Shortly before the opening, Eric saw Emily personally accompany Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, into the runway. Noticing the two walking towards him, Eric took the initiative to stand up, he was still very curious about the famous fashion witch.

Ana Wintour wears her bob head as in all the images, but without her signature Prada sunglasses.

"Eric, this is Anna Wintour, Anna, this is Eric. Although we all knew each other, Emily explained to each other very formally.

"Hello, Mr. Williams, it's a pleasure to meet you. Anna Wintour enthusiastically held out her hand to Eric.

Anna Wintour's voice was hoarse and tired, but she spoke as fast as many elites. Eric shook his hand and said, "Me too, Lady Wintour, just call me Eric." ”

After a few conversations, Anna Wintour walked to her seat, and Eric was about to sit in his seat when Emily gently pulled him. Eric had no choice but to move Cage and Brigitte Fonda to the left and sit back next to Anna Wintour.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Emily's female assistant came out of the backstage with a brown bear in her arms and came to Eric: "Mr. Williams, time is too tight, only this one was found, do you think it's okay?"

Eric found that the female assistant was holding a teddy bear in his hand, and remembered a certain R-rated comedy that ruined his childhood, and subconsciously showed a somewhat evil smile, took the teddy bear from the female assistant's hand, and said, "Yes, thank you." ”

The female assistant smiled a little shyly, nodded to Emily next to her, and walked backstage again.

Many of the Hollywood stars who were invited to the show were already looking at Eric from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many media reporters in the field, it is estimated that these people would have put down their reserve and come over. Seeing a staff member inexplicably bring Eric a teddy bear, most of them seemed to have found a valid reason and looked at it blatantly.

Eric gave Anna Wintour, who was about to talk to him, gave him a waiting look, got up and walked over to Ivanka, who was a few steps away, and handed the teddy bear to the girl: "Here." Ini, this is your mascot for tonight. ”

Ivanka subconsciously took it, and saw that everyone around her was looking at her, and the girl was embarrassed to throw the teddy bear away, so she could only hold it obediently in front of her, and at the same time looked at her father beside her for help, but Donald Trump also looked smiling, he was originally a showy person, after the release of "Jurassic Park". Ivanka once again appeared in the movie with a puppet, letting the world know the cute image of a girl, and of course he, a father, also felt very face-saving.

Seeing Eric stuffing the teddy bear into Ivanka's arms, many people present instantly understood, and many of them let out soft laughter, and the media reporters standing on the periphery also raised their cameras one after another, and there was a flash of magnesium lights in the venue.

Seeing that Eric was still cheeky and came to his side, he asked a nearby reporter to help take a group photo. Ivanka was very ladylike and cute, but after taking a group photo, she whispered in Eric's ear, "You bad guy." I'll never do your movies again. ”

"That's not good, I've paid for it, Miss Trump, are you going to break the contract?"

"And what about this time?" Ivanka raised the teddy bear in her hand, for some reason, he always felt that Eric looked at the bear with a sinister look in his eyes.

"How about a thousand dollars?"

"You're richer than my father, but you're only willing to pay a thousand dollars. It's so stingy. When Ivanka heard this topic, she subconsciously began to bargain, which made Eric almost laugh out loud, it seems that although Lolita has become a girl, the little bit of money that Eric inadvertently buried in her bones still remains.

Eric said unhurriedly, "No." Do you make an offer?"

Ivanka thought about it for a while, plucked up her courage and said, "Ten thousand dollars!" After the girl finished speaking, she seemed to feel that she was a little 'lion's mouth', her face was red, and she quickly said: "I want to save my future tuition fees by myself, and I won't have to spend my father's money then." ”

"Well, ten thousand dollars is ten thousand dollars," Eric said, feigning pain.

Ivanka completely ignored Eric's expression, and when she heard him agree, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she stretched out her little hand: "Take it." ”

Eric spread his hands: "I don't have it now, I'll have someone give it to you when the fashion show is over." ”

The girl solemnly instructed: "Then don't forget." ”

Eric returned to his seat, and Anna Wintour, who had been watching his every move, immediately said, "Eric, you are such an interesting person. ”

"Thank you, Anna. ”

Eric smiled and nodded, he felt that Anna Wintour's attitude was a little too enthusiastic, and after a few words, Eric realized that Anna Wintour wanted to invite him to be interviewed by Vogue magazine. This woman has a very good mouth, and if it weren't for Emily interrupting on the other side and skipping the matter lightly, Eric would almost have been unable to resist agreeing.

The plan didn't work out, Anna Wintour didn't show any signs of impropriety, and half an hour later, the show officially began.

Amid some eerie and melodious music, the models began to walk the runway.

Eric had no idea what the models were wearing on stage, but when he heard the accompanying music, he was in good spirits.

The lead singer of the song is a woman, her voice is faintly hoarse, and her whispered chant is like the pouring out of a ghostly woman in the lonely night.

"Eric, this is a song by the Cranberries from Ireland, called "Pretty", the lead singer is Dorothy Oreodan, the songs of this band are very flavorful, if you are interested, you can buy a record and listen to it. Anna Wintour, who was beside her, noticed Eric's expression and took the initiative to explain.

Eric nodded his head in thanks, and secretly squeezed the name of the song and the information of the Cranberries in his heart.

Aside from a song called "Pretty," the next catwalk was nothing to see for Eric.

More than ten minutes later, the fashion show ended, and most of the people left one after another to run to the next show. Emily, on the other hand, went to a nearby studio and took several sets of photos for the cover of Vogue magazine.

It was already half past eight after doing these things, and Eric had just appeared in the banquet hall of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, and some people who had been waiting for a long time took the initiative to come over.

In addition to Nicolas Cage and Brigitte Fonda in the lineup, Emily also invited seven or eight Hollywood stars. Of course, these people don't expect anything from Eric right away, the main purpose is to get acquainted, as long as Eric has an impression that there are any movie roles for Firefly that are suitable for them in the future, the success rate of getting the role will definitely increase greatly.

After socializing, Eric walked to a couch with Cage and Fonda, sat down, and talked about the movie before the show began.

"It's probably the story of an introverted police officer in Manhattan and a waitress in a restaurant, because by chance, the police officer forgot to bring money. He happened to have a lottery ticket in his hand, so he made an agreement with the waitress that if the ticket was won, the two would divide all the prizes equally. Later, the lottery ticket in the hands of the police officer really won, and after some struggle, he finally made up his mind and divided the prize money of one million dollars to the waitress, and the two came together smoothly......"

Cage's eloquence is not too good. If it was a completely unfamiliar story, Eric would probably have shook his head at this point. However, he remembered this movie, and the amazing thing is that the heroes and heroines of this film in the original time and space happened to be Cage and Fonda, and the name of the movie was "Love in a Fallen City", in Eric's opinion. This film doesn't have too many highlights, but it's not a bad movie, it can only be said to be decent, and the next words of the two will not cause much benefit to their careers. But it will not harm the CP role of the two.

Eric told the two of them his opinion.

"Well, we won't take it," Brigitte Fonda said after hearing Eric's comments.

Cage seems to have this awareness.

Eric laughed, "If you're not going to take on this film, then it's better not to let Michael Eisner know about our side, otherwise, he'll hate me to death." ”

"Of course I'm not going to talk about it casually," Cage smiled, and he was well aware of some of the entanglements between Michael Eisner and Eric, "Since I'm not taking this film, Eric, do you have a role for me there?"

Eric shook his head honestly: "Firefly has been focusing on large-scale special effects films in the past two years, because the 'protagonists' of these films are computer special effects, and in order to save some costs, most of the time some second-tier actors with excellent acting skills will be used. ”

Cage shook his head regretfully, thought for a moment, and said, "Eric, I think the last time you worked with Sony Pictures on the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was very good, and that Xiangjiang director seems to be called ......."

"John Wu," Brigitte Fonda said next to her.

Cage nodded: "Yes, it's John Wu, I really like his style of film, that kind of action design is really cool, Eric, do you think there is a possibility of cooperation between me and him?"

Eric's expression was a little strange, and he secretly wondered if this was the inertia of history?

"John has been working on another film recently, but he signed a contract with us for a total of three films, and one more next year, so if you're interested, I've got a script for you. ”

Because the script of "Changing Face" did not have any eyebrows, Eric did not tell Cage the specific plot, and the two sides made a preliminary agreement. Seeing Cage get the script, Brigitte Fonda was of course not to be outdone, but for the actress who was always on the second line in this original time and space, Eric couldn't think of any suitable script for a while, so he could only tactfully say that there would be a suitable movie in the future.

Nicolas Cage and Brigitte Fonda were not idle people, and after talking to Eric, the two left the party in a hurry.

Emily had a big party at the party, and at this time she also came to Eric with a glass of champagne.

"Emily, where's Eva?" asked Eric, looking around.

"They're taking a photoshoot, they're going to use it in the magazine tomorrow, it's going to be late," Emily explained, and then gave Eric a roll of her eyes: "She's Joan's sister, don't beat these bad thoughts." ”

“……”

Eric could only roll his eyes speechlessly and change the subject: "Didn't you talk to Anna Wintour before, why would she want to invite me to an interview with Vogue, a fashion magazine?"

"If Anna Wintour hadn't even known how to take advantage of such an opportunity, do you think she would have become the editor-in-chief of Vogue before she was thirty? and, since Anna Wintour became editor-in-chief of Vogue, she has been emulating the way Tina Brown thought when she ran Vanity Fair. ”

Hearing Emily say the name of "Vanity Fair", Eric also understood, "Vanity Fair" focuses on the private life of high-society stars and rich people, and since "Vogue" is imitating "Vanity Fair", it is not too strange to invite himself.

Seeing Emily take a sip of champagne and moisten her throat, Eric smiled, "I've done everything I need to do tonight, what do you think of the effect?"

"Of course, that's great, Eric, thank you," Emily immediately became excited: "With the news materials accumulated tonight, in the future, the brand of Brighten Clothing Company will immediately spread all over the United States, do you remember the merchandising director of Marks & Spencer in the UK before the show started?"

Eric nodded, remembering the image of a bearded middle-aged man.

"I've been talking to him for a long time, and he hasn't been relenting, but seeing you on the scene, and Nicolas Cage and others, he just promised me a $5 million order, and although many buyers are still considering it, the order reached tonight alone has more than doubled last year. Eric, I'm going to invest in 20 more stores in major cities, do you think it's okay?"

"I don't know much about this, you can arrange it yourself. ”

Emily blinked, "I mean, with an investment of $500,000 per store, it would cost about $10 million." ”

$10 million is not much, but Brighton Decoration can't even come up with $10 million.

Noticing Eric's doubts, Emily took the initiative to say: "You guessed right, the company has no money, just this show, I spent more than $5 million before and after." (To be continued......)
