The Chinese film market has shown robust recovery momentum, with the total box office earnings for 2023 exceeding 54.91 billion yuan (over $7.75 billion).2023年,中国电影市场展现出强劲的复苏势头,总票房收入超过549.1亿元人民币(超过75亿美元)。The figure is lower than the record highs of over 60 billion yuan in 2019 and 2018, but close to the level in 2017, making it the fourth-highest annual box office in Chinese film history.2023年的总票房收入不敌2019年和2018年的水平,该两年总票房收入均超过600亿元人民币,为历史最高水平,但接近2017年水平,在中国电影年度票房排行榜上排名第四。Data released by the China Film Administration on Monday showed that nearly 1.3 billion tickets were sold throughout the year.国家电影局1月1日发布的数据显示,全年售出的电影票数量接近13亿张。Domestic productions have generated over 46 billion yuan in box office revenue, accounting for 83.77 percent of the national total.国产影片为总票房贡献了460.05亿元,占比为83.77%。The top 10 spots on the box office chart were dominated by domestic titles, with suspense comedy "Full River Red" ranking first, followed by sci-fi blockbuster "The Wandering Earth II" and crime drama "No More Bets" in the second and third place.票房排名前10位均为国产影片,悬疑喜剧《满江红》排名第一,其次是科幻大片《流浪地球II》和犯罪剧情片《孤注一掷》,分别排在第二和第三位。Zhi Feina, a professor with the Chinese National Academy of Arts, noted that domestic films this year saw a noticeable improvement in quality as they reflect traditional Chinese culture and real life, emotionally relating to the audience.中国艺术学院教授智飞娜指出,今年国产影片在质量上有明显提高,电影反映了传统的中国文化和真实生活,与观众产生情感共鸣。Looking back on the year, box office performance during key movie-going seasons stood out, including the Spring Festival and summer holidays.过去一年,电影在春节和暑假在内的关键档期表现出色。Over the past year, a good number of young Chinese filmmakers, actors, and screenwriters have emerged as an important force behind the growth of the industry.在过去的一年里,许多年轻的中国电影制片人、演员和编剧成为推动行业增长的重要力量。According to experts, their works have shown great promise and potential.专家表示,他们的作品展现出巨大的潜力和发展前景。Director Guo Fan and his team behind the smash hit "The Wandering Earth" franchise have worked tirelessly to put Chinese science fiction on the big screen. The team that produced the animated feature "Chang An" have worked to represent the life of the "Immortal Poet" Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The action movie "Born to Fly" offers a dramatic depiction of China's elite pilots testing new fighter jets.郭帆导演及其团队孜孜以求,推出了《流浪地球》系列影片,引起热烈反响,为银幕贡献了中国式科幻电影。动画电影《长安十二时辰》背后的主创团队力求再现唐代“诗仙”李白的生活。动作电影《长空之王》生动讲述了中国精英飞行员试飞新型战斗机的故事。"The stories are told in a relatable yet energetic way," commented one netizen.一位网友评论说:“这些电影能引起观众共鸣,同时又令人心潮澎湃。”"I can't wait to watch the next installation of 'The Wandering Earth,'" said another.另一位观众则表示:“想看下一部《流浪地球》,等不及啦!”As a medium for cultural exchange, the film industry has played a crucial role in promoting communication and mutual learning between various civilizations.作为文化交流的媒介,电影产业在促进各种文化的交流互鉴中,发挥着重要作用。Over the past year, imported blockbusters featuring diverse genres have enriched China's film market, while an array of domestic productions that "went global" have amazed foreign audiences with the charm of Chinese culture.过去一年里,我国引进了多种类型的国际大片,丰富了国内电影市场,而一系列“走出去”的国产电影,依托中国文化的魅力,惊艳了不少外国观众。The sci-fi hit "The Wandering Earth II" and the epic mythological masterpiece "Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms" hit the big screens in various countries.热门科幻电影《流浪地球II》和史诗神话巨制《封神第一部:朝歌风云》在海外多国上映。Domestic productions such as "Hidden Blade," "One and Only," and "Lost in the Stars" also graced overseas cinemas.包括《无名》、《热烈》和《消失的她》等在内的国产影片也亮相海外影院。In addition, China hosted Chinese film festivals or exhibitions in countries like Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, and Russia in 2023, enabling foreign filmmakers to understand Chinese films in-depth.此外,2023年中国在肯尼亚、南非、尼日利亚和俄罗斯等国举办了中国电影节或电影展,帮助外国制片人更加深入地了解中国电影。China unveiled the inaugural Golden Panda Awards last year, which honor global film, TV, documentary, and animation achievements, demonstrating efforts to expand cinematic exchanges between China and the rest of the world.金熊猫奖于去年首次颁,用于表彰全球电影、电视、纪录片和动画的成就,展示了我国在扩大国产和海外电影交流方面的努力。Relatable英/rɪˈleɪ.tə.bəl/ 美/rɪˈleɪ.t̬ə.bəl/adj. 能够引起共鸣的Golden Panda Awardsn. 金熊猫奖Box officen. 票房

Essays on speculative/science fiction explore the futures that feed our most cherished fantasies and terrifying nightmares, while helping diverse communities devise new survival strategies for a tough millennium. The explosion in speculative/science fiction (SF) across different media from the late twentieth century to the present has compelled those in the field of SF studies to rethink the community's identity, orientation, and stakes.  In Ida Yoshinaga, Sean Guynes, and Gerry Canavan's edited volume Uneven Futures: Strategies for Community Survival from Speculative Fiction (MIT Press, 2022), more than forty writers, critics, game designers, scholars, and activists explore core SF texts, with an eye toward a future in which corporations dominate both the means of production and the means of distribution and governments rely on powerful surveillance and carceral technologies. The essays, international in scope, demonstrate the diversity of SF through a balance of popular mass-market novels, comics, films, games, TV shows, creepypastas, and more niche works. SF works explored range from Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi, 2084: The End of the World by Boualem Sansal, Terra Nullius by Claire Coleman, Watchmen and X-Men comics, and the Marvel film Captain America: The Winter Soldier, to the MaddAddam trilogy by Margaret Atwood, The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, The Wandering Earth by Liu Cixin, and the Wormwood trilogy by Tade Thompson. In an era in which ecological disaster and global pandemics regularly expose and intensify deep political-economic inequalities, what futures has SF anticipated? What survival strategies has it provided us? Can it help us to deal with, and grow beyond, the inequalities and injustices of our times? Unlike other books of speculative/science fiction criticism, Uneven Futures uses a think piece format to make its critical insights engaging to a wide audience. The essays inspire visions of better possible futures—drawing on feminist, queer, and global speculative engagements with Indigenous, Latinx, and Afro- and African futurisms—while imparting important lessons for political organizing in the present.

I have a special place in my heart (and my TBR pile) for apocalypse fiction. What I had never understood was the difference between eastern and western ideas about apocalypse. In my typical western mindset, I just assumed everyone viewed it more or less the same. Boy, was I wrong! Like, epically wrong. And I'm so grateful that I have a friend like Xueting to help me figure it out. I'm still ignorant, but at least I know just how ignorant I am.

英语新闻∣《独行月球》3天8亿票房!沈腾“落”在月球上,观众笑到肚子“腾”Within just three days, the box officeofMoonMan has already exceeded 800 million yuan. As the most“ungrounded”comedy ever made by Mahua, it is shaping up to be the summer's No. 1 blockbuster to lure audiences back to theaters.上映短短三天,票房已超8亿。《独行月球》这部开心麻花有史以来最“不接地气”的喜剧片,正在成为这个暑期档最吸引观众重回影院的头号热门大片。Adapted from the popular comic series Moon You, the movie shows Dugu Yue, a spacecraftmaintenanceman, unintentionally left on the moon after theevacuationof the crew of Lunar Shield, a moon-based project aiming to rescue the Earth from an asteroid strike but ending up in failure due to an unpredicted issue.影片改编自同名漫画,讲述了在未来世界,为免于地球毁于一颗小行星的撞击,人类在月球部署了月盾计划。不料意外来临,逼迫月球上的宇航员们紧急撤离,而维修员独孤月却被落在月球上。Witnessing the catastrophic hit from the moon, Dugu believes the Earth is completely destroyed and he's the last human in this universe. However, little does he know that the surviving humankind, including the crew's leader, a woman who Dugu has had a secret crush on for many years, are all watching his every move from the Earth.在月球上目睹地球遭受毁天灭地的撞击,独孤月误以为,他是这个宇宙最唯一幸存的人类。然而,他万万没想到的是,地球上的幸存者——包括他暗恋多年的月盾计划女领队马蓝星——都能看到他每天破罐子破摔的一举一动。One of the movie's top draws for Mahua fans is that it reunites Shen Teng and Ma Li, two of Mahua's top comedian stars, respectively as Dugu and Ma Lanxing, the commander of the Lunar Shield project.对于许多开心麻花的粉丝而言,这部片可谓是继《夏洛特烦恼》的七年之后,终于盼到沈腾和马丽再次合作的一部长片。The reunion occurred seven years after Goodbye Mr Loser, a dark-horse blockbuster that raked in 1.44 billion yuan to become one of the highest-grossing Chinese movies in 2015. The smash hit has seen Shen and Ma join an elite of the country's mostsought-aftercomedian stars.当时在2015年上映的《夏洛特烦恼》,以14.4亿的票房,成为那年表现最出色的黑马之作之一,也为沈腾和马丽此后的超高人气奠下基础。Shen has accumulated a huge fan base as he can easily tickle the funny bone of his audience. But his intense schedule has seen him appear in several films just as supporting characters. His appearances in these movies are short, for example, five minutes in Never Say Die, three minutes in Hello, Mrs Money and 10 minutes in Warm Hug. However, the movies casting him all hooked lots of theatergoers, thanks to his popularity.作为“长在观众笑点上的男人”,沈腾在喜剧感上已是炉火纯青。即使是他在几部影片中的戏份并不多,他在这类影片——诸如《羞羞的铁拳》、《李茶的姑妈》和《温暖的抱抱》—— 中的表演,也成为全片最“好笑”的部分之一。Starring Shen as the stranded maintenance man, the 122-minute Moon Man marks the longest and even the "loneliest" movie Shen has shot during his career spanning nearly 20 years. He had shot the movie for nearly five months, with most of the time performing alone.而对于沈腾而言,这次出演《独行月球》,可谓是他有史以来拍得最长也最“孤独”的一部影片。他饰演的维修员独孤月被独自留在月球上,而为了这部影片,沈腾也是拍了将近五个月的“独角戏”。The majority of the film's around 1,800 special effects scenes were made by artists from More VFX, a visual effects company known for The Wandering Earth and A Writer's Odyssey. The shooting was conducted in 15 soundstages which covered an area of 40,000 square meters in Qingdao, Shandong province.影片的特效部分均由曾制作过《流浪地球》和《刺杀小说家》的特效公司More VFX掌舵。全片特效镜头约1800个,在占地面积总共40000平方米的15个摄影棚拍摄。该片拍摄地点主要在山东青岛。In the movie, Shen's character discovers agrumpykangaroo when he attempts to get a bottle of medicine from the Lunar Shield project's base on the moon. The kangaroo becomes the only creature that accompanies him on the moon, and even becomes a "friend" that assists him in his efforts to return to the Earth.占了特效最大头的其实是一只脾气暴躁的袋鼠。当沈腾饰演的独孤月去月盾基地的仓库取药时,偶遇了同样被宇航员们落在月球上的那只袋鼠,这只名为“金刚鼠”的袋鼠也因此成了主角在月球上唯一的小伙伴,不仅陪他度过孤独时光,还在关键时刻帮助他尝试返回地球。The anthropomorphic kangaroo, depicted in the movie as capable of understanding the protagonist's sorrows and joys, is played by Hao Han, a comedian actor also with Mahua Funage. The movie blends digital motion-capture technology and the actor's performance.这只具有拟人化性格的袋鼠,由演员郝瀚扮演。后期呈现在大银幕上的效果是结合了演员的实际表演和动作捕捉的数字技术。Despite the movie employing advanced cinematic technology, including using virtual cinematography to make the preview scenes for actors and actresses easier to understand their roles' responses and emotions, the director says the core of the movie is "a comedy".尽管这部影片使用到大量的先进电影摄制技术,比如运用虚拟拍摄提前拍出大部分场景,以便于让演员们能理解角色所处的场景,导演对于这部影片的定调,是它从核心上来说,是“一部喜剧片”。 After The Wandering Earth bursting onto the scenethree years agoand several domestic sci-fi filmsbeingreleased this summer, science fiction,a genre still in its infancy in the Chinese film market,is finding its own unique Chinese way.从三年《流浪地球》横空出世为中国科幻带来蓬勃生机,到这个暑假几部国产科幻片陆续上映,科幻——这个在中国电影市场中仍处于起步期的类型——正在探索独有的中国式道路。Whether sci-fi elements arehard or not may not be the key to a good science fiction film. The most basic evaluation criterion of any movie is always the story itself.科幻元素硬不硬,可能并不是评价一部科幻片好不好的关键元素。任何一部电影的最基本评价标准,始终是故事好不好看。maintenance英[ˈmeɪntənəns]美[ˈmeɪntənəns]n. 维持,保持;保养,保管;维护evacuation英[ɪˌvækju'eɪʃ(ə)n]美[ɪˌvækju'eɪʃ(ə)n]n. 疏散; 撤离; 排泄rake in英[reɪk]美[reɪk]vt.& vi. 赚大钱(尤指轻易地)sought-after英['sɔ:tɑ:ftə]美['sɔtɑftə]adj. 很吃香的,广受欢迎的grumpy英[ˈɡrʌmpi]美[ˈɡrʌmpi]adj. 脾气坏的; 性情粗暴的;

John Elkington is an advisor on sustainable development and corporate responsibility, an area he's been working in for almost 40 years. He is the author of 20 books on this topic, and he has given a remarkable contribution to shifting capitalism and business towards a more balanced and sustainable path. We talk about his new book called "Green Swans: The Coming Boom in Regenerative Capitalism," we also talk about wicked and super wicked problems, exponentials, why he reads Chinese science fiction books, his visit with past guest Kevin Kelley and what he's both terrified of and excited about in the coming ten to fifteen year.  What is Covered:  - Who or what are ‘green swans' and where the idea came from  - Human struggle with exponentials and the role of technology in systemic change - Wicked and super wicked problems, and what is unique about them in today's world - The issues with discounted cash flow in today's economy  - The role of young generation and why we need intergenerational cooperation to solve existential threats we're facing Key Takeaways and Learnings:  - The green swans are very often market or societal or political shifts. A company or an individual could play into those changing realities, but it's not about individuals as such. - Super wicked problems, such as the climate emergency, make us see our future ahead of us, but we seem to be completely unable as a political species to address the challenge in a sufficient scale and with sufficient urgency.  - Reengaging young people in a multigenerational and intergenerational battle for a systemic change at the right time and in the right way is a major opportunity in the next 10 to 15 years Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  - “Green Swans: The Coming Book in Regenerative Capitalism” by John Elkington https://www.amazon.com/Green-Swans-Coming-Regenerative-Capitalism-ebook/dp/B086BJF1FQ/  - Volans Ventures https://volans.com/  - Connect with John Elkington by email, LinkedIn or Twitter - “The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb https://www.amazon.com/Black-Swan-Improbable-Robustness-Fragility/dp/081297381X/  - UN Sustainable Development Goals https://sdgs.un.org/goals  - “Exponential: How to Bridge the Gap Between Technology and Society” by Azeem Azhar https://www.amazon.com/Exponential-Bridge-Between-Technology-Society/dp/B094DK3NG7/   - “New Rules for the New Economy: 10 Radical Strategies for a Connected World” by Kevin Kelly https://www.amazon.com/New-Rules-Economy-Strategies-Connected/dp/014028060X/  - “Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems and the Economic World” by Kevin Kelly https://www.amazon.com/Out-Control-Biology-Machines-Economic/dp/0201483408/   - “Ministry for the Future: A Novel” by Kim Stanley Robinson https://www.amazon.com/Ministry-Future-Kim-Stanley-Robinson/dp/0316300144/  - “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” by Thomas S.
