Michael Eisnersaid: „These days, DisneycontinuouslytheynegotiatedwithRenny HarlinandGeena Davis, nowDisneyhas signedthreeyears of contractwiththem, withinthreeyears, Renny HarlinandGeena Davisare notanyFilm Studio outside Disneywill work.”迈克尔.艾斯纳道:“这段时间,迪斯尼一直在与雷尼.哈林和吉娜.戴维斯两人谈判,现在迪斯尼已经与他们签署了三年的合约,三年之内,雷尼.哈林和吉娜.戴维斯不会为迪斯尼以外的任何电影公司工作。”Robert Shayhas been startled the moment, realizedthesetwopeople who Michael Eisnersaidwhoare, simultaneouslyhealsounderstandsthatneglect of because oneselfhas made a verybigmistake, heshouldfirstwiththesetwopersonsignaturecontracts, thenwithsevenbignegotiations.罗伯特.谢伊怔了片刻,才意识到迈克尔.艾斯纳说的这两个人是谁,同时他也明白,因为自己的忽略而犯了一个很大的错误,他应该先与这两个人签署合约,再与七大谈判。WhenEricand«Cutthroat Island»scriptallpersonBruce Evanscontacts, oncehad disclosedinvitedthemto hold the post ofDirector and Heroineintention, this pointafterhishigh pricebought«Cutthroat Island»script, understoodBruce Evans of matterlong and short of the storyhas confessedspecially.
在艾瑞克与《割喉岛》剧本所有人布鲁斯.埃文斯接触的时候,曾透露过邀请两人担任导演和女主角的意图,这一点在他高价买下《割喉岛》剧本后,已经明白了事情来龙去脉的布鲁斯.埃文斯特意交代过。FacingMichael Eisnernot minceaggressive, Robert Shaybraces oneself saying: „Hollywoodmostdoes not lackisDirectorandActress, Icanchange players, do not wantto coercemeaccording tothis, wantsnot to think.”
面对迈克尔.艾斯纳毫不掩饰地咄咄逼人,罗伯特.谢伊硬着头皮道:“好莱坞最不缺的就是导演和女演员,我可以换人,你别想依此要挟我,想都别想。”„Iincoercingyou, wenowindiscussingmatter of cooperation,” the Michael Eisnerexpressionbecomesverydesolate, when did not haveinitially the kindnesswithRobert Shaycooperation«Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles»overseasdistribution rights: „«Cutthroat Island»andcostare less than30 millionUSD«Ghost»are different, thisisoneat leastneeds the superbigmanufacture of 70 millionUSD, the announcementlatertotal cost has been very possiblehundred million. Likeabout«Ghost»anecdotesuch that Ijust said that becauseifchanges players, causes the Box Officeunfavorable situation of «Cutthroat Island», this kind ofbiginvestmentmovie will possibly lose money.

“我不是在要挟你,我们现在是在谈合作的事情,”迈克尔.艾斯纳语气变得非常冷淡,丝毫没有了当初与罗伯特.谢伊合作《忍者神龟》海外发行权时的和颜悦色:“《割喉岛》与成本不到3000万美元的《人鬼情未了》不同,这是一部至少需要7000万美元的超级大制作,宣发之后的总成本很可能过亿。就像我刚刚说的关于《人鬼》的轶事那样,如果因为换人,导致《割喉岛》的票房失利,这样一部大投资电影很可能就会亏损。而且票房的亏损造成的影响是连带性的,电影后续录像带发行和电视转播权收益都会大幅度减少。所以你看,你拥有剧本,但迪斯尼却拥有导演和女主角,我们还需要为这部电影做发行。这样算下来,其实依旧是你占了便宜。当然,你也可以等三年时间,不过如果我没有记错的话,你和布鲁斯.埃文斯签的合约期限也只有三年,三年没有制作出影片。剧本所有权就会自动回到布鲁斯.埃文斯手中,你觉得下一次,你还能再拿到这个剧本吗？”Robert Shayplaceshand on a seat arm restto shiverrapidly, obviouslyis excited, facing the Michael Eisneraggressivevision. Robert Shayaspiratedfinallydejected: „Good, wechattedagain.”罗伯特.谢伊放在座椅扶手上的一只手急促地颤抖着,显然心情非常激动,面对迈克尔.艾斯纳咄咄逼人的目光。罗伯特.谢伊最终颓然地吐了口气:“好吧,我们再谈谈。”

……New Yorkhad just had a heavy snow, the weatherbecomesexceptionallycold.纽约刚刚下了一场大雪,天气变得异常寒冷。
The Manhattan60hotels, are the previoushousinganteroom, Ericwake upas in the morning, jogged for a halfhouron the treadmill, took a bath, plansto go todownstairsto eat mealas usual.曼哈顿60苏豪酒店,依旧是上次居住的套房,艾瑞克早晨醒来,在跑步机上慢跑了半个小时,洗了个澡,打算照例去楼下吃饭。Enters the elevator. Erichas pressedunder the button, looks at the indicating lampbored, whateverelevatortosliding, to the thirdtime. The elevatorstoppedsuddenly.
走进电梯。艾瑞克按了下按钮,无聊地看着指示灯任由电梯向下滑去,到了第三层的时候。电梯突然停了下来。Knows that somepeoplemustcome, Ericdrew backonesteptoward the corner , the elevator dooropened, both handsinserted the tall and slenderwomaninblackwindproof coatpocketjuststeppedonestep, visionlooking at each other, theysaidas if by prior agreement: „Isyou?”
知道有人要进来,艾瑞克朝角落里退了一步,电梯门打开,双手插在黑色风衣口袋里的高挑女人刚刚跨进来一步,目光对视,两人不约而同地说道:“是你？”Erichints the womanto come. Closes the elevator door, asked: „Kathryn. How did youcomeNew York?”艾瑞克示意女人进来。关上电梯门,问道:“凯瑟琳。你怎么来纽约了？”Kathryn Bigelowhas sized curiously upEric, said: „IcomeNew Yorkto relax. You?”凯瑟琳.毕格罗好奇地上上下下打量了一番艾瑞克,说道:“我来纽约散心。你呢？”„Imake money,”Ericsimple and briefsaid.
“我来赚钱,”艾瑞克简洁明了地说道。Kathryn Bigelowthinks that Eric is cracking a joke, very muchcoordinatesteasedwith a smile: „Reallyvulgar.”凯瑟琳.毕格罗以为艾瑞克是在开玩笑,很配合的笑着调侃道:“真庸俗。”Onlysaidtwowords, the elevatorarrived at the floor, EricandKathryn Bigelowgoes out of the elevatorshoulder to shoulder, said: „Did not mind that has a breakfastwithmythisworldling, do Itreat?”
只说了两句话,电梯已经到达了底层,艾瑞克与凯瑟琳.毕格罗并肩走出电梯,说道:“不介意和我这个俗人一起吃个早餐吧,我请客？”„Good, Iwill be impolitetoyourthisbigrich and powerful people.”
“好啊,对你这个大富豪我是不会客气的。”Enters the dining roomtogether, looked for a tableto sit down, justhad ordered the breakfastto the waiter, a bigwhite manwalked, towardKathryn Bigelowslight bow, handedin front ofonepack of newspaperand a folderEric: „Mr. Williams, thisistoday'snewspaper, the document that severallast nightLos Angelesfaxcame, Mr.Hanssonexhortedyouto look, returned the calltohim.”
一起走进餐厅,找了张桌子坐下,刚刚向侍者点过早餐,一个高大白人男子走了过来,朝凯瑟琳.毕格罗微微点了点头,将一叠报纸和一份文件夹递到艾瑞克面前:“威廉姆斯先生,这是今天的报纸,还有几份昨晚洛杉矶传真过来的文件,汉森先生嘱咐你看完之后给他回电话。”„Iknew,”Ericnods, because of the Kathrynreasonon the scene, hehad not planned that before the breakfastcomes uplooks atthesethings, but one side convenientlyplacesnewspaper and document.
“我知道了,”艾瑞克点点头,因为凯瑟琳在场的缘故,他并没有打算趁着早餐上来之前看这些东西,只是随手将报纸和文件放在一边。Kathryn Bigelowgazes afterthatsuddenmanto return to the seat of corner, curiouslyasked: „Whothatis, Alan?”凯瑟琳.毕格罗目送着那名突然出现的男子回到角落的位子上,才好奇地问道:“那是谁啊,艾伦呢？”„Mybodyguard, AlaninLos Angeles, thereforemakeshimbe a guest performer a nexttemporaryassistant, said that you, yousuddenlywill appear howhere?”
“我的保镖,艾伦在洛杉矶,所以让他客串一下临时助理,还是说说你吧,你怎么会突然出现在这里？”Kathryn Bigelowsaid: „Ihave lived for tenyearsinSoho, recentlyjustdivorcedthatbastard, seessomeold friends, relaxeswhile convenient.”凯瑟琳.毕格罗道:“我在苏豪区住过十年时间呢,最近刚刚跟那个混蛋离了婚,就过来看望一些老朋友,顺便散散心。”Ericremembers that afterwardKathryn BigelowandCameronhave cooperatedas before, butnow, the womanobviouslyhas| the matter of axleto take to hearttoCameron, the shorttimeis impossibleto forgive the opposite party.艾瑞克记得后来凯瑟琳.毕格罗与卡梅隆依旧有所合作,不过现在,女人显然对卡梅隆出丨轨的事情耿耿于怀,短时间不可能原谅对方。„Jimthisdoingtrulywent too far, wantsmeto helpyoutidy uphim, for exampledepresses18 million the budget of «Terminator 2: Judgement Day»?”
“吉姆这次做的确实太过分了,要不要我帮你收拾一下他,比如把《终结者2》的预算压下18000000的？”Kathrynreceivedbreakfastfrom the waiterhand, whiteEric: „Exempted, do not think that Ido not know, you were also a youngbastard.”凯瑟琳从侍者手中接过早餐,白了艾瑞克一眼:“免了吧,别以为我不知道,你也是个小混蛋。”JustdrankmilkEricalmostto choke: „Inyourfamily/homecourtyardcatches fire, pokes up the fire the seedlingto dotowardmeon?”
刚刚喝了一口牛奶的艾瑞克差点呛出来:“你自己家院子里着火,往我身上撩火苗子干什么？”„Did yousay?”
“你说呢？”„Wantedme saying that yourthisthoughtwas too extreme, thiswas not good, was very easy the paranoia of turning intoresents the world and detests mundane affairs.”
“要我说啊,你这思想太偏激了,这样不好,很容易变成愤世嫉俗的偏执狂。”Kathrynlightsnort|humsound, has not continuedto listen to the Ericghostto pull, has had the little whilebreakfast, asked: „Firefly is not reorganizing, what do youthrow downthatoutdoor shopto comeNew Yorkto make?”凯瑟琳轻哼了声,没有继续听艾瑞克鬼扯,吃了会儿早餐,才问道:“萤火虫不是正在重组吗,你丢下那一摊子来纽约做什么？”„Ismakes money,”Erichas referred to the direction of Niubusinessinstitute: „Goes to warwhileMiddle East, gains the crude oilPetroleumprice difference.”
“真的是赚钱啊,”艾瑞克朝纽商所的方向指了指:“趁着中东打仗,赚点原油期货的差价。”„Oh, is the youngprofiteer that makes the warwealth.”
“哦,原来是个发战争财的小奸商。”„ProfiteerIhave recognized, canremove the small character?”
“奸商我就认了,能不能把小字去掉？”„Cannot!”
“不能！”Sees a Ericface‚depressed’ the appearance, Kathrynhas smiled: „, How many have gained, hasyouto make a movieto earnmany?”
看到艾瑞克一脸‘郁闷’的模样,凯瑟琳笑了起来:“诶,赚了多少啊,有你拍一部电影赚得多吗？”Ericshrugs, feared that is scared the womannot to dareto speak the truth, butsaid: „Bigendwas gainedbyfederal government, no onehas expectedthiswarto hitsuchneatly, the pre-warfederal governmentandSaudi Arabiajoin up, through the crude oil reservesell dear the massivePetroleumcontracts, the oil pricehas cut in two at the waistnow, at leasthas gainedover a thousandhundred million, ourthesesmall fishsmallshrimp can only follow on the heelsto eat a soup.”艾瑞克耸耸肩,怕吓着女人没敢说实话,只是道:“大头都被联邦政府赚去了,谁也没有料到这场战争会打得这么干脆利落,战前联邦政府与沙特联合起来,通过原油储备高价出售了大量期货合约,现在油价腰斩,至少赚了上千亿,我们这些小鱼小虾只能跟在后面喝点汤。”Kathrynunderstands a Petroleumknowledge, sighed: „100 billion, thatsaid that alsosomepeoplecancompensatethese many?”凯瑟琳还是懂一点期货知识的,感叹道:“100000000000啊,那岂不是说也有人要赔这么多？”„Un, ifyoupay attentionto look atnewspaper, will discover that around the world the massiveoil tradecompanyhas cancelledtheirnegotiable securitiesdepartment, thislosscanmaketheminscribe for severalyears.”( to be continued )
“嗯,如果你注意看报纸的话,就会发现全世界范围内大量的石油贸易公司都取消了他们的证券部门,这一次亏损能让他们记上十几年了。”(未完待续)
