Milan, Italy,
The busy Malpensa International Airport.
A Gulfstream G500 private jet with smooth curves is approaching and landing.
The owners of such high-end business jets are usually either tycoons on the Forbes list, rock kings, or sports superstars, and airport security has a high priority.
The terminal specially delayed the landing time of two Air Berlin Airbus 320neo passenger planes that were waiting in the sky above Milan, and prioritized jumping in line to clear the runway for them.
The aircraft is covered in blue-black postmodernist-style spray painting from nose to tail, and there is a black sun on the vertical tail.
Winter Fashion Week is approaching.
This personalized and unique painting immediately attracted the attention of many paparazzi reporters in the terminal.
"Wow Gulfstream G500, is this the new plane of Dygaga in this road outfit? Is there any news that she is coming to the red carpet in Milan?"
A paparazzi picked up the hand The camera was shooting wildly at the Cthulhu-flavored Gulf Stream.
"No, Dygaga's new plane is painted in gold. Moreover, there is internal news that Dygaga has just performed the halftime show at the NFL Super Bowl and is now on vacation with his family. This month Will not attend business events."
Another paparazzi who seemed more informed retorted.
“This is the aircraft livery by illustrator DeJon Vandoorne.”
A fashion weekly reporter with a lion-like messy beard aims the viewfinder at the runway and taxis of the Gulf Stream.
"Which star is De Jong Van Doorn?"
The paparazzi seemed a little familiar with this name, but they couldn't remember it for a while.
“A well-known illustrator and fashion conglomerate, famous for designing clothes for Zara, and the designer of the official logo of the United Nations for snow protection and environmentally friendly polar regions. He should now be the chief art officer of the first-line French fashion brand Amita.”
The uncle seemed to be very good at fashion art and casually revealed Van Dorn’s identity.
“Oh, I remembered it. In the video posted by Mr. Hyperion, the author of an illustration was none other than Van Dorn.”
Someone finally remembered A video that went viral on YouTube.
“He was the useless artist who was criticized by the beautiful judge named Elena. If I remember correctly, the winner at the end of the video seemed to be an online illustrator named Detective Cat.”
"No, no, no, didn't you read the follow-up report? The judge girl is a second-generation ancestor who relied on her family name to rise to power, and she doesn't understand art at all. As for Detective Cat, she is just a cheap person who can only draw pirated Internet illustrations. It's just a painter."
"But the painting is really similar."
"The photo is more like it, but is it possible if you want to sell it for a lot of money with an ordinary photo. A cheap painter is a cheap painter, rightArt has no understanding of its own. No, I heard that the judge girl has been fired from the oil painting magazine. But Van Dorn can still fly on a private jet and come to Milan to participate in the fashion week like no one else. By the way, have any of you been associated with the Milan Fashion Week line before? Why have I never been in the trendy brand Ami? I have seen Van Dorn in the exhibition area of A. "
"Damn lame, at this time in previous years, I should still be in Paris. ”
Van Dorn looked out the window at the snow-covered city and frowned.
As one of the few top-line fashion-breaking painters, Van Dorn is undoubtedly She is one of the most profitable illustrators in the history of the industry.
An art professor like Leigh Louise only earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
However, Fan Dorn probably burns about this amount in aviation fuel and business jet maintenance fees every year when he attends various fashion weeks and fashion brand promotion conferences.
However,
He does not need to bear these expenses himself.
After Van Dorn successfully broke through the fields of fashion and environmental protection with his illustrations, he ended his career. Contract with the top gallery Lisson Gallery
Today,
Although he still accepts some high-dollar illustration contracts,
his main identity is. The chief artistic officer of the French fashion brand "Mir Amida", which specializes in environmentally friendly handicrafts.
In order to sign top artists like Van Dorn, the contract given to him by this fashion brand company includes: The US$40 million Gulfstream G500 and the rights to use a 62-foot blue water yacht anchored in a Mediterranean port.
In other words,
This belongs to As part of the artist's welfare, the company pays all the bills, and he doesn't have to pay a dime.
But Van Doorn is not without pressure.
The field of modern art style is rare. Qingshu, the fashion brand field is changing at an alarming rate.
Even the business empire of a superstar like Kanye, who once made more money every day than he can count, has collapsed. .
There are countless art designers who were very popular yesterday, but are now ignored by the market.
At this point, Van Dorn has reached this stage.
Sail against the current, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat.
Ami’s global sales in previous years ranged from one billion to one and a half billion U.S. dollars, which is considered to be in the middle and upper reaches of the leading fashion brands.
Although it has not been able to compare with Kanye’s “Coconut” in the past, and is far from established luxury goods companies such as Hermès and Chanel, the gross profit margin of this trendy brand is extremely high, and the company is still alive and well.
The Autumn and Winter Fashion Week in February every year is a vanity fair for fashion and luxury companies to build awareness of their products.
From Paris to New York, from Chanel to second-tier small brands, Supermodels with slim waists and long legs compete on the same stageDouyan.
As Amita’s chief artistic officer,
This is his first time at Milan Fashion Week.
In previous years, Van Doorn’s fixed schedule at this time was to attend the longer-established Paris Fashion Week, and participate in an exclusive interview with reporters as an art designer at the Amida new product show after the opening ceremony on the first day. .
But this year,
he was temporarily "scheduled" by the company to go to Milan Fashion Week.
This is not good news for the chief artistic officer of a French brand.
"darg, Milan Fashion Week is also very important. It is one of the four major international fashion weeks. It is no worse than Paris."
The hatch opened and the short-haired assistant and lover Standing on the gangway, I took a breath of Italian winter air.
She lazily pecked Van Dorn's earlobe, then gently held a woman's cigarette between her fingers stained with cinnamon, and lit it, "I prefer the Mediterranean in winter. We You can go skiing in the mountains by helicopter."
"You know nothing, idiot."
Van Dorn roughly slapped the cigarette out of the female assistant's hand.
When he was in a good mood, he didn't care if his female assistant smoked. Instead, he thought it was sexy. But now, he has no interest in smelling other people's second-hand smoke.
Van Dorn knows that,
Amida is a French brand,
Although the company has participated in the four major international fashion weeks.
However, given the tilt of resources, Paris Fashion Week is definitely the most important.
The best-selling or most highly regarded designer new products every year will also be displayed at the "Amida New Product Conference" during Paris Fashion Week.
As for Milan Fashion Week,
"Milan is a place that is 30 cheaper than Paris. I hate it here. Damn Italians, they have no sense of time at all."
Fandorn muttered viciously.
He got off the gangway, stood on the concrete floor in front of the hangar and looked around, and found that the hotel's Rolls-Royce airport courtesy car had not arrived yet.
While waiting,
he himself took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and started smoking.
Whenever people mention the history of Milan Fashion Week, they cannot avoid mentioning it.
It was the Italian clothing industry that was defeated by French high-end luxury goods after World War II. Finally, there was no help for the imitations carried out during Paris Fashion Week.
Just like the slogan of the first Italian Fashion Week. "Our products are 30% cheaper than those in Paris, with more exquisite workmanship and superior materials."
In Van Dorn's mind,
Milan Fashion Week is just a High imitation goods in Paris.
But in previous years, Vandoorne’s booth at Paris Fashion Week was replaced by the works of several other younger designers from Amida Company.
The company is very proud of itTang Bang "We hope to give more fresh blood the opportunity to show themselves."
Van Dorn knew the real reason.
"Damn YouTube celebrity, damn cripple judge, damn monkey internet illustrator."
He took a fierce drag on his cigarette.
In the field of fashion,
Success is also traffic, and failure is also traffic.
On the video of the world's number one internet celebrity, being sprayed bloody by an art judge was not without its impact on Van Doorn.
Especially when the judge lady is so beautiful that it makes people enchanted, this video has been played more than 500 million times.
He was originally willing to accept Thomas' invitation, but he just wanted to gain traffic.
It’s fine now,
There is indeed traffic.
But in front of hundreds of millions of viewers, he was so embarrassed.
Many young people who buy artists’ trendy brands are looking for nothing more than a “powerful style”.
The designer's own paintings were criticized as useless by an art critic from a seemingly professional corner.
This is fucking terrible.
Van Dorn’s subsequent series of counterattacks were completely out of necessity.
To be honest, he had heard of Miss Anna Elena, the heiress of the old art family’s generation.
Even though the number of people in the Elena family is now declining, and it seems that the flowers and trees will fall and the hozens will be scattered, after all, the centipede will die but not freeze.
For such a complex figure in the art circle, there is absolutely no need for him to offend others without any discernment.
But this bitch is mentally ill, right?
It’s just a curiosity video made by a big YouTube star to satisfy the audience’s curiosity. Why are you so serious?
Fandorn had even doubted,
Whether Anna and the unknown online illustrator knew each other personally. This video was simply a set up to step on her. A game where people are famous.
As soon as he thought about it,
he threw the idea away from his mind.
Even Fan Dorn has to admit that the quality of the online illustrator is really good.
If you are a friend of the Elena family, there are some normal ways to become famous.
There is absolutely no need to do this.
"Fortunately, she is too young. Fortunately, that guy is just a worthless online cartoonist."
Fandorn felt that his response was overall It is very appropriate,
Whether it is putting pressure on the board of directors of Oil Painting Magazine, slandering Anna in the interview that she relied on her family’s reputation to get to the position, or saying that the African painter only knows how to paint stereotypes and has no interest in art. Monkeys who know nothing about ideas work well.
The latter is not actually a slander,
That’s what Fan Dorn thought in his heart.
If the companyPublic opinion believes that Anna is simply a second-generation ancestor who rose to power through her family's reputation, so her original doubts about herself are not critical.
As for the future of the African illustrator, has he been treated unfairly?
Who the hell cares?
"My dear, don't be angry, that limp bitch in the oil painting has already paid the price."
The assistant smiled coquettishly to please.
To be the one closest to the top among the many canaries around Fan Dorn, her emotional intelligence is still quite high, "Moreover, although Milan is 30 cheaper than Paris, it is of higher quality. Isn't it?"
"The bitch is to blame."
Fandorn snorted, feeling a little comfortable being photographed.
The final result of this matter seems to be the end of this.
The forced marriage with the oil painting magazine was much smoother than he imagined.
Even what he once worried about that the art critic lady would put pressure on him through her connections in the art circle did not happen.
It seems that
the once glorious Irina family is indeed just a paper tiger now.
As for Amita, after so many years, this trendy brand has become deeply bound to me.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
It’s not that easy to kick yourself away.
It is estimated that once this storm passes, everything will almost return to normal.
"Mr. Van Dorn, Mr. Van Dorn, why did Amita Company arrange for you to be at the Milan booth this year instead of the Paris booth in previous years? Does this mean that you will be among the array of brand designers? Is this the impact of the video of Mr. Hyperion, the YouTube celebrity, taking a back seat?"
At this moment, a harsh voice directed a series of questions at Fan like a barrage of questions. Dawn threw it over.
Fandorn turned his head, just in time to see a middle-aged man with a camera hanging on his chest jump out of an airport shuttle bus.
The other party yelled and ran towards his position.
"Fuck the airport security guards. They let the paparazzi in anyway."
Van Dorn was very annoyed.
He didn't want to pay attention to this tabloid reporter at all. When he saw that the hotel's welcome car had already arrived, he was about to get in the car.
"You just hit your female assistant, and I captured the photo."
The threatening voice of the middle-aged uncle came from behind him.
"Which magazine are you a reporter for?"
Van Dorn turned his head, with anger in his tone.
He didn’t expect that the scene where he accidentally slapped the cigarette from the female assistant’s hand would be caught on camera.
"If you dare to publish this photo, prepare for a lawsuit." Van Dorn scolded.
"A question, Mr. Vandoorne, as long as you can answer it seriouslyIf I ask a question, I will delete the photo immediately. "
The middle-aged uncle raised a finger, "Please, Mr. Van Dorn, I gave the shuttle bus driver 200 euros. You have to ask me something." "
"Which magazine are you a reporter for?" Van Dorn asked with his eyebrows twisted.
"Fashion hodgepodge. ”
Van Dorn has never heard of this newspaper.
It is probably the tabloid.
But tabloids have no bottom line.
< p>He knows that the other party's behavior is illegal, but entertainment reporters from such tabloids are not afraid of lawsuits or going to jail, but they are afraid of not getting news.Hitting a woman can be a big or small matter. p>
Van Dorn really doesn’t want to get involved in this kind of shit now.
“Well, it’s just a question. ”
“And it can’t be the ones just now. If you don’t want to, just see me in court. "Fandorn said indifferently.
The middle-aged reporter held up the recorder on his cell phone and thought for a moment, "In that case, let's talk about the detective cat. You once called him a cat who can play basic scales. monkey. But Director Tonks of the Taylor National Gallery is actually willing to accept the invitation to talk about serious art with him on the Apple blog. Do you have anything to comment on this behavior? Do you think this is his declaration of war on you?"
He pulled up Mr. Sloth's poster on his phone.
"Declaration of war, no, no, no, I am an artist. And he was just a poor printer. "
Van Dorn smiled, "We are not on the same track as Ben. How could a dwarf declare war on a giant. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
