Princess Diana's charity reception started at eight o'clock in the evening, and it took an hour to process the work emails in the mailbox. Eric and Christina had something to eat together, changed into dresses, and rushed to the adjacent garden five minutes ahead of time. Main Street of Kensington Palace.
As night fell, just as the lights were on, the black car left Huayuan Street and circled a small circle, and arrived at the destination after walking less than one kilometer.
Girls always yearn for fairy tales like princes and princesses. Although Christina has a precocious personality, she is no exception. Therefore, she is quite excited to see Princess Diana in person. For this reason, she carefully prepared a set of white Chanel dresses.
After getting out of the car and holding Eric's arm, Christina suddenly remembered that she had overlooked a very important thing, and asked in a low voice: "Eric, what should I call the princess later, is it Your Highness?"
Diana's title of 'His Royal Highness' was stripped when she divorced Prince Charles, and this girl obviously didn't pay attention to these.
Seeing Christina's serious appearance, Eric wanted to deliberately mislead her. Thinking that this occasion is not appropriate, he reminded: "You can call her Ms. Madam."
Christina nodded and said, "Oh, but I think His Highness is more polite."
Eric smiled and said, "It's impolite if you really say that, and maybe it will make her feel offended."
Christina was a little confused, so she just stuck out her little tongue quickly and hummed again.
The two were talking, and Diana had already greeted her with another middle-aged man in a light gray suit.
"Good evening, Eric, nice to meet you." As she approached, Diana reached out to Eric with a charming smile.
Eric shook hands with the other party, nodded slightly, and said, "It's nice to meet you too, ma'am."
"Diana, just call me Diana," Concubine Diana emphasized, then looked at Christina again, and said, "Who is this?"
Eric briefly introduced: "Her name is Christina Aguilera."
"Hello, Tina," Diana greeted Christina again before introducing the middle-aged man beside her: "Eric, this is Dodie Fayd."
Eric has just started to look at the middle-aged man in front of him. He looks about forty years old. Although the appearance of the Arab is not obvious, some typical features between the brows are also easy to distinguish. Due to the fact that most of the British media recently They are all hyping Diana's new love affair, and Eric also learned some information about the other party from the newspaper. What's interesting is that Dodi Feyd's declared profession turned out to be a film producer, and he was also named as an executive producer in Spielberg's "Captain ****" a few years ago.
After listening to Diana's introduction, Eric stretched out his hand to the other party and greeted her with a smile.
However, I don't know if it's an illusion, Eric felt that Dodi Fayd looked at him with some vigilance, and his attitude was not warm. After a short period of doubt, Eric couldn't help laughing in his heart. It seemed that Dodi Feyd regarded himself as a billionaire who approached Diana with some purpose. Moreover, Eric seems to have an incomparable advantage to Dodi Feyd in terms of wealth and power, even in appearance and age, and it is inevitable for the other party to feel a sense of crisis.
Diana obviously didn't feel Dodi Feyd's hostility towards Eric. After the two greeted each other, everyone walked into the banquet hall together, but she led Eric directly to a small donation box. , and then looked at him with bright blue eyes.
Eric smiled, feeling that the straightforward princess was a bit cute, and he didn't mind. He took out his checkbook and signed a check for 100,000 US dollars and put it in the donation box.
Diana waited for Eric to put the check into the donation box, and said with a smile: "Eric, thank you for your generosity. There are too many people in this world who need help."
"It's okay, this is what I should do," Eric nodded, ignoring Dodie Fayd, who had been staring at him signing the checkbook and then showing disapproval. The invitation letter for the reception stipulated that the guests should donate at least 5,000 pounds, and Eric had no intention of smiling. Based on his knowledge of this kind of party, $100,000 was probably the largest donation for this reception. There are so many charitable activities in Western society. Unless there is a special purpose, no rich man will casually give a donation of more than one million. Although Eric can afford it, he will not go out to show off the limelight.
"Then, please come with me, Eric, I will introduce some guests to you, they are looking forward to seeing you," Diana said, making a gesture of invitation, and walked side by side with Eric , paused and said: "Speaking of which, Eric, I'm your fan."
Eric heard that Diana liked pop music very much, which seems to be a point that Prince Charles, who is more advocating high-society entertainment, hated. Hearing this, he asked with a smile, "Then which one do you like best?"
Diana looked over and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Guess?"
"Um, Stronger?"
Diana shook her head and said, "No, guess again."
"New-Divide?"
"It's also a great song, but it's not," Diana continued to deny, and then chuckled: "Well, let me just tell you, it's "Young-and-Beautiful", I like it very much The gorgeous, disillusioned feeling that this song conveys is sentimental, yet intoxicating.”
Eric looked at the peerless beauty beside him who was still in full bloom, startled for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, you shouldn't like this song."
"Ah, why?" Diana was very puzzled.
Eric opened his mouth, shook his head again, and said, "It's nothing."
Diana did not continue to ask, hesitated for a while, and said: "Speaking of it, Eric, this may be a bit abrupt, but can you sing a song for everyone later?"
"If it's for you, of course it's fine," Eric nodded with compliments. If someone else made such a request to him, it would be cool to stay. But he didn't want to refuse the little request of the woman in front of him. Seeing Diana looking over with shame and joy on her face, Eric said again: "However, I have never received vocal training, and live performances are very difficult. Too bad, let Chrissy do it, and just sing your favorite, um, "Young-and-Beautiful."
When Diana first made the request, she didn't have high expectations, but when she heard Eric asking Christina to sing, she looked at the girl holding Eric's arm and looking like a little bird, with surprise and doubt in her eyes, Christina's small size makes it hard to believe that she can sing a song full of vicissitudes like "Young-and-Beautiful".
Eric saw Diana's mind and explained: "Don't underestimate Chris. She has been performing since she was eight years old. In terms of singing skills, she is definitely 100 times better than me."
"Oh, that's fine," Diana nodded when she saw Eric say that, turned her head and ordered the entourage behind her to make preparations, and then introduced some important guests at the reception to Eric.
The time soon came to eight o'clock in the evening, and there were already about 200 guests in the banquet hall. After introducing a few guests to Eric, Diana walked to the small stage of the banquet hall and made a brief speech. Speech, and then the reception officially began.
While raising money for this type of reception, it is actually providing guests with a social occasion where they can expand their network. Eric skillfully dealt with the guests who came forward to strike up a conversation. He thought that there would be no gain tonight, but He accidentally discovered a target that interested him, Simon Fuller, the owner of a music entertainment company.
In the original time and space, many people may have never heard of the name Simon Fuller, but almost no one does not know the smash hit Spice Girls and the enduring "American Idol", both of which are Simon Fuller. Built by Fuller.
However, after talking with Simon Fuller for a few words, Eric recalled the information in his mind, and suddenly discovered one thing, what about the Spice Girls
It is now 1997, according to the past history, this is the moment when the Spice Girls are soaring into the sky, but right now, Eric has not seen any information about the Spice Girls. Moreover, it was later that he broke up with the Spice Girls. In order to replicate this combination model, Simon Fuller had the idea of making a music reality show, and it was out of control. Except for the most well-known "American Idol" ", the 'Pop Idol' draft mode created by Simon Fuller has appeared in different versions in more than 70 countries when it was at its most brilliant.
