Translation to Tudou Chinese interview
Hello - since you collect interviews … Here is the translation to the Tudou Chinese interview’s narration from yesterday:
In 2010, a curly headed, morose, highly intelligent great detective grabbed the world’s attention. He is the modern Sherlock played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Following the popularity of the show, BC was suddenly popular, and became British pop culture’s new calling card.
Chinese film fans nicknamed him ‘Curly Holmes’. Now, Hollywood has also thrown its doors wide open for this scorching hot young man. This May, JJ Abram’s STID will be shown in Mainland China, BC will be starring as the villain, and is one of the great focus of the movie.
Star Trek is now airing, while multitudes of fans are suffering and waiting for the highly-reputed ‘Sherlock’ original cast to film S3. Curly Holmes plays this modern Sherlock with intelligence, humor, and sense of justice, attracting enthusiastic support from today’s young viewers.
Now, 36 year old Curly Holmes has a bright starry future in front of him.He is born from an acting family, his parents are both actors. But in the 10+ years of being in the profession,Curly Holmes, like lots of other actors, has toiled in the trenches of the acting profession. Running around to audition for a tiny role, facing the most brutal pressure of competition head on - all this did not make his lose his conviction to become an actor.
Despite ‘Sherlock’ spring-boarding BC to overnight fame, this was not a coincidence. In addition to innate acting talent, he also works hard and seriously, even for supporting or minor roles, he will do large amounts of research and preparation.
This allows his performances to be nuanced and moving. He has successfully sculpted (inhabited) many genius loners. In 2004’s ‘Hawking’, because of his brilliant portrayal of scientist Hawking, he was personally praised by Hawking himself.
In the last 2 short years, Curly Holmes has risen from obscurity to astounding renown, from London England, all the way to Hollywood. His many years of thick-and-thin experience have tempered him so that one senses no brashness expected from the typical overnight sensation, and in addition, he possesses the especial reserve that is the English actor’s specialty.
Soon, he will be featured in ‘The 5th Estate’, ‘12 Years a Slave’, and ‘Hobbit 2 and 3’ etc., and many other Hollywood new movies. Casting aside the halo from ‘Sherlock’, to Benedict ‘Curly Holmes’ Batch, is only the beginning.
Lovely new pics of Benedicts from the LA Times!
‘Star Trek Into Darkness’: Benedict Cumberbatch enjoys being villain
…Cumberbatch said he tries to trip up expectations in “the politest ways” when choosing roles. “Into Darkness” certainly sees him wearing the mantle of action antihero more overtly than ever before, though it’s the sequences in which he attempts to manipulate Kirk and Spock with his cool intellect and seductive baritone that perhaps most directly capitalize on the actor’s signature skill set…

You know you’ve made it when you show up in Entertainment Weekly & People in the same day. Good on you, Mr. Cumberbatch.

Aside from this lovely (inside back) page, the current edition (#1260; May 24, 2013) of Entertainment Weekly has a review of “Star Trek Into Darkness” starting on Page 62. Fair warning, if you haven’t yet seen the movie: While Owen Gleiberman gives STID an A, his review is not spoiler-free.
BULLSEYE!
