The first to see Late Summer were Jacqueline and the curly-haired Bastian, who were both under contract with a modeling agency. Late Summer was surprised by the two of them appearing together, and she was a little repulsed by the contracts that appeared on the table, because she herself was not sure whether to enter the industry.

Late Summer: "I don't know if I should sign this contract or not, because I'm still under surveillance. ”

BASTIAN: "DEAR MOMO, SINCE WE CAN GET IN HERE, IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE SAFE AND WILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT SOON." Now they are probably dealing with it, but the efficiency is a bit slow, you have to wait. ”

Jacqueline was more formal, speaking officially: "Many people call the modeling industry 'beautiful woman, dirty industry', which sounds intimidating and even intimidating. There was a time when the industry was really as bad as it could have been, and many people were hurt by it. Nowadays, the modeling agency has gradually developed and matured, and under the professional management and management, this industry has become one of the few industries in the world where women make more money than men. ”

Looking at her proud expression at the end of the summer, it can be confirmed that Jacqueline is a feminist, and she has noticed some signs before, and now she is even more certain.

"Founded in 1980, MET Model Economy is known for its ability to discover and nurture the world's top models. After the packaging, those girls who signed up were able to have a place on the catwalk. She took a deep breath and continued, "MET has modeled and brokered in more than 60 countries around the world and now has around 400 signed models. I think it's a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. You should hold on to it. ”

Late Summer didn't answer directly, because she never believed the words of the marketers. It's like the person who bought the lock told her that it was the highest grade lock in the mall, but it wasn't. Her house is often 'broken into'. So she turned to Bastian, who was quiet on the side, and asked, "You're also a MET model?" ”

Bastian didn't know why the end of the summer would suddenly ask him this question, and still answered honestly: "It used to be, and now it's gone, and it's developing on its own." ”

Late Summer continued to ask, "Why?" Listen to the introduction, this is a very large and promising company, isn't it? ”

Bastian glanced at Jacqueline, with a tangled look in his eyes, and said bluntly: "For some personal reasons." Inconvenient to disclose. The main reason is that I am a freedom-loving person, and my previous agent had too much control. ”

Xia Mo also thought about the relationship between the two, and said with a smile: "A big company is always harsh on newcomers. At best, I'm just a ticket player in the industry, and I don't want to be restricted to death. And I don't think I'm going to fit into that ecosystem. ”

Jacqueline said, "But the look in the photo tells me that you like the spotlight. You need a professional team to operate. This incident still has a great impact on you. I can tell you bluntly. Many companies don't want someone with a black history to be their spokesperson. ”

Raised eyebrows at the end of summer, the implication is that if she doesn't sign this contract, she will have a black history and will be abandoned by the modeling industry? At the end of the summer, I didn't want to talk about it anymore, and I was a little tired: "I came to France with the intention of just trying, I didn't want to really enter the industry completely, my job is a student. ”

Xia Mo felt that this sentence had appeared a lot lately, and she seemed to have been explaining her original intention to others. She is indeed a good child who loves to read.

Jacqueline put down her facial expression: "OK, what are your conditions." Speak up and listen. ”

Late Summer: "If I could sign up for the first time, I would choose a small company over a well-established company like MET. ”

In his cognition, no one would say no to MET, not even him from a good family. Bastian was puzzled and asked, "Why?" After all, everyone is more willing to sign a contract with a large company, which is more secure. Whether it is resource conditions or merchant channels, large companies always have greater advantages, and it is easier to become famous. ”

Xia Mo shook his head: "You are wrong. If a large company has more people signing up, there will definitely be fewer resources allocated to you, and you must grab it. Now I don't have that much ambition, so I will eventually be eliminated. And a small company to discover a potential stock, will definitely vigorously and comprehensively cultivate, and the road to fame will be smoother. ”

Looking at the quiet two, Xia Mo continued: "Moreover, I have the same reason as you not to join MET because of freedom. ”

Jacqueline once again looked at the girl in front of her and praised: "What a smart girl, many people go into the misunderstanding, fight to the death, and finally be eliminated before becoming famous." And those models who change jobs when they are famous may not be able to develop much smoothly. I'm looking forward to being your agent and watching you grow step by step. ”

She motioned for Stien to open the briefcase, and there was a contract for someone else on the façade: "Give her a NEXT contract, and you will make an appointment to talk to that girl when you go back, and you will be in charge this time." ”

Bastian knew that this was a test of his abilities, took a deep breath, took out a thin simple contract, and was more willing to see this than the previous thick regulations, so he took it. Casually flipped: "You guys are so sweet, you know I can't read French." ”

Bastian laughs: "All the contracts of our company are bilingual, after all, not all models are French. The company's history began: "JBNEXT was founded in Paris, operating in Paris, Milan and New York at the same time, and has taken a completely globally integrated development route. ”

The more Bastian spoke, the more excited he became: "Our aim is to discover and cultivate the world's supermodels, and we follow the principles of pioneering, innovation, multiculturalism and humane management. The main thing is that there is the freedom you want here, provided that you do your job and the company will not interfere in your private life. ”

At the end of the summer, he looked up from the contract and calmly asked the most critical question: "When was your company founded?" How many signed models are there now? What is the current situation? How many agents are there for good models? ”

These problems make Stien overwhelmed, maybe he is a good male model. But he wasn't a qualified businessman yet, and he had to continue his education in running a company.

Jacqueline smiled and said, "You're much more shrewd than I thought, it's not for your age." The shareholders of this company are me and Bass. Founded three years ago. I've been at MET for 10 years and know a little bit about it. The stalls are too large and the staffing is uneven, and it is really difficult for newcomers to get ahead without 'special care'. Although there are only 30 signed models at NEXT, all of them have already gained a foothold in the industry. ”

Xia Mo laughed and said, "What if I'm not motivated?" ”

Jacqueline: "Are you?" I thought you were a proud person, and you couldn't have backed down from something like this, knowing that LINA originally chose you as the face of the new collection. NEXT is always discovering the unique personality of the model. Each piece is dedicated to creating a unique, inimitable beauty. I think you're a good fit, very malleable. ”

She remembered what Anna Wolf said: Although there is a fixed route for the steps, the model cannot blindly cater to the loss of personality. Under all kinds of constraints, being able to get out of your own style is a necessary ability for a good model.

She seems to have learned the first trait of a top model: personality.

Xia Mo did not deny her views and evaluations, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am very unconvinced by this incident. ”

Immediately write two items in the annex to the contract: first. We do not accept illegal and pornographic, violent, and other performances, performances, and other work that is detrimental to the dignity, reputation, or physical or mental health. Second. Without the permission of the person, the itinerary shall not be arranged privately, and one party shall be allowed to have flexible time.

Jacqueline smiled and said, "You really love freedom, which is the treatment only a top model can have." If it is a training and interview arranged by us, you must attend, this is to ensure the normal operation and interests of our company. I can't put a robot on the runway, it's so unprofessional. ”

Late Summer: "Okay, I promise, you can add that." You know. I'm still a student. There was a lot of time I couldn't run around, only winter and summer vacations. ”

Jacqueline: "I'll take you off school. This is good for your development, and it is the choice of many people to continue their studies when they have achieved something. ”

Xia Mo shook his head: "No, this is my insistence, do what I should do at the age I should have." Like a moth to a flame, I will only schedule it for now and not later. ”

Jacqueline signs her name and forwards it to the end of summer. "It's just a simple agreement, but it also has legal effect. We will arrange a grand signing ceremony for you. ”

Without any hesitation, he also signed his name at the end of summer. "I think there's no need for a grand signing ceremony, I just want to go out of this place as much as possible, I miss the soft sofa and hot water."

Jacqueline packed up her papers and got up: "Your work permit has been handed over to the interrogator, and you should be going through the process." Your friend is waiting for you outside, we'll leave first, and I have to prepare the contract before you leave. ”

Bastian responded: "The procedure should be faster than usual, and the embassy people have also arrived, bringing the materials; The most important thing is that your friend hired the best lawyer in our country, which is very expensive and will definitely leave soon. I'm curious about your identity, the president's daughter or the daughter of a rich man? I met your friend in front of the immigration office, very stylish, but too old, otherwise I would have talked to him. ”

The end of summer has no concept of this stylish old friend at all, because it is estimated that only Uncle Guang is the only one he knows, but it is absolutely impossible for him to appear so soon.

Jacqueline and the lawyer took a look at the door of the interrogation room, nodded, and then turned sideways to let the lawyer, whose eyes were almost as long as the top of his head, pass first.

Looking at the back of Denis/Podalydès leaving, Bastian squeezed her hand: "I won't let you experience this a second time." ”

Jacqueline kissed him lightly on the cheek: "I've experienced more embarrassing things than this, and it's good now." Don't be pressured, you've done well. At least you've won Emma's heart. ”

Emma is Jacqueline's illegitimate daughter, and now she is 17 years old, and it has taken a lot of effort for Bastian to get her to nod her head in agreement.

The relationship between the two was actually not optimistic at the beginning, after all, the age difference between the two was 8 years. Now 33 years old, she not only had a short marriage, but also had an illegitimate daughter; Before quitting MET, Bastian was a very promising model and had a good family background.

Bastian smiled, and then asked puzzledly, "Why did you agree to her request, it would be difficult for us to manage." ”

Jacqueline shook her head: "Because she deserves it, on the contrary, I believe that she will be the most compatible model in our company, and there will definitely be a place for her at the top of the industry." Trust me, absolutely. (To be continued......)
