Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: This Top Star Has Real Achievements
Chapter 514 The Big Shot in the Lounge
The moment the car door was opened a crack, flashes went off like crazy, and a flurry of camera shutters clicked.
Countless reporters who were waiting at the fashion week site swarmed in, crowding the entrance so densely that it was impossible to pass.
"Ethan! Congratulations on becoming the global ambassador for Running Man!"
What are your thoughts on Vogue's global sales figures this month?
"Was your collaboration with Henry on this two-person film a pre-arranged partnership?"
"Has Henry come to New York to see you recently? How is your relationship going?"
Even with six bodyguards doing their best to stop them, they still couldn't suppress the extreme fervor of the media at the scene.
The explosive sales of Vogue, in particular, and its stunning fashion editorials, have driven them wild.
Now, Li Xiang might not even be able to sign autographs for the fans waiting nearby, let alone get into the venue.
He deeply regretted his decision; he should have come with Anna.
With Anna around, even if these reporters had a lot of guts, they wouldn't dare to surround him like this.
And judging from the looks of it, this group won't let him go unless he answers a few questions.
"Thank you, it's a pleasure to work with Richard Miller."
"The magazine photoshoot was arranged long ago to promote the upcoming film we're collaborating on."
"It's all fabricated; there's no emotion involved! Also, could you please make way..."
Finally, with the help of the venue security guards, he was able to get through the gate.
What Li Xiang saw as a hellish spectacle was, in the eyes of others, a grand scene reserved for superstars.
The flashing lights that illuminated the streets, the constant shouts, and the layers upon layers of media made the other celebrities who came to watch the show extremely envious.
At this moment, Li Xiang was indeed in a bit of a mess. If he hadn't been trying his best to protect the brooch on his chest, these people would probably have squeezed it out of existence.
Before he could even catch his breath, Isa appeared out of nowhere.
"Li, you look so disheveled." The little girl said, then giggled.
"It's all to protect the brooch. I'm afraid some clueless media outlet will knock it off," Li Xiang said helplessly. "But when did you arrive?"
"I was a little earlier than you, and since I'm not famous, the media didn't bother with me at all, so I just walked right in."
Isa looked him up and down with a mocking expression; this was the first time she had ever seen Li Xiang like this.
Because he doesn't like using hairspray, his hair was already a mess after just a few pushes.
Fortunately, there weren't too many people in the hall at that moment. He had arrived early, hoping to avoid some reporters, but he still didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Noticing her gaze, Li Xiang knew his current image was probably not very good: "Come on, come with me to find a rest room."
After stopping a staff member, he was quickly led to a VIP lounge based on his face.
Before the two could exchange more than a few words, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.
After receiving a signal from Li Xiang, Xiao Jiang opened the door and saw the Beckhams standing there with smiles on their faces.
This was the first time Li Xiang had seen Beckham, his former idol, in person, and he quickly stood up to greet him.
"Victoria, come in quickly, I thought you'd be too busy to get away."
The couple entered the room, and Victoria then spoke, "I heard the noise outside and knew you were here."
"I looked all over for you but couldn't find you. I asked the staff and found out you were in this lounge. Li, let me introduce you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Xiang interrupted her with a smile.
"No need for introductions, I believe there are very few people in the world who don't know David Beckham. David, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Li Xiang's enthusiasm startled Beckham slightly, but Victoria immediately recovered and broke into a big smile.
Sure enough, her husband is her best asset; everyone knows Beckham.
Beckham in person is just as gentlemanly and polite as he appears on TV.
"Li, may I call you that? It's a great honor to meet you. My whole family are your fans."
After saying that, he quickly added, afraid that the other party would take it as just a polite remark.
"This is not a compliment. Many of your looks have inspired Victoria a lot, and there were even outfits inspired by yours in this season's ready-to-wear show."
Whether it was just polite talk or genuine sentiment, Li Xiang was genuinely happy to hear his former idol say that his whole family were his fans.
No wonder the Victoria family is so successful in high society; their emotional intelligence is astonishing, especially considering the combined efforts of the couple.
He immediately looked at Victoria, his face showing surprise.
"Really? It's my pleasure. By the way, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Isa Ambani."
"She'll be coming with me tomorrow to support your big show."
For Victoria, who had always aspired to move up in high society, the mere mention of Ambani's surname...
She knew what it meant, and her surprise was palpable.
She really didn't expect Li Xiang to offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and immediately went up to hug Isha.
This also leaves room for Li Xiang to have a private talk with Beckham.
I also managed to get several autographed Beckham jerseys for Li's father, and the door to the lounge was pushed open again.
Anna's voice came in first, her tone light, yet carrying a unique hint of sarcasm.
"I told you to come with me a long time ago, but you wouldn't listen. The footage of you being surrounded by the media has already spread all over the internet."
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and saw the Beckhams inside the house, but her face showed no surprise.
Given Li Xiang's current status and popularity, it's perfectly normal for Victoria to take the initiative to befriend him; it would be strange if she didn't.
Anna actually had quite a few complaints about Victoria in her early years.
But over the past few years, seeing the other party steadily cultivating the fashion industry and earnestly building their own clothing brand, most of my prejudices have dissipated.
As for Beckham, Anna's attitude was noticeably more amiable, showing that the old lady also admired the handsome man.
However, this kindness still couldn't compare to her intimacy and casualness towards Li Xiang.
The way he barged in without knocking and started joking around gave the Beckhams a slight joking shock.
No one knows Anna's influence in the global fashion world better than Victoria. This closeness alone is enough to show how formidable Li Xiang's status is.
Delphia, who was right behind Anna, also stepped into the lounge. After seeing Li Xiang's outfit, she laughed and joked.
This network of connections spanning capital, fashion, and conglomerates alone puts her miles ahead of most Hollywood stars.
But the surprises didn't end there. Not long after, Wang Weiwei also made a special trip to this lounge to chat with Li Xiang.
The lounge is large enough, otherwise it wouldn't be able to fit all these people.
Outside the lounge, undercurrents were already swirling.
Someone even secretly took a photo of the door to Li Xiang's dressing room and posted it directly on social media.
The topic of "#Who Are The Big Names Inside Ethan Li's Private Lounge?" quickly gained traction amidst the buzz of Fashion Week.
