In the modeling world, Li Xiaobai's name is always associated with Yue Mei, Li Bing, Wang Haizhen, Xie Dongna, Wu Yingna and others. It was he who turned these originally unknown beauties into supermodels worth tens of millions, so he was called "godfather of models".
However, the "godfather" started from an unknown small buyer.
From 65438 to 0974, Li Xiaobai, who graduated from high school, worked as a buyer in a street garage in Nanning with a monthly salary of 19 yuan. Because he often goes back to his hometown of Wuhan to buy auto parts, relatives take him all over the streets of Wuhan, including bronze statues, Gutian Road, fried buns, red packets, ribs and lotus root soup ... Wuhan in his memory is beautiful, lively and prosperous, while the citizens of this city are smart, capable and diligent. He is not afraid to pretend to be a "nine-headed bird".
But in fact, Li Xiaobai is just a passer-by. He grew up in Guangxi. 1978 when his parents transferred back to Wuhan, he went to Shanghai to go to college. After graduation, I worked in Beijing and went back to Wuhan to visit relatives. Nevertheless, in the interview, he occasionally speaks a few authentic Wuhan dialects to show his love for the city. He believes that it was the experience of purchasing in Wuhan that gave him the feeling of doing business and laid the foundation for him to become the "godfather of models".
Beauty won the prize and dared not speak out.
In 200 1 year, Li Xiaobai took Li Bing to South Africa to participate in the final of Miss World Competition. They didn't dare to say anything when they set out. Because there were still some "vague" views on beauty pageants in China at that time, he embarked on a trip to South Africa in a trance.
Li Bing finally won the fourth place in this competition, but Li Xiaobai's reaction was cold. Li Bing asked him strangely, "Are you dissatisfied with Manager Li?" Because, Li Xiaobai doesn't know what kind of evaluation they will get at home.
To Li Xiaobai's great surprise, they were widely praised and supported after they came back.
Li Xiaobai said modestly that although he was not the first person to eat crabs in the modeling field, he was the first person to eat crabs. Only he succeeded in unifying business operation, artistic expression and market demand, thus establishing the position of the new Silk Road in the industry. It was he who promoted Chinese people's understanding of beauty pageant through a series of modeling and beauty pageant activities. Now everyone thinks that model contests and beauty contests are fashionable and inevitable.
Wuhan beauty has great potential.
As the godfather of models, Li Xiaobai didn't create a famous model for his hometown, or even hold an exciting competition in his hometown. Li Xiaobai regrets this.
In Li Xiaobai's impression, Wuhan girls have a good complexion and a good head. He firmly believes that there is no shortage of beautiful women in Wuhan, but they have not been discovered. The reason may be related to the backward development of Wuhan model industry and the concepts and consciousness of models and agents. He sent a message that beautiful women in Wuhan and even Hubei should have the consciousness of going outward, not just staring at the local area. If the girl in her hometown has the strength to enter the new Silk Road, she will definitely give "care".
