Chapter 1144: Political Correctness Can't Control Me (Part 2)

Receiving the award, finishing the program, and going home to rest was originally a happy thing.

However, when brushing the news, I saw that I was scolded.

But it wasn't the Chinese who scolded her, but a group of foreigners.

"Luo Quan was scolded on the Twitter hot search abroad."

Things that happened on Twitter, Weibo hot search appeared.

Luo Quan clicked in with a puzzled face and watched the ins and outs.

It turned out that the cause of all this stemmed from a movie.

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

This classic remake actually started warming up last year, and it caused a very big controversy at that time.

And the content of the controversy was mainly the casting of the heroine.

In most people's impression, the mermaid is a very beautiful humanoid race.

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

This is one of the classic works in Andersen's fairy tales, a sad, dreamy story.

But after Disney announced the candidate for the heroine, the fairy tale became a horror story.

Because playing the little mermaid is a black actress who is black and ugly.

In fact, there are many beauties among black people, and some of them have high appearance, which can also rank in the forefront of the world.

And in Hollywood, there are not a few black beauties, and there is absolutely no situation where a black mermaid cannot be selected.

But Disney just won Hollywood, which is full of beauties, and chose such an ugly woman to play the mermaid.

When the role was decided, the whole network had already sprayed the heroine because of the casting.

Since then, every time news of the movie appeared, it would be scolded once because of this matter.

And Disney seemed to think that it had found the version answer, no matter how much scolding, it resolutely did not change.

Western political correctness is prevalent, and there are not a few black people who have won Oscars as protagonists.

Disney might think that since everyone recognizes it so much, is it impossible to sell box office by relying on political correctness?

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

So Disney planned to repeat the old trick and circle another wave of money with "The Little Mermaid."

But this time, no audience would pay for such a lousy movie again.

Although Black Panther is also politically correct, at least the casting is normal, the hero is handsome and the heroine is beautiful, and the plot is barely passing.

And The Little Mermaid belongs to a big lousy movie where everything else is very lousy except for special effects.

Of course, the most prominent one is the heroine named Halle.

Being ugly is not her ugliness, but choosing to become a star, it is inevitable to be evaluated by netizens.

And when she was scolded as ugly by netizens, she chose to fight against netizens and raised political correctness as a banner. Others scolded her as racial discrimination, and she scolded others as a righteous counterattack.

This operation also allowed her to successfully lose the last bit of passerby edge.

It was with so many debuffs that "The Little Mermaid" was finally released as scheduled.

Released for five days, the North American box office exceeded 100 million, and the various media ratings were quite high, all above 8.5, which seemed quite good.

However, the box office of "The Little Mermaid" in regions outside North America can be described as lousy among lousy.

In China, the box office for two days of release was barely over 3 million. It is estimated that they were all provided by film and television area up-hosts and a bunch of people who were idle and didn't know what movie to watch, so they chose one at random.

After five days of release, the total box office finally exceeded 10 million, and the final box office estimate is about 40 million.

Such a movie belongs to the level of literary and artistic films in China.

That is, others filmed it purely to win awards, not caring about the box office at all.

But the configuration of "The Little Mermaid" is a standard commercial blockbuster, from directors to screenwriters to crew members, all of whom are famous figures.

Plus post-production, marketing, the total investment reached 250 million.

And if the movie wants to break even, the box office must be at least three times the cost, which is 750 million.

Currently, the total box office of "The Little Mermaid" is less than 200 million US dollars, and it has passed the weekend with the highest traffic, and has begun to decline.

And along with the decline, there are the audience reputation and movie ratings on major platforms.

On the day the movie was released, the ratings on major platforms were very high, but there were not many audience evaluations.

What does this mean?

It shows that Disney brushed the ratings and also locked the comment area.

It is to create an illusion that the movie is very good, and deceive the audience to go to the cinema to be a big injustice.

But the comment area and ratings cannot be locked for a lifetime. With the release of real data, the rating of "The Little Mermaid" has fallen to a passing level.

As for the comments of netizens, it is even more scolding.

From director to plot, from tidbits to main film.

Of course, the most scolded is of course the heroine, and the caliber is unified, that is, ugly.

However, the white left and black people abroad are also very unconvinced, thinking why scold people like this, is it racial discrimination?

Then the two sides started to fight.

Soon, those who scolded the heroine found Luo Quan as an example, saying that she is the one suitable to be the heroine. Even if you can't find Luo Quan, you can settle for the next best thing, like Kali Lian, Kristen, etc.

And those who support the heroine began to spray them for racial discrimination.

What happened to Luo Quan? Are white people more noble than black people, and must they be more beautiful than black people?

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

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

Therefore, Luo Quan is actually the truly ugly one, while Halle is truth, goodness and beauty.

Such remarks were liked and forwarded by Halle herself.

Now on the foreign internet, many white left and black people use this statement to attack Luo Quan.

Scolding her for being ugly, thinking that she cannot represent mainstream aesthetics, and demanding to cancel her qualification for the next world's most beautiful competition.

Even more, they want to deprive her of the championships she won before.

This kind of anti-intellectual speech actually has a market abroad unexpectedly, and even went to the recommended hot search.

However, Luo Quan looked at the number of discussions. Although it was enough to be on the hot search, it was too exaggerated to be the first on the hot search.

Considering that Twitter is the territory of Tesla's boss, and she is the second largest shareholder of his biggest competitor, there may be factors of the horse rich man pushing the waves.

Fortunately, judging from the stock price of Nikola Motors, the market did not have any turmoil because she "became ugly" in public aesthetics.

It doesn't matter if a company shareholder becomes ugly, as long as the cars sold are not ugly.

And Luo Quan becoming the ugliest in the world overnight also refreshed netizens' cognition of human diversity.

For her, this is completely a disaster.

Sitting at home properly, others took her to attack others, and then the attacked people began to attack her.

Luo Quan opened the Twitter account that hadn't been logged in for a while, first posted a bunch of ellipses, indicating that she was a bit speechless.

Then posted a reply:

"The mission of a movie is to satisfy the audience's fantasy, so no matter whether the role is beautiful or ugly, as long as it satisfies the audience's fantasy, this is a good movie.

That's why there will be a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, because everyone's fantasy is different, and the definition of beauty and ugliness is of course different.

I am very happy that everyone can deny authority and deny the definition imposed on me by the public.

I also sincerely hope that those who deny me can one day become the same as Halle, possessing the same truth, goodness and beauty as her.

"The Little Mermaid" is an excellent movie. If there is a 2, I hope the director can create a clownfish role, I will definitely be very interested in playing it."

If yin and yang are graded, Luo Quan is at least a master level.

However, there are not a few people who can see her yin and yang. This statement quickly caused attacks from many foreign netizens.

"Why are you cursing us so viciously?"

"Why are you attacking everyone?"

"Don't you think the words are too sharp and mean?"

Luo Quan just wished those who support Halle to become as beautiful as her. How is this a curse, an attack?

She was very puzzled and asked back: "Isn't Halle the incarnation of beauty you identified? Isn't it a good thing to let you become the same as her?"

Such a question directly asked these people to silence.

Whether the answer is yes or no, it seems very uncomfortable.

After a short silence, these people finally started not to pretend, directly attacked Luo Quan personally, and scolded her for being ugly.

And Luo Quan posted a few smiles and replied: "You scold me for being ugly, I will only laugh, because I know these are fake.

And some people are scolded for being ugly, but they are anxious, because she knows that what everyone says is the truth."

If this Halle didn't like the tweets scolding her, Luo Quan would never attack her at this time.

But since you picked the thing first, don't blame her for not leaving any room for her mouth.

This reply broke a large group of people again, because they found that scolding Luo Quan for being ugly was useless.

Everyone knows whether this kind of appearance is ugly or not. Luo Quan and fans, passersby, are probably looking at them like watching a circus clown at this moment.

This also made Halle's supporters finally sacrifice the trump card, that is, political correctness.

They began to accuse Luo Quan of racial discrimination and insulting the black group.

And Luo Quan's answer can be called a kill:

"I am a Chinese. In the cognition of Chinese people, there is no such thing as racial discrimination, because we are all descendants of Yan and Huang.

And racial discrimination appeared abroad and was carried forward by you.

Why do you want to use things that only exist in the West to accuse an Easterner who doesn't have such things in his living environment at all?

Or are you very good at racial discrimination yourself, so you found similar characteristics on me, and then reached a conclusion with rich experience?"

The rooster sings and the world is white. After Luo Quan refuted with reason and evidence, the comment area instantly calmed down.

If you come out to make trouble at this time, it is equivalent to admitting that you are racially discriminatory.

There is no problem for Chinese people to say this, but if Westerners dare to admit that they are racially discriminatory, it is not as simple as social death, it may really die.

In fact, China is not without racial discrimination, but how can these foreigners know so clearly? They only need to use information asymmetry to easily fool these life forms with underdeveloped brains.

It is worth mentioning that although she just finished the foreign battle, domestic netizens posted the content of her battle on Weibo.

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

"Awesome Luo Bao, can scold this bunch of people to silence."

"It is worthy of being the number one female war god on Weibo, quite like the appearance of tongue-fighting heroes back then."

"The logic of the white left is so stupid. They are generous with others' generosity and impose their own preferences on others. No wonder they are becoming more and more annoying."

"Saying it ten thousand times, the leading actor of The Little Mermaid is still ugly. Those who can go to the cinema to watch this movie are more or less stained with masochistic constitution."

"Haha, don't say that, many are for making videos."

"This can be counted as work injury."

"It is recommended that Luo Quan film a movie with fairy tales as the theme, so that these people can see what a princess is."

"How about Bai Xue?"

"Forgot? Bai Xue also has black people playing, and the appearance is not much better than this mermaid."

"Disney is really hopeless."

Although I don't know why Disney suddenly went crazy and boldly adopted black people to play fairy tale heroines.

However, Luo Quan very much hopes that Disney can increase its efforts, so that one movie will be lost, and there will be one less strong competitor in the market.

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

Although the road ahead is bumpy, if she can see the biggest obstacle make itself die, she is very willing to accept their legacy.

Not to mention anything else, Disney has a lot of copyrights, including many classic IPs.

But these years, it seems that they haven't used these IPs well, and they have made some politically correct lousy work.

Speaking of IP, Luo Quan suddenly discovered that domestic web literature is a huge treasure house waiting to be excavated.

Movies, TV series, anime, games, there are too many subjects that can be developed by web literature.

These works that naturally have a large number of fans, as long as they are adapted properly, it is easy to attract the audience.

After all, web literature is not like serious literature, which needs careful taste to get happiness.

Web literature is fast food literature, seeing fast, and the time to get pleasure also comes fast.

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

The result of this is that many people watch it, and fans are also very sought after.

It is worth mentioning that at present, it seems that there has not been much adaptation of web literature into anime in China.

On the one hand, it is limited by technology, and on the other hand, capital is not sure whether those long web literature can be welcomed by the market.

TV series adapted from web literature are examples. Many have been filmed in recent years, but the proportion of lousy movies has reached 99%.

The hottest 3D anime at present is "Qin's Moon."

The original work is not web literature, and now it is being scolded more and more as it is filmed.

But Luo Quan feels that this is an industry with a lot of work to do.

Considering the deep cooperation with Penguin, maybe you can get a few books to film into 3D anime? ===== CHAPTER 1145 =====
