Mr. Butler on the catwalk

January [-]st.

The first day of the duel week, at eight o'clock in the morning.

In the newspaper that Luo Lin got now, the interview with Alfred was placed on the second page of the business section.In addition to some routine personal introductions about Alfred, this report also includes some explanations for Alfred's scandal: "I don't understand why there are untrue reports. I am loyal to my fiancée , I will also fulfill my obligations as a husband in the near future. As for the wedding date... I trust Mr. Rudolf's arrangement."

"The impact of those scandals on me? It's not as big as you imagined. But I don't rule out that some people took the opportunity to tarnish my image in such a way after learning the news of my engagement."

"That's right, the other person in the scandal is the assistant of another camper in my training camp. The relationship between that camper and me...I don't really want to give a negative evaluation here. Is it What was the camper planning... sorry I don't know."

"Well, it seems that you have also heard the relevant news. The camper is indeed named Luo Lin."

Luo Lin put down the newspaper.He also had a very influential entertainment magazine with a street photo of Alfred on the cover and a blurred profile of Zhang Yishan.

…Since the media tycoon Karsten Rudolf announced the engagement of his only daughter and Alfred a few days ago, further news has been released; insiders said that Rudolf plans to parachute Alfred into his industrial management within this month Inside, hold an important position.

When such news was released, the public was probably taken aback.A model - the impression left by this profession is probably similar to that of a vase.But the interview also revealed Alfred's educational background: he graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree, completed all credits in three years, and double majored in computer science and economics.Every year on the HonorRoll, the main player of the school-level basketball team, and finally graduated with an outstanding graduate speech.Although Americans have no adoration for academic qualifications, they will still change their views on such a model.

Originally, the public wouldn't care much about a model's gossip - people in the entertainment industry would occasionally crash two or three dates, and both the parties and the viewers would get used to it.It's good now, a man with outstanding looks who is versatile in many fields, a man who is about to take over the media empire - the relationship between men and women around him will naturally gain more attention.

Luo Lin had no way of knowing the changes in the audience's votes for the LGM program from the official information.But at least he knows how to go to the forum and read the comments.

The most messages he saw recently were probably saying that he was dissatisfied with Alfred's outstanding performance and sent his assistant to pester Alfred.

Luo Lin felt that such an understanding was unbelievable, but he would not be so stupid as to argue with others on that platform.

...after all now he has other things to do.

Immediately the mission time will begin.Luo Lin went outside and sat on the bus.Immediately afterwards, Alfred sat down beside him—smiled and said to him, "Good morning. Today is our first day as teammates."

Luo Lin also smiled slightly: "Good morning. I read your interview...the content is good, and with your photo, it is indeed very attractive."

Alfred raised his eyebrows: "Thank you. Is there anything else you want to say?"

"...Some things, I don't think it will be useful to talk to you. That's it, the conversation can be over." Luo Lin lowered his head, his smile didn't fade, but he gradually exuded an atmosphere of rejection.

The bus started, and neither of them spoke.

……

During the seven days of showdown week, there wasn't a single day of respite.Single day is to compete for the ownership of the case as a group, and double day is to compete for the individual agency right of the case within the group.

Today is a confrontation between groups.It was also the day when Alfred and Luo Lin should work together.

The male models had removed their tops, wore white trousers, and stood in a row in the long rectangular studio with their hands behind their backs.

Their task today is to pose as many people to express "power" and "beauty".The requirement is simple.It is also because of the simplicity of this requirement that it is difficult for people to really have a clue.

The preparation time was only 15 minutes, and the other groups started talking. Luo Lin looked at Alfred and said nothing.

Alfred stretched out his hand silently, wrapping it around Luo Lin's waist.Luo Lin hesitated for a moment, and wrapped his right arm around Alfred's neck.

Alfred smiled jokingly and shook his head.

Luo Lin then turned around.Alfred put his hands on his back, stretching a little.Luo Lin relaxed his body, allowing Alfred to trace the contours of his muscles.

Next, Luo Lin tilted according to the movement of Alfred's hands, turned around, and straightened his legs.Silent movements were going on, Luo Lin turned his head and faced Alfred's face.

He put his hand in front of Alfred's chest, pressed it, and held up Alfred's hand, letting the latter raise his arms flat.After finally thinking for a while, he stood behind Alfred.

Alfred stretched his hands behind him, wrapping around Luo Lin's waist behind him.Feeling the force, Luo Lin closed his eyes.

Then they looked at each other, and moved away from each other.

——Witnessed such a scene, Travis on the side is now stunned: "What kind of communication is that? Don't even say a word?"

Rivers didn't turn around to look, but whispered: "Shut up. Just pay attention to your own business."

Travis turned around obediently, and didn't comment on the two people over there.

……

It's show time.

First came the lone trio - Raúl, Nafario and Aikawa.Aikawa lay prone on the ground, then propped up his upper body, while bending one leg upwards to form a beautiful arc.His neck stretched, his forearm muscles tensed, and his eyes looked up at the sky above.

This is an act of expressing desire.But above his head, Raul and Nafario's arms were intertwined, in a hug-like position, head to head, leaning against each other tightly.

Their limbs constitute a dome invisible to the sky.

The expressions of the three people are very pale.It's just that Aikawa's expression looks inexplicably vivid, while the other two are cold and completely lifeless.

From the composition point of view, the three-dimensional lines all come from arcs, and the S-shaped lines on the plane also divide the blank space of the background.And some kind of theme that seems to be a metaphor makes the three people more connected.

It was beyond the expectations of the three judges to see the performance of Raul and Travis.

They felt that this should be a good start, but they did not expect that the performance of the next few groups was not satisfactory.

The strength and beauty they want to see are actually based on the "whole".The models brought in all the experience of taking multiple photos—they jumped, twisted their bodies, and made corresponding expressions; they made the angles of the cutting planes with the parts of their bodies that were in contact or not. .Yet they are still separate entities - they have not merged.

What is mentioned in the requirements is to make "multiple poses", not to ask multiple people to pose together.

When Sith started to frown, Luo Lin and Alfred came to the stage.Alfred glanced at Luo Lin expressionlessly, then turned around, leaving the side to the judges.

Luo Lin walked behind Alfred and stood back to back with him.

Alfred stretched out his arms backwards, embracing Luo Lin's lower abdomen.And Luo Lin stretched his hands to the back of his head, and finally placed them on the side of Alfred's neck.

Then Luo Lin closed his eyes.Alfred slowly bent down, while Luo Lin raised his legs.

It wasn't until Alfred's upper body formed a nearly right angle with the ground that he bent down.Then they began to adjust their posture individually - Alfred shifted his weight to his right foot, and the other foot was slightly raised and placed in a forward position.He raised his head a little, then slowly turned it to the side, and with a calm expression, he approached Luo Lin's face.

Luo Lin, who was leaning against him, relaxed his body, as if Alfred's back was some kind of soft couch, showing a lazy expression.His long legs were arched, taut on the one hand, and slightly staggered from the other on the other, protruding toward the sky above.His ankles of almost the same color are exposed under the white trousers, and there is no relaxation from the instep to the toe - as if a certain pose of a dancer is instantly slowed down at this moment.

When they adjusted to a certain angle with each other, they stopped moving.Luo Lin opened his eyes, and Alfred relaxed the lines around his lips.

It was like a beautifully composed painting—although Alfred below was supporting Luo Lin's entire weight, he didn't show any expression of exertion.His face was calm, stained with some kind of possessive love.Now he can complete this high-intensity movement with the support of only one leg.To pose like this was probably as easy for him as engaging in some kind of romp.But his arms were still tightly placed on Luo Lin's abdomen, the knuckles and tendons in his hands arched nervously, as if he was entrenched in his own territory, and he did not loosen a little.The strength projected in it showed how much he didn't want to let go of the person on his back.

As for Luo Lin, who was on top, it made people feel... light.There was no charm in his expression, just like a child who just woke up and was about to open his eyes now.With a naive posture, he stretched his limbs at this moment, so that he could obtain the most comfortable posture.Even though he was leaning on someone else's back, he seemed to be immune to gravity, his back was slightly bent, and his legs seemed to be supported by something.Without the restraint of Alfred's arms, he seemed to be floating upward into the air.

In the next moment, he might turn his head to see Alfred's expression; maybe he would resume his peaceful sleep—no one knew what he would do.What was engraved at this moment was only his casual, clean side face.

It is clearly the body of two adult men intertwined, but it does not bring any sense of heaviness and oppression.Alfred's supporting legs formed a sharp cutting line, while Luo Lin's back made people feel gentle and soft.Even those muscles that are contoured due to exertion are all just right.

Some of the judges squinted their eyes.The composition of this posture, from the vague shape, looks like a person with white wings like angels growing out of his back.

……

Unsurprisingly, the group of Alfred and Luo Lin won the most valuable case—the endorsement opportunity for JeanPaulGaultier's new fragrance, Lamale Terrible*.

Luo Lin looked at the flimsy information that the staff brought over and smiled.

——Is it perfume again?

……

At noon, the campers returned to the model house.However, not long after, Luo Lin was called out by another phone call; finally, he stood facing someone and stood still at the corner of the street.

He Shiwei asked him in a low voice, why he didn't pay attention to himself during the New Year's Eve.

Luo Lin lowered his head and said that he had some things to think about - those things were probably more important than New Year's Eve.

He Shiwei looked into his eyes: "There is no other reason?"

Luo Lin smiled lightly: "They said that the atmosphere during the New Year's Eve is so good that people can't help but do stupid things. I don't want to... do stupid things yet."

He Shiwei was silent for a while: "...you are busy with your work...I...will wait for you."

Luo Lin nodded, turned around and prepared to walk away.

He Shiwei stopped him again, took out a stack of documents from his arms, and handed them to Luo Lin.

Luo Lin looked at He Shiwei.He Shiwei reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth: "This is all the information I can find about Alfred. Maybe it will help you... I also read the morning newspaper, and I said I would help you."

"……Thanks".

……

That night, Luo Lin read all the information about Alfred that He Shiwei gave him.

Judging from the first impression, this file is innocent to weird.Alfred has no fixed contacts, his personal exposure is very low, and he has almost no leisure activities outside of work.

So there are only two possibilities, he doesn't make contact with others in private, or he hides those contacts very well.

But the only thing Luo Lin didn't really expect was that Alfred had a boyfriend when he was in college.

There is a photo attached to the investigation materials, which is not very clear.It can only be roughly seen that Alfred smiled happily at that time, foolishly, and hugged a boy in his arms with a lot of strength.

And the boy's face facing the camera was a bit sleepy, his facial features were very distinct, and his eyes were big——

The boy was Asian with black hair and black eyes.

Luo Lin frowned.According to the information, this person died in the year Alfred graduated.unknown reason.

After that, Alfred resolutely devoted himself to the modeling circle, and there was nothing else to check in the subsequent information except for some details of his work.

Luo Lin sorted out the materials and put them back into the paper bag.On the next bed, Portway asked him in a low voice, "Are you still asleep?"

Luo Lin turned around: "I'm going to sleep now...good night."

The two put on the quilt one after another, and Portovy turned off the light at the head of the bed.

……

January [-]nd.

There was another news in the morning papers--an opinion piece in a moderately respected commercial paper.The bulk of the comments questioned Rudolf's decision to bring someone with no background into management.On this basis, they also analyzed the so-called process of falling in love between Alfred and Rudolf's only daughter Lilian - from the first meeting at the backstage of a catwalk to the successive encounters, this seemingly destined love is more like The result of someone's careful planning.

Echoing this report is another very well-known entertainment magazine feature.In this special topic, the shady scenes in the glamorous circle of models are exposed - among them, it is worth noting that several anonymous newcomer models testified against a certain person who is now becoming popular and has begun to have great social influence Models, unscrupulous practices when getting a job-"When he was guiding newcomers, he misreported the content of the case and the interview time for us", "falsified our personal files", "used coercion to force others to give up the competition"...

The background of these testimonies includes the location of the brokerage company of this person, and the description of his appearance, words and deeds.Luo Lin can almost imagine what kind of associations readers will have after such a report appears, and what kind of discussion there will be on the forum.

It was breakfast time, and when Alfred walked down the stairs, the atmosphere became inexplicably weird.The sound of talking and laughing became less, and the sound of the collision between knives and forks sounded uncomfortable.

Luo Lin stood up, put away the used dishes, and went out to call He Shiwei: "Did you send those two new reports?"

"My influence here is not that great. I guess you can't think of it, it's Aikawa."

"...How could he have the ability to invite someone to do a special project?"

He Shiwei sighed on the other end of the phone: "...his mother is former supermodel Clarice Cicero...you should have heard of this name. His connections may not be good, but the influence of Clarice, the legendary courtesan, is still there."

Luo Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "...I think what you said earlier is correct."

"what?"

"I have a bad hunch... If we compete with Alfred for the influence of public opinion, we probably have no chance of winning."

He Shiwei was also silent for a while: "Now we can only take one step at a time. Or do you have any other plans?"

Luo Lin looked at the newspaper in his hand. In the black and white photo, he could see the resolute and old side face of Karsten Rudolf.

He said to He Shiwei: "...for the time being, it's just an idea, but I will try my best to make it a reality."

……

The individual duel of Luo Lin's group started in the afternoon.The employer's reception standard is very high, and Limo was specially sent to pick it up.Alfred and Luo Lin sat at opposite ends of the car, their expressions were very calm, but they could make people feel a strong low pressure.

In the early noon, Zhang Yishan came to send materials to Luo Lin - about Jean Paul Gaultier, about all the front and rear notes of the new perfume; in addition, there were the expected positioning of the perfume, internal market research, and The user experience of original fragrance.The most astonishing thing is probably that Zhang Yishan gave Luo Lin a dozen performance points and suggestions.Zhang Yishan's eyes were still red, and he didn't speak. It seemed that he was frightened by the model's house. After giving the information, he ran away in embarrassment after not staying for long.

Ai Chuan followed without saying a word—their case competition would start earlier than Luo Lin's, and he said he would bring Zhang Yishan to the scene.

At that time, Luo Lin felt that Zhang Yishan's whole body was shocked, looking slumped and frightened, it was really pitiful.

And the instigator of this situation is sitting opposite him now.

The car stopped in front of the studio.Luo Lin straightened up, put one hand on the side of the car door, and stopped in front of Alfred.

He glanced at Alfred, and got out of the car before Alfred.

Alfred laughed out loud, and Luo Lin could hear the banter and disdain in that laugh.

...that made him very uncomfortable.

……

Two hours later, the shooting ended. Luo Lin and Alfred changed the sea soul shirts they were wearing during the shooting in the background.

——The winner this time is Luo Lin.

Alfred threw the undressed clothes aside, but not into the storage basket.

Luo Lin paused when he saw his movements.Some emotions were not frustration, but more like anger, emanating from Alfred's profile.

…Just now, Alfred took Luo Lin to shoot first.The sea soul shirt and white sailor cap looked very suitable on him.He is as muscular and tanned as the characters on classic posters of all time.His arms and chest are powerful, but his deep face has a lovely mixture of sunshine and softness.

During the filming, he straightened his chest as if he was standing on the deck, and gave a nice military salute.However, his chin was lifted slightly, and his head was slightly tilted.Looking at it together with his proud smile, it reminds people of ignorant and fearless children.However, with such an innocent expression, he matched his deep eyes——his eyes seemed to be looking at the sea in front of him, and seemed to be seeing further away, which made people see from those brown eyes. In his eyes, he saw the dark blue water.

Since it is the endorsement of perfume, it needs only a simple scene expression.But the image of the model should be distinct enough to match the theme and impression of the fragrance.

Alfred didn't think about changing the image of the perfume.He didn't think that was necessary.

But Luo Lin had to make a change.

Luo Lin's skin is so white that it is a bit transparent, and his upper arm muscles are also of the lesser type, and he is an Asian that can be seen at a glance.Such an image definitely does not meet the traditional definition of a sailor.What he can do is probably to use other shining points to divert other people's eyes.

Before filming, he asked Staff for a glass of water, and poured all of it on his head.

The photographer did nothing to stop his actions.This is not the final decision, and there is still room for individual development.

The glass of water slowly dripped down to his chest, making the sea soul shirt show a dark mark.Luo Lin's hair was disheveled after being soaked, and the natural curvature became more obvious.Then Luo Lin sat down on the chair, grasped the white sailor cap in his hands - he adjusted his expression, relaxed his facial muscles, and closed his eyes.

In the information given to him by Zhang Yishan, users expressed their views on lemale.They think that the impressions on the posters are not exactly in line with the scent of the perfume.Those sailors are big and sexy and sunny, but the vanilla in the lemale base is so strong-it's almost a kind of creamy, soft, reminiscent of furry cushions.The fragrance is very, very sweet, but fortunately, the mint flavor has always existed, like the sea breeze, keeping people awake amidst the sweetness.It smells soft enough to be used by a woman, but it still has a blue, male bone.

The above description may arouse many people's olfactory associations.But in fact, some perfume critics made such comments on another variant of Lemale, Lemalesuper——

I thought this perfume was too basic, but it still goes further and further on the road of basic.

Alfred may be able to accurately grasp the masculine presence in the previous posters, but his nature lacks a femininity—just like the previous endorsement models may be strong, but between their eyebrows and the corners of their lips, there is still There is a strange implication.

Luo Lin also changed his demeanor after the glass of water was poured down.In his movements and expressions, he once added a certain element called unruly.

This made him look masculine in a different way.

Then under such circumstances, he turned his head sideways, raised his hand and pulled at the collar of his sea soul shirt.The water droplets on the hair were about to fall, he disliked the damp feeling as if it was in the way, and shook his hair.

At that moment, the photographer knew that his expression was in place, so he also pressed the shutter.

There was plenty of light in the studio.The scattered water droplets are like shining round diamonds, drawing arcs in the air.Luo Lin only slightly raised one corner of his mouth, opened his lips as if sighing softly, and exhaled soundlessly.He lifted his chin slightly, exposing his neck and Adam's apple.Because of the angle and distance, in the camera, Luo Lin's eyelashes appear wet and curved, giving the illusion that they are wet from tears—or sweat.His brows are relaxed, his eyes are not fully opened, nor are they given a deliberate focus.

He looks happy and happy.And in addition to this, it brings out a certain sense of gluttony.

It was impossible to know what was causing his eyes to slack.At first glance, Luo Lin looks like a sailor resting due to fatigue while docking at the port, but after tasting it carefully, the meaning in this photo may be different from this first impression.

No matter what the shutter speed is, taking photos under motion will bring a sense of movement to the photos anyway.This sense of movement can neutralize the presence of body contours in some cases.

Luo Lin succeeded in diverting the viewer's attention from his relatively thin arms with his movements and expressions.

The employment representative came over after a quarter of an hour, stretched out his hand, and said to Luo Lin that the promotional photo will be taken on location in two weeks, hoping to confirm the validity of his passport.

Only then did Luo Lin wake up from the atmosphere of taking pictures, and shook that person back with his wet hand.

……

There are still 11 days until the end of the LGM training camp.

The author has something to say: whoever said that my pace is slow, I, who am I in a hurry... I updated it every day... This chapter made my hair fall out...
