"So, what were you talking about just now?" Eric asked casually after sitting down.
Elizabeth Hurley leaned next to Eric without a trace, and said with great interest: "Candice just talked about Manolo Blahnik, and next month he will hold his own new product launch at the Gramercy Park Hotel Yes, hnik, I love this high-heeled shoes brand to death. Nowadays, the designs of many high-heeled shoes brands are becoming more and more grotesque. Only Manolo Blahnik can stick to the generous and elegant design style. Next month I must find a way to attend this press conference, oh, by the way, Candice, what date did you just say?"
"The 3rd, November 3rd," Candice Bushnell replied with a smile.
Elizabeth Hurley took out the memo from her handbag, brushed it down seriously, and said to Eric, "Eric, do you know Molo Molanik?"
Eric has heard of it, and in the episodes of "Sex and the City" in his memory, this high-heeled shoe brand that makes the heroine Carly is crazy is mentioned very frequently, but what he knows is only limited to the name.
Glancing at Anne Sweeney and Candace Bushnell who were smiling as usual on the opposite sofa, Eric sighed secretly that Elizabeth Hurley was still a little immature in front of these two women with high IQ and high EQ. Women who are smart enough will not chatter about fashion brands in front of men, because most men are unlikely to understand them, and there are not a few who are disgusted, because these fashion brands often have the potential to max out men's credit cards. Attributes.
Eric saw that the two women not only did not take the initiative to help change the subject, but rather contributed to the flames, he probably realized something in his heart.
After chatting casually for a while, Eric said to Anne Sweeney and Elizabeth Hurley: "Anne, Liz, can you give me and Candice some time, I want to talk to her about the script."
Anne Sweeney stood up and said, "Of course, let's talk, oh, Liz, come with me, the dim sum in this restaurant is very good, I will take you to try it."
If Elizabeth Hurley wanted to talk about the script, wouldn't it be more appropriate for her as the heroine to be present. But she didn't mean to disobey Eric, and walked away with Anne Sweeney.
After Anne Sweeney and Elizabeth Hurley walked away, Candice Bushnell sat down beside Eric, raised her left leg gracefully, and straightened her skirt before asking: "Ah Rick, is there anything wrong with the script I submitted?"
Eric looked at the woman next to him with great interest. The general view is that Western women are easy to look old, but the goblins around Eric always break this rule frequently. Catherine will not talk about it, Joanna The same is true, the Candice Bushnell in front of me and the Anne Sweeney who just left are both thirty-seven or eighteen years old, but their beautiful appearance is not inferior to Elizabeth Hurley, but a few more Very mature flavor.
Without answering Candace Bushnell's words, Eric took a sip of the champagne in his hand, leaned on the sofa, and made it easier for him to appreciate the intellectual beauty in front of him, saying: "The problem with the script is not big, it's just some Small details, so, I think you can talk about the heroine first?"
A strange look flashed across Candice Bushnell's face, realizing that Eric had seen something from the details of the conversation just now, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Eric, I don't think Miss Hurley is the right fit for the role of Carrie Bradshaw."
After saying this, Candice Bushnell kept his eyes on Eric as much as possible, not letting his guilty conscience show. It's just that the hand holding the wine glass has become a little tighter unconsciously.
At the age of 19, Candace Bushnell came to New York alone because she yearned for a metropolitan life. However, it was not as easy as she imagined to settle down in Manhattan. At first she could only rely on The newspaper writes children's stories to make ends meet. In recent years, it has its own column in the "New York Observer". Xiao is actually a true portrayal of her.
The copyright of "Sex and the City" was personally selected by Eric Williams, which made her realize that this would be an important turning point in her life. Therefore, she pays more attention to this TV series than anyone else. In recent days, in order to write a satisfactory script, she has repeatedly revised and deliberated, and she even suffered from mild anxiety attacks.
After hearing that Lifetime TV confirmed Elizabeth Hurley as the heroine candidate, she immediately found many videotapes of the other party in the past, and then found that the British supermodel did not match the heroine image she imagined.
The candidate was chosen by Eric Williams herself. She knew that she had no room for resistance, and she had secretly persuaded herself to accept it silently, but during the contact with Anne Sweeney, she felt that this AE The female president of the TV network seemed to be dissatisfied with the choice of the heroine, and the two parties reached some consensus in private, which led to today's scene.
Eric heard this, and looked at Candice Bushnell quietly, seeing this beautiful woman who was at least ten years older than him physically, with a confident expression. To satisfy some bad tastes. After more than ten seconds, Eric noticed that the glass in the woman's hand trembled a little, and Eric raised his hand and said, "Go on, convince me."
When Candice Bushnell said what he just said, every time he thought of Eric's first identity, the pressure increased a little, and he regretted more and more in his heart. He secretly scolded himself hundreds of times, how good this time is The chance to cooperate with Eric Williams, she will definitely be among the famous writers in the future, and her future works will also attract more people's mad rush, now... If I mess up, I will be even more in the future There is no future.
God, what have I done, God...
Eric just made a small joke subconsciously. He didn't know that he spoke at the right time, and almost pulled the woman in front of him back from the brink of collapse.
Candice Bushnell, whose mind was buzzing, faintly heard Eric speak, and finally realized that there was a chill on her back, which made her realize that she had just sweated a little, and couldn't help thinking about the dress again , This is rented, it is stained with sweat, and it will be troublesome when returning it.
Eric saw the woman's eyes flashing again and again, but he didn't speak, and asked suspiciously: "Candice?"
Candace Bushnell quickly raised his head and said, "Yes, oh, I want...to convince you."
Eric almost retracted his evaluation of Candice Bushnell's high IQ and EQ just now, rolled his eyes, and said, "So, you continue?"
Candice Bushnell felt a hint of impatience in Eric's tone, took a deep breath, and said: "It's like this, Mr. Williams, first of all, Miss Hurley is British, and she is with Carly Bradshaw's identity is completely out of line."
She unknowingly changed the name of Eric again, and subconsciously felt that it would be easier to call it that way.
"That's not a reason," Eric shook his head, not paying attention to Candice Bushnell's change of address, and said, "You should have heard it just now, Liz's American accent is already very standard."
"Of course, I have to admit this," Candice Bushnell subconsciously echoed. When she heard Elizabeth's pure British accent in the video tape, it was the place where she least recognized the other party's heroine candidate. , but when we got along just now, Elizabeth Hurley deliberately showed the American accent that she had just cultivated recently, but she couldn't fault it.
Eric was amused by Candice Bushnell's answer: "Candice, you have to understand that you are convincing me now."
"Oh," Candice Bushnell said, a little embarrassed, "then, the most important point, me and... I think Miss Hurley is too beautiful."
"Then what?"
Candace Bushnell said: "If this TV series is aimed at male audiences or a wider audience, Miss Hurley is more suitable. But this is a TV series aimed entirely at urban fashion women. You know, Most of the women in this world don't have Miss Hurley's beautiful face and hot body. If she were to be the heroine, 90% of the potential viewers would not have any sense of substitution. In addition, this TV series A very important topic focuses on fashion. Many plot shots will be used to show that various fashion brands have the effect of turning a sparrow into a phoenix on women. The addition of temperament is difficult to reflect, and the negative impact of this on the drama is also very well-known. Based on these, I think that the heroine should be more in line with the average level of urban women, with a slightly more frequent appearance, but sometimes It will look radiant."
Eric nodded: "Well, a good reason, is there any more?"
Noticing the change in Eric's expression, Candice Bushnell finally relaxed. The young 'Mr.Big' should have listened to his own words.
Well, at least, this incident will not have any negative impact on her. Although there is another reason in my heart, it was Anne Sweeney who told her in private. Anne Sweeney herself felt that Elizabeth Hurley's acting skills were not good enough during the audition. Join the topic of persuading Eric, but at this time Candice Bushnell doesn't want to add more superfluous things at all, so let Anne Sweeney do it herself.
Shaking her head, she said, "Mr. Williams, that's all, nothing more."
Eric nodded with a smile on his face: "Do you like to call others Mr.?"
Candice Bushnell's face was a little unnatural, and she also realized that she was just not confident enough, but she would not take the initiative to admit it. She relaxed, and her usual shrewd personality returned a little bit, and asked: "Why are you so ask?"
"I often see Mr.Big in your novels, heh, seriously, does this guy have a prototype?"
Candice Bushnell realized that Eric had unknowingly pulled the topic away from the question just now, but she didn't have the courage to ask Eric to give an accurate answer at this time, and followed his topic Dao: "There is a prototype. Mr. Big is a publishing executive of the Newhouse Group, named Ron Garotti. He has been in charge of the publishing of many magazines. I have had some cooperation with him."
"Oh," Eric nodded, but somehow he thought of another Mr.Big in a certain Disney animation in his previous life. It felt a little funny. In the traditional concept, Mr.Big should mean the boss, almost the same as the godfather. Quite, said: "Let's not talk about Ron Galloti, I don't know him anyway, just talk about your hero, I am a little puzzled by his character setting, this is why I read your script outline and The doubts arose in the scripts of the first two episodes, the character setting of this person is a bit blurred?"
Candace Bushnell thought for a while and said, "First of all, he is a man with a very successful career."
"This can be seen," Eric said, "What about the character?"
"His character...should be somewhat indecisive, so he doesn't like strong and independent women."
