When was the last time an Asian actor or actress was considered an A list Hollywood star? It seems like there aren't many
Awkwafina is the biggest star in Hollywood.
no she isn't
jackie chan's heyday
Why haven't we had a real star since Jackie or I guess jet Lee. Do people not care about Asian talent unless they are doing fight scenes?
we've shifted away from the movie star in general
it's more about the franchise now
Frick you're right
the squid game people
Who?
Well, Israel is technically part of Asia, so...
Asian people are only like 5% of the US population.
Blacks are only like 6.5% of the California population. Around 12% of total USA. Meanwhile "asians" are 13-15% of California. You think screen time reflects that? Let's not even get into how many israelites there are.
>Around 12% of total USA
Exactly. 13 % of the population is much bigger than 5%
East Asians in the West are too busy becoming doctors to attempt to become Hollywood stars
>mum, dad....I want to be an actor
>*slap*
>YOU STUDY MORE
>I can do both! Take that mom and dad!

There was never a time. Westerners don't find Asians interesting because they're not an interesting people. Asian men can't be leading men because women don't want to sleep with them and men don't want to be them. Asian women, at best, can only serve as a romantic love interest. Neither of these is good enough to be A list material.
It's almost like the media in predominently white countries reflected the ethnography of that by which it was produced while also sometimes promoting interesting facets of other peoples and cultures. Hmmmmmmm--that was evil.
White actors are international stars. Asian actors aren't. The biggest stars out of Asia are are Japanese porn actresses. Why is that?
Jackie Chan is a Japanese porn actress!???? code now!!!
Jackie Chan was a novelty act. Remember Chow Yun Fat? Yeah, I thought you didn't. Asians are an uninteresting and unremarkable people to us. Aside from a few novelty cultural exports; Anime, JAV, KPop, Godzilla movies, Kung Fu movies, and Nintendo; Asians have had little to no cultural impact on us Westerners.
>Remember Chow Yun Fat?
I do, he was in Dragonball Evolution
The technology for the widespread production and dissemination of media came out of the West and therefore reflected the West. As far as Japan goes they developed their own studio system, as early as and around the same time as Hollywood I'll add, that continues to produce its own media and therefore stars.
Also, bringing pornography into it is pretty disingenuous but I'll note that it also decided the home video format wars in the 80s (i.e. the urge to watch people frick knows no borders and vice will spread without active efforts of containment).
Only Hollywood makes movies that can be universally appreciated around the world. That is Botha and bad thing. It means our movies don't have any cultural impact on us, there's no relatibility despite it taking place in America.
Meanwhile Bollywood makes movies for India. It may not appeal to other countries but it doesn't have to, it's more relevant and impactful in that region and the people like it more.
Same with Asian films. They're meant to be viewed by someone who knows the culture.
Hollywood sold out. I wouldn't go around boasting like that's a good thing. America doesn't make movies for America anymore.
>hollywood sold out
This moron actually thinks hollywood belongs to America kek
I literally just fricking explained how it doesn't belong to America you mouth breathing ESL holy fricking shit LEARN TO READ
>NOOOO THE THING I JUST SAID IS NOT WHAT I JUST SAID
The West is a global empire, anon. Bollywood can only influence Hollywood via novelty while Western media sets the tone for the entire world. If you want more nuanced representations of culture just turn off the blockbuster capeshit (which is still representative of Western mythology) and watch smaller scale or even independent films.
>Western media sets the tone for the entire world.
No we don't. Hollywood purposely edits out anything that would clash with foreign culture like lgbt representation. The west doesn't export culture, hell, it does the opposite, only importing foreign cultures to make money. The west has no culture, it's strictly all money and business.
Are you trying to say capeshit isnt American culture?
>The west doesn't export culture
Did you type that while wearing blue jeans? Want more examples?
>The west has no culture
Ha. Global hegemon, homosexual. Cope. (inb4 it's in decline and us Changs are taking over!!! The West sheds a civilization or two before lunch).
>The biggest stars out of Asia are are Japanese porn actresses
you're so out of touch, holy shit
A novelty act soon to be forgotten in 5,4,3,2,...
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting in the 1970s anon. Not so much now.
>Japanese pornstars have a longer shelf life than BTS
You're moronic.
They have about the same shelf-life. Maybe a little longer. And the JAV pornstars' work will still be sought after and consumed long after they've retired.
>sought after and consumed
Your takes on the proliferation of media and cultural artifacts are dumb and you should probably be quiet.
Remember SNSD? What have they been up to lately?
Lucy Liu?
Correct. She was the last one. And she hasn't been a list in a long time but hey people like that not-Sherlock show she's in
hollywood goes out of their way to hire only the ugliest westernized asians
they will never cast a real asian beauty
Tony Leung is big. Known for acting with his eyes.
Recommended movie is in the mood for Love.
This is also an excellent channel for East Asian film video essays.
Isn't he the guy that fricked pretty much every single Chinese actress/model and filmed/photographed them? He had to go into hiding being Chinese media is so mobbed up that they were threatening to kill him (and "cut off his arms" if I remember) for ruining the public image of so many of their celebrities.
He's almost too based to live
The deranged schoolgirl in kill Bill
Interesting question but I can tell the replies are gonna be bait or pol shit
Jews intentionally look for the most ugliest Asian actors they can find.
Kanna is mine you mongrel
