I have never understood why Li Meiqi, who looks like an Asian, has so many roles, and thinks that she also starred in Nikita for 4 seasons. We all understand that Hollywood has always been the world of whites and blacks, and the weight of Asians in it is almost negligible. Thousands of American dramas and Hollywood movies, you can hardly find an Asian as the first protagonist. Most of the roles played by Asians are either pitiful victims, cowardly and marginalized figures, and slightly better, nerdy programmers. This is very consistent with the impression that Westerners hope for Asians, in short, leadership, personality charm, appeal, so that the positive image of sunshine will not appear in Asian characters, especially Asian male characters.
Li Meiqi seems to be a special case. In the American TV series Nikita, she is a special agent, and here too, both dramas have spent a lot of pen and ink, describing that she is not afraid of hardships in pursuit of the truth, and she is always alone in danger. People around her who can infect this mental power, whether it is her colleague, her boss, or the director of other departments, or even the president, give her the green light and regard her as a hero. Such a positive image is very rare. Although Li Meiqi was born in the United States and is an authentic American, it is not easy to get to this point in Hollywood with an Asian face.
Regarding the main line, it is still more typical that the two lines go together. One is Xiaoqiang as a designated survivor, after the Congressional explosion, as president, he responded to various crises at home and abroad, and made efforts to rebuild the new government; the other line is Xiaoqiang's command and investigation of the congressional bombing behind the scenes. This was Li Meiqi's first discovery, followed up by herself, and later merged with Xiaoqiang. The two lines go hand in hand, the new president with a gentle and academically inclined personality, how to lead the White House amidst doubts is the highlight of each episode of this show, and how they find out the truth about the Congressional bombings is this one. The suspense that the play maintains is solved little by little, just like peeling an onion, the suspense always stays at the end.
