萬達與索尼達成戰略合作 正式進軍好萊塢

China's Dalian Wanda Group is extending its footprint in Hollywood after striking a deal with Sony Pictures.

中國大連萬達集團近日和索尼影業達成了一項協議，將在好萊塢擴張其足跡。

The strategic alliance opens the door for Wanda to invest in certain productions.

這一戰略聯盟將會爲萬達打開某些產品的投資之門。

Wanda said it would include the co-financing of upcoming high-profile Sony releases in China.

據萬達表示，雙方合作的內容包括索尼即將在中國高調發布的聯合融資項目。

The deal marks the Chinese company's first multi-picture partnership with a major Hollywood studio.

該份協議標誌着中國企業第一次和一家大型好萊塢電影製作室進行影視合作。

"The alliance will help strengthen Wanda's power to influence the global film industry, and set a good precedent for Chinese film producers in their international investment," the company said in a statement.

萬達在一份聲明中表示：“此次聯盟將會有助於增強萬達對全球電影產業的影響，並且爲中國電影製片商樹立一個國際投資的良好先例。”

As part of the deal, Wanda "will strive to highlight the China element in the films in which it invests".

作爲協議的一部分，萬達“將會在其所投資的電影中努力突出中國元素”。

Past partnerships between Chinese companies and mainstream Hollywood studios were mostly limited to a small investment in a single film.

之前也曾有中國公司和好萊塢主流製作室合作過，但是大多數合作都被限制在一部電影中，並且也只有少量的投資。

For Sony Pictures, the deal will give it a greater platform to promote its productions through Wanda's vast digital and physical cinema infrastructure.

對於索尼影業來說，這份協議使得其可以利用萬達龐大的數字影院和電影院，從而獲得一個更大的平臺來推銷自己的產品。
