Chapter 66: Trading and Dieting
Although Carolina's personal efforts and talent are indispensable during this period, whether it is the skills of the catwalk or the demeanor of the magazine shooting, etc., it is like an actor's acting class, there are many efforts behind it, which is not enough for outsiders.
But in this process, the DNA company's resource investment is definitely a lot, or it should be said that it is unimaginable to outsiders.
And Carolina, who is only 18 years old, has even been shortlisted for the VH1/Vogue Model of the Year for the second time this year, and sees that the carefully cultivated stars of tomorrow are about to reach the harvest period.
Carson really didn't think DNA would be able to accede to Sid's request.
"Alright, Sid, don't mess with Carson. Carolina smiled and patted Sid's arm.
Sid couldn't help but smile and shrug his shoulders, "Well, I didn't want to test his loyalty for you." ”
Loyalty?
What's the situation?
Carson looked at the smiling young men and women with some confusion, and finally Carolina explained: "Carson, I've actually transferred to IMG, but I really want you to continue to be my agent, so Sid asked you for DNA." ”
"Well, DNA released?" Carson asked subconsciously, still a little confused.
"Of course. Carolina nodded, "I don't know what kind of magic Sid has used, but just now the CEO of DNA has already agreed to my transfer on the phone." ”
"It's not magic. Sid shrugged, "It's just a deal with Naomi Campbell and three other High Fashion models and DNA." ”
Carson's eyelids immediately jumped, and even Carolina was startled, Naomi Campbell was the only top supermodel among the "five supermodels" who did not retire and stayed in the fashion circle to work, which can be said to be more senior than Gisele Bundchen in IMG.
It's so easy to throw this top supermodel out as a bargaining chip, and then take three High Fashion models, even Carson thinks it's a bit exaggerated, let alone the CEO of DNA?
But for Sid, the golden age of traditional supermodels has long been over, and although the east wind of social networks has not really blown, the flames of Google have begun to unfold, and the existence of the older generation can really withdraw from the stage.
Exchanging a chicken-like Naomi Campbell for her infinitely talented Carolina is definitely a lucrative deal.
Of course, CEOs who believe in DNA feel the same way.
"Oh, by the way, even after you join IMG modeling, you will no longer be Lena's only agent, and in the future, Lena will have a dedicated team of agents to serve her. ”
"I've checked your profile before, and you're good at negotiating catwalks and endorsements in the fashion industry, so you'll be in charge of this in the future. Other things such as public relations, business activities, and life conditioning are mostly handled by special agents. ”
Sid neatly skimmed off a lot of Carson's responsibilities and authority in his speech and demeanor, but in the face of the strong and domineering Sid, Carson could only bow his head, although this thigh is not so easy to hold, but after all, it is still a thigh.
"And then, there's you. Sid turned his head and nodded Carolina's nose dotingly, "Don't think that just a salad is a meal all day, listen to me, you want to eat meat." ”
"Is that okay?" asked Carolina, hesitantly.
"Of course. Sid nodded solemnly.
Seeing Sid so unscrupulously "bewitching" Carolina, Carson couldn't help but say, "That, Mr. Leon, High Fashion models can't be too fat......"
"High Fashion models are human too!" Sid glanced at him murderously, and immediately shut Carson's mouth in fright.
Although later, various models such as Victoria's Secret models would always reiterate in front of the media, "We don't diet", "We all rely on exercise to maintain our figure".
But in fact, it is simply an open secret in the fashion industry that models go on a diet to keep in shape, and this is a compulsory course in the "body flat" High Fashion models.
Although the International Model Association has even issued regulations requiring food backstage in High Fashion shows such as New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week, models are not allowed to go on stage if they do not eat food.
But in the end, it's just the difference between going to the toilet after eating.
Later, in the Victoria's Secret show, there were rumors that the catwalk model even did not stick to the water within 24 hours in order to prevent edema.
The models are on such a "crazy" diet just to ensure that they can wear the clothes and show clothes designed by High Fashion designers.
For the model circle at the bottom of the food chain of the fashion industry, the designer will always be the person who holds their lifeblood, and the overkill models will certainly not take any risks, and even if they don't, the agency will not sit idly by.
The agency in the modeling circle is more like a record company in terms of power, except for a very small number of top models who still have some bargaining capital, the vast majority of models, even supernovas like Carolina, who became popular as soon as they debuted, have also been constrained by DNA to the point that they can't help themselves.
Since the age of 15 or 6, Carolina has only eaten green vegetables and fruits every day, not only can not eat junk food, but also has to maintain fitness.
As long as there is a trace of fat, the model will not be able to wear the designer's clothes, and there will be no income if you are unemployed.
In this way, under excessive dieting all the way, Carolina now only drinks beetroot juice every day, and eats lemon juice and lettuce salad to survive.
The birthday cake that shows her 18th birthday is just an ornament to see, and none of the models present have taken a bite.
On the day of the amusement park, Sid was taken aback when he saw Carolina take out the beetroot juice prepared in advance at lunchtime.
Then someone bought a Mexican meat wrap, and then hugged this stupid girl and soaked it for a long time before she could barely eat it.
But because she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, Carolina was sick to her stomach on the spot after eating a few bites, and Sid was distressed when she saw it.
Then under his questioning, Carolina admitted that because of her long-term lack of comprehensive nutrition, she had irregular menstruation and hormonal imbalance since she was 17 years old.
In other words, since she was 17 years old in the cardamom years, she has actually had an abnormal aunt, and she will have to do it for a long time.
"Yes, is it that serious?" asked Carolina, hesitantly.
"Of course, silly!" Sid flicked a finger on her forehead.
Then Sid remembered that in the original "history", Carolina was even more because of long-term dieting and long-term lack of trace elements, which caused thyroid disease, and she gained weight for a while.
It even caused her to have early menopause when she was in her 20s, and she may not even be able to get pregnant for the rest of her life.
