Chapter 937: Girlfriends' Reunion

As we all know, popular singers are much busier than popular actors, Matthew can't remember how long he hasn't seen Taylor Swift, only that she has released albums one after another, made girlfriends one after another, and has openly and secretly fought with pop star Katie Perry on social networks, and has become a recognized country diva in the mouth of the media and music fans.

There is no need to ask, Matthew can also see very clearly that Taylor Swift and the team behind him have worked his original advice to the extreme.

Music and talent are the foundation, and publicity is the key.

Matthew looked at both sides of Taylor Swift, this should be Taylor Swift's girlfriend group, right?

Taylor Swift was an old acquaintance with Matthew, and she stretched out her arms to hug him, and at the same time leaned over and whispered, "I mobilized a lot of people to cheer you on." ”

Matthew patted her on the back, "Why don't you introduce your girlfriends?"

"Wait a minute. ”

Taylor Swift parted ways from Matthew, greeted both sides, pointed at Matthew and said, "I don't need to introduce him more, do I? ”

She first looked at a round-faced baby fat girl and introduced Matthew, "This is Selena Gomez, actress and singer. ”

Matthew shook her hand, "We've met at Disney." ”

"It was years ago. Selena Gomez responded with a smile, "I wanted to sign an autograph at the time, but I was timid. ”

When they were finished, Taylor Swift pulled a girl taller and thinner than her over, "This is Carly Krauss, a model who will be on Victoria's Secret's annual catwalk this year." ”

Matthew shook her hand, "You're so tall. ”

The girl wore flat shoes and was almost as tall as him.

Carly Klaus responded with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Taylor Swift brought in another girl dressed up a little ghostly, "This is Carla Delevei, also a model. ”

Matthew also shook hands with her and exchanged a few words, this girl's facial lines are very tough, probably a natural relationship, her eyes are very sharp, and there is a fierce look between her eyebrows.

This is a girl who is very characteristic in appearance and is very easy to remember.

Then, Taylor Swift introduced the remaining people one by one, Cara Delevue's sister Bobby Deleving, and the well-known rookie models Martha Hunter and Lily Donaldson.

After Matthew greeted these people one by one, it was easy to find out Taylor Swift's rule of creating a girlfriend group, and these people were not very old, but they had a certain reputation, and they were well-known among young people, but their fame would not surpass her, thus creating an embarrassing situation of anti-customer.

There is no doubt that these girlfriends must have been handpicked by the team behind Taylor Swift.

Although this girlfriend group is centered on Taylor Swift, the others don't completely revolve around her, and after saying hello to Matthew, the girlfriend group quickly moves to other places.

"You're amazing. Matthew said to Taylor Swift, who stayed, "pulling out a huge team so quickly." ”

Taylor Swift smiled a little proudly, "It's still your idea that is good, it can really attract a lot of attention." ”

Matthew looked at the somewhat exaggerated Carly Krauss, who was not far away, and asked, "Do you have a preference for models?"

Taylor Swift nodded, "Looks pleasing to the eye." Her tone changed suddenly, "I originally thought that being a singer would be difficult enough, but after reading their experiences, I realized that it is even more difficult to be a model." ”

Matthew nodded, "Each industry has its own difficulties, how can there be no effort behind the glamour." ”

At the end of last year, the news that three Eastern European supermodels, including Carolina Kokova, asked their old employer, NEXT Model Agency, for salaries made the fashion industry lively at the time, and the matter also involved the internationally famous magazine Vogue, also known as "Vogue" magazine.

This magazine, which sounds and looks like a fashion bible, can be owed for years even for $125 in photo shoots.

In the early years, people thought that modeling was still a glamorous profession, just like the vision of flight attendants in the seventies and eighties, when flight attendants became flight attendants, the next thing that made people change their thinking must be the modeling industry.

In recent years, much of the news about the modeling industry has revealed how vulnerable models are, and those underage models are treated far more than they imagined.

Carolina Kokova once told him that before she actually became a supermodel, when she met the top photographers in the industry with very poor professional ethics, lingerie photo shoots often turned into stripteases.

Matthew is also a man who uses the modeling ring as a predator, but compared to those who prey on underage models, people like him and Leonardo DiCaprio are definitely moral exemplars.

Taylor Swift suddenly said, "I have a concert in San Francisco next month, and I may come to Los Angeles for a few days after the show, and I'm going to have a big party, will you come to it?" she deliberately squeezed Matthew's eyes and lowered her voice, "The people I introduced to you just now will show up at the party." ”

Matthew touched his nose, it sounded pretty good, huh?

But remembering his work schedule, he said, "I don't necessarily have time, I might go to Australia next month." ”

"The Martian" will start filming in June, and the crew has already identified all the main actors, and he will go to the studio in Queensland, Australia, to prepare in advance with these actors.

Although this can be said to be an absolute male lead role, there are also several heavyweight roles that need to be rehearsed in advance.

Among them, the first to be identified was Lily Collins, who played the system operator and reactor technician in Ares 3, and then actors such as Sebastian Stan and Sean Bean also joined the crew.

The final role is confirmed as Mars Exploration Team Commander Melissa Lewis, who will be played by Jessica Chastain.

"So?" Taylor Swift was a little disappointed.

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "It's still early, and I'm not entirely sure, so I'll talk about it then." ”

Taylor Swift nodded slightly, "I'll call you again when my San Francisco concert is over, and we'll get together rarely." ”

"Good. Matthew added, "I'll wait for your call." ”

Taylor Swift seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, Katie Perry will be there too." ”

Matthew nodded, seeing that someone else was coming, to deal with someone else.

After the main creators of the "Hunger Games" crew entered the VIP room, Matthew beckoned everyone to the screening room, and the premiere began the most important screening session.

This is a dystopia-like story, whether it is the plot itself or the expression techniques used in the movie, there is nothing surprising or commendable, the film from makeup to costumes to the young, handsome and beautiful cast, just to attract the audience.

But I have to mention the idea that is really reflected in the film, a 'new feminist' perspective that has been rising in the film since the beginning of this century.

Since the 70s of the last century, there have been more and more stories in the Hollywood film industry that really care about and show the relationship between women and social life, among which the heroine finding an excellent job or a reliable and rich man to marry and have children is the biggest and most idealized theme.

So in the 90s, Hollywood female characters represented by Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz appeared as sweethearts and silly sisters, and pushed the fairy-tale romantic comedy films in which such characters are located to the highest peak of development.

But as the new millennium began, the social situation in North America took a new turn, with the rise of neo-feminism and other factors, the genre of characters and films became less and less popular, and with it, the rapid decline of Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz's status in Hollywood.

Historically, women have often had to choose between success and likability, and even in a society like North America, which claims to be free and fair, the media and the public don't like women who boast of their high accomplishments.

This situation has changed dramatically in the new millennium, especially in Hollywood, the most important propaganda front in the United States, which is producing more and more unconventional female characters in films.

Katniss in this film is portrayed as a strong, independent character who does not rely on men, and although a single character is far from becoming a trend, it is very much in line with the 'new feminist' view promoted by the current social environment.

Katniss has a brave heart that is completely different from traditional female characters, and a pair of athletic skills trained from a long period of hunting, so she not only participates in this cruel game in place of her sister, but also escapes with a bow and arrow and a stunt.

During the escape, Katniss was brave and resourceful, not only destroying the trap designed by the opponent, but also saving the male protagonist by the way, and finally helping the other contestants to free themselves as soon as possible.

With both wisdom and courage and a bit of luck, Katniss saved her life, gained fame and fortune, and more importantly, became the face of the world's class resistance, exuding a spirit of defiance and freedom.

Katniss not only struggled all the way to show off his independent and strong spirit, but also incited the freedom of the whole people with the blood of raising his hand in salute at the critical moment.

The new era needs new roles, and the vigorous development of the feminist movement also requires new spokespersons.

Such spokespersons may still be beautiful and sexy, youthful and beautiful, but they are never gentle and subservient to men, they can exude malice and gloom, they can be masculine and tough, they can believe and take on dreams, they can be desperate, play with layouts, shed blood and sweat, and even start a war or create a world like men.

Katniss's character caters to this trend.
