Some time ago, after watching "The Great Wall", what puzzled me was: why is it that the superhero who saves the world is still a white western male when a Chinese director makes this type of film? Why are Chinese male stars still not endowed with sexual charm in the film?
Up to now, the domestic box office of "The Great Wall" is about 1.1 billion, which is far lower than the expected box office.
If a Chinese male star uses sexual charm to conquer Hollywood female stars in the same type of international production, it is absolutely possible to create a box office miracle in China.
It's just such a movie that Western audiences may not buy it.
But if you find a Hollywood actress who is sexy enough and glamorous enough and not well-known, the salary is not very high, so as to control the cost. In this way, there is no need to consider whether Western audiences will buy it.
Let Chinese male stars conquer this Hollywood actress with their sexual charm in the film, and let them talk about an earth-shattering love.
A film like this can fully satisfy the desire of countless Chinese men to serve the country.
Saw a Star Wars Story: Rogue One today. For such a Hollywood blockbuster, the aesthetic has long been exhausted. The reason why I watched this movie for the first time was mainly because Jiang Wen participated.
Before watching, I specially looked at the ranking of the main actors, and found that Jiang Wen was ranked very low. Don't even think about it, Jiang Wen must be mainly responsible for making soy sauce in this film.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen, who played soy sauce in this movie, were endowed with a little sexual charm by Hollywood.
This may be the first time Hollywood has endowed Chinese male stars with sex appeal, but it is not opposites attracting...
Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen are making jokes in this movie like they are talking about cross talk. You can also say that they are flirting, in short, they are full of love.
In the end, after Donnie Yen did something, Jiang Wen held him in his arms and stared at him affectionately for a long time, and then Jiang Wen resolutely did something like that...
To avoid spoilers, I won't go into too much detail here.
It is really intriguing that Hollywood has used such a method to make Chinese male stars have a little bit of sexual charm in Hollywood blockbusters.
Why does Hollywood blockbuster almost never make Chinese male stars or even male stars from eastern countries have strong sexual charm? In addition to commercial considerations, the issue of cultural hegemony must also be involved.
This is a very complicated question, but it is also a very simple one. If more and more Chinese men can become very sexy in real life, they can fascinate Western women. At that time, more and more Chinese male stars will naturally be endowed with the sexual charm that dumps all beings in Hollywood blockbusters.
How can Chinese men become very sexy? The problem is more complicated. This question is related to economics, politics, and culture...
Of course, what many Chinese call sexy now is almost entirely Western-style sexy. So the question arises again, do Chinese men have to be very Western in order to be sexy? Can you find a way to come up with a Chinese-style sexy cultural value system, and then export the values, so that Westerners also begin to recognize Chinese-style sexy? Maybe this is the so-called rise of great powers...
A bit too far, back to Rogue One. For Star Wars fans, this movie may hold a special meaning. But for a non-Star Wars fan like me, this is a typical Hollywood blockbuster with all sorts of clichés that make me sleepy. Then I finally fell asleep and fell asleep for about ten minutes. When I woke up, I found that my sleep had little effect on understanding the development of the plot.
