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

The taste of German food is relatively strong, Letty didn't eat a few mouthfuls at all, mainly Martin and Mark were eating and chatting, she occasionally interrupted a word or two.

Talking about next week's New York Fashion Week, Mark looked at Letty with great interest: "By the way, you can find some time to come to my studio in the upper city to try on clothes, girl, you will have two sets of clothes."

Even if it has been expected, the opening model is the most important model in the whole show, how can there be only one outfit?But Letty still showed a face of surprise and said, "Really? Oh my god, I'm so happy!"

Mark said confidently: "I promise you will like it."

Among the four major fashion weeks, New York is the first to be held, followed by London and Milan, and finally Paris.

Each fashion week has its own characteristics. For example, New York has the longest history, and its style is more commercial and leisure. Like CK and Marc Jacobs, they all take the commercial route.London is more avant-garde and avant-garde, and the entry barrier is low. There are relatively few first-line brands, one of which is Burberry.Milan is synonymous with fashion, while Paris is romantic and luxurious, with the most first-line brands.

In fact, Mark's own personal brand has two lines, the main line MarcJacobs and the secondary line MarcbyMarcJacobs. The former has an aristocratic casual style, while the latter is aimed at young consumers, so the style is more dynamic and colorful.

In addition to LV, Mark is in charge of three fashion shows in one fashion week, which is why he is so busy that he is almost invisible recently. Tonight, he happens to be free, and Letty is really lucky.

Letty raised his glass to him, "This is my first show, I really don't know what to say to thank you."

"So, can you tell me what tricks you guys are planning this time?" Mark glanced at them meaningfully, "Or, what benefits are you planning to gain from me?"

When he received the invitation to this three-person dinner, he guessed that things were not that simple

Letty and Martin exchanged a look.

Martin put away his smile, Letty put down his glass, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Mark, we need to tell you something."

……

Rewind time to six hours ago.

"Martin, I implore you to listen to me."

Although the manager was emotional, he suppressed himself vigorously, and began to wonder if there was any way to remedy it.

He had dealt with Naomi's legacy when he was a client, including multiple violent attacks on assistants, and Naomi had her own drug addiction issues.

That's why he couldn't believe it when he knew that Letty had a drug problem, because she and Naomi are two completely different types. Pearl is exactly her opposite.

But things are different now.At most, Naomi was reported by the tabloids as having a drug problem, but there was never any solid evidence. However, Letty even has a medical record, so it is difficult to deny it.

And even if Naomi was entangled in scandals, her status could not be shaken. At that time, she was already at the top of the fashion industry. These scandals only affected her image a little. Using her brand will continue to hire her.Letty has just started, and her status is far lower than that of Naomi at the time, so if this drug scandal is not handled properly, it will deal a fatal blow to her career.

Thinking of this, he felt his head hurting, why did he always sign models with so many troubles?

Martin, who was lost in thought, apparently hadn't listened to Letty's words. She got up from the bed, attracted the former's attention, and then said: "First of all, I haven't touched drugs for more than three months. I hope you know about this matter. That's why I decided to hide it from you, because it's over."

Letty hadn't been to rehab since before Couture Week, so her medical chart was up to a month old and didn't reflect her current status.

"What?" Martin looked at her with very uncertain and suspicious eyes, "You mean, you have quit drugs?"

If this is the case, then her deception is still within the acceptable range.Martin just finds it incredible that getting rid of drugs is not an easy task. People who are addicted to drugs will have their minds empty and have no other thoughts except taking that one sip. So how did she manage to get rid of drugs in a short period of time?

"Yes."—At least the physical addiction has been quit, and she hasn't had a withdrawal reaction for a while, so Letty nodded heavily, but didn't intend to tell what Tony helped her, "I You can go to the hospital for a detailed physical examination, you will definitely not be able to detect any drug ingredients in any part of my body."

Martin calmed down, now that she was out of drugs, everything was easy to talk about.Even if her medical records are really exposed by then, they can shut everyone's mouths with a healthy body report.

Being exposed to drug use is not a problem, the most important thing is to reform. Many Hollywood stars have been involved in similar scandals. For example, Johnny Depp was addicted to drugs at the age of 14 and did not quit until his daughter was born. Angelina ·Jolie has tried all the drugs before the age of 20, and now she has reshaped the healthy public image.

Who knows if they really quit drugs?In the final analysis, it is a means of public relations.

Martin looked at the expression of the black-haired girl, and said with certainty: "But you can't swallow this breath."

"Yeah, I couldn't swallow it," she admitted.

Leaving aside the fact that she wasn't the real drug addict, she was very upset about being threatened with a medical record like this, really upset.She never liked to be manipulated by others, she could bear it for the sake of her career, and this time touched on her privacy issue, anyone who had their privacy dug out would not be able to accept it, right?

Martin pondered for a moment, now that the most difficult problem has been solved, he should think about how to fight back.

The money will definitely not be paid, who knows if that person will go back on his word after paying the money?Besides, one hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount.So the medical records will be exposed sooner or later. What they need to consider now is how to deal with the media at that time.

He reminded: "Then you should be clear that once it develops to that point, it is no longer a matter between the two of us."

Yes, besides them, there is another directly affected vested interest——Mark.

Letty has appeared in a Marc Jacobs ad and is about to open the fall/winter fashion shows for LV and Marc Jacobs. If she is exposed to a drug scandal, who will be most affected besides her?Of course it was Mark.

Not to mention whether they can handle it well this time, if Letty gets involved in a scandal, the brands related to her will be the first to be affected, and Mark will definitely be unhappy.Even if this matter is subsided in the future, he will probably choose to suspend cooperation with Letty.

Therefore, in order to avoid losing a powerful ally, they need to confess to Mark before the incident becomes serious, let him have a mental preparation, and persuade him to continue to hire Letty.

After a long time, she opened her dry lips and said, "Ask Mark to come out."

……

"So, you are trying to tell me that your drug use is about to be exposed?" Mark put down the knife and fork, rubbed his forehead vigorously, "God."

At this time, Letty took out a document from her bag and smiled lightly: "Let's have a look first."

Mark took it dubiously, opened it and read it carefully.After reading the physical examination report, the famous designer's expression finally eased a little. He had the same thought as Martin, if Letty had quit drugs, then everything would be fine.

Who hasn't had a drug experience yet?Okay, this is a bit exaggerated, but many people don’t take it seriously, especially in the American college culture. If you haven’t smoked a marijuana or two, you’re embarrassed to call yourself a college student. Marijuana is just the first step. It will only go deeper and deeper in the future.

The situation in the fashion industry and Hollywood is the same. There are many people who take drugs secretly, but there is a difference between whether they are exposed or not.

Mark somewhat guessed their intentions, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you going to let this matter come to light?"

Letty and Martin specifically asked him out to tell him about it, and the subtext clearly said: "Dude, prepare yourself mentally."

Letty smiled, her pretty face was bright and moving: "Not only that."

"No, no, no, no." Mark said four NOs in a row, "I can't let the company take such a risk!"

"You won't." She said firmly, "You won't have any loss, and you will gain unimaginable benefits!"

……

Letty called Sarah and made insinuations about her, and based on the latter's reaction, it should have nothing to do with her.

This is a good thing for Letty, because she has more bargaining chips, which is Sarah.

Martin paced back and forth in the room, suddenly looked up: "Do you have any idea who did this?"

Letty thought for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I never told anyone about going to rehab."

"It seems that we have more enemies than we imagined." Martin sighed slowly, mixed with a lot of complicated emotions, "You are too good, Letty."

In retrospect, Letty's debut was pretty dramatic.Her first show was unparalleled, sharing the stage with supermodels for the first time, and she also showed her extraordinary talent.

She is a genius, with one of the best faces and figures, and in the eyes of others, she is a natural winner.

The national conditions of the two countries are different. Such a perfect personality will be followed by others in China, which is a good example.But because it is too perfect, the American people may not accept this set. Stars boldly share their private lives on the show, tell dirty jokes, and talk about their previous experience of drug use. The United States is completely reasonable, and the people like their true temperament and bold and unrestrained style.

A man without any flaws?This is impossible, she has been perfect, people will lose her freshness sooner or later, think that she is inconsistent and artificial.So she needs some "stains" to add some different colors to her image.

Letty looked into Martin's eyes, his eyes were shining sharply: "I will take the initiative to send this medical record to magazines and newspapers."

Perhaps the drug use was an untouchable wound to the original owner, and she didn't even want Isabella to let her know, let alone take the initiative to reveal her scars to the public.

But Letty is not her now, and she is not afraid of being known that she has taken drugs. I am afraid that this is something that the person who sent the anonymous letter to Martin could not have expected.Besides, she couldn't tolerate someone using her privacy to make money, so she wanted to catch that person by surprise before he sold the medical records to newspapers and magazines!

Martin gasped, and instantly understood her intentions.

Taking drugs because of ignorance when he was young, and then reforming himself for his career, striving to pursue his dream-isn't this a living and typical "American Dream" character design?

"However, how can you be sure that people will accept you?" Martin calmly asked a very important question, "Even if you have reformed yourself, it does not mean that you will be able to gain their sympathy."

"Martin, don't you think my life story is suitable for the style of a talk show?" The brunette girl raised the corners of her mouth, as if the person being talked about was not herself, "I am a minority ancestry, divorced parents, drug addicts, and then a reformed woman who pursued her dreams and rehabilitated her – except that I have not been sexually assaulted and abused, I have almost all the elements they love.”

Martin's eyes lit up and glowed fieryly: "You mean—"

……

"Benefits?" Mark frowned, with a sharp tone, "Even if this matter is calmed down by you, at most it's just whitewashing myself, what benefits can I get?"

Taking drugs is a wrong thing in the first place, and Letty just knows her mistakes and can correct them now, and her image will not be changed in any way.As the person in charge of a brand, he couldn't ignore this matter. If he used a model with a drug scandal to open the fashion show, it would undoubtedly have an impact on the brand's reputation.

He and Letty are indeed friends, but once interests are involved, no one will show mercy.

"That's right, but there is one person who can change everything and make everyone buy it." The brunette stared at him, her smoky eyes glowed faintly, bottomless, "—"Oprah's Talk Show "."

"Dang!" With a sound, the fork in Mark's hand fell onto the plate, and various emotions were mixed on his face. First he was shocked, then he couldn't believe it, and finally he fell into deep thought.

He was so surprised, not because Letty proposed to go on a talk show. It is not a new thing for artists to use talk shows to clarify some fake news. He was surprised because, as a newcomer, she chose the highest level of "" The Oprah Show? !And if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible!

——Oprah Winfrey, a talk show host, the most influential black woman in the world today, the first black American billionaire, her gold medal program "Oprah Talk Show" is the most popular in the United States ——No, the most watched talk show in the history of television, with nearly 300 million viewers every week.

Thirty-three million, what kind of frightening number is this?

The unprecedented success of her show is not because she invites high-traffic stars to come up as guests. On the contrary, sometimes the guests on Oprah's talk show are not too famous people, even the general public. The secret of her success lies in "be honest."

Oprah has never shy away from talking about her dark past, established a deep friendship with the audience, and is good at touching the feelings of guests and audiences by exchanging secrets.Therefore, Oprah's talk show is very topical, often through the analysis of sensitive topics, such as drug abuse, child abuse, sexual assault and other social issues, to provide a guiding suggestion to the audience, which has aroused widespread repercussions.

What's more, Oprah herself was plagued by drug problems.

How powerful is her influence? "Time" magazine called her the "Most Influential Person" of the 20th Century, and she was also the top of the "250 Celebrities" list selected by Forbes magazine. The new book she recommended on the TV book club program became an instant bestseller. , and its own media company "Happ Entertainment Group", the group's magazine "O" has a monthly circulation of [-] million copies in one year.

Thinking about it carefully, Oprah's own experience is somewhat similar to Letty's. She grew up in a single-parent family, one is African-American and the other is Latino-American, belonging to the disadvantaged groups in society. I also lost myself.

After a while, Mark, who was breathing more and more quickly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and spit out an exclamation: "Damn."

Yes, single parents, people of color (as seen by some), taking drugs, struggling to recover and starting their own business, enough twists and turns, enough to be sympathetic to - Damn, without a doubt, Oprah would definitely like this girl.

The author has something to say: I think of Anne Hathaway being blackmailed by the American people for being "too perfect", while her big cousin Jennifer Lawrence is loved. Feel the difference in aesthetics...
