Jeffrey has not left, but sits by the sofa of Eric office is having the lunch, simultaneously was discussing some issues with Eric. 杰弗里也没有离开,而是坐在艾瑞克办公室的沙发旁吃着午餐,同时与艾瑞克讨论着一些问题。 „Eric, except for 《Running Out of Time》, we costs of all movies has not surpassed 25 million now, did you give the budget of Robert Shay two movie 50 million USD are too many?” “艾瑞克,除了《暗战》,我们现在所有电影的成本都没有超过2500万,你一口气给罗伯特.谢伊两部电影5000万美元的预算是不是太多了点？” Heard this issue, the Eric complexion has also stretched stretching, several dug up lunch in the lunch box, advanced one side it, extracted paper towel to wipe the mouth saying: „I do not think, but wants Robert to work with every effort, has to give some opposite party advantage first. 50 million, although I had said can plenary powers give him to be responsible , the movie that but if Robert chooses is not good, I definitely will not sign in the project prospectus.” 听到这个问题,艾瑞克的脸色也绷了绷,几口扒完便当盒中的午餐,将其推到一边,抽出纸巾擦着嘴道:“我也不想,可是想要罗伯特尽力做事,就不得不先给对方一些好处。5000万而已,而且虽然我说过会全权交给他负责,但如果罗伯特选的电影不行,我也肯定不会在项目计划书上签字的。” Regarding Eric vision Jeffrey slight the suspicion in movie, has not heard Eric saying that felt relieved: „But, Eric, the Robert authority oversized also definitely is not any good deed.” 对于艾瑞克的在电影方面的眼光杰弗里没有丝毫的怀疑,听到艾瑞克这么说就放下心来:“不过,艾瑞克,罗伯特的权力过大也肯定不会是什么好事。” „This has nothing to be worried that” Eric signs the name in a document, has traded next rapidly, glances over earnestly while said: „We conformed with new line the resources, completely merges into one organic whole the new line and Firefly, remaining matters is simpler.” “这没什么可担心的,”艾瑞克在一份文件上签下名字,迅速换了下一份,一边认真浏览一边道:“等我们整合完新线的资源,完全将新线与萤火虫融为一体,剩下的事情就简单多了。” The Jeffrey heart jumped, secret passage kid heart is black enough, now starts to keep thinking about Robert Shay expels. However, Eric also really has this strength, after all, Robert Shay 15% stocks, but Eric holds the absolute holding power, wants to relieve the Robert Shay position, even does not need to discuss through any conference that signs and issues a document directly. 杰弗里心脏跳了一下,暗道这小家伙心够黑啊,现在就开始惦记把罗伯特.谢伊赶走了。不过,艾瑞克也确实有这个实力,毕竟,罗伯特.谢伊才15%的股份,而艾瑞克占有绝对控股权,想要解除罗伯特.谢伊的职位,甚至不需要通过什么会议讨论,直接签发一份文件就可以。 „Thought that I do unload the grinding to kill the donkey?” Eric has smiled, looks up Jeffrey to ask. “是不是觉得我卸磨杀驴？”艾瑞克笑了下,抬起头看着杰弗里问道。 Jeffrey smiled awkwardly, but naturally acknowledged: „Truly a little this feeling.” 杰弗里尴尬地笑了笑,不过还是大方地承认道:“确实有点这种感觉。” „You know that Jeffrey. I am not the person of that fickle widowed righteousness, if Robert can strictly adhere to own duty, completes the matter within his strength range. I am will not make the matter that this type of finishing eating feast hit the chef absolutely. His heart was too what a pity big, you definitely also note. He leads these many people to come today, is a demonstration, wants to tell us, he is very important to Firefly.” “你知道的,杰弗里。我不是那种薄情寡义的人,如果罗伯特能够谨守自己的本分,做好他实力范围内的事情。我是绝对不会做出这种吃完大餐打厨子的事情。可惜他的心太大了,你肯定也注意到。他今天带这么多人过来,就是一种示威,想要告诉我们,他对萤火虫很重要。” „My also one type was suddenly worried,” Jeffrey heard Eric saying that also said: „You look, today these people are Robert direct descendant, if you will drive away him in the future. Can these people leave with him together?” “我突然也有一种担心了,”杰弗里听到艾瑞克这么说,又道:“你看,今天那些人都是罗伯特的嫡系,如果你将来把他赶走。这些人会不会跟他一同离开？” Eric shook the head, a face said with ease: „You thought that if Firefly develops, when the time comes his these people under will give up for one year dozens over a million yearly salaries with drawing bonus, leaves to start an undertaking with him together? How many giant Film Studio also or has other to have that many positions to be idle, can dig together them? These are unlikely, Robert left, I looked for CEO to take over already has improved the distribution circuit again on the line.” 艾瑞克摇了摇头,一脸轻松道:“你觉得,如果萤火虫发展起来,到时候他手下的那些人会放弃一年几十上百万的年薪跟分红,跟着他一起离开去重新创业吗？又或者说,有另外几个巨头电影公司有那么多职位空闲,可以将他们一同挖过去？这些都不太可能,罗伯特离开了,我再找一位ceo接掌已经完善了的发行渠道就行了。” „But......” “可是……” Eric has interrupted the Jeffrey words, said patiently: „Jeffrey. Actually you do not need to be worried about these many, I had said may expel Robert, but is uncertain. Perhaps crosses for 1-2 years, he realized that his strong point, no longer meddles the movie-making to make the release with single-hearted devotion, I do not need to handle this matter, Robert distributes the ability in aspect to be without a doubt at the movie.” 艾瑞克打断了杰弗里的话,又耐心道:“杰弗里。其实你也不用担心这么多,我说过可能会把罗伯特赶走,但也不一定。说不定过一两年,他认识到自己的长处,不再插手制片专心地做发行,我就不必做这种事情了,罗伯特在电影发行方面的才能还是毋庸置疑的。” „I understood,” Jeffrey nodded reluctantly, starts to lower the head to eat meal. “我明白了,”杰弗里无奈地点了点头,开始低头吃饭。 The knocking on a door sound several, have not been permitted, the office gate was shoved open. Put on Drew of T-shirt hot-pants to fly, put on Eric laughing the merriment. Also gathered the Eric ear to ask about yesterday evening matter. 敲门声响了几下,还没有得到允许,办公室门就被推开。穿着t恤热裤的德鲁就飞了进来,扑在艾瑞克身上嘻嘻哈哈地笑闹着。还凑到艾瑞克耳边询问昨天晚上的事情。 Stands is with smile on the face to look that in entrance Alan patiently the girl and Eric are restless, the attention will change to oneself body when until Eric said: „Eric. The baggage and vehicle have prepared, in order to avoid on the road comes across the traffic jam and so on peculiar circumstance, I thought that we embark now well.” 站在门口的艾伦耐心地面带微笑看着丫头与艾瑞克闹腾,直到艾瑞克将注意力转到自己身上时才道:“艾瑞克。行李和车子都已经准备好了,以免路上遇到塞车之类的特殊情况,我觉得我们现在出发最好。” „That walks,” Eric will depend on small girl on his knee to pull: „I in these days little darling, having the matter can look for the Jeffrey help, do not deliberately create trouble.” “那就走吧,”艾瑞克将赖在他膝盖上的小妮子扯下来:“我不在这几天乖乖的,有事情可以找杰弗里帮忙,别胡闹。” „, I am not a child,” girl discontentedly flexure on Eric, also greasy say|way: „Eric, I also want to go to Venice.” “切,我又不是小孩子,”丫头不满地在艾瑞克身上挠了下,又腻腻道:“艾瑞克,我也想去威尼斯。” „consider as finished, you definitely cannot bear,” Eric has rubbed the girl furry head, recently small girl does not know how to think, has cut a adorable package Baotou, always looks at Eric unable to bear rubs several: „Airplane from Los Angeles to Venice, one-way must consume for 17 hours, the middle also needs to transfer.” “算了吧,你肯定受不了的,”艾瑞克揉了揉丫头毛茸茸的脑袋,最近小妮子不知道怎么想的,剪了一个可爱的包包头,看得艾瑞克总是忍不住多揉几下:“飞机从洛杉矶到威尼斯,一个单程都要消耗17个小时,中间还需要转机。” Drew truly cannot bear, lets her the idle 17 hours on the airplane, it is estimated that small girl will unable to bear to open anything, therefore again has not raised, is pulling the arm of Eric walks outward said: „Eric, we buy a private plane to be good, such will fly for a long time not to be again bored.” 德鲁确实受不了,让她在飞机上无所事事17个小时,估计小妮子会受不了拆点什么,于是也就没有再提,挽着艾瑞克的胳膊边往外走边说道:“艾瑞克,我们买架私人飞机好不好,那样就算飞再久都不会无聊了。” „Now is also not the time,” Eric shook the head: „Waits again for 1-2 years.” “现在还不是时候,”艾瑞克摇了摇头:“再等一两年吧。” „Un,” Drew nods, the group arrived at downstairs, small girl got in the business automobile: „I send you to the airport.” “嗯,”德鲁点头,一行人来到楼下,小妮子率先钻进了商务车:“我送你去机场。” „Eric, I do not go, waits for also something,” Jeffrey has patted the shoulder of Eric: „Bon voyage.” “艾瑞克,我就不去了,等下还有些事情,”杰弗里拍了拍艾瑞克的肩膀:“一路顺风。” „Bye, Jeffrey,” Eric beckoned toward Jeffrey, sat, front Alan has seated the copilot, saw that following Eric and Drew sat, exhorted the driver to drive. “再见,杰弗里,”艾瑞克朝杰弗里招了招手,坐了进去,前面的艾伦坐进了副驾驶,看到后面艾瑞克和德鲁坐好,才嘱咐司机开车。 He must go to Venice with Eric together, must look for a translator, what Venice said is the Italy language. However what is very skillful, the Alan mother is just the Italy person, Alan since childhood grows up in the English and Italy language two linguistic environments, said that a Italy language point does not have the issue, therefore also omitted looked for the trouble of translation. 他要跟艾瑞克一起去威尼斯,本来还要找一个翻译的,威尼斯当地说的是意大利语。不过很巧的是,艾伦的母亲刚好是意大利人,艾伦从小就在英语和意大利语两种语境下长大,说意大利语一点也没有问题,因此也就省去了找翻译的麻烦。 Is lucky, arrives at the Los Angeles international airport from Burbank, has used unexpectedly only for one hour ten minutes, arrives to boarding time also a half hours, Eric and Alan can quite go through the check-in calmly. 还算幸运,从伯班克一路开到洛杉矶国际机场,竟然只用了一小时十分钟,到达的时候离登机时间还有半个小时,艾瑞克和艾伦可以比较从容地办理登机手续。 „Is Alan, what turning?” Waiting boarding time, Eric saw that Alan has been searching along backpack carefully, curious asking. “艾伦,在翻什么呢？”等待登机的时候,艾瑞克看到艾伦在仔细的检查了一下随身背包,好奇的问道。 „Book, I had a Stephen King novel to gather the collection, planned that on the airplane looked, Eric, did you bring?” “书,我带了一本斯蒂芬.金的小说合集,打算飞机上看,艾瑞克,你带了吗？” Eric lets go, his previous life rides the long-distance train actually frequently, but the environment on train may not suitable reading, the long-term airplane not sit, therefore did not remember this. Moreover, his baggage was yesterday's small girl help tidies up, by the disposition of girl, was more impossible to think. 艾瑞克一摊手,他前世倒是经常坐长途火车,不过火车上的环境可并不适合阅读,长时间的飞机更是没有坐过,因此没有想起这一茬。而且,他的行李是昨天小妮子帮忙收拾的,以丫头的性格,更加不可能想起来了。 „Several minutes, could buy a book, hall outside has the supermarket,” the Alan initiative proposition said. “还有几分钟时间,或许可以去买一本呢,大厅外面有超级商场,”艾伦主动提议道。 „I go, Eric, you are waiting here, if I hurry back without enough time, you directly boarded craft.” “我去吧,艾瑞克,你们在这里等着,如果我来不及赶回来,你们就直接登机好了。” Eric was just about saying that did not need to trouble, small girl flew. 艾瑞克正要说不用麻烦,小妮子已经飞了出去。 Drew runs the airport waiting room hall, Eric and Alan hears the sound that the broadcast announcement they boarded craft, they look at each other in blank dismay. 德鲁才跑出候机室大厅,艾瑞克和艾伦就听到了广播通知他们登机的声音,两人面面相觑。 „Walks, first lines up, could be able to catch up,” Eric said that Alan has not refuted, they draw the baggage to walk toward the departure gate. “走吧,先排队,或许能赶得上呢,”艾瑞克说道,艾伦也没有反驳,两人拉着行李向登机口走去。 After ten minutes, the departure gate already only remaining Eric and Alan two people, other passengers have gone, nearby staff also start to remind two people to go, Eric looked at one finally behind, a shadow of dashing runs to them, the girl forces in a thick hardcover the Eric hand directly, has not said anything, bent the waist to wave to hint two people pantingly to go in directly. 十分钟之后,登机口已经只剩下艾瑞克和艾伦两个人,其他乘客都已经进去了,旁边的工作人员也开始提醒两个人进去,艾瑞克最后看了一眼身后,一个飞奔的影子向他们两个跑来,丫头直接将一本厚厚的硬皮书塞进艾瑞克手中,没有多说什么,气喘吁吁地弯下腰挥手示意两个人直接进去。 Eric knows that does not need to be polite with small girl, forced in the satchel to say the books the sound said goodbye, draws the baggage to enter the departure gate. 艾瑞克知道不用跟小妮子客气,将书本塞进挎包道了声再见,拉着行李进入了登机口。 The huge Boeing passenger plane thunders is leaving the ground, crossed to be some little time steady. 庞大的波音客机轰鸣着离开地面,过了好一会儿才平稳下来。 In the first-class cabin, Eric has untied the safety belt, Alan also puts out a schedule, introduced to Eric. 头等舱里,艾瑞克解开了安全带,身旁的艾伦也拿出一份日程表,对艾瑞克介绍起来。 „After the London favorable turn, we on September 2, 3 : 00 pm local time will arrive in Venice, Mr. Demme and Miss Madsen said that will meet us to Marco Polo Airport. In the evening has a meeting with John Landis Director, the 3rd any activity, you cannot rest for day, pours the time difference. No. 4 film festival opening ceremony red carpet, organization committee invited you to participate in later party. We on the afternoon of 5 th airplane ticket, the Eastern Time on the morning of 6 th 5 : 00 am return to Los Angeles. Eric, need note?” “经过伦敦的转机,我们会在九月二号,当地时间下午三点到达威尼斯,戴米先生和马德森小姐说会到马可波罗机场接我们。晚上跟约翰.兰迪斯导演有一个会面,三号没有任何活动,你可以休息一天,倒时差。四号电影节开幕式红毯,组委会邀请你参加之后的派对。我们五号下午的机票,东部时间六号早上五点回到洛杉矶。艾瑞克,还有需要备注的吗？” Eric listens patiently, shook the head: „Did not have, this.” 艾瑞克耐心听完,摇了摇头:“没有了,就这样吧。” If possible, he plan did not participate in Venice Film Festival, although had this plan, but is getting more and more tight along with the program, he also has the thought of no longer coming. However, afterward Venice Film Festival knew after he will possibly appear, has sent out the official invitation to him on own initiative, hopes that he can attend the opening ceremony. 如果可能的话,他原本已经不打算来参加威尼斯电影节了,虽然原本有这个计划,但随着日程越来越紧,他也就产生了不再来的念头。不过,随后威尼斯电影节得知他可能会出现之后,主动向他发出了官方邀请,希望他能参加开幕式。 «The Others» originally to the situation that in the award item does not covet, Eric postponed did not have anything, that propaganda strategy that but proposed along with Michael Eisner, «The Others» also had with the hope of prize, in this case, Eric was not good to reject again. Because the invitation is this appraisal committee Chairman Andre. Jamie Knoff signs to send in personally, is sincere. If Eric does not give opposite party face, that directly has laid down not a good influence in the opposite party heart, compares in Oscar several thousand people of appraisal committee scales, Venice Film Festival, only then nine appraisal committees, everybody sit together discussed the award item dividing. 《小岛惊魂》原本对奖项毫无觊觎的情况下,艾瑞克推迟了也没什么,但随着迈克尔.艾斯纳提出的那个宣传策略,《小岛惊魂》也就有了拿奖的希望,这种情况下,艾瑞克也就不好再拒绝。因为邀请是这一届评委会主席安德烈.杰米尔诺夫亲自署名发来的,诚意十足。艾瑞克要是不给对方这个面子,那就直接在对方心中埋下了一个不好的影响,相比于奥斯卡几千人的评委规模,威尼斯电影节只有九个评委,大家坐在一起商量商量就把奖项给分了。 Therefore, to avoid because of his factor, creating the tragedy that «The Others» returns empty-handed, Eric can only spunk up to run. 因此,为了避免因为他个人因素,造成《小岛惊魂》空手而归的悲剧,艾瑞克只能打起精神跑一趟。 Sighed reluctantly, Eric no longer thinks that these worrying matters, from the backpack have pulled out for the book that oneself bought small girl conveniently. 无奈地叹了口气,艾瑞克不再想这些烦心事,随手将小妮子给自己买的书从背包里掏了出来。 Looked at one, could not bear smile. 看了一眼,就忍不住笑了出来。 «Walden». 《瓦尔登湖》。 What this girl buys is any book, on the airplane who read below prose. 这丫头买的是什么书啊,飞机上谁看的下散文啊。 consider as finished, considered the hypnosis to use. 算了,就当是催眠用了。 Eric disassembles to wrap in books outside plastic film, is thinking. ( to be continued ) 艾瑞克拆开包裹在书本外面的塑料薄膜,这么想着。(未完待续)
