Chapter 757 Can only Sit in the Aisle
There are only 20 minutes left until the show starts. The backstage of the show is busy at this time. The staff performing their duties are conducting the final confirmation through the headset. The first theme of the Victoria's Secret Angel has begun to wait, and Eric has just Walking into the backstage, Emily, Edward Lazek, Michael Bay and others all 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 quickly waved his hand and stopped: "You guys keep busy, if you have something to talk about at the next party."
Everyone has a lot of things in their hands. The reason why they came together is because Eric's identity is too special, and he has to come forward to say hello. After hearing Eric say this, Edward Razek, Michael Bay and others nodded their hellos and returned to their jobs, only Emily stayed.
Eric glanced around the arena and saw five young people in their early twenties who were about to take the stage not far away, and asked Emily next to him, "Are they the backstreet boys?"
After it was determined that Firefly Records would go the teen-pop (teen pop) route, the company dug over the jive record company team that created Backstreet Boys, Superboys, Britney Spears and other teen pop idols in the original time and space. And very coincidentally, Jive Records CEO Barry Weiss and others who jumped over from Sony Records also brought over a group of newcomers they just found. Among them, there happened to be a backstreet boy who brought teen-pop to the world in his previous life. group.
Emily followed Eric's gaze and nodded: "Yeah, since the release of the single in September, the upward momentum of these young people has been very good, and the performance tonight is also a new song. Well. , I don't know the specific situation, Barry Weiss should be in the front hall, you can call him over if you have any questions."
Eric shook his head and smiled: "No, just ask casually, I don't want to talk about work today."
Emily smiled and pointed to the makeup area full of Victoria's Secret Angels, and said: "In that case, you can do it yourself, I have a lot of things to do, oh, your babies are all over there, but Don't mess around until the show is over."
Eric pretended to be dissatisfied: "Are you doubting my professionalism?"
"Of course not," Emily said solemnly with a smile on her face, shaking her head, "I'm doubting your character."
Eric shrugged speechlessly: "Okay, I surrender, it seems that I should go directly to the front hall."
Emily was about to leave when she heard the words: "But, I didn't reserve a place for you."
"Ah, is this too much?"
"It's obvious that you said on the last phone call that you might be too busy," Emily blinked, thought about it, and said, "However, you can sit on the steps of the aisle."
"..."
"It's settled," Emily nodded to herself, satisfied with her own quickness, and said, "Speaking of which, it is impossible for other people to be allowed to sit on the aisle steps. enjoy this special treatment."
Emily finished,
Hearing the voice coming from the walkie-talkie in his hand, he quickly said a few words into the microphone, then waved to Eric, and left in a hurry.
Eric is not a person who likes to be in the limelight. It feels a little strange to think about the appearance of himself sitting on the aisle steps abruptly.
I figured that it would be nice if I had a company, and the two of them would not be too conspicuous sitting on the aisle steps.
It's a pity that he came alone today. Drew and Amy Pascal returned to Los Angeles after completing the negotiation with Morgan Stanley to adjust the stock price a few days ago. Chris, as Emily's boyfriend, should have It was a pity that he flew to San Francisco the day before yesterday. There were some problems with the funding of the R&D center responsible for mp3 players and e-book readers, and he needed to come forward to solve them. Virginia and Joanna would certainly not accompany him on such occasions.
Thinking boringly, Eric walked towards the makeup area. As a special spokesperson, Linda five always have some special treatment. The five people occupy a row of makeup tables. At this time, only Linda and Tyra Ban The three of Kes and Diane Kruger are sitting here. The opening session of this session has been replaced by Cindy Crawford, and Christie Turrington will leave the closing session. The two of them have already begun to wait.
"Hey, babies, you are so beautiful tonight," Eric greeted, carefully hugged the three of them gently, and nodded to the Victoria's Secret angels who were looking around.
It took four hours for the woman's makeup to be done. From the make-up artist with trembling eyes, you could see how worried they were about Eric accidentally destroying the makeup of the three girls.
Seeing Eric sitting down in the vacant seat next to Diane Kruger, Linda played with the eyebrow pencil in her hand and curiously said, "Eric, I asked Emily, and she said you won't come over tonight. Woolen cloth?"
"I think it would be a pity if I couldn't watch this big show for the first time, so I came here anyway," Eric replied with a smile, admiring Diane Kruger's charming little girl against the background of blonde hair. face and asked, "How did you feel about 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."
When Gwyneth Paltrow didn't like the small role in "The Seven Deadly Sins", Eric gave the heroine to Diane Kruger. Work, Firefly has set the schedule for next year's Easter.
Eric said: "Then 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 you are 25 years old."
"Well, I'll listen to you," Diane Kruger nodded resignedly.
Linda on the other side heard the conversation between the two and joined in the fun with a smile: "Eric, which female character do you think my temperament is more suitable for?"
"Your temperament is more suitable to stay in the model circle honestly, and at most you can make a cameo appearance as a reality TV host or something."
"You're jealous. Some people used to say that I have the temperament of an actress in the golden age of Hollywood."
"Yes, yes, but unfortunately the golden age has passed, and it will never return."
"Humph."
While chatting endlessly, the music at the front desk suddenly rang. Eric could hear that it was waiting music. He looked at his watch, and there were still ten minutes before the official start.
As the music started, a staff member hurried over and said, "Miss Kruger, Miss Banks, it's almost time, it's time to change."
The two women nodded and stood up.
Linda was the only one left in the row of makeup tables. The woman was obviously a little excited. She sat closer to Eric and asked in a low voice, "Eric, I bought an apartment in Greenwich Village, a real estate. The agent said it was left by an artist, and it's very beautiful, do you want to come and see it tonight?"
Eric joked: "I actually prefer simple and modern houses, and may not appreciate the artist's residence."
Linda patted Eric's arm in dissatisfaction and said, "Then why don't you come, if you don't come..."
Eric narrowed his eyes: "Oh, what are you going to do?"
"I, I'm going to invite Cindy home tonight."
"Okay, just send me a box of video tapes tomorrow. I really like lesbian movies."
Linda tugged at Eric's sleeve in dissatisfaction: "If you don't come, it doesn't matter if you don't."
"Oh, okay," Eric just adjusted Linda a little, then nodded.
"Then it's settled, you are not allowed to date other women tonight."
"Well, I promise."
Just as he was talking, the waiting music at the front desk stopped. Judging by the situation, the official performance seemed to be about to start. Linda looked at Eric, who was sitting indifferently, and said, "Aren't you going to the front?"
"It's like this, well, Emily didn't reserve a seat for me."
"Ah, hehe," Linda smiled in surprise, feeling that everyone around seemed to be moving again. At the same time, the music sounded. Knowing that the big show had started, she beckoned the makeup artist to check her makeup. Rick said: "I'm about to change my clothes. I have two pairs of big wings tonight. They are very beautiful, but unfortunately you can't see them."
With a smile on the corner of Eric's mouth, he said, "It doesn't matter, I can find time to watch it in private."
"Hmph, bastard, you must be thinking something bad."
After simply touching up the makeup, the staff began to call, and Linda also got up and walked towards the dressing room.
At this time, the music at the front desk had already sounded, and Eric listened to some familiar voices and tunes. The backstreet boys' five-member group are not very good-looking, but their voices are the kind of magnetic voices that little girls like very much.
In addition to a variety of cosmetic utensils on the makeup table, there are also some boxes containing fruit salad or chocolate. For tonight's big show, the Victoria's Secret Angels have been on a diet for more than two months in addition to physical training. Not to mention some angel wings that often weigh more than ten kilograms, the long-term excitement at the big show is also very physically exhausting. Therefore, since last year, Eric has let the angels prepare these small snacks, which are still the same this year. in this way.
He picked up a chocolate bean and threw it into his mouth. Eric was considering whether he could find a place to watch the live performance at the photographer's venue at the end of the runway. There was a faint fragrance, and a man wearing a special pink nightgown from Victoria's Secret Angel The woman sat down next to Eric.
"Hi, Eric."
Eric turned his head, recalled, and extended his hand to the woman with a smile: "Hi, Stephanie, you are beautiful tonight."
The woman in front of him was Stephanie Seymour, who accidentally replaced Heidi Klum last year. Eric remembered that this woman should now be married to publishing tycoon Peter Grant, but he didn't expect that she would still participate in Victoria's Secret this year. Big show.
"Thank you for the compliment, Eric," Stephanie Seymour nodded with a smile, looking at Eric with wandering eyes.
Eric was a little uncomfortable to be looked at by the woman's eyes. This kind of eyes should usually be from a man to a woman.
"Is Peter okay lately? I'm so sorry I couldn't be at your wedding."
Stephanie Seymour said: "He's on the front desk and we're fine."
"Oh, then," Eric looked around and said, "Everyone seems to have already started preparing?"
"Yeah," Stephanie Seymour's expression suddenly became a little more unwilling, and said: "However, I will only appear in the last theme, so don't worry."
From the woman's expression, Eric can probably guess something.
As a publishing tycoon, Peter Grant is worth more than a billion, and at his age, a conservative personality is almost certain, it is difficult for such a man to not have a problem with his wife's participation in such a big show. Come to think of it, Stephanie Seymour can only participate in a catwalk with one theme tonight, which should also be the result of a compromise between her and Peter Grant.
Thinking boringly, Eric found that he and Stephanie Seymour had nothing to talk about. This is not only a *wife, but also a very sturdy woman. Eric still remembers Stephanie Seymour. Mo used to pull a group of ex-girlfriends of the lead singer of Guns und Roses to sue each other for the sturdy deeds of asking for money for the loss of youth. This kind of woman Eric does not want to provoke, and does not have the energy.
Seeing that Stephanie Seymour didn't seem to want to leave, Eric pushed the box containing the chocolate beans to the other party and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
"Thank you," Stephanie Seymour gracefully picked up a chocolate bean and put it in her mouth, sucking it slowly, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
As a person with both thief heart and thief courage, Eric could not help but look around with a guilty conscience when he saw the woman's gesture. Most of the people were busy, and no one seemed to notice what happened here. However, from a makeup artist who immediately lowered his head and pretended to look for something when Eric looked over, Eric still knew that many people were looking at them.
Eric didn't want any messy rumors to spread, and said: "Okay, Stephanie, I think you should prepare in advance. Well, even if there is only one theme, it should still be taken seriously."
"Don't worry, Eric, I'm not going to screw it up," Stephanie Seymour said, swallowing the chocolate chip in her mouth, "that's it, Eric, Peter and I are going to have a house party tomorrow. , I wonder if I can invite you to participate?"
Eric shook his head: "What a pity, Stephanie, I have to go back to Los Angeles every day."
"Oh, that's really a pity," Stephanie Seymour showed the right look of regret on her face. After thinking about it, she knew that it would be difficult for her to find another chance. Even if it was an after-party an hour later, Eric was sure will be surrounded by all kinds of people.
After arranging the wording a little, Stephanie Seymour said: "That's it, Eric, I heard that Lifetime TV is preparing a TV series. It is said that there are four heroines. Do you think there is a role that suits me? "
