Chapter 381: The Demon Who Wears Prada

The unexpected "premature ejaculation" of "Superman Returns" is extremely unexpected, and this "Demon Wears Prada" is an unexpected dark horse.

Comedies have always had the potential of "small knives and saws big trees", last year's "Wedding Guest" made everyone dumbfounded, with a budget of only 40 million US dollars, it won more than 260 million US dollars at the box office in North America alone, comparing blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million, similar models appeared again: "The Queen Wears Prada" invested about 50 million US dollars, and in the second week, it won the runner-up again in Zhou, and handed over the answer sheet with a score of 34 million, adapted from the best-selling film "The Queen Wears Prada" swept the North Mi box office as a dark horse, and was simultaneously released in dozens of regions around the world, with a cumulative box office of more than 160 million US dollars. (2 weeks)

In terms of word-of-mouth, "The Queen Wears Prada" has an approval rate of 80% on the Internet, and Meryl Streep, who plays the "devil's boss", was especially commended.

In the movie "The Devil Wears Prada", Meryl Streep, who won two Oscars, plays the role of Miranda Priest, a super strong woman in the fashion industry.

After more than 20 years in the film, Streep has been nominated for 12 Oscar Awards and won the queen laurel, which can be called a model in the minds of many actors, known as a great actor in a generation, but this time Streep has changed his past style and played a fashionable, dazzling, tasteful, but no sympathetic authoritarian queen, and even a female devil in the eyes of many people, who can be called an "old talented woman" In addition, Streep's visceral indifference and unparalleled noir influence in the film is another acting challenge.

Many people think that Streep's performance can be nominated for the actress, this textbook-like acting is fascinating, breathtaking, and has become one of the highlights of the film, and Heath joined the film because of her, to be able to work with this great actor, he is self-paid to join in a small role.

Andy Sanchez, who is angry everywhere, is played by Scarlett, the girl who has steadily risen to the top with "Lost in Translation", "The Hangover" and "Chainsaw", has won the love of many fans with her unique sexy and hot image, this time I am fortunate to compete with the old-timer Streep, which is definitely a rare opportunity for Scarlett to improve, under the pressure of the "devil's boss", Scarlett's acting skills also quickly followed, and the chemistry between them is 100% perfect.

Andy is a journalism student who left Northwestern University to enter the big city and the real world, believing that she can change the world.

Andy's first meeting with the demon Miranda was a huge mental torment, she was wearing a light cotton top and a plain skirt without a special style that day, and she was immediately disgusted by Miranda, but Andy, who was not afraid of tigers, would not back down from this. She may not be the most decently dressed girl in the entire office, but she's smart and works very hard, and she'll be catching up soon. This alone is impressive, and I dare not question it more, let alone want to provoke or belittle her, although in the face of playing with the most famous old actor in Hollywood, such as Meryl Streep, the young Scarlett did not show a trace of stage fright, and her generous and decent performance was just right to form a wonderful performance with a sense of rhythm with her opponent.

Streep, the actress with the most Oscar nominations in history, plays the devil's boss, which is the biggest success of this movie.

Miranda always wears silver hair, a white Hermès scarf, and a $40,000 Chanel gown, and the brands send all kinds of clothing and accessories to her company's storeroom, where they are mixed and used by the company's designers, and her assistants can also enjoy these luxuries.

Streep's Miranda is always gloomy, and before she arrives at the office, the staff on the first floor will inform her colleagues upstairs, and for a moment the whole floor will be in a state of readiness: the secretary in flat shoes grabs up spare high heels and puts them on her feet, and the senior assistant quickly puts various magazines on her desk, and pours mineral water to pick up the schedule.

Miranda's tone of voice was never subdued, and the two thin lips kept moving slightly in a short time, and she handed over a lot of affairs to the assistant in a row, without pausing between sentences, in one go. After that's it, send the person away with a cold "that's all", even if you don't hear it clearly, you can't ask her, otherwise you will lose a black face, and the possibility of dismissal will increase immediately.

Anything she tells her assistant to do, including all kinds of "impossible tasks", she will never thank you if she does it, at most she will look at you more peacefully, if you can't do it, a cold and fierce reprimand will make you feel ashamed, even if everyone knows that she is very "devil", but because of her and the magazine's fame, I dare not easily offend her, because "if you don't do it, hundreds of people will rush to do it". So the assistants were always made highly nervous by her, swallowing their anger, but in the end they all defended her, and eventually became like her.

Her beauty, her elegance, her tenacity, her wisdom, her consistent and unwavering tone, and her love and dedication to her career, such a woman is evil, even if she is evil, she is also evil direct, evil is open, evil is bright and straightforward, and she is righteous and strong, and she lives with taste and color in a wave of jealousy and curse, and the media should be nominated for an Oscar, which is not an exaggeration.

And according to many viewers, it is a very good feeling to watch the female devil Miranda scold people with an elegant British accent without dirty words, of course, provided that she is not scolded.

Streep said in an interview with Foreign News that acting in this drama was the first time to know that scolding turned out to be so cool. But Streep also felt wronged, saying that she herself was not willing to play such a stern person: "The other actors were happy on the set, only I was miserable, hiding in a corner and thinking about the psychology of the characters. ”

Streep leads, and the other supporting roles are also very good, Heath's Sean role, with the name of the male lead, is actually a male vase, which only exists to set off the heroine, but Heath has played this role alive, which is impressive.

And Emily, the female assistant played by Blake, is even more three-dimensional, this is a conscientious and frightened person who lives under the hands of the female devil, the pressure is so great that he collapses and is a little nervous at any time, and his greatest wish is to live to go to Paris with Miranda to participate in Fashion Week, she plays Emily is such a snobbish, unlucky, and never-toned clown The role is delicate and humane, this war between women is really full of gunsmoke, and there is a lot of affection behind it, and it is lively and tight, and it makes people feel happy after emotion.

The hard work of an excellent actor has improved the quality of the movie, it has been released for two weeks, and it has been recognized by the fashion industry and the film industry at the same time, it is not easy, this movie has been crowned with the reputation of "workplace survival rules" and "fashion bible", although it did not win a weekly championship, it was suppressed by "Superman Returns" for two consecutive weeks, and the second week Superman Returns was only one million more than it, which made many people feel funny, this investment is N times more than its blockbuster, just one million more than it, which is shameful enough.

And this also proves with strong facts that when filming TV performances, the story and actors are the key, not to throw money hard, and to burn special effects to stabilize the box office, and to tell film schools and film critics not to look down on commercial blockbusters, this commercial blockbuster is not something that can be made by any person.

At the same time, he also told Wall Street that Hollywood is extremely risky, with large investment, slow returns, and high risks, don't run here if you have nothing to do.

This is the most competitive and bloody summer file, there will be new blockbusters every week, blockbusters will be released, thousands of sails will pass by the side of the sinking boat, no one will stop and wait for you, even if it is an A-level blockbuster, if you are not sure that there is only one week, it will make your huge investment into a fortune.

Because Warner did not make a guaranteed profit this year "Harry Potter", it was originally set as a small year at the box office, they hoped that the "Poseidon" and the rebooted "Superman Returns" would make them some money, but the failure of these two blockbusters announced that they could not complete the task this year, although there are still more than a dozen movies unreleased, they all know that it is difficult to do anything more when the main force is exhausted.

In this case, they have accelerated the preparation of the popular IPs "The Dark Knight" and "The Hangover 2".

The protagonists of "The Hangover 2" have been vacated and the funds are complete, they are looking for a director, they want Mark to continue directing, "The Hangover 2" MM has half of the investment rights and related copyrights, but Warner is now in a hurry, a bit of a noise.

Starting this project is beneficial to everyone, but Mark has to give up directing because of the conflict in the schedule, and Mark has three projects in his hands, including "The Dark Knight" that Warner has high hopes for.

This time, Mark made a decision that made Warner extremely excited, if the box office of "The Dark Knight" Beimi was lower than the 250 million in the first part, it would not be divided, this kind of confidence made Warner extremely excited, in this world, only Mark has this kind of pride.

If you ask Warner who is the cutest person, they will definitely answer, of course, Mark, who was not pleasant at all before.
