BIG将与演员罗伯特·德·尼罗（Robert De Niro）的合伙公司合作，在纽约皇后区阿斯托里亚建造一座价值4亿美元的电影工厂“野花工作室”。目前，该方案已经赢得了社区的支持。

A firm co-owned by actor Robert De Niro has won key community support to open a new $400 million film studio complex in Astoria, Queens.

“野花工作室”是从隔壁施坦威钢琴公司购得第19大道15-35号房产。据悉，施坦威已在这里经营了150年，并将继续在这运营。而“野花工作室”的落成也将成为当代娱乐生活碰撞19至20世纪音乐的跨界范例。

Wildflower purchased the property at 35-15 19th Avenue from the Steinway Piano company, which will remain next door. This is the 150th year of Steinway Pianos manufactured on the same lot and the arrival of Wildflower will provide an example of 19th and 20th century musical entertainment sharing space with 21st century entertainment, city sources said.

这座七层高的综合体将包含11座舞台、310个街边停车位及一个滨海公共广场，总面积达6.64万平方米。

The seven-story studio complex will total 715,000 square feet and include 11 sound stages, 310 "off-street" parking spaces, and a waterfront esplanade open to the public.

野花工作室官网称，美国东海岸需要有这样一座尖端数字娱乐综合体。“纽约浓厚的文化、艺术氛围能够为数字娱乐提供成长沃土。然而，这座城市缺乏像洛杉矶那样长期经营的综合性设施，也缺乏能够容纳这些设施的宽阔场地。”

Wildflower, in a statement on its website, said a cutting edge, digital entertainment studio complex is needed on the East Coast. "New York's cultural and artistic depth is a natural fit for the expansive possibilities of digital-era entertainment. However, the city lacks both the permanent, full-scale production facilities built-up over the years in Los Angeles and the sprawling landscape on which to build them," the firm said.

“为应对这一挑战，野花工作室旨在建设电影制作垂直村庄。项目由BIG设计、与罗伯特·德·尼罗合作开发，将在皇后区打造出一座融合好莱坞工作室风格与最新数字制作技术的多层次制片园区。同时，工作室也将借鉴Adam Gordon超过30年的地产开发经验，解决用地难题。”

"Wildflower's solution: a vertical village for film production. Designed by architect Bjarke Ingels and developed in partnership with lifelong New Yorker Robert De Niro, the multi-level Queens campus will combine the collaborative potential of a Hollywood-style studio with the latest in digital production capability. Wildflower Studios exemplifies Gordon's approach towards development, evolved over three decades of experience solving real estate puzzles."

基于法律要求，纽约市土地使用必须经过审查。而在第19大道近卢斯特湾处建造野花工作室的方案获得了区域委员会的压倒性支持。皇后区主席多诺万·理查兹（Donovan Richards）坚定地支持这一项目，称“毫无疑问，它能够带动就业。”

Community Board 1 gave overwhelming approval for Wildflower Studios LTD to open on 19th Avenue near Luyster Creek as part of the cit's legally required land use review. Queens Borough President Donovan Richards also told The Post he backs the De Niro-influenced studio. "It's a job producer. It's a no-brainer," Richards said.

由于政治及地区原因，两年前亚马逊撤销了其在长岛市新建大型东岸总部的计划。这使得野花工作室的建造备受欢迎。“我们希望能为居民提供更多本地工作机会”，区域委员会执行董事弗洛伦斯·库洛里斯（Florence Koulouris）说明道。

The new studio is welcomed following the Amazon debacle two years ago. The e-retail giant withdrew its plan to build a massive new East Coast headquarters in Long Island City following some political and community opposition. CB1 Executive Director Florence Koulouris said, "It's local jobs. The more local jobs for the community, the better."

野花工作室的执行合伙人亚当·戈登（Adam Gordon）称，“我们很高兴能赢得区域委员会的支持。两年后，一座影视园将拔地而起，为当地带来长效就业机会，同时也服务于纽约创意与文化社区的建设。”

Adam Gordon, managing partner of Wildflower Studios said, "We are thrilled to have earned the support of the community board. In two years Astoria will have a film studio campus creating new long term jobs and growing NYC's vibrant creative and cultural community."

按照计划，野花工作室将与NYCHA项目（包含Queensbridge、Astoria Houses、Woodside和Ravenswood等公租房社区）合作，为低收入群体创造工作机会。工作室也致力于为阿斯托里亚乃至西皇后区的高中生、中专生及大学生提供交流机会。此外，这一项目也将促进当地交通条件的改善，增强沿卢斯特湾行驶车辆的安全性。

According to the plan submitted to the city, Wildflower will conduct outreach to the nearby NYCHA projects — Queensbridge, Astoria Houses, Woodside, and Ravenswood — to create job opportunities for low-income residents. Wildflower also is working to create exchange programs for high school, trade school and college students in Astoria and greater Western Queens. The project will also include traffic improvements to prevent cars from running into Luyster Creek.
