Chapter 120

"There's something wrong with the company's financing channels."

In a French restaurant in Burbank, Carla Firth sits opposite Murphy and Gail gado and talks about the new project. "Limited by the theme, Twentieth Century Fox and Weinstein will not invest more than $80 million in production."

Although this is a project of cooperation between the two companies, but because of Quentin Tarantino's accident, 20th Century Fox undoubtedly dominated.

"Well..."

Murphy just nodded and didn't say anything more. This can be regarded as a temporary project. He is still sorting out the clue to complete the most basic script of the project. The specific amount of investment can't have an overall concept until the script and project plan are completed.

"Quentin's style..." Carla Firth seems to be worried. "In the past, it's obvious that his style is sometimes too absurd and biased towards B-level films. This style will win the hearts of some fans, but drive away more fans."

"Don't worry." Murphy laughed. "Quentin and I have promised, and our agreement is very clear. Quentin is a screenwriter who provides outline and story line, and other aspects will not participate. This is my leading project. My style is very similar to Quentin, but there are also great differences."

In addition to the unrestrained play on "planet of terror", although his film is also a typical black style, it is different from Quentin's absurdity and more serious.

Of course, you can't expect a film that directly killed Hitler to be too realistic. There must be some absurd elements in it. However, these elements should be properly controlled and should not be unrestrained.

Moreover, the more serious the content and theme of the film, the stronger the black humor effect.

Since he has resisted the burden of Quentin, Murphy will not follow Quentin's route completely. Especially for the long digressive dialogues that non Quentin film lovers can't stand, he will restrict them when he arranges the script.

In any case, it is necessary for the film to make some appropriate changes and adjustments according to his wishes.

After talking about the unnamed project, Carla Firth and Gail gado turned to the topic of fashion, from clothes and accessories to this year's Paris fashion week, and from the fashion week to some celebrities in the fashion world.

Women always have endless topics to talk about fashion. Gail gado has experienced professional training as a model. Strictly speaking, she used to be a member of the fashion circle. As for Carla Firth, you can know her fashion sensitivity by looking at her delicate makeup and carefully matched clothes every day.

Murphy became a complete listener.

Fortunately, Carla Firth and Gail gado had a turn, and finally returned to the movie, but it was still about fashion.

"Gayle, have you read the book and the play?" Carla Firth suddenly asked, "how are you, interested?"

"I think..." Gail gado frowned slightly. "There seems to be something wrong with the heroine's thought. She has a strange understanding of fashion and the world. I don't think I can play such a role."

Murphy, how can I become a qualified producer

Carla Firth sighed softly, "there are some problems with the heroine, but this character..."

At this point, she shook her head again. "You'd better continue to be a producer. I'll find someone else."

"What are you talking about?" Murphy looked at Gail gado, then at Carla Firth, "why can't I understand?"

"A movie," Gail gado succinctly replied, "and a character."

"Because of my competition with Dave Scola, I had an adaptation project in my hands for two years." Carla Firth said in detail, "I originally wanted to invite Gail to play the heroine, but forget it, the heroine's thought is strange, and it's not suitable for Gail."

"Well." Murphy nodded. "It's a project called the adaptation of the devil in Prada. It's said that it was adapted from the experience of Anna Wintour, editor in chief of fashion magazine," said Gail gado

After what she said, Murphy remembered that she had never heard of the release of devil in Prada. Combined with Carla Firth's words, this film was undoubtedly under the control of Carla Firth, who had the power of fox production in the 20th century.

This is the indirect change he brought.

Seeing that Murphy's face was a little different, Gail gado asked, "have you read that novel?"

"I've seen a little." In fact, Murphy knows that Gail gado's current interest is not in the actors at all. Instead of asking her to play in the film, she asks, "why do you say that the heroine has a strange mind?"He vaguely remembers that Anne Hathaway, the former heroine, was robbed by Meryl Streep and Emily Bronte with a very low sense of existence. He does not remember her strange performance.

"I don't agree with the original interpretation of Anna Wintour or Miranda."

As a former member of the fashion circle, Gail gado said without hesitation, "fashion depends on pickiness to survive, but we can't regard pickiness as the original sin of fashion. The successful people in the fashion circle I know, those designers and magazine editors, are very picky about details, sometimes to the point of unbearable, but this is a professional requirement, it's their professional requirement It has to be done. "

Maybe he once was one of them. Gail gado obviously has a different understanding from the movie in Murphy's memory. "Fashion is a very delicate and sensitive career, which cannot be separated from the improvement of details. In other words, we often say that details determine success or failure!"

The opposite Carla Firth also agreed with Gail gado and said, "Gail is talking about the survival rules of fashion. Those fashion practitioners often bring this kind of top pursuit of career into their daily life and become the devil in the eyes of their subordinates."

Listen, if this is totally different from the theme of that movie, Murphy doesn't know what to say. His understanding of fashion is too limited. He can only say that his stand is different, and his view of things is different.

Gail gado laughs. She knows Murphy doesn't understand this and doesn't say anything.

But Carla Firth said, "let me give you the basics. Have you read that novel? "

As he had just said what he had read, Murphy had to nod.

Seeing Murphy nodding, Carla Firth said, "in the novel, when Andy's colleagues take out two belts, he says they are very different. At the same time, Andy smiles. She thinks the two belts are not different."

"This is a typical layman! Although the two belts have the same color, their waistband heads are different. They have different matching senses. Matching the same dress will have different effects. To distinguish these differences and find out the best matching is the subtlety of fashion details. Although in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference at all in these details that designers care about, but they can't find any difference In the eyes of designers, it's quite different. This is the difference between professional vision and non professional vision. "

Carla Firth took a sip from her glass, and Gail gado thought about it and joined in.

"For example, if you choose the blue striped sweater, you think you are serious about choosing the dress according to your meaning..." She talks about a dialogue in the novel, "and this kind of sky blue has produced millions of dollars in profits and countless job opportunities, as well as the incalculable hard work for it..."

Gail gado said seriously, "I think this is a good description of the fashion industry."

Hearing this, Carla Firth nodded in agreement, "every industry has its own characteristics."

"How does fashion affect the world? How does fashion spread to everyone step by step from its cutting-edge haute couture? How does fashion influence the lives of ordinary people? "

In the face of Gail gado's extremely serious and beautiful face, Murphy has no choice but to spread out his hand. In this respect, he is a real layman.

"Every quarter, designers will explore some new ideas, new ideas and new colors, which are extracted from many inspirations and materials. For example, the sky blue just mentioned is selected from nearly 100 kinds of blue on the color card and dozens of its similar colors."

Because of his experience in this field, Gail gado obviously knows something about it. "Then designers make clothes and promote the color; if other designers notice, they will achieve cutting-edge small area popularity; then media magazines will judge what may be popular in countless quarterly publications, and then the blue will be recognized by them I noticed

Now that she started, she said in detail, "the media will convey the message that blue is going to be popular to the public, and these messages will spread quickly, and the major stores will follow up quickly. This has become a popular trend. If this blue is recognized by the public, it means that it has generated tens of millions of dollars or even more profits and countless job opportunities. Then, some of the popular things in the season will continue to deepen. After the blue becomes popular in fashion, it will develop in depth. "

Murphy nodded her head, still confused.

Gail gado rolled his eyes and said, "therefore, no one should think that he has nothing to do with fashion. Every choice he makes is a product of fashion. In fact, all his choices are based on the choices offered by others. And often, the choice of a designer or editor in chief of a magazine determines what kind of clothes ordinary people can wear. "

"It's really complicated." Murphy murmured.

"Of course! Do you think it's easy to dress up? "

In the face of Carla Firth's problem, Murphy can only shake his head. His style of dressing strives to be concise, but for women, it is absolutely not the case. (to be continued). ）For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
