Chapter 475

Not to mention foreign countries, later there were also people in China who did this. How big is the brand of that gymnastics prince?

Of course, the premise of doing this is that the founder's name has enough influence. Pierre Cardin is a famous designer, and the gymnastics prince was the Chinese athlete who won the most Olympic gold medals at that time.

And Mei Wenhua's fame is far behind, without market recognition. It's really not as loud as Zhao Debiao's shouting. Now he is already a representative figure of Chinese hard-core kung fu stars. Once *Martial Arts* comes out, he can even directly endorse men's clothing brands.

Mei Wenhua has a clear understanding of this, so he decided on the spot to build the "Zhao Debiao" men's clothing brand, probably following the style of later Jinba and Septwolves, belonging to hard-core men's clothing.

Once done well, it can not only supply the Oriental New Territories but also grab counters in other clothing stores.

And men's clothing is just a test of brand-name clothing. Mei Wenhua feels that women's clothing is still easier to have high premiums, so the subsequent women's clothing brand is the focus.

Wei Ming proposed the potential of sports brands because next year is the Olympic Games, which will also be the first Olympic Games participated in after the buzz, which will inevitably trigger a nationwide sports craze.

It's a pity that the Plum Blossom brand is now the immovable special team uniform for the national team, otherwise, this would be a very good advertising opportunity.

The three of them are in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. Not long after, Xu Shufen and Wei Jiefang return one after another, one buying vegetables, one picking up the child.

"Brother~ Brother~"

As soon as Lao Lao Lao Wei enters the door, Wei Ming hears a piece of "brother" sounds. Xizi and Lele rush in at the same time.

Recently, Uncle Ping'an went to Canada on a business trip, and Aunt Xiaoyan's unit is also busy. It just so happens that Lao Lao Lao Wei and his wife are idle, so they took on the work of picking up the children at night. Lao Lao Lao Wei rides a bicycle, one on the back seat, one on the front bar.

Biaozi and Little Mei hurriedly get up to say goodbye; the family also cooked for them.

At the dinner table, Xizi asks Wei Ming: "Brother, when are we going to Hong Kong to film?"

Ever since he knew about this, he has been thinking about it. He has already bragged to Little Mei in class, and he also has to bring things for Sister Wang Fei to her father.

"Didn't I say it? We have to wait until summer vacation."

Hearing that he still has to wait two months, Xizi is so uncomfortable. Wei Jiefang says: "We can't go to Hong Kong for the time being, but we can go to the Northeast next month!"

"What's fun in the Northeast? It's not like I haven't been there."

His grandfather is the commander in the Northeast, and he often goes there, so there's no novelty long ago.

Lao Lao Lao Wei laughs: "I haven't been there. Since you've been there, introduce me to two Siberian tigers then."

Xizi: "I don't know Siberian tigers, but I do know some silly roe deer."

The two of them say one sentence after another. After finishing the meal, Wei Ming and Lele enter the study. Wei Ming is letting Lele help him consult on the few songs he wrote for A-Min recently.

An hour after the meal, Lu Xiaoyan comes to pick up the children. The two little guys immediately throw themselves into their mother's arms.

Lu Xiaoyan comforts the two babies while chatting with Wei Ming about work for a while. *Honey, I Shrunk the Kids* has a good response.

"So are there any new works recently, something similar to that?"

Wei Ming did write it and also mailed it to Melinda, but it wasn't Sinicized because it didn't fit China's national conditions.

"Why doesn't it fit? Let me see."

"Even if I let you see it, you won't understand. Let me tell you about it." Then Wei Ming tells a story about a killer clown appearing in a small town, and children working together to fight the devil.

In Melinda's letters before, she suggested that the horror level of the *Goosebumps* series stories could be increased again. American children are quite resistant to fear, so Wei Ming wrote two stories in a row this time.

One called *Clown Horror* has been completed, and another called *Child's Play* is still in creation.

After hearing Wei Ming's simple introduction, Lu Xiaoyan hurriedly waves her hand, and goosebumps appear on her arms: "Then we don't want this story. Also, you and Big Brother send us off. I won't come home so late next time."

Besides Wei Ming's story, it is also because the current security environment is too chaotic, especially at night, with various criminal activities emerging one after another.

Although Lu Xiaoyan grew up in the military and knows some martial arts, a woman with two babies is really blind if she encounters something.

Now the Ministry of Public Security's wanted posters for the Northeast "Two Kings" have been posted everywhere in the country. They are becoming more and more rampant, and it is necessary to mobilize the vast ocean of the masses.

And this unprecedented wanted poster since the founding of the People's Republic also means the severity of the social atmosphere. Maybe the higher-ups are also afraid that managing it too strictly will affect economic development, so they are still hesitating.

Uncle Ping'an has to wait until early May to return from abroad, and a letter from France arrived in Yanjing at the end of April.

The reply from Cannes was sent directly to the Children's Er Yingchang. Liang Xiaosheng personally calls Wei Ming and invites him to the Children's Er Yingchang.

"Is it the reply from Cannes?"

"Hmm!"

"What do they say?"

"I don't know. The factory director didn't let me see the letter."

Wei Ming immediately sets off for the Children's Er Yingchang. Besides Factory Director Yu Lan and Liang Xiaosheng, Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaoning, these two employees of the Children's Er Yingchang, are also there.

They are all waiting for Wei Ming to come before they can see the letter, but in fact, Factory Director Yu Lan has already seen the letter, which is why she mobilized everyone to be called over.

Analyzing from a logical perspective, if it were a rejection letter, it would be impossible to have such a scene, so Wei Ming guesses: "It's shortlisted, right."

Yu Lan smiles and opens the envelope, taking out the invitation letter: "Congratulations, Little Wei, your first work was favored by the Cannes Film Festival. The film festival opens on the 7th of next month and closes on the 19th. Do you have time?"

"Of course, I can make a trip," after finishing, Wei Ming asks again, "How many people can go this time?"

Hearing this, Chen Kaige looks at Factory Director Yu Lan expectantly. France, eh, Cannes, eh! Going there is being a person above people!

Yu Lan says: "You definitely have to go. In addition, the Film Bureau also has to send a comrade to accompany you, and there is one more quota."

She glances at Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaoning and says: "Let's ask Li Baotian if he has time first."

This is the truth. If the first male lead has time, it wouldn't be the deputy director's turn anyway.

Actually, Wei Ming really wants to bring Xizi, but unfortunately, he has to film *Journey to the West* next month and has no schedule, so he can only regretfully give up.

The fact that *Spring of the Sheep-Herding Class* was shortlisted for Cannes was not publicized in the country. After all, domestic films have been shortlisted for the three major European film festivals many times before, and animated films have even made gains, but no feature film has won an award, not even a consolation prize, so everyone agreed that it should be low-key.

Actually, *Under the Bridge* was also submitted to Cannes, but it wasn't shortlisted, so the Shanghai Er Yingchang plans to submit it to Venice according to the original plan. Wei Ming and Sister Xue are destined not to meet in Cannes.

When leaving the Beijing Er Yingchang, Wei Ming met Liu Xiaoqing. The two films of *The Burning of the Imperial Palace* have already finished filming, and Liu Xiaoqing's autobiography has also been published. She is now waiting for *The Burning of the Imperial Palace* to shine at home and abroad to suppress South Gong Xue and North Zhu Lin.

She is holding a newspaper. Seeing Wei Ming, she immediately waves to stop him: "Teacher Wei, have you seen the newspaper? Comrade Gong Xue participated in the ribbon-cutting of a foreign-funded factory in Shenzhen!"

"Is that so?" Wei Ming really didn't know. He takes it and looks—oh, it turns out to be the Langning Factory.
