Recently, the new film "No Thing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" starring well-known actor Yang Mi encountered a storm in the publicity stage. Originally, it was to show Yang Mi's dedication and in-depth understanding of the role, but the makeup tidbits video released by the filmmaker unexpectedly aroused the dissatisfaction and criticism of the majority of netizens.
In the video, the filmmaker claimed that Yang Mi even designed details such as nail art herself, trying to prove her devotion and understanding of the role. However, netizens have said that such propaganda techniques are not only too far-fetched, but also too far away from ordinary people's lives, which seems extremely ungrounded.
What makes netizens even more unacceptable is that Yang Mi pulled the staff to perform nail art examples in the video. This move was interpreted by some netizens as a mockery and trampling of ordinary workers, believing that Yang Mi showed the gap between himself and the staff in front of the camera, which caused huge psychological pressure on the staff.
As there were more and more negative voices in the comment section, the filmmakers had to quickly delete the controversial clip. However, the discussion of wealth and poverty extended by Yang Mi's nail art did not stop there.
This incident makes us have to think about how far is the distance between celebrities and ordinary people, and should we also take into account the feelings and cognitions of ordinary audiences while pursuing artistic effects and character building?
I hope that this turmoil can bring some inspiration to the filmmakers, so that they can be more cautious and down-to-earth in future promotion, so as to avoid similar problems from happening again. At the same time, we also expect Yang Mi to show his acting skills and charm in the new film, and bring the audience a good work that is really worth watching.
