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

Back at the hotel, Li Xiang lay down on the large bed alone.

While reading various comments online, I carefully considered my options.

How should we arrange for him and Anna to attend the domestic fashion week together to maximize their benefits?

In fact, Zhang Yu was the first person Li Xiang thought of.

However, as the editor-in-chief of VOGUE China, if the news were to leak out from her side, outsiders would probably assume that she was the one who did the work.

This alone is something Li Xiang absolutely cannot accept.

So after careful consideration, Li Xiang still felt that it was most appropriate to give the information to the former principal first.

Moreover, the Ministry of Culture's responsibilities include cultural exchanges between China and other countries, so submitting this matter would be a tangible achievement for the other party.

Of course, the most important thing is that premonition in my heart.

The relevant departments probably already have some reservations about him because of this.

Even Li Xiang didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion, with even American state media getting involved.

This is also why he strongly encouraged Anna to come to China to participate in Fashion Week and promoted the establishment of a China-themed Met Gala.

What the country needs most right now is for its culture to go global, and he personally facilitated this.

Once it's done, all those previous issues will seem insignificant, and no one will dare to hold a grudge.

Often, the choice between gains and losses depends on whether a person has value or can produce value.

Li Xiang is a very valuable person.

Even if he caused trouble before, he has the ability to make up for it, and may even produce more significant and valuable results.

The dial tone continued, and Li Xiang sat up straight, waiting for the old principal to answer.

"Hey, Principal. Are you up yet?"

The old principal's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: "Get up, kid, what's wrong now?"

"Can't you think of the good things about me? Why do you just accept that I'm getting into trouble every day?"

"Haha, you sound so relaxed, it must be a good thing."

"Yes, that's certainly good news. It seems nothing can be hidden from you..."

"Well, isn't this year's International Fashion Week its 15th anniversary? I've invited Anna to attend with me; we'll probably be there for two days."

"Oh? Is it Anna Wintour of the fashion world?"

"Yes, we're really good friends. I begged and pleaded with him, and he agreed to come and support us."

"That's great news! This is fantastic news!"

"Yes, with her influence in the fashion industry, plus my current fame, we're sure to attract a lot of attention and expand our influence."

"But as far as I know, this person almost never attends any other fashion events except for the four major fashion weeks."

"I'm here, and there's also a great thing that's being promoted here."

At this point, Li Xiang also specifically explained the true prestige of the Met Gala.

Unlike the dinner party that celebrities focus on, the real benefit to the country comes from the permanent themed exhibition that runs for several months after the dinner.

The red carpet hype is fleeting, but this public exhibition will be open to global media, fashion professionals, and art scholars for several months.

For national-level cultural dissemination or aesthetic output, this is a top-tier window that no international fashion week or red carpet event can replace.

"The goal is to use this world-class exhibition to keep Chinese design aesthetics in the mainstream for a long time and achieve true cultural export."

The old principal naturally understood this, not to mention that the Japanese had begged for this for eight years. Even for this reason, he hoped to win it.

After a moment's hesitation, he slowly spoke: "Do you think this can succeed?"

"Anna has a lot of influence at the Met Gala, and our country has been developing very rapidly in recent years."

With all these factors combined, I feel it's practically a sure thing; otherwise, Anna wouldn't have been willing to help me push this forward. She must have known what was going on.

"Heh, you've got a lot of faith in the country, haven't you?"

"Of course, my heart is set on serving the sun..."

"Alright, stop with the nonsense. But you did a great job on this. I'll report to my superiors later."

"You should also try to finalize your Fashion Week schedule as early as possible, so as to showcase the strength of our country's outstanding designers and local brands to Ms. Anna."

Li Xiang was even more adept at understanding the subtle meaning behind a song.

Knowing the time in advance, it seems they intend to condense all the essence into these short two days.

He found this reasonable; it's only natural to show off one's best side.

So he quickly agreed: "Okay, Anna and I will definitely let you know as soon as we finalize the schedule."

"I also have a designer spot available, which is for a rising Hong Kong designer that I discovered together with the president of LVMH Greater China."

"If conditions permit, I hope to arrange for him to make an appearance in the next two days so that I can check his results."

"Haha, it's nothing, a small matter. Since you're someone I've taken a liking to, I'll naturally give him a chance. Do you have anything else to say, kid?"

"No, it's just that I encountered such a good thing and wanted to report it to you as soon as possible."

"Hmph, I bet you're actually a little scared inside."

"Don't worry, compared to the value you can create, the little trouble you caused before is nothing."

"Haha, I don't understand what you're saying, I'm just being patriotic..."

After hanging up the phone with the former principal, Li Xiang muttered to himself, "I'm not sure."

"You old geezer, you think you can trick me into telling you anything? No way!"

After joking around, he composed himself and dialed Wu Yue's number.

"I knew I heard magpies calling outside my window this morning, turns out it was you who wanted to call."

Li Xiang couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly after hearing this.

You live in a gated, high-rise apartment, dozens of stories high, where even birds are rarely seen, so where would a magpie come from?

While internally cursing, he politely smiled and replied, "Haha, what a coincidence, it's the same here."

"But it wasn't the chirping of magpies, it was the sound of gunfire..."

One sentence made Wu Yue burst into laughter, and the slight awkwardness between them instantly disappeared.

Li Xiang then smoothly transitioned to the main topic: "Let's get down to business. How's Yun Weijun doing?"

When the topic turned to the up-and-coming designer they had discovered together, Wu Yue immediately became enthusiastic and replied at length, "He's in excellent form."

"I never expected him to be so talented, especially in the fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics in design. He has mastered it to perfection at such a young age."

"Among the young designers I've met, his inspiration is absolutely top-notch, no less than that of Jason Wu from Taiwan, and perhaps even stronger!"

"Does he have any finished designs recently?"

"Yes, there is." Wu Yue was very certain. "I visited his studio a while ago, and several of his works are already in the final stages of completion."

"Three of the outfits were absolutely stunning; even I was immediately impressed when I saw them."
