Chapter 1267 Blocked
Manhattan is buzzing this Saturday, November 22.
There was a traffic jam on Fifth Avenue in the morning due to the opening of Tinkerbell's store, and then, in the evening, the traffic jam happened again, this time near the famous Lexington Avenue Armory, because of the annual Victoria's Secret charity party .
After the fifth edition last year, the Victoria's Secret show, which lasted for five years and came to an abrupt end at its peak, made many media and fans feel very sad.
Probably the Victoria's Secret brand felt the voice of everyone and gave this grand annual party as a compensation.
So, since the morning, many media and fans have been camping near the Arsenal on Lexington Avenue. As the evening approached, more and more people gathered, blocking the entire street again.
For some careful people, today's two traffic jams that seem to be unwilling to do anything but are actually closely related are really emotional.
Gossip with Princess Diana, "Counter-Strike OL" explosion, $10 billion funding for genetic research, the opening of the Tinkerbell store, the Victoria's Secret annual charity party and the lively Thanksgiving schedule... The world can no longer hold Simon West Luo, everything started to get blocked.
Outside the arsenal.
A large number of security guards and policemen were in the concierge car passageway that was difficultly carved out by the crowd. In an extended Bentley, the 19-year-old Shen Gui didn't have any insight, and was only nervous.
This is the biggest event she has participated in since she became a Simon woman. The team around her is working around the party that is already close at hand. Next, she will join forces with several other models from China to do a Similar to the marketing of the fashion circle 'China Gang'.
Nothing can be lost.
Not to mention anything else, but she was wearing this high-end Versace haute couture dress that could buy a villa in Beijing, which made Shen Gui a little trembling. She was specially reminded that if the trillions are damaged and dirty, she can only buy them out of her own pocket.
$350,000!
Where can I afford my poor little purse?
Therefore, even though she knew that there was a man behind her back, Shen Gui was still cautious.
The concierge car stopped at the entrance of the red carpet outside the arsenal, which was not too long. Several staff members in the car checked it for her, and after confirming that it was correct, they informed the driver to open the door.
The car door opened, and the sound of restless cheers came in immediately.
And, the intense winter chill.
Fire and ice alternate.
Shen Gui, who had just stepped forward, was agitated by the atmosphere and the chill, and almost subconsciously retreated. She quickly took a deep breath, and then mustered up her courage again, and stepped out of the car door.
colder.
Hotter.
It is a neutralization.
According to the rehearsal received in advance, try to relax as much as possible and move forward slowly.
Her eyes naturally looked around. Although she was not as tall as Jiang Mi, who was 187 centimeters, she was tall after all. Coupled with high heels, it was easy to look out of the surrounding crowd a little bit.
so many people!
I felt emotional again in my heart, and even had some doubts, it was just a party, how could there be so many people?
However, this is not the time to be distracted.
This time we came to North America together, the domestic manager An Xiaohan, who was wearing a staff sign, was at the edge of the red carpet, and he was gesturing to her as he walked along. , to pose in front of a photographer arranged directly here.
A very important promotional material in the plan.
Keeping a smile, she walked slowly to the area where the media gathered near the door. Compared with the two guests who just passed by, the intensity of the flashlights surrounding her was much weaker. Shen Gui, who was also delicate in mind, was inevitably disappointed, but she also understood that she It is already lucky for a Chinese girl to be able to stand here, and it is impossible to expect too much.
An Xiaohan came to a photographer with an Asian face outside the fence step by step. Shen Gui also confirmed the target, and posed several poses towards that side in a row, until she caught a glimpse of a guest behind him approaching from the corner of her eye, and then slowed down again. step forward.
Entering the arsenal, An Xiaohan immediately greeted her, and said with a smile: "Relax, you have performed very well, just now Jiang Mi, huh, I thought she would be more stable than you. Don't say anything, hurry up, just go I miss you, the four of you are going to take a group photo in front of the media wall."
Shen Gui was a little curious about what happened to Jiang Mi just now.
A tall girl of 187 cm, with a glamorous and heroic appearance, Jiang Mi should have been the most qualified among the three of Qin Buzui and the others if she wasn't a little too tall. On weekdays, Jiang Mi also looks proud and indifferent.
However, now is not the time to ask.
It was carefully explained in advance that outside the red carpet, there are only ordinary media who actively come to join in the fun. After entering the venue, there is an official media area and signature wall inside, and then there is the party hall.
As for the four of them An Xiaohan talked about, they were Jian Xin, Tao Yuelei, Jiang Mi and Shen Gui herself.
The other Zhu Momo and Qin Buzui did not come.
Shen Gui is not familiar with Zhu Momo, but Qin Buzui surprised her a little. In the initial contact, Shen Gui thought that Qin Buzui should be the one who was most eager to climb up among the three of them, and even regarded him as a threat.
However, all of a sudden, I don't know what happened, and when she returned to China, the girl seemed to drop everything suddenly and went to the National People's University to go to school.
Renmin University of China.
This is also considered to be the second highest institution of higher learning in China after Tsinghua University and Peking University.
If it was before, if possible, Shen Gui herself would definitely not let go of the opportunity to study in this kind of university.
It's different now.
To be able to go abroad, to become famous, and to rely on a certain big shot... Why do I need to go to school? Waste of time is not. Besides, Qin Buzui chose to study sociology, what's the use of that?
Of course, without a strong competitor, Shen boudoir is still very happy in her heart.
Just like the red carpet just now, Shen Gui knew that among the three of them, Qin Buzui must be the most stable, because in Shen Gui's view, she had no psychological barriers at all and was completely transparent. If she read more books, Shen Gui could describe Qin Buzui more accurately, as the kind who completely liberated her nature.
However, Shen Gui originally thought that her family should be at the bottom among the three, just like being next to men, the proud Jiang Mi and the flattering Qin Buzui are obviously more liked by men than her.
With these thoughts floating in her mind intermittently, Shen Gui followed An Xiaohan's guidance to the internal official media area, walked up to the signature wall with the Victoria's Secret brand logo printed on it, wrote down her name, and first took some photos alone. Focus on their own professional photographer, and then Jian Xin, Tao Yuelei and Jiang Mi three appeared.
Four Chinese girls came on stage together.
Also according to the rehearsal in advance, they filmed continuously for nearly a minute and stepped off the stage together. Only then did Shen Gui have the opportunity to take a look at Jiang Mi, who An Xiaohan said what happened just now. The still proud and heroic expression was obviously a little more sullen, and it seemed that something really happened.
It is inevitable that there will be some gloating and some expectations.
Qin Buzui withdrew, Jiang Mi went out, I was at the bottom of the list, should I be at the top? Well, if you don't compare with Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei.
After the process was completed, it was time for Shen Gui to relax a lot.
You can replace the Versace Haute Couture on your body!
Led by An Xiaohan and several other assistants to the changing room specially opened in the arsenal, he took off the high-end tailoring on his body and changed into a cheaper water blue Gucci dress. Shen Gui finally recovered from the heat.
However, after leaving the changing room, Shen Gui found that there were only her and Jiang Mi left.
Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei have already left.
I asked An Xiaohan curiously, but regretted it after I asked, because I learned that Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei would also perform as guests of the party's brand display session.
Immediately felt the gap again.
Even though it was just one time in the fifth session, Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei both walked through the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after all. Moreover, although it was only a year earlier, the popularity of the two women's cafes is higher than She is taller than Jiang Mi by a large margin.
Only a year away!
After chatting for a few more words, An Xiaohan sent the two girls into the party, and remembered something again, and explained: "By the way, at the next party, you two should try to stay together as much as possible."
Shen Gui was puzzled: "What?"
"Ms. Krepp reminded me just now," An Xiaohan explained with a weird smile, "You two try to stay together as much as possible, which will form a signal, so that you won't be accosted by those male guests. "
Jiang Mi just nodded lightly, and Shen Gui noticed An Xiaohan's smile, and she understood it, and she also found it interesting: "Sister An, you mean, Jiang Mi and I, er, pretending to be lace?"
"Yes, and no, there should be another meaning, which means that you already have a master."
When An Xiaohan said that, Shen Gui felt a little embarrassed.
However, it seems that it is true.
The two of them do have masters.
Then Shen Gui couldn't help but asked again: "Sister An, did you see Mr. Westeros coming?"
"Not yet, but Mr. Westeros probably won't join in the excitement of the red carpet, and he may have arrived earlier," An Xiaohan said, pushing the two girls towards the door of the party: "Come in, Have fun, and by the way, try to leave with Mister Westeros tonight and never come back."
These words are too straightforward, and both women are a little embarrassed.
I also look forward to it in my heart.
Finally, he greeted An Xiaohan and entered the party together.
It was more than ten minutes before 7 o'clock, and the arsenal, which was arranged as a party hall, was already full of people.
In the past few months, she has more or less gained some knowledge. Shen Gui probably scanned through the crowd, and found many familiar faces that could only be seen in movies or TV in the past. Even though they were confident enough about their appearance, some unexplainable gap in coffee status made the two girls who were already relaxed tense up again, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
After standing still for a moment, they recalled the various training arrangements of the team before the party, and the two girls came back to their senses.
This is also a process.
Next, go to say hello to big names in the industry who may be helpful to their careers, get acquainted, and leave an impression. It would be even better if they can get acquainted and make friends. Thinking of the long list of photos that I had memorized by rote in advance, greeting them one by one was enough for them to consume two hours.
After all, Simon can serve as their backing, but if they want to develop their careers, build contacts and other things, they still have to do it by themselves.
The party started at 7 o'clock and ended at 11 o'clock. It took two hours, and the other two hours included official procedures such as various brand presentations, guest performances, and charity auctions. Such calculations may not be enough time.
So cheer up.
First, he took a glass of red wine from the passing waiter's tray, and then walked to the nearest famous photographer who had memorized the list.
