readx \; readx\; The «The Mask» first weeks have then attained 3 more than 7 million USD Box Office, go far beyond it less than three surely USD production costs, total Box Office broken hundred million almost do not have any suspense. 《变相怪杰》首周便拿到了3700多万美元的票房,远远超过其不足三千万美元的制作成本,总票房破亿几乎没有任何悬念。 Compared only shows a movie also to attain in the summer files less than surely USD Box Office Metro Goldwyn Mayer, the ideas and coveting of TG's this result definitely once more many person, after all, even if disagreed decline Metro Goldwyn Mayer that looked awful completely compared, TG in 1992 summer the Box Office report card of files also compared with Paramount, Universal and Fox bright eye many. 相比于暑期档只上映了一部电影并且拿到了不足一千万美元票房的米高梅,tg的这份成绩肯定会再次很多人的主意和觊觎,毕竟,哪怕不和已经破落的完全不成样子的米高梅比,tg在1992年暑期档的票房成绩单也要比派拉蒙、环球和福克斯亮眼许多。 What Paramount the files are summer principal is Harrison Ford action movie «Patriot Game», but this movie has only attained 80 million Box Office, but Universal and Fox condition is similar, three big Film Studio summer the files do not have the Box Office broken hundred million movies, as for ‚filthy rich’ Sony Film Industry, although invited the Tom Cruise large sum of money to build «Running Out of Time: Prequel», because of all sorts of reasons, the total Box Office stop motion of this movie on about 80 million seats, will has also been the estimated cost of movie, the influence that the unfavorable situation of North America native place Box Office market brought is often a series, because of «Running Out of Time: Prequel» Box Office It is not ideal, overseas Box Office and peripheral copyright will sell will be greatly affected, this project will be Sony Film Industry will bring the large amount loss once more. 派拉蒙暑期档主打的是哈里森.福特的动作片《爱国者游戏》,但这部电影只拿到了80000000的票房,而环球和福克斯的境况都差不多,三大电影公司暑期档都没有票房破亿的电影,至于‘财大气粗’的索尼影业,虽然邀请汤姆.克鲁斯重金打造了《暗战前传》,但因为种种原因,这部电影的总票房也停格在了80000000左右的位子上,堪堪达到电影的预算成本,北美本土票房市场的失利带来的影响往往是一连串的,,因为《暗战前传》的票房不理想,海外票房和周边版权售卖都会受到很大的影响,这个项目将再次为索尼影业带来巨额的亏损。 «The Mask» screens for one week later, Disney's «Sister Act» stepped on the tail of summer files to mount the North America more than 2100 theaters, screening of this comedy movie, almost also announced the conclusion of summer files, the movie that afterward showed basically was Film Studio does not regard as important, but wants to place the movie that summer end of the files tried one's luck, in these movies presented the probability of dark horse to be very small. 《变相怪杰》上映一周之后,迪斯尼的《修女也疯狂》踩着暑期档的尾巴登上了北美2100多家影院,这部喜剧片的上映,差不多也宣告了暑期档的结束,随后上映的电影基本上都是电影公司不太看重但又想放在暑期档末尾碰碰运气的影片,这些电影中出现黑马的几率很小。 Without a doubt, «Twister» has become the biggest winner of entire summer files, it is expected that 300 million USD total Box Office adds on afterward «The Mask», Firefly summer the Box Office total amount of files will break through four hundred million USD, if counted Disney's several movies, calculates according to the North America current year Box Office total amount that was summer files, Box Office that Firefly Pictures attained broke through 10% of year Box Office total amount merely. If Firefly is a listed company, perhaps at this time the stock price rose a big truncation. 毫无疑问,《龙卷风》成了整个暑期档的最大赢家,预期三亿美元的总票房加上随后的《变相怪杰》,萤火虫暑期档的票房总额将突破四亿美元,如果算上迪斯尼的几部影片,那么,按照北美目前的年度票房总额来算,仅仅是一个暑期档,萤火虫影业拿到的票房就已经突破了年度票房总额的10%。如果萤火虫是一家上市公司的话,或许此时股价已经上涨了一大截。 However, when the sound of North America entertainment media discussion, Eric actually left Los Angeles. After participating in «The Mask» preview ceremony, he then quickly flies to the Hawaii archipelago. 不过,在北美娱乐媒体一片议论之声的时候,艾瑞克却已经离开了洛杉矶。参加完《变相怪杰》的首映式之后,他便很快飞往夏威夷群岛。 Because of the Jerry Bruckheimer splendid initial work, Eric arrives at Hawaii the time, the experiment base and Jurassic Park front door of Dr. Harder Meng, prevent dinosaur the electrical network and other background facilities to finish, simultaneously. Another two small motion picture teams also separately in the amber ore and California of Dominica red rock canyon national park shoots corresponding excavation amber and dinosaur archaeology scene. 因为杰瑞.布鲁克海默出色的前期工作,艾瑞克到达夏威夷的时候,哈德蒙博士的实验基地、侏罗纪公园大门、阻挡恐龙的电网等布景设施已经全部完工,同时。另外两个小型摄制组也分别在多米尼加的琥珀矿和加州的红岩峡谷国家公园拍摄相应的挖掘琥珀和恐龙考古场景。 „Eric, you look, is here,” Jerry Bruckheimer is pointing at a profound jungle channel: „On Kauai Island does not have that terrain that you need, here condition tallies absolutely, we will only need to spend day of time the corresponding equipment to ship to be able shoots.” “艾瑞克,你看,就是这里,”杰瑞.布鲁克海默指着一条幽深的密林通道:“考艾岛上没有你需要的那种地形,不过这里的条件绝对符合,我们只需要花一天时间将相应的器材运送过来就可以拍摄。” At this time, what their discussed is pursues the scene of jeep about that Tyrannosaurus Rex, because on Kauai Island does not have the convenient terrain, Jerry Bruckheimer then with belonging to Hawaii archipelago had found the corresponding scene in the Oahu of neighbor. 此时,两人正在讨论的是关于那场霸王龙追赶吉普车的镜头,因为考艾岛上没有便利的地形,杰瑞.布鲁克海默便在附近同属于夏威夷群岛的欧胡岛上找到了相应的场景。 „Chooses here words, definitely needs to make some transformations to the surrounding environment. Otherwise doesn't have means shoots, the Hawaii State authority will agree?” Eric looks at very primitive forest environment, the doubts asks at present. “选择这里的话,肯定需要对周围的环境进行一些改造。否则根本没办法拍摄,夏威夷州政府会同意吗？”艾瑞克看着眼前非常原始的森林环境,疑惑地问道。 „This point I already considered, they said do not have the issue,” Jerry Bruckheimer has shown an assured expression to Eric. “这一点我早就考虑到了,他们说没问题,”杰瑞.布鲁克海默对艾瑞克露出了一个笃定的表情。 Eric smiled, has not closely examined again, they boarded a jeep together, after the driver drives, Eric stretched oneself, although arrived at Hawaii yesterday. However, today he has run through all shoots locations with Jerry Bruckheimer, tomorrow must carry out some preliminary test shot work. 艾瑞克笑了笑,没有再追问下去,两人一起上了一辆吉普车,司机开车之后,艾瑞克伸了个懒腰,虽然昨天才到达夏威夷。不过,今天他就和杰瑞.布鲁克海默跑遍了所有拍摄场地,明天就要进行一些前期的试拍工作。 Manufactured shoots of movie greatly is similar to ancient times went to war, consumed the manpower and resources the matter. Therefore, Eric is impossible to extract too much time recuperation, several hundred people of manufacture teams the person eat horse Jiao every day are huge expenses, therefore Eric has to put into the work as soon as possible. 大制作电影的拍摄如同古时候打仗,都是非常消耗人力物力的事情。因此,艾瑞克根本不可能抽出太多时间休整,几百人的制作团队每天人吃马嚼都是一笔巨大的开销,因此艾瑞克不得不尽快投入工作。 After the jeep arrives at the Oahu wharf, they boarded a small yacht to return to Kauai Island, at this time is at dusk. A day of work is completed, is also relaxed, looks behind is appearing the exceptionally beautiful island under the setting sun, Jerry Bruckheimer said to Eric with a smile: „Perhaps Eric, you can attempt to buy an island to try.” 吉普车到达欧胡岛码头之后,两人登上了一艘小型游艇返回考艾岛,此时已经是傍晚时分。一天的工作完成,心情也放松下来,望着身后在夕阳下显得异常美丽的小岛,杰瑞.布鲁克海默笑着对艾瑞克道:“艾瑞克,或许你可以尝试买个小岛试试。” „Do you have the personal island?” Eric asked curiously, purchases the atmosphere in personal island to emerge now, but the Eric interest was not big. “你有私人小岛吗？”艾瑞克好奇地问道,购买私人小岛的风气现在已经兴起,不过艾瑞克却对此兴趣不大。 Jerry Bruckheimer shook the head, said: „Did not have, but I occasionally also will consider this matter.” 杰瑞.布鲁克海默摇了摇头,道:“还没有,不过我偶尔也会考虑这件事情。” Jerry Bruckheimer as became famous more than ten years of gold medal Producer, the net worth has been not the least bit off in a Hollywood star, therefore, purchases the private island not to have the economic aspect problem. 杰瑞.布鲁克海默作为已经成名了十多年的金牌制作人,身家丝毫不差于好莱坞的一线明星,因此,购买私人岛屿并不存在经济方面的问题。 „Actually I thought that buys the island not to be cost-effective, if approaches the land, that often cannot obtain to guarantee. To the land too far words, hangs the overseas this lofty one, then the infrastructure is a very major problem, only if not count the investment of cost, otherwise do not want to get up in the island is too easy and comfortable.” “其实我觉得买小岛一点也不划算,如果太靠近陆地,那往往得不到保证。离陆地太远的话,孤悬海外,那么基础设施又是一个很大的问题,除非不计成本的投入,否则别想在岛上过的太安逸。” Jerry Bruckheimer hears the Eric words, reveals the thinking slightly the look. 杰瑞.布鲁克海默听到艾瑞克的话,微微露出思索的神色。 Eric then said: „, Rather bought a mountain to be good. When the time comes brings at the foot of the hill that the friend is arriving at reaching to the sky, toward clouds one finger: Look, this mountain is my.” 艾瑞克接着说道:“如果是我的话,宁愿买座山好了。到时候带着朋友来到一座高耸入云的山脚下,往云端一指:看,这座山是我的。” Jerry Bruckheimer is imagining picture of Eric description, could not bear smile. 杰瑞.布鲁克海默想象着艾瑞克描绘的画面,忍不住笑了起来。 After the yacht is far away from Oahu gradually, Jerry Bruckheimer looked at the assistant on deck, signaled with the eyes toward Eric, they got inside in the cabin. 游艇渐渐远离欧胡岛之后,杰瑞.布鲁克海默看了看甲板上的助理,朝艾瑞克使了个眼色,两人钻进了船舱中。 „Should Eric, according to the Box Office trends of present several movies, Firefly Pictures in Box Office of this summer files be able over five hundred million USD?” “艾瑞克,按照现在几部电影的票房走势,萤火虫影业在这个暑期档的票房应该能超过五亿美金吧？” Eric knows that Jerry Bruckheimer will not mention this with no reason at all, nodded silently, under approaching the chair of window is implicated. 艾瑞克知道杰瑞.布鲁克海默不会无缘无故地说起这个,默默地点了点头,在靠近窗户的座椅旁坐下。 „I have looked at Firefly and Disney's movie screen the planning chart, at the end of the year the running schedule, Firefly will have «The Speed» and «Ace Ventura» as well as screens with the «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» three movies that Sony cooperates, Disney will again also promote an animated cartoon, animated cartoon Box Office is always stable, the Box Office digit that attains at the end of the year cannot compare summer files difference many, in addition in non- popular running schedule the Box Office accumulation of small manufacture movie. The Firefly Pictures this year's Box Office share likely surpasses Warner, achieves 30%.” “我看过萤火虫和迪斯尼的电影上映计划表,年底档期,萤火虫还会有《生死时速》、《神探飞机头》以及与索尼合作的《史密斯夫妇》三部电影上映,迪斯尼也会再推出一部动画片,动画片的票房一向非常稳定,那么,年底拿到的票房数字不会比暑期档差多少,再加上非热门档期中小制作电影的票房积累。萤火虫影业今年的票房份额很可能远超过华纳,达到30%。” Eric almost listened to some meanings in Jerry Bruckheimer words, asked with a smile: „Jerry, did some people make you help to convey a message?” 艾瑞克差不多已经听出了杰瑞.布鲁克海默话里的一些意思,笑着问道:“杰瑞,是不是有人让你帮忙传话了？” Jerry Bruckheimer nodded: „Paramount Mr. Martin Davis. You know that I have cooperated with Paramount before.” 杰瑞.布鲁克海默点了点头:“派拉蒙的马丁.戴维斯先生。你知道,我之前一直都与派拉蒙合作的。” „What does he want?” Asking that Eric spoke without reservation. “他想要什么？”艾瑞克直言不讳的问道。 Jerry Bruckheimer smiled, said: „If you agree, one side Mr. Davis will catch up to see with you personally, wants to discuss anything as for you. Was not matter that I cared about.” 杰瑞.布鲁克海默笑了笑,道:“如果你同意的话,戴维斯先生会亲自赶来跟你见一面,至于你们想要谈什么。就不是我关心的事情了。” „Good, I find time to telephone to Mr. Davis,” the Eric nod said. “好吧,我抽空会给戴维斯先生通个电话,”艾瑞克点头说道。 Jerry Bruckheimer just meaning was very obvious, the Firefly movie result too bright eye, will definitely trigger the reactions of several other Film Studio, but Martin Davis made Jerry Bruckheimer convey a message at this time, without doubt wanted to cooperate with Firefly, after all, can in the win-win situation, little person on own initiative choose hostilely. 杰瑞.布鲁克海默刚刚的意思很明显,萤火虫的电影成绩太亮眼,肯定会引起其他几家电影公司的反弹,而马丁.戴维斯这个时候让杰瑞.布鲁克海默代为传话,无疑是想要与萤火虫合作而已,毕竟,能够双赢的情况下,很少人会主动选择敌对的。 „Eric. To me, actually I thought that you can analyze from the Firefly system the Pixar animation studio and digital domain, establishes two companies separately.” “艾瑞克。就我个人而言,其实我觉得你可以把皮克斯动画工作室和数字领域从萤火虫体系内拆分出去,分别成立两家公司。” Eric shook the head with a smile: „Jerry, I concentrate to synthesize a whole Firefly with great difficulty, how possibly again on own initiative to open the hands and feet?” 艾瑞克笑着摇了摇头:“杰瑞,我好不容易将萤火虫凝合成一个整体,怎么可能再主动将手脚拆下来？” Jerry Bruckheimer has gawked, as if thought some truth that Eric said that actually felt where does not suit. 杰瑞.布鲁克海默愣了下,似乎觉得艾瑞克说的有些道理,却又感觉什么地方不是太对劲儿。 „Rises together simultaneously to start from two 30 age outstanding heroes, Hollywood has been used to six big, seven big or eight big patterns, but does not mean that this should be the Hollywood habit. In America, can general single hegemony. Bell can single hegemony, Exxon Mobil be able single hegemony, including to establish to have 30 year Walmart to be able single hegemony, such being the case. Why can't Hollywood single hegemony?” “从二三十年代群雄并起开始,好莱坞已经习惯了六大、七大或者八大的格局,但并不意味着这就应该是好莱坞的常态。在美利坚,通用可以一家独大。贝尔可以一家独大,埃森克美孚可以一家独大,连才成立只有三十年的沃尔玛都可以一家独大,既然如此。好莱坞为什么就不能一家独大呢？” Jerry Bruckheimer hears this saying, felt faintly slight crashing, he entered Hollywood from the early 70's, had nearly 20 years to the present, unknowingly also the condition that was used to Hollywood several in a big way to coexist. However, the Eric words make Jerry Bruckheimer realize. Originally this rule is not cannot break. 杰瑞.布鲁克海默听到这话,隐隐感觉到一阵轻微的碎裂声,他从七十年代初就进入好莱坞,到现在已经有将近20年时间,不知不觉中也习惯了好莱坞几大并存的状态。不过,艾瑞克的话却让杰瑞.布鲁克海默意识到。原来这种规则并不是不能打破的。 „Eric, why that does Hollywood maintain the pattern that this type several big coexist?” Jerry Bruckheimer cannot bear ask. “艾瑞克,那好莱坞为什么会一直保持这种几大并存的格局呢？”杰瑞.布鲁克海默忍不住问道。 Eric thinks that said: „Probably is because the achievement fluctuates, the movie is different from other professions, for example Walmart, they formulated one to be in the lead in the sale on commission system of colleague, therefore has dominated entire United States in short 30 year, in Walmart held in the situation in market, even if other matches imitated the Walmart pattern completely, was impossible to reach the Walmart scale again. But Film Studio is different, weighs a Film Studio strength, eventually is movie Box Office, but movie Box Office this thing is unstablest, perhaps Film Studio will relate to produce many sale movies in some time, takes over control of Paramount that several years like Barry Diller, because of all kinds of reasons, that situation will not be definitely lasting, but other Film Studio have not been idling, perhaps also meets the non- tense to make the high Box Office movie, like this frequents each other, on being hard to achieve the single hegemony situation.” 艾瑞克想了想,说道:“大概是因为业绩起伏吧,电影不同于其他行业,比如沃尔玛,他们制定了一个领先于同行的经销体系,于是在短短三十年时间就称霸了整个美国,在沃尔玛已经占有了市场的情况下,其他对手哪怕是完全模仿沃尔玛的模式,也不可能再达到沃尔玛的规模。但电影公司不一样,衡量一家电影公司实力的,终究是电影票房,而电影票房这东西却是最不稳定的,或许一家电影公司会在某段时间内联系制作出多部热卖电影,就像巴里.迪勒接管派拉蒙那几年一样,但因为各种各样的原因,那种情形肯定不会持久,而其他电影公司也没有闲着,或许也会不时制作出高票房电影,这样你来我往,也就难以达到一家独大的情况。” Said these, Eric smiled self-confidently, said: „In Firefly, this situation will definitely continue, therefore, one day, I will make them be familiar with certain matters.” 说完这些,艾瑞克自信地笑了笑,道:“不过在萤火虫,这种情况肯定会持续下去的,所以,总有一天,我会让他们习惯某些事情。” Jerry Bruckheimer smiled, has not actually echoed the Eric words, since other Film Studio achievements will present fluctuating, Firefly possibly won't appear? 杰瑞.布鲁克海默跟着笑了笑,却没有附和艾瑞克的话,既然其他电影公司业绩会出现起伏,萤火虫怎么可能会不出现？ ...... …… Eric has not cared through the words that Jerry Bruckheimer brings Paramount Martin Davis, Firefly has developed to a quite stable mentality now, this kind of Film Studio, definitely is unable to be defeated by these dishonest ways, wants to defeat Film Studio, then can only speak by the movie. But if compared with the movie, Eric self-confident Hollywood that Film Studio has not had this strength. 艾瑞克并没有将派拉蒙的马丁.戴维斯通过杰瑞.布鲁克海默带来的话太放在心上,萤火虫现在已经发展到一个相当稳定的心态,这样一家电影公司,靠那些歪门邪道肯定是无法打败的,想要击败一家电影公司,那么只能靠电影来说话。但如果比电影的话,艾瑞克自信好莱坞没有那家电影公司有这个实力。 However, he has not disregarded conveying a message of Martin Davis, that night, Eric then gave in Los Angeles Martin Davis telephoned, agreement both sides find time to chat, as for can achieve the cooperation, but must look at the Paramount sincerity. Eric knows, in Metro Goldwyn Mayer was disregarded, Disney by the Firefly annexation as well as Universal and Columbia by the situation that in the Japan financial group purchases, the bystander wants to involve Hollywood, now the only choice purchases Paramount. 不过,他也没有无视马丁.戴维斯的传话,当天晚上,艾瑞克便给远在洛杉矶的马丁.戴维斯通了电话,约定双方抽空聊一聊,至于能不能达成合作,还要看派拉蒙的诚意。艾瑞克知道,在米高梅被无视、迪斯尼被萤火虫吞并以及环球和哥伦比亚都被日本财团收购的情况下,外人想要介入好莱坞,现在唯一的选择就是收购派拉蒙。 Before memory as well as some acquired materials, Viacom Redstone, in competes after Eric Disney is defeated, directly the attention distracts on Paramount, but Barry Diller left Fox, oneself started an undertaking some time, hit to return to the Hollywood thoughts quickly, united several companies, started to test the Paramount shareholder. 根据记忆以及之前收集到的一些资料,维亚康姆的雷石东在与艾瑞克竞争迪斯尼失败之后,直接就将目标转移到了派拉蒙身上,而巴里.迪勒离开了福克斯,自己创业了一段时间,也很快打起了重返好莱坞的心思,联合几家公司,开始试探派拉蒙的股东。 Although Paramount these years achievement was not too splendid, but had this kind of shell, only then can draw to the high-quality movie project, Paramount momentarily possibly once more rose, therefore Martin Davis absolutely did not have many sell Paramount thoughts. 虽然派拉蒙这几年的业绩并不是太出色,不过拥有这样一个壳子在,只有能够拉到优质的电影项目,派拉蒙随时都可能再次崛起,因此马丁.戴维斯根本就没有多少出售派拉蒙的心思。 But what is helpless, Paramount is a listed company, although Martin Davis is the biggest shareholder in company, but, if other Film Studio adopt the way of malicious purchase to annex Paramount, in the Paramount achievement bad situation, other shareholders will possibly agree that buying at a high price of opposite party, the choice carries the leverage. 但无奈的是,派拉蒙是一家上市公司,虽然马丁.戴维斯是公司的最大股东,不过,如果其他电影公司采取恶意收购的方式吞并派拉蒙的话,在派拉蒙业绩不良的情况下,其他公司股东很可能会同意对方的高价收购,选择端起套现。 It is estimated that this is Martin Davis suddenly will also relate the Eric reason, when Japanese purchases Columbia and Universal, two Film Studio both have the short cooperation with Firefly, and has made the good progress, although the final two companies sold out, made Japanese spend many USD. 估计这也是马丁.戴维斯突然会联系艾瑞克的原因,在日本人收购哥伦比亚和环球的时候,两家电影公司都与萤火虫有过短暂的合作,并且取得了不错的效果,虽然最后两家公司都被卖掉,却让日本人多花了不少美金。 But the Martin Davis thoughts are very clear, he wants to promote the Paramount achievement to prevent other shareholders to choose to sell this company. Opens in Eastern European Film market gradually, the North America every year Box Office total amount in the growing situation, Martin Davis does not want to sell the Paramount thoughts is very good to understand, but, the matter often does not take the wills of certain people as the standard.( To be continued.) 而马丁.戴维斯的心思很明确,他只是想要提升派拉蒙的业绩阻止其他股东选择出售这家公司。在东欧电影市场逐渐开放,北美每年的票房总额又持续增长的情况下,马丁.戴维斯不想出售派拉蒙的心思也很好理解,只不过,事情往往并不是以某些人的意志为标准的。(未完待续。) ... ...
