[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show
Chapter 106 America's Next Top Model
"Come and sit down first." Lisa noticed that Britney's knee was injured, but she wisely didn't ask, but thoughtfully led them to the sofa next to her, and said to them, " You're here for an interview, aren't you?"
"Yes." The two sat on the sofa with the young female designer, Britney and Ellie sat on one side, and Lisa and Chester sat on the other.Only then did Yili and Britney realize that due to reasons of excitement or surprise, they didn't mention where they came from, and quickly added embarrassingly, "We are models arranged by America's Supermodel for an interview, and this is our resume .”
"Okay, let's take a look." Lisa already knew - and the cameras following the pair clearly showed that.Chester patted her on the shoulder lightly, signaling her to choose first. After Lisa smiled happily and shyly, she accepted her fiancé's kindness logically and chose Yili's resume first.This made Britney a little disappointed.
Fortunately, Britney was not lost for too long, Chester stood up, walked to her side, sat down facing her, and took the blushing Britney's resume - compared to Lisa , of course Chester is more lethal to the girls.
"Your still photos are very imposing." Lisa said softly to Yi Li while flipping through her brochure, "Wow, did you take nude photos this time?" Seeing the second still photo At that time, Lisa was a little surprised.
"Yes." Yili nodded with a smile, "For me, this is a difficult task. At the beginning, I couldn't let go of myself, and I acted very stiff. Fortunately, with Wu Jack—— After chatting with my stylist, I opened up and took this hard shot. By the way, the photographer this time was Tony Duran, who was annoyed at my stiffness at first, but seeing the final After the still photos, I still decided to forgive me generously."
"Mr. Duran is a very good photographer. No wonder you can take such excellent still photos. Of course, you are also very expressive. I can really feel the hormones rushing in the still photos."
Lisa curled the corners of her mouth for Yili's interesting description, and said with approval and encouragement, "For models, taking nude photos is a common thing, if you refuse to take nude photos, you will lose a lot Job opportunities. Of course, general nude photos will not really let the models go naked, but will use clever modeling to protect you, just like you have arms covering your chest in hard photos.”
"Yes, I've been able to face it calmly." Yili smiled and said deliberately relaxed - the last still photo will not be exposed, as long as the mental adjustment is good, it will be fine as wearing a bikini with little fabric.
"This represents a very difficult step for you." Lisa also smiled and nodded at her.
"I really like your confident and strong feeling." Lisa flipped through Yi Li's brochure again, and said to her, "Very strong, but not too tough, this kind of personal aura is very subtle. "
What Lisa didn't say was that when she opened Yili's brochure, for a moment, she almost thought she saw her muse.If she hadn't spoken so hastily under the camera, she would almost have said that the girl is her ideal r model—beauty, but not a charming beauty, but a casual, free and unpredictable beauty; strong aura, But it is not the incomparable publicity, but the strength of personality that cannot be ignored.This is pretty much the girl born for her design ideas!
"Thank you, Lisa." If Yili has a respectful attitude towards other previous designers, then she is naturally close to Lisa—the girl born because of her, and there are still 50 years left The future girl is the imprint of her past existence in this world.
Of course, Lisa was just Lisa and had nothing to do with her since Eli's last departure, but Eli knew that, just as she had instinctively drawn to this girl, this girl had instinctively drawn to her.This is also the reason why Yili can talk to this popular and famous designer with an almost equal attitude, instead of being too polite to other designers.
Feeling this soul bond, if it weren't for the camera on the side, the two would have almost nothing to talk about.
But even so, the two still have a silent understanding.
From Prada to Louis Vuitton, from Armani to Dior, from Gucci to Hermes, from Tiffany to Cartier, the two have very similar views on fashion - of course, Lisa's knowledge was born out of Yili.
For Eli, talking to another self is a very novel experience, like sorting out her own fashion views; while for Lisa, talking to this strange girl is even more magical—— ——For the first time, she experienced the feeling that the other party can fully understand without having to say it herself.
She and this girl are simply more in tune with Chester!
Just when Yi Li and Lisa had a good chat, and the topic changed from the fashion field to the entertainment circle, and then to world celebrities, Chester and Britney were having a very routine interview conversation.
"Your photos are very distinctive." Chester said to Britney while flipping through Britney's brochure.
"...Thank you..." Britney was in a trance, and completely forgot to take this opportunity to introduce herself—she didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to sit on the same sofa as Chester!This is really incredible! ! !
"..." Seeing Britney's distraction, Chester rubbed the bridge of his nose helplessly—from the girl's reaction, it can be seen that she should be his and Lisa's fan, maybe it was from Flyover started paying attention.
However, these girls only saw the glamorous side of him and Lisa, but did not see the hardships of the two from setting a development plan to rushing to work day and night.This may be the common misunderstanding of people in the fashion industry by outsiders-under the surface of the colorful flowers, it is actually the same struggle and hard work as other industries.
Since he and Lisa decided to find a different way, they began to study the award season in the entertainment industry and listed the stars who might be captured by them. From the third-rate TV star to finally getting to know Larson, this was an extremely difficult process.
Not all the people who wore their dresses won the awards, but after Larson was awarded the Oscar, the stars who wore their dresses and won awards also came into people's field of vision, and those who did not win the awards naturally disappeared.
The two initially chose those starlets who have the appearance of champions in the classification awards of small awards (such as the most popular award), but are not well-known, and may not get big-name sponsored dresses. Can spend a lot of money on big-name dresses themselves-and they have to be non-couture, otherwise they can't afford it.
So, when they contacted each other's agent with their own design drafts—here I would like to thank Ms. Caroline Bellumer, the creative director of the Monaco Club, she admired the two of them and helped them thread the needle. That's why they got to know the agent, and the agent was willing to give them a chance to try to order a dress for their star - they have already proved themselves in the runway, not really fledgling , A penniless little designer.
But considering that the two have little experience in this area, the other party reserves the final right to refuse - that is, if they are not satisfied with the dress they made, they can directly refuse.This kind of unequal contract may waste countless time and energy of the two, but the two who are in a disadvantaged position have no room to refuse at all, so of course they agreed.
As a result, they not only conquered that star, they swept the entire awards season!
From the embarrassing door-to-door recommendation at the beginning, to the crowds, they finally gained a firm foothold in this circle.
After that, with the help of Ms. Bellumer—this lady is their noble person, she not only contacted them with agents in the entertainment industry, but also met some bankers for them, and helped them establish their own luxury brand liza&r , and asked someone to appraise the loan for their brand, thus renting the facade of Fifth Avenue-as the most luxurious shopping street in the world, the rent of the facade of Fifth Avenue is definitely not something they can afford.
Even though they got the follow-up models of the dresses they ordered for the stars, in order to let the stars choose the dresses for the two of them, they secretly reached an agreement with those stars at a big discount-the price on the surface cannot be low, That will affect the subsequent pricing of their dresses.After deducting costs and high taxes (the tax is based on the face price), their real income is very little.
They would never have been able to open their Fifth Avenue store and create their official website so quickly without Ms. Bellummer helping them get a bank loan.And this store on Fifth Avenue has once again improved their brand style - Chanel on the left, Armani on the right, and Dior on the opposite. Such a high-end address is something that countless designers have to work hard for for five or ten years. !
L&C, which sponsors America's Supermodel this time, is a light luxury sub-line of R.
This is the same as the relationship between Dolce & Gabbana and d&g. Maybe some people who don’t know much about fashion will think that Dolce & Gabbana is equivalent to d&g, but those who know a little about fashion know that Dolce & Gabbana It is one of the top luxury brands, and d&g is just a light luxury sub-line of &gabbana, which is the same as giorgioarmani is a luxury brand, and emporioarmani is a sub-line brand for young people.
Like many brand designers with commercial ambitions, Lisa and Chester are also planning to start enriching their brand lines—to put it bluntly, they are making money with secondary lines while maintaining the high style of the brand, so they decided to establish this l&c brand, and the target consumer group is their mass fans - the initial price range of L&C is between US$400 and US$2000, which is affordable for ordinary middle-class girls.
As for fast-moving consumer brands such as h&m and zara, which have strong earning power, but are low-priced and follow the model of small profits and high sales, neither of them have ever thought about it.If the price of l&c becomes tens of dollars to two to three hundred dollars, it will definitely create more wealth, but in that case, the brand style of liza&r will definitely be lowered!They want to maintain the vitality of r, not consume the value of this brand!
While Chester and Britney's conversation ends, Ellie and Lisa's conversation continues.
"Oh my god, did you win five rounds of stills? That's amazing," Lisa exclaimed.
"But Lisa won more, didn't she? I remember it was a record-breaking six victories!" Yi Li smiled back, "If Chester's is counted, you two won more than half of the victories, and you won't win even once. Never had a low score!"
"If Chester wasn't here, I would definitely win more." Lisa sighed deliberately.
"I'm so sorry." Chester, who came back from Britney, sat down next to Lisa, put his arms around his fiancée's shoulder, and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I participated in that competition, I'm sorry, I That's why I met you."
At the end, he almost whispered into his fiancée's ear.
Yili noticed that although Lisa's complexion was normal, the tips of her ears turned red all of a sudden - after being shown affection by these two people, Yili's mood was a bit complicated...
As for Britney, when she saw Chester put his arms around Lisa's shoulders, she screamed in her heart.
Well, by the way, Britney is a cp fan of these two designers.
After stopping the conversation between Lisa and Ellie with actions, Chester and Lisa also chose two outfits for Ellie and Britney, let them walk around twice, and took some photos to confirm their Is it suitable for l&c? The final endorsement of this round of American supermodel is the TV commercial broadcast by l&c in North America. This contract is definitely worth millions!
After the girls were gone, the cameras stayed to capture what the two designers thought of the two models.
"What do you think, dear?" Chester said to his fiancée.
"I like Hailey better," Lisa replied, "From the moment she walked in, I said to myself: This is her! This is the girl! This is the r-girl I've been looking for!" Not l&c , it's liza&r!
"I think so too. She has a very unique temperament, which is the kind of self-confidence, beauty, and strength that belong to women, but she is not weak, only firm and strong." He held his fiancée's hand hanging by his side, just like he had done quietly in the sky bridge competition-this is a small gesture between the two of them.
"I know." The young and beautiful female designer tiptoed and kissed her fiancé gently on the cheek.
***
With 10 minutes left before the scheduled time, Ellie and Britney returned to the smashbox studio.
In fact, if it wasn't for the pleasant conversation between Eli and Lisa, they should be able to come back sooner, but Britney has no complaints about this at all-seeing the warm interaction between Chester and Lisa, it's a great feeling for her. For the fans who have followed all the way, it is definitely the happiest thing!She never imagined that Lisa and Chester would be the interview guests of America's Supermodel!
"Hayley, am I dreaming?" Britney said dazedly, "Did we interview L&C just now?"
"That's right." Eli said with a smile while pushing the door, "We also saw Lisa and Chester."
"Oh! Oh! My God!" Britney put her hands together, "I actually met Lisa and Chester!!!"
"Why do you like them so much?" Yili restrained the subtle feeling in her heart and asked curiously.
"They are good-looking, talented, serious and sincere..." Britney's words of praise are endless.
"..." Yili felt that she was going to blush.
When the two walked to the waiting room, they found that Chiara and Victoria had arrived.
"Are you back?" Chiara greeted them with a smile, "How is the interview going?"
"Not bad." Yili replied casually, and then asked Britney to sit down first—her knee was injured after all, and looked at the photographer, "Is Jones there?"
"Come right now," the photographer replied.
After the L&C interview, Yili wanted to take Britney to the hospital, but Britney said that the knee had stopped bleeding, so it’s okay, just let Jones see it after going back—this level of disinfection and cleaning is indeed the medical staff of the program group will do the job.After going to the hospital, he will definitely return late, which will affect the filming of the show.Many staff members leave work on time, and delayed shooting requires temporary overtime pay, which is not a small budget.
Since Britney was willing to put the shooting first, the photographer of course also kindly contacted Jones in advance, instead of insisting that Britney should go to the hospital - Jones has confirmed by phone that Britney's tetanus shot is still within the time limit , it is not so necessary to go to the hospital.
Almost as soon as the photographer finished speaking, Jones, a medical worker from the show, came in with a medical kit and treated Britney's knee injury.Britney's wound, which was already not so painful, also stung once because of the other party's cleaning.
"What happened to her?" Chiara said worriedly. "Is she hurt?"
"Accidentally fell down." Yili didn't add any details to speak ill of Christine, but just passed it by.
"That's a pity, I hope it doesn't affect her interview." Chiara sighed.
"..." Britney didn't feel it at first, but when Chiara said it, she immediately thought of the pair of young designers who seemed to be more affectionate to Yili, which made her even more nervous, and even glanced at Yili uneasily. Li.
"..." Yili was a little unsure whether Chiara did it on purpose...
Laura and Christine came back almost pinching points.
Upon their return, the girls were taken to the filming location, where Callie and Marcus were already waiting.
"Welcome back," Kelly said to the girls. "How was your day?"
"Not bad/great/fun..." the girls responded cooperatively.
"Very good." Kelly smiled at them, "The designers left comments for you and gave you a score between 1 and 10. The average score of the five designers is Your score this time, the score is displayed on the screen of your supermodel house, and you can see it when you go back. Next, Marcus will tell you the designer's comments."
"Thanks, Kelly." Marcus beamed at Kelly, then turned to the girls. "We're starting with Kristen."
"Christine." Marcus looked down and read the designers' comments on the blonde girl, "The designers think you are beautiful, but as a model, beauty alone is not enough, your steps are a bit unnatural. Especially the three designers you interviewed at the end felt that you were completely out of shape and didn’t pay enough attention to this interview, which was a bit of a joke.”
"..." When Christine heard the first sentence, there was still a smile on her face, but when she heard the last sentence, she gritted her teeth unwillingly—at that time, after she made Britney accidentally fall down, she was full of tears. Thinking that he was about to be kicked out of the competition by the director, he naturally behaved a little out of order under the flustered state of mind, but Laura didn't want to comfort her, and even showed that she ignored her and wanted to draw a line with her, driving blindly It's so selfish to rush to the interview and only care about her own performance!
But at this point in the competition, Christine also knew that what the judges disliked the most were contestants' arguments and complaints, so she could only forcefully suppress her grievances, and quietly glared at Laura and Britney, and Yili, who has a physique of attracting hatred in this competition——Ili is really lying on the ground this time...
"Britney, the designers think you're bubbly and cute, but there's still room for improvement."
In other words, the designers didn't think Britney was good enough.
"Laura, the designers love your shape, but think your steps are a bit stiff."
"Chiara, the designers think you are very energetic and approachable, but your steps need to be improved."
"Victoria, you performed well today, but the designers feel that your temperament is difficult to define."
"Hailey, most of the designers admire you very much, and think that you have outstanding photos and the best steps."
In fact, Kaili couldn’t help but wonder if the designers thought that other girls’ performances were not good because they saw Haili’s relationship—leaving aside the photo quality (in fact, Hai Li’s photo level is also extremely good), Hailey's steps have always been the best among girls, even in all seasons of America's Supermodel, they are among the best.
Let Kelly say that it is definitely a professional-level step, the kind that can skip further training from a modeling agency and go directly to the Big Four!In contrast, the steps of other girls seem too shabby or immature...
"Next, we're going to announce the signing of each of you." Kelly said to the girls-her eyes unconsciously stopped on the quiet smiling girl, who she and Marcus knew this time How wonderful.Seeing the look on the girl's face as if she was sure of winning, Kelly faintly felt a hint of arrogance.
"The first one is Lulu Guinness, the queen of teenage handbags in England and even the world. Her choice is—" Marcus dragged his voice, glanced at the expectant girls, and smiled slightly. Finally, it stopped on the girl who was too good to be frightening, "Hailey! Congratulations, you got your first contract!"
"Oh, thank you! Thank you, thank you Mrs. Guinness!" Even if the designer personally hinted, but Yi Li and Britney are the first girls to reach Lulu Guinness, it is hard to say that after the two of them , Mrs. Guinness will not fall in love with other girls.So, realizing that Mrs. Guinness really liked her and chose her, Yili was very happy.
"Second is Whitney Porter, the partner chosen by the big star is-" Marcus smiled again at the girl, "Hayley, congratulations! Wow, you've got two contract!"
"Thank you, Marcus! I'm glad Whitney chose me too." Eli said to Marcus with a smile.
However, Yi Li was not surprised by Whitney's choice.This celebrity designer who values resumes has almost no resistance to Yili's six-match five wins, not to mention, Yili's steps are nothing to criticize.For Whitney, choosing Yili is probably a matter of course.
"I think the other girls are going to be upset if you win again, don't you?" Marcus winks playfully.
"Oh, please..." With the chance to speak out given by Marcus, the girls almost took the opportunity to complain—they couldn't bear the thought of this girl also winning three consecutive victories in the contract!
Judging from the games of previous seasons, there are not many such terrible triple kills—there are, and there are even quadruple kills, but the frequency of occurrence is very low.A lot of the time, one person gets two contracts, someone else gets one contract or none, and the person who gets two contracts wins.There are really very few players with three kills and four kills who can suppress everyone with their own strength!
The girls couldn't believe that Hailey was one of them, or that this girl would still beat them all this time!The girls feel that they are no different from Hailey!If Haili really wins three consecutive victories, she will definitely be even more arrogant!absolute! ! !
Just thinking about that possibility makes the girls chest tight...
Viewers and fans, of course, don't feel that way.
From their perspective, Haili and the other girls are hardly on the same level, and the other girls are definitely being crushed!To put it bluntly, except for Haili, the overall strength of the other girls in this season is not strong, and they will be eliminated early in the season with strong opponents.And Haili is obviously not on the same level as them. Even if Haili is put in the death season, Haili is not without strength!
This is probably the so-called obsession with the authorities, clear to the bystanders.
"OK." Receiving the waves of resentment from the girls, Marcus also raised his hands in surrender, "The next one is the youngest designer in Los Angeles, Cecilia Cassini, her choice is—"
Don't be Hailey!Don't be Hailey!Don't be Hailey!The girls are praying together again!
As long as it's against that girl, everyone else seems to be especially in tune.
This is what people say - with a common enemy, the cohesion of the team is stronger than ever.
The smarter girl has already guessed that since Marcus said that, Hayley must not have gotten Cassini's contract!
They looked at Marcus almost expectantly, waiting for Marcus to hit the girl in the face hard!
As for that girl already got two contracts?Maybe the girl wasn't expecting the contract at all?The girls said that they didn't know at all! ! !
This time, Marcus looked at the ginger-haired girl standing next to Yili, "Britney, congratulations!"
"Oh, my God, my God!" Compared to Yi Li's calm thank you, Britney almost burst into tears!
What girl knows what it's like to interview with Hailey?
Seeing Haili conquer the designers time and time again with her photos and steps, watching Haili and the designers have a good conversation, watching the designers look at Haili with approval, the pressure on Britney is getting stronger and stronger. It was getting heavier and heavier, almost crushing her!
But, but!She still snatched a contract from Hailey!
Thinking of this made Britney very excited!
Hailey is just one contract ahead of her!
And she, with the first one, has the second one, and the third one!She still has a chance to win!
Another one, and she will be even with Hailey!One more time, and she will be able to turn defeat into victory!
At this moment, Britney was almost dazzled by the instant ecstasy!
"Thank you, thank you!" Britney said incoherently, barely remembering to thank the guests.
"Congratulations." Marcus smiled tolerantly at Britney, ignoring her belated thanks.
From the previous expressions of the other girls, Marcus could sense what kind of status Yili held in their hearts—by visual inspection, she was the Great Demon King, right?Marcus thought silently.Moreover, he is still the kind of big devil who contrasts other people as a control group.
That being the case, it's not hard to understand Britney's ecstasy when she was assigned to be in the same group as the Great Demon King and snatched a precious contract from him...
The reactions of the other girls were much more flat--Hailey's miss is of course worthy of their champagne, but since she hasn't broken zero yet, it's better to be more reserved.However, if he can counter-kill Haili and get the next two most important big contracts, then he can overtake Haili!Thinking of this, I'm a little excited...
"The next one is Gales, this big international company." Marcus announced, "And Gales's preferred model is—" Looking at the pair of beautiful big eyes full of expectation, Ma Kus felt a little unbearable, and could hardly bear to sympathize with these girls, because they were destined to...
"Hayley!" Marcus' announcement nearly shattered the girls' last hope of victory.
Out of five contracts, four were announced, and Hayley got three by herself.
Impossible, absolutely impossible, it is impossible for them to turn defeat into victory.
So, did they lose again in this round of challenges?Lost to this girl?
At this moment, the girls wanted to throw Hailey out of America's Next Top Model in a sack! ! !
"Thank you!" Yili immediately thanked Marcus.
However, thinking of Sarah’s extremely enthusiastic attitude as a senior sales executive when she left Gales (Sarah actually wants to have a good relationship with Lala now, so that it will be easier to talk about endorsements in the future... Of course, in the future, this It’s so far-sighted! Sarah privately thinks that this is the smartest decision in her life! No one!), and Yili is not very surprised about this contract.
Of course, the joy that should be expressed still needs to be shown, in order to show respect for this "amazing" brand, and to show that I am overjoyed and flattered after being selected...
"The last one, l&c, Lisa and Chester - these two designers who designed award-winning gowns for Oscar queens is a newly established light luxury brand. What they are looking for is not just poster models, but Models in TV commercials on TV all over North America!" Marcus said to the girls with a look of excitement, but he shed tears of sympathy for them in his heart.
"Ah—" the girls all screamed!Just one, as long as you get this one, you can instantly kill all Haili's previous ones!That's just a poster model, they are not rare! ! !This opportunity to make it to the small screen, to be shown on every home TV in North America as a TV commercial is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Of course, there are also girls who are a little bit more rational and secretly worried in their hearts - if they can't get this contract again, then this challenge will have zero results. This is too embarrassing, too embarrassing, it is simply a humiliation!
"And the model Lisa and Chester chose is—" Marcus' eyes slowly swept over every girl present, each girl's heart was deeply touched by his gaze, and the big eyes opened Watching him move ~human~ lips without blinking, just waiting for him to say his name!It must be yours, please!God bless!
"Congratulations again—" Just hearing the first half of the sentence, the fiery hearts of the three girls suddenly turned cold, as if a large basin of ice water was suddenly poured on the hot charcoal basin, making a sizzling sound ——This is the sound of their heartache.Only Britney looked at Marcus with hope, she knew that she still had a chance to win this contract that meant everything to her!
"Hayley!" Marcus called out Lucky's name as the other girls widened their eyes in disbelief!
Why is it her again?
It's good to get the first three contracts, why don't you give them any chance?
How could the designers, and that girl, be so cold and heartless?
why her?
Why always her?
The girls wept silently in their hearts.
Even one is fine, as long as one is fine!
Even if it's not a TV commercial model, it's better than nothing if it's just a poster model!
But, they just have nothing!Nothing at all! nothing! None!
At this moment, the hands were twisted unconsciously behind the back, the fingers were unintentionally pinching the corners of the clothes, the toes were grinding the ground furiously, the upper and lower teeth were grinding fiercely, and the eyes were unconsciously casting poison...
The camera is simply too busy to shoot!
"Thank you! Thank you, Marcus! And those two designers!" Yili thanked Marcus again.
The last and most important contract is also the one she is most confident about!
As long as Lisa is still in this brand, as long as Lisa still has her right to speak, Yili can guarantee that she is her favorite model, and she is the one most likely to win the contract!
In this world, no one knows what Lisa likes better than her!
Chester couldn't, and neither could Lisa, because that was her life!
The life she created by herself!
"Yes." The two sat on the sofa with the young female designer, Britney and Ellie sat on one side, and Lisa and Chester sat on the other.Only then did Yili and Britney realize that due to reasons of excitement or surprise, they didn't mention where they came from, and quickly added embarrassingly, "We are models arranged by America's Supermodel for an interview, and this is our resume .”
"Okay, let's take a look." Lisa already knew - and the cameras following the pair clearly showed that.Chester patted her on the shoulder lightly, signaling her to choose first. After Lisa smiled happily and shyly, she accepted her fiancé's kindness logically and chose Yili's resume first.This made Britney a little disappointed.
Fortunately, Britney was not lost for too long, Chester stood up, walked to her side, sat down facing her, and took the blushing Britney's resume - compared to Lisa , of course Chester is more lethal to the girls.
"Your still photos are very imposing." Lisa said softly to Yi Li while flipping through her brochure, "Wow, did you take nude photos this time?" Seeing the second still photo At that time, Lisa was a little surprised.
"Yes." Yili nodded with a smile, "For me, this is a difficult task. At the beginning, I couldn't let go of myself, and I acted very stiff. Fortunately, with Wu Jack—— After chatting with my stylist, I opened up and took this hard shot. By the way, the photographer this time was Tony Duran, who was annoyed at my stiffness at first, but seeing the final After the still photos, I still decided to forgive me generously."
"Mr. Duran is a very good photographer. No wonder you can take such excellent still photos. Of course, you are also very expressive. I can really feel the hormones rushing in the still photos."
Lisa curled the corners of her mouth for Yili's interesting description, and said with approval and encouragement, "For models, taking nude photos is a common thing, if you refuse to take nude photos, you will lose a lot Job opportunities. Of course, general nude photos will not really let the models go naked, but will use clever modeling to protect you, just like you have arms covering your chest in hard photos.”
"Yes, I've been able to face it calmly." Yili smiled and said deliberately relaxed - the last still photo will not be exposed, as long as the mental adjustment is good, it will be fine as wearing a bikini with little fabric.
"This represents a very difficult step for you." Lisa also smiled and nodded at her.
"I really like your confident and strong feeling." Lisa flipped through Yi Li's brochure again, and said to her, "Very strong, but not too tough, this kind of personal aura is very subtle. "
What Lisa didn't say was that when she opened Yili's brochure, for a moment, she almost thought she saw her muse.If she hadn't spoken so hastily under the camera, she would almost have said that the girl is her ideal r model—beauty, but not a charming beauty, but a casual, free and unpredictable beauty; strong aura, But it is not the incomparable publicity, but the strength of personality that cannot be ignored.This is pretty much the girl born for her design ideas!

However, these girls only saw the glamorous side of him and Lisa, but did not see the hardships of the two from setting a development plan to rushing to work day and night.This may be the common misunderstanding of people in the fashion industry by outsiders-under the surface of the colorful flowers, it is actually the same struggle and hard work as other industries.
Since he and Lisa decided to find a different way, they began to study the award season in the entertainment industry and listed the stars who might be captured by them. From the third-rate TV star to finally getting to know Larson, this was an extremely difficult process.
Not all the people who wore their dresses won the awards, but after Larson was awarded the Oscar, the stars who wore their dresses and won awards also came into people's field of vision, and those who did not win the awards naturally disappeared.
The two initially chose those starlets who have the appearance of champions in the classification awards of small awards (such as the most popular award), but are not well-known, and may not get big-name sponsored dresses. Can spend a lot of money on big-name dresses themselves-and they have to be non-couture, otherwise they can't afford it.
So, when they contacted each other's agent with their own design drafts—here I would like to thank Ms. Caroline Bellumer, the creative director of the Monaco Club, she admired the two of them and helped them thread the needle. That's why they got to know the agent, and the agent was willing to give them a chance to try to order a dress for their star - they have already proved themselves in the runway, not really fledgling , A penniless little designer.
But considering that the two have little experience in this area, the other party reserves the final right to refuse - that is, if they are not satisfied with the dress they made, they can directly refuse.This kind of unequal contract may waste countless time and energy of the two, but the two who are in a disadvantaged position have no room to refuse at all, so of course they agreed.
As a result, they not only conquered that star, they swept the entire awards season!
From the embarrassing door-to-door recommendation at the beginning, to the crowds, they finally gained a firm foothold in this circle.
After that, with the help of Ms. Bellumer—this lady is their noble person, she not only contacted them with agents in the entertainment industry, but also met some bankers for them, and helped them establish their own luxury brand liza&r , and asked someone to appraise the loan for their brand, thus renting the facade of Fifth Avenue-as the most luxurious shopping street in the world, the rent of the facade of Fifth Avenue is definitely not something they can afford.
Even though they got the follow-up models of the dresses they ordered for the stars, in order to let the stars choose the dresses for the two of them, they secretly reached an agreement with those stars at a big discount-the price on the surface cannot be low, That will affect the subsequent pricing of their dresses.After deducting costs and high taxes (the tax is based on the face price), their real income is very little.
They would never have been able to open their Fifth Avenue store and create their official website so quickly without Ms. Bellummer helping them get a bank loan.And this store on Fifth Avenue has once again improved their brand style - Chanel on the left, Armani on the right, and Dior on the opposite. Such a high-end address is something that countless designers have to work hard for for five or ten years. !
L&C, which sponsors America's Supermodel this time, is a light luxury sub-line of R.
This is the same as the relationship between Dolce & Gabbana and d&g. Maybe some people who don’t know much about fashion will think that Dolce & Gabbana is equivalent to d&g, but those who know a little about fashion know that Dolce & Gabbana It is one of the top luxury brands, and d&g is just a light luxury sub-line of &gabbana, which is the same as giorgioarmani is a luxury brand, and emporioarmani is a sub-line brand for young people.
Like many brand designers with commercial ambitions, Lisa and Chester are also planning to start enriching their brand lines—to put it bluntly, they are making money with secondary lines while maintaining the high style of the brand, so they decided to establish this l&c brand, and the target consumer group is their mass fans - the initial price range of L&C is between US$400 and US$2000, which is affordable for ordinary middle-class girls.
As for fast-moving consumer brands such as h&m and zara, which have strong earning power, but are low-priced and follow the model of small profits and high sales, neither of them have ever thought about it.If the price of l&c becomes tens of dollars to two to three hundred dollars, it will definitely create more wealth, but in that case, the brand style of liza&r will definitely be lowered!They want to maintain the vitality of r, not consume the value of this brand!
While Chester and Britney's conversation ends, Ellie and Lisa's conversation continues.
"Oh my god, did you win five rounds of stills? That's amazing," Lisa exclaimed.
"But Lisa won more, didn't she? I remember it was a record-breaking six victories!" Yi Li smiled back, "If Chester's is counted, you two won more than half of the victories, and you won't win even once. Never had a low score!"
"If Chester wasn't here, I would definitely win more." Lisa sighed deliberately.
"I'm so sorry." Chester, who came back from Britney, sat down next to Lisa, put his arms around his fiancée's shoulder, and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I participated in that competition, I'm sorry, I That's why I met you."
At the end, he almost whispered into his fiancée's ear.
Yili noticed that although Lisa's complexion was normal, the tips of her ears turned red all of a sudden - after being shown affection by these two people, Yili's mood was a bit complicated...
As for Britney, when she saw Chester put his arms around Lisa's shoulders, she screamed in her heart.
Well, by the way, Britney is a cp fan of these two designers.
After stopping the conversation between Lisa and Ellie with actions, Chester and Lisa also chose two outfits for Ellie and Britney, let them walk around twice, and took some photos to confirm their Is it suitable for l&c? The final endorsement of this round of American supermodel is the TV commercial broadcast by l&c in North America. This contract is definitely worth millions!
After the girls were gone, the cameras stayed to capture what the two designers thought of the two models.
"What do you think, dear?" Chester said to his fiancée.
"I like Hailey better," Lisa replied, "From the moment she walked in, I said to myself: This is her! This is the girl! This is the r-girl I've been looking for!" Not l&c , it's liza&r!
"I think so too. She has a very unique temperament, which is the kind of self-confidence, beauty, and strength that belong to women, but she is not weak, only firm and strong." He held his fiancée's hand hanging by his side, just like he had done quietly in the sky bridge competition-this is a small gesture between the two of them.
"I know." The young and beautiful female designer tiptoed and kissed her fiancé gently on the cheek.
***
With 10 minutes left before the scheduled time, Ellie and Britney returned to the smashbox studio.
In fact, if it wasn't for the pleasant conversation between Eli and Lisa, they should be able to come back sooner, but Britney has no complaints about this at all-seeing the warm interaction between Chester and Lisa, it's a great feeling for her. For the fans who have followed all the way, it is definitely the happiest thing!She never imagined that Lisa and Chester would be the interview guests of America's Supermodel!
"Hayley, am I dreaming?" Britney said dazedly, "Did we interview L&C just now?"
"That's right." Eli said with a smile while pushing the door, "We also saw Lisa and Chester."
"Oh! Oh! My God!" Britney put her hands together, "I actually met Lisa and Chester!!!"
"Why do you like them so much?" Yili restrained the subtle feeling in her heart and asked curiously.
"They are good-looking, talented, serious and sincere..." Britney's words of praise are endless.
"..." Yili felt that she was going to blush.
When the two walked to the waiting room, they found that Chiara and Victoria had arrived.
"Are you back?" Chiara greeted them with a smile, "How is the interview going?"
"Not bad." Yili replied casually, and then asked Britney to sit down first—her knee was injured after all, and looked at the photographer, "Is Jones there?"
"Come right now," the photographer replied.
After the L&C interview, Yili wanted to take Britney to the hospital, but Britney said that the knee had stopped bleeding, so it’s okay, just let Jones see it after going back—this level of disinfection and cleaning is indeed the medical staff of the program group will do the job.After going to the hospital, he will definitely return late, which will affect the filming of the show.Many staff members leave work on time, and delayed shooting requires temporary overtime pay, which is not a small budget.
Since Britney was willing to put the shooting first, the photographer of course also kindly contacted Jones in advance, instead of insisting that Britney should go to the hospital - Jones has confirmed by phone that Britney's tetanus shot is still within the time limit , it is not so necessary to go to the hospital.
Almost as soon as the photographer finished speaking, Jones, a medical worker from the show, came in with a medical kit and treated Britney's knee injury.Britney's wound, which was already not so painful, also stung once because of the other party's cleaning.
"What happened to her?" Chiara said worriedly. "Is she hurt?"
"Accidentally fell down." Yili didn't add any details to speak ill of Christine, but just passed it by.
"That's a pity, I hope it doesn't affect her interview." Chiara sighed.
"..." Britney didn't feel it at first, but when Chiara said it, she immediately thought of the pair of young designers who seemed to be more affectionate to Yili, which made her even more nervous, and even glanced at Yili uneasily. Li.
"..." Yili was a little unsure whether Chiara did it on purpose...
Laura and Christine came back almost pinching points.
Upon their return, the girls were taken to the filming location, where Callie and Marcus were already waiting.
"Welcome back," Kelly said to the girls. "How was your day?"
"Not bad/great/fun..." the girls responded cooperatively.
"Very good." Kelly smiled at them, "The designers left comments for you and gave you a score between 1 and 10. The average score of the five designers is Your score this time, the score is displayed on the screen of your supermodel house, and you can see it when you go back. Next, Marcus will tell you the designer's comments."
"Thanks, Kelly." Marcus beamed at Kelly, then turned to the girls. "We're starting with Kristen."
"Christine." Marcus looked down and read the designers' comments on the blonde girl, "The designers think you are beautiful, but as a model, beauty alone is not enough, your steps are a bit unnatural. Especially the three designers you interviewed at the end felt that you were completely out of shape and didn’t pay enough attention to this interview, which was a bit of a joke.”
"..." When Christine heard the first sentence, there was still a smile on her face, but when she heard the last sentence, she gritted her teeth unwillingly—at that time, after she made Britney accidentally fall down, she was full of tears. Thinking that he was about to be kicked out of the competition by the director, he naturally behaved a little out of order under the flustered state of mind, but Laura didn't want to comfort her, and even showed that she ignored her and wanted to draw a line with her, driving blindly It's so selfish to rush to the interview and only care about her own performance!
But at this point in the competition, Christine also knew that what the judges disliked the most were contestants' arguments and complaints, so she could only forcefully suppress her grievances, and quietly glared at Laura and Britney, and Yili, who has a physique of attracting hatred in this competition——Ili is really lying on the ground this time...
"Britney, the designers think you're bubbly and cute, but there's still room for improvement."
In other words, the designers didn't think Britney was good enough.
"Laura, the designers love your shape, but think your steps are a bit stiff."
"Chiara, the designers think you are very energetic and approachable, but your steps need to be improved."
"Victoria, you performed well today, but the designers feel that your temperament is difficult to define."
"Hailey, most of the designers admire you very much, and think that you have outstanding photos and the best steps."
In fact, Kaili couldn’t help but wonder if the designers thought that other girls’ performances were not good because they saw Haili’s relationship—leaving aside the photo quality (in fact, Hai Li’s photo level is also extremely good), Hailey's steps have always been the best among girls, even in all seasons of America's Supermodel, they are among the best.
Let Kelly say that it is definitely a professional-level step, the kind that can skip further training from a modeling agency and go directly to the Big Four!In contrast, the steps of other girls seem too shabby or immature...
"Next, we're going to announce the signing of each of you." Kelly said to the girls-her eyes unconsciously stopped on the quiet smiling girl, who she and Marcus knew this time How wonderful.Seeing the look on the girl's face as if she was sure of winning, Kelly faintly felt a hint of arrogance.
"The first one is Lulu Guinness, the queen of teenage handbags in England and even the world. Her choice is—" Marcus dragged his voice, glanced at the expectant girls, and smiled slightly. Finally, it stopped on the girl who was too good to be frightening, "Hailey! Congratulations, you got your first contract!"
"Oh, thank you! Thank you, thank you Mrs. Guinness!" Even if the designer personally hinted, but Yi Li and Britney are the first girls to reach Lulu Guinness, it is hard to say that after the two of them , Mrs. Guinness will not fall in love with other girls.So, realizing that Mrs. Guinness really liked her and chose her, Yili was very happy.
"Second is Whitney Porter, the partner chosen by the big star is-" Marcus smiled again at the girl, "Hayley, congratulations! Wow, you've got two contract!"
"Thank you, Marcus! I'm glad Whitney chose me too." Eli said to Marcus with a smile.
However, Yi Li was not surprised by Whitney's choice.This celebrity designer who values resumes has almost no resistance to Yili's six-match five wins, not to mention, Yili's steps are nothing to criticize.For Whitney, choosing Yili is probably a matter of course.
"I think the other girls are going to be upset if you win again, don't you?" Marcus winks playfully.
"Oh, please..." With the chance to speak out given by Marcus, the girls almost took the opportunity to complain—they couldn't bear the thought of this girl also winning three consecutive victories in the contract!
Judging from the games of previous seasons, there are not many such terrible triple kills—there are, and there are even quadruple kills, but the frequency of occurrence is very low.A lot of the time, one person gets two contracts, someone else gets one contract or none, and the person who gets two contracts wins.There are really very few players with three kills and four kills who can suppress everyone with their own strength!
The girls couldn't believe that Hailey was one of them, or that this girl would still beat them all this time!The girls feel that they are no different from Hailey!If Haili really wins three consecutive victories, she will definitely be even more arrogant!absolute! ! !
Just thinking about that possibility makes the girls chest tight...
Viewers and fans, of course, don't feel that way.
From their perspective, Haili and the other girls are hardly on the same level, and the other girls are definitely being crushed!To put it bluntly, except for Haili, the overall strength of the other girls in this season is not strong, and they will be eliminated early in the season with strong opponents.And Haili is obviously not on the same level as them. Even if Haili is put in the death season, Haili is not without strength!
This is probably the so-called obsession with the authorities, clear to the bystanders.
"OK." Receiving the waves of resentment from the girls, Marcus also raised his hands in surrender, "The next one is the youngest designer in Los Angeles, Cecilia Cassini, her choice is—"
Don't be Hailey!Don't be Hailey!Don't be Hailey!The girls are praying together again!
As long as it's against that girl, everyone else seems to be especially in tune.
This is what people say - with a common enemy, the cohesion of the team is stronger than ever.
The smarter girl has already guessed that since Marcus said that, Hayley must not have gotten Cassini's contract!
They looked at Marcus almost expectantly, waiting for Marcus to hit the girl in the face hard!
As for that girl already got two contracts?Maybe the girl wasn't expecting the contract at all?The girls said that they didn't know at all! ! !
This time, Marcus looked at the ginger-haired girl standing next to Yili, "Britney, congratulations!"
"Oh, my God, my God!" Compared to Yi Li's calm thank you, Britney almost burst into tears!
What girl knows what it's like to interview with Hailey?
Seeing Haili conquer the designers time and time again with her photos and steps, watching Haili and the designers have a good conversation, watching the designers look at Haili with approval, the pressure on Britney is getting stronger and stronger. It was getting heavier and heavier, almost crushing her!
But, but!She still snatched a contract from Hailey!
Thinking of this made Britney very excited!
Hailey is just one contract ahead of her!
And she, with the first one, has the second one, and the third one!She still has a chance to win!
Another one, and she will be even with Hailey!One more time, and she will be able to turn defeat into victory!
At this moment, Britney was almost dazzled by the instant ecstasy!
"Thank you, thank you!" Britney said incoherently, barely remembering to thank the guests.
"Congratulations." Marcus smiled tolerantly at Britney, ignoring her belated thanks.
From the previous expressions of the other girls, Marcus could sense what kind of status Yili held in their hearts—by visual inspection, she was the Great Demon King, right?Marcus thought silently.Moreover, he is still the kind of big devil who contrasts other people as a control group.
That being the case, it's not hard to understand Britney's ecstasy when she was assigned to be in the same group as the Great Demon King and snatched a precious contract from him...
The reactions of the other girls were much more flat--Hailey's miss is of course worthy of their champagne, but since she hasn't broken zero yet, it's better to be more reserved.However, if he can counter-kill Haili and get the next two most important big contracts, then he can overtake Haili!Thinking of this, I'm a little excited...
"The next one is Gales, this big international company." Marcus announced, "And Gales's preferred model is—" Looking at the pair of beautiful big eyes full of expectation, Ma Kus felt a little unbearable, and could hardly bear to sympathize with these girls, because they were destined to...
"Hayley!" Marcus' announcement nearly shattered the girls' last hope of victory.
Out of five contracts, four were announced, and Hayley got three by herself.
Impossible, absolutely impossible, it is impossible for them to turn defeat into victory.
So, did they lose again in this round of challenges?Lost to this girl?
At this moment, the girls wanted to throw Hailey out of America's Next Top Model in a sack! ! !
"Thank you!" Yili immediately thanked Marcus.
However, thinking of Sarah’s extremely enthusiastic attitude as a senior sales executive when she left Gales (Sarah actually wants to have a good relationship with Lala now, so that it will be easier to talk about endorsements in the future... Of course, in the future, this It’s so far-sighted! Sarah privately thinks that this is the smartest decision in her life! No one!), and Yili is not very surprised about this contract.
Of course, the joy that should be expressed still needs to be shown, in order to show respect for this "amazing" brand, and to show that I am overjoyed and flattered after being selected...
"The last one, l&c, Lisa and Chester - these two designers who designed award-winning gowns for Oscar queens is a newly established light luxury brand. What they are looking for is not just poster models, but Models in TV commercials on TV all over North America!" Marcus said to the girls with a look of excitement, but he shed tears of sympathy for them in his heart.
"Ah—" the girls all screamed!Just one, as long as you get this one, you can instantly kill all Haili's previous ones!That's just a poster model, they are not rare! ! !This opportunity to make it to the small screen, to be shown on every home TV in North America as a TV commercial is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Of course, there are also girls who are a little bit more rational and secretly worried in their hearts - if they can't get this contract again, then this challenge will have zero results. This is too embarrassing, too embarrassing, it is simply a humiliation!
"And the model Lisa and Chester chose is—" Marcus' eyes slowly swept over every girl present, each girl's heart was deeply touched by his gaze, and the big eyes opened Watching him move ~human~ lips without blinking, just waiting for him to say his name!It must be yours, please!God bless!
"Congratulations again—" Just hearing the first half of the sentence, the fiery hearts of the three girls suddenly turned cold, as if a large basin of ice water was suddenly poured on the hot charcoal basin, making a sizzling sound ——This is the sound of their heartache.Only Britney looked at Marcus with hope, she knew that she still had a chance to win this contract that meant everything to her!
"Hayley!" Marcus called out Lucky's name as the other girls widened their eyes in disbelief!
Why is it her again?
It's good to get the first three contracts, why don't you give them any chance?
How could the designers, and that girl, be so cold and heartless?
why her?
Why always her?
The girls wept silently in their hearts.
Even one is fine, as long as one is fine!
Even if it's not a TV commercial model, it's better than nothing if it's just a poster model!
But, they just have nothing!Nothing at all! nothing! None!
At this moment, the hands were twisted unconsciously behind the back, the fingers were unintentionally pinching the corners of the clothes, the toes were grinding the ground furiously, the upper and lower teeth were grinding fiercely, and the eyes were unconsciously casting poison...
The camera is simply too busy to shoot!
"Thank you! Thank you, Marcus! And those two designers!" Yili thanked Marcus again.
The last and most important contract is also the one she is most confident about!
As long as Lisa is still in this brand, as long as Lisa still has her right to speak, Yili can guarantee that she is her favorite model, and she is the one most likely to win the contract!
In this world, no one knows what Lisa likes better than her!
Chester couldn't, and neither could Lisa, because that was her life!
The life she created by herself!
