#121: Cruise leaves

If «Road House» is a blasting fuse, then Richard Gere published that interview on «Hollywood Reporter» has become Mars of its ignition. 如果说《威龙杀阵》是一根导火索的话,那么理查・基尔发表在《好莱坞信息报》上的那篇访谈就成了将其点燃的火星。 On the same day that this interview publishes, the Creative Artists Agency spokesman on the media refutes Richard the opinion of Gere ignores talking nonsense of fact completely, and vowed solemnly that stated that if the opposite party expresses these irresponsible opinions again, Creative Artists Agency will resort to the legal means to want the justice for oneself. 在这篇访谈发表的当天,CAA的发言人就在媒体上反驳理查・基尔的言论是完全罔顾事实的胡说八道,并且信誓旦旦地声明如果对方再发表这些不负责任的言论,CAA将诉诸法律手段为自己讨回公道。 Although many people can look, Richard the statement of only one of the parties that the opinion of Gere under the indignant difficult draw, to place ‚victim’ in the angle has delivered, in its opinion many loopholes, so long as some the people of industry knowledge can puncture easily. But this cannot hinder some facts of media to his opinion to carry on the depth excavation. 虽然很多人都看得出来,理查・基尔的言论是在气愤难平之下,将自己放在了一个‘受害人’的角度上所发表的一面之词,其言论中很多漏洞只要有一些行业知识的人都可以轻易戳破。但这并不能妨碍媒体对他言论中一些事实进行深度挖掘。 The gossip strength is strong, therefore, starting from, on the media starts to appear next day deeply digs up Michael Ovitz and Kapoor the article of Sid gratitude and grudges inside story, Kapoor Sid after being separated from Creative Artists Agency, is difficult in Hollywood, was almost compelled also again to be exposed toward the Europe matter. 八卦的力量是强大的,于是,第二天开始,媒体上开始出现深扒迈克尔・奥维茨与卡普尔・希德恩怨内幕的文章,卡普尔・希德在脱离CAA之后,在好莱坞寸步难行,几乎被逼往欧洲的事情也再次被曝光了出来。 Although Creative Artists Agency grew is a lofty tree, but also has any black history, in addition it forcefully ties up the strategy of sale, definitely will cause the failures of some movies, these failures were dug up to draw by the media naturally. CAA虽然已经成长为一颗参天大树,但也不是没有任何黑历史,再加上其强行捆绑销售的策略,肯定会导致一些电影的失败,这些失败自然而然地就被媒体扒拉了出来。 «Pities Quarrel To become enemies from Clearheadedness, Past events that Two Trump card manager Have to Say» 《从惺惺相惜到反目成仇,两位王牌经纪人不得不说的往事》 «Ten Big Suffering Movie under Creative Artists Agency Bundle Sale» 《CAA捆绑销售下的十大受害电影》 After «Joins Creative Artists Agency, Nine Big superstar Inventorying that Gradually Declines» 《加入CAA后,逐渐没落的九大巨星盘点》 «Evil behind-the-scenes manipulator who Lets Film and television Industry cost suddenly to increase, Hollywood Ten Years of Movie Cost Contrast» 《让影视行业成本暴增的黑手,好莱坞十年电影成本对比》 «Destroyer of Profession Rule» 《行业规则的破坏者》 ...... …… As discredits the Creative Artists Agency article to be getting more and more, demonized Creative Artists Agency unrest unknowingly started. 随着抹黑CAA的文章越来越多,一股妖魔化CAA的风潮不知不觉中就那么开始了。 Creative Artists Agency these years growing strong, not only has extruded other Hollywood Brokerage Firm existing space seriously, but, Michael one set of bundle sales strategy of Ovitz invention, makes Hollywood many Film Studio be miserable beyond description. Creative Artists Agency not only makes the star salary dramatically increase, but also because of the bundle strategy, Film Studio has to pay surpasses the cost of budget massively. CAA这些年的发展壮大,不但严重挤压了其他好莱坞经纪公司的生存空间,而且,迈克尔・奥维茨发明的一整套捆绑销售策略,也让好莱坞很多电影公司苦不堪言。CAA不但让明星片酬大幅度增加,而且因为捆绑策略,电影公司又不得不付出大量超出预算的成本。 Hollywood six big film giants slightly are good, usually with the confrontation of Creative Artists Agency, but can also attain the majority of right to speak, but a large number of Hollywood 23 Film Studio, as well as these alone | set up the film-maker, absolutely did not have the strength of resisting in the face of the Creative Artists Agency bundle strategy, they may not have the fame and energy that Eric that each movie greatly sells, therefore can only accept the Creative Artists Agency bundle condition obediently. 好莱坞六大电影巨头还稍微好一点,通常与CAA的交锋中,还能拿到大部分的话语权,而数量众多的好莱坞23线电影公司,以及那些独丨立电影人,在CAA的捆绑策略面前就完全没有了招架之力,他们可没有艾瑞克那种每一部电影都大卖的名气和底气,因此只能乖乖地接受CAA的捆绑条件。 Numerous Brokerage Firm and huge Film Studio community, innumerable alone | sets up the film-maker, finally also from sells the TV series project quite to have the television media of veiled criticism to the Creative Artists Agency bundle, even if these strengths any if catches up, uses the strength in oneself hand to discredit Creative Artists Agency, sufficed Creative Artists Agency to drink a pot well, let alone these time was almost all strengths in the situation, in completely not having communicated, Basic Instinct caught up. 为数众多的经纪公司、庞大的电影公司群体,数不清的独丨立电影人,最后还有一股来自对CAA捆绑销售电视剧项目颇有微词的电视媒体,这几股力量即使任何一股如果发力,利用自己手中的力量对CAA进行抹黑,都够CAA好好喝一壶了,更何况这一次几乎是所有力量在完全没有沟通的情况下,本能地发力。 Naturally, has a person of publication to support the opinion of Creative Artists Agency, some Actor of Creative Artists Agency when accepts the interview, more or less was Creative Artists Agency said several words of praise, after all, Creative Artists Agency enhanced the Film Studio movie-making cost, but biggest beneficiary truly these Actor. But these sounds basically do not have flood any spray, because mainly under the operation of that several strength, downplayed the support opinion of Creative Artists Agency stars desirably. 当然,也不是没有人发表支持CAA的言论,CAA旗下的一些演员都在接受采访的时候,或多或少地为CAA说了几句好话,毕竟,CAA提高了电影公司的制片成本,而最大的受益者确实这些演员。但这些声音基本上都没有泛起任何浪花,主要还是因为那几股力量的操纵下,刻意淡化了CAA明星们的支持言论。 Although Creative Artists Agency also has the media public relations strength of force, but in this unrest, the strength in hand basically has not played anything to affect, completely is the condition that one type is scolded passively. CAA虽然也拥有强力的媒体公关力量,但在这股风潮中,手中的力量基本上没起到什么作用,完全是一种被动挨骂的状态。 Because of the «Road House» Box Office disastrous defeat, but the badly battered United Artists high level jumped suddenly, according to Richard the Gere interview content, puts the blame on the responsibility of «Road House» this movie failure on Creative Artists Agency, even threatened that must sue for damages to lose from Creative Artists Agency, naturally, this matter is impossible to succeed, United Artists needs to look for a scapegoat for tens of millions USD investment failures. Creative Artists Agency on keenest struggle is just right, is a mouth weaponry. 紧接着,因为《威龙杀阵》的票房惨败而焦头烂额的联美高层突然跳了出来,依据理查・基尔的访谈内容,将《威龙杀阵》这部电影失败的责任归咎于CAA身上,甚至扬言要向CAA索赔损失,当然,这种事情根本不可能成功,联美只是需要为数千万美元投资失败找一个替罪羊而已。风口浪尖上的CAA正好合适,接下来就又是一番嘴仗。 But meanwhile, in this unrest, other Hollywood several Brokerage Firm has the tacit understanding to brandish the hoe very much as if by prior agreement, within short one week, Creative Artists Agency continuously more than 20 23 Actor leave, if this has not caused any damage to Creative Artists Agency, the matter that then has, has actually caused a turbulence in Creative Artists Agency. 而同时,在这股风潮之中,好莱坞其他几家经纪公司很有默契地不约而同挥舞起锄头,短短一个星期之内,CAA就连续有20多位23线演员出走,如果这都还没有对CAA造成任何伤害的话,那么接下来发生的事情,却在CAA内部引起了一阵动荡。 The reason is Tom Cruise suddenly announced that was separated from Creative Artists Agency! 原因是汤姆・克鲁斯突然宣布脱离CAA了！ Tom who is Cruise? 汤姆・克鲁斯是谁？ Hollywood most has popularity idol star, since has made a debut, the shoots many movies have almost not let slip, most movie that he plays the lead in takes very small cost to earn the huge profit as Film Studio, 86 «Top Gun», at 1000 ten thousand USD costs, have taken global 350 million USD Box Office. But is recent 《Rain Man》 while attaining high quota Box Office, obtained many Oscar nominations, Hollywood of 《Premiere》 magazine evaluation most has in the power and influence character list, Tom Cruise by a Actor status, depends on the foreland to advance into one crowd of Film Studio high-level and big Director and among gold medal Producer. 好莱坞最具人气的偶像明星,出道以来,拍摄的多部影片几乎没有失手过,他主演的大部电影都以很小的成本为电影公司赚取了巨额利润,86的《壮志凌云》,以1000多万美元的成本,拿下了全球3.5亿美元的票房。而最近一部《雨人》在拿到高额票房的同时,也获得了多项奥斯卡提名,《首映》杂志评选的好莱坞最有权势人物名单中,汤姆・克鲁斯以一个演员的身份,非常靠前地跻身一群电影公司高层、大导演、金牌制作人之间。 Departure of this ultra A level superstar, in industry in has not created mighty waves accidentally. But Tom departure of Cruise, actually also has not the small relations with this disturbance. 这种超A级巨星的离开,毫无意外地在业内造成了一股波澜。而汤姆・克鲁斯的离开,其实跟这场风波也有不小的关系。 Because of this demonized Creative Artists Agency disturbance, media , after Richard Gere expressed the sympathy, some people shift the vision to the Eric new piece two actors' negotiations. Quick, in the depth of media digs up with the coordination of person with high aspirations , the salary condition of two Creative Artists Agency put forward was exposed. 因为这场妖魔化CAA风波,媒体在对理查・基尔表示了同情之后,就有人将目光转移到艾瑞克新片两位男主角的谈判上。很快,在媒体的深扒和有心人的配合下,CAA提出的两人的片酬条件被曝光了出来。 „The 6 million USD salary adds 20% gain sharing, this robbed initial price also only then Creative Artists Agency this type sporty ‚big company’ can think, this is Creative Artists Agency wants to let Eric obviously again suggestion that Williams gives way before difficulties. It seems like that after experiencing 《Pretty Woman》, Michael Mr. Ovitz as before to ‚forcing out’ Eric Williams this laughable idea never forgets. Wants through this impractical initial price, stirs yellow Eric Williams and Tom Cruise and Tom cooperation of Hanks two superstar. Some time ago Richard Mr. Gere said that Creative Artists Agency started to regard the words that the board game piece in hand organized Actor not to be aimless.” “600万美元片酬加20%的利润分成,这种抢劫般的开价也只有CAA这种底气十足的‘大公司’才会想得出来,这明显是CAA想要再次让艾瑞克・威廉姆斯知难而退的暗示。看来,经历了《风月》之后,迈克尔・奥维茨先生依旧对‘封杀’艾瑞克・威廉姆斯这个可笑的想法念念不忘。想要通过这种不切实际的开价,搅黄艾瑞克・威廉姆斯与汤姆・克鲁斯和汤姆・汉克斯两位巨星的合作。不久前理查・基尔先生所说的,CAA已经开始将演员当成手中的棋子来摆布的话并不是无的放矢。” Actually, these days during Creative Artists Agency to with unceasingly has been making concessions about Cruise and Hanks salary negotiations. Before «Road House» screens, the share proportion that Creative Artists Agency requests fell 12%, media Creative Artists Agency initial offer exposure time, the gain sharing proportion that the opposite party requests fell 10%. 其实,这段时间CAA对与关于克鲁斯和汉克斯片酬谈判一直都在不断地退让当中。在《威龙杀阵》上映之前,CAA所要求的分成比例已经降到了12%,媒体将CAA最初的报价曝光的时候,对方所要求的利润分成比例又降到了10%。 Although after the initial condition exposes, Creative Artists Agency has made clarification immediately, expressed that two superstar current offers are not high, but the media held this matter to make an issue repeatedly, some analysts have also expressed their view on newspaper, expressed that if Creative Artists Agency this share pattern were popular, will create the Film Studio movie-making cost while further increased, the profit space large scale compression, wanted to realize the profit more difficult. Under this condition, will definitely dampen the enthusiasm of Hollywood Film Studio manufacture movie, is bringing the fatal blow to America in the movie industry of fast recovery. 虽然最初条件曝光之后,CAA立刻做了澄清,表示两位巨星目前的报价并没有那么高,但媒体却抓住了这件事反复做文章,一些分析师也在报纸上发表了自己的看法,表示如果CAA这种分成模式流行起来,会造成电影公司制片成本在进一步增加的同时,利润空间大幅度压缩,想要实现盈利就更加困难。这种状况下,肯定会影响好莱坞电影公司制作电影的积极性,对美利坚正在快速复苏的电影产业带来致命打击。 Some media even start to appeal that federal government investigates the behavior of Creative Artists Agency this harassment film market. Under the influences of some influences, the congressman of California Parliament accepts the media interview the time, has published some speciously possibly as well as the behavior that is a suspect to monopolize investigates to Creative Artists Agency the salary offer issue the opinion, although this congressman denied own view quickly, but has resulted in the huge pressure to Creative Artists Agency as before. 一些媒体甚至开始呼吁联邦政府对CAA这种扰乱电影市场的行为进行调查。在一些势力的影响下,加利福尼亚州议会的一位议员接受媒体采访的时候,似是而非地发表了一些可能对CAA的这次片酬报价问题以及涉嫌垄断的行为进行调查的言论,虽然这位议员很快就否认了自己的说法,但依旧对CAA造成了巨大的压力。 The United States industry magnates most fear anything, is situated first, is not the tax bureau, but is the anti- monopoly investigation. For the time being does not propose other professions cases, merely is Hollywood, because of past ‚the Paramount bill’, once had created a Hollywood movie industry many years of dreariness. 美国的行业巨头们最怕什么,排行第一的,并不是税务局,而是反垄断调查。暂且不提其他行业的案例,仅仅是好莱坞,因为当年的‘派拉蒙法案’,就曾经造成了好莱坞电影产业多年的沉寂。 But has cast off the negotiations of Sony and Columbia, returns to Creative Artists Agency host the general situation Michael Ovitz for the stability aspect, personally has carried on a face-to-face talk with Cruise and Hanks separately, hopes that their this times can give up the beforehand gain sharing plan, only takes a pure salary, to help Creative Artists Agency pass this crisis. 而已经甩开了索尼与哥伦比亚的谈判,回到CAA主持大局的迈克尔・奥维茨为了稳定局面,亲自与克鲁斯和汉克斯分别进行了一次面谈,希望两人这次能放弃之前的利润分成方案,只拿一份纯片酬,以帮助CAA度过这次危机。 Hanks is very good to speak, because before him, simply has not taken gain sharing, even 5 million high quota salaries have not taken, Box Office in hundred million «Big» Hanks took the 2 million USD salary . Moreover, he also very much regards as important the cooperation with Eric, therefore complied. 汉克斯还是很好说话的,因为他之前就根本没有拿过利润分成,甚至5000000的高额片酬都没拿过,票房过亿的《飞越未来》中汉克斯才拿了200万美元的片酬,而且,他也很看重与艾瑞克的这次合作,因此答应了下来。 But Tom Cruise hoped that can consider, finally next day, the consideration result of pretty soup, is bringing his manager Paula the Ms. Wagner same place, announced that has been separated from Creative Artists Agency, then, negotiated with the Firefly Inc. opening salary in a personal capacity again. 而汤姆・克鲁斯却表示希望能考虑一下,结果第二天,靓汤的考虑结果,就是带着他的经纪人宝拉・瓦格纳女士一起,宣布脱离了CAA,然后以个人身份,重新与萤火虫公司开启片酬谈判。 Person who Cruise is always one very much has the ambition, in addition this time public opinion disturbance, truly makes Cruise produce by Creative Artists Agency like the feeling of the board game piece operating. This feeling in full vigour regarding one, the control wants greatly strengthened and very able super superstar, is one extremely the matter that is hard to accept. 克鲁斯从来都是一个很有野心的人,再加上这一次的舆论风波,确实让克鲁斯产生出一种自己被CAA像棋子一样操纵的感觉。这种感觉对于一个精力旺盛,控制欲极强而又十分有能力的超级巨星来说,是一件极其难以接受的事情。 In addition because of the success of 《Rain Man》, making him see another road, by individual status, cooperated with these Film Studio with the way of gain sharing, this can bring more benefits for him, simultaneously Cruise also hopes that can win the domination in more filmmaking. 再加上因为《雨人》的成功,让他看到了另外一条路,就是以个人的身份,用利润分成的方式与那些电影公司进行合作,这可以为他带来更多的利益,同时克鲁斯也希望能获得更多电影制作方面的控制权。 To obtain these and does not receive the words that Brokerage Firm impedes, gets rid of Creative Artists Agency to carry on the individual farming becomes the first step that Cruise must walk. But Cruise is separated from Creative Artists Agency in this crucial point, was no different carries on the back after the opposite party inserted a blade maliciously. 想要获得这些而又不受到经纪公司掣肘的话,摆脱CAA进行单干就成了克鲁斯要走的第一步。但克鲁斯在这个节骨眼上脱离CAA,无异于在对方后背上狠狠插了一刀。
