Section 85 Fashion Week (6)
Ai Fei was very worried about this kind of promotion method. However, Henry's words had already been spoken, and it was too late to take them back. He had to stand there with a smile and let the reporter take photos and ask questions. However, the questions asked this time had begun to deviate from the track that should be tonight and instead revolved around his original works.
This situation is definitely not what he wants to see. After waiting for everyone's questions to calm down for a while, he stretched out his hand and pressed it: "Gentlemen? Gentlemen! I hope my past experience will not be the reason for changing the topic tonight. If you are interested, I don't mind finding another time to answer your questions, but now, let's focus on the performance tonight, okay?"
Hearing him speak like this, the reporters no longer asked about this question, but instead asked about the performance tonight according to his request: "Mr. Ike, do you think that a person's ability can complete such a large-scale, and unprecedented week-long fashion show performance? I am in the design and production of costumes, and a large number of people are responsible for it, right?"
"This is for sure." Ai Feiyu glared at Henry with anger and giggled and giggled: "The shortage of manpower is the biggest problem I am facing now. However, if I just arrange and perform such a show, I can still deal with it. However, for future development, I think it is necessary to use the pen of a reporter friend to appeal. Anyone who is willing to develop in the fashion industry and designer fields will welcome them to join my company."
"More people? You mean, are you going to expand your production?"
"Yes." Ai Fei stared at the reporter who asked the question: "For me, the so-called clothing industry is just a part of the development process of the fashion industry. Of course, it is a very important part, but not an absolute factor. If it goes well, I will enter a broader field soon and contribute my strength to the development of the fashion industry. Of course, this also requires the participation and efforts of many aspiring people."
"Mr. Ike, can you ask a question about the model?"
"sure."
"Many of us have noticed that when a thin female model takes the stage, you always arrange for her to appear alone at the display site, rather than appearing with two people as units like other models. Is this what you deliberately arranged? Why?"
"Yes, this is my deliberate arrangement. I can introduce it to you..." He waved to the distance, and Gloria was still wearing the black long dress she last wore during the fashion show - this is another exception. You must know that other models only appeared as a medium for launching clothing - such a costume also made her a favorite among men. However, during the cocktail party, no less than five men showed their respect to her. However, they were all rejected by her.
When Gloria walked around in front of her, Ai Fei smiled and introduced to everyone: "Gentlemen, I am honored to introduce to you the only contracted model of Ike's company so far, and it is also the super model you will hear from Jingchao for a long time in the future. At the same time, it is also the extremely beautiful Miss Gloria Paston."
Under a bright spotlight, Gloria asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Supermodel?"
"Don't talk for now." Ai Fei answered in an equally small voice, with a smile on his face and allowed the reporter to take a photo.
Not only did Gloria have such doubts, but the reporters also had the same doubts: "Mr. Ike, were you talking about supermodels just now?"
"Yes. Supermodel!" Ai Fei smiled: "The biggest difference with ordinary models is that an attribution is added to their professional synonyms."
"Haha..." The crowd chuckled.
"Okay, I admit that I'm joking." Ai Fei is no longer funny: "Gentlemen, the so-called supermodels are definitely not as simple as I just mentioned. In addition to the differences in titles, they also have differences in terms of demeanor, makeup, temperament, and body. To put it simply, I personally think that as a special medium for promoting clothing, models should, more often, show their identity as spokespersons of different brands in life, and promote the products and endorsement brands through their own display in life."
"Mr. Ike, according to your understanding, can you think that the model should also maintain the dignity and temperament of being on the stage in life?"
"I personally agree with another statement, that is, there are fashion everywhere in life. For me, fashion is definitely not just about models wearing the latest fashion clothes on the stage. Everyone, no matter how old she is, can be linked to fashion. Of course, perhaps this statement is only at the theoretical stage for the time being, but I believe that in the near future, more and more people will agree with my point of view."
"Mr. Ike?"
"Sorry, gentlemen, our fashion show will continue tomorrow, and I should have arranged for the staff to go home and rest. So, the last question."
"Mr. Ike, can you introduce to us your colleagues, especially Ms. Iko Yumiya, who is full of oriental charm?"
Amid the crowd of laughter, Ai Fei turned around: "I think Ms. Yugong will answer this question by herself, right? Yugongjun?"
Yugong Jingzi was stunned for a moment. For many years, she seemed to have become accustomed to being the pusher behind Ai Fei. Why is it now...? Without thinking too much, she stepped forward slowly: "Hi!"
"So, gentlemen, if you have any questions, you can ask my assistant directly. Oh, by the way, because of language, I hope everyone can slow down their speech when asking questions. If allowed, I will lose my companion."
"Ms. Yumiya?" Compared to Ai Fei, Yumiya Jingko attracted more attention from Americans: she looks so gentle! Such a woman seems to be rarely seen in the United States! For a moment, various questions were thrown at her, which made Yumiya Jingko nervous and her face turned red. However, this shy expression made these reporters come to the fore. Not only did they not let her go because of this, but instead raised more questions.
Yugong Jingzi answered the reporter's question here without mentioning it. Ai Fei walked closer to Henry: "Henry, what are you doing?"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Henry said hello to him calmly with a Japanese bow. After straightening up, he smiled bitterly: "Is the culture of oriental people always worthy of in-depth study?"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Although he was full of resentment at his speech, Ai Fei still saluted respectfully: "What are you talking about?"
"Although I have returned to the United States, I still maintain the usual oriental etiquette and habits in my life. What do you think is going on?"
"This is because a country like you has only a short history of many years!" Ai Fei said viciously: "Answer my question?"
"Little Ai Jun." Henry suddenly changed into Japanese and spoke. Ai Fei was stunned, but the latter seemed to not pay attention to his surprise and continued: "Do you still remember what you promised back then?"
“Eh?”
"You once promised me to create a comic that is suitable for Americans to appreciate. Although "Crayon Shin-chan" and some text works appear, you also know that Americans buy your works only because of some interest in Orientals and Eastern countries. When they gradually become familiar with this comic that brings them a novel feeling, they will gradually give up your books."
"so what?"
"So, I still hope you can continue to do works that have promised me, which suits Americans appreciate. I mean, purely works that Westerners like and are used to accepting."
Ai Fei thought for a while: "Henry, do you think it is appropriate to talk about such a topic on such an occasion? Needless to say, do I have time to do such a creation now, but just on such an occasion?"
"Ike..." Henry burst out laughing: "Why do you think I'm telling a lot of people about your identity as a cartoonist at such a moment?"
"Sorry, what did you say?"
"Ike, I'm increasingly finding that I'm willing to live in Japan. The reason is actually very simple. I like the relaxed atmosphere there. Of course, it's just the relaxed atmosphere for an American like me. Here... I feel a lot of pressure."
“…”
"The International News Department is a very important department in the newspaper. It reports and answers calls, telegrams, and news releases from all over the world every day. Moreover, because of some inconvenience in communications, the news that my colleagues and I can get has become old news! For example, Japan is preparing to set up its own airline, I am getting telegrams sent back from a reporter station in Japan, and then writing them according to my own understanding and understanding of Japan. You should also know how many mistakes and omissions are in the details."
"so what?"
Henry glanced at him strangely and continued to talk about his own problem: "Not only will you encounter such problems at work, but in my working environment, you can't imagine how fierce the competition is. Even my position as a senior editor in the International News Department may make corresponding adjustments. So, Xiao Aijun..." He changed into Japanese and talked: "I need your help."
"Of course." Ai Fei gave him a positive answer without hesitation: "What do you want me to do?"
"The first is to accept an exclusive interview from me."
"no problem."
"Xiao Aijun, you are a good card in my hand, and I don't want to waste it. So, I hope to give you a comprehensive interview with your work and experience over the past few years. To be honest, I have only heard a lot of news about you by Fuji-kun or others, but the specific one is not very clear. I hope this time I can tell your story to Americans, is that okay?"
“Do you think there will be a lot of listeners who will listen to my story?”
"Of course. Of course, there will be people who are willing to listen!" Henry smiled: "Xiao Aijun, even in the United States, such a place where you can often create dreams and realize your dreams, your success, of course, I mean the success in Japan and the United States is also very interesting to many people."
"Okay, you can arrange another time."
"There's one last thing. Can you pick up the comic creation that you've been temporarily put down?"
