The fate of the CBS procedural (Fridays at 10/9c) is in flux in the wake of its episode count being slashed to 16 and David Krumholtz copping a role on a fall pilot. But until the future becomes clearer, this season will serve up two final episodes – one directed by Morrow himself and concerning gritty subject matter, and a finale featuring a joyous wedding and a big change. Here’s what Morrow shared with us about the show he has called home for six years, and why it was so emotional to say (a possibly final) farewell. Rob Morrow的Numb3rs即將壽終正寢了嗎?驚爆集數減為16集和David Krumholtz贏得 秋季新劇ㄧ角後,這部CBS影集的命運正擺盪不定。不過,未來底定前,本季將上演 最後兩集,由Morrow本人執導,堅韌不拔為題的一集;有著歡樂婚禮及重大轉變的季 末終曲。在此Morrow同我們分享這個六年來他稱之為家的節目,又為何說離別是如此 傷感。 This Friday marks your third time directing‘Numb3rs.’Does it get easier? I wouldn’t say it ever gets easier, but one dynamic of being on the show all these years is my level of anxiety is less than it would be if I was [directing] somewhere where I wasn’t so entrenched. 本週五是你第三次執導Numb3rs,有更容易些嗎? 我不會言之越易。不過這些年來,但是身為這節目多年來的重心成員之一,讓我的焦慮 程度比起我在其他不是那麼投入的地方執導時都還低。 Did this script present any unique challenges for you as director? The big challenge was the tone and the material, which deals with pederasty and male-on-male rape. Spending time in that thought process was not fun, but once you enter that world, then it’s just about trying to have a veracity about it. You want to be respectful of people who have been through this stuff. Luckily, Rob Port, the writer, gave the script the humanity and pathos it needed. 劇本有沒有給身為導演的你什麼特別挑戰? 最大的挑戰在於調性和題材,牽涉戀童癖和男對男的強姦,花時間構思很乏味,不過 ㄧ旦進入這世界,然後試著讓它更真實,你會想要尊重曾經歷過這些的人們,編劇Rob Port賦予劇本人性和應有的情感。 Did you have a say in casting? Because Alan Ruck would seem to make an unexpected yet sufficiently off-putting sex offender. Alan, I think, was my idea, and it was not a slam-dunk in terms of choice because while I knew he could handle it acting-wise, he generally has a sweetness about him. But I happened to be hanging out with Stanley Tucci over the holidays, talking about ‘The Lovely Bones,’ which deals with similar things, and he said the first thing he said to Peter Jackson was, “I want to look different, really different. That will liberate me.” So the first thing I said to Alan was, “I want to shave your head.” I totally expected him to say, “Hey man, I’m working for just two days…,” but he was like, “Let’s do it!” That look plays against his kindness, and he gives a lovely performance ultimately. 你對卡司有發言權嗎?因為Alan Ruck意外出演ㄧ名嫌惡的性罪犯。 我想那是我的主意,並不是確定的選擇,因為雖然我明白他可以精確掌握演出,他卻 總是那麼柔和,但我碰巧與Stanley Tucci出外度假幾天,談到涉及同樣題材的‘The Lovely Bones”(註一),然後他說曾對Peter Jackson(註二)說的第一件事就是「我想 要看起來有所不同,真正的不同,那可以解放自我。」,所以我告訴Alan的首件事就 是「我要剃掉你的頭髮。」我預期他會說「欸~我只工作兩天….」但他就像是「讓我 們來做吧!」演出與他慈善相反的模樣,最終他給了美妙的演出。 Jumping to the March 12 season finale, I see we’re not saving Charlie and Amita’s wedding for the final act. Right. It doesn’t open the episode, but it’s in the first act. 換個話題,3月12日就是本季終集,我明白最終戲碼少不了Charlie和Amita的婚禮, 對吧?不在這集開頭,但會是第一幕。 Is it a pretty straightforward affair? It’s sweet, it’s small-scale, just immediate friends and family, at the university…. They’re really sweet together, David and Navi [Rawat], so there’s some real warmth to it. And of course you have Peter MacNicol (Larry) as the preacher. 這婚禮很簡單? 它很甜蜜、小型。在大學裡,只有一些親近的的親朋好友,他們倆相處親暱, David和 Navi [Rawat],真得很窩心,當然還有作為牧師的Peter MacNicol(Larry)。 Where do things stand with Don and Robin at this point? Don needs to make a decision so he doesn’t lose her and keep stagnating in his life… He has to redeem himself, being that it might be the last episode [of the series]. So he does something that is, I think, a good thing. 在這點上,Don和Robin間會何去何從? Don須做出抉擇,他才不會失去她,讓她持續在他生命停留….他必須自我救贖,可能 是[本影集]最後一集,所以他所做的決定,我想,是好的。 What’s the significance of Don’s gun going missing in the episode? These guys have to carry their guns everywhere, and the idea of his being lost is very traumatic, as it would be for any law enforcement person. The fear that it could do some damage somewhere is a tough weight to bear. Don在這一集遺失配槍有何意義? 這些人到哪都必須攜帶配槍,對任何執法人員而言,遺失配槍是非常受創的,可能在 某處造成傷害的恐懼是極為沉重的心理負擔。 Does the season finale sufficiently wrap up the series, if need be? There’s a change afoot, for sure, but it’s open-ended. We could easily come back, if they decide to keep us on, or it could serve as a farewell. It was a last-minute decision by CBS to cut us from 22 episodes to 16, so they had to find out how to do it in a way that had an ambiguity to it, so they didn’t shoot themselves in the foot. I think they achieved that. [The series] ends on a nice note, if that’s the way they go. 若有必要的話,季末是否有好好為此劇集收尾? 當然尚有變數,但結尾會是開放性的,如果他們決定繼續,我們可以輕易回歸,也可 以作為告別。22集消減為16集是CBS做的最終決定,所以劇組必須找出模稜兩可的方 式做結,沒搬石頭砸自己腳,我想他們做到了。假使這是他們採取的方法,[這影集] 結束在很好的點上。 How was the last day of shooting? The last day on the set was one of the greatest days ever. There were a lot of emotional speeches given throughout the day, by all the actors, [executive producers] Tony Scott and David Zucker came down…. Everyone had their moment, so there was a real sense of appreciation for what we’d been through. At lunch they showed a gag reel, and my daughter (Tu, age 8), who has grown up on the set, was there on my lap. As we watched, I started to cry. I didn’t expect to be that emotional, but it just hit me. And she was just inconsolable, in the sweetest way. It never occurred to me that this was sad for her, too. That informed the rest of the day for me. 拍攝的最後一日如何? 在拍片現場的最後一天是個前所未有的大日子,整天有很多感興演說,來自於所有演 員,監製Tony Scott(註三)和David Zucker(註四)都下來了(註五)…,每個人都有屬 於自己的時刻,衷心感激我捫經歷的一切,午餐時分,劇組播放花絮剪輯,我那在拍 現場長大的女兒[Tu,現年八歲]就坐在我大腿上一起觀賞,當下我開始哭了,我沒想 過會如此情緒化,但它確實衝擊了我,而我女兒只是以一種甜淡的方式傷心,她和我 一樣從未如此悲傷,那就是當天我所記得的部分。 What’s your takeaway from the ‘Numb3rs’ experience? Six years is a long time, so I almost feel like I grew up. I’ve learned a lot of lessons about myself, others, creativity… not taking myself too seriously, being grateful, enjoying the moment… It’s an endless list of things. Having played an archetype like this was a gratifying thing. There are limitations to the genre, but in terms of playing the hero who saves the day with a gun, that attracted the little boy in me. Now I feel ready for something radically different. 你從Numb3rs經驗中得到了甚麼? 六年是一個漫長的時間,幾乎覺得我長大了,我學到許多,關於自我、他人、創作… 、不要太過苛求自己、心存感激、享受當下…列舉不盡。演過這樣的典範人物是件可 喜之事,會有所侷限,但因飾演持槍扭轉大局的英雄,吸引了小男孩的注意。如今, 我已準備好嘗試完全不同的事物。 Will you be fine with the occasional film role, or might you jump right back into series television? I just finished ‘The Good Doctor,’ a really cool movie that Orlando Bloom is producing and starring in. It’s just a very different way of working – I spent six hours on a one-page scene, and to be able to take that time to pursue excellence is a real luxury. I’ve given up trying to predict what will be. There are a lot of options for me, and TV is a good job for a family guy like me. That said, I’d love to find a series on cable that allowed me to do less episodes a year. Or maybe I’ll do a play, or a movie… or nothing! 你將投入偶爾接演的電影角色,還是可能回來出演電視劇集? 我已完成由Orlando Bloom(註六)製作與演出的”The Good Doctor”,是部很酷的電 影,不同我以往的演出,一頁場景花了我六個鐘頭,能夠花費這些時間來追求卓越表 現真是奢侈,我已放棄預測將會如何,我有很多機會,小螢幕對像我這樣有家庭的人 來說是份好工作,也就是說,我很樂意尋覓能容許我一年拍攝少量集數的有線電視劇 ,也許可能做一齣戲、一部電影,或者甚麼! 註一:2009年上映的電影,台灣電影譯名”蘇西的世界”與原著小說相同。 註二:彼得傑克森,我最喜愛的導演之ㄧ,”魔戒"及”蘇西的世界”皆出自他手。 註三:東尼史考特,代表作為”捍衛戰士”、”全民公敵”…等,曾執導過Numb3rs S4E1-Trust Metric,與其兄Ridley Scott雷利史考特同為好萊塢名導,其兄Ridley Scott代表作則有神鬼戰士、火柴人、末路狂花… 等,兩兄弟皆為Numb3rs監製。 註四:我不知他是何方神聖,僅查到他年紀頗大,有很多身分:演員、製作人、導演 、編劇,不知他與Numb3rs的關聯為何?還是IMDB沒有寫出來? 註五:這裡指的應是製作人、導演等幕後高層所在的編導或製作間,攝影場景應同在 CBS大樓,故說從樓上下來。 註六:奧蘭多布魯,曾演出魔戒中的勒苟拉斯。 ◎原文出自:http://0rz.tw/B6Rma -------------------------------------------------------------- 後記: 這篇是今年三月的專訪,現在看來無限感嘆,尤其是Rob談到的最後拍攝日 不過Numb3rs還是繼續存於我們心中,對吧? 當時的Rob還沒規劃好下一個作品,如今已經確定他參演的新戲"The Whole Truth"獲 ABC預定一季,秋季將於美國時間周三晚間十點播出,所以Rob的影迷是幸運的,很快 又可以看到不同面貌的RM~~~<<<好羨慕。 反觀D.K.動作雖是全劇組最快,參演的"Tax Man"又是朗霍華監製,執筆的原創人也 來頭不小,卻.....>>>>據說Fox沒預定此劇...Orz其實有影迷不是很想見到D.K.走回 演喜劇的老路,還大叫流產的好.....,故要再見到捲毛狗狗有得等了.....哀..... 日前在Numb3rs.org上有許多影迷談到這次Numb3rs被砍,開始怨恨之前總裁說謊話騙 影迷,因為之前總裁曾針對突然大減六集即為不續約的傳言進行消毒,表示Numb3rs仍 在考慮回歸之列,減掉六集純粹是為新戲挪出播出時間(Miami Medical,諷刺的是也一 併被砍),但最終結果證明各方的揣測是對的。 對於影迷的埋怨,執行製作Cheryl Heuton現身Numb3rs.org替CBS總裁說話,她表示 當時謠言滿天飛,但幾乎不是事實,沒人比他們更清楚,Numb3rs第七季之前的確有 被考慮,總裁沒撒謊,決定哪部戲能回歸是很難的決定,除了收視率,還要看製作費 、季中影集成功與否、秋季新劇以及發展潛力,當初說周五有兩部戲能回歸是真的, 最後卻只回歸一部(Medium)也是CBS花時間討論作出的決定,CBS已盡可能收集相關資 訊以做出適當決定,甚至Numb3rs被砍也是發佈秋季時間表前幾天才作的決定,作為 一部製播六季的老劇確實很難再開發新的觀眾族群。 但她也安慰影迷雖然縮減六集,可是並沒有讓影迷失去甚麼,只是濃縮一些劇情, 本來希望編些有趣的犯罪案件,將婚禮辦得更盛大,除此之外,縮減六集並無影響任 何主線劇情和角色發展。 至於影迷好奇劇組原本第七季的規劃為何,Cheryl說通常都要等長假放完,六月初返 回辦公室,編劇群才會開始認真構思新一季劇情走向,所以讓大家失望了,答案是只 想到如何完滿結束第六季,對下一季根本尚未有任何規劃。 相信Cheryl的回應不僅解除眾影迷的疑惑,更打開了許多心結吧! 另外有個來自劇組的紀念---- 劇組放上一段影片,剪輯了Numb3rs播出的118集中,劇組最喜愛的特效片段,如同以 往影集開頭,影片一開始你可以看到兩條交錯的十字白線,分隔出四個數字串及單位 ,從前用來暗示該集案件的關鍵數字,如今意義卻大不同.... 影片網址- http://0rz.tw/sjW1Z 聽說Ghost Whisper有可能被製作的ABC收回去播,就像當年跑回CBS的Medium一樣, 於是有影迷意想天開,想說請前陣子買下Numb3rs重播的TN電視台繼續製播,那第 七季就有望,只是有線台哪有可能做這種吃力不討好的事,還不如請派拉蒙考慮製作 Numb3rs電影版呢! 影迷總是愛做夢的一群吧~~~ 給我Eppes兄弟,其餘免談~~! 最後講件有趣的事,訪談中有提到Rob女兒的小名,大家可以連著她老爹的姓氏唸唸看XD 也難怪當年票選好萊塢最冏星寶貝名,他女兒的芳名一舉挺進前十 -"- 奉勸各位未來的爸媽們,別一時貪玩亂取名,千萬三思而後行哪! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.231.199.24
