Chapter 892 The Spice Girls
Princess Diana's charity reception started at eight o'clock in the evening. It took an hour to process the work emails in the mailbox. Eric and Christina ate something together, changed their dresses, and rushed to the adjacent garden five minutes ahead of time. Kensington Palace on Main Street.
As night fell, it was the beginning of the lanterns, and the black car left Garden Street in a small circle, but it took less than a kilometer to reach its destination.
Girls always yearn for fairy tales such as princes and princesses. Although Christina has a precocious personality, she is no exception, so she is quite excited to meet Princess Diana herself, and for this reason, she also carefully prepared a small white Chanel dress.
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, wait, what should I call the princess, is it Your Highness?"
Diana's title of Her Royal Highness was taken away when she divorced Prince Charles, and this girl obviously did not pay attention to this.
Seeing Christina's serious appearance, Eric wanted to deliberately mislead her. Thinking that this kind of situation was not appropriate, he reminded: "You can just call her lady."
Christina nodded and said, "Oh, but I think His Highness is more polite."
Eric smiled and said, "It's rude of you to say that, and it might even make her feel offended."
Christina didn't know why, so she quickly stuck out her little tongue and hummed again.
The two were talking, and Diana had already greeted him with another middle-aged man in a light gray suit.
"Good evening, Eric, it's a pleasure 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, "I'm also very happy to meet you, ma'am."
"Diana, just call me Diana," Princess Diana emphasized, looking at Christina again, "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 Fayed."
Eric has just started to look at the middle-aged man in front of him. He looks about forty years old. Although his appearance is not very obvious, some typical features between his eyebrows are also easy to distinguish. Since most of the British media recently They are all hyping Diana's new relationship, and Eric also learned some information about each other from the newspaper. Interestingly, Doddie Fayed's professed career was a filmmaker, and he was also named executive producer on Spielberg's Captain a few years ago.
After listening to Diana's introduction, Eric extended his hand to the other party and greeted him with a smile.
However, I don't know if it was an illusion or not, Eric felt that Dodie Fayed looked at him with some vigilance in his eyes, and his attitude was not enthusiastic. After a brief doubt, Eric couldn't help laughing in his heart. It seemed that Dodie Fayed regarded himself as those billionaires who approached Diana with some purpose. Moreover, Eric seems to have an incomparable advantage in terms of wealth, power, even his appearance and age.
It is also inevitable that the other party will have a sense of crisis.
Diana obviously did not feel Dody Fayed's hostility towards Eric. After the two greeted each other, they walked into the banquet hall together, but led Eric directly to a small donation box. Then the blue eyes looked at him brightly.
Eric smiled, feeling that this straightforward princess was a bit cute, and he didn't mind. He took out the checkbook and signed a check for $100,000 and put it into 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 Dody Fayed, who had just been staring at him to sign the checkbook and then looked disapproving. The invitation letter for the reception stipulated that the guests should donate at least 5,000 pounds, and Eric had no intention of smiling. With his knowledge of this kind of party, 100,000 US dollars was probably the biggest donation for this reception. There are so many charitable activities in Western society. Unless there is a special purpose, no rich person will give out a donation of more than one million. Although Eric can afford it, he will not go out of the limelight.
"Then, please come with me, Eric, I'll introduce some guests to you, they are looking forward to seeing you," Diana said, making a gesture of invitation, walking side by side with Eric , paused and said, "Speaking of which, Eric, I'm your fan."
Eric heard that Diana liked pop music, which seems to be a bit disgusting for Prince Charles, who advocates high-class entertainment. Hearing this, he asked with a smile, "Which song do you like the most?"
Diana looked over and said with a smile: "Guess what?"
"Um, r?"
Diana shook her head and said, "No, guess again."
"n?"
"It's also a great song, but it's not," Diana continued to deny, and then chuckled: "Okay, I'll tell you directly, it's tempting, I like the expression of this song very much. That gorgeous and disillusioned feeling is sad, but intoxicating."
Eric looked at the peerless beauty who was still in full bloom beside him, stunned, shook his head gently, 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 didn't continue to ask, hesitated, and said, "Speaking of which, 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 complimentably. If someone else made such a request to him, it would be cool to stay there. 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 his face, Eric said, "However, I have never received vocal training, and live performances are very good. Oops, let Chris come, just sing your favorite song, um, lure nnb."
Diana didn't have much expectations when she just made the request, but when she heard Eric ask Christina to sing, she looked at the girl who was holding Eric's arm and looked like a bird, with surprise and doubt in her eyes, Christina's small appearance makes it hard to believe that she can sing such a song full of vicissitudes of life.
Eric saw Diana's thoughts 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 this, turned her head and told the entourage who followed behind to prepare, and then introduced some important guests to the reception to Eric.
The time soon came to eight o'clock in the evening. There were already about 200 guests in the banquet hall. After Diana introduced a few guests to Eric, she walked to the small stage of the banquet hall and made a brief speech. After the speech, the reception officially began.
While raising funds for this type of reception, it is actually providing guests with a social occasion where they can expand their contacts. Eric skillfully handled the guests who approached them. Accidentally discovers a target that intrigues him, Simon Fuller, the owner of a music entertainment company.
In the original time and space, many people may not have heard the name Simon Fuller, but almost no one does not know the smashing hot girl group and the enduring American Idol, both of which were created by Simon Fuller. of.
However, after talking with Simon Fuller for a few words, Eric recalled the information in his mind, and suddenly realized one thing, what about the Spice Girls?
It is now 1997. According to the history, this is the moment when the Spice Girls are soaring, but at the moment, 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 came up with the idea of producing a music reality show, and it got out of hand. Except for the most famous American idol, Simon At its peak, Fuller's pop idol draft model appeared in different versions in more than 70 countries. To be continued.
