In a press room at Paramount, there were all kinds of reporters, reporters from various Los Angeles media gathered together, and the scene looked orderly, and the reporters were all sitting in their places, talking to each other, waiting for the appearance of the protagonist today

Brush, brush, brush! The flashing lights flashed desperately, and Bradbird had already developed a strong immunity to the extremely harsh lights in front of him due to years of adaptation. Pulling Shen Lian to open his eyes as usual, smiling at the many reporters in the audience.

"After careful selection and audition work by the company and the director team. We decided to replace Mr. Tom Cruise with Gilbert in "Mission Impossible 4". ”

Bradbod dropped a bombshell, and the reporters were a little stunned.

There were no rumors from all parties before, and it would be said that Shen Lian would directly replace Tom Tom and serve as the male lead in "Mission Impossible 4".

Even if Shen Lian appeared in Paramount Building a few days ago, everyone thought that he was either cooperating with other projects, or he was a supporting character in "Mission Impossible".

A very classic role is lightly handed over to a yellow-skinned Asian, not to mention the reaction of the masses, even the battle-hardened reporters can't accept it.

"Mr. Bird!" "Mr. Shen Lian!" Many reporters scrambled to raise their hands, hoping to get a chance to ask questions.

"This reporter friend from ESPN, you get the first chance to ask a question." Bird motioned for the reporter sitting in the back row to stand up and ask questions.

"I don't know much about what Mr. Shen Lian has achieved in China, but in the United States, in Hollywood, is he still a newcomer? How can He De get a replacement for Mr. Tom Cruise in the role of Ethan Hunt? The ESPN reporter asked very directly, directly criticizing the way Shen Lian obtained the role.

"What kind of achievements I have achieved in China, I think you can check the information, most of the movies I starred in, also have English versions, you can watch them. If I were you, at least I'd be judging someone I didn't know well after watching some movies. "You can't be modest and polite with the Americans, you're so modest, but Paramount doesn't have confidence on your side. The contract has been signed, and Shen Lian is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.

"I want to ask the director, is there a financial problem with choosing such a rookie actor?" A reporter raised his hand, then stood up politely, smiled when he had finished, and sat down.

His implication is obvious, if it weren't for the financial problems, even if Brother Tom was absent for some reason, he should choose some movie stars who have been famous for a long time and have box office appeal, although Shen Lian looks good, but he is indeed a newcomer, and the salary is relatively low.

Gilbert has already completed two works in Hollywood, and has another in addition to the critically acclaimed District 9. As far as I know, the directors who have worked with him have a high opinion of him. He's a very professional actor and I'm sure he'll be able to handle the role well. Bird also praised Shen Liandao.

The more this time, the more Bird and Shen Lian must be in the same breath.

The slightest hint of lack of self-confidence will crush them under the pressure of public opinion.

Throughout the press conference, Bird and Shen Lian's tone was very tough, we are confident that we will make a movie that satisfies everyone, the matching degree of the characters has nothing to do with skin color, Gilbert is the most suitable person after careful selection!

After the press conference, the news media also spread the news to every corner of the world in various ways.

“WCTMD？ The yellow-skinned monkey plays the shrimp man or something, can I bear it, play Ethan Hunt? Where did he get his confidence? ”

"Shrimp man, I love you, but CNM."

"There's no way to accept a skinny Ethan Hunter like this, but regardless of the quality of the movie, please trouble Shrimp Man to gain weight first. I'm afraid that when I meet an opponent in the movie, I can directly break your waist. ”

"Although "Mission Impossible 3" has a poor box office reputation, it is hard to imagine that Paramount will replace Tom. Even if he had an accident. If conditions permit, it is completely possible to postpone the filming work. I can't really imagine someone else taking his place. ”

Judging from the reactions of North American audiences on major forums and Facebook, the people who support Shen Lian to star in "Mission Impossible 4" account for about 9%, of which Chinese account for a certain number. and said that they didn't care about this matter, saying that if the film was good enough and had a good reputation, they would still go to the cinema to support the series, and 16% resolutely resisted Shen Lian's role in Ethan Hunt, and made it clear that they would not go to the cinema to watch this movie!!

It is shocking that almost all of the United States is in opposition to Ramon's decision. Even many people used racist language on the Internet to greet Shen Lian non-stop.

"Mission: Impossible 4...... I support Shen Lian to star in a large-scale Zuò agent movie, he definitely has this ability. But...... Wouldn't it be a bad fit, I'd rather develop a new Agent series. ”

"Someone's really overwhelmed, haha. This offended fans all over the United States. ”

"To tell you the truth, I think Shen Lian's gamble this time is still a bit big. Isn't it good to go step by step in Hollywood? Directly challenge the classic characters, and if you are not careful, you will ......"

"All I can say is, good luck, Shen Lian."

Chinese fans on the whole are also pessimistic about whether Shen Lian can control "Mission Impossible 4".

The reason is very simple, at least in China, when the image of a character has become a classic, no matter how hard the descendants try, the evaluation rarely surpasses that of the previous work, even if your performance is very good.

A few simple examples, Shen Lian's nemesis Huang Xiaoming has remade many classic TV series. "The Legend of Deer and Ding", "The Condor Heroes", "Shanghai Tang". "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" is rotten into a dog, so naturally there is no need to talk about it, but although Yang Guo of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is not as good as Gu Tianle, he is absolutely qualified, and Xu Wenqiang of "Shanghai Tang" is even more in his true colors, it just so happens that he himself also prefers this kind of convenient and handsome role, this role is quite suitable for him, and he also plays very well, but the evaluation on the Internet is still not high.

Let's talk about Zhang Jizhong's version of "Dragon Babu", in all aspects, this version of "Dragon Babu" is closer to the original than Huang Rihua's version of "Dragon Babu" that TVB started filming in the early days, especially the role of Qiao Feng, in the opinion of Shen Lian, who has read the novel, Hu Jun's interpretation is more appropriate, but the best evaluation on the Internet is "Hu Jun is playing Qiao Feng, and Huang Rihua is Qiao Feng." ”

This kind of psychology is called feelings. I always feel that what I see for the first time is the best. No matter how hard the latecomers try, it is difficult to surpass the version that created the classic!

This is also the reason why fans question Shen Lian's decision.
