The Best Director

Chapter 213 Are you ready? (begging for a monthly pass)

Time soon entered May, and after more than a month of busy work, the theatrical version of "-21-em" was finally edited. The movie itself is 118 minutes long, plus the opening and closing credits, a total of 125 minutes. Wang Yang is very satisfied with this theatrical version, the rhythm is very lively all the way, even if he is not excited and excited, he will not be bored, but he himself thinks it is very flavorful, genius, smart, cunning, professional...

However, Margaret Goodspeed said that many times she felt overwhelmed. As a 100% audience, she would peck and think about the problems brought up by the film, but forgot to follow up the plot. For example, she was entangled in the paradoxical issues in the bar section at the beginning, and they would continue to emerge later. She felt that most of the audience would do the same, and there were many, many things that caused pecking.

After watching this movie created by two people, her overall feeling of watching the movie is that the holy king of Wudong Qiankun made the holy king, the king will kill the gods at night, and the seal of the gods will be the throne. The throne seeks the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young master, the royal family of Zhou, the martial arts general, kills the gods and gods at night Forcibly abandoning the young Da Zhou royal family is: "Very dangerous."

The story is interesting, the characters are cool, the camera is the fast and sharp editing style of U1 film, but many scenes slow down, beautiful and delicate, and worth tasting; However, it is difficult to forget some scene dialogues, such as the opening bar, Jeff Ma learning card counting... Although I can't remember each line in detail, I deeply remember how that long paragraph happened.

For a commercial film with a production cost of 10,000 yuan, it is indeed different, so different that it will be labeled as a u1 film; as a gambling film, she studied a lot of gambling films before editing, and it is also novel It is unique, and the card counting has humiliated previous movies including "The Hangover". But she still feels very dangerous, because this movie is just like Fantastic Young, very smart and sharp.

If "-21-em" is cut into a stable commercial film, maybe the film critics will say "it's quite satisfactory, a popcorn movie with some entertainment value", but she is sure that the movie tickets will not fail to sell. With Yang's fame and the promotion of "Oscar's Best Director's New Work", it is no problem to collect around 200 million at the global box office, and it will not be said to be bad.

Now there are many more risks. Will the audience like the sharpness of the show? She didn't know that she had seen many movies like that sinking into the sea; some of them were suddenly rated as classics later on;

Miracle Yang is just a 23-year-old young man, and it is normal to be sharp and determined. Margaret is a little emotional. After editing movies with him for several years, this guy’s style is always changing. Such a frequent scene lasts for two seconds. Switching, there are many long shots and slow shots,

The structure is reversed and there are many flashback montages... a weird movie!

She feels like in an oriental movie, the swordsman and swordsman are engaged in a fierce battle, the bang bang bumps and bumps make people breathless, the camera stops suddenly, and freezes with a distant scene, the two swordsmen and swordsmen are also at each other Not moving, but the wind blows their heads. Of course, "-21-em" is a modern film full of campus and casino atmosphere.

"In fact, I think it is like this, the story should be like this, I want to make it like this! Every movie is a kind of telling, the filmmaker's telling to the audience, so the feelings of the audience should be considered Create a holy king, kill the gods and seal the throne at night, seek the devil, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of Zhou, kill the gods and seal the throne at night, seek the magic, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man, the king of Zhou Begging the devil, the world-defying nine heavens, the strongest abandoned young master, the Great Zhou royal family, the God-maker, killing the gods at night, and the throne of the gods Really group. I don’t pursue either, I like what the audience likes. And now, I think this way of telling is the best, it’s what it is, if it’s not like this, then it’s not what it is.”

Hearing what Wang Yang said, Margaret could only nod. This movie has his magical name, and at worst it will not lose money. If there is no unstable factor of the Chinese male lead, it is even more certain that Zhou will be big. Sell. But what about the second week? What about the critics? What kind of result will it be?

"Yes, it's finished!" On the balcony under the night, Wang Yang leaned on the railing and looked at the dark sky in the distance. It’s a wonderful world frame by frame.” Natalie over there said with interest: “Then when can I see it? I’m really looking forward to it! What does it look like?”

"Margaret speaks fast, oppressive... well, I think you will know when you see it, and you will see it." Wang Yang smiled, full of confidence in his heart, and said to her: "There is no soundtrack tone yet. Oh! Daniel also needs dubbing, and I’ll show you after everything is done. But there will be a preview trailer coming out in a few days, with no content, haha!” Natalie said indignantly: “Why don’t I need dubbing?”

"Because you don't need a dubbing." Wang Yang added a sentence, remembering a question he hadn't asked for a long time, and asked, "How is your studies? Can you graduate smoothly?" Natalie over there suddenly said angrily: " No problem! I will be able to graduate smoothly in June! Follow your orders at any time!"

Wang Yang knew that she was referring to the promotional release of "-21-em", he said with a smile: "Aren't you going to shoot "Star Wars Episode 3"? Could it be that you were fired?" Natalie laughed and said: " It's not my personal show, I can spare time to cooperate with the publicity. But I have a question, should we go to Asia now?"

Speaking of this matter, Wang Yang's face darkened. The crew's plan to go to Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan for publicity in the summer may have to be cancelled. Mainland China is the hardest-hit area, and now the epidemic has further spread on a large scale. Many places in Asia have been included in the travel ban by the World Health Organization. It is not known when the epidemic will end.

For this disaster, his charitable foundation is doing a little bit. He is also very eager to take "-21-em" to China to meet movie fans, but this situation cannot be done. If the ban is lifted when the epidemic is over in August, he thinks he will still go there. Of course, strict health checks will be required. Thinking of this, Wang Yang couldn't help sighing, this year is really not reassuring! Hope all these unpleasant things end soon!

"We'll see the situation at that time. If the situation permits, at least I will go." Wang Yang's tone was very serious. He would not force anyone to follow him, nor would he force him to. In the disaster area, her body immunity is weaker than that of ordinary people, and it is easy to catch common colds; while he has not caught a cold for several years.

Natalie hummed in a low voice. This kind of unpredictable thing can only be watched quietly. She changed the subject and said, "Are you going to make a new movie soon? It's crazy."

"Yes, "The Devil Wears Prada" will be launched in two days." Wang Yang stopped thinking about those heavy things, thinking about starting the machine immediately, glanced at the bedroom, and said softly: "Say Really, my enthusiasm for this movie has not reached its peak.” Of course, he has interest and feelings for this story, and he has a clear idea of ​​the theme, otherwise he would not pick up the microphone, just like "Honey".

However, if there is one input into the ranking, "District 9" is the top one so far, and "The Devil Wears Prada" is temporarily at the bottom. He really misses the days when he made "District 9", although he often Depressed mood.

"But I will not be sloppy." Wang Yang said something to the phone, as if making a promise to himself: "The less enthusiastic you are, the more serious you are! And you have to find it! I will be very strict, very strict!" Natalie over there laughed, as if to say "I know what you're thinking", she laughed and said, "Whatever! It's not me acting, just tell Jessica."

"I'll tell you right now!" Wang Yang walked back into the bedroom and said with a serious smile, "Hurry up and write your paper! Inner-inner, ien-nner!" Natalie also laughed and said, "inner -inner, ien-nner!"

"The Devil Wears Prada" is now in proper preparations, and one of the key tasks in the preparation is the fashion and luxury items in the film.

Even if you want to avoid being a fashion show, Miranda, Andrea, etc. can't wear ordinary clothes and use ordinary handbags. -Field puts it: "Miranda needs to dress with great savvy and poise that makes it obvious that she's the boss."

Patricia Field is the costume designer of the popular TV series "Desire for the City". She knows a lot of people in the time circle and can win over many fashion designers to agree that their clothes, accessories, shoes and bags appear in the movie. Even lent a limited edition bag to the crew.

But it is worth mentioning that as early as Flame Movie announced that "The Devil Wears Prada" would be put on the big screen, Anna Wintour warned people in the fashion industry not to participate in the filming of this movie. She is the editor of "Vgue" magazine. The editor-in-chief of the American edition, the former boss of Lauren Weisberg, the icon of the fashion circle, and the prototype of Miranda. However, after Wang Yang announced to direct, Flame Movie and Patricia Field successfully invited many celebrities in the fashion industry to design clothes for the film, including Valentino, "Wedding Dress Lady King" Vera Wang...

Seeing this situation, she deserves to be called "The Devil Wears Prada". Anna Wintour immediately changed her attitude and expressed her willingness to participate in the screening of the movie.

And the crew got the sponsorship of Prada, as well as brands such as , enne-ed, -en, etc. Patricia Field was naturally very happy, especially Wang Yang's words "don't worry about the budget, the effect shall prevail", she You can design clothes for Jessica, Meryl Streep and others as much as you want, of course you won’t really spend much. The budget for the costume production of the whole movie is at least 10,000. However, compared to the average 10,000 for other urban films, this figure is already very expensive.

Now these luxury costumes, as well as other props in the movie, office scenes, etc., are all ready to start. There are two main sets in New York and the green screen in the Toronto studio. The expected shooting time is one and a half months. At the same time, Wang Young is also following up on the soundtrack for "-21-em," this time with Christopher Baker.

"Beauty, what are you doing?" Wang Yang walked into the bedroom with his mobile phone, came to the computer desk, and kissed Jessica who was sitting on the chair. Jessica held the mouse with her right hand, looked at the computer screen, smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just watching the gossip news, Joshua just texted to say something... oh! He was on the gossip news: Gilmore girl is in love ..."

Wang Yang suddenly looked at the screen curiously, and saw that the picture showed Joshua and Alexis walking on the street, and there were some very intimate jokes waiting for photos. He laughed haha, and the two really started Trying to go, Joshua naturally said, "It feels good!" Wang Yang put his shoulders on her shoulders, and smiled triumphantly: "Do you know? I taught him how to chase girls, and he just did it this time." In love, he belongs to later netbsp; "I taught him how to attract girls' attention, how to tell jokes, how to give a sense of security..." Wang Yang said a few words casually, watching Jessica scroll through the photos on the screen , said with emotion: "I racked my brains for him, and then he did a good job, so he scored the winning goal and killed the opponent! His sister, how should you reward me? "

"So it's like this? Fantastic Yang, I can't see that you are still an expert at chasing girls!" Jessica laughed, looked up at him, remembered the scenes five years ago, and frowned. She made a disdainful expression and asked, "Why didn't you chase me back then?" She couldn't help but smile, and said angrily, "I thought you were a movie idiot, and then I confessed my love! Oh God..." She covered her face in embarrassment.

Wang Yang shrugged slightly, who knows what he thought at that time? Perhaps it should have been confessed sooner. He said with a smile, "You don't know? Of course you don't know. I'll tell you a Chinese idiom, trying to get you!" He laughed a few times, and explained in her puzzled eyes: "It means that you clearly want to Grab that person, but deliberately ignore him first, let him relax his vigilance, and then grab it firmly!"

"No, you don't need it." Jessica looked at him with bright eyes. Could it be that he was "playing hard to get" again? But she won't confess this time! Jessica showed her clean teeth with a smile, and said in a suggestive tone: "You can confess your love anytime, anytime! Really, I've been prepared for a long time."

"Then at the movie theater that day, I should have said it!" Wang Yang bowed his head and kissed her show fiercely again: "Mum!" Jessica rolled her eyes quietly, already hinting, wait! She smiled and said: "Haha, if you confessed your love that day, I will 100% agree!" Wang Yang said in surprise: "So high?" Jessica smiled and said: "% is 'I'm crazy', and % is 'this Guy is crazy'. Well, what reward do you want?"

"Wow!" Wang Yang rested his chin in surprise, looked at her ambiguously, and said with a smile, "I have to think about it, what kind of reward, reward..." He walked up and down the room while talking.

Jessica turned her head and continued to browse the gossip website on the screen, dragged the mouse a few times, and suddenly her eyes widened in surprise, and she shouted, "Jan, I have your gossip!" Could this be what Joshua said? Have something good to see? She frowned suspiciously, and said: "Miraculous Yang's high school love history?"

"What the hell!" Wang Yang was immediately puzzled, how could there be his gossip, high school love history! ? Hearing this, he walked over to Jiangye, and Jessica, who was looking at the screen, said: "Jan had a girlfriend Helen who he loved so much in high school, and they were so close that they were going to get engaged..." She stopped talking, and immediately He laughed heartily and said: "Haha, it's still that one, Helen, I thought it was someone else!"

"Wait a minute, what's going on?" Wang Yang took the mouse and looked at it seriously. There is not much information in this gossip. The name may not be fully exposed due to **, it should be exposed by former classmates. After all, it's no secret, he has participated in proms and other things with Helen a few times.

As a popular young couple, their love affairs naturally attract a lot of attention, and their past private life love history is also the object of gossip media mining. If you can find something like photos, love letters, etc., it will be very valuable. Now this gossip is obviously investigated by the paparazzi, and some relatively ordinary information has been obtained, the name and relationship are good...

"Haha! Interesting." Wang Yang looked at it but couldn't help laughing, but Jessica curled her lips. The article said it's no wonder that the flame movie is called a flame movie. I miss Helen (the meaning of the name is torch, bright). Wang Yang laughed heartily and said, "Interesting! But this kind of gossip is so f*cking boring!" He closed these webpages while talking.

Jessica felt a little jealous in her heart, obviously she was her ex-girlfriend, but... She questioned: "Really? Huo Huo missed her." Wang Yang shook his head without thinking, and said: "No, it doesn't matter at all! The reason I told you before, and because I like passion (f1me)!" He held her face in both hands, kissed her lips hard, looked into her eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't force me Changing the company name to Fortune Films, you know it's corny, which is good, but corny."

"Young movies, more old-fashioned!" Jessica smiled, the jealousy gradually disappeared, she was stimulated by "engagement", but now is now.

Wang Yang pinched her cheek, walked towards the bookcase, and said with a smile: "I didn't think of this at the beginning because I thought it was old-fashioned. Jessica, the movie is about to start, are you ready?" He seriously Said: "I will be very strict!"

"I know, I will do it to myself!" Jessica nodded emphatically.
