Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh black and white battle

The news hall of the Warner Building was crowded with hundreds of media reporters gathered together. As a black reporter, Christine looked at the starring actors in the interview seat and felt a little dazzling, but she didn't feel very comfortable no matter how she looked. The non-yellow and white skin color had touched her sensitive nerves.

Needless to say, the old Star Wars Iron Triangle Mark Hamil Kelly Fisher and Harrison Ford, they are standard white people, and among the three new starring actors, none of them are black.

When did Latinos and Chinese have higher status in Hollywood than blacks? They are not worthy of such a role at all!

"This is Daisy Ridley..."

In the flashing lights that keep turning on, Robin Grand officially introduced the media to the media to the starring role of the three dimensions, "This is Daniel Wu, this is Oscar Isaac..."

Although there have been rumors that the first protagonist of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a woman, Duke, the crew and Lucasfilm have never made any positive responses, but the way the three new star actors stand up has revealed this to the media.

Daisy Ridley stood in the middle, and the tall and handsome Daniel Wu stood on her left hand, obviously a Latino Oscar Isaac stood on his right hand.

Like the old Star Wars Iron Triangle Mark Hamil Kelly Fisher and Harrison Ford, Daisy Ridley Daniel Wu and Oscar Isaac form the new Iron Triangle.

The focus of media reporters is all these three people. Although these three people were only unknown actors in North America before, media reporters know that now they have taken the super express train of Duke Rosenberg and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", and becoming famous is inevitable.

Compared to the crazy reporter, the black female Christine doesn't catch a cold about them, and her eyes are always aimed at Duke Rosenberg standing in the corner. There have been rumors in the circle that this super-great Hollywood director has never liked black actors very much. She wants to ask if there is racial discrimination in the casting of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".

This is a very sensitive topic, and there is not a single black actor standing on it. If Duke Rosenberg cannot give an explanation...

Thinking of this, Christine sneered, if Duke Rosenberg and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" were suspected of racism, she would be enough to create a super news that caused a sensation across the United States.

And she, the person who digs out the news, will definitely become famous in one battle.

In the previous interview, Christine remained silent until Duke Rosenberg took the stage and she seized the opportunity and snatched the right to ask questions.

Looking at the famous director on the small stage, Christine stood up and took the topic and asked straightforwardly, "Director Rosenberg, on the list of main actors in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", he can't see the name of a black actor. Do you have any objections to black actors?"

Duke had long thought of such a problem, looked at the black reporter and said slowly, "Of course not. The crew and I chose the most suitable actors."

Christine didn't give up and asked again, "But. Black..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Duke, "Ms., do you think I and the crew are suspected of racism?"

Perhaps it was the natural inferiority and sensitive glass heart attack, Christine said without thinking, "Yes, I think the crew of Star Wars: The Force Awakens are suspected of racism."

"Suspected racial discrimination?" Duke looked at the new iron triangle and couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm.

The other reporters looked at the three starring actors in the stands, and their eyes were also full of mockery when they looked at Christine.

Duke keenly noticed these subtle changes in the News Hall. He couldn't help but say loudly, "All the time, my team and I have advocated justice, freedom and equality. We treat any actors who participate in the audition. There are also a large number of black actors participating in the audition and other aspects of "Star Wars: The Force Awakening", but in the selection of the three main roles, my team and I have chosen the most suitable three people..."

Speaking of this, he looked at the three starring actors and said one by one, "Daisy Ridley from the UK, Chinese actor Danny Wu, and Oscar Isaac, born in Guatemala."

Christine suddenly realized that she was only thinking about black people, but instead ignored the origins of the two male actors.

Even she knew that blacks had a higher status in North America and Hollywood than Chinese and Latinos. It was impossible for Daniel Wu and Oscar Isaac to become the crew starring, and criticizing Duke Rosenberg and his project for suspected racial discrimination.

But Christine is still unwilling to accept it. Oscars should have a black man, and Hollywood’s super-large projects should also have a black man. If there are no blacks, it is discrimination!

She wanted to speak, but the microphone was taken away in time.

Duke will not leave any talk, especially the performance awards and director awards on this year's Oscar nomination list are all white, which once again triggers protests from black people, and will not leave black people the opportunity to create topics.

"Daisy Ridley Daniel Wu and Oscar Isaac became the starring roles of the film because of their efforts, not the complexion!"

Compared to just now, Duke was completely lying, but no one could refute, "Their talent and hard work are worthy of the actor contract they signed. If the crew and I do not choose the best performers in the audition, but black actors, can this be understood as unfairness and racial discrimination against them?"

Christine pursed her lips tightly. After this period of buffering, she gradually got rid of the glass-hearted state deeply embedded in her heart. Looking at Danny Wu and Oscar Isaac, she knew that these two people existed, and the so-called suspicion of racial discrimination was impossible.

Duke's words began to become tough, "I chose actors because of their efforts and acting skills, not other things! If an actor is black or white, he should get the role in my film. That is real discrimination and it is against the fairness, equality and freedom we have always advocated reads;."

After saying this, Duke handed over the microphone to Robin Grande and no longer answered any questions.

Danny Wu and Oscar Isaac suddenly slapped their palms, as if Duke's words were completely spoken in their hearts. Then more people in the news room slapped their palms, especially those white Asian and Latino journalists, who slapped their palms so loudly, as if they were using this method to fight back at the black journalists who had been on the string for more than a month.

Since the list of nominations for this year's Oscars were announced, blacks have not received any heavyweight nominations, they have been fed up with these people's protests, glass hearts and paranoia of victimization.

Due to the related issues encountered at the press conference, Duke then paid special attention to the controversy about this Oscar.

Less than half a month left before this year's Oscars, the debate that started after the list of shortlists is still escalating. Since "Georgia" has long been filmed by Duke, the past year is definitely the Little Year of the North American Film Awards Season. The Oscar shortlist is a movie that is "qualified or above, good or not" to support the scene. However, this lackluster annual summary once again triggered a "big discussion on the issue of Hollywood truth."

Among these heavyweight individual nominations for Best Supporting Actress Best Supporting Actress Best Actor Best Actor Best Director Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay, none of them are black.

The glass heart of the black group and the Oscar-spoken nominations that were abusive in the past few years are racism. It is conceivable what kind of reactions this situation will trigger black actors and black organizations.

However, Duke's words at the press conference weakened the black protest voices. After all, Latinos or Asians were nominated for these awards. But what Duke did not expect was that the relevant protests or discussions did not end there, but instead developed in a deeper direction.

Soon, a targeted label appeared on social networking sites - the overly white Oscar.

The original "black and white dispute" quickly evolved into a wave of condemnation by various "weak" voices in Hollywood. Latino and Asian film workers accused that almost all people of color and minorities were marginalized by stereotypes; non-heterosexual directors and actors were angry about the neglect they suffered; finally, women in this industry were also angry: when talking about adjectives such as tolerance and diversity, can they first achieve equal pay for men and women? Do you dare to let more women enter the decision-making level?

The controversy aroused by skin color escalates into an equality movement that has penetrated the entire industry, and the quarrels have quarrels from North America to Europe, so that Obama and Hillary have come forward to express their opinions one after another. Obama is speaking politically correct words in a grand manner, such as "race and gender should not be the boundaries of careers." Hillary is sharper: "It is a big deal to argue like this, but the Oscar jury should also consider keeping pace with the times. Don't always stop women and minorities."

But senior figures in circles like Duke are actually very clear that not only the Oscar selection is monotonous, but the entire Hollywood is also so monotonous. Hollywood cannot achieve diversification unless the performance of middle-aged and elderly white men who monopolize the decision-making level exits.

It is not difficult for those who are interested to find that minorities are not only suppressed during the awards process, but they are on the edge and silent on the screen, and it is difficult to walk directly in front of the camera to make their own voices.

Usually, the roles they play are nothing more than psychic witches, nannies, best friends around the heroine, otakus who are not polite, rich and unkind Arab chiefs, villains, terrorists, young followers who are not good at accomplishing things, muscular men, and loyal and generous servants or deputys. In the end, they are the most decent roles.

The mainstream aesthetics of the entire Hollywood can be said to be white and straightforward. (To be continued.)
