魔术背后：谁在讲述罗比的故事？

迈克尔·格雷西 (Michael Gracey) 是《马戏之王》的富有远见的导演，也是《更好的人》的幕后策划者。格蕾丝以将壮观与真挚融为一体的能力而闻名，他是将罗比生活的混乱和魅力带到大银幕上的完美选择。

Michael Gracey, the visionary behind The Greatest Showman, is not only directing Better Man, but he’s also co-writing the screenplay. Together with Oliver Cole and Simon Gleeson, they’re ensuring that every beat of the story resonates with authenticity and a flair that's uniquely Robbie.

《马戏之王》背后的远见卓识迈克尔·格雷西不仅执导《更好的人》，而且还与人共同撰写剧本。他们与奥利弗·科尔 (Oliver Cole) 和西蒙·格里森 (Simon Gleeson) 一起，确保故事的每一个节奏都与罗比的真实性和独特才华产生共鸣。

Of course, this isn’t your standard biopic. With a monkey as the star, Gracey has leaned into visual effects wizardry to create a film that’s as unconventional as its subject. And then there’s Robbie himself, who's heavily involved in the project, lending his voice and creative input to ensure that his story is told exactly how he wants it: unapologetically and with a massive dose of self-awareness.

当然，这不是标准的传记片。以一只猴子为主角，格雷西依靠视觉效果魔法创作了一部与其主题一样非传统的电影。然后是罗比本人，他积极参与了这个项目，提供了自己的声音和创造性的投入，以确保他的故事完全按照他想要的方式讲述：毫无歉意，并且具有大量的自我意识。

A Monkey Playing Robbie? Of Course!

猴子扮演罗比？当然！

Let’s address the elephant—or rather, the monkey—in the room. In a bold and bizarre move, a motion-capture CGI monkey will portray Robbie Williams. While this might sound like the setup for a joke, it’s actually an inspired choice that reflects the surreal nature of fame and Robbie’s own playful self-deprecation. After all, who better to encapsulate the wild highs, crushing lows, and outright absurdity of pop stardom than a cheeky primate?

让我们来谈谈房间里的大象——或者更确切地说，猴子。一只动作捕捉 CGI 猴子将扮演罗比·威廉姆斯，这是一个大胆而奇异的举动。虽然这听起来像是一个笑话，但它实际上是一个充满灵感的选择，反映了名气的超现实本质和罗比自己顽皮的自嘲。毕竟，还有谁比厚颜无耻的灵长类动物更能概括流行歌星的狂野高潮、毁灭性低谷和彻头彻尾的荒谬呢？

The monkey’s performance will serve as a symbolic lens through which to view Robbie’s life—his struggles with fame, his battles with addiction, and his ability to laugh in the face of adversity. It’s a move that's equal parts audacious and genius, much like Robbie himself.

猴子的表演将作为一个象征性的镜头，通过它来观察罗比的生活——他与名誉的斗争，他与毒瘾的斗争，以及他面对逆境时微笑的能力。这一举动既大胆又天才，就像罗比本人一样。

Robbie Williams: The Legend, the Rebel, and the Cheeky Monkey

罗比·威廉姆斯：传奇、叛逆者和厚脸皮的猴子

For those who need a refresher, Robbie Williams isn’t just a pop star—he’s a cultural institution. From his early days as the breakout star of Take That to his explosive solo career, Robbie has delivered chart-topping hits like “Angels,” “Rock DJ,” and “Feel,” becoming one of the best-selling artists of all time. His electrifying stage presence and raw charisma have made him a household name across the globe.

对于那些需要复习一下的人来说，罗比·威廉姆斯不仅仅是一位流行歌星，他还是一个文化机构。从早期作为《Take That》的突破明星到他爆炸性的个人生涯，罗比创作了《Angels》、《Rock DJ》和《Feel》等排行榜冠军单曲，成为有史以来最畅销的艺术家之一。他令人振奋的舞台表现和原始魅力使他成为全球家喻户晓的名字。

But Robbie’s appeal goes beyond the music. His unfiltered honesty about his struggles with addiction, mental health, and the pressures of fame has endeared him to millions. He’s the guy who lets you in, flaws and all, and that vulnerability is what makes him so compelling.

但罗比的吸引力不仅仅在于音乐。他对自己与毒瘾、心理健康和名利压力的斗争的坦诚诚实赢得了数百万人的喜爱。他是那个让你接纳你的人，不管你有什么缺点，而正是这种脆弱让他如此引人注目。

By casting a monkey in his place, Better Man isn’t just telling Robbie’s story—it’s embracing his penchant for the unexpected. It’s a bold move that reminds us why Robbie has always stood out: he’s never been afraid to break the mold.

通过让一只猴子代替他，《更好的人》不仅讲述了罗比的故事，还体现了他对意外事物的偏爱。这是一个大胆的举动，它提醒我们为什么罗比总是脱颖而出：他从不害怕打破常规。
