Chapter 391 Evening Star Pajamas
There are so many people in front of Mersett Palace, which is several times more lively than during the London Fashion Week, and the people who are enthusiastic about the fashion industry are only a very small part of this fashion mecca, including movie fans, book fans and star chasers. The main body of the audience, because too many stars have passed by on the red carpet.
This Victoria's Secret annual show is much more lively and prosperous than before. Celebrities from the United Kingdom and the United States seem to regard this place as a feast for the queen and rush to arrive.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, Liam Neeson and his family, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, David Baker Mr and Mrs Ham...
As one of the heaviest guests, Duke came late, but walked very fast, almost chasing Tom Cruise and his wife into the interview area.
Under the hint of Nicole Kidman's eyes, Tom Cruise sincerely gave Duke the interview position and stood at the entrance of Mersett Palace to wait for him.
In the official announcement of Victoria's Secret, it is claimed that the design of this catwalk is inspired by Tolkien's work. What do you think?
The reporters on Fleet Street almost surrounded Duke.
Sorry, I don't know much about fashion.
Although he didn't like these people from Fleet Street, Duke knew how to answer, Tolkien is a great writer, and his works are absolutely great, and the descriptions of the strange ethnic costumes in Middle-earth are indeed Brings back a lot of associations.”
A world-renowned American director, who praised a British writer so highly, was having an appetite for Fleet Street, and someone immediately asked, Director Rosenberg, what do you think of Mr. Tolkien?
He is a great writer. The father of modern fantasy literature, he not only changed literature, but also influenced the development of the film industry. Many of Hollywood's great epic films have traces of his literary works, and now there is a chance It's a great honor to have made the Lord of the Rings trilogy into a movie by hand...
Then, Duke turned the topic to the movie and advocated for himself without hesitation, but at the same time he advocated, he must pull out the tiger skin of Tolkien.
After the interview, Duke walked out of the interview area and came to the entrance of Mersett Palace. It was found that Tom Cruise and his wife were still here waiting for him.
Congratulations, Tom.
It should be to congratulate us! Tom Cruise held Nicole Kidman and walked beside Duke, Our cooperation has been a great success again!
Yeah. Duke kept walking.
What they're talking about is Mission: Impossible 2, which basically rolled off the global market. The global box office totaled 558.9 million US dollars, which not only created Tom Cruise's highest box office record since his filming, but also made him the throne of Hollywood's top commercial superstar.
The film was a big hit, and Duke was of course happy. After all, he enjoys a third of the film's revenue share, and with his current status and status. Not only has the ability to supervise the entire operation of the film, but also is not afraid of the distribution company.
He is neither the original director, nor the vampires outside the circle who don't know the rules of the game after investing money.
The three of them walked into the large exhibition hall of Mersett Palace while chatting about The Lord of the Rings and Mission Impossible 2. Their seats are all in the front row, as if to show the closeness of their relationship, Tom? Crusted and Elijah? Wood and others changed seats, and Duke sat together.
During the chat, Nicole Kidman seemed a little unhappy compared to the high-spirited Tom Cruise.
Mary, although I'm not good at literary works.
After chatting with her a few words, Duke roughly understood the reason, and now that he and the Cruises are in the honeymoon period, he said a few words of relief, But I think Cry on the Island is definitely an excellent Works, your performance is also worthy of recognition.
Unfortunately... Nicole Kidman shook her head.
Tom Cruise immediately shook her hand comfortingly, Honey, don't be discouraged, there will always be opportunities.
Mary, Tom is right, your acting has improved tremendously.
For some reason, Duke always felt that the couple was moving in the opposite direction of their previous life. If you meet the right character, you can definitely show all the brilliance.
If Tom Cruise and his wife don't get divorced and Nicole Kidman loses sympathy points, can they win the Oscar for Best Actress? No one can tell.
However, the negative impact of the box office has already appeared.
A Little Island can be said to be Nicole Kidman's most commercially successful work ever. Duke has some impressions, as if the North American box office exceeded 100 million US dollars, but the North American box office of this film released last year was less than At $50 million, her unpopular nature in the North American market is evident.
Although the film will definitely be profitable due to the extremely low investment and the relatively good overseas box office, her return on investment is pitifully low compared to Nicole Kidman's huge reputation and high remuneration.
Hi, Tom.
Hi, David.
Before the show started, another famous couple came to say hello.
Subsequently, Tom Cruise also introduced Duke.
David, this is Director Rosenberg. Duke, this is David Beckham, a famous football star; this is Victoria Beckham, a famous singer.
Duke shook hands with the world-famous couple, who had no intention of getting involved in football, just getting to know each other, and he and Victoria Beckham pretended to be meeting for the first time.
As Duke said, he is not a good person, and he has nothing to do with upright gentlemen, but he also has his own bottom line. He has never wanted to destroy other people's families in the past.
He and Victoria Beckham were just a very ordinary time in their respective rich hunting.
But what Duke didn't expect was that when Victoria Beckham shook hands with him, a small note slipped in silently.
However, Duke didn't look at it, and handed it to Tina Fey next to him, and the female assistant threw it into the trash can.
Duke didn't know and didn't want to know what was written in the note. He and Victoria Beckham were just a one-night affair.
What's more, he and Alessandra Ambrosio had an appointment to spend two days in London after the catwalk.
This catwalk will be broadcast by Sky TV and NBC TV to Europe, North America and other regions respectively. The Lord of the Rings Studio and Victoria's Secret have invested a lot of resources, especially in the design of costumes and stages, which are full of magic. Exotic, refined and elegant does not look like a masterpiece of art in this world.
If it is another catwalk show, the stage is designed in the elf style of Ross Laurent, which will definitely look extremely abrupt, but the angel catwalk of Victoria's Secret will never be bound by the inherent style, not only the angel model will not be tense. Zhang face, even the runway has always been arranged like a dream.
The theme of the catwalk is the Angel Fairy Show. Although there is nothing directly related to The Lord of the Rings, the super show the previous year was huge. When the models wore light green, moss and crimson as the main colors, and matched with various When you walk on the catwalk with leaves and plants as patterns, you will immediately be able to evoke people's associations.
In particular, in order to set off the holy side of the elves, all the angel models wore a layer of translucent gauze outside the body, which is also in line with the costume style of the elves in the film.
Anyone who has seen the Victoria's Secret catwalk will know that although it is a catwalk, the angels of Victoria's Secret rarely only appear in dry clothes, so all kinds of elves-related accessories and even some exquisite utensils, It becomes an ornament on their body or in their hands.
For example, Adriana Lima turned into an elf maid. When she walked on the runway, she held a elf wooden bottle in her hand...
Similar kinds of things are appearing one after another. These practices that would be out of balance in ordinary fashion shows have been carefully designed by designers from Lord of the Rings Studio and Victoria's Secret. With the rich expressions of the stage and angels, not only does it not appear Abrupt, but very eye-catching.
In terms of performance guests, Victoria's Secret accepted Duke's suggestion and invited the famous Irish singer Enya. She sang a poem in Tolkien's book praising the elves in English and Quenya respectively. The composer of the poem was naturally The film's soundtrack Howard? Shaw.
Rebecca, I don't understand...
At the exit of the runway, Lori Greeley, the president of the Victoria's Secret store, looked at the company's models one by one, and asked a little puzzled, I don't understand why we should cooperate with Duke? Even if he is a company The largest individual shareholder of the company has no right to ask us to do so.”
He really doesn't have such power. Rebecca Finn echoed first, and then said, But don't forget the influence of his work, if The Fellowship of the Ring can win The Matrix Such achievements, the influence will expand infinitely, our elf clothing and accessories...
Having said that, she looked at Lori Greeley, who nodded clearly, and the moment she wanted to understand, she seemed to have seen further afield, This is still a trilogy, if the film can sell well In the next few years, our product sales are bound to soar.”
As the two said, the cooperation between Wei Micon and Duke can be expected to make profits in the future!
To this end, they even made certain changes, accepting Duke's suggestion to let Alessandro Ambrosio, who played the most important role in The Lord of the Rings, appear in the finale as a model to show the finale works.
She is wearing a nightgown as thin as a cicada's wings. The nightgown has the typical characteristics of Arwen's clothing. The translucent silk yarn is also dotted with fine gems. Against the background of the lights, it reflects the stars. , just like the original meaning of Arwen's name - Evening Star!
This nightgown, woven from Indian silk yarn with diamonds, emeralds and Ceylon gemstones, is named Evening Star!
Victoria's Secret has a price tag of $8 million for it! (To be continued ^)
