What the media reporters want to see is how Jiang Se can control the situation when Tao Cen has already taken the lead.
After all, the press conference held by ELYSEES today was created for the Leopard that she endorses.
What Mrs. Zhou and others wanted to see was that Jiang Se would be overshadowed by Tao Cen's momentum and would have difficulty coming up with any new tricks.
Tao Cen was dressed very beautifully today. The specially customized AC dress made her radiant. It would be very difficult for Jiang Se to beat her in dressing.
"If I were her, I wouldn't come. It's hard to stand out. It's just embarrassing."
Tao Cen appeared first, and she was supported by a large number of fans at the scene. Among the seats arranged by ELYSEES, except for the first row in the middle of the booth close to the vehicles, which was empty, the first rows on both sides were filled with faces that Mrs. Zhou was very familiar with. They all came to support Tao Cen, and would later purchase other models of ELYSEES vehicles during the officially opened vehicle ordering session.
“It’s hard to say.”
As soon as Mrs. Weng said this, Mrs. Zhou shook her head and covered her lips with her hand. The diamond ring on her finger was extremely eye-catching:
"You can also take off your clothes and show your body." When she said this, several ladies around her couldn't help laughing. Mrs. Zhou also said:
"Aren't there many people in the circle who do this? How else can you attract other people's attention?"
Since Jiang Se's debut, her fashion sense has always been good, but she has always been elegant and graceful, and rarely shows large areas of flesh. If we can see her competing with Tao Cen and appearing sexier today, once the news and photos come out in the afternoon, fans of both sides may have a feast for the eyes, and it will also attract a lot of attention.
After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, several of her good friends nodded. Mrs. Weng just asked:
"You said you ran into her at the airport when you came back from Italy some time ago?"
Just as Mrs. Zhou was about to speak, her daughter reached out and touched her arm gently:
“Here I come.”
She paused what she was about to say, and the ELYSEES staff cleared the way. Jiang Se turned around the shelter at the corner and appeared in Mrs. Zhou's sight.
The sound of shutter buttons could be heard from time to time, and all the invited guests and ELYSEES organizers turned their heads subconsciously.
In stark contrast to Tao Cen who appeared first in a black dress with an imposing manner, Jiang Se appeared with a smile on her face. The moment everyone saw her, she was as pure as a drop of water, sinking into people's hearts and creating ripples, making people's breathing involuntarily slow down, as if they were afraid of disturbing them.
Unlike what Mrs. Zhou said before, Jiang Se could attract everyone's attention by being sexy. She wore a pearl white sleeveless V-neck dress with exquisite embroidery. Her hair was tied up, and a long pearl chain was tied around her neck. The two ends of the pearls hung in front of her chest, swaying slightly as she walked.
This unconventional way of wearing a pearl necklace not only breaks the solemn and heavy feeling given by pearls, giving them a fashionable and youthful element, but also retains the elegant temperament and unique charm of pearl jewelry. It complements the dress she is wearing and is not inferior to Tao Cen in any way.
The dress was originally just ordinary, supported only by Jiang Se's long legs and thin waist, but the pearl necklace was the finishing touch, instantly making her whole person bright.
Mrs. Zhou's daughter noticed that the place where the pearl chain was tied into a knot just happened to reveal Jiang Se's clavicle, making her neck visually longer. The design of the sleeveless dress perfectly showed the lines of her upper body.
In comparison, her elegance forms a sharp contrast with Tao Cen's charm, and she has a more sophisticated feel than Tao Cen's sexiness.
Mrs. Zhou noticed that her daughter had taken out her mobile phone and searched for the keyword "pearl necklace", and her brows furrowed.
Today, ELYSEES' press conference was able to invite two of China's top female stars to the same stage. This move is enough to prove ELYSEES's status in the industry.
The two beauties each have their own merits. When they stand on the stage, it is almost difficult for the people present to notice the presence of a host.
The sounds of taking photos at the scene continued one after another. Tao Cen sat in an ELYSEES, half exposing her plump white legs, and the sounds of camera shutters became more rapid.
Jiang Se, led by the staff, walked to the only Leopard on the scene and stood in front of it.
As an important launch ceremony of ELYSEES in China, in addition to Gao Chaoyang, the general manager of ELYSEES in China, Piech, the head of the Asia-Pacific region, also attended the event today.
After she came on stage, she first held Jiang Se and Tao Cen's hands respectively, saluted today's guests, and then picked up the microphone:
“Welcome to the launch event held by ELYSEES for Leopard today. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, and all media for your continued attention to our company.”
Applause broke out at the scene, and on the large electronic screen behind the Leopard sports car, as Piech spoke, pictures of the different models launched by ELYSEES over the years flashed up.
"It has been ten years since ELYSEES entered China. During these ten years, every progress of ELYSEES is inseparable from your support and encouragement."
As she spoke, the hand holding the pen turned slightly, and each time it turned, a frame of photos would change on the electronic screen behind her. Every car in these photos was a luxury car that was once highly praised and sought after in China.
The curtains above the two glass walls had been drawn, and everyone's attention was fixed on the fluorescent light in the center of the screen.
Piech briefly mentioned the sales success of the ELYSEES historical models, but the focus was still on the Leopard sports car.
This scene was broadcast live around the world via video.
A three-dimensional Leopard analysis diagram appears on the top of the screen, explaining every performance and data of the Leopard sports car in detail, so that everyone who is at the scene or cannot come to the scene but is extremely curious about this supercar can understand it more clearly.
There is no doubt that this sports car is worthy of Piech's praise, calling it a brand new reform of ELYSEES.
The body shape alone has completely subverted all previous sports cars launched by ELYSEES. Its body lines are extremely consistent with the aesthetic structure, making it difficult for anyone who sees the Leopard sports car to look at other supercars.
Under the official website of ELYSEES, there are endless messages asking about the price of this luxury car.
Among these questions, a large number of people expressed their doubts about why ELYSEES chose Jiang Se to endorse the Leopard car.
I am not bound by rules: Today I envy those who can go to the Pearl Exhibition Center and receive invitations, and confess to the two goddesses Jiang Se and Tao Cen at the same time. It is undeniable that Jiang Se is very beautiful, and today's style can also be regarded as a textbook-level dress, but with all due respect, such temperament does not match the Leopard sports car very well.
The message from this netizen named 'I am as unconventional as I am' was welcomed by most people, and his questions were copied and posted countless times.
After Piech finished introducing the basic situation of Leopard, it was finally time for the guests to ask questions about Leopard.
"It's going to be a good show."
When Mrs. Zhou saw this, she finally became interested and sat up straight.
"Ms. Piech." Someone behind Mrs. Zhou raised her hand. Piech in front of the middle screen made a gesture of invitation, and the first invited guest who asked a question stood up:
"As we all know, ELYSEES has been in China for ten years. Tao Cen has always been the spokesperson in the past few years. What was the reason that prompted the ELYSEES Group to make the decision to add Jiang Se as the spokesperson during the launch of Leopard?"
In fact, these questions have been popping up one after another since the news came out that Jiang Se was going to become the spokesperson for ELYSEES, but people from all walks of life have never found a suitable opportunity to ask them in public.
At this moment, someone raised this question, causing a commotion in the crowd. Mrs. Zhou and her friend looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Before this, the ELYSEES official website was filled with a large number of similar questions, but ELYSEES officials did not give a direct answer.
However, during the Q&A session of today’s press conference, an invited guest raised such a question, and ELYSEES executives could not avoid it.
Everyone's eyes were on Jiang Se. Jiang Se looked calm and smiling as he faced the questions from all sides.
She had already prepared herself to face such a sharp question at a time like today, but she did not change her face just because someone asked her. Piech smiled and answered:
"As we all know, ELYSEES has always been committed to recruiting more outstanding talents, and spokespeople are no exception. Ms. Jiang and Ms. Tao are both the best actresses in China, representing different periods and stages..."
Her answer did not satisfy everyone, but this question was just a test. Then someone asked:
"If you follow what Ms. Piech said, do you think the appearance of Leopard is the most important breakthrough and reform of ELYSEES Group? At the same time, ELYSEES Group signed Jiang Se as the spokesperson for this sports car for the first time, instead of having Tao Cen endorse all new cars as in the past. In ELYSEES's view, do you think Jiang Se is better than Tao Cen? In ELYSEES's eyes, are they more different?"
The person asking the questions was a reporter from "Times Style". Her sharp questions immediately made the situation a little awkward.
Tao Cen smiled, and Mrs. Zhou was also waiting for Piech's answer. If Piech didn't answer this question well, and most of the celebrities invited to the scene came just for Tao Cen, it might be difficult for him to get off the stage at today's press conference hosted by ELYSEES.
"Both are excellent actors. We saw Ms. Tao's perseverance in the movie, and we also saw another side of Ms. Jiang that attracted us and is consistent with the designer's concept of the Leopard sports car."
When Piech said this, Mrs. Zhou turned around and winked at Mrs. Weng. Mrs. Weng understood and raised her hand lazily:
"Then I'm confused. Since I entered the venue, I haven't seen any so-called commonality between Jiang Se and the Leopard sports car."
When she got to this point, someone followed up on her topic:
"You said that the Leopard sports car is a special existence that breaks through ELYSEES itself. Excuse me, I really can't see what kind of temperament Jiang Se has that matches this sports car. Does ELYSEES also want to give up the concept that has been passed down for many years, step down from the altar, and play with whoever is popular?"
As soon as the speaker finished speaking, a small burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the Pearl Convention and Exhibition Center.
Mrs. Zhou also covered her lips and smiled, the diamonds on her fingertips sparkled under the light. Her eyes met Tao Cen on the stage, and Tao Cen smiled at her.
The questioner's attitude was a bit sharp. Piech was unhappy, but she still smiled on the surface. She was about to speak when she heard her assistant's urgent call from the earphones in her ears:
"Ms. Piech, an important person has arrived at the scene. The secret police headquarters has sent someone over, and Mr. Garro wants you to receive him in person! Ms. Piech, an important person has arrived at the scene. The secret police headquarters has sent someone over, and Mr. Garro has instructed you to receive him in person! Ms. Piech..."
The assistant repeated this three times in a row, and Piech's expression changed. Her expression change was seen by Mrs. Zhou and others. They just thought that she was stumped by the previous questions and her expression changed in an instant.
If even Piech can't hold on, Jiang Se's continued insistence later will only make him a laughing stock.
"Regarding whether Jiang Se and Leopard's temperaments match each other, and whether ELYSEES has given up the ideals it has always pursued, I think the commercials later will give you the most direct answers."
When she said this, several people, surrounded by the top executives of ELYSEES China, walked directly to the inner field.
The blackout curtains on both sides of the glass wall of the Pearl Convention and Exhibition Center were lowered. In the dim light, the invited guests sitting in the venue only saw Gao Chaoyang bending over and leading a few tall and thin people in.
Not only did these people arrive late, they also arrived at the important moment when Piech was giving a speech. As soon as they arrived, Gao Chaoyang, the general manager of ELYSEES China region, personally escorted them. It was obvious that their identities were not ordinary.
Mrs. Zhou sat up straight and tried to see the faces of these people clearly. Under the light, she could vaguely see that they were a few young people wearing comfortable casual clothes.
Mrs. Weng noticed that after Gao Chaoyang led a few people in, he seemed to be talking in a low voice. The few people did not look at him, but waved and greeted Jiang Se on the stage. She was puzzled:
"this… "
Mrs. Zhou was surprised when she saw the faces of several people clearly:
"Why are they here?"
"Do you know him?"
Mrs. Zhou's face was uncertain. After hearing Mrs. Weng's question, she turned around and whispered after a while:
"The young masters inside the inner wall." When she said this, her face turned pale and blue, as if she was talking to herself, or asking Mrs. Weng:
"Why would they come to such an occasion?"
She had been doing business with her husband for many years and recognized the faces of Nie Dan and the others.
Especially in recent years, Nie Dan and others have also been interested in investing in the entertainment industry. It is said that they have invested in several of Jiang Se's movies, but I have never heard of any dealings between Jiang Se and them.
Mrs. Zhou felt that something was not right at this moment. She remembered that the newspaper had said that Jiang Se's fiancé had an unusual background.
There were rumors in the circle, but she had a very high status and had asked around, but no one could tell the truth.
She guessed that this was Jiang Se's way of raising her own status, and she did not agree with the rumors that Jiang Se's fiancé had an outstanding background. If her future husband's family was really so powerful, would she still have to enter the entertainment industry, compete with Tao Cen for the endorsement of ELYSEES, and endure the pressure and be scolded by Chinese netizens
This is impossible! She thought about it and felt that she was just scaring herself. (To be continued)
