There are only 20 minutes left before the show starts, and the backstage of the show is busy at this time. The staff performing their duties are making final confirmations through earphones. Walking into the backstage, Emily, Edward Razek, Michael Bay and others greeted him one after another, and the surrounding Victoria's Secret angels also warmly greeted Eric.
Seeing that the crowd looked like they were about to surround themselves, Eric waved his hand quickly and stopped him: "Keep busy, what's the matter, we'll talk about it later at the party."
There are a lot of things in everyone's hands, and the reason why they came here is because Eric's status is too special, so he had to come forward to say hello. Hearing what Eric said, Edward Razek, Michael Bay and others nodded their greetings and returned to their jobs. Only Emily stayed.
Eric glanced around the arena and saw five young people in their early twenties who were about to take the stage not far away. He asked Emily next to him, "Are they the Backstreet Boys?"
After confirming that Firefly Records would take the teen-pop (teenage pop) route, the company recruited the team from Exciting Records, which had created teenage pop idols such as Backstreet Boys, Super Boys, Britney Spears, etc. , and it is very coincidental that Barry Weiss and others who jumped over from Sony Records also brought a group of newcomers who just found, among them happened to be the descendants who pushed teen-pop to the world in their previous lives Street Boys group.
Emily followed Eric's gaze, nodded and said: "Yeah, since the release of the single in September, these young people have a very good upward momentum, and they will be performing a new song tonight. Hmm , I don’t know the specific situation, Barry Weiss should be in the front hall, if you have any questions, you can call him over.”
Eric shook his head and said with a smile: "No, just asking casually, I don't want to talk about work today."
Emily smiled and pointed to the make-up area full of Victoria's Secret angels, and said: "In this case, you can take care of yourself, I have a lot of things to do, now, your babies are all over there, but Don't mess around until the show is over."
Eric pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Are you doubting my professionalism?"
"Of course not," Emily shook her head, with a smile on her face, and said solemnly, "I'm doubting your character."
Eric shrugged speechlessly: "Okay, I surrender, it seems that I'd better go directly to the front hall."
Emily was about to leave when she heard the words: "But, I didn't reserve a place for you."
"Ah, isn't that too much?"
"Obviously you said in the last phone call that you might be too busy to come." Emily blinked her eyes, thought for a while and said, "However, you can sit on the steps in the aisle."
"..."
"That's it." Emily nodded to herself, very satisfied with her quick wit, and said, "Speaking of which, it is impossible for other people to be allowed to sit on the steps of the aisle. You have a special status and just enjoy it." This special treatment."
After Emily finished speaking, she heard a voice from the walkie-talkie in her hand, said a few words into the microphone quickly, then waved to Eric, and left in a hurry.
Eric is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, and it feels a little weird to think of himself sitting abruptly on the steps of the aisle alone.
I thought it would be great if I had a companion, but unfortunately, he came here alone today. Drew and Amy Pascal returned to Los Angeles after completing the negotiation with Morgan Stanley on the adjustment of the additional share price a few days ago. Chris, as Emily's boyfriend, was supposed to attend, but unfortunately, he flew to San Francisco the day before yesterday, and there were some funding problems in the R&D center responsible for mp3 players and e-book readers, so he needed to come forward to solve them. Certainly Virginia and Joanna would not accompany him to such an occasion.
Thinking boredly, Eric walked towards the make-up area. As a special spokesperson, Linda and the five always had some special treatment. The five of them occupied a row of make-up tables exclusively. At this time, only Linda and Tyra Ban Keith and Diane Kruger are sitting here. Cindy Crawford will be the opening of this session, and Christie Turlington will be closing the show. The two of them have already started to wait for the show.
"Hey, babies, you are so beautiful tonight," Eric greeted, carefully hugged the three of them gently, and nodded to the Victoria's Secret angels who looked around.
It took four hours for the women's makeup to be done. From the trembling eyes of the makeup artists next to them, it could be seen how worried they were about Eric accidentally ruining the three girls' makeup.
Seeing Eric sitting in the empty seat next to Diane Kruger, Linda played with the eyebrow pencil in her hand and said curiously: "Eric, I asked Emily, and she said you won't come over tonight Woolen cloth?"
"I think it would be a pity if I couldn't watch this big show for a while, so I rushed over," Eric replied with a smile, admiring Diane Kruger's delicate face against the golden hair , asked: "How does it feel to be filming?"
Diane Kruger nodded, and said in a low voice: "I'm not very good at acting, but Director Finch is a very patient person, and everyone takes good care of me."
At the beginning, Gwyneth Paltrow didn't like the small role in "The Seven Deadly Sins", so Eric conveniently gave the heroine to Diane Kruger. Work, Firefly has already set the schedule for Easter next year.
Eric said: "Then find more roles to exercise in the future. Your temperament is more suitable for professional women, so don't be too anxious to develop into the film industry. It is not too late to wait until you are 25 years old."
"Well, I listen to you," Diane Kruger nodded obediently.
Linda on the other side heard the conversation between the two, and joined in the fun with a smile: "Eric, what kind of female character do you think my temperament is more suitable for?"
"Your temperament is more suitable for staying in the model circle honestly, at most you can play a guest role as a host or something."
"You are jealous. Someone said that I have the temperament of an actress in the golden age of Hollywood."
"Yes, yes, it's a pity that the golden age has passed, and it will never return."
"snort."
Chatting endlessly, the music at the front desk suddenly rang. Eric could hear that it was waiting music. He looked at his watch and saw that there were still ten minutes before the official start.
As the music sounded, a staff member hurried over and said, "Miss Kruger, Miss Banks, it's almost time, it's time to change clothes."
The two women nodded and stood up.
Linda was the only one left in a row of makeup tables. The woman was obviously a little excited. She sat closer to Eric and asked in a low voice: "Eric, I bought an apartment in Greenwich Village, listen It is said that it was left by an artist, it is very beautiful, do you want to come and have a look tonight?"
Eric joked: "I actually prefer simple modern residences, and I may not appreciate artists' residences."
Linda patted Eric on the arm dissatisfied, and said, "Then why don't you come, if you don't come..."
Eric narrowed his eyes: "Oh, what are you going to do?"
"I, I'll invite Cindy home tonight."
"Okay, just send me a videotape tomorrow, I like little lesbian movies."
Linda tugged at Eric's sleeve in dissatisfaction: "Whether you come or not, it's fine if you don't come."
"Oh, okay," Eric just tuned Linda a little, then nodded.
"Then it's a deal. You are not allowed to date any other women tonight."
"Well, I promise."
Just as he was talking, the waiting music at the front desk stopped, and it seemed that the official performance was about to start. Linda looked at Eric who was sitting there indifferently, and said, "Aren't you going to the front?"
"Here's the thing, well, Emily didn't reserve a seat for me."
"Ah, hehe," Linda smiled in surprise, feeling that everyone around her seemed to be moving again, and at the same time the music sounded, knowing that the big show had started, she beckoned the makeup artist over to check the makeup, and said to Ai Rick said: "I'm about to change my clothes. I have two pairs of big wings tonight. They are very beautiful. It's a pity that you can't see them."
With a smile on the corner of Eric's mouth, he said, "It's okay, I can watch it sometime in private."
"Hmph, scoundrel, you must be thinking of something bad."
After a simple touch-up of makeup, the staff began to call, and Linda also got up and walked towards the changing room.
At this time, the music at the front desk had already sounded, and Eric listened to the somewhat familiar voice and tune. The five members of the Backstreet Boys don't have good looks, but their voices are the kind of magnetic voices that little girls like very much.
In addition to various cosmetic utensils, there are also some boxes containing fruit salad or chocolate on the dressing table. For tonight's big show, the Victoria's Secret Angels have to undergo more than two months of physical training, and have been on a diet in recent days. Not to mention some angel wings that weigh more than ten kilograms, the long-term excitement at the big show is also very exhausting, so since last year, Eric has let the angels prepare these small snacks, and this year is still the same. in this way.
Twirling a chocolate bean and throwing it into his mouth, Eric was considering whether he could find a seat at the photographer's place at the end of the runway to watch the live performance. Ke sat down next to him.
"Hi, Eric."
Eric turned his head, recalled it, and stretched out his hand to the woman with a smile: "Hi, Stephanie, you are beautiful tonight."
The woman in front of him was Stephanie Seymour, who accidentally replaced Heidi Klum last year. Eric remembered that this woman should be married to the publishing tycoon Peter Grant, but he didn't expect that she would still participate in Victoria's Secret this year. big show.
"Thank you for the compliment, Eric," Stephanie Seymour nodded with a smile, looking at Eric with rolling eyes.
Eric was a little uncomfortable being looked at by the woman's eyes, so he had nothing to say, and said, "How is Peter recently? I'm so sorry that I couldn't attend your wedding."
Stephanie Seymour said: "He's right up front, we're fine."
"Oh, then," Eric looked around, and said, "Everyone seems to have already started preparing?"
"Yeah," Stephanie Seymour said with a bit of regret on her expression, "However, I will only appear in the last theme, so don't worry."
From the woman's expression, Eric could probably guess something. As a publishing tycoon, Peter Grant's net worth exceeds one billion, and at his age, his conservative personality is almost certain. It is estimated that it is difficult for this kind of man not to have some opinions on his wife's participation in this kind of Neiyi show. Come to think of it, Stephanie Seymour can only participate in one themed catwalk tonight, which should be the result of a compromise between her and Peter Grant.
Thinking boredly in his heart, Eric found that he and Stephanie Seymour had nothing to talk about. This is not only a wife, but also a very tough woman. Eric still remembers Stephanie Seymour Seymour once pulled a group of ex-girlfriends of the lead singer of Guns and Roses to sue the other party for youth loss fees. This kind of woman Eric doesn't want to provoke, because he doesn't have the energy. Seeing that Stephanie Seymour didn't seem to want to leave, Eric returned the box containing the chocolate beans in front of her and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
"Thank you," Stephanie Seymour gracefully twisted a chocolate bean into her mouth, sucking slowly.
…
