15 million are the Hollywood Star salary limits at present, the star who can attain this salary digit is not too many . Moreover, generally, is the salary prices that these filthy rich foreign investors start out blindly, for example initially Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stallone and the others the salaries, then the Europe movie investor headed by German investor lifted, because these action stars have the extraordinary fame and Box Office rallying point in Europe, in addition, grasped Columbia and Universal Japan financial group, is also getting more and more bold to the initial price of star salary, the Hollywood native place influence the behavior abhors to this type ‚raises prices blindly’ simply, Is actually incapable of preventing this type of tidal current. 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 million were too higher, he is unworthy these many, although «The Mask» Box Office is good, but this movie should be an exception, although Jim Carrey other movies have the overseas Box Office rallying point as before, actually absolutely cannot achieve the overseas is the native Box Office two times of degrees, therefore after waits for «Ace Ventura» screens, again discussed that you cannot place on a Jim Carrey person all energy.” “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。” Drew nodded, agrees saying: „Un, I also think that he has signed the option contract in any case, some people will not buy freedom for him absolutely, said again, we have not treated unjustly him, if he does not know good from bad, that at the same time went.” 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。” That option contract of Jim Carrey signature is interesting, the 100 million USD violation compensatory payment, regarding other big Film Studio, with is not the difficult matter, by Box Office rallying point that Jim Carrey displays. The first two movies that he and TG cooperate, earned for the company have surpassed the 100 million USD profit. 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 difficult to solve. If other Film Studio have a liking for the Jim Carrey Box Office rallying point, wants to buy freedom for him, then after buying freedom, others put out 100 million USD, Jim Carrey have almost had no alternative, certainly must sign the option contract with gold/metal Zhu once more, to gain this 100 million USD indemnity. The condition of option contract will definitely not compare more favorable many that TG gives, otherwise. These Film Studio shareholders will not comply, so long as the Jim Carrey brain has not gotten sick, will not choose this road. 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。 Drew said here matters, starts that side the curious inquiry Eric France situation. Has had the supper, chatted to be very late, two talented people went to sleep. 德鲁说了一些自己这边的事情,又开始好奇的询问艾瑞克法国那边的情况。吃过晚餐,又聊到了很晚,两人才睡下。 ...... …… Next day, skylight micro bright, Eric then woke, moved out of the way to entangle gently in oneself small girl, Eric puts on clothes to go downstairs softly, left Los Angeles several months, ran around. The biological clock of Eric becomes somewhat chaotic, looked at the watch, in the morning 5.40. Got out of bed compared with the past early. 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 morning ran for a half hour in the manor, Eric returned to the villa, the completion breakfast leisurely, was small girl kept one, then started to look that newspaper has 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。 Many newspaper entertainment page layouts, are paying attention to Viacom and QVC as before compete the latest progress of Paramount this matter. Martin Davis estimated that also feels itself likely unable to preserve Paramount, does not want to make this company fall to oneself subordinate hand in originally. Therefore in early September, has signed a stockholder's rights first transfer agreement with Viacom, but, QVC trades the committee to submit the document to the federation immediately, sues Paramount and related contract of Viacom signature violates the federal the exchange law, both sides have been wrangling this month this matter. 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。 Turned several newspaper, Eric saw another matter of being interested quickly, about seven big Metro Goldwyn Mayer, gambling city big shot Kirk Kerkorian after sold out the Metro Goldwyn Mayer property property, started to take the chip at the Metro Goldwyn Mayer intangible asset, played the capital game, two years ago, Kirk Kerkorian had sold to the Italy financial group Metro Goldwyn Mayer headed by Giancarlo Parretti, has gained a big fund once more, but Giancarlo was accused in the fraudulent means recently, from investing the person hand swindled the fund to win the Metro Goldwyn Mayer domination, from the analysis of article, the possibility that Giancarlo Parretti lost a lawsuit is 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。 Once Giancarlo lost a lawsuit, to repay had been deceived by Giancarlo the creditor, Metro Goldwyn Mayer will be auctioned by 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。 Eric stared at this report to ponder the moment, the decision stood by, although the Metro Goldwyn Mayer this year's achievement is horrible to look, but camel of skinny was big, took Metro Goldwyn Mayer no doubt to make the Firefly Pictures database at least expand one time, but wanted to annex this company completely, definitely will exhaust in the hand all floating capital, this was not a cost-effective matter, after all, a more valuable opportunity was waiting for itself much. 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, Eric sharply has not been going to the company, was reading newspaper as before leisurely. 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 dings to remember, Eric sets out to walk toward the living room. 听到门铃声想起,艾瑞克才起身向客厅走去。 In the Tina Fey hand is holding one pack of materials, the body wears the neat black ol coverall, is bringing the symbolic black frame eye, steps on Little tall with stand in out of the door slimly 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,” Eric somewhat is early accidental: „So to be how early?” “早啊,蒂娜,”艾瑞克有些意外:“怎么这么早过来？” Tina Fey sees Eric, does not know that has thought of anything, some not good word usage to be hanging the head, hinted started the material: „Drew said that today does not go to company, making me bring the material looks here.” 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。” Eric being sideways makes the girl come, said: „That does not use such early, now just eight o'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...... I do not have the matter to do,” Tina Fey slow of speech replied, 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。 Eric had also realized the mood of girl, has not closely examined again, bringing Tina to enter the dining room together: „You had the breakfast, have I done?” 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 Fey replied in a low voice, has placed on the document in hand the dinner table, looks at Eric to move toward the kitchen, back that looked at the man, this remembered anything to resemble, followed hurriedly: „I come.” “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 refrigerator has the milk and fruit juice, you select,” Eric had confessed that walks toward 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 Fey carries a breakfast to walk to sit down in the Eric opposite, the cat general small mouth place is eating, often chatted several with Eric. Eric turns newspaper in hand. Unknowingly saw that one side Tina Fey places the document conveniently, asked: „What these are, can I have 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. Is some script, other,” the Tina Fey nod said. “当然。是一些剧本,还有其他的,”蒂娜.菲点头道。 Eric opens the folder, some accidents have selected under the eyebrow, because he saw a familiar name, «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, Eric discovered. This unexpectedly is a development plan of TV series, but. In the document only then 56 pages of long simple programs, Eric had not looked at many «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» TV series, therefore does not know this story program and original TV series disparity, but. He is actually very accidental, oneself have proposed one with Elizabeth, the girl can think of these, and has attained TG the TV series reorganization power of that movie. 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。 Thinks again that this matter is also not too accidental, a peripheral development value of movie, besides rescreening, development sequel, develops the TV series edition probably, but «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» Box Office should not be good. Therefore the sequel basically did not need, rescreens does not have what value, that only remaining developed TV series edition. 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» must start to broadcast to 97 years. Now has shifted to an earlier time for five years, in addition basically no many original can refer, Eric not my this TV series whether can be successful. However, in the mind the memory classics beautiful play are also in any case many, Eric saw that several girls want to toss about «Buffy the Vampire Slayer», not too many feelings. 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 Court Tina Fey raised hand the document. Eric asked: „Do you plan to make TV 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 Fey nods, somewhat accidental rhetorical question: „Isn't this comment that you gave?” 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. I initially spoke thoughtlessly, has not thought that Liz thinks here came, how do you plan to 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 Fey stopped dining temporarily, reorganized under the train of thought: „We have discussed that planned that reorganizes the singularly varied risk piece of principal young people this movie.” 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。” Eric recalled under the mind the memory about «Buffy the Vampire Slayer», the edition truly principal young people market that Sarah Michelle Gellar acts the leading role, then several mentalities of women not wrong: „This idea does not have the issue, but should better not to be too anxious, spends some time on script, the audience hopes to see a good story finally, I just looked at this program, has not felt anything specially.” 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 Fey blushes suddenly lowered the head, because this program is she compiles, heard Eric saying that the girl came under some small attack unavoidably. 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。 Eric sees the Tina Fey expression, understood immediately: „Is this story program you writes?” 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, I tried to write one.” “嗯,我只是试着写了一份。” „Hehe, has not related, as your novice, wrote such story is good, later practiced well, actually I had a feeling, you become good screenwriter.” Eric smiles is encouraging to 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 Fey knows certainly that Eric is encouraging itself, somewhat grateful in a low voice said. “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。 Also reads several other points of materials that Tina Fey has brought simply, made some own small suggestions, Eric then set out saying: „I must go to work, Drew, etc., you first will stay here, just, east the curtain wall there has fax machine, if there is a document to come, you help me receive to 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 Fey nods hastily: „ Does not have the issue. " 蒂娜.菲连忙点头:“没问题。" Sees Eric to go out of the dining room, Tina Fey puts down the tableware in hand subconsciously, 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。 Eric returned to the study room to take some documents, changed the clothes, left the villa time, saw that Tina Fey followed like the home concubine in oneself behind, could not bear hold in the arms the girl, kisses in her lip angle: „I have gone to work, will you leave today?” 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 Fey had not opposed that the kiss of Eric, hears the man such to ask, somewhat shyly shakes 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。” „, That tonight remains.” “呵,那今晚留下来吧。” „Good...... Good,” girl sound such as mosquito replied. “好……好啊,”女郎声如蚊讷地回答道。 ...... …… Soon since October, to the end of the year holiday running schedule less than two months, Firefly at the end of the year principal several movie «The Speed» and «Ace Ventura» and Disney's animated cartoon «Aladdin» basically has completed, was in the announcement stage of earlier period, but with «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» that Columbia cooperates also in final post production stage. 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 Angeles recent several days, after Eric participated in Firefly Pictures several high-level meetings, basically for several movies is bustling about, the proportion that although the direct Box Office profit of movie accounts for in the entire movie industry chain is getting more and more low, but the movie is in an important position of railway engine as before, if horsepower of railway engine insufficiently strong, then this giant machine operation definitely will have the condition, therefore, any Film Studio places on the movie the most important seat as 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» script gives Jan de Bont, Eric then does not have excessively to meddle this project, «The Speed» script is he writes personally, has given in Director in original space and time, in addition this project to Jan de Bont whether can play very vital role from the photographer to Director reforming, Eric believes that the opposite party exceptionally will be definitely prudent to this movie. 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», Eric then did not have the anxiety , compared with the memory , the flavor of this movie has not changed many, the story rhythm is also quite compact, the actor as before is Keanu Reeves, changed players besides Heroine, the too big change, after the Firefly high level has not watched the preview of this movie, has given the frontage appraisal consistently, and has started out the most magnificent announcement scale. 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» had some small problems actually, John Wu after all from Hong Kong, although has produced many movies, but the shoots style has very big difference with Hollywood after all, moreover a little, John Wu is the shoots comedy movie builds up, therefore, even if his many classical gun battle piece, in the content frequently has doped many comedy elements, Eric while bustling about «Jurassic Park» late, has to participate in the «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» editing personally, although this movie many comedy plots, but in the subject is one is having the gun battle piece coat, discussed that the husband and wife relates. 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 little lets Eric satisfied is, Hong Kong that John Wu brings acts the instruction team, the movement design of «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» has the elegant style of Eastern Kungfu film, looks like in Eric, the movement design of this movie has even surpassed the original style. After all, original Director, although is saluting to Hong Kong acting movie, but eventually is the westerner, is impossible to realize the intrinsic element of Hong Kong movie profoundly. ( 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)
