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

As expected of a restaurant that has won the Oscars of the culinary world, Li Xiang was amazed when he tasted the sea urchin soft-boiled egg and crab tart.

He's eaten good food before, but this was the first time he'd ever had such delicious Western food.

The next few dishes tasted even better than what I had eaten at the Times Gala Dinner, which was a state banquet.

Seeing that Li Xiang was enjoying his meal, Henry was also happy.

The look on Li Xiang's face now was the best testament to the hard work he had put into getting someone to cut in line for the spot.

This is Hollywood after all, and Li Xiang isn't some unknown star; he was quickly recognized.

"Ethan? Darling, is that you?"

Li Xiang was already very sensitive to his English name, and he immediately looked up when he heard someone calling his name.

The person who came was indeed an old acquaintance of his, Sarah Jessica Parker.

Upon realizing that it was indeed Li Xiang, the fashion icon's face instantly lit up with joy.

Her social circle is mostly stuck in the last era, and now is the time to expand her network.

And Li Xiang is the very best of all her new connections.

"It's me, Sarah. What are you doing in Los Angeles?"

But his question didn't get an answer right away. Instead, it was Henry, who stood up with her, who caught Sarah's attention.

She looked Henry up and down several times before smiling and speaking.

"I should be asking you that. And...aren't you going to introduce me to this handsome guy next to you?"

Li Xiang, not being a native-born American, failed to decipher the hidden messages in Sarah's eyes and subtle body language.

Henry Cavill, who had spent many years navigating the Hollywood scene, quickly grasped many of these points.

However, since the other party was a veteran A-list celebrity, it wasn't his turn to take the initiative to speak to him; he could only stand quietly beside Li Xiang.

"This is Henry Cavill, my friend and my partner on my next film," Li Xiang introduced, then turned to Henry.

"Henry, I suppose I don't need to introduce him further."

Henry then stepped forward and politely extended his hand: "Ms. Sarah, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Sarah gently shook his hand, but her smile deepened: "No wonder Ethan was willing to partner with you; you're really eye-catching."

After chatting for a while, Sarah, who had an appointment, agreed to contact him again after arriving in New York, and then they went their separate ways.

Just when Li Xiang thought he would never run into an acquaintance again, things didn't go as planned, and another voice rang out beside him.

" plum?"

"Hey, Jonathan..."

"It really is you, my beloved Lee!" Jonathan Anderson exclaimed with delight.

After a hug, Li Xiang could only repeat what he had just said, explaining why he came to Los Angeles.

I thought it would just be a few simple pleasantries, and the other person would say goodbye and leave, just like Sarah.

Unexpectedly, this person showed no intention of leaving and instead plopped down next to him.

Then she reached out, put her arm around his shoulder, and whispered some big news to him.

"At the end of this year, I will begin to take the helm of Loewe, and then it will be time for your Chanel..."

He paused for a moment before noticing Henry sitting opposite him, then turned his gaze back to Li Xiang.

"This is Henry Cavill, my friend and my co-star in my next film."

However, this genius designer had no intention of shaking hands or exchanging pleasantries. Instead, he lowered his voice again and continued.

"When your Chanel contract expires, sign with Loewe and become my global brand ambassador."

"I will allocate all of Loewe's resources to you, and the brand's aesthetics, style, and collection creation will all be tailored to you."

"Only you are my exclusive muse, and only you can give me a constant stream of new creative inspiration."

This is not the first time that Li Xiang has been called a "muse" by designers in the industry.

The fashion world adores his looks and charisma, and he has countless admirers.

But Jonathan Anderson is definitely the most persistent and determined one among them.

For two whole years, from the time they first met until now, the other party has never given up on extending an olive branch to him.

In the end, all of this was trouble that Li Xiang brought upon himself.

He knew from the beginning that Loewe's resurgence was a result of Jonathan's leadership.

This person may even take the helm of Dior, becoming one of the most influential figures in the luxury goods industry in terms of aesthetic discourse.

This is a top designer who, in just 12 years, revived Loewe from a completely declining brand into a top luxury brand.

When he first met the other person, he naturally wanted to befriend him while he was still in a lowly position.

It's unclear whether he misjudged the situation or if his well-intentioned actions caused some problems...

This led the brilliant designer to seem to have his eye on him, wanting him to be his muse.

At that time, he only had one independent brand. Li Xiang would have to be crazy to agree to such a highly binding cooperation.

But he really couldn't bear to completely distance himself from Jonathan, the great designer who was destined to rise to prominence.

Because he knew better than anyone that Karl's era would eventually come to an end, and that his time was running out.

Jonathan is the future bigwig in the high-end luxury circle, and he is an absolutely top-tier person worth cultivating a long-term relationship with.

So he secretly helped Jonathan, providing him with ideas and sharing future design concepts.

On the one hand, they deliberately kept their distance to prevent the 28-year-old boy from getting emotional and making unreasonable demands.

Today, Jonathan is about to take the helm at Loewe, the gears of fate have meshed once again, and a new choice is laid out before him once more.

When faced with an enthusiastic invitation, simply brushing it off with a few empty words is too perfunctory and may even sow the seeds of future problems.

After a moment's thought, Li Xiang decided to whisper the unspoken understanding he and Delphia had reached to each other.

"You should know that LVMH would absolutely never allow me to endorse Loewe."

"Unless Loewe pulls off a real comeback, you should understand that all art must eventually yield to commerce."

"Then I'll go find Delphia, and I'll go talk to Arno!"

"Jonathan," Li Xiang shook his head slightly, his tone steady, "your foundation is not yet stable, so it is not appropriate for you to directly make such demands to the group."

"Only when you've built up Loewe will you have the leverage to negotiate. Even I, within the entire LVMH system, have limited options."

Upon hearing this, Jonathan's excitement gradually faded, and after a long while, he looked up at Li Xiang with an extremely solemn tone.

"Then I'll start building up Loewe first. If that still doesn't work, then I'll take over Dior. Lee, you wait for me at Dior."

After saying this, he got up and left.
