Recently, a domestic fashion drama "Dress" starring Xiao Song Jia, Yuan Yongyi and Song Zu'er has aroused heated discussion on the Internet.
The TV series directed by 500 is set in the fashion magazine "Dressage" and is written by Lei Zhilong, a young screenwriter with seven years of media experience.
In terms of plot, this TV series mainly tells that with the development of the new era, the traditional paper media has been impacted and tested, and the fashion magazine "Dress" is in transition, the editor-in-chief Lin George suddenly jumped off the building and committed suicide, and then the magazine faced a vacancy in the editor-in-chief.
The heroine Chen Kaiyi, played by Song Jia, is the deputy editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine "Dress", she is talented and ambitious, joined the "Dress" for 8 years, insisted on "content is king", and was originally a strong candidate for promotion to the position of editor-in-chief.
Xiao Hongxue, played by Yuan Yongyi, is the editor-in-chief newly sent from the group headquarters and "parachuted in" from Hong Kong, and she and Chen Kaiyi, who attach importance to capital power, have a completely different stance, and the internal employees take sides, and then form two camps within "Dress", which is surging for a time.

First of all, let's talk about Chen Kaiyi, who holds the script of the big female protagonist.
At the beginning of the story of "Dress up", Chen Kaiyi is watching a private fashion show, she is wearing a royal blue turtleneck sweater with a black cloak, and wearing a pair of black sunglasses, the aura is enough.
As a "female demon head", she is cold, arrogant, picky, and unsmiling.
For the fashion show that she just watched, everyone thought it was not bad, but she felt that it was not OK, because the show had the smell of decoration.
Then she released the character slogan: "Why does 'dressage' have to be a dress?" What is 'dressage'? It's an attitude, it's an atmosphere. ”
Back in the office, I met the editor-in-chief George jumping down from the top floor. Chen Kaiyi asked all the onlookers to go back to work, then hid behind the wall for three minutes and changed into a gray Prince of Wales checkered suit jacket.
After dealing with emotions and coming out to preside over the overall situation, she looked strong and impeccable when she was in danger, and in the face of the interrogation of the criminal police, she also put forward the suggestion of "working while answering questions", and then quickly put into work, and did not allow other employees to affect the work because of emotions, which seemed a bit ruthless but was in line with her personality.
After dealing with the urgent work, she has completely adjusted her state, put a white camellia on her chest, and went downstairs with red wine, remembering her best confidant George and showing her ambition.
Just when she naturally thought that because of 8 years of hard work and high achievements, the position of editor-in-chief should belong to herself, she chose a long red and black coat printed with starry sky patterns to appear, full of confidence, full of ambition, and fierce.
Then immediately after being splashed with coffee by Li Na, a rookie intern played by Song Zu'er, this also implies that from the very beginning, Chen Kaiyi has fallen into the dilemma of "internal and external troubles".
But I didn't expect that the group's top brass stabbed in the back and parachuted in a new editor-in-chief, Xiao Hongxue from Hong Kong.
The clarion call of the civil war in Costume was blown.
Chen Kaiyi is a typical workplace strong woman, she is not close to people, with neat short and medium hair, perfect makeup, love to wear suits, as the deputy editor of the magazine, she will also wear silk scarves, choose simple and exquisite accessories to enhance fashion.
She is fully armed and wears battle armor, likes to wrap herself tightly, and always has a contradictory temperament: she looks elegant and determined, as if impeccable, but fragile, in fact, she has long been exhausted.
Her outfit is also very consistent with her mood, and she likes to wear cool-colored clothes, like this gray cloak coat.
When wearing a shirt, I also chose this black shirt, which was embellished with metal rivet buttons like small thorns on her body.
Chen Kaiyi wearing this khaki suit is also a better model, she gave up the traditional wearing of a suit with a shirt, but chose "vacuum", looking fashionable a lot.
Occasionally, Chen Kaiyi also wears floral tops, but this style of clothing obviously does not have a solid color suit that matches her personality.

After talking about Chen Kaiyi, let's talk about Xiao Hongxue, the editor-in-chief of the airborne landing.
The show sets the time set in 2016, a year when new media rose rapidly, traditional media declined, the entire industry underwent earth-shaking changes, and "Dress" also faced transformation.
Chen Kaiyi, as the representative of the old-school journalists, insists that "content is king", while the group appoints Xiao Hongxue to represent the new forces, she is a radical reformer and a person recognized by capital.
When Xiao Hongxue first appeared, she wore a noble dark green long dress, unlike Chen Kaiyi, who was surrounded by a large group of people, on the contrary, she did not even bring an assistant and carried her own bag.
Unlike Chen Kaiyi's cold and ruthless pickiness, Xiao Hongxue is tolerant, has a high emotional intelligence, is good at dancing with long sleeves, and is very good at winning people's hearts. These all come from her excellent, well-nurtured family lineage and strong capital background.
She spoke softly, and even smiled and handed Chen Kaiyi dessert, while speaking beautifully, so that people could not pick out the thorns.
In the popular words now, Xiao Hongxue is very good at "coming to things", and on the first day of coming to the company, he can call out everyone's names and masterpieces, and the balance in many people's hearts is tilted in three words.
Compared with a news person, Xiao Hongxue is more like an excellent businessman, she is shouldering the heavy responsibility of making "Dress" profitable, and after coming to the magazine to quickly win people's hearts and gain a firm foothold, the first thing she did was to check the accounts of former editor-in-chief Lin George, and at the same time lay off employees and kick Chen Kaiyi's people out.
On the day of entry, this scene in the elevator is also very interesting, the entire elevator takes the middle as the dividing line, and two opposing camps are formed left and right.
At Xiao Hongxue's induction ceremony, Chen Kaiyi spoke first as the "old man" of "Dress", saying that he was an old-school news person, and at the same time talked about news ideals, and wanted to give Xiao Hongxue a chance to get off the horse.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hongxue did not take her words, and came up and said directly: "There are beautiful words of standards, the deputy editor has already said, then I will directly say what I want to do." ”
Xiao Hongxue, who seems to have no offensive power, actually hides a knife in his smile, four or two thousand pounds, not only to rebuke Chen Kaiyi, but also to directly reveal his identity - what is the use of you Chen Kaiyi saying that it is good, it is not the deputy editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief is my Xiao Hongxue.
In terms of dressing style, Xiao Hongxue and Chen Kaiyi are also very different.
She had long hair but a neat ponytail, preferring leather clothes to suits, and bright dresses.
But she will not wear a pure black leather coat, but will choose gray, gray green and other less aggressive colors.
Even wearing a suit is more casual, with knit and sleeves rolled up.
Yuan Yongyi also "brought a bag into the group" this time, and the dark green crocodile skin Hermes carried in her hand on the first day of the company was her private goods.

As a fashion drama, many people have watched the drama but commented that the drama looks "not fashionable", and even Chen Kaiyi, who is the "female devil" of fashion, is also dressed in some "mediocrity".
But in fact, the fashion chief planner of "Dressage" is Deng Li, the former editor-in-chief of "Jia Ren Marie claire", and the image consultant is former fashion editor Cui Dan, who together "escort" the drama.
This less fashionable feel is partly due to the fact that the show is set in a sense of time lag caused by 2016, and partly because the characters do not have personal characteristics that people can remember at a glance.
Seeing this poster, covering up these titles and text introductions, is she fashionable? It's also fashionable indeed. Like a female executive? And it does.
But you can imagine her as a female executive at any business, not necessarily the deputy editor of the fashion magazine Dress.
Since that's it, I have to talk about another classic fashion movie, The Devil Wears Prada.
Their story background is also a top fashion magazine, and there is also a "female devil", but Miranda, played by Aunt MayryL Streep, can make a deep impression at the moment of appearance.
He has short, iconic silver hair, a long dennis Basso black leather coat, Armani black gloves on his hands, PRADA high heels, a PRADA white bag, and a copy of Runway.
When she entered the elevator and took off her sunglasses, the people in the same ladder quickly said "sorry" and snatched the door out.
Such a "female devil" does not need a large group of people to hug and swear, nor does it need large annotations to let people know that this is the editor-in-chief of a top fashion magazine.
This is also reflected in Chen Kaiyi's office, although the layout is equally simple and generous, but it is difficult for you to see that this desktop and furnishings have an inevitable connection with fashion, that is, a very mediocre office, which can belong to any corporate executive.
Although according to the personality, no one loves "Dress" more than Chen Kaiyi, and she is also a person who "loves to win", but you can't see her love and passion at all from her office, without any characteristics or labels that belong to Chen Kaiyi's "female devil", no battle results, no medals, and even no unique taste, cold and cold, unremarkable.
The office of Xiao Hongxue, the editor-in-chief who parachuted in, was better, and there was a bookshelf in the background, which was filled with the magazine "Dress" in a decent way.
Look at Miranda's office, which is also the editor-in-chief of the top fashion magazine, the whole office is carefully decorated, the walls are hung with the history of Runway magazine and fashion photos, and the table and coffee table are placed with flowers, such an office is full of her personal taste, rather than simply moving the IKEA office model room in.
It is worth mentioning that miranda's office in "The Queen Wearing PRADA" is the office of Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of "VOGUE", which is directly copied, and the standard answers are given.

After talking about the shortcomings of "Dress up" as a fashion drama, So Sister also wants to talk about the place where "Dressage" deserves praise in my opinion as a workplace drama.
One is Chen Kaiyi and Xiao Hongxue in the play, although they fight, they are not for their own selfish desires, but for their respective professional beliefs.
They are not friends, they are rivals, water and fire are intolerable, but at the same time they feel sorry for each other, such as the box of chocolates that Xiao Hongxue brought to Chen Kaiyi, and when the two eat chocolate, they are full of the frankness of their opponents.
There is also a more impressive clip.
Xiao Hongxue took his assistant Cai Fei to the dinner party and fell asleep in the car drunk, while Cai Fei was forcibly drunk by the drunken Wu Zong and others at the dinner table, and was sexually harassed.
Xiao Hongxue woke up in the car to see that Cai Fei was not there, and when he went back to the dinner bureau, he met The soulless Cai Fei on the stairs, and without saying anything, he took off his coat and draped it on her, pulled her back to the dinner bureau, and in a rage, a wine bottle smashed on the man's head.
It's not that this approach is optimal, but at least Xiao Hongxue's wine bottle feels very cool across the screen.
After Mr. Wu woke up, he asked for an explanation, and this matter was also on the hot search.
When the male employees of "Dress" still have concerns and suggestions for private, as an opponent, Chen Kaiyi can also choose to be private and push Xiao Hongxue out to take responsibility, so that maybe she will win.
However, Chen Kaiyi did not hesitate and asked the magazine to devote all its resources to support Cai Fei and support Xiao Hongxue.
At this moment, she put down her position of disagreement with Xiao Hongxue, but chose to believe her unconditionally and form a temporary "alliance", because they are all women, girls help girls.
Perhaps this is the value that "Dress up" is trying to convey: I hope that everyone can become an independent woman who has independent thoughts and persistence, but also has a righteous and principled heart.
