"It's been a century since the game ended. God, Bambi, are you okay?" The short and hurried words revealed the inner tension and fragility, even though there were thousands of mountains and rivers between the phone lines, Lu Ke could also imagine the worry and concern on that face. After just a moment's pause, the voice on the other end of the phone came again, "Bambi?"
"Tangtang, I'm fine." Lu Ke laughed dumbly, but he still cleared his throat and replied seriously in the affirmative.
The text message just came from Candice Swanepoel. Her English name is "candie", so "candy" became her nickname, just like Lu Ke's "Bambi".
"Are you sure?" Candice breathed a sigh of relief, but her nervousness was still not completely relieved. "During the live broadcast of the game, those few impacts looked really fierce; have you been examined by a doctor? I I think you’d better do a thorough check-up to make sure you’re okay.”
Lu Ke leaned against the locker, his body muscles relaxed a little, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Believe me, I will take care of myself."
"Yes, you have to take care of yourself." Candice sighed softly, with a hint of worry in her words, "For us, no one cares about us except ourselves; we have to take care of ourselves. Be good to yourself. Only in this way can you keep persevering and realize your dreams."
Working hard in a foreign country, gaining a foothold in a fierce workplace, surviving in a prosperous city, facing higher challenges and more opportunities, they can gain more, but at the same time they must pay more. But the premise of everything is that they must learn to take care of themselves, because on the road to chasing their dreams, they are all lonely, walking alone and struggling.
She is like this, and so is he. Occasionally, you are lucky to meet someone who walks side by side with you.
Candice raised her right hand, ran it through her hair, and then scratched it irritably, "Bambi, I know that in competitive sports, it is impossible not to get injured; but, promise me, once the body is really I protested, don’t force it. Take a good rest and relax, you told me this. If you want to go to the battlefield more fully, then prepare your own weapons."
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
This sentence was originally what Lu Ke persuaded Candice.
For models, they not only need to adjust and control their diet; they also need to persist in training and polish their muscle lines. The brilliance under the spotlight is also the result of countless sweat and efforts.
During those days in Los Angeles, Candice's career never saw much improvement. Because the competition for models is too fierce, they not only need to be thin, but also need to have beautiful muscle lines, not too strong muscles, nor too loose lines.
The reason why Gisele Bundchen can become the world's number one model and stay on this throne for more than twenty years is not because of how beautiful and gorgeous she is; but because of her figure. Perfect, skinny where it should be, meat where there should be, muscles strong and elastic, body proportions and body lines can be called a miracle of the Creator.
For other models, catching up with Gisele is almost an impossible task.
In order to improve her competitiveness, Candice trained unremittingly, training with high intensity and density, which caused her body to sound an alarm and she fainted from dehydration; if Lu Ke hadn't finished her run and accidentally discovered that Candice did not show up that day, When I passed by her house, I stopped by and took a look. Only then did I discover her situation in time, otherwise I don't know what the consequences would be.
At that time, Lu Ke told Candice that haste makes waste; also, sharpening a knife does not waste time chopping wood. The body is the foundation and capital, and their efforts need to be more organized and planned.
After many years, the situation has now changed. Let Candice speak out and dissuade Lu Ke.
The smile paused for a moment at the corner of his mouth, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes. Lu Ke nodded and agreed, "Okay, I know." There was no extravagant promise, but it was enough to express his sincerity; then, Lu Ke moved He changed the topic and said in a relaxed tone, "Did you watch the live broadcast of today's game? I thought you had work."
"I'm in the studio now, getting ready to take pictures; but I can take advantage of my free time at work to watch the live broadcast of the game. Fortunately, there are no Tigers fans at the work site today." After she relaxed a little, Candice also started driving joked, "However, I am in Miami today, and they were originally going to watch the Miami Dolphins vs. Cleveland Browns game, but obviously, that game is not as exciting as this one, the 'No. 14 Showdown'!"
"Photography scene? Watching football? This... combination is really new. Are you sure? During the photoshooting process, after watching the game and getting excited, what will happen to the shooting state?" Lu Ke made up the picture in his own mind. A group of people wearing fashionable brand names The models posed in various poses while watching NFL. It was so weird that it made people laugh.
Candice recalled the shooting work this morning. She was absent-minded and restless, and her concentration could never be fully concentrated. The work that could have been completed in three hours, now five hours have passed, and it is still not over. Not just her, but the photographers, staff and other models too.
The picture in her mind and Lu Ke's words confirmed each other. Candice couldn't help but smile and chuckled, "If you have the chance, you are welcome to come and visit the shooting site to feel the atmosphere."
"The shooting scene? Describe to me, what is around you now?" Lu Ke said with a smile.
Candice looked back at the busy studio behind her, "I think it's best for you to see the team doctor now and receive some relaxing treatment."
"Sixty seconds, for the sake of my friends, I'll give you another sixty seconds." It was obviously Lu Ke's curiosity that caused him trouble, but he still made a gesture of "I'm very generous", which really pleased him. Feeling, "So, how does the shooting scene work? Is it a large group of beautiful models swarming up, and then the photographer is looking for various inspirations to complete the shooting?"
"Bambi, are you concerned about the studio? Or the beautiful women?" Candice bit her lower lip gently, raising her eyebrows slightly, showing a joking expression.
Lu Ke spread his hands to show his innocence, "I'm just curious. In exchange, I can describe the situation in the locker room to you. For example, I am next to a 350-pound (160-kilogram) tall man with no hair. His bald head looks like a freshly peeled hard-boiled egg, with tattoos on his arms, a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right..."
Before she could finish her vivid words, Candice shook her head repeatedly, "The sense of imagery, the sense of imagery is too strong, I can't bear it." Then she raised her hands to cover her eyes, as if she was really there It was like a scene in the locker room, which made Lu Ke on the other end of the phone laugh heartily.
"Okay, okay, I get it." Candice turned around and began to look at the entire photo studio, but language and writing were really not her strong point. This was a bit embarrassing. She didn't even know where to start. . "We, uh, we are in an abandoned warehouse now. The whole space is very large, almost as big as an entire football field..."
The words were a little clumsy and broken, but Candice persisted, "There is a row of windows on the right hand side. The sun in Miami has not yet reached its highest point. The sunlight can penetrate through the windows, fall down, and cover half of the warehouse. ..." Looking up, Candice was stunned. She had been in the studio, but she had never noticed such a beautiful scenery.
"Now, countless dust particles are floating and dancing in the light beam, as if thousands of fireflies are flying." Candice involuntarily raised her right hand, lightly touched the sun, feeling the lazy warmth, and then , spread out his palms, feeling the fragments of sunlight lingering in his palms, "Now, everyone is covered with a golden halo, even vaster than the sea, wider than the sky, just like... "
Candice paused in her words. For the first time, she realized so truly and deeply that her words were so pale, and those words and sentences could not capture one thousandth of the beauty in front of her.
"It's like time stopped and space began to extend infinitely." Lu Ke's voice was transmitted through the microphone and rang in her ears. The smile at the corner of Candice's mouth suddenly rose and bloomed, "Yes, that's it. How can you knew?"
Reflexively, Candice looked back. The golden light in her eyes was so beautiful, and then she realized: Lu Ke was in Cincinnati, so naturally he couldn't be in Miami. After realizing this, Candice smiled even brighter.
"Because I see the same ray of sunshine now." Looking up, you can see the bright and dazzling sunshine passing through the window lattice of the dressing room and falling down mightily, outlining the hazy figures and figures. The hot sweat and the dust flying through it were flying wildly, as if the stars were falling from the sky.
Breaking the shackles of space and passing through the interval of time, in an instant, it seemed like two people were standing side by side, very close.
He tightened his fingertips, as if leaving the faint warmth in his palms, "Sixty seconds are up. I need to go and relax." Lu Ke's voice brought the two of them back to reality, and the close distance was shortened in an instant. Far away, I returned to the two cities of Cincinnati and Miami, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. "By the way, how was the interview result for the catwalk show at the end of this year?"
Interview for Victoria's Secret Year-End Gala. Every year, all models must participate in auditions, re-screen, and regain the qualifications to appear on the catwalk stage to ensure that every model is still in top condition when the new year's catwalk comes.
Of course, a top presence like Gisele Bundchen is naturally not needed; Candice only officially signed the contract last year and must attend this year's interview.
"I have successfully passed and won the qualification to walk on the catwalk!" Candice brought the good news, "However, the specific location and specific outfit still need to be decided in the final round of auditions. After everything is settled, I will tell you as soon as possible your!"
"Well, good luck!"
"You too, good luck!"
