金鹰娱乐讯（北京记者：冯紫剑）　6月10日，以反人口贩卖与性奴役的公益动画片《交汇点》在北京798艺术中心首映。由影帝张涵予、演员袁泉、苏有朋组成的配音团队当天抵达现场助阵。影片中张涵予配音的角色是一个专门贩卖女孩给性交易场所的“人贩”，袁泉配音的角色是一个被张涵予贩卖的“妓女”，苏有朋则为一名“嫖客”配音。

张涵予苏有朋特地挑反派　不想重复过去

影帝张涵予与著名演员袁泉、苏有朋为动画片3位主角配音，并出席首映礼助阵。三人中除了张涵予拥有丰富配音经验外，袁泉与苏有朋都是首次接触该种工作。现场袁、苏两人不断夸赞大哥张涵予声音成熟具有磁性，捧得影帝喜笑颜开，坦言有过上千次配音经验，本次涉足已是轻车熟路，人物揣摩没有任何问题。

据透露，由于档期和时间错开的关系，虽然影片中有三人在一起的对手戏，但作为配音者，袁泉与苏有朋在配音前都无缘向张涵予请教，三人声音均是分别录制，最后利用软据合成到一起。为了能一睹张涵予当年配音《佐罗》的雄风，首映礼当天袁泉、苏有朋与媒体都一再将张涵予推到台前，但最终依旧被张涵予以“我自己配过的影片都不记得台词”委婉拒绝。

张涵予素来以正面人物亮相银屏，苏有朋也一直给人留下青春阳光的印象，谈及这次配音的角色，两人均表示特地挑选这种角色是为了寻求突破。“我不想配那个卧底警察，警察我演得挺多也配得挺多，想尝试下反面的角色。”张涵予笑着告诉记者。据透露，在接下来的影视作品中，张涵予也希望出演一些反面角色，但目前还没有具体计划。

简约情节发人深省　好莱坞巨星鼎力支持

当天首映礼上主办方完整播放了这部时长为半个多小时的公益动画片，影片情节设置简约明了，大致为人贩子“张涵予”将贫困女“袁泉”贩卖到某性交易场所，并威逼利诱地强迫她接受性交易，在与嫖客“苏有朋”进行性交易时，恰巧一位卧底警察在交易场所对“张涵予”进行抓捕，随后成功解救“袁泉”。

虽然故事情节设置简单，但动画片内容十分发人深省，充分揭露了人口贩子与性交易场所老板的内心黑暗世界。影片中，“老板”在人贩“张涵予”手中购得“袁泉”，为了逼迫“袁泉”进行性交易，“张涵予”不仅以抓捕“袁泉”妹妹作为恐吓，更亲自对其实施强奸。

据悉，全球约有250万被贩卖的受害者，超过半数受害者来自亚太地区，贩卖商每年可因此赚取超过100亿美元的暴利。《交汇点》是MTV音乐电视反人口贩卖行动中的作品之一。该项公益活动已获得好莱坞巨星安吉丽娜?朱莉、香港歌手莫文蔚、韩国天王Rain等众多演艺人士的大力支持。该动画片将于6月13日23：00在MTV中国频道首播，并与次日14：30重播。

Translation of the ent.hunantv.com article:

Golden Hawk/Eagle Entertainment News (Beijing reporter: Feng Zi Jian).

On 10 June, the public service animated film on anti-human smuggling cum sex trade, Jiao Hui Dian (aka Intersection) was introduced at the 798 Arts Centre in Beijing. The dubbing team, comprised of movie king Zhang Hanyu and actors Yuan Quan and Alec Su, was at the scene to aid the promotion. The character for which Zhang Hanyu did a voiceover is a professional human trafficker who provides girls to brothels; Yuan Quan's character is one of the "prostitutes" sold by Zhang Hanyu; Alec Su’s character is one of the "brothel customers."

Zhang Hanyu and Alec Su, not wanting to repeat their former image, have specially chosen villain character roles

Movie King Zhang Hanyu and well-known actors Yuan Quan and Alec Su did voice-overs for three leading characters, and were present during the ceremony (to help promote the animated film). Among the trio, apart from Zhang Hanyu who has a vast experience of dubbing, it was the first time for Yuan Quan and Alec Su to do this kind of work. At the site, both Yuan and Su would continuously praise 'big brother' Zhang Hanyu's mature voice for its magnetism and character; their exaltations led the Movie King to beam with pleasure, and he revealed that he had done dubbing thousands of times; hence, he was able to do the voiceover for his character in the animation easily, since he was on familiar grounds and was able to figure out the role of the character without much problem.

It was disclosed that because the recording dates and times were staggered, Yuan Quan and Alec Su did not have the opportunity to consult Zhang Hanyu prior to the recording of their dubbing, despite the fact that there are scenes in the movie where the three characters are together. The recording of the dubbing for the three was done separately and the recording was joined together later. In order to witness the power of Zhang Hanyu's dubbing of Zuo Luo, Yuan, Alec and the media together tried to coax Zhang Hanyu to the platform for a demonstration during the preview event but, in the end, Zhang Hanyu tactfully declined, saying, "Whatever movies I have dubbed, I can't remember the actors' lines."

Zhang Hanyu has all this while been taking on positive roles in movies, and similarly, Alec Su has all along impressed people with the image of youth and sunshine. Discussing the roles selected to be dubbed, both had, without exception, selected their particular character roles in order to make a breakthrough. "I did not want to dub that undercover cop, as I have already acted as well as dubbed many such police roles, and I wanted to try out a negative role." Zhang Hanyu smilingly told the reporters. It was revealed that Zhang Hanyu also hoped to be able to act a negative role in his upcoming movie/TV dramas. However, there is currently no concrete plan.
　
Brief, Simple, Concise and Thought-Provoking, Kind Support from Hollywood's Celebrities

During the preview ceremony, after the screening of the more than half-hour film, the brief concise plot of the story was clear. Apparently, the human trafficker, 'Zhang Hanyu', sold the poor girl 'Yuan Quan' to the brothel, and had used a combination of threats, violence and promise of gains to force her to accept the sex trade. She was with a brothel customer 'Alec Su' when, fortunately, an undercover cop was going into the brothel to arrest 'Zhang Hanyu', and, soon afterwards, the cop rescued her successfully.

Although the story line and setting are simple, the film is tremendously thought-provoking, fully exposing the darkness of the world of human trafficking and sex trade, as well as the heart of the brothel owner. In the film, the ‘boss’ bought 'Yuan Quan' from the human trafficker, 'Zhang Hanyu' who, in order to force Yuan Quan to enter the sex trade, not only used Yuan Quan's younger sister as blackmail, but also personally violated her.

It is reported that there are about 2,500,000 victims of human trafficking in the whole world. More than half of these victims are from Asia-Pacific regions. Every year, human traffickers make a huge profit of more than 100 million American dollars. Jiao Hui Dian (aka Intersection) is one of MTV EXIT's productions in its operation against human trafficking. The public welfare activity has gained great support from Hollywood's Angelina Joli, Hong Kong singer Karen Mok, Korean singing star Rain and many other celebrities. The animated film will be screened on MTV China on 13 June at 11pm, and on the following day at 2.30pm.

Veteran Taiwan star looks to China as the future
Fri Jun 12, 2009 1:19am EDT

By Ben Blanchard

BEIJING (Reuters Life!) - For years, many of the hottest entertainers in China have come from Taiwan and Hong Kong, places fans believe make for edgier performers. But veteran Taiwanese singer and actor Alec Su thinks this will change.

Su, still going strong two decades after starting his career and who is mobbed by fans whenever he sets foot in Beijing and other Chinese cities, believes the sheer size of the audience in mainland China is becoming a huge influence on the music scene.

"If you look at the population, there is a huge difference between Taiwan and Hong Kong and the mainland. Slowly but surely the mainland will be seen as a major market," Su told Reuters in a rare interview with foreign media.

"I believe that the influence of the mainland will only get bigger. They have the most people who will watch films, or listen to music," he added.

Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have been seen by mainland Chinese as cooler and more avant-garde than their domestic counterparts, who have to tread a cautious creative line to avoid getting into trouble with the Communist government.

Taiwan's Jay Chou in particular is massively popular in China, his face adorning countless advertisements.

But mainland pop singers such as Li Yuchun, winner of a television talent show in 2005, have already made inroads in an industry traditionally dominated by "outsiders."

"I think there's a lot of very good mainland singers, very creative. What they are writing about, their lives, have changed vastly because of China's opening up," Su said.

"Our mainlander friends see this as very cool. They won't necessarily feel the same way about Hong Kong or Taiwan."

China and Taiwan have been ruled separately since 1949, when defeated Nationalist forces fled to the island at the end of a civil war. But since tensions between the two governments began to ease in the late 1980s, cultural and economic exchanges have rocketed, helped by a common language and culture.

Su owes his fame to Little Tigers, a Mandarin boy-band reminiscent of Take That or New Kids on the Block and which rocked the Chinese pop world from the late 1980s.

But in the often bubble-gum world of Mandarin pop music, where flash-in-the-pan singers change styles and even their names with alarming frequency, Su is a rare example of an artist who has maintained his popularity.

"I think I'm very lucky that I've always had opportunities," Su said bashfully when asked to explain his enduring appeal.

"Also, I'm a Virgo, I'm a perfectionist. I always put my whole heart into doing something. But of course I have to thank everyone for not getting fed up with me," he added with a laugh.

These days, though, Su spends more time acting. He has just done a voiceover for an MTV animation which aims to highlight the dangers of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

And if he has worries about whether he, as a Taiwanese artist, will in the future have trouble appealing to a mainland audience, he does not reveal them.

"We all speak the same language," Su said. "Some people will still be able to produce works which move everyone."

MTV uses anime to fight human trafficking in China
Thu Jun 11, 2009 7:28pm EDT

By Ben Blanchard

BEIJING (Reuters) - One of China's most sought-after actors is starring in an animated short film about human trafficking and sexual exploitation, issues that have plagued the country, and the rest of Asia, for decades.

Zhang Hanyu, who won the Chinese equivalent of an Oscar at the Golden Horse awards in Taiwan last year, lends his voice to the Mandarin version of "Intersection," will be shown on Music Television (MTV) China this weekend.

Thai and English versions have already been broadcast on MTV's Southeast Asia channels, and versions in other Asian languages are planned.

The film is told from the perspective of five people, including a brothel owner, a trafficker and the victim. Both humorous and darkly depressing, "Intersection" is designed to put its message across in a medium young people can relate to.

"I hope the animation will stir meaningful conversations among youth about how we can fight against this tragic form of modern-day slavery," Zhang said.

Chinese actress Yuan Quan and Taiwanese singing and acting veteran Alec Su also give their voices to the film, described by MTV as an "adrenaline-fueled animation."

"Intersection" was produced by MTV EXIT's (End Exploitation and Trafficking) campaign, which works with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to raise awareness about human trafficking.

MTV EXIT previously has worked with such international stars as Angelina Jolie and South Korean pop sensation Rain.

"We're using a different medium, animation, to alert young people about the risks of human trafficking," said Olivier Carduner, USAID's Mission Director for Asia.

The film is also meant to be used by nongovernmental organizations and schools to spread its message.

Of the 2 million women and children trafficked every year, the United Nations estimates that 30 percent are in Asia.

China has said it was making progress in fighting the problem, both domestically and from Southeast Asian nations such as neighboring, poverty-stricken Myanmar. It has resorted to harsh punishments, including the death penalty, to deter it.

The trafficking of women into China in particular is driven by poverty and a skewed sex ratio in parts of the countryside, which makes it difficult for many farmers to find wives.

Poverty also forces many desperate Chinese to try to illegally enter other countries by paying traffickers known as "snakeheads," who often charge their victims exorbitant sums of money and force them to work as virtual slaves when they arrive.

In April, state media reported that Chinese police had broken up a ring trying to smuggle about 300 mainly young people into Costa Rica.
