As Roman's second-tier magazine, "Fashion" magazine was founded at the end of the last century.
In this world, Roman's cultural entertainment has developed extremely prosperously. As early as thirty years ago, Roman had several world-class superstars, and at the same time, the fashion circle has also developed rapidly.
As early as before coming to the "Fashion" studio today, Len was mentally prepared. Even if it is a second-tier magazine, there are many first-tier magazines and top magazines ahead, but the strength of Roman's second-tier magazine in this world is definitely better than the first-tier magazine in his previous life.
But what Len never expected was that when he really entered this wide and bright studio, he was actually stunned by this grand and generous handwriting.
...Is this really just a second-tier magazine studio?
After scanning the crowded heads in the huge studio, Len turned to look at the agent beside him and asked, "George, there seem to be quite a few models taking photos today?"
In the row of dressing rooms inside the studio, there were a few closed doors, but there were a few open doors that actually accommodated four or five models each! In addition, there were three photography equipments in the studio shooting at the same time. Len looked around and estimated that there were at least thirty models waiting here.
Such a group of voluptuous and tall models surrounded here, which was naturally a visual enjoyment, but does a second-tier magazine really need so many models? And this is a day's shooting schedule!
Listening to Len's question, George laughed awkwardly, and then he said, "We are shooting the trendy clothing introduction section in the middle pages of the magazine. This is one of the main sections of "Fashion". Generally... there will be a lot of models." And they are all small models who are not very famous.
George didn't say the rest of the words, but Len sighed secretly, and understood what he meant.
When studying "Fashion" last night, Len also noticed that on the five or six pages in the middle of this magazine, some trendy combinations of the season would be specially introduced. For example, the issue of "Fashion" last year that Len flipped through last night named this section "Traveling through Oriental Style".
Even though Len guessed that the original owner of the body might not be in a high position now, he didn't expect that he would fall from a first-line male model to a second-line magazine clothing model.
Looking at George's helpless and gloomy expression, Len smiled lightly and raised the corners of his lips, comforting him: "It's okay, George, we have to start from the beginning, this starting point is already high enough, this is "Fashion". As he spoke, the boy raised his hand and gently patted George on the shoulder.
The boy with a shining look in his eyes didn't know how much shock his gentle smile and tone brought to his agent. George stared at Len for a long time, and only reacted when a makeup assistant came up and asked, "Len? Let's get ready to put on makeup."
Seeing his model who grew up overnight politely and calmly respond to the assistant and follow him into the dressing room, George's eyes twitched slightly, and he was filled with grief and indignation: He and Len had been working at the bottom for three years, when did Len learn to flirt with others! ! ! !
George's grief and indignation were magnified a hundred times when makeup artist Carol was putting makeup on Len, which hit him hard!
"Your skin is so good, Len, what skin care products do you usually use?"
"Maybe it's because I'm still young, but your skin is not bad either. Are you... 25 this year?"
" what nonsense are you talking about, I'm 35!"
George: "..."
Tell me! Where did you learn the skills of flirting with girls! ! ! !
While George was in a state of grief and indignation, the makeup artist had already simply applied light makeup to Len. There were too many models coming to shoot the magazine today, and many young models gathered around Len while he was putting on makeup.
George never knew that Len was so eloquent!
"I've seen you in a magazine before," Len coaxed the group of young and beautiful female models into a happy smile, which made George stunned.
How could he remember... Last time he took Len to shoot a magazine, this guy called the photographer "Auntie" and "Auntie" and made him angry and walked away. Why did the situation change today? ! ! !
Of course, there are also people who have a general attitude towards Len or even dislike him.
It is true that a dressing room in "Fashion" can accommodate four or five people to make up at the same time, but there are only two makeup artists. So when the makeup artist Carol was doing the final makeup for Len, she suddenly heard a sneer from the side: "Carol, the eyebrows you just drew for me are a little blurred, can you help me fix it?"
The tone was cold and strange, as if it came out from between teeth, and the mocking tone made Len frown slightly.
Len looked up in the mirror and saw a handsome and tall male model standing beside him, looking at him with a smile. Before Len could say anything, the model smiled and said, "Long time no see, Len. You seem to have changed a lot in half a year. Your face is more delicate."
At the end, the model deliberately prolonged his tone and glanced at Len meaningfully. Even without saying more, others understood: he was hinting that Len had plastic surgery!
Although the fashion circle not only looks at the face, but also the temperament and figure, the matter of "plastic surgery" is still slightly disgusting.
Hearing the model's sarcastic words, the boy frowned slightly, thought carefully and recalled, then smiled and said, "I'm almost done with my makeup here. Sorry, please wait a moment, Carol will be able to help you touch up your makeup soon."
The model saw Len's "begging for mercy" attitude, snorted lightly and planned to leave first, but what everyone didn't expect was that just as the model took a step, the handsome boy raised his lips and asked, "By the way, I wonder what your name is? I haven't seen you for half a year, you have changed a lot, I really can't recognize you."
Carol: !!! (snickering)
George: !!! (shocked)
The people who were trying not to laugh: laughing in their hearts
After being so angry that his face turned black, the male model stared at the boy in the mirror with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes. But when he found that Len actually blinked at him innocently, the male model laughed in anger, and left after saying "You'd better remember your words."
As soon as the model left the dressing room, everyone could no longer hold back their laughter. Even Carol put down her hand holding the brush and said helplessly: "Len, you are so mean. How did you know Kirk had plastic surgery? His plastic surgery technique is very sophisticated. If I hadn't put on makeup for him just now, even I wouldn't have noticed it."
Hearing this, Len, who had already seen the other party's face stiff, pretended to be surprised and asked: "So he really had plastic surgery? Carol, I was just guessing, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right."
After hearing this, Carol laughed twice, and after she had completely put on Len's makeup, she looked a little worried. Said: "But Len, Kirk is a stingy person. I heard that he seems to be hanging out with the deputy editor of "Fashion" recently. Although we are disgusted by his bullying, you'd better be careful."
Len smiled calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Carol, I will pay attention."
Then the two of them chatted and laughed for a few more words, and George watched Len temporarily say goodbye to a group of model sisters and sisters, making a group of big beauties and little beauties smile, and finally followed him out of the dressing room to choose clothes.
As they walked, there were still many surprised and surprised eyes cast at them, making George unable to bear it and asked: "Len, why are you so sweet today?"
In response, the boy raised his eyebrows in surprise: "George, I'm just telling the truth."
George: "..."
When George went to find someone to get the next clothes to change, Len stood alone next to a photo area, smiling calmly and watching the models take pictures.
Such a charming boy naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. When they came to talk to Len, Len would respond politely and gained a lot of goodwill.
——Why is he so sweet?
In his previous life, Len had been alone in the fashion circle for twelve years. He was no longer the young and reckless model. In order to survive in such a complicated circle, he had no background and no support. He could only endure, endure, and endure again, and climb up step by step.
Of course, this kind of endurance does not mean that you can swallow your anger in the face of provocation and insults like Kirk just now. Once a person endures too much, he will give people the impression that "the whole person is easy to bully", which is even more detrimental to his own development.
Therefore, an attitude that is friendly but not flattering, and distant but not indifferent, is the right way to gain a foothold in this circle.
Thinking of this, Len waited for a long time before George, who had been dawdling for a long time. When he saw him, he wanted to ask George why he had been waiting for so long, but when he saw the clothes in George's hand, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
After a long while, the tall and handsome boy smiled and asked gently, "George, should we... change clothes?"
