Chapter 903: The Queen of Fashion
In the United States, the luxury of a home can be seen by the number of trees.
If there are no trees around the house, it must be a slum, and if there are few trees around the house, it means that the owner is a low-income person.
If there are more trees around the house and can interact with the house, it means that the owner's status should be very high.
If the house is located in a "forest", then the owner of the house is powerful, it must be a rich man and a big man, this kind of house is usually called a "manor".
Long Island is a region where land is scarce and there are few forests.
Moreover, although Anna Wintour is famous and is a fashion queen, her economic conditions really can't match her fame, she is just a magazine editor-in-chief.
Her home...... It's a "slum" on Long Island, and there are no trees around.
Donn and Sharapova got off the helicopter, and the last thing the Long Island area lacked was the tarmac.
With a box of small gifts, I walked to the door of the villa and had to knock on the door.
The one who opened the door was a delicate and carved young girl, with a pair of crystal eyes, and when she saw the person clearly, she screamed directly: "Ah! Don!"
Then he turned around and shouted inside, "Mom, Don is here!"
How can there be a little bit of elegance in front of the media lens?
In the end, it is an adolescent girl.
Don smiled dumbly and squeezed his eyes at her, "Want to come...... You're Princess Schaffer, aren't you?"
Her name was Catherine Schaffer and she was the daughter of Anna Wintour.
In the fashion industry, her mother is called the "queen", and she is naturally the "princess".
Catherine Schaffer lifted her skirt and curtsy very gracefully, "Sir, you are welcome to be your guest!"
At this time, Anna Wintour walked over with a smile, "Donn, it's an honor for you to come to my house, come in...... Oh, this is Miss Sharapova, right?"
Sharapova was pleasantly surprised and said, "Ma'am, do you know me?"
Anna Wintour smiled: "The most fashionable female player in tennis, how could I not know it?
Catherine Schaffer blushed slightly, and looked deeply at Don and Sharapova.
Although she is only 17 years old and still in high school, she is already working as an editor at Vogue magazine, and her knowledge of the fashion industry is ...... It's also more.
The fashion circle and the entertainment industry are originally separated by a thin line.
How bad can it be?
Watching Don and Sava come hand in hand, you can see that their relationship is very unusual.
"It's really amazing to take your lover to someone else's house as a guest!"
Catherine Schevere stuck out her tongue as she watched the two enter the living room as if nothing had happened, and thought to herself.
At this time, Anna Wintour glanced at her daughter cautiously, "Bi, pay attention to your attitude!"
Catherine Schaffer's nickname is "Bi", and she said a little impatiently, "I see!"
"Also, don't date him!"
Anna Wintour seemed to be worried about something, whispering a warning.
Catherine Schaffer blushed and said, "Mom, what are you talking about?
"You don't worship him?"
"Worship is worship, like is like, it's not the same!"
"It's good that you understand. ”
"Oh, everyone is in a hurry, you can go quickly!"
……
The living room is very spacious and the decoration is quite luxurious.
Although it is the "slum" of Long Island, it is Long Island after all.
Housing prices are higher than in the affluent areas of many big cities.
"Donn, I remember...... You told me you wanted to make a movie based on me. Anna Wintour beckoned the two to take their seats.
Don smiled, "I haven't forgotten it!"
At the Metropolitan Museum's fashion ball, Donn told her that he wanted to bring Lauren Weisberg's "Queen Wears Prada" to the big screen.
The prototype of the heroine is Anna Wintour.
"Haven't you moved yet?"
"Actually, I mentioned it last year, but this project is a bit of a hassle. Don shook his head, and didn't hide it.
The proposal for the "Queen Wears Prada" project has been submitted a long time ago, but it has not been officially launched, mainly because the director cannot be decided.
Don has already said that this movie should be carefully crafted.
Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway will be the leading actors, and the popular "Wasp" Rose Byrne will be the supporting actress. In addition, angel supermodel Gisele Bundchen will also appear......
The lineup is strong.
In order to grasp such a strong lineup, an excellent director is indispensable.
But there is a problem with who the director chooses.
Big-name directors don't bother to take over the project "The Queen Wears Prada". To put it bluntly, this is an extended version of a fashion advertising film, with no technical content and no cinematic art to speak of.
It's like asking a big Hollywood director to shoot an MV, it's almost impossible.
If you choose a new director...... It's not appropriate, I'm afraid it's difficult for a rookie director to control so many popular female stars.
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Rose Byrne, each of them is not a good stubble. With the addition of Gisele Bundchen, the supermodel benchmark in the fashion industry, it is very difficult to coordinate these people.
On the other hand, Rose Byrne has just finished co-filming "Ant-Man 2" and "The Avengers", and is very tired and needs to rest, and Anne Hathaway has taken over the two major projects of "Pirate League 3" and "Pirate League 4", and the two movies will start shooting at the same time.
For various reasons, the movie "The Queen Wears Prada" has not been launched for a long time.
"But don't worry, wait for my movie next year...... After the finale, when the time comes, several leading actors will be vacant. At that time, the film was bound to start shooting. If nothing else, in 2006, the movie will be available. ”
A movie, dispensable for Donn, doesn't matter.
But for Anna Wintour, the meaning is too far.
Don't look at her omnipotence in the fashion circle, but, many times, the fashion industry is only in the entertainment industry...... Fringe Zone. It's like Gisele Bundchen, a supermodel on the spire of the fashion circle, and when she arrives in the film industry, she has to play a small supporting role obediently, which is still for Leonardo's face, otherwise it will be a cameo at most.
Don thought that Anna Wintour would discuss the topic of movies, but she suddenly changed her words, "By the way, what do you think of Prada?"
"Prada?" Don was slightly stunned, then smiled, "I don't know much." I usually wear Armani brands, or custom-made clothes. But...... Prada should be such a famous luxury brand, right?"
Anna Wintour shook her head and said, "It's not good, it's bad!"
Don was a little suspicious, "What do you mean?"
Anna Wintour glanced at her daughter Catherine Schaffer and the tall Sharapova, who was sitting obediently on the side, and said, "Bi, take Miss Sharapova to the cloakroom, you should have a common language about fashion." ”
"Okay. ”
Boss Catherine Schaffer was not happy, but she had no choice but to leave with Sharapova.
"Miss Wintour, is there something wrong with you?"
"Just call me Anna. ”
"All right, Anna. ”
Don En smiled, the other party's age is really not young.
Anna Wintour said softly, "Donne, then I'll be straight to the point, with my observations...... Of course, it is a very superficial observation, but the New Globe Group has a wide range of industries, from movies to television, from the Internet to television stations, from hardware technology to software games, as well as tourism and consumer goods business. But...... There's no fashion industry, is it?"
"The fashion industry?" Don En looked at her deeply, and said quietly, "There will also be some services for sale in the consumer goods department." ”
Anna Wintour said disapprovingly: "What kind of fashion is that?"
may feel that the words are a bit excessive, so he added another sentence and said with a smile: "As the richest man in the world, you can't play with those low-grade clothes, right?"
"So......" Donn paused and stared into her eyes, "you mean Prada?"
Anna Wintour said: "According to my observation, your industrial layout of the New Universal Group is very wide, but it all revolves around one core theme, that is, movies. Cinema is art, but fashion is the originator of all art!"
Tang En laughed and said, "This sentence is biased, right?"
Anna Wintour said, "Not at all! Imagine that in ancient times, when ape-men used tree bark to cover their bodies, there were no such arts as painting, music, and film, and how to use different kinds of leaves to design different styles of 'clothing' was the first human art." ”
Don bowed directly.
Awesome!
Anna Wintour continues: "Clothing worn on people walking, sitting and lying down is the art of flow, a soft sculpture that shows the state of our lives. In order to make more and more clothes with leaves and bark, apes began to write and draw on the ground with branches, which is the earliest clothing design. When a costume made of leaves and bark was made, the apes were so happy that they sang and danced together, and they picked up the branches around them and beat them against the stones, and the first 'percussion' was born. From costumes to dance, and then from dance to music, eventually musicals, film and television dramas were born. ”
Tang En was deeply impressed by this remark, and she was indeed the queen of fashion, not only high enough fashion taste, but also high enough fashion theory.
"New Universal Group is a group company that serves the arts, in this case, why not pay tribute to the originator of art? The fashion industry will become the last link of the upstream, midstream and downstream industries with film as the core of New Universal!"
Clearly, Anna Wintour had done her homework before that.
Her remarks hit the heart of Donn. I want to talk about "Heads-up Hollywood" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
