Ning Xi stroked her chin, "Why are you so anxious? That guy should be the one who's anxious. When we enter the international market, Dai Wei will be ruined... However, the current issue still needs to be resolved. After all, it's the work of the same person. There are indeed too many similarities in style, even the style of the material is the same. For those who are not in the know, it's easy to believe the one-sided words of the media..."
Gong Shangze, who was standing by, said, "Boss, I've actually thought of this as well. Although my current designs have changed a lot compared to the past, I have always liked the ancient style calligraphers and painters like Lin Fengmian, Zhang Daqian, and Qi Baishi, so most of my past and present works use their calligraphy and painting materials. It just so happens that Dai Wei has seized on this point and made a fuss about it!"
So, I think that our new season's designs would be best to use Chinese elements that have never been used before and are exclusive to Zeling!"
"In this case... I'm afraid we need to ask a master to customize the pattern material for us, right?" Ning Xi couldn't help but think, "But, asking a contemporary calligrapher to customize it is actually a bit risky..."
"Yes, so the other party must be a very famous person!"
Ning Xi thought about it for a while, then said, "If you put it that way, I can think of someone... Song Jin, Master Song! I went to see his exhibition once, it was absolutely amazing! It's a pity that Master Song has now retired to the mountains and forests, and it's impossible for him to accept commercial works anymore!"
Gong Shangze was a little excited when he heard this, "Boss, you and I are thinking of the same thing. I was thinking of Mr. Song! I am also his loyal fan! Many years ago, when he had not yet retired, I spent my three years of savings to buy one of his paintings. Unfortunately... the painting was lost when I was kicked out by the landlord, and now his new works can no longer be bought on the market..."
"So, what you mean is... to ask Elder Song to come out?" Ning Xi asked.
“Although it’s difficult, I want to try!” Gong Shangze nodded, his eyes showing a hint of determination. “A long time ago, I hoped to cooperate with Mr. Song one day. It’s out of obsession and emotion, and it can be regarded as fulfilling a wish of mine. Regardless of success or failure…”
"Then give it a try! I'll go with you tomorrow!"
"Really... is it really possible?" Gong Shangze was a little surprised. After all, he knew it was very risky this time, but he still insisted because of his obsession.
"Of course you can. For a designer, the most important thing is enthusiasm! Passion! Since Mr. Song's work can make you burn, of course I will do my best to help you!" Ning Xi said and turned to Qiao Weilan at the side, "Director Qiao, what do you think?"
Qiao Weilan hesitated for a moment, "Although the possibility is not great, it's worth a try. People like Mr. Song are very interested in rapport. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to get along with him. Even if it doesn't work out, we still have other options."
"Okay, that's settled!" Ning Xi made the decision, "Then I'll have to trouble my colleagues in the PR department with these messy reports!"
"Yes, I have already given the instructions." Qiao Weilan nodded.
Ning Xi couldn't help but sigh. It was good to have a professional at home. Qiao Weilan had already formed an excellent public relations team early on, just for this day.
