I’m in Hollywood

After Gisele finished saying this, she waved to her makeup artist again, without any intention of continuing to bargain with Tom Corey.

Seeing the girl in front of him with a determined look, Tom Corey felt a pang in his heart. Glancing around, although the other models who were wearing makeup seemed to be doing everything as usual on the surface, and seemed to have not noticed his embarrassment at all, but Tom Corey could clearly feel a sense of schadenfreude pervading the entire tent.

Tom Corey suddenly missed ten years ago, even five years ago.

At that time, the executives of these well-known brands were definitely at the top of the food chain in the entire fashion circle. Even the top supermodels would not dare to act so arrogant in front of them. Those models who were not famous enough were even more of them. A prey that can take anything in the eyes of man.

In just a few short years, everything has changed.

The appearance of the Victoria's Secret show has made the concept of supermodel deeply ingrained in the hearts of the public.

While the personal income of top supermodels has increased significantly, the status and social influence of this group in the fashion circle has also risen, and their reliance on traditional channels of fame such as magazine covers and brand catwalks is no longer so strong. Even, the current situation has been reversed. Fashion magazines need supermodels to log on to the cover to increase sales, and brand catwalks cannot be separated from supermodels to gather popularity.

Although there are many media and celebrities in the fashion circle who often criticize the low style of the Victoria's Secret show, because of Eric's strict checks on the selection criteria of Victoria's Secret Angels, no one can deny that every angel in the Victoria's Secret Army The title of 'supermodel' is well-deserved, coupled with extensive social popularity, even if the style is high and cold luxury brands, it is impossible to ignore the existence of Victoria's Secret Angels.

Even if there is not even a supermodel on the catwalk of a high street brand, it will be questioned by the decline of popularity.

As for what it means to be a supermodel, five years ago, it was possible to get the title through repeated promotion and hype in the fashion media. But now, if a model can't be on the runway of the Victoria's Secret show, it can't be regarded as a supermodel, and forcing oneself will only 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 determined not to let go, Tom Corey had to compromise, hurriedly left the show tent, and came to a cafe across from Bryant Park.

A man and two women who had been waiting in the cafe saw Tom Corey appear and stood up together.

A man in his fifties, with unkempt curly hair and sunglasses, his name is Paul Rowland, and he is the founder and president of the Women's Management Company.

One of the two women who looked ordinary was obviously just an assistant, while the other girl was tall and tall, with a petite face, thin lips, and always seemed to have a bit of a smile at the corners of her mouth.

Because it was in a heated room, the girl didn't wear a coat. The close-fitting black wool sweater and white high-waisted trousers showed her perfect body proportions vividly. Even if she was used to seeing beautiful women, Tom Corey couldn't bear it. Zhu Zhu took a few more glances, but couldn't help feeling sorry for this model named Carmen Keith.

Being stared at by Gisele Bundchen, this girl will never want to be in the fashion circle, because with Eric Williams behind her, the Brazilian girl and the circle she built are simply a group of greedy little wolves , Not to mention, the three spokespersons that the Victoria's Secret Legion had just vacated last year, the entire model circle has smashed their heads, but now two of them have fallen to Giselle and her other best friend Qusi · On Gauff,

Although the last one is to be determined, the result is also difficult to predict.

Noticing Tom Corey's expression when he glanced at Carmen Keith, Paul Rowland felt a little bad. He took off his sunglasses, shook hands with Tom Corey, invited him to sit down, and couldn't wait to ask Said: Tom, what's the result?

Tom Corey shook his head at the approaching waiter, clearly not intending to stay for coffee, and said, Sorry, Paul, I tried my best.

An expression of extreme disappointment suddenly appeared on Paul Rowland's face. It wasn't just for the brand he just lost. Carmen Keith has lost most of the catwalks this fashion week. He just wanted to push Carmen Keith to the ck closing show to see if he could find a chance to reach a settlement with Gisele Bundchen.

But now, the other party obviously has no intention of reconciliation.

Seeing that Paul Rowland was speechless for a while, Tom Corey glanced at Carmen Keith opposite, then got up and said: That's it, Paul, the show is about to start, I still have things to do, go back first already.

Paul Rowland got up again and personally sent Tom Corey out of the coffee shop. He didn't go back. He glanced at Carmen Keith, who was looking at him with a pitiful expression behind him. Paul Rowland sighed in his heart.

The original pillar of the wm company was Kate Moss, but in recent years, the morbid beauty model of Kate Moss has suddenly lost the favor of the fashion circle. Wm can only be regarded as a second-tier model agency. Kate Moss is popular The company's influence began to plummet.

In order to reverse the situation, Paul Rowland dug up the girl from Estonia last year, and also devoted resources to help her run a vh1 annual model contest the best model of the year title, trying to make it a new pillar of the wm company.

However, because of some small mistakes in promotion strategy, well, definitely a big mistake, the company compared her with Gisele Bundchen, who has been the most popular in the past two years, in a draft of a fashion magazine. To rub the opponent's popularity, of course, it would be better if Gisele Bundchen could be stepped down.

After all, Carmen Keith has a figure that does not belong to Gisele Bundchen at all, but her face is much prettier than the other.

However, the wish is good, the reality is that Paul Rowland found himself far underestimating the energy of Gisele Bundchen, or, in other words, underestimating the degree of love Eric Williams has for the Brazilian girl .

Paul Rowland is naturally aware of the relationship between Gisele Bundchen and Eric Williams.

Now.

Can only give up Carmen Keith.

Paul Rolland can ignore Gisele Bundchen's targeting, but he can't ignore Eric Williams behind him. Even without Carmen Keith, there are still several other models under wm who can compete for the qualifications for the Victoria's Secret show, but if Carmen Keith provokes Eric Williams behind Gisele Bundchen, The whole wm do not want to turn over.

After a moment of silence, Paul Roland said to Carmen Case: Well, Carmen, you can rest for a while, and you don't have to go to Europe.

Carmen Keith, who was still looking forward to it, swayed and almost fell to the ground. She couldn't help but stepped forward and begged, Paul, Burberry's opening scene, they haven't said they will take me replaced?

I'll push it off for you, and let's wait until this season's fashion week is over, Paul Rowland took out his sunglasses from his suit pocket and put them on again, no longer looking at Carmen Keith's expression, to the woman behind her. The assistant said, Camilla, take Carmen back first.

Okay, Mr. Roland, the assistant named Camilla nodded, watching Paul Roland get into her car and leave, she pulled the somewhat lost Carmen Keith: Carmen, let's go back first .

Carmen Keith was pulled into a Chrysler on the side of the road by the assistant. When the door was closed, the girl couldn't help it any longer, she shrank in the seat and covered her face and cried loudly: How can she bully people like this, she How can she bully people like this, how can she bully people like this, @￥%%%%￥##*\u0026amp;%.”

Camilla listened to the crying in the back row, and the Estonian language she didn't understand at all, and just started the car silently.

She has been in this industry for a long time, and this kind of conflict between models has become commonplace. Even the small wm company is full of various competitions, not to mention the entire industry. It's not normal if an established model doesn't want to find ways to crush a newcomer who might threaten her status.

But think about it, that Gisele Bundchen was really lucky to be able to climb Eric Williams.

You know, Carmen Keith, a girl who can only be regarded as a 'newcomer' in front of her, is actually two years older than the other party, but Gisele Bundchen has been famous for three years.

In this way, there is a gap of five years between the two. In the fashion industry, five years is almost the replacement of an entire generation of models.

As the car moved forward, the girls in the back row changed from crying to sobbing, and from sobbing to silence.

When Camilla stopped the car outside an apartment in Greenwich Village, Carmen Keith seemed to have fully recovered. The expression on her face was not the same as before, but rather a little more determined.

Just as the car was stable, Carmen Keith said, Camilla, can you do me a favor?

Camilla felt that the girl behind her was in a wrong mood, and persuaded: Carmen, I think you'd better go back and have a good sleep first.

Carmen Keith didn't seem to hear this advice, and continued: Find me a gossip reporter, you should be able to find it.

Camilla realized something faintly, and said quickly: Carmen, you'd better not do this, Mr. Roland's side...

You have to know, Carmen Keith's tone suddenly became a little sharper, obviously on the verge of collapse, and her slender body leaned forward slightly: I'm paying your salary!

Camilla was startled by the girl's sudden outburst, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded and said, Okay, but you better know what you are doing.

Ha, what else can I do, the girl's mouth always had a faint smile suddenly became obvious, she seemed to be smiling, but a large tear rolled down her eyes: What else can I do in the future?!

She has been the most beautiful and proud of the girls around her since she was a child. She was unwilling to stay in an obscure town all her life and was mediocre. She left Estonia alone at the age of fourteen and endured for six years. I finally saw a glimmer of success, and then that little ambition and expectation was trampled to pieces in the blink of an eye.

Paul Rowland's words and attitude just now couldn't be more obvious. Now, she has been abandoned by wm.

So what else can she do?

Or, what is there to lose?

The brightly lit Manhattan always makes too many people linger, and the winter sky quickly dims. In a bar in Greenwich Village, the girl sitting in the booth near the floor-to-ceiling window looks out of the window at the neon lights on the street. , she seemed to hear show music from far away in Bryant Park.

This is naturally only an illusion.

Perhaps, he will soon leave this place.

Camilla walked in with a thin-faced white man in his thirties, and only made a gesture to her, but did not come over with the man.

Seeing the girl with brown sunglasses covering most of her face in front of her, the man smiled politely and stretched out his hand: Miss Casey, hello.

Carmen Keith was a little surprised. She glanced at Camilla who was leaving with some dissatisfaction. She even told him not to reveal her identity.

However, after a brief gaffe, Carmen Keith showed an indifferent expression again, and did not shake hands with the man. After sitting down, she said, I need you to help me follow someone.

Of course, this is my job, Miss Case, the man didn't care about Carmen Case's indifference at all, but with a hint of banter in his tone, he deliberately called out the other party's name again.

Of course, Camilla didn't tell him the identity of the girl in front of him, but, as an excellent paparazzi, listening to six ways is only a basic quality. This is not even news in the circle at all.

The man has even been able to roughly guess the purpose of Carmen Case looking for him.

Carmen Keith could also feel the contempt of the paparazzi in front of her. She bit her lip lightly, but after hesitating for a moment, she took out her satchel, took out a large thick envelope, and pushed it to the man. In front: Here is fifty thousand dollars. You help me follow Gisele Bundchen. If I can get the materials that satisfy me, I can give you another five, no, one hundred thousand dollars.

Seeing the thick envelope in front of him, the man finally put away his contemptuous expression, and even took a small breath.

It's not that he hasn't seen $50,000. As a professional paparazzi, sometimes he has photographed some celebrity scandals, and he has sold them at high prices.

What made him sigh was that the $50,000, or the $100,000 in the future, was estimated to be the entire savings of the girl in front of him. As a rookie model who has just emerged in the circle for less than half a year, he does not even have an endorsement on his body. Even if he has some fame, it is absolutely impossible to make much money.

In order to deal with his own enemies, without hesitation, he pressed all his net worth, this little girl is really ruthless.

Sighing in his heart, the man put his hand into his pocket without hesitation, pressed the recorder silently, and then said, Miss Casey, don't you know who is standing behind Gisele Bundchen? ?
