奧巴馬伕婦進軍影視界

When he took the helm of the White House, Barack Obama was called the “first social media president”. Now in his post-White House days, the former US president and his wife Michelle Obama have moved on to work in digital media.

當貝拉克·奧巴馬執掌白宮時，他被稱爲“首位社交媒體總統”。如今從白宮退休後，這位美國前總統和他的妻子米歇爾·奧巴馬轉而投身數字媒體領域。

Last month, the US entertainment company Netflix announced that the couple had signed a multiyear agreement to produce movies and series for the company. The two will create “a diverse mix of content, including the potential for scripted series, unscripted series, documentaries, and features”, according to Netflix.

上個月，美國娛樂公司奈飛宣佈，這對夫婦已經與該公司簽訂了爲期數年的合約。奈飛表示，雙方將共同製作“一系列多元化內容，包括劇集、紀錄片以及專題片等”。

The Obamas’ productions will mainly focus on inspiring content. “One of the simple joys of our time in public service was getting to meet so many amazing people from all walks of life, and to help them share their experiences with a wider audience,” the former president said in a statement. “We hope to curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples.”

奧巴馬伕婦的作品將主要關注勵志內容。“在我們爲公衆服務的時光中，一大簡單純粹的快樂就是遇見了許多來自各行各業的了不起的人，並幫助他們將自己的經歷分享給更多受衆，”這位前總統在一份聲明中表示。“我們希望將這些才華、勵志與創造之聲組織起來，讓他們推動人們之間更多的共情與理解。”
