As it is close to Central Park, the "lung of Manhattan", and it is late at night, the surrounding air looks very fresh, without the smog of the metropolis at all.
Eric responded, stopped talking, and concentrated on enjoying the rare silence in the night.
As one of the most well-known supermodels in the 1990s, Stephanie Seymour has seen countless men trying to get close to her, so she naturally has the unique pride of a beautiful woman. The tepid response to Eric during several encounters was almost a setback for her.
Eric's appearance just now gave Stephanie Seymour a strong confidence again, and she was sure that Eric was following her up secretly.
Although married, Stephanie Seymour has never been a woman who rests in the ordinary. She likes being a celebrity and living a life surrounded by the spotlight. She just turned 30 this year. Although this is usually the most attractive age for a woman, for models, according to the previous rules, this has reached the age of retirement.
However, the Victoria's Secret show and the emergence of many things in recent years have changed everything.
Since Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and others who are a few years older than her can maintain their influence in the entertainment circle for a long time by virtue of their status in the Victoria's Secret Legion and the TV programs in their hands Power, Stephanie Seymour felt, and she could do it too.
Of course, the premise of this matter is that she must first get a chance.
Thinking of this, Stephanie Seymour felt a little resentful in her heart.
After "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway" became popular, from "Sex and the City" to "Desperate Housewives", which just ended its first season, she tried her best to fight for it, but she was always caught by the girl next to her. The man mercilessly refused.
Now, the cat finally couldn't help but want to steal.
hum.
Snickerd a few times triumphantly in her heart, seeing that Eric was silent, Stephanie Seymour would naturally not take the initiative to speak again.
only.
One minute passed, two minutes passed, five minutes passed.
Still couldn't hold it back, Stephanie Seymour glanced at Eric beside her, seeing him looking at the street lights on the road downstairs, looking like an old god, she couldn't help but get angry, she could barely bear it. With a temper, he said, "Eric, don't you think this is boring?"
"No," Eric withdrew his thoughts and looked at the woman beside him. After a few contacts, he naturally couldn't understand Stephanie Seymour's thoughts, but he didn't care too much. The smell is still very good, as long as there is a beautiful and fragrant woman next to me, I will not feel bored."
Stephanie Seymour pursed her lips deliberately, and said, "Are you admiring, or teasing?"
Eric said solemnly: "Under normal circumstances, it should be considered teasing, but you should understand it as appreciation."
Stephanie Seymour was taken aback when she heard the words, then snorted lightly, gave Eric a look and said, "I really don't know whether to say you are very courageous or too timid."
Eric narrowed his eyes, smiled playfully, and said, "Actually, I am very courageous."
Stephanie Seymour seemed oblivious to the 'danger', and continued to tease: "Oh, then you can prove it to me?"
"Okay," Eric nodded, turned slightly sideways, and stretched out a hand.
The two were standing at the corner of the fence on the roof. Eric reached out and grabbed the woman's waist, and turned the soft body in front of him roughly to the other side of the fence. Stephanie Seymour didn't expect Eric to be so 'direct', and her mind was a little dazed, following the man's strength and leaning on the left railing, posing a somewhat shameful posture.
A little more sober, Stephanie Seymour was about to express her resistance when she felt Eric sticking up from behind and leaning into her ear, his tone seemed to be teaching an ignorant child: "Woman, you should be quiet. When it’s time, be quieter.”
"you… "
Realizing that she had been tricked, Stephanie Seymour was about to retort shyly and angrily, when she felt Eric dodge quickly, but there was another crisp sound of 'pop—' on the quiet rooftop, and the stabbing pain from her buttocks The pain made Stephanie Seymour's legs go limp and she almost fell to the ground.
"Eric Williams, you bastard."
In the stairwell, Eric shrugged and listened to the somewhat exasperated female voice next to his ear, and continued to walk downstairs along the stairs.
Back in the party hall, a guest was sitting by the piano in the corner playing music for everyone. Eric took another glass of red wine, wrapped his arms around Giselle who was walking over, and came to Chris and Emily. beside.
After the guest finished playing, everyone applauded in unison, and the atmosphere in the hall returned to lively again.
Chris then asked Eric, "Why have you been here for so long?"
"The wind was blowing on the roof for a while," Eric explained, and then said: "Also, just now John Mark hoped that we could speed up Yahoo's IPO process."
Chris nodded, not surprised. He could also guess Eric's reply to the other party. He didn't ask much, but just smiled: "It seems that John and the others are really under a lot of pressure."
"I don't intend to participate in this," Eric said with a smile, "We just need to keep our own rhythm."
Although the cooperation between Firefly and Morgan Stanley has been very pleasant, the relationship between the two parties is far from reaching the point where Eric can change Yahoo's IPO strategy for him. Although Chris has worked at Morgan Stanley, his relationship with Morgan Stanley's management is now limited to business cooperation.
After being slapped by Eric on the rooftop, Stephanie Seymour didn't come to pester her anymore, but looked at Eric from afar with resentment in her eyes.
The party went on until twelve o'clock at midnight, and Eric took Giselle away.
It took two days to watch the ABC Group's new year's TV program presentation, and it was Friday in a blink of an eye.
After "The Day After Tomorrow" raked in US$73.75 million in the first three days, it earned another US$37.99 million in the following four working days.
In the end, the box office of this special effects sci-fi blockbuster reached 111.74 million U.S. dollars in its first week, becoming the first film in this year's summer season to break 100 million in its first week.
In comparison, "Lethal Weapon 4", whose production cost was as high as 140 million US dollars, only broke through the 100 million US dollar mark in the fourth week of its release, reaching 100.15 million US dollars. Facing the strong impact of "The Day After Tomorrow" , The single-week box office of this film has also dropped to 6.8 million US dollars. In the next two weeks, it can barely push the total box office of the film to a height of 110 million US dollars. This is only the first-day box office of "The Day After Tomorrow".
In addition, "The Patriot", which was released in the third week of release, and "The Truman Show", which was released in the second week, were also affected by "The Day After Tomorrow", and the box office fell sharply in a single week.
Two consecutive "Bad Boys" have been sold well, and the third film he directed has directly achieved a breakthrough of 100 million in the first week. Michael Bay can be said to be in the limelight for a while.
On the other hand, as the director of "The Patriot", Roland Emmerich is in a rather embarrassing situation.
Everyone knows that "The Day After Tomorrow" was supposed to be Roland Emmerich's project, but Roland Emmerich gave up the film under the lure of Sony's huge director's salary, and chose to direct Sony Pictures instead. "Godzilla".
The tepidity of "Godzilla" directly hit the director's "Godhead" that Roland Emmerich had just condensed, and the performance of the current "Patriot" is even more unsatisfactory.
Within three weeks of its release, the box office of "The Patriot" was only 87 million US dollars, and the box office stamina was not as good as that of "Lethal Weapon 4".
After being besieged by paparazzi for many days asking how he felt about the box office gap between "The Patriot" and "The Day After Tomorrow", Roland Emmerich simply disappeared and left Los Angeles under the pretext of a vacation. No one knew where the other party was going. where.
In the past, Roland Emmerich's pinnacle work was undoubtedly "Independence Day", and then, after experiencing the failure of "Godzilla", Roland Emmerich seemed to be a little depressed.
After many years, he barely regained his strength with "The Day After Tomorrow", but soon fell into a big stumble on "Ten Thousand Years Before History". Even for the subsequent "2012", although the global box office was good, it was mainly due to the result of doomsday marketing, and the film's reputation was not good. After "2012", Roland Emmerich's works are basically saving pension money.
Compared with Roland Emmerich, the commercial performance of the film directed by Michael Bay is very stable, and Eric also intends to keep the other party in the Firefly system as much as possible. Therefore, although "The Day After Tomorrow" has just been released, in Los Angeles, Jerry Bruckheimer has already started discussing new film plans with Michael Bay.
On June 12th, a new week, following "The Day After Tomorrow" is a costume movie called "The Mask of Zorro". Eric has never been interested in Western costume movies, but he knows that movie. Because the heroine of the original film was Catherine Zeta-Jones.
In memory, "The Mask of Zorro" seems to be a project produced by Spielberg's Amberlin Pictures, but now the producer of this film has become Universal Pictures.
Universal's flagship this year is "The Scorpion King", and the schedule is July 17. "The Mask of Zorro" was placed in mid-June. This schedule seems to be hotter than "The Scorpion King", but in fact, "The Mask of Zorro" was added to "The Day After Tomorrow" and "The Matrix". 2, it seemed very embarrassing.
However, due to changes in history, the production cost of this film is only 40 million U.S. dollars. Universal placed it between "The Day After Tomorrow" and "The Matrix", obviously hoping for luck. If the performance is not very satisfactory, "Zorro's Mask" can be 'missed'.
Obviously, just judging from the box office performance of "The Day After Tomorrow", this situation did not happen. Judging from the expectations of movie fans, the possibility of "The Matrix 2" failing is also very low.
The reason why Eric paid attention to this was mainly because he casually pushed Catherine Zeta-Jones to the heroine position of this film again.
