Directshoot is right. China is closing up.

I have stick to posting China propaganda media in his forum

China new culture revolution just happened.

Sorry in Chinese, but basically calling the return to red and blood.

So what is happening is China is removing all the "self made" billionaires, movie star, celebrity culture. Yao Ming would have been removed due to his popularity then if he is still around now.

Marvel provide Tony Leung the biggest stage in the world to show off his talent, kinda like America Got Talents. Wenwu dies like a hero. He reminds me the character in Winter Soldier--An Indian scientist/commander caught/killed by the Falcon. The actor is a Honduran actually. I don't know how to compare their acting skills. If there's shang chi 2, 3,etc, they have to let him resurrect.

If all you read is American mainstream news that has the intention of defaming (and destroying/containing) China, then you will get a very narrow view of the situation. There is a lot more to it than the story that U.S propaganda lets people to believe.

Like you, i was once sucked into the U.S led propaganda and believed how terrible China was, but its' far from the truth. The U.S government simple can not stand another country being as strong and powerfula s them (especially if its' an Asian or non white nation.

Alright. I found that Tony Leung was paid $7.7M. That's really high salary. Comparing with Jet, Jet is like ******. But that's 1998. I may need to check Jet's pay in Mulan.

^ Communist China will eventually break into pieces like the former Soviet Union. There's almost no doubt about it. Xi Jinping is the biggest dictator in the world right now like his predecessor Mao Zedong. China ruled by CCP is like Vietnam and North Korea.

[quote]After Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings dominated the box office for two weeks in a row, it faces some competition this weekend from Cry Macho, which sees Clint Eastwood both back in the director’s chair and as leading man. However, the theatrical exclusive Shang-Chi has already shown itself to have solid legs, and there’s a good chance it will reign supreme once again this weekend. It dropped 54% in its second weekend, and a similar hold this weekend would bring in around $16 million. The latest Marvel superhero film hit $150 million on the 12th day of its release, beating Black Widow by four days. At the rate it is going, we may see Shang-Chi surpass Black Widow’s $183.2 million gross by next weekend, which would make it the best grossing film since Bad Boys For Life, released all the way back in January 2020.

Shang Chi is on pace to top Black Widow in domestic box office revenues. This will put Shang Chi as the top movie of 2021.

But if you count domestic and international box office revenues, the movie Fast Furious 9 would be the top grossing movie of 2021. F9 made an additional $200 million in China. Shang Chi could easily beat that amount in China. but.....

Shang Chi has made $10 mil in S.Korea so far. Guess what, Marvel Studios is casting a couple of Korean actors for upcoming Marvel movies. President Xi is totally okay with this.

This movie rocked. Saw it twice and want to see it again.
