American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 129 New Agent (Subscription Request)
"Magazine announcement?" Ryan thought for a moment and vaguely guessed what she was referring to.

"That's right. A combination of interviews, photos, and cover photos. You have to have your own cover." Faith said on the other end of the phone.

Britney recently appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. In addition to promoting her new album, she also responded to a series of controversial events last year.

She divorced her ex-husband, lost custody, shaved her head to save her life, went in and out of rehabilitation centers, had an accident at the VMA performance, underwent a psychiatric evaluation, her father obtained custody, and her career hit rock bottom. Last year, she experienced almost all the bad things that could have happened to her, and this year she made a comeback with her new album "Circus".

Robert Downey Jr. also made a comeback with Iron Man and appeared on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. Later, Entertainment Weekly invited another highly-watched young couple, Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson. The 08 commemorative special issue of Empire featured Heath Ledger on the cover.

Robert Downey talked about restarting his career, while Kristen and Robert were caught off guard by the cultural phenomenon generated by "Twilight". Kristen felt a little uncomfortable with suddenly becoming the focus and wanted to keep a low profile. Her rebellious personality traits had already emerged. Robert even said bluntly that he was not "that handsome". He probably didn't know Kristen's true orientation at this time, but both of them remained looking forward to the sequel.

As for Beyonce, Jolie, and Madonna, they have appeared on the covers of Vogue, the American version of Vanity Fair, and ELLE respectively. Another person who must be mentioned is Taylor, who has appeared on at least five magazines this year, and will also appear on Billboard and Rolling Stone at the end of the year.

Ryan is certainly not left out.

"I know the deputy editor of GQ, and he told me about you and said he really wanted you to be on the cover, and he even asked Annie Leibovitz for you.
, the female photographer said, if you like, she would be happy to take a portrait for you." Faith continued.

Annie Leibovitz's photos are much more famous than her name. It was she who took the private photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono five hours before John Lennon was shot. In the photo, the two were lying on the carpet, and John Lennon was naked and hugging Yoko Ono like a child. This is the most classic cover of Rolling Stone.

However, she has had some bad luck in the past two years, and many of the photos she took have been embroiled in controversy.

Let the queen take off the crown, let the deputy goat pose like a "King Kong", let Mai Li take nude photos, the question is to pursue "artistic quality".

"So, how is she going to film me?"

"How would I know? You haven't agreed yet, or do you need to talk to her before making a decision?"

"I agreed. When will the shoot start?" With a GQ cover and a golden lineup consisting of photography giants like Annie Leibovitz, Ryan had no reason to refuse.

What he fears more than controversy is the lack of controversy.

"Ok, that's right, don't be shy, just act like you're performing as a DJ, stay focused, be perfect, and raise your head slightly..."

In a small nightclub in New York that was temporarily used as a shooting location, Annie Leibovitz kept giving instructions and encouragement to Ryan, and kept pressing the shutter of the Mamiya RZ67 camera in her hand. The default blue sky, white clouds and green grass wallpaper of Microsoft XP system was taken with this camera.

There were only a small number of core staff members on the scene, and all other insignificant people were cleared out.

Ryan was standing in front of the DJ booth at the moment, performing the same movements as in many previous performances, with the only difference being - he was naked.

Annie Leibovitz is good at adding nudity to her photos, and Ryan is no exception. However, he is very suitable for this style of photography because he has a good figure.

Through the stage lights, you can see Ryan's streamlined muscles, especially his abdominal muscles. Under Annie Leibovitz's shutter, a series of pictures full of natural muscular beauty were captured.

Standing aside, Faith looked at him with interest, her eyes slightly fixed.

After all, Ryan's stalled state is almost comparable to others with live ammunition loaded. Faith only found out today that Ryan has this special skill. As for the other staff members present, they are often inadvertently covered in the face, and a sense of inferiority arises spontaneously.

Even Annie Leibovitz, an old lady who has been taking nude photos for decades, raised her eyebrows behind her glasses when she saw it for the first time.

This was the second scene shot. The first scene was in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where Ryan stood with those Renaissance sculptures, posing in a JOJO-like pose.

This set of photos by Annie Leibovitz is titled "Classic and Modern". Ryan, as a model, travels through time and space, allowing modern and classical to intersect.

"I should have known I would not have let you go!" Faith waited for Ryan to finish shooting and came over. At this time, the staff had already put a robe on Ryan. Whether it is a male or female model, they will not stay naked during the break between shooting.

Ryan ended his modeling career because of her. Looking back now, Faith feels that this may have been the worst decision of her life.

"But we can still cooperate now." Ryan nodded.

"You're right." Faith nodded immediately and continued with Ryan's words: "NEXT has a lot of resources in the fashion industry. I think you are very clear about this. I have many job opportunities waiting for you." From her tone, this GQ cover shooting and interview is just the beginning.

Ryan paid more attention to online media, and traditional media didn't pay much attention.

"You mean the catwalk? Isn't Karlie Kloss enough to keep you busy?" Ryan laughed.

He wasn't going to go back to his old job, and he didn't care about those job opportunities now. As for Karlie Kloss, Ryan had heard about her sporadically and knew that she was very popular.

"Not only a model, don't you want to work with big brands? Attend various high-end fashion shows. You have your own clothing line now. You need these occasions to maintain your 'fashionable' image." Faith said.

This reminded Ryan: "You want to be my agent?"

Faith nodded with a smile: "Actually, I took the initiative to help you contact GQ. This is my gift to you."

GQ, VOGUE, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and other well-known magazines all belong to the same parent company, Condé Nast. As for DJ Magazine, its circulation is less than a fraction of these magazines.

Similar media groups include Hearst, Meredith (Times Group), News Corporation, and Bloomberg Media Group. They are not only "trumpeter players" but also have the "right to speak". To give a simple example, in the selection organizations of the four major awards, the Oscars, Grammys, Tony Awards, and Emmy Awards, the representatives of the media industry are the editors of these media groups.

For example, among the more than 100 gaming media that will vote for TGA, more than 40 are from the United States, and more than a dozen are from the United Kingdom. Together, the two have more than half of the voting rights, while Chinese media only have four seats.

If you have the right to speak, good can become bad and black can become white.

In any case, Faith has some connections in the traditional media and fashion fields, which is what Ryan currently lacks.

But she is not Ryan's only choice. Now Ryan is the one who takes the initiative. He decides to test Faith's quality first: "You can give it a try first. If you can take actions that satisfy me, I can agree to it."

Faith smiled and said, "I'll let you take advantage of me this time."

This sounds a bit strange. Just as I remembered, she is still so out of touch.

"By the way, I haven't asked you about the situation between you and Terry." She tilted her head and asked again. She mentioned this when Ryan called her. After all, she and Terry were about the same age.

"A normal relationship." Ryan said.

By the way, after finishing the interview, I will go to Los Angeles to participate in the actor interview.

After hearing Ryan's subsequent arrangements, Faith narrowed her eyes. "Filming a TV series? Was it Terry's idea?"

"My idea."

"Your idea? Aren't you a singer? The two don't have much to do with each other." Faith was puzzled.

Actually, there is some connection. Many singers will also appear on the screen, most of them as guest appearances. The number of people who can truly be successful in both pop music and film and television can be counted on one hand.

For example, the “wife-loving good men” Will Smith, Cher, and Justin Timberlake, and these singers have all entered the big screen as actors.

"Screenwriter, creator? Am I mistaken, or do you have too much money and don't know where to spend it?" Faith thought this was totally impossible.

Not to mention her, even Taylor and Trey, who were closer to Ryan, found it hard to understand and thought Ryan was crazy. However, after reading the script dictated by Ryan, they thought it was at least interesting and thought they could give it a try...

"Do you know any actresses?" Ryan asked casually.

"Get to know some and see what type you need and how much the actor budget is?" Faith shrugged.
