The media and audience good reputation in addition of holds, although has the good new piece to screen, the «Mission: Impossible 3» weekend three days of Box Office decline ranges as before strong maintain at 37%, receives 4723 ten thousand USD again. 首周七天,《碟中谍3》就在全美3200多块银幕上收获了1亿1535万美元票房。媒体和观众良好的口碑加持下,虽然前后都有不错的新片上映,《碟中谍3》次周末三天票房跌幅依旧强势地保持在37%,再收4723万美元。 Screens for ten days, «Mission: Impossible 3» total Box Office has achieved 100 million 6258 ten thousand USD. 上映十天,《碟中谍3》的总票房就已经达到1亿6258万美元。 Eric and Mr. and Mrs. Amy enter their mansions together. 艾瑞克和艾米夫妇一起进入他们的豪宅。 The implication thinks highly teases the unrest that several 《The New York Times》 interviews have caused, the topic changed to at the movie quickly, Amy said: „What is most surprising was 《Ted》, the data that I saw this morning, total Box Office surpassed 100 million 60 million USD, only has been short of 1 million USD compared with «Mission: Impossible 3». Then some time, Hollywood definitely had many people to toss about other toys.” 暗含恭维地调侃了几句《纽约时报》专访引起的风潮,话题很快就转到了电影上,艾米道:“最让人惊讶的还是《泰迪熊》了,我今天早上看到的数据,总票房超过1亿6000万美元了,只比《碟中谍3》少了一百万美元。接下来一段时间,好莱坞肯定有很多人要去折腾其他儿童玩具了。” 《Ted》 that ahead of time «Mission: Impossible 3» one week of screening, first week Box Office achieves 886 50,000 USD, the animation and honorable person of this dependence motion capture technology manufacture unify the movie, the content criterion or the Box Office data startled have exploded a place eyeball. 提前《碟中谍3》一周上映的《泰迪熊》,首周票房就达到8865万美元,这部依靠动作捕捉技术制作的动画和真人结合影片,无论是内容尺度还是票房数据都惊爆了一地眼球。 Under topic of superelevation, the second week, although faced with the impacts of «Mission: Impossible 3», 《Ted》 Box Office decline range as before only then 43%, receive 4919 ten thousand USD again. The weekend, the 《Ted》 Box Office decline range squeezed once more, only fell 31%, three days of Box Office 2349 ten thousand USD, Box Office 100 million 6133 ten thousand USD. 超高的话题度下,第二周虽然面临《碟中谍3》的冲击,《泰迪熊》票房跌幅依旧只有43%,再收4919万美元。刚刚过去的周末,《泰迪熊》的票房跌幅再次收窄,只滑落了31%,三天票房2349万美元,累计票房1亿6133万美元。 Although has screened one week of time ahead of time, but 《Ted》 can actually attain at this time with «Mission: Impossible 3» equally matched Box Office, similarly makes many people praise to the heavens. 虽然提前上映了一周时间,但《泰迪熊》此时竟然能够拿到与《碟中谍3》不相上下的票房,同样让很多人叹为观止。 After all, manufacture budget of 《Ted》, only then 50 million USD, is only two -and-a-half weeks of time 100 million more than 60 million USD North America Box Office income, sufficiently makes Firefly take back manufactures and announcement estimated cost completely, movie following North America and even overseas Box Office, as well as future various peripheral releases, are almost the net profits that Firefly will bring. 毕竟,《泰迪熊》的制作预算只有5000万美元,只是两周半时间1亿6000多万美元的北美票房进账,就足以让萤火虫收回全部制作和宣发预算成本,影片接下来的北美乃至海外票房,以及将来的各种周边发行,给萤火虫带来的几乎都是净利润。 On the other hand, the «Mission: Impossible 3» production costs are actually 150 million USD, both sides in the overall announcement scale may not the same day whisper. 相对来说,《碟中谍3》的制作成本却是1.5亿美元,双方在整体的宣发规模上更是不可同日耳语。 Although the synthesis calculates, in the future the «Mission: Impossible 3» profit scales must be higher than 《Ted》 to be many, but is counted the innumerable invisible resources of entire Metro Goldwyn Mayer to «Mission: Impossible 3» investments, the movie will not earn like 《Ted》 absolutely with ease. 虽然综合计算下来,将来《碟中谍3》的盈利规模肯定是要高出《泰迪熊》很多,但算上整个米高梅对《碟中谍3》投入的无数隐形资源,影片绝对不会像《泰迪熊》那样赚得轻松。 Three people arrive at the mansion backyard across the villa, Eric say with a smile: „This quite alternative theme, occasionally makes 12 good, if are too many, the audience will have the repugnant mood quickly, I now in considering the short-term must start the 《Ted》 sequel.” 三个人穿过别墅来到豪宅后院,艾瑞克笑道:“这种比较另类的题材,偶尔做12部还好,如果太多,观众会很快产生反感情绪的,我现在就在考虑短期内还要不要启动《泰迪熊》的续集。” Bernard Weinraub collects the interest saying: „This kind of interesting film, the audience definitely anticipated that can see the sequel as soon as possible.” 伯纳德・温劳布凑趣道:“这样一部有意思的片子,观众肯定是非常期待能够尽快看到续集的。” Was saying, three people arrived at the backyard. 这么说着,三人就已经来到了后院。 The occupying land area has in more than 1000 square meters backyards the light to be bright fully, the atmosphere actually appears somewhat peaceful, probably 40-50 guests disperse in various places scattered, crowds together to chat in threes and fours. 占地足有1000多平米的后院里灯光明亮,气氛却显得有些安静,大概四五十位宾客零零散散地分散在各处,三五成群地凑在一起聊着天。 Although the arrival of Eric has aroused the interests of all people, but in this very official cocktail party situation, the people have not greeted suddenly, but some guests move the step inevitably, hopes that can appear in the Eric march path, takes advantage of opportunity to meet face to face to chat several. 艾瑞克的到来虽然引起了所有人的关注,但在这种非常正式的酒会场合,众人并没有一拥而上地过来打招呼,只是一些宾客不可避免地挪动步子,希望能够出现在艾瑞克的行进轨迹上,顺势打个照面聊上几句。 Entered the backyard, Bernard Weinraub and Eric greeted one in a soft voice, left to treat with courtesy other guests. 进入后院,伯纳德・温劳布和艾瑞克轻声招呼了一句,就离开去应酬其他客人。 Amy and Eric took two liquor water together, starts to help him recommend some guests. 艾米和艾瑞克一起取了两杯酒水,就开始帮他引荐一些客人。 „Eric, this is Kevin, Kevin Williamson,” arrives at one to wear in front of the 30 -year-old about middle-aged person of deep standard mark western-style clothing, Amy then earnestly introduced: „Kevin just said with me perhaps he newest script creativity, you can also listen.” “艾瑞克,这是凯文,凯文・威廉姆森,”来到一个身穿深色格纹西装的三十多岁左右中年人面前,艾米便热切地介绍道:“凯文刚刚和我说了他最新的一个剧本创意,或许你也可以听听。” Kevin Williamson, is screenwriter of 《Scream》 series. Then, Williamson and Williams surname disparity and Hansson and Hans are similar, these many years saw various duplicates to have the same surname, Eric also became accustomed. 凯文・威廉姆森,正是《惊声尖叫》系列的编剧。说起来,威廉姆森和威廉姆斯的姓氏差距与汉森和汉斯类似,这么多年见惯了各种重名重姓,艾瑞克也已经习以为常。 Although prominence by the 《Scream》 series, Kevin Williamson also is very clear at present the youth in the Hollywood energy and status, has grasped starting with Eric respectfully, exchanged greetings two, mentioned own newest script creativity: „Mr. Williams, the story is this: secure lives in a spiritless old-fashioned small town, she biggest desire is to get the full scholarship of university, then leaves this place by far. Soon when graduation, she has to face that to scolding of she very harsh history teacher, in a test test, her history teacher Ms. Ghale suspects her to cheat, therefore grabs this matter not to put tightly. If were worn the hat of cribber, the peaceful scholarship will malinger without doubt, therefore she found Ms. Ghale to attempt to seek the reconciliation in secret, but both sides contradictory actually intensify in the exchange process, under the mistake arising out of chance circumstances, An Cuo the hand has kidnapped own history teacher, therefore the matter becomes even more beyond redemption, then some time, secure has to front of the police officer, in the family member and friend as well as come to inquire conceals this matter as far as possible......” 虽然凭借《惊声尖叫》系列声名鹊起,凯文・威廉姆森却也很明白眼前青年在好莱坞的能量和地位,恭敬地与艾瑞克握了下手,寒暄两句,就说起了自己的最新剧本创意:“威廉姆斯先生,故事是这样的:安生活在一个死气沉沉的古板小镇,她最大的愿望就是拿到大学的全额奖学金,然后远远离开这个地方。只是,即将毕业时,她不得不面临那位对她非常苛刻的历史老师的责难,一次考试测试上,她的历史老师汀格尔女士怀疑她作弊,于是紧抓着这件事不放。如果被扣上作弊者的帽子,安的奖学金无疑会泡汤,于是她私下里找到汀格尔女士企图寻求和解,但双方在交流过程中矛盾却更加激化,阴差阳错之下,安错手绑架了自己的历史老师,于是事情变得愈发不可收拾,接下来一段时间,安不得不在家人、朋友以及前来询问的警官面前尽可能地掩饰这件事……” Eric has the patience to listen to Kevin very much the Williamson lecture the approximate script outline, asked: „Is Kevin, what your theme localization to this movie?” 艾瑞克很有耐心地听凯文・威廉姆森讲完大致的剧本梗概,才问道:“凯文,你对这部电影的题材定位是什么？” Kevin Williamson thinks that said: „This is frightened thrillers of some young people terrifying elements.” 凯文・威廉姆森想了想,道:“这是一部略带些青少年恐怖元素的惊悚悬疑片。” On the Eric face shows some smiles, said: „Therefore, Kevin, you are very obviously clear your superiority, but this as if also has become to your one fetter. I must acknowledge that this is a very splendid creativity, covering up that the accidental kidnapping case, as well as thinks of every means. But thinks carefully that this kind of creativity is more suitable to make an incredible black comedy, but conceives some plots, filled has directed the dramatic conflict that the person laughed sufficiently.” 艾瑞克脸上露出些许微笑,道:“所以,凯文,你显然很清楚自己的优势,但这似乎也成了对你的一种束缚。我得承认,这是一个非常出色的创意,意外的绑架案,以及费尽心机的遮掩。但仔细想想,这样一个创意更加适合做成一部荒诞的黑色喜剧,只是设想一下其中的一些情节,就充满了足以引人发笑的戏剧冲突。” Saw that Kevin Williamson reveals the thinking the look, the Eric also point till. 眼看凯文・威廉姆森露出思索的神色,艾瑞克也点到为止。 Can indicate Kevin Williamson several, looked that brings the 《Scream》 series in him for Metro Goldwyn Mayer the reason, can further change as for the opposite party, or is willing to go a step further, not in the Eric consideration range. 能够点拨凯文・威廉姆森几句,也是看在他为米高梅带来《惊声尖叫》系列的缘故,至于对方能不能更进一步变,或者愿不愿意更进一步,就不在艾瑞克的考虑范围内了。 After 《Scream》 series, besides beforehand summer files Box Office also calculates reluctantly can «I Know You Had made Any in The summer of last year», Kevin Williamson again does not have what representative work. 《惊声尖叫》系列之后,除了之前暑期档票房勉强还算可以的《我知道你去年夏天做了什么》,凯文・威廉姆森就再也没有什么代表性的作品。 First two weeks with that «The Faculty» that 《Ted》 screens same time, the 30 million USD production cost, are Columbia Film Studio the end of the year principal, but until now, Box Office 2 more than 6 million USD, to 《Ted》 100 million 60 million, completely are also no comparison between them. 前两周和《泰迪熊》同期上映的那部《夺命高校》,3000万美元的制作成本,算是哥伦比亚电影公司年底的主打,但到现在为止,票房也才2600多万美元,相对于《泰迪熊》的1亿6000万,完全不可同日而语。 Leaves Kevin Williamson several people, Amy slowed down the footsteps, stops in the swimming pool, said: „Kevin just also had raised with me, he hopes very much can direct this movie personally.” 离开凯文・威廉姆森几人,艾米放慢了脚步,在泳池边停下,道:“凯文刚刚还和我提过,他很希望能够亲自执导这部电影。” „«The Faculty» should you look?” Eric shakes the head slightly, said: „He completely could not find direction now, if cannot precipitate to be broken out of the influence of 《Scream》 by oneself to go a step further, after the popularity exhausts, he will be quick to be eliminated by Hollywood.” “《夺命高校》你应该看过吧？”艾瑞克微微摇头,道:“他现在已经完全找不到方向了,如果不能沉淀下来让自己摆脱《惊声尖叫》的影响更进一步,人气耗尽之后,他会很快被好莱坞淘汰掉的。” The Amy expression is somewhat scruple, said: „That, this movie?” 艾米表情有些迟疑,道:“那,这部电影？” Eric smiles, said: „You decided that this kind of small manufacture, cannot affect anything. However, if Kevin has continued like this, later does not need to cooperate again.” 艾瑞克笑笑,道:“你们自己决定吧,这样一部小制作,影响不到什么。不过,如果凯文一直这样继续下去,以后也没有必要再合作了。” From Kevin in the narration of Williamson, Eric understands that the cost of this movie will not be high, can control as before with ease in 15 million USD, Metro Goldwyn Mayer impossible to budget to a manufacture of beforehand Sony Film Industry such to ignore low cost horror film is turned to 30 million USD. 从凯文・威廉姆森的叙述中,艾瑞克明白这部电影的成本不会太高,依旧能够轻松控制在1500万美元以内,米高梅也不可能向之前的索尼影业那样放任一部低成本恐怖片的制作预算被翻到3000万美元。 In addition has created Kevin of 《Scream》 series Williamson directs this laughing uproariously personally, the possibility that the movie loses money is not high, but if Kevin Williamson pats according to the script style that oneself just narrated, is not already terrorist the alternative young people campus feature film that is not bloody comedy, the possibility that Box Office sells greatly also is almost zero. 再加上创造了《惊声尖叫》系列的凯文・威廉姆森亲自执导这个噱头,影片亏损的可能性不高,但如果凯文・威廉姆森按照自己刚刚叙述的剧本风格来拍,一部既不恐怖也不血腥更不搞笑的另类青少年校园剧情片,票房大卖的可能性也几乎为零。 Amy nods, said: „Was right, Zhan Na also came, we were discussing recently arranges «New York Lovely wife» or «Manhattan Girl» first, you help us give advice.” 艾米点点头,道:“对了,詹娜也来了,我们最近正在讨论是先筹备《纽约娇妻》还是《曼哈顿女孩》,你来帮我们参谋一下。” Eric is just about to move toward not far away with Amy together Chris That side Zhan Na, puts on Penélope of wine red low chest formal clothes Cruz walked gracefully: „Hi, Eric.” 艾瑞克正要和艾米一起走向不远处的克丽丝・詹娜那边,穿着酒红色低胸礼服的佩内洛普・克鲁兹盈盈地走了过来:“嗨,艾瑞克。” In two manpower is carrying wine glass, Eric was only and Penélope has grasped starting, said: „Good evening, Penny, Oh, only then do you come?” 两人手里都端着酒杯,艾瑞克只是和佩内洛普握了下手,道:“晚上好,佩妮,哦,就只有你一个人过来吗？” Penélope some vision small hidden bitterness: „Kate and Charlize have own matter.” 佩内洛普的目光有些小幽怨:“凯特和查理兹都有自己的事情呢。” „This you may misunderstand me, I meant that” Eric lifted the arm with a smile: „I am also a person come exactly.” “这你可误会我了,我是说,”艾瑞克笑着抬了抬手臂:“我恰好也是一个人过来的。” Penélope is understanding immediately, the cat same has entangled, pulls the arm of Eric affectionate. 佩内洛普立刻会意,猫一样缠了过来,亲昵地挽住艾瑞克的手臂。 Amy sees Eric and Penélope chats, toward Chris That side Zhan Na has hinted, first left the past. 艾米见艾瑞克和佩内洛普聊起来,朝克丽丝・詹娜那边示意了下,先离开走了过去。 Their continuation stands near the swimming pool chats in a low voice tenderly, is feeling girl body soft, Eric remembers another matter suddenly, said: „Was right, what was your younger sister making recently? I bumped into her in New York last year, but also has chatted several.” 两人继续站在游泳池边低声闲聊,感受着身旁女郎身躯的娇软,艾瑞克突然想起另外一件事,道:“对了,你妹妹最近在做什么？我去年在纽约碰到她,还聊过几句。” Last year on party of New York fashion week, Eric met Monica Cruz, pledged at that time the girl helped her introduce several movies were coming, but Eric actually quickly forgot afterward. Now suddenly thinks, but also is somewhat awkward, does not know that the girl can make itself villain in secret. 去年在纽约时装周的一次派对上,艾瑞克遇到莫妮卡・克鲁兹,当时还承诺女孩帮她介绍几部电影来着,只不过事后艾瑞克却很快忘记了。现在突然想起来,还有些尴尬,不知道女孩私下里会不会做小人扎自己。 Penélope hears Eric to speak of oneself younger sister, obviously has actually misunderstood anything, the small expression becomes the hidden bitterness, said: „She this year has attained a resident role in «Dark Angel hei Angel» of new season.” 佩内洛普听到艾瑞克提起自己妹妹,却显然误会了什么,小表情变得更加幽怨,却还是说道:“她今年在新一季的《末世黒天使》里拿到了一个常驻角色。” Eric nods, said: „Oh, that science fiction film of Jim supervised manufacture, the viewing ratio is very probably good.” 艾瑞克点头,道:“哦,吉姆监制的那部科幻片啊,收视率好像很不错。” Penélope echoes low voice, sees Eric not to continue, slightly felt relieved. 佩内洛普小声应和着,见艾瑞克没有继续下去,才小小地放下心来。 Chatted several, Eric brought Penélope to move toward Amy and Chris Zhan Na, discussed a while two big series of Reality Show brand-new derivation plays developed the issue, has treated with courtesy in the crowd, Eric temporarily sent Latin girl, stood with Amy in the unmanned place continues at the first topic about «Mission: Impossible 3». 聊了几句,艾瑞克就带着佩内洛普走向艾米和克丽丝・詹娜两人,谈了一会儿两大系列真人秀的全新衍生剧开发问题,又在人群中应酬了一圈,艾瑞克才暂时打发走身旁的拉丁女郎,和艾米站在无人处继续起最初关于《碟中谍3》的话题。 „From the present situation, the «Mission: Impossible 3» North America Box Office potential should in 260 million to 280 million USD, lowered about 40 million USD compared with summer files «Charlie's Angels 3». Overseas, the general Box Office potential in six to seven hundred million USD about, similarly will also be lower than «Charlie's Angels 3» and last year «Casino Royale». global Box Office will frame probably in 900 million USD.” “从现在的情况来看,《碟中谍3》的北美票房潜力应该在2.6亿到2.8亿美元之间,比暑期档的《霹雳娇娃3》低了4000万美元左右。海外方面,大概的票房潜力也会在六到七亿美元左右,同样低于《霹雳娇娃3》和去年的《007之皇家赌场》。全球票房大概会定格在9亿美元以内。” The Amy expression is somewhat regrettable, if although other Hollywood Film Studio high levels hear Amy is a global Box Office close 900 million movie feel regret, that will have the impulsion that one type cries absolutely. But undeniably, originally popularity highest the «Mission: Impossible» series in three big series, the popularity instead had actually been surpassed with the 《Charlie's Angels》 series by 007 series. 艾米的语气有些遗憾,虽然如果好莱坞其他制片厂高层听到艾米为一部全球票房接近9亿的电影感到遗憾,那绝对会产生一种哭出来的冲动。但不可否认,原本在三大系列中人气最高的《碟中谍》系列,人气却已经被007系列和《霹雳娇娃》系列反超了。 Eric hear of Amy said that said: „I have also read the analysis report of issue department doing, this sequel is Eason Hunt and Bond practices acquiring a skill, the combination that the audience does not have the men and women matches before two top agents' joint responses to be so popular obviously. Then we could adjust in this aspect, but, I have not seen Kevin tonight Costner, should he now in Los Angeles?” 艾瑞克听艾米说完,道:“我也看过发行部做的分析报告了,这部续集是伊森亨特和邦德练手,观众对两位顶级特工的联合反应明显没有之前男女搭配的组合那么受欢迎。接下来我们或许可以在这方面进行调整,不过,我今晚没有看到凯文・科斯特纳,他现在应该在洛杉矶吧？” „Kevin flies saying that this propaganda,” Amy said: „But, he should be now is waiting and seeing, therefore is hiding us intentionally.” “凯文飞去曰本宣传了,”艾米道:“不过,他现在应该是在观望,所以故意躲着我们。” Some Eric doubts: „Waits and sees?” 艾瑞克有些疑惑:“观望？” Amy nods, said: „Kevin manager has delayed and us negotiates recently about the following sequel salary, they should and other Box Office situations of «The Fast and the Furious» series.” 艾米点点头,道:“凯文的经纪人最近一直拖延和我们关于接下来的续集片酬谈判,他们应该是在等《速度与激情》系列的票房情况。”
