[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show

After the competition, a modeling agency came to approach the girls.

This issue of America's Next Top Model provides the champion with the opportunity to sign contracts with Los Angeles Modeling Agency (dels) and New York Modeling Agency, and can also participate in the fashion trend photo shoot of Nylon Magazine, and obtain advertising campaign contracts with Ninewest and Smashbox, These are a great start for a new model.

The premise is that the img model agency (dels) did not intervene.

Maybe dels is just one of the best modeling agencies in the fashion field, not really a leader.But the parent company of this company, img, spans many fields such as fashion circle, sports circle and media circle, and is the largest cross-border brokerage company in the world—one of them!

Many well-known superstars come from this company.For example, the most expensive model in the world, Gisele Bundchen belongs to the img modeling agency, Bundchen's ex-boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio belongs to the img entertainment agency, Bundchen's later husband Tom Brandy (the famous American football player, American football is the first national sport in the United States, his fame in the United States is not lower than that of Michael Jordan) belongs to the img sports agency company.

In order to maintain the influence of the company, the managers of img will of course continue to discover potential newcomers.Of course, not only img spares no effort in this regard, other top model agencies will also do the same.Only by the continuous influx of fresh blood into the company can the vitality and development of the company be maintained.

In fact, on the night of the finals, not only the managers of the Los Angeles Modeling Agency and the New York Modeling Agency, which sponsored this episode, came to the show to inspect these potential girls, and even some top modeling agencies sent representatives.

img model agency, next model agency, ford model agency, these big companies headquartered in New York have all seen the strength of the girls in this issue of America's Supermodel.

But this does not mean that other modeling companies—such as viva, karin, etc., are not indifferent to girls. However, if you are tempted, you still have to consider many realities.

There are too many monks, there are only a few of these girls who really have supermodel potential-these modeling agencies are not signed by non-top models (even if the reputation is not obvious temporarily, but they must have this potential), so-so They don't pay much attention to girls, so the total number of contracted models of the company is usually kept at around 300;

Second, their headquarters are not in New York, but in Paris, Milan, Hamburg and other places. Even if they like these girls, they have no competitive advantage compared with those big companies in the United States;

Three points: There are many potential models in their own country, and each agency has its own sphere of influence. They will pay attention to new faces from other countries, but generally they pay more attention to discovering potential models around their own country, so they don’t want to be big. Coming all the way—especially when running would probably be in vain.

After this issue of America's Next Top Model, these sharp-eyed brokers in the United States also saw girls with little fame on the Internet-and this fame can be turned into money.If it works well, the fame of the girls is not just a quick sum of money—in fact, the more well-established a big company is, the less willing it is to kill the chicken and take the eggs, but a steady stream of golden snowballs!

Compared with those little-known girls who debuted in modeling competitions, or some girls who came from majors and worked hard from scratch, these girls who have been on the National Supermodel already have a very big advantage in popularity.However, many of them do not have enough talent to support them to go on - the reality show competition is not all about strength, but more about ratings and other factors. This is also the follow-up development of many champions but not as good as the runner-up , the second runner-up, and compared to professional models, many of them have no reputation and no strength, and in the end they wasted their original high starting point.

This is also the reason why representatives of these modeling agencies came to watch the last show in person - for them, getting a ticket for the final of America's Next Top Model is just a matter of phone calls.In other words, the America's Next Top Model program would have sent invitations to these big companies in the fashion industry.It's just that most of the time, they are not interested in girls with mediocre talents.

This time, these big agencies were finally invited, and even planned to intervene in the contract between the two original sponsors - New York Modeling Agency and Los Angeles Modeling Agency - with the champion, but both companies Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

This is also something that can’t be helped. Compared with those multinational brokerage companies, they are small local brokerage companies-in fact, they are not very small, but compared to those big players in the industry, they are indeed small shrimps-at all There is no competitiveness, so I can only obediently be snatched by the tiger's mouth.After all, in the final analysis, their contract is a reward for the champion, not a punishment.Since it is a reward, the champion can of course choose to accept or reject it.

Naturally, after discussing with the other party and confirming the sincerity of the other party, Yili immediately chose to accept img's olive branch.Of course, img's internal competition is much fiercer than that of la model agency and ny model agency - its high threshold also determines its high competitiveness, but its resources and connections in the circle are by no means comparable to those of small companies .

As long as there is still a little ambition in the industry, there is no doubt that if you want to walk on the catwalks of the four major fashion weeks, you will eventually fall into the arms of big companies.Only big companies can approach big brands and get high-quality contracts for their models, but small companies?Sorry, the doors of top brands are not open to them at all, let alone catwalk and endorsement opportunities, it is hard to say whether there is even an interview opportunity.

Yili's choice is not even realistic, it can only be said that people with normal judgment will do it.

Even the program team, Taila, or the two agency companies that originally sponsored couldn't say anything about Yili's choice.With the same position, who would give up the opportunity to work for a multinational company and work for a small local company?High competition, high return, or low competition, low return, as long as there is a career-minded person, he will know how to choose.

After Yili, Lila signed to Next Modeling Agency and became Rob's colleague - Rob's agency is Next.For the girls, this is unbelievable. After all, Lila's two consecutive falls on the flyover in the final were too unsightly. Very realistic, they look at the girl's potential.Lila was a girl with potential, there was no doubt about it.In this case, as long as the problem of stepping is solved, this girl will definitely have a lot to do.In the model agency, the most indispensable thing is the training course.

In short, both Yili and Leila signed very smoothly.However, it's not without hiccups.Both companies actually expressed their affection for them, but the two decided not to sign the same one tacitly - this is inevitable, both are models who were born in America's Supermodel, and they are similar in age and position. Once they are in the same company, There will definitely be an internal battle between the two.Instead of consuming the little friendship between the two, it is better to go their own way and compete normally in the fashion circle in the future. After each has established a firm foothold, they may even get closer.

In addition, Victoria signed ford.In the fashion circle, ford, next, and img are all top-notch.

However, she encountered a little trouble at the beginning-Ford's agent representative had the same misgivings as Rob, worrying that Victoria's ability to withstand stress was not enough, and she was too dependent on her family, which would limit her career development.But being able to persevere until the end of the game and dedicating wonderful still photos when the pressure is the most, this girl is not without a stubborn side in her heart.

After much consideration, the other party still signed Victoria.At least, this girl still has talent, her face is also very unique, and her figure is very thin - even if Tyra was worried about Victoria's unhealthy problems caused by being too thin, but for the fashion circle, as long as she is not so thin that she looks ugly, of course the thinner she is the better!Health and other things have never been considered in the high-end fashion circle, and crazy weight loss is the norm in this circle.In this sense, in fact, Victoria still has a lot of advantages, and many people in the circle will envy her easy-to-thin physique.

Afterwards, the other girls who had gone further away also more or less signed to the brokerage company.Of course, it is definitely not at the level of img, next, and ford.In fact, it is very rare for the three of them to be signed to such a good modeling agency in all seasons of America's Supermodel.Even, in some weak seasons, even the championship could not get any of these three contracts!

It can only be said that this online interaction has indeed brought higher attention and popularity to the girls. As long as they show the strength that matches this popularity in the future, their road will be wider and wider .Of course, if they can't bear this weight, then sooner or later this popularity will dissipate, and they will become penniless again.

Having said that, on the night of the finals, various modeling agencies really came here.Of course, there are still a small number of big brokerage companies, but there are many small and medium-sized companies.While envious of the generous contracts of the top three, the other girls could only sign the contracts of small companies with envy and jealousy.At least, it's better than nothing, isn't it?

There are so many models in the world, but only a handful of them can actually sign to a big company and become the top in the industry. Most of them can only sign to small and medium-sized companies, and they are just ordinary commercial models throughout their lives.And most of them are peripheral girls who can't even be signed by a modeling agency. They can only do some part-time modeling jobs, and they will never be able to enter the real door of this industry for life.

Kate would have been one of those girls too.

Met a small agency that is not too big, looked each other in the eye, signed a not-so-bad contract, and then started her modeling career, sinking and falling among many commercial models, waiting for her possible opportunity - of course , more likely not even a chance.It is difficult for a small company to have any available resources, and if there are resources, it may not be able to be allocated to her...

But how could Eli let this happen?

Kate is not without talent, she's just not that talented.If she really had zero talent, she would not be able to pass the audition for America's Supermodel, pass the preliminaries, and complete another round of competitions...

There may be audience factors in this-Kate's public ratings have always been good, but if her strength is really too weak, the program team will not really let her advance all the way.If the gap is too obvious, the program will be questioned as unfair, and the audience will not buy it.Therefore, Kate's promotion has luck, but also strength.

All Ellie can do is give Kate a chance to do her best.

Instead of signing with a small company with little chance of getting ahead now, it is better to contact the brokerage company after the real professional training.If Kate happens to be the kind of model who is not good at still photos but good at catwalks, this training might give her a chance to sign with a good company.Even in the worst case, if the training effect is not obvious, there are still those small companies guaranteeing the bottom line.

Now that the show is far from over, Kate's aura of America's Supermodel has not faded, and she has come out of img's internal training. For some small companies, she is a very good model resource.Now Kate doesn't worry about the brokerage company, only a good brokerage company.If this training is successful, she might have the chance to walk on the high-level flyover!

At this moment, when Yili proposed to let Kate participate in img's internal training together, her new manager agreed without hesitation.He was already optimistic about the girl's future, so it was not difficult for him to agree to such a request that was not considered a request.

In the final analysis, for those who have been in the industry long enough, it only takes a few shows and a few hard photos to see how far a model can go.As for luck and opportunity, img dares to say that they are the luck and opportunity of this girl. As long as this girl doesn't mess around, it is not impossible for her to reach the top of the industry.

Internal training is rarely one-on-one, so there is not much difference between one-on-five and one-on-six.This level of request is just an initial gesture of cooperation between the two parties.

Some girls may think that Yili's opening is too bold, but for those who work in the industry, the opportunity that is so precious to outsiders is just a matter of effort for them.

Yi Li's behavior was not abrupt at all, and she knew it herself.Just like when she was an intern in an investment bank, many top fashion brands were clients of the company, and her boss could get gifts every year for those expensive luxury goods for ordinary people.If you want more, you can also buy it directly at an internal price of about [-]%.

A girl who was intern with Yili at that time was always envious of this, but it was only envious, and she didn't dare to ask more questions, after all, she was just a cautious intern.It wasn't until one time that the boss heard the girl's envy to Yili in secret, that he told her that if she wanted, she could also buy it at the internal price.The girl was very surprised.But the fact is that, for outsiders, things that are out of reach are just casual for insiders.

The girls determined their own development, and their respective agents and program groups discussed the follow-up matters.

For example, Yili's new agent will have to determine working hours and remuneration with the program crew regarding her existing contract.For example, the contract with ninewest and smashbox advertising campaign, the award of 13 US dollars for the program group and tax payment (this is a competition that Yili herself completed before signing the contract. Participated in Alicia's new record promotion and advertising campaign (Eli won the charity dinner catwalk challenge), consultations with the Jamaica Tourism Board (Eli also won the promotional video challenge hosted by Miss Jamaica Indy), There are also the 3D game expansion film for the game studio, the four brand contracts obtained during the interview, and still photos of fashion trends from Nylon Magazine...

It is conceivable that after the show ended, she had a rather busy working time.

Moreover, Yili's new agent also has great expectations for her.

September and October are the seasons when the four major fashion weeks hold the spring and summer fashion shows of the following year.For big names, the selection of models has already ended, and everything about the catwalk is almost settled, but the most indispensable thing in the world is accidents.For a variety of reasons, there are always models who can't show up for the shows they are supposed to be on. In this case, modeling agencies have a lot to offer.

Yili's new agent is targeting this vacancy.It was too late for a normal interview, and what he could fight for this girl was a substitute interview opportunity.And compared to other girls, she has an unparalleled advantage - she has her own topic!

America's Next Top Model is still on the air, her influence on the Internet has not yet cooled down, and she herself has very professional steps - who knows how that came about, but the manager doesn't care about this, his precise eyes have already judged It turns out that this girl needs no further training! img's internal training is no longer applicable to her!She can walk onto the sky bridge of the four majors in no time!

And what he has to do is to bring this girl to designers who are annoyed by the absence of the original model, and let her conquer them by herself!While the formal modeling interviews aren't exactly the same as the ones on the show, she beats so many opponents that she wins four out of five interviews by herself (god forbid she didn't get Cecilia's contract, otherwise he would have to worry about how to turn it down——Mr. Manager is secretly glad), it shows that she has strengths in interviews!

As long as she can win one or two catwalk opportunities in the top four this time, he can let her get more in the fashion week in February next year!After all, a model who has runway shows with big names is not treated the same as a complete newcomer!Just like ordinary job interviews, generally speaking, people with internship experience and work experience can always get more job opportunities and find better jobs than pure newcomers.It's all the same thing.

"After returning to the United States, we will start working." On the plane flying back to the United States from Jamaica, before taking off, the manager stood beside Yili's seat, pushed his glasses, and said to Yili, "Everyone National designers, as long as they need, we will fly over to interview them."

"I understand, thank you." Yili nodded to the other party.Generally speaking, an agent must have more than one model under him. The other party is willing to do his best to plan her development route and contact various designers. It is already very good. Now she also said that she would fly around with her and participate in various interviews. This is definitely a responsible and optimistic expression.

"Very well, then take a good rest. You will be very busy for a while." And it may be a waste of work. Although the probability of this is small, it is not impossible.After all, designers are also very eye-catching.If the style doesn't fit, that's okay.The manager didn't say these words, but Yili understood what he meant.

"Okay, thank you." Yili thanked again.

The manager quickly walked back to his seat and sat down, before Ellie smiled at Kate who was next to her across the aisle.

"Hayley is amazing. Not only has she signed with img, but she can also go to the Big Four!" Kate looked at Yili with bright eyes.

"Kate will be able to go one day." Yili shook her head and replied softly.

That's what she's here for.

It is true that there is talent in things like stepping—the aura of a top model is different from that of ordinary models, but acquired hard work is also very important.There are so many expensive commercial models who can't appear on the catwalks of many big brands, because of the problem of aura and steps.

Those models have adapted to the lively and relaxed atmosphere of the commercial show, and their steps are gradually finalized. They cannot and cannot change themselves-even if they really work hard, they may not be favored by the high-end fashion circle.In this case, instead of relying on both ends, it is better to focus on the commercial route.At least, if the business route is taken to the extreme, one can also become a supermodel.

And Kate still has a chance, she hasn't been finalized yet.

If there is room for improvement, if there is a direction to work hard, she is not without opportunities.Kate is not without talent, she has talent, but not enough talent.Maybe that limits Kate's ceiling, but that limitation doesn't necessarily make sense.In this world, who can give full play to their talents?

100 talent, 50% of the effort, is the result of 50, 80 talent, 80% of the effort, is the result of 64.Judging from the results alone, the latter is still better than the former.The most desperate thing in the world is to find out that people who are more talented than you are also working hard when you are working hard.That being the case, when others exert 50% of their efforts, they should put in 80% or 90% of their efforts!

Before the effort is put in, before the result appears, it is a failure to say that it is not as good as it is.Even if the final result comes out and it is found that the other party's talent cannot be caught up with hard work, or that the other party's level of effort is not inferior to mine, but at least, compared with people with the same talent as myself, I have also walked ahead because of this hard work.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard...the plane is about to take off, please close..."

In the night, accompanied by the gentle voice of the flight attendant, the girls stopped talking, each checked their seat belts, and waited for the plane to take off.

After a gallop on the ground, the fuselage slowly tilted upward, and after a period of lift-off, it finally entered the stratosphere.

The fuselage quickly became stable, and the lights on the plane were dimmed one after another. The passengers asked the flight attendant for a blanket and took a nap.

"Good night, Hailey." Kate wrapped herself in a blanket, only showing her face, and whispered good night to Yili.

"Good night, Kate." Yi Li also lowered her voice and said good night to Kate with a smile without disturbing other passengers.

"Hmm." Seeing her friend's soft and beautiful smiling face, Kate fell asleep contentedly.

Seeing Kate gradually falling asleep, with a slight smile on her peacefully sleeping face, Yili felt extremely soft-hearted.

She leaned her head lightly on the shoulder of the person next to her, and looked at Kate's sleeping face without blinking her eyes.

"It's time to go." Xie Cheng reminded her softly in her ear.

"I know." Yili nodded slightly on his shoulder.

For her, the end of this "life" is midnight when the game ends.

Just like Cinderella's magic expires at twelve o'clock, the time belonging to "Eli" also ends at twelve o'clock.

After that, it's time for "Hayley".

Five thousand points, 50 years.

"Goodbye, Kate."

The minute hand was getting closer and closer to the top mark, and Yili also said goodbye to her friend softly.

Haomeng's friend had a quiet smile on his lips and didn't answer her.

By the time Kate wakes up, Hayley won't be "Hayley."

Thinking of this, Yili unbuckled her seat belt, turned sideways, and gently touched the girl's soft long hair and warm cheek.

She will never forget how Kate supported her, stayed with her, treated her as a friend and treated her genuinely during this exhausting game.It is also because of this trust and this companionship that she is stronger and never weak.

"Thank you, Kate."

Yili sat back in her seat, fastened her seat belt again, and exchanged glances with her lover.

What she saw reflected in the other person's eyes was a Western girl with short golden brown hair and blue eyes.

She knew that what was reflected in her eyes was a western man with brown hair and brown eyes, not a Chinese with black hair and black eyes.

This is not true after all.

"Let's go back," she whispered.

"Okay." The other party lowered his head and left a soft kiss on her forehead.

She could feel the other's warm palm slowly sticking to the back of her hand, holding it gently.

She shakes back.

"Return to the main city." She said in her heart.

"Received." The system replied inorganically.

This time, she didn't go back alone.
