The impact of political correctness on the academy is huge, Spike Lee is sure of that, and there are so many examples in the past that there is even a well-established saying in the last two years of awards season that if you don't know what to do to prepare for next year's awards season, think about racism.

If he can become a racial exposer and a democracy fighter for equality and freedom before this awards season begins, coupled with the acclaim of the film itself in "The Insider," in the style of the old men of the academy......

Indeed, he didn't like Matthew Horner's bastard, and even hated it, especially seeing Matthew Horner walk hand in hand with Sofia Coppola into the Four Seasons Hotel.

But he didn't do so many things just to get revenge on Matthew Horner, and there were indeed some reasons for revenge on Matthew Horner, but more because there were huge benefits to be gained.

Oscar for Best Director...... How many Hollywood directors don't want to touch that little golden man? This is not only an honor, but it can also directly double the salary.

On top of that, it's a chance to go down in history!

So far, no black director in Hollywood has won the Oscar for Best Director.

After "The Insider" was released at the beginning of this year and exploded in word-of-mouth, Spike Lee had an idea about the Oscar for Best Director, so he put down his face and wanted to recover Sophia Coppola, and use the power and network of the Coppola family to impact the first black best director in history.

After becoming disillusioned with Sofia Coppola, he quickly found a second breakthrough, taking advantage of public opinion and the environmental situation in the circle to increase his weight as much as possible while maintaining a series of regular means of winning prizes.

There is a certain risk in this matter, but if it succeeds, the benefits cannot be described as huge, and even if it is not successful, in addition to wasting resources, it will not do much harm to him.

He will surely leave a glorious page in American history, become the leader of the black community in Hollywood, become the representative of all African Americans in the United States, and even become one of the most recognizable people of African descent in the world.

With such a name, do you still need to worry about profit?

The little risk taken is really nothing compared to the benefits that can be obtained.

Spike Lee can see this, and his agent can also see the possible future gains, so he fully agrees with the plan.

James Jackson is still explaining some precautions, "Spike, at first, remember not to directly target individuals, first take the movie as an example, and then let others rush to the front, especially Naomi Harris, she terminated her contract with her agent some time ago, and she has no agency for the time being, and she can't get along in Hollywood, so she agreed to come forward, and she herself is not very bright." ”

"I understand. Spike-Lee appears calm, "My goal is first and foremost to make a film, and when public opinion picks up, then turn to individuals, so that we can move in and out freely." ”

James Jackson has a lot of confidence in Spike Lee, and the source of his confidence is of course not how good Spike Lee is, but that he, as an agent, knows that Spike Lee is a professional who has been engaged in this kind of sport for a long time, even among all the black people in Hollywood.

In the past, many of the arguments related to black people were actually initiated here by Spike Lee.

Although James Jackson is not a leftist or a staunch supporter of black rights, Spike Lee is closely tied to him, and the interests of the two are closely linked.

Some true opinions he will only hide in his heart.

For example, he thinks that Spike Lee's fame has little to do with the movie itself, and he can mix in the position of being in the first line and the second line among Hollywood directors, one is the tangible and invisible care of the Coppola family, and the other is to focus on doing things for more than ten years.

If you have to let him evaluate, Spike Lee is famous, not because of how well his movies are made, but because he loves to make trouble and make shit, except for this year's "The Insider", other works are rotten like shit, not so much a director, but a director who changed careers to make shit, specializing in talking about race.

This time he finally got a good opportunity.

Frankly, James Jackson doesn't approve of this, but just because he doesn't approve doesn't mean he won't do it.

After all, in Hollywood, it's really a crying child who has milk.

Most of the NBA are black, table tennis is always Chinese, badminton is mostly Asian, swimming is mostly white, American university professors are many Asians, many Indian Chinese are engaged in IT, most violinists, pianists, orchestra conductors in the field of classical music are white, and most rappers in the pop music industry are black.

Of course, as long as he's Spike Lee's agent, he'll never say it.

Instead, he will do everything in his power to help Spike Lee achieve his goals.

Therefore, James Jackson specially reminded Spike Lee, saying, "Matthew Horner and "The Three Hundred Spartan Warriors" are the best targets, and the core of the academy has long reached a consensus that Matthew Horner is a vulgar person who has no ambition, no artistic pursuit, no respect for Oscar value, and only has money and beautiful women, and they don't like actors like Matthew Horner." ”

Matthew Horner makes so much money and doesn't care about the Academy and the Oscars, it's no wonder they'll like it.

James Jackson complained and said, "Needless to say, movies of the genre of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" are naturally not treated by the academy, and those who attack the film and Matthew Horner are also easy to stand on the same line with the old men of the academy. ”

Spike Lee suddenly said, "One Matthew Horner and one Spartan Three Hundred Warriors aren't enough. ”

"Huh?" wondered James Jackson.

"I'll drag people in with heavier portions. Spike-Lee clearly had an idea, "I've been unhappy with him for a long time." ”

He briefly explained to his agent, and James Jackson thought about it and objected, but at Spike Lee's insistence, he could only remain silent.

Jada Smith's career is immortal and can only exist in the form of Mrs. Smith, and James Jackson's greatest hope is still Spike Lee, a freedom fighter.

James Jackson discussed many more details with Spike Lee, and then left Spike Lee's studio to continue working on the plan.

Spike-Lee put away the newspaper, asked the female assistant to make another cup of coffee, and sat down in front of the computer screen at the desk.

Although he is nearly 50 years old, he has been learning to use computers and the Internet in order to better carry out his work, and briefly read the relevant news of "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors" on the Internet.

In this way, Spike Lee stayed in the studio until the afternoon, and in the middle of the afternoon, a reporter from the online version of The Hollywood Reporter was welcomed.

"Hello, Director Li. ”

This is a black journalist in his early thirties who shook hands with Spike-Lee and said, "Can we start?"

Like many people who can make it out in Hollywood, Spike Lee has a network of connections in the media, and celebrities like him who have nothing to do are also the favorite genre of major entertainment media.

Spike Lee pushed a pre-prepared document in front of the black reporter across his desk and said, "Let's get started." ”

The black reporter won Spike Lee's approval, first opened the voice recorder and placed it on the desk, then pulled out the pen and notebook, and then looked at the document, which had only a few questions.

These are the questions that we're talking about today, but the black reporter asked other questions first, such as interesting facts about Spike Lee's filming of "The Insider" and whether there are any plans for a new work.

After just ten minutes, I finally got to the point.

"Director Li, I noticed that you went to the premiere of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta". ”

The black reporter looked at the questions on the file and asked in his own way, "What do you think of this phenomenon, which grossed over 100 million in its opening weekend and set a series of records?" ”

The answer has already been worked out, and Spike Lee pretends to be deep and says, "The special effects for this film are okay." Everything else is ......"

He shook his head and continued, "From a distance, "From a distance, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta is a commercial blockbuster, and up close, this is an extremist propaganda film. It has a strong social Darwinism, which includes eugenicism, racism, and the glorification of male body types, including the rejection of homosexuality. ”

This answer was unexpected by the black reporter, who subconsciously asked, "Can you elaborate on it?"

Spike-Lee, of course, will elaborate, "The Righteous are a group of Caucasian men who kill weak babies, tall and handsome, muscular, brave and invincible, and above board, as if they could not find any flaw, and their traitors are a deeply deformed character." Look at the dark-skinned Middle Easterners, they are ignorant, ugly, mysterious and evil, and the king is probably intersex. ”

By this time, the black reporter had realized that he was going to get the big news.

"And ......," Spike-Lee forcibly held back, not directly naming him, "why are many of the people killed by the male protagonist black? Do blacks deserve to die, or are they prejudiced against blacks?"

In fact, there is only one problem on the document, and the rest is all up to Spike Lee's self-play, "Recently, some not-so-good things in Hollywood have been on the rise, not only "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", but also "Flags of the Fathers" released at the end of October. ”

He lifted his glasses and said solemnly, "In Eastwood's film, not only are there no black people in the person who put up the flag, but there is no important black character in the whole film. In his films, black soldiers don't exist at all, and not even a single black face is visible in the film. Now is not the time of slavery, does he know it? Why should he discredit the contribution of black soldiers in World War II?"

(Spike Lee's public spraying of Eastwood is a real thing, and the spraying is roughly the same as what I wrote.) ）
