It was such a stressful morning that I almost didn’t want to get up. However, she still tried her best to resist the temptation of sisters Lin Zhao and Lin Zhi and get up on time.
This is Southampton in mid-April.
The grass grows and the orioles fly.
The season of renewal.
After morning exercise, I came to the restaurant. While eating, I was listening to the housekeeper Angeli report some things, when the two sisters, all dressed up, walked in together.
It was obviously because of last night. Lin Zhao's still cold temperament could not help but reveal a bit of shyness and tenderness, while Lin Zhi looked energetic and vigorous, just like this spring.
Speaking of which, if Simon hadn't gone to China last time, he would have almost forgotten that he still had this pair in New York.
After saying good morning, he gestured for the two girls to sit down at the dining table. The housekeeper also took out the intercom and called the maid to serve breakfast to the two girls. Then she turned to her boss again and continued after receiving permission: "We also pay attention to the blood type. , three... are all Type O, and the boss is Type AB, this alone will be enough to make a judgment at that time."
Simon nodded and asked again: "Where is the time?"
The housekeeper said: "Seven months, after the surgery, there will definitely be no problem."
Simon hummed again, and when he saw two waitresses coming in from next door carrying breakfast trays, he stopped the conversation and said, "That's it, you go down first."
The housekeeper agreed and turned to leave.
The two waitresses also quickly walked out of the restaurant.
Simon glanced at the two sisters across from him. Lin Zhao had a straight waist and was sitting upright, turning a deaf ear to the movement around him. When he lowered his head to eat, his straight black hair covered half of his face, but it was obviously unable to cover up the eye-catching breasts.
Lin Zhi's eyes were lively, and he was obviously very interested in the connotation of the conversation just now.
However, what Simon finds interesting is that although she is not as good as her sister, Lin Zhi, who is equally famous, obviously does not care much about her image. She is leaning against the edge of the table, and her two little darlings seem to be placed directly on the table.
It's quite labor-saving.
Sensing Simon's gaze, Lin Zhi quickly narrowed his eyes, but then slightly arched his body forward in an obviously clumsy manner. The trick was very green, but also tempting. If it wasn't Monday, Simon thought it would be okay to stay in bed for another day.
Restraining his inner thoughts of laissez-faire, Simon took the initiative to talk and asked in Chinese: "Are you still used to being in New York?"
Lin Zhao paused while eating, raised his head to meet the man's gaze, then subconsciously dodged slightly and said softly: "This way, it's very good."
"I'm so busy that I almost forgot that you two are still here," Simon said with a smile and continued: "It's hard for me to spare too much time for you on weekdays, so if you want to leave, Talk to the people around you and you will be free.”
Lin Zhao's eyes that he had avoided turned to face someone again, feeling a little surprised.
Lin Zhi, who was listening with his little ears, subconsciously looked at his sister, with a little worry in his expression.
After a brief hesitation, Lin Zhao quickly shook his head: "I, I think it's good now." As he thought of something, Lin Zhao glanced at his sister next to him. Thinking of last night, his face became a little more rosy and his voice dropped a little. Tiao, then said: "Mr. Westeros, if you agree, my sister..."
Before Lin Zhao could finish his words, Lin Zhi had already said, "I don't want it."
Lin Zhao was startled.
Lin Zhi also realized that his reaction was too much, he shrank his neck, glanced at the man opposite him guiltily, lowered his head and looked at the plate in front of him, considered it quickly, and said: "I am already an adult, I don't need a sister." Help me decide.”
Simon looked at the two opposites, shrugged slightly, smiled, and said, "You decide for yourself, I won't say more."
Neither sister responded for a moment.
Lin Zhao was surprised and slightly sad.
It turns out that my sister has become independent enough that she no longer needs to be taken care of as a child by herself.
Perhaps, recalling all the details after going abroad until now, she probably had some wishful thinking towards this sister most of the time.
As for herself, Lin Zhao really didn't plan to leave.
Life is pretty good now, and she has accepted her fate.
After all, with her appearance and figure, without a strong supporter, she would be in trouble wherever she goes. In the past two years, she has had many experiences of being easily resolved after encountering slight entanglements, which is enough to prove that the man opposite her is the one who can help her block all troubles. people.
After noticing that the sister next to him touched him, Lin Zhao raised his head again and looked to the side.
Lin Zhi's eyes filled with mist at some point, and she whispered, "Sister, I'm sorry."
Lin Zhao was startled again, then forced a smile.
Thinking about it carefully, at the beginning, the most neglected person in the family was my younger sister. She was obviously outstanding in all aspects, but just because she was not a boy, she had to look after her younger brother who was two years younger for everything she wanted to eat and wear. From my sister's point of view, these days are probably something she has never experienced even in her dreams.
How could you be willing to give up
Simon ignored the little interaction between the two sisters. After breakfast, he took a helicopter to Manhattan to start a new week of work.
Today is April 12th.
on Monday.
At the same time as the Easter schedule ends, North American TV spring schedules also begin to wrap up.
The morning is a quarterly summary meeting of the TV department. It starts at nine o'clock and lasts for two hours. The content covers Daenerys Entertainment's ABC TV network, ESPN sports station, USA women's station, DHO premium cable station, and Fashion TV fashion station. Wait for all business.
All other parts are developing smoothly, but Simon is most concerned about DHO.
After being launched on October 30 last year, DHO's development has been overwhelming, especially the off-season marketing plan at the end of last year. In just two months, November and December, this fledgling cable station has gained 320 million compared to HBO's paid cable station. million subscribers.
Until now, nearly half a year later, excluding some users who gave up renewing their subscriptions after the three-month discount period, the number of stable subscribers of DHO has reached 6.7 million, which is a full 1.7 million higher than the original target of 5 million subscribers. The total number of subscribers is even close to half of the number of local subscribers of HBO, which has been on the air for more than ten years.
Affected by DHO, HBO has made frequent moves in marketing and content in recent months.
On Daenerys' side, as long as the other party doesn't use special means, then everything will depend on strength.
In addition, the opening results have reached the target, and DHO will also start overseas expansion in the upcoming summer season. After all, HBO currently has more than 30 million global subscribers, and the local main station is actually just over 14 million. This shows the overseas potential, and of course it cannot be done here. Let it go.
After the summary meeting, the next work schedule is still related to DHO. The script has been completed and the production meeting of "The Sopranos" is about to be formed.
Basically the original cast will be used.
The script for "House of Cards" has also been completed. Compared to the version in memory, this story is largely original.
If we talk about something in common, it's probably the same 'large scale'.
Of course, the standard here is not selling meat, but unceremoniously stripping away American politics.
Furthermore, this time is certainly not suitable to be based on the Clintons. After all, even though Clinton’s second term has passed halfway, the couple’s political ambitions have not yet ended. In addition, the relationship between the two parties is pretty good, so backstabbing teammates is not a good idea. . Therefore, they are still a couple, but this time they are a mixture of the characteristics of some previous American presidents, or they are just two standard 'political symbols' in which every American politician can find his or her own shadow.
Simon actually considered whether launching this series nearly twenty years in advance would be acclimated. After all, the U.S. economy is currently booming, and the public is dissatisfied with the authorities... Although Clinton's sex scandal caused a lot of trouble, overall they are quite satisfied. After all, the common people's requirements for the imperial court are not much different between ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries. Just let everyone live a good life.
Now that the days are good, I may not be too interested in dramas that expose the inside story of federal politics.
Anyway, give it a try anyway.
If the ratings are not good, it will be cut off at that time. Today's Daenerys Entertainment has a large enough error tolerance.
At noon, we rushed to the Elite headquarters on Fifth Avenue to have dinner with Grace again.
The main work in the afternoon is related to Victoria's Secret. Simon will go to the Victoria's Secret Show Preparation Studio in Brooklyn to check the progress of angel selection and catwalk theme design.
It’s the same small restaurant we dined at last time.
The two sat down and chatted about some recent trivial matters. When the waitress finished serving lunch and left, Simon glanced at the usual glass of milk at hand, and then looked at Grace.
Grace smiled and shook her head: "Emma won't come to the company now. Really, I spent so much resources to support her, and she will retire in a blink of an eye."
As he spoke, he glanced at someone half-seriously.
Simon just smiled.
Speaking of which, during this period, the fashion industry suffered... well, it was quite big.
However, this industry is just like Hollywood. The most indispensable thing is people. If you dare to retire, a lot of girls will take your place in the blink of an eye.
Thinking this way, Simon noticed a certain word: "Retire, have you all retired?"
Grace really rolled her eyes this time, her meaning was obvious, you didn’t even know this
Simon really doesn't know.
Mainly because they don't care. After all, it doesn't matter whether those women completely retire or come back after giving birth to children. Simon can afford to retire and continue to work, and Simon is happy to see the results.
Seeing that the man was really confused, Grace explained: "Only Emma clearly told me that she wanted to retire. For the rest, Heidi came to the company last Friday to discuss an endorsement contract renewal. However, she will definitely They won’t go on catwalks easily anymore, and they seem to be considering doing some business, just like the Konavs sisters.”
Simon nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Grace pointed to the cup in the man's hand again: "Well, guess whose it belongs to?"
Simon didn't guess and picked up the tableware.
Grace could only take the initiative to reveal the answer: "Stephanie's."
Simon thought of Stephanie Seymour and asked casually: "She gave birth to another baby?"
"Yes," Grace smiled a little strangely: "The agreement she signed with her publisher husband, after all, one more child means more inheritance. But, hey, Stephanie obviously didn't find the right person, otherwise, she would just One child is enough for a lifetime."
Simon was noncommittal.
Grace glanced at the man and said, "She is downstairs. After lunch, you can ask her to come to the lounge next door and you can chat?"
Of course, Simon knew why Stephanie Seymour wanted to 'talk' to him. It was because of this year's Victoria's Secret matters. Many old supermodels may not be able to be on the Victoria's Secret this year, and Seymour, who has resigned as a spokesperson, is one of those who can or cannot be. Kind of, nothing more than a word from Simon.
Hearing what Grace said, Simon didn't refuse: "Okay."
When Grace saw the man agreeing, there was nothing wrong with her expression, but she was a little happy. As long as she can occupy a small place in this man's heart, she doesn't mind finding women from all over the world to give her.
Lunch lasted for more than half an hour. After it was over, Grace was about to go down and call someone. She also said that she would go to Brooklyn first, so Simon didn't have to worry.
The afternoon work will be put there, and there is really no rush. At worst, it will delay the time to get off work.
However, Simon stopped Grace again and gave some additional instructions.
This time the woman rolled her eyes and left.
It was past two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the Victoria's Secret show preparation studio in Brooklyn.
Stephanie Seymour, with a blush on her face, insisted on following her, not caring at all that the people around her would find something. Perhaps she just wanted to be discovered by others. However, what no one noticed was that a certain beautiful lady was completely naked. I spent most of the afternoon standing, and even if I occasionally sat down, I would lean slightly.
It looks like there are nails in the seats.
After several months of preparation, this year’s list of Victoria’s Secret Angels has been roughly finalized, with about 60 people initially selected.
In the end, more than 40 people were still left.
As for the big fairies who went to Park City in January, except for a few who were eliminated due to force majeure, most of the others, as long as they complete the shaping requirements for the Victoria's Secret show in the next few months, their own conditions are sufficient, and it is basically certain that they can log in and restart. Victoria's Secret T stage.
In addition, there are more than ten places left, first of all, two or three must be reserved for Political Correctness. On the Asian side, China has taken away four, Jian Xin, Tao Yuelei, Jiang Mi and Shen Gui. South Korea has two, Jeon Woo-jin and Shin Chae-hye.
Others will depend on the situation. For example, Stephanie Seymour, who was originally allowed or not, will be given a small opening at least since she was given a small opening today.
In addition, I wish Momo will not participate again.
The main reason is not that the girl is too tall. After quietly getting a closed injection some time ago, the girl's height will be roughly determined to be 188 centimeters. This is actually the same as the little KK before, and it is not too much. However, this time it was mainly China. Zhu Momo’s mother objected. After all, the Victoria’s Secret show was too time-consuming, and Mo Yiling hoped that her daughter would spend more time in school.
Zhu Momo didn't insist too much.
The girl's current status as a celebrity will not fall down whether she participates in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show or not. After all, her backing is strong enough.
Furthermore, Simon was here in the afternoon and confirmed two more.
Lyudmila Besonoskova, who was still dressed in furry fur, blocked the way directly. If she can't come in this year, the girl will rebel.
Of course.
Finally, there is Ivanka.
Came here the same way in the afternoon.
A certain girl happens to be 18 years old this year, and a certain guy who likes to be in the limelight has no objection to his daughter appearing on the Victoria's Secret T stage. In this case, Simon will naturally not object either. If this girl wants to meet the Victoria's Secret body standards, she will definitely have to endure some hardships, and Simon will not relax her standards.
