Two months ago, after the television networks announced their cancellations and renewals for the upcoming season, and ABC confirmed the return ofFresh Off The Boat，康斯坦斯·吴（Constance Wu）在Twitter上弹出受到广泛批评both by the public and by many of her peers, other actors and creatives who mocked her for moaning over the tragedy of still having a job. Constance’s attempt at damage control (“believe women”) wasn’t a great look either. This was especially disappointing because up to that point, Constance was an outspoken badass, calling out inequality in the business and challenging those who had more power, like Matt Damon, even before the success of疯狂的富人亚洲人。
然后堆积。在她在Twitter上抱怨必须重新工作之前Fresh Off The Boat, nobody was looking to start sh-t about Constance Wu being an asshole. After thatcame the stories关于她对人的不愉快fotb以及她的bit子疯狂的富人亚洲人。As I wrote at the time, it would be interesting to see how Constance would work to rebound off that stumble.
发行骗子预告片上周是个好消息。反应似乎一般是积极的，我迫不及待想看到它。最后，当积分出现时，您会注意到Constance的名称首先列出。
Credits are always negotiated. The producers don’t just get to decide whose name to throw up there first. It’s about the story, of course, but then it’s about what’s specifically noted in the contract. The biggest star in Hustlers is undeniably Jennifer Lopez, and she’s also a producer. But if you’re going by the acting credits, with Constance’s name at the top, the story is presumably told through Constance’s experience, which we learn from the first scene, when JLo is showing her how to work the pole. And yes, it is alphabetical by first name. But from a storytelling perspective, this tracks. You often want to ground the narrative through the lens of the “novice”, the person who’s just entering the world, so that you can introduce and build that world for the audience. Constance’s agents would have angled for that to be represented when they were securing her deal – that is their job, that’s what they SHOULD be doing. Yes, Jennifer Lopez is the superstar here but Constance’s representatives are representing Constance. If she is carrying the load of the story, absolutely they should be advocating for her credit and her pay to reflect that. So far, so good. If only we stopped there. But of course we didn’t.
According to第六页：
Fresh from her “Fresh Off the Boat” renewal drama, reps for the “Crazy Rich Asians” star’s new film have contacted multiple media outlets to ensure Wu is listed as the headliner for “Hustlers,” above co-stars Lopez — who also produced the film — and Cardi B, Page Six has learned. The film, based on the real story of savvy strippers out for revenge on their Wall Street clients, also stars Julia Stiles, Lili Reinhart and Lizzo.
While “Hustlers” premieres in September, select publications have been walloped with a warning from the studio that Wu must be named first in the press as the film’s biggest star. A source said Lopez and her production partners signed off on Wu’s top billing “a long time ago,” adding, “Constance is in the unique position of being a part of projects that are breaking through Asian-American representation in Hollywood.”
基本上，她的人民一直在与媒体联系，坚持认为康斯坦斯在JLO和其他人的报道中都提到了康斯坦斯的名字。她的公关人员现在正在驳斥该主张……有点？
“Constance had no knowledge or awareness of acts on her behalf of Hustlers to have reporting mirror that of the film’s castings or contractual billings,” a rep for Wutells Us Weekly exclusively。”她和费尔与代表m did engage media outlets to correct misrepresentations of the film’s characters and castings in the spirit of calibrating credits to accurately reflect the guidelines set forth in standard legal contracts.”
“虽然康斯坦斯在骗子中的性格是关键主角，但任何暗示或表明她要求或指示这一最近报道的倡议的报告显然是不真实的，并且对事实的操纵明确，” REP澄清说。“她一直并一直是她所有同胞同伴的骄傲支持者，包括这部电影的庆祝活动并讲述了这个故事。”
耶稣很多话在一起变得很复杂，可以做一个可怕的沙拉。除非……好吧……您正在尝试合理化某些东西，除非……您真的不需要它吗？
Here’s what they’re trying to say:
在顶部，我们被告知康斯坦斯一无所知。但是随后我们发现，销售代表实际上确实与媒体联系，以“在校准信用中正确陈述电影的角色和铸件，以准确反映标准法律合同中规定的准则”。
Um, thank you for all that alliteration. Also, this is pretty much a fancy admission that they DID actually reach out to the media to make sure their coverage adhered to the “guidelines set forth in legal contracts” which likely stated that Constance gets top billing in the movie!
Isn’t this basically a confirmation of Page Six’s story?!?!?
The only difference here is that their version is a lot less direct and that Constance apparently didn’t know that they were doing what they were doing. And if that’s the case, man, Constance might want to consider re-strategising with her management because these people are not making her look good. By the way, they’re the ones who are most likely to read this and get mad at it and yell at me and if that’s the case, go ahead, yell, but also maybe think about whether or not you’ve been showing your work because I’m pretty sure this was not the intended result? Why is this such poor quality communications work?
我想知道这一切如何消失。这是我的理论：如果您Google“ Hustlers Trailer”，您将提出预告片发行的那天发表的几页文章。这是标题的示例。
您会注意到，康斯坦斯的名字不在标题中。和IndieWire是贸易出版物。康斯坦斯在故事中命名，但以下是她的名字出现的方式：
Alongside Lopez, Scafaria has also cast breakouts and standbys like Constance Wu, Keke Palmer, Julia Stiles, Lili Reinhart, Trace Lysette, and Madeline Brewer.
这就是方法好莱坞记者涵盖了Hustlers拖车的发布：
康斯坦斯出现在标题中，但只有在JLO和Cardi B之后，这两个文化中的较大明星都在电影中尤其较小。你明白了。
康斯坦斯和/或她的人民是否为她在报道中迷失方向而生气？这就是为什么以及如何下降？
看，我也有自我。和I won’t pretend that if I were in her position and I was, in the story, the main character, and nobody was paying attention to it, that I wouldn’t feel a way about it, that it wouldn’t sting a bit. Feeling that way and acting on it are two different things. There’s very little upside to acting on it, at least not yet, at least not now. Now, when it’s just the trailer that’s come out, and promotion is the goal, and you promote by using the names you think will attract more people, before people have seen the movie, is it the right time to play that card? For sure, totally, we should “give credit where credit is due”. And when the movie comes out and Constance is indeed what I suspect – the actor who carries the load of the story, the emotional core – and these headlines are still the same, overlooking her contribution? One hundred percent I’d be out here calling it out.
但是我认为您必须让它发挥作用，让作品首先进行交谈，让表演首先成为证据，然后让您的代表出现在那里，就像……嘿，WTF，您没有看到她在做什么这个项目，您不明白她为什么拥有最高的计费吗？您是否没有看到她是如何在名单顶部赢得了这个位置的？那将是我的戏。但是只有那时。而且只有6周的路程。他们为什么要这么早就拉动扳机？
