LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

Accompanied two woman one month in New York, close to the Christmas day, Eric returns to Los Angeles. As one year in most important a running schedule besides the summer files, the majority of movies of Christmas files these two weeks screened on December 18 and on December 25 one after another. 在纽约陪了两个女人一个月时间,临近圣诞节,艾瑞克才返回洛杉矶。作为一年中除了暑期档之外最重要的一个档期,圣诞档的大部分影片将在12月18日和12月25日这两周陆续上映。 Firefly also arranged in 1992 final «Ace Ventura» on December 18, because Jim Carrey and TG have had no meeting of minds in the next movie salary, in early December, Jim Carrey publicized again to the entertainment media expresses to ‚is deceived’ signs that option contract the strong indignation, meanwhile expressed that did not plan to participate in «Ace Ventura» preview ceremony. 萤火虫在1992年度最后的一部《神探飞机头》也安排在12月18日,因为金.凯瑞和tg在下一部电影片酬上一直谈不拢,在12月初,金.凯瑞再一次公开向娱乐媒体表达了对‘被骗’签署那份选择权合约的强烈愤慨,同时还表示不打算参加《神探飞机头》的首映式。 The «Ace Ventura» first showing couple days ago, after the long-term crosscut saw -type negotiations, TG signed the contract of another movie with Jim Carrey by the 11 million USD salary finally once more, made the audience see the Jim Carrey form in December 17 preview ceremony. 《神探飞机头》首映前几天,经过长时间拉锯式的谈判,tg终于与金.凯瑞再次以1100万美元的片酬签下又一部电影的合约,同时也让观众在12月17日的首映式上看到了金.凯瑞的身影。 Hollywood Star meets the low price even free to play frequently to its has appreciation for being recognized Director or the Producer movie, but actually often with excavating their Film Studio is in sharp opposition, makes in salary is heavily engaged, this almost became Hollywood one routine trend, Eric also becomes accustomed. 好莱坞明星经常会低价甚至免费出演对其有知遇之恩的导演或者制作人的电影,但却往往与发掘他们的电影公司针锋相对,在片酬方面闹得不可开交,这几乎已经成为了好莱坞的一种习惯性趋势,艾瑞克对此也习以为常。 Except for «Ace Ventura», Warner 《The Bodyguard》 and Columbia and «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» of Firefly Disney Film Industry together manufacture massively is also shown to the public on the same day. 除了《神探飞机头》,华纳的《保镖》和哥伦比亚与萤火虫旗下迪斯尼影业共同制作的《史密斯夫妇》也在同一天大规模公映。 Eric has not participated in «Ace Ventura» preview ceremony, actually in Peter Guber clings to for dear life plays a drawn game under rottenly the soft and gentle words request of Nicole, finally attended «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» preview ceremony. 艾瑞克并没有参加《神探飞机头》的首映式,却在彼得.古柏死缠烂打和妮可的软语请求之下,最终出席了《史密斯夫妇》的首映式。 According to the initial agreement, five movies that Firefly and Columbia cooperated, the North America native place distribution rights turns over to Columbia. But the overseas release is responsible for by Firefly, the influence that this agreement naturally to cover Eric and Peter Guber achieves that agreement that brings in private, the Columbia overseas distribution network was scattered about at this time, if carries on the overseas to distribute by Columbia, «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» overseas Box Office even possible, only then it is expected that half. 根据当初的协议,萤火虫与哥伦比亚合作的五部影片,北美本土发行权归哥伦比亚。而海外发行由萤火虫负责,这份协议自然是为了掩盖艾瑞克与彼得.古柏私下达成的那份协议带来的影响,哥伦比亚的海外发行网络此时已经七零八落,如果由哥伦比亚进行海外发行的话,《史密斯夫妇》的海外票房甚至可能只有预期中的一半。 Because to favoring of «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» prospect. Columbia has almost put out oneself all family properties, the first week was «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» has arranged more than 2800 silver screens, learned after this data, the majority of media expressed that Columbia the ‚surpassing’ the release method of movie Box Office potential likely created the movie in the large scale shrinkage of next week Box Office, but after first weekend three days of showing, «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» has then attained astonishing 39 million USD Box Office. It is expected that first week Box Office likely touches the 60 million USD production cost line, before then, such result will have generally only summer on the files big piece, shock that therefore brings to the field can be imagined. 因为对《史密斯夫妇》前景的看好。哥伦比亚几乎拿出了自己所有的家底,首周就为《史密斯夫妇》安排了2800多块银幕,获悉这个数据之后,大部分媒体都表示哥伦比亚的这种‘超出’影片票房潜力的发行手段很可能造成电影在次周票房的大幅度缩水,但经过首周末三天的放映,《史密斯夫妇》便拿到了惊人的3900万美元票房。预计首周票房很可能触及6000万美元的制作成本线,在此之前,这样的成绩一般只会发生暑期档大片身上,因此对业界带来的震撼可想而知。 Such result draws a charge, looked faded the majority of media of Columbia hairstyle strategy to transform the wind direction. Starts to analyze «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» obtains the so successful reason, besides first showing scale, in the middle of «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» utilization complete was different from North America in the past the movement laminated form -type Eastern time factor also becomes the focal point that the media have hounded. 这样的成绩一出炉,原本看衰哥伦比亚发型策略的大部分媒体都转变了风向。纷纷开始分析《史密斯夫妇》获得如此成功的原因,除了首映规模之外,《史密斯夫妇》当中运用的完全不同于北美以往动作片形式的东方功夫因素也成了媒体追捧的焦点。 Movie first weekend three days of Box Office passes through publicly, John Wu received the cooperation of several movies to invite with the innumerable media interview invitation for several days. 电影首周末三天票房一经公开,约翰.吴短短几天时间就接到了十几部电影的合作邀约和数不清的媒体采访邀请。 Because has signed the reason of contract with Firefly, the high quota Director salary that although John Wu sent out to other Film Studio and was divided excited, very much has self-knowledge not to contact with the bystander in private, has not torn the contract with Firefly the meaning. These come from the interview invitation of media to make John Wu enjoy actually, the connecting shaft change of scene is accepting or TV Station from the interview of various newspaper magazine. Talked about own violence esthetics and Eastern time, even also returned home with riches and honors flies back to Hong Kong to accept the tvb interview program specially, suddenly was the scenery is infinite. 因为已经与萤火虫签署了合约的缘故,约翰.吴虽然对其他电影公司报出的高额导演片酬和分成非常心动,却也很有自知之明地没有私下与外人接触,更没有与萤火虫撕毁合约的意思。倒是那些来自媒体的采访邀请让约翰.吴非常享受,连轴转地接受着来自各种报纸杂志或者电视台的采访。大谈自己的暴力美学和东方功夫,甚至还衣锦还乡地专门飞回了香港去接受tvb的专访节目,一时间可谓是风光无限。 In original space and time. The time element and Hollywood native place commercial movie is most successful is also an earliest cooperation, when is «The Matrix», the entire series took in global has surpassed 1.5 billion USD Box Office, making the time element suddenly be all the rage Hollywood. As for early Kungfu movie, majority has the time star from East to participate performance, cannot be the authentic Hollywood movie. 原时空中。功夫元素与好莱坞本土商业电影最成功同时也是最早的一次合作当属《黑客帝国》,整个系列在全球拿下了超过15亿美元的票房,让功夫元素一时间风靡好莱坞。至于较早一些的功夫片,大部分都有来自东方的功夫明星参演,并不能算是正宗的好莱坞电影。 But now, because «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» attains greatly successfully. Hollywood also starts to attach great importance to the other side of the ocean, is going through the last crazy good time the Hong Kong movie. Because John Wu and Firefly sign the contract. Other Hollywood several big Film Studio knew that does not have the means to dig the person from the Eric hand, will therefore then focus in Hong Kong Director. But Hong Kong film-maker also saw John Wu these days scenery, became the international big Director tempting goods adds on the native movie to appear again has developed the bottleneck, exceptionally was also earnest to gathering of Hollywood, both sides frequented each other, the demon eye fluttered in the entire above the Pacific. 而现在,因为《史密斯夫妇》的大获成功。好莱坞也开始重视起远在大洋彼岸,正经历最后一段疯狂繁荣时期的香港电影。因为约翰.吴与萤火虫签有合约。好莱坞其他几大电影公司自知没办法从艾瑞克手中挖人,于是便将目光放在香港一线导演身上。而香港本土电影人也看到了约翰.吴这段时间的风光,成为国际大导演的诱货再加上本土电影已经出现了发展瓶颈,对好莱坞的招揽也异常热切,双方你来我往,魅眼在整个太平洋上空飘飘荡荡。 Although the Box Office decline range of «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» second week surpasses 40%, but 3 6 million USD next week Box Office adds on the movie earlier period the point to reflect the accumulation, screened for two weeks the Box Office result with ease to break through 100 million USD, became a 1992 Christmas files biggest Box Office dark horse, it is expected that total Box Office of movie likely broke through 200 million USD, Firefly and Columbia can only recoup the complete announcement cost on North America Box Office and has gained, the late a series of release method brought completely will be the net profit, the brightest eye Box Office progress that after this without doubt was Sony purchased Columbia, makes. 虽然《史密斯夫妇》第二周的票房跌幅超过40%,不过3600万美元的次周票房加上影片前期的点映积累,上映两周之内票房成绩就轻松突破了一亿美元,成为1992年度圣诞档最大的一匹票房黑马,预计电影的总票房很可能突破两亿美元,萤火虫和哥伦比亚仅在北美票房上就能收回全部的宣发成本并有所盈利,后期的一系列发行手段带来的将全部是纯利润,这无疑是索尼收购哥伦比亚之后取得的最亮眼票房成绩。 Peter Guber regarding is not the special effect big piece was also full of grievances with the first movie that Firefly cooperates at heart, but his in the heart only remaining is wild with joy now, even if Columbia in the initial share agreement can only attain 40% benefits, the profit that but gets exceeds the majority of movie obtained income that Columbia distributes in the two years as before. Four movies that if the following three years cooperate with Firefly can maintain the similar result as before, Peter Guber ponders to sit on the Columbia CEO seat calmly and steadily. 彼得.古柏原本对于与萤火虫合作的首部电影不是特效大片心里还满腹牢骚,但现在他心中只剩下欣喜若狂,哪怕在当初的分成协议上哥伦比亚只能拿到四成利益,但获得的利润依旧超过哥伦比亚这两年来发行的大部分电影所得的收益。如果接下来三年与萤火虫合作的四部电影依旧能够保持差不多的成绩,彼得.古柏自忖能够非常安稳地坐在哥伦比亚ceo的位子上。 Beside «Mr. & Mrs. Smith», Christmas files Firefly «Ace Ventura» and Eric enrolled to carry out Producer 《The Bodyguard》 also to make the good progress, although did not have the «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» that strong Box Office harvesting ability, but two weeks later, «Ace Ventura» and 《The Bodyguard》 Box Office broke through 50 million USD. 《史密斯夫妇》之外,圣诞档萤火虫的《神探飞机头》和艾瑞克挂名执行制作人的《保镖》也取得了不错的成绩,虽然没有《史密斯夫妇》那么强劲的票房收割能力,但两周下来,《神探飞机头》和《保镖》的票房都突破了5000万美元。 Except for Firefly, Warner and Columbia, performance some of Hollywood another four big Film Studio this end of the year running schedules are not on the other hand entirely as desired. But most pitiful, when is Metro Goldwyn Mayer, entire one year of Metro Goldwyn Mayer has not produced any movie, but makes the proxy to distribute for the movie that other small companies produce, but all movie Box Office gross income even insufficient 100 million USD of entire 1992 Metro Goldwyn Mayer release, it can be said that went down in the world the pinnacle. 除了萤火虫、华纳和哥伦比亚,好莱坞另外四大电影公司这个年底档期的表现相对来说都有些不尽如人意。而其中最凄惨的当属米高梅,整整一年时间米高梅没有制作任何一部电影,而只是为其他小公司出品的电影做代理发行,而整个1992年度米高梅发行的所有影片票房总收入甚至不足一亿美元,可以说是落魄到了极致。 Because of the Italy investor Giancarlo Parretti cheating lawsuit. Metro Goldwyn Mayer was auctioned by the Bank of France in December publicly, has not bid the result finally, although Eric is somewhat excited to the Metro Goldwyn Mayer huge database, but for the accumulated capital carries on a brighter investment, Eric has not gotten rid to Metro Goldwyn Mayer temporarily. 因为意大利投资人吉安卡洛.帕瑞迪的诈骗官司。米高梅在12月份被法国银行公开拍卖,目前还没有最终投标结果,艾瑞克虽然对米高梅庞大的片库有些心动,但为了积累资金进行更具前景的投资,艾瑞克暂时没有对米高梅出手。 Fox the plan gained the «Home Alone» series copyright manufacture sequel from Firefly here once more, but previous «Home Alone», although was successful. Because young lead Stewart. Runkle grew one year old, for these years the liberal life made him look like has no longer suited in the movie installs to sell to sprout tenderly, therefore this series was also in the risk maximum stage, but Fox this time initial price only then last year 50%, actually the hope participated in peripheral share of «Home Alone». Finally both sides have not come to an arrangement, stemming from all sorts of considerations, the «Home Alone» series has reached a deadlock thoroughly, but Fox independently developed several comedy movie actually not too outstanding performance. 福克斯本打算再次从萤火虫这里获取《小鬼当家》系列版权制作续集的,不过上一部《小鬼当家》虽然获得了成功。但因为小主角斯图尔特.朗克尔又长了一岁,这几年优渥的生活让他看起来已经不再适合在电影里装嫩卖萌,因此这个系列也进入了风险最高的阶段,而福克斯这一次的开价只有去年的50%,却希望参与《小鬼当家》的周边分成。最终双方没有谈妥,出于种种考虑,《小鬼当家》系列算是被彻底搁浅了下来,而福克斯自主开发的几部喜剧电影却并没有太出色的表现。 Paramount Martin Davis the time is dealing with all year round possibly by Viacom or the matter of QVC purchase, has no interest radically the Film Industry service, therefore does not have what work to draw a charge. 派拉蒙的马丁.戴维斯整年时间都在应付着可能被维亚康姆或者qvc收购的事情,根本无心电影业务,因此也没有什么作品出炉。 Universal is actually good, under operating the rudder of Michael Eisner, Universal hit the low cost to succeed by sheer force of numbers the strategy at the end of the year. At the end of the year situation that in several other Film Studio only distribute 12 works, Universal has promoted six movies at the end of the year, operates the picture silver screen about 1000. Then makes the suitable adjustment according to the movie result, the colleagues can think so Michael Eisner to do are also because it cannot be helped, he wields the Universal event to be too short, the cyclical very long big manufacture movie starts radically without enough time, to improve the Universal service condition as soon as possible, inspires the confidence of investor. Michael Eisner has found out such strategy. 环球倒是好一点,在迈克尔.艾斯纳的掌舵下,环球年底打起了低成本以量取胜的策略。在其他几家电影公司年底只发行12部作品的情况下,环球年底一口气推出了六部电影,开画银幕都在1000块左右。然后根据电影成绩进行适当的调整,行内人都可以看得出来迈克尔.艾斯纳这么做也是出于无奈,他执掌环球事件太短,周期很长的大制作电影根本来不及上马,为了尽快改善环球的业务状况,提振投资人的信心。迈克尔.艾斯纳才想出了这样的策略。 Except for «Schindler's List», other five movies are the investment not over two surely USD comedy movies or the narrative movies. The Box Office progress of although making although are not the too bright eye, but in Thanksgiving and Christmas day two months. Six movies including «Schindler's List» added also to surpass 200 million USD, following harvested about 100 million USD Box Office once more is not the issue, the profit prospect was quite considerable. 除了《辛德勒的名单》,其他五部电影都是投资不超过两千万美元的喜剧片或者故事片。虽然取得的票房成绩虽然不是太亮眼,但在感恩节和圣诞节两个月时间。包括《辛德勒的名单》在内六部电影加起来也超过了两亿美元,后续再次收割一亿美元左右的票房也不是问题,利润前景相当可观。 Meanwhile, «Schindler's List» without doubt also became Oscar big popular. 同时,《辛德勒的名单》无疑也成为了奥斯卡的大热门。 Described the movie of World War II massacre as one . Moreover the goal or the Jew, North America all media treated the manner of movie almost with describe cautiously that basically could not see the negative report about «Schindler's List» on the paper intermediary and television, naturally, had other sounds absolutely, for example some Jew associations indicated on the voice that Spielberg's this movie returned to original state to a certain extent the historical evidence, has used the situation of documentary film, as before was not very practical, past tragedy portray insufficient profound. But other Jewish critics also said to the massacre best processing mode must be silent, but does not publicize as victim mindfully repeatedly, this will only increase the hatred, again lays down the unpredictable seed for conflict. 作为一部描写二战时期大屠杀的电影,而且目标还是犹太人,北美所有的媒体对待电影的态度几乎可以用小心翼翼来形容,在纸媒和电视上基本上就看不到关于《辛德勒的名单》的负面报道,当然,也绝对不是没有其他声音,比如一些犹太人团体就发声表示,斯皮尔伯格的这部电影在一定程度上还原了史实,又用了纪录片的形势,却依旧不够写实,将当年的惨剧刻画的不够深刻。而另外一些犹太裔的评论家也表示对大屠杀最好的处理方式应当是沉默,而不是念念不忘地反复以受害者身份去宣扬,这样只会增加仇恨,为再一次的冲突埋下不可预知的种子。 Regardless of the manner of outside how, this movie opens for several weeks, with the massive Jew's support, Box Office broke through 40 million USD quickly, the Universal book thinks that this can be the project that is doomed to lose money, finally the result lets the Michael Eisner accident at the same time, strengthened intensified the effort to win over the Spielberg's determination. 无论外界的态度如何,这部电影上映几周,在大量犹太人的支持下,票房很快突破了4000万美元,环球本以为这会是一个注定亏损的项目,结果成绩让迈克尔.艾斯纳意外的同时,也更加坚定了加大力度拉拢斯皮尔伯格的决心。 And kept Los Angeles Nicole to pass the Christmas day with Drew in Cliff Peak Manor together, continuously attended some party cocktail parties of not being able to turn down, the Eric book has thought that in this year soon calm will pass under this lively atmosphere, but along with completion of Hollywood whole year Box Office statistical result, Firefly once more has become all person focuses. 与德鲁和留在洛杉矶的妮可一起在尖角庄园度过了圣诞节,在此期间又连续参加了一些推不掉的派对酒会,艾瑞克本以为这一年即将在这种热热闹闹的氛围下波澜不惊地度过,但随着好莱坞全年票房统计结果的出炉,萤火虫再次成了所有人关注的焦点。 Although many movies are also as in open the stage, but according to the reputation and Box Office curve of movie earlier period, the Box Office organization must count total Box Office of movie is not the too difficult matter . Moreover the rate of accuracy is quite high. 虽然很多电影依旧还处于上映阶段,但根据电影前期的口碑和票房曲线,票房机构要统计出一部电影的总票房并不是太难的事情,而且准确率相当高。 New year final several days, although most people are in have a vacation the stage, but the specialty of Hollywood or non- specialized magazine started to carry on the review, review as well as the summary to 1992 all movies, but Hollywood whole year Box Office, overseas Box Office and major Film Studio year Box Office total amounts are all people compare the attention without doubt the data. 新年的最后几天,虽然大部分人都处于放假阶段,但好莱坞的专业或者非专业杂志已经纷纷开始对1992年度所有电影进行点评、回顾以及总结,而好莱坞全年票房、海外票房、各大电影公司年度票房总额无疑是所有人都比较关注的数据。 But the result that majority of magazine gives, suddenly lets in the circle the outsiders are surprised. 而大部分杂志给出的结果,一时间让无论是圈内还是圈外人都大吃一惊。 Firefly Pictures by «Twister» and «Sister Act» and «The Mask» and «Aladdin» and «The Speed» as well as the «Ace Ventura» six broken hundred million movies, other 17 movie grand total that sur- Firefly Pictures Disney, the new line and other trade marks screened one after another has attained 1.5 billion 30 million USD Box Office, goes far beyond the Time Warner 800 million 40 million total Box Office result of being listed second, in North America 1992 amounted to the middle of 5 500 million USD Box Office to grab 27% market shares. 萤火虫影业以《龙卷风》、《修女也疯狂》、《变相怪杰》、《阿拉丁》、《生死时速》以及《神探飞机头》六部破亿电影,外加萤火虫影业旗下迪斯尼、新线等几个厂牌陆续上映的其他17部电影总计拿到了15亿3000万美元的票房,远远超过排名第二的时代华纳8亿4000万的总票房成绩,而在北美1992年度总计55亿美元的票房当中占据了27%的市场份额。 Although some magazine also raised objection, indicated that «The Mask» and «Ace Ventura» two movies should not calculate in Firefly, but should belong to TG Film Studio, even if this, subtracts two movie 200 million many Box Office, the Firefly Pictures result goes far beyond second Time Warner as before. Let alone, the person who so long as has understood to the Hollywood circle in slightly, can know that TG is almost equal to the Firefly subsidiary company, but also some people also therefore refuted, if must to invest, but the non- release calculated, then «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» major part Box Office should also calculate in Firefly, therefore, the majority of media favored 1.5 billion this approximate Box Office amount. 虽然有些杂志也提出了异议,表示《变相怪杰》和《神探飞机头》两部电影不应该算在萤火虫旗下,而应该归属于tg电影公司,但即使这样,减去两部电影两亿多的票房,萤火虫影业的成绩依旧远远超过第二名的时代华纳。更何况,只要稍微对好莱坞圈内有所了解的人,都能够知道tg几乎相当于萤火虫的子公司,还有人也因此反驳如果要以投资而非发行来算的话,那么《史密斯夫妇》的一大部分票房也应该算在萤火虫旗下,因此,大部分媒体都更加倾向于15亿这个大致的票房数额。 27% Box Office shares, such astonishing figure many years had not appeared in entire Hollywood, «Hollywood Reporter» has carried on statistics, the Firefly Pictures whole year movie-making as well as the operation budget estimate in eight hundred million USD about, the tax money that deduction must pay, Firefly on North America native place Box Office, probably obtains merely reaches as high as the 400 million multi- USD net profit. Let alone Firefly also has does not lose in the overseas Box Office result of North America native place. 27%的票房份额,这样惊人的数字在整个好莱坞已经很多年都没有出现过,《好莱坞报道者》对此进行了一番统计,萤火虫影业全年制片以及运营预算预计在八亿美元左右,扣除应当缴纳的税款,萤火虫仅仅在北美本土票房上,就可能获得高达4亿多美元的纯利润。更何况萤火虫还拥有丝毫不输于北美本土的海外票房成绩。 But after purchase Disney, the Firefly Pictures entertainment industry chain was perfect, distributes the Box Office shared revenue besides the fixed domestic and foreign theaters, Firefly can also get the big profit from movie the recording tape release, television broadcast authorization, exclusive management authorization and other channels. Let alone Firefly also has several Disneyland now as well as spreads the large amount sales revenue that entire US and Disney peripheral commodity specialists in Europe major cities bring. 而收购迪斯尼之后,萤火虫影业的娱乐产业链已经非常完善,除了固定的国内外影院发行票房分成收入,萤火虫还可以从电影的录像带发行、电视播放授权、专属经营授权等渠道获得大笔的利润。更何况萤火虫现在还拥有几家迪斯尼乐园以及遍及全美和欧洲各大城市的迪斯尼周边商品专营店带来的巨额销售收入。 It can be said that the turnover of Firefly whole year, will go far beyond 1.5 billion USD this digit. 可以说,萤火虫全年的营业额,将远远超过15亿美元这个数字。 However, what what a pity is, because Firefly has not gone on the market, does not need to the financial report of public public Firefly, this also to cause the Firefly actual turnover and profit besides the Firefly core high level, the bystander basically is unable to know. ( to be continued ) 不过,可惜的是,因为萤火虫并没有上市,并不需要向公众公开萤火虫的财务报告,这也导致萤火虫的实际营业额和利润除了萤火虫核心高层之外,外人基本上无从知晓。(未完待续)
