中新網7月4日電 據美國《世界日報》報導，美國有線電視迪士尼頻道(Disney Channel)6月16日推出的華裔少女英雄電影《吳溫蒂：返校鬥士》(Wendy Wu：Homecoming Warrior)，大受歡迎，收視率超過所有電視網的節目，也使該頻道成為當地該周基本有線電視網的收視之冠。
在少年電影中，顯然過去當選畢業舞會皇后的崇高目標已不夠看了，現在主角必須是一個中國鬥士的化身，來拯救世界才行，這正是《吳溫蒂》的劇情。該片在上個月16日晚首映時，收視率超過當地所有的電視節目，包括ABC、CBS、NBC和FOX的節目。迪士尼頻道在5日或18日晚8時重播該片。
為何這樣一部有如電視影集《魔法奇兵》(Buffy the Vampire Slayer)亞裔版的有線電視電影會如此轟動？
迪士尼頻道娛樂總裁蓋瑞·馬許(Gary Marsh)說：“這對男孩和女孩來說，是一部純粹跨越現實的電影，其中既有舞會皇后的故事，也有像成龍一樣的動作。”
在《吳溫蒂》中，18歲的華裔布蘭迪·宋(Brendy Song)扮演一個最大夢想是成為畢業舞會皇后的女孩，但在一位年輕和尚(小山田新)告訴她，她應該去做更重要的事情後，一切都改變了。
迪士尼頻道喜歡啟用該頻道當紅影集中的明星，因為兒童觀眾更容易被他們已經認識的明星吸引。
《吳溫蒂》是專門為布蘭迪·宋打造的，現實中她是跆拳道的黑帶。她先前在該頻道熱門影集《小查與寇弟的頂級生活》(The Suite Life of Zack & Cody)中飾演被嬌寵的富家小姐“London”，父親擁有一家豪華的旅館，在該劇越來越紅時，該頻道決定由她擔任電影《吳溫蒂》的主角。
當迪士尼頻道找到曾在影片《最後武士》(The Last Samurai)中演出的24歲的功夫冠軍小山田新後，他們的團隊就組成了。《吳溫蒂》最初是要拍成30分鐘的影集，由布蘭迪·宋飾演小山田的功夫師父，但在劇情發展過程中，演變成一部原創電影。
