Mr. Butler on the catwalk

"Welcome to America."

Sentences like these can be heard occasionally on the radio on the side of the Newark terminal.Luo Lin's plane landed safely, and he and Zhang Yishan walked out slowly from the exit of Terminal B into the cold wind of New Jersey.

Although the 14-hour voyage made Luo Lin's long legs miserable, but Luo Lin still felt a little curious when he set foot on the Star-Spangled Banner for the first time.Zhang Yishan put on a pair of Rayban aviator gradient glasses with great style, and led Luo Lin to New York, the Empire State, by car.

Different from the mood when he went to Thailand last time, Luo Lin's mood now is more nervous than expected.And although Zhang Yishan said that he usually looked unreliable, after getting off the plane, he put on a lazy expression and made a few calls in English, as if he was busy contacting the organizer of LGM.

Not long after, Zhang Yishan put down his phone and leaned towards Luo Lin from the front seat: "Xiao Luoluo, we are going directly to the meeting point of the training camp, which is in Times Square. According to the organizer's intention, there is no need to buffer you. Just let you stay in."

Luo Lin nodded, said he understood, and then realized that his heart beat a little faster.He turned his head and could see the clear city skyline in the distance—that's where New York was.As dusk gradually rises, the bridge and buildings in the distance turn into dark shadows little by little.In the quiet car, Luo Lin heard an unfamiliar song on the radio, singing softly in English: I don't know where I should go, and everyone who knows me says I am too easy to forgive.

But I got so much space, I even got a whole new world, no need to hide anymore.

Yeah I'm used to showing people all the good things I have.

……

It was already evening when we arrived in Manhattan—actually it was only six o'clock, but it was already dark.The electronic screens in Times Square fill the place with an absolute urban atmosphere: Nasdaq's semi-cylindrical advertisement occupies the most conspicuous position, and the Rubik's cube-shaped irregular screen reads that Broadway will soon perform "The Phantom of the Opera". ” and “Hairspray” musicals.Not only that, chocolate giant Hershey's placed a huge flower basket full of chocolates at the entrance of its flagship store, while a row of life-size superhero models stood in front of the entrance of R Us.

Luo Lin got out of the car, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but raise his head.The neon light reflected on his face, making his silhouette look a bit unreal.Zhang Yishan finally took off his useless sunglasses, saw the happy look on Luo Lin's face, and began to smile too.

When Luo Lin had seen enough, Zhang Yishan yelled at Luo Lin: "Let's get down to business first, and when the training camp is over, I'll take you to watch it slowly."

Luo Lin responded, came back to his senses, and followed Zhang Yishan's footsteps to the assembly point.

...The meeting point was not inside any building, but on the side of the road, and a staff member held up a simple LGM sign.If it weren't for the cameramen and equipment around him, Zhang Yishan wouldn't want to go over there - he almost began to wonder, how could such simple conditions be worthy of the title of LGM?

However, although Zhang Yishan disliked the crude hardware, he still approached that brand.The staff member carrying the sign covered himself tightly with a scarf and hat, as if he could not speak English yet, he gestured to Luo Lin for a long time, and then he confirmed that both of them were related personnel of the training camp.Luo Lin and the others seemed to have come earlier, and there was only one European and American with an expressionless face standing next to them, which seemed to be the same.

Zhang Yishan stared at the tall man for a long time, and then said to Luo Lin: "Here, that man is Bottwey, a Finn. Tsk, it seems that he became famous from TV commercials, and he was the European endorsement of Nokia. ...Why is the real person so tall, I rely on him..."

As if he had heard the discussion about him, Bodewei at the side turned his head and made a threatening expression towards Luo Lin and the others.Zhang Yishan suddenly shrank with guilt, and didn't dare to say a word.

... Time passed by every minute and every second, and soon new members joined them.

The first person to come was a young European man with a ponytail and glasses, with a thick book under his arm, and he stayed aside to read quietly after signing in.Zhang Yishan rolled his eyes at the man, and explained to Luo Lin: "This is Aestis, a Greek, and a Ph.D. in physics from Princeton. I really can't stand this kind of person. He just does scientific research and wants to be a hair model... "

Then a handsome fellow in black and shiny came across the road toward them.The young man seemed very happy, and when he saw Luo Lin, he showed a row of white teeth, so Luo Lin nodded embarrassingly.Zhang Yishan began to comment again: "Luke Hynes, French and South African, it is said that his father is a famous sailor... Did you see that he ran a red light just now? It's so dark that he will become the background on the street, beware of being hit by a car die……"

The people who came next gathered together.Zhang Yishan explained one by one. Although Luo Lin was not used to those foreign names, he still remembered everyone's background with his memory honed over the years.

Sean is the smiling American with stubble; Sasha is the silver-haired Russian in a silk shirt in cold weather; Colin is an Englishman in a plaid suit and waistcoat tie; the perfume is the strongest The gentleman here is Pierre from France; the one with the jug on his waist and singing to the street alone is Sistakovich, a Ukrainian...

Luo Lin looked at those people one by one, and suddenly felt a sense of excitement.He could personally feel the powerful and conspicuous presence of this group of people with very different styles.Whether conservative, lazy, unrestrained, or proud—their existence is very dazzling.

Realizing this, Luo Lin put away his onlooker mentality, lowered his eyes, and took a deep breath.

It was almost time for assembly, and many men with outstanding looks had already gathered around the LGM sign.This group of models with an average height of more than 186cm made passers-by stop one after another, took out their cameras and mobile phones and started taking pictures.It can be seen that this group of people has already been familiar with the camera. Although the movements have not changed much, every seemingly inadvertent sideways head and hand raise gives the best angle.

Luo Lin stood in the middle of the crowd, with a gentle expression and a slight smile.He memorized all the poses for taking pictures, hoping to use them himself in the future.

Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers on the street began to commotion.A Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped on the side of the street. A man who looked like a bodyguard walked out of the front seat, walked to the back seat and opened the door with a look of rage.

Luo Lin followed the voice and looked in that direction, and the other models did the same.The car door opened, and a black-haired young man stepped out—with a typical Sicilian style between his eyebrows and eyes. The silver-gray striped suit and dark purple shirt he was wearing also looked like they were made by famous masters.

Beside Luo Lin, Zhang Yishan snorted disdainfully: "That Fario, Italian. It is said that his father is a mafia...Enough, for being so ostentatious, the cop should shoot him down..."

Luo Lin was a bit dumbfounded at Zhang Yishan's comment, but then Zhang Yishan elbowed him, and then pointed in the opposite direction to Nafario: "You don't need to look at the black second-generation rich second-generation, Let's not compete with him...here, your main opponent, there is one...yes, that's the one."

——In the direction Zhang Yishan pointed, a black-haired young man with a large travel bag walked slowly.There was no expression on his face, he just walked silently through the center of the commotion caused by Nafario, and approached the LGM sign.

Although the man had dark eyebrows, he could still tell his Asian blood from his face.

Zhang Yishan's eyes narrowed, and he tightened Luo Lin's sleeves: "This is the guy... Aikawa Masayuki, Japanese, and the only one who has Asian blood like you. He is Italian-Japanese, and his style is very similar to yours... …In the training camp, you will inevitably be compared with him, so you must win this son of a bitch... Hey, did that guy just stare at me? I rely on his mother..."

Ai Chuan Zhengxing walked past Luo Lin, his eyes stayed on Luo Lin for a moment, and then he frowned at Zhang Yishan.

Zhang Yishan was so enraged by the contemptuous eyes that he was about to jump up and beat him up.Luo Lin pulled him from behind, at least to stop Zhang Yishan from fighting.At the same time, he also firmly remembered the name of this Japanese man.

……

seven o 'clock.

Six powerful spotlights were turned on, focusing on that simple LGM sign.The models stopped what they were doing, silently retreated to the edge of the light, and looked towards the center of the light.

The cameraman is in place.

The clumsy staff member who had been holding the sign looked around and slowly raised his hand.He took off the ugly scarf, hat, and gloves, and then took off the bear-like coat.

Luo Lin's eyes widened slightly.He knew this man—this was his interviewer.

The handsome black man adjusted his collar and smiled at the male models whose expressions suddenly became serious: "Welcome to LGM, future supermodels."

Loud applause.

Luo Lin could feel the beating of his heart along with the applause.The man who was speaking must have some kind of magical charm, which can make everyone flock to him.

That person is the most famous male supermodel in modern times, Heath Brown.

The man turned his head and smiled: "It seems that you are not very excited to see me, is that so?"

Accompanied by louder applause, there are whistling whistles and roars.

The man nodded in satisfaction: "That's good, it's not a cold reception after all. Forgive me for appearing in this way, but occasionally I want to quietly observe my young colleagues. Well, boys, I am your training camp The host, Sith Brown. Now it's time for the game to start, are you ready?"

Luo Lin let go of his voice, and shouted out the determined "Yes."

Sith nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "I am really touched by your determination. Next, let us welcome - the strongest mentor in the modeling industry, the top instructors of the LGM training camp - Mr. Luo Han and Mr. Gordon !"

There was thunderous applause.

——From the shadow behind the spotlight, two men who were not young stepped out.They may be more than 50 years old, but they still look outstanding.The thinner and taller man had a calm face, and his gray hair was brushed back.Although the wrinkles on his face were showing signs, the figure under the long black trench coat was no different from the young models present.The shorter man was wearing a thick military-style jacket and a woolen hat, with a childish and happy expression on his face.

Zhang Yishan whispered to Luo Lin, but there was no more teasing in his tone: "The taller one is Gordon, and the shorter one is Luohan...they are, Gaycouple."

Luo Lin responded without taking his eyes off the two of them.

Gordon didn't seem to like talking too much, so Luo Han made the opening statement by himself.Americans don't like lengthy speeches, and after a couple of words of encouragement, they get right to the point.

Luo Han straightened his woolen hat, and said in a good mood: "You all know that LGM is different from ordinary drafts, so we won't use the elimination system. But this year we will introduce the combination of reality show and documentary for the first time. Record your performance into a complete program and broadcast it on TV and the Internet. Compared with the previous phased training, your training this time will be divided into different tasks, and according to the completion of each task, you will get corresponding rewards Scores from the judges. After six weeks, you will accept votes from the audience, and the votes you get will be converted into scores, which will be added to the final judges’ scores to form the final score. We have always given five all-award selections, but this time, the selection The number of places will be reduced to three. And these places will be selected entirely based on the final results—this means that your future will not only be determined by us, but also controlled by the audience. Did you hear clearly?"

The models nodded and responded with "yes" and "understood".

Luo Han then clapped his hands: "Okay, models, now get on the bus that is ready next to you, and the accompanying staff are also together, we still have important things to do next—yes, Nafario, you You have to take the bus with your seven entourage too, don't put on that face - ok, fast!"

Zhang Yishan took a deep breath, and pulled Luo Lin towards the car door.Sith whispered something in Luo Han's ear by the car door, Luo Lin could clearly see Luo Han frowning.

Then Rohan put his hands around his mouth, forming a trumpet shape, and shouted to the models: "Rivers Black? Is Rivers Black here? If you are here, please raise your hand, boy!"

No one responded.Luo Han shook his head helplessly: "This is too bad. One of our models is late... Sith, what do you think we should do?"

Sith looked at his watch: "Wait another 5 minutes. Punctuality is the standard that a model should have, and he must bear the consequences."

Luo Han nodded and got into the car with the campers.

……

In the car, Luo Lin sat in the first row on the right, while Zhang Yishan sat in the back of the car with other escorts.There was some fog on the car window, Luo Lin stretched out his hand, and wiped a transparent mark on the window with his fingertips.

Looking out of this small window, it seems that something can be seen speeding towards the bus——

Heavy motorcycle?

The sound of the engine was approaching, and the heavy noise was definitely the motorcycle.The motorcycle came completely in the opposite direction, opening up a frightening road in Times Square where the speed is slow and the traffic is dense.

100 meters, 50 meters, the motorcycle suddenly turned sideways in front of the bus, dragging a trail.After an extremely dangerous brake, the driver put the motorcycle aside, took off his gloves, clenched his hands into fists, and smashed the door of the bus.

"Open-door-hey can you hear me, open-door-"

The driver reluctantly opened the door.The rider jumped up the steps, took off his helmet—

It was a very young boy. The moment he raised his hand, his uncombed long hair was exposed from the helmet, and a golden trace was drawn in front of Luo Lin.Because he was very close to this person, Luo Lin could clearly see that the boy's eyes were very light amber, which matched his blond hair very well.However, his appearance was extremely handsome, but his actions were rough and unruly.

The boy spread his hands to everyone in the car: "You know what? I just threw off the notice three blocks away. If they caught me, I would have to pay 200 tickets-if I give the police the middle finger If you get a ticket, maybe there will be more... Please, what kind of face do you all have? Don't you welcome me, the last little angel who came?"

There was silence.Luke, a South African, laughed happily after a while, and said loudly, "Welcome!"...which made the scene even more embarrassing.

Rohan could only stand up and wave his hand to the boy: "Rivers Black, is it you? Well, I welcome you on behalf of the whole car... Now you should really sit down. We are going to A place to stay, dear."

Rivers pouted, and simply sat down beside Luo Lin.

...Luo Lin had acquired a lot of knowledge before the trip, at least watched all the model talent shows in North America.However, most talent shows are mostly women, so the show is also full of all kinds of exclamations, screams... and noises.However, on this bus, the overall atmosphere was serious and quiet. Some men were talking in low voices, while others took out their blindfolds and took a short sleep on the bus.

The only exception was Rivers next to Luo Lin.

...he was so good at talking.

Luo Lin's listening skills were already above the standard after training, but he really couldn't tell the meaning of Rivers' words.He wasn't even sure if Rivers was talking to him, or if it was just talking to himself?Luo Lin felt helpless and gave up the idea of ​​answering.He listened to Rivers' sentences without pause, but gradually became sleepy and fell asleep little by little.

When the car braked harder and Luo Lin's forehead hit the window, he regained consciousness.He wiped it on his face and looked out the window—it was a very large single-family house.

Luo Lin felt a little excited. It seemed that this was where their base camp would be.He unconsciously looked at Rivers beside him, only to find that the other party was staring at him angrily.

Luo Lin felt a little guilty.Is he angry because he failed to listen carefully to Rivers' speech?However, Luo Lin really didn't know what Rivers was talking about.Luo Lin was about to apologize to the boy and then explain, but the boy snorted obviously and turned his head to the outside.

...I'm making a fuss...

Luo Lin smiled helplessly, thinking of trying to redeem it later.He always respected those who talked to him, but the long flight and exhaustion also made him feel extremely tired.Who would have thought that an occasional distraction would annoy such a child.

This is indeed the house they will live in in the future, and the models also got off the car here.Led by Sith, they walked into this expensive property with a market value of 300 million US dollars.

Modern decoration, three-story high-rise building, and a single-family house in a great location-how rare is it?The men walked into the room, even though they were not people who had never seen the world, they still couldn't stop admiring.

Luo Han stood in the middle of the living room on the ground floor, holding a suede cloth bag, smiling happily.After everyone quieted down, he finally opened his mouth: "During the next training, this house will be the home of the models - that's right, Nafario, your entourage and other accompanying personnel will live in it." Elsewhere, that's right - there are many rooms of different styles and sizes in this house, there are deluxe triple rooms, quadruple bedrooms, and single bedrooms. However, each room is equipped differently - so now, I need you to draw lots for your room. You will stay in that room for two full weeks, and after two weeks, the new room will be reassigned by your grades. See what I mean?"

"Okay." "That's right!" "Anyone want to be my roommate?" "I want to sleep in the den..." "Which room has the biggest bed?"

Luo Han smiled and stopped these discussions: "Stop talking so much, except for a few people, your room will be decided by lottery - where is Alfred Manson? Ha, young man, come out .”

A conspicuous man stepped out from the crowd.The man was smiling all the time. His short brown hair and warm eyes made it hard not to be attracted to him. Only a pair of thick sword eyebrows made people feel a little out of place.However, this little flaw doesn't count. His physique and temperament both vaguely have the demeanor of a supermodel.

Luo Han introduced this man to everyone: "The one you saw is Alfred Manson, the model with the highest total score in this LGMcamp primary election. Because of his excellence, he will win the top floor that spans half a Large room for three on the first floor. Now, Alfred, you can choose two roommates."

Alfred was not very shy, but smiled heartily. Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the two other men: "I choose Raul and Adechico. I am in the car Chatting with them on the Internet is very speculative...they will be my good brothers."

Luo Lin watched the three of them hug each other, and each stood aside with their own luggage.Then it was time for them to draw lots - Luo Lin walked up to Luo Han and took out a note.

After the lottery, there were mixed reactions everywhere.

Someone is yelling: "Why am I in a single dorm? God it's so lonely, I need someone to wake me up in the morning!"

There were also people whispering: "Dormitory for four... Is there really no such option as a study?...It's so sad..."

And Colin, an Englishman in a plaid suit, had a broken expression: "The two on the second floor! People! Bedroom! Room! I'm a homophobic person! God, don't let me be with this group of homosexuals. Living with someone else, I'm already getting a rash!"

A man who looked like a fox stepped forward and patted Colin on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm your roommate...but I'm not gay, don't worry."

Colin was about to cry: "No, don't lie to me! How can you not be gay when you grow up like this?! Do you see how happy I am?!"

The fox-faced Edmund Fox smirked: "I look like a gay? Could it be that I have a G written on my right eye, an A on my forehead, and a Y on my left eye? Please tell me Let me cheer up the British, you have lost the face of Britain!"

After finishing speaking, Foxface went up to the second floor with his homophobic collar in hand.Luo Lin also felt happy when he saw this, but when he saw the note in his hand, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"STORE-ROOM"... He really didn't expect that there was an option of "storage room" in the room.

However, the commotion did not end here.When Luo Lin heard the other end of the living room, Rivers yelled angrily: "The storage room?! I'm so old!! You really don't want me to live in this kind of place because you hate me for being late!!!"
