On April 19, Yang Mi, the topic queen of the entertainment industry, once again became the focus of attention. However, what made her on the hot search this time was not her beauty or new relationship, but a promotional video of the new movie "There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot" starring her. This promotional video was originally intended to show how Yang Mi went deep into the role, but it unexpectedly sparked a social discussion about respect and understanding.
In this movie, which will be released nationwide on May 1, Yang Mi cooperates with the famous cross talk actor Yu Qian to jointly interpret a life story about ordinary people. In order to make the character more three-dimensional and realistic, Yang Mi has put a lot of effort into modeling. However, it was her devotion to the role that inadvertently touched the sensitive points of the public.
In the promotional video, Yang Mi introduced in detail how she chooses clothes for the role, and how to show the ordinary and ordinary of the character through these seemingly fashionable but low-quality clothes. She mentioned that although these clothes look good, they are all "free shipping from an e-commerce brand". This was supposed to highlight the civilianization of the character, but such a statement made some netizens feel offended.
"Does wearing cheap clothes mean that life is unsatisfactory?" such doubts have come and gone on the Internet. Many netizens said that they usually buy free shipping on this e-commerce platform, but it does not mean that their lives are cheap or unsatisfactory. They don't feel ashamed to go out in such clothes.
And what further escalated this turmoil was Yang Mi's next remarks about nail art. In order to get closer to the character, Yang Mi proposed to imitate the effect of mixing new nails with old nails that have not been replaced for a long time. In the promotional video, she even took the hand of a female staff member as an example to show the effect she wanted.
This scene immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Many netizens believe that this kind of behavior lacks respect for ordinary staff and gives people the feeling of "basing their own happiness on the pain of others". If you think about it from your own perspective, you will feel very embarrassed and uncomfortable.
"Have stars and directors forgotten what ordinary people's lives are?" are becoming more and more popular on the Internet. Netizens have said that the current entertainment industry has created a huge gap with ordinary people, and they can't understand how ordinary people with a monthly salary of three or four thousand live, nor can they experience the mentality and emotions under this lifestyle.
This turmoil caused by a promotional video not only made Yang Mi and her new movie the focus of public opinion, but also triggered people's rethinking of respect and understanding. In this seemingly glamorous entertainment industry, can celebrities really understand and interpret the stories of ordinary people, and will their words and deeds inadvertently hurt the people they are trying to portray and express?
These are questions that deserve everyone's deep thought. For Yang Mi and her team, this turmoil may also be a reminder: while pursuing artistic expression, don't forget to respect and understand the life and emotions of every ordinary person. Only in this way can we create works that truly touch people's hearts.
