Daniel Wu：A handsome man of the world

Loyal fans of the hit RPG "World of Warcraft" are anxious to see its movie adaptation happening on June 10, 2016. And while they`re still waiting for the movie to finally hit theaters, director Duncan Jones gladly talked about his highly anticipated movie.

改编自热门角色扮演游戏的同名电影《魔兽世界》将于2016年6月10日与大家见面，游戏忠实粉丝们翘首期盼电影上映的同时，导演邓肯?琼斯十分高兴地（与大家）分享了这部寄予很高期待的电影（的故事）。

While he talked about the progress of the film during an interview with 2P, Jones also discussed characters in "WOW." In his efforts to bring justice to the well-loved game, Jones reportedly asked great actors to portray the characters in the movie. One of them is Daniel Wu, whom he can`t stop singing praises for amazingly portraying his character Gul`dan, the leader of the Orcs.

此前，琼斯接受2P游戏网采访时谈到了该电影的制作进展，以及《魔兽世界》中的角色。为了拍好这部电影，导演邀请了很多著名演员前来助阵。这其中就包括吴彦祖，他在影片中扮演兽人领袖古尔丹。导演对吴彦祖的表现赞赏有加。

Interviewer: Why choose Daniel to star Gul`dan? You know he`s such a handsome man in the eyes of Chinese audience, especially female audience.

记者：为什么选择吴彦祖出演古尔丹呢？你知道，在中国观众，尤其是女性观众的眼中，吴彦祖实在太帅了！

Jones: Daniel is a handsome man in any part of the world! I am fortunate I married my wife before she had a chance to meet him, or maybe she would have tried to marry him! He is not just good looking though. He is incredibly talented and hard working.

琼斯：吴彦祖简直帅遍全球！我很庆幸，我老婆在遇见吴彦祖之前就和我结婚了，不然她可能会想嫁给他！吴彦祖不仅长得好看，还很有天分，工作也很努力。

In all of my films, I try to do two things; cast the strongest actors I can find for the part, and offer each actor something new, something they have not had the chance to do before, in a role that excites them. I was very fortunate that Daniel loved the crazy idea I had for him! He plays the handsome lead so much, that for him, this was something very different!

在我所有的影片中，我都试着去做两件事：为影片挑选最棒的演员，并为他们提供新的东西，一些他们从前没有机会接触到的，能够使他们兴奋的东西。幸运的是，吴彦祖很喜欢这个疯狂的主意。他此前出演过太多帅气的角色，新角色会大不相同！

Interviewer: How do you think of Daniel`s acting? How similar is he going to be like Gul`dan in the video game?

记者：您怎样看待吴彦祖的表演？他饰演的古尔丹，和游戏里面的很相似吗？

Jones: Daniel has definitely put his own stamp on the character… and that is how it should be. You don`t hire great actors to crush their individuality by forcing them into a mould you have in mind! You find a way to blend the character and the man, and get a performance that is rooted in something that is honest to them.

琼斯：吴彦祖为角色加上了自己的标签……这一点理应如此。你不能强迫演员按照你脑中的模式去演戏，那样就破坏了他们自己的个性。我们应该找出一个方法，可以很好的将角色和演员结合起来，让他们充分地发挥自我。

But of course, there is a lot of expectation for Warcraft, and an audience that has strong ideas on who and what the characters should be. This is a good challenge, and one I know Daniel was excited to take up! He had one very important fan of the game to impress; his wife! She has played Warcraft for a long time, and was very serious that he gets Gul’dan just right!

但是，对《魔兽世界》有很高的期望值也理所应当，观众对角色和演员有自己的理解也很正常。这是一次很好的挑战，吴彦祖也乐于接受这一挑战。同时，他还需要去打动《魔兽世界》的一名重要粉丝——他的太太。他太太是这个游戏的老玩家，肯定会对吴彦祖扮演古尔丹的戏份十分重视。

And while fans are worried that Daniel Wu won`t have too much exposure or importance in "Warcraft" movie, Duncan Jones assured fans that it`s not going to be the case, instead Wu is such an important character in the game that he is "pivotal" in the story.

有粉丝担心，吴彦祖在影片中的戏份不会太多，角色不太重要。对此，导演琼斯向粉丝保证，吴彦祖的角色很重要，是整个故事的关键人物。

"I understand the concern..." He said. "But please do not worry. Gul`dan is a central character, who is pivotal to the film`s story! You will see a lot of him, but... you will not see Daniel Wu in the way you expect!"

“我了解大家的顾虑。”琼斯表示，“但是不要担心，古尔丹是电影的核心角色，对整个故事至关重要。他会在片中经常出现，只不过不是你们想象的那样罢了！”
