MGM announced that the large sum of money does sign director Christopher? Nowland. Moreover this is a length makes, ten years, ten movies, what with is the basic salary + box office drawing bonus pattern. 美高梅宣布,重金签下导演克里斯托弗?诺兰。而且这是一份长约,十年,十部电影,采用的是底薪+票房分红模式。 At once, all people were shocked. 一时之间,所有人都惊呆了。 What they are most surprised, who is this Nowland? 他们最惊讶的是,这个诺兰是谁？ This time Nowland or the young director of legal proceeding, or the newcomer director who changes professions from the photograph, screenwriter and actor. Perhaps everybody to his impression, has «Memory Fragment», this is a box office echo average movie, likely is not the commercial film, likely is not the literary film. 此时的诺兰还是籍籍无名的小导演,或者说是从摄像、编剧、演员转行的新锐导演。大家对他的印象,或许只有一部《记忆碎片》,这是一部票房反响平平的电影,既不像是商业片,也不像是文艺片。 Must say in the near future within, some Nowland other movements, for example he is the cartoon movie «Batman» director, but this movie, decides the files this summer, is the Time Warner Corporation investment. 要说近期之内,诺兰还是有一些其他动作的,比如他是漫画电影《蝙蝠侠》的导演,而这部电影,定档今年暑期,是时代华纳公司投资的。 Normally MGM has signed this newcomer director, bets his future, should not give the so rich condition. Can attain the box office to draw bonus, that must be the commercial successful director, is Spielberg, Cameron such? 按说就算美高梅签下了这位新锐导演,赌他的未来,也不该给如此丰厚的条件啊。能拿到票房分红的,那都得是商业大导演,得是斯皮尔伯格,卡梅隆那样的吧？ Moreover ten years ten movies, this too high production, MGM has not directed, is some Hollywood also many success directors, to have chosen how such one? 而且十年十部电影,这也太高产了,美高梅是不是没有导演了,可是好莱坞还有很多成功导演呢,怎么就选择了这么一位？ Nowland is a director who Feng Yu likes very much, previous generation Nowland carefully, gradually the throne of reaching world top successful director. A most important point, Nowland's movie implants, the trace, is effective. 诺兰是冯宇很喜欢的一位导演,前世诺兰一步一个脚印,逐渐登顶世界顶尖大导演的宝座。最重要的一点,诺兰的电影植入,不着痕迹,偏偏又非常有效。 The movie wants to make money, implantation is effective means. But if implants the trace to be extremely serious, will affect the view shade experience. 电影想要赚钱,植入是一个行之有效的办法。但若是植入痕迹太过严重,会非常影响观影体验。 Moreover Nowland films the heroic movie to be good, although the dc cartoon is Warner, the opposite party bit to death has not sold, but Marvel had not said that not necessarily did not sell, and before this time Marvel movie did not have the Feng Yu previous generation rebirth, fiery/popular, could little spend money, can the Marvel income subordinates. 而且诺兰拍摄英雄电影非常不错,虽然dc漫画属于华纳,对方咬死了不卖,但是漫威可没说不一定不卖,并且此时的漫威电影还没有冯宇前世重生前那么火爆呢,或许可以少花一些钱,就能将漫威收入麾下。 But Marvel income subordinates, not only also the advantage of reorganization movie. Wind & Rain Games, can reorganize the game it, definitely also will have many income. Cartoon the publication of again, the animated cartoon, the cartoon puppet, the clothing and other peripheral can also develop, these are the money. 而漫威收入麾下,还不只是改编电影的好处。风雨游戏,可以将其改编成游戏,肯定也会有不少收入。漫画的重新出版,动画片,卡通玩偶,服装等周边也可以开发出来,这些都是钱啊。 Many people thought that some movie box offices looked obviously have lost money, but why also photographed the sequel? It is not the investor silly x, is not the movie-making Corporation brain is remnant, but was they through peripheral comes back money Zhuan. 很多人都觉得明明有些电影票房一看就赔钱了,但是为什么还拍摄续集呢？不是投资人傻x,也不是制片公司脑残,而是他们通过周边将钱赚回来了。 Possibly the movie has owed several million from the box office, but from peripheral, can actually gain one hundred million. Moreover sequel also advantage, that can lead peripheral fiery/popular, but can also lead the compact disc sale of front movie, attains an income again. 可能电影从票房上亏了几千万,但是从周边,却能赚回来一个亿。而且续集还有一个好处,那就是能带动周边更加的火爆,还能带动前面电影的光盘销售,再获一笔收入。 Therefore many movie Corporation with the actor signs, all of a sudden signs 34 pieces to make, making a person represent a role image, like this they can avoid this actor leaving, causing the sequel not to be accepted by fans, or the actor salary rises suddenly, affects their movie-making costs. 所以很多电影公司跟演员签约的时候,都是一下子签下34部的片约,让一个人代表了一个角色形象,这样他们就能避免这个演员出走,导致续集不被粉丝接受,或者说演员片酬暴涨,影响他们的制片成本。 Reason that Feng Yu made MGM give Nowland the so rich treatment, was for fear that Nowland is poached, was poached by Warner, after all at this time Nowland was just about to screen to Batman of Warner photography, if after screening , the reputation was good, the box office was high, then Warner definitely will request Nowland to photograph the sequel. 冯宇之所以让美高梅给了诺兰如此丰厚的待遇,就是生怕诺兰被挖走,被华纳挖走,毕竟此时诺兰给华纳拍摄的蝙蝠侠正要上映呢,如果上映后口碑好,票房高,那么华纳必然会要求诺兰拍摄续集。 What a pity Warner at this time gives Nowland is the fixed salary, has no way to compare with MGM completely. Although said that the box office draws bonus also has the risk, Nowland can only take net profit(s) Run's drawing bonus, is the box office subtracts the movie-making cost three times, the surplus money are the profits in box office. 可惜华纳此时给予诺兰的就是固定薪酬,跟美高梅这边完全没法比。虽然说票房分红也是有风险的,诺兰只能拿纯利润的分红,也就是票房减去制片成本的三倍,剩余的钱就是票房上的利润。 But this condition, is nobody gives Nowland at this time this not famous director. 可这个条件,此时也是没人给诺兰这种不出名的导演的。 Let alone, at that time Nowland before MGM signed, but also obtained a news, Cameron must fight the commercial movie again, but MGM first threw the olive branch. 更何况,当时诺兰在与美高梅签约之前,还得到了一个消息,卡梅隆又要再战商业电影,而美高梅第一个抛去了橄榄枝。 For these years Cameron has been filming documentary film, many people invited him to continue pat the end matter, had been rejected by Cameron, because of his script, nearly ten years, nobody is willing to invest. 这几年卡梅隆一直在拍摄纪录片,很多人邀请他续拍终结者,都被卡梅隆拒绝了,因为他心里有一个剧本,快十年了,还是没人愿意投资。 This is he before RMS Titanic screens the script that writes, he thinks by the RMS Titanic unequalled box office, he should be able to obtain a large amount investment. 这是他在泰坦尼克号上映前就写好的剧本,原本他以为凭借泰坦尼克号无与伦比的票房,他应该能得到一笔巨额的投资。 However these Corporation to Cameron's the photography and manufacture speed are extremely discontented, because Cameron said that this movie he plans to complete with five to eight years, will create the masterpiece of movie history once more. 但是那些公司都对卡梅隆的拍摄、制作速度非常不满,因为卡梅隆说这部电影他计划用五到八年时间来完成,将会是再次创造电影史的巨作。 Five to eight years, nobody is willing to invest, particularly Cameron takes three hundred million US dollars expenses. How many box offices when the time comes wants, can come back money Zhuan? Even if calculates according to five years, 300 million US dollars after the inflation, how many can turn into? If these 300 million US dollars invest other movies, most little can film 35 big manufacture commercial movies, how much money can that make? 五到八年时间,没人愿意投资,尤其是卡梅隆要三个亿美元的费用。到时候要多少票房,才能把钱赚回来？就算按照五年计算,300000000美元经过通货膨胀,要变成多少？如果这300000000美元投资其他电影,最少能拍摄35部大制作商业电影了吧,那得赚多少钱？ Therefore although Cameron wins great reputation, becomes in the 21 st century one of the most outstanding 20 successful directors, has the box office to record, can't attain the investment? 所以卡梅隆虽然名声在外,被成为二十一世纪最杰出的20大导演之一,拥有着票房纪录,还是拿不到投资？ However this was different, MGM is not short of money, or the Wind & Rain Holding Company group is not short of money, is willing to invest, didn't this fit in easily? 但是这回不同了,美高梅不差钱,或者说风雨控股集团不差钱,愿意投资,这不就一拍即合了吗？ Especially Cameron pledged, when photographs movie «Avatar» in this dream, he will shoot «End matter» again, supports the photography of «Avatar» with the profit of this movie. 尤其是卡梅隆承诺,在拍摄这部梦想中的电影《阿凡达》的时候,他会再拍一部《终结者》,用这部电影的利润来支持《阿凡达》的拍摄。 Especially Cameron hopes that photographs into a series «Avatar», like end matter and Star War becomes the series movie, this also won the approval of MGM. 尤其是卡梅隆希望将《阿凡达》拍摄成为一个系列,像终结者、星球大战一样的成为系列电影,这点也得到了美高梅的赞同。 So long as first has succeeded, then becomes a series, can make more money, serves the MGM benefit. 只要第一部成功了,那么成为一个系列,就能赚更多的钱,也符合美高梅的利益。 Actually the MGM internal person opposed that but Ralph following the opinion of Feng Yu, the powerful has pressed getting down opposing opinion, Corporation is the Wind & Rain Holding Company group decides, we said the investment, that invests! 其实美高梅内部的人是非常反对的,但是拉尔夫遵照冯宇的意见,强势压了下去反对意见,公司是风雨控股集团说了算,我们说投资,那就投资！ It is not money, the bank loan cannot get away, can according to the bank interest rate from the Wind & Rain Holding Company group loan. 不就是钱么,银行贷款走不了,可以按照银行利率从风雨控股集团借款。 Not only this can get the interests in money, can use movie Corporation, affects the US in the culture, or is the counter- invasion. 这个不只是能够获得金钱上的利益,更可以利用电影公司,在文化上对米国进行影响,或者说是反入侵。 The US has used since their movies and other cultural products, outputs their values, or is the values that they want to make others observe. 一直以来,米国都用他们的电影等文化产品,输出他们的价值观,或者说是他们想让别人遵守的价值观。 Why then cannot in turn, let the cultural reverse invasion, affects the values of American? 那么为什么就不能反过来,让文化反向入侵,来影响米国人的价值观呢？ So-called commercial film the US, pays great attention is regards the effect, the plot wants simply straightforward, explicit master lines. This master line can be the love, can reward virtue and punish vice, can be the revenge, but can also be the evil opposition. 在米国这边所谓的商业片,注重的就是视效,剧情要简单直白,有一条明确的主线。这条主线可以是爱情,可以是惩恶扬善,可以是复仇,还可以是正邪对立。 Whatever, the plot wants the simple and crude, must let most people to understand with ease. Like the Feng Yu previous generation the profound imaginary novel that on internet/network reads, making people feel crisply on the line. 无论怎么样,剧情要简单粗暴一些,要让大部分人都能轻松看懂。就像冯宇前世在网络上看的玄幻小说一样,让人感觉爽就行了。 But in this simple crispness, highlighted universal values to be good. 而在这简单的爽中,凸显出一种普世的价值观就好了。 After having signed these two directors, one side Feng Yu plans to see with two personally, corrects their some wrong ideas, what letting them to be quicker is Corporation made money. 签下了这两位导演后,冯宇打算亲自跟二位见一面,纠正他们的一些错误想法,让他们能更快的为公司赚到钱。 ......( To be continued.) ……(未完待续。)
