Co-writing with Tony Leung Chiu-wai: He has already reported the controversy of Shang-Chi to Marvel

The public account "First Director" talked to screenwriter and director Weng Ziguang who had worked with Tony Leung Chiu-wai. Weng Ziguang revealed: Tony Leung Chiu-wai heard about netizens' doubts about the "insulting China" of his new Marvel film "Shang-Chi" and "The Mandarin", and reported the matter to Disney.

Weng Ziguang also believes that such doubts are unfair, saying that he hopes that the audience will evaluate after seeing the finished film, and not follow the trend or shout slogans, saying that "sometimes it is easy to succeed when the group defeats the minority". He said: "The movie hasn't come out yet, how do you know what the script is like? Is the current Batman the same as the previous one? The Batman shot by Nolan was chased by a dog, and the character keeps changing.

He (Tony Leung) said he had already reported this to Disney, and they paid special attention to this matter. So this character is not the racist one that the audience imagines. How is that possible? Doesn’t Marvel want to come to the mainland? "
