Looked at script, Eric had discovered that Large expanse in this script and memory had differences in many detail, but the story master line has not actually changed. 将剧本看了一遍,艾瑞克发现这个剧本与记忆中的成片有不少细节上的区别,不过故事主线却没有改变。 Therefore, in the future his shoots time, can easily these details revise very much. 因此,将来他拍摄的时候,可以很轻易地这些细节修改过来。 What is most important, Eric has not discovered «Bold Melody» this song in script, reason that previous life «Ghost» can become the classics, has very big relations with «Bold Melody» of that enjoying great popularity, can say that song is to the sublimation of entire story, if changes into other any interlude, «Ghost» is impossible again the classics like previous life. 最重要的是,艾瑞克没有在剧本中发现《奔放的旋律》这首歌,前世《人鬼情未了》之所以能成为经典,与那首脍炙人口的《奔放的旋律》有很大的关系,可以说那首歌是对整个故事的一次升华,如果将插曲换成其他的任何一首,《人鬼情未了》根本不可能再像前世那样经典。 But because of butterfly effect, Eric 100% affirmations, if this script is not directs by him personally, then «Bold Melody» will again definitely not appear, if did not have this song, in addition all sorts of differences of other aspects, after that this script makes the movie, can achieve previous life 50% result is the miracle. 而因为蝴蝶效应,艾瑞克100肯定,如果这部剧本不是由他亲自执导的话,那么《奔放的旋律》肯定不会再出现,如果没有了这首歌,再加上其他方面的种种差异,那这个剧本拍成电影之后,能够达到前世一半的成绩就算是奇迹了。 „Mr. Robin, script I looked, although many places need to revise, but as a whole also good, you planned how much money this script sells?” Eric closes script, gains ground to ask. “罗宾先生,剧本我已经看完了,虽然有很多地方需要修改,但总体上还不错,你打算把这个剧本卖多少钱？”艾瑞克合上剧本,抬起头问道。 In the look after Bruce lens flashes through a slyness, had not replied that the Eric issue, instead asked: „Mr. Williams, you thought that which places need to revise?” 布鲁斯镜片后的眼神中闪过一丝狡猾,没有回答艾瑞克的问题,反而问道:“威廉姆斯先生,你觉得哪些地方需要修改呢？” Eric is staring at Bruce, shakes the head saying: „When this must act according to the shoots special details to decide.” 艾瑞克盯着布鲁斯,摇头道:“这个要根据拍摄时的具体情况而定。” Bruce saw Eric saying that has not continued to closely examine, he even thought that Eric just spoke these words, it is estimated that to keep prices down. He passed through himself to revise many script self-confidently in detail, although could not achieve perfectly, but will not say like Eric needs to revise many places. 布鲁斯见艾瑞克这么说,没有继续追问,他心里甚至觉得,艾瑞克刚刚说这句话,估计只是为了压价。他自信经过自己详细修改了很多遍的剧本虽然达不到完美,但也不会像艾瑞克说的那样需要修改很多地方。 „Actually is this, Mr. Williams,” Bruce said: „On last night party. I have recommended to some people my script, many people are interested. Paramount Charles. Mr. Jaffe also complies, if I sold to Paramount script, he not only will hold the post of Producer fully to support shoots of this movie personally. Also can make me enroll to unite Producer, enjoys gain sharing of movie.” “其实是这样的,威廉姆斯先生,”布鲁斯说道:“昨晚的派对上。我又向一些人推荐了一下自己的剧本,不少人都对此很感兴趣。派拉蒙的查尔斯.贾菲先生还答应如果我将剧本卖给派拉蒙的话,他不但会亲自担任制作人全力支持这部电影的拍摄。还可以让我挂名联合制作人,享受影片的利润分成。” Eric sneers at heart. Asked calmly: „Does Mr. Robin, how many gain sharing Paramount plan to give you?” 艾瑞克心里冷笑一声。不动声色地问道:“罗宾先生,派拉蒙打算给你多少利润分成呢？” Bruce has hesitated, wants to stretch out several fingers, finally does not dare to make this pierced at the first thrust the rumor, told the facts: „Besides the 300,000 USD script payment for published piece, Mr. Jaffe also promised that gives me 1% North America gain sharing.” 布鲁斯迟疑了一下,想要多伸出几根手指,最终还是没敢打出这种一戳就破的谎言,实话实说道:“除了30万美元的剧本稿酬之外,贾菲先生还许诺给我1%的北美利润分成。” „You thought that if this script shoots comes out, how many Box Office can attain?” “那你觉得,这个剧本如果拍摄出来,能拿到多少票房？” Bruce reveals one happily to smile. Said: „Mr. Williams, since this script is you favors, I think that Box Office at least can also achieve 100 million USD, will be perhaps more.” 布鲁斯露出一个得意地微笑。道:“威廉姆斯先生,既然这个剧本是你看好的,那么,我认为票房至少也能达到一亿美元吧,说不定会更多。” Eric said: „You looked, even if you take away to other Director racket, Box Office can achieve 100 million USD as before, according to production cost 20 million, announcement cost 10 million calculates, finally you can only attain share of 250,000 USD. Are less than your basic payment for published piece.” 艾瑞克道:“你看,就算你拿去给别的导演拍,票房依旧能达到一亿美元,按照制作成本2000万,宣发成本1000万来计算,最后你只能拿到25万美元的分成。比你的基本稿酬还少。” „This I know certainly that” Bruce shrugs: „Therefore I appear today here, Mr. Williams. Does not know that you do plan for this script initial price how many?” “这个我当然知道,”布鲁斯耸耸肩:“所以我今天才出现在这里,威廉姆斯先生。不知道你打算为这个剧本开价多少？” „500,000,” Eric said that he one time will certainly not open the price is too high, how otherwise also to bargain back and forth. “50万,”艾瑞克说道,他当然不会一次性将价格开的太高,不然还怎么讨价还价。 Bruce. Joy. Robin shows an unbelievable look, enhances the sound saying: „Mr. Williams, does have to attain the 100 million USD Box Office above script only value 500,000?” 布鲁斯.乔伊.罗宾露出一个难以置信的神色,提高声音道:“威廉姆斯先生,难道一个有拿到一亿美元票房以上的剧本只值500000吗？” „Mr. Robin, what 100 million USD Box Office always do not say naively? Before a movie opens, nobody can know that it can attain many Box Office. Therefore, said how many you do want?” “罗宾先生,不要天真地总是说什么一亿美元票房好吗？在一部电影上映之前,没有人能知道它到底能拿到多少票房。所以,还是说说你想要多少吧？” Bruce stretched out three fingers to gesticulate toward Eric: „3 million. Moreover before me, two script produced the movie, therefore knows that Hollywood so-called gain sharing was anything. I do not want gain sharing, I want 1% North America Box Office to be divided.” 布鲁斯伸出三根手指朝艾瑞克比划了一下:“300万。而且我之前也有两个剧本制作成了电影,所以知道好莱坞所谓的利润分成是什么。我不要利润分成,我要1%的北美票房分成。” Even if has made some preparations. Eric has not thought that Bruce will start out this kind of lion big start to talk price. Even if he, has not attained such reward, initially «17 Again» script was the lowest 200,000 USD price, without any was divided. 即便做了些心理准备。艾瑞克还是没想到布鲁斯会开出这样一个狮子大开口的价格。哪怕是他自己,都没有拿到过这样的酬劳,当初《重返十七岁》的剧本就是最低的20万美元价格,没有任何分成。 Later «Home Alone» and other movies, although the investor is he, but, will not wrangle for the future, as well as with declaring goods the related issue, in the contract his screenwriter reward, the Director reward should be many writes will be very clear. 之后的《小鬼当家》等影片,虽然投资者是他自己,不过,为了将来不进行扯皮,以及与报税相关的问题,合约上他的编剧酬劳,导演酬劳该是多少都写的很明白。 For example «The Others» that recently screened, he as screenwriter, because of the investment of «The Others», only then 5 million USD, he not with the basic script payment for published piece, but enjoys 3% North America gain sharing, according to the «The Others» Box Office trend, this sum of money also has 1 million probably. 比如最近上映的《小岛惊魂》,他作为编剧,因为《小岛惊魂》的投资只有500万美元,他并没有拿基本的剧本稿酬,而是享受3%的北美利润分成,按照《小岛惊魂》的票房走势,这笔钱大概也只有1000000。 Eric the body by the leather chair, shakes the head to say with a smile: „The price that Mr. Robin, you open is fantasy story, which screenwriter Hollywood also never has to attain such treatment simply.” 艾瑞克将身体靠在皮椅上,笑着摇头道:“罗宾先生,你开的这个价格简直是天方夜谭,好莱坞还从来没有哪个编剧能拿到这样的待遇。” „, In front of me does not have one,” Bruce slightly has thought highly of Eric, then said: „Mr. Williams, compares in the profit that this movie can bring, the price that I open is not excessive, not? Perhaps merely is only the salary that an actor of movie attains be much more than me.” “不不不,我面前就有一个,”布鲁斯小小地恭维了艾瑞克一把,接着道:“威廉姆斯先生,相比于这部电影能够带来的利润,我开的价格一点也不过分,不是吗？或许仅仅只是一个影片的男主角拿到的片酬都要比我多得多。” „You have made a mistake, Mr. Robin, I cannot attain that many. The my these income on newspaper exposing, in sum total I as investor, Director as well as final outcomes after screenwriter several status. If I solely as screenwriter, then attains 1% of these digit.” “你错了,罗宾先生,我也拿不到那么多。报纸上曝光的我的那些收入,是在总和了我作为投资人、导演以及编剧几种身份之后的最终结果。如果我单单只是作为编剧的话,那么拿到的连那些数字的1都不到。” „Do Mr. Williams, please give me a comparison to have the sincerity price to be what kind of?” Bruce said: „Must know, this script like my child, therefore, I hope that can have outstanding Director to produce the movie it.” “威廉姆斯先生,请给我一个比较有诚意的价格怎么样？”布鲁斯说道:“要知道,这个剧本就像我的孩子,所以,我希望能有一个优秀的导演将它制作成电影。” Eric despises at heart, he most repugnant was these always said that xxx likely was child's person, although truly some people will be from the heart, but most people made an affectation. 艾瑞克心里一阵鄙视,他最讨厌的就是那些总是说xxx像是自己孩子的人了,虽然其中确实会有些人是发自内心的,但大部分人都只是惺惺作态。 But just after hearing Bruce that lion big start to talk words, Eric understands that front middle-aged person also definitely is the latter type, otherwise, he should with should be the script content issue that oneself discussed now, but was not wants to receive how much money. 而刚刚听到布鲁斯那番狮子大开口的话之后,艾瑞克明白面前的这个中年人也肯定是后一种,不然的话,他现在应该跟自己谈的应该是剧本的内容问题,而不是自己想要拿到多少钱。 „The 3 million USD basic payment for published piece as well as Box Office are divided definitely are impossible,” Eric said: „You just said the Paramount plan to you 300,000 USD script payment for published piece as well as 1% gain sharing, then I can start out, is this price. Mr. Robin, I guaranteed, my this 1% certainly Paramount that 1% are more.” “300万美元基本稿酬以及票房分成肯定是不可能的,”艾瑞克道:“你刚刚说派拉蒙打算给你30万美元的剧本稿酬以及1%的利润分成,那么我能开出的,也是这个价格。罗宾先生,我保证,我这个1%肯定要比派拉蒙的那1%要多。” Bruce. Joy. Robin shook the head immediately: „Mr. Williams, you said like this that appeared does not have the sincerity.” 布鲁斯.乔伊.罗宾立刻摇了摇头:“威廉姆斯先生,你这样说,就显得太没诚意了。” Eric wants to demonstrate actually own sincerity that he is not the parsimonious person. 艾瑞克倒是想要一把将自己的诚意显示出来,他并不是吝啬的人。 However, to greedy of this middle-aged person, Eric understand him at present, once opens the price is too high, the opposite party estimated that in an instant will go to other Film Studio to beg high ‚sincerity’. 不过,以眼前这个中年人的贪婪,艾瑞克明白他一旦将价格开的太高,对方估计转眼就会去其他电影公司讨要更高的‘诚意’。 „Mr. Robin, I had the sincerity very much, my first script also only attains 200,000 USD, without any is divided, you can also attain 1% gain sharing now. To be honest, I also thought that your this script is good, this is my first time tries script of bystander, the risk is very big, did not pay attention possibly to ruin my advertisement slightly.” “罗宾先生,我已经很有诚意了,我的第一个剧本也只拿到20万美元,没有任何分成,你现在还能拿到1%的利润分成。说实话,我也只是觉得你这个剧本不错,这是我第一次尝试外人的剧本,风险很大,稍不注意就可能砸了我的招牌。” „Under perhaps I should go to other Film Studio to hint again, yesterday evening I received many name cards.” Bruce receives to admit in package script, said. “或许我应该再去其他电影公司示意下,昨天晚上我收到了不少名片。”布鲁斯将剧本收回来放进包里,说道。 Eric has extended putting out a hand, has made an optional expression, said: „Does as you please, but I did not think that some people will start out a higher price. Even if you return to look for Paramount, according to the movie-making and announcement cost of movie, Box Office must achieve 60 million USD to recoup the cost, I think the possibility that you attain that share is very low, because I did not think that your this script comes Director by others, can take too high Box Office. Once has pounded, perhaps, some people do not dare to receive your script.” 艾瑞克伸了伸手,做了一个随意的表情,道:“请便,不过我不觉得会有人开出更高的价格了。而且哪怕你返回去找派拉蒙,按照影片的制片和宣发成本,票房要达到6000万美元才能收回成本,我想你拿到那笔分成的可能性很低,因为我不觉得,你这个剧本由别人来导演,能拿太高的票房。而且一旦砸了,或许以后就再也不会有人敢收你的剧本了。” Bruce. Joy. Robin heard Eric saying that has hesitated slightly, set out to say goodbye to Eric. 布鲁斯.乔伊.罗宾听到艾瑞克这么说,微微迟疑了下,还是起身向艾瑞克告辞。 Looks at the opposite party to depart, after waiting for the opposite party to depart, Eric the attention will then shift to the work above, has not gone to think this matter again. Bruce. Joy. Although Robin is somewhat greedy, but also is a smart person, the smart person can definitely make the intelligent choice. Perhaps the opposite party now has not realized his finally these words the meanings, but quick can understand. 看着对方离去,等对方离去之后,艾瑞克便将注意力转移到工作上面,没有再去想这件事。布鲁斯.乔伊.罗宾虽然有些贪婪,但还算是一个聪明人,聪明人肯定能做出聪明的选择。对方或许现在没有意识到他最后那些话的意思,不过很快就能明白过来。 Since script has pounded, again some people do not dare to receive his later script. Then is corresponding, if this script shoots became the movie is hot, then Bruce. Joy. After Robin, writes script again definitely is the sky-high price, but can maximum limit guarantee that script shoots becomes the movie can sell greatly, has Eric. 既然剧本砸了,就不会再有人敢收他以后的剧本。那么相应的,如果这个剧本拍摄成电影火了,那么布鲁斯.乔伊.罗宾以后再写出剧本肯定就是天价,而能够最大限度地保证剧本拍摄成电影能够大卖的,只有艾瑞克。 Has saying that Bruce. Joy. Robin also is really the person who can calm down, following one week, again has not related Eric, Eric has not heard the news about «Ghost» script. 不得不说,布鲁斯.乔伊.罗宾还真是一个非常能沉得住气的人,接下来一个星期,都没有再联系艾瑞克,艾瑞克也没有听到关于《人鬼情未了》剧本的消息。 Meanwhile, «The Others» after screening of second week, Box Office has achieved 25.54 million as before, although according to estimate such, has not realized time Box Office counter to fall, but less than 5% Box Office decline ranges have stemmed from the expectations of all people, total Box Office also accumulated 5 more than 2 million, was 10 times of movie movie-making cost also many. Some Disney's management were also worried Michael Eisner acts willfully to invest the movie cost two times of announcement funds possibly unable to recoup the cost, but, after two weeks of screening, Disney according to own share, received the announcement cost, how long regardless of then «The Others» screens again, share that attains is the net profit. 同时,《小岛惊魂》经过第二周的上映,票房依旧达到了25540000,虽然没有按照预计的那样,实现一次票房逆跌,但不到5%的票房跌幅已经出乎所有人的预料,总票房也累计到了5200多万,是影片制片成本的10倍还多。原本迪斯尼的一些高管还担心迈克尔.艾斯纳一意孤行地投入影片成本两倍的宣发资金可能会收不回成本,不过,经过两周的上映,迪斯尼按照自己的分成,已经将宣发成本收了回来,接下来无论《小岛惊魂》再上映多久,拿到的分成都是纯利润。 Other Film Studio envy the Disney's good luck all, no longer initially gave the Firefly high quota to be divided to say this and that to Michael Eisner, even starts to praise the Michael Eisner boldness. ( to be continued ) 其他电影公司无不羡慕迪斯尼的好运气,同时也不再对迈克尔.艾斯纳当初给萤火虫的高额分成说三道四,甚至开始夸奖迈克尔.艾斯纳的魄力。(未完待续)
