Chapter 213 Are you ready?
Time soon entered May. After more than a month of busy schedule, the theatrical version of "mit-21-team" was finally edited. The movie itself was 118 minutes plus the opening and ending schedule for a total of 125 minutes. Wang Yang was very satisfied with this theatrical version, and the pace was very bright all the way. Even if you were not excited and excited, you would not be bored and bored. But he himself felt that it was very flavorful, genius, smart, cunning, and professional...
However, Margaret Goodstead said that many times she felt overwhelmed. As a 100% audience, she would peck and think about the problems brought by the film, but instead forgot to follow up on the plot. For example, she was entangled by the paradoxical problems in the beginning of the bar, and later it would emerge. She felt that most of the audience would be like this, and there were many things that caused pecking and grinding later.
After watching this movie, which was made by the two, her overall feeling when watching the movie was: "very dangerous."
The story is interesting, the characters are cool, the camera is the fast and sharp editing style of the cult film, but many pictures are slow down, beautiful and delicate and worthy of savoring; the lines are sharp and seem to be not particularly classic, but after watching it, it is hard to forget some scene dialogues in my mind, such as the opening bar, Jeff Horse learning to count cards... 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 25 million yuan, it is indeed unique, and it will be labeled as a cult film; as a gambling film, she studied a large number of gambling films before editing, and it has also become novel and unique, and in terms of card counting, it humiliated the past movies such as "Hangover". But she still felt very dangerous, because this movie is like magical, very smart and sharp.
If "mit-21-team" is cut into a smooth commercial film, perhaps the public will say "a fair-size and a popcorn movie with some entertainment value", but she is sure that the movie tickets will not be sold. With her magical fame and the promotion of "The Best Oscar Director's New Work", there is no problem with the global box office of about 200 million, and it will not be said to be bad.
Now there are a lot of risks. Will the audience like the sharpness of their sharpness? She didn't know that she had seen many such movies sinking into the ocean; some were suddenly rated as classics later; and some were popular at the box office as soon as they were released.
Shenqiyang is just a 23-year-old young man, and it is normal to be sharp and sharp. Margaret was a little emotional. After editing a movie with him for several years, this guy's style has always changed. This is a weird movie that often switches the camera continuously in two seconds, has many long-shot slow-motion shots, reversed structure and many flashback montages...
She felt like in an oriental movie, where the swordsman was having a fierce battle, and the bangs and bumps made people breathless. The camera suddenly paused and fixed it with a long-range picture. The swordsman and swordsman were also stalemate, but the wind blew their hair. Of course, "mit-21-team" is a modern film full of campus and casino atmosphere.
"In fact, I think it's like this, this story should be like this, I want to make it like this! Every movie is a telling, the filmmakers tell the audience, so you have to consider the audience's feelings, so they will accept your words and your story, otherwise they will be self-admiring, or really outstanding. I don't pursue either, I like the audience's like this. And now, I think this way of telling is the best, it's like this, if it's not like this, then it's not it."
After hearing Wang Yang say this, Margaret could only nod. This movie has his magical name and will not lose money at the worst. If it weren't for the unstable factors of the Chinese male protagonist, it would be more certain that it would be a big hit in the first week. But what about the second week? What about the comments from the film reviewers? What kind of result will it be?
"Yes, it's finished cutting!" On the balcony under the night sky, Wang Yang leaned against the railing and looked at the dark sky in the distance, smiling at the phone in his hand: "Of course it's coming soon, we cut it 25 hours a day! Now no matter what I look at, it's a frame by frame. It's such a wonderful world." Natalie over there said with interest: "When will I see it? I'm really looking forward to it! What does it look like?"
"Margaret said hurry up, oppression... Well, I think you will know after watching it, you will see it." Wang Yang smiled, and his heart was full of confidence, and said to her: "There is no soundtrack and color tuning yet! Daniel also needs to dub, and you will show you when everything is finished. But in a few days, there will be a preview trailer, and there is no content, haha!" Natalie said angrily: "Why don't I need dub?"
"Because you don't need a voiceover." Wang Yang replied, remembering a question that he hadn't asked for a long time, and asked: "How is your academic performance? Can you graduate successfully?" Natalie there suddenly said angrily: "No problem! I can graduate successfully in June! Obey your order at any time!"
Wang Yang knew that she was referring to the promotional release of "mit-21-team", and he joked: "Aren't you going to film "Star Wars Prequel 3"? Did you get fired?" Natalie laughed and said: "It's not my personal show, I can take time to cooperate with the promotion. But I have a question, should we go to Asia now?"
Speaking of this, Wang Yang's face couldn't help but sink. The crew's plan to go to mainland China in the summer, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places for publicity may have been cancelled. As early as the beginning of the year, the world was swept by the SARS virus (SARS). Among them, mainland China is the most severely affected area. Until now, the epidemic has spread more and more on a large scale. Many places in Asia have been included in the tourism ban by the WHO. I don't know when the epidemic will end.
His charity fund is doing his best to this disaster. He is also eager to bring "mit-21-team" to China to meet with fans, but this situation cannot be achieved. If the ban is lifted in August, he thinks he will still go there, and of course the hygiene needs to be strictly inspected. Thinking of this, Wang Yang couldn't help but sigh. This year is really not relieved! I hope that all these unpleasant things will end soon!
"Depending on the situation, if the situation allows, at least I will go." Wang Yang's tone was very serious. He would not force anyone to follow him, nor could he come. Anyway, he would never allow Jessica to go to any sars disaster area. Her body's immunity is worse than that of ordinary people, and common colds are easily transmitted; and he hasn't caught a cold once a few years.
Natalie said in a deep voice, and she could only wait and see what was unpredictable. She changed the topic and said, "You are going to make a new movie soon, right? It's so crazy."
"Yes, "The Devil Wearing Prada" will be on in two days." Wang Yang didn't think about those heavy things anymore. He thought about starting the film immediately. He glanced at the bedroom and whispered: "To be honest, my enthusiasm for this movie has not reached its peak." Of course, he was interested in this story and had clear ideas about the theme, otherwise he wouldn't pick up the microphone, just like "Sweetheart".
However, if there is a investment ranking, "The Ninth District" is ranked first so far, and "The Demon Wearing Prada" is ranked last for the time being. He really missed the days when he produced "The Ninth District", although he was often depressed.
"But I won't be careless." Wang Yang said to his phone, as if he was making a promise to himself: "The more enthusiastic you are, the more serious you must be! And to find it! I must be very strict, very strict!" Natalie on the other side laughed, as if saying "I know what you are thinking", and she smiled and said, "Whatever you do! It's not me, just tell Jessica."
"Okay, I'll tell you now!" Wang Yang turned around and walked into the bedroom, smiling seriously: "Hurry up and write the paper! Winner-winner, chicken-dinner!" Natalie smiled and said, "winner-winner, chicken-dinner!"
"The Devil Wearing Prada" has now been prepared properly, and one of the key tasks in the preparations is the fashion luxury goods in the movie.
Even if we want to avoid becoming a fashion show, Miranda, Andrea and others cannot wear ordinary clothes and use ordinary handbags. This is not true and has no "atmosphere". Just as Patricia Field, who is a fashion designer, said: "Miranda needs such a very sensible and demeanor to wear, which makes people see that she is the boss at a glance."
Patricia Field is the costume designer of the popular TV series "Sex and the City". He knows many people in the time circle and can attract many fashion designers to agree that the costumes, accessories, shoes and bags they designed appear in the movies, and even lends the limited edition bags to the crew for use.
But it is worth mentioning that as early as the Flame Movie announced that the Demon Wearing Prada was brought to the big screen, Anna Wintour warned people in the fashion industry not to participate in the filming of this movie. She is the editor-in-chief of the American version of "vogue" magazine, Lauren Weisberg's former boss, an idol in the fashion circle, and the prototype of Miranda. However, Wang Yang announced that he was directed by the Flame Movie and Patricia Field successfully invited many well-known people in the fashion industry to design clothes for the film, including Valentino, "Wedding Queen" Wang Weiwei...
Seeing this situation, she is worthy of being the "devil wearing Prada". Anna Wintour immediately changed her attitude and expressed her willingness to attend the premiere of the movie. She laughed and said that at that time, the clothes and shoes on her body would be Prada.
The crew has received sponsorship from Prada, as well as brands such as ck, vivienne www.piaotian.coms. Patricia Field is naturally very happy, especially Wang Yang's words "Don't worry about the budget, the effect shall prevail." She can design and wear Jessica, Meryl Streep and others to the fullest, of course it will not really cost much. The clothing production cost of the entire movie is at least 1 million. However, compared with the 100,000 yuan average for other urban films, this number is already very expensive.
Now these costumes and luxury items, as well as other props in the movie, office scenes, etc., are ready to start filming soon, including real scenes in New York and two main studios with green screens in Toronto studios. The expected shooting time is one and a half months. At the same time, Wang Yang will also follow the soundtrack of "mit-21-team". This time the musician is Christopher Baker.
"Beauty, what are you doing?" Wang Yang walked into the bedroom with his cell phone, came to the computer desk, kissed Jessica's hair sitting on the chair and whispered. Jessica controlled the mouse with her right hand, looked at the computer screen, and said with a smile: "Nothing, I'm just watching gossip news. Joshua just sent a text message and said something... Oh! He was on gossip news: Gilmore girl is in love..."
Wang Yang 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 and waiting for them. He laughed with a laugh. The two did start to try to date. Joshua naturally said, "It feels good!" Wang Yang put his shoulder on her shoulder and laughed proudly, "Do you know? It was me who taught him how to chase girls that he had this time. He was a suitor who later went to the lineup."
"I taught him how to attract girls' attention, how to tell jokes, and how to give a sense of security..." Wang Yang said casually, looked at Jessica scrolling the photos on the screen, and said with emotion: "I racked my brains for him, and then he did a good job, so he scored the winning goal and defeated his opponent! His sister, how should you reward me?"
"So that's it? Shenqiyang, I can't tell you are a master of chasing girls!" Jessica laughed, looked up at him, remembering the scenes five years ago, frowned and made a contemptuous expression, and asked, "Why didn't you chase me at that time?" She couldn't help but smile and said angrily: "I thought you were a fool with only movies, and then I confessed! Oh God..." She covered her face with a disbelief.
Wang Yang shrugged slightly. Who knew what he thought at that time? Maybe he should have confessed his love a long time ago. He joked and said, "You don't know? Of course you don't know. I'll tell you a Chinese idiom, playing hard to get!" He laughed a few times, and explained in her puzzled eyes: "That is, you obviously want to catch that person, but you deliberately ignore him first, let him relax his vigilance, and then grab it steadily!"
"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 wouldn't confess this time! Jessica smiled and showed her teeth, and said in a hint: "You can confess your love at any time, anytime! Really, I'm ready long ago."
"Then I should have said that day in the cinema!" Wang Yang lowered his head and kissed her hair fiercely: "muma!" Jessica quietly rolled her eyes, all of which were already hinting, waiting! She smiled and said, "Haha, if you confessed that day, I would have agreed 50% of them!" Wang Yang said in surprise: "That high?" Jessica smiled and said, "50% is 'I'm crazy', and the other 50% is 'This guy is crazy'. Okay, what reward do you want?"
"Wow!" Wang Yang held his chin in surprise, looked at her with ambiguous eyes, and smiled: "I have to think about it carefully, what rewards, rewards..." He said as he walked around the room.
Jessica turned her head and continued to browse the gossip website on the screen. She held the mouse and dragged it a few times. Suddenly, her eyes glared in surprise and shouted, "Yang, there is your gossip!" Could this be what Joshua said to have something good to see? She frowned in confusion and said, "The magical Yang's high school love history?"
"What the hell!" Wang Yang was also puzzled. How could he have his gossip? High school love history!? He walked over and looked at the screen. Jessica said, "Yang has a beloved girlfriend Helen in high school. They are so good that they are going to get engaged..." She said and stopped, then laughed heartily: "Haha, it's still the same one, Helen, I thought it was someone else!"
"Wait a minute, what's going on?" Wang Yang took the mouse and read it carefully. There was not much information in this gossip. The name may not be fully exposed due to privacy. It should be the information exposed by a previous classmate. After all, this is not a secret. He has also participated in the dance party with Helen several times.
As a popular young couple, their relationship is naturally very high, and their past private life history is also the object of gossip media to discover. If you can find some photos, love letters and other things, it is very valuable. Now this gossip is obviously investigated by paparazzi and got some common information, names, and good feelings...
"Haha! Interesting." Wang Yang looked at it but couldn't help but smile, but Jessica curled her lips. The article said that no wonder the flame movie was called the flame movie, no wonder the male protagonist of "Singing and Dance" was called Troy. It turned out that they were missing Helen (the name means torch, shiny). Wang Yang laughed intriguingly and said, "It's interesting! But such gossip is so fucking boring!" He closed the pages as he said.
Jessica was a little jealous inexplicably. She was obviously an ex-girlfriend, but... she asked, "Really? Flame is because she missed her." Wang Yang shook his head without thinking and said, "No, it's okay! The reason I told you before, and because I like passion (flames)!" He held her face in both hands, kissed her lips fiercely, looked at her eyes, and smiled, "Don't force me to change the name of the company into a wealth movie. You know, it's quite old-fashioned, it's actually not bad, but it's quite old-fashioned."
"Young movies are even more cliché!" Jessica Ha smiled, and the jealousy gradually disappeared. She was stimulated by "engagement", but now it is now.
Wang Yang pinched her cheek and walked to the bookcase, laughing and said, "I just thought it was old-fashioned and didn't get this. Jessica, the movie is about to start, are you ready?" He said seriously, "I will be very strict!"
Chapter completed!
