Chapter 446 The Right to Define Aesthetics
In fact, during the press conference, another reporter asked a question about the use of black actors.

It is well known that due to special historical reasons, the black actor group in Hollywood is usually very united and special, and is usually granted certain privileges.

Carrying the label of racial discrimination, ordinary film companies and directors really can't afford to offend these black actors.

So when watching Hollywood movies, you will often find a phenomenon, or even a spectacle: there will be an important black character in the plot, usually a positive one, playing an important role.

Or he can play a funny role and bring some comedy to the film with his unique black humor.

The black characters in the "Fast and Furious" series and Chris Tucker in the "Rush Hour" series have similar positioning.

As for a black actor as popular as Will Smith, he has already broken away from the positioning of a black actor. To be able to become a Hollywood A-list star, Will Smith himself is quite extraordinary.

So the question is, why are there basically no black actors in Gilbert Jr.'s films in recent years? Is this discrimination against black actors?
Of course, the reporter was asked to leave by the press officer before he could finish his question.

But this problem is still spreading among the black actor community, and Gilbert Jr. is suspected of discriminating against black actors.

They tried to make a big deal out of the issue, only to find that almost all Hollywood film companies and mainstream media didn't care about their protests and complaints at all.

At Sky Studios, David Ellison and Michael Ovitz had just returned from the set of Van Helsing.

The filming of "Van Helsing" is now progressing well and should be able to catch up with next summer's schedule. David Ellison is very confident that he can compete with Gilbert Jr. in the summer schedule.

Of course, he had heard about the recent dissatisfaction of black actors in Hollywood with Gilbert Jr., so he asked Michael Ovitz: "Can we mobilize some media to hype this matter?"

Michael Ovitz disagreed and vetoed: "David, this is not right. This is a very unreasonable accusation. If we stand up, Disney and Warner will target us."

David Ellison thought so too. Faced with the siege of two media giants, even if his father Larry Ellison came, he would have to retreat, let alone him.

But David Ellison felt it was a pity to give up this opportunity.

If Gilbert Jr. could be labeled a racist, even if it doesn't ruin his reputation, it would at least split a part of his fan base.

But unfortunately, the two powerful media groups, Disney and Warner, protected little Gilbert, and the Hollywood Squid Club was deeply rooted.

Ordinary public opinion events have no impact on little Gilbert at all.

When his agent Sheena Boone said that the black community in Hollywood was dissatisfied with Gilbert Jr. recently, Gilbert Jr. felt that he was still innocent.

"You said I didn't use black actors in recent years?" Little Gilbert was speechless: "No, why did The Lord of the Rings use black actors? Did they use some black elves?"

"Isn't it possible to use Pirates of the Caribbean? Black people were still slaves during that time. Wouldn't they be even more angry if this was filmed?"

People say that Americans have a bad history, but Scarlett is okay, as she actually knows the bloody history of black people.

Sheena Boone smiled and said, "Indeed, Scarlett is right. I think you don't need to pay attention to this matter. Someone will naturally speak for you."

Little Gilbert shrugged his shoulders. Indeed, whoever pays attention to such stupid remarks will be embarrassed, so just ignore it.

As a result, the mainstream media collectively ignored the demands of the so-called Hollywood black community. Will Smith's wife, Jada Smith, let her husband take the lead.

As a result, Will Smith went up to Jada Smith and slapped her at home, leaving her stunned.

"You...you dare to hit me?" Jada Smith was like crazy. She went up to Will Smith and tried to scratch him, but was pushed to the ground by Will Smith.

Will Smith also loudly educated: "What's in your head every day? Didn't you see that even Spike Lee, that idiot, didn't dare to get involved in this? Do you want to kill me?"

Spike Lee is a famous black director in Hollywood. His works don't seem to be outstanding. But he became the leader of the black power in Hollywood because of the black equality movement in Hollywood.

But this time when the black group protested against Gilbert Jr., Spike Lee rarely stood up to lead them, but remained silent.

It can be seen that Spike Lee also knows who he can offend and who he cannot offend, and does not want to offend anyone.

Jada Smith is the type who has no brains. She is the typical black person who is dumb, uneducated, and uneducated. But Will Smith is different. He has brains.

Will Smith was hoping to work with Gilbert Jr. one day, so how could he offend Gilbert Jr. and stand up to speak for irrelevant black actors?
You know what, maybe in another twenty years, Will Smith won’t think this way, but by then black people will no longer be noble.

After all, twenty years later it will be a diverse world with so many groups such as QTBGLIAPKDXUCS, so what are black people?
In short, when these black actors saw that little Gilbert was not easy to bully and he ignored them, they immediately changed their targets, and the other young directors were in trouble.

This is where Roger Ebert, a die-hard fan of Gilbert Jr., came into play, and he mentioned the recent events regarding black actors in Hollywood on his show.

Roger Ebert also mocked: "I doubt whether their IQ can function normally. I think that normal IQ functioning is a basic physiological function of being a human being, no matter who they are, even aliens."

As soon as this statement was made, the black gang in Hollywood immediately shifted their target and began to attack Roger Ebert. An actor who had been an actor in Hollywood for many years and was terminally ill with HIV said: "I think Roger Ebert's brain is broken. Any normal person knows how much we have contributed to Hollywood and this country."

Roger Albert did not give in: "What contribution did they make? Did they help Washington, Jefferson and others establish the United States, or did they help win the just World War II?
We are asking for equal rights and you are using them to gain privileges?"

Roger Ebert is right when he says this: most so-called equal rights groups are merely demanding privileges in the name of equal rights.

Just like the so-called boxers, they have gradually begun to rise in recent years.

What is the purpose of pursuing power? It is for the wealth, status, and good life that power brings.

Gilbert Jr. has power in Hollywood, so he has status, a yacht, a private jet, and several girlfriends and lovers.

But while power brings enjoyment, it also comes with responsibility.

For young Gilbert, he has to work hard every year, making movies and making business plans to maintain his empire of power.

Hollywood is a world where if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you think that you can sit back and relax and start enjoying life once you reach the top, you are totally wrong.

Little Gilbert once read a sentence that he thought made a lot of sense.

That statement refers to the fact that today's so-called groups that demand equal rights but also ask for privileges essentially just want to be a non-productive group that enjoys status and wealth directly without taking on the responsibilities of power.

So it is true that workers are the greatest. As long as it is legal, workers are great no matter what they do.

At the very least, these workers use their own hands to work hard to earn their own future, unlike some groups who do nothing but demand that society give them the best resources.

Sometimes, Gilbert really wants to ask these black groups and future diverse groups in the BBC's way: although doing this may bring short-term benefits, what is the cost?
Of course, the diversification of the future world is the result of the promotion of certain hidden capital groups and forces, whose purpose is to divide the lower world.

Disney Hollywood, where Gilbert Jr. works, will be a pioneer in this regard in the future.

As a shareholder of Disney and a member of Disney's board of directors, Gilbert Jr. felt that he needed to set things right. If not to restore order to the world, at least he had to ensure normal film aesthetics.

During his conversations with Robert Egger, Gilbert Jr. often promoted his aesthetic theories.

After this small-scale black protest, Gilbert Jr. found Robert Egger again.

Gilbert Jr. believes that the pursuit of beautiful things is something God has given to humans and is engraved in their genes. Therefore, when someone tries to break this aesthetic philosophy, it is defying God.

If this is said in China, it would probably be discussed from the biological perspective of pursuing beauty, but in Western society, God must be involved in order to appear correct.

Robert Iger was still confused: "Little Gilbert, which of our Disney movies' heroines don't meet your aesthetic standards?"

"No," Gilbert Jr. said, "I think it is because it conforms to our aesthetics that we need to value and protect it.

Bob, can you imagine a black mermaid?"

"A black mermaid?" Robert Egger imagined the scene and shuddered: "How could there be a black mermaid? Could it be a scavenger?"

"That's all. There's also a black Snow White, like this." Little Gilbert drew a sketch casually, which was exactly the same as the Juliet in a previous version of "Romeo and Juliet".

When Robert Iger saw the sketch, he felt physically sick: "This thing will never appear in our Disney."

"Really?" Little Gilbert expressed doubt.

"Of course," Robert Iger vowed, "If anyone dares to design such an image and destroy my Disney brand, I will kill him."

Little Gilbert has no recollection, but it seems that when Disney launched "Black Mermaid" in the previous life, Robert Iger was no longer the president of Disney.

The new president seems to be a diverse person whose gender is uncertain.

Now that Gilbert Jr. is at Disney, he must not allow such a person to become the president of Disney. This sounds like a supporter of the Elephant Party, but in fact, most people in Hollywood support the Donkey Party.

Little Gilbert doesn't want to support anyone, but if the Donkey Party forces him to diversify, Little Gilbert doesn't mind supporting the Elephant Party.

It is very difficult to stay out of trouble in this world. When you reach little Gilbert's position, it is even more difficult to cut off the symbols and shackles on yourself.

As the classic saying goes: politics is never far from Hollywood.
