最近老中老印的比较主要集中在挨踢方面。 这阵子出了几个老印CEOs,不少老中慌了阵脚,担心未来, 害怕失去工作。前几天有那谁的妈撰文嚷嚷着要孩子不要学挨踢, 显然挨踢的黄金时代已经过去了。更可怕的未来她没想到,挨踢印度外包, 跟美国过去的制造业差不多,你说能不雇用老印的CEOs吗?
前面说过,从其他方面来看,华人并不输于老印, 只不过有些人不知道,或者不愿意承认罢了, 对这些没自信的老中你也没辙。拿电脑来说,王安风光的时候, 老印在哪?要不是管理问题上出了偏差,比尔盖茨恐怕现在也只是码农一个。
今天讲讲艺术和娱乐业,也算是华人骄傲成功的方面。 艺术界有不少老中名人。大名鼎鼎的贝聿铭就是世界闻名的建筑设计 师。还有林瓔(Maya Lin),是设计越南阵亡战士纪念碑的。还有不少。他们绝对是中国人的骄傲。印度人哪去了?
华人很早就在好莱坞入戏了。华人早期来美修铁路,挖矿山, 开洗衣店,中餐馆,这些都是美国人的生活内容,入戏是很正常大。 老印来得较晚,而且都是学术为主,没啥好入戏的, 何况他们也不是主流,谁整天愿意看书呆子啊?二战中美是联盟,里面也有不少电影故事。 华人任主角应该是最近几十年的事。老印国内的电影业是非常发达。 小时看过《流浪者》,《大篷车》等印度电影,又唱又跳的,是个欢快民族。 但老印电影也基本上停留在国内发行,自产自销,在美国很少有。 Netflix有一点。
华人演员当中,最出名的应该是李小龙(Bruce Lee),在当时绝对是风靡全美,甚至全球,名副其实的誉满全球。 功夫热至今还在持续。李连杰也同样出名。 有印度同学整天在我面前大赞李连杰的《少林寺》,功夫了得。此外,成龙, 章子怡等也都很有名,家喻户晓。导演李安等都是奥斯卡奖获得者。 老印哪去了?你能叫出在美出名的印度演员导演的名字吗?
前一阵子,有2014美国小姐来讲座,印度人,可惜时间紧, 错过了,连名字就记不住了。
坦白说吧,比到现在,老印早就输掉内裤了。谁愿意,可以继续比下去,你不会失望的,除了拼字游戏以外。
