7 George Lucas Strikes Back

Chapter 7 George Lucas Strikes Back The very next day, George and Marcia went to Hawaii for their first vacation since 1969. They were joined by friends, including Steven Spielberg. George and Steven built a sand castle and talked about George's new idea for a film about an archeologist who did "all kinds of neat stuff." George named him Indiana Smith, after his dog Indiana. The two men vowed to make

第七章乔治·卢卡斯反击就在第二天，乔治和玛西娅去了夏威夷，这是1969年以来他们第一次度假。 包括史蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格在内的朋友也加入了他们的行列。 乔治和史蒂文建造了一座沙堡，并谈论了乔治关于一部关于考古学家的电影的新想法，他做了“各种各样的整洁的事情”。 乔治以他的狗印第安纳的名字给他取名印第安纳·史密斯。 这两个人发誓要

the movie together. Although Star Wars had consumed George's life for over a year, the rest of the world had just discovered it. And they couldn't get enough. Star Wars won five Academy Awards, including one for its editor, Marcia. It also won awards for art direction, costume design, musical score, and special effects. George's father was stunned. Suddenly the deal George made with the studio

一起看电影。尽管《星球大战》已经吞噬了乔治一年多的生命，但世界上其他人才刚刚发现它。 他们怎么也买不够。 《星球大战》获得了五项奥斯卡金像奖，其中包括编辑玛西亚。 它还获得了艺术指导奖、服装设计奖、音乐奖和特效奖。 乔治的父亲惊呆了。 突然之间，乔治和制片厂达成了协议

to retain the sequel rights and most of the merchandising rights seemed like genius.

保留续作权和大部分周边商品权似乎是一种天才。

George could have let the studio pay for the sequel they now wanted so badly. But studio money meant studio control. He decided to fund The Empire Strikes Back himself. Even with all his money, this was a huge risk. "It has to be the biggest-grossing sequel of all time for me to break even," he said, but he did it anyway. When executives at Twentieth Century Fox demanded to know who would write, star, and direct Empire, George answered, "None of your business." If the movie succeeded, George hoped to build the kind of creative retreat for filmmakers that he and Coppola had dreamed about for American Zoetrope.

乔治本可以让电影公司为他们现在迫切需要的续集买单的。 但制片厂的钱意味着制片厂的控制权。 他决定亲自资助帝国反击战。 即使他有那么多钱，这也是一个巨大的风险。 “它必须是有史以来最卖座的续集，我才能收支平衡，”他说，但他还是这么做了。 当二十世纪福克斯公司的高管们要求知道谁将担任《帝国》的编剧、主演和导演时，乔治回答说：“不关你的事。” 如果这部电影成功了，乔治希望为电影制作人建造一个他和科波拉为美国西洋镜公司所梦想的那种创意隐居地。

George decided not to direct Empire himself. That job went to Irwin Kershner. George wrote a rough draft of the screenplay, then passed it on to Lawrence Kasdan to polish it. Instead of the hot deserts of Tunisia, the crew shot in snowy Finse, Norway. There were new gadgets and creatures to struggle with. Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, joked that all his scenes

乔治决定不亲自执导《帝国娱乐》。 那份工作给了欧文·克什纳。 乔治写了一份剧本草稿，然后交给劳伦斯·卡斯丹进行润色。 摄制组没有在突尼斯炎热的沙漠取景，而是在挪威白雪皑皑的芬兰取景。 有新的工具和生物要对付。 饰演卢克·天行者的马克·哈米尔开玩笑说，他所有的戏

were with robots and puppets. Even though he wasn't directing the movie, George was working long hours. He and Marcia hoped to start a family soon, but right now, he didn't have much time to spend at home. Sometimes it seemed as if Marcia was always waiting for George.

和机器人和木偶在一起。 乔治虽然没有导演这部电影，但工作时间很长。 他和玛西娅希望尽快组建一个家庭，但现在，他没有太多的时间呆在家里。 有时，玛西娅似乎一直在等乔治。
