Chapter 750 The light is too dazzling
Because there is a seven-hour time difference between Paris and Beijing, even if you fly for more than 10 hours, it will still be daytime when you land.
"Private jets are more comfortable for this kind of long-term flight. In the past, even first-class cabins were not very comfortable when I went to Paris or Milan."
During the nearly 11-hour flight, Reba slept on the plane and ate two meals. Now she feels very energetic and does not feel tired at all when traveling on long-distance transportation.
"Don't be too happy. The rest of your team hasn't arrived yet. If nothing unexpected happens, you will have to wait at the airport for a while."
The plane stopped and the group was about to get off the plane. Gu Wei smiled and hit her.
His Gulfstream G550 can carry 14-19 passengers. Excluding pilots, flight attendants and other maintenance staff, it can seat more than 10 people.
The combined personal teams of Gu Wei and Reba are more than this number, and Gu Wei doesn’t want too many people on his plane to affect the experience.
So only the executive agent and a personal assistant were with Reba. Others such as makeup, styling, photography, bodyguards, etc. were all taking other flights at the same time, which could be an hour or two slower.
"Isn't it the same for you? I see that you don't have many people accompanying you on the plane."
Reba looked around and saw that Gu Wei was only surrounded by Yang Dan and a few people who had been following him. His accompanying team was much larger than hers.
Gu Wei smiled and said: "Is it possible that some people from my team have come here in advance, and there are people from my company stationed in France itself, so everything will be arranged."
"Why didn't I think of that?" Reba turned to look at her executive agent.
"The team didn't expect you to come over on Mr. Gu's plane beforehand, so it was a bit ill-considered.
We don’t have to wait at the airport, we can just go back to the hotel that the inviter has booked, and let the rest of the people come to the hotel to meet us when they arrive.”
Reba's agent explained, then turned to Gu Wei with a smile.
"However, I have to borrow Mr. Gu's photographer to take some beautiful photos of our Reba at the airport."
When celebrities attend events, various Reuters photos are indispensable. Airport photos are just the beginning. When Reba's team arrives, the first thing to do is to shoot in Paris.
Gu Wei smiled and said: "Of course no problem~"
After coming out of the airport, they got on the organizer's black Lincoln that came to pick them up. It didn't take long for Gu Wei and his party to arrive at the hotel where they were staying.
"Gu, long time no see, you are still so handsome!" A marketing director from LV came to greet him. He was a white man in his 40s, short and fat, and had been responsible for connecting with his team.
"Long time no see, Sal. You seem to have gained a little weight compared to the last time we met." The two shook hands, and Gu Wei looked him up and down and said with a smile.
"Haha, you recommended Chinese food to me last time. I went back and tried it. It was really delicious. It's normal to be a little fatter now.
I'm not a big star like you, so I don't have to worry too much about my image."
After greeting each other for a few words, Sal talked about work.
“The company’s sales in the global market have grown steadily in the past two years, with the Asia-Pacific region experiencing the most rapid growth.
According to research by professional companies, your endorsement plays a big role in it.
The company intends to create an exclusive series of products for you, from clothing to accessories, bags, etc., which can be named after you, or you can give it a special name.
What are your thoughts here? Thrall asked tentatively.
Gu Wei was not surprised when he heard what he said.
Over the years, his cooperation with LV has been quite pleasant.
LV has used his popularity to increase its sales year after year. At the same time, it has also given Gu Wei the best offline and online promotion resources, allowing his fame to spread around the world.
It can be considered a win-win situation for both parties.
"I have no objection, but to open my custom series, I have to meet two requirements."
"you say."
"First, since it is my customized series, the designed products need to pass my eyes first and I agree before they can be included in the series. Otherwise, they can only be regarded as ordinary LV products."
As a spokesperson, Gu Weicong doesn't care about the product. LV itself is a luxury product and there are many types and styles. Consumers will naturally choose what they like.
However, if he opens a customized series, the relationship between the products and Gu Wei himself will be closer. Then there will be many fans buying specifically for him. Gu Wei does not want some non-mainstream and nonsensical styles, so there must be restraints.
"There should be no problem with this. The company will have dedicated designers to design various styles that suit your personal style. It is normal for your customized series to be selected by you."
Thrall nodded, this request was not too much.
Gu Wei smiled: "One more thing, I want the corresponding series sales dividends."
Celebrity-customized series of products are not uncommon, but whether and how much dividends are paid depends entirely on the strength of the celebrity and the brand.
If it is a big-name celebrity or an unknown small brand, the brand owner will be willing to take 80% of the profit, but LV is the world's top luxury brand, one of the six blue-blooded luxury brands.
Even if it does not rely on any stars, it still has a very high reputation in the world. Even the top international superstars cannot be strong in front of LV.
"This issue is not something I can decide. It needs to be decided by the company." Sal's tone was very sincere.
"Based on our cooperation over the years, I personally think the company will agree to pay dividends, but the proportion will not be too high."
Gu Wei smiled indifferently and said, "Then let's talk to my team slowly. I think this matter will have a satisfactory result for both parties.
LV wants to make money and expand the market, so it will always give up something."
After resting in the hotel for a while, Gu Wei met LV's current president Michael Burke and creative director Nicolas Ghesquière respectively under the guidance of the staff.
The three chatted for a while, got in the car and came to today's show - the Louvre.
At this time, the outside of the show was surrounded by media reporters from all over the world, and many fans stood outside the security line.
Paris Fashion Week brings together most of the world's fashion people, and the LV show is the most important show of Fashion Week.
Since the afternoon, celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and fashion celebrities from various countries have arrived one after another.
Gu Wei and the other two got out of the car, and walked into the show naturally under the flash of countless media.
There were many people in the venue, and most of the people who came to see the show had already arrived.
The arrival of the three people unconsciously attracted the attention of countless people.
"Isn't that the main designer today, Master Nicholas?"
"Yes, he came in with Mr. Michael, the president of LV."
Since we are at the LV show, we must know the owner here.
In Paris, Nicholas and Michael are still very well-known.
"The young man in the middle must be Gu Wei, he is really LV's favorite, the president and the creative director came in together, what a great honor!"
"Who let him have the market in the Asia-Pacific region behind him, and he is also famous worldwide.
I heard that LV's market share has climbed several points in the past few years of cooperation. If you have this ability, LV is willing to give you this treatment."
Several young girls standing a little further away looked at the direction where the three people came in from the door and whispered.
"Some Hollywood international superstars are no less famous than Gu Wei, and they are more well-known in Europe and the United States. I don't see other people being so valued by brands."
"You don't understand this, the European and American markets are red oceans, and the so-called Hollywood superstars are highly replaceable, such as another spokesperson Scarlett, and there are also female stars with similar fame.
But the Asia-Pacific region, especially the Chinese market, is still a blue ocean, and Gu Wei's position there is unique and almost irreplaceable."
"He is so young, and he has achieved such results, which is really amazing, and he is so handsome, it would be great if I could get to know him."
A slightly fat white girl looked at Gu Wei's figure and said with some expectation.
Her companion's expression was quite disdainful: "Come on, he has been rumored to have affairs with female stars of the level of Scarlett and Taylor Swift, and it is said that he is Taylor's ex-boyfriend, how could he be interested in you?"
The slightly fat girl puffed out her broken chest in dissatisfaction: "I also have special skills, okay."
Reba was behind several white girls, and she heard everything they said.
Her English is also quite good, so she has no problem with listening and speaking in such occasions.
Unlike Gu Wei, Reba, as a brand ambassador, came very early, and there was no one from LV to greet her, so she had to queue up to enter the venue.
Her seat in the show was also arranged in the second row, which was relatively close to the edge.
Although she is now famous in China, Reba has almost no international fame. This brand ambassador was also obtained by relying on Gu Wei's influence, and was not valued by LV.
So in this occasion, she was like a small transparent person in the corner, and there was no acquaintance in the venue to chat with, and she looked lonely.
She listened to the discussions of people nearby, and watched Gu Wei enter the door like the sun, attracting everyone's attention, and talking to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
"This is why I didn't go to you for the Golden Rooster Award. You are too outstanding, and the light on you is too dazzling.
It's like this in China, and it's still like this when you go abroad."
Gu Wei arrived at the venue very close to the start of the show. He greeted some people he knew, and then walked to his seat, the middle of the first row, under the guidance of the staff.
"Scarlett, long time no see, you have become more beautiful!" Scarlett Johansson, another global spokesperson for LV, was sitting next to him.
"Gu, it would be great if your actions could be as reliable as your words.
Some time ago, I asked you to come to Los Angeles for a vacation, but you didn't agree."
Scarlett was wearing a golden slim dress. The close-fitting clothes showed her sexy and charming figure to the fullest. Her blonde hair was scattered, her face was white, her red lips were attractive, and the low-cut dress revealed two white and round hemispheres, which attracted Gu Wei's eyes to drift down unconsciously.
"I am too busy at work. I have to manage my own company and shoot movies. It is difficult to take time out for a vacation."
Scarlett looked at Gu Wei charmingly.
"There is no end to work, you have to learn to enjoy life."
Gu Wei shrugged: "I am still young now. I will be 30 in two years. I may slow down my work pace and enjoy life as you said."
Scarlett looked at Gu Wei's handsome features and fair and delicate skin, and her mouth curled up unconsciously.
"It's great to be young. If you don't tell me your age, it's hard to imagine that I'm less than 30 now."
"Are you saying that I look old?"
"Of course not. It makes people feel very mature when talking and doing things. His appearance and body are absolutely young and full of vitality. I am sure of this!"
Scarlett smiled and made a pun.
The two chatted for a few words, and the show began.
Although he is the spokesperson of LV, from Gu Wei's personal perspective, many LV items are very ugly.
Of course, maybe he doesn't understand fashion.
This year’s autumn and winter show was held at the Louvre Museum in Paris, with the museum’s iconic glass pyramid as the backdrop.
The models' clothes are mainly in dark colors such as black, red, and green.
The overall feeling is very retro, just like the clothes worn by the most fashionable young people in Shanghai and Beijing in the 1990s.
If you were to wear it now, nine out of ten people who would see it would say something stupid.
After the show, Gu Wei left the Louvre after dealing with the media. He returned to the hotel to rest for a while and then changed his clothes.
A special car was already waiting downstairs to take him to the closing thank-you reception hosted by Louis Vuitton.
Gu Wei has been able to handle this kind of situation very well over the years. After arriving, he chatted and laughed with the eldest son of LV and several powerful people in the Paris fashion industry.
"Is Mr. Bernard not here today?"
Gu Wei clinked the wine glasses with Antoine Arnault, took a small sip and asked.
"My father is getting older and has been feeling unwell recently. He rarely attends such occasions."
"It's a pity that I couldn't see Mr. Bernard when I came to Paris this time. I should pay him a visit when I have time."
Bernard Arnault, the world's godfather of luxury goods and founder of LVMH Group, just cooperated with LV five years ago. This wise old man left a very good impression on Gu Wei.
The Antoine chatting with him in front of him was Bernard's eldest son.
"Father appreciates you very much. If you go to see him, he will be very happy."
The two were drinking and chatting when Gu Wei suddenly saw something and frowned.
"Sorry, excuse me."
After saying this, Gu Wei walked from the center of the reception to a corner.
Just now he saw Reba standing over there in a white dress. Opposite her was a fat white male who looked to be in his 40s and somewhat bald.
The other party seemed to be talking to her, and Reba had an impatient expression on her face.
"This gentleman, it's not a gentleman to touch or touch a lady, and this lady is still my female companion. What do you want to do!"
When Gu Wei walked this way, the conversation between the two seemed to become more intense. The bald man stretched out his hand as if to grab Reba's arm, but Gu Wei grabbed his wrist.
Reba had some panic on her face, but when she saw Gu Wei's figure, she immediately felt supported and breathed a sigh of relief.
The bald man obviously knew Gu Wei. He looked a little panicked and explained quickly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I didn't know this lady was your female companion. I just wanted to buy her a drink.
And I think this lady is very beautiful, and I want to ask her to shoot the cover of my magazine."
Gu Wei turned to look at Reba.
The other party nodded: "He did invite me to drink, but I didn't want to.
He said that as long as I go out with him at night, he can let me appear in his magazine and make me a celebrity in the Paris fashion world."
Gu Wei's face darkened after hearing this.
"What do you call this gentleman? I am ignorant. It seems that you must be a powerful figure in the Paris fashion world?"
The bald man's head was dripping with sweat. He wanted to leave quickly, but Gu Wei was still holding his wrist.
He knew in his heart that with his identity and status, he could never offend Gu Wei, a big star, and besides, he was also a guest of LV.
"Mr. Gu, these are all misunderstandings. I really don't know that this lady has anything to do with you."
While the three of them were talking, what happened here also attracted the attention of others.
LV president Michael Burke came over, looked at Gu Wei's movements and asked.
"Gu, what happened?"
"Mr. Michael, it's all my fault. I offended Mr. Gu's female companion."
The bald man saw Michael coming and quickly asked him for help.
Michael looked at the other person and frowned, then thought for a moment: "You are the editor-in-chief of [Lusa] magazine, your name is"
"John, my name is John, Mr. Michael.
I was also present when you had dinner with Boss Melinda last time."
"Mr. John, you so offended our most distinguished guest at the LV banquet. I want to discuss the cooperation with [Lusa] magazine, and I will explain the reason to Ms. Melinda."
After Michael finished speaking, the bald man's face turned pale with fright.
"Mr. Michael, I was wrong. It was my fault. You can punish me however you want. Don't affect our cooperation."
He is a small editor-in-chief. If the cooperation between the magazine and LV is canceled due to his own reasons, his job will definitely be lost.
And if you offend the LV Group, you won’t be able to get involved in the Paris fashion circle.
"It's useless for you to tell me. I have to forgive you."
John looked at Gu Wei with a pitiful expression.
"Apologise to my female companion!" Gu Wei said calmly.
"Madam, it's my fault, it's my fault. I drank some wine and my mind is not clear. Please forgive me."
Reba was a little at a loss at this time, and she couldn't bear to see the other party's appearance.
"Forget it"
Gu Wei waved his hand when he heard this.
The bald man left with a lot of thanks.
