In1949hereceivedaspecialAcademyAwardfor 37yearsofbrilliantshowmanship Hediedofheartfailurein1959 谁造就了好莱坞 1 当你听到 好莱坞 这个名字 你可能会想到兴奋 灯光 摄像机和电影明星 名演员并不是娱乐行业中唯一重要的人 导演和制片人同样重要 今天 好莱坞不乏制片人和导演 然而 很少有人比得上好莱坞的第一批电影人塞西尔 布朗特 戴米尔 塞缪尔 高德温和路易斯 迈耶的名望和成功 人们会铭记他们的出色作品和在电影产业的持续影响 他们为今天以及今后的电影制片人和导演指明了道路 我们在此关注塞西尔 B 戴米尔 改编自美国之音慢速英语 撰稿人劳安 戴维斯 2 塞西尔 B 戴米尔1881年出生于马萨诸塞州的阿什菲尔德 父母都是剧作家 他的父亲在他12岁时去世了 母亲开办了一家戏剧公司来维持家庭 塞西尔成了该公司的演员 后来一直在公司身兼演员和经理 直到1913年 同年 他和杰西 L 拉斯基 塞缪尔 格德菲什合伙成立了杰西 L 拉斯基故事片公司 格德菲什后来改名为塞缪尔 高德温 3 这三个人立即开始制作电影 他们喜欢从事电影制作工作 对其创造潜能和经济前景有着浓厚的兴趣 戴米尔 拉斯基和格德菲什开始将广受欢迎的美国西部剧 异种婚姻 改编成电影 戴米尔强烈要求在真正的美国西部制作电影 他选择了亚利桑那州的弗拉格斯塔夫 戴米尔一行乘火车前往弗拉格斯塔夫 当他们到达时 戴米尔认为该地区看起来太现代了 他们回到火车上继续前进 直到铁路的尽头 他们身处一个安静的南加州小镇 叫做好莱坞 戴米尔决定这就是拍摄电影的绝佳地方 4 异种婚姻 是在好莱坞制作的第一批足本的电影之一 该片在1913年上映 一炮走红 戴米尔被认为是帮助好莱坞成为电影产业中心的人 他也很快成为新的电影产业中的一位富有创造力的人物 酿酒师的百万横财 北方的呼唤 和 寂寞的松林径 继续着戴米尔的成功 5 在好莱坞 名字出现在其电影片名之上的电影制作人凤毛麟角 戴米尔是其中之一 对于电影观众来说 他的名字比电影中的明星的名字更重要 戴米尔的电影以大制作而闻名 他用大量的动作 现实的叙事和数以百计的演员来制作出一些好莱坞的顶级电影 他制作了很多类型的电影 包括西部片 喜剧片 爱情片 传奇片和道德伦理片 戴米尔制作的被称为史诗的电影更令他声名远扬 史诗讲述的是与重要的历史事件有关的故事 戴米尔的史诗电影是建立在美国西部 罗马历史或圣经故事的背景之上的 6 他的历史影片 十诫 的第一版在1923年的无声电影中是一个巨大的成功 戴米尔最后的电影之一是 大马戏团 在1952年获得奥斯卡奖最佳影片奖 该片讲述的是马戏团的演员 有些人说这是一个恰当的主题 因为戴米尔常被称为好莱坞最伟大的马戏团演员 1956年 他发布了一部有声的新版 十诫 该片在基督教复活节纪念活动期间仍在美国的电视上播放 7 戴米尔制作和导演了70部电影 1949年 他获得了一个特殊的奥斯卡奖 表彰其 37年的出色演艺技巧 他在1959年因心力衰竭而去世 Directors producers aswellasfamousactors 1
