幕后故事:《保持通话》改编自2004年好莱坞“New Line公司”亿万卖座巨献《驳命来电》的剧本。原著电影由《神奇4侠》(Fantastic Four)中的“火小子”基思伊云斯(Chris Evans)主演一位原本与事件毫无关系的路人,因女主角金碧辛嘉(Kim Basinger)意外驳一通求救电话而令两人关系迭上。因为这个电话对话,令原本毫无关系的两个人生死被牵引于一线,为保命而衍生无限惊险场面。
《保持通话》最为广泛瞩目,自然是质素保证的陈木胜导演,怎样技惊四座、再创新猷,改编《驳命来电》这个好莱坞经典剧本,为华语片历史制造完美第一次。陈导演表示,他花近差不多两年时间钻研这个故事的剧本后,最终坚持沿用原著里关键情节,却重新设计其角色和细节,将之本地化,他更笑言这次拍摄经验相当具挑战性。
陈木胜喜爱动作片的缘由,可从他的成长过程说起:“哥哥常带我到电影院看戏,每每看过李小龙的演出,我便按不住舞手弄脚,也可能因此启发了我对动作片的热诚。”在事业的初期,他为无线电视广播公司拍摄过很多受欢迎的动作及武侠形式的电视剧。陈木胜于2000年投身电影圈,首部电影作品是由刘德华主演的浪漫动作片《天若有情》,作品更瞬即成为港人经典电影,并开展了新一段光影旅程。
近年,陈木胜和成龙合作了三部电影,均叫好又叫座,受到一致推崇的包括:《我是谁》(1998)、《新警察故事》(2004)和《宝贝计划》(2006)。于2004和2005年,陈木胜更凭《双雄》和《新警察故事》获香港电影金像奬提名最佳导演。至今,陈木胜共出任超过16部电影的导演和5部电影的监制。
陈木胜导演花了近两年的时间开发这个故事的剧本,把一个已经非常成熟的好莱坞作品改编成一个中国商业大片,实在非常有挑战性。陈导坚持延用原来故事里的所有关键情节,但是重新设计了故事里的人物,并且把他们本地化。陈导认为:“人们今天非常依赖他们的手机,你随处一看就可以发现:有人在发短信,有人打电话,还有人用手机听音乐。我之所以对这个项目感兴趣是因为它让我思考:每天我们收到那么多电话,其中一个可会是那个“改变命运的电话”?任何一秒钟,你和我,或者是任何普通人都有机会变成一个英雄。对我来讲,为了一个素未谋面的人而冒生命的危险是非常感人的。”
古天乐在2006年的大片《宝贝计划》中曾与陈木胜导演合作。古天乐觉得:“过去几年,我出演过出租车司机、抗癌建筑师、吸毒者、死去的货车司机、卧底、黑帮老大等,终于,我有机会演一个动作英雄!这是每个男生的梦想,也是每个演员梦寐以求的。”
改编版的故事里还加入了一点浪漫的情节。台湾美女徐熙媛说:“哪个女生不想让帅哥古天乐救呢?被带着闪亮铁甲的白马王子解救是每个女生的梦想。不过这次,我的角色其实花很长时间在电话上去说服古天乐来救我!”徐熙媛这次在电影中饰演一个高级电子工程师,和一个上幼儿园的小女儿相依为命。
刘烨目前是中国国内最有前途的青年演员之一。从二十年代的黑帮到唐朝的王子,他的魅力让世界观众所为之倾倒。刘烨这样认为:“我演坏人的角色已经演了很多次,我的挑战是要怎样去让角色与众不同、活灵活现?能够跟一位会给演员很大创作自由的导演合作,实在不是演员经常会碰到的,我很荣幸。”
片中的另一位主要演员张家辉认为:“这次能够演一个我最喜欢的演员之一威廉麦斯 (William H. Macy)演过的角色,我特别荣幸。我读剧本的时候,就爱上了自己的角色。能够在一部大片中演出一个有深度的角色真是可遇而不可求的。”
