“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” trailer analysis

“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” trailer analysis, 3 stinger, or lay the groundwork for Marvel’s new universe.

At the end of “Avengers 4”, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and other creators have left one after another, and also announced the end of the third stage of the Marvel universe.

As a link between “Spider-Man: Far From Home”, it only brings out the concept of “multiverse”, which is very abstract without too many details.

Where should the fourth stage of the Marvel Universe begin?

Although the official announcement of “Black Widow” is the beginning of the “Marvel Phase IV” movie.

However, the current release of “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” really paved the way for the new Marvel universe.

The box office easily surpassed 820 million in 3 days. Does “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” tell American stories with Chinese elements?

On September 3, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” was “released globally” except in China, and the North American box office easily exceeded $127 million in just three days.

The North American IMDB even gave 8.1 points, and the audience popcorn index was as high as 98%, which can be described as a double win at the box office.

Leaving the Chinese market aside, the fact that it can get such a box office shows that the commercial value of this Chinese-style Marvel superhero movie is worthy of recognition.

But it is only confined to business, the film is a product of “crappy” Chinese elements.

Like this country, American movies are full of “individual heroism”, mostly preaching a protagonist to save the world.

And most of the heroic stories in China are based on the original intention of “coming together” to support difficulties from all sides.

Even “Mulan”, released last year, has a strong personal heroism.

It can be said to look down on “Chinese culture” with the eyes of a high white man.

However, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”, a Chinese heroic movie, is also full of controversy.

According to the cartoon, the biggest BOSS “Fu Manchu” was portrayed as the villain of Yellow Peril by the United States.

Does “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” continue to tell American stories with Chinese elements?

Let me talk about the conclusion first, this time Marvel’s new film is a bit different.

In the previous Hollywood blockbusters, almost all Chinese actors were recruited to speak English dialogues to tell Chinese stories.

Even if there is crappy Mandarin, the domestic audience can’t understand it.

This time the starring roles of “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” brought in Tony Leung, Simu Liu, Michelle Yeoh and Yuan Hua. The film is full of pure Chinese elements.

And nearly half of the scenes are in Mandarin dialogue. Of course, Marvel still hopes to earn the box office in mainland China, so it is “forced to make a change.”

The plot is even more drastically changed. The Mandarin, which was originally suspected of insulting China, disappeared and replaced by Wenwu played by Tony Leung.

Wenwu has the extraordinary power of immortality under the blessing of the “Ten Commandments”, and has been conquering the world for thousands of years.

He gave up his strength and became an ordinary person after meeting Shangqi’s mother and being influenced by him.

With the enemy’s revenge on the death of his wife, Wenwu once again ignited the revengeful civil and military ambitions to conquer the world.

Shang-Chi’s return from the United States, shouldering to defeat Wenwu, staged a “father’s kindness and filial piety” drama.

Do you know why Marvel has to change the plot and add a lot of Chinese elements?

“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” cost more than 200 million US dollars to film.

In addition to the dazzling box office in North America, South Korea has less than 6.6 million in the box office, Britain has only 7.7 million, and other markets have no more than 5 million in box office.

The purpose of this wave of operations is to win the favor of Chinese audiences and strive to be popular in the Chinese market.

After all, if Chinese audiences don’t buy it, it’s still unknown whether this movie can be repaid.

The three big stinger may lay the groundwork for Marvel’s “Phase 4 Universe”.

“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” has not yet confirmed the release date in mainland China, but the trailers related to the film have been released for a long time.

After watching these trailers, I found three stinger, which may pave the way for the beginning of Marvel’s new universe. I will analyze it with you today.

1.The appearance of the Wong, the origin of the ten ring ring is not simple.

As a magic expert in the Marvel universe, Doctor Strange is undoubtedly. In the trailer of “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”, he has appeared in similar libraries and fighting arenas many times. Why is Doctor Strange missing alone?

The curator guessed that Doctor Strange should be a mentor to Little Spider again at this time.

Combined with Wenwu (played by Tony Leung) saying that “for thousands of years, the ten rings have given my family strength”, it can be judged that this is a remarkable artifact.

Wenwu founded the “Ten Rings organization” after obtaining this artifact, conquered many countries and achieved the effect of immortality.

It is this organization that appears the villain in “Iron Man 3”.

For this artifact, Wong found Captain Marvel and Bruce Banner, and both of them agreed that this thing has a very ancient history, and it doesn’t even look like a substance on earth.

Wong also said that when Shang-Chi used Ten Rings, he felt a signal emitted from above, but he didn’t know where the signal receiving end was.

Recall that in “Avengers 1”, the space gem sent Loki and the army, isn’t it just Thanos?

It is possible that this is laying the groundwork for the future big boss.

2. Deviants, leading to Marvel’s next movie “Eternals”.

In a gang fight scene in the trailer, a group of monsters sucking the souls of creatures appears.

Combined with the information in the comics, this may be the creature of Deviants, who live by sucking human fear, replaced by soul in the movie.

They are a group of very ancient creatures, and it was this group of creatures that messed up the earth’s civilization in the first place.

Later, after the universe gods descended on the earth, they sealed the Deviants.

Marvel’s next movie “Eternals” is about the celestial races that exist in the universe.

Wenwu was probably bewitched by the Deviants before rebelling, thinking that his dead wife was trapped.

Wenwu broke the seal and released the Deviants in order to save his wife.

3.The mysterious Chinese dragon.

There are two scenes in the trailer, one is Shang-Chi meeting a Chinese dragon underwater, and the other is where they fly together.

In the movie, this is a guardian dragon, but in the comics it is the villain Fin Fang Foom.

Now that Marvel has changed the plot this time and changed the original Fu Manchu to civil and military, will the Fin Fang Foom who follow The Mandarin also be changed?

I think it is possible, we should understand it from two parts.

One part is the guardian dragon, and the other part is the villain Fin Fang Foom.

In fact, this monster came from the universe and then became the pet of The Mandarin.

Fin Fang Foom is actually closely related to Deviants, and the mysterious Chinese dragon in the movie seems to be guarding something.

Its appearance may be adapted by Marvel in order to bury a new plot.

Whether “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” will be screened in China is still unknown.

In all fairness, Hollywood obviously made a lot of changes in order to please the Chinese audience.

The three stinger parsed from the trailer may be more related to the beginning of Marvel’s Fourth Universe. As for the others, we can only wait for the feature film to be announced.
