Chapter 538: Brave Man
In the middle of December, the streets of Los Angeles are already in the mood for Christmas, and the golden period of Christmas business has kicked off, and merchants have put on various Christmas decorations, just like many commercial companies in North America, Victoria's Secret has also put its most important annual advertising campaign on the eve of Christmas.
As soon as it was dark, Matthew drove to the Kodak Theatre, where there were already two long queues in front of the theater, and a huge Christmas tree was interspersed in between, and the neon lights of "Victoria's Secret" were particularly conspicuous.
Although it doesn't have the style of a top fashion brand, Victoria's Secret has the pomp and circumstance of a top brand, and even the most ordinary ticket can cost thousands of dollars, and those who buy such tickets can only queue up to enter.
VIP tickets like Matthew in the front row can go directly to the VIP channel.
After getting out of the car, reporters immediately surrounded him to take pictures, Matthew had no interest in answering any questions, and entered the Kodak Theater directly through the VIP channel under the opening of the bodyguard.
The hall of the theater has long been transformed into a T-shaped stage, and Matthew looked around, found David Ellison, who had come early, and walked over unhurriedly.
"Hi Matthew. "David Ellison saw him too.
Matthew sat next to David Ellison and first looked at the catwalk not far away, which was at just the right angle and could be said to be in a prime position.
He then asked David Ellison, "You're here a long time ago?"
David Ellison replied, "Forty minutes ago. He said with regret, "It's a pity that you're late, otherwise you can go backstage to have a look." โ
"You're backstage?" Matthew delayed for a moment, "Did you see a lot of sleek models?"
David Ellison stretched out his hands, "Do you think it's possible?"
Matthew smiled, "Victoria's Secret backstage is still open to the audience?"
"Hmm. David Ellison nodded, "It's only ten minutes, and all I saw was the models doing makeup, nothing substantive." โ
The two of them came over today, and the purpose was clear, so Matthew lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have a goal?"
David Ellison glanced at the empty catwalk and said directly, "There is roughly one, and we will see it later when the big show comes." He deliberately said, "Matthew, don't rob me!"
In addition to being richer, he felt that he was no more attractive to these women who were rolling around in Vanity Fair than Matthew.
Matthew deliberately asked, "It can't be Heidi Krum, right?"
David Ellison quickly shook his head, "She's too old." "A little model named Rosie Huntington Wheatley is not yet twenty years old. โ
Matthew thought for a moment, without any impression, and said, "I'm not going to rob you." โ
For example, he and David Ellison didn't hide their goal of coming to the Victoria's Secret show at all, which has nothing to do with fashion and art, they came here for the female models who participated in the Victoria's Secret show.
Everyone knows that the Victoria's Secret show is a well-planned marketing, but the men never get tired of watching it.
Tickets like the one that Matthew and David Ellison got their hands on, cost more than $30,000, sit in the first three rows, go backstage before the show, and go to all the parties where the Victoria's Secret Angels will appear after the show.
What is the reason why such a high ticket price attracts men?
Some people may say that it is for the sake of art, to feel the fashion atmosphere, but Matthew has never been shy about saying that he is for supermodels.
From Adriana Lima, Matthew experienced that supermodels have far better figures, better physical strength, and more open private lives than most Hollywood actresses.
Victoria's Secret show is a carnival of desire release and human nature, and Victoria's Secret's brand culture does not shy away from this, and its marketing essence is to create consumers' moving, exciting and unforgettable feelings in the name of "lust".
"Long legs, peach buttocks, and water snake waist" have become the annotations of the personal image of Victoria's Secret Angels, and the Victoria's Secret show is to set up a stage for the most beautiful flesh in the world, so that the hidden appeal is no longer embarrassing, and everyone can look at it generously.
"Do you have a goal?" asked David Ellison at this point.
Matthew shook his head, "Not yet." He was also used to this straightforward way of speaking, "Originally, I thought Gisele Bonchen was good, but I saw her in Milan, Italy. โ
David Ellison's eyes widened, "You've got it." โ
Matthew shrugged slightly, "I will see the target for a while, and you don't want to rob me." โ
People like David Ellison, as long as they report their identities, it is estimated that the angels of Victoria's Secret will go crazy collectively.
Compared with actors, models can be said to be purely eating youth, and the ultimate goal of most top models is actually to find a rich man to marry, David Ellison, a rich second generation is definitely the first choice, followed by Hollywood stars or sports stars with very high incomes.
Therefore, at parties in many fashion circles, it is common to see female models actively attacking and looking for suitable prey.
Of course, if you want to marry a female model home, you must have a big heart, and perhaps people like Matthew will never understand, after all, he is not a pure Western man.
With more and more people entering, the Kodak Theater was almost full, and Matthew looked around and found quite a few familiar faces, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gouda Statham, Mark Wahlberg, Ben Affleck, and many more.
As he withdrew his gaze from the distance, he saw a bright bald head walking up the passage leading to his row.
At the same time, the bald head also looked at him, and the eyes of the two met in the air, Matthew was very calm, but the bald head turned up the corners of his mouth, showing a somewhat disdainful smile.
Then, he strode over.
Matthew raised an eyebrow, he hadn't seen him for several years, and Vin Diesel was still the kind of crazy cool guy who was the first in the universe.
There were still a lot of empty seats in this row, but Vin Diesel didn't look at them, went straight to the empty seat on Matthew's left-hand side, and sat down in style.
Ma Xian didn't even look at Vin Diesel, when he was a young actor, he dared to go head-to-head with this bald head, let alone now.
Vin Diesel sat here because of Matthew, and after sitting down, he said directly in an urn, "Matthew Horner!"
"Something?" Matthew deliberately glanced at him with the rest of his eyes.
Vin Diesel was very bossy, "Don't think that if you are secretly calculating Spike Lee, no one will know. โ
I just talked to Spielberg two days ago, and Matthew really didn't bother to talk to him, after all, he and David Ellison were already working on the Fast and Furious series.
But Vin Diesel, the number one person in the universe, did not have this kind of awareness, and turned his head to stare at Matthew, "I can tell at a glance whether you are a good person or a bad person." โ
Matthew couldn't help but laugh and said directly, "Of course I'm a bad person, so you'd better stay away from me." He deliberately swept Vin Diesel's face with disdain, "A bad guy like me can really beat people." โ
David Ellison heard the words of the two, first looked at Vin Diesel, and then at Matthew, in order to win the copyright of the "Fast and Furious" series, he watched the trilogy that had been released, and immediately recognized Vin Diesel, and then remembered that he was also among the people who criticized Matthew some time ago.
He deliberately asked Matthew, "Where did the idiot come from?"
Vin Diesel turned his head to look at David Ellison, and when he saw a thin, unfamiliar face, he scolded in an angry voice, "Boy, shut your stinky mouth!"
Anyway, David Ellison is helping himself, and Matthew immediately answered, "Bald, it's better to be polite." โ
How could David Ellison be afraid of such a person and say, "You're a brave man!"
Vin Diesel thought that David Ellison had softened, and he couldn't help but raise his head and release the momentum of the crazy cool drag to the extreme.
"Someone who looks like you. Probably after spending a long time in Hollywood, David Ellison has also learned a lot of sarcastic words, "It's really brave to be alive." โ
"Poofโ"
Hearing this, Matthew couldn't help but laugh.
"You ......"
Van Diesel stood up and was about to raise a hand to give the thin, filthy fellow a little color, when he felt a large, rough and hard hand like a pincer grab his wrist.
"This is a civilized occasion. Matthew is the kind of person who can only set fire to himself, and does not allow his opponent to light the lamp, grabbing Vin Diesel's hand and exerting force, "You'd better be civil." โ
David Ellison had seen Matthew's skills, so he had nothing to fear.
"You ......"
Before Vin Diesel could say anything, he got stuck in his throat because of a sharp pain in his wrist.
But in just a second or two, his face turned red, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he only felt that his wrist bone was broken.
Someone around noticed this, Matthew let go of his hand and said calmly, "If you want to do it, you can." After the catwalk is over, we find a place to go one-on-one. โ
Vin Diesel looked at his wrist, his whole arm shaking unconsciously.
"If you don't have the guts, stay away from here!" Matthew said coldly.
Vin Diesel endured the pain, his cold gaze swept over David Ellison and Matthew's faces successively, and the momentum of the crazy and cool drag and bombing seemed to be more sufficient, and he snorted coldly at Matthew's side, and then ...... Quickly turn around and walk away.
David Ellison looked at Vin Diesel's back, "This man is bullish, as if no one looks down on him." โ
Matthew's heart suddenly moved, and he said deliberately, "I think he came here on purpose, I've heard people say that Vin Diesel intends to let Universal Pictures restart the "Fast and Furious" series. He added, "The source is not necessarily accurate, it's just gossip." โ
"Just look at the way he looks like he's sorry for the earth. David Ellison seems to have a prejudice against Vin Diesel, "I'm going to get a kick in that too." โ
