HOPE FOR FILM: FROM THE FRONTLINES OF THE INDEPENDENT CINEMA REVOLUTIONS
Book ID/图书代码： 12312514B72978
English Summary/英文概要： An inspiring, tell-all look at the indie film business from one of the industry’s most passionate producers, Hope for Film captures the rebellious punk spirit of the indie film boom in 1990s New York City, its collapse two decades later and its current moment of technology-fueled regeneration. Ted Hope, whose films have garnered 12 Oscar nominations, draws from his own personal experiences working on the early films of Ang Lee, Eddie Burns, Hal Hartley, Michel Gondry, Nicole Holofcener, Todd Solondz and other indie mavericks, relating those decisions that brought him success as well as the occasional failure.
Whether navigating negotiations with Harvey Weinstein over final cuts or clashing with high-powered CAA agents over their clients, Hope offers behind-the-scenes stories from the wild and often heated world of low-budget cinema—where art and commerce collide. As mediator between these two opposing interests, Hope offers his unique perspective on how to make movies while keeping your integrity intact and how to create a sustainable business enterprise out of that art while staying true to yourself. Against a backdrop of seismic changes in the indie-film industry, from corporate co-option to the rise of social media, Hope for Film provides not only an entertaining and intimate ride through the ups and downs of the business of art-house movies over the last 25 years, but also hope for its future.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《电影之光》是一部充满灵感启发，内容丰富详尽的独立电影介绍书籍，其作者为行业内最具激情与才华的制作人之一，全书不仅很好的捕捉了独立电影在20世纪90年代的纽约城兴起时的那种反叛朋克精神，还与20年后与其如今的发展趋势相碰撞，在各种技术的助力之下，重新兴起。泰德•霍普的电影作品迄今为止已斩获了12相奥斯卡提名，在本书中，本书中，他将融合自己早年在李安、艾迪•彭斯、哈儿•哈特利、迈克•龚德利、尼克•哈罗凤瑟及托德•索朗兹及许多其他独立电影人身边拍摄的经历，并联系那些让他成功也曾让他挫败一时的决定，以更好地为我们进行讲述。
不论是与哈维•韦恩斯坦就最后的预算削减进行磋商，还是与权高位重的CAA就客户问题发生争论，霍普带领我们看到的是荧幕背后的故事，这些狂野而热切的低成本影片，往往正是艺术与商业碰撞出火花的地方。作为一名两种截然相反利益集团背后的思考者，霍普本人为我们呈现了他独一无二的观点：如何在制作电影的同时保持个人思想的完整性，如何从艺术出发却又创造出不断盈利的商业作品，并能够保持真我。在当今这个独立电影界剧烈变迁的时候，《电影之光》带领我们经历了过去25年中艺术之家的起起落落，从企业联手到独立媒体兴起，不仅充满着乐趣，同时令人倍感亲切，令我们不由得向美好的未来进行展望。（DC）
