Zhang Yongsheng nodded silently and dialed Liu Yang's phone number. After a while of conversation, he confirmed from Liu Yang that they would have tickets as long as they arrived before three in the afternoon. Bai Zhixuan was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect Zhang Yongsheng to have such great powers in Jiangyuan.
Zhang Yongsheng explained proudly: "Liu Yang is Aunt Liang's business friend. We have had several meals together. His wife's name is Wang Xin. She was also a famous model in the past and has quite a network of connections. I just called and asked, no. To think he could actually get tickets to the fashion show.”
Bai Zhixuan was even more surprised, and asked with her eyes widened: "Is the Wang Xin you are talking about tall, with big breasts, long legs, and very coquettish appearance? She was a model before she became a model. A person who practices taekwondo, who changed his profession to be a model after failing the professional team test?"
Zhang Yongsheng thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Most of what you said is in line. Her Taekwondo is just like that. She can't even do a move in my hands. I don't know if she has passed the professional team test. This I couldn’t ask about the past, so we just chatted casually over the wine table.”
Bai Zhixuan nodded and confirmed: "It should be her. The one who won the first prize in the national model competition was in Jiangyuan. There is no one else except her. I heard that she has a modeling company, which Several models are also well-known and considered to have great potential.”
Zhang Yongsheng smiled and said: "You know so much about the modeling industry now? You can be considered half-experienced in the industry."
Bai Zhixuan said modestly: "I heard this all from what others told me. It doesn't count as an entry into the industry. We are just starting now and are in the basic stage. Watching these performances and competitions will also increase our knowledge. Only in the future will we study systematically when we enter university. , modeling seems simple, but there are still many subjects.”
Zhang Yongsheng didn’t quite understand this, so he asked curiously: “Besides selling clothes and cars, what else can a model do?”
Bai Zhixuan rolled her eyes at Zhang Yongsheng and said coquettishly: "You are really ignorant. You only know about beauties in magazines. These two are model performances, and others include venue design, clothing design, media fashion editing, and advertising planning. , host and other directions.”
Zhang Yongsheng was a little dumbfounded. He really didn't care about these things. Usually he and Zhao Yunfei read some fashion magazines and saw the glamorous models and beauties on them. Most of them were selling cars or clothes. He thought that modeling was just for this profession, just to be young and beautiful.
He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect that you guys have a lot of homework. I really underestimate this industry. It seems that I have to take time to make up for the lessons and learn more about it."
Bai Zhixuan was in a much better mood and said cheerfully: "I didn't know that before. It took me so long to take classes to understand a little bit. This is an emerging industry, and there are only a few universities recruiting students, and they all use imported materials imported from abroad. Textbooks. If a model wants to be successful, she still needs to study abroad."
The two of them were shopping in the business district hand in hand. Bai Zhixuan introduced many things that Zhang Yongsheng had learned in the past two months. Especially when walking to the clothing area and makeup area, Bai Zhixuan became much more professional. She explained all kinds of clothing, cosmetics and tools clearly, and Zhang Yongsheng could only nod his head.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two took a taxi to the convention and exhibition center in Jianghui District. This was originally a suburb, but now it is the latest development zone in Jiangyuan. Because it is located at the convergence of three rivers, transportation is very convenient and the population is very dense. It is the main direction of future urban expansion in Jiangyuan.
There are more high-rise buildings here than in the metropolitan area and Nanhua District, which are prosperous city centers, and they are all dozens of skyscrapers. The streets here are very wide and full of modern-style buildings. Compared with here, although the urban area is prosperous, it has a richer historical flavor.
The Convention and Exhibition Center in Jianghui District is very large, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres and is a huge building complex. There are not only areas for various exhibition halls, but also areas for tourism and leisure such as hotels, shopping malls, and pedestrian streets. It has attracted a large number of tourists since its completion a year ago, and it is even more lively during holidays.
Bai Zhixuan came here once last month, to visit Jiangyuan's annual auto show. Others come mainly to see the cars, but she mainly comes to see the models and the layout and design of their venues. This place was an eye-opener for her, as if she had entered another world, and she felt very shocked.
Under the leadership of Bai Zhixuan, Zhang Yongsheng shuttled among the buildings of the Convention and Exhibition Center, and he was dazzled by the dazzling various modern art works. Due to time constraints, he had no time to take a closer look, so he was pulled by Bai Zhixuan to the gate of the main exhibition hall of the Convention and Exhibition Center.
This is a very large square, with sheds and billboards set up outside, and a red carpet laid out, making it look very grand. Media, star-struck fans and visitors from all over gathered here and slowly entered the venue following the guidance of the conference staff.
The official first catwalk started at 3:30, and the guests started walking on the red carpet at 3 o'clock. It was still fifteen minutes before 3 o'clock, but both sides of the red carpet were already crowded with people. Zhang Yongsheng and Bai Zhixuan couldn't squeeze in, so they had to find a place with few people to call Liu Yang.
After a while, Liu Yang came out of the employee passage with a follower and found Zhang Yongsheng. The weather today was a bit sultry, but he was dressed very formally, in a suit and leather shoes, looking like an upper class person. The sun was still a little hot at this time, and it made his forehead be covered with fine beads of sweat.
Zhang Yongsheng looked at him like this and joked: "Brother Liu, isn't it hot for you in this weather? Why are you dressed like this?"
Liu Yang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to either. Your sister-in-law wants to walk on the red carpet, so she has to drag me to accompany her. Walking on the red carpet in such a hot weather is really a shame."
Zhang Yongsheng introduced him: "Brother Liu, this is my girlfriend Bai Zhixuan. She is taking a model training class in Jiangyuan and will take the exam at the end of the year. She wants to come and broaden her horizons, so I will ask you to get two tickets."
Liu Yang looked at Zhang Yongsheng, gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you have good taste. My sister and I have the qualifications to be a supermodel. I believe that I will definitely become famous in the future."
Bai Zhixuan nodded politely and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu, for your help. I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Liu Yang waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are all brothers, so we should help each other. This kind of ticket is very popular outside, but in fact there are many empty seats in the venue. Some people want to make money through this method, which is why it looks like this .I have arranged everything. You will sit at the same table with me later, in the VIP area in the front row, so you can have a clearer view."
Bai Zhixuan said with some surprise: "The VIP area? I heard that it will be broadcast on TV, will it hinder anything? After all, we are using the back door, and we are not professionals."
Liu Yang shook his head and smiled: "Brother and sister, you are worrying too much. There is not so much emphasis here. Many things are done for outsiders to see. You will know when you officially join the industry. Your sister-in-law and I sit at a small round table. The table is arranged for four people." For my personal seats, the other two are already empty, which is just convenient for you."
