The rehearsal in the morning is over. In the afternoon, adjustments will be made based on the problems discovered during the rehearsal, and some official materials will be produced for media release. Therefore, the show team including the Victoria's Secret Army will have to stay in the arsenal all day.
Simon chatted with everyone for a while, and the staff came over to remind him that lunch had been delivered.
There was no critical schedule today, so Simon stayed to have a working meal together.
When we came to the backstage, lunch was already being distributed.
There is one kind for the staff, another kind for the Victoria’s Secret Angels, one kind can be called lunch, and the other kind is, well, indescribable. In short, after Simon tasted the vegetable salad that Yasmin didn't even put salad dressing on, he had no idea of taking a second bite.
The perfect ODY that the audience saw on the Victoria's Secret T stage is by no means easy to come by.
For this big show, most of the Victoria's Secret Angels started to control their weight three months ago. As the show approaches, the Victoria's Secret team will specially evaluate this. If they are unqualified, unfortunately, they can only be kicked off, even if Those with waist and legs will not enjoy special treatment.
Being at the top of any profession means a lot of hard work.
After lunch, Simon dismissed the other people around him, and then called Tracy Gauff to personally check the girl's progress in her acting class.
On a whim, Simon offered the baby-faced model a small role in his next movie. Simon was happy to see the girl's fame grow, but if Tracy Gauff couldn't handle a small vase that wasn't too bad, Simon would never make do with it either.
In fact, Grace talked to Simon privately. During this period, in addition to preparing for the Victoria's Secret show, Tracy Gauff also had to take four hours of acting classes every day. It was completely cramming learning. For this reason, she had to Even without rejecting many business announcements, the daily rest time is only six hours.
Backstage at the show, after a simple lunch, everyone started to get busy.
Girl A was standing next to the public dressing table not far from Simon's rest area, looking through a document about Ukrainian investment. Cindy Crawford walked over and glanced at the baby-faced girl who was taking the school exam not far away. Simon Westeros smiled and greeted Girl A: "Hi, A."
Alison turned to look at her and nodded slightly: "Hello, Cindy."
Cindy Crawford picked up an eyebrow pencil on the dressing table and played with it, trying to sit down. She noticed Alison's condition and asked curiously: "A, why don't you sit down?"
Alison paused for a moment, looked back at the document in her hand, and said casually: "It's good for your health to stand for a while."
Cindy was a little confused. She recalled a little and found that she accidentally noticed Alison several times throughout the morning. This female assistant of Simon Westeros was always standing. She lowered her head and glanced. Alison was not wearing high heels, but They are a pair of small leather boots with flat soles, which are really suitable for standing.
Knowing wisely, Cindy didn't bother to find out more. She sat down, leaned slightly on the edge of the dressing table, and found a topic: "A, what are you looking at?"
Alison didn't answer and asked bluntly: "What's the matter?"
Cindy saw that Alison had no intention of chatting with her, and seemed to be a little cold because of the question she had just asked, so she stopped talking nonsense and said: "That's it, I just signed a new film from Warner Bros., "Fairness" "The Game," about a cat-and-mouse game between an agent and the Soviet KGB, do you know this?"
“Joe Silver’s Project.”
Seeing that Alison was using a positive tone, Cindy nodded and said: "Yes, this, it seems you know."
"yes."
"So, you...well, what do you think Simon?"
"It sucks."
"Wha... what?"
"The boss said it sucked."
“…”
"The boss also said that after this movie, Cindy Crawford's era will be over."
"A, this joke is not funny at all."
Alison looked up at Cindy: "Why should I joke with you."
"But… "
Alison ignored Cindy's hesitation and looked down at the document in her hand, obviously not intending to talk to her again.
Cindy looked at Alison, then turned to a man who was talking to Tracy Gauff not far away. She hesitated for a moment, and was about to walk over, but she didn't want anyone to get there first. Stephanie Seymour held several cups of coffee and joined her. He walked over, said a few words to the bodyguard standing by, and was placed next to Westeros.
Bichi!
I couldn't help but curse.
However, you should always ask questions about your future. Cindy nodded politely to Alison and walked towards Simon.
As expected, he was stopped by two bodyguards: "Miss Crawford, the boss doesn't want to be disturbed."
Cindy glanced at Stephanie Seymour, who was sitting directly next to Simon Westeros, smiled and said patiently: "I have something serious to talk to Simon."
It was originally an open rest area in the corner, but Cindy was stopped by the bodyguard. Simon quickly noticed that the test for Tracy Gauff had ended, and the results were satisfactory, so he signaled the bodyguard to let her go.
Cindy walked over and was originally going to sit down on the other side of Westeros, but she didn't expect Tracy Goff to take a step ahead of her without leaving a trace, so she had to sit on the single sofa next to her. She didn't express any dissatisfaction with Tracy Gauff. Seeing Stephanie Seymour who was closest to her, Cindy couldn't help but said in a condescending manner: "Fanny, how is your baby doing recently? I remember it's almost 100 days old. Alright?"
Stephanie Seymour came over and said, "That's great. The 100-day party has already been held. Seeing that you were very busy, I didn't invite you."
Cindy said secretly: "Then I can only wait until you and Peter get married to make up for the gifts. By the way, when do you and Peter plan to get married?"
Stephanie didn't seem to be affected by Cindy's words at all, and said with an expectant expression: "Next year, I will definitely invite you then. Remember to bring two gifts."
Seeing that Stephanie didn't respond, Cindy couldn't help but add: "In case you get pregnant unexpectedly again, I will prepare three copies in advance."
"Oh, thank you." Stephanie Seymour said, her smile not diminishing, but she changed the subject: "I heard that you are dating Shaquille O'Neal, Cindy, I advise you to be careful, the NBA gang The guy was in a mess, remember Magic Johnson just found out what that was, and a bunch of women rushed to the hospital."
Cindy didn't expect Stephanie to be so vicious, and subconsciously retorted: "I have nothing to do with O'Neal."
Stephanie hugged Simon's arm and shook it: "Come on, do you dare to swear to Simon?"
Cindy looked at Simon without showing any guilt. Just as she was about to speak, Simon quickly raised the coffee cup in his hand: "No, why don't you swear on this cup of coffee."
“…”
Qusi Gauff, who had just been pretending to be a little white rabbit eating melon silently, couldn't help laughing when Simon said this.
Cindy Crawford wanted to rush over and tear Stephanie Seymour's mouth to pieces. Seeing Simon's narrow smile, she looked aggrieved: "Simon, I'm not dating O'Neal."
Simon shrugged indifferently: "This is your private matter and has nothing to do with me. Did you just say you had something to do with me?"
Cindy nodded and looked at Stephanie again, wanting Simon to send the woman away. Noticing Cindy's eyes, Stephanie hugged the man's arm tighter, looking determined not to leave.
Simon watched the two women's eyes exchange and smoothed things over: "Okay, let's talk. If Fanny talks nonsense, I will kick her out of Victoria's Secret."
Stephanie immediately refused and said coquettishly: "Simon, I won't talk nonsense. What if someone else spreads it?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Qu Si Gauff on the other side of Simon.
Before Qusi Gauff could say anything, Simon looked like a partial parent: "That's yours too."
"Simon, you are so disgusting."
Cindy couldn't bear it anymore and teased: "Fanny, be careful, don't squeeze out the milk."
Stephanie looked over and her momentum changed instantly: "Do you want to drink?"
"I want to vomit."
"roll."
Simon was helpless: "Why don't you guys have a fight? Just don't scratch your face."
Stephanie turned to the man, her temperament changed again, and she said softly: "Simon, do you want to see us fight? However, there are too many people here, so it's not suitable. How about tonight?"
"It's more lively when there are more people. I can buy you some more Coca-Cola popcorn."
"Haha, bad guy."
Having already seen cats scratching each other verbally, Simon didn't expect them to actually fight. He patted Stephanie on the waist and said to her: "Okay, go and do your work. I'll talk to Cindy."
When the man spoke, Stephanie Seymour no longer insisted, but did not forget to lean into the man's ear without lowering her voice: "Remember to call me."
Simon smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of being known?"
Stephanie Seymour glanced at Cindy again: "If someone gossips, you will definitely kick her out of Victoria's Secret, right?"
Simon looked at Cindy teasingly: "It's not enough to get kicked out of Victoria's Secret. It will probably be kicked out of the fashion circle directly."
"Haha, then what should I be afraid of?"
The girl said, and finally boldly kissed the man on the cheek, then stood up and left.
After sending Stephanie Seymour away, Tracy Gauff no longer stayed by the man's side and took the initiative to get up and leave the rest area.
"You can talk now, what's going on?"
Cindy was in a bad mood because of Stephanie's revelation just now.
The fashion industry is like Hollywood. Many things are not secrets to people in the industry, but most of the news will not spread outside the industry.
Everyone exposes each other, and no one can have an easy time.
Cindy already regretted that she had just taken the initiative to run against Stephanie, but she didn't expect that she would get burned.
The two women left. When Simon asked, Cindy quickly cheered up: "Simon, it's actually about the movie that Warner and I signed, "Fair Game" produced by Joe Silver. A just said , you don’t like this movie?”
Joe Silver is one of Hollywood's famous gold medal producers, specializing in blockbuster-level action blockbusters, Mel Gibson's "Lethal Weapon" series and Bruce Willis' "Die Hard" series, as well as Many action movies by Stallone and Schwarzenegger were produced by Joe Silver.
When Cindy asked about this, Simon didn't hide it and nodded: "Yeah, I'm not very optimistic about it."
Cindy's last bit of luck was shattered, but she asked: "Well, A also said... He also said that this movie will have an impact on my career."
"This is just my personal judgment. However, Hollywood movies are like gambling. No one knows what the outcome will be before the market opens. Maybe my judgment is wrong."
"What if, right?"
"Well, at worst, you won't develop your career in Hollywood in the future. You're not an actor to begin with."
The projects of major Hollywood producers have always been the focus of studios, and Daenerys Entertainment is no exception. Simon has read the information about "Fair Game". It has a budget of 50 million US dollars, a standard blockbuster level, and there are many female protagonists. If such a project ends in failure, Cindy Crawford will not be able to think about it again in the future. What resources can I get in Hollywood
Hollywood is actually very superstitious.
Once the label of box office poison is attached, it will be very difficult to get rid of it.
Especially actresses,
And heroines like Cindy Crawford, who have just tried their hand at Hollywood and got blockbuster hits, seem to be successful. However, the higher the starting point, the harder the fall will be if they fail.
In my memory, after the high-profile hit of "Fair Game", except for occasional guest appearances, Cindy Crawford never starred in any other decent movies. The fashion world also began to change rapidly in the late 1990s. The model can only be willing to marry and become a woman.
When Cindy Crawford heard what Simon said, she didn't know how to make a decision.
As a supermodel who started to rise in the 1980s, she is also the kind who is very good at business. Unlike those vases who only know how to squander and don’t think about tomorrow, Cindy Crawford’s current net worth is quite rich. Last year, an industry magazine reported According to the evaluation, the supermodel's personal net worth reaches US$20 million. Even if she retires directly now, she will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
However, whether in Hollywood or the fashion industry, few people who have tasted the taste of Vanity Fair can no longer endure that kind of carefree but unknown life.
This is why many superstars and celebrities are prone to mental problems such as depression even though they are worth millions. One of the key factors lies in the long-term anxiety of worrying about losing. They are afraid that one day they will suddenly wake up and find themselves outdated. There is nothing left. The paparazzi stopped chasing me. The fans turned to other people. The voices that used to be very enthusiastic about ordering food at some well-known restaurants began to respond coldly. The seats are full, please wait in line.
Vanity Fair is like that.
Glossy, snobbish.
It can make people flock to it, and it can also drive people crazy.
Sensing Cindy's hesitation, Simon just smiled, raised his wrist to look at his watch, stood up and said, "I have something else to do, Cindy, see you next time."
I really hope this man can give me some more advice.
However, Cindy also knew that it was very rare for the other party to truthfully tell her that she was not optimistic about "Fair Game", and she could not ask for more.
It's probably impossible to get more.
Thinking of this, Cindy couldn't help but grit her teeth at Stephanie Seymour.
Instinctively, I felt that it must have been the revelation that the woman had just made that made Simon Westeros become cold towards him.
In this circle, it is very common for things to happen between men and women.
If it had been anyone else, Simon Westeros might not have cared too much.
This guy even has some special quirks.
However, when it comes to race, the results are different. Deep-rooted racial discrimination cannot be easily changed by everyone. Maybe they will never say it out loud, but many white men will no longer accept a woman who has had anything with a black man. The higher you go, the more so.
Simon Westeros is a playboy, but no one has ever seen a black girl around him.
This is enough to explain the problem.
Thinking of this, Cindy Crawford regretted even more. If she had known this, she would never have had a one-night stand with O'Neal.
