Chapter 619 My Request?

According to the project plan formulated by Eric, the Victoria's Secret show must be broadcast before the winter break of the TV series in early December, so as to not only obtain the best viewing and advertising effects, but also lead a wave of sales in the New Year's consumption season. achieve a multi-pronged effect. ╞┢.?{.

The annual show also requires a month of post-production from recording to broadcasting. Because it is the first time to hold such a large-scale annual show, the preliminary preparation and rehearsal also require several months of full preparation, so although it is only in June In the second half of the year, the project started, so that Eric could also be more leisurely with other busy affairs.

Firefly Studios, which has not yet officially opened, has been set up as a project studio in accordance with Eric's request.

At this time, Eric was in a small conference room separated from the studio, introducing the entire Victoria's Secret show in detail to Emily Brighton and other ltd executives and his own royal production team who came from New York. s plan.

"...The entire Victoria's Secret show is actually a large-scale commercial. The audience we will face this time is neither the editor of a fashion magazine nor the buying director of a chain store, but the ordinary audience in front of all TV sets. . We can't expect ordinary people to be able to tell how good a model's tablecloth is, nor can we expect them to determine its market prospects just by looking at a set of inner design styles. What we have to do is to show them what they want to see What I got: exquisite and perfect, gorgeous stage, catchy music. My purpose is to make the Victoria's Secret show an Oscar in the fashion industry, and only the best models can appear on this stage , I want everyone to think of the model, and they can think of the Victoria's Secret show, not the title given at will by a few fashion magazines."

After Eric's brief introduction, the senior management of ltd and Eric's royal team raised their own questions one after another. Eric patiently answered them one by one. After more than an hour of discussion, everyone had a general understanding of what Eric needed. Effect.

Before you know it, there is a sound of Yingyingyanyan outside the conference room. A staff member knocked on the door and said, "Mr Williams, Miss Brighton, the models have arrived."

"Then, come here first today. I will take time to discuss the details with you," Eric clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Of course, if you want to see beautiful women, you can stay. The most beautiful beauties in the world."

Everyone laughed and got up. Eric's royal production team now has their own work to do. Of course, it is impossible to stay. Even a few high-level executives of ltd flew over from the headquarters. After this meeting, And immediately return to New York and other places. ┡┢╪.<.

In addition to Eric and Emily, the ones who stayed the most were Edward Lazek, the creative director of Victoria's Secret named by Eric. Edward Lazek has been in charge of the Victoria's Secret show since 1992. , but in Eric's view,

The real maturity of the Victoria's Secret show should be o7, o8 years later. Most of them were in the groping stage before, and the Victoria's Secret show before the year was basically the same as the ordinary fashion show. This time, Eric intends to directly adopt the program mode after the Victoria's Secret show year, but he can't be in charge of this project all the time, and he will bring Edward Razekla, the producer of the original time and space, to participate in the operation of the whole project, and he will also be involved in the future. You can give the Victoria's Secret Show to the other party.

After everyone who attended the meeting gradually left, Emily asked the remaining creative team members to temporarily go out to prepare, leaving only Eric and Edward Razek, and then took out a prepared document and handed it over. To Eric, he said: "This is a list of people that Edward and I have chosen privately. Among them are a few internal models that we have signed, and the rest are from other modeling agencies, this time only with two major agencies. The company has brought in many people, as well as from other brokerage companies. There are a total of candidates. ltd cooperates very closely with these brokerage companies, and we can't afford to offend them at all, so on the surface, the promise is to let you personally select, etc. You can focus on these people when you audition, and if you think the other models are good, you can adjust at any time."

Eric originally only asked Emily to prepare a team of about forty people. He was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of so many people, but after learning the reason, Eric just nodded casually. The fashion industry and the modeling industry have always been closely linked, and mid-range fashion brands like ltd really do not want to provoke (Elite Modeling Agency) and (Ford Modeling Economy) these industry giants, so as not to be criticized in the future advertising process. But these things are not a problem on Eric's side.

When Eric opened the list, Emily said again: "There is also the matter of spokespersons. For the five spokespersons you proposed, we have signed Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington. , Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell also expressed their interest in the spokesperson of Victoria's Secret, but they don't want to waste too much time on this big show, especially Cindy Crawford, I I heard that she has signed a big contract with Warner Bros, so there is not much time left for the catwalk."

An issue of "Fashion" magazine in 2009 published photos of the five most influential fashion models, and for the first time publicly launched the title of "Supermodel". The name Emily just mentioned is one of the five people. Of the four, the last German model, Garna Patiz, has been in retirement. ╪w(ww.. Originally Claudia Schiffer would fill the vacancy left by Tagana Patitz, but because of Eric's appearance, Claudia has given up her modeling career and moved to Hollywood smoothly.

Although these models make fashion circles rush, but Eric is not too important. The Victoria's Secret show has the nickname of "The Terminator of the Model Era", because many fashion people in later generations have criticized the Victoria's Secret show for greatly reducing the gold content of supermodels and becoming a sensational mass entertainment. But at the same time, no one dares to deny that it is difficult for a model who has not been on the Victoria's Secret show to get the title of a model, and in the previous model annual salary list, the top ten are basically from Victoria. The model who came out of the secret show.

Hearing Emily say this, Eric said: "Since the two of them don't want to participate in the catwalk, then forget it, we can just train three other spokespersons ourselves."

Edward Razek said: "Eric, Naomi Campbell maybe we don't care. But I think it's better to talk to Miss Cindy Crawford, she is the most popular of the big models. ."

Eric closed the roster, smiled and said to Edward Razek: "Edward, you have to remember. From now on, Victoria's Secret says that which model is the most popular, which model will have real popularity, since they If you pass up this opportunity, you'll never want to be on this stage again."

Eric finished. Pick up the roster and head out. Emily deliberately stopped, and when Eric walked out of the room, she said to Edward Razek embarrassedly: "Edward, don't mind, this guy is always so self-righteous sometimes, but most of the time, the result is All proved him right."

Of course Edward Razek couldn't mind, and he didn't think he had the right to mind something with a big man like Eric. Hearing Emily's comfort, Edward couldn't help but say, "Emily. You a few days ago. Is what you told me true?"

"What?" Emily was stunned for a moment, but she thought about it again and nodded: "Of course it's true, although Eric can act as a director himself this year, it is absolutely impossible to do so all the time. He seems to hate it. Doing certain things over and over again, even Jurassic Park 2 he doesn't want to direct himself. So next year's big show is probably going to be in your hands, so you'd better get your nerves up and take any details of that guy. record."

After getting a definite answer, Edward Razek's anxious mind was finally settled. Said: "Emily, without Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford, do you think we'd be able to get Miss Claudia Schiffer back on stage? She was a top model, and she's very popular now. Much taller than all the models?"

"That's a good idea. But it's unlikely, Claudia Schiffer is now focusing most of her energy on Hollywood, and the salary has risen to ten thousand dollars, she is unlikely to waste a few months of time on the schedule. There's a fashion show going on."

Edward Razek showed a warm smile and lowered his voice: "If it's us to talk, of course there's no possibility. But what if Eric came out to say hello?"

Emily was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up and said, "This is a good idea, I will try it later."

Talking about this, Edward Razek and Emily walked out of the conference room together. After hesitating for a while, Edward still found an interface to go to the bathroom, went to the place where no one was and made a phone call and quickly said something.

...

Different from the actor audition room, the model audition room is more like a professional photography room. In order to show the models' stage effects more intuitively, there are no shortage of background cloth, fill light and soft box in the large room. Eric He felt as if he had returned to the days when he entered an advertising agency to shoot print advertisements in his previous life, but this time he no longer needed to do it himself. With just one sentence, someone would pick up the best top models in the world and choose them at will.

In the thick roster, in addition to the confirmed two supermodels, there are also some familiar names from previous lives, such as Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Kate Moss and so on. Compared with the first few years, Eric has developed immunity to beauties at this time. After all, things that are too easy to get will inevitably make people gradually lose interest in chasing. Perhaps this is also the proportion of homosexuality in Hollywood and fashion circles. high reason.

Hearing Emily's idea of ​​making Claudia back on the runway, Eric nodded and said, "This is also a good idea, I will contact Claudia to see if she has a schedule. , if not, it can only be forgotten.”

Emily said: "You speak in person, can she still have no schedule?"

Eric shrugged and said, "I'm trying to be a kind and empathetic person, not a tyrant."

"Oh, then your Qing people are really happy," Emily teased, and then said, "You haven't been to New York to visit Kevin and Xia Xia for a few months?"

Eric countered: "A woman in her thirties who refuses to marry or have children has no right to accuse me."

There were staff all around, and the bickering between the two just started to stop the topic by coincidence.

Since most of the shortlists have been pre-determined, the so-called interview is actually only a form Eye blessing.

Between another group of models leaving, Emily finally couldn't help complaining: "What kind of place do they think this is, and you don't have to wait so impatiently to catch Kaizi, right?"

Eric opened a page of information and said, "Can you not look at me when you use the word 'Kaizi'?"

Emily slanted Eric and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Eric, these chicks in the circle don't have a fuel-efficient lamp. If you mess with them, they will definitely not hype up their fame. Mind exposing your bed performance and size in gossip magazines."

"Well, you've managed to scare me soft," Eric also made a small joke.

Emily spat, then told the staff to call in the next set of models.

Three tall figures dressed in the new Victoria's Secret Neiyi filed in. Eric noticed the golden beauty standing in the middle at a glance.

Edward Razek followed the routine to let the three models introduce himself, walked around the tablecloth, and then began to ask some questions.

Eric took a document and approached Emily and asked in a low voice, "This, why isn't Diane Kruger on the list, she was the champion of the German section of the 1992 Model Contest. Conditions should be great?"

Emily glanced at the photo, then looked up at Diane Kruger's tablecloth for a moment, then lowered her head again and said, "She was indeed on the primary selection list, but we eliminated her according to your original request. down?"

Eric was confused for a while: "My request?" (To be continued.)
