[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show
Chapter 75 America's Next Top Model
Yili thought that the girls' teasing would come later, but she didn't expect the first scene to happen that night.
The time is not long after returning from the nightclub, and the location is the kitchen of the supermodel house.
The girls had their own dinners and discussed their first challenge score by the way. Destiny was very disappointed with her first score (5 points), and she felt that she had gone well.Chiara, who was next to her at the time, said by the way that she thought Destiny's show was too sexy, a bit like a stripper...
Stripper, stripper, stripper...
The first half of the sentence can be regarded as exaggerating people's sexiness-Lao Mei likes to use sexy to describe beautiful women. This sentence is absolutely fine, but the second half of the sentence is really too bad.It's like a girl saying, I think I look good, why have I been single.Then the person next to me said, probably because you are so beautiful, prettier than the girls in the nightclub, that's why no one chased you...
The speaker may not be malicious, but he definitely owes his emotional intelligence! ! !
Who would compare a good girl to a stripper or a lady in a nightclub?This is too unorthodox!What's more, the contestants this time are all female college students. Although there are various schools ranging from prestigious schools to community schools to technical schools, no matter what kind of students they are, there is always a kind of naive arrogance of students in their hearts.Chiara's words were too inappropriate.
Yili and Kate were eating their dinner face to face at the dining table. Hearing Chiara's comments, the two couldn't help but pause as they put the spoon into their mouths. They looked at each other speechlessly and shook their heads silently before continuing to eat.
As for Destiny, who was directly impacted, the smile on her face faded - even though the score was low, but after the first challenge, everyone was talking and laughing, after all, there are still photos It is not yet time to completely despair.But Chiara's words were like a straight punch to Destiny, which made people feel a little embarrassed.This is so embarrassing.
Even though Destiny, like Christine, was one of the members who laughed at Ellie and Kate in the waiting room before, at this moment, Ellie couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this opponent—once the show airs, Being evaluated as a stripper, she almost put a cheap label on her body.Even if she refuted it immediately, some viewers would definitely be affected to some extent.This is an established loss that cannot be undone at all.Unless she has an eye-catching performance in the follow-up games.
Of course, Destiny is by no means the type to swallow her anger.
Maybe she was concerned about the ubiquitous scenes in the supermodel house, so she didn't go back to Chiara directly, but after that, the girls dispersed in twos and threes, and when they talked to each other, she couldn't help complaining to others.
"She wasn't joking at all."
"It's like saying 'I'm giving you a piece of advice' with a straight face."
"Come on, who wants that kind of advice?"
Destiny was very dissatisfied.
Just as she, Nastasia and a few other girls were complaining about Chiara's self-talk in the small living room, Chiara happened to walk to their door.Eli and Kate were watching a movie in the large living room outside the door, and almost all witnessed this scene.
The girls in the small living room also noticed Chiara standing by the door, so Chiara walked in without any concealment, "If you have any opinion on me, you can tell me in person, and It’s not like gossip behind people’s backs.”
Chiara is clearly not a softie, in fact, as the captain of the varsity basketball team and the eldest of seven children (and, thanks to her domestically violent father and runaway mother, she has effectively taken on the role of mother), she is a natural There is a kind of leadership that does not show weakness—maybe a little aggressive, so Chiara’s initial public approval rate was not high—maybe it is also concerned about the lens in the supermodel, Chiara tried hard to maintain the surface peace of mind.
"If you have questions about what I've said, I'm happy to explain it to you. I'm certainly not saying you 'are' a stripper, and I'm not trying to be mean to you, but I'm trying to help you." Chiara still couldn't hold back. , said a little excitedly.
If she says he looks like a stripper, chances are someone else thinks the same.Chiara felt she was right.Like someone got a vegetable leaf on their teeth, doesn't she need someone to point it out?Of course she needs it!
"If you don't need my advice, then I won't say it." Chiara concluded to herself, "I'm going to sleep."
"Okay, good night." Destiny and the girls around her looked at each other, and said to Chiara casually—it's hard to say whether Chiara's words had the effect she wanted, or had the opposite effect ...
Silent all night.
Early the next morning, when most of the girls were still asleep, Yili got up early and ran around the house twice. She felt that she had enough exercise, so she moved out a yoga mat from the gym and practiced yoga on the grass .
She could actually run on a treadmill, but she didn't want to confine herself to a cramped gym.Yili likes to enjoy the fresh and natural air in the morning, as well as the quiet atmosphere when the whole city is not awake, only the tender chirping of birds, which makes her very comfortable and has a kind of happiness of being alone.
"Morning." Not long after, Victoria also came out of the room.She changed into a magenta sports vest and black sports shorts, and she looked like she was getting ready for morning exercise, "You didn't even call me." She complained a little.
"Sorry, I forgot." Yili apologized frankly. She made an appointment with Victoria yesterday for morning exercise, but, "I saw you were still sleeping, so I didn't call you."
"You woke up too early." Hearing Yili's apology, Victoria pursed her lips and smiled. She was obviously not really angry that Yili didn't call her. This is not a stingy girl.
"Fortunately, I feel that the air in the morning is very good, so I can't help getting up." Yili said with a smile.
The two chatted one after the other, and quickly quieted down, doing their own exercises.
Yili likes to do yoga for a while after strenuous exercise, which can slowly stabilize her body.Moreover, when practicing yoga, people will have a feeling of self-discovery and self-communication, a subtle pleasure, and a kind of peace and tranquility of body and mind.
As for Victoria, what she does is a set of calisthenics.It is a common set of movements, not too difficult, but it can exercise balance and coordination, and Yili's physical education teacher in high school also taught it.At this moment, seeing Victoria doing a similar set of aerobics, Yili couldn't help feeling and missing her as if she had passed away.
At that time, whether you were doing morning exercises or doing sports in physical education class—including this kind of aerobics, you could always be lazy.Almost everyone has invented their own set of standard lazy movements, which can simplify every movement of morning exercises and achieve the effect of similar appearance but different spirit.And the teachers are always laughing and shaking their heads beside them, and such a trivial matter is not worth the teachers specifically interrupting these clever students.This special tacit understanding is reached between teachers and students.
Of course, occasionally there are one or two students who are too lazy—for example, when they should raise their arms, they just raise their paws symbolically, and when they should raise their legs, they kick their calves meaningfully—these will be picked up by the teacher. Come out to be a negative teaching material.
Thinking about it now, whether it is a lazy classmate or a tolerant teacher, they all look extremely cute in the vague memory.
This feeling, maybe it is missing.
"Hailey, what are you thinking?" Victoria asked curiously when she noticed that Haili was looking at her with gentle eyes.
"It's nothing, I thought of some interesting friends of mine." Yili regained her senses, smiled at Victoria, and explained.
"That's great." Victoria said enviously, "I don't have any friends, and I don't have much social life. However, with my mother around, it doesn't matter whether I have friends or not. She is my best friend." After speaking, Victoria was satisfied again up.
"..." began, and Victoria's three sentences were inseparable from her mother.
Yili shook her head helplessly, "But, your mother can't be with you forever? If one day, your mother has something to do and can't be with you, just like now, when you come to participate in this competition, your mother can't be with you either." What should I do?" What Yili wanted to say was, if Victoria's mother was gone one day, what would she do?But this kind of words were too cruel for Yili to say, so she could only put it in a tactful way.
"It's okay, I can call her." There was a childish innocence in Victoria's answer.
"..." So if one day, two people live in a world where they cannot communicate by phone, what should they do?Thinking of her current situation, Yili couldn't help being silent.Perhaps, in a sense, she is very envious of Victoria. She can always talk about her mother, and she can see her beloved mother in a month and a half...
Victoria looked suspiciously at Hai Li, who suddenly fell silent, and always felt that there was an indescribable temperament between the other's delicate brows. There was a touch of melancholy, but also a vague hope. It was far away, but very gentle and strong. But very fragile.At this moment, Victoria, who had been chattering all the time, stopped her words unconsciously.
The camera quietly recorded everything on the side.
After this scene was broadcast, every audience member stopped what they were doing.
On TV, the half-Jewish girl with brown hair is ignorant, but the girl with long blonde hair has a kind of clear sadness.
That's not the atmosphere that America's Next Top Model should have—America's Next Top Model should be enthusiastic, enthusiastic, and lively, not the current situation, which makes people feel emotional.
At that moment, countless family members and couples in front of the TV couldn't help but put down the remote control or other things in their hands, and instead held their hands tightly with those around them.
For the first time, cross-fan formations appeared on social networks——
"Norton: silently feel sorry for Hailey"
"Trista: Silently feel sorry for Hailey 1"
"Flora: Silently feel sorry for Hailey 2"
"Dylan: Hayley Road turned fans, distressed 3"
"Julia: Hayley Road Turned Fans, Distressed 4"
"..."
However, this scene did not last long.
Soon, the other girls also got up, came out in twos and threes, sat on the grass and chatted casually.
Seeing that some people didn't take a good rest and got up to exercise so early, some girls showed strange expressions on their faces.
"Look at them." Yi Fang pouted at the two over there, and said to the three girls in her roommate.
"Their brains are not normal." It turned out to be Chiara, who is the basketball captain, who said this. She should also be a person who insists on exercising every day, but she said, "I think Victoria's mother must know that her daughter That's not right, maybe she's the only one who knows, that's why Victoria is so dependent on her mother; as for Hayley, I heard that in the army..."
She didn't know if there was a camera here, but she wisely didn't go on, just winking at the girls.Although the propaganda of the military department is very positive, occasionally there will be bad news about the army.However, Chiara also knows that this kind of thing can't be said in public-it doesn't matter if it's said in private with a girlfriend.
"Who knows." Laura nodded knowingly, evading the matter of Eli and talking about the safer Victoria, "But I also think that Victoria and her mother's relationship is not right. Me and I Mom is also a good friend, and we talk about everything. But Victoria, it feels like she's not ready to interact with anyone other than her mother."
"It's actually hard to say whether it's Victoria or her mother's problem." Kate retorted slightly.
It’s not that Kate really likes Victoria—generally American girls don’t like this kind of obedient girls who don’t grow up, even rebellious non-mainstream girls are more popular than obedient girls—but since Yili is in Victoria now On that side, of course Kate will speak for that side.
"Compared to parents being influenced by children, children are generally more influenced by their parents. I think Victoria is not so much dependent on her mother, maybe in this abnormal mother-daughter relationship, her mother is more dependent that one."
Even Kate, who is biased towards Yili, must admit that the relationship between Victoria and her mother is too problematic.Maybe the two of them are enjoying themselves, but in the eyes of the public, it is indeed not normal.But this is not how Victoria was born, but it is likely that Victoria's mother unconsciously raised her child to be like this.This is the morbid psychology of some parents, excessive control over their children.It's just that Victoria is used to this, so there is no rebellion and protest, and if it is some more assertive children, maybe they will raise objections to this relationship.
"What do you mean? Are you studying psychology?" Laura asked with interest.
"Yes, I'm a psychology major." Kate nodded to Laura. She was very happy to see these girls take their attention away from Hailey-seriously, if they said anything bad about Hailey, she Maybe there is no way to communicate with them properly.She couldn't help but quarrel with them.
"Tell us about it." Anyway, being idle is idle, and the girls don't mind listening to the analysis of Victoria from a "professional perspective", maybe they can hear more interesting points of view.Girls who are idle and bored are not too big a deal.
"Okay." Kate nodded and said nothing.
***
In the afternoon, the transportation car of the program group came to pick up the girls to take their first hard photo, and Johnny was already waiting there.
"Wow, here..."
"It's weird..."
"It's kind of scary..."
"Is this a herbarium?"
Stepping into the studio where the walls are covered with dried animal heads, many girls feel the hairs on their backs stand on end.Some small animals—such as cats and rabbits—were lucky enough to preserve their entire bodies, and they were lying on the wooden frame at this moment, looking at them with big round eyes without blinking.
"If I come at night, I will definitely cry." Kate whispered to Yili.
"Don't be afraid, they won't move anymore." Yi Li patted Kate's arm funny.
However, imagine the feeling of coming to this kind of specimen room at night, well, Yili admits that it is a bit like a classic scene in a horror movie——
In the deep night, the dried animal heads hanging on the wall stared at the people who walked into the room. Their eyes reflected the light of the moon, and their fluffy hair trembled in the night wind as if they were alive, as if The next moment, he would grin his teeth and yell at the person who sneaked in.
Yili touched the goose bumps on her arms, and quickly stopped her from thinking deeply.
Johnny looked at the surprise of the girls when they saw the studio, then smiled and introduced the beautiful lady standing beside him, "It's my pleasure to introduce you to my friend, Shane Graham Si, she is also an actress of CW's hit TV series "New Beverly Leap", and is also your photographer this time."
"Hello." Xia Nei smiled generously at the girl, "I'm going to do a big reversal today, I'm going from in front of the camera to behind the camera. I've been a photographer for several years, and I think that using the camera to capture People's personalities are very interesting."
"..." Yi Li was silent. Was the photographer this time a guest star?And is it a guest who was an actor in the past?It's not hard to understand, considering that "Beverly Hills" is one of the CW's leading TV series.However, since this is the case, we can't expect too much from this photographer.If we talk about the professional photographers in the past, we can also count on them to discover the beauty of the models, but for this amateur lady, it is up to the models to show their own beauty.The difficulty has become higher.
Afterwards, Johnny announced the shooting mission.
The girls were required to poke their heads out of the holes in the wooden frame, play the stuffed animal heads hanging on the wall, and express their wild radiance—that’s what Petrigger really meant by “hanging up.”
Compared with still photos that can use the whole body curves and body movements to express themselves, this time, the girls can only express themselves through head movements and facial expressions, which has to be said to be a big limitation.It can be said that the difficulty is one level higher.
Although it was only the first photo shoot, Yili already felt that the difficulty of this competition was difficult.
After Johnny announced the contest, the girls were taken aside for styling.
"What kind of hairstyle do you want to make for her?" The stylist next to Yili discussed with Johnny.
"It highlights the shape of her face—especially her chin. Her jaw line is beautiful, and her blue eyes. I think there is a lot in her eyes." said the stylist.
"How about this?" the stylist said to Johnny, gesticulating with Ellie's hair, "I'll make her two buns, like devil's goat horns, and they'll be fastened with thin braids. There won't be a lot of broken hair. The look will be sharp, the only question is can she show it?"
"You can, can't you?" Johnny said, looking down at Ellie.
"Of course." Eli nodded to Johnny.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Johnny said to the stylist, and then walked to the next girl with Shane - as photographers and photography consultants, they need to ask each girl's hairstyle and makeup.
It has to be said that in order to express the "wildness", the stylists made a lot of tricks on the girls' heads. Some girls are quite normal, and some are extremely strange.
For example, Victoria, her hair is extra fluffy and piled on both sides of her cheeks, which looks like the Queen of Hearts in the 3D movie "Alice in Wonderland"; An old chicken feather shuttlecock with random feathers flying around; another example is Laura, her head is like two horns of a bull...
Of course, there are more successful models.The stylist assigned to Lila was very reliable, and designed a unicorn bun for her, which looked like a bun wrapped in thin braids. It was very natural and not at all out of the ordinary; Jessie's hairstyle It's also very good, although the stylist boldly raised all the hair up, but it just highlighted Jessie's delicate facial features under the short hair...
——Eli can already imagine that the photos this time are either very good or very bad...
The first to go to the "guillotine" was Victoria.
The guillotine was what the girls privately called that wooden frame.
They were two wooden boards that fit together up and down, and there was a round hole in the middle, about the thickness of a neck.In the beginning, the upper board is removed so that the girls can easily stick their heads out of the wooden frame, later Johnny will add the upper board and the girls' heads will be fixed on this wooden frame , looks like an animal head hanging on a wooden wall.
Seriously, whoever came up with this taxidermy theme is a freak.the girls whispered.
"Try to keep your head up straight," Johnny said to Victoria. "Don't look so uncomfortable. We want to create a twisted aesthetic, not just a twist, understand?"
"Understood." Victoria nodded hard to Johnny in the 'guillotine' where the head was restricted.
"You have a very unique flamboyant style that brings out your weird beauty," Johnny encouraged.
"Okay, thank you." Victoria nodded, trying to find an angle that would allow her to show "weird beauty".
"Next, Yvonne."
Yvonne seemed very uncomfortable with this wooden frame.
In the shot, she blinks constantly, which leads to very few pictures of her being used - most of the pictures are with her eyes closed, which is bad.
"Nastasia."
Nastasia was very open, she showed her animal side without scruples, she even tried to growl, and I have to say, the effect was great.Johnny complimented her a lot.
"Britney."
With Nastasya's adventures ahead, Britney also tries to make some hideous facial expressions.
She wrinkled her nose, opened the corners of her mouth, and moved her facial features freely, looking a little weird, but also a little new.
Good or bad is hard to tell.
"Hayley."
"Ok."
After finally calling her name, Yili stood up from her seat, walked to the back of the wooden frame, and stretched out her head.
"Ready?" Johnny urged, setting the boards on her head. "Show your wild beauty, girl."
"Okay, I will, thank you." Yili moved her neck slightly, and determined the range of her head's movement - this is also the angle she will show in front of the camera later, she must figure out this point.
Yili is still very confident about her facial contours and facial features.Since this shooting can't use body movements, let's make good use of my facial features and facial movements - in the final analysis, it is the control of micro-expressions.
What she wants to show is an invincible beast. Even if its head is cut off, dried and hung on the wall, it is still a free life running on the grassland, not a caged specimen.As said in "The Old Man and the Sea" - can be destroyed, but can not be defeated.This is where human dignity lies.It's an excellent subject if she can do it well.
Considering that this is an amateur photographer, the capture of motion may be relatively slow - it is amazing to be able to take so many photos of Yi Fang with her eyes closed - so Yi Li did not keep turning her head like other girls Turning around makes Xia Nei flustered, but stops at a position she thinks has a good angle from time to time, so that Xia Nei can press the shutter at the right time.
Yili raised her chin slightly, clenched her teeth, and tensed the muscles in her jaw, showing a sense of toughness.
She imagined the free and unrestrained wild life, imagined the persistence and strength of fighting wits and courage with other animals, and fighting endlessly on the grassland, so she lowered her eyelids slightly, letting her eyes meet the camera, without blinking, turning the camera As a cunning hunter, as a desperate beast, try to create a sense of looking down, and try to show a kind of spiritual strength and arrogance.
"What are you?" Johnny asked her suddenly.
"Antelope, an antelope targeted by hunters." Yi Li answered him.
"Very good, showing the alertness and wildness of that antelope!" Johnny affirmed her theme.
"Okay." Yili instinctively looked for an angle, and she turned her head slightly, like an antelope sizing up its enemy, ready to pierce the enemy's abdomen with the sharp horns on her head!
"Awesome! Well done, girl!"
Johnny sat behind the computer, looking at the vivid photos sent by Shane's camera, he was full of praise.
This is definitely the most outstanding photo so far, bar none.
***
"How do you guys feel about your filming?" Jessie, who was sitting in the front row of the bus on the return journey, turned around and asked.
"It's not bad/That's it/It doesn't feel bad/It's fine." The girls answered her sparsely.
This is the first time to shoot, and many girls are still immersed in the tension of the last rhyme and have not recovered.
Seeing that everyone was not talking, Jessie sat back depressed.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Jessie's uneasiness, Maria, who was sitting next to her, asked her—the two of them belonged to the same room, and they were both high school students (one was a Harvard girl, the other was a student at USC). Department of high-achieving students), even though the majors are different, but there are still many common topics in academics, so the relationship is good.
"I don't know how I performed this time." Jessie whispered - in the first round of the challenge, she and Christine were at the bottom with 4 points, which made her have to have more advantages to overtake .And Christine's face is so beautiful, even if she doesn't do anything but stare blankly in front of the camera, people will vote for her, so Jessie feels that she is very dangerous.
"Your photos are already eye-catching." Maria comforted her.
"I don't think it's enough." Why didn't Jessie understand Maria's consolation, she couldn't help but said, "If only I had a talent for hard photos." Don't be like the magical girl who won five consecutive victories in previous seasons Same, as long as it is the same as some people present, such as Nastasia, such as Britney, such as Hailey...
"As long as you don't get out this time, do your best next time." Maria encouraged her.
"But..." Jessie shook her head in frustration, she was worried that she would not even make it through this time...
On the other side, Yili and Kate were also whispering, and Britney and Victoria also talked a few words from time to time, and the four of them had a pleasant chat.After all, apart from Kate, Britney and Victoria belonged to the house of Ely — the other two in the house, Kristen and Destiny, just didn't get along subtly.So these girls are pretty much in a gang of their own.
"Who do you think took the best shot this time?" This kind of topic is actually very dangerous, and it will offend people if you are not careful, but these four girls are all trying to win, but they are not the kind of sour characters. The person who talked, so Kate asked with confidence.Besides, even if she asks a bad question, Haili will definitely not be angry with her~*^_^*
"I think Nastasia did a good job." Britney actually thinks she did a good job, but she must admit that when she was filming, she made reference to Nastasia, especially the ferocious wildness The expression was inspired by Nastasia's rant, "And Hailey, I think Johnny's eyes are shining when he sees you!"
"Johnny has a boyfriend." In order to prevent the girls from thinking of something bad—Victoria's eyes lit up abnormally, she was clearly thinking about her mother just a moment ago—Eli hurriedly emphasized.
"Really?!" The girls were stunned, "How do you know?!"
"..." Yili was speechless, "Didn't you also check the judges' information online?"
To be honest, everyone is an ordinary college student, not an industry person. If it is a behind-the-scenes person such as a photographer, a stylist, or a public relations person, if Tyra does not introduce it, almost everyone will not know it.Fortunately, when canvassing votes before, the program team temporarily provided computers for everyone to use, so the girls quietly checked the judges' information.
Yili explained, "In Johnny's ins, I saw the photos he posted with his boyfriend."
"Oh, I didn't expect to see Instagram." Britney and Kate sighed.
"By the way, who do you think will be more dangerous this time?" Britney felt that the four of them were at least from the security team. During the filming, Johnny's comments were well received. Of course, some problems were pointed out. But overall it's pretty good.So she talked about it generously.This is also the question that the interviewer asked the girls in the previous personal interview, such as what is the opinion of so-and-so, who is doing well, and who is not doing well.
"I think it's Destiny." Victoria said matter-of-factly, "Her expression seemed to freeze."
"I think so too." Kate nodded aside, "When she finished filming, I saw Johnny shaking his head at the computer."
"She doesn't have a good haircut," Ellie said.Destiny's appearance is not a bonus item, it can even be said to be a deduction item-of course, Destiny is not the only one classified as a deduction item-but her talent for shooting is limited, and her styling If it’s not powerful, it’s worrying, “However, I think Jessie is more dangerous.” This is also the answer Yili said in the interview.Jessie is a nice and cute girl, but she doesn't seem to be good at modeling.
"Jessie..." The three of them also sighed. Jessie's personality is very friendly, and she has never ridiculed or attacked others. At present, almost no one hates this girl—maybe her behavior is the same, so she is not eye-catching It's related—but I have to admit that Jessie is really not very good in terms of steps or shooting.
"Look, the judges and the public decide everything in the end." Yili didn't say too much, after all, she also had reservations about the judges' standards for this year, and introduced a more random public vote...
However, after this episode was aired, Hai Li, who had become a prophecy, changed from an "angel" to a "goddess with a crow's mouth"...
Except for a few paranoid fans, most fans actually feel that the latter name is more appealing. This has to be said to be the aesthetic aesthetics of fans...
The time is not long after returning from the nightclub, and the location is the kitchen of the supermodel house.
The girls had their own dinners and discussed their first challenge score by the way. Destiny was very disappointed with her first score (5 points), and she felt that she had gone well.Chiara, who was next to her at the time, said by the way that she thought Destiny's show was too sexy, a bit like a stripper...
Stripper, stripper, stripper...
The first half of the sentence can be regarded as exaggerating people's sexiness-Lao Mei likes to use sexy to describe beautiful women. This sentence is absolutely fine, but the second half of the sentence is really too bad.It's like a girl saying, I think I look good, why have I been single.Then the person next to me said, probably because you are so beautiful, prettier than the girls in the nightclub, that's why no one chased you...
The speaker may not be malicious, but he definitely owes his emotional intelligence! ! !
Who would compare a good girl to a stripper or a lady in a nightclub?This is too unorthodox!What's more, the contestants this time are all female college students. Although there are various schools ranging from prestigious schools to community schools to technical schools, no matter what kind of students they are, there is always a kind of naive arrogance of students in their hearts.Chiara's words were too inappropriate.
Yili and Kate were eating their dinner face to face at the dining table. Hearing Chiara's comments, the two couldn't help but pause as they put the spoon into their mouths. They looked at each other speechlessly and shook their heads silently before continuing to eat.
As for Destiny, who was directly impacted, the smile on her face faded - even though the score was low, but after the first challenge, everyone was talking and laughing, after all, there are still photos It is not yet time to completely despair.But Chiara's words were like a straight punch to Destiny, which made people feel a little embarrassed.This is so embarrassing.
Even though Destiny, like Christine, was one of the members who laughed at Ellie and Kate in the waiting room before, at this moment, Ellie couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this opponent—once the show airs, Being evaluated as a stripper, she almost put a cheap label on her body.Even if she refuted it immediately, some viewers would definitely be affected to some extent.This is an established loss that cannot be undone at all.Unless she has an eye-catching performance in the follow-up games.
Of course, Destiny is by no means the type to swallow her anger.
Maybe she was concerned about the ubiquitous scenes in the supermodel house, so she didn't go back to Chiara directly, but after that, the girls dispersed in twos and threes, and when they talked to each other, she couldn't help complaining to others.
"She wasn't joking at all."
"It's like saying 'I'm giving you a piece of advice' with a straight face."
"Come on, who wants that kind of advice?"
Destiny was very dissatisfied.
Just as she, Nastasia and a few other girls were complaining about Chiara's self-talk in the small living room, Chiara happened to walk to their door.Eli and Kate were watching a movie in the large living room outside the door, and almost all witnessed this scene.
The girls in the small living room also noticed Chiara standing by the door, so Chiara walked in without any concealment, "If you have any opinion on me, you can tell me in person, and It’s not like gossip behind people’s backs.”
Chiara is clearly not a softie, in fact, as the captain of the varsity basketball team and the eldest of seven children (and, thanks to her domestically violent father and runaway mother, she has effectively taken on the role of mother), she is a natural There is a kind of leadership that does not show weakness—maybe a little aggressive, so Chiara’s initial public approval rate was not high—maybe it is also concerned about the lens in the supermodel, Chiara tried hard to maintain the surface peace of mind.
"If you have questions about what I've said, I'm happy to explain it to you. I'm certainly not saying you 'are' a stripper, and I'm not trying to be mean to you, but I'm trying to help you." Chiara still couldn't hold back. , said a little excitedly.
If she says he looks like a stripper, chances are someone else thinks the same.Chiara felt she was right.Like someone got a vegetable leaf on their teeth, doesn't she need someone to point it out?Of course she needs it!
"If you don't need my advice, then I won't say it." Chiara concluded to herself, "I'm going to sleep."
"Okay, good night." Destiny and the girls around her looked at each other, and said to Chiara casually—it's hard to say whether Chiara's words had the effect she wanted, or had the opposite effect ...
Silent all night.
Early the next morning, when most of the girls were still asleep, Yili got up early and ran around the house twice. She felt that she had enough exercise, so she moved out a yoga mat from the gym and practiced yoga on the grass .
She could actually run on a treadmill, but she didn't want to confine herself to a cramped gym.Yili likes to enjoy the fresh and natural air in the morning, as well as the quiet atmosphere when the whole city is not awake, only the tender chirping of birds, which makes her very comfortable and has a kind of happiness of being alone.
"Morning." Not long after, Victoria also came out of the room.She changed into a magenta sports vest and black sports shorts, and she looked like she was getting ready for morning exercise, "You didn't even call me." She complained a little.
"Sorry, I forgot." Yili apologized frankly. She made an appointment with Victoria yesterday for morning exercise, but, "I saw you were still sleeping, so I didn't call you."
"You woke up too early." Hearing Yili's apology, Victoria pursed her lips and smiled. She was obviously not really angry that Yili didn't call her. This is not a stingy girl.
"Fortunately, I feel that the air in the morning is very good, so I can't help getting up." Yili said with a smile.
The two chatted one after the other, and quickly quieted down, doing their own exercises.
Yili likes to do yoga for a while after strenuous exercise, which can slowly stabilize her body.Moreover, when practicing yoga, people will have a feeling of self-discovery and self-communication, a subtle pleasure, and a kind of peace and tranquility of body and mind.
As for Victoria, what she does is a set of calisthenics.It is a common set of movements, not too difficult, but it can exercise balance and coordination, and Yili's physical education teacher in high school also taught it.At this moment, seeing Victoria doing a similar set of aerobics, Yili couldn't help feeling and missing her as if she had passed away.
At that time, whether you were doing morning exercises or doing sports in physical education class—including this kind of aerobics, you could always be lazy.Almost everyone has invented their own set of standard lazy movements, which can simplify every movement of morning exercises and achieve the effect of similar appearance but different spirit.And the teachers are always laughing and shaking their heads beside them, and such a trivial matter is not worth the teachers specifically interrupting these clever students.This special tacit understanding is reached between teachers and students.
Of course, occasionally there are one or two students who are too lazy—for example, when they should raise their arms, they just raise their paws symbolically, and when they should raise their legs, they kick their calves meaningfully—these will be picked up by the teacher. Come out to be a negative teaching material.
Thinking about it now, whether it is a lazy classmate or a tolerant teacher, they all look extremely cute in the vague memory.
This feeling, maybe it is missing.
"Hailey, what are you thinking?" Victoria asked curiously when she noticed that Haili was looking at her with gentle eyes.
"It's nothing, I thought of some interesting friends of mine." Yili regained her senses, smiled at Victoria, and explained.
"That's great." Victoria said enviously, "I don't have any friends, and I don't have much social life. However, with my mother around, it doesn't matter whether I have friends or not. She is my best friend." After speaking, Victoria was satisfied again up.
"..." began, and Victoria's three sentences were inseparable from her mother.
Yili shook her head helplessly, "But, your mother can't be with you forever? If one day, your mother has something to do and can't be with you, just like now, when you come to participate in this competition, your mother can't be with you either." What should I do?" What Yili wanted to say was, if Victoria's mother was gone one day, what would she do?But this kind of words were too cruel for Yili to say, so she could only put it in a tactful way.
"It's okay, I can call her." There was a childish innocence in Victoria's answer.
"..." So if one day, two people live in a world where they cannot communicate by phone, what should they do?Thinking of her current situation, Yili couldn't help being silent.Perhaps, in a sense, she is very envious of Victoria. She can always talk about her mother, and she can see her beloved mother in a month and a half...
Victoria looked suspiciously at Hai Li, who suddenly fell silent, and always felt that there was an indescribable temperament between the other's delicate brows. There was a touch of melancholy, but also a vague hope. It was far away, but very gentle and strong. But very fragile.At this moment, Victoria, who had been chattering all the time, stopped her words unconsciously.
The camera quietly recorded everything on the side.
After this scene was broadcast, every audience member stopped what they were doing.
On TV, the half-Jewish girl with brown hair is ignorant, but the girl with long blonde hair has a kind of clear sadness.
That's not the atmosphere that America's Next Top Model should have—America's Next Top Model should be enthusiastic, enthusiastic, and lively, not the current situation, which makes people feel emotional.
At that moment, countless family members and couples in front of the TV couldn't help but put down the remote control or other things in their hands, and instead held their hands tightly with those around them.
For the first time, cross-fan formations appeared on social networks——
"Norton: silently feel sorry for Hailey"
"Trista: Silently feel sorry for Hailey 1"
"Flora: Silently feel sorry for Hailey 2"
"Dylan: Hayley Road turned fans, distressed 3"
"Julia: Hayley Road Turned Fans, Distressed 4"
"..."
However, this scene did not last long.
Soon, the other girls also got up, came out in twos and threes, sat on the grass and chatted casually.
Seeing that some people didn't take a good rest and got up to exercise so early, some girls showed strange expressions on their faces.
"Look at them." Yi Fang pouted at the two over there, and said to the three girls in her roommate.
"Their brains are not normal." It turned out to be Chiara, who is the basketball captain, who said this. She should also be a person who insists on exercising every day, but she said, "I think Victoria's mother must know that her daughter That's not right, maybe she's the only one who knows, that's why Victoria is so dependent on her mother; as for Hayley, I heard that in the army..."
She didn't know if there was a camera here, but she wisely didn't go on, just winking at the girls.Although the propaganda of the military department is very positive, occasionally there will be bad news about the army.However, Chiara also knows that this kind of thing can't be said in public-it doesn't matter if it's said in private with a girlfriend.
"Who knows." Laura nodded knowingly, evading the matter of Eli and talking about the safer Victoria, "But I also think that Victoria and her mother's relationship is not right. Me and I Mom is also a good friend, and we talk about everything. But Victoria, it feels like she's not ready to interact with anyone other than her mother."
"It's actually hard to say whether it's Victoria or her mother's problem." Kate retorted slightly.
It’s not that Kate really likes Victoria—generally American girls don’t like this kind of obedient girls who don’t grow up, even rebellious non-mainstream girls are more popular than obedient girls—but since Yili is in Victoria now On that side, of course Kate will speak for that side.
"Compared to parents being influenced by children, children are generally more influenced by their parents. I think Victoria is not so much dependent on her mother, maybe in this abnormal mother-daughter relationship, her mother is more dependent that one."
Even Kate, who is biased towards Yili, must admit that the relationship between Victoria and her mother is too problematic.Maybe the two of them are enjoying themselves, but in the eyes of the public, it is indeed not normal.But this is not how Victoria was born, but it is likely that Victoria's mother unconsciously raised her child to be like this.This is the morbid psychology of some parents, excessive control over their children.It's just that Victoria is used to this, so there is no rebellion and protest, and if it is some more assertive children, maybe they will raise objections to this relationship.
"What do you mean? Are you studying psychology?" Laura asked with interest.
"Yes, I'm a psychology major." Kate nodded to Laura. She was very happy to see these girls take their attention away from Hailey-seriously, if they said anything bad about Hailey, she Maybe there is no way to communicate with them properly.She couldn't help but quarrel with them.
"Tell us about it." Anyway, being idle is idle, and the girls don't mind listening to the analysis of Victoria from a "professional perspective", maybe they can hear more interesting points of view.Girls who are idle and bored are not too big a deal.
"Okay." Kate nodded and said nothing.
***
In the afternoon, the transportation car of the program group came to pick up the girls to take their first hard photo, and Johnny was already waiting there.
"Wow, here..."
"It's weird..."
"It's kind of scary..."
"Is this a herbarium?"
Stepping into the studio where the walls are covered with dried animal heads, many girls feel the hairs on their backs stand on end.Some small animals—such as cats and rabbits—were lucky enough to preserve their entire bodies, and they were lying on the wooden frame at this moment, looking at them with big round eyes without blinking.
"If I come at night, I will definitely cry." Kate whispered to Yili.
"Don't be afraid, they won't move anymore." Yi Li patted Kate's arm funny.
However, imagine the feeling of coming to this kind of specimen room at night, well, Yili admits that it is a bit like a classic scene in a horror movie——
In the deep night, the dried animal heads hanging on the wall stared at the people who walked into the room. Their eyes reflected the light of the moon, and their fluffy hair trembled in the night wind as if they were alive, as if The next moment, he would grin his teeth and yell at the person who sneaked in.
Yili touched the goose bumps on her arms, and quickly stopped her from thinking deeply.
Johnny looked at the surprise of the girls when they saw the studio, then smiled and introduced the beautiful lady standing beside him, "It's my pleasure to introduce you to my friend, Shane Graham Si, she is also an actress of CW's hit TV series "New Beverly Leap", and is also your photographer this time."
"Hello." Xia Nei smiled generously at the girl, "I'm going to do a big reversal today, I'm going from in front of the camera to behind the camera. I've been a photographer for several years, and I think that using the camera to capture People's personalities are very interesting."
"..." Yi Li was silent. Was the photographer this time a guest star?And is it a guest who was an actor in the past?It's not hard to understand, considering that "Beverly Hills" is one of the CW's leading TV series.However, since this is the case, we can't expect too much from this photographer.If we talk about the professional photographers in the past, we can also count on them to discover the beauty of the models, but for this amateur lady, it is up to the models to show their own beauty.The difficulty has become higher.
Afterwards, Johnny announced the shooting mission.
The girls were required to poke their heads out of the holes in the wooden frame, play the stuffed animal heads hanging on the wall, and express their wild radiance—that’s what Petrigger really meant by “hanging up.”
Compared with still photos that can use the whole body curves and body movements to express themselves, this time, the girls can only express themselves through head movements and facial expressions, which has to be said to be a big limitation.It can be said that the difficulty is one level higher.
Although it was only the first photo shoot, Yili already felt that the difficulty of this competition was difficult.
After Johnny announced the contest, the girls were taken aside for styling.
"What kind of hairstyle do you want to make for her?" The stylist next to Yili discussed with Johnny.
"It highlights the shape of her face—especially her chin. Her jaw line is beautiful, and her blue eyes. I think there is a lot in her eyes." said the stylist.
"How about this?" the stylist said to Johnny, gesticulating with Ellie's hair, "I'll make her two buns, like devil's goat horns, and they'll be fastened with thin braids. There won't be a lot of broken hair. The look will be sharp, the only question is can she show it?"
"You can, can't you?" Johnny said, looking down at Ellie.
"Of course." Eli nodded to Johnny.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Johnny said to the stylist, and then walked to the next girl with Shane - as photographers and photography consultants, they need to ask each girl's hairstyle and makeup.
It has to be said that in order to express the "wildness", the stylists made a lot of tricks on the girls' heads. Some girls are quite normal, and some are extremely strange.
For example, Victoria, her hair is extra fluffy and piled on both sides of her cheeks, which looks like the Queen of Hearts in the 3D movie "Alice in Wonderland"; An old chicken feather shuttlecock with random feathers flying around; another example is Laura, her head is like two horns of a bull...
Of course, there are more successful models.The stylist assigned to Lila was very reliable, and designed a unicorn bun for her, which looked like a bun wrapped in thin braids. It was very natural and not at all out of the ordinary; Jessie's hairstyle It's also very good, although the stylist boldly raised all the hair up, but it just highlighted Jessie's delicate facial features under the short hair...
——Eli can already imagine that the photos this time are either very good or very bad...
The first to go to the "guillotine" was Victoria.
The guillotine was what the girls privately called that wooden frame.
They were two wooden boards that fit together up and down, and there was a round hole in the middle, about the thickness of a neck.In the beginning, the upper board is removed so that the girls can easily stick their heads out of the wooden frame, later Johnny will add the upper board and the girls' heads will be fixed on this wooden frame , looks like an animal head hanging on a wooden wall.
Seriously, whoever came up with this taxidermy theme is a freak.the girls whispered.
"Try to keep your head up straight," Johnny said to Victoria. "Don't look so uncomfortable. We want to create a twisted aesthetic, not just a twist, understand?"
"Understood." Victoria nodded hard to Johnny in the 'guillotine' where the head was restricted.
"You have a very unique flamboyant style that brings out your weird beauty," Johnny encouraged.
"Okay, thank you." Victoria nodded, trying to find an angle that would allow her to show "weird beauty".
"Next, Yvonne."
Yvonne seemed very uncomfortable with this wooden frame.
In the shot, she blinks constantly, which leads to very few pictures of her being used - most of the pictures are with her eyes closed, which is bad.
"Nastasia."
Nastasia was very open, she showed her animal side without scruples, she even tried to growl, and I have to say, the effect was great.Johnny complimented her a lot.
"Britney."
With Nastasya's adventures ahead, Britney also tries to make some hideous facial expressions.
She wrinkled her nose, opened the corners of her mouth, and moved her facial features freely, looking a little weird, but also a little new.
Good or bad is hard to tell.
"Hayley."
"Ok."
After finally calling her name, Yili stood up from her seat, walked to the back of the wooden frame, and stretched out her head.
"Ready?" Johnny urged, setting the boards on her head. "Show your wild beauty, girl."
"Okay, I will, thank you." Yili moved her neck slightly, and determined the range of her head's movement - this is also the angle she will show in front of the camera later, she must figure out this point.
Yili is still very confident about her facial contours and facial features.Since this shooting can't use body movements, let's make good use of my facial features and facial movements - in the final analysis, it is the control of micro-expressions.
What she wants to show is an invincible beast. Even if its head is cut off, dried and hung on the wall, it is still a free life running on the grassland, not a caged specimen.As said in "The Old Man and the Sea" - can be destroyed, but can not be defeated.This is where human dignity lies.It's an excellent subject if she can do it well.
Considering that this is an amateur photographer, the capture of motion may be relatively slow - it is amazing to be able to take so many photos of Yi Fang with her eyes closed - so Yi Li did not keep turning her head like other girls Turning around makes Xia Nei flustered, but stops at a position she thinks has a good angle from time to time, so that Xia Nei can press the shutter at the right time.
Yili raised her chin slightly, clenched her teeth, and tensed the muscles in her jaw, showing a sense of toughness.
She imagined the free and unrestrained wild life, imagined the persistence and strength of fighting wits and courage with other animals, and fighting endlessly on the grassland, so she lowered her eyelids slightly, letting her eyes meet the camera, without blinking, turning the camera As a cunning hunter, as a desperate beast, try to create a sense of looking down, and try to show a kind of spiritual strength and arrogance.
"What are you?" Johnny asked her suddenly.
"Antelope, an antelope targeted by hunters." Yi Li answered him.
"Very good, showing the alertness and wildness of that antelope!" Johnny affirmed her theme.
"Okay." Yili instinctively looked for an angle, and she turned her head slightly, like an antelope sizing up its enemy, ready to pierce the enemy's abdomen with the sharp horns on her head!
"Awesome! Well done, girl!"
Johnny sat behind the computer, looking at the vivid photos sent by Shane's camera, he was full of praise.
This is definitely the most outstanding photo so far, bar none.
***
"How do you guys feel about your filming?" Jessie, who was sitting in the front row of the bus on the return journey, turned around and asked.
"It's not bad/That's it/It doesn't feel bad/It's fine." The girls answered her sparsely.
This is the first time to shoot, and many girls are still immersed in the tension of the last rhyme and have not recovered.
Seeing that everyone was not talking, Jessie sat back depressed.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Jessie's uneasiness, Maria, who was sitting next to her, asked her—the two of them belonged to the same room, and they were both high school students (one was a Harvard girl, the other was a student at USC). Department of high-achieving students), even though the majors are different, but there are still many common topics in academics, so the relationship is good.
"I don't know how I performed this time." Jessie whispered - in the first round of the challenge, she and Christine were at the bottom with 4 points, which made her have to have more advantages to overtake .And Christine's face is so beautiful, even if she doesn't do anything but stare blankly in front of the camera, people will vote for her, so Jessie feels that she is very dangerous.
"Your photos are already eye-catching." Maria comforted her.
"I don't think it's enough." Why didn't Jessie understand Maria's consolation, she couldn't help but said, "If only I had a talent for hard photos." Don't be like the magical girl who won five consecutive victories in previous seasons Same, as long as it is the same as some people present, such as Nastasia, such as Britney, such as Hailey...
"As long as you don't get out this time, do your best next time." Maria encouraged her.
"But..." Jessie shook her head in frustration, she was worried that she would not even make it through this time...
On the other side, Yili and Kate were also whispering, and Britney and Victoria also talked a few words from time to time, and the four of them had a pleasant chat.After all, apart from Kate, Britney and Victoria belonged to the house of Ely — the other two in the house, Kristen and Destiny, just didn't get along subtly.So these girls are pretty much in a gang of their own.
"Who do you think took the best shot this time?" This kind of topic is actually very dangerous, and it will offend people if you are not careful, but these four girls are all trying to win, but they are not the kind of sour characters. The person who talked, so Kate asked with confidence.Besides, even if she asks a bad question, Haili will definitely not be angry with her~*^_^*
"I think Nastasia did a good job." Britney actually thinks she did a good job, but she must admit that when she was filming, she made reference to Nastasia, especially the ferocious wildness The expression was inspired by Nastasia's rant, "And Hailey, I think Johnny's eyes are shining when he sees you!"
"Johnny has a boyfriend." In order to prevent the girls from thinking of something bad—Victoria's eyes lit up abnormally, she was clearly thinking about her mother just a moment ago—Eli hurriedly emphasized.
"Really?!" The girls were stunned, "How do you know?!"
"..." Yili was speechless, "Didn't you also check the judges' information online?"
To be honest, everyone is an ordinary college student, not an industry person. If it is a behind-the-scenes person such as a photographer, a stylist, or a public relations person, if Tyra does not introduce it, almost everyone will not know it.Fortunately, when canvassing votes before, the program team temporarily provided computers for everyone to use, so the girls quietly checked the judges' information.
Yili explained, "In Johnny's ins, I saw the photos he posted with his boyfriend."
"Oh, I didn't expect to see Instagram." Britney and Kate sighed.
"By the way, who do you think will be more dangerous this time?" Britney felt that the four of them were at least from the security team. During the filming, Johnny's comments were well received. Of course, some problems were pointed out. But overall it's pretty good.So she talked about it generously.This is also the question that the interviewer asked the girls in the previous personal interview, such as what is the opinion of so-and-so, who is doing well, and who is not doing well.
"I think it's Destiny." Victoria said matter-of-factly, "Her expression seemed to freeze."
"I think so too." Kate nodded aside, "When she finished filming, I saw Johnny shaking his head at the computer."
"She doesn't have a good haircut," Ellie said.Destiny's appearance is not a bonus item, it can even be said to be a deduction item-of course, Destiny is not the only one classified as a deduction item-but her talent for shooting is limited, and her styling If it’s not powerful, it’s worrying, “However, I think Jessie is more dangerous.” This is also the answer Yili said in the interview.Jessie is a nice and cute girl, but she doesn't seem to be good at modeling.
"Jessie..." The three of them also sighed. Jessie's personality is very friendly, and she has never ridiculed or attacked others. At present, almost no one hates this girl—maybe her behavior is the same, so she is not eye-catching It's related—but I have to admit that Jessie is really not very good in terms of steps or shooting.
"Look, the judges and the public decide everything in the end." Yili didn't say too much, after all, she also had reservations about the judges' standards for this year, and introduced a more random public vote...
However, after this episode was aired, Hai Li, who had become a prophecy, changed from an "angel" to a "goddess with a crow's mouth"...
Except for a few paranoid fans, most fans actually feel that the latter name is more appealing. This has to be said to be the aesthetic aesthetics of fans...
