妮可基嫚:1個承諾,7 年,與 15 位女導演

◎陳劭任/來源:BIOS影劇

2018 年坎城影展上最讓人印象深刻的一幕,是在電影《太陽之女》放映前的紅毯上,當屆評審團主席凱特布蘭琪登高一呼,率領 82 位女性電影工作者站上紅毯階梯,共同發表促進電影產業中性別平等的聲明。

那份聲明裡最震耳欲聾的不是任何振奮人心的口號,而是數字:82 與 1688。

82 位女性,是歷來踏上坎城紅毯的女性導演數量,而與之相對的男性導演,是 1688 位。當中獲得金棕櫚獎的男性導演超過 71 位,而女性導演則是 2 位。

如今 6 年過去,這數字有了大幅的成長,獲得金棕櫚獎的女性導演翻倍,來到 4 位。

一切都關乎數字。登高疾呼的背面,也有人在為影視產業裡的數字埋頭奮戰。在凱特布蘭琪號召聲明的前一年,妮可基嫚一次帶著 4 部作品來到坎城影展。在《聖鹿之死》的媒體採訪裡,她公開發下諾言——

「每 18 個月左右,我就會跟一位女性導演合作拍一部電影。因為當其他女性說『我現在只會選擇一位女性合作』的時候,這才是唯一能夠改變統計數據的方式。」

7 年過去,許多人或許已經不記得當初這份承諾。今年十月,一則 X 上的貼文羅列了妮可基嫚這幾年來合作的女性導演名單,文章在兩週內被分享近 6 千次,許多人才驚覺,妮可基嫚並不只是說說而已。

這一串女性導演名單裡,是——

◦ 影集《美麗心計》(2017)的 Andrea Arnold

◦ 電影《毀滅者》(2018)的 Karyn Kusama

◦ 影集《還原人生》(2020)與《模範愛侶》(2024)的 Susanne Bier

◦ 影集《她們的怒吼》(2022)的 So Yong Kim、Quyen Tran、Anya Adams、Liz Flahive、Rashida Jones、Kim Gehrig、Channing Godfrey Peoples

◦ 影集《小鎮主婦的愛與死》(2023)的 Lesli Linka Glatter

◦ 影集《外籍之人》(2024)的王子逸

◦ 電影《乖女孩》(2024)的 Halina Reijn

◦ 動畫《Spellbound》(2024)的 Vicky Jenson

◦ 電影《Holland, Michigan》(未上映)的 Mimi Cave

換算她當初的承諾——7 年,84 個月,四捨五入的標準是 5 位女導演。而妮可基嫚做到的是整整三倍。

2017 年的這份承諾,或許也來自身邊最親近的人。妮可基嫚當時在《Glamour》的訪問裡提到:「我 9 歲的女兒現在想成為一名導演。她的態度是『這世界是我的舞台』,但她沒有意識到事實上並不是這樣。」

後來女兒終究沒有走上導演的路,但妮可基嫚卻為更多女性電影工作者開了窗。

​2010 年,妮可基嫚成立自己的製作公司 Blossom Film,以製片人的身份向更多女性導演遞出橄欖枝。比起單純的演員身份,製片人有更多的話語權和權限為工作人員們設下保障,這 15 位女性導演的名單裡,有 12 位導演簽約成為 Blossom Film 旗下的員工,即使在沒有拍攝的空窗期裡,也有穩定的薪資確保生活不虞匱乏。

​而這些合作導演中,固然有像助她奪下威尼斯最佳女演員獎、再創事業高峰的 Halina Reijn,或者是以《別告訴她》在獎季大放異彩的王子逸,卻也未必每次合作都能夠大獲成功,然而妮可基嫚願意最大程度地提供嘗試與摸索的空間。

​只要多一位女性導演加入,在統計數字上,那就是 0 與 1 的巨大差別。


今年的艾美獎頒獎典禮上,主持人 Steve Martin 在台上調侃妮可基嫚:「我如果遇到一個不認識的演員,我只要跟他說『我喜歡你跟妮可基嫚的那場戲』,那就包準沒錯。」搞笑段子背後的台詞是,她出鏡頻率太高了。

年過五十之後,同期的許多演員紛紛選擇減少產量,但妮可基嫚卻看似反其道而行。光是 2024 年,她就有兩部電影和兩部影集確定上映,以及更多籌備中或等待上映的作品,多到《Variety》直接在專訪文章的第一句寫:「妮可基嫚是現在好萊塢最勤勞工作的人嗎?」

不是沒想過休息,但對現階段的她而言,更重要的是透過監製和演出,為更多電影人製造工作機會——尤其是女性電影人們。2024 年妮可基嫚出鏡的 4 部作品裡,全部都是由女性導演執導。

今年四月妮可基嫚在獲頒美國電影學會終身成就獎時,談到與女導演合作的起點,那是 1996 年珍康萍執導的《妮可基嫚之風情萬種》。「在那之後我又跟許多女導演合作,未來也還會有更多。我很開心以製片人的身份支持她們,這是我的目標。過去十年,我真正的目標就是用我所有的力量去支援她們。」

7 年 15 位女性導演,靠的並非橫空出世,而是妮可基嫚落地的實踐。畢竟,「作為一名倡議者,你必須真的將事情付諸行動。」

    For example, I always think about backup options, especially in winter. Snow chains are just the backup option that saved me more than once on a snowy or icy highway.

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more
    in the way of content so people could connect with it
    better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
    or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
