Firefly cinema city, in the dining room on steamship. 萤火虫影城,大船上的餐厅里。 Amy Pascal and Eric sit near can the window of bird's eye view Mary Anders Erwan together the position, exchanged greetings several, Amy then the first «Charlie's Angels 3» topics that opened the mouth to talk about screen. 艾米・帕斯卡尔和艾瑞克一起坐在可以俯瞰玛丽安德尔湾的窗边位置,寒暄几句,艾米便首先开口聊起了正在上映的《霹雳娇娃3》的话题。 „Eric, I made finance make a simple computation recently. The production cost that «Charlie's Angels 3», we invest is 160 million USD, the announcement budget is 50 million USD, total investment 210 million. However, before screening, Buick and other brand payment of the implantation expenses has brought 4 3 million USD advertizing revenues to us, in the United Kingdom shoots process, we have also attained the 8 million USD tax reimbursement, before this part reflects , the income equals 5 1 million USD.” “艾瑞克,我最近让财务做了一份简单的计算。《霹雳娇娃3》,我们投入的制作费用是1.6亿美元,宣发预算为5000万美元,总投资2.1亿。不过,在上映之前,别克等品牌支付的植入费用就给我们带来了4300万美元的广告收入,英国拍摄过程中,我们还拿到了800万美元的退税,这部分映前收入合计5100万美元。” Here, Amy has stopped, was sizing up the Eric expression carefully, continued saying: „The Box Office aspect, according to the North America 300 million USD overseas 600 million USD computation, is divided into the rule according to general Box Office, we can take back 3 over the next half year probably. About 7.5 billion USD Box Office is divided. Calculates, «Charlie's Angels 3» are only the theater of first stage screens, Metro Goldwyn Mayer can realize the 200 million 16 million USD net profit theoretically.” 说到这里,艾米停顿了一下,小心地打量着艾瑞克的表情,继续道:“票房方面,按照北美3亿美元海外6亿美元计算,根据通行的票房分成规则,我们在未来半年内大概就能够收回3.75亿美元左右的票房分成。计算下来,《霹雳娇娃3》只是第一阶段的影院上映,米高梅理论上就能够实现2亿1600万美元的净利润。” Eric is listening to the Amy words earnestly, when she said that said with a smile: „Were you worried about me like last year?” 艾瑞克认真地听着艾米的话,等她说完,才笑道:“你担心我会像去年那样？” Last year if were not the incident that Pierce Brosnan that manager did makes all people be caught off guard, is very difficult to imagine the result to be what kind. Although had been punctured thoughts by Eric directly, Amy actually very much confidently nods, said: „Eric, I thought that by the Box Office potential that the 《Charlie's Angels》 series displays, we pay some salaries to be worth in the following sequel.” 去年如果不是皮尔斯・布鲁斯南那位经纪人搞出的事端让所有人措手不及,很难想象结局到底会怎样。虽然被艾瑞克直接戳破了心思,艾米却很坦然地点头,道:“艾瑞克,我只是觉得,以《霹雳娇娃》系列表现出来的票房潜力,我们在接下来的续集上多支付一些片酬是非常值得的。” Eric approval nod, in three big series, Metro Goldwyn Mayer and cooperation of 《Charlie's Angels》 three people of groups can be said as smoothest, Eric does not want because again the salary dispute has the too big disturbance: „You should contact with ICM that side, their meanings?” 艾瑞克认可地点头,三大系列中,米高梅与《霹雳娇娃》三人组的合作可以说是最顺利的,艾瑞克也不想再因为片酬争执闹出太大的风波:“你应该和ICM那边接触了吧,她们的意思呢？” Amy said: „Michelle said that their this hopes can obtain one to be divided into the contract, other, we have not talked over thoroughly.” 艾米道:“米歇尔只是说她们这次希望能够得到一份分成合约,其他的,我们还没有深谈。” Eric had doubts the moment, remembers should be Michelle that Amy said Simons, Charlize three people of manager. The opposite party has not put forward the detailed request, obviously does not hope that ICM and good relations between Firefly systems were affected. Reason that ICM can realizes the confrontation among three forces with Hollywood another two big Brokerage Firm Creative Artists Agency and William Morris Agency, completely is Firefly system several big Film Studio the result that spares no effort to support. 艾瑞克疑惑了片刻,才想起艾米说的应该是米歇尔・西蒙斯,查理兹三人的经纪人。对方没有提具体的要求,显然也是不希望ICM和萤火虫体系之间的良好关系受到影响。ICM之所以能够与好莱坞另外两大经纪公司CAA和WMA实现三足鼎立,完全是萤火虫体系几大制片厂不遗余力支持的结果。 That side ICM did not set the request, Eric also somewhat hesitates in making a move. ICM regards as important the good relations with Firefly system, Eric is not one does not read the former friendship person similarly. 只是,ICM那边不主动提出要求,艾瑞克也有些举棋不定起来。ICM看重与萤火虫体系的良好关系,艾瑞克同样不是一个不念旧情的人。 Considered the moment, Eric to ask opposite Amy: „You thought how many salaries we do open to be appropriate?” 考虑了片刻,艾瑞克还是问对面的艾米:“你觉得我们开多少的片酬合适？” Even if past one year, Amy were as before profound to Eric last year strong memory, she has not thought that this Eric will advance on the issue oneself. Gawked a while, Amy said: „Eric, then needs Penny their three participating performance sequel also two, «Charlie's Angels 4» and «Bond 20», I believe that we had better be able sign one to add a pack contract. As for the salary, I think, you make a decision quite appropriately.” 哪怕过去一年时间,艾米依旧对艾瑞克去年的强势记忆深刻,她没想到这次艾瑞克会将问题推到自己身上。愣了一会儿,艾米才说道:“艾瑞克,接下来需要佩妮她们三个参演续集还有两部,《霹雳娇娃4》和《邦德20》,我认为,我们最好能够签署一份一加一的打包合约。至于片酬,我想,还是你来拿主意比较合适。” Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent movie universe plan from announcing to the present, has shown four movies, separately is «Charlie's Angels 2» and «Mission: Impossible 2» and «Casino Royale» and «Charlie's Angels 3», is carrying on «Mission: Impossible 3» that later manufactures is fifth. 米高梅特工电影宇宙计划从宣布到现在,已经上映了四部影片,分别是《霹雳娇娃2》、《碟中谍2》、《007之皇家赌场》和《霹雳娇娃3》,正在进行后期制作的《碟中谍3》算是第五部。 Then, in the Metro Goldwyn Mayer plan also has «Bond 19» and «Charlie's Angels 4» and «Mission: Impossible 4» and «Bond 20» four. 接下来,米高梅计划中还有《邦德19》、《霹雳娇娃4》、《碟中谍4》和《邦德20》四部。 Three big series and the resistance of spirit party, in the «Bond 20» terminations. 三大系列与幽灵党的对抗,也将在《邦德20》完结。 Nine big movies, plot is linked together, forms a complete agent movie universe series, if can successfully complete, absolutely is a pioneering work in Hollywood movie history. 九部大电影,故事情节环环相扣,形成一个完整的特工电影宇宙系列,如果能够顺利完成,绝对是好莱坞电影史上的一次创举。 Saw Amy to push the issue, Eric has pondered the moment, said: „My meaning also similarly is divided into the contract actually, although the possibility of following sequel failure is very low, but reduces the risk the measure to suitably. Since this, «Charlie's Angels 4» press the 10 million USD fixed salary that I once set to add 10% global Box Office net profits to be divided, each of them is the same. However, we make the concession on «Charlie's Angels 4», but «Bond 20», Charlize their three must make the compromise, the big result, they three people of salaries can only according to the 3 million USD computation.” 见艾米将问题推了回来,艾瑞克又思考了片刻,才说道:“我个人的意思其实也同样是分成合约,虽然接下来的续集失败的可能性很低,但适当降低风险的措施是必须的。既然这样,《霹雳娇娃4》就按我曾经定下的1000万美元固定片酬加10%全球票房净利润分成吧,她们每个人都是一样。不过,在《霹雳娇娃4》上我们做出让步,但《邦德20》,查理兹她们三个也必须做出妥协,大结局,她们三人的片酬只能按300万美元计算。” Heard Eric these words, Amy stone at heart actually only dropped half, said: „Eric, this, was the dropping variance too big?” 听到艾瑞克这番话,艾米心里的石头却只落下了半块,道:“艾瑞克,这样,落差是不是太大了一些？” According to condition that Eric pledges, if «Charlie's Angels 4» can continue the magnificence of «Charlie's Angels 3», three people of group each people can attain to surpass the 30 million USD salary from this sequel, but the «Bond 20» salaries fell 3 million USD directly, and has not been divided, this ten times of dropping variance, will make people be hard to accept absolutely. 根据艾瑞克开出的条件,如果《霹雳娇娃4》能够延续《霹雳娇娃3》的辉煌,三人组每个人都能从这部续集里拿到超过3000万美元的片酬,但《邦德20》的片酬直接降到了300万美元,而且没有分成,这种十倍的落差,绝对会让人非常难以接受。 Under Eric heart consider as finished, had realized improper, smiled, said: „That slightly changes, «Charlie's Angels 4», is divided to reduce to 5% , «Bond 20» again to them 5%.” 艾瑞克心算了下,也意识到了其中的不妥,笑了笑,道:“那就稍微改一下,《霹雳娇娃4》,分成降低到5%,@《邦德20》再给她们5%。” Amy has hesitated, said: „Eric, this is not quite as if good, although this contract definitely meets the external secrecy, but, «Bond 20» their three take 5% respectively, the salary of overlapping collection will appear somewhat high.” 艾米迟疑了下,还是说道:“艾瑞克,这样似乎也不太好,虽然这份合约肯定会对外保密,不过,《邦德20》她们三个各拿5%,交叉集的片酬又会显得有些高了。” „That continues to adjust,” Eric smiles, said: „Moreover, Amy, don't you need such cautiously, I to look like very much look like a tyrant?” “那就继续调整啊,”艾瑞克笑笑,道:“而且,艾米,你没必要这么小心翼翼的,我看起来很像一个暴君吗？” „Is only,” the Amy expression is somewhat awkward, the unconsciousness has given a hand signal, explained: „«Charlie's Angels 4» Box Office was good, everybody these days somewhat is anxious.” “只是,”艾米表情有些尴尬,无意识地做了个手势,解释道:“《霹雳娇娃4》的票房太好了,大家这段时间都有些紧张。” „It seems like last year that matter had cast very deep trauma to you,” Eric still smiles, said: „But, you should also see change, if were not my last year insistence, Kevin Costner easily will definitely not comply to participate performance «Charlie's Angels 4», perhaps, this ICM will not display so was careful. Since the 70's Michael Ovitz has founded Creative Artists Agency, Hollywood big Film Studio lost more and more initiatives. In the final analysis, Amy, I am bringing back belonged to our initiatives, changes a view, we should be the Hollywood masters.” “看来去年那件事给你们留下了很深的心理阴影,”艾瑞克依然笑着,道:“不过,你们应该也看到了这其中的变化,如果不是我去年的坚持,凯文・科斯特纳肯定不会轻易答应参演《霹雳娇娃4》,或许,这一次ICM也不会表现的如此小心谨慎。自从七十年代迈克尔・奥维茨创建CAA以来,好莱坞大制片厂已经失去了越来越多的主动权。归根结底,艾米,我只是在拿回原本属于我们的主动权,或者,换一种说法,我们才应该是好莱坞的主人。” Amy listens to Eric these words, in the vision to have some light worships silently, although has not stated clearly, but she in has made some small revisions to the Eric words at heart. The Eric last few words, that word of opening should not be ‚we’, perhaps, should be ‚I’ is right. 艾米默默地听着艾瑞克的这番话,目光中带着些淡淡的崇拜,虽然没有明说,但她在心里还是对艾瑞克的话做了一些小小的修改。艾瑞克的最后一句话,开头的那个单词不应该是‘我们’,或许,应该是‘我’才对。 The present youth, is the Hollywood master. 眼前的青年,才是好莱坞的主人。 They also in detail discussed one about three people of group salaries ‚being fickle’ proportion, the attendant comes up the lunch end, the topic also starts becomes relaxed. 两人又详细讨论了一番关于三人组片酬‘朝三暮四’的比例,侍应生将午餐端上来,话题也开始变得轻松。 Unknowingly chatted in «Charlie's Angels 3» on the painted eggshell of that stepping-stone document, Amy said: „Eric, we already with Matt hoodwinks to contact, but, because of last year «Mind Backstop», Matt plays the basic sale price of commercial film to maintain at 7 million USD above now . Moreover, he impossible like model/pattern Dusserre and Paul Walker, signs the trilogy with us the pack contract.” 不知不觉就聊到了《霹雳娇娃3》中那个踏脚石文件的彩蛋上,艾米道:“艾瑞克,我们已经和马特・达蒙接触过,不过,因为去年的《心灵捕手》,马特现在出演商业片的基本身价维持在700万美元以上,而且,他也不可能像范・迪塞尔和保罗・沃克那样,和我们签署三部曲的打包合约。” Initial «The Fast and the Furious», Eric has begun using at present also obscure Paul directly Walker and model/pattern Dusserre, to avoid returning to the agent universe three big series of road, Metro Goldwyn Mayer disposable signed three pieces to make with them, firmly had all initiatives in the hand. 当初的《速度与激情》,艾瑞克直接启用了目前还默默无闻的保罗・沃克与范・迪塞尔,为了避免重蹈特工宇宙三大系列的覆辙,米高梅一次性和两人签署了三部片约,将所有主动权牢牢地掌握在手中。 However, this move regarding at present already in Matt that Hollywood prominence hoodwinks actually does not have an effect. By the success of «Mind Backstop», Matt hoodwinks has been promoted successfully is a Hollywood actor, moreover individual acting career also has this very broad rise space, is impossible to sign the pack contract with Film Studio easily. 不过,这一招对于目前已经在好莱坞声名鹊起的马特・达蒙却是不起作用。凭借《心灵捕手》的成功,马特・达蒙已经成功晋级为好莱坞一线男星,而且个人的演艺事业还有这非常广阔的上升空间,不可能轻易与电影公司签署打包合约。 „Since this, you contact other actors,” Eric is having front lunch leisurely, said: „Is only agent movie universe series laughing uproariously, sufficiently ensure the «The Bourne Identity» popularity, we and may not begin using a star. So long as the performing skill is splendid enough , the image of conjunction actor, even if the complete new people have not related.” “既然这样,那你就接触一下其他男星,”艾瑞克慢条斯理地吃着面前的午餐,道:“只是特工电影宇宙系列这个噱头,就足以保证《谍影重重》的人气,我们并不一定要启用一线明星。只要演技足够出色,又契合男主角的形象,哪怕是完全的新人都没关系。” Amy nods, she had looked at the detailed idea plans of Eric to «The Bourne Identity» series. 艾米点点头,她已经看过艾瑞克对《谍影重重》系列的详细构思方案。 Then, the series that if according to the Eric mentality, this style establishes a new school is very difficult to have the plot with the agent movie universe overlapping, but, Amy is confident regarding the Box Office prospect of this series. 说起来,如果按照艾瑞克的思路,这个风格独树一帜的系列很难与特工电影宇宙产生剧情交叉,不过,艾米对于这个系列的票房前景却非常有信心。 Because the style of this series was too special, the trilogy plot is linked together, unique shoots technique, influential movement scene design, very perfect story completion, even if the movie needs several years later can screen, but relies on some plot ideas and minute of scene rough drafts that Eric gives, Amy can feel a completely showy agent movie style. 因为这个系列的风格太特别了,三部曲剧情环环相扣,独特的拍摄手法,极具冲击力的动作场景设计,非常完善的故事完成度,即使影片要几年后才能上映,但只是凭借艾瑞克给出的剧情构思和一些分镜头草稿,艾米就能感觉到一种完全让人耳目一新的特工电影风格。 Has had the lunch, delivers Amy to leave, Eric continues to return to the «Gravity» movie studio starts afternoon work. 吃过午餐,送艾米离开,艾瑞克继续回到《地心引力》摄影棚内开始下午的工作。 In the afternoon because has had some new ideas suddenly, Eric and Robert Byron has been busy at falling to the night in the movie studio, telephones the reminder from the «Charlie's Angels 3» celebration party scenes until the girl, Eric leaves the cinema city about 7 : 30, rushes to Beverly Hills Manor Susnet Tower Hotel. 下午因为突然冒出了一些新想法,艾瑞克和罗伯特・拜伦一直在摄影棚内忙到夜幕降临,直到丫头从《霹雳娇娃3》的庆祝派对现场打电话过来提醒,艾瑞克在七点半左右离开影城,赶往比弗利山庄的日落塔酒店。 When was the time interval of the night most trafficking jams, Eric arrived at Susnet Tower Hotel crosses 8 : 15, party already started. 恰好是夜晚最堵车的时段,艾瑞克到达日落塔酒店时已经过了八点一刻,派对早已开始。 The Susnet Tower Hotel parking lot, Eric just got out, the girl comes on the small artillery, pulls the arm of Eric saying: „Eric, how you come now, wait already around 8 : 00.” 日落塔酒店的停车场,艾瑞克刚刚下车,丫头就小炮过来,挽住艾瑞克的手臂道:“艾瑞克,你怎么现在才过来,等已经八点多啦。” „I and Robert in the spacesuits hard helmet that re-equipping shoots uses, temporarily some new ideas want to try,” Eric was explaining, the subconsciousness has swept around the eye, form that has not seen the twin, therefore did not have the words to look for the words: „Did everybody arrive?” “我和罗伯特在改装拍摄用的宇航服头盔,临时有一些新想法想要试试,”艾瑞克解释着,下意识扫了眼四周,没看到双胞胎的身影,于是没话找话道:“大家都到了吗？” „Naturally,” girl has not noted the Eric look, said: „Starting from party seven o'clock, all people already arrived.” “当然,”丫头没有注意到艾瑞克的眼神,道:“派对七点钟开始,所有人早就到了。” Eric and girl go to the banquet hall in hotel together, everybody of agent movie universe series Lord to create basically has arrived in full. In addition, Los Angeles celebrities superstar from all walks of life appears at the party scene, this aspect, girl, although compared with Eric also small several years old, but can be absolutely makes friends broadly, these years by the status of Metro Goldwyn Mayer major stockholder, this girl are appear like a fish in water in the Hollywood circle. 艾瑞克和丫头一起来到酒店内的宴会厅,特工电影宇宙系列的各位主创基本上都已经到齐。除此之外,还有洛杉矶各界的名流巨星出现在派对现场,这方面,丫头虽然比艾瑞克还小几岁,但绝对可以算是交游广阔,这些年凭借米高梅大股东的身份,这妮子在好莱坞社交圈更是显得如鱼得水。 Eric wound ripe exchanged greetings with the people, then arrived by the self-service dinner table of banquet hall, planned to eat something, busy one in the afternoon, he has been big and hungry at this time. 艾瑞克熟络地与众人寒暄了一番,便走到宴会厅的自助餐桌旁,打算吃些东西,忙碌的一下午,他此时已经是饥肠辘辘。 „Good evening, Eric,” Eric is taking the dinner place choice to eat, the girl carried off the speech by a guest, his side only idle moment, by person ‚making up’. “晚上好,艾瑞克,”艾瑞克正拿着餐盘挑选吃的,丫头被一个客人拉走说话,他身边只空闲了片刻,就被人‘补’了上来。 Eric clamped two to roast the shrimp, lifted the dinner place in hand toward greenishness evening dress physique graceful Charlize with a smile: „Charlie, you are really attractive tonight, can eat a thing together?” 艾瑞克又夹了两只烤虾,笑着朝身旁一身浅绿色晚礼服身姿盈盈的查理兹抬了抬手中的餐盘:“查莉,你今晚真漂亮,要一起吃点东西吗？” „Good,” Charlize nods, took a dinner place to come, stood has selected several food side Eric, suddenly also said: „Eric, Michelle told us your salary condition.” “好啊,”查理兹点点头,也拿了一个餐盘过来,站在艾瑞克身边挑了几份食物,突然又道:“艾瑞克,米歇尔已经把你的片酬条件告诉我们了。” „Em?” Eric knows that Charlize definitely has as follows, but has sent out a syllable of doubts. “恩？”艾瑞克知道查理兹肯定有下文,只是发出了一个疑惑的音节。 The result that at noon Eric and Amy discussed finally was, three people of group's salaries in «Charlie's Angels 4» was the 10 million USD basic salary adds 8% global Box Office net profits to be divided, the salaries in «Bond 20» were the 3 million USD basic salary, Box Office are divided into the proportion are 2%. 中午艾瑞克和艾米最终讨论的结果是,三人组在《霹雳娇娃4》中的片酬是1000万美元底薪加8%全球票房净利润分成,《邦德20》中的片酬为300万美元底薪,票房分成比例为2%。 If these two movies can attain global 1 billion USD Box Office, theoretically, three people of group nobody can obtain to exceed the 30 million USD income from two movies, three people add even possibly close 100 million USD. 如果这两部影片都能够拿到全球10亿美元的票房,理论上,三人组没人都能够从两部影片中获得超过3000万美元的进账,三个人加起来甚至可能接近一亿美元。 Naturally, this matter, no one can guarantee. The agent movie universe big pieces of consecutively two global Box Office 1 billion ranks, are very difficult to expect that the audience can produce aesthetically weary . Moreover, then the production cost of movie will definitely elevate, even if can still achieve the 1 billion rank, the Box Office net profit will also reduce. 当然,这种事情,谁也不敢保证。连续两部全球票房十亿级别的特工电影宇宙大片,很难预料观众会不会产生审美疲劳,而且,接下来影片的制作成本肯定会升高,即使依然能够达到十亿级别,票房净利润也会有所降低。 Charlize has not looked at Eric, lowers the head as before choice food, as if somewhat careless said: „Michelle urged us to comply, I agreed.” 查理兹没有看艾瑞克,依旧低着头挑选食物,似乎有些漫不经心道:“米歇尔劝我们答应下来,我已经同意了。” Eric waited for the moment, has not heard Charlize as follows, understands approximately that Charlize said one agreed that the subtext probably is, Kate and Penélope are not quite satisfied to this salary plan, even is possibly fermenting anything. 艾瑞克等了片刻,没有听到查理兹的下文,大致就明白过来,查理兹说自己同意了,潜台词大概就是,凯特和佩内洛普对这份片酬方案不太满意,甚至可能酝酿着什么。 Moreover, Michelle Simons persuaded three people of groups to agree that this plan, was disclosing actually also another information, compared in the salaries of three people of groups, ICM regards as important the relations with Firefly, therefore on own initiative will lobby three female agreement this salary plans. 另外,米歇尔・西蒙斯劝说三人组同意这份方案,其实也透露着另外一种信息,相比于三人组的片酬,ICM更加看重与萤火虫的关系,所以才会主动游说三女同意这份片酬方案。 Nodded, Eric said: „Actually, according to your independent positions, the salary that I started out somewhat was truly somewhat low, but you were clear, you were three people, if such calculated, as the lead, the salary that you attained was unprecedented in Hollywood. The high words, Metro Goldwyn Mayer also is very difficult to take risk.” 点了点头,艾瑞克道:“其实,按照你们单独的咖位,我开出的片酬确实有些偏低了,但你要明白,你们是三个人,如果这么算的话,作为主角,你们拿到的片酬在好莱坞已经是史无前例了。再高的话,米高梅也很难承受其中的风险。” Charlize looked at Eric one, said: „Michelle was also says with us.” 查理兹看了艾瑞克一眼,道:“米歇尔也是这么和我们说的。” „This, I pledged that I they have not been in cahoots with Michelle absolutely.” Eric smiles, carries to select food the dinner place to arrive by a banquet hall dinner table, they sit down together, Eric asked: „You, except for the 《Charlie's Angels》 detail, I quite think that does not remember what film you have also patted other?” “这个,我发誓,我绝对没有和米歇尔他们串通。”艾瑞克笑笑,端着挑好食物的餐盘走到宴会厅一处餐桌旁,两人一起坐下,艾瑞克问道:“你呢,除了《霹雳娇娃》细节,我好想不记得你还拍了其他什么片子？” Charlize is somewhat embarrassed, said: „Has had, but, is very failed, you naturally cannot note.” 查理兹有些不好意思,道:“一直都有啊,只是,都挺失败的,你自然不会注意到。” Eric understands why suddenly Charlize will collect, said with a smile: „I help you pay attention.” 艾瑞克突然明白查理兹为什么会凑过来,笑道:“那我帮你留意一下。”
