Chapter 526: Hot and Popular

The world fell into madness; time swept by a storm, all the hustle and bustle of the heat came rushing in, and then was swept into a starlight.

The day before, Gao Wen appeared on the live stage of the "Today Show" and announced that he had signed contracts with Nike and Wilson, officially building a tennis brand image.

The next day, Gao Wen appeared on the annual charity stage of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, entering the bizarre fashion stage for the first time.

Since 1971, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has held a charity ball every year, organizing fashion parties with different themes to raise funds for the museum. This event is called the "Met-Gala" and enjoys the reputation of "the Oscars of the fashion world". It is considered the most important carnival of the year.

This charity event is open to all members of the society and everyone is invited to contribute to charity. The clearly priced invitation letters are one of the main ways to raise funds. Anyone willing to pay can enter, but the tickets are very expensive: in 2014, a single ticket cost as much as 25,000 US dollars. If the sponsoring brand is willing to book a table, a round table can be booked for 400,000 US dollars, and the brand itself will send out invitations to invite celebrities and performing stars to attend. As the organizers, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and "Vogue" magazine will naturally welcome them with open arms.

Of course, attending is more than just attending. Every year, a special fashion theme will be set for the red carpet of the dinner, and every guest is invited to dress up in their best and look stunning.

This year, as the new US Open champion, Gao Wen received an invitation from the luxury brand Burberry, which allowed her to appear on the red carpet under the spotlight.

That night, the stars gathered and the light shone brightly.

When Gawain appeared on the red carpet in a black suit, white shirt and evening gown, all of a sudden, all the flash lights in the venue lit up, and an overwhelming silver waterfall poured down. The sound of shutter clicks continued to roar, and the red carpet under his feet seemed to have vitality.

When he opened his eyes, he saw only a vast expanse of white light. The world disappeared into nothingness. One after another, surging figures spread out along the edge of his vision. This was obviously a field that Gawain did not understand or was not familiar with. Everything was new and shocking at the same time.

Obviously, this was completely different from the scene Gawain had imagined.

In Gao Wen's opinion, although literature and sports are inseparable, competitive sports and entertainment fashion are still far apart. This charity dinner has nothing to do with his daily life, so when Tobias told him about this event, his first reaction was "You are kidding."

Tobias could sense Gao Wen's nervousness and was very surprised. "Even the 'Today Show' broadcast live across the United States didn't show you nervous. Why are you worried about a fashion red carpet?"

"Because it has absolutely nothing to do with my life." While speaking, Gao Wen also gestured up and down at his outfit. It was just simple sportswear. Not to mention a suit, he didn't even have many opportunities to wear jeans and casual shirts in his daily life. He was still used to wearing sportswear.

The theme of this year's dinner is "White Tie and Accessories", in honor of Charles-James, one of the most outstanding couturier in fashion history. This also means that all men must wear formal evening wear, including black tuxedos, white vests, white folded-lapel shirts and white bow ties.

Decoration refers to medals or ribbons.

The sponsoring brand Burberry personally sent a stylist to tailor a suit for Gao Wen and modified it according to his body shape and size. When he put on the suit and stood in front of the floor-length dressing mirror, Gao Wen felt that the self in the projection was extremely unfamiliar, as if he was another person.

Moreover, Gao Wen believes that even tennis fans are not familiar with him, let alone the fashion and entertainment industry. If he appeared at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Charity Gala in New York, reporters and other celebrity guests would not recognize him:

"They probably thought I was some upstart who spent $25,000 on a ticket."

That's why Gowan went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York with a relaxed and entertaining attitude, and then appeared on the red carpet in a low-key manner.

result?

Click, click, click, click, click…

The shutter sound hesitated for only a moment, and then an incredible sound broke out, pouring down like a torrential rain, and the whole world continued to roar.

Two days ago, during the championship award ceremony, Gao Wen was bombarded with shutter clicks. The roar of the bombardment lingered on his eardrums for a long time. At that time, Gao Wen thought he had witnessed the overwhelming force of the reporters. But today, his perception was overturned in an instant. This was completely like a witch meeting a witch. His hearing was cut off in an instant, leaving only a long, gentle sound.

Buzz.

Both vision and hearing fell into a brief blank, and then only intermittent words could be heard coming from the other end of the valley.

"Gawain, look here!"

"Hey, hey, hey! High! High!"

"Smile, wave! Gao, can you pose for the camera?"

“A handsome smile!”

"Champion, change direction."

crazy.

It's nothing but madness.

Not only did the reporters know Gao Wen, but their instant burst of enthusiasm for taking photos and willingness to interview him made the air burn.

Although Gawain had just emerged, his name had already broken through the barriers of the field and was having an extremely far-reaching influence.

Looking at Nike's attitude, we can get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg. Otherwise, why would Burberry be willing to send out an invitation? Tonight, Gawain appeared on the red carpet of the fashion party. His slender figure and well-proportioned lines exude a unique temperament from the inside out. His sunny and energetic spirit, which is completely different from the world of fame and fortune, is particularly special. He immediately became the darling of the media as soon as he appeared on the stage. This also truly marks that Gawain has taken a step beyond the field of sports.

An important step! From a "star" to a "superstar".

However, for Gawain, everything was wrapped in a layer of dreamy luster, just like Alice in Wonderland, everything he saw was full of magic.

Not far away, Johnny Depp and his wife Amber Heard were bathed in the flash lights. The novelty of seeing "Pirates of the Caribbean", which had once only appeared on the big screen, appear in front of them easily broke the fourth wall.

Movies, like television, use light and shadow to construct a fantasy magical world, and the separations and deaths in it are like magic.

At the beginning, it was an excitement to see Sampras and Agassi in person. Although they were characters appearing on the TV screen, Gao Wen always knew that they were real players in the real world. So when they met, it was more like a dream come true of seeing his idol.

However, seeing Depp up close breaks the boundary between imagination and reality. Although it is not accurate to describe it as "Ye Gong loves dragons", Gawain does have a contradictory mentality of wanting to get close but keeping a distance. The surprise in his eyes is as if he has entered the world of the movie himself.

Wonderful and dreamy.

The whole world suddenly became colorful. This is definitely a rare experience.
