Chapter 465 Must Fight
"Ms. Dong, please ask Miss Xiaoxiao to give us three days. We will deliver new, fashionable, and beautiful costumes to Miss Xiaoxiao within three days. Please give us another chance. Thank you. Please, Miss Dong."
After Dong Peiyu put some pressure on Philip, her tone softened. "Mr. Philip, you know I'm the last person to see a collaboration fail. After all, it was me who facilitated this collaboration. I hope you can show genuine goodwill, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to Miss Xiaoxiao. For the sake of our friendship, I can help you one more time. Please ask Miss Xiaoxiao once more."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Peiyu and Hu Xiaoxiao carefully studied the information of other actors, including male actors.
After Hu Xiaoxiao and Dong Peiyu cooperated with each other, one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy, they took advantage of the costume issue to make trouble, which immediately changed the attitude of Hamlet Company towards Hu Xiaoxiao. They no longer dared to be as arrogant as they did in the past when dealing with Baogang stars who came to Hollywood to develop.
In less than three days, the costume designer not only redesigned the costumes but also made samples.
Philip personally brought the costumes and a bouquet of bright roses to Hu Xiaoxiao. "Beautiful flowers should be paired with beautiful Miss Xiaoxiao."
"Thank you, Mr. Philip." The other party was so polite and enthusiastic. As an elegant lady, Hu Xiaoxiao thanked him with an elegant smile and invited Mr. Philip to come in and take a seat.
Dong Peiyu made a cup of coffee and handed it to Philip, who expressed his gratitude to Dong Peiyu again.
After a round of mutual courtesy and praise, Philip took out the costume and explained to Hu Xiaoxiao, "This is a costume that the designer worked up two nights to create. It not only retains the mysterious oriental elements, but also incorporates Western fashion elements. In order to design the most perfect work for Miss Xiaoxiao, the designer also referred to Miss Xiaoxiao's previous film looks. After searching a lot of information, he designed this costume that is unique to Miss Xiaoxiao's style and temperament..."
"Then I'm truly honored." Hu Xiaoxiao spoke beautifully, her heart as calm as ever. After so many encounters with these cunning foreigners, her expectations had already dropped to a minimum. She took the costume and said, "Then let me admire the superb skills of Hamlet Company's costume designers."
He opened the box containing the costume and took it out.
Dong Peiyu went up to help and unfolded the costume.
The costumes still used cheongsam elements, with some Western designs added. They looked much better than the first set, showing off the figure a little bit and not as bloated as the first set. The colors were also more colorful, unlike the first set which was gray and looked like it had just been dug out.
But Hu Xiaoxiao was still dissatisfied. Perhaps because of the rush, the new costumes still lacked detail. The designer clearly didn't understand Chinese culture. The so-called Eastern elements were just a random patchwork, and the integration with Western fashion elements was unnatural and a bit awkward.
This costume is only for those who don't know the ropes, not Hu Xiaoxiao. Since her debut, she's always been interested in fashion trends and has a great sense of style. When preparing to launch the Hanxiao clothing brand, Hu Xiaoxiao made a special effort to learn about clothing. Even though she's not a designer, she has an appreciation for it.
Especially in terms of costumes, she has participated in the design of almost all the films she has filmed. She also knows a lot about how to use costumes to express the character's personality and emotions, as well as how to achieve the effect of setting off the character.
"Is this the highest level of design of Hamlet Company?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked Philip after Dong Peiyu put away the costumes.
Philip's blue eyes flickered slightly, and the smile on his face was proper and elegant, like a gentleman. "This designer is indeed a very talented one at Hamlet Company, but Miss Xiaoxiao is a very insightful superstar and must have her own unique opinions. If Miss Xiaoxiao thinks there is anything that needs improvement, please feel free to tell me."
"Is he also the designer who designed Emily's costumes?" Hu Xiaoxiao continued to ask.
"The designer who designed the costumes for Emily and the other characters is called Charles," Philip explained. "After Charles finished designing the costumes for 'The Contract,' he took on other work and couldn't spare the time, so the company specially invited designer Jack to come over. You two beautiful ladies, Jack is also a designer who graduated from a famous design school, so he's perfectly qualified for this job."
"This designer's skills seem far inferior to Charles's. The costume Charles designed for Emily is much more beautiful." Hu Xiaoxiao's smile slowly faded. "Mr. Philip, the supporting actress's costume is actually much better than the heroine's. You should give me a reasonable explanation."
Philip saw Hu Xiaoxiao's dissatisfaction and said, "Ms. Xiaoxiao, designer Charles has worked with Emily several times and is quite familiar with her figure and temperament. In addition, Emily confirmed her role half a year ago, which gave Charles more room to prepare. Your first costume was also designed by Charles, but since this was his first collaboration with Miss Xiaoxiao, he was inevitably a little unsure. This time, the company has specially found a new designer to serve you. It's a one-on-one service. Miss Xiaoxiao, if you are not satisfied with anything, please feel free to raise it."
Hu Xiaoxiao asked quietly, "Didn't Mr. Philip say he'd been waiting for me for over a year? Shouldn't my costume have been finalized a year ago? Shouldn't Charles have had more time to prepare?"
"Miss Xiaoxiao is not in Hollywood, so Charles needs to get in touch with the actors themselves to get more inspiration when designing costumes..."
Dong Peiyu suddenly asked: "Mr. Philip, what is the name of this new designer?"
"His name is Jack, a very talented designer."
"Jack?" Dong Peiyu quickly reviewed the information she had memorized. "If I remember correctly, Jack is Charles' assistant designer, right?"
"Ms. Dong, Jack has been officially promoted to a full-time designer, and a costume he designed independently won the Best Costume Design Award this year. He is a very talented and spiritual designer, and he will definitely be able to design Miss Xiaoxiao's costume well."
"If his costumes are better looking than Emily's, I'd be willing to use them. But it's obvious that his designs are far inferior to Emily's." Hu Xiaoxiao said forcefully again, "Either hire a new designer to create costumes I'm satisfied with, or replace Emily's costumes with ordinary ones."
Whether in Baogang or Hollywood, you have to compete in this circle. What kind of star status you have, you must allocate what kind of resources, and you can't retreat a step.
Once you retreat, once you stop fighting, your status will drop and your voice will be lost.
It is impossible to ask her to support Emily and let Emily surpass her.
