Chapter 1068 Unique Fashion Show(1/2)
If many domestic superstars and celebrities came to support the movie "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", this was something that many media reporters expected.
After all, in the past three years, with the dazzling success of Oriental DreamWorks, he has also begun to build his own network of contacts in the entertainment industry.
Even if the number of elite guests from all walks of life who came to attend the premiere was slightly larger, it would only surprise many media reporters at best.
But now, seeing Aphra and Yang Ming talking familiarly and seemingly having a deep relationship between them, many reporters at the entrance of the National Auditorium were really shocked.
After being reminded by some reporters who were familiar with Hollywood news, an idea popped into the minds of all the reporters at the scene.
Could it be that Aphra will join Oriental DreamWorks?
Thinking of this possibility, all the media reporters who saw Yang Ming shaking hands with Aphra couldn't help but shudder, and then they all became as excited as if they had been injected with blood.
However, when many reporters wanted to ask questions, Aphra had already walked into the auditorium.
Immediately, the reporters immediately pointed their microphones at Yang Ming.
"Mr. Yang, what is your relationship with Ms. Aphra? Why did she come to your movie premiere today?"
"Ms. Aphra's agency contract with American CAA is about to expire. Will the next stop be Oriental DreamWorks?" Wucuo Novel Network did not skip words.
"Mr. Yang Ming, did Ms. Aphra come specially to attend your movie premiere today?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words...
Seeing many reporters crowded with excited faces outside the red carpet circle, Yang Ming thought for a moment and responded to the speculations of those in front of him. After all, Aphra's agency contract with CAA has not officially expired, so don't make any trouble then.
Yao Mozi.
"cough!"
He coughed dryly, cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, Ms. Aphra and I are very good friends. We have a lot of exchanges in music. She happened to be traveling in China this time, so she heard the news and stopped by.
, it’s just a compliment between friends, nothing more.”
"Please don't make random guesses, thank you for your support."
There are some things that can only be done, not said.
Although Barber may have reached an agreement with Aphra on cooperation, how could such a thing be revealed now?
After all, Aphra still has a contract that will expire in two months. It will not be too late to announce the cooperation between the two parties by then. There is no need to be in trouble with CAA now.
There are some superficial rules that everyone still needs to abide by.
In fact, no matter who is interviewed by reporters, who tells the truth?
Many reporters heard Yang Ming's explanation. Although they didn't completely believe it, they could accept it. For them, it would be a bit incredible if Aphra chose to join Oriental DreamWorks.
Besides, Oriental DreamWorks is a film company, not a professional agency or record company.
Maybe Aphra came to China to attend the premiere of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" because of her personal friend relationship with Yang Ming.
Although most of them accepted Yang Ming's explanation, some reporters were still skeptical.
Because this time point is too sensitive and too fascinating, Aphra's contract with CAA expires in two months, and according to US media reports, Aphra seems to have no intention of renewing its contract with CAA.
However, the superstars and celebrities who arrived soon distracted the reporters' attention.
Stars in the entertainment industry, ace hosts in the literary and art world, troops from the military art troupe, some well-known writers in the literary world, Beijing-based elites from some large local group companies represented by Geely Automobile, and a group of educational celebrities invited by the old dean.
The arrival of every guest made the reporters feel bright and excited, and they were filled with emotion that the influence of Oriental DreamWorks is getting bigger and bigger.
When the time reached seven o'clock, most of the invited guests had arrived. Those who couldn't get away even called Yang Ming to express their apologies.
Yang Ming looked at his watch and stamped his feet anxiously. Minister Guo and the big shot hadn't arrived yet. Under the urging of the staff, he had no choice but to turn around and leave and walked into the auditorium. After all, the premiere was about to begin.
here we go.
Anyway, Minister Guo had told him before that he should follow his own plan and not wait for them.
According to the plan, after all the guests have arrived, there will be a Three Kingdoms fashion show.
Several male and female models are wearing ancient costumes from the Three Kingdoms era, from civilian plain clothes to palace attire, from daily wear to battlefield robes, all the costumes that have appeared in the movie will be displayed on the stage one by one.
In planning this premiere, Yang Ming also solicited the opinions of several movie stars and queens. For these people, all the publicity and hype are meaningless.
Therefore, Yang Ming is planning to turn the premiere into a Three Kingdoms fashion show, using a modern model to interpret ancient Chinese culture. This can be regarded as an attempt by Yang Ming.
As tall female models and strong male models appeared wearing Three Kingdoms costumes one after another, the host on site would also introduce to everyone the name and meaning of the costumes worn by each model, as well as who should wear them appropriately and where they should be.
Wear it on such occasions.
For the planning of this Three Kingdoms fashion show, Yang Ming did not hire hundreds of models. After each model appeared, they would not walk around backstage and then change their clothes. Instead, they would stay there after they appeared.
On stage.
Each model represents a Three Kingdoms costume style, and each model represents that the costume will appear in the movie.
Listening to the host's introduction, all the guests present were stunned by Yang Ming's generosity.
They were not shocked by the fashion show at this time, but were shocked by Oriental DreamWorks' expenditure on the costumes and styles in the movie premiering tonight.
Seeing dozens of models on the stage wearing various costumes, several types of shirts and armors, and a steady stream of models still walking on stage, it is likely that there will be no less than 100 models on stage. If 100 models really appear in a movie
The costumes really set a record in the Chinese film industry.
At this time, the host looked at the card in his hand and said loudly: "According to statistics, in the movie "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", the crew produced a total of 113 types of costumes from the Three Kingdoms period, from common people to generals and emperors, from
Everything from linen underskirts to imperial robes are included.”
"Even so, all the costume styles in "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" still cannot describe the entire costume culture of the Three Kingdoms. The Three Kingdoms belong to the Han Dynasty, and there are about nine basic styles of Hanfu. Under the basic styles, they are distinguished by their collars and sleeve shapes.
, different changes in waistbands, cutting methods, etc. create hundreds of styles."
In order to better explain the culture of the costumes of the Three Kingdoms to all the guests, the host pointed to one of the models wearing Shenfu and said: "This is the Shenfu of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the dress that best embodies the spirit of Chinese culture. Shenfu
Clothes symbolize the unity of nature and man, the Eastern virtues of magnanimity, fairness and integrity, and tolerance of all things.”
At this point, the host walked up to the model and explained the meaning of each part of the clothes: "The cuffs are wide, symbolizing the harmony of heaven; the neckline intersecting at right angles, symbolizing true squareness; a straight seam on the back running from top to bottom, symbolizing the integrity of humanity. The waist tie
belt, elephant
Symbolizes balance; divided into two parts, the upper garment and the lower garment, symbolizing the two rituals; four pieces of cloth are used for the upper garment, symbolizing the four seasons of the year. Divided into two parts, the upper garment and the lower garment, symbolizing the two rituals; four pieces of cloth are used for the upper garment, symbolizing the four seasons of the year;
Twelve pieces of cloth symbolize the twelve months of the year."...
Just when the host was talking about the Shenyi culture of the Han Dynasty, two people appeared at the entrance of the auditorium. One of them was Minister Guo, who Yang Ming had not been waiting for. Behind them, four or five people stood vaguely.
The two middle-aged people in front were protected in the middle.
One of them, an old man with a Chinese character face, had a majestic appearance and was not lacking in kindness. When he heard the host’s explanation, he couldn’t help but stop. After listening for a while at the door of the auditorium, he showed an approving look on his face and turned to his side.
Minister Guo said softly: "To be honest, if I hadn't heard this host's explanation today, I really wouldn't have known that our Chinese costumes in the Han Dynasty were so particular. It's true that we live and learn. Today I really
You’ve come to the right place.”
When Minister Guo heard the words of the old man beside him, he immediately smiled and said without leaving any trace: "I didn't know about it before, but then I kept hearing what Xiao Yang said about foreign aristocratic traditions. In fact, they are all leftovers from our country.
How can we be particular about our ancestors?"
"Haha, this young man is really interesting." After hearing this, the old man said with a faint smile.
"I'm going to inform them now." Minister Guo was about to take out his phone and make a call when the old man stopped him and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for a while."
This strange ancient fashion show made all the guests in the auditorium watch it with gusto. If they just listened to the host's pure explanation, it would really not be attractive.
But coupled with the fashion show of the models, the host would occasionally make some interesting jokes, and all the guests watching would burst into laughter and applaud the host from time to time.
"This is a costume that can only be worn by princes in the Han Dynasty. Both the patterns and colors are very particular. Even the jade pendants have their own special features, such as the jade pendant group. The jade pendant group has both the nature of ceremonial jade and eye-catching decorative function.
, non-princes and dignitaries cannot wear it, and even the emperor of the Han Dynasty specially formulated a law for this system of jade pendants, stipulating what kind of people can wear this kind of jade pendants and on what occasions."
"I remember when I went to Europe on business trips, I always listened to what they said about the etiquette of the aristocrats, how to drink, and their old castle of the nobles in Laushizi. They treated it like a treasure. In fact, in my opinion, those so-called nobles in the West
Compared with our ancient Chinese dignitaries, the aristocratic demeanor is really weak. It’s all left over from our ancestors’ play.”…
The host's words once again made everyone at the scene burst into laughter, especially his ridicule of the so-called aristocratic etiquette in Europe, which made everyone present happy. To be honest, with the increasingly frequent exchanges in the modern world, the domestic attitude towards the West is becoming more and more intense.
The more fake etiquette and civilization disgusted them, now the host said what they felt in their heart, so they applauded for it.
After a while, the distinctive Three Kingdoms fashion show ended.
Yang Ming slowly walked onto the stage. There were too many big shots in the crew, so this time he was the only one to take the stage to give a speech before the movie was released. No one else was ready to go on stage.
He faced the microphone and saw all the guests in the audience. Then he saw Minister Guo and several people standing at the entrance of the auditorium. When he saw one of the old men, his pupils suddenly shrank and he was shocked. He did not expect Guo Guo.
The minister actually invited this guy over.
But his expression quickly recovered.
He immediately waved a staff member not far behind him to come over, whispered a few words, and pointed secretly in the direction of the entrance to the auditorium, then turned his head and coughed lightly, and said slowly:
"In the late Qing Dynasty, when we faced the invasion of foreign powers, we talked to others about etiquette and civilization, and they talked to us about guns. Later, after the founding of China, under the leadership of great men, we talked to others about guns and guns, and others said that we were not good enough.
Democracy is not a member of the civilized world!"
With an ironic tone, Yang Ming pretended to spread his hands with an innocent expression, making everyone smile knowingly.
This is also true.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, people talked about being a country of etiquette, and it almost became a semi-colonial country. Now that China has become stronger, it speaks with strength, while the West always uses so-called etiquette to speak of things.
"I never think that wearing handmade clothes, living in a castle, and drinking red wine means you are a noble!"
--Ha ha.
