《阿凡达2：水之道》（Avatar: The Way of Water）大家都看了吗？

据猫眼专业版数据，截至19日0点，国内票房已经突破4亿，观影人数累计678.2万人，豆瓣评分8.2分。

凯特·温斯莱特、杨紫琼等新加盟，萨姆·沃辛顿、佐伊·索尔达娜、西格妮·韦弗等回归出演，但也有一些新人面孔抢足风头。

其中就有扮演人类小孩“蜘蛛”的男演员杰克·尚皮永（Jack Champion）。2004 年出生的他，今年才只有18 岁，

这张宣传海报出来的时候，还真是令人眼前一亮！

有意思的是，《阿凡达2》制作周期长达5年之久，当时刚进组的杰克·尚皮永还是个小男孩，等电影正式上映，已经长成了身姿挺拔的长腿男神！

When Jack Champion found out five years ago that he was auditioning for James Cameron’s long-awaited Avatar sequel, the actor — then 12 — watched the original 2009 film every day for a month. 

五年前，当杰克·尚皮永发现他要参加詹姆斯·卡梅隆期待已久的《阿凡达》续集的试镜时，这位12岁的演员连续一个月每天都在看2009年的原版电影。

“Three hours, every day,” says Champion, now 18. “It was one of my favorite movies growing up.”

“每天三个小时，”现在18岁的尚皮永说。“这是我长大后最喜欢的电影之一。”

不过他虽然只有18岁，但是表演经历已经非常丰富，客串过不少影视剧，比较出名的就是客串《分歧者2：绝地反击》、《复仇者联盟：终局之战》。

Coming off appearances in the 2018 comedy-horror filmThe Night Sitter and a small role in Avengers: Endgame, Champion plays Miles “Spider” Socorro in Avatar: The Way of Water. 

尚皮永由2018年的喜剧恐怖片《妖夜更》出道，并在《复仇者联盟：终局之战》中扮演一个小角色。他在《阿凡达：水之道》中扮演主要角色蜘蛛。

Champion remembers a highlight throughout the process — finding out that he got a screen test for Avatar on the same day that he got his role in Avengers: Endgame, playing the bicycle-riding teenager who runs into Scott Lang (Paul Rudd). “It was crazy,” the actor recalls about the big day.

记得这其中有个巧合——他在得到《复仇者联盟：终局之战》角色的同一天得到了《阿凡达》的电影试镜的邀请。《终局之战》中，他扮演骑自行车的少年，碰到了斯科特·朗（保罗·路德）。“这很疯狂狂，”这位演员回忆起那个重要的一天。

He underwent a lengthy audition process to score the role. “It was four months, starting with self-tapes,” he recalls, “and then I met with the casting director [Margery Simkin] over Skype. It was a lot of auditioning. I never was like, ‘Oh, I’m definitely going to get the role.’ Because I think as an actor, you don’t want to set yourself up for being sad. You’re always just thankful, like, ‘Hey, at least I made it this far. I can always say I got to this point.’”

为了得到这个角色，他经历了漫长的试镜。他回忆说：“大概四个月，自我录像开始，然后我通过Skype与选角导演玛格丽·西姆金见面，中间经历了大量的试镜。我从来没有想过，‘哦，我肯定会得到这个角色’。因为我认为作为一个演员，你不想让自己陷入悲伤。就总是要心存感激，比如，‘嘿，至少我走到了这一步。我总是可以为自己已取得的进步欣喜’。

In The Way of Water, in theaters Dec. 16, Champion’s character, Spider, is a teenage human who was left an orphan on Pandora after the events of the first film, and he’s taken in as an unofficial member of the Omatikaya clan of the Na’vi tribe. 

在12月16日上映的《水之道》中，尚皮永的角色蜘蛛是一个十几岁的人类，在第一部电影的事件发生后，他被留在潘多拉星球上成为孤儿，后来被接纳为纳威部落Omatikaya氏族的非正式成员。

“Growing up playing the character, you can’t help but put a lot of yourself into the [role],” he says. “[With] Spider, I feel like it’s just a different version of me that would be on Pandora, growing up in the situation he’s in.”

他说：“在扮演这个角色的过程中，你会情不自禁地把自己的很多东西投入到这个角色中去。”“对于蜘蛛这个角色，我觉得这只是一个在潘多拉星球上的不同版本的我，在他所处的环境中成长起来。“

“He considers himself one of the Na’vi people, even though he’s a human,” the actor adds about his character. “He’s not 10 feet tall, but he doesn’t let that stop him.”

“尽管他是个人类，他仍然觉得自己是纳威族人的一员，”这位演员对他的角色补充说。“他没有10英尺高，但这并没有阻碍他融入那个集体。”

The Way of Water, which was in production for nearly five years, hits theaters 13 years after the record-breaking success of the original. And, depending on how the sequel is received, Cameron is already planning future installments.

《水之道》的制作历时近五年，在原作取得史无前例的成功的13年后上映。而且，根据续集的市场反馈，卡梅隆已经在计划未来的作品。

“It’s an honor to work with Jim for four and a half years of my life,” Champion says of the director. “He knows everything about every department, from acting to lighting to stunts to cinematography. A lot of the time, he’d hold the camera himself, do his own camera work. He’s just a cinematic genius. After so many years, he has kind of become like a father figure to me.”

“能在我生命中的四年半时间里与吉姆一起工作是一种荣誉，”尚皮永在谈到这位导演时说。“他对每个部门都了如指掌，从表演到灯光到特技到电影摄影。很多时候，他自己拿着摄像机做摄影工作。他就是一个电影天才。这么多年过去了，他已经有点像我的父亲的形象一样。”

为了达到导演的拍摄要求，杰克·尚皮永的日常不是在健身，就是在健身的路上，他的Instagram上记录了不少自己的训练过程，他为这个角色付出了太多汗水。

Next, Champion is set to appear in Scream 6 (due out in March) — a role that feels like “a fantasy come true” for the actor. 

接下来，尚皮永将出现在《惊声尖叫6》（将于3月上映）中。这个角色对这位演员来说是 “梦想成真”。

“I watched the Scream movies in October of 2021 and immediately I became a huge fan of horror and slashers. Last Halloween, I dressed as Ghostface, and then, literally in less than a year, I would be cast in the next movie.”

“我在2021年10月看了《惊声尖叫》电影，立刻就成了恐怖片的超级粉丝。去年万圣节，我打扮成鬼脸，然后，真的在不到一年的时间里，我就会被选入出演下一部电影。”

The Way of Water star also will appear in Lionsgate’s upcoming Liam Neeson-starring thriller Retribution, and he’s also shooting Freaky Tales, directed by Captain Marvel helmers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.

尚皮永还将出现在狮门影业即将推出的连姆·尼森主演的惊悚片《极速营救》中，他还在拍摄由《惊奇队长》掌舵人安娜·博登和瑞恩·弗莱克执导的《怪诞故事》。

After working on such a massive undertaking as The Way of Water, Champion finds that he’s enjoying the flexibility of smaller projects. “You feel more in control of things. It’s like, ‘Oh, maybe my character wouldn’t do that’ or, ‘Instead of having that costume, I could dress like that [instead].’ I think you get a lot of creative legroom with a smaller production — because with big stuff, I guess there’s more corporate decisions that have already been made.”

在完成了《水之道》这样的影片后，尚皮永发现他很享受小制作的灵活性。“你觉得对事情的控制力更强。这就像，‘哦，也许我的角色不会那样做’，或者，‘我可以不穿那种服装，而是穿成那样来代替’。我认为你在小制作中得到了很多创造性的空间——因为对于大的影片，很多决定公司就已经做出了。"

At this stage in his career, the Virginia-based actor hasn’t made the move to Hollywood just yet. “Everything is over Zoom now,” he says. “I want to keep my home in Virginia, but never say never.”

在他职业生涯的这个阶段，这位来自弗吉尼亚州的演员还没有向好莱坞进军。“现在干什么都能线上了，”他说。“我想留在弗吉尼亚的家，但我不会排除其他的可能。”

颜值高身材好，又经过了大片的磨砺，这样的宝藏男孩怎么能不让人心动，你看好他未来的发展吗？
