Chapter 262 (1/2)

Simon is chatting with his female assistant, and Sophia, who is also a little free, comes to them from a distance, only with a slight frown.

Noting the worry in Sophia's expression, Simon asked, ”what's wrong?”

Sophia stood next to Simon, looked at the crowd on the other side of the runway, nodded and said, ”Colombe pringer, the editor in chief of vogue, and I have an appointment to attend this party. In the evening, I suddenly said that I can't make it. Paris match has just called, and the 8-page ”Gucci night” feature page that was originally negotiated has also been cancelled

There was music in the hall.

The runway show starts.

This is a show with the theme of Audrey Hepburn's Roman holiday. Gregory Peck, the hero of Roman holiday, who will be awarded the Cannes Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award, was specially invited to attend.

Simon looked at the colorful clothes and decorations in the venue and asked, ”is there anything else?”

”In recent years, several top models in the industry, Claudia Schiffer, Linda evangelinsta, Naomi Campbell and Christie Trenton, have turned down our party invitation. What's more, this party is not the most important. I'm worried that we may not be able to invite these models to participate in the fashion week in September. ”

Simon was not surprised to hear Sofia talk about these situations.

The scale of the luxury industry is also limited. Gucci has vigorously rallied in recent months, and other luxury brands will naturally feel threatened.

Gucci's recovery in North America has not encountered any obstacles because of the support of danielis entertainment. However, in France, where luxury brands are clustered, it is obvious that local leaders such as Dior, Chanel, Hermes and Louis Vuitton will not allow Gucci, an outsider, to make a name for himself in his own territory.

Waving to the passing waiters, Simon served two glasses of red wine to the two women beside him, and then continued to say to Sophia, ”so, what are you going to do?”

Sophia took a sip of the wine, thought about it and said, ”if it's just the French side, it's not a big problem.”

”You take care of the media. As for the fashion week in September, I've just seen Cindy Crawford and Helena Christensen. If those supermodels you mentioned don't want to join our show, you can find someone else. It's impossible that all models don't want to. What's more, it's just to increase the exposure. At that time, we can invite more stars. The effect is the same. This is just our advantage. ”

As they chatted, the catwalk over there ended, followed by a charity auction.

The auction items are a batch of the latest Gucci satchels carried by the models on the catwalk, and the money will be donated to a charity dedicated to solving the famine problem in Africa. Simon didn't know the name of the organization. He felt that the direction was right, so he spent 200000 dollars to shoot a delicate white satchel.

The charity auction is over and tonight's party is coming to an end.

Although some French media temporarily cancelled the cooperation with Gucci, a large number of European media reported the grand Gucci night activity early the next morning.

Simon knows the mission of his mascot.

If you just show your face at the party and don't bring any benefits to the guests who come to him, others won't show up next time. Therefore, some entertainment media also timely appeared that Simon westero and some stars had a good talk at the Gucci night party, and the two sides may cooperate.

It's not just a gimmick to make such a noise.

Simon had a similar idea when he was shooting Batman in Melbourne.

Hollywood will expand all over the world in the next few years, which will inevitably cause resistance from overseas film markets.

If daenerys entertainment can invest in making a batch of overseas films every year, it can not only enrich its own film library resources, but also win the favor of European, Australian and even Asian filmmakers. Moreover, mastering a large number of film projects will not only affect the career prospects of many filmmakers, but also bring a kind of hidden power to danielis entertainment.

In addition, compared with those film investors who often lose all their money, Simon's advantages of being a prophet of two generations can also ensure that he can select projects that can bring profits relatively accurately.

Danielis entertainment is still in the accumulation stage, and Simon is not eager for this plan.

However, the Australian branch's investment in Peter Jackson's new film and the signing of a few more directors this time will be equivalent to planning ahead of time for this project.

After completing his mascot mission, Simon left Cannes and flew to Geneva, the border of France and Switzerland.

Geneva is the second largest city in Switzerland, where CERN, a joint venture of more than 20 countries, is located.

Tim Berners Lee was a computer engineer at the Institute.

Coincidentally, Simon had the idea of looking for Tim Berners Lee, just stepped on a very precise point in time.According to Simon's information, Tim Berners Lee submitted a project plan to CERN senior management for the first time in March this year, proposing to connect the computers of all laboratories in the institute through Hypertext Technology. Once the project is completed, it can even be further extended to the whole world.

Tim Berners Lee's proposal received a lot of support. However, because CERN is a physics research organization, the senior management of CERN did not approve the project. However, Li didn't give up. After two months' preparation for the proposal, he was preparing to submit his proposal again recently, and Simon took the initiative to find the door.

Simon first found each other through a paper on hypertext markup language published by Tim Berners Lee.

When she came to Europe, after making an appointment with Tim Berners Lee, her revised plan was transferred directly to Simon.

Sad to say, Tim Berners Lee, known as the father of the Internet in the industry, has been fighting for months. Most of the budget is just for a next computer worth 6500 dollars.

Yes, it's the high-performance personal computer that jobs developed for universities and research institutions after he left apple.

The city of Geneva is surrounded by the vast south end of Geneva.

As the most livable city in Europe, Simon will not miss Geneva in the process of purchasing real estate. He lives on more than three acres on the scenic Lake Geneva in the northern suburbs of the city and owns a private pier.

Arriving in Geneva on the morning of the weekend, Simon spent the next three days talking with Tim Berners Lichang about various ideas about the Internet.
