Scarlett: 'What's my motivation here?' Woody: 'Your salary'Would Scarlett walk? Would Penélope crack? And would they all end up in bed together? Find out what happened on the set of Vicky Cristina Barcelona in Woody Allen's diary~~~
2 January, 2008 Received offer to write and direct film in Barcelona. Must be cautious. Spain is sunny, and I freckle. Money not great either, but agent did manage to get me a 10th of 1% of anything the picture does over $400m after break-even. Have no idea for Barcelona - unless the story of the two Hackensack Jews who start a mail-order embalming firm could be switched. 2008年1月2日 接到个编导一部在巴塞罗那拍摄的影片的机会。可要小心,西班牙晒得很,我会长雀斑的 。钱也不怎么挣,不过经纪人已经替我搞定了:要是影片不赔本,而且能赚个4亿多美元的话,我可以从1%里再抽个十分之一。没想好给巴塞罗那写个怎样的故事,最初的主意是有两个能互换身份的【新泽西】哈肯萨克犹太人,他们开了一家邮购的遗体整容公司。
5 March Met with Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz. She's ravishing and more sexual than I had imagined. During interview my pants caught fire. Bardem is one of those brooding geniuses who clearly will need a firm hand from me. 3月5日 见到了哈维耶·巴登和佩内洛普·克鲁兹。她美得令人销魂,比我想象的还要性感,整个会见过程我裤子里像着了火 。巴登是那种会陷入沉思的天才人物,他欣然接受我助他一臂之力。
2 April Offered role to Scarlett Johansson. Said before she could accept, script must be approved by her agent, then by her mother, with whom she's close. Following that, it must be approved by her agent's mother. In middle of negotiation she changed agents - then changed mothers. She's gifted but can be a handful. 4月2日 给斯嘉丽·约翰森提供了个角色。她说她接受之前,剧本得先经得她经纪人同意,然后让她妈妈同意,她与她妈妈很亲密。之后还得经过她经纪人的妈妈同意。在商谈的当口,她换了几个经纪人——于是也就换了好几个妈妈。她很有才华,但可能也很难把握。
1 June Arrived Barcelona. Accommodation's first class. Hotel has been promised half star next year, provided they install running water. 6月1日 抵达巴塞罗那。住的地方一流。明年这家旅店就可以获得半颗星啦,如果他们能装上自来水的话。
5 June Shooting got off to a shaky start. Rebecca Hall, though young and in her first major role, is a bit more temperamental than I thought and had me barred from the set. I explained the director must be present to direct the film. Try as I may, I could not convince her and had to disguise as man delivering lunch to sneak back on the set.
6月5日 拍摄一开始不太顺利。虽说丽贝卡·霍尔很年轻,而且这是她第一次担任主角,但她的脾气有点儿大,比我预料的还厉害,她把我从片场赶了出来。我解释说导演必须在现场指导拍戏。我费尽口舌,就是说服不了她,所以我不得不化装成送午饭的伙计溜回进片场。
