Chapter 471 第471章 Perhaps when for frightening that to pursue the Los Angeles rebellion causes, on May 15 crime action movie «Lethal Weapon 3» screened, the people in abundance enter the movie theater, the Warner the classical TV serial movie third character radical week attain have surpassed 40 million USD Box Office, had a good start to 1992 summer files, let worry much the Los Angeles rebellion will have the influence Hollywood Film Studio to relax to summer files Box Office. 或许是为了驱逐洛杉矶暴动引起的惊吓,五月15日犯罪动作片《致命武器3》上映时,人们纷纷走进电影院,华纳的这个经典系列片第三部首周就拿到了超过4000万美元的票房,算是给1992年的暑期档开了个好头,也让不少担忧洛杉矶暴动会对暑期档票房造成影响的好莱坞电影公司松了一口气。 On May 22, third screening of another classical series, but, 《Alien 3》 did not have that good destiny, the first week only attains Box Office that 20 million has raised one's head, is only «Lethal Weapon 3» Box Office half, but the cost of this sequel is actually «Lethal Weapon 3» 1.5 times. 五月22日,又一个经典系列的第三部上映,不过,《异形3》却没有了那么好的命运,首周只拿到了2000万出头的票房,只有《致命武器3》票房的一半,不过这部续集的成本却是《致命武器3》的1.5倍。 Although in the memory has the impression, but Eric found time to watch this movie to the movie theater personally, because 《Alien 3》 was the same with first two, had famous Director as before, David Fincher. As Director that shoots mv builds up, after David Fincher takes up the movie guide sleeve, as if turned into another person, although is the movie maiden work, but 《Alien 3》 has manifested the darkness frightened style of David Fincher classics. 虽然记忆里有印象,不过艾瑞克还是抽空亲自到电影院看了这部电影,因为《异形3》和前两部一样,依旧有一个大名鼎鼎的导演,大卫.芬奇。作为一个拍摄mv起家的导演,大卫.芬奇拿起电影导筒之后似乎变成了另外一个人,虽然是电影处女作,不过《异形3》已经体现出了大卫.芬奇经典的黑暗惊悚风格。 20 million USD first week Box Office is lower than Fox anticipated, the reputation of comprehensive movie, North America Box Office of this sequel likely did not arrive including the cost line. If no external force interference, David Fincher affirms again returns to the mv old profession to do for several years, the movie opens for one week later, Eric hears Fox with David. Finland has terminated the contract. Meanwhile by making a clean sweep also has to recommend David Fincher to hold the post of a Director Fox movie-making unit management. 2000万美元的首周票房远低于福克斯的预期,综合电影的口碑,这部续集的北美票房很可能连成本线都到不了。如果没有外力干扰的话,大卫.芬奇肯定得回到mv的老本行再干几年,电影上映一周之后,艾瑞克就听说福克斯就与大卫.芬解除了合约。同时被扫地出门的还有推荐大卫.芬奇担任导演的福克斯制片部一位高管。 Although Eric is interested in David Fincher very much, does not have anxiously to contact the opposite party, in any case in a short time. Will not have Film Studio to invite this just to screw up new military recruits Director of 《Alien》 series again. 艾瑞克虽然对大卫.芬奇很感兴趣,却也没有急着让人接触对方,反正短时间内。不会再有电影公司邀请这位刚刚搞砸了《异形》系列的菜鸟导演。 Originally the Disney plan places the last week of May to screen that «Sister Act», after Eric urged specially, to avoid running upon the big piece that in June showed crowded, Disney changed the files «Sister Act» to July 10. 原本迪斯尼打算将那部《修女也疯狂》放在五月的最后一周上映,不过在艾瑞克特意叮嘱过后,为了避免撞上六月份密集上映的大片,迪斯尼将《修女也疯狂》改档到了七月十号。 Starting from late May, Eric was then bringing the «Twister» movie-making team started the final propaganda of movie, although the Eric movie did not have the fixed style, but relied on each movie very splendid quality as before also to accumulate the massive movie fans. In addition after the movie that two years promote, as well as once that preview the visual impact on Super Bowl. The movie fans generally have filled with very great anticipation to «Twister». 从五月下旬开始,艾瑞克便带着《龙卷风》的制片团队开始了影片的最后宣传,虽然艾瑞克的电影一直没有固定的风格,但凭借每部电影都非常出色的质量依旧也积累了大量的影迷。再加上时隔两年才推出的电影,以及曾经在超级碗上的那支预告片的视觉冲击。影迷们普遍对《龙卷风》充满了很大期待。 At the end of May, reflects after several rounds points, the movie criticism about «Twister» also successively appeared on the media, although many film critic have not appraised to the popcorn movie of this any connotation high. Actually cannot deny that in the movie that lifelike CG Special Effects that makes the person praise to the heavens, under the Firefly public relations, «Twister» also won very good reputation. 五月底,经过几轮点映,关于《龙卷风》的影评也陆续出现在了媒体上,虽然不少影评人对这部没有任何内涵的爆米花电影评价不高。却也不能否认电影中那一幕幕让人叹为观止的逼真cg特效,在萤火虫的公关之下,《龙卷风》也赢得了一个很好的口碑。 In all situations of being ready, passes in May finally, the disturbance about Los Angeles rebellion as if completely extinguishes, newspaper or the television media, little again mentioned the big event of this world-shaking, after all, this matter internally foreign. It is not a too honored matter. 一切就绪的情况下,五月份终于过去,关于洛杉矶暴动的风波似乎完全消弭,无论是报纸还是电视媒体,都很少再提及这次震惊世界的大事件,毕竟,这件事对内还是对外。都不是一件太光彩的事情。 However, has had the matter, wants to forget is always not so easy. Not only so, some people even wishes make the person remember these matters profoundly, to anticipate that can bring certain reconsideration. 不过,发生过的事情,想要被忘记总是不那么容易的。不但如此,还有一些人甚至想要让人更加深刻地记住这些事情,以期待能够带来某些反思。 For example at present, in the Eric office sits this kind of person. 比如眼前,艾瑞克办公室里就坐着这样一个人。 A woman. 一个女人。 Stature tall and slender, the back is stiff, in the beautiful facial features is having several points of heroic spirit. 个子高挑,脊背挺直,美丽的面容中带着几分英气。 Black practicing moral culture jacket. The dark blue jeans, on the foot are stepping on pair of hard bottom leather boots. As if forever so is scrupulous about every detail. 黑色的修身夹克衫。深蓝色的牛仔裤,脚上踩着一双硬底皮靴。似乎永远都那么一丝不苟。 „This is a time very grieved turmoil, before the matter has many links, if we can pay attention slightly, this tragedy definitely will again not happen. However now looks like, and nobody is willing to engage in introspection this tragedy carefully the root, therefore I want to manufacture a documentary film this matter, concrete material here.” “这是一次很让人心痛的动乱,在事情发生之前的很多环节,如果我们能够稍微注意一下,这场悲剧肯定就不会再发生。不过现在看来,并没有人愿意仔细反省这场悲剧的根源,所以我想把这件事制作成一个纪录片,具体的材料都在这里了。” Kathryn Bigelow was saying a thick dispatch case will advance in front of Eric, receives to reach behind the back, somewhat scruple adds: „This documentary film will not affect the manufacture of «Saving Private Ryan» absolutely, I the documentary film at the end of the year will manufacture, and...... Only needed the budget of 5 million USD to suffice.” 凯瑟琳.毕格罗说着将厚厚的一个文件袋推到艾瑞克面前,收回手,才有些迟疑地补充道:“这个纪录片绝对不会影响到《拯救大兵瑞恩》的制作,我会在年底之间将纪录片制作出来,而且只……只需要500万美元的预算就够了。” Eric nodded, opened the dispatch case, pulls out inside thick printing material to lower the head to read. 艾瑞克点了点头,将文件袋打开,掏出里面厚厚的打印资料低头翻看了起来。 When Kathryn Bigelow cannot see Eric to lower the head the expression, therefore the attention will shift to that hand of change paper page, Eric turns the page the speed not to be quick, actually also discontented, Kathryn Bigelow waited for a while peacefully, suddenly cannot bear open the mouth saying: „Won't you know?” 凯瑟琳.毕格罗看不到艾瑞克低头时的表情,于是将注意力转移到翻动纸页的那只手上,艾瑞克翻页的速度并不快,却也不满,凯瑟琳.毕格罗安静地等了一会儿,突然忍不住开口道:“你不会已经知道了吧？” Eric looked up woman one eyes, closed front project material, pulled open nearby filing cabinet, has put out two similar dispatch cases from inside quickly. 艾瑞克抬头看了女人一眼,合上面前的项目资料,拉开旁边的文件柜,很快从里面拿出了两个类似的文件袋。 Why does not know, saw that these Kathryn feel inexplicably somewhat afraid, unusually has one type to lower the head to avoid the impulsion of Eric vision. 不知道为何,看到这些的凯瑟琳莫名地感觉有些心虚,少有地产生一种想要低头避开艾瑞克目光的冲动。 „This is one week ago, I attain from Warner Chairman Robert Daley, this is Fox gives me. Really affecting, Kathryn, cannot think that I am only your final that choice, I have thought we are the good friend are coming,” after noting woman's subtle expression change, Eric has shown a distressed expression intentionally. “这一份是一周前,我从华纳总裁罗伯特.戴利那儿拿到的,这一份是福克斯给我的。真是让人伤心啊,凯瑟琳,想不到我只是你最后的那个选择,我一直都以为我们是好朋友来着,”注意到女人微妙的表情变化之后,艾瑞克故意露出了一个痛心的表情。 „It is not this, reason that I will relate Warner and Fox first , because Warner CNN and Fox Fox news station there has the sufficient news source material available,” Kathryn Bigelow sped up an expression to explain slightly, but she noted Eric corners of the mouth that wiping the happy expression that quickly was hard to conceal, realized that this little man started the routine accent. Played itself, the woman receives the expression immediately: „Eric, your this, you......” “不是这样的,我之所以会先联系华纳和福克斯,是因为华纳的cnn和福克斯的福克斯新闻台那里有充足的新闻素材可用,”凯瑟琳.毕格罗稍稍加快了点语气解释着,不过她很快注意到了艾瑞克嘴角那一抹难以掩饰的笑意,意识到这个小男人又开始习惯性调.戏自己了,女人立刻收起表情:“艾瑞克,你又这样,你……” The women somewhat clumsily are collecting this appropriate condemnation words and phrases, Eric raised hand to surrender: „Good, Kathryn, does not crack a joke, we chatted the matter of documentary film.” 女人正有些笨拙地搜罗这合适的谴责词句,艾瑞克已经举手投降:“好吧,凯瑟琳,不开玩笑了,我们还是谈谈纪录片的事情吧。” Kathryn has gawked under. Somewhat helpless, actually makes the expression that please say: „Good.” 凯瑟琳愣了下。有些无奈,却还是做了个请说的表情:“好吧。” The Eric finger is twisting front paper page, the expression somewhat seriously said: „Although some media put the blame on this matter these years high unemployment rate. As well as Los Angeles huge sneak crossing immigration community, but everybody is well aware actually, the root of Los Angeles rebellion, is the ingrained racial conflict, this issue is sensitive, does not dare to expose this issue including Bush Sr. in the televised address frankly, therefore. How do you plan to do?” 艾瑞克手指捻着面前的纸页,语气有些严肃地说道:“虽然一些媒体将这件事归咎于这几年的高失业率。以及洛杉矶庞大的偷渡移民群体,不过其实大家都心知肚明,洛杉矶暴动的根源,还是根深蒂固的种族冲突,这个问题敏感,连老布什在电视讲话中都不敢直言不讳地点破这个问题,所以。你打算怎么做？” „I do not plan to express any view, I want the cause and effect of this matter. Shows with a documentary film at an angle of view of complete observer,” Kathryn was saying, suddenly remembers this thought the original intention, stemmed from Eric once to she has said some words about her movie. Thinks of these, the woman could not bear look up the opposite youth, vision looking at each other at that moment quickly put aside. “我不打算发表任何看法,我只是想要将这件事的前因后果。以一个完全旁观者的视角用一部纪录片展现出来,”凯瑟琳说着,突然想起这个念头的初衷,还是源于艾瑞克曾经对她说过的关于她的电影的一些话。想到这些,女人忍不住抬头看了对面的青年,目光对视的那一刻又很快移开。 Eric as if has not noted this detail , to continue saying: „The present opportunity is very sensitive, immediately was President has elected, Democratic Party or Republican Party, are not willing to express many views to this matter, everybody was desalinating this matter diligently.” 艾瑞克似乎并没有注意到这个细节,继续道:“现在的时机很敏感,马上就是总统选举了,无论是民主党还是共和党,都不愿意对这件事发表过多的看法,大家都在努力淡化这件事。” „Eric, I am not a politician.” Kathryn said earnestly. “艾瑞克,我不是政客。”凯瑟琳认真地说道。 Eric looks at the woman firm vision, sighed at heart, said: „Kathryn. You should know that in this world always has too many people, the custom guesses the motives of certain matters with the idea of most evil intention.” 艾瑞克看着女人坚定的目光,心里叹了口气,道:“凯瑟琳。你应该知道,这世界上总是有太多人,习惯用最恶意的想法去揣测某些事情的动机。” Kathryn shook the head: „I do not care.” 凯瑟琳摇了摇头:“我不在乎。” „Good, that does,” Eric fills in the material the material bag: „I will help you relate the Fox news station, making the news source material that they opened accumulated a while ago give you. If insufficient, the CNN that side I can also try.” “好吧,那就做吧,”艾瑞克将资料塞回资料袋中:“我会帮你联系福克斯新闻台,让他们开放前段时间积累的新闻素材给你。如果不够的话,cnn那边我也可以试一下。” „Thank you. Eric,” Kathryn somewhat is at heart affected, this month she besides the preparation material, the majority of time contacts with Warner and Fox, but has actually been running into a wall, two Film Studio both plan to her documentary film indifferently, Warner has scruples the influence of this matter, after all, if were not CNN of Warner has first emitted the incomplete law enforcement recording tape, the disturbance will not make such greatly, these days CNN bore the tremendous pressure from all parties, now the matter subsides with great difficulty, Warner looked forward to all people to forget this matter. But Fox cannot see the prospective profit of this documentary film, although the investment of 5 million USD is not big, but Fox aware has not drawn cash the hobby that throws away carelessly. “谢谢你。艾瑞克,”凯瑟琳心里有些感动,这个月她除了准备材料外,大部分时间都在与华纳和福克斯接触,不过却一直在碰壁,两家电影公司都对她的纪录片计划无动于衷,华纳是顾忌到这件事的影响,毕竟,如果不是华纳旗下的cnn首先放出了不完整的执法录像带,风波也不会闹得这么大,这段时间cnn已经承受了来自各方的巨大压力,现在事情好不容易平息,华纳巴不得所有人都将这件事忘记。而福克斯则是看不到这部纪录片的盈利前景,500万美元的投资虽然不算大,但福克斯也自觉没有拿钱打水漂的爱好。 Eric receives the material, said with a smile: „Oral thanks, I also think that you at least will ask me to eat meal, must get off work.” 艾瑞克将资料收好,笑道:“只是口头感谢吗,我还以为你至少会请我吃顿饭呢,现在都要下班了。” Kathryn thinks, the nod said: „That...... Good.” 凯瑟琳想了想,还是点头道:“那……好吧。” Eric returns in the material the filing cabinet, convenient pulls out two movie tickets from inside: „As the repayment, has had supper, I asked you to watch the movie, the «Twister» points reflect.” 艾瑞克将资料放回文件柜里,顺手又从里面掏出两张电影票:“作为回报,吃过晚餐,我请你看电影,《龙卷风》点映。” „, This does not use,” Kathryn has gawked staring, found an excuse: „I do not like too late going back.” “啊,这个不用了吧,”凯瑟琳愣了愣,找了个理由:“我不喜欢太晚回去。” „I know certainly that will not delay you to rest, I can deliver you to go home personally.” “我当然知道,不会耽误你休息的,我可以亲自送你回家。” „I...... I have the car(riage), can go back,” the Kathryn expression was almost somewhat flurried. “我……我有车,可以自己回去,”凯瑟琳语气几乎有些慌乱了。 Eric looked at the watch, said: „That this, where you like eating, my guest does as the host pleases.” 艾瑞克看了看表,道:“那就这样,你喜欢在哪里吃,我客随主便。” Kathryn stands up with Eric, said: „A friend has recommended a nearby Chinese restaurant, we can go to there.” 凯瑟琳跟着艾瑞克站起身,道:“一个朋友推荐过附近的一家中餐馆,我们可以去那里。” Two people like this left Firefly Headquarters, arrives one home to repair also calculates the fine Chinese restaurant, but, although Eric sees the guest in Chinese restaurant is not too many, but after ordering food, the supper crossed long time the end to come up. 两个人就这样离开了萤火虫总部,一路来到一家装修还算精致的中餐馆,不过,虽然艾瑞克看到中餐馆的客人并不是太多,但点过菜之后,晚餐过了良久才端上来。 Looks in the tray that skin and bones stuffed dumpling and another somewhat loose tomato scrambled eggs, Eric cannot bear start to spit the trough: „Kathryn, I really am somewhat suspected that your friend out of any thoughts, will recommend this dining room to you.” 看着盘子里那瘦骨嶙峋的饺子和另外一盘有些散的番茄炒蛋,艾瑞克忍不住开始吐槽:“凯瑟琳,我真是有些怀疑,你那位朋友到底是出于什么心思,才会向你推荐这家餐厅。” In the Kathryn expression is also bringing some slightly awkward, last year in that time that New York was together, she vaguely remembered Eric quite to like having the Chinese meal, specially brought the opposite party to come to here, now she also deceived feelings. 凯瑟琳表情里也带着些许小尴尬,去年在纽约相处的那段时间,她依稀记得艾瑞克比较喜欢吃中餐,才特意带着对方来这里,现在她自己也有一种被骗的感觉。 „Possibly is we have not selected to the dish, did not say that many Chinese restaurants have...... The dish, other cuisine is quite often ordinary, or do you select other again?” “可能是我们没有点对菜吧,不是说很多中餐馆都有一些……拿手菜,另外的菜式往往都比较平常,要不你再点些其他的？” Eric looked at the surroundings, in the evening this time, if the meal unusual delicacy of this dining room, the surroundings have definitely been filled, but now guest half. 艾瑞克看了看周围,傍晚这个时间段,如果这家餐厅的饭菜非常美味的话,周围肯定坐满了,不过现在客人连一半都不到。 „consider as finished,” Eric looks at the woman somewhat poverty-stricken expression, shook the head, picks a stuffed dumpling to taste with the chopsticks skilled, said: „Actually is good, my 0.1 can eat to the full again.” “还是算了,”艾瑞克看着女人有些窘迫的表情,摇了摇头,熟练地用筷子夹起一只饺子尝了尝,道:“其实还算不错,我再0.1份就能吃饱了。” „That again 0.1,” Kathryn was saying, beckons toward not far away that wear very irritable Chinese-style clothing waiter, told several, said to Eric: „I have not come to here, next time, I ask you to go to I quite familiar dining room to eat.” “那就再0.1份,”凯瑟琳说着,朝不远处那个穿着非常别扭的唐装侍者招了招手,吩咐了几句,才对艾瑞克道:“我也没有来过这里,下次,我请你去我比较熟悉的餐厅吃吧。” „Naturally does not have the issue, do not forget, I remember that is good,” Eric said with a smile. “当然没问题,你可别忘了啊,我记忆里可是非常好的,”艾瑞克笑着说道。 „,” Kathryn will not be studying the Eric appearance, took up nearby chopsticks to try to clamp the stuffed dumpling in tray, finally gave up, has changed the familiar knife and fork. “不会的,”凯瑟琳学着艾瑞克的模样,拿起旁边的筷子试着夹了夹盘子里的饺子,最后还是放弃,换了熟悉的刀叉。 Perhaps was the inferior supper shifted certain attention, two people ripe wound to chat slowly, in more than one year, Kathryn was bringing a group, continuously in the material of collection about Second World War, and material that will compile regularly submitted in the Eric hand. However because Kathryn avoids intentionally, two people have not actually seen several. 或许是蹩脚的晚餐转移了某些注意力,两个人慢慢地又熟络地聊了起来,这一年多,凯瑟琳带着一个小组,一直在收集关于第二次世界大战的资料,并且定期将汇总的资料递交到艾瑞克手中。不过因为凯瑟琳故意躲避,两个人却并没有见过几面。 Eric also can only belong to the woman thoughts to be difficult to guess above the reason, he could see that Kathryn is not repugnant to oneself, but perhaps is because their age differs the too big reason, is together continuously some barriers. 艾瑞克也只能将原因归于女人心思难猜上面,他看得出,凯瑟琳对自己并不反感,不过或许是因为两人年龄相差太大的缘故,相处起来才一直有些隔阂。 Has had the supper, Eric and Kathryn drives to arrive at a theater on Hollywood walk of fame together, the admission ticket in hand is at exactly 8 : 00 numbers, they arrive at time was 8 : 15, in a hurry buys some popcorn then together to walk as before. 吃过晚餐,艾瑞克和凯瑟琳一起开车来到位于好莱坞星光大道上的一家影院,手中的门票是八点整的场次,两人到的时候依旧是八点一刻,匆匆买了些爆米花便一起走了进去。 Although is shown to the public also several days of time to «Twister», but, is to the «Twister» movie quality absolute self-confident, the before point of small scale reflects one week from being shown to the public to start. Regarding a quality disappointing movie, the point reflects only ahead of time in audience there loss reputation, the view shade that but regarding a good movie, the suitable movie instead will accumulate the audience is warm, although «Twister» does not have what depth and connotation, is actually a standard high-quality popcorn movie. 虽然离《龙卷风》公映还有几天时间,不过,处于对《龙卷风》影片质量的绝对自信,小规模的点映从公映前的一星期就已经开始。对于一部质量差劲的电影来说,点映只会提前在观众那里损失口碑,不过对于一部好电影,适当的电影反而会积累观众的观影热情,《龙卷风》虽然没有什么深度和内涵,却是一部标准的优质爆米花电影。 „Official being shown to the public time is on June 5, but, so far the position, «Twister» accumulated 200 ten thousand USD Box Office, moreover reflects at less than 50 theater points, after” they found the seat, Eric somewhat slightly happily said. ( to be continued ) “正式的公映时间是六月五号,不过,到目前位置,《龙卷风》已经积累了200多万美元的票房,而且只是在不到50家影院点映,”两人找到座位之后,艾瑞克有些小得意地说道。(未完待续)
