[US Entertainment] Actress

"Anna, I understand what you mean." Noy said, "Our goal is very consistent, which is to make the best effect on the magazine cover, isn't it?"

When shooting the cover of a magazine, especially a magazine with a high status in the industry such as "vogue", the editor-in-chief decides on the matching of clothing, background selection and color harmony, and the cover character does not have the right to choose independently. Of course, if If the cover character is famous to a certain extent, she can also provide her own opinions, and the editor-in-chief has to give in in many cases.Noye appeared on the cover of "Vogue" as a newcomer before, all because of Kate White's full support, but Anna Wintour's toughness is well-known in the industry, and Noye is very clear that Kate White has given her Freedom is impossible for Anna Wintour.

Anna Wintour chose a &gabbana mermaid skirt for her, with a circle of spiral blue stars embroidered on the waist of the skirt and a necklace inlaid with blue gemstones, which immediately outlined Neue's graceful waistline.And Anna Wintour obviously also noticed the disadvantage of Noy's small chest. The skirt is slightly open at the chest, but it shows a faint curve. It is just a change in the details, but it makes Noy's charm a hundredfold. This has to make Noy admire the unique taste of this fashion female editor.

The theme of this magazine is the rhyme of early winter, and the cover was shot in a studio, and was shot by Albert Watson, the long-time queen photographer of "vogue".This photographer is a master at using color and light. In his hands, those ordinary scenes can often become lively because of the strong color contrast. Just like at this moment, no matter what pose Noy poses, the photographer always Not very satisfied, he rubbed his slightly white hair anxiously, and said in a tangled way: "It's almost like..."

Albert Watson was born blind in one eye. Perhaps God is always fair to people. Although he has only one visible eye, he sees more beautiful pictures than others with these eyes.The magazine covers shot by this great photographer have appeared on the covers of "Vogue" 250 times. It can be said that he has witnessed the development history of "Vogue" for nearly half a century, and he has also brought countless great sales to "Vogue" .

Noy smoothed her hair, pursed her lips into a straight line, and when the lights came down, a light shadow appeared on her side face, which invisibly made her feel a little sad.

Albert Watson's eyes lit up, and he waved to Anna Wintour: "Can her hairstyle be changed a little?"

Anna Wintour looked at her old partner: "What type of change?"

"I can't describe it at the moment." Albert Watson explained, "Anna, I have a new inspiration, and that inspiration makes me very excited. I still can't be sure what the final picture will be like, but I Guaranteed, it's definitely a beautiful idea, as long as you do what I say."

Anna Wintour looked at him for a while, but finally had no choice but to agree.As the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, Anna naturally has a sense of fashion that ordinary people can't match, although in the eyes of outsiders, her success is more due to the advertising revenue she brought to "Vogue".Albert Watson's shooting angles tend to be more artistic, which is why he and Anna, who is the editor-in-chief, always have some conflicts, but the strange thing is that the photos that Albert Watson insists on can often give The magazine brought higher sales and recognition, and even the covers that were considered classics since she became the editor-in-chief were all written by Albert Watson.

Anna Wintour can only feel that art and fashion are inseparable.

Noy's hairstyle has changed from being scrupulously tied high to loose and slightly curly brown hair hanging by her ears, and she also applied an extra layer of blush on her cheeks. This change seems careless, but it is Nuoyi's age has been reduced by a few years, and Nuoyi's cheeks are already small. I am afraid that some people will believe that she is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Just as I thought." Albert Watson picked up the camera and snapped a few shots at Noy.In order to meet the occasion, the magazine specially placed exquisite porcelain utensils in Nuo Yi's hands. She held a pink porcelain cup in her hand, and the black tea in the cup was filled with smoke, making Nu Yi's whole body blurred.

Albert Watson thinks this is very good, he likes the appearance of Noy sitting there demurely showing his pink cheeks, which makes him look like those girls sitting alone in front of the window in literature and songs, this is The picture is so soft that it seems to have traveled through time.

He picked out one of them and showed it to Anna Wintour: "Anna, I think maybe we don't need to go on location."

In the picture, Noy is leaning lonely by the window, looking at the scenery under the window. A lonely bird is parked on an old tree. Although there are still green plants in October, it is not as good as spring and summer after all. Lush, but listless as if without much energy.This is not an exterior scene specially shot by the magazine, but it coincides with the theme set by Anna Wintour, and even the picture effect is a bit better than Anna Wintour expected.

She pondered for a moment, then made a decision: "Just do as you say."

Albert Watson took a few more shots of Noy sitting alone. Noy ​​didn't deliberately pose, she just sat naturally, but the effect was better.

"Okay, the filming is over."

Albert Watson puts away the camera: "This is the easiest set of pictures I have taken in a year, but the effect is not bad."

"Albert, what you consider is the effect, but I also need to consider the acceptance of the audience and the satisfaction of the advertisers." Anna Wintour complained.

Albert Watson narrowed his eyes and showed a sly smile: "Stop teasing me, Anna, I am several years older than you. If you are not satisfied, according to your personality, you have already reinvented the wheel. Should I keep shooting?"

Anna Wintour smiled gracefully: "Yes, Albert, I am very satisfied, and I also believe that the sales of this issue of the magazine will meet my expectations."

The shooting time only took more than two hours, but including the time for makeup and retouching, it was already twelve noon when the cover was actually shot.Anna Wintour invited Noye to lunch in the small restaurant on the top floor of the Vogue office.There are specially hired chefs to solve the lunch problems of fashion editors, of course, including stars who eat there occasionally, because of this, the lunch has reached the pinnacle in terms of taste and nutrition.

In any case, fashion is a tall thing. In addition to beautiful faces and clothing, women have to learn to exude elegance all the time.

Dining with Anna Wintour is of course a very pleasant thing. This fashion editor nicknamed "Devil" is talkative and funny, with a very high vision and words, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze, without any rumors from the outside world so sharp.Of course, this does not mean that Noy agrees with some of the lady's words. She is very clear that this meal can only be regarded as a business matter, and it does not mean that she has formed a friendship with Ms. Anna Wintour.

The most important thing is that Noy is not a person who is harsh on herself in terms of appetite. She is more used to going to the gym to exercise vigorously after a full meal, rather than keeping herself hungry and even suffering from anorexia.

"Did you enjoy your lunch?" Martin asked Noy on the way back.

Noy nodded: "Of course I'm very happy. To be honest, the food in the restaurant above Vogue is really good, but..."

"The portion is a bit small?" Martin shook his head with a smile, "Noy, do you know that you are a big eater, among the female stars I have come into contact with, you are the most edible. Everyone else is strictly controlling Your own fat intake is only as much as you eat, and you don’t worry about becoming a fat man.”

"First of all, I'm not fat-prone." Noy raised a finger, "If I eat too little, my stomach will feel uncomfortable. If I feel uncomfortable, I will be haggard. If I'm haggard, I won't have the heart to work...so I would rather be in the gym every day. If I stay for two or three hours, I don't want to miss a meal."

Noy thinks so, but in the entertainment industry, there are still too few female stars who hold the same idea as her.In her previous life, Xiao Huadan, who was on the same production team as her, once dipped cotton balls in orange juice and swallowed them for a diet. The bulging cotton balls would make people feel full, so people would naturally not feel hungry.Some people exaggerately swallow parasites such as roundworms to consume energy in the body. It can be said that in order to become beautiful and thin, actresses in the entertainment circle use almost everything.

"I can't say no to you." Martin laughed, "But I think, if you really want to lose weight to that extent, it's better for you to be like this."

"Yeah." Noy nodded, "And am I fat? Martin, do you think I'm fat?"

Receiving the threat hidden in Noy's words, Martin quickly shook his head: "Of course not, Noy, on the contrary, you are very thin, you are really thin."

Noy nodded with satisfaction: "Martin, you have great vision."

"It's almost the end of the year, since I'm so discerning, how about giving me a bonus?"

Noy pretended to think: "Of course, how about $200, I think this is enough to match your contribution, Mr. Martin."

"Then tomorrow the news will definitely reveal that rising star Noy Linton and agent Easter Martin have parted ways. The reason is—Noy Linton, who is expected to earn $1000 million this year, is so stingy that he only gave her Poor manager's $200 year-end bonus." Martin clutched his chest and made a painful expression: "Noy, I didn't come here to suffer with you, I want to be popular, drink hot, and be able to chase girls."

According to Martin's 15% commission rate, if Noye earns 1000 million U.S. dollars this year, Martin can get 150 million U.S. dollars in commission. Of course, this is only before tax. Fragments and The Drug Network, where Martin only earns around $[-], this year has been much better.

The bulk of Noye’s income this year comes from the $450 million salary of Gangs of New York, plus the salary of “Legal Blonde” at the beginning of the year and the total income of $80 from Michael Kors signing and breaking the contract. In fact, these items add up to only 600 million US dollars, but with the miscellaneous income and the Dior endorsement at the end of the year, Noye's annual income should be enough to break through 1000 million US dollars.

In just over a year, Noy's income has climbed to the 1000 million mark. Although this is only half of the salary of the popular Julia Roberts, Noy, who has not completely shaken off the rookie hat, can rise so quickly, but has already Far beyond her expectations.

"There is another income." Seeing Noy's eyes beaming with joy, Martin couldn't help reminding, "National Enquirer."

Noye nodded at him, showing a strange smile. She forgot that no one should forget the amiable "National Enquirer" and dear editor Mr. Johansson Carter. After Helen McCarthy's lies were exposed, Noye Yi brought the "National Enquirer" and Helen McCarthy to court for defamation. She specially hired the most professional team of lawyers to complete the lawsuit for her. Even if the court ruled that the "National Enquirer" was not guilty, In this event, Noye is also good enough to be invincible.

Of course, an increase in income also means an increase in expenses.

After the defamation incident, Noy promptly contacted Martin and hired several professional public relations professionals to solve public relations problems for Noy. She also cooperated with a professional Hollywood public relations company to reshape Noy's image externally. The cost of this item is expensive.Hiring a lawyer this time can also be said to be a long-term investment. In addition to legal counsel, Noy also cooperated with a commercial lawyer to interpret the contracts she received, and Noy believes that as her income increases , she will inevitably go to the road of investment, and it is also very necessary to have a lawyer to help interpret the business documents.

In addition, professional makeup artist team, photography team...these are places that need to spend money, and Noy will not skimp on this aspect.So even though Noy's income this year was quite a lot, in real terms, what she got was actually less than half of what was estimated.

Noy still has a plan to buy a house in the future. Roughly speaking, her income and expenditure this year probably just match.Although celebrity is a profitable industry, it is also a money-burning industry. Now that she has gained a certain popularity, Noy is not as anxious as she was when she first came to Los Angeles. As long as her influence is still there, she will not worry about making money. to money.

After filming "Gangs of New York", Noye's net worth has increased slightly. Recently, the offer for a film that invited her to participate in the filming has reached about 800 million. There was even a quote of 1000 million for a chick comedy—— Of course, this is not only because of the strong box office of "Legal Affairs", but also the strong appeal that Noye demonstrated in the "National Enquirer" defamation incident.

There are many offers for movies, but she still can't help but worry about choosing movies. After the 911/[-] incident, the film companies were much more cautious about shooting movies. Except for the chick movies similar to "Legal Affairs", they were literary films that praised peace, but most of these films had no names in their previous lives. I have never heard of them. The few films whose names I have heard of are basically bad movies that are well-known far and near.

Their only advantage is that the prices are really high.

"Oh, I have a headache!" Noy patted himself on the forehead and sank into the quilt suddenly.
