v2 Chapter 253： Magic bible

"Sorry, sir, the event has already started, you can't go in now."

Because of an accident on the road, Duke came to the show at the Palace of Westminster late when he was habitually stopped by the Victoria's Secret staff guarding outside, but the other party immediately saw him. Who was it, then changed his words and said, "Director Rosenberg, can you please walk in from the corridor on the left side of the show?"

No one who can serve as a receptionist outside the show is an idiot. They recognize that they are one of the major shareholders of their own company and let them go immediately.

Duke nodded, and instead of going in directly through the front door, he walked through the corridor outside and toward the side door.

"Tina, remember to inform Nancy when you turn around." He turned to Tina Fey and said, "Don't cooperate with that car rental agency in the future."

The car he rented broke down on the road.

"I have written it down."

Who is his boss, Tina Fei still knows better, "I will look for a suitable car dealer when I look back."

"Also..." Duke remembered thinking about it on the road, but forgot to mention something because the car broke down. "Tell Nancy and Penny, let them inform Catherine Zeta Jones and Vivienne Lee, as soon as possible. Malibu moved out."

This kind of work is most suitable for an agent to do. He can see that Zeta Jones has always had unrealistic ideas, but Nancy's standard utilitarian will not give her a chance to achieve it.

Before walking to the side entrance, Tina Fei reminded, "When we came to London, Nancy and Penny were already dealing with it, and the time for the agreement is coming soon. It should be completed before we go back."

"This is best." Duke nodded.

The staff on the side door opened the door, and Duke and Tina Fei walked gently to the extension platform along the edge of the passage. After a short glance, she found Mrs. Mu Liya's location, and quickly walked over and sat on two adjacent seats next to her.

"Mom..." Duke greeted his mother.

Mrs. Leah nodded, "You are late."

"Something went wrong on the road car."

Seeing his mother looked over with concern, Duke quickly whispered. "It's just an engine failure."

Mrs. Leah's expression immediately relaxed, and she nodded to Tina Fei who said hello to the other side, her eyes turned to the stage again.

Duke's eyes crossed his mother and fell on the person sitting next to her. It was Scarlett Johansson. The childishness on the face of the former blond little girl basically disappeared. It seemed that he hadn't seen him, just looking down. , Obviously has no interest in the supermodels who were once curious.

Shook his head. Duke's attention also turned to the stretch stage, and the Victoria's Secret Angels' catwalk was underway.

After several years of exploration and practice, the annual show of Victoria's Secret has become more and more luxurious, and more and more faces have appeared on the Internet.

After just ten minutes of watching, Duke found two familiar faces from the newly added models, if he guessed correctly. It should be Adriana Lima and Gisele Bunchen, but from their outfits. It can be seen that it is just a peripheral model of Victoria's Secret and has not officially signed a contract.

In the past few years, with the continuous buildup, the reputation of Victoria's Secret Angels has gradually become apparent, and has even become synonymous with supermodels, and can sign contracts to become official angels. It not only means an overnight fame, but also a huge salary of millions of dollars a year.

Especially the wings that represent angels are what some models dream of. Today's Victoria's Secret Angels, wings have become a status symbol.

In Victoria's Secret, wings are not only for aesthetic considerations. It is also a symbol of model status. In the Victoria's Secret show in recent years, not every model has wings, only those who have wings, such as Heidi Klum, who is gradually becoming the top brand of Victoria's Secret Angels, they are Victoria's Secret The company’s contracted model is the true so-called angel.

Most models have already cooperated with the company before signing an angel contract with Victoria's Secret, but they are just like temporary workers, and their status and income are different from those of angels.

Every Victoria's Secret Angel Show is indispensable for performances by heavyweight guests. After several years, it has gradually become a practice to invite popular singers to sing on the Victoria's Secret stretch stage.

This year’s show was held in London. The invitation was naturally the most popular singer in the UK. At this stage in 1997, who was the most popular singer in the UK? Of course it is a combination.

So five gaudy little girls, wearing Victoria's Secret pink pajamas, walked onto the stage and sang their famous song "wannabe".

Although this group is famous, there is only one Duke can know, and frankly speaking, Victoria Adams's status among the five people is relatively low, which can be reflected in the number of lyrics sung and the position in the performance. , She has very few solo lyrics. Generally, she is in the fourth or fifth position, and she rarely gets to the front.

Always standing in the front is a black and blond Persian cat who sang the lead, but like "Chicago" and "Star Trek", winning first is not called winning. Of these five, who is the smartest person? I am afraid that in a few years, people all over the world will know.

In fact, in the past few years, who will remember the names of other members? It has become synonymous with a person.

After the torment of the long shooting of "Chicago", Duke has learned something from Lily Fred. Although the quality of singing and dancing is still limited, he has improved a little, and this is just an appreciation from the perspective of an observer.

Compared with the popular female singers in North America, such as Madonna, Maria Kelly, Whitney Houston, and Shania Dunn, their style is simply vulgar, no matter from modeling, singing, and music. There is no way to talk about elegance and chic.

The five girls look average, dance average, and the singing level is not very high. There are good and bad singing among the members, but the singing is not much better. If the only strength is that their performances are full of passion and youthful vitality. They also took the route of being extremely close to the people, and sang the simplest pop songs similar to the brainwashing of the future. This may be one of the reasons why they quickly became popular, but they fell at the same speed.

After "wannabe". I sang "who.do.you..are" again, which can be said to be very hard.

In fact, if you think about it a little bit, you can understand the reason for their hard work. This is a program that is broadcast to the United States through abc TV station. It is obvious that they want to enter the North American music market.

Compared to the almost completely closed market for TV and movie programs, pop music can be said to be more open to foreign music.

Don’t know if David Beckham is here? Duke suddenly came up with such boring thoughts. The Victoria's Secret Annual Show will invite a large number of celebrities to participate. If I remember correctly, David Beckham should be famous. After all, he will be fined for the World Cup next year.

This pair of golden boys and girls can be described as a typical example of male and female juniors at the same time.

Shaking his head, Duke threw away these boring thoughts. He himself was not much better. In the circle of entertainment, these were all too normal.

After the show. The catwalk enters a short break, and the guests can also solve some personal problems. Scarlett Johansson on the other side of Mrs. Leah put the book in his hand into his shoulder bag and stood up.

"Hi, Duke." She greeted her very politely.

"Honey..." Duke smiled, "I didn't expect you to see me now."

"Sorry, I'm a little fascinated by the book." She managed to squeeze a smile and said to Mrs. Leah. "Godmother, I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'll accompany you." Tina Fei also stood up.

Two women, one large and one small, walked outside. Duke asked strangely, "Mom, what happened?"

Mrs. Leah knew that Duke was asking Scarlett Johansson, and sighed and said, "The Johanssons are preparing for a divorce, and the two have become enemies. In order to fight for property, Scarlett called me several times, crying. I brought her out. This situation hurts a child her age the most, and I can feel it. Her personality seems to have changed a bit."

Outsiders can't intervene in other people's family affairs. Duke just persuaded his mother a few words, and stopped saying anything.

Indeed, it is the children caught in the middle that are hurt the most by a broken family. Not everyone will have such a peculiar experience and will not be affected by family splits at all. Moreover, children in their early tenths are often particularly hurt.

The younger ones are less sensible and will not feel too deep; the older ones will be a little more mature and have a stronger bearing capacity.

"Duke..."

Probably thinking of the past, Mrs. Leah suddenly asked in a low voice, "What did you think?"

"Please, mom, I was just a kid who didn't understand anything."

Duke can't always say that his thinking was mature enough, right? I had to say, "I was only three years old at the time, what can I think? When I grow up a little sensible, I feel that I am lucky enough to have the best mother in the world."

Although Mrs. Leah didn't say anything, there was a smile on her lips.

Not long after Tina Fei and Scarlett Johansson came back, the catwalk started again. Those enthusiastic angel models continued to sit and interact with the audience, squeezing winks and blowing kisses, bringing the atmosphere of the scene Push to climax.

The final finale was the sky-high price underwear made of diamonds, rubies and platinum. Today, Victoria’s Secret’s top brand Angel Heidi Klum wore them to the finale. As in the past, this underwear costing $3.5 million has not waited. At the end of the catwalk, it was taken away by a certain super-rich with a bid price of $5 million.

The show was gone, and then there was a grand party. When going to the hotel, Duke got into his mother’s RV. After the car started, Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting across from him, was still holding a book and reading. Very focused.

"Hey, kid." Duke couldn't help asking curiously, "What are you looking at, so fascinated."

Scarlett had no need to lift her head, "I just bought it after I came to London, my magic bible, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"." (To be continued...)
