Fast forward to May, and after more than a month of busy work, the theatrical version of "MIT-21-Team" was finally edited, and the film itself was 118 minutes plus the opening and closing credits for a total of 125 minutes. Wang Yang is very satisfied with this theatrical version, the rhythm is very bright all the way, even if he is not excited and excited, he will not be bored and dull, but he himself thinks it is very flavorful, genius, smart, cunning, and professional...... However, Margaret Goodspeed said that many times there is a feeling of being overwhelmed, and as a 100% viewer, she will peck at the problems that come up with the film, but forget to follow up on the plot, for example, she is entangled in the paradoxical questions of the opening bar paragraph, which will keep coming up later. She thinks that most of the audience will do the same, and there are many, many things that cause pecking later.

After watching this film made by the two of them, her overall feeling of watching the movie was: "It's very dangerous." ”

The story is interesting, the characters are cool, the shots are the fast and sharp editing style of cult films, and many of the scenes are slowed down, beautiful and delicate and worth savoring...... Although I can't remember each line clearly, I remember how that large part happened.

For a commercial film with a production cost of 25 million, it is indeed different, and it is so different that it must be labeled as a cult film; as a gambling film, she studied a lot of gambling films before editing, and it has also achieved novelty and uniqueness, and in terms of card counting, it has humiliated previous movies including "The Hangover". But she still feels very dangerous, because this movie is like Magic Young, very smart and sharp.

If "Mit-21-Team" is cut into a stable commercial film, maybe the film critics will say "decent, a popcorn movie with some entertainment value", but she is sure that the movie tickets will not sell, with the fame of Miraculous Yang and the promotion of "Oscar Best Director 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 more risks, will the audience like the sharp edge? She doesn't know, she has seen too many movies like that sink into the sea, there are very few that are suddenly rated as classics, and some are box office hits and are widely acclaimed as soon as they are released.

Magic Young is just a 23-year-old young man, and it is very normal to be aggressive. Margaret is a little emotional, I have been cutting movies with him for a few years, and this guy's style has always changed, and now it is such a film that often switches between two seconds of continuous shooting, has many long shots and slow motion, and has a reversed structure and many flashback montages...... The spooky movie!

She felt like in an Oriental movie, where the swordsman and swordsman were engaged in a fierce battle, the bang and bump were so breathless that the camera suddenly stopped, and it was fixed in a long shot, and the swordsman and swordsman were also holding each other, but the wind blew their hair. Of course, "MIT-21-team" is a modern film full of campus and casino atmosphere.

"Actually, I think that's what it is, that's how the story should be, I'm going to make it like this! Every film is a kind of telling, the filmmaker telling the audience, so you have to consider the feelings of the audience, so that they will accept your story and your story, or you will be alone, or you are really superior. I don't pursue either, I like the audience. And now, I think this way of telling is the best, it is what it is, and if it is not so, then it is not what it is. ”

Hearing Wang Yang say this, Margaret could only nod, this movie has his magical name, and it will not lose money at worst, if there is no instability of the Chinese actor, it is even more certain that it will be a big hit in the first week. But what about the second week? What about the reviews of the film critics? What will be the outcome?

"Yes, it's finished!" On the balcony at night, Wang Yang leaned on the railing and looked at the dark sky in the distance, and smiled at the mobile phone in his hand: "Of course it's fast, we cut it for 25 hours a day! Now I look at everything frame by frame, it's a wonderful world." Natalie over there said with interest, "When will I see it? I'm really looking forward to it! What the hell is it like?"

"Margaret said fast, oppressive...... Well, I think you'll know when you see it, you'll see it. Wang Yang smiled, his heart was full of confidence, and said to her: "There is no soundtrack yet! Daniel also needs dubbing, and I will show you everything when it is done." But there's going to be a teaser in a few days, and there's not much to do, haha!" Natalie said indignantly, "Why don't I need a voiceover?"

"Because you don't need a voiceover. Wang Yang accosted, remembering a question that he hadn't asked for a long time, so he asked: "How are your studies? Can you graduate successfully?" Natalie suddenly said angrily: "No problem! I will graduate in June! I will be at your disposal at any time!"

Wang Yang knew that she was referring to the promotion and release of "MIT-21-team", he said and laughed: "Aren't you going to shoot "Star Wars Prequel 3"? But I have a question, should we go to Asia now?"

Speaking of this, Wang Yang's face couldn't help but sink, and the crew's plan to go to Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places for publicity in the summer may be canceled. As early as the beginning of the year, the world was swept by the SARS virus (**), of which Chinese mainland was the most serious disaster area, but until now the epidemic has not weakened, and it has further spread on a large scale, and many places in Asia have been banned by the WHO, and I don't know when the epidemic will end.

For this disaster, his charitable fund is doing its part. He was also eager to bring "mit-21-team" to China to meet fans, but he couldn't make it in the face of such a situation. If the ban is lifted in August, when the epidemic is over, he thinks he will go as planned, of course, in terms of hygiene.

Thinking of this, Wang Yang couldn't help but sigh, this year is really not reassuring! I hope that these unpleasant things will end soon! He said in a serious tone: "Let's see the situation when the time comes, if you allow, at least I will go." ”

He wouldn't force anyone to follow, and he wouldn't come either, anyway, he would never allow Jessica to go to any SARS-stricken area, her body's immunity was worse than that of ordinary people, and the common cold was particularly easy to be infected, and he didn't catch a cold once in a few years.

Natalie muttered in a deep voice, and this kind of unpredictable thing can only wait and see, she changed the subject: "You're going to make a new movie soon, right? ”

"Yes, "The Devil Wears Prada", it will be launched in two days. Wang Yang didn't think about those heavy things anymore, thinking about starting the camera immediately, glanced at the bedroom, and said softly: "Seriously, my enthusiasm for this movie has not reached its peak. Of course he has an interest in the story and a clear idea of the subject, otherwise he wouldn't have picked up the microphone, like "Sweetheart".

However, if there is a ranking of inputs, "District 9" is at the top so far, and "The Demon Wears Prada" is temporarily at the bottom, and he really misses the days when he made "District 9", although he is often depressed.

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

"Okay, I'll tell you now!" Wang Yang reflexively walked to the bedroom, and said with a serious smile: "Hurry up and write your paper!winner-winner, chicken-dinner!" Natalie also smiled: "winner-winner, chicken-dinner!"

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

Even if you want to avoid becoming a fashion show, Miranda, Andrea and others can't wear ordinary clothes and use ordinary handbags, which is not real and has no "atmosphere", as Patricia Field, who is the costume designer of the set, said: "Miranda needs to dress with great intelligence and grace, so that people can see at a glance that she is the boss." ”

Patricia Field is the costume designer of the hit TV series "** City", knows many people in the time circle, and has the ability to win over many fashion designers to agree to let their own clothing, accessories, shoes and bags appear in the movie, and even lend the limited edition bag to the crew.

However, it is worth mentioning that as early as the announcement of Flame Films to bring "The Devil Wears Prada" to the big screen, Anna Wintour warned people in the fashion industry not to participate in the filming of this film, she is the editor-in-chief of the American edition of "Vogue" magazine, Lauren Weisberg's former boss, the icon of the fashion industry, and the prototype of Miranda. But then Wang Yang announced that he would direct, and Flame Films and Patricia Field successfully invited many well-known people in the fashion industry to design clothes for the film, including Valentino and "Queen of Wedding Dresses" Vera Wang...... Seeing this situation, worthy of being "the devil who wears Prada", Anna Wintour immediately changed her attitude and expressed her willingness to attend the premiere of the movie, laughing that her clothes and shoes will be Prada all over her body at that time.

And the crew has attracted the sponsorship of Prada, as well as brands such as CK, Vivienne-Westwood, and Rick-Owens, Patricia Field is naturally very happy, especially Wang Yang's sentence "Don't care about the budget, take the effect as the standard". She can design clothes for Jessica, Meryl Streep and others to her heart's content, of course, she won't really spend much, and the budget for the costume production of the whole movie is at least 1 million. But compared to the 100,000 in other urban films, this number is already very expensive.

Now these costumes and luxuries, as well as other props from the movie, office scenes, etc., everything is ready to be turned on. The main set has New York live location, studio set and green screen, and the shooting time is expected to be one and a half months, and Wang Yang also has to follow up on the soundtrack of "MIT-21-team", this time with Christopher Baker.

"Beauty, what are you doing?" Wang Yang walked into the bedroom with his mobile phone, came to the side of the computer desk, and kissed Jessica's brown hair sitting in the chair.

Jessica clicked with the mouse with her right hand, looked at the computer screen, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just watching gossip news, Joshua just texted and said something...... He's on the gossip news: Gilmour Girl is in love......"

Wang Yang suddenly looked at the screen curiously, only to see Joshua and Alexis walking on the street in the picture, and there were some very intimate jokes, he laughed, the two did start to try to date, Joshua naturally said, "It feels good!" Wang Yang put his arm on her shoulder, and pretended to smile proudly: "Do you know? I taught him how to chase girls, so he had this love, and he belonged to the suitors who cut the queue later!"

"I teach him how to attract girls' attention, how to tell jokes, how to give girls a sense of security......" Wang Yang said a few words casually, looked at Jessica scrolling through the pictures on the screen, and sighed in a dragging voice: "I racked my brains for him, and then he did a good job, so he scored this winning goal and killed the opponent!

"So that's the case? Wonder Young, I can't see that you are still a master of chasing girls!" Jessica laughed out loud, looked up at him, remembered the scene from five years ago, frowned and made a disdainful expression, and asked, "Why didn't you chase me then?" She couldn't help but smile and said in disgust, "I thought you were a movie-only nerd, and then I confessed! Oh God......" She covered her face in embarrassment.

Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders slightly, God knows what he thought at that time? Maybe he should have confessed early in the morning. He said with a smile, "You don't know? Of course you don't." I'll tell you a Chinese idiom, want to catch the old man!" He laughed a few times, and in her puzzled eyes, he explained: "That is, you obviously want to catch that person, but you deliberately ignore him first, let him relax his vigilance, and then grasp it steadily!"

"No, you don't need to. Jessica looked at him with shining eyes, could it be that he was "trying to get away with it" again? But she wouldn't confess this time! Jessica curled the corners of her mouth, revealing her clean teeth, and her eyes and tone were a little suggestive: "You can confess at any time, at any time! Really, I was ready for a long time." ”

"Say it earlier! That day in the movie theater, I should have confessed!" Wang Yang lowered his head and kissed her hair fiercely: "Muma!" Jessica quietly rolled her eyes, all of them had already hinted, wait! She smiled: "Haha, if you confess that day, I will 50% agree." Wang Yang said in surprise: "So high?" Jessica laughed: "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 ambiguously, and said with a smile: "I have to think about it, what reward, reward ......" he said and walked around the room.

Jessica turned her head and continued to browse the gossip websites on the screen, holding the mouse and dragging it a few times, her eyes suddenly glared in surprise, and shouted, "Young, there is your gossip!" Could this be what Joshua said is something good to see? She frowned suspiciously, and said, "Amazing Young's high school love history?"

"What the hell!" Wang Yang couldn't help but wonder, how could there be his gossip and high school love history!? He hurriedly walked over, looking at the screen Jessica continued to read: "Yang has a beloved girlfriend Helen in high school, and their relationship is so good that they are about to get engaged...... " She stopped as she said and then laughed heartily: "Hahaha! It's still that one, Helen, I thought it was someone else!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, what's going on?" Wang Yang snatched the mouse and looked at it seriously.

There is not much information in this gossip, the name may not be fully exposed due to ** considerations, it should be exposed by a previous classmate, after all, it is not a secret, he has also taken Helen to various parties and dances a few times.

As a super popular young couple with childhood sweethearts, the attention of the two themselves is naturally very high, and their past private life and love history are also the objects of gossip media mining, if you can find some items such as photos, love letters and other items are very valuable. Now this gossip has obviously been investigated by the paparazzi in depth, and has gotten some more ordinary information, the name and feelings are good...... "Haha! interesting." Wang Yang looked at it and suddenly laughed, but Jessica pursed her lips, the article said that no wonder the flame movie would be called a flame movie, no wonder the actor of "Youth Musical" was called Troy, it turned out that they were all nostalgic for Helen (the name means torch and light). Wang Yang laughed amusedly, and said, "Interesting! But this kind of gossip is so fucking boring!" and he clicked a few times to close all these web pages.

Jessica has some inexplicable jealousy in her heart, obviously she is an ex-girlfriend from a long time ago, but ...... She asked, "Really? Flame is because she misses her." ”

"It's not. Wang Yang shook his head without thinking and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter at all......! Because I love flames!" He put his hands on her face, kissed her on the lips, looked into her eyes, and smiled: "Don't force me to change the name of the company to Fortune Movies, you know it's quite old-fashioned, it's actually not bad, but it's old-fashioned." ”

"Young movie, more old-fashioned!" Jessica bit her lip and smiled, that little bit of jealousy gradually disappeared, she was stimulated by "engagement", but now is the time!

Wang Yang pinched her cheek, walked to the bookcase, and said with a smile: "I didn't think of this at the beginning. He changed the subject and said seriously: "Jessica, the movie is about to start, are you ready? I will be very strict!"

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