Chapter 311

The story is not complicated.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is about to begin. Lanli won the nomination for the first time, and "buried alive" is still being expanded in an orderly way. Naturally, Andy can't miss this important opportunity to enhance his popularity and recognition.

However, lanli had been shooting "speed and passion 5" intensively before. After that, he went to Hawaii for a holiday. Let alone choosing clothes, he didn't even have time to measure the detailed data of his body size. It's a real headache.

Andy has made two preparations. On the one hand, he has contacted the stylists who are now on the top list and can't appear the situation of Melvin brades in the last Emmy award again; On the other hand, we started to contact the major fashion brands to see if there are any brands willing to sponsor lanli and provide the red carpet clothing of lanli for free.

It's not easy.

Fashion circle and film circle are all vanity fair shrouded in the spotlight. They have a clear attitude. They are really lack of interest in a new person with limited achievements like Lan Li.

In recent years, lanli's rising momentum is really fierce, and the two nominations of the Golden Globe Award have made him take the lead; But strictly speaking, lanli is still a rookie who has been in the public eye for less than a year, and the nomination of Golden Globe is not an Oscar. More importantly, the return rate of men's clothing sponsorship investment is far less than that of women.

Of course, there are still some brands that are interested in lanli, but most of them are second-line brands, as well as independent brands of unknown origin. There is no indication among the top brands. Even Burberry politely refuses Andy's inquiry. Last time, blue Lee wore Burberry on the red carpet of Emmy Awards, but obviously, for such a big brand, it has no bonus value at all.

Andy's goal is the stylist.

Stylists and brokers are the same, they can manage several artists' fashion consultants at the same time, and their strong contacts can also obtain more clothing resources. As a top stylist, the salary is even higher than that of an agent - because they can draw a percentage from both the brand and the artist.

But choosing a stylist is extremely difficult.

Those who are not well-known are either arrogant, fastidious in taste and not interested in creating new artists, or they are full of work and have no time to sign new artists; Some of them are famous, others are unknown. Their strength has not been recognized enough. Every stylist has his own style. It's much more difficult to find a spark with the artists than to choose a script.

Eaton is in this case, into Andy's line of sight, he is door-to-door volunteer, said he is willing to make modeling for lanli.

Andy looked up Eaton's background information. He has not been in the business for more than a year, and there are no modeling works worth mentioning. However, Eaton's resume is very rich. He was born in Saville street, graduated from London University of the arts, and worked as a buyer of Harold's department store for nearly two years during his study. He has good connections in the four major fashion weeks. After transferring to a stylist, he has cooperated with several fashion magazines. Although he has not been a stylist of an artist, his achievements have been recognized to a certain extent.

Most moved Andy, or Eaton's Saville street background.

Langley's research and specialty of suits left him a deep impression when he confronted Melvin last time, so Andy decided to give Eaton a chance and Langley a chance to see if they could produce sparks. Compared with the Oscar, the golden globe has a higher fault tolerance rate, which can be used as a test of cooperation between two people.

So, today's meeting. Andy almost came to New York at the first time, but lanli went to the supermarket slowly, which made Andy a little sad.

But Andy didn't expect that Langley and Eaton actually knew each other. This makes Andy curious about the background of lanli's wealth again.

"Do you customize the shape for lanli?" Matthew looked flatly at Eaton. He didn't look at him too much, but his carelessness showed up.

Obviously, Matthew is looking at Eaton's clothes. They are fashionable, avant-garde and unique, but they are not suitable for lanli.

"You're still the same as before." But Eaton didn't care. He laughed. "We're not in court now, sir." Eaton deliberately accentuated the word "sir.".

In fact, according to the rules, people must use the word "Sir" when they call Matthew and Langley, and that's what Andre is - and they call Andre "Lord."; But they are all classmates of the same age, and they are not in the upper class social circle in London, so their names are relatively approachable.

"If it's Langley, of course his style can't be like this. Besides, it's going to the red carpet at the Golden Globes, not London Fashion week. I am a bold person, not a crazy person. In terms of madness, who can compete with Lan Li? " Eaton's voice is always light, revealing a taste of sunshine, which makes people smile.

"You mean Langley?" Andy looks puzzled“ "Blue Li" and "Crazy", these two words really do not match.

Matthew and Eaton all cast their eyes to blue Li, but they didn't smile. Blue Li spread out his hands. "Rumors stop with wise men." There is no redundant explanation, but with a trace of banter, people can't help laughing.

"So, what are your plans? What's so particular about the red carpet of the Golden Globes Langley looks at Eaton.

Although they are old acquaintances, but after the University contact gradually less, two people are focused on their own professional. Therefore, lanli's understanding of Eaton's strength, style and taste is very limited. Friends belong to friends and work belongs to work. Lanli doesn't plan to appear on the red carpet of the Golden Globe in a big red suit.

Eaton shrugged. "I'm not sure when you'll be back, so I made an appointment with a few brands in advance and asked them to deliver the clothes to my hotel room." Eaton frowned and Tucao, "just arrived in New York less than a week, and even did not have time to find a place to live. Although the hotel room was a bit of a conventional pattern, it could only make complaints about it."

"Just before I left the hotel, Alexander Wang and Tom Ford said they would come and have a look if they had time; Christopher is in Los Angeles now, but he'll send an assistant Eaton spoke very fast, crackling a lot of information.

"Wait a minute." Andy feels a little overwhelmed.

Alexander is the most popular designer in New York in the past five years. His modern and simple design style has won a lot of praise in the market; Tom, needless to say, saved Gucci by his own efforts, and then created a brand named after himself, which firmly occupied a place in the first tier brands.

"Christopher, which Christopher?" Andy has a corresponding name in his mind, but he needs to prove it.

"Bailey. Christopher Bailey. " Eaton replied concisely.

After accepting Burberry in 1997, Christopher, the creative director of Burberry, has brought this century old and backward brand back to its peak. It not only radiates a second life, but also gradually surpasses the golden age of the last century and ushers in its heyday.

Just a week ago, burberry politely rejected the proposal to sponsor Langley; But now, once again, Eaton brings Burberry to Langley.

Andy is really a little surprised. When he thinks about Eaton's family background and work experience, he suddenly realizes that maybe things are not so simple. The British aristocracy is always in the dark for outsiders, because the huge network system is complex, so he just goes around. Andy just knows that Saville street is closely related to the royal family, and then it is one of the top producing areas of handmade suits.

He originally thought that Eaton was still young and had been in the fashion circle for three years with limited qualifications. But obviously, he may have underestimated it.

Andy knows only one, not the other. Although the background of Saville street in Eaton is important, what is more important is his study experience in Oxford dragon primary school and Eaton public school.

It has been asked why brotherhood in British universities is so important. In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, contacts.

Take British Prime Minister David Cameron as an example. He was born into an upper middle class family in London. His father was a stockbroker and his mother was the daughter of a baronet. His family originated from Inverness in the highlands of Scotland. It is the direct descendant of King William IV and his mistress. It has a long history in British financial circles. Many members of his ancestors worked as stock brokers or financial investors.

During his college years, he entered Oxford University and, relying on his family background, entered the bullinon club. After graduation, members of the brotherhood scattered in all walks of life, helping each other and laying an important foundation for his political career, and later became the youngest prime minister since Robert banks Jenkinson in 1812.

In 2014, a film named "the hustle and bustle aristocrat" was created based on the Burlington club.

In the UK, the so-called "fraternity" network does not start from the University. It has been accumulated since primary school. Like Langley, Andre, Eaton, Matthew and so on, there are less than 600 classmates around him, but now they continue to go out of society, come to their own position under the arrangement of the family, and play a greater role.

Lanli left London in a unique way. If it is arranged by the family, it is not difficult for lanli to seek an important position in the financial field. He is also a link in the social circle.

"It's time for dinner now. Why don't we go to the restaurant of the hotel to have dinner together, have a preliminary exchange of ideas, and then start working. What do you think?" Eaton looks young, but acts in a crisp manner. You can see that the polishing of the past few years is working.

Andy nodded. "That would be great."

Actresses need to prepare evening dresses at least three months in advance, while actresses can be slightly shorter, but it also takes about a month. Now it's only half a month away from the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Naturally, every minute must be taken.
