Hollywood Hunter

The aftermath of the European currency crisis continues, but Simon and Janet’s itinerary has not been affected. Even the September 26th "Wall Street Journal" article was actually arranged in advance.

Been to Helsinki, participated in the Gucci catwalk, the rest of the time is to play everywhere.

There are so many beautiful scenery in Europe in autumn, and fairytale towns surrounded by red leaves can be found everywhere.

So until September 29, Milan Fashion Week ends.

Simon and Janet returned from the Alps specifically to attend the closing party of Fashion Week.

Because of the rapid rise of Gucci, Milan Fashion Week, which was originally only more concerned than London Fashion Week, has been quite lively in recent years.

The most obvious point is that there are obviously more supermodel celebrities participating in fashion week than before.

Moreover, as the Westeros system has become more and more influential in the fashion and entertainment industries, many people actually come to Simon.

"After the next New York Fashion Week ends, I hope to visit Los Angeles, Simon, can you let me participate in the Victoria's Secret catwalk, even if there is only one show."

The closing ceremony of the party scene.

Naja Allman was holding a glass of red wine, looking at Simon with blue eyes, and leaning slightly towards the man, with a pitiful begging expression in her expression.

The girl wore a black suspender dress tonight. The style was average, but it was difficult to hide her slender figure.

As a ‘legged’ girl who was held up by Simon, not only did she not get the endorsement of the Victoria's Secret Angels like Yasmin Gerry this time, she did not even get the qualifications of the ordinary Victoria's Secret Angels for the show.

The main reason is the appearance and figure of Naja Allman, which is more suitable for high fashion (HighFashion), and lacks the beautiful face and slim figure needed by Victoria's Secret Angels. On the other hand, the girl's original career focus has always been in Europe, and she is usually based in Paris. Although she also started to expand her business to North America after she became famous, in fact, she doesn't even speak English very well. She just spoke with Simon, using German directly.

Therefore, Naja Allman simply did not participate in the Victoria's Secret Angel Selection.

Of course, because it was promoted by Simon, it would not be good not to participate in the fashion show run by the other party himself, so I also explained it to Simon through the elite executives.

Simon also felt that girls were not suitable for Victoria's Secret show, so he didn't care.

Many people in the circle understand the reason for this, but it does not prevent some media from talking about it.

The same is the ‘waist essence’ and the ‘leg essence’ that Westeros personally handed out. The waist essence obtained the qualification of the Victoria’s Secret angel spokesperson, but the leg essence did not even participate in the Victoria’s Secret show.

So, is it falling out of favor, is it because of something that has offended Westeros, or is there other inside stories?

After some supermodels in the fashion circle become famous by becoming the muse of a certain brand designer, even if they fall out of favor, their fame will still exist.

However, if the current circle falls out of favor in front of Westeros, the problem is somewhat serious.

Hollywood is not without such a precedent.

such as.

Meg Ryan.

Westeros is really good at admiring women, but if you leave a woman in the cold, the end will be bleak.

Naja Allman’s agency used some media platforms to imply that the girl did not participate in the Victoria’s Secret show more than once, and it was just that the image was inappropriate. Moreover, the girl also had an endorsement cooperation with the CK brand under Melisandre, so the matter It has nothing to do with being left out by Westeros.

However, some media always like to watch the excitement.

Moreover, the pool in the fashion circle is not big after all. If a newcomer with the potential of a supermodel can be suppressed, whether it is a well-known model with a competitive relationship or a brokerage company, they don't mind pushing it.

Therefore, the explanation is to cover up.

The cooperation with CK cannot be cancelled because of the agreement. Whether there will be cooperation in the follow-up is not certain.

Conclusion: It must be left out!

These things, Sophia actually talked to Simon when gossip, and Simon naturally didn't take it to heart.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of Naja Allman, I realized that this incident seemed to have a considerable impact on the girl.

After thinking about it, Simon still shook his head and said, "But, Najia, the main fitting and rehearsal was over last month. You should insert it now. At least one theme needs to be rearranged."

Seeing that Simon's tone was not too firm, Naja Allman said immediately: "Simon, I have contacted Mr. Casablanca, as long as you agree, Elite can replace one of his own models and I will replace it."

There are a total of 40 people in the Victoria’s Secret Angels team. Most of them are from famous model agencies such as Elite and Ford. If one of them is not so famous, it seems that the problem is not big if it is topped by Naga Allman. .

Now that the girl had planned and the Elite had to cooperate, Simon nodded.

As for who was replaced, Simon didn't care much.

However, he still urged: "Make arrangements for this so that there is no messy news. Also, since you missed the rehearsal in August, after New York Fashion Week, stay in Los Angeles to prepare for this event. "

Naga Allman swept away from the pathetic expression just now, with a bit of joy in her expression, and nodded: "I know."

Simon looked at the girl before him and couldn't help sighing.

Women really are fickle.

Noting Simon's expression, Naja Allman quickly converged a little, and said: "Simon, you have to go back to North America next, right?"

Simon is not clear so: "Yes."

"Then," the girl looked expectantly: "Can you let me ride the fan?"

Simon froze, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth quickly: "Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning at Milan International Airport."

Seeing that the girl was about to jump again, Simon smiled and added: "However, there will be many people together this time."

In recent days, not only Naja Allman, but many people have actually asked whether they can take Simon's Boeing 767 when returning to North America.

From the initial Madonna and Cindy Crawford to the present Naja Allman, Simon was initially unable to reach the little entanglement of the Queen Mai and agreed. Madonna just came here specifically to support the Gucci show, and asked to be picked up. Not too much.

Now that he had the beginning, when other people mentioned it, Simon simply responded, and then he took the initiative to invite some people together.

This kind of favoritism will certainly not hurt.

As a medium-sized airliner with a standard capacity of 200 passengers, even if it is converted into a private jet, it is easy to take dozens of people together.

In addition to the Simon and his wife's accompanying team, there were eventually more than 20 other men and women who would return to North America together, and Janet even planned an air party for this.

Having settled her own business, Naja Allman noticed that the lead singer of the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, and Jerry Hall and his wife walked up together, greeted each other politely, and took the initiative to flash others.

As one of the famous models of this era and the wife of Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall certainly will not miss a few major fashion weeks.

Simon greeted the two of them and chatted with Mick Jagger about topics like movies and music.

Today, Jerry Hall, who wore a silver dress and had a much stronger temperament than Najia who had just left, just stood by, occasionally meeting the two men.

However, when a woman inadvertently looks at Simon, her expression will inadvertently show a slightly ridiculous smile.

Seems to remind Simon something.

Simon certainly will not forget the weekend that he took Jerry Hall and another famous model Ella Macpherson in Hawaii.

Of course, Simon did not have any guilty conscience in front of the woman's husband.

The couple in front of them are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Although he is married to Jerry Hall and has children, Mick Jagger's romantic affair will appear in the gossip media every two days.

Of course, Simon did not have a position to point to Mick Jagger. The only thing he did better was that he would not let the media catch anything.

Everyone talked a few words and was about to separate. Jerry Hall, who has not spoken much, said: "Simon, at the party the previous night, I heard Madonna say that you can take your plane back to North America. Can you bring me one?"

"Of course," Simon nodded, realizing something, looked at Mick Jagger, and asked, "Won't Mick go to North America together?"

Mick Jagger shook his head and said, "I have some other schedules here."

"It's a pity, because there are so many people together this time, Jenny also specially prepared an aerial party. If you can get together, it will definitely be more exciting."

"It's really regrettable, I can only look forward to the next time."

When the couple left, Simon socialized a few more times. Seeing that the time was almost the same, he found Janet in the crowd and planned to leave.

Sophia also followed back to the mountain villa on Lake Como in the northern suburbs of Milan.

When I got home, it was already more than ten o'clock in the night. Janet, who paid great attention to maintenance, ran to take a bath and planned to rest as soon as possible. Sophia was not drowsy, and she also talked to Simon about an idea that had just occurred at the party.

Melisandre now has a total of four brands, Gucci is the main revenue, accounting for more than 70% of Melisandre's revenue, Van Cleef & Arpels and CK are also developing very rapidly. The last Chateau Latour, this is entirely Simon's personal collection, and does not pursue commercial interests. However, because of past experience, Sofia was able to manage Chateau Latour with ease. The current winery basically retains the best red wine, but the annual output is steadily produced through Sofia’s operation. income.

On the whole, except for the recently acquired CK, the other three brands continue to provide more or less profit to Melisandre.

For most companies, with sufficient funds, they will of course choose to expand further.

Compared to LVMH, which has the two pillars of Dior and LV, Mei Li Shanzhu does have a big gap to catch up.

However, Sophia has not yet found a suitable brand to acquire. In the luxury goods industry, it is even more difficult to create a brand from scratch, so it has the idea of ​​developing other businesses.

Inspired by some of his dealings with the media during the past few years of running Melisandre, Sophia recently came up with the idea of ​​establishing a dedicated fashion TV station.

This can increase Melisandre's voice in fashion media.

The paper media pattern of the fashion circle has long been finalized, and it is not easy to get involved.

Although there are special fashion TV stations, they are not very influential and are usually just channels that people will skip. No one in the TV industry feels that a TV station that specializes in fashion can do too large a scale.

After all, fashion is far from ordinary people after all.

In Simon's memory, the most well-known fashion channel should be FashionTV based in France.

However, after listening to Sophia express his thoughts, Simon turned on the TV in the living room and searched for a moment, but there was no FashionTV.

Let the woman change a few fashion channels for herself to see. Sophia even broadcasts several channels, none of which is FashionTV.

After carefully sorting out his memory, Simon remembered it. Later, the famous FashionTV, which should have been officially established in 1997, has not appeared yet.

For professional TV stations, Simon does not have the prejudice that the traditional TV industry habitually thinks may not be possible.

When Ted Turner founded CNN, the entire industry felt that it was impossible for a dedicated news channel to make a difference. Now, everyone apparently no longer thinks that way.

The fashion channel must be the same.

The FashionTV in my memory, although headquartered in Paris, France, is a typical global TV station with coverage not much worse than those of well-known cable channels.

This fact also proves the feasibility of professional fashion channels.

Since FashionTV on the original timeline was established in 1997, it can be developed into a global fashion media. A fashion TV station was established from scratch five years in advance. As long as it is operated properly, it will obviously have the same potential.

The current Westeros system also has the resources and capital strength to operate a TV station from scratch in terms of resources.

"This is a very good idea. In this way, I will ask Bob to find some suitable people and draw up a plan first." Simon finished speaking, mainly referring to Sophia's expression, and said with a smile: "You think, if it is only established A fashion TV station attached to Melisandre is just to promote the brands of Melisandre. How much development potential can this TV station have?"

Sophia originally just wanted to set up a fashion TV channel attached to Melisandre. Hearing what Simon said, she also understood that this idea was taken directly by the little man in front of her.

If you think about it carefully, if you are just attached to Melisandre's banner, it is really difficult to have much development.

If Daenerys Entertainment does it and avoids being labeled as Melisandre, this fashion TV station can hope to truly gain the recognition and cooperation of the entire fashion industry. Moreover, if this TV station does it, even if it is neutral on the surface, it will inevitably show a tilt towards Melisandre.

Although knowing that Simon's choice was correct, Sophia showed some helpless grievances due to a woman's instinct and whispered a few words to the man.
