Chapter Six Hundred and Sixty-Eight the Show Begins
Chapter 668
With all the attention, the time finally came to November 2. ⊙,
The Victoria's Secret show will open at 7 o'clock in the evening, and if all goes well, it will end at 8:30. The subsequent after-party will be arranged at the Gramercy Hotel not far from the Arsenal.
From this early morning, media reporters stationed in New York began to gather near the Armory Factory on Lexington Avenue. Just after noon, the roads within a few hundred meters of the Armory Factory were already crowded with media from all sides. After Firefly communicated with the New York Municipal Transportation Department, in the early morning of November 2, the road between the two blocks around the Arsenal was blocked. Fortunately, the Arsenal is located at the southern end of Lexington Avenue, not a busy area of New York traffic. The road blockade would not have serious consequences for nearby public transport, so the city's transport department readily granted Firefly's request.
The entire project team had already entered the arsenal in the early morning of November 2 for the final intensive preparations. Under strict security, even the invited media would only be allowed to enter after the arrival time. Most uninvited reporters waited patiently outside the arsenal, hoping to get some useful information.
Although the guests came in at six o'clock in the evening, there was never a shortage of people in the world who expected attention for all purposes. The place where hundreds of media people gather is undoubtedly the key area for these people. Some reporters who had occupied a good shooting position since the early morning and started squatting outside the arsenal took pictures of the project team entering the field. They thought they would not get useful news until the afternoon, but they obviously underestimated this time. The power of fashion events and the determination of some to crave fame.
Throughout the day, on the streets near the Arsenal, there were all kinds of people trying to 'get famous'. Of course, most of them were models. After all, there were only 40 lucky people in the Victoria's Secret show. New York is a fashion capital. , The beautiful dream-chasing girls gathered here are incomparable, feeling the influence of the Victoria's Secret show. These models, who missed the Victoria's Secret runway, took a different approach.
Some slightly powerful celebrity models, often with a small team, take various photos on the streets near the arsenal, so as to publish news such as "XXX Attends the Victoria's Secret Show" in the newspaper the next day . Even if they didn't even have the chance to step into the arsenal from beginning to end, no one would hold them accountable for the little tricks that acquiesced to fame in this circle.
Inexperienced young models can only dress up in their own costumes, or keep walking up and down the street, or pretend to wait for their friends to stand under the street lights for hours. Doing so can also harvest countless flashes of light. Although most of the photos will be discarded by these reporters, as long as a few of them appear in newspapers and magazines, it is an opportunity for these girls. With the attention of some fashion tycoons, they can reach the sky in one step. This kind of thing is not without precedent. Cindy Crawford attracted the attention of the fashion industry by relying on a few street shots accidentally shot by tabloid reporters.
So step by step to get to today's position.
In the face of these famous little models, the reporters gathered near the arsenal often maintained a high-profile gesture of familiarity, occasionally appearing as a gift or slightly pressing the shutter a few times. But as the sun draws near. Watching with admiration that some of their colleagues were arranged to enter the arsenal in advance, all the media people were eagerly waiting for the arrival of six o'clock. These people are very clear that in Eric's current identity, he personally produced the fashion show, even if the invitation to the federal president is issued, it is estimated that the Clintons will not necessarily refuse. Although the Victoria's Secret project team has not announced any guest list, the lineup of guests who will attend the Victoria's Secret show today is definitely very strong.
However, just after the hour hand reached 5:40, an arrogant white extended courtesy car appeared at the end of the red carpet outside the arsenal. Westerners' concept of time was almost ingrained. This somewhat abrupt move surprised everyone, but the flash came on frantically.
After the concierge driver got out of the car, he opened the door respectfully, and the baby-faced girl in a pink short trench coat jumped out of the car impatiently.
"It's so lively." Xiao Nizi said to herself with a smile, and then waved to the nearest group of reporters: "Hi, everyone."
Seeing the appearance of Drew, who has an unusually close relationship with Eric, the reporter group boiled up, and when they heard the voice of Xiao Nizi's greeting, there was a random response.
Someone asked loudly: "Miss Barrymore. Are you here to cheer on Mr Williams?"
The little girl smiled and nodded: "Yes."
In the noisy voice, a very bold reporter raised his voice and asked: "Miss Barrymore, what do you think of the scandal between Mr. Williams and Heidi Klum?"
Xiao Nizi's smile didn't change: "Those things you wrote are very funny, so I don't have any opinions. It's good for everyone to be happy."
This slightly sarcastic remark made some reporters unable to hang their faces, and some people noticed that Xiao Nizi did not seem to be in a hurry to move forward at the end of the red carpet. She was about to ask in doubt when the door of the courtesy car opened again. gave them the answer.
The back door of the courtesy car opened, and two blond Russian girls with the same stature and appearance stepped out from the car. The twins wore the same dark tunic and black boots, and there was an almost soldier-like heroism beneath their clean appearance.
Although Xiao Nizi still loves to play and play in recent years, she has barely appeared in the media in a low-key manner. She suddenly appeared in front of the reporter group with the Russian twins, causing a slight uproar.
"Miss Barrymore, who are these two beautiful ladies, and are they also models?"
Little Nizi casually put her little hands in her pockets, walked leisurely on the red carpet towards the gate of the arsenal, and replied, "They are Natasha, not models, but my bodyguards."
Although they noticed the slightly cold aura emanating from the Russian twins, the two identical delicate faces made it difficult for them to believe the twins' professions: "Miss Barrymore, you must be joking, or rather, they Will you play the profession of bodyguard in a Firefly Group movie?"
"Hehe, your idea is very interesting, I will let them try it when I have a chance."
Having said that, Xiao Nizi walked to the gate of the arsenal with the twins, and the tall guard waited for Drew to approach without asking Xiao Nizi to show the invitation letter. Very dog-legged, he took the initiative to pull the anti-collision chain, and respectfully put Xiao Nizi and the others in. This action immediately caused some people's dissatisfaction.
A reporter asked in an inquiring tone: "Hey, big man. Doesn't Drew Barrymore need an invitation letter?"
However, the person who asked the question only got a big rolled eye.
Xiao Nizi walked into the outer hall of the arsenal, picked up a water pen and drew a few strokes in front of the wall for taking pictures, and flashed away under the surprised eyes of some special reporters who were not ready to take pictures. Walking in the corridor leading to the backstage, Xiao Nizi looked at the surrounding arrangements with interest. Suddenly asked the twins behind him: "Natasha, how did it feel to be noticed just now?"
The twins looked at each other, and one of them said, "Boss, it feels... awkward."
"Hehe, that's right, as long as you don't like this feeling, otherwise you will be very distressed."
The twins nodded at the same time and followed Drew quietly, they both knew why Drew said that, even though they liked it. This seemingly harmless human and animal will not give them too many opportunities to feel this feeling, their destiny is already doomed.
Thinking of this, the figure of the young man he was about to see appeared in the twins' hearts at the same time. He liked to let them call him master. Although they knew the other implied meanings, they couldn't bear much resistance. but only in awe. Because they know that although the young man is young, he is a very, very powerful person. He has even more money than the Russian Federation treasury after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Although this wealth has nothing to do with them. It gave them an unprecedented sense of security.
After Xiao Nizi appeared, the time soon came to six o'clock, and the courtesy cars began to park outside the not too long red carpet one by one, and the group of reporters outside the red carpet began to press the shutter frantically. New York's political and business celebrities, fashion tycoons, executives of media companies, and Hollywood superstars have seldom gathered together in the focus of the reporters. Although Eric didn't have any intention of wanting these guests to steal the limelight from Victoria's Secret Angels, he did not refuse these people to come to join us. It is undeniable that the influence brought by the appearance of these big figures can definitely make the media hotly discuss for a while, so that the topic of the Victoria's Secret show can be maintained all the way to the official broadcast period in December.
Time passed by and the special guests were able to walk the red carpet. However, most of the ordinary guests can only enter the arsenal from other channels, otherwise the guests of a thousand people will not be able to enter the venue within an hour.
As it approached seven o'clock, I silently listened to the noise that could still be heard from the outside world. Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of the American version of "Vogue", who was sitting in the front row on the left side of the runway, whispered to the "Vogue" beside her. Jane Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone magazine, was chatting, but she was looking at the luxurious lineup of guests around and the professional and gorgeous layout of the venue, and she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Since becoming the editor-in-chief of "Vogue" magazine, in recent years, no matter it is a big show of any fashion brand, as long as she appears, she will definitely be the most watched big person in the field. Before those big shows, the main person in charge and the designer will take the initiative. Come out and say hi to her. But today, for the first time, Anna Wintour felt that 'long absence' feeling of being left out. However, she did not feel angry or depressed, because many people around her were far above her in terms of fame and status. Not to mention the tycoons of other industries, not far from her, sits Shi Yi Newhouse, the big boss of the Condé Nast Group, the parent company of Vogue magazine. In the past, it was Anna Wintour who was greeted by others. Go over and chat with each other.
The time finally came to seven o'clock. With a few soft clicks, the lights in the venue changed rapidly, the guest seats became dim, and the T stage, which was already covered with silver sequins, became brighter. Everyone All eyes turned to the giant arch.
In front of the rigid rear-projection giant screen behind the arch, special rock instruments have been placed. Anna Wintour couldn't help but think of some rumors in her heart, and she had some doubts and expectations in her heart. It would not be Eric Williams Come on stage for yourself.
However, she quickly threw out the idea. Eric himself directed a fashion show and said that it would be too out of line to perform in person in his current capacity. Anna Wintour thought, and whispered to Jane Winner, the founder of "Rolling Stone" beside her: "Jane, did you hear that those bands will be on stage this time?"
Jane Wenner shook her head: "I don't know, some of the news we got is that the Firefly Group will launch some of its own singers, I heard that Jeffrey Katzenberg reorganized all the music of the Firefly subsidiary some time ago. Department, created Firefly Records. However, from the scandal in the front-end time, everyone knows that all the BGM of this big show was written by Eric Williams himself. New-" is simply amazing, I guess this song will never disappoint, I'm really looking forward to it."
Anna Wintour nodded, but she was not very interested in music, but was more looking forward to what kind of show Eric would show this time.
After the lights came on, Eric came out quickly, made a brief speech in person, and then withdrew in applause.
The lights in the venue changed again, and the bright red light dyed the entire runway red, and the entire venue seemed to be dyed a bright red.
Da Da Da drum sounded, and the British honor guard stepped out in the red light and began to perform the pre-show.
Some people in the arena still maintain a strong curiosity, while others are already a little disinterested. What is this?
However, the figure that sounded later quickly answered their doubts. When the drum beats left the runway more and more quickly, the announcer said the first theme of the Victoria's Secret show: the British invasion.
Several unfamiliar rock youths stepped onto the stage, and bursting music suddenly sounded. (To be continued.) SJGSF0916 Baidu search "" to see the latest and most complete novels!
