Chapter 580: 580 Slap in the face, personnel announced! [2 updates]

"Half a year without a single piece of news, and no paparazzi have snapped a photo of Shen Xinghe below, I have a bold guess, Shen Xinghe is 27 this year, could she have gone abroad to have a baby?"

"It’s very likely, Shen Xinghe looks like a dominating female lead, how come she’s a romance fanatic? Getting married and having children in secrecy during the rising phase of her career?"

"What Shen Xinghe, Wei Qingyao, forget about it, an industry insider once said, Pulling the Sky’s haute couture wouldn’t likely be given to domestic stars, but if Pulling the Sky wants to compete for the luxury title, they would definitely invite well-known stars from Global Center to promote it."

"This isn’t good, right? A national brand using foreign artists for promotion, isn’t this worshipping foreigners?"

"Stepping back, Sheng Entertainment doesn’t have the capital to compete with those big performance companies at Global Center, so forget it all."

...

With controversial comments increasing, not many people paid attention to the "Bihai" and "Yuntian" high couture collections.

Today, Pulling the Sky merely unveiled "Blue Sea Tide" and "Sea Night Heart" from the "Bihai" series and "Cloud Sky Bright Moon" and "Cloud Sky Autumn Sound" from the "Yuntian" series.

However, the core works of these two collections, "Bihai Dragon Roar" and "Yuntian Fengming" still had no visuals disclosed.

Entertainment reporters even staked out at the entrance of Pulling the Sky Company, and despite bribing insiders, they still obtained no news about these two core collections.

But—

Merely the four sets of haute couture officially released today had already captured the attention of everyone in the fashion industry.

When Shen Zhou National Style and modernity merged, it was like two stars colliding, causing a fierce chemical reaction, providing people with an immensely strong visual impact.

While the designs of the three top luxury brands Catika, Freya Yinnide, and Seres were on the decline, how could Pulling the Sky, which made a brilliant debut, not attract attention?

Almost that same night, an uninvited guest from the Universal Center appeared in Director Fang Qingli’s office.

"Director Fang, this is Miss Wendy Ellis," the middle-aged man introduced, "I am Miss Wendy’s manager, pleased to meet you for the first time."

The middle-aged man spoke in a foreign language, and although polite, his words lacked a sense of respect.

Wendy Ellis, 28 years old this year, a second-tier star at Universal Center, but also a recipient of numerous international film and television supporting role awards.

Of course, in terms of status in the international entertainment circle, she far surpasses Shen Xinghe and Wei Qingyao.

Any celebrity from the first or second tier of Universal Center, if placed in other regions, would be considered a super first-tier presence.

That was also why Ye Wanlan, six months ago, had cleared up all relations to send Shen Xinghe to Universal Center.

For 300 years, Universal Center has monopolized the fields of culture, economy, politics, art, and beyond.

The world’s 0.01% held 99.99% of the power, not allowing anyone else to take even a fraction of it.

And she, Ye Wanlan, insisted on breaking this situation.

Having followed Ye Wanlan for a long time, Fang Qingli was used to this kind of scenario; she spoke indifferently, "What can I do for you?"

This detached and perfunctory attitude displeased the middle-aged man.

If it weren’t for their interest in Pulling the Sky Company’s designs, they would not have directly deployed a private jet.

"I’m very sorry, our boss has already reached a cooperation with Shengshi Entertainment, and all six haute couture dresses have been reserved," Fang Qingli smiled slightly, "You’ve come here for nothing."

"What? Shengshi Entertainment?" the middle-aged man raised his voice sharply, his face showing signs of agitation, "We represent Universal Film and Television Company! Director Fang, you can’t really think Sheng Entertaiment is a match for us?"

Shengshi Entertainment indeed rules half of Domestic Entertainment, but internationally, what does it amount to?

How dare they compete with them?

"This is the boss’s decision, and I have no say," Fang Qingli remained calm, "Please leave."

"Alright... fine, you!" the middle-aged man, his face a contentious mix of emotions, derided, "Such short-sightedness, you at Pulling the Sky still want to compete for the top luxury? I wonder how many years it will take for you to reach that status!"

He left the Pulling the Sky Company angrily, taking Wendy Ellis with him.

Before many luxury brands establish themselves, they would hire influential spokespersons to showcase their products.

By not doing so, isn’t Pulling the Sky neglecting to raise their international influence?

The middle-aged man couldn’t understand it at all.

Logically, with the current rate of development at Pulling the Sky, its founder must be a person of great intelligence and foresight, so how could such an oversight occur on this matter?

"Wendy, to be honest, Pulling the Sky’s current position isn’t stable enough; their loss in not collaborating with us, not ours," the middle-aged man turned and consoled, "This season’s first choice for WD’s haute couture under MN Group is you."

Wendy’s expression looked unpleasant, "Hmm, it’s still better to collaborate with WD. After all, it’s a brand under the MN Group, and it will be easier to advance later."

"Sister Lan, it seems that Jiang Xulin’s designs for the ceremony are very successful," Fang Qingli said happily. "I’ve already declined quite a few calls from the Global Center, telling them we’ve already entered into deep cooperation with Shengshi Entertainment, all at the boss’s behest."

"These haute couture pieces are indeed remarkable," Ye Wanlan nodded slightly. "Even if worn by foreigners, they wouldn’t seem out of place, but our haute couture must be worn by our own people first."

The significance of being the first to wear haute couture globally is completely different in the fashion world; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many stars vying for this exclusivity.

"Of course, if they look down on us, why should we cater to them?" Fang Qingli snorted twice. "Sister Lan, you didn’t see how that agent was giving me dirty looks just now, as if our company would collapse if we didn’t choose his artist."

"There’s no need to bother with them," Ye Wanlan said indifferently. "Everything will become clear."

A "ding" sound chimed, indicating a new message on her phone.

[World’s Richest]: These two outfits are so beautiful. Can I own them?

[Deadly Poison Master]: Wow! Sister YN’s company is really making big moves quietly!

[YN]: Yes, I’ve reserved a set for you, but changed it to the blue you like.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Rich Sister dotes on Sister YN, Sister YN also dotes on Rich Sister. I’m the only pitiful one with no one to love or spoil.

[World’s Richest]: Good that you know.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: *whine*

Ye Wanlan turned off her phone and said to Fang Qingli, "Qingli, proceed with the publicity as usual. Tingting dislikes appearing in front of outsiders, so he will wear a mask and accompany me to the opening ceremony of Treasures of The Divine Land."

"Leave everything to me," Fang Qingli patted her chest and grinned. "You can count on me."

Ye Wanlan smiled slightly and left the office.

Having dealt with all the matters, she walked back to the Lin Mansion with Yan Tingfeng.

Yan Tingfeng pondered for a moment, "Xiao Wan also likes this dress?"

"Mhm," Ye Wanlan said lazily. "I like all beautiful dresses."

She enjoyed the taste of power while wearing these dresses even more.

"I understand," Yan Tingfeng said thoughtfully with a smile. "Even fighting in a dress looks good."

He would accompany her in doing anything Ye Wanlan wished.

In secrecy, Bing He and Tie Ma were cracking sunflower seeds.

"Tietie, have you noticed that ever since the Young Master met Miss Ye, he’s been changing more and more," Bing He sighed. "Definitely not going to sunbathe under the moon anymore. What kind of power is this? It’s love! A mighty love!"

Tie Ma remained expressionless.

He had noticed but didn’t understand.

"Your EQ is too low," Bing He waved his hand dismissively. "If you wanna get a raise, you’ll have to rely on me."

Tie Ma: "..."

He just feared Bing He would say something wrong and not just fail to get a raise, but lose his job entirely.

The next morning at ten, amidst eager anticipation from netizens, Pulling the Sky Company announced the selections for haute couture.

[@Pulling the Sky V: Sea Night Heart, Breeze of Love, Pulling the Sky joins hands with Miss Nie Shuangyi to compose a divine Bihai melody!]

[Nie Shuangyi? Isn’t that the female lead from Annus Mirabilis? Wow, her fashion resources are too good, Sheng Entertaiment actually secured her Pulling the Sky’s haute couture?]

[Sheng Ent is awesome! Does this mean Sheng Ent has beaten powerful foreign rivals?]

[Aaaaah, if Nie Shuangyi can get one, then our Qingyao must have one too!]

[Shen Xinghe is really too low, it’s one thing not to surpass Wei Qingyao, but how can she not even beat the newcomer Nie Shuangyi?]

Ten minutes later, the second official announcement refreshed.
