Head to head Hollywood 903 Author Qian Duxue Full text 3317 words

In the United States, the luxury of a house can be seen by the number of trees. If there are no trees around the house, it must be a slum; if there are few trees around the house, it means the owner is a low-income class. If there are more trees around the house and can interact with the house, it means that the owner's identity should be very high. If the house is located in a "forest", then the owner of the house is very powerful. It must be a rich man and a big man. This kind of house is usually called a "manor". The Long Island area is rich in land, and there are few forests. Moreover, although Anna Wintour is famous and is the queen of fashion, her economic conditions cannot match her reputation. She is just a magazine editor-in-chief. Her home... belongs to the "ghetto" of Long Island, and there are no trees around. Dunn and Sharapova got off the helicopter, and the most indispensable thing in the Long Island area is the apron. With a box of small gifts, I walked to the door of the villa and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a delicately carved young girl with a pair of crystal eyes, who could see who was coming, and screamed, "Yah! Dunn!" Then she turned her head and shouted at the inside: "Mom , Tang En is here!" How can there be a bit of a graceful look in front of the media camera? A teenage girl after all. Dunn laughed dumbly, winked at her, "think about it...you are Princess Shaffer, right?" Her name is Catherine Shaffer, the daughter of Anna Wintour. In fashion circles, her mother is called "queen", she is naturally "princess". Only then did Catherine Schaffer lift up her skirt and curtsy politely, "Sir, you are welcome as a guest!" At this moment, Anna Wintour walked over with a smile, "Dawn, it's an honor. You can come to my house as a guest, come in quickly... Oh? This is Miss Sharapova, right?" Sharapova said in surprise: "Ma'am, do you know me?" Anna Wintour said with a smile : "How come I don't know the most fashionable female player in the tennis world? Come in!" Katherine Schaffer blushed a little, and gave Dunn and Sharapova a deep look. Although she is only 17 years old and still in high school, she is already an executive editor of "VOGUE" magazine, and her knowledge of the fashion circle... has also increased. The fashion circle and the entertainment circle are originally separated by a thin line. Where can it go? Looking at Dunn and Sharapova hand in hand, you can see that their relationship is very unusual. "Bringing a lover to someone else's house as a guest is amazing!" Katherine Schaffer thought to herself as she watched the two enter the living room as if nothing had happened, stuck her tongue out. At this time, Anna Wintour gave her daughter a cautious look, "Bi, pay attention to your attitude!" Catherine Schaffer's nickname was "Bi", she said impatiently: "I see! "Also, don't date him!" Anna Wintour seemed to be worried and warned in a low voice. Catherine Shaffer blushed and said: "Mom, what are you talking about? Hurry up and entertain your guests! I won't date a philanderer!" "You don't worship him?" "Worship is worship , like it or like it, it's different!" "It's good if you understand." "Oh, everyone is waiting, hurry up!"... The living room is very spacious, and the decoration is relatively luxurious. Although this is the "ghetto" of Long Island, it is Long Island after all. Housing prices are higher than in the richest areas of many big cities. "Dawn, I remember... You told me that you want to make a movie based on me." Anna Wintour greeted the two eagerly and took their seats. Dunn smiled, "I haven't forgotten it!" At the fashion ball at the Metropolitan Museum, Dunn told her that he would put Lauren Weisberg's novel "The Queen Wearing Prada" on the big screen. One of the heroine prototypes is Anna Wintour. "Isn't there any news yet?" "Actually, I mentioned it last year, but this project is a little troublesome." Tang En shook his head, but did not hide it. The project proposal for "The Devil Wears Prada" has long been submitted, but it has not been officially launched. The main reason is that there is no way to choose the director. Dunn has already said that this movie needs to be carefully crafted. Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway will star, and Rose Byrne, the smash hit "Wasp", will be supporting actresses. In addition, Angel supermodel Gisele Bundchen will also appear in the show... The lineup is very strong. In order to grasp such a strong lineup, a good director is essential. But there is a problem with who the director chooses. Big-name directors are disdainful to take over the project "The Devil Wears Prada". To put it bluntly, this is an extended version of the fashion advertising film, which has no technical content and film art at all. It's like asking a big Hollywood director to shoot a music video, it's almost impossible. If you choose a rookie director... it's not appropriate. I'm afraid it will be difficult for a rookie director to control so many popular female stars. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Rose Byrne, none of them are good. 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-production of "Ant-Man 2" and "Avengers", very tired and needs a rest; Anne Hathaway has taken over "Pirates 3" and "Pirates 4" Two big projects, two movies will start shooting at the same time. For various reasons, the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" has not been able to start. "But don't worry, when my movie... is finished next year, then several leading actors will be free. At that time, the film will definitely start shooting. If nothing else, in 2006, the movie will be released. It can be released." A movie is optional for Dunn, it doesn't matter. But for Anna Wintour it meant too much. Don't look at her omnipotent in the fashion circle, but, in many cases, the fashion circle is only a marginal area of ​​the entertainment circle. Just like Gisele Bundchen, who is a supermodel on the top of the fashion circle, in the movie circle, he has to play a small supporting role obediently. Dunn thought that Anna Wintour would discuss the topic of movies, but she didn't expect that she suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, what do you think of Prada?" "Prada?" Dunn was slightly startled, then smiled, "I don't know much. I usually wear Armani's brands, or custom clothes. But... Prada is such a famous luxury brand, it should be very good, right?" Anna Wintour shook her head and said sternly: "Not good. , very bad!" Dunn was a little suspicious, "What do you mean?" Anna Wintour glanced at her daughter Catherine Shaffer, who was sitting obediently on the side, and Sharapova, who was tall and very outrageous, and said: " Bea, take Miss Sharapova to the cloakroom, you should have a common language about fashion." "Okay." Boss Katherine Schaffer was not happy, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only take Sharapova with him leave. "Ms. Wintour, do you have anything to do?" "Just call me Anna." "Okay, Anna." Dunn smiled, the other party was really old. Anna Wintour said softly: "Dawn, then I'll just say it straight, based on my observation... Of course it's a very superficial observation, New Universal Group's industries are widely distributed, from movies, to TV, from the Internet. , to TV stations, from hardware technology, to software games, as well as tourism and vacation and consumer goods business. But... there is no fashion industry, right?" "Fashion industry?" Tang En's heart jumped, and he gave her a deep look, no Said vigorously, "The consumer goods department will also have some services for sale." Anna Wintour said disapprovingly: "What kind of fashion is that?" Maybe she felt that the words were too much, so she added another sentence and said with a smile: " As the richest man in the world, you shouldn't be playing those low-end clothes, right?" "So..." Dunn paused~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and stared into her eyes, "You mean Prada?" Anna Wintour said: "According to my observation, your industrial layout of New Universal Group has a wide range, but they all revolve around a core theme, that is, movies. It is precisely fashion that is the biggest derivative of movies! Movies are art, but fashion is the originator of all arts!" Dunn laughed and said, "Is this sentence biased?" Anna Wintour said as a matter of course: "Not at all! Imagine, in ancient times, Ape-men used tree bark to cover their bodies, and art such as painting, music, and film did not exist at that time, and how to use different kinds of leaves to design different styles of 'clothing' was the original human art." Dunn directly worshipped. incredible! Anna Wintour continued to explain: "Clothing on people who are walking, sitting and lying down is a flowing art, a soft sculpture that shows our living conditions. In order to make more and more patterns of leaf and bark clothes, ape people They started to write and draw on the ground with branches, which is the earliest clothing design. When a piece of clothing made of leaves and bark was completed, the apes were very happy, singing and dancing around together, wherever they wanted to be. Picking up the branches around him and beating against the stones, the earliest 'percussion' was born. From costumes to dance, and then from dance to music, later musicals and film and television dramas were finally born." Tang En said this. The remarks are deeply impressed, and she is indeed the queen of fashion. Not only is her fashion taste high enough, but her fashion theory is also high enough. "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 New Universal's film-centered upstream, mid-stream and downstream industries!" Obviously, Before that, Anna Wintour had done her homework. Her remarks directly hit Dunn's heart.
