面對一波波來勢兇猛的劇透泄密，HBO決定為《權游》拍攝多版結局，從而將懸念留到最后一刻。

HBO has a big plan in place for throwing off would-be leakers intent on revealing the anticipated ending of "Game of Thrones." As the series heads into production for its eighth and final season, HBO programming president Casey Bloys has now said they plan on filming more than one ending.
為了防止《權力的游戲》萬眾矚目的大結局被潛在泄密者劇透，HBO準備放個大招。該劇第八季也是最后一季已經投入制作，HBO節目部負責人凱西?博洛伊斯宣布他們計劃拍攝多個結局。

據《The Morning Call》報道，博洛伊斯在墨瑞維恩學院表示：

"I know 'Game of Thrones,' the ending, they're going to shoot multiple versions so that nobody really know what happens. You have to do that on a long show. Because when you're shooting something, people know. So they're going to shoot multiple versions so that there's no real definitive answer until the end."
“據我所知，《權游》的結尾會拍多個版本，所以沒有人知道真正的劇情。對于一部篇幅很長的電視劇來說，你必須得這么做，因為人們知道你都拍了什么。所以他們打算多拍幾個版本，這樣在謎底揭曉之前就不會有真正確定的答案。”

Nearly all of the major plot points of season seven were posted online for fans to see. Naturally some were concerned that a similar volume of leaks are inevitable for the final installment of "Game of Thrones."
第七季幾乎所有的主要劇情都被發布在網上，劇透給粉絲。因此，自然有人擔心，《權游》最后一季也會不可避免地發生類似規模的劇透。

這些擔心并不是多余的，因為早在上個月，網上就已經流傳出據稱是《權游》第八季劇本的文檔。面對一波波來勢兇猛的劇透，HBO選擇拍攝多版結局，從而將懸念留到最后一刻。

Bloys sounds confident that the multiple fake-outs will throw people off the trail, but it's still very likely that leaks will seep through the cracks. Just for season seven, two full episodes made their way online ahead of the scheduled air dates — one was posted early accidentally by HBO Spain, and another stolen from HBO's India distributor. And that's not even counting the multiple production leaks and on-set videos and photos that were coming out.
博洛伊斯似乎很自信多個版本的假結局能迷惑眾人，但是劇情泄露很可能防不勝防。僅僅就第七季而言，就有兩集完整視頻被提前發布在網上。其中一集是HBO西班牙意外提前發布的，另一集從HBO的印度發行商手中被竊取。而且這還不算眾多的拍攝泄露和外景拍攝時流出的視頻和照片。

對于不希望被劇透的觀眾來說，多版結局的保護措施的確是個好消息，只是希望不要道高一尺魔高一丈。

Other series' have employed similar tactics when it comes to major moments. AMC's "The Walking Dead" filmed several fake death scenes when a major character's fate was left in the balance between seasons.
其他電視劇也曾在關鍵時刻采用過類似招數。AMC電視臺的《行尸走肉》在兩季之間給劇中一位主角的命運留下了懸念，當時他們也曾拍攝多個死亡場景當做障眼法。

在該劇第六季最后一集中，以瑞克?格萊姆斯為首的11位幸存者全部落入尼根之手，被迫在他面前跪成一排，尼根決定殺一儆百，看似隨意地選中一人，將其棒殺。當時各種猜測與分析層出不窮，而制作單位為了保守這個秘密也是煞費苦心。

據媒體透露，制作方為了防止演員或工作人員劇透，每個人都拍了一遍被殺的戲，最后再由導演、制片人和編輯決定用哪個版本。

看過《行尸走肉》的同學們，還記得這一幕最后領便當的是誰嗎？
