Halfway through lunch, Simon Fuller, president of Viking Records, arrived. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past six months, Simon Fuller has been in charge of the operation of Viking Records, and a large part of his energy has been focused on the operation of the "Pop Idol" reality show.

After the success of the Spice Girls, Viking Records and Sky TV jointly organized this public idol audition attracted more than 200,000 applicants in the UK alone.

This also led to Pop Idol attracting a lot of attention from the beginning. After several months of auditions, "Pop Idol" gained more than 5.24 million viewers in September, and as the tournament progressed, the average viewership of the latest episode has reached 7.91 million. Such viewership figures may not be a big deal in North America, but in the United Kingdom, where the population is only one-fifth of that of North America, it is absolutely phenomenal.

Therefore, although the first season is still a few months away, TV stations in many countries and regions have begun to contact the producers of "Pop Idol", hoping to get the production authorization of this show. In North America, Eric has also decided to hand over the production rights to ABC.

Although Elizabeth has been careful, seeing the popularity of "Pop Idol", she also knows that it is impossible to bring this show to FOX again, after all, Eric must also take into account the thoughts of ABC executives. However, the girl unceremoniously took the Australian production license.

After lunch with everyone, Eric and Simon Fuller visited the recording site of "Pop Idol" and then learned about the operation of Viking records.

In order to overcome the jet lag, Eric returned to his villa on Kensington Garden Street early in the evening to rest.

Early the next morning, we flew to Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

As a tax haven center in Europe, Firefly Electronics' European branch is also headquartered in Ireland.

A morning of working with the top management of Firefly Electronics Europe walked through a newly opened Fireflyer component factory near Dublin. Returning to England in the afternoon, Eric rushed to Pinewood Studios and met with Tim Burton and others, who were working on "Guillotine Valley" here.

After two days of non-stop work, I finally completed most of the schedule of this trip to the UK.

It wasn't until nightfall that Eric drove back to the city of London.

In the black Mercedes car, Mayer sat next to Eric, quietly recording today's work log in a memo.

I don't know what I saw, the car jolted, and Eric, who had been recuperating with his eyes closed all the way, sat up straight, looked at the lights on the street outside the car window, and asked the girl next to him, "Where are you?" ”

Mayer raised his head, looked at Eric with a slightly tired look on his face, and said, "It's going to Kensington Street soon, Eric, do you want to have dinner before you go over?" ”

Eric raised his wrist and looked at the table below, the time was already a quarter past seven, less than an hour before the official start of the Victoria's Secret show. Although he was also a little hungry and hesitated, Eric still said, "Let's go directly to the Earl's Palace." ”

Mayer nodded, glanced at the memo on his lap, and said, "Also, Eric, I have already sorted out the scripts and novels that you asked the British branch to collect yesterday afternoon and put them in the study." ”

Eric was stunned for a moment before he remembered.

Last time at the celebration of "Midnight Bell", Eric accidentally remembered the "Two Smoking Guns" that should have been released but there was no shadow yet, and felt that it would be a pity if such an interesting movie disappeared, so the next day he casually instructed Caroline and Mayer to collect some of the latest novels and screenplays before he came to England this time.

Over the years, Eric has often made people do this on the lookout for him, and many of the projects in the Firefly system have been selected by Eric, and most of them have achieved good results. Therefore, although Eric only said it casually at the time, and almost didn't remember it just now, Caroline and Mayer wrote it down as something very important.

Leaning back comfortably in his chair, Eric said, "Well, let's watch it when you have time, and don't look at it if you don't have time." ”

At most, Queen Mai has one less ex-husband, and she is not a savior, so she can care so much.

Mayer smiled and looked down at the memo, there were still a few things to report to Eric, but seeing the absent-minded appearance of the man next to her, she casually closed the notebook.

The night in London is getting colder, but the Earl's Palace is in full swing.

Eric still entered the backstage of the show directly through the inner passage, greeted the girls in pink pajamas or had changed into heavenly clothes and were nervously waiting to play, and found the rows and rows of dressers. Every Victoria's Secret show, there will be a routine preparation of various energy-replenishing snacks for girls who have been on a diet for many days, which is still the rule set by Eric himself.

After a long day of traveling, Eric felt that he was the one who only needed to replenish his energy.

Noticing that Eric was sitting down on an empty seat at the edge of a row of dressers, Qusi Gauff, who had asked the stylist to do her hair, immediately made a pause gesture and came over with the corner of her pink nightgown skirt, and the other girls who remained in the makeup area saw that Qusi Gauff had seized the opportunity, so they had to sit back in their seats regretfully and greet Eric near or far.

In response to the girls' greetings, Eric took a box of nuts in front of him, turned his head to look at the baby-faced girl beside him, nodded and smiled, "Qusi, you're so beautiful tonight." ”

"Thank you," Quess Gauff said with a sweet smile as she dismissed the stylist behind her, "Eric, will you be there at the premiere of "Fast and Furious" next month?" ”

Eric wondered, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"Lorcan asked me to go to Los Angeles next month to help her," said Gauth Gauff, with a face on one hand, looking delicate, "If you go too, we can meet then." ”

Eric remembered that ridiculous night in New York and smiled, "Christana Loken? ”

At first, Eric felt that Christana Loken, who had played the T-X Terminator, was more suitable for Letty's role as a wild female driver, than Michelle Rodriguez, so he arranged for her to audition in Los Angeles. Because the audition was good, coupled with the relationship recommended by Eric himself, the role also fell to her smoothly in the end.

"Yes," said Gauver nodded, probably thinking of that night in New York, with a slight blush on her white face.

"It depends on whether I have time by then, but even if I can't go, you can come to Los Angeles and be a guest at Jianjiao Manor."

Qusi Gauff was immediately a little excited: "Really? ”

"Of course," Eric laughed, "you can come with Christana." ”

Quess Gauff immediately misunderstood Eric's meaning and glared at him lightly without any damage: "Eric, you are really bad. ”

"I really want to do something bad when you remind me like that."

With a smile on his lips, Eric looked at the tender baby-faced girl in front of him, remembering Christana Loken's wild appearance. High offense, weak and strong CP, and it's also a beautiful lily CP that straight men like to see.

Noticing Eric's ill-intentioned smile, Rose Gauff cowered her neck delicately, making her want to pinch the baby's face even more.

It's just that this atmosphere with a little charm was quickly broken by someone brutally: "Eric, why are you only here now." Oh, you can't stay backstage this time anymore and disturb the girls getting ready for the catwalk, come on, I've got you a spot in the front. ”

Eric looked at Emily's furious appearance and raised the nut box in front of him: "Amy, I haven't eaten yet." ”

"My girls haven't eaten in three months," Emily said, giving him a blank look, "Get up and come with me." ”

Eric made a chatty gesture to Qusi Gauff and picked up the box of nuts and stood up.

Emily reached out and tried to snatch the nut box, but Eric easily dodged it, so she had to helplessly say: "Okay, but, Eric, you have to pay attention to it in the past two days, the paparazzi in London are much crazier than in New York, and I don't want any messy lace news to appear in the tabloids." ”

Eric immediately felt a little aggrieved, perhaps many people thought that he would definitely be surrounded by people when he came to London to participate in the Victoria's Secret show, but in fact, he didn't touch the ground at all in the past two days. Over the years, Eric has gradually realized that the lives of many rich people are definitely not as luxurious and glamorous as ordinary people imagine, but they are busy like dogs most of the time.

"Emily, I don't even have time to spread the lace news, do I?"

Emily naturally knew Eric's intense schedule in the past two days, and walked in front of her high heels without looking back: "I know this, others don't know, anyway, you pay attention." ”

The front desk of the big show was already full of spectators at this time, and the atmosphere was very lively when it was approaching the opening.

Emily led Eric to an empty seat in the first row on the left side of the catwalk, and several of the guests around her, who had been talking, all stood up when Eric appeared.

Because of the closeness of the two families, Emily often poses as an eldest sister in front of Eric, and Eric gradually gets used to this, and never shows any strong posture in front of Emily.

However, this does not mean that other people can also behave casually in front of Eric. The guests who can be arranged in the front row of the show in front of him are all well-known figures from all walks of life in the UK, but seeing Eric's appearance, all of them show a warm attitude of taking the initiative to make friends.

Emily also volunteered to introduce him: "Eric, this is Mr. Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, which is one of our partners in this big show. ”

Eric naturally knew that Richard Branson, Virgin Records was once an industry owned by the Virgin Group, and reached out to shake the other party.

After Eric and Richard Branson had greeted each other, Emily continued to introduce the others: "Also, Eric, this is Mr. Charles Deleving, he is a successful real estate merchant, and this is his wife, Pandora Stevens, and Ms. Stevens is the Director of Merchandising at Selfridges. ”

When Eric noticed Emily introducing Pandora Stevens, he made a point of glaring at him, realizing that it was Emily asking her to have more contact with him.

He also understands Emily's intentions, although Victoria's Secret will open flagship stores in major European cities such as London and Paris, other clothing brands under LTD will still enter the counters of major department stores. Selfridges' position in the UK is second only to Harrods, which focuses on luxury brands, which happens to be the main target of LTD's clothing brands.

After continuing to introduce the other guests, everyone sat down, and Emily hurried back to the backstage to preside over the overall situation.

Eric happened to be flanked by Richard Branson and Delevei, and there were more than ten minutes left before the opening, and everyone was very talkative, so naturally there was no shortage of topics.

After chatting a few words, Eric saw a blonde girl about twelve or thirteen years old who already had a somewhat slim temperament running from behind, shyly hugging the Delevei couple beside him, and then leaning on Charles Delevei and looking at Eric with bright eyes.

"Eric," Charles Delevei said with a smile as he pushed the girl to her feet, "this is my daughter, Poppy, she's a fan of yours." ”

Eric smiled and reached over, "Hello, Miss Deleving. ”

The girl politely shook Eric's hand and said, "Mr. Williams, you can call me Poppy." ”

"Oh, then you can call me Eric."

Feeling Eric's easy-going attitude, the girl also relaxed a lot, and rubbed on her father a few times, and the Delevues smiled and gave way to the side, and Eric and Richard Branson on the other side saw this situation, and did not mind moving a vacant seat for the girl next to him.

Sitting down next to Eric, Poopy Delevei pulled out a notepad from his delicate Prada handbag: "Eric, can you sign for me?" ”

"Oh, of course," Eric smiled and nodded, taking the notepad and a pen from Poppy Delevei, expertly scribbling his signature and a message of blessing on the notebook, and then returning it to the girl.

"And one more," Poppy Delevue retracted his notebook, but handed over a pink notepad, "This is my sister's, she didn't come here today, but she wants your autograph too." ”

Eric took it and flipped it on his knee and said, "What's your sister's name?" ”

"Kara," Bobbi Delevei said, "Kara Delevai." ”

Eric snorted, smiled and signed the notepad again, but couldn't help but start complaining, Poopy Delevei, Carla Delevei.

Bobby, Cara, Bobbie, Cara......

If you don't think about anything else, two big-eared Chihuahuas with innocent eyes will definitely appear in your mind after reciting them a few more times.

Look at the ghost name of the child, what a pair of parents who don't care.

How good Hawaii is!
