Chapter 634: Lalala
Ye Wei glanced at the traffic light and didn't find the surveillance camera, the old woman crossing the road walked to the front of the car and took two or three steps, Emma Watson didn't wear a seat belt but couldn't get out, ok, you want to play, have fun! He slapped the horn, and the beeping car scared the old woman to look at it stunned, he couldn't help laughing, immediately stepped on the accelerator, the car rushed out, and as soon as he crossed the intersection at the red light, he pushed at full speed, and after a while, the black sedan was far behind.

"Haha, goodbye!" he waved his left hand, polar bears can't do anything about me, it's up to you?
He looked at the frightened Watson in the passenger seat and smiled, "Frightened? Believe me, I'm more scared than you." But you're a mystery guest, and I can't let anyone else pick you up. Relax, I watched "Spider-Man 3" released yesterday? Do you have a Groundhog Day feel?" he whistled!
ā...... I haven't seen it yet. Watson looked at this bad boy with a big smile and his mood was really churning, is this okay?
"It's okay, I know those people. Ye Wei really wasn't worried, "Those children didn't see you, you are their idol, but what happened just now is not what a good girl would do." 'What?! Or, 'Hahaha, that's just kidding, how could Hermione just happen to run into us.'" And then the kids would say, 'Oh Mom and Dad, you're so bad, we're going to have ice cream to make amend!' and the couple wasn't entirely sure, people lied to others to themselves. So they were talking and talking, and they believed it, yes, how could that be Hermione? She wasn't, she was just a little sister, young people now! Let's call the emergency number, the old lady fainted. 'Kids, give me the phone, 0118,999,881,99,9119,725,3'
Listening to his eloquent director-like explanation, Watson had already curled the corners of his mouth, and when she heard the emergency phone number of "IT Maniac", she almost burst into laughter again.
"Did you watch yesterday's ball game?" she also likes to joke, saying of the "IT Maniac" meme: "What was Rooney thinking at the time?"
"Uh... That's Rooney, he's an idiot. Ye Wei looked like a pseudo-fan who didn't actually watch the game. Watson nodded to finish the joke: "yes." The car drove through another intersection, and while paying attention to the road conditions, he said, "It's better to wear your sunglasses." ā
He noticed Chinese mainland that the cars there were basically filmed, but in many places in Europe and the United States, it was forbidden by law, and there might be people with guns in the cars, maybe babies trapped in the car, maybe people committed suicide, maybe the driver was Bean...... With security, there is no privacy and when the street car is shocked. Sometimes you just can't have the best of both worlds.
"Okay. Watson put back his sunglasses and buckled up, "It's funny what you say, people think that the arrogant, urbane, and commanding Hermione Granger is me." ā
"It's good to be happy. Ye Wei suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hey, have you ever tried skydiving?"
Watson shook his head slightly, "No, not yet." "Isn't that a mockery of the wizard's flight?
"You really should try. Ye Wei sighed, "That feeling is very refreshing." ā
"I would, thank you for the advice. Watson was curious when he said this, but then remembered, "My contract doesn't seem to allow me to play extreme sports......
"Hmm. Ye Wei pouted tiredly, "Can't you skateboard?"
Watson didn't answer, there must be a lot of people at the screening venue, now is the best opportunity to talk to Ye Wei, she didn't just want to joke, she took off her sunglasses again, and said seriously: "Weige, I've seen all your movies, you are one of my favorite filmmakers." I've always wanted to have a serious conversation with you, can it be now?"
"What?" Ye Wei glanced at her, and she had a very Hermione serious look on her face, "Okay." ā
"I want to start by talking about women's rights, I love 'Bones in Winter'. Watson calmed his voice and asked, "As a girl, I would love to contribute to the feminist movement and help women get the rights and social status they deserve." But I have a puzzle that people have a stereotype of women, and they also have a stereotype of feminist women. Some of them I can't figure out, I don't know if you understand, "Notting Hill" is one of my favorite movies. But others will say that a feminist woman should not like this movie, although it is a love story of strong women and weak men, and the heroine of the movie superstar is an absolute feminist female model, but her career success, life failure, and asking an ordinary bookstore owner boy to love her This model is the ending judgment of the patriarchal society for feminist women, and in the end she still has to marry a man and rely on a man in order to achieve true happiness. Moreover, she took the initiative to ask him to love her again in the bookstore, but he refused, and then he went to the hotel to ask her to give him another chance, and she agreed. It is also the traditional way for men to save women. It makes me feel... There is also a little bit of truth. I didn't even know whether I should like Notting Hill or not, and I was confused about what a feminist woman should be. ā
Ye Wei braked the brakes and looked at Watson who was speaking in a daze, "Sissi, were you chanting a spell just now?"
Watson was immediately disappointed and angry, and said in a muffled voice: "I read a tongue twister that I don't know what it is, don't you care." Ye Wei nodded and said okay. She looked at him in surprise, hey! He looked ahead inattentively, and she laughed, "I thought I could hear some guidance." ā
Ye Wei laughed, look at what good things this world has done, forcing a girl who is romantic by nature to be like this, "So what kind of magic did you use?"
Watson didn't want to talk anymore, he felt that Ye Weixu had a name, he must be knowledgeable, but he didn't want to discuss it with her, he just wanted to tease her, or say "Hermione", which was really vulgar. It's okay if you don't go to this screening, this guy is really bad. "It's funny," she said. "Magic that makes something ridiculous.
"Really?" Ye Wei was helpless, talking about women's rights while driving, and said with a wry smile: "You're a nerd, buddy." ā
"I'm not your buddy. Watson became more and more reluctant to be in his company, and it seemed rude and squeamish to say so, adding: "I'm a girl, yes, I use sanitary napkins!" ā
"Hahaha!" Ye Wei raised his head and laughed, "You're really a nerd, funny ......"
Watson also knew that he was a little unscrupulous, but he was really disappointed, could it be that Ye Wei was actually a male chauvinist?
As we talked, the light rain gradually stopped, and the car drove out of the town and continued east on the suburban field road, where there were few vehicles.
Ye Wei looked at Watson's dead appearance and sighed: "I can't help you, nerds are nerds." Watson looked over and shrugged, "I think 'Notting Hill' is a great feminist film." First of all, I have to say that it also has something that makes me unhappy, as you said, it uses a last-minute rescue technique to return the heroine to a passive position.
But maybe it has another purpose. Cinderella stories will always emphasize Cinderella's beauty and kindness, while Notting Hill stories will always emphasize the talents of boys, like Will in "Notting Hill" will understand literature, Jack in "Titanic" can draw, and of course they are usually very handsome. Prince charming and beauty, princess and champion. This is the tacit agreement of all civilizations in the world, and this is the rule of a patriarchal society.
When there is a huge disparity between the class status of a girl and a boy, she can rise if she has appearance, and the patriarchal society doesn't care if she is talented or not, just have sex and give me a beautiful baby. And when the princess elopes with a talented poor boy desperately, it is easy to be accepted and praised, but if you think that if the poor boy who is not talented and handsome marries the princess, do you really love this kind of thing and story? When a boy has a lower status than a girl, he must have talent to rise, and he will be recognized by the patriarchal society and women themselves, because sons-in-law are all about doing things, but handsome and kind are not enough.
Even now, in the 21st century, the needs and consciousness of this traditional society continue to this day, and the world is running like this for the time being. If you are talented and beautiful, the audience will identify with their love. So "Notting Hill" has this continuation in it, and its male protagonist is mediocre enough, but he is still talented and handsome!
The question is to ask yourself, is this true? Is it a rule that women also agree with? In most cases, a man of high status will love a woman who has no talent, only good looks and kindness, marry her, love her to death, and will not think that there is anything wrong with this woman. And a woman of high status, such as yourself, will you accept and love a man who is just handsome and kind in everything, but doesn't understand bullshit? What do you think of a man who willingly just wants to be your vassal?"
Watson looked at him in silence, his face slightly reddened......
Ye Wei looked at her and continued to say while driving: "I don't know how this ideology was formed, maybe it's the continuation of the long river of patriarchal society, maybe it's human nature. You thought for yourself. But I know that the movies and pop culture of the moment still hold it up. "Notting Hill" doesn't deny this, it admits it, and if Hugh Grant wasn't talented, Julia Roberts wouldn't like him, and if it weren't for Julia's beauty, Grant probably wouldn't have been fascinated by her.
I love this movie because I think it's feminist, and it actually flouts the rules of elopement between princesses and talented poor boys, and it's still men who say no - when Julia goes to the bookstore to find Grant, she's eloping, she's hiding, she's still under the control of a patriarchal society, she's afraid of gossip. But when Grant asked her in public at a press conference, and the whole world was watching, was a movie superstar going to be with a poor boy who was almost mediocre?
It seems to me that it is not the way men save women, but that women take charge of their own destiny and save themselves.
A strong, independent girl who is also just a girl begs a guy to love her. This is not to say that a woman cannot leave a man, but that she has the right to choose, and she has made her choice in a situation of complete economic independence, autonomy in life, and freedom of consciousness. I think no matter what, this is the right that feminist women should have, the right to fight for, the right to decide their own destiny. Like Julia who chose marriage, like Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada" who chose a career, and other choices made by other girls. In my "Winter's Bones", Rui made her choice in a realistic, constrained situation, sacrificing herself to protect her family.
But all these women are feminists, and what they decide is not how to choose, but how to choose. It's not the Cinderella who was chosen, it's not the Snow White who waits for someone to save her, it's like Mulan, like Belle in "Beauty and the Beast", she can be coerced and saved by the brutal Beast Prince, she can love him and influence him, but she has always tried to control her fate. ā
"Can you speak more slowly...... Watson had to plead, and a lot of what he said was heard as la-la-la, just lamenting his amazing lung capacity......
"Okay. Ye Wei took a long and deep breath, "What kind of perfume do you use?" ā
Before Watson could say anything, he said frantically again: "As for the stereotypes you said. I hate this thing so much, but the fact is that humans live by impressions. You know it's sweet when you see sugar, you know it's salty when you see salt, you know he's stupid when you see Rooney, you think of Hermione when you see Emma Watson. When you say that a person is introverted, or that a person is cheerful, you define him. Jungian psychology, horoscopes, ethnicity, nationality...... It's all about definition. And how can feminists be an exception?
The whole society and everyone will define them, they need some texture, some rules of the game, how feminism is, how feminist women want to be, if not, it is pseudo-feminism. I don't want to say which set of definitions is correct and which is wrong. I think it's usually one-sided, and the proponents of each faction are usually using definitions to prove it, you knock out the information you don't want, and keep looking for the condiments to reinforce it, consume it, and get a kind of pleasure.
In the past, ideology was controlled by traditional media, but now the Internet age is no better. For example, when you think that feminists are brutal and ignorant, you will keep looking for information about it, and your community of fans will keep sharing this kind of information, turning a blind eye to other information that is contrary, and finally you will be dead on the end of it. This is how prejudice is formed.
This is true of a person, and it is also true of a human society. This society is still a patriarchal society, and with all due respect, the existence of many feminist movements today is inseparable from the fact that men are in order to show their benevolence and progress. In fact, what do a lot of people think? They hate these girls, they want them to die, because they are not easy to control. And many women don't really think about women's rights, just talk about fashion and take advantage of it, even those girls who are sincerely aspiring, they don't understand, so while they are ramping for the right definition, this society with hidden malice has contributed to the definition for them, thus forming the stereotype of mainstream feminists today.
When you think you're a feminist, but you don't want to follow the rules, you say your own thing, you do your own thing. People say that you pretend, that you are pseudo-feminist, that you are indeed not a stereotypical feminist, so what should I do? It's like, if I call you Sissi, when others hear it, that's not feminism, it's women's rights, it's women's rights. It's a comical comical magic imposed by society.
How can we retain our femininity and self in the pursuit of femininity!?
I guess that's your confusion, and this, that's a real problem. ā
"But you don't ......" I don't know if Ye Wei used up all the oxygen in the car, Watson was a little breathless, "You don't define." ā
"I try not to. Ye Wei turned the steering wheel and said with a smile: "But who can escape being labeled and used? How many labels? They are the ones that make the world go round. It's miserable, living on such a boring planet. ā
Watson curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said defiantly: "My biggest label is Hermione, like a walking exhibit, always being stared at, talked about, and accosted, and they like Hermione Granger, a girl seen from the movies, not a real living person." No matter how many Harry Potter plays there, I want people to know Emma Watson, I want to play different roles, and I'm going to be in your audition, and I'm emailing you. It's a pity that you don't seem interested in breaking it. ā
"It's a paradox, I don't define you, so for me, what needs to be broken??" Ye Wei shook his head and smiled, "And you are indeed not suitable, Bethany, Susie, Rui, which one are you suitable for? I asked you to play a project like "Bullying Night", are you willing?
"I don't know. Watson thought about it, Streep, Roberts, Portman, these iconic actresses have worked with him, Lawrence and Olsen have achieved more dazzling artistic achievements than her, she has nothing to play big, and in terms of appearance and temperament, Imozhen Potts can play her, but ......
"You didn't invite me, I don't even know what kind of movie it is. She was a little depressed, "You don't have a schedule to ask me to play now." ā
"There's always a chance. Ye Wei didn't care too much. Watson looked at the field scenery outside the car window, becoming more and more desolate, and couldn't help asking, "Where is the screening place?" Ye Wei smiled: "Voldemort's lair." This story teaches you not to get into a stranger's car. ā
"You said you didn't define me as Hermione, but you kept making fun of me about Harry Potter. ā
"At least I didn't ask if you liked Harry or Ron. Personally, I like Ron more, nothing else, I just don't like glasses guys. ā
"Let's talk about women's rights again, shall we?"
ā... Have you tried shutting down and restarting?"
