Chapter 1162: Audition for Victoria's Secret
Michael Bloomberg has not relented on the Bloomberg transfer.
Don wasn't in a hurry, though.
Now, News Corp. hasn't launched an all-out assault on Dow Jones & Co. yet. After News Corp. bought Dow Jones at an unimaginable premium of 150 percent, the pressure on Bloomberg was great.
The market for enterprise-level financial media has great potential, and it is true that Dow Jones & Company's core business is the Wall Street Journal, but when Murdoch takes over, it will definitely focus on developing businesses for enterprises and institutions.
That's Bloomberg territory.
Competition is inevitable.
With the support of the behemoth of News Corporation, the pressure on Bloomberg must be very high. When Donn goes to meet Michael Bloomberg again, everything will be logical.
Next, it's time for the Victoria's Secret show model auditions.
Compared to Donne's identity, this is just a very inconspicuous little job.
Don was intrigued, though.
He finally bought the brand "Victoria's Secret", and there must always be benefits, right?
There are as many as fifty or sixty models in a Victoria's Secret show, while there are only a dozen or so signed models in Victoria's Secret.
In other words, if you want to successfully complete a Victoria's Secret show, you have to "recruit" about 40 supermodels externally.
Models with good temperament, good image, good steps, and cheerful personality will get a contract and be promoted to a signed Victoria's Secret supermodel. The rest are about to be eliminated, and if you want to participate in the Victoria's Secret show again, you need to continue to participate in this kind of audition. Only contracted models are exempt. And at the end of the show, the first row is always a signed model.
This time, Donn wants to introduce two new models to the entrance - Miranda Kerr and Megan Gale.
The two Australian supermodels have been living in Donn's Villa 4 for more than a year, and they are doing well and have a serious and responsible attitude that those Hollywood stars can't match. Donn was happy with that.
Because of this, Don naturally wanted to give them both a reward.
Megan Gale is a little older, forget it. After the audition, Miranda Kerr will definitely become a signed model of Victoria's Secret.
There are three judges for the audition, one man and two women, and if you pass the two-vote test, you will be shortlisted.
Donn also sat on the judges' bench, though he did not vote.
Next, it's time for the audition.
According to Hollywood, this audition is ...... It's a naked try.
Naked audition is not about not wearing clothes, but only wearing underwear or a swimsuit.
The heroine of the vase role in Hollywood movies has to go through this hurdle, because the selling point of the "vase" is the body, and the interview must be conducted from the inside out.
The difference is that the nude side in Hollywood is usually a group of girls standing in a row, and the casting director is responsible for screening. Victoria's Secret auditions came one by one.
The scene is spectacular!
After six or seven in a row, Don also felt the fundamental difference between audition models and audition actors.
The models who came to audition were all very cheerful, very lively, positive, sunny and healthy. In contrast, the actors who audition are too restrained, and they will blush from time to time.
It's relieved to think about it, the models who are eligible to participate in the audition for the Victoria's Secret show are all well-known models who have made a lot of fame in the circle. They know the circle well and have a lot of experience, and almost all of them know the judges for the interview.
What particularly surprised Donn was how bold these models were!
Almost every model will walk up with a catwalk on her face and scratch her head in front of these judges. There was even a big blond model who kept writhing in front of Donn, offering flying kisses, and almost rushed up to eat him.
It's just a lot of rage, a lot of rage.
Don didn't know how the male judge sitting on the other side felt, anyway, he was a little enthusiastic and had irrepressible restlessness.
Unexpectedly, the male judge was just like the two female judges, laughing nonchalantly, and teasing a little jokingly.
This made Don couldn't help but muttered in his heart: "That buddy must be a comrade!"
However, a little accident happened next.
Donne's "close friend" Meghan Gale was unveiled.
Her body is hot, her appearance is online, and after a healthy and lively step, Don En thought that she would get the ticket steadily.
Unexpectedly, the three judges unanimously gave elimination!
Tang En was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Why was she eliminated?" I think she played very well, no worse than those models who passed the test. ”
The female judge named Mary next to him explained: "She is a standard lingerie model. ”
Don En was puzzled and asked, "Victoria's Secret is an underwear brand, isn't it an underwear model that we are looking for?"
Barbara, another female judge, smiled and said, "It seems that you are not too familiar with the modeling industry." ”
Tang En muttered in his heart, I am only familiar with models, not with models!
Barbara explained: "The current female model circle is mainly in three directions, plane models, underwear models and catwalk models. In terms of level, it is also increasing one by one. Those models at the bottom live in the graphic model circle, which has very low requirements for professional quality, as long as they are beautiful, distinctive, and photogenic. ”
Mary went on to say, "The best of the graphic models can be lingerie models. The so-called underwear models need to have super high looks and hot bodies, so as to show the beauty of women's underwear. As for the catwalk models...... In a sense, the model who walks the catwalk is the real model, and the most professional. ”
Don couldn't help but ask, "But I look at those models at Fashion Week...... I'm sorry, I'm going to be honest. Most of those models are ugly and ugly, and their bodies are not good at all, some are even flat-chested, and they don't even have an A-shirt. ”
The male judge on the other end explained: "This is the professionalism of the catwalk model." The selling point of graphic models and lingerie models is actually the model herself. But the selling point of Fashion Week is the clothes, not the models. It is only necessary to select those models who have a unique style of stepping, have an aura, and can highlight the temperament of the clothes, which is a professional job that requires very rigorous training and personal talent. ”
Tang En understood, and said slowly, "So...... The Victoria's Secret show is a catwalk, and we want to choose a catwalk model with professional quality. At the same time, Victoria's Secret is an underwear brand, and the models we select must also meet the standards of underwear models, beautiful, with big breasts and good figures. ”
Mary slapped the judges, "Yes, that's what it means! So, what is a supermodel? Only a model who has participated in the Victoria's Secret show can be called a supermodel! We have the strictest judging criteria, neither like underwear models lack professionalism, nor like fashion week lack of ornamentation. ”
With that, Don understood.
If you want to participate in the Victoria's Secret show, it is not enough to have an angel's face and a devil's figure, but also to have the professionalism and domineering aura of a catwalk model.
Megan Gale's appearance is enough, not to mention her figure, convex and upturned, hot and invincible.
But she is a standard underwear model, she has not participated in the catwalk many times, and her professionalism is a little worse.
"Ahem, she's my friend, give her a chance. ”
Don had no choice but to use the power of the big boss.
Several judges did not hesitate and immediately changed the selection results.
In this kind of industry where there is no standard answer, there must be a human factor.
Every year in the Victoria's Secret show, there will be several models who trust relationships to be shortlisted.
Donn's request was not surprising.
Next, a black model came up.
The figure is very good, and the body is shiny and shiny, as if it has been smeared with oil.
For so many years in the United States, Donne's aesthetics of black girls have gradually improved, and he can also appreciate the beauty and charm of black women. However, the current look of this black model is really amazing!
I actually shaved an inch!
And it's a very short kind.
Tang En's heart was really cold, and he couldn't appreciate it.
Unexpectedly, the three judges passed collectively, and even discussed signing a contract with her directly to become Victoria's Secret's exclusive model.
Don couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?"
The Mary judge explained: "In Victoria's Secret's catwalk, there must be black people. At present, the two black models signed by Victoria's Secret, Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell, whose contracts have expired, and they are also old, will definitely not renew their contracts, and this year will be their last appearance on the Victoria's Secret show. In this case, Victoria's Secret needs to recruit new black models to replace them. ”
Don was a little speechless.
It's like making a movie.
The catwalk is also politically correct!
There have to be blacks!
Fortunately, the next model is very beautiful and ornamental.
She has an impeccably beautiful face, and her eyes are clear and sparkling. Blonde, beautiful breasts, long legs, is simply a standard supermodel spokesperson.
After the introductory stereotype, it was time to perform the step display, she swayed left and right, and her arms swung rhythmically as if they were drawing circles.
The temperament is dignified and the aura is strong.
Even from the half-hearted point of view of Donne, he has to praise: "Excellent!"
After walking through the steps, he stopped at a position of one meter away from the judges, shook his head, stereotyped and positioned, and was chic.
"Hi Richard, Barbara, Mary...... Wow, you're still so pretty. Donn, wow, it's really you!"
She covered her mouth with her hands and jumped up excitedly.
It's really jumping!
Done's heart tightened.
Girl, you're wearing high heels, don't fall!
Luckily, she looks very experienced.
"Ahem, hello, uh...... Can you briefly introduce yourself?" Don was quiet, showing the demeanor of a big man, not moved by women.
"Don, don't you know me, I'm a big fan of yours!" she had a lost look on her face, not to mention, she had acting skills.
Don was a little speechless, who are you?
How do I know you?
Supermodel beauty, I play ...... Ahem, I've seen too much!
There was no way, Don had to look down at the materials in his hand, only to find out that she was Duchen Kolos, a national treasure model from the Netherlands.
"Don, you'll remember me. Duchen Kolos bit his lip with determination.
Don smiled, "Really?"
"Definitely!"
As she spoke, Du Chen Kolos made a very eye-catching move, she stood in front of Donn's table, stared at him with blazing eyes, and untied her underwear with a backhand......
