Hollywood has a long, illustrious history of casting white people for Asian
characters. And film heavyweights like Aaron Sorkin have the gall to complain
that, “There aren’t any Asian movie stars.”
众所周知，好莱坞一直都有一个传统：不用亚裔演员，而用白人演员。重量级的电影编剧阿伦·索尔金甚至抱怨说：“亚洲根本没有影星。”
Serious question: How does someone become a movie star if they’re never
cast in anything?
重大问题：如果一个演员从未演过电影，又怎么能成为一个影星呢?
So here’s one solution, courtesy of Twitter: Just cast John Cho in
everything.
推特上的解决办法;由约翰·赵出演所有电影。
@StarringJohnCho is a thought experiment / Photoshop masterwork from a
young digital strategist named William Yu. It reimagines Hollywood blockbusters
from Jurassic Park to The Martian with Cho in the leading role. It turns out the
dreamy, criminally undercast star of #Selfie and Harold and Kumar looks good in
basically every context.
@StarringJohnCho是由年轻的数字策略师威廉·于发起的项目，设想让约翰·赵饰演《侏罗纪公园》、《火星救援》等好莱坞大片的主角形象。结果，出演《再造淑女》和《寻堡奇遇》的约翰·赵无论饰演哪部电影都英俊非凡。
The account is “a social movement that shows you what it would look like if
today’s Hollywood blockbusters cast an Asian-American actor as their leading
man,” according to its Twitter bio.
该账号在推特上的个人简介中写道“如果让亚裔美国演员出演当前好莱坞大片的主角会怎么样?”
“I’m tired of hearing that a role can’t be played by an Asian actor because
people ‘just don’t see it. #Starring John Cho is here to literally show you,”
Yu, who is 25, told NBC News. “Films with more diverse casts result in higher
box office numbers and higher returns on investments for film companies, yet
Hollywood won’t cast lead actors to reflect this fact.”
“我讨厌听到‘亚裔演员无法饰演某一角色，原因是人们根本不看他们出演的电影’。#Starring John
Cho就是为了证明亚裔演员也可以出演好莱坞大片。”25岁的威廉·于告诉BBC记者说。“演员多元化能使电影票房更高，投资的影视公司也可以从中赚取更高的利润。然而，好莱坞并没有这样做。”
Asians represented just 5.1 percent of speaking or named characters across
film, television and digital series in 2014, according to a USC study on
diversity in entertainment highlighted in the Hollywood Reporter. And despite
Cho’s obvious talent (RIP #Selfie), his IMDB page only lists a handful of
upcoming roles. So let’s hope some of these posters nudge the industry in the
right direction.
2014年，南加州大学对《好莱坞记者报》强调的影视多元化问题进行研究。结果表明，亚裔演员在电影、电视和数码系列等知名影视作品中的饰演率仅占5.1%。尽管约翰·赵在《再造淑女》中的演绎极具天赋，但他即将出演的电影角色仍然屈指可数。因此，我们希望这些修改过的电影海报能够使电影业朝着正确的方向发展。
