葛瑞迪影业周年报道 Grady Films Anniversary Special
作为匹诺康尼风头最盛的娱乐公司,由葛瑞迪创建的电影公司,已占据了本地电影市场45%的份额。时过境迁,再度采访葛瑞迪先生,他是否又能给我们一份意外的答卷?
Now dominating 45% of Penacony's local film market, Grady's entertainment company stands as the city's most successful. As times change, we sit down with Mr. Grady once more, will he deliver another unexpected perspective?
记者:早在监狱时代,您就已经成立了葛瑞迪公司。您是怎样说服公司的监察,让他允许一位囚犯在监狱里创建公司的?
Reporter: You established the Grady company while still in prison. How did you convince the company inspector to allow an inmate to form a business behind bars?
葛瑞迪:对大部分公司狗而言,这个问题都很简单——利益。在大家都清醒的时候,公司的镍币影院的确能够掏空那些一穷二白的囚犯的钱包。那么,在梦里呢?很可惜,在他们发现端倪前,我的律师朋友们已经成功在梦泡电影的技术专利上留下我的名字。
Grady: For most IPC Dogs, it comes down to one thing — profit. When prisoners were awake, IPC's Nickodeum Cinemas successfully drained what little money inmates had. But dreams? Well, before they realized what was happening, my lawyer friends had already put my name on the dream bubble movie technology patent.
他们需要赚更多的钱,让囚犯们最后的积蓄也流进自己的口袋。所以,他们替我成立了公司,给了我董事长的职位。当然,真正的管理者是那位「亲爱」的监察大人,麦考伊•德纳尔。
They wanted to squeeze every last coin from prisoners' savings into their own pockets. So they set up a company under my name and made me chairman. Of course, the actual person in charge was our "dear" inspector, McCoy Tyner.
记者:还记得,那时候的您可没少被骂作公司的走狗。不过,现在的葛瑞迪影业,应该算是一家全新的公司了吧?
Reporter: You faced plenty of criticism as an IPC puppet back then. But today's Grady Films is practically a brand-new company, wouldn't you say?
葛瑞迪:是的,这也要归功于麦考伊先生的过度自信。他真的像施舍那样,给了身为荣誉董事长的我一笔股份分红。瞧,原本会100%回流到公司手里的,囚犯们的积蓄,现在有了一股小小的支流到了我这儿。虽说只能算聊胜于无,但还是成功为匹诺康尼的「独立战争」带来了部分启动资金。
Grady: Yes, all thanks to Mr. McCoy's excessive confidence. He actually gave me, the so-called honorary chairman, a dividend share, treating it like spare change. So prisoners' savings, which should have flowed 100% back to the IPC, now had a tiny stream diverted to me. Though barely significant, that money successfully helped fund the initial stages of Penacony's "War of Independence."
麦考伊在镇压叛乱时一命呜呼,原本的葛瑞迪公司也成为历史。但他留下的镍币影院和资产,却成为了后来我们重建电影产业的基础。从这个角度想,我还得好好谢谢他——尤其是死得好。
McCoy died while trying to crush the rebellion, and the original Grady company became history. But the Nickodeum Cinemas and assets he left behind formed the foundation for rebuilding our film industry later. In that sense, I should be grateful to him, especially for dying when he did.
记者:葛瑞迪影业不仅引进了大量的优秀影片,也培养了众多本土的后起之秀,面对越来越激烈的竞争,您有什么想对后辈们说的吗?
Reporter: Beyond importing excellent films, Grady Films has fostered many local talents. As competition intensifies, what wisdom would you share with the next generation?
葛瑞迪:希望大家能带着热情,而非功利心去拍摄电影。也希望未来的匹诺康尼能拥有属于自己的,闻名寰宇的优秀作品。
Grady: Make films with passion, not opportunism. I hope future Penacony creates its own universally famous masterpieces that belong truly to us.
另外,也诚邀筑梦技术相关方面的人才加入葛瑞迪影业,对还不成熟的梦泡电影技术做出进一步的改良,为大家提供更好的作品。
I also extend a warm invitation to dreamweaving technology specialists to join Grady Films. Help us improve our still-evolving dream bubble movie technology and create better experiences for audiences everywhere.
