北京时间凌晨3点08分(编者注:原文为BST夏令时晚间8点08分) 几十年来,巴黎一直是电影制片人的“猫薄荷”(意指极具吸引力的题材)。
8:08pm BST Paris has been cinematic catnip for film producers for decades.
在《雷霆杀机》中,詹姆斯·邦德在亚历山大三世桥上从车上跃上小艇,上演了系列最壮观的追逐戏之一;近年来,《艾米丽在巴黎》更是Netflix最大的热门剧集之一。
James Bond leapt on to a boat from Pont Alexandre III during one of his most spectacular car chases in A View to Kill, and Emily in Paris has been one of the biggest Netflix hits of recent years.
“我觉得发生骚乱后,他们(制片方)会自动寻找别的地方,”加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校英国杰出名誉教授、电影产业专家科林·加德纳表示。
“I think with the riots they will automatically look for somewhere else,” said Colin Gardner, an expert on the film industry and a British distinguished professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
“他们肯定不会冒任何险。”法国发生的混乱在好莱坞极具影响力的行业刊物《综艺》上得到了大量报道。
“They are not going to risk anything, that’s for sure.”The mayhem in France has received extensive coverage in Variety, an influential trade publication in Hollywood.
《综艺》将事件描述为“后启示录般的景象”,但也指出,法国对某些大制作而言依然是一片“游乐场”。
Describing events as a “post-apocalyptic spectacle”, it was noted that France was still a “playground” for some major productions.
然而,蒙面暴徒、燃烧的汽车以及努力维持秩序的防暴警察,让法国首都与《艾米丽在巴黎》中那座一尘不染的理想城市判若两天——剧中莉莉·柯林斯饰演的女主角在鹅卵石街道上款款而行。
But with masked rioters, burning cars and riot police struggling to maintain order, the French capital is a far cry from the spotless idyll of Emily in Paris, in which Lily Collins’s character sashays along cobbled streets.
莉莉·柯林斯在《艾米丽在巴黎》中饰演女主角 《综艺》报道称,眼下的混乱局势让片方的安保团队感到不安。
Lily Collins plays the title role in Emily in Paris Variety reports that the unfolding chaos has unsettled studios’ security teams.
一系列影视剧正在法国拍摄,包括《白莲花度假村》第四季,以及以环法自行车赛为背景的心理惊悚片《Pumping Black》(暂译)。
A raft of films and TV series are in production in France, from the fourth season of White Lotus to Pumping Black, a psychological thriller set against the backdrop of the Tour de France.
虽然蔚蓝海岸基本未受波及,但巴黎和马赛情况不同,后者因1971年惊悚片《法国贩毒网》而为影迷熟知。
While the Riviera has largely escaped unscathed, the same cannot be said for Paris or Marseille, the city best known to filmgoers for the 1971 thriller The French Connection.
根据法国国家电影委员会的官方数据,2024年在巴黎拍摄为巴黎经济带来1.08亿欧元(约9000万英镑)的产值。当年,该市共拍摄了94部故事长片。该行业支撑着34万多个就业岗位。
In 2024, filming in the French capital was worth €108m (£90m) to the Parisian economy. In that year, 94 feature films were made in the city. The industry supports more than 340,000 jobs, according to official figures from France’s National Film Board.
税收减免 法国政府投入巨资,试图吸引外国电影制片人来该国拍摄。
Tax breaks The French government has spent substantial sums of money trying to lure foreign film-makers into the country.
只要在法国境内拍摄至少五天,海外电影制片人即可获得高达其制作成本40%的税收返还。
Overseas film-makers receive tax rebates worth up to 40 per cent of their production costs as long as they spend at least five days filming in the country.
如果好莱坞制片人决定将制作转移到欧洲其他同样风景如画的城市,他们有大量选择。布达佩斯在过去两部《梅格雷》电视剧中曾“替身”巴黎。
Hollywood producers are spoilt for choice if they decide to shift production to other equally picturesque cities in Europe. Budapest has “doubled” for Paris in the past two Maigret TV series.
2022年电影《哈里斯夫人去巴黎》也在布达佩斯取景,该片由莱斯利·曼维尔主演,讲述一位伦敦清洁工前往世界时尚之都购买一件克里斯汀·迪奥礼服的故事。
It was also used in Mrs Harris Goes to Paris, the 2022 film starring Lesley Manville, in which a London cleaning lady goes to the world fashion centre to buy a Christian Dior gown.
2023年电影《疾速追杀4》中出现了埃菲尔铁塔,主演基努·里维斯(左),导演查德·斯塔尔斯基(右) 电影制片人在别处重现巴黎几乎没有困难,加德纳教授表示。
The Eiffel Tower features in the 2023 film John Wick: Chapter 4, starring Keanu Reeves, left, and directed by Chad Stahelski, right Film producers have few problems recreating Paris elsewhere, Prof Gardner said.
“他们大概会想要拍摄一两个外景镜头,展示比如埃菲尔铁塔或塞纳河,然后其他所有内容都可以在摄影棚里拍摄。
“What they would probably want to do is have a location shot to show, say the Eiffel Tower or the Seine, and then everything else can be shot in the studio.
“为了给电影增加一些真实感,必须至少在巴黎实地拍摄一些关键镜头,但除此之外,几乎所有虚构剧情片都可以在任何地方拍摄。” 尽管骚乱并未波及全国,且许多正在进行的制作距离骚乱热点地区尚远,但观感极其糟糕。
“In order to give a film some authenticity, it has to have at least some key shots in Paris itself, but otherwise almost all fictional dramas can be shot anywhere.”Even though the riots have not engulfed the whole of the country and many of the current productions are some distance from the hotspots, the optics are terrible.
曾将巴黎作为《穿普拉达的女王》(2006年)等电影背景的制片厂,现在可能会三思而后行,不再回归。
Studios which have used the city as a backdrop for films such as The Devil Wears Prada (2006) may now think twice about returning.
居民被要求将垃圾桶、自行车和室外家具收回室内,以免周末被骚乱者和抗议者当作投掷物。警方增援力量正被派往该市,警员将驻守在主要公共建筑外。
Residents have been ordered to take in their bins, bikes and outside furniture, rather than risk them being used as missiles by rioters and protesters over the weekend. Police reinforcements are being sent to the city and officers will be stationed outside major public buildings.
长期居住巴黎、监测娱乐产业的Rentrak分析师南希·塔塔廖内希望这座城市能从最新一轮骚乱中恢复过来。
Nancy Tartaglione, an analyst with Rentrak, which monitors the entertainment industry, and a long-term Paris resident, hopes that the city recovers from the latest riots.
“法国电影团队在技术上非常出色。而且法国是电影的发源地,”她说。
“French film crews are technically very good. And France is the birthplace of cinema,” she said.
