Made the telephone call, Eric left balcony to turn back the office, just peacefully has sat on the sofa reads magazine Nicole to look up curiously. 挂了电话,艾瑞克离开阳台走回办公室,刚刚一直安静地坐在沙发上翻看杂志的妮可抬起头好奇地望了过来。 Here is in the Firefly cinema city the Eric individual office, because of the reason of his here work, arranging in office also is very little simple, one set of work furniture, one set of sofa, the desk opposite is one row is placing the bookshelf of many material file. 这里是萤火虫影城里艾瑞克的个人办公室,因为他很少在这里办公的缘故,办公室里的摆置也很简单,一套办公桌椅,一套沙发,办公桌对面是一排摆放着不少资料文件的书架。 Sees Eric to sit, Nicole was Eric but actually: the coffee placed in front of him, asked the cup „I good to hear the TG's name, is they hits?” 看到艾瑞克坐下来,妮可为艾瑞克倒了杯咖啡放在他面前,问道:“我好想听到tg的名字了,是她们打来的吗？” „Is Rupert Murdoch,” Eric shook the head. “是鲁伯特.默多克,”艾瑞克摇了摇头。 Except that from Eric here confirmed that outside matter of TG sell, Murdoch also hopes after Fox completes the purchase, can rights of originally in TG exchanges Fox and Firefly, in other words Fox reclaims the North America release as well as the peripheral right of exploitation of TG movie, simultaneously the overseas distribution rights in hand will give Firefly. 除了从艾瑞克这里确认tg出售的事情外,默多克还希望福克斯完成收购之后,能够将福克斯和萤火虫在tg里原本的权益进行对调,也就是说福克斯收回tg电影的北美发行以及周边开发权,同时将原本手中的海外发行权交给萤火虫。 Eric also knows that Murdoch this has any idea, although resigns the TG 15% benefits, can actually make this Film Studio maintain the relation with, this without doubt is to the Fox most advantageous plan, so long as Eric accepts this condition, Fox is willing to bid eight surely USD ‚redeeming’ distribution rights of TG in Firefly hand, and to purchase TG pays 100 million two USD to give another three women again surely. 艾瑞克也知道默多克这是打得什么主意,虽然让出tg15的利益,却可以让这家电影公司一直与自己保持联系,这样无疑是对福克斯最有利的方案,只要艾瑞克答应这个条件,福克斯愿意出价八千万美元‘赎回’tg在萤火虫手中的发行权,并为收购tg再支付一亿两千万美元给另外三个女人。 In situation that in Eric does not meddle completely, TG most has the movie of profit safeguard is the Jim Carrey comedy, by afterward several years one year a frequency, from Jim Carrey after at the height of power Box Office rallying point that the accumulation of first several movie displays, so long as does not play the literary arts not to do reforming, three movies obtain to amount to the 300 million USD profit are not the issues. The grand total 200 million USD price that Fox starts out is also quite reasonable. After all, Eric attains eight surely USD for investing the movie, three years can also turn several. 在艾瑞克完全不插手的情况下,tg最有盈利保障的电影是金.凯瑞的喜剧,以随后几年一年一部的频率,从金.凯瑞经过前几部电影的积累所表现出来的如日中天的票房号召力,只要不玩文艺不搞转型,三部电影获得总计三亿美元的利润不是问题。福克斯开出的总计两亿美元价格也比较合理。毕竟,艾瑞克拿到八千万美元用于投资电影,三年时间也能翻几番。 Nicole hears the Murdoch name, has not asked anything again, has pulled out thick one pack of script to give Eric from the handbag: „This was Petheo gave me yesterday. I think that the opposite party should be wish makes you have a look?” 妮可听到默多克的名字,没有再多问什么,从手袋了掏出厚厚的一叠剧本交给艾瑞克:“这是派特昨天交给我的。我想对方应该是想要让你看看吧？” Eric takes script, sees in title page the striking «The Mummy» title, as well as the symbol of Universal Pictures, the eye has narrowed the eyes slightly. 艾瑞克拿过剧本,看到封面上醒目的《木乃伊》标题,以及环球影业的标志,眼睛微微眯了起来。 „Besides script, what words Universal also has to hand over?” Eric asked that lets loose script. “除了剧本,环球还有什么话递过来吗？”艾瑞克问了一句,放开剧本。 Nicole shook the head: „Did not have. However after Petheo received script, yesterday investigated some materials, this movie was in 1932 rescreening of Universal old piece, Michael Eisner decides personally, as if the plan manufactured was similar to 《Indiana Jones》 such series movie, before Universal, will rescreen the power to sell to a single-handedly production company. Now is attempting to take back, probably they are still contacting Spielberg, hopes that he can hold the post of Director, Petheo said this possibility is not big, but Spielberg should be able to hold the post of Producer. Was responsible for the producer of this project also saying yesterday, if I can sign one, they can make the concession in the salary.” 妮可摇了摇头:“没有了。不过派特昨天收到剧本之后调查了一些资料,这部电影是1932年环球一部老片的翻拍,迈克尔.艾斯纳亲自拍板的,似乎打算制作成类似于《夺宝奇兵》那样的系列电影,环球之前将翻拍权卖给了一家独力制片公司。现在正在企图收回,好像他们还在接触斯皮尔伯格,希望他能够担任导演,派特说这个可能性不大,不过斯皮尔伯格应该能够担任制作人。负责这个项目的制片人昨天也说,如果我能够多签一部的话,他们可以在片酬上做出让步。” Many bridge section pattern of Hollywood commercial film had already finalized, although script in Eric hand and in memory some deviations. However the overall idea and role establishment of plot are mostly the same except for minor differences, turned script in a hurry, Eric has gained ground to ask: „Your meaning?” 好莱坞商业片的很多桥段模式早就已经定型,艾瑞克手中的剧本虽然与记忆里有些偏差。不过剧情的总体构思和角色设置都大同小异,匆匆将剧本翻了一遍,艾瑞克抬头问道:“那你的意思呢？” Nicole puts down the coffee cup in hand. Said earnestly: „Before developed was that noisy role, I thought that in this script the learned and accomplished librarian role was very interesting.” 妮可放下手中的咖啡杯。认真说道:“以前演的都是那种吵吵闹闹的角色,我觉得这个剧本里博学多才的图书管理员角色还挺有意思呢。” „Since this, that meets,” Eric places on script the tea table, thinks, walks toward the desk. “既然这样,那就接吧,”艾瑞克将剧本放在茶几上,想了想,又朝办公桌走去。 Nicole is looking at the Eric form. Said: „But, this is the Universal movie. That, Michael Eisner......” 妮可望着艾瑞克的身影。道:“可是,这是环球的电影啊。那个,迈克尔.艾斯纳……” „Hehe. I do not have am so mean-spirited, so long as you liked being good . Moreover the words that you did not develop, Universal will also look for other stars,” Eric was saying, put out a telephone directory from the drawer of desk, had found a number quickly, took up the plane on tabletop to dial. “呵呵。我没那么小气,只要你喜欢就行了,而且你不演的话,环球也会去找其他女星,”艾瑞克说着,从办公桌的抽屉里拿出一本电话簿,很快找到了一个号码,拿起桌面上的座机拨了过去。 Some Nicole strange Eric actions, have not opened the mouth to disturb again. 妮可有些奇怪艾瑞克的举动,没有再开口打扰。 Eric picked up the microphone to wait for a while, the telephone connection, said: „I am Eric Williams, please meet Mr. Eisner.” 艾瑞克拿起话筒等了一会儿,电话接通,说道:“我是艾瑞克.威廉姆斯,请接一下艾斯纳先生。” In a Burbank Universal Headquarters office, hears Eric to identify one's role when first coming on stage, the accident unusual Eisner assistant had even forgotten ahead of time notifies, changed to the telephone the Michael Eisner plane directly. After the connection, realizes anything, the standing up gate did not knock has shoved open the door of Michael Eisner office, actually saw Michael Eisner smilingly to say anything with telephone that saw that the assistant rushed suddenly, has not been angry unusual, but waved to hint the opposite party to exit. 伯班克环球总部的一件办公室里,听到艾瑞克自报家门,意外非常的艾斯纳助理甚至都忘记了提前通报,直接将电话转到了迈克尔.艾斯纳的座机上。接通之后才意识到什么,站起身门也不敲就推开了迈克尔.艾斯纳办公室的房门,却见迈克尔.艾斯纳已经在笑眯眯地与电话那头在说些什么,看到助理突然闯进来,反常地没有生气,只是挥挥手示意对方出去。 „Eric, cannot think that you will hit, what matter has?” Michael Eisner has driven away the assistant, by asked on the sofa with a smile. “艾瑞克,想不到你会打过来,有什么事情吗？”迈克尔.艾斯纳赶走了助理,靠在沙发上笑着问道。 „I just saw «The Mummy» script, this is a good drop,” the Eric expression is also very optional: „But, I looked that Universal should plan to develop a series, does not know that you do have complete script of entire series, the program is also good, I want to take a look.” “我刚刚看到《木乃伊》的剧本了,这是个不错的点子,”艾瑞克语气也很随意:“不过,我看出来环球应该打算开发出一个系列,不知道你们有没有整个系列的完整剧本,大纲也行,我想看看。” Michael Eisner stopped in the finger that on the tabletop stroked gently the moment, quick with a smile said: „Naturally does not have the issue, my this makes the person deliver you to you, was right, now where are you at?” 迈克尔.艾斯纳原本在桌面上摩挲的手指停顿了片刻,很快就笑着说道:“当然没问题,我这就让人给你送过你,对了,你现在在哪？” „Playa Vista,” Eric replied. “普雷亚维斯塔,”艾瑞克答道。 „Should Oh, the «Jurassic Park» later period be about to complete? On Super Bowl has not seen the preview of this movie, everybody is very regrettable.” “哦,《侏罗纪公园》的后期应该快完成了吧？超级碗上没有看到这部电影的预告片,大家都挺遗憾的。” The Eric expression invariably replied: „Quick can see, believes that many people will be surprised.” 艾瑞克语气不变地答道:“很快就能看到了,相信很多人都会大吃一惊的。” „I have waited,” Michael Eisner said with a laugh: „Preview time do not forget to send an invitation to me.” “那我就拭目以待了,”迈克尔.艾斯纳笑呵呵地说道:“试映的时候别忘了给我发张邀请函。” „Good, I while convenient will when the time comes look for a reporter, shoots the picture that you participate in the preview, this propagandizes the «Jurassic Park» golden opportunity,” Eric cracks a joke as if for real. “好啊,我到时候会顺便找一个记者,把你参与试映的照片拍下来,这可是宣传《侏罗纪公园》的大好机会,”艾瑞克半真半假地开着玩笑。 Michael Eisner has selected under the eyebrow, if has this kind of picture to put, two's relations definitely publicized ‚defrosting’: „Haha, when the time comes I will coordinate your, if no other matters. Eats meal together?” 迈克尔.艾斯纳挑了下眉,如果真的有这样一张照片放出来,那两人的关系肯定就公开‘解冻’了:“哈哈,到时候我会配合你的,如果没有其他事情的话。有空一起吃饭吧？” „Does not have the issue, then, bye.” Eric was saying, after hearing the response of opposite party, has made the telephone call. “没问题,那么,再见。”艾瑞克说着,听到对方的回应之后,挂了电话。 Hears other microphone one side busy signal. Michael Eisner has not actually put the microphone, but in shakes hand is rapping the tabletop gently, knit the brows ponders the purpose in coming of Eric this telephone slightly. 听到话筒另外一边的忙音。迈克尔.艾斯纳却没有将话筒放回去,而是握着手里轻轻敲击着桌面,微微皱眉地思考艾瑞克这个电话的来意。 Wants by him to «The Mummy» this script ‚attaches great importance to’ confusing itself, making Universal expand the investment? 想要以他对《木乃伊》这个剧本的‘重视’迷惑自己,让环球加大投入？ Thinks that Michael Eisner thought is unlikely, the opposite party should not play this preliminary small method. What then the enemy does hit the intention of this telephone is? 想了想,迈克尔.艾斯纳又觉得不太可能,对方应该不会玩这种低级的小手段。那么对方打这个电话的用意到底是什么？ Although cannot ponder any clue for a while. Michael Eisner quickly told that the assistant has delivered to Eric the «The Mummy» series program. He did not worry actually Eric plagiarizes «The Mummy» script anything, if had this matter, that Universal can file a lawsuit with Firefly happily. 虽然一时思考不出任何头绪。迈克尔.艾斯纳还是很快吩咐助理将《木乃伊》的系列大纲给艾瑞克送了过去。他倒是不担心艾瑞克抄袭《木乃伊》剧本什么的,要是真的发生了这种事,那环球就可以欢欢乐乐地与萤火虫打一场官司了。 During Eric telephones, curious Nicole has pulled a chair to sit in the Eric opposite. 艾瑞克打电话期间,好奇的妮可就已经拉了一张椅子坐在了艾瑞克对面。 Waited for Eric to make the telephone call, Nicole curiously asked: „Hello. What do you want «The Mummy» script make?” 等艾瑞克挂了电话,妮可才好奇地问道:“喂。你要《木乃伊》的剧本做什么？” „My special effect to the «The Mummy» is interested very much, wish makes the digital domain receive the special effect work of this movie,” Eric has not concealed, but does not have the means to explain to Nicole is too clear, specifically speaking, he is interested in the original «The Mummy» second part special effect very much. In just script, Eric saw that Heroine Evelyn is reincarnated the rebirth the clue as well as the ancient Egyptian god of death Anubis's soul military information. “我对《木乃伊》的特效很感兴趣,想要让数字领域接下这部电影的特效工作,”艾瑞克没有隐瞒,不过也没办法向妮可解释太清楚,具体来说,他是对原版《木乃伊》第二部的特效很感兴趣。在刚刚的剧本里,艾瑞克就已经看到女主角伊芙琳转世重生的线索以及古埃及死神阿努比斯的亡灵军队信息。 The soul army who in original «The Mummy 2», scorpion King summoned has made very deep impression to Eric. Because of Western manpower high-cost reason, this age wants, in a movie budgets in the withstanding range, realizes the mighty force war scene in the honorable person way basically is impossible. The only method can only use computer CG Special Effects. If Universal script outline and original do not have the too large-deviation, receives the special effect manufacture of «The Mummy» sequel, regarding the development of digital domain major war special effect is a time very good exercise opportunity. 原版《木乃伊2》中,蝎子王召唤的亡灵大军给艾瑞克留下了很深的印象。因为西方人力成本高昂的缘故,这个年代想要在一部电影预算承受范围内,以真人方式实现千军万马的战争场景基本上是不可能的。唯一的方法只能使用电脑cg特效。而如果环球的剧本大纲与原版没有太大偏差的话,接下《木乃伊》续集的特效制作,对于数字领域大规模战争特效的开发是一次非常好的锻炼机会。 Although Eric has hinted the digital domain to start to research and develop the related technology, but does not have the true film work to carry on the practical application training, no one knows how the concrete effect can be, does not know that which aspect should to make the technology development and improvement. 虽然艾瑞克已经示意数字领域开始研发相关的技术,但没有真正电影作品进行实际应用训练,谁也不知道具体的效果会是如何,也不知道该向哪个方面进行技术开发和改进。 The major war special effect is in the future special effect movie developing process a very important part. Seized the opportunity in this aspect, the digital domain can technically lead other Film Studio big truncations. Even if under Universal round in the «The Mummy» series programs does not have the scene of soul army. Eric also planned that develops a related special effect movie to let digital domain in the next 2-3 years ‚practicing acquiring a skill’. 大规模战争特效是未来特效电影发展过程中很重要的一环。掌握了这方面的先机,数字领域就又能够在技术上领先其他电影公司一大截。即使等下环球发过来的《木乃伊》系列大纲中没有亡灵大军的场景。艾瑞克也打算在未来两三年中开发一部相关的特效电影让数字领域‘练手’。 Nicole actually to special effect and so on topic is not interested, the slender finger has shot several on script. Looks at Eric saying: „If you do not have opinion, I do let Petheo and Universal discuss the contract?” 妮可倒是对特效之类的话题不太感兴趣,纤细的手指在剧本上弹了几下。望着艾瑞克道:“如果你真的没有意见的话,我就让派特与环球谈合约啦？” Eric looks at Nicole to press under the arm thick script, suddenly thinks of Michael Eisner, since delivers to front of script through the hand of Nicole oneself, the reason should not only make Nicole inquire whether is willing to make her play. Remembered Universal to depress the Joanna sudden refined language to develop the matter of inside story six months ago, Eric brought script once more, extracted a pencil from nearby pen container, knocked the tabletop to ponder a while, finally has written down a 5% digit in the title page, has given Nicole script. 艾瑞克看着妮可压在手臂下面厚厚的剧本,突然想到迈克尔.艾斯纳既然通过妮可的手将剧本送到自己面前,原因应该不仅仅只是让妮可询问一下自己是否愿意让她出演的。想起半年前环球压下乔安娜突然辞演内幕的事情,艾瑞克再次将剧本拿了过来,从旁边笔筒里抽出一只铅笔,敲着桌面思考了一会儿,最后在封面上写下了一个5%的数字,又将剧本递给了妮可。 Nicole was crooked the head to look at the above figure, asked: „What is this?” 妮可歪着脑袋看了看上面的数字,问道:“这是什么？” „Your individual salary should be 10 million USD now, I had owed a Michael Eisner favor last year, now just also he. You make Petheo help you according to 5% bottom lines discuss that the entire channel is divided, gives up the fixed salary, although will make you take back the time of reward to elongate, but obtains absolutely be more than 10 million USD, you give up the salary taking to be divided, strengthens the belief of Universal to this project in disguised form.” “你的个人片酬现在应该是1000万美元,我去年欠了迈克尔.艾斯纳一个人情,现在刚好还他。你就让派特帮你按照5%的底线谈全渠道分成吧,放弃固定片酬虽然会让你收回酬劳的时间拉长很多,但得到的绝对要比1000万美元多,你放弃片酬拿分成,也算是变相增加环球对这个项目的信心。” „, You approximately do a favor with my piece, does not ask others to want, who knows that this movie can gain 200 million,” Nicole flings a supercilious look, the corners of the mouth is selecting as before. “呵,你拿我的片约来做人情,也不问问人家愿不愿意,谁知道这部电影能不能赚两亿啊,”妮可甩来一个白眼,嘴角依旧挑着。 Eric feels being angry intent of girl, sympathizes very much smiles to ask: „Do you want?” 艾瑞克感受到女郎的嗔意,很体贴地笑问道:“那你愿意吗？” Nicole is not short of money to spend now, not only can obtain many reward and makes Eric record oneself one point, pours is also not a bad choice, disguised to ponder the moment, ‚pushing someone take on a difficult job’ said: „Was good, promised you, but, had the Jack Nicholson matter before, you thought that Universal will comply easily?” 妮可现在并不缺钱花,既能够获得更多的酬劳又让艾瑞克记自己一分好,倒也是个不坏的选择,假装思考了片刻,就‘勉为其难’地说道:“好了,答应你了,不过,有杰克.尼克尔森的事情在前,你觉得环球会轻易答应下来吗？” Salary of Jack Nicholson in «Batman» is the topic that in the entertainment world many stars love to talk about, many people were vainly hoping for has this kind of the opportunity of paying dirt. Eric said: „If Universal did not agree that you just can receive the 10 million USD salary, has not lost anything to you.” 杰克.尼克尔森在《蝙蝠侠》中的片酬是娱乐圈中很多明星津津乐道的话题,很多人都梦想着有这样一次发横财的机会。艾瑞克道:“如果环球不同意,那你刚好可以直接收1000万美元的片酬,对你来说也没有损失什么。” The Nicole looking pensive place a chin, has put out a hand to snatch that pencil from the Eric hand, in the title page in front of 5% the figures added a figure directly one, turned into 15%, then said to Eric: „I make Petheo from 15% start to discuss that perhaps finally can talk about over 10%. Although this movie is big investment, even if being counted following release fee, the total investment will not surpass 100 million USD, if my this 10 million salary only took 5% to owe.” 妮可若有所思地点了点下巴,伸手从艾瑞克手中抢过那支铅笔,直接在封面上5%的数字前面加了个数字一,变成了15%,然后对艾瑞克道:“那我让派特从15%开始谈,说不定最后能够谈到10%以上呢。虽然这部电影是大投资,但哪怕算上后面的发行费,总投资也不会超过一亿美元,我这1000万的片酬要是只拿5%就太亏了。” The computer special effect movie just emerged in North America as well as the global market few years, is the market demand exuberant opportunity, «The Mummy» script is also splendid, so long as the Lord create does not act unreasonably, maintains in the Eric memory the standard of original, global harvests 300 million USD above Box Office is not the issue. Estimates sketchily, invests 60 million, announcement 20 million, depend upon Box Office Universal to recoup the cost completely, the following recording tape and peripheral profit are richer, in two years of entire channel release cycles, the profit income surpasses 200 million USD is not the issue, if Nicole can be divided into to talk about over 10% the entire channel, perhaps will become first will step on into the female star in 20 million salary club. 电脑特效电影在北美以及全球市场刚刚兴起没几年,正是市场需求旺盛的时机,《木乃伊》的剧本也非常出色,只要主创们不乱来,保持艾瑞克记忆中原版的水准,全球收获三亿美元以上票房不是问题。粗略估算一下,投资60000000,宣发20000000,依靠票房环球就能完全收回成本,后续的录像带和周边盈利更加丰厚,两年的全渠道发行周期内,利润收入超过两亿美元不是问题,如果妮可真的能够将全渠道分成谈到10%以上,说不定会成为第一个踩入2000万片酬俱乐部的女明星。 Thinks of these, Eric could not bear toward Nicole gave the thumbs-up, said with a smile: „Enough ruthless, really most poisonous woman will of the people.” 想到这些,艾瑞克忍不住朝妮可伸出了大拇指,笑道:“够狠,果然最毒妇人心。” „Bah, cannot say me.” In hand that Nicole in Eric extends has hit gently, takes in script the package, the corner of the eye curved asked: „Quick noon, we went to that side the Venice beach to have the lunch to be good, did there have several good dining rooms?” “呸,不许这么说我。”妮可在艾瑞克伸过来的手上轻轻打了一下,将剧本收进包里,才眼角弯弯地问道:“快中午了呢,我们去威尼斯海滩那边吃午餐好不好,那里有好几家不错的餐厅呢？” „Won't be surrounded?” Eric smiles to ask, now «Mr. & Mrs. Smith» fragmentarily is still screening, some overseas markets are like a raging fire, the Nicole fame at the height of power, her every action and every movement closely are being paid attention to by paparazzi now, although paparazzi mixes in the cinema city the possibility not to be big, so long as they exit, that absolutely surrounded life. “不会被围观吗？”艾瑞克笑问道,现在《史密斯夫妇》还在零星地上映着,海外一些市场更是如火如荼,妮可的名气如日中天,现在她的一举一动都被狗仔们紧紧地关注着,虽然狗仔混入影城的可能性不大,但只要两人出去,那绝对是被围观的命。 „I make the assistant drive away car(riage) first lead away some people, you look for an ordinary vehicle, we exit secretly, should not have the issue, even if were discovered that I do not have the boyfriend, you do not have the official girlfriend, what can they say?” Nicole was saying was saying, the look hidden bitterness gets up: „Said that you aren't willing to make an appearance with me together?” “我让助理先把车开走引开一些人,你找一辆普通的车子,我们偷偷出去,应该没问题吧,就算被发现了,我没男朋友,你也没有正式的女朋友,他们能说什么？”妮可说着说着,眼神幽怨起来:“还是说,你不愿意跟我一起露面？” „Stops, this look lethality is too big, I surrender!” “停,这眼神杀伤力太大,我投降！” „Hehe......” ( to be continued ) “呵呵……”(未完待续)
