"Any other news?"

Since the last golden retriever could leave at any time, he was not in a good mood, and he didn't sleep well last night. In fact, Wayne didn't really want to talk about work, but "The Matrix" had just started filming, and there were many things he didn't want to do. Maybe forget about it all.

After smoking a cigarette, he turned around and sat back on the wicker chair, reaching out and rubbing his forehead vigorously.

"One last thing." Nina sees all her boss's fatigue and irritability, but even if "The Matrix" is released in two weeks, there will be other movies to start, which is destined to be a summer release for Wayne. There's not much time to take a good rest.

Regardless of the results of Warner Bros.' projects during the summer, he will immediately start filming the second Batman movie. It can be said that work has occupied Wayne's entire 1996 year and will continue until the summer of 1997. It's possible to take a breath.

"What's up?"

Naomi Watts, wearing loose home clothes, walked over quietly, just in time to hear Nina's answer.

Finding that both of them were looking at her, the Australian actress showed a troubled expression and gestured with her white fingers in the direction of the crib behind her. "Our little Princess Greenberg will definitely be different from her father when she grows up. She will definitely be an active child. After struggling for so long, she finally fell asleep."

Nina looked at Wayne and found that he nodded inconspicuously, and then continued: "Some of Time Warner's actions are very useful. At least on the surface, this hot spot is formed because of orientation, and some people's speeches , and it makes agreeing and supporting this minority group a disguised form of political correctness.”

Wayne and Naomi Watts both understood the meaning and looked at the assistant lady together, waiting for her to continue.

"So." Nina frowned, obviously not agreeing with some of Warner Brothers' practices. "Early this morning, Lee, who was far away in Phoenix, was being interviewed by reporters before boarding the plane to leave. He hinted intentionally or unintentionally that he had come out. All this should be designed by Warner Bros. They need a bigger picture in the film. Controversial! But I never thought about Lee’s situation..."

The thing is obvious. With the popularity of "The Matrix" and the short-lived social trend of political correctness, no one will stand up and accuse Lee. But what about after the movie is released?

After this social trend passes, the living environment of their group will still not change much, and they will still have to live in the eyes of the crowd.

"He clearly announced that he came out?" Although Wayne didn't care much, he still asked one more question.

"No." Nina shook her head. "But enough hints have been given. I don't know how the media will interpret it."

"That's fine, it's good for The Matrix"

According to the rules summarized by Hollywood production companies, the greater the controversy a movie causes, the higher the box office will usually be. Countless cases have proven that this path is correct before or in the years to come.

No matter what, "The Matrix" is an original R-rated film, and its audience is naturally only that large. So if you want to get more box office and attract more people to nearby stores, you must use some extraordinary means.

And taking this opportunity again to ignite greater controversy and let people discuss it longer is obviously the right thing to do. What's more, now that there is some vague political correctness endorsement, Warner Bros. can use so many resources to invest, and it will definitely see more profits.

"Political correctness is very powerful..."

"What?" Naomi Watts didn't hear his muttering clearly and looked over with wide eyes.

"fine."

Hollywood's traditional method has always been to play with any politically correct values ​​​​for the sake of film profits. More than ten years later, this method has been frequently used.

Don't think that the Big Six are fools. The reason why later movies became so deformed is simply because they can sell tickets and make money. Whether you say it's off track or distorted, in fact it works so well every time.

For example, "The Eternals" had black actors kneeling on the ruins of the Hiroshima nuclear explosion to repent. Not only domestically, but also North America was criticized. In line with the slogan that 100 million people were shattered, wasn't it them? You went to the weeping grave in Hiroshima, so our Pearl Harbor is just a piece of broken tiles, and the bombing is in vain?

This section is purely to cater to the political correctness of Our Lady of the White Left, but the result seems to be an overturn. Even if you put aside this plot, if you have watched this film, you will find that there are actually many designs in which the director and the producer worked together to use political correctness.

For example, some of the male heroes in the original work were changed to female, forming a 50-50 team of male and female heroes, which fully demonstrated what is meant by the idea of ​​equal rights between men and women.

Chinese, Korean, Pakistani, African and other actors were recruited to participate in the show, fully taking care of the feelings of ethnic minorities. The hero played by an African-American actor is a Guy, which perfectly caters to the LGBT community. Hiring African-American actresses to play superheroes takes the disabled community into consideration.

It once made countless viewers wonder, are you making a movie or stacking buffs? He joked that the team formed by this group of people should not be called the Eternals at all, but rather called the Political Correctness Alliance.

But when the film came out at the box office, no matter how controversial it was, Walt Disney was all smiles. This figure of US$401 million can fully guarantee that Disney will make a lot of money through complete upstream and downstream operating channels.

It doesn't matter whether it is politically correct or not. Anyway, as long as it can generate enough revenue, the production company will continue to play.

There are many situations like this. After Dwayne Johnson's "Skyscraper" was released in 2018, he was wildly attacked by a group of disabled actors. They said that Johnson is a person with able-bodied limbs, so why should he play an independent character in the movie? Leg soldier? This role should belong to a truly disabled person.

This is like saying that someone who plays a corpse must die first, but Johnson, as a good old Hollywood man, did not say anything, but said that he would listen to these opinions carefully.

However, in the American version of "The Intouchables", the "Old White" who played the disabled person was not so easy to talk to. He said straightforwardly, "I am a lucky and rich old straight white man, so do I have nothing?" The right to play poor, unlucky or gay? In fact, let alone the unlucky guy, he even played the role of a contraband dealer very well.

Regarding this kind of attack, the widowed sister actually has the most say. Back then, she gave up the opportunity to play a transgender protagonist because she couldn't stand the attacks from sexual minorities.

Therefore, under the political correctness of Hollywood more than ten years later, it is actually very difficult not to be scolded. "Gone with the Wind" was criticized for being suspected of racial discrimination and was removed from the shelves. The creators of "Friends" sincerely apologized for the fact that the main cast was all white.

"Dunkirk" was criticized because of the lack of African-American characters. The most outrageous thing is "La La Land". The reason why it was criticized was, why are all Los Angeles heterosexuals? !

This is all about standing on the moral high ground and shooting wildly with Gatling's blue fire. As long as there are enough reasons, no one can dodge the bullets of political correctness.

Finally, if you carefully summarize it, you will find that Hollywood is crazy about political correctness. Why? Is it really to show your inclusiveness? how can that be possible. In Hollywood, whether it is a production company or a special group of people, their entire life is to make money.

To put it bluntly, no matter who uses political correctness as a means, the purpose is to cater to certain groups, but when it comes to the capital group they belong to, the production company will not mention it at all.

In Bangzi's movies, the underworld government officials are absolutely politically correct. Whether it is "The Monster of the Han River", "Flu" or "The Tunnel", those officials are all exposed. The movie "The King" even exposed scandals about seven presidents in a row.

But, you let them try to hack Samsung? This situation is absolutely impossible. North America follows the same path. Since the 1980s and 1990s, the conquest of the Black Federation has been the greatest form of political correctness, but there will never be a Black Media Group.

"Boss, what is this?"

While Wayne was in a daze, Nina found more than half of the things written on the typewriter after she finished talking about the business. Her questioning voice also woke up the lost boss.

Without waiting for Wayne to answer, Naomi Watts hugged the golden retriever who had just woken up happily, her eyes full of sentimental emotions, and said: "That is a story specially written by Wayne in memory of Fendi. He wanted Fendi to be remembered forever. It’s so romantic, isn’t it?”

"ah?"

Nina didn't expect such an answer and was suddenly stunned. I simply picked up most of the manuscript I had written earlier. "Can I see it?"

"Of course, just take a look." Wayne shrugged. This was just something he made casually during the two days when he accompanied the golden retriever on his last journey. It is not certain whether it will be photographed in the end.

"A dog's mission?" the assistant muttered, carefully sorting out a pile of printing paper and looking at the first page. "I hope you won't write the protagonist as a dark, bloodthirsty, or dirty and chaotic psychopath..."

There was no way, as long as it was a script produced by her boss, the protagonist or theme of the story would all revolve around social issues and human nature, and bloody violence was an indispensable element. She doubted it before she even started watching it. This must be another movie. A story not suitable for women.

Time advanced slowly, and when Nina raised her head again, the scorching sunshine in Los Angeles had set, and a red sunset appeared on the horizon. Naomi Watts left the balcony and was entertaining the little princess with her nanny.

What appeared in front of her was another scene that was not very real. Wayne was sitting on the floor, with the big head of golden retriever Fendi lying in his arms. One person and one dog were bathing in the sunset, exuding at the same time An emotion called reluctance.

Just when Nina couldn't help but want to ask about the ending of the story, Wayne, who was holding the golden retriever, suddenly spoke. "Fendy is leaving. Tell Sergey to help me dig a hole next to his brother so that the two of them can stay together."
