Cindy Crawford, who didn't know beforehand that Simon would come to watch the rehearsal today, rushed to the Lexington Avenue Arsenal in a hurry and spent half an hour walking through the opening theme. Finally, she had time to go to the grandstand. Simon A bunch of warblers and swallows have gathered around them.
After taking a look, there was Fernanda Lima on the left, and Tracy Gauff on the right. Behind her, on the step up, there were two goblins sitting sideways on both sides of the man's shoulders, even someone's feet. Not only on both sides, but also on both sides, a girl squeezed one leg between a guy's feet in a kneeling position, with her arms resting on the man's knees, and her slightly raised face showed a coquettish look.
Kneeling with both legs together is standard.
Cindy cursed quietly, but the smile on her face was impeccable. She squeezed away a girl outside without leaving a trace, ignored the other girl's eyes, stepped forward and said hello: "Hi, Simon."
When I got closer, I could see clearly that the girl in front of Simon was spreading a small hand in front of the man, not knowing what she was doing.
Simon was reading palms for a group of big goblins around him.
In my previous life, I got to know a lot about him through a costume TV drama project, not even scratching the surface. Now I am just talking nonsense and having fun with the girls. Of course, no one is taking it seriously. Today was just a walk-through rehearsal, and I happened to have a few hours to spare. Simon came here purely for eye candy.
Seeing Cindy greeting him, Simon smiled and responded: "Good morning."
Cindy glanced at the little hand of a certain big goblin that was still spread out in front of the man, and roughly understood something. The West actually has a similar theory of palmistry, but she still pretended to be curious and asked: "What are you doing?"
Simon scratched the palm of the girl in front of him and said, "It's obvious, look at the palm."
She originally wanted to get close to the man. After hearing this answer, Cindy immediately looked eager to try: "Can you help me take a look?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward a little more.
Simon smiled and shook his head: "This is not possible. Divination can only be done three times a day. Any more will not be accurate."
As soon as he finished speaking, a goblin behind Simon immediately broke the story: "Simon, including Heidi, you just watched six of them."
Simon tilted his head slightly and touched the head of the goblin who was leaning over from behind. Listening to the laughter in his ears, he explained without any guilt: "There are only three divination, and the other three are for admiration. Now, Heidi's The hands are just beautiful.”
"Mine too, Simon, you see, I even made a hand model."
"Yes, Not Bad."
"Thanks."
"And mine, mine, Simon, how about it?"
"80 points."
"Well, it's obviously 90 points, okay? Can you take a look again?"
"Okay, 10 more points."
"hehe."
Suddenly being ignored, Cindy looked at the fun in front of her and had some strange feelings. Is the man in front of her really a super rich man worth 700 billion US dollars? However, I quickly realized that those billionaires in my stereotype are generally old men. It is impossible for a guy to play and joke with a group of young girls like this. It would be against the rules to do so.
Now Simon Westeros, even though he is already standing high in the clouds, is actually only 27 years old. Many 27-year-old young people may not have left campus yet. Moreover, looking back on past contacts, this guy is definitely not the kind of person who deliberately puts on airs because of his elevated status. His skillful skills in dealing with people allow him to get along with anyone.
It's a pity that there are too many fairies at the moment.
Cindy thought she might not have a chance to chat with someone alone today, but a staff member from the Victoria's Secret show team came over to remind her, and Simon took the initiative to chase people away.
Work cannot be delayed.
After the girls dispersed, Cindy took a step forward in time and grabbed the spot where Qusi Gauff was just now. She found that there was also a new person on the other side, and it happened to be the one who was reading her palm when she came over.
Simon noticed Cindy's expression and helped introduce the girl on the other side: "This is Heidi. She is also a client of your Elite. Don't you recognize her?"
Cindy shook her head, but still reached out and said, "Hello."
The girl on the other side shook hands with Cindy and introduced herself: "My name is Heidi Klum, from Germany." Then she turned to Simon and said: "I have been working in Europe in the past few years since my debut, and I’m still a little shrimp, Cindy definitely doesn’t recognize me.”
Simon felt the girl wearing only a pink Victoria's Secret nightgown coming closer and said with a smile: "It won't be the case in the future, maybe even better than Cindy."
Heidi Klum.
The former Victoria's Secret veteran was nicknamed 'Hai Ma' by many fans.
However, because of Simon's big butterfly, some things have obviously changed. The Heidi Klum in my memory should be the winner of the Elite Model Contest in the early 1990s. This time, if Grace had not completed the takeover of Elite Later, a list of models with good potential was sent to Simon for him to choose. The 23-year-old Heidi Klum may only be an ordinary model under the Elite French branch who is relatively good but has difficulty getting ahead.
There is no shortage of beautiful skins in this world.
When entering the modeling circle, whether you can become famous depends on appearance and hard work, while luck accounts for eight.
In fact, Heidi Klum is not very in line with Simon's aesthetics. The main reason why he chose her was that Simon remembered the fashion reality show "Project Runway" hosted by Klum. This is obviously a very suitable candidate for the USA TV network. A project that favors female audiences, the former "Project Runway" lasted for nearly twenty seasons, which shows its popularity.
However, with Heidi Klum locked in first, Simon has no plans to make "Project Runway" in the short term.
Now, both the ABC public television network and the USA cable network, which have just been merged into Daenerys Entertainment, have a number of very popular television programs. Launching too many high-quality projects in a short period of time will distract the audience's attention.
Just like USA, after the hit "Sex and the City" launched this year, including the "Desperate Housewives" and "Honey Wives" series, there is no need to worry about the popularity of the USA TV network for at least the next three years. Simon's plan is to launch another main show in three years. programme. In addition, there is "America's Next Top Model" hosted by Tyra Banks, which is as famous as "Project Runway", and Simon has not forgotten it.
In the front lobby of the arsenal.
When Heidi Klum heard Simon say that she might be even more powerful than Cindy Crawford in the future, her eyes suddenly brightened a bit, and she looked at the man next to her and said, "Simon, are you free at noon? Maybe I have the pleasure of inviting you to lunch.”
Simon shook his head: "I have an appointment at noon."
"What about tonight?"
"Unfortunately, even at night."
Heidi Klum still didn't give up: "Then when do you have time?"
Simon smiled and said: "Let's talk about it later."
Heidi Klum heard this, glanced up at Cindy on the other side, and leaned slightly into the man's ear: "Simon, there's nothing to see here. Maybe, how about we go backstage to find a place to chat?"
Simon didn't answer, but just patted the girl's waist: "Don't stay by my side and go get busy. I don't like girls who are always lazy."
The man said this, and Heidi Klum had to get up and walk away.
Simon's words were actually aimed at Cindy, but the girl on the other side was still sitting still. When the man looked over, Cindy explained: "My themes have been arranged," and she looked at Simon with some resentment. You only gave me a small opening, so stingy."
The opening and closing of a fashion show often represent a model's status, whether it is a Victoria's Secret show or a HF show.
Cindy stepped down as a Victoria's Secret spokesperson this year, and her status naturally began to decline. However, being able to get an opening with a middle theme is not something that any other model can compare to.
Simon ignored the girl's complaint and just asked casually: "What have you been busy with recently?"
This question seemed to hit Cindy's heart again. She came over without leaving a trace, with a pitiful tone in her voice: "I'm almost unemployed."
Cindy That's not a lie.
The movie "Fair Game" produced by Warner Bros. and costing 50 million US dollars, starring the girl, was released two weeks ago on October 13. Even from the schedule, we can see Warner's attitude towards this project. As the heroine, Cindy some time ago Still running around to promote "Fair Game", I missed this year's Autumn Fashion Week for this reason.
It's a pity that after "Fair Game" was released, it opened to 1,949 screens, and its box office performance in the first week was only a pitiful US$6.39 million, with an average theater average of just over US$3,000. Not only that, according to the second-week box office data just released this morning, the film's box office performance in the second week of its release was almost halved, with the cumulative bi-weekly box office only a pitiful US$9.72 million.
Such sluggish box office performance has caused most theaters to withdraw the canvas of "Fair Game" today, and it is expected that it will barely recover another one or two million US dollars in box office in the future.
Lost everything.
Cindy now regrets not listening to Simon's advice.
Relying on the widespread popularity accumulated over the years, Cindy originally wanted to move from the fashion circle to Hollywood, and it was not difficult to obtain resources. Her previous guest appearance in the "Batman" series under Simon's arrangement also received a lot of recognition. , all of this was ruined by the movie "Fair Game".
Even if "Fair Game" had a box office of 20 to 30 million US dollars, it wouldn't be a big blow to her.
It’s just that the failure of this film was a bit tragic.
With a production cost of 50 million US dollars, it only recovered a little over 10 million US dollars at the box office, which basically meant that the entire budget was wasted, because the box office split could not cover the distribution costs.
Hollywood has always been a very superstitious world.
It just so happens that the main selling point of "Fair Game" is Cindy Crawford, so if you climb too high at the beginning, you will fall harder when you fail. Although many people can see that the failure of "Fair Game" is not Cindy's fault, since it has been labeled as a box office poison, it will be difficult for anyone in Hollywood to invite her to participate in other movies.
She missed her job at Autumn Fashion Week, her first Hollywood blockbuster failed miserably at the box office, and she resigned as a Victoria's Secret Angel spokesperson. If she hadn't been able to show her face at the fourth Victoria's Secret Show next month, she would have In this highly competitive world, Cindy may quickly fall silent.
However, the Victoria's Secret show can only barely help maintain its popularity.
Cindy knew that if she wanted to turn over, the most effective way was to get the support of a man.
Simon didn't react much to Cindy's pitiful expression and said, "According to your age, it's just right to retire now. You can still have time to do other things."
Other things
Cindy immediately thought of a certain waist girl who announced her retirement after the Versace show some time ago. If she could also have a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, it would be no problem to retire.
The key is that there isn't one.
Although Cindy has been able to earn millions of dollars every year in the past few years, she is relatively good at managing money and has accumulated a good net worth. However, after careful calculation, unless she finds a man with a rich net worth to marry, her hand will be The money there can't afford the long-term and comfortable life she wants.
Still have to work.
With this thought in mind, Cindy no longer hesitated and took the initiative to hug the man next to her and shake her arms: "Simon, can you help me?"
Simon gestured to the girls who were rehearsing their moves on the catwalk and said: "In the next few years, if you are still willing, you can continue. I can only help you here. In fact, there is no point in begging me. Model This career is destined to be difficult to last.”
Cindy still hugged Simon. Now that the man had let go, of course he couldn't give up. She asked again: "Then, can you give me some more advice?"
Simon felt the warm fragrance of nephrite beside him and could only think about it for a moment before saying, "Actually, you have already found the direction."
"Yeah," Cindy thought of "Fair Game" which had just failed miserably at the box office: "It's a pity it failed."
Simon said: "Then try other fields. Speaking of which, do you know what the secret is for public figures to maintain their popularity for a long time?"
Cindy looked at Simon curiously.
The big goblin is still very capable.
Simon pretended to be overwhelmed and deliberately hid, and said: "The key is to have your own masterpiece, a masterpiece that can make people remember you for a long time, whether it is a movie, TV, or anything else. Just like Sean Kang Nally, after so many years, when this name is mentioned, everyone's first reaction is 007, and vice versa, so he can still maintain his popularity in Hollywood."
This is the key reason why models in the fashion circle flock to the Victoria's Secret show.
In my memory, even though the Victoria's Secret Show has been cancelled, many models who have appeared on the Victoria's Secret T stage are still titled as Victoria's Secret Angels in various press releases. The reason is that the popularity of the Victoria's Secret Show can be regarded as Many models' masterpieces will be easier for the public to remember as long as they are associated with this show.
However, the Victoria's Secret show is ultimately a group fashion show. Except for a few supermodels who are highly praised by the brand, most people are not prominent in this fashion feast.
If you want to maintain your popularity, you still have to work in other directions as much as possible.
Cindy heard what Simon said, thought about it, and suddenly remembered Jerry Hall, who has been quite popular in recent years: "Simon, you mean, like Hall's "Fashion Workshop"?"
Although it is a TV program from a relatively professional and niche basic cable station like Fashion TV, "Fashion Workshop" has become more and more popular among the public, so it has become Jerry Hall's masterpiece and is widely known. The popularity also allowed Hall to gradually get rid of the title of Mick Jagger's wife, and his popularity became truly independent.
Simon nodded and said: "Yes, I remember you hosted a fashion show on MTV. Maybe you can try this aspect."
Cindy followed Simon's thoughts and gradually became enlightened.
Indeed, due to age, this path on the catwalk will definitely not last long, and Hollywood has been screwed by me. So, trying to develop into the television industry like Jerry Hall is probably my best direction. .
Um.
It just so happens that a guy next to me has just acquired Metropolis ABC Group. He must hug those thick thighs tightly.
