#162: Missing

Read the materials of two companies earnestly, Eric discovered that perhaps is because has early established more than ten years of reasons, the present new line strength actually by far be more formidable than Miramax, the simplest evidence in the release ability, could be a movie unfolds about 1500 silver screen numbers as two Film Studio new lines, but Miramax is also at the piece of work stage, most can only collect 400-500 silver screens for the movie that distribute. Moreover new line, when Miramax is tenable, started alone | to set up the movie-making service, now also has 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 series copyright that unusual makes money, but Miramax is also at the full world buys the stage of piece release. 认真地阅读了两家公司的资料,艾瑞克才发现,或许是因为早成立了十多年的缘故,现在的新线实力却远远要比米拉麦克斯强大,最简单的证据就是在发行能力上,作为二线电影公司的新线已经可以为一部电影铺开将近1500块的银幕数,但米拉麦克斯还处在小打小闹的阶段,最多只能为自己发行的电影筹集四五百块银幕。而且新线在米拉麦克斯成立的时候,就已经开始了独丨立制片业务,现在还拥有非常赚钱的《猛鬼街》系列版权,但米拉麦克斯还处在满世界买片发行的阶段。 Sees here, Eric could not bear has shot under the tabletop gently, suddenly remembered him to miss a matter, about Steven Soderberg that ** made «Nature, Rumor, Recording tape», Soderberg by this movie, became the youngest gold/metal palm winner on several months ago Cannes Film Festival. 看到这里,艾瑞克忍不住轻轻拍了下桌面,突然想起他错过了一件事,就是关于史蒂文・索德伯格那部**作《性,谎言,录像带》,索德伯格就是凭借这部电影,在几个月前的戛纳电影节上成为最年轻的金棕榈得主。 Initially Eric also reminded to buy North America copyright of this movie, because of shoots busy running around in circles of that time 《Running Out of Time》, unknowingly unexpectedly gave to forget. 当初艾瑞克还提醒过自己将这部电影的北美版权买下来,不过因为那段时间《暗战》的拍摄忙的团团转,不知不觉竟然给忘记了。 If the history does not have the displacement, this movie definitely was taken by Weinstein Brothers. In the memory Miramax is depends upon 《Sex, Lies, and Videotape》 this movie to be budding, slightly after gaining one, had enough capital to enter alone | sets up the movie-making domain, slowly tried to find out road of one set of own survival, started to enjoy the sight and sound of the wind whipping up the water since then. 如果历史不发生偏移的话,这部电影肯定被韦恩斯坦兄弟拿下了。记忆里米拉麦克斯就是依靠《性、谎言、录像带》这部电影崭露头角,小赚一笔之后才有了足够的资本进入独丨立制片领域,慢慢地摸索出了一套属于自己的生存之路,从此开始风生水起。 Now is in late July, Eric only knows that 《Sex, Lies, and Videotape》 on Cannes Film Festival has taken the gold/metal palm in May, on newspaper magazine had not actually discovered that this movie in the news that North America screens. 现在已经是七月下旬,艾瑞克只知道《性、谎言、录像带》五月份戛纳电影节上拿下了金棕榈,却还没有在报纸杂志上发现这部电影在北美上映的消息。 If the distribution rights of this movie were taken by Miramax, that must purchase Miramax, should better before this movie opens reaches the agreement, otherwise, once «Nature And Rumor, Recording tape» takes the good Box Office result, even if Weinstein Brothers agrees to be purchased as before, Eric also certainly must pay a bigger price. The rule in circle is this, a movie can make a company market value increase, like previous life Pixar, originally value 50 million USD animation Film Studio, because of the success of «Toy Story», the market value turned 20 times in a short time. 如果这部电影的发行权真的被米拉麦克斯拿到手,那要收购米拉麦克斯的话,最好在这部电影上映之前达成协议,不然的话,一旦《性、谎言,录像带》拿下不错的票房成绩,即使韦恩斯坦兄弟依旧同意被收购,艾瑞克也肯定要多付出更大代价。圈子里的规则就是这样,一部电影就可以让一家公司市值大增,就像前世的皮克斯,原本一家价值5000万美元的动画电影公司,因为《玩具总动员》的成功,市值短时间内翻了20倍。 In the tentative plan of Eric, should better also take these two companies, this can the commercial movie and art film two aspects develops in unison, in these classics Oscar prize movies of memory by the Eric mind, even if Miramax moves toward the artistic film release once more path, definitely will not compare one to concentrate on with the company of commercial movie to gain few. 在艾瑞克的设想里,最好将这两家公司同时拿下,这样就可以商业电影和艺术电影两方面齐头并进地发展,以艾瑞克脑海中记忆的那些经典奥斯卡获奖影片,即使米拉麦克斯再次走向艺术片发行的道路,肯定也不会比一家专注与商业电影的公司赚到少。 In material estimate market value probably 150 million USD of new line, because the opposite party was one has also operated 20 years of established company, not only had not the small database, but also had valuable 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 series copyright, this series movie since 84 years, wanted shoots one every year, as the horror film of low cost, was almost makes money, although Box Office will not be high, actually won is lasting. 资料中新线的预估市值大概1.5亿美元,因为对方也是一家经营了20年的老牌公司了,不但有不小的片库,而且还有非常值钱的《猛鬼街》系列版权,这个系列电影从84年开始,每年都要拍摄一部,作为低成本的恐怖片,几乎是部部赚钱,虽然票房不会太高,却胜在持久。 Although Miramax is also at three status, but in the material to the market value of this company also estimates in 20 million USD about, because these year of Weinstein Brothers full world delimit, in the database also accumulated many movie resources . Moreover, Eric also understands, Miramax most valuable is not this company trade mark, is not in the database these movies, but is Weinstein Brothers these two people, previous life Weinstein Brothers after 05 years gave up Miramax, Miramax quick magnificent no longer, several years later by Disney low price markdown sale. 米拉麦克斯虽然还处在三线地位,但资料中对这家公司的市值也预估在2000万美元左右,因为这些年韦恩斯坦兄弟满世界地划拉,片库里也积累了不少电影资源,而且,艾瑞克也明白,米拉麦克斯最值钱的不是这个公司厂牌,不是片库里那些电影,而是韦恩斯坦兄弟这两个人,前世韦恩斯坦兄弟在05年放弃了米拉麦克斯之后,米拉麦克斯很快辉煌不再,几年后就被迪斯尼低价甩卖。 But now, 《Pretty Woman》, although has the income that 100 million USD raises one's head, moreover Eric can also loan once more, but wish simultaneously takes two companies, is not the matter of simple money, definitely involves the replacement of stockholder's rights. He believes by Robert Shay and Weinstein Brothers astuteness, even if he sufficiently collected the fund of full amount in the way of loan once more, the intention capitalization acquires the opposite party company, these people will not comply, where a stick buys and sells to receive in exchange for one having the actual benefit that development potential the stockholder's rights of Film Studio come very much. 但现在,《风月》虽然有一亿美元出头的进账,而且艾瑞克也可以再次贷款,但想要同时拿下两家公司,并不是简简单单的钱的事情,肯定涉及到股权的置换。他相信以罗伯特・谢伊和韦恩斯坦兄弟的精明,即使他再次以贷款的方式凑够了足额的资金,意图全资收购对方的公司,这几个人也不会答应,一棍子买卖哪有换取一家很有发展潜力的电影公司的股权来的实惠啊。 Congealing eyebrow was pondering slightly these matters, Jeffrey knocked on a door. 正微微凝眉思考着这些事情,杰弗里敲了敲门走了进来。 „Venice spread the news, «The Others» entered the main competition unit successfully, Jonathan Demme according to your opinion, has made the revision to the movie once more, Eric, do you want to take a look again?” “威尼斯方面传来消息了,《小岛惊魂》成功进入了主竞赛单元,还有,乔纳森・戴米按照你的意见,再次对电影做了修改,艾瑞克,你要不要再看看？” „Un, my this projection room,” Eric nodded, temporarily puts down to purchase the thoughts of two companies, set out to follow Jeffrey to go out of the office. “嗯,我这就去放映室,”艾瑞克点了点头,暂时放下收购两家公司的念头,起身跟随着杰弗里走出了办公室。 „What was just thinking, is lost?” Jeffrey and Eric are walking shoulder to shoulder, spoke thoughtlessly to ask. “刚刚在想什么,那么出神？”杰弗里和艾瑞克并肩走着,随口问道。 „New line and Miramax material, you know.” Eric replied: „I want simultaneously to eat up these two companies, but does not want to pay too many stockholder's rights.” “新线和米拉麦克斯的资料,你知道的。”艾瑞克答道:“我想同时吃下这两家公司,但又不想付出太多的股权。” Jeffrey is somewhat silent, once the company expansion, Jeffrey understands that by own ability, definitely is not enough to support the operation work of entire company again, after all, he only needed the several movies of responsible Eric manufacture and investment before, the matter that even distributes does not need to worry, but after purchase new company, Firefly must certainly start to step in the release, but before Jeffrey, absolutely does not have the ability in this aspect, must when the time comes certainly resign the CEO position. 杰弗里有些沉默,一旦公司扩大规模,杰弗里明白以自己的才能,肯定不足以再支撑整个公司的运营工作,毕竟,之前他只需要负责艾瑞克制作和投资的几部电影,甚至连发行的事情都不用操心,而收购新的公司之后,萤火虫肯定要开始涉足发行,而杰弗里之前完全没有这方面的能力,到时候肯定要让出CEO的位置。 However, but after short intertwining, Jeffrey quickly has then felt relaxed, so long as Firefly or Firefly are good, he once thought does not manage large-scale Film Studio Firefly, now had this tendency, wants him to resign to receive the position, nothing. Since the after personal shoots movie of because oneself initial acting willfully caused the wife to remain original Firefly that goes bankrupt, Jeffrey becomes very much has self-knowledge, like him, although occasionally will grumble in filmmaking to Eric, made the small comment, but never meddled the content production of movie, because he knew the strength in own not this aspect. 不过,只是短暂的纠结之后,杰弗里便很快释然了,只要萤火虫还是萤火虫就好,他曾经想的不就是将萤火虫经营成一家大型电影公司吗,现在有了这个势头,要他让出领到位置,也没什么。自从因为自己当初的一意孤行的亲自拍摄影片导致妻子留下来的原萤火虫破产之后,杰弗里就变得很有自知之明,就像他虽然偶尔会对艾瑞克在电影制作方面发发牢骚,提提小意见,但从不插手电影的内容制作,因为他知道自己没有这方面的实力。 Thinks through these, Jeffrey has patted the shoulder of Eric: „It is not good takes your time, I have also read the materials of these two companies, truly speaking, I favor the new line, even if replaces some stocks to be also worth. But the Miramax scale was too small, I had not seen that which point you have a liking for this company.” 想通这些,杰弗里拍了拍艾瑞克的肩膀:“不行就慢慢来,我也看过这两家公司的资料了,说实在的,我更倾向于新线,就算置换一些股份也是值得的。而米拉麦克斯的规模太小了,我也没看出你到底看上这家公司哪一点。” Eric smiled: „In the future you will understand.” 艾瑞克笑了笑:“将来你就会明白的。” They were saying, entered the Firefly projection room together, Jonathan Demme estimated that stayed up late, therefore there is a light dark pouche, his attaching great importance to this movie can also be inferred. 两人说着,一同走进了萤火虫的放映室,乔纳森・戴米估计又熬夜了,因此有了淡淡的黑眼圈,他对这部电影的重视也可见一斑。
