What about the photography team in Lv Yan?

1999 One day, a photo of "Freckled Lily" was posted on Wangfujing Street. The girl in the photo has small eyes, a flat nose, thick lips, a flat face and small freckles. ...

At first glance, it is really different from the "beauty" in our traditional concept. Almost all passers-by evaluate her like this:

"This girl is so ugly!"

Unexpectedly, however, Lv Yan, who was regarded as ugly by Chinese people, became famous with her unique beauty in World War I before the appearance of "senior face", was praised as "beauty" by photographers, pushed onto the international stage by major brands and became the "China's first world-class supermodel" in the media.

From "Ugly Girls" in China to "Landmarks" in Wangfujing.

Lv Yan, 198 1 was born in a poor mountain village in De 'an mining area, Jiangxi Province, with a younger brother and a younger sister at home. His mother is a housewife and his father is a barber. A family of five earns only 600 yuan every month.

Look at her childhood growth environment, no one would have thought that she would become a model in the future, in the words of Lv Yan:

"There is no running water in the country, no toilet, only one, and the whole person stinks when going to the toilet."

At that time, Lv Yan's dream was to earn 800 yuan every month.

Although my family is poor, I grew to the height of 1.78 meters at a young age. Besides, her outstanding appearance can even be described as "ugly" in the eyes of ordinary people. Walking in the crowd, she always falls back subconsciously and doesn't want to attract attention.

However, doing this for a long time led to an extremely embarrassing posture. Finally, at the age of 18, she decided to take a beauty class under the introduction of others, and this decision changed her future life.

By chance, one of the five people who participated in the model catwalk next door was temporarily absent from the competition, and Lv Yan took part in the competition as a substitute. Although he didn't get a place in this competition, Lv Yan met Li Dongtian, the most important bole in his life.

Li Dongtian is the chief makeup artist of many film and television works. In his opinion, Lv Yan is his most successful work. When he first saw Lv Yan, he felt so beautiful. He is just an angel, a model who can best shape his role.

Li Dongtian designed the first model for Lv Yan, whose face was covered with freckles. At first, she made this photo into a huge poster and hung it on the crowded Wangfujing Street in Beijing. At that time, when she went to the relevant departments to go through the formalities, the staff also said why she was looking for such an ugly girl, which simply affected the city appearance. Even the onlookers thought it was an advertisement for freckles or something.

Who would have thought, however, that this photo turned out to be the one most used by magazines, and it was the appearance of this "Wangfujing Landmark" photo that made Lv Yan famous in World War I!

The road to the world supermodel counterattack

Lv Yan's popularity has not brought her much resources and benefits. At that time, people could not accept the idea that ugliness was beauty. When Lv Yan was in a panic, the French modeling agency extended an olive branch to her, so she went to Paris alone and started her modeling career.

In 2000, Lv Yan, aged 65,438+09, came to Paris for the first time. He doesn't know English or French, so communication is a problem. He had no friends, ate boiled eggs for several months, ran more than a dozen interviews a day, and didn't return to his rented house of several square meters until around 10 in the evening.

Relying on our own efforts, we overcame all kinds of difficulties and gradually took root in France.

Shooting the cover of VOGUE, a leading fashion magazine, participated in the catwalks of many famous brands in just a few months, and shot many blockbusters for it, which made it famous for a while, and Lv Yan's name became a household name in France.

The following year, Lv Yan returned to China to participate in the World Supermodel Competition, and won the runner-up with her "unexpected" temperament. You know, before that, the best ranking of China models in this competition was fourth.

Lv Yan said: "I represent the beauty of Asia, and it is time to break the western aesthetic concept."

Holding the trophy, many people's jaws were shocked. Since then, Lv Yan's career has climbed all the way to the top, and invitations for catwalks, filming and interviews have spread all over the world. Paris, new york, Milan, and Japan have their own aura of killing the enemy every time they appear, which can be said to be world-class supermodels.

After the rise of modeling, Lv Yan did not stay abroad, but returned to China to establish her own brand Comme Moi, which was sought after by many famous female stars from the beginning, including Shu Qi, Zhang Ziyi, Yang Mi and Sun Li.

In this way, this seemingly "ugly" girl, in the hot light, fought her way out among many popular beauties with all her cold eyes, not only achieved great success in her career, but also bravely pursued her own happiness in love.

Lv Yan's French husband is an investment consultant. They fell in love at first sight and she took the initiative to tie the knot. Now she has given birth to a mixed-race baby. Needless to say, the husband is handsome, and the son's face value is frequently searched.

Today's Lv Yan career love double harvest, her counterattack road just confirmed that sentence:

Living beautifully is the skill, no matter beautiful or ugly!
