„You name, is which newspaper office?” “你叫什么名字,是哪家报社的？” „I called George....... Surinder, is the «Hollywood Online» reporter.” George. Northern said that half have arranged a fictitious name to oneself hastily carelessly. “我叫乔治.诺……林德,是《好莱坞在线》的记者。”乔治.诺森说道一半连忙胡乱给自己编了一个假名。 Eric has not realized George. Northern is lying, nodded, asks: „You just said that «The Others» placed on November 1 to screen is a very stupid choice, your reason?” 艾瑞克并没有意识到乔治.诺森在说谎,点了点头,问道:“你刚刚说《小岛惊魂》放在11月1日上映是一件非常愚蠢的选择,那你的理由呢？” George. Northern replied self-confidently: „Is very simple, although on November 1 was Halloween , many horror films will screen, but this was actually not any popular running schedule, even the good running schedule not to be continually, these weeks of movie Box Office total amounts and movie off season anything have not distinguished. Since Disney and Firefly place the great expectations on this movie, then placed on November 1 to screen it, what was not stupid can also be, or you actually did not have what confidence to «The Others», threw this movie like this is being similar to the cannon fodder tomb general running schedule?” 乔治.诺森自信满满地回答道:“很简单,11月1日虽然是万圣节,也有不少恐怖片会在此期间上映,但这其实并不算什么热门档期,甚至连好档期都算不上,这几周的电影票房总额和电影淡季没什么区别。既然迪斯尼和萤火虫对这部电影寄予厚望,那么将其放在11月1日上映,不是愚蠢还能是什么,又或者说,你们其实对《小岛惊魂》并没有什么信心,才将这部电影丢在这样如同炮灰墓地一般的档期里？” Eric hear George. Northern's words, much looked at opposite party several, a middle-aged person of this paparazzi appearance may compared with these only know closely examines the star * person: „Since you can say rationally, you should also know that in Hollywood every year Box Office first ten, would presenting such several movies, their show times already are not the summer files are not the Christmas files, but they are relying on own perfect quality as before, has crushed into the ranking.” 艾瑞克听完乔治.诺森的话,不由多看了对方几眼,这个一身狗仔打扮的中年人可要比那些只知道追问明星*的人强多了:“既然你能说的头头是道,那你也应该知道,好莱坞每年的票房前十名里,总会出现那么几部电影,它们的上映时间既不是暑期档也不是圣诞档,但他们依旧凭借着自身过硬的品质,挤进了排行榜中。” „Mr. Williams, I understand that you said that «Leap Innocence» that like most recent several weeks of screening, Samsung Film Studio did not favor to this movie, has placed in October of unexpected winner this movie, but the Box Office dark horse of this several million cost has taken about six surely USD Box Office now, even also possibly becomes the «The Others» competitor. However, Mr. Williams. You had not replied that my issue, these dark horse movies that you said that reason that was put the off season. Is because they have not been favored beforehand. However «The Others» obviously by together the movie that Disney and Firefly place the great expectations, but also won Yinshijiang on Venice Film Festival.” “威廉姆斯先生,我明白你说的,就像前几周上映的那部《飞跃童真》一样,三星电影公司原本就对这部电影非常不看好,才将这部影片放在了冷门的十月份,但这部只有几百万成本的票房黑马现在已经拿下了将近六千万美元的票房,甚至还可能成为《小岛惊魂》的竞争对手。但是,威廉姆斯先生。你却没有回答我的问题,你说的那些黑马电影,之所以被放到淡季。是因为它们事先并没有被看好。但是《小岛惊魂》明显是被迪斯尼和萤火虫一起寄予厚望的电影,还在威尼斯电影节上获得了银狮奖。” Eric has smiled under. The expression said self-confidently: „I just had replied you, so long as the quality of movie is perfect, can sometimes disregard the running schedule.” 艾瑞克微微笑了下。语气自信地说道:“我刚刚已经回答过你了,只要影片的质量过硬,有时候是可以无视档期的。” Disregards the running schedule?! 无视档期？！ George. Northern stares the big eye surprisedly, in the crowd some quite specialized reporter also shows surprisedly the look. 乔治.诺森惊讶地瞪大眼睛,人群中一些比较专业的记者也都露出惊讶地神色。 Eric said such words, was really too extremely arrogant a point. 艾瑞克说出这样的话,实在是太狂妄了一点。 Entire Hollywood, did not have any Director or Producer dares to say such words self-confident, most people sharpened the forehead to want their movie to place summer the files or the new year files. Because everyone knows that the high-quality movie running schedule means higher Box Office income. However, present Eric not only does exactly the opposite, but also shouted rampantly ‚has disregarded running schedule’ slogan. 整个好莱坞,还没有任何一个导演或者制作人敢充满自信地说出这样的话,大部分人都是削尖了脑门想要将自己的电影放在暑期档或者新年档。因为谁都知道,优质的电影档期就意味着更高的票房收入。但是,眼前的艾瑞克不但反其道而行之,而且还嚣张地喊出了‘无视档期’的口号。 Many paparazzi realized keenly that this is very explosive topic, catching up cannot help but pushes forward, simultaneously extends the tape recorder in hand to Eric in front of diligently. 不少狗仔敏锐地意识到,这将是非常具有爆炸性的话题,不由自主的发力向前挤去,同时将手中的录音机更加努力地伸到艾瑞克面前。 George. Northern also knows that this is a controversial full topic, he even had the preliminary rough draft, believes that tomorrow many people will see Eric Williams conceited side, if «The Others» has not made the unexpected progress, that. Eric Williams the face countenance will sweep the floor, even during him in the new year the Box Office result of following several movie will have very big impact. 乔治.诺森也知道这将是一个争议性十足的话题,他心里甚至都已经有了初步的草稿,相信明天很多人都会看到艾瑞克.威廉姆斯狂妄自大的一面,而如果《小岛惊魂》没有取得让人意料之外的成绩,那么。艾瑞克.威廉姆斯将会颜面扫地,甚至对他新年期间接下来几部电影的票房成绩都会造成很大的冲击。 However, although is thinking at heart. George. Northern is face human and animals approaches Eric some tape recorder harmlessly, asked: „Mr. Williams, you just were really referred to «The Others» this movie can completely disregard the limit of running schedule, attained the high quota Box Office?” 不过,虽然心里这么想着。乔治.诺森还是一脸人畜无害地将录音机凑近艾瑞克一些,问道:“威廉姆斯先生,你刚刚真的是指《小岛惊魂》这部电影可以完全无视档期的限制,拿到高额的票房吗？” Eric shrugs, the nod said: „I, since placed on November 1 to screen the movie, then I definitely had like this self-confidently.” 艾瑞克耸耸肩,点头道:“我既然将电影放在11月1日上映,那么我心里肯定就已经有了这样的自信。” Reporter group beyond the warning line sends out light in an uproar once more. 警戒线外的记者群再次发出淡淡的哗然。 Eric said that no longer pays attention to people, pulls up Virginia to walk toward the theater. 艾瑞克说完,不再理会众人,拉起维吉尼娅向影院内走去。 „Hello, Mr. Williams. Can explain in detail?” “喂,威廉姆斯先生。可以详细解释一下吗？” „Mr. Williams, why will you have such confidence to this movie?” “威廉姆斯先生,请问你为何会对这部电影有如此的信心？” „Mr. Williams......” “威廉姆斯先生……” After behind the reporter crazy yawp. Eric took the Virginia lead not to return has stepped up to the stair of movie theater. 在身后记者疯狂的叫喊声中。艾瑞克带着维吉尼娅头也不回地跨上了电影院的台阶。 Because preview ceremony seven o'clock will start, therefore two people not direct screening hall. But goes to prepare the good restroom under staff's guidance beforehand, the star honored guests who comes to support are waiting for there. 因为首映式七点钟才会开始,因此两个人并没有直接去放映厅。而是在工作人员的引导下前往事先准备好的休息室,前来捧场的明星嘉宾们都在那里等待着。 Walks in the distinguished guest channel, Virginia asked in a soft voice: „Eric, you just said such words, can be somewhat improper?” 走在贵宾通道里,维吉尼娅轻声问道:“艾瑞克,你刚刚说出那样的话,会不会有些不妥？” „Doesn't have the confidence including you to me?” Eric asked with a smile. “连你也对我没信心吗？”艾瑞克笑着问道。 Virginia shakes the head hastily: „No, I am certainly confident to you, but, anything is possible the accident, if...... If...... You definitely will be ridiculed.” 维吉尼娅连忙摇头:“不,我当然对你有信心,但是,任何事情都可能出意外的,万一……万一……那你肯定会被嘲笑的。” Eric comforting has pinched the small hand of girl: „Relax, does not have the eventuality.” 艾瑞克安抚地捏了捏女郎的小手:“放心吧,没有万一。” Virginia opened mouth, but must say anything, was actually drawn by Eric was entering the restroom. 维吉尼娅张了张嘴,还要说什么,却被艾瑞克拉着走进了休息室。 Star who with comes to support to cheer numerously 11 have greeted, crossed for about ten minutes, Disney's CEO Michael Eisner also arrives at the scene. 与众多前来捧场助威的明星11打过招呼,过了十分钟左右,迪斯尼的ceo迈克尔.艾斯纳也来到现场。 „Eric, you only these words on red carpet I heard.” Meets, Michael Eisner then such said to Eric. “艾瑞克,你刚刚在红毯上的那些话我听说了。”一见面,迈克尔.艾斯纳便对艾瑞克这么说道。 Eric raised the eyebrow: „Mr. Eisner, you also thought that my words are improper?” 艾瑞克挑了挑眉:“艾斯纳先生,难道你也觉得我的话非常不妥吗？” Michael Eisner shook the head: „I thought that you said too has take risked, actually links me is very curious, why you will insist that places on November 1 this movie, now I defer to you saying that the words have done, you also ought to talk about the reason to me.” 迈克尔.艾斯纳摇了摇头:“我只是觉得你这么说太冒险了,其实连我自己都很好奇,你为什么会坚持将这部电影放在11月1号,现在我都按照你说道话做了,你也总该给我说说原因了吧。” „We to that side said that” Eric has referred to not far away by one set of sofa of wall. “我们到那边去说吧,”艾瑞克指了指不远处靠墙的一套沙发。 Michael Eisner nodded, followed Eric together, although the person in restroom very much wants builds with Eric and Michael Eisner says something to smooth things over to lag behind the relations, but saw that two people have the appearance that the matter discussed that also very tactful has not depended again. 迈克尔.艾斯纳点了点头,跟着艾瑞克一起走了过去,休息室里的人虽然都很想跟艾瑞克和迈克尔.艾斯纳搭搭讪拉下关系,不过看到两个人有事情商量的模样,也都很知趣的没再靠过来。 „Actually, I in long before, probably before 《Running Out of Time》 screens, had this thought.” Eric was saying, looked at Michael Eisner one, said: „At that time I think, since at the end of this year, five screen with my related movie one after another, why doesn't create an attractive all-inclusive miracle in this running schedule?” “其实,我在很早以前,大概在《暗战》上映之前的时候,就已经有了这个念头了。”艾瑞克说着,看了迈克尔.艾斯纳一眼,道:“那时候我想,既然今年年底,陆续有五部与我相关的电影上映,那么,为什么不在这个档期上创造一个漂亮的大满贯奇迹呢？” „All-inclusive, miracle?” Michael Eisner has duplicated the two key glossaries in Eric words, actually does not want to understand that all-inclusive word has any relations with the movie, is not the sports match. “大满贯,奇迹？”迈克尔.艾斯纳将艾瑞克话里的两个重点词汇重复了一遍,却没有想明白,大满贯这个词跟电影有什么关系,又不是球赛。 Eric has not kept guessing, said quickly: „Mr. Eisner, «The Others» on November 1 screened, has spent the propaganda of big strength after us, won two weeks of Box Office champions definitely not to have the issue. Then, «Home Alone 2» on November 17 screened, last year this movie had won the entire 10 weeks of week Box Office champions, but I watched the movie that the same time has shown, only then «Lethal Weapon 2» and «Back to the Future Part II» can competes with «Home Alone 2», but the crowd of that two movie was insufficient obviously with the «Home Alone 2» popularity compares, even if this sequel Box Office will have certain reduction, then won five weeks of Box Office champions definitely not to have the issue. Finally, Christmas day, «Sleepless in Seattle» continues the baton pass week Box Office champion, I have looked, this year a Christmas day big piece does not have, therefore, I can sit as before the week Box Office champion, so long as does not have the strong movie to appear, perhaps then, I can maintain this condition in February. Moreover, so long as we laugh uproariously to propagandize this, this ‚relay race’ several movies simultaneously will receive many attention, this among Box Office to several movies also played the role of promote each other.” 艾瑞克没有卖关子,很快说道道:“艾斯纳先生,《小岛惊魂》11月1日上映,经过我们花了大力气的宣传,拿下两周的票房冠军肯定没问题。接下来,《小鬼当家2》11月17日上映,去年这部电影可是拿下了整整10周的周票房冠军,而我看过同期上映的影片,只有《致命武器2》和《回到未来2》可以与《小鬼当家2》竞争一下,但那两部电影的人群显然不足以与《小鬼当家2》的人气相比,就算这部续集票房会有一定的降低,那么拿下五周的票房冠军也肯定没问题。最后,圣诞节,《西雅图夜未眠》继续接棒周票房冠军,我看过了,今年圣诞节一部大片都没有,所以,我依旧可以将周票房冠军坐下去,只要没有强势电影出现,那么,或许我能将这种状态一直保持到二月份。而且,只要我们将这个噱头宣传出去,那么,这场‘接力赛’中的几部电影将同时受到更多的关注,这对几部电影之间的票房也起到了相互促进的作用。” Michael Eisner hears the plan of Eric, in the extreme, young people this must wrest away the entire new year files at heart shocking! 迈克尔.艾斯纳听到艾瑞克的计划,心里震惊地无以复加,身边的年轻人这明显是要霸占整个新年档啊！ A movie of week Box Office champion at least can also take one week of Box Office 30%, in addition in first place Box Office of movie gain, this figure at least will not have risen to 40%, calculates according to the end of the year 600 million USD Box Office total amount that these movies will take 240 million USD total Box Office, this looks like are not as if many, has not achieved including total Box Office of last year «Home Alone» first. But don't forget, in the new year, these movies have at least one to three months of Box Office harvest times, total Box Office that attains definitely will not compare 240 million USD this digit few many. 一部周票房冠军的电影至少也能拿下一周票房的30%,再加上没有在榜首的电影获取的票房,这个数字至少会上升到40%,按照年底6亿美元的票房总额来算,这几部电影将拿下2.4亿美元的总票房,这看起来似乎并不算多,连去年《小鬼当家》首部的总票房都没达到。但别忘了,新年过后,这些电影还有至少一到三个月的票房收割期,拿到的总票房肯定也不会比2.4亿美元这个数字少多少。 Calculates on average that five movies, each at least has 100 million USD Box Office. 平均算下来,五部电影,每一部至少有一亿美元的票房。 If that was true, this year in the middle of Box Office list first ten, Firefly at least must occupy five positions, this obviously is one matter that makes seven big Film Studio face countenances sweep the floor. 真是这样的话,今年票房榜前十名当中,萤火虫至少要占五个位置,这明显是一件让七大电影公司颜面扫地的事情啊。 Even if Disney is in the middle of this matter profit, Michael Eisner thinks not to have any excited feeling now. 就算迪斯尼是这件事当中的获利者,迈克尔.艾斯纳现在想想也没有任何兴奋的感觉。 Perhaps, should make anything. 或许,该做点什么了。 Michael Eisner has emitted this kind of thought at heart bewilderedly. 迈克尔.艾斯纳心里莫名其妙地冒出了这样一个念头。 Looked at several side as before smug youth, the Michael Eisner pursing the lips lip, patted the Eric shoulder to encourage several, then set out to leave. 看了几眼身旁依旧踌躇满志的青年,迈克尔.艾斯纳抿了抿嘴唇,拍着艾瑞克肩膀鼓励了几句,然后起身离开了。 Eric actually sat a while on the sofa, because he just probably saw some different kind looks in the Michael Eisner eye, but concrete is anything, he actually does not want to understand that after Michael Eisner said oneself this ambitious plan, Eric somewhat are excited, in detail therefore did not have to analyze in the look that Michael Eisner that dodged passes to contain was meaningful. ( to be continued ) 艾瑞克却又在沙发上坐了一会儿,因为他刚刚好像在迈克尔.艾斯纳眼中看到了一些别样的神色,但具体是什么,他却没有想明白,向迈克尔.艾斯纳道出自己这个野心勃勃的计划之后,艾瑞克自己心里都有些激动,因此也没有详细地去分析迈克尔.艾斯纳那个一闪即逝的眼神中所包含的意味深长。(未完待续)
