Chapter 1217: Slapping the World
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Initially, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had invested a lot of publicity fees for this fashion show. Now, there was suddenly so much more publicity.
Instantly, the “Xiu Yi Fashion Show” could be seen everywhere. The netizens sensitively sensed that someone was promoting it wantonly this time.
[This advertisement is too much. I can even see this advertisement in a small village in America. It’s good to be rich.]
[After all, she’s the wife of the richest man. She has to keep up with her appearance. I wonder if she’s that powerful.]
[This over-marketing look is really annoying. It’s fine if the quality of your fashion show can pass, but if the quality drops, won’t you be embarrassed if you buy so many trending marketing topics?]
Seeing this public opinion, Jayce was very excited when he called Yu Qian to report. “Boss, you’re indeed wise. Xia Wanyuan’s reputation is especially bad now.”
Yu Qian did not speak and only shook his wine glass quietly.
He had never felt that Xia Wanyuan’s fashion show would fail.
What did that woman not succeed in??
——
Time slowly passed. Xiu Yi’s fashion show began at seven in the evening. From five in the afternoon, the live-stream of Xiu Yi’s fashion show was already filled with audiences from all over the world.
[Coming, coming. I’m waiting. I just want to see if your bragging Xia Wanyuan is that amazing.]
[I received countless notifications about this show on my phone today. This marketing is amazing.]
[Give up. No matter how well you do, you can’t do it better than Camellia. Camellia’s show is the best.]
Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already arrived at the show. The two of them were seriously regulating the people present when Chen Yun suddenly came over with a letter.
“Wanyuan, the studio suddenly received an anonymous email today. It said it was for you.”
Xia Wanyuan wanted to take it, but Jun Shiling stopped her. Jun Shiling stood up, picked up the letter, and took a look. He slowly opened it and only showed it to Xia Wanyuan after confirming that there was no problem.
There were only three simple words on the letter.
“Yanyun Dam”
Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. “What kind of place is Yanyun Dam?”
“It’s a dam a kilometer away from here,” Jun Shiling said in a low voice.
Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. Why did this person send me these three words?
Yanyun Dam… Dam… Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling seemed to have thought of the same answer.
“Stay here. I’ll settle it.” With that, Jun Shiling left.
Chen Yun was stunned. “Wanyuan, why did CEO Jun leave? What happened to the Yanyun Dam?”
Xia Wanyuan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. “It’s nothing. Tell the staff to continue working.”
“Okay.”
Seeing Chen Yun leave, Xia Wanyuan called Shen Qian. After explaining some things, she calmed down and continued working.
The sky gradually darkened and the moon began to climb the treetops.
In Yanyun Dam, a black figure was walking around a group of guards and heading towards the small house they had agreed on that day.
Just as the mysterious person on the phone had said, at this time, all the people had been arranged and no one realized that he was secretly walking in.
When he arrived at his destination, the captain flashed into the house and carefully closed the door.
This hut did not look big, but the space inside was not small. It was filled with all sorts of tools to repair the dam. In the middle of the room, there was a rusty gate.
The captain could not understand what these things were for. He could only squat quietly at the side and wait for the other party to give him a message. Then, he could put down the floodgate and retreat.
At that moment, Jun Shiling was bringing people over. The police officers in Beijing were also alarmed, and a large number of people rushed over.
The captain squatted in the house for a while and felt a little bored. Anyway, there were no windows in the house and no one could see him. He simply stood up and slowly flipped through the things in the house.
Looking left and right, a book of blueprints suddenly fell from the cabinet. The captain picked it up and flipped through it. He was suddenly shocked.
Looking at the map annotation on the blueprint, the captain turned to look at the old and rusty gate behind him and suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
The Yanyun Dam was an old dam that had been there for many years. Although it had undergone new repairs later on, there were still some projects that followed the old method.
The gate in the hut he was in was related to the key beam of a bridge hole in the dam.
The captain seemed to be able to guess what would happen later.
The Yanyun Dam was a relatively large dam in the suburbs of Beijing that blocked the water of the Yanyun Reservoir.
During this period of time, it was time to turn the upstream water into ice. The water in the reservoir had already exceeded the warning line.
And Xia Wanyuan’s field was coincidentally a kilometer downstream from the Yanyun Dam.
Coincidentally, the field was at the mountain pass. The long and narrow mountain pass was a natural funnel that would gather all the water pressure.
The captain swallowed his saliva. He could almost imagine the scene of a huge field being instantly drowned.
Thinking of this, even though he was a police officer and had seen too many big scenes, his legs could not help but tremble, and his hands trembled so much that he could not even hold his notebook.
Just as he was panicking, his phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was an anonymous message.
“Pull the switch”
The captain’s hands trembled as he glanced at the ordinary gate in front of him.
Perhaps the other party did not expect that there was still a map book missing here, so they let him in so easily?
However, now that he saw it, he was really afraid. He did not dare to imagine how many lives there were.
The captain hesitated.
However, he did not hesitate for long.
A minute later, another message was sent.
“Going back on your word? Call your wife and ask her if your son has returned home after school.”
The captain’s pupils dilated. He hurriedly called home. On the other end of the line, his wife was extremely anxious.
It turned out that their son was not home yet. Usually, he would have already started doing his homework at this time.
“I understand. Don’t be anxious.” The captain pinched his thigh. “I’m still busy. I’ll hang up first.”
With that, he hung up and replied, “I’ll do it immediately. Let my son go.”
“Do as we say and your son will naturally be safe.”
The captain clenched his fists. Even though he was filled with regret, it was useless.
He braced himself and walked over, pulling down the gate in the middle.
——
At this moment, the sky was already dark. There were only five minutes before the opening of the show.
After much publicity, not only were there domestic people watching the show, but there was also a live-stream channel on the Internet.
Everyone looked at it for a long time, but they were filled with doubts.
Why was the screen still dark??? There were only five minutes left. Could it be that the lights would only be switched on when it completely began? What kind of strange show was this?
Everyone waited. The show venue was still dark.
Until the time was seven o’clock, the show began.
A huge fire suddenly burned in the sky. The audience was shocked and thought that there was a fire. They even called 119’s phone number. At this moment, the camera changed and everyone saw that
The raging flames burned in the air without any leverage. This was purely an effect made with high-tech special effects.
A golden dragon and a phoenix emerged from the flames.
The golden dragon roared and the phoenix spread its wings. They flew out of the flames and soared in the sky, as if the entire world was ruled by them. After flying to the highest sky, they suddenly turned around and intertwined, forming a beautiful scene of a dragon and phoenix in the sky.
The flames gradually fused into their bodies, and then the dragon and phoenix gradually hid in the darkness.
The word “Xiu Yi” appeared in midair through the 3D special effects.
The comments were already stunned.
[ This… Is this the opening? Wow, wow, is it so domineering?? Awesome. ]
[I saw money burning with this special effect. As expected, it’s good to be rich. It doesn’t hurt to burn money.]
[This opening is something. I’m suddenly looking forward to this show. What’s going on?]
Not only were the audience in the live-stream shocked, but the others who were paying attention to this show were also shocked.
Jiang Kui glanced at the television, displeasure flashing across his eyes. “Is it done?”
“Don’t worry, we have his son in our hands. He doesn’t dare not to do as we say. I heard from the people over there that the gate has been lowered.”
“Mm.” Only then did Jiang Kui stand up in relief. His gaze swept across the runway that was gradually lit up and he sneered. “No matter how well it’s done, I’ll destroy it all for you today.”
After the word “Xiu Yi” appeared, fireworks began to explode.
Sparkling like flowers, thousands of fireworks covered the entire world and exploded in the sky as if they were free.
The black acids seized the opportunity and were about to criticize it for not being environmentally friendly when the camera changed. Oh, so it was a special effect.
F*ck, the haters wiped their tears. So what if you’re rich? You even used special effects to make fireworks.
The camera was looking down.
No cameras flew into the sky, and the lights in the entire venue gradually lit up.
When the lights gradually lit up, everyone could clearly see that this show venue was actually in the shape of the entire China. Even an island was not missed.
The camera jumped down and landed on the first show.
This was a towering palace. There were thousands of bright lights, and the palace was towering, revealing a solemnity. Ancient music sounded, and a woman in a skirt walked out.
Walking through the long corridor, the carved palace, and the long stone steps,
In the light dance, she walked into another show.
This show venue had green bricks and white tiles, and it was misty in Jiangnan.
Through high-tech special effects, flowers bloomed like brocade, fish played with lotus leaves, and models wore ancient clothes and held oil-paper umbrellas. The air seemed to be moist from the rain.
The audience was clearly sitting in front of the screen, but it was as if they could reach out and touch the lotus flower inside.
The light shone on the models. On the exquisite dress, the embroidered butterflies wanted to fly.
The models walked across the limestone bridge and the misty rain.
They walked into the next show. This was the kingdom of the sea.
The underwater world created by special effects was sparkling. The models were wearing the clothes of ancient fishermen who lived by the sea and walked on the runway like mermaids. The fish swam around them.
…….
From one runway to another, the scene changed as if time had passed. The models changed, and what did not change was the great beauty of the eyes.
Unknowingly, more than ten scenes had been changed.
A woman in a cheongsam swayed her waist. From the flames of war, she walked to a beautiful stage.
This runway was where Xiu Yi’s new product was released this summer.
Today’s show could be said to have used technology to the extreme.
The audience could see the flowers gradually open their petals, the water gurgling, and the birds flapping their wings.
Just as everyone was drunk on this beautiful stage scene, Xia Wanyuan and An Rao walked out side by side.
Xia Wanyuan’s design leaned towards a simple and bright style.
At this moment, she was wearing a light green short dress. The crisp color made her look full of vitality. An Rao, who was beside her, had the same style. She wore a different style of black short dress with different embroidery.
After they walked out, models gradually appeared.
The audience watched quietly and realized that these designs seemed a little similar.
[ Wow, were some elements borrowed from previous traditional clothes??? I saw the pattern on the dress in the first show being used on Xiu Yi’s new product. ]
[ As someone who specializes in studying the evolution of ancient clothes, do you know? The many clothes in front actually exist in history. As a person who studies history, I feel so touched. Xia Wanyuan has really put in the effort. ]
[ So awesome? She borrowed so many ancient elements. Why don’t I feel old-fashioned at all? Instead, I feel that the clothes are especially beautiful. Is this the big shot? Please accept my knee. ]
Just as the audience had seen, Xia Wanyuan had added many traditional elements to the new summer product, but she had very well neutralized the boundary between ancient and modern.
Not only would it not make one feel old-fashioned, but it would also make one feel beautiful and novel.
As for the traditional Country Han clothes that the Han fashion team was so proud of the day before, they were fully reflected in this show.
After the show ended, the entire Internet was discussing Xiu Yi’s fashion show.
The main thing was that it was too eye-catching.
Those constantly changing scenes were actually copies of the most beautiful classic places in the area. The palace, the broken bridge, the Qinhuai River, the West Lake willows, and the desert yellow sand.
This was not just a simple background. It was almost so beautiful that people who saw it had a strong urge to experience it themselves.
There were more than four hundred sets of clothes, and every set was actually different. Every set contained a huge meaning. Some followed history, some came from famous paintings, and some came from myths. Any set could be looked at and talked about for a long time.
With the traditional clothing exhibition so eye-catching, Xiu Yi’s summer products were not ignored.
In order to enter the international market, Xia Wanyuan had made some changes when designing the clothes this time, incorporating a portion of the foreign aesthetic elements.
Reality proved that her change was very successful. Just as the new summer product was released, it received an extremely good response. Orders from all over the world almost filled the entire Xiu Yi.
Not to mention that the new products that followed the traditional style and faced the domestic market had been released and the reservation list was already full.
After a night, she finally completed this matter. Xia Wanyuan stretched and took out her phone to call Jun Shiling.
He had been out since the show and there had been no news from him until now.
