Nicole puts down the menu in hand, some doubts, asked: „Also whose strategic place mysterious?” 妮可放下手中的菜单,有些疑惑,问道:“还有谁要冲奥啊？” „Julia recently in preparing a bioflavonoid, according to the arrangement progress, met at the beginning of next year shoots probably, at the end of next year screens,” Eric did not cover conceals the truth, explaining, looked to script in hand. “茱莉亚最近在准备一部传记片,按照筹备进度,大概会明年初拍摄,明年年底上映,”艾瑞克也不掩瞒,解释着,又看向手中的剧本。 The script title page writes two words, «Moulin-Rouge», translates, is «Moulin Rouge» that the successor is familiar. Even if absolutely does not have any interest person to the musical film, very difficult not to Nicole in this movie but certainly generation of grace and talents the impression is profound. 剧本封面写着两个单词,《Moulin-Rouge》,翻译起来,就是后来人耳熟能详的《红磨坊》。即使是对歌舞片完全没有任何兴趣的人,也很难不对妮可在这部影片中的绝代风华而印象深刻。 Eric naturally has looked at «Moulin Rouge», this movie gives his feeling is the plot is ordinary, even some conventions, but in the movie the Nicole beautiful actually inverts all living things. Once Nicole in the 90's, even if there is Tom wife's status, actually the fame was not too big. Many people through «Moulin Rouge», know that has this kind of Hollywood star, named Nicole Kidman. 艾瑞克自然看过《红磨坊》,这部影片给他的感觉就是剧情一般,甚至有些俗套,但影片中妮可的美却是颠倒众生。曾经的妮可在九十年代,即使有着阿汤哥妻子的身份,其实名气也并不算太大。很多人正是通过《红磨坊》,才知道有这样一位好莱坞女星,名叫妮可・基德曼。 Hearing is Julia, the Nicole corners of the mouth is bringing somewhat strange smiling, said: „I do not struggle with her, hehe. Actually, I have not thought any Oscar matter, but is interested in this theme comparison, Petheo also suggested that I try some new things. Moreover, this script investor did not have the whereabouts, therefore I bring to give you to look. screenwriter Baz is our Australian, he rushed to the Nevada «The Mummy 3» squares last week personally and I discussed that this script, hopes that I can participate.” 听到是茱莉亚,妮可嘴角带着浅浅的有些古怪的笑,道:“那我可不和她争,呵呵。其实,我都还没想过什么奥斯卡的事情呢,只是对这个题材比较感兴趣,派特也建议我尝试一些新的东西。而且,这个剧本的投资方也还没有着落,所以我才拿来给你看啊。编剧巴兹・鲁曼是我们澳洲人,他上个星期亲自赶到内华达州《木乃伊3》片场和我谈这个剧本,希望我能参与。” The Hollywood Australia helps quite to be low-key, not having United Kingdom to help Actor be bright to the voice universal characteristics from the individuality, but, this small group also quite sticks together, 好莱坞的澳洲帮一直都比较低调,没有英国帮演员从个性到口音都普遍特色鲜明,不过,这个小圈子也颇为抱团, Biggest supporter who the Hollywood Australia helps, actually should be 20th Century Fox of News Corp. Many Australian Director and Actor adopt the 20th Century Fox movie to be budding. Baz who Nicole said at this time is a typical example. 只是,好莱坞澳洲帮的最大支持者,其实应该是新闻集团旗下的二十世纪福克斯。很多澳洲导演和演员都是通过二十世纪福克斯旗下影片崭露头角的。妮可此时所说的巴兹・鲁曼就是一个典型例子。 A few years ago, Baz infiltrated Hollywood first part work «Romeo And Juliet», produced the side is 20th Century Fox. «Romeo And Juliet of» once actor this modern version was the small plum, because being ahead of time of «RMS Titanic», the actor changed players, but Box Office of movie was as before good. 几年前,巴兹・鲁曼打入好莱坞的第一部作品《罗密欧与朱丽叶》,出品方就是二十世纪福克斯。这部现代版的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》曾经的男主角是小李子,只是由于《泰坦尼克号》的提前,男主角换了人,但影片的票房依旧不错。 Once historical, Baz consecutively several movie constructors are 20th Century Fox, rests Jack, Nicole that with Australia came Kidman and other Actor had very frequent cooperation. 曾经的历史上,巴兹・鲁曼连续几部影片制作方都是二十世纪福克斯,同时也和澳洲出身的休・杰克曼、妮可・基德曼等演员有过非常频繁的合作。 Eric opened script to look at two pages, heard the explanation of Nicole, asked: „Baz previous work «Romeo And Juliet» Box Office is very as if good, I remember exactly the movie is the Fox manufacture. Baz how doesn't this time look for the Fox cooperation?” 艾瑞克翻开剧本看了两页,听到妮可的解释,问道:“巴兹・鲁曼的上一部作品《罗密欧与朱丽叶》票房似乎很不错,我恰好记得影片是福克斯制作的。巴兹・鲁曼这次怎么不找福克斯合作？” „Naturally has discussed that because this is a musical film, moreover does not have the original musical film of Broadway popularity foundation, therefore the Fox interest is not big. Musical film that on Hollywood Box Office sells greatly, em...... I suddenly can only think that 1978 «Grease», that was the 20 years ago matters.” Nicole is slightly crooked the head to think, adds: „Moreover, Baz needs the investment of 60 million USD, this should also be the reason that Fox is not willing to accept this project.” “当然谈过了,只是因为这是一部歌舞片,而且还是没有百老汇人气基础的原创歌舞片,所以福克斯的兴趣不大。好莱坞上一部票房大卖的歌舞片,恩……我一时间就只能想到1978年的《火爆浪子》,那可是20年前的事情了。”妮可微微歪着脑袋想了想,又补充道:“而且,巴兹・鲁曼需要6000万美元的投资,这应该也是福克斯不愿意接受这个项目的原因。” Eric remembers that once the «Moulin Rouge» opening factory sign was marking of Fox, but now, the Fox filmmaking department is responsible for by Elizabeth, many situations had the change. 艾瑞克记得曾经《红磨坊》的开头厂标就是福克斯的标识,不过现在,福克斯的电影制作部门由伊丽莎白负责,很多情况都发生了变化。 Has considered the moment, although had the conclusion at heart, Eric is impossible to nod at this time immediately, but said: „I have a look at script first, if thought that good chats with Leeds, continuation makes Fox invest, I do not want by her to be complained again always snatches the project from Fox. If the incorrect words, you can only let Baz drew has invested, but, so long as you nodded the alliance, I think that Baz found the possibility of investor to be very big.” 考虑了片刻,虽然心里已经有了定论,艾瑞克此时却不可能立刻点头,而是说道:“那我先看看剧本,如果觉得不错就和利兹聊聊,继续让福克斯投资,我可不想再被她埋怨总是从福克斯手里抢项目。如果不行的话,你就只能让巴兹・鲁曼自己去拉投资了,不过,只要你点头加盟,我想巴兹・鲁曼找到投资方的可能性很大。” Hollywood many projects first accumulate to act the leading role in the lineup to draw the investment again, if can attain a superstar participating performance contract, Producer can lobby Film Studio to invest easily, or directly through selling in advance distribution rights collection manufacture fund. 好莱坞的很多项目都是先攒主演阵容再拉投资,如果能够拿到一线巨星的参演合约,制作人就可以轻易游说电影公司进行投资,又或者直接通过预售发行权筹集制作资金。 Has «The Mummy» series approaching body that global sells greatly, in addition in the past the Box Office successes of these movies, Nicole now absolutely can be Hollywood most has the star of Box Office rallying point, even is stronger than Julia. She nods to indicate Film Studio that the project that is interested, Hollywood is willing to invest thinks big. 有着一个全球大卖的《木乃伊》系列傍身,再加上以往那些影片的票房战绩,妮可现在绝对可以算是好莱坞最具票房号召力的女星,甚至比茱莉亚还强一些。她点头表示感兴趣的项目,好莱坞愿意投资的电影公司觉得一大把。 Nicole hears word nods saying: „Good, but, this script is not actually splendid, what I compare the appreciation is Baz described shoots that to devise that he hopes showed this story with a very magnificent wanton and luxurious living image style, therefore, you had better be able pull out the time and Baz chatted personally.” 妮可闻言点头道:“好啊,不过,这个剧本其实并不算出色,我比较欣赏的是巴兹・鲁曼描绘的拍摄构想,他希望用一种非常华丽的纸醉金迷的影像风格将这个故事展现出来,所以,你最好能抽时间和巴兹・鲁曼亲自谈谈。” Eric said with a smile: „Since you like this story so much, I simply directly complied to be OK.” 艾瑞克笑道:“既然你这么喜欢这个故事,那我干脆直接答应下来就可以了。” „Good, you dare to promise me to dare to nod, the salary calls a 10% discount you,” the Nicole corners of the mouth curl upwards, the bright eyes are looking at Eric, said: „But, in this case, your should better not made that side Fox invest, I do not want to lose money accidentally, Leeds was the villain to grip me in secret.” “好啊,你敢答应我就敢点头呢,片酬给你打个九折,”妮可嘴角翘起来,明眸望着艾瑞克,道:“不过,这样的话,你最好不要让福克斯那边投资了,我可不想万一亏损了,利兹私下里做小人扎我。” „Em, I do not think that” Eric made to fear the expression that cracked a joke said. Looked that the attendant carries the lunch to walk, they stop the conversation temporarily, after the opposite party puts down the dinner place leaves, Eric seriously said: „That I looked at script, finds time Baz chats. You, planned how long in Los Angeles to stay?” “恩,我也不想,”艾瑞克做了个怕怕的表情,开玩笑地说道。看侍应生端着午餐走过来,两人暂时停下交谈,等对方放下餐盘离开后,艾瑞克才一本正经道:“那等我看完剧本,抽空约巴兹・鲁曼聊聊。你这边,打算在洛杉矶呆多久？” Nicole now in shoots Universal Pictures «The Mummy 3», and has been a guest performer derivation piece «Scorpion King» of «The Mummy» series, Eric thought that this time point leaves the group, very possible for the «Scorpion King» premiere that next week will soon screen. The «Scorpion King» release date is 17 th, to the present also ten days of time, even if the premiere several days is held ahead of time, some that Nicole as if comes back early. 妮可现在正在拍摄环球影业的《木乃伊3》,而且还客串了《木乃伊》系列的衍生片《蝎子王》,艾瑞克心想她这个时间点离组,很可能是为了下周即将上映的《蝎子王》首映礼。只是《蝎子王》的上映日期是17号,离现在还有十天时间,即使首映礼提前几天举行,妮可似乎回来的有些早了。 Nicole takes up the tableware to cut the beef steak, slightly was stuttering, said: „I only took two days of vacation, tomorrow is one represents the brand shoots plane advertisement, The Day After Tomorrow must return to Nevada.” 妮可拿起餐具切着牛排,小口吃着,道:“我只请了两天假呢,明天为一个代言品牌拍摄平面广告,后天就要回内华达州。” Eric has overcome the psychological barrier secretly, this takes up front knife and fork, said: „I also think that you hurry back for the «Scorpion King» premiere.” 艾瑞克暗自克服了一下心理障碍,这才拿起面前的刀叉,道:“我还以为你是为了《蝎子王》首映礼赶回来呢。” „That, must come back next week again one time, you are not do not know that a dramatic team day must burn how much money, how I possibly leave am so long,” Nicole was saying, sees expression that Eric slightly obviously struggles, has raised own knife and fork with a smile, teased: „Or you use my, has tried Oh poisonously, look, I am fortunately good.” “那个,下周还要再回来一次,你又不是不知道剧组一天要烧多少钱,我怎么可能离开那么久,”妮可说着,见艾瑞克一副略显挣扎的表情,笑着扬了扬自己的刀叉,调侃道:“要不你用我的,试过毒了哦,看,我还好好的。” Eric has cut to front beef steak with a smile, with stylish: „Perhaps is quite special toxicant, I have watched in the Eastern some knight-errant movies, one toxicant named, em, three steps but actually, wait for you to set out, walks three steps, then did not have then.” 艾瑞克笑着向面前的牛排切了下去,同时道:“说不定是比较特别的毒药,我看过东方的一些武侠电影里,有一种毒药名叫,恩,三步倒,等下你起身,走三步,然后就没有然后了。” „Hehe, how possibly to have this type of toxicant, radically unreasonable?” “呵呵,怎么可能有这种毒药,根本就没道理嘛？” „I thought actually some truth, this should be similar to the blood toxoid, like snake venom, after the poison, once moves, the heart beat and blood speed of flow speed up, the toxin outbreak speed also changed quick.” Eric said these, then also said: „Since only comes back for two days, in the afternoon accompanies me in the cinema city, your suggestion helped me solve a very big trouble, perhaps can also help me think that again some good drops, in the evening we returned to Malibu together.” “我倒是觉得有些道理的,这应该和血液类毒素差不多,就像蛇毒,中毒之后,一旦动起来,心脏跳动和血液流速加快,毒素发作速度也就变快了。”艾瑞克说完这些,转而又道:“既然只回来两天,下午在影城陪我吧,你刚才的那个建议可是帮我解决了一个很大的麻烦,说不定还能再帮我想一些好点子,晚上我们一起回马里布。” „This time is not good,” Nicole shakes the head regrettably, said: „Some of other my matters, have not been exactly able to accompany you over the two days.” “这次可不行呢,”妮可遗憾地摇摇头,道:“我恰好还有些其他事情,这两天可不能陪你了。” Eric doubts: „Em?” 艾瑞克疑惑:“恩？” „Is a friend, she came from Japan, wants to develop in Hollywood. In the afternoon I lead her to see Petheo, making Petheo help her arrange manager first, she is my good boudoir honey, if over the two days also had the idle time, naturally must accompany her to be familiar with Los Angeles.” “是一个朋友啊,她从日本过来,想在好莱坞发展。下午我带她去见派特,让派特帮她先安排一个经纪人,她可是我好闺蜜呢,这两天如果还有空闲时间,当然要陪她熟悉一下洛杉矶了。” Eric is more curious: „Do you have the friend of Asian?” 艾瑞克更加好奇:“你还有亚裔的朋友？” Nicole shakes the head, said: „It is not the Asian, she is also an Australian, but has worked for several years in Japan.” 妮可摇摇头,道:“不是亚裔,她也是澳洲人,只是在日本工作了几年。” Eric just by the Nicole belt crooked train of thought that but she spoke of here, Eric responded immediately that the Nicole boudoir honey, that was not Naomi Worts. 艾瑞克刚刚被妮可带歪了思绪,但她说到这里,艾瑞克顿时就反应过来,妮可的闺蜜,那不就是娜奥米・沃茨嘛。 Lowers the head calmly the beef steak, Eric very much at will was saying: „Since is your good boudoir honey, that brings to know.” 不动声色地低头切着牛排,艾瑞克很随意地说道:“既然是你的好闺蜜,那就带过来认识一下啊。” Nicole gently white Eric, said: „I feared that brings to you in front, I and she quickly were not the boudoir honey.” 妮可轻轻白了艾瑞克一眼,道:“我怕带到你面前,我和她很快就不是闺蜜了。” Eric is innocent: „Your this is not good, between person and person most basic trust.” 艾瑞克一脸无辜:“你这样不好,人和人之间最基本的信任呢。” The Nicole expression said spookily: „Wizard believe your this bastard, Jenny these years, but a few words have not said with me.” 妮可语气幽幽道:“鬼才会相信你这混蛋,简妮这些年可是一句话都没和我说过。” Eric does to raise hand immediately the surrender shape: „Good, I am guilty, but, I have turned a new leaf now.” 艾瑞克立刻做举手投降状:“好吧,我有罪,不过,我现在已经改邪归正了。” Nicole lost a supercilious look to come once more, said: „I have not believed that now you will turn a new leaf.” 妮可再次丢了个白眼过来,道:“我现在已经不相信你会改邪归正了。” Their chatted while ate, the Nicole cell phone has made a sound, listening to Nicole to pull down the sound expression to jump for joy Nami Nami to call, Eric 100% have determined the status of some that side girl immediately. 两人正边聊边吃,妮可的手机就响了起来,听着妮可压低声音语气雀跃地娜米娜米地叫着,艾瑞克顿时100确定了那边某位女郎的身份。 A Nicole fire protection security against own appearance, Eric does not dare to raise Naomi again. Worts's matter, waited for Nicole to make the telephone call in a hurry, Eric shifted the topic on own initiative. 只是,妮可一副防火防盗防自己的模样,艾瑞克也就不敢再提娜奥米.沃茨的事情,等妮可匆匆挂了电话,艾瑞克主动转移了话题。 Has had the lunch, delivers Nicole to leave, Eric brings that «Moulin Rouge» script that she is leaving behind returns to the «Gravity» movie studio, starts with Nickel. What Frank as well as rushes to the props masters of dramatic team to discuss in the lamphouse establishes the security rail track is the matter. 吃过午餐,送妮可离开,艾瑞克带着她留下的那份《红磨坊》剧本返回《地心引力》摄影棚,开始与尼克尔.弗兰克以及赶到剧组的道具师讨论在灯箱内设置安全滑轨的是事情。 With Eric compared with the Los Angeles methodical rhythm of life, New York, many person these days moods was similar to the roller coaster. 与艾瑞克在洛杉矶有条不紊的生活节奏相比,纽约,很多人这些天的心情都如同过山车般上上下下。 At the end of June, under the pressure of management resigning en bloc, the Firefly investment company gave up replacing AOL CEO to determine the plan of this company development direction, even completely gave up to impeding of AOL, three director AOL of Firefly system resigning finally completely. 六月底,迫于管理层全体辞职的压力,萤火虫投资公司放弃了撤换美国在线CEO重新确定这家公司发展方向的计划,最后甚至完全放弃了对美国在线的掣肘,萤火虫体系的三位美国在线董事全部辞职。 When a series of advantage good news irritating quality of Steve Case operation, after short shake, the AOL stock price starts to climb once more, closure last Friday closing, the AOL single laid stock price rushed to 281.01 USD, the market value has surpassed 46 100 million. 在史蒂夫.凯斯运作的一系列利好消息刺激性下,短暂的震荡之后,美国在线股价再次开始爬升,截止上周五收盘时,美国在线单股股价已经冲到了281.01美元,市值超过461亿。 On Monday on the same day, in ABC group because of ESPN TV Station CEO Steve.
