After reading Gilles de Castei's information, Wen Xinya already had a general idea of what she needed to pay attention to and prepare for this invitation, and she began to look forward to the meeting tomorrow.
After all, Mr. Gilles de Castelldefels is not only an excellent jewelry design instructor, but also a jewelry design appraiser with unique vision. Gilles de Castelldefels was one of the judges in the last Paris Style International Jewelry Design Competition.
Wen Xinya hopes to befriend Gilles de Castel, who has a huge influence on her in the field of jewelry design.
"How do you plan to respond to the request from the Paris Style International Jewelry Association?" Since the launch of the phoenix set, it has indeed attracted widespread attention in the world. Even in European countries that have never regarded gold as an aesthetic requirement, the beauty of the phoenix lies in its powerful and vital connotation. This strong connotation has made people ignore its material.
He still remembered the breathtaking scene at the Wen's Group Jewelry Exhibition when Xinya stood on the catwalk wearing a full set of young phoenixes.
Phoenix is reborn!
The phoenix emerges from its cocoon and becomes a butterfly!
The Phoenix is reborn from the ashes!
He had to admit that Mo Yunyao's jewelry design skills had reached the pinnacle and no one in the world could match her.
"I have decided not to accept their request." Wen Xinya told Si Yiyan her decision. She had made this decision long after her grandfather handed this matter to her.
During the last years of her pregnancy, her mother had an extraordinary understanding of the inheritance of life and the continuation of bloodline, so the designs of the five sets of jewelry are all based on the theme of warmth and happiness.
This set of Phoenix Chicks is not suitable to be permanently put away for people to visit and admire. It is more suitable for inheritance, just like the phoenix nirvana. The phoenix represents the endless vitality, which represents the inheritance of life. The sales strategy for the next generation of collection is the inheritance and continuation of life, bloodline, and incense, which is in line with the interpretation of the Phoenix Chicks.
Si Yiyan expected her decision. He said calmly, "If that's the case, then you have to figure out how to reject Gil de Castei."
If Xinya wants to achieve greater success in jewelry design, she will inevitably have to come into contact with people from the Paris Fashion International Jewelry Association in the future. Gilles de Castel holds a very high status in the Paris Fashion International Jewelry Association, so it is inevitable that she will make friends with him.
"Let's meet this Gilles de Castei first. My current understanding of him comes from the information investigated by Sister Yanhua, which can only be used as a reference." Wen Xinya was obviously also troubled by this matter. Europeans always have a sense of arrogance in their bones. This arrogance makes them look more confident than others, but they are definitely not the kind of people who can easily accept rejection.
"Having said that, you should be mentally prepared. From what I know, Gilles de Casteyi is a very typical French man. He is full of typical French passion and romance, but in his heart he has the unique sense of superiority and pride of French men. Moreover, he is a true descendant of the nobility. Although he is only a branch of the family, he has a very high status in the de Casteyi family. It will be difficult for you to convince him."
This was Xinya’s first contact with people from the Fashion International Jewelry Association, and it was also a crucial step in her life. The jewelry design industry places great emphasis on personality. Only those with a personality as dazzling as jewelry can design the most perfect work. This is a theory that many true jewelry masters agree with.
Therefore, this is also the pursuit of many jewelry designers, and it is also the requirement of jewelry masters to their juniors.
So where do personality scores come from
Basically, it is manifested through the contact between the two sides.
If Xinya's performance fails to gain Gilles de Castelj's approval, it will also affect the entire Paris Fashion International Jewelry Association's impression of her.
Impression is the first manifestation of personality, because most people have the subconscious idea of first impression. If you don’t like someone you meet at first sight, you probably won’t bother to interact with them, so impression is very important.
Even the most selfless people will be affected slightly by it, but in a game, this tiny influence can sometimes determine victory or defeat and the overall situation.
"Don't worry, I will handle it carefully." It was useless to worry without seeing Gilles de Castel. Although Wen Xinya attached great importance to this invitation, she was not nervous.
Si Yiyan didn't say anything else. Xinya was a smart person and knew how to stop at the right things. What's more, she was always good at performing on the spot. No matter how difficult Gil de Castei was, she would be able to find a way to deal with him. Apart from anything else, he knew that she had studied Gil de Castei's information with Liu Yanhua today, so she must have some ideas in her mind.
Wen Xinya changed the subject and said happily, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the preliminary results of the Milan Expo International Jewelry Design Competition are out, and I'm on the shortlist."
Nearly half of the contestants have been eliminated in the first round of the competition, which shows how fierce the competition is in this jewelry design competition. Although Wen Xinya has participated in many jewelry design competitions and is very confident in herself, she still felt very happy when she saw her name on the preliminary shortlist on the official website of the competition today.
"Xinya, congratulations!" A smile appeared on Si Yiyan's face. He knew the shortlisted list as soon as it was announced, and he also knew that Xinya's actual ranking was actually first.
Wen Xinya held Si Yiyan's hand and said excitedly: "The topic of the second competition has been announced. It is designed with the theme of "gold."
"It seems that the influence of the phoenix designed by your mother on the world is greater than we imagined." The gold-themed design is rare in high-level international competitions because gold does not conform to the aesthetic taste of most people, except for European countries, even Asian countries are the same.
Wen Xinya leaned in Si Yiyan's arms, with a proud look on her face: "I'm proud of my mother!"
The mother gave the young phoenix a powerful spiritual connotation. Although not many people truly understand this spiritual connotation, more people are influenced by it.
Si Yiyan's fingers threaded through her hair and he smiled softly, "One day, you will become someone who surpasses your mother."
And that day won’t be too far away.
Xinya has a thorough grasp of the spirit of her works; what she lacks is only the expressive skills in various designs.
Skills can be honed, but only spirituality is given by talent.
