Hollywood Domination Chapter 108: Wonderful

To the audience's relief, it turned out that the previous camera had a foreshadowing of this scene. Andy passed a bus painted with the promotion of the new book of "Harry Potter" when he was going to work in the morning. After a montage rewinding in his head, Andy was already on the phone with the rich and handsome Christian he met at work. Christian also showed a strong interest in Andy, and the audience could see what he was thinking: If Andy hadn't had a boyfriend, it is estimated that Christian, a playboy, would have done it long ago.

At this time, the psychology of the audience was obviously divided. Some viewers at the small-town mother level still hoped that Andy and Nate could get along well, which was also in line with their values, but for the younger generation In other words, they have long been fed up with Nate's sloppiness and childishness, as well as his lack of support for Andy's work, and feel that Nate has been holding Andy back. Although there may not be results with Christian, it may just be The sexpartner relationship is what you like, but young people are open-minded. They think it is normal, and they even think that Andy should not settle down so early, and should devote himself to his career and work hard for a while. Sometimes he is as handsome and mature as Christian, It's also great for capable men to hang out with each other. In particular, Nate has been interfering with Andy's work and causing her troubles, but Christian has been helping, and even actually got her the unpublished manuscript of "Harry Potter", which also made many viewers wonder He is more favorable.

When Andy walked into Miranda's office with a triumphant smile, the storm just now seemed to have passed. Miranda calmly lowered her head and circled the sample magazine, "What is this?"

"The original Harry Potter manuscript." Andy said quickly and professionally, "I've already made two copies, bound them and sent them to the girls. This one is just for backup—what else? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Miranda looked up at Andy in surprise, the eyes of the two women collided with sparks in mid-air, the atmosphere was so deadlocked that it was breathless, but after a while, Miranda lowered her head first and ended the conversation TV, "Good, That's all."

She turned around the chair pretending nothing happened, but when Andy left, she turned around and looked at her back complicatedly, and grabbed the Starbucks that Andy brought back for her.

Easy laughter rang out in the theater: Obviously, Miranda had to admit Andy's ability and potential. If she has proved herself and proved herself, then she should give Andy more chances—however, this may also mean that the relationship between Andy and Nate will inevitably drift away.

Sure enough, right after that, there was a series of unhappiness between Andy and Nate. Andy missed a friend's engagement party, missed her and Nate's anniversary, and she squeezed out little by little. After marrying Emily, she became Miranda's darling, and opened up her own social circle in the office. Even Emily had to accept her favors. However, every success and progress in her career was rewarded. Accompanied by a miss of her original life, the grievances of her friends became more and more obvious. Andy showed off her success in both family and work in front of Emily, but deep down in her heart, her sense of panic also Growing stronger, she finds herself losing her private life, and she finds that she is slowly becoming another Miranda.

With the film's continuous hints and foreshadowing, although the audience is one step behind the film critics, they also slowly understand the director's intentions. In their hearts, the level seems to be elevated: Compared with those dull literary films, "Prada" has more refreshing viewing enjoyment, and compared with those popcorn commercial films, "Prada" presents the This kind of connotation that seems to contain philosophy, although the audience can't figure out what it is talking about for a while, but it is this feeling of ignorance that makes their evaluation of this movie higher and higher. Simple and simple, can be vulgar and elegant, this is the quality that only a classic movie can have.

Because of this, although the movie later gave some clips of Andy walking alone and empty scenes, the audience did not feel bored. , summing up Andy's gains and losses, and re-examining work and life, "Flyover" and Miranda, they no longer doubt the meaning of fashion, but not every strong woman in career must embark on this lonely road. Where is the road? Does working for the best magazine in the world mean giving up your personal life entirely? Is it really worth it to pay so much for work? Is it really impossible to balance work and family? Couldn't Andy find a way to get the best of both worlds? Whether resigning or breaking up with Nate seems to be a very sad choice.

But at this moment, the working atmosphere of "Flyover" changed again. Andy went from being not good at it at the beginning to being handy later, and now she has started a new round of incompatibility: not only did she find that Nai Jill and others are not well paid, have no family life, and seem to be exploited. They also find that Miranda is extremely ruthless towards her out-of-favor assistant Emily, even when she hears that Emily is trying to get her a Hermès scarf. And when there is a car accident, the first concern is, "So, did she stain those silk scarves?"

Although Andy understands that these scarves are important for the double-page shooting of "Flyover", and her relationship with Emily is not friendly, she is also very happy to squeeze Emily to Paris-this means Another brilliant experience on the resume, but Andy is not a complete Miranda. When Miranda asked her to tell Emily the news last night, Andy still couldn't do it, and she even flinched , asked Miranda cautiously, "But that's Emily's dream all along..."

Of course, her objections were weak at the time, but after learning about Emily's car accident, Andy really started to get upset, "Do you have to let me say it again? I mean, she just had a car accident , I couldn't go to Paris..."

"I think it is very important for "Flyover" to establish a correct concept of survival of the fittest." Miranda was still very indifferent, "If you can't do this, I will think you lack the courage to deal with conflicts head-on, and all this It will be faithfully reflected in your recommendation letter.”

This time, it was Miranda who took Andy by the throat: Miranda was not wrong, just professional. If Andy is unwilling to go, it means that this time Andy is not professional enough.

Andy finally went, and the audience sympathized with Emily for the first time-although she was bad, she was cute, vivid, and hard to hate, even in a certain way. From a perspective, I can also understand some of her behaviors. After all, not every side of everyone is so noble, and Emily also represents a side of people's hearts.

Seeing Emily venting her dissatisfaction with Andy and complaining about her bad luck in a breakdown on the hospital bed, the audience chuckled and involuntarily turned their attention to Andy. Although this is Emily's highlight moment, Andy's ever-changing expression always reminds them that she has a mission on her body, and Andy must make a choice between Emily's feelings and Miranda's orders. The sharp temperament that has been lurking on Andy since the beginning of the film is more eye-catching and tense at this moment. When the camera comes to Emily, although she complains endlessly, she is still covered by the sun, looking full of vitality and vigor Flourishing, but when the camera is doing a close-up of Andy, because it is facing away from the window, the fluorescent lights of the hospital are projected on Andy's face, making her look dull and tired. The two pictures form a sharp contrast. The brisk mood of the audience watching Emily's joyful performance also slowly fell silent.

"Very well, this is Andy's choice. It seems that she is going to complete her transformation." Alan Morrison is very satisfied with the rhythm of the whole film, "This is actually a very complicated story, but everyone David's speech is easy to understand and thought-provoking, and Andy has finally come into contact with the cruelest side of society. How will she choose? What will David choose? The ideal way is of course to deny Miranda, so as to please more people, But if I do, then I will be very disappointed..."

"That's right, you can't go to Paris." In the end, Andy still made up his mind, but she didn't imitate Miranda like she did in the workplace, but spoke in the normal tone of getting along with friends, "Ai Millie, I was sent to tell you this."

"It seems that you still need to say it." Emily angrily tore open the pudding sent by the hospital, and ate it in big mouthfuls. Just like when she had a cold, this eating scene was also performed by Emily. Hilariously, "Miranda's not going to take me to Paris—you know what's the thing that **** me off the most about this whole thing? Those clothes you're going to get—those evening dresses! For God's sake For your sake, you say you're losing weight, but you're still eating cake! Oh, this is crazy!"

"Emily," Andy called to her, "listen to me—I got the news last night... Miranda decided to take me to Paris instead of you, and she wanted me to call Call you and tell you about it."

Emily opened her mouth, and a piece of unchewed bread fell out. In the atmosphere of joy and tension, she and Andy looked at each other for a moment, then picked up the bread and stuffed it back into her mouth, "Oh , oh I see, so you can't wait to come to me to show off can't you, look at poor Emily, broke her leg running for Miranda, God! I should have known that those reporters' things were bullshit, just to lower My defense, admit it, from the day you put on Jimmy Choo—"

"Emily," Andy said louder, "I don't want to, or I would have called you last night—she was urging me, urging me after she knew you were in a car accident, you know? She never asked about your injury, she was only worried about her silk scarf from beginning to end."

The two looked at each other again for a moment, Emily's expression was extremely complicated, but at this moment, the audience could feel her mixed emotions, and they were completely immersed in Emily Blunt's acting skills In the film, although the acting skills of Meryl and Jennifer are impressive, Emily also left an impression in the hearts of all audiences and film critics: "This girl has a bright future! She is really good at acting!"

"So?" Emily quickly armed herself again, and she asked back in a Bitchy tone, "telling me about this will make you a little nobler? Gosh! You are exactly like her, how can I Didn’t you see it? You keep saying that Miranda is not good, admit it! From the day you put on Jimmy Choo, you have sold your soul! No wonder she likes you so much, you are all as shameless—”

"Emily." Andy also lost his temper, "Survival of the fittest, this is the principle of "Flyover"-this is what you told me-"

"GO!" Emily blinked her eyes desperately, and a shocked and guilty expression appeared on Andy's face, "Emily——"

"Just go!" Emily yelled explosively, and Andy stood up in panic, and stumbled out of the ward. Walking blankly under the cold light in the corridor of the hospital, the audience finally realized that without the illumination of a large light source, in fact, such an exquisite version of Andy is not so perfect. With freckles and blemishes, she looks devastated, and has lost the firm confidence and self-esteem she had at the beginning...

Misfortunes never come singly. That night, while attending the party hosted by her friend Lily, Andy ran into Christian again by chance. Her anger exploded, and Andy wanted to explain, "It doesn't mean anything, it's just—we're like that a lot at work, it's just professionalism."

"You're just a different person in my opinion, the Andy I knew was madly in love with Nate - arriving five minutes early to every appointment instead of missing appointments with him over and over again -" Lily shook her head, "Andy, who is comfortable wearing clothes bought from the Breeze Chain Store, I know everything about that Andy in the past sixteen years, but you—"

Compared to Andy's well-dressed attire, "I don't know you."

"So you just don't like my achievements. You don't like that I'm going to Paris." Andy's temper was aroused. , "You don't like free Marc Jacobs, I get it, you don't like me getting prettier, I'm getting more professional—"

She suddenly stopped, sighed, shook her head and said, "Lily—I—"

But the expression on Lily's face already showed that she was chilling, she shook her head, "Have a good time in Paris."

"Are you going to Paris?" Nate, who was barely present, set off another wave of quarrels. After two quarrels, Andy was emotionally unstable. The two quickly walked out of the gallery and quarreled.

"You keep saying it's professionalism, you say you don't have a choice." Nate shrugged, "Andy, what I do every day is keep track of port consumption, and I'm not Voluntary organizations like the Peace Corps work. You have to work overtime and you can't come to the party, I have no problem, I am more than four years old, you can dance all night for work, as long as you know in your heart that it is only for work."

He stared at Andy and said disappointedly, "You used to laugh at those runway girls with me, and then what happened? You diet, you celebrate free name tags, what the **** is the point? You Now that you have become like them, do you know fashion for work, or do you work for fashion?"

"I—I——" Andy was confused by Nate's question. When Nate and the whole theater were quiet to listen to her confession, Andy couldn't give an answer, and she bit her lip helplessly. , with confusion written all over his face, "I-I-"

"Just admit it, Andy, it's no big deal, admit it, and we won't have to pretend we have anything in common." Nate shook his head and stepped back, when Andy still couldn't say When trying to redeem him, he said, "I'll come get my stuff tomorrow."

"No—Nate..." Andy finally opened his mouth, and Nate turned around with a glint of hope on his face.

"That's the house you rented," Andy said with difficulty, "I'm moving out, you should stay... Anyway, it's closer to where you work."

Although I was very disappointed with Nate before, when we came to the step of breaking up, seeing Nate turning his head and walking away with injury, there was still a deep sigh in the theater, and the movie also played the scene appropriately. Sad love song. The camera cuts to their little love nest. Andy is packing his clothes under the dim light. The bed is clearly divided into two piles: one pile is fashionable clothes and bags, and the other pile is Andy’s old clothes. Clothes, these two piles of clothes are like Andy's two lives, incompatible with each other, and her new life clearly has the upper hand.

Using the little skills learned in "Flyover", Andy quickly packed up the sundries numbly and dexterously. When she touched a briefcase, her expression changed. This is Andy's interview. Carrying a purse, she opened it and took out the newspaper that she was going to show the interviewer at that time—this was a collection of articles she published in college.

I don’t know when it started to rain outside the window. Under the warm orange light, Andy was leaning on the rocking chair and flipping through previous articles. On the desk in the background was a group photo of her, Nate and Lily... In the calm light music, Andy's expression became more and more depressed. She suddenly pushed these small objects representing past dreams aside, stretched out her hands to cover her face, her shoulders twitched, obviously crying silently .

The soft music stopped slowly, the sound system was silent, and the theater fell into silence. Andy's figure seemed extraordinarily lonely in the chaotic and warm picture, almost submerged in the darkness. But her shoulders that twitched from time to time maintained enough tension, and even had a weird attraction. Just relying on such small movements to continue to firmly maintain the audience's attention, the audience can feel that Andy is about to be drawn into the heart The contradictions and pain in the depths were tormented to the extreme, and she was about to usher in an explosion.

"This girl's acting skills have really gone up to the next level." Alan Morrison felt sincerely. He has never had a particularly high opinion of Jennifer's acting skills, although he recognizes her as an acting school. , but no more, until this movie brings surprises, until this moment, "After this movie, she should be the leader of the younger generation..."

Sure enough, the slow music sounded again. In the warm love song, Andy raised her head and wiped her eyes indiscriminately. The makeup on her face had been melted by tears. Messed up and down, the eye shadow was smeared with black marks on the face, mixed with the powder that was washed away by tears... She looked even uglier than before without makeup, and she was crying and crying casually. Picking up the cosmetics on the table: Channel’s powder, HR’s mascara, Celine’s lipstick...these expensive cosmetics were thrown on the wall and the ground by her, drawing curves one after another in the air , and finally burst out bright and rich colors, exuding a strange beauty, leaving traces on the wall as if it were post-modern art.

D&G's shirt was unbuttoned, Versace's jacket was torn off a fringe, VS's expensive nightdress was torn into rags by Andy, and Andy destroyed the fashion products around him frantically and desperately , in stark and eerie contrast to the soft and warm love song, her distorted face and crying expression are just like Van Gogh's abstract paintings, attracting the audience's attention and emotions shockingly and like a magnet. Many viewers even felt suffocation-like physical discomfort, and more viewers were already in tears, but they didn't know what they were crying for.

During the premiere, film critics and fashion celebrities also fell into a deathly silence. Everyone in the audience even breathed lightly, no matter if it was Lauren Weisberg or Anna... Wintour looked thoughtfully at the crying Andy in the film, and even the film critics were speechless. In front of Andy's explosive performance, they forgot their professionalism and truly became an audience.

Soon, the originally well-organized room became a mess, and Andy's outburst came to an abrupt end. She threw an LV white tricolor handbag into the bathroom, and suddenly regretted it, and rushed into the bathroom distressedly. After rescuing it from a pool of stagnant water, I found a dry cloth professionally and meticulously, sprayed it with leather cleaner, held the handbag and wiped the stains on it with distress.

Wiping and wiping, Andy's tears flowed down again, she sat holding her handbag in the messy room and sobbed wantonly, crying while shaking her body, like a helpless child, the camera flickered On the stack of newspaper clippings, a group photo of her, Nate, Lily and other friends laughed wantonly in the background, and the headline in boldface on the clipping was very eye-catching: School labor group is running amok? The evidence of exploitation is overwhelming.

Beside the newspaper clippings, there are also some letters from readers of "Flyover", which are all letters collected by Andy when he first joined the company. In "Flyover", they ended up as trash cans. A piece of open letter paper read, "Miranda, love your magazine so much, but I'm so fat, it's disgustingly fat..."

In the cover of the letter paper, a photo of a young and beautiful girl smiling can be vaguely seen. The camera slowly withdraws from the window and gets farther and farther away. silhouette.

"Sufficiently objective position," Roger was completely moved by David's works. He was not interested in fashion at first, but now he has changed because of this movie, "The paragraph just now made Andy this The character becomes the only heroine in the whole film, and Andy is enough to overwhelm Miranda by relying on this scene, she is the peak of contradictions in the whole film. And Jennifer's interpretation is completely artistic, this film is simply The pinnacle of acting skills, gathered the three best actresses of this era. David also did a very good job. Although fashion is a relatively shallow topic, he digs deep enough into this topic and presents all aspects. This paragraph Undoubtedly, it is a wonderful satire on fashion, and it even satirizes Andy's vanity and money worship mercilessly..."

"The finishing touch," Richard Rope also squeezed the armrest, "a flawless genre classic, if you talk about movies in terms of movies, regardless of the theme, David's technique and the excellent performances of the actors, It should be able to send them to the Oscar nomination list, but unfortunately...that is just a beautiful imagination after all."

"It's such a pity that the things that were smashed just now are so pity." Jon had a completely different level of thinking, "Is that all genuine? So many good things, what a shame.--ah, but it's such a good, thought-provoking movie... Poor Andy, she's totally lost, what would I do if I were her?"

"It's time for Andy to get back on track." The small-town mothers who have weathered the storm have definitely found their position. They have their wisdom. There is definitely no future in doing it. Nate is a well-paid chef. Wouldn't it delay the marriage? After ten years, these clothes can't be eaten and raised as daughters."

Regardless of what the audience thinks, the camera in the movie has turned to Paris, and the bewildered and gorgeous night scene is quickly switched. With the dynamic country rock, Miranda and Andy in the luxury car appear in the camera. Andy was still dressed up beautifully. She looked out the window at night, but her expression was no longer purely happy, but preoccupied with elegance, but this concern added a lot of charm to her. The audience can clearly feel that Andy has matured, she is no longer the little girl at the beginning of the movie, she is not at all.

Then followed a series of fast clip editing, and Andy followed Miranda in and out of major fashion shows, Valetino, GeorgesChakra, Azzaro... the designers sitting next to Miranda were indeed real fashion big names , making people feel drunk and dazzled. In the interview after the show, Andy was also grandly introduced to those famous designers by Miranda. It seems that after she completely lost her private life, she has indeed ushered in the Great opportunities for advancement, even a new glow in love - Christian also came to Paris, and under his strong romantic invitation, the two set up a date.

When Andy asked Miranda to report on the itinerary, she suddenly found that Miranda, who has always been strong, was abnormal. Not only did his eyes and nose turn red, but he also looked a little dazed, obviously preoccupied. In the conversation between the two, Miranda finally revealed the fact that she was about to divorce.

"Ms. Dragon, workaholic..." Meryl's acting skills also exploded in this passage. She naturally handled Miranda's weakness in a credible and easy-to-accept manner, and the fragile side revealed by the strong woman , when people are embarrassed for her, they are more attractive and touching than the fragility of ordinary women. "I can think of what people will say about me even if I close my eyes, but I don't care at all."

She sniffled, "It's just...just my daughters...another disappointment...another failure, another father figure left them."

During her calm narration, Andy's expression was constantly changing. The audience felt sad for Miranda, but also noticed and understood Andy's mood: Andy is indeed sympathetic to Miranda now. Yes, it's like she also had a moment of sincere sympathy for Emily, she was still very young and easy to soften her heart - but Andy also saw the future self from Miranda, and she was frightened by such a future The more she sympathizes with Miranda's loneliness, the more she fears that she will be like Miranda in the future, successful, but always lonely.

When Miranda finished venting her emotions, the eyes of the two met again. This time, there was no tension like before. Miranda was fragile and confused, while Andy was sympathetic and soft. The camera shot from Miranda's face After crossing a half circle, it landed on Andy's face. The editor-in-chief and the assistant just stared at each other in the quiet and gorgeous hotel suite, as if they were communicating silently.

After a few seconds, Miranda returned to normal, "In short, the important thing is...the important thing is how we arrange Donatella..."

Andy lowered his head and began to record silently again. The camera circled around the two of them, taking a tour around the luxury goods scattered around in the suite. Miranda's low-key and calm voice became the background music, " Because she basically doesn't talk much..."

After congratulating the soon-to-be-promoted Nigel, Andy went on Christian's date and almost flattered him with how warm she was to him, but the romance didn't impress the audience, it I have a deeper understanding of Andy's fear: Andy is scared, she doesn't want to die alone, she desperately wants to catch something, Christian is just a lucky one at the right time.

And after a night of lingering, Christian thought Andy was completely obsessed with him, so smug he told Andy this fact in advance: Miranda will be transferred soon, and Jacqueline will be the editor-in-chief of the American version of "Flyover". Christian promised Andy, "Let me promote you to be an editor, dear, you will shine under me."

It has always been Emily's dream to become the editor of "Flyover" instead of the assistant to the editor-in-chief. Another opportunity that ordinary people would be overjoyed was put in front of Andy, but Andy did not show joy, Christian Somewhat strange, "What's the matter? I thought you would be very happy, you can finally get rid of Miranda, can't you?——Don't tell me that your complaints about her are all fake."

Yeah... The audience was also dumbfounded along with Andy: Isn't Miranda already driven to pervert by work? She's all about work, and what's happening now is the perfect irony for her, that reality will tell her that she's not that great, that she'll be replaced, that she's not a queen either. According to her own logic, survival of the fittest, she was eliminated, and Andy was chosen by the winning side, and she can work with Christian in a job that is less difficult but more lucrative, Miranda is not for Amy Li was worried, what was she worried about for Miranda? If Miranda had been in Andy's shoes, she would never have said it.

At this moment, the sharpness that has been lingering on Andy for a long time seems to be extremely strong. How Andy would choose: According to the general logic, Andy will definitely warn Miranda, because the protagonists are generally noble and righteous, but Andy is not a traditional heroine at all-although the audience may not know Chick-flick It is a proper noun, but they also have their own conclusions in their hearts. The heroines of this kind of movies are generally innocent, kind and good girls, and they will have some minor problems close to life. Andy is simply gray and black for this traditional image of being white and shining. She is gloomy, stubborn, extreme, cunning, vain... If the screenwriter arranges Andy to remain silent, it seems reasonable, but what about the movie in that case? What's the end? Could it really make Miranda fall?

Although there are quite a few viewers who hate Miranda, even they are very resistant to this idea now: Although Miranda is very bad, she has to admit that she has her charm and excellence, which makes her think about it. Failure seemed too cruel to her.

"Andy?" Christian asked again from a distance, urging Andy to answer.

As if the dark clouds were blown away by the strong wind, Andy's face slowly lit up. In the morning light, she showed a happy and carefree smile, as if the whole film The burden on her shoulders was lifted, she stood up and stretched, and smiled apologetically at Christian, "Sorry, I know it might be too late—but I still have to tell her."

Amid Christian's objections, Andy left in a hurry, broke into the meeting between Miranda and the CEO of "Flyover", and winked at her desperately, but Miranda seemed to be still concerned about her private life. It fell into Andy's eyes, and he ignored her a little from embarrassment. Andy couldn't say anything, so he could only give Miranda a final warning when she was going to the luncheon, "...they will announce at the luncheon that Jacqueline will replace you."

Miranda gave her a meaningful look, and when she opened her mouth, she talked about other trifles, "I smell freesia, you know I'm allergic to freesia."

She threw the coat into Andy's arms, "If I can still smell this smell when I speak on stage later, I will be very disappointed——That'sall."

Andy stood where she was, watching Miranda's figure walk away slowly. She was not angry, but frowned, thinking about something thoughtfully. To the entrance of the crowded venue...

But the camera cut away quickly. Amidst the sound of melodious music, the luncheon with fragrant clothes and shadows began. A new fashion brand is about to be established. The fashion group to which "Flyover" belongs is the capital injector, so Milan Da took the stage to speak, announcing the grand event and the designer's partner candidates.

Nigel, who already knew that he would be announced, was very excited, but Andy hesitated to speak for several times, and he was not happy for his friend at all. The audience seemed to understand something. With a smile, he read out the partner's name: "My friend, my long-time admirable colleague...Jacqueline Fleur." The audience was not surprised at all, and some were just suddenly enlightened.

"A reasonable turning point." Roger Ebert nodded, "As a serious workplace movie, this is the best solution. Of course, Nigel is very pitiful, but when Miranda himself is in danger, he can only Can be sacrificed. Miranda should be rewarded at the right time in the future."

Coincidentally, when he was thinking this way, Nigel also said to Andy with a complicated smile, "When the time is right, she will repay me."

"I think she will." Andy also nodded, exchanging a relieved smile with Nigel seriously. "I think she will..."

She moved her head and exchanged glances with Miranda who was looking here. With a decent smile, Miranda seemed to have faint guilt and worry, while Andy nodded slightly, indicating that Nigel was not too worried. Big question. These two women, who were originally in extreme opposition, seem to be getting more and more in harmony now. The exchange of the two eyes and the reasonable editing are already a meaningful dialogue.

Following a quick ending scene, Miranda and Andy reappeared in the luxury car. They were looking out the window, as if they were thinking. After a while, Miranda took the initiative to speak, " And you think I don't know."

She shook her head invisibly, "I know they're up to something, it's been a while..."

As Miranda narrated in an orderly manner, the picture began to flash back, how she offered this good position to Jacqueline first, and then convinced the CEO that she was the most suitable candidate. These details were fully integrated through a series of montages Presented in front of the audience, it is enough for them to understand the cause and effect. And Andy has been listening to Miranda's explanation expressionlessly, but Miranda doesn't seem to mind this. She looks at Andy with a trace of tenderness in her eyes, "I am very impressed by your loyalty, I can't help it." Admit it, Andy, in fact, you and I are very similar, we are a kind of people, we are destined to go to the top... The world belongs to people like us, we can see through the needs and desires of others, so as to choose our own life.”

However, her encouragement failed to arouse Andy's joy, and Andy shook his head, "Nigel..."

A pimple appeared on Miranda's calm expression, "You know, that's the best choice."

Maybe realizing that Andy has refuted her powerfully - Miranda was ultimately forced to choose a path she didn't want to take, and if she could, she certainly didn't want to sacrifice Nigel's interests and her own expansion within the group opportunity for strength. Miranda launched a gentle counterattack, "Survival of the fittest, isn't it? This is the workplace, Andy, you made the same choice as me... to Emily."

Facing Andy who was speechless, she said softly, "You chose to transcend... people will curse you and hate you, but in the end they can only please you and worship you, Andy, what do you want To achieve something, if you want to live such a life, you must make such a choice.”

At this time, Miranda no longer has the slightest hostility or suspicion towards Andy, and she talks like a life mentor. There are some white-collar women with profound social experience in the audience—including the fashion The big guys are all smiling: Nigel, Miranda’s confidant in the magazine, is already dissatisfied with her. Miranda needs a new confidant and heir. Maybe she does have a different view of Andy, but for Miranda, She said that no action has only one purpose, and she is cultivating suitable confidantes carefully and persuasively.

Although they have their own guesses about Miranda's intentions, these women who have experienced many vicissitudes of life are not disgusted by it. Miranda is right. If you want to achieve success in the workplace, this is just a lesson for Andy. . The real workplace, whether it is the professional field of these white-collar women, or the fashion industry where the fashion big shots live, is far more dangerous than the movie.

As for the general audience, they only saw Miranda's intention of cultivating, and at the same time, they were also entangled with Andy: should they continue to accept this outlook on life? If you don't accept it, it seems to be wasting the great opportunity right now. The appreciation from Miranda is very precious, but if you accept it, will Andy...become the same as Miranda?

What the film critics saw was another change in the relationship between Miranda and Andy. This clue is explained very clearly in the film. The performances of the two actresses are measured and appropriate. Although Jennifer is young, she does not lose the slightest bit in the confrontation with Meryl. Her Andy no longer needs to be loud and defensive. Sexual body language can also sit on an equal footing with Miranda, have an equal dialogue, and the aura is not inferior. More importantly, this kind of change is handled very naturally. It can be said that in this paragraph, the performance of the two people It's kind of back to basics.

"It's almost the end." Roger thought enthusiastically, "This is really a crew full of miracles, so what kind of ending will David give us?"

"Yeah." Unexpectedly, after a short thought, Andy admitted it, and a sunny smile appeared on her face again, "You are right, if I want to achieve something, I have to One day I must make such a choice."

"You will." Miranda smiled triumphantly, and she said gently, "I know you...you will."

"I will." Andy also agreed, "I will, I also understand that one day when this happens to me, I will do whatever it takes to keep my position, and I will do everything for my sake." Bite, wrestle, kill... that's professionalism.”

The last sentence, she said so murderously, Miranda was teased by her to chuckle, and Andy went on to say, "I will, I will really do it-only, I will not do it for Fashion does that.”

Miranda's smile froze, but Andy's smile became bigger and bigger. The speed of the car slowed down. There were reporters waiting in front of them. Looking at each other, Miranda stared at Andy stiffly, and Andy only smiled confidently and happily at her.

Slowly, the corners of Miranda's lips curled up. She showed a gentle and gratifying smile, and Andy's smile gradually widened. They looked at each other with kindness and appreciation. In the middle, the car stopped.

Miranda and Andy looked at each other for the last time, then opened the doors and got out of the car respectively, and walked in two different directions without any hesitation.

The camera gets farther and farther away, Miranda walks forward noblely surrounded by flashing lights, while Andy walks towards the wide square under the blue sky and white clouds, no one looks back, no matter Miranda or Andy, their There was still that tiny but very sincere happy smile on the lips.

The music started, and amidst the music, Andy's phone recording sound came, "This is Andy, I'm not convenient to answer the phone right now, please leave a message after the BI sound."

"Hey, I'm Nate," said Nate's voice. "I got your message Andy, I just want to know when we can meet, I have a lot to say to you...I got a job at Boston Oaks, and I've been thinking a lot during this time , I hope to see you next second."

There is also Emily's exaggerated, forcibly suppressed joyful voice, "What is 'comfort that I can't go to Paris', I don't know that we are so familiar that we need comfort, anyway, you really shouldn't Those who eat crabs, those evening dresses are all one size too big, I have to take them to make them smaller..."

Amidst the audience’s emotional chuckles, the scene returns to New York from the cityscape of Paris. Andy, who is still dressed in fashion, stands outside the office building of The New Yorker, showing a confident smile , into the clean and fashionable office of "The New Yorker", where people come and go.

"Andrea Sykes." The editor-in-chief of "The New Yorker" interviewed her in the magnificent office, "You have published articles in our magazine, your resume is also very beautiful, and the attached articles are also impressive. Impressive, the only problem is, "Flyover."

Andy raised his eyebrows, and was not frightened by the editor's intentional meal, but just looked at him calmly, but the editor was a little embarrassed, coughed slightly, and then continued, "You only do this in "Flyover" eight months, why?"

"Because I think I've learned enough." Andy said calmly and sincerely.

"OK..." the editor glanced at her, "I happen to be a friend of Miranda Presley, so I called her, do you know what she said?"

Although Andy was still smiling, her breathing was a little tight. In the tension between her and the audience, the editor-in-chief said, "She said you are the most arrogant and disappointing assistant she has ever met. She said if I don't hire you, then I'm the biggest fool."

Andy raised his eyebrows, and the editor-in-chief continued, "And, she said that since you are coming for an interview, let me bring you something by the way—"

He waved his hand to the door, and Andy turned around, and saw the editor's assistant pushing a mobile hanger full of clothes, her eyes widened in surprise: Giorgio Armani, Dior, Prada... ...this hanger is full of fine clothes.

"She asked me to bring you a sentence," the editor-in-chief continued, observing Andy's expression curiously, "'I heard that journalists also need good clothes for interviews, although I know you won't wear them for fashion. Do that, but I think you'd do this for fashion'—do you know what she means?"

Among the brisk music, Andy laughed loudly. Along with the half-envious and half-gratified laughter in the movie theater, the scene switched to the streets of New York, and Andy struggled to pull the heavy hanger. He walked forward with a 'hey, hey', his posture and movements were full of joy, which caused bursts of laughter.

She had obviously been walking for a while, and she had come to the opposite side of the "Flyover" building again. She stood still and looked at this familiar building with emotion. , only to find that Miranda just walked out of the building, followed by a flustered Emily, and the driver Roy was opening the car door for her—obviously, they were going out to watch a show somewhere again.

Maybe sensing her gaze, the three of them all looked over at the same time, Miranda showed no expression, Emily twitched the corners of her lips, expressing her disdain for Andy's funny posture, Roy was full of joy smile. Andy stared at them for a few seconds, and suddenly burst into laughter. She stretched out her hand and waved happily at them a few times, and made a gesture of thumbs up.

Roy was the first to respond to her. Emily dodged a few glances at Miranda, and quietly gave a thumbs up behind Miranda's back. Surprisingly, it was Miranda who also expressed her gratitude to Andy. Made a Thumbup before getting into the car. ——Although it was very reserved and short-lived, it was indeed a thumbs up after all.

After Emily got in the car, she was still looking at Andy who was going on, and peeking at Miranda's face. After a while, he glared at Emily impatiently, and ordered the driver outside the camera, "Go."

As the mysterious smile on her lips froze, the screen went black, and the credits of the credits rolled out—the movie ended.

"Bravo!" At the premiere, I don't know which Italian yelled this sentence, and the movie-watching guests began to applaud one after another. Whether they were film critics or fashion guests, they put down their usual restraint and gave warm applause to express their appreciation for the film.

Amid the applause, the lights in the arena came on, and Jenny applauded politely while sorting out her inner emotions: As the original creator and participant, it was impossible for her to make an objective evaluation of the film, or even When watching the film, she couldn't get into the story, and all she could think about was 'is the camera angle a bit crooked', 'so David edited this part in the end' and other distracting thoughts. Due to too many adaptations, she has no doubts about the quality of the film. Now I have a lot of thoughts, and I can only say that it is completely different from the original movie, even the theme of the discussion and the final choice of the heroine are completely different. Although they all end with resignation, if the original movie is a criticism and denial of fashion in the end, then it is obvious that in this version, Andy finally reached a reconciliation and acceptance with fashion, and actually inherited Miranda The set of workplace means, but chose to use them in the field of journalism. She and Miranda ended up being the same kind of people: both fighting for causes they loved and giving up some mainstream virtues.

Of course, from an aesthetic point of view, this ending is more in line with her appetite, and perhaps also the appetite of these enthusiastic film critics and fashion industry people who came up to congratulate them. Winners, but for the vast majority of audiences, the mainstream "family first, praise the truth, the good and the beautiful" thinking must prevail, otherwise Hollywood would not regard this as a golden rule that commercial films cannot violate. From this point of view, "Prada" even has some cultish colors, at least in terms of the final value output. Jenny is really not sure how the market will react to this.

"How much box office do you think we can win at the midnight show?" Jenny couldn't help but ask Meryl next to her in a low voice when meeting the Fox executives who came to congratulate her, her anxiety was fully reflected in her tone .

"You made a good movie, Jenny, you did a great job," Meryl, who had gone through ups and downs, was much calmer than her. She patted Jenny's hand and replied softly, " That's the most important thing, isn't it?—for now, enjoy its success."

Jennie had to let herself smile, and jumped forward into the compliments.

The author has something to say: updated, 1W4

I'm so tired, my hand hurt yesterday...

Speaking of which, the Northwestern University that Andy graduated from is indeed not an Ivy League school, but it is also a very good school. For the convenience of revision, I simply changed her university to Cornell University...
