今天，我們要討論的是《愛情島》。

轉承詞

And it's not because I knew what a Nicolandria was until yesterday—I didn't—but because

這並不是因為我昨天才知道尼古蘭德里亞是什麼--我並不知道--而是因為

程度副詞

I just found out how they make this thing, and I have to tell you.

我剛知道他們是怎麼做這個東西的，我必須告訴你。

For the uninitiated, Love Island is a reality dating show that takes place in real-time for several weeks, with six new episodes every week—fully edited, complete with music and narration, each coming out barely a day after their scenes happen IRL.

對於新手來說，《愛情島》是一檔實時約會真人秀節目，每週六集，每集都經過完整剪輯，配有音樂和旁白，每集都會在現實場景發生一天後播出。

Love Island USA Season 7 and Survivor Season 50 both filmed in Fiji at the exact same time, and the last of Love Island's 36 episodes aired on July 13th, 2025, while the first of Survivor 50's 15 or so episodes won't air until 2026.

美國愛情島第七季》和《倖存者》第 50 季同時在斐濟拍攝，《愛情島》36 集的最後一集於 2025 年 7 月 13 日播出，而《倖存者》第 50 季 15 集左右的第一集要到 2026 年才播出。

Love Island, in fact, comes out so fast that viewers can vote on what happens to the contestants one night, and see the results play out the very next.

事實上，《愛情島》的播出速度非常快，觀眾可以在前一天晚上投票決定參賽者的命運，第二天就能看到結果。

It's like a real-life The Sims, if The Sims was about building a bunch of horrifyingly beautiful people to sleep in one long, terrifying room.

它就像現實生活中的《模擬人生》，如果《模擬人生》是關於建造一群可怕的美麗的人，讓他們睡在一個又長又可怕的房間裡的話。

是以，它與《模擬人生》一模一樣。

Anyway, we're delving into how the sausage gets edited—all the clever tricks, pre-planning, and round-the-clock and around-the-world processes that bring moments like this to viewers like you.

總之，我們將深入探討香腸是如何被剪輯的--所有巧妙的技巧、事先的策劃、全天候和世界各地的流程，都是為了把這樣的時刻呈現給像你們這樣的觀眾。

This video is going to be about Love Island USA with a hint of the original Love Island.

本視頻將介紹《美國愛島》，並帶有原版《愛島》的影子。

The original airs in the UK, films in Mallorca, Spain, and gets edited in a pop-up production village nearby, sometimes in a field, sometimes in an old concrete factory.

原版在英國播出，在西班牙馬略卡島拍攝，並在附近的一個臨時製作村進行剪輯，有時在田野裡，有時在舊水泥廠裡。

Love Island USA airs in the States and gets filmed and edited here, in Fiji, 19 timezones away.

美國愛島》在美國播出，在斐濟拍攝和剪輯，相隔 19 個時區。

Both franchises use the same narrator who records his voiceovers from the UK.

這兩個特許經營項目使用同一個旁白，他在英國錄製配音。

Fun fact, I auditioned for that, but didn't get the gig because I couldn't say, "'tonight' forebodingly enough.

有趣的是，我曾參加過試鏡，但沒有得到演出機會，因為我說"'今晚'這個詞不夠有預見性。

So, let's travel the production pipeline, the details of which I am piecing together from articles about both the American and British versions.

是以，讓我們來參觀一下生產流水線，其中的細節是我從有關美國版和英國版的文章中拼湊出來的。

Let's take this moment from the last week of Love Island USA season 7, the family visits.

讓我們從《愛島美國》第七季最後一週 "家庭探訪 "的這一時刻開始。

The contestants spend the morning with each other and their families around the villa, which has dozens upon dozens of remote-operated cameras capturing all the footage, and just a few operators controlling them all off-site.

選手們一上午都在別墅裡與家人團聚，別墅裡有幾十臺遙控攝影機拍攝所有畫面，只有幾名操作員在場外控制所有攝影機。

A representative subset of those camera feeds are piped into a big gallery by hordes of story producers, editors, and loggers who turn all that noise into a show as it's happening.

這些攝影機畫面的一個代表性子集會被一大群故事製作人、編輯和記錄員輸送到一個大畫廊，他們會將所有的噪音轉化為正在發生的節目。

Loggers transcribe conversations and store scenes in a searchable database for editors to draw on.

記錄儀記錄對話內容，並將場景存儲在可搜索的數據庫中，供編輯參考。

They tried to get AI to do this, but Accents and MyQuality tripped it up, though that was a few years ago.

他們曾試圖讓人工智能做到這一點，但 Accents 和 MyQuality 使其陷入困境，不過那是幾年前的事了。

Meanwhile, story and edit producers pick what's interesting enough to polish up for the episode.

與此同時，故事和剪輯製作人員會挑選出足夠有趣的內容，在劇集中加以潤色。

So, for example, in this scene, contestant Alandria's mother tells her how the viewers at home liked her with fellow contestant Nick from the beginning.

例如，在這個場景中，選手 Alandria 的母親告訴她，家裡的觀眾從一開始就喜歡她和同組選手 Nick。

Off in the gallery, a story producer saw that and thought it fit nicely into Nick and Alandria's larger narrative, and commissioned editors to cut it into a scene within just 15 minutes of it happening IRL.

在旁聽席上，一位故事製作人看到了這一幕，認為它非常適合尼克和阿蘭德里亞的大敘事，於是委託剪輯師將其剪輯成一個場景，而這個場景就發生在現實中的短短 15 分鐘內。

So in this case, we don't know how long these two chatted, but the editors were probably told what parts of the conversation the story producer liked, and probably had a couple-minute cut of the scene made before the families had even left.

是以，在這種情況下，我們不知道這兩個人聊了多久，但編輯們很可能被告知故事製作人喜歡談話的哪些部分，很可能在這兩個家庭還沒離開之前，就已經剪輯好了幾分鐘的場景。

A team of about 20 producers and 30 editors do this all day, then their scenes go to another team called the stitch team that puts them together into an episode, with weigh-in from executive producers about which scenes are critical to key storylines, and which ones they can cut to make room for more slow-mo shots of people entering rooms.

由大約 20 名製片人和 30 名剪輯師組成的團隊整天都在做這些工作，然後他們的場景會被送到另一個稱為縫合團隊的小組，由執行製片人權衡哪些場景對關鍵故事情節至關重要，哪些場景可以剪掉，以騰出更多空間拍攝人們進入房間的慢鏡頭。

So by the time a day, or the time period covered by a single episode, ends, much of that episode has already been cut together, but that's just the first step in getting the episode out.

是以，當一天或一集所涵蓋的時間段結束時，該集的大部分內容已經剪輯完畢，但這只是推出該集的第一步。

There's still a lot to do before it's ready to air, and it's all happening overnight.

在準備播出之前，還有很多工作要做，而且都是在一夜之間完成的。

Love Island is known for its soundtrack, which, rather than just being generic underscoring, uses a combination of well-known and completely unknown pop songs to add some extra emotional seasoning to their many, many scenes of people sitting, playing, and chatting.

愛情島》以其配樂而聞名，它不只是普通的背景音樂，而是將知名和完全不知名的流行歌曲結合在一起，為人們坐著、玩耍和哈拉的眾多場景增添了一些額外的情感調味料。

But of course, Love Island can't exactly request sync rights in advance because they don't know what's going to happen, or what song they want to use, until the day before they air, so their team works ahead.

當然，《愛樂之島》不可能完全提前申請同步權，因為直到播出前一天，他們都不知道會發生什麼，也不知道想用什麼歌，所以他們的團隊只能提前工作。

Three months before anyone gets to Fiji, the music and clearance team start working with labels to pre-clear hundreds, even thousands of songs to use if the occasion arises.

在所有人抵達斐濟的三個月前，音樂和審核團隊就開始與唱片公司合作，預先審核數百甚至數千首歌曲，以備不時之需。

All those songs get put in a big spreadsheet and tagged with what type of scene they might suit—think romance, argument, or tension.

所有這些歌曲都會被放入一個大的電子表格中，並標明它們可能適合哪種場景--比如浪漫、爭吵或緊張。

On the actual USA edit nights, they clock in around 5 in the morning Fiji time to place the songs and get them officially cleared for the exact moment they're being used.

在美國的實際剪輯之夜，他們會在斐濟時間早上 5 點左右準時到達，以便安排歌曲的位置，併為歌曲的準確使用時間取得官方許可。

A totally different group of people cook up the voiceover.

畫外音是由另一組完全不同的人制作的。

For a normal show, even for this video, the episode gets edited to match the voiceover, but here, there's no time.

對於普通節目來說，即使是這段視頻，也會根據畫外音對劇集進行剪輯，但在這裡，沒有時間了。

Across the planet in the UK, voice of the show Ian Sterling and some writers get on a Zoom call, get shown the rough cut of the episode, and write and record narration to fit in.

在地球另一端的英國，節目配音伊恩-斯特林（Ian Sterling）和幾位編劇通過 Zoom 通話，得到了劇集的大致剪輯，然後撰寫和錄製旁白以適應劇情。

That narration, the music, and other finishing touches get baked into a final cut which gets sent to, for Love Island USA, Peacock's legal department, and Standards and Practices, who confirm that the episode is all above board, and that they didn't say s*** too many times.

旁白、音樂和其他最後的潤色會被剪輯成最終版本，然後送往《愛島之戀》美國版、孔雀法律部門和標準與實踐部門，他們會確認這一集的所有內容都是合法的，而且他們沒有說太多的 "****"。

They have a sliver of time to make any tweaks those teams demand, and then it's showtime.

他們還有一點時間對這些團隊的要求進行調整，然後就是表演時間了。

If all that sounds like a lot to happen in a day, it is.

如果這一切聽起來像是一天之內要發生的很多事情，那確實如此。

Luckily they have a bit more than a day because Fiji is 19 hours ahead of the continental

幸運的是，他們還有一天多一點的時間，因為斐濟比大陸早 19 個小時。

US, buying a few precious hours before their 9pm Eastern airtime rolls around.

美國，在東部時間晚上 9 點播出前爭取寶貴的幾個小時。

And while that's more or less the post-production pipeline happening day in day out to get the people the constant IV drip of Love Island that we so crave, there's also plenty going on behind the scenes in the villa to ensure that the islanders make an episode's worth of good content, on time, every day.

雖然這只是日復一日的後期製作流程，為的是讓人們能持續點播我們渴望已久的《愛島》，但在別墅的幕後還有很多工作要做，以確保島民們每天都能按時製作出一集精彩的內容。

That's the responsibility of another set of producers who have the contestants at their mercy.

這是另一批製片人的責任，他們對參賽者聽之任之。

There's a voice of God PA system throughout the villa that producers use to tell contestants, for example, to stop talking about copyrighted stuff they can't use in the show, or to wake up from the nap they're trying to take, or otherwise ensure that footage from the villa is usable and potentially interesting.

整個別墅裡都有一個 "上帝之音 "擴音系統，製片人會用它來告訴參賽者，比如，不要再談論節目中不能使用的版權內容，或者讓他們從睡夢中醒來，或者確保別墅裡的錄像是可用的，而且可能很有趣。

They also keep the show's format intentionally loose, so if things are getting a bit stale on a given day, they, for example, have a holding villa full of other hot singles they can send into the show to shake things up.

他們還有意讓節目形式保持鬆散，是以，如果某天節目形式變得有點呆板，他們就會有一棟別墅，裡面住滿了其他熱門單身男女，他們可以派這些人参加節目，讓氣氛變得活躍起來。

But perhaps the trickiest way producers maintain control of the islanders and keep them on schedule is by making sure they never know what time it is.

不過，製片人控制島民並讓他們按計劃行事的最棘手方法，也許就是確保他們永遠不知道現在是幾點。

There are no clocks in the villa, and every device that does have a clock on it is set to a different time.

別墅裡沒有時鐘，每個有時鐘的設備都設置了不同的時間。

With no one knowing what time it is, people rarely notice or object when, say, they film a recoupling until four in the morning, and then get woken back up at 930 to make some more content the next day—and I know that from experience.

由於沒有人知道現在是幾點鐘，人們很少會注意到或反對這樣的情況，比如說，他們拍攝一個重新組合的節目直到凌晨四點，然後在第二天 9 點 30 分又被叫醒製作更多的內容--這是我的經驗之談。

My writers crank out these scripts way faster now that I make them live in a sensory deprivation tank.

現在我讓編劇們住在感官剝奪箱裡，他們寫劇本的速度更快了。

All to say, in some ways, Love Island is a plane that gets built in the air.

總而言之，從某種程度上說，《愛情島》就是一架在空中建造的飛機。

It's edited on the fly, with producers making their best guess on what scenes and stories are going to matter long-term, and contestants getting pulled in the direction of good content in a clockless panopticon.

節目是臨時剪輯的，製片人盡最大努力猜測哪些場景和故事會有長遠的影響，而參賽者則在無時鐘的監視下被拉向好內容的方向。

But they also meticulously plan for the chaos such that people in Fiji and England can make a show that airs daily for weeks in the US.

但他們也會精心策劃混亂局面，讓斐濟和英國的人制作出每天在美國播出數週的節目。

And for Love Island UK, it happens on a smaller geographic scale, but also even faster—there's no 19-hour time difference helping them.

而對於《愛島之戀》英國版來說，發生的地理範圍更小，但速度更快--沒有 19 個小時的時差幫助他們。

Making this show is an all-consuming, all-hours endeavor, matched in challenge and required dedication only by the endeavor of watching every episode of this show.

製作這個節目是一項耗時耗力的工作，其挑戰性和所需的奉獻精神只有觀看這個節目的每一集才能與之媲美。

And to all who do either, thank you for your service.
