Cindy Crawford, who didn't know in advance that Simon would be involved in today's rehearsal, rushed to the Lexington Avenue Arsenal in time, spent half an hour walking through the theme that was about to be the opening scene, and finally came to the hall stands, where Simon was already surrounded by a pair of girls.

At a glance, Fernanda Lima on the left, Quss Gauff on the right, and on the steps behind him, there was a girl sitting sideways next to the man's shoulders, and even someone's feet were not spared, not only on both sides, but also a girl squeezed one leg into a guy's feet in a kneeling position, with her arm on the man's lap, and her slightly raised face showed a coquettish attitude.

It's standard to kneel on both legs together.

Cindy whispered, but the smile on her face was impeccable, and without a trace, she squeezed away a girl on the periphery, ignored the white eyes of the other party, and stepped forward to say hello: "Hi, Simon, good morning." ”

When I got closer, I saw that the girl in front of Simon was spreading a small hand in front of the man, and I didn't know what it was doing.

Simon is showing palmistry to a group of big goblins around him.

In my previous life, I learned a little about a costume TV series project, and I didn't even count my fur, but at this time, I was just talking nonsense and having fun with the girls, and of course no one would take it seriously.

Seeing Cindy greet him, Simon responded with a smile, "Good morning." ”

Cindy glanced at the small hand of a certain goblin still spread out in front of the man, and roughly understood something, the West actually has a similar palmistry theory, but she still pretended to be curious and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Simon scratched the palm of the girl in front of him and said, "Obviously, look at palmistry." ”

was meant to be close to a man, and when she heard this answer, Cindy immediately had a eager expression: "Can you help me take a look?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward a little more.

Simon shook his head with a smile: "This is not good, divination can only be done three times a day, and if there are more, it will not be accurate." ”

As soon as the words fell, a goblin behind Simon immediately dismantled the stage: "Simon, it's Heidi, you just watched all six." ”

Simon tilted his head slightly against the head of the goblin poking behind him, listened to the laughter in his ears, and explained without being humble at all: "There are only three divinations, and the other three are appreciation, nay, Heidi's hands are very beautiful." ”

"Mine too, Simon, you see, I've made hand models. ”

"Well, that's good. ”

"Thank you. ”

"And mine, mine, Simon, how's it going?"

"80 points. ”

"Hmm, is it good to score 90 points, can you take a look?"

"Okay, 10 more points. “

"Huh. ”

Suddenly ignored like this, Cindy looked at the frolic in front of her, and inexplicably had some strange feelings, is the man in front of her really a $700 billion super-rich? However, she quickly reacted that those billionaires in the inherent impression are generally old men, and it is impossible to play and joke with a group of young girls like a certain family.

The current Simon Westeros, even if he is already standing high in the clouds, is actually only 27 years old, and many 27-year-old young people may not have left school yet.

Moreover, recalling the past contacts, a certain guy is definitely not the kind of person who deliberately puts up a shelf because of his status, and his skillful handling skills allow him to mingle with anyone.

Thinking so, Cindy thought that she might not have a chance to talk to someone alone today, but a staff member of the Victoria's Secret show team came to remind him, and Simon took the initiative to start driving people away.

The work still cannot be delayed.

When the girls dispersed, Cindy stepped forward in time to grab the spot where Quss Gauff was, and found that someone had changed on the other side, which happened to be the one who was looking at palmistry when she came.

Simon noticed Cindy's expression and helped introduce the girl on the other side, "This is Heidi, and she is also a customer of your Elite, don't you know her?"

Cindy smiled and reached over, "Hello." ”

The girl on the other side shook hands with Cindy and introduced herself: "My name is Heidi Krum, I'm from Germany," and then turned to Simon: "I've been working in Europe for the past few years since my debut, and I'm still a little shrimp, Cindy definitely doesn't know me." ”

Simon felt the body of the girl wearing only a Victoria's Secret pink nightgown coming over, and said with a smile: "Not in the future, maybe even more powerful than Cindy." ”

Heidi Krum.

The former Victoria's Secret veteran is also nicknamed 'Sea Ma' by many fans.

However, because of Simon's big butterfly, history has obviously changed, and Heidi Krum in his memory should have been the champion of the Elite model contest in the early nineties, this time, if it weren't for Grace completing the takeover of Elite and sending a list of models with good potential to Simon for him to choose, the 23-year-old Heidi Klum may only be an ordinary model under the Elite French branch who is a little good but difficult to get ahead.

There is really no shortage of beautiful skins in this world.

Entering the modeling circle, whether you can become famous or not, appearance and hard work only account for two points, but luck accounts for eight points.

In fact, Heidi Krum is not too in line with Simon's aesthetics, and the reason why she chose the other party is mainly because she remembered the fashion reality show "Flyover" hosted by, which is obviously also a very suitable project for the USA TV network, and the former "Flyover" lasted for nearly twenty seasons, which shows its popularity.

However, digging out Heidi Klum first, Simon has no plans to make "The Pride of the Bridge" in the short term.

Whether it's ABC Public Television, which has just been merged into Daenerys Entertainment, or cable networks such as USA, they all have very popular TV shows, and too many high-quality projects will be distracted in the short term.

Just like USA, after the hit of "Sex and the City" launched this year, counting "Desperate Housewives" and the Wife series of reality shows, at least for the next three years, there is no need to worry about the popularity of the USA television network, and Simon's plan is to launch another main show in three years. In addition, there is another "American Supermodel Contest" tied with "The Pride of the Bridge", and Simon has not forgotten it.

Inside the front hall of the Arsenal.

Heidi Krum heard Simon say that she might be better than Cindy Crawford in the future, her eyes suddenly lit up a little, and she posted a sticker to the man next to her, saying, "Simon, are you free at noon, I hope I have the honor to invite you to lunch." ”

Simon shook his head: "There is an appointment at noon." ”

"What about at night?"

"It's a shame that the evening too. ”

Heidi Krum didn't give up either: "So when do you have time?"

Simon laughed, "Let's talk about it." ”

When Heidi Krum heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Cindy on the other side, and leaned into the man's ear slightly: "Simon, there's nothing to see here, maybe, how about we go backstage and find a place to talk?"

Simon didn't answer, just patted the girl on the waist: "Don't stay by my side, go get busy, I don't like girls who are always lazy." ”

The man said this, and Heidi Krum had to get up and walk away.

Simon's words were actually aimed at Cindy, but the girl on the other side was still sitting still, seeing the man looking over, Cindy explained: "My theme has been arranged," said and looked at Simon with some resentment: "You only gave me a small opening, it's too stingy." ”

The opening and closing catwalks of fashion shows often represent the status of a model, whether it is a Victoria's Secret show or an HF show.

Cindy stepped down as Victoria's Secret spokesperson this year, and her status naturally began to decline. However, being able to get an opening with a middle theme is not something that any other model can compare.

Simon ignored the girl's complaints, and just casually asked, "What have you been up to lately?"

This question seemed to poke Cindy's sadness again, and she came over without a trace, and her tone was full of pity: "I'm almost unemployed." ”

Cindy: That's not a lie.

The Warner Bros. $50 million "Fair Game" starring the girl has been released on October 13, even if Warner's mentality towards this project can be seen from the schedule, however, as the heroine, in order to cooperate with the promotion of "Fair Game", Cindy has been running around, and for this reason, she completely missed this year's fall fashion week.

As a result, after the release of "Fair Game", the box office performance of the first week of the 1949 opening screen was only a pitiful $6.39 million, not only that, according to the box office data of the second week just released this morning, the box office performance of the second week of the film's release was also close to halving, and the cumulative box office in the fortnight was only a pitiful $9.72 million.

Such a sluggish second-week performance caused most theaters to remove the canvas of "Fair Game" today, and it is expected that the follow-up will only barely recoup one or two million dollars at the box office.

Lost in blood.

Cindy now regrets more and more that she didn't follow Simon's advice.

Relying on the widespread popularity accumulated over the years, Cindy originally wanted to move from the fashion industry to Hollywood, and it was not difficult to get resources, and her previous cameo appearance in the "Batman" series arranged by Simon also won a lot of recognition, all of which were ruined by the movie "Fair Game".

Even, even if "Fair Game" can have a box office of two or three million or three million dollars, it will not hit her too hard.

It's a pity that the failure of this film is really a bit tragic.

The production cost of $50 million, and only recovering the box office of more than $10 million, is basically equivalent to the entire budget being wasted.

Hollywood has always been a very superstitious circle.

It just so happens that the main selling point of "Fair Game" is Cindy again, so if you climb too high at the beginning, the worse you fall after you fail. Although many people see that the failure of "Fair Game" is not on Cindy, since it is labeled as a box office poison, it is difficult for Hollywood to invite her to participate in the film.

Missed her job at Fall Fashion Week, participated in the first Hollywood blockbuster box office fiasco, and stepped down from the title of Victoria's Secret Angel spokesperson, if she didn't be able to show her face at the fourth Victoria's Secret show next month, in this extremely competitive circle, Cindy may be completely silent.

However, the Victoria's Secret show can only barely help maintain its popularity.

Cindy knew that if she wanted to turn over, the most effective way was to get the support of a man.

Simon didn't react much to Cindy's pitiful expression and said, "According to your age, it's just right to retire now, and you still have time to do other things." ”

Something else?

Cindy immediately remembered a certain waist essence who announced her retirement after Versace's big show some time ago, if she can also be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, of course there is no problem with retirement.

The point is, no.

Although Cindy has been able to earn millions of dollars every year in the past few years and has accumulated a good net worth now, after careful calculation, if she can't find a man with a lot of money to marry, the money in her hand can't support the long-term and prosperous life she wants.

Still have to work.

Thinking so, Cindy no longer hesitated, and took the initiative to hug the arm of the man next to her and shook it slightly: "Simon, can you help me?"

Simon gestured to the girls who began to rehearse and move on the catwalk, and said: "In the next few years, if you are still willing, you can continue, I can only help you, in fact, it is useless for you to beg me, the career of modeling is destined to be difficult to last long." ”

Cindy still hugged Simon, and since the man had relented, of course he couldn't give up, and asked, "Then, you give me some advice." ”

Simon felt the soft body beside him, so he could only think about it and said, "Actually, you have already found your way." ”

"yes," Cindy remembered the box office fiasco of "Fair Game," "but it's a pity it failed." ”

Simon said: "Then try in other directions, actually, do you know what is the secret of public figures to maintain their popularity for a long time?"

Cindy looked at Simon curiously.

The big goblin is still very skillful.

Simon pretended to be overwhelmed and deliberately dodged, saying: "The key is to have your own masterpiece, a masterpiece that can be remembered for a long time, whether it is a movie, a TV, or anything else." ”

Speaking of which, the reason why the Victoria's Secret show makes models in the fashion circle flock to this is the key.

In my memory, even if the Victoria's Secret show has been canceled, many models who have appeared on the Victoria's Secret runway still have the title of Victoria's Secret Angel XXX in various press releases, the reason is that the popularity of the Victoria's Secret show can be used as the 'masterpiece' of many models, as long as it is associated with this show, it is easier for the public to remember.

However, the Victoria's Secret show is a group fashion show after all, except for a few supermodels who are highly praised by the brand, most of them are not prominent in this fashion feast.

Therefore, if you want to maintain your popularity, you still have to work in other directions as much as possible.

Cindy heard Simon say this, thought about it, and suddenly remembered Jerry Hall, who has also been popular in recent years: "Simon, you mean, like Hall's "Fashion Workshop"?"

Although it is a TV program of a relatively professional TV station like Fashion TV, because of the increasing popularity of "Fashion Workshop", this has also become Jerry Hall's masterpiece, which has completely freed her from the title of Mick Jagger's wife, and her fame has really become independent.

Simon nodded, "yes, I remember you hosted MTV's once-fashion show, maybe you can try that." ”

Cindy followed Simon's train of thought, and became more and more enlightened.

Indeed, because of age, this road on the catwalk must not last long, and Hollywood has also been screwed by itself, so trying to develop into the TV industry like Jerry Hall is probably the best direction for yourself.

Well.

It just so happens that someone next to me has just acquired the Metropolis ABC Group, which should be regarded as an instant hit.
