Chapter two hundred and sixty-fifth pleasing to the eye

Chapter 265: Pleasant

"There is another sentence." On the large screen of the screening room, in the spacious and elegantly decorated room, Andrea, played by Jessica, turned around, looked at the expressionless silver-haired magician Meryl Streep on the sofa, and smiled and said, "***-you, Miranda, ***-you!" In the close-up, she turned around and walked away with a truly relaxed sweet smile on her face, and behind her was Miranda who was gradually blurring.

***-you's words are not resentment and curses, nor shrews, but a very delicate psychology. Andrea actually understands Miranda's suffering as a strong woman. Her previous dissatisfaction and annoyance also disappeared at the moment when she made her life choices, but this is like disdain for what Miranda said, "Everyone loves glitz". She is no longer afraid of this female devil. This is a declaration of victory that finally defeats herself, gets rid of Miranda and finds herself.

What is the best thing to reject the fashion world? Destroy its gorgeous and elegant garment, ***.

"She's just a child." Meryl Streep always looked faint and indifferent. She opened the magazine in her hand and her voice was indifferent: "Disappointed."

Listening to the brisk soundtrack, watching the ending come, Wang Yang on the seat in front of the screen smiled, thinking to himself: "Thank you Jessica, I chose me." Margaret, Vale Fist, musician David Lawrence, and Mark Sloat were also smiling. Soon the 120-minute video ended, the ending song and the crew debuted, Wang Yang clapped and smiled: "Very good! What do you think?"

"Very good." "Excellent!" The three of them also smiled and applauded with their hands, very satisfied with the work.

Mark Slunt, an outsider of the production team, also applauded and nodded. The 120-minute period was smooth and natural from head to tail, with relaxed humor and uncertain struggle. The performance was exquisite in the set props, the pictures were soft and refreshing, bright and full, and the camera style was fresh and simple. The story was completely controlled by the director's perfect control. If you want to divide it from the works of magic, it belongs to the camp of "When Happiness Comes Knocking" and "Juno". It is really a pleasing classic movie.

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

Wang Yang is very grateful to Margaret for his wake-up call. Otherwise, the story of the 120-minute story would be the same, but the details would be very different, enough to make a+ change from c+. Because of her responsibilities and cooking, he regained his enthusiasm for shooting, not treating it as a job or a task, but looking at it as a movie, and fully supervising the completion of all post-production work such as editing, soundtracking, color tuning, etc.

He was very satisfied with this version. With a bright rhythm, he described Andrea's psychological changes, Miranda, Emily and others, told an interesting story with an explosive ending, and at the same time he told what he wanted to discuss. He thought this was the ultimate of "easy method" to tell this story type, the ultimate he could do, so he was in a comfortable and happy mood at this time.

"You're welcome." Margaret smiled and held her glasses, feeling relieved. Although there were too many unstable factors in the market, to be fair, this is a work that has almost all the conditions for selling well. Not only did she think so, but those who have watched this theatrical version have the idea of ​​"a box office bomb this Christmas." They all think that it has received 200 million yuan worldwide, and there is no problem with the box office of 300 million yuan.

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 smiled and said, "Send it to MPAA for review, but I know it must be pg level."

"Of course." Everyone stood up with a smile and left the screening room together. There was no violence, no horror, and there was no kissing scene... There were only two bans and swearing "***-you", otherwise they might get a g-level.

"But relatively speaking, "The Devil Wearing Prada" doesn't have much of your features." Walking back to the office, Mark Slunt continued to comment on "Prada". Wang Yang smiled in confusion: "What's the feature?" Mark Slunt said in thought: "It's just not that amazing. "Ghost Record" can scare people, "Hangover" can laugh to death, "21" is so cool that it can't be described, "The Ninth District", "Juno", "Singing and Dance"..."

He looked at Wang Yang with an admiration and said, "My boss, you can always shock people, oh my god!" Wang Yang shrugged, and Sloat spread his hands and said, "But "Prada" is a bit like "When Happiness Comes Knocks", like a cup of warm boiled water, but it is not that touching."

"What else do you want, what else do you want it?" Wang Yang couldn't help laughing. Do you really treat him as a superman? Every movie has to reach the extreme of "scared to death", "scared to death", "cool to death"? Or they all have to reach the level of "Godfather"? But the fact is that movies have too many detailed types and too many sensory feelings, some are extreme and "Godfather" and "Shawshank Redemption" cannot give. "The Demon Who Wears Prada" is a gentle and relaxed one.

"I think the best Oscars are good." Mark Slunt also laughed, "Why not" pretended to be puzzled: "You have Meryl Streep."

Wang Yang punched him, and walked and laughed, "No, I ignored Oscars and would not design them." He just wanted to shoot the mentality that had an impulsive mindset at that time and make a satisfactory movie. He smiled, "If you want an Oscar, you can adapt that novel into a dark story in the fashion world, what kind of power, money, and depravity... Discussing the deep things in human nature is not the 'life choice' that is now calm and light."

"You still have a way to make the global box office of 300 million, right?" Mark Slunt naturally understood what he meant. According to this idea, it would be a completely different movie and would be favored by the judges of the awards of the film critics, but it would be difficult for ordinary audiences to explain.

"I don't know, that's not a good idea. This subject shouldn't be like this." Wang Yang shook his head resolutely. Of course, the movie is about to be released now, and nothing will change. But if he wants to do it again, he will still make the same choice as the original version, making this nagging and resentful "The Devil in Prada" easy and humorous, and he pays more attention to expressing the changes in the characters' minds.

Wang Yang said again: "Abandoning the idea of ​​art films, from the perspective of commercial films, you can't start to an extreme and make it into "Hangover" and "21", which will mess up. This theme and content are to be talked about in this gentle way and then burst out! the-end." He patted Mark Slunt, who nodded, and smiled and said: "I don't need the audience's emotions to fluctuate too much. Isn't it good to have a happy evening? Everyone will like it, watch it."

"I can't think of the reason why the audience, especially the female audience, don't like it." Mark Slunt smiled and gave a thumbs up and smiled: "You are right. I think now that even if the adaptation fee was 10 million, we would all buy that book. But I have a worry..." He said seriously: "The reaction of the film critics, they don't know if they will accept your 'mediocre'."

The decline in reputation in the film critics is Mark Slunt's recent big trouble. Previously, the flame was like Pixar. He saw the symbol of the moth butterfly flame on the theater screen. No matter how alternative the movie was, the audience knew that it must be a good and good movie. But now, even "Dance from Life Me" and "Saw" have failed in film reviews. The criticism of the media will definitely affect the judgment of some viewers, causing the brand value of "flame" to fall.

These sounds will affect the box office and further affect various sales in the later stages. As a company becomes bigger and bigger, more and more movies are released every year. It is naturally difficult to ensure that each movie wins the hearts of the audience and the film critics. Especially an independent film company like Fire, which dares to try anything, the company meetings all think that maybe it is throwing away a burden, or maintaining the reputation of "Flame production, audiences must like it."

And the biggest signature character, "Chairman of the Money-grabbing" Shenqiyang? Can he keep a double advantage? All Flame people tend to be able. But on the other hand, just like a basketball game, a magical superstar scores 50 points and 60 points in each game. Fans and experts are used to him averaging 55 points per game. Suddenly there was a game of 30 points, which was not low at all, but 25 points were missing. What happened? The experts would not close their mouths.

More particularly, they have a lot of resentment towards the Fire Movie recently... Mark Slunt looked at Wang Yang's calm face and spread his hands and said, "Maybe I just thought too much, but I'm pleasing to the eye anyway."

Wang Yang didn't speak. As far as he knew, the 2006 version of "The Devil Wearing Prada" was satirized as "a fashion show", but it has 76% and 84% freshness in the film reviews. He also has aesthetic judgments. The current "Prada" is obviously better, and it is not a Rotten Tomatoes anyway. He asked casually: "This is a good movie, what reason is there to scold it?"

"Is "Saw" a good movie?" Mark Slunt asked back.

"Haha!" Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, which showed the limitations of the film critics. He was calm that he liked to praise the awards. He would not be disdainful of the film critics, and he always reminded himself not to be so impassive of those praises. Under the beautiful cloak of the butterflies, he should keep the heart of the initial moth. Margaret saved his life; but this beautiful moth would not have to please anyone for praise or satisfy everyone. It was just continuing to fly towards its original goal.

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

"Well." Mark Slunt nodded silently. I hope that "saw" will not happen. This Pokémon has not faced any real accusations since he stepped onto the big screen. Now he says he doesn't care. If it happens, it really doesn't matter? But that's a small probability. He smiled and said, "We're talking too seriously, and those guys won't open their eyes to tell lies. A good movie is a good movie."

"That's not necessarily the case. There are many criticisms in "Hangover"." Wang Yangha laughed and photographed him, and walked towards his office.

The entire production of "The Demon Wearing Prada" was completed in mid-November. With its production cost fixed at 55 million, the second highest personal record, in addition to its promotion, Wang Yang's shoulders were really loose. His thoughts on the film can be focused on the preparations for the passionate "Firefly", and selecting suitable actors for the role is naturally a major focus.

He just had an idea of ​​choosing an important role, not the crew member on the Serenity, but the number one villain of "Firefly", and the Star Covenant sent the secret policeman "Blue Gloves" to arrest Ruiva.

"Blue Gloves" is actually the nickname of the secret police organization, because they are all wearing suits and ties, wearing a pair of blue gloves on both hands, and the order is to "Catch Reva back, kill anyone who has had contact with her, including the Star Coalition officials." Jos Whedon's original TV script had two blue gloves performing this task; now they are going to be moved to the big screen, and Wang Yang deleted it to one.

In terms of behavior, Blue Glove is a person who is too bad to be bad. For the purpose of "a beautiful new world", he kills people without blinking. Even if he is asked to kill one million people with his own hands, he will attack without hesitation. He believes that it is worth the death of these people to exchange for a "a beautiful new world". All the people and things that hinder the "a beautiful new world" will be crushed. On the day when the beautiful new world really comes, he will only take a look, and then he will kill himself.

This is his belief, and he believes that his own value is. On the surface, Blue Glove is a lackey loyal to the Covenant, or he is completely defeated by the Covenant; but not, his philosophy is just like-minded, so if he destroys the entire Covenant, he will not hesitate to bring a new world.

If you want to describe this character, it is like a "calm storm", with both righteousness and evil spirits. There is a trace of absolute persistence in peace, and a trace of kindness under the demon... This is definitely not a role that is easy to play, and it must be tall and powerful enough in appearance, preferably handsome and charming.
