Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: This Top Star Has Real Achievements

Anna understood the deeper meaning in Li Xiang's words, and after a moment's thought, she smiled: "I now believe that no matter what, you will be able to make it big, even here."

"That would also be possible without your help," Li Xiang replied smoothly. "Besides, our China has always valued repaying even the smallest kindness tenfold..."

Anna, you were the one who introduced me to the world of European and American fashion; I will always remember that kindness. Please feel free to contact me if you ever need anything.

In just a few words, Li Xiang firmly placed Anna Wintour, the "fashion icon" in the eyes of foreign media, in the position of "talent scout."

She was happy to be this talent scout—after all, Ethan Li's potential was undeniable, and his future was bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.

As for Li Xiang, he should treat Anna as a senior like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige and make good use of her.

Since he is a talent scout, a guide, and a discoverer, isn't it only natural for him to lend a hand occasionally?

Moreover, being Anna Wintour's "disciple" in the fashion world is not shameful at all; on the contrary, it adds another layer of prestige to one's own reputation.

Foreigners appreciate this kind of straightforward and honest expression, and Anna was genuinely satisfied with Li Xiang's tactful remarks.

She could even foresee that after Li Xiang made a name for himself in the European and American fashion circles through the Met Gala,

As the guide who "personally discovered and introduced me from the East," I will inevitably be hailed as "still sharp as ever, with a keen eye for talent."

As Li Xiang's achievements grow, and with China's current influence radiating throughout Southeast Asia,

She can also use this relationship to extend her fame from Europe and America to the broader Asian market.

In truth, she didn't expend much effort—

Finding good material to publish in a magazine is the editor-in-chief's responsibility.

The reason for inviting Karl was, ostensibly, simply to share the surprises brought by the new design inspiration.

In high spirits, Anna waved her hand and said, "As a celebrity, you can't just wear designs from your own country, can you?"

"Take whatever clothes you like from here today, and feel free to wear them. We also have some outfits and bags used during the photoshoot; you could pick a few to give as gifts to friends."

It's worth noting that the privilege of receiving items directly from Vogue's headquarters is something very few people in the entire fashion industry can enjoy.

It has to be said, Anna really knows how to make people remember this kindness...

So when Li Xiang left the Vogue headquarters, Sister Zhou and Xiao Jiang were each carrying several suitcases, all of which were packed full.

Even the suitcases were Louis Vuittons found in the storage room; just by looking at this, you can tell how much they reaped on this trip.

Of course, Li Xiang wasn't the only one who returned with a full load; Sister Zhou and Xiao Jiang were also grinning from ear to ear.

After all, as his agent and assistant, Li Xiang would never forget them, no matter who he forgets.

So, both of them now own a Hermès bag and an LV bag.

This trip to New York was truly full of surprises and gains for everyone.

It wasn't until they returned to the hotel that Sister Zhou and Xiao Jiang, while helping Li Xiang organize his clothes and accessories, remarked with a sigh:

"I never imagined that 'The Devil Wears Prada' was based on a real movie. The designer clothes in Vogue really are piled up like mountains."

Xiao Jiang nodded repeatedly: "I always thought it was just an exaggeration in movies and TV shows, haha."

"Fiction? Reality is far more exaggerated than fiction. Don't you even know what level American Vogue is?"

Putting aside the items in the warehouse, even the more valuable runway pieces and jewelry, once delivered by the brand, would never be taken back.

For these brands, being recognized by Anna and featured in American Vogue is equivalent to receiving top-tier free publicity and the highest level of endorsement from around the world.

Even without advertising in magazines, brands still send large quantities of new styles, runway pieces, and haute couture samples to the editorial department each season for them to wear and use.

"Is that exaggerated?" Xiao Jiang exclaimed in surprise.

"You only see Anna's own brilliance, but you don't notice the five or six assistants around her, or the fashion editors—"

Each of them is a well-known figure in the industry. Being chosen by them to wear their clothes is an excellent publicity opportunity.

It doesn't matter who wears it, so what we consider valuable items are nothing more than inventory that needs to be cleared out periodically for them.

"Of course, it's a really good product, so we don't need to overthink it."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Jiang hurried to open it, but it was Zhang Yu, who had been elusive these past few days, who walked in.

She immediately noticed the clothes scattered all over the bed and floor, including many runway pieces. As the editor-in-chief who founded the Chinese edition of Vogue, she was quite familiar with them.

She instantly understood—Li Xiang must have gone to Vogue to "stock up".

At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly marvel: Anna really went all out this time.

Of course, Zhang Yu's idea of ​​"spending a fortune" didn't refer to the clothes themselves—after all, Anna received the same treatment.

The Chinese edition of Vogue also has most of these, only differing in quality levels, but the ones that are essential are definitely not inferior.

What truly astonished her was Anna's attitude and the recognition it represented from Vogue headquarters.

Could it be that something terrible happened while she was away?

Otherwise, even if she had known Li Xiang for a longer period of time, and even with the relationship with Chen Kaige and his wife, she would never have allowed Li Xiang to enjoy the same treatment as other customers at the headquarters in China.

Thinking this, Zhang Yu asked directly.

Li Xiang didn't intend to hide anything; on the contrary, he wanted to use this opportunity to let Zhang Yu know what was going on.

After all, he will eventually develop his career in China, and he will inevitably have to deal with Zhang Yu, the "female devil" of China's fashion circle, in the future.

If you can make the other party understand that you have connections at Vogue headquarters behind you, they will naturally treat you differently.

So, while picking up a piece of clothing and holding it up against himself, he casually mentioned that he had visited the Vogue headquarters three times in the past few days.

The second time, I even met Karl Lagerfeld, and tomorrow I will be invited to visit Chanel's US headquarters.

In short, it's not an exaggeration, but it's full of profound meaning.

Moreover, he subtly claimed the names of the two fashion icons, waving them over to Zhang Yu without making a sound.

Although the method was crude, the effect was immediate.

At least after hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately broke into a very obvious smile.

"Perfect, then pick out something suitable. Come with me to meet some friends tonight; it'll be good for you to build some connections in the fashion world..."

After saying that, he made an appointment with Li Xiang for the time to go out that evening, and then turned and left the room.

As soon as the door closed, Li Xiang raised an eyebrow at Sister Zhou and Xiao Jiang, his eyes clearly saying, "See, it worked."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
