Zhang Xiaowu was having fun in the Internet cafe as usual, using MaiMai to chat with his sworn cousin.
"Oh, the company's benefits are really good, including food, car, phone, and everything else. Colleagues are also enthusiastic. I said that I have followed Maiwo since 2001. It was still a dating club at that time... Wow! They all came to me one after another.
Looks of admiration, I am older than them all..."
"Go away, I won't talk to you anymore, get off!"
Zhang Xiaowu became more and more angry as he listened and simply gave up. Jiang Chao had already graduated and had just joined 99. This gave him a sense of career crisis. If he was fooling around like this all day long, what good job could he find in the future?
But the habit of visiting Internet cafes cannot be changed in a short time, alas...
He sighed and played "Audition" for a while. One thing he said was that there were really many girls in this game. 7 out of 10 were female. It wouldn't be long before he could say goodbye to his virginity.
After playing for a while, he logged into the community again.
I glanced at the recommendation on the homepage and was immediately attracted by a photo: it was on the field, with the packed auditorium in the background, and amid the cheers and cheers, a girl reached the finish line first and crossed the line.
Her skin is not white, but wheat-colored. At first glance, she looks tall and big, but her smooth and powerful muscle lines and the bright smile when she won the championship give her whole person a sunny and upward feeling.
"Why!"
Zhang Xiaowu clicks on his personal space and sees the text accompanying the picture:
"The last 100-meter hurdles in my college career may also be the last competition in my life. I am very sorry that I could not become a professional athlete. I will continue to work hard in the future."
He knew that this was the girl from "Charlotte's Trouble", and he also knew that she was very popular recently, with hundreds of thousands of fans, but he didn't pay attention to her because he liked petite girls.
"Is this your first time being recommended?"
Zhang Xiaowu looked at it repeatedly and admitted that the photo was indeed good. It conveyed a sense of power, not physical power, but something different from the "white and tender", "sexy" and "cute" beauties in the community, uh...
He scratched his head, his poor Chinese skills were not enough to express it, anyway, his eyes lit up.
He casually followed it, left a comment to praise it, and then exited. After exiting, he immediately felt physically uncomfortable. Because the next photo recommended on the home page was none other than the international supermodel named Lu Yan.
"Damn bad luck!"
Zhang Xiaowu cursed, Lu Yan has been very popular recently, with 900,000 fans. When she first joined, she was like most people, what does she look like? Is she also called an international supermodel?
As a result, a group of guys appeared out of nowhere, ridiculing those who questioned, saying "high-end face" but not "international aesthetics", which made everyone very annoying.
"..."
He didn't even get the slightest attention and ran straight to the mall.
Upon entering, there is a big announcement:
“Young people love freedom and their individuality has no limits!
Meike Eslite is coming online soon!
Meike Eslite is a self-operated clothing brand launched by the mall. It was born out of the community and rooted in the community... It is officially on the shelves during the National Day, with a 30-day discount, a long-sleeved T-shirt is 29 yuan, and a pair of jeans is 68 yuan!
"
"29 yuan?"
Zhang Xiaowu became interested and turned to the detailed introduction, which included an atlas, styles, patterns, etc. It was quite exquisite.
There is also a pile of manuscripts saying that Meike Eslite represents the freedom and individuality of young people... Zhang Xiaowu is not interested in this, because he thinks the price is cheap and the style is good-looking.
T-shirts are relatively expensive these days. Brand-name ones like Nike and Adidas cost 100-200 each, mid-range ones cost dozens, and street stalls are cheaper, but the quality is not good either.
Therefore, the price of 29 yuan a piece will give everyone a mentality of "no loss at all".
Zhang Xiaowu picked several items and stuffed them into the shopping cart, preparing to snap them up. Just when he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of another message:
"Maike Eslite [plans to invite] international supermodel Lu Yan as the brand spokesperson, and will shoot a series of commercials to show her personality, so stay tuned!"
Damn it!
Looking forward to a daddy!
Zhang Xiaowu frowned, as if he had swallowed a fly. For the first time in his life, he felt disgusted with Maiwo. This is wrong! Why did you ask Lu Yan to be the spokesperson?
Can't you tell she's too beautiful to be ugly?
Or is my aesthetic really different from others? Is that really a high-end face?
Zhang Xiaowu fell into deep suspicion and couldn't help but run to the community again to look at the two photos next to each other... He locked his eyes on the senior's face and tried hard to find something he could admire.
Look at these eyebrows, these eyes, this nose, these cheekbones, these lips, this makeup, this, this, this...fuck you, ugly is ugly!
Zhang Xiaowu stood firm and went to the topic group to find colleagues.
"Have you seen MaiKe Eslite? The clothes are really good-looking, but what makes me uncomfortable is that Lu Yan was invited to be the spokesperson. What do you think???"
"I just saw it and had the same question!"
"Maybe it's to highlight her personality. Lu Yan has quite a personality."
"Go away, personality does not equal ugliness!"
"Don't mention it, I suddenly felt sick. It was the first time I felt uncomfortable in Maiwo for so long. It felt like being betrayed by your best friend."
"I don't understand either, why do you want Lu Yan to speak for you? A giraffe is a hundred times better than her!"
"Yes, giraffes are so beautiful!"
Everyone was complaining and expressing their dissatisfaction and incomprehension, but the mood was quite peaceful and light, and the immersion was not strong enough.
Just like later generations clamoring to boycott products that insult China, whether people should sell them or not, there will always be people who will consume them.
Converts, devils, hot-blooded ones, wavers, egoists, indifferent people... Most of the time, these groups are mixed together.
Zhang Xiaowu was like this, he complained a few times, but he still wanted to buy it, it was so cheap! Who you invite to endorse is a trivial matter, I just scolded you a few times, and it was a big deal that it was cheap.
At the same time, there are also some people discussing in various topic groups and spaces in Maimai, but it has not yet formed a large scale.
After a long time like this, an article suddenly appeared and was recommended: "Teach you how to recognize high-end faces, why the fashion industry loves "squinting eyes", here is the explanation"!
“Maike Eslite’s appointment of Lu Yan as an endorsement caused some controversy.
Many people think that Lu Yan's appearance does not meet their aesthetic standards and they think she is ugly. But I want to tell you that women who do not meet your aesthetic standards are not called ugly.
First of all, why did Lu Yan become an international supermodel?
In fact, it is very simple, because her appearance is in line with the beauty of the fashion industry. This kind of beauty is not our usual oval face, high nose bridge, and big eyes, but requires a three-dimensional sense, commonly known as a high-end face.
What are the characteristics of an advanced face?
1. The distance between the eyes is wider
We may think that beauty pays attention to compact facial features, but high-end faces are just the opposite. They pay attention to wide eye distance. The eye distance should be at least more than the width of one eye, so as to show a sense of alienation and a cold temperament.
2. Squint your eyes
The eyes are elongated, also known as squinted eyes.
In fact, round and full eyes are not our traditional characteristics. Look at the ladies in those ancient paintings, they all have slender eyes. The so-called squinting originally represents oriental charm.
3. High cheekbones, prominent mandibular angle, thick lips
An advanced face requires sharp edges and corners, strong contours, clean lines, and a square jaw that is full of strength. On a female face, it looks more neutral and has a more modern aesthetic trend.
The above are the basic characteristics of an advanced face.
Generally speaking, Westerners' vision is different from ours. They love the unique charm of Eastern faces. They are domineering on the catwalk and can hold their own.
On the other hand, we ourselves have lost the ability to discover high-end aesthetics.
