After more than 20 years, I watched "Working Girl" (also translated "Working Girl"), and still laughed at the female secretary Daisy, played by the sexy actress Milanni Griffith, and worried about her from time to time. Way out. The film was shot in 1988, when the New York landmark "Gemini" was still there. At that time, these gangsters, who kept jumping from their nests, were working in an open-plan office on a certain floor of the "World Trade Center".

Director Mike Nichols uses an almost joking comedy way to show all the living beings who are racking their brains by female white-collar workers in the workplace. Of course, the focus is mainly on the Daisy girl. The scenes of New York buildings that repeatedly appear in the lens are reminiscent of the New York that Gatsby glimpsed in Scott Fitzgerald's novel-"The city rises across the river, white, like blocks Sugar... an indescribable universe." In fact, there is also a certain cold squeeze here. As encountered by the heroine in the film.

Dais had a boyfriend, Mick, who was about to propose to her. Pian Mick was uncomfortable, playing cheating with other girls, and it happened to be caught by Daiss who came back. This relationship even ended without a disease. Fortunately, her boss, Catherine, played by Sigourney Weaver, broke her leg due to skiing and was lying in the hospital for treatment. All the work at hand can only be counted on by the female secretary Daisy. Losing love can just shift the focus to work. Inadvertently, Daisy saw that Catherine's computer had an idea for acquiring a company that she had proposed last time, and indicated that Daisy could not see this idea.

This is very angry Daisy, obviously it is her own creativity, but it has become the golden idea of ​​this selfish and domineering female boss. This inspired Daisy's bolder ideas, and she wanted to take the initiative. Sell ​​this idea to Jack, the middleman, played by Harrison Ford. She attended a reception with both excitement and anxiety. Jack glanced at her and was attracted by her sexy appearance. He said that he had known her for a long time. But Daisy said she only wanted to see the man named Jack. Jack said he was gone. Daisy wanted to leave too, but she didn't expect to be entangled by Jack. Daisy asked him who was his last name and name, but he didn't say anything, so he had to ask her for a few drinks. Daisy, who was too drunk, was in a mess. Jack had to carry her back to the residence.

When she woke up the next day, Daisy found that she was only wearing underwear and a big man was sleeping next to her. She ran away early in a panic. Because she is going to Jack's office to talk about the acquisition of subway stations. When she arrived at Jack's office, she knew that Jack was the one who slept with her last night. But Jack shrugged and said that I didn't touch you a finger, just put you to bed, but I did not sleep well. This made Daisy breathe a sigh of relief. So she sat in distress and told Jack and the others about the acquisition. At first, no one was interested, but after she deconstructed them one by one, she persuaded Jack.

What Daisy often said was "I'm not a steak, you can order it if you want." Now she seems to have some confidence. The problem is that Jack, who has failed many times, will never allow the slightest mistake this time. After all, Wall Street is a place where the weak can eat the strong. Daisy had to make mistakes again and again. Anyway, she had pushed herself to the position of supervisor, and was no longer the female secretary who was on call. And Jack revealed to her that he has a strong girlfriend who broke her leg while skiing and is recuperating in the hospital. When she is discharged, he will explain to her that I don't love her anymore. My God, pretending to be a female boss to talk about the acquisition is a huge risk, and now I'm trying to grab her boyfriend with Catherine. Now she was in a catastrophe.

There is no retreat, she has to bite the bullet and complete this perfect acquisition plan with Jack, but it is not easy. Because the acquisition consortium is the Choi Group. She must first meet the big boss Oren Triss and tell her what she thinks in her mind before she can succeed. It just so happened that Oren’s daughter was getting married to hold a large wedding banquet. She took Jack into the "Dragon Pond", and after a lot of setbacks, she finally found the opportunity to dance with Oren. She promoted the plan like a bullet, and Oren, who was listening with gusto, agreed that she could meet for more details. chat. Just as she and Jack were so happy to give high fives, Catherine called and said that she would be discharged from the hospital next Monday. The flustered Daisy hurried to Oren's office. After some setbacks, Oren said that she could meet.

The problem was that the real supervisor, Catherine, was discharged from the hospital and returned home. Daisy took up the job of a female secretary again and served her carefully. When Jack was coming, Daisy had to find an excuse to buy medicine. When she came back, she hid aside and heard the conversation between them. Catherine wanted to make affection with him, but he turned down tactfully, which made Catherine suspicious. After Jack left, Daisy appeared in secret, gave her medicine and ran out, but forgot to carry her bag. As soon as Catherine opened it, she was dizzy. It turned out to be an acquisition plan, and she had time to meet Oren. While Daisy was talking about the acquisition plan to Oren, Catherine on crutches broke in and revealed the identity of Daisy's female secretary on the spot, saying that this plan was originally her idea and had nothing to do with Daisy. Daisy hoped that Jack beside her could say something fair, but Jack didn't say anything, Daisy had to run away.

Dess, who had nowhere to go, returned to the office to pack her luggage, just like the people on Wall Street who resigned with cardboard boxes in both hands that we often see on TV. She sat down on the elevator in frustration and was seen by Jack, panicking. She dropped the cardboard box in her hand. When Jack helped her pack it up, she didn't expect Catherine to lead Oren in. Daisy bravely told Oren about the most overlooked part of the acquisition, which made Oren interested in going down the elevator, and instead followed Daisy and Jack on the other elevator upstairs. Daisy told Oren about the original idea of ​​the acquisition, and Oren was moved by her seriousness and care. Out of the elevator, Catherine also came out of another elevator. Oren stepped forward and asked her how she thought of the acquisition. Catherine was incomprehensible. Oren smiled and turned to Daisy and said that if you want, you can come to my company tomorrow. work.

Aha, this made Dessle bloom. Don't say anything, he still has a good job. The next day, she went to work with a cardboard box and habitually sat down in the female secretary's seat. The female secretary who was calling in the boss's office came out embarrassedly and said that the office in charge was yours. Daisy couldn't believe it, she had ascended to heaven in one step. After having tasted the ups and downs of being a female secretary, Daisy gently said to the female secretary that you don’t have to ask me if I want coffee or tea. I will come by myself. I will call you if I need you. You can rest assured. of. This surprised the female secretary, thinking that she finally ushered in a female boss who can get along well and understand people so well. For Daisy, all of this is finally regarded as a daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law.

    -Maybe I don't like you. -Me? Nah? Forget those goofy hair styles and chick cliches. This is a movie about Ford's business formal masculinity, Alex's young, serious devotee, and Ann Roth's shirtwaister & sneakers design.
