Chapter 282 Before the Canton Fair Preparation
In the dormitory of Beijing Film Academy, several people were busy packing their luggage.
At this time, the dormitory door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and Chen Kaige walked in. He saw Zhang Yimou sorting his clothes at a glance.
He asked, "Yimou, are you going to Guangzhou tomorrow?"
Zhang Yimou kept moving his hands, putting the folded clothes into the box, raised his head, and replied with a smile:
"Well, President Jiang has already bought the tickets for us, and we have also successfully applied for leave!"
Chen Kaige heard this and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes. He sighed and said, "I really envy you for being able to go to Guangzhou to attend the Canton Fair!
This is a rare opportunity to see a grand spectacle. There is also a chance to visit Guangzhou again! "
Zhang Yimou stopped what he was doing, looked at Chen Kaige seriously, and explained: "We are going to work!
Don't just think about having fun, you have a mission to accomplish what President Jiang has asked you to do."
"I also really want to go to Guangzhou to see the world and broaden my horizons, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity. I can only watch you go there."
Zhang Yimou looked at Chen Kaige thoughtfully, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. He walked up and patted him on the shoulder.
He suggested: "Why don't you come to Qingdao Publishing House! I can see that President Jiang admires you very much. The last time you two chatted,
I saw how happy they were talking. If you're willing, tell President Jiang and I guarantee he'll be happy to take you to Guangzhou to broaden your horizons!"
After hearing this, Chen Kaige shook his head without any hesitation and refused firmly, "That won't do.
After graduation, I will definitely return to my previous film studio. They have nurtured me all the way and have high hopes for me.
I can't live up to this kindness. Although President Jiang and I do get along very well and have a very pleasant chat, some things are just not meant to be.
I already have a clear direction in my mind, and I have to go back to my old unit and continue to work hard. "
When Zhang Yimou and the other two heard this, they looked at each other knowingly, raised the corners of their mouths, and nodded with a smile.
Zhang Yimou said straightforwardly: "Okay, I understand your choice.
When we come back from Guangzhou, we will definitely bring you some local specialties so you can have a taste of Guangzhou!"
After packing their luggage, Zhang Yimou and his two companions, together with the clothing display staff from Qingdao Publishing House, set off for Guangzhou.
This clothing exhibition is of extraordinary significance. President Jiang Weimin has made many thorough preparations to ensure its smooth conduct.
He arranged for someone to conduct detailed and comprehensive reporting with the relevant responsible parties of the Canton Fair in advance.
After much coordination and communication, it was finally decided to hold this exhibition on the last two days of the Canton Fair.
After arriving in Guangzhou, Zhang Yimou and his two companions ignored the fatigue of the journey and immediately threw themselves into the intense preparations.
Stage construction is the basic project of the entire exhibition. Zhang Yimou personally directed the event on site, and together with the staff, he strictly checked the splicing of every wooden board and the stability of every bracket.
The layout of the stage is carefully considered, striving to ensure that the costume designers can have the most perfect movement and display effects when displaying the costumes.
The three of them racked their brains when choosing the camera position, lighting and music.
They repeatedly surveyed the spatial structure of the banquet hall and determined the best camera settings based on different display areas, just to capture every wonderful moment of the models.
In terms of lighting, Zhang Yimou relied on his unique understanding of light and shadow to carefully mix different tones and brightness, making them either bright and eye-catching to highlight the details and texture of the clothing, or soft and warm to create a romantic atmosphere.
The selection of music was also done with great care. They screened from a large number of tracks and matched them with melodies that matched the style of the clothes, which were sometimes passionate and enthusiastic, and sometimes melodious and soothing.
The camera used in this exhibition is a professional equipment purchased by Qingdao Publishing House a long time ago.
In this era, being a director requires not only outstanding artistic creation ability, but also proficiency in photography technology is a necessary skill.
Therefore, the responsibility of photography naturally fell on the shoulders of Zhang Yimou and the other two.
They operated the cameras skillfully and adjusted various parameters. With their solid photography skills and rich experience, they were fully prepared for the video recording of the exhibition.
Zhang Yimou and the other two knew very well that this photo shoot was not only a record of the exhibition, but also an opportunity to showcase the strength and image of Qingdao Publishing House.
The Canton Fair opened grandly amid everyone's anticipation.
The exhibition hall was crowded with businessmen from home and abroad walking around, searching for business opportunities and surprises at each booth.
When they passed by the Qingdao clothing booth, they were surprised to see that there were no new clothes on the booth.
Some foreign businessmen frowned and whispered to each other, expressing their doubts in not very fluent Chinese or English;
Domestic businessmen also shook their heads and whispered, seeming to be puzzled by Qingdao Garment's performance this time.
However, the reason has been explained in detail on the eye-catching poster at the clothing display stand: a clothing display conference will be held in the last two days of the Canton Fair.
Moreover, Jiang Weimin had already arranged for someone to send a telegram to the clothing manufacturers he frequently cooperated with, informing them of the news.
Among the many businessmen who came to inquire, there was a smaller clothing manufacturer.
Over the years, every time he attended the Canton Fair, he would make a special trip to the Qingdao Publishing House's exhibition area.
In the past, the clothes he purchased from Qingdao Garment Factory were very popular in the market, and he could make a considerable profit every time.
So, he came here with great expectations this time, but when he saw that there were no new styles of clothes at the Qingdao clothing booth, he was full of doubts.
He walked quickly to the booth and asked the booth staff in English, with obvious confusion in his tone: "Hello, why didn't your clothing factory design the latest style of clothes this time?"
The staff member standing in front of the booth at this moment is Jiang Weimin’s classmate at Tsinghua University, who is taking this opportunity to do an internship.
In response to the manufacturer's inquiry, he immediately showed a polite and enthusiastic smile on his face and replied calmly:
"This time our Qingdao Garment Factory will hold a clothing exhibition in the banquet hall of Guangzhou Hotel. If you are interested, you can go and participate.
If you are interested in the clothing, we will have someone to contact you!"
After that, he handed over an invitation with both hands, his movements elegant and proper.
The clothing manufacturer took the invitation with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
He carefully looked at the invitation letter written in English and read it word by word. The confusion on his face was gradually replaced by understanding and expectation.
After reading it, he nodded slightly and praised: "So that's how it is, a very innovative activity! I will participate, I especially like the clothes you designed."
“Thank you for your love. We have been committed to promoting our clothing brand to the world. We believe that this exhibition will definitely bring you different surprises.”
The manufacturer smiled and talked to the staff for a few more words before leaving with satisfaction and continuing to look for other business opportunities at the Canton Fair.
In his heart, he had already begun looking forward to the clothing show to be held by the Qingdao Garment Factory in the banquet hall of the Guangzhou Hotel.
