Chapter 81: Feminism is ironic
"Mr. Lucas, what prompted you to complete this film?"
Before discussing much with Mike, Walter was then surrounded by reporters who were put in for an interview, and finally mediated, so that everyone in the crew could gather around and accept these reporters in a unified interview, and at this moment they were collectively asking Lucas, after all, those media care more about the director and actors of the film than the producer.
"I've been preparing this movie for a long time, and to put it simply, the inspiration for filming "American Painting" came from Federico Fellini - Federico Fellini's film I Vitelloni - "Swingers", I hope the audience can walk out of the theater in a happy mood, so that they can understand the importance of peace, war is not advisable......" Lucas is not a director of the first brother, he has been around Francis, and he has seen the media a few times, but the answer is a bit official.
"At the end of the movie, the whereabouts of only a few male protagonists are introduced, but what about the whereabouts of the heroines? Isn't it a bit biased not to introduce them, do we think that this is an insinuation in the movie that women are not important?" A shrewd newspaper reporter will always find some news in a short period of time that cannot be beaten, but can be connected and make a sensation early, and it is obvious that this reporter who has just come to interview is like this.
"Hmm...... This ......"
Lucas obviously didn't expect the other party to ask this kind of question, and he was stuck for a while, and Walter beside him hurriedly said: "Everyone, I think this question has nothing to do with the movie we discussed, right? At the same time, he immediately made eye contact with Mike, who was also watching here.
The other party understood and realized something, and after nodding knowingly, he suddenly coughed loudly, and then said loudly: "Everyone, I'm sorry, the time has come, the crew has other things, that's all for today's interview, goodbye." ”
The official and polite eviction order, under the excellent "protection" of the theater security, those reporters complained that there was too little time, or that the time was not up and they were quarantined, and they were invited out, and occasionally they slipped through the net, and they wanted to continue to ask, but they were quickly stopped by the security personnel who rushed to them.
"It's just in time, Mike, or I'm afraid something would have gone wrong. Seeing that there were no reporters, Walter hurriedly sighed and said, these reporters are really not fuel-efficient lamps, they have been deliberately blurring the political propaganda of "American Style Painting" recently, they are still stalking and asking, and even mentioned women's rights just now.
"Isn't it a good thing you did?" Mike retorted.
"It's just propaganda, it's nothing. Walter replied vaguely, no more, the other party was right, if he hadn't used the Vietnam War to build momentum for the movie as desperately as he was, it wouldn't be worth it for these reporters to go around and apply politics after watching the movie.
The reporter's words just now were tactful, but anyone who has a little aftertaste understands that what he asked in his words is that it doesn't matter whether the film satirizes feminism or not. This question stumped both Lucas and Walter, which led to Mike's early end.
After all, once tomorrow's newspaper spreads the news that the crew director of "American Style Painting" thinks that women are not important in life, you can meet those feminists who have been committed to women's autonomy and independence how crazy they are, after all, it is still in the late stage of the second wave of feminist liberation, if these guys demonstrate, it will definitely have an impact on the box office of the movie, and it is to blame Lucas for insisting on not revealing the future of several heroines.
It's really ironic, you can get feminist love for making a movie, it seems that I have been too profligate lately, and I have to pay attention in the future, Walter said silently in his heart.
It was not only the big reporters who were crazy, but also the countless viewers who watched the premiere, and from the faces of the American audiences who left the theater and continued to discuss the plot of the movie, Walter saw a kind of atmosphere called fiery.
Everything indicates that the potential of "American Painting" is endless, and Walter can imagine the scene after tonight, the streets and alleys will be crowded with movie theaters. After that, without reporters chasing after him, Walter said goodbye to the crew one by one, and then took Basinger and left with them in their Rolls-Royce SilverGhost.
The silver Rolls-Royce SilverGhost drove slowly on the road, at this time it was at the peak of the crowd flow, although it has not yet reached the point where driving at this moment in the future will have to be stuck in traffic, but the car still can't play its maximum horsepower.
"What's the matter, Kim, your face is so bad?" asked the woman beside her with a gloomy face, which made Dewater feel uncomfortable and curious.
"You're familiar with Spiel, aren't you?"
The woman's question seemed casual, but the sour tone made Walter alert, but he pretended not to care and said, "It's okay, it's a crew after all." ”
"Really?" Besinger laughed at herself, and said nothing, although she had fantasized in her heart about getting closer to Walter, a powerful, young, handsome and sophisticated man, but it was only a fantasy, and after a few months of getting along, she understood this man's shamelessness.
Of course, when Basinger asked this at this time, it was naturally not a cliché to think that she was Walter's girlfriend and came to catch the adulterer, she was more of a temptation, testing Walter's attitude towards the woman. Tonight's movie premiere has made her understand that Walter's words can come true, what does this mean? It shows that she can become popular, and who makes her popular is of course the credit of the young producer who came into contact with movies for the first time around her.
For such a person, of course, before Basinger meets a better opportunity, of course, she must take advantage of it, so when she saw that there seemed to be a close relationship between Walter and Spiel Shepard at the time of the premiere, she was naturally very angry. From this moment on, Shepard was her enemy in some form, and she wanted to show that bitch that she was powerful......
Looking at the woman's soulless appearance, Walter couldn't help but wonder, Basinger's mind he naturally guessed, not only her, but also after the premiere tonight, Shepard changed his normal way to show unusual friendliness and closeness to himself, and even Jodie Foster, the little girl, was not very close to herself when she made the movie, and now she also took the initiative to hug him and thank him, thanking him for recommending him to be Lucas's actor.
Of course, if the box office of "American Painting" can shock people's attention, then not only Lucas, the director, will become popular, but also the producer himself will become the "god" in the hearts of these unknown actors.
