Los Angeles, in a simple office inside a Firefly Studios studio.

Cindy Crawford felt that her thoughts were simply asking for herself, and her agent Jeremy was perusing an endorsement contract with her supermodels of the same level, Linda Ivan Golinsta and Christy Durrington, while the hateful man across from her, who seemed to have nothing to do, kept looking at her with an interested gaze. If this kind of gaze is full of fascination, coveting, and even undisguised lust like other men, she will not feel anything, and may even be a little complacent. However, the man's eyes were not at all like looking at a beautiful woman, but more like admiring a beautiful pet.

There was a gentle knock on the office door, and when permission was granted, a staff member brought in Cindy Crawford's clothes.

Cindy Crawford didn't mean to find a room to replace the inner suit just now, and put the long black dress directly on her body in the office, only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief, sat back in her chair, and glared at Eric opposite her with a little dissatisfaction.

Eric smiled faintly and said softly, "It's better to wear clothes." ”

"Mr. Williams," Cindy Crawford retorted, finally holding back, "you're talking about a ...... Barbie?"

Eric shook his head and said, "Of course not, you're much prettier than Barbie." Oh, but I know a girl who looks like a real Barbie and makes you want to pinch that little face. ”

Cindy Crawford noticed that a soft and even doting smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Eric's mouth when he said these words, and a hint of jealousy appeared in front of such a beautiful woman as herself. This hateful fellow could even think of other women so intriguedly. And the expression is so gentle. It's just unreasonable.

Thinking of the recent situation, Cindy Crawford's resentment and grievances poured out again, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help it, showing a resentful and weak expression, and said: "Mr. Williams, I am twenty-eight years old this year. ”

Eric didn't shy away from the compliments that are characteristic of Westerners, and said, "Compared to other Supermodels." You are really well maintained, and I believe that you will definitely be so bright and beautiful in ten years. ”

Although she couldn't hear much sincerity in Eric's tone, Cindy Crawford was still much more comfortable, but her tone was more resentful: "But as a model, after the age of thirty, I will definitely not be able to compete with the new generation, I ...... It took me half a year to barely get a chance in Hollywood, just to continue my career. Why do you have to embarrass a little woman like me?"

Eric smiled and said, "Do you think I deliberately messed with your character?"

Cindy Crawford didn't answer. But he made a look, isn't it?

Eric said, "This matter does have something to do with me, but I didn't mess with your character. It's that the film project has a problem. And, if everything goes according to the trajectory, that film will be your starting point in Hollywood, and it will be your end. ”

Cindy Crawford thought of Joe Silvo's gloomy face that night, and immediately understood Eric's words.

However, she also quickly caught another loophole, saying: "The role that originally belonged to me fell into the hands of Claudia Schiffer, how can you explain this, aren't you worried that this film will become Claudia Schiffer's Hollywood terminal?"

"This is an emergency, Joe Silvo is trying to pull me in through Claudia," Eric said without denying his relationship with Claudia, "I didn't know about it beforehand, and I didn't plan to interfere afterwards." As for the impact, it's just that way for you. Not to mention that Joe Silvo will definitely make adjustments to the project, even if Claudia does it, do you think I'll affect her in any way?"

Cindy Crawford felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, and moved her lips, but said nothing.

Jeremy, who had been sitting next to him and listening secretly, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little glad that Eric didn't mind Cindy Crowe's little provocation.

He also understood at this time that the whole thing Cindy Crawford's role was completely a little bug that was inadvertently trampled to death by a passerby, and Cindy Crawford's accusation against Eric was like a little bug's relatives involuntarily suing passers-by for murder, which not only did not attract passers-by's attention, but made people feel ridiculous and ridiculous.

When the two of them were quiet, Jeremy was about to do his duty as an agent to discuss the contract with Eric, but thinking of what had just happened, he suddenly felt that maybe it would be more appropriate for Cindy Crawford to speak on her own, and beautiful women always get more tolerance.

Although Cindy Crawford is more well-known than Linda Ivan Golinsta and Christy Durrington, Jeremy is not unhappy with the same treatment as the other two in this contract, but pushes the contract to Cindy Crawford, pointing to one of the terms that he feels necessary to bargain over.

Seeing the two of them comparing each other, Eric took the initiative to say, "If you need to discuss it privately, I can avoid it." ”

"No need," Cindy Crawford quickly looked up and said to Eric, "Mr. Williams, we have no objection to this contract, but is the five-year contract too long?"

Eric said: "If you think it's long, we can sign it for two years." ”

Cindy Crawford and Jeremy looked at each other for a moment, and they almost thought they had misheard.

However, Eric did not 'disappoint' them, and quickly added: "However, before making a decision, you can take a look at the contract ...... It should be the seventh page, I don't remember which one, the contract states that Party A will use its own media resources to help its spokesperson increase his personal fame and public influence. But if you're not willing to sign a five-year contract, neither LTD nor Firefly can tilt too many resources into you, and that's not all. We will also train your successor from now on. Pour the media resources that belong to you into her. When your contract expires, the girl can take your place. ”

The channels for models to start and maintain their fame are actually very narrow, except for those who go off the rails and have scandals with movie stars, singers or football stars, the more orthodox way is to continuously land on the cover of magazines in various ways, so people will always see that some supermodels will always add a link to the cover of many well-known magazines in their profiles.

Jeremy had just noticed the contract that Eric was talking about, but because it was too general and didn't give any specific promises at all, he didn't pay attention to it. At this point, hearing Eric specifically mention the intrinsic connection between this clause and the five-year contract, the two suddenly realized the gold content of this seemingly inconspicuous contract.

Firefly, a huge media group involving a full range of mainstream media such as film and television, has media resources that are definitely not comparable to simple print media, for example, if you can get the opportunity to be the heroine of a film under Firefly, the influence is definitely no less than being on 100 magazines. And the more famous the model, the higher the endorsement fee from the business, although the contract given by Eric, although it is stipulated that the endorsement work related to Victoria's Secret must be the first priority at all times. However, in addition to the domestic brands in the same industry, they are not prohibited from accepting endorsement contracts for other products. So. If Firefly gives them media resources according to the contract, Cindy Crawford believes that her endorsement value on any brand in the future will definitely be much higher than before.

Although her mind was already moving, Cindy Crawford cleverly asked, "Mr. Williams, can you be more specific about this clause?"

"To be more specific, such as movie roles, cameo opportunities in TV series, talk show guest invitations, interviews with traditional print media, online media publicity, etc., even if you write a book on beauty and maintenance at any time, as long as it is not too bad, Firefly can help you contact publishing and marketing. Because the future popularity of your five main spokespersons also means the exposure of the Victoria's Secret brand, you can rest assured that Fireflies will never spare these resources," After a pause, Eric looked at Cindy Crawford's beautiful face again and said, " Actually, there is a very good opportunity now, if it is not for the wrong time, I can recommend you to try the role of the Bond Girl in Part 17 007, although the previous 007 series of Bond Girls are vases, but the role in this one is very different from the previous ones, and it will definitely bring good fame to the actors. ”

Eric is talking about the villain Bond Girl who was once played by Famick Jensen in "GoldenEye" in his previous life, and the wildness and recklessness, bloodlust and madness of the Russian female agent left a very deep impression on the audience, and also opened up the situation for Famick Jensen in Hollywood. Compared with the unlucky vase girl character in "Confrontational Game", this villain Bond Girl is definitely 100 times stronger, but now that Farmic Jensen has started filming the fifth "The X-Files", he can't squeeze out the schedule, and Eric can only let MGM choose the right person himself.

Cindy Crawford was just about to try to get Eric to refine these promises into specific contracts, when he heard his last words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Mr. Williams, I can prepare for the catwalk while participating in the show, you have just seen my steps, I believe that I will definitely not have to go through long preparation training like those rookies, right?"

As she spoke, the girl threw a teasing and charming look at Eric.

Eric shook his head unmoved, "No, you can only choose one." ”

"Then I'm ......"

And only the first option can be chosen. ”

Cindy Crawford was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that she could only choose the former, and her eyes flashed with loss, and the girl still complained unwillingly: "Mr. Williams, you are really unkind." ”

The girl's smooth and easy change of style made Eric once again have the idea of slaying demons and eliminating demons.

Uh, why do you say it again?

Coughing lightly, and putting aside the nonsense, Eric said, "If there are no other questions, I'll contact Miss Emily Brighton, and you can sign the contract tomorrow." ”

Cindy Crawford tried to say something, but Eric waved her hand to stop her.

"Miss Crawford, I know what you're trying to say. This clause on the promise of media resources is indeed a bit general. But you should be clear. Even if I remove this one. There are few supermodels who will refuse this contract, and the endorsement fee of $10 million over five years is not the highest, and the workload is a bit large, but there are few models in the entire modeling circle who are worth more than this number. As long as you can work together happily, I will definitely not be stingy to give you more rewards in the future. ”

After Eric finished speaking, Cindy Crawford wisely chose moderation and said, "Then." I'm fine, Mr. Williams. ”

"Okay, then tell me what I want," Eric asked, sweeping his gaze over Cindy Crawford again, "How much do you weigh now?"

Cindy Crawford was suddenly a little embarrassed, because she had been busy with Hollywood in the past six months, and she was no longer as cautious about her body shape as before, and after hesitating, the girl still replied honestly: "136 pounds." ”

At 136 pounds, which is equivalent to 61 kilograms, it is not at all overweight for Cindy Crawford, who is almost 1.8 meters tall.

But. Eric remembered Cindy Crawford's figure when he was wearing Neiyi, and shook his head, "Two months." I want to see a beautiful vest line, can I?"

Cindy Crawford said yes I can answer no, but the little thought just turned around in her mind, so she changed her posture in a charming way, showing the curves of her body, and nodded teasingly: "Of course it's fine, Mr. Williams, but I already have a vest line, maybe you didn't notice it just now." ”

Eric smiled and nodded playfully, "It's okay, there will definitely be a chance next time." ”

It wasn't that Eric couldn't hear some of the hints in the girl's tone, but he was more used to hunting than being a prey.

Cindy Crawford found that such an obvious hint could not get Eric to take the initiative to send out a date invitation, and continued to say a few polite words with a curtive expression, agreed on the signing time, and left with his agent.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Kelly Haynes pushed the door into Eric's office in the studio, and found that there was a black piano inside, and Eric was sitting next to the piano playing an unfamiliar tune.

Although the syllables under Eric's fingertips are a little jerky, the sad and languid slow melody still has a kind of contagious contagion, which makes people unconsciously produce a sense of despair that is almost crying.

Holding a few thick papers, Kelly leaned against the door in a daze, staring at the focused back.

You are already so good, so dazzling, so powerful, what else can cause you to feel lonely in your heart?

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and Eric picked up his pencil and was about to add something to the unfinished score, when he felt the breath behind him, turned his head, and found Kelly standing there with tears in her eyes, with a kind of maternal pity on her face.

Eric hurriedly got up and came to Kelly's side, took the thick stack of papers and threw them aside, hugged the woman in his arms, and said softly, "Why are you crying?"

Kelly, who was leaning on Eric's arms, suddenly gave birth to a little girl-like shyness, shook her head and whispered, "No, I'm just ...... I brought with you the report you asked, as well as a letter from Mr. Buffett. ”

Eric recalled Kelly's expression just now, and suddenly smiled, "Have you been here for a while?"

Kelly nodded and said, "I knocked on the door, you didn't hear me." ”

Eric almost understood what was going on, shook his head, and said, "Looks like I'm really a failure." ”

Kelly didn't understand what Eric was saying, but Eric had already taken her little hand, came to the bench of the piano plate and sat down, and said, "Come and see the new song I wrote, can you play the piano?"

"Hmm. ”

Kelly nodded, took Eric and scanned only a small part of the score, her delicate fingers resting on the keys, and the tune began to sound again without hindrance.

Eric could instantly hear that Kelly's piano level could definitely throw himself ten streets, and said, "I would have called you over if I knew I wouldn't have written so painfully." ”

Kelly picked up a pencil, corrected a few minor errors in Eric's score, and asked softly, "Why did you write such a sad tune?"

"I wrote a background song for the big show, but your reaction wasn't what I wanted, so I'm just going to say failure," Eric said with his fingers lightly running over the keys, "This song is not about sadness, but about a sense of disillusionment after an ideal is shattered." In the story, the high-spirited teenager chased half his life for the illusory dream in his heart, became famous, and suddenly looked back, only to find that things are not human, and a luxurious life is not what he wants, and the girl back then is no longer an imaginary angel, but he doesn't want to wake up, so he sinks in the glitz, sinks, and then dies. ”

Kelly looked at Eric's side face and muttered, "The Great Gatsby?"

"yes," Eric smiled and leaned in, kissing Kelly lightly on the lips, half-truthfully, "Can you not be so smart, it will make me very stressed." ”

With fascination and adoration in her eyes, Kelly said, "Who can be as smart as you, I have studied the piano for so many years, but I will never be able to write such a tune." ”

"Don't worship me, it will make me feel like a liar. ”

"You've cheated me out of everything," Kelly blurted out in a fluttering heart, but then she regretted it, her face was ruddy, her eyes were evasive, and she said, "So, what's the name of this song?"

"In its prime. ”

Eric put the half of the score on the shelf and said, "You can play it, and I'll sing it to you." ”

The slow tune sounded again, and Eric sung softly, and although the slightly hoarse male voice could not compare with the innocence and desolation of Lana Drey, it had a different kind of decadence.
