On May 24, Liu Simu, the star of the Marvel movie "Shangqi", opened his own Weibo account and said that he was very happy to communicate with everyone and would try to learn Chinese. His aggressive business in China has made many netizens can't help but go to his Weibo to say hello to him.
If you have previously questioned why a small actor with 18 lines can be selected to star in Marvel's blockbuster movie "Shangqi", and you can also let Liang Chaowei match him, after reading his Weibo, you will find the answer.
Liu Simu had a small unpleasant episode before opening Weibo. A week ago, Liu Simu released the cover and photo of a fashion magazine, and he not only showed off his muscles, but also challenged various difficult moves.
Liu Simu is the first East Asian actor and model in history to appear on the cover of the magazine, which should have been a thing worth celebrating, but the focus of netizens was all on his appearance, and many netizens attacked him on appearance.
Coincidentally, Liu Simu had a friend who told him how to translate Weibo comments, so he saw these attacks on his appearance. He also captioned sooo glad...
I don't know if I was surprised by the comments of netizens, or Whether I was excited that I discovered the function of Weibo translation.
In short, at 1:22 p.m. on May 24, this ordinary moment, Liu Simu sent his first Weibo in China, in which he said hello to Chinese netizens with a fluent Chinese, and the tone was cordial like the second uncle who asked you if you did well in the New Year.
What is more wonderful than Liu Simu's Weibo is his interaction with netizens in the comment area, he boldly interacts with netizens and asks netizens questions to him, so he experiences the enthusiasm of Chinese netizens.
One of the most conspicuous comments in the comment area is that a netizen asked him in English about the color and brand of the underwear he wore today, and he generously replied to the netizen that the underwear he was wearing was red, and also reported the name of the brand. At this time, the editor's inner OS is the same as the majority of netizens; "One really dares to ask, one really dares to answer!" ”
Some netizens are more concerned about his mental health and ask him how he feels when he is criticized for his appearance. Liu Simu generously said that some people like burgers, some people like pizza, some people like fried sauce noodles...
He listed a lot of delicacies like the name of the dish, and the meaning he wanted to express was that different people have different tastes, and the editor upgraded this passage to a certain extent: there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.
Liu Simu not only looked very cheerful about the fact that his appearance was attacked, but also learned to laugh at himself. Some netizens asked him "How old are you?bro", and he solemnly emphasized: "I'm 32 but I look 50!"
Many netizens are "laughing to death" by this back-and-forth dialogue in the comment area. Visually, Liu Simu will rely on a humorous personality circle to circle a wave of fans.
Liu Simu not only has a humorous personality, but also has strong muscles. He replied in the comments section that he should exercise 2-3 times a week, and it does not include playing basketball.
In order to shoot "Shangqi", he had to do 6 hours of physical exercise every day for the first 6 months of shooting, 4-5 hours of stunts and martial arts, 1-2 hours of strength and bodybuilding. His martial arts and tai chi were also learned from the Chinese stunt team.
I have to say that Liu Simu did suffer a lot in order to shoot "Shangqi", and at the same time worked very hard.
Enthusiastic netizens like a team of reporters, asked a variety of questions about Liu Simu, who interacted with netizens in the comment area and revealed some of his hobbies.
When mentioning his favorite Chinese films, he mentioned "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, Chow Sing Chi's films "Shaolin Football", "The King of Comedy", "The King of New Comedy",
There is also the domestic animation movie "Nezha".
It seems that Liu Simu still pays attention to Chinese movies even if he lives abroad.
As we all know, in addition to the Chinese actor Liu Simu, the actor of "Shangqi", there is also the charming film emperor Liang Chaowei, who has conquered countless men, women and children in China.
Some netizens were curious to ask Liu Simu's evaluation of Liang Chaowei. He makes no secret of his admiration, and he sees his cooperation with Liang Chaowei as the realization of his dream. He praised Liang Chaowei for his talent, humility and kindness, and was always patient with an inexperienced actor like him.
This is also the reason why so many fans like Liang Chaowei, it seems that Liang Chaowei's character has been the same for ten years and has never deteriorated. Congratulations to Liu Simu for "getting the real" Liang Chaowei!
Liu Simu also mentioned that his favorite Marvel movie is "Thor 3: Twilight of the Gods", which has resonated with many netizens.
I don't know if it was "Hela" played by Cate Blanchett who attracted him, or the "hammer brother" who was as muscular as Liu Simu.
Unexpectedly, the interaction between Liu Simu, who was scolded a circle, and the interaction with Chinese netizens was not only sincere, but also interesting, it was simply a treasure boy, and everyone knew why he could play "Shangqi".
Born in 1989 in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China, Simu Liu immigrated to Canada at the age of 5 and is a Chinese Canadian actor.
In 2012, he began to enter the show business and began his obscure career as an actor, starring in many small and unknown roles.
Until 2019, Marvel's first movie about Chinese superheroes "Shangqi" official cast, Liu Simu's name quickly became popular at home and abroad, and his appearance, his origin and background have become the focus of public discussion.
Liu Simu is a "18" line actor in the eyes of many Chinese netizens, but in the eyes of Marvel executives, he is both Chinese, english-speaking, and has martial arts skills.
Before Marvel opened the casting stage, there were many netizens nominated Peng Yuyan, Zhen Zidan and other well-known kung fu actors, Liu Simu and these two actors are like fledgling small actors, naturally to endure a controversy and ridicule, which is inevitable.
Small eyes, single eyelids, and high cheekbones are the consistent aesthetics of Westerners for Asians, and also the reason why many Chinese netizens feel that Liu Simu's appearance is not brilliant.
It is such a mediocre actor, when Marvel announced the production of "Shangqi", he introduced himself on his social account, spoke to Marvel, and expressed his desire to talk to Marvel.
Because of his sincerity and initiative, Marvel not only talked to him, but also signed an agreement with him, and his acting career was reversed.
Liu Simu and "Shangqi" seem to have a fateful fate, and in 2014, he also left a message to Marvel: "I appreciate your "Captain America" and "Thor", so when can you consider an Asian-American hero?" ”
Now that his wish has come true, the Asian hero has been entrusted with the responsibility of waiting for this role not only for 6 months of training before filming, but also for the emergence of Asian American heroes, he has waited for 7 years.
"Shangqi" seems to be a big cake that everyone envies, but in Liu Simu's hands, it becomes a hot potato. He was insulted on the Internet for his appearance, and once self-doubted to the point of dynamic self-deprecation: Am I really ugly?
Before filming "Shangqi", his life as an actor was not much better. His image once appeared in the template of PPT material, he was either wearing a suit to play a business person, or wearing a hard hat to play a worker, and a group of extras smiling at the camera.
Liu Simu himself said of the experience: "These pictures he took appeared in the stores of major textbook advertisements and merchants, but the job only paid him $100." ”
Even Liu Simu, who has acted in several American dramas, is so inspirational, what reason do we have not to work hard?
On April 19, "Shangqi" released its first trailer, Liang Chaowei is so charming even if he wears a simple white shirt to play the villain, with his own aura. The treatment of our male protagonist Liu Simu is not so good.
He wore a red suit in the trailer, which was dressed up by netizens who complained: "This plastic vest is 10 yuan 3 pieces in Yiwu, and you can smell the plastic smell of formaldehyde across the screen." But some netizens think that Shangqi's outfit is similar to the one worn by Captain Marvel, and it is not so unbearable.
In any case, in fact, Liu Simu has always been in the whirlpool of public opinion from his appearance to his appearance.
In the trailer, Katy, played by Okofina, rides the bus wildly in the city, and cooperates with Shangqi, played by Liu Simu, to save the lives of the whole car.
Liu Simu's fight scene in the bus is very clean and neat, not only with the helper on the bus to jump up in the air, let the bad guy eat a scud leg, but also kick one by one, kicking the bad guy to the ground, showing the power of Chinese kung fu.
This bus protection section is reminiscent of the plot of Spider-Man picking up a train in the Marvel movie "Spider-Man 2".
However, compared with Spider-Man, Shangqi has no spider web, only bare-handed, and the fight scene is more blood-boiling.
"Shangqi" will be released in North America on September 3, and there is no final news in the mainland. Now that Mu has become a boat, I expect Liu Simu to use his Chinese kung fu to break prejudice in the movie!
