Beijing-born Chinese director Zhao Ting has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture and Director for her film “Nomadic Life“, which has made the Chinese public “honored”. “The film has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture and Director.
Suddenly the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. When Chinese public opinion labeled Zhao Ting as “Chinese”, she was rebuffed with “I belong to the United States”; secondly, Zhao Ting was interviewed and accused her Home country, where she was born, of being “full of lies” and living in Beijing. When she lived in Beijing, she never heard a few words of truth. The mainland netizens were outraged by this statement.
The Chinese government has been forgetting its ancestors and making traitorous statements. The Beijing authorities stopped all movie propaganda on mainland poster sites and blocked them immediately.
Is director Zhao crazy? No, the word “market” is the problem.
The United States-led Western disdain for China, not only the black white street courage against Asian action has increased, even the left-wing dominated the university, many yellow faces feel, suddenly widespread indifference and alienation by teachers and friends. Recently there is a Hong Kong to a famous university in the United Kingdom to study cultural studies female – cultural studies, you say this subject left or not – two years to study smoothly, with excellent results, this year to submit the thesis homework, suddenly by the professor tutor all sorts of difficulties, not allowed to pass. As a scholar of cultural studies, she believes, with her keen cultural sense, that the white left of the college no longer maintains the make-up of great love and tolerance, and that this change of attitude is related to the racist motive of Chinese exclusion caused by the virus coming from a certain country, which is known to everyone in the civil society, but the official nomination is not allowed.
Zhao Ting’s film emerged at this Time: a thematic story about the nomadic poor of the lower class in America, with a socialist consciousness first, in line with the political correctness of exposing the truth about global poverty like “The Family of Thieves” and “Roma”. The director is a woman and meets feminist standards. But the “Chinese” identity, if high-profile publicity in the West, will certainly affect the box office at this time.
China also has a market of 1.4 billion people, but young Chinese audiences like to see “Tang Dynasty 3”, “Na Tcha the Magician”, “The Avengers” and other sensory stimulation super luxury technology Entertainment big production, the club billions of box office, do not like to see bad shirt poor humanities Jia Zhangke. Although Zhao’s American film also exposes the miserable conditions of the poor in the United States, for Chinese people pulling home with small Dreams to immigrate to the United States has a certain deterrent effect, only the film business investors, the abacus, this film released in the mainland, hello, Zhao Ting, and then moved but “Hello, Li Huanying”, the box office of up to 20 million. However, the global box office is labeled as “Chinese”, and it is difficult to estimate the impact on revenue.
Zhao Ting’s films are mainly for the international market and do not rely on “domestic demand” because she is not the “Mulan” Liu Yifei. Hong Kong politician and former NPC deputy Fei Tian Zhu said: “Patriotism is a business. Similarly, the Chinese are not Chinese, for a film, sometimes plus points, sometimes affect the profits, a hundred copies of the hundred is a plate of business.
No matter how many Nomad, Money is the only Normality across racial boundaries.
