It's almost seven o'clock and the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is about to begin.
But even at this time, if the people sitting in the venue listened quietly, they could still hear the noise coming from outside.
But this has nothing to do with the invited guests sitting in the venue, and many of them even feel a little proud.
You are outside blowing the cold wind, while we are in the air-conditioned room looking at beauties.
In the heart of human beings, there are only two things that they pursue: pretense and lust.
It just so happens that those who are able to enter the venue to watch the lingerie show have both of these.
Sitting in the front row on the left side of the catwalk are the editors-in-chief and founders of various European and American fashion magazines.
These fashion industry bigwigs are whispering about what changes this Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will bring to the industry.
You have to know that the fashion industry occupies a very strange position in the entertainment industry.
The products it produces are all luxury goods.
For the entertainment industry as a whole, the fashion industry is an important channel for them to monetize.
For celebrities, these things mean sky-high endorsement fees.
But models in the fashion industry are at the bottom of the celebrity industry.
To know where a profession occupies in the entire industry food chain, one just needs to look at the flow of personnel.
People go to high places, and water flows to low places.
In the entertainment industry, we have only seen models switch careers to become actors, but we have never seen people from other industries switch careers to become models.
This shows that the status of models in the entertainment industry is really not high.
However, these bigwigs in the fashion industry still have some status, at least their status in the entertainment industry is not low.
But even so, they still looked worried at this moment.
"Do you think this will be an opportunity for capital from the film market to enter the fashion industry?"
Camilla, the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, asked her colleague.
"I think you're worrying too much."
Paris, the editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone magazine, seemed unconvinced: "I heard that Victoria's Secret wanted to give Washimine a stake, but was rejected."
Another editor from VOGUE asked quietly, "Do you think Washimine is not optimistic about the fashion industry?"
"After all, the current environment is not very good~" Paris said with a pout, "For the outside world, entering the luxury industry now is not a wise choice."
Since the economic crisis began last year, the fashion industry, as a high-end consumer, has naturally been impacted to a certain extent.
Anyone in the circle knows this to some extent.
"Don't worry, for those of us in this industry, we are already used to these ups and downs."
Having said that, Paris's eyes were always looking at the luxurious lineup of guests around him and the gorgeous decoration of the venue.
Obviously, he was not as indifferent as he appeared.
The time finally came to seven o'clock. With a few clicks, the lights in the venue changed rapidly and the guest seats became dim.
All the lights in the venue were focused on the T-stage, which was already covered with silver sequins and became even more dazzling.
Everyone at the scene subconsciously focused their attention on the giant arch in the center of the stage.
Specialized rock instruments have been placed in front of the hard rear-projection giant screen behind the arch.
Camilla couldn't help but be surprised when she saw this scene.
"Rock opening...are you planning to start with the Iron Man segment?"
In Camilla's opinion, Washimine's move was like a royal flush at the beginning of a card game.
Normal people would not use such a bizarre routine.
You should know that the main planner of this Victoria's Secret show is Nanaya Kiryu, the famous commercial genre film director.
The psychological needs of the audience and how a performance should meet expectations.
The director should be very clear about this.
In this case, such unconventional operating methods are bound to make people confused.
So Camilla whispered to Paris beside her: "Do you think that Director Kiryu is going to show his cards right from the start?"
Paris shook her head. "I don't know, but we got some information that this time, the promotion and focus of Victoria's Secret and Washimine is not "Iron Man". It seems that Victoria's Secret strongly requested to add this unit."
Camilla nodded, but she was not very interested in who would be the host of this Victoria's Secret show.
She is even more looking forward to what kind of fashion show the Victoria's Secret and Vogue Summit will put on this time.
If it is true as Paris said, then Camilla believes that this lingerie show should be very exciting.
After the lights came on, Nanaya came out quickly.
He gave a brief speech to everyone present and then retreated amid applause.
Because Nanaya knew very well that he was not the protagonist of this show.
No one would want to listen to me talking nonsense.
So, it's best to get straight to the point.
After Nanaya left the stage, the lights in the venue changed again.
The bright red light dyed the entire T-stage red, and the entire venue seemed to be dyed a bright red.
Then, heavy metal rock music sounded.
Through the on-site surround sound system, the entire Arsenal was filled with a rock sound that combined metal and dynamics.
While it is exciting, it also brings a strong sense of tension to all the Victoria's Secret Angels waiting in the wings.
Although the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has become very famous after several years of preparation, this grand performance is the first time for these models.
If they can successfully complete tonight's show, they will receive an exceptionally dazzling medal in their careers.
But if anything goes wrong, it could also be devastating to their careers.
Apart from anything else, Washimine's revenge is more than these little models can bear.
As the Victoria's Secret Angel who opened the show, she even felt a slight numbness in her hands and feet.
The young beauty pursed her pink lips, quickly made the sign of the cross in front of her, and then took a deep breath, trying to relax herself as much as possible.
"Relax." Downie on the side encouraged her with a smile, "Although I am a big star, I will not molest you."
Perhaps it was Downie's funny expression that worked, and the other party chuckled: "It's not you I'm afraid of, Mr. Downie."
"That's good. I thought I was already famous."
Danny nodded thankfully, "What's your name?"
"Mary."
The other party replied with a smile.
"Well, it's just one note away, otherwise Washimine might have invited you to play a plumber."
"Everyone—Go!"
At a command from the executive director in the headset, the staff waiting at the backstage door signaled to Mary that it was time to go on stage.
"Go ahead, Miss Mary. I'll be right here."
Donny gently pushed the girl out of the field and winked at her encouragingly.
After days of rigorous rehearsal, Mary, feeling a little dizzy, walked towards the stage almost instinctively.
That delicately made-up face revealed a charming smile that she had secretly practiced countless times.
In the warm atmosphere, as soon as she appeared, the audience burst into applause and cheers almost without any signal.
After a brief pause at the exit, Mary walked towards the dazzling silver T-stage with a seductive walk.
Her bright red underwear reflected a dazzling light under the light.
The young model's appearance was indeed stunning, but what surprised the audience even more was that the model's steps were full of personal style.
This is a style that is confident yet steady, domineering yet charming.
Most of the audience were from the fashion industry, and they certainly knew how rare it was to have a model with a unique personal catwalk style.
Even Nanaya in the backstage felt a little surprised.
"Are you interested in her?" Shion asked teasingly.
"Hmm... the other party is very distinctive." Nanaya rubbed his chin and said, "It should be able to leave a very deep impression on the audience."
The FGO project has already begun, and Nanaya now needs a large number of distinctive actors - both male and female are needed.
This Victoria's Secret model looked very charismatic, so Nanaya recorded it first as a backup.
However, Nanaya didn't know.
Behind him, Shion quietly lowered her hand that had been in the two-finger Zen gesture.
··
Just when most of the audience were amazed by the catwalk of the model named Mary.
Many people also focused on the girl's angel costume, which included a red jacket, golden underwear, white gloves, and transparent blue wings that symbolized the sky.
This outfit makes the girl look sexy, playful, and a little cute.
Especially when they reached the end of the T-stage, the other party imitated Iron Man in the movie and made a playful firing gesture.
This caused most of the people in the venue to cheer again, as if they had been hit.
Led by this outstanding debut model, the next person to appear was not a model, but Donny in a suit.
He walked to the center of the stage and opened his arms as if to hug everyone amid warm applause.
Then more models began to file out from the backstage. These girls walked in a sexy catwalk and interacted with the audience on both sides.
In the end, it was like many stars surrounding the moon, surrounding Downie in the center.
"Welcome everyone to the 2009 Victoria's Secret Angels Fashion Show!" Donny said, imitating Tony Stark's voice. "I hope everyone can have a great night!"
At this moment, the atmosphere at the Victoria's Secret Show reached its first peak, and everyone gave enthusiastic praise to the stage.
Of course, there will be people who appreciate it, people who cheer, and people who will express disdain.
Camilla heard a woman behind her make a somewhat scathing comment: "It was just like the parade this morning. There's nothing new about it."
Camilla turned around quickly after hearing this comment, and she found that the person who spoke was a well-known designer in the circle.
Seeing this, Camilla directly whispered back: "That's because they don't need any new ideas to gain recognition. Do you think you can do it?"
The other party immediately fell silent.
