好莱坞梦想现在转移到中国了Hollywood dreams move to China.doc

-------------译者：囫囵吞草-------------BEIJING — He went to Hollywood High, his mother is a scriptwriter and his father an actor. Nate Boyd seemed destined to join the L.A. film industry, but after the circus of auditioning while he was in high school, he grew disillusioned. Id queue up with 300 people for one small part. The casting directors would look at five people at a time. You were just a number, he recalls. A couple of ad jobs and a few roles in student films aside, Boyds acting career seemed over before it had begun.来自北京的报道——他曾在Hollywood High就读，母亲是编剧，父亲是演员。Nate Boyd似乎注定要投身于洛杉矶的电影业，可是还是高中生的他在一轮试镜之后，伤不起的帅哥大失所望。“我排在300人的队伍里，就为了那么一小会。星探一次会同时审看5个人。你就是一个号码，”他回忆说。除了几个广告活，在习作影片里出演不多的几个角色，Boyd的演员生涯还未展开就似乎结束了。That was before he came to China. In 2006, while on an exchange program at Beijing University, he was asked to play a missionary in a reenactment scene for a documentary.

Now living in Beijing, the 30-year-old commands a rate of $1,200 a day, for mostly Mandarin-speaking roles in Chinese television dramas. As an increasing number of Sino-American co-productions are formed, he is landing more English-speaking parts in feature films. In Jackie Chans Chinese Zodiac, due late this year, he plays an auctioneer, and he recently shot a scene alongside Adrien Brody for 1942, in post-production.Boyd的演员事业自此开始了长途跋涉。目前在北京，30岁的年纪，一天可挣到的薪酬是1200美元，大多数说汉语的电视演员就是这个水平。中美合作日渐增强的情况下，他正在一些大腕加盟的电影里出演英语角色。今年年末，将会上映成龙的“中国生肖（Chinese Zodiac）”，Boyd在里面出演拍卖师，就在近期不久，在一次后期制作过程中，他与Adrien Brody（注：《钢琴家》主演）同场献技。Hes joined a lively community of ambitious showbiz expats tilling fertile soil here. Cooperation between the Chinese and American film industries has snowball
