The mainstream media in the United States basically have mainstream positive comments on Aladdin

However, media, critics or audiences are indispensable to question why Aladdin is a Chinese

However, in Qiao Feng's opinion, except for some of the doubts that I really don't understand, other media still charge money to discredit Aladdin.

This is normal. Movies in the United States or any country will encounter slander from competitors when they are released.

After all, hitting opponents is to improve your box office

For Donald Duck Club's Lost Magic Lamp, Aladdin's release of MGM also spent a lot of money to buy a layout to attack it

This is a common way of competition

The attack on the Lost Magic Lamp of Donald Duck Club is like the Chicago Sun's evaluation. Whether it is the coherence of the story or the rough production level, it is a real hard injury in this film of Disney.

So, if you attack it, it can indeed affect the box office of this film.

But for Aladdin, these accusations that Aladdin has Chinese elements in it have no impact on the box office

Because for American audiences, the background of the protagonist in an animation is really not that important

Because the entire story of the original Aladdin is an Arabic background, even such a background American audience didn't say anything, nor did it affect the box office of the movie. Now if Aladdin is a Chinese, it wouldn't have a big impact.

Qiao Feng attaches great importance to Aladdin

Why do you value it very much

Because this film won more than 200 million US dollars in North America and more than 500 million US dollars in original time and space.

Including other peripheral revenues, there is a total revenue of no less than one billion US dollars.

Compared to the investment of more than 20 million US dollars, the revenue of this animated film is extremely terrifying.

But there is another very important point, that is, this film can still be rejuvenated in new cameras and shoot live-action movies more than 20 years later

And it is also a blue-skinned elf played by black superstar Will Smith

This live-action animation adaptation movie is welcomed by audiences whether in Europe, Oceania, South America or Asia. It is inevitable that the global box office will exceed one billion US dollars.

One of the reasons why Aladdin's live-action animated movies are so successful is that they cannot be ignored is the diversified cast.

Aladdin's live-action movie has not been released yet, and it was even just rumored that black superstar Will Smith played the blue-skinned elf, which caused a sensation.

There are even more curses on the Internet

Whether Aladdin and Princess choose Asian actors or Will Smith as the elves, they have almost been ridiculed.

Therefore, people believe that such a live-action movie of Aladdin will inevitably fail.

But it turns out that the view that controversy on the Internet will have a significant impact is an illusion. On the contrary, the diversified cast is beneficial to the box office, but it is true that it is true that the company is diversified and the box office is beneficial.

This can be seen from the more and more members of the Fast and Furious series, the higher the box office of the big family members of all kinds of skins, the higher the box office of them.

In order to lay the foundation for the future Aladdin live-action animated film with diversified cast, this is also a consideration for Qiao Feng to set Aladdin for the Chinese.

There is also that Qiao Feng is a Chinese, so he naturally hopes to add Chinese elements to the movie to give people from all over the world a channel to understand China.

Of course, there is another main reason. In the story of Aladdin, Aladdin is a Chinese

Aladdin is a story about Middle Arabia, from the Thousand and One Nights, also called the Age of the Nights

How did the name of the Story Collection of One Thousand and One Nights come from?

According to legend, there was a Sasan country between India and China. King Shanluyal was cruel and jealous by nature. He killed the queen because of misbehavior. He then married a girl every day and killed the next morning to show revenge.

In order to save innocent women, the prime minister's daughter, Shanruzod, voluntarily married the king and used the method of telling stories to attract the king. She talked to the most exciting part every night. It was just dawn, which made the king unable to bear to kill him. She allowed her to continue talking next night.

Her story has been told for a thousand and one night, and the king was finally moved and lived with her until old age.

This is the origin of the name of One Thousand and One Nights

Sasan is located between India and China, so this has caused the emergence of Chinese elements and even Chinese people.

In the original story, Aladdin was a Chinese, and even the story happened in China

It’s just that the Chinese in the story is based on the author’s imagination and has a strong color

Since the story collection of One Thousand and One Nights was around the seventh century AD, the Tang Dynasty was in its peak. The unprecedented vast territory made the Arab Empire believe that it was east of its scope of activities. All of them, including today's Afghanistan, were China's sphere of influence, that is, Central Asia under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, there is even a Jewish businessman who bought vessels from Aladdin (he also blackmailed Aladdin), but no Buddhist or Confucian scholar has been mentioned.

Everyone has an Arab name in this country, and their rulers are more like the Persian king than the Chinese emperor

Because the author lacks a specific understanding of China, he simply "turned" the Eastern world into a simple and crude way.

This kind of story background is very common in fairy tales - highlighting that the story will not lose its artistic conception if it is too realistic.

The creator of the story does not know the existence of America, so Aladdin's "China" represents the "East East", while the magician's hometown of Morocco is the "East West"

The story begins with the story telling the story of the magician coming to China from afar as much as he can. It is the longest journey in the creator's worldview, and it shows the magician's determination to try to obtain the priceless magic lamp.

When the story develops to the end, the elves help Aladdin and the magicians instantly travel between the East and the West without any effort, showing the powerful power of the elves.

In recent years, Aladdin's story has almost no Chinese elements, and Aladdin is no longer Chinese

Many people forget this or even disagree with it.

How could Aladdin be a Chinese? Even if this name is not similar

However, the Aladdin pantomime performed on stage at the Royal Theatre in London in the 17th century provides favorable evidence for the setting that Aladdin is Chinese

Starting from 1788 when John Ouqifei brought Aladdin to the stage of the Royal Theatre in London, Aladdin's pantomime version of the scene setting and plot were all as much as possible to incorporate Chinese elements (although the "China" scene is in the East End of London, not in the medieval Baghdad)

And the reason why people gradually forget that Aladdin and the story happened in China is because the original Aladdin animated film produced by Disney two years later

In Disney animated movies, many characters have their original names renamed (such as the magician was renamed "Jafang" and became ministers in the court), and the characters have new targets in the play (such as the magic lamp elves desire freedom) or are replaced (the ring elves disappear, and they are replaced by the magic carpet)

The story scene has also moved from China to the fictional Arab city of Agraba, and the story structure has been simplified.

Qiao Feng used almost all the settings and plots of Aladdin in the Disney version, but the only thing is that Aladdin's identity has been changed back.

In his version of the movie, Aladdin is Chinese

This is a result of multiple considerations. Whether it is future live-action movies or current American audiences' attitude towards Arabic elements and Chinese elements, Qiao Feng has considered it.

Therefore, Qiao Feng doesn't care about some insignificant doubts at all.

As for now, with Aladdin's box office, Qiao Feng doesn't care even more

Because, there is no movie that can compete with Aladdin in the same period.
