Since the announcement of the main character selection in mid-2019, the live-action version of "The Little Mermaid" has been in front of the public for two full years.
For this childhood classic comic adaptation, we only receive relevant news intermittently, but what is intriguing is that every time a new news is announced (new casting, theater photo exposure, etc.), it can always attract overwhelming attention, and the tone of public opinion is basically the same as that of the "angry" ---
Why? The reason is reflected in Ariel's real casting. The original white-skinned mermaid princess has now arranged for black singer Harley Bailey to perform.
"Black" is the actor and "The Little Mermaid" is deeply imprisoned in the word of mouth, and in addition, in the eyes of many netizens Harley Bailey's appearance is really awkward, not so much a mermaid, it is better to call it a scavenger or black catfish --- I dare not say anything more about Halle Bailey's appearance, here is only for the introduction and transmission of public opinion.
So under the double attack of black and ugly, "The Little Mermaid" has always been in the water of public opinion.
It was scolded and criticized uninterruptedly, until two years later, when the controversial Disney live-action movie finally came to an end---
On the day of July 13, through the reprinting of reports in the domestic media, we finally knew that the filming of "The Little Mermaid" has completely ended, and the next step will also enter the production of post-editing and special effects, and the burden has shifted from the front-line actors to the behind-the-scenes production staff.
At present, the film has been scheduled for release in 2022, and the specific time has not yet been officially announced, but it is not difficult to taste that post-production will take more than half a year to complete---
Of course, if you have a certain understanding of film and television production, then you must know that the post-production takes a long time than shooting, which is a common phenomenon in the industry. It was only the sudden outbreak of an epidemic that made the filming of "The Little Mermaid" stagnate several times, and had to be delayed until the recent official launch two years later.
This process is not only a nightmare for Disney (during the stagnation of shooting, it is necessary to protect the basic life of employees, and without the launch of new products, multinational companies such as Disney will lose the support of cash flow, and their future imagination space will be greatly compressed).
At the same time, the epidemic has also made a large number of young actors with a bright future stagnate in the most brilliant and dazzling time of life, wasting more than a year in vain, which is absolutely intolerable for the vast majority of actors who "rely on youth to eat".
This, of course, also includes Ariel's character--- black singer Harley Bailey.
So after 3 years of busy work (two years of shooting + one year of casting auditions), after recently seeing that his "debut" finally ended shooting, he couldn't help but express his feelings on his social account---
"That's it. I auditioned from the age of 18 to the age of 21 and finished shooting during the pandemic, and we finally succeeded. I was thrilled to be able to experience all the honors, but at the same time I had times when I was lonely, a feeling of having to be away from friends and family, but now we're finally at the end..."
At the same time as the above sentiments, Halle Bailey did not forget to post a swimsuit photo on the set. At this moment, the sky is high with a yellow sunset, and the golden sunlight spreads over the undulating sea, and the backlit photography method completely blackens the facial features of the black singer. This scene is really a bit intriguing.
In addition, Harriebel also expressed her gratitude to colleagues including Javier Baden, Melissa McCarthy, Jonah Hauer-King, etc., for accompanying her through such an unforgettable shooting experience, and said that she could not wait for fans to see this film with endless love and hard work---
It is undeniable that Halle Bailey's sentiment is really a bit flavorful, and it is not difficult to taste her confidence and optimism.
It's just that this series of good qualities is only in the eyes of netizens, and it is just another kind of groove point strengthening.

There's a saying that goes like, "You have your plan, the world has another plan," and I think it's only appropriate to describe Halley Bailey's current situation.
Because in the comment area of the relevant information, we can see the anger at her---
"Stupid people will go to the cinema to see it, right?"
"Hot Eyes"
"Feelings will become the childhood shadow of this generation of children"
"Please don't discriminate against the color of the fish, next time you can use red snapper essence and koi essence"
"It's definitely going to scare kids"
Obviously, this is a briefing about the "Little Mermaid", and it is also obviously related to Halle bailey's affectionate network post, but in exchange for it is still a sea of anger.
In fact, if you have been following The Little Mermaid, you should know that the above article is not the first time That Halle Bailey has responded. As early as 2019, shortly after the casting was announced, she was deeply involved in the center of public opinion at that time, and she published the following text---
"I am not afraid of gossip, I will insist on playing Ariel's role well, because she is my dream and idol since childhood, I am very grateful for the opportunity to play her, and I am proud of myself." 」
The same is full of self-confident writing style, and at that time also received a one-sided anger from netizens, and even many self-media people wrote articles criticizing Harley Bailey as a "selfish spirit", they think that in the face of overwhelming public opinion condemnation, they will either remain silent to continue their filming work, and they can steal joy for their ability to obtain disney princess qualifications.
However, she prefers to fight against the condemnation of public opinion, is this not the so-called "lack of self-knowledge"? Isn't it just a matter of shouting to the public: What's the matter with you? Sister I like I want to on it!
Is this really none of our business? The answer is obviously no, after all, movies are largely commodities, and the purpose of commodity production is absolutely inseparable from pleasing consumers. So how can she disregard the opinions of consumers and directly anger netizens for online violence?
In this regard, I can only say that "people's sorrows and joys are not the same, I only think hot eyes" This sentence is true!

Of course, the black mermaid that is now entering the game is only the beginning of the disgusting direction of European and American movies.
After all, in the past two years, we have also seen hot-eyed initiatives such as Captain America LGBT, DC will launch black superman, etc., all of which show that Hollywood has been kidnapped by "political correctness", and future content adaptations will only become more and more in the direction of flattering the vulnerable---
As for what is true in history and what respect for the original work will all become secondary existence, then do you say that such a Hollywood movie still has the value of watching?
I only hope that domestic films can step up their efforts and quickly become the existence of a perfect replacement for Hollywood movies.
