Welcome to the Red Granite Party, the emergence of real film, real content, and the change of the film industry forever.

歡迎來到 "紅色花崗岩派對"，這裡將出現真正的電影、真正的內容，並將永遠改變電影業。

程度副詞

It was a very strange experience, because it was the sort of equivalent of a big studio party.

這是一次非常奇特的經歷，因為這就相當於一個大型的工作室派對。

It was just this heaving mass of people, and then stars everywhere.

Right, you know, Leonardo DiCaprio was there, and then Kanye West comes on stage, and Jamie

對，你知道，萊昂納多-迪卡普里奧在那裡，然後坎耶-韋斯特上臺，傑米

福克斯也加入進來，他們一起表演了《掘金者》。

And the guy next to me is like, that's like a million dollars, burn, right there.

我旁邊的人就說，那可是一百萬美元啊，就在那兒燒。

It was kind of bizarre, because no one actually knew who Red Granite were.

這有點奇怪，因為實際上沒有人知道紅色花崗岩是誰。

They just sort of launched, and suddenly they were here with this massive party.

他們就這樣啟動了，突然就在這裡舉辦了這個盛大的派對。

People were really sort of stunned, wondering, who are these people?

人們真的有點驚呆了，想知道這些人是誰？

These officials and their associates conspired to misappropriate and launder billions of dollars.

這些官員及其同夥共謀挪用和清洗數十億美元。

Through complex money laundering schemes and a web of opaque transactions, including high-end real estate in New York and Los Angeles.

通過複雜的洗錢計劃和不透明的交易網絡，包括紐約和洛杉磯的高端房地產。

They used the money to pay gambling debts at Las Vegas casinos.

他們用這筆錢償還了在拉斯維加斯賭場欠下的賭債。

A motion picture company used more than $100 million of that.

一家電影公司使用了其中的 1 億多美元。

They parked Laurel Condo in New York City in a townhouse.

他們把勞雷爾公寓停在紐約市的一棟聯排別墅裡。

Assets that kleptocrats and other corrupt officials steal.

貪官和其他腐敗官員竊取的資產。

Fire transfers totaling approximately $64 million.

消防轉賬總額約為 6400 萬美元。

Funds were used to acquire nearly $100 million.

資金用於購置近 1 億美元的設備。

People were defrauded on an enormous scale.

Schemes whose tentacles reached around the world.

In February 2013, I started an investigation into illicit money flow coming into the United States.

2013 年 2 月，我開始調查流入美國的非法資金。

The money was coming into high-end real estate, and it was coming through shell companies where the owners could be hidden.

這些錢都流入了高端房地產，而且是通過空殼公司流入的，業主可以隱藏起來。

I decided to focus on the Time Warner Center.

我決定把重點放在時代華納中心。

It's an iconic building of a much more global phenomenon.

它是一個全球性現象的標誌性建築。

A lot of the money the very rich have is invisible.

This is really the starting point for the story.

This deed for 80 Columbus Circle, Time Warner Center, penthouse 76B.

此房契為時代華納中心哥倫布圓環 80 號頂層 76B 室的房契。

The owner, 80 Columbus Circle, parentheses, NYC, LLC.

業主為 80 Columbus Circle，括號內為 NYC, LLC。

After Time Warner Center, I looked for shell company names in this same format.

在時代華納中心之後，我又以同樣的格式查找了空殼公司的名稱。

地址、括號、城市、有限責任公司。

括號內為紐約市有限責任公司。

Park Laurel，括號內為紐約市，有限公司。

The buyer is Sorsom Investments, Inc., another shell company, signed by sole director of Sorsom Investments, named Reza Aziz.

買方是另一家空殼公司 Sorsom Investments, Inc.，由 Sorsom Investments 的唯一董事 Reza Aziz 簽字。

Once I saw the name, Reza Aziz, I looked him up, and it was pretty easy to see that he was running Red Granite Picture and that he was in the process of producing Wolf of Wall Street.

我一看到雷扎-阿齊茲這個名字，就查了他的資料，很容易就知道他在經營紅色花崗岩影業，而且正在製作《華爾街之狼》。

The year I turned 26, I made $49 million, which really pissed me off because it was three shy of a million a week.

在我 26 歲的那一年，我賺了 4900 萬美元，這讓我非常生氣，因為一週的收入還差 300 萬美元。

The Wolf of Wall Street's based on Jordan Belford, a very charismatic, smart individual who set up a firm and stole money.

華爾街之狼》的原型是喬丹-貝爾福德，一個非常有魅力、聰明的人，他成立了一家公司並偷了錢。

Nobody knows if the stock is going to go up, down, sideways, or in circles.

沒有人知道股票會上漲、下跌、橫盤還是轉圈。

He wired the money around the world as part of a disguise to hide it and then used that money to acquire great wealth and toys that come with it.

為了掩人耳目，他把錢匯到世界各地，然後用這些錢獲得鉅額財富和隨之而來的玩具。

The parallels between the Wolf of Wall Street story and Red Granite story, they're actually pretty stunning.

華爾街之狼 "的故事與 "紅色花崗岩 "的故事有異曲同工之妙。

It really is a very strange turn of events.

This was an incredibly hard film to get financed from the onset.

這部電影從一開始就很難獲得融資。

Not many studios are chomping at the bit to do an American epic with Wall Street in the title, let alone this sort of focus on hedonism and debauchery and excess.

沒有多少電影公司願意拍攝一部以《華爾街》為名的美國史詩片，更不用說這種以享樂主義、放蕩和過度為主題的影片了。

And for that reason, I'm thankful to the people that we ran into in Red Granite that were willing to take a gamble on making a very adult American epic about the state of our culture.

為此，我非常感謝《紅色花崗岩》的製作團隊，他們願意冒險拍攝一部關於美國文化現狀的成人史詩。

我們非常激動，非常非常激動。

Riza Aziz was a mid-level banker at HSBC.

裡扎-阿齊茲曾是匯豐銀行的一名中級銀行家。

This was not a high-level person who would have made tens of millions of dollars that you would need to see these movies.

這不是一個賺了幾千萬美元的高層人士，你不需要看這些電影。

And Joey McFarlane, his partner at Red Granite, was from Kentucky, had had some random real estate deals in the Midwest, and then had worked as a broker for a company in the Midwest, and then had worked as a talent broker.

喬伊-麥克法蘭是他在紅花崗岩公司的合夥人，來自肯塔基州，曾在中西部做過一些房地產交易，然後在中西部的一家公司擔任經紀人，後來又做過人才中介。

But again, not someone who was coming with tens of millions of dollars needed to see the movie.

但同樣，並不是有人帶著數千萬美元來看這部電影。

I started talking to a number of different sources in Hollywood about Red Granite.

我開始與好萊塢的一些不同人士討論《紅色花崗岩》。

Who were these guys who had showed up out of nowhere, really?

這些突然出現的傢伙到底是誰？

A Hollywood source played for me a secret recording of Joey back from 2011, talking about Red Granite.

一位好萊塢消息人士為我播放了喬伊 2011 年的一段祕密錄音，其中談到了紅色花崗岩。

Once this ball gets rolling, if this first picture makes money and shows them what we're capable of, and the first launch party, the premiere party, all the red carpet bullshit that goes along with this is going to be the biggest business I do all year, because I'm going to be fucking inviting the goddamn forensics out of Arabia.

如果第一部電影賺了錢，讓他們看到了我們的能力，那麼第一場發佈會、首映式、所有紅地毯上的狗屁活動，都會成為我今年最大的生意，因為我要把阿拉伯的法醫都請來。

It showed that Joey had a lot of self-confidence and belief in his ability to get people big money to do what he wanted.

這表明，喬伊非常自信，相信自己有能力讓別人花大錢做自己想做的事。

It also gave me some insight into Rizzo's family.

這也讓我對裡佐的家庭有了一些瞭解。

If we fucking have a killer in two years, we'll be one of the biggest companies in the world.

如果我們能在兩年內找到殺手鐗，我們將成為世界上最大的公司之一。

You don't realize the people that I have behind me.

Matthew! Matthew, please help me, please!

I was there at the Wolf of Wall Street premiere after party.

我參加了《華爾街之狼》首映式的餘興派對。

Rizzo was just out with the rest of the guests, sitting on a banquette.

裡佐剛剛和其他客人一起出來，坐在一張長椅上。

He had a tall, beautiful blonde woman accompanying him, not acting like he was the center of the action.

他身邊有一位高挑漂亮的金髮女郎相伴，並沒有表現出他是活動中心的樣子。

萊昂納多-迪卡普里奧在貴賓區。

And there was a man there with Leonardo DiCaprio.

還有一個人和萊昂納多-迪卡普里奧在一起。

And they said, oh, he's a really rich man.

他們說，哦，他真是個有錢人。

And I said, oh, well, how did he make his money?

我說，哦，那他是怎麼賺錢的？

And they said, we're not sure, but he's the man behind all the money.

他們說，我們不確定，但他是所有錢的幕後黑手。

A very easy, quick Google search brought up the mysterious, mysterious, big spender of New York.

只需在谷歌上進行簡單快速的搜索，就能找到這個神祕莫測、大手大腳的紐約人。

And he had been covered a few years prior in the New York Post for spending so much money in the club scene.

幾年前，《紐約郵報》曾報道過他在夜總會大肆揮霍。

He was very sought after by every club owner.

他受到每個俱樂部老闆的追捧。

Just one bottle after the next, after the next.

Everyone was trying to woo him and be his best friend.

每個人都想追求他，成為他最好的朋友。
