„Hello, Mr. Williams,” Raymond. Zou Suiran wants to display a neither arrogant nor servile appearance, but in expression were unavoidably many earnest: „Mr. Williams, I have looked at your 《Running Out of Time》, to be honest, some styles of this movie and our Hong Kong movie are similar, just in Hong Kong is our Jiahe does in the release of 《Running Out of Time》, Box Office is good.” “你好,威廉姆斯先生,”雷蒙德.邹虽然想要表现出一副不卑不亢的模样,不过表情里难免还是多了一丝热切:“威廉姆斯先生,我看过你的《暗战》,说实话,这部电影和我们香港电影的一些风格非常相似,刚好在《暗战》在香港的发行就是我们嘉禾做的,票房非常不错。” „Actually I have liked the Hong Kong movie,” Eric said: „For example Bruce Lee several movies, «Fist of Fury» and «Tangshan Big brother» and «Fierce Dragon Crossing the river» and «Fierce struggle between two evenly matched opponents», that half «Death Game», was really a pity.” Said finally, Eric shook the head regrettably. “其实我一直都非常喜欢香港电影的,”艾瑞克道:“比如布鲁斯.李的几部电影,《精武门》、《唐山大兄》、《猛龙过江》、《龙争虎斗》,还有那半部《死亡游戏》,真是可惜。”说道最后,艾瑞克遗憾地摇了摇头。 Raymond. Zou hearing Eric said suddenly, on the face has also shown the look of recalling, shakes the head saying: „Has actually been a pity, yeah, these already past more than ten years. I still remember that now first time with the situation that Bruce cooperates.” 雷蒙德.邹听到艾瑞克突然这么说,脸上也跟着露出了追忆的神色,摇头道:“却是是可惜了,哎,这些都已经过去十多年了。我现在还记得第一次和布鲁斯合作的情形。” Then, Raymond. Zou Turan gained ground, looked at Eric, sighed with emotion: „I remember that Mr. Williams you this year are only 19 years old, Bruce passed away, you should be only three years old, really cannot think.” 说完,雷蒙德.邹突然又抬起头,看了看艾瑞克,感慨道:“我记得威廉姆斯先生你今年才19岁吧,布鲁斯去世的时候,你应该只有三岁,真是想不到。” „Good movie forever is the good movie, said that the previous time when Seattle makes a movie, I also specially went to a tomb of Mr. Bruce Lee, although crosses for more than ten years, but there present also has the movie fans in world to go to offer the tweed frequently.” “好电影永远都是好电影,说起来,上次在西雅图拍戏的时候,我还专门去了一趟布鲁斯.李先生的墓地,虽然已经过了十多年,不过那里现在经常都还有世界各地的影迷前去献花呢。” Raymond. Zou Leng staring, on face light ashamed dodges to pass, in the past Bruce Lee, perhaps he will not have today's achievement, but, buries except for Bruce Lee, he again had not gone to several Seattle: „Got through the matter, I will also go to Seattle to worship one.” 雷蒙德.邹愣了愣,脸上淡淡的羞愧一闪而逝,当年要不是布鲁斯.李,或许他也就不会有今天的成就,不过,除了布鲁斯.李下葬的时候,他就再没有去过几次西雅图:“等办完事情,我也会去西雅图拜祭一番的。” Eric nodded impartially. Then looked that to Robert Shay that had not made noise, he has not known that Robert introduced the opposite party to own intention. 艾瑞克不置可否地点了点头。然后看向一直没怎么出声的罗伯特.谢伊,他还不知道罗伯特将对方介绍给自己的用意。 Robert is working as Raymond. Zou's surface draws Eric one side, said: „Is this. Last year I participated in a movie of Hong Kong Jiahe investment, «Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles». You have heard, this movie Fox agreement distributed, but after looking Large expanse, Fox reneged on a promise.” 罗伯特当着雷蒙德.邹的面将艾瑞克拉到一旁,说道:“是这样的。去年我参与了香港嘉禾投资的一部电影,《忍者神龟》。你听说过吧,原本这部影片福克斯同意发行的,不过看了成片之后,福克斯又反悔了。” Eric hears «Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles» several words, has remembered this movie quickly, although he is not quite familiar in the United States situation to this movie previous life, but, actually knows a record about Hong Kong movie history. It is said Raymond of Jiahe. Zou Yizhi wants to march Hollywood, after experiencing several pieces of work, Jiahe has bought the «Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles» reorganization power plans to play one time in a big way, this movie Jiahe has invested 80 million, finally gains the 1 billion Hong Kong dollar in North America crazily. According to the present exchange rate, the 1 billion Hong Kong dollar is equal to almost 130 million USD, a foreign corporation at all impossible to walk 100 million multi- USD from the Hollywood minute. Then this sum of money definitely is North America Box Office that «Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles» attains, North America 100 million many Box Office, can crush into present Box Office list first ten fully. 艾瑞克听到《忍者神龟》几个单词,很快想起了这部电影,他虽然对这部电影前世在美国的情形不太熟悉,不过,却知道关于香港电影史的一段记述。据说嘉禾的雷蒙德.邹一直想要进军好莱坞,在经历了几次小打小闹之后,嘉禾买下了《忍者神龟》的改编权打算玩一次大的,这部电影嘉禾投资了80000000,最后在北美狂赚十亿港币。按照现在的汇率,十亿港币相当于差不多1.3亿美元,一家外国公司根本不可能从好莱坞分走一亿多美元。那么这笔钱肯定就是《忍者神龟》拿到的北美票房,北美一亿多的票房,足可以挤进现在的票房榜前十名了。 But this kind of movie, Fox gave up unexpectedly. However, this looks like is also very good to understand that Fox always likes handling this matter. previous life Fox gave up the North America release of «RMS Titanic», had sold to Paramount at the 60 million USD low price, finally «RMS Titanic» has attained 600 million many total Box Office in North America. Although experienced such one time, but Fox has not drawn the lesson, ‚making persistent efforts’, afterward «Avatar» of card god, Fox was worried about the risk, introduced other investors, finally «Avatar» Box Office exploded greatly. Because Fox this wrong decision-making loses several billions USD. 而这样一部电影,福克斯竟然放弃了。不过,这看起来也很好理解,福克斯一向喜欢做这种事情。前世福克斯就放弃了《泰坦尼克号》的北美发行,以6000万美元的低价卖给了派拉蒙,最后《泰坦尼克号》在北美拿到了600000000多的总票房。虽然经历了这样一次,但福克斯没有吸取教训,‘再接再厉’,后来卡神的《阿凡达》,福克斯担心风险,又引入了其他投资人,最后《阿凡达》票房大爆。福克斯又因为这项错误的决策损失数亿美元。 Shakes the head to throw these at sixes and sevens thoughts, Eric asked: „Robert. How do you think?” 摇摇头将这些乱七八糟的念头抛出去,艾瑞克问道:“罗伯特。那你是怎么想的？” Robert Shay said: „Is this, Eric. This movie altogether invests 13 million USD, this is not a small number, the new line also participated in the investment of 3 million USD, now Fox is not willing to distribute, we can only do. I thought that you vision in movie should be good, therefore wants to make you look Large expanse, helps to offer advice.” 罗伯特.谢伊道:“是这样的,艾瑞克。这部电影一共投资1300万美元,这不是一笔小数目,新线也参与了300万美元的投资,现在福克斯不肯发行,我们只能自己来做了。我觉得你在电影方面的眼光应该不错,所以想让你看一看成片,帮忙出出主意。” „Did copy bring?” Eric asked. “拷贝带来了吗？”艾瑞克问道。 Robert Shay has gawked staring: „No, I lead Mr. Zou to come with you to know, by the way this matter, we will go to the company to look tomorrow.” 罗伯特.谢伊愣了愣:“没有啊,我只是带邹先生来跟你认识一下,顺便提一下这件事,明天我们去公司看也可以。” Eric also realized one were impatient, although in his family/home has the personal response too, but Robert brings the copy, he is impossible to throw down in the hall these several hundred guests alone to leave, this too not politeness. 艾瑞克也意识到自己心急了,虽然他家里有私人反应太,但就算罗伯特将拷贝带来,他也不可能丢下大厅里这几百宾客独自离开,这太不礼貌了。 „Good, I will go to the company tomorrow morning, we look together.” “那好吧,我明天上午去公司,我们一起看一下。” „Un, this,” Robert was saying, referred to not far away saying: „I see an old friend, in the past greeted.” “嗯,就这样,”罗伯特说着,指了指不远处道:“我看到一个老朋友,过去打声招呼。” „At will, plays happy,” Eric said with a smile that looks at Robert to leave, Eric discovered that Raymond together has not actually left with Eric. “随意,玩的开心点,”艾瑞克笑着说道,看着罗伯特离开,艾瑞克发现雷蒙德却没有跟着艾瑞克一起离开。 „Mr. Zou, what matter do you have?” “邹先生,你还有什么事情吗？” „No, that Mr. Williams, you just said that you like the Hong Kong movie very much, how do you see to the Hong Kong movie?” “不,那个,威廉姆斯先生,你刚刚说你很喜欢香港电影,那你对香港电影怎么看？” Eric leads Raymond to move toward the self-service dinner table together, took some food, two talented people arrive to approach by the window sofa, sees Eric to come, greasy men and women on sofa had let the position hastily. 艾瑞克带着雷蒙德一起走向自助餐桌,取了一些食物,两个人才来到靠近落地窗的沙发旁,看到艾瑞克过来,原本腻在沙发上的一对男女连忙将位置让了出来。 Two people go down together, Eric said: „Mr. Zou, I thought that the discovery of Hong Kong movie completely lost the rationality now, before to the person one type is disillusioned, last crazy feeling.” 两个人一起走下,艾瑞克才道:“邹先生,我觉得香港电影的发现现在已经完全失去了理性,给人一种破灭前最后一场疯狂的感觉。” Raymond wanted to chat some outstanding Hong Kong movies with Eric, tries to get close, if can facilitate cooperates that to be good. Has not thought that actually heard Eric to mention the present situation of Hong Kong movie. Has smiled bitterly, but Raymond said: „Everybody made money to gain insanely, who will also think that many. Mr. Williams your this outsider actually looks is very clear, since this, Mr. Williams, you thought that has method that what solves?” 雷蒙德原本只是想要与艾瑞克聊聊一些优秀的香港电影,套套近乎,如果能够促成合作那就再好不过了。没想到却听到艾瑞克说起了香港电影的现状。苦笑了下,雷蒙德无奈说道:“大家赚钱都赚疯了,谁还会去想那么多。倒是威廉姆斯先生你这个局外人看的挺清楚的,既然这样,威廉姆斯先生,你觉得有什么解决的方法吗？” Eric can have any means that he spoke thoughtlessly according to the impression of previous life a saying. 艾瑞克能有什么办法,他只是根据前世的印象随口一说罢了。 Because of various limits, the Hong Kong movie prospect has almost been doomed, thinks that Eric said immediately earnestly: „Although I also like many Hong Kong movies, but regarding this situation, I do not have what means.” 因为各种限制,香港电影前景几乎已经注定,想了想,艾瑞克随即认真说道:“虽然我也喜欢不少香港电影,不过对于这种情形,我也没有什么办法。” Even if there are, now cannot use, at least must wait till for 20 years later, the mainland opened own film market thoroughly. However at that time, it is estimated that quickly did not have Hong Kong movie concept. 就算有,现在也用不上,至少要等到20年后,大陆彻底开放了自己的电影市场。不过那个时候,估计都快没有香港电影这个概念了。 Raymond sighed, looked at Eric, was probing asking: „, Mr. Williams, you thought that we do have the possibility of cooperation?” ( to be continued ) 雷蒙德叹了口气,看了看艾瑞克,试探着问道:“那么,威廉姆斯先生,你觉得我们有合作的可能性吗？”(未完待续)
