Hollywood Domination Chapter 106: “Prada” released


Although it was decided suddenly, there is a certain disadvantage in the release negotiation, but with Jenny's popularity, the midnight premiere of "The Devil Wears Prada" still got more than 2,000 theaters, and the first day of the film accounted for It’s not too low either. On the night of February 10th, Jon and her friends also came to the movie theater near the university early, took a seat at the end of the long queue, and prepared to buy tickets for the midnight screening of “The Devil Wears Prada” . ——Although it is a Thursday night, and tomorrow both students and white-collar workers will have to go to work and class, but the voice of "Give me two tickets to "The Devil Wears Prada"" can still be heard from time to time in the movie theater.

"I hope this is an excellent movie." Jon, Harry, and a few die-hard fans of Jennifer who live nearby are all discussing the information of "The Devil Wears Prada". Harry is typing on the keyboard of his mobile phone, feeling a little anxious complained, "So far, Rotten Tomatoes has not scored, and there are no movie reviews."

"It's not long before the premiere, right?" Jon understands, "Although the publicity is hot, the film is set in a hurry. God knows why. Wouldn't it be better to put it in the summer?— —Well, counting the time difference, the premiere may not have officially started yet, this time the film critics will be annoyed, they will lose the privilege to see the film at the same time as our audience!"

"I hope this is not Jennifer's first bad movie," said Lynn, a young white-collar worker who met with them in the online community to watch movies together. I don’t have enough confidence in it. I saw an article in the community, which said that the reason why the schedule was moved up to the present instead of setting it in the summer is because Fox wants to take advantage of Jennifer’s current high attention and popularity—you guys You know, the magazine just dug up news of her and Josh’s engagement not long ago. The film crew hoped to use this shareholder wind to call the audience into the cinema, instead of waiting until Jenny and Josh to film "Pirates of the Caribbean" and reduce the exposure in June. Show."

This statement is also reasonable, but it also shows that the film studio is not optimistic that "The Devil Wears Prada" can gain a firm foothold in the summer file-in fact, Jon is also very suspicious after reading the original novel, not because she doesn't like novels, but ...Well, if Jennifer didn't want to act, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to finish watching it. She is not interested in how a newcomer in the society is tortured by a witch head in a fashion group in the evil base camp. Yes, fashion may have its perverted side, doesn't she know that? But no matter in high school or university, the whole social atmosphere is "you are fashionable, you are cool, and you have status". If you realize the ugliness of fashion and the superficiality of chasing fashion, can it change the general environment? No, since that's the case, wouldn't reading this book make yourself unhappy?

Even if he likes Jennifer very much, almost to the point of being unprincipled, a movie is a movie. If the story of the movie itself is too boring or unpleasant, Jon will not be satisfied just watching Jennifer. She also doesn't like Jennifer's development path so much-why can't she act in more films like "The Notebook", first this "Prada" that the original work does not suit, and then announced that she will take over the original work, which is very esoteric and obscure ( At least for Jon) "The Fifth Sally", if this continues, her popularity and box office appeal may drop! What she wants to see is that Jennifer wins the Teen Choice Award and the MTV Award in a row, and every new film can overwhelm the world and capture the movie theaters. When the time comes, she will win the Oscar with a huge production like "Cold Mountain", instead of acting from now on. For some unpopular and obscure literary films, it is difficult to see her posters except in limited small cinemas.

Except for some people who like the original book and Jennifer at the same time, Jennifer's fans are a little worried about this movie. In the cold winter, Jon almost brought her parents along—after the Oprah Show and "The Notebook", her parents also became fans of Jennifer. But she has made up her mind that no matter how ugly the film is, she will show her parents to watch it again on Sunday, which can be regarded as fulfilling her feelings for Jennifer-although this statement is a bit strange.

"I got the tickets." Harry turned around and said, "We'd better go to the line early, I saw that there were already people lined up at the door..."

Just as fans began to wait in line for a good seat, film critics and people from the fashion industry from all over the country had already sat in the seats of the premiere, but the guest composition of this premiere was much different from the past The fashion industry is so crowded that there is no room for fans in the venue—Anna Wintour is wearing Prada, bringing her new assistant to the scene, and of course she is dressed in a very bohemian In addition, high-level executives from big and small brands that sponsored the filming of the film were present, and Jenny and other main creative staff couldn't help but have some enthusiastic entertainment: Compared with the low expectations of the film critics, people in the fashion industry They are very concerned about this film. After all, if it gets a good box office, then this sponsorship can be said to be a huge profit. It will also be a very successful cross-industry cooperation attempt after "Breakfast at Tiffany's". The box office is not very good, as long as Jennifer is beautiful enough in it, it can pay back-even if it is a step back, Jennifer messed up her styling in it, but this drama is about Anna Wintour *, her jokes are not so easy to watch, the movie would be good entertainment at least, wouldn't it?

More than one person took sneak peeks at Anna Wintour and Lauren Weisberg, and even the film critics couldn't help but look at her more, but their expectations for "The Devil Wears Prada" were not too high. The main reason is that there are very few successful movies of the same type on the market, and most people, like Jon, think that the quality of the original work is not high.

As a male film critic, Roger Ebert is naturally not interested in fashion. He agrees with the views in that book, but he doesn't think such common sense words are worth publishing. According to the book, even though Anna Wintour is a celebrity, she didn't attract the slightest interest from him. If it weren't for the fact that he happened to be coming to Los Angeles to recuperate, and he had an obsessive interest in Jennifer Jefferson that he didn't want to admit, he might not even attend the premiere, and would only buy his own tickets in Chicago watch.

"Should continue to adopt a new way of acting." When the scene was dark, Roger thought, "But the image of Andy in the original book is vague, how can she learn the essence from the original book?"

According to the usual practice, the producer's LOGO will be played before the title, and the order is in descending order according to the importance of the investment and production. After the 20th Century Fox's LOGO, there will be a biographical film produced within the Fox Group. Fox 2000 LOGO——Insiders can tell at a glance that the status of this film in the Fox Group is not too high, and then there is a fresh LOGO animation, in the darkness, dots of stars light up, and a hazy figure of a mother holding a baby is reflected In the starry sky, with the sound of water bubbles breaking, the illusion disappeared, and the name of the film company appeared below the starry sky: Big Dream Film Company.

Although he had a disapproving attitude towards "The Oprah Show", Roger couldn't help but think of what J.J said on the show at that time. He moved a few times in his seat uncomfortably. Focusing on the appearance and disappearance of Wendy Finnerman's production studio LOGO, "Finally, this title is a bit lengthy."

After all the LOGOs were shown, the screen went black, but soon lit up again, one hand wiped away the mist on the mirror, and a gloomy face appeared in the mirror, Jennifer Jeff Andrea, played by Sen, checked the pimples on her face in the mirror, then opened her mouth and began to brush her teeth. She was obviously worried, frowning slightly while brushing her teeth, and couldn't help but **** gently on her face The pimple, touched it, showing a painful expression.

There was a slight sound of surprise in the movie theater. Whether it was the guests at the premiere or the audience on the east coast who had already sat in the movie theater at this time, they didn't expect at all that when they debuted, they would appear as a young girl and a beautiful woman. The showy Jennifer would actually appear on the big screen in such... such a tragic way.

"It doesn't look like her at all!" Jon grabbed Harry's hand in surprise, "Is this special effects makeup? She looks—she looks—"

Yes, Jennifer doesn't look like that Jennifer at all, even though she didn't go as far as Charlize Theron did in "The Devil", but she still looks...not ugly, But it is terrifyingly ordinary.

The audience has not yet recovered from the shock, and the scene has been switched away from Andy. Along with the prelude, the director gave a panoramic view of New York, and took it to the landscape apartment next to Central Park, one after another. A fashionable lady is choosing their dresses in a high-end and luxurious living environment. Alluring items pass by the camera inadvertently, attracting the attention of most female viewers: Victoria's Secret underwear, Gucci tops, Chanel's Shoes, bags from Balenciaga, perfumes from Armani... the first-tier and second-tier brands are dazzling. Many viewers who are very interested in fashion are already so excited that they want to buy DVDs and rewind them immediately. Said, this beginning simply makes them ecstatic.

However, in the eyes of film critics, fashion brands do not have much meaning, what they see is the shooting technique and implication - when the camera is on the fashion side, soft and warm light is used, everything looks orderly, Sophisticated and expensive, and the ladies' makeup and hairstyles are impeccable, but when the camera is brought to Andy, it's using natural light, even the light source is a bit cold, and Andy is completely bare (at least according to the critics' judgment) As a result, she looks sloppy and bloated, and there are many small blemishes on her face that cannot be ignored, such as her freckles and pimples, which make Andy so rough that it is unbearable to see, but it is so real, completely close to audience's real life.

Although in all fairness, even Andy without makeup is considered a beauty. If you look closely, you can still see Jennifer's outline, but compared with those carefully groomed beauties, she can't see it. Andy in the future is indeed an ugly duckling. She has long dirty golden hair, her face looks a bit big, and she also wears a bulging coat. Her hair is tied behind her ears casually, and there is obviously a trace of concealer on her face. But even so, the acne marks were still not covered. In this way, she kissed her lover goodbye, bought breakfast in the bakery on the street, then walked to the subway, and came to the editorial office of "Flyover". The previous interlaced images are merged here, those photogenic beauties blend into the flow of people in the "Flyover" building with smiles, while Andy enters the office area of ​​the building out of place while observing the surroundings.

The pace of the movie is very fast. Although no dialogue has been formed in the past few minutes, a lot of basic information has been explained. There are no lengthy and meaningless empty shots and poor shooting techniques. The blending images hint at the tone of the whole film and the treatment Andy will face in "Flyover". Some viewers who are easy to substitute are already feeling embarrassed for Andy, but the film critics have already keenly felt that Andy's role and The difference from the original book——Andy’s expression is always slightly sad, which is very suitable for the situation in the original book that Andy faces job hunting difficulties at the beginning of the story, but different from the ignorant and young image of Andy in the original book, Jenny Andy, played by Ferr Jefferson, has always had a fierce expression on her face. Although it is very faint, she is very tense. Even when facing the bright and beautiful men and women in the "Flyover" building, she did not show panic or feel ashamed However, he observed the clothes of these passers-by thoughtfully, and checked the interview materials in his hand. Although he has not said a word until now, although he is among these pleasing fashion men and women, Andy It still naturally attracts the eyes of the audience, and through the limited appearance time in the interlaced shots, the audience has a preliminary impression of her character.

"There is no doubt that this girl used a completely different way of acting." Roger was no longer surprised, and even gave up thinking about this strange phenomenon, but it didn't mean that Jennifer didn't show him this time. Bring surprises, "However, this time is different from her previous two movie roles, how should I put it, this time she seems to let me see Roxy in "Chicago", not that there is any similarity in acting skills , but... but the degree of eye-catching is comparable, she seems to hide her explosive power all over her body, making it difficult for people to take their eyes off her."

Jon has also noticed this, although she has a feeling that she dare not look at the current J.J - it seems that if she looks at it more, the idol will be broken, but for some reason, she seems to be possessed In the same way, she focused her eyes on Andy's face and observed her every expression with ecstasy. She couldn't explain why, but... It's just that Andy is so eye-catching, she is like a dormant volcano, Although it looks gray and inconspicuous, but it contains endless power, people can't help but be attracted to her.

With a sound of 'ding', Andy came to the editorial department of "Flyover". When she stepped out of the elevator, the fashionable men and women coming and going in the elevator shaft looked over in surprise, their expressions were very elegant, Even the surprised expression has been carefully modified, with a special sense of artificiality. As Andy passed through the elevator shaft, she was constantly looked at with surprise, and the corners of her lips were slowly pursed. , then pulled the hem of the clothes, raised his head confidently, and made a look of indifference.

Although there is not a single line of dialogue in the film so far, Andy's image has already been clearly established. Many housewives who are not usually chasing fashion secretly clenched their fists excitedly and said softly Say, "Yes, yougogirl!"

"Hi, I have an appointment, and—" Andy gave the front desk lady a disapproving look, who was scrutinizing her outfit in disbelief. "Emily Charlton."

"Andrea Sykes?" With a question, Emily Charlton, who was red-haired, tall, fashionable and exaggerated, with smoky makeup, snatched away immediately. Less eyeballs. Just the way she stands and her expression has already shaped more than half of the character. Most viewers have an impression of her character at the first sight of her expression: she must be a very tricky and weird bitch-type character. The workplace is definitely the type who finds trouble for you.

"Yes?" Emily's tone was so hesitant and unbelievable, which completely annoyed Andy. She squinted her eyes, stepped forward without fear, and answered her briefly and forcefully. .

The eyes of the two women collided in the air for a moment, and the air seemed to be full of sparks. Emily was frightened by Andy's aura at first, but then she refused to give in. Instead, she deliberately intensified her breakdown and complained, " Very good, it seems that the human resources department really has a weird sense of humor - follow me."

Interesting—due to restrictions on the subject matter, most of the audience who came to watch the midnight show were women—the highly confrontational sports that men like are boxing and wrestling. , very few people are not interested in the bloodless secret battle between women and women, it is hard to say which aesthetic is more advanced, but at least the current plot progress makes the audience feel strong interest, fast-paced and meaningful shots As well as the acting skills that can show interpersonal relationships without using too many words, as well as those eye-catching, expensive, and luxurious luxuries, all made them feel excited. Although it was already midnight, they all came to the spirit , sat up straight, and even accelerated his breathing: this movie makes people feel very cool!

"Where did this school of acting come from?" Roger Ebert, Alan Morrison, Kenneth Turan and other film critics were surprised by another point - as the saying goes Well, for the uninitiated to watch the fun, the insider to watch the way, the short rivalry just now just made the audience feel refreshed and cool, but for the film critics, what they saw was the acting skills of the two young actresses.

Why do viewers find it cool? Because they felt all kinds of tension and subtext bursting out at the moment when the eyes of the two met. This easy-to-interpret body language made the audience feel that their IQ was affirmed. This sense of satisfaction made them affirm that the scene at hand was cool— - a little difficult, not everyone can understand, but I get it, the beauty is almost indescribable - cool! If the performances of the two are restrained and there are fewer people who understand them, then those who don’t understand will find these scenes inexplicable. If they are a little more out of the way, the expressions are too exaggerated, which will significantly reduce the audience’s substitution feel. Now such a proper rhythm and performance, the acting skills reflected are no longer the level that ordinary American sweetheart idol actors can achieve. It is not too strange for Jennifer to do this. After all, she is from the Tony Award, but this The little-known Emily Charlton was able to keep up with the rhythm without losing the wind, and did not make people play at all, which is quite rare.

"It doesn't look like a simple Chick-flick..." Several film critics adjusted their postures. , Meryl Streep hasn't come out yet..."

When everyone was interested, the two people in the film also walked through the long corridor of "Flyover" and headed for Meryl's office - many people in the fashion industry who have been to the US headquarters of "VOGUE" There is a knowing smile on the corners of the lips: the office design of "Flyover" is almost the same as that of "VOGUE".

"OK, so, I used to be Miranda's second assistant..." Emily introduced the details of this position to Andy as she walked. Andy glanced, "Do you know who Miranda is?"

Andy sighed irritably, "According to common sense, she is the editor-in-chief I applied for this position to serve."

"The editor-in-chief, according to common sense, that's all you know?" Emily started to walk again, "You obviously don't know the meaning of this position at all, and if you work here for another year, you will be able to Get a pass to any magazine..."

When they came to Emily's office area, Andy shrugged and said indifferently, "Okay, then I'm honored to be considered—"

Emily let out a laugh that can only be described as Bitchy, but quickly put on an amiable look and interrupted her, "Andrea, what did I say that was not clear enough just now?" Is it? This is a very important position, "Flyover" is a fashion magazine, and it is very important for us to be passionate about fashion."

She stared at Andy with 'you should know you have no fashion sense' eyes. ——Many viewers have begun to hate being aggressive at this time, and the makeup is too avant-garde, so it is not considered beautiful Emily.

A muscle in Andy's face twitched and she took a step forward, "So, you can tell from the first glance that I have no fashion taste, but what makes you not at the front desk let me go back , but bring me here and then turn me down? Miss 'Fashion', humiliating me for a while is good for you to relax physically and mentally? Is this your fashion circle's favorite game? Get together and use this smile—"

Imitating the expressions of Emily and those passers-by just now, she showed a look of contempt for Emily, "Is it your hobby to judge passers-by?"

"Sweet!" Compared with Jennifer's fanatical girl fans, there are more mother-level fans-almost all of them have been transformed into fans since "The Oprah Show", and they quickly invested in Andy. Characters, after all, for them, Andy's status is almost exactly the same as theirs. These mothers don't think Andy has anything to be ashamed of. Not everyone in this world has the money and leisure to dress up beautifully!

Seeing Emily wince because of Andy's words, they felt even more comfortable, "What a beautiful response!"

"It's still because—" Emily blinked her eyes frantically for a while, obviously thinking of counterattack words, and was about to speak, Andy rushed to say again, "You are not the one who can decide me. Is the person suitable for the position?"

Emily's nostrils fluttered a few times, she raised her head and rolled her eyes to avoid eye contact with Andy. Andy smiled triumphantly, and the camera zoomed out a bit. The two women looked at each other at the two desks outside the office door. One was leaning on the desk and the other was holding hands. The body language of both of them was very unwilling. Showing weakness, the picture presents a certain harmony in the opposition.

"This adaptation of Andy is great!" Roger really cheered up this time, and the passion that ignited every time he saw a good movie flowed through his limbs, "Interesting, more than The character in the original book is much sharper and her stand is firmer. There is no doubt that she represents anti-fashion, and her conversation also presents the original book... Well, the standard that an Ivy League student should have, she passed the HR preliminary exam for granted , isn’t it? This is much more convincing than the original.”

In order to enjoy the film better, he forced himself to flip through the original novel. There are many slots in the first ten pages alone, so Roger’s love for the film version feels a bit rebellious. I don't like the original novel, but now I am so surprised by the movie version.

In the first confrontation between the two, despite Andy's rustic appearance, he had the upper hand. Emily was obviously still thinking about ways to make a comeback, but the sudden ringing of her mobile phone disrupted her pace. What follows is a scene of turmoil, in which Nigel also made his first appearance. The chaos in the editorial department is also a montage of crossing with Miranda who stepped out of the car. Her gait and outstanding clothes, her striking white hair style, and her influence on the staff of "Flyover" have created an extraordinary momentum, and of course her harsh and picky personality has also followed the reaction of everyone. , leaving a deep mark in the hearts of the audience. ——This is also a copy of the original book. In the original book, Miranda doesn't like her employees sharing an elevator, and she herself never allows others to share an elevator with her.

After a ding, Meryl's first frontal close-up appeared in everyone's eyes. She took off her sunglasses, looked around the elevator room in a very queenly way, and then walked out gracefully. Just this appearance, It made many film critics applaud: Obviously, this will be another big breakthrough for Meryl. There is really no similar precedent for this role in her many previous films.

"I'm interested in your incompetence..." After a scene between Miranda and Emily, Queen Bee walked into her office, and she glanced outside the door, "Who is she?"

Emily said in a flustered manner, "Nobody - Human Resources sent her to interview your second assistant, and I was just pre-interviewing her - for you - but this girl is totally hopeless, not at all. It fits here—"

"Well, obviously I should choose by myself, since the two girls you picked don't meet the requirements at all." Miranda glanced at Emily, which made the little boss who was very strong before show a panic. Emoticon, "Let her in——That'sall."

Although the audience hated Emily just now, they still smiled when they saw that she was mistreated by Miranda's stormy orders, and now she was underestimated by the boss for her incompetence. I have some sympathy. Emily told Andy viciously, 'She let you in - Move! ’ The voice didn’t sound so annoying anymore.

Andy wrestled Emily a little before entering the office. Neither deserved to be seen by Miranda. This scene completely adjusted the atmosphere of the theater. Although it took a short time, many audience members laughed and loosened the tight strings for a while, but as Andy stood in front of Miranda with a face of indifference , Their hearts were lifted again—obviously, Andy didn't want this job anymore, and she and Miranda would definitely have conflicts, and judging from the current aura and social status comparison, Andy probably would Be the one to lose.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Andrea Sykes, and I'm here to apply for your assistant."

"Huh."

"If you could deign to look at your resume, you'll see that I graduated from Northwestern University, I got an offer from Stanford Law School, but I would rather be a reporter. Obviously, the "Flyover" personnel department thinks that I CV is good enough to make phone calls and pour coffee for you."

A few short lines of dialogue, combined with the expressions and movements of the characters, vividly show Miranda's changes in Andrea's perception. At first, she was interested in watching a clown, and then she lost interest and looked down at the newspaper. I was also aroused by Andy's tough attitude, and Andy's emotions were gradually accumulating impatience and unhappiness, which made people feel like a volcano was about to erupt. Although the lighting and mirroring were very stable, but The tension between the characters is already so strong that people can't breathe.

"But you've never seen Runover?" Miranda said, her tone even. "And you have no taste in fashion."

"Yes." Andy changed his posture, "If you think that you can't be your assistant because you are not a reader of "Flyover", then I suggest you ask the human resources department to add this to the interview question 101, so that We can also not have to waste each other's time."

What an arrogant interviewer! The balance in the audience's mind swings back and forth between Andy and Miranda, and many people have come to support Miranda by now-after all, this is a job interview, and it is rude to be too aggressive with the boss. After all, Andy has just graduated, so he is still a bit too young and rough, giving people the feeling that he is a little bit overwhelmed.

She managed to attract Miranda's attention, she touched her chin with her finger, "Which magazine is this you interviewed for?"

"The first one." Andy clenched the handle of the bag defensively, and added, "This is only the... tenth resume I submitted."

"Keep this attitude," Miranda said calmly, "you'll find magazines that want you."

She motioned Andy absently to leave the office with a wave gesture.

Andy took a deep breath, turned around and walked a few steps. Although the camera had captured Emily with a proud and **** smile at this time, the audience found that Andy's tight shoulders were more worthy of their attention—— For some reason, Jennifer, who looks so mediocre, is more eye-catching than she is in any movie. Her every action seems to have a great influence on the scene, making people unable to look away.

"Did you know?" After walking a few steps, Andy's shoulders suddenly loosened. The shape is mediocre, but this smile makes everyone realize that she is actually very beautiful. "You're right, I'm not the man for the job, but what do you know, Miranda? I'm the editor in chief of the Northwest Journal, I've won a national competition for college journalists, I've written in The New Yorker, I have My worth, I'm smart, hard working, my degree and my CV speaks for my abilities, and your precious magazine - maybe it's not that perfect either, it's clear that you and your HR are seriously lacking in communication, otherwise We're not here to get on each other's nerves - you know what? It's not for me either, I'm here to be a good reporter, I'll answer the phone, help the editor run the magazine, learn the craft of journalism , to observe the mode of operation of the magazine, instead of accepting that you and your editor-"

She said it quickly, and then once again imitated Miranda's expression so vividly, it provoked laughter in the movie theater, "--interpretation and criticism of my personal taste, so, I wish Good luck to you, I think you will be able to find a second assistant with impeccable fashion taste and full A scholarship—"

While she was speaking, Nigel passed by, saying, "Found these looks—"

But Andy continued unaffected, louder than Nigel, "—as long as she can stand your temper, your first assistant's temper, and that horrible low Salary."

Turning around, her head held high, she gives a victorious look at a stunned, hell-like Emily, and strides out of the camera.

The camera turned to Miranda, Nigel was still talking about something, but Miranda just didn't hear it, she looked at Andy's back thoughtfully, and it took a while to come back to her senses Nigel's report. ——Obviously, Andy's strength left a deep impression on her, and she began to feel that this girl was a bit special.

Sure enough, when Andy relaxed his shoulders and returned the access card to the door a little lonely, Emily stopped her, "Andrea."

She raised **** painted with black nail polish in a stylish way, hooked Andy, rolled her eyes again, made a helpless expression, turned and walked out of the camera, Andy also raised her eyebrows. Raising his eyebrows, showing a surprised expression, he followed Emily and walked over hesitantly...

Among the brisk music, Andy and her friends started their own dinner party. Everyone congratulated her on finding a new job, and Andy explained that the reason why she accepted this job was because of the great name of "Flyover", "Emily - the first assistant explained the status of "Flyover" to me. If I can get this letter of recommendation, I can enter "The New Yorker."

"But I thought she didn't like you," said her boyfriend, Nate.

"She doesn't like me, but she's more afraid to explain to Miranda that she didn't stop me." Andy shook his head, "That woman is like Cruella from "101 Dogs."

Several friends who just entered the society laughed, and they were all engaged in jobs they didn't like. After complaining to each other for a while, Andy and her boyfriend Nate held hands and walked home sweetly. Andy also showed a cute smile on his face, instead of being so tense and guarded.

"Baby, you should really see what those runway girls are wearing." She grumbled, shaking Nate's hand, "And what kind of eyes are they looking at me, Sure, if possible, No one wants to dress better, but not everyone can—"

Andy shrugged his shoulders, made a grimace in a rough voice, and continued to say disapprovingly, "Can afford Gucci, Prada, CK——"

Nate laughed, "Well, do you know what boys think when you girls say these famous brands?"

"What?" Although she still has no makeup and looks rough, Andy's sweet expression makes the audience feel that she is actually beautiful.

"Boys are thinking, it's not all the same when you take your clothes off." Nate pointed Andy's nose, "Come home, I know there's something we can do without any clothes—"

"You are too vulgar, Nate." Amid Andy's laughing protest, a young couple ran away. There were also bursts of laughter regardless of gender in the theater: Although Nate's words are indeed a bit vulgar, it cannot be denied that most men probably really think this way. They really don't know the difference between Prada and Forever21. will understand.

Although it has only been 10 minutes since the movie progressed, the audience has already understood that this movie is a great adaptation of the original work—and it is full of contradictions and very exciting. The battle between Andy and Emily, The conflict between Andy and Miranda, and even how Andy integrates into fashion, are all their concerns. Of course, there are also the beautiful costumes and accessories that are valued by the female audience who account for the vast majority of moviegoers——Ai Millie, Miranda, and even the outfits the girls in the opening credits are wearing just drive them crazy and they want to see more.

And when the audience began to look forward to the following, the film critics had already seen the core issues discussed in this film. In their opinion, this ten minutes with a lot of information not only gave a preliminary account of the protagonist's character, background and The main line of the story, but also pointed out the theme of this movie: to explore the relationship between women and fashion.

Miranda is the master of fashion, Emily is a crazy fan of fashion, they belong to the camp that cherishes and worships fashion, her boyfriend Nate is a fashion insulator, as a man, he doesn't value fashion at all, and thinks it's just a woman's madness , This is also a very typical mentality.

And Andy? She is the psychology of the general public. She doesn’t really dislike fashion. The conversation between her and her boyfriend has already shown this point. She just has no money. Fashion is unattainable for her, so she despises it in a vengeful way. At the same time, Andy has strong self-confidence. She doesn't think she is not beautiful or fashionable. Jennifer's interpretation of this complicated state of mind has made people look forward to the collision between her and fashion in the future.

"Of course, there are three actress performances..." Alan Morrison has been completely conquered by the rival scene just now, "Witnessing the birth of the classic with my own eyes is really exciting. The quality of "The Devil Wears Prada" will become the insurmountable peak of female films, and it will expand this genre to a depth that no one has ever touched, directly hitting the core."

"This is a murderous movie." Roger's attitude towards fashion is similar to that of Nate, so he is not as excited as Alan, but he also has a very high evaluation of this part. "The rare fast-paced, high-speed dialogue successfully created an elite and cool atmosphere, which is rarely achieved in previous female films. "Legally Blonde" won a high box office by making the profession superficial. In fact, it is a contempt for female audiences, but I am afraid that this film is too overestimating the female audience, can it... can get a high box office? This film will not become J.J's Waterloo?"

The author has something to say: update

Just to clarify, I actually have no opinion on the original "Prada".
