【德古拉：永咒傳奇】莎拉蓋登古典氣質迷人 真愛力挺德古拉

西元1931年，環球影業率先把德古拉改編成電影，監製麥克迪盧卡心想，傳奇人物德古拉 也該回家了：「環球影業似乎是最好的選擇，這家電影公司拍過不少怪物電影，【德古拉：永咒傳奇】也向所有大家喜愛的怪物電影致敬。」【德古拉：永咒傳奇】 是導演蓋瑞蕭首部大螢幕作品，主要演員除了英國性格男星路克伊凡斯飾德古拉之外，還有莎拉蓋登飾王妃蜜蕊娜（【蜘蛛人：驚奇再起】）、多明尼克庫柏飾蘇丹 王穆罕默德二世（【美國隊長】）、查爾斯丹斯飾厄夜吸血鬼（HBO影集【冰與火之歌：權力遊戲】）和亞特帕金森飾因格拉（HBO影集【冰與火之歌：權力遊 戲】）…等等，台灣於10月9日雙十節假期盛大上映。

導演蓋瑞蕭在為弗拉德的妻子蜜蕊娜選角時，設想一個和弗拉德相反的形象：純潔而光明。導 演蓋瑞蕭表示：「蜜蕊娜永遠是無辜的，當你看著弗拉德向黑暗屈服，你要有一個對照組，那就是蜜蕊娜。她從頭到尾都是純潔無瑕，沒有絲毫沈淪。」也許蜜蕊娜 沒有道德瑕疵，但要不是她向弗拉德施壓，不讓他交出兒子因格拉，她的丈夫也不會變成吸血鬼，所以她多少要負一點責任。加拿大女星莎拉蓋登飾演弗拉德王子的 王妃，她很贊同導演的看法：「蜜蕊娜是整部電影的道德指引。她的信念永不動搖。每當信念受到考驗，她就會勇敢站出來，為自己的理念而戰。」莎拉蓋登曾經在 【危險療程】和【蜘蛛人：驚奇再起】大秀演技。她認為蜜蕊娜永遠無法理解弗拉德的轉變，除非她也親身體驗極惡之境。她說：「即使這部電影以歷史題材為主， 但兩位主角的愛情，一點也不過時。弗拉德作為一位戰士、王子、鬥士和領導人，為了族人和家人出生入死，這種情懷在現代家庭也說得通。何不想想看那些去打仗 的軍人和軍眷？所以這個故事還滿真實的」。這位加拿大女演員能夠脫穎而出，都要歸功於她的氣質。蓋瑞蕭談到本片的女主角：「莎拉有一種古典好萊塢的氣質， 她所展現的光明和純潔，正好可以抗衡弗拉德的黑暗與憂鬱。她辦到了！」

弗拉德三世轉變成德古拉是全片的一大重點，而身為他最親近的角色，女主角蓋登則嘗試以現實世界的角度來看待這股超自然力量的影響，「在我們真實世界中，如 果你的另一半染上不良嗜好或是遇到不好的事情，愛情的力量以及你願意付出多少來挽救兩人的感情，這兩個因素將是對方能否復原的主因，我認為這是很重要的課 題，這也是為什麼我會如此喜愛這個劇本的理由。過去我一直期待可以拍一部愛情片，我超想拍愛情故事的。這部電影雖然講的是德古拉，但它的核心議題卻是一則 非常美麗、浪漫且經典的愛情故事。我認為在片中男女主角所經歷的一切，是讓片尾的結局如此高潮迭起的主因，但根本的議題還是你選擇如何去維持一段感情。」

【德古拉：永咒傳奇】導演蓋瑞蕭感謝製片對他的信任，並說明他的想法：「這就像一個成長故事，只不過換成歷史意義的探索。吸血鬼神話牽涉到歷史意義，牽涉 到世代傳承，不管是DNA、記憶或責任，什麼都好。我覺得大家對父子情誼會有共鳴，這會是最令人動容的部分。」以真實歷史為背景，也是很重要的元素。蓋瑞 蕭繼續說：「為了讓觀眾相信這部電影，你必須關注弗拉德的內心世界，以及他和妻兒的情感聯繫」。弗拉德面臨痛苦的抉擇，逼得他接受自我的使命。他不願讓兒 子歩上自己的後塵，只好做出最大的犧牲。

環球影業發行 10月9日 磅礡登場

轉賣「意難忘」 柴：只賺手續費

製作人柴智屏因涉及大陸央視行賄案，也掀出兩岸買賣戲劇的黑幕，外傳柴智屏為買賣民視長壽劇「意難忘」而捲入央視「低買高賣」價差行賄風暴，昨她表示當年 購入版權後賣出「意難忘」，一集僅賺美金五十元（約台幣一千五百卅元），相當於行政手續費，之後版權價格翻漲，她完全不知情。

追溯二○○七年柴智屏買賣「意難忘」，當年大陸中間商透過她表示央視有意播出民視戲劇，柴居中牽線，「意難忘」以一小時計共達八百集，外傳當時柴智屏先以 一集美金三千元（約台幣九萬元）購入部分試水溫，再以一集美金六千元（約台幣十八萬元）賣給中間商，但央視卻以一集約六十萬元購入，因而傳出收賄疑雲。

不過柴智屏昨卻澄清，「我先拿電視台版權，再賣給對方，賺一點行政手續費，一集才賺美金五十元。」柴智屏表示前後共向民視購買三次，但她期間不只賣「意難忘」，還賣「草山春暉」、「世間路」等戲。

相較於台灣製作公司直接賣片給電視台的單純對價關係，大陸買賣片採製作、發行分離，製作方將售播映權給發行商，經由發行商賣給電視台，而版權賣出後仍需等大陸廣電總局審查核發「准播證」，但大陸央視屬國家電視台可自審自播，不受此限。

其實大陸買賣片交易流向錯綜複雜，從製作方賣片到電視台播出，就要經過好幾手，一名業界人士表示，大陸購買境外劇金額量每年約兩百五十億人民幣，去年則爆出三百億人民幣，其中差額五十億流向不明，才引發查辦貪汙案。

業界人士認為，買賣片有別於其他行業市場，電影、電視劇無一定行情，買低賣高是本事，很難評斷，柴智屏應是行事過於高調有關，加上之前她因旗下藝人柯震東呼麻事件，這次被限制出境，被指有殺雞儆猴意味。

大陸片商、發行商來自四面八方、水準良莠不齊，業者表示，甚至有拿假授權書賣片的公司，中間商賣到電視台，才發現無法播出。

柴智屏：我是證人 不是刑事罪犯

柴智屏因被捲入大陸央視弊案，與大陸合夥人呂小佳同被大陸官方發文限制出境，昨她為此召開記者會澄清：「我是證人，不是刑事罪犯。」

柴智屏並強調，是以周邊廠商的身分被要求配合調查，不確定是否和戲劇版權買賣相關，更抱怨台灣法務部「話說不清」，無法「將心比心」照護人民。

柴智屏從北京工作夥伴處獲知「吉林檢察院明確通知台灣法務部，柴小姐以證人身分配合調查，調查期間為期三個月」，柴智屏表態願配合調查，只是她對三個月境管相當困擾，必須等到結案，才能解除限制出境的禁令。

昨早柴智屏詢問台灣法務部，只得到「不予說明」，且之前法務部未講明她是證人一事，讓她形象受損，至此氣憤難平，她直言：「既然簽了兩岸互助協議，就該正視這個事情。」

外傳柴智屏將戲賣到大陸央視，因為買低賣高而結怨等，甚至傳出有金錢往來，因此導致她被大陸境管，她說：「完全沒有。」推測是大陸央視肅貪，牽涉層面廣，僅坦言目前的確有位她與呂小佳都認識的人士正接受調查。

她解釋，因友人想買台灣戲劇都會問她的意見，一個個輾轉仲介買賣，最後賣到央視，一連串的牽扯，才會引發一大票人都得說明、對質，她說：「我沒有行賄，一位央視的人都不認識，沒有要擔心的地方。」

她曾透過大陸合作夥伴向對岸檢調單位表達願配合隨傳隨到的意願，但書是可隨時離境，大陸官方未能確認，強調得經手台灣法務部，柴智屏雙手一攤說：「我問心無愧，也可以直接等它結案。」

海基會對此案主動表達關心，詢問柴智屏是否需要幫忙及提供律師，她則表示目前被列為「證人」，而非被告，暫無需海基會幫助。

Tracy Morgan ‘failed to wear seatbelt’ in fatal road crash

30 Rock comic Tracy Morgan was not wearing a seatbelt in a car accident that left him badly injured, according to papers filed in a US court.

Walmart – owners of the truck that crashed into the star’s limousine bus – contend his injuries and the death of a passenger were partly their own fault.

Truck driver Kevin Roper has denied death by driving, while authorities found he was speeding.

Morgan’s lawyers are seeking compensation from retailer Walmart.

Responding to Walmart’s latest claims, they called the contentions “surprising and appalling”.

Lawyer Benedict Morelli said: “It’s not what they said they were going to do initially, which was take full responsibility. I’m very upset, not for myself but for the families I represent.”

Authorities previously said that Mr Roper had not slept for 24 hours prior to the six-vehicle collision, which happened on a New Jersey highway on 7 June.

The legal action filed by Morgan and the other passengers in his car and their families asserts that Walmart should have been aware that their driver had been on an “unreasonable” commute.

Their claim also states that Mr Roper fell asleep at the wheel.

A representative for the retail giant has said they will continue to work with Morgan and other plaintiffs “to resolve this matter”.

They have previously asserted that they believe Mr Roper was in compliance with federal safety regulations.

Morgan broke his nose, ribs and legs in the crash, while his friend and fellow comedian James McNair was killed. The party were travelling back from one of Morgan’s shows in Delaware.

He required several weeks’ rehabilitation treatment before making a recovery.

He starred alongside Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin in the comedy series 30 Rock and was also a regular on Saturday Night Live.

Chinese cinema set for record year

Chinese cinema box office revenue has surged 32% in the first nine months of the year, figures show.

Takings have reached 21.6bn yuan (£2.16bn) so far, already nearly equalling 2013’s full-year total of 21.8bn (£2.18bn) yuan.

The best performing movie of 2014 to date is Transformers: Age of Extinction, which took 1.98bn yuan (£198m).

The top 10 was split evenly between domestic and Hollywood blockbusters.

Fantasy 3D epic The Monkey King, directed by Hong Kong’s Poi Soi Cheang, was the highest grossing domestic movie with 1.04bn yuan (£104m)

Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past was the third biggest movie of the year taking 724m yuan (£72.6m), with comic book film Captain America: The Winter Soldier fourth with 721m yuan (£72.3m) in box office receipts.

Sequels Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 also featured in the top 10.

China is the second biggest film market in the world and last year became the first international market to gross more than $3bn (£1.85m) at the box office.

It is thought the country’s box office receipts could exceed 30.7bn yuan in 2014 with some big releases still to come.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will be released on 10 October with Jiang Wen 3D sequel Gone with the Bullets due in December.

China’s boom comes at a time when the US box office has slumped over the summer season to its lowest point in eight years.

Revenue was down 15% from last year’s record $4.75bn (£2.9bn) to $4.05bn (£2.5m), with attendance falling more than 5%.

A number of films did not perform as well as expected in the US, including The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ($203m; £124m), Clint Eastwood’s Jersey Boys (£47m; £29m) and The Expendables 3 ($39m; £24m).

Universal Music to place brands in music videos

Universal Music Group will place ads in music videos after they have been filmed in an attempt to get higher advertising revenue.

The record giant’s music videos will now show different brands targeting various audiences around the world.

Universal struck a deal with UK tech firm Mirriad, which has created a way to insert ads into video footage.

The firms are joining with advertising group Havas, which creates ads for brands such as LVMH and Coca-Cola.

Mirriad chief executive Mark Popkiewicz said integrating ads into music videos was a solution to “ad skipping”, where viewers can choose to avoid online ads that usually appear before or after music videos.

“This is a very timely and much needed boost to the advertising economy associated with video,” Mr Popkiewicz said.

Revenue from advertising has become more important to record labels and artists, since music sales have slumped as consumers turn to online video streaming on popular websites such as YouTube.

Product placement from the deal has already resulted in a video from Swedish dance music producer Avicii, now featuring ads by liqueur brand Grand Marnier that were not there during filming.

“Audiences like to see brands within content more than they like to be interrupted with advertising around a content they choose to watch,” Mr Popkiewicz added.

莫文蔚暂别3个月游10国 拒生小孩怕麻烦

莫文蔚前晚在台开唱，庆功宴上宣告将暂别歌坛3个月，计划跟德籍老公Johannes到10个国家游玩，问是否趁机造人？她笑说：“生小孩不是我的人生目标。”

44岁莫文蔚结婚后，因老公Johannes工作繁忙，两夫妇经常聚少离多，这次彼此强迫对方放假，本来想挑战80天环游世界，但又怕行程太赶，因此只选10个国家展开深度之旅。 她说：“老公喜欢登山、户外运动，我准备好陪他上山下海，难得出国，也不会控制饮食。”

此次旅行算是他们结婚后的最长相处时间，问是否会趁机造人？莫文蔚强调未来没有这个计划，认为夫妻相处时间有限，有了孩子会更麻烦。

谈到前晚在个唱上穿着性感，事前有否先向老公报备？他笑说Johannes不介意，以后还会越来越性感：“老公会选sexy内衣给我，但我不穿给他看，反而在台上穿给大家看”。
