Advanced - 金马奖 Film Festivals(E3028) A:
快过年了，各行各业的年终总结，评奖评优又快开始了，你们电影圈儿 怎么说？ kuài guònián le， gèhánggèyè de niánzhōng zǒngjié， píng jiǎng píng yōu yòu kuài kāishǐ le， nǐmen diànyǐng quānr zěnme shuō？ It's almost Chinese New Year and businesses in every industry are settling their accounts for the year. Performance assessments will start soon too. What do you think of the performance in the cinema arena?
B:
咱们华人电影界啊，有三大电影颁奖盛典，一个是大陆电影金鸡百花奖 ，一个是香港电影金像奖，还有一个就是台湾的金马奖。 zánmen huárén diànyǐngjiè ā， yǒu sān dà diànyǐng bānjiǎng shèngdiǎn， yī gè shì dàlù diànyǐng jīnjībǎihuājiǎng， yī gè shì Xiānggǎng diànyǐng jīnxiàngjiǎng， háiyǒu yī gè jiùshì Táiwān de jīnmǎjiǎng。 In the Chinese-language film sector in which we work, there are three big film awards. The first is the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in China, another is the Hong Kong Film Awards, and then there is the Taiwanese Golden Horse Awards.
A:
喔，对了，今年金马奖最意外的惊喜就是最佳女主角奖项，竟然是由同 一部电影的两位女主同时摘得！ ō， duìle， jīnnián jīnmǎjiǎng zuì yìwài de jīngxǐ jiùshì zuìjiā nǚ zhǔjué jiǎngxiàng， jìngrán shì yóu tóngyī bù diànyǐng de liǎng wèi nǚzhǔ tóngshí zhāidé！ Oh, yes. The biggest surprise at this year's Golden Horse Awards was the best actress category. It turned out that it got jointly awarded to two female leads in the same film!
B:
对《七月与安生》，我个人也蛮欣赏陈可辛导演的这部电影的，金马奖 总是惊喜连连！ duì 《 qīyuè yǔ ānshēng》， wǒ gèrén yě mán xīnshǎng Chén Kěxīn dǎoyǎn de zhè bù diànyǐng de， jīnmǎjiǎng zǒngshì jīngxǐliánlián！ I really liked "Soul Mates", the film directed by Chen Kexin. The Golden Horse Awards are always full of surprises!

A:
在我印象中，台湾的金马奖还是很有看点的，它的历史也比较悠久。 zài wǒ yìnxiàng zhōng， Táiwān de jīnmǎjiǎng háishì hěnyǒu kàndiǎn de， tā de lìshǐ yě bǐjiào yōujiǔ。 In my view, Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards are really worth watching. The history of the awards is also really long.
B:
没错，金马奖自一九六二年创办以来，已经有五十多年的历史了，当时 是为了促进电影制作事业，对优良的电影及优秀的电影工作者提供的一 项竞赛奖励。 méicuò， jīnmǎjiǎng zì yījiǔliùèrnián chuàngbàn yǐlái， yǐjīng yǒu wǔshíduō nián de lìshǐ le， dāngshí shì wèile cùjìn diànyǐng zhìzuò shìyè， duì yōuliáng de diànyǐng jí yōuxiù de diànyǐng gōngzuòzhě tígōng de yī xiàng jìngsài jiǎnglì。 That's right. From their founding in 1962, the Golden Horse Awards have already been around for over 50 years. At the time they were aimed at boosting the film production industry, to reward excellent films and excellent film workers.
A:
金马奖名字的由来是什么呢？创办那一年是农历马年吗？ jīnmǎjiǎng míngzi de yóulái shì shénme ne？ chuàngbàn nà yī nián shì nónglì mǎnián ma？ What is the origin of the name Golden Horse? Was it the Year of the Horse the year it was founded?
B:
非也，金马二字呢，取自金门、马祖两个地名的首字，这样的取名也符 合全球主要影展界以金字招牌为号召的潮流。 fēi yě， jīn mǎ èr zì ne， qǔ zì jīnmén、 mǎzǔ liǎng gè dìmíng de shǒu zì， zhèyàng de qǔ míng yě fúhé quánqiú zhǔyào yǐngzhǎn jiè yǐ jīn zì zhāopái wèi hàozhào de cháoliú。 No. the two characters "Jinma" meaning "Golden Horse", come from the first characters of the placenames Jinmen and Mazu. Forming the name in this way fits with the international convention of film festivals using "golden" in their names.
A:
金马奖从创办之初到现在，好像每个阶段都有自己独特的风格，始终都 是百花争妍、好不热闹。 jīnmǎjiǎng cóng chuàngbàn zhīchū dào xiànzài， hǎoxiàng měige jiēduàn dōu yǒu zìjǐ dútè de fēnggé， shǐzhōng dōushì bǎihuāzhēngyán、 hǎobù rènào。

From its founding up to now, the Golden Horse Festival has always had its own unique style. With great gems in great numbers, it's really very exciting.
B:
没错，金马奖创办之初，主要以电懋和邵氏两大电影公司的作品为主， 出现了李翰祥这样家喻户晓的大明星和李行这样的大导演。 méicuò， jīnmǎjiǎng chuàngbàn zhīchū， zhǔyào yǐ diànmào hé shàoshì liǎng dà diànyǐng gōngsī de zuòpǐn wéizhǔ， chūxiàn le Lǐ Hànxiáng zhèyàng jiāyùhùxiǎo de dà míngxīng hé Lǐ Xíng zhèyàng de dà dǎoyǎn。 That's right. When the Golden Horse Awards were founded, they mainly awarded the works of the Dian Mao Film Company and the Shaw Brothers Studio. That's when household names like Li Han-hsiang appeared as well as big directors like Li Hsing.
A:
对对对，李行导演这次还为获得终身成就奖的编剧張永祥颁奖呢，他们 可是好拍档！ duì duì duì， lǐxíng dǎoyǎn zhè cì hái wèi huòdé lifetime achievement award de biānjù zhāngyǒngxiáng bānjiǎng ne， tāmen kě shì hǎo pāidàng！ Yes, yes, Li Hsing also presented the lifetime achievement award to screenplay writer Chang Yung-hsiang. They were really good partners!
B:
是啊，很感动，话说回来，到下一个阶段，就成了琼瑶电影大放光彩的 时代。 shì a， hěn gǎndòng， huàshuōhuílai， dào xià yī ge jiēduàn， jiù chéng le qióngyáo diànyǐng dà fàng guāngcǎi de shídài。 Yes, it's really moving. Speaking of that, the next stage was the lustrous era of Chiung Yao's films.
A:
我记得《烟雨蒙蒙》、《婉君表妹》、《庭院深深》等电影，横扫了当 时金马奖的各大奖项。 wǒ jìde 《 yānyǔméngméng》、 《 wǎnjūnbiǎomèi》、 《 tíngyuànshēnshēn》 děng diànyǐng， héngsǎo le dāngshí jīnmǎjiǎng de gèdà jiǎngxiàng。 I remember films like "Fire and Rain", "Four Loves" and "You Can't Tell Him", and they swept the board at the Golden Horse Awards at the time.
B:
没错，琼瑶电影的热播，也成就了秦汉、秦祥林、林青霞、林凤娇等电 影明星，出现了人们口中所说的“二秦二林”时代。

méicuò， qióngyáo diànyǐng de rèbō， yě chéngjiù le Qín Hàn、 Qín Xiánglín、 Lín Qīngxiá、 Lín Fèngjiāo děng diànyǐng míngxīng， chūxiàn le rénmen kǒu zhōng suǒ shuō de“ èr Qín èr Lín” shídài。 That's right, the wave of Chiung Yao films saw the success of movie stars including Chin Han, Charlie Chin, Brigitte Lin and Joan Lin - the dawn of what they called the era of the two Chins and the two Lins.
A:
哇，那是我妈妈那代人最爱的大明星呢！ wā， nà shì wǒ māma nà dài rén zuìài de dà míngxīng ne！ Wow, those are the most beloved stars from my mother's generation!
B:
对啊，那再到后来，金马奖上又出现了很多思想前卫、表现大胆的新浪 潮电影，侯孝贤的《悲情城市》、杨德昌的《牯岭街少年杀人事件》是 其中的代表。 duìa， nà zài dào hòulái， jīnmǎjiǎng shàng yòu chūxiàn le hěn duō sīxiǎng qiánwèi、 biǎoxiàn dàdǎn de xīnlàngcháo diànyǐng， Hóu Xiàoxián de 《 bēiqíngchéngshì》、 Yáng Déchāng de 《 gǔlǐngjiēshàoniánshārénshìjiàn》 shì qízhōngde dàibiǎo。 Yeah, then after that, there were the avant garde and bold New Wave films, such as the representative works, Hou Hsiao-hsien's "A City of Sadness" and Edward Yang's "A Brighter Summer's Day".
A:
之后就是港片辉煌的时代了对不对，周润发、成龙、杜琪峰、王家卫、 周星驰等不同风格的电影，让金马奖刮起了一股香港风潮。 zhīhòu jiùshì gǎngpiàn huīhuáng de shídài le duìbùduì， Zhōu Rùnfā、 ChéngLóng、 Dù Qífēng、 Wángjiāwèi、 Zhōu Xīngchí děng bùtóng fēnggé de diànyǐng， ràng jīnmǎjiǎng guā qǐ le yī gǔ Xiānggǎng fēngcháo。 After that was the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, no? Including the various styles of film by directors such as Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan, Johnnie To, Wong Kar-wai and Stephen Chow. This led to a Hong Kong trend at the Golden Horse Awards.
B:
是啊，其中梁朝伟三次夺得最佳男主角桂冠，张曼玉四夺最佳女主角， 成为当之无愧的金马王和金马女皇。 shì a， qízhōng Liáng Cháowěi sān cì duódé zuìjiā nánzhǔjué guìguān， Zhāng Mànyù sì duó zuìjiā nǚ zhǔjué， chéngwéi dāngzhīwúkuì de jīnmǎ Wáng hé jīnmǎ nǚhuáng。 Yeah, amid this Hong Kong trend, Tony Leung won best actor three times and Maggie

Cheung won best actress four times, making them deserving of the title King and Queen of the Golden Horse Awards.
A:
真希望能在这些优秀演员隐退以前看到他们更多更精彩的表演。 zhēn xīwàng néng zài zhèxiē yōuxiù yǎnyuán yǐntuì yǐqián kàndào tāmen gèng duō gèng jīngcǎi de biǎoyǎn。 I really hope to see more brilliant performances from these actors before they retire from the silver screen.
B:
我也十分期待！ wǒ yě shífēn qīdài！ I hope so too!
