[雙語]橫店影視城 中國好萊塢？

   
'He's a visionary,' says Bill Kong, the Hong Kong-based producer of world-wide blockbusters 'Hero' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,' which were both shot in Hengdian. 'He's managed to turn a place in the middle of nowhere into the best studio in China.'
香港電影人江志強是電影《英雄》和《臥虎藏龍》(Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)的制片人，他說，徐文榮是一個有遠見的人，他成功地將一個默默無名的地方打造成了中國最好的影視城?！队⑿邸泛汀杜P虎藏龍》這兩部享譽世界的大片就都是在橫店拍攝的。
   
Hengdian's success has come on the back of China's booming film market, expected to become the world's second-biggest market, after the U.S., by 2012. Domestic box-office revenue surged 64% to $1.5 billion in 2010, while the number of theaters has doubled in the last four years to around 6,300.
橫店的成功與中國電影市場的繁榮發(fā)展是分不開的。中國有望在2012年之前成為僅次于美國的全球第二大電影市場。2010年中國國內票房收入激增64%，達到15億美元。在過去四年間，國內影院數量也增長了一倍，達到約6,300家。
   
Increasingly, Hengdian is featured in Hollywood co-productions hoping to cash in on both U.S. and Chinese markets, such as 'Mummy 3' and 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.'
如今，橫店越來越多地出現在那些希望從中國和美國兩大市場上獲利的好萊塢跨國合拍片中，例如《木乃伊3》(Mummy 3)和《雪花與秘扇》(Snow Flower and the Secret Fan)。
   
The studios also draw seven million tourists a year as a government-sanctioned 5A tourist destination. Extra entertainment comes in the form of aerial acrobatics, horse jousting and water stunts involving pirates.
作為國家5A級旅游景區(qū)，橫店影視城每年還吸引著七百萬游客。其它娛樂項目包括特技飛行表演、馬上比武以及有“海盜”現身的水上特技展示。
   
At night, for $23 , visitors can catch the 'The Largest Volcano Performance in the World' -- a dance extravaganza with fireworks, glow-in-the-dark figurines, fire breathers and simulated lava.
到了晚上，游客可以觀看“全球最大的火山實景演出”，票價23美元。這是一場盛大的舞蹈演出，其間融入了焰火、夜光塑像、火龍和模擬熔巖等元素。
   
Hengdian has its detractors. Some cast and crew members who have spent months in the remote town secretly call it 'Helldian,' for its lack of luxuries.
不過也有對橫店感到厭惡的人。由于缺乏舒適奢華的生活條件，有些在這個偏遠小鎮(zhèn)待過幾個月的劇組人員私下里把它叫做“Helldian”（意即地獄之店）。
