Chapter 938: You can't eat it, right?
"It's an interview with the influence of Victoria's Secret Angels," Emily said, "and when it airs on TV, I plan to include an interview with executives to Victoria's Secret Angels themselves around this Victoria's Secret Angels income list in the intersession. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Eric understood, in the final analysis, it was still to hype the annual income of Victoria's Secret Angel, so that the Victoria's Secret brand would win more eyeballs.
He pointed to Edward Lazek, who had been promoted to the chief marketing officer of Victoria's Secret not far away, and said with a smile: "Well, a few of you can just say a few words, let me come forward to praise how much money Victoria's Secret Angel has made this year, do you think it's appropriate? I think the audience is more likely to turn their minds to 'how much money Eric Williams has made this year'." ”
Emily rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry, I will never let them have this association, you are the founder of the Victoria's Secret show, and this topic is originally your most right to speak." You think about what to say, I'll call the photographer. ”
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"
"Who knows where you're going to be in the next few days," Emily said and hurried away again.
As soon as Eric turned his mind around and thought about what to say, Emily had already walked over with a photographer and motioned for Eric to go with him to a quieter office next door.
Sitting down on the sofa in the office, waiting for the photographer to turn on the camera, Emily looked at Eric who still didn't seem ready to say anything, and knew that the topic was a little sudden, so she took the initiative to guide: "So, tell me first, what is the root cause of the income growth of Victoria's Secret Angels?"
Emily asked, naturally hoping that Eric could turn the topic to the Victoria's Secret brand's promotion of angel supermodels, she actually only needed Eric to say some relevant words, and then select a few suitable words to insert into the interview tidbits.
However, Eric didn't understand Emily's intention this time, thought about it, and said: "The root cause, I think it should be the actual embodiment of the realization of the eyeball economy." ”
"Eyeball economy?" Emily asked in confusion.
Sensing Emily's confusion, Eric realized that eyeball economy might have been a term that only became popular after the rise of the Internet, explaining: "Eyeball economy is an economic activity that gains economic benefits by attracting public attention. More traditionally, the ratings of a TV station or the circulation of a newspaper, in the final analysis, need to attract enough eyeballs to reach a certain height. The same is true for the emerging group of Victoria's Secret Angels, with thousands of girls working in modeling careers around the world, but only this group attracts the majority of the public's attention to models. ”
Emily was clearly misled by Eric, and retorted, "It doesn't seem to make sense that just if the attention increases, their personal income will increase significantly." ”
"Of course, in many news events, some ordinary people will suddenly get a lot of attention, but this does not bring them any real financial benefits. Eric agreed: "This also involves a monetization channel, Victoria's Secret angels have gained higher attention through the Victoria's Secret catwalk, and at the same time, they have a complete brokerage team behind them to monetize this attention." In order to increase their popularity, those fashion brands are also willing to pay a higher price than before, hiring supermodels from Victoria's Secret Angels to serve as their brand ambassadors. Eventually, their income is much higher than before. I remember Linda saying before that she wouldn't get out of bed without $10,000 a day. But now, if you want to invite her to a catwalk, $100,000 may not be enough, and that's because she has gathered more 'eyeballs' than ever before. ”
Emily held her chin and thought about it, nodded and said, "That's really the case, I can't imagine that there are so many interesting theories in your belly." This, the eyeball economy, seems to fit very well with the current Internet industry. ”
"Of course, whether it's a portal or an e-commerce, it needs to get enough attention to be successful. If you pay attention to Amazon's hunger marketing with Fireflyer in the first half of the year, you can appreciate this more deeply. Wall Street's valuation of Amazon, which was only $2 billion in the first half of the year, is now $4.5 billion, so it can be said that the eyeball economic effect generated by hunger marketing has brought Amazon $2.5 billion in book earnings. Yahoo wants to maintain its current rapid development, and its future marketing strategy also needs to firmly grasp the concept of eyeball economy, which I remember writing a memo to Yahoo's senior management, if you are interested, you can look for it. ”
Emily nodded heartily, feeling that the photographer next to her also had an interested look on his face, only then did she realize her current state, glared at Eric very unreasonably, and said, "You diverted the topic again, we are talking about Victoria's Secret Angel now." ”
The catwalk went on outside, and Emily didn't want to be there if something unexpected happened. So he stopped asking any ambiguous questions, and asked Eric to say a few kind words to the Angel Legion very bluntly, and then the recording ended.
Although it is the fourth catwalk, whether it is the senior management of LTD or the angel supermodel who participated in the catwalk, every catwalk is still trembling.
Emily and other management are worried about what will happen during the catwalk, and the angel supermodels are worried about whether they will fall on the runway. Although Diane Kruger staged a 'Cinderella incident' with a shoe that was lost on the stage, she became the most popular supermodel in the first Victoria's Secret show. But in the past few years, no supermodel has dared to do this deliberately, and all Victoria's Secret Angels only hope that they can complete their runway show smoothly.
Fortunately, after a tense and hectic sixty minutes, the catwalk finally came to a successful end.
After the curtain call, the guests at the front desk began to leave one after another, but this time the forty-three Victoria's Secret Angels gathered in the backstage again, and as soon as the group photo was taken for promotion, everyone would rush to the nearby Gramercy Park Hotel to participate in the after-party.
Ignoring the noise of a group of excited girls not far away, Eric was sitting not far away with Elton John, who was the guest singer on the catwalk, chatting, trying to persuade the British music legend to join the Yahoo Music Store, but Cindy and Linda ran over from the crowd and pulled Eric to participate in the group photo.
Eric looked at the strappy high-heeled boots on their legs that were above their knees, shook his head resolutely, and said with a smile: "No, I don't stand with you goblins for a group of photos, this will affect my tall and heroic image very much." ”
The average height of Victoria's Secret Angels is close to 1.8 meters, not to mention that they are basically wearing all kinds of high heels at this time, although Eric's height is not short, but it must be very incongruous to stand in the middle of this group of goblins.
Linda took Eric's hand very dissatisfied, and said, "Then you can sit, and we will move a stool for you." ”
Eric patted the two-seater couch where he and Elton John were sitting, and said, "You move this over there, and I'll shoot it." ”
"Hah, do you think we can't move here," Cindy said, shouting to the crowd not far away, and the group of goblins who were in a state of excitement after successfully completing the catwalk rushed up without hesitation.
Elton John smiled and quickly got up to dodge, and Eric also stood up and said, "Okay, okay, no need to move, I'll go over." ”
The Victoria's Secret angels, who were already a little crazy, ignored Eric, and amid the laughter of everyone, seven or eight girls easily lifted the two-seater sofa and walked towards the photo area.
Linda watched the sisters put the sofa in front of the photo wall, glanced at Eric proudly, pulled him over, pressed him to the center of the sofa, and did not leave, and sat down next to Eric.
With Linda taking the lead, and the other angels also rushed up, Cindy easily grabbed the position on Eric's right, and the armrests on the sofa on both sides were also quickly occupied, and there was also a fragrant wind behind Eric, and I could feel a few pairs of small hands touching and eating his little tofu without knowing whether they were intentional or unintentional.
Russell James, Victoria's Secret royal photographer with a camera, seemed to think that the scene was not lively enough, and waved his hand: "Mr. Williams, are you okay with your legs crossed? ”
Now that he had been pulled over, Eric had no choice but to his legs in cooperation, but he was thinking in his heart that this photo must not be circulated, otherwise he would definitely be drawn in a small circle by countless male creatures.
Quess Gauff, who was huddled around because she was a newcomer, heard Russell James's words and immediately left her place and walked to the front of the sofa.
As a top model, posing was almost instinctive, and it was natural for Quess Gauff to sit down next to Eric's lap, curling up her long legs slightly, and resting one arm gently on Eric's knee. On the other side, Helena Christensen occupies the place, and her soft body, still dressed in a sexy angel costume, is gently pressed against Eric's legs.
Russell James commanded several supermodels to change poses, and forty-three human stunners surrounded Eric tightly, before he raised his camera and shouted, "OK, three, two, one." ”
“yeah!”
In the ballroom of the Gramercy Garden Hotel, all the angel supermodels have changed into costumes.
Eric had just finished a dance with Cindy and came off the dance floor when he was stopped by Stephanie Seymour, who was holding her husband, Peter Grant.
After a few quick pleasantries, Stephanie Seymour asked in a let-of-the-art manner, "Eric, I heard that MGM is working on a TV series that you conceived for the newly acquired Bravo Channel, do you think I could give it a try?"
The TV series that Stephanie Seymour is talking about is naturally "Desperate Housewives", and now the TV series has begun casting and is scheduled to be broadcast next spring.
Eric knew that this year was the last Victoria's Secret catwalk that Stephanie Seymour would attend, and although she was not yet thirty years old, her husband, publishing tycoon Peter Grant, obviously did not want his wife to continue to appear on the Victoria's Secret runway, so he even greeted Emily in private.
Eric wouldn't have exposed these little moves, after all, if it were him, he would probably do the same.
Glancing at Peter Grant, who was obviously a little helpless on his face while maintaining a smile, Eric showed a regretful expression and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Stephanie, three of the four heroines in the plan are all set to be around forty years old, and the last one is the same age as yours, but I hope this character can be Latina American, you know, we have to set up some minority characters." ”
Speaking of which, Stephanie Seymour seems to be only twenty-nine years old this year, and even her career is very much in line with the role of a retired supermodel played by Eva Longoria in the original "Desperate Housewives". If it weren't for 'political correctness', it would have been possible for Stephanie Seymour to try. As for Peter Grant's thoughts, Eric naturally didn't care.
It's just that although the wisteria community in the script is obviously a wealthy middle-class white community, if ABC really sets all four heroines as white, if the series becomes popular in the future, it will inevitably be attacked by people with a heart on the topic of racial discrimination, and a Latino will be stuffed in, which can be regarded as blocking some people's mouths.
Stephanie Seymour was not discouraged, as if she wanted to say something, Peter Grant, who was standing next to her, finally couldn't help but say: "Baby, you still don't embarrass Eric, I think it's best for you to put your mind on the child in the past few years." ”
Due to her age, Stephanie Seymour, who realized that she was about to retire, couldn't wait to marry Peter Grant a few years ago, but several consecutive Victoria's Secret shows unexpectedly gave her a second spring in her career.
As an ambitious woman, she now has a little regret in her heart. She is leaving the Victoria's Secret stage next year, and she knows that if she doesn't do something, it won't take two years for her newly revitalized career to fall silent again, so she hopes to get a chance to participate in a TV series from Eric.
Due to the subject matter, several heroines of "Lust City" are now thriving in the fashion circle, and Stephanie Seymour is not too suspicious that if she can get a role, her fame can be maintained for a long time.
However, hearing her husband say this, Stephanie Seymour couldn't let him get off the stage in front of Eric and Cindy, so she had to nod obediently and chat with Eric before reluctantly walking away with Peter Grant.
Cindy watched Stephanie and the two walk away, and then smiled with a bit of schadenfreude: "Look, Stephanie must regret her death now, marriage is not only the grave of love, but also the grave of career." ”
Eric smiled and said, "If it weren't for Victoria's Secret, I think you should have gone to the 'grave' by now, right?"
"yes, I'm probably, well, going to find a man who is a little worse than me, but not too far behind, so that I can live freely, not like Stephanie who is bound by her husband's family background. ”
Seeing Emily not far away, Eric walked over with Cindy and asked, "And now?"
"Now," Cindy shook her head with a little more confusion in her eyes, and said, "Now, the kind of man I originally hoped for would be difficult to find, and if it was too far worse than me, it would definitely not be able to survive." If they are similar to me or better than me, they will definitely think that I am too strong, and I guess it is not good. ”
"Then you can just find a woman, I think Linda is good, hehe, and then adopt a child," Eric joked casually, not noticing Cindy's changing expression, walked up to Emily, mentioned the matter of the group photo just now, and said: "That photo, you must not send it out, I don't want to be so jealous that I lose my eggs when I walk on the road these days." ”
Emily gave Eric a blank look and said, "I thought you'd be very proud." ”
"What is there to be proud of, you can only look at it and not eat it. ”
Emily glanced at Cindy and smiled, "I don't think you can't eat it, you can't eat it, right? That's forty-three." ”
Eric was immediately dissatisfied: "Eh, are you looking down on me?"
"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, of course I won't let people send out that picture, don't worry," Emily said, said hello to Cindy, who still looked thoughtful, and walked towards a guest not far away with a smile. (To be continued.) )
