Best Movie Star

Chapter 512: freedom fighter

Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!

Political correctness has a great influence on the Academy. Spike-Lee is sure of this, and there are too many examples in the past that can be used as evidence. Even in the past two years, an accepted saying has gradually emerged in the awards season: If you don't know what to do As you prepare for next year's awards season, think about racism.

If he can be a racial whistleblower before this awards season begins, a democratic fighter for equality and freedom, plus the acclaim of The Insider itself, in the style of the old men at the Academy... …

Indeed, he didn't like that bastard, Matthew Horner, and could even say he hated it, especially seeing Matthew Horner and Sofia Coppola hand in hand into the Four Seasons Hotel.

But he didn't just do so many things just to get revenge on Matthew Horner. There are indeed some reasons for revenge on Matthew Horner, but there are more huge benefits to be gained.

Best Director Oscar... How many Hollywood directors don't want to touch that golden statue? This is not only glory, but also directly doubles the salary.

Besides, this is an opportunity to make a name for yourself in the history books!

So far, no black director in Hollywood has won the Oscar for Best Director.

After "The Insider" was released at the beginning of this year, and the word of mouth exploded, Spike-Lee had an idea for the best director of the Oscar, so he put down his face and wanted to recover Sofia Coppola, with the help of the Coppola family's power and Network of contacts, to attack the first black best director in history.

After the disillusionment about Sofia Coppola, he quickly found a second breakthrough. While maintaining a series of conventional means of redemption, he made use of public opinion and the environmental situation in the circle to increase his weight as much as possible. .

This matter has certain risks, but if it is successful, the benefits cannot be described as huge. Even if it is not successful, it will not cause much harm to him except for the waste of resources.

He will surely leave a glorious page in the history of the United States, become the leader of the Hollywood black group, become the representative of all African Americans in the United States, and even become one of the most famous African Americans in the world.

With such a name, do you still need to worry about profit?

Compared with the benefits that can be obtained, the risks taken are really not worth mentioning.

Spike-Lee can see this, and his agent can also see possible future benefits, so he fully agrees with this plan.

James Jackson is still explaining some precautions, "Spike, at the beginning, remember not to directly target individuals, first talk about the movie, and then let other people rush ahead, especially Naomie Harris, she was a while ago. I terminated the contract with the agent, and there is no agency for the time being, and I can't get along in Hollywood, so she agreed to come forward, and she herself is not very smart."

"I understand." Spike-Lee looked very calm, "My goal is the movie first, and when the public opinion takes hold, then turn to the individual, so that we can advance and retreat freely."

James Jackson has a lot of confidence in Spike Lee. The source of confidence is of course not how good Spike Lee is as a director, but because he, as an agent, deeply knows that Spike Lee is even among all blacks in Hollywood. , and is also a professional householder who has been engaged in this kind of sports for a long time.

In the past, many black-related arguments were actually initiated by Spike-Lee.

Although James Jackson is not a leftist, nor is he a firm supporter of black rights, but Spike Lee is closely tied to him, and the interests of the two are closely related. Spike Lee can gain huge benefits, and he can gain more. .

Some real opinions he will only hide in his heart.

For example, he thinks that Spike-Lee's fame has little to do with the film itself. He can get into a position in the Hollywood director who is not in the first line and in the second line. One is the tangible and intangible care of the Coppola family, and the other is Focus on doing things for more than ten years.

If I have to let him comment, Spike-Li Xiao is famous, not because of how good his movies are, but because he likes to make troubles and make **** sticks. Except for this year's "The Insider", other works are as bad as dogs. Shit, it's not so much a director, it's better to say that the director has changed his career to make **** sticks, and he specializes in talking about race.

This time, he finally got a good chance.

Frankly speaking, James Jackson doesn't approve of this, but disapproval doesn't mean he won't do it.

After all, in Hollywood it is true that crying children have milk to eat.

Most of the NBA is black, most of the table tennis winners are Chinese, most of the badminton are Asian, many white swimmers, many Asian professors in American universities, many Indians and Chinese in IT, and most violins in the field of classical music. Is it a problem that the conductors of the pianist orchestra are all white, and most of the rappers in the pop music world are black?

Of course, as long as he's still Spike Lee's agent, he'll never say it.

Instead, he will do his best to help Spike-Lee achieve his goals.

Therefore, James Jackson specially reminded Spike Lee, saying, "Matthew Horner and "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" are the best goals. The core layer of the academy has already reached a consensus that Matthew - Horner is a vulgar person who has no ambition, no artistic pursuit, no respect for the value of the Oscars, and a head full of money and beauty, and they don't like actors like Matthew Horner."

No wonder Matthew Horner makes so much money and doesn't give a **** about the Academy and the Oscars.

James Jackson complained, and then said, "It goes without saying that movies of the type "Three Hundred Spartans" are naturally not welcome in academies, and people who attack the film and Matthew Horner are also easy to get along with. The old men of the academy stand in a line."

Spike Lee said suddenly, "One Matthew Horner and one 'Spartan 300' are not enough."

"Huh?" James Jackson wondered.

"I'll drag in the heavier people." Spike-Lee obviously had an idea. "I've been upset with him for a long time."

He briefly explained it to his agent, and James Jackson thought about it and expressed his objection, but at Spike Lee's insistence, he could only helplessly remain silent in the end.

Jada Smith's career is immortal and can only exist in the form of Mrs. Smith. James Jackson's greatest hope is Spike Lee, a freedom fighter.

James Jackson discussed many details with Spike Lee, and then left Spike Lee's studio to continue working on the project.

Spike-Lee put away the newspaper, asked the female assistant to make another cup of coffee, and sat in front of the computer screen at the desk.

Although he is nearly fifty years old, he has been learning to use computers and the Internet in order to better carry out his work. He simply read the relevant news of "Three Hundred Spartans" on the Internet. The reputation of this film is simply overwhelming. It's the difference between ice and fire. The critics are bad, and the ordinary fans are inexplicably excited.

In this way, Spike-Lee stayed in the studio until the afternoon, and in the middle of the afternoon, we welcomed a reporter from the online edition of The Hollywood Reporter.

"Hello, Director Li."

It was a black journalist in his early thirties who shook hands with Spike Lee and said, "Can we get started?"

Like many people who can make a fortune in Hollywood, Spike-Lee also has a network of connections in the media, and he is a celebrity who has nothing to do and is also the favorite type of the major entertainment media.

Spike-Lee pushed a document prepared in advance to the black reporter across the desk and said, "Let's start."

The black reporter earned Spike-Lee's approval, first opened the recorder, put it on the desk, then took out the pen and notebook, and then glanced at the document, which only had a few questions.

These questions are the topic of today, but the black reporter still asked some other questions first, such as Spike-Lee's fun when filming "The Insider", whether there are new work plans and so on.

After just ten minutes, we finally got to the point.

"Director Li, I noticed that you went to the premiere of "Three Hundred Spartans"."

Looking at the questions on the document, the black reporter asked in his own way, "This film has over 100 million box office in its first weekend and set a series of records. What do you think of this phenomenon?"

The answer has long been drawn up, and Spike-Lee pretended to be deep and said, "The special effects of this film are okay. The other aspects are..."

He shook his head and continued, "From a distance, 'Three Hundred Spartans' is a commercial blockbuster, but from a closer look, it's an extremist propaganda film. It has strong social Darwinism, including eugenics, racial masculinity; glorification of male body shape, including rejection of homosexuality.”

The answer was beyond the expectations of the black reporter, and he asked subconsciously, "Can you elaborate?"

Spike-Lee would of course elaborate, "The Righteous are a bunch of Caucasian men who kill and abandon weak babies, all tall, handsome, and muscular~www.readwn.com~ Invincible, bright, and can't seem to find any flaws. , and their traitor is a severely deformed character. Look at the dark-skinned Middle Eastern people, they are stupid, ugly, mysterious and evil, and the king may even be intersex."

At this time, black reporters have realized that they are about to get big news.

"And..." Spike-Lee forcibly held back and didn't say his name directly, "Why are the many people killed by the male protagonist black? Do black people deserve to die? Or are they prejudiced against black people?"

In fact, there is only this problem in the document, and the rest is entirely up to Spike-Lee to play, "There are some bad things in Hollywood recently, not only "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", "The Banner of the Fathers" released at the end of October. There is also a trend in this direction.”

He lowered his glasses and said solemnly, "In this film by Eastwood, not only are there no black people holding the flag, but there is no important black character in the whole film. In his film, black soldiers are It doesn't exist at all, not even a black face can be seen in the film. This is not the era of slavery, does he know that? Why should the contribution of black soldiers in World War II be discredited?"

(Spike-Lee's public spat on Eastwood actually happened, and the spat was roughly the same as what I wrote.)
