What you are now reading should have been an interview with Li Ruijun. The acclaimed Chinese director has a fine new film being released in the UK, Return to Dust, a stark and tender love story between a peasant couple in Gansu province, near the Mongolian border. The Financial Times had long planned to talk to Li about it. Instead, it is left to Eve Gabereau of UK distributor Modern Films to fill the space left by Li and his producers. “They’re not speaking,” she says. “But they aren’t saying why not, either.”
你現在閱讀的本來應該是一篇李睿珺的專訪。這位被人們讚譽有加的中國導演有一部好片子即將在英國上映——《隱入塵煙》,講述了甘肅省靠近蒙古邊境的地區一對農民夫婦質樸溫馨的愛情故事。英國《金融時報》早就計劃與李睿珺談談這部片子,結果卻是英國發行公司Modern Films的伊芙•加伯羅(Eve Gabereau)代替了李睿珺和他的製作人們的位置。「他們現在不會談論,」她說道,「但他們也不說爲什麼。」
