Chapter 715 第715章 Two car one after the other shuttle back and forth on the Eath Hampton narrow asphalt road, stops to a manor of Eath Hampton south seaside outside, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista came out from two car(riage)s respectively, arrive at outside the front door of manor to press the doorbell, waited for the moment patiently, broadcast the sound that a woman inquired. 两辆轿车一前一后地穿梭在东汉普顿狭窄的柏油路上,一直到东汉普顿南部临海的一栋庄园外停下,辛迪?克劳馥和琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔分别从两辆车内出来,走到庄园的大门外按了按门铃,耐心地等了片刻,才传来一个女人询问的声音。 Notified the name, the front door opened to about automatically, their two returned to the vehicle once more, advanced the manor car. 通报了姓名,大门向左右自动打开,她们两个再次回到车上,将轿车开进了庄园内部。 Bypasses the s cement road, stops before the western-style style luxurious villa. 绕过s型的水泥甬道,停在欧式风格的豪华别墅前。 A middle-aged maid walked, when they get out, the politeness said: „Miss Crawford, Miss Evangelista, please come with me.” 一个中年女佣走了过来,等两人下车,礼貌地说道:“克劳馥小姐,伊万戈琳斯塔小姐,请跟我来吧。” Two females take the satchel to follow in the maid behind, Cindy Crawford asked that the maid said: „Eric?” 两女拿着挎包跟在女佣身后,辛迪?克劳馥问女佣道:“艾瑞克呢？” „Mr. Williams is accompanying the madames and children draws the Easter egg,” that maid answered one, two female introduction villa living rooms, told that another young maid helps them make the coffee, walks toward the backyard. “威廉姆斯先生在陪夫人和孩子们画复活节彩蛋,”那女佣答了一句,将两女引入别墅客厅,吩咐另外一个年轻些的女佣帮两人冲咖啡,朝后院走去。 Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista heard the words of maid, the expression move slightly, have looked at each other one, actually simultaneously shunt. 辛迪?克劳馥和琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔听到女佣的话,表情微动,对视了一眼,却又同时闪开。 Informs them to come New York to start from Eric, they realized that the position of «America's Next Top Model» director greatly could produce between their two very much, although has been short of three competitors, among them the secret smell of gunpowder has instead enriched, at this time merely is only maintaining the politeness in surface. 从艾瑞克通知她们来纽约开始,两人就意识到,《全美超模大赛》主持人的位置很大可能就要在她们两个之间产生了,虽然少了三个竞争对手,两人之间暗暗的火药味反而更加浓了一些,此时仅仅只保持着表面上的客气。 However, those words that the maid not minces, made distances between two females haul in bewilderedly once more. 不过,女佣毫不掩饰的那句话,却让两女之间的距离莫名其妙地再次拉进了一些。 Looks at not far away to the young maid of coffee, Cindy Crawford is collecting to say in a low voice: „How much money do you think this manor?” 看着不远处正在冲咖啡的小女佣,辛迪?克劳馥凑过来低声道:“你觉得这栋庄园得多少钱？” „20 million. Who knows. We cannot afford in any case.” Linda Evangelista as if careless said that the situation at heart when actually remembering just drove enters manor to see, this manor was only the front courtyard has 56 acres size merely, behind has not known that any situation, according to the pattern of seaside, should have the personal sand beach, calculated that absolutely over 20 acres. Is equal to eight hectares area. “20000000吧。谁知道呢。反正我们也买不起。”琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔似乎漫不经心地说道,心里却想起刚刚开车进入庄园时看到的情形,这栋庄园仅仅只是前院就有56英亩大小,后面还不知道什么情形呢,按照临海的格局,应该还有私人沙滩,算下来,绝对超过20英亩。相当于八公顷的面积。 Although their two are the high income social strata, but such manor, even if clenches teeth to buy, definitely cannot raise. Let alone, the Eath Hampton manor is not you wants to buy can buy, United States has the unique block autonomy system, exchanging ownerships of real estate, not only wants the round turns to come to an arrangement about the price, the buyer also needs the real estate other residents in block to approve. The Eath Hampton resident is not rich merchant great merchants is the politician celebrities, they two status want to push in this circle is actually not that easy matters. 虽然她们两个算是高收入阶层,但这样的庄园,即使咬咬牙买下来,也肯定养不起。更何况,东汉普顿的庄园可不是你想买就能买的,美国有着独特的街区自治制度,一处房产的易主,不但要买卖双方谈妥价格,买家还需要房产所在街区的其他居民认可。东汉普顿的居民不是富商巨贾就是政客名流,她们两个的身份想要挤入这个圈子却不是那么容易的事情。 The maids carry the coffee to them. The politeness inquired that they also do have other invitations, sees them to shake the head. Then gets out of the way. 女佣给两人端上咖啡。礼貌地询问她们还有没有其他邀请,看到两人摇头。这才走开。 In the living room fell into the short peace, Cindy Crawford sipped coffee, turned head to look at the glass door to backyard, thinks that signaled with the eyes toward Linda Evangelista, stands up walks toward that side softly. 客厅里陷入短暂的安静,辛迪?克劳馥啜了一口咖啡,扭头看了看通往后院的玻璃门,想了想,朝琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔使了个眼神,站起身轻手轻脚地朝那边走去。 Linda Evangelista thought that the Cindy Crawford action is somewhat improper, but she has hesitated slightly, cannot bear curiosity at heart, set out the past. 琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔觉得辛迪?克劳馥的举动有些不妥,但她稍微迟疑了下,就没能忍住心里的强烈好奇心,跟着起身走了过去。 They stand after the glass door shoulder to shoulder, looks toward the backyard. 两人并肩站在玻璃门后,朝后院望去。 First the one who introduces the view is a swimming pool, this is Biao Pei of many United States garden , to continue to look toward the distant place, the white cement road, side is the pocket-sized children's amusement park, other one is the lawn, in the lawn is setting out a table, above is piling up various colorful small things, 67 large and small forms encircle near the table, just greeted their maids to stand, puts on Eric of leisure sportswear to search the tabletop, is kissing the opposite woman and child affectionate. 首先引入眼帘的是一个游泳池,这是很多美国庭院的标配,继续朝远处看去,白色的水泥路,一边是袖珍的儿童游乐场,另外一遍是草坪,草坪上摆着一张桌子,上面堆放着各种花花绿绿的小物件,67个大大小小的身影围在桌边,刚刚迎接她们的那个女佣站在旁边,穿着休闲运动装的艾瑞克正探过桌面,亲昵地吻着对面的女人和孩子。 Eric had child's matter to many people are not the secret, but, their two are actually first time sees. 艾瑞克已经有孩子的事情对很多人来说都不是什么秘密,不过,她们两个却都是第一次见到。 According to the past experience, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista thought that Eric definitely will make every effort to keep secret to the matter of illegitimate child, even did not acknowledge the illegitimate child female status like many trillion rich and powerful people. But the present picture completely has actually subverted the cognition in their impression, even if away from far away, they can also that affectionate interaction from Eric and child, realized that he is being a competent father. 按照以往的经历,辛迪?克劳馥和琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔都觉得,艾瑞克肯定会对私生子的事情讳莫如深,甚至像很多亿万富豪那样根本不承认私生子女的身份。但眼前的景象却完全颠覆了她们印象中的认知,即使隔着老远,她们也能够从艾瑞克与孩子之间那种亲昵的互动,意识到他真的是在做一个称职的父亲。 The train of thought absent-minded the moment, Cindy Crawford has taken back the vision, the line of sight has swept side luxurious western-style villa, sighed lightly: „Really is depressing, our trying hard works for a lifetime, might as well lives a child.” 思绪恍惚了片刻,辛迪?克劳馥收回目光,视线扫过身边这栋豪华的欧式别墅,轻叹道:“真是让人沮丧啊,我们努力工作一辈子,还不如生个小孩子。” The voice just fell, Cindy Crawford suddenly sobers, looked at Linda Evangelista, two pairs of beaux yeuxes just ran upon, Cindy Crawford notes the Linda Evangelista vision to glitter shunting, immediately realized that she definitely also has had and similar idea, this makes her relax immediately, so is no longer afraid. 话音刚落,辛迪?克劳馥就猛然清醒过来,看了眼琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔,两双美目刚刚撞上,辛迪?克劳馥就注意到琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔的目光闪烁着躲开,顿时意识到,她心里肯定也冒出了和自己同样的想法,这让她顿时松了口气,不再那么心虚。 Does not dare to peep again, under they returned to the sofa to be implicated together silent. 不敢再偷窥下去,两人一起沉默地回到了沙发旁坐下。 ...... …… In the backyard lawn, Eric is holding Hawaii to paint pictures, Bing Bao who toward the egg on hears the maid, sits showed the whites of the eyes in opposite Virginia immediately: „You may be really busy, one basket of eggs have not drawn to end, ran several.” 后院草坪上,艾瑞克正抱着夏威夷往鸡蛋上画画,听到女佣的禀报,坐在对面的维吉尼娅立刻翻了个白眼:“你可真忙,一筐鸡蛋没画完,就跑出去好几趟了。” „I do not want to accompany your a while at home, will work to place here, but I ensure this was the last time, tomorrow some Easter people will again definitely not disturb,” Eric let loose Hawaii with a smile, looks at the Virginia depressed appearance, setting out both hands supports the tabletop to poke head in as before: „Come, the treasure, making Papa cherish one's relatives.” “我不也是想要在家多陪你们一会儿,才将工作放在这里嘛,不过我保证,这是最后一次了,明天复活节肯定不会有人再来打扰,”艾瑞克笑着将夏威夷放开,看着维吉尼娅依旧闷闷不乐的样子,起身双手撑着桌面探过头去:“来,宝贝,让爸爸亲亲。” Was saying, Eric actually collects toward the Virginia cheek on. 这么说着,艾瑞克却是朝维吉尼娅脸蛋上凑过去。 „Your this good-for-nothing, takes my advantage,” Virginia was saying, leaned the cheek to make Eric kiss, held up the bosom Kevin. “你这个坏家伙,又占我的便宜,”维吉尼娅这么说着,还是侧过脸蛋让艾瑞克亲了一下,又举起怀里的凯文。 Eric has kissed on the son tender cheek similarly, takes back the body, nearby Emma jumped to collect: „Papa Papa, I must kiss.” 艾瑞克同样在儿子嫩嫩的脸蛋上亲了下,收回身子,旁边的艾玛蹦跳着凑了过来:“爸爸爸爸,我也要亲。” „Good,” Eric has also kissed on the Emma cheek, also gathers side Joanna, plan without bias and without favor. “好,”艾瑞克在艾玛脸蛋上也亲了下,又凑到乔安娜身旁,打算不偏不倚。 Was one's turn Hawaii, the young miss has blinked several big eyes fast, as if, this is gets rid draws egg bored action at present the good opportunity. 轮到夏威夷,小姑娘快速眨巴了几下大眼睛,似乎,这可是摆脱眼前画鸡蛋这种无聊举动的好机会呢。 Whatever Eric has kissed on own cheek under. The young misses extended the small hand to draw the Eric sleeves immediately: „Papa. Can I with you together the receiving guests person?” 任由艾瑞克在自己脸蛋上亲了下。小姑娘随即伸出小手拉了拉艾瑞克衣袖:“爸爸。我可以和你一起去见客人吗？” Eric has not replied. Joanna has rubbed the small head of Hawaii, said with a smile: „This is not good, treasure, Papa has very important matter to discuss.” 艾瑞克还没答话。乔安娜揉了揉夏威夷的小脑袋,笑道:“这可不行,宝贝,爸爸有很重要的事情要谈。” When Hawaii recalled under Emma to act like a spoiled brat the appearance, drew the Eric sleeves to shake shaking once more, the sound was light, the eye shone: „Papa, I am only a child. Anything does not understand, will not disturb you to discuss the matter.” 夏威夷回忆了下艾玛撒娇时的模样,拉着艾瑞克的衣袖再次晃了晃,声音轻嫩,眼睛忽闪:“爸爸,我只是小孩子。什么都不懂呢,不会打扰你们谈事情的。” „......” Eric hears Hawaii these words, shows a speechless expression of face. “呃……”艾瑞克听到夏威夷这句话,露出一脸的无语表情。 The scene silent a half second, Virginia, Joanna and Eva almost simultaneously haha have smiled. 场面沉默了半秒钟,维吉尼娅、乔安娜和爱娃几乎同时哈哈笑了起来。 Eva has patted on the tabletop elatedly two, puts out a hand to grasp Hawaii, on the young miss cheek rubs randomly: „Haha, ha, you did not think that just those words exposed oneself, small spirit.” 爱娃乐不可支地在桌面上拍了两下,伸手过来抱住夏威夷,在小姑娘脸蛋上一阵乱揉:“哈哈,哈哈哈,难道你不觉得刚刚那句话把自己暴露了吧,小妖精。” „Aiya, Aunt Eva is really repugnant. Cannot rub others cheeks, otherwise I can shut out your Oh with Mama.” Hawaii digs up to draw paternal aunt's arm, threatens to say in a seductive voice. “哎呀,爱娃姑姑真讨厌。不许揉人家脸蛋,否则我会和妈妈一起嫌弃你哦。”夏威夷扒拉着姑姑的手臂,娇声娇气地威胁道。 „Wow, this threat was really too ruthless, making Aunt Eva rub again.” “哇哦,这个威胁真是太狠了,让爱娃姑姑再揉揉。” „, Lets loose, otherwise I bit you.” “呀,放开,不然我咬你了啊。” „Good, do not make, Xiaxia, comes to Mama here, cannot disturb Papa.” “好了好了,你们不要闹了,夏夏,来妈妈这里,不许去打扰爸爸。” The merriment, Joanna then came out to mediate, drives out oneself younger sister, hugs the daughter in the bosom, waved toward Eric, making him go busily. 笑闹了一阵,乔安娜这才出来打圆场,轰开自己妹妹,将女儿抱在怀里,朝艾瑞克挥了挥手,让他去忙。 Drew a while painted eggshell, on Eric many have moistened some dyes, has changed clothes in a hurry, has washed washing the hands, this went to the living room. 画了一会儿彩蛋,艾瑞克身上多少沾了些染料,匆匆换了身衣服,又洗了洗手,这才来到客厅。 „Cindy, Linda, was really sorry that can only make you come personally.” Eric hugged with two females, said. “辛迪,琳达,真是抱歉,只能让你们亲自过来一趟。”艾瑞克与两女拥抱了下,说道。 „Has not related, in any case we are not too busy,” Cindy Crawford is smiling replying. “没关系啊,反正我们也不是太忙,”辛迪?克劳馥微笑着答道。 Eric nodded, said: „Comes to the study room with me, we go to there to discuss.” 艾瑞克点了点头,道:“跟我来书房吧,我们去那里谈。” Under arrives at the study room, Eric extracts two to prepare the good document from the bookshelf, the desk is implicated, looks that sits is leading some disturbed two females in the opposite expression, said with a smile: „Now does not need to be worried, originally only then a manufacture plan of «America's Next Top Model» grade of program, but, I had had recently an idea, therefore, you can be worked.” 来到书房,艾瑞克从书架上抽出两份准备好的文件,书桌旁坐下,看着坐在对面表情中带着些许忐忑的两女,笑道:“现在不用担心了,本来只有《全美超模大赛》一档节目的制作计划,不过,我最近又冒出了一个想法,所以,你们两个都能得到工作。” Cindy Crawford receives some at sixes and sevens thoughts of a moment ago having, spunks up saying: „Eric, you said that Firefly does plan to manufacture two grades of fashion Reality Show?” 辛迪?克劳馥收起刚才产生的一些乱七八糟的念头,打起精神道:“艾瑞克,你是说,萤火虫打算制作两档时尚真人秀？” „Yes,” Eric nods, said: „Among your five people, I thought that only then you are more appropriate, now only the remaining issues, which work are you separately accept the matter.” “是的,”艾瑞克点头,道:“你们五个人当中,我觉得只有你们两个更加合适一些,现在只剩下一个问题,就是你们两个分别接受哪一份工作的事情。” Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista have looked at each other one, has not spoken, waited for that Eric continues. 辛迪?克劳馥和琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔对视了一眼,都没有说话,等待艾瑞克继续下去。 „«America's Next Top Model» this project you knew, therefore I said first another idea, this similarly is a grade of competition program, but, the object of competition actually no longer is professional model, but is the fashion designer, therefore, this grade of program names as «Project Runway» initially.” “《全美超模大赛》这个项目你们已经知道了,所以我先说说另外一个想法,这同样是一档选秀节目,不过,竞赛的对象却不再是模特,而是时装设计师,所以,这档节目的初步命名为《天桥骄子》。” Linda Evangelista hears saying: „Eric, «America's Next Top Model» is better, but the specialization of fashion design was too strong, will some people like looking?” 琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔闻言道:“艾瑞克,《全美超模大赛》还好一些,但时装设计方面的专业性太强了,会有人喜欢看吗？” Eric had not replied, but asked: „Have you thought the foundation by individual brand of your name name?” 艾瑞克没有回答,而是问道:“你们两个有想过创建以自己名字命名的个人品牌吗？” „Un, has, was only too has been busy.” Cindy Crawford replied. “嗯,有过,只是一直太忙了。”辛迪?克劳馥答道。 „I have thought makes a perfume brand,” Linda Evangelista shrugs saying that the experience that obviously that thought brings is not happy. “我想过做一个香水品牌,”琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔耸耸肩道,显然那个念头带来的经历不怎么愉快。 Eric said: „This was not right, the present entertainment world, like you, slightly the people of some fame, likes promoting own individual brand. Then, regarding more average people, they definitely also has such idea, this is the audience foundations of our grade of program, naturally, some other audience foundations, are to the fashion very sensitive metropolis female, because «Project Runway» will broadcast in l Internet Explorer time TV Station of ae TV Network that this TV Station main target audience is the young woman.” 艾瑞克道:“这不就对了,现在的娱乐圈,就像你们一样,稍微有些名气的人,都喜欢推出自己的个人品牌。那么,对于更多的普通人来说,他们肯定也有过这样的想法,这就是我们这档节目的观众基础,当然,另外一部分观众基础,还是对时尚非常敏感的都市女性,因为《天桥骄子》将在ae电视网旗下的lietime电视台播出,这家电视台主要的目标观众就是年轻女性。” „That, I...... Can we have a look first?” Cindy Crawford has referred to the document in Eric hand, is probing asking. “那,我……我们可以先看看吗？”辛迪?克劳馥指了指艾瑞克手中的文件,试探着问道。 Eric is pressing two documents, said: „These have not much to do with the program, is only some approximate budget formulations of project, concrete program form, but also needs you to ponder over.” 艾瑞克按着两份文件,道:“这些跟节目没有太大关系,只是项目的一些大致预算方案,具体的节目形式,还需要你们自己去琢磨。” Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista have doubts once more, Eric does not let them be the director, sounds, is more like Producer? 辛迪?克劳馥和琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔再次疑惑起来,艾瑞克难道不是让她们担任主持人吗,怎么听起来,更像是制作人呢？ „Is this,” Eric continues saying: „Originally my some idea about «America's Next Top Model», but, I change the idea now, I planned that gives you to do these two projects completely, I am only responsible for carrying on the overall situation to check.” “是这样的,”艾瑞克继续说道:“本来我有一些关于《全美超模大赛》的构思,不过,现在我改主意了,我打算将这两个项目完全交给你们俩来做,我只负责进行全局把关。” „Eric, I am not quite clear,” Cindy Crawford said that she is not clear, but is some cannot believe. “艾瑞克,我不太明白,”辛迪?克劳馥道,她不是不明白,而是有些不敢相信。 Eric said: „You definitely understand that my meaning i.e., you will hold the post of «America's Next Top Model» and «Project Runway» director and Producer separately.” 艾瑞克道:“你肯定明白的,我的意思就是说,你们两个将分别担任《全美超模大赛》和《天桥骄子》的主持人兼制作人。” Although Linda Evangelista covets to Producer this title, but she is clear her ability, said: „Eric, I...... Probably does not know how should do.” 琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔虽然对制作人这个头衔非常眼热,但她却清楚自己的能力,道:“艾瑞克,我……好像根本就不知道该怎么做啊。” „, Said that first your rewards,” Eric smiled, said: „As Producer of two grades of programs, you will obtain «America's Next Top Model» and 10% of «Project Runway» net profit, as for this 10% can have many finally, looked you program was splendid enough.” “那么,先说说你们的报酬吧,”艾瑞克笑了笑,道:“作为两档节目的制作人,你们将获得《全美超模大赛》和《天桥骄子》净利润的10%,至于这10%最终能有多少,就看你们将节目制作的够不够出色了。” „Eric, do we need to participate in investment?” Cindy Crawford item luminous, asked. “艾瑞克,我们需要参与投资吗？”辛迪?克劳馥目光亮了起来,问道。 „Naturally does not use, Firefly will provide the manufacture budget of 20 million USD for each project, you do not need to participate in the investment.” “当然不用,萤火虫将为每个项目提供2000万美元的制作预算,你们不用参与投资。” „We need to make anything,” Linda Evangelista because also 10% net profits were divided to raise the spirit, although Eric said that will give them to do two projects completely, so long as there are him to check personally, Linda Evangelista knows that the risks of these two grades of programs will fall to absolutely are very low, even if could not achieve the «Survivor» such terrifying viewing ratio and profit, but the commercial repayment also absolutely was very objective. “那我们需要做什么,”琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔也因为10%的净利润分成提起了精神,虽然艾瑞克说会将两个项目完全交给她们来做,但只要有他亲自把关,琳达?伊万戈琳斯塔知道这两档节目的风险绝对会降到很低,即使达不到《幸存者》那样恐怖的收视率和利润,但商业回报也绝对是非常客观的。 „This was with emphasis,” Eric smiled, said: „ Do not think this 10% gain sharing can take is very relaxed, reason that gives you these two projects, is mainly because I am not many regarding the understanding of fashion, but you stayed in this circle these many years, knows very well all rules, has enough vision and story, therefore, Firefly, although will provide part of staff, but the Lord about specialized aspect creates the secondary roles, actually needs you to build. „( To be continued.) “这就是重点了,”艾瑞克笑了笑,道:“不要以为这10%的利润分成会拿的很轻松,之所以将这两个项目交给你们,主要是因为我对于时尚界的了解并不多,而你们两个又在这个圈子里呆了这么多年,熟知所有规则,拥有足够的眼光和阅历,所以,萤火虫这边虽然会提供一部分工作人员,但关于专业方面的主创班底,却需要你们自己去搭建。“(未完待续。)
