Since "Iron Man 1" began, Marvel has gradually reversed its decadence and has become one of the most profitable companies in Hollywood. With the end of "Spider-Man 2", the third phase of the Marvel universe ends. As the fourth stage is about to begin, it is said that Marvel will launch it as a Chinese hero.
It is said that the man in the movie "Shangqi" is Zheng Shangqi. He is a martial artist with a height of 178 and a weight of 79kg. It is said that during the audition, the company requires that the male lead must be of Chinese descent, and the age will be between 20-29. As soon as the news came out, domestic netizens immediately became excited, and Peng Yuyan, Chen Wenting, Huang Zitao, Xiao Zhan and others became popular candidates.
Marvel decided to choose a Chinese hero to join the reunion, which can be said to be an emphasis on the Chinese market. But as for the selection of roles from popular Chinese stars, this question may be a big question mark. In addition to height, weight, and age, there are also a large number of factors that determine these idols will not be selected.
First of all, as we all know, Marvel started to stand up again from "Iron Man". Although Rot Downey Jr. is famous as the lead actor, he was just released from prison at that time and his popularity was at the lowest point. Marvel finally signed Downey with a $500,000 salary.
in the subsequent series of movies released by Marvel, especially works with male protagonists, most of them used some unknown actors. Chris Hemsworth also did various jobs before starring in Thor. Since 2004, Chris started his experience of failing auditions. Even if it succeeded in winning some roles later, it was still a supporting role, and there was no waves. It was not until 2011 that Marvel targeted him that Chris became a popular Hollywood star. Similarly, the actor Chris Pratt and Hammer have similar experiences. To sum up, it can be said that Marvel's basic routine is to praise a star rather than relying on a certain star to win the attention of the movie. The second important reason for
is the aesthetic difference between East and West. Who is the most popular Chinese star in Hollywood now is not Zhang Ziyi, nor Fan Bingbing. But Liu Yuling. In April of this year, Liu Yuling became the fourth Chinese actor to leave a famous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Although Liu Yuling is well-known in Haolai Ming, there are big disputes about her appearance in China. The beauties considered in China are generally big eyes, double eyelids, high nose bridge, etc. And Liu Yuling has dark skin and freckles on her face. As far as it looks, if she were in China, I am afraid that no director would choose her as the heroine.
But Liu Yuling is a typical oriental face in the eyes of Westerners. Think about the appearance of Mulan in Disney's anime back then, with dark skin, slender eyes, thick lips, and a flat nose...Look at An Yousen, the male protagonist of the upcoming Liu Yifei version of "Mulan". The looks of Peng Yuyan, Chen Weiting and others do not fit the Western definition of the eastern face.
These are not isolated cases. There were people who took pictures of four Chinese people for the selection of foreign friends. As a result, Ouyang Nana, Yang Ying, and Fan Bingbing were all knocked out by Sister Feng.
It's a happy thing, but it's another matter whether you can choose a male lead that everyone is satisfied with. Marvel’s first Chinese hero will be born, and the aesthetic differences between the East and the West are so great. Do you still have any hope for this?
