这段时间crazy rich Asian 热映,电影很一般,但是我很好奇地把书听了一遍,电影变动很大,很可惜,降格为异常热闹的chic flick。
听完了第一本,又开始听第二本,china rich girl friend。
里面有个情节我觉得挺有意思。
那个大陆小明星虽然嫁入豪门却无法融入那个封闭的上流圈子,到处受到折辱。这时候,一个自称可以帮她脱胎换骨的导师,给她写下很多要点,从衣服,首饰,用餐,交通,都有极为详尽的指点,当然对我们这样的城市平民也就是听了一笑了之。
但是,导师还开了一条长长的书单,我觉得挺有意思的,记录下来,咱们也看看。 话说,开卷有益,多读点书总是没错的,没准还真的和上流淑女接近了一点呢,嘿嘿
