#173: A minor matter

Eric pushes the door to enter the living room, hears the sound Drew to jump from the sofa immediately, excited throws to hit the Eric bosom, but grinning expression after pulling out two small noses, is not immediately happy. In Eric moves aside speechless, small girl shut out on the cheeks left side of Eric the one breath, stretched out the sleeve to wipe wiping above, ba has kissed. 艾瑞克推门走进客厅,听到声音的德鲁立刻从沙发上跳起,一脸兴奋地扑过来撞进艾瑞克怀里,但本来笑嘻嘻的表情在抽了两下小鼻子之后,顿时就不高兴了。在艾瑞克无语地躲闪中,小妮子嫌弃地在艾瑞克左侧脸颊上哈了一口气,伸出袖子在上面抹了抹,才吧唧亲了上去。 Eric was teased not to know whether to laugh or cry by the action of girl, goes forward two steps on own waist to entrain to throw into on small girl of plate the sofa, sat, asked: „Was good, shouted hurriedly me what matter has?” Eric was saying, already notes front on the tea table to put the striking black folder, took to open conveniently, a copyright transfer contract appeared in front of Eric. 艾瑞克被丫头的举动逗得哭笑不得,上前两步将盘在自己腰上的小妮子拽了下来丢进沙发上,跟着坐了下来,才问道:“好了,急匆匆把我喊回来有什么事情？”艾瑞克说着,已经注意到面前茶几上放着的醒目的黑色文件夹,顺手拿了起来翻开,一份版权转让合约出现在艾瑞克面前。 „, «An Affair to Remember» copyright, your movement is quick, I also think that summer vacation has ended you to take well.” “呵,《金玉盟》的版权,你的动作还是蛮快的嘛,我还以为暑假过完你能拿下就不错了呢。” Drew lies on Eric grinningly, the chin is hanging the Eric one side shoulder: „Here, but Hollywood, so long as is rich, a lot easy to do many.” 德鲁笑嘻嘻地趴在艾瑞克身上,下巴挂着艾瑞克一侧肩膀:“这里可是好莱坞呢,只要有钱,很多事情都好办的多。” „How many spent?” Eric takes down from the metal clip of folder the contract, speaks thoughtlessly to ask. “花了多少？”艾瑞克将合约从文件夹的金属夹子上取下来,随口问道。 „3 500,000,” girl not too said the price self-confidently, but explained quickly: „Is entire copyright Oh, permanent, in successive some original music copyright turned over to us.” “350万,”丫头不太自信地说出了价格,不过很快解释道:“不过是全版权哦,永久的,连里面的一些原创音乐版权都归我们了。” Eric nodded, if eternal truth Drew said that then the price is acceptable, even if were brings to enrich the Firefly database, said again after and other «Sleepless in Seattle» were irritable, perhaps can also invest to rescreen this movie. Although Eric made Drew attain the movie copyright within five years, but he can also want to see, has the copyright company to meet old movie of one this 30 year ago with great difficulty the fat sheep that is interested, certainly must butcher one maliciously, five years? Does not sell, wants to buy all takes away, is the price expensive. 艾瑞克点了点头,如果真如德鲁说的,那么价格还是可以接受的,就算是拿来充实一下萤火虫片库了,再说等《西雅图夜未眠》火爆之后,或许还可以投资翻拍一下这部电影呢。虽然艾瑞克原本只是让德鲁拿到电影五年以内的版权,不过他也可以想见,拥有版权的公司好不容易遇到一只对这部三十年前的老电影感兴趣的肥羊,肯定要狠狠宰一笔,五年？不卖,想买就全拿去吧,就是价钱贵点。 Sees Eric to nod, Drew relaxed, starts chirp to explain: „This movie is one called Jerry investor who Walde had the company to manufacture, but that fellow assigned not well, opened Film Studio to produce several good movies actually, was about several years later sent dead on the heart disease, copyright of his Film Studio several movies had also been sold to another Film Studio by his widow, afterward, that Film Studio went bankrupt, went through many places several times, fell to the Fox hand.” 看到艾瑞克点头,德鲁松了一口气,开始叽叽喳喳地解释起来:“这部电影原本是一个叫杰瑞・沃尔德的投资人自己开公司制作的,不过那个家伙命不好,开了电影公司倒是制作了几部不错的电影,不过几年之后就心脏病发死掉了,他电影公司几部电影的版权也被他的遗孀卖给了另外一家电影公司,再后来,那家电影公司破产,又辗转了几次,落到了福克斯手中。” „Wow,” Eric sees in document the 20th Century Fox name, hears girl's explanation, almost jumps. “哇哦,”艾瑞克看到文件中二十世纪福克斯的名称,又听到丫头的解释,差点跳起来。 Drew could be saying the vigor, was made noise to have a scare by Eric suddenly, stares the big eye to ask: „What's wrong...... How, to have what not to be right?” 德鲁正说得起劲儿,被艾瑞克突然出声吓了一跳,瞪大眼睛问道:“怎……怎么了,有什么不对吗？” „You said...... Does this movie buy from the 20th Century Fox hand?” Eric is holding a luck at heart, asked. “你是说……这部电影是从二十世纪福克斯手中买来的？”艾瑞克心里抱着一丝侥幸,又问了一遍。 The girl eyelash has shone innocently two, chin: „Yes?” 丫头眼睫毛无辜地忽闪了两下,点点下巴:“是啊？” Eric smiles bitterly: „Was then bad, in the future must be hated by Fox.” 艾瑞克苦笑一声:“这下糟了,将来肯定要被福克斯恨上了。” That night was entangled temporarily does not have means that Eric by the small girl conceives a plan for the girl looks for ‚summer to hold concurrent jobs’, has not considered the «An Affair to Remember» copyright ownership issue completely, if did not have Warner, Universal or Paramount that anything related with him, Eric and opposite party did not have what cooperation, the pit one on pit one, the movie was also a business, made money to celebrate, must also appoint by the pit. 那天晚上被小丫头缠得没办法,艾瑞克才临时起意为女孩找了个‘暑期兼职’,完全没有考虑《金玉盟》的版权归属问题,如果是跟他没什么关系的华纳、环球或者派拉蒙,艾瑞克与对方并没有什么合作,坑一把就坑一把了,电影也是一门生意,赚钱了要庆祝,被坑了也要任命。 However considers everything has not thought that «An Affair to Remember» copyright unexpectedly in the 20th Century Fox hand. He now and Fox cooperates is also in the honeymoon, does not want to get into a deadlock both sides' relations, therefore initially Columbia wanted 《Running Out of Time》 time, Eric face to face to Barry Diller explained that and has made a compensation of TV series, but the reality is always very easy to crack a joke with the person, God he does not think that really he maintained the good relations with Fox. 不过千算万算还是没想到,《金玉盟》的版权竟然在二十世纪福克斯手中。他现在与福克斯合作还处于蜜月期,并不想将双方的关系搞僵,因此当初哥伦比亚想要《暗战》的时候,艾瑞克才当面向巴里・迪勒解释,并作出了一部电视剧的补偿,不过现实总是很容易跟人开玩笑,上帝他老人家是真的不想他跟福克斯保持良好关系了。 If after «Sleepless in Seattle» screens, the «An Affair to Remember» recording tape is similar to previous life hears such to sell the 2 million share that friend said that that is the 60 million USD sales volume, was equal to the movie that sold greatly. Although Film Studio always to the outside declares the profit of recording tape, only then less than 20%, remaining over 80% are the costs, so long as understands slightly a just knows this is talks nonsense, the profit space of recording tape can over 50%, be higher than the Box Office profit proportion with ease. Then, by the «An Affair to Remember» recording tape, Eric can at least make the 30 million USD income from this business. 如果《西雅图夜未眠》上映之后,《金玉盟》的录像带如同前世听到那位朋友说的那样卖出去200万份,那就是6000万美元的销售额,相当于一部大卖的电影了。虽然电影公司总是对外宣称录像带的利润只有不到20,剩下的80以上都是成本,不过只要稍微明白一点就知道这是胡说八道,录像带的利润空间轻松就能超过50,比票房利润比例还要高。那么,凭借《金玉盟》的录像带,艾瑞克就能从这笔生意中至少获得3000万美元的收入。 Eric almost can think of certain people, because this appearance that took advantage of opportunity to fly into a rage. 艾瑞克几乎都能想到某些人因为这笔顺势暴跳如雷的模样了。 Drew saw complexion that Eric keeps fluctuating, asked curiously: „How possible, we have pulled out 3 500,000 USD, Fox made money, to hate how possibly us?” 德鲁看到艾瑞克不停变幻的脸色,好奇地问道:“怎么可能,我们可是掏了350万美元呢,福克斯赚了钱,怎么可能还会恨我们？” „Yes, but we, although spent 3 million, but if also less than one year, we relied on this movie to gain 30 million USD, you said how Fox does think?” “是啊,可是我们虽然花了3000000,但如果还不到一年时间,我们就凭借这部电影赚了3000万美元,你说福克斯会怎么想？” The girls covered the small mouth surprisedly, Eric initially made her take copyright of this movie, said that can gain one, Drew also thinks that was only 12 million was good, when just said 3 500,000 USD prices, the girl somewhat was disturbed, if can gain 30 million really...... 丫头惊讶地捂住小嘴,艾瑞克当初让她拿下这部电影的版权,说是可以赚一笔,德鲁还以为只是12000000就不错了,所以刚刚说出350万美元价格时,丫头还有些忐忑,如果真的能赚30000000…… „...... Probably...... Eric, the Fox person does not know that was we buys, I was feared that acted to be associated directly to you on, looked for an agent specially, after he attained copyright, gave to me, from beginning to end, Fox does not know that was we must buy copyright of this movie......” Drew to say was saying, the sound was also getting more and more low, she thinks quickly, if in the future this movie has gained one by the «Sleepless in Seattle» influence greatly, so long as the Fox person the intelligence quotient did not have the issue, can definitely associate to Eric on. “不过……好像……艾瑞克,福克斯的人不知道是我们买了啊,我就是怕直接出面被人联想到你身上,特意找了一个代理人,他拿到版权之后又转让给了我,自始至终,福克斯都不知道是我们要买这部电影的版权呢……”德鲁说着说着,声音也越来越低,她很快想到,如果将来这部电影凭借《西雅图夜未眠》的影响力大赚了一笔,福克斯的人只要智商没问题,肯定能联想到艾瑞克身上。 Thinks of these, the girl spits the tongue: „That, Eric, now we what to do?” 想到这些,丫头吐了吐舌头:“那,艾瑞克,现在我们怎么办？” Eric has rubbed the temples, has thought that «Sleepless in Seattle» screens at the end of the year, then the «An Affair to Remember» recording tape will create a sales miracle also definitely is next year matter, when the time comes and Fox this year's contract have also fulfilled, will not need to be worried that Fox will distribute the aspect to obstruct at the movie, many future gain sharing, Fox will play a small method, will delay and so on, but Eric was not worried, various contract provisions that because signed last year will be very detailed, once Fox will break a contract, on the noisy court will not have any possibility of win, Eric to be possible not. Like previous life these film-makers, movie has sold greatly, discovers the share contract that and Film Studio signs to be not very careful, causes is several years of dispute. 艾瑞克揉了揉太阳穴,想了一下,《西雅图夜未眠》年底上映,那么《金玉盟》的录像带创造一个销售奇迹也肯定是明年的事情了,到时候自己与福克斯今年的合约也已经履行完毕,不用担心福克斯会在电影发行方面作梗,最多将来利润分成的时候,福克斯会玩点小手段,拖延一下之类的,不过艾瑞克并不担心,因为去年签署的合约各项条款都很详细,福克斯一旦违约,闹上法庭也没有任何胜诉的可能性,艾瑞克可不。像前世那些电影人一样,电影大卖了,才发现与电影公司签署的分成合约不够细致,引起长达几年的纠纷。 „consider as finished, this, cannot spit to the meat of mouth, is Fox sells in any case voluntarily, we have also started out that high price.” “算了,就这样吧,到嘴里的肉总不能吐出来,反正是福克斯自愿卖的,我们也开出了那么高的价钱。” „Hey,” a small girl also face prevails holds in the arms Eric to act like a spoiled brat is rubbing randomly: „But, Eric, a minor matter......” “嘿嘿,”小妮子也一脸得逞地搂住艾瑞克撒娇似的乱蹭着:“不过,艾瑞克,还有一件小事……”
