The movie itself is a bit of a letdown because it doesn't reveal thoroughly enough. The film is based on a book written by a former magazine reporter who was the prototype for Sidney Young. After a few years in Hollywood, he decided to quit and write a book about his experiences. Fashion magazines are all star dogs and the like, and it is already a well-known insider.
The agent asked a magazine to do an exclusive interview with a certain star under it. The reporter needs to praise the star from various angles and details. The written manuscript must be submitted to the agent for editing and polishing before publication. Not to mention the photos, P over and P, absolutely flawless. This is the entertainment industry, both Chinese and foreign. Of course, these magazines are mainstream magazines that managers look up to, and these reporters are also mainstream reporters that managers look up to. So, if you don't get along well, you won't be able to do these jobs.
"Southern People Weekly" is my favorite magazine recently. There are always some selected advertisements, and the growth experience of a successful person and a brand. The author of these ad anthologies is the same, named "Ruan Dawen". I couldn't help laughing when I saw it, "Stop Ruan Dawen, let's be blunt, let's call it Dawenwen". Of those fashion magazines interviewing celebrities, there are a few that are not soft articles, but they just write for the merchants to get money
, follow the arrangement of the brokers, and get tickets to enter the mainstream circle, or consolidate the status of mainstream reporters in the circle. After the "International Chapter" accident, a columnist jumped out to speak for her, presumably similar to the situation described above.
Sidney Young in the film is such a person. When he first joined the famous "sharps" magazine, he refused to write "advance articles", but after witnessing the hot and cold world in Hollywood, he gave up his original values and became a celebrity. A popular journalist who can accompany superstars to award ceremonies. Although he has a mansion, a high-end watch, and hugs him from side to side, he still feels betrayed by everyone. Of course, if the name of the movie is used, he feels that he has lost and alienated his true friends.
Of course it's a movie, people who go astray can figure out what's really right, Sidney Young slams awards shows, and quits Hollywood. But in reality, these journalists, who have become successful people because of their soft articles, are still very happy.
