1.目前,好莱坞主要的电影制片公司——哥伦比亚、米梅、派拉蒙、20世纪福斯、联美、环球和华纳兄弟——都向于追随美国工业中盛行的企业合并模式。例如,1981年,口可乐公司吞并了哥伦比亚电影制片公司;同年,属于跨公司的联美电影制片公司也卖给了米高梅电影制片公司。这样,与过去相比,这些大电影制片公司经过从60年代到年代的漫长复苏和积累,再加上80年代初所发生的种种变,在财力和资本方面都达到了一个新的水平,这为当代好坞的勃兴提供了扎实的经济基础。与此同时并与此紧密关联的是,拍摄数量较少、投资较的新片,成为当代好莱坞电影制作的一种典范形式。一家电影制片公司过去通常每年制作50部影片左右,而现在它发行的影片一般不会超过12到15部。有一种情形看来很明,少数投资很大的巨片可以赚回高额利润,电影制片公司独立制片人都试图竭尽全力制作这类高成本的影片。因为其大批量制作各类低成本影片(B级片)求得相应的利润,
1. Currently, major Hollywood film studios - Columbia, Memeville, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, United Artists, Universal and Warner Bros. - are all following the corporate mergers that prevail in the US industry. For example, Coca-Cola annexed Colombian film studios in 1981; in the same year, United Artists, a cross-company film studio, was also sold to MGM Studios. In this way, compared with the past, these big film studios, after a long period of recovery and accumulation from the 1960s to the 1990s, together with the changes that took place in the early 1980s, reached a new level of both financial and capital resources, This provides a solid economic foundation for the boom of the contemporary era. At the same time, closely related to this is the fact that filming fewer and more expensive new films has become a model for contemporary Hollywood filmmaking. A movie studio used to produce about 50 movies a year, and now it does not usually publish more than 12 to 15 movies. In one case, it seems clear that a handful of large, heavily-invested giants can make huge profits, and independent filmmakers are trying to make every effort to produce such high-cost films. Because of its mass production of various types of low-cost video (B-class film) to obtain the corresponding profits,
