Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 309: Resisting the White People
The reporter named Baker finally gave in under the intimidation of the court and the private financial offensive, and confessed the mastermind who instructed him to frame Tang De.

In fact, it was not surprising to Tang De that it was the Weinstein brothers.

They have always hated Donde, believing that it was Donde who manipulated a series of events and sent Harvey to prison.

The two people didn't have much evidence, but some things didn't require evidence. After all, the Weinstein Company was in decline, and Tang De's Bernay Company was thriving.

So when Tang De learned the answer, he immediately found someone to leak it and used his own propaganda platform to throw dirty water on Bob Weinstein.

They had no evidence that Tang De got on the yacht, but Tang De had evidence that they got on the yacht.

Therefore, Bob Weinstein soon became the first guy on the list with solid evidence. When the public learned about it, they were very angry. They thought his brother Harvey was already a scumbag, but they didn't expect that his younger brother was also a scumbag.

Soon the public's anger spread to the Weinstein Company, and Bob Weinstein had to announce his resignation from the company and retreat behind the scenes.

As to whether he did some unknown obscene things after going to the island, he flatly denied it.

Anyway, in this situation, the only tactic is procrastination.

Amidst the clamor of public opinion, the 2016 Oscars announced its list of nominees.

Unfortunately, as soon as this list was released, it was immediately criticized by black people.

"This year's Oscars, no black actor was nominated for any acting Oscar. This is too bad. The Oscars are now dominated by white people."

After a female netizen complained on Twitter, she also attached a hashtag, #OscarsSoWhite.

She thought it was just a way for her to vent and wouldn't attract any attention, but she didn't expect the tag to become popular.

A large number of black groups followed this label and started to attack the Oscars, criticizing the old white men who won the Oscars.

"Hollywood loves to make sequels, so they did it again this year."

"Oscar's old white guy has such high levels, it's disgusting."

“Kill off half of the Oscar judges and the rest will still be white.”

"I think white people are the main culprits holding the Oscars back. We need a diverse world!"

Similar criticisms continued to grow on Twitter, and even the Oscars could not sit idly by.

The Oscars soon made a statement, saying that by 2020, the number of judges for women and minorities will be doubled.

But such a statement is just an empty promise, and the condemnation from black people continues.

At the same time, many stars and directors were asked by reporters about their thoughts on the label that the Oscars are too white. Jada Pinkett Smith publicly stated that the Oscars have the right to award awards to people they recognize, but people of color are "dignified people" and there is no need to "beg for recognition." She also said that she would neither participate in nor watch the Oscars this year.

This attitude led her husband Will Smith to announce a boycott of the Oscars.

Other black stars are also asked about their opinions on the Oscars being too white label in various occasions, such as Will Smith's friend, Marlon Wayans. He complained on the Daily Show: "Don't ask me about the Oscars being too white anymore. I'm tired of being asked about it everywhere I go."

Then he joked, "You have to understand the super fighting power of black women when they defend their men. When Jaden saw that Will was not mentioned this year, he was so angry that he boycotted it directly. Will had to stand up as well."

In fact, Will Smith also complained to Tang De privately that he didn't want to boycott directly, because it would be more difficult to win awards in the future. But there was no way, his wife was the first to take the lead in causing trouble, and he must take care of his wife's feelings.

In addition to the boycott by black stars, Spike Lee and Mark Ruffalo, also known as the Hulk, also announced a boycott of the Oscars.

But Mark Ruffalo soon contradicted himself and said he was going again.

In addition, many white people’s speeches were also criticized.

Charlotte Rampling said that the boycott was sexist against white people, which caused fierce criticism from the black community and made her a little autistic. Tang De heard that she had been partying for three consecutive days and had been drinking to relieve her sorrow.

Michael Caine, the respected old man, said that you cannot vote for an actor just because he is black. There are many black actors now, and they must first give good performances.

This is true, but the timing is clearly wrong.

Therefore, the black community also directly criticized this old man, believing that he was defending white people and discriminating against black people's acting skills.

And there is Julie Delpy, this silly woman who said that being a woman has a harder time than black people in Hollywood, which directly attracted a lot of data attacks. Many black people listed the number of times actresses and female staff won awards at the Oscars every year, and took out their trump card, saying that if you can't win the Oscar for Best Actress, it's not because you are discriminated against, but maybe just because you are not good enough.

This undoubtedly broke the defense. Tang De heard that Julie Delpy was so angry that she fought with the family dog ​​that day.

Of course, he himself was asked a lot of questions about black people.

However, Tang Detong answered with one sentence: "I shot the first Hollywood superhero movie with a black protagonist, and I wrote the script."

This one sentence killed the game directly, not to mention that his next film will also have a black person as the protagonist, so it’s okay to say that other white people discriminate against black people, but to say that Tang De discriminates is completely groundless.

Amidst such noisy noise, the Oscars were held as scheduled.

Prior to this, Tang De had submitted Night Crawler to Cannes and many other first-level film festivals.

The opportunity he has been waiting for has arrived. To win an Oscar again, one needs the right time, the right place, and the right people. Now he has both the right time and the right place.

The only problem is the people, that is, the 2017 winners.

But Tang De was not troubled by this matter, because he had already taken the initiative to invest in the movie "Moonlight Boy" and obtained the distribution rights of "Moonlight Boy".

This was not a difficult task for him because the crew of "Moonlight Boy" was very poor and could not resist the temptation of Tang De's money.

Therefore, the two films that currently have the potential to win Oscars are both under the Norton Eye. Tang De plans to wait until next year to release "Moonlight Boy" to compete with "The Shape of Water" for the Oscar for Best Picture.

After finishing all these, Tang De instructed Bernay Company to start public relations work.

In fact, with the increasing diversity, Oscar public relations work is becoming increasingly difficult, because those who advocate diversity are more tricky.

In a few years, when the atmosphere of political correctness becomes pervasive, public relations will become even more difficult.

Therefore, Tang De has already set his sights on expanding his overseas business and helping other countries win Oscars.
