◎ Translation information
After the introduction of CCTV, it was commissioned by Shanghai Youth Repertory Troupe to dub and synthesize. The entire dubbing team was from Shanghai Youth Repertory Troupe. Poirot was dubbed by Zhang Mingyu. He is now an actor at the Shanghai Dramatic Art Center. He has contributed to many TV dramas in the Shanghai TV Translation Department. Dubbed and dubbed Morgan Freeman for the blockbuster (Terror Zone) that is still being translated and reproduced. The translation of the lines in the translated version of Qinghua is not precise enough, and the dubbing is just average, anyway, the voice is not very good. The translation director is Zhang Xianheng. Later, Yang 6 introduced and reissued a version, and the effect was not bad.
The first translation only matches two of the Poirot series, "Tragedy on the Nile" and "Crimes in the Sun".
If "Murder on the Orient Express" was seen on CC6, it would be dubbed by CCTV. If it is a DVD, it will be dubbed by the Shanghai Youth Drama Art Center, and some versions have also been dubbed by CCTV.

◎Movie 后
"Murder on the Orient Express" can be said to be the first Christie work to be filmed in a superstar-studded manner. It has achieved great artistic and box office success, and is therefore imitated by later detective films.
Like many other novels by Christie, "Murder on the Orient Express" is also based on a real event, the famous Lindbergh kidnapping case in the 1930s. The famous American pilot Lindbergh was the first person to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. On the evening of March 1, 1932, the kidnappers abducted his 20-month-old son from his mansion in New Jersey and demanded a ransom of $50,000. Despite paying the ransom, the body of Charles Lindbergh Jr. was found in the bushes not far from home 11 days later. Nanny Betty Groo and her boyfriend were investigated but later proved to be innocent. Maid Violet Sharpe was also suspected because of the vague testimony. She chose to commit suicide instead of telling the truth. The truth is that she had an affair with several men and fooled around in an underground bar on the night of the crime. Two years later, the police finally found a suspect, the New York carpenter Haupman. Haupman is an illegal immigrant with criminal convictions, and there is some unfavorable evidence pointing to him, especially when he found part of the number of ransoms in his garage. In court, the evidence was presented one by one. Seven handwriting experts believed that Haupman’s handwriting was consistent with the handwriting on the ransom note; some of the wood on the ladder used by the kidnappers to climb the baby room window was proud of the Puman’s home. There was a nearby pine tree, some from the floor of his house; others saw him appear near Lindbergh’s house on the day of the kidnapping; according to the middleman who paid the ransom, Haupman was the one who received the ransom with a German accent. Of course, the strongest evidence is the ransom itself. In fact, Haupman was discovered because of the use of the money, and although he did not have a fixed job, he lived a superiority inconsistent with his income during the Great Depression. Life. Haupman denied the accusation against him, arguing that the money was left by a furrier who had died in Germany; his wife proved that he did not go out at home on the night of the crime; his defense lawyer accused the police Falsify evidence. Some people think that the child died accidentally after falling from the window, but the judge told the jury that even this would not change the nature of the murder. After 11 hours of discussion, the jury reached a unanimous conclusion: guilty. Haupman always refused to plead guilty. After the appeal was rejected, he was sent to the electric chair in April 1936. After Haupman was executed, the discussion about this matter has not subsided. Some people think he is innocent because he rejected the offer of confession in exchange for life imprisonment; some people think that the furrier is the real murderer; others even think that Lindbergh himself or his wife's sister killed the child; and Haupman's wife Anna has been calling for her husband's innocence until her death.
Obviously, this sensational kidnapping case inspired Christie's creation. The similarities between Murder on the Orient Express are clear: the novel begins when the youngest daughter of American aviator Armstrong, Daisy, is kidnapped and torn up. A few months later, The kidnappers were captured, but the leader, Kesetti, escaped legal sanctions with the help of money. Daisy's pregnant mother died of grief, and his father committed suicide. A maid in the family also committed suicide because of innocence. A few years later, on the Orient Express from Istanbul to Calais, a man named Rechet was stabbed to death by twelve times. Poirot, as a passenger, started an investigation. The first thing he found was Rece. It turned out that it was Cassetti who escaped the French Open. Later, he found out that almost all the passengers in the same car had something to do with Armstrong's family. So which one of them was the murderer? Or someone else? ...
