Chapter Six Hundred and Sixty-Ninth See the Prosperity
The deafening surround sound also resounded through the backstage of the entire arsenal. The punk-filled rock music was exciting, but also brought a strong sense of tension to all the Victoria's Secret angels in the waiting room. The big show, they will usher in another world in their careers, but if anything goes wrong, it may also bring a devastating blow to their careers. ;
Diane Kruger, who was the starting Victoria's Secret Angel, even felt a little numb in her hands and feet. She pursed her thin pink lips, and quickly drew a cross in front of her, then took a deep breath and let her as much as possible Relax yourself.
"-!"
Under the order of the executive director in the headset, the staff waiting beside Diane Kruger gently pushed the girl out of the field, and quickly turned their attention to the next Victoria's Secret Angel.
After many days of rigorous rehearsal, Diane Kruger, who was slightly dizzy, walked to the stage almost instinctively, with a charming smile on her delicate makeup face that she had practiced secretly many times. Under the warm atmosphere, with her appearance, there was a burst of applause and cheers from the audience, almost without any signal.
After a short pause at the exit, Diane Kruger walked towards the radiant silver runway with a strong personal style that had been trained by Eric the Devil.
Diane Kruger is the least famous of the five spokespersons announced by the Victoria's Secret brand, or not at all before that. Therefore, since the announcement of the list, the industry has always maintained a very strong interest in this 18-year-old girl with a petite and slightly green face.
Everyone is almost certain that this suddenly rising girl has some kind of relationship with Eric, but at this time, many people present still did not expect that Eric would let this unknown girl walk away. Most people felt that The opening supermodel of the Victoria's Secret show will definitely only be created between the three top supermodels Christie Turrington, Linda Evangelinsta and Cindy Crawford.
When they saw Diane Kruger appearing on stage for the first time, many people almost had an idea in their hearts, this is really too much!
Some invited media people have almost begun to ponder how to subtly satirize this matter. Diane Kruger's stair step with a very obvious personal style amazes many people. This is a confident and domineering, steady but slightly enchanting stair step style, which is almost unforgettable. This is simply incredible. Only people in the fashion world know how rare a model with a unique personal style is. Just like Naomi Campbell, if it weren't for the kind of queen-like steps that make too many designers unable to stop, she would have been banned by the entire fashion industry for her bad character.
Many fashion tycoons who are invited to come here even secretly wonder, a girl with such an excellent stature,
If he appeared on the catwalk before, he should have already made his mark, and there is no reason why it has been unearthed by Eric Williams until now. Although doubtful, many people have begun to secretly make up their minds to invite Diane Kruger to cooperate.
Some people noticed Diane Kruger's stunning steps. There are also many people who pay attention to Diane Kruger's angel outfit. The British military red jacket, black wings, white gloves, and simple style make the girl look playful and playful, especially The somewhat playful military salute when he walked to the end of the runway made most of the people in the venue cheer again.
Of course, some people admired it, some cheered, and some people expressed disdain. Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of "Fashion" sitting in the front row of the show, heard a bit of a woman behind her comment: "So this is Eric. Williams has been hyping the angel costume for months, does he really think that the one with wings is an angel?"
Anna Wintour remembered that the female voice should come from the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine. The frivolous evaluation of the woman just smiled coldly.
The fundamental purpose of any fashion show is actually only one, and that is to advertise.
Many high-street fashion shows that make most people look cloudy and foggy are not aimed at ordinary people at all. It is the fashion media, shopping mall buyers and other groups who are knowledgeable, and even most of the superstars and celebrities who are invited to join in are just pretending, but they don't understand at all. Those over-the-top looks are just a brand's design concept for the next season.
Anna Wintour, who is accustomed to that kind of high street fashion show, just saw Diane Kruger's angel outfit, and she actually felt a moment of discomfort in her heart. This angel outfit seems to be too down-to-earth. .
However, Anna Wintour quickly reacted that the real audience for the Victoria's Secret show was ordinary TV viewers. If Eric Williams dares to design a series of exaggerated looks for the Victoria's Secret Angels like those traditional fashion conferences, it will definitely cause a scolding from the general audience when it is broadcast in the future. At the moment, this kind of angel dress design perfectly shows the body of the Victoria's Secret Angel surname and is very pleasing to the eye. It's the most friendly style.
Jane Wenner, founder of Rolling Stone magazine, sitting next to Anna Wintour, when most of the attention was drawn to gorgeous angel outfits and Victoria's Secret Angels with a charming surname But the attention was firmly locked by several rock youths on stage.
The arrogant punk rock style of "my---what---in-the-dark" re-infected Jane Wenner, who had been silent for many years in her love for music. He seems to have thought many years ago that it was out of his ardent love for the world-renowned rock band The Beatles. He and a group of mates started what is now Rolling Stone magazine in the attic of a dilapidated printing house. More than 20 years later, Rolling Stone magazine is no longer a fan magazine like a booklet. It has developed into a comprehensive media magazine covering many fields such as film, television and music. The hot-blooded youth became a rich publisher.
When the closing Cindy Crawford stepped into the backstage and the music finally fell, Jane Wenner, who was still unfinished, found that she had stood up unknowingly. After realizing this, Jane Wenner looked around in embarrassment. all around. However, he soon found that many people around him involuntarily stood up and applauded enthusiastically.
After the first topic is over. The arch at the exit dimmed, and some figures began to nervously arrange various props. Soothing soft music played in the venue.
However, no matter which aspect of the show was focused on, everyone on the court had strong expectations for the next theme.
In this expectation, the two themes of 'secretly enchanting' and 'pink girl' which were successively launched again brought a rich visual and auditory feast to the audience. In order to brush the style of the high street fashion show, this is the real enjoyment.
At the same time, most people also noticed that three new songs with completely different styles were released in a row in the three themes. After the first punk rock, the "secretly enchanting" background music "fu" even caused screams from the young women present. When some people still felt that the song seemed too rebellious, the third The release of the first "ger" immediately made up for the 'regret', and the two songs simply echoed each other. The first one depicts a strong accusation of a girl with a strong personality towards an unfaithful boyfriend, and the second one is almost the same girl. In telling the fact that breaking up not only failed to hit her, but made her stronger.
After two consecutive topics, Anna Wintour couldn't help but said to Jane Wenner beside her: "If it wasn't for Eric Williams' too much tidbits, maybe he was really a feminist. Not sure."
Jane Wenner just smiled slightly. Although the following two songs are still amazing, Jane Wenner is still looking forward to the rock band just now being able to come on stage again.
So, in this expectation. The rock band just now took the stage again.
However, when the majestic prelude music of "the-ix" sounded, some people in the venue who were more familiar with symphony could not help but open their mouths in surprise.
Because they all heard that the accompaniment of this rock adopts the rhythm of many well-known former Soviet Union composer Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony, and they may have heard of Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony in C major. There are not many people who compose it, but this symphony has another name, "Leningrad Symphony". This magnificent symphony was produced during the tragic defense of Leningrad in World War II. It's a war symphony.
Music knows no borders, not to mention that the once mighty Soviet Union has now been wiped out. Therefore, no one cared that Eric used the "Leningrad Symphony" for the soundtrack, and the audience in the venue became more frenzied in the shocking music.
After the topic is over. Jane Wenner, who sat down with the crowd, couldn't help but sigh: "Eric Williams is a fucking genius."
Anna Wintour didn't mind Jane Winner's gaffe, and said with a smile: "Have you started to conceive a special report for this big show now?"
Jane Wenner nodded immediately. Not only that, he even planned to write this special report himself, but Jane Wenner was stunned immediately after the idea.
Anna Wintour asked, "Jane, what's the matter?"
Jane Wenner shook her head and said, "Anna, we don't seem to know anything about these singers and the names of the new songs. In this case, how can we write the topic."
Anna Wintour took a moment, realized something, and said, "I see."
"What?" Jane Wenner asked impatiently.
Anna Wintour said: "The purpose of this Victoria's Secret show is still to promote the Victoria's Secret brand, although these songs are all written by Eric Williams himself, but he certainly does not want the media to be too much. Focus on these new songs."
Jane Wenner also showed a regretful look: "So, we don't know the names of these bands, singers and songs, so it's not easy to discuss this, this trick is really amazing, no wonder it's all the way to the end. I haven't heard any introductions to these singers and music from the host."
Anna Wintour nodded: "Eric Williams' marketing of the Victoria's Secret brand this time is a classic. I even think this case will be included in many business school textbooks, so he will never let go of music. This marketing point, maybe he is just waiting for the right time."
The two chatted in a low voice. The lights in the venue changed again. The original strong lights went out one after another, and the golden lights came on. The atmosphere in the venue became a bit illusory, luxurious and glassy, making people unable to help themselves. Reminds me of those lavish jazz parties in the 1920s in America.
The classical soothing prelude of "-and-" is gradually sounded along with the sighing humming of the female voice. Cindy Crawford, who already has some classical beauty, is wearing the iconic pearl accessories and yarmulke of the golden age. And the crystal dress appeared on the runway, creating a dream-like dream of the past, making people seem to return to the past.
Some older audience members in the venue didn't really like the slightly noisy music just now, but when this baroque music with a soothing vicissitudes sounded slowly, many older audience members couldn't help but feel wrong. Memories and disappointments of the past. When they are middle-aged, they have become famous and they have seen the prosperity, but the girl who walked hand in hand through the streets and alleys has disappeared. Although this kind of regret is not worrying, it is always difficult to let go, so unknowingly During that time, tears fell.
After one song, in the face of the empty stage, most of the audience who didn't care much about the singer had the idea of wanting to meet the singer just now. It's just that they didn't know what the project team was thinking about. The male rock band appeared on the stage every time, but the singers of several female songs did not appear, and they just adopted the pure accompaniment mode.
In the central control room at the backstage of the big show, Eric looked at the picture on the monitor in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. Regarding the doubts of many people in the venue, Eric is of course not completely personal preference, but in view of some experience in previous lives, in many Victoria's Secret annual shows, female guests will only have two effects on stage, or female guests will take it away. The limelight of the angels was criticized as a special concert, or the Victoria's Secret angels set off the usually short guests like ugly ducklings. Either way, the effect was very bad, so Eric simply didn't let the female singer take the stage.
Looking at everyone in the monitor who were nervously preparing for the last theme, Eric picked up the only walkie-talkie on the console that could connect to everyone's headsets, and encouraged a few words in a warm tone. After putting down the walkie-talkie, he looked at him. The little girl and the twins, who were guarding together in the central control room, smiled and said, "The last theme, don't you guys go out and have a look?"
The little girl who was reading Eric's thick workbook raised her chin and said with a smile, "No, I prefer to see you."
Eric shrugged helplessly, and didn't say anything. As the voice of the executive director starting again came from the walkie-talkie, he turned all his attention to the monitor screen again. As long as there was nothing wrong with the theme, this big show It will also be a perfect curtain call. Five of the six themes have passed, and each of the five Victoria's Secret spokespersons has gone through an opening. The opening of the last "Snow Dance Elf" theme, Eric still handed it over to Diane Kruger.
Noticing that the girl on the monitor was nervously drawing a cross in front of him again, Eric smiled at the corners of his mouth. He was very satisfied with Diane Kruger's performance, and believed that everyone in the field would not be able to do it again at this time. Question his preference for the girl.
The music of the last "i---were-" sounded, and Diane Kruger, like the elf in the snow, walked towards the stage.
Eric's eyes changed with Diane Kruger's figure and shifted to the camera monitor in the venue.
In the fixed-point panoramic shot, everything went very smoothly.
However, when Diane Kruger walked the quarter runway, Eric suddenly felt Diane Kruger's figure suddenly sway, and a silver high-heeled shoe was detached from her left foot.
