但如果我们讨论的是与比我们

17
46542

如果我们今天专门讨论联系的话，
01:01
then I know my story is only possible
18
49458
2601
那么我知道我的故事
之所以成为了可能，

01:04
because of a collection of connections
that happened throughout my life,

19
52083
3935
是因为我生命中发生的一系列联系，
01:08
and so hopefully by telling
a little bit of my story,

20
56042
2684
我希望通过讲述我的一点亲身经历，

it will help someone else find their path

我的故事始于

Yes, those who know.

是的，有些人知道。
01:25
It was a magical magazine of dreams
26
73542
3434
它是一本关于梦想的神奇杂志，
01:29
and had things in there
that you knew could not possibly exist,
that you knew could not possibly exist,
27
77000
3851
那里有你从未想到会存在的东西，
01:32
but it was right there.

1268
但它就在那里。
你可以订购上面的产品，
都会邮寄过来。
都会邮寄过来。
01:34
You could order it -- come in the mail.
29
82167
1858
01:36
And some things that probably
should have never existed,

30
84049
2635
一些可能从来不存在的东西，
比如“格雷戈里”，一个栩栩如生
的便携式人体模型，

01:38
like "Gregory," a lifelike,
portable mannequin

01:41
who deters crime by his strong,
masculine appearance.
masculine appearance.
32
89958
2893
以强壮的男子气概来阻止犯罪。
这是真——
01:44
This is a real --

92875
1268
（笑声）
01:46
(Laughter)
34
94167

35
95208
1601
（笑声）
01:48

You could connect
all your VHS players together

你可以把你的VHS播放器
全部连接起来，

剪辑东西，
于是我说服了父母买给我。
02:00
so I called my parents
and convinced them to buy this for me.
and convinced them to buy this for me.
41
108708
2893
但在我继续前，
02:03
But before I get into that,
42
111625
1351
让我给你们讲讲我的父母。
02:05
let me give you a little rundown
about my parents.
about my parents.

02:07
They came to the United States
when they were young,

44
115375
2601
他们在年轻时来到美国，
02:10
they're from Taiwan in China
45
118000
1684
他们分别来自台湾和中国大陆，
02:11
and they settled
in Los Altos, California --

并在加州 Los Altos 市安居下来——
02:14
the Silicon Valley
before the Silicon Valley --

47
122625
2351
那里是硅谷诞生前的硅谷——
02:17
and they started a restaurant
called Chef Chu's.

48
125000
3601
他们开了一家名叫
“ Chef Chu's”的餐厅。
“ Chef Chu's”的餐厅。
02:20
50 years later, today,
they still work at the restaurant,

49
128625
2726
50年后的今天，餐厅还在，
他们仍然在那里工作，
02:23
they're still there,
50
131375
1268
我就在那长大，这很棒。
02:24
and I grew up there, so it was great.
51
132667
1851
02:26
Talk about connection --
this place was a hub of connection.
this place was a hub of connection.
52
134542
2892
谈到联系——这个地方是联系的港湾。
02:29
People coming there to celebrate

141917
1267
吃东西，喝东西——
02:35

55
143208
1268
联系。
我就在那样的环境中长大。
02:36
And I got to grow up in that environment.
56
144500
1976
02:38
And my parents always said America
is the greatest place in the world.
is the greatest place in the world.
57
146500
3351
我父母总说，美国是
世界上最伟大的地方。
世界上最伟大的地方。
你可以——
02:41
You can --
58
149875
1268
如果你有梦想，
可以通过努力工作来实现。

02:43
if you love anything, you can work hard
and you can accomplish anything you want.
and you can accomplish anything you want.
59
151167
3851
02:47
So, they raised five all-American kids.
60
155042
3517
他们抚养了五个
美国土生土长的孩子。
美国土生土长的孩子。
02:50
I am the youngest --
61
158583
1310
我是最小的——
那个闭眼睛的就是我——
02:51
you can see I'm the one
with the eyes closed there --
with the eyes closed there --
62
159917
3392
02:55
and they named actually my sister and I,
Jennifer and Jonathan,
Jennifer and Jonathan,
63
163333
3060
并且他们给妹妹和我
取名为詹妮弗和乔纳森，
取名为詹妮弗和乔纳森，
02:58
after Jennifer and Jonathan Hart
from that TV show "Hart to Hart."
from that TV show "Hart to Hart."
64
166417
3267
以电视剧《Hart to Hart》中
的詹妮弗和乔纳森·哈特的名字命名。
的詹妮弗和乔纳森·哈特的名字命名。
03:01
(Laughter)
65
169708
2185
（笑声）
03:03
So that's how much
they loved America, apparently.
they loved America, apparently.
66
171917
3101
显然，他们是如此热爱美国。
03:07
And they thought
that we were The Kennedys --
that we were The Kennedys --
67
175042
2392
他们还把我们当作
《肯尼迪家族》的剧中人物——
《肯尼迪家族》的剧中人物——
尤其是我妈妈——
03:09
my mom specifically --
68
177458
1268
所以她总是让我们穿相似的衣服，
03:10
so she dressed us up
all the time like each other
all the time like each other
69
178750
2351
03:13
and she put us in etiquette classes
and ballroom dance classes,
and ballroom dance classes,
70
181125
3518
还让我们上礼仪课
和交谊舞课，
和交谊舞课，
03:16
made sure that we had
the right dental plan --
the right dental plan --
71
184667
3892
确保我们定期看牙医——
03:20
(Laughter)
72
188583
1310
（笑声）
03:21
This is a real picture of me.
That is not fake.
That is not fake.
73
189917
2309
这是一张我的真实照片，没有造假。
03:24
Thank God for that one.
74
192250
1458
感谢老天。
03:26
And I was in charge of the video camera
every time we went on vacations,
every time we went on vacations,
75
194500
3476
每次度假的时候，
我都负责录像，
我都负责录像，
03:30
so I would collect all these videos
and had nothing to do with it.
and had nothing to do with it.
76
198000
3143
我会收集所有这些视频，
不做任何后期处理。
不做任何后期处理。
03:33
Thus, the Sima Video Ed/it 2.
77
201167
3226
这是 Sima Video Ed/it 2。
03:36
I convinced them to get it for me,
78
204417
1684
我说服他们给我买了一台，
03:38
and I spent all night
trying to wrangle all the VCRs
trying to wrangle all the VCRs
79
206125
3268
我花了整个晚上把
兄弟和姐妹房间的
兄弟和姐妹房间的
03:41
from my brother's and sister's room,
tangled in wires,
tangled in wires,
80
209417
2559
所有录像机都连接起来，
03:44
and now I had something to show them.
81
212000
1809
现在我有东西可以给他们展示了。
所以有天晚上，
我把他们带到客厅，
我把他们带到客厅，
03:45
So I brought them
into the living room one night,
into the living room one night,
82
213833
2310
大约是在1991年的一天，
03:48
it was probably 1991,
somewhere around there,
somewhere around there,
83
216167
2142
我让他们在客厅坐下来——
03:50
and I sit them down in the living room --
84
218333
2018
03:52
my heart was pounding,
my breaths were deep --
my breaths were deep --
85
220375
2351
我的心砰砰直跳，呼吸急促——
03:54
sort of like right now --
86
222750
1518
有点像现在——
03:56
and I pressed play
87
224292
1476
我按下了播放键，
03:57
and something extraordinary
happened actually.
happened actually.
88
225792
3892
一些特别的事情发生了。
04:01
They cried.
89
229708
1250
他们哭了。
04:03
And cried.
90
231583
1268
哭个不停。
他们哭不是因为这是最棒
的家庭视频合集——
的家庭视频合集——
04:04
They cried not because it was
the most amazing home video edit ever --
the most amazing home video edit ever --
91
232875
3351
04:08
although it was pretty good --
92
236250
1518
尽管它的确非常棒——
04:09
(Laughter)
93
237792
976
（笑声）
04:10
but because they saw our family
as a normal family that fit in
as a normal family that fit in
94
238792
5434
而是因为他们看到我们这个
普通家庭可以融入
普通家庭可以融入
04:16
and belonged on the screen
in front of them,
in front of them,
95
244250
2143
和属于他们前面的屏幕，
04:18
just like the movies that they worshipped
and the TV shows that they named us after.
and the TV shows that they named us after.
96
246417
4934
就如他们喜爱的电影和他们
用来给我们起名字的电视剧。
用来给我们起名字的电视剧。
04:23
I remember as the youngest
of these five kids
of these five kids
97
251375
2351
我记得作为这五个小孩中
最小的一个，
最小的一个，
04:25
feeling heard for the first time.
98
253750
1976
我感到第一次被听到。
04:27
There was this place
where all these things in my head
where all these things in my head
99
255750
2601
有个地方，我脑海中的所有东西
04:30
could go into the great, electric
somewhere-out-there and exist and escape,
somewhere-out-there and exist and escape,
100
258375
3559
可以进入这个伟大，令人兴奋，
存在和逃离的地方，
存在和逃离的地方，
我知道从此刻起，
04:33
and I knew from this moment on,
101
261958
1560
我余生都想从事这方面的工作，
04:35
I wanted to do this
for the rest of my life,
for the rest of my life,
102
263542
2142
不管能否得到报酬。
04:37
whether I was going
to get paid for it or not.
to get paid for it or not.
103
265708
2185
我有这种激情，
现在我需要一些工具，
现在我需要一些工具，
04:39
So I had this passion
and now I needed some tools,
and now I needed some tools,
104
267917
2392
04:42
and my dad went to work.
105
270333
1268
我父亲在饭店
04:43
He continued to brag
about my home video editing skills
about my home video editing skills
106
271625
3351
不断向顾客吹嘘我的
04:47
to the customers at Chef Chu's,
107
275000
1934
家庭视频编辑技术，
04:48
and luckily this is the Silicon Valley,
108
276958
2143
幸运的是，这里是硅谷，
04:51
so they're working on stuff,
hardware and software --
hardware and software --
109
279125
2851
所以人们都在从事硬件
和软件方面的工作——
和软件方面的工作——
04:54
these are all engineers.
110
282000
1351
这里全是工程师。
04:55
And they offered to give me things
for digital video editing.
for digital video editing.
111
283375
3893
于是，他们决定向我提供
数字视频编辑的工具。
数字视频编辑的工具。
04:59
This is like the mid-'90s, early '90's,
112
287292
2642
当时是在 90 年代早中期，
05:01
where this stuff didn't exist
for kids like me.
for kids like me.
113
289958
2810
这些东西对于像我这样
的孩子来说还不存在。
的孩子来说还不存在。
05:04
So I'd get this beta software
and hardware from places like HP and Sun
and hardware from places like HP and Sun
114
292792
4309
于是我拿到了来自惠普和太阳微系统公司
和在 Adobe 的拉塞尔布朗
和在 Adobe 的拉塞尔布朗
05:09
and Russell Brown at Adobe.
115
297125
2893
这些地方的测试软件。
05:12
And I had no manual,
116
300042
1684
我没有使用手册，
05:13
so I'd figure it out
and I fell in love with it even more.
and I fell in love with it even more.
117
301750
2809
但是我最后搞清楚了，
也更加热爱这方面的东西了。
也更加热爱这方面的东西了。
05:16
I went to USC School of Cinematic Arts
and started to go there,
and started to go there,
118
304583
3685
后来我考入了南加州大学
电影艺术学院，以此为起点，
电影艺术学院，以此为起点，
05:20
and my mom and dad would always
call me randomly and remind me

119
308292
4184
我的父母打电话给我，不时提醒我，
05:24
that I've got to do movies
about my Chinese heritage.

120
312500
4143
要拍一部关于我的
中国传统的电影。

05:28
That China was going to be
a huge market for movies one day.
a huge market for movies one day.
121
316667
3309
中国有天将会成为电影的大市场。
05:32
I was like, "Yeah right, guys".
122
320000
1684
我说，“说的没错。”
05:33
(Laughter)
123
321708
1435
（笑声）
05:35
Always listen to your parents.
124
323167
1517
一定要听父母的话。
05:36
(Laughter)
125
324708
3226
（笑声）
05:39
I wanted to be Zemeckis,
Lucas and Spielberg.
Lucas and Spielberg.
126
327958
2810
我想成为泽米吉斯、
卢卡斯和斯皮尔伯格。
卢卡斯和斯皮尔伯格。
05:42
The last thing I wanted to talk about
was my own cultural identity,
was my own cultural identity,
127
330792
3226
最后才会考虑
我的文化认同，
我的文化认同，
05:46
my ethnicity.
128
334042
1642
我的种族。
05:47
And honestly, I had no one else to talk --
129
335708
2018
坦诚讲，我没有其他人可以交流——
05:49
there was no one at school
that I could really open up to,
that I could really open up to,
130
337750
2809
在学校没人可以让我开诚布公，
即便有，我应该说什么？
05:52
and even if I did, like, what would I say?
131
340583
2000
05:54
So I ignored it
and I moved on with my life.
and I moved on with my life.
132
342607
2244
于是我忽略了这个问题，
继续我的生活。
继续我的生活。
05:56
Cut to 15 years later,
133
344875
2018
15 年后，
05:58
I made it in Hollywood.
134
346917
1267
我终于有机会展露头脚。
我被斯皮尔伯格发现，
06:00
I got discovered by Spielberg,
135
348208
1643
06:01
I worked with The Rock
and Bruce Willis and Justin Bieber.
and Bruce Willis and Justin Bieber.
136
349875
3643
我和《勇闯夺命岛》，布鲁斯·威利斯
和贾斯汀·比伯合作过。
和贾斯汀·比伯合作过。
06:05
I even came to the TED stage
to present my dance company LXD,
to present my dance company LXD,
137
353542
4476
我甚至来到 TED 演讲，
介绍我的舞团公司 LXD，
介绍我的舞团公司 LXD，
06:10
and it was great.
138
358042
1476
这段经历很棒。
06:11
And then a couple years ago,
139
359542
1392
然而几年前，
06:12
I felt a little bit lost, creatively.
140
360958
2042
我在创新方面感到有些迷茫。
06:16
The engine was going down a little bit,
141
364000
1893
我渐渐失去了动力，
06:17
and I got a sign ...
142
365917
1375
并且我…
06:20
I heard from voices from the sky ...
143
368417
1875
我听到来自天空的声音…
06:23
or more it was like, birds.
144
371417
1851
或者有点像鸟儿。
06:25
OK, fine, it was Twitter.
145
373292
1309
好吧，其实是推特。
06:26
And Twitter --
146
374625
1268
并且推特——
06:27
(Laughter)
147
375917
1267
（笑声）
06:29
It was Constance Wu on Twitter,
148
377208
1477
这是康斯坦斯·吴在推特上，
06:30
it was Daniel Dae Kim,
149
378709
1934
这是丹尼尔·金大中，
06:32
it was Jenny Yang, who's here today,
150
380667
2309
是杨珍妮，她今天也来了，
06:35
it was Alan Yang --
151
383000
1268
这是杨艾伦——
所有这些人都在写他们
06:36
all of these people
who were writing their frustrations
who were writing their frustrations
152
384292
3309
06:39
with representation in Hollywood.
153
387625
2726
对在好莱坞的表现的不满。
06:42
And it really hit me.
154
390375
1351
这真是击中了我。
06:43
I thought these things
but never really registered --
but never really registered --
155
391750
2559
我想过这些东西，
但从来没有真正意识到——
但从来没有真正意识到——
06:46
I was really focused on --
156
394333
1310
我聚焦在——
06:47
and I felt lucky to be working,
157
395667
1559
能够工作，让我感到幸运，
06:49
and so then I realized --
158
397250
1393
然后我意识到——
06:50
yeah, what is wrong with Hollywood?
159
398667
1726
好莱坞出什么问题了？
06:52
Why aren't they doing this?
160
400417
1351
他们为什么不这样做？
06:53
And then I looked at myself in the mirror
and realized I am Hollywood.
and realized I am Hollywood.
161
401792
3934
然后我看着镜子中的我，
并且意识到我是个好莱坞人。
并且意识到我是个好莱坞人。
06:57
I literally --
162
405750
1268
我真的——
06:59
I popped my collar before I came out here,
163
407042
2059
我来这里之前就竖起了衣领，
07:01
that's how Hollywood I am.
164
409125
1309
我就是这么好莱坞。
07:02
(Laughter)
165
410458
1018
（笑声）
07:03
Is it still up? OK, good.
166
411500
1976
它现在仍然竖着吗？很好。
07:05
(Applause)
167
413500
1500
（鼓掌）
07:08
For all these years I felt
I had been given so much,
I had been given so much,
168
416292
2809
这些年，我感到
被给予了太多东西，
被给予了太多东西，
07:11
and what was I giving back
to the film business that I loved?
to the film business that I loved?
169
419125
4268
我能给我热爱的电影行业什么？
07:15
I felt lucky to be here,
170
423417
1309
我很荣幸来到这里，
07:16
but at this moment, I realized
that I was not just lucky to be here,
that I was not just lucky to be here,
171
424750
3226
但此刻，我意识到
我不仅只是因为幸运而来到这里，
我不仅只是因为幸运而来到这里，
我也有权来这里。
07:20
I had the right to be here.
172
428000
1601
07:21
No, I earned the right to be here.
173
429625
1684
不，我赢得了来这里的权利。
所有这些无眠的夜晚，
周五错过的那些派对，
周五错过的那些派对，
07:23
All those sleepless nights,
all those parties I missed on Fridays,
all those parties I missed on Fridays,
174
431333
3185
07:26
every friend and girlfriend I lost
because I was editing --
because I was editing --
175
434542
3517
由于编辑工作而错过的
每个朋友和姑娘——
每个朋友和姑娘——
07:30
I earned the right to be here not just
to have a voice but to say something,
to have a voice but to say something,
176
438083
3851
我赢得了来这的权利，
不是为了发声，而是去说一些东西，
不是为了发声，而是去说一些东西，
07:33
and say something important,
177
441958
1393
去说一些重要的东西，
07:35
and I had, actually, the power --
178
443375
2018
我其实有能力——
07:37
the superpower to change things
if I really, really wanted to.
if I really, really wanted to.
179
445417
3958
有超能力去改变事情，
如果我真的想去做。
如果我真的想去做。
07:42
When you try to tell
stories about yourself
stories about yourself
180
450375
3059
当你试图讲你自己
07:45
and people who look like you
and look like your family,
and look like your family,
181
453458
2685
和那些像你的人和像你的家人的故事，
这会让人恐惧，
07:48
it can be scary,
182
456167
1267
所有这些关于孤独的感觉会回来。
07:49
and all those feelings
of being alone came back.
of being alone came back.
183
457458
2351
但互联网告诉我——
07:51
But the internet is what told me --
184
459833
1726
07:53
sent the sign that there was going
to be a whole army waiting for me
to be a whole army waiting for me
185
461583
3268
它发出信号说，
有一整支军队在等待我
有一整支军队在等待我
07:56
to support me and to love me for it.
186
464875
2059
去支持我和爱我。
07:58
And so I found Kevin Kwan's
amazing novel "Crazy Rich Asians,"
amazing novel "Crazy Rich Asians,"
187
466958
4268
于是我看到了凯文·关的精彩小说
《疯狂的亚洲富豪》，
《疯狂的亚洲富豪》，
08:03
and we went to work.
188
471250
1268
于是我们开始着手制作。
08:04
We put this movie together.
189
472542
2184
我们共同推出了这部电影。
08:06
All-Asian cast --
190
474750
1268
全是亚洲角色——
08:08
the first all-Asian cast in 25 years
with a contemporary story --
with a contemporary story --
191
476042
3059
25 年来第一个全亚洲演员
阵容的现代故事——
阵容的现代故事——
08:11
(Applause and cheers)
192
479125
3143
（鼓掌和欢呼）
08:14
But when we started
it was not a guarantee at all.
it was not a guarantee at all.
193
482292
4851
但当我们开始时，
一切都没法保证。
一切都没法保证。
08:19
There was no comp for this kind of movie.
194
487167
2976
这种电影没有对照。
08:22
Every time we did surveys and stuff,
195
490167
1767
每次我们做调研，
08:23
the audiences weren't going to show up.
196
491958
1893
都没有观众出现。
08:25
In fact, even in our test screenings
197
493875
1768
事实上，即便在我们试映时，
08:27
where you give free tickets to people
to watch your movie,
to watch your movie,
198
495667
3142
免费发票让人们看我们的电影，
08:30
we had a one to 25 ratio,
199
498833
2018
也只得到了1比25的比例，
08:32
meaning after 25 asks,
only one person said yes,
only one person said yes,
200
500875
2351
意思是询问了25个人后，
只有一个人同意观看，
只有一个人同意观看，
08:35
which is super low
for these types of things.
for these types of things.
201
503250
2143
对试映来说实在太低。
08:37
Asian people who knew the book
didn't trust Hollywood at all,
didn't trust Hollywood at all,
202
505417
2976
看过该书的亚洲人不相信好莱坞，
08:40
Asian people who didn't know the book
thought the title was offensive
thought the title was offensive
203
508417
3517
不知道这本书的亚洲人
觉得书名就很冒犯，
觉得书名就很冒犯，
08:43
and other people who weren't Asian
just didn't think it was for them.
just didn't think it was for them.
204
511958
4310
其他不是亚洲人的人觉得
这不是给他们的电影。
这不是给他们的电影。
08:48
So we were pretty screwed.
205
516292
2517
所以我们很沮丧。
08:50
Luckily, Warner Brothers
didn't turn away from us.
didn't turn away from us.
206
518833
2518
幸运的是，华纳兄弟
并没有抛弃我们。
并没有抛弃我们。
08:53
But then the electric
somewhere struck again,
somewhere struck again,
207
521375
2518
但然后电闸又拉响了，
08:55
and this army of Asian-American
writers, reporters, bloggers,
writers, reporters, bloggers,
208
523917
5726
亚裔美国作家，记者，博主，
09:01
who over the years had worked their way up
through their respective publications,
through their respective publications,
209
529667
5101
多年来，他们在我不知情的情况下
通过各自的出版物
通过各自的出版物
09:06
went to work, unbeknownst to me.
210
534792
2059
一步一步地往上推。
09:08
And they started to post things.
211
536875
1601
他们开始发布相关内容。
09:10
Also, some tech founders out here
started to post stuff on social media,
started to post stuff on social media,
212
538500
3476
此外，一些科技公司的创始人
开始在社交媒体上发布东西，
开始在社交媒体上发布东西，
09:14
write stuff about us
in articles in the "LA Times,"
in articles in the "LA Times,"
213
542000
3768
在洛杉矶时报，好莱坞报道
09:17
in "The Hollywood Reporter"
and "Entertainment Weekly."
and "Entertainment Weekly."
214
545792
2726
和每周娱乐中介绍我们的电影。
09:20
It was like this grassroots uprising
of making ourselves news.
of making ourselves news.
215
548542
6059
这就像是草根阶层的起义，
让我们自己成为新闻。
让我们自己成为新闻。
09:26
What an amazing thing to witness.
216
554625
1625
这是多么神奇的事情呀。
09:29
And the swell of support
turned into this conversation online
turned into this conversation online
217
557250
5976
越来越多的支持变成了
所有亚裔美国人
所有亚裔美国人
09:35
between all these Asian Americans
218
563250
1893
之间的在线对话，
09:37
where we could actually debate and discuss
219
565167
2142
在那里我们可以争论和讨论
09:39
what stories we wanted to tell,
220
567333
1477
我们想要讲什么故事，
09:40
what stories should be told or not,
221
568834
1725
什么样的故事应该被讲和不被讲，
09:42
what kind of --
222
570583
1268
什么样的内容——
09:43
are we allowed to make fun of ourselves?
223
571875
1934
我们可以拿来自嘲？
09:45
What about casting?
What are we allowed to do?
What are we allowed to do?
224
573833
2226
角色呢？我们被允许做什么？
09:48
And we didn't agree -- and we still don't,
225
576083
2726
对此我们存在争议——
我们仍然争论不休，
我们仍然争论不休，
09:50
but that wasn't the point.
226
578833
1560
但这不是重点。
09:52
The point was the conversation
was happening.
was happening.
227
580417
2726
重点是对话正在发生。
09:55
And this conversation stream
became an infrastructure.
became an infrastructure.
228
583167
3851
这个对话流成为了一个基础设施。
09:59
It took all these different groups
that were trying to achieve the same thing
that were trying to achieve the same thing
229
587042
3684
它聚集了这些试图达成
同一件事的不同人群，
同一件事的不同人群，
10:02
and put us all together
in this connective tissue.
in this connective tissue.
230
590750
4018
并让我们在这个组织中
连接在一起。
连接在一起。
10:06
And again, not perfect,
231
594792
1309
再说一次，这个团体并非完美，
10:08
but the start of how we determine
our own representation on the big screen.
our own representation on the big screen.
232
596125
4208
但却是我们如何决定自己
在大屏幕上的表现的开始。
在大屏幕上的表现的开始。
10:13
It became more physical
when I went to the movie theater.
when I went to the movie theater.
233
601667
3101
当我来到电影院时，
这变得更加真实。
这变得更加真实。
10:16
I'll never forget going --
opening weekend,
opening weekend,
234
604792
2684
我永远不会忘记——在周末首映时，
10:19
and I went into the theater,
and it's not just Asians --
and it's not just Asians --
235
607500
2643
我来到电影院，
看到的不只是亚洲人——
看到的不只是亚洲人——
10:22
all types of people --
236
610167
1267
各种类型的人——
10:23
and I go in and sit down,
237
611458
1310
当我走进放映厅并坐下，
10:24
and people laughed, people cried,
238
612792
2583
看到了人们时而狂笑，时而大哭。
10:28
and when I went into the lobby,
239
616333
2643
当我进入大厅时，
10:31
people stayed.
240
619000
1250
人们留了下来。
10:32
It's like they didn't want to leave.
241
620750
1893
好像他们并不想离开。
10:34
They just hugged each other,
242
622667
1809
他们彼此拥抱，
10:36
high-fived each other, took selfies,
243
624500
1726
相互击掌，自拍，
10:38
they debated it, they laughed about it.
244
626250
2101
他们争论这部电影，
他们为此欢笑。
他们为此欢笑。
10:40
All these different things.
245
628375
1893
我看到的都是这些景象。
10:42
I had such an intimate
relationship with this movie,
relationship with this movie,
246
630292
3309
我和这部电影有如此
亲密的关系，
亲密的关系，
10:45
but I didn't understand
when we were making it
when we were making it
247
633625
3101
但当我拍摄这部电影时，
我一直不知道我们在拍什么，
我一直不知道我们在拍什么，
10:48
what we were making
until it was happening --
until it was happening --
248
636750
3018
直到事情真的发生了——
10:51
that it was the same thing that my parents
felt when they watched our family videos
felt when they watched our family videos
249
639792
4976
这跟我父母那天在客厅
看我们的家庭视频
看我们的家庭视频
10:56
in that living room that day.
250
644792
1851
如出一辙。
10:58
Seeing us on the screen has a power to it,
251
646667
3392
在银幕看到我们自己，
仿佛被赋予了力量，
仿佛被赋予了力量，
11:02
and the only way I can
describe it is pride.
describe it is pride.
252
650083
2810
我唯一可以用来
描述它的词，是自豪。
描述它的词，是自豪。
11:04
I have always understood
this word intellectually --
this word intellectually --
253
652917
3434
我总是理智地理解这个词——
11:08
I've probably talked about this word,
254
656375
2268
我可能谈论过这个词，
11:10
but to actually feel pride --
255
658667
1809
但要真正感到自豪——
11:12
and those of you who have felt it know --
256
660500
2018
你们当中有过
这种感觉的人都知道——
这种感觉的人都知道——
这就像你想要抓住身边
的每个人，奔走相告。
的每个人，奔走相告。
11:14
it's like you just want to like,
touch everybody and grab and run around.
touch everybody and grab and run around.
257
662542
4309
11:18
It's like a very --
258
666875
1476
这很像——
11:20
I can't explain --
259
668375
1268
我无法解释——
这是种非常真实的感觉，
11:21
it's just a very physical feeling,
260
669667
1684
11:23
all because of
a long pattern of connection.
a long pattern of connection.
261
671375
3917
都是因为一种长期的联系模式。
11:28
Film was a gift given to me,
262
676500
2226
电影是给我的礼物，
11:30
and through the years
I've learned a lot of things.
I've learned a lot of things.
263
678750
2684
这些年来我学到很多东西。
11:33
You can plan, you can write scripts,
you can do your storyboards,
you can do your storyboards,
264
681458
3143
你可以规划，你可以写脚本，
你可以制作你的故事板，
你可以制作你的故事板，
11:36
but at a certain point,
265
684625
2226
但在特定的节点，
11:38
your movie will speak back to you,
266
686875
2143
你的电影将会向你回诉，
11:41
and it's your job to listen.
267
689042
2166
你的工作就是倾听。
11:43
It's this living organism
and it sort of presents itself,
and it sort of presents itself,
268
691667
2726
这是一个活的有机体，
它能呈现自己，
它能呈现自己，
所以在它从你手中溜走前，
你最好抓住它，
你最好抓住它，
11:46
so you better catch it
before it slips through your hands,
before it slips through your hands,
269
694417
2767
这是制作电影最激动的部分。
11:49
and that's the most exciting part
about making movies.

270
697208
2560
生活也是大同小异。
11:51
When I look at life,
it's not that different actually.

271
699792
2559
我一直被引导着通过人，
11:54
I've been led through these
sort of breadcrumbs of connections

272
702375
3976
通过环境和运气
11:58
through people, through circumstances,
273
706375
2434
12:00
through luck.
274
708833
1560
来建立这些联系。
12:02
And it changed when I realized
that once you start listening
that once you start listening
275
710417
4559
当我意识到一旦你开始倾听这些
12:07
to the silent beats
and the messy noises around you,
and the messy noises around you,
276
715000
2518
静静的跳动和周遭的噪声时，
它就会变化，
它就会变化，
你意识到这个美丽的旋律
已经为你书写了。
已经为你书写了。
12:09
you realize that there's this beautiful
symphony already written for you.

277
717542

一条直达你命运的直线，
12:16
Your superpower.

12:18
Now, film was a gift given to me,
280
726250
2833
电影是给我的礼物，
12:22
sort of spurred on by my parents
and supported by my community.

12:27
I got to be who I wanted to be
when I needed to be it.

282
735458

在必要的时候，
我必须成为我想要成为的人。
我必须成为我想要成为的人。
12:31
My mom posted something
on Facebook the other day,
on Facebook the other day,
283
739625
2393
那天我妈在 Facebook 上
发表了一些东西，
发表了一些东西，
这种事通常不应该大声说出去——
12:34
which is usually a really bad
thing to say out loud --
thing to say out loud --
284
742042
2583
12:37
scary, she should not
have a Facebook, but --
have a Facebook, but --
285
745958
2185
很可怕，她不应该
有 Facebook账号，但——
有 Facebook账号，但——
12:40
(Laughter)
286
748167
1351
（笑声）
12:41
She posted this thing, and it was a meme,
287
749542
1976
她发表了这么一个表情，
12:43
you know, one of those funny things,
288
751542
1767
表情包里的一张图，
12:45
and it said, "You can't change
someone who doesn't want to change,
someone who doesn't want to change,
289
753333
3185
它说的是，“你无法改变一个
不想改变的人，
不想改变的人，
12:48
but never underestimate
the power of planting a seed."
the power of planting a seed."
290
756542
2601
但永远不要低估播撒种子的力量。”
12:51
And as I was doing
the finishing touches on this talk,
the finishing touches on this talk,
291
759167
2601
在本次演讲的筹备工作接近尾声时，
我意识到我生命中所有强大的联系
12:53
I realized that all the powerful
connections in my life
connections in my life
292
761792
2767
12:56
were through generosity and kindness
and love and hope.
and love and hope.
293
764583
6435
都来自慷慨、善良、爱和希望。
13:03
So when I think about my movies
"Crazy Rich Asians" and "In the Heights"
"Crazy Rich Asians" and "In the Heights"
294
771042
3392
所以当我想到我的电影
《疯狂的亚洲富豪》和我现在

正在制作的《身在高地》时——
13:06

All I want to do
is show joy and hope in them,
is show joy and hope in them,
298
779375
4434
13:15
because I refuse to believe
that our best days are behind us,
that our best days are behind us,
299
783833
3643
因为我拒绝相信
最好的日子在我们身后，
最好的日子在我们身后，
13:19
but in fact, around the corner.
300
787500
2393
其实它就在转角的地方。
13:21
Because you see love --

13:23
love is the superpower
that was given to me.

13:30
Love is the only thing
that can stop a speeding bullet

304
798917
4226
爱是在子弹离开枪膛前唯一能
13:35
before it even exits the chamber.
305
803167
1642
让它停下来的东西。
13:36
Love is the only thing
that can leap over a building
that can leap over a building
306
804833
2518
爱是唯一可以跨越建筑物，
13:39
and have a whole community
look up into the sky,

13:48

and for anyone here.
and for anyone here.
310
816792
2934
所以我想对自己和这里的
每个人提出一个挑战。
每个人提出一个挑战。
13:51

你在困难中前行，
你在让不可能成为可能，

13:59
let's just not forget
to be kind to each other,
to be kind to each other,
314
827875
3083
让我们不要忘记彼此友好相待，
14:03
because I believe that is
the most powerful form of connection
the most powerful form of connection
315
831750
3309
因为我相信这是我们
可以给予这个地球的
可以给予这个地球的
14:07
we can give to this planet.

1518
最强大的连接方式。
