Chapter 757
There were only twenty minutes left before the performance began. The backstage of the show was busy at this time. The staff of their respective duties were making final confirmations through headphones. The Victoria's Secret Angel, who had the first theme, had already started waiting. Eric just walked into the backstage. Emily, Edward Lazek, Michael Bay and others came to greet Eric. The Victoria's Secret Angels around him also greeted Eric enthusiastically.
Seeing that everyone was about to surround themselves, Eric waved his hand quickly and stopped him, "You guys keep busy, if you have any questions, then chat at the party."
Everyone was full of things. The reason they came over was because Eric's identity was so special that they had to come forward to greet him. After hearing Eric say this, Edward Razek, Michael Bay and others nodded and said hello, they all returned to their jobs, and only Emily stayed.
Eric glanced around the venue and saw five young men in their early twenties about to appear on stage not far away. He asked Emily beside him, saying, "Are they the backstreet boys?"
After confirming that Firefly Records took the Teen-pop (teen pop) route, the company dug up the team of JIVE Records, which created backstreet boys, Super Boys, Britney Spears and other teen pop idols in the original time and space. And coincidentally, JIVE Records CEO Barry Weiss, who had just been selected, brought a group of newcomers he had just looked for, among which there was a backstreet boy group that pushed Teen-pop to the world in his previous life.
Emily looked at Eric's gaze and nodded, "Yes, since the single was released in September, these young people have been on a very good rise. The one to perform a new song tonight is also a new song. Well, I don't know the specific situation. Barry Weiss should be in the front hall. If you have any questions, you can call him over."
Eric shook his head and smiled, "No, just ask casually, 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, "Since that's the case, then you can do it yourself. I have a lot of things to be busy with. Now, your babies are all there, but you are not allowed to do anything until the show is over."
Eric pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Are you doubting my professionalism?"
"Of course not," Emily shook her head, with a smile on her face, and said seriously: "I'm doubting your character."
Eric shrugged speechlessly: "Okay, I surrender, it seems I'd better go directly to the front hall."
Emily was about to leave when she heard this, "But, I didn't leave you a place."
"Ah, this is too much, right?"
"It was obviously you who said on the phone last time that you might be too busy," Emily blinked and thought for a while and said, "But you can sit on the steps of the aisle."
“…”
"That's it," Emily nodded herself, satisfied with her urgency and said, "Speaking of all, no one else can be allowed to sit on the aisle steps. You have a special status and just enjoy this special treatment."
After Emily finished speaking, she heard a sound from the walkie-talkie in her hand. She quickly said a few words to the microphone, then waved her hand to Eric, and left in a hurry.
Eric is not a person who likes to show off. Thinking about his sudden appearance, he feels a little strange when he sits alone on the steps of the aisle.
I thought it would be great if I had a companion, and it would not be too conspicuous for two people to sit on the aisle steps.
Unfortunately, he came here alone today. Drew and Amy Pascal completed negotiations with Morgan Stanley to adjust stock pricing a few days ago and returned to Los Angeles. Chris, as Emily's boyfriend, should have attended. Unfortunately, he flew to San Francisco the day before yesterday. There were some problems with the R&D center for MP3 players and e-book readers, and he needed to solve it. Virginia and Joanna would definitely not accompany him to such occasions.
Thinking boredly, Eric walked towards the makeup area. As a special spokesperson, Linda and the five of them were treated with some special treatment. The five of them occupied a row of makeup tables. At this time, only Linda, Terra Banks and Diane Kruger were sitting here. The opening of this session was replaced by Cindy Crawford, and Christy Dulington would leave and close the venue. The two of them had already started to wait.
"Hey, baby, you guys are so beautiful tonight," Eric greeted, carefully hugged the three of them, and nodded to the Victoria's Secret Angels who were looking around.
It took four hours for the woman to finish her makeup. The makeup artist next to her with a trembling eyes can see how worried they are that Eric accidentally destroyed the makeup of the three women.
Seeing Eric sitting down in the empty seat next to Diane Kruger, Linda played with the eyebrow pencil in her hand and said curiously: "Eric, I asked Emily, she said you won't come tonight?"
"I think it would be a pity if I couldn't watch this show right away, so I came here," Eric responded with a smile, admiring Diane Kruger's beautiful little face against the blonde hair, and asked, "How is it like 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 looked down on the small character in "The Seven Deadly Sins", Eric gave the heroine to Diane Kruger. At this time, "The Seven Deadly Sins" had already been completed and later work was underway. Fireflies have already set the schedule for next year's Easter.
Eric said: "Then find more characters to exercise in the future. 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 submissively.
Linda, on the other side, heard the conversation between the two and joined in the fun with a smile: "Eric, what kind of female character do you think is suitable for my temperament?"
"Your temperament is more suitable for staying in the modeling circle honestly, and at most you will make guest appearances in the reality TV show host or something."
"You are jealous. Some people used to say that I have the temperament of a Hollywood Golden Age actress."
"Yes, yes, but unfortunately the golden age has passed and it will never return."
"snort."
As he chatted endlessly, the music from the front desk suddenly rang out. Eric could hear that it was waiting music. After looking at the watch, he had ten minutes left before the official start.
As the music started, a staff member hurried over and said, "Miss Kruger, Miss Banks, it's almost time to change his clothes."
The two women nodded and stood up.
Linda was 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. The real estate agent said it was left by an artist. It was very beautiful. Do you want to come and have a look tonight?"
Eric joked: "I actually prefer simple modern homes, and I may not appreciate the artist's residence."
Linda slapped Eric's arm in dissatisfaction and said, "Then do you come or not, if you don't come..."
Eric narrowed his eyes: "Oh, what are you going to do?"
"I, I will invite Cindy to go home tonight."
"Okay, just send me a box of videotapes tomorrow. I like laceband movies very much."
Linda pulled Eric's sleeves dissatisfied and said, "If you don't come, forget it if you don't come."
"Ha, okay," Eric just slightly adjusted Linda and nodded.
"Then let's make a decision. You are not allowed to have another woman tonight."
"Yeah, I promise."
As he was talking, the waiting music at the front desk stopped. Seeing that the formal performance seemed to be about to begin, Linda looked at Eric who was sitting indifferently and said, "Don't you go to the front?"
"This is how things look, well, Emily didn't leave me a seat."
"Ah, hehe," Linda smiled in surprise, feeling that everyone around her seemed to be moving again. At the same time, the music sounded, and knew that the show had begun, she waved to the makeup artist to check her makeup, and said to Eric: "I'm almost going to change my clothes too. I have two pairs of big wings tonight, which are very beautiful, but unfortunately you can't see it."
Eric smiled and said, "It's okay, I can find time in private to watch it."
"Hmph, bad guy, you must be thinking of something bad."
After simply putting on makeup, the staff began to call, and Linda also got up and walked towards the changing room.
At this time, the music from the front desk had already sounded, and Eric listened to the somewhat familiar voices and tunes. The five-person boys in the backstreet were not very good-looking, but the sounds were all the magnetic voices that little girls like very much.
In addition to various makeup tools, there are also boxes containing fruit salads or chocolates on the makeup table. For the show tonight, the Victoria's Secret Angels have to undergo more than two months of physical training, and have been on a diet in recent days. Not to mention some angel wings that weigh more than ten pounds, the long-term excitement of the show is also very physically exhausting. Therefore, since last year, Eric has been prepared by the angels, and this year is still the case.
Pinching a chocolate bean and throwing it into his mouth, Eric was thinking about whether he could find a place to watch the live performance at the photographer's venue at the end of the runway. When the fragrance came, a woman in a special pink nightgown made by Victoria's Secret Angel sat down next to Eric.
"Hi, Eric."
Eric turned his head, recalled it, and smiled and reached out to the woman: "Hi, Stephanie, you're beautiful tonight."
The woman in front of her was Stephanie Seymour, who accidentally replaced Heidi Clum last year. Eric remembers that this woman should now marry publishing tycoon Peter Grant, but she didn't expect that she would still participate in the Victoria's Secret show this year.
"Thank you for your compliment, Eric," Stephanie Seymour nodded with a smile, looking at Eric with a squirming wave.
Eric felt a little uncomfortable by the woman's eyes. This kind of eyes should usually be from men to women.
"How is Peter doing well recently? I'm so sorry for not being able to attend your wedding."
Stephanie Seymour said: "He's at the front desk, we're fine."
"Oh, then," Eric looked around and said, "Everyone seems to have started preparing?"
"Yes," Stephanie Seymour's expression suddenly became a little unwilling, and said, "But I will only appear on the last topic, so don't worry."
From the woman's expression, Eric could probably guess something.
As a publishing tycoon, Peter Grant has a net worth of over one billion, and with his age and conservative personality, it is almost certain that such a man would not have any opinions about his wife participating in this Neiyi show. I think Stephanie Seymour can only participate in one theme show tonight, which should be the result of her compromise with Peter Grant.
Thinking boredly, Eric found that he had nothing to talk about with Stephanie Seymour. This was not only a wife, but also a very tough woman. Eric still remembers Stephanie Seymour's ex-girlfriends who once pulled the guns and roses to sue the other party for the sturdy deeds of asking for youth losses. Eric doesn't want to provoke such a woman and doesn't have that energy.
Seeing that Stephanie Seymour didn't seem to leave, Eric pushed the box with chocolate beans in front of him 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 faint gaze in her eyes.
As a person who has both a thief heart and a brave courage, Eric couldn't help but look around guiltily when he saw the woman's posture. Most of them were busy, and no one seemed to notice what was happening here. However, from a makeup artist who immediately looked over and looked down and pretended to look for something when he saw Eric looking 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'd better prepare in advance. Well, even if there is only one topic, you should pay attention to it."
"Don't worry, Eric, I won't mess it up," Stephanie Seymour swallowed the chocolate beans in her mouth and said, "That's right, Eric, Peter and I plan to hold a family party tomorrow. I wonder if I can invite you to attend?"
Eric shook his head: "What a pity, Stephanie, I'm going back to Los Angeles every day."
"Oh, that's a pity," Stephanie Seymour showed a perfect expression of regret on her face. After thinking about it, she knew that it would be difficult for her to find another chance next. Even at the after-party of an hour later, Eric would definitely be surrounded by all kinds of people.
