Meaning:
Literally, “青铜” means “bronze,” and “王者” means “king.” While the former represents the lowest-rank players in popular online game “Honor of Kings,” the latter represents the highest-rank players. Therefore, these two terms are often used as metaphors for “rookie” and “master.”
Example:
A: 你和小李打过羽毛球吗？
Nǐ hé xiǎolǐ dǎ guò yǔmáoqiú ma？
Have you ever played badminton with Xiaoli?
B: 没有，他又瘦又矮，不怎么厉害吧。
Méiyǒu ，tā yòushòu yòuǎi，bù zěnme lìhài ba。
No. He’s thin and short, and I don’t think he will be good at it.
A: 错了。我以为他是个青铜，没想到他是王者。
Cuò le。Wǒ yǐwéi tā shì ge qīngtóng，méi xiǎngdào tā shì wángzhě。
Then you are wrong. I thought he would be a lousy player, but it turns out he is a master.
