Chapter 323 Sparks
“Times are changing.
Indeed, people still like handsome men and beautiful women, and Hollywood is a star-making factory that allows people to appreciate beautiful things; but over time, Aesthetic fatigue begins to set in, and people begin to form stereotypes, and at the same time they begin to expect to see more.
Once, Marlon-Brando, Montgomery-Clift, and James. -James-Stewart These handsome guys can easily be sought after, and their talents and abilities can also be recognized.
Now, handsome appearance is becoming a shackle and burden for actors, and they are preconceived and stereotyped. The impression makes people picky about these handsome men and beautiful actresses, and judge them in a stricter and more demanding manner
Indeed, just from the appearance, like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, people can't help but wonder, with an appearance like Anson's What does it feel like to live a healthy life?
However, they are also facing their own issues.
Anson is thinking and exploring, and has his own ideas and concepts.
This is a start.
What’s even more valuable is that Anson is only eighteen years old. ”
Stopped abruptly.
Nicholas’s interview came to an abrupt end in such a way. It was not because he had no ideas or didn’t know how to end it. In fact, Nicholas’s inspiration was still endless, but after careful consideration, he believed that there was a blank space That's the best way to end this interview.
August 8, Wednesday.
The New York Times published this exclusive interview, which was rarely paired with two photos.
As a professional and serious newspaper, the "New York Times" still adheres to some old rules and refuses to evolve the newspaper into a dazzling and colorful look. Even the photos selected must have impact and do not rely on quantity. Winning, that’s why this interview is so special.
Early in the morning, Anna Wintour saw the magazines piled neatly on the table, but she was really not interested today. The topics of the magazines in the recent period were all the same and lackluster -
She didn't like the summer issue.
Because at this time of year, fashion magazines more or less need to compromise with Hollywood and allow some actors or directors to promote in magazines.
Publicity is not the problem; the topic selection is the same with no new ideas.
The summer sci-fi blockbusters are all killing the creativity of fashion magazines in choosing topics, including "Fashion". Although as an industry leader, Anna Wintour has the power to make the decision, they can be more arbitrary , but after all, there is a bottom line, and we cannot offend all movie companies and top stars.
--boring. tedious. pale. Cliché.
Anna just glanced at the cover casually, and her remaining interest was completely extinguished. They were all garbage.
I opened the "New York Times" slightly bored. This newspaper is not for fashion, but to keep myself sharp in the industry and current affairs to ensure that I will not be out of touch, but it can also be regarded as part of the job.
Then Anna saw the interview.
My eyes lit up.
The topic selection is not new, but the perspective and development method are very fresh. Anna actually read the entire interview with gusto.
"Anson Wood..."
As Anna chewed carefully, she remembered a little thing. Her daughter talked about the movie "Princess Diaries" two days ago and said If they are interested, they can go to the cinema to watch this work. However, this is just a small thing and not the main point. The main point is Anson.
The premiere of "Princess Diaries" was the first time Anna was really interested in Anson. As the devil of fashion, she immediately smelled the opportunity; but Anna is busy these days and is about to arrive. Fashion Week matters, this matter will not be put on the agenda for the time being.
However, it seems now...
The "New York Times" unearthed a possibility and pointed out a direction. It is naturally impossible for "Fashion" magazines to follow the trend, 100% impossible; but Anna was inspired. Maybe Anson can indeed become a new trend vane.
David Beckham? Anna: Haha.
It’s not that Anna doesn’t like David, in fact, she also agrees with David’s handsomeness and charm; but one thing is that David’s fashion taste is a mess, just random, really The hero behind the scenes is Victoria Beckham. People always say that David made Victoria a success. The truth should be changed. Victoria made David a success.
David is just a model. Without Victoria, he is nothing. If you risk digging deeper, the truth will soon be revealed.
However, they can't ask for too much, after all, David is just a football player, right?
With Anson in front of her, Anna thought that things were starting to get interesting, especially this report from the New York Times, which made her smell an opportunity.
Ordinary people read news and read literal information; real experts read news and read extra-literal information.
Anna noticed a detail:
Real, in-depth and detailed personal preferences.
Hollywood has always believed in mysticism, because the film industry is the art of dreaming, and the ultimate goal of all practitioners is to make movies an art presented on the big screen, so that the general public can admire actors and directors. psychology, the existence of mysticism becomes very necessary.
Once the aura of mystery disappears, audiences tend to become disillusioned, and the movie business may face a wall.
However.
This situation gradually changed after entering the 1990s.
Whether it is the popularity of the Backstreet Boys, the success of Britney Spears, or the overall rise of punk represented by garage bands, they are all witnessing an important change in the times. ——
The market needs more down-to-earth and accessible things in life.
From another perspective, mysticism is losing its charm.
Of course, for now, it mainly happens in the music market; and even in the music market, this concept of "neighbor" is just a label, a persona, and an image, and it is not a real It can only be regarded as a new business image to make the artist's career life-oriented.
This is even more true in the movie market.
As a fashion pioneer, Anna has a keen sense of the market.
From this "New York Times" report, Anna realized one thing. Perhaps, in the next ten years, "truth" will be the label that fits the market.
Facts, indeed.
Before Justin Bieber became the first to become a top star through the online video website platform in 2008, the rise of talent shows such as "American Idol" in 2001, "American Idol" in 2006 and " "Hannah Montana", a drama series that describes the world's biggest stars as classmates, became a hit.
Now, taking the lead, Anna accurately grasps the context of the times.
Thoughts surge.
Thinking of this, Anna answered the internal line and said, "Contact Anson's agent or publicist for me. Immediately."
Then, after hanging up the phone, the "Vogue" magazine headquarters in New York suddenly became busy.
Perhaps, an exclusive interview - even an interview with the "New York Times" is just a spark, but this spark will unfold in the blink of an eye.
With the power of starting a prairie fire.
