票房女神白百合确定出演《捉妖记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 hybrid¹ live action-animation film that last year grossed an unheard-of $380 million at the Chinese box office.

在得知白百合已经准备好担任《捉妖记2》主角的消息之后，数以百万计的她的粉丝这回可以松一口气了。《捉妖记2》是去年票房达到了破纪录的3.8亿美元的混合式真人动画电影《捉妖记》的续集。

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

白百合和中国其他的一线女明星，包括女王范儿的范冰冰，高不可攀的李冰冰，以及给人一种幻觉的刘亦菲，截然不同。

Rather, Bai is the pretty girl next door with decent acting² chops and good comic timing³. Her acting skills were honed at the Beijing Academy as well as through those years of TV.

相反，白百合更像是一个邻家女孩，有着精湛的演技以及非凡的幽默感。她的演技在北京电影学院以及多年的电视剧演员生涯中得到了充分的磨砺。

Even Bai's trajectory⁴ has a wholesome⁵ appeal, as she put family before career. She married young (to a rock star!) and had a child before plunging⁶ into performing.

甚至，白百合的人生轨迹都十分吸引人，因为她把家庭放到了职业之前。她很早就和一名摇滚明星结婚，并在开始演艺生涯之前，就已经生了一个孩子。

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

《捉妖记2》将会在今年第四季度开拍，仍然是由许诚毅执导。
