票房女神白百合確定出演《捉妖記2》

It will come as a relief to her fans — and there are tens of millions of them — to know that Bai Baihe is gearing up to take one of the (human) lead roles in "Monster Hunt 2," a sequel to the hybrid live action-animation film that last year grossed an unheard-of $380 million at the Chinese box office.

在得知白百合已經準備好擔任《捉妖記2》主角的消息之後，數以百萬計的她的粉絲這回可以鬆一口氣了。《捉妖記2》是去年票房達到了破紀錄的3.8億美元的混合式真人動畫電影《捉妖記》的續集。

Bai is the polar opposite of China's leading ladies: regal Fan Bingbing; untouchable Li Bingbing; or fantasy figure Crystal Liu.

白百合和中國其他的一線女明星，包括女王範兒的范冰冰，高不可攀的李冰冰，以及給人一種幻覺的劉亦菲，截然不同。

Rather, Bai is the pretty girl next door with decent acting chops and good comic timing. Her acting skills were honed at the Beijing Academy as well as through those years of TV.

相反，白百合更像是一個鄰家女孩，有着精湛的演技以及非凡的幽默感。她的演技在北京電影學院以及多年的電視劇演員生涯中得到了充分的磨礪。

Even Bai's trajectory has a wholesome appeal, as she put family before career. She married young (to a rock star!) and had a child before plunging into performing.

甚至，白百合的人生軌跡都十分吸引人，因爲她把家庭放到了職業之前。她很早就和一名搖滾明星結婚，並在開始演藝生涯之前，就已經生了一個孩子。

"Monster Hunt 2" will start shooting in the last quarter of the year, with Raman Hui again directing.

《捉妖記2》將會在今年第四季度開拍，仍然是由許誠毅執導。
