As for the production team, after Director Tannis learned of the situation, he had no intention of using this incident for marketing. Therefore, Xiao He and his team were happy to relax and not have to deliberately guide public opinion, completely including it in Xiao He's list of "good deeds done anonymously".

...

Two days later, Xiao He officially bid farewell to the "Ford v Ferrari 7" crew and returned to France to prepare for the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.

Before leaving, director Tannis asked Xiao He about his schedule for the second half of the year, but received a regretful reply from Xiao He: "I already have a schedule for the second half of this year. It was decided a long time ago. I'm very sorry."

Director Tannis sighed and said nothing in the end, only congratulating Xiao He on his film being shortlisted and expressing his hope that Xiao He would shine at the film festival.

With director Tannis's blessing, Xiao He landed in Paris.

This is the capital of France, a global center for art, fashion, and culture. It boasts numerous renowned fashion brands and designers, and the annual Paris Fashion Week attracts top fashion talent from around the world. A complete fashion ecosystem thrives here, leading the trends in fashion.

Compared to Grasse, which he visited last time, the fashion atmosphere here is undoubtedly much stronger. When Xiao He was led by Liu Rulan to a top-notch fashion design studio, he couldn't hide his shock.

"Sister Liu, you actually have such connections?"

Looking at the row of high-fashion couture items that had just been pushed down the corridor, Xiao He couldn't help but sigh at his own ignorance.

Although the fashion world has been dominated by some outrageously ugly clothes in recent years, it must be admitted that in these high-end studios, the majority of the clothes are still beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and not as horrific as one might imagine.

However, it must be admitted that most of them are women's clothing.

Even if they are just hanging on a hanger, or worn on a pure white faceless mannequin, those clothes can still exude beauty and elegance.

As Xiao He walked along the corridor, he felt as if he were watching a fashion show.

"You know these people too?"

Liu Rulan pushed open the door to a lounge, her voice tinged with a smile.

Xiao He was somewhat bewildered: "I know him too?"

"The last time we came to the Kingdom of Fran."

Liu Rulan reminded her with a smile.

In an instant, a person flashed through Xiao He's mind.

Mrs. Marshall?

His face was filled with shock.

"Bingo, congratulations on getting it right." Liu Rulan snapped her fingers. "When we left, she recommended a designer to me, and then I had a good chat with them and prepared your outfit for the Cannes red carpet in advance."

"It was around that time—"

Xiao He had guessed that Mrs. Marshall was someone of high status, but he never expected that she would have such connections here.

However, perfume is part of the fashion industry, and Mrs. Marshall is a big name in the perfume world. It's not unreasonable for her to know a few well-known fashion designers.

Xiao He leaned closer to Liu Rulan and whispered, "Sister Liu, they shouldn't make me wear anything strange, right?"

In truth, Xiao He felt that wearing a black suit and casually walking around would be fine; after all, there isn't that much room for improvisation in men's fashion. Many male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, on the contrary, become the target of ridicule and relentless criticism from fashion bloggers precisely because they overdo it, ultimately ending up looking better in a simple black suit, neither particularly good nor bad.

Moreover, the higher the status of these designers, the more they like to have the final say. Even if the celebrities know that the designs are ugly, they don't dare to offend them and can only grit their teeth and wear them.

Therefore, Xiao He had already begun to make preparations in his mind.

If it really looks bad later, will he say it directly, or will he just say it directly?
