The fashionable workplace chick movie ten years ago still has many merits. It is an hour and forty-five minutes, with a fast-paced and constantly advancing plot, and several character settings and plot handling are not conventional.

Subtitles title, several very eye-catching opening scenes, sexy, eye-catching, and the heroine Andrea Sanchez shows her out of place in these beautiful women, not taking a taxi but crowding the subway, no makeup Meifu is a warm coat wrapped from head to toe, and bought a pancake fruit by the way.

What a frankincense picture

The first impression of the interview at the "Runway" magazine was very bad. Through a conversation with the chief assistant of my colleague No. 1, we learned that the heroine knows nothing about fashion, and her leader Miranda is a powerful person in the circle.

At this time, everyone held their breaths for this important role to appear. Meryl Streep's rhythm had nothing to say, and after explaining the lines clearly and casually without panting, the chief assistant changed the teasing in front of the heroine just now, and was instantly shocked into a chick. .

The heroine and Miranda met for the first time, and Miranda had no interest in her resume. The heroine realized that her efforts were useless, and said what she said in her heart: Although I don't know fashion, I am very smart. It was this sentence that got Miranda interested in her, giving a push shot.

contempt of the king

The heroine walked out of the building, only to learn that she had been hired.

Complaining to friends and boyfriends at restaurants, and clarifying my attitude, I only entered this company to pay the rent. On the first day of work, she was caught off guard and was completely out of shape. Colleague No. 2, a good friend, went online to assist. She once again expressed her attitude that she would not change herself for this job, and she would not wear high heels or go on a diet.

Don't give it away for nothing

At the selection meeting, in the face of the heroine's ignorance, Miranda used a classic speech to crush the heroine: "You thought you chose this color to help you stay away from the fashion world, but the fact is that people in this room help You chose this sweater." I think this line is the most classic in the whole film, pointing out the essence of the film , fashion is not as superficial as you think, and it is not far from the crowd. At this time, Miranda had a huge aura, as if standing on Mount Everest to literate ignorant humans. The heroine returned to her seat and quickly put on the high heels sent by her good friend, but she did not fully accept this change in her heart and returned home. Complain to your boyfriend.

At the end of the first act, the important characters have appeared. We have a smart and cute heroine who doesn't understand fashion. Although she is very capable in the field of reporters, she is a fool and sweet in the face of the strength of the devil.

The opponent is Miranda, the cruel queen, and they will continue to love and kill each other in the next plot.

There are two allies, colleague No. 1 and chief assistant, who seems to be the opponent of the heroine, but is actually a witness to the change of the heroine. Colleague No. 2, a good friend, has repeatedly extended a helping hand.

The partners, a man and a woman, are not a couple (because this is not a romance movie, and there is no need for love correspondence.) There is also a handsome boyfriend.

The second act begins with fast-paced editing. Facing Miranda's work order, the heroine is obviously unable to resist, and finally has dinner with her father on the weekend. At this time, the family expresses their concerns about the heroine's work. Picture what. The heroine once again stated that this was just a springboard, and then received a series of deadly calls from the leader. The leader's mission to fly from Miami to New York failed. The heroine was severely scolded, and her proud ingenuity was questioned. The Lord collapsed and cried and found a good friend to have a heart-to-heart talk. (According to the Mary Sue route, the domineering president should suddenly appear at this time, and beat up the little bitches to vent the heroine.) The good friend is not polite, and scolded the heroine again, pointing out her problems, there is no such thing at all. Really work hard, just complain.

The heroine is determined to change, and she makes her debut, blinding her colleagues and boyfriends.

assistants do most of the comedy

The first paragraph in the second act ends.

Not only does the heroine change in appearance, she shares gifts with friends and takes pride in her work. When they mess up, the heroine's relationship with her friends cools. Entering the bar after receiving a task also symbolizes entering the social circle, meeting a long-awaited writer, and the heroine has a new social circle.

Continue to portray Miranda's domineering and domineering, and the heroine's work is getting better and better. Miranda asks her to deliver magazines at home. The heroine thinks that her work is recognized, but she bumps into Miranda and quarrels with her husband, and is made difficult the next day. , received an impossible task, and the chief assistant once again emphasized how important it is for him to go to Paris. Just when the heroine told her boyfriend that she was going to resign, the writer saved her life again. The sense of accomplishment from completing the work made the heroine not give up, but the boyfriend expressed his hope that she would be the same as before.

Whenever things develop according to common sense, new situations will bring conflicts, and this conflict is constantly developing and escalating. The external conflict is the struggle between the heroine and Miranda, and the internal conflict is the unchanging simplicity of the heroine. The original intention and the self that has been gradually assimilated by the sensual fashion industry.

The second paragraph of the second act ends.

The work of the heroine is back on track again, and good friends bring wisdom. The chief assistant suddenly caught a cold, and the heroine was forced to miss her boyfriend's birthday, but she made a successful appearance at the party and won the favor of the chief assistant. The relationship between the two improved, and the writer also made an invitation. , life is getting worse.

I really want to have such a blue-eyed confidant

At this point she is faced with a very contradictory choice. Miranda wants her to tell the chief assistant to go to Paris and is replaced by herself. When work ceases to be a difficult problem, the interrogation based on inner morality begins to emerge. The chief assistant suffered a car accident, and the relationship with the heroine was finally eased up. Later, at the friend's exhibition, he broke up with his friend and his boyfriend in turn.

The third paragraph of the second act ends and the third act begins.

The heroine followed Milan to Paris. After her work was on the rise, she learned that Miranda was divorced. She saw that the devil was still working hard even in this situation, completely changed her position, and stood on the same front with Miranda. Jiyou's job transfer, happy for him.

The devil's head shows a vulnerable side

And the heroine completely bid farewell to her past self by brushing mascara

When the writer teased Miranda, the heroine began to take the initiative to defend her, and tried every means to tell Miranda about the transfer of her position. This should be the climax of the third act . Miranda sold a good friend to protect herself, and the heroine knew Miranda already knew. The two had a final battle in the car.

The values ​​that the heroine had just established collapsed, and she could not abandon her friends and partners just like Miranda in order to gain fame and fortune.

The heroine finally saw her heart clearly, completed the character growth, and decided to leave, and threw the phone into the pool.

Finally, some ending accounts, boyfriend, work, colleagues and Miranda. Although the heroine left the magazine, her previous job made her look competent and decent, and it was not for nothing. Miranda gave the heroine an ideal job. The character became three-dimensional and cute. The two met on the road and smiled. Although the devil's smile is very secret, the subplot has a beginning and an end, and the heroine's life has returned to balance.

In addition to the neat script structure, fashionable and bright art costumes, some costumes and scene constructions will not be outdated after ten years, Mei Gu and Anne Hathaway's performances are online, especially Mei Gu, the most impressive thing after watching the whole play is Her sexy white head, Anne Hathaway, I think she is the American version of Zhao Wei. They are all characters with beautiful big eyes and diligent and outstanding students.

This is the bossy president

Let's spit out some of the so-called workplace movies now that Bichi's colleagues and domineering presidents are always at work, and I don't know if they are at work or in the harem. The art is all plastic color matching and Taobao explosion models, I really can't appreciate it.
