Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty Seventh Don't Make Trouble

With Eric's detailed understanding of the world economic trend in the next two decades, it is only an easy thing to make Giselle gain huge wealth. ? ?? Hunting? ??? ???????????

But if you simply have a huge amount of money, you will only be called a tycoon. Therefore, while having wealth, the most important thing is to gain the power and influence that matches your personal wealth.

The reason why Giselle in the original time and space is getting the title of "Giselle" is not just because her personal annual income is far higher than other models, the key is that Giselle is the top, best and most respected by the fashion industry among the new generation models. that one.

In addition to her shrewd business acumen, the annual income of Gisele's distant contemporaries is also the result of the realization of her personal influence.

Eric doesn't mean to completely change the trajectory of Giselle's life, he just wants to make Giselle go higher and farther on the original road, gain the influence of a distant past life, and become a real 'Giselle in the fashion industry' The Queen of Er', not just the Ji Niang Niang to the fans.

Of course, looking at the young girl who was not yet sixteen years old, Eric knew that it would take many years to develop this game.

However, Eric himself is only 26 years old this year, and time is not a problem for him and Giselle.

At this time, Eric has reached the peak of his career, which is difficult for ordinary people to reach. Occasionally cultivating a few legends that ordinary people talk about is a kind of pastime.

After all, what that sentence says: Don't do boring things, it's difficult to have a lifetime, and life is really lonely as snow.

It was impossible for Giselle and Alexander to notice the boring thoughts in Eric's heart. Hearing that he was going to talk about his own affairs, Giselle cheered up and sat upright. Even Alexander was infected by this atmosphere and couldn't help but sit up straight. Body.

Eric also retracted his thoughts and said to Giselle: "If you want to do more things, first, you have to wait until you are eighteen years old and have complete self-reliance, otherwise many things will be limited. However, in the past two years, It just happens to give you the time to further enrich yourself, and by the way, get the recognition of the fashion industry, um, at least get the title of supermodel first."

Giselle nodded obediently, but Alexander was speechless.

Supermodels, they enter this circle, isn't the goal of their life is to become a supermodel, but Giselle can get it all within two years.

In the fashion industry, if you want to be a model, first of all, you must have a good natural figure, and appearance is not even the most important thing. Gisele has already met the conditions.

The next step is to get a contract with a modeling agency.

The world's top brokerage companies have a very complete model promotion mechanism and rich fashion resources. A girl who enters these companies may not necessarily become a model, but if she can't enter these top brokerage companies, the hope of becoming a model is even slimmer.

Although Gisele's current Img model agency is not as prosperous as e1ite, it is also one of the top brokerage companies in the industry. In this regard, Img does not have any shortcomings that will hinder Giselle.

Having an innate appearance and body condition and a top model agency is just the beginning of a girl's journey to a supermodel.

Subsequent competition is really a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. After having the platform of the brokerage company, the girls have to participate in various model beauty contests, try their best to win the pages of fashion magazines, win the favor of fashion celebrities, and appear on the show of 6 well-known brands. During the whole process, for all kinds of opportunities, the pure flesh paid, or even the most insignificant price, and in the end, there is absolutely no one who can really reach the top.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything.

If you have a strong backend, everything is immediately easier.

Therefore, the world is so capricious and unfair, it is useless to bite anyone. Even Karl Lagerfeld, who wished the fat people all over the world were humanely destroyed, had to take a model with a mediocre appearance and a good figure to the Chanel show.

"After this weekend, you can go back to New York. You don't need to go to the acting training class." Eric glanced at the email just now, picked up the manuscript next to him and wrote down a series of phone numbers, handed it to Giselle, and said : "I just contacted Tina Brown, who happened to be in New York recently, and when you go back, Tina will take you to see Anna Wintour and arrange for you to be on the cover of Vogue."

In the entire Condé Nast system, Tina Brown's status was higher than that of Anna Wintour. Anna Wintour's operation of "Vogue" magazine imitated Tina Brown's concept of operating "Vanity Fair".

After Tina Brown left Vanity Fair to serve as editor-in-chief of Yahoo Portal, her connections and influence within Condé Nast still exist. After all, as long as Condé Nast's executives are not stupid, they will not be the same as being born in their own group and holding a large new media. The platform's strong women cut ties. At the "Vanity Fair" party dinner that just passed, the reason why Eric invited the "Forrest Gump" and other crews to attend the party was also the result of Tina Brown's special call to match at the request of his old club.

At this time, it is not too difficult for her to help get a cover of "Vogue" magazine.

These world's top fashion magazines may be able to maintain a cold attitude in front of ordinary people, but for Eric, it is no more than a small favor.

Although the relationship between Firefly and Condé Nast is not as close as that of Hearst Group, the cooperation between the two parties has never been cut off. After all, a big advertising player like Firefly Group has always been the target of any paper media group. Eric doesn't have Anna Wintour's contact information, otherwise, Anna Wintour will not be able to refuse Eric's request.

Eric said it was an understatement, but a wave of waves rose in the hearts of the two girls.

"Vogue", that is a world-class "fashion bible", ordinary models can be on the cover of "Vogue" magazine once in a lifetime, and it is not a waste of life.

Alexander looked at Giselle with jealousy, and even wanted to say to Eric: Take my flesh too.

Gisele clutched her chest even more excitedly, and asked a little unconfidently: "Eric, can I really be on the cover of "Vogue"? I'm still, um, I'm not yet sixteen years old."

Eric nodded and said, "Of course you can, I've never heard of the rule that you can't be in Vogue if you're under sixteen."

Eric's mind is also very clear. Since he is going to be on the cover of a magazine, of course he has to choose the best one.

As long as Giselle can be on the cover of "Vogue", she will immediately become famous in the fashion industry, and various fashion catwalk invitations and extensive media attention will follow, which is much more effective than taking it step by step.

Giselle's excited mood was not so easily calmed down, and she said anxiously: "But..."

"There's nothing wrong with it," Eric interrupted Giselle, saying, "This matter also asks your agency to help you. Besides, in the next few months, your related models will Don't pull down the training, although I can help you build a platform, but if you don't work hard enough, everything will be in vain."

"Well, I definitely will," Gisele nodded quickly.

Eric added: "In addition, learn some French, at least to the extent that daily communication is not hindered. I will arrange for you to participate in Paris Fashion Week in September this year."

Among the four major fashion weeks, Paris Fashion Week is the most stylish one. The new product launches of the world's top luxury brands such as Prada, Dior, Versace, Givenchy, etc., will basically be held in Paris Fashion Week, with the halo blessing of these top brands, The show of Paris Fashion Week is also the best stage for ordinary models and advanced models.

When Giselle nodded, Eric was about to say something when the phone on the table rang.

Eric picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was a string of unfamiliar numbers, and he connected: "This is Williams."

"..."

After saying a few words on the other side of the phone, Eric smiled and said, "Hi, Anna, good morning, has Tina told you about it?"

Gisele and Alexander, who were sitting opposite, looked at each other, and a name came to mind, Anna Wintour.

Eric glanced at Giselle, who had become cautious again, and continued to talk to Anna Wintour with a smile: "Her name is Giselle Bundchen, sixteen years old, um..." Eric said, With a gesture to Giselle, the girl immediately understood and stood up. Eric looked at her and said, "About five feet ten inches (178cm), so, it must be unclear on the phone. I'll ask Img to send you a detailed document later."

"..."

On the other side, I don't know what to say, Eric frowned slightly and said: "August, August is a bit late, I hope that before the fashion week in September, she can have two or three months to accumulate popularity. , so it's best before July... what, girl version, Anna, don't perfunctory me."

Giselle has been listening to the conversation between the two. Seeing that Eric's tone is a little more serious, she herself becomes uneasy and wants to talk about it: the girl version is also fine.

Of course, Giselle was just thinking about it, she didn't dare to interrupt the conversation between the two.

At Eric's insistence, Anna Wintour just hesitated a little and agreed to arrange for Giselle to appear on the cover of "Vogue" in June. As for what to do with the original cover girl, Eric didn't care. things are up.

This result is not surprising at all. After all, the cover of a magazine is only a trivial matter compared to Eric's influence. Anna Wintour will not hesitate to choose between decision.

You should know that among the five well-known women's fashion magazines, "Vogue" belongs to the Condé Nast Group, while the other four magazines, "eLLe", "BaZaaR", "net" and "marie-c1aire", although the influence is slightly less than that of "Vogue" ", but they all belong to the Hearst Group, and none of these magazines is not always ready to replace "Vogue" in the industry.

With the partnership between espn and ae television network, the close connection between Hearst Group and Firefly Group is self-evident. If something as small as the cover of a magazine pushes Eric and even the Firefly Group into the Hearst Media camp, it would be a major mistake by Anna Wintour. Of course, Anna Wintour also knows that even if she really refuses, the possibility of Eric being aggressive is extremely low, but she will never take risks on such trivial matters.

After negotiating this matter, the topic became relaxed immediately, and with the idea of ​​making a good relationship with Eric, Anna Wintour also seemed very warm in her words, and also promised to help contact top fashion photographer Steven May Plug personally directed Gisele's cover blockbuster.

Eric hung up the phone, and Giselle asked in a low voice, "Eric, were you talking about Steven Messer just now?"

Eric nodded, because he has been in contact with the fashion circle more in the past two years, and Eric has also learned about some top fashion photographers.

Steven Messer is the kind of fashion photographer who is very good at photographing women. The women under this photographer's lens can always give people a special sense of mystery and charm, like a group of black cats walking in the dark night.

Giselle got a definite answer, her face flashed with excitement, but it quickly dimmed, her little hands gestured randomly, and said indifferently: "Eric, that, it should be very expensive to invite Steven Messer to take pictures. Yes, the company probably won't give the money."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone send the bill to me," Eric said, and handed the phone to Giselle, "You don't have to contact Tina Brown when you get back to New York, call now. Call your agent and ask him to send a copy of your profile to Vogue headquarters."

Giselle nodded, took the phone, and got up a little embarrassed and walked to the side to make a call.

Alexander, who had been watching all this silently, finally said, "Eric, I..."

Eric packed up the newspapers on the table and said casually, "You are still young, wait another two years."

Alexander fiddled with the intertwined fingers in front of him, begging softly: "I can be on the girly version of Vogue."

"Don't make trouble. If you push both of you at once, Anna will be mad."

...

After the daily box office was 3.6 million US dollars, "Red Zone" won US$ 4.16 million and US$ 3.55 million respectively over the two weekends, and the cumulative box office over the three weekends was US$ 11.31 million.

While successfully reaching the top three-day box office championship over the weekend, "Red Zone" has once again attracted a lot of media attention. While the new line in my heart is vigorously promoting the follow-up promotion, it also begins to release Jack Cheng and the company in a timely manner. New movie news.

After the weekend, Gisele and Alexander returned to New York together, and Eric was also ready to fly to the Bahamas to personally inspect the filming locations of "Casino Royale".

However, before leaving, Eric had to personally ask about the "Seven Deadly Sins".

Now Paramount is trying to link its own "First Degree Fear" with the popular "Seven Deadly Sins" to hype the topic. Eric was not ready to intervene, and the new line's team responded quickly.

However, the direction of Paramount's media public relations is very clear, that is, to provoke the question of who has better acting skills, Kevin Spacey and Edward Norton, to attract fans' curiosity about "First Degree Fear" Heart.

Paramount also clearly knows that in terms of the overall quality of the film, "First Degree Fear" can't compare with the wonderful plot setting of "The Seven Deadly Sins" in any way.

However, the counterattack of the new line is precisely focused on the overall quality of the film, which is in Paramount's favor. Because of the previous trial screening, the reputation of "First Degree Fear" is not as good as that of "The Seven Deadly Sins", which is already a It's a well-recognized fact in the film critics world, and the New Line Media PR team has repeatedly emphasized this point, and it doesn't make things any worse.

In any case, as long as "First Degree Fear" and "Seven Deadly Sins" are linked, so that fans can compare the two films, Paramount's marketing is a great success.

Under normal circumstances, the two films jointly hype the topic, and there will definitely be a synergistic effect of one plus one greater than two, bringing about an increase in the total box office.

But this time the situation is different. The Easter schedule in North America has not been opened yet, and the weekly number of viewers and the total box office during the Easter schedule will not fluctuate too much.

Before that, after the vigorous promotion of the new line, the popularity of "Seven Deadly Sins" was already very high. Therefore, the joint hype of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "First Degree Fear" will produce a synergistic effect. Although the total box office of the two films will be higher than the original time and space, it is likely that only "First Degree Fear" will benefit in the end.

Affected by the more box office share of "First Degree Fear", the total box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" is likely to be lower than that of the previous life.

The North American box office of the original "Seven Deadly Sins" happened to exceed 100 million US dollars, which is obviously the result of the operation of the original new line.

Because the box office figure of $100 million is an important watershed for most movies. When the box office exceeds 100 million US dollars, the film can enter the ranks of classic movies. In this regard, even if a movie box office stops at 9.9 million, compared with 100 million US dollars, it gives people a completely different feeling.

It is conceivable that if it was affected by "First Degree Fear", the North American box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" failed to exceed 100 million US dollars, perhaps only a few million less. It’s completely different. You have a box office of 80 million or 90 million, but even if it does not exceed 100 million, fans will only think that this movie is good, and it is difficult to have the feeling of a genre classic.

The original "Seven Deadly Sins" made $220 million at the overseas box office, and the video line even made a lot of money for the new line. It is no exaggeration to say that the North American box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" reached 100 million US dollars, which played a very big role in promoting it.

Therefore, if the box office of this version of "Seven Deadly Sins" fails to exceed 100 million US dollars, the final loss will definitely not be just a simple number of hundreds of millions of US dollars at the North American box office.

Eric watched helplessly for a few days. Before leaving Los Angeles, he finally called Katzenberg. The two discussed in detail and determined the marketing strategy to counter "First Degree Fear". He was relieved. boarding a plane to the Bahamas. (To be continued.)
