I’m in Hollywood

Due to the proximity of Central Park, the Lungs of Manhattan, and it was late at night, the surrounding air was very fresh, without the smoke and dust of the metropolis at all.

Eric responded, stopped talking, and concentrated on enjoying the rare silence in this night.

As one of the most famous supermodels of the 1990s, Stephanie Seymour is used to seeing countless men who try to get close to her, and naturally she has the pride of a beautiful woman. The tepid response to Eric's several encounters was almost a setback for her.

The appearance of Eric just now gave Stephanie Seymour another confidence. She was sure that Eric was secretly following her.

Although married, Stephanie Seymour has never been a woman to settle for ordinary, she likes the feeling of being a celebrity and a life surrounded by the spotlight. She just turned 30 this year, and while that's usually the most attractive age for a woman, it's retirement age for models, by industry rules.

However, the Victoria's Secret show and the emergence of many things in recent years have changed all of this.

Since Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelinsta and others, who are a few years older than her, can maintain their status in the fashion circle for a long time by virtue of their status in the Victoria's Secret Legion and the TV shows in their hands. Influence, Stephanie Seymour thinks, must be able to do it herself.

Of course, the premise of this matter is that she must get a chance first.

Thinking of this, Stephanie Seymour felt a little resentful in her heart.

After America's Next Top Model and Project Runway became popular, she tried her best to win, starting from Sexy City to Desperate Housewives, which just ended the first season, but she was always beaten by this guy next to her. The man refused mercilessly.

Now, the cat finally couldn't help but want to steal fishy.

hum.

I snickered a few times in my heart, seeing that Eric didn't speak, Stephanie Seymour naturally wouldn't take the initiative to speak again.

only.

One minute passed, two minutes passed, five minutes passed.

Still unable to hold back, Stephanie Seymour glanced at Eric beside him, and when he saw that he was looking at the streetlights on the road downstairs, looking like the old god was there, he became angry.

Reluctantly, Stephanie Seymour said first, Eric, don't you think this is boring?

No, Eric retracted his thoughts and looked at the woman beside him. After several contacts, he naturally couldn't understand Stephanie Seymour's thoughts, and smiled: You still smell good. , as long as there are beautiful and fragrant women next to me, I will not be bored.

Stephanie Seymour curled her lips deliberately and said, Are you admiring or teasing?

Eric said solemnly: It should be considered a tease under normal circumstances, but you should understand it as an appreciation.

Stephanie Seymour was stunned when she heard the words, snorted lightly, gave Eric a look and said, I really don't know whether to say that you are too daring or too timid.

Eric narrowed his eyes, smiled playfully, and said, Actually, I'm very courageous.

Stephanie Seymour seemed unaware of the 'danger' and continued to tease: Oh, then you can prove it to me?

Okay, Eric nodded, turned slightly sideways, and stretched out a hand.

The two were standing at the corner of the rooftop fence. Eric stretched out his hand to embrace the woman's waist, and roughly turned the soft body in front of him and pressed it against the fence on the other side. Stephanie Seymour didn't expect Eric to be so 'direct', and with a dazed mind, he leaned down against the left fence along the man's strength, and assumed a somewhat shameful posture.

A little awake, Stephanie Seymour was about to express her resistance when she felt Eric come close to her ear, with a tone that seemed to teach an ignorant child: Woman, you should be quiet. When the time comes, you need to be calm.”

you……

Realizing that I was being tricked,

Just as Stephanie Seymour was about to refute shyly and angrily, she felt Eric dodge quickly, but there was a crisp sound of 'pop--' on the quiet rooftop, and the stinging pain from the buttocks made Stephanie Seymour move. Mo's legs softened and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Eric Williams, you bastard.

In the stairwell, Eric shrugged and continued to walk downstairs downstairs after listening to the exasperated female voice in his ear.

Back in the party hall, a guest was sitting by the piano in the corner and playing a tune for everyone. Eric took another glass of red wine, hugged Gisele's slender waist, and came to Chris and Emily's body. beside.

After the guest finished playing, everyone applauded in unison, and the atmosphere in the hall resumed lively again.

Chris then asked Eric: Why did it take so long?

The wind was blowing on the rooftop for a while, Eric explained, and added: Also, John Mark just hoped that we could speed up Yahoo's IPO process.

Chris nodded, not surprised. He could also guess Eric's reply to the other party. He didn't ask more, but just smiled: It seems that John and the others are really under a lot of pressure.

I'm not going to participate in these, Eric smiled and said, We just need to keep our rhythm.

Although the cooperation between Firefly and Morgan Stanley has been very pleasant, the relationship between the two parties is far from the point where Eric can change Yahoo's IPO strategy for him. Although Chris has worked at Morgan Stanley, his relationship with Morgan Stanley management is now limited to business cooperation.

After being slapped by Eric on the rooftop, Stephanie Seymour didn't come to entangle again, but looked at Eric from a distance with resentment in her eyes.

The party went on until midnight, before Eric left with Giselle.

It took two days to watch the presentation of abc group's new annual TV program, and it was Friday in a blink of an eye.

The Day After Tomorrow took in $73.75 million in the first three days of its first weekend, and then made another $37.99 million in the next four working days.

In the end, this special effects sci-fi blockbuster grossed $111.74 million in its first week, becoming the first film this summer to break 100 million in its first week.

In comparison, Lethal Weapon 4, which cost as much as $140 million to produce, broke the $100 million mark at the box office in its fourth week of release, reaching $100.15 million, facing the strong impact of The Day After Tomorrow. , the film's one-week box office has also fallen to 6.8 million US dollars, and the next two weeks can barely push the film's total box office to a height of 110 million US dollars, which is only equivalent to the first-week box office of The Day After Tomorrow.

In addition, Patriot in the third week of its release and The Truman World in its second week were also hit by The Day After Tomorrow, and the box office dropped significantly in a single week.

Two consecutive Jedi Men have been sold well, and the third film directed by him has directly achieved a breakthrough of 100 million in the first week. Michael Bay can be said to be in the limelight for a while.

On the other hand, Roland Emmerich, the director of Patriot, is in a rather awkward situation.

Everyone knows that The Day After Tomorrow was supposed to be Roland Emmerich's project, but Roland Emmerich gave up the film under the temptation of Sony's huge director salary, and chose to direct Sony Pictures instead. of Godzilla.

The lukewarmness of Godzilla directly hit the director's godhead that Roland Emmerich had just gathered, and the current Patriot is even more unsatisfactory.

Three weeks after its release, Patriot, which cost $110 million to make, only made $87 million at the box office, and its box office stamina is not as good as that of Lethal Weapon 4.

After being surrounded by paparazzi for several days and asking about his thoughts on the box office gap between Patriot and The Day After Tomorrow, Roland Emmerich simply disappeared and left Los Angeles on the grounds of vacation, no one knew where the other party was going. where.

In the past, Roland Emmerich's peak was Day of Alone, and then, after the failure of Godzilla, Roland Emmerich's performance seemed to be a bit slumped.

Years later, he reluctantly regrouped with The Day After Tomorrow, but soon fell into a big trouble with 10,000 Years Before History. Even the subsequent 2012, although the global box office was good, was mainly based on the results of doomsday marketing, and the film's reputation was not good. After 2012, Roland Emmerich's work is basically saving money for retirement.

Compared with Roland Emmerich, the commercial performance of the films directed by Michael Bay is very stable, and Eric also intends to keep the other party in the Firefly system as much as possible. Therefore, although The Day After Tomorrow has just been released, in Los Angeles, Jerry Bruckheimer has already begun to discuss new film plans with Michael Bay.

On June 12, a new week, followed by The Day After Tomorrow is a costume film called The Mask of Zorro. Eric has never been interested in Western-style costume movies, but he knows this. movie. Because the heroine of the original film was Catherine Zeta-Jones.

In memory, The Mask of Zorro seems to be a project produced by Spielberg's Amberlin Pictures, but now the film's production has become Universal Pictures.

Universal's flagship this year is Scorpion King, which is scheduled for July 17. The Mask of Zorro was released in mid-June. This schedule seems to be even hotter than The Scorpion King, but in fact, The Mask of Zorro was added to The Day After Tomorrow and The Matrix 2, it seems very embarrassing.

However, due to the change in history, the production cost of this film is only 40 million US dollars. Universal placed it between The Day After Tomorrow and The Matrix, obviously by chance, in case these two blockbusters The performance is not very satisfactory, and The Mask of Zorro can be 'picked up'.

Obviously, just judging from the box office performance of The Day After Tomorrow, this did not happen. Judging from the expectations of fans, the possibility of The Matrix 2 failure is also very low.

The reason why Eric paid attention to this was mainly because he pushed Catherine Zeta-Jones to the heroine position of the film again.
