Chapter 414 第414章 Although has not seen the disgruntled look from Eric, Jim Carrey anxiously argued: „No, Mr. Williams, Carr is not this meaning, I hope that can cooperate with you. But in this contract as if not too many matter about movie?” 虽然没有从艾瑞克身上看到不悦的神色,金.凯瑞还是急切地辩解道:“不,威廉姆斯先生,卡尔不是这个意思,我是非常希望能够与你合作的。只不过这份合约上似乎并没有太多关于电影的事情？” „Stemming from the need of project security, after the contract came to an arrangement, we can discuss about movie the matter.” “出于项目保密的需要,合约谈妥之后,我们才能探讨关于电影的事情。” Carl Maxim inserts the tastes once more: „Mr. Williams, I want take the liberty to ask one, is the gold/metal role an actor?” 卡尔.梅克森再次插口道:“威廉姆斯先生,我想冒昧地问一句,金的角色是男主角吗？” The Eric nod said: „This is natural, otherwise my so big fee will not be flustered. Moreover, I look at the movie project in skilled person very much, affirmed that this movie can hold ranks of star the actor, therefore this contract is not harsh, but is a very fair benefit exchange. Don't forget, the Hollywood two big performers trade unions have 200,000 people to wait for that every day such opportunity, but among them over 90% people, are for a lifetime impossible to wait, my time is very tight, therefore is sorry cannot to you too the time of consideration, if you did not agree that can only say the regret, I arrange other alternative personnel immediately.” 艾瑞克点头道:“这是当然,否则我也不会如此大费周章。而且,我很看好手中的电影项目,也非常肯定这部电影能够将男主角捧到一线明星的行列,所以这份合约并不苛刻,而是一种很公平的利益交换。别忘了,好莱坞两大演艺人员工会有200000人每天都在等待这样的机会,而他们当中超过九成的人,一辈子都不可能等到,我的时间很紧张,所以抱歉不能给你们太多考虑的时间,如果你们不同意,那只能说遗憾,我会立刻安排另外的备选人员。” Jim Carrey looked at manager anxiously, Carl Maxim had planned also requested Eric gave them several days of time to consider, heard Eric saying that he can only to Jim Carrey one look that made him make a decision. However, Carl Maxim hopes from the bottom of the heart Jim Carrey can comply, just like Eric said that in Actor that Hollywood mingles, perhaps not necessarily attains such opportunity for a lifetime. 金.凯瑞紧张地看了眼经纪人,卡尔.梅克森原本还打算请求艾瑞克给他们几天时间考虑一下,听到艾瑞克这么说,他只能给了金.凯瑞一个让他自己拿主意的眼神。不过从心底来说,卡尔.梅克森还是希望金.凯瑞能够答应下来,正如艾瑞克说的,很多在好莱坞混迹的演员,或许一辈子都不一定拿到这样的机会。 Jim Carrey has decided on quickly the attention, asked: „Mr. Williams, do we want to sign now?” 金.凯瑞很快打定了注意,问道:“威廉姆斯先生,我们现在就要签约吗？” Eric shows a light smile: „Yes. Naturally, you can also inform your attorneys to come, carries on a verification to this contract once more, without the words of issue, we can sign in the morning. Within one week you will see script.” 艾瑞克露出一个淡淡的微笑:“是的。当然,你们也可以通知你们的律师过来,再次对这份合约进行一次审核,没有问题的话,我们上午就能签约。一星期之内你会看到剧本。” Jim Carrey has exchanged several looks with manager once more, afterward has nodded assent. 金.凯瑞再次与经纪人交换了几个眼神,随后点头同意了下来。 The following matter no longer needs Eric to meddle personally, waits for Alan to lead two people to leave, Elizabeth asked: „Eric, you just said that he within one week can see script, script?” 接下来的事情就不再需要艾瑞克亲自插手,等艾伦带两个人离开,伊丽莎白才问道:“艾瑞克,你刚刚说他一个星期之内就能看到剧本,剧本呢？” Eric took out a program to give Elizabeth from the filing cabinet: „This is the story program that I write. Detailed script screenwriter are still revising.” 艾瑞克从文件柜中取出了一份大纲递给伊丽莎白:“这是我写的故事大纲。详细剧本编剧们还在修改。” Elizabeth takes up light several pages of papers, looked at the eye above title: „«Dumb and Dumber», looks at the name is the comedy . Moreover the name that gives does not have the level.” 伊丽莎白拿起薄薄的几页纸,看了眼上面的标题:“《阿呆与阿瓜》,呵,看名字就是喜剧,而且起的名字真没水平。” Eric sits down on the office chair. Has not paid attention to the little girl routine small taunt, took up nearby document to be treated to look, took Jim Carrey, the achievement of Firefly following several years in comedy were absolutely unmatched, Jim Carrey was in the Hollywood history one of the unusual comedy Son of Heaven, mentioned that Hollywood 20 million salary club, many people very much enumerated a series of Hollywood superstar name, but in the Hollywood history first attained the 20 million USD salary. It is not Schwarzenegger, is not Stallone, is not Harrison Ford. But Jim Carrey. 艾瑞克在办公椅上坐下。没理会小丨妞习惯性的小嘲讽,拿起旁边一份待处理的文件看了起来,拿下金.凯瑞,萤火虫接下来几年在喜剧方面的成就绝对无人可比,金.凯瑞是好莱坞历史上少有的喜剧天王之一,提到好莱坞2000万片酬俱乐部,很多人都很列数一连串好莱坞巨星的名字,但好莱坞历史上第一个拿到2000万美元片酬的。不是施瓦辛格,不是史泰龙,也不是哈里森.福特。而正是金.凯瑞。 Eric has watched many Jim Carrey movies, memory most profound naturally is that «The Mask», «The Mask» is also one of the Jim Carrey peak works. 艾瑞克看过很多金.凯瑞的电影,记忆最深刻的当然是那部《变相怪杰》,《变相怪杰》也是金.凯瑞的巅峰作品之一。 Reason that choice present «Dumb and Dumber», mainly because of the copyright issue, «The Mask» was the dark horse cartoon company 1980 cartoon work, although Eric investigates movie copyright of present this cartoon also in dark horse cartoon there. But now gets rid to purchase copyright of this cartoon, must pay very big price surely. Beside competitor who except that can want to see, the dark horse cartoon definitely will also sit the starting price. 之所以选择眼前的《阿呆与阿瓜》,主要还是因为版权问题,《变相怪杰》是黑马漫画公司1980年的漫画作品,虽然艾瑞克调查到现在这部漫画的电影版权还在黑马漫画那里。但现在出手收购这部漫画的版权,必定要付出很大的代价。除了可以想见的竞争者之外,黑马漫画也肯定会坐地起价。 However Eric has thought an opportunity of getting rid. After «Cutthroat Island» that Disney and Robert Shay are jointly manufacturing screens, Robert Shay robs the «Cutthroat Island» script matter from his hand, Hollywood is well-known, once this movie is similar to original such Box Office disastrous defeat, that wants to compete script with Eric again, these people must consider whether was an issue of trap. 不过艾瑞克已经想好了一个出手的时机。正是迪斯尼和罗伯特.谢伊正在联合制作的《割喉岛》上映之后,罗伯特.谢伊从他手中抢走《割喉岛》剧本的事情,好莱坞尽人皆知,一旦这部电影如同原版那样票房惨败,那再想要跟艾瑞克竞争剧本的话,那些人就要好好考虑一下是否又是一个陷阱的问题了。 As for «Dumb and Dumber» original author Brother Ferrari, in Hollywood did not have any shadow, after Eric now this story registers, gives the Firefly screenwriter department to improve. 至于《阿呆与阿瓜》的原作者法拉利兄弟,现在在好莱坞还没有任何影子,艾瑞克让人将这个故事注册之后,就交给了萤火虫编剧部门去完善。 Except for «Dumb and Dumber», Eric also looked up Jim Carrey another work «Ace Ventura» screenwriter and Director Tom Shadyac . Moreover the opposite party has also registered similar «Ace Ventura» script in the screenwriter association. 除了《阿呆与阿瓜》,艾瑞克也查到了金.凯瑞另外一部作品《神探飞机头》的编剧和导演汤姆.沙迪亚克,而且对方也在编剧协会注册了一个类似《神探飞机头》的剧本。 In the original space and time Tom Shadyac and Jim Carrey have cooperated many movies, but Tom Shadyac now or common screenwriter of Warner Film Industry, Eric began to plan that digs the opposite party, places «Dumb and Dumber» dramatic team informed and experienced, then can compose a fixed partner with Jim Carrey. 原时空中汤姆.沙迪亚克与金.凯瑞合作过多部电影,不过汤姆.沙迪亚克现在还是华纳影业旗下的一个不太起眼的编剧,艾瑞克已经着手打算将对方挖过来,放在《阿呆与阿瓜》剧组历练一下,然后可以与金.凯瑞组成一个固定的搭档。 In «Dumb and Dumber» the program the hand looked, although had not thought that has anything specially, is in the trust Eric, Elizabeth had not expressed that too questioned, but asked: „Eric, this story do you have the appropriate Director candidate?” 将手中《阿呆与阿瓜》的大纲看了一遍,虽然没觉得有什么特别,处于对艾瑞克的信任,伊丽莎白并没有表示太多质疑,只是问道:“艾瑞克,这个故事你有合适的导演人选吗？” „Un, has looked at «Abbey Younger brother Adventures»? I planned that makes this movie Director Stephen Herek direct this movie, Oh was right, these are your matter, the detailed material I will make the person give you as soon as possible, so long as you before the end of the year, put out Large expanse on the line.” “嗯,看过《阿比阿弟历险记》吗？我打算让这部影片的导演斯蒂芬.赫瑞克执导这部电影,哦对了,这些都是你的事情,详细的材料我会尽快让人交给你,你只要年底之前拿出成片就行了。” Elizabeth said: „That «Thelma & Louise» what to do, I convinced Ridley Scott to direct this movie with great difficulty, now you make me arrange «Dumb and Dumber», definitely was unbearably busy.” 伊丽莎白道:“那《末路狂花》怎么办,我好不容易才说服雷德利.斯科特执导这部电影呢,现在你又让我筹备《阿呆与阿瓜》,肯定忙不过来了。” „Does not have Drew to help you, said again, makes Boss, if personally takes care of things, that also not by tired to death, your not employed job producer?” “不是还有德鲁帮你吗,再说了,做老板的要是事必躬亲,那还不被累死,你难道不会雇佣职业制片人吗？” „I can certainly want to obtain, is only...... consider as finished, I do not explain to you.” “我当然能想得到,只是……算了,我才不要跟你解释。” Eric looks at the girl strive to excel appearance, can want to obtain, Elizabeth is wants many exercises itself: „Does not want to explain that do not depend here, some of my also a lot of work must be done, tomorrow must go to Oklahoma to endure the scenery, one week later can come back. Today big pile of matters wait for me to process.” 艾瑞克看着女郎好强的模样,也能够想得到,伊丽莎白是想要更多的锻炼自己:“不想解释就别赖在这里了,我还有很多工作要做,明天还得去俄克拉荷马州堪景,一星期之后才能回来。今天一大堆事情等着我处理呢。” Elizabeth holds the Eric words to refute: „Your this Boss do not personally take care of things, careful early aging Oh.” 伊丽莎白抓住艾瑞克的话反驳道:“你这个老板不还是要事必躬亲,小心早衰哦。” „The early aging can also tidy up you again with ease, the words exiting goalkeeper who being all right takes, does not deliver.” “再早衰也能轻松收拾你,没事的话出去把门带上,不送。” Elizabeth groans two, stands up just about to leaves. Immediately sat, lies has searched the head in another side of desk, some small anticipations asked: „Hello, that the end of the month Oscar presentation ceremony, whom you plan to lead...... Whom leads to walk red carpet?” 伊丽莎白哼哼两声,站起身刚要离开。立刻又坐了下来,趴在书桌的另一侧探过脑袋,有些小期待地问道:“喂,那个,月底的奥斯卡颁奖典礼,你打算带谁……带谁走红毯啊？” Eric gains ground asks very much directly: „Do you want with me together?” 艾瑞克抬头很直接地问道:“你想跟我一起？” Elizabeth cheek red under. Does not dare to face up to the Eric vision, was lowering the head mosquito same um. 伊丽莎白脸蛋红了下。不敢正视艾瑞克的目光,低着脑袋蚊子一样嗯了一声。 Eric shook the head: „Sorry that I planned a person walks red carpet.” 艾瑞克摇了摇头:“真是抱歉,我打算一个人走红毯。” „Why?” “为什么？” „Because the woman are too many, I lead anyone not to be good, therefore simply does not bring.” “因为女人太多,我带谁都不好,所以干脆不带。” Elizabeth is staring Eric: „You may really be...... Straightforward.” 伊丽莎白瞪着艾瑞克:“你可真是……直白啊。” „Good. The little darlings, do not make small temperament, if you thought that a person walks red carpet not to be comfortable, took Julia to be good, I was magnanimous, did not investigate that you did the matter of lily.” “好了。乖乖的,别闹小脾气,如果你觉得一个人走红毯不自在,就带上茱莉亚好了,我就大度一点,不追究你们搞百合的事情了。” „, Do not think that I could not find other escorts to walk red carpet together.” “啊呸,别以为我找不到其他男伴一起走红毯。” Eric narrows the eye slightly: „You can give a try.” 艾瑞克微微眯起眼睛:“你可以试试看。” Elizabeth somewhat afraid snort|hum sound, no longer has paid attention to Eric. Set out to leave his office. 伊丽莎白有些心虚地哼了声,不再理会艾瑞克。起身离开了他的办公室。 Jim Carrey had signed that contract with Firefly in the morning, but Eric has not actually found the time to see the opposite party again, next day. He is bringing the digital domain special effect team as well as «Twister» several main dramatic team members takes plane to rush to Oklahoma. 金.凯瑞当天上午就与萤火虫签署了那份合约,不过艾瑞克却没有抽出时间再去见对方,第二天。他就带着数字领域的特效团队以及《龙卷风》的几位主要剧组成员坐飞机赶往俄克拉荷马州。 South central of Oklahoma situated in United States, is in the United States Headquarters Twister corridor the south beginning, from April of every year, Oklahoma starts the looting of Twister undergoes the frequency to send. 俄克拉荷马州位于美国的中南部,正处于美国总部龙卷风走廊的南部开端,从每年四月份,俄克拉荷马州就开始经受频发的龙卷风的洗劫。 Entire one week of time, dramatic team many areas north Oklahoma rushes about, this has made in the situations of much work in enduring Jing Duiwu of earlier period. Otherwise, one week of time is impossible to complete these work. 整整一周的时间,剧组都在俄克拉荷马州北部的诸多地区奔波,这还是在前期的堪景队伍做了大量工作的情况下。否则的话,一周的时间根本不可能完成这些工作。 Except that must choose the scenery. Eric still took massively the ground truth about Twister in a Oklahoma City Meteorology Research Institute accent. 除了要选景。艾瑞克还在俄克拉荷马城一家气象研究所调取了大量关于龙卷风的真实数据。 One week later, Eric led most people to return to Los Angeles. However has also left behind five people of work teams, is responsible for communicating the Eric designation the shoots place, simultaneously negotiated the tax reimbursement issue about «Twister» shoots when with the Oklahoma government, although the tax reimbursement quotas of various United States states did not have several years later now was so high, but to the «Twister» movie-making cost, even if the tax reimbursement proportion again lowly were also a very objective digit. 一周之后,艾瑞克带着大部分人返回了洛杉矶。不过也留下了一个五人的工作小组,负责沟通艾瑞克选定的拍摄地点,同时与俄克拉荷马州政府交涉关于《龙卷风》拍摄时的退税问题,虽然现在美国各州的退税额度还没有十几年后那么高,但相对于《龙卷风》的制片成本,哪怕退税比例再低也是一笔很客观数字。 Returned to Los Angeles is on March 9, as the Hollywood supreme headquarters, the 63 rd Oscar atmosphere that will soon conduct is getting more and more rich. 回到洛杉矶已经是3月9日,作为好莱坞的大本营,即将举办的第63届奥斯卡氛围越来越浓郁。 The nomination of this Oscar already announced that more than ten years later another was nominated beside horror film 《The Silence of the Lambs》 of best picture, Francis Coppola Director «The Godfather 3», Martin Scorsese «Goodfellas» as well as Penny. Marshall «Awakenings» is this promulgation season's popular movie. 这一届奥斯卡的提名早就已经公布,除了十多年后又一部被提名了最佳影片的恐怖片《沉默的羔羊》之外,弗朗西斯.科波拉导演的《教父3》,马丁.斯科塞斯的《好家伙》以及潘妮.马歇尔的《无语问苍天》都是这一届颁奖季的热门电影。 In addition, the original space and time should have best picture nomination «Ghost» these time has not actually attained this nomination, without a doubt, this is not the quality of movie does not go through a strategic pass, most primary factor or Eric age issue. Although this movie is outstanding enough, but cinema institute that crowd of old-fashioned old man possibly subconsciously thought that Eric is so young, this movie has obtained enough success on Box Office, that did not have to will strive for such important Oscar to nominate anxiously. 除此之外,原时空应该有一个最佳影片提名的《人鬼情未了》这一次却没有拿到这项提名,毫无疑问,这并不是电影的质量不过关,最主要的因素还是艾瑞克的年龄问题。虽然这部电影足够优秀,但电影学院那群古板的老头子可能下意识觉得,艾瑞克这么年轻,这部电影又在票房上取得了足够的成功,那就没有那么急切地必要去争取这么重要的奥斯卡提名了。 Eric does not have the thoughts to care about this matter, even if has attained the best picture nomination, if cannot win an award, will not be big to the help of «Ghost», this movie already under files, and is doomed to read in the annals of Hollywood love movie. 艾瑞克也没有心思在意这种事情,就算拿到了最佳影片提名,如果不能获奖的话,对《人鬼情未了》的帮助也不会太大,这部电影早就下档了,并且也注定被写入好莱坞爱情电影的史册中。 Except for «Ghost», Firefly does not have the work that anything took gets rid on Oscar, Kathryn that «Point Break», although obtained the good appraisal, because the political view is partial in the reason of anarchism, is certainly doomed to have achieved nothing on Oscar, even a nomination does not have. 除了《人鬼情未了》,萤火虫在奥斯卡上就没有了什么拿得出手的作品,凯瑟琳的那部《惊暴点》虽然获得了不错的评价,但因为政治观点偏向于无政府主义的缘故,在奥斯卡上当然也注定一无所获,甚至一个提名都没有。 Another two with Firefly related «Sleeping with the Enemy» and «Basic Instinct», won certainly Box Office, does not have too many achievement in the award item. Although this Oscar basically does not have the Firefly anything matter, but after returning to Los Angeles, Eric actually also has to find time to participate in several public relations party, personally acts is 《The Silence of the Lambs》 lobbies. 另外两部跟萤火虫有关的《与敌共眠》和《本能》,当然也只是赢得了票房,在奖项上没有太多作为。虽然这一届奥斯卡基本上没有萤火虫什么事情,不过回到洛杉矶之后,艾瑞克却也不得不抽空参加了几场公关派对,亲自出面为《沉默的羔羊》游说。 But the Oscar beforehand tople days, was 《The Silence of the Lambs》 made the public relations at the same time, Elizabeth and Drew also started the arrangement of «Dumb and Dumber», simultaneously has given Ridley Scott «Thelma & Louise» this movie thoroughly. Ridley Scott becomes famous in Hollywood as before, did not say that in the memory these works, Ridley Scott shoots left 《Alien》 and «Blade Runner» now and other works, the qualifications enough holds the post of Director and Producer of «Thelma & Louise» this movie. 而奥斯卡之前的这些日子,为《沉默的羔羊》做公关的同时,伊丽莎白和德鲁也开始了《阿呆与阿瓜》的筹备,同时将《末路狂花》这部电影彻底交给了雷德利.斯科特。雷德利.斯科特在好莱坞成名依旧,不说记忆中那些作品,现在雷德利.斯科特就已经拍摄出了《异形》和《银翼杀手》等作品,资历足够担任《末路狂花》这部电影的导演和制作人。 While arranging «Twister», Eric also starts to pay attention to the other works of Firefly movie-making department, in the plan, Firefly plans to distribute five movies this year, but determined has «Toy Story» and «Terminator 2: Judgement Day» and «Dumb and Dumber», in addition, but also needs to arrange another two movies. 在筹备《龙卷风》的同时,艾瑞克也开始关注萤火虫制片部门的其他作品,计划中,萤火虫今年打算发行五部影片,不过已经确定的却只有《玩具总动员》、《终结者2》和《阿呆与阿瓜》,除此之外,还需要筹备另外两部电影。 Hollywood most does not lack is waited for that manufacture movie, but in database that Firefly and new line accumulate, there are can manufacture the sequel much the work, naturally, the «Home Alone» series definitely are unable to neglect, Eric regarding manufacturing the enthusiasm of this series is not very high, reasons for this include, mainly because in the memory, previous life third «Home Alone» Box Office has second part 1/10, but the production cost is not worse than second part many. Although does not need to be similar to previous life such now, changes the young lead, the risk that but is hard to estimate is as before not allow to neglect. Eric even has to plan that plan that sequel copyright of this series sells. 好莱坞最不缺的就是等待制作的电影,而萤火虫和新线积累的片库中,也有不少可以制作续集的作品,当然,《小鬼当家》系列肯定无法忽视,艾瑞克对于制作这个系列的热情已经不是很高,究其原因,主要还是因为记忆中,前世的第三部《小鬼当家》票房只有第二部的1,但是制作成本却并不比第二部差多少。虽然现在并不需要如同前世那样,换到小主角,但这其中难以预估的风险依旧不容忽视。艾瑞克甚至有打算将这个系列的续集版权卖出去的打算。 Except for «Home Alone», Columbia also again proposed manufactures the 《Running Out of Time》 sequel the thought that this time, even the Tom Cruise aspect had this thought. 《Running Out of Time》 has attained global five hundred million USD Box Office super sells the work after all greatly, but after Cruise independence gateway, first of manufacture manufactures 《Days of Thunder》 greatly, although cannot say Box Office to be pale, but to eight USD large amount costs, 《Days of Thunder》 can say that surely as before is a work of failure. In this case, does not have Film Studio to dare again rashly with the Tom Cruise cooperation big manufacture movie. Just the independence gateway, in the Cruise innermost feelings is not willing to return to the literary film path of small cost to come up again, therefore then related Columbia, had such thought. ( to be continued ) 除了《小鬼当家》,哥伦比亚也再一次提出了制作《暗战》续集的念头,这一次,甚至汤姆.克鲁斯方面都动了这个念头。《暗战》毕竟是一部拿到了全球五亿美元票房的超级大卖作品,而克鲁斯自立门户之后,制作的首部大制作《雷霆壮志》虽然不能说票房惨白,但相对于八千万美元的巨额成本,《雷霆壮志》可以说依旧是一个失败的作品。这种情况下,也就没有电影公司再敢贸然与汤姆.克鲁斯合作大制作电影。刚刚自立门户,克鲁斯内心里也不愿意再回到中小成本的文艺片道路上来,于是便联系哥伦比亚,动了这样的念头。(未完待续)
