  • Before "Avengers: Endgame", the world's most successful film this year had been a Chinese science-fiction epic, "Wandering Earth".
  • 在《复仇者联盟:终局之战》之前,今年全球最成功的电影是中国科幻史诗电影《流浪地球》。
  • But it owed this mainly to its popularity at home.
  • 但这主要归功于这部电影在自己国家的受欢迎程度。
  • By the end of its American cinema release less than 1% of its revenues came from the American box office.

  • Celina Horan, a Chinese-American actor, speaks with authority about the two film markets.

  • Educated in Hong Kong and at the London School of Economics, she is fluent in Cantonese, English and Mandarin.
  • 卢靖姗曾就读于香港中小学,大学就读于伦敦政治经济学院,她精通粤语、英语和普通话。

  • Two years ago Hollywood producers sought projects that would work in both America and China, she says.
  • 她表示两年前,好莱坞制片人正在寻找既能在美国又能在中国上映的影片。
  • That might involve adding a Chinese actress to an American blockbuster in a "decorative role".
  • 这可能要在美国大片中加入一位中国女演员扮演“装饰性角色”。
  • Now her American meetings are "all about China".
  • 如今卢靖姗在美国参加的会议都“与中国有关”。
  • By this she means co-productions using American know-how, but squarely aimed at Chinese audiences.
  • 她指的是使用美国技术、但直接面向中国观众的合拍片。
  • The actress would not mourn if Hollywood were to drop projects crafted to appeal to all cultures, and offend in none.
  • 如果好莱坞放弃那些旨在吸引所有文化的项目,并且不冒犯任何文化,这位女演员就不会如此哀叹。
  • She compares the approval process for such films to dipping the same tea bag in ten cups, then drinking from the last.
  • 她将这类电影的审批过程比作把同一个茶包泡在10个杯子里,然后从最后一个杯子里喝下去。
  • On the Chinese side, she sees studios growing less anxious about foreign success: "Why serve the global market when there's so much demand here?"
  • 在中国方面,她看到电影公司对海外成功的担忧有所减轻:“若中国电影市场需求如此之大,为何还要为全球市场服务?”
