Chapter 255: Bringing Mattel to the forefront
Dunn's story is a bit of a black eye for Hollywood. In order to avoid the pressure of his peers, he quickly changed his words——
"I felt very strange at the time, rules? What are the rules? Do I let the girl sleep with me for one night and hand over the heroine to her? I've made so many movies, and I never knew there were such rules. !"
"In the past, Hollywood did have a lot of bad habits, but times have changed, and so has the social atmosphere. Now in Hollywood, there is no such unspoken rule for a long time. At least my circle of friends and social circle have never encountered it. such a thing."
"Hollywood movies need to be responsible to the investors, but also to the fans! Neither the producer nor the director can make a joke about the quality of the movie!"
Natalie pouted again and again when she heard these high-sounding words.
Others don't know, she doesn't understand?
This Dunn, has little experience with the heroine?
From "Titanic" to "My Great Greek Wedding", to "Wedding Cracker", "Spider-Man", "Unsinkable", which heroine has no affair with him?
But at this time, of course, she couldn't bring down the stage for Tang En. Together with the rest of the class, she applauded warmly, and her face was excited, as if she fully recognized Tang En's speech.
The applause lasted for a long time, and Tang En made a downward gesture and said deeply: "What is the reason that caused this girl and her mother to think that in the process of chasing their dreams, giving up dignity is one thing? A matter of course? I'm not a sociologist, I'm just an ordinary director, so I want to start with the film."
"Movie?"
Many media reporters at the scene had their eyes flashed.
This speech of Dunn is very inconsistent with his character. This guy is in Hollywood, and the scandal is definitely flying all over the sky!
When hearing him mention "movies", the well-informed reporters quickly came up with the association, this guy... Doesn't he want to make fun of Disney again?
Seeing Tang En sternly said: "I don't know when it started, in our education, the idea of 'women must depend on men to survive' has long been stipulated in the constitution, equality between men and women, freedom and independence. Women should be the new standard of the new era!"
"Education starts with dolls. Here, we have to talk about cartoons. What are the favorite cartoons of little girls? It's "Snow White", it's "Cinderella", it's those princesses who rely on princes to save them Cartoon series, isn't that funny?"
"That's a story that existed a hundred years ago, and is it still in line with the current social trend? Why should the princesses wait for the prince's rescue if women want to be liberated? Why should the princesses be helpless? It must be simple thinking, poor logic, and rely on the prince for help? Don’t forget, women can hold up half the sky too!”
Suddenly, the applause broke out again.
Every woman present was deeply touched and even burst into tears.
Reminiscing about their childhood, isn't it obsessed with movies like "Snow White"?
"What should a new-age woman look like? It's Ruth from Titanic, Queen Amidala from Star Wars Episode 1, Nicole Kidman from My Big Greek Wedding. They don't compromise or give up, they fight against the world, and they actively pursue their own happiness!"
Dunn's words are so contagious that even Natalie is a little confused. Isn't this guy for real?
The applause came one after another, interrupting Dunn’s words again and again. He was satisfied with the effect of his speech and pressed his hand down, “Disney’s delicate, weak, and I feel pity princess series should really be abandoned by the times. You guys You know? Disney's Princess line has recently released a set of dolls and it's selling like crazy! How ironic is that?"
Several reporters looked at each other and nodded secretly.
Sure enough, this guy still has a hard time with Disney!
It used to be only in the field of movies, but now, even Disney's doll series cannot escape criticism.
Huh? Toy?
Some reporters lit up.
A few days ago, Mattel did not hold a press conference. The spokesperson's remarks were full of ingratitude to Disney and satire of Dunn Pictures.
Is it...
Is this his counterattack?
Sure enough, next, I heard Dunn mention Mattel's ace toy - Barbie.
"Of course, there are also Barbie dolls! I think toy companies have serious patriarchal ideology and discrimination against women when it comes to designing toys for young girls!"
Dunn's remarks are not unimportant.
"Look at the shape of Barbie dolls, just like those princesses in Disney, they set the image of women to have slightly open lips, big breasts, and water snake waist. How pitiful? According to the height conversion, a real life ratio Barbie's waist is only 20 inches!"
"Is such a figure really in line with human structure? To put it horribly, this is a physical deformity! Even a Victoria's Secret Angel can't have such a body curve! Not only that~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Barbie wears This is serious money worship, and it will bring wrong value judgments to young children!"
"In slang, 'Barbie' has become synonymous with stupid women. Should children's toys be of this type? Even Barbie said 'I love shopping', 'I want new clothes', Isn't it obvious sexism to say 'math class is hard'?"
"As far as I know, many women have suffered from anorexia in order to imitate Barbie's body. And we know that when you are a woman whose body fat is less than 17%, it will lead to endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders, which are already serious. It has affected the health of many women, not to mention those risk-takers who blindly reshape their bones and breasts."
...
The audience present was in a cold sweat.
Dunn's remarks are too offensive. Originally, they thought that Dunn's attack on Disney was sharp enough, but they didn't expect that Barbie was the focus of the artillery fire.
In fact, the debate about Barbie has been emerging in recent years, but the Mattel family has a big business and strong strength. After successful public relations, it can always be saved.
However, the merciless public criticism of public figures like Dunn can still cause great shock.
The tone is stern, and the words are true!
Barbie's controversy is too great, anorexia, plastic surgery, breast augmentation, bone cutting... In order to achieve Barbie's perfect figure, it has indeed greatly harmed the health of some women.
And Barbie's admiration and yearning for new clothes, new hairstyles, and new jewelry are also ruthlessly destroying the values of generations of girls.
It is conceivable that this speech by Dunn will definitely push Mattel to the forefront!
