Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

May is just a warm-up for Hollywood's summer vacation, and June and July are the main battlegrounds for the summer vacation.But Galaxy Films, one of the Hollywood powerhouses, came out on top with "Mission: Impossible 3" and "X-Men: The Last Stand," but Columbia Pictures and Warner Bros. also topped the May box office with their respective films. Good results in the battle.

Even veteran movie studios like Disney and Paramount saw small gains in May.Strangely, though, Sherman Entertainment only had Pinnacle's "Fashion" in June, and at the end of June.In addition, the entire month of June seemed to have nothing to do with Sherman Entertainment Group.But looking at other studios, Universal Pictures has come up with the romantic comedy "Broken Men and Women"; Disney has come up with the animated film "Cars"; Paramount has come up with the funny comedy "Fantastic Priest"; The movie "Life's Remote Control"; even Warner Bros. has scheduled a blockbuster "Superman Returns" to snipe in the same week as "The Devil's Devil".

No one will underestimate Jed Sherman in the golden time of summer. Although his movies may not be the first in the total box office of the year, his movies must be the top three in the total box office.To be able to maintain this level for a long time, to switch to any film company's precious director, but he is the chairman of Sherman Entertainment Group, so naturally no one would be foolish to poach his corner.Although this "Fashion Devil" is a collaboration with Summit Films, and Summit Films' production is naturally not as Shanghai-style as Galaxy Films, but who can guarantee that Jed will not use limited money to make a film that can make other film companies three times? What about movies that are hard to come by every year?

Although Jed and the city of New York have always been at odds, as an international fashion capital, Jed still arranged the premiere of "The Devil's Fashion" at the AMC Metropolitan Theater in New York.In order to cope with the premiere of his boss's movie, the Metropolitan Cinema naturally gave up the best and largest screening hall, and the three consecutive shows of "The Devil's Fashion" were scheduled until two o'clock in the morning.And other screening halls also gave all the golden eight o'clock slots to "The Devil's Fashion".

In order to highlight the urban fashion atmosphere of the movie, the entire Metropolitan Cinema was decorated in an urban fashion style.The red carpet at the entrance is naturally prepared for the social celebrities and celebrities from all walks of life who come to the flagship screening hall to watch the film premiere today. Of course, film critics and stars of all colors are also indispensable.Therefore, the entrance of the Metropolitan Cinema has been blocked by reporters and fans, and even the New York police had to come forward to help maintain the situation.In order to create momentum for his film, Jade not only invited socialites, entertainment celebrities and sports stars to help out, but also invited many fashion designers based in New York.The appearance of a group of Asian designers such as Jimmy Choo, Verawang Wang, Annasui Xiao and Vivienam Tan surprised many entertainment journalists. Perhaps they inherited the traditional Chinese character. Although a group of Asian fashion designers have a high status in their respective fields, they rarely appear in public.Everyone appeared on the stage today, which surprised many reporters who were only here to intercept Anna Winter.

And Anna Wintel did not disappoint the reporter, and rushed to the cinema 10 minutes before the movie opened.As she promised, in addition to her iconic bob and big sunglasses, the full set of Prada made many reporters lament that they have news to write tomorrow.Anna immediately hugged Jed, who came to greet her, and used her actions to smash the news about the betrayal of former friends.And also rarely accepted interviews with reporters, returning to questions about the film. "If this movie had been made by other directors, I don't think I would have any interest. But Jed assured me that it is a good movie, and he doesn't demean the fashion industry in the movie, so I take his word for it. And come see this movie. If I had to rate it, it would be tomorrow!"

The lights in the flagship screening hall of AMC Metropolitan Theater gradually dimmed at eight o'clock. Apart from the main creators, leading actors and other crew members, the audience here are stars from the entertainment, fashion and sports circles. Film critics in New York, and of course a small number of tickets were given away to lucky viewers.Although American films have always been known for their "commercialization", film critics in the East obviously pay more attention to the artistry of films. For example, film critics in New York pay attention to avant-garde, while film critics in Philadelphia pay more attention to humanism.

What surprised Jed was that there are actually two film critic associations in New York, which is rare in a country like the United States where the associations are casual, and both of these film critic associations have been recognized by the Federation of American Film Critics Associations .One is called the New York City Film Critics Association, which belongs to the traditional academic film critics association and prefers art films; while the other is called the New York City Internet Film Critics Association. They are anti-academic, but they also love art films. But they are more pursuing the avant-garde of the film.

For example, Liu Zhenwei's "East and West" will definitely be bombarded by the New York Film Critics Association, but Wong Kar-wai's "Evil and West Poison" will definitely become the favorite of the New York Film Critics Association.Although the plot of "Evil and Poison" is relatively fragmented, there is still a plot to speak of, but even such a movie is considered a "kitsch" commercial movie by the New York Internet Film Critics Association. The kind of work that should have gone straight to New York's Museum of Motion Picture Arts as soon as it came out.This kind of work will never be shown in public for life, because no one can understand it except for these film critics.

The film opens with a very light-hearted soundtrack, and Anne Hathaway plays Andrea, an ordinary college graduate who comes to New York looking for opportunities.The camera cuts constantly, one side shows the post-waking action of the cosmopolitan chic girl, and the other side shows Andrea in action.These comparative shots did not arouse controversy. Urban girls naturally have the rules of survival of urban girls.But when Andrea decided to go to "Flyover" to try her chance, many people thought that Andrea was a bit rash.After all, why bother interviewing for fashion magazines if you don't love fashion?

When Andrea got the chance to try out, many viewers were still happy for her.Even though she wasn't right for the job and the job wasn't right for her, finding a good job in New York City was cause for celebration in itself.The previous version of "The Devil's Fashion" was actually very successful. Miranda gave people a harsh and indifferent impression, but everyone had to recognize her professionalism.In particular, when she criticized Andrea for being unprofessional, she directly commented on the history of fashion and fashion at her fingertips, which directly shocked the audience, and Anna, who was also in the audience, also showed a knowing smile.Anna can allow others to criticize her attitude, but she absolutely does not allow others to criticize her profession.As a person in charge of the future direction of the fashion empire, too much sensibility will only put him in danger. Only by abandoning his sensibility can he better discover fashion trends.

What is different from previous life movies is that Jed has increased the content of the workplace, but reduced the content of love, and even Andrea's boyfriend has hardly appeared.The conflict between love and career turned into a conflict between family and career. Andrea, who cared about her family, gradually neglected her family because of her busy work and Miranda's demands.In the workplace, the conflict between the staff who are friendly to Andrea and the high-heeled ladies has become a "laughing fruit" used by Jed to adjust the plot of the movie.After all, this is a commercial movie that entertains the public. Jed presents the originally tragic workplace conflicts with comedic pranks, which can be regarded as ensuring that the movie rating will not be too ugly.

The climax of the film is naturally Paris Fashion Week. In order to defeat her opponent, Miranda must ensure that her "trip to Paris" is perfect.Whether it is your own editorial team or your own assistants, they must be the most perfect.And Andrea became Miranda's final choice because of her intelligence, studiousness and strong adaptability. When the audience was happy for Andrea, they also felt sad for Emily.Emily is set to be Andrea's opponent in the movie, but the audience can't hate Emily who loves work and works hard.When Miranda finally made her choice and asked Andrea to inform Emily, many in the audience sighed.

Originally, the audience thought that Emily would definitely have a conflict with Andrea, but Emily was very calm after listening to it, and she said lightly: "This is really her style. But Andrea, soon you will also will be like me."

Instead of portraying Emily as a jealous, gluttonous and vain girl like the original version, Jade positioned her as a girl who loves fashion work and hopes to eventually become an official editor through her own hard work.She may be jealous, but she's definitely not a bad person.Especially in this rivalry scene, after the trip to Paris, the goal she had been striving for for a whole year and the first step of her dream, was shattered, she was not angry because she knew Miranda too well.She even understood Miranda's purpose for asking Andrea to inform her, but she just turned around and left indifferently.There are already many girls applauding Emily's beautiful turn from the bottom of their hearts, and they are also happy for Andrea, perhaps she is about to succeed.

The trip to Paris is naturally the place where the conflict of the storyline is the most intense. Andrea faces family and career choices. Because her mother suddenly falls ill, Andrea suffers from the blame for loving her sister.Reminded by her sister, Andrea found that she seemed to have neglected her family because of work, but how successful her career was helped by the trip to Paris made her embark on the trip to Paris without hesitation after arguing with her sister. journey.At the same time, Miranda had to face the challenge of the biggest opponent of his career.Although Miranda has an impeccable grasp of fashion, her waste and arrogance have displeased the publishers behind her.In response to Miranda, the publisher dug out a new editor-in-chief from Paris to replace Miranda, and Paris Fashion Week will become the final showdown time between the two.

The story has developed to this point, and no one is going to recall what the original book is about.Obviously, under Jed's adaptation, "The Devil Wears Prada" is far better than "The Devil Wears Prada" in terms of conception and plot.As Jed himself said, "(The movie) will eliminate the hostility of the original work, and show more the attitudes and choices of different women in the workplace."

Because of different attitudes and choices, the story is full of drama, and this work, which was originally considered a kitsch commercial film, suddenly has a bit of torture for life.
