Chapter 337 ["Vanity Fair" Photo Shooting]
On June 22, Zhou Xuan found Anne after calling? Leibovitz's studio.
"Looks like you're ready."
"yes, how are you going to shoot it?"
"I've read a lot of your news, and the most commented is 'The man who works miracles, the magician, the calm that doesn't fit his age.'" These are your characteristics, so take photos from these three points as well. "Vanity Fair" is waiting for your photos. Anne smiled.
Vanity Fair, founded in 1913, was the result of Kant, a well-known publisher who had successfully run a wide range of publications, including Vogue. Nast combined his two magazinesβββ Clothing and Vanity Fair, and named the new magazine Vanity Fair, which has become the most famous fashion magazine over the years.
"Vanity Fair", which has existed for nearly a century, itself has had ups and downs with the changes of the times, just like the people in fame and fortune, and its own history is also like a microcosm of Vanity Fair. Its style has always been to lead the aesthetic trend of the times with the attitude of a pioneer, and it is a publication that mainly promotes contemporary culture. The content includes reports on the lifestyle, tastes, politics, celebrities, books, humor, journalism, art and photography, it is a star-making factory, a reading book for politicians in Washington, and is also known as the "Bible" of Hollywood, and it is also a window for all living beings who chase fame and fortune to see the world.
This has always been an era of chasing fame and fortune, and "Vanity Fair" is like a stage, showing the stage of the media, entertainment and politics chasing fame and fortune, and at the same time, it has also become a grandstand for the general public to appreciate the changes and gorgeous lives of people in fame and fortune. And certainly one of the most profitable magazines.
Since 1995, Anne has been shooting large-format posters for Vanity Fair magazine, featuring the most sparkling handsome guys and beauties of the year. Including Hollywood stars, there are also football stars like David Beckham, and Manuel Pellegrini, the woman who made Kobe Bryant fall in love at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and so on.
If you want to be in Vanity Fair magazine, you don't have to be a star to play well, you have to be good-looking, know how to be fashionable, and have a high reputation.
In the past, the only star in China who appeared on "Vanity Fair" was Zhang Ziyi. In 2007, she was the only Chinese actress to enter the list, and her approval rate was only 1%.
And "Vanity Fair" magazine recently announced the 2009 world's best dressed list, Zhou Xuan was shortlisted, becoming the only player in the NBA shortlisted, in this list, he is the only one in the entire sports world this year.
People commented: "The players on the basketball court are generally five big and three thick, Zhou Xuan is undoubtedly an outlier, his body is fit, and he is definitely a fashion model off the court." He is also the first Chinese male athlete to appear on the cover of GQ, and the third male to cover the cover of Vogue magazine, which has a history of 116 years. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Xuan also has a special fashion consultant, that is, his friend Sister Olsen. β
As soon as the photos come out, "Vanity Fair" is ready to use him as a poster picture for the new issue.
After Zhou Xuan saw some of Anne's works, he was full of confidence in her and believed that she could take good photos.
After chatting for a while, Anne said, "There's one thing I'd like to ask for your opinion on, and it's a little inspiration for me." In addition to you, I'm going to take a picture of another person, and you might be able to do it together because there's something in common. β
"Is it an NBA star too?"
"No, female star, I thought you made an appointment with her to come to New York, but it seems that you don't know about it at all." Anne laughed.
"Mary?"
Mary? Kate? Olsen had studied with Anne, and Zhou Xuan immediately thought of her. No way, I didn't hear about her when I called her in Los Angeles.
"Emma? Watson, she is the most popular female star this year. β
Zhou Xuan was a little surprised. After another five minutes, Emma arrived, Emma was a little surprised to see Zhou Xuan, the time was made by Anne, and the two arrived on their front and back feet.
"Stephen, aren't you going to Las Vegas?"
"I just arrived in New York yesterday, and I'm going to be in New York for a while." Zhou Xuan smiled. He was a little embarrassed in his heart, he just arrived in New York and ran into it again, is it that the two are very fateful? Is it still clear to spread the scandal again?
This time, Emma was also accompanied by a handsome blonde guy, who was about the same height as Zhou Xuan. Emma introduced: "This is my PR assistant, Luke? Windsor. β
"Fortunately." After Zhou Xuan shook hands with Luke, he introduced, "This is my iron buddy, Mitchell?" Butler. β
Emma smiled, "I've admired the name for a long time." β
"Really? I'm nobody, and it's an honor to meet you, Miss Watson. Mitchell was nowhere near as excited as he was when he met the Olsen sisters. Zhou Xuan immediately thought that Emma was not his favorite star, and his character probably hadn't watched "Harry Potter".
Luke interjected: "You are also the man of the year who chose Stephen when he was not yet famous, and the media said that you are the most discerning agent in the United States." β
"Thank you."
Next, Anne looks for inspiration, and Mitchell chats with Luke.
Emma and Zhou Xuan entered a lounge and waited, chatting. Emma sighed, "You don't seem to want to see me?" β
"Why do you ask that?"
Emma snorted lightly: "Because you went to Las Vegas immediately after the scandal broke out, if you weren't in a hurry to break off the relationship with me, could it be a gambling addiction?" β
"I didn't have a gambling addiction, I just went to meet a star, and the news didn't say I was playing basketball in Las Vegas, right?" Zhou Xuan paused for a moment, and sighed again: "Okay, I'm a little afraid of having an affair with you, I have a girlfriend, and I don't want her to think about it too much." β
"You must love her very much, I have seen the photos, is she a star in China?" Emma laughed. She didn't care about Zhou Xuan's honesty, because she was just an ordinary friend.
Zhou Xuan said: "She is not a star, she is an international student. β
"Oh? Sounds a bit like the story of Notting Hill, the romance between a big star and an ordinary person. β
Zhou Xuan shook his head. "I wasn't a star a year ago."
Emma smiled and asked, "It's a lot of trouble to be a star, it's a headache, right?" β
Zhou Xuan smiled slightly: "I don't feel a headache, it's good." I don't know how many people in this world envy the lives of celebrities, not for fame, but because of money. The troubles of celebrities are the troubles of rich people, and now I live a much more comfortable life. And I enjoy the feeling of being sought after. β
Emma sighed: "You enjoy it, ordinary people will feel oppressive when they get along with you, it's hard to make friends, I have a headache for this." β
"I can't help it. Even when I was an ordinary person, there were people who felt pressured to get along with me. Isn't it normal that there are still fans who hate me and find fault with me? I just need to be friends with the people I'm talking to. Zhou Xuan looked at Emma and said lightly: "Like us now, you are not a fan, I just won 10 championships, I guess you won't think I'm anything great, let alone feel pressure because of me, right?" β
"If that's the case, will you be disappointed?" Emma laughed.
"No, it won't. There were quite a few women who gave me phone numbers after the game, and I didn't contact them, and if I wasn't the Warriors' No. 12, I don't believe they would like me. It is enough for me to fall in love with one person, and that is the one I love. Zhou Xuan sighed lightly after speaking.
Nie Yuyan still didn't call, and she didn't know what happened to Lu Dao in China. Could it be that she also felt pressure to get along with him, so she deliberately distanced herself? As a person who studies psychology, Zhou Xuan really doesn't want to be in the dark.
Emma diverted the topic and sighed: "I've been quite depressed lately, I'm going to Brown University, I don't know what it will be like there, do you think you can experience what it's like to be an ordinary person." β
"I decided no, there is no ordinary person who can make the whole school know the whole school on the first day of school. If someone treats you as an ordinary person, it must be that they don't watch Harry Potter. Zhou Xuan looked at Emma and smiled: "I speak a little straight, I hope you don't mind." β
Emma didn't care and asked, "Then what do you think will happen if I go to school?" β
Zhou Xuan asked rhetorically, "Let's talk about the result you want first." β
"Read like an ordinary person, study, meet more friends, and film on vacation. I had to make "Harry Potter" in the first semester, and I won't do it again. Emma said.
"Didn't shoot before I finished school? Impossible, right? If someone spends a lot of money on you, why don't you shoot, unless you don't like filming. If you go to filming, you definitely won't go to school all the time, and then you don't see your classmates very often, and they won't be particularly close to you. On the surface, the interpersonal relationship is not bad, but it is difficult to find a friend who can make friends. What's more, most people are still under pressure to date big stars. Zhou Xuan only thought for a moment before saying his answer.
Emma frowned: "The people at Brown College have a bit of a background, so there shouldn't be so many fans, right?" β
"Obama still watches basketball, it has nothing to do with the value, you go to report and you will know, there must be many people looking for you to sign autographs, I bet." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"Ugh." Emma sighed, "Is it so hard to be an ordinary person? β
"Depending on who your friend is, if Obama invites me to dinner, I will definitely be as restrained as an ordinary person, never digging my hands into my arms, not spitting out his groins, and answering any questions." Zhou Xuan smiled: "If he complains to me, I will feel very superior, it turns out that the president is also an ordinary person." β
"I don't even want to go to school when I talk to you."
"What are you going to learn?"
"Two majors in English Literature and American History."
Please, this must be a good graduation, the United States is 200 years old, and I guess I can finish reading the textbook in a week. Zhou Xuan rubbed his nose and didn't express an opinion.
Emma snorted, "If you don't express your opinion, you must think this major is too simple." β
"Why do you think so?"
"China has a history of several thousand years, while the United States has only 200 years."
"Ha, it turns out that everyone knows this, well, I'm more interested in Chinese history." Zhou Xuan was a little proud of China.
"I now know what it's like to be treated like an ordinary person, and you don't really care about chatting with me." Emma sighed.
"Mitchell and I talk so casually, there's no need to think too much about each other, right?" Zhou Xuan looked at her, feeling that she was really a woman's heart, she wanted to be an ordinary person, and she didn't want to be ignored, isn't it very contradictory?
