Chapter 336
Designers were pursuing their dreams in New York, which was a paradise in their eyes . Even a studio on Grace Building was enough for them .
Qin Guan's status as a student protected him well . He was not interested in looking for an agent there .
Many Chinese models had agents, while others worked independently .
They got a little tired when they attended auditions, but they were able to avoid lots of trouble . It was a good choice for Qin Guan at the time .
Besides, there was no model union in New York, like the actor union on Broadway or Hollywood . There was only one in the UK .
The brave Asian boy jumped into the melting pot .
It was Xu Xiaoxiao, and not his girlfriend, who was interested in the auditions the most .
Clinging to the notion that Qin Guan didn’t have a car, he offered to be his temporary driver while Qin Guan was looking for a part-time job .
"It will take you a long time to get from Chelsea Street to Times Square . If you take the bus, you will be able to make two auditions at best . "
"It's a waste of time! I’m not helping you for free . Let me copy your homework, and I’ll be your driver till you buy a car . "
What a cunning guy!
"Okay! Thank you for your help . See you tomorrow . "
"See you!"
Xu Xiaoxiao parked his Ford under the dormitory . When Qin Guan knocked on the window the next day, Xu realized that his classmate had changed clothes .
Qin Guan was in a black short-sleeved shirt with round delicate buttons that looked like pearls . When he sat down in the passenger seat, his pants didn't have any wrinkles .
When he got out with his LV handbag a while later, Xu was still staring at his back .
He tried his best to fix his eyes on the steering wheel, afraid that he would get dizzy and cause an accident on the busy street .
After a long time, Xu came back to his senses . He bought a cup of iced coffee to calm himself down .
He didn’t believe in the Chinese proverb that "one could become quite a different person" . In his opinion, it was an exaggeration . On that day though, he experienced the accurate, profound wisdom of the Chinese . Qin Guan was the realization of that proverb .
Xu was feeling confident about Qin Guan's audition, as he had seen four girls on the street look surprised by Qin Guan's appearance . Everyone knew that New Yorkers didn’t care about strangers . As a result, Xu was very confident about Qin Guan’s interview .
Times Square, where the top 10 brands from all over the world gathered, was Qin Guan’s first destination . The studios and agencies were in the building behind the mansion .
Qin Guan followed the crowd into the elevator, looking carefully at the map of the studios John had given him . He would make good use of his time .
Armani was his first destination . Their traditional formal wear style fit Qin Guan’s personality .
Unfortunately, this was also a battlefield for models . It was even a first choice for supermodels, let alone agencies .
Armani chose very few new models every year, and 99 . 999% of them were recommended by companies . Qin Guan would have to fight for a 0 . 001% chance .
He decided to deliver his resume personally .
Some experienced models couldn't bear the strict terms companies and agents set or yield to their dirty deals and latent rules . They were familiar with the circle and they tried to introduce themselves to the designers and branding businesses by delivering their resumes personally .
They knew the locations of the designers’ studios and the brand companies, as well as the time of brand launching events and shows .
They worked harder for themselves, waiting eagerly for a chance . They were usually welcomed by independent designers, as the designers could find suitable models for their concepts that way .
Besides, models could be discovered in small shows by famous brands and then soar up to the sky .
Qin Guan didn't think much about that . As a foreigner in the city, this was the best way for him to proceed .
The Armani offices were simple and plain, like any other office in the universe . There was nothing on the white walls except the designer’s logo .
The lobby was as quiet as a fantasy world .
The girl in black at the reception looked busy . She was arranging files . After they were sorted, they would be sent to different departments .
Suddenly, she turned around and saw the visitor . She knew what he wanted right away .
Pointing to the elegant boxes beside the entrance, she said, "Put your resume in the corresponding box . Thank you . "
