Hollywood Hunter

It's a hot time of year in Manhattan, but it's also a hot time of year in the Big Apple, as supermodels gather to prepare for the fifth annual Victoria's Secret show.

As the last edition of the first phase of the Super Bowl of Fashion, the show has attracted almost global media attention, so in addition to the tall and long legs easily encountered in Manhattan, the number of paparazzi in the Big Apple has also increased significantly.

On the other hand, the official announcement of the show's schedule was made a few days ago.

This year's date will be November 9, while the TV broadcast is scheduled for November 18 in order to leave more time for later.

Brooklyn.

Vimy's studio over here has been converted into a temporary show venue for rehearsals.

As the show date gets closer and closer, the rehearsal schedule is getting tighter and tighter, and almost every day there will be big goblins of the Victoria Secret army and some guests hanging out here, naturally attracting hordes of paparazzi reporters stationed here.

At noon, the Victoria's Secret Angels who had finished their morning's work came out of the studio one after another to dine at a nearby restaurant, and the surrounding paparazzi also surrounded them.

"Linda, your good friend Naomi is still not able to attend the Vimy show this time, do you have anything to say about this ...... Hey, Linda, Linda ......"

......

"Quince, Brave Games is coming out soon, are you going to focus on your career as an actor after this big show?"

......

"Roberta, I've heard that Stalker has been stalking you lately and has attracted the police, is this true ...... Well, regarding the Terminator 3 actress, there's a rumor that Disney has dropped you, what do you think about that?"

......

"How do you feel about this as the last Vimy show, Cindy ...... Also, over in Hollywood, you don't seem to have made any new attempts after Fair Game, is it because Fair Game failed so miserably?"

......

"Stephanie, Guns N' Roses is also going to be a guest at this Victoria's Secret show, have you and Icoso met up in the meantime?"

......

Studio Entrance.

Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Quincey Gough, Stephanie Seymour, Paulina Pliskova, Roberta Chirco and a host of others went out, drawing the paparazzi to frantically press the shutter, accompanied by all sorts of mild or pointed or prickly questions.

It's actually a kind of win-win for both sides of the blundering tacit agreement.

It's not as easy for models to get exposure as it is for singers and actors. When it comes to big events that can be posted on media platforms, people with a little bit of brains will try their best to get it, so even though Victoria's Secret provided working meals for the models who came to rehearse, the goblins still took the initiative to go out.

It was in this atmosphere that Jane Xin and Tao Yuelei followed the group of goblins out of the studio.

For the bustling scene outside the main gate, the two girls have experienced it before and are not panicking. When the paparazzi raise their cameras to them, they follow the training they received in advance and cooperate accordingly, but compared to the other goblins, the two Chinese girls attract much less attention.

After all, by being on the runway, they have surpassed almost all of their Chinese counterparts in the West.

What's more, they had something else on their minds.

Naturally, it was a certain man.

Although, after meeting each other, except for the first time, these months they had only met him at last month's Anna Sue runway show, not even spoken a few words, and the two women also found that even just around this circle, he was a bit too many women, but, what does it matter.

Simon Westeros's lover was something that many women in the world begged for.

Unencumbered by the paparazzi, the two women easily got into a car parked at the curb.

Although they deliberately went out just to show their faces, the two women didn't want to be disturbed if they really wanted to dine, so they walked a little farther to an Italian restaurant a few blocks away that had been reserved in advance.

Unexpectedly, they were led to their seats by the waiter, and immediately saw the other two models who were also participating in the rehearsal today, Roberta Chirco and the other Victoria's Secret Angel Angel Angelis Thurbert.

Seeing the two Janine, Roberta and Angelise, who had also just sat down, were slightly surprised, but quickly got up to greet them.

A few brief pleasantries were exchanged and Roberta invited first, and eventually everyone joined together at a table.

Immediately it was a bit inexplicably awkward.

You know, Roberta and Angeline are Ford's models, Ford and Elite, is almost peer enemy, the eighties were once in trouble, these years is better, mainly Ford has gone into decline, Elite is more and more as the day.

However, the two girls are not afraid to take Roberta and Angelis lightly, the two models are a line level, especially Roberta, relying on the "007 Ghost Party" performance, in recent months can be said to be hot.

And Jane Xin two, not to mention its own non-mainstream Chinese identity, the curry is also just debut rookie, if not take into account certain factors, in front of the two already considered to be a success in front of the big seniors have nothing to take.

After the four girls had ordered their meals and continued chatting for a while, Jane Xin and Tao Yuelei also quickly realized that the reason why the two girls were so warm with them was obviously still because of a certain man.

In this circle, certain things were actually quite easy to distinguish, it just depended on whether or not they had a Wee Female Guard by their side. So much so, that occasionally, there would even be a situation where some little actor models who wanted to go crazy would deliberately hire some girls to impersonate the Vikings' female guards.

Although most of the time, these female guards wouldn't be serious enough to wear uniforms and look similar to ordinary assistants, after all, even Simon wouldn't be stupid enough to be deliberately high-profile, he just liked the fact that the female guards wore uniforms when they appeared next to him, and it had become a common practice. But, at the end of the day, it was actually quite easy to distinguish between the real Vikings' female guards.

What's more, two Oriental rookies who had just arrived in the United States to fight for their lives, if they hadn't met a nobleman, it was probably unlikely that they would ever walk up to the Victoria's Secret runway where every position was taken.

Even though they understood each other's intentions, the two girls still acted appropriately, and after chatting about how they felt about the theme of the morning's rehearsal, Jianxin said, "Yuelei and I saw your performance in Spooky Party, Roberta. I heard you're going to be in Terminator 3, is this thing set in stone?"

Hearing Jane Xin bring this up again like the paparazzi had done before, Roberta, even though she was hiding it well, still inevitably showed some loss and shook her head, "Disney is still considering it."

Jane Xin two women did not know much about Hollywood, but from Roberta's demeanor, they understood something in general.

By the way, Roberta Chirco had also been tossed around by this matter in recent months.

Arnold Schwarzenegger got the license for Terminator Part 3 from Daenerys and Fox, quickly started working with Disney as a green-light project with parent company Vivendi personally stepping in, and preparations for Terminator 3 have been ongoing, with the script now complete and the confirmation that the biggest villain of the third installment will be a female Terminator.

And then there's the problem.

While Roberta's performance in James Bond's Ghost Party was remarkable, she was, after all, only in this one film, and her appearances totaled less than 10 minutes.

As a super bombshell with a budget destined to break $100 million, both the Disney management and Vivendi thought that she was not popular enough to be the female Terminator, and that, unlike the small supporting role in SPECTRE 007, the female Terminator this time would definitely be the first female lead and would be the opposite of Schwarzenegger.

Thus, after some initial contact, the Disney side got cold feet.

What was most frustrating and even angry was that Disney hadn't exactly given a rejection, only saying that it would consider it. Then, just hanging on to her, she also continued to release information to spark media debate. After all, although it is believed that she is not enough of a curry, but 007 followed by the fifth Vimy, her popularity in the fashion world combined with the rumors of "Terminator" actress, is still quite attractive to the audience.

It was also enough to keep Terminator 3 in the media.

Roberta has certainly actively fought for it.

During Paris Fashion Week a while back, Roberta was also introduced to meet Vivendi's head Jean-Marie Mercier at a party, and the powerful middle-aged man expressed quite a bit of 'interest' in her, not only furtively at the party, but also inviting her to return to his residence with him for a chat.

However, when Roberta tries to talk to the person about Terminator 3, she always gets sidetracked.

Roberta is no rookie, and there are too many circles of guys who want to take something for nothing without giving a commitment, and the other side doesn't let up at all, even if she's willing to make some kind of exchange for the opportunity to stick it up, and men always need to be hung.

In the following days of Paris Fashion Week, she also got a phone call from the other assistant and another dinner, and still they only talked about other things, so Roberta understood completely.

Now, barring a miracle, she was probably unlikely to get this opportunity.

Every time she thought about it, she was torn to the point of wanting to freak out.

You know, after the stunning supporting role in "007's Ghost Party", if she could get the lead role in "Terminator 3" again, two super-heavy bombshells would be enough for her to gain a foothold in Hollywood, and with the fashion industry being so competitive and the model's career life span being so short as we all know, plus the fact that even the next Victoria Mi show, which was the easiest for models to get on board, was going to be shut down, and missing out on "Terminator 3", she was simply uncertain about her future.

As she talked to the two women, a thought that had been on Roberta's mind for some time came up again.

When she was offered the role of the female assassin in James Bond's Ghost Party, it was said that Westeros himself appointed her, she thought that the man would be interested in him, and was prepared that with the dazzling level of the man, becoming Simon Westeros's lover would be nothing to be ashamed of.

It was just that the movie had opened, the movie had been released, the movie had gone off the rails, and throughout, he hadn't shown any particular interest in her.

Roberta Chirco also tried the curve strategy of trying to break into one of the smaller coterie of people close to him in the circle, the small group of gargoyles that were Naja Orman, Quincey Gough, and Fernanda Lima, and then get more access to Simon Westeros.

Unfortunately, that coterie was highly xenophobic, and even more obviously guarded against outsiders like her with special intentions.

It was understandable.

After all, there was only one of that man, and it wasn't enough for a group of goblins to be divided up, so how could outsiders be allowed to enter easily.

Now, the two fledgling oriental girls in front of her gave Roberta hope once again, and with deliberate intimacy, a lunch was over and they already appeared to be talking about everything.

When they had paid their bill and headed out together, Roberta Chirco said casually to Jane Xin, "Jane, and Tao, how about shopping together tomorrow, Saturday?"

It was always inevitable to instinctively wish for more friends when you were wandering in another country.

Even though she was vaguely aware of some of Roberta's possible thoughts, Jane Xin hesitated a little and said, "Yes, but we'll probably not be free until the afternoon, and we'll be taking a photo shoot in the morning."

Roberta was suddenly a little envious again.

To be able to schedule work for Saturday showed how much Elite valued these two girls, or, more accurately, how much the man valued them.

Thinking so, but his expression didn't move, and he wasn't curious to ask more about what kind of photo shoot it was, he was just happy to say, "Well, that's in the afternoon, and besides, we can go to a play on Broadway together in the evening, and the stage version of that "This Man From Earth" that Simon himself wrote early last year has just recently opened, and I've heard that the word of mouth is also very good. "

Jane Xin originally heard the drama and wanted to refuse, although the two women have been tutoring English, but think that such a high-end drama, probably still can not understand. When she heard Robert add that it was written by Simon himself, "This Man From Earth", she also became interested and nodded her head to agree.

Said to have left the restaurant.

Roberta and Angelis drove themselves, and some envy at the sight of the two women in Jane Shin's car.

Although Roberta and Angelis had reached the 'Supermodel' level on the model ranking list in the fashion section of the Ygritte portal, the number of supermodels in the circle was now inevitably large, and correspondingly, except for the top group, the income of the rest of the group had inevitably shrunk.

In short, they can't afford to hire a full-time driver, and they can only use Ford's assistant when they need one.

In fact, the two women's income, spend tens of thousands of dollars a year to hire a personal assistant, at least now more than enough, but the problem is that the modeling profession, the comings and goings are too fast, this year may still be able to make a million, next year may have been quickly out of fashion, but long time can not afford to consume.

In the end, there is no money!

On the other side, when the car was farther away, Tao Yuelei looked in the rearview mirror at the two Roberta women who had just gotten into the car and said to Jane Xin, "Xin Xin, don't you feel that they are approaching us on purpose?"

Jane Shin pulled out her makeup mirror from her Hermes bag to simply touch up her makeup as she said, "Of course I know."

"Then you're still ......"

"We need friends, too," Janine traced her lip gloss, paused, and continued, "As I'm sure you've noticed in the meantime, it's just that Quicksilver Gough and the others, they're actually Simon's women, and they don't have any intention of accepting us, and in that case, why don't we start our own little circle. "

Among the three oriental girls, 22-year-old Tao Yuelei is the oldest, but the most reserved, with a kind of softness and gracefulness of a woman from the south of the Yangtze River.

The first time I saw her was when I was a young girl, and she was very happy to see me, but I was also very happy to see her. "

Tao Yue Lei didn't say anything for a while.

Jane Xin seemed to understand what she was thinking, and said, "If you want to break off your relationship with Simon, it's actually quite simple, Ms. Davis talked to us in the beginning, just send the female guards around to leave. But, Yue Lei, have you ever thought about it, leaving Simon and having no one to rely on, can we still be in this circle? Well, maybe it's possible to keep hanging around, but it's not like you haven't seen what the state of the world is like in the past half year, and there's no one around us who's a vegetarian. When the time comes, if you want to get a job, if you want to get an endorsement, if you want a nice photo shoot, you need to be taken advantage of by company CEOs, designers and even photographers, and even sleep with them. Instead of that, it's better to just be Simon's lover, it's so simple, I don't think you wouldn't understand. "

Tao Yuelei continued to be silent for a moment and finally asked, "Xinxin, have you thought about when it will end?"

"Of course, you know that the company's plans for us are still focused on China, like that photo shoot tomorrow, which is going to be published in some Chinese media to warm us up. In addition to Jill's side belonging to our share of the investment, I also plan to try to create my own fashion brand while modeling. You know I study fashion design, although, only vocational high school, but, there are very powerful professional school here in New York, before I definitely can not get into, but now, there is Simon ah, the target I am optimistic about, Parsons School of Art, I heard that many top designers are from this school. In short, a few years of further study, open up my own career, and in the future, even if I leave him, I'll be able to continue living a very good life."

Tao Yuelei was instead a little confused as she listened to Jane Xin finish her sentence.

From childhood to the present, at least up to the age of 22, she had been going very smoothly, and thus didn't have too clear goals in life.

Jane Xin finished her makeup and saw that Tao Yuelei was still a bit dazed, smiling, "If you don't know what to do, then just be my partner, after all, the three of us, you're the one with the highest college education, although bar, civil engineering, well, why would a girl like you want to study civil engineering in the first place."

"My dad helped me choose it, he's the bridge engineer."

"Tsk ...... Forget it, it's better than me and Momo anyway, we'll start a business together."

Tao Yuelei was still hesitant, mainly because she was worried that she couldn't help Jane Xin and would instead become a burden.

Jane Xin, however, quickly came next to her, affectionately hugged her waist and smiled, "There's no need to hesitate, it's settled, we're good sisters ah, at first, uh, swore a blood oath."
