"Something went wrong with the company's financing channels."

In a French restaurant in Burbank, Carla Faith sat across from Murphy and Gal Gadot and talked about the new project. "Limited by the subject matter, 20th Century Fox and Weinstein Pictures The investment in production will not exceed $80 million."

Although this is a collaborative project between the two companies, because of Quentin Tarantino's accident, Twentieth Century Fox undoubtedly dominates.

"Ok……"

Murphy just nodded and didn't say much. This can be regarded as a temporary project. He is still sorting out his ideas to complete the most basic script of the project. The specific amount of investment has to wait for the script and project plan to be completed. Only then can there be a whole concept.

"Quentin's style..." Carla Faith seemed a little worried. "In the past, his work was obvious. The style was sometimes too absurd and biased towards B-level films. This style would win the hearts of some fans, but would drive them away. More fans."

"Don't worry." Murphy smiled, "Quentin promised me, and our agreement is very clear. Quentin is a screenwriter who provides an outline and main story line. No other aspects will participate. This is me. I lead the project, my style is very similar to Quentin, but there are also big differences."

In addition to playing presumptuously on "Planet of Horror", although his film is also a typical noir style, it is different from Quentin's absurdity and is more serious.

Of course, you can't expect that a movie that Hitler killed directly is too realistic. There will inevitably be some absurd elements in it, but these elements must be properly controlled and cannot be unrestrained.

And the more serious the content and theme of the film itself, the stronger the contrast of black humor.

Since Quentin has resisted this burden, Murphy will naturally not follow Quentin’s path exactly, especially the large digressions that non-Quentin film lovers can’t bear. He will add them when finishing the script. limit.

In any case, it is necessary for this film to make some appropriate changes and adjustments according to his wishes.

Talking about some things about this unnamed project, Carla Firth and Gal Gadot turned to discuss the topic of fashion. They talked from clothes and accessories to this year’s Paris Fashion Week, and from fashion Zhou talked about some celebrities in the fashion industry.

Women always have endless conversations about fashion. Gal Gadot has experienced professional training as a model. Strictly speaking, he was once a member of the fashion circle. As for Carla Faith, look at her exquisite makeup and meticulousness every day. With matching clothes, you know her fashion sensitivity.

Murphy became a listener completely.

Fortunately, the topic of Carla Faith and Gal Gadot turned around, and finally returned to the movie, but it was still related to fashion.

"Gail, have you read that book and script?" Carla Faith asked suddenly, "How about it, are you interested?"

"I think..." Gal Gadot frowned slightly. "The heroine seems to have some problems with her thinking. Her knowledge of fashion and the world is very strange. I don't think I can play such a role."

She turned her head and glanced at Murphy, "I still have to learn how to be a qualified producer."

Carla Faith sighed softly, "The heroine does have some problems, but this character..."

Having said that, she shook her head again, "You should continue to be a producer, and I will find someone else."

"What are you talking about?" Murphy looked at Gal Gadot and then at Carla Faith. "Why don't I understand?"

"A movie," Gal Gadot replied concisely, "There is another character."

"Because of my competition with Dave Scola, an adaptation project has been in my hands for two years." Carla Faith said in detail, "I wanted to invite Gail to play the leading role, but it's fine. , The heroine's thinking is peculiar, and it is not suitable for Gale."

"Yeah." Murphy nodded.

Gail Gadot, who was next to him, said again, “It is a project called "The Devil Wearing Prada" novel adaptation project, which is said to be adapted from the experience of Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of "Vogue" magazine."

After what she said, Murphy remembered that she did not seem to have heard the news about the release of "The Devil Wearing Prada". Combined with Carla Faith's words, this film is undoubtedly held by Twentieth Century Fox. Carla Faith, who was the master of production, was in his hands.

This can be regarded as an indirect change brought about by him.

Seeing Murphy's expression a bit strange, Gal Gadot asked, "Have you read that novel?"

"I've seen it a bit." In fact, Murphy knew that Gal Gadot's current interest is not in actors at all. He didn't say that she would appear in this film. Instead, he asked, "Why do you say that the heroine is a little weird?"

He vaguely remembered that the former heroine Anne Hathaway had a very low sense of being robbed by Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt, and he did not remember her strange performance.

"I don't agree with the interpretation of Anna Wintour or Miranda in the original book."

As a former member of the fashion circle, Gal Gadot said without hesitation, “Fashion survives by being picky, but you can’t regard being picky as the original sin of fashion. The successful people in the fashion industry I know, those designers Magazine editors are very picky about details, sometimes to the point of being unbearable, but this is a professional requirement, and their profession requires them to do so."

Perhaps he used to be one of them. Gal Gadot obviously has a different understanding of the film in Murphy's memory. "Fashion is a very delicate and sensitive business, and it is inseparable from the refinement of details. In other words, What we often say-details determine success or failure!"

Cara Fess on the other side also agreed with Gal Gadot and said, “What Gale said is the survival rule of fashion. Those fashion practitioners often bring this cutting-edge pursuit of business into their daily lives. He became a demon in the eyes of his subordinates."

Hearing this is completely different from the theme of the previous film, Murphy doesn't know what to say. His knowledge of fashion is too limited. He can only say that his standpoint is different and his perspective on things is different.

Gal Gadot laughed. She knew Murphy didn't understand this and didn't say anything.

But Kara Feith said, "Let me spread the basic knowledge for you. Have you read that novel?"

Murphy nodded because he had just said what he had read.

Seeing Murphy nodding, Carla Faith said again, “In the novel, when the heroine Andy’s colleague took out two belts and they said they were very different, Andy smiled. She felt that the two belts were no different. ."

"This is a typical layman! Although the two belts are the same in color, their belt heads are different. They have different matching feelings, and matching the same clothes will have different effects. To distinguish these differences, find out The best match, this is the subtlety of fashion details. Designers care about these details, although in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference at all, but in the eyes of designers, they are completely different. This is the difference between professional and non-specialist perspectives."

Carla Faith took a sip from the glass, and Gal Gadot thought about it, and joined him.

"For example, if you picked that blue striped sweater, you thought you chose this dress carefully according to your meaning..." She said of a dialogue in the novel, "And this sky blue , Has produced millions of dollars in profits and countless job opportunities, as well as incalculable hard work..."

Gal Gadot said seriously, "I think this passage is a good portrayal of the fashion industry."

Hearing this, Carla Faith nodded in agreement, "Every industry has its own characteristics."

"How does fashion affect the world? How does fashion spread from its cutting-edge high fashion to everyone? How does the fashion world affect the lives of ordinary people?"

In the face of Gal Gadot's extremely serious and beautiful face, Murphy had no choice but to open his hands. In this regard, he is a real layman.

"Every quarter, designers will discover some new ideas, new ideas, new colors, these things are extracted from a lot of inspiration and information, such as the sky blue just mentioned, is from the color card Among nearly a hundred kinds of blue, selected from dozens of similar colors."

Since he has been in this business, Gal Gadot obviously has some understanding, “Then the designer makes clothes and promotes this color; if it is noticed by other designers, it will achieve a cutting-edge small-scale fashion; Media magazines will judge things that might be popular among the works of countless conferences each season, then this blue will be noticed by them."

Since the beginning, she also said in detail, "The media will convey this blue message to the public, and these messages will spread quickly, and the major stores will follow up quickly. This has become a popular trend. If this Blue has been recognized by the public, which means that it has generated tens of millions of dollars or even more profits and countless job opportunities. Then among the popular things of the season, some will continue to deepen. This blue Colors will develop in depth after they become popular in fashion."

Murphy nodded slightly, still not quite clear.

Gal Gadot rolled his eyes and said, "So, no one should think that he has nothing to do with fashion. Every choice he makes is a product of fashion; and all his choices are actually The choice is based on the choices provided by others. Often, the choice of a designer or the editor-in-chief of a magazine determines what kind of clothing ordinary people can wear."

"It's really complicated," Murphy muttered.

"Of course! Do you think dressing is simple?"

Faced with the problem of Carla Faith, Murphy could only shake his head. His dressing style strives to be concise, but for women, this is definitely not the case.
