Wentour took the design drawing from Galliano's hand and saw it. He was stunned at first, then flipped back and said in surprise: "This is the skirt worn by the Chinese girl at the Tokyo Film Festival. How could the design drawing be here?" Then he looked up and asked, "Whose desk is this?"

Everyone around was a little confused. No, even the female devil reacted so much? What exactly is the design?

One employee said carefully: "This is the position of King Alexander, who is an intern in the clothing group."

Wintour was very interested in the designer of the "Bamboo" series, but he didn't expect that the clue of this person was on v command: "Come him, John and I want to see him!"

The employee immediately jogged to find Wang Daren. The female devil didn't like to wait for others. If she was slow, she would wait for scolding!

Galliano heard Wintour mention that there was a girl wearing this dress in the film festival and asked curiously: "Anna, have you seen this ready-to-wear for this design?"

Wentour nodded and said, "About a month ago, the media reported on the Tokyo Film Festival that a Chinese girl was wearing this series of dresses, but I don't know who the designer is. Why, do you think the design is excellent, right?"

Galliano looked at the drawing in his hand and exclaimed: "It's very outstanding. I especially like the sky blue design, which is very sexy. His line segmentation is very good. The outer contour lines, inner structural lines, and decorative segmentation reminds me of Giorgio Armani. Although Armani has also designed Chinese-style dresses, it is not as good as this one."

Wentour nodded and said, "I was very shocked when I saw the photos. I have seen many dresses with Chinese elements before, but most of them are very deliberate and very few are well designed! The two sets of cheongsams you designed in 1997 are very good, and I remember them deeply!"

In 1997, Galliano showed two Chinese dresses at the Dior Show. Among them, the apple green cheongsam was spotted by Nicole Kidman and attended the Oscars that year. It was the first time that the cheongsam appeared on the red carpet of the Oscars.

Galliano smiled and shook his head, "My design is what I imagined, it is a dramatic China. His design is the real China. His lines are handled very soft and lightly. The fabric is made of silk, which can show a flowing side. Wearing this skirt is like a fairy walking around. In fact, the most exciting thing is that the whole design presents a balance, which is great!"

Wintour asked in wonder: "Balance? All clothing designs require balance!"

Galliano looked at the design drawing in his hand and said, "The balance in clothing design refers to the balance of collars, sleeves, pleats, and the balance of colors, lines, patterns, textures on the body of the clothes; as well as structural lines, division lines, and seams. China also pays attention to this, but they also had a balance between man and nature in ancient times. They believed that man and nature are one, and people also need to achieve a balance in nature when wearing clothes. I stayed in Shaolin Temple for a week, which was what they said when talking to the monks inside. It inspired me very much. This design has that balance between man and nature, a strange sense of balance."

Wentour nodded slowly: "As soon as you say that, I understand. When I see the photos of the film festival, I feel that the girl seems to be walking in the bamboo forest, which is a wonderful feeling."

A few minutes later, Wang Daren was called over. He was confused and even worried. After all, Zhang Ran laughed at Lauren fiercely just now, and it was possible that she would sue him in front of Wentule. The first thing he did after coming was to look at Lauren. When he saw Lauren standing beside Wentule and looking at him coldly, he suddenly became nervous.

When Galliano saw Wang Daren coming, he asked politely: "Are you King Alexander?"

Wang Daren naturally recognized Galliano. When he heard that it was him looking for him, he felt a little relieved and asked, "Yes, Mr. Galliano, I don't know what you are asking me for?"

Galliano held the paper and shook his eyes before Wang Daren: "Did you design these clothes?

When Wang Daren saw that it was Zhang Ran's design drawing, he immediately laughed. He had heard that Wentuer liked Zhang Ran's "Bamboo" series very much. Now the matter is interesting, and Zhang Ran has been angry with Lauren.

However, Wang Daren was more shocked. Wintour and Galliano both have extraordinary status in the fashion circle, but they wanted to meet Zhang Ran when they saw Zhang Ran's design drawings. He became more and more impressed by Zhang Ran: "No, this is designed by my friend, a Chinese designer. He is a real genius!"

Galliano asked, "What's his name?"

Wang Daren looked at Lauren. She was looking at herself in horror, as if the leaves in the wind were shaking, and she smiled and said, "Half an hour ago, he visited here. But Lauren insulted him and said that he was from the fashion desert. He didn't understand fashion. He was very angry and left!"

Although Anna Wintour is known as a female devil, she likes to help talented young designers. Galliano was poor and destitute, and it was because she received her recommendation that she became Dior's designer; Mark Jacob was also recommended by her to take charge; even Wang Daren, who became famous in later generations, became popular because she was supported by her.

Now a very talented young designer came to Vogue to visit, but was insulted by his assistant and left in anger. This was about to spread, both for V and for his reputation. Wintour looked at Lauren and said sternly: "Lauren, you can find a new job!"

Lauren's face was pale. She had been in vogue for nine months. If she stayed in vogue for a year and then switched to other companies, she would get a good position. If she left now, she wouldn't have anything. She begged: "Anna, I will apologize to Mr. Zhang, please give me a chance!"

Wentour said coldly: "Don't look down on any designers, even if they are down and out, vogue's status today is what designers have praised us. What you do will be a huge harm to vogue. You can leave!"

Lauren opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but in the end he didn't say anything. She glared at Wentour fiercely and turned away. But she said viciously in her heart, I will write a book, write everything out, and I will let everyone know your true face, a domineering demon!

Wentour looked at Wang Daren and said in an unquestionable tone: "Call your friend and ask him to come, John and I want to see him."

"Okay, Ms. Wentour!" Wang Daren quickly took out his cell phone and dialed Zhang Ran's phone number. He will still survive in the fashion circle in the future. The female devil must listen to the words.

Zhang Ran was surprised when he received a call from Wang Daren. Wentour and Galliano wanted to see me? These two people are both great figures in the fashion circle, especially Wentour, who is the queen of the fashion circle. Zhang Ran naturally wants to get along with these people.

As soon as Zhang Ran walked into the Conde Nast Building, Wang Daren rushed over and pulled him into the elevator.

When the elevator arrived at the 12th floor, Wang Daren pulled Zhang Ran into Wentour's office again and introduced: "Ms. Wentour, Mr. Galliano, this is Zhang Ran, a designer from China!"

Galliano smiled and walked up to shake hands with Zhang Ran: "I didn't expect China to have an outstanding talented designer like you, a design I like very much!"

"Thank you, Mr. Galliano!" Zhang Ran smiled and turned his eyes to Anna Wintour, who was sitting behind the desk. The eternal bob head, and a cold face, exuded a powerful aura.

In front of the queen of the fashion circle, Zhang Ran did not dare to act rashly, and nodded with a smile: "Hello, Ms. Wintour."

"Please sit, Mr. Zhang." Wentour looked at Zhang Ran and nodded slightly, pointing to the chair opposite the desk.

"Thank you." Zhang Ran nodded and sat down.

Wintour had no expression on his face, and was very serious, like an examiner: "I saw your design, it was very beautiful. Do you have more designs?"

Zhang Ran shrugged and said helplessly: "No, I am not a fashion designer, but a film director. My girlfriend and I have no reputation. I can't borrow big brands of clothing when participating in the film festival. Even second-tier brands can only borrow the remaining ones from others, and there is no good-looking design. There is no way, I can only design it myself!"

Wintour was surprised. The film director, because his girlfriend didn’t have a skirt, this person is a real genius!

Galliano once fell into disarray, knew the feeling of being neglected, and said generously: "From the future, your girlfriend will wear Dior, she can choose any style!"

When he heard Zhang Jingchu’s dress later, Dior wrapped it. Zhang Ran was overjoyed: “Thank you, Mr. Galliano. You are such a good person. Now I don’t have to worry about my girlfriend’s dress!”

Not wanting to hear this, Galliano shouted: "No, no, I can't lend you Dior's dress. I also want to let all the designers I know not lend it to you. If your girlfriend can borrow the dress, you will not do design again. That would be a waste of your talent. Anna, are you right?"

Wentour looked at Zhang Ran and said with a smile: "It makes sense!"

Zhang Ran was a little amused. These two were both masters in the fashion circle, especially Wentour. She wanted to say hello. Zhang Jingchu might not be able to borrow big-name dresses in the future: "Mr. Galliano, my girlfriend is your loyal fan. She especially likes the dresses you designed. She will be very sad if you do this!"

"It's okay to lend it to your girlfriend." Galliano touched his mustache, then raised the design drawings of the "bamboo" series in his hand, "But you have to tell me about your entire design concept. I'm very interested in the state you present, and people and nature are in a balanced state, which is very wonderful!"

Man and nature are in a state of balance? Zhang Ran was stunned and then realized that it was the unity of man and nature, explaining: "Chinese traditional clothing was the form of clothing originated from the ancient worship of heaven and earth. It is the materialization of the concept of "harmony of man and nature" in clothing in ancient Chinese philosophy. Heaven is the representative of nature, and man and heaven are essentially connected, and all people and things should follow the laws of nature."

Zhang Ran originally planned to get Wang Daren to Los Angeles and continue to work on the crew's preparations. As a result, he met an artistic madman, Galliano, and pulled Zhang Ran to discuss traditional Chinese philosophy and costumes with him. Zhang Ran was troubled and finally found an English version of the Tao Te Ching and told him that this book is the essence of ancient Chinese philosophical thoughts, and he will gain a lot after reading it.

However, what really liberated Zhang Ran was Mary Fein's phone call, which was bad news.

As Mary Fein expected, Keanu Reeves refused to star in Zhang Ran's play. In the past, Keanu Reeves became famous during the life and death period, and there were a bunch of action blockbusters waiting for him to choose, but he went to act in art films and never acted in action films again. Even when Life and Death period 2 was forced to change the plot, saying that the heroine had found a new boyfriend. He acted in three movies in the Matrix, and it was normal to refuse Zhang Ran's science fiction films.

However, Keanu Reeves was Zhang Ran’s first choice, and it was the most suitable in any aspect. Zhang Ran did not want to change to anyone else, he was confident that he would convince Keanu Reeves.

Although Keanu Reeves does his own way, he is an actor after all, and actors have their pursuits! (To be continued.)
