Abstract

Film criticism in China has been changing due to a growing fan community and their active participation in online film reviewing. While social media has democratized who can write reviews, there remain distinct hierarchies of professional and amateur reviewers. Drawing upon Henry Jenkins’ (2006b) concept of “knowledge community” and Alex Bruns’ “produsage” model (2008), this article will explore how Chinese film fans use translation to shape the online reception of a film and participate in the debates over film criticism in the digital age. Through a case study of the Chinese translations of an English review of The Wandering Earth (2019), a Chinese sci-fi blockbuster, it argues that translation, as an alternative form of self-expression, constitutes both an important cinematic experience for fans and a response by grassroots consumers to the existing reviewing system influenced by media capital.

中国的影迷翻译和影评

由于粉丝群体的不断壮大以及他们积极参与在线影评，中国的电影评论已经发生了变化。虽然社交媒体让写评论的人变得大众化，但专业和业余评论者之间仍然存在明显的等级关系。本文将借鉴亨利·詹金斯(2006b)的“知识社区”概念和亚历克斯·布伦斯的“产品使用”模型(2008)，探讨中国影迷如何利用翻译来塑造电影的在线接受，并参与数字时代电影评论的辩论。本文以中国科幻大片《流浪地球》(2019)英文评论的汉译为例，认为翻译作为一种自我表达的替代形式，既是影迷的重要观影体验，也是草根消费者对受媒体资本影响的现行评论体系的回应。
