Chinese Reacts to Mr. Robot Whiterose Speaking Chinese

[@hueypautonoman]

It was so funny how my guy just magically appeared to say the name in Cantonese. 😆

[@The_Gallowglass]

She should give him a raise. Oh...wait. Heheheheh

[@JasonPangDotCom]

Who is he? Does he have a channel?

I love your shorts and think you’re a brilliant comedian - it’s so nice to see another dimension to who you are. Excellent.

[@mikecaetano]

Mr. Robot was a great show. It was ahead of its time. B.D. Wong should have gotten an award for his work in it. Your analysis shows what a great job he did in two languages. The character he played, Whiterose, was somewhat affected, and somewhat evil too as that last clip showed. So that might also explain some of the stilted melodramatic speech.

[@AlsoDave]

Great video! Just to note, "6 feet under" (or 2 meters lol) is not referring to the underworld but specifically the burial depth of the body. It's a more morbid way of saying "he is buried here".

[@briandinosaur8335]

I'm glad you're reacting to this show. Chinese aside, it's an amazing show, and you should totally watch it when you have the time.

I wish Lee would instantly materialise beside me every time I needed to correctly pronounce Cantonese names/phrases lol

I Love Chinese With Jessie This Make Me Very Happy ❤️💯✨

[@aag180]

I love the way that Cantonese and Mandarin sound!

[@cactustactics]

Aww I always enjoy when it's like "good job, actor!" BD Wong's character is meant to be a Chinese national, yeah. I'm being intentionally vague because spoilers, and this was a cool and kinda surreal show that's not really a straightforward narrative - worth watching if you're into that! I'm enjoying these vids more now I'm actively learning Chinese a little too, training my ears on the tones and all that. The "yue" explanation is great! I think the wildest thing for me was opening a pinyin chart and seeing how many distinct sounds there were (before even getting into tones), so seeing how they're made is a big help in distinguishing them. Shoutout to the sudden wild Lee appearance!

[@brunohenriqueazevedoborges5490]

0:33 That is particular for that character, and it is deliberate. She is a transgender woman, but didn't do transition hormones, so her body is still full on masculine. She is the prime minister in China, but it is her previous male identity, Zhi Zhang. She masquerades as "he" when on the "Prime Minister" persona, but switches to her true side, "Whiterose", when in close quarters with people she trusts or believes she has complete control over their actions.

Teacher Jessie I really want to learn Mandarin, i really love all of ur videos and I am learning a lot from you 😊

[@QuizmasterLaw]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING YUE that sound is soooooo difficult for me (anglos), it's not merely the spelling, it's also tough using zhuyin! Seriously, no one else seems to have explained this sound combination, certainly not so well as you! 感谢您！！

[@受活]

I am a Chinese script writer .It is not even Chinese lines .It's English lines directly translate into the Chinese. Modern Mandarin is very efficient. We will omit the subject and attribute. Get to the point.if it is Chinese line here, transelate into English directly would be like "It seems he prefers Ecoin. (sign) Fussy man . Start the second plan. "

[@ACN617]

Jessie you should get this video to people who worked on the show so you can get hired for this kind of information

[@doloresdebeauvoir4960]

I love Whiterose and she's my role model (I am a Chinese trans woman!) but in my opinion if I remember correctly BD Wong knows how to speak Cantonese and he really should've spoken Cantonese during the show, even though I do understand why the crew wants him to speak Mandarin (because that's the official language of PRC).

[@thosebeyondgod]

Whiterose is my favorite Mr Robot character but she’s evil af

[@spectator4786]

Your skin is flawless 真心的.

[@kevintipcorn6787]

Love the easter eggs in Mr. Robot. The silly pun name on the grave of the CEO at the start of the second example cracks me up every time. I'm surprised with the attention to detail in even the smallest props and background images that there was still so much for you to work with here. Whiterose was born and raised in China in the story, but using idioms from America like "6 feet under" seems to fit with her character in circumstances like this. It can't explain away the other things you point out though.

You should review the Mandarin in the Spiderman video game (2018). It's interesting 😅

Hello :) I'm also from China 👩🏻

[@yogibear2k220]

Because I am ignorant and only (and barely,) speak English, I always used to think that Japanese and Chinese were the same language. They look very similar when written down and sound similar when spoken. I had a friend who was learning Japanese and he was saying that some characters from both languages look the same but mean different things in the differing languages. I never knew if this was true or not though. But is there really a Chinese language or is it really called something else, like Mandarin (nice oranges,) or something. I was never good at learning languages. I too French for 3 years, and I remember about 3 words! Still trying to speak native English at 53! Thanks, though Jessie! You are an amazing teacher for people with the brains to be able to learn other languages! I will stick with your shorts (pardon the pun!)

[@loislindsay]

Hi Jessie, love your videos. 谢谢你给我们学中文。Have a nice day!

[@ReezeGoingSenseless]

super interesting.

[@operatorlink]

Can tell that bd Wong isn't a native mandarin speaker but they have many native mandarin speakers on the show like the actor for his younger self and white rose's female assistant in season 4

[@loxi9]

Not a single person in that show spoke mandarin well. It was the most puzzling thing ever.

[@xyttra]

The change in voce pitch is definitely intentional. The character is a transgender female and has 2 personas, one male and one female. The male persona is called Mr. Zhang and female persona is called Whiterose. He's talking to someone on the phone as Mr. Zhang but with the person standing next to her, she can talk as her truer self, with a higher pitch.

[@saneuteuregardepas5742]

I think you are really (too?) nice to these actors, everytime I hear them TRYING to speak mandarine, I feel so uncomfortable. I do like DB Wong but in this case his character is supposed to be a China minister : we do hear China's officials speaking with accent but DB Wong clearly does not speak mandarine natively, it sounds odd, it takes me totally out of it. BTW Mr Robot is an excellent show.

[@andynystrom1519]

Mr. Robot is a great series about hacktivism, with an unusual main character. Best watched going in knowing as little as possible in advance.

[@CorrosiveCitrus]

The reason for her pitch change being so drastic is because whiterose's character is transgender. She was speaking in a masculine voice on the phone as her alterego and chinese minister of state security. She switches to her feminine voice when she speaks as herself/whiterose regardless of language she uses. And yeah, Whiterose is supposed to be a native Mandarin speaker, but ofc the actor wasn't :)
