Pakistani actor shines in Chinese film industry
By Xiong Weisheng | China Economic Net Aug 19, 2022
XI’AN, Aug 19 (China Economic Net) – Armed with military armour and a rifle, a foreign soldier collaborates with his Chinese counterparts to fight against villains in a street lined with high-rise buildings. This is a scene in a Chinese scientific film entitled The Infinite Block, which was recently released on Tencent Video and iQIYI, two popular streaming websites in China.

The foreign soldier in question is played by Anees Qadir, a Pakistani actor based in China’s northwestern city of Xi’an. Four years into the Chinese entertainment industry, Anees has performed in five Chinese TV series and four Chinese films.

The Infinite Block, the third film he participated in, carries special importance as he plays the second lead role in it, Anees told China Economic Net (CEN). “In the film, I had this leading role as a foreign soldier, and it involved a lot of actions and fight scenes,” the Pakistan actor noted, “but I managed to finish the shooting even though I never learned kungfu.”
But lead roles do not come lightly, as per the Pakistani actor. Starting out as an aeronautics engineering student at a top university in Xi’an, Anees made the foray into the advertisement industry as a model upon graduation before venturing into the film industry with his first role in a Chinese documentary film.
“Before coming to China, I worked as a radio broadcaster RJ on FM 105 for three years where I started my media career,” he told CEN. His acting skills, he said, are self-taught and polished by practising scripts and filming and reviewing his own performance.
As for the Chinese scripts, Anees has to first have them translated to understand the scene and the role before transforming them into Pinyin, the romanisation system for Standard Mandarin Chinese, to recite the lines.
“Two of my latest works will also be released at the end of this year: one film and one TV series,” Anees excitedly shared with CEN. In the upcoming TV drama, he worked with Yang Shuo and Jiang Xin, two well-known Chinese actors with a large following in China.
Why are you playing dumb?
I wrote looking effeminate.
I am specifically asking for proof for your baseless claims that Lu Han, a frail girly man, is a woman's fantasy and what you called the "porn star look". I'm still waiting for your proof for both.
After you tried to deflect from your laughable claims, you then confirmed what I just said earlier. The whole flower boy entertainment exists to serve females.
Lots of men who try to look like these girly men are doing so to get female attention by adapting to what women want. We all know men do various adaptations to get women. Why are you playing dumb?
Men go to the gym, get nicer cars, get a better job, dress better, learn a musical instrument, become an athlete, clean their apartment, wear cologne, etc for girls.
Girly Justin Bieber looks masculine compared to a lot of these kpop types.
Does Justin Bieber wear lip stick? No.
Does he do gay fan service like this? https:// seoulbeats.com/2012/07/why-homoerotic-fanservice-is-just-not-okay/ and https:// seoulbeats.com/2012/07/why-homoerotic-fanservice-is-just-not-okay/ ? no
The girliest/gayest looking white guy you can came up with doesn't even reach the over the top homosexualness of the typical kpop type. BTW, when I say kpop, I'm not referring to only those from Korea. I'm referring to all these types like kpop, jpop, cpop, etc.
JF-17 Block IV confirmed delayed.

The only dumb person here is the one who doesn't understand that a niche fashion style tailored for a specific entertainment sector is not representative of the general population.
The idea that Chinese men aspire to look like flower boys is so laughably absurd and shows you have no clue what you're talking about.
Great news.
Furthermore, I strongly support a new flavor of Kpop from the sexiest Korean idol alive, Kim J.U. we can call it K-boom.
He does not like the older styles of Kpop.
Not a fan of Hollywood either.
Another strawman from Dr "Lu Han (117 lbs) is a female fantasy...he's got the porn star look".
You still haven't provided sources for any your baseless claims. It's really obvious why you keep dodging.
Do you understand that when I say "influence men to look more effeminate" it doesn't mean 100% of all men will do it?
Look around you. Whatever the popular culture pushes influences the general population.

Yet, you're telling me to believe that the kpop look (that is pushed constantly and everywhere across East Asian popular culture) has no effect somehow. Meanwhile, in the real world, I see young Asian men emulating this look consistently.
But what the hell do I know. Only people like me and the Chinese government think these girly male celebrities exert a large and negative influence on the nation.

Pay no attention to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. They are fools, unlike you, Dr "Lu Han (117 lbs) is a female fantasy...he's got the porn star look.".

ROFL!
You obviously have:
1) Reading comprehension problems.
Go back and read what I wrote. Did I say Lu Han had a "pornstar" look? No, I said it's the women's version of the pornstar look. You obviously lack the comprehension skills to notice the distinction. Both porn actresses and the flower boy look serve the fantasies of their audience. As in, neither are real.
2) A lack of critical thinking.
Quoting a UK article that claims some Chinese publication said something, that's hilarious. Because western media never twisted and quoted out of context Chinese publications. LMAO! How about you show us the original Chinese article instead?
Furthermore, you are the one claiming Chinese men were all turning into flower boys because some boy bands are popular. I don't see you backing that ridiculous claim with any sort of evidence.
Someone kindly provide a link where I can watch this Chinese sci-fi The Infinite Block. Is it worth watching or is it a dudPakistani actor shines in Chinese film industry
