At the end of this century, the 2000 World Top Model Contest was a big upset. "Ugly girl" Lv Yan, who had absolutely no chance of winning in people's eyes, was crowned the runner-up. Prior to this, the best ranking of a Chinese model in this competition was fourth place. After Lu Yan won the award, she immediately returned to France, where she had worked for several months, and the author interviewed her via an overseas phone call. Although Lu Yan has become a famous model, her cheerful personality has not changed. She does not shy away from her ugliness or her poor background. Super surprise: A famous teacher spotted an ugly duckling. Lu Yan was relatively tall and not pretty, so she developed the habit of walking with her back bent. When she was studying in technical secondary school in Nanchang, Lu Yan was very dissatisfied with her lack of confidence, so she went to a model training company to practice her steps and correct her walking posture. Later, I gradually became interested. Nanchang's agent took Lv Yan to Beijing. By chance, Li Dongtian and Feng Hai, famous Chinese image designers, discovered that although she was not beautiful, she was very distinctive, so they took a set of photos of her, and she has been a hit ever since. . Lu Yan is very cheerful, lively and cheerful. Lu Yan has been very boyish since she was a child. In my hometown, if there was only one girl in the arcade, it was Lu Yan. Later, there was another girl, and that was Lu Yan's sister. Perhaps it is this masculine personality that makes her easy to get along with and familiar with others. Those around her can feel her energy and cheerfulness, as well as a gentle and friendly feeling. When the photographer took her picture, her bright smile infected everyone around her. She turns her head and waist and assumes various poses whenever necessary. Everyone who works with her likes her and says she has a strong collaborative spirit. ALISA, the style director of Ports, also said, I like this girl very much. She has such a strong spirit of cooperation and sense of cooperation, which is very valuable. The Adventures of an Ugly Girl: Romantic Fate in Paris In June 2000, a staff member from the Met went on a business trip to China. This is a world-famous model agency that has trained world-famous models like Claudia Schiffer. . The staff member discovered Lu Yan while resting at the Xinqiao Hotel in Beijing before boarding the plane. He asked Lu Yan if she wanted to develop in Paris. Although Lv Yan was well-known in China at that time, she felt that she had not achieved much. In her own words, those famous models who had already achieved results in China might hesitate and worry about gains and losses, in case they could not develop well abroad. Okay, let's just beat the odds. But I don’t have anything to begin with, and it doesn’t matter if I fail, but maybe I will succeed? Moreover, it is definitely a good opportunity to develop abroad, especially in a fashion capital like Paris. On June 17, 2000, Lu Yan arrived in Paris and lived on the ?le Saint-Louis, the birthplace of Paris culture. Her first day of work in Paris was to meet the most famous reporter in Paris with a timetable, a subway map and a photo album of her own style. Maybe Lu Yan grew up in a poor family, maybe she didn't become famous at that time, but Lu Yan grabbed the opportunity without fear when it reached out to her. At first, Lu Yan didn’t know a word in English, so she took a quick translator and went to France, a country with unfamiliar people, and started her modeling journey in Paris. Also relying on this quick translation, Lu Yan traveled all over the streets of Paris to participate in interviews, and even made an international long distance call back to China to ask friends for English pronunciation, and then asked for directions. The glory of success is seen by everyone, but few people know the hardship behind it. Lu Yan arrived in Paris for the first time and was unfamiliar with the local environment. With persistence, courage and smile, she finally opened a way for herself in this fashion capital. In just a few months, Lu Yan attracted the attention of the world's most famous fashion magazine "VOGUE", took many photos for the magazine, and participated in fashion shows of famous fashion brands CHRIS-TIANDIOR and LA-COIX. Suddenly becoming famous, Lu Yan quickly became famous in the Paris fashion circle.

The secret of success: A poor man’s daughter becomes a master early. Success sometimes depends not only on one’s hard work and sweat, but also on one’s own quality. No matter what industry you are in, a good spirit of cooperation is the key to success. Everyone who has worked with Lu Yan likes this girl who is not beautiful but very cute. During this competition, reporters from major French fashion media went to the Forbidden City to take photos with models such as Lu Yan. Journalists want great photos and want models to wear dresses. Many models are afraid of the cold and are unwilling to wear skirts, but Lu Yan is not afraid. She is willing to cooperate with photographers and videographers to create good works. She considers this her responsibility and her profession. Lu Yan was very hesitant about whether to participate in the 2000 World's Next Top Model contest. She thought that her unpretty face would not be loved by people in China, and she did not want to be disappointed when she came back. Besides, some contestants participate in such international model competitions in the hope of having a good career and development abroad after winning the competition. Lu Yan has developed very well in Paris, and it no longer matters whether she participates in the competition or not. In the end, it was the French agent and cameraman who convinced Lu Yan to participate in the competition. Lu Yan has been exposed to many world-renowned fashion brands. She is very happy to be invited by Ports (International) Group, but she never expected to win the runner-up. Speaking of future development, she told us that she will continue to stay in Paris. "I am the daughter of a poor man. I am able to become famous today not only because of my own efforts, but also because of the support of my parents. She hopes to help her parents, who have worked hard all their lives, move out of the small mining area so that they can enjoy life." Lu Yanzai The other end of the phone line said sincerely.
