Chapter 566 You Guessed It Right
Nearly three minutes before the opening, Eric saw Emily personally accompanied Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue, into the show. Noticing that the two were walking towards him, Eric took the initiative to stand up. He was still very curious about this famous fashion devil.
Anna Wintour has her head up as in all the images, but without her signature Prada shades.
"Eric, this is Ms. Anna Wintour, Anna, this is Eric." Although everyone knew each other, Emily explained to each other very formally.
"Hello, Mr. Williams, nice to meet you." Anna Wintour warmly reached out to Eric.
Anna Wintour's voice was hoarse and tired, but she spoke as fast as many elites. Eric shook hands with the other party and said, "Me too, Ms. Wintour, just call me Eric."
The two sides chatted for a while, Anna Wintour walked to her seat, Eric was about to sit in the seat just now, but was gently pulled by Emily. Eric had to let Cage and Bridget Fonda move to the left and sit back next to Anna Wintour.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Emily's female assistant came out from the backstage holding a brown bear and came to Eric: "Mr. Williams, time is too tight, I only found this, you Can you see it?"
Eric discovered that what the female assistant was holding was actually a teddy bear. Thinking of a certain R-rated comedy that ruined childhood, he subconsciously showed a somewhat evil smile, took the teddy bear from the female assistant, and said: "Okay, thank you."
The female assistant smiled shyly, nodded to Emily next to her, and walked towards the backstage again.
Many Hollywood stars who were invited to the show were already looking at Eric from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many media reporters on the field, it is estimated that these people would have put down their restraint and come over. Seeing that a staff member inexplicably brought a teddy bear to Eric, most of them seemed to have found a legitimate reason and blatantly looked over.
Eric gave Anna Wintour, who was about to talk to him, a look of waiting, got up and walked to Ivanka, who was a few steps away, and handed the teddy bear to the girl: "Come. Ini, this is Your mascot tonight."
Ivanka took it subconsciously and saw that everyone around was watching her. The girl was too embarrassed to throw the teddy bear away, so she could only hold it obediently in front of her while looking at her father, Donald beside her for help. Trump also looked like he was smiling. He was originally a pushy person, after the release of "Jurassic Park". Ivanka once again appeared in the movie holding the puppet, letting the whole world know the cute image of the girl. Of course, he, the father, also felt very face.
Seeing Eric stuffing the teddy bear into Ivanka's arms,
Many people present understood in an instant, and many people laughed softly, and the media reporters standing on the periphery also raised their cameras one after another, and the spotlight suddenly flickered in the field.
Seeing that Eric was still cheeky and leaned to his side, he asked a nearby reporter to help take a group photo. Ivanka maintained a lovely image very ladylike, but after taking the photo, she whispered in Eric's ear: "You bad guy. I will never act in your movies again."
"That's not good. I paid for it. Are you planning to break the contract, Miss Trump?"
"What about this time?" Ivanka raised the teddy bear in her hand. For some reason, he always felt that Eric looked at the little bear with an evil meaning in his eyes.
"How about a thousand dollars?"
"You're richer than my dad, but you're only willing to pay a thousand dollars. It's so stingy." When Ivanka heard this topic, she subconsciously began to bargain, which made Eric almost laugh out loud. It seemed that Luo Although Rita has become a girl, she still retains the little money fanatic that Eric unintentionally buried in her bones.
Eric said calmly: "Or. Would you like to make a price?"
Ivanka thought for a while, then summoned up her courage and said: "Ten thousand dollars!" After the girl finished speaking, she seemed to feel that she was a little 'a lion's mouth', her face was red, and she quickly said: "I want to save myself for the future. Tuition, then I won't have to spend my dad's money."
"Okay, $10,000 is $10,000," Eric said, feigning pain.
Ivanka completely ignored Eric's expression, and when she heard him agree, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she stretched out her small hand: "Bring it here."
Eric spread his hands: "I don't have it now. I'll have someone give it to you when the fashion show is over."
The girl solemnly asked, "Then don't forget it."
Eric returned to his seat, and Anna Wintour, who had been watching his every move, immediately said, "Eric, you are such an interesting person."
"Thank you, Anna."
Eric nodded with a smile, he felt that Anna Wintour's attitude was a little too enthusiastic, and after a few chats, Eric realized that Anna Wintour wanted to invite him for an exclusive interview with "Vogue" magazine. This woman's eloquence is very good. If Emily hadn't interrupted a few words on the other side and skipped the matter lightly, Eric almost couldn't resist and agreed.
The plan was unsuccessful, and Anna Wintour didn't show any inappropriate looks. Half an hour later, the fashion show officially began.
Amid some eerie and melodious music, the models began to take to the runway.
Eric didn't feel anything about the clothes of the models on stage, but when he heard the accompaniment music, he was refreshed.
The lead singer of the song is a woman, her voice is faintly hoarse, and she sings in a low voice like the voice of a ghost girl in a lonely night.
"Eric, this is a song by the Cranberries from Ireland, called "pretty", and the lead singer is Dorothy Oleodan. This band's songs are very flavorful, if you are interested, you can buy Listen to the record." Anna Wintour, who was beside her, noticed Eric's expression and took the initiative to explain.
Eric nodded lightly to express his gratitude, and at the same time secretly squeezed the name of the song and the information about the Cranberries into his heart.
Except for a "pretty", the next catwalk has nothing to see for Eric.
More than ten minutes later, the fashion show was over, and most of the people left to run to the next one. Under the arrangement of Emily, Eric came to a nearby studio and took several sets of photos for the cover of "Vogue" magazine.
After finishing these things, it was already half past eight. Eric just appeared in the banquet hall of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, and some people who had been waiting for a long time took the initiative to come over.
In addition to Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda, Emily also invited seven or eight Hollywood stars. Of course, these people don't expect anything from Eric immediately. The main purpose is to get familiar with each other. As long as Eric has an impression, what movie roles for Firefly will suit them in the future, and the success rate of getting the role will definitely be greatly increased. .
After socializing, Eric, Cage and Fonda walked to a sofa and sat down, chatting about the movie before the fashion show opened.
"Probably the story of an introverted police officer in Manhattan and a waitress in a restaurant. Because of an accident, the police officer forgot to bring money. He happened to have a lottery ticket in his hand, so he went with the waitress. It was agreed that if the lottery won the lottery, the two would share all the winnings equally. Later, the lottery ticket in the policeman’s hands really won. After a lot of struggles, he finally made up his mind and gave the one million dollar prize to that person. The waitress, and at the same time, the two of them came together smoothly..."
Cage's eloquence is not very good. If it was a completely unfamiliar story, Eric probably shook his head by now. However, he remembers the movie, and the amazing thing is that the hero and heroine of the movie in the original time and space are just two people, Cage and Fonda. The name of the movie is "Love in a Fallen City", in Eric's opinion. This film doesn't have many bright spots, but it's not a bad film either. It can only be said that it is quite satisfactory. What the two of them will do next will not bring much benefit to their careers. But it will not damage the cp effect of the two.
Eric truthfully told the two of his views.
"That said, we're still not picking up," Bridget Fonda said after hearing Eric's comments.
Cage seems to have this awareness too.
Eric smiled and said, "If you don't plan to take over this film, then it's best not to let Michael Eisner know about our side, otherwise, he will definitely hate me."
"Of course I won't talk about it casually," Cage laughed, he was also very aware of some of the entanglements between Michael Eisner and Eric: "Since I'm not taking this film, Eric, Do you have a role for me?"
Eric shook his head honestly: "Firefly has been focusing on large-scale special effects films in the past two years, because the 'protagonists' of these films are computer special effects. In order to save part of the cost, some second-tier actors with excellent acting skills are used most of the time."
Cage shook his head regretfully, thought for a while, and then said, "Eric, I think the last time you worked with Sony Pictures, Mr.
"John Wu," Bridget Fonda said beside him.
Cage nodded: "Yes, it's John Wu. I like his film style very much. The action design is really cool. Eric, do you think there is a possibility of cooperation between me and him?"
Eric's expression is a little weird, thinking to himself, is this the inertia of history?
"John is shooting another film recently, but he signed a total of three film contracts with us at the beginning, and there is another one next year. If you are interested, I just have a suitable script for you."
Because the script of "Changing Face" didn't have any clues, Eric did not tell Cage the specific plot, and the two sides made a preliminary agreement. Seeing that Cage got the script, Brigitte Fonda certainly didn't want to be outdone, but Eric couldn't think of a suitable script for the actress who was always on the second line in the original time and space, and could only tactfully express the future There is a suitable movie to say.
Neither Nicolas Cage nor Bridget Fonda are idle people. After chatting with Eric, the two hurriedly left the reception.
Emily socialized for a long time at the reception, and at this time she came to Eric with a glass of champagne.
"Emily, where is Eva?" Eric looked around and asked.
"They are taking pictures. They will be used in the magazine tomorrow. It is estimated that it will be very late," Emily explained, and then gave Eric a roll of eyes: "She is Joan's sister, don't beat these bad guys. thought."
"..."
Eric can only roll his eyes speechlessly and change the subject: "Didn't you and Anna Wintour have a good talk before, why would she want to invite me to participate in the interview of "Vogue", "Vogue" Is it a fashion magazine?"
"If Anna Wintour didn't even know how to fight for an opportunity like this, do you think she would be Editor-in-Chief of Vogue before she was thirty? And, after Anna Wintour became Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, She's been imitating what Tina Brown did when she ran Vanity Fair."
Hearing Emily say the name of "Vanity Fair", Eric also understood. "Vanity Fair" mainly focuses on the private life topics of high-class stars and rich people. Since "Fashion" is imitating "Vanity Fair", he invites himself to also Not too strange.
Watching Emily take a sip of champagne to moisten her throat, Eric smiled and said, "I have done everything I should have done tonight, what do you think of the effect?"
"Of course, it's great, Eric, thank you," Emily was immediately excited: "With the news material accumulated tonight, in the next period of time, the brand of Brighton Fashion Company will spread all over the world immediately. America, do you remember the buying director of Marks & Spencer before the show started?"
Eric nodded, remembering the image of a certain bearded middle-aged man.
"I had been talking with him for a long time, and the other party never wanted to let go, but after seeing you at the scene, as well as Nicolas Cage and others, he just promised me a $5 million order, although many buyers I'm still thinking about it, but the order made tonight has more than doubled last year. Eric, I plan to invest in 20 more specialty stores in major cities, do you think it will work?"
"I don't know much about this, you can arrange it yourself."
Emily blinked. "I mean, with an investment of $500,000 per store, it's about $10 million."
$10 million isn't much, but there's no way Brighton Fashion couldn't even come up with $10 million.
Noticing Eric's doubts, Emily took the initiative to say: "You guessed it right, the company is out of money, and just for this show, I spent more than 5 million dollars before and after." (To be continued. ...)
