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

Letty remembered another thing, and frowned happily: "So, have you got the autumn and winter blockbusters of LV and Marc Jacobs?"

Martin replied very positively: "I got it."

In fact, Martin had already informed Mark before calling Letty over, and showed off in front of his friends.

At that time, Mark complained in his heart: It seems that he was the one who discovered her, okay?

He said that if Letty can win at least three haute couture fashion shows, he will let her appear in the autumn and winter fashion blockbusters. Now that she has really done it, and she has exceeded her quota, he will naturally not break her promise.

When he made this condition, Mark felt that he was a bit harsh. No matter how talented Letty is, it is still not easy to go high-end as soon as he debuts. This is not only a matter of his own strength, but also luck, connections and opportunities And other factors.

If Martin hadn't helped her behind the scenes, something must have happened.

He guessed right, Martin did contribute quietly behind the scenes.

It was only in the 90s that he and Naomi competed in the fashion industry, and it has not been long since the present.At that time, Naomi was the hottest supermodel, and he was the gold agent that everyone wanted to win over. If you want to contact Naomi, you have to go through him first.

Martin spent ten years silently expanding his network of fashion magazine editors, fashion publicists, photographers, designers, and selection directors... Even though he and Naomi had terminated their contract for six years, they had never Give up your network.

After Letty's interview, Martin made a few phone calls and threw all the sugar-coated bullets. He even deliberately and accidentally revealed that Letty is the target of WOMEN.

He just said the word "future" less.

This strategy is not always effective. Fortunately, Letty's own strength is enough to make people look at him differently, otherwise it would be useless no matter how many calls he made.Of course, some people don't appreciate it, such as Dior.

This is a gamble. If Leti does not perform well on the runway, his reputation will plummet, and no one will give him face in the future.

No pain no gain.

Therefore, the uncle who is smiling on the surface may be a big sinister spider behind his back.

Then, counting the yet-to-be-filmed "Harper's Bazaar", Letty's itinerary will be full at once.

Then there were still a few days left for the Christmas holiday, but Letty was getting more and more busy, and she didn't even have time to go back to Miami to be with Isabella.

The 2005 spring/summer haute couture fashion show was held at the end of January. Letty had to go to Paris to try clothes again in the middle of the month. Her schedule was very intensive. The seven shows were distributed between the 24th and 26th. On average, she walked two to two times a day. Three shows, one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The duration of a show is about 10 to [-] minutes—this is just for the guests. The whole process of the model from makeup to styling, from fitting to catwalk, takes about three or three minutes. Four hours, in other words, Letty had to work sixteen hours a day for three consecutive days.

At present, she still doesn't know what style she will be assigned to. The second fitting will be a few days before the fashion show, and then she will know what she will wear on the runway.

Before that, she still needs to travel all over the world and go to different cities to participate in the interview of autumn and winter fashion week.

The four major autumn and winter fashion weeks are held immediately after Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, and are held from February to March. Some people may wonder why January is Spring/Summer Haute Couture, and February becomes Autumn/Winter Fashion Week. Is the span too large? up?

In fact, the rules of high-end fashion weeks are different from those of the four major fashion weeks.In the autumn and winter fashion week in February, the autumn and winter series of the same year were released. The interval between the fashion show and the official release is about six months, so the autumn fashion will be released half a year earlier, that is, in February and March.

As for couture, its release interval is relatively short (it is better to say that couture is not on sale, only orders are accepted), only about two months, so the spring couture will be released in January.

As for the four major spring and summer fashion weeks in September, the spring and summer collections for the coming year will be released, so the "2006 spring and summer fashion week" was actually held in 2005, and 2006 means that the spring and summer collections are not the current year.

In addition, she also has the inside page shooting of "Harper's Bazaar", which will be carried out in a few days.

Martin finally remembered to reveal the content of the shooting to Letty, and he was prepared to be yelled at, but after listening to Letty, he just nodded calmly and asked, "What snake?"

"It looks like a boa constrictor, a very thick one."

"that's it?"

"What's that?" Martin was in a mess. Shouldn't normal girls be frightened when they heard that they were going to shoot with snakes?Why does she look a little disappointed? !

Letty said honestly: "When you said this shoot was very dangerous, I thought I was going to go up the mountain and down the sea, and it turned out to be a snake."

As long as it's not a frog, it's easy to say anything.

Martin: "..."

……

Because the work is too busy, Letty had to give up the idea of ​​finding a part-time job.

It's been a month since she came to New York, and she continues to be unable to make ends meet—no, does she really have an income?

Apart from the rent and daily expenses, her main expenses are air tickets and accommodation for the interview.

Isn't it from the company?of course not.The company just paid for her first, and what will be paid back in the future is included in her remuneration.

Letty was even more melancholy when it came to remuneration.

First of all, ordinary newcomers will not get any income from catwalks. Some brands will use their own clothes and bags as rewards. It is rare for them to give you this opportunity, and they still want to collect money?If you don't leave, many people will line up to grab your seat.

Likewise, shooting for magazines is unpaid, unless you're a supermodel.The only one with a conscience was Marc Jacobs. He promised to pay Letty's salary.

And this is probably because he gave Martin face.

The income obtained has to be split with the company and paid taxes. The heavy tax rate in the United States is not new. I am afraid that Letty will face the problem of making ends meet in the next year.

It was not good for her to ask Isabella for too much money. She was already an adult in her thirties, so she couldn't be ashamed, and she didn't want to burden her.

So, it's really hard to be a model.

While meditating, Letty didn't notice that there was a sports car behind her that had followed her for a whole street, but there were quite a few excited passers-by pointing at the car that was too cool to have friends, and anyone with discerning eyes recognized it It was a limited-edition Ferrari, uncommon even in New York, the capital of the rich.

It would be even crazier if they could see who was in the car.

Tony Stark in the car is certainly not a stalker, he just accidentally saw a girl on the street who looked like a little model he met at a game in Miami - not very similar, and now he can confirm Indeed she was right.

Tony pulled the car closer to the side of the road, and this time he finally caught Letty's attention. She paused and looked suspiciously at the black and opaque window of the sports car.

Tony's first thought was that this girl from Miami must not be used to the weather in New York.

It is the coldest month in New York, Tony saw the black-haired girl outside the car window wrapping herself like a rice dumpling, with a thick scarf covering half of her face, only her eyes were exposed, she was walking against the wind , the biting cold wind made her hair a little messy, and he wondered if the two bamboo-like legs would be broken by the wind.

She had cut her hair, lost a lot of weight, and covered half of her face, but he just recognized her.

Because of those eyes.

It is as clear and cold as the melting ice water on the snow-capped mountains, and you will get frostbite if you touch it.

Letty didn't know that they were looking at each other from a distance through the car window, she stepped back a little cautiously, as if she was afraid that two strong men would rush out of the car and grab her away.

There is no strong man, but there is a billionaire. As soon as the window was lowered, the passers-by gasped.

"Tony Stark!" someone screamed.

The black-haired girl loosened the scarf a little, revealing her trembling lips, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Stark?"

Her nose and cheeks were red from the cold, and she looked a little embarrassed.

The man took off his sunglasses, and his big caramel-colored eyes were stained with a slight smile, shining brightly: "Hey Miss Mermaid, why are you in New York?"

Tony Stark has seen countless beautiful girls, but he can't remember the names of even ten.When you stand at the top and have everything, some dispensable things will naturally not be remembered so clearly.

He remembered Letty for the simple reason that he didn't know her name.

The standing Letty was a little taller than the richest man in New York in the car, and she leaned over to hear him clearly, but she didn't know that this posture looked like she was kissing the people in the car from the perspective of the people behind.

"I signed a contract with the modeling agency here, and I am currently living in New York." After a pause, she continued, "By the way, I didn't have time to thank you last time."

Thinking of the first meeting between the two, it seemed like a long time had passed.At that time, Letty almost collapsed due to drug addiction, and now she is trying to quit bit by bit.

The weight has also dropped from 110 pounds to [-] pounds, and she can speak English more and more smoothly. If it wasn't for the unexpected encounter with Tony in Manhattan today, Letty would not have noticed the person who appeared on the first day of her new life. I have changed so much.

It had been a month since her death and rebirth, and the speed at which she integrated into her new life was astonishingly fast, and it was beyond her expectations.

why?She thought it was because she had a purpose.

She has something to accomplish, she wants to climb to the pinnacle of the fashion world that was out of reach in her previous life, and see what the scenery is like there.

If she lost her goal, she didn't know how she would collapse.

Thanks to the unknown passerby shouting Tony's name, more and more people moved closer to this side, and some whispers were also carried into Letty's ears along with the cold wind.

"That selfish arms dealer..."

"Using the lives of citizens to make money!"

"Who is that woman? New girlfriend?"

"He's as handsome in real life as in a magazine!"

Letty did not expect his evaluation to be so polarized.

She didn't pay much attention to the news or newspapers, she had enough things to deal with every day, she would rather take a good rest during this time.She only knew that this man was very famous, but she didn't expect what other Americans would think of him.

And the fact that some people loved him and some hated him didn't surprise Letty at all. Unless it's dollar bills and euros, nothing in the world can be liked by everyone.

But rather than blindly trusting those rumors, Letty prefers to see with her own eyes.What kind of person Tony Stark is, she doesn't need to be told by others, she will discover it herself.At least, she thinks a person who will stand up for others is not a bad person.

Letty heard it, Tony himself couldn't hear it, but his expression didn't change at all, as if he was used to it, and Letty didn't show any different emotions because of any of their words, watching the man's face Gray eyes are always clear and bright.

Both of them knew this well, but they didn't mention it tacitly.

Tony put his hands on the car window, poked his head out, and asked her nonchalantly, "Where are you going? Shall I drive you?"

"No, I..."

Before Letty finished speaking, Tony said again: "There is heating in the car."

It took Letty a second to open the door, and he got into the Ferrari compartment quickly, and then said to him expressionlessly: "No. 13, West Fayette Street, downtown, thank you."

Tony was amused by her decisiveness, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he said briskly, "At your service, ma'am."

……

It is only a few blocks away from here to the downtown, and it arrived in a short time. Letty didn't even sit on a chair to warm up, but the heater in the carriage was so comfortable that she wanted to sleep. Rich people really know how to enjoy life.

In order to save money on the subway, she walked back to the dormitory in the weather of only two or three degrees, not even willing to spend a dollar or two.

The Ferrari slowly stopped at the door of the model's apartment, but the parking space in front of the originally empty door was occupied by another car, and they could only stop a little further away.

Letty frowned, the appearance of that car was not inferior to Tony's Ferrari at all, and she always felt as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Wait a minute, this familiar Porsche...
