How Chinese film ‘Sister’ defeats ‘Godzilla vs.Kong’ to become No.1at the Qingming Festival
Box office in China
中国电影《我的姐姐》是如何击败《哥斯拉大战金刚》成为清明假期中国票房第一的
“Sister”has emerged as an unexpected holiday hit, surpassing Hollywood heavyweight“Godzilla Vs. Kong".
《我的姐姐》意外成为假期大片，超过好莱坞重量级电影《哥斯拉大战金刚》。
A new Chinese movie is casting a spotlight on a long-debatedquestion: Should personal values be prioritized over traditionalfamily values?
一部新的中国电影正在关注一个长期争论的问题:个人价值观是否应优先于传统家庭价值观?
Sister tells the story of 24-year-old An Ran. Following the sudden death of her two parents in a car crash, An faces the tough choice of pursuing her own life or raising her younger brother. It has sparked a national discourse about China's patriarchal culture and the widespread preference among parents to have boys.
《我的姐姐》讲述了24岁的安然的故事。随着她的父母在车祸中突然去世，她面临着艰难的选择，是追求自己的生活还是抚养弟弟。它引发了一场关于中国父权文化和父母普遍重男轻女的全国性讨论。
The film reflects a social issue in China - a traditional preference for sons and deep- rooted patriarchal norms,one of the movie's central themes. While An was a little girl- a time when the one-child policy was still in full effect - her parents forced her to pretend to be lame in order to get permission to have a second child- her little brother. After the boy's birth, her parents give almost all of their love to their son while ignoring An.
这部电影反映了中国的一个社会问题——对儿子的传统偏爱和根深蒂固的父权规范。这是此电影的中心主题之一。当安然还是一个小女孩时——当时独生子女政策还在全面实施——她的父母强迫她假装瘸子，以获得生第二个孩子的许可——她的弟弟。男孩出生后，她的父母把几乎所有的爱都给了他们的儿子，而忽略了安然。
During the film, the audience gradually learns about An's hardships, such as having to pretend to be disabled so her parents could be granted permission by authorities to have a second child in the years before China lifted its one-child policy in 2015.
在影片中，观众逐渐了解到安然的艰辛。比如在2015年中国取消独生子女政策之前的几年里，她不得不假装残疾，这样她的父母就可以得到当局的允许生二胎。
"When I was a child, I had femoral head necrosis (a condition in which blood supply to the thigh bone is cut off). My family received a child disability certificate and legally had my brother," one Weibo user who found familiarity in the film's plot commented under a related post. He was 11 years younger than me. It changed my destiny forever."
“小时候，我的股骨头坏死(大腿骨的血液供应被切断)。我的家人获得了儿童残疾证书，并合法地生下了我的弟弟。”一位经历与此电影情节相似的微博用户在相关帖子中评论道。“他比我小11岁。这永远改变了我的命运。”
Others were drawn to the difficult moral dilemma. "If Iwas the sister, I would pursue my career, because I would choose to love myself every time before choosing to love my family,"another Weibo user commented under a separate post.
其他人则关注于影片中的道德困境。“如果 我是影片中的姐姐，我会追求我的职业，因为我会选择先爱自己，再爱家人。”另一位微博用户在另一篇相关帖子中评论道。
On Wednesday, a news report bearing similarities to the movie's themes also became a topic of discussion on Weibo. A 20-year-old from the eastern city of Hangzhou reportedly killed herself after she was unable to care for her three siblings after their parents divorced.
周三，一则与电影主题相似的新闻报道也成为微博上的热议话题。据报道，来自东部城市杭州的一位20岁女孩在父母离婚后因无法照顾自己的三个兄弟姐妹而自杀。
In an interview with The Beijing News, the film's screenwriter,You Xiaoying, said An's story isn't entirely fictional, and is partially a reflection of reality. She said one of her friends was in a similar situation as the movie's protagonist, which prompted her to explore the subject further,and “I saw that there were a lot of conficts and struggles in these families, I wanted to explore Why," she said.
电影的编剧游晓莹在接受《新京报》采访时说，安然的故事不完全是虚构的，部分反映了现实。她说，她的一位朋友与电影的主人公处境相似，这促使她进一步探索这个主题并且我看到这些家庭中有很多冲突和挣扎,我想探究其中的原因。
The film drew comments from renowned scholars, such as Li Yinhe, a pioneering sociologist studying sex and gender roles in China. In a lengthy post on Weibo, she described the movie as“a profound work based on solid social reality".
这部电影引来了著名学者的评论，比如研究中国性别和性别角色的先驱社会学家李银河。在一条长微博中，她形容这部电影是“一部基于坚实的社会现实的深刻作品”。
Li said that besides gender inequality, the film also explored the conflict between filial piety and individualism in a modernized society.“So it becomes a Hamletian dilemma ... should we pursue individual values, or sacrifice them for our families? The film has placed its protagonist in a violent ethical and emotional conflict, Which is thought-provoking," she wrote.
李银河表示，除了性别不平等，这电影还探讨了现代社会中孝道和个人主义之间的冲突，“于是这就成了一个哈姆雷特式的难题....是追求个人的人生价值，还是为了亲情牺牲个人?影片把人物置于伦理和情感的剧烈冲突的情境之中，引人深思。
As theaters in North America are hailing Hollywood monster mash Godzilla vs. Kong for setting the best pandemic box office record over the Easter weekend, Chinese feature film Sister, which tackles sibling relationships, quickly defeated Warner Bros' tent pole during China's Qingming Festival holiday.On review site Douban,“Sister”has scored 7.2 out of 10.
在北美影院为好莱坞电影《哥斯拉大战金刚》(Godzilla vs. Kong)在复活节周末创下最佳流行电影票房纪录而欢呼之际，讲述兄弟姐妹关系的中国故事片《我的姐姐》(Sister)在中国清明节假期迅速击败华纳兄弟(Warner Bros)的主打影片。在评论网站豆瓣上，《我的姐姐》的评分为7.2分（满分为十分）。
Chinese film experts say that Chinese audiences are getting bored with Hollywood's special effects extravaganzas and are more willing to see Chinese stories told with cutting-edge film technology on the big screen.
中国电影专家表示，中国观众已经厌倦了好莱坞华丽的特效，他们更愿意在大屏幕上看到用前沿电影技术讲述的中国故事。
At Monday noon, the total box office for the three-day Qingming Festival holiday surpassed 700 million yuan($107 million), setting a new record for the holiday period. Sister and Godzilla vs. Kong account for more than 80 percent of this box office,according to Chinese ticketing platform Beacon.
周一中午，清明节三天假期的总票房超过7亿元(1.07亿美元)，创造了假期期间的新纪录。根据中国票务平台Beacon的数据，《我的姐姐》和《哥斯拉大战金刚》占据了这部电影票房的80%以上。
"Hollywood films like Godzilla VS.Kong can barely attract a strong interest among Chinese audiences a sit only captures their eyes by providing a visual feast without reaching a certain emotional resonance with the moviegoers," Xiao Fuqiu, a film critic based in Shanghai,told the Global Times on Monday." Emotional resonance is also the reason why Sister toppled Godzilla VS.Kong and it explains why domestic blockbusters have overwhelmed Hollywood films to become champions at the annual box office in China in recent years," he added.
“像《哥斯拉大战金刚》这样的好莱坞电影很难吸引中国观众的浓厚兴趣，它只能通过提供一场视觉盛宴来捕捉观众的眼球，而不能引起观众的某种情感共鸣，”上海影评人肖福秋周一告诉《环球时报》。情感共鸣也是《我的姐姐》击败《哥斯拉大战金刚》的原因，这也解释了为什么近年来国产大片超过好莱坞电影成为中国年度票房冠军。”
According to media reports, Sister surpassed Godzilla VS. Kong and moved into the No.1 position only six hours after its release on Friday even though its screen share was only half that of Godzilla VS. Kong.
据媒体报道，《我的姐姐》在周五上映仅6小时后票房就超过了《哥斯拉大战金刚》，登上了第一名的位置，尽管其排片份额只有《哥斯拉大战金刚》的一半。
If Godzilla vs. Kong had been released during the Qingming Festival holiday(from Saturday to Monday) to be day and date with its North America and HBOmax releases, it would not have performed as well due to the inevitable release of pirated copies stemming from a streaming launch,while competition from Sister would further squeeze its living space in theaters, according to Xiao.
如果《哥斯拉大战金刚》是在清明节假期(周六到周一)上映的，与北美和HBOmax的上映日期相同，据肖传国表示，由于流媒体发布不可避免地会出现盗版，它的表现不会那么好，而来自电影《我的姐姐》的竞争将进一步挤压它在影院的生存空间。
The Sister's success relies on its rare truth and sincerity. It focuses on gender discrimination caused by unequal patriarchal attitudes. This topic has a broad audience base and is in line with current 'feminist' trends,'' Shi Wenxue, a film critic and teacher at the Beijing Film Academy,told the Global Times on Monday.
“这部电影的成功依赖于其罕见的真实和真诚。它关注的是不平等的父权态度造成的性别歧视。这个话题有广泛的观众基础，并且符合当前的女权主义趋势。”北京电影学院教师、影评家史文学周一告诉《环球时报》。
Three other Chinese films including the animated Monkey King Reborn,comedy-drama The Eleventh Chapter and romantic drama Tomorrow Will Be Fine were also released during the festival, taking in 58.59 million yuan,37.80 million yuan and 24.61 million yuan respectively, according to Maoyan on Monday.
据猫眼周一报道，包括动画电影《西游记之大圣归来》、喜剧电影《第十一章》和爱情片《明天会好的》在内的其他三部中国电影也在电影节上映，分别获得了5859万元、3780万元和2461万元的票房收入。
从现在的中国社会，每一天的社会新闻，每一天的鹅组大战，我们仍旧看到众多的中国女性直至今日还过着安然姑妈那样的生活，甚至更糟糕,不要说精神自由，连人身自由可能可能没有完全达到。于是，在这样的社会环境下，电影中的结局自然很容易被看成是“回归家庭”，是“妥协”，是“洗脑”。在有些家庭，即使没有责任，只要家里有男孩，“女孩”这个身份都在影响她们的人生。对于每个女孩来说，抚养弟弟不是你的责任，也不是你的义务。也不要让自己，成为不负责任的父母情感绑架的牺牲品。你们的人生，本也可以拥抱星辰大海，这才是最符合人性的道德。
