TREASURE ISLAND
Only 73,000 people live on the Isle of Man, but several thousand of them have registered with Jay-Dee Promotions. This is the casting and extras agency John Banks and his wife Pat run to service tile film industry that has suddenly taken off on the island. Banks does not know exactly how many clients he has—he is too busy to count them. And Jay-Dcc is only one of three such agencies that have sprung up in the last year or two.
【B1】 __________
Until recently the island’s principal contributions to cinema were a comedy about motorcycle racing, and Tile Man.am ah, one of Alfred Hitchcock’s silent movies. But producers have now discovered an important reason to undertake the inconvenient voyage to the middle of the Irish Sca-money. In the past couple of years, the Isle of Mall government has lent over £6.5 million of public money to film companies. If a film is a success then the Isle of Man will receive a share of the profits. This has turned the island into an offshore I folly wood.
【B2】 __________
Only one film was made in 1995, two in 1996, but there were no fewer than eleven in the following year. However, from the beginning, the Isle of Man government has followed the strategy of Hollywood, where the role of thumb is that for every ten films, seven will lose money, one will cover its costs, one will provide modest returns, and the tenth, it is hoped, will be an enormous hit.
【B3】 __________
An island 45 kilometres long, with no history of film production, is suddenly turning out the same number of fins as the Scottish film industry, which has a huge pool of local talent and an infrastructure that has evolved over the years. However, it was always the intention of the Isle of Man government to lure productions away from England, Scotland and Ireland.
【B4】 __________
Producers have suddenly discovered the affluent little holiday island to be the perfect location for seemingly any film. It has doubled for Cornwall, Hamburg, Sydney Harbour in the nineteenth century, rural Ireland and inner- city England. It has even attracted a new production of Treasure island. Geographical specifics did not seem to be uppermost in the mind of the film’s producer: ’We gambled with the fact that we would be able to have enough sunny days to be able to do the tropical island part.’
【B5】 __________
Tile Isle of Man film initiative was inspired not by vague dreams of glory, but by hopes of boosting the economy. Its tourist industry has been in decline for twenty years and it was thought that a hit film would help it. One of the early objectives was simply to demonstrate to a doubtful fin industry that it was possible to make feature films on the island.
【B6】 __________
The govcrnmcnt’s financial advisors have targeted films in the £2-3 million price rouge as premising the highest potential returns at least risk. The Isle of Mat) is an important financial centre and this expertise has aided its move into film. The island’s government has another£6.5 million to lend over the next two years and is currently considering building a studio.
【B5】 ______
选项
答案
C
解析
