Arguably one of the most anticipated films in November, Zhang Yimou's latest directorial outing One Second has finally met local audiences after being pulled or delayed for various reasons over the past year and a half. 6park.com
作为整个十一月最值得期待的影片，张艺谋的《一秒钟》在各种等待和变故中，终于在周五和观众见面了。



The film has opened to wide praise, exemplified by the score of 8.1 points out of 10 on the popular review site Douban. 6park.com
一上映，就赢得满堂彩。豆瓣开局8.1分。 6park.com
During a Beijing premiere at the China Film Archive on Thursday, Zhang revealed the film was inspired from his early experiences when he was 18 to 28 years old. To some extent, the movie is a retrospective on a special chapter of Chinese history, and also a journey of seeking cultural roots. 6park.com
在周四中国电影资料馆举办的影片首映礼上，张艺谋透露说，故事灵感来源于他的早期经历，是他18岁到28岁年龄段间的记忆。可以说是对那段特殊历史的回顾，也是一次寻根之旅。



The tale is rather simple. Zhang Jiusheng, a fleeing criminal, treks across a treacherous desert just to watch a film in Erfenchang, a fictional neighborhood set in northern China. Before the film Heroic Breed: Heroic Sons and Daughtersis released, the "cinema" — built in a shabby venue with a piece of giant white cloth as the screen — will play a short video clip of a brief news roundup, or newsreel, containing a one-second-long footage of Zhang's daughter, who Zhang hasn't seen for six years. 6park.com
故事简单利落，讲述了劳改农场的逃犯张九声，穿越茫茫戈壁沙漠，为了在二分场放映电影《英雄儿女》前，在正片开始放映前的《新闻简报》里，看一眼阔别六年的女儿的影像。虽然这个镜头一晃而过，只有短短一秒钟。



On his way to Erfenchang, Zhang bumps into Liu Guinvy, portrayed by young actress Liu Haocun. After her father has an affair, causing the death of her angry mother, the teen Liu Guinv has since then led a tough life, struggling with her brother, a student. The brother accidently burns a cover, made of film, on a table lamp borrowed from their neighbor, who asks for a new cover as compensation. Liu Guinvy is forced to steal a roll of 35mm film in order to make a new cover, but her attempt is stopped by Zhang, who would rather risk his life just to watch the film — which contains his daughter's image — for one second. 6park.com
在路上，他先是遇上了新晋“谋女郎”刘浩存饰演的刘闺女，一个父亲另觅新欢、气死母亲的可怜孩子，她被迫独自拉扯弟弟。弟弟爱学习，借用了邻居家的台灯，却不慎将胶片制成的灯罩烧坏了，被邻居堵上家门来索赔。刘闺女无奈之下，正好去偷电影放映厂的胶盘，却被张九声逮个正着。



Amid rounds of conflicts, they come to know each other's miserable lives, generating a father-and-daughter-like bond. 6park.com
在一路的偷与反偷盗的“相爱相杀”中，两人互相了解到对方的不幸身世，惺惺相惜之间，也萌生了父女般的感情。 6park.com
Zhang Jiusheng is played by Zhang Yi, propelled to stardom through recent hitsThe Eight Hundred and The Sacrifice. In his new film One Second, Zhang Yi again shows top acting chops in his rendition of the desperate and struggling father. 6park.com
张九声的扮演者是张译。从《八佰》到《金刚川》，张译成了新晋“霸屏”男神。在《一秒钟》里，张译的演技好到炸裂。他把一个父亲的绝望和挣扎演绎得淋漓尽致。 6park.com
Another veteran actor is Fan Wei, who stars as film-screening employee Fan Dianying. He is a skilled craftsman in film screening. After the film reel accidently falls from the cargo, it becomes buried dozens of meters below the dirt. Fan Dianying gathers local villagers to use his own way to clean up the films, helping Zhang Jiusheng to watch this very precious footage.  6park.com
另一位“神演技”的老戏骨是范伟。他饰演的二分场电影放映员范电影，有独门的手艺活，能把被马车拖曳了好几十米、在泥土里滚成黄坨坨的胶片洗干净了，再放出来。如果没有他，张九声或许再也无缘看到女儿的“一秒钟”。



When Zhang says "the one second is too short. It's not enough", I heard applause in the cinema. 6park.com
当张译在影片《一秒钟》里说出“一秒钟太短，不够”时，我身边响起掌声。 6park.com
The line is somewhat symbolic. The movie is like director Zhang' s "love letter" to cinema. The Chinese film industry has faced an unprecedented crisis in the unusual year of 2020. I believe all movie enthusiasts would hope that good films could be enjoyed over a lifetime. 6park.com
这句台词或许有着象征的意味，让这部影片成为张艺谋导演写给电影的情书。对让电影行业分外艰辛坎坷的2020年，相信每一个热爱电影的人，都会希望不是一秒钟，而是一辈子。
