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

Being able to be the manager of "Black Pearl" Naomi Campbell is definitely not a small skill. After the ecstasy, Letty began to worry whether he would be moved by her.

In any case, this is an extremely rare opportunity, which was bestowed on her by Mark Jacob himself, and it is of great significance, and she cannot let him down.

The only problem is that the "old friend" Mark is talking about is in New York.To meet him, Letty had to go to New York, and if she really succeeded in signing the contract, she might also need to settle in New York.

Although WOMEN also has a branch in Miami, New York always has more opportunities and resources. After all, it is one of the four major fashion weeks and the capital of fashion, which cannot be compared with Miami.

In fact, since modeling is an international profession, a model can sign contracts with several agencies at the same time, which has a higher degree of freedom than stars and entertainers.

But in a city, you can only sign with one company, and the brokerage company will provide you with intermediary services. Models need to go to work in different cities frequently, so when you go to work in different cities, there will be someone who will serve you, so in fact the so-called A brokerage firm is more like a stronghold.

Generally, well-known brokerage companies have construction branches in several important cities—mainly the venues of the four major fashion weeks. For example, IMG, which is headquartered in New York, has branches in Paris, London and Milan.

If Letty signs with WOMENNewYork in New York, she can no longer sign with WOMEN in Miami, because WOMEN does not have a branch here, so she has to find another modeling agency that has a branch in Miami.

Similarly, she can also sign contracts with different companies such as IMG, NEXT, DNA, etc. in other cities. If she wants to develop in those cities, after all, WOMENNewYork's hand cannot be extended to Paris.

Models can have different agencies, and agencies share models in the industry, and agents can be in charge of several models at the same time. This is called business crossover, which can achieve the most effective resource allocation.

In Hollywood, the role of an agent is to act as a middleman between actors and studios; in football, an agent is responsible for dealing with players and clubs, manipulating player transfers and negotiating contracts; The role of the model is also similar, it is the intermediary between the model and various brands and magazines. A good agent must have a lot of contacts and resources, so as to help the model win the most opportunities and the highest remuneration.

It is basically impossible for a pure newcomer like Letty to enter the four major fashion weeks on his own. The selection directors of various fashion brands use their agents to find models, and the agents will provide interview opportunities to the models.

Brands and magazines basically do not directly contact models themselves, they contact models through agents.

Looking around the entire United States, New York is undoubtedly the most suitable for her development, so she must carefully choose her agent in New York.

As one of the top modeling agencies in the industry, WOMEN is naturally her first choice.

All her mind was thinking about signing the contract, she didn't notice the black-haired woman approaching, Isabella was afraid that the two children would be unhappy, so after comforting Alex, she comforted Letty and said: " You've done a good job, don't feel bad."

Her voice recalled Letty's thoughts. After agreeing to Mark, Letty realized that she was not alone now, and Isabella was her guardian.

In other words, she cannot decide everything by herself.

It's not something you can get used to right away, especially since she just became Leticia Lopez this morning and it's still going to take some time to get used to having her first family member in her life.

Would Isabella object?she does not know.In the memory of the original owner, the mother is a very tolerant person. The main reason is that she hopes to make up for the harm she has done to the child in other ways. After all, the original owner will change from a good girl to this All because of the divorce of the parents.

But will she agree to let her daughter drop her studies and take a path that is, at first sight, fraught with uncertainty?

If Letty were a mother, she wouldn't want her daughter to be a model too much. It was a very unstable job, and she might not even be able to take care of herself well.

Anyway, sooner or later, I have to confess, Letty stopped struggling, and said bluntly: "I have something to tell you."

Isabella fell into a rare silence after listening.

Letty was a little elusive about the woman's thoughts, so she had to wait for her to speak.She is not in a hurry, if Isabella disagrees, she has a way to persuade her.

There is a 13-year difference between Isabella's age and Letty's actual age. She really can't see her as her real mother, but more like a very close friend.

After a short silence, the dark-haired woman finally said, "Do you want to go to New York?"

"Yes." Letty made no secret of her desire, her clear eyes met Isabella's.

"To be honest, if it was you who asked me about this matter yesterday, I probably wouldn't agree." Isabella sighed a long time, "Although I don't understand the modeling industry, after watching you After the show, I felt that if I didn't let you go, I would break your wings and stop you from flying."

Even if Isabella really didn't understand anything, she could vaguely tell from the reactions of other people that Letty's performance was very impressive.Moreover, in her layman's eyes, it is obvious that Letty's level is much higher than that of other models.

When Isabella recommended her daughter to Alex, she just hoped that she would stop partying all day long, waste her time, and do something meaningful.

She never expected that Letty would look so glamorous on the runway. She is not an unenlightened parent. If this can't impress her, I'm afraid nothing will.

She could see that Letty was enjoying the catwalk from the bottom of her heart, and it was the first time she had seen her so caring about something.

Letty's eyes widened in disbelief: "So, you agree?"

Isabella nodded slightly, smiling with relief: "Yes, I will ask for leave to accompany you."

Her full job is a reporter for "USA Today", so she can't ask for leave just because she asked for leave, which will definitely bring a lot of trouble to Isabella, Letty quickly waved her hand: "What? No, no, no, I can go by myself, no need accompany me."

Isabella denied it straight away: "No, you haven't even been to New York!"

—Of course I’ve been there, and I’ve been there several times.

Letty thought in her heart, but she couldn't explain it to Isabella in this way, so she could only insist: "I really don't need to ask for leave, I can take care of myself, at least give me a chance to prove myself, right?"

The brunette woman was a bit tangled and contradictory. On the one hand, she was very worried that her newly grown daughter would go to a strange place alone-she couldn't even speak English well!On the other hand, she didn't want to control Letty everywhere.

With an idea, Isabella came up with a way to get the best of both worlds: "How about this, I will contact a colleague I met on a business trip to New York before and let you stay with him for a few days. The center of New York is only a two-hour drive away, so I feel more at ease with a caretaker."

"'El'?" Letty was slightly taken aback, "El" means "he" in Spanish, so it would be more dangerous for her to live with a man, right? !

Isabella saw her worry, and slowed down her tone: "Yes, don't worry, he is the most upright guy I have ever met, and he is not much older than you, you should be able to chat. "

It seemed that this was the only way to make her feel at ease. Leti raised her hands and made a concession: "Okay, I understand." The big deal is to explain to that person when I arrive, as long as Isabella can be fooled Just pull it.

Before leaving the exhibition hall, Letty took a long look at Tony Stark, who was surrounded by reporters, but quickly looked away, giving up the idea of ​​saying thank you to him.

The next destination of the two is New York, and they will meet naturally if they are destined.

"Hey, stop!"

Leti, who was at the entrance of the exhibition hall, turned her head, and it was actually No.15 who was calling her. She frowned, what did this person want to do?

"Are you going to New York?" NO.15 obviously heard the conversation between Mark and her, folded his hands, and said to her in a senior tone, "You think you can become a professional with a good face and a little bit of walking? You really don't know anything about the fashion industry when you're a model."

Letty asked nonchalantly: "Then what should a 'professional model' look like? Like you?"

NO.15 froze for a moment, Letty's words seemed to be sarcastic, but she didn't look like that, so she continued: "Of course, I helped Kenny win the championship, can you?"

She seemed to have forgotten that this was a fashion design competition, not a modeling competition, and that the designer won, not her.

No matter how well Letty walks, it is unlikely to change the result. The focus of the competition is that the clothes are not models, and they cannot take the lead.

Relying on the designer to win the competition is definitely not the reason why you can shout in front of her.

Letty raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp: "Then you should ask your designer who he thinks performs better."

She "kindly" reminded her, who knew that the other party was so ungrateful, the voice of the NO.15 female model suddenly became sharp: "The fashion industry is not what you think, don't think too much of yourself, you have never even gone through a real fashion week !"

Speaking of which, she became full of confidence again. That's right, she has really walked through the four major fashion weeks. The Latina in front of her probably hasn't even seen a fashion show!

"My company is IMG in New York. Although I don't think you can successfully sign the contract, if we meet again, don't say I didn't remind you that Latinos are not welcome in HighFashion!"

Her words are a bit discriminatory, which also reflects some situations in the United States. Even though Latinos are the largest ethnic minority in the United States, many Americans still regard them as people of color. I am afraid that NO.15 Also one of them.

The situation of Latino Americans is quite embarrassing. If a Latino is offended, everyone’s reaction will not be too violent, because some Latinos are white. Does a white person offend a white person constitute racial discrimination?Most people think not.

Conversely, if an African-American is offended, there is a big problem, everyone calls him a white supremacist!

In Miami, where half the population is Latino, Letty rarely encounters such problems, but in New York, the situation may be different.

I'm afraid Letty will have to deal with racial discrimination for the rest of her life.

Letty looked at her with a half-smile, with a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth: "Really? I really look forward to meeting you next time."

The author has something to say:

I found it a headache to find the information. The authoritative model website models.com can find the information of all the contracted models, including the agency. I found that every model has at least two agencies, such as Kashen. She has seven different agencies. The brokerage company has signed a contract, New York is A, Paris is B, Milan is C... I don’t know exactly how it works, so the part about the brokerage company is all up to me, don’t take it seriously (
