Chapter 734

On a yacht on the banks of the Hudson River in New York, the crew of "America's Top Model Contest" is filming the latest episode.

Eric was casually dressed on the periphery of the set, wearing sunglasses, and was followed by Linda? Ivan Gorinsta, two people in front, Cindy? Crawford was briefing the remaining six contestants on the rules of the next competition.

After finishing his business in Boston, Eric arrived in New York three days earlier to spend the weekend with the women and children on Long Island, and made his way to Manhattan.

After a month and a half, "America's Top Model" and "Flyover" are halfway through the filming of "America's Top Model" and "Flyover" are expected to be roughly completed in September, Eric spent a day yesterday checking the production results of the two reality shows.

Because she has memories of her past life as a reference, Cindy has been a TV host for several years, and has enough experience in TV production, so the first two episodes of "America's Top Model Competition" that have been edited make Eric very satisfied.

But "The Pride of the Bridge" is a little unsatisfactory, although Linda is also working hard, but she does not have as much experience as Cindy after all, "The American Supermodel Competition" has already edited two episodes of the sample, but "The Pride of the Bridge" only has one episode of very unsatisfactory semi-finished products.

Since "The Pride of the Bridge" in his previous life followed the trend of "American Supermodel Contest", Eric simply pulled Linda over to learn from it.

Obviously, during Eric's absence, there was not much full communication between the two girls, and Eric also knew that it was impossible to want two equally proud and beautiful women to work together, and the same sex was repulsive.

"There's no way I'm going to think of Cindy like this," looking at Cindy in the field? Crawford. Linda leaned over Eric and said, "The audience is very interested in various details such as model training, photo shoots, and even life, but for fashion designers, this interest is much lower, and it is unlikely that Cindy will edit a dailies." ”

Eric laughed, "I didn't ask you to come over and copy Cindy's idea, I just asked you to come over and see how she used the material to catch the audience's attention." "The Pride of the Bridge" definitely has its own concerns that can be explored. ”

Linda asked curiously, "What's that?" ”

Eric didn't expect her to figure it out, either. Looking at Cindy, who was walking over after the explanation, she said, "I've thought about it, we can work on the rhythm, and since the audience feels that the fashion designer is a little far away from their lives, then it's better to bring this distance closer." ”

Cindy, who walked out of the filming set, took a bottle of water from the staff, took a sip, and just heard Eric's words, and asked, "Eric, how are you going to bring the audience closer?" ”

Eric laughed, "Guess what. ”

Cindy shrugged. There is no guesswork. Linda complained to Eric dissatisfied: "Eric, Cindy is so hateful. When I was filming last week, I just had some minor problems and called her to ask her, but she didn't mean to help in the slightest and laughed at me. Also, she didn't want to cooperate with my idea of doing crosssets. ”

Cindy immediately retorted, "Hey. Linda, I have my own job. And. I'm not your mother, so I'm not obligated to help you with everything. ”

"Alright, don't be noisy," Eric said with a wave of his hand and the old man of peace, "The idea of crosssets is good, but you don't need to use it in such a hurry." Wait until the second season. Or the third season, which can be launched as a gimmick when the time comes. Filling in all the good ideas into the show at once, although it will get good results, but without the step-by-step, the audience will not be interested in watching the last few seasons. ”

Cindy nodded. snorted proudly twice and glanced at Linda: "Well, hum, I just don't know if there is a second or third season of "The Pride of the Bridge". ”

Linda grabbed Eric's arm: "Eric said that there will be a second season and a third season, so there must be, do you have an opinion?" ”

"I'm okay with that." Cindy smiled like a fox, she didn't believe that if the ratings of "The Pride of the Bridge" were not satisfactory, Eric would continue to make it.

Linda was also obviously aware of this, shook Eric's arm, and said, "Eric, what did you just say about the way to get closer to the audience?" ”

Eric recalls the sample film he watched yesterday and said: "Judging from yesterday's sample, it feels like the pace is still a bit slow, mainly because the process of making the costume can seem very boring, but we can't cut the shots, otherwise the whole competition process will be incomplete." So, I think I could add a lot of narration. On the one hand, this method can give the impression of a faster pace, and on the other hand, it can also provide more annotations for the audience to understand why the contestants are making certain moves. Well, that's it, tomorrow you have a meeting with the production team to discuss it, and I'll be over then. ”

"Okay," Linda nodded, glancing demonstratively at Cindy.

Cindy pursed her lips, looked at the contestants who were taking pictures in the arena, and asked, "Eric, what about my show?" ”

"Well, you're perfect here, you can just make it at this pace, and you don't need to modify it."

Cindy was stunned, not too excited by Eric's appreciation, but a little lost.

Linda smirked twice and grimaced at Cindy while Eric wasn't looking.

Cindy did her job too well, and she lost a lot of opportunities to spend time with Eric, and she was a little apprehensive that she wasn't doing well enough, but now she was proud.

Eric withdrew his gaze to the filming location, just in time to notice the two women interacting with each other with strange expressions, and asked, "What's wrong with you two?" ”

Linda immediately shook her head and said, "No, Eric, why don't we go back now, I don't think there's any need to waste time here, maybe we can try the method you just said in the afternoon." ”

You Bichi.

Cindy scolded in her heart, seeing that Eric really meant to leave, but with a resentful expression on her face, she pulled Eric's sleeve: "Eric, it's almost noon, I've done such a good job." You can't even have a reward for a meal, right? ”

"Iric, I'll tell you a secret, Cindy's expression is ...... Ah, pinch me again, do you think I don't dare to fight back? ”

Eric separated the two women and said, "Alright." Don't make a fuss, so many people yet. ”

Noticing that the crew and even the contestants who were taking pictures in the venue looked at it curiously, the two 'cats' who almost scratched immediately returned to their cold goddess style.

Cindy straightened her thick wavy curls and said to Eric, "Eric, let's wait for dinner." I just happened to have a guest, and she is also a big beauty, and she will be a special guest in this issue. ”

"You've made an appointment, and you're still ......," Linda was just halfway through her sentence when she felt Cindy's threatening look. I had to give up.

Eric reached out to stop Linda's waist, patted her gently, motioned for her to stop making trouble, and nodded to Cindy, "Okay, but you have to tell me who you asked out first, right?" ”

"Elizabeth? Hurley," Cindy spat out a name, seeing that Eric's expression didn't change much. "Eric, don't you know her?" ”

"Yes." Eric nodded.

Elizabeth? Hurley, a famous British supermodel, is also an actress, but in Eric's memory, she is most familiar with the series of lace news. He didn't even quite understand Elizabeth? What is the trajectory of Hurley's love history, judging from the information in his mind, Eric always feels as if the British supermodel is dating many men at the same time. Moreover, the British supermodel's personality seems to be very similar to that of a certain actress in Hong Kong, who always wants sugar daddy money ********. The difference is, Elizabeth? Hurley was more 'lucky' and finally really fell in love with a rich Indian man, but the Hong Kong actress was different.

Does Eric remember Elizabeth? Hurley should be British actor Hugh now? Grant's girlfriend.

In Hugh? After Grant became popular with "Four Weddings and a Funeral", he also developed well in Hollywood with his boyfriend's fame. Like, according to the historical trajectory, Hugh? Grant will have a trick scandal this year, and his reputation will plummet, but Eric doesn't remember the specific date, this year is already July, this incident has not happened, it seems that it should be the result of the butterfly effect, Eric's influence in Hollywood has changed too many things.

Thinking so, Eric asked Cindy, "I'm just curious, how did you invite her to be a guest?" ”

Cindy explained: "I met at the Chanel party last month, and we had a good conversation, and she heard that I was doing this show now, so she wanted to come over and be a guest judge on an episode, and she wanted to enter Hollywood in the past two years, but it wasn't too smooth, so she wanted to use this opportunity to increase her exposure, and everyone was a win-win." ”

There is always no shortage of parties in this circle, and after so many years of rebirth, Eric has not yet integrated into this culture, but he is also accustomed to it.

After spending more than an hour on the set of "America's Top Model Contest", Cindy took Eric and Linda to a quieter restaurant in a building on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, with very private privacy and a separate cubicle, and a membership card required.

As soon as the three of them sat down, a tall woman in a long black dress walked over.

"Hi, Liz," Cindy got up and greeted Elizabeth? Hurley hugged him, then apologized, "I'm sorry, Liz, I brought two friends with me without being able to communicate with you." ”

The two girls talked, but Eric already felt Elizabeth? Hurley's eyes were fixed on his face, and even flashed with an inexplicable light.

"Introduction, this is Eric? Williams, oh, this is Linda, you must know it," Cindy deliberately reached out and shook it in front of Linda, and walked it lightly, making Linda feel depressed.

"Hello, Mr. Williams," Elizabeth? Hurley's eyes were still undisguised, and with a decent smile on his face, he reached out to Eric.

"Just call me Eric," Eric shook lightly with the other party, just a simple contact, and felt the other party's fingers gently scratch in his palm, thinking that this woman was really bold enough.

Say hello and sit down at the table, Elizabeth? Hurley asked unabashedly, "Eric, are you here for the American Top Model Contest?" ”

"yes," Eric nodded, taking the menu from the waiter's hand and flipping through it.

Elizabeth? Hurley also realized that he was a little eager, and gracefully flipped through the menu in his hand, ordered, and waited for the waiter to leave, then continued: "I thought Eric you should be in Boston by now, I heard that it has been very lively there in the past few days, by the way, I also opened a personal homepage on Yahoo, but I don't know how to use it." ”

Eric said perfunctorily, "Oh, this should be simple, just think about it a little and you'll understand." ”

In less than a week, the number of users has exceeded 7 million, and it is still increasing rapidly. With Eric's influence in Hollywood, many celebrities have also taken advantage of the situation to open personal homepages, which has increased the attractiveness of Yahoo's personal homepage. Because the era of mobile Internet is still far away, Yahoo's personal homepage is dominated by long-form blogs, and the meager focus on immediacy is far from the time. However, Eric has specifically explained to the relevant departments of Yahoo's personal homepage to increase its related social functions.

At the mention of this topic, Cindy's eyes next to her also lit up. She was thinking of a photo she had seen in the New York Times the other day, Eric with Jeffrey of the Firefly Group? Katzenberg, Nokia's Yoma? Ollila, Cisco's John? Chambers, AOL's Steve? A group photo of Keith and others. All the people in the photo are centered on Eric's personal center, equipped with the manuscript, the reporter of the "New York Times" predicts that with the rapid development of a series of enterprises, Eric's personal wealth this year may even increase by more than 50 percent, and at the beginning of this year, Forbes magazine has assessed Eric's personal assets at 46.5 billion US dollars, an increase of 50%, then, next year, Eric's personal net worth is likely to skyrocket to a terrifying figure of 70 billion US dollars, what is the concept of 70 billion US dollars, you know, With Microsoft's stock price skyrocketing, Bill Gates is worth just $12.9 billion. Eric's assets alone are almost as much as everyone else in the top 10 of the Forbes rich list combined. (To be continued.) )
