Chapter 1131： "Vanity Fair"

Eddie, who arrived in Los Angeles first, rushed to Beverly Hills non-stop, and he made an appointment with an old friend for afternoon tea at the Hilton Hotel.

To investigate Harvey Weinstein and Disney, he must seek foreign aid.

As the editor-in-chief of the third largest newspaper in the United States, Eddie has a very wide network of contacts in Los Angeles, and he did not lose contact with him as he traveled to New York. After all, his status is much higher than before.

Eddie's old friend is a big man in Hollywood, fashion circles, and even Los Angeles as a whole-Grayton Carter, the legendary editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair" magazine, his word can determine the rise of a superstar.

Although they are nearly ten years apart from Grayton and have different hobbies, the fate is always so strange. Two people with different personalities can become good friends for many years. When Eddie was the most downhearted, he also suffered from Grayton Carter. s help.

"Hey~Gray, I haven't seen it for so long, and your hair is a lot whiter." Eddie couldn't help but shouted directly when he saw Grayton's iconic silver back.

Greyton turned his head when he heard the sound, beckoned to Eddie with a big laugh.

"Vanity Fair" is still regarded as one of the most important magazines in the United States. The content of the magazine revolves around the lives of celebrities in the film, drama, politics, and finance circles, but instead of taking the route of gossip magazines, it uses exquisite fashion reports and sharp As the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Grayton Carter naturally became the big man in the hearts of the star.

As a result, all the guests here were enjoying afternoon tea quietly. Hearing Grayton Carter's presence in the administrative corridor, which appeared to be quiet, was like smashing a boulder on a calm lake, causing ripples.

When Eddie came to the front, Grayton smiled helplessly, "You disturbed everyone's leisure time."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Eddie had time to speak, he found that there was another woman at the same table, and the middle-aged woman who seemed to have a trace of Indian descent was still an acquaintance.

With doubts, "Latika? Why are you here?"

The woman is Latika Jones, the deputy editor of Time magazine and previously served as the review editor of The New York Times.

Latika smiled gracefully, "Eddie, it’s been a long time since I have resigned in fact last year."

Eddie was shocked, "What? You resigned? Damn, why didn't I know? Bastard in the personnel department, I'm going to fire them all!"

Grayton Carter quipped, "Look, I went to New York, and I spoke with the aura of capital. Wall Street is really a temper."

Outsiders sound like mocking words, but Eddie knows that his old friend is notoriously black-bellied, which can stun his popularity if it hurts others.

It may also be influenced by his unique taste and personality. Vanity Fair magazine is also free and easy-pro-British tendencies, liberal ZZ stance, old-school Hollywood charm, mischievous style, these are all given to Vanity Fair by the outside world definition.

Eddie was speechless, "Grey, you know what I mean. I don't even know that my generals have left. If the boss didn't value me, I thought I was emptied."

Latika smiled silently, watching the conversation between the two old friends quietly.

Grayton Carter waved his hand, "I invited Latika here. You know I am going to retire."

"What?" Eddie found that he was particularly excited today, but two consecutive news that made him smack his tongue can not but be shocked.

The editor in charge of Vanity Fair for 25 years is about to retire? Once the news came out, it was not as simple as throwing rocks into the lake, but crushing a mountain.

Eddie reacted quickly, and he immediately realized what it meant for Latika Jones to appear here, "So, did you dig someone on my head?"

Grayton shrugged, "People want to look forward, and come to Vanity Fair to write an important note in Latika's life."

Eddie retorted subconsciously, "Time magazine is no worse than Vanity Fair."

Grayton said lightly, "Okay, you opened the editor-in-chief of Time, and I will ask Latica to go back and help you."

Eddie's tone was stagnant, and then he smiled bitterly, Grayton's language was still so sharp, "Well, you won."

Looking at Latika, "Anyway, congratulations to you, for being the sixth editor in chief of Vanity Fair since its inception, your name is enough to go down in history."

Latika gave full play to her female advantages, and her warm smile made people feel like a spring breeze. "Thank you for your blessing Eddie. The days in "Time" and in the new era media are also my happiest time, but I can get Grayton I can’t refuse the invitation. You know, it’s an honor for anyone to manage Vanity Fair."

Grayton still doesn't change his venomous tongue, even to his successor, "Don't take it lightly, promise me, when you are tired and want to resign, don't trouble me, I'm just a retired old man."

Eddie didn’t hold it back, he laughed'pooh haha’, and followed up the knife, “Yes, I heard that Condé Nast Group is about to lay off employees. Vanity Fair is the first target. You have to maintain with less resources. "Vanity Fair" has a journalistic tradition and continues to make its influence across Hollywood, Washington, and New York.

To be honest, Latika, it’s not too late. "

Latika is fearless, "I will try hard. For me, attending various parties is my hobby. There are not many people in the world who can use hobbies as work. I should think that happiness is ."

Grayton raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "Look, this is why I am able to do this job with Latika. She has no fear of a difficult future. I believe that with her ingenuity And curiosity will redefine "Vanity Fair" in the future."

Eddie slowly nodded, and Latika’s resume emerged in his mind: Graduated from Harvard University and received a PhD in English and Comparative Literature from Columbia University. In the past, she lived in the Z State Bay and Moscow, and lived in Moscow. She worked as an art editor in the English-language newspaper "Moscow Times", which was the beginning of her journalism career.

And Latika’s familiarity with celebrities, journalists, artists, and publishers is by no means comparable to other editors, otherwise she would not be able to serve as the deputy editor of Time.

For Vanity Fair, they need people who can exert influence in different circles. In fact, Grayton Carter is called the legendary editor-in-chief because he has gradually become the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair. Among celebrities in the circle and even in society, he has a variety of identities, including host, restaurant and movie investor. These titles can make him quite popular in DC, Hollywood and New York.

In addition, Grayton Carter sometimes jumped out and severely spotted celebrities on the stage, which made him the focus of the spotlight.

It is worth mentioning that Grayton Carter and Donald have a lot of grievances. He once publicly mocked Donald as a nouveau riche more than 20 years ago and used quite vulgar words.

This makes Tangrad, who has a vengeance, never forgotten. Since the birth of Twitter, the two have been chatting online.

Thinking of this, Eddie can’t help admiring the eyes of an old friend. Latika is probably the only successor to the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, because she has repeatedly accused Donald of discriminating against women on various occasions.

"Well, my dear Eddie, you should talk about your troubles. I don't believe that you flew all the way from the east coast to Los Angeles to accompany my retirement old man and afternoon tea." Do not forget to vomit.

Eddie has long been used to it, and he is not hypocritical. Originally, he came to ask for help. "You should have heard of it? A film about to be released by New Era Pictures..."

Grayton drank the black tea, and sneered before listening, "Is the source leaked? I can guess if I haven't heard of it, it's an old Hollywood trick."

Eddie nodded affirmatively, "Yes, but we suspect that this leak is not simple, it should be more than competition."

Grayton put down his teacup to help analyze, "It is easy to judge whether it is competition or not, as long as you see whether there are overlapping genres in the movies released in the same period."

Eddie shook his head, "No, there is no opponent who can directly compete for two weeks."

"Obviously, your judgment is correct. So, do you have any suspicions?" Grayton can only see the aura of the big figures on the cusp of the Hollywood power pyramid when he is not joking.

Eddie swept around, making sure that no one around could hear their conversation, and whispered, "I suspect Harvey Weinstein, this kind of abuse, I really can't think of anyone except him."

Grayton squeezed his chin, "It can't be too absolute, but Harvey does have suspicions."

Eddie's eyes lit up, and he was right this time, his old friend must have heard some news.

"Grey, please tell me if you have any news. Don't worry about any trouble. Even if I can't solve it, I will ask the boss to come forward." Eddie said earnestly. He didn't want his old friend to get into trouble because of his own business.

Grayton smiled, "That Chinese kid? He is very powerful, but you think too much. I hesitate because I am not sure about the truth of the news. As for the trouble? Have I caused less trouble in my life? When am I afraid? Ever?"

Eddie was speechless, "Well, when I talk too much, let's talk about you."

Greyton hummed, "Harvey jumped up and down recently, ostensibly as a PR for the film he made to hit the awards season, but as far as I know, he seems to have made some different requests."

At this time, Latika suddenly interrupted, "I have attended Hollywood parties in order to increase my exposure, and heard similar news. Many people say that the fat guy Harvey is ready to cheat again."
