After Gisele said this, he beckoned his make-up artist again without any intention to continue bargaining with Tom · Cory.
Looking at the girl in front of her eyes, she was determined, Tom · Cory burst into flames. Glancing around the eyes, although the other modelss who were putting on makeup looked as usual on the surface and didn't seem to notice his embarrassment at all, Tom Corey could clearly feel the air of gloating in the whole tent.
Tom Corey suddenly missed some ten years ago, even five years ago.
At that time, the executives of these well-known brands were definitely the top of the entire food chain of the fashion circle. Even the top model did not dare to behave so in front of them. Those professional model who are not famous enough are even more It's just the prey they can expect.
In just a few years, everything has changed.
The appearance of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show makes the concept of supermodel deeply ingrained in the minds of the public.
At the same time that the income of top supermodels has risen significantly, this group's status and social influence in the fashion circle have also risen, and their dependence on traditional reputation channels such as magazine cover and brand Catwalk is no longer so strong. Even now, the situation has been reversed. Fashion magazine needs supermodel login cover to increase sales, and the brand Catwalk cannot do without supermodel to gather popularity.
Although there are many media and big coffee in the fashion circle who often criticize Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for its low style, no one can deny that because of Eric's strict check on the selection criteria of Victoria’s Secret angels, every angel in the Victoria’s Secret army, for the 'supermodel' The titles are worthy of the name, coupled with the extensive social popularity, even if the luxury brand is even higher in style, it is impossible to ignore the existence of the Victoria’s Secret angel.
Even if a high street brand Catwalk does not even have a supermodel, it will be questioned by the decline in popularity.
As for what can be considered as supermodel, five years ago, it was also possible to obtain titles by repeatedly promoting hype through fashion media. But now, if a professional model can't get on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion ShowT stage, then it can't be regarded as supermodel, and compulsive self-proclaiming will only make people laugh. In recent years, not only ordinary people, but also the fashion media have gradually recognized this criterion.
The scene was deadlocked for a moment, Gisele was resolutely not relaxed, Tom Corey had to compromise, hurriedly left the show tent, came to a cafe opposite Bryant Park.
One man and two women who had been waiting in the cafe saw Tom · Curry appear and stood up together.
A man in his fifties, with disheveled curly hair and sunglasses, his name is Paul Roland, who is the founder of the female management company and Chairman.
One of the two women is obviously just an assistant, while the other girl is tall and slender, with a petite face, thin lips, and a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Because it ’s in a heated room, the girl did n’t wear a coat, and the tight black cardigan and white high-waisted trousers showed her perfect figure proportions, even if she was used to beauty, Tom · Cory I couldn't help but glance for a few more times, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for this professional model named Carmen Case.
Being stared at by Gisele · Bündchen, this girl should never want to be in the fashion circle because there is a Eric Williams backing behind her. The Brazilian girl and her circle are simply a group of greedy little wolf. Other than that, the Victoria’s Secret army just last year The three ambassadors that were free, the entire professional model circle broke the head for this, but now two of them have fallen to Gisele and her other girlfriend Trish Goff, although the last one is yet to be determined, but the result is also difficult Expected.
Noting Tom · Curry ’s expression when scanning Carmen Case, Paul · Roland felt a little bad. He took off his sunglasses and shook hands with Tom · Cory, and invited the other to sit down. Can't wait to ask: "Tom, what's the result?"
Tom Corey shook his head towards the waiter who walked over, obviously not meant to stay and drink coffee, and then said: "Sorry, Paul, I tried my best."
The expression of extreme disappointment on Paul Roland's face suddenly, not just for the brand Catwalk just lost, Carmen Case has lost most of Catwalk this fashion week. He just wanted to push Carmen Case to the CK closing show to see if he could find an opportunity to reach a settlement with Gisele · Bündchen.
But now, the other party obviously has no intention of reconciliation.
Tom Corey saw Paul Roland for a moment, and then glanced at the opposite side of Carmen Case, and then got up and said: "Then, Paul, Catwalk is about to start, I still have something Busy, go back first. "
Paul Roland quickly got up again and sent Tom Corey out of the cafe. They did n’t go back. They looked at their Carmen Case with a pitiful expression behind their eyes. Paul Roland sighed. .
The original roof beam of WM Company was Kate · Moss, but in recent years, the morbid beauty of Kate · Moss, professional model, suddenly lost its favor in the fashion circle. WM could only be regarded as the second-line professional model Brokerage Firm, Kate · Moss, popularity fell , The company's influence began to plummet.
In order to reverse the situation, Paul Roland dug this girl from Estonia last year, and also spent all her resources to help her get a VH1 annual professional model competition 'professional model of the Year' title, trying to make it a new WM company Of the top beam.
Just because of some small mistakes in promotion strategy, well, it is definitely a big mistake. The company compared her with the most popular Gisele · Bündchen in the past two years in a fashion magazine draft. To rub the opponent's popularity, of course, if you can step on Gisele · Bündchen is even better.
After all, Carmen Case has a body that does not belong to Gisele · Bündchen at all, but his face is much prettier than the other party.
It's just that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is that Paul · Roland found himself still far underestimating the energy of Gisele · Bündchen, or that he underestimated the degree of Eric Williams's favor with the Brazilian girl.
Paul · Roland naturally understands the relationship between Gisele · Bündchen and Eric Williams.
Now.
Can only give up Carmen Case.
Paul · Roland doesn't think he has any qualifications to compete with Eric Williams.
After a moment of silence, Paul Roland said to Carmen Case: "Well, Carmen, you have to rest for a while, Europe will not need to go."
Carmen Keith, with some expectations, shook her body and almost fell to the ground. She could n’t help but stepped forward and begged: “Paul, the Burberry opening, they have n’t said yet. Would you like to replace me? "
"I will help you to push it away, I will wait until this season's fashion week passes," Paul Roland took sunglasses out of his suit pocket and put it on, no longer looking at the expression of Carmen Case, to the person behind her. The female assistant said: "Camilla, please send Carmen back first."
"Okay, Mr. Roland," the assistant named Camilla nodded, watching Paul Roland get in her car and leave, and then she pulled a bit of a lost Carmen Case: "Carmen, we Go back first. "
Carmen Casey was pulled by an assistant into a Chrysler on the side of the road. When the door was closed, the girl could n’t help it anymore and shrank from the seat, covering her face and crying out loud: "How can she bully People, how can she bully people like this, how can she bully people like this, @ ¥ %%%% ¥ ## * & amp; amp;%. "
Camilla listened to the crying in the back row, and the Estonian language that the girl later mixed with, which she could not understand, but just silently activated car.
She has been in this business for quite a while, and it is common for professional model to have such mutual dumping. Even within the small WM company, it is full of various competitions, not to mention the entire industry. If a famous professional model does not want to try to suppress newcomers who may threaten their status, it is abnormal.
But think about it, that Gisele · Bündchen is really lucky, actually can climb Eric Williams.
Know that Carmen Case is a girl who can only be regarded as a ‘newcomer’ in front of her. In fact, he is two years older than the other party. Gisele · Bündchen has been famous for three years.
In this way, there is a gap of five years between the two. In the fashion world, five years, it is almost a whole generation of professional model replacement.
As the car moved forward, the girl in the back changed from crying to sobbing, and from sobbing to silence.
When Camilla stopped her car outside an apartment in Greenwich Village, Carmen Case seemed to have recovered completely, and she did n’t have the gloomy expression in her expression.
The car has just stabilized, and Carmen Case said, "Camilla, can you do me a favor?"
Camilla felt that the girl behind was a little bit wrong, and persuaded: "Carmen, I think you better go back and get a good night's sleep."
Carmen Case did n’t seem to hear this advice, and continued: "Help me find a gossip reporter, you should be able to find ..."
Camilla realized something faintly and quickly said: "Carmen, you better not do this, Mr. Roland."
"You need to know," Carmen Casey suddenly added a bit of sharpness that seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and his slender body leaned forward slightly: "I am paying your salary!"
The girl ’s sudden outbreak startled Camilla and hesitated before she nodded and said, "Okay, but you better know what you are doing."
"Hah, what else can I do," the girl's mouth always had a random smile suddenly appeared, seeming to be smiling, but a big teardrop rolled in the corner of her eyes: "What else can I do in the future?" ?! "
She was the most beautiful and proud girl among the girls she grew up with. She was unwilling to spend her life in an unknown town for a mediocre life. She left Estonia alone at the age of 14 and spent six full years. At the age of three, she finally saw a glimmer of success, and then the little ambition and expectation were suddenly trampled by others.
Paul Roland's words and attitude just now have become obvious, but now she has been abandoned by WM.
What else can she do?
Or, what else can I lose?
The brightly lit Manhattan always makes too many people forget to return. The weather in winter quickly dims. In a bar in Greenwich Village, the girl sitting in the deck near the floor-to-ceiling window looks at the street outside the window with some expression. On the side of the neon, she seemed to hear the sound of the show music from Bryant Park far away.
This can only be an illusion.
Perhaps, I will leave this place soon.
Camilla walked in with a white man with a thin face around the age of 30, but just made a gesture to her, but did not join him with the man.
When I saw the girl with brown sunglasses covering most of her face, the man smiled politely and held out her hand: "Miss Kathy, hello."
Carmen Case was a little surprised, and looked at Camilla who was leaving with dissatisfaction. She also specifically told the other party not to disclose her identity.
However, it was only a short-term gaffe, Carmen Case showed a cold expression again, did not shake hands with the man, and said, "I need you to help me shoot someone with me."
"Of course, this is my job, Miss Kathy," the man didn't care about Carmen Kathy's coldness, but in the tone of the voice, with a little bit of joking, intentionally shouted the other party's name.
Camilla certainly did not tell him the identity of the girl in front of her, but, as an excellent paparazzi, Ear Listening Sixth Road is only a basic quality. The new Victoria’s Secret angel Gisele · Bündchen suppresses WM to push newcomers. In the circle, it is not even news at all.
The man has even been able to guess the purpose of Carmen Case.
Carmen Case also felt the paparazzi in front of her despise her. She bit her lip lightly, but just hesitated for a moment, then took out her shoulder bag and pulled out a thick large envelope from inside. Pushed in front of the man: "Here is fifty thousand USD, you help me to follow Gisele · Bündchen, if you can get the material that satisfied me, I can give you, five, no, one hundred thousand USD."
Seeing the thick envelope in front of him, the man finally put away a look of contempt, and even took a small breath.
He has not seen 50,000 USD. As a professional paparazzi, he sometimes shoots some star scandals and sells them at a high price.
What made him sigh is that these 50,000 USD, or the future 100,000 USD, is estimated to be the entire savings of the girl in front of him. As a newcomer professional model who has just made his head in the circle for less than half a year, he does not even have an endorsement. Even with some fame, it is absolutely impossible to make much money.
It's such a cruel little girl.
Sighing in his heart, the man reached into his pocket without hesitation, silently pressed the recorder, and then said, "Miss Kathy, don't you know who is standing behind Gisele · Bündchen?" "
