Chapter 446 The right to define aesthetics
In fact, at the press conference, another reporter asked a question about the use of black actors.
As we all know, due to special historical reasons, black actors in Hollywood are usually very united and special, and are usually given certain privileges.
Carrying the label of racial discrimination, ordinary film companies and directors really can't afford to offend these black actors.
So when you watch Hollywood movies, you usually find a phenomenon, which can also be said to be a spectacle. That is, an important black character will be arranged in the plot, usually a positive role, playing an important role.
Or take on a funny role and use unique black humor to bring some comedy to the film.
The black characters in the "Fast and Furious" series and Chris Tucker in the "Rush Hour" series are similarly positioned.
As for popular black actors like Will Smith, they have already broken away from their position as black actors. It is not easy for Will Smith to reach the position of a first-line star in Hollywood.
So the question is, why have there been basically no black actors in Little Gilbert’s movies in recent years? Is this discrimination against black actors?
Of course, before the reporter could finish his question, he was asked out by the press officer.
But this issue is still spreading among the black actors, and Gilbert Jr. is suspected of discriminating against black actors.
They tried to make the problem bigger, only to find that almost all Hollywood studios and mainstream media did not care about their protests and complaints.
Sky Studios, David Ellison and Michael Ovitz have just returned from the set of Van Helsing.
The filming of "Van Helsing" is now progressing well and should be able to catch up with next year's summer release. David Ellison is very confident to have a try with little Gilbert in the summer release.
Of course he heard about the recent dissatisfaction of the black actors in Hollywood with Little Gilbert, so he asked Michael Ovitz: "Can we mobilize some media to hype up this matter?"
Michael Ovitz disagreed and vetoed: "David, this is inappropriate. This is simply a very unreasonable accusation. If we stand up, Disney and Warner will target us."
David Ellison thought the same thing. Faced with the siege of the two major media giants, even if his father Larry Ellison came, he would have to retreat, let alone him.
It's just a pity for David Ellison to give up this opportunity.
If little Gilbert can be branded as a racist, even if little Gilbert cannot be ruined, at least it can divide and divide part of his base of movie fans.
But it's a pity that Disney and Warner, two powerful media groups, protect little Gilbert, and the Hollywood Squidward Club is deeply rooted.
Ordinary public opinion incidents cannot affect little Gilbert at all.
When agent Sheena Boone said that the black community in Hollywood had recently been dissatisfied with Gilbert Jr., Gilbert Jr. felt innocent.
"Are you saying that I haven't used black actors in the past few years?" Little Gilbert was speechless: "No, how can we use black actors in "Lord of the Rings"? Is it possible to arrange some black elves?"
"Pirates of the Caribbean can't be used, right? Were black people still slaves during that time? Aren't they even more angry when it was filmed?"
They say that American history is not good, but Scarlett is okay. She actually understands the history of blood and tears of black people.
Sheena Boone smiled and said: "Indeed, Scarlett is right. I think you don't need to pay attention to this matter. Someone will naturally speak for you."
Little Gilbert shrugged. Indeed, anyone who cares about such silly remarks will be embarrassed, so just ignore them.
As a result, the mainstream media collectively ignored the demands of the so-called black groups in Hollywood. Will Smith's wife Jada Smith asked her husband to take the lead.
As a result, Will Smith went up to Jada Smith and slapped her at home, leaving Jada Smith stunned.
"You...you dare to hit me?" Jada Smith was like crazy. She went up to scratch Will Smith, and then was pushed to the ground by Will Smith.
Will Smith also loudly educated: "What are you pretending in your mind every day? Didn't you see that even that fool Spike Lee didn't dare to participate in this matter? Do you want to kill me?"
Spike Lee is a famous black director in Hollywood. When it comes to his works, he doesn't seem to have much to offer. But it was because of the black equal rights movement in Hollywood that he became the leader of black forces in Hollywood.
But this time the black group protested against Little Gilbert, and Spike Lee rarely stood up to lead them, but remained silent.
It can be seen that Spike Lee also knows who can be offended and who cannot be offended, and he does not want to offend this brow.
Jada Smith is the brainless type. The typical image of black people being stupid, old, rough and uneducated. But Will Smith is different, he has a brain.
Will Smith is still looking forward to working with Little Gilbert one day. How could he offend Little Gilbert and stand up to speak for irrelevant black actors?
Not to mention, maybe in another twenty years, Will Smith will not think this way, but by then black people will no longer be noble.
After all, twenty years from now it will be a diverse world, with QTBGLIAPKDXUCS and so many other groups. Who do black people count?
In short, these black actors saw that little Gilbert was not easy to bully and ignored them, so they immediately changed their targets, and other young directors were in trouble.
That's when Roger Ebert, a die-hard Little Gilbert fan, came into play, and he mentioned on his show the recent happenings with black actors in Hollywood.
Roger Ebert also mocked: "I doubt whether their IQ can function normally. I think the normal function of IQ is a basic physiological function of a human being, no matter who it is, even if it is an alien."
As soon as these words came out, the black gang in Hollywood immediately changed their target and began to attack Roger Ebert. An actor who has been an actor in Hollywood for many years and is terminally ill with HIV came out and said: "I think Roger Ebert's brain is broken. Even a normal person knows how much we have done for Hollywood and this country." contribute."
Roger Ebert did not give in: "What contribution did you make? Did you help Washington, Jefferson and others build the United States, or did you help win the just World War II?
We demand equal rights, but you use this Want to get privileges?”
Roger Ebert is right when he says that most so-called equal rights groups are just asking for privileges in the name of equal rights.
Just like the so-called boxers, they have gradually begun to rise in recent years.
What is the purpose of pursuing power? It is for the wealth and status that power brings and the good life that power brings.
Little Gilbert has power in Hollywood, so he has status, a yacht, a private jet, and several girlfriends and lovers.
But while power brings enjoyment, it also comes with responsibilities.
In the case of little Gilbert, he had to work hard every year, making movies and making business plans to maintain his empire of power.
Hollywood is a circle where if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you think that you can sit back and relax and start enjoying yourself after climbing to the top, you are totally wrong.
Little Gilbert once read a sentence and thought it made sense.
What that sentence says is that today's so-called groups that demand equal rights but demand privileges essentially just want to be independent people who do not bear the responsibilities of power and directly enjoy status and wealth.
So it is right to say that workers are the greatest. As long as it is legal, any worker is great.
At the very least, these workers are working hard to earn their own future with their own hands. Unlike some groups, who don’t want to do anything, they ask society to give them the best resources.
Sometimes Little Gilbert wants to use the BBC method to ask these black groups, and future diversity groups, what are the short-term benefits of doing so, and what are the costs?
Of course, the diversity of the future world is the result of the promotion of certain hidden capital groups and forces, with the purpose of dividing the underlying world.
Disney Hollywood, where little Gilbert is located, will be a pioneer in this regard in the future.
As a shareholder of Disney and a member of Disney's board of directors, Gilbert Jr. felt that he had to bring order to things, not only to restore order to the world, but at least to ensure normal film aesthetics.
During the chat with Robert Egger, little Gilbert often preached his aesthetic theory.
After this small-scale black protest, Little Gilbert found Robert Egger again.
Little Gilbert believes that the pursuit of beautiful things is something God has given to humans and is engraved in genes. Therefore, when someone attempts to break this aesthetic philosophy, they are disobeying God.
In China, this statement probably comes from the essence of biology’s pursuit of beauty, but in Western society, it must be related to God, so that it seems correct.
Robert Iger was still very confused: "Little Gilbert, which of our Disney movies has the heroine chosen that doesn't meet your taste?"
“No,” little Gilbert said, “I think it’s just because it conforms to our aesthetics that it needs to be valued and protected.
Bob, can you imagine a black mermaid? "
"A black mermaid?" Robert Egger imagined the scene and suddenly shuddered: "How could there be a black mermaid? Is it a scavenger?"
"But that's it, there is also a black Snow White, like this." Little Gilbert drew a sketch, which was just like the Juliet in a certain version of "Romeo and Juliet" in his previous life.
Robert Iger immediately felt physically uncomfortable when he saw this sketch: "This thing will never appear in our Disney."
"Really?" Little Gilbert expressed doubt.
"Of course," Robert Iger swore, "whoever dares to design such an image and destroy my Disney brand will be killed by me."
Little Gilbert has no memory. It seems that when Disney released "The Black Mermaid" in the previous life, Robert Iger was no longer the president of Disney.
The new president seems to be a diverse person whose gender cannot be determined.
Now that little Gilbert is at Disney, he must not let such a person become the president of Disney. This sounds like a supporter of the Elephant Party, but in fact Hollywood is mostly a supporter of the Donkey Party.
Little Gilbert doesn’t want to support anyone, but if the Donkey Party insists on forcing him to diversify, Little Gilbert doesn’t mind supporting the Elephant Party.
It is difficult to be alone in this world, and when you reach Little Gilbert's position, you cannot cut off the symbols and shackles on your body.
As the old saying goes: Politics is never far away from Hollywood.
