[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

Chapter 38 Selecting Asian Actors

Things are at an impasse.

Claire meant to choose Asians.

And Brad means no.

So now even more pressure has been placed on casting director Kelly Oss herself.She's from the Casting Directors Guild and is now hired as part of the cast of Ghost in the Shell.

In Hollywood, whether it is a large-scale commercial blockbuster or a small-investment independent film, the casting director is an indispensable role in almost every crew.Hollywood now has a dedicated casting directors union, with about 700 registered casting directors.

To whitewash or not to whitewash?

Now it is not a question of which white actor is better, but a more core "color" trouble.

According to the New York Daily News, the news that Paramount has decided to remake "Ghost in the Shell" has spread, but after it will use a white actress to play the leading role, it has caused an uproar in a certain range.

An organization called the "Media Action Network of Asian Americans (MANAA)" publicly reprimanded the producer for covering up the wrongdoing.

The organization accused Hollywood of refusing to play Japanese roles by Japanese, and made a bitter statement about the difficult situation of Japanese and even Asian Americans in Hollywood.

Some people from the organization said to the media angrily: "People have long-standing controversy over the whiteness of minority characters in American film and television. Albinism. Hollywood albinism."

This prompted a warning from Paramount that they had to think hard about what to do if they didn't want to get into an argument.

I heard that the Facebook communication platform is very popular now, and seeing Edward always mocking her, she really wanted to know more about it.She took out her computer and clicked on the official website.

He entered his name by accident, and saw his homepage, with 1020 fans.I almost dropped the mouse in shock, when did I actually have such fans.Then she looked at Spielberg's 1535 million, Angelina Jolie's [-] million, okay.

She doesn't know how to do this, and the dynamics are created by the public relations team.

For example, this repost of Paramount's handshake photo, with the words: "Happy cooperation." There are also many interactions with the comment area. Claire thought it was quite funny when she saw it, and the accounts that answered all had her name on it.There are many fans who support her below, and even set up a dedicated section.

She was actually a little shy, and then she walked in uncontrollably.

Old bookworm: By the way, I also went to interview for the casting meeting of "Ghost in the Shell", but the director hasn't given me an answer yet.

Vivienne: Awesome, the host is an insider?

Old bookworm: Well, it's just a little transparent!The agent keeps calling me stupid (covers face).

I'm not very fierce: I can be regarded as an insider, but I'm not an actor, and I haven't had a chance to get in touch with the director.

Hmm...want to contact me?Claire was speechless.A question came to mind.

To make a speech, only one account must be registered.

amount.

tangled.

What kind of id should I take?

Phillips has registered her a tuba.She thought it would be more convenient to use the trumpet to communicate with netizens.

After thinking for nearly half an hour, a novice with a first-level "goal of [-] million" started on the road.

The goal is [-] million: I want to ask a question, do you think Scarlett Johansson, or Jennifer Lawrence is suitable to play Suzi in "Ghost in the Shell"?

Old Bookworm: I don't think it's suitable.

Vivian: +1

Kaguya: Ghost in the Shell meant a lot to me and my brother growing up.It is sad to see where it is now.

……

Insomnia 1797: I think it is best not to choose.

The goal of [-] million: why?

Insomnia 1797: 1. This would spark a popular racial debate about the film. 2. I don't know how well they can shoot, they must not love "Suzi".

Claire wanted to know what the audience was thinking, and continued typing.

The goal is [-] million: who is suitable?

Insomnia 1797: According to my understanding, Rinko Kikuchi and Tao Okamoto should be more suitable.

Claire touched her chin and said nothing.

Miyagi Sendai

Yuzuru Hanyu still continued to write, holding his own equipment, walked into the house, and said to Yumi's mother who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, "I'm back."

Mama Yumi put the food on the table, and the TV next to her was broadcasting entertainment news, and the program focused on the casting of the remake of "Ghost in the Shell" in China.She watched Yuzuru Hanyu staring at the TV without moving.

She was a little surprised and said, "Ah, isn't this anime that Yuzuru likes? Is the live-action version going to be filmed now?"

He tried to call the phone number she said.

Yuzuru Hanyu looked at his mobile phone, lowered his eyes, and said in not-so-fluent English, "Will Asians be cast in the movie?"

"This..." She looked at the petition on the website.

When the news first came out, there was even a petition on the Internet that had collected 15000 signatures, calling for the actress to be replaced by an Asian actor.The petition accuses "Hollywood of being too white," saying, "The original version of this movie was made in Japan, and the characters are all Japanese, so why should a white actress be the heroine? The entire film industry has been very disrespectful to Asians." Friendly, bigger movies always exclude Asian actors, and this movie should have been an opportunity for Asian actors to express themselves."

Seeing the message sent by Kelly just now, she stood up, said into the microphone slowly: "Yes."

"Not only will Asian characters use Asian actors, but the protagonist will choose Japanese actors."
