This is vanity fair. Melvin is not the first person to make a profit under the banner of blue Li, nor will he be the last.
In fact, from another point of view, Disney is trying to use the "invincible aura" of Langley to open up the situation? This is the current momentum of lanli in Hollywood. It seems that it only needs a little bit of halo fragments to make it easy for others to enjoy endless convenience. Compared with the negative rumors on the social network, lanli's status and influence are unshakable.
For laymen, the wave of "against blue rite" on the social network is higher and higher, creating an illusion that the whole world is on the opposite side of blue rite. The vast momentum seems to be making blue rite fall into the biggest crisis in his career. It's not just the prospect of the Oscars season, it seems that even in terms of market appeal, blue ceremony is losing people's support and love.
For professionals, lanli's strength is still rising steadily. Whether it's the box office trend curve of "drunken folk songs" and "gravity", or the vultures led by Melvin hovering for a long time, all these directly or indirectly prove that lanli's incomparable influence in the industry. As for those rumors, they have no power at all and are not worth mentioning.
The psychological gap created by this difference just proves one point: the information inequality caused by class differences, living environment and ideology still exists objectively, even in the Internet age of information ocean. Similarly, the results of the US presidential election and brexit in 2016 were completely opposite to those of the public opinion polls - "unexpected", which shocked the elites and caught them off guard.
Mainstream speech may not always be what it looks like. In the information ocean of the Internet age, people can control more and more information resources and claim to have a deeper and wider understanding of the world. However, it is becoming more and more difficult to select and judge from various kinds of information. Many times - even most of the time - appearances are deceptive.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Melvin made use of the aura of Langley to break the shackles of his career and made a breakthrough in his career; But it's all up to today: Andy clarifies the truth, and Lydia deals with the follow-up——
Lydia didn't use thunder to cut off all Melvin's retreats, because there was no need to kill them all; She just revealed the truth of the matter, and the rest would come naturally. The "have to tell story" between Melvin and Langley presents a very different template, which is eye opening.
"Laughing at Blue's suit taste"?
This should be one of the most ridiculous and funny fashion anecdotes in the new century. The problem is not Melvin's attitude; It's Melvin's major - if he can't even identify with Langley's suit taste, can he still stand on his feet as a stylist?
Although Langley did not say on any occasion, "ban Melvin."; But the rumors were enough to put Melvin in jail.
Melvin still refuses to give up his arms and tries to fight in the fashion world - even blue Lee, he can't cover the sky with his hands, can he? But he forgot that, many times, the fashion circle is more cruel and bloody than the film circle.
We need to cooperate in the awards season.
We've been working together for a long time.
Get rid of magazine interviews.
Lose exposure.
Drop the party invitation.
Most importantly, lose brand sponsorship.
When a stylist loses his brand sponsorship, it also means that his development path has come to an end.
The development of things is far more rapid and fierce than imagined. Melvin's career almost begins to fall apart with naked eyes, and the speed of the overall collapse is beyond imagination; But he was helpless. It seems to be a bit out of the question. Lanli doesn't need to do it by himself. It's just a rumor. The fashion circle can't wait to take the place of lanli and lift the sword, cutting off all the retreat of Melvin.
Of course, the name "Melvin brads" still has enough persuasion and attraction for the third and fourth line actors, and he will not be unable to find a job; However, from the focus of attention to retreat to the halo of no one, the sharp and fierce gap is a more terrible torture, making him ugly and embarrassed.
But does anyone care?
The so-called "nobody" is that even if you throw it into the water, you can't make a spray. Even before you have time to make ripples, you have regained calm again.
……
"Which brand of suit did you choose in the end?"
Lan Li casts her eyes at Mei duo. Mei duo's eyes twinkle with curiosity. Her eyes are burning with a little gossip, which makes Lan Li smile. "Mei duo, are you curious or are your friends curious?"
"Hey, lenley! You may not answer, but you can't doubt my character! " MeDo immediately straightened up and expressed her strong protest.
Lan Li didn't say anything, but he just looked at Mei duo quietly, with a smile in his eyes, which made Mei duo lose the battle bit by bit. In the end, he still couldn't resist, raised his hands to surrender, and gave up the news, "OK, OK! My friends
"MeDo!" Paul, sitting next to him, widened his eyes and exclaimed in disbelief.
Meiduo looked up to the sky and sighed, "I know, I know. I shouldn't be like this. Lan Li has a headache for these gossip. I shouldn't make trouble; But, Dad, you know little girls... "
"No, he doesn't know." The smile on the corner of lanli's mouth rises slightly and interrupts meDo's words. Then you can see that both meDo and Paul are stunned. MeDo opens her mouth slightly, but finds that she can't refute. Paul simply raises her hands to show her surrender. Lanli then says, "it's not a big deal, let alone a secret, I ended up with a suit by George Wilkes
"Who?" MeDo is full of question marks. She doesn't remember that top brands have such a number one character.
Langley said with a smile, "it doesn't matter who he is. What matters is that his design suits me best."
George Wilkes, the evening dress that Langley first attended the Golden Globe Award, was designed by him. At that time, he was just a nobody at the beginning, while Lan Li was a strong new man; In the following years, the career of Langley showed a triple jump curve, but George didn't use Langley's fame to open up the situation, and still worked hard to manage his own personal brand - not to mention the great success of his career, but he was firmly established.
Wilkes' outstanding ability mainly lies in the unique collocation of colors and fabrics. On the basis of simple and generous line cutting, Wilkes is often able to create more novel styles through the different textures of colors and materials. When he first cooperated, his ability was not highlighted, but now he has gradually formed his own style and won the love of lanli at a glance.
In the face of Lan Li's simple words, Mei duo rolled her eyes mercilessly and spread out her hands, "can't refute." Then he turned to Paul and said, "Dad, you need to be confident, too, you know?"
"You know I can't help it." Paul repeatedly waved his hand to show his "innocence", and then looked at Lan Li with a smile, "this self-confidence, in addition to Lan Li, I can't think of anyone who can not be annoying." There was a slight pause. "Is that designer all right? He didn't continue to spread any negative comments, did he? "
Who?
Lan Li frowned slightly, and there was a puzzled look in his eyes.
"It's the designer named Melvin. Does he have any rumor behind his back? " Paul naturally said, "I just heard that Chris Hemsworth had planned to break up the partnership, but Melvin finally met Chris personally and successfully convinced him to continue the partnership. In the case of them, they always like to arrange things at random behind their backs, and the dirty water of those nonsense is always unavoidable. "
This is true in any industry: it is difficult to build a good reputation for brand image. An accident, a rumor and a slander may make countless previous efforts disappear, especially in Vanity Fair, because those slanders and slanders have no cost. That's why kids are hard to deal with.
At this time, lanli suddenly realized that he was serious. He didn't remember Melvin at all. After the small episode of the day's trial installation, he directly left it behind. Although it was a bit arrogant, the fact was that Melvin was not worth lanli's time and energy to remember, even if it was superfluous to remember.
Feeling the worry from Paul, Langley looked at meDo and said with a smile, "I said, don't let your father know about these boring gossip? He's been bored in the hospital for a long time. If he's not careful, he's going to become the makeup artist and assistants. All his thoughts are focused on these trivial gossip. "
"It's not me, it's the nurses, OK?" MeDo raised her hands in protest.
Paul was also distracted and laughed directly. "I have no choice. All the patients and nurses here are gossiping. Everyone stays here and gets moldy. Those gossips are the only condiment to support life. I feel that in the past month, I have realized a completely different Hollywood."
"It's not a good sign." Lan Li looked sad and shook his head.
Paul tried to protest, and then he realized that he couldn't say that he couldn't do it. Then his mind came to him, and he immediately realized that his focus had been deflected, "Hey! hey! Langley hall, don't change the subject. We were just discussing another matter. Did you mean it? "
"You're the only one in the discussion. Me and meDo are not involved." Lan Li's face looks like a shopkeeper, leaving everything clean.
