On November 20, according to US media reports, 36-year-old Hollywood actress "Black Widow" Scarlett Johansson attended an awards event yesterday accompanied by her husband Colin Jost, which is also her first public appearance after giving birth to her son Cosmo in August this year, and talked about the lawsuit with Disney about the Marvel series of movies, "I hope all filmmakers can respect the artists!" ”
Yesterday night, Scarlett Johansson appeared in a top studded with crystals, looking very charming and beautiful. She has gained a lot from film this year, and has won this year's American Film Institute Honorary Award, and her career is smooth. However, during her pregnancy in July this year, she was dissatisfied with the fact that "Black Widow" was launched in theaters at the same time as Disney+, causing her box office dividends to plummet, so she angrily sued the distribution company Disney and demanded $50 million, which caused a hot discussion in Hollywood.
Later, Disney paid Scarlett Johansson $40 million for settlement, and the dispute was resolved. Scarlett Johansson explains, "I'm glad that others don't have to go through what I've been through, and I think it's having a positive impact on the industry, especially for the lives and livelihoods of artists and creatives." ”
Scarlett Johansson is the winner of the 35th American Film Institute Awards, which recognizes the recipient's outstanding artistic contribution to film, arguably the lifetime achievement level, and her former partner "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. also won the award. But she joked at the event: "When I was first told I was awarded this award, I thought, 'Wait, is my career over?' I'm still in the middle of my life and career. It was a unique experience and it was really special to digest it all. I was very flattered. ”
Scarlett Johansson emphasizes that she loves her job, "I'm on my track, and I love my job now, more than I used to." I think I'm very focused, and I'm getting better and more efficient, exploring the self that I resisted exploring, keeping a curious heart, and applying it in my work, I'm still in the middle of my career, so I haven't been able to think about what to leave for posterity, because I'm still very engaged. ”
Scarlett Johansson told the media that she was glad she had taken an act of defending herself against Disney, even though it was "a little intimidating" at first and felt like "uncharted territory" because almost no one in the industry had ever taken such an action, "I'm glad to be able to stand up for the right thing, and in the end I'm grateful that other people don't have to face this kind of thing anymore, so I feel good, I feel like I'm finally making progress."
