新闻周刊:电影《摘金奇缘》如何改变亚裔美国人在好莱坞的游戏规则(5)

“A few months later,” says Wu, “I was like, Well, let me just let him know how much I would put into the role.” She sent Chu an impassioned email, which went something like, “No hard feelings, obviously¹, if you still need to shoot in the fall. But if you can wait to shoot, I would be so excited to be a part of this.” (Chu recalls² another line: “If I didn’t write this email, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.”) He immediately pushed the shoot three months. “I just knew it was meant to be,” he says.

“数月之后，”吴恬敏表示，“我想让他知道我会为这个角色付出多少。”她给朱浩伟发了一封盛情洋溢的邮件，内容如下：“很明显，如果你想在秋天拍摄，那真的很遗憾。但如果可以延迟拍摄的话，我会非常开心参演这部电影。（朱浩伟回忆起另一件事：“如果我没有写这封邮件，我会后悔一辈子。”）他立即延迟拍摄三个月。“我就知道这是命中注定的，”他说。

Only box office will tell if Crazy Rich Asians will provide a springboard to more leading parts for Asian-Americans. But Wu is heartened by the alternative platforms offering more Asian-American content, including Netflix having great success with Aziz Ansari’s Master of None, as well as YouTube, which hosts web series like “Yappie,” from Wong Fu Productions.

只有票房才能告诉我们，《摘金奇缘》是否会为亚裔美国人进入更多领先领域提供一个跳板。但吴恬敏对其他提供更多亚裔美国人内容的替代平台感到振奋，包括通过阿兹·安萨里主演的《无为大师》已取得成功的网飞公司，还有主播网剧如华裔影片制作团队王夫制作的《雅痞》的播放视频网站优兔。

“Asian-Americans are not waiting around for permission; they are making their own content,” says Wu. “We don’t need to worry about the Hollywood gates, because we’re now making our own.”

“亚裔美国人不会等待批准；而是正在制作自己的内容，”吴恬敏表示。“我们无需担心好莱坞的大门，因为我们正在打造自己的大门。”
