Will Smith's career damaged by Oscars slap

Will Smith's career damaged by Oscars slap

Recently, at the 94th Academy Awards, Will Smith slapped award presenter Chris Rock in the face, which caused heated discussions online. The Board of Governors of the American Film Academy held an emergency meeting to discuss how to punish the famous actor.

The Academy has notified Will Smith that he has violated the Academy's standards of conduct and that the Board of Governors will initiate disciplinary proceedings against him. Smith may provide written explanations before the Board of Governors announces disciplinary action, such as suspension or revocation of membership, at its April 18 meeting.

Academy executives revealed that after the incident, the relevant parties had asked Smith to leave the awards ceremony, but he not only refused to leave but also attended the Vanity Fair celebration ball. (The latest revelation is that the Academy lied about this matter. Not only did they not drive Smith away, but they told him that he could stay. Many people have objections to this. )

Some actors and media people privately stated that they would never vote for any Will Smith work again. They said: "It is outrageous that he danced at the celebration party after beating someone up."

A certain studio believes that the Film Academy should expel Will Smith, which is the correct way to redeem the impact. He can swear to repent in exchange for forgiveness and continue his acting career. If the Academy holds high the stick but hesitates and finally drops it lightly, it will arouse people's resentment towards Smith and damage the image and status of the Academy.

There are also studio executives who said that Smith has been in the industry for many years and has always had a good reputation, so maybe he will be fine after sitting on the bench for a while. However, the company will be more cautious when discussing cooperation with Smith, because now whenever people talk about Smith's works, they will think of the slap in the face.

Smith's new film "Emancipation" is in post-production, and Apple TV, which paid a high price to win the show, declined to comment on the slapping incident. Smith is also the spokesperson for smart wearable product Fitbit, which said it is evaluating the current situation and will not comment for now.

Chris Rock, the victim of the slapping incident, started a talk show tour in Boston, with one show every day at 19:30 and 22:00 from the 30th to April 1st, and the ticket price has skyrocketed more than 10 times. People lined up in front of the theater, expecting Rock to comment on the slapping incident.

Rock lived up to expectations and said as soon as he came on stage: "How was your weekend?" The whole audience laughed, and some audience members shouted: "Fuck Will Smith." But Rock did not respond. He said: "If you want to hear jokes, I have written them a long time ago. As for what happened over the weekend, there is nothing much to say now. I am still digesting that incident, and I will talk about it seriously and lively one day in the future."
