Heads Up Hollywood

In the United States, the luxury of a residence can be seen through the number of trees.

If there are no trees around the house, it must be a poor area; if there are few trees around the house, it means that the owner of the house is a low-income class.

If there are more trees around the house, which can interact with the house, it means that the identity of the owner should be very high.

If the house is located in a "forest", then the owner of the house is very powerful, and must be a rich man or a big shot. This kind of house is usually called a "manor".

The Long Island area is very expensive, and there are very few forests.

Moreover, although Anna Wintour's reputation is great, she is the queen of fashion, but her economic conditions cannot match her fame. She is just a magazine editor.

Her home... belongs to the "slum area" of Long Island, and there are no trees around.

Dunn and Sharapova got off the helicopter, and the last thing Long Island lacked was the landing pad.

With a box of small gifts, he walked to the door of the villa and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was a delicately carved young girl with a pair of crystal eyes. When she saw who was coming, she immediately screamed: "Ah! Tang En!"

Then he turned his head and shouted towards the inside: "Mom, Tang En is here!"

How can there be a little elegant look in front of the media camera?

After all, puberty girl.

Tang En couldn't help laughing, and winked at her, "I think... you are Princess Xiafu, right?"

Her name is Katherine Schaffer and she is the daughter of Anna Wintour.

In fashion circles, her mother is called "queen", so she is naturally "princess".

Catherine Schaffer lifted her skirt and curtsied gracefully, "Sir, you are welcome as a guest!"

At this time, Anna Wintour came over with a smile, "Tang En, it's a great honor for you to come to my house as a guest. Come in quickly... Oh? This is Miss Sharapova, right?"

Sharapova said in surprise: "Ma'am, do you know me?"

Anna Wintour said with a smile: "The most fashionable female player in tennis, how could I not know him? Come in!"

Catherine Schaffer blushed slightly, and took a deep look at Tang En and Sharapova.

Although she is only 17 years old and still in high school, she has already worked as an executive editor at "VOGUE" magazine, and her understanding of the fashion circle...has increased.

The fashion circle and the entertainment circle are always separated by a thin line.

Where can it go?

Seeing Tang En and Sharapova coming hand in hand, it can be seen that their relationship is very unusual.

"Bringing your lover to someone else's house as a guest is really amazing!"

Catherine Schafer stuck out her tongue as she watched the two enter the living room as if nothing had happened, thinking to herself.

At this time, Anna Wintour looked at her daughter cautiously, "Bi, pay attention to your attitude!"

Catherine Schaffer's nickname is "Bi", and she said impatiently, "I know!"

"Also, don't date him!"

Anna Wintour seemed to be worried about something, and warned in a low voice.

Catherine Shaffer blushed and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Hurry up and entertain your guests! I won't date a playboy!"

"You don't worship him?"

"Worship is worship, liking is liking, it's different!"

"It's good that you understand."

"Oh, people are waiting anxiously, you should hurry up!"

...

The living room is very spacious and the decoration is quite luxurious.

Although this is the "slum area" of Long Island, it is Long Island after all.

Housing prices are higher than in rich areas of many big cities.

"Twain, I remember...you told me that you were going to make a movie based on me." Anna Wintour eagerly invited the two to sit down.

Tang En smiled, "I've never forgotten it!"

Back then at the fashion ball at the Metropolitan Museum, Tang En told her that he wanted to put Lauren Weisberg's novel "The Devil Wears Prada" on the big screen.

The heroine prototype is Anna Wintour.

"Is there still no movement now?"

"Actually, I mentioned it last year, but this project is a bit troublesome." Tang En shook his head and did not hide it.

The proposal for the "The Devil Wears Prada" project has been submitted long ago, but it has not been officially launched for a long time. The main reason is that the director cannot be selected.

Twain has already said that this movie needs to be carefully crafted.

Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway will star, and the hit "The Wasp" Rose Byrne will be a supporting actress. Plus, angelic supermodel Gisele Bundchen will also star...

The lineup is strong.

To grasp such a strong lineup, an excellent director is essential.

But whoever the director chooses is a problem.

Big-name directors don't bother to take over the project of "The Devil Wears Prada". To put it bluntly, this is an extended version of a fashion promotional film, with no technical content or film art at all.

It's like asking a big Hollywood director to shoot a MV, it's almost impossible.

It would be inappropriate to choose a new director. It might be difficult for a new director to control so many popular female stars.

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Rose Byrne, each one is not good. In addition to Gisele Bundchen, the supermodel benchmark in the fashion industry, it is very difficult to coordinate these people.

On the other hand, Rose Byrne just finished co-shooting "Ant-Man 2" and "Avengers", very tired and needs to rest; Anne Hathaway has already taken over "Pirate League 3" and "Pirate League 4" Two big projects, two films will start shooting at the same time.

For various reasons, the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" has not been launched for a long time.

"But don't worry, when my movie... is finished next year, all the leading actors will be free. At that time, the filming of this movie will inevitably start. If there is no accident, in 2006, the movie will be released." It can be revealed."

A movie is dispensable to Twain, it doesn't matter.

But it meant so much to Anna Wintour.

Don't think she is omnipotent in the fashion circle, but most of the time, the fashion circle is just... the edge of the entertainment circle. It's like Gisele Bundchen, a supermodel on the top of the fashion circle, has to obediently play a small supporting role in the movie circle. This is still for Leonardo's sake, otherwise it will be a cameo at most.

Tang En originally thought that Anna Wintour would discuss the topic of movies, but unexpectedly, she suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, what do you think of Prada?"

"Prada?" Tang En was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "I don't know much about it. I usually wear Armani's brand, or it's custom-made clothes. But...Prada is such a famous luxury brand, it should be very good, right?"

Anna Wintour shook her head and said sternly, "Not good, very bad!"

Tang En was a little suspicious, "What do you mean?"

Anna Wintour glanced at her daughter Catherine Schafer who was obediently sitting aside and Sharapova, who was tall and outrageously tall, and said, "Bi, take Miss Sharapova to the cloakroom, you guys There should be a common language for fashion."

"All right."

Catherine Schaffer was not happy, but she had no choice but to take Sharapova away.

"Ms. Wintour, is there something wrong with you?"

"Just call me Anna."

"Okay, Anna."

Tang En smiled, the other party was really not young.

Anna Wintour said softly: "Tang En, let me be straightforward. From my observation... Of course, it is a superficial observation. The New Universal Group has a wide range of industries, from movies, to TV, and from the Internet , to TV stations, from hardware technology to software games, in addition to travel and vacation and consumer goods business. But... there is no fashion industry, right?"

"Fashion industry?" Tang En's heart jumped, he took a deep look at her, and said calmly, "The consumer goods department will also have some services for sale."

Anna Wintour said disapprovingly, "What kind of fashion is that?"

Maybe because he felt that the words were a bit too much, he added another sentence, and said with a smile: "As the richest man in the world, you can't play with those low-end clothes, right?"

"So..." Dunn paused, staring into her eyes, "You mean Prada?"

Anna Wintour said: "According to my observation, your industrial layout of New Universal Group is very broad, but they all revolve around one core theme, that is movies. Exactly, fashion is the biggest derivative product of movies! Cinema is art, but fashion is the ancestor of all art!"

Tang En laughed and said, "Isn't this sentence biased?"

Anna Wintour said as a matter of course: "Not at all! Imagine that in ancient times, apes used bark to cover their bodies. At that time, there were no arts such as painting, music, and movies, and how to use different types of leaves to design styles. Different 'clothing' is the first human art."

Tang En immediately bowed down.

incredible!

Anna Wintour continued to explain: "Clothing worn on walking, sitting and lying people is a flowing art, a soft sculpture showing our living conditions. In order to make more and more patterns of leaves and bark clothes, apes I started to write and draw on the ground with branches, which was the earliest costume design. When a costume made of leaves and bark was completed, the apes were very happy, singing and dancing together, and they came to the scene as they pleased. Pick up the branches around you and beat against the stone, so the earliest "percussion music" was born. From clothing to dance, then from dance to music, and finally gave birth to later musicals and film and television dramas."

Tang En was deeply impressed by these remarks, she was indeed the queen of fashion, not only her fashion taste was high enough, but her fashion theory was also high enough.

"New Universal Group is a group company that serves the arts. Since this is the case, why not pay tribute to the originator of art? The fashion industry will become the last link of New Universal's upstream, midstream and downstream industries with film as its core!"

Obviously, before that, Anna Wintour had done her homework.

Her words hit Tang En's heart directly.
