The other reason I said is actually very simple, America's Next Top Model. Male models are allowed to participate from this year.
This is a reality talent show, and the final reward of the show is also very attractive. Signing with the modeling agency that sponsors the show, the chance to be on the cover of a famous fashion magazine, and an advertising deal with a luxury brand.
Whether or not I can win the championship in this competition is just the first step in my trilogy. Get famous.
In this competition, the important thing for me is not whether I can win the championship, but whether I can win the hearts of the show. After all, this is an era of looking at faces. No reality show is more likely to attract fans than this model draft competition, where beauty accounts for most of the proportion.
The goal is to enter the entertainment industry, but I don't want to go into a career that is too restrictive like an actor and a singer. Reality TV star is the most suitable career direction for me after two years of research.
In the midst of all the attention, the urgency of worrying about being treated as an alien will make it easier for me to adjust my mental state. The shackles formed by external factors are the same as Sheriff Harry's presence on Dexter. I don't have a strong and responsible adoptive father, so create an external factor yourself.
And, if you want to hide your true self. Approachable integration into the community? In fact, this is just the most mediocre approach, and it is also the most easily debunked approach after the incident. In the profile analysis in criminal psychology, no matter how well you usually hide in the crowd, under the psychological analysis of the profiler, it will be revealed.
So, my purpose is not to hide, but to shape. When I participated in one after another reality show, I created a deeply influential image in people's hearts, as soon as my name was mentioned, who could easily pierce the thick shell and see dozens of layers What about me in the doll
"You're going to run for America's Next Top Model??!" Mike, for the first time, looked visibly surprised when he heard what I told him. He obviously couldn't understand why I, who pay so much attention to privacy, would suddenly choose to participate in a reality show that could expose all my information.
I nodded, poured iced milk into the two cups of boiling tea I had brewed, and put a cup of tea on the table in front of Mike. "That's right, America's Next Top Model started allowing male models to compete this year. The howl is big and the rewards are big. I just want to try it out before I go to college. Why, you don't have confidence in me?"
Mike, he took a sip of the tea and almost got burned. "No, of course I have full confidence in you." He grinned without a smile, "I just didn't expect you to want to participate in this kind of show... After all, you always seem to like what these young people like. not interested."
In fact, I had the idea of participating in a reality show for a long time. It's just that I didn't expect that the first application would be America's Next Top Model. I originally tended to be a social game like Big Brother, Survivor. After all, it's only the kind of social game that really allows me to exercise my mind control, both for others and for myself.
Moreover, reality shows expose the private lives of contestants. Compared to getting into the limelight through singing and acting, reality shows will take me less time and get more attention. And I want to use these concerns to monitor and control my own behavior from a third-party perspective. Because even if I stepped out of the mental sanatorium, I was actually still afraid of worrying about Brian's personality and the impact on me.
Of course, I'm not going to tell anyone my real purpose.
"I just didn't have the time and energy before. I sent the video I shot a month ago to participate in the initial audition, and then I received a notice of re-election two weeks ago. Tomorrow's flight to New York, it is expected that 35 places will be selected, and then there will be 35 places. When the first episode is officially filmed, it will be cut in half again." I smiled at Mike with the teacup in both hands.
Mike stared at the cup of tea without saying a word. After a while, he said, "No wonder you said you would resign without a word. It's still a month before you start classes at the university."
"I will take a day off after arriving in New York tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be the re-election, and then I will wait for a week's notice in New York. Bless me, don't be brushed off before the official shooting." I took a sip of tea and said.
…
From the small suitcase, I pulled out the simplest white T-sleeve, and the trouser legs of the straight jeans were rolled up at the calf, avoiding the high top of the Martin boots. I walked over to the mirror and brushed my hair. The ginger curls seemed to glow orange in the sunlight refracting from the window.
As if everything was in place, I stuffed a few changes and credit cards into my pants pocket, had my phone in my hand, picked a half-finished book from my suitcase, opened the hotel room door, and walked out.
Although I am often called a little old man by Mike, when I pass the time, I still prefer to read the psychological works that he thinks are difficult and obscure. New York's re-election heard that thousands of people came, and it's always good to have something to pass the time.
It took ten minutes by taxi to arrive at the selection site, a large studio. At this point, the studio was cleared of all sets and cameras, and there were only rows of chairs for the models to wait in line. After receiving my number, I found a place where no one was at random and sat down, and opened the book in my hand.
There is still half an hour before the official start time, but almost everyone has already arrived. At a glance, most of the boys who came to participate in the audition tended to be neutral, which made some boys who were more masculine in comparison attracted special attention. while also being alert.
There is no discriminatory meaning, it can be said that gays are also the majority of the audience of American supermodels. However, for the fashion industry that respects female models, only male models full of masculinity can bring out the sexy and softness of women. At this point these excited boys are probably going to be disappointed.
I'm not interested in joining the social game of people who don't know if there will be communication in the end, just sitting a little lonely in the corner to distract my thoughts. After turning a chapter, Rob Evan showed up with a camera, causing a commotion.
Rob Evan is a model judge in the America's Next Top Model except supermodel Tate. Naturally, he is the representative of male models. Like Taylor, Rob is a black supermodel, with a dark complexion but a deep, angular face due to his mother's mixed white blood.
I thought that Rob's appearance as a male model judge in the first America's Next Top Model contest with male models was an accident, but unexpectedly, Taylor, the mainstay of America's Next Top Model, and Jonathan, the creative director and location host of the shooting, also followed closely. Appeared on the scene after Rob.
The staff began to instruct the models to go on the runway in groups according to the numbers they got. The models who got affirmed took another number plate and walked aside to wait for another screening. The models who were rejected face to face left with a blank face.
I waited almost another hour to be called to my number, and it seems I'm a little late. I was in a group with a male model and two female models, which seemed to be a well-balanced configuration. When the number was called for the first time, they were already in the crowd watching, and when they heard their number, they jumped out excitedly.
I rubbed my brows and stood up, closed the book, put it on the chair, and walked around the crowd to the place where the camera lens was directly in front of me. "I'm sorry, I borrowed it." I smiled and squeezed out of the crowd.
Every move under the camera is an exam, and I calculate my every move precisely as if I were standing on a stage. I walked out of the divided crowd, maintaining a flat smile on the faces of the three models with their excited expressions.
"Bryan Moss?" Jonathan called my name as he took the last document from the staff.
"Yes, sir." The crowd covered the curls on my forehead between my brows, and while I answered Jonathan, I raised my right hand and brushed the hair behind my forehead, letting it slip behind my ears.
Seeing my Jonathan and Taylor looking at each other and smiling, I didn't seem to notice their interaction and just walked up to the three models. I could feel the sudden tension around me, and the camera's focus shot across the four of us standing side by side.
As the camera swiped across the male model beside me, I pretended to inadvertently raised my eyes that were looking at the ground in front of me, and looked straight into the camera. The camera freezes for a second, then I look away and smile away.
"You can start." Rob raised his hand and signaled.
The crowd quieted down, and the male model beside me clearly wanted to walk in front of me, not knowing that I had been staring at his elbow from the corner of my eye. I took this step almost at the same time as his elbow wiggled slightly. My pace was steady and powerful, while he seemed to have a quick start because he wanted to get a step ahead.
Martin boots elongated the overall line of my body, and there were clearly audible footsteps on the ground. My eyes caught on Rob who was looking at him, and after he looked away, I turned to Taylor again.
As the distance approached, the gaze that could have been looking down had to look down, because Taylor Robb in the judges was sitting. I took a step away from Taylor, a faint smile appeared at the corner of my mouth, and my eyes began to look straight behind the judges.
I didn't use my eyes to catch the judges' eyes as persistently as the male model beside me. I just raised my jawbone with that faint smile. I know it's too much.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Jonathan's constant gaze on me, and I knew that at least in the jury table I had caught a judge who would speak for me.
At the end, the models need to stand still. I didn't force an awkward shape, just a random standing pose, and the smile on the corner of the mouth did not deviate at all.
"Okay, thank you," Taylor said. She glanced at Bi in the documents on the table and put it down in her hand. Rob also turned his head and discussed with her in a low voice for a moment. Jonathan seemed to have no objection to their choice.
Then Tyler raised his head again, "Alice Ann, Brian Moss, please go to the side to get your second-choice number plate."
I moved my steps and smiled from Rob's side of the judges to Jonathan's side, just to make sure they saw the smile on my face, and then passed the male model who looked a little dejected next to me, and walked to the one called Ellie. Sitting beside the female model.
Alice's model steps are very powerful and standard, and her facial features are the most standard Germanic facial features, with blond hair, there is no possibility that she will not be among the 35 people.
I said hello to her, and the two walked side by side to the staff holding the number plate and took the number plate. She would be a foe, I had a very strong instinct. Alice obviously has a lot of modelling experience, and I'm guessing she'll be pretty good at posing for hard shots, and with her face, I'm pretty sure she's done a lot of flat work.
But she also has the biggest weakness as a model. I kept smiling the same, watching Alice lowered her gaze subconsciously when she took the number plate. She was very nervous about meeting people's eyes, and her self-confidence was low.
She rarely sets her eyes on the male models around her. I guess she has been hurt by her ex-boyfriend or ex-husband. Looking at her clasped hands hanging between her legs, her left hand has been stroking the base of her right ring finger. Maybe she just took off her ring, a woman who just got divorced after hesitating for a long time.
Although I don't know why she got married at such a young age, maybe it was because of her dependence on men caused by her popularity in school. After entering the society, she subconsciously wanted to tie herself and her boyfriend together. But obviously the person she originally liked hit her hard.
Oh, I suddenly looked away. It seems rude to casually profile someone who is about to get along for a month.
The second selection required the models to walk the runway in underwear only, and had side, front, and full body shots taken. The panties I was wearing were the usual white tights, not the white triangles that went too far, but the short ones that wrapped around the base of my thighs. What kind of trousers can my leg shape show better, I am handy.
Unlike most Caucasians, I seem to have less body hair, saving me the hassle of hair removal. As for the photo shooting of recording personal information, because the striptease training is carried out in the dance practice room, the mirrors surrounded by it day after day, let me master the angle of my body with ease.
In front of the camera, although it is also a frontal photo, the angle of the lower jaw can determine the feeling of the whole photo. The side photos are also far away, maybe just a single-digit angle deviation, which can turn you from a mediocre ID photo into a work of art. How full body shots reveal the curves and textures of the body, and find light and shadow, is also a skill I have learned with practice.
The second-choice catwalk is a one-person show, back and forth, and Taylor will ask some personal questions after the catwalk. Chris' number was very similar to mine, and her answer really matched my guess about her ex-husband.
Most of the models answered Taylor's question "Why do you want to participate in America's Next Top Model?" They only answered the standard answer that modeling is their dream, but I know the essence of America's Next Top Model is a variety show.
There are three cameras currently being filmed, at each major angle. If it's just for recording, I don't need so many cameras, so I know that the recording of the show has already started. How to be sure your share won't be cut in so many shots, in addition to the catwalk, and your story.
Yes, the bloody and sympathetic story happened to a handsome boy. Is there anything more attention to this season, which is a showdown between male and female models
"Brian, why do you want to come to America's Next Top Model?" Taylor asked this question after I finished walking.
