The Great Wall is one of the most lavish and expensive films ever shot in China.
《长城》是在中国拍摄的最华丽、最昂贵的电影之一。
Directed by the living-great of Chinese cinema, Zhang Yimou, it makes use of vast theatrical sets,elaborate costumes as well as great Chinese cultural icons like, er, Matt Damon.
该片由大名鼎鼎的中国电影导演张艺谋执导，场景恢宏，道具精妙，还应用了诸多伟大的中国文化标志，比如……嗯，马特•达蒙。
Matt Damon?
马特•达蒙?
"Matt Damon plays a foreign mercenary who comes to China to steal gun powder," Mr Zhang tells me.
张导演告诉我：“马特•达蒙扮演了一位雇佣兵，他来中国是为了偷火药的。”
"Of course he is a foreigner. For the director, we never consider the race question first. We always think about the story first. If the story flows, if the story is good."
“当然，他是一位外国人。但对于导演来说，我们从来不会优先考虑种族问题，我们总是把故事放在首位。只在故事能顺畅进行，只有故事讲得好就行了。”
The budget of at least $100m (£80m) underwrites a US-China collaboration of a kind that is becoming increasingly common nowadays.
预算至少1亿美元(8千万英镑)，保证了中美两国的顺利合作，这种情况在当今世界也是越来越多见的。
