Why John Cena apologized to Chinese people?

 


John Cena is an American wrestler and actor who currently signed with WWE is in news for not good reasons. He accidentally wading into territorial dispute by mentioning Taiwan as a country. That’s it. Chinese social media started trolling WWE star for his tongue slip. He is wrestling with new opponent. John Cena is facing political backlash in China after calling Taiwan as a country during his film promotion. That caused great wrestling star to fear and made an apologized video in social media.


He went to Taiwan for the promotion of his new film Furious 9 in May this year. Cena was being interviewed on Taiwanese TV to promote F9, the new Fast & Furious movie and said in Mandarin language saying that Taiwan is the first nation can watch “F9”. Chinese fans were irate that he referred to Taiwan as a country, and not part of China. Taiwan has identity crisis with China since many years.  Taiwan sees itself as an autonomous democracy and nation but China considers it a Chinese territory that they will reclaim. Wrestling star struggled in between their politics. Afterwards Cena was recognized the damage to his words and released apologized video in same Mandarin.




Cena is not the first star in involving Chinese internal affairs. In 1993, Richard Gere another actor supported Tibetian movement. He was banned from hosting Oscars function for supporting Tibet. Hollywood has maintained silence on politically sensitive issues for safeguarding its business interests. Fast & Furious 9 smashed through the box office during its May 21 release in China last weekend, raking in $148 million. China has largest movie market in 2020 after it touching $3.1 billion as box-office revenue. The “Fast & Furious” movie has traditionally performed well in Chinese theatre houses. But wrestling hero John Cena called pathetic for apologizing to China over Taiwan remark.

Producers demand 18 crores for Ceded for Pavan and Trivikram film

Director Rajamouli showed the path to all other producers on how to sell product (movie) in different ways across the word. Telugu Cinema has vertically divided in two ways Before and after Bahubali. Bahubali proves that there were no boundaries in selling the movie. Other producers who are doing with star heros like Pavan, Mahesh and Jr. NTR will follow Rajamouli in this regard. But there is slight difference with Bahubali and other heros films. Unfortunately, producers and distributors fail to notice the gap. Bahubali is universal movie which was apt to all sections in the world. That is the reason for getting huge collections across the world. We didn't expect the same situation for Prabas's next movie even though his popularity increased with Bahubali. Radha Krishna who produced movies like Julayi and A.
