我一直在想，如果哪天HBO決定來(lái)中國(guó)來(lái)選景，西雙版納絕對(duì)是一個(gè)特別適合拍攝魔幻現(xiàn)實(shí)主義題材的取景地。

I've been thinking that if HBO ever decides to come to China to do some filming, Xishuangbanna would be a great place to shoot magical realism.

充滿(mǎn)傣族風(fēng)情的建筑，似笑非笑的佛教雕塑，況且傣族還有自己的語(yǔ)言和文字。

There are Dai buildings, smiling Buddhist sculptures, and the Dai people have their own language and writing.

哪怕像我一樣，對(duì)這些文化毫無(wú)了解的人，在這里住上幾天，也會(huì)聽(tīng)人用傣族語(yǔ)說(shuō)：貓哆哩（小伙子）、哨哆哩（小姑娘）。

Even people like me, who have no knowledge of these cultures, would spend a few days here and hear Dai speakers say "Mao Dori" (young man) and "Shao Dori" (young girl).

這種語(yǔ)言文化藝術(shù)上的獨(dú)特性，跟味覺(jué)的獨(dú)特性是保持一致的。

This uniqueness of language, culture and art is consistent with the uniqueness of taste.

除了云南，從來(lái)沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)哪個(gè)地方這么鐘愛(ài)一種烹調(diào)方式：舂chong（注意不是春，是舂，舂萬(wàn)物）。

I've never seen anywhere outside of Yunnan that has so much love for one type of cooking: 舂 chong

好像天氣和人們的味蕾是對(duì)應(yīng)的，往南方走天氣越發(fā)溫暖燥熱，大家的飲食習(xí)慣也隨之暴躁起來(lái)。

It seems that the weather corresponds to people's taste buds, and as the weather gets warmer farther south, so does their eating habits.

不論是雞爪還是水果，都把舂這種烹調(diào)方式發(fā)揚(yáng)光大。

Whether it's chicken feet or fruit, has taken this way of cooking to a new level.

遍布世界各地大型酒店就是特別容易發(fā)生離奇故事的地方，那些蕭條了兩三年的巨型度假酒店，迎來(lái)了他們放開(kāi)以后的第一批客人，酒店本身就充滿(mǎn)了懸疑和未知的氛圍，感覺(jué)發(fā)生任何有趣的故事都不為過(guò)。

Intercontinental hotels all over the world are places where strange stories happen. Giant resorts, which had been in the doldrums for two or three years, are getting their first customers since the market opened up.The hotel itself is full of suspenseful atmosphere, any interesting story can happen here

西雙版納，就像它的名字一樣，是座與眾不同且充滿(mǎn)故事的城市。

Xishuangbanna, just like its name, is a city with a unique story.

所以我將使用真實(shí)的旅游照片+電影劇照一起來(lái)編故事！編故事！編故事！

So I'm going to use real travel photos and movie stills. Let's make up stories! Make up stories! Make up stories!

拼湊一個(gè)好玩的人物框架，想象一個(gè)非線(xiàn)性敘事的類(lèi)型片選角。

下面我將采用虛實(shí)結(jié)合的方式進(jìn)行腦洞大開(kāi)！

下面我將采用虛實(shí)結(jié)合的方式進(jìn)行腦洞大開(kāi)！

下面我將采用虛實(shí)結(jié)合的方式進(jìn)行腦洞大開(kāi)！

（真的很擔(dān)心有人以為下面的文字都是真實(shí)發(fā)生的）

西雙版納洲際酒店大門(mén)

洲際酒店門(mén)前，掛著各地牌照的汽車(chē)徐徐駛?cè)?，下客區(qū)大排場(chǎng)龍，酒店好久沒(méi)有這么多的客人了。

In front of the Intercontinental Hotel, cars with license plates from all over the China slowly drove into the parking area. The hotel had not had so many guests for a long time.

所有的員工都站在門(mén)口迎接，門(mén)童為每一輛下車(chē)的客人開(kāi)門(mén)，后備箱里取出成堆的行李，經(jīng)理帶著職業(yè)笑容守在人群的最前面，今天她特意穿了一件鮮艷的粉紅色外套，特意跟普通員工區(qū)別開(kāi)來(lái)。

All the staff stood at the door to greet them, the doorman opened the door for each car and unpacked piles of luggage from the trunk, and the manager, who wore a bright pink coat today to distinguish herself from the ordinary staff, was at the head of the crowd with a professional smile.

她朝著客人們揮手致意，希望大家一下車(chē)就注意到她，留下一個(gè)好印象。

She waved to the guests, hoping they would notice her and make a good impression as soon as they got off the bus.

此時(shí)下午一兩點(diǎn)鐘，正是西雙版納一天中最熱的時(shí)候。

It was one or two o 'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day in Xishuangbanna.

所有的員工都穿著最為正式的全套服裝，以示對(duì)到場(chǎng)來(lái)賓的尊重。

All employees are dressed in their most formal outfits to show respect for the guests present.

《白蓮花度假村》第二季劇照

車(chē)上走下來(lái)一群男女老少，他們因?yàn)楦鞣N不同的原因來(lái)到這里。

A group of men, women and children got off the bus. They were there for different reasons.

中年企業(yè)家徐總帶著兩位跟班最先從自己的專(zhuān)職司機(jī)駕駛的商務(wù)車(chē)上下來(lái)。

Xu, a middle-aged entrepreneur, was the first to get out of his chauffeur-driven business car with his two minions.

這些年他們的醫(yī)藥器材生意做得風(fēng)生水起，趁著疫情迅速地占領(lǐng)了市場(chǎng)。

Their medical equipment business has been booming in recent years, taking advantage of the pandemic to quickly capture the market.

此次出行，主要目的是為了犒勞辛苦一年的員工和組織公司團(tuán)建工作。

The main purpose of this trip is to reward the employees who have worked hard for a year and organize the company's team building work.

徐總本身個(gè)子不高，挽起袖子的條紋襯衣緊緊地貼在肚子上面，好像哪怕少一顆扣子都會(huì)全部崩開(kāi)。

Mr. Xu was not tall, and his striped shirt, with its sleeves rolled up, clung tightly to his stomach, as if it would burst open if he missed even one button.

挺著的肚腩前面斜挎著一個(gè)新?lián)Q的商務(wù)包，這是成功人士的標(biāo)配，

In front of his bulging belly hung a brand new business bag, the standard for successful people,

旁邊的兩位看上去就休閑了許多，短褲加上人字拖，早早地就進(jìn)入了度假模式。

The two men nearby looked much more relaxed, shorts and flip-flops, and were early in vacation mode.

三個(gè)人咋咋呼呼地走進(jìn)了酒店，侍者本來(lái)要去幫忙拎包，誰(shuí)知兩位跟班都在拼命爭(zhēng)搶著獻(xiàn)殷勤。

The three men entered the hotel noisily. The bellboy was going to help with the bag, but the two footmen were all fighting for attention.

《泰囧》劇照

第二組是從東北專(zhuān)程前來(lái)過(guò)冬的新婚夫婦。

The second group was newly married couples who had come from northeast China for the winter.

兩個(gè)人都操著特別重的東北口音，

Both of them spoke with a particularly strong northeast Chinese accent,

前幾天結(jié)婚時(shí)穿的正裝已經(jīng)換成了休閑裝扮

The formal dress worn at the wedding a few days ago has been changed into a casual dress

男生一手把剛才攥得褶皺的飛機(jī)登機(jī)牌塞進(jìn)了褲包里，

The man tucked the crumpled boarding pass into his pants bag,

腋下還夾著一瓶沒(méi)喝完的礦泉水

with an unfinished bottle of mineral water under his arm

臉上還洋溢著蜜月的興奮和喜悅，

His face was full of honeymoon excitement and joy

他沖在車(chē)的后面自己打開(kāi)了后備箱，

He rushed to the back of the car and opened the trunk himself,

拒絕了門(mén)童的幫忙，自己兩手拎著大包小包，走得踉踉蹌蹌的，

He refused the porter's help, and staggered along, carrying his bags in his hands,

他們應(yīng)該是第一次到南方城市來(lái)過(guò)冬，滿(mǎn)眼都充滿(mǎn)了新鮮感。

They should be the first time to the southern city for winter, and everything seems fresh to their eyes.

《受益人》劇照

這時(shí)，從網(wǎng)約車(chē)上面走下來(lái)兩個(gè)人，兩個(gè)人的氣質(zhì)格外的扎眼。

At the same time, two people stepped down from the car, they look very conspicuous.

油膩的頭發(fā)和黝黑的皮膚，

Greasy hair and dark skin,

大概是長(zhǎng)期熬夜的關(guān)系所以?xún)蓚€(gè)眼窩都陷得特別深，

It's probably the result of staying up all night so both eye sockets are really deep,

年紀(jì)應(yīng)該不算太大可是頭發(fā)已經(jīng)明顯的開(kāi)始嚴(yán)重的向后禿了起來(lái)，

I don't think they're that old but they're definitely bald

眉頭緊鎖地站在熱鬧的人群旁邊，小心翼翼的樣子像是怕被人認(rèn)出來(lái)

They stood frowning beside the lively crowd, careful as if they were afraid of being recognized

看上去，他們顯然是來(lái)幫大哥辦事的

It seemed obvious that they were doing their boss a favor

《瘋狂的賽車(chē)》劇照

角色設(shè)計(jì)的腦洞開(kāi)完了，

That's the imagination of character design

其實(shí)理論上還可以再增加一組人馬，

Theoretically, we could add another set of characters

一共4組顧客，加上酒店工作人員，一共5,6組人馬混戰(zhàn)在一起，

There were four groups of customers, and the hotel staff, five or six groups in total.

想想這個(gè)中國(guó)版的度假村故事就跌宕起伏、妙趣橫生

The Chinese version of the resort story sounds really fascinating

《白蓮花度假村》海報(bào)

哈哈，人物設(shè)計(jì)想象完畢，下面來(lái)聊一聊真實(shí)的旅行感受

now let's talk about the real travel experience

這里還延續(xù)著上個(gè)世紀(jì)末一般的旅游方式，人潮人海中有點(diǎn)像是等著進(jìn)入火車(chē)站。

It's like being a tourist at the end of the last century, waiting to get into a train station

旁邊的大門(mén)電子屏幕關(guān)著，好像一個(gè)不想上班的員工，

The electronic screen next to the door is switched off, like an employee who doesn't want to go to work,

幾個(gè)中年保安守在大門(mén)口。

Several middle-aged security guards stood guard at the gate.

每個(gè)保安身邊還有一個(gè)穿著紅色馬甲的“義工”在吆喝著：準(zhǔn)備好身份證！

Each guard was accompanied by a "volunteer" in a red vest shouting: Get your ID cards ready!

在中國(guó)，穿著馬甲或者戴著袖章的人通常都不太好對(duì)付的，

In China, people wearing red vests or armbands are usually not easy to deal with,

他們一般擁有著比制服們更高的權(quán)威感：不讓沒(méi)有帶身份證的游客入園。

They have a higher sense of authority than anyone else: they won't let visitors in without ID cards.

很多人站了一早上排了大長(zhǎng)隊(duì)到了門(mén)口卻被勸退了，好巧不巧，我那天就是沒(méi)有帶身份證。

A lot of people were told to leave after waiting in line all morning, and unfortunately, I didn't have my ID with me that day.

他們指著早已準(zhǔn)備好的二維碼購(gòu)票渠道說(shuō)：這里買(mǎi)票，不用身份證可以入園。

They pointed to the QR code they had prepared and said: 'You can buy tickets here and enter without ID cards.'

我掃了一下二維碼，40元一個(gè)人，比之前的網(wǎng)絡(luò)購(gòu)票貴了幾塊錢(qián)。

I scanned the QR code. It was 40 yuan per person, a few yuan more expensive than the previous online ticket.

到曼聽(tīng)御公園完全是一件計(jì)劃以外的事情，

A visit to the Royal Park was an entirely unplanned event,

春節(jié)期間的版納打車(chē)基本上是一件不可能的事，

Taking a taxi in Banna during the Spring Festival is basically impossible,

全城都沒(méi)有看到共享單車(chē)，但是隨處可見(jiàn)青桔電瓶車(chē)，竟成了最方便的交通工具。

The whole city did not see any shared bikes, but everywhere you can see Qingju electromobile, the most convenient means of transportation.

頭一回騎這個(gè)東西，讓沒(méi)有摩托車(chē)駕照的我們也能感受一把《速度與激情》，

Riding the electric bike for the first time allowed us to experience the Fast and Furious without motorcycle licenses,

“狂飆”在街頭巷尾，此情此景，非?！短﹪濉?。

Riding through the streets of Xishuangbanna is like a scene from Lost in Thailand.

騎著小電驢在距離曼聽(tīng)公園還有幾百米就已經(jīng)快走不動(dòng)了，人群都朝著一個(gè)方向涌動(dòng)。

Within a few hundred metres of the Royal Park it was hard to move, the crowd all flowing in one direction.

從酒店一路騎車(chē)過(guò)來(lái)，突然掉落到中國(guó)城鄉(xiāng)結(jié)合部。

Biking all the way from the hotel, suddenly dropped into the urban fringe of China.

酒店里本來(lái)應(yīng)該是一出類(lèi)似于《白蓮花度假村》一般的兇殺大戲；

There was supposed to be a murder drama in the White Lotus Resort;

到了曼聽(tīng)公園附近，只能是雙雪濤筆下的中國(guó)警匪劇，

Around the Royal Park, it feels like nothing but Chinese police dramas written by Shuang Xuetao,

當(dāng)然發(fā)生地要從東北挪到云南的最南端，出品方還得是愛(ài)奇藝的迷霧劇場(chǎng)。

The location will be moved from the northeast of China to the southernmost part of Yunnan, and the production will have to be iQiyi's Miwu Theater.

我不懂佛教，不妨礙我把他們單純地當(dāng)成藝術(shù)品來(lái)欣賞。

I know nothing about Buddhism, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating them purely as works of art.

園區(qū)里有雙手合十的佛像，手上戴著金色的飾品，

There are Buddha statues with folded hands wearing gold ornaments,

那模樣很像86版《西游記》里的人物，面相都似笑非笑的，

They look like the characters in the 86 version of Journey to the West. They all look like smiling faces.

讓人想起西方的蒙娜麗莎畫(huà)像或者斷臂的維納斯雕像。

It reminds me of the Mona Lisa in the West or the Venus with her arms cut off.

這尊雕像面目猙獰，齜牙咧嘴。一眼看過(guò)去，恍若《山海經(jīng)》里走出的人物，

也像是老家在尼泊爾或者巴厘島的什么神靈。

大臉盤(pán)上橫眉瞪眼，攝人心魄的眼珠子直勾勾地盯著人，鼻孔怒撐著，

絡(luò)腮胡子上配著一副能鎮(zhèn)妖驅(qū)邪的表情，

獠牙好像被人故意掰斷了頂部。

走近了再瞧，簡(jiǎn)直能聽(tīng)見(jiàn)它能發(fā)出聲響一般，吟唱出一段梵語(yǔ)的經(jīng)文。

我不清楚它的具體背后故事或者來(lái)歷，

但是一段緊張刺激的配樂(lè)已經(jīng)在腦海中盤(pán)旋，后來(lái)我竟然把這段旋律也搜出來(lái)了，

沒(méi)有聽(tīng)過(guò)的朋友一定一定要聽(tīng)一下，是Cristobal Tapia de Veer配樂(lè)的Renaissance，

古典唯美的前奏響起，后面突然畫(huà)風(fēng)一轉(zhuǎn)荒誕又失控的混搭，

神像就像是一個(gè)電影中的一個(gè)特寫(xiě)鏡頭。

我找到了類(lèi)似的電影電視鏡頭參考圖：

從美術(shù)設(shè)定的角度上來(lái)說(shuō)，西雙版納有太多符合這樣審美的藝術(shù)品了。

特別是逛完曼聽(tīng)公園又走進(jìn)總佛寺以后，這種感受更為強(qiáng)烈。

那種透著東南亞風(fēng)情又混雜著熱帶泥土芬芳的獨(dú)有的建筑美學(xué)

The unique architectural aesthetics of Southeast Asia mixed with the fragrance of tropical earth

略帶驚悚或者暴力的傳統(tǒng)文化，是東方審美里不可替代的文化。

The traditional culture with slight horror or violence is an irreplaceable culture in Oriental aesthetics.

尤其是現(xiàn)在像《中國(guó)奇譚》這樣的民族審美越發(fā)被人們所接受的時(shí)候。

Especially now, the national aesthetic such as Chinese Legend is increasingly accepted by people.

真是一步一人物，一步一配樂(lè)。

Every extra step reminds me of a movie character or a soundtrack.

那揮舞著狼牙棒，身批金藍(lán)色鎧甲，威風(fēng)凌凌立于廟宇之上，腳踏祥云蓮花履的武將形象。

There was a warrior wielding a mace, wearing a golden blue armor and auspicious cloud lotus shoes, standing majestically above the temple.

想必有朝一日，他們定會(huì)成為中國(guó)熱血?jiǎng)赢?huà)的主角。

In the future, he will definitely become the protagonist of Chinese hot-blooded animation.

原創(chuàng)不易，點(diǎn)個(gè)“在看”，歡迎關(guān)注！
