Chapter 272: Strength Show
As the night grew late and everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the banquet gradually came to an end.
After the dinner, Gu Wei went straight back to his room upstairs in the Castle Hotel. The crew arranged the presidential suite on the top floor for him.
Zhang Tianai took Gu Wei's arm and left the table with him. Gu Wei didn't care and let her do what she wanted.
Walking on the high-end carpet and taking the VIP elevator to the top floor, the two of them came to Gu Wei's room.
After entering the door, Zhang Tianai served Gu Wei attentively like a little wife.
First, she went to the bathroom to prepare bath water for him, and then she brewed a cup of sobering tea and placed it in front of him.
At the banquet, Zhang Tianai only drank beverages the whole time. Gu Wei didn't say anything, and no one else at the main table mentioned it either. No one would be so tactless as to persuade her to drink.
She was wearing a pink and white V-neck slim dress today, which showed off her curvy figure. Her arms, smooth shoulders and a large area of snow-white skin on her chest were exposed, giving her a noble and dazzling beauty.
When she bent down to make tea for Gu Wei, her long skirt exposed her graceful curves completely to his sight.
Zhang Tianai had just finished pouring the water and was about to get up when Gu Wei, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, pulled her into his arms.
“Ah~
Stop it, you just drank so much alcohol, drinking some tea is good for your health~"
Zhang Tianai struggled slightly. She was wearing thin clothes, but when she got closer, she could naturally feel the muscular outline of Gu Wei's body and the masculine scent coming towards her. Her face flushed slightly, and she softened in his arms.
Gu Wei held her in his arms, picked up the tea in front of him with one hand, blew on it slightly, and took a small sip.
Then he stood up, picked up Zhang Tianai and walked towards the bedroom.
Zhang Tianai put his arms around Gu Wei's neck and whispered:
"You smell of alcohol, why don't you go take a shower first?"
Gu Wei thought for a moment and said with a wicked smile:
"Then let's go together."
Zhang Tianai didn't answer, but just buried her head in his arms and let him do whatever he wanted.
The next day, the crew prepared to shoot the scene in which Gu Wei made a guest appearance.
This plot is relatively simple. Gu Wei only needs to play himself, sitting in front of the piano and singing a song by himself, following the director's arrangements and coordination, and cooperating with the two male and female protagonists Chen Teng and Zhang Tianai and other supporting roles to perform.
This scene, which lasts less than 3 minutes in the movie, was filmed in just half a day by the crew.
There were a few NGs in the middle due to positioning and coordination issues, but overall it went very smoothly.
In the afternoon, after completing the visit and guest appearance, Gu Wei prepared to leave and said goodbye to the two directors and Shen Teng.
"Can you come again before the filming is finished?"
Zhang Tianai felt a little reluctant.
"It depends. I've been busy lately. I'm going to England soon. If I have time, I'll definitely come see you."
Gu Wei thought for a moment and said.
Although Zhang Tianai was a little disappointed after hearing this, he still nodded gently.
Ever since she became famous, her schedule has been very full. Gu Wei is much more famous than her, so it is normal that he has more things to do.
Besides, her career is getting better and better, and she occasionally has the opportunity to be with Gu Wei. For her, it is already a perfect life.
Two years ago, I was still an 18th-tier model who lived in a rental house and worried about my work every day. Now, I can only dream about the life of a big star and dare not even think about it.
All of this was brought by the man in front of me. In just two years, he single-handedly brought me up.
Now she has endless acting jobs, companies are promoting her to play the leading female role in movies, various endorsements, and she appears on the covers of fashion magazines. She makes a lot of money, all thanks to him.
Zhang Tianai has thought countless times about what she would be like now if she had not had the chance to join the crew of "The Blade of the Assassin" in the summer of 2012. She would probably still be the little model busy looking for work every day.
London Fashion Week is one of the four major fashion weeks in the world, alongside Paris, Milan and New York.
This year's Spring/Summer Fashion Week saw the release of LV's new menswear products.
As the new global spokesperson for Louis Vuitton, Gu Wei was invited to watch the show.
After getting off the plane, the first thing we did was to work with the local photographer hired by the team in advance to take a few sets of photos and send them back to China for publicity.
This is also what the brand requires of him. Since he has received so much money, he should cooperate with the brand's publicity at various stages throughout the year.
After arriving at the hotel, I met Nicolas Ghesquière, the current creative director of LV. This famous designer in the fashion industry is a Belgian. Before he first became the creative director of LV, he was the main line design director of Balenciaga.
She has designed Oscar dresses for Hollywood stars such as Jennifer Connelly and Nicole Kidman.
To be honest, although there is no communication barrier between the two, Gu Wei has basically no knowledge about fashion. He is now able to gain a foothold in the fashion circle entirely due to his super-hot fame and solid foundation.
He has a perfect appearance and figure, and he has a strong sense of fashion in basically any clothes he wears. With a look like Gu Wei, even if he wears a sack on his body, people will think that it is the clothes designed for him by a top fashion master.
Compared to Gu Weilai's endless chatter, Nicholas was actually more interested in him.
When the two of them were chatting, he could always find a topic to talk about, looking Gu Wei up and down with a smile on his face from time to time.
Occasionally, I would say a few words of praise
"Gu~you are the most perfect celebrity with the most perfect figure and appearance I've ever seen in all these years. You can only imagine how perfect the men's clothing I designed would look on you!"
Gu Wei was not modest about this praise and accepted it all.
This happens abroad, and foreigners don't care about being humble.
I just felt a little uneasy when I saw his eyes. There are many people coming out in the fashion circle, but I haven't heard of any news about this creative director.
This year's show venue is set in the large square in front of Somerset House, located on the south side of the Strand, overlooking the Thames and adjacent to Waterloo Bridge to the west. It is a famous historical site in the UK and one of the ancient buildings that is deeply loved by tourists.
The next day, at the show, all the invited audience members had already taken their seats, with about 200 people sitting in the rows on both sides.
In addition to some internationally renowned celebrities, the people who came were basically designers, media reporters, fashion bloggers and the like from the fashion circle.
As a heavyweight guest, Gu Wei naturally sat in the middle of the front row.
From his perspective, there were a few familiar faces opposite him and not far to his left and right, both from the East and the West. However, he didn't see any Chinese stars. The few Eastern faces were probably stars from Japan and South Korea.
To be honest, although Gu Wei is extremely popular in China now, and he can even stand up and say to the new generation of stars, "All of you here are rubbish," there is nothing wrong with that.
However, due to the short time since his debut, he has little influence internationally.
Last year, his two English songs became a little popular in North America. Unfortunately, due to his own lack of attention and focusing his main energy on the domestic market, the songs became popular but he himself was not.
I guess not many North American fans can recognize him.
Things are better in Japan and South Korea. At the end of last year, the copyright of "My Sunshine" was sold to Japan, South Korea and some Southeast Asian countries.
Later I heard that the show "My Sunshine", which was renamed "Cinderella at 12 Noon", had quite high ratings when it was broadcast in Japan.
The time has come and the show is about to begin.
The first part was the entry of all the models. Since it was a square, the organizers did not set up any platforms, but only left a passage in the middle for the models to walk. The audience on both sides were very close to the models, so they could experience the fashion and design of the new clothes up close.
Today is the show for the release of new men's clothing. Tall male models, wearing various fashionable clothes, have expressionless faces and walk quickly through the line.
Initially, Gu Wei didn't care because it was just an opening, the models were just making a brief appearance, and the actual product display was still to come.
But he suddenly saw a familiar face among a group of male models, like a husky standing among a group of wolves. He was a little shorter, walked in a sloppy manner, and wore a sky blue suit, which was very different from the style of the other models.
Gu Wei frowned and took a closer look, confirming that the person walking in the middle of the group of models was none other than Huang Zitao, one of the four returning sons.
"Why is he here, standing with these models? I haven't heard that Huang Zitao changed his career to become a model?"
Gu Wei was full of questions at this time.
Huang Zitao, who was in the model team, became more and more anxious at this time. He walked forward with the crowd while looking left and right.
Suddenly he saw Gu Wei in the audience next to him. Coincidentally, due to Gu Wei's special status, the organizer reserved a bench for him, making the seat he was sitting on look particularly spacious, in order to highlight his noble status.
Huang Zitao followed the crowd of models and walked in front of Gu Wei, then walked out naturally from among the models, holding up the elastic band of his pants as he walked, giving the impression that he had just finished using the toilet, and then sat down next to Gu Wei.
This operation really confused Gu Wei, and the people next to him who stood up to watch the show also looked at Huang Zitao with surprise.
"Why don't you go back to the model team? This is the audience~"
Gu Wei turned to look at Huang Zitao and reminded him.
"Brother Wei, let me introduce myself. My name is Huang Zitao, and I'm Brother Lu's teammate.
Although we have never met, I apologized to Wu Jing for you online before.
Later, I heard Brother Lu mention you again, so we are quite acquainted."
Huang Zitao did not answer Gu Wei's question, but introduced himself with a smile on his face.
However, Gu Wei always felt that it would be more accurate to say that he and he were celebrating a holiday.
"What's going on with you today?"
Gu Wei didn't expect Huang Zitao to be so familiar, but although he was confused by his behavior today, he had a good first impression of him. He spoke very honestly, with a sense of sober stupidity, and his accent had a bit of Qindao oyster flavor.
"I had an invitation, but I was late. When I got to the door, the show had already started. The passage to the auditorium was blocked, so I couldn't get in. I went through another passage to the model backstage and followed them up."
Huang Zitao explained to Gu Wei with a wry smile.
"Your operation is really..."
Being late is not a big deal, but Huang Zitao is a talent as he can think of going on stage with the models.
Gu Wei gave him a thumbs up, indicating that he was impressed by his excellent operation.
"Okay, just sit here. Come with me when we're done. Honestly, this could be a big deal or a small one, and it might even have some impact on your future development."
"Thank you, Brother Wei~"
Huang Zitao's invitation seat was in the second row, and Gu Wei was definitely the center of the audience, making a lot of money.
However, after hearing the second half of Gu Wei's words, he felt somewhat confused.
"It shouldn't be a big deal if I come in late, right?"
"At the very least, you were only 10 minutes late. At the most, your behavior disrupted order in the venue and ruined the designer's carefully prepared show. You're likely to be disliked by the brand later on because of angering the designer."
Gu Wei explained to him patiently.
Huang Zitao frowned slightly and began to worry.
However, what Gu Wei said are all possibilities, and now that things have happened there is no way to change them. Let's see what the consequences are later and then find a way to remedy the situation.
Thinking this in his mind, Huang Zitao's expression calmed down.
Sitting next to Gu Wei on the bench was a plump white lady in her 50s, Suzy Menkes, a famous fashion critic in London.
Susie was no stranger to Gu Wei who was sitting next to her. As a veteran in the fashion industry, the global spokesperson for Louis Vuitton must know him.
But she was confused when Huang Zitao suddenly rushed out from the model team and sat next to her.
Huang Zitao sat right between her and Gu Wei.
She couldn't understand the conversation between Gu Wei and Huang Zitao in Chinese, so when they stopped talking, she asked Huang Zitao next to her in English.
"Who are you?"
Huang Zitao ignored her the first time.
Susie asked twice more.
“I’m a spectator~”
There was no choice but Taotao turned around and answered with a smile.
"You're lying, I saw you walking through the crowd of models!"
Unexpectedly, the old woman didn't believe it at all and continued talking with a blank expression.
Huang Zitao stopped talking upon seeing this and started to concentrate on watching the show.
Susie had no choice but to look very unhappy.
Gu Wei heard the conversation between the two people and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.
