Going to Hong Kong to watch "The Secret Order of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is crazy enough. An old cinema in a sub-center, with average equipment, 65 Hong Kong dollars, which is not expensive compared to residents' income.
We bought the tickets half an hour in advance, and we had to sit in the second row, almost lying on the chair and watching. The flying scene made people dizzy. Only these stunts made me think that it was acceptable, and the others were lackluster. I still don't understand why the whole world, including Chinese, especially Chinese adults, are so chasing this novel.
What prompted me to say something after watching it was the appearance of a girl named Zhang Qiu in the film. This is an English-speaking Chinese girl with a more Chinese appearance and a flat face. She also came to the wizarding school and was lucky enough to get Harry Potter's first kiss. It's such an interesting setup.
Zhang Qiu's luck will make many Harry Potter fans jealous. But why is Zhang Qiu so lucky? Without him, Zhang Qiu has dipped in the light of China's growing influence and the light of the huge Chinese book fans and movie fans. How could smart writer Rowling and producers ignore the Chinese market?
It's just that there is no magic legend about riding a broom in China, and the magical world in which Harry Potter lives is incompatible with Chinese tradition, so Zhang Qiu can't help but feel embarrassed in it. However, it is difficult to say that the new generation of China, who has been completely cut off from tradition, is afraid that they will "take Hangzhou as Bianzhou".
However, Zhang Qiu's embarrassment is not mainly felt by the Chinese people. It is the author and the white man who feels unhappy. So, finally, after being lucky enough to get Harry Potter's wet kiss and a few affectionate glances, Zhang Qiu was inexplicably banished, and she became a betrayal, even though the betrayal was caused by magic. In fact, attentive viewers will notice that at the same time as Zhang Qiu, there are many people of various races in the Harry Potter team, including black and Indian sisters, but in the end they are all gone, except for the three white partners, There is still a little white girl with blond hair and blue eyes. Looking at the eyes of him and Harry Potter, she is afraid that she will become Zhang Qiu's replacement.
Zhang Qiu's coming and going is precisely the current ambivalent attitude of the West in the face of China's refusal and welcome. Just like Harry Potter, who is curious about this Asian face, but always feels that he is not my race.
