This restarted Victoria’s Secret show to welcome the new millennium lasted about an hour and a half. All six themes were successfully completed and no reshoots were needed. Therefore, at around 8:30, the angels returned to the stage, accompanied by the still dynamic music, and began take a bow.
To be fair, from the perspective of the catwalk itself, Yu Xiaomin felt that it was far less enjoyable than the carefully edited TV version. After all, viewers locked in a certain position can often only appreciate it from a single angle. However, the fiery atmosphere at the scene completely concealed this flaw.
I couldn't help but stand up and applaud with everyone. I looked at the Victoria's Secret Angels who filed out of the stage and finally gathered in a row on the stage at the back of the T stage. When I thought again of the fourth theme song "Those Flowers", Yu Xiao Min couldn't help but look at the four Chinese models in the angel group.
Jian Xin, Tao Yuelei, Jiang Mi and Shen Gui.
In fact, they have met each other before, and they came here to participate in the fashion week for gold plating. However, basically she can recognize the other person, and the other person will not remember her.
After all, a YouTube self-media blogger like her, even though she has international fame, is far from being a few famous and dazzling models. Among them, Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei also have the title of 'supermodel' certified by Igret. .
In addition to the four models from China, Yu Xiaomin also noticed two other Asian faces. He did his homework in advance and knew that they were from South Korea. One was named Quan Youzhen and the other was Shin Chaehye.
In fact, even if you haven't done any homework, you can roughly tell them apart just by looking at their appearance. The appearance characteristics of Koreans are still very obvious.
Maybe we can chat at the after-party later.
The curtain call was completed and the show began to disperse.
You can actually leave here through the backend channel, and then go to the next stop, the nearby Gramercy Hotel, to attend the after-party.
Yu Xiaomin and Jiang Anqi were chatting and laughing, but they unanimously chose to leave through the front door.
Passing through the bustling crowd that was still blocking the gate of the arsenal, feeling the spotlight flashing frequently around them, they occasionally looked at each other at a certain moment, and the two girls took the initiative to move away from each other, but they were both aware of each other's thoughts.
Exposure.
However, Yu Xiaomin later understood that even if there was not much overlap between the two parties, behind the scenes, in the final analysis, it was still a Chinese team that extended from the Westeros system. Therefore, many routines were common.
Just like here, it's not just the two of them who deliberately pass through the front door, many celebrities do the same.
Obviously everyone also understands the dream theory.
Leaving the crowded neighborhood here, at Jiang Anqi's invitation, we took the other party's car and rushed to the Gramercy Hotel a few hundred meters away, talking and laughing all the way.
Arriving at the hotel banquet hall, there was no spotlight here. Jiang Anqi politely said that she was going to say hello to an acquaintance. Of course, Yu Xiaomin would not rely on the other person. She also signaled to the " Anna Wintour, the female editor-in-chief of VOGUE, is not someone she can talk to.
Then socialize individually.
Yu Xiaomin chatted with Anna Wintour, passed around a few more guests, and exchanged some business cards.
One of the middle-aged people who introduced himself as the boss of Mugunghua Film Company became even more enthusiastic when she introduced the project he was about to participate in. He also mentioned that their company had just produced a blockbuster science fiction film this summer called " "Alien Files" seemed to have some impression, and the other party invited her to take some time to chat. Yu Xiaomin just left a business card and declined the other party's invitation.
Mainly due to unfamiliarity.
Moreover, with a big backer like Daenerys, Yu Xiaomin does not need to look for other possible partners in a short time. The current purpose of expanding her network is to better cooperate with Daenerys.
After chatting like this for a while, Yu Xiaomin was about to say hello to a few Chinese models. The middle-aged golden retriever whom he had seen in the VIP lounge before the show appeared again. He hugged a tall girl with a proud look on his face and happened to come over to talk to Mu Jinhua. The boss greeted her, met her, and introduced her in a very familiar and warm manner. The tall girl was his daughter, Ivanka, and then helped his daughter introduce her to her.
Compared to the golden retriever, she is obviously a very proud girl. Although she is very polite, her coldness and alienation are also quite obvious.
Yu Xiaomin was no stranger to this, and she also smiled skillfully.
She graduated from the acting department.
While they were being polite to each other, restlessness came from around them.
He followed his gaze to an obvious place. Before he saw anyone, he could clearly hear the whispers of some guests around him: Simon is here.
Simon
This is a very common name in the West, but in the current situation, the only one who can be called by his first name and elicit such a reaction is obviously that big shot.
Before Yu Xiaomin had time to react, Ivanka's voice sounded in her ears: "Dad, I'm going to say hello to Simon. Well, please stop following me, okay? I'm not a little girl."
After the girl finished speaking, she already stepped away. Apparently, she was impatient of being dragged around by her father to show off and socialize. Moreover, Yu Xiaomin also felt from the other party's tone that the relationship between the girl and a certain big shot was very unusual.
Looking at the middle-aged man who was left behind, his expression was a little embarrassed. And, obviously, some kind of instinctive anger of a father watching his daughter being abducted by another man. However, apparently caring about someone's identity, this anger was actively suppressed, and it was obvious that he didn't have the courage to burst out.
In the end, she smiled politely at the other party without any flaw, and Yu Xiaomin turned around and walked away with the red wine in her hand.
Didn't go in a certain direction to join in the fun.
The arrival of someone is like becoming a star in this banquet hall instantly. Even if most people still maintain their etiquette and do not squeeze in, the entire party atmosphere begins to revolve around someone. Anyway, Yu Xiaomin feels that this insignificant star of his own is Little Comet had better wait patiently.
It happened that Jiang Mi and Shen Gui, who had just noticed them, hadn't come over yet, so Yu Xiaomin stepped forward to say hello.
Only then did I realize that I was still a little presumptuous at first. Both girls knew her, so they quickly chatted together.
Talking again about the project he was preparing to explore the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon, Jiang Mi, who seemed very cold, was unexpectedly more interested than Shen Gui. After asking a few more questions, he expressed that he also very much hoped to go to the world's largest canyon. Look at the intentions.
Yu Xiaomin also immediately expressed his welcome.
"Everest", which has caused huge repercussions at the moment, involves two very interesting people, both of whom are well-known entrepreneurs in China. With the global popularity of the documentary, their personal fame has reached a new level. In the domestic publicity stage, it has also become a very important gimmick.
Now, for the new exploration project, Yu Xiaomin talked with Chen Qing when he was in China. Although it is impossible to invite two more entrepreneurs to participate, when the time comes, he can also try to bring in a few celebrities.
Yu Xiaomin didn't know much about this at first, and was looking for it. At the moment, this was not a good idea.
The girl in front of her, who seemed to be 1.9 meters tall, not only had an exquisite appearance and figure, but also had global popularity. If she could participate together, she would definitely add luster to her project.
Yu Xiaomin then looked at Gui Shen.
Unfortunately, compared to Jiang Mi, Shen Gui is a little more conservative and worried about safety issues. She also mentioned that she heard that someone broke his leg during the filming of "Everest".
This is real.
However, climbing the world's highest peak, only for someone to break a leg, was already a pretty smooth adventure. As for exploring the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon, according to the information Yu Xiaomin has collected so far and some preliminary planning, safety is more guaranteed than climbing Mount Everest.
So we made an appointment again to take some time to chat.
Separating from Jiang Mi, Yu Xiaomin thought about it for a while. Tonight's big show, not to mention other things, was a worthwhile trip for her personally.
Then he successfully greeted a certain big shot.
Simon Westeros was held by two girls on the left and right, one was Ivanka, and the other was a girl obviously from Eastern Europe, who seemed to be named Lyudmila, and there were a group of warblers around him. Therefore, it was just a greeting. In front of these big fairies, Yu Xiaomin didn't think she could gain any sense of presence.
The next day, Yu Xiaomin woke up in a high-rise apartment in the Upper West Side and asked the maid here to buy some newspapers. They were full of news about the Victoria's Secret show on the important pages.
It's just a little regrettable that I couldn't find any news related to myself.
Um.
It would be strange to find it.
It was all about how grand the show was, which supermodels were more outstanding, and which famous guests were present. In addition, the theme of the show and the six background music from different languages were also mentioned.
Yu Xiaomin unexpectedly found an article reviewing "Those Flowers". The writer was obviously a professional musician, and compared "Those Flowers" with the song "Life" from "Everest" which is still being released in North America. "Like Summer Flowers" are connected together, and I believe that although the meanings of the two songs are different, their styles have many similarities, and they are probably the works of the same songwriter.
Yu Xiaomin hadn't noticed it before, but after reading the article, she felt that it was true.
Such as the weird chanting that appears in both songs.
So I checked online specifically, and found out that the creators of the two songs had two names, and they were names that Yu Xiaomin had never heard of. At first glance, they were pseudonyms.
Determined to get such a theme song for her documentary, Yu Xiaomin wrote down the matter and planned to contact Jinshu to inquire about it after returning to China.
Thinking of China, I also took a look at the portal website there.
Same front page hits.
About Jian Xin, about Tao Yuelei, about Jiang Mi, about Shen Gui, about "Those Flowers"...
It was a joy.
The website also mentioned that domestic CCTV news also devoted two minutes to a special report on this fashion feast, including interviews with the four daughters of Jian Xin, as well as clips from "Those Flowers".
So I rummaged through it again and found the original video. It was relatively blurry, but the whole report clearly gave people a high-spirited feeling.
In addition, this time I finally found a press release related to her. It was a photo of sitting with Anqi Jiang, accompanied by an article. However, the focus was on Jiang Anqi, which made Yu Xiaomin somewhat depressed, so she turned off the computer and started to contact China.
I also have media channels, so I can’t let someone steal all the limelight.
Moreover, I have to retake the photos I thought about last night as soon as possible, as well as yesterday’s meeting plan with Anna Wintour, the female editor-in-chief of "VOGUE", the things I agreed with Jiang Mi, and other things.
So I didn't even eat breakfast and started the day's schedule in a hurry.
No matter what, she still had to go back quickly. After all, her studio was still operating, and Yu Xiaomin was not going to neglect the foundation she had laid just because of the work in hand.
After going around like this for a few days, I suddenly received an unexpected invitation from a certain big shot.
It's December 2nd, a Wednesday.
Yu Xiaomin had already booked a flight back to China on Saturday. However, after receiving the invitation, she forgot everything. It didn't matter if... she never went back.
Someone was sent to pick her up, and Yu Xiaomin, who had dressed up carefully, left Manhattan by car and went all the way to the northern end of Long Island.
Paying attention to the roadside, when the black Mercedes-Benz sedan entered a seaside manor, Yu Xiaomin knew that this was Shadian City.
The snow that fell around the time of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last week has stopped, but the road was still white when we first arrived. However, entering the manor seems to have entered a small space in a different world where the seasons are somewhat intertwined. The manor is surrounded by dark green neat hedges, and the ends of the walls are covered with snow. Inside the manor, although there are many tall trees close to the hedges to adapt to the winter. It has withered from time to time, but it is still full of vitality. Even the lawn beside the asphalt corridor, probably because of its variety, is still green under the thin snow.
Of course, Yu Xiaomin understood that it would be expensive to maintain all of this. At the same time, she also realized that the man who created all of this should be a person who is very sensitive to the passage of time at heart and does not like decline and old age.
Then it inevitably feels a little weird.
The other party's age, even this year, seems to be only 31 years old. Normally, you shouldn't have this kind of mentality.
Of course, this is not something she can care about.
The car stopped in front of the villa. Yu Xiaomin got out of the car and followed the waiter into the warm villa. He took off his windbreaker and changed his shoes. He walked through the spacious hall and turned to the corridor on one side, feeling the emptiness that inevitably came from the luxury around him. Yu Xiaomin also felt that people who could live here should have strong enough hearts, otherwise, just this emptiness might make people crazy.
Think outside again.
What a contradictory person.
Arriving at a living room, Yu Xiaomin sat down and took a few sips of the coffee brought by the waitress. When she heard someone coming, she quickly put down the cup and stood up.
A man who was probably very familiar to the whole world came in, wearing a casual black pullover, khaki casual pants, and cotton slippers on his feet.
The man was accompanied by two girls, Jiang Mi and Shen Gui. However, compared to the men, the two girls were dressed more casually. Each of them was just wrapped in a big bathrobe, and their tied hair was wet. Yu Xiaomin also noticed that Shen Gui's slightly open neckline had only a piece of snow inside. greasy.
Could it be that he just came out of the bathroom
After being distracted for a moment and listening to the man greeting her, Yu Xiaomin quickly cheered up, shook hands with the man, and said, "Mr. Westeros, it's nice to see you again."
I had met him before, but compared to Jiang Mi and others, it was probably more difficult to leave too many traces on him when meeting this big shot.
Simon shook hands with the restrained girl in front of him and said with a smile: "Sit down, Jiang Mi said she wanted to participate in your project. Xiao Qing also mentioned it to me several times. Since I have time today, let's chat a few words."
After saying that, he came to the sofa and sat down first. He was not in a hurry, and he leaned on the sofa and let the housekeeper who came over gently wipe his hair.
It's true that I just got out of the bath.
In addition to the two beside them, there are also Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei, as well as South Korea's Quan Youzhen and Shin Chaehye.
Well, today is a small topic.
Yu Xiaomin sat upright on the sofa opposite and waited patiently for the man to speak. Then, he accidentally raised his eyes and felt a little strange. The woman who is wiping the man's hair has a gentle temperament, and she should be the type of a good wife at first glance.
However, at the first glance, probably due to female intuition, Yu Xiaomin felt that the woman was to a certain man, well, how should I put it, some mothers are to their sons, some wives are to their husbands, and some servants are to their masters... She couldn't help but think about it for a moment. , until the woman stopped and glanced over seemingly unintentionally, Yu Xiaomin quickly narrowed her eyes.
Suddenly she realized that maybe she would be whatever the man opposite told her to be.
Because that's Simon Westeros.
Just like looking at a beautiful woman more than once will inevitably make the man in the field of vision have wild thoughts, the man in front of her, whether it is wealth, power, talent or even appearance, has a fatal attraction to women, even if they just get along with each other, It's hard for a woman to resist even if he doesn't say anything.
Yu Xiaomin felt that she would definitely not be able to resist.
And the housekeeper who left quietly after wiping the man's hair probably couldn't resist, even though she was holding the other two young girls in her arms while wiping the man's hair. Thinking about it again, Yu Xiaomin found that she couldn't care less when she was in that woman's position, because this man at the top of the pyramid seemed to take it for granted no matter what he did.
After Angre left, Simon also picked up a cup of coffee and held it in his hand, and proactively asked about the project to explore the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon.
Yu Xiaomin knew everything, including the production ideas, the binding of the future promotion process to the current "Everest", and the reason why she very much hoped that the world-famous model could participate after Jiang Mi showed her willingness.
The meeting only lasted less than half an hour. Most of the time, Yu Xiaomin was talking and failed to get much advice from the man.
However, when leaving, Yu Xiaomin was very satisfied.
After all, after this meeting, this project has been registered with Simon Westeros. At least, unless Simon Westeros speaks personally, no one can take the project away from her, even if they want to. Some credit, unless she volunteered, was unlikely.
