Chapter 673: Accidents

Charlotte and Addison Young whispered about what they were talking about was indeed not what the footage had just taken.

In fact, because of Charlotte's participation, in the footage, the octopus-headed captain David Jones's aura has greatly increased, and even the crew members of the other "Flying Dutchman" have become ghostly.

Especially Charlotte's octopus head, who is proficient in spells, he directly added spell effects to himself - so, Addison Young saw through the camera that the tentacles on the octopus head were really weird and terrifying.

- To put it simply, the shot is perfect, and there is no need to reshoot it at all.

Now, what Addison Young is quietly discussing with Charlotte is actually a news he just heard-

"You said that the local Dominican extras who participated in our film are going to hold a crew protest against us for discrediting the indigenous people of Dominica and filming them as cannibals!?"

Charlotte looked at Mr. Photographer,

"Addison, it's almost Christmas, not April Fool's Day!"

"I'm not kidding you!"

Addison Young was a little angry,

"This is what I heard when I "photographed" a local girl, and I guess they will come to the crew tomorrow to make trouble. ”

"Really?"

Charlotte nodded, but remembered another question -

"Take pictures!?those girls in Dominica!?You've got a lot of coverage!"

"Black pearls are also very beautiful, okay?"

Addison Young pretended to be serious,

"Charlotte, I think you seem to be a little discriminatory against black peopleβ€”"

"β€”no, it's African-American!"

Charlotte, in turn, pointed right,

"That's the right way to call it!"

β€œ......”

Whether it's Addison Young or Charlotte, there was silence at this point.

That's right, that's where American-style political correctness comes in!

Whether it's Hollywood, or any other industry in the United States, the issue of political correctness is definitely more than enough.

After all, there are too many affirmative action organizations in the United States, not to mention that there are many real or fake people and power fighters.

In order to avoid being dragged back by these trolls and protests, Hollywood movies are also paying more and more attention to the "de-discrimination" of various words.

Like "African American" or "Native American".

The former is a "non-discriminatory" term for black Americans, while the latter refers to Indians.

Because in the eyes of these minority affirmative action organizations, these terms are discriminatory.

And after their continuous protests, the official organizations of the United States gradually accepted such a concept and began to promote it.

So Americans have to be cautious when they speak.

- Because it is often possible to be accused of "discrimination" because of a certain word......

Of course, the situation of the average person is better - after all, not the majority of people who like to correct words - but for industries such as the film and entertainment industry, which are aimed at the public, they have to adapt to this change.

- After all, you don't know who among the people watching will get bored and start finding fault.

But this change in words has brought a lot of trouble to Hollywood filmmakers-

First of all, many viewers who don't pay attention to this aspect of the news may not be familiar with such "official words", which directly affects their understanding of the script - which naturally makes the screenwriters very disgusting.

Second, the new official words will be less powerful than the familiar but "discriminatory" words of the past.

- To put it simply, it is boring, which is also a common problem with all official words.

β€” or rather, many of the official words were invented to avoid too much "force".

But the problem is that, unlike the government's speech, one of the requirements of many audiences for the film is to "bring energy".

Therefore, in the lines of many movies, there are always swear words;

That's why some dirty and violent movies often sell at the box office.

Just like the easiest way to make money in the world is basically written in the Criminal Law, the audience often likes to watch what the more officially prohibited.

And Hollywood filmmakers, as commercial animals, naturally will not easily give up the elements that make movies sell well because of political correctness.

Of course, political correctness still needs to be talked about.

Therefore, after frantically testing on the edge of political correctness, Hollywood has summed up some ways that can not only be politically correct, but also make the film's words "energetic" at the cost of many movies being protested to death-

The first is to include minority characters, especially black people, in the film.

- No, African-American.

In fact, this is not only to avoid being protested by the black movement, but also to say some radical lines.

Because in the United States, all minority affirmative action organizations are typical of only allowing state officials to set fires, and not allowing ordinary people to light lamps-

Just as white people say "" is discrimination, black people themselves say "" is intimacy, and even if black people say "white guy" in turn, it is generally not discrimination.

In fact, even black people who have always claimed to be discriminated against will not be relentless when they have the opportunity to discriminate against others.

Not to mention the whole reverse "black supremacy" that exists in Hollywood, there are also many discriminatory words against other ethnic groups by blacks.

It's just that crying children have milk to eat, because the black equality movement lasts the longest, has the most organization, and has the most power, so other organizations can't fight them.

Therefore, if the influence of the more powerful power of capital is removed, in the United States, black people are indeed more "free" in speech.

Hollywood has borrowed this kind of overkill due to political correctness to counter the "political correctness" that affects the excitement of the story.

Therefore, since the 90s of the 20th century, it has been popular in Hollywood movies to use black people to play funny and nagging roles.

This is both because this is one of the traditional images of black people, and it is easy for everyone to accept. It's also to get these black actors to say lines that might not be so politically correct.

- Anyway, it's generally blacks who protest against others, and rarely when others protest against them.

However, this method may not be used all the time.

After all, some movies may not be suitable for black characters, and they can't give all the "exciting" lines to black characters.

Fortunately, there are always more solutions than problems in this world. Another easy way for Hollywood screenwriters is to have one character say politically incorrect lines and then another character to correct him.

This means that the non-politically correct view is only the setting of the character itself, and does not represent the opinion of the filmmaker.

- The black cauldron was successfully thrown out.

This method was used in Charlotte's original time and space "Spider-Man: Homecoming"-

Michael Keaton, who plays the villain Vulture, said politically incorrect lines like "Indian" in the movie, but then his younger brother weakly corrected him.

Not to mention, in this movie, for the sake of political correctness, even the heroine has become a black girl......
