The Eric personal attendance view shade, lets «Roller Running» media attention immediately has surmounted at this Sundance Film Festival other movies. 艾瑞克的亲自出席观影,立刻让《罗拉快跑》的媒体关注度超越了这一届圣丹斯电影节上其他所有影片。 Originally, film executive's estimate value to «Roller Running» North America distribution rights generally in 5 million USD, but is only a afternoon passes, it is said the offer of Hollywood Film Studio to this movie has pressed up to surely the critical junction. 原本,片商对《罗拉快跑》北美发行权的估值普遍在500万美元以内,但只是一下午过去,据说好莱坞电影公司对这部电影的报价就已经直逼千万大关。 Before then, the Sundance Film Festival did not have any movie to sell the 10 million USD above high price, «Roller Running» very obviously becomes a Sundance Film Festival in history rate highest movie. 在此之前,圣丹斯电影节还没有任何一部电影能够卖到1000万美元以上的高价,《罗拉快跑》很明显将成为圣丹斯电影节有史以来成交价最高的一部影片。 Meanwhile, as Eric presents the news at Sundance Film Festival further ferments, multimedia and film-maker also starts to gather to Parker City, the small town between this Utah mountain ranges instantaneously becomes popular. 同时,随着艾瑞克出现在圣丹斯电影节上的消息进一步发酵,更多媒体和电影人也开始向帕克城聚集,这座犹他州山峦间的小城瞬间变得热门起来。 Although Julia discarded conveniently has written the «The Blair Witch Project» propaganda pamphlet of inventor contact method, so long as remembered the name, wanted to take this movie, the nature regarding Eric was easy. 虽然茱莉亚随手丢掉了写着创作人联系方式的《女巫布莱尔》宣传单,但只要记得名字,想要拿下这部电影,对于艾瑞克来说自然轻而易举。 When the majority of Hollywood film executives the attention will focus in bidding for «Roller Running» as well as Eric when other movie showing events that Williams possibly can attend, the new line Film Industry buying piece team not making a sound had found in Parker City everywhere to two youth who the film executive sells oneself film. 当大部分好莱坞片商都将注意力聚焦在竞购《罗拉快跑》以及艾瑞克・威廉姆斯可能会出席的其他影片放映活动时,新线影业的购片团队不声不响地找到了正在帕克城到处向片商推销自己电影作品的两个青年。 „Mr. Williams, this is the «The Blair Witch Project» copy, for the convenience watches, I make the person record DVD temporarily.” “威廉姆斯先生,这就是《女巫布莱尔》的拷贝,为了方便观看,我临时让人刻录了一份DVD。” Next afternoon, new line Film Industry bought piece of unit Manager Moray Prek Toch personally to deliver the thing that Eric needed. 第二天下午,新线影业的购片部经理莫瑞・布雷多就亲自将艾瑞克需要的东西送了过来。 Although after having watched the «The Blair Witch Project» preview , the Moray Prek Toch's first feeling only then two character trash, but he fulfilled duty to fulfill responsibility has completed the task of Eric arrangement, simultaneously did fully the schoolwork. After all, can be Big Boss works personally, so long as the people of some work place ambitions know how slightly should seize the opportunity. 虽然看过《女巫布莱尔》样片之后莫瑞・布雷多的第一感觉就只有两个字垃圾,但他还是尽职尽责地完成了艾瑞克布置的任务,同时做足了功课。毕竟,能够亲自为大老板做事,只要稍微有些职场野心的人都知道该怎么抓住机会。 Sets out the coffee that respectfully received Julia to hand over, after Moray Prek Toch expressed gratitude, sits down, looks that takes up Eric that «The Blair Witch Project» story illustration material read, continued saying: „I look at the project plan that two Director have made, they gave this record laminated form -type movie to form in one's mind very perfect background setting, confused falsehood with the truth completely. I thought that if can treat as the publicity material this movie, then produces a terrifying movie according to this story background idea script, Box Office should be good.” 恭敬地起身接过茱莉亚递过来的咖啡,莫瑞・布雷多道谢后重新坐下,看着拿起那份《女巫布莱尔》故事注解资料翻看的艾瑞克,继续道:“我看过两位导演做的项目策划,他们给这部纪录片形式的电影构思了非常完善的背景设定,完全以假乱真。我觉得,如果能把这部影片当做宣传资料,然后根据这个故事背景构思剧本制作一部恐怖电影,票房应该非常不错。” Eric is smiling nod, hinted under DVD on tea table toward Julia, before the girl then took arrived at the television of living room, the small dish piece has admitted the player, then came back, by Eric, looked forthrightly curiously to the television screen. 艾瑞克只是微笑着点点头,朝茱莉亚示意了下茶几上的DVD,女郎便拿起来走到客厅的电视机前,将碟片放进了播放器,然后重新回来,毫不避讳地靠在艾瑞克旁边,好奇地望向电视屏幕。 Looks that the movie on screen starts to broadcast, Moray Prek Toch also together looked at the past. 看着屏幕上的影片开始播放,莫瑞・布雷多也一起望过去。 In similar captions introduction after propaganda pamphlet, the rough DV production picture appears on the television screen. Carefully looks like, meaning that the imitation record laminated form -type movie plot somewhat proceeds in an orderly way very much, three little friends have made backgrounder to the The Blair Witch Project legend first, but also the ghost had the explanation has put out one set of evidence chain, afterward was to Bucher Severe small town resident ‚interview’. Completes all these, leads into the audience this sorceress story legend fully, three talented people step the distance of exploration. 和宣传单上类似的字幕介绍后,粗糙的DV摄制画面出现在电视屏幕上。仔细看来,模仿纪录片形式的影片情节很有几分循序渐进的意味,三个小伙伴先是对女巫布莱尔的传说做了一番背景介绍,还煞有解释的拿出了一整套证据链,随后是对布克斯维尔小镇居民的‘采访’。做完这一切,将观众充分带入到这个女巫故事传说中,三个人才踏上探险的路程。 After entering the jungle, various conditions stream, totem that the map and on the tent that surrounding stone piles and trees the inexplicable dispute, loses are hanging...... Finally, a member is missing inexplicably, finally substitutes the plot high - tide. 进入丛林之后,各种状况就纷至沓来,莫名的争执、丢失的地图、帐篷周围的石堆、树木上悬挂的图腾……最后,其中一个队员莫名失踪,终于将情节代入最高-潮。 If fully does not understand the background story, watches this movie, will feel to be confused absolutely bewilderedly, Julia obviously is this. 如果完全不了解背景故事,看完这部影片,绝对会感觉一头雾水莫名其妙,茱莉亚明显就是这样。 In the television presents the tail leader captions, relies on cannot bear hug the arm of man in Eric girl, brings several points are acting like a spoiled brat saying: „Eric, we must lose.” 当电视里出现片尾字幕,倚在艾瑞克身上的女郎就忍不住搂着男人的手臂,带着几分撒娇似的说道:“艾瑞克,我们要输了呢。” Moray Prek Toch has paid eight ten thousand USD for this movie, hears the Julia's words, he somewhat guessed faintly, but does not dare to ask, but transfers once more has come to see to Eric, waits for the Big Boss start to talk. 莫瑞・布雷多为这部影片支付了八万美元,听到茱莉亚的话,他隐隐有些猜测,但也不敢多问,只是再次转过来看向艾瑞克,等待大老板开口。 Can discard to trash front this directly? 或许会直接把面前这对垃圾丢掉吧？ Moray Prek Toch cannot bear think, he can think that only to the utilization of this story, just said that forms in one's mind according to the story background again a horror film. On these film copies as for front tea table and movie materials and so on, as if do not have any value. 莫瑞・布雷多心里忍不住想着,他唯一能够想到对这个故事的利用方式,就是刚刚所说,重新根据故事背景构思一部恐怖片。至于面前茶几上的这些胶片拷贝、影片资料之类,似乎没有任何价值。 After all, if Maryland has the The Blair Witch Project legend, like other vampire and so on ancient hearsay, propagandizes slightly, making the audience have the curiosity and substitution feeling, perhaps can also make this movie have some incomes. 毕竟,如果马里兰州真的存在女巫布莱尔传说,就像其他一些吸血鬼之类的古老传闻一样,稍微宣传一番,让观众产生好奇心和代入感,或许还能够让这部电影产生一些收益。 But in fact, the The Blair Witch Project legend is two Director fictionalizes completely, without any popularity foundation, company not too possible for this tens of thousands USD low cost DV movie, wages a war propagandizes a false story legend, such completely in the waste resources and time, the possibility that finally loss is also enormous. 但实际上,女巫布莱尔的传说完全是两个导演虚构的,没有任何人气基础,公司也不太可能为了这个几万美元的低成本DV影片,就大动干戈地去宣传一个虚假的故事传说,那样完全是在浪费资源和时间,最终血本无归的可能性也极大。 Eric and other film put, has pondered the moment peacefully, to waiting for Moray of instruction lays mines multi-channel: „Moray, gives you three days of time, with all Actor in inventor, investor and even movie this movie, signs a complete contract, solves this movie all latent legal dispute problems. Moreover, lets that two Director, Daniel Merrick and Ide are many Sanchi this, goes to Los Angeles, one side I can see with them next Wednesday, was right, distributes the department to reassign a group from the company to them, does not use too officially, the practice is born with, arranges an office in the Firefly cinema city to these people. Temporarily only then these, you go back first.” 艾瑞克等片子放完,安静地思考了片刻,就对等待吩咐的莫瑞・布雷多道:“莫瑞,给你三天时间,和这部影片的创作人、投资人乃至影片中的所有演员,都重新签署一份完整的合约,解决这部影片所有潜在的法律纠纷问题。另外,让那两个导演,丹尼尔・麦里克和艾德亚多・桑奇兹,去洛杉矶,我下周三会和他们见一面,对了,从公司发行部门抽调一个小组给他们,不用太正式,实习生就可以,在萤火虫影城给这些人安排一间办公室。暂时只有这些,你先回去吧。” Although is not fully correct the Big Boss thoughts completely, Moray Prek Toch earnestly nods, wrote down the matter, then sets out to say goodbye to leave. 虽然完全猜不透大老板的心思,莫瑞・布雷多还是认真地点点头,将事情记了下来,然后起身告辞离开。 The conducting time of this Sundance Film Festival from January 21 by January 31, but, are getting more and more along with the media and film-maker of small town accumulation, Eric gets up in the morning in the close resort and Julia takes a walk, can ‚meeting by chance’ some people, in addition really have nothing to play, therefore the morning starts to leave on Sunday, returned to Los Angeles. 这一届圣丹斯电影节的举办时间从1月21日到1月31日,不过,随着小城聚集的媒体和电影人越来越多,艾瑞克早上起来在封闭的度假村里和茱莉亚散个步,都能‘偶遇’一些人,再加上实在没什么可玩的,于是周日上午就启程离开,返回了洛杉矶。 The Eric temporary decision places as the 3 D transformation movie «Underworld» will screen at the beginning of next year, fills «The Lord of the Rings First Tune» and running schedule blank between «Sleepy Hollow», although the new line therefore needs to make the adjustment to the established issuance plan, Kenneth Horne has not opposed the decision of Eric. 艾瑞克临时决定将《黑夜传说》作为3D转制影片放在明年初上映,填补《魔戒首部曲》和《断头谷》之间的档期空白,虽然新线因此需要对既定的发行计划做出调整,肯尼斯・霍恩也没有反对艾瑞克的决定。 The Firefly cinema city, in the busy work, approaches on Wednesday in an instant. 萤火虫影城,忙碌的工作中,周三转眼来临。 Eric pulls out the time and «Underworld» Lord in the morning exactly creates as well as the digital domain 3 D transformation team discussed that the late 3 D transformation item of movie, Kenneth Horne specially has also caught up. Therefore, at noon Eric then invited Kenneth pigeon Wu several people that Horne as well as did not see for a long time the dining room on steamship dined together. 艾瑞克上午恰好抽时间和《黑夜传说》的主创以及数字领域的3D转制团队一起讨论影片的后期3D转制事项,肯尼斯・霍恩也特意赶了过来。于是,中午艾瑞克便邀请肯尼斯・霍恩以及好久不见的白鸽吴几人一起在大船上的餐厅用餐。 The point ends the lunch, gives this it is said named Amy the menu Adams's round cheek attendant, Kenneth Horne swept an opposite to sit in Eric nearby Natasha docilely Henss, has to envy at heart once more good fortune in romance of Boss, on the mouth said: „Eric, Moray said that you have bought a DV documentary film in Parker City?” 点完午餐,将菜单递给身旁这位据说名叫艾米・亚当斯的圆脸蛋侍应生,肯尼斯・霍恩扫了眼对面温顺地坐在艾瑞克旁边的娜塔莎・亨斯屈奇,心里不得不再次羡慕一下自家老板的艳福,嘴上却道:“艾瑞克,莫瑞说你在帕克城买了一部DV纪录片？” Eric nods, smiles was looking that Natasha pours into own bottled mineral water the crystal cup, has not prevented, said: „I planned that made a marketing to test, the person who needed you helps me prepare?” 艾瑞克点点头,微笑着看娜塔莎将自己的瓶装矿泉水倒进水晶杯里,也没有阻止,说道:“我打算做一次营销实验,需要的人你都帮我准备好了吗？” „Naturally, finishing eating the lunch can make Miss Wilson lead you to pass, said that I do not have anything to work in the afternoon, or made me also in the past have a look, I was very actually curious.” “当然,吃完午餐可以让威尔逊小姐带你过去,说起来,我下午也没什么工作,要不让我也过去看看,我倒是挺好奇的。” „Do not mix,” Eric shakes the head, cracks a joke saying: „But, you in front of your Boss said that what does not have to work to do, is reminding me to add some shoulder poles to you?” “你就不要掺和了,”艾瑞克摇头,开玩笑道:“不过,你在自己老板面前说没什么工作可做,是在提醒我给你加一些担子吗？” „, What had I just said?” Kenneth Horne plays the fool with a smile: „What hadn't I just said?” “啊,我刚刚说过什么吗？”肯尼斯・霍恩笑着装傻:“我刚刚什么都没说吧？” Everybody has smiled, Eric does not have to sit in Kenneth nearby pigeon Wu desolately, asked: „Was Wu, what busy at recently?” 大家笑了起来,艾瑞克也没有冷落坐在肯尼斯旁边的白鸽吴,问道:“吴,最近在忙什么？” „With Columbia was discussing that a cooperation of new piece, acting the leading role from our Hong Kong Island good Actor, the name is «Substitute person Killer» temporarily, is looking at present still for Director,” pigeon Wu say|way: „Eric, that Actor is not worse than Jack in the status of Hong Kong Island, Box Office will be definitely good.” “正在和哥伦比亚谈一部新片的合作,是来自我们港岛一位不错演员的主演的,名字暂时叫做《替身杀手》,目前还在找导演,”白鸽吴道:“艾瑞克,那位演员在港岛的地位一点都不比杰克差,票房肯定会不错的。” Eric cannot bear smile, few days ago he bumped into Mira Sorvino, but also thinks how again she and sends «Substitute person Killer» that the elder brother cooperates does not have the shadow, has not thought that such quickly appeared. 艾瑞克忍不住笑了笑,前些日子他碰到米拉・索维诺,还再想她和发哥合作的《替身杀手》怎么没有影子,没想到这么快就出现了。 Had not seen the project material that side Columbia submits, wants to come the project not to make a final decision finally, meaning that Eric has not meddled, but said: „Wu, you cannot always be the producer, is Director your labor of duty?” 还没有看到哥伦比亚那边提交的项目资料,想来项目还没有最终敲定,艾瑞克也没有插手的意思,只是道:“吴,你不能总是做制片人,导演才是你的本职工作吧？” „This is natural,” pigeon Wu say|way: „My manager few days ago recommended war piece script to give me, I looked thought good, planned to attempt, but needs to finish these work in hand to say first again.” “这是当然,”白鸽吴道:“我的经纪人前些日子推荐了一部战争片剧本给我,我看了觉得不错,打算尝试一下,只是需要先忙完手中的这些工作再说。” Hears pigeon Wu's war piece script, the Eric corner of the eye cannot bear jumps, won't be that once almost «Windtalkers» that the Metro Goldwyn Mayer pit went bankrupt? 听到白鸽吴的战争片剧本,艾瑞克眼角就是忍不住一跳,不会是那部曾经差点把米高梅坑破产的《风语者》吧？ The subconsciousness shook the head, Eric said: „Wu, your not suitable war piece, I to think that you make the action movie that oneself excel at to be best.” 下意识摇了摇头,艾瑞克道:“吴,你不适合战争片,我觉得你还是做自己擅长的动作片最好。” Pigeon Wu has not thought that as if has favored to oneself has Eric of in addition to say suddenly, some god, but quick smoothly nodded, said: „I considered again.” 白鸽吴没想到似乎一直都对自己青睐有加的艾瑞克会突然这么说,有些愣神,但很快就圆滑地点了点头,道:“那我再考虑考虑。” The successes of consecutively several big pieces, although is the Chinese, pigeon Wu actually the success promotion is Hollywood Director, even if left the Firefly system, he can also achieve the cooperation with other Film Studio. 连续几部大片的成功,虽然是华裔,白鸽吴却已经成功晋升为好莱坞一线导演,即使离开了萤火虫体系,他也能够和其他电影公司达成合作。 Eric can see that the opposite party does not plan easily to give up this project, he has not urged, the road is elects, naturally, the consequence also needs to undertake. 艾瑞克能够看出对方不打算轻易放弃这个项目,他也没有多劝,路都是自己选的,当然,后果也需要自己承担。 Has the lunch together, pigeon Wu Xian has said goodbye to leave, Eric warm word several also sent Natasha Henss, to Kenneth Huo Endao: „You passed on to everybody, Wu's that war piece, we did not participate, naturally, do not stir it yellow, advanced other Film Studio there to be best.” 一起吃过午餐,白鸽吴先告辞离开,艾瑞克温言几句也打发走了娜塔莎・亨斯屈奇,才对肯尼斯・霍恩道:“你转告一下大家,吴的那部战争片,我们不参与,当然,也不要把它搅黄了,推到其他电影公司那里最好。” Kenneth Horne has doubts very much: „Eric, «Saving Private Ryan» Box Office several years ago was good, Wu's directing ability also had the safeguard, why didn't try?” 肯尼斯・霍恩却是很疑惑:“艾瑞克,前几年的《拯救大兵瑞恩》票房非常不错,吴的执导能力也有保障,为什么不试试？” „Each Director has the domain that oneself excel,” Eric shakes the head, said: „I did not think that Wu can make a war piece, in brief, considers my feeling, we do not participate in this project.” “每一个导演都有自己擅长的领域,”艾瑞克摇头,道:“我不觉得吴能拍好一部战争片,总之,就当是我个人的感觉吧,咱们不参与这个项目。” Kenneth Horne has to nod, suddenly also said: „Said that Eric, your as if what movie type excels, is this uncommon?” 肯尼斯・霍恩只好点点头,突然又道:“说起来,艾瑞克,你似乎什么电影类型都擅长啊,这可不常见？” Eric shrugs, says with a smile: „Therefore I am Boss, you must work to me.” 艾瑞克耸耸肩,笑道:“所以我是老板,你得给我工作。” „Volume, good.” “额,好吧。” Eric remembers the matter of Sundance, asked: „That «Roller Running» situation how, if can take, just can fill the neutral gear that you «Underworld» leaves behind?” 艾瑞克想起圣丹斯的事情,又问道:“那部《罗拉快跑》的情况怎么样了,如果能够拿下来,刚好可以填补你这边《黑夜传说》留下的空档？” „Bill has called several of us, Columbia wants this movie, that side offer is 11 million USD, everybody discussed that did not snatch with him,” Kenneth Huo Endao: „But, if other three offer to surpass this price, Columbia will also give up.” “比尔给我们几个打过电话,哥伦比亚想要这部电影,那边的报价是1100万美元,大家商量了一下,就不和他抢了,”肯尼斯・霍恩道:“不过,如果其他三家报价超过这个价格,哥伦比亚也会放弃。” „This is also good,” Eric said: „After all is only a single-handedly movie, but also has the North America distribution rights, too high also gain does not equal the loss.” “这样也好,”艾瑞克道:“毕竟只是一部独力电影,还只有北美发行权,太高了也得不偿失。” They were chatting, arrived at administrative area together, Carolyn and Meyer holds a folder to wait downstairs administration that in the Eric office was, Kenneth Horne then said goodbye to return to his office. 两人聊着,一起来到行政区,卡洛琳和梅耶尔一人捧着一个文件夹已经等在艾瑞克办公室所在的行政楼下,肯尼斯・霍恩便告辞返回自己的办公室。 Eric arrives in front of two females, asked several, three people arrive at another office building together. 艾瑞克来到两女面前,问了几句,三人一起来到另外一栋办公楼。 The office door was shoved open, in the room several manner cautious men also set out immediately, look to appearing in that youth of entrance. 办公室房门被推开,房间里几个神态拘谨的男男女女立刻同时起身,望向出现在门口的那位青年。 Eric heard «The Blair Witch Project» two Director in the school student, but also thinks that they will be young, but in fact, Daniel Merrick or Ide are many Sanchi this, the age even be older than him, is bringing Daniel of non- frame eyeglasses Merrick this year already 35 year, Ide are many Sanchi this also already full 30 year. 艾瑞克原本听说《女巫布莱尔》的两位导演是在校学生,还以为他们会非常年轻,但实际上,无论是丹尼尔・麦里克还是艾德亚多・桑奇兹,年龄甚至都要比他还大,带着一副无框眼镜的丹尼尔・麦里克今年已经三十五岁了,艾德亚多・桑奇兹也已经满三十岁。 Although Eric initially told that Moray Prek Toch looks for several practices born with, but several staff in room obviously are not the company ordinary interns, Moray Prek Toch also appears in the office, gave Eric to introduce one personally this small team. 虽然艾瑞克当初吩咐莫瑞・布雷多找几个实习生就好,但房间里的几个工作人员显然都不是公司普通的实习生,莫瑞・布雷多也出现在办公室里,亲自给艾瑞克介绍了一番这个小团队。 Eric naturally cannot care about Moray Prek Toch's these arrangements, since the opposite party wants to lead this project personally, mutually after the introduction, he has not made the opposite party leave the office, is default. 艾瑞克自然不会在意莫瑞・布雷多的这些安排,既然对方想要亲自主导这个项目,相互介绍之后,他也没有让对方离开办公室,算是默认。 Carolyn and Meyer will print the good material to apportion office several people ahead of time, everybody sits in a circle by spacious meeting table, before Eric arrives prepares the good writing board beforehand, said: „Nà, my time is limited, therefore, only gives everybody saying that in detailed material your front documents has, if not clear afterward, that mutually discussed that do not look for me. This time, regarding «The Blair Witch Project», I plans to do a marketing experiment of Internet platform, considered that this marketing pattern special effect, I gave it to give a name.” 卡洛琳和梅耶尔将提前打印好的资料分给了办公室几人,大家围坐在一张宽大的会议桌旁,艾瑞克走到事先准备好的写字板前,道:“呐,我时间有限,所以,只给大家讲一遍,详细的资料你们面前的文件里都有,如果事后还不明白,那就相互讨论,不要找我。这次,对于《女巫布莱尔》,我打算做一次互联网平台的营销实验,考虑到这种营销模式的特效,我给它起了一个名字。” Eric was saying, took the pen to write down two words on the writing board: Viral marketing. 艾瑞克说着,拿起水笔在写字板上写下了两个单词:病毒营销。
