It can be said that Yi Feiyang is definitely a man of action. After deciding to write the script of "The Queen Wears Prada", a meeting was held.
At the meeting, Yi Feiyang solicited everyone's opinions on his script.
As the vice president, Dures was the first to give his opinion. He believed that the audience of this drama was too narrow.
"Yes, this drama is a comedy, telling stories about the fashion industry, but the protagonists are almost all women. In other words, the audience for this drama is also women, and they are women who are interested in fashion.
.In this way, we have given up on the vast male audience, which will put a lot of pressure on the box office."
Dures's words were very concise and his meaning was very simple, that is, the audience for this drama was too single.
Rabbit Bill raised his hand to object to Dures's view. Bill said: "It is true that the audience for "The Devil Wears Prada" is relatively single, but don't forget that there is a classic Jewish saying that there are two kinds of people in this world.
The best money for breeding people is children and women!"
"I believe that as long as we target the female audience to film this drama, it will be warmly welcomed by them. In a word, we will definitely make a lot of money in their pockets!"
The different opinions of Bill and Dures triggered everyone's discussion. Then the fat man Gao Jiabao made a suggestion, "If you want to ensure the box office, you must achieve low investment and high returns. Although I don't know as much about movies as you do.
, but one thing I know very well is that comedies have always had the potential to "cut a big tree with a small knife." For example, last year's Christmas movie "Fake Dad" made everyone dumbfounded. It only cost less than 10 million US dollars.
With a budget of over 200 million US dollars, it has achieved a global box office of more than 200 million U.S. dollars. This compares to several blockbusters with an investment of over 100 million U.S. dollars. Therefore, I firmly believe that comedies are the breeding ground for miracles, and this "The Devil Wears Prada" is a great selling point!
"
Fatty Gao's words can't help but make everyone sit up and take notice. Fatty has always given people the impression of being wretched and greedy for money. Especially as the financial controller, he controls the entire company's money bag. It can be said that he controls it tightly, even the toilet paper in the toilet.
, it is clearly specified how much each person should tear at one time... In Yi Feiyang's words, Fatty is a good "housekeeper", but occasionally he can go too far.
But what Fatty said just now made everyone feel fresh and new. Yes, no one expected Fatty to 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 as General Manager Gao said, comedies have always been successful.
It has the potential of being a dark horse, and this drama I have created is not something I can boast about myself, but the story is absolutely wonderful! Well, I just say it is unproven, why not do this, after I write the script, everyone can review it together, and then
It’s not too late to make a decision!”
Yi Feiyang made the final decision. The plan for the drama "Wears Prada" was temporarily approved. Immediately afterwards, Yi Feiyang approved a very special drama. This drama will continue to follow the song and dance route - "High School Musical"
.
"High School Musical" was proposed by Fat Jack Black. Fat Jack is very good at cooking, or in other words, he is very good at following trends. After Yi Feiyang's "Dance Floor" became a hit, he started planning to shoot a musical.
, I conceived a very good story by myself, and then gave it to Yi Feiyang for review. Yi Feiyang put forward some of his own suggestions and opinions. After revising it three times, it was finally confirmed by Yi Feiyang as the title of "High School Musical".
Of course, this "High School Musical" is definitely two different things from the one in the previous life. They just borrowed the name. However, after Yi Feiyang revised it, the whole story is even more exciting than the previous one.
Regarding Fat Jack's play, everyone in the entire meeting almost unanimously raised their hands to approve it.
The reason why this is so is as follows:
First, the name "High School Musical" sounds cool. Second, with the big backer of "Dance Floor", the box office will definitely be the same. Third, the cast is also very impressive, with Jessica and Pars leading the way.
The leading actor and male protagonist is Gyllen Hill. Fourth, the budget is extremely low, only 8 million US dollars in total. Fifth, and most importantly, King Michael Jackson agreed to appear as an Easter egg at the end of the film!
Based on the above five reasons, no matter how stupid everyone is, they know that this drama has a "money potential". In order to get more dividends in the future, and for the dream to once again sweep the box office, this drama has become the "dark horse" to compete in the next period.
Fat Jack was very proud. He was happy for his career. Since he joined his boss Yi Feiyang, although he has had many filming opportunities, he has mostly been acting as a producer, producer, or assistant director. Compared with working with him,
Joining the dreamy Rabbit Bill, that guy is working with the great director Al Gore to create "Pirates of the Caribbean". As for me, I have already finished filming "Chainsaw 2" with James Wan. I have nothing to do now, so I can't be too behind.
.So Jack thought hard and started to follow the trend. After all, he couldn't go wrong with the role of Boss Yi, and he would definitely have a head start in the musical.
Facts have proved that his decision was wise and correct!
Now, he can take charge of everything and be the director of "High School Musical".
Of course, there is the last hurdle, which is to get the budget from the stingy fat man Gao Jiabao.
Why should a fat man embarrass a fat man?!
In Jack Black's opinion, as long as he is sincere enough, he will definitely be able to impress this fat guy.
…
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 strong point. No matter what kind of script it is, as long as he has an idea in his mind, he can write it with ease.
But this time it's different.
The reason is that he is stuck!
That’s right, I just got stuck while creating!
All along, Yi Feiyang has never encountered any bottleneck or jam in writing scripts. Every script is written in one go. But now, he really can't write anymore. It's not because he can't make up a story.
On the contrary, I have so many storylines in my mind that I just can’t write them down. Why is this happening? The reason is that this drama involves a lot of fashion terms!
Yes, it was these hateful, heart-wrenching fashion words that left Yi Feiyang helpless.
He himself is not the kind of person who is very fashionable and chases trends...shame on him. For this reason, he even laughed at Anne Hathaway for being too "fashionable". Only now does he realize that he is also clumsy.
Fashion is a kind of taste and a philosophy of life, rather than simply what clothes to wear or what brand to wear.
When it comes to dressing up, Yi Feiyang has always had the habit of doing whatever he wants, as long as he is comfortable. He also wears well-known brand-name suits on formal occasions. But this does not mean that he is proficient in topics such as fashion.
In his previous life, "The Devil Wears Del Prada" was adapted from a novel, but now that the novel has not come out, Yi Feiyang has no place to learn from. For some fashion academic terms and fashion topics required in the script, he
It’s really extremely barren!
I have never encountered someone who couldn't write a script because he wasn't "fashionable" enough. Yi Feiyang had a lot of headaches about this.
But soon, Yi Feiyang thought of a way. Since he didn't understand fashion, he could ask others for advice. The first thing he thought of was Michael Jackson.
Since he has been canonized as the King of Pop by the public, he must be very familiar with these fashion coordinates.
When I called, it seemed that Mike on the other end was playing host to his baby daughter, Paris. Mike was lying on the ground panting. After understanding Yi Feiyang's intention, Mike almost burst out laughing.
"Oh God, this can't be true, right? Dear Yi, you don't understand the current fashion?"
Yi Feiyang was not polite: "Aren't you talking nonsense? If I could handle it, I wouldn't call you for advice."
"Oh, I'm sorry, dear Yi, to be honest, I'm not too sensitive about fashion... As for why I look so trendy, I have to thank my personal image designer. Every time I go out, he will design it for me.
The most fashionable image. Without him, I would be really embarrassed to go out... In fact, dear Yi, I have said before that as a star, you have to design your image, but you are unwilling to listen. Do you want me now?
Lend him to you?"
"Then let's get rid of it. You need him too, don't you? How could I make you unable to go out for my own sake..." Yi Feiyang refused, "I'd better call someone to ask for advice! Well, I wish you happiness.
I told little Paris that Uncle Yi loves her and she is the most beautiful little princess!"
Yi Feiyang hung up the phone and wondered who to call next, Madonna? She should be the most suitable, but when he thought that Madonna was still helping Annie and the others in class, he was already busy enough, so Yi Feiyang gave up the trouble.
thoughts.
"Other than the king and queen of Hollywood, who else can be called a world-class fashion king?!" Yi Feiyang tapped his fingers lightly on the table and thought.
Suddenly, a person appeared in his mind, an old man, to be precise, a little old man with white hair and a ponytail on the back of his head!
That’s right, it’s Karl Lagerfeld, the so-called Caesar of the fashion world!
Yes, it's him!
The last time Yi Feiyang was invited to attend the Christmas dinner hosted by the Hilton family, he met the fashion industry's Lafayette at the banquet, and the two had a "very happy conversation". To be precise, it was the Lafayette who had been in Yi Feiyang's ears.
Nagging, Yi Feiyang can only apologize.
Unexpectedly, now I have to trouble him to "nag" about some fashion.
Thinking of this, Yi Feiyang couldn't help laughing.
