Ji Mingshu finished biting the remaining half of the ice cream, his mouth swelled into a small puffer fish, shivering from the cold while looking at his phone, hurried back to the apartment.
Cen Sen was sitting in the car, his gaze following her slowly. It wasn't until she entered the building that she looked back slightly and got out of the car.
He leaned against the side of the car, looked up at a small window on the upper floor and saw a faint halo light up again, and suddenly remembered Ji Mingshu sitting on the stone bench and eating oden in a serious manner just now, his eyes darkened unconsciously.
His canary seemed to have quietly opened the cage and poked its head around the door.
Ji Mingshu had already forgotten about the strange feeling at that moment, and when she returned to the apartment, she rubbed her hands and touched her arms, shivering uncontrollably.
But she is in good spirits at the moment, put on a coat and sat back in front of the computer, secretly put on Gu Kaiyang's black-rimmed glasses, and soon entered the working state.
Chrischou was born in a small southern city, his father was a painter, and his mother was a very famous Shanghai socialite at the end of the last century. But the man became famous in his middle age, his net worth soared, and his paintings sold well both at home and abroad. In the Sotheby's autumn auction in the 1990s, his painting "Paper Drunk and Gold Love" once sold for a sky-high price of nearly 10 million.
So when Chrischou was in his early teens, his father immigrated to LA with his family for long-term development.
Today, their family has indeed become a well-known existence in the Chinese circle in North America.
Chrischou himself is also very good, he can be regarded as the most shining new star in the fashion circle in recent years.
He is a typical academic designer. He graduated from Parsons. During his school days, he worked as an intern at the luxury brand of lvmh group and the most authoritative fashion magazine in the United States. After graduation, he joined lvmh group and later resigned to create chirschou The brand opened its show at New York Fashion Week in the second year, and its follow-up shows were held at the four major fashion weeks.
The color-block T-shirts he designed exploded on FB and Instagram in the first two years, and almost every trendy fashion blogger at home and abroad has one. In the annual fashion selection, his color block t was basically rated as the most popular street photography item, and Ji Mingshu also directly won the entire series at that time.
This time he returned to China to open the show, because organizations such as the clothing design association strongly invited him, and provided various sponsors and supports. And he himself believes that the design works of this season need to be presented in the soil where he lived in his childhood to achieve the most appropriate effect.
Before carefully reading the relevant information, Ji Mingshu was very surprised and confused by the location of Junyihuazhang. When she went upstairs, she even had the thought of "Cen Sen arranged it".
After all, there are more than one or two places suitable for holding a show in the imperial capital, so why bother to arrange it in a hotel with a very high rent like Junyi Huazhang.
After reading the information, her doubts were relieved a lot. The relevant sponsors are rich and powerful, and their high-level executives are inextricably linked with Beijing Construction. Based on the principle of not letting the rich water flow to outsiders, it is also very reasonable to choose Jun Yihuazhang.
Moreover, the Huazhang Hotel on Huating Road has four buildings, and the glass water pavilion and lawn space in the middle are used for exhibitions. From the perspective of the site area and showroom arrangement, it is very suitable.
Available at Junyi…
Then she was a little asking for it, Cen Sen probably didn't misunderstand that she was asking for peace.
Ji Mingshu rested his chin in front of the computer and thought for a while, and finally sent a message to Chrischou.
There is no way, the opportunity is too rare, she really can't give up.
Chrischou had worked with Ji Mingshu before, and he had great confidence in her. She replied ok, but he didn't let the trial draft be finalized directly. The two chatted online for a while, and then made an appointment to meet and discuss in detail.
Before the big show is released, the designer's works are kept in a state of high secrecy, and the designer can only negotiate with her in person.
And after reading the relevant design drafts and design concepts for her, people have to take the things back.
This meeting was directly arranged at Junyi Huazhang, and Ji Mingshu had no way to refute it, because Chrischou stayed in Huazhang directly when he returned to China this time, and they had to go to see the actual location after chatting.
Before going out, Ji Mingshu anxiously changed several sets of clothes. After arriving at the hotel's executive lounge, she was also a little restless, for fear that Cen Sen would suddenly appear from a certain corner, and the two stared at each other for a long time without saying a word, directly piercing the center of the earth in embarrassment.
But it turned out that she was thinking too much.
This meeting lasted from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, and Chrischou enthusiastically stayed her at the hotel for dinner, but Cen Sen never saw anyone.
That's right, there are so many hotels under Jun Yi's banner, and the office is also in the headquarters building on weekdays, so how could he appear here by such a coincidence.
On the way back, Ji Mingshu couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved for a moment, she was not in the mood to touch up her makeup after taking off most of her lipstick.
For the whole week after that, Ji Mingshu tossed about her show plan in the apartment, and she was very ruthless and selfless in dealing with business.
Gu Kaiyang and his magazine are very concerned about Chrischou's big show, but Ji Mingshu didn't reveal any relevant news to her, the deputy editor-in-chief. .
Gu Kaiyang was so angry that he grabbed her by the neck and shook her wildly, and said that she would clean up this unscrupulous woman and leave the house.
Ji Mingshu is not afraid, because after she accepted this design, yes! money! up!
The level of clothing in China is still in a long way to be explored, especially for high-end clothing. It is not easy for Chinese designers to get Feisheng International. If someone like Chrischou can return to China to hold a show, the relevant units and organizations Natural support.
The show budget given by chirschou is as high as eight figures, and it doesn't start with a small number like one or two.
Compared with the regular external sales after the show, it can be said that the cost of opening the show is not considered.
To make a show worth eight figures, Ji Mingshu, a co-designer, is naturally paid very generously.
It's just that such a generous reward is not easy to earn.
Ji Mingshu and Chrischou worked non-stop for a whole week on the design plan alone.
After the plan is finalized and enters the stage of real scene layout, Ji Mingshu will go to the scene to personally supervise.
"No, a little to the left, a little to the left... that's enough!"
The imperial capital has entered early winter, and the outdoor wind is chilly, blowing like a cold knife cutting flesh.
Although Ji Mingshu is not a female star, she has already cultivated the style of a female star who requires style but not temperature. In the near-zero low temperature, she also wore a thin black dropped-shoulder sweater and a thin camel-colored trench coat over it. The slender, white and tender fingers were exposed, and the phalanges were red from the cold.
This is the fourth day in a row that she went to the Huazhang Hotel on Huating Road to direct the stage set.
Although chirschou is Chinese, his style has always been very European and American. This time he rarely added cheongsam and Suzhou embroidery elements in his works. One is to cater to the huge Chinese market commercially besides design, and the other is to Surprise his mother for her birthday.
His mother has lived in Shanghai for many years and loved all kinds of cheongsams when she was young. His early spring works this season can also be said to be a gift to his mother.
Knowing that his parents have loved each other for many years, Ji Mingshu specially found his father's painting album to ponder before deciding on the theme of the show.
The final theme of "Golden Love" is Ying and his father's most famous oil painting of the same name.
The main show, Ji Mingshu, was designed as a stranded ship in the old Shanghai period. The original waterside pavilion and piano ladder in the hotel were preserved, processed slightly, and the staggered layers interacted all the way to the top of the ship. Walking main runway.
In addition, in order to create an immersive sensory experience for the audience, Ji Mingshu also collaborated with chirschou to design an immersive video art installation with the same name as the theme of the show, creating a fully enclosed visual space outside Junyi.
Ji Mingshu also worked hard on the lighting. In order to achieve the gorgeous effect in the design draft and highlight the theme of the show, a series of lighting decorations were specially ordered from a foreign lighting designer and shipped back to China by air. These lighting sets alone cost a few dollars. million dollars.
At this moment, Ji Mingshu is also directing the lighting arrangement. These things are extremely precious, and there is no room for any mistakes. She also doesn't allow things that cost a lot of money not to be placed in their proper positions.
"Change from a1 to a4. The position of c1 is wrong. It's not accurate at all. Please reinstall it." Standing in the cold wind, she commanded. Seeing that the worker didn't pretend to be correct for a long time, she had to go forward, "Here, yes, Yes, a little bit to the left."
Seeing that she was in the right position, she took two steps back to look around.
Before she could nod in satisfaction, the worker's expression suddenly turned terrified, "Be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, the place where Ji Mingshu was standing made the sound of the crystal lamp falling to the ground and shattering. After the "bang", there were dense cracks.
Immediately there was one after another exclamation at the scene!
Ji Mingshu was stunned for a moment, before he could realize what happened, someone pulled him hard.
She was wearing ten-centimeter narrow stiletto heels, and when she was pulled like that, a burst of severe pain that made her eyes black out almost simultaneously came from her ankle.
Soon there was another loud crack! But in the next second, her ears were covered, and her head was also covered in her arms.
Compared with the loud noise, what she heard more clearly was the heartbeat in her chest.
Boom, boom, boom.
Powerful and familiar.
In the bitter wind of early winter, she smelled the reassuring scent of fir trees.
Her nose was red and red from the cold, but her eyes didn't blink, as if in a daze, but also as if she was greedy.
Cen Sen's bodyguards rushed up immediately, and the executives accompanying Cen Sen on patrol also urgently called the staff to deal with the scene, and came forward to greet him.
"Boss Cen, are you alright?"
"Oh Mr. Cen, your hands are bleeding!"
"Hurry up, call an ambulance!"
Someone twisted it and shouted in a low voice: "If it didn't hit it, why call an ambulance!"
After a while, Cen Sen responded flatly: "I'm fine."
He still hugged Ji Mingshu tightly without raising his eyes.
Zhou Jiaheng stood below, calming down his heartbeat, and asked all the executives to leave with a calm appearance.
After everyone had left, Ji Mingshu came back to his senses.
She pushed gently, and Cen Sen also relaxed.
He was wearing a black woolen coat today, which made his skin almost transparent white. His hands were hanging down, blood dripping with broken glass shards fell on the deliberately old ship deck, which looked shocking.
Ji Mingshu was a little at a loss, and after a while, he remembered to untie the decorative silk scarf from the bag, and handed it to him.
He didn't answer, but stretched out his hand in front of her, his eyes flat.
Startled for a moment, she hesitantly covered the silk scarf over his wound, and then tied a knot hesitantly.
——The two finally ushered in Ji Mingshu's long-awaited awkward scene of staring at each other in silence for a long time.
She braced herself to meet Cen Sen's gaze, and after a long while, she suddenly said, "My silk scarves are so expensive."
"That... the lamp is also very expensive, what should I do if it breaks?"
After finishing speaking, Ji Mingshu closed his eyes resignedly, wanting to go back to ten seconds ago and sew his mouth shut.
But the moment she closed her eyes, a male voice suddenly sounded in front of her, "I will pay you."
The author has something to say: I will pay you for my life (doge)
