李连杰:不

李连杰:不 Lecture Three Interview CNN: Congratulations on “Hero”. I mean, is the part very similar to what you normally play? 李连杰：不，这是一部不同寻常的电影中的一个非常独特的角色，和我以往演过的角色都不 一样。可以说这是我最重要的动作片之一。 CNN: Why do you say that? You have made about 30 movies. How is this one different from the rest? 李连杰：通常的动作片都有这么一个模式：一个孩子的父母亲被杀，这个孩子从小习武，立 志报仇血恨。长大后他果然功夫超群，除掉坏蛋，为父母报仇。但《英雄》的题材则广博得 多。 CNN: Is it very similar to “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” for example? 李连杰：完全不同。我认为李安是个非常有才华的导演，他用武术来描写爱情。而张艺谋则 尝试用武术来描述中国文化，中国人的思想，以及他们期望的世界是什么样的。 CNN: That’s very deep. We know your first-ever movie was “Shaolin Temple” made in 1979 when you were still just a teenager. The movie was a huge hit in Asia and was followed by two sequels. Let me ask you, how did you move from being a martial arts champion to becoming a Hollywood action star? 李连杰：我认为最重要的原因还是我自幼习武，这是我的特长。我可以在电影里使用自己独 特的武打技巧。我也一直想做些与众不同的事，如通过武术来谈论和平，实现和平。 CNN: That almost sounds like a contradiction, right? You are a fighter here, and you talk about peace? 李连杰：对。其实中国文化并不只是武打功夫这些表面现象。中国人并不是都懂得武术，只 知道大人，没有思想没有大脑的。中国文化有很深的哲理，我觉得我有责任告诉世界。 Key: CNN: 祝贺《英雄》所取得的成功。请问您在《英雄》里扮演的角色是否与你通常演的角 色很相似呢？ 李连杰: It’s a very special part and a very special movie. I think it’s one of the most important action films in my life. CNN: 为什么你会这样说呢？你演过近30部电影，而《英雄》是如何与其他影片不同的呢？ 李连杰: Usually action films have a formula: A child whose parents have been murdered by the bad guys tries hard to learn martial arts and he grows up- into an outstanding kongfu master. He takes revenge and kills the bad guys. But “Hero” has a much broader theme. CNN: 就比如很像《卧虎藏龙》？ 李连杰: No, it’s totally different. I think Ang Lee is a very very talented director. He uses martial arts to talk about love and girls, you know, but Zhang Yimou tries to tell about Chinese culture, Chinese thinking and their hopes through martial arts. CNN: 含义的确很深。。我们知道您的处女作是1979年拍摄的《少林寺》，那时你还是个十几岁的少年。影片在亚洲引起了轰动，并且还加拍了两部续集。我想问的是，您是如何从一 位武术冠军成为一名好莱坞的动作明星的？ 李连杰: I think the most important thing is that when I was young, I learnt martial arts, that is my special key. I can use my unique martial arts skills in the film. But after a few years, I really want to do something different… like using martial arts to talk about peace and achieve peace. CNN: 这听起来似乎是矛盾的，对吗？您是一个打斗专家，但您却要谈“和平”？ 李连杰: That’s right, because Chinese culture is not just martial arts. That’s only the physical part. It’s not true that the Chinese people are all kongfu masters and can just beat up people; and that they have no brains, no thoughts. As a matter of fact, we have a deep, strong and sophisticated philosophy. I feel I have the responsibility to share this information with the worldwide audience.
