Chapter 160: East and West
And even a lucky few like Gisele Bonson and Carmen Keith, who can escape various "natural traps", can easily fall into another "job panic" trap.
It's like the famous saying of the five supermodels in the 90s, "If we don't have $10,000, we don't get up to work", but on the other hand, is it that as long as there is $10,000, then you must get up and work?
While $10,000 a day is a big number for the average person, it's not a big number for the fashion industry and many wealthy people.
So in order not to lose their jobs, or to make their empty lives full, many models will fall into another cycle of non-stop work, and the high-intensity work naturally brings great pressure, even Carter Moss and Naomi Campbell have been caught in the sucking scandal.
Even Ji Niangniang, who had a good image later, also smoked excessively and suffered from insomnia in order to relieve stress.
The original Carolina was already considered the lucky one among millions of people, and Park became popular in the HF world as soon as she debuted, and even became the "next supermodel" in the mouth of the female devil Anna Wintour, which is almost a lucky value that makes others envious and jealous.
Although he was later ordered to lose weight by the agency, to be honest, this kind of "little thing" is nothing compared to the various suicides and the modeling circles around him.
On the contrary, after coming into contact with Sid, Carolina had a short period of discomfort, completely violating the "routine" of the abnormal practice, breaking the "routine" and "trade rules" of all the modeling circles she was accustomed to.
But after getting used to it, Carolina realized that Sid had just brought her back to the environment of the normal world, a full and purposeful life, and all the things of the normal world made her feel fresh and happy.
Because of this, she became more curious about Sid, attraction is always more effective than coercion, and what a woman wants after all is a wonderful attraction and an incredible spark of love.
In the process, everything added in only made her more intoxicated with all this, even though she was previously said to be the lucky one in the HF modeling industry, Carolina knew that her greatest luck was to meet Sid.
not only saved her from the absurd modeling world, but also showed her a wider world, and with the in-depth contact after joining IMG, Carolina really saw the bizarre and bizarre of the rich people on the Upper East Side led by the fashion circle.
With IMG's integration into the Fire Lion Group and its partnership with Endeavour Elite, the East Coast-based, world-selling sports and fashion agency has finally gone one step further, from sports and fashion business operations and television production to Hollywood.
And the Fire Lion and Endeavour Elite also took the opportunity to expand from the West Coast to the East Coast, if the acquisition of Manhattan in the past Marvel was just a small test for Sid, then now IMG is expanding its power on the East Coast, that is, the Fire Lion has officially embarked on the journey of dual coast domination.
Of course, this is not entirely true, because the original headquarters of Fire Lion Records is in New York, and the Viking Records acquired before has a lot of resources and influence in England and the East Coast, but this time, after connecting to IMG's sports and fashion, the music section has also been integrated.
In particular, the singer brokerage section of Fire Lion Records is connected to IMG, making it a formal business under IMG, although singer brokerage itself is not the most profitable and important business, and the record industry's failure rate of cultivating singers is as high as nine layers, which also makes the record company actually work part-time as a regular agent.
But on the other hand, because music, fashion, sports and traditional Hollywood entertainment are all horizontally connected in the hands of Sid, it also gives the Fire Lion Group an advantage that other large media groups do not have - horizontal advantages.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of horizontal advantage will not be of great significance, because as the so-called interlaced is like a mountain, different industries have their different industry essences, and the principles and methods they follow are very different, even if it is a relatively closer industry such as film and television, it is impossible to apply the same idea to operate.
Just like Sid was able to create a "youth song and dance film project" with young audiences as a group, and a "fantasy blockbuster project" based on the time node of the new millennium.
But it's hard for you to use the same idea to run the TV field, not only because the TV field in the new century has entered the reality TV stage. Even in the field of American dramas, slow-paced American dramas such as "Seinfeld" and "Friends" in the past have become out of date because of the changing times.
If it weren't for Sid's "foresight" to set "24 Hours", "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost" as the benchmark for Fire Lion's TV dramas, Fire Lion's TV business would not have gone so smoothly.
There are so many differences between the relatively close film and television fields, so the fields such as music, fashion, and sports are of course very different, and it is impossible to consider this issue with simple ideas.
Fortunately, both Sid and Shirley Sandberg are particularly aware of this matter, and they are not carried away by simple business expansion, on the contrary, they have integrated the business of IMG and Fire Lion, and instead pruned and integrated it as necessary.
The basic idea is to collaborate across borders in valuable areas while maintaining their own efficiency and leanness, and Carolina and Tyra Banks' "America's Top Model Contest" is the first of the key projects.
Starting with this, in the future, Carolina-led "Flyover" and related fashion programs can enter the routine of IMG production and Fire Lion TV, and the bigger ambition hidden behind it is Sid's involvement in music channels and programs.
Whether it is for personal reasons or commercial purposes, the MTV music station exclusively owned by Viacom is too domineering, and Sid has not let Fire Lion TV produce music programs independently, just so as not to "delay" the TV's investment in reality shows and American dramas.
After all, these two pieces are the golden partners of the European and American TV industries in the next ten years, and music and fashion programs are still handed over to more professional people to give full play to their greatest comparative advantages.
Although IMG has always been a bully in sports programs before, and has not really set foot in the field of fashion and music, its deep accumulation over the years should not be underestimated, and now it has opened up the broadcast channel of Fire Lion TV.
IMG soon set up a dedicated department for fashion programming and music programming within the company with the help of its sports production branch, and Sid and Charles even opened up hosting for this year's AMA American Music Awards for IMG to be involved and lay the groundwork for future plans.
