摘要

在一定程度上受到好莱坞奥斯卡最佳女主角奖的启发,1933年和1934年的中国影后公开选举不仅仅是一场精彩的娱乐盛会。相反,对这些活动的历史考察有助于我们了解中国的粉丝和名人文化,并深入了解20世纪30年代中国的社会心态。本文以中国两位主要女演员吴蝶和陈玉梅为例,认为竞选活动是全球可用和当地需求之间谈判的产物。他们指出了一种“电影外话语”的瓦解,这种话语与半殖民主义、民主、封建主义和道德的话语融合在一起。这些重叠的话语往往带有性别色彩,揭示了女演员相互冲突的社会期望和责任。

‘Uneasy Lies the Head that Wears a Crown’
Inspired partly by the Academy Awards for Best Actress at Hollywood, the public elections of China’s movie queen in 1933 and 1934 were more than just splendid entertainment spectacles. Rather, a historical examination of the campaigns help us understand Chinese fandom and celebrity culture as well as providing insight into the social mentality of 1930s China. Using two major Chinese actresses, Butterfly Wu and Chen Yumei, as case studies, this article argues that the election campaigns were a product of negotiation between what was globally available and what was locally demanded. They point to an unravelling of an ‘extra-filmic discourse’ that converged with discourses on semi-colonialism, democracy, feudalism, and morality. These overlapping discourses were often gendered, revealing conflicting social expectations and responsibilities of actresses.
