When the «Horse Language» length is 2 hours 50 minutes, considered at the appointed time the long factor, this premiere starts is very early. 《马语者》的时长为2小时50分钟,考虑到时长因素,这次首映礼开始的很早。 Nine o'clock about, when the movie tail leader captions broadcast, the light shines, in the theater broke out a polite applause at the right moment, Eric felt that the body somewhat became stiff, patiently immediately has not actually set out. 九点钟左右,当电影片尾字幕播完,灯光亮起,影院内适时地响起了一阵礼貌性的掌声,艾瑞克感觉身体有些发僵,却耐心地没有立刻起身。 Regarding «Horse Language», individual overall appraisal of Eric positive. 对于《马语者》,艾瑞克的个人整体评价是正面的。 The overall story of movie is smooth, warm brings to pursue a goal with determination with the light patho, the prairie scenery of Montana is similarly too beautiful to behold. However, Robert Redford has the Hollywood established film-maker common failing, that is the movie rhythm is slow. Three when nearly hours are long, test the patience of audience. The slow rhythm of movie also causes it to express the upper reaches in the sentiment in the sloppiness, throughout lacks one type intensely can the strength of long jab audience soul. 影片的整体故事非常流畅,温馨中带着励志与淡淡的悲情,蒙大拿州的草原风光同样美不胜收。不过,罗伯特雷德福有着好莱坞老牌电影人通病,那就是电影节奏缓慢。将近三个小时是时长,非常考验观众的耐心。影片的缓慢节奏也导致它在感情表达上流于散漫,始终缺少一种强烈的能够直击观众灵魂的力量。 In the applause, the Lord create starts to come to power to give a speech, Eric Elizabeth collects, said in a low voice: „Do you think what kind of?” 掌声中,主创们开始上台致辞,艾瑞克身旁的伊丽莎白凑过来,低声道:“你觉得怎么样？” Eric thinks that replied: „Key must lie in how Harvey operated.” 艾瑞克想了想,回答道:“关键是要看哈维怎么运作了。” If must grade, Eric can give this movie 7.5 points. It is not over 8 points outstanding, but also far ultra and ruled lines. However, this score actually cannot make the audience produce enters the desire of movie theater on own initiative, wants to achieve this point, Weinstein Brothers must utilize own marketing and public relations method, raises the reputation of movie to over 8 points. 如果要打分,艾瑞克能给这部电影7.5分。算不上8分以上的优秀,但也远超及格线。不过,这个分数却并不能让观众产生主动进入电影院的愿望,想要达到这一点,韦恩斯坦兄弟就必须运用自己的营销和公关手段,将影片的口碑拔高到8分以上。 Elizabeth also has similar judgment actually, hears words that Eric has not stemmed from itself to expect, although she somewhat loses, but can also accept. 伊丽莎白其实也有着类似的判断,听到艾瑞克并没有出乎自己预料的话,她虽然有些失落,但也能够接受。 After observing the shade, is floor show party that Miramax conducts, the place is chosen in a nearby hotel. 观影之后是米拉麦克斯举办的余兴派对,地点选在附近的一家酒店。 The time also early, Eric and Elizabeth do not have to hurry back anxiously the rest, then together arrives at the party scene. 时间还早,艾瑞克和伊丽莎白也没有急着赶回去休息,便一起来到派对现场。 „Possibly is the reason that self-directed develops, I felt that Redford has not poured into enough performance enthusiasm to this story, he is the same with Scott Thomas, even lets my some plays, this may really be too awful,” in the party hall, film critic Rutstam from «San Francisco Chronicle» because of forthrightly facing Eric, Elizabeth and Harvey three people, was expressing appraisal to this movie. “可能是自导自演的缘故,我感觉雷德福根本就没有对这个故事倾注足够的表演热情,他和斯科特托马斯一样,甚至让我有些出戏,这可真是太糟糕了,”派对大厅里,来自《旧金山纪事报》的影评人鲁特斯坦因毫不避讳地面对艾瑞克、伊丽莎白和哈维三人,表达着自己对这部电影的评价。 Rutstam because of the words make Elizabeth knit the brows slightly, Eric actually calmly stands, Harvey is listening with a laugh, waited for the opposite party saying that Harvey went forward to embrace the opposite party shoulder intimately, said: „Luti, I must acknowledge, you said is very right, this truly is some small slight defects of movie, but in this world did not have what perfect movie, we should existence of allowable defect. Moreover, beyond the performance, the merit of this movie is many, um, do we go to that side to chat well what kind of?” 鲁特斯坦因的话让伊丽莎白微微皱了皱眉,艾瑞克却不动声色地站在旁边,哈维更是笑呵呵地听着,等对方说完,哈维上前亲热地揽住对方肩膀,道:“鲁特,我得承认,你说的很对,这确实是电影的一些小瑕疵,但这世界上本来就没有什么完美的电影,我们应该允许缺点的存在。而且,在表演之外,这部影片的优点还是很多的,嗯,我们去那边好好聊聊怎么样？” „Naturally,” Rutstam because of slight bow, looked at Eric and Elizabeth, explained smoothly: „Mr. Williams, Miss Murdoch, I may absolutely not in view of the meaning of this movie, I in realistic.” “当然,”鲁特斯坦因微微点点头,又看了看艾瑞克和伊丽莎白,不无圆滑地解释道:“威廉姆斯先生,默多克小姐,我可绝对没有针对这部电影的意思,我只是在实事求是。” Harvey embraces the shoulder of opposite party not to loosen, instead has used some strengths slightly, said: „Eric and Leeds will certainly not care, hehe, we pass, Oh, Eric, Leeds, you as one likes, play happily.” 哈维揽着对方的肩膀没有松开,反而稍微用了些力道,说道:“艾瑞克和利兹当然不会在意,呵呵,我们过去吧,哦,艾瑞克,还有利兹,你们自便,玩得开心一些。” Waits for Harvey to bring that film critic to leave, Eric is embracing the waist of Elizabeth, said with a smile: „Was good, has something to mind that you were the young lady work as. Thinks the past years, Michael Ovitz facing taunting of customer, to win the trust of opposite party, not only has not been angry, instead stands on the table to dance the tap dance, person who he afterward was also not same becomes Hollywood most had the power and influence.” 等哈维带着那位影评人离开,艾瑞克揽着伊丽莎白的腰肢,笑道:“好了,有什么可介意的,你就是大小姐当惯了。想想当年,迈克尔奥维茨面对客户的冷嘲热讽,为了赢得对方的信任,不但没有生气,反而站到桌子上跳踢踏舞,他后来还不是一样成为好莱坞最有权势的人。” „I had not minded, but, the fellow obviously is sees us to walk, intentionally said that showed own existence feeling,” Elizabeth looks the form that Harvey they leave, refuted the sentence discontentedly, holds the Eric thread of conversation: „Currently Hollywood most has that person of power and influence is you, are you willing to dance the tap dance for the customer?” “我才没有介意,只是,那家伙明明是看到我们走过来,才故意这么说显示自己的存在感的,”伊丽莎白看着哈维两人离开的身影,不满地反驳了句,又抓住艾瑞克的话头:“现在好莱坞最有权势的那个人可是你了啊,你愿意为了客户跳踢踏舞吗？” „This, Eric said when necessary”: „I will make Jeffrey they jump.” “这个啊,如果有必要,”艾瑞克道:“我会让杰弗瑞他们去跳。” „Your this fellow,” Elizabeth smiles, is actually in hot pursuit: „But if customer insisting on does make you jump personally?” “你这家伙,”伊丽莎白笑起来,却紧追不舍:“但如果客户执意让你亲自跳呢？” Eric shakes the head self-confidently: „Your this supposition is untenable, now in this world nobody has the qualifications to request me to dance the tap dance for him.” 艾瑞克自信地摇头:“你这个假设不成立,现在这个世界上没有人有资格要求我为他跳踢踏舞。” „Ahem,” Elizabeth suddenly tender snort|hum two: „If I do make you jump?” “哼哼,”伊丽莎白突然娇哼两声:“如果我让你跳呢？” Eric had forgotten probably immediately just words, nodded very much refreshedly: „Does not have the issue, waits to go back me to jump to you.” 艾瑞克好像立刻忘记了刚刚的话,很爽快地点头:“没问题,等下回去我就给你跳。” Elizabeth corners of the mouth curved, the mouth actually despises saying: „Really characterless, is not rare looked that your this fellow dances any tap dance.” 伊丽莎白嘴角弯弯,嘴里却鄙视道:“真没骨气,才不稀罕看你这家伙跳什么踢踏舞。” The Eric expression insisted: „This is not good, the matter that I comply with will not renege on a promise, tonight you did not look that must look.” 艾瑞克语气坚持:“这可不行,我答应的事情是不会反悔的,今晚你不看也得看。” Chatted several, under they arrived at a banquet hall spatial chair to be implicated, saw side not far away Harvey to trade another film critic, they are chatting anything in the warm feelings, Elizabeth raised the chin to hint to Eric, said: „From the present situation, the reputation of movie should not have the issue?” 说笑几句,两人来到宴会厅一处空座椅旁坐下,看到不远处哈维身边已经换了另外一个影评人,两人正在热络地聊着什么,伊丽莎白扬起下巴给艾瑞克示意了下,道:“从现在的情况来看,影片的口碑应该没问题了吧？” At this time, Eric can also see Harvey to «Horse Language» is not general being careful. 此时,艾瑞克也能够看出哈维对《马语者》不是一般的上心。 This also is actually very good to understand that «Horse Language» is Weinstein Film Industry so far invests a biggest literary film, the Harvey two brothers had to the 50 million USD movie investment upper limit that Miramax makes to Fox discontentedly, the «Horse Language» Box Office condition, is directly related with Miramax whether may break this limit. 这其实也很好理解,《马语者》是韦恩斯坦影业到目前为止投资最大的一部文艺片,哈维兄弟俩本来就对福克斯对米拉麦克斯做出的5000万美元电影投资上限有所不满,《马语者》的票房状况,直接关系到米拉麦克斯是否有可能突破这层限制。 If «Horse Language» Box Office can reach the conventional commercial film scale, so long as in the future bumps into the enough splendid project, Fox likely will also open this limit. But if the Box Office unfavorable situation of «Horse Language», Miramax is impossible to invest the high cost literary film again. 如果《马语者》票房能够达到常规商业片规模,将来只要碰到足够出色的项目,福克斯也就很可能会开放这个限制。但如果《马语者》的票房失利,米拉麦克斯也就不可能再投资高成本文艺片。 „Reputation definitely did not have the issue,” Eric nodded, said: „But, the key must lie in that the audience shows respect for somebody's ability, when movie nearly 3 hours is long, will let eventually lack the patient audience to shrink back at the sight.” “口碑是肯定没问题了,”艾瑞克点头,道:“不过,关键还是要看观众是不是买账,影片将近3个小时的时长,终究还是会让很多缺乏耐心的观众望而却步的。” Elizabeth actually some too do not approve, said: „Still remembers that a few years ago you deceived that «Dances with Wolves» that I bought, that was four hours, but North America Box Office surpassed 180 million USD, global 420 million, the cost was only 2000 ten thousand USD. I thought that these two movies have the similarity obviously. They reorganize, is the Lord creates self-directed develops, has magnificent natural humane background.” 伊丽莎白却有些不太赞同,道:“还记得前些年你骗我买下的那部《与狼共舞》吗,那可是四个小时呢,只是北美票房就超过1.8亿美元,全球4.2亿,成本却只有2000多万美元。我觉得这两部电影明显有着很多相似的地方。它们都是改编,都是主创自导自演,都有着非常壮观的自然人文背景。” „But you must acknowledge that” Eric said: „«Horse Language» the political content or the humanistic emotion, do not have «Dances with Wolves» are so intense and burning hot. On the other hand, the «Horse Language» biggest merit, was its original popularity goes far beyond compared the unpopular in the past «Dances with Wolves». However, after your saying, I thought so actually that waits to remind Harvey, if he can again on the media «Dances with Wolves» «Horse Language» and links, may obtain the unexpected harvest.” “但你得承认,”艾瑞克道:“《马语者》无论是政治内涵还是人文情感,都没有《与狼共舞》那么强烈和炙热。相对来说,《马语者》最大的优点,就是它的原创知名度远远超过当年比较冷门的《与狼共舞》。不过,经过你这么一说,我倒是觉得,等下可以提醒哈维一下,如果他能再媒体上将《马语者》和《与狼共舞》联系在一起,或许会得到意想不到的收获。” ...... …… The Weinstein Brothers Oscar operation secret actually has been very to put it bluntly simple, that through the formidable media and appraisal committee public relations offensive, creates the indisputable reputation as well as the massive award item ballots to the Miramax acceptance movie. 韦恩斯坦兄弟的奥斯卡运作秘诀说穿了其实一直很简单,那就是通过强大的媒体和评委公关攻势,给米拉麦克斯入围影片创造无可争议的口碑以及大量的奖项选票。 Naturally, the specific operation technique was tedious and complex. 当然,具体的运作手法就非常繁琐和复杂了。 Because the «Horse Language» 50 million USD investment brings returns to this pressure, Weinstein Brothers this time, although does not have to use the small scale to screen again accumulates the reputation and Box Office long-line operation technique gradually, the media marketing means that but many years accumulate have played very vital role at this movie as before. 由于《马语者》5000万美元投资带来的回本压力,韦恩斯坦兄弟这次虽然没有再使用小规模上映逐渐积累口碑和票房的长线运作手法,但多年积累下来的媒体营销手段依旧在这部电影上发挥了非常重要的作用。 After the premiere, Miramax started the formidable public relations offensive immediately, next day, the North America mainstream paper media almost hold the frontage appraisal to «Horse Language», even if obviously does not like film critic of this movie, the criticism to «Horse Language» also obviously is not that intense. 首映礼之后,米拉麦克斯立刻就启动了强大的公关攻势,第二天,北美主流纸质媒体几乎都对《马语者》持正面评价,即使是很多明显不太喜欢这部电影的影评人,对《马语者》的批评也明显不是那么激烈。 After the initial statistics, «Horse Language» initial period film critic appraised breaks through 8 points of outstanding bisector successfully, the media average allocation has been 8.2 points, is higher than compared with 7.5 points that Eric gave personally. 经过初步统计,《马语者》初期影评人评价成功地突破了8分的优秀平分线,媒体平均打分达到8.2分,比艾瑞克个人给出的7.5分高出很多。 The «Horse Language» publication date was in 1995, to the present three years. However, although this won around the world the welcome of reader . Moreover, many audiences also quite approve the «Horse Language» movie version to splendid reorganization, but, most starts «Horse Language» also has a very obvious inferiority, that is lacks can cause the topic point that the public discussed. 《马语者》出版日期是1995年,到现在才三年时间。不过,虽然这部赢得了世界范围内读者的欢迎,而且,很多观众也都颇为认可《马语者》电影版对的出色改编,不过,最开始《马语者》也有着一个非常明显的劣势,那就是缺乏可以引起公众讨论的话题点。 Every so often, dispute topic of movie even compares its movie criticism score to be important. 很多时候,一部电影的争议话题度甚至比它本身的影评分数还要重要。 This aspect, miraculous glow on Eric and Elizabeth party after the premiere dodged played very major role. Under reminder of Eric and Elizabeth, Weinstein Brothers very decisively «Horse Language» and «Dances with Wolves» relation in one. 这方面,艾瑞克和伊丽莎白在首映礼之后派对上的灵光一闪就起了非常大的作用。在艾瑞克和伊丽莎白的提醒下,韦恩斯坦兄弟非常果断地将《马语者》与《与狼共舞》联系在了一起。 Although passed for seven years from «Dances with Wolves», but , the long time, making this attain the Oscar best picture, best Director in the past successfully and other movies of a series of heavyweight award item gradually becomes the classics that in many person minds did not have to shake. 虽然距离《与狼共舞》已经过去了七年时间,不过,也正是漫长的时间,让这部当年成功拿到奥斯卡最佳影片、最佳导演等一系列重量级奖项的影片逐渐成为很多人心目中无可撼动的经典。 Saw that some media on «Horse Language» classics of in heart link, the «Dances with Wolves» supporting wholesales do not want immediately, therefore, for several days, on the North America major media appeared about «Horse Language» and discussion of «Dances with Wolves» which one is good and which one is bad. The «Dances with Wolves» supporter is numerous, but in the global range has sold the 10 million book originally «Horse Language», the bibliophile and movie fan quantity cannot be underestimated similarly. 看到一些媒体就《马语者》与自己心中的经典联系在一起,《与狼共舞》的拥趸们顿时就不愿意了,于是,短短几天时间,北美各大媒体上就出现了关于《马语者》和《与狼共舞》孰优孰劣的讨论。《与狼共舞》地支持者众多,但在全球范围内卖出了1000万册原着的《马语者》,书迷和影迷数量同样不容小觑。 Therefore, both sides' argument is belligerent, is suddenly difficult the minute high under. 因此,双方的争论可谓火药味十足,一时间难分高下。 This argument while was stimulating «Horse Language» attention and Box Office greatly, even also the volume gave extra a «Dances with Wolves» wave of recording tape and DVD sale upsurge, a detail that many people have not realized was, «Dances with Wolves» copyright, similarly in Firefly system hand. 这种争论在大大刺激了《马语者》的关注度和票房的同时,甚至还额外带起了《与狼共舞》的一波录像带和dvd销售热潮,很多人都没有意识到的一个细节是,《与狼共舞》的版权,同样在萤火虫体系手中。 Under the stimulation of this high topic, the first weekend three days, «Dances with Wolves» has attained 321 50,000 USD Box Office finally, although this result cannot compare with these heavy case bombs, has satisfied many people. 在这种高话题度的刺激下,首周末三天,《与狼共舞》最终拿到了3215万美元票房,虽然这份成绩并不能与那些重磅炸弹相比,却已经让很多人都非常满意。 First weekend Box Office 321 50,000 USD, this means that movie first week Box Office can achieve about 45 million USD with ease. 首周末票房3215万美元,这意味着影片首周票房能够轻松达到4500万美元左右。 By reputation that «Horse Language» displays, although will face the competitions of several new pieces next week continuously, but it is expected that Box Office decline range placed 30% is very relaxed. 以《马语者》表现出来的口碑,虽然下周将连续面临几部新片的竞争,但预期中的票房跌幅维持在30%还是非常轻松的。 So long as can be the low decline range the Box Office trend, «Horse Language» North America Box Office broken hundred million are just round the corner. 只要能够达到低跌幅的票房走势,《马语者》的北美票房破亿指日可待。 50 million USD cost, North America Box Office broken hundred million, is counted anticipated overseas Box Office, this basically means that is only the theater distributes, this project can brings the strong gain to Miramax and even the parent company Fox group. 5000万美元的成本,北美票房破亿,算上预期中的海外票房,这基本上意味着只是影院发行,这个项目就能够给米拉麦克斯乃至母公司福克斯集团带来丰厚的盈利。 Moreover, by the Weinstein Brothers Oscar public relations ability, so long as «Horse Language» can capture on this year's Oscar, the late peripheral release income of movie will be richer. 而且,以韦恩斯坦兄弟的奥斯卡公关能力,只要《马语者》能够在今年的奥斯卡上有所斩获,影片的后期周边发行收益将更加丰厚。 ...... …… Los Angeles northern Ventura, this is Eric after the personal airport officially begins using first time arrived here. 洛杉矶北部的文图拉,这还是艾瑞克在私人机场正式启用之后第一次来到这里。 Compared with the initial farmland, at this time, this region peripheral had been encircled by the high wire netting, the infield is two overlapping length runway as well as other monitoring guidance centers and six large-scale hangars. However, at this time in the hangar has two gulf stream v jet planes temporarily. 与当初的农田相比,此时,这块区域周边已经被高高的铁丝网圈起,机场内部是两条交叉型的长短跑道以及监控导航中心和其他六座大型机库。不过,此时机库内暂时只有两架湾流v喷气式飞机。 This year is on November 10, Eric rushes to here in the morning, planned that rides the gulf stream v to fly to London directly. 今年已经是11月10日,艾瑞克上午赶到这里,打算乘坐湾流v直接飞往伦敦。 The gulf stream v can be said as the gulf stream astronavigation company first model of ultra distance long-distance corporate aircraft, the continuous cruise capability is 12000 kilometers, even can satisfy the cross Pacific Ocean flight, bridges over the United States native place as well as Atlantic Ocean from Los Angeles of United States West coast arrives at London directly also completely is not the issue. 湾流v可以说是湾流宇航公司第一款超距离远程公务机,续航能力达到12000公里,甚至可以满足跨太平洋飞行,从美国西海岸的洛杉矶跨过美国本土以及大西洋直接到达伦敦也完全不是什么问题。 However, entered in the gulf stream v engine rooms to visit, Eric immediately has cancelled has taken this airplane to fly to the London thought. 不过,进入湾流v机舱内参观了一番,艾瑞克就立刻打消了乘坐这架飞机飞往伦敦的念头。 Reason also very simple and crude. 理由也非常简单粗暴。 Too small. 太小了。 Is having the luxurious anteroom and compared with spacious activity space Boeing 767 with that fuselage width close five meters that first two years of Eric often sits, the gulf stream v engine room inner width width only then two meters over, the two sides display the sofa and chair, basically did not have the idle activity space, Eric is very difficult to imagine sits rushes to the London situation on this kind of small aircraft from Los Angeles. 与前两年艾瑞克常坐的那架机身宽度接近五米拥有着豪华套房和宽敞活动空间的波音767相比,湾流v机舱内部宽度宽度只有两米出头,两边摆上沙发和座椅,基本上就没有了空余的活动空间,艾瑞克实在是很难想象坐在这样一架小飞机上从洛杉矶赶往伦敦的情形。 „Later this small aircraft gives everybody to serve as the short flight,” in the restroom in airport, Eric said to the girl who catching up to see off: „Moreover, that two 747 construction progress how?” “以后这架小飞机就给大家用作短途飞行吧,”机场的休息室内,艾瑞克对赶过来送行的丫头道:“另外,那两架747的建造进度怎么样了？” „Also takes probably a half year,” girl said: „But, I can urge that side Boeing.” “还需要大概半年吧,”丫头道:“不过,我可以催一下波音那边。” Eric shakes the head with a smile, said: „This matter, does not urge well, safety first.” 艾瑞克笑着摇摇头,道:“这种事情,还是不催最好,安全第一啊。” „Hehe, then on consider as finished, „ girl was saying, lifted the wrist/skill to look at the watch, said:” That frame Boeing 767 also takes one hour to be able, Eric, we go out for a walk. „ “呵呵,那就算了,“丫头说着,抬起手腕看了看手表,道:”那架波音767还要一个小时才能到呢,要不,艾瑞克,我们出去走走。“ Gave up riding the gulf stream v, Eric can only make the person move again initial that frame Boeing 767, at this time they were waiting for this matter.( To be continued......) r 放弃了乘坐湾流v,艾瑞克只能让人再把当初的那架波音767调过来,此时两人就在等待这件事。(未完待续……)r
