Scenario one:
John Dutton visits the farm and finds a Chinese tour group on his property to watch a wild black bear. In order to protect everyone's safety, Old John drove away everyone with a shotgun, and declared that the surrounding farms belonged to his private territory. An old Chinese man responded: "One person shouldn't own so much land, you should share it with others." John fired a warning shot, and everyone fled back to the car in a panic. The old Chinese man crawled over the barbed wire, and John caught up and said coolly, "This is America, and we don't share land here."
If this episode is brought into the perspective of the protagonist, it is very cool and enjoyable. U.S. law does allow firing a gun to drive out a territorial intruder, and shooting an intruder is legally exempt under certain conditions. In order to take care of the global audience, the screenwriter also deliberately set the existence of black bears to add rationality to John Dutton's behavior. The contradiction between the two sides lies in the cultural conflict in the background of different countries. Since the background of the play is set in American society, John Dutton's behavior is naturally legal and reasonable.
The screenwriter designed these premise, nothing more than want to blacken China's "grandma tour group". I also think Big Mom tour groups are annoying and deserve to be hacked. But I think the screenwriter still doesn't know enough about the group of "Chinese aunts", and seriously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the aunts. If I were to shoot, the plot should be like this:
The tour group was approaching Yellowstone National Park, and an aunt was forced to stop by the roadside. A group of aunts jumped over the railings to enter the farm, but the tour guide's dissuasion was ineffective, and the aunts happily took pictures of concave shapes on the grass. John Dutton appears, trying to expel the crowd. The fighting power of the aunts soared, and they gathered around to scold John Dutton, and some people even tore John Dutton's clothes. John Dutton fired a warning shot, and the aunts left in small steps, swearing and losing face. John Dutton rude: son of a bxxxh.
This is enough for China.
Scenario two:
Li Pu went up the mountain to fight black bears, and encountered a Chinese couple who were lost on foot and were chased by bears and hung on the cliff. To the rescue, Li Pu reached down the cowboy rope and told the "Chinese girl" named Kim that he could only pull up one at a time (the man didn't speak English). The couple scrambled for the rope on the cliff, and the girl fell to her death. When the boy saw the girl die, he also loosened the rope and sacrificed for love.
This episode marked the couple as selfish, impulsive, and disregarding the overall situation, which made people feel like they were dead. I was uncomfortable watching this episode, not because it blackened Asians, but because of a strong sense of disobedience. If it is an authentic Chinese, this episode should be made up like this: the couple insist on being pulled up at the same time, or let each other rope lead to delaying the rescue time, and eventually lead to the fall and death of love. Although the couple has an Asian face and can speak a few words of Chinese, their behavior is not "Chinese" at all. This kind of selfish and impulsive character is actually very "American". Just imagine, if the boy who is fighting for the rope is replaced by a white fat man, does the plot immediately feel a lot more reasonable?
I didn't like the black Chinese plot in this episode because it was so lame that it didn't get to the point. The Chinese old man thinks that "you should share your wealth with other people", which is not Chinese at all, more like the view of a billionaire like Bill Gates. Chinese people have never been willing to share wealth, and wish to pass on all power and assets to their descendants. It is estimated that this screenwriter took the word "Communist" for the meaning of the text.
I don't dislike the appearance of black China in American dramas. As two superpowers, the ideological confrontation between China and the United States is long-standing. The more Americans are worried about the threat of China, the more they like to have negative Chinese characters in film and television works, just like they used to like to use Russians and Arabs as roles. The same as the antagonist. The kindness of Americans is always a kind of pity from the top. Only those weak chicken countries that have no threat will be portrayed as happy and kind people by them. From this perspective, I hope that the image of our Chinese people in American dramas will always be harmonious. Just like those little Japan in the anti-Japanese drama.
