Chapter 1143 Political Correctness Has No Control over Me (2)

After receiving the award, finishing filming the program, and going home to rest, it was originally a happy thing.

However, when I was reading the news, I saw that I was being scolded.

But it was not the Chinese who scolded her, but a group of foreigners.

"Luo Quan was scolded abroad and trended on Twitter."

What happens on Twitter and trending searches on Weibo are all there.

Luo Quan went in with a puzzled look on his face and looked at the sequence of events.

It turns out that the cause of all this stems from a movie.

In the past two days, the new version of "The Little Mermaid" produced by Disney was released.

The remake of this classic actually started to be warmed up last year, and it caused a lot of controversy at the time.

The content of the controversy is mainly the casting of the heroine.

In most people's minds, mermaids are a beautiful humanoid race.

The upper body is a beautiful girl, and the lower body is a fish. After landing, the fish tail will turn into legs, but it will become unable to speak.

This is one of Andersen's classic fairy tales, a poignant and dreamy story.

But after Disney announced its choice for the heroine, the fairy tale turned into a horror story.

Because she plays the Little Mermaid, a black and ugly black actress.

In fact, there are many beauties among black people, and some of them are so good-looking that they can be ranked among the best in the world.

In Hollywood, there are many black beauties, and there is absolutely no shortage of black mermaids.

But Disney's victory was that in Hollywood, where there are so many beauties, they chose such an ugly girl to play the role of a mermaid.

When the role was originally decided, the entire network was already trolling the heroine because of the casting.

After that, every time news about the movie appeared, I would be scolded for this incident.

And Disney seems to think it has found the answer to its version, and no matter how much criticism it gets, it will not change it.

Political correctness is prevalent in the West, and there are not a few Oscar winners with black protagonists.

What Disney may be thinking is, since everyone agrees so, isn’t it possible to rely on political correctness to sell box office?

Black Panther did just that, and it was a huge success.

Therefore, Disney plans to do it again and use "The Little Mermaid" to make another round of money.

But this time, no audience paid for such a bad movie.

Although Black Panther is also politically correct, at least the casting is normal, the male protagonist is handsome and the female protagonist is beautiful, and the plot is considered acceptable.

The Little Mermaid is a big bad movie that is very bad except for the special effects.

Of course, the most outstanding one here is the heroine named Hailey.

Being ugly is not her fault, but if she chooses to become a star, she will inevitably be criticized by netizens.

And when she was called ugly by netizens, she chose to confront them and raised the banner of political correctness. Others called her racial discrimination, and she called others a righteous counterattack.

This operation also allowed her to successfully lose her last bit of popularity.

Despite so many debuffs, "The Little Mermaid" was finally released as scheduled.

Five days after its release, the North American box office exceeded 100 million. The ratings from various media are quite high, all above 8.5. It seems to be pretty good.

However, "The Little Mermaid" was a flop at the box office outside North America.

In China, the box office in the two days after the release was over 3 million. It was probably provided by the top owners of the film and television area and a bunch of people who were really bored and didn't know what movies to watch, so they randomly picked one.

Five days after its release, the box office finally exceeded 10 million, and the final box office estimate was probably around 40 million.

This kind of movie belongs to the level of literary and artistic films in China.

That's the kind of film that others make just to win awards and don't care about the box office.

But the configuration of "The Little Mermaid" is a standard commercial blockbuster. From the director to the screenwriter to the crew, they are all famous figures.

Including post-production, advertising and marketing, the total investment reached 250 million.

If a movie wants to make money back, the box office must be at least three times the cost, which is 750 million.

The current total box office of "The Little Mermaid" is less than 200 million US dollars, and it has passed its peak weekend and has begun to decline.

Along with the decline, the audience reputation and movie ratings on major platforms have also declined.

On the day the movie was first released, it received high ratings on various platforms, but not much from the audience.

What does this mean?

It shows that Disney is brushing up the ratings and also locking the comment area.

It is just to create the illusion that the movie is good and trick the audience into going to the cinema and making them feel bad.

However, the comment section and ratings are not necessarily locked for life. With the release of real data, the rating of "The Little Mermaid" has dropped to the passing level.

As for the comments from netizens, they were even more scolding.

From scolding the director to the plot, from scolding the extras to the feature film.

Of course, the heroine was the one who was scolded the most, and the criticism was very consistent, that is, she was ugly.

However, white leftists and black people abroad are also very unconvinced. They wonder why they are scolding people like this. Is it racial discrimination?

Then the two sides started to face off.

Soon, people who scolded the heroine found Luo Quan as an example, saying that she is suitable to be a heroine. Even if they can't find Luo Quan, they can still settle for the next best thing, like Carillian or Christine. .

And those who supported the heroine began to spray them with racial discrimination.

What happened to Luo Quan? Are white people more noble and prettier than black people?

In our eyes, Luo Quan is not beautiful at all, and his face is quite ugly.

Because it is because of people like her that the beauty and ugliness in the world are defined and people have standards for attacking and belittling each other.

Therefore, Luo Quan is actually the real ugliness, while Haili is the true, kind and beautiful.

Such remarks were liked and forwarded by Hailey herself.

Now on the Internet, many white leftists and black people are using this statement to attack Luo Quan.

He scolded her for being ugly, believed that she did not represent mainstream aesthetics, and demanded that she be disqualified from participating in the next World's Most Beautiful competition.

What's more, she will be deprived of those championships she won before.

This kind of anti-intellectual speech is unexpectedly very popular abroad, and has even been featured in popular searches.

However, Luo Quan looked at the number of discussions and found that although it was enough to be on the hot search list, it would be too exaggerated to rank first on the hot search list.

Considering that Twitter is the territory of Tesla’s boss, and he is the second shareholder of his biggest competitor, there may be factors contributing to the situation.

Fortunately, judging from the stock price of Nikola Motors, the market has not experienced any turbulence because it has become ugly in the "popular aesthetic".

It doesn't matter if a company's shareholders turn ugly, as long as the cars it sells aren't ugly.

Luo Quan became the ugliest person in the world overnight, which also refreshed netizens' understanding of human diversity.

To her, this was a complete disaster.

Sitting at home, others use her to attack others, and then the people being attacked start to attack her.

Luo Quan opened his Twitter account, which he had not logged in for a while, and first posted a bunch of ellipses to express that he was speechless.

Then he wrote in reply:

“The mission of a movie is to satisfy the audience’s fantasy, so no matter whether the characters are beautiful or ugly, as long as it satisfies the audience’s fantasy, it is a good movie.

That's why there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, because everyone's fantasies are different, and their definitions of beauty and ugliness are also different.

I'm glad that everyone can deny authority and deny the definition that the public has imposed on me.

I also sincerely hope that those who deny me can one day become like Hailey, with the same truth, goodness and beauty as hers.

"The Little Mermaid" is an excellent movie. If there is a second movie, I hope the director can create a clownfish character. I will definitely be interested in starring in it. "

If Yin Yang Qi had levels, Luo Quan would at least be at the master level.

However, there are many people who can see that she is acting strangely. These remarks quickly aroused attacks from many foreign netizens.

"Why do you curse us so viciously?"

"Why are you attacking everyone?"

"Don't you think your words are too harsh?"

………………

Luo Quan just wished those who supported Haili to become as beautiful as her. How could this be a curse or an attack?

She was very puzzled and asked: "Isn't Hailey the embodiment of beauty that you think of? Isn't it a good thing for you to become like her?"

Such a rhetorical question directly silenced these people.

Regardless of whether the answer is yes or no, it seems very uncomfortable.

After a brief silence, these people finally stopped pretending and directly attacked Luo Quan personally, calling her ugly.

Luo Quan posted a few smiling faces and replied: "You call me ugly, but I will just laugh because I know it's all fake.

And some people get angry when they are called ugly because they know that what everyone said is true. "

If Haili didn't like and criticize her tweets, Luo Quan would never attack her at this time.

But since you picked the first thing, don't blame her for being ruthless.

This reply once again broke the guard of a large number of people, because they found that calling Luo Quan ugly was useless.

Everyone knows whether a person with this kind of appearance is ugly or not. Luo Quan, fans and passers-by are probably looking at them like a circus clown.

This also allowed Hailey's supporters to finally use their trump card, which was political correctness.

They began to accuse Luoquan of racial discrimination and insulting the black community.

And Luo Quan’s answer is a killer one:

“I am a Chinese, and there is no such thing as racial discrimination in Chinese people’s perception, because we are all descendants of the Yan and Huang people.

And racial discrimination appeared abroad and was promoted by you.

Why would you use something that only exists in the West to accuse an Easterner whose living environment does not exist at all?

Or are you good at racial discrimination yourself, so you found similar characteristics in me and then drew conclusions based on your rich experience? "

After Fang Luoquan finished his well-founded rebuttal, the comment section instantly went silent.

If you go crazy again at this time, it will be equivalent to admitting your racial discrimination.

Chinese people will have no problem saying this, but if Westerners dare to admit their racial discrimination, it will not be as simple as social death. They may actually die.

In fact, China is not without racial discrimination, but how can these foreigners know so clearly? They only need to take advantage of the information gap to easily fool these life forms with incomplete brain development.

It is worth mentioning that, obviously, she had just finished online online, and domestic netizens posted the content of her online online on Weibo.

Then, she was gloriously on the hot search list again because of this incident.

"It's amazing, Luo Bao, he can silence these people."

"She is worthy of being the number one female war goddess on Weibo. She looks like she was the one who fought with the heroes back then."

"Bai Zuo's logic is so stupid. He is generous to others and imposes his own preferences on others. No wonder he is becoming more and more annoying."

"I've told you the star of The Little Mermaid ten thousand times and it's still ugly. Anyone who can go to the cinema to watch this movie must have a masochistic constitution."

"Haha, don't say that. Many of them go to see it just to make videos."

"This can be considered a work-related injury."

"I suggest Luo Quan make a fairy tale-themed movie to let these people see what a princess is."

"How about Snow White?"

"Forgot? Snow White is also played by a black man, and her looks are not much better than this mermaid's."

"Disney is really hopeless."

………………

Although I don’t know why Disney suddenly went crazy and boldly chose a black person to play the heroine of the fairy tale.

However, Luo Quan really hopes that Disney can increase its efforts, so that if one movie is produced at a loss, the market will lack a strong competitor.

After all, her dream is to build an Eastern Disney based on Bilibili.

Although the road ahead is bumpy, if she can see that the biggest obstacles are driving her to death, then she is still very happy to accept their legacy.

If nothing else, Disney has a lot of copyrights, including many classic IPs.

But in recent years, it seems that these IPs have not been well used, and they have been used to do politically correct things.

Speaking of IP, Luo Quan suddenly discovered that domestic Internet articles were a huge treasure trove to be tapped.

Movies, TV series, animations, games, there are so many themes that can be used for online writing.

These works, which naturally have a large number of fans, can easily attract audiences as long as they are adapted properly.

After all, Internet articles are not like serious literature, which requires careful reading to gain happiness.

Internet literature is like fast food literature. The faster you read it, the quicker you get the pleasure.

And there is almost no threshold, and the audience is very broad.

The result of this is that many people watch it and fans are very popular.

It is worth mentioning that at present, there seems to be very few online novels adapted into animation in China.

On the one hand, it is due to technical limitations, and on the other hand, capital is not sure whether those long online articles can be welcomed by the market.

TV series adapted from online novels are an example. Many of them have been filmed in the past few years, but the proportion of them being rejected has reached 99%.

The most popular 3D animation at present is Qin Shi Mingyue.

The original work is not an online novel, and it is getting scolded more and more now.

But Luo Quan feels that this is an industry with great potential.

Considering that the partnership with Penguin is so deep, maybe a few can be made into 3D animation?
