1. Behind Andy’s gorgeous transformation is his recognition of the value of work
"The Devil Wearing Prada" is a movie in 2006, a workplace drama, a fashion drama.
What impressed me was that the heroine Andy turned from a very plain-dressed female college student into a beautiful OL.
Recently, I watched the movie again and found that the implicit meaning behind Andy’s cross-dressing is:
She originally did not agree with the work value of "Skybridge", did her best but didn't follow her heart.
Her goal is to work in Tianqiao for a full year, and with this qualification, she will switch jobs to other magazines as a reporter.
After changing the costume, she fully agreed with the value of "Skybridge" and also agreed with the value of Miranda
I am willing to cooperate wholeheartedly with Miranda's work, and I can always want to be in front of Miranda.
And how did this turning point happen?
2. Nigel's inspiration makes Andy identify with the meaning of fashion
When they first entered "Sky Bridge", the two people bumped into each other's cooperation.
Andy was unhappy, and Miranda was not satisfied with the results of her work.
The breaking point of the contradiction is that on a stormy night, Miranda asks Andy to find a plane and fly back to New York from Chicago.
Andy did not find the plane, and Miranda was very disappointed with Andy the next day.
Afterwards Andy approached Nigel to complain, and Nigel enlightened Andy.
Part1 Andy asked Nigel to cry, Nigel pointed out that she didn’t work hard, just complaining
Andy: She hates me, Nigel
Nigel: It has to do with me because, wait, it has nothing to do with me
Andy: I don't know what else I can do. Even if I do the right thing, she doesn't even say thank you, but if something goes wrong, she is a witch.
Nigel: It's time to resign
Andy: What?
Nigel: Resign
Andy: Resign?
Nigel: I can find someone to replace you in five minutes, someone who really wants this job
Andy: No, I don’t want to resign, it’s not fair
Andy: I just said that I want to win some rewards for my hard work
Nigel: Andy, be realistic, you are not working hard at all, you are complaining.
Andy: I...
Nigel: What do you want me to say to you? Want me to say "It's pathetic, Miranda is bullying you again, poor Andy" right?
Nigel: Wake up, girl number six, she is just doing her job.
Part2 Nigel told Andy that "Skybridge" magazine publishes the works of the world's top designers
Nigel: Do you know? This place where you work is responsible for publishing the works of top artists in the past 100 years, including Houston, Lagerfeld, and De La Renta. Their works, creations, are greater than art.
Nigel: Because you live in art. Of course not including you, but including many people.
Part3 Nigel told Andy that "Skybridge" magazine is of high value, and for many people, it is a beacon of hope
Nigel: You think this is just a magazine, right? This is not just a magazine. This is a beacon of hope, the way to give. . . I have no idea.
Nigel: For example, a boy with six brothers who lives on Rhode Island can only pretend to practice football when he goes to a sewing class, watching "Flyover" with a flashlight under the covers at night. You don't know how many legends there have been here, and what's worse, you don't care at all. Here, more people love this job, and you are forced, and you still complain about why she doesn't kiss your forehead and give your homework a golden five-pointed star every day. Wake up, dear.
Andy: Okay, I messed up. I don’t want to be like this, I just want to know how to do it myself
3. Nigel's conversation inspired Andy's confidence, sense of honor and motivation
Why after talking to Nigel, Andy knew that he had messed up and began to identify with "Skybridge" and Miranda?
Analyzing Nigel's conversation, there are four meanings:
1. Annie, you are not working hard, you are just complaining.
The meaning of this sentence is that you can do very well, and I have expectations of your abilities, which inspires Andy’s confidence;
2. The works published in "Tianqiao" magazine are the works of the world's top designers in the past 100 years.
The meaning of this sentence is that the partners of Skybridge Magazine are of world-class standards, high-end, not ordinary, which inspires Andy's inner sense of honor.
3. "Skybridge" magazine is a beacon of hope for many people and has produced many legends.
The meaning of this sentence is that "Skybridge" magazine is of high value and is needed by many people. Inspiring Andy's inner motivation, she also has to do her part to create value.
Four, summary
The work we do every day is very boring and repetitive.
Sometimes I feel that what I do is very meaningless.
From the conversation between Andy and Nigel, the enlightenment is
What needs to be done is to enlarge the value horizon
Shift your attention away from your own work and focus on the value of the entire company
After seeing and agreeing with the value of the whole, you may be able to see the value of your work more clearly.
Good luck to everyone.
