according to a report by france international radio on the 16th, the latest season of the popular tv series "emilia in paris" has been launched on the streaming platform netflix. french first lady brigitte macron has indeed made a "real-life guest appearance", bringing surprises to the characters in the series and audiences around the world.
as a popular fashion drama on netflix, "emily in paris" has now been filmed to its fourth season. as one of the "hardcore fans" of the show, brigitte was previously photographed by the media on the set, and the rumor of a real-life guest appearance has made many fans look forward to it. sure enough, in the seventh episode of the fourth season of "emily in paris", the french first lady really appeared - in an elegant restaurant in paris, the heroine emily, who was dining with an intern, met the french first lady who was also dining with a friend. although the bodyguard stopped emily, she still introduced herself to the first lady in stumbling french and said that she liked france very much. brigitte in the play seemed a little surprised, and also recognized emily, saying "my country likes you too", and finally the two took a photo together like all fans who meet stars by chance.
according to reports, as a fashion drama that has swept the world, "emily in paris" shows the elegant taste and exquisite life of the fashion capital, and many fashion brands appear in the drama. the french "le monde" said that by letting brigitte make a guest appearance, the drama is linked to her good taste and a certain french style concept. the producer also revealed that the first lady wore her daily private clothes in the drama. lily collins, the actress who plays the heroine, revealed in a recent interview that in fact, the french first lady's wife had the intention to make a guest appearance a long time ago, which can be traced back to a few years ago. at that time, brigitte had met collins and other creators and expressed her willingness to show her face in person.
this netflix streaming series that shows "paris through the eyes of americans" has been embroiled in controversy in france. some people believe that the creators deliberately beautified certain aspects of paris, which is actually another "stereotype". however, the french government still supports the series. not only did brigitte make a cameo appearance, but careful viewers also found that the french tourism development agency label appeared under emily's social media selfie. this may be the french tourism department's hope to use the series to respond to the call of french president macron to "promote france's cultural and tourism influence." not only brigitte, but former french first lady carla bruni also made a cameo appearance in the famous director woody allen's film "midnight in paris". the french, who generally like literature and art, are not too surprised by this cameo.
however, le monde criticized that the scene could cause dissatisfaction due to its inopportune timing and could be seen as a complete disconnect between the president and the concerns of the french people, especially after an unusually bad summer of politics. although the episode was filmed long before the dissolution of the national assembly, there are always risks in incorporating reality into fiction, especially when it comes to public affairs.
