Synopsis of story:

Marisa Ventura is a single mother who lives in the Bronx, new york. Growing up in a slum, she is strong and independent, but cheerful and kind. Like every girl, she dreams that one day she can find a husband who loves her, form a happy family and live a happy life without food and clothing. Then in reality, she is just a maid in charge of cleaning rooms in a hotel, supporting herself and her son Taylor on a meager salary.

Finally, one day, the "Prince Charming" that Marisa has been longing for appeared as a gift. His name is Christopher Marshall, and he has a handsome appearance, gentle and elegant temperament and pure aristocratic blood. He is definitely a real son. Christopher came to new york for an important family gathering and happened to stay at the hotel where he worked at Marisa.

As if by fate, Christopher misunderstood that Marisa, who was trying on designer clothes, was a famous lady in the upper class, so Marisa met Christopher by mistake, and they fell in love at first sight and had a good talk. However, after a short and sweet romantic time, Marisa's identity as a hotel maid was exposed and the two had fallen in love. How should they face this reality? Can love make them cross the world?

Just as they were about to give up in the face of pressure and difficulties from all sides, Marisa 10-year-old son Taylor's well-intentioned prank helped his mother bravely win the happiness at her fingertips.

Wonderful point of view:

Ralph Fiennes, a British actor and actress who is well known to the audience in China for his films Schindler's List and The English Patient, plays a gentle American aristocrat in the films. For this noble role, Fiennes, who has always been thin, put on a few pounds, and found a pronunciation director who worked with him in a puzzle game to brush up his American accent.

The performance of jennifer lopez, the most popular actress in the United States, can be seen from the box office income of $6.5438+0.9 million in the first week of the film's release in the United States, so the film also set the best box office record for Jennifer's solo film over the years.

Tyler posey, the little actor who plays Jennifer's son in the film, can be described as a kid. Although there are not many scenes, his natural sense of camera makes his performance excellent, and of course he steals the camera.

Cinderella in Manhattan-a romantic performance that goes deep into the bone marrow

For many years, the "Cinderella story" in folklore is a love myth imagined by countless people. Although it is far from our real life, people are always willing to make this fantastic beauty as real as possible and make it eternal. So there are always different versions of Cinderella stories appearing on the stage. Lopez also joined hands with "The English Patient" Ralph to bring the American version of modern Cinderella-the movie Cinderella in Manhattan.

One is a wealthy employer and politician who lives in a Manhattan hotel, and the other is a hotel waitress. Two worlds are mixed up, and people from two different worlds fall in love. Lopez gave Ralph a sense of direction, that is, not to ignore his own heart. Ralph let Lopez find confidence and know that he should believe in himself. Their love is naturally understandable and the story is credible. But how to further show the timelessness and charm of this story? This is a challenge for the film. A lot of space in the film is to show their further understanding and mutual respect. At this time, you will feel that this is a true story in our life, not a fantasy. Their desires and fantasies are actually those of us who live in rich, cold and dynamic cities.

Director China galloping through Hollywood.

China has always had many actors and directors with irresistible Hollywood dreams, while Wang Ying went to Hollywood at the age of 17. Wang Ying grew up in Hongkong and was fascinated by Hollywood movies since he was a child. Even the English name Wayne is taken from the western movie star JohnWayne. 1975, assistant director of the American film "Golden Thorium" filmed in Hong Kong for the first time, and co-director of "Killer of Men and Women" in the same year. Later, he stayed in the United States to look for opportunities for independent production. 1993, he became an instant hit because of Disney's tearful literary film The Joy Luck Club, which described the fate of China women for a century, and finally entered the mainstream Hollywood market. Smoke, which describes the family relationship of white Americans, has been well received, which proves that he will not only direct China films. Later, he filmed "china box" and other films about women for 1997. He was the first China director to become famous in the United States. Talking about his experiences along the way, Wang Ying said that as the earliest director of China who made films in Hollywood, it was very difficult at first, because you know that the influence of oriental films was not very prominent at that time, and there were few directors like us. There is no Chinese participation in other film industries such as martial arts instruction and music creation, and the market demand is not great. Therefore, the difficult situation can be imagined. More than ten years have passed, and now the situation is much better, and so is Hollywood.

Talking about his success, Wang Ying said, my personal feeling is that if I want to achieve something in Hollywood, my works must have their own distinctive features. For example, the director of The Sixth Sense, a director of Indian descent, has a completely different feeling from many American directors in his works. Speaking of "marching into the Oscar" that many people in China have been longing for, Wang Ying has his own opinion on this formulation: "I don't think Oscar is equal to a good movie. In my opinion, marching into the Oscar means spending a lot of unnecessary money, which is a very crazy thing. "

Wang Ying's films require him never to repeat himself in the film, so each of his films is different, including very mainstream commercial films and marginal art films. In Wang Ying's view, commercial films and artistic films are not diametrically opposed. Of course, art films often make directors feel depressed, because its movie audience is really too small compared with commercial films.

The cooperation with American pop star jennifer lopez and British gentleman Ralph in Cinderella in Manhattan enabled Wang Ying to set the highest box office record of his own works and successfully enter the mainstream Hollywood film market.
