Chapter 188 Embroider a new world

The film festival event was very grand. In Tao Tiantian's words, this was a grand event for filmmakers.

There are many big names who have won awards for Best Actor and Best Actor Awards. Even Tao Qiqi, who is used to seeing the world, can't help but become nervous.

However, Tao Tiantian and the others are actors after all, and it is already a professional habit to show themselves when facing the camera and are very generous.

In such occasions, wearing bright Hanfu, especially the recently controversial horse-faced skirt, they should also show their temperament.

Graceful and luxurious, rich woman from the Ming Dynasty.

Around them, there are also a group of male actors.

When Pu Xiuxiu saw them trying on clothes, she sighed: "It's still Hanfu, look at how princes they wear, and how rich and powerful they are!"

This time, there was also an MJ spokesperson, wearing their super-season show styles, and the order of walking on the red carpet was right in front of Tao Tiantian and the crew, as if they were deliberately provoking.

However, Chinese filmmakers are always just showing themselves and don’t have to be led by others.

Media from China also used sharp words when interviewing MJ spokespersons. Therefore, before Pu Xiuxiu went to interview, Jiang Chunyu also specifically reminded her: "Foreign media may be attacked by language, so be mentally prepared."

"In 1911, Xiangxiu won the 'best award' at the Italian 'Dulang Expo'."

"In 1915, Hunan Embroidery also won the first prize at the Panama World Expo in San Francisco, USA."

"In 1933, at the Chicago Centennial Progress Expo, the embroidered image of Hunan embroidery "President Roosevelt" became a great wonder of the expo and caused a sensation."

Their era has just begun.

Pu Xiuxiu did not follow her words, but also took it with jokes, but said very seriously: "I am from Xiangxiu, and my main job is Xiangxiu. Sometimes necessary publicity must be coordinated, but I cannot devote more time and energy to it. This is putting the cart before the horse."

"Xiang is the abbreviation of Hunan. Our Hunan has produced a great leader who is eye-catching and respected all over the world. I believe you all know that our Hunan embroidery of course has a long historical origin. The Warring States embroidery fragments excavated in the Chu Tomb of Changsha Martyrs Park and the large number of Han embroidery treasures unearthed from the Han Tomb of Mawangdui are clearly showing us the prosperous scene of the high development of embroidery art in the Hunan-Chu area more than two thousand years ago. By the end of the 19th century, China's natural economic foundation was increasingly disintegrated, and the society's demand for commodity production was growing. The development of the embroidery industry appeared in the changes in the social and economic structure. Hunan woman Li Yihui summarized and improved needle embroidery. This type of embroidery was widely favored as soon as it was released and gradually called the title of "Xiang Embroidery".

Pu Xiuxiu took a deep breath and stepped out bravely.

"Handmade embroidery has its own power. In the process of production, it expands the power of people. Through stitches and threads from human hands, it creates warmth and soul, replicates the traces of the rings, and possesses the rich emotions and precious years that the embroiderer has given her. At the same time, the works have also been imprinted with the marks of history and society. The embroidery characteristics of each region are related to the history and culture of the region. What we see is not just a series of embroidery works, but a regional style painting full of embroiderer emotions, a delicate interpretation of the infinite love of the country and hometown, and a respect for ancestors and a cherishment of the owners of the work."

"In 1910, Xiangxiu embroidery made its mark at the Nanyang Quye Association in Nanjing. According to the "A Brief Investigation of the Nanyang Quye Association" published at that time, the figures of Xiangxiu embroidery were "very vivid", and the freehand landscapes were "dirty and moist, and the ink was moist, and the brush and ink were not traced. If you don't examine it, you don't know that it is an embroidered painting. The small running script has a screen with a plaid and a hairpin, and the needle and thread are destroyed."

Pu Xiuxiu was actually very grateful to him for his question: "Although I do not agree with the speculation on your question, I am very grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to correct the name of hand embroidery at this time."

There are also many TV stations’ program invitations, and Chen Yue also joked with Pu Xiuxiu: “Sister Xiuxiu, should I hire an agent?”

"Of course there are reasons for this, but more importantly, the concept that my husband and I have always adhered to is that if you don't try hard to make good things from the Chinese, how can you ask others to pay attention to them?"

A reporter chased them and asked, "Mr. Jiang, will you plan your honeymoon trip with Mrs. Jiang next?"

"As far as I know, the history of Xiangxiu's existence is not that long. How do you define Xiangxiu's status in your China?"

Next is the time to look at the embroidery.

Finally, before they got on the car, there was an persistent media chasing him: "The last question, Ms. Pu, what is your focus for the next work?"

Jiang Chunqian smiled and shook his head: "Ms. Pu's new embroidery has been put on the agenda. I don't have time to accompany me on my honeymoon trip, so I have to stay with her."

Pu Xiuxiu's answers and introductions that were neither humble nor arrogant were exploded on major domestic social platforms that day.

"In 1935, at the Hangzhou 'West Lake Expo', Xiangxiu won the 'only commendation' and was known as the 'needle'."

There are already many media guarding the airport when they return to China. Most of them must be for the actors in the crew, but many media are more concerned about the perfect appearance of Xiangxiu when she went abroad.

Pu Xiuxiu smiled and said, "You can't wait for all good things to be plagiarized before jumping out to swear sovereignty, right?"

At this time, foreign media also began to ask: "Ms. Pu, embroidery is of course a good thing, but Western industry is developing rapidly. Machine embroidery was invented many years ago. In your opinion, hand embroidery with such slow speed still has the meaning of existence? Or is it just a living tool for you, the group of intangible cultural heritage inheritors to survive?"

What's more, the brand effect has been formed now. Whether it is the crew's collective appearance at the international film festival or her interviews and answers at the film festival, it is a good start.

This time, the effect of "dealing for the country" was obviously very good.

"At the French 'Lyon Tournament', French audience praised Hunan embroidery artists as 'god hands'."

Pu Xiuxiu finally concluded: "Xiangxiu has a status not only in China, but also in the world. If you are interested, you are welcome to visit our embroidery at the exhibition. You are also welcome to go to China and come to Hunan. You can also visit how our Hunan embroidery artists complete an embroidery piece."

The Chinese media burst into laughter.

Jiang Chunyan also has his ambitions, and the cooperation between Xiangxiufang and Xiuchunguang will continue.

"Ms. Pu, Mrs. Jiang, your wedding with Mr. Jiang was broadcast live, and then a documentary was posted on social media. Are you choosing the Hanfu wedding to cooperate with product promotion?"

Pu Xiuxiu embroidered before the car window, and finally replied to him: "Of course it is - embroidering a new world."

Whether it is to continue to complete new embroidery, next we can seize every opportunity to showcase new embroidery at major international shows, film festivals or other large-scale events, or combine it with traditional clothing to promote our traditional culture around the world, or cultivate more Hunan embroidery artists to continue to pass on this intangible cultural heritage. In the final analysis, it is this sentence-

Embroider a new world.

Their story has just begun, and there is a broader world in the future, waiting for them.
