一杯咖啡价值25万美金是什么梗?
这部HBO出品的奇幻史诗剧是目前制作规模最大、投资成本最多、收视率最好,同时也是被盗版次数最多的美剧。
《权游》创下的纪录,恐怕也只有它自己可以打破:
Facebook和Twitter上话题和讨论最多的美剧
平均每季烂番茄新鲜度达到95%以上
豆瓣评分均在9.3分以上
HBO收视率最高的剧集
收获了史上最多的艾美奖(61项提名,31项获奖)
……
4月14日,大家期待2年的《权游》第八季终于开播。
据悉《权游》第八季单集制作成本高达1500万美元。
超过1700万观众收看了《权力的游戏》第八季、同时也是最后一季的首播。
More than 17 million people tuned in to watch the premiere of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones.
此次首播也被收入吉尼斯世界纪录,被认证为“全球最受欢迎的剧集首播”( the most in-demand TV premiere)。
不过在第八季第4集中的某个画面中,有细心的外国网友发现,在女主人“龙母”丹妮莉丝(Daenerys Targaryen)的桌前,居然出现了一个很显眼的咖啡杯。
穿帮画面的截图瞬间在网络疯传,成了社交媒体的热门话题,网友纷纷调侃。
有网友不满,“让粉丝苦等2年拍出来的电视剧,结果你们连星巴克的杯子都没发现?”
有网友调侃,“其实这不是星巴克杯,它是临冬城的咖啡连锁品牌——‘恐怖杯’”。
有人还PS了一个龙妈的星巴克签名杯,可以看到她的头衔太长,杯子似乎写不下。
也有网友调侃这个绝妙的广告植入(product placement)。
HBO半开玩笑地回应:"这一集出现拿铁是一个失误,丹妮莉丝点的其实是一杯草本茶。
HBO issued this tongue in cheek reply: “The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.”
tongue in cheek本义“将舌头塞在脸颊处”,是用以表示轻视的行为,引申为说话不认真、只是开玩笑、或语带讥讽。
当然星巴克也不忘借此机会,给自己的饮料打个广告。
“很惊讶于龙妈居然没点一杯Dragon Drink。”
有趣的是,华尔街日报昨晚证实,这个咖啡杯并非来自星巴克,它实际上来自于剧组的配餐服务,而不是流行的咖啡连锁店。

背景音乐:Game Of Thrones
CNN:
What's this? Oh, just a coffee cup. A coffee cup on a table in the great hall of Winterfell in the fictional, very coffee-less realm of Westeros.
Sharp-eyed viewers noticed the anachronism during Sunday night's episode of "Game of Thrones," and, well, it's going to be a long time before anyone lets this mistake go.

HBO has released a tongue-in-cheek statement in response to the huge blunder that appeared in the most recent episode of Game of Thrones.
Social media erupted when eagle-eyed fans spotted a takeaway coffee cup sitting on a table in one of the scenes.
The New York Times:
“Game of Thrones” is one of the most expensive and elaborately produced television shows ever. And yet.
During Sunday night’s episode, a disposable coffee cup could briefly be seen sitting on a table at Winterfell. The modern-day item was jarringly out of place amid candlelit chandeliers and goblets of Dornish wine.
