The Best Director

Chapter 265 Pleasing to the eye

"One more word." On the large screen in the projection room, in the spacious and elegantly furnished room, Andrea, played by Jessica, turned around and looked at the expressionless silver demon Meryl-Shing on the sand. Tripp smiled and said: "**-u, Miranda, **-u!" Under the close-up, she turned around and walked away with a really relaxed sweet smile on her face. Behind her was Gradually blurred Miranda.

**-u This sentence is not a curse of resentment, nor a shrew cursing, but a very subtle psychology. Andrea actually understands Miranda's difficulties as a strong woman. Her previous dissatisfaction and irritability disappeared at the moment she made a life choice, but this is like saying to Miranda that "everyone loves to be flashy" This is a declaration of victory that finally overcomes herself, gets rid of Miranda and finds herself again.

What are the best words to say no to the fashion industry? Ruined its rich and elegant coat, ****.

"She's just a child." Meryl Streep always had a calm and nonchalant look on her face. She opened the magazine in her hand and said softly, "Disappointed."

Listening to the brisk soundtrack and watching the ending, Wang Yang on the seat in front of the screen also smiled, thinking to himself: "Thank you Jessica, I still chose me." Ray Pfister, soundtrack composer David Lawrence, and Mark Slanter also smiled. Soon the 10-minute video was over, and the ending song and credits appeared. Wang Yang applauded and laughed, "Very good! What do you think?"

"Very good.", "Very bang!" The three also smiled and clapped their hands, very satisfied with this work.

Mark Slanter, an outsider of the production team, also applauded and nodded. The minute was smooth and natural from beginning to end, with lighthearted humor and confused struggles. The performance was exquisite and the scenery and props were excellent. The colors of the picture were soft, refreshing, bright and full. If you want to divide it from Miracle Yang's works, it belongs to the camp of "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" and "Juno". It is really a pleasing classic movie.

"Thank you everyone, thank you Maggie!" Wang Yang looked at Margaret on the right, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses, and thanked with a serious smile, "You saved my life."

Wang Yang is very grateful to Margaret for giving him a slap in the face, otherwise the story this minute will still be the same story, but the expression of details will be very different, enough to make an a+ into a c+. And because of her responsibility and cooking, he regained his enthusiasm for conception and shooting. He did not treat it as a job or a task, but a movie. He fully supervised the completion of editing, soundtrack, and color correction. And so on for all post work.

He is very satisfied with this version. Under the fast pace, he portrays several layers of Andrea's psychological changes, Miranda, Emily and others.

He told an interesting story with an explosive ending, and at the same time said what he wanted to say and discuss. He thinks this is the ultimate in telling this type of story in a "light way". He can do it Extreme, so the mood at this time is comfortable and happy.

"You're welcome." Margaret smiled and adjusted her glasses, feeling relieved. Although there are too many unstable factors in the market, in all fairness, this is a work that meets almost all the conditions for a big sale. Not only does she think so, but everyone who has watched the theatrical version now has the idea that "this Christmas has another big box office bomb".

The big tree has been planted, and the next step is to wait for the harvest! Wang Yang patted Margaret on the shoulder, stood up, and said with a smile: "Send it to MPAA for review, but I know it must be PG."

"Of course." Everyone stood up with a smile, and left the screening room together. There was no violence, no horror, not even a kiss scene... only two forbidden swear words "**-u", otherwise they might get a G grade.

"However, relatively speaking, The Devil Wears Prada doesn't have much of your characteristics." On the way back to the office, Mark Slanter continued to comment on "Prada". Wang Yang asked with a puzzled smile, "What characteristics?" Mark Slanter mused: "It's just not that amazing. "Ghost Story" can scare people to death, "The Hangover" can laugh people to death, "District 9", "Juno", "Music Music" netbsp; Looking at Wang Yang with "worship", he said, "My boss, you can always shock people, oh my god! "Wang Yang shrugged, and Slante spread his hands and said: "But "Prada" is a bit like "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", like a glass of warm boiling water, but it is not so deeply moving. "

"What else do you want, what else do you want about it?" Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, did he really regard him as a human being? Every movie has to reach an extreme of "scaring to death", "laughing to death", or "cool to death"? Or have to reach the level of "The Godfather"? But the fact is that the movie has too many detailed types, too many sensory experiences Begging the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young master, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, the martial arts, the heavenly general, killing the gods and the seal of the gods at night, seeking the magic, proud of the world, the ninth heaven, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of Zhou, the god-making general, killing the gods and the seal of the gods, asking the demons, the world's most powerful Abandoning the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, some are extreme and cannot be given by "The Godfather" and "Shawshank Redemption". "The Devil Wears Prada" is one of the gentle and relaxed ones.

"I think the Best Picture Oscar is good." Mark Slanter also laughed, "Why not?" pretending to be puzzled: "You have Meryl Streep."

Wang Yang punched him, and said with a smile as he walked: "No, I don't care about Oscar, I won't design for it." He just wanted to make a movie that was satisfying with the impulsive mentality at the time. He said with a smile: "If you want an Oscar, you can adapt that novel into a dark story about the fashion world, where power and money lure depravity... Discussing the deepest things of human nature is not the current life choice." '."

"You still have a way to make the global box office 300 million, right?" Mark Slanter naturally understood what he meant. According to this way of thinking, it will be a completely different movie, which will win the favor of the film critics and award judges, but ordinary audiences It's hard to stay there.

"I don't know. That's not a good idea. The subject matter shouldn't be like this." Wang Yang shook his head resolutely. Of course, now that the movie is about to be released, nothing will change; He will make the same choice as the original version, making this nagging and resentful "The Devil Wears Prada" light-hearted and humorous, and he pays more attention to expressing the changes in the character's mentality.

Wang Yang also said: "Abandon the idea of ​​an art film. From a commercial point of view, you can't take it to an extreme and make it like "The Hangover" and "21." I just want to use this kind of gentle way to talk, and then explode! the-end." He patted the nodding Mark Slanter, and said with a smile: "I don't need the audience's emotional ups and downs too much, just enjoy watching the whole movie. Movie, have a nice evening, won't you? People will love it, watch it."

"I still can't think of the reason why the audience, especially the female audience, don't like it." Mark Slanter smiled, gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are right, I now think it is worth the original adaptation fee. It is 10 million, and we all have to buy that book. But I have a worry..." He said seriously: "The reaction of the film critics, they don't know whether they will accept your 'mediocre'."

The decline in word-of-mouth among film critics has been Mark Slanter’s biggest annoyance recently. Before that, flames were like Pixar. When they saw the symbol of moths, butterflies and flames on the theater screen, no matter how different the movie was, the audience knew it must be a movie. Good, good movie. But now that "Dance Out of My Life" and "Chain Saw" have suffered from the failure of film critics, the media's verbal criticism will definitely affect the judgment of some audiences, causing the brand value of "Flame" to also drop.

These voices will affect the box office, and will even affect various sales in the later period. As a company grows bigger and bigger, more and more films are released on a large scale every year. Naturally, it is difficult to guarantee that each film will win the hearts of audiences and film critics, especially for an independent film company like Flame that dares to try anything. I think maybe this is throwing away a burden, or maintaining the reputation of "flame productions, audiences will love them".

And the biggest signature character "Chairman Robber" Miracle Yang? Can he keep the double benefit? All flames tend to be able. But on the other hand, just like a basketball game, a magical superstar gets points and points in every game. The players and experts are used to him averaging 55 points per game, but suddenly there is a point, the points are not low at all, but 25 points less. What happened? The mouths of the experts will not shut.

What's more, they have a lot of grievances about the flame movie recently...Mark Slanter looked at Wang Yang's calm face, spread his hands and said, "Maybe I'm just thinking too much, anyway, I enjoyed watching it."

Wang Yang didn't speak. As far as he knows, although the 2006 version of "The Devil Wears Prada" was satirized as "a fashion show", it had 76% and 84% of the freshness of the film critics. He also has aesthetic judgments. The current " Prada is clearly better, and by no means is it a Rotten Tomatoes entry. He asked casually: "This is a good movie, why criticize it?"

"Is "Saw" a good movie?" Mark Slant asked rhetorically.

"Haha!" Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, which shows the limitations of the film critics. He is frank that he likes to praise awards, he will not dismiss film critic awards, and he always reminds himself not to get carried away with those compliments, under the beautiful butterfly m coat , to keep the heart of the original moth, Margaret saved his life; but this moth that has become beautiful will not please anyone or satisfy everyone for the sake of praise, it just continues to move towards Initially the target flies.

Wang Yang shrugged and said, "I don't care."

"Yeah." Mark Slanter nodded silently. I hope that "sa" will not happen. Since this Pokémon entered the big screen, he has not faced any real accusations. Now he says he doesn't care. If Does life really matter? But that is a small probability after all. He said with a smile: "We are too serious, those guys won't open their eyes and talk nonsense, a good movie is a good movie."

"That's not necessarily the case, "The Hangover" has a lot of criticism from film critics." Wang Yang smiled and patted him, and strode towards his office.

Completed the production of "The Devil Wears Prada" in mid-November. With its production cost set at the second highest in the personal record of 10,000 yuan, apart from some publicity for it, Wang Yang's shoulders really loosened up a lot. His thoughts on the film can all be concentrated on the preparations for the passionate "Firefly", and choosing suitable actors for the role is naturally a major focus.

He just had an idea for an important role, not the crew on the Serenity, but the number one villain of "Firefly", the secret policeman "Blue Gloves" sent by the Star Alliance to arrest Rewa.

"Blue Gloves" is actually another name for the secret police organization, because they all wore suits and leather shoes and a pair of blue gloves on their hands. , including Covenant officials". Joss Whedon's original TV script included two blue gloves for the task; now for the big screen, Wang cut it down to one.

From the perspective of behavior, Blue Gloves is a person who can't be worse. For the goal of a "brave new world", he kills people without blinking an eye. He didn't hesitate to do it, he believed that the "brave new world" was worth the death of these people, and all people and things that hindered the "brave new world" would be smashed, and the day when the brave new world really came, he only watched One look, and he'll kill himself.

This is his belief, he thinks his existence value. On the surface, Blue Glove is a running dog loyal to the Star Alliance, or he was completely brainwashed by the Star Alliance; but no, his ideas and the Star Alliance are just like-minded, so if destroying the entire Star Alliance can bring a new world, he will not Do not hesitate.

If you want to describe this character, it is like a "calm storm". There is righteousness and evil, there is a trace of absolute persistence in the calm, and a trace of kindness in the devil... This is definitely not an easy role to play. At the same time, in appearance He also needs to be tall and mighty enough, preferably handsome and majestic.

After considering many people, Wang Yang first invited Brad Pitt to audition for the role. In fact, he has always admired Brad Pitt on the screen, no matter "Interview with the Vampire" or "Fight Club". commendable. Just a number one villain who is not the protagonist, will Brad Pitt agree? He wants to try everything first.
