成长故事·Stories
To act is to tell a story—someone el’s story. This is what Rami Malek did when he played Freddie Mercury—the lead singer of a famous UK Band, Queen—in his latest film Bohemian Rhapsody. And Malek did it well, as he took home the Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role on Feb. 24, 2018.
In order to tell the story of the rock star Freddie Mercury as honestly as possible, Malek had to give his all. The 37-year-old US actor spent hours and hours watching every Queen video he could get his hands on. He hired voice and movement coaches to help him learn Freddie
表演就是讲故事——讲述他人的故事。拉米·马雷克在其最新的电影《波西米亚狂想曲》中扮演英国皇后乐队的主唱佛莱迪·摩克瑞时，就是这么做的。2018年2月24日，他凭借出色的表演，获得奥斯卡金像奖最佳男主角奖。

Mercury’s accent and postures. He took singing lessons becau he had to sing at the top of his voice in the film, even he knew the voice we hear wouldn’t be his: Malek wanted his performance to be as real as possible. And since Freddie Mercury had buckteeth（龅牙）, Malek began to wear a t
of fake teeth a year before the film even started shooting, just so he could get ud to the feeling of speaking while wearing fake teeth.
The reason that Malek was so dedicated to the role is probably becau he himlf could relate to Freddie Mercury. Like the singer, who was born in Zanzibar, Africa, and later moved to London, Malek is from an immigrant family himlf. His parents moved from Egypt to the United States before Malek was born.
“I’m a first generation American. I can understand what it feels like to be different and feel 动作教练，帮助他学习佛莱迪·摩克瑞的口音和姿态。由于在电影中必须放声高歌，他还参加了声乐课程，即使他知道观众在电影中听到的歌声并不是他自己的。由于佛莱迪·摩克瑞有龅牙，马雷克甚至在电影开拍前一
年，就戴上了一套假牙。这样他就能习惯带着假牙说话的感觉了。
马雷克对这一角色如此上心，或许是因为他对佛莱迪·摩克瑞的经历能产生共鸣。摩克瑞出生在非洲的桑给巴尔岛，后来移居伦敦。马雷克也来自一个移民家庭。在他出生之前，马雷克一家从埃及搬到了美国。
“我是第一代美国人。我能理解与众不同的感觉，就像一条离开水的鱼，在一个我感觉很难融入的环境
中挣扎着，想知道我是谁。”马雷克

Best Actor award—the success was so sweet.
So perhaps Malek was not just telling someone
el’s story when he played Freddie Mercury. He
was telling his own story too.在接受美国广播公司新闻频道采访时说。或许是因为他的出身，马雷克在他出演的大多数影视剧中都很难担任主角。而找他出演小角色，也都因为他是埃及裔，包括《博物馆奇妙夜》系列喜剧中的法老，以及电视剧《24小时》中的一名恐怖分子。这真的让马雷克感到很失落。但马雷克从未放弃他的梦想。这也是为什么当他获得奥斯卡最佳男主角奖，特别是近12年来首位非白人获得此奖，便显得尤为珍贵。所以，马雷克在饰演佛莱迪·摩克瑞这个角色时，并不只是在讲述别人的故事，也是在讲述自己的过往经历。
