Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 351 - 335: Candidates
Chapter 351: Chapter 335: Candidates
In fact, the method Wang Jian thought of was quite simple; it was nothing more than hyping up a scandal.
To demonstrate his sincerity to Universal, he could have an affair with the scammer’s daughter, Caroline.
So, faced with tens of millions of US Dollars, what was there to hesitate about...
As for how to get the website to authorize the garments and associate them with the Victoria’s Secret supermodels, that was even simpler.
He was soon going to join Ganni Versace and Roy Raymond to assess the supermodels in order to select the main supporting roles for "Prison Break Transformation"; it was a perfect excuse.
Victoria’s Secret, in order to obtain the lingerie authorization, would likely showcase the garments that had appeared in "Anomalies."
At that time, Wang Jian could pretend to be captivated by a supermodel’s beauty and express his deep infatuation.
While proclaiming her to be his muse, he would say that he wanted more people to see this beauty, and that’s why he provided the authorization.
Was this not similar to those renowned artists who painted nude portraits of their lovers?
In the conservative, dark ages, the public could understand and extol such actions, let alone in today’s United States.
So, the only problem was...
Wang Jian looked up and glanced at Ganni Versace, who was speaking animatedly, and nodded slightly.
Although this fashion master was somewhat naive about film production, believing Wang Jian’s story that the influence of Versace and Victoria’s Secret was more than the sum of their parts.
However, Ganni Versace’s understanding of the modeling industry was indeed profound.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be dubbed one of today’s "Three Giants" in the fashion world.
If the "muse" Wang chose was not professionally competent and was vetoed by him, that would be troublesome.
Artists having lovers, even multiple or same-gender lovers, was not an issue.
But if the lover was of too low a caliber, it could lead to ridicule.
"Hold on, I need to watch this veteran’s expression closely," Wang Jian silently said to himself, "I must balance the aesthetics of the fashion world and the public to choose the best candidate."
As the stretch Lincoln gradually came to a stop, Roy Ryan smiled, opened the car door, and gestured, "Gentlemen, please take a look around Victoria’s Secret’s training facility."
It must be said, given America’s despised status in the fashion world, Victoria’s Secret had done quite well.
Even this training facility was complete with a runway, spotlights, and sideline seating, all designed to the standards of Paris Fashion Week.
At this moment, a middle-aged Caucasian hurried over, likely a high-level executive at Victoria’s Secret.
He first led the trio to the best spot for viewing the runway show right in front of the T-stage, seemingly eager to please.
After diligently preparing beverages, he quietly asked Roy Raymond, "Mr. President, the models are all ready, shall we begin?"
Roy glanced at the other two, and after confirming there were no issues, nodded arrogantly.
Then, Wang Jian’s vision was suddenly illuminated, the spotlight’s brightness surged, and light music filled his ears.
"Shouldn’t the music for a Victoria’s Secret show be more pop-oriented?"
He listened to "Moonlight Sonata," looked around in confusion, and noticed Ganni Versace gently nodding his head.
"Those fashion folks from Europe really know how to put on airs..."
Wang Jian took a sip of mineral water, shelving the mindset he’d have at a revealing, bold Madonna concert, and focused on the stage.
According to tradition, at Victoria’s Secret’s major shows, angels typically appear in ascending order of rank.
However, this visit was more akin to a casting audition for actors, and appearing first meant a higher chance of being selected, so Victoria’s Secret reversed the order.
The first to appear was Tyra Banks, an African supermodel trying to transition from the fashion world to the entertainment industry.
She wore a pair of wings that had appeared in "Anomalies," worn by the female lead during her transformation.
It was only because of skin color that black had become white.
Looking at the angel strutting in high heels with long legs and a catwalk, Wang Jian nodded his head,
Especially when she, normally having a cold demeanor while walking, suddenly smiled upon arriving in front of the three.
This couldn’t help but make him muse, "It seems that any skin color can have attractive people."
But unfortunately...
Her fame was skyrocketing recently, even being dubbed "Black Pearl" by the media along with Hollywood’s African-American actress, Halle Berry.
"Based on my experience writing web novels, the combination of a prince and princess, although logical, lacks sensationalism."
A prince falling in love with Cinderella, that’s what the public enjoys watching.
Such top models surely have a massive following.
And rudely speaking, with Wang Jian’s current status, pursuing a famous Victoria’s Secret Angel like Tyra Banks would be seen by the public as expected.
"In works, one can subtly please the readers. In life, you must do something unexpectedly."
Wang Jian curled his lips and took another sip of his water, "Pretending to be an artist is truly mother-fucker tiring."
For this reason, although nearly 20 supermodels who followed on stage were impeccable in figure, appearance, and stage presence,
Even Ganni Versace would occasionally compliment them, Wang Jian had already crossed them out in his mind.
He focused his observation today on those unknown supermodels, watching the girls who came on stage afterward very carefully.
But...
Not knowing whether it was due to nerves or indeed average skills.
Next, accidents kept happening on the catwalk.
Stiff expressions, stumbling, and even one girl who fell to her knees on the stage nearly cried out.
The smile on Victoria’s Secret CEO Roy Raymond’s face also swiftly faded with those mistakes.
"Could it be..." Wang Jian stared straight ahead, shaking his head helplessly, "that I can only choose from the already famous supermodels?"
As he was pondering over which of the previously appeared supermodels had low enough media exposure recently, a very confident blonde girl appeared.
Perhaps because the contrast was too stark, even Ganni Versace couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the name of this model?"
"Heidi Krum." Roy let out a sigh of relief, feeling his face was saved, "She’s a 23-year-old girl from Germany with great potential."
"Great potential?" Wang Jian muttered to himself, deciding then to choose her.
After all, receiving praise from Versace means there’s no issue with professionalism.
And her looks were also in line with his aesthetic.
Just like the cluster of excellent Hollywood movies, another suitable candidate appeared.
"Who is this? Although the skills are a bit immature, the stage presence is great," Ganni Versace asked once again.
"Gisele Bundchen, a model just signed by Victoria’s Secret this year." Roy’s face began to smile again, "At 16, she’s bound to achieve something in this industry."
years old? A bit young...
Though according to US laws, even an 18-year-old himself establishing a relationship with her wouldn’t be a problem.
But since there’s Heidi Krum, why choose her?
Wang Jian was just looking for an excuse, not really intending to do anything.
As the model named Gisele Bundchen finished her walk, Roy Raymond also stood up, "So, the both of you, let’s go to the conference room to discuss further."
