Dior Seeks Collaboration: Closing Ceremony Red Carpet Show

Zhou Yan, Wang Xiaoshuai, Gao Yuanyuan, and Cui Lin all came over.

"Teacher Gong, thank you for making this trip," Wang Xiaoshuai said gratefully.

Gong Li wasn't supposed to come, but she came anyway.

The purpose is self-evident: to garner votes for "Beijing Bicycle".

"We're all family, no need for formalities," Gong Li waved her hand. "I'm just doing my best, and the final result will be judged by the work itself."

Gong Li not only spoke up for "Beijing Bicycle", but also for Zhou Yan.

But whether she wins the award or not is not up to her.

After all, she's not a judge now.

"In any case, we are very grateful to you," Wang Xiaoshuai said gratefully.

After all, Gong Li had no obligation to help herself.

Gong Li didn't dwell on it too much. "Their response was good, especially Zhou Yan. They were very impressed with you and you have a chance to win an award."

Gong Li didn't dare to make any definitive statements, in case she didn't win an award.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan felt a surge of excitement.

Who wouldn't want to win an award?

Winning awards is the fastest way to elevate your status.

Especially the three major film awards.

Just look at Xin Zilei and you'll know.

What was the other person's status before winning the award?

I couldn't even get into the first three rows at the awards ceremony.

What level of status will you have after winning the award?

In the second row of the awards ceremony, Yang Mi and Xiao Zhan were positioned as the main center, flanked by Yang Mi and Xiao Zhan respectively.

Who are Yang Mi and Xiao Zhan?

Definitely a top influencer.

So this is the reality of how prestigious an important award can be.

As for why it's not the first row?

Because the first row is reserved for capital.

……

The day after the premiere, the jury gave "Beijing Bicycle" a high score of 3.3.

Wang Xiaoshuai's confidence soared upon seeing this score, as if he could already see himself holding the Golden Bear Award.

In the past few days, more and more people have come to see Zhou Yan.

They weren't looking for him to make a movie; they were looking for a business collaboration.

Zhou Yan's photo in a suit is quite eye-catching and has been reprinted by many media outlets.

In particular, a black-and-white photograph, with a cold gaze and a handsome face, caused a sensation in Europe as soon as it was published.

This has led to an increasing number of people seeking cooperation.

Zhou Yan has an amazing sense of style.

Even without packaging, they're like this.

With a little packaging from them, it'll take off!

Of all the potential partners, Dior was the first brand to approach them.

Moreover, they showed sufficient sincerity from the very beginning.

They were willing to custom-make high-end luxury gowns for Zhou Yan free of charge, on the condition that Zhou Yan wear their brand clothing when walking the red carpet.

It's worth noting that many celebrities and big names pay to rent clothing from these high-end luxury brands.

Now Dior has taken the initiative to approach them seeking cooperation.

In addition, Dior promised Zhou Yan that they could even help him secure awards, if he wished.

Don't doubt Dior's abilities.

They certainly have the ability and the connections.

Of course, this comes with a condition: Zhou Yan needs to sign a five-year endorsement contract.

Zhou Yan did not agree.

After much back and forth, Zhou Yan and Dior signed a three-year contract worth 150 million euros, equivalent to approximately 1200 million yuan.

That's equivalent to 400 million RMB a year, which is quite a generous offer.

Keep in mind that at that time, Andy Lau only earned 500 million a year.

However, Zhou Yan's value will definitely skyrocket after he wins the "Best Actor" award.

But without Dior's help, he wouldn't have won the Best Actor award.

So, this business seems profitable no matter how you look at it.

Zhou Yan readily agreed.

Dior also benefited; they signed Zhou Yan to a three-year, €150 million contract, and his value will definitely skyrocket once he wins the Best Actor award.

Most importantly, they valued Zhou Yan's future potential.

The other person's sense of style is absolutely enough to cause a sensation.

……

Before we knew it, it was time for the closing ceremony.

The closing ceremony was much more grand than the opening ceremony.

Because this day is the day of the awards ceremony.

Reporters from various countries arrived at the scene, armed with cameras and microphones.

This included journalists from China.

Zhou Yan, dressed in a high-end Dior suit, once again stepped onto the red carpet.

The moment he stepped onto the red carpet, his good fortune struck again.

All eyes were focused on Zhou Yan, who seemed to be glowing.

In an instant, a flurry of flashes went off.

After their last photoshoot of Zhou Yan, their photos sold out instantly, so they naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Zhou Yan was elegant and handsome, like a noble prince, making everyone feel inferior.

Those unfamiliar with the place might mistake it for a royal prince from some country.

The Dior representative was also in the crowd, and when he saw Zhou Yan stepping out of the car, his expression changed drastically.

The other person's aura, combined with their perfectly proportioned physique, made him feel as if he were seeing a work of Michelangelo.

At that moment, Zhou Yan truly resembled a work of art, radiating artistic beauty from head to toe.

The Dior executive snapped out of his daze, overjoyed.

He knew he had made the right bet.

Zhou Yan is absolutely worth Dior's investment.

"Fortunately, fortunately we got there first," the person in charge thought with great relief. He knew that after them, brands such as LV, Givenchy, and Chanel seemed to have contacted Zhou Yan.

Perhaps their conditions aren't as good as theirs.

Perhaps there are other reasons.

Zhou Yan ultimately chose to sign with them.

Executives at high-end luxury brands like LV, Givenchy, and Chanel must be kicking themselves when they see this.

They were very clear about what they had missed.

Zhou Yan is definitely a darling of the fashion world.

"We must secure their endorsement contract in three years," the heads of several brands secretly vowed.

……

Zhou Yan was unaware of what everyone was thinking as she stepped onto the red carpet, welcoming the dense barrage of flashing lights.

From this day forward, he will be the brightest star.

Gong Li stood in the crowd chatting with her friends, her face full of sighs.

Zhou Yan, this young man, has truly risen to prominence.

Media outlets around the world took photos like crazy, without any concern for the film roll.

Gao Yuanyuan smiled radiantly as she walked the red carpet with Cui Lin and Wang Xiaoshuai.

The four people walked the red carpet and then entered the venue under the guidance of staff.

The four people were seated together, so they were very close together.

"Hello, I'm an editor from Tatler, this is my business card," Zhou Yan said as people kept coming over to greet him after he sat down.

Zhou Yan responded politely.

"I must learn a foreign language when I get back," Zhou Yan felt the importance of a language more and more.

This will reduce the number of collaborations we can discuss.

Not long after, Gong Li came up, chatted with Zhou Yan and the others for a few words, and then went to her seat.

After waiting for more than an hour, the awards ceremony finally began.

Zhou Yan and the others also stopped talking and focused their attention on the stage.

This year's film festival is different from previous years, with the addition of a Best New Actress award and a Best New Actor award.

Zhou Yan and Cui Lin are the most likely to win this award.

As a reborn individual, Zhou Yan also knows that the Best New Actress award was won by Lee Sinje for "Love You Love Me".

The Best New Actor award was won by Cui Lin and Li Bin for their roles in "Beijing Bicycle," a tie, with the two of them raising the trophy together.

Zhou Yan even suspected that these two awards were temporarily added for the Chinese-language market and were all given to them.

The awards for other categories were presented first, and these were all smaller awards.

The applause was intermittent and not loud.

The real grand prize is in the main competition.

Soon it was time for the grand prize.

Zhou Yan instantly perked up.
