Chapter 2: The Juno Effect
"You don't seem to be worried?" Lucas asked curiously, hearing Sid's slightly teasing tone.
"If it's useful to worry about it, then there is no problem in the world. Sid smiled lightly, and then he added: "Besides, I think that even without the two of us, the progress of digital technology will not really be slowed down." Even if there were no Lukes and Leonhardt, someone else would still stand up. ”
Sid's words made Lucas heartily agree, and then he sighed again: "If only everyone else could think like you." ”
"Why, are you tired so quickly? If you can't hold it anymore, I can take over Star Wars for you. Sid laughed playfully.
"Haha, I can still move! Lucas couldn't help but laugh too.
"Harry Potter has been scheduled to be released this summer, so I'll take the lead this time. Sid finally said as if "defiantly".
"Star Wars Prequel 2" also started shooting in June last year, although the main shooting only took 2 and a half months, but because the film's script is actually constantly adjusting and improving.
Therefore, the intermittent supplementary filming of "Star Wars Prequel 2" has not ended until now, and correspondingly, the post-production of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is nearing completion.
The publicity for this year's summer release has begun to be promoted in North America and even around the world.
"I'll let you get ahead of you this time, don't be so complacent, boy. Lucas smiled openly.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Lucas. Before finally hanging up, Sid solemnly thanked Lucas again.
After hanging up the phone call from Lucas, who was still filming "Star Wars" abroad, Sid hesitated for a moment, and then was about to call Shirley to prevent unnecessary trouble.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding-" A mobile phone rang suddenly, and Sid answered the phone strangely: "Hey, who is it?"
There was no speech on the other side, replaced by a burst of crying.
Sid frowned, and then before he could pick up his phone to see who the caller was, the other side said in a sobbing voice again: "Sid...... Brother ......"
This time Sid heard clearly, it was Lindsay's little girl!
His eyes immediately narrowed, although he didn't know what was going on, but it was definitely not a trivial matter to make Xiao Nizi call and cry to herself.
Could it be Lindsay's cheating father's father, who has relapsed into his old state and is engaging in domestic violence again!
Sid narrowed his eyes, his eyes sparkled with coldness, but he immediately said softly: "Little cutie, don't cry yet, tell me, what's wrong?"
————————————————————
Recently, in the city of Gloucester in northeastern Massachusetts, a very shocking thing happened! Thirty-seven female students at the school were all pregnant one after another, and they were all under the age of 16! The youngest of them was only 14 years old. ”
On the CBS news channel, the solemn-faced host said in a heavy tone: "But the most surprising thing is that they still have a collective agreement, let's see what is going on?"
After he finished speaking, the picture on the TV turned to this middle school in Gloucester, which from the outside, it was just an ordinary public high school, with blue school buildings and patches of woods forming the leisurely scenery of the town.
But at this time, the female reporter standing at the school gate faced the camera with a serious expression and said: "This is the school where this early pregnancy incident occurred, and there are more than 1,000 students in this middle school." ”
As the camera cuts, the name of the school and the faces of the students who appear in the frame are obscured by the blurred mosaics.
But the female reporter's words were very poignant: "In the past, the number of pregnancy tests in the school's infirmary for a semester was about 100. But since the second half of this semester, some girls have started to come and go to the infirmary frequently. ”
"Their purposes are strikingly similar, they all came for pregnancy tests. If they don't get pregnant, they will be disappointed. However, when they found out that they were pregnant, they couldn't help but cheer. ”
"This abnormal state of affairs, which is by no means different from the past, immediately attracted the attention of the school management, and after questioning several people one after another, they found an astonishing fact - these pregnant girls actually agreed to get pregnant together!"
Not only that, but the girls also wrote a manifesto together. We can't announce the contents of this manifesto on television, but the school made it clear that they decided to get pregnant en masse because of a movie about teenage pregnancy. ”
It is said that more than 50 girls signed the declaration, and now the number of pregnant girls has reached a staggering 29, most of whom are in relationships with boys from the same school, but a few are with people from outside the school. Police and prosecutors in Massachusetts said they would investigate the off-campus individuals and punish adults if they were involved. ”
At the end, the CBS reporter added: "The oldest of the girls who are currently pregnant is 17 years old, and the youngest is only 14 years old." ”
Just before the Oscar nominations were announced in mid-January, an unexpected event suddenly erupted, pushing the Fire Lions, Sid, and Lindsay to the forefront.
In a small town in Massachusetts, north of New York on the east coast of North America, the collective pregnancy of more than 20 school girls immediately made the entire Northeast region boil. And then the girl's declaration that was exposed by major TV news networks, although in order to protect the privacy of minors, did not publish its content.
However, all TV networks tacitly told the "culprit" behind it - a certain popular movie about teenage pregnancy.
For a time, all major news networks in North America put this news on the headlines of the entertainment news section.
And "Time Magazine" directly called this incident of more than 20 school girls getting pregnant collectively in the latest journal - "Juno effect"!
"Time Magazine" directly pierced the last layer of window paper. Everyone started talking about it publicly, not only the Hollywood entertainment media, but also a whole host of university professors and serious media.
Some people discuss the influence of film and television to media responsibility, and some people discuss the psychology of teenagers from the idol effect.
For example, Christil Miller, a professor of adolescent psychology at a university in Minnesota, said that the "Juno effect" is the media's glorification of pregnancy and its portrayal as a solution to all past problems.
