Chapter 273: Beautiful, Isn't Beautiful? (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"It's just, you know that these two belts are almost identical, uh, actually I'm still learning about this, and ......"

"This ...... Stuff?"

On the big screen of 3056 theaters in North America, Miranda and others are choosing fashion to match, and not long after passing the interview, Andrea, who served as Miranda's second assistant, saw them holding a light blue and light blue belt, and immediately couldn't help laughing, and was asked lightly by Miranda: "Is it interesting?" Andrea's answer was interrupted by Miranda, and the picture changed from the silly and old-fashioned Jessica to the silver-haired demon Meryl Streep.

I saw that she was slightly stunned, and then said quite funny: "Oh, OK, I know." You don't think these 'things' have anything to do with you? You go to your closet and choose ......" she looked at Andrea with a smile and said, "Like your baggy blue fleece, because you want to show the world that your life is so important that you don't have time to care about what you wear." ”

Jessica, who was sarcastically caricatured, looked a little evasive, and in the quick cut of the camera, Emily and the others around her were either indifferent or ridiculed. Streep continued as he matched the outfit in his hand, "But you don't understand that the dress isn't blue, it's not turquoise or glass, it's sky blue. And you never know something. ”

"It's like in 2002, Oscar de la Renta designed a series of sky blue gowns for his own show, and then I remember Yves Saint Laurent...... He's showing off a collection of military jackets in sky blue. I think a jacket is still needed. Streep said to the designer and continued: "SOON SKY BLUE BECAME A FAVORITE OF THE OTHER EIGHT DESIGNERS, SHOWING UP AT THEIR SHOWS, THEN DROPPING DOWN THEIR STORES, THEN SLOWLY SEEPING INTO THE PATHETIC CASUAL-CORNER (A MID-RANGE BRAND THAT PROMOTES COMFORT), AND FINALLY YOU FIND IT ON SALE IN THE MALL." ”

"Whatever, whatever. Under Jessica's somewhat embarrassed expression, Streep still said lightly: "That blue has generated millions of profits, countless job opportunities, and the incalculable amount of effort they have put into it...... And you, the funny thing, you think that you chose this color and this dress according to your own wishes, and think that your choice has nothing to do with fashion, but the fact is that the people in this room help you make a decision and choose this 'thing' out of this large pile of 'things'. ”

In front of the big screen, countless female viewers naturally looked at the clothes on their bodies, and many female viewers wearing sky blue low-end brand clothes felt Andrea's embarrassment, and even the girls who were disdainful of fashion and scolded her for "a group of bitches who waste time on dressing up" were a little blushing, this is indeed the current popular color, is it true, the fashion industry made a choice for her?

Is this really a satirical fashion film? Fanny, dressed in a sky-blue coat, frowned, but it seemed to make sense in retrospect, looking at the screen picture, maybe "TDP" could explain clearly and tell her what fashion is.

Hearing this, the fashion people in the Siegfeld Theater were very satisfied, Anna Wintour smiled, although the Losers Lauren Weisberger was sensational and smeared her everywhere, but Weisberg still has a little understanding of fashion, Wang Yang also turned them into very beautiful screen pictures, Streep's interpretation is not "Wintour" at all, so far the film is very good.

The creative team of "TDP" has absorbed a group of members of the team of the fashion TV series "** City", including costume designer Patricia Field, set designer Lydia Marcos, art director Jeremy Kanghui and others, plus Wang Yang has an objective attitude towards fashion, this "TDP" is the same as the tone of the 06 version, it is not the kind of flat, directly sarcastic and satirical "fashion useless" superficial movie.

Most of the audience has become calm now, accepting fashion work without beautification or splashing dirty water, and it is Miranda's words that touch each of them, and she clearly and profoundly speaks of how fashion affects the world and everyone's life.

The sky blue color is selected by a well-known designer from the countless colors of the color card to make a beautiful dress and launch, and then the media and magazines convey it to the public, and the mid-to-low-end market will follow suit and form a new trend. So Andrea's discounted sweater is related to fashion, but it is only a surplus product of fashion, and in the final analysis, it is a choice made by someone else, that person is the designer and editor-in-chief of fashion magazines, she Miranda.

Miranda's pickiness is not some demon, it's a professional requirement, it's a work ethic.

The so-called "details determine success or failure" is feasible in any profession, movies are like this, fashion is like this, the pursuit and persistence of details, repeated attempts to match, just like the set is like editing, the color of the two belts may only be a little different, but they will have different perceptions and feelings with the same clothes, and the best and most popular one can be found from these subtle differences, which is the art of fashion.

This is also the rule that a fashion practitioner can survive and succeed in the fashion industry, so Miranda is probably the most picky person in the world, and she has brought the habit of pickiness at work into her life, which is unbearable, but it is not the reason why TDP describes her as a demon.

It's not the reason Andrea complains, the biggest difference between the 03 version and the 06 version on the big screen is Andrea's different shapes, Andrea, who was half sarcastic by Miranda, didn't scold, she saw the influence of fashion, saw Miranda's power and charm, Miranda's choice determines the way girls all over the world dress up next quarter and next year, and dominates the trend direction of the world.

Andrea wants to change herself and prove herself, she wants to work hard to do well, from an old man to a person in the house.

"This woman is so beautiful......"

In the brisk and lively song, like an advertisement for some fashion brand, Jessica walked on the street in high heels after "transformation", she was wearing the most beautiful and fashionable clothes, her hair was hot and wavy, her angelic sweet smile, slender curved figure, and under the background of a bright and bright picture with a sense of film film, the changing shape was either pure and cute or sexy and hot.

The male audience and lesbians in front of the screen are naturally full of blushing, and even many heterosexual female viewers can't help but sigh, it's no wonder that Miraculous Yang is so single-minded, what's going on with this woman, it's too exaggerated...... "OO." Evelyn and her best friend Kelly both sighed softly, envious and jealous, this woman is beautiful and domineering, and Claire, who is now a well-known blogger film critic, also laughed suddenly, she really wanted to write a one-sentence film review, "TDP" is a magical Yang to show off to everyone how beautiful his fiancée is! Jessica was still a childish big girl when "Youth Musical", and now a few years later, she has become a top woman who can make the heart of the whole earth crazy and accelerate.

"Hehe!" In an ordinary theater in New York, Natalie, who had already completed the filming of "Star Wars Prequel 3", smiled, and didn't know why she laughed, she stuffed a handful of popcorn into her mouth, and suddenly remembered a review in a movie magazine that she didn't know, her comment was "Cosmic Girl", Jessica was "Visual Kei Girl", she muttered: "Cosmic Girl, isn't it cooler......"

On the big screen, Emily, who was teasing Andrea behind her back with her colleagues, was suddenly stunned, only to see Andrea walk in confidently, and her smile looked so charming in slow motion.

"I just discovered one thing, you are not like an angel, you are an angel. Siegfeld Theater, Wang Yang looked at Jessica next to him, and sighed with a pout. Jessica shrugged her shoulders with the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't help but grin, and her soft voice was full of sweetness: "I don't know when it started, in addition to my family, there are many people who praise me for being beautiful, but do you know which sentence I like the most and move me the most? The first sentence: Trust me, you are an ugly duckling now, but you will become a beautiful white swan in the future." ”

Wang Yang touched his forehead a little funny and stuck out his tongue, in fact, it was good at that time, but he didn't pay attention to dressing up and had braces, and said with a smile: "You are now." Jessica looked at the screen and then at him, and said to herself almost silently, "No, I'll always be that ugly duckling." ”

"Is that all?" Watching Andrea work actively and hard after the change, gradually getting Miranda's satisfaction, Clifford Pugh, the film critic of the Houston Chronicle, frowned, and after watching it for so long, there was no sense of surprise at all!

It's not just Anna Wintour, or the king of the world, James Cameron, or Pokémon Wang Young, film critics are also a super picky group, especially when their expectations before watching the film reach MAX, especially when it is the youngest Oscar best director, a Chinese director, and a director who always brings surprises. This "TDP" is almost at the same level as his 19-year-old "Youth Musical"!

"USA Today" female film critic Claudia Yapug also raised her eyebrows, compared to "MIT-21-TEAM" The first second and first paragraph of the plot shocked the audience, and it was impossible to forget that classic scene for a few minutes, and then entered the plot without being wordy. This "TDP" has wasted too much time, and it is too dull and boring.

Even putting aside the analogy of the level of the magic Yang itself, this movie seems to be just a clichéd Hollywood product, talking about some extremely shallow truths, Wang Yang didn't even spend the energy to tell these truths well, he could have explained the ordinary truths wonderfully! But now only the space and time are given to those material and fashionable displays, although everything is exquisite, and the use of lens colors and other features has an obvious magical Yang "warm" style, but it is just a complete and disappointing commercial film routine.

"The bland and boring office, the shrunken satirical fashion, the rescue of things that are not a big deal, and it's just that Streep, Alba, and that Emily are surprisingly ......"

Salon is the female film critic of "Salon" magazine Stephanie Zacharek ringed her hands, this is really a film without any technology, Meryl Streep's performance is amazing, especially at her age, and dares to dye a handful of silver hair, playing a completely different type of screen new image than before, which is admirable, and even more admirable is that she acted really well, and that profound skill is all shown in a silent interpretation.

Emily Blunt may be the biggest surprise, she grabs her attention in every scene with her presence, facing Streep is no exception, Jessica Alba has also made great progress, her acting is more life-oriented and more dedicated, and it is not a simple thing to make people notice her acting skills under her overly beautiful appearance. But for now, they are all victims, and no matter who the director is, this is just a boring semi-satirical film.

Is Magic Young losing his spirit? Is he afraid of offending the fashion industry? Or is he just trying to take care of most of his fashion-loving audience and make a lot of money at the box office?

The Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern cocked his feet a little impatiently, so disappointed, now it's just a cliché high-end TV show, introducing fashion! He still thinks how powerful it will be, and the feeling of psychological frustration is really uncomfortable, think of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is so moving, "Juno" is so funny and moving, last year's "The Hangover" almost made him laugh to death, and not long ago "MIT-21-TEAM" was even more exciting.

And this ...... Joe Morgenstern has already decided to give TDP a B- grade, and he thinks this will be the first time he's given Wang Yang a B grade.

The story on the screen gradually progresses, and Andrea's mentality gradually changes, she tries to climb upstream, and under the small fight with Emily and others in the office, she also begins to diet to lose weight, although she is not fat at all. Faced with the displeasure of her family and boyfriend, Andrea said, "Please, it won't hurt you to eat less anyway!" But those pants, do you see those pants worth $2,000? A fat girl can't wear it, it's the hot and hot that hurts. ”

"yes, I'll be on Flyover for a year, and then I'll be on The New Yorker!

On the big screen, in the living room, Andrea's tone played by Jessica was already a little perfunctory, and Andrea's mother persuaded in distress: "But you don't need to go on a diet!" Andrea rolled her eyes and said, "No, Mom, I know my body best." Andrea's mother sighed, "Andy, is it worth it? Your sister gave birth two days ago, and you haven't visited her yet." ”

"Oh, oh...... I called, I'm too ......, too much" Andrea didn't finish speaking, the mobile phone in her pocket suddenly rang, she quickly took it out to take a look, and then got up and said urgently: "Here again, Mom, I have to go." She glanced back at her mother and said, "This weekend, tell her that I'm going to visit this weekend......!" Okay......" Andrea's mother looked dissatisfied, helpless, and sighing.

Although film critics everywhere are almost all dissatisfied, most of the ordinary audiences in the 3056 theaters are fascinated and enjoy the viewing process very much, everything is so comfortable and pleasing to the eye, girls see dazzling and dizzying fashion brands, boys see beautiful and beautiful fashion beauties, and there are interesting stories and superb acting skills...... This is definitely the first fashion film! Fanny, who also watched it with relish, praised it in her heart from time to time, which is really worthy of the magic Yang! She is such a person who hates fashion, she actually has the feeling of falling in love with this movie, 10 points, 10 points!

"Andrea has gone bad. "In a San Francisco theater, Evelyn sighs like Andrea's mother, the silly Andy was so cute at first, and now she's on a diet and scheming, it's annoying, but it's so beautiful! Think about how Lauren Weisberg could have written TDP if it weren't for that? That's a great woman, but more importantly, because she knew Andrea would eventually turn back into a good girl.

Claire glanced at her watch in a hurry, and suddenly felt a little reluctant, why did more than half of the time pass all of a sudden!?Every time I watch a movie of Magic Young, I will be like this, or nervous or excited, hilarious or comfortable...... It's all about losing track of time.

Compared with the 06 version of "TDP", Wang Yang is more faithful to the details of the original work and Andrea's heart, and there is a big difference in the structure of how to tell this story.

"Miranda, I love you and Skybridge Magazine, you're awesome! you're my idol...... I spend all my money on making myself look more like a model, but I'm so incompetent, I hate myself! I've got a huge ass, a fat body, oh my god! I really don't know how to do it, but my high school prom is coming up this year! Can you give me an evening dress, or tell me what kind of evening dress is right for me? I need your help! Please, please, please......"

In the elegant office on the big screen, Andrea received a large stack of letters from readers of "Flyover", and opened them one by one while working as an assistant, and when she finally watched the letter from a high school girl, an adoring female voice sounded voiceover, and the camera focused on the photo attached to the envelope, a beautiful white blonde girl, where is the fat?

The high school prom is one of the most important moments in life, looking at (listening) to the begging tone of this high school female reader, Jessica pursed her lips on the screen, she got up with the letter and walked towards Miranda's office, knocked on the door, looked at Streep behind the desk, she said: "Miranda, here's a letter from a reader......" Streep, who was wearing rimless glasses, looked up at her, and his faint expression seemed to say: "Did you work as an assistant on your first day?

Jessica approached the desk and handed a photo of the letter, explaining, "This girl is going to her high school prom soon, and she wants you to help her, give her an evening dress, or give some advice on dressing......"

"Dispose of it. As Streep glanced at the photo, the camera gave a close-up of the blonde girl in the photo, Streep looked down at the documents on the table again, and said very lightly, "What are you still standing here?"

"Uh, you mean ......" Jessica blinked a little incomprehensibly, what does it mean to deal with it? But Streep had no intention of saying another word to her, and went about her work, and Andrea, who knew Miranda's temper well, took two steps back to leave, and tried to put the envelope on the desk again, and before her hand reached up, Streep, who didn't even look at her, said, "Take it out." ”

"Emily, how should this be handled?" The camera is everything, Jessica, who left the office, had to ask Emily, the first assistant who is also friend and foe, Emily Blunt with red hair and smoky makeup glanced at the envelope photo a few times, and immediately couldn't help laughing, and tried her best to maintain the demeanor of a fashion person, she smiled: "That's what you did, go to Miranda, aren't you?" Jessica raised her eyebrows, indicating that you laugh. Emily made a few palm squeezing movements, stretched out her hand and smiled, "Give it to me, give it to me." She took the envelope photo, catwalked gracefully to the trash can, loosened the fingers of her right hand holding the envelope photo, and smiled: "Done." ”

There are no slow motion or close-ups, and the envelope photo falls neatly into the trash without a sound. Jessica looked dumbfounded and said, "What are you doing......?"

"What? Don't you understand? I know you don't. Emily rolled her eyes, with a really unbearable expression, and took the opportunity to teach Andrea a crisp accent: "Sky blue evening dresses belong to the fashion world, and sky blue fleece is what belongs to them." A fat girl in high school dressed in a dress that Miranda had personally chosen?Oh my god! she's her daughter?Can't stand it, your ignorance has tainted this place. ”

"Sky blue, sky blue...... Isn't our "Flyover" meant to inspire all girls and make them become fashionable and confident......" Jessica went from a dazed and anxious voice at first, to the more she spoke, the more powerless she became, and finally suddenly said: "She's not fat." Emily, who had just sat down again, sighed, "Don't be stupid. ”

"What a blow!" When female audiences across North America felt that something was wrong and people in the fashion industry frowned slightly, film critics secretly applauded, this is irony, this is power! Sky blue evening dresses belong to the fashion industry, and sky blue fleece sweaters belong to the public. This sentence breaks through the hypocrisy of fashion, and also breaks the reality that only a few people are fashionable, and once there are many people, it may be popular, but it is not fashion.

"It's a little fun now, but it's a pity it's too little. The Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstein still shook his head, and although it gave him the feeling of "magic Yang", it was intermittent, and it was clear that Wang Yang knew how to satirize fashion, but he chose to cater to the mass market and made a lame film. Regardless of whether there was a reversal or not, he decided to give the rot an evaluation, because the first hour or so was uninteresting and should have been done better.

Claudie Yapug of USA Today is also unmoved, she is not a fan of everything, and she is not particularly picky, but if there is a scorecard, there are too few flashes of inspiration, and there are too many deficiencies, a mediocre work by Wang Yang.

Jones, on the other hand, felt very good from the beginning, this is indeed the structure of traditional Hollywood comedy, in short, it is a naïve girl who loses herself and then completes the process of self-redemption, and the genre of light comedy makes it not surprising, but its appearance is so fresh and natural, the story is smooth and stretched, and now it seems that Magic Young is not willing to judge fashion, which is a better signal.

In any case, Jones thinks that "TDP" will make for an enjoyable evening and is a good movie to watch, but he also has a vague feeling that Wonder Young may be in trouble this time, and that "MIT-21-TEAM" has let the youngest best director get away with it, and "TDP" cannot satisfy the general demands and ambitions of critics for 23-year-old Wonder Young.

On the big screen, this incident is like a watershed, waking up in the middle of the night, Andrea on the bed is expressionless looking at the ceiling in the direction of the camera, although she didn't say a word, but the audience knows that she is beginning to wake up, beginning to doubt the true value of her fashion work, and beginning to doubt whether it is worth it to go on a diet to lose weight, so busy that she doesn't even have time to visit her sister after she has a child, and move in the direction of "when you start to betray your relatives, you will be promoted"?

"For The New Yorker, for ......The New Yorker," Andrea shook her head suddenly, comforting herself or paralyzing herself and falling asleep.

It's just that the time bomb finally exploded, when Emily was in a car accident and injured her leg, unable to follow Miranda to Paris to participate in the long-dreamed Paris spring and summer fashion show, the second assistant Andrea became a candidate, although going to Paris meant missing the homecoming festival of her elementary school teacher boyfriend "Alex", Andrea still agreed to go to Paris, so the long-accumulated contradictions could not be hidden.

"How did Jessica Alba act so well?"

Looking at the picture on the big screen, many viewers can't help but be a little surprised, whether the performance is good or not is obvious to all, not to mention the "Singing and Dancing Youth" trilogy and "Sweetheart", let's just say that in the "TDP" that has made great progress, this paragraph actually makes people feel explosive! Could it be that she is good at sad crying scenes? Not necessarily, the same similar plot, "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" is just a cold poker face.

"You don't have a choice? Who rules that you don't have a choice? It's always you who makes the choice......"

"That guy is still not human!? What bullshit! Apologize quickly, quickly forgive her!" Many male viewers are a little anxious for Alex, isn't it just a homecoming holiday? As for breaking up with a girlfriend who is so beautiful and sexy and loves him deeply?
