Shang-Chi Marvel Simu Liu Marvel Studios
Shang-Chi is number ONE at the box-office for the THIRD week in a row! It's made over $300 MILLION worldwide. What a feat in this covid era for any movie, let alone an ASIAN-LED one!
I personally am feeling so inspired from watching Shang-Chi!! I don’t think I’ve ever understood what (Asian) representation feels like until I watched this movie. Being born in and raised in the US, as an Asian-American, I didn’t feel like I belonged. I spent a lot of my childhood living a double life – quiet and reserved at school, and felt much more at home in a Chinese school.
I've trained in Wushu since I was 7 but it wasn’t until I watched Mulan that I got the courage to show people who I really was. I never want my children to feel that way! I love how Shang-Chi the movie represented all of those groups, North American-born Chinese, overseas Chinese, and Asian immigrants as a whole. The characters were so relatable – from the nods to taking off our shoes, to getting scolded about getting married to our most filial friends, to getting scolded about our job choices – and it showed how there is actually someone like me in the writers’ room.
Cheers also for including Indian Americans as Asian-Americans because they are. The action scenes were phenomenal and you could tell the cast really poured their heart into training and preparing for performance. And finally, in the end credits, seeing the first Asian superhero actually stand beside Mr. Wong, Captain Marvel and Dr. Bruce Banner aka The Hulk, just made me realize that, oh man, this is real. This actually happened. Let’s keep these Asian-led blockbusters coming!!
尚氣與十環傳奇已經連續三週票房第一!全球票房收入超過 3 億美元。在新冠病毒的時間點還能有這樣的票房對任何電影來說都是一項壯舉,更不用說是以亞洲文化為主題電影了!
尚氣這部電影讓我受到了很多啟發!!在我看了這部電影之前,我感覺我從來都不知道(亞洲)被再現在大螢幕上的感覺。我在美國出生和長大,作為亞裔美國人,我時常找不到歸屬感。我的童年有很大部分時間都過著雙重生活——在學校安靜又拘謹,而到了中文學校才有家的感覺。我從 7 歲開始練習武術,但直到看到《花木蘭》,我才鼓起勇氣向其他人展現真正的自我。我不希望我的孩子在未來也有這樣的經歷!我喜歡這部電影《尚氣》的原因不只是因為好看,它也代表了所有以下這些群體,北美出生的華人、海外華人和整個亞洲移民。這些角色是如此的具有象徵意義,可以產生共鳴——從點頭到脫鞋、因為嫁給我們最孝順的朋友而被責罵、甚至是被質疑我們的工作選擇——這看得出編劇裡居然也有像我這樣的人,我也為電影將印度裔美國人納入亞裔美國人的一員感到開心。動作場面真的非常壯觀!你可以看出演員們真的全身心地投入到訓練和準備中。最後,可以看到第一個亞洲超級英雄站在王先生、驚奇隊長和布班納博士(綠巨人)旁邊,讓我意識到,天啊,這是真的嗎?我不是在做夢吧。我相信未來一定有更多亞洲文化主導題材的電影!!!
同時也有2部Youtube影片,追蹤數超過878的網紅時事英文 Podcast by ssyingwen,也在其Youtube影片中提到,首位 MCU 漫威電影宇宙亞裔超級英雄來了!《尚氣與十環傳奇》是第一部以亞裔演員為主的漫威電影,除了挑大樑的劉思慕,陣容包括梁朝偉、楊紫瓊等巨星。但《尚氣》至今未獲得中國上映許可,萬一因失去中國票房導致收入不如預期,漫威是否還會留下這個角色? 📝 講義 & 朗讀稿 (只要 $88 /月):h...

#葉郎每日讀報 #娛樂產業國際要聞揀3條
│原本預估票房數字保守的《尚氣》首週賣破1.2億美元,並成為今年北美開票第二高電影│
• 上個週末是向來電影票房比較難有表現的勞動節檔期,沒想到 Marvel 首部以亞洲人為主角的 PG-13 保護級電影《Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings 尚氣與十環傳奇》衝出了跌破眼鏡的佳績。該片北美首週票房賣破7140萬美元,成為2021年僅次於《Black Widow 黑寡婦》的8030萬的北美首週票房記錄。全球票房估計超過1.27億美元。因為是少之又少以亞洲人為主角的超級英雄電影,而且還是知名度相對低的漫畫,外界原本對該片的票房預期都相當保守,萬萬沒想到甚至賣得比重量級大片《F9 玩命關頭9》還要受到觀眾歡迎。
• 《尚氣與十環傳奇》還一口氣衝出了這些記錄:打破了美國勞動節連假過去由2007年版的《Halloween 惡靈07月光光心慌慌》的賣座記錄;以1320萬美元票房打破勞動節連假的 IMAX 票房紀錄;歷年的9月票房記錄之中,也只有前後兩集的《It 牠》賣超過《尚氣與十環傳奇》。當然勞動節原本是屬於擁擠的暑假檔結束之後整個業界喘口氣的時候,過去本來就很少有大片選在這個檔期上映,更別提一部製作成本超過1.5億美元的漫威電影。但此刻嗷嗷待哺的電影院業迫切需要這部賣座電影。一個禮拜前的 CinemaCon 之上,NATO 美國電影院經營者協會才公開催促會員極盡所能一定讓該片賣錢。
• •雖然該世界最大的電影市場——中國政府還沒有放行《尚氣與十環傳奇》,因此中國上映日期仍然還沒有訂出來,但外界普遍的評論是漫威非常小心翼翼地處理了漫畫中原本的刻板印象毛病,若有機會上映應該能獲得不錯成績。
• 《尚氣與十環傳奇》衝出好票房的其中一個原因是 Disney 選擇了45天空窗期的發行模式,因此沒有在第一時間前往電影院買票的觀眾很可能要45天後才有可能在家裡看到該片。稍早,另一部採用零空窗期的同步上架發行策略的漫威電影《黑寡婦》則引發女主角Scarlett Johansson 對簿公堂。下一步要上映的漫威電影《Eternals 永恆族》目前還沒有完全確定發行方式,雖然 Marvel Studios 的 Kevin Feige 曾暗示該片應該會上 Disney+。
• Comscore 的票房分析師 Paul Dergarabedian 說《尚氣與十環傳奇》的票房意義非凡,因為這是2019年7月的《Spider-Man: Far From Home 蜘蛛人:離家日》以來首部在電影院獨家發行的漫威電影。《尚氣與十環傳奇》等於驗證了漫威電影仍然可以驅動大量觀眾前往電影院。
• 早先 Disney 的執行長 Bob Chapek 曾把《尚氣與十環傳奇》的電影院獨家上映模式說成是一種「實驗」,引發該片男主角劉思慕跳出來反駁說該片從來不是一個,而是被低估的文化和娛樂產品。"We are the surprise. I’m fired the f**k up to make history on September 3rd; JOIN US." 劉思慕的發言一語成讖。
• Forbes 則利用這個時機提醒大家 Disney 2009年花40億美元買下 Marvel,如今預估整個 Marvel 價值530億,約佔整個 Disney 市值的16%。相比之下,同樣花40億買下來的 Lucasfilm 相形之下遜色許多。

----------------
10 MOST INFLUENTIAL ASIAN SUPERHEROES FROM MARVEL & DC
There are a lot of comic book fans out there, and many of them are Asian. Yet historically, superheroes of Asian descent have been a rare thing in the Marvel & DC universes.
With movies like Captain America Civil War, Batman vs Superman and Deadpool already having broken several box office records this year, superhero movies are only getting more popular.
And you know, you have the first female solo superhero film in quite some time coming out in 2017 with DC’s Wonder Woman, and the first black solo superhero film in some time coming out in 2018 with Marvel’s Black Panther. Makes me wonder when we’ll see the first Asian solo superhero film on the big screen.
But we’re a long ways off because first, we actually need a successful and popular Asian superhero in the comics, and thus far, it’s not clear if we even have one.
Well you be the judge.
1. Jubilee (Marvel)
- arguably the most well-known Asian superhero
- a Chinese-American girl born in LA
- X-Men’s youngest member in the early 1990s
2. Shang Chi (Marvel)
- created in the 1970s, a period in time where people were crazy for Bruce Lee and anything Kung Fu related
- the premiere Asian character of the 70s
- born in China
- son & nemesis of the infamous, wealthy international Chinese crime lord Fu Manchu.
- has no superpowers, but is an expert in all forms of martial arts
- unfortunately as stereotypically Asian as you can get
3. Sunfire (Marvel)
- Japan’s premiere superhero
- just like Shang Chi, an Asian character of overt Asian symbolisms.
- real name, Shiro Yoshida
- born to a mother who suffered radiation poisoning (Hiroshima atomic bomb)
- became a mutant possessing solar radiation powers
4. Atom (DC)
- real name, Ryan Choi
- super smart & gets good grades
- can be quite the ladies’ man
- from Hong Kong
- protege of original Atom, Ray Palmer
- the Atom is a super hero who can shrink to a subatomic size (like Ant-Man)
- pretty noteworthy because first time an Asian guy took over the mantle of an existing superhero with an already established fan base
- too bad he only appeared in 78 issues before being killed off by the assassin, Deathstroke
- his death became the subject of racial controversy as he had been one of the few high profile Asian characters in the DC Universe
5. Batgirl (DC)
- real name, Cassandra Cain
- she’s a halfie, with a white dad and a Chinese mom
- adopted by Bruce Wayne, aka Batman.
- under Batman’s watch, she became Batgirl
- some refer to her as the Asian Batgirl
6. Psylocke (Marvel)
- real name is Elizabeth “Betsy” Braddock, originally a blonde haired girl from Essex, Great Britain
- a mutant with vast telepathic and telekinetic powers and a long time X-Man.
- had her soul transferred into the body of a Japanese female ninja
- in X-Men: Apocalypse movie she is played by Olivia Munn (Is this another example of whitewashing in Hollywood?)
7. Ms. Marvel (Marvel)
- real name, Kamala Khan, the second Ms. Marvel who made her debut in 2013
- a Pakistani Muslim teenage girl living in New Jersey from a very traditional Pakistani family.
- is an inhuman (a race of superhumans)
- her power makes her able to stretch her body in unimaginable ways
8. Silk (Marvel)
- real name Cindy Moon, a Korean American girl.
- Spiderman was bitten by a radioactive spider but what we didn’t know was, so did another student
9. Hulk (Marvel)
- in 2015 we were introduced to a Korean Hulk.
- real name, Amadeus Cho, a Korean American
- this new Hulk fights gamma monsters while traveling cross country with his sister Maddy
10. Superman
- DC one upped Marvel by making one of, if not, the most iconic superhero of all time Asian.
- Superman is now Chinese!
- a 17 year old kid from Shanghai named Kenan Kong
- you can imagine the outrage this has caused as ‘superman is supposed to be white’ and American
