日前,由章子怡、鄧文迪合作投資的的新片《雪花與秘扇》在橫店開拍。經(jīng)歷了換主角風(fēng)波之后,目前該部影片已經(jīng)確定有李冰冰、全智賢和休杰克曼出演。

《雪花與秘扇》根據(jù)美國華裔女作家鄺麗莎(Lisa See,臺灣地區(qū)譯馮麗莎)的同名小說改編,講述了19世紀(jì)的中國鄉(xiāng)村女孩百合和雪花兩個從小一起長大的人生經(jīng)歷。

十九世紀(jì)的中國,女人必須裹足,生活與外界幾乎完全隔絕。在湖南省一個偏遠地區(qū)的婦女,發(fā)展出她們獨特的溝通密碼:女書。有些少女結(jié)盟為“女同”,如同精神上的婚配,情誼可延續(xù)一生。這些婦女在扇子及巾帕上繡寫女書,并編唱故事歌謠,藉以互通心跡……

英文簡介:

In nineteenth-century China, when wives and daughters were foot-bound and lived in almost total seclusion, the women in one remote Hunan county developed their own secret code for communication: nu shu (“women’s writing”). Some girls were paired with laotongs, “old sames,” in emotional matches that lasted throughout their lives. They painted letters on fans, embroidered messages on handkerchiefs, and composed stories, thereby reaching out of their isolation to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments.
19世紀(jì)的中國,那時的妻子和女兒都要裹足,過著幾乎完全隱居的生活,在湖南的遙遠的一個村莊,婦女們發(fā)展出她們獨特的溝通密碼:女書。有些少女結(jié)盟為“女同”,如同精神上的婚配,情誼可延續(xù)一生。這些婦女在扇子上及手帕上續(xù)寫女書,并編寫成故事,以此共享她們的希望和夢想,互通心跡。

With the arrival of a silk fan on which Snow Flower has composed for Lily a poem of introduction in nu shu, their friendship is sealed and they become “old sames” at the tender age of seven. As the years pass, through famine and rebellion, they reflect upon their arranged marriages, loneliness, and the joys and tragedies of motherhood. The two find solace, developing a bond that keeps their spirits alive. But when a misunderstanding arises, their lifelong friendship suddenly threatens to tear apart.
隨著絲綢扇的到來,在這種扇子上小女孩雪花為百合寫了女書的詩歌前奏,她們的友誼封存起來,在風(fēng)殘的70歲她們成為了“老同”。隨著歲月的流逝,經(jīng)歷過饑荒和反叛,她們回憶著她們的包辦婚姻、孤獨和作為母親的喜悅和悲傷。這兩種慰藉物,發(fā)展為她們維持她們精神不息的支柱。但是當(dāng)誤解上升的時候,她們永恒的友情也會突然間受到分開的威脅。

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is a brilliantly realistic journey back to an era of Chinese history that is as deeply moving as it is sorrowful. With the period detail and deep resonance of Memoirs of a Geisha, this lyrical and emotionally charged novel delves into one of the most mysterious of human relationships: female friendship.
《雪花和秘扇》是一部出色的真實的回顧中國歷史的作品,如此的感人和令人悲痛。通過這一時期的細節(jié)和對藝妓回憶錄的深深地認同感,這部抒情的和充滿感情的小說探究了一個最神秘的人類關(guān)系:女性的友誼。
