20年后，武术大师黄飞鸿的传奇故事又要重登大银幕了！在今天上映的《黄飞鸿之英雄有梦》中，台湾当红小生彭于晏饰演这位中国版 “超级英雄”，诠释酷炫与朝气并存的黄飞鸿。
After 20 years, legendary martial artist Wong Fei-hung has hit the big screen again. In Rise of the Legend, which will be released this Friday, Taiwan actor Eddie Peng debuts a younger, cooler version of the Chinese “superhero”.
彭于晏的帅气固然毋庸置疑，但对于这样一部再现一代宗师传奇人生的影片，观众们势必会关注他在打戏上的表现。在他之前，出演过黄飞鸿的都是功夫巨星，包括李连杰（1991年《黄飞鸿》）和成龙（1978年《醉拳》）。对此，32岁的彭于晏坦言自己在影片拍摄时也感到“压力巨大”。
Handsome though Peng is, audiences’ focus and expectations will probably still be on how he reinterprets the character in fight scenes. His predecessors are great martial arts stars Jet Li ( Once Upon a Time in China, in 1991) and Jackie Chan (Drunken Master, in 1978), and the 32-year-old admits he felt an “immense pressure” while playing the role.
在上海宣传这部电影时，彭于晏曾谦虚自嘲，“（我）没什么才华，所以才用命拼！”他还说，“2013年一整年（我）都在做训练，（每天）晚上回去（胳膊腿）都累到没知觉。”
“I knew that I had to make desperate efforts since I’m not particularly talented. In all of 2013, I didn’t waste a single day, I just practiced and practiced. Every night when I was lying in bed, I felt my legs and arms no longer belonged to me,” Peng said at a press conference when promoting the movie in Shanghai.
对他而言，在电影拍摄过程中受伤更是家常便饭。在一场赤手空拳打爆石柱的戏中，彭于晏打到右手韧带挫伤。
He suffered numerous injuries during the movie’s production. His right hand swelled when he tried to break a stone pillar in half bare-handed.
而这并不是彭于晏第一次为了诠释不同角色而拼命训练了。
This was hardly the first time Peng pushed himself hard in trying to perfect the skills required for different roles.
在2011年上映的电影《翻滚吧!阿信》中，彭于晏扮演一位体操运动员。虽然他热爱体育运动，但真正饰演运动员仍让他历尽艰辛。学会几个基本体操动作就花了他6个月的时间，更不用提单杠、吊环和鞍马这些专业项目了。
Peng played a gymnast in his 2011 movie Jump, A-Shin!. Although passionate about sports, he struggled to adapt to the role. It took him six months to just learn a few basic gymnastic drills, not to mention how much time he spent on the horizontal bar, hand rings and pommel horse.
功夫不负有心人。由于在这部电影中的出色表现，彭于晏获得了第48届金马奖最佳男主角提名，更因此得到了《黄飞鸿之英雄有梦》导演周显扬的青睐，看到了他转型出演功夫大师的潜力，最终选择他出演黄飞鸿。周显扬在接受时光网采访时曾表示，“我觉得彭于晏很适合，是有可塑性的。他经过训练，让自己在片中的角色显得很真实。”
Hard work paid off. He was nominated Best Actor in the 48th Golden Horse Awards for his performance. Also because of the role, director Chow Hin-yeung called on him to play Wong Fei-hung, as he saw Peng’s potential to be transformed into a kung fu master. “Eddie’s a malleable performer. After some training, he can pull off any role convincingly,” Yeung said in an interview with Mtime.
随着两部电影的相继上映（另一部为《匆匆那年》），这位爱拼的演员在未来几周必将成为娱乐媒体的焦点。但是，彭于晏早已准备好迎接新的挑战，他说“（我）将来希望能演一些没演过的，比如喜剧或者反派角色。”
With two movies (the other one is Back in Time) to be released soon, the diligent actor is sure to attract a great deal of coverage in the entertainment press in the coming weeks. But Peng is already looking to rise to another challenge. “In the future, I would like to play a comedic role or a villain.”
