How Disney Enlisted ‘Mulan,’ a $200 Million Folktale, to Court China
為討好中國市場，花木蘭的腰可以多彎？

-court: 有奉承；討好；取悅；向…獻殷勤等意思。

♾ Walt Disney Co. may be rolling out its $200 million “Mulan” remake on its streaming service in much of the world due to the pandemic, but the studio still has a chance to make a box-office splash in the one market executives constantly had on their minds when making the film: China.
迪士尼打算在串流媒體上推出耗資2億美元翻拍的真人版電影《花木蘭》。雖受新冠疫情影響，迪士尼若瞄準中國市場，仍有機會在票房上取得亮眼佳績。

-roll out: 推出（新政策、產品）
-remake: 重新拍攝或改編的電影
-box-office: 售票處或賣座。
The box office opens at ten.
售票處十點開門。
Her last movie was a surprise box-office hit.
她上一部電影出人意料地叫座。

⏳ The “Mulan” debut in Chinese theaters, which began reopening late in July, fits with Disney’s broader effort to court Chinese consumers, drawing them to its stores and theme parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

《花木蘭》於七月在中國電影院首次登場。迪士尼為迎合中國消費者已做了許多努力，並吸引他們光顧上海及香港迪士尼。


-debut: 登場，首張專輯可以叫：debut (first) album
-draw: 這邊不是畫畫的意思，而是吸引注意。
例如：draw someone’s attention


💫 The 1998 animated version of “Mulan” was a box-office dud in China. Not wanting to fall short again, Disney made many efforts to ensure its newest adaptation of the centuries-old folk tale would resonate with Chinese moviegoers. The company postponed releasing the film more than a year to wait for the actress executives wanted for the lead role and worked closely with China’s government, all the while striving to present a main character and story line faithful to Chinese values.


此前，1998年的動畫版《花木蘭》在中國票房不佳。為免再次失利，迪士尼做了許多努力，以確保這有著數百年歷史的故事，能以嶄新的姿態與中國觀眾產生共鳴。除此之外，迪士尼還為配合高層中意的女演員檔期，將發片時間延後一年多。同時迪士尼還與中國政府密切合作，努力呈現符合中國價值觀的主角和故事。

-dud: 廢物，a box-office dud是「票房毒藥」的意思，a box office bomb也是。
-adaptation: 改編電影
-moviegoer: 影迷


未完待續...
到底迪士尼為了討好中國觀眾，還做了哪些事？

《蒲公英的約定》是典型周氏R&B情歌，在簡單的旋律中緩緩描述著光陰的甜酸☺️旋律本來是電影《不能說的秘密》中的一段小插曲，大概是周杰倫太喜歡，就發展一首歌了！
⠀⠀
旋律中瀰漫淡淡的感傷，講了懵懂初戀時男孩沒有向女孩說出口的話。
現實人生中故事很常是這樣發展的不是嗎（笑）
等到許多年過後，才驚覺當初誤以為的友情其實是分不清的愛情。
所以我們看劇的時候會有共鳴，會因為劇情手指蜷曲、會用上帝視角看著主角木頭（？）也會因為悲劇結尾跟著一起哭，Happy ending的時候一起感到滿足！
⠀⠀
長大之後的我們，聽了這首歌似乎搭著時光機回到那段純真的時光，想起年少懵懂的感覺和記憶。⠀⠀
明明是一起長大的約定，卻叫蒲公英的約定，很有意思吧🙃
是因為不論怎麼約定，長大後也終究會因為命運而各奔東西嗎？

A Dandelion's Promise is such Jay Chou's signature R&B style with the lyric by Vincent Fang telling us the sweet and sour time when we were young☺️
The melody was from the movie《Secret》 directed by Jay Chou himself and maybe he likes it sooo much that he developed the interlude into a romantic song!
⠀
The melody is sentimental, and it speaks out those words the boy didn't tell the girl.
That's literally our real life, isn't it lol
Not until many years later do we realize that the friendship was misunderstood as the indistinguishable love. (sighhhhh)
Therefore, when we watch dramas/TV series/movies, we will resonate with the stories therein.
We will cry when they are tragedy in the end, or be satisfied when they are finally happy ending!
⠀
It's like taking the time machine when listening to this as a grown-up.
The song takes us back to the time when we were innocent and shy moments with "that one." BTW, it's interesting to think that the promise of growing up together was so sincere for me but now I call it as a dandelion’s promise.
I'm wondering if it's because that no matter how sincere the promise was, after growing up, we will eventually be led to our own ways as if it's meant to be 🙃

Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone (1965)
巴布·狄倫 - 《像一塊滾石》

一個創作歌手能得諾貝爾文學獎很有意思。很多人可能對他的音樂有一點陌生但我想翻唱他的經典：《像一塊滾石》。

聽說75歲的狄倫明天不出席諾貝爾典禮但沒有關係，他就是做自己到底，永遠是一位對社會的反叛者。
最早有人說他唱歌不好聽，吉他彈的也還好，但全世界不能否認他真的很會說故事。歌詞寫的很有意境，也會讓聽眾想很久。

A singer-songwriter won the Nobel Prize for Literature this year. Unprecedented and awesome.
It's true, Dylan never considered himself a singer, or a guitar player. But he is indistiputably a master story teller, word-smith, using music to share experiences that resonate today as they did decades ago.
