Never go to a meeting without a strategy. "Ride the horse in the direction it's going." These are just two of the gems unearthed from the trenches of Hollywood by Lynda Obst, one of the most successful producers in the movie business today. In Hello, He Lied, Obst offers real, practical advice to would-be professionals in any field: "Thou shalt not cry at work," "thou shalt not appear tough," "thou shalt return all thy phone calls," and more. She takes us inside high-pressure meetings with David Geffen, onto the set of Sleepless in Seattle, and into the heated negotiations for The Hot Zone and reveals what she's learned in more than twenty years in the business: how to swim with the sharks--and not get eaten.

我必须说,这本书的语言风格充满了老派的好莱坞特有的那种犀利和机智,带着一种恰到好处的讽刺意味,但绝不显得尖酸刻薄。作者的遣词造句极其讲究,很多句子读起来像是可以直接被引用到电影剧本里。他对于行业术语的运用自然而精准,既让圈内人会心一笑,又不会让普通读者感到隔阂,这是一种非常高明的平衡术。举个例子,书中描述某位制片人的手腕时,用了一个非常形象的比喻,我到现在都印象深刻,那个比喻完美捕捉到了那种表面和气实则掌控一切的权力感。这本书的精妙之处还在于,它对“真实”的探讨。在那个一切皆可包装、一切皆可表演的环境里,什么是真正的自我?作者通过一系列真实或半真实的故事,抛出了这个深刻的哲学问题。每次读到那些关于“形象塑造”的章节,我都忍不住停下来思考我们自己生活中的“人设”问题,感觉这本书带来的反思是跨越时代的。
评分这本书的叙事结构相当大胆和迷人,它没有采用传统的线性时间推进,而是像一个经验老到的导演在剪辑素材,不断地在不同的年代和人物之间进行跳切。这种手法初看可能会让人有些不适应,但一旦你适应了这种节奏,就会发现它极大地增强了故事的戏剧张力。作者似乎故意将一些看似毫不相关的碎片信息巧妙地串联起来,最终形成一幅宏大而又错综复杂的画面。我特别欣赏作者在处理人物心理层面上的那种克制与精准,他从不急于给出结论,而是像一个观察者,冷静地记录下人性的复杂性——那些隐藏在灿烂笑容下的算计,以及在酒精和聚光灯下逐渐崩塌的自我。我感觉自己仿佛是坐在一个隐秘的角落里,偷听着那些被时间掩埋的秘密对话。这种叙事上的实验性,使得这本书超越了一般的行业回忆录,更像是一部探讨人性与虚幻的文学作品。读到后半部分,我已经完全沉浸在这种碎片化的现实重构之中,对后续情节的发展充满了好奇和期待。
评分这部书的封面设计简直是视觉上的盛宴,那种复古又带着一丝颓废感的字体搭配上略显模糊的黑白照片,一下子就把你拉进了那个光怪陆离的黄金时代。我记得我是在一个阳光明媚的下午翻开它的,结果一下子就被那种浓郁的怀旧气息包裹住了。作者对于场景的描绘极其细腻,你几乎能闻到老旧片场里胶片燃烧的味道,感受到打光灯炙热的温度。他不是简单地罗列事实,而是用一种近乎诗意的笔触,勾勒出那个时代特有的浮华与脆弱。特别是对于那些无名小卒在片场挣扎求存的描写,那种对梦想的执着和随时可能被命运碾压的无力感,写得入木三分。这本书的节奏把握得非常好,时而像一场热闹的派对,充满了喧嚣和八卦,时而又沉静下来,探讨艺术创作背后的巨大代价。它让你意识到,银幕上的光鲜亮丽,背后是无数不为人知的汗水、妥协,乃至心碎。读完前几章,我立刻就想去重温那些经典老电影,带着一种全新的、带着揭秘色彩的眼光去看待那些熟悉的镜头和表演,体验感完全不一样了。
评分这本书的重量感不仅仅体现在纸张的质感上,更在于它所承载的文化厚度。它不是那种浮光掠影的八卦合集,而是对一个特定历史时期电影工业运作机制的深度剖析。作者似乎倾注了大量心血去查证那些流传已久的小道消息,并试图还原其背后的权力结构和金钱交易。特别是关于几部经典影片的幕后制作过程的描述,简直是教科书级别的案例分析。他详细拆解了从剧本修改、选角博弈到最终上映面临审查的每一个环节,让人清晰地看到艺术创作是如何被商业逻辑反复打磨和异化的。我尤其欣赏作者对那些幕后技术人员的尊重和描绘,例如那些无名却至关重要的灯光师、剪辑师和化妆师,他们的贡献在这本书里得到了应有的光芒。这让我对“电影”这个载体本身产生了更深层次的敬意,它不再仅仅是娱乐产品,而是一场精密而残酷的工业奇迹。
评分这本书给我最大的感触是那种弥漫在字里行间的“时代精神的消逝感”。作者的笔触中流露着对某种“旧日荣光”的缅怀,那种对电影艺术近乎宗教般虔诚的年代,似乎已经一去不复返了。每一则故事,无论多么光怪陆离或令人唏嘘,最终都指向一个主题:时代的洪流不可阻挡,昔日的光芒终将被新的技术和新的商业模式所取代。这种怀旧情绪处理得非常高级,它不是盲目的哀叹,而是一种清醒的认知——认识到辉煌的必然落幕,就像目送一位伟大的老演员告别舞台。因此,阅读这本书的过程,仿佛是一次对“逝去美好”的庄严告别仪式。当我合上书本时,心中涌起的不是简单的满足感,而是一种带着淡淡惆怅的敬意,为那些曾经倾尽全力,在聚光灯下留下印记的追梦人,无论他们最终是成功了还是被遗忘了。
