1. Will there be references to Race to the edge in how to train your dragon 3 or how do you feel race to the edge interpreted what happened between the first and second movie? 驯3与RTTE之间是否会有一定关联,或者RTTE对驯1与驯2之间发生的故事做出了阐释? - I would agree with the latter. I would say Race to the Edge deals with what the first two movies go over. The film trilogy tends to stick to its film characters and script. Although we do tend to maintain to the universe. - 我会更同意后者。我觉得RTTE是在对前两部电影进行了一些阐释。电影三部曲会更偏向于对人物与剧本进行演绎,不过我们也在尽力保证世界观的合理性。
2. Does Hiccup and Astrid get married and find The Hidden World while on their honeymoon? 在驯3中Hicstrid是否已经结婚,这次隐秘世界的探寻是不是发生在他们的蜜月期中呢? - The movie promises future developments for Hiccup and Astrid but to say anymore would be a spoiler. The HiccStrid fans will be happy. - 我不能跟你交代太多,不然就剧透了。但是电影会让两个人在关系上更进一步的,Hicstrid粉会很开心的。
4. Without giving too much away, how much of the draft that Spielberg read is still in the film? 在尽量不要剧透的情况下,您能不能告诉我斯皮尔伯格当时读到的剧本里面,还有多少情节被保留在了电影里面? 【这个问题来自于之前斯皮尔伯格在看到剧本是的感言:我太喜欢这个剧本了,我在读到最后一部分的时候,泪水夺眶而出,这是无法被评价的经典,是超乎原作的。】 - The movie is largely the same. With some of the details altered as characters evolved. We hope to show him the film soon, and we hope he still likes it as much as when he read the draft. - 电影基本没有什么改动,但是我们对角色成长的时候的一些细节进行了调整。我们希望能尽快把电影拿给他看,也很希望他还能像当时那么喜欢那个剧本一样,喜欢我们的这部电影。
7. Hi Dean, I just watched the trailer and had no idea there would be a 3rd movie. In the trailer he says “there were dragons when I was a boy”, how much on a scale from 1 to 10, will I be crying from this film? (10 being the most tears!!) Dean你好,我刚刚看完预告片,之前我都没意识到还有驯3。在预告片里面我听到了那句“there were dragons when I was a boy”。如果以10分为满分打分,我会哭成什么样子?(10分肯定是泪流满面) - We’re hoping for a solid 10. I’m always a little disappointed when someone says, "I didn't cry when I watched your film." - 我们很希望会是个满分。当别人告诉我“我看完你的电影的时候没有哭”的时候,我总是会有些失望的。
8. Can you tell us what was the inspiration of the hidden world? is there any place in particular you got the design idea from? Thank you! 您能讲讲隐秘世界的灵感来源吗?有什么让你灵光一现的东西吗? - The hidden world is a combination of fantasy elements grounded in real world physics. It features fungi and bioluminescence and coral, to give it an otherworldly feel. And yet, the idea was to create a believable world that could exist beneath our own. As with everything in the How To Train Your Dragon universe, we rely on credible earthly physics and elements, without ever going to something magical. The hole in the sea that is featured in the trailer, is in fact... A massive volcanic caldera that serves as a gateway to an endless maze of chambers and tunnels that work their way around the world. - 隐秘世界是现实世界的奇幻元素的结合。里面有着菌类,发光生物,珊瑚,让人感觉处于异世界一般。而其目的还是创造一个让人信服的,存在与地下的世界。在驯龙高手的宇宙当中,我们依赖于这些存在的地面元素,从来不会利用魔法。而在预告片中,海里的那个大洞,其实……是一个巨大的火山中心,是通往地面之下错综复杂的隧道,地洞的入口。
10. Dean, tell us the importance of John Powell's music and Jonsi's voice and the perfect match these sounds bring to the series. Dean,你觉得John Powell的音乐,Jonsi的歌声,他们有多重要,而他们完美的合作又为驯龙高手带来了什么呢? I’ve been a long Sigur Ros fan, and that led to me meeting the band and doing a couple film projects with them about a decade ago. As a result, Jonsi and I became good friends. As a result, I invited him to contribute some music to both films. He will be again working with John Powell on original music for this third installment of the trilogy. He is perhaps the most talented person I know and a huge inspiration. 我一直都很喜欢诗格洛丝【乐队,Jonsi为主唱】,这促使我在大约十年前去见了他们,和他们进行了合作。结果Jonsi和我就变成了好朋友,我也就邀请他来为驯1和驯2创作音乐。他将会再次与Powell为驯3创作原声带,他应该是我见过的最有天分的人了,也对我有着巨大的启发。
11. Hi Dean! Thank you for doing this AMA! So pumped for the film! What is your screenwriting process and what advice would you have for anyone wanting to write a script? Dean您好!感谢您能腾出时间来进行这次问答环节!我已经迫不及待想要看到电影了!您是怎么完成这个剧本的,对想要写剧本的人有什么样的建议呢? - I spend a lot of time in the outline, going over the structure with a fine toothed comb. Once I feel good about the structure, I go to the script. I recommend Blake Schneider’s Save the Cat Books to anyone who is interested in screenwriting, because they offer a lot of sage advice in a fun and easy to digest and apply way. 我花了很久的时间去写大纲,又死抠细节把结构梳理了一遍。等我觉得结构已经完成的差不多的时候,我再去写剧本。想写剧本的朋友,我推荐你们去看布莱克·斯奈德的《救猫咪——电影编剧宝典》,这个系列风趣地提供了很多非常好、容易消化、容易上手的建议。
