Following appointment Aniston has not participated, Eric delivers to go home Aniston, alone sees that bankrupt Film Studio Boss. 接下来的约会安妮斯顿并没有参加,艾瑞克将安妮斯顿送回家,独自去见那个破产电影公司的老板。 When gets out, Aniston said suddenly: „Can Eric, leaves my one «Home Alone» script? I help you have a look, to could...... Can make some comments.” 下车时,安妮斯顿突然道:“艾瑞克,可以将《小鬼当家》的剧本留给我一份吗？我帮你看看,或许可以……可以提一些意见。” Eric nodded, said: „Naturally does not have the issue, just I have photocopied several.” 艾瑞克点了点头,道:“当然没问题,刚好我复印了好几份。” Aniston takes script to get out, wields the small hand to look at Eric to drive to go far away, is under decides any determination likely, turns around to enter own apartment. 安妮斯顿拿着剧本下了车,挥着小手望着艾瑞克开车远去,像是下定什么决心似的,转身走进自己的公寓。 In a Burbank cafe, Eric saw Drew introduction that named Firefly small Film Studio Boss, Jeffrey Hansson, this is one about 50 -year-old white man, the facial features is somewhat thin and pale, it seems like that the bankruptcy of Film Studio attacks to him very in a big way, the whole person appears very dispirited. Eric knows that in a person situation had better be able divulge, therefore had not discussed that eagerly the matter of dramatic team, instead patiently listened to the man who this has needed to pour out to speak the past events. 伯班克的一家咖啡厅里,艾瑞克见到了德鲁介绍的那家名叫萤火虫的小型电影公司的老板,杰弗里・汉森,这是一个50岁左右的白人男子,面容有些憔悴,看来电影公司的破产对他打击很大,整个人都显得很颓废。艾瑞克知道一个人这种情况下最好能宣泄一番,因此并没有急于讨论剧组的事情,反而耐心地听起了这个需要倾诉的男人讲起了往事。 „My wife Szo Lenah is the outstanding student of University of Southern California Cinema institute, do you know? She with Francis Coppola is a schoolmate, what a pity she is only a farm girl from Maryland, without Coppola Family such profound detail, otherwise she achievement at movie is certainly higher than Francis, her shoots short film wins many prizes at school.” “我妻子索琳娜是南加大电影学院的高材生,你知道吗？她跟弗朗西斯・科波拉是同学,可惜她只是一个来自马里兰州的农场女孩,没有科波拉家族那样的深厚底蕴,否则她在电影上的成就一定比弗朗西斯还要高,她在学校时拍摄的短片就拿过好多奖。” „At that time I study the finance, everybody called my bookworm, why does not know, the wife will have a liking for me young attractively talented. She said that wants to make Director, I together keep the Los Angeles development with her, started from the duty of most foundation together, has done for probably nine years. I still remember when Szo Lenah for own script draws the first investment that happy appearance now, when that smiling face compared with we marry, I the ring wear when her hand am bright, afterward, we opened Firefly Film Studio, she makes Director, I help her be the producer, handles all, we have made several movies together, made money for the investor, but also won a syndicate special prize in Venice Film Festival. What a pity one year ago, when Szo Lenah drives returns to Maryland to see the parents, had the accident......” “那时我是学金融的,大家都叫我书呆子,不知为何,年轻漂亮才华横溢地妻子会看上我。她说想要做导演,我就跟她一起留在洛杉矶发展,一起从最基础的职务做起,做了大概九年时间。我现在还记得索琳娜为自己的剧本拉来第一笔投资时那种高兴的样子,那笑容比我们结婚时,我把戒指戴在她手上时还要灿烂,后来,我们开了萤火虫电影公司,她做导演,我就帮她做制片人,打理一切,我们一起拍了好几部电影,都为投资人赚到了钱,还在威尼斯电影节拿了一个评审团特别奖。可惜一年前,索琳娜开车回马里兰看望父母时,出现了意外……” Face beard stretch out Jeffrey Hansson spoke of here, the sound started somewhat to sob, could look, he was very deep with wife's sentiment, Eric sat in opposite, has given Jeffrey paper towel, then calmly was waiting for he continued. 一脸胡子拉碴的杰弗里・汉森说到这里,声音开始有些哽咽,看得出来,他跟妻子的感情很深,艾瑞克坐在对面,递给了杰弗里一张纸巾,然后静静等待着他继续说下去。 „After wife departs, I thought that I should inherit her ideal, she has wanted to grow strong Firefly, wants to make one by Oscar approval big Director, I think that has made these many years Producer, makes Director definitely to have more than enough to spare. Therefore has mortgaged the company, planned money shoots I to commemorate her first part movie, what a pity result not good......” “妻子离去后,我觉得我应该继承她的理想,她一直想把萤火虫发展壮大,想做一个被奥斯卡认可的大导演,我自认为做了这么多年的制作人,做导演肯定绰绰有余的。于是就将公司抵押了出去,筹了一笔钱拍摄了我为了纪念她的第一部电影,可惜结果不太好……” „Has not related, Jeffrey, is only a failure, Hollywood which Director has not experienced the failure.” “没关系的,杰弗里,只是一次失败而已,好莱坞哪个导演没有经历过失败呢。” Jeffrey is scratching the moist corner of the eye, said: „Thanks, Eric, can listen to me to talk incessantly thank you such a long time, I felt that now was much better, after the company went bankrupt, the son almost with my disinheritance, he did not agree that I made Director, thought that I tried hard many years of base industry to ruin her mother, I did not blame him, I very much regretted. Good, did not say these. Listened to Drew saying that you did need some people to help you produce a movie?” 杰弗里擦着自己湿润的眼角,道:“谢谢,谢谢你艾瑞克,能听我唠叨这么长时间,我现在感觉好多了,公司破产之后,儿子差点跟我断绝父子关系,他原本就不同意我做导演,觉得我把她母亲努力多年的基业毁掉了,我并不怪他,我只是很后悔。好吧,不说这些了。听德鲁说,你需要一些人帮你制作一部电影？” Eric nodded: „Yes, but is only a 1 million USD small cost movie.” 艾瑞克点了点头:“是的,不过只是一个一百万美金的小成本电影。” Jeffrey shakes the head saying: „No, 1 million were many, my wife first part movie has only used 700,000. Right, can I know your age?” 杰弗里摇头道:“不,一百万已经很多了,我妻子第一部电影只用了700000。对了,我可以知道你的年龄吗？” „Naturally, I now am 18 years old. Jeffrey, you will not think that I young am too too irritable?” “当然,我现在18岁了。杰弗里,你不会也觉得我太年轻太急躁吧？” „No, I determined that you have grown up, is the complete capacity person, after all 1 million USD is not a small number.” “不,我只是确定一下你成年了,是完全的行为能力人,毕竟一百万美金不是一个小数目。” „Oh?” “哦？” Jeffrey said: „This, the young people, I do not think not self-confident instead is you. I to young people any prejudice, many Director have not been when are young shoots to leave the most outstanding movie, is older, the movie that shoots leaves is instead more mediocre. The young people have always been full of the creativity, the movie is a manual labor of creation dream. Moreover, I believe that my team can help you complete your movie very well, they are the secondary roles of my wife personally training, is specialized and tacit full, what a pity because of me, they must be unemployed, can receive your movie, is the good matter. Un, was right, can I have a look at your script?” 杰弗里道:“别这样,年轻人,我觉得不自信的反而是你自己。我对年轻人没有任何偏见,很多导演都是在自己年轻的时候拍摄出自己最优秀的电影的,年龄越大,拍摄出的电影反而越平庸。年轻人总是充满了创造力,电影是一个创造梦想的活计。而且,我相信我的团队能够很好地帮助你完成你的电影,他们都是我妻子亲自培养的班底,非常专业而且默契十足,可惜因为我,他们就要失业了,能接到你的电影,也算是不错的事情。嗯,对了,我可以看看你的剧本吗？” „Does not have the issue,” Eric pulls out script to give Jeffrey, then calmly was waiting for Jeffrey surmounts own script. “没问题,”艾瑞克掏出剧本递给杰弗里,然后静静等待着杰弗里翻越自己的剧本。 After more than ten minutes, Jeffrey closes script, returns said to Eric: „Good comedy script, shoots gets up not to be complex, is very suitable to be used to practice acquiring a skill. Has saying that you choose this kind of script are very wise.” 十多分钟后,杰弗里合上剧本,交还给艾瑞克道:“一个不错的喜剧剧本,拍摄起来也不复杂,很适合用来练手。不得不说,你选择这样一个剧本还是很明智的。” Eric returns the backpack script, said to Jeffrey: „That, Jeffrey, can you help me be the producer of this movie?” 艾瑞克将剧本放回背包,对杰弗里道:“那么,杰弗里,你可以帮我做这部电影的制片人吗？” Jeffrey the Hansson doubts said: „Eric, do you determine? My company just went bankrupt because of me.” 杰弗里・汉森疑惑道:“艾瑞克,你确定吗？我的公司可是刚刚因为我而破产。” Eric said: „Jeffrey, you are not perhaps suitable to make Director, but through your narration, I thought that you are very outstanding Producer, if this movie is successful, I will establish my Film Studio, when the time comes you can help me handle . Moreover the secondary roles blanket acceptance that I can leave behind your wife, they do not need to be unemployed.” 艾瑞克道:“杰弗里,你或许不适合做导演,但通过你的叙述,我觉得你是一个很优秀的制作人,如果这部电影成功的话,我会成立自己的电影公司,到时候你可以帮我打理,而且我可以将你妻子留下的班底全部接收过来,他们就不必失业了。” Jeffrey obviously was very excited, he was dejected, the farm that planned to return to one's old home this remaining years. May hear the plan of Eric, has had the different kind thought that the dramatic team secondary roles that the wife keeps already and they cooperated many years, among them solely has not hired the relations . Moreover the friend who is better very much, the fault of because oneself causes to cooperate many years of old friend unemployment, Jeffrey is quite guilty. 杰弗里很明显心动了,原本他已经心灰意冷,打算回老家的农场了此残生。可听到艾瑞克的计划,又产生了别样的念头,妻子留下来的剧组班底已经跟他们夫妻俩合作了很多年,他们之间已经不单单是雇佣关系,而且是很要好的朋友,因为自己的失误使得合作多年的老朋友失业,杰弗里还是相当愧疚的。 How long has not considered, the Jeffrey nod said: „Good, Eric, I promise you.” 并没有考虑多久,杰弗里点头道:“好吧,艾瑞克,我答应你。” „, The cooperation is so happy.” Eric carries one coffee excitedly, has bumped with Jeffrey, the cooperation of two people are achieves officially. “那么,合作愉快。”艾瑞克兴奋端起一杯咖啡,和杰弗里碰了一下,两个人的合作算是正式达成。 Then, two people start to directly soar the subject to discuss the preparatory work of «Home Alone». 接下来,两个人开始直奔主题商议起《小鬼当家》的筹备工作。 In the discussion, Jeffrey also understood the matter that Eric has handled these days, some Tsk Tsk expressed admiration. Since has determined the cooperation, Eric also makes a clean breast to Jeffrey own plan. 在谈论中,杰弗里也了解到了艾瑞克这段时间所做的事情,不由有些啧啧称奇。既然已经确定了合作,艾瑞克也将自己的计划向杰弗里和盘托出。 „I planned that about one month completes this movie, then while the influence that «Jurassic Park» and «17 Again» creates, lets «Home Alone» screens during the Christmas day. I thought that for and acts the leading role to put on a Director corona to «17 Again» screenwriter, to create bigger Box Office benefit, thinks that 20th Century Fox will not distribute «Home Alone» for us parsimoniously, therefore, so long as we try hard the filmmaking, the Christmas comedy of this type of family photo can definitely make us gain one.” “我打算一个月左右完成这部电影,然后趁着《侏罗纪公园》和《重返十七岁》造成的影响力,让《小鬼当家》在圣诞节期间上映。我觉得,为了给《重返十七岁》的编剧和主演套上一个导演的光环,以创造更大的票房利益,想必二十世纪福克斯也不会吝啬为我们发行《小鬼当家》,所以,只要我们努力将电影制作好,这种合家欢的圣诞喜剧肯定能让我们赚一笔。” Eric remembered previous life to be written down Guinness World Records «Home Alone» Box Office, in the heart has been full of the expectation, even if this «Home Alone» only attained previous life 50% Box Office result, realized own ideal also to have more than enough to spare regarding him. 艾瑞克想起前世被记入吉尼斯纪录的《小鬼当家》票房,心中充满了憧憬,哪怕这一世《小鬼当家》只拿到前世一半的票房成绩,对于他实现自己的理想也是绰绰有余。 Two people have discussed beginning the decorated lantern in the cafe on, had determined a lot, after leaving behind the contact method, Eric drives to go home. 两个人在咖啡厅一直商议到华灯初上,确定了很多事情,留下联系方式之后,艾瑞克才开车回家。 Just to the family/home, Eric received another good news, Mr. and Mrs. Runkle to agree that made Stewart play Kevin, Eric also approximately discussed with couple detail, Mr. and Mrs. Runkle also agreed five ten thousand USD salaries and 1% Box Office that Eric proposed were divided. 刚刚到家里,艾瑞克就接到了另外一个好消息,朗克尔夫妇同意让斯图尔特饰演凯文,艾瑞克又大致跟夫妇两个商议了一下细节,朗克尔夫妇也同意了艾瑞克提出的五万美金片酬和1的票房分成。 Although the salary is only 1/10 of Eric in «17 Again», but if Box Office result like previous life shocking, merely 1% Box Office are divided can make their couple grin with ear to ear, regarding this Eric does not have anything to love dearly, after all, this movie needs Stewart Runkle plays a leading role. 虽然片酬只是艾瑞克在《重返十七岁》里的1,但如果票房成绩像前世一样惊艳的话,仅仅1的票房分成就能让他们夫妇两个合不拢嘴,对此艾瑞克也没什么心疼的,毕竟,这部电影需要斯图尔特・朗克尔挑大梁。 Next day, Eric lets Jeffrey Hansson acted to sign the contract with Mr. and Mrs. Runkle, the couple individual also therefore knew Eric will hold the post of Director of movie, scruple after the somewhat couple saw the Eric specially preparation five ten thousand USD checks, signed in the contract directly. 第二天,艾瑞克就让杰弗里・汉森出面与朗克尔夫妇签订了合约,夫妇两个人也因此知道了艾瑞克将担任电影的导演,原本有些迟疑的夫妇俩看到艾瑞克特意准备的五万美金支票后,直接在合约上签了字。 Then arranges the fund, in Eric originally 59 ten thousand USD, after Michael Claus negotiated, Michael complied with within ten days happily, paid in advance his probably 20 ten thousand USD royalty. Boss of piano shop after inspecting, reluctantly agreed with the returned goods, but counts the consider as finished two thousand USD amortization funds. 接下来就是筹备资金了,艾瑞克手里原本有59万美金,与迈克尔・克劳斯交涉一番后,迈克尔痛快地答应十天之内,预支他大概20万美金的版税。钢琴店的老板在检查了一番之后,也勉强同意了退货,不过还是计算了两千美金的折旧费。 Finally also the remaining 20 ten thousand USD about gaps, Eric clenched teeth, has related a pawn shop, has mortgaged the house at 20 ten thousand USD low prices quickly, every month 10% interest, if cannot return money in six months, the pawn shop will take back the house. To put it bluntly, special usury. 最后还剩下20万美元左右的缺口,艾瑞克咬了咬牙,联系了一家典当行,很快以20万美金低价抵押了房子,每个月10的利息,如果半年之内还不上钱,典当行将收回房子。说白了,就是特么高利贷啊。 Read the check in hand, Eric was sighing, now this was Drastic Move, if were defeated, does not know that Aniston can give shelter to itself. 看着手中的支票,艾瑞克叹息了一声,现在自己这算是破釜沉舟了,万一失败,不知道安妮斯顿会不会收留自己。 Thinks of here, and has remembered Drew, in 40 -year-old uncle's the story by the Eric body, how unable to see that Drew has liked in the bone to oneself, if possible, after shoots ends «17 Again», Eric does not want too occurring together with Drew again, his feeling to the Drew, probably daughter's aspect even is more than the woman. 想到这里,不由地又想起了德鲁,以艾瑞克身体里40岁大叔的阅历,如何看不出德鲁对自己已经喜欢到了骨子里,如果可能,拍摄完《重返十七岁》后,艾瑞克就不想再跟德鲁有太多交集,他对德鲁的感觉,或许女儿的方面甚至比女人要多一些。 Perhaps the time grew, the girl slowly will also downturn to her emotion, is for «Home Alone», he has to seek for the Drew help, twines two people once more together. 或许时间长了,女孩对自己的情感也会慢慢转淡,可是为了《小鬼当家》,他不得不寻找德鲁帮忙,再次把两个人缠绕在一起。 After the shoots fund prepares completely, Eric and Jeffrey start nonstop to choose the corner/horn for the dramatic team, the Eric plan is two fool Harry and Marvin chooses from television comedy Actor, what a pity settled on several to send out the invitation, the opposite party was not the running schedule cannot stagger is dislikes the salary to be too low. 拍摄资金全部准备好之后,艾瑞克和杰弗里就开始马不停蹄地为剧组选角,艾瑞克计划是两个笨贼哈里和马文从电视喜剧演员里挑选,可惜看中了几个发出了邀请,对方不是档期错不开就是嫌片酬太低。 Rushed about for two days, Eric unexpectedly received the Aniston’s call. 奔波了两天,艾瑞克突然接到了安妮斯顿的电话。 „What, you said that your Papa can ask me to eat meal?” “什么,你说你爸爸要请我吃饭？” In the telephone the Aniston’s sound is bringing jumping for joy: „Yes, weren't you over the two days in the «Home Alone» Actor worry? I said to Papa this matter, he complies to help you relate some comedy Actor.” 电话里安妮斯顿的声音带着雀跃:“是啊,你这两天不是在为《小鬼当家》的演员烦恼吗？我跟爸爸说了这件事,他答应帮你联系一些喜剧演员。” In the Aniston telephone the expression is very relaxed, but Eric actually knows that the matter is not simple, somewhat is simultaneously affected. Aniston with father John the Aniston relations are very desolate, John for Aniston own enterprise abandons wife and daughters' behavior to make Aniston take to heart until now. previous life John Aniston is good one to make the stubborn daughter forgive itself diligently, now obviously, Aniston, seeks the help of father not to say like the mouth on is so relaxed 安妮斯顿电话里语气很轻松,不过艾瑞克却知道事情并没有那么简单,同时又有些感动。安妮斯顿跟亲生父亲约翰・安妮斯顿关系很冷淡,约翰・安妮斯顿为了自己的事业抛弃妻女的行为让安妮斯顿至今耿耿于怀。前世约翰・安妮斯顿还是好一番努力才让倔强的女儿原谅自己,可见,现在安妮斯顿为了自己,寻求父亲的帮助并不像嘴上说的那么轻松 Eric was saying to the microphone grateful: „Thank you, Annie, I will be punctual.” 艾瑞克感激地对着话筒道:“谢谢你,安妮,我会准时到的。”
