Hollywood Hunter

John Casablanca finished the call soon, smiled and got up and walked over, saying, "Good morning, Grey."

Having roughly guessed the boss's intentions, Grace looked calm and responded with a smile: "Morning, John."

John Casablanca nodded to Karen Mudd next to him, sat down on the sofa, and said directly without too much nonsense: "Knowing that you are busy, I will make a long story short. That's it. Karen's development in the past two years is not It's going too smoothly. It happens that you have some good opportunities here, so what about you taking responsibility for her next?"

Even though there was speculation, at this time Casablanca proposed that Grace still had a sudden change in her heart.

Karen Mudd, who is 24 years old this year, has made her debut for eight years since she was signed by Elite. At the age of 18, she began to receive widespread attention under the push of Elite, and she was promoted step by step to second only to Cindy Crawford, Linda Ivangolinsta and other supermodels.

Then, it all stopped abruptly two years ago.

It is definitely not a simple matter for the fashion circle to cultivate a supermodel. In addition to the qualifications of the model itself, it also needs sufficient resources, considerable effort and a large amount of luck. If Karen Mudd's past has nothing to do with a certain man, accepting the other's agency is actually a good choice. The girl's age is not too old, and she has the reputation of the past, and it is still expected to return to the peak after a little operation.

It's different now.

Grace knew very well that everything she had now was given by the man, and that the other party wanted to take it back again.

Therefore, since that man doesn't like lip augmentation girls, it is obviously not a wise choice to take over such a client and use the resources he gave to help the other party operate.

After thinking about it, Grace quickly shook her head and said: "Sorry, John, I have enough customers now, it is difficult to allocate energy to Karen."

Karen Mudd next to him suddenly showed disappointment.

John Casablanca smiled unchanged, and said: "Don't refuse in such a rush, Gray, you can think about it. Also, are you going to send another batch of model information to Mr. Westero today, plus Karen How about one?"

Grace suddenly felt that this might be the main purpose of John Casablanca.

If Karen Mudd is selected by Westeros, although this probability seems very small, as long as it happens, it does not matter whether the other party's brokerage contract is transferred to her.

Wanting to refuse again, Grace hesitated again in the face of John Casablanca's friendly gaze. The head of Elite seems to be very good at talking at this time, but in fact, everyone in the company knows that he is a tyrant inside Elite.

After hesitating a little, Grace nodded: "Yes, John, but Karen needs to prepare a document for me as soon as possible, preferably before this afternoon."

Seeing Grace's agreement, John Casablanca's tone became more kind: "This one is ready."

As he gestured to Karen Mudd, the girl took out a thick kraft paper document bag from a large satchel beside the sofa and handed it over.

Grace took it and opened it directly in front of the two of them.

The most conspicuous thing in the portfolio is a video tape, a stack of photos, and a resume.

This is the ‘standard configuration’ that Grace will give to Simon the girls.

It seems that the preparations are really adequate.

Thinking of this, Grace quickly scanned Karen Mudd's resume and took out the pile of photos. Then she noticed some differences, and then looked up at Karen Mudd, finally determined.

This girl has apparently moved her hands and feet with the perfect lips she was proud of recently, making her look slimmer.

Grace doesn't know the allusion that the king of Chu has a thin waist and starves to death in the palace, but because she is in this circle, she also feels that the lip augmentation programs of many plastic surgery clinics in recent years are bleak. There has been a reverse operation, just to cater to a guy's preferences and adjust his lips to thinner.

Karen Mudd’s past lip augmentations are definitely not natural, and Grace knows this. So, from thin to thick, then from thick to thin, even if the plastic surgeon’s skills are so exquisite, the lips will look somewhat unnatural and still look like two thin sausages.

Obviously still not very pleasing.

However, Grace did not comment on this, re-collected Karen Mudd's information, agreed, and left John Casablanca's office.

In fact, I was worried that if Westeros really selected Karen Mudd, it would mean that one of the three places that should have belonged to her was taken away, and I was thinking about whether to secretly throw this information in the trash. In the bucket. However, think about the three standard items in the portfolio and give up.

In order to avoid causing too much jealousy from her colleagues, Grace has been very low-key during this period, and the data collection on the girls is limited to a few people she is more familiar with.

Now she was unknowingly touched by others, apparently with the assistance of people around her, most likely the new assistants recently equipped for her by those two companies.

As the world's largest model agency, not only the models themselves, the internal competition between agents is much fiercer than outsiders imagine.

Grace never revealed to even John Casablanca that she actually has three places. She only showed a chance to get on line with Simon Westero and have the opportunity to recommend some girls to each other, so she was able to barely calm down. Responding, otherwise, she knows that at least one of the three places will be given up.

Just back to her office, Michelle, an assistant who had been with her for three years, walked over and said that the photographer of "VOGUE" had arrived.

At the beginning of the month, she appeared at the premiere of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises". After some operations, the baby-faced girl named Qusi Gove soon received the olive branch thrown by "VOGUE". I just want Qusi Gofu to act as an ordinary inside page model first. As long as he can be on the "VOGUE", even if it's only inside, it is a rare opportunity for many models.

Grace did not immediately agree. After bargaining with "VOGUE" for a while, she even revealed some half-truths, and finally got the cover girl opportunity in August.

Today is not to take photos immediately, but just a meeting, mainly to confirm Qusi Goff’s personal style.

Grace had already cared about this.

In other words, it was the intention of a certain man.

In the information sent at the time, the man wrote something on a pure style photo of Qusi Goff, which was sent by someone specially. There were only two words in the photo: LovelyBaby.

Two simple words made Grace suddenly open up.

If the fashion circle wants to be remembered, the most important thing is to have your own style. Qusi Goff’s short hair baby face image has made her highly recognizable. At this time, add a "LovelyBaby" positioning. The label is definitely the finishing touch.

I had a discussion with the photographer of "VOGUE" for more than half an hour, and then asked Qusi Goff himself to do a trial shooting with makeup. The meeting ended, it was already 10:30 in the morning.

The rest of the time before lunch was reorganizing the model information that was about to be sent to a man.

Approaching noon, I dialed a phone that I would not use easily. I thought I was going to send someone to Los Angeles. The female assistant opposite Westero heard her intention to call and said that someone would come to pick it up this afternoon. Grace was keen. Realizing that Simon was on the east coast at this time, he proposed that he could send it there in person, and also expressed that he wanted to talk to Simon about some things.

Obviously hesitated over there, and finally agreed, saying that she could rush to the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich around six o'clock in the afternoon.

The thought of seeing the man again, inexplicably joyous, it is inevitable that there will be a slight suffocation of the heart being held.

However, the good mood did not last long.

At lunchtime, when she received a call, Grace had to rush back to Greenwich Village from the Elite headquarters in Midtown.

Laura Gralf works in an Italian restaurant here.

Since receiving Simon’s face-to-face instruction last time, Grace, who has been intolerable, has stopped being polite to the mother and daughter. Especially in the past month, that probably very busy man seems to have forgotten about it. Originally thought that Westeros would provide Laura Gralf with the role of "Housewives of New York" is also gone. Grace thoroughly confirmed that he may not have chosen a few things about the mother and daughter. A Victoria's Secret Angel came to heart.

Then, the Gralfs couldn't make Grace any more.

The mother-daughter trio signed a special training contract "tailor-made" for them. They didn't have a basic salary. They just promised to provide them with the training they need to become professional models. In addition, they want to terminate the contract. , The total amount of liquidated damages for the three people is as high as 300,000 US dollars.

For the supermodels who have become famous, this liquidated damage is not a large amount, but for the Laura Gralf family, who are destined to never make it, 300,000 US dollars is an astronomical figure.

Now, Grace no longer pays to support their lives, and the mother and daughter must be self-reliant.

After Grace notified Simon of the incident, Laura Gralf got a job as a waiter in an Italian restaurant in Greenwich under the arrangement of the man.

The pampered Laura Gralf was of course unwilling at first. She has been accustomed to the life of a high-class lady in Manhattan. How could she go to serve dishes, let alone the family in Greenwich Village. She never took a look. Stall street restaurant.

Grace is also not welcome, threatening that if she disagrees, she can only move out of the two-bedroom apartment where the family currently lives, and squeeze the eight-person basement dormitory with those newly signed models of Elite.

Faced with this threat, Laura Gralf can only compromise.

Then he started soon.

This woman is definitely not a qualified waiter, but obviously because of the arrangement of a certain man, the restaurant is quite tolerant of her, and, after all, there is still more than 80% of the figure, appearance, and temperament, even if the temper is bad. Some, most of the guests are also considered happy to see.

It's just that something happened after a month.

Grace arrived at the restaurant. A police car was already parked on the side of the road. A corner of the restaurant was in a mess. Two police officers separated the two groups and were mediating.

Quickly understand things roughly.

At lunchtime, two young and energetic male diners saw Grace’s appearance and couldn’t help but tease. When Grace delivered the meal, one of them wanted to do something, but his temper was definitely not good. La Gralf poured a bowl of hot soup directly on the opponent's head.

At the moment, a certain hapless guy has been sent to the hospital, but the other party's companion called out five or six people. They directly disturbed the restaurant and demanded $50,000 in compensation from the restaurant. The restaurant owner knew that this was some gang in Greenwich. The members wanted to calm down their affairs, but the other lion opened his mouth, so they could only choose to call the police.

The New York gangs in the 1990s were still proliferating, which is why Rudy Giuliani, who last announced that he would focus on fighting crime after taking office, was able to beat David Dingkins in the campaign.

After taking office this year, Rudy Giuliani did what he said. The concentrated police force carried out a large-scale raid on many gangs in the Big Apple area, but it was impossible to do it overnight.

When Grace appeared, the restaurant owner immediately stepped forward and complained, saying that he would not accept a certain aunt anyway, and demanded that Grace must be responsible for the situation he is encountering now, otherwise, his future business might not be safe. Go down.

Grace had to call a certain phone for the second time in a day, and only said that she had known it, so that she could do her own thing.

Less than ten minutes later, a few more police cars appeared and took away a group of people from the restaurant. Grace also took Laura Gralf out of the restaurant.

Until Grace started her car, Laura Gralf, who was sitting in the co-pilot, finally stared at her with resentment and said the first sentence after today’s meeting: "You got on Simon West Luo, right?"

Even if no one would take the initiative to tell Laura Gralf, Grace's changes during this time were obvious. Recalling some trivial things that I have heard recently, even if his brain is not bright, Laura Gralf can reflect something.

At the party at the end of last month, Simon Westero was originally interested in her, and he also left his business card.

Then there is no more text.

The news from Grace just made her wait patiently.

The result has been waiting in vain until now.

Almost a month has passed, but his agent has benefited.

As a client of Grace, Qusi Gove suddenly became the new Victoria's Secret Angel and was able to go to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises". This is undoubtedly the most direct evidence.

But she has to be forced to serve people a plate, and some job interview opportunities that were still available in the past have suddenly disappeared.

This is even more hateful.

Bitch!

It must be intentional.

Grace only glanced at her sideways, without admitting or denying.

Too lazy to care about the woman next to him.

Laura Gralf took this silence as a default. Thinking of her tragic situation in the past few months, she finally turned a little bit, but she was snatched away by the woman next to her. She could no longer suppress her inner emotions. Staring at Grace and yelling: "You bitch, you took the opportunity that should have belonged to me."

When Grace heard the words, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she slowly stopped the car on the side of the road, turned off the engine, then turned around, raised her hand and slapped the co-pilot woman's face with a slap in the face.
