蓋蒂中心，洛杉磯最著名的藝術(shù)展覽館，由現(xiàn)代主義建筑大師、白色派創(chuàng)始人理查德·邁耶設(shè)計(jì)，名不虛傳，令人流連忘返。

The Getty Center, the most famous art exhibition hall in Los Angeles, CA, USA., designed by modernist architect Richard Meier(1934- ) who is.the founder of "White School Architecturer", which is uwell-deserved reputation, to make me unforgettable.

2019年2月，曾訪美國(guó)加州大學(xué)洛杉磯分校（UCLA）戲劇影視學(xué)院，今日又至，一切如故。盡管距離好萊塢很近，但由于南加州大學(xué)電影藝術(shù)學(xué)院（SAC of USC）、美國(guó)電影學(xué)院（AFI）的強(qiáng)勢(shì)傾軋，戲劇影視學(xué)從來(lái)都不是該校的重點(diǎn)學(xué)科，難怪該學(xué)院被置于此校西北角，連二級(jí)學(xué)院名字都不出，只現(xiàn)樓名。

In February 2019, I visited the School of Drama, Film and Television of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Although it is very close to Hollywood, due to the strong competition from the School of Cinematic Arts of the University of Southern California (SAC of USC) with the American Film Institute (AFI), drama, film and television has never been a key subject in the UCLA. It is no wonder that the school is placed in the northwest corner of UCLA, even the name of it not listed, only showing name of that building.

位于洛杉磯市中心的美國(guó)聯(lián)邦法院與洛杉磯高級(jí)法院，二者雖同址同樓但級(jí)別、管轄不同。

United States Court House and Los Angeles Superior Court, although both in the same building in the center of Los Angeles, CA, however whose level and the jurisdiction are different.

路遇墨西哥車隊(duì)游行，美國(guó)的多元與包容可見(jiàn)一斑。

Diversity withal tolerance of the USA can be seen in the Mexican convoy parade I met by chance today, in Los Angeles, CA, USA.

好萊塢的商業(yè)化與寡頭化日益嚴(yán)重，令人擔(dān)憂。

Commercialization and olobalization of Ho llywood is increasingly serious, which is worrying me deeply.

在美國(guó)三大電影院線（Regar、Cinemark、AMC）中的AMC旗下的Harkins影院，觀看了電影《Barbie / 芭比》，英文原版，華納兄弟影業(yè)出品，美國(guó)女導(dǎo)演Greta Celeste Gerwig（格蕾塔·葛韋格，1983- ）執(zhí)導(dǎo)。

將玩具幻化成真人，在公路飆車中斗舞，于卡通中顯現(xiàn)動(dòng)漫風(fēng)，從歡鬧中迸射人類中心主義憂患，這部從“二次元”逆襲為“負(fù)二次元”的商業(yè)大片居然像刀郎的《羅剎海市》一樣思考起人類的根本問(wèn)題乃至終極命題。那芭比不知她是人類的玩具，那肯也不知他并非真的人類，芭比成為肯，肯反轉(zhuǎn)為芭比，二者只不過(guò)人類玩弄于股掌間的傀儡。更可悲的是，那人類不知它不過(guò)是宇宙的滄海一粟。

電影《芭比》女權(quán)主義的獨(dú)立精神與浪漫主義的人文情懷頡頏共舞，于奇幻喜劇之外透露出現(xiàn)實(shí)主義的真實(shí)客觀性，綻放出一線哲思之光。

Watched English original vision of the movie "Barbie", in the Harkins theatre of AMC, which is one of the three biggest cinema line in USA, while other twos are Rugar and Cinemark. The film presented by Warner Bros. Pictures, is directed by Greta Celeste Gerwig (1983- ), who is an American female director.

Fantasizing toys into real human, fighting with dancing in road racing, showing animation skills via cartoons, and projecting the worries of anthropocentrism from hilarity, this film, a typical commercial blockbuster, from "two- dimensional" to "negative two-dimensional" , is actually like Daolang's song "LuochaHaishi", both think about the root problem even and ultimate proposition of human existence. That Barbie doesn't know that she just is a human toy, and taht Ken doesn't know that he is not a real human being. Etheir Barbie becomes Ken or Ken becomes Ken, who just a puppet played by human beings. What's even more tragic is that human beings don't know it is just a drop in the ocean of the universe.

In the film, feminist independent spirit and romantic humanistic feelings are mixed further deeply, meanwhile to revealing the true objectivity of realism beyond fantasy, blooming a ray of philosophical light.

根據(jù)美國(guó)憲法（1787）尤其第一修正案（1791），美國(guó)政府機(jī)構(gòu)從來(lái)就沒(méi)有國(guó)家廣電總局、國(guó)家電影局、新聞出版署，但各州對(duì)電影的審查自1915年就出現(xiàn)了。1922年，為了使電影審查在全國(guó)步調(diào)一致，曾任W. G.Harding（哈定，1865-1923）總統(tǒng)內(nèi)閣郵政大臣的Will H Hays（威廉·哈里森·海斯，1879-1954）攜手基督宗教團(tuán)體擬訂了《海斯法典》，并得到了Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America（MPPDA，美國(guó)電影制片人與發(fā)行人協(xié)會(huì)）的支持，該法典于1930年正式施行。由于只是行業(yè)自律公約，并非國(guó)會(huì)通過(guò)的正式法律，且嚴(yán)重束縛電影人的創(chuàng)作，《海斯法典》遭到強(qiáng)烈抵制，引發(fā)一系列訴訟且連連敗訴，1966年被廢止，被電影分級(jí)制度取代。此后，全球大多數(shù)國(guó)家取消了對(duì)電影的審查制度，改為電影分級(jí)制。

According to the U.S. Constitution (1787) especially and the First Amendment (1791), the U.S. government have never any department to administrate Radio, Film, Television, Journalism, Press and Publication, but the censorship of films by states has appeared since 1915. In 1922, in order to unify film censorship across the country, Will. H. Hays (1879-1954), who served as postmaster in the cabinet of President W. G. Harding (1865-1923), worked with Christian groups to formulate “The Hayes Code”, supported by the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), was officially implemented in 1930. Because it is only an industry self-discipline convention, not a formal law passed by U,S. Congress, and severely restricts the creation of filmmakers, “The Hays Code" was strongly resisted, triggering a series of lawsuits and losing in them one after one. It was abolished in 1966 and replaced by the film classification system. to date. Since then, most countries in the world have abolished the censorship system for movies and changed them to a movie rating system.

1945年，MPPDA更名為The Motion Picture Association of America（MPAA），系半官方社團(tuán)。由于得到全世界大多數(shù)國(guó)家的支持，2019年，MPAA刪除了其名稱中的America，更名為Motion Picture Association（MPA），至今。從MPAA到MPA，其中文譯名始終為“美國(guó)電影協(xié)會(huì)”，從未改變。不過(guò)，不少學(xué)人將其與The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences（AMPAS，美國(guó)電影藝術(shù)與科學(xué)學(xué)院）混淆。AMPAS是著名的美國(guó)奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)主辦機(jī)構(gòu)，成立于1927年，與電影審查、電影分級(jí)無(wú)關(guān)，無(wú)任何官方背景。

In 1945, MPPDA changed its name to The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), with a semi-official nature. Due to the support of most countries around the world, in 2019, MPAA deleted “America” in its name and changed its name to Motion Picture Association (MPA), which has been up to now. From MPAA to MPA, the Chinese translation of both has always been "美國(guó)電影協(xié)會(huì)" and has never changed. However, many scholars confuse it with The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS，美國(guó)電影藝術(shù)與科學(xué)學(xué)院). AMPAS is a well-known “OSCAR Academy Awards”’s organizer, established in 1927, which has nothing to do with both film censorship and film classification, moreover which has no official background.

盡管有一定的文化內(nèi)涵，但電影只是娛樂(lè)產(chǎn)品，不屬于新聞業(yè)。電影分級(jí)，乃全球大勢(shì)所趨。從出品人、制片人、發(fā)行人到編劇、導(dǎo)演、演員、攝影師等，電影人自覺(jué)分級(jí)更是責(zé)無(wú)旁貸，使命在肩。

Although there is some certain cultural connotation in it, motion picture/movie/film are only entertainment product, not belonging to the journalism industry. Movie rating is an inevitable global trend. From presenters, producers, distributors to screenwriters, directors, actors, photographers, etc., filmmakers should consciously rating themselves as duty-bound and mission on our shoulders.

宗教在美國(guó)日益邊緣化，愈發(fā)成為個(gè)人的一種生活習(xí)俗。不論中美，人們更關(guān)心今生與現(xiàn)實(shí)，從戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、天災(zāi)到反腐、就業(yè)，無(wú)不令人揪心。一首短小的流行歌曲可以針砭時(shí)弊，譏諷朝政，抒發(fā)民憤，排遣積怨，一座座宏偉的教堂卻無(wú)法懲治人間的罪惡與人性的殘缺。

Religion has become increasingly marginalized in USA, which continuously turns into an individual custom in life. Regardless in China or in USA, people are more concerned about this life and the reality. From wars and natural disasters to anti-corruption and employment, everything is worrying and discomforting. A short popular song can criticize the current malpractices of society, ridicule the state governor, express public outrage, and dispel people's grievancesa, but those magnificent churches can not punish sins in the world as well as not cure incompleteness of humanity.

8月25日

回到北京，滿載而歸。

Back to and arrive in Beijing, with a plenty of? achievement.

可見(jiàn)，2023暑期美國(guó)之行最大的收獲是與美國(guó)麻省理工學(xué)院出版社了達(dá)成了英文專著出版協(xié)議，正式啟動(dòng)了這一學(xué)術(shù)項(xiàng)目；其次是鞏固并加深了與美國(guó)南加州大學(xué)電影藝術(shù)學(xué)院的學(xué)術(shù)聯(lián)系；最后是從哈佛大學(xué)、加州大學(xué)洛杉磯分校（UCLA）、美國(guó)電影學(xué)院（AFI）、加州大學(xué)河濱分校（UCR）了解到一些前沿學(xué)術(shù)資訊。這些必將激勵(lì)并鼓勵(lì)楊新磊教授在學(xué)術(shù)探索之路上行穩(wěn)致遠(yuǎn)，永攀高峰！

It can be seen that the biggest achievement of the 2023 summer trip to the USA is that it has reached an English monograph publishing agreement with the MIT Press, then to officially launched this academic project. Secondly, the trip consolidates and deepens the academic connection with the School of Cinematic Arts (ASC) of USC. Finally, I learned some cutting-edge academic information from Harvard University, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), American Film Institute (AFI), University of California, Riverside (UCR). These will surely inspire and encourage Prof. Yangxinlei to make steady progress on the road of academic exploration, to climbing the peak forever!
