Aston attached great importance to this new product launch and proposed a budget of 50 million to the top management of A.C. This was a huge expense for an old brand that was about to decline, and it could even be said to be a desperate move. If the press conference fails to achieve the expected success, both Auston and the A.C. Group will sink together.
This was a crazy move, but what was strange was that the top management of A.C. passed the proposal unanimously. That afternoon, their official website posted the following message: [What we are about to hold is not a new product launch conference, but a grand ceremony, so please look forward to it! 】
At the same time, Auston began to recruit models to walk his runway. Although he has been dormant for a year, his appeal is still there. Once the news came out, many models came to him and his popularity grew.
Zhong Yuxiu's agent watched from the sidelines for a few days and found that Auston was not deliberately delaying the new product launch, but was trying to make a big splash. She couldn't help but get impatient, "Yuxiu, nearly 70% of the supermodels on the supermodel list have interviewed for Auston's launch. Why don't you go and take a look at the situation?"
"I won't go unless he comes to beg me." Zhong Yuxiu sneered, "Without me, he won't be able to do anything. Everything he is doing now is just a last-ditch struggle."
However, just as she finished speaking, Auston announced the list of models for the new product launch on the official website of a.c. The first one was Lin Dan, followed by Tiffany, Beverly, Yalta and others. Except for Lin Dan, all the names following her were shining on the supermodel list, making the new product launch of a.c. star-studded before it even started.
Although their main show spot was snatched away by a little-known oriental model, these supermodels did not show any dissatisfaction, and they all expressed their feelings on Instagram: "Thank you Mr. Dodge for giving me this precious opportunity. We will eventually create another brand miracle." a.c., you are the eternal aristocrat! 】
These supermodels have a considerable number of fans, and thank-you letters were sent out one after another, which soon made A.C.'s new product launch conference very popular. Of course, Lin Dan seemed even more out of place among them. Her fame, status, and popularity could not be compared with those of the above-mentioned supermodels. Why did she occupy the main show position?
Many people flocked to the a.c. official website to criticize their stupid choice, and some strongly demanded a change of main show. Lin Dan’s personal homepage was also attacked by many black fans, and it was temporarily shut down.
Just at this moment, Baird announced a message, attracting all the firepower. As everyone knows, he has been out of the entertainment industry for several years. When a reporter asked him why he retired, he said bluntly: "Because my inspiration has dried up and I can no longer write good songs, so I chose to leave."
However, at this moment, he actually announced on Instagram that he will sing three songs at a.c.'s new product launch conference, and all of them are new works that have been completed recently. As for the specific details of the works, he did not introduce a single word, leaving only four simple words - stay tuned.
Are you looking forward to it? I'm looking forward to it! That was Byrd's latest masterpiece after five years, and he sang three songs in one go. Is there any news this year that could be more exciting than this? Baird's fans were so happy that they went crazy. The whole internet was in jubilation. He pushed A.C.'s new product launch to the height of everyone's attention. As for the fact that the main show was a little-known oriental model, who still remembers it? Let it be the main show. What everyone wants to see is not the model, but Baird, okay!
Lin Dan's crisis was resolved instantly, but Zhong Yuxiu stared at the explosive news and couldn't recover for a long time.
Her agent pondered, "If he wasn't absolutely sure, Auston wouldn't dare to make such a big fuss. Yuxiu, I have a feeling that this show might really become a grand event in the fashion industry. Will your failure to attend this time have a negative impact on your career? You know, this year's supermodel list is about to be rearranged, and you need more chips."
Zhong Yuxiu was a little flustered, but she didn't show it on her face. She shook her head and said, "It's too late to talk about this now. The list has been announced, and I have no chance of being shortlisted. Even if I go, do you think Auston will hire me? In the past, he might have the ability to support a brand that was about to decline, but now, he definitely can't do it. Yorkshire told me that he hasn't been able to draw a design for a long time."
Yorkshire is one of Austin's most valued students, and the information he passed on should be reliable. With this in mind, the agent can only wait and see.
…………
Dozens of highly skilled designers worked together, rushing around and completing the production, and finally managed to produce all the new products within four days. Among them, Lin Dan’s three sets of underwear were all sewn by Auston himself, and even the accessories were made by him without asking anyone else for help.
On the day of rehearsal, Lin Dan arrived at the show on time to try on clothes. Other models were gathered in a large dressing room, but she was taken into a separate lounge by Auston.
"Is the jewelry you talked about yesterday finished?" She put down her backpack, took off her clothes, and stood in front of Auston in her underwear.
Most male fashion designers are gay, and Auston is even more exaggerated, he is asexual. Lin Dan never regarded him as a man at all.
Auston turned around to face her but was stunned. After about two or three seconds, he nodded and said, "It's done. I'll help you try it on today to see the effect."
He took out an exquisite velvet gift box and glanced at Lin Dan's body. His emerald green eyes were unconsciously stained with a layer of ink. He seemed to be struggling. After a long while, he said, "You must take off all your clothes before you can wear these jewelry."
"Okay." Lin Dan took off her underwear.
Auston, who had always treated models as props to display clothes, felt flustered for the first time. He looked at Lin Dan with a serious look in his eyes, then handed her a transparent blouse as thin as a cicada's wing and asked her to put it on. Then he turned his back and unconsciously fiddled with the jewelry.
"Are you dressed?" he asked hoarsely.
"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Lin Dan said calmly.
Auston walked to the window and stared at the neon lights outside, as if he was fascinated.
After a while, Lin Dan put on her smock. He then turned around, quickly put the gorgeous jewelry on her, adjusted the position, took a picture, made a note, then threw away the pen and hurried out. Lin Dan was startled when he heard the loud sound of the door closing, but he didn't think much about it. He just changed into casual clothes and went outside to attend the rehearsal.
In terms of fame and status, she could not compare with any of the supermodels present, so she was naturally ostracized by them. But it doesn't matter, she is here to walk the runway, not to make friends, and the catwalk is very narrow and can't accommodate too many people.
After all the procedures were completed, Auston finally arrived. His hair was a little wet and his face was very pale. His dark green eyes examined every model's walk on the catwalk, but he missed Lin Dan. He didn't dare to look at her, and would avoid her every time she approached. After so many times, his expression looked very embarrassed.
Lin Dan gradually noticed his strangeness, but she didn't take it to heart because she knew how strange his temper was.
…………
The next day, the much-anticipated a·c new product launch finally began. In the brightly lit hall, an extremely wide stage composed of countless LED panels continued to shine brightly. The stage was filled with guests who came to watch the show, and each of them was of prominent background. The top executives of A.C. sat in the VIP seats in the first row.
A regular fashion show lasts between 10 and 15 minutes, but the one that Auston is about to hold will last 45 minutes, and a superstar like Baird will be invited to perform on stage, which has never happened in fashion history. This show breaks conventions and changes the status quo. If it succeeds, it will make history. If it fails, it will be infamous forever.
This is not just a grand ceremony, it is also a gamble! Can Auston win? Everyone was thinking about this question, but he was still taking the time to modify Lin Dan's clothes.
"Be careful, don't prick your hand." Seeing that Austin's fingertips were trembling a little, Lin Dan couldn't help but remind him. A diamond had fallen out of her thong, and it could have been fixed with a glue gun, but Auston insisted on sewing it on himself.
"Don't remind me, I know!" Auston's voice was a little dry. His hair had long been messy, and his usually pale cheeks were now stained with two faint red spots, as if he was very anxious. However, only he himself knew that his nervousness did not come from the upcoming show, but from the location of the broken diamond. Damn, what was he thinking? He actually sewed it right in the middle of the thin strap behind the buttocks. In this way, he had to face Lin Dan's beautiful peach buttocks all the time while sewing!
What’s worse is that in order to see the progress of sewing clearly, Lin Dan turned her head and looked at him straight. Didn't she know that when she twisted her neck, her hips would unconsciously tighten, making them appear more perky?
Auston carefully pinched the thin strap with one finger, trying his best not to touch any part of Lin Dan's skin, but doing so would only make sewing more difficult. He took a deep breath, and before he knew it, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Lin Dan thought he was worried about the press conference, so he couldn't help but comfort him: "Relax, Mr. Dodge, your design is an unparalleled work of art, you will definitely succeed."
For some reason, Auston's nervous mood was mixed with a little sweetness. He looked away, looked into Lin Dan's black and white eyes, and smiled: "Thank you, I believe in myself, but at the same time I believe in you. You have never let me down."
After saying this, he cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts and quickly sewed the broken diamond onto the thin belt.
Lin Dan turned his head and glanced, then smiled and said, "Mr. Dodge, you see, as long as you stay calm, everything will become simple."
"Yes, but the hardest thing is to stay calm." Auston said emotionally, but he was not talking about the press conference, but something else. He put a nightgown on Lin Dan's shoulders, then pushed her out of the fitting room and urged her, "Let's go, put on some makeup."
