When Miranda heard what Chen Feng said, she asked excitedly and unconfidently: "Really? Can I really do it? You haven't told me what kind of movie this movie is? Can you read the script now?
?”
Chen Feng explained: "This is both a fashion film and an inspirational film. I temporarily titled the film "The Devil Wears Prada", which is about a heroine who is new to society. Use your name Miranda,
Came to a famous magazine for an interview, and relied on her intelligence to become the second assistant to the female editor-in-chief Andy. At the beginning, the heroine Miranda's work was not going well. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get appreciation.
After some advice, she reinvented herself, and her work became smoother and smoother, even replacing the first assistant's position in the chief editor's heart. She decided to take this smart girl to France.
However, Miranda's change caused her to lose the love of her boyfriend and friends, making her very conflicted. After arriving in France, she learned that the position of editor-in-chief Andy was in danger. Later, the editor-in-chief sacrificed his good partner of many years to save his position.
Miranda was deeply disappointed with her own status, and finally she left to find her lost happiness. This movie involves the fashion industry, and you are now a model, so it suits you very well."
In order to make Miranda more suitable for this movie, Chen Feng swapped the names of the two heroines in the original work. In the original work, the female editor-in-chief was originally named Miranda, and the assistant was named Andy.
After hearing this, Miranda couldn't help but said with great interest: "It sounds very good. I think I should be able to play this assistant well. Because, when I first came to Fog City, I worked as an assistant for several months.
.Those days were very unforgettable.”
Chen Feng said happily: "Really? That's great. Originally, I was worried that you had no similar experience in real life, so I planned to let you practice it for a week or two."
Emily said from the side: "I can testify to Randa about this. When she was working as an assistant, I was her co-worker. After we met, we knew that we both liked acting and wanted to be actors, so we became good friends.
.”
Chen Feng nodded and said: "Then there is no problem. As long as you put in the experience and state of mind of being an assistant at that time, this role should not be difficult to play. However, if you want to make this movie successfully, you must have an experienced actor.
Gu Lai plays the role of the female editor-in-chief. The scene between you and her must be exciting. This is the biggest attraction. The acting skills of the female editor-in-chief, coupled with your beauty. The other main attraction is those luxurious and high-priced items.
There are amazing fashionable clothes and fashionable and cutting-edge products. From the latest Apple computers to the most cutting-edge dangerous hiptop mobile phones, from the silver-white commemorative version of Motorola V3 to the Mercedes-Benz S550, these luxury goods must be displayed as much as possible.
Then there are the costumes in this movie. My budget for the costume jewelry alone is US$1 million."
Miranda and Emily were speechless after hearing this.
Emily said: "Then when this movie is made, it will definitely be very interesting. With so many fashion elements, I think any woman will choose to watch it. Chen, can you give me a role? I also want to participate.
In this movie.”
Miranda also helped to plead: "How about letting Emily play the female editor-in-chief, so that we can have a better understanding when we play opposite each other."
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "The role of this female chief editor is very critical. First of all, she is a bit old, at least fifty or sixty years old, which Emily does not meet. In addition, in terms of personal temperament and acting skills, she must be the best in the industry.
After all, the female editor-in-chief in the movie is the godmother of fashion. Emily, do you feel confident in portraying this role well?"
Emily really wants to say that I have confidence. But she can't lie to herself. What Chen Feng just said is very clear. He needs famous veteran actors in Hollywood, not her who just played a small character in a soap opera.
character. She is not Miranda.
Emily could only smile bitterly and shake her head: "Originally, I wanted to say that I was confident. But I know that this is basically impossible."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Don't belittle yourself. You and Landa are both very hard-working people. I believe your acting skills will get better and better in the future. When the time comes, as long as the roles are suitable, I will support you and Miranda."
Starring. Well, this time, you are not suitable for the role of the female editor-in-chief. But for the other supporting role, which is the female editor-in-chief’s first assistant, I set it up according to you in the script, and the name is directly after yours, Ai.
Milly, you and Miranda also have many scenes in the movie, and you often make fun of Miranda. You can be said to be the number one supporting actress."
"Awesome!" Emily's face was full of surprise and excitement.
Miranda was also very happy to give her a high-five. It can be said that both of them have been waiting for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. An opportunity to become a real movie actor.
Although Miranda had starred in a movie before, her movie was really hard to like, and her distant cousin almost went bankrupt because of it.
"Chen, thank you. Thank you very much. Don't you know how long I have been waiting for this moment to be able to act in a movie? It has been at least ten years. I have always dreamed of acting in a movie since I was a child. But so far, I
At most, I just play a small role in a TV series with only a few lines, and sometimes there are no scenes. I am really unwilling to do so."
When Emily said this, she became a little excited and her eyes turned red. Miranda quickly hugged her to comfort her.
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Don't forget, you are now a contracted artist of our Summit Entertainment. If you have a good role, of course I will leave it to you. You and Miranda are both mine."
Miranda also smiled and said: "Yes. Emily, when you make money from the movie, Chen will take a commission."
"Sorry, I'm really too excited." Emily gathered her emotions and smiled on her face.
"The script hasn't been printed yet. However, don't print it yet. I will send the electronic draft to Landa and keep it confidential."
Hearing this, Miranda quickly urged: "Then hurry up and turn on the computer and send me the script. I can't wait to read it now. Hurry up."
Seeing this, Chen Feng did not delay. He went back to his room, turned on his computer and sent the electronic draft of the script to Miranda.
Miranda went directly to Emily's room, and the two of them couldn't wait to read the script.
In fact, he started writing this script when he acquired the language proficiency skills. Now he still has the director proficiency skills. When filming "Charlotte" before, he took the time to give the storyboard every night.
Get it done.
Next, he plans to leave all the preparations for this movie to the Meili Beauty Company. After all, they are a local company and they are still in Hollywood, so they have natural advantages.
Chen Feng went back to Miranda and his room first, and waited until almost eleven o'clock before he saw Miranda come back to the room.
As soon as she came in, she gave Chen Feng a passionate kiss. She said with a bright smile: "Dear, you are really great. Amy and I both like this movie very much. More importantly, you
The script also contains a lot of materials for luxury accessories and high-end clothing. By then, the clothes we will be wearing will be from the world's top brands, which is exciting to think about."
"As long as you like it. However, the costumes and luxury goods in this movie are a major attraction. What's more important is the acting skills of you and the female editor-in-chief. This is the core of this movie.
"
"Of course I know. The role of the female editor-in-chief The Devil is very important, so who do you plan to invite to play this role?"
"The first choice in my mind is Meryl Streep. She has won two Oscars. There is no doubt about her acting skills. And she is a big star."
Meryl, also known as Aunt May, is one of the top female actors in Hollywood. Even though she is old now, she is still very popular.
Of course Emily also knew Aunt Mei and hesitated: "Is she suitable? The female editor-in-chief is the godmother of fashion, and the movies she made before have nothing to do with fashion."
Chen Feng said very honestly: "She is different from you. Her acting skills do not require her to experience being a fashion godmother or the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine. She only needs to deeply grasp the soul of the character and successfully portray her.
That's fine. If she agrees, as long as she changes her look and returns a few sets of clothes, she will definitely be able to play this role well."
Emily nodded doubtfully, and then hesitantly said: "But her salary should not be low, right? Maybe five million US dollars. This will eliminate half of your ten million US dollars investment."
Chen Feng nodded and said: "According to her current net worth, it would cost five million US dollars, but there is no guarantee. After all, she has not released a particularly good movie in recent years. And I am confident that my movie script can impress her.
. Her salary can only be within 3 million US dollars. Otherwise, she can only hire someone else."
"Then can you really control the cost of this movie within ten million US dollars? I think some scenes in it will cost a lot of money. What if the budget is overrun?" Miranda was worried about Chen Feng.
Get up. After all, an investment of ten million US dollars is not a small amount. And she had no idea that Chen Feng's box office share of this return to China was tens of millions of US dollars.
"I am looking for other investors for this movie. By then, the budget will really be exceeded, so I won't be afraid if there are investors. Besides, you don't know yet. My current net worth is 50 to 60 million U.S. dollars.
I don’t want anyone else to invest in this movie because I don’t need those investors’ publicity channels. Because I believe that after this movie is made, the box office will not be too bad.”
Miranda smiled and said: "Seeing that you are so confident in this movie makes me even more confident. My dear, you are so good to me, I don't even know how to repay you."
Chen Feng said with a smile: "It's actually easy to repay, you know."
Miranda understood immediately, lightly slapped Chen Feng on the arm, and said coquettishly: "You are bad. I have already said that, and you must not do it before getting married."
"Okay. I'm just talking." Chen Feng nodded pretending to be disappointed, then leaned in and whispered a few words to Miranda.
Miranda's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, but she still nodded coyly.
Chen Feng was ecstatic, kissed her, and said with a smile: "Thank you, dear. I knew you were the best."
…
Early the next morning, Chen Feng woke up feeling refreshed. He rarely ran on the treadmill in the living room for a few minutes. After sweating, he took a shower.
When he came out of the bathroom, Miranda finally got up. When she saw Chen Feng, her face turned red and she avoided looking.
With a sweet smile on his face, Chen Feng asked: "My dear, do you want to go to Beauty Beauty with me today?"
Miranda shook her head and said: "I'm not going. I have to go to a shopping mall to do a catwalk today."
Chen Feng sighed and said: "You are really too busy. And I don't think you need to answer this small announcement for a shopping mall catwalk."
"I'm not a star now. And if I do a show, I can get 50,000 US dollars, which only takes one or two hours. I think it's a good deal."
"Okay. Just do it if you like it. However, after you change your agent in the future, you won't have to work so hard. Especially after your movie is filmed and released, you won't need to do such low-end catwalk shows and print ads at all.
I took it because you lowered your grade."
"As long as you don't mind, of course I don't want to be so busy every day."
The two of them finished breakfast lovingly together and fed Emily and Zhao Wenxiu, who were at the same table, dog food.
The two left in the car together, first taking Chen Feng to the Beauty Beauty Company, and then taking Miranda to the shopping mall where the catwalk was held.
Meilijiaren Company is now famous in the singer circle, and the company has taken advantage of the situation to sign several artists with development potential. Among them are two third-tier male singers and one male and one female third-tier actor. Their characteristics are that they are young, handsome and beautiful
.The three men are all under the age of twenty-five. One of the two singers sings rock music and the other sings love songs. They all have certain creative abilities. They have all released records before, but they have not become popular. The male actor
She has outstanding acting skills and is a child star. She has already participated in more than a dozen film and television dramas. The actress is only 20 years old and very beautiful. She was previously a supporting actress in a popular American drama.
Only signing these four people was due to the persuasion of Trelawen and Lisa. The conditions of these four people were indeed very good in all aspects. If they signed, they would make a profit without losing anything. Otherwise, Chen Feng would not want to sign any of them.
The reason is very simple. Chen Feng's main purpose of acquiring Beauty Beauty Company was to enter Hollywood, to praise Miranda, and to make money in the United States. He really had little interest in cultivating new talents. Before, he wanted to praise Miranda
The main purpose of Red Tiffany and Tina is just to make money. And now they have indeed made a lot of money for the company.
Yesterday, Chen Feng notified Lisa and Teralon in advance that he would come to the company today. Therefore, when Chen Feng arrived at the company today, they were not surprised.
As soon as Chen Feng arrived, he summoned several key members of the company and his artists for a meeting.
By the time he finished listening to Theresa's work report in the office, almost half an hour later, everyone in the conference room had arrived.
The two quickly went to the conference room.
This conference room is not very big. After more than a dozen people sit down, there is basically no extra space. This may be the reason why Chen Feng does not want to expand the company, because if it expands, he will have to change the office location, which is very troublesome.
