Chapter 1152: Bump

The next day it rained. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Manhattan immersed in the rain looks obviously a little more time-soaked in the times.

Carmen Cays parked her car in front of the building at the entrance to Sixth Avenue, stepped into the rain with her high boots, and stood on the side of the road and looked at the gray sky with her petite face raised before entering the high-rise apartment in front of her.

Taking the private elevator to Eric's penthouse, he thought he was the only one, but when he entered the door, he found that there were three other women in the apartment, and they were Gisele Bundchen, Alexandre Ambrosio, and another baby-faced girl who was not familiar with him.

I wanted to turn around and leave, but when I heard him open the door in person, he asked with concern, 'Why didn't you have an umbrella?', so he followed, and sat down on the stool for changing shoes, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the three girls in the living room who also looked surprised.

He didn't speak, pursed the corners of his lips, and twisted his fingers in the zipper style of his high boots, until he came back with a towel, he sobered up a little, subconsciously took the towel, and gently wiped it on his face that was no longer wet.

Block your eyes so you can't see the outside world.

Feeling the zipper of her boots being unzipped off, she stiffened for a moment, but she lifted her calves cooperatively, allowing the man to help her remove the high boots on her feet, and there was still a sound in her ears telling her not to wear such thick boots in the summer.

That familiar feeling suddenly came back to me.

Hum gently.

Tears suddenly fell from the corners of his eyes.

Hurriedly wiped it off secretly.

How can it be so unproductive.

So he forced himself to take the towel away and smiled at him in front of him, but he didn't know what to say.

"Giselle, they just came over," Eric took the initiative to explain, got up and pulled her to her feet, and said, "I know you don't get along well, well, give me a face, at least not to fight." ”

In other words, they came on their own initiative, and they received his call.

I suddenly felt a little sense of superiority in my heart.

He was no longer so resentful of him.

After all, he didn't mean to.

Sitting down on the couch, he asked a few questions, and then turned to the kitchen to make coffee.

I wanted to get up and follow the past, but looking at the three figures by the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, it would definitely make me look like a child who likes to rely on adults, so I held back and didn't move.

Eric walked into the kitchen, and the three girls looked at each other a few times, and Giselle walked over first and held out his hand to her: "Well, let's reconcile." ”

Unexpectedly, it would be this sentence, her tense body softened, remembering what he had just said, she didn't want him to think that she was a cautious girl, so she reached out and shook Giselle, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Okay." ”

Giselle shook hands with Carmen Keys, and then naturally sat down next to her, and said, "I was too angry last time, your company used me to hype, you must feel very uncomfortable in this kind of thing, right?" However, brokerage companies are actually like this, and they don't care about our feelings at all. ”

After so many years of being alone, she is naturally a very sociable person.

However, there is still no way to convince himself to have a good relationship with his other women, so he can only respond at will.

After a few words, Giselle glanced in the direction of the kitchen and continued, "Eric is actually a very nice guy. ”

Thinking of everything since they met, she nodded lightly: "Yes." ”

"A lot of people out there always think he's too strong, but he's not," Gisele added: "The last time I saw him interviewed on "The Oprah Show", I was so moved that I cried, he has always been a very considerate man for women, and he is not at all like those rich people, who completely deny it when he gives birth to a child with a woman. ”

Of course, she also watched that episode of "The Oprah Show", and at that time she almost had a similar feeling to Giselle, but listening to him talk about his three children, her heart was inevitably empty.

During this time, occasionally I even think about leaving.

I always look forward to having a complete relationship in my life.

At this time, when she heard Giselle mention it, the feeling in her heart a few days ago resurfaced, and her eyes were a little dim.

Giselle seemed unaware of this, but there was a little more loss in his tone, and said, "Actually, Eric often tells us that if we are not happy, we can leave him. He has never been a man who likes to force women. However, it was too difficult to really make up this decision, so I stayed by his side. You don't know, when we first met him, Al and I were only fourteen or fifteen years old, like two little chicks who didn't understand anything, and so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. ”

After saying this, Giselle glanced at the expression of the girl next to him, and immediately stopped when he saw it, and glanced at Alexander and Miranda, who were listening attentively next to him, and saw Eric coming out of the kitchen with a pot of coffee, and quickly got up to greet him: "Eric, I'll come." ”

Eric saw Giselle get up from Carmen Keys, handed her the coffee pot in his hand, and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?" ”

"It's nothing, I apologize to Carmen."

"Oh, Carmen forgave you? She's very cautious. ”

"Hehe, it's not, how can you say that about a girl."

Giselle's words were still lingering in his mind, but when he heard Eric say this, Carmen Keith suddenly looked over angrily, and he didn't pay attention.

Eric laughed and sat down on the couch.

Alexander and Miranda laughed together, and sat next to Eric, one left and one right.

Feeling Miranda's slender body squeezing on top of him, Eric smiled, "Okay, I'm going to kick you out if you pester." ”

"Eric, we want to go to California for a few days, when are you going back?"

"I'm busy, I'll be back in Los Angeles in the afternoon."

"Can you take us with you, I want to be your private jet."

"Yes."

Seeing Eric nodding, Miranda suddenly seemed very excited, and leaned into Eric's ear and muttered something.

After hearing this, Eric smiled and patted the girl's small waist, and said, "Don't make trouble, if you become a fairy on the plane, I can only throw you down." ”

Miranda twisted her waist slightly, and said, "You can't bear it." ”

Eric reached out and took the coffee handed over by Giselle, looked at Carmen Cays next to him, and said, "What happened to Dior's perfume ad last time?" ”

Seeing Alexander and Miranda huddle around Eric, she felt a faint taste of food lingering in her heart, but she still said: "It's been broadcast in France, and the effect is not bad." ”

"It's amazing," Giselle said, putting down the coffee pot and sitting down next to Carmen Keys, "Carl mentioned the Golden Goddess commercial in his interview last month, he is the head of Chanel, and it is not common for him to say good things about Dior." ”

Karl Lagerfeld's name is on the verge of being crushed, but it also shows that Galeries Lafayette has a strong influence in the fashion industry for a long time. He personally opened his mouth to praise it, and the gold content is still very high.

After chatting with the four girls for a while, it was close to eleven o'clock when Eric explained that the three Giselle girls could go directly to the Long Island airport, and he took Carmen Kath to pay for lunch.

He followed Eric downstairs and sat in the man's car. Although there was no shadow of Giselle's three daughters in front of him, his emotions were even more turbulent.

"Would you like to go to Los Angeles in the afternoon?"

A large hand reached over to take her small hand, and Eric's voice rang in her ears.

She was stunned and quickly shook her head: "I still have a job." After saying this, he felt that his tone was too blunt, and hurriedly added: "It's a media conference from Dior, just on Friday." ”

"Oh, forget it."

I felt that the man was still holding his hand and wanted to withdraw it, but he was a little reluctant.

Giselle's words in the living room came to mind again.

However, she is not a stupid girl, on the contrary, she is very shrewd on weekdays.

Then I suddenly understood the intention of Giselle to say those things just now.

Moreover, she was able to determine that Giselle must have done it on purpose.

Suddenly I was a little angry.

Biting her lip, she glanced at the man next to her, and hesitated for a moment before she whispered, "She, Giselle, and Alexander, are actually really gay, I saw them with my own eyes last time in Paris." ”

Eric was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "It's very good, I've learned to make small reports." ”

Her face suddenly turned into a red cloth, and she turned her head away, forcibly retracting her hand, and pretending to be angry.

But I was extremely worried in my heart.

He must have thought of himself as a woman who wanted to tell the truth.

It was Giselle who picked it up first.

The man's hand reached over and grabbed her shoulder with a slight effort.

So he leaned over with his strength, but he didn't dare to look into the man's eyes again.

After snuggling like this for a while, seeing that Eric had not spoken, she couldn't help but take the initiative to ask in a low voice, "Eric, if, if I were to leave, would you mind?" ”

"Of course, I'm a man, how can I not mind."

"So, would you like me to leave?"

"No, when the scar on my arm disappears, you can leave, no kidding."

"Hmm."

He nodded his head and looked very resigned.

He also took the man's arm and looked at it.

The bite marks are still there, and they are clear.

The car drove through the streets of Manhattan for a few moments, and soon stopped next to a building in Rockefeller Center.

It's still raining outside, and it's getting worse.

Erekla got out of the car with Carmen Keys, took an umbrella from the bodyguard and put it between the two of them, walked into the building, and went all the way to a high-rise restaurant inside the building.

Showtime's headquarters are located near Rockefeller Center.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Viacom Group, Showtime is largely a separate company with its own office space.

After the Firefly Group takes over, Showtime TV will be subordinate to the cable TV operation department, however, the company does not plan to make much changes to the office of Showtime TV, but only to take over the lease of the office building from Viacom Group, except for some managers who Viacom voluntarily withdrew, other employees will not be adjusted for the time being.

Eric is meeting Matthew Blank, CEO of Showtime, a former HBO executive who moved from HBO to Showtime in the early 90s, working his way up from president of operations to his current role as CEO.

Before the headquarters of Viacom Group changed its own cable TV operation strategy, the operation of Showtime TV has been unstable, and the rapid development in recent years can hardly be said to be the reason for the unbinding of Viacom Group or others, Eric has great expectations for Showtime TV, and naturally hopes to get to know the person in charge for the first time.

Entering the reserved restaurant, Matthew Blanc had already arrived early.

If Eric saw in the profile, this is a middle-aged man in rimless glasses, in his forties, obviously looking much younger than Tom Reston, looking at his figure, and obviously has very good fitness habits.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them sat down at the dining table.

Matthew Blanc saw Eric bring his girlfriend, thought that he had mistaken the intention of this meeting, and took the initiative to apologize for coming alone.

It was a more formal business dinner, and Eric had no intention of bringing Carmen Kath with him, but it was impossible to leave the girl in the apartment with the Giselles, so he changed his mind and brought her with him.

Taking the initiative to explain a few words, Matthew Blank was relieved.

It was still early, and he didn't order immediately, but just asked for some pre-dinner dessert, and Matthew Blank took the initiative to say, "Eric, can I find out what direction you plan to take Showtime TV towards?" You know, Firefly already has FFM, and although it's still a bit far from HBO, this paid cable station is now much more than Showtime."

Eric didn't answer, but threw the question back: "I'm not going to let Showtime compete directly with FFM, according to this line of thinking, can you tell me what you think?" ”

Matthew Blank was clearly prepared, and said, "In this case, I think we can emulate the ideas of HBO and its affiliate Cinemax, and Showtime will go on a larger scale." However, Eric, in this case, it is actually a bit of a waste of the foundation that Showtime has laid in recent years. After all, Cinemax's soft-colored approach is still disgusting to many paying viewers, who may prefer to subscribe to Playboy if they want the content. ”

Eric nodded approvingly and said, "So, you're only half right, Showtime TV will indeed take a larger-scale route, but it is not the scale you consider, but a scale that touches on various sensitive topics in an all-round way." It's not just Seki. ”

Matthew Blank seemed to understand something, and said with some concern: "Eric, this is likely to cause criticism, I mean, there are some topics that we as TV stations can not touch, or not touch, for example, racial discrimination, this is definitely a minefield." ”

"Of course I know, in fact, what I want is a kind of pursuit of a larger scale while maintaining political correctness. Moreover, this scale is obviously different from the positioning of FFM, to put it simply, FFM pursues depth, it is an Emmy Award, but Showtime pursues scale, in addition to Seqing, there are homosexuality, mental illness, violence, etc., but these elements will not be presented to the audience without a bottom line. It's hard to explain this in a sentence or two, but it still has to be shown through the production of a TV show, and during this time I take the time to personally select some projects. ”
