„The opposite party preliminary condition is,” Bill Chanique said: „Sony Film Industry can share «Father Forward Flushing» including Box Office and audio and video product and peripheral broadcast authorization all channel total revenues 15% as release expense, but we need to undertake the announcement budget of movie.” “对方初步的条件是,”比尔・米查尼克道:“索尼影业可以分享《老爸向前冲》包括票房、音像产品和周边播放授权等所有渠道全部收入的15%作为发行费用,但我们需要承担影片的宣发预算。” With the past years only knows that is staring at compared with Box Office silly, Eric is only one hear, just knows attains the Adam Sandler new piece the constructor is the Hollywood old bird. 和自己当年只知道傻傻地盯着票房相比,艾瑞克只是一听,就知道拿到亚当・桑德勒新片的制作方是好莱坞老鸟。 In Hollywood filmmaking and announcement budget, emptiest without doubt is the announcement budget. 好莱坞电影制作和宣发预算中,最虚的无疑就是宣发预算。 According to the rule, Hollywood several big trade unions need to fix from the net profit of Hollywood movie extract the certain proportion to be divided as its member welfare, in addition some movie hosts create can also sign the net profit to be divided into the contract with Film Studio, as well as some avoiding taxes factors, to reduce even avoids some disbursements, Production Studio will usually make a false report the announcement budget, distributes the profit that in the process has to counter-balance completely the movie, enabling the account to present the loss condition, this is the so-called Hollywood account book. 根据规则,好莱坞的几大工会需要固定从好莱坞电影的净利润中抽取一定比例分成作为其会员福利,再加上一些电影主创也会与电影公司签署净利润分成合约,以及一些避税因素,为了减少甚至避免这部分支出,制作公司通常都会虚报宣发预算,将电影发行过程中产生的利润全部都抵消掉,使得账面呈现出亏损状态,这就是所谓的好莱坞账本。 The «Father Forward Flushing» constructor proposed that Columbia undertakes the announcement budget of movie, avoided the issuing company making a false report the announcement budget directly the big hole. Must know, the announcement budget of Hollywood movie basically about the half of production cost, but announcement budget in many movie account, even is higher than the production cost. 《老爸向前冲》的制作方提出哥伦比亚承担影片的宣发预算,直接就避免了发行公司虚报宣发预算的大坑。要知道,好莱坞电影的宣发预算基本上都在制作费用的一半左右,但很多影片账面上的宣发预算,甚至比制作费用还要高。 Moreover, the 15% releases of entire channel income are divided carefully have considered obviously. 而且,全渠道收入的15%发行分成显然也是精心考虑过的。 Here income, naturally is not the profit of movie, is not movie the Box Office and DVD and other channel of the complete sales revenues, but the income is Film Studio is divided after various aspect terminal seller there obtains, for example the North America native place and 55% of institute line business are divided, overseas average about 35% shares, as well as the wholesale income of audio and video product wait/etc.. 这里的收入,自然不是电影的利润,也不是影片的票房和DVD等渠道的全部销售收入,而是电影公司从各方面终端销售商那里分成之后得到的收入,比如北美本土与院线商的55%分成,海外平均35%左右的分成,以及音像产品的批发收入等等。 Adam Sandler's overseas Box Office rallying point basically can ignore, the recording tape and DVD and other audio and video peripheral operation cycles are also too long, regarding Columbia, Box Office of most solid North America native place are divided. 亚当・桑德勒的海外票房号召力基本上可以忽略不计,录像带和DVD等音像周边的运营周期又太长,对于哥伦比亚来说,最实在的还是北美本土的票房分成。 15% Box Office revenue shares, calculate slightly, is only probably equal to 8% of North America Box Office gross income. In other words, if «Father Forward Flushing» North America Box Office harvests 100 million USD, Columbia Film Studio can only attain 8 million USD, although overseas Box Office wife are not many, but collects 2 million USD not to have the issue. 15%的票房收入分成,稍微计算一下,大概只相当于北美票房总收入的8%。也就是说,如果《老爸向前冲》北美票房收获1亿美元,哥伦比亚电影公司只能拿到800万美元,海外票房虽然不太太多,但搜罗出200万美元还是没问题的。 Like this calculates that Columbia can attain 10 million USD from Box Office. Account for one-third income proportions according to Hollywood Box Office, audio and video and authorization at present respectively, operates after about two years entire channels, Columbia total revenue probably in 30 million USD about. 这样算来,哥伦比亚能够从票房上拿到1000万美元。按照目前好莱坞票房、音像、授权各占1的收入比例,经过两年左右的全渠道运营下来,哥伦比亚的全部收入大概在3000万美元左右。 The announcement budget of new line «The Waterboy» to «The Wedding Singer» and is 10 million USD, naturally, in the account such will definitely not write. If «Father Forward Flushing» defers to this standard similarly, the busy two years, Columbia can only attain the 20 million USD net profit. 新线对《婚礼歌手》和《茶水男孩》的宣发预算都是1000万美元,当然,账面上肯定不会这么写。如果《老爸向前冲》同样按照这种标准,忙碌两年时间,哥伦比亚就只能拿到2000万美元的净利润。 It is not difficult to guess, since Adam Sandler has rejected the salary offer of new line 15 million USD, this single-handedly Production Studio gives his salary, at least is also 20 million USD has the bottom. 不难猜测,既然亚当・桑德勒拒绝了新线1500万美元的片酬报价,那么,这家独力制作公司给他的片酬,至少也是2000万美元起底。 Compares the Adam Sandler's relaxed income, Columbia gains completely is a sum of laborious money. 相比亚当・桑德勒的轻松进账,哥伦比亚赚的完全就是一笔辛苦钱。 Laborious money. 辛苦钱啊。 Hollywood seven big Film Studio reduce to makes a laborious money from the obvious hand the situation, might as well goes bankrupt. 一家好莱坞七大之一的电影公司沦落到从明显手中赚点辛苦钱的地步,还不如破产了事。 In fact, Sony Film Industry in original space and time, occasionally can make the company wealth report appear except for the «Spider-Man» series that rigidly adhering to does not put attractive, other times, basically are at from Adam Sandler, Will in Smith these ultra low performance-to-price ratio star hands makes ‚laborious money’ condition. Tom Cruise attains the more than 70 million USD income from each «Mission: Impossible», has let Paramount with it getting angry, but Will Smith actually repeatedly from obtains the single unit with the cooperation of Sony Film Industry in reaches as high as the 80 million USD income. 实际上,原时空中的索尼影业,除了死抱不放的《蜘蛛侠》系列偶尔能够让公司财报显得好看一些,其他时候,基本上都处在从亚当・桑德勒、威尔・史密斯这些超低性价比明星手中赚‘辛苦钱’的状态。汤姆・克鲁斯从每部《碟中谍》中拿到7000多万美元的收入,就已经让派拉蒙与之翻脸,但威尔・史密斯却频频从与索尼影业的合作中获得单部高达8000万美元的进账。 Has cleared off the train of thought that Eric without hesitation to Bill Chanique said: „Rejects them, we do not want the distribution rights of this movie, later will not accept similar condition.” 理清了思绪,艾瑞克毫不犹豫地对比尔・米查尼克道:“拒绝他们吧,我们不要这部电影的发行权,以后也不会接受类似的条件。” Bill Chanique somewhat is scruple, said: „Eric, 15% share proportions can definitely negotiate.” 比尔・米查尼克却有些迟疑,道:“艾瑞克,15%的分成比例肯定还是可以谈判的。” „Bill, you are willing to make to order the profit of this movie anticipated is right?” Eric asked that has not waited for Bill Chanique replied that continues saying: „My rather Columbia distribution circuit maintains the free time, will not work to the star. Columbia lacks the movie-making fund, I give you, you need the announcement resources, the media network of Firefly system can provide, therefore, you must do, brings your team to seek for the good movie project. You have two years, two years later, if Columbia did not have the improvement, I will carry on the first lay-off. If , was unable to save, I cut you, then merges into Firefly Columbia.” “比尔,你肯定做过这部影片的盈利预期对不对？”艾瑞克问了一句,没有等比尔・米查尼克回答,就继续道:“我宁愿哥伦比亚的发行渠道保持空闲,也不会给明星打工。哥伦比亚缺少制片资金,我给你,你们需要宣发资源,萤火虫体系的传媒网络都可以提供,所以,你要做的,就是带着你的团队去寻找好的电影项目。你有两年时间,两年后如果哥伦比亚还没有起色,我会进行第一次裁员。如果之后还无法挽救,我就把你裁掉,然后把哥伦比亚并入萤火虫。” Eric said that no longer pays attention to them, sets out to walk toward the dining room outside directly. 艾瑞克说完,就不再理会两人,起身直接朝餐厅外走去。 Bill Chanique has digested the Eric just that words, suddenly feels the pressure to multiply. 比尔・米查尼克消化了一下艾瑞克刚刚的那番话,顿觉压力倍增。 Although Eric just words were very intense, but thinks carefully that asked for money to give money, wanted the channel to have the channel, if could not have completed, even if Eric did not open the mouth, he did not have the face to keep Columbia. However, in one of the risk highest professions as this world, who dares to vouch to a success or failure of movie? 艾瑞克刚刚的话虽然很激烈,但仔细想想,要钱给钱,要渠道有渠道,如果还做不好,即使艾瑞克不开口,他也没脸在留在哥伦比亚了。不过,作为这个世界上风险最高的行业之一,谁敢对一部电影的成败打包票啊？ Looks that side as if completely has not received Eric just the influence of that words, drinks the coffee leisurely Kenneth Horne, Bill the Chanique sudden miraculous glow dodges, the probe said: „Kenneth, I heard that besides «Ring», in the new informer also has several good Japanese-style horror film script?” 看着旁边似乎完全没有受到艾瑞克刚刚那番话的影响,优哉游哉喝咖啡的肯尼斯・霍恩,比尔・米查尼克突然灵光一闪,试探道:“肯尼斯,我听说除了《午夜凶铃》,新线手里还有几个不错的日式恐怖片剧本？” Kenneth Horne does not wait for Bill Chanique says, directly shakes the head, says with a smile: „You want do not think.” 肯尼斯・霍恩不等比尔・米查尼克提出来,就直接摇头,笑道:“你想都不要想。” Bill Chanique carried the coffee to drink one depressed, said: „I discovered that Eric helped you select that many projects personally, even also had the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent movie universe, but Columbia anything did not have.” 比尔・米查尼克郁闷地端起咖啡喝了一口,道:“我发现艾瑞克亲自帮你们挑了那么多项目,甚至还有米高梅的特工电影宇宙,但哥伦比亚这边却什么都没有啊。” „Real?” Kenneth on Horne face is having the smiling face as before, said: „Or this, you give me 《Pirates of the Caribbean》, script of new line is casual you to select.” “真的吗？”肯尼斯・霍恩脸上依旧带着笑容,道:“要不这样,你把《加勒比海盗》给我,新线的剧本随便你挑。” Although 《Pirates of the Caribbean》 was pressed by Eric personally was not having any meaning of start, but thinks that Eric for this script, has bought Sony Film Industry directly, cannot imagine his attaching great importance to degree to this project. 虽然《加勒比海盗》被艾瑞克亲自压着还没有任何启动的意思,但只是想想艾瑞克为了这个剧本,直接将索尼影业买了下来,就不能想像他对这个项目的重视程度。 Hears Kenneth Horne's request, Bill Chanique ‚titing for fat’, said immediately: „You want do not think.” 听到肯尼斯・霍恩的要求,比尔・米查尼克立刻‘以牙还牙’,道:“你想都不要想。” Eric takes Columbia, to a certain extent for 《Pirates of the Caribbean》, what is more important is continues the manufacture and distribution platform of expansion Firefly system. 艾瑞克拿下哥伦比亚,一定程度上是为了《加勒比海盗》,更重要的还是继续扩张萤火虫体系的制作和发行平台。 Although the Hollywood inside and outside many people look to fade the Columbia prospect, Eric has actually been full of confidence with the recovery of Columbia, in hundred and thousand of movie projects that after all, regarding him, from Hollywood every time fermented chooses has in a big way sells the potential script to give Columbia, this simply is the easy matter. 虽然好莱坞内外很多人都非常看衰哥伦比亚的前景,艾瑞克却对哥伦比亚的复苏充满了信心,毕竟,对于他来说,从好莱坞每时每刻都在酝酿的成百上千电影项目中挑选一些拥有大卖潜质的剧本给哥伦比亚,这简直是轻而易举的事情。 Just that words, to Bill Chanique's striking. 刚刚那番话,也只是对比尔・米查尼克的敲打。 Kenneth Horne saw this point obviously, can display unusual is relaxed. Bill Chanique was struck by Eric, will be naturally more attentive. 肯尼斯・霍恩显然看出了这一点,才会表现的非常轻松。比尔・米查尼克被艾瑞克敲打一番,自然也会更加用心。 As for the Adam Sandler's new piece, even if Box Office will explode to 200 million in the future greatly is even higher, Eric does not care, formulates the Hollywood interest distribution rule, absolutely is at heart more important than the temporary benefit success and failure in Eric. 至于亚当・桑德勒的新片,即使将来票房大爆到两亿甚至更高,艾瑞克也不在意,重新制定好莱坞的利益分配规则,在艾瑞克心里绝对比一时的利益得失更加重要。 Moreover, left the Firefly system, remaining three, Warner Bros., Paramount and Universal Pictures, may absolutely not have one probably. 而且,离开了萤火虫体系,剩下三家,华纳兄弟、派拉蒙、环球影业,可绝对没有一个好像与的。 As for that so-called ‚sudden entertainment’ single-handedly distributes, has completed the situation of media profession big conformity by Hollywood at present, the opposite party has such done will face seven big joint impeding absolutely, does not have the abundant advertisement resources, cannot attain enough institute line platform, Box Office of 100 million USD potential, can attain 50 million to be lucky. 至于那家所谓的‘突然娱乐’独力进行发行,以好莱坞目前已经完成了传媒行业大整合的形势,对方这么做绝对会面临七大的联合掣肘,没有充裕的广告资源,拿不到足够的院线平台,原本一亿美元潜力的票房,能拿到5000万就算幸运。 After all, the view filmmaker of each running schedule counts and ticket warehouse scale is fixed, a single-handedly company enters the arena, was equal to that big shears the meat from seven, who can want. 毕竟,每个档期的观影人数和票仓规模都是固定的,一家独力公司进场,就等于从七大身上割肉,谁会愿意。 It can be said that after new century, only if the policy of North America to media industry presents the fundamental change, otherwise, the Hollywood big Film Studio quantity will only reduce, will again not actually increase. 可以说,新世纪之后,除非北美对传媒业的政策出现根本性转变,否则,好莱坞大电影公司的数量只会减少,却不会再增加。 Leaves the dining room, Eric thinks on ventilates to the top layer clamping plank on, actually discovered that Harvey Weinstein and Robert Redford and the others have stood here, appearance that in the crowd is also standing Julia, girl originally talking and laughing merrily, sees Eric to appear, the makings transform suddenly, likely soft little wife rubs, pulls the arm of Eric affectionate. 离开餐厅,艾瑞克原本想上到顶层夹板上透透气,却发现哈维・韦恩斯坦、罗伯特・雷德福等人已经站在这里,人群里还站着茱莉亚,女郎原本一副谈笑风生的模样,看到艾瑞克出现,气质陡然转变,像个软软的小媳妇儿似的蹭过来,亲昵地挽住艾瑞克的手臂。 Everybody can feel that Julia's is unusual, does not have on a face to reveal any difference the expression. For these years, Julia has not cared about these obviously completely, in Eric woman, only then Julia dares not to care about any situation to wear that ruby ring completely shiningly in the hand, little has taken down. 大家都能够感觉到茱莉亚的异常,却没有一个人脸上露出什么异样的表情。这么多年来,茱莉亚显然也已经完全不在乎这些,艾瑞克的女人里,只有茱莉亚一个敢完全不在意任何场合地把那枚红宝石指环明晃晃地戴在手上,很少取下来过。 Feels on Julia the post of fibroin formal clothes to slide, Eric is smiling and everybody greets: „What was chatting?” 感受着茱莉亚身上丝质礼服的贴滑,艾瑞克微笑着和大家打招呼道:“都在聊什么？” „Sundance Film Festival,” Robert Redford said: „Is Eric, interested in going to Parker City ski, now can just be the time?” “圣丹斯电影节,”罗伯特・雷德福道:“艾瑞克,有没有兴趣去帕克城滑雪,现在可刚好是时候？” Robert Redford except for famous Hollywood director and Actor and so on beyond the status, is the famous Sundance Film Festival founder. 罗伯特・雷德福除了好莱坞知名导演和演员之类的身份外,还是大名鼎鼎的圣丹斯电影节创始人。 Eric is not interested in the ski, although knows that Robert Redford's meaning is to invite oneself attended the Sundance Film Festival, but he plans to shake the head the rejection. 艾瑞克对滑雪并不感兴趣,虽然知道罗伯特・雷德福的意思是邀请自己参加圣丹斯电影节,但他还是打算摇头拒绝。 Just about to opens the mouth, Julia gently has pulled his sleeves, some expression anticipation small sound tracks: „Eric, I promised Bob to attend the opening ceremony of Sundance Film Festival next week, did you and I go to be good together?” 只是,刚要开口,茱莉亚就轻轻扯了扯他的衣袖,语气有些期待地小声道:“艾瑞克,我答应鲍勃下周参加圣丹斯电影节的开幕式了,你和我一起去好不好？” Julia little raises anything to request, to hear the girl start to talk to Eric, Eric cannot have any rejection completely the thought that has to look to Robert Redford, said: „Therefore, Bob, next week's several?” 茱莉亚很少向艾瑞克提过什么要求,听到女郎开口,艾瑞克完全生不出任何拒绝的念头,只好又看向罗伯特・雷德福,道:“所以,鲍勃,下周几来着？” „Opening ceremony is on Thursday,” Robert Redford is concealing the expression on face as far as possible, said: „Opening ceremony is the evening is held, you passed on the same day.” “开幕式是周四,”罗伯特・雷德福尽可能地掩饰着脸上的表情,道:“开幕典礼是傍晚举行,你当天过去就可以。” „Good, I when the time comes bring Julia to have a look,” Eric nods, continues this topic: „What splendid movie this does have?” “那好吧,我到时候带茱莉亚去看看,”艾瑞克点点头,又继续这个话题道:“这一届有什么出色的影片吗？” „This,” Robert Redford said with a smile: „I thought that all film are good, but, conforms to your taste, wanted you to come to see.” “这个啊,”罗伯特・雷德福笑道:“我觉得所有片子都非常不错,只是,是不是符合你的口味,就要你自己来看了。” The objective of Sundance Film Festival is the prop single-handedly movie and new person recent work, one of the movie maximum characteristics, are the low costs. As at present Hollywood most successful commercial film Director, Robert is Redford is very difficult to judge Eric slightly will also produce the movie to be interested to these. 圣丹斯电影节的宗旨是扶植独力电影和新人新作,这些影片最大的特点之一,便是低成本。作为目前好莱坞最成功的商业片导演,罗伯特・雷德福很难判断艾瑞克是不是还会对这些小制作影片感兴趣。 Eric can also understand probably Robert the subtext in Redford words, said: „Actually, the production cost of movie is always not most important, I instead like that type by the small great movie.” 艾瑞克也能大概明白罗伯特・雷德福话语里的潜台词,道:“其实,电影的制作成本从来都不是最重要的,我反而更喜欢那种以小博大的影片。” Harvey Weinstein hears Eric these words, immediately shakes the head, said: „Eric, you said that everybody likes actually.” 哈维・韦恩斯坦听到艾瑞克这句话,顿时摇起头来,道:“艾瑞克,你说的,其实大家都喜欢。” Eric has gawked, has smiled, said: „Yes, everybody likes actually.” 艾瑞克愣了下,笑了起来,道:“是啊,其实大家都喜欢。” Chatted several, Eric brought Julia to leave the deck, walked while asked: „Leeds?” 谈笑了几句,艾瑞克就带着茱莉亚离开甲板,边走边问道:“利兹呢？” „She went to New York,” walked the corridor place in cabin, Julia pastes to Eric tightened, added: „Probably, was quarrels.” “她去纽约了,”走在船舱内的走廊处,茱莉亚向艾瑞克身上贴的更紧了一些,又补充道:“好像,是去吵架去了。” Eric one hear came interest, said: „Why quarrelled?” 艾瑞克一听就来了兴致,道:“为什么吵架？” Julia is blurry, said: „I do not know.” 茱莉亚却迷糊起来,道:“我不知道呢。” Although Murdoch in trade astute ruthless spicy, but always cannot be a severe father, otherwise, two sons long do not become the playboys. In most splendid Elizabeth regarding the children, old man is partial, Eric has not seen Elizabeth and father quarrels. 默多克虽然在商业上精明狠辣,但从来都不能算是一个严厉的父亲,要不然,两个儿子也不会长成纨绔。对于子女里最出色的伊丽莎白,老头子更是偏爱有加,艾瑞克也没见过伊丽莎白和自己父亲吵架。 Then, runs New York to quarrel specially, the object can only be some wonderful female. 那么,专门跑去纽约吵架,对象就只能是某个奇女子了。 Thinks when Elizabeth and girl bicker can by the pitiful condition of oppressively crying, Eric for her journey of this quarrelling slightly be worried about very much. 想想伊丽莎白和丫头斗嘴时都能被虐哭的惨状,艾瑞克很是为她这趟吵架之旅小小地担忧了一下。 Arrives at the lower-level main deck, Eric arrives by the self-service dinner table, takes up a dinner place with Julia one person, plans to eat a thing, asked: „consider as finished, did not say her, your new movie arranged how?” 来到下层主甲板,艾瑞克走到自助餐桌旁,和茱莉亚一人拿起一个餐盘,打算吃点东西,又问道:“算了,不说她了,你那部新电影筹备的怎么样了？” „Reached an agreement with Soderberg,” Julia is selecting food, said: „In March begins shooting, at the end of the year screens.” “已经和索德伯格谈好了,”茱莉亚挑拣着食物,道:“三月份开拍,年底上映。” Eric nods, says with a smile: „The Nicole «Moulin Rouge» running schedule advanced next year, this year estimated that and you snatched the movie queen on nobody.” 艾瑞克点点头,笑道:“妮可的《红磨坊》档期推到明年了,今年估计就没人和你抢影后了。” As a big manufacture musical film, Nicole «Moulin Rouge» hopes this summer the files screen, because of various dragging, summer the files is actually unable to complete, at the end of the year the running schedule is extremely also crowded, will also face the direct competition with Julia «Erin Brockovich», Fox then simply advanced next year the running schedule. 作为一部大制作歌舞片,妮可的《红磨坊》原本希望今年暑期档上映,但因为各种拖延,暑期档却无法完成,年底档期又太过拥挤,还会面临与茱莉亚《永不妥协》的直接竞争,福克斯便干脆将档期推到了明年。 They took food, under carries the dinner place to arrive in the deck furniture to be implicated, Julia said: „I do not care about the movie queen, Eric, you do not care is right?” 两人取了食物,端着餐盘走到甲板上一处桌椅旁坐下,茱莉亚道:“我才不在乎影后呢,艾瑞克,你也不在乎对不对？” Eric disguises to think that said with a smile: „Movie queen good.” 艾瑞克假装想了想,笑道:“还是影后好一点。” „Un, I take a movie queen,” the Julia expression in an instant becomes the difference, said: „Eric, if you cannot wait, currently on the ship has several movie queens.” “嗯,那我就拿个影后,”茱莉亚表情转眼又变得异样起来,道:“艾瑞克,如果你等不及的话,现在船上就有几个影后呢。” Eric imagines very much knocks the girl to knock on the Julia forehead equally, but surrounding person are many, has not acted, said: „Who, I how hasn't seen?” 艾瑞克很想像敲丫头一样在茱莉亚脑门上敲一下,只是周围人多,才没有动作,道:“都有谁啊,我怎么没看到？” Julia turns the head to look, the small hand refers, said: „Nà, «The Piano» movie queen, Houley Hunt, although she plays a mute in that movie, but, her sound is actually very of pleasant to hear.” 茱莉亚转头望了望,小手一指,道:“呐,《钢琴别恋》的影后,霍利・亨特,虽然她在那部电影里演一个哑巴,不过,她的声音其实很好听呢。”
