"Oh? Is it? My news is always behind the fashion trend. It seems that I have missed some important moments." Renly is still the same Renly, smiling and warm, gentlemanly and decent, the corners of his mouth slightly raised The radian softened the facial lines, and all emotions were secretly hidden in those eyes.

Melvin Brides stood in front of him, his flattering expression was slightly stiff, and the line of his jaw tightened invisibly.

Melvin, this is really a long lost face, and the memory has to go back very, very far into the past.

At that time, the "Pacific War" premiered at the Chinese/Chinese Theater in Los Angeles as a TV series, which also gave Renly the opportunity to officially stand on the red carpet; Andy had just and Renly Signing a contract, this premiere is the first public event after the two have collaborated.

For the red carpet, Andy took Renly to visit a stylist to choose clothes for Renly; but the attitude of the stylist was not professional enough, and Renly launched a counterattack lightly, attacking the other side in vain and dumb. Silently, the collaboration ended in an unhappy end, and Renly chose the outfits himself.

That stylist was Melvin Bleds.

In fact, that was the only meeting between Renly and Melvin. He was not a personality that would retaliate, and he responded directly on the spot. A little guy with no connection to Renly's acting career, he didn't want to waste any extra time on such trivial things. Turning around, Renly had left behind.

Renly had that kind of mind, but Melvin didn't.

That head-on conflict made Melvin disgraced. Although there were no outsiders on the spot, the news spread like wildfire, and there has never been an absolute secret in the fashion circle. This has almost become a major stain on Melvin's career. Although it has no impact on subsequent work, the damage to word of mouth and reputation is still inevitable.

For Renly, Melvin hated his teeth. Over the years, in order to fight against Renly, he took the initiative to take over the work of Vin Diesel, Chris Hemsworth and others, and even tried to contact the work of Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence. , and kept spreading bad words about Renly within the fashion circle, hoping that one day he could stand upright in front of Renly again and examine that face condescendingly with contempt.

but…

He failed.

To be precise, in the entire Hollywood and the entire fashion industry, it is an impossible task to find an industry practitioner, actor or director or stylist or so on who has reached the level of Renly.

At a party six months ago, someone inadvertently asked Melvin, "I heard that you did styling for Renly when he first entered the business?"

Unexpectedly, Melvin nodded in affirmation.

After that, the development of things gradually derailed. The strong influence of the name "Renly Hall" in the entertainment and fashion circles was once again verified. There are more and more job opportunities and voluntary sponsorship brands. Even if it is just the aura of Renly, it is enough for him to use it. In less than six months, Melvin has made a breakthrough in his troubled career.

This year, for the first time in his career, Melvin was in the middle of the awards season, picking out a Golden Globe gown for Jonah Hill and an Oscar gown for the "Crazy Flintstones" production team; most importantly Yes, he got the agency for Chris Hemsworth's Oscars dress and hand-picked the dress for Thor.

It is no exaggeration to say that Melvin's stylist career has really entered the advanced stage, and then it can enter the stage of full-scale rapid development.

But there's always something unsettling about it all: what if someone asks Renly for confirmation? What if Renly deliberately went about his negative rumors? What if Renly couldn't get used to his success and deliberately toppled the stage? What if Renly attacked Chris Hemsworth for attacking him

Melvin still disliked Renly, and even hated Renly, and the memory of the shame lingered; but deep down he knew how the changes of the past six months had come from almost every search. The people he collaborated with would ask Renly what it was like when he first came out, and the details of that "collaboration" story. , things are irreversible.

The only way now is to start from the root and change Renly's impression, just like patching, maybe things can turn around; if all goes well, he even starts to imagine that he can really have a relationship with Renly , and then use Renly to open up the situation and let his career flourish. Eaton Dormer is what he hopes to chase.

So, knowing Renly's schedule today, Melvin chose to take the initiative.

But the beginning seems to be a little different from what I imagined.

Melvin took the initiative to flatter Renly, and Renly's response seemed to be a light-hearted joke, without any special meaning, but Melvin always felt that there was something deep in Renly's eyes, and it seemed that he had already done so long ago. See through his plan.

Is this his crankiness

But Melvin didn't have time to think about it. He cleared his throat, then said with a big smile, "It seems that our concept of fashion is out of date. For some people, following the trend is the only criterion; but for some people In other words, your own style can become the vane of the trend.”

Complimenting again, Melvin quietly gave all the praise to Renly.

Renly looked at Melvin, a little weird, because Melvin's flattery was too obvious and too clumsy, the urgency that was vaguely revealed was already a little hungry; but Renly didn't know why.

He remembered Melvin because of the courtesy and customs brought about by noble education; he also remembered what happened at the time, but it had no meaning to him, and naturally he could not understand Melvin's current state. But the hereditary nobles knew nothing about the world. Melissa Benoist had not been able to deceive Renly before, and neither could Melvin now.

Although Renly didn't understand Melvin's motivation and why he didn't want to know, that didn't mean he would sit still.

However, Renly didn't have the time or the need to bother with Melvin, and there are countless such nobodies in Hollywood's Vanity Fair, even on Oscar night. Therefore, Ren Li took retreat as his advance. He didn't speak, refused to respond positively, just nodded with a smile on his face, and then turned his eyes away and said in a relaxed tone, "No matter what the current trend is, There is only one trend above the Oscars, and I think it's a consensus."

He skimmed over Melvin's topic in four or two ways, and then subtly cut into today's theme, expressing his attitude and position in this way.

But the tree wants to be still and the wind does not stop.

Melvin isn't the only stylist and designer present today. In fact, the number of stylists and designers present has exceeded double digits. Even some big brands have sent senior stylists to the scene, on the one hand to help Renly choose dresses; on the other hand, they can keep abreast of Renly's needs, make changes and adjustments easily, and then look forward to their dresses being selected. .

Considering Renly's position in the industry, even top brands like Burberry and Dior are no exception, not to mention those independent small designers.

Melvin and Renly exchanged a few short sentences, and the other people standing beside them also moved their steps, not completely closing the distance, but still forming a semi-circle around Renly.

Renly changed the subject, but someone next to him brought it back again, but there was not much gossip in his tone, but a hint of curiosity, "Renly, I heard about your first red carpet. Is it Melvin who is in charge? There was a little misunderstanding in that cooperation, is that really true?"

In normal times, no one would bother Renly with such petty gossip; but now that Renly is surrounded by stylists and designers, the situation is naturally different.

Renly could clearly sense that the pair of scorching gazes were projected over the fashion circle. Did something happen that he didn't know about? Why is everyone so urgent and gossiping? In all kinds of eyes, there are good intentions and bad intentions, positive and negative, and everyone feels very excited.

What Renly doesn't know is that, aside from Eaton Dormer, Melvin is the only stylist in the fashion world who can be directly linked to Renly, and that's why his career has flourished. curious. Of course, there is no lack of malicious jealousy, just want to see how Renly responds, is he willing to endorse Melvin

Before Renly could look around, Melvin couldn't help but said, "It was just a short-term cooperation. In the end, I just gave some opinions, mainly Renly's own decision, he I have my own knowledge and opinions on fashion and suits. I'm just a supporter."

This is a set of rhetoric that has been repeated hundreds of times. Every time this topic is brought up, it is answered in this way. Even Melvin himself almost believes that this is the truth. The same lie, repeated a hundred times, it It has become real.

But Melvin could feel Renly's gaze, a gaze with no warmth or emotion. It was obviously calm and calm, but he started to soften his mouth as he spoke. That uncontrollable guilty conscience made him start panic.
