Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: This Top Star Has Real Achievements
Chapter 517 Huayi? What are you thinking?
The background music for the show slowly began to play, and Anna finally made it back from another show.
"How was it? Any surprises?" Li Xiang was also a little curious about what kind of show Anna would make a special trip for.
Anna did not answer his question, but instead looked at the child in his arms.
"The Beckham family's?"
"Yes, Harper Beckham asked me to look after her for a while. Isn't she adorable?"
As he spoke, he gently handed Xiaoqi, whom he was holding, to Anna. Xiaoqi obliged and stuck out her tongue at Anna.
"In such a short time, you've become so close."
"Of course, otherwise my trip would have been for nothing."
As they were chatting, Beckham walked back from backstage with a big smile on his face.
He first winked at Li Xiang, then thanked Anna for coming to support him.
Anna naturally noticed something was different, but just then all the lights went out and the show officially began.
In Li Xiang's opinion, the entire show was just so-so.
According to his standards, a great show should have at least one complete main storyline or narrative thread running throughout the entire performance.
Instead of what we have now, where models take turns appearing on stage, but the styles look like they were copied and pasted.
It's not that the show was bad; it maintained a basic level of style. It just lacked any memorable highlights throughout.
Just as he had predicted, there was no disruptive innovation, and the pricing was almost the same as that of established fashion houses, so the future sales prospects were probably predictable.
Looking back now, he was too kind; at least he saved that family from losing money for many years.
As for the collaboration invitation from the young girl, it can only be seen as a good deed yielding good results, a manifestation of his good deeds being rewarded.
He also began to quickly recall which parts of the girl's future business empire he could get involved in.
What impressed me most was Ajio, the fashion e-commerce platform she founded herself.
He mainly focuses on introducing overseas designer brands and bringing in various international light luxury brands. In this regard, the resources he has can be of great help.
Most importantly, it has absolutely no connection to the core businesses inherited from the Ambani family.
As for the rest, well, one should still have some self-awareness...
As Xiao Qi gently wiggled in his arms, Li Xiang finally came to his senses, only to find that the show was nearing its end.
Victoria came out from backstage, but burst into tears after only a few steps.
Li Xiang actually admired this woman quite a bit.
If it were him, it would be very difficult to persevere in the face of a brand losing money for fifteen consecutive years.
The applause gradually subsided, and the guests rose one after another.
Many celebrities, media representatives, and fashion buyers also had to rush to the next event. After exchanging brief greetings and saying goodbye, they left in a hurry.
After taking Xiaoqi back into his arms, Xiaobei extended an invitation: "Li, would you and Isaac be welcome to have dinner together tonight?"
"After Vera Wang's big show ends, and Harper will be going with her too."
Looking at Xiao Qi, who was staring at him with wide eyes in the other person's arms, he turned to ask Isa for her opinion.
Seeing that the young girl had no objections, Li Xiang could only nod in agreement. After agreeing on a time, they left the show together.
I thought that after such a delay, there would be hardly anyone left at the entrance of the show, but to my surprise, a familiar face was standing not far away.
Li Xiang immediately led Isa forward to greet her: "Our top Chinese model, the newly crowned fifth in the MDC rankings, who are you waiting for?"
"Li, you didn't see me just now, did you?"
Upon hearing this question, Li Xiang's mind raced: "Haha, how could that be? Didn't you just finish walking the runway?"
"Hehe, I think you were so busy holding the baby that you didn't even watch the show properly."
Liu Wen was just joking, but then his tone became serious, and he said with gratitude, "I just wanted to come and thank you."
"Huh? What are you thanking me for?"
"Of course it's this show. If it weren't for you, Victoria might not have invited me to walk in this show."
Li Xiang is not a heartless person, nor does he believe that he can help Liu Wen get runway opportunities just by relying on his own reputation.
Before he could even respond, Liu Wen's next words confirmed her statement: "I only received the invitation half a month ago."
"Given Victoria's perfectionist nature, the show's lineup should have been finalized six months in advance, and there would never have been any last-minute additions just before the big show."
After she said that, Li Xiang realized what she meant.
That was exactly the time when Victoria invited him to the fashion show.
Considering this person's character and conduct, it's possible that it was really just to give him face.
Having figured this out, he stopped saying any more empty pleasantries and simply nodded.
"Yes, it just so happened that she invited me to watch the show around that time, but ultimately, it's because you, as a supermodel, have the talent."
"Fifth in the world and first in Asia, this is an unprecedented record among Chinese models."
"No matter how good he is, he can't compare to you. The first male god to grace the cover of Vogue's September issue since its inception."
"Li, you've set more records than anyone else, and even your current reputation can be of help to me."
Although Li Xiang felt a little embarrassed by Liu Wen's praise, he was still very pleased.
He also hopes that his influence can help more Chinese people working hard overseas.
Of course, this only applies to people he finds agreeable, like Liu Wen, and not others...
As an important guest at the next big show, Li Xiang and Isa changed their outfits before arriving at the main venue of Lincoln Center.
They intended to walk directly into the show hall, but the brand's public relations representative waiting at the door greeted them and led them backstage.
"Darling, you've finally arrived." The wedding dress queen was overjoyed to see Li Xiang and insisted on chatting with the two of them for a while.
He then beckoned to a Chinese face: "Li, this is my goddaughter, Su Pei. Pei Pei, quickly say hello."
"Ethan, it's a pleasure to meet you," Qin Supei quickly said.
Only now did Li Xiang understand why Liu Wen had looked embarrassed and declined to come along when he invited her earlier.
He was well aware of the shady dealings and cliques within the modeling industry.
He had already met He Xiangu, especially that small group of three.
The woman in front of us must be the wife of Mr. Zhao from Huayi, a national model, and also the mother of the child of the later "God of Camera".
Sure enough, godmothers and goddaughters are the most annoying.
Without much thought, it's highly likely that this Ms. Pei Pei has climbed up to Wang Weiwei and is using this relationship to monopolize resources.
This is also the fundamental reason why Liu Wen looked embarrassed and was unwilling to come along.
It's obvious that the wedding dress queen deliberately brought this person to her, hoping to leverage her connections to give this goddaughter a boost and pave the way for her advancement.
If it were simply a matter of personal favors from Vera Wang, Li Xiang might have given her some leeway.
But once Huayi is involved...
Haha, he hates him so much that he wants to use his fame to gain resources and elevate his own status.
There aren't even windows, let alone doors.
