约翰尼·德普：可能会来中国生活

　　In his first trip to China, actor Johnny Depp said he'd be willing to consider a move to the Middle Kingdom, citing the overwhelmingly warm reception from his fans.

　　美国演员约翰尼·德普(Johhny Depp)首次访问中国。他说，他愿意考虑移居这里，原因是粉丝极其热情。

　　Dozens of them swarmed a Beijing hotel Monday for a glimpse of the star armed with 'We love you Johnny Depp' signs as Mr. Depp arrived to drum up hype for his upcoming sci-fi thriller 'Transcendence . '

　　周一(3.30日)几十名粉丝涌入北京一家酒店，举着“约翰尼·德普我们爱你”的标牌，只为一瞥德普的风采。德普来到北京是为了宣传他即将上映的科幻惊悚片《超验黑客》(Transcendence)。

　　Among them were fans like Cai Kexin, 21, who traveled 16 hours by train from eastern coastal Zhejiang province just to be in the same room with the star. 'I cried when I found out he was getting engaged; I had to be here, ' said Ms. Cai, adding that she skipped class to be in Beijing with Mr. Depp. She and many others were delighted when Mr. Depp showed off a tattoo on his arm inspired by the I Ching, a Chinese classical text.

　　其中不乏21岁的蔡可欣(音)这样的粉丝。蔡可欣从华东的浙江省坐了16个小时的火车来到北京，只为了能与偶像共处一室。她说，我得知他要订婚时都哭了，我一定得来。她还说，她逃了课，只为了来北京看德普。德普展示了胳膊上根据中国经典《易经》绘制的纹身，这让蔡可欣和其他许多粉丝开心不已。

　　Mr. Depp said that while Hollywood has much to share with China, including its special effects and sci-fi expertise, American films can take lessons from China as well. 'The level of art, the eons of culture...I most assuredly believe that we can learn a lot from China, ' Mr. Depp said in reply to a question from China Real Time about Hollywood's attempts to appeal to the Chinese market.

　　德普说，好莱坞有很多东西可以与中国分享，包括特效和科幻技术，但美国电影也可以向中国学习。针对《中国实时报》提出的有关好莱坞试图吸引中国市场的问题，德普回答说，从艺术水平、文化传承上……我深信我们可以从中国学到很多东西。

　　'I could live here easily, ' he said, adding, 'It's a warm experience.'

　　他说，我可能会来这儿生活，并补充说，这是非常热情的体验。

　　Mr. Depp's China arrival comes as Hollywood is attempting to regain ground in the world's second-largest film market, where it's been losing market share. Up until 2012, Hollywood had the stronghold on the market, with 51% of total box office receipts. But last year that changed, with China's domestic films surging ahead to take in 12.7 billion yuan, or about 59% of total box-office receipts, according to consulting firm Artisan Gateway.

　　德普来到中国正值好莱坞试图夺回在这个世界第二大电影市场流失的份额。直到2012年，好莱坞影片一直牢牢占据着中国市场，在总票房收入中占到51%。但去年这种情况发生了变化，据咨询公司Artisan Gateway的数据，2013年中国本土影片遥遥领先，获得了人民币127亿元的票房收入，占总票房的59%。

　　The star of movies including the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' trilogy, Mr. Depp--who plays a terminally ill scientist in 'Transcendence'--is just the latest of Hollywood stars to fly to China to promote their films in person. Chris Evans, the lead actor in the upcoming film 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier, ' and Andrew Garfield, the star of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2, ' both stopped in Beijing last week on promotional tours.

　　曾主演《加勒比海盗》(Pirates of the Caribbean)三部曲等大片的德普此次在《超验黑客》中扮演一位病入膏肓的科学家。他也是最新一位亲身上阵前往中国宣传影片的好莱坞明星。《美国队长2：冬日战士》(Captain America: The Winter Soldier)的主演克里斯·埃文斯(Chris Evans)和《超凡蜘蛛侠2》(The Amazing Spider-Man 2)的主演安德鲁·加菲尔德(Andrew Garfield)上周都在北京进行了宣传活动。

　　Like Mr. Depp, other Hollywood stars who've lately made appearances in Beijing have also been keen to stress their affection for China. When Robert Downey Jr. visited last year for the opening of 'Iron Man 3, ' he attempted to bond with Chinese audiences by noting that he practices Chinese traditional medicine and has his own Chinese doctor.

　　与德普一样，最近在北京露面的其他好莱坞明星也热情地展示了他们对中国的喜爱之情。小罗伯特·唐尼(Robert Downey Jr.)去年来到中国出席《钢铁侠3》(Iron Man 3)的首映式时，他说自己吃中药，还有自己的中国医生，以此与中国观众拉近关系。

　　During the press briefing, the 51 year-old Mr. Depp entertained a gamut of questions from the Chinese media, ranging from 'How do you maintain your acting skills?' to 'Would you consider designing underwear?' (Mr. Depp said he hadn't previously considered underwear design, but that he thought he 'could do a good job.' He said he thought he'd be particularly skilled at designing women's shoes.)

　　在媒体见面会上，51岁的德普热情回答了中国媒体提出的各种问题，从“你是如何保持演技的?”到“你是否会考虑设计内衣?”(德普说他以前没考虑过设计内衣，但是他觉得自己“能行”。他觉得自己尤其擅长设计女鞋。)

　　Producers of 'Transcendence' are hoping the film's futuristic storyline, in which a scientist tries to create a machine with human emotions and intelligence, will resonate with Chinese audiences. 'It's totally conceivable that the next breakthroughs in artificial intelligence will come from China, so the story has a strong appeal and pull for Chinese audiences, ' said Dan Mintz, chief executive of Beijing-based DMG Entertainment, which financed and produced the film with Alcon Entertainment in Los Angeles.

　　《超验黑客》讲述了一位科学家试图制造一部拥有人类情感和智慧的机器，制片方希望故事中的未来元素能够引起中国观众共鸣。中国DMG印记娱乐传媒集团(DMG Entertainment)的首席执行长明茨(Dan Mintz)说，完全可以想像在人工智能研究方面取得下一步突破的将是中国，因此《超验黑客》将强烈吸引并博得中国观众的喜爱。DMG与美国艾肯娱乐(Alcon Entertainment)共同出资制作了这部影片。

　　The company is hoping to surpass their previous success with 'Iron Man 3, ' a co-production with Walt Disney Co. that became China's second highest-grossing film last year, with 755.2 million yuan ($121.6 million) in box-office sales. To target the Chinese market, they're planning a 3-D version of 'Transcendence' to be exclusively released in China, as well as a synced debut with the U.S. on April 18--a rare move , given high levels of concern about piracy among studios. DVDs made from in-theater videos frequently circulate the Chinese market and result in ticket losses.

　　DMG希望《超验黑客》能够超越此前它与华特-迪士尼公司(Walt Disney Co., DIS)联合出品的《钢铁侠3》。《钢铁侠3》大获成功，以人民币7.552亿元(合1.216亿美元)的票房收入成为去年中国票房第二高的影片。为了吸引中国观众，DMG准备在中国市场特别推出3D版《超验黑客》，而且4月18日影片会在美国和中国院线同步首映，这是罕见之举，因为电影制片商对盗版问题通常存在很深忧虑。往往新片一上映，中国市场就会出现在影院偷拍后翻录的枪版DVD，给影片票房造成损失。

　　A spokesman for DMG said the company was well aware of Mr. Depp's popularity in China, where 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was an audience favorite and where Disney Co. plans to open a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ride at its new Disneyland in Shanghai. Mr. Depp said he'd be more than willing to return for the opening of the 'Pirates' attraction.

　　DMG的一位发言人说，公司很清楚德普在中国的受欢迎度，他主演的《加勒比海盗》深受中国观众喜爱，华特-迪士尼已计划在上海新建的迪士尼乐园开设一个专门以加勒比海盗为主题的园区。德普说，他十分乐意到时候再来中国，出席该主题园区的开园仪式。

　　While Chinese fans like Ms. Cai have seen all of Mr. Depp's works, Mr. Depp said he avoids watching any of his movies and reading anything about himself. 'I stopped that a long time ago, ' he said, noting that he also steers clear of other most cinema. 'I prefer to remain ignorant, ' he said.

　　蔡可欣这样的中国影迷看过德普的所有作品，但德普却说他不看自己出演的任何电影或与自己有关的任何新闻。他说，我很早以前就不看这些了，而且远离影院，我更愿意什么都不知道。
