Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1554: :Perfect
It is very appropriate to describe the life of Victoria’s Secret angels with a sentence of ten years of work on stage for one minute.
After completing the live show on November 27, even if the whole show lasted only an hour and a half before and after, almost every Victoria’s Secret angel had a sense of collapse after a big event was finally completed.
Not to mention, just to satisfy the perfect figure who can log on to the Victoria’s Secret T station, all the angels on stage have not eaten a full meal for months.
In fact, to reach the current level, most models have become accustomed to not having enough to eat. However, Victoria’s Secret has to insist on strict shaping training for a long time while not having enough to eat.
When the big show is completed, all the Victoria’s Secret Angels’ thoughts are to indulge.
Let’s talk about a few kilograms of fat.
Of course, most of them are just thinking about it. For example, when the live show is completed for several Chinese models such as Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei, in addition to relaxing for a day at the call of a man, at other times, there are still a lot of jobs.
In a blink of an eye it came to December 6.
New week.
In the evening, the official Victoria’s Secret Show was broadcast on TV. In New York in the winter, Jian Xin still had to get up early at 7 o’clock in the morning.
In the morning, I rushed to take pictures for the fashion magazine “Cosmopolitan”. At noon, I had a meal with the editor of that magazine. By the way, I was interviewed later. In the afternoon, I was auditioning for a movie role.
Said it was an audition, just chatting with the director and the producer over coffee, probably identified a small supporting role in this Disney-invested action movie. The salary is not high, 100,000 US dollars, but it only needs to participate in two days. Shoot.
Of course, out of professional ethics, Jian Xin must prepare for this role in private, so she plans to invite acting teachers to take some courses.
It’s not mainly for money, but this movie. The investment of 70 million yuan, according to WMA’s agent, is like gilding, which can improve her style and exposure.
It is also because of her personal fame and the backstage. Otherwise, other models want to get such a role, it is not necessarily money or money, maybe they have to contribute to the director or production, after all, before the Victoria’s Secret became popular, the model The circle belongs to the last link of the food chain in the field of fashion and entertainment.
To put it bluntly, just the hunted.
Jian Xin certainly understands.
In fact, it’s roughly the same now. It’s just that because a big figure created the Victoria’s Secret show, there are a group of supermodels who have the popularity of no less than the first-class movie stars or pop singers, so they are not only worth, but hidden Coffee ranks have also risen, and it is impossible to be asked by other circles.
After a busy day, there is still an invitation in the evening.
These days have been arranged by An Xiaohan, President of Elite China Branch in the United States.
An electrical appliance company that mainly produces refrigerators in China wants to invite Jian Xin as its spokesperson.
Jian Xin is not interested in this. Her main business center is in the West, and she also feels that a company that produces refrigerators does not match her own style, not to mention that the money will not be too much. Therefore, when An Xiaohan first chatted with her, Jian Xin directly said that he could push it to Jiang Mi and Shen Gui.
Anyway, Jiang Mi’s development focus is on China.
However, there was a lot of insistence over there, and the price was increased a bit, and Jian Xin agreed to meet.
The visitor was a deputy general manager of the refrigerator company headquartered in Zhuhai. Dinner was arranged by An Xiaohan at St. George’s Restaurant in the Upper West District. Everyone sat down and talked about the meal time politely, and the other party paid directly in U.S. dollars. , 1 million US dollars, endorsement for three years, the requirement is that in addition to print advertisements and TV advertisements, Jian Xin also needs to regularly participate in some brand promotion activities.
Furthermore, the other party also inquired that the Chinese Spring Festival Gala next year is trying to invite a few of them to participate, and Jian Xin must attend.
It is indeed a very sincere price. After all, Jian Xin has only made more than 3 million US dollars in the past year. Although it is a low level among many supermodels, if the word’talent’ is heard by domestic artists , I must scratch my heart.
In any case, even if the US$1 million is divided into three years, it is only equivalent to more than 300,000 per year, which is very impressive.
So finalized.
However, Jian Xin turned down the other party’s additional requirement that he must return to China to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
This time is too busy to go back, and I know how strict the rehearsal and review of the Spring Festival Gala are. If it’s just the kind of guest sitting down the stage last time, it’s not a big deal. If on stage, Jian Xin can’t spare so much time. .
As for being a guest offstage again, considering that Shen Gui or Jiang Mi will be on stage this time, Jian Xin also feels that it is not appropriate.
The other party did not force it.
The rest of the specific contract is naturally to be discussed by An Xiaohan.
At the end of the dinner, Jian Xin and An Xiaohan hurriedly returned to their residence in the Upper West Side. The TV broadcast tonight is something you cannot miss.
The TV broadcast started at ten o’clock and arrived home at nine o’clock. Tao Yuelei had already returned early and was taking a bath. Jian Xin also took off her clothes and went into the bathroom. After Tao Yuelei screamed, the two girls still frolicked and finished washing together, and then came to the bathroom. The living room on the third floor of the villa.
An Xiaohan couldn’t make up for a certain excitement. He just took a hot bath by himself. He was already nestled here in pajamas. Seeing the two girls coming in, he joked: “You guys have a little more time, the big show is about to end. .”
Tao Yuelei’s petite cheek was ruddy, and she squeezed An Xiaohan to sit down together, and said with a smile: “Isn’t it started yet?”
This time the TV broadcast is still 10 o’clock late at night.
It was the result of public protests, because I was worried that it would teach children badly. However, there have been several consecutive sessions, which were originally not aimed at children, and of course it did not affect the ratings.
Jian Xin picked up the remote control and increased her voice a little bit. She said to sit down on the single sofa next to her, and couldn’t help saying, “You guys, what’s the audience rating this time?”
Tao Yuelei dangled by An Xiaohan’s side, and then got up a little bit and reached out to hold the coffee table. The last weekly magazine gestured to the Victoria’s Secret Tiantuan on the cover of the photo, and said: “Looking at the popularity of the last few days, the highest value of 50 million should be of.”
In the days after the live show, under the promotion of the Westeros system, news about this fashion feast has become a hot topic on a global scale, and the issue of TV ratings today has also become a hot topic in many media.
Prior to this, the highest of the five Victoria’s Secrets from 1992 to 1996 was the closing of the first phase in 1996. The average viewership reached 53.7 million, and the highest reached 65.2 million. The core audience of 18 to 49 years old received ratings. The rate even reached 32.6.
Even for the lowest second edition, the average viewership was as high as 34.9 million, which was only slightly behind the 35.5 million in the first edition.
In any case, it is a phenomenon of concern to the whole people.
An Xiaohan listened to the discussion between the two girls and said: “I think the ratings are not important at all. The key to this big show is to create an influence that can benefit the entire fashion industry. Just like before, you two, Even with the help of a big man, it is impossible to develop so well in the West.”
When the two girls heard An Xiaohan mention someone, they both had a little subtlety.
However, they all agree with An Xiaohan’s argument.
After all, many people have experienced the rise of the fashion circle in recent years, and this rise is inseparable from the five consecutive Victoria’s Secret shows in the early 1990s.
It can be said that if there is no Victoria’s Secret Show, there will always be some “high-top” fashion circles, especially the model industry, which will be pushed to the general public. Now this circle may still be the only supermodels that can do it every day except for the top supermodels. Don’t get up without making $10,000. Most of the others can only be regarded as a short-term youth meal, and will continue to be at the bottom of the circle’s food chain.
After talking like this, the time came to 10 o’clock.
On the TV screen, the last commercial ended, the ABC TV screen flashed, and the Victoria’s Secret logo appeared, accompanied by the overhead shot of the Lexington Avenue Arsenal that night. The fiery heat that is still hard to hide in the wind and snow can give people a sense of excitement at a glance.
Immediately after that, the picture switched again, and all the way to the backstage of the Victoria’s Secret show, the camera passed through one by one ODY, but this simple flash made people pleasing to the eye.
Because everything is carefully designed.
Not only the various costumes and even the layout of the backstage, but also everyone in the Angel Army.
Why is it that other underwear shows, even if they wear a pair of wings and invite some well-known models, it is still difficult to give people a feeling of being slightly comparable to Victoria’s Secret?
Because there are too many details involved, it’s really incomparable.
While the three women in the living room cheered up, the thousands of households on the East Coast of the United States who started broadcasting first, and countless viewers also cheered up.
The perfect show.
Perfect body.
Perfect music.
The perfect outfit.
It seems that everything has come out of a dream, allowing tens of millions of viewers to enjoy a visual feast that lasts for an hour in the smoke. It is still like some kind of movie that Simon recommends most, but many people reacted. , On the TV screen, the Victoria’s Secret Army has begun to take the stage, and the curtain call.
Because of the high level of attention, it is inevitable for many people to sleep late at night. While more materials and discussions exploded on the Internet, less than an hour after the end of the big show, the Eaglet portal also announced preliminary statistics for the first time. The viewership data of, the average is 47.1 million, and the highest is 56.5 million.
Second only to 1996, the first phase concluded the fifth.
The time came to the second day. As outside the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia and other countries also broadcast the show on television, and another discussion boom quickly spread.
Beijing China.
When the time came to December 9, Shen Gui, Jiang Mi and An Xiaohan got off the plane with a few entourages. Even though they brought masks on purpose, they were still recognized when they left the airport lobby. After all, the two The size of the girl is too conspicuous. Then, there was an inevitable wave of onlookers, which scared the two girls, but also inevitably gave birth to some sense of pride.
Obviously, these days, many news about the Victoria’s Secret show have been thoroughly fermented in China.
Quickly signed some names to some passers-by who came up, Shen Gui and Jiang Mi finally came out of the airport under the protection of An who reacted here.
Sitting in the pick-up car, she took off her mask, Shen Gui looked at the passers-by who was still pointing at them again, breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly thought that, now, her TV series, which will be broadcast next week, should have better results. Some.
Compared with Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei who have established a firm foothold in Europe and the United States, and Shen Gui and Jiang Mi’s two domestic strategies, they themselves are quite recognized. After all, they have developed in European and American circles. It’s not that easy to have enough strong back-end support. After all, just like the rejection of black models, the demand for Asians in the Western fashion circle is not so big after all. The two top ones have already accounted for most of them. resource.
Thinking of this, after the car started, An Xiaohan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said something to the driver. He found a disc from the storage compartment in the front row, smiled and handed it over: “Look, yours The catwalk has been officially released in China.”
Shen Gui reached out and took it.
This is a very beautifully packaged VCD disc. The cover of the plastic hard box is a group photo of the Victoria’s Secret Army. The package has been unpacked, and Shen Gui opened it. There is also a poster inside. A big picture poster, the kind that can be posted on the wall.
After looking around for a moment, Jiang Mi first reacted: “This should be a pirated copy, right?”
Shen Gui also realized this in an instant, and checked the packaging box again. There was no mark on the name of the audiovisual publishing company. Except for the packaging, which was not bad, there were other standard Sanno products.
An Xiaohan in the front row also nodded: “Of course it is a pirated version. Do you think the original version will be released so quickly?”
Shen Gui smiled and said: “There shouldn’t be any genuine products in China, right?”
I also remembered some news that I saw during this period of time. The video tapes about the Victoria’s Secret show were very popular at first, and this time it should not be too bad. However, in the domestic side, there is definitely not much money to be made, and it is estimated that the audit will not pass.
An Xiaohan hadn’t spoken yet. The driver in the front row who was actually the waitress of the Wei family had already taken the initiative to say: “This time there will be, Miss Shen. , It should also release genuine VCDs. Recently, the country is promoting genuine VCDs, and sales should be good.”
The two girls were a little surprised and excited when they heard the driver say this.
The two catwalks I participated in can be broadcast in China, or CCTV. In any case, this is a happy thing.
An Xiaohan in the front row felt the excitement of the two girls. After thinking about it, he didn’t talk about another thing.
CCTV has already contacted her and hopes to hold a model contest with Elite next year. And it’s not just a few sub-channels, but a set of CCTV. Then, it will be docked with the Elite World Elite Model Competition in the United States.
To be honest, the degree of openness of CCTV surprised An Xiaohan.
When I came back this time, I flew directly to Beijing. In addition to the two girls around me, An Xiaohan also wanted to discuss specific cooperation details with CCTV. That’s right, of course I directly agreed, and don’t hesitate to talk about the details of cooperation directly.
