Chapter 896 Is it disgusting?
Both DC and Marvel have created a lot of Chinese superheroes. With the continuous expansion of the domestic market in recent years, especially "Wolf Warrior 2", which slashed 56 billion at the box office, Hollywood filmmakers feel that they still underestimated the Chinese market before.

I feel that it is necessary to "tailor-made" movies for China.

That's why Disney announced the filming of "Mulan".

DC also deliberately let Zheng Kai play the fourth-generation Atom Man Cai Ruian in "Justice League"-in the released version, Zheng Kai's scenes were all cut.

Director Zha even said that he could make an independent film of "The Atom" with Zheng Kai as the protagonist.

Today, Robert Iger said that Marvel wants to make a Chinese superhero, which is also reasonable.

After Cheng Yu'an asked, Robert Iger said: "We plan to shoot "Shang Qi."

Marvel not only has Shang Qi as a Chinese superhero, but it chose to make this one.

Before Robert Iger explained "Shang Qi" to the two, Cheng Yu'an rushed to say: "Robert, I advise you to change it."

"Why? "Shang Qi" is a very good story." Robert Iger tried to get away with it.

Cheng Yu'an didn't know about American comics before, but now he has a full understanding of American comics in order to study competitors and study the market.

"Robert, how do you plan to explain the role of Shang Qi's father to the Chinese audience?" Cheng Yu'an asked the most critical question.

This is the problem with "Shang Qi".

In the original time and space, the casting of "Shang Qi" was full of discrimination and stereotypes, and the insane remarks of the male and female protagonists made the audience very disappointed with this movie.

However, if Cheng Yu'an intervenes, he has the confidence and ability to change the role to his own.

However, the role of Shang Qi's father carries original sin, and whoever touches this role will die if the Chinese touch it.

Shang Qi’s father’s name is Zheng Zu, and his pseudonym is Fu Manzhou—the most typical representative of the Western “yellow peril theory”.

Robert Iger knew he couldn't fool Cheng Yu'an: "Cheng, this is just a movie, it's fake, we respect Chinese audiences."

"If you respect the Chinese audience, you should shoot another superhero. There are so many Chinese heroes in Marvel, why did you choose a character that would cause controversy. If you insist on filming, I can tell you responsibly that I will not follow Disney cooperates, and this Shangqi movie may not enter the Chinese market."

"Zheng Zu is just a supporting role, a villain, and we can change his name."

"But Chinese netizens and audiences will definitely pick it up, and you can't fool the audience." Cheng Yu'an explained the truth to Robert Iger very seriously.

If we can really make a Chinese superhero movie in good faith, that would be the best. If we can facilitate the shooting of such a movie, it will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of film exchanges between the two countries.

But it was obvious that Robert Iger did not listen to Cheng Yu'an's advice.

Since he will propose the project, it must have been discussed and even decided within Marvel to make "Shang Qi".

Tell Cheng Yu'an that he just hopes that he, a Chinese local snake, can be brought in to escort him.

Cheng Yu'an disagreed, and Disney didn't care at all.

Marvel will have no shortage of partners.

Cheng Yuan and Cheng Lingfeng left, and Cheng Lingfeng didn't know much about Shangqi, so Cheng Yuan told her about Shangqi's background.

As soon as Fu Manchu was mentioned, Cheng Lingfeng exploded. She has lived and worked abroad all the year round, and she knows the meaning of the word Fu Manchu to the Chinese.

"Damn, isn't this intentionally disgusting?" Cheng Lingfeng said, "We can't stop Marvel from doing it, but if anyone dares to take on the role of Zheng Zu, don't blame me for being rude."

There is not a big Chinese circle in Hollywood, and Cheng's aunt and nephew have a lot of weight in it.

But Cheng Yu'an said: "The pie of the Marvel superhero movie is too tempting, some people will desperately go for it."

Cheng Lingfeng naturally knows the attraction of Marvel: "He wants to go to the filming, I will block it after the filming, and I will count him as this if he can receive a film in the United States after he plays Zheng Zu." Thumbs up.

"Boss Cheng is very arrogant." Cheng Yu'an joked.

"It was originally." Cheng Lingfeng said, "In the American Chinese circle, except for the older generation who still have a little nostalgia, a little bit of family and national conditions, those ABCs who immigrated from childhood or were born in the United States, one counts as one. They are banana people, they can’t speak Mandarin anymore, and their way of thinking is not from the East. It’s useless to expect them to consciously resist Shangqi. You should watch it in China.”

"Don't worry, whoever dares to accept Shang Qi, I will definitely not spare him." Cheng Yu'an said.

The meal was terrible.

On the phone with Liu Yifei that night, Cheng Yuan told her about it, and Liu Yifei was furious: "Isn't this intentional?"

"It's just to disgust you on purpose." Cheng Yu'an said, "Knowing that the Chinese in other movies may take into account the influence, so I eagerly brought out the Marvel superhero movie. It is estimated that no Chinese actor in the world can refuse this piece of cake."

This is a big conspiracy.

You know I'm sick of you so what, you still rushed to act.

Don't overestimate the sentiment of the actors, as long as the drama is big enough, they will really rush forward regardless.

The next day, Cheng Yu'anhui formally signed an authorization contract with the relevant staff of Universal Theme Park.

License the image of "Despicable Me" and its derivative series of cartoons to Universal for use in its theme parks around the world for a period of 10 years.

At the reception after the signing ceremony, Cheng Yu'an, acting as an intermediary, introduced Liu Daoqiang to Tom Williams, chairman of Universal Theme Parks and Resorts Group.

But Tom said: "Cheng, I don't need your introduction. We have known each other for a long time."

Liu Daoqiang is the president of Huaqiang Fantawild.

You may not be familiar with Huaqiang Fantawild, but everyone knows Fantawild Happy World.

Yuanyuan does not have its own unique theme park, but chooses to cooperate with Fantawild.

There are very few large-scale theme parks in the world, and the circle is very small. It is not surprising that Tom Williams knows Liu Daoqiang.

"It's better to know each other better." Cheng Yu'an said with a smile, "Mr. Liu also wants to discuss cooperation with Universal when he comes this time."

What kind of cooperation can Fantawild discuss with Universal?
Still a theme park!

Fantawild made a good plan. Universal has already opened a resort in the capital. Fantawild wants to pull Universal to the south, preferably in Suicheng or Pengcheng, and then open a theme park.

He has already thought of the name, and it will be called Fantawild Universal Resort.

The cooperation between Long-distance, Fantawild and Universal will definitely be beneficial!

The reason why Cheng Yu'an was chosen as an intermediary was because Cheng Yu'an's words had weight, and Cheng Yu'an also had a share in distance. Cheng Yu'an should try his best to match Fangte and Universal.

But planning a theme park is not something that can be explained in a few words, and Tom Williams said that he will give special consideration to this matter.

The guests and hosts of the reception had a good time, and they will not be separated until the evening.
