電影里那些動輒上億的現金紙幣都是真的嗎

Rappaport is the founder of Atlanta-based RJR Props, a movie prop company that specializes in faux cash for filming. His money was used in "The Wolf of Wall Street," "The Fast and the Furious," the Netflix series "Ozark" and in 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar music videos. But printing money is a delicate business, which is why he stays in touch with the men in black.
拉帕波特是亞特蘭大RJR Props公司的創始人,這家公司專門為電影拍攝提供道具鈔票,他們制造的道具鈔票曾出現在電影《華爾街之狼》、《速度與激情》、Netflix連續劇《黑錢勝地》、歌手肯德里克·拉馬爾的《50美分》和其他音樂錄像帶中。但是,制作道具鈔票是一門需要非常小心處理的生意, 它和違法犯罪只有一線之隔。

"I wanted clarity about laws and regulations. Most other companies that make prop money are actually producing illegal prop money, and that can get a show shut down and someone fined and jailed."
“我想弄清楚相關的法律法規。很多公司都在違法制造道具鈔票,這可能會導致節目停播,相關人士也可能會被罰款或監禁。”
Too good to be fake
技術太好 過于真實
Technically, fake money in the US should adhere to strict federal rules, which include being printed on one side only and being significantly larger or smaller than actual currency. But not everyone is on board with the rules, and incidents do happen.
一般來說,制造道具鈔票需要嚴格遵守聯邦法律。法律要求道具鈔票只能在一面印刷、整體尺寸要比真鈔更大或者更小。但是并非所有公司都能嚴格遵守法律,所以經常會發生一些意外事故。
In 2001, during the filming of "Rush Hour 2" in Las Vegas, about $1 billion in convincing prop money was blown up during a scene, but some bills escaped destruction and ended up in circulation. That's when the Secret Service got involved. The event set a precedent for prop money makers.
2001年,《尖峰時刻》第二季在拉斯維加斯拍攝期間,面值大約10億美元的道具鈔票在拍攝中被炸毀,但部分鈔票并未銷毀,而且流出市面。結果需要美國特勤局介入處理。這一事件為專門制造“道具鈔票”的道具公司開了先例。
Rappaport said he speaks directly with the government to comply with federal rules while finding ways to create the best possible fake dollars.
拉帕波特稱,在制造更加仿真的道具鈔票過程中,他會向政府部門咨詢,以確保自己沒有違反法律。
"Our standard grade prop money is printed on both sides, but has an optical illusion built into it. It looks realistic at an arm's length, but when you start bringing it closer, it actually changes over and it reveals itself as fake." The trick, he said, is to make it look real on camera but fake if somebody tries to spend it at a store.
“標準級別的道具鈔票是在鈔票的兩面都印刷圖案,但和真鈔在視覺上會有差別。在一個手臂距離外,它看上去十分逼真,一旦拿近了看,便會發現這是道具鈔票。”他說道,這個小技巧會使道具鈔票在電影里看上去更逼真,但又能避免有些人以假亂真,在現實生活中使用這些道具鈔票。
We also have a high grade type, better known as close up money. That's the one you use for a close-up scene, or if somebody is counting money and putting it in someone else's hands. That looks fantastic. But since it looks so real, we can print it on one side only."
“我們也制造進階級別的道具鈔票,也就是大家熟知的用于特寫鏡頭下的道具鈔票。在特寫鏡頭下、某位演員在數錢或者把錢塞到別人手中時,就會用到這種道具鈔票。但是由于工藝太過精湛,它們看起來太過逼真,因此我們只敢在鈔票的一面印刷圖案。”
I’m a Not Real
我不是真鈔
To comply with federal laws, reproduction money cannot be made by modifying the design of actual money, so RJR Props have created their own design.
法律規定,不得修改真鈔的設計以作商業用途。因此,RJR 道具公司進行了自主設計。
"We start from scratch. We start with blank paper. We get a paper that looks incredible. Some of our paper has a color change as you move across: pink-yellow-pink or green-yellow-green. We're the only company in the world that does this because it's very expensive, but we want our money to look right," said Rappaport.
拉帕波特稱,“我們重新設計。剛開始我們在普通的白紙上印刷,后來我們發現了一種非常神奇的紙,它可以隨著光線角度不同變換顏色:粉色-黃色-粉色或者綠色-黃色-綠色。我們是世界上唯一使用這種紙張的公司,因為它很昂貴。但我們不惜代價,只為了讓道具鈔票更加逼真。”

At a glance, the high-grade money looks just like the real thing. But once you zoom in, the differences become obvious.
乍一看,這些道具鈔票就像真的一樣,但一旦拿近了看,就能看到很明顯的差別。
Instead of "United States Federal Reserve," the words under the "100" in the top left corner read "Unreal Fake Currency Reserve." The artwork of Franklin's face has been done from scratch, and doesn't have his name underneath it. The seal is a different design, and the two signatures actually read "I’m a Not Real" and "Not Real Currency" instead of the names of the Treasurer of the United States and the Secretary of the Treasury. Nothing survives the scrutiny: even "United States" is spelled with a "W" instead of a "U."
以100美元為例,道具鈔票左上角的“100”下面寫的不是“聯邦儲蓄委員會”,而是“假鈔貨幣委員會”。富蘭克林的頭像是重新繪畫的,下面也沒有標出他的名字。旁邊的印章圖案也和真鈔不同,真鈔上會印有美國財政部和財政部長的簽名,而道具鈔票則印有“我不是真鈔”及“假鈔”等字樣。道具鈔票上的任何元素都經不起推敲,甚至連“United States”的拼寫都故意寫錯,把“U”寫成了“W”。
One of the largest orders of prop money RJR has ever filled was for Neflix's "Ozark," in which a drug cartel lawyer, played by Jason Bateman, stashes large amounts of cash in the walls of his house and other locations.
RJR公司接到的最大一筆訂單來自于Netflix《黑錢勝地》劇組,杰森·貝特曼飾演的販毒集團律師將大量現金藏在家中的墻壁和其他地點。

Hollywood of the South
南方好萊塢
The Atlanta area, where RJR is based, has recently become a huge filmmaking capital, thanks to attractive tax credits, and has earned the nickname "Hollywood of the South." It boasts the largest purpose-built studio outside of Hollywood, Pinewood Studios, where "Avengers: Infinity War," and "Spider-Man: Homecoming" were both filmed.
RJR公司的總部位于亞特蘭大,得益于誘人的稅收優惠政策,近年來該地區已經成為一個知名的電影制作中心,人們稱之為“南方好萊塢”。亞特蘭大擁有僅次于好萊塢、美國第二大電影工作室——松木工作室。《復仇者聯盟3:無限戰爭》、《蜘蛛俠:英雄歸來》等電影都是在這里拍攝的。
To keep up with demand, RJR has about 30,000 different props other than money in stock, including everything from fake cocaine to space capsules (the latter used in the NASA drama "Hidden Figures.")
為了滿足電影的拍攝需求,除了道具鈔票外,RJR公司還制造了3萬余種道具,包括假的可卡因和太空艙(以NASA為題材的電影《隱藏人物》就曾使用過這里的假太空艙)。

A large part of the business is music videos, which fuel a lot of the demand for fake money. "We get music video artists probably 20 times a week, which is really quite, quite a bit if you think about it," said Rappaport.
制作音樂視頻需要大量道具鈔票,這刺激了市場對道具鈔票的需求。拉帕波特透露:“每周大約有20個需要拍攝音樂視頻的藝術家來到公司。仔細想想,真是相當多了。”
While most props are rented, money is almost always purchased. But does anybody in the business use real cash?
雖然電影和音樂視頻中的大多數道具都是租來的,但道具鈔票幾乎都是買來的。但是否有人在拍攝過程中使用真鈔呢?
"Yes, actually there are a number of artists who use real money," Rappaport revealed. "But I can't say who uses real money and who uses fake money because it would be a security risk."
拉帕波特表示:“實際上有很多人會用真鈔進行拍攝,但我不能透露太多,這會給我帶來麻煩。”

道具鈔票還挺有趣的,小譯好想收藏一張呀!但它們畢竟是假的,還是真鈔更實用~話說回來,2019年即將過半,大家的錢包有沒有變鼓一點點呢
