It's not easy to be a supermodel [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

"This cover is really good, but I still like the back cover that Leticia took for "Harper's Bazaar" when she first debuted." Annie covered this "VOGUE", and the black-haired beauty on the cover looked at it with a half-smile The lens, the delicate face is flawless, and a pair of smoky eyes seem to take away your soul at any time.

Because she liked it so much, Annie bought three copies herself—one for collection, one for posters, and one for Amway...

"You mean the "Harper's Bazaar" shot with the snake?" Sandra's eyes lit up, "Oh my God, I love that set of photos! Too bad it's no longer available..."

Annie raised her eyebrows proudly, and couldn't wait to share it with her friends: "I bought a copy on e-bay earlier, and it cost me 20 yuan."

Sandra looked surprised, "Isn't it? Magazines can also be fired?"

"Who said that was Letty's first magazine? It means a lot to us, like a singer's first album."

Annie's classmate, the blond girl, noticed the magazine on the table and came over curiously, "Isn't this the model that's always been reported recently? What's it called... Lopez?"

"It's Leticia Lopez." Sandra kindly reminded her.

"Oh, by the way, Leticia, she has the same surname as Jennifer Lopez, but I only remember her last name." The blonde girl said, "I followed her Twitter and saw her daily updates and photos. , even I have longed for the modeling industry."

"Yeah, her twitter is almost like bewitched, it's exactly what I dreamed of." Sandra put her hands on her chin, her face turned toward "Who wouldn't want to be her? Please, I'd like to use my current Twitter account." Everything is exchanged with her!"

Annie teased her and said, "Whether you want it or not, she is only 20 years old, but I am afraid that she will live a more wonderful life than our whole life."

"Isn't this obvious? If I can have her face and figure, is there any man in this world that I can't date?" The blonde girl said exaggeratedly, and Annie and Sandra both nodded in agreement, " But she has remained single all this time, obviously she can get in touch with so many outstanding men, if even Leticia Lopez can't find a boyfriend, then I will definitely be single for the rest of my life."

"Maybe she is dating someone in secret, but it's just not public. Many celebrities choose to do this. The relationship that is not exposed lasts longer than the relationship that is exposed." Sandra paused, and then added in a low voice, "Of course, I hope that It's Bruce Wayne."

Since Letty and Bruce are on good terms (seemingly), there has been speculation as to whether or not they are dating, but no one has ever been able to take pictures of their date, either they are doing a good job of keeping it secret, or they are just friends.

Of course, Sandra is more inclined to the former, because their interaction on Twitter is so loving!And since breaking up with his ex-girlfriend, Bruce Wayne hasn't started a new relationship. Doesn't this mean that the two are having fun?

Annie raised the corner of her mouth and pointed her out: "Sandra, haven't you ever thought that Leticia is curvy?"

"No way?!" Sandra reacted a lot at first, but after Annie mentioned it, she realized that the possibility was really not small.

Since they met Letty, she has never admitted to a relationship, and there are many scandals, so what is the reason for her staying single?She is young and beautiful, and it is not difficult to meet the opposite sex at all, unless... what she wants to meet is not the opposite sex.

If there is any circle in the world with the highest proportion of homosexuality, it must be the fashion circle, and there are so many beautiful girls in the model circle, isn't it a matter of minutes to change...

Sandra is not homophobic, but she doesn't particularly accept homosexuality, but she thinks of Letty standing with another female model (she imagines Freya who is more handsome and has a good relationship with Letty). How seductive, she suddenly had a strange idea - maybe Leticia is the same?

Apart from work, fans are of course most concerned about their idol's relationship status. If Leti knew that her fans had started to question her sexual orientation, she would probably not be able to laugh or cry.

It is not the first time that she has been questioned, because she has been single for a long time, and she is too "prominent" in the United States, where love is generally early and open to relationships between men and women.

If she is ugly, or there are no men in the working environment, it is not surprising that she is single, but people have an inherent impression of beautiful women that they have rich experience in relationships, and there are naturally many suitors who are good-looking, especially those who are particularly good-looking. A suitor, so when I heard that she was single, my first reaction was unbelievable.

In the social environment of the West, people don’t dislike celebrity dating, that’s their freedom. It’s normal for men to have sex with women. As long as there are no promiscuous or fake love, it’s basically okay. It's going to be too much of a problem.

But fans who expect her to fall in love are destined to be disappointed, because Letty has no time to fall in love at all, and there is only less than a week before the Victoria's Secret show. The gym also hired a personal fitness trainer to monitor and urge her to perform in the best condition.

This year's six units are FemmeFatale (fatal girl or femme fatale, in literature is the magical beauty who commands men to be fascinated), CoquettishFetish (infatuated obsession), ComeFlyWithMe (stewardess theme), PINK, HighlandRomance (Highland Romance) and WinterWonderlandofGlacialGoddeses ( Winter Goddess).

Letty will participate in the two units of CoquettishFetish and WinterWonderland, and will be closing for WinterWonderland, which is also a big closing.

By the way, this year’s model is still Giselle, her aura and steps are the best choice, while fantasybra falls into the hands of KK—it should be said, her breasts.

This year's fantasybra is named TheHeartsonFireDiamondFantasyBra (HeartsonFireDiamondFantasyBra), which will appear in the WinterWonderland unit.

This is the second time that KK has worn FB. The last time was in 2002, which cost 1000 million The Star of Victoria Fantasy Bra (Victoria Star Bra).However, this year's FB has reduced the price by 600 million US dollars compared with last year!Everyone said that this year's Victoria's Secret is very sluggish, otherwise how could it cut prices by 600 million in one go?

But in fact, it may not be related to the downturn. You must know that since 1999, the annual FB price has not been less than 1000 million. It can be said that it is "inhumane". However, no one is willing to buy these FBs back after the show. ——To be honest, how many people would be willing to spend 1000 million to buy a diamond bra that can only be used as a decoration?

If you spend tens of millions to build a FB, but you can't sell it afterwards, isn't Victoria's Secret losing money?Actually not, FB will be on display for a period of time after the big show, after that Victoria’s Secret will ask craftsmen to remove the diamonds, gems and crystals from the bra one by one for other purposes or sell them.

This year, Victoria's Secret is not willing to spend a lot of money on FB for no reason. In the past, Victoria's Secret's reputation was not as great as it is now. Different gimmicks are needed as selling points to attract the attention of the public. FB is one of them.

And now that the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has become the most eye-catching underwear show in the world, the role of FB is not as obvious as before, but it is impossible to cancel FB directly. After all, who performs FB every year is always talked about by people. Things are a tradition.

It's not that Letty has longed for FB. Wearing a sky-high priced bra is a cool thing, but FB rarely falls on "outsiders". As the ultimate best treatment, FB should of course be reserved for your own people.

She doesn't want to leave HF for the time being (although the outside world is bragging that she wants to transform), and she has no plans to sign a contract with Victoria's Secret. Moreover, she still has Versace's global endorsement on her body, so it is not worth giving up a red blood brand for a commercial endorsement global endorsement.

……

On November [-]th, when netizens were browsing celebrity gossip websites, they accidentally saw an article updated by "TheSuperficial": "Leeticia Lopez and Miranda Kerr are at odds? She makes the rookie lose his wings!"

Superficial means "superficial" in English, which seems to be a slight satire on celebrities and gossip fans.It doesn't get as much traffic as "gossip king" TMZ, but it's not far behind.

Familiar with the name "Leticia Lopez", they clicked on the title, and after a few seconds, they jumped to the page of the article.

The article pointed out that a Victoria’s Secret employee who did not want to disclose his identity revealed during the interview week that Victoria’s Secret originally assigned a set of wings to Miranda Kerr. Miranda, who had wings for the first time, was very happy , but not long after being happy, Victoria's Secret suddenly withdrew this set of looks and redistributed them to Leticia, which made her sad for a long time.

Some readers have a question: Miranda Kerr?Who?

After searching the Internet, they found out that she was an Australian female model who entered the industry at the age of 13, but she did not get attention for many years. It was not until she moved to New York in 2004 that she signed a contract with WOMEN at the same time as Letty. catwalk career.

Compared with Letty, her reputation is not too great - from the difference in the number of Twitter fans between the two, it can be seen that Letty has more than 200 million or almost 300 million, and she is only in her early 30. She has never been to HF, only She has shown her face in big names such as Roberto Cavalli, Levi's and LAMB, and has never been on the cover of influential magazines like the four major "VOGUE", so many people don't know her. This time her name is the same as Letty Together they knew for the first time that this person existed.

Miranda Kerr's career officially took off this year. She appeared on the reality show "Project Runway" hosted by Heidi, and also shot advertisements for Maybelline and Victoria's Secret. After the big show, she is likely to be with Victoria's Secret again. It was only after signing the contract that the company took a fancy to her commercial value and wanted to use Letty's fame to support her.

The report is accompanied by two extra-large photos, one is a spot photo of Letty walking in Victoria's Secret last year, and the other is a photo of Miranda attending an event. When the photos of the two are put together, it is obvious that they are in style The difference in personality——Miranda is sweet and pleasant, she is sexy and glamorous, people who don't know them are more likely to like Miranda at first sight, and the temperament of the girl next door is easy to make people stay with her. impression, but people who don’t know Letty may feel that she is aloof and difficult to get along with, and she loses in the point of being “approachable”.

Letty's fans have something to say about this - yes, they thought Letty was a "coolgirl" at first, who made her have an arrogant and world-weary indifferent face, but after following her Twitter, They found a completely different Leticia Lopez than they imagined - she likes to post funny photos, such as last month's Halloween, she dressed herself as an oriental zombie and took a video , full of desire to perform; anyone who has seen her interviews or even seen her in real life knows that Leticia is actually a girl who loves to laugh, and she always responds to fans' requests for group photos.

Fans do not deny that they were indeed fans of Letty's appearance at the beginning, but they really fell in love with her after getting to know her personality.

When Letty saw this report in Martin's office, she couldn't help admiring Ed's brains. He made up the story perfectly and avoided negative impact on their image-people didn't blame Letty. This is Victoria's Secret's decision, and I just sympathized with the newcomer named Miranda, and complained about Victoria's Secret's back-and-forth.

"This is just the first step. According to our plan, Miranda Kerr will be interviewed tomorrow, and she will disclose to the media that she heard a rumor that you asked Victoria's Secret to change her look. It will be your turn to be interviewed the day after tomorrow to clarify. Rumors, have you memorized all the answers?" Martin asked Letty who was looking down at the newspaper while checking the schedule on the PDA.

Letty folded the newspaper, her eyes were full of resentment, "A serious question, can this 'script' be revised?" She cleared her throat, began to enter the scene, and recited a few degrees higher: "'I never' snatched 'I have never interfered with anyone's things, and I have never interfered with the decisions of Victoria's Secret's top management. I don't know why Ms. Kerr spread such untrue rumors. As a public figure, it is basic self-cultivation to think twice before speaking, especially They are rumors that are not highly credible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to others'—”

After finishing speaking, Letty couldn't help complaining: "This answer has completely destroyed my personality, right? This has caused a war... Is Ed Lasak trying to trick me on purpose?"

Martin raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly, "You don't look very happy."

"Am I supposed to be happy? If this was in a novel, my character would be a scheming whore." Letty first rolled his eyes, then glanced at the manager lightly, and suddenly leaned forward, "Are you right? Didn't they have the slightest precaution? We didn't even sign a contract or non-disclosure agreement for this hype. We only have the recording, and it's still in the hands of Ed Lasak. If something happens, he will only protect himself. We don't care about this recording. I want to get it."

"You know I can't completely trust anyone else, you once described me as 'an overweight old man', Letty." Martin showed a surprised expression, "Listen to you, do you think they might break the agreement? "

Letty shook his head, neither denying nor admitting, "I don't know, but we must be very cautious and be prepared to deal with sudden crises at any time."

"It seems that you understand the rules of this circle more and more." Martin said in a relieved tone.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the biggest winner this time will not be her or Victoria's Secret, but Miranda Kerr.

Before this, there were really not many people who knew Miranda Kerr. After the news came out, the number of times her name was searched on the Internet has greatly increased. More people know Miranda, and more people pay attention to her in big shows. , after the show, her appearance rate is even higher, and this chain effect is all thanks to Belletti.

It doesn't matter if someone doesn't like her, black and red are also red, which of the stars who are so red has no sunspots?There are many people who are popular, and the darker the topic, the more topical it is. Miranda, as a "newcomer" when she touches Ci Leti, is naturally mentally prepared to cause dissatisfaction among her fans, but she is not afraid of being scolded, it is better to say that they The harder she scolded, the more benefits she gained.

Letty seems to have gained a lot, with both wings and big closures, but she thinks that even if Victoria's Secret does not sell her favor, her treatment this year will not be too bad. Wings are not sure, but Xiaokai and Xiaokai There will always be one of them. Victoria's Secret divides their treatment according to the fame of the models. Letty's popularity is not lost to any angel. For the sake of ratings and exposure, Victoria's Secret will definitely treat her well.

It doesn't matter even if there is none, business models rely on commercial shows for a living, she doesn't, HF is her home field.

She does need Victoria's Secret to maintain her own exposure. As for whether she has wings or opening and closing, it is not very important. As long as she can show up, everyone's focus will be on her. Wings or opening and closing are just bonuses.It is not worth it to give others a chance to be in the top position for a better treatment and make the competition among peers more intense.

But Letty had no choice. If the company wanted to favor Miranda, she could only cooperate. Her contract with the company was still about one year away, so it would not do her any good to offend the company at this time.

For the company, hype is a win-win approach. Miranda can increase her popularity, and Letty can get a better treatment. Both parties will not lose anything. The company really can't think of any reason to refuse such benefits. , As for Letty's wishes, it is naturally out of their consideration.

At this time, Leti didn't know that he would become the Prophet Emperor not long after.

No, it is said that the "Emperor of Prophecy" has beautified her, the real name should be "crow's mouth".There is a saying that "plans can't keep up with changes", which is perfectly suitable to describe the subsequent "emergencies".

Martin understood what she meant, and changed the subject in a timely manner: "Okay, let's talk about something happy. Are you interested in knowing how the sales of the American version of "VOGUE" are?"

Letty managed to wake up reluctantly, "Please let me know quickly—if this can give me some comfort."

A smile appeared on the manager's face, "Many convenience stores in New York City are out of stock, and only occasionally one or two books can be found in large bookstores. As for other areas, although the sales are not as crazy as in New York, The sales volume was 20.00% higher than the same period in previous years.”

The last time Letty's US edition of "VOGUE" was on the shelves, it happened that Tony blew himself up as Iron Man.

This time she was lucky, she didn't encounter any accidents that grabbed the spotlight, and she herself had the topic bonus of the Victoria's Secret show. As the center of the topic, Letty's "VOGUE" sold well.

——Actually, it’s not “good” anymore, it’s “very good”. First of all, she’s been very popular recently, enough to convert public attention into sales, and the purchasing power of Letty’s fans is very strong, even if they don’t read fashion magazines It is a habit to buy at least one copy. A copy of "VOGUE" is priced at four and a half yuan, which is only the price of a meal. Naturally, fans will not be stingy with this money.

Martin pressed the button on the PDA again, "Maybelline said that it will start publicity work immediately after the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and the release date has been set..."

The person who is most happy that "VOGUE" is selling well is not Anna Wintour, not Letty, but Maybelline who seems to have nothing to do with this matter.

Because "VOGUE" sells better, which proves that Letty's influence and appeal are higher, which will help the sales of the upcoming joint foundation.

Looking at Letty's appearance rate, Maybelline doesn't have to worry about publicity, she is simply a walking advertising board!

"Suddenly, I was a little worried that the sales of the co-branded foundation would fluctuate." Letty did not hide her worry. The two years of getting along with her made her let go of this very familiar manager little by little, and now she is almost gone. He will not hide his emotions from him.

"Why? You have always been very confident in yourself." Her words really surprised Martin, which made him feel "old comforted".

This is a very slow girl. At first Letty didn't even want to share too much about herself with him, so she concealed her going to rehab.Trust is not given by others, but earned by himself. He gave her the right to speak in exchange for her trust, and it took a long time to make her believe in him.

"I have confidence in my steps, even if I take a normal picture, I can improve through practice, but this—" She struggled to find the right words to explain, "Whether the product sells well or not is beyond my control inside."

After she finished speaking, she closed her mouth and said no more, but Martin already understood her meaning.

"You're not sure if you're doing the right thing."

"Yes."

"You're afraid of something out of your control."

"Yes."

"A hangover from 'Oprah'? PTSD?"

"nothing?!"

After realizing what Martin said, Letty suddenly looked up at him.

"You are afraid of being exposed for lying, and then you will have nothing." The agent pointed out sharply.

What Martin said made her finally understand the reason why she had been feeling blocked in her heart.

This seed has germinated on "Oprah's Talk Show". She doesn't like to deceive her fans, but she is more afraid that her lies will be exposed one day, and then everything she has now will leave her.

Even if she has a more stable psychological quality than the average peers, she still can't be free from such things.

This fear does not stem from guilt, everyone uses similar methods to climb over, if she really thinks that she can just be talented and work hard

She has been in this circle for a long time, and she is more or less used to this mode of operation, but unlike the feeling of guilt for deceiving the public when she was on "Oprah's Talk Show", she does not feel guilty now, even I have become numb to this kind of hype. If I have to say it, I am afraid that one day I will be exposed to the false surface and see the naked self inside.

Martin took a deep look at Letty who lowered his head again, put his hands on the mouse, and stared at the computer screen, only the crisp sound of keystrokes remained in the office.

After dozens of seconds, he suddenly turned the screen to her.

Letty glanced up, but saw herself.

In the photo, I was dressed as Batman with a bright smile on my face, and there were only two slits in my eyes. Natasha, Angela and others around me also had the same smiling faces as her, overflowing with joy.

Only when she was with friends would she smile carefree like a child, and Letty didn't even know that she was smiling so brightly at that time.

Letty withdrew her gaze and looked at Martin puzzled, "What does this mean?"

"In this photo, you see yourself having fun with your friends at a Halloween party," he said, "and I see a rising fashion star getting along really well with her supermodel friend, Letty, not any Anyone can go to a Victoria's Secret party, not to mention that everyone can stand between people like Gisele Bundchen and Angela Ringwald. You can because you have the same qualifications as them. It's all about It didn't fall from the sky, it was obtained by your own strength."

"Yes." A smile finally appeared on the brunette girl's face, and her tone became firm, "Martin, my dear agent, if one day you decide not to do this business anymore, I recommend you to give a chicken soup speech at the university .”

"Don't be kidding, I won't let the hen that lays the golden eggs escape from my hands-no offense meant." Martin said eloquently, "I just want to remind you, don't question your own strength, you Already a lot ahead of everyone else - of course, it can be more, we still have a long, long way to go."

"Laying the Golden Egg" Letty listened to the good-natured joke, and her smile deepened, "You know I won't be satisfied so easily, but I'm also a coward, and I'm also very selfish. Standing in a high position, I understand this truth, but when I actually do it, I can’t overcome the psychological barrier.”

She didn't go on, but Martin had already found the answer in those gray eyes shining brightly.He took another deep look at the brunette girl, "Very well, it seems that the girl who clamored to compare Naomi Campbell to my office the first time she came into my office is back."

The brunette smiled, as arrogantly as Martin had when he first saw her, and caught his eye instantly.

"Thank you for reminding me that I almost forgot I had such a challenging goal to accomplish."

"I have always had high expectations for you, even higher than the previous Naomi." Martin's words made her show a slightly astonished expression, "Letty, the last thing I want is to see you ruined by fame, You have gained a bigger model at your level—a lot of fame, before you, no one can perform a model so well..." He paused until he found the closest adjective, "star-like , you are unveiling a brand new era of modeling, whether you can become a legend like Naomi, psychological problems are a hurdle you must overcome."

Letty looked at her manager for a long time, and just before the time was about to freeze, she lifted her chin, breaking the silence.

"No, you're wrong about something." Her gray eyes showed strong ambition, "I don't want to become a legend like Naomi, I am me, she is her, I will have a legend of my own .”
