#127: Situation

„, Did you reject?” In parking lot car, Kapoor sits on the driver seat resigned-looking is looking at Eric on copilot. “那么,你还是拒绝了？”停车场一辆轿车里,卡普尔坐在驾驶座上一脸无奈地望着副驾驶上的艾瑞克。 Remembered just scene, Eric sighed, nodded. 想起刚刚的场景,艾瑞克叹了一口气,还是点了点头。 Although Spielberg leaves on the face has not displayed any disgruntledly, but the regrettable place expressed if one change the mind, can contact with him again. But Eric knows that he was this famous Jewish big Director offending, looked from Spielberg that assistant to his type brings to be unappreciative in the vision of meaning to see this point. 虽然斯皮尔伯格离开的时候脸上并没有表现出任何不悦,只是遗憾地表示自己如果改变主意,可以再联系他。但艾瑞克还是知道,自己算是把这位著名的犹太裔大导演给得罪了,从斯皮尔伯格那位助理望向他那种带着不识抬举意味的目光中就可以看出这一点。 If before is, Spielberg through other people indicated that purchases the copyright intention, Eric declines did not have anything, this rejection is much more serious, Spielberg personally acts, this is expressions of some sincerity, even is equal to delivered a favor. If this business achieves, Eric not only can harvest a rich copyright assignment fee, but can also win the Spielberg's favorable impression, perhaps when this personal connection can bring very big help to him. 如果是以前斯皮尔伯格通过其他人表示购买版权意向,艾瑞克推辞还没什么的话,这一次拒绝却要严重得多,斯皮尔伯格亲自出面,这算是一种非常有诚意的表示,甚至相当于把一份人情送上了门。如果这笔买卖达成,艾瑞克不但能收获一笔丰厚的版权转让费,而且还能得到斯皮尔伯格的好感,这条人脉说不定什么时候就能给他带来很大帮助。 But he impossible for favor, even if a very heavy favor, will involve in his future career layout a very important board game piece to transfer. 但他不可能为了人情,哪怕是一份很重的人情,将涉及到他未来事业布局中很重要的一颗棋子转让出去。 «Jurassic Park» involves to a value counts the 10 billion USD huge industry chain. Although Eric has not thought to have sole possession, but at least must guarantee own future can obtain tastiest one from this big cake. Once sells copyright, then he will lose completely the leading power of this project, most can only after others have the meat big mouth drinks some minute of remnant soup food left over bulk. 《侏罗纪公园》可是涉及到一条价值数百亿美元的庞大产业链。艾瑞克虽然从来就没有想过独吞,但至少也要确保自己将来能从这个大蛋糕里获得最鲜美的一块。而一旦将版权卖出,那么他将完全失去这个项目的主导权,最多只能在别人大块吃肉大口喝酒之后分一些残汤剩饭。 „Does Eric, want to listen to my suggestion?” Kapoor asked. “艾瑞克,想听听我的建议吗？”卡普尔问道。 „I know that what you must say, immediately relates Spielberg, sold to him movie copyright, is right? Leeway that Kapoor, this matter any has not discussed that I will not sell.” “我知道你要说什么,立刻联系斯皮尔伯格,把电影版权卖给他,对不对？卡普尔,这件事没有任何商量的余地,我是不会卖的。” Kapoor traces worriedly baldly: „Eric, have you pondered your situation? You now completely is a condition of independent combat, you seem like with these Film Studio high levels wind very much ripe, but this completely is based on pure benefit. Reason that the opposite party now is good to you so , because your first several movies greatly attained completely successfully, has brought the huge benefit for them. But nobody has succeeded, but once then you were defeated, is they gets angry.” 卡普尔苦恼地摸了摸光头:“艾瑞克,你思考过自己的处境吗？你现在完全是一种单打独斗的状态,你与那些电影公司的高层看似很熟络,但这完全是建立在纯粹利益的基础上。对方现在之所以对你这么好,是因为你前几部电影全部都大获成功了,为他们带来了巨大的利益。但没有人会一直成功下去的,而接下来一旦你失败了,就是他们翻脸的时候。” Eric from channel: „I think some time, I will not experience the failure that you say, I am very confident to my movie.” 艾瑞克自信道:“我觉得相当长的一段时间内,我不会经历你说的这种失败的,我对自己的电影很有信心。” „Factor of failure are also many, even is possibly artificial.” Kapoor then said: „Eric, thinks carefully, to your strength, share that you attained too. One time twice even 34 times good, they will only think that you is a lucky kid, but if this, these giants will not hesitate at all costs to suppress you, even ruins you. On the lion like prairie, they will allow that under the hyenas gnaw to eat them leftovers food, but does not allow more than the lion group that a small and weak hyena holds absolutely.” “失败的因素又很多,甚至可能是人为的。”卡普尔接着道:“艾瑞克,仔细想想吧,相对于你的实力,你拿到的分成太多了。一次两次甚至34次都还好,他们只会觉得你是一个幸运的小家伙,但如果一直这样,那些巨头们就会不惜一切代价来打压你,甚至毁掉你。就像草原上的狮子,他们会容许鬣狗们啃食他们吃剩下的食物,但绝对不允许一只弱小的鬣狗占有的比狮群还要多。” Eric opened mouth, actually cannot find out any rebuttal the words to come, he knows that Kapoor said these words meanings, actually hopes that he can look for some reliable allies, such, when his bitter experience to the suppression, possibly will not fall into the region that is isolated and cuts off from help completely in the future. 艾瑞克张了张嘴,却想不出任何反驳的话来,他知道卡普尔说这些话的意思,其实还是希望他能找一些牢固的盟友,那样,在将来他可能遭遇到打压的时候,就不会陷入完全孤立无援的境地。 Spielberg wants to attain «Jurassic Park» movie copyright this matter is an opportunity of excellent being on good terms opposite party, once he has sold copyright, screenwriter of movie is definitely impossible to get rid of him, Spielberg had also promised Firefly can participate in the investment, these contacted and establish the good private relationship for him and Spielberg to provide the condition, but Eric thought it over, some were not as before willingly. 斯皮尔伯格想要拿到《侏罗纪公园》电影版权这件事就是一个绝佳的交好对方的机会,一旦他卖了版权,电影的编剧肯定不可能摆脱他,斯皮尔伯格也许诺了萤火虫可以参与投资,这些都为他与斯皮尔伯格接触并建立良好的私人关系提供了条件,但艾瑞克思来想去,依旧有些不甘心。 Kapoor noted struggling and hesitation in Eric expression, continued to urge: „Eric, you know that which Film Studio your Firefly most did look like initially Hollywood?” 卡普尔注意到了艾瑞克神情里的挣扎和犹豫,继续劝道:“艾瑞克,你知道你的萤火虫最像当初好莱坞哪一家电影公司吗？” Eric gains ground curiously, Kapoor has not sold the lawsuit: „ Most looked like initial United Artists, initially Chaplin united several other famous Director, established United Artists, the localization of this company was a pure production company, provided the outstanding movie to several other big giants specially, has not looked like with Firefly of present any distribution circuit very much. Finally to the present, these has to improve film giants of distribution circuit, besides downing on one's luck Radio-Keith-Orpheum, all survived, but initially actually reduced with other United Artists of giant and name the subsidiary company of Metro Goldwyn Mayer. These very big reason is because United Artists initially paid great attention to the movie-making service, but neglected has developed own distribution circuit. 艾瑞克好奇地抬起头,卡普尔没有卖官司:“最像当初的联美,当初卓别林联合其他几位著名的导演,创立了联美,这家公司的定位就是一家单纯的制片公司,专门向其他几大巨头提供优秀的影片,跟现在没有任何发行渠道的萤火虫很像。结果到现在,那些拥有完善发行渠道的电影巨头,除了时运不济的雷电华之外,全都生存了下来,但当初与其他巨头并称的联美却沦落成了米高梅旗下的一个子公司。这其中很大原因就是因为联美当初太注重制片业务,而忽略了拓展自己的发行渠道。 Eric heard a Kapoor such saying, in the mind directly has emitted he most familiar DreamWorks, it seems like history always astonishing similar. 艾瑞克听到卡普尔这么一说,脑海中直接就冒出了他最熟悉的梦工厂,看来历史总是惊人的相似啊。 But the later generation sees ‚channel in some economy class articles for king’ frequently this word truly is the axiom, in the previous life memory, some Hollywood development quite good two Film Studio, such as lion gate Film Industry and Miramax, make the release to build up. But Spielberg's DreamWorks and afterward new DreamWorks can only float to flutter among Universal, Paramount and Disney these giants, for sometimes 1% share disputes must compel to make to very much painstakingly pat two loose situations. 而后世经常在一些经济类文章上看到‘渠道为王’这个词确实是至理名言,前世的记忆里,好莱坞发展比较好的一些二线电影公司,诸如狮门影业、米拉麦克斯,都是做发行起家的。而斯皮尔伯格的梦工厂和后来的新梦工厂都只能在环球、派拉蒙、迪斯尼这些巨头之间飘来飘去,有时候为了1的分成争执都要很苦逼地闹到一拍两散的地步。 „However present Firefly, compared in initial United Artists was inferior that almost did not have any release ability, these monopolized film giants of majority of distribution circuit to tidy up you too to be simple. Therefore you need some critical moments to help your ally now truly, once the awful situation occurrence, can some people help you wave the flag Nà to shout, brings both sides together, but does not fall into the region that is isolated and cuts off from help. The hyena is impossible and lion becomes friends, but similar between does not have the barrier. In this case, Spielberg has delivered, you also push out, this is simply unwise.” “而现在的萤火虫,相比于当初的联美都不如,几乎是没有任何发行能力,那些垄断了大部分发行渠道的电影巨头想要收拾你就太简单了。所以你现在非常需要一些关键时刻能够真正帮助到你的盟友,一旦糟糕的情况发生,可以有人帮你摇旗呐喊,牵线搭桥,而不是陷入孤立无援的境地。鬣狗是不可能跟狮子交朋友的,但同类之间并不存在隔阂。这种情况下,斯皮尔伯格都送上门了,你还推出去,这简直太不明智了。” If Eric is this space and time indigenous, these cheated the persuasion of additional threat after Kapoor, definitely the meeting obediently cuped one hand in the other across the chest to resign «Jurassic Park», what a pity he was not. 如果艾瑞克是这个时空的土著的话,经过卡普尔这一番连哄带骗加恐吓的劝说,肯定会乖乖地将《侏罗纪公园》拱手让出,可惜他不是。 „Good, Kapoor, I understood.” Eric nods, appearance that listening to reason. “好吧,卡普尔,我明白了。”艾瑞克点点头,一副受教的样子。 Kapoor gives Eric own mobile phone joyfully: „That hurries to telephone to Spielberg, should not be afraid the opposite party to think you to be fickle, Eric, you are young people, will have this privilege, Spielberg will not mind.” 卡普尔欣喜地将自己的大哥大递给艾瑞克:“那就赶紧打电话给斯皮尔伯格,不要害怕对方会觉得你善变,艾瑞克,你可是年轻人,有这个特权,斯皮尔伯格不会介意的。” Eric received brick Motorola to front the pad in the hand: „Kapoor, I said that I understood the importance of distribution circuit to Firefly. Had not said that must sold to Spielberg «Jurassic Park» copyright.” 艾瑞克接过砖头摩托罗拉在手里垫了垫:“卡普尔,我只是说我明白了发行渠道对萤火虫的重要性。并没有说要把《侏罗纪公园》版权卖给斯皮尔伯格。” Throws 扑哧 Sits cannot bear smile to make noise in Virginia that the back seat has listened to them to talk peacefully, realizes own malpractice, covers the small mouth hastily. 坐在后座一直安静地听着两人谈话的维吉尼娅忍不住笑出声来,意识到自己的失态,又连忙捂住小嘴。 Kapoor seemed choked, stares the big eye to look at Eric speechless, finally disappointedly brings back own mobile phone: I who „, can say as you like said. Jeffrey said right, you are really one tenacious to the biased young people.” 卡普尔仿佛被噎了一下,瞪大眼睛无语地望着艾瑞克,最终还是失望地拿回自己的大哥大:“随你吧,能说的我都说了。杰弗里说的没错,你真是一个固执到偏执的年轻人。” „Relax, Kapoor, I have my plan, you think that I am the British United States person, I currently have the United Kingdom nationality. Therefore again is on good terms with Spielberg, is not doomed the circle that is possible to infiltrate the Jew.” “放心吧,卡普尔,我有自己的打算,你想想,我可是英裔美国人啊,我现在都还有英国国籍。所以就算再与斯皮尔伯格交好,也注定不可能打入犹太人的圈子。” Eric has to consider these matters, in the Firefly this year's several movies, his following three movies had the whereabouts, supports the gathering place to Columbia, another two act according to the beforehand contract to give Fox. 艾瑞克并不是没有考虑过这些事情,萤火虫今年的几部电影中,他个人接下来的三部电影都已经有了着落,一部给哥伦比亚撑场子,另外两部根据之前的合约给福克斯。 Although other three movies have not determined the release side, but he received from six big issuance intention information much, so long as wants, momentarily can sign the release contract. 其他三部电影虽然还没有确定发行方,但他已经收到了不少来自六大的发行意向信息,只要愿意,随时都可以签订发行合约。 If these movies can Box Office like previous life sell completely greatly, that can accumulate a big primitive fund for him. Even if 12, because butterfly effect Box Office is not ideal, that cannot injure his slightest, most little gained, after all is the fool to throw four surely USD 《Running Out of Time》 besides Columbia boldly, the investments of several other scheduled movies in 10 million, even if were similar to previous life such explodes greatly, he can take back to invest to gain one. 这些电影如果全部能像前世那样票房大卖的话,那就可以为他积累一大笔原始资金。哪怕其中12部因为蝴蝶效应票房不怎么理想,那也伤害不到他分毫,最多只是少赚一点,毕竟除了哥伦比亚做冤大头豪掷了四千万美元的《暗战》外,其他几部计划内电影的投资都在10000000以内,哪怕只有一部如同前世那样大爆,他都可以收回全部投资连带赚上一笔。 After this year, just like Kapoor said that the giants will definitely realize he takes are too many, will do everything possible to suppress him, squeezes benefit that he earns, but he had enough primitive accumulation at that time, will deal not to have the strength of resisting. 今年之后,正如卡普尔说的,巨头们肯定会意识到他拿的太多,会想尽办法打压他,压榨他应得的利益,但那个时候他已经有了足够的原始积累,应对起来也不会毫无招架之力。 Not to mention can six big hug the agglomerate to suppress him, even if the matter of this type of less than 1% probability really occurred, that slowly conserved strength. Moreover, Eric does not believe that in oneself have the ability for the situation that in the opposite party brings the enormous benefit, the giants association president time achieves copes with him consistently, the person is oversensitively uneven, three monks possibly do not have the water to drink, let alone six! 且不说六大会不会真的抱成团打压他,就算这种不到1几率的事情真的发生,那就慢慢养精蓄锐好了。而且,艾瑞克也不相信在自己有能力为对方带来巨大利益的情况下,巨头们会长时间达成一致来对付他,人多心不齐,三个和尚都可能没水喝呢,何况六个！ „Kapoor, arrived here tonight, the car(riage) uses taking advantage of me, you go to my.” “卡普尔,今晚就到这里吧,车借我用用,你去开我那辆。” Kapoor looked at one to sit in the girl of car back seat, shook the head saying: „It is not good, Eric, car cannot borrow randomly, let alone you also drank. I deliver you to go home.” 卡普尔望了一眼坐在汽车后座的女郎,摇头道:“不行,艾瑞克,汽车是不能乱借的,更何况你还喝酒了。我送你回家吧。” „Kapoor, does not use such earnestly, do not think that you shaved baldly have been able, when light bulb.” Eric teased speechless, sat brought to shame intent to lower the head in Virginia of back seat. “卡普尔,不用这么较真吧,别以为你剃了光头就可以当灯泡了。”艾瑞克无语地调侃道,坐在后座的维吉尼娅已经带着羞意垂下了头。 Kapoor said with a smile: „You have misunderstood, I do not have am not tactful, I meant that I deliver you to go back, I have only drunk several champagne, what is more important, is flinging the paparazzi aspect, I was very experienced, initially relied on this skill to draw to my first employer, I will not think to tomorrow morning for your bordered news running public relations. Eric, Beverly Hills or Malibu?” 卡普尔笑道:“你误会了,我没那么不识趣,我是说我送你们回去吧,我只喝了几口香槟,更重要的是,在甩狗仔方面,我很有经验,当初正是凭借这个技能才拉到我的第一位雇主,我可不想明天早上又要为你们两个的花边新闻跑公关。艾瑞克,贝弗利山还是马里布？” „My family, Malibu was too far.” “我家吧,马里布太远了。” „Un, you sit back seat, the front was possibly patted.” “嗯,那你坐后座去,前排可能被拍到。” Eric accepted good advice readily to change on back seat, Kapoor started car to leave the underground parking garage, just drove the road, several car followed very much obviously. After a while, Kapoor has sized up several rear view mirrors, said with a smile: „Altogether three paparazzi car followed, the goal on party are luckily many, will otherwise perhaps have a long string tail.” 艾瑞克从善如流地换到了后座上,卡普尔发动汽车离开了地下停车场,刚刚驶上公路,几辆轿车很明显地跟了上来。过了一会儿,卡普尔打量了几眼后视镜,笑道:“一共三辆狗仔汽车跟了上来,幸好派对上的目标很多,要不然说不定会有一长串尾巴。”
