Chapter 291: America's Top Small Group
ended the GQ shoot, exchanged Instagram with the photographer, and then politely declined the invitation to dinner.
Lin Qingyuan and his entourage followed the short-term guide hired temporarily, and came to a nearby western restaurant with a good reputation, and while filling their stomachs, they also chatted about the specific work arrangements for the next two days.
"You should also know the model who will shoot the Bazaar cover with you tomorrow, Hailey Bieber, a powerful new generation supermodel, and also the fiancée of Justin Bieber, of course, the latter may be more famous." Yan Jun chewed the steak in his mouth.
"That's true." Lin Qingyuan used a fork to put her cut steak on the assistant's plate, she usually eats less Western food, so she is not used to this pure American Western food model, "After all, they all follow Bieber's surname, which is difficult not to remind people of her identity." ”
"I grew up listening to Bieber's songs!" The little assistant said with a smile.
"People are 94 years old, isn't it a few years older than you..."Lin Qingyuan lowered his head and continued to cut the steak, several people in his team were not very good at using knives and forks, and he happened to be free now and was not very hungry, so he simply took the initiative to take on the task of helping them cut meat.
"But he debuted early!" The little assistant smiled proudly, eating the steak cut by the boss himself, and she felt happy in her heart.
"That's why some people say that he is still a teenager after returning from a thousand sails." Lin Qingyuan smiled: "People did so many wrong things when they were young, but one day they woke up in time to find that they were only 24 or 25 years old, and they still had a good youth, which is really shocking." ”
"But he can't hit you."
Lin Qingyuan raised his eyebrows noncommittally.
Although limited by the relatively closed output channels of domestic entertainment, Chinese artists who have entered the era of traffic basically do not have much popularity overseas.
But Lin Qingyuan is already expanding his influence as much as possible through his own efforts.
And the fashion industry coffee position is the only magic weapon that he can use in Europe and the United States at this stage.
Therefore, simply comparing the achievements made in the field of fashion, Lin Qingyuan has the confidence and confidence to fight with everyone in the world.
"By the way, you also have to pay attention, Bieber may go to the scene for tomorrow's shooting, so try not to clash with him as much as possible, you know, we don't have the confidence to fight hard with the local top in the United States at present." Yan Jun reminded.
"Well, I know, there's no reason for me to have a conflict with him." Lin Qingyuan nodded in understanding.
He earned the first pot of gold in his acting career by tearing up with his great benefactor, so he naturally knows very well when to tear up with others and when not to tear up.
At least when you are not on your own footing, you should try not to conflict with others.
Of course, except for the situation of less flowers, even if it is not torn apart, other netizens and viewers will spontaneously scold the pigs, so Lin Qingyuan didn't hurry up to take advantage of this hot trend, it would be a real pity.
"Then the day after tomorrow is the Vogue shoot, partner Kendall Jenner, so you'd better go to bed early these days to recuperate and keep your face as good as possible to meet the cover shoot of these three magazines."
Vogue and GQ are published in December, and Bazaar is published in January.
"Speaking of which, I'm a little sleepy now, I feel like the jet lag hasn't come over yet, and I took a whole day of covers today..."Lin Qingyuan covered his mouth and yawned.
"Then go to bed early later, don't call your female friends one by one."
"Uh..."Lin Qingyuan was very embarrassed.
............
On the second day of the trip, it was still 10 o'clock in the morning, and Lin Qingyuan arrived at the shooting site arranged by Harper's Bazaar on time.
After a period of indispensable socialization, Lin Qingyuan was immediately taken into the dressing room by the photographer's assistant to start the styling preparations before today's official shooting.
About an hour later, the first look was complete.
Lin Qingyuan, who finished putting on makeup, came out of the dressing room and also saw today's partner model, Hailey Bieber.
A tall woman who is one meter tall and in her early sevens, with a good figure but a little bit of a girl's male appearance.
"Nice to meet you, Lin!" The enthusiasm she displayed was relatively subdued.
Out of politeness, the two shook hands shallowly.
"Hey, Hayley, you have a lot of personality and attitude in this look today, I love it."
This may be because his fiancé, Justin Bieber, was standing by and watching the two of them.
"Hey, Lin, I'm Justin, Justin Bieber, you can call me **." Bieber also walked up with a smile at this time and took the initiative to say hello to Lin Qingyuan.
The two came to the most basic shoulder bump salute.
"Of course I know you, Justin, and even my assistant says she grew up listening to your songs."
"Really?" Justin smiled, "If she's still here, call her over, I want to meet the fans who grew up listening to my songs." ”
Lin Qingyuan suddenly found that the current Justin Bieber was indeed different from the little Canadian king who often appeared in negative news before.
If the money and fame brought to him by becoming famous at a young age brought him into a bottomless abyss.
So for the current Bieber, he has played enough over the years, so it's time to return to a normal life, live a stable life with his fiancée, and the whole person is very Buddha.
"That might have to wait a while, because she's probably out there buying me coffee right now."
"You like coffee, too?" Bieber asked.
"I can't stop working." Lin Qingyuan likes to drink coffee very much, and there is nothing to hide about this.
"It seems that we have one more hobby, what is your ins account?"
“7。”
Saying this ID of unknown meaning, Lin Qingyuan inevitably felt some shame.
"Okay, do you have time tonight? After the day's shooting, we might be able to have a meal together. ”
Bieber sent out the invitation.
He didn't seem to be polite and polite, but really wanted to make Lin Qingyuan a friend.
Of course, Lin Qingyuan is the same.
He knows that if this trip to the United States can catch up with Bieber after the reform, his popularity in the United States and even the Western world will be improved to a certain extent.
This can undoubtedly greatly reduce the process of his original accumulation of popularity in the European and American markets.
The shortcut is right in front of you, so why not take it?
Of course, Bieber also needs Lin Qingyuan's help.
But it's not to help him: because of the bad things he committed when he was young, he has basically no way out in the fashion industry now, and those old luxury brands don't want to cooperate with artists with well-known black history.
So what Bieber really wants from Lin Qingyuan is actually a fashion resource that can help his fiancée Hailey get further development in the fashion industry.
He knows very well how high Lin Qingyuan's coffee position is in the mainstream European fashion industry, and this is exactly the referral that Hailey's career development needs.
"He's always so welcoming." Hayley shrugged.
"I don't think I should have any reason to decline the invitation to dinner with you." Lin Qingyuan also smiled.
Everything happened so naturally.
This is undoubtedly a win-win outcome for the befriend.
............
At about half past six in the evening, the filming of the American edition of Harper's Bazaar's annual magazine was completed.
Bieber first contacted his friends and called them out to get together together, and then drove his fiancée and Lin Qingyuan to the restaurant that had been booked.
got out of the car, and sure enough, there were a lot of paparazzi on the streets and alleys, most of them were for Bieber, but there were not a few paparazzi for Lin Qing.
They are all curious about what Lin Qingyuan, a Chinese star who has just shocked the world with his top appearance and coffee position in the European fashion industry, came to the Mi Club to do something.
And because of the promotion of various channels, such as the online promotion of local fans, the hot search of the list such as the world trend, and the news releases issued by Universal and IMG...
Everything made Lin Qingyuan gain a batch of fresh traffic in the United States at a very fast speed.
The number of fans has gradually increased.
Of course, it mainly depends on the face.
After all, the vast majority of people are very superficial, so in a country where film and television works cannot be exported, appearance is the most effective way for Lin Qingyuan to expand his popularity.
"Hey, Lin, I'm Ariana Grande, you can call me Ellie." A little girl just got out of the car for a while, and she ran over enthusiastically to greet Lin Qingyuan beside Bieber.
It's obviously a white man's facial features, but her skin is dark, and she feels like she has deliberately done tanning.
Of course, the people are still quite beautiful.
"Hello Ellie, I'm Lin Qingyuan."
Lin Qingyuan shook hands with her with a smile, in fact, his little assistant happened to be a fan of Sister A, but this morning he just said that he grew up listening to Bieber, and then immediately said that she likes Sister A, which is really not suitable...
"Justin just called me and said that a very, very hot, sexy guy will come over at tonight's party." Sister A looked at Lin Qingyuan while laughing, "Now that it seems like this, what he said is not an exaggeration. ”
"Thank you, I love your styling and music too." Fortunately, Lin Qingyuan has a certain understanding of her, so he said it decently: "The new song "THA" released this year is very good! ”
"Really? Thank you, it's 100% my pleasure! "Sister A is very outgoing and enthusiastic.
"Let's go in first, people are gradually surrounding." Bieber noticed the increase in the flow of people around him, and interrupted the conversation between the two with his mouth, reminding.
"Maybe tonight's headlines are us."
"Who's going to get the headlines?" Sister A asked.
"Hell!"
"I'm not famous enough here." Lin Qingyuan shook his head with a smile.
"But Universal and IMG behind you will definitely not sit idly by." Bieber saw it very clearly and thoroughly.
Universal and IMG are both big companies, so as long as they want to push Lin Qingyuan, then Lin Qingyuan will inevitably be pushed out, of course, they can only guarantee the lower limit, and the upper limit has to be tried by the artists themselves.
"You signed Universal too?" Sister A was surprised because her record contract was signed to Universal.
"It's just a nominal contract, because I'm not a professional singer." Lin Qingyuan told the truth.
"It's very cool, you can see that you must be sincere with your friends." Bieber likes Lin Qingyuan's character very much.
There are not so many branches, twists and turns, just say something directly.
"In fact, Lin also signed with IMG, the same agency where Gisele Bundchen works."
Usually doesn't talk a lot, and Hailey, who feels a little socially phobic, finally spoke.
"Gisele Bundchen? Lin, you walked through the show in the finale, I know, but when did you add a model? ”
"It's just the same as Universal."
"There are so many companies and consortia behind you..."Sister A is a little envious, if there are so many companies belonging to different camps to support her, then she and other little may be a little more confident when they smash and tear up.
"But the degree of freedom will be a little lower." Lin Qingyuan's degree of freedom is actually very high, but it still can't be compared with this group of American artists, after all, the cultural differences are here...
They seek freedom, we seek order.
"Come on, having resources and making money is the most important thing, and freedom is something that needs to be considered after you retire." Bieber flattened his mouth and shook his head.
When he was young, he was too free to let himself go, and he made a lot of bad things.
That's why he knew that the so-called freedom pursued by the people of the United States was actually just a trick by politicians to fool the people.
