The firstmoviewins the Venice Film Festivalbestnew personprize, the secondmoviewins the Berlin International Film FestivalAppraisal committeeaward, althoughthisinsidehas the function of luck, butcannotwrite off the splendors of thesetwomovies, listens to a circlepeopletohisname: Wizarddirector! The movies of thesetwosmallcosthighbox officesadvanced the crests of twodirectorandproducerAdrian, Fern have almost been ableto affirm, after «Shawshank'sRedemption»screened, operatedwell, hepromoted a director and producer is almost not a problem.
说实话,有哪个导演哪个制作人能像做到阿德里安这个地步?第一部电影获得威尼斯电影节最佳新人奖,第二部电影获得柏林电影节评委会大奖,虽然这里面有运气的作用,但并不能抹杀这两部电影的出色,听听圈中人对他的称呼:鬼才导演!这两部小成本高票房的电影将阿德里安推到了二线导演、制作人的顶峰,拉弗恩几乎可以肯定,等《肖申克的救赎》上映后好好操作一番,他晋升一线导演和制作人几乎不成问题。In addition, onhisscreenwriterabilityisto also be obvious to all, the scripts of thesethreemoviesstem fromhishand, moreover earliest sold to the fourscripts of eachcompanyafterproducing the moviemade money. Especiallysold to«Bodyguard» of Warner, isinthatfourscriptsearnsmany, althoughWarnerCorporationtoevade the «Terminator 2»pointtemporarily, butadjusts in mid July the running schedule, mayso far the North Americanbox officeoverhundred millionnot be the delusion.
除此之外,他的编剧上能力也是有目共睹的,这三部电影的剧本都出自他的手,而且最早卖给各个公司的四个剧本在制作成电影后都赚到了钱。尤其是卖给华纳的《保镖》,是那四个剧本中赚得最多的,华纳公司虽然为了暂避《终结者2》的锋芒而将档期调整到了7月中旬,可到目前为止北美票房过亿已经不是妄想。As forotherall sortssay nothing. Butwhatis most important, heachievedtheseto spend more than oneyear of timemerely! Calculatesto lookthat«Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels»has only spentto the manufacturefrom the photography for about twomonths, but«Memento»has used for threemonths, if«Shawshank'sRedemption»is nothecannot withdraw the bodyinLondon, are probably mostalso for about fourmonths. Even ifFerndoes not support the development of thishurricaneadvance, butalsohas toacknowledge the Adrianvisionandabilitynobody can. Sincethis, thatwalks.
至于其他种种就更不用说了。而最重要的是,他做到这些仅仅花了一年多的时间!算算看,《两杆大烟枪》从拍摄到制作只花了两个月左右的时间,而《记忆碎片》则用了三个月,《肖申克的救赎》如果不是他在伦敦脱不开身,大概最多也就四个月左右。所以即使拉弗恩不赞成这种狂飙突进似的发展,但也不得不承认阿德里安的眼光和能力无人能及。既然这样,那就跟着走下去吧。„, Whichunit does yournewmovieplanto choose?”Fernasked.
“那么,你的新电影打算选择哪部?”拉弗恩问道。„WhichItalianmovienaturallyrescreens, onlyneededto makesomerevisionsin the originalplotto be OK,”Adrianwas smiling the reply, „in fact, Ihad found timeto writesomescriptsduring the stay in London, Juliesi of remaininggivingeditingdepartmentswere responsible forarranging, strivesto completeinoneweek, sheisat presentamongthesescreenwritersbestone.”
“当然是翻拍哪部意大利电影,只需要在原剧情上进行部分修改就可以了,”阿德里安微笑着回答,“事实上,我在伦敦的时候已经抽空写了部分剧本,剩下的交给编审部的朱莉丝负责编,争取在一周内完成,她是目前那些编剧当中最好的一个。”„Good, what but alsothere is?”Fernwrote downthese.
“好的,还有什么?”拉弗恩将这些记了下来。„Buildsas soon as possible the rack, Ihope that do not exceed in mid September, except for the actor, otherrolesas well as the photographylocationsis under the charge ofvariousdepartments.”Adrianspoke ofhere, after having hesitated for severalminutes, opened the mouth: „Perhapson the invitationactor, you must helpmetry to find the solution, Laver.”
“尽快把架子搭起来,我希望不要超过9月中旬,除了男主角,其他角色以及拍摄场地都由各部门负责。”阿德里安说到这里顿了顿,沉吟了几分钟后才又开了口:“恐怕在邀请男主角上面,你还得帮我想想办法,拉弗。”„?”LaverEngjanhas raised the eyebrow.
“哦?”拉弗恩扬了扬眉毛。„Iplannedthat”Adrianvisitshimto reveal the meaningfullook, „invitedAl Pacinoto play the blind personlieutenant colonel.”
“我打算,”阿德里安看着他露出意味深长的眼神,“邀请阿尔帕西诺出演盲人中校。”«Scent of a Woman», thisis the newmovie of Adrianpreparation.
《闻香识女人》,这就是阿德里安准备的新电影。Issue: Inoneselfwantto attainfirst, andknowsin the situation of answer, howto guarantee that certainlycanattain?
问题:在自己想要拿到第一名并且知道答案的情况下,如何保证一定能拿到?Replied: The entireessentialoperationstepwill be left intactmoves.
回答:将整个关键的运算步骤原封不动的搬过来。Al Pacinotoactblind personlieutenant colonelFrankto attain the best actoron the 65 th Oscar, thereforeAdrianonlyneeds«Scent of a Woman»thismoviecompleteduplication, andinvitedAlto play the actor, remaininglooked atFern'spropaganda and public relationsmethod. Is opportunisticvery muchcongeniallyvery much, butAdriandoes not care, so long ascanachieveowngoal, so long as the methodin the regularrange, hecanuseitallextremely.
阿尔帕西诺是在第65届奥斯卡上以扮演盲人中校弗兰克拿到最佳男主角的,所以阿德里安只需要将《闻香识女人》这部电影完全的复制出来,并邀请阿尔出演男主角,剩下的就看拉弗恩的宣传和公关手段。很投机很取巧,但阿德里安并不在乎,只要能达到自己的目标,只要手段在规则范围之内,他可以无不用其极。AlthoughFerndoes not knowthese, actuallyapproves of the Adrianprocedure. Verysimple, became famoushad brushed pastwith the Oscarbest actorinthe 70'sAlseveral times, onlylooked at the performing skill the words, «Godfather2»or«Dog Day Afternoon»or«...And Justice for All»enoughmadehimattain a youngmetal statue, Al'sluckwas what a pity poor.
拉弗恩虽然不知道这些,却非常赞同阿德里安的做法。很简单,成名于70年代的阿尔已经和奥斯卡最佳男主角数次擦肩而过,只看演技的话,无论是《教父2》还是《热天午后》又或者《伸张正义》都足够让他拿到一座小金人,可惜阿尔的运气不怎么好。Howeverto the present, this not goodluckinsteadhas become the capital, almost allpeopleknow that cinema institutehas owedAl a youngmetal statue. Fronthas said that ifcannotcast off the competitorinqualityby far, thendecides the victory and defeat the factoronother, but one of the qualificationsalsofactors. So long asAdriancan the ensure quality, Fernhave confidenceAlreallycompletelypushes up the throne of best actor.
不过到了现在,这不好的运气反而成了资本,几乎所有人都知道电影学院欠了阿尔一座小金人。前面说过,如果在质量上不能把竞争者远远甩开,那么决定胜负的因素就在其他上面,而这种资历也正是因素之一。所以只要阿德里安真的能保证质量的话,拉弗恩完全有把握将阿尔推上最佳男主角的宝座。Such being the case, thatopensdoes, although each head in companytoAdriannonstopmuststartto produce the newmovieto feelamazed, buttoomanyopinions, hismore than one year expressionhave not been obvious to all.
既然如此,那就开干吧,公司的各个负责人虽然对阿德里安马不停蹄的又要开始制作新电影感到了惊诧,但并没有太多的意见,他这一年多的表示是有目共睹的。Actually, if possible, Adrianwantsto manufacture the preparationinfirstthreemovies, thatmakesEmmaThompsonattain«HowardManor» of best actress.
其实,如果可以的话,阿德里安更想先制作准备的三部电影中,那部让艾玛汤普森拿到最佳女主角的《霍华德庄园》。«HowardManor»isBritainfamousalready the passingwriterE. M. Forster'snovel, typicalBritishliterature, whatnarratedwastwofamily membersall sorts ofhelpless, awkward, the story of accidentoccurredregarding the Howardmanor, spokethisnovelfromsomesignificanceis more like the lengthyfable.
《霍华德庄园》是英国著名已逝作家爱德华摩根福斯特的小说,典型的英国文学,讲述的是两家人围绕着霍华德庄园发生的种种无奈的、尴尬的、意外的故事,从某种意义讲这部小说更像是则长篇寓言。Reason thatmoststarts to choosethismoviefirstto photograph , because Adrianhas confidenceto convinceEmmaThompsonto play. As one of the Britishmost well-knownactresses, Thompsonsimultaneously the talented woman, hasownopinionto the film script writer and manufacture, in additionthismovieis the reorganizationfrom the well-knownBritishnovel, so long asmakesherbelieve that hecanmakethismovie, thencompliesnot to have the issueabsolutely. Moreover, anotherleadAnthony Hopkins of moviewhenBerlin International Film Festival, complies to cooperateorally.
之所以最开始想选这部电影首先拍摄,是因为阿德里安有把握说服艾玛汤普森出演。作为英国最为知名的女演员之一,汤普森同时还是位才女,对电影编剧和制作也有着属于自己的见解,加上这部电影又是改编自著名的英国小说,只要让她相信他能拍好这部电影,那么答应下来绝对没问题。而且,电影的另一个主角安东尼霍普金斯在柏林电影节的时候,也在口头上答应过可以合作的。Althoughwhat a pity the ideagoodto have the awkwardissue that makespeople unable to avoid, that is, «HowardManor»is the unitout-and-outlosing moneygoods. Thisis the unittypicalBritainVictorian erastylemovie, was only thiscanlet the interest that manyaudienceslostwatch, in additionstoryitselfnot onlydid not have the suspensenot to be thrilling, narratedwas the matteramong people, thenandwill losesomeaudiences. Saidsimplythatthisis the literary film of unitveryyoungaudiences, canattainmanybox offices can be imagined.
可惜想法虽好却有个让人无法回避的尴尬问题,那就是,《霍华德庄园》是部不折不扣的赔钱货。这是部典型的英国维多利亚时代风格的电影,光是这点就可以让不少观众失去观看的兴趣了,再加上故事本身既没不悬疑也不惊险,讲述的就是人与人之间的事情,那么又会失去部分观众。简单的说,这就是部非常小众的文艺片,能拿到多少票房可想而知。Naturally, sinceAdriandecided that mustbegin shootingthismovie, definitelywill not carewhetherloses money, butthatshould notbenow. «Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels»and«Memento», althoughhas gainedmuchfor the film company, maysimultaneouslydisbursealsomuch, the companydilatancydid not saythat is only the movie of investmenthasseveral, at this timelost money is really not the wiseaction. Therefore, hehasto go to«Scent of a Woman» the vision, butthismoviealsohasneedsto solvetroublesome.
当然,阿德里安既然决定要投拍这部电影,肯定不会在乎是否赔钱,只是那绝不应该是现在。《两杆大烟枪》和《记忆碎片》虽然为电影公司赚了不少,可同时支出也不少,公司扩容就不说,光是投资的电影就有好几部,这个时候赔钱实在不是明智之举。因此,他只好把目光投向了《闻香识女人》,只是这部电影也有麻烦需要解决。Oncebeforehad said that Adrianwill take«HowardManor»as the first choice , because had confidenceto convinceEmmaThompson. But if tradesto beAl Pacino, that is not very easy.
之前曾说过,阿德里安会把《霍华德庄园》作为首选,是因为有把握说服艾玛汤普森。可要是换做阿尔帕西诺,那就很不容易了。PacinonotlikeFreemanorRobins, hebecomes famoushas experiencedtoomanymattersfor a long time, inHollywoodis the big star of being second to none, wantsto convince the opposite partyto receive the roleis not an easymatter.
帕西诺不像弗里曼又或者罗宾斯,他成名已久又经历过太多的事情,在好莱坞是首屈一指的大牌明星,想要说服对方接下角色并不是件容易的事情。Said over and over again, because the Adrianqualificationswere too shallow, ifhecanpreserve the presenttendency, threeandfiveyears of thesebig starswill definitely not have rejectedandhimcooperate, but is very difficultto say.
说来说去,还是因为阿德里安资历太浅了,如果他能保住现在的势头,过个三、五年这些大牌明星肯定不会拒绝和他合作,但是现在却很难说了。Factsshowed that hisworryis correct, Pacino'smanageris a hard to deal withfellow, not only the methodis smooth, the speechworksis also watertight, lettingAdrianwantsto chatwithPacinoaloneis not good.
事实证明他的担心是正确的,帕西诺的经纪人是个难缠的家伙,不仅手段圆滑,说话做事也是滴水不漏,让阿德里安想和帕西诺单独谈谈都不行。HoweverFernalsohas the means that several times after the negotiations, invited the opposite partyto participate in the «Shawshank'sRedemption»lastpreview, finallypassedmanagerpass/test, was Al.
不过拉弗恩也不是没有办法,数次谈判之后又邀请对方参加了《肖申克的救赎》最后一场试映,终于过了经纪人这一关,然后就是阿尔本人了。„Said that Al, Icreatethisroleaccording toyourimagefrom the beginning, particularlyfinallythatspeech. Iwatchedyourmanymovies, your DuanDaduanmanifesto-typemonologue, thatdramaticperformance, thatsymbolicmovementisotherscannot developgreatly, Ihope that youcanreceivethisrole.”Whenapproximatelycomes outto chat, Adriansosaidthatsimultaneouslydoesslightlyis revealing the exaggerating the hand signal is very as if excited.
“这么说吧,阿尔,我一开始就是根据你的形象创作这个角色的,尤其是最后那一段的演讲。我看了你许多电影,你那种大段大段的宣言式的独白,那种戏剧性的表演,那种标志性的动作是别人演不出来的,我非常希望你能接下这个角色。”在约出来谈谈的时候,阿德里安如此说道,同时做着略显夸张的手势似乎很激动。„Imustsay, Ide, younowlooks like, the body languageenricha lotcompared withme.”PacinoHa Hahas smiled, in secretheis the person who is easygetting along with, „saidfranklythatIalso like Frankthisroleas well asthatDuanspeak. Afterreadingyourscript, Ilooked forthatItalianmovieto lookspecially, although the mainplotnottoomuchchanged, butIthink that thislieutenant colonelbe more appealing than thatcaptain, thereforeIdo not think that I can also say the rejection.”
“我得说,艾德,你现在看起来,肢体语言要比我丰富得多。”帕西诺哈哈笑了起来,私下里他是个很好相处的人,“坦率的说,我也很喜欢弗兰克这个角色以及那段演讲。在看过你的剧本后,我特意找来那部意大利电影看了看,虽然主要情节并无太多变化,但我认为这个中校要比那个上尉更吸引人,所以我不认为我还能说拒绝。”„Was very happy that youcancomply, Al, I ensure youwill not regret.”Adrianputs out a handimmediately.
“很高兴你能答应,阿尔,我保证你不会后悔的。”阿德里安随即伸出手来。„Believes that yourthiswizarddirectorwill not disappointme.”PacinoHa Hahas graspedgraspingwithhimwith a smile.
“相信你这位鬼才导演不会让我失望。”帕西诺哈哈笑着和他握了握。AfterPacinocontactedinsteadwas directly easier, was countedthistime, discussedtwice. The scriptclearlyhasto attractPacino'splace, otherwise did healso„once”receivethisrole? Naturally, thisandAdriangives what is desiredis also related, leaves, Pacino'smanagermeaningfulsaidonetoFern: „Youhave a goodboss.”
直接和帕西诺接触后反而容易了许多,算上这次,也才谈了两次。剧本显然有吸引帕西诺的地方,否则他又怎么“曾”接下这个角色?当然,这和阿德里安投其所好也不无关系,以至于离开的时候,帕西诺的经纪人意味深长的对拉弗恩说了一句:“你们有个不错的老板。”No matter what, Pacinowascomplied, thenand other treatmentissuesdiscussed, cansign the contract. ThismustnegotiatewithPacino'smanagerEdard, butAdrianthrewtoFerndirectly.
不管怎样,帕西诺算是答应了下来,接下来等待遇问题商谈完毕后就可以签下合约。这又要和帕西诺的经纪人埃达德进行谈判,不过阿德里安直接扔给了拉弗恩。Althoughhas handled the essential target, butwantsto startto photographalsorequires the time, because«Shawshank'sRedemption»needsto propagandize, therefore the preparatory work of newmoviewantsonslowsomerelatively . Moreover the outdoor scenequitetroublesomeschool and Waldorf that hotelthismovieneedswait / etc.chooses the corner/hornalsoto need the manpoweragainin addition, therefore the basicrackwasbuildstomid September, maywantfurtheralsoto require the time.
虽然搞定了主要目标,但是想要开始拍摄还需要时间,因为《肖申克的救赎》需要宣传,所以新电影的筹备工作相对要慢上一些,而且这部电影需要的外景比较麻烦学校、华尔道夫酒店等等再加上选角也需要人手,所以到9月中旬基本架子是搭起来了,可想要进一步还需要时间。Thishas not related, as the representative who the methodsends, Pacinoalsoneedsto go to the blind personinstituteobserving and emulatingstudy to in any caseacknowledgethatheis a professionalactor, signed the second day of contracton the relationblind personinstitute. Therefore the timewill retardsomeslightlyin the futureis not the matterat the worst, thistimenothasmanymagnificent scenedispatcheslike«Shawshank'sRedemption», so long as the actorconditionis goodenough, Adrianhas confidencein6weekscompletes the photography.
这也没关系,反正作为方法派的代表人物,帕西诺还需要去盲人院观摩学习得承认,他是个敬业的演员,签下合约的第二天就联系盲人院了。因此时间稍微往后延迟一些也不是什么大不了的事情,这次不像《肖申克的救赎》那样有很多大场面调度,只要演员状态足够好,阿德里安有把握在6周完成拍摄。Interestingly, heandothers'manageris having to dofor the role, there is a manager of otherpersonandhehas to dofor the role.
有意思的是,他在为角色和别人的经纪人在打交道,也有别的人的经纪人为角色和他打交道。
