2. 分组翻译讨论活动: (no time – will do this on Wed.)
组一:Riccardo, Liz, Bo
组二:Taylor, Ada
组三:   Emily, Phillip, Nitai
组四:   Colin, Edmund

a. 不同的电影有不同的观众。如果一部电影的定位是商业片,那只需要票房,这类电影的剧情比较简单,容易让大多数人接受,但往深了看只是场面很火爆,并不能给人以启发,联想。
b. 如果一部电影不是这样定位的,而是导演想表达自己的一些想法,那么票房并不是唯一的标准,毕竟社会上大多数看电影是为了放松,而不是去思考。但如果票房极其惨淡,那也是失败的,因为他没能够让足够多的人产生共鸣。
c. 没艺术价值的为什么票房那么高?其实票房高的电影也是有艺术价值的。表现在场景的宏伟,引人如胜的故事,和良好的电脑特效都是吸引票房的因素。
d. 真正好的有艺术价值的电影也不是没有票房的,虽然排不到第一,也是能排在比较靠前的位置。经过时间的淘洗,他们最后还是会被人记住。 (Accessed on 4/10/11 at http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/197518332.html.)

组四:   Colin, Liz

討論點:
1. 在国外,艺术类电影的生存空间相当大,比如在法国,观众较高的艺术素养就是艺术电影票房的保证。
2. 在国内,艺术片票房业绩不佳的现象继续延续。由于缺乏专门的艺术院线,艺术影片上映困难,导致投入产出资金周转不灵,艺术电影的制作数量减少。
3.  国外的艺术院线也会放映商业片,通过艺术风格较为鲜明或口碑较好的商业片带动观看。待市场培养起来,人群集聚多了,商业片所占比重就可以缩小。
4. 2009年,国产电影在类型上有了新的突破,也出现许多大成本的电影,电影的工业化转型进一步找寻市场。主流影片商业化,一些艺术个性很强的大导演放弃强烈的个人意识,面向市场拍片,希望成为卖座影片。
 5. 从国际方面看,国际大奖一向是对于电影艺术成就的认可。

  6. Different movies have different indented audiences. If it is a commercial film then it only needs box office acclaim. The story of these movies is relatively simply and easy for most people to comprehend. It is the depth that is most popular, not to give people enlightenment.

    If the movies orientation is not this, and the director would like to express a view of his own ideas, then the box office is not the only opinion that matters. After all the majority of society watches a movie to relax, and not to reflect and ponder. However if the box office is extremely dismal, this is also a failure because he wasn’t able to connect with a lot of people.

    Why was the value of the box office not that high? In fact high grossing box offices films are also of good quality. Displaying magnificent performances, introductions to the story, such as wins and good special effect are all included in box office success.

    Genuinely good films have artistic quality and are not without box offices success, although few become number one, they are able to be compared to the most popular movies. Through the wash of time passing, they will ultimately nevertheless be remembered

      在对重点嫌疑人,卖“羊肉粉”的刘结巴、送他回家的周小刚、突然出现在周小刚家的旧恋人李小萌一番追踪后,马山依旧没能理出任何头绪,而对李小萌的怀疑里,又混杂了极为复杂的感情,此又导致其妻怀疑他移情别恋。正在这时,李小萌在周小刚家被人用枪打死,马山作为嫌疑人被拘禁。经过一番冷静思考,他终于将乱麻捋顺,开始了寻枪之路。

Ma Shan knocks on Zhou’s door but is greeted by Li Xiaomeng, Ma’s former lover. After seeing her, Ma Shan is still not able to sort out any clues and becomes suspicious of her, this confusion (and possible obsession with Li Xiaomeng) causes his wife to think that he is being unfaithful. Suddenly, Li Xiaomeng was murdered with the missing gun and he became the prime suspect and was brought into custody. After some calm thinking, he finally began his search for his missing gun.

The next morning when he woke up, she found that the gun that never leaves his side has vanished without a trace. Consciously aware that whoever stole the gun can use the three bullets inside the gun to kill people, he couldn’t help but feel horrified. That evening, all the people that attended his sister’s wedding became the object of his suspicion.
    While re-examining the suspects, there is a man who sells mutton called Liu Jieba, and someone from his house called Zhou Xiaogang, suddenly Zhou Xiaogang’s old lover Li Xiaomeng pursued after, Mashan as before had no way whatsoever to find leads, and he had suspicion of Li Xiaomeng, and there was mixing in of extremely complicated emotions, and again this led to his wife suspecting of him falling in love with somebody else. At this time, Li Xiaomeng was at Zhou Xiaogang’s house where a person shot her, and Mashan was taken in as a suspect. After some calm thinking, he finally decided he was in a confusing situtation, and started looking for the gun.

  11. A. Different movies have different audiences. If a movie is a commercial one, than the only importance is box office performance. These types of movies have rater simple plots that are easy for the majority to accept, but after the movie is over, it is merely popular, and absolutely does not give people an enlightening experience or inspiration.

    B. If a movie isn’t this type, or if the director wants to express his ideas, than box office performance isn’t necessarily the sole criterion. After all, the majority of society sees movies in order to relax, and not to go ponder something. But if the box office success is extremely poor, the movie is still a failure because it did not get enough people to consider a response.

    C. If a movie has no artistic value, then why is the box office success so high? Actually, movies with good box office success indeed have artistic value. A movie that is very extravagant, with a story that wins people over and excellent special effects are all elements of box office success.

    D. Genuinely good artistic value movies don’t have poor box office results. Although it may not reach number one, it will still be in a relatively high spot. As time passes on, they finally remain in people’s memories.

  12. Ningtai, Chunhui, and Yujun

    c. 没艺术价值的为什么票房那么高?其实票房高的电影也是有艺术价值的。表现在场景的宏伟,引人如胜的故事,和良好的电脑特效都是吸引票房的因素。

    Why do less artistic films do so well at the box office? In truth, movies that perform well at the box office do have some artistic merit. Drawing people in with magnificent settings, compelling stories, and good special effects are all factors that lead to a successful box office performance.

  13. Bo and Liz

    A. Different movies have different audiences. If a movie is a commercial one, then the only importance is box office performance. These types of movies have rather simple plots that are easy for the majority to accept. But if you take a deeper look, it is merely popular, and certainly does not engage people or inspire them.

  14. b. If a movie was not positioned this way but instead in a way so the director can express some of his own feelings, then he is not aiming to have box office success. After all, majority of the people watch a movie to relax, not to think. If the movie did not have any box office success, however, it is still a failure because he did not allow enough people to develop sympathy.

  15. 耕林, 迪文

    Genuinely good films have artistic quality and are not without box offices success. Although few become number one, they are able to be compared to the most popular movies. Through the wash of time passing, they will ultimately nevertheless be remembered.

  16. Mashan is an ordinary police in a district bordering the southwest. One night, he went to his younger sister’s wedding banquet and got too drunk so someone had to take him home. The next day, we woke up to find that his gun has disappeared. Mashan is absolutely horrified about the possibility that whoever stole his gun will use it to murder someone. Everyone who was at his sister’s wedding banquet became a target suspect.
    Thoroughly thinking about the people who are most suspicious: Liu who sells sheep meat noodles, Zhou who took him home, and Zhou’s old lover who randomly appears at Zhou’s house, Li, Mashan still has no idea of who stole his gun. His suspicion towards Li, however, includes some very complicated feelings, which leads to his wife to think he has changed his affection. At the same time, Li was killed in Zhou’s house and Mashan was taken into custody as the suspect. After some reflection, he finally straightened out some confusing points and started the journey to search for the missing gun.

    1. 在国外,艺术类电影的生存空间相当大,比如在法国,观众较高的艺术素养就是艺术电影票房的保证。

    Abroad, the space in which art films survive is large. For example, in France, the audience’s debate about artistic achievement is an art film’s guarantee of good box office sales.

  22. 2009年,國產電影在類型上有了新的突破,也出現許多大成本的電影,電影的工業化轉型進一步找尋市場。主流影片商業化,一些藝術個性很強的大導演放棄強烈的個人意識,面向市場拍片,希望成為賣座影片。

    In 2009, Chinese movies had a breakthrough and produced a lot of high-budget movies. The industrialization of movies expanded China’s movie market. The mainstream movies were commercialized and led to artistic directors to give up their personal trademarks. They now are faced with filming for the market in hope of producing a successful box office film.

    2. 在国内,艺术片票房业绩不佳的现象继续延续。由于缺乏专门 的艺术院线,艺术影片上映困难,导致投入产出资金周转不灵,艺术电影的制作数量减少。

    Within the country, artistic films’ poor box office performance is seen as a bad ongoing phenomenon. Due to lacking specialized artistic variation, artistic films have difficulties getting screened. This leads to producers putting their own money into funding films, but it’s not enough. The number of artistic films being produced is falling.
