CHAPTER XVIII

CAA headquarters in Los Angeles, USA, six years ago

CAA, as a well-deserved leader of the American brokerage company, is not the oldest brokerage company in the United States, but he has defeated the 80-year-old foundation with 30 years, just like his name, innovation! Fresh blood is always the most anticipated part of the entertainment industry, no matter how talented you are, if you can't keep it fresh, then someone will soon replace you!

Lance is very aware of this and is very good at grasping his own novelty, of course, thanks to the fact that he has a good agent. If it weren't for the impetus behind him, his freshness would not be seen and accepted by the public, and it would be in vain. Today's show is the most important one he will receive this year, because once he stands on this stage, he will be known by people in other countries except the United States, and his career will reach another height.

For him, who was born as a professional model, it is the best choice to find a better way to develop before the end of his short professional life. And these, must have a strong fan group as a backup, he has no talent for acting, and singing can only ensure that it is not out of tune, so advertising and endorsements and independent brands are his ideas. Dreams are always beautiful, and it is a hundred times more difficult to achieve, so he can't take any wrong steps now, he must follow the plan, step by step. If this show is smashed, it will have to wait until next year, not only will the plan be postponed for a year, but his credibility will also be greatly reduced, who knows if anyone will use him next year. So, Lance was extra careful today.

"Lance, it's almost you." The backstage staff reminded.

β€œok! Here it comes! ”

All the qiΔ“ in the background seems messy, but in fact, they are all carried out in an orderly manner.

In the second row of the front grandstand area, Lin Qi and Momo were crowded in the middle of a group of reporters, barely standing firmly. "Momo, are you sure we still have the life to squeeze out?" Lin Qi was a person who didn't know if it was a man or a woman, maybe she was carrying a bag on her chest, and the rivets on the bag kept piercing her back. She could only straighten her spine desperately and avoid contact.

"I can't care so much, I finally got in. Be sure to see MR with your own eyes. Brown's latest masterpiece. Momo bit the word "own eyes" very hard.

Oh, yes! For design students like them, even if they don't understand the master's masterpiece with their own eyes, they can show off for days when they get the first-hand photos for the first time! Her mentor once said that whether it is an ultra-detailed design drawing or an ultra-high-definition picture, it is not as shocking as what you see with your own eyes. This is the soul of design, only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand what the designer was thinking at that time.

This time, I'll come to see Mr. Momo. Brown's show, she actually didn't have much to look forward to, because she studied jewelry design, and the master was a master of fashion design, but Momo said that there is no category in design, and it is always good to feel it, so she came, and now it seems that it is unknown whether she can watch this show.

They were crowded to death, and the big names in the front row sat in chairs next to them that could stand for two people, and talked leisurely. What a difference!

"Everyone, be quiet, and then it's the finale of this season's new releases! Also MR. Brown's proudest design of the year! ......" The host speaks fluently and sleekly London, and he is not a local when he hears it.

In the midst of countless scorching eyes of anticipation, Lance took a deep breath and stepped out. Pause, look back, stand. The whole set of actions was smooth, I don't know if it was the master's design that amazed everyone, or Lance's appearance and interpretation were staggering, and countless applause suddenly rang out at the scene. The flashes are endless, and all the media shots are fixed on him. Including Lin Qi.

Lin Qi looked at the standing lance blankly, forgetting where he was doing, and he didn't seem to be able to hear the cheers now, the world was quiet and only he was left!

Back in the dormitory, Lin Qi was still intoxicated by that charming side face, because from her point of view, she could only see his side face, although it was only a side face, Lin Qi still felt impeccable!

"Qiqi, what are you doing?" Momo came out of the shower and saw that her friend was still in this action before she entered the bathroom, in a daze!

"Huh? What the? ”

"What do you want?"

"Momo, I'm going to chase that man, no matter what method I use!" Lin Qi was no longer rational at this time.

"Who?"

"That's the finale for today!"

"Which? What about three? ”

"Three? Isn't there one here? Lin Qi found that after he appeared, he didn't notice the others at all.

"You, you, you, you fell in love at first sight?!" Momo was surprised, Lin Qi is usually such a serious three-good student, he never looks at celebrities and handsome guys or anything, but today he fell in love at first sight with a man who had only met once! Love, sure enough, can't be predicted! It's horrible!

"Hmm!" Lin Qi nodded.

After that, Lin Qi's life was only two things, studying and watching Lance. Of course, it's not about me, it's about all the Lance-related news on the Internet.

Three months later, Lin Qi made the decision to rebel for the first time in her life, and she wanted to secretly change departments. Because she found out that the best way to get in touch with Lance and win him down is to become his agent. At that time, even if it was photographed by the media, it didn't matter. At that time, Lin Qi was still an innocent girl, and she didn't care about the consequences and results.

She went behind her parents' back, transferred to artist management, and began to study and work frantically, of course, not because of lack of money, but to get close to Lance. She never thought about failure, so when she applied for a costume assistant eight times and failed, she decisively put her resume in the recruitment column of the field notebook. Field notes generally favor men, because they are all hard work, and girls' bodies are still much worse.

"Sir, I really need this job, believe me, I can definitely do well!" Lin Qi had been pestering the interviewer for half an hour, and the interviewer waved her impatiently and told her to go away.

"Sir, we can try it for 3 days, and when the time comes, if you think I can't do it, I'll leave! Please give me a chance! Lin Qi still didn't give up.

"Okay, then the probation period is one week, there is no salary, 10 hours a day, and only lunch boxes are provided for overtime." The black man, deliberately stating conditions that he himself found ridiculous, hoping to scare this little Asian girl, who seemed to him to be nothing more than a crazy star-chaser.

"Deal!"

β€œwhatοΌŸοΌβ€ Men think that there is something wrong with their ears, what a wonder the world is! Is this little girl teasing him?!

"I promise your terms, I do!"

The man hesitated for a few seconds, "OK!" Then you come to work tomorrow! ”

Since then, Lin Qi has started all kinds of life on the road, running from school to CAA, from subway station to bus station, from canteen to dormitory, she hardly stops for a moment, because she must ensure that she can't be late! Otherwise, this hard-won job may be lost!

Lin Qi's life has changed from two things to three things, plus looking forward to meeting Lance when he works every day, this thing!

I got the exact news today that Lance will come to the studio to take the latest endorsement advertising photos, and Lin Qi specially got up early in the morning to put on makeup to make himself look energetic and full of vitality! Today's goal was to get Lance to notice her and make a good first impression on him so that he could mention it later, and she certainly didn't expect to be able to make Lance remember her all at once.

Momo sighed, although she felt that her roommate was simply doing something that couldn't be done at all, "Come on! But I still can't bear to dampen her enthusiasm!

Lin Qi smiled and received Momo's encouragement, and happily came to the shed. Happily do the preparatory work, the background board is paved, make sure that it is not loose, the lighting board is good, the headlight line is connected, and the sanitation is cleaned! After doing his own work, Lin Qi also helped the costume assistant catin to sort out the clothes one by one!

"Did you go out and pick up money this morning?" Catin asked with a smile.

"Nope! It's my idol today! ”

"Lance?"

"Uh-huh!" Lin Qi nodded.

"He's a very strict agent, you have to be careful! Last time, someone asked for an autograph without permission, and was scolded by the agent, and later resigned! ”

"Huh?! So nasty! "She still wants to take a group photo.

That time, Lin Qi didn't take a photo with Lance, nor did he have any communication, and he didn't even get a hand of water or something. Just looked at him from a little distance all day, and she found that he was a very laughing person in private. Laughing is like the first spring breeze after winter, warm into people's hearts, and have a long aftertaste.

Later, Lin Qi entered the internship period, and she insisted on completing all the courses that she had left behind according to her classmates, although not all of them were excellent. At that time, she was already a person who received her salary on time and commuted normally, and she was the black manager at the time, and later praised her!

Officially entered CAA at the beginning of her senior year, and the supervisor praised her perseverance and persistence, plus she was a counterpart major, and she had no failure to do so, so she became one of the few employees who entered CAA without graduation, although the position was very low. But Lin Qi was very satisfied, and she was one step closer to him. At that time, she could already see Lance every once in a while, although most of the time from afar, or passing by.

Their first acquaintance, when she was about to graduate, had to work and prepare for the thesis defense. She rotates almost 24 hours a day, and almost all of her mouth is coffee.

She was groggy that day, taking a cup to the pantry to find coffee, and before she could enter the door, she heard the sound of a fight inside, and she was just about to turn around and walk away, when she heard a curse from inside. It turned out to be him! Listen again, it is the sound of fists hitting sandbags, the company has prepared small sandbags for employees in the pantry, hoping that employees can vent their dissatisfaction with it, so that they can work hard! She decided that he was the only one in it! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she pushed the door in without hesitation.

Sure enough, it was only Lance himself, surprised and embarrassed, and he quickly regained a charming smile. Looking at her, he paused for a few seconds and said, "I'll try the company's new equipment." ”

Lin Qi chuckled, "Is it sturdy?" ”

The atmosphere instantly relaxed, and Lance found that this Asian girl was very fair, not like the yellow skin that is usually marked by Asians, "It's not good for girls to stay up late." He gestured to the coffee cup in her hand.

"No way, I have to work again, and I have to prepare for the thesis defense." Lin Qi spread his hands.

"You haven't graduated yet?" Lance's gaze rested on the pass on her chest that only a regular employee had to offer.

"Right away."

"Artist management?" Lance's tone was half affirmative and half asking.

"Yes, but I studied jewelry design for the last two years."

"Then why did you switch to this major? This major is not a good choice for girls. ”

"For the man of my dreams."

"Who?" Lance seemed interested.

"Don't tell you, it's a secret. Tell me about you, why are you here? Lin Qi wanted to know his one qiΔ“, including his sadness and anger and other negative feelings.

"I'm going to take a look at the working environment of you low-level employees and see how it's different from us."

Lin Qi pouted, this answer was obviously fake, "Could it be that your agent picked it up for you?" work? Lin Qi's gaze swept over his chest and crotch.

Lance laughed, this little girl was so funny, "How old are you, what are you going to think about?" ”

Lin Qi expressed his dissatisfaction with this intentional or unintentional age discrimination, and clearly spit out one word: "Mosaic." ”

"Hahahahahaha~~~" Lance didn't know what hit his laugh, he felt that the previous haze had been swept away. It's so much fun for this little girl to talk to.

Later, Lance remembered that CAA had a little assistant from the East, who spoke very interestingly and studied very well, named Lin.
