星戰7沖破中國票房記載 Star Wars breaks Chinese box office records
China came late to Star Wars but arrived in a big waywhen the latest film in the series broke Chinese boxoffice records on Saturday, according to Walt Disney.
《星球大戰》(Star Wars)雖較晚上岸中國，但來勢洶洶。據迪士尼公司(Walt Disney)的數據，該系列片子的新作沖破了中國片子市場的周六票房記載。
Star Wars: the Force Awakens is the seventh movie in a franchise that has spanned decades.
《星球大戰：原力覺悟》(Star Wars: the Force Awakens)是星戰系列的第七部，該系列的上映時光超過了幾十年。
Disney said it did not have official box office results yet but estimated $33m in tickets were soldon Saturday, making it the highest opening for the company in China — and the highestSaturday opening in mainland cinema history.
迪斯尼表現還沒有獲得官方票房數據，但估量《原力覺悟》上周六票房達3300萬美元，創下了迪斯尼在中國的首日票房記載，也沖破了中國要地本地片子史的周六首映記載。
China is expected to become the world’s largest film market in the next two years. A strongperformance by Star Wars there will put it in a position to surpass Avatar as the top-grossingmovie ever released. Film market analysts have pointed out that the biggest films haveperformed similarly in China and the US in recent years.
中國有望在將來兩年內成為環球最大片子市場。憑仗在中國的強勁表示，《星球大戰》將超出《阿凡達》(Avatar)成為影史上最賣座的片子。片子市場剖析人士指出，比年來大制造片子在中國和美國的票房表示相似。
The mainland opening attracted large crowds, many of them aficionados of the series who hadfirst watched pirated copies of earlier films.
星戰7的要地本地首映吸引了大量觀眾，個中不乏很多星戰迷，他們旁觀前幾部星戰時看的都是盜版。
Hu Bin, a 30-year-old office worker in Shanghai, recalled relying on pirated discs and onlinewebsites to watch the Star Wars franchise. He was among the first viewers to watch the newfilm at a cinema in Shanghai. But he rated it “not as good as I thought”.
30歲的上海白領胡斌(音)回想，他是經由過程盜版光盤和在線網站旁觀星戰系列的。胡斌在上海一家片子院旁觀了這部星戰新作，是首批觀眾之一，但他的評價是“不如我想的那末好”。
Zhang Xiaobei, film critic for state broadcaster CCTV and a Star Wars fan, watched his firstmovie in the series in 1982. “The name itself brings back a lot emotion from our generation,” hesaid. “The early eighties was a time [in China] when people craved contact with the outsideworld, we were insatiably curious about western culture, and we were stunned after seeing thespecial effects, and the scope of the human imagination.”
官方的央視(CCTV)影評人張小北也是一位星戰粉，他於1982年看到了第一部星戰片子。他說：“片子名字自己就給咱們這代人帶回很多感嘆。八十年月早期那會兒，中國人盼望與外界打仗，咱們對西方文化非常好奇，當咱們看到星戰裏的殊效，和人類想象力的規模後，咱們被震動了。”
Zi Feiyu, independent film critic, said: “The Star Wars series has a group of diehard fans inChina, even though the old Star Wars series was never released in China.”
自力影評人子非魚說：“星戰系列在中國有大量死忠影迷，縱然老星戰系列從未在中國上映過。”
The country’s total box office take increased 49 per cent in 2015, according to state figures,generating $6.8bn in revenues. China is adding an average of 22 screens a day.
據官方數據表現，2015年中國總票房同比增加49%，收入達68億美元。中國的屏幕數目正以均勻天天22塊的速率增長著。
