Chapter 479 Jiang Lu Extra 1
Recently, the theme of "My Ten Years" has become popular in short videos. As a small internet celebrity with a certain number of fans on the short video platform, Jiang Lu feels that she has achieved some success now, so she also followed the trend and posted one.
Looking through some of the photos she took in the past and some of the posts she posted in her QQ album, many memories began to come back to me.
After resigning from the logistics park in Kyoto, she told her mother that she would not take her last month's salary. She took 5,000 yuan and boarded the train to Hangzhou.
She said she went there with the dream of making a lot of money as a model, but when she got there, she felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over her from head to toe.
“Too rustic.”
"Hair color is not good."
"The image is not good."
"Bad posture."
“Uneven skin tone.”
"No store owner would be willing to hire a model like you to take pictures of their products."
"Are you really Mr. Jiang's sister?" the manager who was in charge of her asked her curiously.
"I am her sister! My biological sister, from the same father and mother." Jiang Lu said proudly.
"There's quite a big gap between you and your sister, and I guess your relationship isn't that good." Otherwise, she wouldn't have been sent here. The other party didn't say this, but Jiang Lu understood what she meant from her unfinished words.
"My sister doesn't owe me anything. I want to make money with my own ability."
"You're quite courageous. Don't think you can get preferential treatment just because you are CEO Jiang's sister. You can only make money if you can make a hit in our company and the merchants recognize you."
"If you were not Mr. Jiang's sister, we would not accept you with your qualifications. You should first follow the model as an assistant and learn well."
Then she worked as an assistant for more than a year.
Only after getting involved in this industry did she realize how far behind these models she was.
She thinks she is pretty, but there is no ugly girl working here.
Standing next to them, I looked like a maidservant beside a young lady, in one word, unsophisticated.
The clothes are dirty, the hair is dirty, the skin is dirty, and the fingernails are all dirty.
She looked completely gray.
The assistant's salary was 4,500 yuan a month, and her monthly rent for the house she shared with others was 800 yuan. She never sent a penny of the extra money back home, and she started spending the money on herself.
Because her hair was tacky, she cut it short, dyed it, and curled it.
Because of her uneven skin tone, she learned how to put on makeup. She bought cosmetics, foundation, and lipstick, learned from videos, and learned from the company's makeup artists and models. Apply it to your own face.
The thing that was most abundant here was all kinds of beautiful clothes. She bought clothes in revenge and bought a lot of clothes for herself.
The model who was with her couldn't stand it anymore and told her not to buy randomly but to buy things that suit her style.
"If you want to be a model, you have to get into the industry first. First of all, you have to not be afraid of the camera. Otherwise, no matter how good-looking you are, if you stand in front of the camera like a piece of wood, you won't be able to take good-looking photos of clothes."
She began to practice taking selfies in front of the mirror and on her cell phone.
Open Taobao and learn some models’ photo poses. Learn their movements and the expressions on their eyes when facing the camera. Practice over and over again, take pictures of them and watch them over and over again.
She controls her sugar intake, takes care of her skin, and learns makeup.
She started wearing clothes, shoes, bags and accessories that suited her style.
She began to look less gloomy. At that time, there were many photography enthusiasts who took photos for people for free or at very low prices.
Jiang Lu began to ask these photographers to take pictures of her so that she could get used to the camera.
In the beginning, she had to pay for the photos herself, but in the end, some photographers she had worked with helped her take photos for free.
The photos taken are getting more and more beautiful.
“You have to find your own characteristics and discover your own strengths and weaknesses.”
She had beautiful eyes, so she began to practice her eye look and expressions in front of the mirror.
She followed the model out for filming. The model was under the lights and the camera, and she stood aside, imitating and learning her movements, pretending that there was a camera in front of her too.
She's not a particularly hard-working character.
Because she saw others making money, she also wanted to make as much.
Jiang Xue played a big role in this unyielding spirit.
Almost everyone in the company knows her sister, and she is an idol to many people.
She didn't know how many times she had looked through Jiang Lai's account.
She wanted to be as sparkly as her sister.
At that time, Jiang Chao was doing very well in his new unit.
They got promoted, received a raise, and were able to work independently. Their salary was much higher than when they were previously working as logistics sorters.
The key is good welfare benefits.
When talking about Jiang Chao, her mother's tone was full of pride.
"How much of your salary have you saved?"
"Send me two dollars of salary every month and I'll keep it for you."
"Spend it all? How did you spend it? Didn't I tell you not to spend money recklessly?" She didn't go home for the New Year.
I stayed in a rental house and spent the New Year with a group of young sisters.
This is also the first time in my life that I have left my parents and did not spend the New Year with them.
On New Year's Eve, she made a voice call to Jiang Xue. I checked the time, calculated the time difference, and made a video call to my elder sister.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
“It’s much prettier.”
Jiang Xue asked about her current situation.
Instead of complaining, she talked about how hard she worked, and Xinji also sent her some nice photos she took.
The feedback we received was all positive.
She also sent these photos to her mother, and her mother said, "The mouth is painted so red and the clothes are too revealing." She was nitpicking and made derogatory comments.
After hanging up the phone, she started working after the New Year and began to receive some filming orders.
These are all orders with relatively low unit prices, and many models in the company are unwilling to accept them.
After deducting the company's cut, she could only get 20 yuan for each dress she bought.
The first time, she spent most of the day shooting twelve sets and earned two hundred and forty yuan.
Before the photo shoot, she made a lot of preparations. Seeing how serious she was, the shop owner cooperated with her and told her in advance the types and styles she wanted to shoot. She then searched for clothes of similar styles and imitated the models' poses when taking photos.
She was very nervous when it was her turn to be photographed. She didn't know whether her poses looked good or not. She only knew that the photographer was frowning the whole time, complaining that her movements were not good enough and her reactions were too slow.
It wastes his time, and photographers prefer to work with mature models because everyone gets commission based on the piece.
