As we all know, it is very difficult for Asian actresses to work hard in Hollywood.
They have a lot of preferential treatment for white actors, and a lot of discrimination for some non-white actors.
Even after 23 years, the issue of race still appears in Hollywood, and the so-called tolerance is just an empty phrase.
Zhang Ziyi
As we all know, Zhang Ziyi is a well-known actress in China,
But even such a capable actress, when she comes to Hollywood, she can't escape being discriminated against.
She once talked about it on a variety show
She even confessed and bluntly,
In fact, Hollywood offers Asian actresses generally flat, face-painted roles.
Hollywood's sense of superiority has always lingered.
She was once shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award at the American Film Festival for the film "Memoirs of a Geisha".
But even so, she will inevitably play some marginal small roles in Hollywood.
She once participated in a Hollywood movie "Rush Hour".
But such a good actor, Hollywood just gave her a cameo role.
This character not only has no name, no identity, and even few lines in the play.
She only had a few shots in the entire movie, and it was gone in an instant.
The most infuriating thing is that Hollywood also claims that being able to give her such a role is already the greatest recognition for her.
It can be seen that Hollywood has a prejudice against Asian actresses.
Here you may get the fame and fortune you want, but it will never make you a truly capable actor.
At that time, she was one of the three heroines of "Thunderbolt Girl", the film.
Obviously, the three people are doing the same job, but the pay is very different.
Later, Liu Yuling chose to fight a lawsuit with the crew of this movie.
Although wages have risen, there is still a big gap.
Hollywood discriminates against the pay of Asian-American actors, as well as their appearance.
Lin Jiazhen
Lin Jiazhen, whose stage name is Awkwafina, was born in the United States.
Her father is Chinese-American and her mother is Korean.
Recently, she starred in the movie "Don't Tell Her", which allowed her to successfully win the Golden Globe Award.
However, domestic netizens were dissatisfied after learning about it, and even made bad comments on social platforms.
Her face is a little bigger, and in short, she is not good-looking in any way.
So there are many netizens commenting:
There are also comments from netizens:
And, some people commented that Lin Jiazhen is a typical example of ugly Asian actresses in the European and American markets.
In fact, the anger of many netizens is not how ugly she looks,
But Hollywood's approach is too disappointing.
Jumanji 2 in '19 illustrates this problem.
In this film, the producers want to open up the Asian market
And this role is called Ming, which is played by an Asian actor.
But what the filmmakers didn't expect was,
The reason is because she played the female snitch in the movie
And in the movie she combs her hair all over to highlight her entire flat face.
So after the film was released in Asia, it caused great controversy.
No Asian can tolerate such discrimination.
But as soon as this news came out, she not only received not the blessings of fans, but the sound of fan abuse.
Many netizens just can't understand that there are such good-looking artists among Asian actresses
And she herself wants to open up, feeling that Hollywood appreciates her acting skills compared to her looks.
epilogue
It can be seen that Hollywood's attitude towards Asian actresses has gradually changed from discrimination to friendliness, but the difference has always existed.
