1. Leading man 男一号 Wang Jianlin, China’s richest man, wants to be a movie mogul Sep 28th 2013 |From The Economist the print edition 中国首富王健林想成为电影大亨 IT IS not exactly the most glamorous place to build a film studio. Qingdao, a sooty industrial port along China’s north-eastern coast that was once colonised by the Germans, is better known as the home of Haier, the world’s biggest maker of domestic appliances, and Tsingtao, a leading Chinese brewery, than as a crucible of the creative arts. And yet this is where the country’s richest man is building China’s answer to Hollywood. 青岛不是一个修建电影拍摄基地最富魅力的理想之地， 它是一座位于中国东北的海滨工业港口城市，烟尘遍地，曾一度沦为德国的殖民地。青岛出名并非因为它是一个创新艺术的锤炼之地，而是因为海尔和青岛啤酒公司的总部均设于此。前者是全球最大的家用电器生产商，后者是一家首屈一指的啤酒酿造公司。 Wang Jianlin, the boss of Dalian Wanda, a Chinese multinational that made its money in the property business, clearly wants to be a media mogul. Last year his firm acquired AMC Theaters, an American cinema chain, for $2.6 billion. In June it also agreed to buy Sunseeker, a British yacht-maker whose sleek craft have featured in James Bond films. He has just made a $20m donation to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which runs the Oscars award ceremonies. 万达集团是中国一家房地产跨国公司，作为该集团的老总，王健林很显然想成为媒体大亨。去年他的公司用26亿收购了美国连锁电影院ACM电影院。同年6月同意收购英国的一个游艇制造商——Sunseeker,该制作商提供的游艇成为了007系列电影的经典。他还给动画艺术与科学实验学院捐了两千万美元，作为奥斯卡颁奖典礼的筹办资金。 But his boldest move came at a red-carpet ceremony in Qingdao on September 22nd featuring such Hollywood stars as Nicole Kidman, Leonardo DiCaprio, John Travolta and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Mr Wang announced plans to build a 50 billion yuan ($8.2 billion) entertainment complex. The massive project, dubbed the Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis, would include 20 film studios, cinemas, a theme park, hotels and wax museums. If all goes to plan, it will be open by mid-2017. （1） 但他最大胆的举措在于9月22日在青岛举办的那场隆重的典礼，好莱坞众星出席了典礼，有妮可·基德曼、莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥、约翰·特拉沃尔塔、凯瑟琳·泽塔琼斯等。王健林宣称将花五百亿人民币来建一个娱乐中心，这项被冠予“青岛东方电影都市”的巨大工程，包括20间电影制作室、电影院、一个主题公园、酒店和蜡像馆。如果一切按计划进行，到2017年中期就可
