Dream Pictures, interview scene.

"Alright, next Mr. Billy, please come in for an interview." Rabbit Bill shouted with the information.

A white man with a handsome haircut walked out, "Hey buddy, I'm Billy, can you tell me about it, what questions will you have later?" ”

Bill Bunny: "The questions are random, you just have to answer them carefully." ”

"Oh, damn it, asking is asking in vain!" Billy shrugged and walked inside.

Interview area.

"Your name is Billy, isn't it?" Yi Feiyang asked.

"Yes, man, my name is Billy, but you can call me Billy the Kid, it's a cool cowboy name!" The white guy said proudly.

"You're here for a job or something?"

"Male lead! Buddy! Don't you know what I'm looking like when you see me? Look at me, frowning like Alain Delon Stallone, crooked like Stallone, contemplative like Al-Pacino, angry like Robert De Niro, and ah, my girlfriend said that when I was looking ahead with my chin in my hand, I most looked like the actor Marlon Brando! "The white guy is constantly changing his posture and expression, and he looks like a superstar.

Yi Feiyang felt that this guy had been born decades earlier, and it was completely funny material on "America's Got Talent", so when he thought of this, he immediately put a tick on his personal file.

"Ahem. What you said is good, your appearance conditions are very good, so I want to know why you will come to the interview? Yi Feiyang asked with the information in his hand.

"Does that need to be said? For fame, of course! The white guy was very frank, "I read your introduction, man, aren't you going to do three plays?" Ha, three plays, at least one will suit me very well! Anyway, I thought it was an opportunity, so it came. ”

"So you mean, you want to be the male protagonist of these three plays?"

"Of course!" The white guy shrugged, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!" Similarly, an actor who doesn't want to be the protagonist is by no means a good actor! Pick me, yes! ”

I'm very confident.

Yi Feiyang ticked another tick in the corresponding blank column above the information.

"Hehe, it's right to be confident...... But it's not easy to be the leading actor, after all, there are a lot of people competing for this position, I want to know Lu Dao, compared to them, what are your specialties? Yi Feiyang asked.

"Me? Haven't you seen that yet, man? I'm handsome enough, that's my specialty! ”

"If handsome is also a specialty, then fat is also an advantage!" Yi Feiyang smiled and glanced at the fat man Jack next to him.

Jack Black gave him a blank look: "This joke is not funny at all. ”

"So what else would you do besides being handsome?" Yi Feiyang couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm still going to ...... Well, I hosted a talk show when I was in college, and I think I have a good mouth, yes, I think, it's my strength, at least as an actor, you have to be able to speak well, right?! ”

Yi Feiyang nodded, "You're right, friend. Okay, I'll ask the last question, if you were asked to play a supporting role, would you be willing? ”

"Supporting roles? Oh my God, I'd love to be the main character, but if it's a supporting role...... I'm willing to accept it, too! The white guy thought for a moment, and behaved very sincerely.

"Well, congratulations, Billy Kid, you've been chosen!"

"Oh God, thank you so much!"

……

"What's your name, please?" Yi Feiyang asked the next interviewee.

The interviewer was a rude-looking guy with a big waist and a round waist, and he rubbed his nose vigorously and said, "You can call me Quinn." ”

"Quinn, yes? What are your strengths? ”

"Specialty?" Quinn pursed his lips and foamed at the mouth.

Yi Feiyang frowned and put a cross on the information.

"Well...... I'm very good at kung fu in bed, does that count? ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I think you may have gone to the wrong door, we want a DV male protagonist, not an AV male actor!"

"What do you mean......"

"I mean you can get out of the way."

"Oh, shit! Don't regret it, even if you invite me when I'm popular, I won't come! Quinn roared.

……

"Hey, your name is Katie, isn't it?" Yi Feiyang looked at the personal file in his hand and asked a black girl.

"Yes, my name is Katie Alice." The black girl's hair is combed into many small braids and hangs down on the door of the head, which is very distinctive.

"It says you're a graduate of the University of California's Department of Drama Performance, but how did you come to us to apply?" Yi Feiyang looked at the black girl in front of him suspiciously, both in appearance and condition. In Yi Feiyang's opinion, a professional material like her can find roles in other film companies.

The black girl shrugged, "See, dear sir, just because I'm black." ”

Yi Feiyang didn't understand for a while, and Bill the rabbit next to him whispered, "Hollywood still discriminates against black actors." ”

Yi Feiyang was stunned, but he didn't have the impression that this was the case, as if many Hollywood blockbusters had black actors to help.

"Choose her, it's only good for us, no harm." Bill suggested.

Yi Feiyang didn't have time to think about what to do, and after simply asking some necessary questions, Yi Feiyang carefully ticked the form.

The black girl was hired.

……

Time flies.

After about a busy morning, Yi Feiyang only selected two or three more suitable actors and actresses from the long queue, and the rest were all passed on the spot.

During the break, Yi Feiyang was sorting out the interview materials in his hand, and Bill Rabbit came over with a cup of coffee, handed it to him and said, "Have a cup, refresh." ”

Yi Feiyang smiled and suddenly asked, "Why do you suggest that I choose that black girl?" ”

Bill smiled, "Don't you understand Hollywood?" How do you say it in the words you Chinese, I want to be a bitch and I want to build a torii...... Yes, that's what it means. Hollywood looks glamorous and has equal opportunities, but the treatment and gap between white stars and black stars is even more obvious than the black spots on Marilyn Monroe's face! ”

"Yes, man. Hollywood is like that, black actors have a hard time coming out unless they kiss Lady Luck on the toes, or want to be the next Eddie Murphy, Denzel Washington, or Will Smith, harder than going on an expedition to Mars! ”

Immediately after, Bill Rabbit told Yi Feiyang in great detail about the history of black actors on the Hollywood side.

Due to identity issues, most of the colored people in early American films played the opposite role in the film. In the 30s of the 20th century, black characters began to move away from a single negative face, and some loyal servant characters appeared. In the 60s of the 20th century, with the rise of the civil rights movement in the United States, the number of films reflecting social themes gradually increased. As a chronic disease of American society, racial issues have also begun to be noticed by filmmakers and have been repeatedly put on the screen.

In 1980, Ronald W. Reagan was elected president of the United States by a landslide defeating Carter. The president was an actor for 28 years, and perhaps it was the good fortune he brought that brought Hollywood into a period of prosperity that was even more glorious than in the 30s of the last century. This period was a period of Hollywood blockbuster heroes, which led to the emergence of a number of well-known superstars such as Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc. Most of their movies have a very clear opposition between good and evil, the heroes in the films are full of righteousness, wisdom and bravery, and the final result is often that the American hero defeats the alien bastard, or even the United States saves the whole world, with a full atmosphere of great power chauvinism. And like previous action stars, these men are all white.

Of course, American filmmakers also noticed the racist tendencies in the film and resorted to a rather clumsy remedy, with white and black action actors in the role. A pioneer in this regard was 1982's 48 Hours, in which white actor Nick Nolte and black actor Eddie Murphy worked together to complement each other. After that, this kind of "black and white" almost became the standard paradigm of action movies, and in later films such as "The Great New York Robbery", people saw a combination of "black" and "white" action stars.

After listening to Bill the Rabbit's narration, Yi Feiyang understands that Hollywood is really a bitch. Although black actors have gradually gained some status on the big screen, for most black people, it is very difficult to have filming, Yi Feiyang seemed to have the voice of the black girl just now in his ears again, "Why will I come here to apply, instead of going to those big movie companies?" Because I'm black. ”

"Now, my dear boss, do you understand why I'm suggesting you keep that black girl? Blacks account for 12.4% of the total population in the United States, or more than 36 million. In the future, if our films want to occupy the box office in North America, black audiences must be wooed, so having a few more black people in the play will only be good for us, and there is no harm. Rabbit Bill said slyly.

Yi Feiyang couldn't deny it, because he suddenly thought of another question at this time: Since blacks are so difficult to mix in Hollywood, what about Chinese?!

I remember well, this year happens to be the year when Hong Kong superstars Cheng Long and Li Lianjie entered Hollywood at the same time, one of them filmed "Rush Hour" and the other filmed "Boom 4". In particular, Li Lianjie, known as the "Emperor of Kung Fu", can only play a sinister and vicious drug ~ trafficker who was killed by a white hero in the play......

Isn't the sorrow of black people in Hollywood the sorrow of Chinese people in Hollywood?!

Yi Feiyang was silent.

(Because the background is locked, the update is a little late, I'm sorry everyone!) Today's two shifts, the first one is delivered. ）
