7月10日,《暗战》的首周票房正式出炉,虽然因为乔治・诺森那篇文章而在公众当中掀起了一场质疑风波,但《暗战》电影本身的口碑却没有受到多少影响,70以上的影评都对这部电影持称赞态度,因此,《暗战》首周顶着《蝙蝠侠》依旧火爆的压力,还是拿下了2700多万美元的周末三天票房,对于这个数据,哥伦比亚方面喜忧参半。Is happyisbecauseBox Office of summerfilesworking daywill occupycomplete alternationBox Office40%to50%, 《Running Out of Time》firstweeksevendays of Box Officehave the opportunityto rush to the 40 millionUSDcritical junctionas before, althoughbecause of the «Batman»reason, definitelycannot catch up with«To seize the Ghost2»45 millionfirstweekshockingresult, butthisdigithas letcontinueto restto be goodto thinkto the 《Running Out of Time》Box OfficeheavyheartedColumbiasenior officialsfor half a month, thorough40 million, thentotalBox Officevery muchhas the opportunityto break through200 millionUSD.
喜得是因为暑期档工作日的票房会占据整周票房40%到50%,《暗战》首周七天的票房依旧有机会冲上4000万美元大关,虽然因为《蝙蝠侠》的缘故,肯定赶不上《捉鬼2》4500万的首周惊艳成绩,但这个数字已经让持续半个月对《暗战》票房忧心忡忡的哥伦比亚高官们睡个好觉了,首周到了4000万,那么总票房还是很有机会冲破两亿美元的。Butworriesbecause oflearning from another's mistakes of 《Ghostbusters II》, Columbia was worried that thismoviemeetsstep«To seize the Ghost2»footsteps, next weekends up to turn outover50%Box Officedecline ranges, although , will again not appeared similar to«Batman»suchbigpiece, but after justexperienced«Seized the Box Officecurve of Ghost2»major rises, the Columbiaaspecthasthisworry is also unavoidable, the movielikegambling, nobodyknows that will then haveanything.
而忧的则是因为《捉鬼敢死队2》的前车之鉴,哥伦比亚很担心这部电影会步《捉鬼2》的后尘,次周落得超过50%的票房跌幅,虽然之后都不会再出现如同《蝙蝠侠》那样的大片,但刚刚经历了《捉鬼2》大起大落的票房曲线之后,哥伦比亚方面拥有这种担心也是在所难免的,电影就像赌博,没人知道接下来会发生什么。Therefore, whenGeorge the disturbance that Northern'sthatquestionarticlearousesjustemerged, Columbiawas critical situationquicklyconvenedallmanagementdiscussioncountermeasures, the consequence that thismattercausedwas very difficultto expect, perhaps after the peoplehave read, chattedseveralto forgetlaughing. ButColumbiaalsodiscoveredthatas ifmanyaspectsdo not hopethisviewwas neglectedeasily, for several dayshasmanymediato startto add fuel to the flames.
因此,当乔治・诺森的那篇质疑文章而引起的风波刚刚兴起,哥伦比亚很快就如临大敌地召集了所有高管商议对策,这种事情所造成的后果很难预料,或许人们读过之后,嘻嘻哈哈地闲聊几句就忘记了。但哥伦比亚也发现,似乎很多方面都不希望这种论调被人们轻易忽略,短短几天就有不少媒体开始推波助澜。Theywill not allowtendencygood《Running Out of Time》to come under the influence of thisquestionabsolutely, let alone, Columbiahad determinedEricthat‚topicmarketing’ the suggestion, TV seriesfragmentmovie the implantationadvertisement and Eric in pusheshighsecondweekBox Officeas the hypetopic, butthisplanwantsto implementsmoothly, mustquestionto clarifyfirstthiswave, otherwise the topicmarketing is very difficultto play the estimate the effect, will possibly superimpose a more awfulconditionbecause of the beforehandquestion.
他们绝对不会允许原本势头良好的《暗战》受到这股质疑的影响,更何况,哥伦比亚已经确定了艾瑞克那个‘话题营销’的建议,将电影中的植入广告和艾瑞克电视剧片段作为炒作话题来推高第二周票房,但这个计划想要顺利实行,就必须先将这一波质疑澄清掉,否则话题营销就很难起到预估的效果,很可能会因为之前的质疑而叠加出更加糟糕的状况。Howwhen a numerousmanagementtoclarify《Running Out of Time》not to have the work of ringeris somewhat troublesome, Ericbrings in that casketrecording tape of conference roomallat presentonebright, after having broadcastseveralrecording tapes, the peoplehave reached an agreementquickly the countermeasure.
当一众高管们对如何澄清《暗战》并没枪手之作有些伤脑筋时,艾瑞克搬进会议室的那一小箱录像带让所有人都眼前一亮,播放了几段录像带之后,众人很快商量好了对策。CBSTV Stationsituated in the branchoffice building of Los Angeles, EricwithSophiaTemple'sfemalehostis making the finalpreparation, will then record a file nameto call the «SophiaTalk show»program. To clarifyto questionas soon as possible, what ratiobut alsothere isat a grade of talk-show, is in front ofseveral millionaudiencesto broadcast a squarerecording tapemore convincingmethodat the scene?
CBS电视台位于洛杉矶的分部办公楼里,艾瑞克正与一位名叫索菲亚・坦普尔的女主持做着最后的准备,接下来会录制一档名叫《索菲亚脱口秀》的节目。想要尽快澄清质疑,还有什么比在一档脱口秀节目上,当着数百万观众的面当场播放片场录像带更有说服力的方法吗?When a managementproposed when thissuggestion, Ericfirstthinksisfamous«OprahTalk show», after allthisgrade of program was really toofamous, whatwhat a pitywas this thoughtis cancelledquickly, because of the broadcast time of «OprahTalk show»eachseasonfromevery year in Septembertofollowing year in May, is just in the stopping broadcastingtime of thisgrade of talk shownow. Moreover, even ifOprahtalk showhas not stopped broadcastingnow, mustarrange the running scheduleto be also unlikelyin the several days.
当一位高管提出这个建议时,艾瑞克首先想到的就是大名鼎鼎的《奥普拉脱口秀》,毕竟这一档节目实在是太有名了,可惜的是他这个念头很快被人打消,因为《奥普拉脱口秀》每一季的播放时间是从每年的九月份到次年的五月份,现在刚好处于这档脱口秀的停播期。而且,就算奥普拉脱口秀现在没有停播,要在短短几天内安排好档期也不太可能。Draws backto asknext, Columbiaquickarrangedanotherfile nameto call the «SophiaTalk show»programthroughrelationalverygoodCBSTV Station, thisgrade of talk show was imitating«OprahTalk show»very muchobviously, what a pityEricprevious lifehas not heard.
退而求其次,哥伦比亚很快通过关系很好的CBS电视台安排好了另外一档名叫《索菲亚脱口秀》的节目,这档脱口秀很明显就是在模仿《奥普拉脱口秀》,可惜艾瑞克前世并没有听说过。SophiaTempleisonehas the makingsCaucasianfemalevery much, wears the appropriatewine redcareer suit, the blackbluingpupil, the bridge of the noseverycurls upwards, Ericthought that opposite partyandCourteney in previous life《Friends》in the Coxappearanceis somewhat similar, butsheCourteneyCoxwere more than severalpoints of air of scholarly refinement.索菲亚・坦普尔是一位很有气质的白人女性,穿着得体的酒红色职业套装,黑发蓝眸,鼻梁挺翘,艾瑞克觉得对方与前世《老友记》中的柯特妮・考克斯外貌上有几分相似,只是她比柯特妮・考克斯多了几分书卷气。After the exchange, Ericalsounderstands that thisgrade of talk showprevious lifewill be why obscure, how longit is estimated that the work of thisgrade of followingcould not have.
经过交流,艾瑞克也明白这档脱口秀前世为何会默默无闻了,估计这档跟风之作存在不了多长时间。BecauseSophiaTemple'sdispositionunusualliterary style, the style of speakingis fair, Ericguessed that the opposite partydefinitelyis the family backgroundwealthyfamily, has had the eliteeducation of complete set, althoughthiswomanhas the talentvery much, butdispositionsomewhatis conservative. ThereforeEricthought that whichquiteserioushigh-endsheis more suitable the talk show, interviewedsomeentrepreneur, scientistorsenior government officialanything, but not the suitablethisneed and honored guestinteracted, transfer the audienceatmosphere the talk-show.
因为索菲亚・坦普尔的性格非常文气,谈吐中规中矩,艾瑞克猜测对方肯定是出身富裕家庭,接受过全套的精英教育,虽然这个女人很有才华,但性格方面却有些保守。因此艾瑞克觉得她更加适合哪种比较严肃的高端的访谈节目,采访些企业家、科学家或者政府高官什么的,而不适合这种需要与嘉宾互动,调动观众气氛的脱口秀节目。Compares, Oprah who comes the floorwas different, the experience that the opposite partytohype the influence of program, canfromexploding the childhood|is invadedbyclose relative, canmakeat the scenegreat varietydoes the strangeaction, cancryto laughwith the honored guestat the scene, butEriccanaffirmthatconservativeSophiaTempledefinitelycannot achievethese.
相比起来,出身底层的奥普拉就不同了,对方为了炒作节目的影响力,可以自爆童年被近亲性丨侵的经历,可以当场作出花样繁多的搞怪举动,可以当场与嘉宾大哭大笑,而艾瑞克可以肯定,性格保守的索菲亚・坦普尔肯定做不到这些。„Ms.Temple, Mr. Williams, scenehas prepared, canstartto record.”Staffpushed the doorto enterduring the rests, towas exchanging the detailEricandSophiasuchsaid.
“坦普尔女士,威廉姆斯先生,现场已经准备好,可以开始录制了。”一个工作人员推门走进了休息间,向正在交流细节的艾瑞克和索菲亚这么说道。EricandSophialeftrestroomshoulder to shoulder, walkstoward the movie studio.艾瑞克与索菲亚并肩离开了休息室,向摄影棚走去。„MentionedDirector, the firstimpression in manypersonmindreappearingdefinitelywasthesefull beardsandfullheadissues, strangeold man, butstarting from last year, the HollywoodDirectorcirclepresented an alternative, henot onlyyounghandsome, but also was talented, surprisinglywas, thisyouthconsecutivelyseveralmoviesattained the Box Officeresult of stunninghaving been dumbfounded, thinks that everybodyknowswhohewas, is then invitedourtoday'shonored guests, EricMr. Williams.”
“说起导演,很多人脑海中浮现出的第一印象肯定是那些大胡子、满头乱发,性格古怪的老头子,但从去年开始,好莱坞的导演圈子却出现了一个另类,他不但年轻英俊,而且才华横溢,更加让人惊讶地是,这位少年连续几部电影都拿到了让人瞠目结舌的票房成绩,呵,想必大家已经知道他是谁了吧,那么,有请我们今天的现场嘉宾,艾瑞克・威廉姆斯先生。”
After a skilledprologue, underhint of Sophia, Ericheldthatsmallboxto walkonce more, the programgroupinitiallyalsohad suggestedwill think of the box of recording tapeto put the sceneto be gooddirectly, butErichas rejected, reason thatonsuch a grade of program, the main purposewastoclarify the ringerrumor, thenmade certainly a deeperimpressionto be betteron the audience.
一段熟练的开场白之后,在索菲亚的示意下,艾瑞克再次抱着那个小箱子走了进来,节目组当初也建议过直接将装着录像带的箱子放到现场就好,但艾瑞克还是拒绝了,之所以上这么一档节目,主要目的就是为了澄清枪手谣言,那么当然是给观众留下越深的印象越好了。Under the stageingirl's the squeal, Ericbeckonsto the camerawith a smile, togethersatwithSophia.
在台下女孩的尖叫声中,艾瑞克笑着向摄影机招了招手,才与索菲亚一起坐了下来。„Eric, thisisyoufor the gift that everybodyprepares, wantsmeto helpto apportioneverybody?”Sophiahas referred toErichandful of a smilethatboxasked.
“艾瑞克,这是你为大家准备的礼物吗,要不要我帮忙分给大家?”索菲亚笑着指了指艾瑞克捧上来的那个箱子问道。Does not needEricto reply, the girls under stagecalledagainexcitedly, severalmissescould not have bornestand up, lookto the thing in box.
不待艾瑞克回答,台下的女孩们再次兴奋地叫了起来,有几个姑娘还忍不住站起身,看向箱子里的东西。Ericpressesboth handsslightlyawkwardly, hints the people peaceful, explained: „Sorry, everybody, todaytoohurried was unable to prepare the gift, as forthese, is onlysomerecording tapes, as for the content, will keep secrettemporarilyfirst, waits to giveeverybody a pleasant surprise.”艾瑞克略微尴尬地压了压双手,示意众人安静,才解释道:“抱歉啊,各位,今天来的太匆忙了没能准备礼物,至于这些,只是一些录像带而已,至于内容,暂时先保密,等一下会给大家一个惊喜。”Althoughmanypeoplesend out the disappointedsigh, butalsopeaceful.
虽然现场不少人发出失望的叹息,但也都安静了下来。ThenSophiaandEricstarted the standardflow of talk showinterview, tries to get close, recalls the childhood, looks back, savorsimmediately, forecastin the future......
接下来索菲亚与艾瑞克就开始了脱口秀访谈的标准流程,套近乎,忆童年,回首过去,品味当下,展望未来……
The majority ofissuesbeforehandreach an agreement, thisaspectSophiatrulybeforeEricgivesherappraisalsameto be quite conservative, even ifoccasionallyseveralsmallissues of attacking, has not madeEricfeelslightis hardto deal with.
大部分问题都是事先商量好的,这方面索菲亚确实与艾瑞克之前给她的评价一样比较保守,即使偶尔几个突击的小问题,也没让艾瑞克感到丝毫的难以应付。
After chatting more than tenminutes of Ericpast events, twopeoplestartto change over to the key point of thisinterview the topic.
聊了十多分钟艾瑞克的往事之后,两个人开始将话题转入这次访谈的重点。„Eric, manypeoplesaidthatcomparesatyourfirstseveralmovies, the styletransformation of 《Running Out of Time》was too big, regarding the appraisals of thesepeople, howyouto think?”
“艾瑞克,很多人都说,相比于你的前几部电影,《暗战》的风格转换太大了一些,对于这些人的评价,你个人是怎么认为的呢?”Ericis staring at the Sophiabeautifulcheek, startsto talk nonsenseseriously: „Actually, truly speaking, the appearance of myfirstseveralmoviehas very bigcidental factor. At that timemy fatherpassed awaysuddenly, Ihave todiscontinue studiesin a smalldining roomwork, butthatis not the life that Iwanted, Iwas interestedin the moviesince childhoodvery much, thereforehad«17 Again»thisscript, «17 Again»wasI, forwantsto enterHollywood, butgave itselfto prepare\; The inspiration of «Home Alone»isIwithyoungStuartchattedhas, the kidone nightmy familydrops around, at that timeIinshoots«17 Again», youngStuartaskedme, can healsomake the movie, I said that therefore«Home Alone»appeared. But《Pretty Woman》scriptproducesalsosimilarlyhas very bigfortuitousness. Therefore, 《Running Out of Time》iswants a shootsmovie that Icompletelyam truly from the heart, before being very early, Iproducedhave manufactured the thought of thismovie, for this reason, Ievenbefore《Pretty Woman》shoots, toTomMr. Hankshas sent out the invitation.”艾瑞克盯着索菲亚姣好的脸蛋,开始一本正经地胡说八道:“其实,说实在的,我的前几部电影的出现都存在很大的偶然因素。当时我父亲突然去世,我不得不辍学在一家小餐厅里打工,但那并不是我想要的生活,我从小就对电影很感兴趣,于是就有了《重返十七岁》这个剧本,《重返十七岁》是我为了想进入好莱坞,而给自己准备的\;《小鬼当家》则是我跟小斯图聊天的时候产生的灵感,小家伙有一天晚上来我家串门,当时我正在拍摄《重返十七岁》,小斯图就问我,他可不可以也去拍电影,我说可以啊,于是《小鬼当家》就出现了。而《风月俏佳人》的剧本产生也同样存在很大的偶然性。所以,《暗战》才是我真正完完全全发自内心的想要拍摄的一部电影,很早之前我就产生了制作这部电影的念头了,为此,我甚至在《风月》拍摄之前,就向汤姆・汉克斯先生发出了邀请。”„Oh, thensaidthatyourfirstseveralmoviesare your work of working as a volunteer, if your wordswere heardbyHollywoodmanyDirector, manypeoplewill die by heartbreak.”Sophiasomewhatmischievous asked that butunder the stagehas resounded the audiencelaughteronce more, ifEricmadeseveralBox Officeastonishingmoviesreallycasually, it is estimated thatHollywoodstruggledmanyyears of Director to hit the wall.
“哦,那么说,你的前几部电影都是你的玩票之作喽,如果你的这些话被好莱坞很多导演听到,很多人会伤心欲绝的。”索菲亚有些促狭的反问道,而台下再次响起了观众哄笑声,如果艾瑞克真的是随随便便就弄出来几部票房惊人的电影,估计好莱坞很多挣扎了多年的导演都要撞墙了。Ericdeniedhastilywith a smile: „Naturallyis notthis, regarding the beforehandeachmovie, Iindiligentlyattentivedoes, Ithought that a personwantsto obtainsomeachievements, veryimportantis, even if something youare not interested, but must try hardto completeit.”艾瑞克连忙笑着否认道:“当然不是这样,对于之前的每一部电影,我都在努力用心的去做,我觉得一个人想要获得一些成就,很重要的就是,哪怕一些事情你不太感兴趣,但也要努力把它做好。”Sophialooking pensivenodded: „Eric, althoughyounowsoare young, butbyyourachievement, thendefinitelynotwhen the manufacturemovieis restrictedtoomanyimpeding, means that yourfuturemovieis《Running Out of Time》thisstyle?”索菲亚若有所思地点了点头:“艾瑞克,虽然你现在还这么年轻,但以你的成就,接下来肯定不会在制作电影的时候受到太多的掣肘和限制,是不是意味着你将来的电影都将是《暗战》这种风格呢?”„, Iquitewill not liketrying the newthing, thereforemyfuturemoviewill be definitely many and varied, Ido not think that younggotsomekind of movieDirectorlabel.”
“不会,我比较喜欢尝试新的东西,所以我将来的电影肯定会多种多样的,我也不想年纪轻轻就被打上某类电影导演的标签。”„But, Ihad heardfor these daysthis kind ofviewpoint, isthese, even if the outstandingmovieGrandmaster, intheirmoviesalsodefinitelywill present the similarfactor. Butonsomenewspaperanalyzed, 《Running Out of Time》thismovieabsolutelydid not have a common groundwithyourfirstseveralmovies, like...... It looks like twopersonshootscomes out is the same.”Sophiais staring atEric, proposedthisquiteincisivetopic.
“可是,我这几天听说过这样一个观点,就是那些即使再优秀的电影大师,他们的电影中也肯定会出现相似的因素。但一些报纸上分析说,《暗战》这部电影跟你的前几部电影完全没有一丝的共同点,就像……就像是两个人拍摄出来的一样。”索菲亚凝视着艾瑞克,提出了这个比较尖锐的话题。
The audiencealsoimmediatelybecomesconcentrates all one's attention on, actually, manypeoplehad guessed correctly that realizedreason that Eric attended thisgrade of talk-show, howthereforeverycuriousEricwill argueforoneself.
现场的观众也立刻变得屏气凝神起来,其实,不少人都已经猜到意识到艾瑞克来参加这一档脱口秀节目的缘由,因此很好奇艾瑞克会怎么为自己辩解。
