Hollywood Hunter

Once again, when she woke up on the big, warm and comfortable bed, it was dim all around, and Natali Vodianova pinched herself in the bed.

Not a dream.

Feeling the faint fragrance in the room and recalling the experience of the past few months, this place is probably heaven.

Born in a small town in the former Soviet Union Novgorod Oblast, and living in the most dilapidated neighborhood of the city, Natali was brought up by his mother from an early age. She was 9 years old when the Soviet Union collapsed. She was still ignorant and didn't know what it meant. She only saw a lot of people saying that a good day was coming. At that time, the little girl was very happy when listening to everyone talking about the future. Coming.

The good day has not come.

The new Russian economic situation has plummeted, and her mother’s factory suddenly closed down, and she can only rely on selling fruits for a living. She also dropped out of school after the ruble collapsed last year to make ends meet with her mother.

Everyone can't eat anymore, and naturally few people can afford fruit anymore.

Moreover, the material is scarce, and only a few goods can be obtained from wholesalers each time. In many cases, you may not earn 10,000 rubles a day. Now Russia, 10,000 rubles, can only buy two breads, barely letting their mother and daughter eat their food. Since last year, they often go hungry.

Although she sells fruit, she doesn't remember the taste of the fruit she sells. Even if the surplus fruit cannot be sold, it will be returned to the wholesaler when it is about to go bad. It is said that it will be canned.

More than two months ago, my good friend Niya showed everyone a job posting printed in the newspaper. She said that a very powerful model agency in the United States was recruiting trainees, and she was just right.

At this time, as long as there is one in ten thousand chance to leave Russia, no one will let it go.

Even the mother did not object, and squeezed out a little money to help her make a resume and sent it out. In order to take pictures and post it, the mother and daughter did not eat enough in the following days. When she found that many girls around had made similar attempts, she couldn't help but complain about Niya, but showed the recruitment notice to too many people, but in the surrounding group of partners, her appearance was not beautiful, and she was not tall enough. With so many people sending resumes, the chances of getting a chance for them are extremely slim.

The fantasy was looking forward to it for more than half a month, without any response, and the girls around did not get any response, so she gave up.

Indeed.

There must be more outstanding girls in the big cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg. How could it be their turn to be the hairy girls in the rundown communities of these small cities.

When a black limousine that she hadn't seen much on city streets parked in front of her house and took out the resume that she had sent two weeks ago, she almost fainted with joy.

It’s just, isn’t it about recruiting model trainees? How can you become a personal life assistant?

This word sounds very formal, but her straightforward and violent mother can see the essence at a glance: is it actually a maid?

The staff member who communicated with them did not deny it, saying that it is understandable, but she is a maid of a big man's house, so she needs to be nurtured from an early age, and the requirements are very high, not just anyone can afford it.

In fact, neither mother nor daughter hesitated much.

In the current situation at home, let alone the maid, it doesn’t matter if she marries an old man directly as a daughter-in-law, as long as she can go to the United States.

However, the mother was still very cautious in asking how much money she would make in the future.

The middle-aged man who seemed to be very successful said that once he was selected in the future, he would get 200,000 US dollars per year, and other benefits would be calculated separately.

The mother was immediately unhappy.

con man!

Are they fools?

In Russia now, even Yeltsin has no annual salary of 200,000 US dollars.

Um, how much is 200,000 US dollars? She is listening and calculating in her head. On weekdays, many people around us discuss the US dollar and pound, and probably know the exchange rate. The value of the new ruble issued last year has increased by a thousand times. It also costs about 4000 rubles for 1 dollar.

US$200,000 is equivalent to 800 million rubles.

The mother and daughter can only earn 300,000 rubles a month, 800 million rubles, or 300,000.

The mother was probably a little dizzy. She decided that the other party was a liar, but didn't want to give up. Don't make a joke of $200,000. As long as she can get her daughter to go abroad, and she doesn't do those shameful trades, she can do it.

After all, a liar with no strength can't drive such a luxurious car.

The middle-aged person was very patient about this, and seriously explained that he was not a liar, 200,000 dollars was true, but it was not easy for her to get the job. Their boss might end up with only 10 girls, but from tens of thousands of people. Selected from here, he came over today, just to give her a chance to enter the primary election. There are probably thousands of girls entering this stage, and only a few dozen training places will be selected from them.

The mother and daughter were blinded again.

It seems quite reasonable, but what if it is not selected?

The middle-aged man regrets that he can do nothing if he is not selected.

In a blink of an eye, the mother began to test how her daughter could be selected. Sitting on the small stool next to her, she found her mother unknowingly approached the middle-aged man, and quickly bowed her head obediently, pretending that she didn't understand anything.

The middle-aged people didn't wait much. They just introduced some matters formulaically, saying that if their mother and daughter agreed, they could go to Moscow for an interview in the near future.

Moscow.

How to get there, how much money it will cost, the mother and daughter can't afford this kind of travel expenses now.

The middle-aged man smiled and said that all board and lodging at the interview stage will not cost them a penny.

This is a bit relieved.

The tricks of scammers usually do everything possible to make people pay. If they don’t spend a penny, they are probably not scammers. Moreover, Moscow, it is the capital of Russia. If the mother and daughter go together, nothing too bad can happen. thing.

Confirming their consent, the middle-aged asked them to sign an agreement and left in a hurry.

Then I discovered that there were 7 girls in the small town who rushed to Moscow together. Two of her friends, Natalia and Nya, were among them. She felt a sense of crisis and couldn't help but complain that Nya shouldn't Recruitment notices are shown to too many people.

When they arrived in Moscow, they were arranged in a very good hotel. At the same time, they found that this hotel was full of girls from all over Russia, but there were more than 30 in this batch.

Sure enough, all board and lodging are included, and there are no restrictions on ordering meals.

Every time my mother asked the waiter for an extra biscuit, she planned to take it home when she left. She wanted to stop it, not because she felt ashamed, but what if she was found to affect the interview, but found that many people were doing it. I filled my duffel bag with bread, and I didn't say anything after thinking about it.

Russia is at the coldest time of the year.

Imagine the prosperous capital Moscow, but many people line up to buy food in the cold wind.

The first interview is scheduled on the second day after arriving in Moscow.

It turned out to be a medical examination.

It’s not that I have never experienced it. It’s just that the physical examination seems to be too careful. Various items lasted for two days. She was given six blood samples before and after, and even her teeth, armpits and feet were taken. To check, she also found that the team in charge of the physical examination is not all local doctors in Russia, but a large part of them are foreigners who speak English.

Then continue and so on.

Accompanying their children throughout the medical examination, some parents who had hesitating attitudes were relieved and joked in private that even Yeltsin might not have such meticulous medical treatment.

She was a little worried.

Such strict screening certainly means that many people will be eliminated.

I said to my mother that my mother also became worried. Every time I ordered more biscuits, I had to take at least a batch of food back in case it was eliminated.

This time I waited for a full five days, probably because I realized something, the people around me are no longer so easy.

On the morning of the sixth day, another person in charge appeared and summoned everyone to an auditorium near the hotel, saying that the results of the medical examination had been released, and the girls who passed the screening will continue to stay. Those who have not been screened will receive a compensation of 100,000 rubles. And free return tickets.

Everyone is nervous.

But I didn't realize that the result of elimination was crueler than imagined.

Of the 36 girls in the hotel, only 11 passed the first screening, and the other 25 had to leave.

Luckily, she was one of the girls who passed the screening.

Of the 7 girls from their small town, only 3 passed the screening. Natalia stayed and Nya was eliminated.

She didn't find it strange.

Niya is the most beautiful of the three, but she has a body odor. She realized that Niya might be the result when she checked her armpits. Although people don't think about things like taste in normal days, after all, many people have them, but such a strict screening, the big people will definitely not want a girl like Niya.

When the person in charge read out the results, she regretfully hugged Niya, but in her heart she felt that she was missing another competitor. It's a pity that Natalia has not been eliminated together, she... is also prettier than herself and taller than her.

For this kind of result, some people questioned, some begged, and some tried to shame and demand more compensation.

The person in charge called directly to recruit a team of police.

Everyone dared not make another time.

Most of the hotel was empty that day. The hotel owner was very disappointed. The hotel had no business at all these days. These people were big customers. The hotel owner knew everything about the small actions of people who deliberately ordered more food. See it.

In Russia now, the most profitable is the basic daily necessities of food.

Then there was another five consecutive days of waiting.

Someone tried to ask, the person in charge explained that there are many other girls being tested, but the person in charge did not disclose what tests will be done next.

On the afternoon of the sixth day, finally another car came to pick them up.

This time I changed to a very high-end hotel in the center of Moscow. The girls were called into different rooms. For more than an hour, the people inside were asked a lot of common or odd questions.

There is also a video camera next to it.

The girls who participated in the test inevitably became more nervous.

The woman with glasses who was in charge of asking her questions was very gentle, but she did not dare to relax at all. Even if it was the question of what she likes to eat on weekdays, she answered with some careful thoughts. The map asked her to choose one of the three routes between the two places for this inexplicable problem. She hesitated for a while before making a decision, very worried about making mistakes.

In the end, the shortest one was chosen.

I think this can make myself more frank.

Back to the hotel, someone with a little knowledge said that this is a psychological test.

Not too long after this test.

They took another test the next day. The 11 girls were divided into three groups according to their age, academic progress, etc. This time it was an IQ test. In three hours, she answered most of the questions, but she was still uncomfortable. Many questions are quite simple, I don’t know how others answered.

Afterwards, they tried to test other girls, and everyone was tight-lipped.

This time, the wait lasted for 12 days. There were 11 girls, and in the end only 2 remained, she and Natalia.

I learned from the person in charge that there are no other tests. They were selected. The family almost burst into tears. Uncle Yuri, who brought Natalie to the interview, drank two bottles of vodka that night and sang in the room. It was late in the empty hotel, but no one protested.

However, thinking of the words of the middle-aged person who had contacted them for the first time, she realized that this might be just the beginning.

The fact is true.

They changed a hotel with better conditions, and 10 girls who were selected successfully were gathered together again, and the person in charge was changed again. The other party also accidentally revealed that there were a total of 50 girls selected in Russia.

The slightly better news is that they received a subsidy before they started to go through various formalities and sign a bunch of contracts.

Every time a girl who was eliminated at the time left, she would receive 100,000 rubles in compensation.

The subsidy they received this time was as high as 10 million rubles, which is equivalent to the income of their mother and daughter selling three years of fruit.

In her heart, she thought of the middle-aged person the first time she had contact with them. After finally getting the job, the annual salary was 200,000 US dollars and 800 million rubles.

How much is 800 million rubles?

Her little mind has always been unable to form too intuitive concepts, only knowing that this is a lot of money, perhaps enough for her to spend a lifetime.

Seeing her mother count the thick pile of banknotes, she felt that she should have her own share here. She asked for it, but was immediately rejected. She couldn't help but argue, and was slapped a few times, just seeing that the palm was on her head. After the last few times, she suddenly stopped, and she laughed.

Mother is afraid of breaking her.

He is very valuable now, hum.

It is estimated that the girls who are now selected have become baby bumps at home.

After that, she was busy for more than half a month. After completing her passport, visa and various contracts, she also knew that she was going to London soon.

But did not set off immediately.

The person in charge explained that some preparations are still being made in London. They will wait until January next year and said that they can go home and wait. Of course, they can stay in the Moscow hotel if they wish.

The temptation of free board and lodging is still great, and most people choose to stay.

Of course, there are some people who have to leave temporarily, perhaps because the family is relatively large. This time it is only the father and daughter or the mother and daughter coming here, and there may be one family to take care of.

The mother and daughter were alone, so of course they stayed.

Uncle Yuri left Natalia with their mother and daughter, but he chose to leave. The family of seven people. Uncle Yuri is the pillar of the family. It was only during the time that Uncle Yuri lived in Moscow. I have sent food to my home several times, all of which are exchanged from hotel meals. If this opportunity weren't too rare, he wouldn't be away from home for too long.
