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

Gotham during the day is actually not that bad. This is a big city with a population of 600 million. It looks quite like New York. Only New York and the metropolis nearby can compete with it in terms of prosperity.

But after nightfall, this sinful city reveals its hideous side.

The shooting took longer than Letty had imagined. She originally thought it would be done at dusk, but she was dragged until [-] o'clock because she was running outside and stuck in traffic.

She bid farewell to the photography team without even taking off her makeup, hid her Dior bag in her coat, and left the studio as low-key as she could be dressed.

It's not too late now, there are still many passers-by who just got off work or went out to eat on the street, but it's a bit far from the city center, it's hard to get a taxi, she has to go a little further.

Letty walked while looking at the map she got from the hotel. The map showed that the side alley could reach the edge of the city center faster, but when she looked over, that alley had no lights, let alone people. , still looking like a gust of wind, she resolutely continued to walk on the street.

——Who would go in when they knew it was dangerous? !Isn't it like hanging a sign that says "Come and rob me" on her body when a woman enters a place where she can't even see anyone!How is this different from the logic in horror movies where a family moves into a new house and realizes that there is a problem with that house but insists on living here?If you see something wrong, of course leave immediately!

It's fine if you get robbed, but what if you get robbed?

As she walked, Letty felt something was wrong. From the rear view mirror of a car parked by the side of the road, she saw a man wearing a hood walking six or seven meters behind her, although it might just be She was suspicious, but the man looked too suspicious, so she quickened her pace.

After walking two intersections, the man still followed her, Letty's heart sank, isn't her luck so bad? !

She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, but no one answered the phone after it rang for almost half a minute. She said anxiously in her heart: "Pick it up quickly!"

Just when she was about to give up, the phone was finally picked up, and Letty said before the other party spoke: "Bruce, I'm sorry to bother you, are you free now?"

Bruce, who was not free but rather busy, didn't refuse because her voice sounded anxious, "What's wrong?"

"I just finished work and I'm going back to the hotel, but I feel like someone is chasing me... Could you pick me up if it's convenient?"

Bruce frowned and asked, "Where are you?"

"Jazz Street, there is a 7-11 nearby."

"You enter the 7-11 and wait, don't come out during this time."

Bruce was right, the 7-11 is safer than the outside, at least there are clerks waiting with her.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the 7-11, the man gave up and walked in another direction.

Relieved, Letty wandered around the convenience store, waiting for Bruce to come over.

There was only her and a clerk who was fishing in the store. About 10 minutes later, there was some movement at the door. Leti, who was standing between the shelves, saw several masked men rushing into the store. Kneel down and cover your mouth, but your heart is beating wildly, because they have guns!

"Put all the money in!"

One of the men raised his gun, and the clerk who was pointed at by the gun calmly took out all the money in the cash register, put it into the bag thrown by the robber, and directly emptied the last penny in the cash register For the money, he also "caringly" pulled up the chain of the bag for them.

Letty was stunned. The clerk's attitude was too calm. He seemed very experienced. How many times did he experience such things before he developed such an old-fashioned mentality? !

The robbers achieved their goal after asking for money. Leti hid between the shelves and did not dare to make a sound. Fortunately, they did not see her. Before leaving, one of the robbers took a bag from the shelf behind Letty. Potato Chips, his mate yelled, "What are you doing here? Those notes will be here soon!"

The man shrugged disapprovingly, "It's just a bag of potato chips, this brand is delicious."

Before the robbers walked out of the door, the 7-11 was dark in vain, and all the lights were extinguished. Everyone was shocked and looked around.

"What happened?"

"power cut?"

A black shadow fell from the sky, and someone shouted: "It's Batman!"

Several robbers fired reflexively, and sparks lit up in the darkness, but they failed to hit the shadow. His speed was unbelievably fast, and the bullet casings kept falling to the ground. Letty brushed past her, but she didn't dare to poke her head out to watch the play. This was simply courting death.

"Where did he go?!"

"Don't be scattered, stand together!"

There was panic in the robber's voice, and Letty didn't even dare to take a breath. At this moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder, and the pores of her whole body shrank at this moment, and she was about to scream reflexively. At that moment, a big hand covered her mouth, preventing her from making any sound.

She turned her head in horror, but met a pair of deep and indifferent blue eyes.

The man in the black bat suit seemed to be integrated into the darkness. If it wasn't for such a big living person squatting in front of his eyes, Letty wouldn't even be able to notice that there was someone behind him.

His palm was huge, covering half of her face tightly. He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were silent, and he put an index finger on his lips to signal her to keep quiet, and then he let go of the cover. The hand on her mouth pointed to the back door of the store and made several gestures.

—he told her to escape through the back door as soon as they started fighting.

It may be that these eyes have a calming power, letty nodded after regaining his composure, hesitated for a while, and said a word to him silently: "be careful."

Batman just glanced at her, turned and left without saying anything.

The man rushed out and quickly disarmed one of the robbers with his gun and broke his grip. The man let out a scream, and Batman kicked another robber away. The bandit was so powerful that the man knocked down an entire shelf, and passed out directly on top of the candies and chocolates that fell all over the floor.

Every time Batman punches, the muscles on his arms will bulge, with irresistible strength, his eyes are sharp, revealing a suffocating sense of oppression, the cloak is flying behind him, and his fists and feet are clean and neat. Dealing with the robbers, from his agility, it can be seen that even in a one-on-five he is more than capable.

... so handsome!

Letty hid behind the shelf and stared blankly. When she regained her senses, she remembered Batman's warning to her. While Batman was fighting with the robbers, she jumped out through the back door and hid far away.

When she turned around, the battle in 7-11 was over. Batman tied up several robbers and threw them in front of 7-11.

Whether it was Letty's illusion or not, Batman seemed to glance in her direction before getting into the Batmobile.

Batman drove away in that cool, friendless Batmobile, and just as he left, the police car arrived, and the policeman saw the robbers who were tied up, and cursed inwardly: "Damn it, Batman slipped away again! "

Although the situation just now was very dangerous, but fortunately Batman was there, Letty was not injured, not even a bruise, so the police decided not to arrange for her to go to the hospital for an examination, but because she and the clerk were important witnesses, it was necessary to Go back to the police station with them and make a simple statement.

Thinking that Bruce might still be on his way to pick her up, she was about to call Bruce to explain the situation when a low-key black Aston Martin pulled up in front of her, with the windows down, sitting in the driver's seat. A teenager she didn't know.

"You are……?"

The black-haired boy raised a smile: "My name is Dick Grayson, Bruce's adopted son. Are you Miss Lopez? Bruce asked me to come and pick you up. He has something to do and he can't leave."

Bruce never took the initiative to bring up his affairs, nor did he say that he had an adopted son, and Letty only learned about it from gossip magazines.

Although she knew that they had no blood relationship, Letty still sighed in her heart about the beauty of Wayne's family. This young man had delicate features, and his shallow smile had the magic power to contagious people's hearts. Although he was young, he made people feel at ease.

He must be popular at school, maybe a school girl, Letty thought.

And Dick, who just turned 16 after getting his driver's license, looked at the brunette with curious eyes.

Because she appeared in newspapers and magazines with her adoptive father too frequently, Dick naturally paid more attention to this popular supermodel.

She looked better in real life than in photos, Dick remarked inwardly.

Because he was injured on the way to the mission yesterday, Dick didn't go out with Batman tonight to patrol the night. He was doing backup in the Batcave when he received a call from Batman asking him to pick up someone. He was originally interested in it. Missing Dick immediately cheered up when he heard that it was Leticia Lopez. He was really interested in this model who was very close to Bruce.

Letty showed apologetic eyes, "I'm sorry, I let you go for nothing, I need to go to the police station now, you go back and I will explain to Bruce."

The boy just smiled, "I promised him that I will send you to the hotel safely, I can't break my promise, or he will be disappointed."

At Dick's insistence, Letty asked him to accompany her to the police station to take notes. It was already midnight when the hustle and bustle ended. Dick drove her back to the hotel, and Letty, who was already exhausted, fell asleep in the car without knowing it. caught.

Seeing Letty's head hang lower and lower, Dick thoughtfully turned off the music and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner a little.

When they arrived at the Wayne Hotel, she still didn't wake up. Dick looked at the brunette's sleeping face and thought she must be exhausted, so he didn't wake her up.

Dick thought Letty would wake up soon, but one hour passed, and two hours passed, but she didn't show any sign of waking up. She seemed to be falling asleep. Dick wanted to cry without tears. Could it be that she was going to sleep until morning?

Letty finally woke up around three o'clock in the morning. She was very embarrassed when she knew that she had fallen asleep in someone's car and had to wait for her to wake up. Delivered to the door of the room before leaving.

The impression that this young man left on Letty was able to score eleven points out of ten. It is really a blessing for Bruce to have such a sensible and obedient adopted son.

Maybe it was Dick who told Bruce that she had arrived at the hotel, because Letty got a call from him shortly after entering the door: "I heard you were robbed, sorry I couldn't come over in person."

"It's okay, Dick sent me back." Letty said, "I saw Batman."

Before Bruce could speak, she said enthusiastically: "I don't know if you have seen the real Batman, he has the strongest chest muscles and biceps I have ever seen, and he is so handsome when he fights those robbers! But his cape is really too long, I couldn't see the buttocks known as 'Gotham's No. [-]'..."

Bruce on the other end of the phone was silent for a long, long time before he said bluntly: "It's good that you're fine."

"But Batman's little follower Robin didn't show up this time, it's a pity."

"..."

If Letty knew she was saying such idiotic things to Batman himself, she would probably slam her head against a tree in shame.

……

The fact that Letty was involved in a robbery naturally failed to hide the truth from the reporters - Leticia Lopez was rescued by Batman?This news is sure to be a hit!As a result, she was blocked by a group of reporters at the hotel entrance the next day.

"Have you seen Batman?"

"I heard that Batman saved you, is this true?"

"What was the situation like?"

Letty made a downward gesture, and they fell silent, staring at her with twinkling eyes.

She briefly explained the situation at the time, and in the end she couldn't help but said: "Batman is really handsome! He took out those robbers in two or three strokes, just like in action movies, I was completely fascinated by him Charmed……"

Batman showing up and fighting criminals isn't something special to bring up because it happens every day unless it's a clown or a scarecrow, but it's different when Leticia Lopez is involved up.

Or to put it another way, Leticia Lopez getting mugged isn't something to make a lot of headlines about unless she's badly injured, but the whole thing becomes rich when the hero saves the beauty by Batman Newsworthy now.

"Inquirer": "Batman Hero Saves Beauty! Supermodel Shows Love To Him?"

The Star: "Leticia Lopez: 'Batman saved me!'"

"New York Sun": "Is Leticia Lopez's male god?!"

Gossip magazines and tabloids covered the story overwhelmingly, drawing attention to Letty's encounter with the robbery and Batman, who everyone now knew was her new heroine.

Since then, one more title has been added to Letty's many titles - Batman's chief fan girl.

This was the first time Letty showed affection to a man in public, and her fans didn't react very strongly, because it was impossible for her and Batman to be together, and he was still a legendary figure, just like Like Superman, it's okay to express your admiration for him, right?

However, some haters of Batman also expressed "very disappointed" and claimed that they wanted to lose their fans, but there were only a few of them, so there was no trouble.

In this regard, the most dissatisfied person is a certain tin can.

Tony, who knew that Letty was in distress in Gotham, called on purpose. She thought this person was here to care if she was injured, but he started bragging after caring: "How handsome is the robber? If I'm here, and I don't even need to move a finger, the homing bullets will automatically knock them down!"

Letty didn't take it seriously, and continued to brag about Batman's rainbow fart: "But he just defeated them with his bare hands! No need for any weapons!"

Tony said disdainfully: "You don't understand, why use fists when enemies who can be dealt with with mouths? High technology will sooner or later eliminate those big bats who are wearing capes and hooks and scurrying between the roofs."

"..."

……

"Happy birthday, dear." Donatella kissed the brunette on the cheek and invited her to sit down with Martin.

"Thank you, it's a great feeling to step into the [-] prefix, and one step closer to my legal drinking age." Letty said half-jokingly, making the atmosphere lighter.

"It's nice to be young," Donatella exclaims.

She brought her assistant, Letty brought Martin, and they were evenly matched in numbers.

Although the negotiation does not rely on the number of people, the number of people can indeed play a role. If Donatella faces Letty and Martin by herself, she will bear double the pressure.

The relationship between her and Letty is indeed good, and she also knows how smart this girl is, not to mention her agent, the famous old fox in the fashion industry, who used to be Naomi Campbell's agent I don't know how many people were cheated.

Donatella knew that she was not a good negotiator, so she deliberately brought her assistant along, at least to give her some cover under the double offensive of Letty and Martin.

Donatella first cared about what Letty encountered in Gotham, and delayed until the food was served, so that the atmosphere was almost simmering before entering the topic of tonight.

The chief designer of Versace looked at Letty and said in a heavy tone: "I think you are also aware of Versace's current situation, and I will not hide it from you. Although the financial situation is gradually improving, we are still in the red."

Her hint is obvious enough, she can't give Letty too much endorsement fee, because Versace is also very poor now.

The company's sales performance has never risen since 1998, and has continued to decline in the 21st century. Since 2001, there has been no profit.Gianni's death seems to have taken away Versace's good luck. Not only did the company's listing plan fail, but the successive crises of the Great Depression, September [-] terrorist attacks, SARS and the Iraq War made Versace only struggling. .

At that time, the entire fashion industry also underwent tremendous changes. Large groups such as LVMH and PPR began to scramble to acquire large and small luxury brands from the beginning of 2000. Gucci was acquired by PPR, FENDI fell into the hands of LVMH, and Valentino was taken over by Marzotto Group... It can be seen that capital operation and professional manager management are replacing the traditional and common family management.

Versace is just an example of a family-run business. All the shares are in the hands of the Versace family. It’s not that Donatella doesn’t want to go public. In the face of the company's huge debts, almost no one is willing to pay the bill to enter the company and become a minority shareholder.

Tom Ford had intended to join, but the condition he put forward was that Donatella would give up the position of chief designer, but she flatly refused.

The expressions of Letty and Martin didn't change much. They never regarded Versace as a gold mining machine. If they wanted to make money, they would have endorsed Maybelline or signed a contract with Victoria's Secret. I believe they are willing to give She offers an annual salary of more than one million yuan.

What only Versace can give Letty and neither Maybelline nor Victoria's Secret can give her is status.

You are one of the eight red bloods. Although it has been in decline for several years, Versace's status in the fashion industry is one of the best. To put it simply, it is high-end.

In the past few months, Versace has shown some signs of recovery. After all, it was a blue-blooded brand, and it still has some heritage. A thin camel is stronger than a horse. Versace still has great potential. Just give Donatella some Time, maybe Versace will be able to revive it.

Furthermore, Mark did not renew her contract with Letty, which meant that she lost a blue blood endorsement, and they could no longer lose Versace. A global endorsement opportunity for a red blood brand is very rare, except for LV, only Versace and Letty It takes a lot of time to establish such a relationship with another red blood brand, and who can guarantee that those eccentric HF designers will love her?

She wants to compete in the MDC rankings, and Versace's global endorsement is a crucial step. If possible, she wants to win the Best Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards.

Letty first expressed his affection to her: "We understand, and as your friend, I hope to be able to go through this difficult period with you."

Donatella's face softened a little. Unexpectedly, their stance was milder than expected, "I would like to sign a one-year global endorsement contract with you for an endorsement fee of 130 million."

130 million is not a small number, but whether it is big or small depends on the target - the global spokesperson is the highest level of cooperation, and Versace is a luxury brand, and this number really loses their identity.

Of course, Donatella's quotation is definitely not her bottom line, she just wants to test them.

"As far as I know, none of the global spokespersons of Valentino, Givenchy, YSL and other brands has an annual salary of less than 200 million. 'Versace can't even give 200 million to the global spokesperson'? You and I both know that this will affect the brand. What kind of impact will it have on reputation?" Martin said quite dissatisfied, "The difference between 130 million and 200 million is only 70, but to the outside world, it is the difference between 'first prefix' and 'two prefix'."

Martin's attitude is not very firm, which shows that there is still room for negotiation. Letty is now Donatella's muse, but it is hard to guarantee whether Donatella will find the next one after she leaves Versace. "Medusa", so don't take yourself too seriously.

She needs Versace, and they can't make that too obvious, or they become their own weakness.

Donatella is an excellent designer, but not a shrewd manager. She grew up under the blessing of her brother Gianni and was the little princess of the Versace family. Before Gianni's death, she was his brother's inspiration. Si is also the jewelry designer of Versace, and in the late 80s, he was responsible for the design of Versus, a subsidiary product for young people, and children's clothing series.

Until Gianni was assassinated, Donatella had never served as the banner of Versace, and lost her brother's protection, she could only grit her teeth and support the entire family business on her own.

This burden was too heavy, so she hired professional manager Giancarlo Di Lisso to lead the company from a family business to a modern management enterprise.

Donatella frowned, "'No more than 70'? Versace is seriously in debt, and every expenditure must be very cautious. This 70 is enough for me to hire two mainline spokespersons!"

Martin pretended to be in thought for a moment, then lowered his voice, and threw out a lure: "Well, we are willing to reduce the salary to 100 million, but relatively, we hope that the contract period can be extended to two years, and we will add more money to the contract. The previous condition."

Donatella didn't ask what it was, she knew that Martin would go on, and her curiosity had already been aroused--reducing from 200 million to 100 million is not a small change, which is equivalent to halving, a year It is 100 million, and it will be 200 million in two years. So what conditions are enough to make them willing to make such a sacrifice?
