Hollywood legendary director

Let Lehman analyze it, the reason why "Prada" can become a hit in the past life.

First, it has grasped the rise of feminism, and female audiences have become a force that cannot be underestimated in the film industry. In other words, female audiences have more independent spending power;

The second is to accurately capture the content carrier of the fashion circle.

The hobbies of female audiences are definitely different from those of male audiences, and the topic of fashion wear and voyeurism in the fashion circle obviously hit the climax of female audiences.

why?

Through "Prada", they can get a glimpse of the high-end and mysterious fashion scene behind the scenes, glimpse a corner of the private life of fashion celebrity Anna Wintour, and follow the protagonist Andy to obtain various luxury brands for "free", thus becoming various bright eye.

This kind of satisfaction for female audiences is the source of the film's popularity.

......

In the meeting room of Firefly, a group of people are discussing the project "Prada".

Lehman cleared his throat and said, "The screenwriter department will talk about it first, Nano, you come first."

Nano joined the company last year. He is a British in his thirties and is also Jonathan's deputy.

Now, Jonathan is busy writing "Fatal Magic" with his brother. Of course, he has the highest qualifications in the screenwriting department.

"The novel has too many branches and too many unnecessary characters. It is not easy to concentrate and unify the scenes. It is necessary to make a choice of direction. According to the fashion topic set at the beginning, create a luxurious environment style in the workplace. It's easy to shine."

"Also, the climax of this script is not well coordinated, the context is old-fashioned, the theme is superficial, and it needs to be further enhanced."

Lehman saw that the screenwriting department had fully understood his ideas, and smiled with satisfaction: "Nano, this is your job. I believe the final script will be revised, right?"

Nano smiled and said, "Of course."

In fact, "Prada" is also a well-known Hollywood movie project, now that Firefly Pictures is taking over, of course, this opportunity cannot be wasted.

"Blake, what do you think?" Lehman asked Blake Cole, the executive producer of this project.

The former Rodrian old man has shown his knowledge of the film market, and the task of production is often accomplished well.

"The structure of the story needs to be simple. Remove the soap bubbles in the heroine's life and focus on the topic of fashion. It should be able to capture the female market."

"Yeah." Lehman nodded and looked at Glenn in the market analysis department.

"You also talk about it. Analyse the budget investment of the movie."

"This project cannot take the award-winning route, so everything is qualified as the standard." Glenn carefully said: "The movie fans and the audience don't care about the lens language or the innovation of narrative methods. As long as the pictures are beautiful enough, the actors should not be too bad. , Can tell the story clearly, everything else is so simple."

"So, what about the budget standard?"

"From 30 million to 35 million, "Prada" does not have much location, and does not require frequent transitions. There are not many group shows, but excellent actors who can hold the scene are needed. Because the story is not good enough, the actors can only attract the audience. Going on, according to the script, the female protagonist is beautiful enough, and in addition to the beautiful appearance, the fame must be large, and the fan base must be established. Such a candidate is difficult to talk about without a salary of 10 million. This is not a Chong Ao movie, no People are willing to surrender their status."

"Where is the candidate?"

"Of course, the bigger the card, the better. The actor's salary can account for half of the production cost." Glenn said: "With a well-known actress, you can attract a lot of popularity, and publicity is much easier. Well, Eva How is Miss?"

Lehman shook his head, "She is not suitable, her style is different."

"So, Jessica Alba, Keira Knightley, Charlize Theron, and even Kate Winslet." Glenn continued to propose candidates.

"No, these movies have just sold out, they are in a period of rising careers, or they have become popular early, and they will not stick to the mere remuneration. They will definitely ask for a split at the box office. Such a price is not for a Mary Su movie. Too much tolerable." It was the project producer Black who retorted.

Glenn was silent for a while, "A popular actor will not be paid low, especially the commercial nature of this film is still so strong. Unless..."

When the discussion was deadlocked and a group of people were thinking, Lehman suggested: "How about Anne Hathaway? Of course, to be on the safe side, I would like to invite Jessica and Charlize."

The original Annie's performance was amazing enough, and Lyman didn't want to change candidates subconsciously.

At this time, Annie stepped into the independent literary and artistic circles, and there was little enthusiasm, and she could barely see her news.

Of course, after leaving Disney's support, Annie's career is indeed declining.

After Lehman spoke, everyone thought about the feasibility of Anne Hathaway as the heroine.

First of all, the beauty and temperament must not be said. The "Princess Diaries" series really promoted Anne as a princess. At that time, it was also called "Disney Princess".

Then there is the film remuneration, the pressure on the production of the project will not be great, after all, as long as you don't directly participate in the box office share, everyone thinks it's okay.

Then, the direction of discussion is the director.

After Lehman made it clear that he would not accept, the management was helpless with the boss and genius director, and none of the subordinates cooperated in this direction.

He has a strong personal style, but he can’t play pure commercial movies without a spiritual core. Perhaps Nolan and Wen Ziren can try it, but one already has a favorite work, and the other has finished filming "Dead Silence". I have been busy for a few months. I'm preparing to take a holiday and rest, so I can't catch strong men.

Moreover, Wen Ziren seems to have never photographed a woman, she is still a beautiful woman.

You know, how to take beautiful pictures of women is also a technique.

During this, the group of people thought hard and finally had several goals.

One is Gary Marshall, his representative works "Pretty Beautiful Lady", "Escape Bride", "Princess Diary", his works directly sent the big-mouth beauty Roberts to the first-line actresses, and also the newcomer Anne Hathaway. The ability of women has nothing to say;

The other is Giuseppe Tonatore, his masterpieces "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", "The Pianist on the Sea", and "Paradise Cinema". The best thing is the lens and the story. However, this one does not like external works and may refuse.

Sure enough, neither of these two agreed. The latter directly returned the invitation intact, while the former was older and did not have a strong desire to create. What he wants most every day is to be with his family. After all, they debuted in the 1950s. He is now 70 years old, and he is not the iron-blooded cowboy like Clint Eastwood. He would want to die on the set. In the past few years, he has almost sealed the guide tube.
