Chapter 672: Toll Departure
"I literally drove myself crazy, every minute I was in a panic and had no idea what was going on. ”
With her head in her hands, Karolina Kokuva seemed to be recalling something very painful, "I feel like I've always been healthy, I keep exercising, I don't eat junk food, and I try to take care of myself."
She bit her lip before she added, "As a result, I was the one who had the physical problem." ”
Matthew looked Carolina Kokuva up and down, except for being a little fatter than last year, she really didn't see her out of shape.
Just now, Carolina Kokuva has already roughly explained the reasons why Victoria's Secret and international big names such as Chanel and Dior terminated their contracts with her.
Just after last year's Victoria's Secret show, that is, less than half a month after he spent that million dollars, Carolina Kokuva had problems with her body, even if she only ate ultra-low-calorie meal replacement protein powder, she gained weight like crazy.
Carolina Kokova entered "menopause" early at the age of twenty-four because of a long-term diet and a long-term lack of trace elements in her body, which triggered a series of complications such as thyroid disease and weight expansion, and in just two months, she gained thirty pounds.
Thirty pounds of weight is nothing for a tall, slender, or even severely thin average woman, but for a supermodel, it's pretty fatal enough to ruin a career.
After Karolina Kokova exploded, she was immediately actively treated, but the modeling circle has long been soaked in commerce, and instead of sympathy and love, she got one termination statement after another.
Victoria's Secret, which is the foundation of her life, was the first to terminate her contract with Carolina Kokuva.
As we all know, Victoria's Secret is known as the top of the commercial modeling industry, but its harsh attitude towards models has always been criticized, and it is nicknamed "stepmother" by fans.
Due to weight gain due to illness, the fashion brands she worked with terminated her contract with Carolina Kokova, and her agency suspended her work.
Worst of all, the follow-up doctor told Karolina Kokova that because her hormones are so different from the average person, they affect the woman's menstrual cycle and may lead to infertility......
These words of Karolina Kokuva are also easy to arouse sympathy.
These things are certainly not fake, Carolina Kokuva is a supermodel, and these things that happened to her must be the focus of attention of the fashion media, and you can learn about it by asking casually.
But Matthew lacks empathy for her.
Knowing from the past, he subconsciously thought that Karolina Kokova was using this way to gain sympathy.
"You're fine now. Matthew looked at Carolina Kokuva and said, "It's out of shape." ”
Karolina Kokuva shook her head and said, "I'm lucky, I've overcome the disease and basically regained my shape. ”
Matthew nodded slightly, "I think you're looking healthier now than you did last year." He went on to explain, "You were too skinny last year. ”
How skinny Karolina Kokova is, he has personally experienced it, but the cost of the experience is too expensive.
"I'm still recovering. "Carolina Kokuva certainly remembers what happened to her with Matthew last year, but she wasn't embarrassed at all.
In the extremely corrosive industry of modeling, embarrassment is nothing short of a miracle.
Matthew smiled and said, "I hope to see you on the runway soon." ”
Carolina Kokuva's eyes drifted over Matthew, and she sighed deliberately, "It's not that easy." There seemed to be a hint of bitterness in her smile, "My agent approached Victoria's Secret and other brands that I had worked with before, hoping that they would resume working together, but they all refused. ”
Speaking of this, her face was a little obscure, "The modeling circle is changing too quickly. ”
Matthew didn't speak, but he was not surprised that the competition in the modeling industry was fierce, even more than Hollywood.
"After terminating my contract," Carolina Kokova added, "brands including Victoria's Secret have found new candidates to replace me, and my place has been taken and I want to regain ......"
She couldn't help but shake her head repeatedly.
These commercial brands are after commercial profits, and from the day they were founded, they were not charities.
Carolina Kokuva knows this, and Matthew knows it too.
Many people say that even if you have nothing, you don't have to worry, let go of the glory of the past, and strive from scratch, and you will be re-awkward.
This is not the case.
"So......" Matthew nodded, "you're going to try your luck in Hollywood." ”
Karolina Kokova does not hide and there is no need to hide it, "I have to maintain a certain level of exposure, otherwise I will soon be forgotten." She was quite determined, "I'm going to be able to lose weight back." ”
Compared with the average woman, the current figure does not show the slightest fatness, but it is still not enough for super models.
Matthew didn't say much, but he thought a lot, thinking about Carolina Kokuva's treatment in the crew, it is not difficult to think that Carolina Kokuva's serious decline in status in the fashion circle has affected other aspects.
Otherwise, with the name Karolina Kokuva, there is no need for an audition for a role like Cover Girl.
But the entertainment industry and fashion circle are like this.
Sending charcoal in the snow or something, is that the style of Hollywood?
With that said, Karolina Kokova took a sip of her glass and prepared to get straight to the point.
She invited Matthew to dinner, not to complain, and when the agent didn't kick her at the time, she had a thought.
In the crew of "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra", Matthew is the actor and producer, and has a heavyweight voice in the selection of actors......
"Matthew, I'll be living in Los Angeles for a while. Carolina Kokuva said slowly, "I'm currently staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. ”
Unlike the last time he had no experience asking for money, Matthew was a veteran in this area, and immediately heard the meaning of Karolina Kokova's words.
He was silent, though.
Frankly, the slender and slender Karolina Kokuva is very much in line with his aesthetic, and it would be nice for the two sides to have a few more in-depth exchanges.
The problem is a million dollars! It's still a while! Even with his net worth, he can't hold on......
"KK......" Matthew broke the silence and prepared to take his leave, "Thank you for dinner." ”
He said casually, "I'll invite you to Chinese food another day." ”
Carolina Kokuva was stunned, what is the situation? What kind of person is Matthew, she knew very well last year, could it be that after she got sick and gained weight, her charm value was seriously reduced?
But I'm almost recovered.
Matthew won't continue to waste a million dollars on Carolina Kokuva, even if Carolina Kokuva can't make a discount because of her fame and status change.
He moved back in his chair and was about to stand up.
When Carolina Kokuva saw that Matthew was leaving, her golden eyebrows instantly twisted together, and she hurriedly said, "Matthew, I really need this role!" She was afraid that Matthew wouldn't understand, so she added, "I need a redhead very much." ”
Although she needs to audition, she still has some confidence in a role like Cover Girl.
But the redhead Scarlett is the second female lead in the film, and if she relies solely on auditions, there is little hope.
After all, she is not a professional actress, and she is no longer a popular model.
Matthew stopped and looked at Karolina Kokuva, but didn't say anything, and didn't know what to say.
Is it possible that he should pay to drive and help Karolina Kokuva with the role?
He has always followed the rules of the trade, even if he missed the premiere of Rachel McAdams because of the schedule, he later looked for an opportunity to make up for it.
But the premise of all this is that if you want to give back, you have to pay.
If you want to pay a fee to start and get a role, looking at the whole of Hollywood, there is no such cheap thing.
Or did he happily make up a million dollars in tickets last year, and Karolina Kokuva treated him like a good old man?
Carolina Kokuva saw that Matthew was still silent, her head turned quickly, invited Matthew to dinner, and said those words, mainly because she had known about high-quality customers before, and compared to most people in Hollywood, Matthew has an excellent reputation in this regard and has always kept her word.
Those actresses who have paid for him have been rewarded accordingly.
Matthew's silence gradually made Carolina Kokuva realize one thing, she didn't offer a high enough stack.
Although the number of paid departures is not too high and it is an extremely high-end route, Karolina Kokuva doesn't care about trading her body for more.
The problem is, Matthew doesn't seem to be very happy with her......
Suddenly, Karolina Kokuva realized what the problem was, last year's car!
"Ahem...... Ahem......" she cleared her throat and said, "Matthew, we had a wonderful night together last year. ”
Matthew glanced at her and made a million dollars in one night, which was indeed a fantastic night for Carolina Kokuva.
This kind of thing, once is enough, and I definitely don't want to do it a second time.
He's not a rich second generation like David Ellison, who can just throw a seven-figure dollar bill and smash Heidi Klum down.
For a handsome guy who is accustomed to appearance conditions and star halo pickle girls, spending money to drive is simply the Waterloo of life.
Then again, he'd rather spend seven figures to make a little girl like Emma Watson happy than waste it on a supermodel.
Karolina Kokuva quickly organized her vocabulary and said with a smile, "I deliberately played a joke with you last year, and the million dollars actually stayed in my account all the time, and I always wanted to find a chance to return it to you, and it just so happened that I met ...... today."
