In the eyes of everyone, the time finally came to November 2. ⊥,
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will start at 7:00 p.m. and end at 8:30 p.m. if all goes well. The after-party will be arranged at the Gramercy Hotel not far from the Arsenal.
From the early morning of this day, media reporters stationed in New York began to gather near the Arsenal on Lexington Avenue. Just after noon, the roads within a few hundred meters near the Arsenal were crowded with media from all sides. After Firefly communicated with the New York Municipal Transportation Department, the road between two blocks around the Arsenal was blocked early in the morning on November 2. Fortunately, the Arsenal is located at the southern end of Lexington Avenue, which is not a busy area of New York traffic. The road blockade will not cause serious consequences to nearby public transportation, so the municipal transportation department readily approved Firefly Group's request.
The entire project team had already entered the arsenal in the early morning of November 2nd to make the final intense preparations. Under strict security, even the invited media could only be approved to enter the venue after the time for admission arrived. Most of the uninvited reporters can only wait patiently outside the arsenal, hoping to get some useful information.
Although the guest entry time is six o'clock in the evening, there has never been a shortage of people in this world who expect attention for various purposes. The place where hundreds of thousands of media people gather is undoubtedly the key area where these people come and go. Some reporters who had occupied a good shooting position since the early morning and began to squat outside the arsenal, after taking photos of the project team entering the field, thought that they would not get useful news until the afternoon, but they obviously underestimated this time The influence of fashion events and the determination of some people to be famous.
Throughout the day, on the street near the arsenal, there were all kinds of people trying to 'get famous', and of course most of them were models. After all, there are only forty lucky winners in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. As a fashion capital, there are countless dream-chasing girls who gather here and feel the influence brought by the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The models on the runway took a different approach.
Some slightly powerful celebrity models often bring a small team. Taking all kinds of photos on the streets near the arsenal, in order to publish news such as "Attending the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" in the newspaper the next day, even though they did not even have the opportunity to step inside the arsenal, but for this kind of In the circle, no one will pursue the little tricks of gaining fame by default.
Little models who have no strength can only show off their beautiful clothes, or keep walking around this section of the street, or pretend to wait for their friends to stand under the street lights for a few hours. Doing so can also harvest countless lights flashlights, although most of the photos would be discarded by these reporters. But as long as a small part can appear in newspapers and magazines, it is an opportunity for these girls. If they can attract the attention of some fashion tycoons, they can reach the sky in one step. This kind of thing is not without precedent. Cindy Crawford attracted the attention of the fashion industry by relying on a few street shots accidentally taken by tabloid reporters, and thus stepped to where she is today.
In the face of these famous little models, the reporters gathered around the arsenal often maintain a high-profile attitude of knowing the inside story, and occasionally press the shutter a few times like a gift or with a slight adjustment. But as the evening draws near. Looking enviously at some colleagues being arranged to enter the arsenal in advance, all the media people cheered up and waited for the arrival of six o'clock. These people know it all. In Eric's current capacity, even if he sends an invitation to the Federal President for the fashion show he personally produced, it is estimated that the Clintons may not necessarily refuse. Although the Victoria's Secret project team did not announce any list of guests, the lineup of guests who will attend the Victoria's Secret show today is definitely very strong.
However, the hour hand had just reached five forty. At the end of the red carpet outside the arsenal, an arrogant white extended concierge car appeared. Westerners' concept of time is almost deeply ingrained. This somewhat abrupt move surprised everyone, but the flashing lights still went on crazily. stand up.
After the driver of the courtesy car got out of the car, he opened the door respectfully. The baby-faced girl in a short pink trench coat couldn't wait to jump out of the car.
"It's so lively," Xiao Nizi said to herself with a smile, and then waved to the nearest group of reporters: "Hi, everyone."
Seeing the appearance of Drew, who has an unusually close relationship with Eric, the reporter group boiled up, and when they heard the voice of Xiao Nizi saying hello, there was a mess of responses.
Someone asked loudly: "Miss Barrymore, are you here to cheer for Mr. Williams?"
Xiao Nizi nodded with a smile: "Yes."
Amidst the noisy voices, a very bold reporter raised his voice and asked, "Miss Barrymore, what do you think of the scandal between Mr. Williams and Heidi Klum?"
Xiao Nizi's smile remained unchanged: "The things you wrote are very interesting, so I don't have any opinions. Just let everyone be happy."
This slightly sarcastic remark made some reporters feel uncomfortable, and some people noticed that Xiao Nizi was standing at the end of the red carpet and seemed not to rush forward. She was about to ask in doubt when the door of the concierge car opened again. gave them the answer.
The rear door of the courtesy car opened, and two blond Russian girls with the same height and appearance stepped out of the car. The twins were wearing the same dark tunic and black boots, with a heroic look almost like a soldier under their elegant appearance.
Although Xiao Nizi still likes to play and make trouble in recent years, she has kept a low profile and hardly appeared in the media. She suddenly brought the Russian twins in front of the reporter group, causing a slight uproar.
"Miss Barrymore, who are these two beautiful ladies, and are they also models?"
Xiao Nizi casually put her little hands in her pockets, walked leisurely on the red carpet towards the gate of the arsenal, and replied, "They are Natasha, not models, but my bodyguards."
Although they noticed the slightly cold aura emanating from the Russian twins, the two identical delicate faces made it hard for them to believe in the twins' occupations: "Miss Barrymore, you must be joking, or, they Will you play the role of a bodyguard in a movie of the Firefly Group?"
"Hehe, your idea is very interesting. I will let them try it if I have a chance."
Having said that, Xiao Nizi walked to the gate of the arsenal with the twins. The tall guard waited for Drew to approach, but he didn't mean to ask Xiao Nizi to show the invitation letter at all. Respectfully put Xiao Nizi and the others in. This move immediately caused dissatisfaction among some people.
A reporter asked in a questioning tone: "Hey, big man, doesn't Drew Barrymore need an invitation letter?"
However, the person who asked the question only got a big rolled-up eye.
Xiao Nizi walked into the outer hall of the arsenal, randomly picked up a pen and drew a few strokes in front of the photo wall, and walked away under the surprised eyes of some special reporters who were not ready to take pictures. Walking in the corridor leading to the backstage, Xiao Nizi looked at the surrounding layout with great interest, and suddenly asked the twins behind her: "Natasha, how did it feel to be noticed just now?"
The twins looked at each other. One of them said, "Boss, it feels... awkward."
"Hehe, that's right, as long as you don't like this feeling, otherwise you will be very distressed."
The twins nodded at the same time and followed Drew quietly. They all knew why Drew said that, because even they liked this feeling. This seemingly harmless boss will not give them too many chances to feel this feeling, their fate is already doomed.
Think so. The figure of the young man who was about to see emerged in the hearts of the twins at the same time. He liked to let them call him master. Although they knew the different meaning hidden in it, they couldn't resist too much, but they were more in awe. . Because they knew that although the young man was young, he was a very, very powerful big shot. He owns even more wealth than the state treasury of the Russian Federation after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Although this wealth has nothing to do with them, it has brought them an unprecedented sense of security.
After Xiao Nizi appeared, the time soon came to six o'clock, and the concierge cars began to stop outside the not too long red carpet. The crowd of reporters outside the red carpet began to frantically press the shutter. New York political and business celebrities, fashion tycoons, media company executives, and Hollywood superstars, all of whom would seldom gather together, were all in the reporters' field of vision. . Although Eric didn't have any intention of wanting these guests to take away too much of the Victoria's Secret Angel's limelight, he didn't refuse these people to come to join him. It is undeniable that the influence brought by the appearance of these big figures will definitely make the media discuss fiercely for a while, and keep the topic of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show until the official broadcast period in December.
As the time passed, the special guests could still walk the red carpet, but most of the ordinary guests could only enter the arsenal through other passages, otherwise, a thousand guests would not be able to enter the venue within an hour. .
It was approaching seven o'clock, listening to the hustle and bustle that could still be heard from the outside world, and Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of the American version of "Vogue" magazine, who was sitting in the front row on the left side of the catwalk, whispered to the "Vogue" beside her. Jane Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone magazine, was chatting, but she looked at the luxurious guests around and the professional and gorgeous layout of the venue, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Since becoming the editor-in-chief of "Vogue" magazine, in recent years, no matter if it is a big show of any fashion brand, as long as she appears, she is definitely the most eye-catching figure in the field. Before those big shows, the main person in charge and the designer will take the initiative Come out and say hello to her. But today, Anna Wintour felt the "long-lost" feeling of being left out for the first time. However, she didn't feel angry or depressed, because many people around her were far above her in fame and status. Not to mention tycoons in other industries, just not far from her is Shiyi Newhouse, the boss of Condé Nast Group, the parent company of Vogue, and Anna Wintour, who used to be greeted by others, just now Went over to greet each other.
The time finally came to seven o'clock, and with a few soft clicks, the lights in the venue changed rapidly, the guest seats became dim, and the runway, which was already covered with silver sequins, became even brighter. All eyes turned to the giant arch.
In front of the hard rear-projection giant screen behind the arch, special rock instruments have been placed. Anna Wintour couldn't help but think of some rumors in her heart, and she was even more puzzled and expecting that it would not be Eric Williams. Come on stage and perform yourself.
However, she quickly threw this idea away. Eric directed a fashion show in person and said that it would be too outrageous for him to perform on stage in person in his current capacity. Thinking about it, Anna Wintour asked the founder of "Rolling Stone" Jane Wenner beside her in a low voice: "Jane, have you heard that there will be any bands performing on stage this time?"
Jane Wenner shook her head: "I don't know. Some news we got is that Firefly Group will launch some singers under its own banner. I heard that Jeffrey Katzenberg reorganized all the music of Firefly's subsidiary some time ago. Department, created Firefly Records. However, judging from the scandal at the front end, everyone knows that all the bgm of this big show was written by Eric Williams himself. His song " ne-divide" is simply amazing, I guess this song will definitely not disappoint, I am really looking forward to it."
Anna Wintour nodded. She was not very interested in music, but was looking forward to what kind of insider show Eric would present this time.
After the lights came on, Eric came out quickly, made a short speech in person, and then retreated amid applause.
The lights in the arena changed again, the bright red light dyed the entire runway red, and the entire arena seemed to be dyed a dazzling red.
The sound of rattling drums sounded, and the British guard of honor stepped out under the red lights and began to perform the pre-show.
Some people in the arena still maintain a strong curiosity, but others are a little bit indifferent. What is this
However, the figure that sounded after that quickly answered their doubts. When the drumbeat left the runway more and more hurriedly, the announcer announced the first theme of the Victoria's Secret show: British Invasion.
A few strange rock youths walked onto the stage, and the bursting music rang out immediately.
