这个暑期档，一部有史以来篇幅最长（168分钟）的国产动画电影热映，它以特殊的方式打开了唐朝那个瑰丽而浪漫的朝代，也唤起观众对语文课本里那一首首必背唐诗的记忆——这就是由追光动画出品的动画电影《长安三万里》，该片于7月8日正式公映，上映14天，截至7月21日晚，累计票房达9.5亿（猫眼专业版）。目前该片豆瓣评分高达8.2分。Named after the ancient city of Xi’an in Shaanxi province, which served as the capital of the Tang Dynasty for over 280 years, the film epic spans 168 minutes — the longest runtime of any Chinese animated movie — and brings to life some of the most iconic figures in Chinese literary history. Since its release on July 8, the movie has garnered a rating of 8.2 out of ten on Douban, one of the country’s largest review aggregators, solidifying its position as one of the most acclaimed animated blockbusters of the summer season.

It showcases the bustling streets of ancient Chang’an, the vibrant and prosperous city of Yangzhou, as well as the harsh and snowy borderlands in northwestern China. 同时，电影精准地捕捉到了唐朝自由奔放的本质。例如，殿试状元一举夺魁后，会骑着骏马，在长安里的宅子里摘下最为芬芳之花。 The movie also beautifully captures the free-spirited nature of the Tang Dynasty. For instance, in the national civil service examination, the highest achievers are granted the privilege to ride magnificent horses and pluck the most exquisite flower from any residence in the capital city. 诗人们则经常造访当地的酒馆，寻欢作乐，在异域舞女迷人舞姿和悠扬歌声的陪伴里寻求一瞬泉涌的灵感。 Additionally, poets would visit local taverns for moments of inspiration, where they would revel in the company of foreign dancers, enjoying their captivating movements and melodious singing, while enjoying wine and crafting verses of poetry. 
高适（图源：《长安三万里》剧照） 《长安三万里》的片名来自明代陈子龙《从军行》中的“梦到长安三万里，海风吹断碛西头”。这个片名也点出了影片主题：“长安”代表高适、李白等人心中的“理想之地”，而“三万里”是他们与理想之间的距离。影片中，高适对李白说：“你是谪仙人，要回天上。我是世间人，我在世间盘桓。” 片中一共出现了48首经典的唐诗佳句，其中包括“床前明月光，疑是地上霜”“黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回”“莫愁前路无知己，天下谁人不识君”等耳熟能详的诗句。The film integrates an epic depiction of the dynasty's evolution and the poets' individual journeys with elements of profound Chinese traditional culture, enriching the narrative with 48 beautiful ancient poems.为了精准传递唐诗的韵味和美感，《长安三万里》邀请了澳大利亚畅销书作家、评论家贾佩琳（Linda Jaivin）翻译影片台词。贾佩琳深耕中英文化领域四十余年，曾为《霸王别姬》《梅兰芳》《英雄》《东邪西毒》《悲情城市》等中文影片完成英文字幕翻译工作。 In order to accurately convey the glamour of Tang poetry and better translate the cultural context embedded in the dialogue, the production team invited Linda Jaivin, an Australian sinologist, to assist with the translation process. Linda Jaivin has been deeply engaged in Chinese and English culture for more than 40 years and has translated many famous Chinese films, such as Farewell My Concubine, Forever Enthralled, Hero, Ashes of Time, and A City of Sadness. 制片人宋依依表示，隽永优美的诗句与富有深意的地名是此片翻译的难点，需要深思熟虑，精益求精。 “Jaivin's translation work began in the first half of last year. Despite her already extensive knowledge of Chinese culture, she found some poetry lines and place names to be quite challenging, requiring careful consideration and repeated contemplation,” says Song Yiyi, the movie’s producer. 让我们来欣赏下影片中李白《将进酒》的精彩翻译吧： Can you see the Yellow River decanting from the skyAnd racing to the sea never to return?Can you see the grief of white hair in the mirrorsAs dawn's black silk turns to evening snow?When life goes well, be joyousNever show the moon an empty cupHeaven gave me the talent for a reasonSpend now, riches return in seasonStew the lamb, prepare the ox, let us feastTonight we'll drink three hundred cups at leastMaster Cen, Master DanqiuDrink and don't put down your cupsBells and jades are not so preciousAncient sages leave no nameIt’s great drinkers who enjoy great fameAt the table of Prince Chen of oldHosts shouldn't fret over costs— Buy more wine and fill those cupsFine horses, expensive robes— Tell the servant to sell these for wineWe’ll banish sorrow from this world

▲ 《将进酒》特别视频 这段3分多钟的蒙太奇制作用了一年多的时间。其中祥云的线条和色彩来自古代壁画。创作者运用特效软件进行精细的三维建模使其立体化，再深入修饰形成细腻层次，并通过计算、模拟产生真实的气体旋转、流动效果，从而将奇妙的幻想构建为真实可感的景观。作为全片制作难度最高的一场戏，《长安三万里》导演谢君伟透露整个项目的制作周期共3年，《将进酒》的制作时间跨度就接近两年。谢君伟还提到，当时他偶尔在家里电脑看《将进酒》，结果孩子在旁边特别兴奋。“《将进酒》本来是高中课本上的内容，但可能是我妻子念给他听过，他能背下来前面那一小段。所以我跟我儿子两代人，通过文化达成了连接，这就是文化的传递。”谢君伟说，有机会把李白、杜甫、王维等大唐诗人的故事用动画的形式展示给下一代，这对于他来说是一份莫大的幸福。同为该片导演的邹靖则表示，很喜欢青年李白和高适在阳光下策马奔腾的那一段，这个段落让人感受到了一种无比的自信，以及一种“大鹏一日同风起，扶摇直上九万里”的气概。“我觉得那是无数心怀志向的少年应该有的样子。”
