LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

Because Eric ejects that profoundly to analyze the CAA operation style «CAA Inspiration», a series of reforms that as well as feels CAA to threaten Brokerage Firm that carries out afterward, now Hollywood has formed the aspect that CAA, icm and wma three Brokerage Firm the confrontation among three forces, match competition that for with awakening, CAA and in the big Film Studio collaboration process was impossible again maintains the past strong status, the rank of Michael Ovitz also therefore fell first about five. 但因为艾瑞克抛出那篇深刻剖析caa运营模式的《caa启示录》,以及随后感受到caa威胁的经纪公司们进行的一系列改革,现在好莱坞已经形成了caa、icm和wma三家经纪公司三足鼎立的局面,为了与醒悟过来的对手竞争,caa与大电影公司合作过程中不可能再保持以往的强势地位,迈克尔.奥维茨的排名也因此滑落到了前五名开外。 In new Hollywood authority list, Firefly cast off by 27% North America Box Office shares other Film Studio in 1992 by far, Eric has been in the Hollywood authority list first position unsuspensefully, but held the post of Firefly Pictures CEO Michael Lynn and holds the post of Disney Film Industry CEO Katzenberg to occupy sixth and ninth sequence order separately, although the rank was too not high, but in first ten, Firefly Pictures then has wrested merely away three positions, a field therefore piece whooped. 新一届的好莱坞权力榜中,萤火虫在1992年度凭借27%的北美票房份额将其他电影公司远远甩开,艾瑞克毫无悬念地登上了好莱坞权力榜第一名的位置,而担任萤火虫影业ceo的迈克尔.林恩和担任迪斯尼影业ceo的卡森伯格分别占据了第六和第九的位次,虽然排名不算太高,但仅仅前十名中,萤火虫影业便霸占了三个位置,业界因此一片议论纷纷。 Eric takes the first position not any dispute, the Firefly achievement solid pendulum there, but Eric personally Director «Twister» has also won 1992 Box Office champion by global close seven hundred million USD Box Office. But the massive media are hard to accept 《Premiere》 magazine also include first ten Michael Lynn and Katzenberg. 艾瑞克拿下第一名的位置没有任何争议,萤火虫的业绩实实在在的摆在那里,而艾瑞克亲自导演的《龙卷风》也以全球接近七亿美元的票房拿下了1992年度的票房冠军。但大量媒体都难以接受《首映》杂志将迈克尔.林恩和卡森伯格也列入前十名。 In Hollywood, almost any list has the dispute, this also facilitates to provoke the topic, increases the list popularity. Regarding the question of outside, 《Premiere》 magazine will certainly not acknowledge that own list has the issue, instead the looks like hit the chicken blood to open the horsepower to fight the mouth war with the media generally fully. 在好莱坞,几乎任何榜单都是有争议的,这也方便挑起话题,增加榜单的知名度。对于外界的质疑,《首映》杂志当然不会承认自己的榜单有问题,反而像打了鸡血一般开足了马力与媒体打起了嘴仗。 Each Oscar beforehand media main topics was often centralized in the past years is accepted in the Oscar movie, the movie of acceptance showed special prowess, at public relations also launched the public opinion offensive on the media. But this year is different. «Schindler's List» hangs by its absolute normal treatment on the competitor correctly high the head, because of Jew in the Hollywood special position, old times these garnering votes method in this year's basically not too big use, but similarly the competitor of acceptance does not dare launches the public opinion offensive to «Schindler's List», in this case. The topic of 《Premiere》 magazine Hollywood authority list high had also been selected. 每一届奥斯卡之前的媒体主要话题往往集中在当年入围奥斯卡的影片上,入围的影片各显神通,在公关的同时也在媒体上发起舆论攻势。但今年却不同。《辛德勒的名单》以其绝对的正治正确高高地挂在竞争对手上首,因为犹太人在好莱坞的特殊地位,往年的那些拉票手段在今年基本上没有太大用处,而同样入围的竞争对手更是不敢对《辛德勒的名单》发起舆论攻势,这种情况下。《首映》杂志好莱坞权力榜的话题也就被高高地挑了起来。 „...... When Warner unites Chairman Robert Daley to accept the reporter interviewed indicated that because Board of Directors under did not make a decision to the CEO position for a long time, caused the Time Warner achievement to be surmounted by Firefly, when asked and compound ranked second another Warner to unite Chairman Terry Semel, Robert Daley indicates to have no comment. Robert Daley this act is exerting pressure to Warner Board of Directors obviously. “……华纳联合总裁罗伯特.戴利接受记者采访时表示,正是因为董事会长时间对ceo位置不下决断,才导致时代华纳业绩被萤火虫超越,当被问及和自己并列排名第二的另外一位华纳联合总裁特里.塞梅尔,罗伯特.戴利表示不予置评。罗伯特.戴利此举明显是在向华纳董事会施压。 News has it that Robert Daley and Eric Williams personal friendship is really sincere. This condition is very likely to become Robert Daley to seek the Time Warner CEO important chip, because Time Warner predecessor CEO Steve Ross consolidates own status the important way then through to establish the good private relationship with the Steven Speilberg and other Hollywood well-known film-makers. ” 据传闻,罗伯特.戴利与艾瑞克.威廉姆斯私交甚笃。这一条件很可能成为罗伯特.戴利争取时代华纳ceo的重要筹码,因为时代华纳前任ceo史蒂夫.罗斯稳固自身地位的重要方式便是通过与史蒂文.斯皮尔伯格等好莱坞知名电影人建立良好的私人关系。” „...... First new line Film Studio Chairman Robert Shay openly claimed that Michael Lynn is only the puppet that Eric Williams props up, Michael Lynn to Firefly service not any decision-making power. Firefly Pictures refutes the opinion of Robert Shay rarely publicly, indicated that Mr. Michael Lynn was holding the post of the Firefly Pictures CEO process in to make the tremendous contribution to the company.” “……前新线电影公司总裁罗伯特.谢伊公开声称迈克尔.林恩只是艾瑞克.威廉姆斯扶植起来的傀儡,迈克尔.林恩对萤火虫业务没有任何决定权。萤火虫影业罕见公开驳斥罗伯特.谢伊的言论,表示迈克尔.林恩先生在担任萤火虫影业ceo的过程中对公司做出了巨大的贡献。” „...... 《Variety》 magazine well-known film critic Andrew. Fry attacks Hollywood authority list publicly the evaluation standard, indicated that this list should not become the Hollywood authority list. But should change name is the Hollywood influence list.” “……《综艺》杂志知名影评人安德鲁.弗莱瑟公开抨击好莱坞权力榜的评选标准,表示这份榜单不应该成为好莱坞权力榜。而应该改名为好莱坞影响力榜。” „......” “……” In Cliff Peak Manor, because must carry on the «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» Heroine screen test, Drew has to early crawl, sits is eating the rolled cat gruel at the dinner table, is glancing in the Eric hand at will boldface on a newspaper, mumbled: „Does not know really has anything to be good to struggle, I and Liz were arranged at 15 th together, we may not say anything.” 尖角庄园里,因为要进行《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》的女主角试镜,德鲁不得不早早爬起来,坐在餐桌旁喝着麦片粥,随意地瞟着艾瑞克手中一份报纸上的黑体字,嘟囔道:“真不知道有什么好争的,我和莉兹一起被排在第15名呢,我们可都没有说什么诶。” Eric turned newspaper in one page of hand. Saying with a smile: „Yesterday in somebody who on «Hollywood Online» presented to the news that the Hollywood authority list snorted at contemptuously is my misconception?” 艾瑞克翻了一页手中的报纸。笑道:“难道昨天在《好莱坞在线》上出现的某人对好莱坞权力榜嗤之以鼻的新闻是我的错觉喽？” „Absolutely, if you such have bustled about again, are not many to accompany me. Definitely early on the senile dementia,” girl grinningly will be saying, the childish face has collected quickly: „Does Eric, go to the century city to help us carry a shoulder-pole load «Buffy» Heroine today together is good?” “绝对是啊,如果你再这么一直忙碌下去,不多陪陪我的话。肯定会早早地就得老年痴呆的,”丫头笑嘻嘻地说着,娃娃脸很快凑了过来:“艾瑞克,今天一起去世纪城帮我们挑挑《巴菲》的女主角好不好？” „Few days ago Liz did not say that must carry on the Heroine screen test, now hasn't chosen?” “前些日子莉兹不是说要进行女主角的试镜么,现在还没有挑选出来吗？” „No, we have been choosing some Director and supporting roles. Screen test arrangement of Heroine today.” “没有啊,我们一直在挑选导演和一些配角。女主角的试镜安排在今天。” Eric had considered next today's program originally, does not have what important matter. Just like small girl just said that Eric does not think that turn into ‚robot that’ can only work: „Good. I under and others called that side the cinema city saying that today does not pass, when does the screen test start?” 艾瑞克考虑了下今天原本的日程,并没有什么要紧的事情。而且正如小妮子刚刚说的,艾瑞克也不想自己变成一个只会工作的‘机器人’:“好吧。我等下打电话到影城那边说一下,今天就不过去了,试镜什么时候开始？” „Ten o'clock, therefore we do not use too anxiously, only then 16 final candidates, can definitely interview today, therefore we did not use too anxiously the past,” Drew replied. “十点钟,所以我们不用太急,只有16个最终候选人,今天肯定能够面试完的,所以我们也不用太急着过去,”德鲁回答道。 ...... …… Eric and Drew also in Cliff Peak Manor was chatting the «Buffy» Heroine matter, Michael Eisner arrived at Burbank Universal Headquarters. 艾瑞克和德鲁还在尖角庄园聊着《巴菲》女主角的事情时,迈克尔.艾斯纳已经来到了伯班克环球总部。 Recently in the noisy Hollywood authority list, because of last year Universal Pictures turbulence, just wielded Universal one year of Michael Eisner to be arranged by 《Premiere》 magazine at tenth. 最近沸沸扬扬的好莱坞权力榜上,因为去年环球影业的动荡,刚刚执掌环球一年的迈克尔.艾斯纳被《首映》杂志排在了第十名。 But regardless of facing the reporter in secret, Michael Eisner looks is very pale, such that just like 《Variety》 magazine that film critic said that the Hollywood authority list is only the influence list of Hollywood previous year character, although was arranged at tenth, but in fact completely the Universal Michael Eisner of control in hand in the authority of Hollywood, absolutely must be higher than compared with this list, Universal after all is one of the seven big Film Studio, and foundation is solid. 但无论面对记者还是私下里,迈克尔.艾斯纳对此看的都很淡,正如《综艺》杂志那个影评人说的那样,好莱坞权力榜本质上只是好莱坞上一年度的人物的影响力榜单,虽然被排在了第十名,但实际上已经完全将环球掌控在手中的迈克尔.艾斯纳在好莱坞的权力,绝对要比这个榜单高出许多,环球毕竟是七大电影公司之一,而且底蕴深厚。 At the end of last year adopted to succeed by sheer force of numbers strategy to make the profit of Universal Fourth Season add the first three quarters to be higher, Michael Eisner therefore has also consolidated itself the status in Matsushita Parent company heart. 去年年末采取以量取胜的策略让环球第四季度的盈利比前三季度加起来都要高,迈克尔.艾斯纳也因此巩固了自己在松下母公司心中的地位。 However, in Hollywood depends upon the big manufacture movie to create the pattern of majority of profit already in the situation of gradually starting, wants to obtain a better result. Is definitely invalid by the movie of low cost, let alone any Film Studio has itself to distribute the limit of movie. Therefore, Michael Eisner was Universal chooses the appropriate big manufacture project starting from the end of last year. 不过,在好莱坞依靠大制作电影创造大部分盈利的模式已经逐渐兴起的情况下,想要获得更好的成绩。靠中低成本的电影肯定是行不通的,更何况任何一家电影公司都有自己发行电影的极限。所以,迈克尔.艾斯纳从去年年末开始就在为环球挑选合适的大制作项目。 So far, Universal began shooting action movie «The Fugitive» that Harrison Ford acts the leading role, total investment 50 million USD. This is a TV series reorganization work, moreover this project snatches from the Warner hand, because to favoring of «The Fugitive», Universal paid to copyright side 3 million USD for this reason, moreover enhanced Director and actor Harrison Ford salary. 到目前为止,环球已经开拍一部哈里森.福特主演的动作片《亡命天涯》,总投资五千万美元。这是一部电视剧改编作品,而且这个项目还是从华纳手中抢过来的,因为对《亡命天涯》的看好,环球为此多支付给了版权方300万美元,而且还提高了导演和男主角哈里森.福特的片酬。 If Eric here, certainly quite surprised Michael Eisner vision. In the «The Fugitive» original space and time in the 90's introduces the first part dividing up money piece of inland, initially when Drew got rid is Flower Films collects copyright, Eric has also had the idea of this movie, what a pity in the Eric memory this movie too precise information, finally only cannot relinquish. 如果艾瑞克在这里,一定会比较惊讶迈克尔.艾斯纳的眼光。《亡命天涯》正是原时空中九十年代引进内地的第一部分账片,当初德鲁出手为花朵影业搜罗版权时,艾瑞克还打过这部电影的主意,可惜艾瑞克记忆里并没有这部电影太确切的消息,最后只能作罢。 Actually. Although Michael Eisner in the Disney's final several years, has let loose the movie-making service, is responsible for the propaganda and marketing of movie, but in the Paramount time, Michael Eisner under also has held the post of the head of movie-making department in Barry Diller, mentioned 《Indiana Jones》, perhaps the most people first thought will think of Steven Speilberg, reason that but actually few people knew actually 《Indiana Jones》 can shoots come out. Could not separate the relations with support of Michael Eisner at that time. 其实。虽然迈克尔.艾斯纳在迪斯尼的最后几年,已经放开了制片业务,主抓电影的宣传和营销,但在派拉蒙时期,迈克尔.艾斯纳在巴里.迪勒手下也担任过制片部门的负责人,提到《夺宝奇兵》,大部分人或许第一个念头都会想到史蒂文.斯皮尔伯格,但却很少人知道其实《夺宝奇兵》之所以能够拍摄出来。与当时迈克尔.艾斯纳的鼎力支持分不开关系。 Held a brief regular meeting with Universal several management, Michael Eisner then returned to oneself office to start a day of work. 与环球的几位高管召开了一个简短的例会,迈克尔.艾斯纳便回到自己办公室里开始了一天的工作。 The assistants will prepare already good one pack of documents to place on the Michael Eisner desk, gives the opposite party one of the uppermost. Said: Document that „Mr. Eisner, the legal department just passed on, they said that the rescreening idea of «The Mummy» is James Jacks of alpha-ville Corporation raises first, they attained in 1991 have rescreened to be authorized, in the agreement cooperated to develop with Universal together, but Sid Sinberg is only at that time willing the investment not to be higher than the 10 million USD low cost horror film this filmmaking. Therefore they temporarily give up the shoots thought. If the opposite party is not willing to give up the initial authorization, at least needs the 2 million USD legal fee to be able the authorization to receive. Also or, drags to be expired to the authorization.” 助理将早就准备好的一叠文件放在迈克尔.艾斯纳办公桌上,将最上面的一份递给对方。说道:“艾斯纳先生,法务部门刚刚传过来的文件,他们说《木乃伊》的翻拍想法是alpha-ville公司的詹姆斯.杰克斯先提出来的,他们在1991年就拿到了翻拍授权,协议中是与环球一同合作开发,只不过当时希德.辛伯格只愿意将这部电影制作成投资不高于1000万美元的低成本恐怖片。所以他们才暂时放弃拍摄的念头。如果对方不愿意放弃当初的授权,至少需要200万美元的诉讼费才能将授权收回来。又或者,拖到授权过期。” „How long was initial authorization?” Michael Eisner does not lift asks. “当初的授权是多久？”迈克尔.艾斯纳头也不抬地问道。 The assistants have hesitated under. Said: „Ten years.” 助理迟疑了下。说道:“十年。” „You telephone to James Jacks directly, either we pay a penalty, he gives up being authorized, either in the court sees, his anything cannot obtain finally.” “那你直接打电话给詹姆斯.杰克斯,要么我们支付一笔违约金,他放弃授权,要么法庭上见,他最后什么也得不到。” The assistants opened mouth, want to say anything, but quick nods: „Good, Mr. Eisner . Moreover, the «The Mummy» script first draft has also completed, in the second folder from the bottom, according to the 《Indiana Jones》 pattern that you proposed, but also has left the room of development sequel, can the movie-making unit inquiry start to look for Director and male & female leads?” 助理张了张嘴,想要说什么,但很快就点头:“好的,艾斯纳先生,另外,《木乃伊》的剧本初稿也已经完成了,在倒数第二份文件夹里,按照您提出的《夺宝奇兵》的模式,还留下了开发续集的伏笔,制片部询问要不要开始物色导演和男女主角？” Michael Eisner looked for «The Mummy» script came out to open, read one side the forefront story program hastily, gained ground saying: „You pass to Mr. Spielberg script, asks him to be interested . Moreover, Heroine relates Nicole Kidman.” 迈克尔.艾斯纳将《木乃伊》的剧本找了出来翻开,匆匆阅读了一边最前面的故事大纲,抬头说道:“你把剧本传给斯皮尔伯格先生一份,问问他感不感兴趣,另外,女主角联系一下妮可.基德曼。” „Mr. Eisner, I thought that Nicole Kidman some are inappropriate, after «Mr. & Mrs. Smith», her salary rose 10 million USD, is almost in Actress is highest, moreover «The Mummy» Heroine is a frail librarian, in the female killer vivid contrast with «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» was too big.” “艾斯纳先生,我觉得妮可.基德曼有些不合适,在《史密斯夫妇》之后,她的片酬已经涨到了1000万美元,几乎是女演员中最高的,而且《木乃伊》的女主角是一个文弱的图书管理员,与《史密斯夫妇》中的女杀手形象反差太大了。” Michael Eisner gains ground to the assistant said: „I think that you should not look at Nicole Kidman «Sleepless in Seattle» and «The Heat», this is a plasticity is strong, the performing skill absolutely outstanding star, salary high some are absolutely is also worth . Moreover the considerations in some of my also other aspects, therefore you illuminated my instruction to manage are good.” 迈克尔.艾斯纳抬起头对助理说道:“我想你应该没有看过妮可.基德曼的《西雅图夜未眠》和《辣手警花》,这是一个可塑性非常强、演技也绝对出色的女星,片酬高一些是绝对值得的,另外我还有一些其他方面的考虑,所以你照我的吩咐办就好了。” The assistants nodded, see other Michael Eisner not instruction, turned around to leave the office. 助理点了点头,见迈克尔.艾斯纳没有其他吩咐,转身离开了办公室。 The Michael Eisner vision changes «The Mummy» script once more, one month ago, Michael Eisner had found the rescreening plan of this movie in some item files that Sid Sinberg left behind, this made him emerge to imitate the 《Indiana Jones》 style to develop risk TV serial movie about The Mummy quickly. 迈克尔.艾斯纳目光再次转向《木乃伊》的剧本,一个月前,迈克尔.艾斯纳在希德.辛伯格留下的一些项目文件中找到了这部电影的翻拍计划,这让他很快就兴起了模仿《夺宝奇兵》的风格开发出一个关于木乃伊的冒险系列片。 In the westerner bone continuously and searches treasure and other themes to have the strong interest to risk, in addition 《Indiana Jones》 series successful learning from another's mistakes, Michael Eisner thinks, so long as can look for splendid script, supplements with the splendid special effect, this series successful possibility is enormous. 西方人骨子里一直都对冒险和探宝等题材抱有浓厚的兴趣,再加上《夺宝奇兵》系列成功的前车之鉴,迈克尔.艾斯纳认为只要能够物色一个出色的剧本,辅以出色的特效,这个系列成功的可能性极大。 But the tendency made Director and Nicole Kidman in Spielberg is the Heroine thought is he already thought. Although he also knows the possibility that Spielberg complies with is not big, but he at least can definitely make Spielberg enroll a producer definitely not to have the issue. 而倾向于斯皮尔伯格做导演、妮可.基德曼为女主角的念头是他早就想好了的。虽然他也知道斯皮尔伯格答应的可能性不大,但他至少可以肯定让斯皮尔伯格挂名一个制片人肯定是没问题的。 As for the Heroine candidate, besides truly settles on the Nicole present Box Office rallying point, Michael Eisner also probes the meaning of Eric, script hands over in the Nicole hand, Eric also can definitely be able to see. In the fall of last year because Universal raised Joanna Pacula to cover up that matter on own initiative, Eric also owed a favor, Michael Eisner can affirm that Eric should ‚also fall’ favor while this opportunity. 至于女主角人选,除了确实看中妮可现在的票房号召力外,迈克尔.艾斯纳也不无试探艾瑞克的意思,剧本交到妮可手中,艾瑞克也肯定能够看得到。去年秋天因为环球主动提乔安娜.帕库拉进行遮掩那件事,艾瑞克还欠着自己一个人情,迈克尔.艾斯纳可以肯定,艾瑞克应该会趁着这个机会把人情‘还掉’。 Michael Eisner knows, so long as the «The Mummy» series can be successful, then his Universal CEO position becomes impregnable, therefore Michael Eisner spare no effort makes these many arrangement. 迈克尔.艾斯纳知道只要《木乃伊》系列能够成功,那么他环球ceo的位置将变得牢不可破,所以迈克尔.艾斯纳才不遗余力地做这么多的布置。 ...... …… Century city 20th Century Fox Headquarters, expands along with TG's, Elizabeth has rented entire achievement TG's Headquarters in the Fox building. 世纪城二十世纪福克斯总部,随着tg的扩张,伊丽莎白在福克斯大厦里租下了整整一层作为tg的总部。 When Eric and Drew ten o'clock arrive, TG Corporation gathered a troop girl as well as their manager in that corridor. 艾瑞克与德鲁十点钟到达时,tg公司所在那一层走廊里已经聚集了一大群女孩以及她们的经纪人。 Across corridor time, Eric even can see that in these girl pupils starts to shine obviously, only sees the game like one small female wolf, moreover he can definitely absolutely not be the misconception. As wears the girl of cream-colored windproof coat first to put down to act with constraint, before stepping onto, greeted and demands to Eric the signature, other responded the girls who have also encircled. 穿过走廊的时候,艾瑞克甚至都能够看到这些女孩子眸子里明显开始放光,像一只只看到猎物的小母狼,而且他可以肯定绝对不是错觉。随着一个身穿米黄色风衣的女孩首先放下矜持,走上前向艾瑞克打招呼并索要签名,其他反应过来的女孩们也都围了过来。 Eric to these looks like only then the 17-18 years old girls have signed several names, somewhat distressedly in the security by building was escorted was entering TG Headquarters. 艾瑞克给这些看起来都只有十七八岁的女孩子们签了几个名字,才有些狼狈地被大楼里的保安护送着走进了tg总部。 But in the entire process, follows grinningly in her small girl continuously is looking at all these. 而整个过程中,跟在她身边的小妮子一直笑嘻嘻的望着这一切。 They push the door to enter the Drew office together, the girl throws to Eric side suddenly. 两人一起推门走进德鲁的办公室,丫头突然扑到艾瑞克身边。 Eric subconscious both hands protect in the front, said with a smile: „Hello, do you do, will not be will look that I such popular was jealous?” 艾瑞克下意识双手护在胸前,笑道:“喂,你干什么,不会是看我这么受欢迎吃醋了吧？” Girls white his eyes, a small claw actually reaches the pocket of Eric coat, pulled out several to write all over the contact method from the two sides pocket quickly separately the small slip of paper. ( to be continued ) 丫头白了他一眼,一只小爪子却伸向艾瑞克外套的口袋,很快从两边口袋里分别掏出了几张写满联系方式的小纸片。(未完待续)
