| When viewers watch “Fight Club” on a popular Chinese streaming platform, most of the film looks exactly as it did when it was released in 1999 — except for the apocalyptic ending. |
| 当中国观众在一个受欢迎的流媒体平台上观看电影《搏击俱乐部》(Fight Club)时，影片的大部分内容与1999年刚上映时看起来完全一样，除了那个世界末日般的结局。 |
| Instead of a successful plot to destroy a series of buildings, the Chinese version of the cult classic starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton ends with a note to viewers saying that the police “rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding.” |
| 这部由布拉德·皮特和爱德华·诺顿主演的邪典经典片的中国版结局不再是成功地炸毁了一系列建筑的情节，而是以字幕的形式告诉观众：警方“一举将他们抓获，阻止了炸弹的爆炸”。 |
| As for Mr. Pitt’s character, the note says, he was sent to an asylum and later discharged. (Never mind that the character is actually a figment of Mr. Norton’s character’s imagination.) |
| 至于皮特扮演的那个角色，字幕说，他被送进了精神病院，经过治疗后出院。（即使这个角色其实是诺顿饰演的角色凭空想象出来的。） |
| The censored ending was discovered recently by fans in China who watched it on a streaming platform owned by Tencent, a giant Chinese entertainment company. It has lead to criticism from Human Rights Watch and chatter on social media in China and the United States. |
| 最近，在娱乐巨头腾讯旗下的流媒体平台上观看这部电影的中国粉丝们发现了这个经过审查的结局。新结局引发了人权观察组织的批评，并在中美两国的社交媒体上引起了讨论。 |
| “This is SUPER wonderful! Everyone gets a happy ending in China!” Chuck Palahniuk, the writer whose 1996 novel inspired the film, wrote sarcastically on Twitter. But he also said in an interview with TMZ on Wednesday that the censored ending was closer to the ending of his book, in which the bomb malfunctions and the narrator wakes up in a mental hospital after shooting himself. |
| “这太棒了！在中国，每个人都有一个幸福的结局！”作家查克·帕拉尼克在Twitter上讽刺地写道，这部电影的灵感来自他1996年的小说。但帕拉尼克在周三接受TMZ采访时也表示，经过审查的结局更接近他原作的结局，即炸弹失灵，叙述者试图开枪自杀，醒来后发现自己在精神病院。 |
| It is unclear whether the changes to the film’s Chinese edition were the result of self-censorship, a government order or a combination of the two. The film’s production company, based in Los Angeles, did not respond to requests for comment, and its Chinese distributor declined to comment. |
| 目前还不清楚这部影片中国版的修改是出于自我审查还是政府命令，抑或两个原因都有。该片的制作公司在洛杉矶，该公司没有回复记者的置评请求，其中国发行商也拒绝置评。 |
| But this much is clear: “Fight Club” is not the first movie where the version made for the Chinese mainland audience differed from the original. Over the years, a number of Western movies and television shows — including “Men in Black 3,” “Cloud Atlas” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” — have been altered before they were shown to local audiences. |
| 但有一点很清楚：《搏击俱乐部》并不是第一部为中国大陆观众制作与原片版本不同的电影。多年来，许多西方电影和电视节目——包括《黑衣人3》、《云图》和《加勒比海盗》——在上映前都经过了修改。 |
| A ‘reluctant compromise’ |
| “不情愿的妥协” |
| To some extent, recent censorship echoes how the mainland Chinese authorities once demanded changes to movies from Hong Kong, the former British colony that was promised a high degree of autonomy when it returned to Chinese sovereignty in 1997. |
| 在某种程度上，最近的审查让人想起内地有关部门曾要求香港修改电影情节的做法。香港以前是英国殖民地，1997年回归时曾得到保持高度自治的承诺。 |
| Hong Kong’s golden age of cinema included Bruce Lee kung fu films and Wong Kar-wai dramas, and, for years, local production companies there would export films to Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries in the region. |
| 香港电影的黄金时代包括李小龙的功夫片和王家卫的艺术片，多年来，香港本地的制作公司曾将电影出口到台湾、新加坡、马来西亚，以及东南亚其他国家。 |
| But when those international sales were battered by a 1997 financial crisis in East Asia, Hong Kong production houses began looking to mainland China as their main source of overseas revenue. As a price of admission, they often agreed to produce alternate versions of their movies to suit local censorship requirements. |
| 但1997年的东南亚金融危机重创了香港电影的国际市场，香港电影公司开始把内地作为境外收入的主要来源。作为进入这个市场的代价，香港电影公司通常为满足内地的审查要求，同意制作与原片不同的版本。 |
| “When exploitation of the new mainland market becomes a matter of life and death, such a reluctant compromise with market entry limitations is totally understandable as a measure of expediency,” the scholar Hilary Hongjin He wrote in a 2010 study of Hong Kong cinema in the Chinese mainland. |
| “当开拓新的内地市场成为生死攸关的问题时，作为一种权宜之计，对市场准入限制做出这种不情愿的妥协是完全可以理解的，”学者何红瑾（音）在2010年一篇研究香港电影在中国大陆的论文中写道。 |
| Early censorship |
| 早期的审查 |
| An early example of such censorship is “The Inescapable Snare,” a re-edited version of “Naked Ambition,” a 2003 Hong Kong film about the local sex industry. The mainland version adds a plot twist in which Hong Kong police officers team up with Beijing’s Ministry of Public Security to crack down on pornography and prostitution. |
| 这种审查的一个早期例子是《天罗地网》，该片是以2003年的香港电影《豪情》为基础重新剪辑出来的，《豪情》讲述的是香港性产业的故事。影片的内地版增加了香港警方与中国公安部联手打击色情和卖淫的情节转折。 |
| Other Hong Kong films were edited for audiences in Southeast Asia, a region where governments and film audiences tend to be socially conservative. Notably, the directors of “Infernal Affairs,” a 2002 crime drama, produced an alternate version for the Malaysian market in which a criminal who has infiltrated the Hong Kong Police Force is apprehended after murdering an undercover officer. |
| 也有为东南亚观众剪辑的香港电影，东南亚地区的政府和电影观众往往在社会方面更保守。尤其是2002年的犯罪片《无间道》的导演们为马来西亚市场制作了不同版本的结局：潜入香港警队的犯罪分子在谋杀了一名卧底警察后被抓。 |
| “Liu Jianming, we have found out that you are a spy for the mafia,” a policeman tells the criminal in the alternate ending, moments after Liu kills the undercover officer in the elevator of an office tower. “You are arrested.” |
| 在这个不同版本的结局中，刘建明在办公楼的电梯里杀死卧底警察后走出电梯，警察对他说，“刘建明，我们查到你是黑社会卧底，现在拘捕你。” |
| In the original version, Liu rides the elevator to the ground floor and leaves the building. |
| 在原来的版本中，刘建明乘电梯下到一层后离开了大楼。 |
| Pro-government codas |
| 亲政府的结局 |
| Today, Hong Kong’s world-famous film scene has become the latest form of expression to be censored, since Beijing imposed a national security law on the territory in 2020. The Hong Kong government has been cracking down on documentaries and independent productions that it fears could glamorize the pro-democracy protests that roiled the city in 2019. |
| 自从北京2020年对香港实施了《国家安全法》以来，香港世界有名的电影业现在已成为受审查的最新表达形式。香港政府一直在打压纪录片和独立制作的影片，担心它们会美化2019年搅乱香港的民主抗议活动。 |
| As for Chinese-language films that are shown on the mainland, they now tend to have just one version for both the domestic and international market, even if they are produced in Hong Kong, said Kevin Ma, the founder of Asia in Cinema, a news site for the regional industry. They also tend to end either with villains getting caught, he said, or with a written coda that praises the benefits of law and order. |
| 区域电影新闻网站《亚洲电影资讯》的创始人凯文·马表示，在内地上映的中文电影现在往往只有一个国内和国际市场通用的版本，即使电影是香港制作的。这些电影的结局要么是坏人被抓，要么是在结尾处用文字赞美法律和秩序的好处。 |
| As for foreign films that are imported to China, some disappear from local streaming platforms without explanation. In many other cases, Mr. Ma said, it is common for local distributors to tone down movies through relatively minor cuts. For example, the Chinese version of “Logan,” a 2017 blockbuster in the X-Men series starring Hugh Jackman, has less violence than the original. |
| 至于引进片，其中一些在没有任何解释的情况下从本土流媒体平台上消失了。马先生说，在许多其他情况下，常见的做法是本土发行商通过相对较小的删减来缓和影片的情节。例如，2017年由休·杰克曼主演的系列大片《金刚狼3：罗根》的中国版中暴力的镜头比原片的少。 |
| Other cuts are more blatant. The Chinese version of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the 2018 Queen biopic, cut references to the singer Freddie Mercury’s sexuality — including a crucial scene in which he tells his fiancée that he is not straight, and another in which his male lover is introduced. |
| 有些删减则更明显。2018年的皇后乐队传记片《波西米亚狂想曲》的中国版删掉了暗示歌手弗雷迪·墨丘利性取向的情节，包括一个他告诉未婚妻自己不是直男的关键场景，以及一个有其男性情人出现的场面。 |
| A new approach |
| 新的审查做法 |
| The Chinese version of “Fight Club” is notable, Mr. Ma said, because it carries both strategic cuts and the same kind of pro-government written codas that are typically reserved only for Chinese-language films. |
| 马先生说，《搏击俱乐部》的中国版让人关注是因为它既有策略性的删减，也有通常只出现在中文电影里出现的那种亲政府的文字结尾。 |
| “Cutting is normal, but adding a new ending for foreign films? That’s new for me,” he said. |
| “删减很正常，但为外国电影添加一个新结局？这对我来说是新东西，”他说。 |
| Mr. Ma said it would be interesting to know whether the film’s American production company discussed censorship in the contract when it sold the distribution rights in China. New Regency, the Los Angeles-based company that produced “Fight Club,” did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday. |
| 马先生说，他想知道，该片的美国制作公司是否在向中国出售发行权的合同中讨论了审查。《搏击俱乐部》的制作方是洛杉矶的新摄政娱乐公司，该公司周四没有立即回复记者的置评请求。 |
| A spokeswoman for Tencent Video, the Chinese streaming platform that hosts the censored version of “Fight Club,” declined to comment when reached by telephone on Thursday. So did a spokeswoman for Pacific Audio and Video, the film’s Chinese distributor. |
| 周四，腾讯视频的发言人在接到记者打去的电话后拒绝置评。该片的中国发行商太平洋影音公司的发言人也拒绝置评。 |
| At least one other foreign movie was shown in China with both strategic cuts and a written coda. |
| 至少还有一部在中国上映的外国电影既有策略性的剪辑，也有文字的结尾。 |
| In the original ending of “Lord of War,” a 2005 Hollywood blockbuster in which a Ukrainian arms dealer played by Nicolas Cage is chased by an Interpol agent, his character is released from prison and returns to selling arms. |
| 好莱坞大片《战争之王》于2005年上映，该片原本结尾是尼古拉斯·凯奇饰演的乌克兰军火商被一名国际刑警特工追捕，他所饰演的角色从狱中释放后重操旧业。 |
| But the Chinese version ends with Mr. Cage’s character, Yuri Orlov, still incarcerated. |
| 但在中国版的结尾中，凯奇饰演的尤里·奥洛夫仍在服刑。 |
| “Yuri Orlov confessed all the crimes officially charged against him in court, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the end,” a coda reads. |
| “在法庭上，尤里·奥尔洛夫承认了官方指控的所有罪行，并最终被判处终身监禁，”影片结尾处写道。 |
