After breakfast, seeing off her daughter and Jennifer Garner, Kelly Hines returned to the house, and Eric had already gone downstairs, with a suit and tie hanging on his arm, and a newspaper in his hand.
Kelly stepped forward, gently reached out to button the collar of Eric's shirt, helped the man tie his tie, and asked, "What did you guys talk about for so long?"
"A very smart girl, just gave me a few pointers," Eric said, leaning over and kissing the female assistant's lips.
Kelly smiled and pushed away Eric who was coming up, and continued to wear a tie, remembering Jennifer Garner's flushed face after she went downstairs, and said: "Then Jane is so lucky, I thought you did something What about other things?"
Eric didn't mention what happened just now, and said casually: "She's not my type, you must know that."
Kelly fastened the tie, checked it again, and asked with a smile: "Then what type do you like?"
Eric laughed and stretched out his arms to wrap around the soft waist of the female assistant, saying, "Of course you are."
Feeling that Eric seemed to want to push herself to the sofa, Kelly blushed and hurriedly said: "No, Eric, it's already 8:05, I have to be at the company before nine o'clock."
Although there is still nearly an hour before nine o'clock, Eric also knows that the roads in Los Angeles will be very congested during working hours, and if you don't start early, you may be late. After kissing the female assistant on the cheek, Eric let her go, handed over the "Los Angeles Times" in his hand, pointed to a piece of news on it, and said: "Ronald Perelman's Andrews Holdings The Group suddenly announced yesterday that it has purchased USD 400 million in long-term bonds of Firefly. I don’t think this matter will be so simple. It may involve these recent events. You bring this newspaper to Katzenberg and the others. I will We will see the relevant report in the afternoon.”
Kelly heard Eric talking about business. Also showing a professional expression, he quickly scanned the brief press release, nodded and said, "I will hand it over to Mr. Katzenberg as soon as possible."
Eric thought of Chris who had returned to New York from Boston. He had asked Chris to pay attention to the relevant news of Marvel, since Ronald Perelman, the actual controller of Marvel, was involved. Then he said: "Also, let Chris know and let him pay attention to this matter."
Kelly nodded again, and added: "Do you still need to notify Mr. Buffett?"
"They must already know, but let's make an official announcement. I think Buffett and David West will definitely be able to see some clues."
…
After Kelly drove to Firefly headquarters in Burbank, Eric also rushed to Firefly Studios in Playa Vista.
Compared to Burbank, which is 20 kilometers away, Playa Vista is less than 10 kilometers away from Santa Monica. And the road conditions are far better than urban areas. It took Eric only 20 minutes to arrive at the film studio. Thinking of yesterday's request for a meeting between Peter Schneider and Roy Disney, director of the animation department, Eric also planned to talk to the other party, so he didn't go directly to Victoria's Secret in the studio studio, but came to his own office.
Turned on the computer to process a few emails, and inadvertently looked at the time, and found that it was already a quarter past nine, Eric frowned, and just about to call to ask what was going on, there was a knock on the office door.
Eric thought it was Peter Schneider and Roy Disney who had arrived. Although the other party was fifteen minutes late, Eric is not a harsh boss, not to mention that the two parties are likely to part ways in the future. Then he said to the door as usual: "Please come in."
The one who opened the door and came in was the secretary of his studio office.
The female secretary glanced at Eric's face, seemed a little cautious, and said, "Mr. Williams, I just received a call from Mr. Peter Schneider. He said that he was in a hurry, so he couldn't come here."
Eric shook his head and smiled. He didn't know whether it was self-deprecating or something else, and said, "Since they want to cancel the meeting, why didn't they call in advance. If they have to wait until the time has passed, are they kidding me?"
It was also the first time for the female secretary to encounter a subordinate who put the boss down in such a rude way. Ben realized that the young boss would get angry when he heard Eric's question. Shrinking Bai Xi's neck helplessly, he said in a low voice, "Mr. Williams, this... I don't know about this either."
Eric suddenly lost interest in pursuing this matter, waved to the female secretary, and said, "Forget it, you can go back to work."
The female secretary exited the office as silently as a cat. Eric finished reading some emails patiently. Most of the restlessness in his heart disappeared. He turned off the computer and left the administrative building to the Victoria's Secret studio in the studio area.
As soon as he walked into the busy studio, Edward Razek, the deputy project assistant of the Victoria's Secret show, greeted him with Todd Thomas, the chief designer of Victoria's Secret, and said, "Eric, the one you designed yourself The British military wind angel suit has been completed, do you want to see it?"
Eric felt that Edward Razek's attitude seemed a little eager today, but he didn't care, and nodded.
The three of them walked to a work area together, and Eric saw the plastic model's angel outfit in memory at first sight, the striking red of the British classic military uniform and the stunning black wings behind it, this is the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show The second costume for the opening of the show, the model is Behati Prinsloo nicknamed 'Little Pumpkin'. As a senior uniform controler, Eric's most impressive thing about that Victoria's Secret show was this British military-style angel outfit, apart from stealing the spotlight and snatching a girl who had no friends.
Moreover, Eric did not choose this angel suit for no reason. The theme provided by the Victoria's Secret design team happened to have a set of British style. Since he had a ready-made template in his mind, Eric decided on this theme decisively. Changed the title of the theme to a term that has just become popular in the rock world in recent years, the British Invasion. However, apart from this military uniform style, Eric did not come up with other angel outfits to grab the work of the design team. Anyway, the British elements are nothing more than gentlemen, footballs, umbrellas and so on.
Edward Razek and Todd Thomas were also very satisfied with the angel suit that Eric took out. The three stood side by side and admired it for a while. Edward said: "Eric, why don't you find a fashion model to wear it on?" Let's see the effect?"
"No," Eric shook his head. Said: "Call and ask Miss Kruger to come over and try it out for herself. I specially designed this angel outfit for her."
Diane Kruger, who was just eighteen years old, has a lot of similarities with the 'Little Pumpkin' in her memory. It's perfect for her to wear this angel outfit. Eric didn't plan to immediately put on a sky-high bra this year. Therefore, whether it is the stunning degree or the meaning it represents in the British theme, the angel outfit in front of me can be used as the opening of the first Victoria's Secret show.
The first batch of Victoria's Secret Angels who signed the contract have already entered the training camp at this time, and Diane Kruger is of course no exception. Hearing Eric's order, Todd Thomas took the initiative to walk away and call to inform the other party.
Edward Razek felt that Eric must be in a good mood at this time, so he said, "Eric, we have yet to confirm the last spokesperson, Miss Schiffer..."
Eric patted his head. Said: "Oh, I've been so busy recently, I almost forgot about it. Claudia has contracts with other Neiyi brands. I'm afraid she can't participate in the catwalk. Do you have anyone to recommend?"
Edward Razek thought that even if there was no such obstacle, Claudia Schiffer would definitely not participate in the Victoria's Secret catwalk now.
But he didn't show his thoughts, he hesitated, and said: "Eric, Miss Cindy Crawford contacted us yesterday. She said that she still hopes to participate in this Victoria's Secret show, and can fully cooperate with the project schedule."
"Isn't she already..." Eric said half of it absent-mindedly, and suddenly turned to look at Edward Razek. He smiled and said, "Did something happen?"
Edward Razek realized that Eric might really not know about it, so he explained: "Warner suddenly fired Miss Crawford, and handed over the heroine of "Fighting the Communists" to Miss Schiffer."
Eric suddenly realized that Joe Silver must still be a little unwilling, and wanted to pull himself into the game by letting Claudia join that unlucky project. However, Eric seldom asks what movies women will pick up now, and unless it is some special movies, women will not bother her with these things, so Joe Silver's calculation was wrong from the beginning up. If the project is still the same as before, then if Claudia accepts the film contract. It will definitely have a big impact on her popularity. In the original time and space, Cindy Crawford completely ruined her career in Hollywood 'by virtue of' this film.
However, on second thought. Even if the movie still flutters, it has its own presence. It is absolutely impossible for Claudia to be reduced to the end of Cindy Crawford, so Eric canceled the intention of mixing.
Noticing Edward Razek who was waiting for his reply, Eric realized that the deputy must have been entrusted, and said with a smile: "If you think it's appropriate, then the last spokesperson spot will be given to Cindy Crow Fu."
Cindy Crawford is the most popular among the supermodels, and she even had her own TV show a few years ago. Victoria's Secret's first show is playing the public card, and adding such a supermodel can just increase popularity. Eric didn't even give the other party a chance to speak at the "True Lies" celebration party, mainly because this woman was a little greedy and wanted to have both movies and catwalks. What got squeezed was definitely rehearsal time at Victoria's Secret. Eric attaches the same importance to this big show as he did when shooting the film, and of course such a restless factor will not be allowed to exist.
Edward originally thought that Eric would refuse, but he didn't expect him to agree so simply, his face was a little weird instead.
"Edward, you don't think I messed up her heroine chance, do you?"
Edward came to his senses, smiled, and said, "Recently, many people in the circle think so, but I don't think so now."
Eric didn't mind the little gossip revealed by Edward, shrugging his shoulders and said: "Although I don't know exactly what twists and turns happened in it, Cindy Crawford looks more like the one that got hurt. Chiyu, and I didn't expect Joe Silver to invite Claudia, but well, since the benefits fall on my woman, I will take the blame."
Edward felt that what Eric said was very interesting, so he smiled, but he didn't quite understand the stalk that caused the fish in the pond, so he asked curiously.
"Oh, it's very simple." Eric explained: "There was a fire in the city, and the residents drained the water in the moat to fight the fire, and then. The fish died of thirst."
Edward Razek nodded and said: "This is very similar to a fable, but I have never heard of it."
"The fable of the East. It's no wonder you haven't heard of it."
Edward Razek didn't continue to ask, and said: "Miss Crawford is still waiting for news, why don't I call her to discuss the contract?"
"Okay," Eric nodded casually, and asked again: "How's the music selection?"
"Five songs have been selected for each theme, and I will ask Sam to bring them to you."
…
Cindy Crawford felt that the experience of the past few days was really terrible. In order to force her to participate in the Victoria's Secret catwalk, the nasty bastard not only ruined the movie role she had spent months trying to win. And what's even more irritating is that the other party handed over the role that originally belonged to him to his Qingren.
If it's just like this, it's fine, because the news that Eric wants to target her has spread inexplicably in the circle. Not only did some of her contacts in Hollywood immediately stay away from her, but even the several endorsement contracts that are being negotiated. She was suddenly withdrawn by the merchant. According to her agent's inquiry, the other party was worried that Eric Williams' targeting would cause her to be blocked.
Although she is very smart, she still can't figure out why Eric Williams blocked himself, even though he now owns the largest media group in North America. But it is impossible to affect all media, right
Asked her agent, but her agent couldn't tell the reason, but still suggested that if she wanted to continue her career. It is best to take the initiative to compromise with the other party.
asshole!
Bitchi!
Looking at the huge studio outside the car window, Cindy Crawford cursed loudly from the bottom of her heart, but after the driver opened the door, the woman with an ugly face returned to her previous charming and elegant appearance in less than a second. After getting out of the car, he even threw a charming smile at the stunned driver.
Cindy Crawford had always enjoyed the way men swooned over her. It's just that she didn't realize that if she wasn't obsessed with this attention-grabbing feeling like an addiction, she wouldn't need to pay so much to maintain this aura.
Agent Jeremy got off the passenger seat. The two were about to walk towards the studio when another car also stopped in front of the studio.
Diane Kruger was training tablecloths. Hearing Eric's call, he hurriedly changed into his practice clothes and rushed over. Because she hadn't expected it, she was simply wearing a t-shirt and jeans today. Therefore, after getting off the car, I happened to meet Cindy Crawford, who was wearing a black low-cut dress with a strong aura, and I couldn't help feeling a little inferior.
Cindy Crawford glanced at this young girl who was personally picked by Eric, looked up and down, a trace of jealousy flashed in her heart, but there was an undisguised sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.
What a man with bad eyesight.
Thinking of this, when she saw someone coming out of the studio, Cindy Crawford's expression immediately returned to normal, thinking that the other party was here to pick her up, she greeted her with a smile.
"Cindy, why are you here?" As the chief designer of Victoria's Secret, Todd Thomas certainly knows Cindy Crawford, but he said hello before waiting for the other party to answer, Todd Thomas He eagerly waved to Diane Kruger: "Miss Kruger, let's go in quickly, Mr. Williams has been waiting for you for a long time."
Diane Kruger nodded, but didn't say hello to Cindy Crawford, and hurriedly followed Todd Thomas into the studio.
Cindy Crawford and her manager Jeremy, who had been left on the sidelines like this, showed embarrassing expressions at the same time and looked at each other. The tall guard stretched out his hand to stop him.
In order to prevent the information of the Victoria's Secret show from being leaked in advance, the guards of the studio were ordered that if any unauthorized person entered the studio, they would pack up and leave immediately.
Therefore, although Todd Thomas greeted the girl just now, neither of them showed their pass, and they were not notified, and the guard did not dare to let the other party in at the risk of losing his job.
Being so neglected, Cindy Crawford felt that the hatred in her heart had risen a lot again, and it was almost about to burst out. His manager, Jeremy, seemed more mature, and took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Edward Razek invited us here."
The guard nodded and said, "Sorry, sir, I need to ask first."
Because it was only a studio, there was no intercom installed at the doorman. The doorman who was talking said something to another companion, and then walked into the studio.
After a few minutes, the other party came back again, and simply waved his hand to signal Cindy Crawford to go in.
Cindy Crawford clenched her fist unconsciously, but she already had an urge to turn around and leave. The little bitch who was like an ugly duckling just now had someone to pick her up. She came in person, but there was no one to greet her. No, what is this!
But Jeremy didn't want Cindy Crawford to turn around and leave because of anger. If this employer was really blocked, it would be difficult for him to find such a profitable supermodel client. to his own income. Pulling the girl, Jeremy whispered, "Cindy, let's go in."
Cindy Crawford felt that the two guards must be mocking her now, but Jeremy's words seemed to give her a step, nodded, and Cindy Crawford passed on a cold expression. Walk into the studio where the music is playing. (To be continued.)
