#169: Circling

Has sat in Eric Aniston peacefully was somewhat blurry, comes time, Eric has not concealed to this time invites Robert Shay's goal. However, now the supper has eaten the larger part, two people have not talked about the matter about Film Studio purchase slightly. Instead does not look the boundary was chatting all kinds of profession inside stories, Metro Goldwyn Mayer «Heaven’s Gate» owes greatly, in 1939 Robert when Shay was born the «Gone with the Wind» Box Office miracle, why Disney such quickly rose, the Radio-Keith-Orpheum bankruptcy truth, did not have any matter about Film Studio purchase in any case, at least brains not too intelligent little girl has not discovered the sign in this aspect. 一直安静地坐在艾瑞克身旁的安妮斯顿有些迷糊了,来的时候,艾瑞克并未对她隐瞒这次邀请罗伯特・谢伊的目的。不过,现在晚餐已经吃了一大半,两个人却丝毫没有谈到关于电影公司收购的事情。反而不找边际地聊着各种各样的行业内幕,米高梅《天堂之门》的巨亏啊,1939年罗伯特・谢伊出生时《乱世佳人》的票房奇迹啊,迪斯尼为什么这么快崛起啊,雷电华破产真相啊,反正就是没有任何关于电影公司收购的事情,至少脑袋瓜不太聪明的小丨妞没发现这方面的迹象。 Just started Aniston also to hear with great interest, to afterward gradually lost the interest, but was not willing failure in politeness to make the boyfriend not have the face, little girl can only do respectfully earnestly listens respectfully to the shape, although the thoughts have actually flown the horizon. 刚开始安妮斯顿还听得津津有味,到了后来就逐渐失去了兴趣,但又不愿失礼让男友没面子,小丨妞只能正襟危坐的做认真聆听状,虽然心思却已经飞到了天边。 Until the server removed the tableware, was several people have exchanged the coffee, Eric and Robert Shay ‚chatting’ had not finished as before. 直到服务生撤下了餐具,为几个人换上了咖啡,艾瑞克与罗伯特・谢伊的‘闲聊’依旧没有结束。 „...... Recent issue of 《Variety》 magazine has published a data article, the statistics show starting from the next year, the recording tape income and television transmission power of income movie will surpass movie Box Office on all fronts . Moreover, various peripheral copyright development of movie also more and more diverse, therefore the function of distribution circuit will become in the middle of the movie industry chain more and more important, in the future the pure movie content provider will be very difficult to survive.” “……最近一期的《综艺》杂志发表了一篇数据文章,统计显示从明年开始,电影的录像带收入和电视转播权收入将全线超过电影票房,而且,电影的各种周边版权开发也越来越多样化,因此发行渠道的作用在电影产业链当中将变得越来越重要,将来纯粹的电影内容提供商将很难在生存下去。” „Said that somewhat was one-sided, if no outstanding work, then the expansion of distribution circuit is also out of the question, Hollywood is relying on high-quality movie one after another, opens up territory to develop the earth in the overseas market, sweeps away all obstacles, if our movies same are shiftless with the Europe movie, the good piece few, that also definitely like the Europe movie, can only entertain in a small group, the highway is no doubt important, but if did not have car, the highway does not have any value of existence. Moreover, the salary of Hollywood movie star compared ten years ago increased over ten times, even started to share gain sharing of movie, this was the content in film market important most direct-viewing manifestation.” Eric said that not slow has not drunk coffee anxiously, casts a sidelong glance Robert shortly after Shay, the supper starts, they exchanged greetings to flatter several mutually, unknowingly started confrontation in secret, although no one had mentioned that any issue that purchased about the company and so on, but they actually regarding movie content with distributing who launched to argue importantly. “这么说就有些片面了,如果没有优秀的作品,那么发行渠道的扩大也就无从谈起,好莱坞正是凭借着一部又一部的高质量影片,才在海外市场上开疆拓土,所向披靡,如果我们的电影跟欧洲电影一样不思进取,佳片寥寥,那也肯定会像欧洲电影一样,只能在一个小圈子里自娱自乐,高速公路固然重要,但如果没有了汽车,高速公路就没有任何存在的价值。而且,好莱坞电影明星的片酬相比于十年前已经增加了十倍以上,甚至已经开始分享电影的利润分成,这就是内容在电影市场重要性的最直观的体现。”艾瑞克说完,不急不缓地喝了一口咖啡,瞟了一眼罗伯特・谢伊,晚餐开始后不久,两人相互寒暄吹捧了几句,就不知不觉地开始了暗中的交锋,虽然谁也没有提到任何关于公司收购之类的问题,不过两人却一直在围绕着电影内容与发行谁更加重要而展开争论。 About the discussion of this topic is Robert Shay selects, actually from that moment on, Robert Shay has been at leeward. Since because the opposite party has provoked this topic, Eric also understands that Robert Shay regarding Firefly proposed that purchases the suggestion of new line is very excited, if the opposite party is not willing to sell the new line, will not want to bring up this topic. 关于这个话题的讨论是罗伯特・谢伊挑起来的,其实从那一刻起,罗伯特・谢伊就已经处在了下风。因为既然对方挑起了这个话题,艾瑞克也就明白,罗伯特・谢伊对于萤火虫提出收购新线的建议是非常心动的,如果对方不愿意出售新线,就根本不会想要提起这个话题。 Sits in opposite Robert Shay also slightly sends painstakingly, he discovered that he by far had underestimated sits in the vision and experience of opposite youth. 坐在对面的罗伯特・谢伊心里也微微发苦,他发现自己还是远远地低估了坐在对面青年的眼界和见识。 As has mingled among more than 20 years of old worldly people in Hollywood, how he does not understand, once provokes that topic, likely makes the opposite party detect own intention. 作为在好莱坞混迹了20多年的老人精,他如何不明白一旦挑起那个话题,就很可能让对方发觉自己的意图。 But Robert Shay thinks Eric eventually is only 19 years old, has some talents in filmmaking, but other aspects definitely are know few, but oneself were older 30 years old than him, it can be said that the 30 year story accumulation, in addition Robert thought that own eloquence is good, therefore just started him to be able Eric to blow very much self-confidently, once lays down one in the Eric heart ‚distribution circuit is key’ the seed, in the future negotiations, Robert can occupy the initiative. 但罗伯特・谢伊原本以为艾瑞克终究才19岁,就算在电影制作方面有一些天赋,但其他方面肯定是所知寥寥,而自己比他大了三十多岁,可以说是多了三十年的阅历积累,再加上罗伯特觉得自己的口才还算不错,因此刚开始他很自信能够将艾瑞克镇住,一旦在艾瑞克心中埋下一颗‘发行渠道才是关键’的种子,在将来的谈判中,罗伯特就能够占据主动权。 Several movies of Eric manufacture have created the miracle on Box Office continuously, therefore, when Eric makes the person send out the invitation to him, and disclosed after some news, Robert Shay's thoughts flexible, Firefly purchases the new line, this is the affirmation, Robert Shay has not considered the excessively reverse possibility, but Robert although Shay was 50 years old, but has the ambition as before, he does not regard as important Firefly to purchase the new line the huge fund, but is the hope can realize the merges of two companies, and as far as possible after many possession merges , the stockholder's rights of company. 艾瑞克连续制作的好几部影片都在票房上创造了奇迹,因此,当艾瑞克让人向他发出邀请,并且透露了一些消息之后,罗伯特・谢伊的心思就活泛了起来,萤火虫收购新线,这是肯定的,罗伯特・谢伊都没有考虑过反向的可能性,但罗伯特・谢伊虽然已经50岁了,但依旧非常有野心,他并不看重萤火虫收购新线的巨额资金,而是希望能够实现两家公司的合并,并且尽量多的拿到合并后公司的股权。 Developing a bottleneck the new line to the present, in two Film Studio, the new line is the outstanding person, it has the income steady movie series, has constructed the good distribution circuit in the United States home, overseas release also had the fixed collaborator, what is more commendable, the new line develops now, has not attached in any film giants, maintains alone | sets up the management position completely. But compares in Six Great Film Studios, the disparity of new line is very big. This disparity main lies , the new line lacks the movie that Box Office sells greatly, or simply does not have. So far, new line income best 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 series, highest Box Office also only then 40 million, but the movie must be sells greatly, North America Box Office must achieve about 100 million USD to be qualified. Without movie that Box Office sells greatly, new line being doomed is also hard to advance into the ranks of giant. 新线到现在已经发展到了一个瓶颈,在二线电影公司中,新线已经是佼佼者,它拥有收入稳健的电影系列,也在美国国内构建了良好的发行渠道,海外发行方面也有了固定的合作者,更难能可贵的是,新线发展到现在,没有依附于任何一家电影巨头,完全保持独丨立经营状态。但相比于六大电影公司,新线的差距还是非常大。这种差距最主要的就在于,新线缺乏票房大卖的电影,或者说根本没有。到目前为止,新线收益最好的《猛鬼街》系列,最高票房也只有40000000,而电影要算是大卖,北美票房要达到一亿美元左右才算合格。没有票房大卖的电影,新线也注定难以跻身巨头的行列。 28 laws in Hollywood Box Office market are specially obvious, every year 20% movies have carved up over 80% Box Office income. But every year the Box Office ranking goes forward ten movies always to be monopolized by Six Great Film Studios, means that over 80% Box Office income in Six Great Film Studios, the proportion that actually these years six big account for had reduced, because of the vigorous development of various types of channels, gave alone | has set up the Film Studio very big development space, therefore Six Great Film Studios occupied the Box Office total amount every year, only then about 85%, left other Hollywood Film Studio 15% shares, this proportion seemed like very small, but contrasted for more than ten years ago, this proportion is very big, more than ten years ago, Six Great Film Studios basically blew has divided all Box Office of every year, Leaves the small Film Studio share, only then pitiful 1%. 好莱坞票房市场上的28定律特别明显,每年20的电影瓜分了超过80的票房收入。而每年票房排行榜上前十名的电影一向被六大电影公司垄断,也就意味着,超过80的票房收入都在六大电影公司手里,其实这些年六大所占的比例已经有所降低,因为各种渠道的蓬勃发展,给了独丨立电影公司很大的发展空间,因此六大电影公司每年占据票房总额只有85%左右,留给了好莱坞其他电影公司15%的份额,这个比例看似很小,但对比起十多年前,这个比例已经算是非常大了,十多年以前,六大电影公司基本上刮分了每年的所有票房,留给小电影公司的份额只有可怜的1%。 If the new line wants to advance into giant ranks to share that over 80% profits, before meeting Eric, only then two roads may walk, either centralism all strengths stake everything on a single throw of the dice, the risk carries on the manufacture of big investment movie, this possibly realizes Box Office big sells, but such makes the risk to be enormous, once is defeated, the new line only then goes bankrupt a road. Either slowly boils, some small manufacture movie that perhaps which day, the company invests attains Box Office that goes against heaven's will suddenly, accumulated the huge capital strength for it rapidly, in addition the corporate leader vision is good, the movie of following investment can also sell greatly, realizes the positive cycle, that possibly fast accumulates the strength, one day advances into the ranks of big company. Lion gate Film Industry in parallel space and time like this depends on the luck to rise, the lion gate that in 1997 established, was well below the new lines and Miramax these established two companies in the qualifications and strength, because 04 years went against the huge politics | to govern the pressure release low cost documentary film «Fahrenheit 9/11», have attained 2 in global luckily. 2.4 billion USD Box Office, rapidly accumulated enough capital, afterward relies on the «Twilight» series and that «The Hunger Games» series this these capital developed continuously super have sold greatly, once stepped on Box Office result general Universal and Metro Goldwyn Mayer in the under foot, followed closely Warner, Disney, Columbia and Fox, was fifth. 新线如果想要跻身巨头行列去分享那超过80的利润,在遇到艾瑞克之前,只有两条路可走,要么集中所有实力孤注一掷,冒险进行大投资电影的制作,这样才可能实现票房的大卖,但这么做风险极大,一旦失败,新线只有破产一条路。要么就是慢慢熬下去,或许哪一天,公司投资的某部小制作电影突然拿到逆天的票房,迅速为其积累了庞大的资金实力,再加上公司领导人眼光不错,后续投资的电影也能大卖,实现良性循环,那就可能快速地积累实力,有一天跻身大公司的行列。平行时空里的狮门影业就是这样靠运气崛起的,1997年才成立的狮门,在资历和实力上原本是远远不如新线、米拉麦克斯这些老牌二线公司的,但因为04年顶着巨大的政丨治压力发行的低成本纪录片《华氏911》,幸运地在全球拿到了2.24亿美元的票房,就迅速积累了足够的资本,随后凭借这这些资本连续开发了超级大卖的《暮光之城》系列和《饥饿游戏》系列,一度在票房成绩上将环球和米高梅踩在脚下,紧随华纳、迪斯尼、哥伦比亚和福克斯,位列第五名。 After Eric ejects the purchase intention, Robert Shay saw another broad road, this road makes the new line already not need to take risk, does not need to wait for the good luck to arrive slowly, but can enter the film giants ranks steadily, the Eric first several movies sells completely greatly had proven he has the strength to achieve this point, since six Dali had Metro Goldwyn Mayer United Artists such synthesis giant , can definitely present a new Line Firefly again, good, is Firefly - new line. 而在艾瑞克抛出收购意向之后,罗伯特・谢伊看到了另外一条康庄大道,这条路让新线既不用冒险,也不用慢慢地等待好运降临,而可以平平稳稳的步入电影巨头的行列,艾瑞克前几部电影全部大卖已经证明了他有实力做到这一点,既然六大里有了米高梅－联美这样的合体巨头,也肯定可以再出现一家新线－萤火虫吧,好吧,是萤火虫－新线。 Along with getting into the stomach of 12 coffee, Robert Shay does not have the patience to consume again with Eric, at present this young people patiently really astonishing, although is not willing to acknowledge that Robert Shay has to face in this confrontation, oneself were defeated fact. But did not propose the subject, perhaps Eric will regard one time to chat this meeting, then set out to say says goodbye, perhaps that met again can only on the conference table. 随着12杯咖啡的下肚,罗伯特・谢伊也没有耐心再跟艾瑞克耗下去,眼前这个年轻人耐心实在惊人,虽然不愿意承认,罗伯特・谢伊还是不得不面对这次交锋中,自己已经失败了的事实。而再不提出正题,或许艾瑞克真的会把这次会面当成一次聊天,然后起身说再见,那再次见面或许只能在谈判桌上了。 „Eric, heard that Firefly did prepare to develop own distribution circuit?” Is stirring the waiter continued from above coffee of the soupspoon calmly, Robert Shay spoke thoughtlessly to ask. “艾瑞克,听说萤火虫准备拓展属于自己的发行渠道了？”若无其事地用汤匙搅拌着侍者续上的咖啡,罗伯特・谢伊随口问道。 The Eric corners of the mouth reveal wipe the smile, finally could not bear, this food was about to have eaten for two hours, Eric almost did not have the patience again with Robert Shay consumed, little girl fluttered several charming small looks to suggest that continuously he wanted to leave, Eric planned that the present coffee drinks up, the opposite party did not raise, that went back to hold Aniston get lost the bed sheet, remaining was Firefly publicly officially sends out the purchase to invite to the new line. 艾瑞克嘴角露出一抹微笑,终于还是忍不住了吧,这顿饭已经快吃了两个小时了,艾瑞克差点都没有耐心再跟罗伯特・谢伊耗下去,小丨妞已经连续飘过来好几个妩媚的小眼神暗示他想要离开,艾瑞克打算眼前的咖啡喝完,对方再不提出来,那就回去抱着安妮斯顿滚床单了,剩下的就是萤火虫公开正式地向新线发出收购邀请了。 Reason that has such a food, Eric is to search Robert Shay's rumor, looked whether the opposite party intends to selling the new line, because in memory, Robert Shay's control wants | to look very strongly, although the previous life new line offered amnesty by Warner, but Robert Shay is dominating the domination of new line as before firmly, seemingly quick 20 years later, owes until «The Golden Compass» greatly, Robert but Shay and tremendous pressure is forced to leave office. 之所以有这么一顿饭,艾瑞克是想要探探罗伯特・谢伊的口风,看对方是否有意向出售新线,因为记忆里,罗伯特・谢伊的掌控欲丨望非常强,前世新线虽然被华纳招安,但罗伯特・谢伊依旧牢牢地把持着新线的控制权,貌似快20年后,直到《黄金罗盘》巨亏,罗伯特・谢伊才无奈与巨大压力被迫下台。 Robert topic that Shay just started to propose, argued with Eric for a long time, has indicated his manner, therefore then discussed that with did not discuss too many necessities, in any case have not reached the preliminary intention, the specific provision also needs to conduct the long-term negotiations, Sony purchases Columbia to spend over six months time now, in addition preliminary plan, has at least used for one year. Firefly purchases the new line, although will not be troublesome, but did not have 1-2 months definitely not to complete. 罗伯特・谢伊刚开始提出的话题,又与艾瑞克争论了许久,就已经表明了他的态度,所以接下来谈与不谈都没有太多的必要,反正就算达成初步的意向,具体的条款还需要进行长期的谈判,索尼收购哥伦比亚现在已经花了半年多时间,加上前期的谋划,至少用了一年。萤火虫收购新线虽然不会那么麻烦,但没有一两个月也肯定完成不了。 <\; / a >\;<\; a >\;<\; / a >\; <\;/a>\;<\;a>\;<\;/a>\;
