Chapter 545: The Dark Side Behind the Glamour
Because of Adriana Lima, Andy still has some knowledge of some shady scenes in the Western modeling industry.
Girls always think that when they are models, they can wear the latest and most beautiful fashion, enjoy the envy of everyone on the flyover, make a lot of money, walk in the forefront of fashion, be sought after, and finally find a golden beetle son-in-law to marry, and achieve a happy life.
However, this profession is by no means as fun as outsiders think, in fact, it is a very hard job, and it is also a high-risk profession full of dangers.
Models who enter the industry not only need to be active and friendly in the social circle, otherwise no one wants to work with them, but also keep thinking while ignoring everyone's behavior of treating themselves as a piece of goods, otherwise they will really become soulless people.
And so on have brought a lot of pressure to the models, serious cases lead to depression, addiction to gambling and du, and finally go to a dead end, the younger model, some are even only 13 or 4 years old, still children, no social experience at all, without the guidance and explanation of parents, these models can not adapt to the pressure around them, so they have to turn to all kinds of paralysis, alcoholism, XIDU, gambling, lan sex, this is the life trajectory of countless lower-class models.
Behind the scenery of the modeling industry is the infinite dark side, this industry is a place of semo hunting, full of a group of shark-like men, who want to hit the idea of beautiful girls, and shooting nei clothes advertisements is more like being Striptease.
The lonely girls are like lambs walking into a pack of wolves, and their surroundings are full of danger. Neighbors, publicists, studio workers, managers, all of them can be the beasts of the flood waiting to hunt the lambs. Some will even try to QJ them. Managers, on the other hand, only want to take money from the model, so they all turn a blind eye to the relationship between the model and the client.
Smack-
Andy picked up a file bag from the side and threw it in front of McMullen on the other side, the expression on his face was not as warm as just now, but said coldly: "A few photos in it are the model named Kate Upton, the company that signed before the acquisition, give me a good look at her, don't use those indiscriminate means, the female model in the footbasin magazine, the name is Vlada A. Rosiakova, dig up the footbasin as soon as possible and bring it back to New York, I want them to be clean, you know how?"
"Understood. McMullen was still wondering, but after the words of the young big boss in front of him were finished, he immediately understood what he meant, thinking of this person's past, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
"It's just the boss... This Kate is still young, and there is no difficulty in cultivating it, but this Vlada may need to use some means. ”
Andy looked up at him coldly, and said: "I said, don't use indiscriminate means, my company strictly prohibits the use of free trial dupin to control models, HEI gang control threats, video recordings and the like, I know that many companies do this, I don't lack that money."
In addition to a little other reason, the biggest factor in acquiring this company is for my clothing, jewelry company, and a few fashion magazines, and several other companies use their own people for the convenience of advertising, I have the resources, why should I be cheaper for others, movies, TV series, my models will have a lot of opportunities. ”
McMullen smiled bitterly in his heart, okay, this young master wants to get a modeling agency for fun and convenience, although he feels that the big boss is rich and Ren Xing, but at the same time, he is also relieved, to be honest, he has also done it by means to control and coax girls with simple thoughts, all the managers in IMG have done this before, and there is still a bit of guilt, after all, he is not a person who has lost his conscience, but just to pursue profits.
Without the pressure of income generation from the big boss, it is natural that you don't have to desperately press zha to exploit its models, who doesn't want to be a good person while making money.
"Ahem, it's just the boss, the rules of the fashion circle... There are famous photographers who are used to ... Ahem, what, that's also the rule of the industry, we... "Since McMullen wants to eat with the big boss, the first thing to do is not to hide it, and if there is a problem, he must ask, even if it is difficult to say it.
"Then find a photographer who doesn't have those stinky problems!" Andy's voice raised slightly, Nima, Lao Tzu is doing a modeling agency for his own pleasure, how can he let other people enjoy benefits. He also knows that in some companies in Europe, some models are basically QJ and beaten by photographers or managers every week, and the models in the Brazilian fashion industry are no different from the se~qing industry, those models who enter the industry are forced to perform at a low price of 30 US dollars / hour, and some companies send models to bars and se~qin** performances, if they don't comply, they will be beaten in exchange. This is also the reason why Andy is so precious and loves Adriana Lima, it is a miracle.
"I will inject a sum of money into the company, let you go to expand the reputation of the agency and recruit a professional team of agents, and package a few models who are a little famous, but the focus should be on Kate and Vlada, you move around more in the media, they will help you hype, I will contact the Hearst Group, let their fashion magazines choose more people from our company, and the rest of the opening and closing of the fashion show are up to you, I guess this is not a problem for you, right? If you can't produce a few top supermodels, I won't need to see you again!"
McMullen couldn't help but sit upright, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he was a little surprised to feel the strong sense of oppression and clear superior's aura exuded by the young boss in front of him, and he was a little unreal in a trance.
Hey, it is said that he is selfless and wide in his heart, he has something to ask for, he has yuang, he has ambitions, he wants to return to the fashion circle, and he wants to take revenge on those jerks who ridicule and fall into the well, and he will naturally want to hug the incomparably powerful Jin Datui who fell in front of him like a pie in the sky, and naturally he will also be taken by Andy's momentum.
"Boss, do our company's models really have a chance to make movies and TV series? Give me a clear answer, if I can, I think I can poach a lot of supermodels. McMullen suppressed the apprehension in his heart, then remembered the boss's previous words, and thought of the idea of retaliating against the opponent, and asked without hesitation.
"It's impossible to be the heroine, but maybe, it's okay to make a cameo, isn't "Gossip Girl" being filmed, the cameo role is very simple, there will be many opportunities after that, you will understand in a few days, you can declare to the outside world, the matter of the modeling agency will be handed over to you, don't let me down, you should understand why you chose you, your bad things will be settled as soon as possible, find Al in a while, find a lawyer from the company's legal team, okay, go. ”
"Thank you boss for giving me this opportunity, I won't let you down. McMullen, a middle-aged old man, bowed slightly to Andy with a little emotion, to be honest, without Andy, it would be really difficult for him to make a comeback and return to his previous status in the fashion industry.
Looking at McMullen's back, Andy squinted, touched his chin, and finally shook his head, shook the mouse, and began to look at Facebook, which had been fried and swiped.
To be honest, McMullen is not a good person, Andy chose him as the CEO of Andromeda Model Agency The main thing is that he has rich experience, is familiar with the North American and European fashion circles, and has his own set of methods on how to operate and control the models under him, but he was still pitted by people inside IMG and thrown out as a scapegoat.
McMullen is a smart man, he knows too well the purpose of Andy's young boss, what he is good at is what the new boss values, Kate Upton, a 15-year-old girl, is his proposition exam paper, he needs to be trained well, operate into the company's signature supermodel, and then give it to the big boss for tasting.
In McMullen's view, this Kate Upton's ROU~ Playing a beautiful girl is completely shit luck, to be able to be seen by a big man like Andy, a girl with an explosive body like her, basically has no possibility of becoming the world's top supermodel, all fashion designers will not even look at her, let alone go to the European fashion show, thin, skinny is the king of the fashion industry.
You must know that the camera lens is the same as the TV, it is horizontal, and it will take a picture of people very fat. So every agency will ask the model to be skinny and skinny.
Look at this Kate Upton again, hey, at the age of 15, there is such an eye-catching and proud scale, it is simply too rebellious, this kind of figure has to enter the modeling world, it seems that the people from Sports Illustrated need to be contacted.
Hey, it's really a headache, a girl with this body breaks into the fashion circle, it's like sending food to the wolf's den, the boss wants to be clean, and she wants to make her famous, and at present, she can only take the route of a Xing sense nei clothing model.
McMullen walked out of the Newsweek Building, took a deep breath, straightened his waist, swept away the anger on his face, turned to look up at the Weekly Building, clenched his fists, and walked towards the parking lot.
