张艺谋新片引“洗白”争议主演马特·达蒙称未抢华裔角色

好莱坞也被指不够多元化、不给亚洲演员机会。

Damon and Zhang said that because of the demands of the story, Damon's role was always intended to be European.

达蒙和张艺谋称，这个角色设定一直就是欧洲人，这是出于情节需要。

Damon said the controversy would subside "once people see that it's a monster movie and it's a historical fantasy and I didn't take a role away from a Chinese actor ... it wasn't altered because of me in any way."

达蒙说，“一旦人们发现这是一部关于魔兽的虚构历史故事，而我没有抢走中国演员的角色，这个角色也没有因我发生任何改变后”，这场争论就会平息。

The film is the first Sino-Hollywood co-production and first English-language film for Zhang, the director of the romantic Kung Fu drama House of Flying Daggers and the opulent opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

《长城》是中国和好莱坞联合制作的首部电影，也是张艺谋的第一部英文电影。张艺谋曾执导功夫爱情片《十面埋伏》和场面宏大的2008年北京奥运会开幕式及闭幕式。

It also stars Pedro Pascal of "Game of Thrones" as Damon's sword-wielding partner in crime, Willem Dafoe and Andy Lau. Jing Tian plays the woman lead warrior. Also appearing are Eddie Peng of the boxing drama Unbeatable and Lu Han, a former boy band sensation.
