Chapter Seventy-Eight: Show Director Anna Woff

It has been said that Parisian culture originated in two small islands, the Île de la Cité and the Île Saint-Louis, 50 meters apart, connected by a small Pont Saint-Louis and very delicately embedded in the Seine. Equally quaint and old are the shops of all kinds, in addition to Berthillon ice cream, there are also numerous coffee shops and florists, which exude the taste of old Paris.

At the end of summer, I happened to live in the smaller Île Saint-Louis, where the gentle water flows quietly on the shady banks, filtering out the hustle and bustle of the modern city and giving the island an atmosphere of timelessness.

The modest charm of Île Saint-Louis is like that of a French woman, a qiΔ“ is yet to be discovered. Only the old buildings have an aristocratic air, and the somewhat faded antique atmosphere of the delightful island is only occasionally encountered in the city. Like the daughter red buried in the dirt, the mellow taste of Île Saint-Louis gets better and better as time goes on.

The end of summer was a vacation, as she had the most unburdened weekend of her life, and the slower pace was perfect for contemplation. Even if you get lost in an unknown alley once in a while, there's no need to panic because it's a different feeling.

Along the Seine you can see the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, and the roadside is lined with small shops and cafes. If the sun is just right, it's a great way to sit outside the cafΓ© and bask in the sun with a cup of coffee in hand.

It's just that there is no way to continue to relax at the end of summer today, because she needs to rush to the location of the retest. A timetable, a subway map, and a simple backpack made it easy to get out of the door of the B&B at the end of summer.

At the end of summer, the destination is a very distinctive building, it is close to ten o'clock in the morning, and there are still people in twos and threes, and there is no shadow of people in the studio. Bastian had told her to go out in the wrong way, because it was their tradition, and the bad traffic would definitely make everyone late.

Mantara stipulates that it is in the afternoon, so it is absolutely impossible to advance it, because he is a man who has a strict sense of getting up, and he loves to lie in bed very much, and he is famous in the circle.

Xia Mo laughed and said: Every artist has his own temper. Especially the big names. Bastian cocked up his fingers and praised her for hitting the nail on the head.

Out of the psychology of tourists, at the end of summer, I walked around this old building layer by layer, looking at the exotic scenery in different memories. On the fifth floor, she stopped, because behind the open glass door she saw a shiny catwalk.

She looked left and right. Gritting her teeth and walking in, she knew that her weakness was the step. Changing into the high heels in her bag, she closed her eyes at the end of summer and recalled her walking skills, walking back and forth, concentrating.

Anna was drawn to the sound of high heels. She is a well-known show director in Paris, although she looks very young. Today there will be a group of newcomers who will be systematically trained for the fashion week in two months.

"I don't remember having a yellow-skinned model in this training, who are you?" Anna glanced at the end of the summer's whole body: "Your pace is too bad, although your external conditions are very good, but the top brands will not hire you." ”

At the end of the summer, he was embarrassed to say in broken French: "I'm sorry, I saw the door open so I came in, please forgive me for my rudeness." ”

Anna said in English, "Don't worry, I know you're attracted to this shiny catwalk, too." Sometimes it has an irresistible charm that makes it impossible to extricate yourself. ”

At the end of the summer, she learned to look like a very simple platform. She was used to seeing things from other people's perspectives, but she still couldn't understand the feeling she was talking about. Embarrassed, he said, "Maybe it's because I'm too new, and all the feelings aren't particularly strong." ”

Anna's delicate makeup showed a shallow smile: "It's rare to meet such an honest person." Yes, I don't know how to be fanatical. I'm show director Anna Wolf, you need training. ”

Xia Mo smiled and said, "Anna, I'm a newcomer MOMO, and it's nice to meet you." ”

Anna Wolf raised her eyebrows: "Don't you know me? ”

Late summer sticks out his tongue: "I'm a very new person, I only came to the city three days ago. I'm curious to know, what does Xiudao do? ”

Looking at the end of summer, which naturally sat on the catwalk, and the natural salutation, Anna Wolf instantly flashed. He then sat down slowly and explained, "A show director is a person who acts as a guide for various brands such as clothing, cosmetics, and other brands, mainly teaching models the secrets of styling, beauty and catwalk. ”

Late Summer was silent for a moment, then nodded: "This is a very hard and meaningful profession. You must love what you do and feel a sense of accomplishment. ”

Anna Wolf: "Maybe. ”

There is always some fatigue in an industry for a long time, and at the end of the summer, she thought she was the same, and said slowly: "A perfect fashion show, it seems that it is the models that are inseparable, but in fact it is you." Don't you think so? ”

Look at each other's silence. Late Summer continued: "The lineup of costumes and models in order of appearance; The unified positioning of the model's personality, temperament, charm and fashion style, connotation and taste; the harmonious unity of costumes, models, stage design, music and lighting; The meaning and theme of each piece of fashion need to be carefully designed and planned. ”

At the end of summer, he turned his head and said playfully, "Look, how busy you are." ”

Anna looked at the young girl in front of her and choked up, "Can I hug you?" ”

The end of the summer smiled and said, "Why not?" She took the initiative to reach out and hug the very thin woman, who trembled to relaxed.

A person's unhappiness is actually easy to see, although I don't know what the woman in front of me has experienced, but the end of summer is willing to show her kindness. Maybe it's just because of the slow pace, maybe it's because of the similar dead silence in her eyes.

Anna's heart was inexplicably calmed down after two weeks of mania, and the scar on her wrist seemed less hideous. She let go of the end of summer, her eyes were different from before, and she looked at the catwalk: "Do you know the reason why the brand won't use you?" ”

Summerend nodded and shook her head.

Anna patted her on the shoulder and explained: "No brand will dare to use you even if you meet the physical requirements, because the low level of expertise you expose during the product presentation process is likely to have side effects on the brand." Get up and go again. ”

At the end of the summer, he obediently obeyed her instructions and continued to walk the unqualified steps.

Anna said patiently: "Beauty is innate, but elegant posture comes from the usual training, and your beautiful muscle lines indicate that you are exercising." When stepping, the hips are raised to drive the thighs, the knees are raised (slightly bent to the knees), the calves are driven by the feet, and the inside of the legs is close together. The foot is in a straight line, and when the foot is landed. The toes are slightly outward. Yes, exactly. ”

Anna nodded with satisfaction: "The hind legs then followed forward, and at the same time, the center of gravity of the body also followed in time." Keep your ankles strong and alternate your feet. The movements are coherent and rhythmic. The body swings up and down in coordination, the waist is the link connecting the upper and lower limbs, and its dynamic coordination is the key to the action. The waist swing is unnatural, and it looks too pretentious. Just relax. ”

A few simple actions have made the end of summer sweaty, and it turns out that the simpler the thing, the more careful it must be done.

Anna smiled and said: "Raise your proud chin, don't stop to look at the road, if you can, familiarize yourself with the venue in advance, and calculate the number of steps and the size of your stride." ”

At the end of summer, walking over and over again, gradually the soles of her feet began to numb, and Anna did not stop to talk about her professional knowledge. She is a serious worker, and the end of the summer is also a person who does not admit defeat, and the two tacitly carry out monotonous movements.

Anna felt that today's training was almost over. Gradually, some models gathered around, and she clapped her hands: "That's enough, that's all for today, let's continue tomorrow morning." You still have a long way to go, and tomorrow I'll teach you how to turn around, which is a very important part. ”

Wipe the sweat from her forehead at the end of the summer and smile and say, "Thank you very much for your guidance, but I may not be able to come every day." ”

Anna: "Why? ”

Xia Mo smiled and said, "Because I actually came to attend LINA's interview, and I happened to be downstairs in the afternoon to retake the test." ”

Anna thought for a moment: "LINA? Not very large companies, you can give it a try. Come over when you have time, we'll be here for a few months. ”

At the end of the summer, he hugged her under the surprised eyes of everyone: "Thank you so much." How lucky I am. This is my phone number and address, I will definitely come often. ”

Anna naturally touched her face: "Remember what I told you, and think more at the same time." Although the choreography of the steps is a fixed route, the model cannot blindly cater to the steps. And losing one's own personality, being able to get out of one's own personality style under the constraints of various rules and regulations is a necessary ability for excellent models. ”

Xia Mo nodded seriously and left the training room with a smile.

The senior model who knew her knew that something very bad had happened to Anna recently, and seeing her rare good mood, she stepped forward and asked, "Who is this?" Why haven't you seen it before? ”

Anna was reluctant to say more. Restrained his previously relaxed expression: "A very new newcomer." Everyone is here, and here begins. Third, are you hungover? The last two, if you want to chat, go out. ”

All the models put away their hip-hop expressions and rehearsed seriously, this is the Anna Wolf they know, and the woman with a gentle face who just smiled is definitely their delusion. At the same time, some people also remember that at the end of summer, the person who can be treated gently by this devil woman is definitely not a simple character.

I can't see or hear these late summers, because she's on the first floor helping with the costumes. Taking off her high heels, she was immature like a part-time foreigner at the end of the summer without makeup, and she was stopped by a big man as soon as she got downstairs, and began to move her clothes and chat by the way.

The driver smiled and said, "Hey, are you an adult?" When did you come to France? Look left and right and whisper, "Smuggled?" ”

At the end of summer, he hung the skirt on the hanger and shook his head: "I came by plane, so I came on vacation." ”

The big man said clearly: "It turned out to be a backpacker, then you have to be careful, don't be found by the people from the Labor Bureau, otherwise you will be repatriated." Of course, I won't tell the truth. ”

The end of the summer didn't care, she gave the other party a kind smile back, and looked at the clothes in her hand, some of them were very beautiful, and some of them she really didn't appreciate, so she thought they were the clothes she needed this afternoon.

Dahan is definitely a chatterbox, looking at the end of the summer jokingly said: "The clothes are beautiful, but they seem to us to be a piece of cloth, and we don't know why those women are so crazy to spend all the money on wine." ”

Late Summer: "Maybe it's the same reason you like to drink, yes." ”

The big man laughed and put a burgundy multi-layered skirt in his hand on her shoulder: "You are definitely no worse than those models in this skirt, but your breasts and buttocks are a little smaller." ”

At the end of the summer, I felt three pieces of sweat dripping from my forehead, and smiled and said thank you.

The big man said, "You don't believe my vision? I've been working in this company's warehouse for 15 years and I've seen so many models and fashion, and I can't go wrong. This skirt and this leather jacket are absolutely conflicting, and the perfect fashion blockbuster is born. ”

At the end of summer, he looked at the two items in his hand seriously, which were completely out of tune, but they made her feel harmonious, maybe he was right.

Dahan suddenly asked, "How did you come here?" I'll send you back in a moment. ”

Xia Mo shook his head: "I'm the model who came to the interview today, thank you." ”

Dahan said in surprise: "Are you kidding? ”

At the end of the summer, he asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" I'll see them all go in, and I'll see you later. ”

Dahan looked at the clothes in his hand, and then looked at the end of summer running to the studio, smiled and hung the clothes in his hand into the seasonal clothes, and picked many similar colors and put them in. As for the reason for this, he himself does not know, maybe it is because of the good weather today. (To be continued.) )
