With "Fury Serious Case" surpassing the 1.314 billion box office of "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", Zhen Zidan also overshadowed Andy Lau as the highest-grossing Hong Kong actor in China. The film has also aroused the great attention of foreign counterparts. Recently, Zhen Zidan, who was filming "Fast And Furious 4" abroad, was interviewed by foreign media, and when talking about the Chinese who worked hard in Hollywood, he said: "We have a lot of talented actors. Unfortunately, many American films don't give Asian and Chinese actors enough opportunities to show themselves. ”
Since 2014, the John Wick series has been one of the most ambitious Hollywood action films in recent years, employing an action director from Hong Kong, China, so the film has the fighting style of the hard bridge and hard horse of the golden age of Hong Kong action movies. The killer played by the film's lead actor Keanu Reeves was killed because his dog was killed, thus beginning an "epic" revenge hunt.
The film's director, Chad Stahlski, has starred as a stand-in for the Matrix series; he and another director, David Ricky, are both action directors, and Keanu Reeves is an avid fan of Hong Kong kung fu films.
Eastern and Western cultures were originally located at the corner of the two worlds, but kung fu allowed the straight line extension of the angle to come together. Therefore, "Fast Pursuit 4" to find Zhen Zidan is almost a fatalistic inevitability.
Since the release of "Ip Man 3" in Europe and the United States, the kung fu fever has once again swept abroad. The lead actor Zhen Zidan is respected by foreign film fans as IP MAN, which is ip man's Cantonese harmonic. On the other hand, this translation has a deeper meaning, that is, in order to reflect ip man as a superhero Chinese itself, benchmarking American superheroes such as Spider Man and Iron Man.
In an interview with foreign media, Zhen Zidan talked about the frequent launch of films starring Asians in Hollywood in recent years, and when asked about his views on the recent changes in Hollywood and Marvel's new film "Shangqi", Zhen Zidan said: "To be fair, Hollywood as a whole is trying to change, but it is not enough. He cites food culture as an example: In Los Angeles, how many Chinese restaurants account for them? How many of these Chinese restaurants are outside of the Chinese quarter?
Zhen Zidan also expressed his own series of questions: "After the above filtering, how many of the remaining Chinese restaurants are truly authentic?" Did they do research on our culture, our language, our dress, our communication? "I don't want to criticize people, and I honestly appreciate the progress that's changed now compared to ten to twenty years ago, and I have a lot of respect for that." But at the same time, there's a lot more they can do. ”
The reason why Zhen Zidan takes Chinese restaurants as an example is actually very simple, Chinese food and Chinese kung fu are the two most direct and effective ways for the West to understand Chinese civilization. In 1994, Ang Lee directed "Eating Men and Women" as a "stepping stone" for his future investment in Hollywood, and the film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film the following year. The ritualistic way of cooking Chinese food by the old drama Bone Langxiong makes foreigners marvel at it: Is making Chinese food magic?
In 2000, Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon came out, a film that once again subverted Westerners' perception of Chinese-language films. Watching Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong's duel on the bamboo forest was like a flying fairy in the sky, the Oscar judges were truly intoxicated. As a result, the film won four awards, including the 73rd Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, which is also the first film in the history of Chinese-language films to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
In recent years, Hollywood has indeed emerged a lot of film and television dramas starring Chinese, from "Wasteland" starring Wu Yanzu to "Picking Gold" starring Yang Ziqiong, Jiama Chen, Wu Tianmin, okafina starring, these works have a high popularity among ordinary audiences, but they have never been recognized by authority, and the Hollywood bigwigs who hold the right to speak seem to shield those Chinese actors who are working hard. To date, no Chinese-American actor has won a mainstream American acting award.
Many American viewers believe that "Wasteland" is the best TV series they have ever seen in a martial arts scene, but when the drama did not win any Emmy nominations in 2018, Wu Yanzu angrily denounced the unfair selection in social media posts: "Why do you think this happened?" Why do you think the industry has no love for us? ”
Racism and racial discrimination have been a persistent problem in the country since the founding of the United States, and U.S. Magazine has been a persistent problem in the country. News & World Report once said, "America is a paradoxical country when it comes to race. This is also just as Zhen Zidan said: "A common problem faced by Chinese actors in Hollywood is stereotyping and performing according to the ideas of the Western world, resulting in character excavation can not be carried out in depth." ”
