Chapter 109: After-Show Party
A short 30-minute fashion show, although it seems long, but in fact, all the audience in it unconsciously spent an extremely happy time, and after the final models circled the stage, the chief designer of the show, Todd Thomas, happily stepped onto the runway.
A large number of people in the audience couldn't help but give a standing ovation, and Sid, although he was seated in the front row with the female demon Anna Wintour, still applauded with an encouraging smile, and the camera caught the scene in due course.
"Hehe, it doesn't seem bad. After the curtain light was slowly pressed, Sid smiled slightly.
"Oh, don't you think that's good enough?" asked Lauren Weisberg behind him.
Anna Wintour, who was beside her, looked at Sid with interest, "Then what do you think today's show has reached?"
"Hmm. Sid touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then replied, "If it's ten out of ten, five out of ten." β
"It's only five?!" said Lauren Weisberg in surprise.
"ELL, while it seems to be working well today, there are actually a lot of things that can be improved, and there are a lot of new and interesting things to experiment. Sid smiled faintly, and there seemed to be a lot of wisdom hidden behind his smile.
"Hope you're not talking big, Sid. Anna Wintour smiled and said, "You've whetted my appetite." β
"You won't be disappointed. Sid also said confidently.
After the Victoria's Secret fashion show, it was the usual celebration party, and this time the party scene was chosen in the famous hotel banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
On the purple Persian carpet and pale wood-coloured wooden floors, the delicate and luxurious chandeliers radiate a dazzling light, whether it is a delicate standing table or a waiter shuttling back and forth.
Sid congratulated Todd Thomas on his success and spoke to the director of the Lion TV station who came to report to him, who was in charge of filming the entire Victoria's Secret show.
The other party was transferred from the reality show team within Fire Lion TV, in fact, a fashion entertainment show like the Victoria's Secret show, the shooting and editing effects in front of and behind the scenes are as central as the level of the show itself.
Good planning in advance and good editing after the event can make a brilliant catwalk exciting.
"Boss, in addition to the multi-camera shooting of the catwalk in front of the stage, we also planned interviews and hand-cranked shots of models in the background, which can not only show the excitement of the catwalk and the brand image of Victoria's Secret, but also create a sense of tension and realism in the background......"
Looking at the director of the big show who was gushing to himself, Sid first smiled and nodded, and after he finished speaking, Sid raised his hand to interrupt him, and then smiled slightly: "What you think is good, but ......"
When the director of the big show heard Sid's "but", he immediately looked at him nervously, Sid patted him on the shoulder and said, "I don't need to tell me these technical details one by one, and it's a celebration party now, so don't be so nervous." β
Hearing Sid's words, Director Daxiu couldn't help but laugh, "Enjoy the party tonight." Sid raised the orange juice in his hand and left.
Although Sid attaches great importance to the Victoria's Secret show and the Victoria's Secret behind it, he is not interested in asking everything personally. After all, with the growth of the Fire Lion Group, more and more businesses are involved, whether it is the core Hollywood, or the periphery such as Victoria's Secret, Apple, Google, etc.
He will not interfere too much in the issue of specific projects, not only because he does not have the energy, but also because it is not conducive to the development of the fire lion. In recent Hollywood history, the most hands-on bosses are undoubtedly Michael Eisner, the current godfather of Disney, and Summer, the owner of Viacom.
But this greed for power and control has brought them little benefit, nor has it benefited their companies.
Michael Eisner's affairs must be personal, and the whole of Hollywood knows that he is such a godfather as he even has to make decisions about the costumes of child stars on Disney Children's Channel TV shows. Such arbitrariness eventually brought about Michael Eisner being overthrown by a "coup d'Γ©tat" and leaving Hollywood completely.
The latter, Lei Shidong, watched his media empire collapse step by step in the midst of the rebellion and separation.
So, you can't be too Eisner.
Sid thought so, and a person next to him suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, "Hey, you're Sid Leon!"
Sid turned his head to see a young man with a somewhat pale face looking at him excitedly.
"Are you ......" Sid didn't expect that he didn't look for it, and today's "protagonist" came to the door by himself.
"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm James Murdoch, you can call me James. Although the other party's tone and demeanor seemed to be close, they couldn't help but reveal a taste of arrogance.
Sid smiled and curled the corners of his mouth, "If only you could call me Sid, James." β
Just by looking at the other party's surname, you can actually recognize the identity of the other party very directly. "Murdoch", who else can there be besides the Murdoch family, the owner of the news corp. of the Hollywood media giant?
"I didn't expect that your Victoria's Secret show was so exciting, it was really wonderful. James Murdoch praised today's Victoria's Secret show, and of course, he paid the most attention to the Victoria's Secret models with my fair beauties.
"I'm glad you like it. Sid smiled.
"Thank you for the invitation. James smiled and grabbed Sid's shoulder and said, "The familiar appearance really doesn't treat him as an outsider."
"And what about them?" Sid asked with a smile.
"Oh, it's all over here, follow me. Saying that James opened the way in front, the first heir of News Corp. and the owner of the Fire Lion Group, Sid and James along the way, there were dozens of socialites and supermodels from all walks of life who wanted to come up and talk, but they were all rejected by James Murdoch.
Sid looked at the foolish kid rather in surprise, and by the time they reached the corner of a circular couch in the party hall, it was already occupied by a crowd of laughing men and women.
"Hey, big guy. James greeted with a grin, and the crowd who turned their heads immediately recognized the Hollywood premier golden bachelor, and when they saw Sid behind him, they immediately fried the pot.
"Wow, you really got Sid Leon!" said one of the blonde young men about the same age as James Murdoch, his eyes widened in disbelief.
