Chapter 639： How to play in the fashion circle

This charity ball is called met_ball, and the purpose is to raise funds for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to train more and better fashion designers.

It has been in business for thirty years.

If the party terminator on the west coast of the United States is the Oscar ceremony, then the east coast of the United States is the most star-studded met_ball!

In this grand event, noble ladies, Hollywood A-Celebrity stars, leaders in the sports industry, and giants in the fashion industry will all actively attend, and bring out their most ceremonious equipment to join this gorgeous event.

In addition, many local tyrants are also involved.

That's all for some media tycoons like Summer Redstone and Dunn Walker. After all, they still have something to do with the fashion world, but it's strange to have some big bosses.

For example, the major shareholder of a certain pharmaceutical manufacturer, the manager of a certain foundation, the big boss of a certain real estate developer, the person in charge of a certain securities intermediary company...

These local tyrants are either out of the face of Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of "vogue" magazine, or to promote their personal image, or... They are stamp collectors and come here to find new products.

As for Anna Wintour...the name will be unfamiliar to non-fashion people.

But when it comes to a movie, everyone knows it very well - "The Queen Wears Prada"!

That's right, the prototype of "Miranda" played by Meryl Streep in the movie is this Anna Wintour!

So when he saw her, Dunn said, "Anna, I'm really bothering you this time. By the way, have you read a novel? "The Queen Wears Prada"."

Anna Wintour slapped her forehead, looking both annoyed and dumbfounded.

Tang En said with a smile: "It looks like I know."

Anna Wintour shook her head and laughed, "Lauren used to work in 'vogue', oh, it's Lauren Weisberg, the author of this book. She's a wonderful little girl, she did it for me for a year. Assistant. As a result...the pressure was too great, and she left her job. She didn't expect to come up with such a book."

Tang Enruo said meaningfully: "This is a good book!"

"Oh?" Anna Wintour reacted quickly and found something, "Could it be... to be remade into a movie?"

Tang En smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean. I have already bought the copyright of the novel. When Meryl is free, I will start this project."

"Meryl?" Anna Wintour was slightly startled, "Meryl Streep?"

"right."

"She's going to play me?"

Dunn laughed, "That's right!"

Meryl Streep's fame is far too great to compare to Anna Wintour, the fashionista in her 50s, with an uncontrollable excitement immediately on her face, "If so, That would be great! Mr. Walker, if Meryl is really starring, 'vogue' would be willing to cooperate with it, and I would even be willing to serve as a consultant myself."

Dunn said: "Don't worry, this movie involves a big man like you. We will definitely strive for perfection in the choice of cast. In addition to Meryl Streep, I also intend to arrange Anne Hathaway. Go in. You know Anne Hathaway, don't you?"

"Oh, of course!" Anna Wintour would never let go of any female star, and then looked at the female companion beside Dunn, her eyes lit up, "Who is this beautiful girl?"

Dunn didn't hide it, and introduced: "My girlfriend, Gal Gadot."

"Hello, Ms. Wintour, "vogue" magazine, I must read every issue, it is the enlightenment of my fashion." Gal Gadot bowed slightly, elegant and graceful, with a dignified temperament.

There is an innate elegance and extravagance.

Anna Wintour has seen too many fashion models, and her eyes are almost glowing, "Yes, yes! Gail, you have the potential to become the world's first-line model!"

"Huh?" Gal Gadot was taken aback.

Tang En is also a little uncertain. Gal Gadot's temperament is not the cold style of a model. Her smile is too warm and does not conform to the fashion industry's bizarre mainstream.

"She is still young, and she will return to Israel for military service in a while. Career planning... Let's talk about it later."

"Oh, that's a pity." Anna Wintour sighed.

Tang En changed the subject, "What are the exhibits today?"

Anna Wintour said with a smile: "Mainly the dresses designed by French designer Yves Saint Laurent in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as some famous designer Karl Lagerfeld, who is still in the mainstream of fashion today. Chanel dresses, 108 in all."

These 108 exhibits, after auction, can raise a donation of 50 million US dollars at least.

The process of the charity evening is that the guests first appreciate the 108 pieces of artwork and clothing in the exhibition hall, and the whole process will last about 45-60 minutes.

Then, the guests returned to their seats and started the auction.

Anna Wintour was the main person in charge of the party. She didn't have time to accompany the whole party, but she arranged for assistant Jayden Brook.

This is a man, Gary is arrogant, more mother than a woman.

He accompanied him throughout the whole process, and introduced the background, value and artistic connotation of each exhibit dress to Dunn and Gal Gadot.

Tang En was a little bored and asked, "Why don't you find some models to wear these clothes?"

Jayden Brook said: "These gifts are treasures for decades. It will be a loss for models to wear them."

Dunn was a little disappointed.

If it is a model wearing it, maybe his interest will be even greater.

Jayden Brook took a deep glance at Dunn, seemed to have noticed something, and said with a smile: "Mr. Walker, I have many friends in the industry, all of them are excellent models. If you are interested, wait until the dance is over, I can arrange it for you."

He didn't know that Gal Gadot was Dunn's girlfriend, and thought she was an ordinary female companion, so he had no scruples in speaking.

Tang En frowned slightly and said indifferently, "No need."

Jayden Brook blurted out: "It doesn't matter. For their remuneration, I can represent "vogue" and advance for you. Anna explained it to me on purpose, and we are willing to make friends like you."

Dunn glanced at him, confused.

The world of gays, I really don't understand!

Lao Tzu is Dunn Walker, the sixth richest person in the world by Forbes!

Tens of billions of dollars worth!

Depend on!

Will I miss that little bit of money?

This brain circuit is really weird.

However, from Jaden Brook's words, Dunn also heard something and asked: "Remuneration? The model industry's remuneration... how much is it?"

"Separate people, a big man like you..."

"No, no, I'm talking about the general market."

Jayden Brook said: "If it's a new model, it's usually $2,000 for a meal."

Dunn blinked, "A meal?"

Jayden Brook lowered his voice and said: "It's just to accompany some rich bosses to dinner. This kind of work, the usual time limit is 1-2 hours, the requirements for models are high heels, short skirts, elegant manners, fluent English, able to Accept the natural intimacy of conversation."

Natural intimacy?

Dunn is very funny.

This statement is also graceful enough.

"Then what?" Dunn was far more interested in this topic than the dresses in the glass showcase.

Gal Gadot didn't want to participate, just saw Leonardo and Gisele Bundchen, and ran over to be with them.

Without Gal Gadot, Jayden Brook let go even more and said with a smile: "Next, there are some models with excellent conditions and a certain reputation, who will attend all kinds of high-end parties, even Vanity Fair parties after the Oscars, parties at international film festivals such as Cannes and Venice, will also participate.”

"What about the price?"

"If you attend a Vanity Fair party, $50,000 a night; if it's Cannes, $30,000 a night; film festivals in Venice, Rome, Berlin and other places are less influential, and the asking price is usually around $10,000 to $20,000."

Dunn nodded, "Even if it is $10,000 a night, this price is not too low."

He has participated in many carnival parties organized by Leonardo, which are filled with all kinds of long-legged models to choose from.

Don't know how much the asking price is.

Even if it is $10,000 a night, that carnival will cost $200,000 to $300,000.

Jaden Brook whispered again: "This is the previous market, but now a group of people have appeared, breaking the rules."

"Oh?"

"This price is aimed at some excellent models, and they do meet this value. However, there are some girls, posing as actors, models or fashionistas, who often attend such occasions to seduce the rich, and they The service content is more and the scale is larger. This makes the market more and more chaotic, and even drugs and hallucinogenic drugs do not matter, and Russian roulette can be played.”

"What? Russian Roulette?"

Dunn is the first time I heard this word.

Jaden Brook hesitated and explained in a low voice.

Tang En's face changed very abnormally.

Nima, why does it sound more like a feast in the sea?

Damn!

This not only ruins the atmosphere and tradition of the fashion circle, but may even involve a large number of professional models and affect their fortunes.

No wonder the modeling industry is getting more and more difficult to mix, and wild models and peripherals have become moths that spoil the market atmosphere.

Tang En had a sympathetic expression, thinking secretly in his heart: "Damn I have to find a chance to talk to Leonardo about this, so that when he has a carnival party in the future, he should pay attention to choosing a credible one. Do not find those outsiders who are outsiders.”

Models work part-time to earn some tips, which is understandable.

But the peripheral wild models are too much to play Russian roulette?

This is how you treat yourself as a toilet!

This is no longer a question of shame or not.

This is breaking the boundaries between humans and animals.

This kind of woman must be far, far away!

Take the initiative to come to the door, you have to kick out!

Jayden Brook added: "However, these are the bottom layers after all. The real supermodels are all sky-high prices. For example, the supermodels of Victoria's Secret, and several supermodels on the cover of our "vogue"."

"How many?"

"$2 million a night!"

"so tall?"

Dunn exclaimed.

Jayden Brook nodded solemnly: "Yes, it's that high!"

Tang En was stunned for a moment, a little fortunate.

He also includes two angel supermodels, Angela Lindelwald and Karolina Kerkova, each spending nearly $10 million a year!

Simply an astronomical number!

Especially after Dunn went to Japan for a while, he felt even more worthless.

Japanese girls are well-behaved, obedient, safe, secretive, and clean. For example, Yu Aoi, who gave her $10,000 in pocket money every month, made her very happy.

In contrast, the huge sum of money Bao Wei Mi supermodel... It's a waste!

But listening to Jayden Brook say this, Dunn's heart is more balanced.

It seems that the annual "package buyout" fee of $10 million is not too expensive.

People can make $2 million a night if they sell it on a pay-per-view basis!
