New Chinese Movie IGIRL

[Chise]

I took a quick look over some of the video from the steaming link. I can probably translate iit, but I've never actually done subtitling before. Might be a fun project if people are interested.

Anyone with experience creating subtitle files and how that is formatted?

I've edited subtitle files in a text editor.
Very straight-forward, time code and text.

Code: Select all

221
00:22:15,777 --> 00:22:18,144
See, I've already gone places.

222
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,335
I just want to stay where I am.

Take some other language subtitle file for IGirl, that has all the times.
Then it's all about translation.

Ooo... that would be a good idea. Is there a subtitle file out there for any language? I haven't found any

[dale coba]

Sorry, no subtitles files I could see.
It seems the only movie copies so far are hard-coded mp4s.
If an mkv shows up I can rip the subtitles from that.

Thanks for ftp upload. Is the file damaged or is this version of the movie off or censored?

Been obsessing on this one for a while (who hasn't?) and going by still photos and screencaps I've seen, there should be a scene in which iGirl 001 has her first malfunction or freeze or battery runs out in the beginning of the film while in her blue dress. But this doesn't seem to be in the version on FTP, and the version on FTP seems to be out of order? The scene leading up to her first malfunction is at the start, then a sudden cut just as she is about to get physical with the guy for the fist time and probably malfunction, and then suddenly opening credits? And then we see the guy ordering the iGirl, then a weird cut again, to him dragging her frozen body to the recharge station, so there was surely a malfunction scene that is missing. Is it just my download went bad?

I would love it if somehow it was censored by the government for some absolutely insane reason.

"The Party has requested we censor this scene. We were told that if the People's Republic of China EVER makes sexy android girls, they will NEVER malfunction."

[Chise]

well if anyone knows if there is a uncensored version... do post. I don't think so myself. This is a comedy, not an adult film! xD
I am curious if the original language is Mandarin or Cantonese though. The only videos I have found are in Mandarin and the lips do not seem to sync up correctly. Plus I think the trailers were in Cantonese.

Almost 1/3 of the way through subbing the film here xD

[Aki]

The original is definitely in Cantonese, not Mandarin. The film is a Sci-Fi comedy.

Speaking of malfunctions, Saya, could you check PMs? I'm not sure the board system properly indicates when one receives them, but you've got an unread one from me.
