Katzenberg for the title of workaholic, in Columbia determined worthily a cooperation intention less than two weeks of time, then came to an arrangement about the concrete cooperation agreement with the opposite party, two weeks of time seems like not short, but is regarding one three years related to the cooperation of several billions USD, two weeks of time reached the concrete cooperation agreement, can only describe with the rapidness. 卡森伯格不愧为工作狂的称号,在与哥伦比亚确定合作意向不到两周时间,便与对方谈妥了具体的合作协议,两周时间看起来并不短,但对于一项将长达三年涉及数亿美元的合作来说,两周时间就达成了具体的合作协议,只能用飞速来形容。 But determination cooperation at the same time, Columbia CEO Peter Guber impatiently to disclose to the Columbia significance significant advantage good news this to the media. 而确定合作的同时,哥伦比亚ceo彼得古柏就迫不及待地将这份对哥伦比亚意义重大的利好消息透露给了媒体。 ...... …… „...... I hope that this movie can carry in the spot shoots, and selects the black and white documentary film method . Moreover, invests cannot be lower than 30 million USD,” in the Universal office, Spielberg was discussing the matter about «Schindler's Ark» this book reorganization movie with Michael Eisner. “……我希望这部电影能够进行实地拍摄,并且采用黑白纪录片方式,另外,投资不能低于3000万美元,”环球办公室里,斯皮尔伯格正与迈克尔艾斯纳商讨关于《辛德勒的方舟》这本书改编电影的事情。 After some time contact, Michael Eisner reached the understanding with Spielberg finally, at least Spielberg no longer to him indifferent relative, although Michael Eisner is in the Hollywood authority peak, but regarding started to big Film Studio to bring the large amount benefit from the 70's 《Jaws》 Spielberg, he does not need to flatter anybody in Hollywood, instead was on needs to cooperate to flatter him to Film Studio CEO under to Hollywood Actor, even if a while ago «Hook» result were not ideal, has not caused many harm to Spielberg in the Hollywood status. 经过一段时间的接触,迈克尔艾斯纳总算与斯皮尔伯格达成了谅解,至少斯皮尔伯格不再对他冷眼相对,虽然迈克尔艾斯纳处于好莱坞权力顶端,但对于从七十年代的《大白鲨》开始就一直能够给大电影公司带来巨额利益的斯皮尔伯格来说,他在好莱坞并不需要讨好任何人,反而是上到电影公司ceo下到好莱坞演员都需要为了合作而巴结他,即使前段时间的《霍克船长》成绩并不理想,也没有对斯皮尔伯格好莱坞地地位造成多少损害。 Michael Ise accepts on the face to hang the smile calmly to listen to the Spielberg's condition, is pondering at heart fast, by the Spielberg's idea, he must manufactures with the way of black and white documentary film «Schindler's Ark». Moreover hopes that can use German and Polish. These two add. Almost was equal to cutting off the profit of this movie to be possible. 迈克尔艾斯︽纳脸上挂着微笑静静听完斯皮尔伯格的条件,心里快速思考着,以斯皮尔伯格的想法,他要把《辛德勒的方舟》用黑白纪录片的方式制作出来。而且还希望能够采用德语和波兰语。这两项加起来。几乎就等于断绝了这部电影的盈利可能。 Moreover, although the investment of 30 million USD are not many, but has achieved 45% Universal regarding the ratio of debt to net worth, 30 million USD is not a small number. Although Michael Eisner is also a Jew, but he that strong historical responsibility, he only has not hoped that at present can complete own enterprise, leading Universal to rise, the glory and status that will lose take carry back. 而且,3000万美元的投资虽然并不多,但对于负债率已经达到45%的环球来说,3000万美元也不是一个小数目。虽然迈克尔艾斯纳也是犹太人,不过他并没有那么浓重的历史责任感,眼前他只希望能够做好自己的事业,带领环球崛起,将自己失去的荣耀和地位都拿回来。 Therefore. For with the Spielberg later cooperation, Michael Eisner knows one must comply, does not have the second choice. 因此。为了与斯皮尔伯格之后的合作,迈克尔艾斯纳知道自己必须要答应下来,没有第二种选择。 Steven, these I can promise you . Moreover, Universal as far as possible will also relate Poland for you, seeks the local support,” Michael Eisner after Spielberg said that but routine has thought deeply about the moment, then agreed. Simultaneously lifted the hand to look at watch: Now nearly have five points, together had the supper to be what kind of?” 史蒂文,这些我都可以答应你,另外,环球也会尽量为你联系波兰方面,寻求当地的支持,”迈克尔艾斯纳斯皮尔伯格说完之后,只是例行地思索了片刻,便同意了下来。同时抬手看了看手表:“现在已经快五点了,一起吃晚餐怎么样?” Spielberg is just about to reject. Hears the door of Michael Eisner office to be sounded rapidly. 斯皮尔伯格正要拒绝。就听到迈克尔艾斯纳办公室的房门被人急促地敲响。 Michael Eisner pressed frowning, is somewhat disgruntled, said to Spielberg the sound was sorry, the sinking sound makes the opposite party come. 迈克尔艾斯纳蹙了蹙眉,有些不悦,向斯皮尔伯格道了声抱歉,才沉声让对方进来。 Mr. Eisner, I think that you need a look at this,” that assistant, although noted the Michael Eisner disgruntled look, actually knows, if the earliest possible time did not inform the opposite party, likely was the issue that the work can preserve. 艾斯纳先生,我想你需要看看这个,”那位助理虽然注意到了迈克尔艾斯纳的不悦神色,却知道如果自己不第一时间通知对方,很可能就是工作能不能保住的问题了。 Michael Eisner received an evening news that the assistant hands over, glanced the eye above title rapidly, immediately stares the big eye surprisedly: How is this possible?” 迈克尔艾斯纳接过助理递过来的一份晚报,飞速瞟了眼上面的标题,立刻惊讶地瞪大眼睛:“这怎么可能?” Spielberg notes always on the calm Michael Eisner face the shocking look , the probe head looked. 斯皮尔伯格注意到一向沉稳的迈克尔艾斯纳脸上震惊的神色,也探头看了过去。 Firefly holds hands Sony Film Industry, the next three years will develop five movies together.” 萤火虫牵手索尼影业,未来三年共同开发五部电影。” The typeface of overstriking heaves in sight, Spielberg wanted to continue to look at the news content, Michael Eisner the rapid reader read the news. 加粗的字体映入眼帘,斯皮尔伯格想要继续看一下新闻内容,迈克尔艾斯纳已经一目十行地将新闻阅读了一遍。 Sorry, perhaps Steven, cannot have the supper with you,” Michael Eisner reads the news, stands up to say. “抱歉,史蒂文,或许不能和你一起吃晚餐了,”迈克尔艾斯纳看完新闻,站起身说道。 Spielberg was also tactful to stand, under escorting of Michael Eisner, left the Universal Headquarters building. 斯皮尔伯格也识趣地站了起来,在迈克尔艾斯纳的护送下,离开了环球总部大楼。 Delivered the car(riage) Spielberg personally, Michael Eisner shakes also to grasp newspaper in hand to the assistant immediately: Besides this, other news?” 亲自将斯皮尔伯格送上车,迈克尔艾斯纳立刻对助理晃了晃还握在手中的报纸:“除了这个,还有其他消息没有?” The assistants shook the head: Did not have, but this news is absolutely accurate, it is said is Columbia CEO Peter Guber to the reporter disclosed personally, he will not lie at this matter absolutely.” 助理摇了摇头:“没有了,不过这份消息绝对准确,据说是哥伦比亚ceo彼得古柏亲自向记者透露的,他绝对不会在这种事情上说谎。” Michael Eisner takes the mobile phone from assistant there, does not need to read the address book, skilled has dialed the Peter Guber personal mobile number, what a pity, telephone direct prompt busy, dialed continuously for more than ten minutes is so, Michael Eisner found the Jon Peters telephone, after the dial, so, it seems like that the opposite two people now are also busy with dealing with all kinds of inquiring as before. 迈克尔艾斯纳从助理那里拿过移动电话,不用翻看通讯录,就熟练地拨通了彼得古柏的私人手机号,可惜,电话直接提示占线,连续拨了十多分钟都是如此,迈克尔艾斯纳又找到强彼得斯的电话,拨打之后依旧如此,看来对面两个人现在也在忙于应付各种各样的问询。 Told that making the person collect all news about this matter as soon as possible, in detail was better,” Michael Eisner hung the power failure words again, said to the assistant. “吩咐下去,让人尽快收集关于这件事的所有消息,越详细越好,”迈克尔艾斯纳再一次挂掉电话,对助理说道。 I have made the person manage,” in that assistant expression brings some to take undeserved credit said. “我已经让人去办了,”那位助理语气里带着些许邀功地说道。 However Michael Eisner of surging emotions fluctuating does not have many responses, turns around to walk toward the office directly hurriedly, he must as soon as possible with Universal management discussion this matter. 不过心潮起伏的迈克尔艾斯纳却没有多少反应,直接转身急匆匆地朝办公室走去,他必须尽快与环球的高管商讨这件事。 It looks like in many people, just purchased Disney, in the Firefly normal condition should not carry out the cooperation in movie-making with other Film Studio, after all, develops and conforms with Disney, is the key of Firefly next stage. 在很多人看来,刚刚收购迪斯尼,萤火虫正常情况下应该不会与其他电影公司进行制片方面的合作,毕竟,发展和整合迪斯尼,才是萤火虫下一阶段的工作重点。 Moreover, Michael Eisner is also very clear, even if Firefly wants to cooperate with other Film Studio, Sony Columbia from various perspectives, should be the final that choice, after all, the Columbia two helmsmen already fishy that does the company, in this case, with the opposite party cooperation is a quite stupid matter, therefore, this matter will not be in the surface so will be obviously simple. 而且,迈克尔艾斯纳也很清楚,就算萤火虫想要与其他电影公司合作,索尼-哥伦比亚从各方面来说,都应该是最后的那个选择,毕竟,哥伦比亚的两个掌舵人已经将公司搞的乌烟瘴气,这种情况下,与对方合作是一件相当愚蠢的事情,因此,这件事显然不会是表面上那么简单。 However, just on that evening news, actually only then some basically do not have the public relations language of any value, will cooperate with Firefly in the next three years besides Sony Film Industry five movies, simply does not have any useful news. 不过,刚刚那份晚报上面,却只有一些基本上没有任何价值的公关语言,除了索尼影业将与萤火虫在未来三年合作五部电影外,根本没有任何有用的消息。 ...... …… In Cliff Peak Manor, fax machine Zizi on side round table is making a sound lightly, Eric curls upwards the leg to sit on the glass curtain wall outer space chair, is rocking gently the body, often takes the brand-new fax document to place on the thigh to read from side. 尖角庄园里,身旁圆桌上的传真机兹兹地轻响着,艾瑞克翘着腿坐在玻璃幕墙边的太空椅上,轻轻晃动着身体,不时从旁边取过来崭新的传真文件放在大腿上阅读着。 This is the preliminary cooperation agreement that Katzenberg that side fax comes. However. This agreement basically is also equal to the final agreement. After all, Sony Film Industry Board of Directors under the control of Peter Guber and Jon Peters, the contract will completely not have any hindrance through the authorization of Board of Directors, as for Japanese there, went through the motions, told the opposite party to have such a matter to occur. 这是卡森伯格那边传真过来的初步合作协议。不过。这份协议基本上也就等于最终协议。毕竟,索尼影业董事会就在彼得古柏强彼得斯的掌控之下,合约通过董事会的批准完全不会有任何阻碍,至于日本人那里,也就是走个过场,告诉对方有这么一件事发生。 Looked from the document that Katzenberg worthily by some Hollywood people jokingly call for contorting one's face in agony golden retriever, if Japanese can understand a series of curved circles. Definitely understands one had been sheared a meat maliciously. 从文件上看,卡森伯格不愧被好莱坞一些人戏称为呲牙咧嘴的‘金毛猎犬’,如果日本人能够明白这其中的一系列弯弯绕。肯定会明白自己被狠狠地割了一块肉。 In the contract, both sides agree for three years, the cooperation develops five big manufacture movies, each investment scale in 50 million USD to 100 million USD. 合约中,双方约定三年之内,共同合作开发五部大制作电影,每一部的投资规模在5000万美元1亿美元之间。 However, first does not favor the Columbia provision, is the filmmaking leads by Disney, Columbia must take advantage of the resources that oneself has fully coordinates. 不过,第一个不利于哥伦比亚的条款,便是电影制作由迪斯尼主导,哥伦比亚还必须利用自身拥有的资源进行全力配合。 Although because of perfect supervision system, is impossible to have the black budget and so on situation, but bystander, if thinks really that was completely mistaken. For example these five big pieces special effect, definitely by subordinating in the digital domain development of Firefly. Then offer may operate leeway to be big, finally, Firefly is only the left hand but actually right hand, but fund that Columbia pays actually in returning to own pocket . Moreover, the cost of movie special effect grabs the share of total cost, although could not have been previous life 80% that terrifying proportions, but is over half surely not to have the issue. 虽然因为完善的财务监督制度,不可能存在黑预算之类的情形,但外人要是真的这么想,那就大错特错了。比如这五部大片的特效,肯定会由隶属于萤火虫的数字领域开发。那么报价方面的可操作余地就非常大,最终,萤火虫这边只是左手倒右手,而哥伦比亚付出的资金却不会在回到自己的口袋里,而且,电影特效的成本占据总成本的份额虽然还达不到前世八成那么恐怖的比例,但超过一半肯定还是没有问题的。 Moreover, Columbia enjoys five movie 40% entering capital authorities merely, although Box Office channel, recording tape and television relay and other income will be divided according to Billy, but the periphery of movie, for example toy development, living theater and image authorization wait/etc. benefits, are monopolized by Disney completely, what although both sides cooperate is Live-Action Film, the peripheral benefit does not have the animated film to be so huge, but some benefits also definitely by hundred million computations. 另外,哥伦比亚仅仅享有五部电影四成的入资权力,虽然票房渠道、录像带和电视转播等收入会按照比利分成,但电影的周边,比如玩具开发、舞台剧、形象授权等等利益,完全由迪斯尼独占,虽然双方合作的是真人电影,周边利益没有动画电影那么庞大,但这部分利益也肯定是以亿计算的。 Moreover, most important, in the movie copyright aspect, Katzenberg used the cartoon company to be authorized the movie copyright way unexpectedly, although in the contract, both sides shared copyright according to the investment ratio, but if the movie opened for five years, both sides sequel has not reached the agreement again, then belongs to Columbia that some movie copyright to return to Disney automatically. This basically was equal to that announced Disney has copyright of cooperation movie, but Columbia does not share the copyright exterior investor status high a little place compared with these, was they had five years of copyright compared with the exterior investor merely, can meet, according to investing Billy, copyright that Disney here enjoyed importantly are more than 20% Columbia, if a movie sold greatly, only if Columbia is willing to resign the majority of benefits in sequel, otherwise, so long as Disney has towed for five years not to nod, movie copyright will return to oneself hand, at that time, basic on did not need to pay attention to Columbia again, can alone enjoy this fat.. 而且,最重要的一条,在电影版权方面,卡森伯格竟然采用了漫画公司授权电影版权的方式,虽然合约上,双方按照投资比例分享版权,但如果电影上映五年之内,双方没有再续集方面达成协议,那么属于哥伦比亚的那部分电影版权会自动回到迪斯尼这边。这一条基本上就等于宣告迪斯尼拥有合作电影的版权,而哥伦比亚比那些不分享版权的外部投资人地位高那么一点的地方,也仅仅是他们比外部投资人多拥有了五年的版权,可以相见,按照投资比利,迪斯尼这边享有的版权比重要比哥伦比亚多出两成,如果一部电影大卖,除非哥伦比亚在续集方面肯让出大部分利益,否则的话,只要迪斯尼一直拖过五年时间不点头,电影版权就会回到自己手中,那个时候,根本就不用再理会哥伦比亚,可以独自享受这块肥肉。。 Was reading in the hand ‚not equal contract, Eric has not produced too many surprised, after all, stayed for several years in Hollywood, he understands that invested the cooperation flexibility of movie to be big, so long as both sides your sentiment I hope that in the situation in not obviously violating the federal law, any all sorts of strange and unusual contract can sign. 阅读着手中的‘不平等合约’,艾瑞克并没有产生太多惊讶,毕竟,在好莱坞呆了几年时间,他已经明白,投资电影方面的合作灵活性非常大,只要双方你情我愿,在不明显地违反联邦法律的情况下,任何千奇百怪的合约都能够签署。 Columbia aspect, even if Japanese, will not likely reject this agreement, compares in first two years, not only has not gained instead causes the huge loss several movies, with has been creating the Firefly cooperation of Box Office miracle, without doubt has these points to guarantee in income. 哥伦比亚方面,哪怕是日本人,很可能也不会拒绝这份协议,相比于前两年不但没有盈利反而造成巨额亏损的几部电影,与一直在创造票房奇迹的萤火虫合作,无疑在收益方面有这几分保证。 Moreover, purchased the Columbia these years time, Japanese most wants to obtain was not the benefit, instead hopes how many successful works can through open up the perspective, this ‚not equal agreement looked like in Japanese, likely very normal, after all, others played hurriedly, if never paid, why others can lead you to play? 而且,收购哥伦比亚的这几年时间,日本人最想得到的也不是利益,反而更希望能够通过几部成功的作品打开局面,这份‘不平等协议’在日本人看来,很可能非常‘正常’,毕竟,别人自己玩的风风火火,如果从不多付出一些,别人凭什么要带你玩? What they do not know, in this quite normal behind the contract, another unknown agreement, this agreement will enhance the Firefly strength enormously, but Columbia perfect global distribution network, after this agreement was carried out, definitely will become scattered about. 只是,他们不知道的是,在这份比较‘正常’的合约背后,还有另外一份不为人知的协定,这份协议将会极大提高萤火虫的实力,而哥伦比亚完善的全球发行网络,在这份协议被执行之后,肯定会变得七零八落。 Thinks of these, side Eric takes up to avoid harassing already closed down Motorola, thinks, set out to take another spare cell phone, starting later has dialed the Katzenberg telephone, his luck also calculated to be better, after several times busy, smoothly put through. 想到这些,艾瑞克拿起旁边为了避免骚扰已经被关机了的摩托罗拉,想了想,还是起身去取了另外一台备用手机,开机之后拨通了卡森伯格的电话,他的运气还算好一些,几次占线后,就顺利接通。 Jeffrey, the contract I had looked...... Sorry that I just had switched off cell phone, you know that a lot have not settled down, I do not want to hear these probes, this is my spare mobile number, you can record,” Eric spoke thoughtlessly to send out own cell phone number, said: What opinion employment term I do not have, but did you attain the Columbia overseas distribution network the material?...... Oh, this, making the person give me fax to come, I plan to look at...... Good...... You went in the evening well, I did not pass to join in the fun, haha, then, bye.” 杰弗瑞,合约我已经看过了……真是抱歉,我刚刚把手机关掉了,你知道,很多事情都还没有尘埃落定,我不想听到那些试探,这是我的备用手机号,你可以记一下,”艾瑞克随口报出了自己的手机号码,才说道:“合约条款我没什么意见,不过你拿到哥伦比亚海外发行网络的资料了吗?……,这样,让人给我传真过来一份,我打算看一下……好的……不了,晚上你一个人去就好,我就不过去凑热闹了,哈哈,那么,再见。” One side hung the telephone, Eric has placed Motorola microt ABC conveniently, has taken up that contract, calmly looked. 挂了电话,艾瑞克随手将摩托罗拉microtab放在一边,又拿起了身边的那份合约,静静地看了起来。 After several minutes, fax machine Zizi has made a sound. 几分钟之后,传真机又兹兹地响了起来。 ...... …… You must eavesdrop on the news, why must pull me to come together, Emma also at home,” red BMW arrives at the Cliff Peak Manor entrance, Julia looks that fierce complained according to Elizabeth of loudspeaker. “你要探听消息,干嘛非要扯我一起过来啊,艾玛还在家里呢,”红色的宝马来到尖角庄园门口,茱莉亚看着猛按喇叭的伊丽莎白抱怨道。 The security has recognized the two people in car(riage), turned on the front door quickly, Elizabeth stepped on the accelerator to open the vehicle, said: I come, he must certainly say me.” 保安认出了车内的两个人,很快打开了大门,伊丽莎白踩着油门将车子开了进去,说道:“我一个人来,他肯定又要说我了。” „Doesn't two person he say together?” After entering the manor, Julia picks to turn one's face on sunglasses, sizes up the surrounding scenery to ask, said that she had forgotten own how long has not come to here, the feeling of Julia innermost feelings to Eric has been complex, as far as possible is avoiding with Eric, when meets. “两个人一起难道他就不说了吗?”进入庄园之后,茱莉亚摘掉脸上的墨镜,打量着周围的景色问道,说起来,她已经忘记自己多久没有来过这里了,茱莉亚内心对艾瑞克的感觉一直非常复杂,也就尽量避免着与艾瑞克当相见。 He can certainly, but, you can definitely help me withstand, right?” Elizabeth tian the cheek was saying grinningly. “他当然会,不过,你肯定能帮我承受一些,对吧?”伊丽莎白觍着脸蛋笑嘻嘻地说道。 Yeah, knew that you are really my this whole life biggest misfortune.” “哎,认识你真是我这辈子最大的不幸。” Elizabeth stops the car(riage), shakes the head saying: Has made a mistake, knew that Eric is.” 伊丽莎白停好车,摇头道:“错了,认识艾瑞克才是。” both of you are,” Julia carries the pocket to get out with Elizabeth together, said. 你们两个都是,”茱莉亚拎起包包跟着伊丽莎白一起下了车,说道。 Arrives at the villa entrance, Julia looks that Elizabeth presses the combination lock of front door skilled, gives birth to a light acid intent at heart, she may not know his family's password is many. 来到别墅门口,茱莉亚看着伊丽莎白熟练地按动大门的密码锁,心里又生出一股淡淡的酸意,她可还不知道他家里的密码是多少呢。 His birthday, but is in reverse,” Elizabeth is looking at the Julia's complexion, has patted her with a smile, said. “他的生日啦,不过是倒过来的,”伊丽莎白望着茱莉亚的脸色,笑着拍了她一下,说道。 Manages my anything matter,” Julia ships out the appearance that does not care about saying that actually silently wrote down at heart.( To be continued please search the floating astronomy, the novel is better to renew is quicker! “管我什么事,”茱莉亚装出一副不在乎的模样说道,心里却默默地记了下来。(未完待续请搜索飄天文學,小说更好更新更快! ... ...
