1784 Difficult kid
This is Vanity Fair. Melvin isn't the first person to profit from Renly's name, and he won't be the last..
In fact, looking at it from another perspective, isn't this the case for Disney, which is trying to use Renly's "invincible halo" to open up the situation? This is Renly's momentum in the entire Hollywood. It seems that he only needs a little halo fragment to easily allow others to enjoy endless conveniences. Compared with the negative rumors on social networks, Renly's status and Influence is unshakable.
For the uninitiated, the "anti-Renly" voices on social networks have become louder and louder, creating the illusion that the whole world is on the opposite side of Renly. The vast momentum seems to be making Renly fall into a professional trap. The biggest crisis of his career. It’s not just the prospect of the Oscars season. It seems that even Renly is losing people’s support and love in terms of market appeal..
For insiders, Renly's strength is still rising steadily. Whether it is the box office trend curve of "The Ballad of Drunkenness" and "Gravity", or the vultures headed by Melvin circling for a long time, all of this is either directly or It indirectly proves Renly's unparalleled influence in the industry. As for those rumors, they have no power at all and are not worth mentioning..
The psychological gap created by this difference just proves one thing: information asymmetry caused by class differences, living environment and ideology still exists objectively, even in the Internet age of the ocean of information. At the same time, It can be proven that the results of the 2016 US presidential election and the UK's Brexit were completely opposite to the results of the polls - "an upset" that shocked the elites and caught them off guard..
Mainstream opinions may not always be what they seem on the surface. In the information ocean of the Internet age, people are able to control more and more information resources, and they claim to have a deeper and broader understanding of the world, but It is becoming more and more difficult to filter and judge among the numerous information. Many times - even most of the time, appearances are deceptive..
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Melvin took advantage of Renly's aura, broke the shackles of his career, and made breakthrough progress; but all this ended today: Andy clarified the facts, and Lydia then the subsequent——
Lydia did not use thunderous means to cut off all Melvin's escape routes, because there was no need to kill everyone; she just revealed the truth of the matter, and the rest of the matter fell into place naturally. Regarding the "unforgettable relationship between Melvin and Renly" "Stories Untold" presents a completely different template, which is eye-opening.
“Mocking Renly's taste in suits”？
This should be one of the most absurd and hilarious fashion anecdotes in the new century. The problem is not Melvin’s attitude—it’s not surprising that things go up and down; it’s about Melvin’s professionalism—if he Even Renly's taste in suits can't be approved, so can he still hold his own as a stylist?？
Although Renly did not say anything about "banning Melvin" on any occasion, the rumors were enough to put Melvin behind bars..
Melvin still refuses to surrender and tries to work hard in the fashion world - even Renly can't cover the sky with one hand, can he? But he forgot that in many cases, the fashion circle is a crueler and more bloody circle than the film circle..
Throw away awards season collaborations.
Throw away long-term cooperation with actors.
Throw away magazine interviews.
Lose exposure opportunities.
Throw away the party invitation.
Most importantly, lose brand sponsorships.
When a stylist loses brand sponsorship, it also means that his development path has come to an end..
Things developed far faster and more fiercely than imagined. Melvin's career began to fall apart almost visibly, and the overall collapse speed was beyond imagination; but he was helpless. It seems a bit fanciful to say that. The truth is, Renly didn’t even need to take action himself. He just spread the word. The fashion world couldn’t wait to take Renly’s place and raised his sword, cutting off all Melvin’s escape routes..
Of course, the name "Melvin Blades" is still convincing and attractive enough to third- and fourth-tier actors, and he will not be unable to find a job; however, from the focus of attention, The sharp and violent gap between being in the center of focus and being out of the spotlight is a more terrifying torture, making him look ugly and embarrassed..
But does anyone care?？
The so-called unknown person is - even if he is thrown into the water, he will not be able to create a single wave. He has already regained his composure before even having time to create ripples..
……
“So which brand of suit did you choose in the end?？”
Renly cast his gaze towards Mei Duo. Mei Duo's eyes flashed with curiosity, and her eager eyes were scorching and hot with a bit of gossip. This made Renly couldn't help but chuckle, "Mei Duo, what on earth is it?" Are you curious, or are your friends curious?？”
“Hey Renly! You don’t have to answer, but you can’t doubt my character! "Mei Duo straightened his back immediately and expressed his strong protest..
Renly didn't speak, just stared at Mei Duo quietly, with a half-smiling look in his eyes, which made Mei Duo lose little by little. In the end, he still couldn't resist and raised his hand. He raised his hands to express surrender and broke the news self-defeatingly, "Okay, okay! My friends！”
“Meadow! "Paul sitting next to him widened his eyes and exclaimed in disbelief..
Mei Duo looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed, "I know, I know. I shouldn't be like this. Renly has enough headaches with these gossips, and I shouldn't add to the trouble; but, dad, you know what little girls do.……”
“No, he doesn't know." The smile on the corner of Renly's mouth rose slightly, interrupting Meadow's words, and then you can see that Meadow and Paul were both stunned. Meadow opened her mouth slightly, but found that she Unable to refute, Paul simply raised his hands to express surrender. Renly then said, "This is not a big deal, let alone a secret. I finally chose the suit designed by George Wilkes..”
“who? "Mei Duo's head is full of question marks, and he doesn't even remember that top brands have such a number one figure..
Renly said with a smile, "It doesn't matter who he is, what's important is that his design is the most suitable for me..”
George Wilkes, Renly's evening gown for attending the Golden Globe Awards for the first time was designed by him. At that time, he was just a fledgling unknown, while Renly was a rising star; in the years since, Renly's career showed a triple-jump curve, but George did not take advantage of Renly's fame to open up the situation, and still devoted himself to running his own personal brand - not to mention a huge career success, but he could be said to have established a firm foothold..
Wilkes' outstanding ability mainly lies in the unique combination of colors and fabrics. He is often able to create more novel styles through the different textures of colors and materials based on simple and elegant line tailoring. When they first cooperated, he His abilities were not yet evident, but now he has gradually formed his own style, winning Renly's love at a glance..
Faced with Renly's simple words, Meadow rolled her eyes mercilessly, spread her hands, "I can't refute." Then she turned to look at Paul, "Dad, you also need to show this kind of confidence. Do you know？”
“You know there is nothing I can do." Paul waved his hands repeatedly to express his "innocence", and then looked at Renly with a smile, "Except for Renly, I can't think of anyone else who can not let this kind of confidence go. I'm disgusting." He paused slightly, "The designer should be fine now, right? He didn't continue to spread any negative remarks, right?？”
who？
Renly frowned slightly, his eyes showing confusion..
“It's the designer named Melvin. Is he still spreading rumors behind his back? "Paul said matter-of-factly, "I just heard that Chris Hemsworth had planned to terminate the partnership, but Melvin finally met with Chris in person and successfully persuaded him to make this partnership a reality. The cooperation continued. In situations like theirs, they always like to make random arrangements behind their backs, and the dirty talk of nonsense can never be avoided..”
This is true for any industry: it is difficult to establish a good reputation for a brand image. An accident, a rumor, or a slander may make countless previous efforts come to nothing, and this is even more true in Vanity Fair, because those slanders and slanders are not There is no cost at all. This is why the devil is difficult to deal with.
Renly suddenly realized at this moment - he was serious, he didn't remember Melvin at all. After the episode of the fitting that day, he simply forgot about it. Although it was a bit arrogant to say so, the fact was That is, Melvin is simply not worth Renly's time and energy to remember. Even grudges and worries are redundant..
Sensing the worry from Paul, Renly looked at Meadow and said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you not to let your father know about these boring gossips? He has been bored in the hospital for too long. Be careful to become those makeup artists and assistants, all their thoughts are focused on these trivial gossips.”
“It's not me, it's the nurses, okay? "Mei Duo raised his hands in protest..
Paul's attention was also diverted and he laughed out loud, "I can't help it. The patients and nurses here are all gossiping. Everyone stays here, idle and moldy. Those gossips are support. The only spice of life, I feel like in the past month, I have realized a completely different Hollywood.”
“This is not a good sign." Renly had a sad expression on his face and shook his head repeatedly..
Paul tried to protest, but then realized that he would definitely not be able to defeat Renly. Then his thoughts came to his senses, and he immediately realized that his focus had been diverted, "Hey! Hey! Renly Hall, don't change the subject, let's We were discussing another thing just now. Did you do it on purpose?？”
“It's only you who are discussing, and neither Me nor Meadow is involved." Renly looked like he was shaking off the shopkeeper, and said nothing..
