"Ugly Betty" star América Ferreira became the director, and "Imperfect Daughter" was her first film as a director. Now that Ferreira is back in the public eye, and "Barbie", a film from a female perspective, is popular, everyone hopes that "Ugly Betty" can have a sequel, because the concept of this movie is very advanced. "THR" film critic O'Connor also talked about this topic, and she also felt that there are too few "big heroine series" in Hollywood, and some high-quality women's works should be restarted. It's no surprise that O'Connor's "Ugly Betty" has a chance to be rebooted. In fact, many classic series have been given a chance to be rebooted, such as "Friends" and "Life Big**", which were huge successes when they premiered and had a legion of loyal fans. So O'Connor's ** women's series also has a chance to reboot.
Now that Ferreira has started his career as a director, O'Connor has also made a decision about it—can Ferreira succeed Greta?As the director of "Barbie", Greta Gerwig's value in Hollywood has skyrocketed, coupled with the accumulation of "Little Women" and "Lady Bird", some people even think that Greta has become a first-line director. However, judging from the information that O'Connor learned, even if Warner starts the creation of a sequel to "Barbie", Greta will not only come to this series. However, both Greta and loyal fans of this film hope that Zaslav will continue to look for a female director to replace Greta so as to ensure that the work of the big heroine does not deviate from the essence. As a result, Ferreira's talent in the field of directing needs to be seen, and she should have a chance to succeed Greta, although O'Connor also admits that Ferreira is still too inexperienced.
Although there are a number of female creators in Hollywood who are on the rise, because the directors of the first series of "Rocky" and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" are also women, O'Connor believes that the film industry has needed female filmmakers to supplement it, and Ferreira has a good time to become a director. Greta has played an important role in Hollywood, and her work has been loved by audiences and has also been highly recognized by the film industry. However, Ferreira, as a new director, will not be easy to take over Greta's place. Although she has talent and a unique perspective, her lack of experience and lack of masterpieces are the biggest problems she faces. Then if Ferreira can replace her, both sides will face greater pressure.
Speaking of the influence of "Ugly Betty", although the age of the film is not long, many fans have blurred, because Hollywood such works will not receive many follow-up publicity resources. I believe that the audience in my country should know "Ugly Girl Invincible", which is known as the Chinese version of "Ugly Betty". It may be that the filming quality of the series in our country is too poor, which has led to a decrease in many people's impression of "Ugly Betty". Over time, these fans have grown up** and they are eager to relive those fond memories. As a result, TV stations and production companies see the potential to reboot classic series. However, under the premise of the vigorous affirmative action movement in the new century, everyone has seen the rise of "Captain Marvel", "She-Hulk" and "Wonder Woman", but there is almost no kind of ** about ordinary women growing up and getting rid of appearance anxiety.
Some people may say that "Barbie" can indeed make female audiences less entangled in their looks, but O'Connor believes that the audience of the film does not belong to ordinary people, and the protagonist cannot represent ordinary women. This kind of work that can make ordinary women succeed seems to be the only one in the new century "Ugly Betty", no wonder O'Connor ** This movie has a chance to be restarted. However, rebooting the classic series is not easy. First of all, finding the right cast is a challenge. Over time, the casts' age and appearance have changed, and it's hard to find the feeling of the past. In addition, reboot episodes need to take into account the tastes and values of contemporary viewers to ensure that new episodes can appeal to younger audiences. Even if Ferreira can become the lead actor again, the other roles that need to set off this protagonist still need to be carefully selected.
The author (complacent watching the movie) believes that if "Ugly Betty" can restart the creation of a sequel, then the film will indeed be a success. To ensure the success of the reboot, the production company should work with the writers and directors of the original drama to maintain the original style and storyline. At the same time, they should focus on marketing and publicity to attract the attention of fans of the original drama and younger audiences. If these can be done, then the reboot of "Ugly Betty" has a chance to be a huge success. O'Connor believes that Ferreira needs to find a producer or studio that can support her and provide her with the necessary resources and platform to make the most of her talents. Only then will it be possible for her to make her mark in the field of directing and eventually take Greta's place.
