原文︰ http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_17430.html 近日版上有一些有關TII幕後的討論 而這篇報導是 Kenny Ortega 有關TII的訪談 其中有 Ortega 對一些相關問題的說法 有興趣的人可以看看 全文很長 以下翻譯其中幾個問答 ------------------------------- Q: Were any musical numbers left out because the footage wasn’t there? 有沒有哪一首曲子不在影片中是因為根本還沒拍攝到它？ KO: Yeah, mm hmm, yeah. The day that Michael died, we were waiting for him to come in to block him into Dirty Diana, which was at the end of Dirty Diana, he stepped into an illusion and before your eyes went up in smoke and then suddenly appeared completely on the other side of the stage rising up on the cherry picker and out over to the audience for Beat It. He was really looking forward to it. The night before, he had said to me he was very happy. He saw the dream coming to life on the stage. The only thing he wanted me to say to anybody creatively, dancers, creative team was, ‘I love them. Everybody’s doing a great job. I love you, Kenny. I’ll see you tomorrow. Thank you.’ He left and we were invigorated. We came back that next day and we were all up on the stage really excited working with our illusion makers, working with our technicians. We had our aerialist, Danielle, on the stage and Tony Testa, one of our associate choreographers was standing in for Michael. It was just like we were getting everything ready for him to walk in and step into what was going to be one of his favorite days because he loved illusion. When we discovered that, in fact everything stopped. KO︰是的。Michael過世那天我們正等他來進行 Dirty Diana 的部分，在 Dirty Diana 的結尾，他會走入特效中，而當觀眾的眼睛在煙霧繚繞中睜開時，舞台的另一邊會出現 活動起重機，然後進入到 Beat It。 他對此很期待。前一天的晚上他對我說他很高興。他看到他的夢想在舞台上實現了。他 希望我對舞者們、創作團隊說︰“我愛他們。每個人都做得很好。我愛你， Kenny。 我們明天見。謝謝你。”然後他回家去了而我們都受到鼓舞。隔天我們回到現場，在舞 台上很興奮的和特效設計師、工程師、舞蹈設計師一起工作。就好像是一切都準備好了， 只等他來，而這一天應該是他會很高興的一天，因為他非常喜歡特效。然後，消息傳來， 所有事情都停擺了。 （補充︰另一個TII舞者的訪問中提到，Michael過世前一晚他們在排練的是︰舞者都戴 著面具的 Thriller。 http://tinyurl.com/yl25q49） Q: How would you like Michael to be remembered as an artist and as a person? 你希望 Michael 留給世人的記憶為何？身為一位藝人、以及身為一個人？ KO: I think people were saying it last night. They were echoing everything that I felt in my heart. People coming up to me and saying, ‘We didn’t get it. We didn’t get the closure from CNN. We didn’t get to say goodbye properly from CNN.’ Not meaning that they were being irresponsible. It was just that the information wasn’t there and that people were saying that not only did we get to have these final moments with Michael as the artist, but we got to come to know him better than ever before as a man. You really came to appreciate his kindness and his sweetness and his generosity and the wonderful collaborative spirit that he was about and the way that he worked with people, never wanting to offend anyone. My God, if he thought that he embarrassed somebody, it would just knock him to his knees. That’s why you always saw him, even in the deepest frustrating moments for him, he would say, ‘With the love. That’s what the rehearsal’s for’ because he really appreciated us so much. He said to me, ‘Kenny, go out and find the best artists in the world. Invite them to come and join our journey and then let’ s inspire them to go to places that they’ve never been before.’ So Michael knew who was in front of him and he had the greatest admiration and respect for everybody. Even if he had a little debate or a disagreement with someone, he never wanted it to get to the place where that person might have thought that he didn’t care for them or that he didn’t respect them. （前面談到一些CNN的部分，我不是很了解…） 在影片中看到的 Michael 最後時光，我們要看的不只是他身為一個藝人的部分，更要看 他身為一個人的部分。大家真的應該珍惜 Michael 的親切體貼、慷慨大方、和他人共事 合作的精神，從不想要冒犯別人。 我的天啊，如果他覺得自己可能使他人受窘，那就好像是他的膝蓋上遭到重擊一樣。你 總是可以看到他這個樣子，即使他最受挫的時候，他也會說︰“With the love. 這就是 我們要排練的原因。”因為他一直很重視我們。他曾對我說︰“Kenny，去找世界上最棒 的藝術家，邀請他們來參加演出，讓我們把他們帶到他們以前從未到達的境地。”因此， Michael 知道在他面前的是些什麼人，而他對這些人都很尊敬。即使他和這些人有小小 的爭辯、意見不合，他也不希望這些人認為他不關心他們，或是他不尊敬他們。 （我猜想，這是Ortega在影片中呈現那些"意見不合"的片段的原因吧…） Q: How do you respond to the This Is Not It website? Would you take legal action? 你要如何回應 This Is Not It？你會採取法律行動嗎？ KO: I don’t. I mean, everybody, the way I look at it is they’re all fans. Everything is coming from a sense of loss. There are some fans out there that are just looking to sort of point at something, to point to the reason why we don’t have Michael anymore, put blame. All I would say is Michael didn’t live that way. That’s not the spirit of Michael Jackson. Michael didn’t assume. There were an awful lot of people though that did assume about Michael Jackson. They created scenarios and they speculated and even persecuted him and demoralized him. I would just say to anyone, if you don’t know what you’re talking about, if you weren’t there, if you don’t have the information, don’t put that information - - don’t. Don’t do it. See the movie. Look at the movie. The movie speaks for itself. It’s Michael. It’ s Michael talking, Michael doing, Michael sharing. It’s pretty clear. It’s pretty honest. It’s pretty raw. It’s pretty unguarded. That Michael wanted to be there. He was doing this. This nourished him. It invigorated him. It excited him. He wanted to do this more than anything other than spend time with his children. This is what he wanted to do. 我不會。我的意思是，我看待這事的想法是，這些人都是fans。所有想法、情緒都來自於 巨大的失落感。他們需要一個原因、一個理由為何我們失去 Michael 了。 我要說的是，Michael不會這樣的。這不是 Michael Jackson 的精神。Michael 不會胡亂 臆測。有些很糟糕的人會編造有關 Michael 的故事。他們杜撰情節、他們胡亂臆測、他 們迫害他、甚至把他妖魔化。我只想說，如果你不知道你在說什麼，如果你不在現場，如 果你沒有第一手資料，就不要用這樣的資料，不要，不要做這樣的事。看電影吧。電影自 己會說話。這就是 Michael，是 Michael 說的話，Michael 做的事，Michael 要分享的。 一切都很清楚、很誠實、沒有經過加工處理。是 Michael 想要去那裏的。他在做的事情 滋養了他、鼓舞了他、讓他興奮。除了陪他的孩子之外，他最想做的就是這件事了。 （註︰這是 Kenny Ortega 的說法。轉錄於此只想讓大家多聽聽各方說法。） --
