Chapter 232. 【Creation Jam】
In other words, Yi Feiyang is definitely a doer. After deciding to write the script for "The Queen Wears Pula", a meeting was held.
At the meeting, Yi Feiyang solicited everyone's views on his script.
As vice president, Dures was the first to give his opinion, which he believed was too narrow for the audience.
"Yes, this play is a comedy, it tells the story of the fashion industry, but the main characters are almost all women, which means that the audience for this play is also women, and they are women who are interested in fashion. In this way, we are tantamount to giving up the majority of male audiences, and there will be a lot of pressure at the box office. ”
Dures's words are very concise, and the meaning is very simple, that is, the audience of this play is too single.
Bill the Rabbit raised his hand against Dures's view, and Bill said: "It is true that the audience of this "Queen Wears Prada" is relatively simple, but don't forget that there is a classic Jewish saying, there are two kinds of people in this world who make the best money, and that is children and women!" ”
"I believe that as long as we shoot this film for female audiences, we will definitely be warmly welcomed by them. In a word, the money in their pockets, we dream of earning it! ”
Bill and Durres had different opinions, which sparked discussion, and then the fat man Gao Jiabao made a suggestion, "If you want to guarantee the box office, you must achieve low investment and high returns." Although I don't know as much about movies as you do, one thing I know very well is that comedies have always had the potential to be 'small knives and saws big trees', for example, last year's Christmas "Fake Dad" made everyone dumbfounded, with a budget of less than $10 million. It has received more than $200 million at the global box office. compared several blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million. Therefore. I firmly believe that comedy is a breeding ground for miracles, and this "Queen Wears Prada" is a big sell! ”
Gao Fatman's words couldn't help but impress everyone. All along, fat people give the impression of being obscene and greedy for money. Especially as the chief financial officer, he controls the money bag of the entire company, which can be said to be tightly controlled, and even the toilet paper in the toilet, how much each person should tear at a time is clearly defined...... In Yi Feiyang's words, the fat man is a very good "housekeeper wife". Occasionally, though, he will go overboard.
But what the fat man said just now made everyone refreshed, yes, for the fat man's understanding, everyone never thought that he would say such powerful words.
Seeing that everyone was "shocked" by the words of the fat man Gao Jiabao, Yi Feiyang knocked on the table and said: "Okay, I understand what everyone means, but just like Mr. Gao said, comedy has always had the potential to become a dark horse, and I created this drama." It's not that I'm boasting about myself, but the story is absolutely wonderful! Well. It's better to say that there is no evidence, it's better to do this, after I write the script, we can review it together, and it's not too late to make a decision then! ”
Yi Feiyang made a final decision, and temporarily passed the plan for the play "Wearing Queen Prada", and then Yi Feiyang approved a very special play, which is to continue to take the song and dance route - "Song and Dance Youth".
"Youth Musical" was proposed by Fat Jack Black. Fat Jack is very good at frying leftovers, or very good at following the trend, after Yi Feiyang's "Dance Floor Competition" became popular, he began to plan and shoot a song and dance film, and conceived a very good story by himself, and then handed it over to Yi Feiyang for review, Yi Feiyang put forward some of his own suggestions and opinions, and after three revisions, the most Lu was named "Youth of Singing and Dancing Youth" by Yi Feiyang, and it was determined.
Of course, this "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" is definitely different from the one in the previous life, but the name is just borrowed, but after Yi Feiyang has revised it, the whole story is even more exciting than the one in the previous life.
For Fat Jack's play, everyone almost collectively raised their hands to approve the whole meeting.
Here's why:
First, "Youth Musical" is cool when you hear the name. Second, with the big backer of the previous "Dance Floor Competition", the box office is definitely not bad. Third, the cast is also very strong, with Jessica and Pars starring, and Gyllen Hill as the male lead. Fourth, the budget is ultra-low, with a total of only $8 million. Fifth, and most importantly, Mike Jackson promised to act as an easter egg at the end of the credits and show his face once!
Based on the above five reasons, no matter how stupid the big guy is, he knows that this drama is very "money", in order to share more dividends in the future, and for the dream to sweep the box office again, this drama has become a "dark horse" for the next schedule.
Fat Jack was proud, and he was glad that he would only be happy. Since following the boss Yi Feiyang, although there are many opportunities for filming, many times he acts as a producer, producer, or assistant director. Compared to Bill the Rabbit, who joined the fantasy with him, that guy is teaming up with the great director Gore to create "Pirates of the Caribbean". As for myself, I have finished filming with James Wing in "Chainsaw 2", and now I have nothing to do, so I can't be too far behind. So Jack thought hard and began to follow the trend, after all, Boss Yi's play can't be wrong, and there must be a head in making a song and dance film.
As it turned out, he made the right decision!
Now, he can take charge of everything and be the director of the play "Youth Musical".
Of course, there is the last level, that is, to get the budget from the fat man Gao Jiabao, who slammed the door to death.
Why bother fat people with fat people?!
In Jack Black's opinion, as long as he is sincere enough, he will definitely be able to impress this dead fat man.
……
Compared with Jack Black, who is about to start filming, Yi Feiyang has to face the fact that he has to write the script!
In other words, writing scripts has always been Yi Feiyang's strength, no matter what kind of script it is, as long as he has an idea in his mind, he can write it like a god.
But this time was different.
The reason is, he's stuck!
That's right, it's just stuck in the creation!
For a long time, Yi Feiyang has never encountered a bottleneck in the creation of scripts, and any script is done in one go. But now, he really can't write. It's not that he can't make up a story, on the contrary, he can't write a storyline full of stories, why is this happening? The reason is that this drama involves a lot of fashion terms!
Yes, it is these hateful, heart-wrenching fashion words that make Yi Feiyang at a loss.
He doesn't belong to the kind of person who is very fashionable and follows trends...... Shame, for this reason, he also laughed at Anne Hathaway for being too "dirty", and now he knows that he is also dirty.
Fashion is a kind of taste and a philosophy of life, rather than simply what clothes to wear and what famous brands to wear.
In terms of dressing, Yi Feiyang has always been in the habit of doing whatever he wants, as long as he is comfortable, and he also wears a brand-name suit that can be worn on the table on formal occasions. But this does not mean that he is proficient in such topics as fashion.
In his previous life, "The Queen Wears Depra" was adapted from the novel, but now the novel has not yet come out, and Yi Feiyang has nowhere to learn if he wants to learn from it.
I have never encountered it, because it is not "fashionable" enough, and I can't write a script, Yi Feiyang has a headache about it.
But soon, Yi Feiyang thought of a way, since he didn't know how to be fashionable, he could ask others. The first thing that came to his mind was Mike Jackson.
Since he has been canonized as the king of pop by the public, he is already familiar with these fashion coordinates.
When I called, it seemed that Mike was being a big horse for his baby daughter Barry, and Mike was lying on the ground panting. After understanding Yi Feiyang's intentions, Mike almost laughed.
"Oh God, it can't be true, can it? Dear Yi, you don't even know what fashion is trending now? ”
Yi Feiyang was also polite: "Aren't you talking nonsense, if I could handle it, I wouldn't call you to ask for advice." ”
"Oh I'm sorry, dear Yi, to be honest, I'm not too sensitive to fashion touches...... As for what I think will look so trendy, it is thanks to my personal image designer, every time I go out, he will design me a trendiest image, without him, I am really embarrassed to go out...... In fact, dear Yi, I said earlier, as a star, you have to design an image, but you refuse to listen, now do you want me to lend him to you? ”
"That's better to be free, you also need him, don't you, how can I hurt you for your own sake...... Yi Feiyang refused, "I'd better call and ask someone else!" Well, I wish you happiness, and say to little Balley for me, Uncle Yi loves her, she is the most beautiful little princess! ”
Yi Feiyang hung up the phone, wondering who to call next, Madonna? She should be the most suitable, but when she thought that Madonna was still helping Annie and them in class, she was already busy enough, Yi Feiyang dispelled the idea of troublesome people.
"In addition to this Hollywood king and queen, who can be called the king of fashion in the world?!" Yi Feiyang gently tapped the table with his fingers and thought.
Suddenly, a person appeared in his mind, an old man, to be precise, a little white-haired old man with a ponytail on the back of his head!
That's right, it's the Julius Caesar of the fashion industry - Karl Lagerfeld!
Yes, that's him!
The last time Yi Feiyang was invited to the Christmas dinner held by the Hilton family, he met the Lafayette in the fashion industry at the banquet, and the two "talked very happily", to be precise, the Lafayette has been nagging in Yi Feiyang's ear, and Yi Feiyang can only laugh.
Unexpectedly, now I have to trouble him to "nag" some fashion.
Thinking of this, Yi Feiyang couldn't help laughing. (To be continued......)
