American winner takes all

Chapter 444 Hilton and Kardashian

After parting with the big golden retriever, Ethan took two glasses of champagne from the tray of a passing waiter and walked towards Ivana.

There was a young man standing next to Ivana, who seemed to be telling her a joke, making her laugh.

As a well-known heiress and former professional model, Ivana does have great appeal to men of the same age. This conclusion can be drawn from the way other men at the party always steal glances at Ivana.

But everyone ignored Ethan's existence.

"Excuse me, I need to talk to Ivana alone." Ethan squeezed into the crowd effortlessly. His huge body was incomparable to the thin man. Ethan didn't even need to make any extra movements. The man surrounding Ivana was pushed away.

The other party suddenly looked furious. He quickly straightened the collar of his suit, then turned around and was about to scold this unreasonable guy.

"You are so rude..." The other person's words suddenly froze because he looked up and saw who had just spoken.

So he changed the subject, smiled, rubbed his hands and said, "Ahem, I just need to go to the bathroom."

After saying this to save face, he turned around and walked away.

"You are so domineering." Ivana said happily.

This year, her face is not as round as last year, and she has become more mature and elegant from a xiaolongbao.

"Okay, I admit that I had a minor surgery, but it only involved my cheekbones. My nose, lips, eyes, and forehead are all natural." Ivana admitted it generously.

"Really? Why do I feel like you've made some modifications to your body?" Ethan glanced down, intentionally looking at her E-class laser headlights.

Ivana only felt Ethan's eyes and wanted to bury her face in them. She felt shy but also a little complacent. You know, there are so many women around Ethan, which is enough to prove that she is not bad.

"Do you think I can make it through this year's draft?" Ivana asked.

"Of course you can, but I don't think there's any need to give you a reserved seat. You can definitely use your own abilities to get a ticket to the Angel Cheerleading Team."

"I'm willing to give it a try. I don't want to fail again." Ivana shook her head and sighed.

Speaking of which, this year's auditions will begin next week.

During this preparation period, Ethan will let her stay with Megan and the others as a reserve team member.

Ivana shrugged. “As long as we don’t go back to New York, it doesn’t matter where we go.”

Since new people are joining, it must mean that some "old people" are about to leave.

Ethan has already shortlisted a few names. In a few days, the Angel cheerleading team will hold a "retirement ceremony" in the brand new stadium. In addition to selling tickets on site, it will also be broadcast live on the Internet. In fact, under today's network conditions, very few users can watch the entire live broadcast smoothly, but users can download the recorded broadcast.

This will be the first event at Angel Stadium.

At this time, Ethan noticed Grace not far away. She was the busiest person in the entire banquet. Many brands and their middlemen were surrounding her.

Commercial development is the most important part of a sports venue.

Ethan's purpose is not just to build wonders, but ultimately to make a profit.

In addition to obvious commercial development activities such as naming rights, stadium advertising, and development around the stadium, the most important thing is that brands can deeply participate in the exposure of the Angels by sponsoring the stadium, which circumvents most of the restrictions of the NFL, and most of this part of the revenue will go into the pocket of the stadium builder, that is, Ethan.

Of course, Ethan couldn't keep it all for himself, and would give a portion to his family as tribute, but even excluding these, the potential benefits were still huge.

Considering that the Angels are the new Super Bowl champions, the average age of the players in the team ranks last in the league, and the absolute core of the team, Ethan, is very young. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that today's NFL is the era of the Angels.

Considering the special status of football in America, this part of the revenue is likely to break the historical record!
Later that night, Grace informed Ethan of the brand sponsors that had expressed interest.

Beer, snacks, cars, and credit cards are frequent candidates for Super Bowl ads, and industries with such a wide audience will undoubtedly set higher budgets for advertising.

Ethan's old friends were also present this time, including Wilson, Victoria's Secret, and Bath King Cadillac. The one that was most valued was undoubtedly Victoria's Secret. Not only did Razek attend in person this time, he also brought a new cooperation plan.

"Do you want this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to be held at Angel Stadium?" Ethan frowned.

"Yes, we believe this will benefit both parties, right?" Razek nodded.

"Your idea?"

"No." Razek shook his head: "It was arranged by the boss Wexner himself."

Since Epstein fell from power, Wexner immediately distanced himself from him and fired Epstein.

It is also worth mentioning that Epstein died in prison last month. The cause of death was also suicide, as everyone knows. This moment is exactly the same as then. Although the time was advanced by many years, his way of death can be said to be exactly the same.

Ethan thought for a few seconds and then said, "In that case, why don't we cooperate more deeply?"

"You want Angel Model Agency to be the only model supplier for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show." Razek could certainly guess what Ethan was thinking.

As Victoria's Secret is a platform for the general public, the models who appear on the runway will undoubtedly receive huge amounts of exposure, a benefit that cannot be achieved no matter how many times they walk the runway at fashion week.

From the perspective of the modeling agency, they naturally want to get all of their models into the Victoria's Secret show.

Ethan knew that he was not the first person to make a similar request to Razek.

Sure enough, Razek shook his head and said, "This has been clear since the establishment of Victoria's Secret. We only select the top talents in the industry and never look at which agency they belong to."

From the perspective of the brand, models are ultimately just a tool for publicity. If they are blindly tied to a certain agency, thereby reducing the publicity effect, it would be a loss.

However, Razek quickly changed the subject: "However, strategies are dead, but people are alive. We have a special internal recruitment mechanism. Only those who are recognized by the vast majority of judges can become Victoria's Secret Angels. Coincidentally, I am the head of this review committee."

Razek has received many benefits from Ethan since he met him, and this time is no exception. Moreover, Ethan is absolutely confident in the models he has now, which are the best ones at the moment. If nothing unexpected happens, this year's Victoria's Secret will become an exclusive show for Angel models.

"What will you do if you are rejected again this year?" The best friend couldn't help but joked as she looked at Ivana in a low-necked sequined jumpsuit.

This year she finally didn't have to cover for Ivana anymore, and she came all the way from New York to cheer Ivana up.

"It was my father who was behind this last year, otherwise I would have become one of them last year." Ivana looked at the huge photo of cheerleaders hanging on the wall of the preparation area where she was.

Kelsey, who is in the center position, announced her "graduation" from the Angel Cheerleading Team at a grand ceremony a few days ago. She will retreat behind the scenes and become one of the management members of the cheerleading team. The new captain is Kimberly. She already has a big pregnant belly in front of the camera. Maybe she will leave next year too.

In addition to Kelsey, a group of old team members including McKenna, Belinda, Christie, and Lacey also announced their graduation. Apart from becoming pregnant due to physical reasons, they also had better development and played roles in movies and TV series.

However, some other paparazzi have unearthed some facts that these graduated team members have recently moved to Ethan's home.

At this time, Ivana looked around and felt more and more confident when looking at the contestants around her.

There is no one who can compare to me, she thought happily in her heart.

The next second, a beautiful figure was seen coming backstage, and Ivana recognized her immediately. It was one of the cheerleaders - Nicole Marie Lentz.

With her cute appearance, she made good progress in the cheerleading team.

Then, Ivana noticed the figure behind her, and then she curled her lips and said with some displeasure: “Why is this b**ch here too?”

The b**ch that Ivana mentioned had a big presence. She had four or five followers around her, and five or six bodyguards outside. These bodyguards drove away other contestants and forcibly cleared a large area in the venue.

In the center of the crowd, a blonde girl in a pink striped dress was slowly helped by her followers to sit down in her seat. Then the makeup artists and manicurists came to make the final preparations for her before she went on stage. At the same time, a personal barista served her steaming coffee.

"What a pretentious jerk." Ivana's best friend also looked down on the girl.

As one of the most famous heiresses in the world, Ivana naturally knew this girl who was born in the same year as her.

Last year, she signed a contract with a modeling agency under Ivana's father. Her development path is very similar to Ivana's, but in the past year, there has been much ado about nothing and no splash.

"Shameless imitator!" Ivana said loudly without any concealment.

In the past few years, this woman has been imitating me. When I was a model, she also modeled. When I attended fashion week, she would also join me. Now that I want to join the angel cheerleading team, she actually wants to follow me!

This is really unreasonable!

Ivana was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. If they weren't in a public place, she would have gone up to her and had a fight with her.

However, Ivana's voice also attracted the other party's attention. She turned around at this time, as if startled, and quickly covered her mouth with her hands. The back of her hand was exposed, showing wheat-colored skin from a sunbath, and her fingertips were painted with light pink nail polish and dotted with sparkling rhinestones.

"Ivana, I didn't expect you to be here too? What a coincidence." She spoke in a shrill, highly recognizable voice with a typical California accent. Her voice sounded like strawberry-flavored gummy bears, making people feel sweet.

"Don't talk to me in that tone, Paris Hilton. I told you, that voice makes me feel sick." Ivana said patiently.

Of course she knew that Paris was pretending to be so slurred, and her real voice was very unpleasant.

"This is my real voice, okay?" Paris continued in that sickly sweet tone.

Then, he seemed to be lost in thought: "Come to think of it, you seemed to have been eliminated last year? Are you coming to compete again this year? Then you must do your best and don't get eliminated again."

Paris picks on Ivana's shortcomings and it's clear that the two don't get along.

In fact, in this circle, the two have publicly dissed each other more than once.

"You should think about yourself. I wonder how many minutes you can last this time? It doesn't matter if you are eliminated. I will tell you what I will do next so that you can copy me!" Ivana said with a sneer.

"What did you say? I am the only Paris in the world! Do I need to imitate you? Tsk!" Paris chuckled.

This time her accent was completely different from before, becoming a deep contralto that sounded like metal scratching a blackboard. This was her original voice.

As the originator of the "socialite style", Paris gained attention with her extravagant and ostentatious lifestyle and sensational words. Even though she has retired from the world many years later, she still has countless imitators. It can be said that she single-handedly created a new track for the "rich second generation" personality.

It is worth mentioning that she is also the legendary "ancestor of clip sounds", the first woman who insists on using clip sounds in front of the media.

The two second-generation women couldn't stand each other, and they were talking to each other, with their tone becoming increasingly cold.

"Paris, we are here to participate in the competition today, and there are a lot of people watching around." A follower beside Paris whispered.

"Did I ask you to speak?!" Paris raised his hand and slapped the woman in the face.

The crisp sound of applause spread throughout the venue, and there was complete silence for a moment.

Compared with Paris Hilton, who was dressed like a Barbie doll with blonde hair, blue eyes and delicate skin, the female follower looked ugly. She covered her face and raised her head.

Paris's behavior was disrespectful, but the woman did not get angry or leave. Instead, she continued to persuade Paris.

"Paris, only by winning this game can we make this stinky woman shut up." said the woman named Kardashian.

Then she asked Paris to sit down and continued to patiently style Paris.

A dispute was resolved, and now it was the turn of Nicole Marie Lentz, the angel cheerleader who helped Paris participate in the competition, to feel embarrassed. She and Paris were roommates in Paris a few years ago, and they had a good relationship. Some time ago, Paris got crazy and asked Nicole to sign up for her. Nicole did so because Paris gave her some favors. Originally, people thought she just wanted to have fun, but now it seems that she is serious.

To be on the safe side, Nicole Marie Lentz took the initiative to tell Ethan about Paris's participation in the competition...
