The new art poster of Shang-Chi has too much Mandarin dialogue, causing heated discussion

Recently, the new art poster of the Marvel movie "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" was exposed. Shang-Chi made a domineering appearance. Let’s appreciate it together!

The precise North American box office figures for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings were released, with a three-day box office of $75,388,688 in the first weekend, second only to Black Widow's first weekend of $80,366,000. The final box office for the first four days of the weekend was as high as $94,672,848,000, higher than Black Widow's first four-day box office of $87.53 million (excluding Disney+ streaming paid users), setting a record for the best opening box office in North America during the epidemic.

As a Hollywood blockbuster with a production cost of 150 million US dollars, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings actually has a lot of Mandarin Chinese dialogue, which is incredible to North American audiences. After all, Hollywood has no shortage of Chinese-themed movies and TV series, but basically 99% of the dialogue is in English. So for American audiences, it is also very unusual to have to bite the bullet and watch so many English subtitles in a blockbuster.

This has also sparked heated discussions online. Director Destin Cretton said: "The language used for communication is always based on the logical design of the character and the language he should use." He emphasized that when he began to conceive, he confirmed that there would be a lot of Chinese. "So the dialogue started with the discussion in the screenwriter's room. Once the actors are in place, these dialogues will become bilingual, trilingual or even quadrilingual characters. They can use appropriate and meaningful languages ​​according to the scene. So we have been discussing the meaning of these scenes."
