Tell me about this new Marvel comic film objectively, and see if my reasons are right.
First of all, the setting of the background characters in the movie Shang Qi is totally unacceptable. The original setting of the background characters in this film originated from Bruce Lee. The beginning of Bruce Lee era brought the rise of new images of orientals. In the eyes of many Americans, Bruce Lee's kung fu is a superpower, and his image is more like a superhero.
Shang Qi's male master is a Qigong master with Bruce Lee as his image.
Look at the plot design of the background. Shang Qi's father is from China and his mother is a white American. The man was born in Hunan, China. Although he has been learning kung fu with his father, he has discovered his father's evil more and more, and he has also found that people around him are in hot water. Seeing this, I don't want to say anything. What does this background mean?
Then, he repented, broke with his father and found the hero's home on the other side of the Atlantic!
Look, what background setting is this! Finally, an oriental hero was born, and he went to the other side of the Atlantic to seek a home!
Second: choosing a role is really not aesthetic! There is no desire to see at all. This woman, I'm drunk! The face value of the female host is really terrible, with small eyes and a very ugly face. I just want to say that I feel a little sick. Is there such a big gap in choosing roles?
Long before this movie, Hollywood made similar oriental stories, such as Mulan. It's a pity that in Mulan, except for Liu Yifei and other characters, the grievances in the audience's hearts were slightly alleviated, and all of them basically threw themselves into the street! The box office is not good, not red, not hot.
This time, Shang Qi came again. Shang Qi's image originated from Bruce Lee. When choosing a candidate, this person chose Liu Simu, a Canadian Chinese actor.
According to the data, Liu Simu was born in 1989, a native of Harbin, China, and immigrated to Canada at the age of 5. After this picture was released, it was vomited by netizens. It is generally believed that he is not only plain, but also very old.
In this film, Tony Leung Chiu Wai was first rumored to play the infamous "Man Da Ren", and later the media reported that Tony Leung Chiu Wai had communicated with the film. According to the latest announcement, Tony Leung Chiu Wai's role has been changed to "Wu Wen", and his identity seems to be the father of the man.
It was said that the father of the man was a villain, so can we say that Tony Leung Chiu Wai played the villain? Tony Leung Chiu Wai, the most handsome character in the play, plays an ugly character who is not very good. I don't know how to evaluate.
There is a sense of Hollywood superiority everywhere in Shang Qi, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Shang Qi's male host is almost as dissatisfied with his surroundings and his father's behavior as the black widow. Then influenced by the culture of Avengers, and then accepted. The more I look at this, the worse I feel. How does it work? Come on, director and screenwriter, tell us about our culture for thousands of years. How did you influence it?
"Shang Qi" has been changed at present, but it may not have much effect. When it was first publicized, it caused great negative comments. Later, the screenwriter revised the film. After all, the film market situation in China is very good at present, unless the writers are a little funny.
In the latest trailer, the film changed the settings in the comics. The man was still very angry, took the lead in killing his father and became his own mother, not those so-called "justice". At the same time, it preserved Shang Qi's blood and martial arts heritage, and affirmed the oriental culture.
At first, the villain's name was Lord Man, which was very unsightly and was resisted by many netizens. Now, Tony Leung Chiu Wai's role has been renamed as "Wu Wen", which means Wu Wen and Wu Wen, apparently to please the China market.
The only thing worth looking forward to is that when all the Ten Commandments are collected, the dragon can be summoned. This dragon is also an element of China, and its legendary strength is amazing! It will also become an angry mount. But, on the whole, there is no desire to see at all.
When people in China watch Hollywood movies, they often watch special effects, not stories or plots. We like other works of Marvel comics, in which the special effects are greatly increased.
For example, we like Iron Man, one is his wisdom, and the other is his cool armor full of science fiction, which holds up a sky in Marvel comics.
Besides Iron Man, there is Captain America. Do you think we will like his "I can fight all day" terrier? No, we like his face value and his American ass. We like the black widow, not because of her personality or her background, but because of her beautiful figure.
Simply put, it is the special effects and value of some starring roles.
In a word, "Shang Qi" does not have attractive male and female protagonists who conform to the aesthetics of China people, nor does it have big scenes and cool special effects. Coupled with the suspicion of insulting China, this film is doomed to be unpopular.
