Three minutes before the opening, Eric saw Emily walking into the show with the editor-in-chief of "Vogue" magazine Anna Wintour in person. Noticing that the two were walking towards him, Eric stood up on his own initiative. He was still very curious about this famous fashion devil.
Anna Wintour sports a bob as in all the images, just without her signature Prada shades.
"Eric, this is Ms. Anna Wintour, Anna, this is Eric." Although everyone knew each other, Emily explained to each other very formally.
"Hi, Mr. Williams, nice to meet you." Anna Wintour extended her hand to Eric enthusiastically.
Anna Wintour's voice was a little hoarse, giving off a tired feeling, but she spoke at a fast pace like many elites. Eric shook hands with the other party and said, "Me too, Ms. Wintour, just call me Eric."
The two sides chatted for a while, and Anna Wintour walked to her seat. Eric was about to sit in the seat just now, but was gently pulled by Emily. Eric had no choice but to let Cage and Bridget Fonda move to the left and sit back next to Anna Wintour.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Emily's female assistant walked away from the backstage with a brown bear in her arms, came out, and came to Eric: "Mr. Williams, time is too tight, I only found this ,do you think it's OK?"
Eric found out that the female assistant was holding a teddy bear. Thinking of an R-rated comedy that ruined his childhood, he subconsciously showed a somewhat evil smile, took the teddy bear from the female assistant, and said, "Okay, Thank you."
The female assistant smiled shyly, nodded to Emily next to her, and walked backstage again.
Many Hollywood stars who were invited to the show were looking at Eric from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many media reporters in the field, these people would have let go of their restraint and gathered together. Seeing that a staff member sent Eric a teddy bear inexplicably, most people seemed to have found a valid reason and looked over blatantly.
Eric gave Anna Wintour, who was about to talk to him, a waiting look, got up and came to Ivanka who was a few steps away, and handed the teddy bear to the girl: "Come on, Ennie, This is your mascot for tonight."
Ivanka took it subconsciously. Seeing that everyone around her was staring at her, the girl was embarrassed to throw the teddy bear away, so she could only hug her obediently in front of her, and at the same time looked at her father beside her, Donald, for help. .Trump also had a smile on his face. He was always a pushy person, after the release of "Jurassic Park". Ivanka once again appeared in the movie with a puppet in her arms, letting the whole world know the cute image of a girl. Of course, he, as a father, also felt very honored.
Seeing Eric stuff the teddy bear into Ivanka's arms, many people present understood instantly, and many people even laughed softly, while the media reporters standing outside also raised their cameras , There was a flash of spotlights in the arena.
Seeing that Eric was still cheeky and approaching him, he asked a nearby reporter to help take a group photo. Ivanka maintained a lovely image very ladylike, but after taking a group photo, she whispered in Eric's ear: "You bad guy. I will never act in your movie again."
"That's not okay. I paid the money. Are you going to break the contract, Miss Trump?"
"What about this time?" Ivanka raised the teddy bear in his hand. For some reason, he always felt that Eric looked at the little bear with an evil look in his eyes.
"How about a thousand dollars?"
"You have more money than my father, but you are only willing to give a thousand dollars. You are so stingy." Hearing this topic, Ivanka subconsciously began to bargain, which almost made Eric laugh out loud. Although Rita has become a young girl, the aura of a little money fan that Eric inadvertently planted in her bones still remains.
Eric said unhurriedly: "Why don't you make a price?"
Ivanka thought about it for a while, then plucked up her courage and said: "Ten thousand dollars!" After the girl finished speaking, she seemed to feel that she was a little 'lion's mouth', and with a blushing face, she quickly said: "I want to save the money for the future by myself. Tuition fees, then I won’t have to spend my dad’s money.”
"Well, ten thousand dollars is ten thousand dollars," Eric said with a look of heartache.
Ivanka completely ignored Eric's expression, her beautiful eyes lit up when she heard him agree, and she stretched out her little hand: "Here."
Eric spread his hands: "I don't have one now, I'll have someone give it to you after the fashion show is over."
The girl solemnly asked: "Then don't forget."
Eric returned to his seat, and Anna Wintour, who had been watching his every move, immediately said, "Eric, you are such an interesting person."
"Thank you, Anna."
Eric smiled and nodded. He felt that Anna Wintour's attitude was a bit too enthusiastic. After talking for a few words, Eric realized that Anna Wintour wanted to invite him to accept an exclusive interview with Vogue magazine. This woman is very eloquent. If it wasn't for Emily who interrupted a few words on the other side and skipped the matter lightly, Eric almost couldn't help but agree.
The plan didn't work out, and Anna Wintour didn't show any signs of inappropriateness. Half an hour later, the fashion show officially started.
Amid some weird and melodious music, the models began to walk on the catwalk.
Eric didn't feel anything about the clothes of the models on stage, but he was refreshed when he heard the accompanying music.
The lead singer of the song is a woman, her voice is slightly hoarse, and her low-pitched singing is like the confession of a ghostly woman in the lonely night.
"Eric, this is a song by the Cranberry band from Ireland called "Pretty". Buy a record and listen to it." Anna Wintour, who was beside her, noticed Eric's expression and explained proactively.
Eric nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and at the same time secretly squeezed the name of the song and the information of the Cranberry band in his heart.
Except for the song "pretty", there is nothing to see for Eric in the following catwalk.
After more than ten minutes, the fashion show ended, and most people left for the next show. And Eric, under Emily's arrangement, came to a nearby studio and took several sets of photos for the cover of "Vogue" magazine.
After finishing these things, it was already 8:30. Eric had just appeared in the banquet hall of the Hyatt Hotel, and some people who had been waiting for a long time took the initiative to come over.
In addition to Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda, Emily also invited seven or eight Hollywood stars. Of course, these people don’t expect to get anything from Eric right away. The main purpose is to get acquainted with each other. As long as Eric has an impression of which movie roles Firefly will suit them in the future, the success rate of getting the role will definitely increase greatly. .
While socializing, Eric walked to a sofa with Cage and Fonda and sat down, chatting about the movie before the fashion show started.
"It's probably a story about an introverted policeman in Manhattan and a waitress in a restaurant. Because of an accident, the policeman forgot to bring money. It happened that he had a lottery ticket in his hand, so he and the waitress It was agreed that if the lottery ticket was won, the two would share all the prize money equally. Later, the lottery ticket in Police Cha’s hand really won the prize. After some struggles, he finally made up his mind and distributed the one million dollar prize to that The waitress, and at the same time, the two of them came together smoothly... "
Cage's eloquence is not very good. If it was a completely unfamiliar story, Eric probably shook his head by now. However, he remembered this movie, and the amazing thing is that the male and female protagonists of this movie in the original time and space happened to be two people, Cage and Fonda. The name of the movie was "Love in a Fallen City", according to Eric. This movie doesn't have many bright spots, but it's not a bad movie either. It can only be said to be quite satisfactory. What the two of them say next will not bring much benefit to their careers. But it will not damage the cp effect of the two.
Eric truthfully told the two of his views.
"So, we still don't pick up," Bridget Fonda said after hearing Eric's evaluation.
Cage seems to have this awareness too.
Eric smiled and said, "If you don't plan to take this film, it's best not to let Michael Eisner know about our affairs, otherwise, he will definitely hate me."
"Of course I won't talk about it casually," Cage laughed, and he was also very aware of some entanglements between Michael Eisner and Eric: "Since I won't take this film, Eric , do you have a suitable role for me?"
Eric shook his head honestly: "Firefly has focused on large-scale special effects movies in the past two years, because the 'protagonists' of these movies are computer special effects. In order to save part of the cost, most of the time they use some second-line actors with excellent acting skills."
Cage shook his head regretfully, thought for a while, and said, "Eric, I think the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" you collaborated with Sony Pictures last time was very good. The director of Xiangjiang seems to be called..."
"John Wu," Bridget Fonda said beside him.
Cage nodded: "Yes, it's John Wu. I like his film style very much. The action design is really cool. Eric, do you think there is a possibility of cooperation between me and him?"
Eric had a weird expression on his face, wondering if this is the inertia of history
"John is shooting another film recently. However, he signed a total of three film contracts with us at the beginning, and there will be another one next year. If you are interested, I just have a suitable script for you."
Because the script of "Changing Face" has not yet had any clues, Eric did not tell Cage the specific plot, and the two sides made a preliminary agreement. Seeing that Cage got the script, of course Bridget Fonda was not to be outdone, but for this actress who was always in the second tier in the original time and space, Eric couldn't think of any suitable script for a while, so he could only tactfully express that Let's talk about suitable movies in the future.
Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda are not idle people. After chatting with Eric, the two left the reception in a hurry.
Emily socialized a lot at the reception, and at this time she also came to Eric with a glass of champagne.
"Emily, where's Ava?" Eric looked around and asked.
"They're taking a photo shoot, and it's going to be used in the magazine tomorrow, so it's probably going to be very late," Emily explained, and then gave Eric a blank stare: "She's Joan's sister, don't hit these bad guys. thought."
"..."
Eric could only roll his eyes speechlessly, and changed the subject: "Didn't you and Anna Wintour talk about it before, why would she want to invite me to participate in an interview with "Fashion"? "Fashion" "Is it a fashion magazine?"
"If Anna Wintour doesn't even know how to fight for such an opportunity, do you think she will become the editor-in-chief of "Vogue" magazine before she is thirty years old? Moreover, Anna Wintour is the editor-in-chief of "Vogue" magazine Since then, she has been imitating the thinking of Tina Brown when she ran Vanity Fair."
Hearing Emily say the name of "Vanity Fair", Eric also understood that "Vanity Fair" mainly focuses on the private life topics of high society stars and rich people. Since "Vogue" is imitating "Vanity Fair", invite yourself to Not too strange.
Watching Emily take a sip of champagne to moisten her throat, Eric smiled and said, "I did everything I should do tonight, what do you think of the effect?"
"Of course, it's great, Eric, thank you," Emily immediately became excited: "With the news materials accumulated tonight, the brand of Brighton Fashion Company will be spread all over the world immediately in the near future." All America, do you remember the head of buying at Marks & Spencer before the show?"
Eric nodded, thinking of the image of a middle-aged man with a beard.
"I talked with him for a long time, and the other party never let go, but seeing you appearing at the scene, as well as Nicolas Cage and others, he just promised me an order of 5 million US dollars, although many buyers Everyone is still thinking about it, but just tonight's orders have more than doubled last year. Eric, I plan to invest in another 20 specialty stores in major cities, do you think it's okay?"
"I don't really understand this, you can arrange it yourself."
Emily blinked: "I mean, if you invest $500,000 per store, you'll need about $10 million."
Although 10 million US dollars is not much, it is impossible for Brighton Fashion Company to not even get 10 million US dollars.
Noticing Eric's doubts, Emily took the initiative to say: "You guessed it right, the company has no money. Just this show, I spent more than 5 million dollars." (To be continued ..)
