15000000是目前好莱坞明星的片酬极限了,能拿到这个片酬数字的明星并不是太多,而且,一般情况下,都是那些财大气粗的外国投资人盲目地开出的片酬价格,比如当初阿诺.施瓦辛格、史泰龙等人的片酬,便是以德国投资人为首的欧洲电影投资者抬起来的,因为这几位动作明星在欧洲具有非凡的名气和票房号召力,除此之外,掌握了哥伦比亚和环球的日本财团,对明星片酬的开价也越来越大胆,好莱坞本土势力对这种‘盲目抬价’的行为简直深恶痛绝,却无力阻止这种潮流。„15 millionwere too higher, heis unworthythese many, although«The Mask»Box Officeis good, butthismovieshouldbe an exception, althoughJim Carreyothermovieshave the overseasBox Officerallying pointas before, actuallyabsolutelycannot achieve the overseasis the nativeBox Officetwotimes of degrees, therefore after waits for«Ace Ventura»screens, againdiscussed that youcannotplaceon a Jim Carreypersonallenergy.”
“15000000太高了一些,他不值这么多,虽然《变相怪杰》的票房不错,不过这部电影应该是个例外,金.凯瑞的其他电影虽然依旧拥有海外票房号召力,却绝对达不到海外是本土票房两倍的程度,所以还是等《神探飞机头》上映之后再谈吧,你们也不能将所有的精力都放在金.凯瑞一个人身上。”Drewnodded, agrees saying: „Un, Ialsothink that hehas signed the optioncontractin any case, somepeoplewill not buy freedomforhimabsolutely, saidagain, wehave not treated unjustlyhim, ifhedoes not know good from bad, thatat the same timewent.”德鲁点了点头,同意道:“嗯,我也是这么想的,反正他签了选择权合约,又绝对不会有人替他赎身,再说了,我们也没有亏待他,如果他不知好歹的话,那就一边去好了。”Thatoptioncontract of Jim Carreysignatureis interesting, the 100 millionUSDviolationcompensatory payment, regardingotherbigFilm Studio, withis not the difficult matter, byBox Officerallying point that Jim Carreydisplays. The firsttwomovies that heandTGcooperate, earnedfor the companyhave surpassed the 100 millionUSDprofit.金.凯瑞签署的那份选择权合约非常有意思,一亿美元的违约补偿金,对于其他大制片厂来说,拿出来并不是什么难事,以金.凯瑞表现出来的票房号召力。他与tg合作的前两部电影,都为公司赚取了超过一亿美元的利润。However, issue that here is very difficultto solve. IfotherFilm Studiohave a liking for the Jim CarreyBox Officerallying point, wantsto buy freedomforhim, then after buying freedom, othersput out100 millionUSD, Jim Carrey have almost had no alternative, certainlymustsign the optioncontractwithgold/metalZhuonce more, togainthis100 millionUSDindemnity. The condition of optioncontractwill definitely not comparemore favorablemany that TGgives, otherwise. TheseFilm Studioshareholderswill not comply, so long as the Jim Carreybrainhas not gotten sick, will not choosethisroad.
不过,这里却有一个很难解决的问题。如果其他电影公司看上金.凯瑞的票房号召力,想要替他赎身,那么赎身之后,别人都拿出了一亿美元,金.凯瑞几乎别无选择,肯定要再次与金主签署选择权合约,而且为了赚回这一亿美元的赔偿金。选择权合约的条件肯定不会比tg给出的更优厚多少,不然的话。连那些电影公司的股东都不会答应,只要金.凯瑞脑子没病,就不会选择这条路。Drewsaid here matters, startsthat side the curiousinquiryEricFrancesituation.

第二天,天光微亮,艾瑞克便醒了过来,轻轻挪开缠在自己身上的小妮子,艾瑞克轻手轻脚地穿衣下楼,离开了洛杉矶几个月时间,又到处乱跑。艾瑞克的生物钟变得有些乱,看了看表,才早上5.40。比以往起床早了一些。Early morningran for a halfhourin the manor, Ericreturned to the villa, the completionbreakfastleisurely, wassmall girlkeptone, thenstartedto look that newspaperhas then eaten.
在庄园里晨跑了半个小时,艾瑞克才回到别墅,慢条斯理的做好早餐,为小妮子留了一份,便开始边看报纸便吃了起来。Manynewspaperentertainmentpage layouts, are paying attention toViacomandQVCas beforecompete the latest progress of Paramountthismatter.

很多报纸的娱乐版面,依旧在关注维亚康姆与qvc竞争派拉蒙这件事的最新进展。马丁.戴维斯估计也感受到自己很可能保不住派拉蒙,又不想让这家公司落到自己原本的下属手里。于是在九月初的时候,与维亚康姆签署了一份股权优先转让协议,不过,qvc随即就向联邦交易委员会提交文件,起诉派拉蒙和维亚康姆签署的相关合约违反联邦的交易法,双方这个月一直在扯皮这件事。Turnedseveralnewspaper, Ericsaw another matter of being interestedquickly, aboutsevenbigMetro Goldwyn Mayer, gambling citybig shotKirk Kerkorianaftersold out the Metro Goldwyn Mayerpropertyproperty, startedto take the chipat the Metro Goldwyn Mayerintangible asset, played the capitalgame, twoyears ago, Kirk Kerkorianhad sold to the Italyfinancial groupMetro Goldwyn Mayerheaded byGiancarlo Parretti, has gained a bigfundonce more, butGiancarlowas accusedin the fraudulent meansrecently, frominvesting the personhandswindled the fundto win the Metro Goldwyn Mayerdomination, from the analysis of article, the possibility that Giancarlo Parrettilost a lawsuitis high.
翻了几张报纸,艾瑞克很快又看到了另外一件感兴趣的事情,关于七大之一的米高梅的,赌城大亨科克.科克里安在将米高梅的物业资产卖光之后,又开始以米高梅的无形资产作为筹码,玩起了资本游戏,两年前,科克.科克里安将米高梅卖给了以吉安卡洛.帕瑞迪为首的意大利财团,再次赚了一大笔资金,不过最近吉安卡洛被控以欺诈手段,从投资人手中骗取资金获得米高梅的控制权,从文章的分析中来看,吉安卡洛.帕瑞迪败诉的可能性非常高。OnceGiancarlolost a lawsuit, torepayhad been deceivedbyGiancarlo the creditor, Metro Goldwyn Mayerwill be auctionedby the bank.
一旦吉安卡洛败诉,为了偿还被吉安卡洛欺骗了的债权人,米高梅将被银行拍卖。Ericstared atthisreportto ponder the moment, the decisionstood by, although the Metro Goldwyn Mayerthis year'sachievementis horrible to look, butcamel of skinnywas big, tookMetro Goldwyn Mayerno doubt to make the Firefly Picturesdatabaseat leastexpandonetime, butwantedto annexthiscompanycompletely, definitelywill exhaustin the handallfloating capital, thiswas not a cost-effectivematter, after all, a more valuableopportunitywas waiting for itselfmuch.艾瑞克盯着这篇报道思考了片刻,还是决定作壁上观,虽然米高梅今年的业绩惨不忍睹,但瘦死的骆驼比马大,拿下米高梅固然能够让萤火虫影业的片库至少扩充一倍,但想要完全吞并这家公司,肯定会耗尽手里所有的流动资金,这并不是一件划算的事情,毕竟,还有更多更有价值的机会等着自己。Has the breakfast, Ericsharplyhas not been going to the company, was readingnewspaperas beforeleisurely.
吃过早餐,艾瑞克并没有急着去公司,依旧慢条斯理地读着报纸。Hears the dingsto remember, Ericsets outto walktoward the living room.
听到门铃声想起,艾瑞克才起身向客厅走去。In the Tina Feyhandis holdingonepack of materials, the bodywears the neatblackolcoverall, is bringing the symbolicblack frameeye, steps onLittletall with standinout of the doorslimly and gracefully.蒂娜.菲手中抱着一叠资料,身上穿着整齐黑色ol套装,带着标志性的黑框眼睛,踩着小高跟亭亭玉立地站在门外。„, Tina,”Ericsomewhatis early accidental: „Soto be how early?”
“早啊,蒂娜,”艾瑞克有些意外:“怎么这么早过来?”Tina FeyseesEric, does not know that has thought ofanything, some not goodword usageto be hanging the head, hintedstarted the material: „Drewsaid that todaydoes not go tocompany, makingmebring the materiallookshere.”蒂娜.菲看到艾瑞克,不知道想到了什么,有些不好用词地微垂着脑袋,示意了下手中的资料:“德鲁说今天不去公司了,让我把材料拿过来在这里看。”Ericbeing sidewaysmakes the girlcome, said: „Thatdoes not usesuchearly, nowjusteighto'clock.”艾瑞克侧身让女郎进来,道:“那也不用这么早吧,现在才刚刚八点钟。”„I...... Ido not have the matterto do,”Tina Feyslow of speechreplied, seemed somewhat awkward.
“我……我也没有事情做,”蒂娜.菲讷讷的回答道,似乎有些尴尬。Erichad also realized the mood of girl, has not closely examinedagain, bringingTinato enter the dining roomtogether: „Youhad the breakfast, have Idone?”艾瑞克也意识到了女郎的情绪,并没有再追问,带着蒂娜一起走进了餐厅:“你吃早餐了吗,我做了一些?”„Did not have,”Tina Feyrepliedin a low voice, has placedon the document in hand the dinner table, looks atEricto move toward the kitchen, back that looked at the man, thisrememberedanythingto resemble, followedhurriedly: „Icome.”
“还没有,”蒂娜.菲低声回答道,将手中的文件放在了餐桌上,看着艾瑞克走向厨房,怔怔地望了望男人的背影,这才想起什么似的,急忙跟了过去:“我自己来吧。”„Good, in the refrigeratorhas the milk and fruit juice, youselect,”Erichad confessed that walkstoward the dining room.
“那好吧,冰箱里有牛奶和果汁,你自己挑,”艾瑞克交代了一句,向餐厅走去。Tina Feycarries a breakfastto walkto sit downin the Ericopposite, the catgeneralsmallmouthplaceis eating, oftenchattedseveralwithEric. Ericturnsnewspaper in hand. Unknowinglysaw that one side Tina Feyplaces the documentconveniently, asked: „Whattheseare, can Ihave a look?”蒂娜.菲端着一份早餐走过来在艾瑞克对面坐下,猫儿一般小口地吃着,不时与艾瑞克聊上几句。艾瑞克翻完手中的报纸。不经意看到蒂娜.菲随手放在一边的文件,问道:“这些是什么,我可以看看吗?”„Naturally. Issomescript, other,” the Tina Feynodsaid.
“当然。是一些剧本,还有其他的,”蒂娜.菲点头道。Ericopens the folder, someaccidentshave selectedunder the eyebrow, becausehesaw a familiarname, «Buffy the Vampire Slayer».艾瑞克将文件夹翻开,有些意外地挑了下眉,因为他看到了一个熟悉的名字,《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》。
After opening, Ericdiscovered. Thisunexpectedlyis a development plan of TV series, but. In the documentonly then56pages of longsimpleprograms, Erichad not looked atmany«Buffy the Vampire Slayer»TV series, thereforedoes not knowthisstoryprogram and originalTV seriesdisparity, but. He is actually very accidental, oneselfhave proposedonewithElizabeth, the girlcanthink ofthese, and has attainedTG the TV seriesreorganizationpower of thatmovie.
翻开之后,艾瑞克才发现。这竟然是一份电视剧的开发计划,不过。文件里只有一份56页长的简单大纲,艾瑞克本来就没有看过多少《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》的电视剧,因此也不知道这份故事大纲与原版电视剧的差距,不过。他倒是挺意外,自己只是与伊丽莎白提了一句,女郎就能想到这些,而且还把那部电影的电视剧改编权拿到了tg来。Thinksagainthatthismatter is also nottooaccidental, a peripheraldevelopmentvalue of movie, besidesrescreening, developmentsequel, develops the TV serieseditionprobably, but«Buffy the Vampire Slayer»Box Officeshouldnot be good. Therefore the sequelbasicallydid not need, rescreensdoes not havewhatvalue, thatonlyremainingdevelopedTV seriesedition.
再想想,这件事也并不是太意外,一部电影的周边开发价值,除了翻拍、开发续集外,大概就是开发电视剧版本了,而《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》票房应该不是太好。因此续集基本上也就没有必要,翻拍就更没有什么价值了,那就只剩下开发电视剧版本这一件。original«Buffy the Vampire Slayer»muststartto broadcastto97years. Nowhas shifted to an earlier time for fiveyears, in additionbasicallynomanyoriginalcanrefer, EricnotmythisTV serieswhethercanbe successful. However, in the mind the memoryclassicsbeautifulplay are also in any case many, Ericsaw that severalgirlswantto toss about«Buffy the Vampire Slayer», nottoomanyfeelings.原版的《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》要到97年才开始播出。现在提早了五年,再加上基本上没有的多少原版可以参照,艾瑞克也没有把我这部电视剧是否能够成功。不过,反正脑海里记忆的经典美剧也不少,艾瑞克看到几个女孩想要折腾《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》,也没有太多感触。Royal CourtTina Feyraised hand the document. Ericasked: „Do youplanto makeTV series?”
朝蒂娜.菲扬了扬手中的文件。艾瑞克问道:“你们打算做电视剧吗?”Tina Feynods, somewhataccidentalrhetorical question: „Isn't this comment that yougave?”蒂娜.菲点点头,又有些意外的反问道:“这不是你提出的意见吗?”„It is not. Iinitiallyspoke thoughtlessly, has not thought that Lizthinksherecame, how do youplanto do?”
“不是。我当初只是随口说了一句,没想到莉兹就想到这里来了,你们打算怎么做?”Tina Feystoppeddiningtemporarily, reorganizedunder the train of thought: „Wehave discussed that planned that reorganizes the singularly variedriskpiece of principalyoung peoplethismovie.”蒂娜.菲暂时停下了进餐,整理了下思绪道:“我们商量过了,打算将这部电影改编成主打青少年的奇幻冒险片。”Ericrecalled under the mind the memoryabout«Buffy the Vampire Slayer», the editiontrulyprincipalyoung peoplemarket that Sarah Michelle Gellaracts the leading role, then several mentalities of womennotwrong: „Thisideadoes not have the issue, butshould better notto be too anxious, spendssometimeonscript, the audiencehopesto see a goodstoryfinally, Ijustlooked atthisprogram, has not feltanythingspecially.”艾瑞克回忆了下脑海中关于《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》的记忆,莎拉.米歇尔.盖拉主演的版本确实主打青少年市场,那么几个女人的思路并没有错:“这个想法没问题,不过最好不要太急,多花一些时间在剧本上,观众最终还是希望看到一个好故事的,我刚刚看了这个大纲,并没有感觉什么特别的。”Tina Feyblushessuddenlylowered the head, becausethisprogramisshecompiles, heardEric saying that the girlcame undersomesmallattackunavoidably.蒂娜.菲突然脸红地低下头,因为这个大纲是她编写的,听到艾瑞克这么说,女郎心里难免受到了一些小打击。Ericsees the Tina Feyexpression, understoodimmediately: „Is thisstoryprogramyouwrites?”艾瑞克看到蒂娜.菲的表情,也立刻就明白了过来:“这份故事大纲是你写的?”„Un, Itriedto writeone.”
“嗯,我只是试着写了一份。”„Hehe, has not related, asyournovice, wrotesuchstoryisgood, laterpracticedwell, actuallyIhad a feeling, youbecomegoodscreenwriter.”Ericsmilesis encouragingto say.
“呵呵,没关系,以你的新手身份,写出这样的故事已经算是不错了,以后多练习一下就好,其实我本来就有一种感觉,你会成为一个不错的编剧。”艾瑞克微笑着鼓励道。„Thank you, Eric,”Tina Feyknows certainly that Eric is encouraging itself, somewhatgratefulin a low voicesaid.
“谢谢你,艾瑞克,”蒂娜.菲当然知道艾瑞克是在鼓励自己,有些感激地低声道。Alsoreads several other points of materials that Tina Feyhas broughtsimply, madesomeownsmallsuggestions, Ericthenset out saying: „Imustgo to work, Drew, etc., youfirstwill stay here, just, east the curtain walltherehasfax machine, ifthere is a documentto come, youhelpmereceiveto reorganize.”
又简单的看了看蒂娜.菲带来的其他几分材料,提了一些自己的小建议,艾瑞克便起身道:“我要去上班了,德鲁等下就会起来,你先留在这里吧,刚好,幕墙东边那里有一台传真机,如果有文件过来,你帮我接收整理一下。”Tina Feynodshastily: „ Does not have the issue. " 蒂娜.菲连忙点头:“没问题。"SeesEricto go out of the dining room, Tina Feyputs down the tableware in handsubconsciously, followed.
看到艾瑞克走出餐厅,蒂娜.菲下意识放下手中的餐具,也跟了出来。Ericreturned to the study roomto takesomedocuments, changed the clothes, left the villatime, saw that Tina Feyfollowedlike the homeconcubineinoneselfbehind, could not bearhold in the arms the girl, kissesinherlip angle: „Ihave gone to work, will youleavetoday?”艾瑞克回到书房取了一些文件,换好衣服,离开别墅的时候,看到蒂娜.菲一路像个居家小女人一样跟在自己身后,忍不住搂住女郎,在她唇角吻了吻:“我去上班了,你今天会离开吗?”Tina Feyhad not opposed that the kiss of Eric, hears the mansuchto ask, somewhatshylyshakes the head: „Does not have, no, cannot.”蒂娜.菲没有反对艾瑞克的亲吻,听到男人这么问,有些羞涩地摇头:“没,不,不会。”„, Thattonightremains.”
“呵,那今晚留下来吧。”„Good...... Good,”girlsoundsuch asmosquitoreplied.
“好……好啊,”女郎声如蚊讷地回答道。

即将进入十月份,离年底的节日档期只有不到不到两个月时间,萤火虫年底主打的几部电影《生死时速》、《神探飞机头》和迪斯尼的动画片《阿拉丁》基本上都已经完成,进入了前期的宣发阶段,而与哥伦比亚合作的《史密斯夫妇》也在最后的后期制作阶段。Returns to the Los Angelesrecent several days, after Ericparticipated inFirefly Picturesseveralhigh-level meetings, basicallyforseveralmoviesis bustling about, the proportion that although the directBox Officeprofit of movieaccounts forin the entiremovieindustry chainis getting more and more low, but the movieis in an important position of railway engineas before, ifhorsepower of railway engineinsufficientlystrong, thenthisgiantmachine operationdefinitelywill have the condition, therefore, anyFilm Studioplaceson the movie the most importantseatas before.
回到洛杉矶的最近几天,艾瑞克参与了萤火虫影业的几次高层会议之后,基本上都在为几部电影忙碌着,虽然电影的直接票房利润在整个电影产业链中所占的比重越来越低,但电影依旧是处于一个火车头的重要地位,如果火车头的马力不够强劲,那么这台巨大的机器运转肯定会出现状况,所以,任何一家电影公司依旧都将电影放在最重要的位子上。After«The Speed»scriptgivesJan de Bont, Ericthendoes not haveexcessivelyto meddlethisproject, «The Speed»scriptishewritespersonally, has giveninDirector in originalspace and time, in additionthisprojecttoJan de Bontwhethercanplay very vitalrolefrom the photographertoDirectorreforming, Ericbelieves that the opposite partyexceptionallywill be definitely prudenttothismovie.
从将《生死时速》的剧本交给简.德邦特之后,艾瑞克便没有过多地插手这个项目,《生死时速》的剧本是他亲自写出来的,又交给了原时空中的导演手里,再加上这个项目对简.德邦特是否能够从摄影师向导演转型起到非常重要的作用,艾瑞克相信对方肯定会对这部电影异常慎重。
After participating in the preview of «The Speed», Ericthendid not have the anxiety , compared with the memory , the flavor of thismoviehas not changedmany, the storyrhythm is also quite compact, the actoras beforeisKeanu Reeves, changed playersbesidesHeroine, the toobigchange, after the Fireflyhigh levelhas not watched the preview of thismovie, has given the frontageappraisalconsistently, andhas started out the most magnificentannouncementscale.
参加完《生死时速》的试片之后,艾瑞克便更加没有了疑虑,与记忆中相比,这部电影的韵味并没有改变多少,故事节奏也相当紧凑,男主角依旧是基努.里维斯,除了女主角换了人之外,并没有太大的改变,萤火虫高层看过这部电影的样片之后,也一致给出了正面评价,并且开出了最华丽的宣发规模。In comparison, «Mr. & Mrs. Smith»hadsomesmallproblemsactually, John Wuafter allfromHong Kong, althoughhas produced many movies, but the shootsstylehas very bigdifferencewithHollywoodafter all, moreovera little, John Wuis the shootscomedy moviebuilds up, therefore, even ifhismanyclassicalgun battlepiece, in the contentfrequentlyhas doped many comedyelements, Ericwhilebustling about«Jurassic Park»late, has toparticipate in the «Mr. & Mrs. Smith»editingpersonally, althoughthismoviemanycomedyplots, butin the subjectisoneis having the gun battlepiececoat, discussed that the husband and wiferelates. Movie.
相比之下,《史密斯夫妇》倒是出现了一些小问题,约翰.吴毕竟是来自香港,虽然已经制作过很多部电影,但拍摄风格毕竟与好莱坞有很大的不同,而且还有一点,约翰.吴是拍摄喜剧片起家的,因此,哪怕他的很多经典枪战片,内容里都经常掺杂了过多的喜剧元素,艾瑞克在忙碌着《侏罗纪公园》后期的同时,不得不亲自参与《史密斯夫妇》剪辑,这部电影虽然不乏喜剧情节,但主题上还是一部披着枪战片外衣,讨论夫妻关系的。影片。However, a littleletsEricsatisfiedis, Hong Kong that John Wubringsacts the instructionteam, the movementdesign of «Mr. & Mrs. Smith»has the elegantstyle of EasternKungfu film, looks likeinEric, the movementdesign of thismoviehas even surpassed the originalstyle. After all, originalDirector, although is salutingtoHong Kongactingmovie, buteventuallyis the westerner, is impossibleto realize the intrinsicelement of Hong Kongmovieprofoundly. ( to be continued )
不过,有一点让艾瑞克满意地是,约翰.吴带来的香港动作指导团队,将《史密斯夫妇》的动作设计的非常具有东方功夫电影的飘逸风格,在艾瑞克看来,这部电影的动作设计甚至超过了原版的风格。毕竟,原版的导演虽然是在向香港动作电影致敬,但终究是西方人,不可能深刻体会到香港电影的内在元素。(未完待续)
