The Ninth and Thirtieth Eighth Chapter Can't Eat It, Right?

"It's an interview on the influence of Victoria's Secret Angels," Emily said: "When it was broadcast on TV, I planned to add an interview from executives to Victoria's Secret Angels himself around this Victoria's Secret Angel income list during the theme interval. ."

Eric understands that, in the final analysis, it is still to hype the annual income of Victoria's Secret Angels, so that the Victoria's Secret brand can attract more attention.

He pointed to Edward Lazek, who had been promoted to the chief marketing officer of Victoria's Secret not far away, and said with a smile: "This, you can just say a few words, let me come forward and praise how much Victoria's Secret Angel has earned this year. How much, do you think it's appropriate? I think the audience is more likely to turn their minds to 'how much money Eric Williams made this year'."

Emily rolled her eyes and said: "Don't worry, I will never let them have this kind of association. You are the founder of the Victoria's Secret show, and this topic is your best right to speak. Think about it. What should I say, I'll call the photographer."

"Don't be in such a hurry, right?"

"Who knows where you're going these days," Emily dropped the sentence and hurried away again.

Eric just turned his thoughts and thought about what to say. Emily had already walked over with a photographer and motioned Eric to go to a quieter office next door.

Sitting down on the sofa in the office, and waiting for the photographer to turn on the camera, Emily looked at Eric as if he was still not ready to say anything, and knew that the topic was a little sudden, and took the initiative to guide: "Then, you talk about it first. , What is the fundamental reason for the revenue growth of Victoria's Secret Angels?"

Emily asked this, naturally hoping that Eric could turn the topic to the support of the Victoria's Secret brand to the supermodels. She actually only needs Eric to say some relevant words, and then choose a few suitable ones. Words are inserted into interview excerpts.

However, Eric didn't understand Emily's intention this time. After thinking about it, he said, "The root cause, I think, should be the actual embodiment of the realization of the eyeball economy."

"Eyeball economy?" Emily asked suspiciously.

Eric felt Emily's doubts and realized that the eyeball economy may be a term that became popular after the rise of the Internet, and explained: "The eyeball economy is an economic activity that obtains economic benefits by attracting public attention. Comparing Traditionally, TV ratings or newspaper circulation, in the final analysis, need to attract enough eyeballs to reach a certain height. The same is true for the emerging group of Victoria's Secret Angels. There are thousands of girls in the modeling profession all over the world. , but only this group is attracting the majority of the public's attention to models."

Emily was obviously misled by Eric, and retorted: "Just by increasing their attention, their personal income will increase significantly, which doesn't seem to make sense."

"Of course, in many news events, some ordinary people will suddenly gain a lot of attention, but this does not bring them any actual economic benefits." Eric agreed: "This also involves a Regarding the problem of monetization channels, the Victoria's Secret Angels have gained more attention through the Victoria's Secret catwalk, and at the same time, there is a complete brokerage team behind them to realize this attention for them. Those fashion brands are in order to increase their popularity. , and are willing to pay a higher price than before to hire supermodels who were born in Victoria's Secret Angels as their brand ambassadors. In the end, their income is much higher than before. I remember Linda said before that there is no ten thousand a day. Dollars she won't get up. But now, to invite her to a catwalk, $100,000 might not be enough, because she has more 'eyeballs' than ever."

Emily held her chin and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's really like this. I can't think of so many interesting theories in your stomach. This, eyeball economy, seems to be very suitable for the current Internet industry."

"Of course, whether it's a portal or e-commerce, it needs to get enough attention to be successful. If you pay attention to Amazon's hunger marketing using fireflyer in the first half of the year,

can feel this more deeply. Wall Street's valuation of Amazon was only $2 billion in the first half of the year, but it is now $4.5 billion. It can be said that the eyeball economic effect of hunger marketing has brought Amazon a full $2.5 billion in book income. If Yahoo wants to maintain the current state of rapid development, its future marketing strategy also needs to firmly grasp the concept of eyeball economy. I remember that I wrote a memo to Yahoo executives. If you are interested, you can find it. Take a look. "

Emily nodded excitedly, and felt that the photographer next to her had a look of interest on her face. Only then did she realize her current state, and glared at Eric unreasonably, saying, "I was caught by you again. The topic has been diverted, and we are talking about Victoria's Secret Angels now."

The catwalk outside was still going on, and Emily didn't want to be away if something unexpected happened. So I stopped asking any ambiguous questions, and let Eric say a few good words to the Angel Legion very bluntly, and this ended the recording.

Although it is already the fourth catwalk, whether it is an ltd executive or an angel supermodel participating in the catwalk, every catwalk is still trembling.

Emily and other management are worried about what unexpected situations will occur during the catwalk, and the angel supermodels are worried about whether they will fall on the runway. Although Diane Kruger staged a "Cinderella incident" by virtue of a shoe that was thrown on the stage, she became the most popular supermodel in the first Victoria's Secret show in one fell swoop. But in the past few years, no supermodel has dared to do this deliberately. All Victoria's Secret Angels only hope that they can successfully complete their runway show.

Fortunately, after 60 minutes of intense and hectic, the catwalk finally came to a successful conclusion.

After the curtain call, the guests at the front desk began to leave the venue one after another. This time, the forty-three Victoria's Secret Angels gathered in the backstage again. As long as the big group photo for publicity was taken, everyone would rush to the nearby Gramercy Park Hotel to participate. Afterparty.

Eric ignored the noise of a group of excited girls taking pictures not far away, and was sitting and chatting with Elton John, who was the guest singer of this catwalk, trying to persuade the legendary British singer to join Yahoo! In the music store, Cindy and Linda ran over from the photo-taking crowd, pulling Eric to take part in the group photo.

Eric looked at the high-heeled high-heeled boots with straps on their legs above the knees, shook his head resolutely, and said with a smile: "No, I don't take a photo with you goblins, it affects my height a lot. A heroic image."

The average height of Victoria's Secret Angels is close to 1.8 meters, not to mention that they are basically wearing all kinds of high-heeled shoes at this time. Although Eric's height is not short, it must be very incongruous to stand in the middle of this group of fairies. .

Linda took Eric's hand in dissatisfaction and said, "Then you can sit, we'll bring you a stool."

Eric patted the double sofa where he and Elton John were sitting in a "difficult" way, and said, "You move this over there, and I'll pat it."

"Ha, do you think we can't move in," Cindy said, shouting to the crowd not far away, and a group of fairies who were in a state of excitement after successfully completing the catwalk rushed up without hesitation.

Elton John smiled and quickly got up to dodge, and Eric also stood up and said, "Okay, okay, don't move, I'll be there."

The Victoria's Secret Angels, who were already a little crazy, ignored Eric. In the roar of laughter, seven or eight girls easily lifted the two-seater sofa and walked towards the photo area.

Linda watched the sisters put the sofa in front of the photo wall, glanced at Eric proudly, pulled him over, pressed him in the center of the sofa, and did not leave, taking advantage of the situation in Eric. Sit down next to him.

With Linda taking the lead, and the other angels swarming up, Cindy easily grabbed the seat on Eric's right, and the sofa armrests on both sides were also quickly occupied, and there was also a fragrant wind behind Eric, and he could still feel a few. The little hands touched his little tofu intentionally or unintentionally.

Russell James, the Victoria's Secret photographer holding a camera, seemed to think that the scene was not lively enough, and waved his hand: "Mr. Williams, can you cross your legs? Also, who can come to the front."

Now that he has been pulled over, Eric has to cooperate with his legs, but he is thinking that this photo must not be circulated, otherwise he will definitely be drawn in circles by countless male creatures.

Qusi Gauff, who was crowded on the periphery because she was a newcomer, heard Russell James' words and immediately left her seat and walked to the front of the sofa.

As a top model, posing is almost a matter of deep instinct. Qusi Gauff naturally sat down beside Eric's legs, curled up her long legs slightly, and put one arm gently on Eric on the knee. The position on the other side was occupied by Helena Christensen, and her soft body still wearing a sexy angel outfit was gently attached to Eric's leg.

Russell James instructed several supermodels to change their poses, and forty-three stunners surrounded Eric tightly, then raised the camera and shouted: "ok, three, two, one ."

"yeah!"

In the ballroom of the Gramercy Garden Hotel, all the Angels and supermodels have changed into their costumes.

Eric had just finished a dance with Cindy and came out of the dance floor when he was stopped by Stephanie Seymour, who was holding her husband Peter Grant.

After a few simple greetings, Stephanie Seymour gradually asked: "Eric, I heard that MGM is making a TV series that you have conceived for the newly acquired bravo channel, do you think I can Would you like to try it?"

The TV series that Stephanie Seymour is talking about is naturally "Desperate Housewives". Now this TV series has started casting and is planned to be broadcast next spring.

Eric knows that this year will be the last time Stephanie Seymour will go to the Victoria's Secret runway. Although she is not yet thirty years old, her husband, publishing mogul Peter Grant, obviously does not want his wife to continue to appear on the Victoria's Secret runway. , and for this reason, he also said hello to Emily in private.

Eric would not expose these little actions, after all, if it were him, he would probably do the same.

Glancing at Peter Grant, who was obviously helpless despite maintaining a smile on his face, Eric showed a regretful expression and shook his head: "Sorry, Stephanie, there are four heroines in the plan, three of which are set They're all in their forties, and the last one is about your age, but I want the character to be Latino, you know, we had to have some minority characters."

Speaking of which, Stephanie Seymour seems to be only 29 years old this year, and even her career fits very well with the role of the retired supermodel played by Eva Longoria in the original "Desperate Housewives". If it wasn't for 'political correctness', I could really let Stephanie Seymour try. As for Peter Grant's thoughts, Eric naturally wouldn't care.

However, although the wisteria community in the script is obviously a wealthy middle-class white community, if abc really sets all the four heroines to be white, if the drama becomes popular in the future, they will inevitably be attacked by people with racism. After a while, a Latino was stuffed in, which was considered to gag some people's mouths.

Stephanie Seymour was not discouraged, and seemed to want to say something else. Peter Grant, who was standing beside her, finally couldn't help but said, "Baby, don't embarrass Eric anymore, I think you still focus on these years. Children are the best."

Due to her age, Stephanie Seymour, who realized that she was about to retire, wanted to marry Peter Grant a few years ago. However, several consecutive Victoria's Secret shows unexpectedly gave her a second spring. .

As an ambitious woman, she now has some regrets in her heart. She will leave the Victoria's Secret stage next year. She knows that if she doesn't do something, her newly revitalized career will fall into silence again in two years, so she hopes to get a chance to participate in a TV series from Eric.

Due to the subject matter, several heroines of "Wanted City" are now flourishing in the fashion circle. For "Desperate Housewives" conceived by Eric himself, Stephanie Seymour is not too doubtful if she can get it A role, her fame can be maintained for a long time.

However, after hearing what her husband said, Stephanie Seymour was not good at keeping him off the stage in front of Eric and Cindy, so she nodded obediently and chatted with Eric a few more words before reluctantly. Walk away with Peter Grant.

Cindy watched Stephanie walk away, and then smiled with a bit of schadenfreude: "Look, Stephanie must regret her death now. Marriage is not only the grave of love, but also the grave of career."

Eric smiled and said, "If it wasn't for Victoria's Secret, I think you should go to the 'grave' now, right?"

"Yeah, I'll probably, um, find a man who is a little worse than me, but not too far behind to marry, so that I can live freely, unlike Stephanie, who is bound by her husband's family background."

Eric saw Emily not far away, walked over with Cindy, and asked, "What about now?"

"Now," Cindy's eyes became a little more confused, shook her head, and said: "Now, the kind of man I originally hoped for is not easy to find. If he is too far from me, he will definitely not be able to survive. If Those who are similar to me or stronger than me, they will definitely think that I am too strong, and it is probably not very good."

"Then you can just find a woman, I think Linda is good, hehe, then adopt another child," Eric made a joke casually, not noticing Cindy's changing expression, and walked to Emily In front of him, he mentioned the matter of the group photo just now, and said, "Don't send that photo out. I don't want to be jealous and throw eggs on the road these days."

Emily rolled her eyes at Eric and said, "I thought you would be very proud."

"There is nothing to be proud of, you can only watch but not eat."

Emily glanced at Cindy and said with a half-smile, "I don't think you can't eat it, you can't eat it, right? That's forty-three."

Eric was immediately dissatisfied: "Uh, are you looking down on me?"

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, of course I won't let anyone send that photo, don't worry," Emily said, and said hello to Cindy, who still looked thoughtful, With a smile, he walked towards a guest not far away.
