The black Mercedes-Benz limousine was driving steadily on the endless streets of Manhattan. The winter night fell early. There was still a short time before the rush hour, and the city was already lit up with colorful street lights. Dots of stars support the dark blue sky, like a sparkling stream, with a different kind of rhythm in its gurgling flow.
I turned my head slightly and tried to look at the color of the sky through the window, but failed sadly. I could only see a solemn and cold forest of steel bars. Those hard and straight lines revealed the alienation that I couldn't get along with. Even a little starlight could not be seen. Before long, the city skyline blocks the distance between people.
"How do you feel?" Laihe sat on the sofa opposite, crossed his legs, and explored curiously.
He had a strange feeling, like a parent escorting a child to prom. Maybe, he should really call Jack and Annie and tell them what happened tonight - not the part about Candice, that was a matter of communication between Lu Ke and his parents; but the part about tonight's fashion show , this can be regarded as the first time Lu Ke appeared on the red carpet at a formal occasion.
Lu Ke shrugged, "It's a bit strange. I mean, about five hours ago, my teammates and I were on Gillette Stadium, braving the wind and rain, and finally defeated our opponents and won a game. Very, very difficult game; and now here I am in a limousine wearing a shirt and a suit, heading to a fashion show? And walking the red carpet?"
As he spoke, Lu Ke's eyes widened, "If I feel like vomiting now, isn't that too bad?"
"Relax. Bambi, you will do well. Think back to the first game you stepped on the court. The scene and situation tonight are nothing compared to that game." Lech. He expressed comfort with a chuckle, "I know, this is not your area of expertise, but these things are really nothing. The really difficult part ended five hours ago."
Lu Ke didn't answer, he just pulled the collar of his suit, but his tight muscles and stiff neck still revealed his true emotions.
Tonight's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is still an annual event in New York City. The fashion show will be held at the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Street for the fourth consecutive year. This is a very popular show in recent years. The venue is where many top fashion brands choose to hold their shows.
Although it is not yet the rush hour for get off work, as we get closer to our destination, the traffic begins to jam. From a distance, we can see a dense array of cars, like Lego toys, piled neatly on the spacious road. The wider the road, the more vehicles there are, and the narrower the space. Is this... a paradox?
They just appeared in the car queue, moving slowly like a snail for nearly twenty-five minutes, and then gradually approached the red carpet at the entrance. The reporters, fans, and cheers were blown by the wind, and slowly As the ground surged, reality began to become clearer bit by bit.
Laihe noticed that Lu Ke seemed to calm down. The uneasiness and panic had quietly disappeared. The familiar Lu Ke was back again. At this time, the stretch car had begun to stop slowly. Seeing Lu Ke's calmness With a calm gaze, Lech once again smiled and expressed comfort, "Hey, I told you, you can do a good job."
Lu Ke's eyes paused for a moment, and then he understood what Lech meant. He said with a smile, "I'm just thinking about the tactical manual, which can help me calm down." In fact, he was looking through the information on the on-hook video function. Those accumulated information After all, the information that comes down still takes time to interpret slowly. Now might not be the best time, but it does serve as a distraction.
Even Laihe, who had experienced many battles, looked at Lu Ke unexpectedly at this time, and then realized that Lu Ke was not joking, but after thinking about it seriously, he no longer felt strange. He gently nodded his head to express his understanding, " It's a good thing that you can calm down. Anyway, tonight won't be too difficult, just enjoy it."
As he spoke, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the armory.
Lu Ke took a long breath and smiled at Laihe, "Show-time."
At this time, the staff standing next to the red carpet opened the door of the limousine. Lu Ke left his seat without hesitation or hesitation, and stepped on the carpet with his feet. The slightly soft carpet made it easy for his feet to After sinking deeply, his center of gravity seemed to be slightly unstable. Lu Ke stepped on the spot to ensure that he had a firm footing. This down-to-earth feeling was reassuring.
But then, overwhelming silver flashlights poured down like the Niagara Falls. The shining and dazzling light waterfalls rushed over continuously, instantly filling every corner deep in the pupils, and suddenly the vision fell into darkness. , all vision completely disappeared, leaving only boundless darkness, as if he was blind.
The flickering spots of light moved rapidly in the velvet darkness. It made no sense, but it only made the eyes start to sting.
Now Lu Ke finally understands why artists like to wear sunglasses. Sometimes it may be to look cool, but sometimes it is really to protect their eyes.
This is not the first time Lu Ke has faced a large number of news media. He had experienced it once before at the Rolex signing press conference at Staples Stadium, but the scale of that time seemed to be small compared with today. It's not on the same level. Now Lu Ke only feels that the whole world is filled with flashing lights, and even the surface of his skin is starting to feel slightly hot.
He could hardly keep his eyes open.
The starry spots of light gradually became clearer, outlining the outlines of heads in the darkness. Finally, after the flashes receded like a tide, the sea of people in front of them was revealed. It seemed that the edges and heights could not be seen, like a wave. Swallowing yourself, you can vaguely see thousands of figures crowding both sides of the red carpet.
Is this the majesty of the entertainment industry?
Lu Ke stood there and paused for a moment, then took a step forward.
This is not his stadium or training ground. Here, he is a nobody. No one should know him, and he does not expect anyone to know him. Anyway, there are crowds coming and going on the red carpet, but all eyes will be on it. Concentrate on a few top superstars or popular idols.
All he had to do was walk down the red carpet, enter the main venue, and start enjoying the fashion show.
But unexpectedly, a cry came from the crowd, "Bambi! Look here!"
Someone called his nickname, and Lu Ke reflexively turned his head and looked over. The flashlight brightened again, rushing towards his face like a flood, and then his ears were filled with calls one after another, "Bambi! "Hey, Lu Ke!" "Skywalker, Lu Ke-Skywalker!"
Lu Ke did not hide his surprised expression. He did not expect that someone would recognize him in a fashion event. He thought he was just one of the countless ordinary viewers tonight, but now, spears and cannons began to target him. , so what is going on now?
"Bambi, win beautifully today!"
"Bambi, welcome to the Big Apple!"
"Bambi, what do you think of tonight's fashion show?"
"Bambi, how do you feel standing here?"
"Bambi, hey, Bambi! Look here! Here!"
Curiosity and inquiry are pouring in from all directions, and now what Lech said is gradually becoming real: all the attention and popularity on social networks are now happening in real life, He could feel the heat, the shouts, the crowds, everything was so real.
When hunters find prey, they will sniff their noses and follow them step by step; when reporters find fresh meat, they will do the same.
This is the first time Lu Ke has appeared in a relevant occasion in the entertainment industry. Leaving the rugby field and training ground, we came to a broader and more shining stage. Like hyenas who have discovered fresh meat, the reporters rushed over collectively, more and more, more and more, and finally more than half The reporters all aimed their lenses at Lu Ke.
This is definitely the darling treatment of everyone!
Under the hot and turbulent gaze of everyone, Lu Ke took a deep breath, pulled the hem of his suit, and then stepped forward.
Now, the most fortunate thing is that he chose a pair of sports sneakers instead of leather shoes, which made his feet feel more comfortable and his steps became steady. He silently told himself that such a scene and the situation at Gillette Stadium today It's nothing in comparison, so there's no need to be too nervous.
The entire red carpet was not long. Lu Ke's steps did not slow down. He arrived at the end in a short while and stood at the entrance. Then he saw a familiar figure standing at the door with one hand in his pants pocket. Inside, with a half-smile expression on his face, his eyes fell on Lu Ke. Obviously, he was waiting for Lu Ke.
Raising his head, Lu Ke saw the other party and caught the joking smile. His footsteps slowly stopped in front of the other party, "Don't! Don't say anything. I feel now, no matter what Nothing you say feels right.”
But the other party still spoke on his own, "Didn't anyone teach you? This is not how the red carpet is walked. You should walk slowly, chat with reporters, take photos with the audience, and then interact with everyone Interaction. This is not a sprint track, you'd better slow down a bit."
Lu Ke shrugged and pointed back to the beginning of the red carpet, "Otherwise, you and I will go back to the beginning and walk together again? Just like models walking down the catwalk? How about it, the great DiCaprio gentlemen?"
