Chapter 1211 Four Photos
Putting the dress and accessories back into the box, Laila said: "You said before that this is your first time in Hollywood?"
"Yes. I have long heard that there are many interesting places here, Laila. You have to introduce me." Li Zhimu took a sip of the tea brought by Demi, and the authentic Biluochun made him squint his eyes comfortably. I have to admit that this great foreign director really enjoys life.
"Of course, this is necessary." Laila agreed with a smile, and then called Xiao Yi with a phone call. When it comes to understanding this side, she absolutely believes that there is no one more suitable than him.
And his mouth is even more powerful, it can make flesh grow from his bones. In addition, he is an Oriental himself and has a lot of fame in Hollywood. It is no problem to go to places that are inaccessible to ordinary people. If he acts as a guide to accompany the guests, they will never be disappointed.
After Xiao Yi received the notification, he quickly ran up from downstairs. After knowing that he was going to take the young master from Dongfang out to play, he immediately agreed in a hurry. You can eat, drink, and play with me, and you don't have to spend any money. It's such a comfortable job, isn't it?
"Let's go, buddy!" Xiao Yi, who was familiar with him, met Li Zhimu, who was also familiar with him. After two words, the two of them were already talking to each other.
"The boss made the right choice when he asked me to come and play with you! It's not my brother who will brag with you, but by following him, I guarantee that you can walk sideways in Hollywood. No matter which beauty you fall in love with, my brother can help you get back the red line. Li
Zhimu waved his hands after what he said: "Forget about the beauty. If my old man finds out, he will have to skin me." Several
people left the office laughing.
After everyone left, Laila's eyes were on the box and she didn't move away for a while.
The reason why she wanted this costume was related to the box office of her movie. She doesn't want to hype up her wedding, but she doesn't object to hype up her wedding dress, especially this haute couture dress from the East.
She has been fond of this ancient skill since her previous life, and now she has an opportunity. The world is paying attention to this dress because of her wedding. At this time, through the dress, she can make things more fermented.
Nowadays, the movie's box office has reached close to 2.9 billion, but the future of the box office is not optimistic. According to her calculations and the predictions of some people in the film industry, a box office of 2.95 billion would be the peak. Although the difference is only a few tens of millions, unless a miracle happens, the shrinking box office will definitely stop at less than 2.95 billion.
Even this box office is much higher than the original prediction. But after the movie was released for a few months, I really didn't have the ability to continue.
Some media outlets felt sorry for Laila, and she herself felt even more unwilling. That's why she called Xuanji Embroidery Workshop and asked them to make the dress as soon as possible so that she could put it together before the end.
Whether she can raise the box office depends on whether her plan this time can be implemented smoothly!
Her plan was not complicated, it was just to promote this exquisite oriental costume that could be called a treasure.
Westerners have always felt that the East is mysterious, and many people are also very interested in everything about the East. Oriental beauties, oriental clothes, oriental culture, everything can fascinate them.
The East indeed has too much heritage, and if you take out any of them, foreigners will scream incredulously.
Laila's costume is undoubtedly very precious and beautiful, and it will attract many people who are interested in the East. And beautiful things will always be loved by people, even if they don't understand its connotation, it can't take away people's ability to appreciate it.
The reason for hyping up the dress this time is, on the one hand, to be associated with the movie, which can drive a final blow to the box office. On the one hand, we can also take the opportunity to promote the magical embroidery of the East in this land.
Laila didn't know how many kinds of embroidery there were in the East. She only knows that there are four famous embroideries: Su embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Shu embroidery and Guangdong embroidery. Her dress is made from Suzhou embroidery, and the auspicious birds and beasts embroidered on it look like they can run off the fabric at any time.
French embroidery is also famous. Janet often likes to use some gorgeous French embroidery in her designs. Not just her, many high-end brands use many such designs, which are very popular among high-end customers.
Oriental embroidery pays attention to smoothness, while French embroidery pays more attention to three-dimensionality. While Oriental embroidery is more delicate and delicate, French embroidery has more materials and will add beads, ribbons, sequins and gemstones.
In fact, Indian embroidery is also quite famous, but they have more national characteristics, such as religious color and love of gold.
Laila has always regretted that although Eastern embroidery has a longer history and has more varieties, it is always inferior to others in terms of modern inheritance and protection of the embroidery craft.
She believes that this situation is related to the fact that embroidery has not tapped out more profits. If embroidery can bring more benefits, more people will definitely pay attention to it, and then carry forward this craft.
If this hype is successful, not only will her box office be improved, but her embroidery will also be able to catch a ride and gain a lot of attention around the world.
She didn't dare to say that a single hype could make embroidery popular, nor was she confident enough to think that she could do something on her own that countless people had failed to do. But it cannot be denied that her identity does take advantage of her. She can stand in a higher position and let the national essence of embroidery become familiar among high-end people, so that she can avoid having to think about certain embroidery. French embroidery.
So, a few days later, Laila posted a set of four photos on her Facebook page. As soon as the photo came out, the media and people who saw it went crazy.
"Oh my god! What did I see?"
"It's so beautiful!"
"Is this an oriental dress? How can it be so beautiful?"
In a short period of time, thousands of messages were left on Laila's account, and There are many new messages appearing every minute.
There is no other reason than that she posted four photos of her wearing Xuanji Embroidery Studio's oriental dresses!
She was originally an excellent photographer, and big brands used to ask her to take photos of their products. Later, she was too busy and couldn't spare the time, so she gradually stopped taking photos. She designed and composed the photos this time. Among the dozens of photos, she found four that she was satisfied with, and then put them up after intensive editing.
You can imagine how exquisite and beautiful these four photos are.
The bright red dress, the vivid embroidery, the accessories full of oriental charm... every detail in the picture makes it difficult to find flaws.
Oriental clothing is definitely the most suitable for Orientals. The good thing about Laila is that she inherited the black hair from her grandmother and her own understanding of Oriental culture. Therefore, the photos she took will not look out of place like a child wearing adult clothes.
Chapter 1212 is popular again.
If she thought she was the only one in the photo, she might not have caused such a big sensation. What's important is that it's not just her in the photo, but also her fiancé Roy Ji-Sing! So these photos are not just random photos, but "wedding photos"!
Roy has an authentic Western appearance, with a darker outline. Laila thought he was not suitable for Eastern clothing, so she simply didn't want to order one for him. Therefore, what he appears in the photo is not the clothes that match the dress, but...Thor's, Captain America's, Iron Man's, and a strong and funny Hulk Locke outfit.
In four photos, Roy dressed up as four heroes. In each picture, the two people seem to have been confused in time and space. The image of the Western superhero and the Eastern bride are surprisingly integrated.
In the first picture, the two people stand with their backs facing each other. Their overlapping backs divide the quiet water town in the east and the bustling city in the west into two parts. Lila's background is a water town, while Roy, dressed as Captain America, is a city. The two are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, who miss each other but cannot see each other. A picture can just show the lingering pathos of Romeo and Juliet.
In the second picture, an invisible translucent hand took Laila into the air. She stretched out her hand, but she was always a punch away from the Iron Man dressed as Roy below.
A third shot of Lyra sitting on the Hulk's broad shoulders, arms outstretched to guide him. In the fourth picture, Laila pretended to be struggling to pull out Thor's hammer that was standing on the ground, causing Thor to laugh and look at her with gentle eyes.
Different superheroes and Laila, who is also wearing an oriental dress, each photo can make the viewer imagine a love story in which a superhero saves the world and true love comes together. It is this kind of storytelling and visually striking colors that made this set of photos explode as soon as they were posted.
I believe that many people who like superheroes will fantasize about becoming a hero or having an unforgettable love with a hero. Laila's set of photos fulfilled one of their dreams and showed them that photos can still be taken in this way.
Of course, the photos will be popular in the media and on the Internet, and the more reasons are the exquisite oriental costumes and the good looks of the two.
Several superhero actors are actually quite good-looking themselves, especially young men like Captain America and bohemian uncles like Iron Man. The Hulk may be a little inferior, but who says people don't rely on their looks to make a living? The photo of Laila sitting on Locke's shoulder pointing out the country has been interpreted as the entanglement of Beauty and the Beast.
The photo went viral, the oriental dress went viral, even Roy became famous.
I don't know who started it, but photos with superheroes began to circulate on the Internet. Many people posted photos on FB that imitated Laila's photos.
Superhero costumes are not hard to find, and many comic book fans have their own collections. It doesn't matter if you don't have one. The most indispensable thing in Hollywood is the small shops that rent out such costumes. Which superhero you want to find there can't be found?
The topic of superheroes became a lot more lively for a while. Due to the recent astonishing box office performance of "Avengers", many people are still thinking about the heroes in the movie. So in this spontaneous imitation, the heroes appearing in the Avengers became the most imitated group.
Now that there are so many imitators, many people who are aroused can't help but rush to the cinema again to review the film before it is released.
There are also those who were not too interested in superheroes originally, but found it interesting to see Lila's photos and recent imitation photos. They finally entered the theater to see how handsome the superhero who is loved by so many people is. To what extent.
Under such circumstances, the box office of "Avengers" once again reared its head amid constant decline.
Regarding this trend, some media pointed out that the so-called "wedding photos" are simply a gimmick for publicity, an ugly, vile and clumsy performance that deceives the public.
"Obviously, after she saw that the gap at the box office was only a small difference, she finally showed her claws again and used her extraordinary wisdom in planning and promotion." This is the conclusion given by the media,
and It has been recognized by many people in the industry.
But so what?
Laila didn't write a word to promote the movie, nor did she say anything to hype the movie. You say her behavior is just hype, but which film would not be willing to hype it up if it has money?
The public and the media have completely different perspectives. People don't care too much about hype or not, so what if Laila does hype? Her photos are so beautiful and can attract so many people to imitate them. If you don't like any movie, let them speculate on it too!
Some movies always hype up relationships, such as the male protagonist falling in love with the female protagonist, or the male protagonist falling in love with the female protagonist, or the female protagonist falling in love with the male partner... it's all that messy stuff over and over again. So many people don't believe those things anymore. When they see someone dating someone, their first reaction is: Do they have any movies or TV shows to be broadcast recently?
When information appears about who broke up with whom, it will also make people wonder whether a certain movie or movie has been released or has finished playing.
Just saying that falling in love is still good, some actors will use more tricks to attract attention in order to increase the popularity of the topic, some of which even challenge people's bottom line of acceptance. But they don't care. As long as they can get attention, they can be sprayed. It's better than not being able to get a splash at all, right?
After Laila saw the feedback, the smile on her face never disappeared. The power of four photos exceeded her imagination and brought her better profits than expected.
The rise in movie box office is obvious. At the same time, Oriental costumes and exquisite embroidery have also inadvertently changed many Westerners' prejudices against the Orient. Some people who always viewed the Orient with the eyes of a hundred years ago have now I discovered that there are such exquisite handmade products in that country.
Not ceramics, not treasures collected in museums, but embroidery works created with needles and threads, as if they have their own soul!
Janet was also one of the people who was fascinated by embroidery. After seeing those photos, she immediately flew to Hollywood. She didn't even care about her son and studied those beautiful patterns and the meanings they contained in Beverly Hills. Costumes with oriental charm.
She was so excited. She had always liked to use some embroidery in her designs. But like many designers, it is all gorgeous French embroidery, using a lot of gems, beads, sequins and other elements in the design.
This kind of design will certainly make the clothes look very stylish and classy, but for her, she has played with too many things and has long wanted to change her look.
Chapter 1213: What do you want?
Janet has actually used some oriental embroidery before, but they were all very simple. Her mother is an Oriental, and she can also embroider some things, but she is not a professional embroiderer, so the impression left on Janet is that the embroidery patterns she makes such as sachets are relatively simple and have a more ethnic style.
But this time the embroidery was different. After seeing it, she used more than ten exclamations to express her appreciation and love for the dress, which even made Laila marvel at her vocabulary. After hearing that the person who made the costumes was still in Hollywood, Janet immediately invited the person in front of her.
There is no doubt that Li Zhimu likes the essence of his country very much. He not only owns an embroidery workshop, but also has his own kiln in JDZ. In addition, the gallery also collects a lot of traditional Chinese paintings and calligraphy. Among his close friends, there are also many people who are engaged in related work. He can even find a few Feng Shui masters.
It can be said that he is interested in anything related to the national quintessence passed down from ancient times, and he wants to promote it with his own hands.
It was a rare trip to Hollywood for him, and he originally wanted to have a good time. In particular, Laila arranged for him Xiao Yi, who was also a master who knew how to eat and play. The two of them plus two bodyguards really had a great time.
What he didn't expect was that during the few days he was playing, the clothes he brought became popular all of a sudden, and it was so popular that he couldn't figure it out at all. If he hadn't accidentally seen the outfit he brought on a TV show, he wouldn't have believed that it had become so popular in just a few days!
Later, with Xiao Yi's explanation, he learned the whole story, and his admiration for Laila rose to that of a fan.
Does he want to develop the embroidery workshop?
Of course! Even in my wildest dreams! But he can't advertise like mass-produced small commodities, because this kind of thing cannot be produced with energy. Therefore, he could only position his embroidery workshop at a relatively high level, so that it could at least play a publicity role among the upper class of celebrities.
But everyone has a dream of becoming famous, and he is no exception. He also thinks that one day he can make the embroidery workshop like other luxury goods, so that people need to make reservations for several years to get it, and can use it A treasure to show off to friends.
Unfortunately, the domestic environment is there, and even if he does his best, he can only achieve the current scale. This has a lot to do with the thinking of the Chinese people. Many people, especially the nouveau riche, only trust foreign luxury goods and do not appreciate, or cannot appreciate, the good things rich in their own country's heritage.
Can they appreciate foreign luxury goods? In fact, it's not like that. They just see the price and the logo that they can show off.
Li Zhimu knew that if one day the products of Xuanji Embroidery Shop became famous internationally like famous foreign luxury brands, those people would chase his embroidery as crazy as they chased foreign brands.
Now there are a few photos of Laila, which immediately elevate the style of that outfit. Once she tells where the clothes are custom-made, it is guaranteed that the door of Xuanji Embroidery Workshop will be broken down by people coming to buy it before long.
Even major Hollywood directors are willing to spend hundreds of millions on custom-made clothing, it must be good stuff! Not only is he a great director, but he is also the eldest daughter of a super-rich family. Would it be bad if even she liked it and was willing to spend a lot of money to order something?
After learning about it, Li Zhimu was so excited that he ate two bowls of rice at noon. Does this opportunity mean that he can develop his country's embroidery and his own brand to other countries in the world?
After listening to his thoughts, Xiao Yi gave him a suggestion: "It's useless to ask anyone else for a matter like this. You have to ask Laila!" "Looking to her?" Li Zhimu was stunned: "What do you mean? Asking her media to help promote it?"
"That's just one of the aspects." Xiao Yi hooked his shoulder and chuckled: "It's not surprising that you don't know about it in the East. My boss is the most powerful not only in making movies, but also in She is definitely a good planner. Where do you think her high box office comes from? A large proportion of it has to do with her ability to plan and promote." As he spoke, he poked Li Zhimu obscenely with his elbow
After two clicks, he showed a smile that "all men understand": "You know Victoria's Secret, right?" "Why did Victoria's Secret become the world's first underwear brand? It was created by our boss. Even if you are right I don't know much about women's underwear. You should know about Victoria's Secret Angels, right? You should know about their annual catwalk shows, right? That's the idea of our boss!" Of course Li Zhimu knew what Victoria's Secret was, but he didn't expect that Victoria's
Secret Angel is still an idea created by Lyla. He is a businessman, and he can naturally understand at a glance how much the Victoria's Secret Angel has promoted the Victoria's Secret market. It can be said that without the appearance of Victoria's Secret Angels, there would be no Victoria's Secret, which is now the world's number one!
"You're right! Thanks, buddy!" After thanking Li Zhimu, he no longer had any intention of shopping around and went straight to Laila's company.
After listening to his story, Laila nodded in surprise to show that she understood his thoughts: "What surprised me is that you actually came to me about this matter. So, what do you want me to do? Tell everyone that Is it the embroidery from Xuanji Embroidery Workshop?"
Li Zhimu sat across from the desk, and the impulse and excitement when she first came in were suffocated by her question.
If you want to promote the embroidery workshop, all you need is Laila to say one sentence. But that's not what he really wants, or he wants something more than that simple.
To be honest, Xuanji Embroidery Shop can't handle enough business every year. In this day and age, there are really too few good embroiderers. If the skills did not meet his requirements, he would not take the person into his embroidery workshop, no matter what the relationship or background was.
This means that it is impossible for him to ship as much as possible.
Nowadays, the embroidery shop only accepts the top customers from the capital, and the friends they bring are very busy. Those with slightly lower status need to make appointments far in advance. Even if Laila really helps them publicize the name of Xuanji Embroidery Workshop, it is impossible for them to add more orders to their already busy work.
In order to rush the production for Laila, he had put off all the work that could be put off.
Even if Laila promotes his brand, there will not be enough products to compete for the market. His wish to make Xuanji Embroidery Workshop a world-class luxury brand will not be easily achieved.
Chapter 1214 The Direction of Longing
After thinking about it, Li Zhimu struggled and said: "I can't say clearly. As you know, each piece of embroidery in our embroidery workshop takes a lot of time to embroider. If there is no way to make it, When you embroider in large quantities, it's not that easy to make a name for yourself."
As for the price being expensive, that was out of his mind. Originally, they had no intention of making money from the public. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that they had no other way. Even if they embroider the simplest silk handkerchief, it is impossible to satisfy every customer who comes to their door. Instead, they will delay the needs of big customers, which is really not worth the gain.
Laila felt like she understood what he meant. Maybe Li Zhimu herself didn't know what she wanted, but she really understood. To put it simply, after seeing the popularity of the dress, he thought it was a good opportunity for publicity, but it would be a pity for him to use it himself, and it would be even more pity to waste it in vain, so he didn't know what to do with it.
"I am of 1/4 oriental descent, and I have been fond of that distant country in the east since I was a child. The dress you brought this time has been of great benefit to me, so I can make a plan for you." In Shang
Yan Shang, she can't do it in vain, otherwise her plan will be too worthless and will harm her own interests. But if money is required, it is probably not something the man in front of me can afford. Even though he is quite rich and his family has a strong backing, he may be able to go sideways in the East, but here he will not have much influence on Laila.
But for the sake of "the motherland", she is still willing to help promote embroidery.
That's right, it's not about helping Xuanji Embroidery Workshop, but about helping the craft of embroidery!
Why not promote the embroidery workshop? In fact, it is the same as Li Zhimu's hesitation. Even if he is publicized, he will not get much benefit. At most, his embroidery workshop can be famous for a period of time. Just like when the half-finished embroidery was first exposed, many media in the East were as curious about Xuanji Embroidery Studio. At that time, the phone was constantly being buzzed with reporters asking for interviews.
But when the heat gradually subsided and new news emerged, the public forgot about the matter. The public no longer cares, which means reporters no longer need to devote energy to digging for news. So Xiufang's phone finally went quiet again.
It's the same thing now. If Laila revealed that her oriental wedding dress was at Xuanji Embroidery Workshop, or specifically named her by name when interviewing her. The name of the embroidery workshop will definitely appear in the media around the world in a short period of time, and it will also become a new focus of attention.
But no matter how lively things are, the heat will subside. When more interesting and attractive news comes out, the embroidery workshop, no matter how popular and attracting attention, will return to calm again. Of course, their reputation will still be greatly improved. After all, it has been so overwhelmingly publicized abroad, so its style and worth must be much higher.
It's not that Li Zhimu doesn't know this. He is a smart businessman, but at the same time he is also a person who truly loves the inherited culture of his country. Increasing the reputation of Xuanji Embroidery Workshop is only good for itself, but if the entire embroidery industry is improved this time, it will be good for the entire country.
Anyway, the heat of the matter will eventually subside. Rather than leaving this opportunity to increase the reputation of my embroidery workshop, it is better to promote the quintessence of embroidery to more people.
His initial struggle was that he hadn't thought of this yet, but when he thought of it, he immediately became enlightened.
"Laila, with this east wind, do you think it is possible for our country's embroidery to reach a higher stage?" "
Of course!" Laila told him the answer without thinking.
Perhaps she is embarrassed to say it herself, but her influence around the world and her ability to attract attention are indeed very powerful. Especially now that the movie has not been released yet, take advantage of this moment to catch the little tail before the movie is released, and you can let her borrow the best east wind!
"What to do?!" Li Zhimu saw how sure she said it. If the remaining reason hadn't warned him, he would have been so excited that he would have hugged her and kissed her hard.
Laila smiled: "Don't worry, before that I need to understand your thoughts. In what direction do you want to push embroidery? Luxury goods? Artwork? Or become the darling of haute couture like French embroidery?"
"Is there a difference?" Li Zhimu found that he could understand her words, but he couldn't understand them in detail. In his opinion, those are pretty much the same, right? Aren't they all selling things very expensive?
"How should I put it?" Laila thought for a moment: "If you are making luxury goods, it is better to use brands to promote them. But you also have to expand production as much as possible. No matter how small the output is, how many dollars will it cost every year? Ten thousand pieces, right? If you don't have a product, how can you talk about the market? If you don't have a market, how can you get recognition?"
Li Zhimu seemed to understand a little better: "What about the artwork?" "
In fact, embroidery is now in a The direction is towards works of art. We only pursue quality, not quantity, so that each item can become a treasure worth collecting, and the owner can show it off to his friends and guests." "That's probably the case now, as
a As gifts, embroidery is still very popular at home and abroad." Li Zhimu nodded. Many of his customers sometimes also have such requests, making handicrafts as collections or gifts.
"Yes. If promoted in this direction, embroidery will be brought into more people's homes as a work of art. But is that really what you want?" Li Zhimu was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"When you run the embroidery shop business, you should hope that more people will use embroidery instead of shelving it on the shelf, right?" Laila felt that judging from the many embroidery girls he had recruited, if it was used to make works of art, Annual shipments may be many times higher. It takes enough time to make a set of clothes to make a bunch of crafts.
Li Zhimu gave her a thumbs up: "Who says it's not the case? Laila, you are really my soulmate! As you said, I really can't stand those people who put embroidery up for display and waste. Embroidery What is the purpose of appearance? It is used to make people look beautiful, not to put them somewhere to gather dust!"
Laila chuckled: "Yes, you are right. So I think if we do promotion , you can consider moving towards advanced customization."
"Like what I'm doing now?"
"No, the kind that stands on a bigger stage." Laila showed a smile that said "I'm not afraid that you won't take the bait": "Don't you want to see Oriental embroidery become the new favorite in the show?"
Li Zhimu's eyes lit up: "Please give me advice!"
He's stupid to not think about it! Let embroidery appear on the catwalk, be worn on the bodies of those models, and appear in the eyes of fashion magazines and fashion people around the world. It is simply wonderful, isn't it?
Chapter 1215. What should Roy do?
The fashion industry in the East started relatively late, so there are simply too few designers who can have their own shows internationally. But even those few people will want to carry forward the oriental style so that people from other countries can be more shocked by the beauty of their own country.
It's not like embroidery has not appeared on some runways. It's just that those designers are very young and their careers are only in their infancy, so they don't really receive much attention. The arrogance of Western fashion people also means that even if the designs of Eastern designers are very distinctive, they will not be recognized by the Western fashion industry.
Laila didn't explain much to him, but brought him directly to Janet.
They had met before and had a pleasant conversation. Janet has been staying in Hollywood these days, praising that Oriental dress. Just look at the many design drafts around her. That outfit became her muse and gave her too much inspiration. Let her completely forget about her husband and son, and only focus on new designs.
People who can devote all their energy to their work are usually the more successful ones. Janet is like this, and Lila is like this too. As long as they are facing their work, they can forget about food and sleep, and don't care about anything else.
When Laila led Zhimu Li back to her residence in Beverly Hills, Janet was painting in the studio.
"Mom, do you have time now?" She carefully stepped over the manuscript papers scattered on the floor, and climbed over "thousands of rivers and mountains" before finally reaching the table where her mother worked.
Janet then raised her head, took off her glasses, and rubbed her bloodshot eyes: "Laila, dear, why are you back so early today?"
Laila frowned at her disapprovingly: "You have heavy dark circles again. How long did you sleep last night?"
Janet laughed twice, and then said: "You slept! By the way, why did you come back?" She stretched out her head and saw that she was still looking for a place to stay, struggling to come here. Moving man.
man?
The man you brought home?
And not Roy? !
"Laila! You have a new boyfriend?" Janet exclaimed. "What about Roy?"
A lot of thoughts were running through her mind at that moment. The daughter fell in love with another man, and Roy left sadly. Eli cried in tears all day long when he could not see his father...
Then Laila and her new boyfriend gave birth to another child, a child more like an Oriental. ! It would be best if it's a girl, with black hair and beautiful black eyes. Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that this seemed pretty good, right? Who would think there are too many cute and beautiful grandchildren?
Laila didn't know that she had so many random thoughts in an instant. If she knew, she would probably be pissed half to death. But even so, the words "new boyfriend" still stifled her enough.
"Mom, this is Li Zhimu! You just met him a few days ago, didn't you?"
"Li Zhimu?" Janet only saw the figure of an oriental man just now, but she didn't notice what he looked like. "It's not bad if it's Li Zhimu. At least he's pretty cute."
"Thank you for the compliment." Li Zhimu finally came to Laila's side at this time. When he heard that he was praised, he also showed a happy expression. smile. "But it's better not to describe a man as cute. I prefer to be described as cool, handsome, or sexy." Janet thought
he was joking and smiled happily: "Okay , the cool and handsome gentleman Mr. Li Zhimu welcomes you to be Laila's new boyfriend." "...
" Laila felt that she did not overturn the table at this time, which was really a sign of great self-control. What should you do if you encounter such an unreliable mother? What the hell, just a new boyfriend?
"Don't make trouble, Mom, I'm bringing Mr. Li to talk to you about something." She was really glad that Roy wasn't here and didn't hear her, otherwise she would have had a headache.
Janet said "Huh", looked at Li Zhimu, and then at her daughter: "Not a new boyfriend?"
"No!" Laila almost burst out of anger.
Li Zhimu was originally a little embarrassed by Janet's words, but when he saw Laila's voice changing with anger, he couldn't help but snicker beside him. He thought that the great director had always been so confident and calm, but he didn't expect that there were people she couldn't deal with.
"Actually, it's like this." He simply repeated what he had just said to Laila. Originally he didn't know what she was paying attention to, but when he saw Janet's incident, he got a clue.
Who is Janet? She is a figure in the fashion industry in the United States and even the world. The brand she created has now become one of the favorite brands of upper class society and Hollywood actresses. In addition to women who have fixed endorsement brands and have to wear other clothes, in Whenever you attend an important occasion, you will want to wear a dress designed by her.
Her talent is unquestionable and her taste and fashion sense are amazing. Every year during Fashion Week, she always brings an unexpected trend to the fashion world. This is the most incredible thing for fashionistas. It seems that whatever she likes will become popular next.
So much so that a very respected fashion guru once said that she was not at the forefront of fashion, but that she created fashion. When she shows up at Fashion Week with new pieces, her designs become fashionable!
Li Zhimu felt that Laila brought him here because she wanted the embroidery to appear on Janet's work. Through her designs, she promotes the art of embroidery.
He was right, that was what Laila had in mind.
In her heart, embroidery needs publicity, but Xuanji Embroidery Workshop must also publicize it.
They do not conflict in propaganda. Not only do they not conflict, they also complement each other. Today's society is a brand-building society. If you have a brand, you can make more money, that's for sure.
The embroidery Laila wants to promote must specifically refer to hand embroidery. Compared with machine embroidery and hand embroidery, there is basically no comparison. Therefore, in terms of mass production, hand embroidery or Xuanji Embroidery Workshop cannot do it.
Since this is not possible, and it is very difficult to expand, we can only focus on some higher-end places, such as the clothing designed by Janet.
After listening to Li Zhimu's words, Janet also understood: "I have been thinking about this issue recently." She rummaged through a few design drafts piled aside: "These are some of my designs. Look at what God has designed."
Chapter 1216 2.98 Billion
Lila took it in her hand and saw that what was drawn on the white manuscript paper was a skirt that was obviously a mixture of Chinese and Western styles. It is said to be a mixture of Chinese and Western styles because the collar and placket have an oriental style and some embroidery, while other parts have more of a Western feel.
"This feels a bit weird." She was not very optimistic about this design. It is a good idea to fuse Chinese and Western characteristics, but the one in front of me is not done very well. It feels like the mixture is too abrupt, as if it was forced together.
Janet took the design draft and sighed softly: "I don't think it's right either. I obviously have a lot of ideas in my mind, but the taste changes when I put it on paper, and it completely loses the feeling I want. Why is that dress of yours It looks good? What's wrong?" Every time she couldn't find inspiration, she would ask her daughter for her ideas, and this time she encountered difficulties was no exception.
Laila handed the design draft to Li Zhimu and wanted to hear his opinion.
This put Li Zhimu in a dilemma. He might be able to talk about a lot of things related to embroidery at length, and he could even explain each era, the origin and history of each type of embroidery clearly. But this kind of...
"I don't understand this either." He smiled bitterly.
How could a man like him know much about women's clothes? Even when buying clothes, I just throw out the card, let alone the design draft.
Laila smiled and shook her head, feeling that she had made a common sense mistake. Who says that the boss of the embroidery workshop will definitely know this?
She looked through several design drafts and found that they basically had the same problem, that is, the places that should be integrated were not integrated, the connection method was too rigid, and... wait
!
She suddenly felt as if she had found the problem.
"Mom, I think your idea of merging Eastern and Western styles is good. But your understanding of Western style is far greater than your understanding of Eastern culture, so in your design, the Eastern style you understand is not the real Oriental style."
In fact, the ones she designed are not ugly. Perhaps in the eyes of some Westerners, the clothes are still very beautiful, but in the eyes of Laila and Li Zhimu, or just any Oriental, they may be a weird design.
Janet had also tried oriental-style clothes before, but at that time it was a simple style without these embroideries. Now that she has added them, the problem has arisen.
Janet grimaced: "What should I do? Should I learn Eastern culture now?" She is already a grandmother. Is it too late to find a teacher to teach her now?
And when she comes back to design after she has learned it, will she still have inspiration by then?
At first, she did not study Eastern culture like Laila because she felt that the things there were too difficult. Whether it was Chinese characters or history, every item seemed to be bullying foreigners. Now that I think about it, maybe I really should have learned some lessons at that time. Even Laila learned so well, so she couldn't be too far behind, right?
"There's no need for that." Laila is not opposed to living and learning, but her main job is still Western-style advanced customization. She may put aside the Eastern style at some point, and she doesn't expect her to. You can always maintain the enthusiasm you want to study.
She turned to Li Zhimu: "Isn't it convenient for me to take some photos of the finished products or patterns from your embroidery workshop for her reference?" She knew that this
request might be a bit excessive, and the patterns were considered "commercial secrets" for the embroidery workshop. "level stuff. But Janet knew too little about embroidery, and the oriental embroideries that appeared on her design drafts were all biased toward Western patterns, which is why her designs looked strange.
But we really can't blame her. Firstly, she doesn't know much about Eastern culture, and secondly, she doesn't see much about embroidery patterns. How is it possible to design an oriental embroidery pattern by relying on guessing and a Western perspective?
So Laila wanted to come up with some tricks to give Janet a little more exposure and understanding, so that she wouldn't design some weird embroidery again.
Li Zhimu unexpectedly agreed: "That's no problem. But the previous drawings are gone. I'll ask someone to design a few new ones, okay?" Laila asked curiously: "Don't worry
. Is the pattern leaked?"
"It doesn't matter if it's leaked." Li Zhimu grinned, with white teeth that looked even more dazzling against his wheat-colored skin.
"Each pattern in our embroidery workshop will only be made once. We will destroy the used ones directly to ensure that they will not appear on another embroidery. We will not use these in your works. No. We don't trust your confidentiality, but we want to ensure that each of our customers gets a unique piece of embroidery in the world. Of course, if you want to use it in design, that's no problem." His words made Laila
immediately Understand his ambition. It seems that the day he built the embroidery workshop, he had already decided to send it to the highest position.
Being able to make such a decision is partly due to his powerful methods, but it is also related to the backstage he has. Without strong support behind it, it is not that simple to realize one person's idea.
Thanks to the speed and convenience of the Internet and the power of the embroidery workshop designers, some newly designed patterns were delivered to Janet's hands within a few days. Moreover, Li Zhimu also found some patterns that were circulated outside, were easier to find, and were more representative.
In order to do the best job this time, he even brought several designers over directly, and they personally explained the meaning of some patterns to Janet. The next step is to see how she understands those patterns and uses them in her own designs.
Laila arranged everything and stopped asking about things over there. What she is most concerned about now is the box office of her movie, because at this time, the global box office has reached 2.98 billion.
With the power of those photos, the movie's box office has increased significantly. But I have to say that it took too long to be released, and too many people have seen it. This is no longer the era of "Titanic", the good old days when it could be released for hundreds of days.
Hyping up the popularity of photos is very effective, but unfortunately any popularity is time-sensitive. In almost half a month or a month, the popularity will almost disappear.
Previously, some theater chains had released the movie one after another. There are not many theaters that are still showing it. At least in the eyes of professionals, getting a few million more is a pretty good achievement.
Chapter 1217: Dawn of Victory:
It is now less than 30 million away from the record of "Avatar". This makes many people see the dawn of breaking the record, but more people hold regrets and think that it is really impossible to surpass it. It won't be long before all theaters in the United States will completely cancel this movie. If it loses the U.S. box office, can it still hope to earn the remaining box office abroad?
The box office of more than 20 million yuan is not that much in normal times, and a newly released movie can earn more than this in one day. The problem is that it is now at the end, and if it is fully released in the United States, I am afraid it really will not win.
Laila was also a little depressed after receiving the accurate box office numbers. It's just a little short of that. Can't it be shown in a few more theaters and for a few more days?
But she also knows that it is impossible to continue to dominate the big screen in theaters when the box office of a single box office is getting less and less. Being able to leave a little bit for her is already a benefit brought by the excellent film. Compared with a movie that has been shown for a long time, the theater certainly hopes to leave the screen for newly released movies. After all, the audience is still more interested in new movies.
"Avengers" can be played until now, which is also related to the fact that there were no competitors some time ago. When the summer blockbusters are packed, the screen is taken away by other movies every minute.
Fortunately for them, the film was released not long ago during the summer season, and the audience was very enthusiastic. By the time the summer holiday is over, competitors will either be squeezed out or just hanging on.
Therefore, the release time is also a very important choice. If you choose the right day, you can make a lot of money. If you make the wrong choice and run into a strong opponent, a good film may not have much box office.
The problem now is that the film has reached the final stage, and even the hype may not be of any use other than arousing the audience's disgust. Laila really did a lot of work for this movie. If she really wanted to stay within 20 to 30 million without breaking the record, she would die of vomiting without others having to laugh at her.
"Do you want to do another global promotion?" Roy gave a suggestion after knowing her troubles.
"Tell me about it." Laila put down the document in her hand and heard something in his words.
Roy sat next to her: "Relying on the United States, it is impossible to get the final box office. The only markets we can count on now are other markets outside the United States. The market in the East has the most potential, and your reputation there is Very good, they are also very optimistic about you, and they are even willing to delay the release for a while, which is an advantage that other films cannot get." Laila nodded and made a gesture to let him continue.
Seeing that she listened attentively, Roy was very happy, and he spoke even more fluently: "You have many fans outside the United States. Some countries have already screened it, but many countries are still screening it. When you promoted it around the world, many countries just stopped temporarily and participated in one or two events. But even then, there was still a big improvement in the box office."
"I think you can promote it again, and in some ticket-rich countries Stay a few more days. Especially the East, you like it there, don't you want to explore more potential?"
Laila hesitated: "Is it too late to talk about publicity now? The company has already put all its energy into it. "Silence" will be fully promoted in just a few days."
Roy thought of "Silence", which she valued more, but wouldn't it be promoted soon? If the two films are promoted together, it will only draw attention to both parts, which is not a good thing for either film?
He felt sorry for her struggle, and he didn't want to end up in second place when there was only a little distance left. But what else can be done?
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Since publicity is hard to handle, Laila, do you want to go on a honeymoon trip?"
His voice and words were as tempting in Laila's ears as a siren attracted a sailor.
"Honeymoon?"
"Yes, aren't we getting married? After getting married, you will devote yourself to the promotion of "Silence". I'm afraid you won't have time to go on a honeymoon, so take this time to take a quick trip. , what do you think?"
Laila was moved. It wasn't that she was thinking about publicity, but the honeymoon itself was very attractive to her. Who wouldn't want to enjoy life in a stunning setting?
Roy knew her so well, how could he not see her heartbeat at this moment, so he continued with a smile: "I know you like the East very much, and little Eli hasn't been there yet, don't you want him to go and see you?" What does your favorite place look like?"
"You're right! Let's go!" Laila was completely convinced by his words. As my own child, how could I have never been to the East? Maybe a little exposure to the oriental air would enlighten him.
An on-the-go honeymoon trip, the first stop - the capital of the East!
Lila and Roy left so fast. After the plane was arranged, they embarked on the journey. Janet, who was obsessed with design, did not know that her daughter and son-in-law were still alive until the next day on TV news. My dear grandson has gone to the other side of the earth.
"Laila! Why did you leave just as you said you were going?" Janet called depressedly.
"Mom, I told you when I left, did you forget?" Laila was also a little depressed.
Janet was stunned: "Yes?"
"Yes! I told you that Roy and I were going on our honeymoon, and you asked me to bring you some things with Eastern characteristics."
Being reminded like this, Janet Only then did Te remember that he had indeed said that. But at that time, Laila came to tell herself that she was going to the East?
She slapped her forehead. you do not say! If she hadn't come to tell her that she was going to the East, she wouldn't have asked her to bring her some oriental-style things so that she could learn more about oriental culture.
"Ahem, that's what I'm asking. Have fun and don't come back too early!" After saying this guiltily, she hung up the phone directly.
Laila held the phone helplessly for a while. She was always confused like this every time. She hoped that little Eli would not inherit this.
At this time, their family of three was sitting in the hotel restaurant, enjoying a delicious Oriental dinner.
When she came, she really planned to have a romantic honeymoon trip and take little Eli to experience the atmosphere of the East. The Eastern blood in his blood has been weakened to one eighth. I wonder if he will like this country?
"If possible, I hope to have a daughter-in-law of Eastern descent."
She put the phone down, looked at the phone first, and then stared at little Eli for a few seconds, then suddenly came out this sentence.
"..." Roy looked at her with a strange expression, wondering why she suddenly thought about her daughter-in-law after answering the phone call. Their child is only one year old, okay?
And what Janet was talking about on the phone just now wasn't a similar topic, right? Where did she use her imagination to think of this?
Chapter 1218: Moran Family Coat of Arms
"Why are you looking at me like that? What did I say wrong?" Laila looked at him in confusion.
Roy shook his head amusedly: "Nothing. Now let's think about where we are going tomorrow. It's best to keep it simple." He said and looked behind him twice.
Laila knew he was referring to the bodyguard who had been following them. It's really troublesome to bring so many things with you when you go out to play. This is the East, a country that can be called safe in the world, and there is no need to be so vigilant at all.
"If you don't take one, grandpa will be angry if he finds out. Otherwise, let's take Arthur alone first. Then we take turns every day. Is that okay? Arthur." The last sentence she said was to the man sitting at the next table. Said.
Arthur smiled and nodded.
He is the captain of the bodyguard team, so there is no need to worry about his skills. You can tell by looking at his arm circumference which is thicker than a woman's thigh. He exudes a strong aura all over his body.
In other countries, he would certainly not have allowed Laila to make such a "dangerous" decision. But he knew that this was the East and there was no need to worry about safety. The only thing you have to watch out for is petty theft, and you never have to worry about someone suddenly shooting at you with a gun.
In the experience of following Laila around the world, he and his friends are undoubtedly the most at ease with this country.
Seeing that Laila had made arrangements, Roy smiled and said, "I hope I won't be recognized again."
"I can't guarantee that." Laila smiled bitterly.
This time they came here really quietly, just to have the most perfect honeymoon trip. As for promoting the movie, Laila doesn't take it too seriously. She was a little unwilling to break the box office record by just a few points, but compared with her once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, the latter was more important.
If she can make one movie, she can make ten. Not this time, she can challenge it with more videos in the future. If her honeymoon trip didn't go smoothly for this reason, she would rather not do any publicity.
But she forgot that although she came to Dongfang quietly and did not take an airline flight to let her identity leak out, the plane she took had already exposed everything.
In today's era, smartphones have become common. It is easy to take a photo and post it on Weibo.
Therefore, as soon as the Moran family's plane parked at the airport, its different colors and patterns from other flights appeared on Weibo.
#I found a really cool airplane at the airport today. [Photo of the plane.jpg] #The
person who posted on Weibo just thought this plane was relatively novel. The others were all white planes with the names of various airlines printed on them. This one looks more beautiful, and the logo pattern on the tail is also very nice.
Although he didn't know it, some of his friends did, and someone told him that it was not an airline flight and was probably exclusive to some company.
I didn't expect to get on a private plane for a while, because that plane was relatively large, and private planes are still relatively small in everyone's imagination.
Soon, people who saw the pictures came in to learn more about it.
"The pattern on the back is the emblem of the Moran family. It's either the Moran Group's plane or the Moran family's private plane." When
talking about the emblem, there is always a feeling of being very high-class.
Many people began to discuss who's family's family emblem looked like, and whose family's emblem was very beautiful. While they were talking, someone said weakly, "The emblem of the Moran family, could it be that Director Moran is here again?"
His words immediately attracted a lot of refutation.
"How is it possible? The box office of "Avengers" is just about to break the record. At this time, she must be guarding the Hollywood base. Why did she come to us?" "Maybe she is here for promotion?
"
" Whose publicity comes so quietly? You must find a bunch of reporters to guard it, right? Only when there is hype can there be publicity!" More and
more people were discussing it. Before Laila arrived at the hotel she had booked, the Internet I started having fun on my own.
But when she got out of the car and took the elevator upstairs with Roy, she was really recognized.
The main reason is that her team is too eye-catching. They are all foreigners and have good looks. Roy, in particular, has gained a lot of the flavor of a mature man as he grows older. She looks good, has a good figure, and attracts the attention of others like a luminous body whenever she takes two steps.
With such a person in the team, are you worried that others won't recognize him?
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Roy and Director Moran?" A girl who was squeezed into a corner by a group of foreigners who came in asked timidly.
God knows she and her friend were almost frightened to death just now. They were about to go upstairs, but so many foreigners came in all at once, especially most of them were tall and strong, with tangled muscles showing through their tight clothes. You can see it all.
They also wondered if a foreign bandit group had come, and they scared themselves half to death. It wasn't until they saw Roy and Laila that their eyes brightened and they relaxed.
People are always attracted by beautiful things. If a vicious person and a handsome person appear at the same time, people will always subconsciously feel that the vicious person has a worse heart, so they need to stay away, while the beautiful person will receive more care and love.
Although it is excessive, this is a world where faces are judged.
So when the bodyguards came in first, the two girls were trembling with fear, but when Roy's face appeared in their sight, they suddenly felt much more at ease.
Once they calmed down, the two girls felt that he looked quite familiar. When I looked again, I meowed. Isn't that Captain Jack Sparrow/Elf Prince/that other so-and-so?
Looking at the women next to him, the two girls' eyes widened. Who is that if not Laila? That is their idol! No one can misjudge her!
So when the elevator they took was about to arrive, they had the courage to ask.
"Yes, hello." Laila nodded friendly to them.
Without giving them a chance to say anything else, the elevator closed.
"Ah -" the two girls jumped up excitedly. "It's really Laila!"
"Roy is so handsome, Laila is so happy!"
"I don't think you heard that she came here, right?"
"Didn't you see the news?"
The two girls rushed into the room, Use the fastest speed to connect to the Internet, and then look for news about Laila Roy and her party.
There is no relevant news on the news website, but a topic "Molan's plane appears at the airport" appeared on Weibo.
The two of them were watching intently when suddenly one of them raised his head and looked at his best friend with a puzzled expression: "Did you just notice what Roy was holding in his arms?"
Chapter 1219 Big Heart
"Are you holding anything?" The other girl was stunned when asked. "You can't see it. Those people are blocking the front like a wall. It's good to be able to see Roy's face." "
I saw it. He must be holding something..." The girl paused. He shouted in an unbelieving voice: "Could it be their child, the baby named Eli?" "
You actually remember their baby's name?"
"Why not? It's easy to remember. He has a father. The name also has the mother's name, although you can only tell it by calling it in Eastern dialect."
The two girls looked at each other, and then screamed: "Oh my god, it must be their child!" "
I saw it but didn't. Saw it! Ah! Why didn't you take a second look at that time!"
"I wonder if they will come downstairs? Will there be a chance to see them by guarding near the gate?"
They were excited and excited at the same time. While making an appointment to guard the gate, he happily posted what happened just now on Weibo. Although they didn't see the baby, they definitely wanted to take a picture when they saw the handsome boy! So they happened to have pictures of Roy and Leila on their phones.
Although it was taken secretly, and most of it was blocked by the sturdy bodyguards, and half of the face was covered by the annoying hat, but due to the angle, they still took a photo that can identify the person. .
So as soon as I posted it on Weibo and cooperated with the plane incident, it immediately caused a sensation. It turns out that Laila and Roy really came here, and they said they even brought their baby with them?
Ever since "Avengers" was released here, Laila's name has appeared on the Internet or in the news all day long. People are like welcoming a carnival, watching her box office results getting closer to the number one movie in film history. Avatar".
And now, her name has appeared in hot searches again, letting more people know that she appeared in an Oriental hotel with her fiancé Roy, who is said to be getting married in October, and their children.
What are they here for?
This issue suddenly became everyone's biggest concern.
So after arranging everything and finally being able to sit down and take a rest while browsing Weibo, Laila was very depressed to find that the news she wanted to hide was still exposed. Why did you forget about the plane?
While in the elevator, she didn't notice the two girls secretly taking photos. The main reason is that there are too many similar things. In the United States, there will be many people taking pictures of her when she goes out, so the bodyguards will not stop them even if they see someone taking pictures. Who calls his boss a celebrity? Being photographed is completely normal.
"Director Mo Lan, I heard that your family came to the East?" Yao Yingxia called immediately after seeing the news online.
"We were planning to go on honeymoon, but we didn't expect to be discovered so soon." Laila was also a little helpless.
I originally thought that after getting off the plane, I got into the car, got off the car, entered the hotel, and then entered the room. There should be no possibility of exposure, but I didn't expect that there were two people in the elevator they were sitting in. Little fans they recognized. She and Roy obviously wore hats to disguise themselves.
Yao Yingxia's eyes lit up when she heard the word "honeymoon": "Let me help you make arrangements?"
If she uses the name of this great director to visit more scenic spots, the reporters who come after hearing the news will definitely stop by. Should we promote those scenic spots internationally? She had long known that this great director was good at taking pictures. When she took a picture with her camera, everything seemed to have been photoshopped, making it several times more beautiful. If she can take some photos and post them on her Facebook, the popularity of the scenic spot will skyrocket!
"Thank you, but I don't need to bother you. We just want to stroll around without attracting attention." Although she was grateful for her enthusiasm, Laila still refused her help. Because she knew that once she asked this person to "help", keeping this low-key trip would attract more attention than a global tour.
Yao Yingxia couldn't force it, it would be bad if she was disliked: "Okay, if you need anything, you must tell me." "
Okay." Laila agreed happily.
After ending the call, Yao Yingxia looked at the hot search topics on the computer screen and couldn't help shaking her head in amusement: "It's already so lively, can she really stroll around without attracting attention?" With the looks of that family, she
still There are fierce bodyguards who take them wherever they go, no matter how you look at them, they don't seem to be lost in the crowd, right? .
At the same time, she really admired Laila's big heart. Her own movie was hitting the box office record in film history, and she ran out for her honeymoon. Does she really not worry about success? Yao Yingxia felt that if she were in her shoes, she would be so nervous that she wouldn't even be able to eat, let alone travel.
There are also Western reporters stationed in the East, so when the news of Laila's appearance came out, the reporters stationed in the West received the news. After some verification, they soon understood that the rumors on the Internet were not groundless, but that Laila was really here. , and took Roy and their children with them.
This is big news! Whether it is Laila or Roy, people are very concerned about their children, but the photos posted by these two people never show the front of their children. Judging only from some side photos, that child must be a very beautiful child.
The parents' genes can only be so strong. It will be difficult for the child to grow crookedly, right?
The more invisible it is, the more people want to dig it out. Therefore, a frontal photo of Eli has long been fetched a very high price, but no paparazzi has succeeded under heavy protection.
In fact, even if someone has the opportunity to take pictures, they may not dare to sell them. The Moran family is in the media industry, and this is their livelihood. The paparazzi want to make money and have food to eat, so they can't go around them. Maybe there are relatively powerful media that are willing to buy news that the Moran family doesn't want to appear, but if they can't deal with other media, why can't they deal with a paparazzi who has no foundation?
Besides, other media outlets don't want to make their relationship with the Moran family too tense. The acquisition of the New York Post is still being talked about. He bought the family out of anger just because his granddaughter was hacked. Who would want to offend such a protective old man?
Why Laila didn't encounter the situation of being closely watched like other celebrities after her debut was probably because of her father's words. Now that you are in this business, everyone knows what you should and should not do.
Therefore, the frontal photo of Little Eli has not been exposed until now. Not to mention the people who have the opportunity to meet him, people of that class don't need to make money from selling photos. When hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars fall on the ground, people don't necessarily bend down to pick them up, because by the time they pick them up, they have already made more money than this.
Chapter 1220 Oh Baby.
After seeing the media reports, Janet knew that Laila had gone to the East, which was why she made the previous phone call.
And Laila and the others also changed their appearance when they went out. Instead of simply covering up with hats and sunglasses, they used a more professional approach. For example, Laila dyed her hair blonde, while Roy wore a dark red wig with a ponytail.
Anyway, their appearance cannot be concealed from others, so they might as well make full use of their foreign appearance. Laila's name is a black-haired beauty. She also gives people the impression of having very beautiful black hair and unique blue eyes.
Now she changed her hairstyle and color, put on a simple plaid shirt and jeans, put on a backpack, and immediately became a backpacker who often picks up people on the street.
Arthur surrounded the two men protectively, but did not go with them. He also knew that his figure was too burly. Among the more slender and well-proportioned Orientals, at nearly two meters tall, he could hardly stand out. So he chose to follow the two of them, pretending not to recognize them.
When you come to the capital, there are a few places you must visit, such as the ancient Great Wall and the ancient palace. Little Eli is not very old, and when he grows up, he will definitely not remember that he came to this country at such a young age.
At this time, he was very energetic and kept staring at the vermilion door and wall. Although it was difficult to tell from his cold expression that he was happy, but as he turned around, it seemed that his eyes that couldn't see enough had betrayed his true feelings.
Mixed race babies always look prettier.
With his fair skin, clear ice-blue eyes inherited from Laila, and fluffy hair, Eli is more beautiful and lovable than the baby printed on the milk powder box. Orientals love fair skin tones, so whether they are waiting in line to buy tickets or taking a break, baby Eli can always be teased by many people.
If it were in the West, if a stranger showed even the slightest affection for a child, he would probably be taken away by the police for questioning. But in the East, this is a common thing, and cute babies always get more kindness. Except for Roy and Arthur who were not far away who were worried, Laila was enjoying the baby's popularity.
She is liked by so many people, of course because her baby is adorable. Is there any mother who doesn't like that her child is liked by so many people?
After a day of shopping, they returned to the hotel. I don't know whether their disguise was successful or whether baby Eli stole more attention, but no one could recognize them.
But when the car arrived outside the hotel and Arthur got out first, two little girls suddenly rushed over from the side.
Arthur took a step and stood in front of the car door, blocking the steps of the two girls. He didn't do anything, because these two girls had met yesterday, the same two they met in the elevator. You must have recognized Laila's identity and waited here specially, right?
But he was only half right. The two girls were indeed waiting here specifically for Laila, but not just to get autographs.
"Laila, you can't go in now, there are many reporters inside!" The girl was blocked and couldn't run to her, but she could still use her mouth, so she told her purpose.
As soon as he heard the reporter, Arthur pushed the two of them directly into the car and asked the driver to drive the car to another place first. They have already developed a method for dealing with this kind of thing. In short, there is nothing wrong with leaving as soon as you hear reporters blocking you. If he really got entangled, he wouldn't be able to handle so many people on his own.
"Reporter? Where are you from?"
The two girls were a little embarrassed and pushed each other. Finally, the one with long hair said, "I'm sorry, maybe it's our relationship." The one with short
hair also apologized: " I'm really sorry. We were very happy after meeting you yesterday, so we posted the photos on Weibo. But we forgot to turn off the location, so..."
So, the place where they live was exposed. Since they said they met Laila and the others in a hotel, it certainly means that Laila and the others also stayed in that hotel.
So within one day, almost all the reporters who could come were found, and some fans also ran over. If Laila and the others had walked into the hotel without preparation, they would have been surrounded by the crowd and unable to get out.
Laila listened to the two girls talking about what happened, and then kept apologizing. After looking at each other, she laughed.
"Thank you for telling me. It's really helpful."
The girls didn't expect that instead of being reprimanded for making mistakes, the girls were actually thanked.
Seeing their cute looks, Laila smiled and said, "You haven't eaten yet?"
The girls nodded confusedly. In order to see Leila and Roy again, they stayed near the hotel door all afternoon. As a result, as soon as I got downstairs, I saw a lot of people holding cameras near the rest area. From the conversations of those people, they knew that they were all reporters, and they all came here after learning from Weibo that Laila lived in this hotel.
The two of them knew immediately that they were in trouble. When they thought of Laila and the others being surrounded by these people when they came back, they really wished they could go back to yesterday and smash their cellphones for posting on Weibo.
In order to make up for their mistake, they ran outside the hotel and stared at everyone who got off the bus, so that they could stop Laila and the others before reporters found out. Fortunately, the bodyguard's appearance was so impressive that they rushed over as soon as they saw Arthur getting out of the car. As for what they would do after being stopped, they had not thought about it at all.
In fact, they were all prepared to be reprimanded while waiting, but there was no reprimand, no blame, nothing, but they were taken to a nearby restaurant... to eat!
The two girls were still confused until they sat at the dining table in the private room.
If they can stay in a hotel booked by Laila, their family will definitely not be the kind without money. But having money is one thing, but dining with big stars and directors is another thing!
They have chased many stars and spent a lot of money chasing them. This time I stayed in the hotel to attend a concert held here by a singer from the Little Fresh Meat Group in a few days. But no matter how good the singer is, compared with Laila and the others, she will be compared to Siberia.
That's Laila! It's Roy! And their babies!
If people knew that they could have dinner with such a person, how many people would be so envious that their eyes would turn red?
Huh?
Baby?
The two girls moved their eyes to Roy's arms and saw a pair of ice-blue eyes staring at them under a head of soft brown hair.
"Ah! Baby!" The girl stood up and pointed at Eli in Roy's arms, not knowing what to say.
