[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Angel Kiss

On Wednesday morning, Vivienne still arrived at the interview site 10 minutes early. At this time, there were already several Victoria’s Secret signing angels sitting on the chairs outside. She could see many familiar faces at a glance, such as Ambrosio And Lima, and she looked around but couldn't find Giselle, so she moved to Lima's side, touched her hand lightly, and asked:

"Honey, where's Giselle? Why isn't she here?"

Lima gave her a big hug: "She is going to audition for the movie "The Devil Wears Prada", so she won't come to shoot the new brand."

"I'm happy for her." Vivienne sighed sincerely, "I can earn a lot of money after getting an electric shock!"

In fact, normally speaking, everyone will not share the information they know with others without reservation. First, there may be a risk of failing the interview. If you release the information too early, it will increase in vain when you fail. Laughing butt, secondly, everyone is in the same company, and their strengths are similar. Why can you win the opportunity to develop outwards but I can't?Therefore, it may cause competition and jealousy among peers, but Vivienne is so sweet that people have no way to associate any negative things with her. Since she joined the Victoria's Secret Angels, the entire angel group The atmosphere changed from harmonious to super harmonious at a speed visible to the naked eye.So Lima told her all the information she knew without reservation, and helped her straighten out the collar of her shirt that was a little wrinkled along the way: "You are still young, why did you start worrying about this in advance?"

While they were talking here, they saw a lot of people coming from the corridor on the other side. The leader was a slightly older white man with long blond hair. When Lima saw him, she let out With a low cry:

"James?"

Vivian tilted her head in confusion: "Huh?"

Lima patiently explained to her: "That is Victoria's Secret's dedicated photographer, Russell James. Basically, if he is required to appear in the product for shooting work, the top management and the headquarters have great confidence in this product."

"That's great." Vivian held her face and sighed: "I haven't seen him before when I was filming."

In fact, this is not Vivienne's problem, but the decision made by Victoria's Secret senior management.She was still a complete newcomer when she was filming 363026. Although Victoria’s Secret “has high hopes” for her objectively, this is also based on the fact that she is a newcomer. This level of attention is far from being needed by Russell James. Go out and shoot.

In fact, if some high-level executives hadn't strongly urged Vivienne Ellingson to shoot the new style, she might still be wandering around in newly opened stores to gather popularity for herself, and it would not be her turn to a newly signed newcomer. To shoot so many new product advertisements.

As a result, the decision made by the top management quickly paid off. 363026 has been sold out several times, and the popularity has not dropped at all. The perfume she photographed is also selling well, and the executives regret it:

Would it have been better if Russell James had been filmed for Ellingson in the first place?

However, a decision that has already been missed cannot be changed, and time cannot be turned back because of their regrets, so this time the Victoria’s Secret executives asked the person in charge of the pink series, the designer, and Victoria’s Secret photography at the very beginning of the interview Coach Russell James went to interview the Angels together. Be sure not to make the same mistakes, and don't let go of any potential newcomers because of mistakes and inertial thinking.

Lima also understood this truth, but when she looked at Vivienne's face, she found that she had no negative emotions at all, she was calm and calm, and she calmed down miraculously:

"Don't worry my dear, you will have countless opportunities to cooperate with him in the future, don't be in a hurry."

Vivienne asked again: "Lima, did he take hard photos of you?"

If someone else asks this question, there will be a sense of seeking information or comparison out of selfishness anyway, but if Vivian asks it, she just mentions it very simply and casually, which will not make people feel uncomfortable at all : "How many times have you filmed, what's wrong?"

"Then how can I not be in a hurry." Vivienne continued to hold her face in her hands, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was extremely sweet, especially when facing beautiful women with big breasts and long legs, Li Ma felt it on the first day she joined the group, but she didn't expect to see her in a few months. The sweetness has increased to another level, and she has evolved from a small sweetheart to a super large sweetheart:

"This is the person who has taken pictures of Lima. If he has also taken pictures of me, then the distance between me and Lima will be even closer. My goddess is sitting on the tip of my heart!"

When she held her face, she squeezed out two soft lumps of flesh on both sides of her cheeks with both hands. It was strange to say that she was well-proportioned, with slender limbs, a light and graceful body, and there was not much flesh on her face. Especially when taking side shots, the cheek lines are so perfect that the retoucher in post-production can shout "Long live the liberation", but when she holds her face like this, she can squeeze out such two lumps of flesh on her face, making her It turned out that the beautiful girl who was as beautiful as a flower turned into a cute little group pet in a second.

In the end, Lima couldn't control her ready-to-move hand, and poked her on the face, happily expressing that the hand felt super good. Immediately, the surrounding models who were also trying to restrain themselves and around the corner came up with a huff:

"Okay, okay, you've already poked it, and I want to poke it too!"

Vivienne immediately stretched her face over cooperatively: "Poke, poke~"

Ambrosio successfully squeezed himself into the front row with his extraordinary bust, and happily poked the two soft lumps of flesh protruding from her face: "God, did you grow up eating cute?"

Vivienne tilted her head and thought for a while: "I'm sure I never ate anything strange when I was growing up, but I'm not sure about the others. By the way, does the growing environment count? I think this is a very important factor.”

Ambrosio applauded and said, "Forget it."

"Then I may be so cute because I've been with you for a long time." Vivienne nodded in a serious manner: "Look around, my friends, there are beautiful women surrounded by clouds of beauties. The ink is black, and the environment creates talents."

Just when they were talking happily, the time came.The person in charge of the notification first tapped their names and began to explain to them the next interview process:

"You go to the locker room to change clothes first, and then come out to take hard photos. During the shooting, you can communicate with the photographer to achieve the most perfect shooting effect. After the shooting, leave directly through the back door. We will combine model cards and hard photos. Make a choice, then post a completely faceless photo of everyone on the official website for fans and customers to come and vote."

Some people don't know much about the second half of the process: "What if someone solicits votes?"

"We can't stop it, after all, this is also a way for fans to express their love to their favorite people." The person in charge shrugged:

"Anyway, good luck to you, the person whose name is called can come in-Adriana Lima!"

When Lima got up, Vivien seized the last time and blew a kiss to her: "I love you! You have to work hard!"

Lima smiled and blinked at her, then walked in without looking back.

Before Victoria's Secret went public, most of the underwear on the market were the most conservative basic models. Therefore, when Victoria's Secret came out, it was sexy, fashionable, romantic, and completely different from the traditional comfortable and conservative line. The style has won the favor of modern women, and after fine-tuning the target group, the latest sub-brand pink-pink beauty will be launched soon, and it will focus on fashionable, sweet, lively and lovely popular elements.It is conceivable that if the pink sub-brand can be launched, it will inevitably trigger a buying frenzy in the underwear industry. After all, the basis of public demand lies there, and who is the model at this time is particularly critical.

If the shooting is good enough, it can play a win-win role and promote each other. The model drives the sales of the second brand, and the new product can add to the popularity of the model. If the shooting is not good...

Maybe for many years to come, there will never be such a good opportunity to capture new markets.

When they called their names, they followed their initials, so Vivienne's name was placed relatively low. When her name was called, there were almost no people outside, but she was not in a hurry Shi Shiran got up and walked in.

As soon as she entered, she met Russell James head-on.He first looked at Vivienne's model card in his hand, then nodded to her, with a faint smile in his tone: "Miss Allinson is much prettier in real life than in the photos."

Vivian accepted his compliment generously: "Thank you for your compliment."

"Go over there and change." Russell James pointed to the dressing room beside him: "Come out after changing, and we will start shooting."

In the dressing room, Vivienne saw underwear hanging all over the wall.Different from the sexy and beautiful underwear that used silk, silk, lace and hollow patterns that she was used to before, these underwear are more lively and sweet, such as the fluorescent color, very sporty blue-green bra , and a whole set of pink underwear with no decoration at all, only with the Victoria's Secret logo on the side of the bra, she chose a set of pure white underwear without any embellishments, and when she came out wearing a silk bathrobe, Russell James was whispering something to the designer. When he saw her, Russell James, who was in charge of shooting, hadn’t spoken yet. The designer’s eyes lit up and he waved to her:

"Why did you choose this set?"

Vivienne said truthfully: "I think this set is the simplest and suitable for my age."

The designer is an older woman, and her brows seem to have been left with shallow lines because of always frowning. At this moment, the lines between her brows have been smoothed out with comfort and carefreeness. She nodded in satisfaction, with a smile on her face. The victorious expression announced to Russell James and several other people in charge of the interview: "Look, I know that in the end there will always be girls who can choose my favorite work." When it comes to the task of "creating a brand for young girls", the first thing that comes to mind is to make a set of underwear like this.There is no huge and conspicuous brand logo, no cumbersome lace, embroidery and lace, nothing, and the color used is only the purest white. What we pursue is the feeling of complete girlish comfort, nature and purity.But when her idea was first proposed, it was jointly opposed by several designers.They had a good relationship, though, so someone told her directly why they objected to the idea:

"Honey, we also like your design, but now it is the 21st century, and the speed of change is not the same as before. Today you may still use a phone, tomorrow you will find something like a phone It changed suddenly and became popular all over the country in an instant. And the speed of young people's change is the fastest in this era."

"In our time, not to mention puppy love, just taking a sneak peek at someone you like would make you blush and your heart beats. But now? Puppy love, smoking and drinking, hair dye and tattoo... These things have long been from' Things that young people shouldn't do' become 'whoever doesn't do these things is out of date'. And likewise, this beauty in its purest form is outdated in their eyes, and we must Come up with something new that catches their eye."

In the face of the extremely similar opinions put forward by everyone, she had to give in and chose those novel, popular fluorescent colors and candy colors that "can attract the attention of young people", but in the end, she still put herself in the design at the beginning She made this product and put it up. Although she felt that no one would choose it, as long as she could try it, she would never give up. After all, pure and beautiful things attract people. Power is the most enduring and eternal—

Even if the public's aesthetics is lost in the noisy and prosperous new era for a while, someone should bring this original beauty to them.

Models came in and out one after another, but no one chose the suit she designed.And the moment Vivian Ellingson walked out wearing it, she felt like she saw an angel.

This is not a compliment.She still has the kind of greenness unique to minors, and her clear blue eyes are so bright and so innocent. Although everyone says that youth is a kind of capital, there are very few people who can make good use of this capital , but she fully utilized this capital to the extreme.

Russell James said in an interview with the magazine before that he "always treats the women in front of the camera as family members and tries not to let them feel the feeling of wearing only underwear in front of the camera". Chatting is often used during filming to reduce the stress of the subject.Therefore, when Vivienne came out, he first habitually boasted, and then said:

"If your appearance is like that of your mother, then I believe she must also be a beauty."

——It’s true which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

These words seemed to turn on a switch that shouldn't be turned on, and the air in the whole room was quiet for a moment.The designer stretched out his feet under the table trying to kick him, reminding him that he said something wrong, but unfortunately the table and the camera were too far away to do so.Russell James doesn’t have the habit of reading gossip newspapers, he only reads fashion magazines at most, and Vivienne’s astonishing statement before that “all the rewards will be used to stop domestic cold violence and protect abandoned children.” "Following" failed to stir up much waves in fashion magazines. After all, everyone is more concerned about the current fashion trends and trends. The degree of discussion on this topic is higher on the social news board, which led to Russell James. It really opened up a topic that is not very happy.

Vivienne's voice was still very soft: "Sir, I have completely forgotten what my mother looks like. Now it is my current first guardian who fulfills the obligation of raising and caring for me, and I don't look like him at all. picture."

Russell James never expected to ask such an embarrassing question: "My God... I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." Vivienne shook her head: "After all, we still have to look forward, don't we? ——How about we start shooting right now?"

"If you're ready." Russell James focused, trying to make up for his unintentional mistake just now: "Start now, or wait a little longer?"

The implication is that he can give Vivienne time to adjust her emotions, but Vivienne didn't seem to be affected at all. She hung the bathrobe aside, and when she sat on the high chair, her feet were hidden in the In the snow-white plush carpet specially laid out for this shooting, it is as exquisite as an expensive work of art.

When she looked directly at the camera, there was no need for verbal prompts and no need to prepare for the shooting. The row of interviewers behind the camera and the person holding the camera all entered a state wonderfully:

We all knew she was ready.

With a click, her beauty was frozen.

Although she was just sitting there so innocently, there was a soft, pure, and gentle aura that pervaded her body naturally, and it also carried the vitality and greenness unique to young people, making people just like this. When you look at it, you will have a feeling of trance: ah, I was so young before, and this is the highest level that still photo shooting can achieve: to arouse the resonance of customers, so as to stimulate their desire to buy.Even after covering her face, many people would have been distracted to see her sweet and bright face. In this way, people have nothing to distract them, and they are all addicted to it. In the pure and beautiful atmosphere she brought.

In this photo, Vivienne Ellingson has done this very well. Even if you cover her face, you can't weaken this wonderful sense of resonance.Because this shooting is not mainly for official promotion but warm-up, and in line with the principle of giving newcomers a chance, Victoria’s Secret executives decided to cut off the faces of all models, except for some diehard fans who can recognize people by looking at their breasts/legs In addition, everyone can only follow their own feelings, but they didn't expect this decision to be so beneficial to Vivian.

From the moment photos and voting options appear on Victoria's Secret's official website, Vivienne Ellingson's vote count has been slowly and without pause.Her votes first surpassed Ambrosio, then passed Lima with difficulty, and finally tied with Miranda's votes. In the process, Carolina, who has a huge fan base, always took the lead in votes, while Many people who couldn't find Giselle in the photo also voted for her, which made Karolina almost double the number of votes ahead of No.2 and No.3 behind, that is, Vivi Ann and Miranda.And this situation of taking the lead was finally broken the next day.

The atmosphere of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a bit strange today. As soon as Rumlow stepped into the gate of S.H.I.E.L.D., he saw a group of female agents gathered together, holding their mobile phones in their hands and constantly poking the screen to refresh something.Although it is not working time now, this kind of behavior that is tantamount to wasting time would never have happened to them before.

He walked over and greeted briefly, and asked straightforwardly, "What are you doing?"

"Do you have something urgent to do now, Captain Rumlow?" Maria Hill wanted to hide her phone behind her back reflexively at first, but she didn't feel guilty at all when she saw Rumlow: "Delay How about your time?"

"It's nothing urgent, it's my pleasure to serve you."

"You're not working for me, agent." Maria said quickly, "Come on, get out your phone and vote for my little angel Vivi!"

Rumlow was not in the situation at all, and just maintained a delicate state of "who am I, where are you and what are you doing?" Maria taught her to register for an account on the official website of Victoria's Secret, and then voted for Vivienne. ticket.

Looking at the pictures of models on the screen, Rumlow didn't know what to say for a while. Finally, he tried his best to calmly ask: "How did you recognize it..." As a result, halfway through the sentence, he felt As soon as his nose became hot, bright red liquid flowed onto his collar.

Maria looked at him with subtle eyes, and handed over the tissue at hand: "...you have a nosebleed, Captain Rumlow. By the way, we didn't recognize him. How could we have the spare time to directly import the human skeleton data into It was analyzed in the computer. If too many votes from the same IP at one time would be judged as fraudulent votes, we would definitely vote collectively.”

Rumlow stuffed the tissue into his nose, embarrassed and unable to explain: "The weather is too dry recently."

"If it weren't for someone who knows that you still have a moral bottom line, I would blow your head off here today." Maria waved the rolled up newspaper at him threateningly, and Rumlow saw it sharply. There is a photo of Vivienne in the fashion column, so she covered her nose with one hand, and stretched out the other hand:

"Can you borrow this for me?"

"I thought you would pay more attention to your former employer." Maria shrugged and handed over the newspaper in hand. As soon as Rumlow opened it, he saw the huge photo that took up the entire board. The two pictures are put together. Vivienne on the left is wearing a blue dress, which is soft and elegant, and she on the right is wearing a punk style dress, which is glamorous and charming.

He held the newspaper and looked at it for a long time before he smiled, folded it up and put it in the pocket of his combat uniform, without any intention of returning it to Maria.

A few weeks later, Victoria's Secret's official website voting closed, and the names of the three highest voters were announced, namely Karolina Kurkova, Vivienne Ellingson and Miranda Kerr, No. 1 Karolina and No.2 Vivienne are only one vote apart, and the three will jointly perform the pink series, all new products from 2006 to 2007.

In June of the same year, Vivian graduated with honors from Midtown High School and entered the American Film Academy.
