The Big Man

"Mr. Levi, I have to say that you chose to let us make the uniforms of the X-Men instead of letting the prop company produce the clothes according to the clothes in the comics. It is really a wise choice...

Believe me, even if superheroes are all in New York, they don't know the real New York. The cartoonists don't know what fashion is, and even if they did, it's unbelievable that the fashion styles of the 1960s are still used today..."

Standing at Levi in front of him, a tall model was wearing a uniform, using a variety of styles, and he didn't know whether she was highlighting the clothes or her own lines. When Levi glanced at her face, she still didn't forget to show a smile to Levi. The fashion designer is also in Levi's ear, constantly talking about his design philosophy.

What Levi said was correct. Compared with other preparations, the scene here is the most comfortable.

"Very beautiful, quite perfect." Levi praised; no one knew whether he was talking about the model's figure or the clothing design, but both the model and the designer smiled.

In the black clothes, some main lines are outlined in yellow, the overall style of the clothes is sci-fi, and it looks full of texture. This kind of team uniform is indeed much better than the clothes in the X-Men comics. As the designer said, the style of the 1960s is not very good when used in the current movie.

"Personally, I think they are perfect, and now I can't wait for more people to see it," but, for this, Levi did not immediately draw conclusions, "Next month, it will be San Diego Comic-Con. At that time, I want to pull our main leads and some main props over there to promote it. These costumes will also be an important part of our promotion at that time."

As a commercial film adapted from comics, naturally, there is no lack of publicity. Compared with other movies that rely on promotional videos, posters, and TV shows, for comic-adapted movies, if it can satisfy fans at Comic-Con, it will be a successful start for the film.

In fact, the promotion of X-Men has already begun. Levi had someone set up a special website and began to report on the progress of some film preparations online. However, fans have a lot of criticisms about the preparations for the film. Many people think that Levi's preparations are not satisfactory.

Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is too tall and has too much style, and Jack's Cyclops has become a supporting role. Magneto is not strong enough, and Storm should be a purebred black, not a half-breed like Halle Berry.

These things make the fans very dissatisfied. Still, Levi believes the film's crew will be overwhelmed when they show up at Comic-Con.

Everyone must admit that Hugh Jackman, with his strong muscles and bushy sideburns, is a complete copy of Logan. And Mystique's blue skin and dress are enough to make fans exclaim. Now with this set of sci-fi costumes again, Levi also believes that comic fans will be satisfied.

"As long as you are satisfied... If you need it, I can connect you with some models to follow you to Comic Con."

The designer was very happy to see Levi nod and pass the costume. When he saw that Levi's eyes were still lingering on the model, he immediately made a supplement. Of course, what he cares about is not the comic exhibition - no one in fashion care about Comic Con.

What he cares about is that Levi's satisfaction means a lot of opportunities for him.

Levi is a complete success; people do not doubt this point. Everyone knows that Levi established his own company in just a few years. He started to struggle almost from scratch. But in just a few years, he made excellent TV shows, and in movies, whatever he does, he succeeds very quickly.

His success is incredible: he is a very smart guy; he knows what to fish and what not to fish. He is not stupid enough to want to be in the media industry, touch the cakes of those giants, and not contact brokerage companies, trying to touch the interests behind Hollywood.

His mind has always been on how to shoot movies and establish a large-scale production company. This kind of approach made his film company develop to the present. He has successfully defeated competitors and has considerable connections with several large TV networks and distribution companies, and he has also become a big man.

Indeed only a few people are aware of the influence of these. Few people outside the fashion industry understand that after the weekly TV series and TV shows, the clothes worn by those on TV will affect the fashion trend.

What kind of impact will it cause, and what benefits will it have if you can make your clothes appear frequently in hit dramas?

Among other things, let's take the recently released The Notebook as an example. As soon as the movie adapted from that novel was released, it caused a lot of excitement. The film's costumes, character shapes, and lines are popular and greatly influence fashion trends.

And everyone knows that it is a movie made by Levi's company, and the company that provided the costumes for this movie has also benefited greatly.

And such things are all due to the decision of the person in front of him. Some things that are not important to him can be pursued by others: a big figure in the film and television industry can affect the surrounding industries. There is no harm in pleasing such people.

"If there is nothing else, then I will take my leave." The designer stood up, and when he turned around, he heard the model behind him talking in Levi's ear.

"I'll wait for you outside."

The designer heard these words clearly but didn't say anything. Even he wants to please the person before him, let alone a model? For them, Levi is a great big shot.

When the golden sun at noon shined into the room through the gaps in the curtains, Gisele Bündchen turned lazily on the bed. As she had imagined, there was no one within reach. It should be the man lying beside her who had already woken up while she was still asleep.

The activities last night obviously caused more fatigue to her than to him. Otherwise, why is she still sleeping here, but he is already in the living room, receiving visiting guests? Really energetic guy.

Bündchen sat up. Instead of closing the door and continuing to sleep, she put on her nightgown and walked out of the bedroom. Standing in the corridor on the second floor, the voices in the living room downstairs also began to become clear.

"Disney's computing team has already been sent, but we owe Disney a favor in this way. You still have to figure out how to repay this favor. They have always hoped that we will produce programs for them. You have to take some time to think about it..."

The voice downstairs sounded like it was saying something rather boring: the word science, in the ears of the model, was synonymous with boring. It's just that Bündchen didn't lose interest because these words were boring. On the contrary, she listened very seriously.

"You don't have to worry about this problem. I know what to do. In fact, I've already figured out a solution. I'm just thinking about the details recently..."

"It would be great if this is the case. In addition, the script of the movie has basically been finalized. Director Nolan made some concessions, but Bob said that he left suspense in the script, and this one was a success. His rights will definitely be expanded in the next film.

But anyway, the last trouble has been resolved. If it goes well, we will go to the Canadian studio to start filming in a week at most. Are you planning to go with us? Or are you going to stay in Los Angeles and fly there twice a week?"

The voice of the person speaking downstairs was very familiar, and Bündchen seemed to have a vague impression that he was Levi's good friend and one of the partners of Enigma Company.

"I will not be on the scene much. I'm also a director, but I am a producer for this movie. Going to the scene to direct will inevitably affect the director's authority."

Levi's voice came downstairs, "I just checked yesterday, and the preliminary preparations have been done very well. I can trust Director Nolan for the on-site command. Moreover, Bob is watching over there, and he can tell you as soon as possible if there is anything. Me, I'm not worried."

"Then what are you planning to do recently? The show's new episode is set in Miami. New York State's tax rebate is still unsuitable, and Miami is just right. Are you going to stare at the production of the new drama?"

"No, Michael has always been in charge of the TV company's affairs and has done a good job. I don't need to manage it, right?"

"Then you can take care of the box office statistics of our movies? We have two movies at the same time. Movies with a box office of over 100 million, publicity, awards, box office statistics... you take care of it?"

"I can't take your job, can I? Aren't these all your jobs?"

"Nick, now you are really becoming more and more like a boss, we all work, but you rest yourself... Then what are you going to do in the next period of time?"

The voice stopped, and Bündchen was a little surprised to find that the two had stopped talking and Levi's eyes had already turned to the second floor, which happened to fall on her.

Bündchen smiled at him freely: she didn't want to avoid others.

"I kind of understand what you want to do..." Alexander also raised his head, "The lady is..."

"The lady is Gisele Bündchen — a very smart girl," Levi replied. At the same time, he smiled upstairs, "Of course, she is also very beautiful. You can see it without me telling you."

Bündchen smiled proudly at Alexander and, at the same time, gave Levi a sweet smile in response. Unexpectedly, his evaluation of herself is smart first and then beautiful- in such a short time of acquaintance, she has seen through himself; no wonder he became a big shot.
