During the National Day holiday, Netflix released a new drama.
Compared with the previous brain burning, horror, suspense and other elements, this drama is more like a prime time soap opera that was popular many years ago.
Relaxed and cheerful.
Handsome man, beautiful woman, urban workplace.
Can't help but remind people of countless girls' fashion enlightenment dramas "Sex and the City" and "The Queen Wearing Prada".
But after these classic plays, there is no "successor" for works of the same type.
Fortunately, we finally waited for this new work by Darren Star , the gold medal screenwriter of "Sex and the City" .
The teacher went out of the same school, and the addition of "British Sweetheart" Lily Collins also added a lot to this drama, and it was not enough to finish it in one breath.
This drama is--
Emily in Paris
Emily in Paris
Many people are probably the same as me. They made this show because of Lily Collins's appearance and the dazzling number of outfits in the show.
Born into a celebrity family, she has brought her own "Star II" aura since she was a child.
Father is the British rock star Phil Collins , and mother is the former chairman of the Beverly Hills Women's Club.
When she was 2 years old, she had already participated in the BBC series "The Troubles of Growing Up".
When she was a girl, she also appeared in the columns of British magazines many times.
A hit movie "The Blind Side" and a classic fairy tale Snow White image of the "Mirror Mirror", so Lily Collins is known to the public.
Then she starred in several works "Love You, Rosie" and "Les Miserables"...
And "The Last Tycoon", which co-starred with "Peacock" Matt Bomer and inspired by Hollywood movie tycoons, also gained a good reputation.
In 2020, Lily Collins will partner with Netflix to collaborate on the film "Emily in Paris", which focuses on urban women.
Emily is a typical American girl.
Living in Chicago, doing his favorite brand marketing job.
She is cheerful, lively, popular, high emotional intelligence, strong work ability and is highly valued by her boss.
She also has a loving boyfriend who is about to get engaged, and it can be said that Emily's life is going smoothly.
But because the boss who was originally transferred to the Paris branch had an accidental pregnancy, everything she planned was disrupted.
So, the task of dispatching to Paris fell on her, who had never learned a word of French.
Leave your comfort zone, leave your beloved boyfriend.
Going to a strange city alone, and staying there for a full year.
Fortunately, Emily is a girl who is not afraid of challenges, and she readily accepts the company's decision.
Paris is the capital of fashion and romance.
It is a city that countless women yearn for, and Emily is no exception
When she first arrived, she was full of curiosity about everything here.
But after all, life is not tourism. After all that freshness, Emily, who will settle in Paris for a year, gradually realizes that she is not as capable of adapting to life in a foreign country as she expected.
Everything here is unfamiliar to Emily, not used to it.
The number of floors is confusing. When you enter the community, the first floor is the ground floor, and the second floor is the first floor.
A century-old building that has been in disrepair all the year round and has no elevator.
On the street, shit that you will step on if you don't pay attention.
Although living in the nanny room, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window can be regarded as comforting Emily, who is a stranger.
Contrary to the fast-paced lifestyle in the United States, the laziness of the French is carved in their bones.
Go to get off work after 10:30, take a three-hour lunch break, and stop talking about work after work.
And the arrival of Emily was like a fresh foreign element impacting them.
On her first day of formal work, Emily was full of energy.
In order to make a good impression on my colleagues, I dressed up specially.
She came to the company early, and as a result... the company's doors were locked tightly.
It wasn't until two hours later that colleagues came to work one after another, and her boss became more casual, and didn't show up slowly until 11 o'clock.
Emily's boss is a typical French woman, elegant and feminine.
The boss obviously didn't like Emily, and even called her a "soil bun" in French in person.
In her opinion, Emily is a great American silly girl who only bluffs, Struggle X.
Wearing old fashioned clothes and using too much force.
I can't figure out "feminine" or "masculine" with the few words of French I learned.
Talking about work all the time...
From time to time, they will find some "trouble", for example, they will always "instill" the use of new media and social platforms for marketing.
In contrast, this group of them is particularly "not seeking to make progress."
But for this group of French people, work is just for living.
Nothing can stop a Frenchman from enjoying a leisurely time drinking white wine.
The way they "resisted" Emily was to refuse, reject Emily's lunch invitation, one said that he had an appointment, the other said that he never had lunch.
In fact, it's just because they don't want to be friends with Emily, and they don't want to be "invaded" their circle by outsiders.
At work, Emily's opinions are always rejected by colleagues.
I took the initiative to communicate with my colleagues, but they turned their heads and left.
No one supported her, she was isolated and helpless.
She couldn't find anyone to talk to after get off work, and her family and friends were far away in the United States.
Frustrated in the workplace, Emily's only consolation now is her boyfriend in a different place.
But after all, there is a six-hour time difference between Paris and the United States. Sometimes when her boyfriend makes a video call to her, it is already 3 o'clock in the morning.
Before coming to Paris, she had arranged a meeting time with her boyfriend. Emily looked forward to it all the time, but at the approaching date, her boyfriend suddenly regretted it.
He can't fly to Paris to meet his girlfriend, and he doesn't want to maintain a foreign relationship.
In this way, Emily broke up with her boyfriend.
For this job, she left everything behind, but now she has such a result.
She doesn't understand, is her persistence wrong?
Maybe, she is not suitable for this city.
But Emily didn't let the negative thoughts continue to ferment in her mind. She adjusted herself and changed her strategy.
My colleagues don't want to be friends with her, so I will find someone else.
Before Emily began to take the initiative to contact the park knew little sister Asia, Bali Jia Ling Ling points I - Mitel .
Soon the two of them became friends who talked about everything. From time to time, they made dinner appointments and complained about their strange colleagues.
My boss is not optimistic about his proposal, so I will share it on my social account.
As a result, it was forwarded by the wife of the French president, Brigitte Macron.
Now my colleague has nothing to say about her new media marketing strategy.
The next working life Emily is like "open hanging", her enthusiasm, bravery and small ideas have solved one problem after another for the company and customers.
When it comes to Paris, there are not only fashion, beauty, croissant, but also an amorous encounter.
Single women in Paris, naturally, have a lot of affair.
First, the handsome chef Baijiale (Lucas Bravo) who lives downstairs ;
The boss's lover also fell in love with Emily, and openly "teased" her and gave her gifts.
This time the boss's original dissatisfaction with Emily was even more intense, and Emily had to pull out the handsome chef Gabriel to "fight against the disaster."
Gabriel is not only good at cooking, but also enthusiastic, and often helps Emily solve some troubles.
After going back and forth, Emily's affection for Baijiale increased.
Unfortunately, he already has a girlfriend who has been in love for many years.
What's even more incredible is that Gabriel's girlfriend is another friend Emily met after coming to Paris.
No way, Emily is unwilling to destroy the feelings of her friends, so she can only hide her feelings for Baijiale.
In order to divert her attention, she met a French professor in the restaurant.
They had a relationship that day and tried to communicate.
Emily soon discovered that the well-mannered professor was actually an arrogant and despicable villain.
Emily's love plan was once again ruined.
But life is like this, just like Andrea in "The Queen Wearing Prada", every time a broken relationship is accompanied by an upgrade in the workplace.
Everyone saw Emily's ability, and the originally picky female boss also recognized her more and more.
It's just that she can't let go of her feelings for Baijiale. The better her friends treat her, the deeper she feels guilty.
Even if she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, she just fell in love with Bacardi without knowing it.
And Baijiale also has a good impression of Emily, and the complicated emotional entanglement made Emily's heart more entangled.
One side is a friend, and the other side is a person I like.
She didn't know what to do.
Just when she was at a loss, things turned around.
Because Gabriel wanted to open a restaurant, the conflict between him and his girlfriend was intensifying. Finally, Gabriel decided to go home to open the restaurant and break up with his girlfriend.
She knew that after Gabriel returned to his hometown, they would not have any intersection, so the night before leaving, Emily could no longer suppress her emotions.
Sparks are flying between two single men and women who have had a good relationship with each other, but they both know what they will face after a short joy.
No one mentioned it, everyone knew it well.
She wanted to start a new life after that day, with her new pursuit object.
But at this time, Gabriel’s original restaurant has received investment and does not need to close.
Gabriel can also stay in Paris and fulfill his dream.
One side is the old love and the other is the new love . Who will Emily choose in the end?
The plot of the first season of "Emily" comes to an abrupt end here, and it seems that these answers can only be left to the next season.
Looking at it as a whole, this is a high-bodied comedy with "face value is justice" .
Especially Lily Collins, and Lucas Bravo, who plays the new-generation actor Gabriel, are still very good looking.
Relaxed, happy and uncompressed, beautiful and pleasing scenery and picture sense, very suitable for watching dramas at home on a rest day.
Although the plot script of the bloody and vulgar plot, the deliberate Paris stereotype and the conflict of brainless American culture, fashion, etc., I want to make people complain in several places: too Mary Su!
But then think about it, there are beauties and handsome guys with good looks, and occasionally it's good not to use your brain to watch the show.
I wish you all a happy chasing drama! Looking forward to second
