Ugly photographer

Jia Ren magazine shared the cover of a group of international stars Li Bingbing. The cover borrows the "China element", saying that there is a saying in The Doctrine of the Mean: If you travel far, you will be proud.

Although these photos are beautiful, one of them has caused controversy among netizens. It is not that Li Bingbing is not beautiful enough, but the background element of this photo, which is suspected of "insulting China". In this photo, Li Bingbing is half lying on the ground, walking with one hand, deliberately pulling down his clothes to reveal one side of his shoulder and sling, while the background of Li Bingbing is a blood-red full moon with a black dragon clearly printed on it. The problem lies in this dragon.

Some netizens pointed out that this twisted "dragon" that almost turned into an S-shape originated from the "dragon girl" of Huang Liushuang, an early Chinese actress in Hollywood. The dragon in the work is actually a "dragon", which is also the image that foreigners described us as villains in China at that time.

Onlookers said: "It is suggested not to show the top five magazines because they have no cultural background, so they are embarrassed and ignorant", "Fashion circles don't study hard" and "Fashion circles really like to dress themselves as squints". ...

Huang Liushuang, born in 1905, made her debut in the United States on 19 19. In Hollywood movies at that time, she was always portrayed as a villain and a villain. The pattern of "dragon" often appears in her photos and is considered as a symbol of evil creatures. In those days, Huang Liushuang had to make movies, even though he didn't want to. But now it's 2022, and netizens said that some people took almost the same photos, which is amazing.

After pointing out this mistake, the editor and photographer of the magazine contacted her and explained that it was improper operation. The solution given is not to print any more films. "Photographer Zhang Jiacheng and magazine editors also said that their research was unfavorable and their homework was incomplete, which led to the use of Huang Liushuang's dragon totem, which caused the current problem."

Soon, photographer Zhang Jiacheng issued an apology. He claimed that it was not intentional, but because of the problems caused by insufficient research. I apologize to everyone here, and I will be more cautious about the application of elements in the future! He likes the culture of China very much, and has been exporting the culture of China on social platforms through his meager strength. He also hopes that everyone will not take this opportunity to slander him and his magazine.

It can be seen that the photographer's attitude is still very sincere. Many people have chosen to forgive him and really believe that he did it unintentionally! But soon, some netizens dug up a personal WeChat official account in Zhang Jiacheng, and there was an article in it that was a detailed interpretation of the movie "Dragon Girl".

This official WeChat account introduces the stereotype of China culture in the West in detail, and lists the significance of the movie poster of Dragon Girl. The article points out that women play a certain occupation, men play a humble occupation, and so on. They ended up either killing or committing suicide. It can be seen that this photographer is quite familiar with the perspective of westerners on China people, but since he knows so well, why should he attach such a picture to the poster for Li Bingbing? Isn't this knowingly?

Remember that fashion and art should be confident, and there is no need to deliberately please and cater to western aesthetics in order to go international. Li Bingbing is an international movie star, but she is also a female star in China. Photographers should respect China culture first, and then female stars.
