The Princess Diana charitable cocktail party starting from eight o'clock, spent for one hour to process the work mail in mailbox in the evening, Eric and Christina has eaten a thing together, changed the formal clothes, pinched the time five minutes to rush to the Kensington palace of close neighbor garden avenue ahead of time. 戴安娜王妃的慈善酒会晚上八点钟开始,花了一个小时处理完邮箱里的工作邮件,艾瑞克与克里斯蒂娜一起吃了点东西,换好礼服,掐着时间提前五分钟赶往紧邻花园大街的肯辛顿宫。 The night falls, is beginning the decorated lantern on, black car left the garden avenue to circle a small circle, but walked less than one kilometer to arrive at the destination. 夜幕降临,正是华灯初上,黑色轿车离开花园大街绕了一个小小的圈子,只是走了不到一公里就到了目的地。 The girl always unavoidably yearns for prince princess and so on fairy tale, although Christina is precocious, does not have the exception, therefore to can see Diana quite excitedly, for this reason meticulously has also prepared one white Chanel dinner jacket. 女孩子总是难免向往王子公主之类的童话,克里斯蒂娜虽然性格早熟,却也没有例外,因此对能够见到戴妃本人颇为兴奋,为此还精心准备了一套白色香奈儿小礼服。 After getting out, pulled the arm of Eric, Christina suddenly remembers itself to neglect a very important matter, asked in a low voice: „Eric, how waits for me to call the princess, is your highness?” 下车之后,挽起艾瑞克的手臂,克里斯蒂娜才突然想起自己忽略了一件很重要的事情,低声问道:“艾瑞克,等下我该怎么称呼王妃,是殿下吗？” Diana ‚when your highness’ name was being eliminated with the Prince Charles divorce, this girl has not paid attention to these obviously. 戴安娜的‘殿下’称谓在与查尔斯王子离婚时就被剥夺了,这妮子显然没有关注过这些。 Eric sees small appearance that Christina treats a matter seriously, wants to mislead her actually intentionally, thinks that this situation is inappropriate, then reminded: „You called her woman to be good.” 艾瑞克见克里斯蒂娜郑重其事的小模样,倒是想故意误导她一下,想想这种场合并不合适,便提醒道:“你称呼她女士就好。” Christina nods, said: „Oh, but, I think your highness politeness some.” 克里斯蒂娜点点头,还是道:“哦,不过,我觉得还是殿下更礼貌一些。” Eric smiles, said: „You said really the politeness, perhaps will not make her feel was affronted.” 艾瑞克笑笑,道:“你真这么说才是不礼貌呢,或许还会让她觉得受到冒犯。” Christina somewhat is perplexed, but fast has spat under the small tongue, gently um. 克里斯蒂娜有些不明所以,只是飞快地吐了下小舌头,又轻轻嗯了一声。 They were talking, Diana already and another wore the middle-aged person of light grey western-style clothes to welcome together. 两人交谈着,戴安娜已经和另外一个身穿浅灰色西服的中年人一起迎了过来。 „Good evening, Eric, sees you very much happily.” Arrives at the near, the Diana smiling face puts out a hand charming toward Eric. “晚上好,艾瑞克,很高兴见到你。”走到近前,戴安娜笑容迷人地朝艾瑞克伸手过来。 Eric and opposite party have grasped , the slight bow, said: „I also very much happily see you, Madame.” 艾瑞克与对方握了下,微微点头,道:“我也很高兴见到你,女士。” „Diana, called me Diana on the line,” Diana was emphasizing, looked to Christina, said: „This is?” “戴安娜,叫我戴安娜就行,”戴妃强调着,又看向克里斯蒂娜,道:“这位是？” Eric introduced simply: „She called Christina Aguilera.” 艾瑞克简单介绍道:“她叫克里斯蒂娜・阿奎莱拉。” „Hello, Tina,” Diana has also greeted with Christina, introduced middle-aged person: „Eric, this is Dodie Fay virtue.” “你好,蒂娜,”戴安娜又与克里斯蒂娜打过招呼,才介绍身旁的中年人:“艾瑞克,这位是多迪・费伊德。” Eric started to take a look at front middle-aged person a moment ago, about 40 -year-old appearances, the appearance of Arabic, although is not quite obvious, but some typical profiles between foreheads are also very easy to distinguish, because a period of time United Kingdom majority of media hotly are cooking up the Diana new affection, Eric has also understood the materials of some opposite party from newspaper. What is interesting is that Dodie the occupation that Fay virtue declared to the outside unexpectedly was movie Producer, moreover in Spielberg in several years ago that «Hook» has enrolled the executive producer. 艾瑞克刚才就已经开始打量面前的中年人,40岁左右的样子,阿拉伯裔的长相虽然不太明显,但眉宇间的一些典型特征也很容易分辨,由于最近一段时间英国大部分媒体都在热炒戴安娜的新恋情,艾瑞克也从报纸上了解了一些对方的资料。有趣的是,多迪・费伊德对外宣称的职业竟然是一位电影制作人,而且还在斯皮尔伯格几年前的那部《****船长》里挂名了执行制片。 Listens to Diana to introduce that Eric reaches out the opposite party, is smiling greeting. 听戴安娜介绍,艾瑞克向对方伸出手,微笑着打了声招呼。 Does not know is the misconception, Eric thought that Dodie Fay virtue looked that seems bringing to own vision some vigilantly, the manner is not the warm feelings. After short doubts, in the Eric heart laughs in spite of trying not, it seems like, Dodie Fay virtue will regard these to hug certain goal close Diana trillion rich and powerful people. Moreover, Eric wealth or power and influence, even if the appearance age, as if has Dodie the superiority that Fay virtue is hard to compare, the opposite party has the sense of crisis to be also unavoidable. 只是,不知道是不是错觉,艾瑞克觉得多迪・费伊德看向自己的目光中似乎带着些警惕,态度也不算热络。短暂的疑惑后,艾瑞克心中不由失笑,看来,多迪・费伊德将自己当成那些抱着某些目的接近戴安娜的亿万富豪了。而且,艾瑞克无论是财富还是权势,哪怕是外貌年龄,似乎都有着多迪・费伊德难以比拟的优势,对方产生危机感也在所难免。 Diana has not felt Dodie obviously Fay Germany's hostility to Eric, when they have greeted, everybody enters the banquet hall together, was actually guides Eric to arrive in front of a small poor box directly, then the deep blue eye pupil was looking at him sparklingly. 戴安娜明显并没有感受到多迪・费伊德对艾瑞克的敌意,等两人打过招呼,大家一起走进宴会厅,却是引导艾瑞克直接走到了一个小小的捐款箱前面,然后碧蓝的眼眸亮晶晶地望着他。 Eric smiled, felt that this frank princess actually somewhat is cute, did not mind that pulled out the check book to sign a 100,000 USD check to throw into the poor box. 艾瑞克笑了笑,感觉这位性格直率的王妃倒是有几分可爱,也不介意,掏出支票簿签了一张10万美金的支票投进了捐款箱里。 Diana and other Eric the check investment poor box, smile was saying: „Eric, generous thank you, in this world had too many people to need to help.” 戴安娜等艾瑞克将支票投入捐款箱,微笑着说道:“艾瑞克,谢谢你的慷慨,这世上有太多人需要帮助了。” „Has not related, this is I should do,” Eric nodded, disregards has just stared at afterward Dodie who his abbreviation check book is revealing to think otherwise the look Fay virtue. In the invitation of cocktail party the stipulation guest at least donates 5000 pounds, Eric also does not have the thought that the daughter abundant beautiful woman smiles, by his understanding this party, 100,000 USD, likely was this cocktail party biggest one donates. The charity kind of Western society moves as numerous as the hairs of an ox, only if there is a special goal, which rich and powerful people will otherwise not have to put out 1 million rank above donations casually, although Eric will be able to take up, but will not go to this crest of wave. “没关系,这是我应该做的,”艾瑞克点了点头,无视刚刚一直盯着他签写支票簿随后露出不以为然神色的多迪・费伊德。酒会的邀请函上规定宾客至少捐助5000英镑,艾瑞克又没有千金博美人一笑的念头,以他对这种派对的了解,10万美元,很可能就是这次酒会最大的一笔捐助了。西方社会的慈善类活动多如牛毛,除非有特别的目的,否则没有哪个富豪会随便拿出1000000级别以上的捐款,艾瑞克虽然拿得起,但也不会去出这个风头。 „, Please come with me, Eric, I introduced some guests for you, they very much anticipated that can see you,” Diana was saying, the hand signal that has made invitation, walked side-by-side with Eric, said: „Said that Eric, I am your fan Oh.” “那么,请跟我来吧,艾瑞克,我为你介绍一些客人,他们可是很期待能够看到你呢,”戴安娜说着,做了个请的手势,与艾瑞克并肩而行,顿了顿又道:“说起来,艾瑞克,我可是你的歌迷哦。” Eric heard actually Diana likes the pop music very much, this as if also advocates Prince Charles of upper circles of society recreational activity to abhor a point, heard that was happily chatting asking: „Which do you most like?” 艾瑞克倒是听说戴安娜很喜欢流行音乐,这似乎也是更崇尚上流社会娱乐活动的查尔斯王子深恶痛绝地一点,闻言笑着问道:“那你最喜欢哪一首？” Diana looks, corners of the mouth including saying with a smile: „Do you guess?” 戴安娜看过来,嘴角含笑道:“你猜猜？” „Un, «ger»?” “嗯,《ger》？” Diana shakes the head, said: „It is not, guesses again.” 戴安娜摇头,道:“不是,再猜。” „«New Divide»?” “《ne-divide》？” „This is also a very good song, but, is not,” Diana continues to deny that immediately said with a smile lightly: „Good, told you to be good directly, was «Young and Beautiful», I the feeling of liking of this song expression magnificent and vanishes, moved, was actually enchanted by.” “这也是很棒的一首歌呢,不过,也不是,”戴安娜继续否认,随即轻笑道:“好吧,还是直接告诉你好了,是《诱ng-and-beautiul》,我很喜欢这首歌表达的那种华丽而幻灭的感觉,让人伤感,却又迷醉其中。” Eric is looking at side as before most beautiful woman in full flower, has been startled, shakes the head gently, said: „No, you should not like this song.” 艾瑞克望着身旁依旧风华正茂的绝代佳人,怔了下,轻轻摇头,道:“不,你不应该喜欢这首歌的。” „, Why?” Diana has doubts very much. “啊,为什么啊？”戴安娜很是疑惑。 Eric opened mouth, shakes the head, said: „Nothing.” 艾瑞克张了张嘴,又摇头,道:“没什么。” Diana has not continued to closely examine actually, has hesitated, said: „Said that Eric, this somewhat is possibly offensive, but, waits for you for everybody to sing?” 戴安娜倒是没有继续追问,迟疑了下,道:“说起来,艾瑞克,这可能有些唐突,不过,等下你可以为大家唱首歌吗？” „If for you, naturally does not have the issue,” Eric thinks highly in a tone with nods, if others to him proposed that this request, which that is naturally cool which is treating. But he actually does not want to reject at present this woman's small request, sees on the Diana face to bring to shame intent and looks joyfully, Eric also said: „But, I have not undergone the vocal music training, the live demonstration is very bad, makes Chris come, sang that you most liked, um, «Young and Beautiful».” “如果是为你的话,当然没问题,”艾瑞克语带恭维地点头,如果是别人向他提出这种要求,那自然是哪凉快哪待着。但他却不想拒绝眼前这个女人的小小要求,见戴安娜脸上带着羞意和喜悦望过来,艾瑞克却又道:“不过,我可从来没有接受过声乐训练,现场表演可是很糟糕的,还是让克丽丝来吧,就唱你最喜欢的那首,嗯,《诱ng-and-beautiul》。” Diana just proposed when request has not hugged too in a big way expected, but, hears Eric to make Christina sing, looks to pulling a girl of Eric arm timid young girl or child who inspires tenderness appearance, in the eye is having surprised and doubts, the Christina small appearance is very difficult to believe that she can sing «Young and Beautiful» such one has filled the vicissitudes aura song. 戴安娜刚刚提出请求时就没有抱太大期望,只是,听到艾瑞克让克里斯蒂娜演唱,看向挽着艾瑞克手臂一副小鸟依人模样的女孩,眼中带着惊讶和疑惑,克里斯蒂娜小小的模样很难让人相信她可以演唱《诱ng-and-beautiul》这样一首充满了沧桑气息的歌曲。 Eric sees the Diana thoughts, explained: „Do not look down on Chris Oh, she started to perform from eight years old, by the words of art or technique of singing, she must be higher than 100 times compared with me absolutely.” 艾瑞克看出戴安娜的心思,解释道:“你可不要小瞧克丽丝哦,她从八岁就开始表演了,论唱功的话,她绝对比我要高出100倍。” „Oh, good,” Diana saw Eric saying that nodded, turns head to tell followed behind in accompanied to prepare, then also recommended important guests in this cocktail parties to Eric. “哦,那好吧,”戴安娜见艾瑞克这么说,点了点头,扭头吩咐跟在身后的随从去做准备,然后又向艾瑞克引荐了一些这次酒会上的重要宾客。 The time arrives in the evening eight o'clock quickly, in the banquet hall has probably 200 guests, Diana was Eric introduced after several guests, then arrived in the banquet hall small stage to give a speech simply, afterward the cocktail party formally started. 时间很快来到晚上八点钟,宴会厅内已经有着大概200位客人,戴安娜为艾瑞克介绍了几位客人之后,便走到宴会厅小小的舞台上简单地发表了一番致辞,随后酒会正式开始。 This type of cocktail party plans takes offering at the same time, actually provides one to expand the social occasion of oneself personal connection for the guest, Eric deals with the guest who is going forward to say something to smooth things over adeptly, this thinks that tonight will not have anything to harvest, accidentally had actually discovered makes him have the interest the goal, Simon fuller, Boss of music entertainment company. 这种类型的酒会筹取善款的同时,其实就是为宾客提供一个可以扩大自己人脉的社交场合,艾瑞克娴熟地应付着上前搭讪的客人,本以为今晚不会有什么收获,却意外地发现了一个让他产生兴趣的目标,西蒙・富勒,一家音乐娱乐公司的老板。 In perhaps the original space and time, many people have not listened to Simon fuller name, but almost nobody does not know the spice girl who is riding high combines as well as prosperous «United States Idol», but these two, are Simon fuller builds. 原时空中,或许很多人都没听过西蒙・富勒这个名字,但几乎没有人不知道红极一时的辣妹组合以及长盛不衰的《美国偶像》,而这两者,都是西蒙・富勒一手打造的。 Just, with Simon how many fuller talked, Eric was recalling the information in mind, suddenly discovered that a matter, did the spice girl combine? 只不过,与西蒙・富勒交谈了几句,艾瑞克回忆着脑海里的信息,才突然发现一件事,辣妹组合呢？ Now is in 1997, according to once history, the spice girl combined the time of soaring at this time, but at present, Eric had not actually seen any about the information that the spice girl combines. Moreover, afterward combined with the spice girl pats two powder, Simon fuller to duplicate this integrated mode, sprouted has manufactured a grade of music Reality TV Show thought that and once started , it can hardly stop, except for most visible «United States Idol», Simon fuller built ‚when Pop Idol’ competition pattern was most magnificent had presented the different editions in more than 70 countries.( To be continued.) 现在已经是1997年,按照曾经的历史,这时候正是辣妹组合一飞冲天的时刻,但眼下,艾瑞克却没有看到过任何关于辣妹组合的信息。而且,正是后来与辣妹组合一拍两散,西蒙・富勒为了复制这一组合模式,才萌生了制作一档音乐真人秀节目的念头,并且一发不可收拾,除了知名度最高的《美国偶像》,西蒙・富勒打造的‘流行偶像’选秀模式最为辉煌时曾经在70多个国家出现过不同的版本。(未完待续。)
