“《侏罗纪公园》在考艾岛的拍摄时间大概在10到12周左右,这期间如果没有紧急事务的话,我只会通过电话与洛杉矶联系,希望大家能够做好自己分内的事情,”艾瑞克随意整理着面前的资料总结道,会议室里一众总裁、副总裁、各部门经理纷纷点头附和着。
After declaring the meeting adjourned, Ericas usualhas blockedFireflyandDisney'sseveralmanagers.
宣布散会之后,艾瑞克照例将萤火虫和迪斯尼的几位主管拦了下来。„Eric, what matterbut alsothere is?” After severalpeoplefollowtogetherEriccomes tohisoffice, Jeffreyopens the mouthto ask.
“艾瑞克,还有什么事情吗?”几人一起跟随艾瑞克来到他的办公室之后,杰弗里开口问道。„AboutColumbiathat side,”Ericwas saying, takes out the materialfrom the filing cabinet, has handed overtoJeffrey, Michael Lynn, KatzenbergandFrank Wells.
“关于哥伦比亚那边的,”艾瑞克说着,从文件柜里取出资料,给杰弗里、迈克尔.林恩、卡森伯格和弗兰克.威尔斯递了过去。MentionedColumbia, Jeffreyseveralpeopleunderstoodactually the meaning of Eric, Ericmustsaydefinitelynotwithcooperation of Columbiaaboutmovie, butcarved up the matter of Columbiadistribution circuit, afterseveralmonths of operation, Fireflynot onlyhas attainedColumbiain the South Americamajority ofreleaseresources, through other lay-offas well asmeasures of Peter Guber, the releaseresources of Europecountryalsostartedto flow inFirefly.
提到哥伦比亚,杰弗里几人其实都已经明白了艾瑞克的意思,艾瑞克要说的肯定不是与哥伦比亚关于电影方面的合作,而是瓜分哥伦比亚发行渠道的事情,经过几个月的操作,萤火虫不但拿到了哥伦比亚在南美洲的大部分发行资源,通过彼得.古柏的裁员以及其他一些措施,欧洲国家的发行资源也开始流入萤火虫。AlthoughColumbiaimpossibleto abrogate the subsidiary company in Europethisworld second largest ticketwarehousecompletely, but, cutspartis the easymatter, toconceal the real objective, whichFireflyonlyhas absorbedabouthalffromcutsubsidiary companystaff member, the person who moreoverhalftrulylaid off can only confessbad luck. ButacceptedFireflycertainscopeto raise in salaryandsee the predicament of thesetrulycutstaff, byFirefly‚offering amnesty’thatsomestaff memberssaidanythingis discontented.
虽然哥伦比亚不可能将欧洲这个世界第二大票仓的分公司全部裁撤,不过,裁掉一部分还是轻而易举的事情,为了掩饰真正目的,萤火虫只从哪些被裁掉的分公司职员中吸收了一半左右,另外一半真正被裁员的人只能自认倒霉。而接受了萤火虫一定幅度加薪又看到了那些真正被裁的员工的窘境,被萤火虫‘招安’的那部分职员也没有表示什么不满。In the worlddid not havewall that did not ventilate, Japanesealsoto realizegraduallysomeimproper. Andraised the questionto the Columbiamanagement, butwas actually used‚Assassin's mace’to keep offbyPeter Guber. This‚Assassin's mace’resignssimply. Facing the question of Sony, Peter GubertelephonestoAkio Moritapersonally, expressed that ifSonyHeadquartersdoes not trust‚reform measure that’headopts, thenhecansubmit the resignationtoBoard of Directors.
世界上没有不透风的墙,日本人逐渐地也察觉了一些不妥。并且向哥伦比亚管理层提出了质疑,不过却被彼得.古柏使出了‘杀手锏’挡了回去。这个‘杀手锏’非常简单辞职。面对索尼的质疑,彼得.古柏亲自打电话给盛田昭夫,表示如果索尼总部不信任他采取的‘改革措施’,那么他可以向董事会提出辞职。Those whomakemanypeoplesurprisedis, thisrottenmovewas unexpectedly effective, looks likeinEricsomewhatis really unthinkable. Oftenonly thenhas made the companymanagement of extraordinaryresult, has the energyto make‚resignationthreat’thissign. The Peter Guber for twoyearscontinueto giveColumbiato bring the huge loss, ifareEric, looking forwardmakesPeter Guberget the hell out, but after Sonyreceives the resignationthreat of Peter Guber. Has compromisedunexpectedly, evenhas also replaced the management of SonyUnited Statesbranch.
让很多人惊讶的是,这种烂招竟然奏效了,在艾瑞克看来实在有些匪夷所思。往往只有做出了非凡成绩的公司管理层,才有底气打出‘辞职威胁’这张牌。彼得.古柏两年来持续给哥伦比亚带来巨额亏损,如果是艾瑞克,巴不得让彼得.古柏滚蛋,但索尼接到彼得.古柏的辞职威胁之后。竟然妥协了,甚至还撤换了索尼美国分部的一个高管。„That sideEuropewas similar, recentlyIhad read the material in Asian, after”Ericseveralpeoplesend the material, by the sofasaid: „Southeast Asiaseveralcountriestosuppressdumping of Hong Kong, is releasingmore and morestrictrestrictive measurein recent years, buttheyhave actually relaxed the entrythreshold of Hollywoodmovie, thisto usis a verygoodnews.”
“欧洲那边已经差不多了,最近我看过了亚洲方面的资料,”艾瑞克给几人发完资料后,靠在沙发上说道:“东南亚几个国家为了抑制港片的倾销,最近几年都在出台越来越严格的限制措施,不过他们却放宽了好莱坞电影的进入门槛,这对我们来说是一个非常好的消息。”Althoughthismatterhas not relatedwithSonyanything, butKatzenbergcarefullyread the material in hand. Said: „Eric, Sonyhas realizedthismatter, buthas not takenanymeasureunder the pressures in variousaspects. However, Ithought that was also similar, in my opinion, Columbiain the Southeast Asiadistribution circuitcompared withourmany, theseresourcesis not similar to the weak is the same, wedo not need, forthesetest the Japanesebottom line.”
虽然这件事跟索尼没什么关系,不过卡森伯格还是细致地将手中的资料看了一遍。才说道:“艾瑞克,索尼已经察觉了这件事,只是迫于各方面的压力才没有采取什么措施。不过,我觉得也差不多了,在我看来,哥伦比亚在东南亚的发行渠道并不比我们强多少,那些资源就如同鸡肋一样,我们没有必要为了那些去试探日本人的底线。”„Iunderstand.” The Ericnodsaid with a smile: „Youlook at the lastpage, Ionlyplanto attainColumbiain the subsidiary company in Asianthatplace.”
“我明白。”艾瑞克点头笑道:“你们看最后一页,我只打算拿到哥伦比亚在亚洲那一个地方的分公司。”Anotherfourpeopleperused the lastpage the material: „Mainland China?”
另外四人都将资料翻到了最后一页:“中囯大陆?”„Un.”Ericnods, hehas not thoughtthatColumbiais equipped with the subsidiary companyinmainland Chinaunexpectedly, even if Disney, only then a nominaloffice, Fireflyhas not even had the contact in moviecooperationwith that side.
“嗯。”艾瑞克点点头,他自己也没有想到,哥伦比亚竟然在中国大陆设有分公司,而哪怕是迪斯尼,也只有一个虚设的办事处而已,萤火虫甚至都还没有与那边进行电影合作方面的接触。Michael Lynnasked: „Eric, youthought that theredoes have the development potential?”迈克尔.林恩问道:“艾瑞克,你觉得那里有发展潜力?”Ericsaid with a smile: „ThisIcannottoyouraccurateanswers, Ionlyknowthattherehas the 1.1 billion70 millionpopulation.”艾瑞克笑道:“这个我不能给你们准确的答案,我只知道,那里有11亿7000万人口。”Anotherfourpeoplehave looked at each otherone, as the Film Studiomanagement, they are certainly clearto the situation in oceanopposite shore, that sideseals up the marketto be neglectedbyHollywoodextremelysubconsciously, buthearsEricto say1.1 billion70 millionthisdigit, theyhadoneto change countenance, ifhad the state of sohugepopulation base to open the film market, whatsituationthatwill beone?
另外四人不由地对视了一眼,作为电影公司的高管,他们当然对大洋对岸的情形再清楚不过,那边极其封闭市场一直被好莱坞下意识地忽略,但听到艾瑞克说出11亿7000万这个数字,他们都不由地产生了一丝动容,如果拥有如此庞大人口基数的国度能够开放电影市场,那将是一番什么情形?„Ithink to try,”Katzenbergopens the mouth saying: „That sidehas been attemptingto openmarket, thisisahead of time the bestopportunity of layout . Moreover, even ifwere defeated, wewill not loseanything.”
“我觉得可以试试,”卡森伯格率先开口道:“那边一直在尝试开放市场,这是提前布局的最好时机,而且,就算失败了,我们也不会损失什么。”„How should thatdospecifically?”SomeJeffreyalsomeaningsmoveask.
“那具体该怎么做?”杰弗里也有些意动地问道。„FirstreceivesColumbiainthat sidesubsidiary company, establishes the relation, thenstrives for the way of dividing up moneypatternintroduction, if not really good, earnsthat sidebeing shown to the publicqualificationsto be also good, «Twister»is appropriate, thismovienotanysensitiveplot, does not havewhatpolitical orientation, in brief, wemustdocultivates the market, thisdoes not needusto consumemanyenergy, butcanbring the unexpectedresulttousabsolutely,” the Ericcorners of the mouthsaidwith a smile.
“先接收哥伦比亚在那边的分公司,建立联系,然后争取分账模式引进的方式,如果实在不行,拿到那边的公映资格也行,《龙卷风》就非常合适,这部电影没有任何敏感情节,也没有什么政治倾向,总之,我们要做的就是培育市场,这并不需要我们耗费多少精力,但绝对能够给我们带来意想不到的结果,”艾瑞克嘴角含笑地说道。Discusseda halfhour, formulatedsomeimplementation details, severaltalented peoplegot off worktogether.
讨论了半个小时,制定出了一些执行细节,几人才一起下班。„Under do youwantto go to«The Mask»preview ceremony?”Theystandin the elevatortogether, Jeffreyasked.
“等下你是不是要去《变相怪杰》的首映式?”两人一起站在电梯里,杰弗里问道。Ericnods, says with a smile: „Does not gogood, small girlhas rubbedmyseveraldays, otherwiseInowalreadyinHawaii.”艾瑞克点点头,笑道:“不去不行,小妮子磨了我好几天,要不然我现在已经在夏威夷了。”„Ihave watched the «The Mask»preview, said that thismoviehas made, moreoversome, are very without reason strange,”Jeffreyrecalled, commented.
“我看过《变相怪杰》的样片了,怎么说呢,这部电影太闹了一些,而且有些没头没脑的,很古怪,”杰弗里回忆了下,评论道。„Thisdid not shootto the movie of yourthisagesaudience,”Ericsaid with a smile: „Moreoveryousaidis the «The Mask»style, Iplanto producesuchmoviefrom the beginning. Thismoviebiggest spotlight, is the performance of Jim Carrey.”
“这本来就不是拍给你这个年龄段观众的电影,”艾瑞克笑道:“而且你说的就是《变相怪杰》的风格,我从一开始就打算制作这样的电影,而且。这部电影最大的亮点,还是金.凯瑞的表演。”„Youthought how manyBox Officethistimecanattain?”Jeffreyasked the most issue of concern.
“那你觉得这次能拿到多少票房?”杰弗里还是问了一个最关心的问题。Erichas thought, said: „100 millionshouldnot have the issue. If no «Twister» and competition of «Batman Returns», shouldalsobe ableto be higher.”艾瑞克想了下,道:“一亿应该没问题吧。如果没有《龙卷风》和《蝙蝠侠归来》的竞争,应该还能再高一些。”Jeffreyopened mouth, has not said itselfto estimateat heartthatshakes the headto say with a smile: „Does not know the confidence of whichreallyyourcoming, 100 millionUSD, thiswas quite high.”杰弗里张了张嘴,却没有说出自己心里的预估,摇着头笑道:“真不知道你哪来的信心,一亿美元,这已经相当高了。”Twopeoplewere chatting, JeffreyrefusedEricto participate in the «The Mask»preview ceremonyinvitationtogether.

两个人聊着,杰弗里拒绝了艾瑞克一起参加《变相怪杰》首映式的邀请。独自开车离开,艾瑞克也上了自己的车。向举办首映式的中国大剧院驶去。

……Fiveo'clock, the finishing classtinghas rungfinally, Britney that the chinwas distractedhits the spiritimmediately, 2-3tidy up the book bag. Left the classroomfollowing the stream of peopletogether.
五点钟,下课铃声终于响了起来,本来支着下巴走神的布兰妮立刻打起了精神,三两下收拾好书包。顺着人流一起离开了教室。Althoughis the Disney Channelyoungchild star, but, otherBritneyandseveralsmallActormustgo to school . Moreover, todeal with the Actorassociation and protection of minors, Disney must be responsible formaking up for a missed lessonfortheirsmallActorregulararrangements, regardingliving**Britney that plays, all these is a suffering.
虽然是迪斯尼频道的小童星,不过,布兰妮和其他几个小演员还是要上学,而且,为了应付演员协会和未成年人保护法,迪斯尼还要负责为他们的小演员定期安排补课,对于生**玩的布兰妮来说,所有这些都是一种煎熬。Leaves the classroom building, Britneyis just aboutto takeownbicycleto go home. Christinaran overfromanotherdirection.
离开教学楼,布兰妮正要取自己的自行车回家。克里斯蒂娜从另外一个方向跑了过来。Waits forChristinato run up to the near, Britneywith a smileasks: „Whatmatter, Chris?”
等克里斯蒂娜跑到近前,布兰妮才笑着问道:“什么事情,克丽丝?”Christinapulls outtwoticketsfrom the school uniformpocketgrinningly: „«The Mask»preview ceremonyadmission ticket. Drewgives, do youwantto go?”克里斯蒂娜笑嘻嘻地从校服口袋里掏出两张票:“《变相怪杰》的首映式门票。德鲁给的,你要去吗?”
The smiling face on Britneyfacedissipated, is staring at the admission ticket in Christinahand: „Drewgivesyou, how don't Iknow?”布兰妮脸上的笑容消散了一些,盯着克里斯蒂娜手中的门票:“德鲁给你的,我怎么不知道?”
The smiling face on Christinafaceis invariable, butsees the Britneyexpression, issomewhatis slightly self-satisfied. Ifwere notDrewhad confessedspecially the admission ticketgivesthemtwo, Christinawill not even tellBritneythisyoungfoolthismatter.克里斯蒂娜脸上的笑容不变,不过看到布兰妮的表情,还是稍微有些得意。如果不是德鲁特意交代了门票是给她们两个的,克里斯蒂娜甚至都不会将这件事告诉布兰妮这个小傻子。„Youcannot go. Words that does not go, Ishoutedmeaning that otherfriends,”Christinahave not explainedslightly, althoughDrewsaid the admission tickettothemtwo, but ifBritneyare not willingto go, whatmeansshedoes have?
“那你去不去。不去的话,我就喊其他朋友了,”克里斯蒂娜丝毫没有解释的意思,虽然德鲁说门票是给她们两个的,但如果布兰妮自己不愿意去,那她有什么办法呢?Britneylooks at the self-satisfiedvigor on Christinaface, impulsiveunderalsowantsto reject, thinksthatsaid: „Good, butImusttelephoneto the family/home.”布兰妮看着克里斯蒂娜脸上的得意劲儿,冲动之下还想要拒绝,不过想了想,却说道:“好吧,不过我得给家里打个电话。”„Reallytroublesome,”Christinahas cast aside the smallmouth, said: „Youare quicker, Oh, ifbumps intoDrew, perhapswe can also participate inpreview ceremonylaterparty, youshould bettersayonewithyourMama, perhapstonightDrewwill inviteusto go to herhometo live.”
“真麻烦,”克里斯蒂娜撇了撇小嘴,说道:“那你快些吧,还有哦,如果碰到德鲁的话,说不定我们还能参加首映式之后的派对呢,你最好跟你妈妈说一声,或许今天晚上德鲁会邀请我们去她家里住。”Britneyhearsthissaying, remembersin the Beverly Hillsvillagemansion the spaciousroom, the playroom, bedandswimming pool, contrastsagainownbed closet, immediatelywas excited.布兰妮听到这话,想起贝弗利山庄豪宅里宽大的房间、游戏室、大床、游泳池,再对比一下自己的小卧室,立刻兴奋了起来。Waits forBritneyto makecallwith the family/home, will move towardownbicycle, actuallyheld onbyChristina: „Do not ride a bicycle?”
等布兰妮跟家里打完电话,正要走向自己的自行车,却被克里斯蒂娜一把拉住:“你不会要骑车去吧?”„What to do can thatalso?”Britneyblinked.
“那还能怎么办?”布兰妮眨了眨眼。„Do not lose face, comeswithme,”ChristinadrewBritneyto go out of the door, has referred to a not far awayrental car: „Naturallywasgoes by car, thistimeItreated.”
“别丢人了,跟我来,”克里斯蒂娜拉着布兰妮走出了小门,指了指不远处的一辆出租车:“当然是坐车去了,这次我请客。”
A BritneydiscontentedChristinaalwaysself-satisfiedsmallappearance, said: „Does not needyouto invite, ouraa.”布兰妮不满克里斯蒂娜总是一副得意的小模样,说道:“不用你请,我们aa。”„Is casualyou,”Christinawalksto go forward, the driver there greetedwith, opens the vehicle door of copilotto worm one's way into.
“随便你,”克里斯蒂娜走上前,与等在那里的司机打了声招呼,拉开副驾驶的车门钻了进去。Britneyhas dug the smallmouth, actually can only the non-sentimenthopenot seatin the back seat.布兰妮撅了撅小嘴,却只能不情不愿地坐进后座里。
......
……Twogirlsgot outtogether, before seeing the Chinesebigtheatergate , the longred carpet, as well asonred carpet a splendid attireis accepting the star who the reporterphotographs, Britneylooks on red carpet that starfinewhiteformal clothes, somewhatenviessaid: „Reallyattractive.”
两个女孩一起下了车,看到中国大剧院门前长长的红地毯,以及红毯上一身盛装正在接受记者拍照的明星,布兰妮看着红毯上那位女星精致的白色礼服,有些羡慕地说道:“真漂亮啊。”„Theseare onlyFireflyinvite the youngstar in thermal field, the major suitinbehind,” an appearance of Christinayoungknow-it-all, the curling the lipsmallmouthsaid.
“这些都只是萤火虫请来热场的小明星而已,大牌都在后面呢,”克里斯蒂娜一副小万事通的模样,撇嘴小嘴说道。Britneydoes not wantto think of as worthlessbyChristina, received the envyingsmallexpressionquickly, looked atall around, could not bearaskslow voice: „Yeah, yousaidthatwecanseetonight...... SeesMr. Williams?”布兰妮可不想被克里斯蒂娜看扁,很快收起了羡慕的小表情,看了看四周,忍不住小声问道:“哎,你说,我们今天晚上能看到……看到威廉姆斯先生吗?”„Whoknows that”Christinashook the head, stood on tiptoes the tip of the toeto looktoward the red carpetend: „But, Mr. Williamsparticipates in the preview ceremonypossibilityto be very high, healsohaswithDrew......”
“谁知道呢,”克里斯蒂娜摇了摇头,也踮起脚尖朝红毯尽头看了看:“不过,威廉姆斯先生参加首映式的可能性很高呢,他可是跟德鲁还有……”
Here, Christinahas shut the smallmouthimmediately, the smallsecretandBritney that shedoes not wantto observeshared, but, Britneyhas not actually closely examinedherjustwords, continued saying: „Youlooked at«Twister», was really good, Ialsowantto look atseveralagain, what a pitydid not havethat manyspending money.”
说到这里,克里斯蒂娜立刻闭上了小嘴,她可不想将自己观察出来的小秘密与布兰妮分享,不过,布兰妮却并没有追问她刚刚的话,继续道:“你看《龙卷风》了吗,真是太棒了,我都还想再看几遍呢,可惜没那么多零花钱。”„Ifcangoto go toCliff Peak Manoragain, can definitely there personalscreening halllookcasually many were good,”Christinaalsosaid.
“如果能去再去尖角庄园的话,肯定能在那里的私人放映厅里随便看多少遍都行了,”克里斯蒂娜也说道。„WeaskedDrew, ledusto be goodagain?”Britneydoes not have the plansto say.
“那我们求求德鲁,再带我们去好不好?”布兰妮毫无心机地说道。Christinasomewhatslightlydespisedlooked atsidesillylittle girl, had not replied, but, sheactuallyalsoanticipated, butDrewdid not leadthemto go, Christinavoluntarilyhas not requestedvery muchintelligently, in her eyes, Drewdoes not know that compared withyoungfoolintelligentmanytimes, she is always very difficultto guess correctly that Drewwas thinkinganything, butBritney, so long aslooked at an opposite partyexpression, evencanguess correctly that the opposite partywill then makeanything.克里斯蒂娜有些小鄙视地瞄了眼身旁的傻妞儿,却没有回答,不过,她心里却也非常期待,只是德鲁不带她们去,克里斯蒂娜也很聪明地没有主动要求,在她眼里,德鲁不知道要比身旁的小傻子聪明多少倍,她总是很难猜到德鲁在想什么,而身旁的布兰妮,只要看一眼对方的表情,甚至都可以猜到对方接下来会做什么。Twogirlshave not entered the preview ceremonyscreening hallahead of time, butis similar toothermovie fansuch, has defendednearred carpet, full of enthusiasmseveral‚star’.
两个女孩并没有提前进入首映式放映厅,而是如同其他影迷那样,一直守在红毯附近,兴致勃勃地数着‘星星’。„Looksquickly, Mr. Williams, Drew,”close topreview ceremonystarts, Britneyis sharp-eyedsawtwoforms that in the red carpetendritualcar(riage)walks.
“快看啊,威廉姆斯先生,还有德鲁,”临近首映式开始的时候,布兰妮眼尖地看到红毯尽头礼车里走出来的两个身影。Waits forDrewto pull the arm of Eric, arrives around themslowly the time, Britneyis wielding the small handimmediatelydiligently, greetedtowardthem.
等德鲁挽着艾瑞克的手臂,缓缓地走到她们附近的时候,布兰妮立刻努力挥动着小手,朝两人打招呼。Ericwavesto hinttoward the crowd, saw the forms of twosmall girlvery mucheasily, but alsowinkedtowardtwolittle girlsspeciallyunder the eye.艾瑞克朝人群挥手示意,也很轻易地就看到了两个小丫头的身影,还特意朝两个小女孩眨了下眼睛。«The Mask»is the movie of PG-13rank, is the guardiancounselslevel, althoughthismovierecommends the guardianto accompanyto watch, buthas not actually carried on the limit that forceslikeR-rated, thereforetwogirlsappearinpreview ceremonyare not strange.
《变相怪杰》是pg-13级别的电影,也就是家长辅导级,这种电影虽然推荐家长陪同观看,不过却没有像r级那样进行强制的限制,因此两个女孩出现在首映式上也不奇怪。Acrossred carpet, enteredtheater, Ericasked: „IsawBoobooandChris, were theyyouinvite?”
一路穿过红毯,走进了影院,艾瑞克才问道:“我看到布布和克丽丝了,她们是你邀请来的?”Drewhonksmallmouth, groansdiscontentedlytwo: „Booboo, calledwas really kindenough.”德鲁不满地嘟起小嘴,哼哼两声:“布布,叫的真够亲切的。”Ericsubconsciouslyuses the quitefamiliarname, looks at the girlnoteverywherelook, raises the handwith a smile, has rubbedon the small girlheadunder.艾瑞克只是下意识用起比较熟悉的称呼,看着丫头不满地神色,笑着举起手,在小妮子脑袋上揉了下。„, Myhairstyle,”Drewopens the hand of Erichastily.
“啊,我的发型,”德鲁连忙打开艾瑞克的手。„Small girlfilm, wantsanyhairstyle.”( to be continued )
“小丫头片子,要什么发型啊。”(未完待续)
