Now Marvel Studios has taken the character to the big screen, offering audiences their first Asian superhero protagonist. “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” opened in theaters on Friday, Sept. 3. Times are slowly changing, and this comic powerhouse has understood the importance of diversity, of changing with the times, and of giving ethnic characters the spotlight, said John Jennings, a media and cultural studies professor at UC Riverside. When Shang-Chi emerged in comic books, he was mainly promoted as the “Master of Kung Fu,” because kung fu and martial arts connected with Americans. Using the true name, Shang-Chi, in the headline was not as appealing, Jennings said. Comic book publishers capitalized on readers’ interest in martial arts, using it as a marketing tool as opposed to the character’s race and ethnicity, he added. Shang-Chi’s film character is played by Chinese-Canadian actor Simu Liu. Beyond playing the protagonist, Liu’s role is significant in that Hollywood is moving away from “yellow face,” meaning having non-Asian characters rely on costumes, music, martial arts, makeup, accents, and other stereotypes to portray an Asian character. Yellow face is not a new practice, it has been used by Hollywood for many years, Jennings said. “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” was written by Dave Callaham, and Asian-American; and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who has Hawaiian ancestry. Having a diverse crew is crucial to getting the right cast and the story to resonate at a deeper level, Jennings said. 【Key Vocabulary】 Marvel 漫威公司 Protagonist 主角 Diversity 多樣性 Emerge 出現 as appealing 一樣的吸引力 Headline 頭條 Yellow Face 黃種人(貶意) Ancestry 血統 贊助支持J個英文：https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/a720990e-d5d0-4b15-9a38-c56bf2b235b5 ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Business Inquiries｜ jacker.english@gmail.com Instagram｜ https://www.instagram.com/jacker_english/

新聞出處：https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/05/conan-obrien-is-officially-ending-conan-this-summer TV’s longest-running late-night host is officially stepping away from his desk. On Monday, Conan O’Brien announced that his current show, Conan, will be airing its final episode on June 24, after 11 seasons on TBS. The writing was on the wall that Conan would be coming to an end. Last fall TBS parent company WarnerMedia announced that O’Brien had inked a deal to take his talents to streaming and produce a weekly variety show for HBO Max. O’Brien will continue making his Conan Without Borders specials for TBS, though, as well as the podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. O’Brien’s departure from late-night television marks the end of an era. A staple of the genre, O’Brien has been hosting a late-night television program for 28 years, since he took over NBC’s Late Night from David Letterman in 1993. He hosted Late Night until 2009, when he briefly took over NBC’s Tonight Show from Jay Leno. That run came to a dramatic end, though, when the network scheduled a prime-time series hosted by Leno to air nightly before O’Brien’s Tonight Show. O’Brien and NBC eventually parted ways in January of 2010, with Leno taking over Tonight once more before eventually passing the torch to current host Jimmy Fallon. The very public debacle launched the hashtag #TeamCoco in support of O’Brien and sent the comedian to cable television, where he would launch Conan at TBS in November of 2010. “For 11 years the people at Turner have been absolutely lovely to me,” O’Brien said in his announcement, adding that the final weeks of Conan will feature a lineup of special guests, take a “fun look back” at his tenure at TBS, and end with an hour-long finale episode. 【Key Vocabulary】 Streaming 串流媒體 The writing was on the wall 曾有跡象 late-night 深夜秀 Prime-time 黃金時段 Part ways 分道揚鑣 To pick something up, you must first put something down 舊的不去，新的不來 Drunk out of your skull 非常醉 Belligerent 好鬥 Maintained 堅持己見 swinging at (someone) 試著攻擊 Conan Podcast：Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend TBS special："Conan without Borders" 贊助支持J個英文：https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/a720990e-d5d0-4b15-9a38-c56bf2b235b5 ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Business Inquiries｜ jacker.english@gmail.com Instagram｜ https://www.instagram.com/jacker_english/
