Once again being overwhelmed by Lin Dan, Zhong Yuxiu finally couldn't give up the P&R fashion show because she knew that if she gave up, it would be tantamount to giving away everything she had worked hard for for many years. When she first entered the industry, Lin Dan was very popular. She had a distinctive appearance and a good body proportion, which won her the favor of many designers. In order to get ahead as soon as possible, Zhong Yuxiu had to use the nickname "Xiao Lin Dan" to ride on her popularity, and indeed she got a lot of job opportunities because of this.
However, in her heart, she never thought that she was worse than Lin Dan. She is an ambitious person. The title of "Xiao Lin Dan" is not her glory, but her shame. She knows that if she wants to climb to a higher position, she must step on Lin Dan. She is not someone's shadow, she must be unique.
Fortunately, she soon won the favor of Auston and firmly established her foothold in the fashion circle. In fact, she had always known why Lin Dan suddenly became fat and fell into decline, and she even had a hand in it. She couldn't tolerate having someone around her who had a face similar to hers.
She originally thought that Lin Dan would never recover and disappear from the fashion circle, but she didn't expect that two years later, she would stand up again and climb so high and so fast. It only took her two or three months to go from being unknown to becoming a huge star.
Lin Dan's aggressive approach made Zhong Yuxiu feel uneasy. After leaving P&R headquarters, she even fell into panic.
Her agent consoled her, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Your top priority right now is to walk well in the P&R show. I heard that Mr. Wood is also going to change global and regional spokespersons this year. I'll help you make arrangements. We don't dare to think about becoming a global spokesperson, but we should be able to get a Chinese spokesperson. You are the most famous model in China. If they don't hire you, they have no other choice."
Zhong Yuxiu was panicking again, and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, Lin Dan is also of Chinese descent. The ratings of the A.C. show on the nine major live streaming platforms have been calculated, and China has the highest ratings. Her popularity in China should not be lower than mine."
"How do you know that her popularity is not lower than yours? She has no channels to promote herself in China, and you have been running your business for four or five years. You have to have confidence in yourself." Although the agent said this, he was not sure in his heart. First, Lin Dan and White Wood seemed to be very close. When the two stood together and talked, even Auston was ignored by them. This was not an ordinary relationship between a model and a designer. Second, Lin Dan signed a contract with Auston's agency, and the company had only recruited her as a model and had not had any recruitment information since then. This showed that Auston intended to spare no effort to support Lin Dan. Third, Lin Dan's own conditions were very good. Even among European and American supermodels, or even black supermodels, her height, proportions, appearance, temperament, and catwalk were not inferior at all. She definitely had the capital to climb to the top.
The agent felt more and more upset the more he thought about it, yet he also felt a little regretful. How great would it be if she could have signed Lin Dan back then?
Just as she was daydreaming, the assistant sitting in the back seat of the nanny car handed her a tablet and said carefully, "Sister Liu, just now, Lin Dan opened a Weibo account. Take a look."
"Hmm? Let me see!" The agent immediately took the tablet and quickly went to Lin Dan's personal homepage.
Zhong Yuxiu's already ugly expression suddenly became even worse. She endured it and finally asked, "How is her popularity?"
The agent glanced at her and consoled her, "The number of fans is increasing very quickly, but it's still less than yours. Don't worry, you have 10 million fans, which is not much worse than first-tier stars. It's impossible for her to surpass you in such a short time. P&R pays the most attention to commercial value when selecting spokespersons for the Chinese region, and your commercial value is still higher than hers."
As soon as she finished speaking, the assistant who was checking Weibo on her phone in the back row said tremblingly: "Sister Liu, Mr. Dodge and Baird have also opened Weibo accounts, and they followed Lin Dan the first time."
Auston is so handsome that even though he is just a designer, his popularity in China is no less than those first-tier stars. Not to mention Baird, Chinese people simply refer to him as the "King of Songs". His popularity is global, regardless of region. These two people have received invitations from Weibo many times, but have not opened an account. Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see who they are here for.
As soon as Lin Dan opened her Weibo account, they followed her, and she was the only one on their follow list. Their attention and love for her were beyond words.
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at Lin Dan's comments section and found that it was full of fans' flattery. Some said she was Mary Sue, some called her husband, some said she had the most beautiful face and body in the world, and some said her charm was far-reaching and could attract both men and women...
Zhong Yuxiu closed her eyes and actually had the urge to smash the tablet. She thought she could control Auston and have her way in the fashion circle, but in the end, it was the person she defeated at the beginning who posed a fatal threat to her.
She clenched her fists and tried to control herself.
The assistant was sitting in the back row and couldn't see her expression. She whispered, "Wow! Baird actually liked every message praising Lin Dan! Can he read Chinese?"
The agent sneered, "If he can't read Chinese, he can ask someone to translate for him. Now that Baird and Auston are here, Lin Dan's popularity will only increase faster. I don't understand what charm Lin Dan has that can make these two men fall in love with her."
Having said that, she actually knows that Lin Dan really has this kind of charm. She is proud and elegant on the catwalk, and indifferent but gentle off the catwalk. Some men with strong personalities love this kind of woman the most, because by conquering her, they can get an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
That would be fine, but what’s worse is that Lin Dan’s appeal to ordinary people is also extraordinary. The desire to be strong is the nature of all animals, and humans are also animals, and they are born to like the strong. Lin Dan never hides her strength and ambition, which is precisely the charm that most people cannot resist.
Thinking of this, the agent felt like sighing again. If Zhong Yuxiu had not taken away Lin Dan M.M's position as the main performer, they would not have to face such a strong enemy. If Lin Dan joins the battle for P&R's Chinese spokesperson, their chances of winning will be greatly reduced.
"By the way, this issue of Beauty magazine will be on sale soon, right? Xiao Li, please pay attention to the sales." The agent advised carefully.
The assistant quickly agreed.
Zhong Yuxiu moved her lips but didn't say anything.
The agent knew what she was thinking and shook his head, saying, "Our previous plan won't work. After the A.C. show, Baird's fans no longer have any resistance to Lin Dan. The money we spent on hiring Internet trolls is wasted."
The assistant added in a low voice: "Not only are they not boycotting now, they are also crying and begging Lin Dan on her social media accounts to be nicer to Baird. They have a lot of CP fans. Baird is unilaterally tied to Lin Dan."
Zhong Yuxiu took a deep breath and asked in confusion, "Baird unilaterally tied up Lin Dan to hype up the scandal. What do you think he wants?"
What's the point? It's this person Tulindan. The agent thought so in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud. She knew exactly how Zhong Yuxiu dealt with Lin Dan back then, so she could understand Zhong Yuxiu's frustration. No blow could be more heartbreaking than a defeated opponent making a comeback.
"No one can tell what happens between a man and a woman. Maybe Baird was just playing around with Lin Dan, and now that Lin Dan is holding him back, he hasn't succeeded, so naturally it's new. They'll break up when they're together in the future. Look at the supermodels in the industry, many of them marry into wealthy families, but how many of them marry into powerful families?" The agent consoled him, "They won't have a future, just wait and see."
The young assistant shrank his head back to the back seat and rolled his eyes in disdain. Damn it, they will definitely have a result, they are the most perfect couple in the world! It’s a pity that the official candies are still too little! Thinking of this, the assistant turned his phone to silent mode and repeatedly watched the scene of Lin Dan stroking the back of Baird's head and chin at the A.C. show.
She was enjoying the magazine when her agent told her, "Xiao Li, keep an eye on the sales of Jiaren magazine and give me the statistics later."
"I know." The assistant agreed crisply. She understood very well why the agent attached so much importance to the sales of Jiaren magazine. Because in May, Zhong Yuxiu was the cover girl of Jiaren magazine. As soon as the issue was published, it set the best sales record in China in the past ten years. If Lin Dan's sales failed to surpass that of the May issue, it would prove that her commercial value was not as good as Zhong Yuxiu's. Therefore, this is the best bargaining chip for agents to compete for P&R's Chinese spokesperson.
Zhong Yuxiu looked out the window quietly, seemingly not worried about these things at all.
The assistant opened the official website of Jiaren magazine and prepared to see when they would publish the issue, but found that they had already started promoting the new issue and agreed to broadcast the behind-the-scenes footage at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and @ Lin Dan, Auston, and Baird.
The assistant knew that the cover character of this issue was Lin Dan, but why did the magazine mention Auston and Baird? What's going on between them? The assistant, whose curiosity was greatly aroused, secretly vowed to wait for the official website as soon as he got up tomorrow to watch the behind-the-scenes footage first, but he found that the message was sent yesterday. She quickly glanced at the time on her phone and covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming in surprise. It was 9:58, only two minutes until 10 o'clock.
As soon as 10 o'clock arrived, a large group of people flocked to the official website of Beauty Magazine, and the manager kept his word and released the behind-the-scenes footage of the cover shooting. The assistant quickly clicked on it, but found that the video had been downloading for a long time and had not moved. It turned out that there were too many people watching it and it was stuck. She waited patiently for a long time, and finally saw the complete video after five minutes, and then she was completely shocked! My god, this cover is really awesome! High energy throughout!
