It’s an incredible commercial gamble, spending as much on a mere drama, aimed at overwhelmingly adult audiences, as on a comic book adaptation or action movie — and the type of financial gambit that few Hollywood studios would be in a position to make in the 21st century — especially coming on the heels of Scorsese’s lowest-grossing movie in 20 years. In this case, it was Netflix, the upstart streaming company making a play for increased relevance as a content creator of its own, who stepped up to produce The Irishman, after every other studio passed on it. | Translation - Chinese
这无疑是一次惊险的商业赌博，现如今的大资本电影基本都是漫改电影或动作片，但《爱尔兰人》却剑走偏锋，将大资本投给了一部纯粹的剧情片，还将受众瞄准了票房的主力军——成年观众。在21世纪的好莱坞电影公司中，几乎没人敢这样做——尤其是，斯科塞斯的上一部电影《沉默》是其近20年来执导的电影中票房最低的一部。鉴于此，投资人纷纷拒绝为《爱尔兰人》买单，而依靠自制剧和内容创作成为电影产业后起之秀的Netflix却在这时挺身而出，宣布投资该片。 |
