In the eyes of white audiences, is Gu Xiaofan a "villain" with bad morals, or a "little devil" with a disgusting face? This issue presents two absolutely opposing camps among the majority of fans. 【】

The American public who have not watched "Game of Thrones" will always remember the scene of him standing at the torch relay ceremony and chanting from the broadcast car, thinking that he is definitely a fierce terrorist.

For fans of "Game of Thrones", Gu Xiaofan, a Chinese actor, is a really misunderstood good person, because whether it is outside the series, but in the plot, he gives people a sense of kindness and integrity, and he is just misinterpreted by the media.

But whether you like him or not, in people's hearts, they will unconsciously think that a Chinese like Gu Xiaofan, as an actor, is an absolute weakling in Hollywood.

You see, in order to play an English role, he can only choose an ugly dwarf as a breakthrough......

So putting aside the influence of his personal events, just in terms of performance, people are still used to sympathizing with this Chinese actor.

Even the people who hate "villains" the most will not question his performance after his brilliant performance of the character of "Little Devil".

It's like in China, a blonde foreigner who speaks a broken Mandarin with a strange accent, and even if he doesn't speak it well, everyone will still praise him: "You speak Mandarin so well"

And Gu Xiaofan's praise for the "little devil" has also been covered with such a layer of color.

But when he announced that he was going to act in a superhero movie, it turned that impression completely upside down.

After the end of the Hollywood superstar era in the 90s, superhero blockbusters have slowly become the stage for American superstars, Tobey Maguire in "Spider-Man", Hugh Jackman in "X-Men", "Transformers" Shia LaBeouf, "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr......

Superhero movies are definitely the stage for America's top superstars and the most promising newcomers, and each important role shortlisted is carefully selected and selected from one out of ten thousand.

Actors who can play important roles in superhero movies have a long acting resume, and even if they play supporting roles, they are also a temporary choice.

This is also why at the beginning, News Corp. recruited Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi on the condition that they were two small characters in "X-Men", and Edward felt that they had enough weight.

Every actor knows that in the mainstream culture of superhero movies, as long as you can show your face, it means that you have a chance to become a world-class star.

"The Undertaker", which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, is of course a top-notch film, but this kind of literary film is only appreciated by audiences over 25 years old, and may be limited to those who are interested in oriental culture.

"Game of Thrones", which has a global audience of 33 million, is also very exciting, but this series is limited to those over 18 years old, and it cannot be broadcast in many countries, among which the violent and restrictive images have also become the main reason why female and elderly audiences are unacceptable.

Now let's take a look at the superhero movies that many veteran fans think are the most superficial movies, but these two works are different just now, and it is a real royal blockbuster that Hollywood has swept the world film market......

For the film market outside of Hollywood, superhero movies are veritable nuclear-weapon-level weapons, and every time they are shot, they will sweep everything in the summer file.

Regardless of your level of education, religious background, almost everyone will love this kind of royal movie, and the most deadly thing is that no other country in the world has the strength to imitate this genre......

Since the development of China's film industry, it has also swept the domestic market because of this kind of Hollywood royal movie.

Every summer, it is a forbidden area that the two major domestic business giants, Huayi and China Film, dare not touch...... I only dare to shrink into the "New Year's stalls......

It wasn't until Gu Xiaofan came out three years ago that he led the domestic film company to gather the strength of the whole country to attack the summer file, and swept the mainland summer file with a box office of one billion yuan through "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" a year ago, which can be regarded as completely destroying the hegemony of Hollywood royal films in the summer file.

At that time, no one thought that as the most successful filmmaker in China, 22-year-old Gu Xiaofan would actually act in a superhero movie himself?

Is this the tiger butt that touched all American filmmakers?

You were weak before, so we will still sympathize with you, but now you actually kick your nose in the face and act in a superhero movie as a Chinese? This is simply ridiculous

This time, European and American fans and media who had just supported Gu Xiaofan in "Game of Thrones" turned their guns around and began to criticize him for this decision.

Al Jefferson of the Chicago Sun, who used to be a die-hard fan of "Villain", has praised Gu Xiaofan's performance on his personal blog since "The Undertaker", and is one of the few American film critics who appreciate Gu Xiaofan, but this time he also seriously disliked Gu Xiaofan's decision.

When Gu Xiaofan's performance of "Game of Thrones" was not over, and everyone was waiting for the new series of "Game of Thrones", he announced a film plan, so amazing frequency and speed that people had to doubt his sincerity.

Everyone knows that with his infamous Oscar performance manifesto, he is also trying to make good on his promises.

But such a high-speed and high-yield work will make him enter the palace of golden sour plums?

I doubt he has enough time to think about it, and to be honest, I appreciate him and am optimistic about his future. But this time, I think that no matter what subject he shoots, he should stop and think about it for a few months before making a decision. ”

Al Jefferson's "mutiny" almost represents the mainstream opinion of Game of Thrones fans, who questioned Gu Xiaofan's purpose:

"Everyone knows that shooting superhero movies at the box office is sure to be not bad, and it is also the fastest way to become famous, but Gu Xiaofan just got a little result this time, and he wants to get such a level of role by leaps and bounds? If this can be done by using his position as a producer, he will need at least 4 or 5 films just by virtue of his resume. ”

The evaluation of the "Los Angeles Times", which has always been very rightist, is more direct, and the article directly accuses Gu Xiaofan of ruining the theme of DC Company in order to become famous for himself.

"A 22-year-old Chinese actor who wants to play an important role in a superhero movie, unless he plays the DC company's rotten comic book "Ten Heroes", he must at least be like Tobey Maguire of "Spider-Man" back then, after filming 2 series and 9 movies in Hollywood, he is qualified to talk about this issue."
