Chapter 800 Hong Kong International Fashion Festival
The Hong Kong International Fashion Festival will be held on time at 6 o'clock in the evening on May 5th at the Hung Kan Stadium, and it will be broadcast live on TV.
Probably because Jinxiu Clothing is a mainland brand, although the organizer invited Jinxiu Clothing, it didn't take it seriously.
Not only did the beautiful costumes appear in the middle, several makeup artists and stylists also did not do makeup or styling for Lin Mai’s model.
Although the organizer had told Lin Mai that they would provide makeup artists and stylists free of charge, all of them were gone.
If the model does not wear makeup, it will affect the display effect of the clothing.
Tao Zhiyun was anxious and wanted to argue with the director, but Lin Mai stopped him.
It's not that she was timid when she came to Hong Kong.
But she knew in her heart that the director might have ordered the make-up artist and stylist not to provide services to her models.
People look down on you because they just want to punish you and make you look bad. If you go to them to seek justice, isn't that asking for the skin of a tiger?
If it really gets noisy, it will be a big loss whether you leave or stay.
Let's go, it's going to cost a lot to bring the model team to Hong Kong this time, and I haven't seen a penny of profit.
Moreover, it is not cost-effective to lose an opportunity to make Jinxiu Clothing international.
Just stay. The director who looks down on mainlanders will probably punish them even more severely, which will be very detrimental to them.
Lin Mai explained the truth to Tao Zhiyun.
Tao Zhiyun said with a sad face: "Even if the director won't help us, we still have to ask him.
Otherwise, how can we models walk on stage without styling or makeup?"
Lin Mai winked at her: "Why do we have to ask someone who can't help us?
If this way doesn’t work, then find another way.”
"What way?" Tao Zhiyun asked puzzledly.
"Take money to open the way."
Lin Mai called the best makeup artists and stylists to a deserted corner and gave each of them a red envelope of 3,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Please ask them to give her models good styling and makeup.
She also promised that after the fashion show is over, she will give each of them a thank you red envelope worth 2,000 yuan.
She gave this red envelope for a purpose.
With the temptation of the two thousand yuan thank you red envelope, the stylists and makeup artists would not dare to take the three thousand yuan and not do things properly, otherwise they would not get the thank you red envelope.
The stylists and makeup artists carried the red envelopes with them and happily went to apply makeup and styling to Lin Mai's model.
Tao Zhiyun gave Lin Mai a thumbs up in admiration.
Lin Mai's brain circuit is always different from ordinary people, and he can always think about problems in an unconventional way.
Lin Mai's model team is the top twenty winner of the Jinxiu Cup Model Contest.
When Jinxiu Clothing held this model competition, it was promised that the first, second and third place runners-up would not only receive high bonuses, but also be endorsed by Jinxiu Clothing for a year in advertising.
For the top twenty contestants, as long as there is a catwalk event for Jinxiu Clothing, they will be given priority.
Currently, there are basically no fashion catwalk events in mainland China, so this group of models only have Jinxiu Clothing to invite them to catwalk. They cherish every opportunity.
This group of girls with top-notch figures and looks were selected from tens of thousands of people in auditions and fought one after another.
All of them have rich experience on the catwalk, and their runway shows are steady and steady.
When they filed out from the backstage on catwalk wearing fashions designed by Tao Zhiyun and Lin Mai.
The exquisite makeup, the finishing touches, and especially the fashionable and unique clothes immediately touched the hearts of the judges and attracted the burning eyes of many dealers in the audience.
After a performance, the audience burst into applause.
Everyone was still unfinished, except for the director named Deng Gangsheng who was standing backstage with a completely black face.
He immediately went to the makeup artist and stylist's lounge and asked with a cold face: "Who put makeup and styling on those Beigu girls?"
Bei Gu is a discriminatory term given to mainland women by Hong Kong people.
As soon as Deng Gangsheng finished speaking, two major sponsors of the fashion festival walked in.
One of the big bosses named Zeng asked him sullenly: "What? With your face, you can't put makeup on Bei Gu?"
Deng Gangsheng was so frightened that he immediately fell silent.
He looked down on the mainlanders and wanted to use his power as director to make the beautiful clothes from afar look embarrassing.
But he didn't expect that the two major sponsors would suddenly come backstage and happen to see him using his power to suppress the participating teams from mainland China.
What surprised Deng Gangsheng even more was that the two major sponsors were followed by the chairman of the organizing committee.
When Deng Gangsheng saw Lin Mai following behind the chairman, he understood everything.
Neither the two major sponsors nor the chairman of the organizing committee appeared by chance, but were invited by the Beigu.
His guess was absolutely correct, these three big guys were all invited by Lin Mai.
The people in the organizing committee were discriminatory against the participating teams from mainland China and deliberately suppressed Jinxiu Clothing.
But even sponsors are biased against teams from mainland China.
But I still hope that this catwalk event will be a success, and I don’t want anyone to cause trouble.
Because only if it is done satisfactorily can they gain anything.
Lin Mai took advantage of this and went to the VIP seats to find these two major sponsors, reporting that someone was suppressing their team from mainland China.
She was pretty sure that the director of Jinxiu Clothing, who wanted to make things difficult for her, would definitely be furious when she saw her model's wonderful catwalk show.
Ask which makeup artist and stylist did the makeup and styling for her models, so that the Jinxiu Clothing models performed so well.
Only then did Lin Mai dare to ask two big bosses to go backstage to investigate and prove that everything she reported to them was true.
The two sponsors were very familiar with the chairman of the organizing committee and took the chairman backstage with them.
Lin Mai just wanted the three bosses to ask the makeup artists and stylists to find out the truth.
Unexpectedly, I happened to encounter Deng Gangsheng questioning the makeup artists and stylists.
This is really a man seeking death, and no one can stop him.
The chairman of the organizing committee asked Deng Gangsheng with a dark face why he suppressed the participating teams from mainland China.
Deng Gangsheng pursed his lips and couldn't answer.
The director had already caught him, and there was no need for Lin Mai to stay any longer. She said hello to the three bosses and left.
The two makeup artists and stylists who received her red envelopes gratefully and imperceptibly bent their eyes at Lin Mai to show their smiles.
Although they were able to deal with the director, if Lin Mai stepped in to deal with Deng Gangsheng, they would not have to offend him, which would be more beneficial to them.
Lin Mai came to the front auditorium, sat down next to Tao Zhiyun, and watched the catwalk show with her.
After a while, all the catwalks were over, and the judges awarded first prize, second prize and other awards.
Tao Zhiyun not only won the first prize, but also won the most creative award.
The host invited her to appear on stage.
Tao Zhiyun wore her hair neatly in a bun, wore a sweet yet mature mini-skirt, and gracefully walked onto the stage with her team of models.
She first bowed deeply to the audience, then stood in a row hand in hand with the models and walked towards the front of the stage.
However, Tao Zhiyun only took five or six steps before sending the models forward, while she stayed where she was.
Immediately, the models blocked her and the entire stage belonged to them, but Tao Zhiyun was willing to hide behind them.
Her move won everyone's respect and applause.
After the fashion show, there was a reception hosted by the organizer.
Lin Mai and Tao Zhiyun both went backstage to change into evening clothes, and by the way went to the lounge to pay the makeup artist and the stylist a red envelope of thanks.
The makeup artist and stylist all smiled knowingly when they received the red envelope Lin Mai secretly pushed into their hands.
When Lin Mai came out of the lounge, he saw Deng Gangsheng carrying his belongings and being escorted out of the director's office by a security guard. He looked like he had been fired.
When Deng Gangsheng passed by Lin Mai, he gave Lin Mai a hard look.
Lin Mai also glared at him fiercely.
Who is afraid of whom? We will hurt each other!
Some people just bully the weak and fear the strong. Lin Mai acted tough, and Deng Gangsheng was afraid.
He didn't dare to fight with Lin Mai anymore and walked away quickly.
When he left, Lin Mai said that the platinum necklace around her neck was missing.
Just now, only Deng Gangsheng passed by her.
With her yelling like this, it is easy for people to suspect that Deng Gangsheng picked up her necklace.
Lin Mai just wants people to misunderstand him.
She was not afraid at all that Deng Gangsheng would come to her door.
She didn't say that he picked up her necklace, so it was none of her business if others made random guesses.
A group of them came to Hong Kong without provoking him, but because he looked down on mainlanders and they were suppressed by him, she would definitely make him suffer.
