《中法電影合拍協議》2010年才簽署，但超過半世紀前拍攝的中法第一部合拍片、中國第一部彩色兒童片《風箏》早已見證中法友誼與電影語言的普世性。法國兄妹與同伴在巴黎的一棵樹上撿到孫悟空造形風箏，內有書法寫的中文信。透過古董店主（謝添）的翻譯，知道風箏來自北京11 歲男孩宋小青，小青希望和同齡兒童交朋友。男孩決定給中國寫回信的夜裡出現了孫悟空（張春華），把兄妹倆送到紫禁城，隨後又去了北海、景山，全北京的小夥伴們都幫忙找宋小青。北京與巴黎的友誼是夢抑或是真實？
The very first Sino-French co-production and the first Chinese color film for children, The Magic of the Kite, shot half a century before the signing of Sino-French co-production treaty in 2010, witnesses to the Sino-French friendship and the universality of film language. A French boy and his younger sister and friends have found a Monkey King kite on a tree in Paris. Inside the kite is enclosed a letter written in Chinese calligraphy. Through the translation of the antique shop owner (Xie Tian), the French kids learn that the kite comes from the 11-year-old boy Song Xiaoqing in Beijing in hopes of making friends of his age. At night, the Monkey King appears and transmits the boy and his sister to the Forbidden City. They go to Beihai Park and Jingshan Park to look for Xiaoqing and all the children of Beijing try to help them out. Is it dream or reality? |
