"Crazy Rich Asians", also known as "Crazy Rich Asians", is a Hollywood film, directed by Zhu Haowei, starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding and Michelle Yeoh. The film was released in the United States on August 15, 2018. Released in China on November 30, 2018. In fact, the film was adapted from the novel "Crazy Rich Asians" by American writer Kevin Kwan. Compared with other movies, it is very special because the actors in the movie are all played by Chinese actors. The general content of the film is that Yang Nick, the heir of the richest man in Singapore, brought his girlfriend Zhu Ruiqiu, who is an American economics professor, back to Singapore to attend a small wedding, which triggered a series of farce stories.

The beginning of the movie is a rainy night. It is raining heavily. Yannick and his mother enter a hotel. Later, they buy the whole hotel because of poor service. To be honest, when I saw this passage at the time, I couldn’t help thinking to myself: So this is the life of a rich man! I didn't know anything... This plot is a good foreshadowing. It not only shows the audience that Nick's family is really, really interesting, but also shows Nick's mother's domineering and resolute style - with a swish, a phone call came over, There is one more hotel under the name. awesome.

The feeling that this movie brings to me is to record the rich days of rich Asians, all kinds of parties, and their lives are really colorful. This movie is too far away for us, so we don't have empathy, we don't try to put ourselves in the character, we just watch it like a story. I personally like this movie quite a bit. This drama can bring joy to people, and at the same time, it can also teach foreign friends some Asian cultural customs, such as making dumplings and so on.

Overall, this is like a fairy tale, as if the prince and the commoner girl fall in love and overcome various difficulties and live happily ever after at the end of the story.

    The opening quote "Napoleon described China as a sleeping lion" is actually an unbeautiful falsehood. According to Yang Ruisong's research, what Napoleon said was never "sleeping lion" but "sleeping", describing the backwardness of the Qing state as if it was sleeping, destined to be surpassed by the active countries in the Far West; Wu Shi Bao took this statement and used it in his English report, and Liang Rengong took Zeng's report and used it in his Chinese paper. Fang added the word "lion" for the first time, but the context was Lao lion: a head is about to be delivered A slaughtered beast. The question is, a Western slander with such a negative allusion, but after skipping a few folds in the middle and pointing directly at Napoleon, it has become a catchy gilded chant by the Chinese. Why? If you understand this answer, you can understand what role this film played when it came out today in 2018.

    The director team of this film, headed by Zhu Haowei, may have opened their minds and had some kind of friendship with Happy Twist, so that this film was put together with this year's "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Li Cha's Aunt" to form a trilogy. It doesn't violate the harmony; from the current point of view, this film is like an unclaimed abandoned baby. It is not made of Asians, nor rich people, nor rich Asians, but it can travel abroad. Crossing the sea set off a frenzy on the other side of the ocean, and, of course, it does not belong to the America where Hollywood is located, but instead opened a window of nothingness for Asians, a window for the West to "peep"; After the material aspect of money is displayed, the second half of the paragraph turns around again and begins to praise "noble love". It may not express material worship so blatantly and uncomfortable, but it also conveys in another way "with Money has everything"; and, in the past, no matter which film I heard "Sweet Honey" and "Full Moon Flower", I would feel that it was a kind of existence that complemented each other, but this time I deeply felt that it might be Teresa Teng and Zhou Xuan were most misunderstood.
