Chapter 669: See the Prosperity
The deafening surround sound also resounded throughout the backstage of the Arsenal, and the punk rock music was exhilarating and brought a strong sense of tension to all the Victoria's Secret Angels in the waiting room.
Diane Kruger, who was the opening Victoria's Secret Angel, even felt a slight numbness in her hands and feet, pursed her pink thin lips lightly, quickly drew a cross in front of her, and then inhaled deeply to relax herself as much as possible.
βEveryone-Go!β
At the command of the executive director in the headset, the staff waiting next to Diane Kruger gently pushed the girl towards the sidelines, and quickly turned their attention to the next Victoria's Secret Angel.
After days of rigorous rehearsals, Diane Kruger, who was slightly dizzy, walked almost instinctively to the stage, with a charming smile on her delicate makeup face that she didn't know how many times she had secretly practiced. Under the warm atmosphere, with her appearance, there was almost no need for any signal, and the audience erupted in applause and cheers.
After a brief pause at the exit, Diane Kruger walked to the glittering silver catwalk, which had been trained by Eric the Devil and was full of strong personal style.
Among the five spokespersons announced by the Victoria's Secret brand, Diane Kruger is the least famous, or not at all before that. Therefore, since the announcement of the list, the industry has maintained a very strong interest in this girl who has just turned eighteen years old and has a petite face and a slightly green face.
Everyone is almost certain that this sudden rising girl has some kind of relationship with Eric, but many people present at this time still did not expect Eric to let this unknown girl go away, and most people think that the supermodel at the beginning of the Victoria's Secret show will definitely only be produced between the three top supermodels of Christy Durrington, Linda Ivan Golinsta and Cindy Crawford.
When Diane Kruger appeared on stage for the first time, many people almost had a thought in their hearts, this favor is really a bit too much!
Some of the invited media people were almost already thinking about how to subtly satirize the incident. Diane Kruger's personal style is very obvious step step that amazes many people's hearts, this is a confident and domineering, steady gait but slightly bewitching step style, almost unforgettable, this is simply incredible. And only people in the fashion industry know how rare it is to have a model with a unique personal step style, like Naomi Campbell. If it weren't for the kind of queenly steps that made too many designers want to stop, with her kind of bad character, she would have been banned by the entire fashion industry a long time ago.
Many of the fashion tycoons who were invited to the show even secretly wondered that a girl with such a good step would have already made a name for herself if she had appeared on the runway before, and there was no reason why Eric Williams had not been discovered until now. Although confused, many people have begun to secretly make up their minds to invite Diane Kruger to cooperate.
While some people noticed Diane Kruger's stunning steps, many people also paid attention to Diane Kruger's angel suit, with a British military red jacket, black wings, white gloves, and a simple style. made the girl's whole person look sexy and playful, especially the somewhat playful military salute made when she walked to the end of the catwalk, which made most of the people in the venue cheer again.
Of course, some people admire, some cheer, and some people will express disdain, and Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue who was sitting in the front row of the show, heard a woman behind her comment a little harshly: "So this is the angel costume that Eric Williams has been hyping for months, does he really think that the one with wings is an angel?" β
Anna Wintour remembered that the female voice was supposed to come from the editor-in-chief of Metropolis magazine. The woman's frivolous assessment only smiled coldly.
In fact, the fundamental purpose of any fashion show is only one, and that is to advertise it.
A lot of high street fashion shows that make most people look cloudy. The group it is aimed at is not ordinary people at all, but those who know how to fashion media, shopping mall buyers and other groups, and even most of the superstars and celebrities who are invited to come to the show are just pretending, in fact, they don't understand it at all. Those exaggerated fashion shows are just a brand's design concept for the next season.
Anna Wintour, who is used to the kind of high street fashion show, actually felt a moment of discomfort in her heart when she first saw Diane Kruger's angel outfit, and this angel outfit style seemed too down-to-earth.
But. Anna Wintour quickly reacted that the real audience for this Victoria's Secret show was ordinary TV viewers. If Eric Williams dares to design a series of exaggerated looks for Victoria's Secret Angels that are completely unrealistic, like those traditional fashion shows, it will definitely cause a lot of scolding from ordinary viewers when it is broadcast in the future. At present, this kind of angel costume design that perfectly shows the Victoria's Secret angel's surname and figure is very pleasing to the eye, is the most people-friendly style.
When most of the attention was firmly attracted by a set of gorgeous angel outfits and the Victoria's Secret angels with a bewitching figure. Jane Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone magazine, who sat next to Anna Wintour, was firmly locked in by a few young rockers on the stage.
The arrogant punk rock style of My-Songs-Know-What-You-Did-In-The-Dark rekindled Jane Wenner's long-dormant love for music, and he seemed to think that many years ago, it was out of his love of the world-famous rock band The Beatles that he and a group of friends founded the now-famous Rolling Stone magazine in the attic of a dilapidated printing house. More than 20 years later, Rolling Stone magazine has grown from a pamphlet-like fan magazine to a comprehensive media magazine covering film, television and music, and Jane Wenner has transformed from a young man to a wealthy publisher.
When Cindy Crawford walked backstage and the music finally fell, Jane Wenner found that she had unconsciously stood up, and after discovering this, Jane Wenner looked around in embarrassment. However, he soon found that many people around him involuntarily took the initiative to get up and applauded enthusiastically.
After the first theme, the arch at the exit dimmed, some figures began to nervously arrange various props, and soft music sounded in the room.
But. No matter which aspect of the show was focused, everyone in the room had a strong anticipation for the next theme.
In anticipation, the subsequent successive launch of the two themes of 'Secretly Enchanting' and 'Pink Girl' once again brought a rich visual and auditory feast to the audience, and most of the audience felt that this was the real enjoyment compared to participating in those high street fashion shows just to brush up on style.
At the same time, most people have also noticed the three new songs in a row with completely different styles in the three themes, and after the first punk rock, the momentum of the 'secretly enchanting' background music "FU" even caused the young women present to scream. While some people still feel that the song seems too rebellious, the release of the third song "Stronger" immediately makes up for the 'regret', the two songs are simply echoed, the former depicts a girl with a strong personality against her unfaithful boyfriend, and the latter is almost the same girl telling the fact that the breakup not only did not hit her, but made her stronger.
After two themes in a row, Anna Wintour couldn't help but say to Jane Wenner next to her: "If it weren't for Eric Williams's too many lace news, maybe he was really a feminist." β
Jane Wenner just smiled. Although the next two songs are still amazing, Jane Wenner is still looking forward to the rock band that has just come back on stage.
Thereupon. In anticipation, the rock band just now took the stage again.
However, when the majestic intro music of "The-Phoenix" sounded, some people in the room who were more familiar with the symphony couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.
Because they all heard that this rock accompaniment used the rhythm of many well-known Soviet composers Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7, perhaps not many people have heard of Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony in C major, but this symphony has another name. "Leningrad Symphony", this majestic symphony was produced during the tragic defense of Leningrad in World War II, and it is completely a war symphony.
Music knows no borders, and now that the once-mighty Soviet Union is gone, no one cares about Eric's use of the Leningrad Symphony for the score. The audience became more enthusiastic in the shocking music.
After the theme ended, Jane Wenner, who sat down with the crowd, couldn't help but sigh: "Eric Williams is a genius. β
Anna Wintour didn't mind the gaffe in Jane Wenner's words, and smiled: "Have you already started to think of a feature story for this big show?" β
Jane Wenner immediately nodded, and not only that, but he even planned to write the feature himself, but when the idea came to him, Jane Wenner was immediately stunned.
Anna Wintour asked, "Jane, what's wrong?" β
Jane Wenner shook her head and said, "Anna, we don't seem to know anything about these singers and the names of the new songs. β
Anna Wintursk paused for a moment, realized something, and said, "I see. β
"What?" Jane Wenner asked impatiently.
Anna Wintour said: "The purpose of this Victoria's Secret show is still to promote the Victoria's Secret brand, although these songs are all written by Eric Williams himself, he certainly does not want the media to pay too much attention to these new songs. β
Jane Wenner also showed a look of regret: "So, we don't know anything about the names of these bands, singers and songs, so it's not easy to discuss them, this trick is really amazing, no wonder I haven't heard any introduction to these singers and music from the host all the time." β
Anna Wintour nodded: "Eric Williams' marketing of the Victoria's Secret brand this time is a classic, and I even think that this case will be included in many business school textbooks, so he will definitely not let go of the marketing point of music, maybe he is just waiting for the right time." β
The two chatted in a low voice, and the lights in the venue changed again, the original strong lights were extinguished, and the golden lights were lit up, and the atmosphere in the venue became a little illusory, luxurious and misty, reminiscent of the lavish jazz parties of the twenties in the United States.
The soothing prelude to "Young-and-Beautiful" is accompanied by a sighing female voice, and Cindy Crawford, who already has a few classic beauty vibes, appears on the runway in the iconic pearl accessories, yarmulke hat and crystal gown of the golden age, creating a dreamlike dream of the past, making people feel like they have stepped back in time.
Some of the older audience members didn't really like the slightly loud music just now, but when this soothing baroque music slowly sounded, many of the older audience couldn't help but have memories and nostalgia for the past. People are middle-aged, they have become famous, and they have seen all the prosperity, but the girl who walked through the streets and alleys hand in hand back then has been nowhere to be seen, although this regret is not worrying, but it is always difficult to let go, so unconsciously, tears fell.
After a song, facing the empty stage, most of the audience, who didn't care too much about the singer, had a desire to meet the singer just now. It's just that they don't know what the project team is thinking about, and the male rock band takes the stage every time, but the singers of several female songs don't appear, and they just use the pure accompaniment mode.
In the central control room of the big show, Eric looked at the picture in the monitor in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. For the doubts of many people in the venue, of course, Eric is not completely in personal preference, but in view of some experience in his previous life, in many Victoria's Secret annual shows, female guests on stage will only have two effects, either female guests steal the limelight from the angels and are complained about as a special concert, or the Victoria's Secret angels set off the guests who are usually short like ugly ducklings. Either way, the effect was very bad, so Eric simply didn't let the female singer go on stage.
Looking at the people who were nervously preparing for the last theme in the monitor, Eric picked up the only walkie-talkie on the console that could connect everyone's headsets, and said a few words of encouragement enthusiastically, after putting down the walkie-talkie, he looked at Xiao Nizi and the twins who were guarding the central control room with him, and said with a smile: "The last theme, don't you go out to have a look?" β
Xiao Nizi, who was flipping through Eric's thick workbook, raised her chin and said with a smile, "No, I prefer to see you." β
Eric shrugged helplessly, didn't say anything more, and as the executive director's voice came over the intercom again, he turned all his attention to the monitor again, and as long as nothing went wrong with the subject, the show would come to a perfect end. Five of the six themes have passed, and each of the five spokespersons of Victoria's Secret has gone through an opening, and the opening of the last 'Snow Dancing Elf' theme is still handed over to Diane Kruger.
Noticing the girl in the monitor once again nervously drawing a cross in front of him, Eric smiled at the corners of his mouth, he was very pleased with Diane Kruger's performance, and believed that everyone in the room would no longer question his preference for this girl at this time.
The last song, "I-Know-You-Were-Trouble," sounded, and Diane Kruger, like a fairy in the snow, walked towards the stage.
Eric's gaze shifted to Diane Kruger's figure and to the camera monitors in the venue.
In the fixed-point panoramic shot, everything went very smoothly.
However, as Diane Kruger walked through the quarter-length runway, Eric suddenly felt Diane Kruger's figure flicker, and a silver heel detached from her left foot.
