#120: Richard Gere interview

„Actor's setting is very strange, he has the doctorate, but also excels at a very mysterious Eastern Tai Chi, but is actually resigned to do is looking at gathering place the work of cowboy in the bar. Then, Director very much irritably built a biased avenger it, but was actually not a qualified avenger, he can massacre these to be young gratefully, regarding will actually hate the value biggest feudal bully to be lenient with oneself, finally instead was almost massacred by the enemy. In brief, this is in a plot makes people very irritable very puzzled movie.” Chicago Tribune “男主角的设定很离奇,他拥有博士学位,还擅长一种很神秘的东方太极拳,但却甘心做着在酒吧看场子的马仔的工作。然后,导演又很别扭地将其打造成了一个偏执的复仇者,但却又不是一个合格的复仇者,他可以毫不客气地杀掉那些小喽啰,却会对于跟自己仇恨值最大的恶霸手软,最后反而差点被对方杀掉。总而言之,这是一部情节上让人很别扭很纠结的电影。”《芝加哥论坛报》 „Movie is flooding anarchism the law enforcement of secretly, the lawless destruction and unscrupulous violence, simply is a farce.” «Movie Guide» magazine “影片充斥着无政府主义的私自执法,无法无天的破坏和肆无忌惮的暴力,简直是一场闹剧。”《电影指南》杂志 „I only saw the blood plasma that the class | fighting and shatter beer of wine bottle bum, one group of big chest girls and spatter in all directions, the plot does not have the persuasive power palely, Richard Gere also makes the person unable to raise the half minute interest for muscle that the movie exercises specially, he movement in movie did not even have the supporting role of villain to be neat.” «Montreal Movie magazine» “我只看到了流丨氓的斗殴、破碎的啤酒瓶、一群大胸女郎和迸溅的血浆,剧情苍白毫无说服力,理查・基尔特意为电影锻炼出的一身肌肉也让人提不起半分兴趣,他在电影中的动作甚至还没有反派的配角干脆利落。”《蒙特利尔电影杂志》 „Laughable and fist fable of noise.” «Reel Film review» “一部可笑而喧嚣的拳头寓言。”《卷轴电影评论》 „This completely is the movie that can remove the actor, then the matter according to the plot development of movie, the double dice bar will be reorganized as before, causes coveting of feudal bully, the small town resident who a series of violence, arsons and murder, are then driven beyond the limits of forbearance rises spiritedly to revolt, massacres the feudal bully, Richard Gere for this kind of movie, gave up Eric Williams 《Pretty Woman》, does not know that can because of regretting to lose sleep.” «Hollywood Reporter» “这完全是一部可以去掉男主角的电影,然后事情依旧会按照电影的剧情发展,双骰酒吧被整顿,引起恶霸的觊觎,一系列暴力、纵火、凶杀,然后忍无可忍的小镇居民奋起反抗,杀掉恶霸,理查・基尔为了这样一部电影,放弃了艾瑞克・威廉姆斯的《风月俏佳人》,不知道会不会因为后悔而失眠。”《好莱坞信息报》 „Besides alternation rock and roll dubbing in music, this movie has no merit to speak of simply.” «Rolling Stone» magazine “除了穿插其中的摇滚配乐之外,这部电影简直一无是处。”《滚石》杂志 Because of the vigorous propaganda of United Artists earlier period to this movie, «Road House» has achieved over 70% in the booking rates of more than 1900 theater first dates, but after being shown to the public the movie one-sided wickedness comments, booking rate straight glide. 因为联美前期对这部电影的大力宣传,《威龙杀阵》在1900多家影院首日的上座率达到了七成以上,但随着公映后电影一边倒的恶评,上座率直线下滑。 Three days later, Easter running schedule first weekend Box Office draws a charge. Screened the sixth week 《Pretty Woman》 not to present Box Office counter to fall accidentally, received 2.4 million compared with last weekend, took the first places of weekend three days of Box Office lists by 1127 ten thousand USD result, six weeks of Box Office 97.69 million, believe after this complete week, Eric will soon welcome the third Box Office broken hundred million movies that he participated. Relates will also celebrate his 19 th birthday to the Eric several months, this result will again definitely welcome the noise of media to fry hotly. 三天之后,复活节档期首周末票房出炉。上映第六周的《风月俏佳人》毫无意外地出现了一次票房逆跌,比上周末多收2400000,以1127万美元的成绩拿下来周末三天票房榜的榜首,六周累计票房97690000,相信这一完整周过后,艾瑞克即将迎来他参与的第三部票房破亿电影。联系到艾瑞克还有好几个月才会迎来他的19岁生日,这个成绩肯定会再一次迎来媒体的一阵喧嚣热炒。 Although «Road House» has about 2000 to operate the picture silver screen, but along with large falling of Saturday and Sunday booking rate, has only attained 5 250,000 USD first weekend Box Office, is the second place by insufficient 《Pretty Woman》 50% result. 虽然《威龙杀阵》拥有将近2000块开画银幕,但随着周六和周日上座率的大幅下跌,只拿到了525万美元的首周末票房,以不足《风月》一半的成绩位列亚军。 Third is Universal Pictures crime comedy «Fletcher Life», harvests 504 ten thousand USD in more than 1400 theaters. 第三名是环球影业的犯罪喜剧《弗莱彻的生活》,在1400多家影院收获504万美元。 Because Columbia increased the reason of the bolster support and Easter running schedule, screens the 18 th week «Home Alone» unknowingly takes Box Office that 4 million have raised one's head, to 300 million USD very nearly, is in the Box Office list first place regarding this consecutively for 12 weeks with steady steps, screens for four months to depend as in the Box Office dark horse that the Box Office first five lives do not leave, all people were numb. 因为哥伦比亚加大了支持力度和复活节档期的缘故,上映到第18周的《小鬼当家》不知不觉中又拿下了400万出头的票房,稳步地向三亿美元挺近着,对于这部连续12周占据票房榜榜首,上映四个多月依旧赖在票房前五名死活不离开的票房黑马,所有人都已经麻木了。 Perhaps waited which day, «Home Alone» Box Office accumulates 300 million USD suddenly, the public saw after the digit , will again open both eyes, exuded one ‚’ and so on feeling. 或许等哪一天,《小鬼当家》票房突然积累到了三亿美元,公众们看到数字后才会再一次睁大双眼,发出一声‘哇’之类的感慨。 The new week, Eric had finished the electing corner/horn screen test work of 《Running Out of Time》, has given two Director «The Others» and 《Scent of a Woman》 screen test, then starts to rush about in the big Los Angeles area carries on to choose the scenery for the movie. 新的一周,艾瑞克结束了《暗战》的选角试镜工作,将《小岛惊魂》和《闻香识女人》的试镜交给了两位导演,便开始奔波在大洛杉矶地区为影片进行选景。 The scene that in 《Running Out of Time》 needs although are not many, but actually some massive scene need to carry on Feng Road shoots, but wanted to find the appropriate place is not an easy matter. 《暗战》里所需要的场景虽然并不多,但却有大量镜头需要进行封路拍摄,但想要找到合适的场所并不是一件容易的事情。 Meanwhile, Eric has also discovered the insufficiency in oneself strength inside story. As the Hollywood supreme headquarters, bolster support of Los Angeles to the movie is big in the policy, but does not mean that the movie dramatic team can act in a self-serving manner, shoots of many scene need the authorizations of various types of municipal departments, although the elasticity is very big, but the process is tedious. 同时,艾瑞克也发现了自己实力底蕴上的不足。作为好莱坞的大本营,洛杉矶在政策上对电影的支持力度非常大,但也并不意味着电影剧组可以为所欲为,很多场景的拍摄都需要各种市政部门的批准,虽然弹性很大,但过程却非常繁琐。 Moreover, the related human relations are also essential, although Eric now the fame is very big, but becomes famous many years of big Director and gold medal Producer definitely unable to compare with these, perhaps sometimes others are only the matters that a telephone can handle, he actually has to personally act to communicate repeatedly. 而且,相关的人脉关系也必不可少,艾瑞克现在虽然名气很大,但与那些成名多年的大导演、金牌制作人完全无法比较,或许有时候别人只是一个电话就能搞定的事情,他却不得不亲自出面反复进行沟通。 This movie Columbia regards as important luckily very much, to guarantee the movie can starting shoots, send an experienced producer to assist Eric to arrange as soon as possible specially, greatly shortened the preliminary setup time. 幸好这部电影哥伦比亚很看重,为了保证电影能够尽快开机拍摄,特意派来了一位经验丰富的制片人协助艾瑞克进行筹备,才大大缩短了前期的准备时间。 When Eric is 《Running Out of Time》 carries on to choose scenery, another matter also unknowingly happens. 在艾瑞克为《暗战》进行选景的时候,另外一件事也不知不觉中发生了。 This disturbance starts in Richard Gere, this already year about 40 past superstar drew a charge after 《Pretty Woman》 first weekend Box Office, starts to losing 《Pretty Woman》 actor matter more and more takes to heart, he knows that he has missed a time very precious returning A level superstar opportunity, especially recently the Box Office failure of «Road House», making him more annoying and regret. 这场风波开始于理查・基尔,这位已经年近40的昔日巨星从《风月》首周末票房出炉之后,就开始对失去《风月》男主角这件事越来越耿耿于怀,他知道自己错过了一次很珍贵的重返A级巨星的机会,特别是最近《威龙杀阵》的票房失败,让他变得更加懊恼和后悔。 After «Road House», Richard the Gere mentality desperately hopes that can obtain a movie film approximately to stand up from failure again, he also thought that Creative Artists Agency has the responsibility and helps itself voluntarily, because this is the opposite party owes him, if not for Michael the Ovitz personal gratitude and grudges, he is impossible to give up the 《Pretty Woman》 actor. 《威龙杀阵》之后,理查・基尔心态迫切地希望能再获得一部电影片约翻身,他也觉得CAA有责任和义务帮助自己,因为这是对方欠他的,如果不是为了迈克尔・奥维茨的私人恩怨,他不可能放弃《风月》的男主角。 Therefore, Richard Gere wants and Michael repeatedly Ovitz spoke face-to-face, what a pity present Michael after the Ovitz success was between Sony Financial Group and Coca Cola brought both sides together, is being busy with coordinating Sony and Columbia purchase case, did not have the free time to respond Richard Gere this minor matter, but attended to carry out the loving relationship to give Richard Gere manager Horner Wily, was that has the serious cleanliness, was instigated Stewart by Eric Runkle collaborated maliciously disgustingly a fellow. 为此,理查・基尔多次想要跟迈克尔・奥维茨面谈,可惜现在的迈克尔・奥维茨成功为索尼财团和可口可乐之间牵线搭桥后,正在忙于协调索尼与哥伦比亚的收购案,没工夫搭理理查・基尔这件小事,只是将事情交给了理查・基尔的经纪人霍纳・威利,就是那个有严重洁癖,被艾瑞克怂恿斯图尔特・朗克尔联手狠狠恶心了一把的家伙。 Horner Wily according to Richard the Gere present situation, has recommended an actor of small cost terrifying movie for him, Richard Gere is certainly unsatisfied, a Universal Pictures medium manufacture movie that he settled on Creative Artists Agency be responsible, said that this request does not calculate too excessive. But Horner Wily actually did not agree that is Richard Gere strives for that role. He took Universal not to be impossible to begin using an originally to fall into two floors, just to develop to pound big manufacture Actor to reject Richard for the reason directly Gere. 霍纳・威利依照理查・基尔的现状,为他推荐了一部小成本恐怖电影的男主角,理查・基尔当然不满意,他看中了CAA正在负责的环球影业的一部中等制作电影,说起来,这个要求也不算太过分。但霍纳・威利却不同意为理查・基尔争取那个角色。他以环球不可能启用一个原本已经落入二线底层、又刚刚演砸了一部大制作的演员为理由直接拒绝了理查・基尔。 Horner Wily is one of the Creative Artists Agency very early a number of manager, now is also Creative Artists Agency gold medal manager, even if many A level Actor is polite to him, this slowly has also encouraged this manager temperament. But Richard Gere completely losing the fault of 《Pretty Woman》 this opportunity put the blame in Creative Artists Agency completely, the resentment accumulation of moral nature for a long time, in Horner Wily rejected after he strove for that role, has had a injured by cheating anger, then erupted thoroughly. 霍纳・威利是CAA很早的一批经纪人之一,现在也是CAA的金牌经纪人,哪怕是很多A级演员都对他客客气气的,这也慢慢助长了这位经纪人的脾气。而理查・基尔完全是将失去《风月》这次机会的失误全部归咎到了CAA身上,心底的怨气积累已久,在霍纳・威利拒绝为他争取那个角色之后,又产生了一股被坑骗的愤怒,然后彻底爆发了出来。 Two people in Horner in Wily's office loudly quarrelled, if not other discovery not wonderful people rushes to prevent promptly, they likely begin to hit. 两个人在霍纳・威利的办公室里大吵了一架,如果不是发现不妙的其他人及时闯进去阻止,两人很可能动手打起来。 After this matter, Richard Gere had been separated from Creative Artists Agency on the same day, and in the third day that the matter occurred, depends upon friend's introduction, has joined another broker giant William Morris Corporation( William Morris Agency). 这件事之后,理查・基尔当天就脱离了CAA,并在事情发生的第三天,依靠朋友的介绍,加入了另外一家经纪巨头威廉莫里斯公司（WMA）。 This matter can be time very normal Actor changes job, the changing job event that among Hollywood several big Brokerage Firm, has every year is countless, even if were known as that established Creative Artists Agency of one perfect betrayal cost system to be also avoidless, but met are relatively less. Creative Artists Agency so-called ‚betrayal cost’ system, what are more prevents its manager independence gateway, because the Creative Artists Agency five founders were in the past changed job from another broker giant. But is not big to these big star binding forces, the top star wants to leave is a very easy matter, 23 stars, so long as is willing to pay the penalty, can leave easily, the film and television industry chain resources that just present Creative Artists Agency has are huge, therefore the majority of stars enough had not been tempted | are puzzled, will not leave this big tree easily. 这件事本来会是一次很正常的演员跳槽,好莱坞几大经纪公司之间,每年发生的这种跳槽事件不计其数,即使号称设置了一套完善的背叛成本制度的CAA也无法避免,只不过会相对少一些。CAA的所谓‘背叛成本’制度,更多的是防止其本身的经纪人自立门户,因为CAA五个创始人都是当年从另外一个经纪巨头跳槽出来的。而对那些大牌明星本人束缚力并不大,顶级明星想要离开是一件很容易的事情,23线明星,只要愿意支付违约金,也可以轻易离开,只不过现在的CAA拥有的影视产业链资源非常庞大,所以大部分明星没有受到足够的诱丨惑,是不会轻易离开这颗大树的。 Moreover, Creative Artists Agency also prompt is Horner Wily and Richard Gere their quarrel have issued the severe seal command, thinks this matter unknowingly will pass. But had actually forgotten Richard Gere is also one of the litigants. 而且,CAA也及时为霍纳・威利和理查・基尔两人的争吵事件下了严厉的封口令,原本以为这件事会不知不觉地过去。但却忘记了理查・基尔也是当事人之一。 Richard changing job of Gere, has caused the ideas of some media quickly, when accepts «Hollywood Reporter» Reporter interviews, Richard that the moral nature hatred is difficult to disappear Gere by one ‚victim’ the status, has discredited Creative Artists Agency maliciously. Next day, on «Hollywood Reporter» presented one by «interview Richard Gere: Loses ‚Pretty Woman’ detailed inside story» of lead is the title article. 理查・基尔的跳槽,很快引起了一些媒体的主意,在接受《好莱坞信息报》记者采访的时候,心底恨意难消的理查・基尔以一个‘受害人’的身份,将CAA狠狠地抹黑了一把。第二天,《好莱坞信息报》上就出现了一篇以《专访理查・基尔:失去‘风月’主角的详细内幕》为标题的文章。 „ Recently, once hopefully acted the leading role in Eric Williams Box Office does in a big way 《Pretty Woman》 famous Actor Richard Gere left cooperation very for a long time innovation entertainer Brokerage Firm suddenly( Creative Artists Agency), when accepts the newspaper reporter interviewed, Richard Gere had revealed to us finally initially has to reject the 《Pretty Woman》 actor piece approximately the concrete process. “近日,曾经有望主演艾瑞克・威廉姆斯票房大作《风月俏佳人》的著名演员理查・基尔突然离开了合作很久的创新艺人经纪公司（CAA）,接受本报记者采访时,理查・基尔终于向我们吐露了当初不得不拒绝《风月》男主角片约的具体经过。 The following is Richard original words of Mr. Gere: Initially I saw 《Pretty Woman》 this script time, I thought that this can be a very splendid story, was suitable my image, I for this reason have even made some role preparations. Eric although Williams is very young, but I through watching his first two works, understood that he is one has the young people of talent very much. When I must complies with that piece to make, my former manager, Horner Wily suggested that I reject the opposite party. 以下是理查・基尔先生的原话:当初我看到《风月》这个剧本的时候,我就觉得,这会是一个很精彩的故事,非常适合我的形象,我甚至为此都做了一些角色准备。艾瑞克・威廉姆斯虽然很年轻,但我通过观看他前两部作品,了解到他是一个很有才华的年轻人。但是当我要答应下来那个片约的时候,我的前经纪人,霍纳・威利却暗示我拒绝对方。 I was very at that time puzzled, then Horner Wily said to me, because Eric Williams had just gathered Kapoor Sid, Michael Mr. Ovitz and Kapoor Sid they have very deep contradiction. Therefore does not like the entertainer and Eric Williams has any cooperation, understanding that said that is Michael Ovitz wants to force out Eric Williams. 我当时很不解,然后霍纳・威利就对我说,因为艾瑞克・威廉姆斯刚刚招揽了卡普尔・希德,迈克尔・奥维茨先生与卡普尔・希德两人有很深的矛盾。所以不喜欢旗下艺人与艾瑞克・威廉姆斯有任何合作,说的明白一点,就是迈克尔・奥维茨想要封杀艾瑞克・威廉姆斯。 However, I do not want to let go that opportunity, therefore with Horner Wily discussed. However I obtain is actually the vague threat, if I and Eric Williams cooperates, then after me, will be refrigerated by Creative Artists Agency, at that time I was in the ebb tide time of enterprise, because of the threat of frightened Creative Artists Agency, has to refuse the 《Pretty Woman》 piece to make. 但是,我并不想放弃那个机会,于是就跟霍纳・威利商议。但是我得到的却是隐晦的威胁,如果我与艾瑞克・威廉姆斯合作的话,那么我以后将受到CAA的冷藏,当时我本来就处于事业的低潮期,因为恐惧CAA的威胁,才不得不拒绝了《风月》的片约。 Then, Creative Artists Agency in the name of comforting, has given me a United Artists action movie «Road House» actor, I see that script time, to Horner Wily said: No, this role image does not suit me, although I have developed the action movie, perhaps but this role extremely in the violence, looks for muscle male to develop is more appropriate. 然后,CAA就以安抚的名义,将联美的一部动作片《威龙杀阵》的男主角给了我,我看到那个剧本的时候,就对霍纳・威利说:不,这个角色形象不适合我,我虽然演过动作片,但这个角色太过于暴力,或许找一个肌肉男来演更加合适一些。 Horner Wily said me to have no alternative, I have to receive «Road House» by very low salary, in order to conforms to piece the image of actor, I have carried on some time high-strength fitness specially. But the movie failed finally. 霍纳・威利却说我别无选择,紧接着我就不得不以很低的片酬接下了《威龙杀阵》,为了能更加符合片中男主角的形象,我特意进行了一段时间的高强度健身。但影片终于还是失败了。 Today reason that exposes these , because I thought that Creative Artists Agency had forgotten own status, they after monopolizing too many resources, becomes unscrupulously acts in a self-serving manner, but for certain people personal gratitude and grudges, to demonstrate individual authority, can crack a joke with the Actor future, can make the chip with other movies of company several million investments, this is a very bad matter. Brokerage Firm should for the Actor service, should take the benefit of employer as the first criterion, this can survive for a long time, but Creative Artists Agency actually starts to regard the board game piece in hand Actor to manipulate now willfully, sooner or later will court destruction. ” 今天之所以将这些曝光出来,是因为我觉得CAA已经忘记了自己的身份,他们在垄断了太多的资源后,就变得肆无忌惮为所欲为,而某些人为了一点私人恩怨,为了显示个人的权力,可以拿演员的前程开玩笑,可以拿其他公司几千万投资的电影做筹码,这是一件很恶劣的事情。经纪公司本该是为了演员服务的,应该以雇主的利益为第一准则,这样才能长久的生存下去,但现在CAA却开始将演员当成了手中的棋子任意摆弄,早晚会自取灭亡。”
