Chapter 253: The Magic Bible

"I'm sorry, sir, the event has already begun, and you can't go in now."

Because of an accident on the way, Duke came to the show at the Palace of Westminster a little late, and was habitually stopped by the Victoria's Secret staff guarding outside, but the other party immediately saw who he was, and changed his words and said, "Director Rosenberg, can you please go in through the corridor on the left side of the show?" ”

None of the people who could stay outside the show as reception staff were stupid, and they recognized it as one of the major shareholders of their own company and let them go immediately.

Duke nodded, and instead of going straight through the main entrance, he walked through the hallway outside Guò towards the side door.

"Tina, remember to inform Nancy when you get back." He turned to Tina? Fei said, "Don't work with that car rental company in the future." ”

The car he rented broke down on the road.

"I've written it down."

Who is your boss, Tina? Fei still knows better, "I'll go back and find a suitable car dealership." ”

"And ......" Duke remembered thinking about it on the road, but forgot to mention it because the car broke down, "Sue Nancy and Pani and let them inform Catherine?" Zeta? Jones and Vivian? Lee, as far as Kuài moved out of Malibu. ”

This kind of work is best for agents to do, can he see Zeta? Jones has always had unrealistic ideas, but Nancy's standard utilitarian won't give her a chance to make it happen.

Walk to the side door, Tina? Fei reminded, "When we came to London, Nancy and Pani were already processing, and the time for the agreement was coming soon, and it should be completed before we go back." ”

"It's for the best." Duke nodded.

The staff on this side of the side door opens the door, Duke and Tina? Fei followed the very edge of the passage and walked lightly to the stretching table. After a little look, he found where Lady Muria was, and hurried over to sit down in the two adjacent seats beside her.

"Mommy......" Duke greeted his mother.

Lady Leah nodded, "You're late. ”

"There's something wrong with the car on the road."

Seeing his mother looking at him with concern, Duke hurriedly whispered. "It's just an engine failure."

Mrs. Leah's expression immediately relaxed, and she greeted Tina on the other side? Fei nodded, and his eyes turned to the stage again.

Duke's eyes crossed over his mother and fell on the person sitting next to her, was that Scarlett? Johnson, the former blonde girl's face has basically disappeared, as if she didn't see him, just looking down at a book, obviously no interest in the once curious supermodels.

Shook his head. Duke's attention also turned to the runway, and the Victoria's Secret Angels' catwalk was underway.

After several years of exploration and practice, Victoria's Secret's annual show has become more and more extravagant, and there are more and more faces that used to be often seen on the Internet.

After only ten minutes of watching, Duke spotted two somewhat familiar faces from the newly added models, if he had not guessed wrong. Should it be Adriana? Lima and Giselle? Ministers, but from their attire. It can be seen that it is only a peripheral model of Victoria's Secret, and it has not been officially signed yet.

In recent years, with the continuous momentum, the reputation of Victoria's Secret Angel has gradually appeared, and it has even become synonymous with supermodels, and can sign a contract to become an official angel. Not only does it mean overnight success, but it also has a huge salary of millions of dollars every year.

In particular, the wings representing the angel are the dreams of some models, and now the Victoria's Secret angels, the wings have become a status symbol.

In Victoria's Secret, wings are not only for aesthetic considerations. Or is it a symbol of the status of the model, in Victoria's Secret's shows in recent years, not every model has wings, only a few who have wings, such as Heidi, who has gradually become the head brand of Victoria's Secret angels? Krum, they are the contracted models of Victoria's Secret, which is the real so-called angel.

Most of the models have cooperated with the company before signing the angel contract with Victoria's Secret, but it is only similar to the nature of temporary workers, and the status and income of angels are not the same.

Every Victoria's Secret Angel Show is indispensable for the performance of heavyweight guests, and after a few years, inviting popular singers to sing on Victoria's Secret runway has gradually formed a routine.

This annual show was held in London, and the invitation was naturally the most popular singer in the UK, and at this stage in 1997, who was the most popular singer in the UK? A combination, of course.

So five gaudy little girls, wearing Victoria's Secret pink pajamas, walked on stage and sang their famous song "wannabe".

Although the group is famous, there is only one Duke can know, and frankly, Victoria? Adams' status among the five is relatively low, which is reflected in the number of lyrics sung and the position she is in when she performs, she sings very few lyrics solo, and in general, she is in fourth or fifth place, and rarely runs to the front.

Always standing in front is a black man and a blonde Persian cat in the lead singer, but just like "Chicago" and "Star Trek", who is the smartest of these five people? I'm afraid that in a few years, people all over the world will know.

In fact, in the last few years, who remembers the names of the other members? It has simply become synonymous with a person.

After the torture of the long filming of "Chicago", how much did Duke get from Lily? Fred learned something from him, although the singing and dancing aspects were still limited, but they had improved a little, and this was only appreciated from the perspective of a bystander.

Compared with Madonna and Maria, which are becoming popular in North America? Kelly, Whitney? Houston and Shania? Tang En and other female singers, the style is simply summarized as gaudy, whether in terms of style, singing, and music, there is no way to talk about elegance and chic.

The five girls look average, dance averagely, the singing level is not very high, the members compare, there are good and bad, but the singing is not much better, if the only strength, is that their performance is full of passion and youthful vitality, they also take an extremely people-friendly route, and they sing the simplest pop songs similar to the future brainwashing divine comedy, which may be one of the reasons why they quickly became popular, but fell at the same speed.

After "wannabe". I sang "who.do.youare" again, and I can say that I worked very hard.

In fact, if you think about it a little, you can understand the reason why they work hard, this is a program broadcast live to the whole United States through GuòABC TV, and it is obvious that they want to enter the North American music market.

Compared with the almost completely closed TV and movie program market, pop music can be said to be relatively open to foreign music.

Don't know David? Is Beckham coming? Duke suddenly popped into this boring thought. The annual Victoria's Secret show will invite a large number of celebrities and stars to participate, if I remember correctly, David? Beckham should be famous, after all, he will be punished for the World Cup next year.

This pair of golden boys and girls can be described as a typical example of male and female juniors stepping in at the same time.

Shaking his head, Duke threw away these boring thoughts, he himself was no better, in the circle of entertainment, these were all too normal.

After the performance. The catwalk entered a short break, and the guests could also use it to solve some personal problems, Scarlett on the other side of Lady Leah? Johnson then tucked the book in his hand into his satchel and stood up.

"Hi, Duke." She greeted her very politely.

"My dear...... Duke smiled, "I didn't expect you to see me now." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm a little absorbed in reading." She barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said to Lady Leah. "Godmother, I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'll go with you." Tina? Fei also stood up.

Two women, one older and one small, walked outside. Duke asked a little strangely, "Mom, what's going on?" ”

Does Lady Leah know that Duke is asking about Scarlett? Johnson sighed and said, "Johnson and his wife are about to divorce, and the two sides have turned against each other. Scarlett called me to cry a few times over the property, and I took her out, and this situation hurt a child of her age the most, and I could feel it. Her personality seems to have changed a little. ”

Outsiders can't interfere in other people's family affairs, and Duke just persuaded his mother a few words, and then said no more.

Indeed, the child caught in the middle is the most hurt by the broken family, not everyone will have such a peculiar experience as him, and will not be affected by the family split at all, and children in their early teens are often hurt very deeply.

When you are younger, you are not very sensible, and you won't feel it too deeply; As you get older, you will be a little more mature and more tolerant.

"Duke ......"

Probably thinking of the past, Lady Leah suddenly asked in a low voice, "What did you think in the first place?" ”

"Please, Mom, I was just a little kid who didn't know anything."

Duke can't say that he was mature enough at that time, right? I had to say, "I was only three years old at the time, what can I think?" When I grew up to be sensible, I felt lucky enough to have the best mom in the world. ”

Lady Leah didn't say anything, but a smile hung on her lips.

Tina? Faye and Scarlett? Not long after Johnson came back, the catwalk began again, and those enthusiastic angel models continued to sit and interact with the audience, squeezing out winks and throwing kisses, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to **.

Finally, the sky-high lingerie made of diamonds, rubies and white gold, now Victoria's Secret's number one angel Heidi? Krum wore them to the finale, and as in previous editions, the $3.5 million lingerie was bought by a super-rich man for $5 million before the catwalk was over.

The show dispersed, and then there was a grand party, and when he went to the hotel, Duke got into his mother's RV, and after the car started, Scarlett sat across from him? Johnson was still holding a book and reading, unusually focused.

"Hey, little one." Duke couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you looking at, so fascinating." ”

Scarlett didn't need to lift her head, "I just bought it when I came to London, my magic Bible, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." (To be continued......)
