与小美人同游非洲片场

by Dana Mathews

Its just another Monday at the office， except that I have a Skype注1 date with a special someone 1）shooting a movie about 8，000 miles from Manhattan. “Video call from Bella Thorne！”my computer 2）alerts me.

“Look at my hair！” she says， pulling her recently cut 3）scarlet hair toward the camera.“Ive never had short hair.” Bella cut it for her new role in The Familymoon， a comedy 4）due out next spring， in which she stars as Adam Sandlers注2 daughter. Whats cooler than being 5）cast opposite Adam Sandler？ Filming the movie on location an hour outside Johannesburg， South Africa.

这只是在办公室度过的又一个寻常的星期一，不同的是，我和一位远在曼哈顿八千多英里之外拍摄电影的特别嘉宾有一个“Skype”约会。“来自贝拉·索恩的视频通话！”我的电脑提醒我。

“你看我的头发！”她一边说，一边凑近摄像头，扯了扯最近刚剪过的棕红色头发。“我还从来没有剪过短发。”贝拉这次剪发是为了出演明年春天上映的喜剧《The Familymoon》（编者注：该片暂无译名）中的新角色，她在片中饰演亚当·桑德勒的女儿。还有什么比和亚当·桑德勒演对手戏更酷的呢？该片的拍摄地点距离南非约翰内斯堡一小时车程。

“The culture， its just beautiful，”Bella， 16， says. Her 5：45 a.m. call times “can be exhausting” （along with going to school on 6）set）， but， Bella insists， “This is one of the best opportunities Ill ever have.”She 7）reveals in our chat that her character is a basketball player with her sights set on the 8）varsity 9）squad： “I 10）worked my butt off.”Bella grabs a basketball and waves it in front of the camera. “Ive got it right here next to me. It 11）haunts me！” she laughs. “Theres a sports scene in almost every movie Adam does， and in this movie， its basketball with me！” Along with her on-the-12）court skills， Bella says shes learning from her on-screen dad： “Anytime a fan stops him， hell take a picture with them.” Also in the movie is Drew Barrymore注3， who just sent her flowers. “She has this beautiful energy when she walks into the room and gives everyone a hug，” Bella says.

On a recent day off， Bella visited the Cape of Good Hope， and went on 13）safari at Ukutula， a nearby game farm， with her mom.“Going on safari was my moms dream，” she says. “The elephants came right in front of our car， and we couldnt speak， because they could 14）charge us！”

The star admits shes always had the 15）travel bug. “Next， I really want to visit Italy，” she says. “Im Italian， and Ive always wanted to go there.”

“这里的文化太美了，”16岁的贝拉说。虽然每天早上5点45分（要到片场）的通告时间“可以很累人”（她在拍摄地还得上学），但贝拉坚称，“这是我能得到的最好的一个机会。”她在和我们聊天时透露，她在片中的角色是一个篮球运动员，一心想着进入校队：“我可卖力呢。”贝拉抓起一个篮球，在摄像头前面挥舞。“我现在身边就带着一个篮球，简直寸步不离！”她笑着说。“亚当的电影几乎每一部都有运动的场景，在这部电影中就是和我一起打篮球！”贝拉说，除了场上技能，她还向这位“银幕爸爸”学习到其他东西：“每当有影迷拦住他，他都会与他们合影。”出演这部电影的还有德鲁·巴里摩尔，她刚送过花给贝拉。“当她走进房间，身上散发出动人的气质和活力，她还和每个人一一拥抱，”贝拉说。

在最近放假的一天，贝拉游览了好望角，还和妈妈到附近的乌库土拉野生动物饲养园游猎。“去游猎一直是我妈妈的梦想，”她说。“大象直接走到了我们的车子前面，但是我们不能开口说话，因为它们可能会朝我们冲过来！”

这位明星承认她一直都有旅游的爱好。“接下来我很想去意大利，”她说。“我是意大利裔，一直想去那里。”
