谣言与否，再过15天就见分晓。其实能与谭盾、David Foster和Andrea Bocelli三位大牌音乐人合作，本身已经是一个好的经验。【参见博文：张靓颖再次完美演绎《I Will Always Love You》】
《One World, One Dream》
《拥抱爱的梦想》
下面这篇文章里引用了靓颖的一句话：“I like jazz, blues, soul, and I want this music to use Chinese lyrics.”
英文歌是靓颖的强项 - 在中国的强项，但是始终英语是另一种语言，和音乐不一样。用中文唱出我们文化里缺少的音乐，我一直觉得这应该是靓颖的方向。很高兴知道靓颖也是同样的想法！
就凭这一点，加上自己的努力和天赐的嗓音，相信她成为华语歌坛新一代的领军人物绝不遥远。
希望靓颖能够给大家带来更多更好听的歌！

Singer Jane Zhang has her eye on the Olympic stage
By Silvia Sartori
TOKYO —
It’s not everyday a world leader invites you to his home. But during a visit to Tokyo, that’s exactly what happened to China’s Zhang Liangying, better known as Jane Zhang, who sang for Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda on the occasion. The singer from Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, was part of Chinese President Hu Jintao’s “warm spring” tour of Japan in May, where she had been designated Youth Cultural Ambassador thanks to her enormous popularity in her home country. On only her second visit to Japan, Zhang was actively helping promote cultural understanding and friendship between the youth of both countries through her music.
Just three years ago, she was a total unknown entering a TV competition in her homeland. But after 400 million people watched her in the final of the TV phenomenon that was “Supergirl,” where she delivered a string of stunning performances in English and Chinese, she is now an international jet-setting star. “Before I was just staying in my hometown, never going anywhere. After, I have been to many places,” she said.
Idol shows are much maligned in the West, but in a country whose pop music heritage is limited, it was a unique way to instantly reach across the enormous country. Zhang was quickly dubbed the “dolphin voice” due to her ability to sing in the whistle register - from D below middle C to G above soprano C. Since the show, she has marched onward, first reaching Japan’s shores in 2007 as a guest for the Miss China Pageant.
Attention to Zhang’s international potential is being mirrored by interest in China as a whole, particularly with the Olympics on the horizon. And Zhang may get a chance to be center stage. In collaboration with Andrea Bocelli, she has recorded “Embrace in Love and Dream,” favored to win the competition to open the ceremony. Thousands of singers submitted tracks, but hers, written by David Foster (producer of Céline Dion, Barbara Streisand & Madonna), is considered a standout.
“I never dreamt to sing with a singer like this,” she said. The winner will be announced on the day of the opening ceremony. “Chinese people have been awaiting the Olympics for years,” Zhang said. “It’s a dream of peace, friendship, love, understanding and communication among all different countries.”
With the huge fame she now enjoys among Chinese audiences, Zhang wishes to introduce new music genres and a new musical sensitivity in the Middle Kingdom. A fresh innovator, she would like to see a fast change in the Chinese music environment. “I like jazz, blues, soul, and I want this music to use Chinese lyrics.” It may not come as a surprise that her muse is Mariah Carey.
Zhang recalled how she grew up buying each of her albums and learning them faithfully one after the other. And of course Carey’s songs were her favorite repertoire at “Supergirl.” “But the judge said: ‘You can’t always sing Mariah!’” Other Western idols include Craig David, Eric Clapton and British soul singer Beverley Knight. “I sing them in my concerts,” Zhang said. “Songs like ‘Every Time You See Me Smile’ and ‘Black Butta.’”
Zhang also sang the theme song for the Chinese music drama “Impression West Lake,” which is composed by Japanese musician Kitaro and was released in June. This cooperation may just be the beginning of a wider debut in Japan. From the Middle Kingdom to the Land of the Rising Sun, the “dolphin voice” keeps enchanting audiences.

***共2部***
1. "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" (科幻/剧情，07/25/2008，PG-13，导演：Chris Carter， 领衔主演：David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson)
2. "Step Brothers" (喜剧，07/25/2008，R，导演：Adam McKay， 领衔主演：Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly)
和《The Dark Knight》的深刻寓意和自始至终丰富的剧情相比，同样星光璀璨的上一集《Batman Begins》(这个星期刚复习了一遍)俨然成了曾被高估的陪衬。《BB》剧情相对的浅显和杂乱远不及严格执行且错综复杂的《TDK》。大概因为片长原因（2个半小时），影院版的有相当多的细节都没有交代，我想今后出重剪的加长版本会使剧情脉路更加清晰，而不会由于部分转接生硬而反倒显得些微的冗长。不过，这一套蝙蝠侠继上一集再次“影射”中国，虽然是由于娱乐原因大可不必当真，但稍微还是有些不爽。
配角天团里，老面孔Caine/Oldman/Freeman我是完全没有问题。新双面人(Aaron Eckhart)的性格转变花了相当重的笔墨，然而转变结果却没能让我完全信服。究其原因大概是因为女主角Maggie Gyllenhaal（Heath的“断背友”Jake Gyllenhaal的姐姐）实在完全不符合我的审美观，总觉得她和Katie Holmes的那个漂亮得多的版本落差太大，让人一时半会接受不了。Maggie向下耷拉的眼角和充满老态的眼袋，实在难以相信The Joker所说的"Hello, Beautiful"是对她而言。纯粹个人喜好，勿怪。
从Mel Gibson的《The Patriot》开始认识Heath，记得只看过Halle Barry拿了影后的那部《Monster's Ball》和无脑抓鬼片《The Brothers Grimm》。他独挑大梁的《A Knight's Tale》和《The Four Feathers》我却都跳过没看，完全是因为当时觉得他只是一个靠脸蛋吃饭的小生。而极少扮演反派的Heath这次对Joker的全新诠释，则让人完全沉醉于他的“罪恶”之中。【三甲海报】
这首意境歌声都很美的歌其实流传了有一年了吧，这两天正式的MV才出来。靓颖唱这种古典韵味浓的歌非常适合，类似的还有那首曾经惊为天人的《天下无双》。

综合评价：C+
看着这张颇倒胃口的海报，一贯自命清高的我（咳咳）本来是绝对不会花一个半小时在这部电影上的。今天看了纯属偶然。
海报如此乱七八糟如此轻浮大概是宣传的需要吧 - 其实严格的讲这应该是部文艺片，说白了就是给文艺青年们看了以后写散文用的，所以指望看到无厘头、无脑笑话的兄弟姐妹在花时间之前要慎重。
片子的剪辑依然像一般的香港电影一样相当生涩，故事的开始更是完全不知所云。不过从主线浮出（曾志伟出场）开始，虽然非常没有悬念，但是依旧相当煽情。而各条副线松松垮垮，也许是黄导演率性所为吧。
我已经过了电影中的那些年轻人的年纪，而这部充满着他们梦想、迷失、彷徨和爱的电影却让我感动不已。他们在现实生活前近乎天真和幼稚的举动，让我看到了以前真实的自己。背景、故事虽不同，但何尝不是我们所有人一一经过的？
我对片子的质量持保留态度，但还是推荐这个简单的关于爱的故事。同为黄真真导演的《六楼后座》的第一部早就听说过，我相信那应该有一个更棒的故事。
综合评价：C+
由于恐怖对象相对较为新颖，所以这是一个很好的题材，然而拍出的电影却是一般。
应该提一下，小说作者Scott B. Smith在十年前写了著名的奥斯卡提名剧本《A Simple Plan》：这部悬疑/惊悚电影和《No Country for Old Men》一样是关于来历不明的巨款。《The Ruins》是他的第二部小说/剧本。
此片本应惊悚与恐怖并重，却完全不能逃脱美国恐怖电影的巢臼，花了相当的笔墨在GORE（血腥）和音效/视觉恐怖上 - 还是为了讨好美国观众的观赏习惯。
部分画面在洞里进行，但是洞外大部分时间光线过亮，幽闭感完全不突出，刺骨的心理恐怖并未得到有力地体现。都是一群年轻人去未知地探险，《The Ruins》和去年类似题材(其实恐怖主题差不少)的经典《The Descent》(A; 黑暗中渐走渐强的摄人鼓点)的恐怖气氛塑造相比，实在不可同日而语。
