5月21日，好莱坞影片《速度与激情9》（以下简称《速9》）正式在中国大陆公映。据猫眼专业版数据，截至今天中午12点，《速9》的累计票房已超9.5亿元，无疑是当下的最热门电影。 不过，该片主演却在这两天因为早前宣传时的不当言论上了热搜。 《速9》主演约翰·塞纳半个月前在中国台湾宣传影片时，称“台湾是第一个国家看到《玩命关头9》（速9台译名）。” 这段采访视频在近日被网友翻出，在微博引发争议。 25日深夜，塞纳在微博发文道歉，并配上视频，称“对我的错误，我很很抱歉......我爱更尊重中国和中国人。” 有意思的是，塞纳的道歉全程并未言明其错在何处，全程没有提及“台湾”。 微博网友对于这样的道歉并不接受—— U.S. actor and WWE icon John Cena apologized on Chinese social media after drawing the ire of Chinese netizens for falsely claiming that Taiwan is a country. Cena made the statement during an interview earlier this month with TVBS news, a Taiwan-based pay television channel. He apologized on his Sina Weibo account on Tuesday morning, saying that he was sorry for the mistake, "I love and respect China and Chinese people," he added. Cena's apology failed to appease the angry netizens, as they argue that Cena didn't show his sincerity by correcting his previous false statement about Taiwan. 约翰·塞纳是美国WWE职业摔角选手、演员，曾多次来到中国，能说一口较流利的中文。 2018年，他曾因拍电影在银川住了好几个月。在此期间，他在WWE官方油管频道上上传了几条他在中国的生活视频，播放量均超过百万，最高的一条累计播放量已超过2000万。 从视频记录的生活日常可以看出，塞纳非常享受在中国的生活，他甚至在一条视频中感叹道“我就像一个真正的银川人”（ I'm like a true Yinchuan citizen）。 但这次，这位自称“爱更尊重中国和中国人”的美国演员却没有就台湾问题表明立场。 John Cena is one of WWE's most popular wrestlers. But over the past few years, he is focusing more on his career in mainstream entertainment. He had come to China a few times and even lived in Yinchuan, a city in northwest China for several months in 2018, during which he shared his life on YouTube, generating tens of millions of views. 《速度与激情》系列是国内最受欢迎的好莱坞老牌大IP之一，此次约翰·塞纳新加盟的《速9》更是被影迷寄予厚望。 5月18日，《速9》在中国大陆举行线上发布会。影片主演范·迪塞尔、约翰·塞纳、卡迪·B等一众主创透过线上直播“隔空”亮相。在直播中，范·迪塞尔表示很感谢中国大陆观众把“速激”系列当作自家电影，正因为此，他做了“一件前所未有的事”：要求公司先在中国大陆上映《速9》，这是感谢中国大陆粉丝的一种方式。据当地媒体报道，《速9》原计划于5月19日在中国台湾上映，但受疫情影响，决定延后上映。 影片在中国大陆上映后，虽然票房一路飙升，口碑却是一路下滑，豆瓣评分已跌至5.5。 观众纷纷吐槽电影中许多不符合逻辑的情节设置：“主角可以手撕鬼子，凌空飞行”，“已经逐渐从飙车片拍成科幻片”，“这个宇宙没有牛顿三大定律”。 即便如此，该片却依然占据了中国大陆电影热映榜榜首位置。据猫眼专业版数据，《速9》的排片率仍远远超出其他同期影片，票房占比也超过60%。 Cena is a new cast in the ninth film of the immensely popular Fast and Furious franchise, officially released on the Chinese mainland on May 21. Before the movie hit the big screen in China, the film team held an online press briefing in the Chinese mainland with a virtual attendance from the film’s major stars, including Vin Diesel and Cena. During the press conference, Vin Diesel said he asked the film company to release Fast and Furious 9 in the Chinese mainland first as a way to show gratitude to the fans here. Fast and Furious 9 was scheduled to be released on May 19 in southeast China's island region of Taiwan but has been postponed due to the recent COVID-19 surge, local media said. According to Maoyan figures, the movie has earned over $148 million in box office revenue in the Chinese mainland as of 12:00 p.m. Tuesday, though the critical response is less than desirable. 推荐阅读：21人遇难！“失温”到底是怎么回事？ “宁要曹县一张床，不要上海一套房”？曹县是什么梗？
