Netflix has launched a full-blown exploration on creating their original series with the premiere of 'Marco Polo' on December 12.
Netflix原創(chuàng)歷史劇《馬可波羅》預(yù)定于12月12日開播。

As the streaming giant's first large-scale period series, Marco Polo promises to deliver a different kind of viewing experience tinged with historical realities that are reinvented for modern viewing.
作為Netflix的第一步大型歷史劇，《馬可波羅》一定會(huì)帶給觀眾一種別樣的觀賞體驗(yàn)，使觀眾能在現(xiàn)代演繹的劇集中重溫歷史史實(shí)。

The trailer, set in the 13th century, shows how Maffeo Polo, offered to leave his son, Marco Polo, as collateral to Kublai Khan, the leader and ruler of the Mongol Empire. Khan uses Marco Polo as his spy in the Far East, which jump starts the main premise of the show.
從預(yù)告片中可以看到，該劇設(shè)定背景在十三世紀(jì)，講述了忽必烈時(shí)期，蒙古國(guó)國(guó)王忽必烈令馬可波羅作為其在遠(yuǎn)東的間諜，并以此展開整個(gè)劇情的故事。

The trailer sweeps through the many different times in Marco Polo's adventures, in which he transcribes and keeps in a journal. His adventures will show tales of betrayal, deceit, greed and even sexual encounters—elements that make a promising television drama.
預(yù)告片中快速回放了馬可波羅在其日志中提到過(guò)的很多冒險(xiǎn)經(jīng)歷，劇集中涉及到了背叛、欺騙、貪婪，甚至性愛等多種元素，使得這部電視劇非常有看頭。

Filmed through the landscapes of Malaysia, Italy, and Kazakhstan, the 10-episode premiere season will star Lorenzo Richelmy as the titular role, with Benedict Wong as Kublai Khan, Chin Han is set to play Jia Sidao.
該劇先后在馬來(lái)西亞、意大利以及哈薩克斯坦取景拍攝，共10集。其中由意大利男星Lorenzo Richelmy出演馬可波羅，本尼迪特·王出演忽必烈，黃經(jīng)漢出演賈似道。

Other stars featured in the series are Joan Chen, Vanessa Vanderstraaten, Eric Yune, and Nicholas Bloodworth.
其他參演該劇的演員還有陳沖、Vanessa Vanderstraaten、艾瑞克·尹和尼古拉斯·布拉德沃思等。

The trailer was released weeks after a teaser trailer swept the Internet with anticipation. Marco Polo follows a current trend of historical small screen adaptations, with examples such as 'The Tudors' and History Channel's 'Vikings.'
官方預(yù)告片是民間版惡搞預(yù)告片在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上熱傳了幾周之后才公布出來(lái)的。如同《都鐸王朝》以及歷史頻道的《維京傳奇》等小屏幕歷史劇一樣，《馬可波羅》延續(xù)了這一趨勢(shì)，令人充滿期待。?
