American winner takes all

Chapter 405 Victoria has no secrets (Part )

In the special venue built in Bryant Park, the audience sitting under the T stage was whispering, and as the figure in white appeared, the audience instantly became silent.

"The first one to appear is Karolina Korkova, a new model from the Czech Republic. She has a golden figure as described by Leonardo da Vinci and a face like an ancient Greek sculpture. She is wearing the latest series of Victoria's Secret this year. This is a set of angel-style one-piece pajamas..."

Accompanied by soothing music, Karolina Korkova walked onto the T stage wearing a white one-piece nightgown. Although it is essentially a suspender nightgown with not many design elements, it matches Carolina Her long pale blond hair and majestic appearance are more eye-catching than her straight-ahead sex appeal.

She walked in front of the audience with confident steps. All the audience's eyes were firmly focused on her, and they couldn't bear to look away for even a second. They were dumbfounded.

What's her name?

She is so beautiful!

Is this a real angel coming to earth?

Many people sighed deeply.

The name of the model in front of me has never been heard by the audience before. Although she is unknown, her movements and figure on the catwalk can be compared with today's top models. Not to mention having an angelic face. Such a strong sense of contrast made the audience almost lose their ability to think.

"I have to solemnly introduce this young girl again. She is from the Czech Republic. She has just turned 16 and became a professional model last year..." the commentator mentioned again.

"Ethan, where did you find such a young girl?" Razek, who was standing on the sidelines backstage and observing the audience's reaction, asked subconsciously.

"Picked it up on the street." Ethan, standing next to him, responded. As the catwalk began, his work in front of the camera had actually ended. Regarding Carolina, there is nothing wrong with saying that I picked it up on the street. It can be said that it is purely luck.

"Did you pick it up on the street of Paradise?" Razek laughed.

Although he doesn’t know where Ethan found these young girls, Razek can confirm one thing. Ethan’s vision is indeed unique. Gisele Bundchen, Alexandra, Adriana , Isabel and others are the best proof, and now another Carolina has appeared.

Razek immediately prepared to sign Carolina to become a real Victoria's Secret Angel. He was afraid that Carolina would be signed by other similar brands tonight, so he also gave a good signing price. Although it was not as good as Gisele, it was This is an unexpectedly high price for a new model.

It can be seen that the sales volume of Victoria's Secret is not bad, so that Razek, the marketing director, is quite generous.

"Maybe in a few years, you will have assembled the BIG FIVE of the new era." Razek continued with emotion.

"Be bold, it doesn't have to be BIG FIVE, it could be BIG FIFTEEN, or even BIG FIFTY." Ethan said. He knew that the models of this era are the undisputed number one in terms of quality and quantity in all generations. .

At the same time, Gisele Bundchen also came to the two, and she was ready to take the stage.

Carolina received a stronger response than expected, but Gisele Bundchen was not nervous at all.

"Bless me, Ethan." Gisele and Ethan hugged and kissed.

As Carolina began to head back toward the backcourt, Gisele Bundchen officially took the stage.

"She's here! The vh1/vouge model of the year is here! Gisele Bundchen, the biggest surprise in the fashion industry at the end of the century, Ethan's girlfriend, let us cheer for her!"

It seemed that he was driven by the infectious voice of the on-site commentary, and what followed was a burst of cheers and applause. This was the first time in a fashion catwalk.

Gisele Bundchen is particularly beautiful tonight. She is wearing a tight-fitting nightgown, which is similar to a medieval corset design. The lower body is shorts and white garters, which outlines her perfect figure.

The aura of 1.8 meters is fully expanded. It must be said that even in the most basic steps, Gisele's performance is completely different from other models.

As she progressed, the cheers from the audience grew louder and louder.

At this time, Carolina also returned to the backstage. Ethan immediately told her the news that Victoria's Secret was going to sign her as a Victoria's Secret Angel. She cheered and hugged Ethan tightly as if no one else was there.

You must know that there are many staff in the backcourt. They obviously don't know much about Ethan. They only know that Giselle is Ethan's real girlfriend.

And Giselle is on the catwalk right now. Isn't this another kind of sexual intercourse?
At this time, many people backstage began to imagine what Giselle would think if she saw this scene. No matter what, I'm afraid there will be something good to watch later!

As the third model Caroline Ribeiro, also from Brazil, appeared on the stage, Gisele also returned to the backstage, and at first sight she saw Carolina holding Ethan's neck as if there was no one around.

Giselle turned to Patricia and asked about the specific situation just now.

"The reaction of the audience gave her confidence, and she was provoking you." Patricia shrugged at this time and talked about the scene that just happened.

Giselle, who understood the situation, did not appear angry. She came to Ethan with a smile.

"It seems I came at the wrong time?" Giselle tried to speak.

"No, you came at the right time." Ethan said to Giselle while holding Carolina's waist.

Giselle immediately walked over and took the initiative to snuggle into the other side.

"Honey, I almost made a mistake just now. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have fallen down on the spot. Touch it, my heart is beating so fast now." Giselle lifted Ethan's hand and put it on her chest.

"It's a good thing you left some room, otherwise everyone else would be eclipsed by your light tonight." Ethan said.

This is not to praise his wife, Gisele's performance is already on a level with all models today.

"You're coaxing me again!" Giselle looked at Ethan lovingly.

"Do you like this?" She pointed to what she was wearing at the moment.

"Of course, I like whatever you wear, but it's best if you don't wear anything at all."

"I'm going to change a few more sets later. Whichever one you like, I'll change it tonight and reward you well." Giselle's lips curved into a smile.

Looking at the two people flirting, Carolina did not feel any joy of victory, but felt a little unexpectedly disappointed.

She originally thought that Giselle would be angry when she saw her and Ethan so close, but in fact she didn't react at all. Total disregard!

Do you want to make me angry in this way?

With a smile on her face, Carolina took the initiative to talk to Giselle: "As expected of a famous supermodel, Giselle, everyone looked at you intently when you appeared."

There was a hint of compliment in the words.

Giselle immediately shook her head: "Carolina, how can I compare with you? When I was your age, I was feeding cows on a Brazilian farm. Your talent must be far greater than mine!" Carolina followed suit. Shaking his head: "The so-called talent is only compared to ordinary people, and it is still far behind Giselle."

"No, no, no, you are the best. You will definitely be more famous than me in the future."

"You are the most famous."

"Your big."

Unexpectedly, these two women are also top-notch skewers. Ethan thought.

Listening to the two people's angrily going back and forth, Ethan couldn't help but say:
"Instead of comparing these things that cannot be quantified, it is better to compare things that can be seen and touched, so that we can easily determine the winner. Therefore, instead of comparing future fame, it is better to compare future weapons."

Both of them claimed to be 34C, and Ethan wanted to know who had mixed it with water.

"How can I compete with Giselle? If I win, I'm afraid she will feel unhappy." Carolina laughed and shook her head.

"I take it you don't dare, right?" Giselle put her hands on her hips.

"You don't think I'm afraid of you, do you?" Carolina sneered.

After saying that, the two of them were going to take Ethan to a private place and let Ethan measure it in person, vowing to tell the difference.

"That's enough ladies, you two have to change into another set of clothes. Don't forget that the fashion show has just begun..." Ethan quickly stopped and reminded the two of them that they are still in a working environment.

Making such a big fuss is not just to make others laugh. Besides, even if we really want to compare, it will have to be after work tonight...

The two reluctantly left, and at this time several more models appeared.

"I heard that Gisele and Carolina bumped into each other backstage, and I thought they were going to fight." Heidi Klum came to Ethan wearing a white separates outfit of the same design.

She is the ninth model to appear tonight.

"That's not a big deal, but the words are quite sarcastic." Ethan said about what happened just now.

"You really want two people to compete? How can you be the referee yourself? That's too subjective. You have to add several other judges so that the conclusion can be objective and fair." Heidi Klum had an idea. Said to also participate in it.

"It's just nonsense, there's no need to be like this, right?" Ethan laughed.

"Of course it's necessary, just for fun." Heidi Klum became more and more interested as she spoke.

Next up is Adriana, who appears on the fifteenth. And Alexandra was further behind. Both men nodded to Ethan before taking the stage.

After the first part of the show, Mary J. Blige took the stage to sing.

In the plan, the catwalk is divided into two halves, and this performance also has the meaning of a Super Bowl halftime show.

Although Victoria's Secret has gained a certain reputation at this time, it is still far behind the top fashion brands. Although Mary J. Blige is also a well-known artist, she still cannot compare with the "Britney whirlwind" blowing nowadays. Ethan once I recommended Britney to Razek, but I didn’t have the budget to invite Britney to perform. I can only say that Victoria’s Secret still has a long way to go.

Along with the halftime performance, Angels members wearing co-branded Victoria's Secret and Angels cheerleading uniforms also appeared, led by Kelsey. After completing the work assigned by Ethan, she came to New York non-stop this afternoon. In addition to In addition to her, five former PLAYBOY girls also appeared at the scene. This was their first time participating in an event under the name of Angel Cheerleaders.

Although they just perform during halftime, the sensation caused by the Angel Cheerleaders is no worse than those of these high-end models.

No matter what, the five of them were carefully selected by Ethan. They may not be as good as Gisele and Carolina, but they are still much better than ordinary models. Overall, the Angel Cheerleaders are still slightly inferior to Victoria’s Secret’s luxury lineup this year, but Ethan’s did not give these cheerleaders a huge signing fee. From the perspective of return on investment, the Angel Cheerleaders are better than these Victoria’s Secret Angels. Quite a few.

The performance ended and the second part officially began. The models who appeared again this time were all carrying angel wings of different shapes.

"I think the uniforms of the Angel cheerleading team next season can also be decorated with wings on the shoulder blades." Ethan imagined.

"There was a similar style of dressing up in ancient Greece, and I think it's pretty good." Kelsey next to her agreed, and immediately made a few phone calls to start preparations.

Finally, this year's Victoria's Secret show came to an end with Gisele's finale. Amidst the rain of floral ribbons and fireworks floating in the venue, all the models were invited to the stage to say goodbye to the audience. The long-prepared fashion show was officially over. Ethan and the model went to the party dinner after the fashion show.

In addition to the main staff, the boss, Wexner, of course also had to attend, including Epstein, who was very close to him. In addition, there were some VIP people watching the fashion show.

At the party, Razek announced that sales on the Internet had increased thirty-fold since the Victoria's Secret show. Considering that online shopping is currently underdeveloped and Victoria’s Secret has many offline stores, the actual sales growth is likely to be even higher.

This directly exceeded Wexner's expectations. In addition to Razek's leading marketing strategy, Ethan also helped a lot in this Victoria's Secret show.

As a host, he can attract a large audience and bring extra attention to the Victoria's Secret show, and many of his suggestions have proven to be correct.

The most important thing is that the current pillar of Victoria's Secret is under the banner of Ethan, and neither Wexner nor anyone else wants to fall out with Ethan.

At the party, Ethan was invited by Wexner to sit next to him.

"Ethan, I hope we can continue to cooperate next year." Wexner took the initiative to raise his glass.

"Of course, I also want to continue to partner with Razek." Ethan did not refuse.

Wexner nodded, and in exchange, he also said that Victoria's Secret would also invest more in Ethan's next show, "Looking for Angels," and would collaborate further.

When the conversation was almost over, Ethan took the initiative to stand up and leave. At this time, the party was only halfway through.

It's not that I'm anxious, but I just find it a bit boring here, especially compared to the "Beautiful Beauty" competition that will be held later.

Ethan asked Patricia to notify Gisele, Carolina, Heidi Klum, and Kelsey one by one.

"Is everyone here?" When Ethan got in the car, he looked at the few people already sitting in the nanny's car.

There were more "judges" than expected. Tyra Banks and Stephanie Seymour heard the news from Heidi and also clamored to participate in the "selection", obviously wanting to join in the fun.

Now it was the "contestants" Gisele and Carolina's turn to be nervous.

"It's not too late to surrender now." Carolina looked at Giselle.

"You'd better say this to yourself." Giselle originally thought this kind of thing was boring, but seeing Carolina's menacing look, she was somewhat displeased and wanted to take this opportunity to destroy her. prestige!
