It's not easy to be a supermodel [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

That night, Letty dressed herself carefully according to Martin's request, and met Mark in a high-end restaurant with him in pointed high-heeled shoes.

She was wearing a black dress with a white fluffy shawl and bright red lipstick. She was noble and glamorous. The honey-colored skin was set off by the black dress, and the corners of her eyes were upturned. Her smoky gray eyes always carried a bit of inhumanity, and she looked like a celebrity who came out of the upper class.

When she and Martin got out of the taxi one after another, the eyes of the whole street seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and Letty was that magnet, and some people were even discussing whether she was a Hollywood actress. big star.

Martin muttered, "I bet they thought I was your bodyguard."

Letty chuckled, "May I ask you to carry my bag?"

Her manager gave her a sideways look: "You think well, little girl."

Letty rolled her eyes in her heart, in terms of mental age, you are not much older than her, okay?

Letty has been in these high-end places before, and she will behave properly in words and deeds. She walks quietly behind Martin, with a natural look, and does not look around. This is very impolite to those who are dining. , Even Martin nodded secretly.

Thinking of the environment in which she grew up, and Letty's usual calmness and stability that is no different from her age, this is not at all like a child who grew up in an ordinary Spanish family.

Martin's impression of a girl her age was impulsive and emotional, but none of those traits could describe her.

An obedient and cooperative partner is more important than anything else, this is his personal experience.

Marc Jacobs, who arrived one step earlier than them, stood up and kissed Letty on the cheek.

"Have you been gone for a month?" Mark opened the seat for her very gentlemanly, "I almost didn't recognize you."

Letty thanked him, stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Lex's idea."

"I knew it." Mark looked at Martin, smiled brighter, and hugged him heartily, "Your vision is always so unique."

Martin raised his eyebrows with a familiar tone: "And you will always know that I have a unique vision, otherwise you wouldn't have introduced her to me, would you?"

This is an authentic French restaurant, and one troublesome thing about French food is that the meal times are extremely long.

How long is it?

About three hours.

Letty is a very patient person, but patience depends on the situation. Three hours to eat a meal is a bit too exaggerated.

The waiter first poured red wine for them. According to American law, you can only drink alcohol at the age of 21, and Letty is still far away from 21, but obviously the three of them didn't care. It would be too disappointing if she was the only one who didn't drink it. Drinking is also socializing. kind of.

After they had almost had a drink, the appetizers were served, the soup was served slowly after the appetizers were finished, and the main course, dessert and coffee were served after they finished drinking...

Letty is starting to feel sleepy, and her agent is chatting with the designer about their high school days.

"Sorry, did I hear you right?" Letty interrupted at the right time. The timing of her insertion was just right. If Martin and Mark continued to chat, she would be completely reduced to a vase. This was not the original intention of Martin to bring her here.

She circled between them with interested eyes, "Are you the same age?"

"Martin is my classmate in high school." Mark took a sip of red wine, "Why, is it surprising?"

Letty really didn't know, she said with a smile: "Mr. Lex never mentioned his age to me, I thought he was already fifty?"

Martin glared at her immediately, but Mark laughed: "Oh Martin, you really should take good care of yourself."

Martin said angrily, "I'm just a small agent, and I don't make as much money as you do."

The well-known designer toasted his old friend from a distance, with a bit of tired bitterness in his voice: "Money is not easy to earn."

There was a sudden silence at the dinner table, because the three of them knew that making money in the fashion industry was never an easy task.You have to please them, and their tastes change every day.

By the time the wine was almost finished, the atmosphere was just right. Martin caught the moment and said, "By the way, it's almost autumn and winter fashion week, isn't it? LV and Marc Jacobs' autumn and winter fashion blockbusters have already started filming?"

Mark put down his glass and gave him a knowing smile: "I thought you'd wait until the meal was almost over to explain why you came."

Knowing his friend well, he was sure that Martin hadn't arranged this dinner today just to catch up with him.

He folded his hands on the dining table and said slowly: "I regret to tell you that even if I am the director, I have to be responsible to the shareholders of the company. It is a very risky approach to let a newcomer participate in a large advertising campaign. satisfied."

Martin didn't show a disappointed expression. He never thought that there would be a harvest today. Why did such a large piece of pie fall from the sky?

Rome was not built in a day. If Leti wants to gain a foothold in the fashion industry, there is no rush. You will never make money in HF. Only by earnestly laying a solid foundation and slowly expanding your influence can you remain invincible.

At this time, Mark looked at the black-haired girl again and said, "But I can promise you, if you can attend at least three haute couture shows, I can let you appear in LV and Marc Jacobs fashion blockbusters next year."

Letty immediately exchanged a glance with the agent.

Mark is investing.

If Leti can really walk in the high fashion show as soon as she debuts, it not only proves her potential, but she will also definitely attract the attention of the fashion industry.

With the help of her short-lived fame, his own brand can get the same attention and topicality, and he only needs to let Letty show his face in the advertising blockbuster. He didn't say how long, it might be just a shot, and the cost is extremely low, yes As far as he is concerned, there is no harm at all.

Furthermore, he was quite aware of the abilities of the old fox, Martin Lex.

Maybe his connections and resources are not top-notch, but his public relations are definitely top-notch.He can make you the most topical model in the fashion industry, and can also double your worth several times. Naomi Campbell was able to quickly attract attention when she stepped into the fashion industry. A lot of force.

Naomi's ethnicity is her weakness, but Martin takes advantage of it and makes her a unique "black pearl" in the fashion industry.Martin prefers less popular models, and Letty is not mainstream enough, so Mark would think of introducing her to Martin.

One is a talented newcomer, and the other is an experienced agent who is good at creating non-mainstream models. He is looking forward to what sparks they will create.

Letty has no reason to refuse, anyway, she doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to get the brand's phone number, she believes that if there is a first cooperation, there will be a second one.

She raised her glass to Mark, with the corners of her mouth raised: "Well, I hope I can bring you good news."

Mark clinked glasses with her and made a clear "dang" sound, as if some agreement had been finalized.

Mark and she both took a sip, the former wiped his mouth, put down his glass, and said to Martin in a teasing tone: "I guess, you are going to betray my hue again this time?"

"What's so ugly about betrayal." Martin didn't intend to hide his cunning idea of ​​inviting paparazzi to secretly take pictures, and he said confidently, "I'm announcing our friendship to the world."

Mark finally couldn't keep his image, and rolled his eyes at him: "Come on, this friendship is really fragile."

Although Mark's tone was very disgusting, he could still hear that he didn't really mind that much.

Letty finally realized how good the friendship between the two was.Mark knew of Martin's cunning idea early on, but he didn't mind. Martin also knew this, otherwise he wouldn't offend him like this for Letty.

"Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom." Letty smiled at the two men, then left the seat with her cosmetic bag.

Mark's eyes were glued to the back of the black-haired beauty until she disappeared from sight, then looked back at Martin, who was opposite, and asked tentatively: "Are you going to make her the second Naomi Campbell?" Son? A Latin version of Naomi?"

"No." Martin smiled, shook his glass, and said meaningfully, "She is her, Leticia López Oliveira, not anyone's second."

"She is Lopez I."

……

After returning to New York, a thin layer of snow has accumulated on the streets, and the shelves of department stores and supermarkets are beginning to be filled with Christmas decorations, which means that Christmas is coming.

This is Letty's first time spending Christmas abroad. Just like Chinese New Year, Christmas is the most important program in the West. More money was pulled out of the pockets of the participants, Christmas trees and decorations could be seen everywhere, and there was a joyous atmosphere, even the model apartment was decorated with a strong festive flavor by everyone.

On Christmas Day, other people held a party in the model's apartment. Letty didn't want to participate, but after hearing from Freya that she was going to move to Paris next year, the two of them didn't have much time to spend together. Go to the party with her.

After Amanda moved out, the atmosphere in the apartment became more harmonious. After hearing the news that Letty went to Paris for an interview, other newcomers showed their favor to her one after another. Which newcomer can get such treatment?Doesn't this mean that the company wants to praise her!

In fact, Martin is the only one who wants to praise her. Whether she can impress the company's top management is still unknown.

The next day, Letty, who played until the early hours of the morning, was summoned by a phone call from Martin, who said he had something important to tell her.

It is Christmas holiday now, and the company should be closed according to reason, but Martin got the key of the company somehow, and the two met in his office.

As soon as she entered, the heating in the room rushed to her face, and it was so warm that sleeping insects kept running out. Martin, who was looking at the white scenery outside the window, turned around when he heard the sound of the door opening. He was wearing a red scarf and his overcoat The stomach is covered, but it seems that she has lost a lot of weight.

The agent said mysteriously: "The interview has already been concluded, guess what happened?"

Letty, who was somewhat sleepy, woke up immediately, and said anxiously: "Oh my God, don't whet my appetite, just say it!"

Martin took a deep breath, and when Letty was so nervous that he was about to go crazy, his dignified expression was replaced by satisfaction, and he said again: "Lopez, you did it! You almost won all the haute couture shows!"

The brunette girl was taken aback: "Almost?"

"Yes, almost." He nodded. "You won seven out of eight, except Dior."

Letty was delighted at first, and then heaved a long sigh: "Except for Dior..."

This is also understandable.

Since "Pirate Lord" John Galliano took over Dior in 1996, this genius led Dior to another glorious era. He perfectly matched his romantic ideas with design and made a distinctive mark in Dior. Every piece of Haute Couture is a work of art that amazes the world, and is undisputedly recognized as the highest level in the fashion industry.

Dior's romantic and luxurious style doesn't fit her very well. No matter how good her steps are, they will give priority to choosing the model that best expresses the brand's style.

It would be better to say that there is a dimensional wall between her and Dior. The Pirate Lord is also known as a person who does his own way, let alone a celebrity, even if he is a supermodel, he will not choose it if he says he will not choose it.

One of the reasons why the Pirate Lord is respected by everyone is that he puts art first and money second.

Martin was not very satisfied with her bland reaction, and he strengthened his tone: "Do you know what seven haute couture shows mean?"

He has created the "Black Pearl" in the fashion industry and has experienced the taste of the pinnacle. Of course, a few high-definition shows will not make him so excited.

However, when Naomi first debuted, it took them a lot of time to let her touch the side of HF, and Letty?She did it in a month!This feeling of success cannot be expressed in words.

Even the first show of Gemma, who became popular because of her baby face, was Prada and its subsidiary line MiuMiu. After that, she received more and more contracts, and gradually got the chance to go high...

"—means you're going to be hot, Lopez!"

The supermodels in the couture show are everywhere, and it seems that there is no place for newcomers, but he knows that if Letty can perform stably, his performance will never be worse than them.

If she succeeds in breaking out among the gods, fame, job, and money will follow.

What's the quickest way to become famous?Climb on the dead body of the enemy.

But thinking of the gods, Martin began to worry again——Carmen Keith, Gemma Ward, Maria Carla Pogono, and his predecessor, Naomi Campbell, who had already become a god. Several of them are frequent visitors of the high-end show, and Letty will inevitably meet them on the runway... Naomi's personality is very familiar to him, if she knows that Letty is the current manager of her former manager, maybe she will be good "Take care" of her...

Passing the interview is just the first hurdle. The most important hurdle is how not to be buried by the brilliance of the gods.

One fight to become famous, or nothing to lose, a seemingly rare opportunity is full of dangers hidden everywhere, and if she makes a mistake, she may never turn around. Can she really compete with the gods on the runway?
