The moment the heels fell off, Diane Kruger's mind buzzed, and the whole person seemed to be emptied in an instant, and the sudden feeling of stepping on the air made her almost fall soft on the catwalk.

Did I mess up?

I messed up!

I messed up...... I messed up...... I messed up......

The desperate thought flew through Diane Kruger's mind countless times, and she seemed to hear the mocking laughter of the audience, but no one shouted to stop, the lights were still changing, the music was still going, and the artificial snow was still fluttering. So, after a moment of hesitation, the girl stood on her bare left foot and continued to walk forward, and at this time, the months of rigorous training finally had its due effect, and despite the loss of a high heel, Diane Kruger's body quickly regained its steady, and the confident and unique step style was once again on display.

The moment the high heels fell off, some people in the audience couldn't help but show gloating expressions, and when Diane Kruger stabilized his figure, many people still felt a little regretful in their hearts: why didn't they fall.

It's just that when Diane Kruger quickly walked confidently to the end of the catwalk with steady steps, most people's mood gradually changed subtly, and everyone involuntarily began to think, if they were facing such an unexpected situation, could they do better than this girl, the answer is absolutely no.

The strong in the face of adversity are always able to easily gain the instinctive respect of people, and the mood of schadenfreude is quickly replaced by admiration. So, when Diane Kruger began to turn around. Spontaneous applause slowly erupted in the room, which reached a climax as Diane Kruger finished the race, and the enthusiastic applause even faintly suppressed the music in the final moments.

Diane Kruger, who basically followed the professional instinct of rigorous training, did not feel this change of mood in the stadium at all. Forced to walk through the whole scene, his figure had just disappeared at the entrance of the backstage, and it was determined that the cameras in the field could no longer track him, Diane Kruger's last strength suddenly ran out, tears welled up, and she collapsed limply on the stairs leading to the backstage.

In addition to Eric's central control room, there were three large screens in the backstage of the show that monitored the situation in the venue. Diane Kruger's heels were found to have fallen, and the backstage field controller notified everyone via the intercom in just a few seconds that Diane Kruger was still on the runway. There was already a stirring in the background.

In the center console, the moment he noticed that Diane Kruger's high heels had fallen, Eric also chuckled in his heart, because this unexpected situation occurred at the last moment in an otherwise flawless big show. If you don't get angry, it's simply impossible.

But. It's happened, and Eric knows that being angry doesn't do anything. Then, noticing the reaction of Diane Kruger, who quickly adjusted his state, and the audience in the stadium, Eric's frowning brows gradually relaxed, rubbing the walkie-talkie that he had unconsciously held in his hand and thinking for a moment, Eric pressed the button to control all the call channels, and said decisively: "I'm Eric Williams, all units pay attention." Each does his job, and everything continues. Don't panic. Nikkor, tell your assistant to send me that heel, immediately. ”

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Eric glanced at the various scenes on the monitor screen that quickly returned to their original order, instructed a staff member sitting in front of the monitor screen, and walked out of the central control room quickly.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Emily and Edward Lazek greeted him.

Seeing Eric, Emily, whose face was also a little unpleasant, couldn't wait to say: "Eric, I just asked Donnie, who is in charge of logistics, if this theme is reshot in the end, artificial snow will definitely not be enough to last four minutes, and it will take at least half an hour to reassemble, what should we do?" ”

Thinking back to what he had just seen, Eric kept walking and said, "No need to reshoot, call Tina later, we need to talk about it." ”

Emily was surprised: "What, no remake, but ......"

"Don't worry, Emily, I've got some good ideas."

As a few people spoke, they had come to the entrance connecting to the front desk, and the Victoria's Secret Angel, who had completed their tasks, walked back from the front desk from time to time, with an almost unanimous expression of relief on their faces. Diane Kruger was already sitting on the stairs, and when she saw Eric appear, her slender body shrank for a moment, and tears that had not stopped welled up again: "Yes...... I'm sorry, Mr. Williams, I messed up, I didn't mean to, I don't know why that heel ...... Why did it fall all of a sudden. ”

Eric sighed softly in his heart, although he had already thought of a countermeasure, but this Victoria's Secret show did not achieve the perfect effect he wanted after all. Seeing that Diane Kruger still had the big slightly heavy wings on his back, Eric motioned to the two staff members and said, "Help Diane take off the wings, and what about the high heels?" ”

Hearing that Eric was going to take off the Victoria's Secret angel wings on his body, Diane Kruger's expression was even more sad, but he didn't dare to say anything, he messed up such an important matter, and even if he had to make up the shot, there would definitely be nothing to do with her.

The angel wings were quickly removed, and without the angel wings, Diane Kruger's body looked even more delicate, and with that heartbroken expression, anyone would inevitably feel a sense of pity.

Nikle, who was in charge of photography at the front desk, quickly asked his assistant to send the high heels over, Eric instructed the people around him to find a transparent plastic bag, put the high heels in, looked at the girl in front of him, Eric raised his feet and stepped on the steps and sat down next to Diane Kruger, and gently reached out to pick up the girl.

Feeling Eric's movements, Diane Kruger's body stiffened slightly, and she quickly leaned over obediently, leaning on Eric's shoulder, feeling a little more relieved in her heart, and gradually stopped sobbing.

Xiao Nizi, who came with Eric, couldn't help but pout her lips when she watched this scene. The expressions of the other people gathered around were a little strange at the same time, but before they could show any ambiguous expressions, they were attracted by Eric's subsequent movements. Some even involuntarily took a cool breath.

Because, Eric, was carefully examining the heels through a plastic bag.

The last theme continues, and the music in the arena is still playing, but the small area at the entrance of the backstage seems to create a silent vacuum with Eric's movements.

Why did Eric check that heel!

The sharp-eyed people around had noticed that the silver heels in the clear plastic bag had laces on the front. But by this time it had been broken in two. The thought came to everyone's minds at the same time, and someone was jealous of the special treatment that Diane Kruger was receiving, so he manipulated the high heel. I want to make her ugly.

This kind of deception is actually very common in the fashion industry, where models push each other on the runway and cause each other to fall more than once. But everyone just didn't expect that at Eric's big show, there would be people who would dare to do this.

Most people noticed Eric's solemn expression. It's a little silent. Emily didn't have such scruples, stepped forward and took the high heels from Eric's hand, looked at them carefully, and said with some uncertainty: "Eric, it looks like this is a natural break?" ”

Eric also felt as if the lace had broken naturally, but he didn't believe it could have happened, as the shoe had only been worn a few times during the final few full-time rehearsals. There were no problems in those few times, but now it suddenly breaks. It's just a bit of a coincidence.

Looking at the surrounding senior executives of the Victoria's Secret project team and the staff who probed the brain not far away, Eric thought for a moment, and handed the high heels in the plastic bag to Emily: "You contact the FBI and ask them to help do a trace test on the broken lace to determine whether it is an accidental break, if it is an accident, then forget it." Also, don't forget to ask them to take the fingerprints from this shoe. ”

After thinking about it, Eric took off the shoes on Diane Kruger's other foot, and handed it to Emily in a plastic bag: "And this one, see if anyone does it." ”

"I'll do it, and try to get the results tomorrow," Emily put away her high heels with a solemn face, and said, "I won't participate in the next aftermath party, you can help preside over it." ”

A group of people watched Emily leave in a hurry with the pair of high heels, and they all had a feeling like a prelude to a storm in their hearts, Eric just said that if it was an accident, forget it, and did not mention what if it was not an accident, but they all knew very well that if someone was behind it, then Eric would definitely not give up.

When Emily left, Eric waved his hand to the people around him: "The last theme is almost over, let's go and get ready for the curtain call, no need to gather here." ”

Everyone returned to their jobs one after another, and Eric looked at Diane Kruger, who was still leaning on him: "Can you still go on stage, you performed so well today, it would be a pity if you didn't show up at the curtain call." ”

Although Diane Kruger has realized that the catwalk accident just now is not her own fault, the prostration after being strongly stimulated is not so easy to recover, and after taking a few deep breaths, the girl still feels weak in her hands and feet, and has no strength to get up at all.

Eric patted her on the shoulder soothingly, and said to Edward Lazek, "Edward, let's let that rock band perform another song later, the curtain call is delayed for five minutes." ”

Edward nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie, said a few words, and walked towards the stage.

Eric looked at Diane Kruger beside him and asked, "Five minutes left, would you like to eat something, it might be better?" ”

"Hmm," Diane Kruger nodded in a weak voice, her face flushed as she didn't expect Eric to postpone the end of the show for her own sake.

Eric looked up at the twins beside Xiao Nizi: "Natasha, you come and help Diane to the rest area." ”

The twins had just made a move, but Drew reached out to stop them.

Xiao Nizi snorted, pulled the twins and turned away, leaving only the sentence 'You helped yourself'.

Eric shook his head and smiled, this dead girl hadn't been jealous for a long time, Eric almost forgot that women are jealous.

Looking at Diane Kruger, who was sitting beside him like a docile kitten, Eric shrugged his shoulders, reached out and picked up the girl, and walked towards the rest area under the slightly surprised gaze of everyone backstage.

It wasn't until Diane Kruger, who was placed in a chair by Eric and blushing, whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Williams." ”

Eric took a stack of chocolates from the workbench and handed it to Diane Kruger, smiling, "You're welcome, it's very comfortable to hold." ”

This slightly ridiculous remark made Diane Kruger's cheeks even hotter, but she still had the audacity to whisper, "What if...... If you want, you can...... Feel free to ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Diane Kruger had to close his mouth when he noticed a staff member hurrying over with a few pairs of high heels.

The show at the front of the stage was soon over, and with Eric's reassurance, Diane Kruger gradually regained his strength, and forty supermodels took to the stage together to complete the perfect curtain call of the fashion event.

Although there was a small accident in the middle, for most people, the Victoria's Secret show was still very satisfying, and the after-party at the Gramercy Hotel on Lexington Avenue was even more exciting for the lucky guests.

However, while many people were partying to their heart's content, Eric and all the leaders of the Victoria's Secret show unknowingly left the venue early and gathered in the conference room of the LTD group headquarters in New York.

Eric stood in front of the boardboard in the conference room and pasted a large photograph that had just been printed on the board.

Emily, Edward Lazek and Yahoo editor-in-chief Tina Brown and others all looked at it, it was a close-up of the Victoria's Secret catwalk, and everyone could tell from the lights and the audience that it was a photo of the scene, of course, the most obvious sign was the eye-catching silver high heel left in the center of the runway.

Eric stood aside and quietly let everyone in the room admire it for a moment before asking, "So, what did everyone think of when they saw this photo?" ”

What else could it be, of course, a frightening moment at tonight's Victoria's Secret show!

Emily thought to herself, she was in a cold sweat when she was next to a big screen backstage, completely experiencing the whole process of Diane Kruger's shoes falling off.

The other project team leaders present felt almost the same as Emily, and some even wondered why Eric didn't reshoot the last theme, and carefully prepared a big show for almost half a year, only to end up with a shoe, which looked simply terrible.

As a bystander, Tina Brown's mind was different from Emily and the others, she looked at the photo posted by Eric and thought for a moment before she spat out a word, somewhat uncertain: "Cinderella? ”

"That's right," Eric nodded approvingly, "it's Cinderella." ”

Eric and Tina Brown said this, and everyone else in the room reacted.

The silver high heels left on the radiant catwalk in the photo, when you taste it carefully, really look like the crystal slipper left by Cinderella in a fairy tale.

Seeing that everyone was looking back, Eric continued: "I've seen all the footage of Diane's shoes after they fell, and Diane's performance is almost the same as when the shoes didn't fall off, and I believe that after post-editing, what is shown in front of the audience is still amazing. Not only that, but this heel drop event can also turn into a very clever promotional point. ”

Speaking of this, Eric quickly picked up a pen and wrote a line of phrases on the clipboard, saying: "So, in addition to the established marketing strategy, we also have to temporarily add a promotional branch, which is codenamed 'Cinderella Incident'." (To be continued.) )
