Chapter 138
Modeling is a very, very hard job, not only hard, but also a large investment in the early stage, Yinxiang invested all the money he earned from his part-time job, and borrowed some money from Yinzhen.
And before joining the company, Yinxiang had no experience, so he couldn't go directly to the catwalk, and had to go through a series of intensive training, which even included the correction of eating habits.
To put it simply, he has to get fit.
When I talked about this and the four people in the family, everyone was shocked.
"What else is shaping?" Julia was surprised, "Isn't this a good figure?" ”
"It's still not up to par." Yinxiang said depressedly, "I have measured, and my muscles have relaxed - alas, this is the end of lying on the sofa and eating chicken wings every day, so fat that I even have a small belly!" I've never grown this thing in my life! ”
When Brother Ten watches TV at night, he loves to order takeout, chicken wings, pizza, hamburger and coke or something, and he stuffs it into it, sometimes he eats so deliciously, Yinxiang can't help but come up to "help", eating This kind of thing has always been "better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone", now that I think about it, I have eaten so much fried chicken, I'm afraid it's really not good for the body.
"What then?" Julia sympathized, "No more meat? ”
"That's not going to work, it's going to cause baseband damage."
"What damage?" Julia didn't understand, and wondered when the Qing Dynasty people became more avant-garde than her.
"It's basal metabolic damage." Yinxiang said while reluctantly looking at the hot seafood pizza on the table, Yinzhen was feasting.
"Aren't you going to eat?" He looked up at Yinxiang, "Hurry up." It's hot! ”
"I can't eat it, and the coach told me to avoid fat for two hours before and after exercising, and this pizza is so thick with ham and cheese." Yinxiang swallowed his saliva, "And it's all at this point, if I fill in such a big pizza again, today's efforts will be in vain." ”
After he finished speaking, he stared at the four angrily: "After eight o'clock in the evening, you are not allowed to eat in front of me!" It's all because of you who make me fat! I can't reduce it, the responsibility is on you! ”
The four sides looked at each other. Yin Zhen was stunned: "If you don't eat it, you will get fat?" ”
"That's right! Still fat! ”
Yin Zhen shook his head: "It's ridiculously fat." He looked at the pizza in his hand again: "Then I'm ...... What to do? ”
Julia tugged at him, "Go." Come and eat in my house. ”
Yin Zhen had no choice but to get up, and said angrily in his mouth: "I'm tired for a day, who did I provoke if I had something to eat?" ”
Brother Ten also muttered: "After eight o'clock is the golden time for me to eat, isn't it my life." ”
Brother Jiu sighed: "Forget it. The old thirteen is also pitiful. From now on, everyone will ...... Eat on his back. ”
Adjust your diet. Coupled with intensive exercise, Yinxiang quickly lost weight, and his cheeks were bulging. It's a little baby-faced, but now it's good, it's so thin that it's sunk in, and the silhouette is much sharper than before.
He is like this, and he is very photogenic, but Yinzhen felt distressed and said, what do those coaches of the modeling company think? Why did he abuse his brother like this? If he loses weight again, Yinxiang will be almost the same as when he first escaped.
Julia comforted that the model requirements are very high, and people have to pay a price for beauty.
Yinzhen didn't listen, he said, modern aesthetics are deformed and perverted, it's better to be in the Qing Dynasty, Yinxiang really shouldn't do this.
…… It's as if he forgot that it was he who instigated Yinxiang to take this path in the first place.
At first, Yinxiang was also very unaccustomed to this, the training of models was tiring, sometimes he could fall asleep in the bathtub, and Yinzhen had to carry him to bed, and he had to eat a separate meal, full of vegetables and oats, and then boiled chicken breasts. He could only drink skim milk even for milk, and Yinxiang died of pain when he drank it, because skim milk had no milky flavor and the taste was much worse than ordinary milk. Not to mention that when he does extreme muscle-building exercises, he can only consume the most basic carbohydrates: sports drinks, fruits, honey, root vegetables.
But the effect of this was obvious, and Julia watched day by day as the strong muscles on Yinxiang's body were revealed.
The requirements of the model are different from the requirements of the general bodybuilding coach, not too "thick", the muscles should be slender, and the whole should be "thin".
Therefore, Yinxiang's thinness today is not the same as the weakness of the zombie world, taking off his clothes, it is a beautiful inverted triangle, this so-called dressing is thin and undressed.
This kind of adjustment also left Yinxiang with a "sequelae", that is, he saw that no one in the family was pleasing to the eye, and felt that people were out of shape, either they were too shriveled and unenergetic, or they were hanging with a bunch of loose fat. Especially Brother Shi, Yinxiang felt that he was fat as a ball.
"What's wrong with Fat Balls?" The tenth elder brother shouted, "This is called blessing, this is called blessing!" ”
"Brother Ten, this is not good!" He said bitterly, "I used to ride a horse or something, but now I don't ride a horse anymore, I lie on the sofa every day, you can't walk like this, and if it's more serious, you'll get fatty liver!" You're going to get diabetes! Your insulin secretion is not normal! ”
Brother Ten didn't listen at all, and still ate and drank and didn't exercise.
Yinxiang even felt that Yinzhen had also gained weight, and he also advised his fourth brother to exercise quickly and not delay.
"Look at everyone who is fat now!" Yin Zhen glared at him, "Where am I fat?" I'm not a model. ”
"Fourth brother, you must be fat, definitely fatter than when you were in the Qing Dynasty." Yinxiang insisted, "Look at your face is round." ”
"Round fart!" Yin Zhen scolded, "I stay up late all day long, it's strange that I'm fat!" ”
"That's right, you don't eat and sleep regularly, so it's easy for people to gain weight! I've told you several times, the burger is too calorie-high, it's better to touch it less, you see you eat burgers, woo woo woo ......"
Yin Zhen laughed angrily at him: "What do you call ahhh I'm a cat, huh? ”
"Huh? The fourth brother only likes fish castles, isn't this proof? And I didn't expect you to like fries, fourth brother! That thing is the Fat Gain Champion King! Fourth brother, do you want to be the first fat emperor of the Qing Dynasty? ”
…… Without waiting for Yinxiang to finish speaking, Yinzhen beat him away.
What about the ninth elder brother? He smiled and listened to the advice, nodded and agreed to try, but did not try at all.
As for Julia, when she heard the word "weight loss", she repeatedly told her to forgive, pointing to the sky and saying that she would definitely not eat supper again from tomorrow.
"I didn't let you go without eating, I mean, you have to exercise, Julia, you have to give yourself at least forty minutes a day. I'm not trying to make you thinner, either. It's not nice to simply be thin, and no matter how thin people are, they still have fat on their bodies, and women must gain muscle while losing collagen. Come on. I'll teach you how to do the most basic gluteal bridge ......"
At last. The whole family couldn't bear his verbosity, so Julia had to buy a treadmill and put it in the living room. Everyone took turns to go up and run.
Yinxiang walked on the stage for the first time, walked for four hours, and changed a total of fifty sets of clothes.
It was a joint brand conference for spring and summer, and there were many people in clothes and few hands, so I had to run back to change the second set after getting off the stage, and I didn't even have time to breathe. That day, he was wearing new shoes equipped by the manufacturer, which did not fit too well, and halfway through, Yinxiang felt that it was not good, and his feet were worn by the shoes everywhere, and the pain was so painful.
But he couldn't stop, he couldn't stop, he couldn't even show the slightest, his steps had to remain fluid, his body had to remain perfect, he could only grit his teeth, his eyes bright, and his expression committently continued......
When he got home and took off his shoes, he grinned in pain, and it turned out that his socks couldn't be torn off. Yinzhen hurriedly helped him to the bed, and after a closer look, there were five or six band-aids on his feet, and the tissue fluid and blood wet the band-aids.
"Let's not go." Yin Zhen trembled his lips, lowered his head to give him medicine, and said, "Don't do this!" We can always find something else to do! ”
Yinxiang smiled bitterly and was speechless.
This is the first runway, and the partners are very satisfied, and it is said that they will also give their models a bonus.
"Fourth brother, it's nothing, it's really nothing." He said in a dumb voice, "Everyone is tired, and they have all persevered, and the other newcomers haven't run, how can I do it and leave the stall?" ”
When he said this, Yinzhen was even more angry: "But your feet are like this, if you go any further, you will be wasted!" This is going to be seen by those people in the Criminal Department, who think you have been punished. ”
"It's not that serious." Yinxiang smiled, "It's just that the new shoes are not used to it, and they are a little grinding." ”
In fact, not only his feet, but also his knees were sore, but he didn't dare to mention this stubble to Yinzhen, otherwise Yinzhen would never let him go on the runway again.
That night, Yinxiang couldn't get out of bed, and after bathing, it was Yinzhen who carried him to the bed, his feet didn't dare to land, Julia made dinner and brought him to the bed to eat.
But Yinxiang just smiled and said, "It's not easy to earn money." ”
The tenth elder brother said: "Old thirteen, why are you suffering? The surface is bright, and we can't do this kind of work! ”
"Don't work, Brother Ten, will you support me?" Yinxiang said with a smile.
The tenth elder brother walked away in a daze.
Yinxiang cherishes this job very much, not because it has a glamorous surface, but because it allows Yinxiang to make friends with all kinds of different people, broaden his horizons, and people's feelings are suddenly different, which is much better than working in a supermarket. Although he is also very vigilant and does not plan to work for too long, he has seen too many overloaded, and his body has accumulated diseases, such as lumbar muscle strain, which are almost incurable.
"I don't want to make a knees on the catwalk." He joked with Julia in private, "When the time comes, it will be found out that Prince He Shuoyi died on the catwalk, then I will be embarrassed." ”
"So, what are you going to do after you leave the runway?" Julia was curious.
"I want to be a producer." Yinxiang said, "Actually, I can't go far on the road of modeling." ”
"Huh? Why? ”
"First, after all, I started the industry too late." Yinxiang blinked, "Second, I'm not trendy enough." ”
Later, Julia kind of understood that Yinxiang's face was not the kind of "Oriental face" with single eyelids and thin as a knife as recognized by the international trend, Oriental people thought he was handsome, and Westerners looked at him, but they felt that it was not authentic.
"Well, in the future, I want to slowly retreat into the background, which will be more controllable."
However, before that, he decided to fight as hard as he could, not just to make money, he wanted to see how far he could go.
So soon after, Yinxiang began to accept print ads.
The first print ad he received was a Hainan tourism advertisement, Sunny Beach Coconut Tree. An island in full bloom...... Yinxiang's image in the advertisement is very masculine and healthy, with snow-white teeth and a positive smile, impeccable.
Yinxiang himself didn't take this seriously, everyone took the photo back and looked at it with a smile, and promised to invite a big meal or something when he got the money, and it passed. Afterwards, Yinzhen carefully cut out the advertisements in the magazine, and made a photo frame like a baby. Privately, he whispered to Julia. I didn't expect Lao Thirteen to be able to do this business. It was a surprise to him.
Julia laughed, "What? You used to look down on your brother? ”
"Nope." Yin Zhen also smiled, "Actually, I have a good plan, I can only do odd jobs in my life, who told him that he has no diploma and no resume?" I really didn't expect that. It turns out that this world is now. Long legs and tall heads can also be exchanged for money. ”
Julia laughed. She said, otherwise Yinzhen will try it too.
"I'll forget it." Yin Zhen shook his head, took out the magazine advertisement and took a look. "Huang Ama would never have imagined that his son would be able to become a model."
"He's glad he knows, right?" Julia said in passing.
"You're stupid! How could he be happy when he knew? Only rage. Yin Zhen snorted, "How can Huang Ama's old-fashioned Qing Dynasty brain accept the prince as a model?" In his heart, he must regard models and actors as a category, which is the ninth rate, you know. ”
"Huh? How could he think that? Julia said unfairly, "Thirteen, how healthy and sunny this advertisement is!" ”
"He's old-fashioned, I just don't think so anyway." Yin Zhen looked at the advertising painting repeatedly, and praised, "Thirteen was born a good boy, no matter when, he looks so dignified - so he should be a prince." ”
Julia Dark Music, what kind of reason is Yinzhen?
But the situation soon developed beyond their expectations.
The travel advertisement was shot well, and soon, another business picked Yinxiang, this time it was an orange advertisement, still a "handsome young man in a white shirt under the sun", and it was dynamic, but it was mainly placed on the Internet, Yinxiang's temperament was very popular, this orange advertisement, and even on the Internet was jokingly called "the most handsome smile of the year".
These two advertisements opened the market for Yinxiang, and the number of merchants looking for him gradually increased, icing on the cake, and Yinxiang won the gold medal in the national model competition that year, and then was sent to Milan.
The three shows in Milan, two in Pittiuomo and four shows in Paris attracted much attention for a while, and he became a popular fried chicken, a newly baked little fresh meat.
During that time, Yinzhen was so proud that he walked like a spring on his feet: this proves that he was the right choice to let Yinxiang change careers.
…… He doesn't mention the "abuse" of his brother by the modeling agency now.
The performance was successful, Julia and they called to congratulate, but Yinxiang smiled and said that it would be okay to get here.
He wasn't going to go any further, he was smart and knew the limits. Although a photo of him with Miuccia Prada appeared in the newspaper that day.
Back in China, Yinxiang took advantage of the momentum and immediately took over the third advertisement, which was also dynamic, and appeared in the prime time of major TV stations, and the product was a well-known imported brand of cologne.
The advertisement was broadcast on TV, and all four members of the family saw it, and at first, everyone was happy that Yinxiang could be on TV, and felt that he would definitely have a brilliant future in the future.
Only Brother Jiu, after watching it a few times, suddenly smacked his lips and said, "Strange, the taste of this advertisement is not quite right." ”
Brother Ten asked, "Brother Jiu, what do you mean?" ”
Brother Jiu frowned: "I can't say either, this advertisement is not the same thing as the orange one in the first place." Thirteen seemed to be a different person. Well...... Speaking of which, I'm curious about what kind of audience this ad is for. ”
Yin Zhen was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
Brother Jiu said simply: "Fourth brother, you think, cologne is used by men, and it is generally bought by men, right?" Since it's a conversation between men and men, I think it should be more straightforward and profound, and don't be so verbose......"
Julia laughed: "If the ninth master comes to shoot this advertisement, it must be, grab the cologne bottle, stuff it into the person's hand, and then say in a rough voice: This is good!" That's it! The entire ad is three seconds and scrolled ten times. Direct and profound! ”
Brother Ten was on the side, laughing and rolling: "Are you still selling cologne?" That's selling panacea! ”
Brother Jiu was a little angry by the two of them: "I didn't mean that!" I mean, this advertises it...... Alas, forget it. I can't tell, I just think it's a little weird. Damn, that's weird! Other models obviously look quite normal, but if they are their younger brothers, they will look so wrong - it is probably my psychological effect. ”
Because of Brother Jiu's words, looking at it, Yin Zhen also felt that something was wrong.
Privately, he said to Julia that Yinxiang's perfume advertisement was a bit ...... Too feminine?
Julia looked at the ad several times. I felt the same way. The music used in the advertisement is a soft and low cello, and the long camera is pulled, and Yinxiang bare his shoulders, as if smiling but not smiling. His eyes flashed in a hurry in the camera. There are a lot of mirrors in the background. There are also piles of chocolate-colored silk fabrics, and the light and shadow are not dark......
In short, Brother Jiu is right. The taste is not right.
She thought about it and comforted Yinzhen and said that advertising is like this now, and it can't always be upward, the more high-end and luxurious, the farther away the advertisement is from the product itself, and the simpler the elements. If you really clench your iron fist or something, it will become a propaganda poster of the sixties.
"I didn't say I was going to shoot like that." Yin Zhen said depressedly, "But this is too ambiguous." ”
"You, you are like your Emperor Amma, old-fashioned." Julia rolled her eyes, "What's wrong with the ambiguity?" Just make money. ”
Yin Zhen was displeased by her: "It's okay to make money, but it also depends on how to make it!" Wasn't the old orange advertisement very good? Why shoot such a vague perfume commercial! ”
Julia said helplessly: "Are you not satisfied?" Do you want to talk to Thirteen? You don't allow him to accept this kind of advertisement? ”
Yinzhen was silent, although he was dissatisfied, but he also knew that Yinxiang was not so easy to shoot advertisements, they were all opportunities more precious than gold, Yinxiang was not a hot star, it was not advertisers begging him, it was he who begged advertisers to use him. And every time he gets a gratuity, Yinxiang will take it home and distribute it to everyone.
He can't interfere with Yinxiang's work because of his likes and dislikes.
"I'm just worried that this cologne advertisement is very popular, and the old thirteen will be fixed in this style in the future, you look at it, these advertisers are the most destructive."
Yinzhen became a prophecy.
The cologne advertisement quickly became popular, and to make matters worse, the advertiser really took a fancy to Yinxiang's new style, and then he received several advertisements: watches, men's clothing, men's skin care products and foreign wine...... One is more ambiguous than the other, just like the tips of the photographer's fingers, wiping his whole body little by little, in the lens, Yinxiang's temperament has become extremely feminine, especially in the advertisement of skin care products, he is dressed in a corner, and the bright red robe depicting the golden phoenix is sweeping to the ground, even the tenth elder brother can't stand it when he sees it: "I know, you are the prince, I don't know, I think you are a companion in Yuqing Palace!" ”
The companion in Yuqing Palace refers to the prince and the child.
Later, Brother Jiu said that he finally understood what was wrong with the previous cologne advertisement.
"Old Thirteen, he doesn't sell cologne!" He dragged out his voice and said, "He's selling 'sexy.'" ”
Julia brought those advertisements and watched them several times, and she couldn't help but admit secretly: Yinxiang in the camera is indeed very sexy. The reason why she didn't notice it at first was because she and Yinxiang were too familiar.
Advertisers are really skilled, if you find a model with a weak temperament, and then shoot these feminine advertisements, the whole aura will wither, and I feel that I can't hold it up, but it's boring.
It is precisely because Yinxiang's own temperament is extremely masculine and enthusiastic that letting him shoot this kind of advertisement is like a flame burning in a transparent ice cellar, with strong contrasts and heart-pounding.
And Yinxiang's sense of the lens is really outstanding, his pale and bony face similar to Yinzhen, the light and shadow hit, it looks layered, coupled with the lazy eyes looking at the camera, the water is dripping, and it can almost drown people.
Yinzhen doesn't like these advertisements very much, he thinks that the advertisers have distorted his younger brother, they just cut off the most precious part of the old thirteen, so Yinxiang in the lens is not like Yinxiang at all, he has never seen such a "sluggish" old thirteen in his life - a young man with a big waist and a sunny upward tone has become thin and decadent, like a refugee fleeing the famine, and he is not even allowed to laugh, and his dull eyes are obviously revealing "I have drunk gruel for three days, do you have any steamed buns to eat today?" This kind of miserable and hopeless feeling, just like that, everyone still applauded, and called it "melancholy nobleman" and "the last blue-blooded nobleman"...... Could it be that Yinxiang is a lobster?
Julia laughed when he said it, she didn't expect that an advertisement for a supermodel could be interpreted like this by Yinzhen.
She comforted Yinzhen: "Why are you so angry? You see, everyone doesn't think like you do, everyone thinks it's good! ”
"But I don't think so!"
Julia was helpless: "Then, you want to punish the advertisers?" Or is it a stream of Ningguta? ”
"Is it okay for me to accuse them?" Yin Zhen didn't have a good breath and said, "I am the victim's family." ”
Yinxiang himself didn't feel victimized, he felt that the money was in hand, so much care.
As for the intentions of advertisers, he also understands: "Gotsex? This is said in luxury advertisements all over the world, and advertisers deliberately distort his temperament, portray him as a symbol full of lust, and even lead him in the direction of lust and lust...... People are just trying to attract attention and money.
But isn't he also in it for money? Not for money, what kind of advertisement does he shoot?
So he smiled and said, "Fourth brother, don't feel uncomfortable, anyway, it's just to make money." You can't let me keep shooting commercials for those kids drinking sugar water, right? That's healthy and sunny, but it has no future. ”
And Yinxiang also told Yinzhen that he wouldn't keep shooting commercials, sooner or later he would have to go behind the scenes, and it was only temporary.
Having said this, Yinzhen endured his full stomach of opinions, but occasionally, he would still take out the advertisement for Hainan tourism, because he always felt that such Yinxiang was a "good boy".
(In other words, the relationship between the fourth and the thirteenth has begun to undergo some subtle changes...... (To be continued.) )
