„Eric, this matter everybody is well aware, you why......” “艾瑞克,这件事大家都心知肚明,你何必……” Eric has interrupted the Murdoch words directly, asked: „This matter is who leads, I must know this. I know that definitely is not Fox, did not say that among us had these many cooperation, Fox got enough interests, moreover you must do, will definitely not elect at the beginning of the year this time, «Sleepless in Seattle» Box Office came under the influence of this disturbance to be very big. Therefore, is who coordinates to shoulder?” 艾瑞克直接打断了默多克的话,问道:“这件事是谁主导的,我要知道这个。我知道肯定不是福克斯,不说我们双方之间有这么多合作,福克斯获得了足够的利益,而且就算你们要做,也肯定不会选在年初这个时候,《西雅图夜未眠》的票房受到这场风波的影响很大。所以,是谁牵头挑起的？” Murdoch has gawked staring, said: „Eric, even if you knew can be what kind, although this time method was more intense, but also is very normal industry in competes.” 默多克愣了愣,说道:“艾瑞克,就算你知道了又能怎么样,这次的手段虽然激烈了一些,但也是很正常的业内竞争。” „Who is?” Eric coldly asked one. “是谁？”艾瑞克又冷冷地问了一声。 Is only Elizabeth that listens attentively to bored patted the tableware in hand on the table, rebuked stared Eric one, discontented say|way: „Hey, Eric, how you can such speak to my Papa, he is an elder!” 原本只是无聊倾听的伊丽莎白将手中的餐具拍在桌子上,嗔怪地瞪了艾瑞克一眼,不满道:“嘿,艾瑞克,你怎么可以这么对我爸爸说话,他好歹是长辈！” The intense atmosphere does not have by the atmosphere that girl such low does. 紧张的氛围被女郎这么一声低呵搞的气氛全无。 Murdoch wants to tap daughter's head to praise two really well, really the daughter turns toward her father inborn. Naturally, Elizabeth has grown up, he is impossible such to do again, therefore smiles is carrying the red wine, sips lightly. 默多克真想拍拍女儿的脑袋好好夸两句,果然女儿天生就是向着自己父亲的。当然,伊丽莎白已经长大了,他不可能再这么做,因此只是微笑着端起红酒,轻啜起来。 Eric looked at Elizabeth reluctantly, the girl is actually not showing weakness to stare. 艾瑞克无奈地望着伊丽莎白,女郎却毫不示弱地瞪了回来。 This owes young woman that pulls out, the man speaks to insert any mouth! 这欠抽的小娘们儿,男人说话插什么嘴啊！ Eric deeply inspired, puts the expression was leisurelier, said: „Mr. Murdoch, «Home Alone 2» this time Box Office as before very bright eye, although is inferior to first part, but global Box Office surpasses 300 million USD not any issue . Moreover, according to the Stuart present age, this sequel at least can also manufacture over three again. Do you think?” 艾瑞克深吸了口气,将语气放的轻缓了些,说道:“默多克先生,《小鬼当家2》这次的票房依旧很亮眼,虽然不及第一部,但全球票房超过3亿美元没有任何问题,而且,按照斯图现在的年龄,这部续集至少还可以再制作三部以上。你觉得呢？” „Michael Eisner,” Murdoch blurted out without hesitation. “迈克尔.艾斯纳,”默多克毫不犹豫地脱口而出。 Elizabeth is looking at the father astonished, did this sell does not have the moral integrity that the teammate also sold? Owed I just also to help you break through. 伊丽莎白惊愕地望着自己父亲,这卖队友也卖的太没节操了吧？亏我刚刚还帮你解围来着。 Among two ‚hateful’ the men has swept several. The girls have roused the cheek, carries the red wine to toss down spitefully. Simultaneously pledged at heart, no matter then has anything, did not speak. 在两个‘可恶’的男人之间扫了几眼。女郎鼓了鼓腮帮子,赌气地端起红酒一饮而尽。同时心里发誓,接下来不管发生什么,都再不说话了。 Movement that Eric has not actually noted the girl, he now at heart only then shocks. 艾瑞克却没有注意到女郎的动作,他现在心里只有震惊。 These days, he more than one everywhere has pondered, the back leads this matter, possibly is Warner, possibly is Universal. Possibly is Columbia, or present development situation not good Paramount, but to the Disney's Michael Eisner suspicion is least, even Disney operates the suspicion of this matter also to arrange after Fox. 这段时间,他不止一遍地思考过,背后主导这件事的,可能是华纳,可能是环球。可能是哥伦比亚,又或者现在发展状况不太好的派拉蒙,而对迪斯尼的迈克尔.艾斯纳怀疑是最少的,甚至迪斯尼操纵这件事的嫌疑还排在福克斯之后。 After all, although he is not many with the number of times that Michael Eisner contacts, but Michael Eisner has displayed one to appreciate his appearance before him . Moreover, Disney also has the sincerity in «The Others» and cooperation in 《Steel Magnolias》 two movie. 毕竟,他虽然与迈克尔.艾斯纳接触的次数不多,但迈克尔.艾斯纳在他面前一直都表现出一副非常欣赏他的模样,而且,迪斯尼在《小岛惊魂》和《钢木兰花》两部电影方面的合作也非常有诚意。 Murdoch sees Eric whole face unbelievable expression, said: „Eric, if you do not believe. Can try to prove casually, this matter passed, necessity that I have not lain completely. From the beginning, the matter is Michael Eisner coordinates, moreover a lot are he lead the execution, our several other with every effort coordinate.” 默多克见艾瑞克满脸难以置信的表情,说道:“艾瑞克,如果你不相信的话。可以随便去求证,这件事都已经过去了,我完全没有说谎的必要。从一开始,事情就是迈克尔.艾斯纳牵头的,而且很多事情都是他主导执行,我们其他几家只是尽力配合而已。” „How can...... Like this,” Eric muttered disappointedly. “怎么会……这样呢,”艾瑞克失望地喃喃自语了一声。 Murdoch thinks, said slowly: „In the past three quite splendid occupation Manager people who walked from Paramount, Barry Diller was most practical, he thought that so long as did well. Definitely can receive enough repayment, therefore I thought that he is also most naive. Therefore felt relieved that makes him wield Fox. But Jeffrey Katzenberg most adores with the filmmaking, he has placed at his main energy the movie. Therefore, he is not suitable to be the helmsman. As for Michael Eisner, then most resorts to all means that he can develop own enterprise handles anything. Therefore, I thought that in the future these three people, is the Michael Eisner achievement is definitely biggest, but I think that does not have the means to control this person, therefore, has not moved has gathered him to the thought of subordinates.” 默多克想了想,还是缓缓说道:“当年从派拉蒙走出来的三个比较出色的职业经理人,巴里.迪勒是最务实的,他觉得,只要好好做下去。肯定能获得足够的回报,所以我觉得他也是最天真的。因此才放心地让他执掌福克斯。而杰弗瑞.卡森伯格是最倾心与电影制作的,他把自己的主要精力都放在了电影上。因此,他并不适合做掌舵人。至于迈克尔.艾斯纳,则是最不择手段的,他可以为了发展自己的事业做任何事情。所以,我觉得将来这三个人,肯定是迈克尔.艾斯纳成就最大,但我自认为没办法控制这个人,所以,也没动过将他招揽到麾下的念头。” Eric sighed lightly, shakes the head saying: „I thought that was too accidental.” 艾瑞克轻叹了口气,摇着头道:“我只是觉得太意外了。” Why does not know, Murdoch could not bear is Michael Eisner argued one: „Eisner handles the matter that the most standard merchant should handle.” 不知道为何,默多克忍不住为迈克尔.艾斯纳辩解了一句:“艾斯纳只是做了一个最标准的商人应该做的事情而已。” „Yes, standard merchant,” Eric self-ridiculed that smiled. “是啊,标准的商人,”艾瑞克自嘲地笑了笑。 „That, Eric, matters about «Home Alone» series......” “那么,艾瑞克,关于《小鬼当家》系列的事情……” „Firefly can with the release contracts of Fox direct signature future three «Home Alone» series, but, I will not hold the post of Director again personally, but I will hold a concurrent post of Producer.” “萤火虫可以与福克斯直接签署未来三部《小鬼当家》系列的发行合约,不过,我不会再亲自担任导演了,不过我会兼任制作人。” Murdoch shows also happily also sorrow look: „Eric, why didn't you come personally?” 默多克露出亦喜亦忧的神色:“艾瑞克,为什么你不亲自来了呢？” „Has shot two continuously, I have somewhat been weary, therefore wants to save to produce other movies the time. Moreover, the «Home Alone» advertisement is Stewart. Runkle, so long as maintains the style of movie is invariable, comes Director not to have the issue by whom.” “连续拍了两部,我有些厌倦了,所以想将时间节省下来制作其他的电影。而且,《小鬼当家》的招牌是斯图尔特.朗克尔,所以只要保持电影的风格不变,由谁来导演都没有问题。” Eric replied, although this was also part of reasons, but, mainly, previous life «Home Alone» only then two obtained the huge success, third because of Macaulay. Culkin grew up to change the lead, the result has collapsed completely. 艾瑞克答道,虽然这也是一部分理由,不过,主要还是,前世《小鬼当家》只有两部获得了巨大的成功,第三部因为麦考利.卡尔金长大而换了主角,成绩一败涂地。 Although this space and time, because Eric chooses the corner/horn to be appropriate, Stewart this year is only nine years old, can continue to pat, but the prospect of Eric to this series does not have any energy, therefore generously directly signs the following three release contracts with Fox. 虽然这一时空因为艾瑞克选角得当,斯图尔特今年才九岁,可以继续拍下去,不过艾瑞克对这个系列的前景也没有任何底气,因此才慷慨地直接和福克斯签下接下来三部的发行合约。 Murdoch hears the explanation of Eric, cannot discover the rebuttal the reason, to Hollywood Director of Eric this rank, majority has not liked the shoots sequel. Therefore he accepted the explanation of Eric very much easily. 默多克听到艾瑞克的解释,也找不出反驳的理由,到了艾瑞克这个级别的好莱坞导演,大部分都不喜欢拍摄续集。因此他很容易就接受了艾瑞克的解释。 „Eric, although you do not want to instruct personally, but I hope that you can continue the responsible script matter.” Murdoch draws back to ask next to say. “艾瑞克,虽然你不想亲自指导了,但我希望你能继续负责剧本的事情。”默多克退而求其次地说道。 Eric nodded: „This I will definitely participate.” 艾瑞克点了点头:“这个我肯定会参与的。” At this time, the three person front suppers of finished eating, the waiter removed the tableware, exchanged the coffee. 这时候,三个人面前的晚餐都已经吃完,侍者将餐具撤了下去,换上咖啡。 Since Eric got the answer that oneself wanted, Murdoch then discussed that with Eric matters about Fox TV Station several grades of programs, Firefly is the Fox TV Station shareholder, Eric complies to supervise the manufacture of «Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?» after all refreshedly personally and ensure at the end of this month can smooth broadcasting, actually «Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?» originally arranged unusual is perfect, similar that including issue storehouse designed, if because of this disturbance, perhaps cannot make an appearance in early March officially. But the «X-Files» situation is also similar, the present first volume should manufacture to be completed. 既然艾瑞克已经得到了自己想要的答案,默多克便与艾瑞克商量起了关于福克斯电视台几档节目的事情,萤火虫毕竟是福克斯电视台的股东,艾瑞克爽快地答应会亲自督促《谁会成为百万富翁》的制作,保证这个月底能够顺利的播出,其实《谁会成为百万富翁》本来就已经筹备的非常完善,连问题库都已经设计的差不多,如果不是因为这场风波,或许三月初就可以正式露面。而《x档案》的情况也差不多,原本现在的第一集应该已经制作完成了。 Although the dragging of Firefly also violated both sides to realize the signature the contract, but Fox was thinking, if Firefly submitted, can bring complete copyright of several grades of programs completely, therefore has not made to Firefly the breach of contract too responded. But now, both sides reconciled, Fox is impossible to investigate again this matter, but jumps over this matter superficially in a few words. 虽然萤火虫的这种拖延也违反了双方实现签署的合约,但福克斯原本想着,如果萤火虫屈服的话,可以将几档节目的完整版权全部都拿过来,因此也没有对萤火虫的这种违约行为作出太多反应。而现在,双方已经和解,福克斯也不可能再追究这件事,而只是轻描淡写地三言两语中将这件事跳过。 Discussed that proper business, Murdoch carried the coffee to drink several, calmly asked: „Eric, this year your 's movie had the plan, planned to shoot several?” 商议完了正事,默多克端起咖啡喝了几口,才若无其事地问道:“艾瑞克,你今年的电影有计划了吗,打算拍几部？” Hears this issue, Elizabeth also cast the curious vision absent-mindedly. 听到这个问题,原本心不在焉地伊丽莎白也投来好奇的目光。 Eric has drunk coffee leisurely, thinks saying: „Two, has determined, but script is still refusing to compromise, that screenwriter initial price initial price is somewhat odd, in addition these days matter, I temporarily have not found time to discuss the script matter.” 艾瑞克慢悠悠地喝了一口咖啡,想了想说道:“两部吧,有一部已经确定了,不过剧本还在僵持,那个编剧开价开价有些离谱,再加上这段时间的事情,我也暂时没有抽空去谈剧本的事情。” „Is that script about spirit?” Elizabeth could not bear insert one. “是那部关于幽灵的剧本吗？”伊丽莎白忍不住插了一句。 Eric looks curiously to the girl, this matter passed on was so widespread? 艾瑞克好奇地看向女郎,这件事已经传的这么广泛了吗？ Was staring by Eric, girl cheek somewhat blushes slightly, said: „I heard, you...... Very favors this script, therefore also inquired.” 被艾瑞克盯着,女郎脸蛋微微有些发红,说道:“我听说,你……挺看好这个剧本的,所以也打听了一下。” Eric looks that Elizabeth definitely had the section of Hu's thought that but definitely has not succeeded evidently. 艾瑞克一眼就看出来,伊丽莎白肯定动了截胡的念头,不过看样子肯定是没有成功。 As if was seen through the thoughts, girl was more embarrassed, then said: „...... However I make the person contact with that named Bruce. Joy. When Robin screenwriter, the opposite party said that script has sold.” 似乎被看穿了心思,女郎更加不好意思了,却接着道:“不过……不过我让人联系那个名叫布鲁斯.乔伊.罗宾的编剧时,对方却说,剧本已经卖出去了啊。” Eric stands up surprisedly suddenly, looks at Elizabeth: „Sold?” 艾瑞克惊讶地猛然站起身,看着伊丽莎白:“卖出去了？” „Yes,...... Wasn't you buy?” Elizabeth raises the cheek to look at Eric, doubts asks. “是啊,难道……难道不是你买了吗？”伊丽莎白扬起脸蛋看着艾瑞克,疑惑地问道。 „Sorry, I need to make several phone calls,” Eric toward was saying toward them, takes up mobile phone to walk toward not far away corner. “抱歉,我需要去打几个电话,”艾瑞克朝朝两人说着,拿起手提电话朝不远处地角落走去。 Looks that stands takes mobile phone to keep the digit dialing in not far away, Eric that simultaneously somewhat anxiously roves, Murdoch asked that the daughter said: „Is Liz, what script?” 看着站在不远处拿着手提电话不停拨号,同时有些焦躁地转来转去的艾瑞克,默多克问女儿道:“莉兹,是什么剧本？” The girls see the Eric form, some said to the father meanly: „Is love story script, I cannot see the complete story, but heard probably, probably is a bank staff, worked together to murder to turn into the ghost, then protects the girlfriend also to take revenge and so on, in any case, is about this.” 女郎看着艾瑞克的身影,有些幸灾乐祸地对父亲道:“是一个爱情故事剧本,我没能看到完整的故事,只是大概听说了,好像是一个银行职员,被同事谋杀变成了鬼魂,然后保护女友并且复仇之类的,反正,大致就是这样。” Murdoch looked at Eric, vision flashed, does not know that was pondering over anything. 默多克看了看艾瑞克,眼光闪动,不知道在琢磨什么。 Crossed some little time, Eric a face loses returns to the seat. 过了好一会儿,艾瑞克才一脸失落地回到位子上。 The Murdoch old god is drinking the coffee in the place, the meaning of not having opened the mouth, then Elizabeth opened the mouth: „Eric, who buys?” 默多克老神在在地喝着咖啡,没有开口的意思,然后伊丽莎白就开口了:“艾瑞克,谁买去的？” „Michael Eisner,” Eric has squeezed out a personal name reluctantly. “迈克尔.艾斯纳,”艾瑞克无奈地挤出了一个人名。 The girls also asked: „What to do do you plan?” 女郎又问道:“那你打算怎么办？” Can, Eric almost be what to do conceivable, is astute by Michael Eisner, buys this script, definitely rashly will not carry on shoots by Disney, but is the plan brings to cooperate with him. ( to be continued ) 能怎么办,艾瑞克几乎可以想象,以迈克尔.艾斯纳精明,买走这个剧本,肯定不会贸然由迪斯尼自己进行拍摄,而是打算拿来与他合作。(未完待续)
