As soon as the official website of Jiaren magazine released the behind-the-scenes footage, the number of global reposts reached an astonishing number. The female editor-in-chief immediately increased the inventory and started selling it a day in advance. Less than half an hour after the issue was published, sales surpassed the previous issue, and half a day later it set the highest sales record in the 20-year history of Jiaren magazine. In today's world where print media is increasingly declining, it is a miracle that a magazine can achieve such sales. I think it will be difficult for anyone to break this record in ten, twenty, or even thirty years, unless the fashion world gives birth to another supermodel as charming as Lin Dan.
The issue of the magazine with Zhong Yuxiu as the cover model also sold very well, which was entirely due to her influence in China and China's huge population base. However, the sales of this issue of the magazine were three or four times that of the May issue, which shows Lin Dan's commercial value in China.
After the A.C. fashion show, she did not accept any interviews from any media. However, when she heard her hometown accent, she suddenly paused and answered seriously. She also quoted ancient Chinese culture to describe her catwalk performance. Her words and deeds did not show that she was a banana person who grew up abroad. Deep down, she is still a descendant of the Chinese nation, so she has earned the favor of the Chinese people, and her domineering declaration makes the Chinese people proud. As a result, compared with Zhong Yuxiu, who has always been lukewarm, her popularity naturally soared.
As of 6 p.m. that day, there was no more Jiaren magazine in stock, but the sales department's phone was still ringing frantically. The editor-in-chief greatly appreciated the excellent professional ability of the female editor-in-chief, and was even more glad that he did not adopt the executive editor-in-chief's suggestion to call Zhong Yuxiu back to shoot another cover.
At 8:30 in the evening, the official website of Jiaren magazine released a message to inform netizens that the sales of this issue of their magazine had set a historical record and beat all fashion magazines of the same period. Then, Etlin expressed her most sincere gratitude to her and predicted that she would become one of the greatest supermodels of this century.
Baird and Auston reposted this post one after another. For a while, the whole network was pushing Lin Dan's related videos. Whether in the fashion circle or the entertainment circle, she was the well-deserved focus.
One netizen lamented: [Two hundred million US dollars worth of diamonds have been spent, and three love songs that topped the Golden Melody Chart have been sung, but Lin Dan still has this attitude towards Baird. I am really convinced. The queen is the queen. Even a favored person like Baird is just a mortal in her eyes. 】【After hearing what you said, I think Lin Dan is absolutely cool. She doesn't care about money, power, or handsome men. What do you think she cares about? What else could touch her heart? 】【I feel desperate for Baird! 】
[I surrender to Lin Dan!] Such a woman is a truly strong one! Her performance on the catwalk is not fake; she is just like that. She can be a devil or a fallen angel, but she will never be anyone's appendage or plaything. I like her like this! 】【I'm already fascinated by her, okay! 】
[I like her very much. Being a woman is truly successful if she can achieve this! She doesn't care about the suitors around her because she can live a wonderful life on her own. I think she is very good the way she is now! No matter who she chooses in the end, I support her decision. 】Don’t doubt it, 70 to 80 percent of the people who left these messages are women. For some reason, even if Lin Dan walked on the catwalk wearing extremely sexy underwear, no one would think it was pornographic at all. Although she has just been shortlisted for the supermodel list and has not managed herself much, she has already established a positive image of independence and self-reliance.
The next day, when Zhong Yuxiu learned the exact sales volume of Jiaren magazine, she was completely stunned. She thought she could still suppress Lin Dan for a while, but she didn't expect that the other party's popularity would rise so much after just a sleep. After avoiding everyone, she watched the footage and couldn't believe that the gentle man on the screen was actually Auston.
Watching Auston piling pieces of jewelry on Lin Dan, Zhong Yuxiu's eyes welled up with tears. After a while, Baird appeared with a box of dazzling diamonds, which made her close her eyes. Such a lavish gesture, such a huge investment, such a romantic declaration, who wouldn’t be yearning for it? Who doesn’t like it? Even the most dreamy girl would find it hard to imagine what it feels like to be showered by diamond rain, right? With the help of these two men, how could Lin Dan not be famous? How could the sales of Jiaren magazine not be booming?
Seeing netizens praising Lin Dan as a representative of independent women in the new era, Zhong Yuxiu sneered, "Oh, you still rely on men? What's so great about you?"
Even though she was in a terrible mood, she still had to go to P&R's fittings and rehearsals. Strangely enough, White Wood told everyone in person that he would exhibit all his works at the press conference, totaling between forty and fifty sets, but he only invited 16 models.
Is he going to follow Auston's lead and extend the show to 45 minutes and allow each model to show at least two outfits? Zhong Yuxiu was thinking about it secretly, but she found that except for Lin Dan, everyone was only given one set of clothes. But before that, they had to put on several other sets of clothes and walk on the catwalk in a room covered with green curtains. There were many scanners placed next to them, which kept scanning their body data and gait. Only after coming out of the green room were they allowed to step onto the catwalk.
Such a rehearsal was really weird. What was even more weird was that after Lin Dan finished rehearsing her part, she left with a laptop. Zhong Yuxiu didn't know what she was doing, but she found her and White Wood together several times, pointing at a rendering on the computer and constantly adjusting the machines in the show.
When White Wood talked to her, he particularly liked to look into her eyes, and would often exclaim "amazing", "honey, you are so great", "you are a genius, you know that". From time to time he would hug her excitedly and kiss her cheek, as if he was not a great designer but just an enthusiastic fan.
This was a treatment no one had ever received. It was obvious that Lin Dan held a special place in White Wood's heart. He sighed in front of everyone more than once: "Dear, what would I do without you?"
Lin Dan just smiled, or half-huggled White Wood's shoulders and patted him gently on the back. When the two of them get along, they don't seem like superiors and subordinates, but more like friends who get along very well. If White Wood was not a homosexual and had a stable partner, Zhong Yuxiu would have thought that there was some immoral transaction between the two.
During the five or six days of rehearsal, Zhong Yuxiu's impression of Lin Dan gradually developed from disdain and fear to fear. She could feel the enormous energy hidden in Lin Dan. Even though she was excluded by all the supermodels, she did not look lonely. On the contrary, the more isolated she is, the stronger she becomes.
She works seriously and doesn't communicate with any supermodels. Her always indifferent expression reveals her arrogance and dignity. As netizens commented, what can you do to her when she doesn't care about you at all? In front of such a girl, anyone who wants to do bad things is just a clown.
"No wonder even Baird is her crush! She is really cool, not pretending." A supermodel said to her companion: "I like her."
"Actually, I like her quite a bit, too." another supermodel said sincerely.
In this way, even if Lin Dan did nothing, she still gained everyone's recognition when the rehearsal was about to end. She was no longer excluded and isolated. People began to invite her to get together and have a drink after work. Sometimes she agreed and sometimes she refused, but the reasons for her refusal were never perfunctory. She was really busy, busier than White Wood, and everyone could see it, as if this show was not only White Wood's work, but also her work.
On the seventh day of rehearsal, a model whispered to Zhong Yuxiu, "Do you know what we have been doing these days? Obviously, each of us only needs to show one set of clothes, but why do we have to wear different clothes to walk the runway in the green house? You and Lin are both Orientals, you should be able to talk to each other, right? Why don't you go ask her? All of us have been kept in the dark by Old White, but I am sure Lin knows everything. It seems that in addition to being a model, she is also Old White's assistant."
"I'm not very familiar with her." Zhong Yuxiu smiled awkwardly. In fact, she also wanted to know what was going on with this show. The duration remained the same, there were few models, and there were so many clothes on display. How did he solve this problem? However, even if she was suffocated by curiosity, she would not ask Lin Dan.
At the same time, Lin Dan was also stopped by a supermodel, who was from MOT company, the original owner's former employer.
"What do you want?" Lin Dan nodded politely.
"My dear, I have a piece of advice for you. Don't get too close to Zhong Yuxiu. Do you know why you got fat in the past?"
"Is this matter related to Zhong Yuxiu?" Lin Dan asked expressionlessly.
"It's too big a deal. I don't have any definite evidence. I just heard someone mention it when they were drunk. They said that hormone drugs were added to your diet. You used to look too much like her. In the fashion industry, imitation and plagiarism are both fatal. Only uniqueness can survive. Do you understand?"
"I understand. Thank you for your advice." Lin Dan did not ask any further questions. She and those who had drugged her were already on a different level. There was no need to step on them. This was not kindness, but just disdain.
The supermodel didn't elaborate, just patted Lin Dan on the shoulder and left. After discovering that Lin Dan had a close relationship with White Wood and could even influence the old stubborn man's thoughts, she felt it was necessary to make friends with Lin Dan.
Lin Dan stared at her back, his eyes flickering. After a while, he took out his phone, blacklisted Kong Bangchen's number, and called him: "I heard that you want to cooperate with me? I won't be your exclusive model, but I agree to help you complete M.M's transformation. Yes, that's right, let's make an appointment to meet after the P&R show."
M·M's previous style was graceful, restrained and elegant, which fits Zhong Yuxiu's temperament very well. That is why she served as M·M's spokesperson in Asia for two consecutive years. However, if Kong Bangchen could successfully change M.M.'s style, the first person to be abandoned would be Zhong Yuxiu.
Lin Dan doesn't like to scheme against others, but he won't let others scheme against him either.
