英國最令人矚目的王室夫婦、蘇賽克斯公爵和公爵夫人——哈里王子和梅根·馬克爾又有新消息了。

當?shù)貢r間9月2日,全球最大付費流媒體平臺網(wǎng)飛(Netflix)宣布,英國哈里王子及其夫人梅根已與他們簽署了一份為期數(shù)年的制作協(xié)議,兩人將以制作人的身份,為該公司制作獨家電影和系列電視劇。

 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially launched their new Hollywood careers Wednesday, signing a deal with Netflix to produce "impactful" films and series for the streaming giant.

周三,哈里王子和梅根·馬克爾正式開始了他們在好萊塢的新事業(yè),他們與Netflix公司簽署了一項協(xié)議,將為這家流媒體巨頭制作“有影響力的”電影和電視劇。

The couple -- who quit the British royal family and moved to California this year -- already have multiple projects in development, although former "Suits" star Markle has no plans to return to acting.

這對夫婦今年離開了英國王室,搬到了加州,目前已經(jīng)有多個項目在開發(fā)中,不過曾出演過《金裝律師》的梅根并沒有重返演藝圈的計劃。

"Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope," the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement to AFP.

蘇塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人在給法新社的一份聲明中說:“通過我們與不同群體的合作,為世界各地的人們及其事業(yè)帶來光明,我們將專注于創(chuàng)造出既富含信息,又能給人們播種希望的內容。”

"As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us, as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens."

“作為新手父母,制作鼓舞人心的家庭節(jié)目對我們來說也很重要,因為通過真實和讓人產(chǎn)生共鳴的鏡頭講故事非常有感染力。”

 

A nature documentary series and an animated series focused on inspiring women are among the first projects, which the couple said aim to "share impactful content that unlocks action."

一個旨在鼓舞女性的自然紀錄片系列和一個動畫系列是首批項目,這對夫婦說,這些項目旨在“分享開啟行動的有影響力的內容”。

盡管哈里梅根夫婦與網(wǎng)飛達成的協(xié)議尚未披露財務條款,但據(jù)知情人士透露,這份協(xié)議的價值可能高達1.5億美元(折合人民幣約為10億元)。

網(wǎng)飛首席內容官泰德·薩蘭多斯在接受采訪時表示,“我為哈里梅根夫婦選擇了網(wǎng)飛而感到自豪,能夠與他們一起講述故事,我感到很高興。”

"Harry and Meghan have inspired millions of people all around the world with their authenticity, optimism and leadership," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix s co-CEO and Chief Content Officer.

泰德·薩蘭多斯稱:“哈里和梅根用他們的真實、樂觀和領導力激勵了全世界數(shù)百萬人”。

"We re incredibly proud they have chosen Netflix as their creative home -- and are excited about telling stories with them that can help build resilience and increase understanding for audiences everywhere."

“他們選擇Netflix作為創(chuàng)意之家,我們感到非常自豪,也很高興能和他們一起講故事,這有助于增強韌性,增進各地觀眾的理解。”

CNN報道稱,這項協(xié)議與網(wǎng)飛在2018年和奧巴馬夫婦達成的協(xié)議類似。

 

2018年,奧巴馬夫婦曾出售自傳版權并建立自己的制作公司,網(wǎng)飛隨即與他們達成了協(xié)議。根據(jù)協(xié)議內容,奧巴馬夫婦制作的紀錄片片酬為5000萬美元(折合人民幣約為3.4億元)。

然而,據(jù)英國《每日郵報》報道,哈里和梅根與網(wǎng)飛的這項協(xié)議卻可能受到英國王室的審查。

 

Royal officials will examine Prince Harry and Meghan Markle s Netflix deal after they agreed to approval of any new commercial ventures when they quit public life.

盡管英國王室同意哈里王子和梅根在辭任王室公職身份后開展新的商業(yè)活動,但王室官員仍將“審查他們與Netflix的協(xié)議”。

A palace source claimed that despite ditching official duties any profit-oriented plans would be subject to discussion .

一位宮廷消息人士稱,盡管放棄了官方職責,但任何以利潤為導向的計劃都“有待商榷”。

Harry and Meghan got the green light to broker commercial deals in January - but the moneymaking projects will be scrutinised by the Queen after a year.

哈里和梅根在1月份獲得了進行商業(yè)交易的許可,但這些盈利項目將在一年后受到女王的審查。

The historic agreement ruled the couple will drop their HRH titles, pay back £2.4million of taxpayer cash and no longer receive public funds.

這一具有歷史意義的協(xié)議規(guī)定,這對夫婦將放棄他們的殿下頭銜,償還240萬英鎊納稅人的稅款,不再接受公共基金。

In exchange, they were allowed to quit frontline duties and given licence to expand their Sussex Royal brand.

作為交換,他們可以辭去王室公職,并獲準擴大蘇塞克斯皇家品牌。

Yet Her Majesty, who is understood to be anxious the couple could use their royal credentials to line their pockets, will be watching them closely.

然而,女王陛下將會密切關注他們,因為她擔心這對夫婦會利用他們的王室身份來中飽私囊。

Insiders told MailOnline the blueprint thrashed out at Sandringham is subject to an annual review in the Spring of 2021, although a date has not yet been confirmed.

內部人士告訴《每日郵報》,桑德靈漢姆宮敲定的這份審查方案將于2021年春季進行年度評估,不過具體日期尚未確定。

哈里梅根創(chuàng)王室先例進軍好萊塢,你怎么看呢?
