In fact, in terms of the performance itself, Zhang Ran is not better than other actors, especially actors like Wang Chao who have acted in dramas and TV series for more than ten years.

In addition to the high quality of the sketch itself, it is very important that Zhang Ran can win. In order to make the performance more realistic, he and the students were really hungry all day long. This professionalism touched the judges. The judges were all experts, but they were also emotional. Therefore, in the second round of observing characters practice, they gave Zhang Ran a shocking high score.

No matter what, Zhang Ran and the others still won the championship based on their strength, and there is no doubt about it.

However, in the individual competition the next night, Zhang Ran failed to maintain good luck. The individual competition was mainly improvised, and the reaction ability of the sketch actors and the stage experience of the drama actors played a role; Zhang Ran still had too little stage experience, so he only won fourth place in the end.

Zhang Ran did not feel sad because he had waited for the news that he had been waiting for. The Tokyo Film Organizing Committee notified him that the movie "Explosive Drummer" was shortlisted for the Tokyo Film Festival.

The Tokyo Film Festival is an international A-class film festival. The so-called A-class film festival is a competition-type non-special film festival. This kind of film festival has no restrictions on the type of film, and no matter which type of film you can sign up for. Because there are no restrictions on the A-class film festival, there are many films participating and screened, and it is a platform for filmmakers from various countries to communicate, so it has a relatively large influence.

The fantasy film festival that Zhang Ran and the others participated last time belonged to a B-type film festival and was a competition-type specialized film festival. The main ones who signed up for the competition were science fiction films, fantasy films, and horror films. Due to the genre restrictions, there were relatively few films participating in the competition and lacked big names, so the influence was relatively small.

Although the Tokyo Film Festival is far inferior to the three majors of Cannes, Berlin and Venice, as Asia's earliest and largest A-class film festival, it still has a considerable influence. Attending such a grand event must be taken seriously, otherwise it will become an international laughing stock if you are not careful. Therefore, after receiving the notice from the film festival, Zhang Ran called Zhang Jingchu and asked her to go back to Peking to solve the problem of clothing.

Zhang Jingchu didn't dare to delay the news after receiving Zhang Ran, so she told the crew and then returned to the plane back to Peking.

When she landed at the airport, Zhang Ran and Li Xiaowan were already waiting there.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Jingchu ran over in surprise when she saw Zhang Ran.

"Waiting for you!" Zhang Ran said with a smile.

Zhang Jingchu was very happy when she heard Zhang Ran say this. Did she miss me? But Zhang Ran's next words made her realize that she was thinking too much: "We have made an appointment with the fashion designer, hurry up and follow us!"

Zhang Jingchu said quietly: "Where to do it?"

"Rose House!"

After leaving the airport, he got on Rong Xinda's car. Zhang Jingchu asked in confusion: "Why do you have to make clothes? It's so wasteful? Can't you borrow it directly?"

For celebrities, if you attend small press conferences, meetings and other less important occasions, you can wear your own clothes and match them by yourself. However, you must wear a dress for important occasions like the Tokyo Film Festival. As a celebrity, you cannot wear a dress repeatedly, and you must not repeat it every time you appear on the screen, otherwise it will attract countless ridicule. It is really not worth it to spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands to buy a dress once. Therefore, celebrities’ dresses are basically borrowed.

There are roughly several ways for celebrities to borrow clothes. One is to borrow from designers. Many fashion designers have many dresses that can be loaned to actors. For example, Liu Shishi often wears Lan Yu's clothing; the second is to borrow through clothing editing or special styling studios. Several domestic first-line clothing editors such as Su Mang and Zhang Yu, as long as they do their best, there is no clothes that cannot be borrowed; the third is to directly contact the brand's public relations department and borrow this brand of dresses. Of course, only big-name stars can borrow top brands. If they are not famous enough, they cannot be borrowed.

"Of course not. We are going to a Class A film festival, with global media gathering. If you stop there, you mean China. You can't be careless!" Zhang Ran retracted his gaze outside the window, looked at Zhang Jingchu, and smiled, "There are many taboos when attending such film festivals. There are two major taboos in dressing. The first thing is that you cannot wear fake clothing. It is a trivial matter for a brand to put you on the blacklist, and more importantly, the entire fashion circle will draw a clear line with you. What is the main income of actors? Advertising and endorsement. Once the fashion circle draws a clear line with you, it will be difficult to get a top endorsement!"

The consequences of wearing celebrities and counterfeit clothing abroad are serious. For example, when Cottney Love wore counterfeit Chanel at Paris Hilton's birthday party, she was exposed, and she received dozens of calls to terminate various commercial cooperation. The situation in China is better, but it also has an impact. Liu Yifei wore counterfeit dresses, which led to poor fashion resources for a long time.

When Zhang Jingchu heard this for the first time, she asked with relish: "What is the second one?"

"The second is to pay attention to the same clothes. Why? Because as long as celebrities wear the same clothes, they will be compared. Even if they are Siqin Gaowa and Zhang Ziyi, there is no comparison at all, but as long as you wear the same clothes, they will be compared. Every time you take stock of the same clothes, your photos will appear repeatedly. Of course, it is difficult to avoid the same clothes. Many celebrities have encountered them, but what can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible, especially in major occasions. Don't fantasize that you can wear the same clothes as big stars. It is impossible. The clothing of big brands will not be lent to small stars. If you don't have enough fame, you can't borrow it. Top stars often wear high-end customs. This thing is just one set, and it is impossible to wear it on two people at the same time."

Zhang Jingchu asked curiously: "What is haute couture?"

Zhang Ran said in surprise: "You don't even know this?"

Zhang Jingchu was a little embarrassed: "I'm a terrible one!"

Zhang Ran shook her head helplessly. Nowadays, domestic celebrities generally have poor fashion awareness and do not even have this concept. For example, Gao Yuanyuan, who was famous for her fashion in later generations, actually went in sportswear when she attended some cocktail parties at the Berlin Film Festival in one year.

He explained: "There are two types of fashion, one is called ready-made garments and the other is called customization. Ready garments are mass-produced, and customization is made according to the size of the customer. Haute couture is a high-end customization. The real haute couture is a brand recognized by the French Haute couture Association. There are more than ten brands in the world, there are about ten in France, and six or seven overseas brands. The real haute couture requirements are very strict and must have a studio in Paris; the number of clothing pieces in each style is very small and basically done by hand, and the clothing must be tailor-made; more than 3 full-time models and at least 2 full-time employees are employed all year round; attend the press conference held at the Paris Haute couture Fashion Week twice a year, and at least 5 works are required for each series. If you were originally a haute couture brand, but now the conditions are not met, you will be disqualified. Therefore, there are more than 10 real haute couture brands! If one day, you can wear the seasonal haute couture dress, it means you are a first-line star!"

Zhang Jingchu stuck out her tongue: "I didn't expect that wearing clothes would be so particular, it's so complicated!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "The entertainment industry and the fashion industry are never separated. You must learn these things!"

An hour later, the car stopped in Hongyuan Hutong. The door opened, Zhang Ran walked out of the car, and looked up and saw the three words "Rose Square".

Rose House is Guo Pei's fashion customization studio. Guo Pei is one of the earliest customized dress designers in China. She has made clothes for the host and important actors of CCTV's "Spring Festival Gala" for ten consecutive years. It can be said that she is the royal use of CCTV. Of course, her most famous outfit is the fashion industry Oscar's 215 metball, which looks quite like a pancake.

Zhang Ran is not too cold to Guo Pei's dress. Her designs prefer to pile up Chinese elements. The flowers are big red and green, straightforward and abrupt, and very eye-catching. It is very suitable for lively and festive occasions like the Spring Festival Gala, but it will look more tacky when you get a fashionable arena like the red carpet of the film festival. But now there are only a handful of people who make customized dresses in China, and the others are not as good as her.

In the car, Li Xiaowan had already contacted Guo Pei, so Zhang Ran and the other two got off the car and saw two women waiting at the door.

"Miss Xiaowan, long time no see." Guo Pei is a young woman in her early thirties, wearing a long skirt and looking good.

"Long time no see, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to ask you to welcome you this time." Li Xiaowan smiled and hugged the other party.

"Sister Xiaowan, don't be polite to me." Guo Pei smiled.

Li Xiaowan smiled and pointed at Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu behind her and said, "This is director Zhang Ran, his movie was shortlisted for the Tokyo Film Festival. This is Zhang Jingchu. The actors in our company, we came for her costume."

"Hello, I like the costumes you designed for "Da Ming Palace Ci", they are very beautiful." Zhang Ran smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Thank you. It's a great honor to see you!" Guo Pei shook hands with Zhang Ran first, then shook hands with Zhang Jingchu, and said, "I'll take you to visit our studio first, and then let's talk about clothing."

Walking into the headquarters of Rose House, the first floor is the magnificent reception hall. Exquisite high-end custom-made clothes are displayed; the second floor is set up with fitting rooms of different styles, dignified and elegant Chinese style, enthusiastic and unrestrained youth confession, and noble and luxurious aristocratic style, creating an infinite space for imagination for guests with different temperaments and styles. The third and fourth floors are the soul of Rose House. More than one professional team of senior designers, embroiderers, pattern makers, craftsmen, etc. are all busy in their respective positions. Accompanied by beautiful background music, customized fashion worth tens of thousands to millions of yuan was born one by one in the cumbersome program.

After a visit, Zhang Ran and the others sat down in the conference room and began to discuss the issue of clothing with Guo Pei. Zhang Jingchu is still a local girl now and does not have a clear concept of clothing. She thinks that the customized clothing displayed by Guo Pei is good and beautiful, and she just needs to borrow a few sets of clothing at will. Of course, she cares more about Zhang Ran’s view, after all, women are to please themselves.

Zhang Ran really looked down on the clothes displayed by Guo Pei, so he took out a few pictures from his bag and placed them in front of Guo Pei: "Look at this!"

Guo Pei took a look and found it was a fashion design manuscript and frowned. What does this mean? Come to me, you look down on me too much with someone else's design! But when she saw the content of the design drawings clearly, her expression suddenly changed, and she immediately curled her smile and looked extremely focused.

Guo Pei's assistant could not see the design drawings in Guo Pei's hand, and she was not sure why she was like this. She was very surprised. What exactly is this? How could Teacher Guo Pei react like this?

At this moment, Guo Pei suddenly stood up, held the drawings in his hand, and asked in a trembling voice: "Who designed these clothes?" (To be continued.)
