Chatty Hollywood

What Charlotte and Addison Young were discussing in a low voice was indeed not about the footage they just shot.

In fact, due to Charlotte's participation, the aura of Captain Davy Jones, the octopus-headed captain, greatly increased in the footage, and the other crew members on the "Flying Dutchman" also became ghostly.

Especially Charlotte's octopus head. Being proficient in magic, he directly added magic special effects to himself - so, from Addison Young's perspective through the camera, the tentacles on the octopus head were really weird and terrifying.

——To put it simply, this footage is perfect, and there is no need to reshoot it at all.

Now, what Addison Yang is quietly discussing with Charlotte is actually the news he just heard——

"You said that the local Dominican extras who participated in our film are going to protest on set to protest against us for tarnishing the reputation of the Dominican indigenous people and making them look like cannibals!?"

Charlotte looked at Mr. Photographer,

"Addison, it's Christmas, not April Fools' Day!"

"I'm not kidding you!"

Addison Young was a little angry,

"This is what I heard when I was "taking photos" of a local girl. I guess they will come to the set tomorrow to cause trouble."

"Yeah?"

Charlotte nodded, but then remembered another question——

"Taking photos!? Those local Dominican girls!? Your coverage is really wide!"

"There are also beautiful black pearls, okay?"

Addison Young pretended to be serious;

"Charlotte, I think you seem to be a little discriminatory towards black people-"

“—No, it’s African-American!”

Charlotte corrected her in turn,

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

"..."

Whether it was Addison Young or Charlotte, there was a moment of silence after speaking.

——Yes, this is the fault of American political correctness!

Whether it's Hollywood or other industries in the United States, although the issue of political correctness is insufficient to achieve success, it is definitely more than sufficient to cause failure.

After all, there are too many various affirmative rights organizations in the United States, not to mention there are many real or fake human rights fighters.

In order to avoid being held back by these trolls and protests, Hollywood movies are 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 African Americans, while the latter refers to Indians.

Because in the view of these minority equality organizations, these terms are discriminatory.

After their continuous protests, American official organizations gradually accepted this concept and began to promote it.

So when Americans speak, they have to be careful.

——Because it is often possible because of a certain word,

Being accused of "discrimination"...

Of course, the situation of ordinary people is better - after all, not the majority of people are particularly fond of correcting words - but for industries such as the film and entertainment industry whose works are for 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 faults.

But this change in wording has brought a lot of trouble to Hollywood filmmakers——

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

Secondly, compared with the familiar but "discriminatory" words in the past, the new official words will be less expressive.

——To put it simply, it is boring, which is also a common problem of all official vocabulary.

——In other words, many official vocabulary were invented to avoid too much "power".

But the problem is that unlike the government's statement, one of the requirements of many viewers for the movie is to be "energetic".

Therefore, many movie lines always contain swear words;

Therefore, some dirty and violent movies often sell well at the box office.

Just like the easiest way to make money in the world is basically written in the "Criminal Law", viewers tend to like to watch something the more officials prohibit it.

As commercial animals, Hollywood filmmakers will naturally not give up the elements that make movies popular just because of political correctness.

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

Therefore, after frantically testing the edges of political correctness, Hollywood has summed up some methods that can be both politically correct and make the language of movies "energetic" at the cost of many movies being protested to death -

The first one is to include minority characters in movies, especially black people.

- No, it's African-American.

In fact, this is not only to avoid being protested by black sports organizations, but also to say some extreme lines.

Because in the United States, all minority groups’ affirmative action organizations typically only allow state officials to set fires, but do not allow ordinary people to light lamps——

Just like when white people say "nigger", it is discrimination, and when black people say "nigger", it is affectionate. Even if black people say "white guy" in turn, it is generally not said to be discrimination.

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

Not to mention the reverse "black supremacists" who exist in Hollywood, black people also have a lot of discriminatory remarks against other ethnic groups.

It's just that crying children are fed by milk, because the black equal rights movement has the longest duration, the most organizations, and the greatest power, so other organizations can't stand up to them.

Therefore, if the influence of capital, a more powerful force, is excluded, the speech of black people in the United States is indeed more "free".

Hollywood has used this kind of overcorrection caused by political correctness to fight against the "political correctness" that affects the excitement of the story.

Therefore, since the 1990s, it has been popular to use black people to play funny and chatty characters in Hollywood movies.

This is because this is one of the traditional images of black people and is easily accepted by everyone. It was also about getting these black actors to say some lines that might be less politically correct.

——Anyway, it’s usually black people who protest against others, and rarely when others protest against them.

However, this method cannot be used all the time.

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

Fortunately, there are always more solutions than problems in this world. Another simple method used by Hollywood screenwriters is to have one character say politically incorrect lines and then have other characters correct his words.

——This means that those non-politically correct views are only the setting of the character itself, and do not represent the views of the film producer.

——The blame was successfully thrown out.

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

Michael Keaton, who plays the villain Vulture, once 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 became a black girl...
