Women are always very capable of tossing, especially beautiful women.

With Eric's permission, Cindy Crawford and the girls walked into the dressing room behind them, changed into bikinis with a sense of surname, and the red wine, drinks, and snacks in the villa were also collected on the terrace one after another, and the women even moved out the stereo in the living room, and with the sound of music, it was like a mini party on the terrace.

In Los Angeles at the end of March, the temperature barely rose to about 20 degrees, which is not a good time for swimming, but the temperature is never a problem for women who love beauty.

Eric lazily leaned on the lounger by the pool, looking at the five beautiful beauties playing in the pool, but also enjoyed it very much.

After a while, Linda Ivan Gorinsta swam to Eric's side first, leaned out and lay on the edge of the pool, looked at Eric who was still wearing that shirt and trousers, and said, "Eric, why don't you come along?"

Eric looked at the delicate face that was slightly neutral because of the short haircut, and smiled, "Do you have goldfish at home?"

Linda Ivan Gorinsta slammed her chin on her smooth arm, widened her eyes and shook her head in confusion: "I don't have one at home, but Christie likes to raise it." ”

Eric lifted a few of the big beauties in the pool, smiled a little badly, and said, "What do you think will happen if you put a shark in a goldfish bowl?"

Noticing Linda Ivangelinsta's movements, the other four women also swam over, but they all lined up by the pool in the same way as Linda Ivangelinsta, just in time to hear Eric's words, and in the midst of the coquettish laughter, Cindy Crawford showed a provocative or teasing look: "Mr. Shark, you can come down and try to see if you can eat us." ”

Eric hadn't expected her to be so bold. The hint is all too obvious.

However, after calculating the time, Eric shook his head and said, "Not now, I have a guest at ten o'clock." ”

Cindy Crawford was a little confused, and Diane Kruger, who happened to be next to Eric last night, said, "That's the one." Alan Hasenfield?"

"Yes, it's him," Eric nodded, however, the copyright of Transformers was very involved, and Eric didn't want to discuss it too much, so he took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Aren't you going to attend the Oscars the day after tomorrow, how are you preparing?"

The women realized that Eric meant to change the subject, and they were smart not to ask. Linda Ivan Gorinsta said: "I was ready for a long time, heh, I didn't think that one day I would be on the Oscar stage." ”

After chatting like this, seeing that Eric had no intention of going into the water, the women also came out of the pool one after another.

Eric admired the perfect body in front of him that made the men's blood spurt, and thoughtfully picked up the bath towels next to them and handed them to each other.

Drying off, a few chaise longues lined up in two sheets on Eric, the warm sun shining on him as it approached ten o'clock. It was very comfortable, and the women soon showed a lazy appearance. It's like a cat that enjoys the owner's petting.

Eric walked over to the stereo and changed to soothing music, walked back to his chair and lay down, and asked, "What are you all going to do after the Oscars?"

"I do whatever the agency says, but until September, most of the time is idle. Linda Ivan Golinsta, who was lying on Eric's left-hand side, said: "September is going to start to be busy, and the four major fashion weeks that need to fly around, as well as the Victoria's Secret show, will be busy until November, and then I will be idle again." Until the autumn/winter fashion week in February and March next year. ”

Cindy Crawford couldn't grab a spot next to Eric, and across Linda Ivan Golinsta, holding her curvy body, she probed her brain and said, "Eric, do you have any jobs to introduce to us?"

In order to maintain the popularity of Victoria's Secret Angels, in addition to the Victoria's Secret show, Firefly Group has also been providing them with media exposure opportunities uninterruptedly, which is also the main reason why the identity of Victoria's Secret Angels has been snatched by the modeling circle. However, these opportunities do not necessarily add up to the opportunities provided by Eric himself. So, realizing some of the meaning of Eric's words, Cindy Crawford couldn't wait to ask.

Eric replied that he did not disappoint them, and said, "Yes, I was already thinking about it when I was preparing for the Victoria's Secret show last year. To put it simply, this is a model election reality show, where the contestants compete for a well-paid Victoria's Secret Angel contract through various links. ”

Diane Kruger, to Eric's right, said, "Sounds like it's like a modeling contest run by an agency?"

"Of course it's different," Eric shook his head, "The show I want to create is not a competition in nature, but a reality show, and since it's a show, I want to choose what the audience is interested in and show them." My plan is to choose a supermodel with more qualifications in the circle as the host, invite some well-known celebrities in the fashion industry to be the judges, set up a variety of interesting but professional levels in each episode, and finally choose one of the players from a group of contestants as the champion through a very tense and exciting elimination mode, and get the final reward contract. ”

After Eric finished speaking, Tyra Banks suddenly said, "Eric, you mean, like Survivor?"

Eric glanced at Tyra Banks with interest, nodded and smiled, "Yes, just like "Survivor"," looking at the several pairs of beautiful eyes around him who were eager almost at the same time, Eric immediately poured some cold water on them, and said, "However, this is a professional reality show after all, and the ratings will definitely not be comparable to "Survivor". ”

Christy Durrington asked, "So, Eric, what do you think of this ...... What will be the ratings for the reality show?"

Eric shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee that no one can accurately predict the ratings of a show before it is officially broadcast." ”

Cindy Crawford also asked, "Will it be on ABC?"

Eric shook his head and said, "No, any TV show has a fixed audience, and most of the programs broadcast on ABC are aimed at audiences of all ages. And this file...... For the time being, it's called "American Top Model Contest", and the audience of "American Top Model Contest" is mainly for young audiences between the ages of 16 and 28, especially female audiences who are very interested in fashion, so. Once the production is complete, Firefly sells the show to UPN, WB, MTV, and other TV stations where young viewers gather. ”

The broadcast station of "America's Top Model Contest" in the previous life was CW, which was actually established after the merger of two public television stations, Paramount's UPN and Time Warner's WB. It's just that even if history doesn't change, it should be ten years from now.

Cindy Crawford hosted a fashion show "Fashion House" on MTV a few years ago, but she knows the situation of these stations. Although the ratings of these TV stations are generally not high, because the audience is very concentrated, it is convenient for advertisers to place ads to specific targets, so their popular TV programs are also very profitable.

If "America's Top Model Contest" can become a "survivor"-level reality show on these niche TV stations, then this show can definitely cause a sensation, and if it can win the position of host, it will not only get a good pay. More importantly, through the exposure of this reality show, her status as the first sister in the circle can be further enhanced.

Therefore, remembering that Eric had just said that he would choose a supermodel with deep seniority in the circle as the host, Cindy Crawford's eyes couldn't help but flicker, and she couldn't help but be a little vigilant when she looked at Linda Ivan Golinsta beside her.

If you want to say that the oldest qualified person in the supermodel circle, it is undoubtedly Linda Ivan Gorinsta. She is arguably the first supermodel recognized in the fashion industry, and Christy Durrington is qualified. It also seems to be a little deeper than her. Although Tyra Banks and Diane Kruger don't seem to be very competitive on the surface, no one knows if Eric will come up with some other ideas, after all, if he has to choose Tyra Banks or Diane Kruger as the host, no one can stop him.

Cindy Crawford's mind was like this, and the expressions of the other girls also changed slightly.

Eric didn't feel the change in the minds of the girls around him. In a moment's interest, he continued to take care of himself: "Although "American Supermodel Competition" cannot be compared with public television network reality shows such as "Survivor" and "Who Will Be a Millionaire" in terms of ratings, its production cost is also very low, and the main cost is actually the appearance fee of the host and guests. The requirements for the shooting location are also not high. I probably thought that as long as I could gain a foothold in the TV station, it would be easy to make a profit through the distribution of broadcast rights, videotapes, and overseas rights. Moreover, this kind of low-cost reality show also has a very big benefit, that is, as long as there is a market, it can be produced forever, and there is no problem with ten, twenty, or even thirty seasons. ”

When the five women heard Eric's words, their little hearts pounded almost at the same time.

The short professional life of models has always been the biggest problem plaguing their group, and usually, once they are over the age of 30, even if they are still beautiful, they will gradually be replaced by a new generation. If you can get such a host position for a longevity reality show that can produce dozens of seasons, it is almost equivalent to getting an iron rice bowl. Even if the remuneration of this show is not so high, as long as they can maintain their fame through it, they can still get a steady stream of income through other channels.

Eric picked up the juice next to him and took a few sips, and was about to continue speaking, when the intercom on the wall beeped a few times, and it turned out to be Alan Husenfeld who had arrived.

Eric said a few words into the intercom, turned to the girls in the recliner and said, "Go on, I'll go meet the guests." “

Cindy Crawford snapped, "Eric, do you need my help entertaining you?"

"Oh, no," Eric refused, shaking his head.

The women knew just now that Eric didn't want them to know too much about Transformers, but they didn't force it.

However, after Eric pushed open the glass door not far away and left, the atmosphere on the terrace suddenly cooled down significantly.

The five pairs of eyes casually looked at each other, and they could clearly see a faint hostility in each other's eyes. There must only be one host of "America's Top Model Contest". The reason why the women were able to maintain a harmonious state of pseudo-girlfriends was mainly because of their current status as the spokesperson of Victoria's Secret.

But if the position of the host of "America's Top Model" falls to any of them, that delicate balance is about to be upset almost immediately.

Alan Hassenfeld parked his car in front of the Liberty City villa, and after getting out of the car, he couldn't help but look at everything around him, especially the Liberty City in front of him, which was frequently ridiculed by the media as an alien flying chess because of last year's "Men in Black", with envy in his eyes.

Although Hasbro has a market capitalization of $2 billion, after more than half a century, Hasbro, like many long-established companies, has become a mass-owned company. Although the Halsenfield family still controls the toy company, it is no longer the largest shareholder, and the family wealth is only five or six hundred million US dollars, and Alan Husenfeld's personal net worth is less than 100 million US dollars.

Perhaps, it is precisely this disparity in wealth that makes Alan Hassenfeld's heart unconsciously weaken. It seems that the next negotiations on the copyright of Transformers are also apprehensive.

The door of the villa opened not far away, and Alan Husenfeld saw Eric walk out and hurriedly greeted him.

The two said hello, and Eric led him into the villa and straight to the study.

Sitting down on the couch, Alan Husenfeld saw Eric himself walking to the side to make coffee, and said, "Eric, why don't you let the maid do these things?"

"Heh, I prefer to be quiet, and I'm not used to people dangling in front of me. So they will generally be outside and will not come in on their own initiative. ”

Everyone has their own unique personal preferences, and Ellen Husenfeld nodded slightly when Eric said this, and didn't ask anything more.

After brewing coffee and pouring a cup for each of them, Eric sat down on the sofa and said, "So, Alan, I think it's better for us to be more direct, about Transformers, what are the final terms of cooperation with Hasbro?"

"Greh......" Alan Husenfield was stunned, put down the coffee cup in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Eric, about what you said last night, I want to ask first, if the Transformers are handed over to the Fireflies, when will you be able to officially turn on?" (To be continued.) )
