Three days later, Lin Dan went to the studio for the recording of "Tianqiao Hegemony". This is a variety show that selects cutting-edge fashion designers. Anyone who has a designer's dream and has superb tailoring and design talents can sign up to participate. To showcase the work of these candidates, the show team equipped each of them with a model.
A very luxurious runway was set up in the main studio. The host and producer Cindy was talking with several staff members. The three invited judges were also here. They are still resting at the moment. Makeup in the room.
Lin Dan shared a lounge with fifteen other models, and was observing the surrounding environment while changing clothes. It was only now that she realized how lucky the original owner was to be admitted. Although these models were not famous, they were all standard zero figures and could go to a serious show. The original owner's figure was the thickest, although Lin Dan lost a few pounds after coming here, but it was also very abrupt.
Several models glanced at her secretly, and then discussed: "How did she get selected? Is she too fat?"
"Don't you know her? She's Lin."
"Oh, isn't that the oriental elf? It used to be very red."
"Yes, that's her. Now the hottest Oriental model, Zhong Yuxiu, made her debut under the banner of Xiao Lin Dan, but the main reason was that she was fired by the company because of her fatness, and the imitators became very popular."
"She can't even manage her own weight, what a failure!"
"I can't blame her either. Her breasts are too big for a high-end show."
"Then there's no way, so I'm happy with my A-cup."
Several people looked at each other's flat chests, then covered their mouths and snickered. They thought their voices were very low, but in fact, Lin Dan's five senses were excellent, and he had heard it long ago, but there was no expression on his face. Being talked about doesn't affect her in any way. She is more concerned about her salary and rent owed now.
While thinking about it, a staff member came in to communicate with the models about the shooting process. Facing the camera, everyone was nervous, but Lin Dan was always calm. I don't know why, but she seems to be very used to facing the camera and the audience. Come to think of it, she should have been a public figure in the past.
"Ok, I'll call you later." The staff said with a palm.
At this time, another staff member walked in, glanced around among the models, and soon found Lin Dan, who was particularly conspicuous, and whispered to his colleague in French, "That's why Mr. Dodge specifically asked us to admit. The model? This figure is too non-standard, I am worried that the contestants will have opinions."
"Mr. Dodge is the investor of this show. They can only hold back if they have any opinions. Let's go, go to the recording studio to see if the lighting is set up." The two hurried away with the schedule, but Lin Dan couldn't help it. frowned.
The original owner lives in a neighborhood where foreign immigrants are mixed, and has been working everywhere since he was a child. He has an excellent language talent, so he has mastered six languages at a young age. Thanks to her, Lin Dan could also understand French, so he accidentally learned a little truth. It turned out that the original owner would be admitted as a trick, but in the other party's memory, Lin Dan could not find the slightest intersection with Mr. Dodge.
The full name of this Mr. Dodge is Auston Dodge. He is both an investor and a judge of this show, and a top fashion designer. He has served as the art director of C, B, and F. The brand has presented the altar of high-end luxury, and he is also known as the godfather of the fashion circle, the judge and creator of beauty.
However, the godfather suddenly announced his resignation from the position of art director of the f family a year ago, and has been dormant since then, never participating in any public activities, let alone producing a work. There are rumors that he has exhausted his talents, and there are rumors that he is adjusting his state, but in any case, he is not willing to leave this place that he loves. It is precisely because of his joining that the variety show "Tianqiao Hegemony" became popular before it was filmed, attracting countless applicants.
Lin Dan checked all his memories, and then became more certain that the original owner had nothing to do with Auston Dodge. In that case, how was she selected? Seeing that the show was about to start filming, Lin Dan could only silently press this question into his heart and speed up his makeup.
Ten minutes later, the host Cindy called out the models for the contestants to choose. Models with good body and good temperament were quickly snatched away, and Lin Dan naturally fell to the end, matching with the designer who won the last one. This man was a young man with nose studs and lip rings, with heavy makeup, but it couldn't hide his tender facial features.
He reluctantly took Lin Dan off the stage, teased her with his eyelids, and murmured, "So fat."
"I will lose weight." Lin Dan said seriously.
The boy's cheeks bulged, and he said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, even if you are a fat man of 180 pounds, I can design clothes that suit you. I'm here to win the championship, do you understand? It's just an accident, I won't choose you if my ranking is higher in the next few rounds."
Lin Dan: "..." What about not leaving
The two sat under the stage and listened carefully to Cindy's introduction to the theme and rules of the next competition, and then returned to the studio to measure their body data. The boy's name is Riel, who is one year younger than Lin Dan. He was admitted to a famous art academy this year, majoring in fashion design. The reason why he signed up for the show was to meet his idol, Auston Dodge, and to prove it by the way. own strength.
When measuring the measurements, he kept complaining: "Oh my God, your waist is so thick! God, you are a C cup! Look at the fat on your arms, it is impossible for me to design a sleeveless dress for you, you Seriously destroyed my inspiration."
Other designers and models were watching this pair of losers, but Lin Dan didn't feel nervous at all. She silently responded to Riel's complaints. After the end, she took a few hundred dollars from the staff, went back and paid part of the rent immediately, and showed her work permit to the landlord to show that she would have a continuous income in the future. , fully capable of repaying the remaining balance.
The landlord is no longer aggressive, and congratulations to her for finally finding a new job. When he got home, Lin Dan immediately acupuncture, took medicine, did exercise, and put on a homemade mask and skin care products before falling asleep to ensure that he was in the best condition at all times. For some reason, she is very good at making skin care products with pure Chinese herbal ingredients, which is probably due to her previous experience.
Two days later, Lin Dan went to the studio again to participate in the recording of the show. Riel made her a silhouette skirt, although it covered the fat on her body, it also lost some of the beauty. Lin Dan could point out at least five shortcomings with just a glance, but he didn't say a word. This is Riel's work and competition, and she is not qualified to point fingers at him.
The original owner was able to quickly become popular back then, and his steps would naturally not be bad, but Lin Dan has always been good at dealing with all kinds of troublesome scenes, so he showed his works easily. As she walked through the runway, she finally saw the legendary Auston Dodge, who was wearing a black shirt with several buttons at the top unbuttoned, revealing a sturdy chest, with brown curly hair underneath. Zhang Jun's face was as beautiful as Apollo's, and his green eyes not only did not show any vitality, but instead were as cold as frost. His long legs had nowhere to rest, so they could only lazily overlap, holding a notebook and a The pen was recording something at once.
He exuded the arrogance that belonged only to Nordic men. He didn't look at the models the whole time, and only glanced indifferently when Lin Dan passed by.
Lin Dan was almost certain that it was just the man's whim that he would be admitted. From his cold, inorganic eyes, she could not see the slightest appreciation of men for women. This result made Lin Dan feel completely at ease. She has no power or power now, and it is best not to cause trouble. Maybe being with Auston can make her popular quickly, but she really can't do stalking things, and she won't sell herself for fame and fortune.
She just glanced at each other quickly and walked back to the backstage, waiting for all the works to be displayed before walking back to accept the comments of the judges. Riel stood beside her, trembling with nervousness, Lin Dan felt a little soft-hearted when he saw his pitiful appearance, and couldn't help rubbing his head.
Riel glared at her with bulging cheeks, as if to say: "It's all your fault that you are too fat, otherwise I will definitely be able to design better works."
Lin Dan looked up at the sky and said that he couldn't help.
Several judges gave their evaluations one by one, and Auston made a summary. He first named the top three, said some words of encouragement, then named the bottom three, and pointed at Lin Dan and said, "This dress has no sense of design at all, it's like a sack that goes directly over the model. If your model has a great body and a first-class temperament, you can make up for this lack, but unfortunately your model is in poor physical condition, which will only make this already terrible dress even more terrible. I suggest you look at Make some improvements in tailoring and lines, and don't blindly pursue leniency in order to hide the model's fat." In three or two sentences, both Riel and Lin Dan were scolded.
Riel's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, and he looked like he was about to cry, but Lin Dan was still calm.
Fortunately, this episode of the show will not eliminate any players, and Riel survived with the last result. He was arranged by the host to select the model at the end and matched with Lin Dan again.
Lin Dan lowered his head and looked at the boy who was about to cry, and sighed, "I will try my best to lose weight, don't cry, okay?"
Riel said fiercely: "The next recording will be in seven days. I hope you can lose three to five pounds. This is my minimum requirement."
Lin Dan nodded seriously: "Okay, I promise to lose weight within seven days." Although the fashion industry has gradually loosened the weight restrictions on models, and even large-size models have appeared, in high-end shows, the zero-size model is still the most popular. welcome. If Lin Dan wants to go further and stand taller, she must maintain a perfect figure. Fortunately, this is not difficult for her.
