Chapter 655 The Stars Shine Tonight
If you have never experienced more than ten hours of flight time, then the eight-hour journey is indeed hard enough.
But right now, it's just okay.
Lin Qingyuan glanced at the time on the upper left corner of the phone, and found that it had been automatically adjusted to the Eastern time zone of the United States.
It landed at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it is now in the early twelve o'clock.
That is to say, after Lin Qingyuan finished eating the lunch provided by the crew, and then went to the toilet to take care of his image for the media to publish pictures, he could almost land in New York.
Getting up to drain the water, Lin Qingyuan asked casually when passing by the little assistant's seat, "Is there anyone picking up the plane?"
"Huh? Boss, are you awake?" The little assistant rubbed her eyes, and when she regained consciousness and realized what Lin Qingyuan asked just now, she immediately changed her face and showed excitement, "Boss, you finally got the hang of it! In this way, a big star must have the pomp of a big star!"
Lin Qingyuan curled her lips: "No, what I mean is that if someone picks up the plane, then I will touch up my makeup and take care of myself later, if there is no one, then just wear a mask and get in the car and leave without wasting time. "
However, what the little assistant said was fine. At certain times, in order to avoid trouble and reduce uncertainty, Lin Qingyuan was indeed a little too low-key.
This is probably a good thing for him and his team, because it can reduce the workload, but for the capital companies behind him that have invested in him and the fans who silently support him, such performance will undoubtedly make them income has been drastically reduced.
Although Lin Qingyuan's current status is completely independent of others, and he can do whatever he wants as long as the rules allow, but this is a society of human feelings after all.
So it's not a bad idea to be coerced for a while, just treat it as a gift to them in return.
"Someone, just like London, it's mainly a support activity spontaneously organized by Asian students studying abroad." The little assistant shook her phone. She has accurate information channels in New York and understands the operation of the local fan support club, so she naturally knows if there is one. Someone came to pick up the plane.
"Okay." Lin Qingyuan took a sip of mineral water.
+1 for unnecessary work, a little annoying.
"By the way, Boss, you and Cheng Xiao were photographed by the BBC this time and became popular in many countries. What should you do if you are photographed again next time you are with other people?" The little assistant was half curious and half kindly reminded. asked.
"If it's a domestic media, let's see if it can be bought out. If it's a foreign mainstream news media like the BBC." Lin Qingyuan shrugged, and his tone was a little helpless: "Then we can only keep silent."
"The consequences of abandoning all my girlfriend fans are acceptable, but at least I can't bear the consequences of being attacked by social morality at this stage." Lin Qingyuan smiled, "It will probably take a while to get better to offset this negative impact.”
To put it bluntly, Lin Qingyuan didn't have deep roots in domestic entertainment or in Huaguo society, so when faced with certain emergencies, his confidence would be slightly lacking.
Influence needs time to slowly accumulate. After five or ten years, when Lin Qingyuan's current group of fans becomes the mainstay of society, his social status and influence will naturally rise accordingly, so remember not to Too hasty.
Giving everything to time is the best answer.
The little assistant also knew that this topic is not suitable for too much chatting, so he opened a new topic: "Then boss, do you know what news is getting the most attention on the Internet besides the matter between you and Cheng Xiao?"
"It's related to me again?" Lin Qingyuan had a bad feeling, he felt that he might be swayed again.
"Yang Mi celebrated her birthday yesterday, and more than a dozen artists in the circle sent birthday wishes, but Fanxing Xiangsong's CP fans waited all day yesterday but didn't get your birthday wishes, so they started talking about gossip today."
From 2018 to 2020, Lin Qingyuan sent birthday wishes to Yang Mi for three consecutive years, but this year it can be said to be cut off suddenly "without warning".
Combined with the rumors that the top-ranking friends were all exposed by the gossip marketing account some time ago, many people thought they had discovered the truth of the matter, that is, the starry-eyed Song Dynasty broke up.
Interestingly, Fanxing Xiangsong's CP fans did not send birthday wishes to Lin Qingyuan for Yang Mi's birthday.
Although there are different opinions, but after careful observation, it can be found that most of the fans are actually Yang Mi's side.
After all, Yang Mi sent Lin Qingyuan birthday wishes in May this year, but Lin Qingyuan didn't send Yang Mi a present.
So this must be Lin Qingyuan's problem.
From "It's difficult for people who don't like the stars and Song Dynasty" to "They must have been together in private" to "The younger brother has entered the rebellious period and will not send birthday wishes to the older sister".
Their understanding is so simple and pure, and because of this, they are easy to be brainwashed and manipulated by marketing.
"What did they mainly discuss?"
"Just picking up all kinds of rumors about the two of you before, but I read that they are all speculations."
"Heh, how could they find evidence?" Lin Qingyuan chuckled, he and Yang Mi had hardly met each other in private, so the paparazzi naturally had no room to play.
"You will only meet in the hotel room, right?" The little assistant gave Lin Qingyuan a narrow look, and then said meaningfully: "But I found that there seem to be a lot of drafts on this matter, and it doesn't feel like natural enthusiasm."
"It's normal. After all, they are now in a critical period of transformation, and they need to be exposed to maintain their popularity. They also happen to be single, so they are not afraid of goingssip with the opposite sex. Therefore, it is definitely more beneficial than harmful to use this matter for bundling marketing." Lin Qingyuan shrugged. Doesn't seem to care about it.
After all, the entertainment industry is like this. One second they are friends, and the next second they may become enemies because of something. It is very difficult to meet friends who can really talk to each other.
However, he can change his attitude so quickly and squeeze out the last bit of value remaining in their relationship to bring him visual benefits.
Should it be said that he is worthy of being a beloved idol?
This has taught him a good lesson.
Lin Qingyuan and his party landed at Newark International Airport in New York at 9:13 pm on September [-], US time.
Under the mutual escort of the security personnel, Lin Qingyuan briefly interacted with the fans who came to the airport to pick up and support them for a few minutes, and then drove to the hotel to start the one-stop preparation process of "makeup, fitting, photos, and pictures" before the party.
After half an hour's drive, Lin Qingyuan arrived at the Baroque-style landmark building, the St. Regis Hotel in New York.
The bloody mary, a cocktail that is popular all over the world, was invented in the King Cole Bar in this hotel.
The famous movie "The Devil Wears Prada" was also filmed in this hotel.
Correspondingly, the price is relatively high.
However, Lin Qingyuan was not short of money, so he naturally did not have the opportunity to experience the racial discrimination of the people on the east coast.
After checking in, the shooting officially started.
That's right, the organizer of the Met Gala sent a behind-the-scenes filming team to follow Lin Qingyuan throughout the process, recording his every move before participating in the Met Gala.
In fact, only 28 of the [-] invited guests of Met Gala this year are eligible to shoot the promotional video of VOGUE globally in the museum.
Only ten of them were qualified to shoot GRWM behind-the-scenes videos, and Lin Qingyuan participated in both of them, which is the proof of his status and influence in the global fashion industry.
"This is the first time I participated in the Met, so from the moment I landed, I was very excited and couldn't wait, and I don't know if it's because of psychological factors, I feel like it's still a little hot today?"
"Wait, 87 degrees Fahrenheit?! It's got to be 30 degrees Celsius. I just came from London and it's only in the early [-]s during the day, so you know, it might take me a while to get used to it in New York." Warm weather and passionate fans."
"Yes, LV, Bulgari, Piaget, and Lu Platinum have all provided me with a lot of help and support. They have been my good friends over the years, so I believe there will be a good debut tonight."
"It's almost two o'clock, but I still haven't started styling, I hope I won't be late tonight, but I don't need to wear heavy skirts and beautiful accessories like those beautiful ladies, otherwise I'm really worried. Will screw up my first Met in my life"
"The person I'm looking forward to seeing? In fact, I was chatting with Jbee, Kendall and Rose about 2 minutes ago on the way here. Right, Rose from BLACKPINK, I met her through the recording program, they are tonight Will be at the Met too, so I'm looking forward to seeing them tonight."
After saying a lot of courteous words to the camera, the next fitting time involves the specific work content and Lin Qingyuan's personal privacy, so Lin Qingyuan's team has the right to ask the film crew to temporarily stop shooting.
"This year's Met Gala is mainly jointly promoted and operated by American Vogue and British Vogue, and you happen to be the cover character of British Vogue's October issue, so you will get more shots and publicity resources."
"The costumes and accessories have also been delivered ahead of time. LV Bulgari and the others are very fond of your appearance at the Met Gala, so all the top-level costumes are sent over. We hurry up and try to try them all and choose as much as possible. The best combination of visual effects."
"And before the fitting, we made the renderings in advance, you can take a look at them first." Yan Jun took out a booklet from his briefcase and handed it to Lin Qingyuan.
Lin Qingyuan flipped through a few pages, and it was nothing more than a pseudo-makeup photo composed of the model's first draft and PS.
The first set is a very conventional red carpet suit look.
The second set has a retro feel, the visual impact is not strong and it will not overwhelm the guests, and it mainly highlights the appearance.
The third set is an angel?It's so holy. But it feels a little exaggerated, and the whole body effect should look quite ordinary, only suitable for shooting the upper body.
The fourth set is even more exaggerated, golden wings, is this the golden-winged roc in COS Shituoling?Lin Qingyuan feels that such clothes are only suitable for shooting magazines.
The fifth set took the line of a beautiful Greek boy, but Lin Qingyuan felt that the effect of wearing this outfit for a native oriental person should not be very suitable.
Then the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth set
"Why do I feel that the looks prepared by the team look like I am attending a party in fancy dress?"
Yan Jun raised his eyebrows: "Isn't Met Gala just a group of people wearing fancy costumes and playing cosplay? Don't be surprised no matter what strange outfits you see tonight, because this is a tradition they have passed down, and this is what they see. fashion in
"Okay, let's try on the clothes first, but I personally don't like clothes that are too exaggerated. The few times I walked for LV before are already shameful enough. My sense of belief is not enough to support me to calmly say Wear these clothes and go out to show people."
"You mean that you don't consider those outfits that are rarely seen on weekdays but look scary?" Yan Jun asked.
Lin Qingyuan nodded: "I still prefer more normal clothes. I don't feel that I really need to rely on these gimmicks to attract people. It's better to be conservative when I debut at the Met Gala, so try the first one first. And the second set."
"Well, after all, you are the boss!"
Lin Qingyuan seemed to see a trace of pity in Yan Jun's eyes, and he didn't know if it was his illusion.
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Lin Qingyuan departed from the hotel at 05:30 in the afternoon and arrived at the venue where the Met Gala was held.
Under the command of the on-site security personnel, the commercial vehicle slowly parked on the side of the road not far from the beginning of the red carpet.
"There are so many people outside! It feels like the road is about to be blocked." The little assistant looked at the crowded and lively scene outside through the car window, and couldn't help but sigh.
"There are so many celebrities here tonight, they must all want to come and watch the excitement." Lin Qingyuan followed suit and looked out the window. There were indeed a lot of onlookers on both sides of the road, and he even saw quite a few of his supporters.
"Yes, this event is equivalent to the annual fashion festival held by those fashion magazines in China, and it is the most advanced kind." The little assistant nodded excitedly.
"Fortunately, the Met usually doesn't do anything to tear up the finale, otherwise I'm afraid there will be a good show tonight."
Frankly speaking, Lin Qingyuan feels a bit regretful, after all, it is true that American stars are torn apart, it is a pity that it is rare to come to the United States but not be able to see the live version.
"Emperor, are you ready? We can get out of the car and enter the arena now. We will go to the waiting area to wait for a while, and then board the red carpet one by one." The staff following the car received instructions in the headset.
It is worth mentioning that he actually called Lin Qingyuan directly in English as the emperor, which made Lin Qingyuan a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it.
After all, many artists have code names, at most, his nickname is a little bit awesome.
"Something in this liquor got me doing things that I don't do"
Lin Qingyuan took off the bluetooth headset that was playing music, looked up out of the window, and found that the channel that was crowded with people had been cleared now.
This is obviously a clearing treatment that only big names can enjoy, just to prevent the appearance from being leaked in advance.
"Why did I feel that the world has changed just after I took off the earphones?" Lin Qingyuan felt that he was respected and was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but joked.
"After all, this is the emperor's first show at the Met, so of course it deserves all the preferential treatment." The staff also laughed.
"Hopefully it won't be my farewell gig."
"You can be kidding man, the Met isn't big enough to reject a star of your caliber"
In the eyes of this white man, Lin Qingyuan is a super handsome guy who can make people call amazing.
He doesn't think about so many political factors that have nothing to do with ordinary people's lives. The only thing he knows is:
Lin Qingyuan, a young Asian, has an image and temperament that is full of praise from European and American whites, and he is very famous and influential in the fashion industry. He is an existence that these workers need to take seriously.
And this is enough.
