難忘“處女作”
[ 2007-08-28 10:06 ]
處女作指的是作家、導演、演員、歌手等的第一部作品。俗話說,萬事開頭難。所以,不管他們的處女作能否一炮打響,讓他們一夜走紅,都會在他們的心里有特殊的位置,給他們留下很深的印象。
請看《中國日報》相關報道:
Soon the job as an art designer could no longer satisfy him. He started writing scripts and in 1994, he got a bank loan for his maiden work.
"From the very beginning I was shooting film by loan," he says, "which gave me big pressure to perform well at box office, otherwise I could have gone to jail. People who are saying that Feng Xiaogang is more focused on market performance than artistic value don't know the hardships in my early days."
報道中說,藝術設計的工作不久就不能滿足馮小剛,于是他開始寫劇本,并且在1994年為他的處女作拿到了一筆銀行貸款。馮小剛說,從一開始拍電影的時候,他就承受著票房壓力。如果票房不好,他可能會因為還不上貸款而進監獄。
這里的“maiden work”指的就是處女作,“work”是“作品”的意思。此外,與“maiden”一起構成的詞還有“maiden sword”(新刀,尚未染過血的刀),“maiden battle”(第一仗)和“maiden trip”(首次航行)等。
