Chapter 734 Timing

Chapter 734

Aboard a yacht on the Hudson River in New York, the crew of America's Next Top Model are filming the latest episode. ,

Eric was standing outside the shooting venue in casual clothes, wearing sunglasses, and Linda Evangelinsta beside him. In front of them, Cindy Crawford was introducing the remaining six contestants. Follow the rules of the next game.

After finishing the business in Boston, Eric arrived in New York three days ago, spent the weekend with the women and children on Long Island, and came to Manhattan.

After a month and a half, the filming of "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway" has already passed halfway, and it is expected to be roughly completed in September. Eric spent a day yesterday to check the two reality shows. Make the result.

Because of the memory of the past life as a reference, Cindy has several years of TV show host qualifications, and has enough experience in TV show production. Therefore, the edited first two episodes of "America's Next Top Model" have made Eric is very satisfied.

But "Project Runway" is a bit unsatisfactory. Although Linda works very hard, she does not have as much experience as Cindy. "America's Next Top Model" has edited two episodes of samples, "Project Runway" " but only one episode that was very dissatisfying half-finished.

Since the previous life "Project Runway" followed the trend of "America's Next Top Model", Eric simply pulled Linda over to learn.

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

"It's impossible for me to think of Cindy like this," looked at Cindy Crawford on the field. Linda leaned closer to Eric and said, "The audience is very interested in various details such as model training, photography, and even life, but for fashion designers, the interest in this aspect will be much lower. Edited by Cindy It is unlikely that the sample reference will come out.”

Eric smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to come and copy Cindy's ideas, I just asked you to come and see how she used these materials to catch the audience's attention. "Project Runway" definitely has its own digs. focus point."

Linda asked curiously, "What is that?"

Eric didn't expect her to figure it out either. Looking at Cindy, who was walking over after the explanation, he said, "I thought about it, we can work on the rhythm, since the audience feels that fashion designers are a little far away from their lives, then it's better to shorten the distance. "

Cindy, who walked out of the shooting venue, took a bottle of water from the staff,

After taking a sip, I just heard Eric's words and asked, "Eric, how are you going to bring the audience closer?"

Eric smiled and said, "Guess what."

Cindy shrugged. No guesswork at all. Linda complained to Eric in dissatisfaction: "Eric, Cindy is so hateful. When I was shooting last week, I just encountered some small problems, and I called her to ask her, but she didn't mean to help at all. , and laughed at me. Also, she was unwilling to cooperate with my idea of ​​doing a crossover."

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

"Okay, don't be arrogant," Eric waved his hand and said, "The idea of ​​a crossover is good, but you don't have to use it in such a hurry. Wait until the second season. Or the third season, it can be launched as a gimmick at that time. Filling all the good ideas into the show at once, although it will get good results, but without gradual progress, the audience will not be interested in watching a few seasons. "

Cindy nodded. He hummed proudly again and glanced at Linda: "Well, hum, I just don't know if there will be a second or third season of "Project Runway"."

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

"I have no opinion." Cindy showed a fox-like smile, she did not believe that if the ratings of "Project Runway" were not satisfactory, Eric would still insist on producing.

Linda also obviously realized this, shook Eric's arm, and said, "Eric, what is the method you just said to get closer to the audience?"

Eric recalled the demo of "Project Runway" he watched yesterday, and said: "From yesterday's demo, the rhythm is still a little slow, mainly because the process of clothing production makes people look very boring. , but we can't cut any more shots, otherwise the whole competition process will not be complete. So, I think we can add a lot of narration. On the one hand, this method can give a sense of increased rhythm, and on the other hand, it can also Provide more annotations for the audience to understand why the players are doing some of the moves. Well, that's it, you have a meeting with the production team tomorrow to discuss it, and I'll be there when the time comes."

"Okay," Linda nodded, giving Cindy a demonstrative look.

Cindy pouted, looked at the contestants who were taking pictures on the field, and asked, "Eric, what about my show?"

"Well, your side is perfect. You can make it according to this progress, and you don't need to modify it."

Cindy was stunned for a while, not feeling too excited because of Eric's admiration, but a little bit of a loss.

Linda giggled even more heartlessly, and made a face at Cindy while Eric wasn't paying attention.

Cindy did her job too well, and she lost a lot of opportunities to get along with Eric. She was a little nervous because she didn't do well enough, but now she is proud.

Eric retracted his gaze towards the shooting venue, just noticed that the two women were interacting with their eyes with strange expressions, and asked, "What's the matter 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 bitch.

Cindy cursed in her heart, seeing that Eric really wanted to leave, but with a resentful expression on his face, he pulled Eric's sleeve: "Eric, it will be noon soon, I will finish the work. It's so good. It can't even be rewarded with a meal, can it?"

"Eric, tell you a secret, Cindy's expression is... ah, pinch me again, do you think I dare not fight back?"

Eric separated the two women and said, "Okay. Don't make trouble, there are so many people."

I noticed that the crew and even the contestants who were taking pictures on the field looked over curiously, and the two 'cats' who almost scratched up immediately returned to their cool goddess style.

Cindy adjusted her thick wavy hair and said to Eric: "Eric, let's have dinner together later. I happened to have a guest, and she is also a beautiful woman. She will be the special guest of this issue. ."

"You've already made an appointment, and..." Linda was halfway through her sentence, feeling the threatening look in Cindy's eyes. Had to give up.

Eric stretched out his hand to stop Linda's waist, patted her lightly, motioned her to stop making trouble, nodded to Cindy and said, "Okay, but you have to tell me who you dated first, right?"

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

"I know." Eric nodded.

Elizabeth Hurley, a famous British supermodel, is also an actress, but in Eric's memory, she is most familiar with a series of lace news. He didn't even quite understand what happened to Elizabeth Hurley's love history. Judging from the information in his mind, Eric always felt that the British supermodel seemed to be dating many men at the same time. Moreover, the British supermodel seems to have a very similar personality to a certain actress in Hong Kong, always desperate for a sugar daddy. The difference is that Elizabeth Hurley was more 'lucky', and finally got close to a rich Indian, but Hong Kong actresses are different.

Eric remembered that Elizabeth Hurley should now be the girlfriend of British actor Hugh Grant.

After Hugh Grant became popular with "Four Weddings and a Funeral", he also developed well in Hollywood with his boyfriend's fame. It seems that, according to the historical trajectory, Hugh Grant will have a trick scandal this year, and his reputation will plummet. However, Eric does not remember the specific date. It is already July this year, and this incident has not happened yet. It seems that As a result of the butterfly effect, Eric's influence in Hollywood has changed so many things.

Thinking this way, Eric asked Cindy, "I'm just curious, why did you invite her as a guest?"

Cindy explained: "I met at a Chanel party last month and had a good conversation. She heard that I was doing this show and wanted to come over as a guest judge for an episode. She has wanted to enter Hollywood for the past two years. , but it didn't go well, so I want to use this opportunity to increase exposure and win-win for everyone."

There are always various parties in this circle. After so many years of rebirth, although Eric has not yet integrated into this culture, he is used to it.

After spending more than an hour on the set of America's Next Top Model, when the crew finished work at noon, Cindy took Eric and Linda to a quiet restaurant in a building on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan. The privacy is very good, there is a separate cubicle, and a membership card is also required.

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

"Hi, Liz," Cindy got up to meet her, hugged Elizabeth Hurley, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Liz, two friends came over temporarily, and I took them because I couldn't communicate with you. come together."

The two women were talking, but Eric felt that Elizabeth Hurley's eyes were fixed on his face, even shining inexplicably.

"Introduction, this is Eric Williams, oh, this is Linda, you must know it," Cindy deliberately reached out and shook her hand in front of Linda, and then carried it lightly, making Linda feel a while. depressed.

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

"Just call me Eric," Eric shook the other's hand lightly, and after a simple touch, he felt the other's fingers scratching lightly in his palm, thinking that this woman is really bold enough.

After greeting and sitting at the table, Elizabeth Hurley asked unabashedly, "Eric, are you here for the "America's Next Top Model"?"

"Yeah," Eric nodded, took the menu from the waiter, and flipped through it at will.

Elizabeth Hurley also realized that she was a little anxious, and elegantly flipped through the menu in her hand, ordered food, and waited for the waiter to leave, then continued: "I thought you should be in Boston now, Eric, listen. It's 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 perfunctory: "Oh, this should be very simple, you can understand it after a little pondering."

In less than a week after Yahoo released its personal homepage at the new product launch, the number of users has exceeded 7 million, and it is still showing a rapid increase. With Eric's influence in Hollywood, many stars have also taken advantage of the situation to open personal homepages, which has increased the attractiveness of Yahoo's personal homepages. 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.

When it came to this topic, Cindy's eyes lit up next to him. What she thought of was a photo she saw in the "New York Times" a few days ago, Eric and Firefly Group's Jeffrey Katzenberg, Nokia's Joma Ollila, Cisco's John? Pictured with Chambers, AOL's Steve Case and others. Everyone in the photo is centered on Eric. In the accompanying text, a reporter from The New York Times predicted that with the rapid development of the listed companies, Eric's personal wealth may even increase by 5% this year. More than ten, and "Forbes" magazine at the beginning of this year has already assessed Eric's personal assets to 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 must know that with the skyrocketing of Microsoft's stock price, Bill Gates' worth has just reached 12.9 billion US dollars. Eric's fortune alone is almost equal to the sum of everyone else in the top 10 of the Forbes rich list. Enable new URL
