The significance of the star wars series to the United States is indeed different. After "star wars: episode iii – revenge of the sith" held its global premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, it was released in over 110 countries and regions.
It opened in 3,661 theaters in North America, with a Thursday box office of 50 million US dollars;
Friday: 33.5 million US dollars;
Saturday: 40.7 million US dollars;
Sunday: 34.2 million US dollars;
The total box office for the first four days in North America was 158.4 million US dollars.
Fortunately, the reputation of the star wars prequel trilogy was not very good, and George Lucas also said that he would no longer direct the star wars series himself.
In Manhattan, near Times Square, at "the devil wears prada" set in the Condé Nast Building, Charles Capet was in his office chatting about the movie with director David Frankel.
"Various brands under LV provided us with many costume requirements. I invited Patricia Field, who collaborated with me on'Sex and the City,' to be responsible for the film's costume design. She said that this time, the costume selection was truly a happy problem!" Although David Frankel also wanted to film in important locations such as the Museum of Modern Art and Bryant Park in New York, the 35 million US dollar budget would not be enough.
"This is a female urban movie, and fashion is an important way of expressing the film. Costumes are indeed one of the key points of expression," Charles Capet said. Many outsiders are not optimistic about this movie now, but Charles Capet himself is certainly optimistic.
"Miranda is an independent feminist, and Andy is a developing Lady. Our theme focuses on women's workplace and personal ideals, which is to use the industry characteristics of fashion to concretely externalize the psychological changes and image positioning of the characters!"
David Frankel also used a comedic shell to show the predicament of women in a traditional patriarchal society, which is an expression of female consciousness.
This type of film, with women as the absolute primary protagonists and men as "foils," focusing on the love and growth of girls, is called a chick flick in Hollywood.
Charles Capet stood up and smiled, "The film's current shooting is very good, and female films do not necessarily have no future."
"I'm going back to Los Angeles in the next two days. If anything comes up, the producer can handle it. Also, the mansion you wanted that fits Miranda, we've already finalized the filming agreement for one in the Upper East Side!"
After leaving the director's office, Charles Capet went to Anne Hathaway's lounge. Because of this movie, Charles Capet directly named Anne Hathaway, which eliminated many unnecessary auditions.
And Anne Hathaway really liked this movie; she could finally stop just making princess movies that appeal to teenagers.
"How is it? You can learn a lot by acting with Meryl, right?" Charles Capet smiled.
Anne Hathaway nodded, "In terms of eyes, movements, and expressions, Meryl, she is really amazing! Even the screenwriter deliberately cut many of her lines, believing she didn't need so many lines."
"At first glance at the script, I, the screenwriter, and the participating producers, all decided on Meryl Streep for Miranda's role!" Charles Capet explained, after all, Meryl Streep's performance in this movie was truly stunning.
Anne Hathaway leaned close to Charles Capet, put her arms around his neck, and whispered, "Are you coming to my room tonight? I've prepared your favorite whiskey and ice!"
"Uh, that's impressive," Charles Capet smiled and kissed the Lady's lips.
"Don't worry, I'll go tonight. I'm going back to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow!"
After leaving Anne Hathaway's lounge, Charles Capet was about to leave the set when Phyllis Jones found him.
"Boss, for 'the pursuit of happyness,' Will Smith invited Italian director Gabriele Muccino to direct the film;"
"Because he highly appreciates Gabriele Muccino's previous films, 'The Last Kiss' and 'Remember Me, My Love.'"
Charles Capet nodded and then asked, "The director is confirmed, what about the other actors? When can the movie start shooting?"
"Other actors are still being selected, and the movie is expected to start shooting in San Francisco in October," Phyllis Jones quickly explained.
"Hmm," Charles Capet walked, and suddenly two beautiful women walked towards him.
"Mr. Capet, good afternoon!"
"Good afternoon," Charles Capet also nodded, then looked at the tall beauty and praised, "As expected of a Victoria's Secret Supermodel, truly different!"
That's right, this was Adriana Lima, the Victoria's Secret Supermodel who came to make a cameo in the movie. What Charles Capet remembered most about her was her dancing with Michael Jackson at Michael Jackson's concert.
Adriana Lima said happily, "I'm already very happy to be involved in the movie, Mr. Capet. If you have the chance, you can also enjoy the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at the end of the year!"
Charles Capet nodded. Brazilian supermodels are truly numerous and sexy, full of passion and wildness.
"Emily Blunt, your performance is really good," Charles Capet then said to the shorter Lady next to her, who was Emily Blunt, playing the assistant to the wicked female supporting character in the movie.
"Ah, thank you. I auditioned nine times to get this role and did a lot of preparation!" Emily Blunt is British and had only appeared in a few TV shows and films in the UK before. "the devil wears prada" is her first Hollywood work.
Charles Capet looked at Emily Blunt a few more times, feeling she looked familiar but couldn't place her. However, her acting was indeed good, and she was pretty.
After Charles Capet and the two left, Adriana Lima grabbed Emily Blunt's arm and said excitedly, "Did you hear that? Charles Capet said you acted very well. He must have remembered you!"
Emily Blunt said somewhat bewildered, "Probably not. I'm just a small actress. No one knew me when I first came to Hollywood, and many supporting role auditions ended in failure."
"But Charles Capet looked at you a few more times just now!"
Although Adriana Lima is a Victoria's Secret Supermodel now, modeling is a youth-dependent career. The best transition is to enter the entertainment industry as a pretty face to maintain popularity.
The darkness of the modeling world is like Hollywood; young and beautiful models appear one after another, and famous models always have to face getting old and losing their youth.
Emily Blunt gazed in the direction Charles Capet's group had left, sighing in her heart, wondering if she had left any impression on him.
If Charles Capet remembered her, Emily Blunt's career prospects would definitely be different.
"Let's go, it's time to start working!" Emily Blunt nudged Adriana Lima. The two had a few seconds of screen time together in the movie.
After all, Adriana Lima only made an appearance in the movie with a few simple lines.
