548 [Queen of Distress]
Inside an apartment building in an old New York neighborhood.
21-year-old Madonna got dressed and carried her bag to go out, and just after walking a few steps, she ran back to the dressing mirror in her bedroom to check her makeup, took out a lipstick from her bag and wiped it on her lips.
After walking back to the door, Madonna did not open the door directly, but opened the antique doorway, leaned on the door and looked outside for a few seconds. Seeing that there was no one outside, Madonna opened the door with confidence and stepped out of the seductive legs of a pair of high heels and black stockings.
"Miss Sikkony, I think it's time for you to pay your rent!" When Madonna's other foot stepped out of the door, a man's voice suddenly came from the corner of the hallway.
Madonna's face instantly became embarrassed, and she turned to look at the bald middle-aged man with a big belly in slippers a few meters away, and said with a reluctant smile: "Good morning, Mr. John." β
The middle-aged man named John walked up to Madonna and said, "Miss Sicony, if you could give me the three months of rent you owe, I think I'd be in a better mood this morning." β
Looking at John's expressionless poker face, Madonna suddenly showed a charming smile: "What a coincidence, Mr. John, I just got a job as a model for a large fashion magazine. After this job is completed, I can earn half a year's rent. β
John said, "I don't want you to pay me half a year's rent, I just need you to give me three months' rent that you owe me." β
"Mr. John, I know you've always been a generous and kind person, just give me another week, a week!" Madonna said and put her hand on the middle-aged man's shoulder, with a teasing and ambiguous smile on her face.
The middle-aged man named John gradually relaxed the stiff expression on his face as Madonna's hand rubbed against his shoulder, and he took the little hand covered with red nail polish and stroked it back and forth on the back of his hand, hinting: "No matter how kind a person is, he needs money to live." Madonna, you need to give me a reason to grace your time. β
Madonna felt her hand caught in a dirty dog's paw, and held back her nausea and said, "Of course, Mr. John, I think it's appropriate to have a good discussion in the room in the evening." But now I'm going to work, and if I'm late, I'll owe you another three months' rent. β
"Okay, we'll see you in the evening." John took Madonna's hand and kissed her fat lips on the back of her white hand.
"Then I'll go first, Mr. John." Madonna withdrew her hand and quickly turned to go downstairs.
"See you in the evening!" John laughed, and as Madonna passed him down the stairs, John's hand took the opportunity to touch her buttocks, and then intoxicated sniffed the lingering scent on his own hand.
Madonna ran downstairs, wiping the saliva on the back of her hand as she ran, and the more she wiped it, the more nauseous she felt and wanted to vomit.
βTaxiοΌβ Madonna, who was too poor to pay the rent, reached out and called a taxi.
This is one of the reasons why Madonna is poor, not that she disdains to crowd the subway or bus, but that she is too sleepy and will be late if she doesn't take a taxi.
Madonna was born into an ordinary American family of seven siblings, her mother died when she was 5 years old, and her father raised seven children.
According to my father's wishes, I wanted Madonna to become a lawyer or accountant after graduating from university. But Madonna loved to dance, and after two years of college, she dropped out of school and went to New York to dance ballet. At first, she could still get a weekly salary of $35, barely enough for her to live on her own, and gradually, Madonna began to compare herself with other girls in the ballet company, buying cosmetics and clothes, where was $35 a week?
So, Madonna began to look for a side hustle, but unfortunately she didn't understand anything, and she refused to engage in the "seqin" industry, so she could only rely on her good body as a cheap model to make a living.
As a result, due to the delay in the training and performance of the ballet company due to her work as a model, Madonna lost her job dancing ballet and fell into the economic wiki completely.
Today, Madonna is going to a fashion magazine called "Barmosa", and she will shoot a group of fashion shoots for the magazine. Madonna takes this job very seriously, and although Barmosa is a magazine with a small circulation, it is a rare opportunity for her to enter the fashion industry. Before that, Madonna's modeling work was not in the mainstream at all.
"Hurry up, drive faster." Madonna kept banging on the driver's back.
The driver, a young white American, perhaps wanted to show himself in front of a beautiful woman, whistled and laughed, "Beauty, sit tight!" β
Madonna's body fell backwards, and the taxi was already shooting out like an arrow, and in the dense traffic, the fish swooped left and right.
After paying, Madonna rushed to the office building where the "Bamosa" magazine was located.
She was already two minutes late, and Madonna regretted watching TV too late last night, and if she lost her job, she would die!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ms. Sarah, I'm late!" Madonna rushed to the assistant editor-in-chief in charge of the photo shoot and kept apologizing.
Sarah obviously didn't take Madonna's tardiness seriously, and said helplessly, "Just find a place and sit down and rest for a while." β
"I can get to work right away without having to rest." Madonna hurriedly said.
Sarah smiled coldly, "Everyone can get into the working state, but our photographer hasn't arrived yet." β
Madonna then found that all the various staff in the studio were idle, some were chatting, some were flipping through magazines, all waiting for the legendary photographer.
For a moment, Madonna, who always overslept and overslept, only felt that the photographer was too powerful and domineering, and could make so many people wait.
"Let's put on makeup first!" Sarah said a word and left, she held back the fire in her stomach, she just received a call that the photographer who had been hired for a lot of money had not yet arrived in New York.
Coming to the editor-in-chief's office, Sarah said to the editor-in-chief: "Ms. Crawford, the photographer is still on the plane, and most of the shots will not be completed this morning. β
"Don't be angry, Sarah." Editor-in-chief Crawford beckoned to his young assistant, "Come and see this, Audrey." Hepburn's latest photo album. β
"Audrey. Hepburn? Is she coming back? Sarah said and walked over, but she didn't think so.
Audrey. Hepburn was definitely the darling of the fashion industry back then, and he made a comeback to shoot "Ghost Love" a few years ago, but it shocked all fashion workers in the United States. But, Audrey. Hepburn will soon be 52 years old, just an old woman, and she won't sell the residual fame of the year when she publishes a photo album.
Crawford shook his head and said, "I don't know either. This time her photo album came out too suddenly, without any publicity, and I only found out about it through a friend. β
"I guess it's a fashion brand to endorse." Sarah said she thought Audrey. Hepburn must not have enough money to spend this time, so he came out to earn a few pension money.
"I don't know. I've called several old friends, but unfortunately none of them know Audrey. What Hepburn wanted to do. However, I heard that the cover character of the next issue of Harper's Bazaar is Audrey. Hepburn. Crawford flipped through the photo album and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful, as a woman, I'm really jealous of her." β
Sarah walked to Crawford's desk, and as soon as her eyes came into contact with the photo album, her eyes immediately straightened!
That...... That's really Audrey. Hepburn himself? What kind of old woman is this, who looks younger than 25-year-old Sarah herself.
"Shocked, huh?" Crawford smiled and asked his assistant, "Now the whole circle is crazy!" Because someone confirmed, Audrey. Hepburn's set of photos was not made up with makeup. β
Sarah exclaimed, "How is that possible? β
Crawford said, "I've heard of it, Audrey. Hepburn will have a birthday party at his new estate next month, inviting many friends in the entertainment industry. β
Sarah reacted suddenly and asked, "Ms. Crawford, what do you mean......"
"We've got to get tickets!" "You put down what you're doing, go to Los Angeles right away, see if there's any chance, and I'll contact a friend myself." Remember, you only have less than a month. β
"Okay, I'll go get ready right away!" Sarah said.
"I'll give you this photo book, I got two copies." Ms. Crawford laughed.
"Thank you." Sarah put away the photo album, went out to explain her work, and immediately went home to pack her luggage.
After painting the makeup, Madonna was still in the studio, waiting for the arrival of the photographer with the staff. Two hours later, everyone was almost asleep, and a middle-aged man finally came to the studio with a smile.
Looking at the smile on the photographer's face, everyone in the studio had the urge to punch the past. However, they are masters invited by the magazine at a high price, and they can't afford to offend, so they can only hold the fire in their hearts.
Madonna, dressed in designer clothes, stayed in this studio for eight hours, constantly following the photographer's instructions, posing in all kinds of strange poses, during which she only ate a boxed lunch.
In the afternoon, everyone left the show. Madonna took off her makeup and reluctantly took off the high-end costume on her body and returned it to the staff.
When Madonna left, she thought that her bag was still in the studio, and hurriedly ran back.
Fortunately, the bag is still there, and it can contain all her belongings. Madonna picked up her bag, but saw a black bag next to her, which Madonna recognized as the photographer who was late.
Madonna didn't think about stealing, but she was curious about what the big-name photographers had in their bags. Seeing that there was no one in the studio, he unzipped the bag.
The first thing I found was a photo book, and Madonna looked at the cover and thought it was Audrey. Hepburn's photo album when he was young, flipped through it casually, and a piece of paper fell out of it.
It was an invitation to the photographer to attend Audrey. Hepburnson said that the invitation to the party.
Madonna subconsciously clipped the invitation back into the photo album, and then stuffed it into her underwear together, and fled the scene quickly.
More than ten minutes later, the photographer hurried back and forth, opened his bag, was stunned for a moment, and then roared: "Fake! β
Madonna, who jumped out of the taxi, was shocked, found a roadside chair and sat down, first took out the invitation and looked at it again and again, although the name of the invitee was written on it, but she thought that she could still get away with it when the time came.
Madonna thinks it's a good opportunity to infiltrate Audrey. Hepburn's birthday banquet was not to chase stars, but to think that there must be many big names in the fashion and entertainment industry that day, and he had to try his luck if he could catch one......
Having made up her mind, Madonna carefully put away the invitation, and then put away her mind and looked through the photo book boringly. It was still early, and she didn't dare to go back at all, because there was a lecherous landlord waiting for her where she lived.
Madonna is no longer a virgin, but she still can't do it for a few rents and sleeping with an ugly and horny landlord.
Originally, Madonna thought it was Audrey. Hepburn's photo when he was young, but after turning a few pages, he found that he was wrong. These photos were actually taken not long ago.
There are not only photos in the photo album, but also some short texts.
These texts introduce the beauty of the Maldives and also introduce Audrey. The reason for Hepburn's photoshoot.
Probably mean, Audrey. Hepburn last year was met by good friend Zachary. At the invitation of the king, he went to the Maldives for a vacation, and then quickly fell in love with the beautiful Maldives and lived there for a few months. As in a good mood, Audrey. Hepburn is in good spirits every day, and the more he lives, the younger he gets.
And, Audrey. Hepburn also specially recommended the movie "Love in Paradise", saying that it was a good movie and that he liked to watch it very, very much.
Madonna looked at Audrey. Hepburn's old goblin-like photo, the envy and jealousy in my heart, I can't wait for the beauty above to be myself.
Seeing that it was not early, Madonna ran to a fast food restaurant to make do with it, and then went to nowhere to go. She had to wait until after 12 o'clock to go back, because by then the landlord must have been captured by his wife.
It wasn't until she walked to a movie theater that Madonna went in and bought a ticket for "Love in Paradise." Although I have heard about this movie for a long time, I have not come in to watch it because I am busy making money.
However, Madonna soon regretted it, because the entire screening room was in pairs except for her, and in the promotion of Dragon Tiger Films, it was a romance film.
Finding a seat to sit down, Madonna began to throw snacks into her mouth, and soon someone sat down in the empty seat next to her, and a group of Chinese people came in, apparently in a team to watch the movie together.
One of the women, surnamed Chinese, said in Chinese that Madonna did not understand: "Zhiwen, is it okay to travel to the Maldives after a while?" β
"I'm busy at work, where do I have time to travel? Let's talk about Christmas. The man with the female surname Chinese said.
"You don't know, it's great there, I watched a TBN commercial yesterday and it's a paradise." The Chinese woman said.
"yes, yes," said another woman in the group, "it's beautiful, and the 'qingren' set is discounted." Why don't we go with the six of us, three men and three women are just right! β
"I'm going to die, Ailu, Brother Yi and I are innocent. I'm going to go to the four of you! The woman left said immediately.
"Hey, I didn't say that you and Ah Yi are the first couple, it's you who don't admit yourself." The woman who had spoken earlier retorted.
"Oh......" Four of them coaxed together, and the remaining man and woman were silent, looking at each other with their heads down, and immediately turned their heads away as soon as they made eye contact.
Madonna couldn't understand what they were saying, but she could hear that their tone was merry, and it was a little gloomy to think that she didn't have a friend in New York.
"Yellow-skinned monkeys, can you be quiet?" Suddenly, a white man in front of him turned his head back, and seemed to be unhappy that the group of Chinese was too noisy, and directly said the insulting surname.
"What do you say! Don't you dare to say it again! The Chinese named Zhiwen stood up angrily.
"I'm talking about yellow-skinned monkeys." Whites are not to be outdone.
"White-skinned pig, Fack your mother!" Zhiwen raised his fist and was about to beat someone, but was stopped by his friend.
The white man was also rolling up his sleeves, but was persuaded by his girlfriend.
Since there were people on both sides of the rack, and it was a public place after all, after a few words of scolding on both sides, they all returned to their seats, and the staff who rushed to hear the news were also relieved and did not call the police.
The movie finally began, and the opening Chinese made several Chinese people proud, and it seemed that they had regained a lot of national pride.
In the screening room, most of the audience saw the movie for the first time, and some came back to rewatch it because they liked it.
The beautiful scenery of the Maldives brought the female audience that kind of shock, just like when people watched 3D "Avatar" later, the scenery in the two films seemed to be not in the world.
When Wang Zijun and Laura. When Fanna kissed for the first time in the sunset, strange sounds began to sound in the screening room, and the man and woman beside Madonna who were teased by their companions had already held hands together.
The love scenes that women like to watch make men like it even more, because women at this time tend to have too much hormones, and men can make moves to break through their surnames without being disgusted by them.
However, it didn't take long for the men to turn their attention to the screen as well.
The intense and dazzling fight scenes, interspersed with laughter from the audience, are very useful to American audiences.
"Oh, that's great, kill him!" The man who had quarreled with the Chinese audience began to shout cheering for the characters in the film.
His girlfriend also said: "Wang is so handsome, that Gamuel will definitely be repaired by Wang." β
The white audience said, "No, I think John. Travolta's villain is so cool. Yo, use the gun in your hand and give that yellow-skinned boy a shot! β
"Tucker, don't insult the king!" His girlfriend suddenly said with a cold face.
"Okay, baby, I just prefer Travolta, aren't you also a fan of his movie?" Said the white male viewer.
"Humph!" The man's girlfriend was so angry that she stopped talking to him.
Seeing the schadenfreude behind the two arguing, a man said in Chinese: "See, Wang Zijun can make a long face for us Chinese." β
