Chapter 757 I can only sit in the aisle
There are only twenty minutes left before the start of the show, and the backstage of the show is busy at this time, the staff who perform their duties are making the final confirmation through headphones, and the Victoria's Secret Angels of the first theme have begun to wait, Eric has just walked into the backstage, Emily, Edward Lazek and Michael Bay and others have greeted him, and the surrounding Victoria's Secret Angels also greeted Eric warmly.
Seeing that everyone looked like they were going to surround themselves, Eric hurriedly waved his hand and stopped: "You guys continue to be busy, if there is anything to talk about at the next party." ”
Everyone has a lot of things in their hands, and the reason why they came together is because Eric's identity is too special and he has to come forward to greet him. Hearing Eric say this, Edward Lazek and Michael Bay nodded and said hello, and then returned to their jobs, except for Emily.
Eric's eyes swept around the arena, and when he saw five young men in their early twenties who were about to take the stage not far away, he asked Emily beside him, "Are they the backstreet boys?"
After it was decided that Firefly Records would take the Teen-pop route, the company dug up the JIVE Records team that had created teen pop idols such as Backstreet Boys, Superboys, and Britney Spears in the original time and space, and it was very coincidental that Barry Weiss, CEO of JIVE Records, who had jumped from Sony Records, and others brought a group of newcomers they had just been looking for, including the Backstreet Boys group who had introduced Teen-pop to the world in their previous lives.
Emily followed Eric's gaze and nodded, "yes, since the release of the single in September, these young people have been on the rise very well, and tonight is also a new song." Well, I don't know the specifics, Barry Weiss should be in the front hall, you can call him if you have any questions. ”
Eric shook his head and smiled, "No, just ask, I don't want to talk about any work today." ”
Emily smiled and pointed to the makeup area full of Victoria's Secret Angels, and said, "In that case, then you can do it yourself, I also have a lot of things to do, nay, your babies are over there, but don't mess around until the show is over." ”
Eric feigned displeasure and said, "Are you doubting my professionalism?"
"Of course not," Emily said, shaking her head with a smile on her face, "I'm doubting your character." ”
Eric shrugged speechlessly: "Okay, I'll surrender, it seems that I'd better go straight to the front hall." ”
Emily was about to leave when she said, "But I didn't leave you a place." ”
"Ah, that's too much, isn't it?"
"You said on the phone last time you might be too busy," Emily said after a moment's thought, "but you can sit on the steps of the aisle." ”
“……”
"That's it," Emily nodded to herself, pleased with her quickness, "Speaking of which, no one else is allowed to sit on the aisle steps, and you have a special status, so you just enjoy this special treatment." ”
After Emily finished speaking, she heard a voice coming from the walkie-talkie in her hand, and hurriedly said a few words into the microphone, then waved her hand at Eric, and left in a hurry.
Eric wasn't a showy person, and it was strange to think about himself sitting abruptly on the aisle steps.
I thought in my heart that it would be nice to have a companion, and the two of them would not be too conspicuous when sitting on the steps of the aisle.
Unfortunately, he came here alone today, Drew and Amy Pascal returned to Los Angeles after completing negotiations with Morgan Stanley to adjust the stock pricing a few days ago, and Chris was supposed to attend as Emily's boyfriend, but unfortunately he flew to San Francisco the day before yesterday, and there were some problems with the funding of the R&D center in charge of MP3 players and e-book readers, which needed him to come forward to solve. Virginia and Joanna would certainly not accompany him to such an occasion.
Thinking boredly, Eric walked towards the makeup area, as a special spokesperson, Linda five always have some special treatment, the five of them occupied a row of makeup tables, at this time only Linda, Tyra Banks and Diane Kruger sat here, the opening of this session was replaced by Cindy Crawford, Christie Durrington will go to the end, and the two of them have already begun to wait.
"Hey, babes, you're so beautiful tonight," Eric greeted, carefully hugging the three of them and nodding to the Victoria's Secret angels who were looking around.
It took four hours for the woman's makeup to be made, and the trembling look at the makeup artist next to her could tell how worried Eric was about accidentally ruining the three women's makeup.
Seeing Eric sitting down in the vacant seat next to Diane Kruger, Linda played with the eyebrow pencil in her hand and asked curiously, "Eric, I asked Emily, and she said you won't come over tonight?"
"I thought it would be a shame if I couldn't watch the show for the first time, so I rushed over," Eric replied with a smile, admiring Diane Kruger's delicate little face against the backdrop of blonde hair, and asked, "How did it feel to be filming?"
Diane Kruger nodded and whispered, "I didn't act very well, but Director Finch is a very patient person, and everyone takes good care of me." ”
At the beginning, Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't look down on the small role in "The Seven Deadly Sins", so Eric gave the heroine to Diane Kruger, at this time "The Seven Deadly Sins" had already been completed and was in the process of post-production, and the Firefly had set the schedule for next year's Easter.
Eric said: "After that, find more roles to exercise, your temperament is more suitable for professional women, so don't be too anxious to develop into the film industry, it's not too late to wait until after the age of 25." ”
"Well, I listen to you," Diane Kruger nodded submissively.
Linda, who was on the other side, heard the conversation between the two and said with a smile: "Eric, what kind of female role do you think my temperament is more suitable for?"
"Your temperament is more suitable for staying in the modeling circle honestly, and at most you will make a cameo appearance as a reality TV host or something. ”
"You are jealous, but some people used to say that I have the temperament of a Hollywood Golden Age actress. ”
"Yes, yes, it's a pity that the golden age has passed, and it's gone forever. ”
"Hmph. ”
As they chatted endlessly, the music at the front desk suddenly sounded, and Eric could tell that it was waiting music, and looked at his watch, there were still ten minutes before the official start.
As the music played, a staff member hurried over and said, "Miss Kruger, Miss Banksy, it's almost time, it's time to change." ”
The two women nodded and stood up.
Linda was the only one left in a row of dressing tables, and the woman was obviously a little excited, sat down closer to Eric, and asked in a low voice: "Eric, I bought an apartment in Greenwich Village, the real estate agent said that it was left by an artist, it is very beautiful, do you want to come and have a look tonight?"
Eric jokes, "I actually prefer a simple, modern house, and I probably don't like an artist's residence." ”
Linda patted Eric on the arm in dissatisfaction and said, "Then you can't come, if you don't come, ......"
Eric's eyes narrowed, "Oh, what are you going to do?"
"I, I'm going to invite Cindy home tonight. ”
"Okay, just send me a cassette tomorrow, I like the little Lace movie. ”
Linda tugged at Eric's sleeve in dissatisfaction: "If you don't come, forget it if you don't come." ”
"Oh, alright," Eric nodded down with a small hint of Linda.
"Then it's decided, you won't be dating any other woman tonight. ”
"Well, I promise. ”
As he was talking, the waiting music at the front desk stopped, and it seemed that the official performance was about to start, Linda looked at Eric, who was sitting indifferent, and said, "Aren't you going to the front?"
"Here's the way it went, well, Emily didn't leave me a seat. ”
"Ahh ”
With a smile on his lips, Eric said, "It's okay, I can find time to watch it in private." ”
"Hmph, scoundrel, you must be thinking of something bad. ”
After briefly touching up her makeup, the staff began to summon, and Linda also got up and walked towards the changing room.
By this time, the music in the front desk had already sounded, and Eric listened intently to some familiar voices and tunes. The five-person backstreet boys are not very good-looking, but their voices are all magnetic voices that little girls like very much.
On the dressing table, in addition to a variety of toiletries, there are also boxes containing fruit salad or chocolate. For tonight's big show, the Victoria's Secret Angels have to go through physical training for more than two months, and they have been on a diet in recent days. Not to mention some angel wings that weigh more than ten pounds at every turn, the long-term excitement at the show scene is also very physically demanding, so since last year, Eric has let the angels prepare these small snacks, and this year is still the same.
Picking up a chocolate chip and throwing it into his mouth, Eric was considering whether he could find a spot at the photographer's venue at the end of the runway to watch the live performance, when the faint scent came and a woman in a special pink nightgown made by Victoria's Secret Angels sat down next to Eric.
"Hi Eric. ”
Eric turned his head, recalled, and smiled and held out his hand to the woman, "Hi Stephanie, you're beautiful tonight." ”
The woman in front of him was Stephanie Seymour, who had accidentally replaced Heidi Crum last year, and Eric remembered that this woman should now be married to publishing tycoon Peter Grant, but he didn't expect her to still participate in the Victoria's Secret show this year.
"Thank you for the compliment, Eric," Stephanie Seymour smiled and nodded, looking at Eric with a rolling eye.
Eric was a little uncomfortable with a woman's eyes, which should normally be a man's look at a woman.
"How is Peter, sorry I couldn't attend your wedding. ”
Stephanie Seymour said, "He's at the front desk, we're fine." ”
"Oh, then," Eric said, looking around, "Everyone's already getting ready?"
"Yes," Stephanie Seymour said with a little more unwillingness in her expression, "However, I will only appear on the last theme, so there is no need to rush." ”
From the woman's expression, Eric could probably guess something.
As a publishing tycoon, Peter Grant is worth more than a billion, and given his age, his conservative personality is almost certain, it is difficult for such a man not to have a problem with his wife's participation in this kind of internal show. Come to think of it, Stephanie Seymour can only participate in one theme catwalk tonight, which should also be the result of her compromise with Peter Grant.
Thinking boredly, Eric found that he and Stephanie Seymour had nothing to talk about, this is not only a * wife, but also a very strong woman, Eric still remembers that Stephanie Seymour once pulled a group of ex-girlfriends who were the lead singer of the Guns Rose, suing the other party for the loss of youth money, this kind of woman Eric does not want to provoke, and does not have that energy.
Seeing that Stephanie Seymour didn't seem to want to leave, Eric pushed the box containing chocolate chips in front of him to the other party and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
"Thank you," Stephanie Seymour gracefully twisted a chocolate chip into her mouth and sucked it slowly, with a faint look in her eyes.
As a person who has both the heart and the courage of a thief, Eric couldn't help but look around with a thief's heart when he saw such a gesture of a woman, most of them were busy, and no one seemed to notice what was happening here. Still, from a makeup artist who immediately lowered his head and pretended to look for something when he saw Eric looking over, Eric knew that a lot of people were watching them.
Eric didn't want any messy rumors to spread, and said, "Okay, Stephanie, I think you better go and prepare in advance, well, even if it's only one topic, you should still pay attention to it." ”
"Don't worry, Eric, I won't mess up," Stephanie Seymour said, swallowing the chocolate chips in her mouth, "That's right, Eric, I'm going to have a family party with Peter tomorrow, I wonder if I can invite you to it?"
Eric shook his head, "I'm sorry, Stephanie, I'm going back to Los Angeles tomorrow." ”
"Oh, that's a pity," Stephanie Seymour said with a look of regret on her face, thinking about it, she knew that it would be difficult for her to find another opportunity, even if it was an after-party in an hour, Eric would definitely be surrounded by all kinds of people.
After sorting out the wording a bit, Stephanie Seymour said, "That's right, Eric, I heard that Lifetime TV is preparing a TV series, which is said to be the fourth heroine, do you think there is a role that suits me?" )
