我的母亲是位语文老师,她爱好文学,家里自然有成堆的好书。但我既不感兴趣于各种小说,也不着迷于其他文学作品,只在这座书山中捡了一块不起眼的“石头”——《金像背后》。
My mother is a Chinese teacher. She likes literature. There are lots of good books at home. But I am not interested in all kinds of novels, nor in other literary works. I just picked up a humble "stone" in this book mountain - "behind the golden statue".
《金像背后》为李元所着,它以丰富的资料介绍了西方科幻片的盛衰、恐怖片的离奇、伦理片的时兴、好莱坞三代人的演变、着名影星的生活与爱情……它象一扇窥视西方影视界的窗口,使我在获得广泛电影知识的同时,也看到了西方社会五颜六色的怪现状在银屏上的种种反应映。
Behind the golden statue is written by Li Yuan. It introduces the rise and fall of Western sci-fi films, the strangeness of horror films, the popularity of ethical films, the evolution of Hollywood three generations, the life and love of famous movie stars with rich materials It's like a window to peep at the western film and television industry, which makes me not only gain a wide range of film knowledge, but also see the various reactions of the colorful and strange current situation of the western society on the screen.
在这本书中,我了解到西方科幻片从鼎盛到衰落的历程,认识了科幻小说的两大鼻祖——凡尔纳和威尔斯,懂得了神话与科幻的根本区别;看到了西方文明的畸形儿——恐怖片,明白了西方很多人为什么花钱去寻恐怖、心甘情愿地去担惊受怕的原因;窥见了西方社会在传统的有规律的生活节奏里、在和谐幸福的假象背后隐藏着的尖锐的矛盾。传统的伦理观念已经淡泊,人与人之间的相互理解、体贴的可贵感情已经相当程度的丧失;银幕上的西方政治事件让我感到触目惊心;漫话美国戏剧片使我对卓别林有了更深刻的认识;今日好莱坞三代人的生活,使我懂得了资本主义生产决定于利润。带着文化与技术双重性质的电影工业和电影文化都受到资本主义必然规律的制约,它的前途是暗淡的,无论什么人、什么力量,都无法挽救它必然衰退的命运;在金像背后,隐藏了形形色色的内幕;英格丽·褒曼和费文·利两位影星的自传,燃起了我的影星梦。
In this book, I have learned the course of Western science fiction from its prosperity to its decline, I have known two great originators of science fiction, Verne and wells, and I have learned the fundamental difference between myth and science fiction; I have seen the deformity of Western civilization, horror films, and I have learned the reasons why many people in the West spend money to find terror and willingly take fright; I have seen the western society There will be sharp contradictions hidden behind the illusion of harmony and happiness in the traditional regular rhythm of life. The traditional ethics has been indifferent, and the valuable feelings of mutual understanding and consideration between people have been lost to a considerable extent; the western political events on the screen make me feel shocking; the rambling American drama makes me have a deeper understanding of Chaplin; the life of three generations of Hollywood today makes me understand that capitalist production is determined by profits. The film industry and film culture with the dual nature of culture and technology are restricted by the inevitable laws of capitalism. Its future is bleak. No matter who or what strength, it can't save its inevitable decline. Behind the golden statue, there are all kinds of inner scenes. The Autobiography of Ingrid Bergman and fewin Lee ignited my movie star dream.
我从小着迷于科幻电影,于是在得到这本书时,便如获至宝、欣喜若狂地读起来。在我漫游了那向往已久的神秘世界后,存于心中的迷团一个个被解开。我不仅对科幻片产生的背景、科幻片的制作及其所产生的社会效应有了深入的了解,还了解到了一个令人吃惊的事实:我国虽有几十万“科幻迷”,但从事科幻影视的却不足十人,年产科幻片还不到一部。总产科幻片12部,有十部还是翻译的。科幻片创作史也极为短暂,从二十世纪七十年代到八十年代初便销声匿迹了。这与西方科幻片制作者数以万计、年产科幻片数十部的现实比起来,真是九牛一毛,让人感到寒酸。因此,我便立志要从事科幻影视业,用我们自己的科幻片来填补那数以万“科幻迷”的脑海,从而展示我国工业、文化的发展。
I was fascinated by science fiction movies when I was a kid, so when I got this book, I read it like a treasure. After I roamed the mysterious world that I have been yearning for for for a long time, the mysteries in my heart were solved one by one. I not only have a deep understanding of the background, production and social effects of science fiction films, but also a surprising fact: Although there are hundreds of thousands of "science fiction fans" in China, there are less than ten people engaged in science fiction films and TV programs, and the annual production of science fiction films is less than one. There are 12 sci-fi movies in total, ten of which are translated. The history of science fiction creation is also extremely short, which disappeared from the 1970s to the early 80s. Compared with the reality that tens of thousands of Western sci-fi producers produce dozens of sci-fi films per year, it's really a drop in the bucket and makes people feel shabby. Therefore, I am determined to engage in science fiction film and television industry, and use our own science fiction films to fill the minds of tens of thousands of "science fiction fans", so as to show the development of industry and culture in China.
我爱书,尤其喜爱《金像背后》这本书,因为它是我志向的转折点,是我新的起跑线。虽然它在我家书山中不过是块不起眼的“石头”,但它将成为我实现理想的里程碑。
I love books, especially behind the golden statue, because it is the turning point of my ambition and my new starting line. Although it is just a stone in my book mountain, it will become a milestone for me to realize my ideal.
