„Main technique that although model special effect now or the special effect movie uses, but I can affirm that little ten years, many 20 years, CG Special Effects definitely will replace the model special effect becomes the mainstream of special effect movie, probably ten years ago, Industrial Light & Magic manufactured the entire cg scene in the movie, but last year in Jim that «The Abyss», even presented the entire cg role, these were the most direct-viewing performance of this development trend,” in the Crull dining room, Eric just and opposite Stan Winston and James Cameron spoke with confidence. “虽然模型特效现在还是特效电影所使用的主流技术,但我敢肯定,少则十年,多则20年,cg特效肯定会代替模型特效成为特效电影的主流,大概十年前,工业光魔就在电影中制作出了全cg的场景,而去年吉姆的那部《深渊》中,甚至已经出现了全cg的角色,这些都是这种发展趋势的最直观表现,”克拉尔餐厅内,艾瑞克正与对面的斯坦.温斯顿和詹姆斯.卡梅隆侃侃而谈。 Although opposite they are the special effect master family backgrounds, in the specialized special effect technology, Eric is certainly impossible to show off meager skills before an expert. However, the status of Eric crossing over, making his development trend to the movie special effect compared with clear, therefore, after looking for the accurate topic that opposite they look, can strive for the talk very much easily the initiative. 虽然对面两人都是特效师出身,在专业的特效技术方面,艾瑞克当然不可能班门弄斧。不过,艾瑞克穿越者的身份,使得他对电影特效的发展趋势要比对面两人看的都清晰,因此,找准话题之后,也能很轻易地争取到谈话的主动权。 „Eric, I do not agree with your view, scene that although CG Special Effects can realize diverser, but it eventually was too expensive, compared, the model special effect wanted more inexpensive, you definitely know that the Jim manufacture «The Terminator», that movie has only spent 6 500,000 USD, if used CG Special Effects, these 6 500,000 USD were perhaps insufficient including the special effect production cost,” the Stan Winston rebuttal said. “艾瑞克,我并不同意你的说法,虽然cg特效能够实现的场景更加多样化,但它终究还是太昂贵了,相比起来,模型特效就要廉价许多,你肯定知道吉姆制作的《终结者》,那部电影只花了650万美元,如果使用cg特效的话,说不定这650万美元连特效制作费用都不够,”斯坦.温斯顿反驳道。 „This is natural, I said that CG Special Effects is the movie special effect main development trend, but the model special effect forever will display its proper use, said that......” Eric suddenly calmly changes James Cameron: „Jim, you have thought manufactures the «The Terminator» sequel? I remember that you have said in an interview, in first part «The Terminator» you have many regrets not to realize.” “这是当然,我只是说cg特效是电影特效最主要的发展趋势,但模型特效永远都会发挥它应有的用处,说起来……”艾瑞克突然若无其事地转向詹姆斯.卡梅隆:“吉姆,你有想过制作《终结者》的续集吗？我记得你在一篇采访中说过,第一部《终结者》里你有很多遗憾都没有实现。” Heard this issue, James Cameron and Stan Winston has looked at each other one as if by prior agreement, several people chatted for a half hour, the lunch soon finished eating, James Cameron has not known how should bring up this topic. Has not thought that Eric asked on own initiative. 听到这个问题,詹姆斯.卡梅隆和斯坦.温斯顿不约而同地对视了一眼,几人已经聊了半个多小时,午餐都已经快要吃完,原本詹姆斯.卡梅隆还不知道该怎么提起这个话题。没想到艾瑞克却主动问出来了。 „Eric, actually, I have written second part script. However is looking at present still for the investor,” James Cameron disguises to act with constraint said. Although was called the square tyrant, but, James Cameron in usually is not a violent temper, the movie draws the investment time, this small method of playing does not lack equally, otherwise, previous life impossible overspending also times to attain the investment. “艾瑞克,其实,我已经将第二部的剧本写出来了。不过目前还在找投资方,”詹姆斯.卡梅隆假装矜持地说道。虽然被人称为片场暴君,不过,詹姆斯.卡梅隆在平时可不是一副火爆脾气,电影拉投资的时候,该耍的小手段一样都不缺,要不然,前世也不可能一次次超支还一次次拿到投资。 Eric also understands certainly the James Cameron small thoughts. He is also clear to the James Cameron present situation, although Cameron has not evolved now the card god of later generation, but as crossing over, Eric definitely especially pays attention to this name, he maintains every day is reading the newspaper to look at the good custom of magazine, is familiar with Hollywood many trend, therefore on newspaper occasionally will present the James Cameron news, Eric will look that subconsciously two bear in mind. 艾瑞克当然也明白詹姆斯.卡梅隆的小心思,而且。他也对詹姆斯.卡梅隆现在的情况一清二楚,虽然卡梅隆现在还没有进化成后世的卡神,但作为一个穿越者,艾瑞克对这个名字肯定格外关注,他又保持着每天读报看杂志的好习惯,对好莱坞的很多动态都了如指掌,因此报纸上偶尔会出现詹姆斯.卡梅隆的消息,艾瑞克都会下意识多看两眼记在心里。 The «The Abyss» cost that James Cameron manufactured last year reaches as high as 70 million USD, is just two times of «Batman» investment last year Warner that global sold greatly, although has harvested a series of high praises and Oscar nominations finally. But on Box Office is pitiful, North America has only attained more than 50 million Box Office, but overseas Box Office has 30 million USD. Box Office is not good, corresponding peripheral definitely will not lose face, therefore this movie was Fox brings has reached as high as the loss of more than 30 million USD. 詹姆斯.卡梅隆去年制作的《深渊》成本高达7000万美元,刚好是去年华纳那部全球大卖的《蝙蝠侠》投资的两倍,虽然最终收获了一系列好评和奥斯卡提名。但票房上却非常凄惨,北美只拿到了5000多万的票房,而海外票房则只有3000万美元。票房不好,相应的周边也肯定不会太出彩,因此这部电影为福克斯带来了高达3000多万美元的亏损。 This is in the Eric memory, James Cameron only the movie that makes the investor lose money. 这是艾瑞克记忆中,詹姆斯.卡梅隆唯一一部让投资商亏损的电影。 But after by maliciously pit, Fox is certainly impossible to invest the Cameron new movie again, let alone looks like invests bigger «Terminator 2: Judgement Day», although this movie first part Box Office is good, but this also being insufficient makes Fox take risk to pick pockets once more, but many other Six Great Film Studios of cooperation has been more impossible to take out money with Cameron easily. 而被狠狠地坑了一把之后,福克斯当然不可能再投资卡梅隆的新电影,更何况还是看起来投资更大的《终结者2》,虽然这部电影第一部票房不错,但这也不足以让福克斯冒险再次掏腰包,而与卡梅隆没有过多少合作的另外六大电影公司就更不可能轻易掏钱了。 In memory. «Terminator 2: Judgement Day» is Caroca alone | set up Film Studio to lose everything to collect 100 million USD shoots to come out, finally global has attained 500 million multi- Box Office. Regarding this movie that is doomed to sell greatly, although invested high. But Eric definitely does not plan to let off . Moreover, his Cameron I have not planned to let off. 记忆里。《终结者2》是一家名叫卡罗卡的独丨立电影公司砸锅卖铁凑了一亿美元才拍摄出来的,最终全球拿到了5亿多票房。对于这部注定大卖的电影,虽然投资高了一些。但艾瑞克肯定是不打算放过的,而且,他连卡梅隆本人都没打算放过。 Under plate consider as finished, Eric continues to ask: „Can Jim, if possible, say the «Terminator 2: Judgement Day» plot simply?” 盘算了下,艾瑞克继续问道:“吉姆,如果可以的话,能简单说一下《终结者2》的剧情吗？” James Cameron sees Eric to be interested in this movie, immediately ignites a hope at heart: „Naturally, but also please keep secret, do not disclose.” 詹姆斯.卡梅隆见艾瑞克对这部电影感兴趣,顿时心里燃起一丝希望:“当然,不过还请保密,不要透露出去。” „This is the affirmation,” Eric nodded, fulfills duty to side very much makes Jennifer Connelly of vase saying: „Jenny......” “这是肯定的,”艾瑞克点了点头,又对旁边很尽职地做着花瓶的詹妮弗.康纳利道:“简妮……” The girls got an idea have smiled, revealed two small canine teeth: „Relax, I cannot.” 女郎意会地笑了下,露出两颗小虎牙:“放心吧,我也不会的。” „That, the story probably is such program first draft that......” James Cameron will create briefly, heard Jennifer Connelly of James Cameron about liquid metal robot idea to stare the big eye slightly, an inconceivable surprised appearance. “那么,故事大概是这样的……”詹姆斯.卡梅隆将自己创作的大纲初稿简单地说了一遍,听到詹姆斯.卡梅隆关于液态金属机器人构思的詹妮弗.康纳利微微瞪大眼睛,一副不可思议的惊讶模样。 In the Eric memory had the complete movie, in addition James Cameron was speaking story not to have what talent in the spoken language, therefore he has not shown any unusual look, but was listening to the narration of Cameron dedicated, occasionally also will discover in story program that some Cameron story programs and Large expanse of differences, for example Cameron narrated, Sarah that Linda Hamilton played. Connor had not shut in mental hospital. 艾瑞克记忆中已经存有完整的电影,再加上詹姆斯.卡梅隆在用言语讲故事方面没有什么天赋,因此他并没有露出任何异样的神色,只是专注地听着卡梅隆的叙述,偶尔还会发现卡梅隆故事大纲与成片的一些区别,比如卡梅隆讲述的故事大纲中,琳达.汉密尔顿饰演的莎拉.康纳并没有被关进精神病院。 Naturally, this is only some not worthy of mentioning small details, but in process that entire narrated, Cameron and Stan Winston silently have been paying attention to the Eric look, discovered that Eric expression many changes, Cameron had not felt at heart immediately some were not wonderful. A story is unable to make the investor be interested, then attains the possibility of investment to be definitely minimal. 当然,这只是一些微不足道的小细节,而整个讲述的过程中,卡梅隆和斯坦.温斯顿都一直在默默注意艾瑞克的神色,发现艾瑞克表情没有多少变化,卡梅隆心里顿时感觉有些不妙。一个故事无法让投资人感兴趣,那么拿到投资的可能性肯定微乎其微。 „Jim, according to your idea, the cost of this movie is not definitely low, have you made the preliminary estimate?” Waited for Cameron saying that Eric asked. “吉姆,按照你的构思,这部电影的成本肯定不低吧,你做过初步预算没有？”等卡梅隆说完,艾瑞克才问道。 „Has done, although the idea expenditure of liquid metal robot possibly wanted in a big way, but, I only needed seven...... No, 60 million, I only need six surely USD this movie to shoot, the liquid metal robot and may not use computer cg completely, some scenes can use the relatively inexpensive model, this I have discussed with Stan,” Cameron said finally, unknowingly on own initiative has sold to Eric, after acting with constraint that disguised also threw the brain, after all, in the personal connection that he knew, Eric possibly took to obtain this sum of money. Firefly last year around Christmas files several movie funds that screens started to re-steam, in addition recording tape and other peripheral, at least can be Firefly brings four hundred million USD funds “做过了,虽然液态金属机器人的构思花费可能要大了一些,不过,我只需要七……不,60000000,我只需要六千万美元就可以将这部电影拍出来,液态金属机器人并不一定要全部使用电脑cg,部分场景还是可以用相对廉价一些的模型的,这个我跟斯坦商议过,”卡梅隆说道最后,不知不觉地就主动向艾瑞克推销了起来,原本假装的矜持也丢到了脑后,毕竟,在他认识的人脉当中,艾瑞克是最可能拿得出这笔钱的。萤火虫去年圣诞档前后上映的几部电影资金已经开始回笼,再加上录像带等周边,至少可以为萤火虫带来四亿美元的资金 Stan Winston echoes to say hastily: „Yes, Eric, part of scenes, we can substitute with the mercury or the model, the investments of six USD were surely enough.” 斯坦.温斯顿连忙附和道:“是的,艾瑞克,一部分场景,我们可以用水银或者模型替代,六千万美元的投资已经足够了。” 60 million you can pat the talent damn! 60000000你能拍出来才见了鬼呢！ The Eric at heart unstated criticism, the complexion is becoming dignified: „60 million, were almost on ten times of one investment, Firefly has not operated the movie that this has invested greatly.” 艾瑞克心里腹诽着,脸色变得凝重起来:“60000000,差不多是上一部投资的十倍了,萤火虫还从来没有操作过这样大投资的电影。” „Eric, believes me, this movie will definitely not make your disappointed......” “艾瑞克,相信我,这部电影肯定不会让你失望的……” Cameron must continue anything, was actually broken by Eric, since James Cameron had not found the investor now, then hangs the appetite of card god is very necessary, too has been invested that Cameron to spend freely more unscrupulous easily, Eric just even emitting made Jeffrey hold the post of the plan of «Terminator 2: Judgement Day» Producer, but quick gives up, Jeffrey thrifty with spending freely of Cameron is just two extremes, collects not to hit in one them to be strange. 卡梅隆还要继续说些什么,却被艾瑞克打断,既然詹姆斯.卡梅隆现在还没有找到投资方,那么吊一下卡神的胃口还是很有必要的,太容易得到投资那卡梅隆挥霍起来就更加肆无忌惮了,艾瑞克刚刚甚至冒出让杰弗里担任《终结者2》制作人的打算,不过很快就放弃,杰弗里节俭与卡梅隆的挥霍刚好是两个极端,把他们凑在一块不打起来才怪呢。 „Sorry, Jim, I need to give careful consideration, the 60 million USD investment is not the small number. Said that today's proper business, Stan, I think that you affirmed has guessed correctly, I plan to establish a movie special effect company, wants to invite you and your team alliance, in the future this Film Studio will be responsible for the special effect work of Firefly majority of movie.” “抱歉,吉姆,我需要慎重考虑一下,6000万美元投资可不是小数目。还是说说今天的正事吧,斯坦,我想你肯定已经猜到了一些,我打算成立一家电影特效公司,想要邀请你和你的团队加盟,将来这家电影公司将负责萤火虫大部分电影的特效工作。” Stan Winston not, because Cameron was refused to be angry, Eric to the prudent response of «Terminator 2: Judgement Day» is almost the matter of being doomed, if complies to be unusual immediately: „Eric, why is I, I meant, some Hollywood also outstanding special effect teams?” 斯坦.温斯顿并没有因为卡梅隆被拒绝而生气,艾瑞克的对《终结者2》的慎重反应几乎是注定的事情,要是立刻答应了才反常呢:“艾瑞克,为什么是我呢,我是说,好莱坞还有很多优秀的特效团队？” Eric remembered Stan Winston previous life to say a few words, was smiling replying: „What because they do is only special effect, but you are actually using the special effect to perform.” 艾瑞克想起斯坦.温斯顿前世曾经说过的一句话,微笑着答道:“因为他们做的只是特效,而你却在用特效表演。” Stan Winston somewhat changes countenance, these words just touch a Stan Winston moral nature most sensitive nerve, not long , the Stan Winston ideal is to make movie Actor, but the ideal and reality always differ too in a big way, after college, Stan Winston after Disney has been three years of putting on make-up apprentices, then has set up own Winston work room, afterward he discovered that he as if completely has not pulled off his ideal, Actor is performing with oneself, but he is actually using the special effect to perform. Therefore, in recent years, Stan Winston was maintaining to the movie special effect the initial fervor, even was used frequently also ‚crazily’ to describe. 斯坦.温斯顿有些动容,这句话刚好触动斯坦.温斯顿心底最敏感的一处神经,曾几何时,斯坦.温斯顿的理想是做一名电影演员,但理想和现实总是相差太大,大学毕业后,斯坦.温斯顿在迪斯尼做了三年的化妆学徒之后,便开办了自己的温斯顿工作室,后来他才发现,他似乎并没有完全抛离自己的理想,演员是在用自己表演,而他却是在用特效表演。因此,这些年来,斯坦.温斯顿一直对电影特效保持着当初的激情,甚至经常还被人用‘疯狂’来形容。 This type constant frantic to movie special effect, is the Stan Winston successful most primary factor, truly speaking, if no Stan Winston, how regardless of James Cameron in the past impossible to publish the classics with trivial 6 500,000 USD shoots «The Terminator». 这种始终如一的对电影特效的狂热,正是斯坦.温斯顿成功的最主要因素,说实在的,如果没有斯坦.温斯顿,詹姆斯.卡梅隆当年无论如何也不可能用区区650万美元拍摄出经典的《终结者》。 Must know, because lacks fund seriously, the The Terminator robot in first part is only a simple metal mold, without any mechanical kinetic energy installment, therefore, in the movie the special effect scene of robot motion, are almost place with being similar in framing animation technique shoots come out, movie one. 24 seconds pictures, one minute are 1440, is several minutes of picture, its work load can be imagined numerous and diverse, if in the heart does not have enough faith and warm, no one is possible to insist. ( to be continued ) 要知道,因为严重缺乏资金,第一部中的终结者机器人只是一个简单的金属模型,没有任何机械动能装置,因此,电影中机器人运动的特效镜头,几乎是一帧一帧地用类似于定格动画的手法拍摄出来的,电影一秒钟24帧画面,一分钟则是1440帧,长达数分钟的画面,其工作量是多么的繁杂可想而知,如果心中没有足够的信念和热情,谁都不可能坚持下来。(未完待续)
