Chapter 106: Prada released
Although it was suddenly finalized and had a certain disadvantage in the distribution negotiations, with Jenny's popularity, the midnight premiere of "The Devil Wears Prada" still got more than 2,000 theater places, and the proportion of first-day films was not low, and on the evening of February 10, Jon and her friends also came to the studio near the university early, and took a place at the end of the long line, ready to buy tickets for the midnight show of "The Devil Wears Prada". ――Even though it's a Thursday night, and both students and white-collar workers have to go to work tomorrow, you can still hear the voice of "Give me two tickets to Prada" from time to time.
"Hopefully it's a great film." Jon, Harry, and a few die-hard Jennifer fans who live nearby are all talking about "The Devil Wears Prada", and Harry taps on his phone's keyboard and complains with some anxiety, "Until now, Rotten Tomatoes has not been rated, and no reviews have come out. ”
"It's only been long since the premiere began, right?" Jon understood, "Although the publicity is hot, this film is set in a hurry, God knows what this is, isn't it good to put it in the summer file?" - Well, counting the time difference, the premiere may not have officially started yet, and this time the critics are going to be annoyed that they have lost their privilege to see the movie at the same time as us the audience! ”
"I hope this isn't Jennifer's first bad movie," said Lynn, a young white-collar worker who came to watch the film with them in the online community, worriedly, "Fox didn't dare to put this film in the summer file, indicating that there is a lack of confidence in it, and I saw an article in the community that said that the reason why the schedule was advanced to the present, not set in the summer file, is because Fox wants to take advantage of Jennifer's current high attention and popularity - you know, not long ago, the magazine dug up the news that she and Josh are engaged." The filmmakers hope to take advantage of this trend to call audiences into the cinema, rather than waiting until Jenny and Josh to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean" and reduce the exposure before releasing it in June. ”
This statement also makes sense, but it also shows that the filmmakers are not optimistic that "The Devil Wears Prada" will gain a foothold in the summer - in fact, Jon is also skeptical after reading the original novel, not because she doesn't like the novel, but because she ...... Well, if it weren't for Jennifer to act, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to finish watching. She wasn't interested in how a social freshman could be tortured by a female demon in a fashion conglomerate in the base camp of evil, yes, fashion may have its perverted side, isn't it clear to her? But whether it is high school or college, the whole social atmosphere is 'you fashion, you are cool, you have status', can recognizing the ugliness of fashion and the superficiality of chasing fashion change the general environment? No, then, isn't reading this book unpleasant for yourself?
Even if he likes Jennifer very much, almost to the point of being unprincipled, but a movie is a movie, and if the story itself is too boring or unpleasant, Jon won't be satisfied just by looking at Jennifer. She didn't like Jennifer's development path that much - why couldn't she do more films like "The Notebook", first the unappetizing "Prada", and then announced that she was going to take over the very esoteric and obscure (at least for Jon) "The Fifth Sally", and if this continues, her popularity and box office appeal may fall! What she wants to see is that Jennifer has won the Teen Choice Award and MTV Award in a row, and every new film can be overwhelming, conquering movie theaters, and then winning the Oscar with a giant production like "Cold Mountain" when the time comes, instead of acting in some unpopular and obscure literary films from now on, except in a limited number of small movie theaters, it is difficult to see her poster.
Except for some people who like both the original book and Jennifer, Jennifer's fans are a little worried about the movie, and many even called on the forum for everyone to go to the midnight show to support Jennifer's box office, if it weren't for the cold winter in New York, Jon would have almost brought his parents with him - after the Oprah show and "The Love Notebook", her parents have also become Jennifer fans. But she's made up her mind that even if the film is ugly, she's going to show her parents on Sunday to do her best for Jennifer — though it's a bit odd.
"I've got a ticket." Harry turned around and said, "We'd better get in line early, I see there's already a queue at the door......"
Just as fans began to wait in line for a good seat, film critics and fashion people from all over the country were already seated in the premiere room, but the audience for this premiere was so different from what it used to be, that there was no place left for fans in the theater - Anna. Wintour was dressed in Prada, brought his new assistant and of course Lauren dressed very bohemian. Weisberger, in addition, the big and small brands that have sponsored the filming of this film have high-level attendance, Jenny and other main creative staff are inevitably enthusiastic to socialize: compared with the low expectations of film critics, people in the fashion industry are very concerned about this film, after all, if it achieves a good box office, then this sponsorship can be described as a million profits, and it will also be a very successful cross-industry cooperation attempt after "Breakfast at Tiffany's", even if the film is not very good at the box office, as long as Jennifer is beautiful enough in it, That can also go back to basics - even if you take 10,000 steps back and say that Jennifer is messed up in the style, but this drama is about Anna. Wintour's*, her jokes aren't that easy to watch, and the movie would at least be a good entertainment, wouldn't it?
More than one person peeked at Anna. Wintour and Lauren. Wisberger, even critics can't help but look at her a few more times, but their expectations for "The Devil Wears Prada" are not too high, mainly because there are very few successful films of the same genre on the market, and most people think that the original book is not of high quality, like Jon.
Roger. Albert, as a male film critic, is naturally not interested in fashion, and he agrees with the views in that book, but he doesn't think that this kind of common-sense discourse is worth a book. Wintour, though a celebrity, could not arouse the slightest interest in him. If it weren't for the fact that he happened to be coming to Los Angeles for a recuperation vacation, for Jennifer. Jefferson has another obsessive interest that he doesn't want to admit, and he may not even attend the premiere, but will only buy his own tickets in Chicago.
"I guess we'll continue to use new ways of acting." While in the shadows, Roger thought, "But the image of Andy in the original book is blurred, how can she draw the essence from the original book?" ”
According to the convention, the producer's LOGO will be played in front of the title, and the order is from large to small according to the importance of investment production, after the 20th century Fox LOGO, there is a Fox 2000LOGO that specializes in the production of biopics within the Fox Group - insiders can see at a glance that the status of this film in the Fox Group is not too high, and then a fresh LOGO animation, in the dark, a little starry light up, a hazy figure of a mother holding a baby reflected in the starry sky, With the sound of a blister breaking, the illusion vanished, and the name of the film company appeared under the starry sky: Big Dream Film Company.
Although he had a disapproving attitude towards "The Oprah Show", Roger couldn't help but think of what J.J. said on the show at the time, and he moved uncomfortably in his seat a few times, watching the appearance and disappearance of Wendy Fenneman's studio logo, "Finally, this title is a bit long. ”
After all the LOGOS were shown, the screen went black, but it quickly lit up again, one hand wiped away the hazy mist on the mirror, and a gloomy face appeared in the mirror. Andrea, played by Jefferson, examined the pimples on her face in the mirror, and then opened her mouth to start brushing her teeth, she obviously had something on her mind, and she frowned lightly while brushing her teeth, and couldn't help but gently grope for the pimples on her face, touched it, and showed a painful expression.
There was a soft sound of surprise in the cinema, whether it was the guests at the premiere or the East Coast audience who had already sat in the cinema at this time, they didn't expect that Jennifer, who was a young girl and a beautiful woman when she debuted, would actually use such a ...... Such a tragic way appeared on the big screen.
"It doesn't look like her at all!" Jon grabbed Harry's hand in surprise, "Is this special effects makeup?" She looks-she looks-"
Yes, Jennifer looks ...... Not at all like that Jennifer, though not Charlize. Theron went overboard in "The Witch," but she still looked ...... It's not ugly, but it's terrifyingly ordinary.
Before the audience has recovered from the shock, the picture has been switched away from Andy, accompanied by the prelude, the director gives a panoramic view of New York, and then takes it to the landscape apartment on the edge of Central Park, where one after another fashionable ladies are choosing their outfits in the high-end and luxurious living environment, and the seductive items inadvertently skim the camera, attracting the attention of most female viewers at once: Victoria's Secret lingerie, Gucci tops, Chanel shoes, Balenciaga bags, Armani perfumes...... The first-tier and second-tier brands are dazzling, and many viewers who are very interested in fashion are so excited that they can't wait to buy a DVD and watch it again, for them, this beginning simply makes them fascinated.
But in the eyes of film critics, fashion brands don't have much meaning, what they see is the shooting technique and meaning - when the camera is on the fashion side, soft light and warm light are used, everything looks orderly, delicate and expensive, and the makeup and hairstyles of the ladies are also impeccable, but when the camera is brought to Andy, it uses natural light, and even the light source is a little cold, and Andy, who is completely without makeup (at least in the judgment of film critics), looks sloppy and bloated, and there are many small flaws on his face that cannot be ignored, For example, her freckles and pimples, which make Andy so rough that people can't bear to witness, but they are so real that they are completely close to the real life of the audience.
Although in all fairness, even Andy, who is so without makeup, is a beauty, and if you look closely, you can still see Jennifer's outline, but compared with those well-groomed beauties, she can't look at it, and Andy is indeed an ugly duckling after dressing up, she has long dirty blonde hair, her face looks a little big, and she is wearing a bulging coat, her hair is casually tied behind her ears, and there is obviously a trace of concealer on her face, but even so, she still hasn't covered the acne scars, just like that, she kisses her lover goodbye, I bought breakfast in a street bakery, then walked to the subway and came to the editorial office of Tianqiao. The previous staggered images merge here, with the photogenic beauties smiling into the flow of people in the Skybridge building, while Andy observes his surroundings and enters the building's office area out of place.
The pace of the movie is very fast, although no dialogue has been formed for a few minutes now, but the basic information has been explained a lot, there are no long and meaningless empty shots and clumsy shooting techniques, but through this set of contrasting and blending pictures, the tone of the whole film and the treatment that Andy is about to face in "Flyover", some easy-to-substitute audiences are already embarrassed by Andy, but film critics have keenly felt the difference between Andy's character and the original book - Andy's expression has always been slightly sad, This is very suitable for the situation where Andy in the original book is facing a job search dilemma at the beginning of the story, but unlike the ignorant and youthful image of Andy in the original book, Jennifer. Andy, played by Jefferson, has always had a fierce ruthlessness on his expression, although it is very light, but it is very tense, even in the face of the glamorous men and women of the "Flyover" building, she did not show a panicked or ashamed expression, but she thoughtfully observed the costumes of these passers-by, and checked the interview materials in her hand, although she has not said a word until now, although she is in these pleasing fashion men and women, Andy still naturally attracts the eyes of the audience, And through the limited appearance time in the staggered shots, the audience has a preliminary impression of her character.
"There is no doubt that this girl has used a completely different method of acting." Roger was no longer surprised, and even gave up thinking about this strange phenomenon, but it wasn't that Jennifer didn't surprise him this time, "However, this time it's different from her previous two movie roles, how to say it, this time she seems to let me see the Lockhee of "Chicago" again, not that there is any similarity in acting, but ...... It's that the degree of eye-catching is comparable, and she seems to have hidden explosive power all over her body, making it difficult to take your eyes off her. ”
Jon also noticed this, although she had a feeling that she didn't dare to look at the current J.J - as if one more look, the idol would be broken, but for some reason, she seemed to be obsessed, focusing her eyes on Andy's face, observing her every expression intently, she couldn't say why, just ...... It's just that Andy is so eye-catching, she is like a dormant volcano, although it seems to be inconspicuous, but it contains endless power, people can't help but be attracted to her.
'Ding', Andy came to the editorial office of "Flyover", when she walked out of the elevator, the fashionable men and women coming and going in the elevator shaft looked at it in surprise, their expressions were very elegant, even the surprised expressions were carefully groomed, with a special sense of pretentiousness, Andy was constantly looked at in surprise in the process of walking through the elevator shaft, the corners of her lips were slowly pursed, and then she pulled the hem of her clothes, raised her head confidently, and made a look of not caring.
Although there is no dialogue in the whole film so far, Andy's image has been clearly established, and many housewives who are not usually chasing fashion also clenched their fists excitedly and whispered, "Yes, yougogirl!" ”
"Hey, I have an appointment to meet—" Andy glared at the front desk lady in displeasure, who was looking at her clothes in disbelief. "Emily. Charlton. ”
"Andrea. Sykes? With a question, Emily, who was red-haired, tall, fashionably dressed, painted with smoky makeup, and had a cold and arrogant expression. Charlton immediately stole a lot of eyeballs. Just the way she stands and her expression have already shaped most of the characters, and most of the audience have an impression of her character when they see her expression at a glance: she must be a very tricky and eccentric Bitch-type character, and she is definitely the type to find fault with you in the workplace.
“Yes?” Emily's tone was so hesitant and incredulous that it completely annoyed Andy, and she narrowed her eyes and took a step forward without fear, answering her briefly and forcefully.
The eyes of the two women collided in the air for a moment, the air seemed to be full of sparks, Emily was first frightened by Andy's momentum, but then she didn't give in, but deliberately broke down and complained, "Very good, it seems that the human resources department really has a weird sense of humor - follow me." ”
Interesting - due to the limitation of the subject matter, the audience who came to see the midnight show was mostly women - the high-confrontation sports that men like are boxing, fighting and other fist-to-flesh confrontations between the same sex, and as long as it is a woman who is out of childhood, few people are not interested in the bloodless dark war between women and women, it is difficult to say which aesthetic is more advanced, but at least the current plot progress has made the audience feel strongly interested, fast-paced, meaningful shots and acting skills that can show interpersonal relationships without too many words, There are also those eye-catching, expensive, and drunken luxuries, all of which make them feel like their blood is boiling, although it is already midnight, they are all in the spirits, sit up straight, and even speed up their breathing: this movie makes people feel very cool!
"Where did this acting school come from?" Roger. Albert, Alain. Morrison, Kenneth. Turan and these film critics were surprised by another point - as the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, and the short rivalry just now just made the audience feel refreshed and cool, but for the film critics, what they saw was the acting skills of two young actresses.
Why do audiences find it cool? Because they feel all kinds of tension and subtext bursting out at the moment when the two look at each other, this easy-to-interpret body language makes the audience feel that their IQ is affirmed, and this satisfaction makes them affirm that the current scene is cool - a little difficult, not everyone can understand it, but I get it, the beauty is almost indescribable - cool! If the performance of the two is introverted and there are fewer people who understand, then those who don't understand will feel that these scenes are inexplicable, and if they are a little more outward, the expression is too exaggerated, which significantly reduces the audience's sense of substitution. Now with such a just right rhythm and performance, the acting skills reflected are no longer at the level that ordinary American sweetheart idol actors can do, and it is not too strange for Jennifer to do this, how to say that she is from a Tony Award, but this little-known Emily. Charlton can keep up with the rhythm without falling behind, and it doesn't make people play at all, which is quite rare.
"It doesn't look like a simple Chick-flick...... "Several critics adjusted their postures, "just the lighting is very special - Chick-flick almost never plays cold light, besides, Meryl. Streep hasn't come out yet......"
While everyone was interested, the two men in the film also made their way through the long hallway of "Flyover" to Meryl's office — and many of the fashionistas who visited Vogue's U.S. headquarters had a knowing smile on their lips: "Flyover's office design is almost identical to that of Vogue."
"OK, so, I was Miranda's second assistant......" Emily walked as she introduced Andy to the specifics of the position, and in the middle of speaking, she suddenly stopped and looked at Andy defiantly, "Do you know who Miranda is?" ”
Andy sighed irritably, "It makes sense to assume that she is the editor-in-chief I applied for for this position. ”
"That editor-in-chief, that's all you know, by common sense?" Emily started walking again, "You obviously don't know the meaning of this position at all, and after a year of doing this, you'll get a pass to any magazine......"
They arrived at Emily's office, and Andy shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Okay, then I'm honored to be considered—"
Emily let out a laugh that could only be described as Bitchy, but quickly feigned an amiable appearance and interrupted her, "Andrea, is there anything else I didn't say clearly enough?" It's a very important position, "Flyover" is a fashion magazine, and whether we can be enthusiastic about fashion is very important for us. ”
She stared at Andy with a 'you should know you're not fashion-savvy'. - At this time, many viewers have begun to hate aggressiveness, and the makeup is too avant-garde, so Emily is not pretty.
A muscle on Andy's face twitched, and she took a step forward, "So, you can see from the first glance that I have no taste for fashion, but what made you not let me go back at the front desk, but brought me here to reject me?" Miss 'Fashion', how much humiliating me is a good physical and mental relaxation for you? Is this your favorite game in the fashion world? Gather around with a smile like this—"
She imitated the expressions of Emily and the passers-by just now, and showed a look of disdain for Emily, "-Is it your hobby to judge passers-by?" ”
"Cool!" Compared with Jennifer's avid teenage fans, more mother-level fans - almost all of whom have been fans since "The Oprah Show" These viewers have invested in Andy's role very quickly, after all, for them, Andy's state is almost exactly the same as them, these mothers don't think Andy has anything to be ashamed of, not everyone in this world can have money and leisure to dress up beautifully!
Seeing Emily shrink in response to Andy's words, they felt even more comfortable, "What a beautiful riposte!" ”
"Or is it because—" As Emily blinked her eyes frantically for a moment, apparently thinking of countering the vocabulary and was about to speak, Andy rushed to say again, "You're not the one who can decide if I'm fit for the job?" ”
Emily's nose twitched a few times, and she lifted her head, rolling her eyes away from making eye contact with Andy. Andy shows a triumphant smile, the camera zooms out a little farther, two women look at each other in front of two desks outside the office door, one leans against the desk, the other holds hands, the body language of both is very not to be outdone, and the picture presents a certain harmony in the opposite.
"This Andy adaptation is very big!" Roger really lifted his spirits this time, and the passion that he ignited every time he saw a great film flowed through his limbs, "Interesting, much sharper than the character of the original book, and more determined." There is no doubt that she represents anti-fashion, and her conversation is presented in the original book...... Well, the level that an Ivy League student should have, she passed the HR preliminary exam as a matter of course, isn't it? This is much more convincing than the original. ”
In order to better watch the film, he forced himself to read the original novel hastily, and there were many slots in the first ten pages alone, so Roger's love for the movie version was a bit rebellious and rebounding, how much he didn't like the original novel, and how surprised he was with the movie version now.
In the first confrontation between the two, although Andy has a rustic appearance, he has the upper hand, and Emily is obviously still thinking about a trick to turn the tables, but the sudden ringing of the mobile phone disrupts her pace. Next is a chaotic scene, Nigel also took this opportunity to appear for the first time, the chaos in the editorial department, the same is a montage that crosses with Miranda who stepped out of the car, although she has not yet appeared head-on, but Meryl with her gait and outstanding clothing, eye-catching white hair style, and influence on the personnel of "Flyover", has created an extraordinary momentum, and of course, her demanding and critical personality has also left a deep mark in the hearts of the audience with the reaction of everyone. - This is also a copy of the original book, in which Miranda does not like her employees to share an elevator, and she herself never allows others to share an elevator with her.
After a ding, Meryl's first frontal close-up appeared in everyone's eyes, she took off her sunglasses, looked around the elevator hall in a very queenly style, and then walked out gracefully, just this appearance made many film critics applaud: Obviously, this will be another big breakthrough for Meryl, a role that has really not been found in her many previous films.
"I'm not interested in your incompetence......" After a scene between Miranda and Emily, Queen Bee walked into her office and glanced out the door, "Who is she?" ”
Emily panicked, "Nobody--HR asked her to interview your second assistant, and I was just pre-interviewing her - for you-but this girl has no hope at all, and she doesn't fit in here-"
"Well, it's obvious that I should have chosen it myself, since the two girls you picked didn't meet the requirements at all." Miranda glanced at Emily, giving the previous very strong mini-boss a look of trepidation, "Let her in—that'sall." ”
Although the audience just hated Emily, they still had some sympathy with a smile when they saw her pitifully and hurriedly being 'abused' all the way by Miranda's stormy orders, and now being secretly belittled by her boss for not being able to do so. Emily viciously instructed Andy, 'She'll let you in—Move!' It doesn't sound so annoying.
Before entering the office, Andy and Emily have a small wrestling with her, knocking and punching to save her handbag - Emily thinks it's too cheesy to even be seen by Miranda. This scene completely adjusted the atmosphere of the theater, although it took a short time, many audience members laughed and leaned back, briefly loosening the tightly tensed strings, but as Andy stood in front of Miranda with a nonchalant face, their hearts were hung up again - it was obvious that Andy didn't want this job anymore, she and Randa would definitely have a conflict, and from the current aura and social status comparison, Andy was estimated to be the one who lost.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Andrea. Sykes, I'm here to apply for your assistant. ”
"Hmph."
"If you can deign to glance at my resume, you'll see that I'm a graduate of Northwestern University, I've got an offer from Stanford Law School, but I'd rather be a journalist. Obviously, Skybridge's HR department thought my resume was good enough for the job of calling you and pouring coffee. ”
A few short lines of dialogue, combined with the expressions and movements of the characters, vividly show the change in Miranda's perception of Andrea, at first the clown-like interest, then the loss of interest in reading the newspaper, but was aroused by Andy's tough posture, and Andy's emotions are gradually accumulated impatience and unhappiness, making people feel that the volcano is about to erupt, although both lighting and camera movement are very stable, but the tension between the characters is so thick that people can't breathe.
"But you've never seen Flyover?" Miranda said, in a steady tone. "And you have no taste in fashion."
"Yes." Andy changed his posture, "If you don't think you can be your assistant if you're not a flyover reader, then I suggest you ask HR to add this to interview question 101 so we don't have to waste each other's time." ”
What an arrogant interviewer! The scales in the audience's minds are swinging between Andy and Miranda, and now many people have begun to support Randa - anyway, this is a job interview, and it's a bit rude to be too aggressive with your boss. After all, Andy has just graduated, and he is still a little too young and rough, which feels like a little bit of it.
She managed to get Miranda's attention, her fingers running over her chin, "This is the first magazine you've been interviewing for?" ”
"The first one." Andy defensively clenched the handle of the bag and added, "This is only my first ...... 10th CV. ”
"Keep it up," Miranda said calmly, "and you'll find someone willing to ask for your magazine." ”
She waved her hand and absentmindedly motioned for Andy to leave the office.
Andy took a deep breath and turned around and walked a few steps, although the camera had already caught Emily with a smug and Bitchy smile at this time, but the audience found that Andy's tense shoulders were more worthy of their attention - for some reason, Jennifer, who looked so mediocre, was more eye-catching than she was in any movie, and one of her movements seemed to have a great impact on the scene, making it impossible to take your eyes off it.
"You know what?" After taking a few steps, Andy's shoulders suddenly loosened, and she turned to Miranda and smiled - this is also Andy's first positive expression in the whole film, although she is still mediocre, but this smile makes everyone realize that she is actually very beautiful. "You're right, I'm not the right fit for the job, but you know what? Miranda? I'm the editor-in-chief of the Northwest Daily News, I've won the National College Journalist Contest, I've published articles in The New Yorker, I've got my value, I'm smart, I'm diligent, my degree and my resume are a testament to my abilities, and your precious magazine -- maybe it's not so perfect, it's clear that there's a serious lack of communication between you and your human resources department, otherwise we'd not be here to upset each other -- you know? It's not for me, I'm here to be a great journalist, to make phone calls, to help the editor-in-chief manage the magazine, to learn the way the journal works, not to accept you and your editors—"
She spoke quickly, and then again vividly imitated Miranda's expression, which provoked bursts of laughter in the cinema, "--Interpretation and criticism of my private tastes, so, good luck, I think you will find a second assistant with perfect fashion taste and at the same time a full A scholarship-"
As she spoke, Nigel passed by and said, "Found these shapes—"
But Andy continued unaffected, and his voice was amplified to drown out Nigel, "—as long as she can stand your temper, your first assistant's temper, and that horribly low salary." ”
She turned, looked up and took a victorious glance at the stunned, hell-like Emily, and strode out of the camera.
The camera pans to Miranda, where Nigel is still talking, but Miranda just seems to be listening, she looks at Andy's back thoughtfully, and after a while she comes back to her senses and listens to Nigel's report. - Obviously, Andy's strength made a deep impression on her, and she began to think that this girl was a little special.
Sure enough, when Andy slackened his shoulders and returned the access card to the door in some solitude, Emily stopped her, "Andrea." ”
She raised two fingers with black nail polish in a very stylish manner, hooked Andy, rolled her eyes again, made a helpless expression, turned and walked out of the camera, Andy also raised her eyebrows, showed a surprised expression, and followed Emily hesitantly......
To the upbeat music, Andy and her friends start their own dinner, where they congratulate her on finding her new job, and Andy explains that he accepted the job because of the popularity of "Flyover": "Emily, the first assistant, explained to me the status of "Flyover" and that if I could get this letter of recommendation, I would be able to get into The New Yorker. ”
"But I thought she didn't like you." Her boyfriend Nate said.
"She didn't like me, but she was more afraid to explain to Miranda that she didn't stop me." Andy shook his head, "That woman is like Kouira from 101 Loyal Dogs." ”
After complaining to each other for a while, Andy and his boyfriend Nate held hands and walked home sweetly, Andy also showed a lovely smile on his face, and he was no longer so tense and guarded.
"Baby, you really should see what those flyover girls are wearing." She shook Nate's hand and complained, "And what kind of eyes are they looking at me, Sure, no one wouldn't want to look better if possible, but not everybody can-"
Andy shrugged his shoulders and made a strange look in his rough voice, and continued disapprovingly, "Afford Gucci, Prada, CK-"
Nate laughed, "Well, do you know what the boys were thinking when you girls said these brands?" ”
"What?" Although she still has no makeup and a rough appearance, Andy's sweet expression makes the audience think that she is actually very beautiful.
"The boys are thinking, it's not all the same when they take off their clothes." Nell sniffed Andy's nose a little, "Go home, I know there's something we don't need any clothes to do-"
"You're vulgar, Nate." Amid Andy's laughing protests, a young couple ran away. The theater also burst into laughter from both men and women: while Nate's words were a bit vulgar, it was undeniable that most men probably really thought so, and they really didn't understand the difference between Prada and Forever21.
Although the movie has only been progressed for 10 minutes now, the audience has already understood that this movie is a great adaptation of the original book - and it is also very contradictory and wonderful at present, the confrontation between Andy and Emily, the conflict between Andy and Miranda, and even how Andy fits into fashion, this is the focus of their concern, of course, there are also the gorgeous costumes and accessories that the vast majority of the moviegoers value - Emily, Miranda, and even the clothes worn by the girls at the beginning of the film make them crazy, I can't wait to see more.
By the time the audience began to look forward to the following, critics had already seen the core issues discussed in the film, and in their opinion, the extremely informative ten minutes not only gave a preliminary explanation of the main character, background and main line of the story, but also pointed out the theme of the film: exploring the relationship between women and fashion.
Miranda is the master of fashion, Emily is a crazy fan of fashion, they belong to the camp of cherishing and worshiping fashion, her boyfriend Nate is a fashion insulator, as a man, he doesn't value fashion at all, he thinks it's just a woman's madness, which is also a very typical mentality.
And Andy? She is the psychology of the general public, she actually doesn't like fashion, her conversation with her boyfriend has shown this, she just has no money, fashion is unattainable for her, so she also despises it with a vengeance, and at the same time Andy has a strong self-confidence, she doesn't feel that she is not beautiful and fashionable. This complex mentality is interpreted by Jennifer in a meticulous way, and people have begun to look forward to the collision between her and fashion in the future.
"And, of course, the performances of three actresses...... "Alain. Morrison has been completely conquered by the rivalry he has just played, "It's really exciting to witness the birth of a classic, and if the following clips can maintain the quality it is now, 'The Devil Wears Prada' will be an insurmountable peak for women's cinema, and it will expand the genre to a depth that no one has ever touched before, to the core." ”
"It's a murderous movie." Roger's attitude towards fashion is similar to Nate's, so he is not as excited as Alain, but he also has a very high opinion of this paragraph. "Rare fast-paced, high-speed dialogue that succeeds in creating an elite and cool atmosphere that has rarely been done in previous women's films. "Legally Blonde" won a high box office by making the profession shallow, which is actually a contempt for female audiences, but I'm afraid this film is overestimating the female audience again, it ...... Can it achieve a high box office? This film isn't going to be J.J.'s Waterloo, is it? ”
The author has something to say: update
To clarify, I don't have any opinions on the original "Prada", I think it's pretty good, I don't think the adapted version is better than the original, just for the sake of the plot.
