《功夫熊猫》导演谈续集

《功夫熊猫》导演谈续集

Q:You know fans are dying to know whether there is a sequel.

A:It was the job of me and my co-director to make one film, the best way we knew how. Our goal was to make it a complete experience but we wanted to feel like the film had much history leading up to it and much history after it. If that means that audiences want there to be other stories from that world, then I suppose that is a good thing. I'm sure there will be other opportunities to tell Kung Fu Panda stories.

问：粉丝们都急切地想知道是不是还有续集？

答：我和我的同事之前的工作是做一部电影，而且尽可能地做好。我们想让这部片子感觉很完整，同时也让片子的前后剧情都有一定空间。如果观众们想继续看发生在那个世界的故事，我觉得是好事。我确定还有别的机会再讲《功夫熊猫》的故事。

Q:I heard a Kung Fu Panda series is up to six films, and is likely depending on the overall performance of the initial film's release. So are you sure now there is a sequel of Kung Fu Panda? If yes, do you have a time table? Or any progress can tell us?

A:I have no idea of any timetables. If the film continues to be a success then I suppose sequels will follow.

问：我听说《功夫熊猫》最多可能有六部，之后看电影的市场表现来具体定夺制作情况。你确定《功夫熊猫》会有续集吗？如果有的话，有时间表吗？现在有进展吗？

答：目前我还没有时间表。如果电影继续表现良好的话，我想续集也将会继续出现。

Q:Are you satisfied with the box office performance so far? What's your final prediction of the box office worldwide?

A:I think we are doing very well worldwide. I can't predict the outcome since there are so many factors contributing.

问：你对目前的票房情况满意吗？对全球最终总票房有预期吗？

答：我觉得现在全球票房表现很不错。因为影响因素太多，所以我也不能做出准确预测。

Q:A Chinese artist called Zhao Bandi who specializes in panda-related designs suggesting the film should be boycotted. On the controversy, Zhao's complaints has prompted a backlash online, some even questioned whether this is just a publicity stunt by the artist. And the film's opening was enthusiastically received in China. I know you study Chinese culture for years. What's your attitude to those kind of negative voice?

A:I suppose I try to take a zen approach to such negativity hoping that it will all work it self out in the end. I must trust the universe.

问：近期中国有个叫赵半狄的“行为艺术家”呼吁抵制《功夫熊猫》，不过舆论和网友对他不屑和认为他是作秀的居多。而且《功夫熊猫》在中国上映至今的反响非常好。我知道你研究了中国文化很多年，那你对目前中国有极少数抵制《功夫熊猫》的声音怎么看？

答：我觉得我要用禅意(译者按：指清空安宁的心)对待这些消极声音，我觉得这些声音会随时间逐渐消失的。我也相信大众(的判断力)。

Q:When Chinese audience watch Kung Fu Panda, they obviously enjoy it very much, but some of them also have a little thought: why Chinese can not make such a wonderful animated film ourselves?You know Chinese animated film do not develop well these years. lots of critics think them lack of imagination and technology. What's do you think? Any advice?

A:It is very hard to tell a good story. It is one of the hardest things in the world sometimes. I would suggest anyone who wants to to keep trying to find you own way of doing of things, your own way of telling a story. This is the lesson Po learns and this is the lesson we as filmmakers learned. That is how you can find success. That is the advice I give any filmmaker. Find your voice!

问：中国大多数观众都非常喜欢《功夫熊猫》，同时有一些人也会心底有一个想法：为什么中国人自己不能拍出这么好的动画片？你知道中国动画近些年发展不是很好，一些评论也认为中国动画业缺乏想象力和技术水准。你是怎么看的？有这方面建议吗？

答：讲一个好故事挺难的。有时这可能是世界上最难的事了。我会建议人们按照自己的方式来做，按你自己的方式来说故事。这是熊猫阿波从片中学到的，也是我们电影业者一路而来学到的。这就是你成功的方法。这也是我给电影业者们的建议，找到你自己的方式。

Q:Have you been to China? Which part of Chinese culture do you like? Which one is your favourite Chinese film?

A:I have not been to China but would love to visit. I love the art in China. It is very beautiful and inspiration to me. My favorite Chinese film would have to be Hero. It is a beautiful film.

问：你到过中国吗？对中国哪方面文化比较喜欢？最喜欢哪部中国电影？

答：我还没到过中国，但我非常想去中国。我喜欢中国的艺术，非常漂亮，也常启发我。我最喜欢的中国电影应该是《英雄》，拍得很美。

Q:In the end, thanks for the awesome film, I know years of hard work behind it. Any words want to say or share to crazy Chinese fans? Thanks! :)

A:Thank you all for liking the film! We would love to know what you liked an didn't like about it. Be awesome! And I'd love to know what the Chinese word for "Skadoosh!" is.

问：最后感谢你带来一部这么棒的片子，我知道背后有好多年的辛勤工作。有什么话想对中国粉丝说吗？谢谢。

答：非常感谢你们喜欢这部片子。我们也期望知道中国观众喜欢片中的哪些，不喜欢哪些。另外，大家都要牛起来！我也很想知道片中的“Skadoosh!”用中国话怎么说。
