Although Hollywood has absorbed film and television elites from all over the world, in this gladiatorial arena of film and television art, and even in the entire art society, Chinese Americans have always been only marginal figures. 【Reading.com】

British, French, Russian, and African-Americans can all have the opportunity to stand in the center of the stage, but Chinese Americans are not qualified to do so.

Chinese can only play Chinese, but cannot play an important role in the minds of world fans, this is not because the bloodline of these Eastern civilizations seems to have a natural sense of estrangement from the West, which cannot be bridged, but the natural sense of superiority formed by the dominant civilization of the West for a long time has caused a natural judgment in people's hearts.

The distinction between race and race...... It is the influence of the whole world for so many years that has formed a powerful psychological suggestion.

In film and television works that face the world, you can accept a white, African-American protagonist, but it is difficult for you to accept an Asian, let alone an Asian playing an aristocratic white man.

China is on the verge of becoming the world's second largest economic power, but what is China's view of the white world? When white people come to China, are they mostly looked up to and respected? When Chinese go to Europe and the United States, they are accustomed to being despised and arrogant?

The economic and military strength of various countries has been constantly changing over the years, but in people's hearts, there is still an impregnable wall of judgment, I am the superior of civilization, and you are a barbaric and ignorant low-level race, no matter how rich and powerful you are, as long as your skin color remains the same, my heart is still nobler than you, more valuable than you.

In front of this "wall of judgment" in the hearts of the people, the black man once knelt down here until he passed by Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith...... It took the struggle of countless black people to break down this high wall and get the respect that the world deserves.

But this process took decades......

Now black actors, who can play military personnel, government officials, presidents, business executives, college professors in Hollywood movies, can be any part of this world, not just "black people."

And at this moment, finally there is a Chinese standing in front of this high wall, he plays a dwarf, he said: "All the dwarfs in the world are no different from illegitimate children in the eyes of their fathers." "The facts

And are Chinese actors all over the world, in the white world, only worthy of playing "Chinese"?

Can there be a Chinese actor who can become an important figure in any capacity?

Can a Chinese-American police chief appear in a future Hollywood movie? Can there be a Chinese-American mayor, a Chinese-American Wall Street elite, or even a Chinese-American president?

If we can't get this kind of "honor" in an illusory movie, how can we be "equal" with you in reality?

When people heard that Gu Xiaofan was going to play this white dwarf, he was criticized countless times, and everyone thought that he was not qualified for the role of this English-speaking white man, but he only used 2 minutes of performance before and after, and left the deepest impression in the audience's minds.

At this moment, the impregnable "wall of judgment" in people's hearts began to gradually crumble, and almost everyone began to feel that Gu Xiaofan had no problem playing this white dwarf, and they actually began to accept a Chinese face to play a European aristocrat? Even if this is in a fantasy world, this is an unprecedented breakthrough.

After so many years, cracks have begun to appear in the civilization barrier built by civilization and media edification, is it Gu Xiaofan's luck?

Absolutely not, Edward, the top elite in Hollywood, is aware of a fact that is difficult for them to accept.

That is, Gu Xiaofan has been preparing for a whole year for a breakthrough in these two minutes, and since the torch incident last year, he has put all his life on this role.

The exposure, the provocation again and again, and the image of the "villain" that can be created, are they all preparations for this 2-minute performance, which will forever remember people's hearts......?

Those who realized this couldn't help but gasp.

is a natural performer...... Of course, I know how to present myself perfectly to the audience on stage.

The reason why this 2-minute performance is so touching is because Gu Xiaofan has been "performing" in the media for a whole year for this role, and then condensed all the emotions and exploded at this moment.

When he brought the power of his own life into the performance, he made the role of "Little Devil" show an incomparably vivid expressiveness.

In the hospital room in Los Angeles, Alan couldn't help but stand up at the same time, kicked him on the hospital bed with a "bang", and gritted his teeth and said: "This bastard has fooled us!" ”

Yes, at this time Edward, Allen and others...... Even all the people who participated in the banning and slandering of the "villains" of the six major companies suddenly realized that they had been thoroughly teased......

In this whole year, Gu Xiaofan is like a director who controls the outline of the script, controlling the overall situation behind the scenes, calculating their every reaction, and the six major have created the effect of the "villain" being hated by all Americans, all of which are the expressive and emotional foreshadowing of the two lines that Gu Xiaofan said in order to increase the "little devil" at this moment.

The Chinese face is the original sin for him to be criticized for, just like I am a dwarf.

All the slanders and accusations created by the six major companies in the major media have become the persecution of the "villains" in the script, and the "little devil" has become a "little devil" on the screen, shouting out Gu Xiaofan's inner "roar" through lines.

"Hear me roar...... Is the language of the Lannisters? Edward, sitting on the couch, was covered in cold sweat and felt for the first time that he had encountered an unfathomable enemy.

They competed with Gu Xiaofan with business and political skills, but Gu Xiaofan fought back from the identity of a performer from an artistic height, and the disparity in power was very different.

ABC, Time Magazine...... All these media offensives are in the journalistic category, and people will only discuss them for a few days, at most a month, and then forget about them.

As a performer, Gu Xiaofan uses the character to express his deafening views and emotions in a work, and the combination of "Little Devil" and his own background will exist in people's hearts and minds for a long time, far more than all media forces.

The media is just a wave in the water, no matter how big the ripple is, it will always return to calm, but the power of art is completely different, it will ferment with time, and thus become more indestructible......

In the HBO TV lobby, the clock on the wall pointed to 8:43 minutes, and Neil and the others barely looked at the TV screen, but gathered around and stared at the ratings curve on their laptops, and the ratings began to climb slowly from the beginning......
