After a while, Eric carried mobile phone to return to the conference room, Robert Shay also to put down the coffee cup in hand, inquired about that looked to Eric. 过了一会儿,艾瑞克拎着手提电话回到会议室,罗伯特.谢伊也跟着放下了手中的咖啡杯,探寻地望向艾瑞克。 „Is Michael Eisner,” in the Eric expression has one vividly to answer. “是迈克尔.艾斯纳,”艾瑞克语气里带着一丝轻快地解释道。 „To invite you to chat?” Robert Shay selects the eyebrow to ask slightly, he also knew matter that a while ago the disturbance was Michael Eisner in back facilitation. “是不是想要邀请你谈谈？”罗伯特.谢伊微微挑眉问道,他也知道了前段时间风波是迈克尔.艾斯纳在背后一手促成的事情。 Eric nodded, sits down to say on the chair: „Yes.” 艾瑞克点了点头,在椅子上重新坐下道:“是的。” „Did you comply?” Robert Shay asked curiously. “你答应了没有？”罗伯特.谢伊好奇地问道。 „Listens to him saying that anything might also as well, I am all right in any case in the evening.” Eric was saying places mobile phone on hand, then said: „Robert, since you are not willing to take over «Basic Instinct», that as soon as possible chooses script, now already in March, if not identify the project that it is estimated that is very difficult to catch up with summer the files.” “去听听他说什么也无妨,反正我晚上没事。”艾瑞克说着将手提电话放在手边,又接着道:“罗伯特,既然你不愿意接手《本能》,那就尽快挑选一下剧本吧,现在已经三月份了,如果再不将项目确定下来,估计很难赶上暑期档。” Robert sees Eric no longer fills «Basic Instinct» this script to oneself, relaxed slightly at the same time, some unavoidable contradictory losing, this after all is Eric personally compilation script. 罗伯特见艾瑞克不再将《本能》这个剧本强塞给自己,稍微松了口气的同时,又难免有些矛盾性的失落,这毕竟是艾瑞克亲自编写的剧本啊。 However he adjusts quickly the mood, said: „I understand that for serveral days I collected six script, waits for me to let the assistant with you, you help me have a look.” 不过他很快就将情绪调整过来,说道:“我明白,这些天我又搜集了六个剧本,等下我让助理拿给你,你帮我看看。” Eric shook the head: „Does not use, I thought that is chosen by you personally quite well, my impossible 100% guarantee movies to succeed, when you chose script, with signed to me on the line.” 艾瑞克摇了摇头:“不用了,我觉得,还是由你亲自挑选比较好,我也不可能100保证电影会成功的,等你挑选好了剧本,拿给我签字就行。” Robert Shay has gawked staring, immediately understands Eric this was the preparation has dropped thoroughly, then, in the future the success or failure of movie, thoroughly with Eric any relations, he certainly do not take full responsibility. But Robert Shay is not the person who does not take on. After hesitation of moment, nodded: „, I will choose script as soon as possible.” 罗伯特.谢伊愣了愣,随即明白艾瑞克这是准备彻底放手了,那么,将来影片的成败,将彻底与艾瑞克没有任何关系,他自己肯定就要负全责。但罗伯特.谢伊也不是毫无担当的人。只是片刻的迟疑过后,就点了点头:“那么,我会尽快挑选剧本的。” ...... …… After getting off work. Eric drives to return to Malibu, but destination is actually not own Cliff Peak Manor. But is mansion of Michael Eisner situated in Malibu. 下班之后。艾瑞克开车返回马里布,不过目的地却不是自己的尖角庄园。而是迈克尔.艾斯纳位于马里布的一栋豪宅。 „Eric, was very happy that you can come, please enter,” servant led Eric just to enter the mansion front door, Michael Eisner then all smiles welcomed. “艾瑞克,很高兴你能过来,请进吧,”佣人领着艾瑞克刚刚走进豪宅大门,迈克尔.艾斯纳便满面笑容地迎了上来。 „Hello, Mr. Eisner,” Eric has shown a polite smile, has grasped starting with Michael Eisner slightly. “你好,艾斯纳先生,”艾瑞克露出了一个礼貌性的微笑,与迈克尔.艾斯纳稍微握了下手。 Michael Eisner has not cared about the desolateness of Eric slightly. The whole face happy expression said as before: „Eric, I invite a renowned French chef to make the tonight's supper specially personally, we went.” 迈克尔.艾斯纳丝毫没有在意艾瑞克的冷淡。依旧满脸笑意地说道:“艾瑞克,我特意邀请了一位著名的法国厨师亲自制作今晚的晚餐,我们进去吧。” The Eric nod goes to dining room with Michael Eisner directly, in entire supper process, besides the servant who often presents, in the dining room has Michael Eisner and Eric two people. Michael Eisner was introducing to Eric skilled the fine place of French cooked food carry, waited for a food to finish eating, but also invited that to lead the French chef of certainly high chef's hat to come out specially, three people have taken a picture. 艾瑞克点头跟着迈克尔.艾斯纳直接来到餐厅,整个晚餐过程中,除了不时出现的佣人之外,餐厅里只有迈克尔.艾斯纳和艾瑞克两个人。迈克尔.艾斯纳熟练地向艾瑞克介绍着一道道端上来的法国菜肴的精致之处,等一顿饭吃完,还特意请来那位带着一定高高的厨师帽的法国厨师出来,三个人合了一张影。 Admires Michael Eisner good patient at the same time at heart secretly, Eric calmly is also enjoying this supper. In any case now initiative in his hands. 心里暗暗佩服迈克尔.艾斯纳好耐性的同时,艾瑞克也不动声色地享用着这场晚餐。反正现在主动权在他手里。 Had the supper, Michael Eisner brings Eric to enter own study room, after the servant finished attending the coffee to draw back. Michael Eisner said: „Eric, since the matter passed, I thought that we should also chat the matter of cooperation.” 吃过晚餐,迈克尔.艾斯纳才带着艾瑞克进了自己的书房,等佣人上完咖啡退出去之后。迈克尔.艾斯纳才说道:“艾瑞克,既然事情都过去了,我觉得,我们也该谈谈合作的事情了。” The Eric corners of the mouth hang up finally wipe taunt the chuckle: „Cooperation?” 艾瑞克嘴角终于挂起一抹嘲讽的轻笑:“合作？” Michael Eisner smiles as before was saying: „Yes, the cooperation, Eric, in this world does not have forever enemy, only then forever benefit, although this is the United Kingdom diplomatic plan. However, I thought. Places in the companies equally to be also general.” 迈克尔.艾斯纳依旧微笑着说道:“是的,合作,艾瑞克,这个世界上没有永远的敌人,只有永远的利益,虽然这是英国的外交方略。不过,我觉得。放在公司之间也一样通用。” „Not forever enemy, only then forever benefit.” Eric shook the head to smile several, then said: „Mr. Eisner, if you have choice to be able with your friend, or the neutral cooperates, then you can also with your enemy cooperation?” “没有永远的敌人,只有永远的利益。”艾瑞克摇头笑了几下,接着道:“艾斯纳先生,如果你有选择可以和自己的朋友,或者中立者合作的话,那么你还会和自己的敌人合作吗？” „Naturally,” Michael Eisner will not say: „But, Eric, you think in Hollywood, does Firefly have the friend? Happiness that very although you and Fox cooperate, but believes me, so long as there is an opportunity, Murdoch definitely maliciously will carry on the back to insert a blade after Firefly.” “当然不会,”迈克尔.艾斯纳道:“不过,艾瑞克,你觉得在好莱坞,萤火虫有朋友吗？虽然你们与福克斯合作的很愉快,不过相信我,只要有机会,默多克肯定会狠狠在萤火虫后背上插一刀的。” „This I also know, therefore, I will not give Mr. Murdoch this opportunity as far as possible, in the meantime, regarding had inserted the enemy of knife in the back, I to the opposite party opportunity,” Eric careless carrying coffee will not say. “这个我也知道,因此,我会尽量不给默多克先生这个机会的,同时,对于已经在背后插过刀子的敌人,我就更加不会给对方机会了,”艾瑞克漫不经心的端起咖啡说道。 Michael Eisner heard Eric saying that as before was maintaining the smile, said: „Eric, I want definitely also to know something, I did not deny, therefore, I thought that we reconcile.” 迈克尔.艾斯纳听到艾瑞克这么说,依旧保持着微笑,道:“艾瑞克,我想肯定也知道了一些事情,我也不否认,所以,我觉得,我们还是和解吧。” „Reconciliation?” Eric gains ground to ask: „Reconciles?” “和解？”艾瑞克抬起头问道:“怎么和解？” Michael Eisner brings the light self-confidence saying: „«Ghost» is script what kind of?” 迈克尔.艾斯纳带着淡淡的自信说道:“《人鬼情未了》的剧本怎么样？” Eric wants not to want directly to shake the head: „Mr. Eisner, I do not lack script, therefore does not want to cooperate with Disney. Did not have «Ghost», I choose other was good. Moreover, I ensure Disney cannot manufacture in my heart already that «Ghost» that has formed in one's mind, you this filmmaking, could slightly gain one, but is absolutely impossible becomes the classics, can sell greatly is more difficult to say.” 艾瑞克想要不想就直接摇头:“艾斯纳先生,我不缺剧本,所以也不想跟迪斯尼合作。没了《人鬼情未了》,那我就选择其他的好了。而且,我保证,迪斯尼制作不出我心中已经有所构思的那个《人鬼情未了》,你们将这部电影制作出来,或许能小赚一笔,但绝对不可能成为经典,能不能大卖就更难说了。” „, Eric, I do not think that you do not have to understand completely my meaning, I meant that Disney gives «Ghost» script to you, then, we reconcile, what kind of?” “不不不,艾瑞克,我想你没有完全明白我的意思,我是说,迪斯尼将《人鬼情未了》的剧本转让给你,然后,我们和解,怎么样？” Eric somewhat surprisedly gains ground finally, sees Michael Eisner to have the self-confident vision, immediately, Eric has thought of other issues: „Mr. Eisner, I think Disney to purchase «Ghost» this script, definitely spent the high price, perhaps also promised Bruce. Joy. Robin part draws bonus, right?” 艾瑞克终于有些惊讶地抬起头,看到迈克尔.艾斯纳带着自信的目光,随即,艾瑞克就想到了另外一些问题:“艾斯纳先生,我想迪斯尼为了购买《人鬼情未了》这个剧本,肯定花了大价钱,或许还答应了布鲁斯.乔伊.罗宾一部分分红,对吗？” „Yes,” the Michael Eisner nod said: „1 million USD cashes and 3% North America gain sharing.” “是的,”迈克尔.艾斯纳点头道:“100万美元现金和3%的北美利润分成。” Eric plate consider as finished, if according to the previous life result, then this sum of money adds to surpass 3 million, perhaps, regarding the future profit, this sum of money will not be anything. But regarding does not know completely result Disney, this initial price somewhat was simply odd. 艾瑞克盘算了一下,如果按照前世的成绩,那么这笔钱加起来超过300万,或许,对于将来的利润来说,这笔钱不算什么。但对于完全不知道结果的迪斯尼来说,这个开价简直就有些离谱了。 Saw that Eric is silent silent, Michael Eisner said: „Eric, Disney has the sincerity, therefore, so long as we reconcile, I free give this script to Firefly.” 看到艾瑞克沉默沉默不语,迈克尔.艾斯纳才道:“艾瑞克,迪斯尼是非常有诚意的,所以,只要我们和解,我就将这部剧本免费转让给萤火虫。” „Your contracts what to do?” Eric asked subconsciously: „I think, Bruce. Joy. Robin will definitely not be resigned.” “那你们的合约怎么办？”艾瑞克下意识问道:“我想,布鲁斯.乔伊.罗宾肯定不会甘心的。” „This is actually very good to be solved, Disney gives script to Firefly, waits for the filmmaking, is distributed by Disney, is Bruce. Joy. Share of Robin can transfer from some Disney's that profits, do you think what kind of?” “这其实很好解决,迪斯尼将剧本转让给萤火虫,等电影制作出来,由迪斯尼来发行,那么,属于布鲁斯.乔伊.罗宾的分成可以从迪斯尼的那部分利润里划拨,你觉得怎么样？” „Firefly and Disney distribute together . Moreover, movie copyright turns over to Firefly,” Eric had pondered fast, such said that since Michael Eisner can make has the choice of boldness like this, if he is also calculating, that appeared too petty. “萤火虫和迪斯尼共同进行发行,而且,电影版权归萤火虫,”艾瑞克快速思考了一番,才这么说道,既然迈克尔.艾斯纳能够做出这样有魄力的抉择,他自己要是还斤斤计较,那就显得太小家子气了。 On the other hand, gives the Disney release the movie completely, although can the maximum benefit, but such Firefly own channel do not think that has developed . Moreover the words that this condition has continued, Firefly will definitely degenerate into previous life DreamWorks such, can produce the good movie, does not have enough strength release, can only struggle to seek livehood in several big Film Studio. 另一方面,将电影完全交给迪斯尼发行,虽然能够利益最大化,但那样萤火虫自身的渠道就别想有所拓展,而且这种状况一直持续下去的话,萤火虫肯定会沦为前世梦工厂那样,能够制作出好电影,却没有足够实力发行,只能在几大电影公司之间挣扎求生。 Moreover, these years was to develop the Firefly distribution circuit should better is also the final opportunity, because the cost of the early 90's these years filmmaking was not too high, therefore, Eric decided that even if were these years little gains, must develop the Firefly distribution circuit. Otherwise, to the late 90's, the special effect big piece emerged, then frequently over a hundred million USD production costs, if no own distribution circuit, then the condition will be pitiful. The profit was grasped several big Film Studio of distribution circuit to eliminate majority, Production Studio to even discovered finally one cannot receive including the production cost. 而且,这几年是拓展萤火虫发行渠道的最好也是最后的时机,因为九十年代初的这几年电影制作的成本还不算太高,因此,艾瑞克打定主意,哪怕是这几年少赚一些,也要将萤火虫的发行渠道开拓出来。不然的话,到了九十年代后期,特效大片兴起,那么动辄上亿美元的制作成本,如果没有自己的发行渠道的话,那么境况将非常悲惨。利润大部分都被掌握发行渠道的几大电影公司剥夺,制作公司到最后甚至发现自己连制作成本都收不回来。 Hears the Eric expression to become less crowded, Michael Eisner wants not to think that the direct nod said: „Does not have the issue.” 听到艾瑞克语气松动,迈克尔.艾斯纳想都没想,直接点头道:“没问题。” Michael Eisner spoke these words, the atmosphere between both sides becomes somewhat is immediately silent. Michael Eisner own goal has been achieved, but wants to enable Eric that Michael Eisner gets refused to insist. 迈克尔.艾斯纳说完这句话,双方之间的气氛顿时变得有些沉默起来。迈克尔.艾斯纳自己的目的达到了,而原本想让迈克尔.艾斯纳碰钉子的艾瑞克也没能坚持下去。 Drinks up front coffee, Eric stands up to say on own initiative: „, Mr. Eisner, does not have the words of other matters, I first went back.” 喝完面前的咖啡,艾瑞克主动站起身道:“那么,艾斯纳先生,没有其他事情的话,我就先回去了。” „I deliver you,” Michael Eisner stands up. “我送你,”迈克尔.艾斯纳跟着站起身。 Has sent out the mansion Eric, under Michael Eisner is cold the complexion to return to the study room silent, takes up put in the desk corner, several common folders, inside is the «Ghost» movie project plan book that several Disney Director make. 一直将艾瑞克送出豪宅,迈克尔.艾斯纳才冷下脸色沉默地返回书房,拿起原本搁在书桌角落里,几个不起眼的文件夹,里面是好几个迪斯尼导演做出来的《人鬼情未了》的电影项目策划书。 Michael Eisner can be said as now in seven big Film Studio helmsmen, about Eric knew that deepest, is knows deepest one to Eric individual potential. Therefore, he will unite several other Film Studio year ago, started to the joint suppression of Firefly, because what a pity some careless mistakes in process, the matter has not succeeded. But saw after Murdoch contacts the Eric news on own initiative, Michael Eisner reconciles on the decisive underground determination and Eric. After all, just like he started say, did not have forever enemy, only then forever benefit. 迈克尔.艾斯纳可以说是现在七大电影公司掌舵人中,对艾瑞克了解最深的一个,同时也是对艾瑞克的个人潜力知晓最深的一个。因此,他才会在年前联合其他几家电影公司,发动了对萤火虫的联合打压,可惜因为过程中的一些纰漏,事情没有成功。而看到默多克主动接触艾瑞克的新闻之后,迈克尔.艾斯纳就果断地下决心与艾瑞克和解。毕竟,正如他开始所说的,没有永远的敌人,只有永远的利益。 Moreover, Michael Eisner had not planned is the price and Eric reconciles with «Ghost» script, but, he let several well-known Director of Disney takes away the research a while ago «Ghost» script, project alternative that then, these people provide, is now his these things in hand, has not made Michael Eisner satisfied. ( to be continued ) 而且,原本迈克尔.艾斯纳也没有打算用《人鬼情未了》的剧本为代价与艾瑞克和解,但是,他前段时间让迪斯尼旗下的好几位知名导演将《人鬼情未了》的剧本拿去研究,然后,这些人提供出来的项目方案,也就是现在他手里的这些东西,没有一个让迈克尔.艾斯纳满意的。(未完待续)
