It's not easy to be a supermodel [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]
Chapter 9 Signing the contract!
Why is she worth it, the question itself is a trap, if she answers something like "because I'm good at balabala" then she can probably pack up and go.
Who wouldn't say such beautiful words?
But it would be even worse if she didn't speak. If you can't even think of your own advantages, how can you convince others?
Before coming to New York, Letty had thought carefully about how to impress this agent.
You know, his last partner was Naomi Campbell, and there are not many people in the fashion industry who are better than her, so his vision is naturally unusually high.
Although Letty was recommended by Marc Jacobs, it doesn't mean that Martin Lex will sell him a favor.Seriously, what was her relationship with Mark?Even if Martin doesn't sign her, it won't affect either of them in the slightest.
In the final analysis, Leticia Lopez is just a little-known little person, and if he does not sign, he will not sign, and the brokerage company is not a charity.
Martin's predecessor was Naomi Campbell, and he has already promoted her to the top of the pyramid. This achievement is unparalleled. It is normal that he has been unable to find a suitable model over the years, because too difficult.
Therefore, the only thing that can arouse his interest is to create a more successful model than Naomi.
Letty is really that confident about this?It wasn't, but she had to pretend it was!She wants to convince the other party that she is not talking casually, she has confidence!
Among other things, the effect of this arrogant statement was really good, at least Martin was really shocked by her.
After a few seconds, the astonishment on his face faded, he leaned back and laughed a few times.
It's like hearing a little boy playing football on the street saying that he wants to surpass Mardonna.
Letty didn't get angry or stop him, just watched him laughing quietly, with an open and aboveboard expression, as if she had nothing to be ashamed of at all.
After the laughter stopped, the manager held his chin, and he admired the consistent expression of the black-haired girl: "You remind me of someone."
"Who?"
"Tony Stark."
"..."
Letty couldn't tell whether the evaluation was positive or negative. At this moment, Martin stroked his chin again, with a flash of interest in his eyes, and said, "What do you think you have to challenge a legendary supermodel?"
Just waiting for you to ask this question, Letty smiled slightly, and her bewitching voice was somewhat ambitious: "I think no matter who it is, even a proud luxury brand, it will definitely bow to money in the end."
"Even Chanel has to make money. The line between HF and business will only become more and more blurred. Gisele Bundchen went to the Victoria's Secret catwalk, and Maybelline invited HF supermodels to endorse. It's all about money."
It is a fact that when a country's economy develops and people's demand for luxury goods increases, brands that smell business opportunities begin to think of ways to earn more money from their pockets.
She's not trying to be the next Naomi Campbell, she's who she is - a presence no brand can refuse!
The smile on the corner of the girl's mouth was extremely bright: "They need a model who can maintain the style of the brand and at the same time make money for the brand, and I can make consumers like me!"
Sunshine came in from the window and sprinkled on her body, the gray eyes were stained with the blue sky, and for a moment the whole person was shining brightly.
Letty doesn't know much English vocabulary, and her accent is a bit crooked. She uses the simplest sentences to express herself, but this doesn't hinder her persuasiveness.
The manager didn't speak, but just looked at her with an increasingly serious expression.
After pondering for a moment, Martin didn't respond to her extraordinary remarks, but said: "Take a step and show me."
……
Letty took a few steps in the small space, the sound of heels hitting the floor echoed continuously, and Martin's eyes turned serious from the beginning, then became surprised in the middle, and turned solemn at the end.
He frowned motionlessly. Although Letty was very confident in her steps, Martin's expression made her not sure whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied?
- Dissatisfied?
Don't be silly, if this is not satisfactory, there are not many people in the fashion industry who can satisfy him!
The reason why Martin's expression is so serious is because he is thinking seriously.
He was thinking about what route this Latina girl would be suitable for.
The original idea was a commercial route. She has a unique face, which is a tool for making money.The difference between commercial models and HF models is that the main purpose of commercial models is to buy money for the brand. To put it bluntly, it is to increase sales. Therefore, catering to the taste of the public is the main job of commercial models.
Few people would dislike her face, as long as she was well packaged, she could become the most profitable female model.
But after seeing her steps, Martin changed his mind.
With such a step, it would be a waste of money not to go to HF!
Who said business and HF can't coexist?In his opinion, the most unique thing about this girl is that she has the conditions to survive in these two fields at the same time!Even Naomi couldn't do this!
It had to be said that he was indeed moved by this young girl's proposal.
When she said, "I'll mention Leticia López Oliveira first, and then Naomi Campbell," she doesn't mean she's going beyond the latter, she's going to be A more iconic presence than the latter one.
People think of her first because the public is more familiar with her and sees her more often.
Fame and power have never been linked.
Seriously, for the average citizen, do they know who the model is in the ad for the brand they frequent?rare.
So, what she really meant was that she wanted everyone to remember her face!
When Martin reached out to Moka, Leti knew that she had successfully aroused his interest.
"Five feet ten inches tall, weighing 110 pounds?" Martin opened it for a glance, then raised his eyebrows high, and his venomous tongue began to emerge, "Do you want to be a plus-size model?"
If an ordinary person heard these words, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood.
——This is also called plus size? ? ?
According to the standards of ordinary people, Letty is indeed very thin. Because of diet, the obesity rate in the United States is astonishingly high. 2% of adults have obesity problems, and Letty, who wears a size [-], is undoubtedly a thin person .
But I'm sorry, the fashion industry is so strict with the appearance management of models, with size 0 as the standard, size 2 reluctantly accepts it, and size 4——you are out!
Letty has long wanted to lose weight. She had never weighed more than a hundred pounds in her previous life, but she just didn't have the time.
She looked Martin in the eyes and said pleadingly, "I promise, I will lose more than ten pounds in a month."
"You don't have much time." Martin was unmoved. "Next January will be the Paris Haute Couture Spring/Summer Fashion Week."
Letty resisted the urge to roll her eyes: "Half a month."
Martin grinned in satisfaction.
Fashion week is a grand event in the fashion industry. The most famous fashion weeks in the world are New York, Paris, Milan and London, collectively known as the four major fashion weeks.There are two main fashion weeks a year, spring and summer and autumn and winter, and then divided into women's wear week and men's wear week.
The autumn and winter fashion week is held in February and March to release the autumn and winter series of fashion for this year, and the spring and summer fashion week is held in September and October to release the spring and summer series of fashion for the coming year.
In addition, Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week has also attracted much attention.The so-called haute couture is actually haute couture. It is not mass-produced because the cost is extremely high. It takes at least a thousand hours to complete a piece of clothing, and often requires thousands of sequins and embroidery, or it is all done by hand. Production, each piece is tailor-made, and its craftsmanship is the top level in the world, so a high-end piece can easily cost hundreds of thousands of euros, which is extremely luxurious.
Haute Couture Fashion Week is a stage for brands to showcase their strengths, and designers will produce works of the highest standard, which represent the highest state of fashion and have a high index significance in the fashion industry.
Only brands belonging to the Paris Haute Couture Union can participate in Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. There are only about [-] brands in total, and the threshold is so high that one can imagine.
Therefore, the attention of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week is not lower than that of ordinary fashion weeks.
Each brand usually begins to select models two months before the fashion week. Now it is mid-November. By the end of November, the brands participating in the high-end fashion week will have many interviews one after another. The models will Started to get busy.
Martin closed Letty's template. He had made up his mind.
She's right about the future of the fashion industry, she's got a clear vision, she sees far enough, and she hits the nail on the head.
She is also very clear about her positioning. She is very clear that she is not a natural HF material like Kate Moss, but she also has her advantage-a face that will be sought after by the public.
As long as consumers buy it, brands will buy it. The market has always changed with customer tastes.As long as the market likes her, no brand can refuse her.
This is an ambitious girl!
In the past few years, although Martin has not signed a contract with the model, he has been working as an agent, expanding his network, dealing with people in the industry, and introducing opportunities to other agents.
It's not that he doesn't want to sign, but that he can't.
Every model who wants to be his client says they want to be a supermodel like XXX, but there are already supermodels like XXX, there is no need for a second one.
Leticia Lopez is different. Her ambition is astounding. She wants to be a supermodel?Yes, and to be precise, a unique celebrity supermodel!
Under the gaze of the latter, his smile finally became a little more sincere and serious: "After the contract is drawn up, you come to sign the contract."
Letty's eyes flickered: "So, have we reached a consensus?"
The man stood up and stretched out his hand to her, and said cheerfully, "Happy cooperation, Miss Lopez."
"Pleasant cooperation, Mr. Lex."
Letty had a hunch that today would be a milestone day.
At this moment, as if knowing that they had just reached an agreement, Martin's cell phone rang in response to the situation. He originally planned to ignore the call, but after seeing the caller's name, he changed his mind instantly and pressed the answer button.
"Oh Granda, long time no see..."
Is it Glenda Bailey?She is looking for Martin?Letty pricked up her ears, trying to find out more.
After talking to the person on the other end of the phone, Martin hung up the phone and cast a somewhat unexpected look at Letty.
"Congratulations, you just got your first job." He announced the good news in a joyful voice, then paused again to whet Letty's appetite before continuing, "The American version of Harper's Bazaar It looks like Glenda Bailey likes you very much."
Then he glanced at the brunette's hairstyle and clothes, and Letty was sure she saw dislike in his eyes.
"Before you do that, you need an image makeover that takes away the rustic flavor of Miami."
Who wouldn't say such beautiful words?
But it would be even worse if she didn't speak. If you can't even think of your own advantages, how can you convince others?
