Chapter 274: Reversal!?
"You don't have a choice? Who rules that you don't have a choice? It's always you who makes the choice! It's all a damn excuse to convince yourself and others! It's not about Homecoming, it's about ...... You've changed, think about it!"
On the big screen of more than 3,000 theaters, on the streets of New York at night, as Alex turned away excitedly, under a specific shot, Andrea, played by Jessica, had red eyes, a face full of all kinds of tastes, like laughing and crying, the camera slowly pulled away, she was so unnatural that she didn't even seem to know where to put her hands, gasping for trembling breath, wiping the corners of her eyes with tears, while blinking.
The scene switches to a top-down long shot, and Andrea is seen standing in place, and Alex is already getting farther and farther away.
"Bastard! idiot!!" Countless male viewers secretly yelled, let's go, let's go, your angel girlfriend is going to belong to someone else! The female audience in the audience was also a little depressed, seeing that they had already replaced Andrea no matter what Jessica was now, and they were distressed by her! Although there is no love scene in this movie at all, Andrea's mother, high school and college classmate and best friend Lily Goodwin have more scenes than Alex, but the taste of being dumped is really uncomfortable.
Of course, there are a lot of schadenfreude who deserve it! This part of the female audience is very refreshing, Andy, this is indeed your own choice!
"Hey, what kind of magic did Wang Yang do again?" Seeing this scene, Natalie couldn't help but sit up straight, the expression on her face was a little strange, she could obviously see that the feeling of this crying scene was different, Jessica had been alive and kicking all along, why now? When she thought about "Youth Singing and Dance", she wanted to laugh, but now she wants to cry...... Natalie snorted in confusion and shrugged her shoulders, "Whatever." β
Jessica's choked appearance made many people's hearts ache. Film critics have also given her extra points for her interpretation, just this paragraph, it is definitely A+! "Salon" Stephanie nodded in admiration, full of persuasive and infectious performance!
Although a large number of film critics are very dissatisfied with Wonder Young, it is undeniable that the three female protagonists in "TDP", especially the crying scene, Meryl Streep has not seen for the time being;
Looking at herself on the screen, Jessica couldn't help but look down at the engagement ring on the ring finger of her left hand, filling her heart with happiness and couldn't find the sadness at that time, she didn't know why, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Thank you, Jan." Wang Yang next to him looked at her, held her hand and stroked it, and looked at the big screen with a smile without saying anything.
Andrea slowly turned, and the camera returned to the frontal close-up, her sad pretty face tensed indifferently, twitched her nose again, and walked away in silence and determination.
The story continues after a twist, and Andrea, who has fallen out with her boyfriend, is sad, irritable, and more doubtful about the value of her work. The audience felt this through the re-enactment and contrast of the same scene on the screen, with Andrea tossing and turning in bed at night, the quilt covering and covering, the alarm clock on the bedside table spinning rapidly, and finally she shouting like crazy, "The New Yorkerββ!!!"
But that didn't dampen Andrea's dedication to fashion, or that she really changed, and she followed Miranda to Paris for the spring/summer fashion show.
The beautiful scenery of Paris is shown dreamily on the screen full of film texture, but it is not the bustling and lively side, the green and elegant, the warm and simple color of the picture, and a touch of romantic elegance comes to the face. Jessica on the screen looks out at the street scene through the car window, with an intoxicated smile on her face, looking at Paris in the drizzle, Jessica in front of the screen can't help muttering: "It's beautiful......"
"Wow, that's beautiful!" the audience sighed a little for both men and women, and the female audience who had longed for Paris for a long time was already blushing.
Not only did the audience find the images beautiful, but many film critics, film practitioners and other professionals praised Valley Pfister's cinematography skills, as well as the magic of Yang's extraordinary vision for framing. Paris under the lens of photography can be varied, sometimes the artistic conception of the frame on the screen is even more beautiful than the real Paris, and now the performance of the screen, "Chicago Reader".
This is the intermittent flash of "TDP", if it is a normal commercial film by an ordinary director, it is often used in the bustling and lively Paris, which is very gorgeous but has no substance, and now that Magic Young has made an independent film, so Andrew Salis of "The New York Observer" ...... shook his head: "Waste." β
Immediately, a group of film critics understood the intention of Marvel Young to shoot Paris so elegantly and quietly, the beautiful picture had just made people intoxicated, and suddenly there was a loud "click, click, click", and a loud noise, the footage of press conferences, cocktail parties and catwalks quickly and clearly intersected, tall models in beautiful evening gowns, new spring and summer clothes, reporters chasing microphones, cameos of Parisian fashion celebrities...... Suddenly switched from elegant and violent to flashy, from quiet to noisy, the fashion show that was supposed to represent elegance suddenly made the audience quite puzzled, why is there a vulgar feeling?
"What a blow!" The cameo was used for comparison, and the celebrities in the fashion industry were upset that the critics applauded it, and the language of the shot was brilliant! USA Today's Claudie Yapuger added a little bit to TDP, and when Magic Young got the details right, the film was pleasing and funny, and the satire was brilliant: fashion can never compare to the beauty of nature, or that nature is the best fashion.
It's a pity, it's a pity! It could be a question of whether Magic Young wanted it or not, or it could be that his ability and talent had dropped so much that he couldn't make the whole film shine. In any case, Eaton Alta of "The New York Film Critics" knows that a bad job is not good, and critics don't care what the reason is.
Sure enough, there is Meryl Streep's crying scene!
When she arrives in Paris, Andrea is surrounded by busyness and fashion, but just as she is enjoying herself, she receives an emergency call from her parents, Alex and others, and her good sister and best friend Lily has been in a car accident! A dazed Andrea couldn't help but think of Emily, who was now also in the hospital due to a car accident, and flashback to the camera to see how ironic it was for Emily to look calm on the hospital bed and full of joy when she arrived in Paris.
"Who am I!?" Andrea, realizing that she was becoming more and more like Miranda, said to her mother in a frustration, "I'll go back to New York now!"
But when she came to Miranda's suite, she saw this silver-haired female devil and strong woman's eyes were red, and it turned out that Miranda's current husband Stephen had filed for divorce.
"When we get back to New York, we need to get in touch, don't ......" On the big screen, Meryl Streep, who has no makeup, is sitting on the sofa in a gray pajamas, she has glasses in her hand, her face looks haggard and unfocused, and her voice is so soft that it is almost inaudible: "Lesse, see if she can think of any way to affect this matter......" She took a deep breath softly, her eyes reddened, and said, "Minimize it." β
"Divorce again...... It's going to be news gossip headlines again. Streep shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and she hissed softly in distress, angry, ridiculous, and weak...... Mercado really wants to thank me...... I helped him sell so many newspapers......"
Streep was silent for two seconds, then took another deep breath, shook his head and said, "Whatever, I don't care, I really don't care what others write about me." She looked at Andrea opposite, choked up and confessed: "But mine, my daughter, I am ...... It's so unfair to them. She rolled her moist eyes upward, blinked and shrugged her shoulders with controlled emotion, and said, "They're just another disappointment, another frustration, another father's...... Character ......" she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Leave." β
The audience watched it devotedly, and the critics couldn't help but praise it, if Emily Blunt and Jessica Alba's crying scenes still have performance traces, then Meryl Streep has no performance at all, only real, real, real!
Streep has once again proved to the world that no role can be difficult for her! Kirk Honeycutt, a well-known film critic of "The Hollywood Reporter," silently praised that Streep and Wonder Young's collaboration was a success, and that she had brought a new image on the screen and brought a big surprise! He was sure that Meryl Streep's name would be on the list of nominees for the 76th Oscars next year for Best Actress.
Looking at the weak image of the female demon, Jessica pursed her lips, her face showed a trace of sympathy and sadness, her lips opened a few times and she still didn't speak, she didn't say anything comforting or going back to New York.
"In short, the most important thing is ...... Ahem!" Streep blinked his teary eyes and continued to whisper, "The important thing is ...... Alas, what matters is where we put Donna Terra to sit? Because she doesn't talk to people much. β
When Andrea left Miranda's suite, she exhaled a long breath, took out her mobile phone and called back: "Mom, there are some things, I still don't go back for the time being, I can't help anything when I go back, can I? No, it's not ......" Her face was full of distress, listening to her mother's voice: "Paris is beautiful, isn't it? Andy, I'm disappointed in you." She suddenly closed her phone and walked forward.
The audience in front of the screen couldn't help frowning, what is this? Andrea is loyal to her work, empathizes with the pain of Miranda's "dumping", understands the difficulties of this female demon and strong woman, so she can't bear to leave at such a juncture...... Apparently Andrea didn't know what she was doing, she was in a state of confusion and struggle, and after work, she walked along the secluded forest road near the hotel, looking at the beauty of Paris around her with a dazed and bored expression, and her best friend lying in a bed in the ICU, on a ventilator, monitoring her heartbeat...... In the picture, Andrea suddenly covered her face and lowered her head sadly, picked up the Prada handbag in her hand without warning, and smashed it on the ground.
"Oh my God, that's the Prada Limited Edition!!"
There were a lot of exclamations in the screening halls of 3056 theaters, and many white-collar female audiences who love fashion were not mentally prepared for this.
But the destruction of the precious Prada limited edition bag on the screen was not over, and Jessica stepped forward and kicked it hard, and the bag was immediately kicked away, flying far off the ground. Under the close-up shot, Jessica exhaled, her eyes were fixed, she pulled the hair hanging down her forehead, walked forward and bent over to pick up the handbag with many flower marks, her pretty face was tense, and she walked forward quickly.
"Okay! That's right, smash it, kick it, and go back to New York!" There were also a group of male and female viewers who were very excited, Fanny, who has never liked fashion, Evelyn, who wanted Andrea to be a good girl again, and others, all smiled and smashed fashion handbags in Paris, the "fashion capital", which was interesting! But to their disappointment, Andrea picked up the handbag and continued to work.
And there are only more than 20 minutes left in the film, which naturally means that it has entered the final stage, Siegfeld Theater, almost ten of the film critics across North America have pouted, so far there is still too little flash, mediocre excellent, what will be the final stage, will there be a reversal?
As the story continues, Miranda, who has filed for divorce from her husband, faces another career crisis, and the headquarters of Skybridge magazine intends to transfer the French editor-in-chief to the United States to take her place, but this crisis is easily resolved by her, at the expense of Nigel, the number one fashion consultant, for a long-dreamed promotion.
Seeing that Miranda treats Nigel, who is loyal to her, as a pawn and gives up on it, Andrea finally comes to her senses, and Miranda does not need the sympathy and help of others, and she has never been Miranda's friend! Perhaps Miranda's actions are understandable, but she is a demon! Later, Miranda once again made impossible and torturous harsh demands to confirm this.
What's even more terrifying is that she is becoming like Miranda! So in the hotel suite, Andrea says she wants to go back to New York immediately.
"I know you've always wanted to be a columnist for The New Yorker, and I know a lot of people in the magazine publishing industry, including the editor-in-chief of The New Yorker......" Meryl Streep, dressed in black professional fashion, sat on the couch in a spacious, black professional fashion suite, and said to Jessica, who was standing, "I can recommend you over, no one will refuse to give a column to Miranda's former first assistant, as long as you stay and help me finish this fashion week." β
Although there may be only two or three days left in this spring/summer fashion week, and you can endure it for a year and fulfill your dreams, the audience is inclined to refuse, of course, they know that this is a certain result. The Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstein shrugged his shoulders, he really deserves to be a top student of USC, a well-structured commercial film, and the final self-redemption, Hollywood-style ending, has begun!
"I love this paragraph. In front of the big screen, Jessica whispered to Wang Yang, and Wang Yang nodded: "I like it too, you acted very well." β
In the different screens that countless viewers were looking at, Andrea stared at Miranda, and after a few seconds, she suddenly took out her mobile phone and said, "I'm going home, I'm going home!" Andrea smiled, she pressed her phone a few times, and her voice was a little excited and choked: "Mom, I'll go back to New York now......! I'll go home now!"
"Why do you care so much about your boyfriend?" Streep's voice was still very soft, she didn't know anything about Lily. Andrea closed her phone suspiciously, and said, "How do you know?" Miranda laughed, "I know everything." She blinked, as if remembering her husband who filed for divorce, and smiled: "He's just afraid of you, an incompetent person, and wants you to be as incompetent as him, more incompetent than him, so that they will feel better." β
Andrea shook her head with a smile and said, "No, it's not because of Alex, but I don't think there's any need to tell you, you don't understand...... You don't know how to love ......" Miranda, who picked up the magazine, glanced at her, smiled and said softly: "Love, hehe! If he loves you, why don't you rejoice in your success? Why don't you understand and understand your work? What kind of love is that? He loves himself. Andrea took a deep breath and said, "Miranda, you love yourself, you only love yourself, you only care about yourself! And your daughters, maybe, who knows? I have never seen you send them to school in person...... The more she spoke, the more angry she became, angry with herself, angry with Miranda, and said loudly: "There are still others, you don't understand friends, you don't have friends! You don't have friends! Nigel thinks he's your friend, but he's ...... You take advantage of everyone, you use their kindness, you use their dreams, you use their trust in you!"
Between camera cuts on the screen, Miranda is silent, and when Andrea mentions her twin daughters, she tilts her head a little unnaturally.
Meryl Streep in front of the screen couldn't help but purse her mouth, Miranda loves her family very much, she is so busy that she ignores everything, thinking that there is material satisfaction and a stable family state, and the twin daughters always make bizarre requests, just to get the attention of their mother, but Miranda thinks that it is enough to be satisfied. Luckily, Meryl Streep looked at her eldest daughter, Maimie, who was thankfully not Miranda.
"Well, well said, scold her to death!" Evelyn secretly cheered, now Miranda was not pitiful at all, or that she had a lot to hate. Not every female audience is very happy, but many girls like Claire are a little abrupt, this is Lauren Weisberg! Later, she didn't go to The New Yorker, but wrote a book called "The Devil Wears Prada".
Film critics everywhere were intrigued by these lines, Miranda's words were actually full of deep meaning, clarifying the pain of strong women, and Andrea's words also poked Miranda's character to death. Almost half of the film critics who have not yet decided on the rating have renewed hope for "Fantastic Young", and maybe there will be a wonderful ending.
