Chapter 1107: The Authorities Are Confused
Seeing that public opinion on the Internet is becoming more and more unfavorable to Layla, Cooper regrets the stupid things he did two years ago. It's long overdue, and I've wasted so much time on my own. Even though he made a lot of money by investing in movies, that money had nothing to do with his half a dime.
Fortunately, he had finally found the right way, and now he wanted to see what else she could do to escape from the great net he had weaved! It was a web full of barbs, and if he tried to escape, he would only be scarred and bleeding from those barbs.
The outside world spread the rumor, and gradually even foreign countries began to pay attention to this matter. The low status of women in the film industry is not just a thing that happens in the United States, almost any country will be treated the same.
If this is sexism, people in some countries really don't agree with it. Many of them believe that men can get more when they give more. Let's talk about those commercial movies, almost all of them are movies with big male leads, and there are few or almost no types of female protagonists.
Why is this happening? In the final analysis, it's money that makes a fuss. There are many people who watch movies with big male leads, men like to watch them, and women also like to watch them, so they have a big advantage at the box office.
The heroine movie is a different situation, if it is a love type chick movie, women like to watch it, and some couples also like to watch it. But men are still in the minority after all, and women don't look too hard.
Just look at the box office, don't say anything else, just look at the list on the box office list in film history, how many films with big heroines can you find along the way?
The actor has a lot of box office appeal, so he should get a little more money, why should he put this kind of thing on sexism?
It can be said that this understanding cannot be miscalculated. But is the big heroine's film really so unlovable?
In fact, it's not like that, the main thing is that the film industry is still dominated by men, and they have created movies with big male protagonists, and they don't care about the big heroine at all. Unless they can see with their own eyes that the big heroine film can get a high box office.
At the beginning, after Lyla's "Kill Bill" was released, there was also a small craze for big heroine movies, and even "Catwoman" was filmed in advance. As a result, as in history, all the pants were lost in the streets. And then that little craze disappeared quietly.
There is a similar situation in the East, where men are paid about a third more than women at the same level. But one of the benefits of them is that they are particularly receptive.
The most intuitive point is that few Westerners like Eastern movies, television, and stars. Because to them, Asians all look the same, and they can't recognize who is who at all, let alone understand the plot.
But Oriental people are different, they like to watch Eastern actors, and Western actors also like to watch. What black and white, as long as the plot is good, they can all accept it.
It seems like a bit of a stretch, but it's certain that Lyra's story will inevitably have a worldwide impact.
Interestingly, countries and regions outside the U.S. are nowhere near as influential as U.S. networks. It's not that people don't care about it, it's that they find this really boring.
There is an old saying in the East that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
The Americans who are caught in the whirlpool have been so confused that they can't see the direction clearly, but the onlookers and melon-eating people in other countries can see it very clearly, and they are still anxious for the Americans.
What is wrong with Leila's films? After making ten movies in ten years, winning countless awards, and grossing tens of billions at the box office alone, how can she not be called a great person? Why can't she be called a living legend?
Is there a second director who has been able to achieve such great things in 10 years since the film was invented?
Which of the films she won the award didn't deserve that trophy? When she was younger, she missed out on a lot of the trophies she deserved because of her age, and that was discrimination against her, okay? It's ridiculous to think that Americans actually think of her as an award thief.
Of all the countries, the East is probably the one that likes Leila the most. Every time her film comes here, she receives the warmest welcome, and even other big directors and stars in Hollywood have not been treated the same way as her.
Don't forget that she has been to the Spring Festival Gala, and some older middle-aged and elderly people have also heard her name, and they also know that she is a Hollywood director who is very good at making movies.
Young people like her even more, and it's not just her, Roy also has a huge fan base here. After all, in this world of looking at faces, how can anyone dislike that face?
Seeing that Leila has been slandered so much, the fans on the eastern side are not happy.
"The United States doesn't want Laila, we want her, let her come to the East! You can shoot whatever you want, as many people as you want, and the most important thing is that we won't make those messy things here!"
"What's the fuss? Obviously, I've been framed. ”
"It's like, it must be someone who is jealous of Leila who is making this kind of thing and wants to hit her reputation. It's not that I haven't seen her movies as good as they are. I really don't know what's so fussed. ”
Oriental people often say that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The result of a large population is that it is not uncommon to have such a thing as intrigue, and even Taizu has said that it is endless fun to fight with others, which shows that when it comes to playing conspiracy, the Oriental people are definitely at the level of the ancestors. Therefore, like what happened to Lyra, anyone who understands the situation and cares about things in Hollywood can tell the truth.
They like Leila, not only because she has attended the Spring Festival Gala and made many movies that they like to watch, but also because of her understanding of oriental culture. Oriental people have always had a good impression of foreigners who can speak Oriental dialect, and even if they can only say "hello, thank you", they will get a lot of kind care.
And Leila is not just a person who can speak a few words, the person who speaks in the spoken language, closes her eyes and does not look at her face, will definitely regard her as a native authentic Oriental, therefore, the people here in the East like her very much.
Not only that, but she also put the movie "The Lord of the Rings", which can be marked with classic symbols in film history, to shoot in the East, so that the beautiful landscapes of the East can appear in front of audiences all over the world. It also broke the prejudice that Hollywood would only find Oriental actors to play some fleeting roles, so that Oriental actors could show more of their acting skills in her movies.
Such a "foreigner", how can you make the Oriental people not like her? They all feel sorry for her when they are accused of so many unfairness.
