Lulu Wang

Lulu Wang Instagram – I’ve been thinking a lot about soft power vs hard power. Hollywood is known for its pursuit of hard power – “money, fame, external influence and affirmation, power and scale” (as said beautifully by @veramiao who always leads me to think in more expansive ways). But in embracing soft power, we can choose to only make things we love, and choose to only work with those we feel we can create meaning with. I could not have chosen more incredible partners than @sarayublue and @brian_tee and it gives me such immense joy to watch them show their full range in these roles. Soft power is @nicolekidman allowing us to use her name and prestige to create a platform for so many other talented folks who don’t often get offered the same kind of meaty roles. I hope to see more leverage of soft power to shift culture and expand narrative perspectives. Thank you @therebeccasun for this insightful piece spotlighting two stars that have so much more shine in them than we can even imagine. | Posted on 24/Feb/2024 22:52:03
