#104: Director candidate

Amy Pascal delivers to go home, Eric is bringing Jonathan Demme looked for a cafe in the nearby at will. After wanting two coffee and some desserts, Eric opens the mouth saying: „Jonathan, said your understanding to the «The Others» this script first.” 将艾米・帕斯卡尔送回家,艾瑞克就带着乔纳森・戴米随意在附近找了一家咖啡厅。要了两杯咖啡和一些点心之后,艾瑞克率先开口道:“乔纳森,先说说你对《小岛惊魂》这个剧本的理解吧。” Jonathan Demme accepts to test the student in school like one, the principle takes care of the mentality, said: „Compares in the sound effect that these dependence violence blood plasmas, are mysterious or strange fierce puts on make-up to realize the terrifying effect movie, «The Others» will create a brand-new psychological frightened type horror film without a doubt. In script has been full of Hitchcock -type suspense establishment, although the plot is not complex, actually throughout can firmly hold the curiosity of audience, moreover finally after the ending truth reveals, big reverse of Ghost inversion, then pleasantly surprised. Eric, many people thought that your present success benefits from caring for of ascending the sky. But if after they look at the script that you have created, I believe that anybody does not think, your talent is simply impressive.” 乔纳森・戴米像一个接受考校的学生一样,理了理思路,道:“相比于那些依靠暴力血浆、故弄玄虚的音效或者怪异狰狞的化妆来实现恐怖效果的电影来说,《小岛惊魂》毫无疑问将创造出一个全新的心理惊悚类型的恐怖片。剧本里充满了希区柯克式的悬念设置,虽然剧情并不复杂,却始终能牢牢抓住观众的好奇心,而且最后结尾真相揭示后人鬼倒置的大反转,则更加令人惊喜。艾瑞克,很多人都觉得你现在的成功得益于上天的眷顾。但如果他们看过你创作的这个剧本之后,我相信任何人都不会这么想,你的才华简直让人惊叹。” Was saying was saying, Jonathan Demme cannot help but thinks highly, Eric sees the opposite party is the praise of real from the heart, but to not try to please oneself, said with a smile: „Praise thank you, Jonathan, your understanding to this script is very proper. However, this and being insufficient makes me give you this movie, although I have not paid attention to another two Director candidates' answers with enough time, but, believes that the opposite party very much will also be interested in this movie. You thought that with Wes Craven and William compared with Frederking two terrifying masters, own merit where?” 说着说着,乔纳森・戴米就不由自主地恭维起来,艾瑞克看出对方是真的发自内心的赞扬,而不是为了取悦自己,微笑道:“谢谢你的赞扬,乔纳森,你对这个剧本的理解很到位。但是,这并不足以让我将这部电影交给你,我虽然还没来得及关注另外两位导演候选人的答复,不过,相信对方也会对这部电影很感兴趣的。你觉得,跟韦斯・克雷文和威廉・弗雷德金两位恐怖大师相比,自己的优点在哪里呢？” „Plasticity,” Jonathan Demme replied unquestioning: „Eric, I have the plasticity compared with them.” “可塑性,”乔纳森・戴米毫不迟疑地回答道:“艾瑞克,我比他们更有可塑性。” Eric sizes up the 40-year-old middle-aged person, the doubts said at present: „Plasticity?” 艾瑞克打量了一下眼前已经40多岁的中年人,疑惑道:“可塑性？” Jonathan Demme explained unhurriedly: „Yes, Eric, because just I also never have the shoots excessively horror film, this instead is I biggest superiority, I entered line of nearly 20 years, I believe that I definitely does not have the issue as the Director professional level, I can definitely write the psychological frightened idea of this script to come shoots according to you. But if gives to become famous for a long time two terrifying masters to direct «The Others», they definitely will lead into the middle of oneself individual shoots style the movie, this perhaps is not their individual original intentions, but the custom strength is very formidable. Therefore they will possibly let «The Others» return to 《Exorcist》 and 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 that traditional horror film pattern, that will no doubt play very good scary effect, but will also be hard to avoid weakening the sensational effects that the script ending Ghost reverse brings.” 乔纳森・戴米不慌不忙地解释道:“是的,艾瑞克,正因为我还从来没有拍摄过恐怖片,这反而是我最大的优势,我已经入行快20年了,我相信自己作为导演的专业水平肯定没问题,我完全可以按照你所撰写这个剧本的心理惊悚理念来拍摄。但如果将《小岛惊魂》交给成名已久的两位恐怖大师来执导的话,他们两人肯定会将自己个人的拍摄风格带入电影当中,这或许并非他们个人的本意,但习惯力量是非常强大的。因此他们很可能会让《小岛惊魂》回归到《驱魔人》、《猛鬼街》那种传统的恐怖片模式当中,那固然会起到很好的吓人效果,但也会难以避免地削弱剧本结尾人鬼反转所带来的轰动效应。” Jonathan Demme said that notes becoming less crowded in Eric expression, the backpack that from carries along puts out thick one pile to prepare the good material hastily, altogether has not actually given Eric. He knows, if such does, the opposite party is very instead possible not to look patiently. Therefore chose the most important several pages to give Eric. 乔纳森・戴米说完,注意到艾瑞克表情里的松动,连忙从随身携带的背包中拿出厚厚一摞准备好的资料,却并没有一股脑地递给艾瑞克。他知道要是这么做,对方反而很可能没有耐心看下去。因此只是从中挑取了最重要的几页递给艾瑞克。 „Eric, you look, this is my some ideas to «The Others» shoots, several I conceive the minute of scene script. I thought that when movie shoots should stress building of terrifying suspense, ejects step by step causes the audience curiosity the suspense, this can the maximum degree cover the weakness of script scene and plot, will not make the audience feel sadly. Builds above in the atmosphere, should stress the psychological constriction, but is not the stimulation in sense.” “艾瑞克,你看,这是我对《小岛惊魂》拍摄的一些想法,还有几张我设想中的分镜头脚本。我觉得,影片拍摄时应该侧重恐怖悬念的营造,分阶段抛出一个又一个引起观众好奇心的悬念,这样能最大程度地掩盖剧本场景和剧情方面的薄弱,而且不会让观众感觉到沉闷。在氛围营造上面,应该更加侧重心理上的压迫感,而不是感官方面的刺激。” Eric lowers the head to read Jonathan earnestly Demme a series of shoots idea of display, carefully read several lens design manuscripts, pointed at the unconsciousness to strike several on the tabletop. 艾瑞克低头认真阅读完乔纳森・戴米的罗列的一系列拍摄想法,又仔细看了看几张分镜头设计稿,手指无意识地在桌面上敲打了几下。 Jonathan Demme knows that the most crucial time must approach, places the right hand under tabletop to grip tightly the fist. 乔纳森・戴米知道最关键的时刻就要来临了,放在桌面下的右手紧紧握成拳头。 Compares must be blessed by God the problem-free Director experience in Eric, Jonathan wants to be rougher in the process of Hollywood wanderer, he showed the strong interest to the movie since childhood. Therefore, university time, although read was the veterinarian, has not actually taken that road, instead entered at that time also very prosperous United Artists dutifully, the odd job since lowest level did. 相比于艾瑞克如有神助般一帆风顺的导演经历,乔纳森在好莱坞闯荡的过程就要坎坷许多,他从小就对电影表现出了强烈的兴趣。因此,大学的时候虽然读的是兽医,却并没有走上那条路,反而义无反顾地进入当时还很鼎盛的联美,从最底层的杂工干起。 Has the opportunity to participate in the manufactures of some low cost B level pieces to the 30 year, in 1977, Jonathan obtained finally has instructed the opportunity of movie for the first time, but satire play of that description civil broadcasting station life, although obtained film critic applauding of continuously, actually in a complete mess that on Box Office displayed. 一直到三十岁才有机会参与一些低成本B级片的制作,1977年,乔纳森终于获得了首次指导电影的机会,但那部描写民用电台生活的讽刺剧虽然获得了影评人的一直叫好,却在票房上表现的一塌糊涂。 The accurate point, simply does not have any Box Office, Jonathan to let more people appreciates to own work, has to shell out to make a New York theater free broadcast this movie to the audience, actually as before viewer few. 准确点来说,是根本没有任何票房,乔纳森为了让更多人欣赏到自己的作品,不得不自掏腰包让纽约一家戏院免费向观众播放这部电影,却依旧观者寥寥。 That attack made Jonathan quiet the entire three years, in 1980 Jonathan another work won two awards on Oscar, made his enterprise have an improvement once more. But until now, his shoots work does not have any too great achievement in the trade. Box Office generally has several million levels, a highest talent will breaks through 10 million. 那次打击让乔纳森沉寂了整整三年,1980年乔纳森的又一部作品在奥斯卡上获得了两个奖项,才让他的事业再次有所起色。但直到现在,他拍摄的作品在商业上都没什么太大的作为。票房普遍只有几百万的水平,最高的一部才堪堪突破10000000。 In Hollywood, wants to obtain the approval as Director, does not have the movie that Box Office sells greatly is completely impossible. Before studied the personal experience of Eric, Jonathan discovered that reason that can Box Office sell with the Eric related three movies greatly, the biggest common grounds, were script that three movies were he personally write. 在好莱坞,作为一个导演想要获得认可,没有票房大卖的电影是完全不可能的。之前研究艾瑞克的个人经历的时候,乔纳森就发现,与艾瑞克相关的三部电影之所以能票房大卖,有一个最大的共同点,就是三部电影都是他亲自撰写的剧本。 Although not clear Eric why Williams will send out the Director invitation of «The Others» to oneself, but this does not hinder Jonathan to seize this opportunity. 虽然并不清楚艾瑞克・威廉姆斯为何会向自己发出《小岛惊魂》的导演邀请,但这并不妨碍乔纳森想要抓住这个机会。 After receiving the invitation, Jonathan Demme stayed up a all night to read many script repeatedly, more than once thumped the table and shouted praise to Eric that exquisite reverse establishment. Next morning, he replies Jeffrey Hansson, expressed willingness to direct this movie. 接到邀请之后,乔纳森・戴米熬了一个通宵反复阅读了好多遍剧本,不止一次对艾瑞克那个精巧的反转设置拍案叫绝。第二天一早,他就回复杰弗里・汉森,表示愿意执导这部电影。 Thinks the opposite party will relate oneself discussed signing and so on matter quickly, but waited for patiently several days, the matter did not have as follows. 原本以为对方会很快联系自己商讨签约之类的事情,但耐心地等待了几天,事情却没有了下文。 Jonathan Demme rushes to Firefly Headquarters hastily personally, had found Jeffrey, after understanding the whole story, Jonathan discovered that becomes famous compared with for a long time horror film Grandmaster with another two, oneself this any Director of shoots horror film experience as if most has not had of competitive power. 乔纳森・戴米连忙亲自赶到萤火虫总部,找到了杰弗里,了解到原委之后,乔纳森才发现,与另外两位成名已久的恐怖片大师相比,自己这个没有任何拍摄恐怖片经验的导演似乎是最没有竞争力的那个。 But Jonathan has not given up in light of this, Jonathan the movie result that although Demme directs personally is not much, but the vision is not bad, he feels «The Others» this movie keenly, if shoots comes out, will have an achievement in Box Office and award item. Therefore is more urgent to wants to have this opportunity reckless. 但乔纳森并没有就此放弃,乔纳森・戴米虽然个人执导的电影成绩不怎么样,但眼光却不差,他敏锐地感觉到《小岛惊魂》这部电影如果拍摄出来,在票房上和奖项上都将会有一番作为。因此更加迫切到不顾一切地想要得到这个机会。 Spent several days of time, Jonathan exhaustively to find out one set to convince the Eric excuse. Meanwhile he also has carried on a more profound analysis to «The Others», has made the careful preparation. For rushing to time, preventing script Director to be decided ahead of time, Jonathan already one week every day sleep not over three hours. 花了几天时间,乔纳森才绞尽脑汁的想出了一套说服艾瑞克的说辞。同时他还对《小岛惊魂》进行了更加深刻的剖析,做了很多细致的准备。为了赶时间,防止剧本导演被提前决定下来,乔纳森已经连续一个星期每天睡眠不超过三个小时了。 Reason that can also spiritual Yi Yi sit in front of Eric speaks with confidence, it is estimated that is that one breath vague is also hanging. 之所以还能精神奕奕地坐在艾瑞克面前侃侃而谈,估计也就是那一口气在若有若无地吊着。 Eric has not noted Jonathan the disturbance of Demme, knocked the tabletop to think a while, gained ground saying: „Under Jonathan, waits a bit, I telephone.” 艾瑞克没有注意到乔纳森・戴米的忐忑,敲着桌面想了一会儿,才抬头道:“乔纳森,稍等下可以吗,我打个电话。” „Naturally does not have the issue.” Jonathan has not understood that the Eric action intention, actually nodded, Eric has not made the decision directly, making Jonathan at heart many for several points to hope. “当然没问题。”乔纳森没有明白艾瑞克举动的用意,却还是点了点头,艾瑞克没有直接做出决定,让乔纳森心里多了几分希望。 Eric sets out to move toward the counter of cafe, talked several with the attendant, picked up the phone on counter to dial the number of Jeffrey office. 艾瑞克起身走向咖啡厅的柜台,跟侍应生交谈了几句,拿起柜台上的电话拨通了杰弗里办公室的号码。 „Jeffrey, is I...... Had a matter I to forget to ask, about «The Others» Director...... Right, Wes Craven and William Friedkin they had the response...... Un...... Un...... Good, I knew...... Actually is Jonathan Demme looked for me personally, I thought that his idea is good, moreover earnest that very he displays to this movie, I thought that can give him an opportunity...... Right, declined him, this, I hung...... Knows that I have the discretion.” “杰弗里,是我……有件事我忘了问了,是关于《小岛惊魂》导演的……对,韦斯・克雷文和威廉・弗莱德金他们有回应了吗……嗯……嗯……好的,我知道了……其实是乔纳森・戴米亲自来找了我,我觉得他的想法不错,而且他对这部电影表现的很热切,我觉得可以给他一个机会……对,回绝他吧,就这样,那我挂了……知道知道,我有分寸。” Made the telephone call, Eric returned to own seat. 挂了电话,艾瑞克回到自己的座位上。 Jonathan knows that the final time must certainly come, cannot help but slightly sits the straight body, the whole face hopes that is looking at Eric. 乔纳森知道最后时刻肯定要来了,不由自主地微微坐直身体,满脸期盼地望着艾瑞克。 „Jonathan, sent out the invitation before time, has said that Heroine of this movie already decided but not yet announced that do you have the opinion?” “乔纳森,之前发出邀请的时候,就说过,这部电影的女主角已经内定了,你对此有意见吗？” Jonathan the happy expression that on the Demme face revealing is difficult to cover, he knows that Eric such asked that was equal to must give him this movie: „No, I do not have the opinion. The Actor choice is the authority of producer.” Hesitated, Jonathan has not borne ask: „Eric, Heroine is...... Is which named Jennifer your Aniston’s girlfriend?” 乔纳森・戴米脸上露出难掩的喜色,他知道艾瑞克这么问,就等于要将这部电影交给他了:“不,我没有意见。演员选择本来就是制片人的权力。”迟疑了一下,乔纳森还是没忍住问道:“艾瑞克,女主角是……是你哪位名叫詹妮弗・安妮斯顿的女朋友吗？” Eric shakes the head saying: „It is not.” 艾瑞克摇头道:“不是。” Jonathan Demme could not feel relieved that worries this one asked that after having been denied the reply, has closed the mouth decisively, is not Jennifer Aniston is good, Jonathan Demme was also worried Eric mentioned this condition specially, to hold the red girlfriend. 乔纳森・戴米也就是放不下心中顾虑才有此一问,得到否认回答后,果断闭上了嘴巴,不是詹妮弗・安妮斯顿就好,乔纳森・戴米原先还担心艾瑞克特意提及这个条件,是为了捧红自己女朋友。 But that girl was too after all young, must play in script that single Mama Grace, only puts on make-up this to suffice to press the person. 但那个女孩毕竟太年轻了,要饰演剧本里那个单亲妈妈格瑞丝,仅化妆这一条就够难为人的。 Is anything relates as for true Heroine and Eric, that was not the matter that Jonathan needs to pay attention. 至于真正的女主角与艾瑞克是什么关系,那可不是乔纳森需要关注的事情了。 „That, is Eric,......” “那么,艾瑞克,是不是……” Eric nods: „Yes, Jonathan, you had the directing opportunity of this movie. William Mr. Friedkin just must direct another movie, naturally has rejected the invitation. Wes Mr. Craven showed the strong interest to this script similarly. Heroine that actually internally decides worried, in addition you just convinced my these words truly some truth, therefore I made Jeffrey decline him.” 艾瑞克点头:“是的,乔纳森,你获得了这部电影的执导机会了。威廉・弗莱德金先生刚好要执导另外一部电影,自然拒绝了邀请。韦斯・克雷文先生对这个剧本同样表现出了强烈的兴趣。却对内定的女主角有所顾虑,再加上你刚刚说服我的那些话确实有一些道理,所以我让杰弗里回绝了他。”
