Rap - Introduction
Ma Siwei's voice for insulting Chinese films? It was removed after the ins promotion
Hi, here are three buns that aspire to go to bed early and get up early
In the past two years, after Ma Siwei shifted the focus of his work to China, his popularity can be described as a straight rise, several songs have been out of the circle on short video platforms such as Douyin, and he himself has also appeared in variety shows such as "Rap New Generation" and "Black Afraid Girl" as a mentor.
Not long ago, Ma Siwei released a new song trailer in ins, the work by Ma Siwei, 21savage, rich brian and warren hue four people to cooperate, the lineup can be described as luxurious, yesterday this work has been officially launched. However, this song has plunged Ma Siwei into the whirlpool of public opinion that insults China.
For no other reason, this "lazy susan" is not simply a musical exchange and cooperation, but also a promotional song for the Marvel movie "Shangqi". In fact, as early as 19 years, this "Legend of Shangqi and the Ten Commandments" encountered resistance from many fans, and now it is only the release of the promotional song that has once again triggered a storm.
If you want to understand why "Shangqi" is highly questioned, you have to mention the plot characters involved in it, and its protagonist Shangqi is set to be proficient in martial arts and the use of various weapons, the most commonly used are guns, double sticks and swords, and is known as a "kung fu master". Yes, the character is based on Bruce Lee.
There is no problem with the setting of the protagonist, but the protagonist's father is the main villain of the whole film, Wen Wu, who is somewhat intriguing, the prototype of the role of Wen Wu is "Fu Manchu", "Fu Manchu" first appeared in the book "The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu", he appeared as a Qing Dynasty official, intelligent and evil, good and righteous white people can only struggle to fight it.
Readers familiar with history should have heard the term "yellow peril theory," which preached that yellows were a threat to whites, and that whites should unite against yellows. The appearance of the image of "Fu Manchu" is considered to be anthropomorphic of the "Yellow Peril Theory", and it is precisely because this image has a great influence and has spawned many film and television works, resulting in discrimination against many Asians.
Perhaps also considering the particularity of this song, the release of this new song Ma Siwei only did publicity on ins, but social platforms such as domestic Weibo have not moved, and even the current publicity on ins has been deleted. You should know that this time it is a cooperation with 21savage, such a move has made many domestic netizens suspicious.
In fact, not only Ma Siwei, Wang Jiaer has also provoked a lot of scolding because of this movie before, in the trailer released by Marvel in April this year, some netizens said that the voice of the background bgm is similar to That of Wang Jiaer. Therefore, some people speculate that after Wang Jiaer pushed off the cooperation, Ma Siwei took over the plate.
Today, the topic of #Ma Siwei Shangqi has been on weibo hot search, and in the afternoon it is the fifth place in the hot search list, and Ma Siwei's personal Weibo comment area is currently also a continuous negative comment.
However, whether the film itself insults China is still undecided, after all, the starring cast of this movie also includes stars such as Liang Chaowei, and JD.com and Chengjiaban are also involved in various forms, and the film may have been adapted in some settings.
As for Ma Siwei himself, he has always been reliable in his political stance, from "made in China" to donating money for the Flood Disaster in Henan, Ma Siwei has always appeared in front of the public with a positive image.
It's just that as a facade figure for Chinese rap, Ma Siwei should be more cautious about some commercial cooperation. I hope that Ma Siwei can give a public response later, so as not to let public opinion continue to ferment.
