Julianna Margulies On Why She Didn’t Reprise Her ‘Good Wife’ Role On ‘The Good Fight’: “CBS Wouldn’t Pay Me”
新聞原文:
In February, The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies revealed to Deadline that
she almost reprised her role as Alicia Floreck on the current third season of
the spinoff series The Good Fight on CBS All Access. She said she “really
wanted to do it” but “the deal didn’t happen.”
The Emmy-winning actress is now opening up about the reasons the deal did not
come together. “CBS wouldn’t pay me,” Margulies told Deadline on Sunday
while attending The Contenders Emmys event to promote her new Nat Geo
miniseries The Hot Zone. She had addressed the issue at the Series Mania
festival in France last week where she was quoted as saying, “The
showrunners had found a nice away to reintroduce my character, a story that
was to span three episodes. I was really excited about the idea, but CBS
refused to pay my (ask).”
She elaborated to Deadline that she had not asked for more than her regular
fee, which I hear was in line with what Margulies made on The Good Wife. I
hear what she was offered was a Good Fight guest star rate.
“I’m not a guest star; I started the whole thing with The Good Wife,”
Margulies told Deadline. “I wanted to be paid my worth and stand up for
equal pay. if Jon Hamm came back for a Mad Men spinoff or Kiefer Sutherland
wanted to do a 24 spinoff, they would be paid.”
Margulies, who won two Emmys for her role on The Good Wife, talked to
Deadline about discussing a three-episode arc with The Good Fight
co-creators/executive producers Robert and Michelle King, who also created
and executive produced CBS’ The Good Wife. Both series are produced by CBS
TV Studios.
Back in February, Robert King confirmed that bringing Alicia back was
considered, and he shed some light on her potential storyline.
“We thought maybe about making a big episode where she would be at the
resistance, Diane (Christine Baranski) and her face each other,” he told
reporters. “But that would be the end of the story. It felt like an asterisk.
”
Also back in February, Margulies talked to Deadline about keeping a very
close personal connection to Alicia. “I think about her all the time,” she
said. “I think about how she would answer a question. I could be in the
middle of a conversation and I wonder, ‘How would Alicia answer this?’ She’
s just so much smarter than me. I do think about her. I miss her and I love
her.”
After the deal fell through, Margulies rules out a possible stint on future
seasons of The Good Fight, which she said she loves. She praised the quality
of the storytelling and the cast, sharing her regret she would not be able to
work again with Baranski and Cush Jumbo, her co-stars on The Good Wife and
who are her friends. She also said that she regrets she would not be bringing
back Alicia for the fans who had been asking for the character’s return to
The Good Fight ever since the spinoff was announced.
Margulies today echoed some comments she made last week in France. “To be
perfectly honest, I was shocked. I was more surprised than hurt. I thought,
what are you worth? If you are worthless, if you are not valued for your
work, than what’s the point?”
中文重點摘要:
在 The good wife 中飾演 Alicia Floreck 的 Julianna Margulies 表示自己很希望能出現在 The good fight 當中,而劇組有考慮安排3集長度的故事讓 Alicia 回歸。
但在薪資的問題上和 CBS 沒辦法達成共識, Margulies 表示她沒有開出比她一般演出(過去在 TGW 主演時)還高的薪資,但傳 CBS 只願意給出 TGF 中客串明星水準的報酬,因此最後回歸一事並沒有談成。
後面大概就是在講 Margulies 很喜歡 Alicia 這個角色啦、也很喜歡 TGF 啦、被合理對待很重要等等。還有製作人 Robert King 也曾表示考慮讓 Alicia 和 Diane 在劇中面對面(但那可能就會是在結局後的星號/註解了)。
心得:
我真的很愛 TGW 跟 TGF,真的好希望看到更多 TGW 的角色回歸!(尤其是那些法官,不過這季法庭部分好少)但看來 Alicia 暫時是沒希望了......
