Chadwick Boseman crowned "Most Popular U.S. Actor in China"
- Thread starter Raptomex
- Start date
Oh hell no. I skimmed through it. Saw they had that actress whose name I can't remember doing a somewhat typical role for herself, caught the Marbury bad acting emotional crying scene complete with the aforementioned actress saying "god has a plan" or "these things happen for a reason" (Can't remember which), and dash of other poorly acted scenes between starbury and his Chinese friend.
Yeah someone should send imdb the message. I was trying to look up the lady's name and It's not listed under Starbury's profile. I did at least learn this fun fact: he played himself in nba ballers.
I can't help but think there was some political pressure behind the scenes to combat the perception China is racist towards black people.

Never mind, I thought this was an award ceremony in China.

I thought that was more awkward than racist. It's funny though because I saw a recent interview of Frank Grillo promoting Wheelman and he was being interviewed by a Black media outlet, and the first thing he does is tell them how much percentage Black he is. LOL
Younger generation, I'm guessing. Of course there are still some prejudices but world is getting smaller due to technology.
If you don't know who someone is and you want to go into a thread about that person and shitpost about how you don't know who they are
Please do a quick internet search using a search engine like bing.com before posting in the thread!
However you want to interpret that. I'm not feeling the need to go out on a limb to convince anyone about how I feel about it.
That's what made it awkward. They should've did a bit more probing.
Yeah, I don't think so. What are the odds that Disney pulled some strings to promote Boseman so that Black Panther does better in China?
Basing what on what? The thought that I don't think this is true? Or the question that I asked?
Interesting question. Why do you think that they would need to do that to begin with?
Already does. Need someone to star in a black biopic or play an important black fictional character? Call Chadwick Boseman.
Firsy, all Boseman has so far have been bit parts in movies, including 1 big movie that released 1.5 years ago in China. Not even in the US is the most popular actor.
The other part is just a question. Disney has enough pull and enough motive to make it happen. Why? To ensure that BP has a good WW boxoffice of course.
He's great in Get on Up as James Brown and in the recent Marshall as Thurgood Marshall. Though I would of liked a more in depth look at Marshall's career than just the one case. (that's neither here or there though)
Disney International: "shit, couldn't they have done this award before we wasted money and energy on those shops?!"
I simply don't believe it. Dudes been in like 2 movies anyone would have heard of in the passed few years. This is a pretty obvious publicity stunt. I mean, it would be great if it were true, but it literally makes no sense.
B-b-but black film actors don't do well in other countries. I don't want to hear any more excuses from hollywood if BP is a smash over in China.
Quite a few blatantly do but it would be unfair to judge an entire country we're still learning about.
This is godamn weird in all the coolest and best ways. But you know what.....I LOVE BEING RIGHT!!!! >_<
I freaking KNEW he would go places since I first saw him on that episode of Fringe! He's just a damn good actor and I'm really happy he's getting to carry such an important character going forward and getting the recognition he deserves.

Nah, Gods of Egypt clearly won over the heart of the Chinese people.
