«Mr. & Mrs. Smith» invests six surely USD big manufacture movies as one, even has surpassed John Wu in the cost sum totals of Hong Kong 20 years of shoots all movies, therefore, Eric meddles the movie the final editing, not only has not made the John Wu feeling be affronted, even also feelings of feeling relieved, after all, total investments of six surely USD, after the conversion, close 500 million Hong Kong dollars, after John Wu takes over this movie, often remembers this digit, will have a cautious feeling, is good after Eric has watched the preview definitely his shoots achievement, John Wu several months disturbed dissipated finally some. 《史密斯夫妇》作为一部投资六千万美元的大制作电影,甚至超过了约翰.吴在香港20年拍摄所有电影的成本总和,因此,艾瑞克插手影片的最终剪辑,不但没有让约翰.吴感觉受到冒犯,甚至还有一种如释重负的感觉,毕竟,六千万美元的总投资,折算后接近500000000港币,约翰.吴接手这部电影后,每每想起这个数字,都会产生一种如履薄冰的感觉,好在艾瑞克看过样片之后肯定了他的拍摄成果,约翰.吴几个月的忐忑总算消散了一些。 Close to the rush hour, Tina Fey stops car(riage) in the Firefly cinema city parking lot, looked at the watch, carried to pack the satchel of document then in a hurry to walk toward the cinema city late production center, just went to out the production center, she then noticed that Eric chatted to walk from inside with an Asian male in a low voice. 临近下班时间,蒂娜.菲将车停在萤火虫影城的停车场,看了看手表,拎起装满了文件的挎包便匆匆向影城的后期制作中心走去,刚刚来到制作中心门外,她便看到艾瑞克与一个亚裔男性低声说笑着从里面走了出来。 Eric takes Alan to keep Paris, although he has oneself special assistant office in Firefly Headquarters, but has not actually chosen the temporary first assistant, because small girl completes «Ace Ventura» after TG did not have too multiplex as the reason, has pushed Tina Fey temporarily, Eric had not opposed that puts a familiar woman always to be more convenient than other people in the side. 艾瑞克把艾伦留在了巴黎,虽然他在萤火虫总部有自己专门的助理办公室,不过却没有从中挑选临时的第一助理,因为小妮子以tg完成《神探飞机头》之后已经没有了太多工作为理由,将蒂娜.菲临时推了过来,艾瑞克也没有反对,放一个熟悉的女人在身边总比其他人要方便一些。 Sees the Tina Fey form, Eric nodded toward her, chatted several with John Wu, walked toward the girl. Looks on the Tina Fey shoulder looks like as if the somewhat heavy satchel, Eric puts out a hand to meet. Was actually shunted by Tina Fey. 看到蒂娜.菲的身影,艾瑞克朝她点了点头,又与约翰.吴聊了几句,才向女郎走了过来。看着蒂娜.菲肩膀上看起来似乎有些沉重的挎包,艾瑞克伸手想要接过去。却被蒂娜.菲躲开了。 „Thank you, Eric, I come on the line.” Tina Fey shakes the head to say. “谢谢你,艾瑞克,我自己来就行。”蒂娜.菲摇头道。 Occasionally displays some strive to excel small details regarding the woman, Eric did not mind that said with a smile: „We go back, just got off work.” 对于女人偶尔表现出一些好强的小细节,艾瑞克也不介意,笑道:“那我们回去吧,刚好下班了。” They arrive at the parking lot again, Tina Fey just about to go to their car(riage), actually held on by Eric: „Placed here was good, tomorrow will open again. Just we can also discuss something on the vehicle.” 两人再次来到停车场,蒂娜.菲刚要去开自己的车,却被艾瑞克拉住:“放在这里好了,明天再开。刚好在车上我们还能谈一些事情。” This Tina Fey had not opposed again that nodded gently. Boarded the Eric private car together. 这次蒂娜.菲没有再反对,轻轻点了点头。跟着一起上了艾瑞克的座驾。 When the driver starts car, Tina Fey places on the satchel the knee, pulls out several folders: „Eric, Mr. Hansson...... Oh. Is New York Mr. Hansson Jr. in the afternoon to the document that you issue, the material about Marvel Entertainment Inc., he also called saying that must give you as soon as possible.” 等司机发动汽车,蒂娜.菲才将挎包放在膝盖上,从中掏出几份文件夹:“艾瑞克,汉森先生……哦。是纽约的小汉森先生下午给你发过来的文件,关于惊奇娱乐集团的资料,他还打电话过来说要尽快交给你。” Eric then understands why Tina Fey can this time catch up, puts out a hand to bring from a woman knee general several points of thick document. 艾瑞克这才明白蒂娜.菲为什么会这个时候赶过来,伸手从女人膝盖上将几分厚厚的文件拿过来。 Compares in Eric and Chris when New York refers to the simple information about Marvel Comics, this material is more exhaustive, related to Marvel Entertainment Inc. present managing situation, service structure, debt proportion as well as cartoon copyright and other aspects, even also the document specially introduced Marvel Entertainment Inc. and Ron Perelman the dispute of investment company. 相比于在纽约时艾瑞克与克里斯谈及关于惊奇漫画的简单信息,这份资料要详尽许多,涉及到了惊奇娱乐集团的经营现状、业务结构、负债比例以及漫画版权等方方面面,甚至还有一份文件专门介绍了惊奇娱乐集团与罗恩.佩雷尔曼的投资公司的纠葛。 Eric regarding the deviation in the economic aspect specialized information is only the glance, but will focus on Marvel Comics copyright and other materials. Under looks, Eric discovered that the actual material with remembers the information is widely divergent. He thought Marvel Comics in the late 90's, to solve the financial crisis sold to Hollywood several big Film Studio own popular cartoon role. However in fact, since the 80's. The surprise on has been selling cartoon role movie copyright. 艾瑞克对于偏向于经济方面的专业信息只是一览而过,而是将注意力放在了惊奇漫画的版权等资料上。一看之下,艾瑞克才发现实际资料与自己记忆中的信息大相径庭。他原本以为惊奇漫画是在九十年代中后期,为了解决财务危机才将自己的热门漫画角色卖给好莱坞几大电影公司的。不过实际上,从八十年代开始。惊奇就一直在出售漫画角色的电影版权。 The material in hand showed that currently the surprised sale cartoon role had the customer, «Fantastic Four» copyright in German Constantin Film, «Spider-Man» copyright in Carlock Film Studio, «Captain America» copyright of the 21 st century the Film Studio hand, «Hulk» copyright also in Eric has not heard in new world Film Studio hand. In other words, now Hollywood seven mostly are not interested in the surprised cartoon reorganization power. Popular role reorganization power basically in 23 Film Studio hands, but such as Iron Man Black Widow and so on two Superhero movie reorganization power, even is abegging. 手中的资料显示,目前惊奇的热卖漫画角色都有了买主,《神奇四侠》的版权在德国康斯坦丁影业手里,《蜘蛛侠》的版权在卡洛克电影公司手里,《美国队长》的版权在21世纪电影公司手中,《绿巨人》的版权也在艾瑞克没听说过的新世界电影公司手中。也就是说,现在好莱坞七大都对惊奇的漫画改编权不感兴趣。热门的角色改编权基本上在23线电影公司手中,而诸如钢铁侠黑寡妇之类的二线超级英雄的电影改编权,甚至无人问津。 Moreover, surprisedly with the copyright transfer agreement that these Film Studio sign, several big Film Studio with the agreement that sign is similar to the Eric memory, is within several years, if has not launched the work, copyright returns to the Marvel Comics hand automatically, but, these 23 Film Studio, although has bought copyright, changes the power of movie as if is also not too intense, after Constantine attains «Fantastic Four» copyright, has been putting aside, but that Film Studio high-level some day suddenly discovered when copyright that one buy will soon expire, the hot sharp fire singed to find the person to use less than one month not to concoct ultra. B level «Fantastic Four» of low cost, for continues copyright in hand. 而且,惊奇与这些电影公司签署的版权转让协议,与艾瑞克记忆中与几大电影公司签署的协议类似,都是几年之内如果没有推出作品,版权自动回到惊奇漫画手中,不过,这些23线电影公司虽然买下了版权,改变成电影的动力似乎也并不是太强烈,康斯坦丁拿到《神奇四侠》的版权之后就一直搁置着,但那家电影公司高层某一天突然发现自己花钱买来的版权即将到期时,火急火燎地找人用了不到一个月时间炮制出了一部超。低成本的b级《神奇四侠》,为的只是延续手中的版权。 Other have copyright Film Studio, after Warner promotes «Batman» attains to be successful greatly, in afterward two years follows to promote own Marvel Comics reorganization movie, but has not aroused any water splash. 其他拥有版权的电影公司,也都只是在华纳推出《蝙蝠侠》大获成功之后,在随后两年跟风地推出了自己的惊奇漫画改编电影,不过都没有激起任何水花。 Tina Fey sits side Eric peacefully, often secretly glances a man to read the profile of material earnestly, since several months ago after Drew joke saying those words, although Tina Fey has told itself do not indulge in flights of fancy, but actually cannot bear emit some at sixes and sevens thoughts at heart, after several months once more with Eric is together, does not have the means like before to be again completely at ease. 蒂娜.菲安静地坐在艾瑞克身边,不时偷偷瞟一眼男人认真阅读资料的侧脸,自从几个月前德鲁玩笑似的说出那句话之后,蒂娜.菲虽然一直告诉自己不要胡思乱想,但心里却总忍不住冒出一些乱七八糟的念头,时隔几个月再次与艾瑞克相处时,却怎么也没办法再像以前那样坦然自若。 When Drew she advances the Eric side, although tells itself 100 to reject the rejection, but unknowingly actually complied, from the bottom of the heart, although is not willing to acknowledge, but, she also always hopes to be able from the bottom of the heart with Eric multi- being together a while. 德鲁将她推到艾瑞克身边时,虽然告诉了自己100遍要拒绝啊拒绝啊,但不知不觉地却答应了下来,从心底来说,虽然不愿意承认,但从心底来说,她也总是希望能与艾瑞克多相处一会儿。 „Tina,” Eric reads a document, suddenly has turned head to open the mouth, just with Tina Fey is a thief the small look to, looks that the girl put aside the vision flurriedly, Eric cannot bear smile: „Hello, from saw you to start other day, I had thought that you become strange, exactly what happened?” “蒂娜,”艾瑞克看完一份文件,突然扭过头开口,刚好与蒂娜.菲做贼似的小眼神对上,看着女郎慌乱地移开目光,艾瑞克忍不住笑了起来:“喂,从上回见到你开始,我就一直觉得你变得怪怪的,到底发生了什么事情？” „Does not have, does not have anything,” Tina Fey denied hastily. “没,没什么,”蒂娜.菲连忙否认。 Eric thinks that the probe said: „What was Drew said to you?” 艾瑞克想了想,试探道:“是不是德鲁跟你说了什么？” „?” Tina Fey opened mouth, had not replied. “啊？”蒂娜.菲张了张嘴,却没有回答。 Eric shrugs, thinks one guessed right. Said: „Good, this is not the secret, told you not to relate. In any case, April of next year time, I must make Papa.” 艾瑞克耸耸肩,以为自己猜对了。说道:“好吧,这不是什么秘密,告诉你也没关系。反正,明年四月份的时候,我就要做爸爸了。” Hears these words, the Tina Fey pupil stares immediately in a big way: „When Papa, you...... Did you marry?” 听到这句话,蒂娜.菲眸子顿时瞪得大大的:“当爸爸,你……你结婚了？” „Naturally does not have,” Eric looked at the Tina Fey expression: „Originally you do not know.” “当然没有,”艾瑞克看了看蒂娜.菲的表情:“原来你不知道啊。” Tina Fey flood intense losing, actually nods at heart: „Drew. Drew has not told me this.” 蒂娜.菲心里泛起一丝强烈的失落,却还是点点头:“德鲁。德鲁没有告诉我这个。” Speech these words, in the compartment fell into the short silence. 说话这句话,车厢里陷入了短暂的沉默。 After a while. Tina Fey cautiously opens the mouth saying: „That, when the child was born, will you marry?” 过了一会儿。蒂娜.菲才小心翼翼地开口道:“那,等孩子出生了,你会结婚吗？” „no way,” Eric shakes the head: „I will try hard to be a good father.” “不会吧,”艾瑞克摇头:“不过我会努力做一个好父亲的。” Tina Fey suddenly does not know how should continue this topic. She came from a very conservative United States middle class family, the idea of infancy to maturity accepting makes her not have the means to approve the Eric procedure, but, she actually cannot live too many repugnance, perhaps in the subconscious of person, always to having the person of wealth and power and will influence be more tolerant in the social rule criterion. 蒂娜.菲一时间不知道该怎么继续这个话题。她出身一个非常保守的美国中产阶级家庭,从小到大接受的观念让她没办法认同艾瑞克的做法,但同时,她心里却也生不起太多的反感,或许人的潜意识里,总是对拥有财富和权势的人在社会规则尺度上会更加宽容。 „Did you look?” Tina Fey silent a while, has referred to the document in Eric hand. “你看完了？”蒂娜.菲沉默了一会儿,才又指了指艾瑞克手中的文件。 „Did not have, but looked, I go back to continue to look again. Oh, what I just want to say that tomorrow you will find time to help me collect the recording tapes of these movies. I plan to look.” Eric said that pulled out the material came out to give Tina Fey. “还没有,只是看了一些,我回去再继续看。哦,我刚刚想说的是,明天你抽空帮我收集一下这些电影的录像带。我打算看一下。”艾瑞克说完,将资料抽了出来递给蒂娜.菲。 Tina Fey puts out the memorandum fast to write down the movie name. 蒂娜.菲拿出备忘录飞快地将电影名字记了下来。 This small interlude as if such passed, but Eric discovered afterward when they were together the atmosphere to change another strange from one type strangely. 这段小插曲似乎就这么过去了,不过随后艾瑞克就发现,两人相处时的气氛从一种奇怪转向了另一种奇怪。 ...... …… Under the personal direction of Katzenberg, after experiencing one month of reorganization, after changing name to Disneyland Paris is once more open to the tourist. Because starts doing business less than the media influence that ten days suddenly close to bring, as well as Disney not mince apologized and carries on to the public vigorously the sincere stance of reform. Reopens within Disney short one week, the tourist quantity has fired into a peak once more, has been 700,000 people, although the ticket price as well as the Disney subject hotel moved in price and other prices to carry on the decline, but investigated after once more, the degree of satisfaction of tourist rose 70%, the degree of satisfaction of French tourist has achieved 85%, because Disneyland Paris not only has made the tendency of suitable scope in the content in the adjustment of French culture, even also French as the working language of Paris Disneyland staff. 在卡森伯格的亲自指挥下,经历了一个月的整改后,改名后的巴黎迪斯尼乐园再次向游客开放。因为开业不足十天就突然关闭带来的媒体影响力,以及迪斯尼毫不掩饰地向公众致歉并进行大力改革的诚恳姿态。重新开放的迪斯尼短短一周之内,游客数量再次冲向了一个高峰,达到了700000人次,虽然门票价格以及迪斯尼主题酒店入住价格等物价都进行了下调,但再次进行调查之后,游客的满意度已经上升到了70,其中法国游客的满意度更是达到了85,因为巴黎迪斯尼乐园不但在内容上做了相当幅度的倾向于法国文化的调整,甚至还将法语作为巴黎迪士尼乐园工作人员的工作语言。 Although after this starts doing business, because the average consumption quota of tourist the decline of price has not promoted, but the management is quite optimistic to this situation. Like a movie, an anticipated movie, if has attained high Box Office, actually ends up to turn out very disappointing reputation, then the sequel manufacture of this movie will be definitely difficult, otherwise, if a reputation full house of movie, even if on Box Office too has not gained, Film Studio will also crave in manufacturing the sequel. After reopening, obtained good appraisal Disneyland Paris in tourist there has looked like won the movie of good reputation, so long as obtained the good reputation, then the tourist will visit the Disneyland possibility considerably to increase once more. 虽然在此开业之后,游客的平均消费额度因为物价的下调并没有提升,但管理层却对这种情况相当乐观。就像一部电影一样,一部备受期待的电影如果只是拿到了高票房,却落得一个非常差劲的口碑,那么这部电影的续集制作肯定会非常艰难,反之,如果一部电影的口碑爆棚,即使票房上并没有太多盈利,电影公司也会非常热衷于制作续集。重新开放后,在游客那里获得了不错评价的巴黎迪斯尼乐园就像是一部赢得了不错口碑的电影,只要获得了了好名声,那么游客再次参观迪斯尼乐园的可能性将大大增加。 „If can maintain the present tendency, perhaps the situation in Paris Disneyland not like badness that we estimated that” Eric looks to return to Los Angeles Katzenberg to own another questionnaire result, such said. “如果能够保持现在的势头,或许巴黎迪士尼乐园的情况不会像我们原本预计的那么坏,”艾瑞克看着回到洛杉矶的卡森伯格给自己的另外一份调查问卷结果,这么说道。 „I also thought so that” one month has not seen, Katzenberg except for was thin, not the too big change: Promptness that „makes up for luckily, although closed entire one month to bring some unnecessary disbursement, but by the current situation, this loss fully is worth. At least, Disneyland Paris should be able to maintain the balanced revenues and expenditures this year. Although before , is optimistic to the estimate of this project, but a little actually yes right, that is the Europe potential tourist base number absolutely are more than Japan as well as the United States native place, I thought that biggest problem not like the Tokyo Disneyland, adapts local culture, so long as can achieve this point, wants to realize the profit people should not be the too major problem.” “我也是这么觉得,”一个月没见,卡森伯格除了更加精瘦了些,并没有太大的变化:“幸好弥补的及时,虽然关闭整整一个月时间带来了一些不必要的支出,不过以目前的情况来看,这笔损失完全是值得的。至少,今年巴黎迪斯尼乐园应该能够维持收支平衡。虽然之前对这个项目的预估过于乐观,但有一点却是没错,那就是欧洲的潜在游客基数绝对要比日本以及美国本土要多,我觉得最大的问题就是没有像东京迪士尼乐园那样,去适应当地的文化,只要能够做到这一点,想要实现盈利应该不是太大的问题。” „Was good, do not mention responsibility matter again, after all we know that the responsibility of this matter on your me,” Eric did not say with a smile. “好了,不要再提责任这件事了,毕竟我们都知道,这件事的责任并不在你我身上,”艾瑞克笑着说道。 Disneyland Paris is Michael Eisner controls personally, although at that time Katzenberg similarly was the Disney's management, but by the Michael Eisner disposition, Katzenberg was absolutely impossible to meddle this project, then presents such big careless mistake now, this was unjustly discredited accidentally do not buckle on Michael Eisner, moreover was not absolutely undeserved. 巴黎迪斯尼乐园是迈克尔.艾斯纳亲自掌控的,虽然当时卡森伯格同样是迪斯尼的高管,但以迈克尔.艾斯纳的性格,卡森伯格绝对不可能插手这个项目,那么现在出现这么大的纰漏,这个黑锅毫无意外地要扣在迈克尔.艾斯纳头上,而且绝对不冤枉。 Katzenberg has not pestered this topic, but said: „I later momentarily will watch also that side situation and make the prompt adjustment, a matter, the case of Giancarlo about Metro Goldwyn Mayer had lost a lawsuit, I just obtain the news in Paris, the fund important source of Giancarlo cheating is French Financial group, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock in Giancarlo hand is auctioned to repay the debt of investor in mid December by the Bank of France, I thought that this regarding Firefly, should be a good opportunity of expansion database.” 卡森伯格也没有纠缠这个话题,而是道:“我以后也会随时关注那边的情况并进行及时调整的,还有一件事情,吉安卡洛关于米高梅的案子败诉了,我在巴黎的时候刚好得到消息,吉安卡洛诈骗的资金主要来源是法国财团,吉安卡洛手中的米高梅股份将在十二月中旬被法国银行拍卖以偿还投资人的债务,我觉得这对于萤火虫来说,应该是一个扩充片库的好机会。” Eric shakes the head saying: „But this must spend very big sum of money, Jeffrey, I have also considered this matter, although after having attained the Metro Goldwyn Mayer database, the Firefly Pictures movie quantity will enhance over one time, but we have not transformed these movies as the strength of real economy benefit, we already do not have enough recording tape release resources, does not have own TV Station, but this is transforms the early movie as the practical interests most important two channels.” 艾瑞克摇头道:“但这要花很大一笔钱,杰弗瑞,我也考虑过这件事了,虽然拿到了米高梅片库之后,萤火虫影业的影片数量将提高一倍以上,但我们并没有将这些影片转化为实际经济利益的实力,我们既没有足够的录像带发行资源,也没有自己的电视台,而这是将早期的电影转化为实际利益最重要的两个渠道。” Katzenberg knows what Eric said is the truth, the obvious feeling somewhat was a pity, because this opportunity, if grasps, enough swallows the Metro Goldwyn Mayer database completely, but Metro Goldwyn Mayer at present the remaining most valuable things, were the 10,000 many movie and TV series that huge databases it accumulated. 卡森伯格知道艾瑞克说的是实情,明显感觉有些可惜,因为这次机会如果把握好的话,足够完全吞下米高梅的片库,而米高梅目前剩下最有价值的东西,便是它积累的一万多部电影和电视剧的庞大片库了。 Thinks of these, Katzenberg asked: „That, Eric, the next arrange should we consider to construct our TV Station?” 想到这些,卡森伯格问道:“那么,艾瑞克,下一布我们是不是应该考虑建设自己的电视台了？” Eric puts down that material in hand, set out for oneself and Katzenberg but actually two coffee, carried to sit down once more, said: „At least must wait till after next year . Moreover, if must purchase public TV Station, we must deal with the relations with Fox TV Network, perhaps, we must give up Fox TV Network that 10% stock, otherwise definitely will be traded the committee to look for trouble by the federation.” 艾瑞克放下手中的那份资料,起身为自己和卡森伯格倒了两杯咖啡,端过来再次坐下,才说道:“至少要等到明年之后吧,而且,如果要收购公共电视台的话,我们必须处理好与福克斯电视网的关系,或许,我们就得放弃福克斯电视网那10的股份了,否则肯定会被联邦交易委员会找麻烦的。” „Sounds, did you as if have the goal?” Katzenberg notes the Eric expression, asked curiously. “听起来,你似乎已经有目标了？”卡森伯格注意到艾瑞克的表情,好奇地问道。 Eric nodded with a smile: „But, after must wait for Viacom and QVC competes the Paramount result to draw a charge.” 艾瑞克笑着点了点头:“不过,要等维亚康姆与qvc竞争派拉蒙的结果出炉之后。” Katzenberg hears these words, almost also understood, said with a smile: „It seems like you do not favor Barry Diller to take Paramount.” ( to be continued ) 卡森伯格听到这句话,差不多也明白了过来,笑道:“看来你也不看好巴里.迪勒能够拿下派拉蒙。”(未完待续)
