chapter 68
Probably because of what Huo Xichen said at the farm, when problems arose at the spring show, Jiang Weicheng immediately thought of He Wen.
What happened at this show was different from the previous betrayal by the artist. Although it was troublesome when the artist suddenly rebelled, it was only a small part of the problem for the entire show, and it could be rectified as long as we found a way.
But this time, what went wrong was the most important part.
Jiang Weicheng had just arrived at the studio when she received the news. She came back to get something. Tomorrow is the show day. Today she will have a formal rehearsal. She will also finalize the lighting, music and personnel list. What needs to be done
There are too many things.
She moved quickly, and when she entered the office to pick up the necessary items and was about to leave, Su Tao called.
"Weicheng, don't worry, calm down and listen to me. There is something wrong here at the show, and we are trying to figure it out."
Jiang Weicheng knew Su Tao, and judging from her tone, it was probably not a small problem.
She closed the door, handed the things in her hand to Guan Yuqing, signaled to go to the parking lot, and said to the other end of the phone: "It's okay, just tell me."
"Well, most of the costumes I'm going to use tomorrow are stained, so I won't be able to go on stage tomorrow."
Jiang Weicheng's brows immediately knitted together. The matter was more serious than she expected. She told Su Tao to get there as soon as possible and stepped into the elevator quickly.
After several meetings and discussions, the location of this show was finally chosen at a star-rated hotel on the bank of Nanhu Lake.
There is a very special water stage here. Jiang Weicheng led people to conduct an on-site inspection before, and after confirming that there was no problem in building the catwalk, auditorium, and assembling the lights, he decided on this place.
Because it was originally a water stage, there were two very spacious dressing rooms backstage. Su Tao and the others have been staying there these past few days, doing various spot-keeping and rehearsals.
Performance costumes are more important, but due to various matching arrangements such as performance effects and order, they must be shipped in advance.
The clothes arrived yesterday, and the models had already gone through the catwalk sequence with the clothes. After that, they had to temporarily adjust the sizes, determine accessories, hairstyles and other issues.
Jiang Weicheng was there last night. Before leaving, she personally checked and checked the clothes and locked the dressing room door after making sure there were no problems.
But when Su Tao came over today, she found that the ceiling on one side of the locker room was leaking, and the water stains were black and yellow, making all the two rows of clothes neatly arranged there wet and dirty.
Su Tao reacted quickly and immediately called someone in for rescue after finding out. They managed to grab a small part of the clothes that were not stained, but most of the other clothes could no longer be used.
There are many styles of clothes on display this time, and most of the clothes displayed in the show are special models. The embroidery and beadwork of the women's clothes are all handmade, and it took a lot of time to make them.
Now there is only one day left, so there is no time to do it again.
Cleaning is even more impossible. Not to mention that many clothes have been soaked in dirty water all night, making cleaning difficult. Even dry cleaning will destroy the texture of the clothing and embroidery beads. This small difference may not be noticeable to laymen, but
As soon as the light is turned on, an expert will know it at a glance.
When Jiang Weicheng arrived, Su Tao had already negotiated with the hotel people, because this situation had never happened before, and the hotel people were confused.
It rained for a while last night, but why did the locker room suddenly leak when it was fine? Not to mention that the black, yellow and smelly water leaked out, which was completely inexplicable!
"Now is not the time to pursue responsibilities. We will discuss the issue with the hotel later. The focus now is on clothes. Find a few people, count the odds, and determine how many sets of clothes cannot be used, and how many sets of these clothes are
Those that need to be made by hand. Those that don’t need to be made by hand will be remade immediately according to the original size, style and color, and we will figure out a way for the purely handmade part!"
When Jiang Weicheng arrived, Su Tao and several others immediately felt that they had a backbone.
To be honest, when she opened the dressing room door this morning, she was completely confused. She has been working in Chengdu for so long, and she is no longer the novice who only had love in her eyes. She knows very well what this means!
How important is tomorrow's spring show? This is the result of the hard work of so many people and so many talents!
When she told Jiang Weicheng, she was actually afraid that she would be confused, but luckily, Jiang Weicheng will always be Jiang Weicheng.
Su Tao went to work with a few people. Jiang Weicheng walked out of the dressing room, came to the water catwalk set up outside, and found a seat to sit down.
Guan Yuqing followed her, holding in her hand the breakfast she hadn't eaten: coffee and sandwiches. Originally, she was going to pick up something from the studio and eat it on the way here.
When this happened suddenly, how could she still think about eating?
"Mr. Jiang, you'd better eat your breakfast first." She walked to her side.
"Let it go for now."
Guan Yuqing put the paper bag beside her, "Mr. Jiang, I'll go in and help them first. If you need anything, send me a message."
"Um."
Guan Yuqing stood up, but did not leave immediately.
She has been with Qiuse for two years and opened her studio for one year. She has followed Jiang Weicheng for almost three years. To be honest, she admires her very much. Her ability at work and her self-discipline are all reasons why Guan Yuqing admires her.
Since the opening of the studio, we have encountered so many difficulties, but every time she led them to solve the difficulties again and again.
She let her know that women are no worse than men. No matter how young a woman is, she can realize her dreams and career with her own efforts. But she also knows how much pressure she is under because she is omnipotent.
Jiang Weicheng, so every time something happens, everyone always puts their hope in her.
"Mr. Jiang." Guan Yuqing called her, and smiled at Jiang Weicheng when she turned around, "It's okay, I just want to say that if the matter is too difficult to solve, we can discuss it with everyone. Although our abilities are limited, we can
Everyone in this industry has more or less their own connections. This difficulty belongs to everyone, and we will all work hard."
Jiang Weicheng looked at her for a while and smiled slowly: "Thank you, Yuqing."
****
Things were indeed very difficult. It was precisely because Jiang Weicheng had a clearer understanding of the degree of difficulty than others that his mood suddenly hit rock bottom.
After Guan Yuqing went to the dressing room to help, she took out her mobile phone and dialed a familiar number.
"Hey, who's looking for me?" The young man's pleasant and clear voice came from the other end of the phone. Seeing that she didn't speak, he asked again, "What's wrong? We've only been apart for two hours and you already miss me?"
"Xiaochen..." She sighed, holding the phone and smiling helplessly, "I encountered a very troublesome thing. I don't know whether it was a simple accident or man-made."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Huo Xichen's voice suddenly became serious, "Where are you now?"
"I'm at the show."
"Is there something wrong with tomorrow's catwalk?"
"Well, that's a big question."
"I'll come over right now."
"But you have a very important course at school today, don't you?"
"You don't have to worry about me, just ask for leave. You wait for me there. I'll call a car now. You can send me a voice message of the problem and I can listen to it on the way. Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"
She hummed, hung up the phone, and then sent him a voice message.
After the voice message was sent, her heavy heart seemed to feel better. Learning to talk, especially to the one you love, is indeed a very good thing.
In the past, Jiang Weicheng was used to being independent. He would feel that even if he knew, he would not be able to solve the problem. Instead, he would have one more person to worry about, so he might be able to deal with it on his own.
But she promised him that she would tell him when she encountered something troubling, no matter whether he was able to help her or not.
It wasn't until this moment that she understood that the meaning of talking was not whether the problem could be solved immediately, but that when difficulties came, she knew that she was not fighting alone.
She has partners who start a business with her, and she has people who love her.
This person would put down everything he had and rush to her side as quickly as possible.
Because to him, she is the most important, and he will be her eternal support.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, not long after Huo Xichen arrived at the show, the statistical results came out.
It was worse than expected. There were fifteen pieces of clothing that needed to be remade by hand. These fifteen pieces of clothing all had embroidery and beading parts. It took five master craftsmen with professional skills half a month to complete.
But now, they only have one day left.
"I sent the other clothes back to the studio for the designers to work together. Now the problem is to solve these fifteen pieces. We don't have enough time, but we can find as many people as possible and rush to make them all night long!" Su Tao was there during the statistics.
Thinking about this, I was the first to speak.
"But it was not easy to find those five masters before. Nowadays, most of the domestic production lines are assembly lines, and there are fewer and fewer masters with manual skills. What's more, these designs require very high skills. You want to make it within one day
To complete the workload of the previous fourteen days, have you calculated how many people are needed?"
Zhang Wei naturally thought of this method, but it was impossible to realize it due to the number of people.
"Seventy - no, sixty people! Fifteen pieces of clothing, four people are responsible for one piece, plus an overnight stay, maybe it can be completed!" Jiang Weicheng did it herself, so only she knew best in terms of time.
"Sixty people?" Zhang Wei sighed, "I'm afraid I can't even find twenty people now."
Huo Xichen glanced at Jiang Weicheng, who was frowning in thought, and said: "Actually, there are only two options now. Either cut down on handmade clothes and replace them with other ordinary styles, which can save time; or try again and try to find someone,
In fact, S city is very big, and there must be people there, but generally all the orders of masters with such special skills are arranged in advance, and they are unlikely to be willing to take such temporary urgent orders."
"Otherwise, we should find someone to help. Our network of contacts may not necessarily overlap with those of other colleagues." Su Tao looked at Jiang Weicheng and suggested, "In fact, you can contact An Kai. He is still in Qiu Se."
"I also have a few designer friends, I can ask them." Zhang Wei nodded.
Guan Yuqing also said, "Well, I go to garment factories a lot and I'm familiar with them. I can ask them if they have anyone else they can recommend."
Jiang Weicheng nodded: "Then prepare with both hands. Zhang Wei, before you call, you and Su Tao must finalize ten replacement items, and then send them to colleagues in the studio to rush production. Su Tao, I have An Kai's phone number.
Do it yourself. After you finalize the replacement payment, instruct your colleagues in the studio to move some work tables over and temporarily convert the dressing room next to it into a dressing room.
In addition, I will pick out five representative pieces from the fifteen pieces of clothing. After Yuqing calls the clothing factory, she will go to the five previous masters, triple the money to them, and find someone to drive them over and ask them to
Make it as quickly as possible.
After that, it’s time to find someone. If you can find one, pick them up immediately. These clothes can only be completed through cooperation and cannot be separated. As long as the number of people reaches 20, you can start adding handmade clothes.
I don’t expect that we can complete all fifteen handmade pieces perfectly before the show starts tomorrow, but even one more piece is still a victory!”
