6月的某个中午,奥斯卡最佳导演巴瑞·莱文森正在上海银星皇冠的自助餐厅用午餐,而此刻,他的一位多年老友碰巧路过。这位老友热情地上前拍着莱文森的肩膀打了个招呼,莱文森则起身以表敬意,二人耳语寥寥数句之后,这位老朋友在莱文森崇敬的目送下离开。一次偶遇寒暄就这么稀松平常地告一段落,但是每个故事的背后总有一些不那么简单的桥段。巴瑞·莱文森敬重的这位老朋友,两者的交情甚至可以追溯到上世纪九十年代的《巴格西》。当时,巴瑞·莱文森是这部获得十项奥斯卡提名的大热门影片的导演,而启动这一项目的正是那位老朋友,当时还执掌着三星影业的迈克·麦德沃。如今他已成为好莱坞的风云人物,奥斯卡之夜的座上宾,顶级传奇制片人,凤凰影业的CEO。
At noon in June, Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson is lunching at the cafeteria in Shanghai’s Silver Star crown, and at the moment one of his many-year-old friends happened to pass by. The old friend enthusiastically clapped Levinson’s shoulder and said Levinson rose to pay homage. The couple whispered a few words and the old friend left for Levinson’s veneration. An occasional greetings on such a commonplace come to an end, but there are always some behind each story is not so simple. The old friend whom Barry Levinson respects can even be traced back to the “Baggsy” of the nineties of the last century. At that time, Barry Levinson was the director who won the top ten Oscar nominations, and it was the old friend who started the project, Mike McDowell, who was in charge of Samsung Pictures at the time. Now he has become a figure in Hollywood, Oscars night guest, top legendary producer, Phoenix Pictures CEO.
