中国"3D美猴王"9月末横空出世

"Avator" director James Cameron says an era of 3D films began in 2009. China has also embraced the era of 3D with a string of 3D films produced both at home and abroad and released on Chinese silver screens.

Chinese cinemas have been installed with 3D film projectors which are the most advanced equipment of its kind. Wearing a pair of 3D glasses audience members are embracing the new experience of watching these spectacular films.

Last year, China produced the 3D animation film "Prequel of the Monkey King" and the urban themed 3D film "China Idol Boys". At the beginning of this year, the 3D Kungfu film "Su Qi'er" opened in cinemas. Shanghai film studio is planning to release the animated 3D films "Tibetan Rock Dog", "Uproar in Heaven" and "The Legend of the Sealed Book".

Feng Xiaogang's upcoming blockbuster "Tangshan Earthquake" will have both a wide screen and a 3D version. 3D has become a new trend in theaters and it has been welcomed by young film fans with its true to life scenes and shaking pictures.

However some industry insiders say while Chinese filmmakers are keeping pace with international film companies by producing 3D movies, they should still focus on the content, ideas and acting. After all, telling a good story is what a good film is about.

Yu Dong, Manager, PolyBona Film Company, said, "3D technology provides more entertainment for audience members. But what really counts is telling an enchanting story. 3D is only an artistic method. It's not the only and main method of film making that the industry should follow."

But as a genre of the big screen, 3D films are expected to see its popularity rise over the next two years as more foreign and domestic film makers embrace 3D technology.

　　日前，《指环王》导演杰克逊、《星球大战》导演乔治·卢卡斯等多位国际知名导演纷纷表示，将翻版过去经典电影的3D版。而国内观众也将在今年暑期档看到两部采用IMAX技术的国产电影：冯小刚的《唐山大地震》和阿甘的《唐·吉可德》。

　　"敢于试水是好事，在不断探索中，中国的3D电影或将找到自己的创作特点和市场空间。"中国艺术研究院电影电视艺术研究所所长丁亚平对记者说。他认为，在3D时代到来之时，中国电影需要看得更远，在技术、产业、美学上做好准备。

　　陈山则认为数字化时代的到来，将全面取代胶片电影，可以说是电影的第二次发明。这也是中国电影及其相关产业的一次历史机会。"但我们似乎还没有做好准备。很多人还是就问题谈问题，就3D谈3D，这样亦步亦趋，只会永远落后。我们应该布局未来，占领技术、艺术战略等各个环节的制高点。"
