"Shangqi" is a comic book adaptation of the film must have been heard by many Marvel fans, this film has been released in North America for two weeks, although it has achieved good results, but China as a populous country has always been one of the most watched markets, no big-budget film is willing to let go.
Liu Simu, the lead actor of this film, posted on social platforms to express congratulations and deliberately used Chinese expressed hope that all audiences can have a chance to watch as soon as possible.
Its practical Chinese to do publicity is not to blame, after all, it has not yet been released in the mainland, it is normal to give everyone a wave of expectations first, but in terms of the real situation of this movie and the previous operation of the male protagonist, many netizens do not buy it.
Has always been a huge controversy, does this movie really touch the bottom line of Chinese?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > confusing casting, Liu Simussao's operation intention is obvious</h1>
First of all, Liu Simu can become the male protagonist of Marvel's big IP, and he himself is very surprised that he who has been running the dragon set can get such an honor.
On this issue, someone interviewed Lin Ludi, who starred in "The Extraordinary Force" and "Aquaman", and said that he was brushed off because of his external conditions. And you're asked: Which project do we all think the protagonist should be you?
Lin Ludi's answer was: Who knows? Because the conditions are too good to be brushed off, this does not seem to be the conventional impression of the film and television works of the hero performance.
After all, the Korean Kim So-hyun in "Reunion 2" is a recognized beauty, and the argument that aesthetics are different is simply untenable.
There is also the casting of the heroine, and the two people are still quite compatible. The claim is to create a Chinese hero, because people are good-looking to brush down, this confusing casting is not intentional?
Then Liu Simu's series of operations are confusing, and the film itself is controversial, and the male protagonist directly stated in the live broadcast that it is not pleasing chinese audiences.
The good one belongs to all Asians. See no, this is not a "Chinese hero" at all, it is a "Chinese hero". Speaking is really an art, Liu Simu is a knife into the hearts of domestic netizens.
Next, netizens interviewed female passers-by in the mainland to understand their views on Liu Simu's appearance. 2 of the 4 people gave a positive opinion, one said that he was a little older, and one said that it was not very aesthetic.
If not to mention that the sisters still respect others, the answer is very pertinent and very nurturing. But somehow, Liu Simu stopped doing it again. After reposting the video, he said that no one had ever said that he was ugly, and called it "their" malicious attack.
It really poked at his pain point, people are obviously very polite, he just wrote a small essay to talk about grievances. I thought he was going to go to the end, and then he made a sharp turn of one hundred and eighty degrees.
The last time there was "they" and "they", the next second they began to say that the setting in the comic was not right, there was this problem, that problem, and that he would not let the film have this problem.
Then he began to stand up for the support and historical issues during the epidemic, deliberately too deliberately to be obvious. Obviously seeing the boycott of a large number of Chinese netizens, whether it can be released in the Chinese market is a problem, And Marvel can still let him continue to be so arrogant?
After all, "Venom", which has collected 1.8 billion yuan in the mainland, "Avengers 4", which has reached 4.2 billion, etc., has long allowed them to see the power of the mainland. In order to circle the money, hurry up and make a show.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > touch the bottom line and want to circle money, think too beautiful</h1>
In fact, the operation and casting of the male protagonist are secondary, and it is impossible for the majority of Chinese netizens to attack them, and the most important point lies in the setting in the story.
Liang Chaowei was "scolded" out of the sky by netizens for playing "Mandarin", and the prototype of this character is Fu Manchu, which is full of insults from the name.
The writer who single-handedly created this character wrote more than a dozen novels about Fu Manchu and is well known to the world. However, he admitted in his autobiography that he had never been to China and knew nothing about China.
It is ironic that the so-called "most evil Asian in history" was fabricated by a man who had never been to China, and it is real in the minds of some readers.
However, netizens are not boycotting the image of a Chinese villain, but the son of The Mandarin in the film, the protagonist has the plot of killing his father, and has thrown himself into the embrace of American values.
What does this mean? Fu Manchu, who has obvious slanderous connotations and everyone shouts and beats, and there is also a master who has been reformed in his hometown for the sake of justice and righteousness. The irony of what is already self-evident.
This is not a random speculation by netizens, the Chinese Academy of History on the "Shangqi" on the social platform sent three tweets, plus a forwarding of the Communist Youth League's interpretation of fu Manchu's character video.
It is worth mentioning that the state media also accompanied the text: "Why is the focus not on Shangqi explicitly opposing new China in the comics?" ”
Note that the text says that there is such an act is not the supporting character Fu Manchu, but the so-called "Chinese hero" who is angry.
The 4.2 billion "Avengers 4" is indeed very fragrant, and the love of Marvel fans is also very persistent, but touching the limits of the Chinese people and pretending to curry favor with the circle of money, this arrogant behavior is really ugly.
In the long history of history, there are thousands of Chinese heroes, and there is no need to make up a person who does not conform to the facts and insults and slanders us to attract attention.
And if you really want to earn the mainland market, it is better to recreate an authentic role that meets the aesthetics of the locals, which is called respect.
Some people also commented that the film "Shangqi" is well-made and worth watching, but the most fundamental problem is not whether the film is good or bad, but the attitude as a Chinese. Will you contribute to the box office for this new Marvel movie?
