Chapter 538 第538章 In the mind is thinking Rachel told itself to want the initiative words, Carolyn to make a deep breath, in patted gently has clapped that pack of newspaper, filled with just Alan to her spare room card opened the door of Eric anteroom. 脑海里想着瑞切尔告诉自己要主动一些的话语,卡洛琳做了一个深呼吸,轻轻拍了拍手里的那叠报纸,才用刚刚艾伦塞给她的备用房卡打开了艾瑞克套房的房门。 Now is 8 : 30 am, Carolyn took the translation of Eric last night, attended a cocktail party with him, she has not certainly drunk, but Eric is difficult to keep off the enthusiasm of host family, drinks somewhat many, therefore has not gotten out of bed to the present. 现在已经是早上八点半,卡洛琳昨晚作为艾瑞克的翻译,和他一起参加了一个酒会,她当然是没有喝什么酒,不过艾瑞克却难挡主人家的热情,喝的有些多,因此到现在都没有起床。 Carolyn has had the breakfast, arrives at a nearby park to take a walk, just meets Alan to prepare today's newspaper, planned that awakens Eric. Alan is good to the girl impression that oneself greeted well-mannered to this, he was also clear Carolyn to like Eric, then on own initiative provided the opportunity for the girl. 卡洛琳吃过早饭,到附近的一家公园散步回来,刚好遇到艾伦准备好今天的报纸,打算去叫醒艾瑞克。艾伦对这个向自己彬彬有礼地打招呼的女孩印象非常好,他也清楚卡洛琳喜欢艾瑞克,便主动为女孩提供起了机会。 Shoved open the door of luxurious anteroom, the Carolyn small head puts in the room to look at one, discovered that in the living room nobody, walked. Places on newspaper in hand tea table, Carolyn moves toward the bedroom entrance, put out a hand to knock gently several. 推开豪华套房的房门,卡洛琳小脑袋伸进房间里看了一眼,发现客厅里没人,才走了进去。将手中的报纸放在茶几上,卡洛琳走向卧室门口,伸手轻轻敲了几下。 „Wait a bit.” “稍等。” In the bedroom spread a sound immediately, had a scare the girl, has not waited for her to make any response, the bedroom gate is pulled open suddenly, then, a man and a woman so were dull there. 卧室里立刻就传出了一个声音,把女孩吓了一跳,还没等她做出任何反应,卧室门突然被人拉开,然后,一男一女就这么呆在了那里。 Eric just woke up, but also thinks that what out is Alan, just remembered the matter to forget the office yesterday, planned that made the assistant telephone toward Los Angeles, wants not to open the door. 艾瑞克才刚刚醒来,还以为门外的是艾伦,刚好想起昨天有一件事忘了办,打算让助理往洛杉矶打个电话,想也不想就拉开了房门。 Carolyn has not called the experience that a man gets out of bed, where thinks that Eric only wears flat angle trousers to run to open the door to oneself. The girl stature somewhat was petite, opens the door the later vision first to fall in the Eric healthy upper body muscle line, then slides, then called one to turn around. Both hands cover the cheek that oneself felt hot unrestrainedly. 卡洛琳可从来没有叫一个男人起床的经历,哪里会想到艾瑞克只穿着一件平角裤就跑来给自己开门。女孩个子本来就有些娇小,开门之后目光首先落在艾瑞克健美上身肌肉线条上,然后下滑,然后啊的叫了一声转过身去。双手情不自禁地捂住了自己发烫的脸蛋。 Some Eric of being in a daze were awakened also by girl's tender call, saw that Carolyn turns around to cover the adorable appearance of cheek, cannot bear smile, turns around to take up the clothes sets of toward the body, teased: „Very early in the morning runs to occupy me to be cheap. Oh, then I may suffer a loss, does not know that can gain.” 本来也有些发愣的艾瑞克被女孩的娇呼声惊醒了过来,看到卡洛琳转身捂住脸蛋儿的可爱模样,忍不住笑了笑,转身去拿起衣服往身上套着,调侃道:“大清早就跑来占我便宜。唉,这下我可吃大亏了,就是不知道能不能赚回来。” Carolyn stamped the feet gently, clear(ly) knows that Eric is cracking a joke, cannot bear argue: „I do not have, I am only...... I come to deliver newspaper to you.” 卡洛琳轻轻跺了跺脚,明知道艾瑞克是在开玩笑,还是忍不住辩解道:“我没有,我只是……我只是来给你送报纸的。” Eric heard in the Carolyn sound to have the vibrato. Knows that the girl surface is tender, does not dare to continue to tease, 2-3 wear the clothes, said: „Was good, you can turn around.” 艾瑞克听着卡洛琳的声音里都有了颤音。知道女孩面嫩,没敢继续调侃,三两下将衣服穿好,道:“好了,你可以转过来了。” Carolyn wanted to run away. However she knows that now on own cheek definitely likely has hoodwinked a scarlet cloth, such exits, if were bumped into, certainly must be smiled, therefore has borne the impulsion of fleeing, but hears Eric these words, the girl is actually not willing to turn around, carries Eric to say as before: „Eric, you wash first. I help you call to call the breakfast.” 卡洛琳本来是想要逃走的。不过她知道现在自己的脸蛋上肯定像是蒙了一层红布,这么出去如果被人碰到,肯定要被笑死,因此才忍住了逃离的冲动,但听到艾瑞克这句话,女孩却也不愿意转过来,依旧背着艾瑞克道:“艾瑞克,你先去洗漱吧。我帮你打电话叫一下早餐。” „Good, has thanked,” Eric has not rejected. In the Royal Court bathroom walks. “好啊,谢谢了,”艾瑞克没有拒绝。朝浴室里走去。 After more than ten minutes, without a trace that Eric goes out of the bedroom once more vanish, the Carolyn form, Eric shook the head with a smile, somewhat is at heart sigh with emotion, cannot see such pure and shy girl in Hollywood absolutely. 十多分钟之后,艾瑞克再次走出卧室,卡洛琳的身影已经消失的无影无踪,艾瑞克笑着摇了摇头,心里有些感慨,在好莱坞是绝对看不到这么单纯又害羞的女孩子的。 Arrives at Europe again. Eric made a phone call to arrive at London according to the initial agreement, has not thought that Carolyn had caught up on the same day. Eric understands certainly the girl to own thoughts. However, is deeper to the Carolyn pure busy disposition experience. Eric thought on exceed that perhaps should make the girl continue to return to her life track to come up, Hollywood this Vanity Fair is not absolutely suitable not to have any plans girl like this, will take to bring in her will only bring the injury to her. 再次来到欧洲。艾瑞克按照当初的约定打了一个电话到伦敦,没想到卡洛琳当天就赶了过来。艾瑞克当然明白女孩对自己的心思。不过,对卡洛琳单纯无暇的性格体会越深。艾瑞克就越觉得,或许应该让女孩继续回到她原本的生活轨道上去,好莱坞这个名利场是绝对不适合这样没什么心机的女孩子的,将她带进来只会给她带来伤害。 Is thinking at heart these matters, Eric thinks Carolyn has not helped itself shout the breakfast, was planning that picks up the phone to make the dining room deliver some breakfasts to come, the server in hotel pressed to make a sound the doorbell. 心里想着这些事情,艾瑞克以为卡洛琳并没有帮自己喊早餐,正打算拿起电话让餐厅送些早餐过来,酒店的服务生就按响了门铃。 «Jurassic Park» German preview ceremony in had conducted couple days ago, but, Paris preview ceremony must by July 14, Eric recently the daytime as before everywhere tour the corner of Berlin, in the evening similarly cannot shunt all kinds of invitations. 《侏罗纪公园》的德国首映式在前几天就已经举办了,不过,巴黎的首映式要到7月14日,艾瑞克这些日子白天依旧在到处游览柏林的角角落落,晚上同样躲不开各种各样的邀请。 Germany is the Europe most developed country, the economic strength in also once was after the war impartial with Japan, if not the influence of cold war, economic strength of Germany absolutely not with present world second largest economy Japan difference many. However, the German national strength of this age as before is Europe is even so strongest, the gross national product even can be as good as Europe to place second and third UK , France sum total. 德国是欧洲最发达的国家,经济实力在战后也一度与日本持平,如果不是冷战的影响,德国的经济实力绝对不会与现在的世界第二大经济体日本差多少。不过,即使如此,这个年代的德国国力依旧是欧洲最强,国民生产总值甚至抵得上欧洲排名第二和第三的英法两国总和。 Economy developed also means in the hand to have so much funds, although the German has not lacked the security sense world to buy the industry like Japanese everywhere, actually also craves in invests outward. But because of special tax policy the rapid growth of stimulation as well as Hollywood, invests the Hollywood movie is at present one of the German very popular investment patterns. 经济的发达也就意味着手中拥有大量的资金,虽然德国人没有像日本人那样缺乏安全感地世界各地到处置办产业,却也非常热衷于向外投资。而因为特殊的税收政策刺激以及好莱坞的快速发展,投资好莱坞电影是目前德国非常流行的投资方式之一。 The German mansion for the development of stimulation movie, had stipulated the German invests the fund of movie not to need to pay taxes, but the personal income tax of Germany reaches as high as 51%, in other words, if your one year has gained 1 million, if not invest, you need to pay the 510,000 personal income tax, but if goes to the filmmaking this sum of money, this 1 million does not need to pay the personal income tax again, this was equal to that the investor invests with the 510,000 tax money. If this 1 million got a time of profit at the movie, turned into 2 million USD, then after paying the personal income tax, the remaining money basically were equal to avoiding the initial personal income tax . Moreover, even if were this fund has not turned time, but has gained very part, to a certain extent was also equal to avoiding part of tax revenues. 德国正府为了刺激电影的发展,规定了德国人投资电影的资金并不需要交税,而德国的个人所得税高达51%,也就是说,如果你一年赚了100万,如果不进行投资的话,你需要交纳51万个人所得税,但如果将这笔钱投向电影制作,这100万就不需要再交纳个人所得税,这就等于投资者用51万的税款进行投资。而如果这100万在电影上获得了一倍的利润,变成了200万美元,那么交纳个人所得税之后,剩下的钱基本上就等于免除了当初的个人所得税,而且,哪怕是这笔资金并没有翻倍,只是赚了很一部分,从一定程度上来说也相当于免除了一部分税收。 Is hitting this thought that the risk that although the movie invests is big, but many German investors advance uninterruptedly throw the big fund to Hollywood. But two movie «Certainly Range Bear Peak» and that «Last Action Hero» this summer files Carlock Film Industry throws miserably, majority of manufacture fund on movie fund from Germany. 打着这种念头,虽然电影投资的风险非常大,但还是有很多德国投资人前赴后继地将大笔大笔的资金抛向好莱坞。而今年暑期档卡洛克影业惨扑的两部电影《绝岭熊峰》和《最后的动作英雄》,大部分的制作资金就来自德国的电影基金。 Strict, Firefly «Jurassic Park» intensified the loss quotas of these two big manufactures to a certain extent, Schwarzenegger «Recent Movement Hero» basically by the «Jurassic Park» crush in the past, when Eric arrives in Berlin, receives many German Film Studio and earnest praise of movie fund as before, experienced «Certainly Range Bear Peak» and failure of «Last Action Hero». The Germans also study was more intelligent, understands that invited the big star to manufacture the big piece not so to be safe purely, found the correct investment objective is safest, but is renovating the present of Box Office record in «Jurassic Park» global crazily, Firefly Pictures absolutely was the most appropriate investment objective. 严格来说,萤火虫的《侏罗纪公园》一定程度上加剧了这两部大制作的损失额度,施瓦辛格的《最近的动作英雄》基本上就是被《侏罗纪公园》生生碾压过去的,不过当艾瑞克到达柏林的时候,依旧受到很多德国电影公司和电影基金的热切追捧,经历了《绝岭熊峰》和《最后的动作英雄》的失败。德国人也学的聪明了一些,明白单纯地邀请大明星制作大片还是不那么保险,找到正确的投资目标才是最稳妥的,而在《侏罗纪公园》全球疯狂刷新着票房纪录的现在,萤火虫影业绝对是最最合适的投资目标。 Eric in tople days of Berlin. The invitation that receives came from the canvassers of some German movie foundations majority. Meanwhile, he also starts to consider that this issue, the estimated cost of Hollywood big Film Studio on average each movie as in 30 million USD about, the announcement budget also is not too at present high, at the big Film Studio average the output of 20 movies, the manufacture fund Firefly internal cash class that needs can digest every year very much with ease. At present Firefly Pictures little introduces the exterior filmmaking fund. 艾瑞克在柏林的这些日子。接到的邀请大部分都来自一些德国电影基金会的游说者。同时,他也开始考虑这个问题,目前好莱坞大电影公司平均每部电影的预算成本依旧在3000万美元左右,宣发预算也并不算太高,以大电影公司平均每年20部电影的产量,所需要的制作资金萤火虫内部现金流可以很轻松地消化掉。目前萤火虫影业就很少引入外部的电影制作资金。 But along with the coming of big manufacture movie time, the announcement budget sum total of each movie likely with ease will break on average the 100 million USD critical junction in the future, although Eric is very as before self-confident, that time Firefly can withstand so huge call for fund quantity similarly, but such does is not cost-effective. At Eric these years understanding Hollywood. He understands that the Hollywood biggest superiority, makes the movie with others' money, makes own profit. The risk that because the movie invests is very big, that many that money that generally speaking, the Hollywood exterior investor makes has not imagined, invests the Hollywood fund to produce 10% to 15% profits every year, could be very rich rate of return. 但随着大制作电影时代的到来,将来平均每部电影的宣发预算总和很可能轻松突破一亿美元大关,虽然艾瑞克依旧很自信,那个时候的萤火虫同样可以承受如此庞大的资金需求量,但这么做并不划算。以艾瑞克这些年对好莱坞的了解。他明白,好莱坞最大的优势,就是用别人的钱拍电影,赚自己的利润。因为电影投资的风险性很大,总体来说,好莱坞的外部投资人赚到的钱并没有想象的那么多,投入好莱坞的资金每年能够产生10%到15%的利润,就已经可以算是非常丰厚的回报率了。 Naturally. Because other Film Studio do not have Eric Goldfinger, the movie invests always to compensate to gain, can therefore in ingenious the share rule by Hollywood leave itself the majority of profits. But many losses will pass the burden to the exterior investor. But this rule actually does not test regarding Firefly. Other people produce the movie are gambling, the person who Eric this can see through the dice points is actually not. With recent «Jurassic Park», if a global Box Office 1 billion USD movie, you introduced the foreign investment, finally settlement time told the investor this business not to make money, the investor having a falling out talent was not strange. 当然。因为其他电影公司并没有艾瑞克的金手指,电影投资总是有赔有赚,因此才可以凭借好莱坞内部巧妙的分成规则将大部分利润留给自己。而将更多的损失转嫁给外部投资人。但这条规则对于萤火虫来说却并不是那么试用。其他人制作电影是在赌博,艾瑞克这个能够看穿骰子点数的人却不是。就拿最近的《侏罗纪公园》来说,如果一部全球票房10亿美元的电影,你引进了外部投资,最后结算的时候告诉投资人这笔生意没赚钱,那投资者不闹翻天才怪。 In the final analysis. Hollywood the majority of movies introduce the project operational mechanism of many investor together manufacture now, to reduce investment risk. However. Regarding Firefly, this risk was smaller in front of Eric. In the Firefly withstanding range alone, deferred to the Hollywood rule to operate completely at this time again, that is not the assigned risk, but is the share benefits moistened. 说到底。好莱坞现在大部分电影引入很多投资人共同制作的项目运作机制,就是为了降低投资风险。不过。对于萤火虫来说,这份风险在艾瑞克面前却小了很多。完全在萤火虫的独自承受范围之内,这个时候再按照好莱坞的规则去运作,那就不是分担风险,而是分享利润了。 Until the breakfast finished eating, Eric has not pondered over any feasibility quite high operation plan, but a simple breakfast also unknowingly eats around 9 : 00. 直到早餐吃完,艾瑞克也没有琢磨出什么可行性比较高的运作方案,而一顿简单的早餐也不知不觉吃的了九点多。 Today is just on Monday, «Jurassic Park» new week of weekend Box Office has not stemmed from the forecast of Firefly statistical department, but «Deep Impact» weekend three days of performance actually compared with the Eric imagination is much better, has attained 4 more than 7 million USD North America Box Office, it is expected that first week Box Office likely breaks through 70 million, achieves the cost line directly, but Pixar 3D Animation movie «A Bug's Life» North America total Box Office also breaks hundred million to near. 今天刚好是周一,《侏罗纪公园》新一周的周末票房并没有出乎萤火虫统计部门的预测,而《天地大冲撞》首周末三天表现却比艾瑞克想象中的要好很多,拿到了4700多万美元的北美票房,预计首周票房很可能突破7000万,直接达到成本线,而皮克斯的3d动画电影《虫虫危机》北美总票房也破亿在即。 Soon turns in the hand newspaper time, the dings resound once more, Eric opens the door, this time actually Alan. 快要翻完手中报纸的时候,门铃声再次响起,艾瑞克打开房门,这一次倒是艾伦。 „You come just, I made Disney collect couple days ago have potential the material of computer animation work room, you find time to help me ask today that looks what kind of that they prepare, if good to have issued me the material.” “你来的刚好,前几天我让迪斯尼收集一些有潜力的电脑动画工作室的资料,你今天抽空帮我问问,看他们准备的怎么样,如果好了就把资料发给我一份。” „I know, other matters?” The Alan nod wrote down. “我知道,还有其他事情吗？”艾伦点头记了下来。 Eric shook the head, suddenly also said: „, Has not wanted to make Carolyn handle this matter, her individuality was too easy to be shy, somewhat was just awkward.” 艾瑞克摇了摇头,突然又说道:“还有,不要在让卡洛琳做这种事情了,她的个性太容易害羞了,刚刚就有些尴尬。” Alan as if knew anything, somewhat teased smiled, said: „Sorry, Eric, I have not thought that many.” 艾伦似乎知道了些什么,有些调侃地笑了笑,道:“真是抱歉,艾瑞克,我没想那么多。” „Was right, what matter do you have?” “对了,你过来有什么事情吗？” „Miss Wilson makes me ask you, today also exits to play,” teasing on Alan face. “威尔逊小姐让我问问你,今天还出不出去玩儿,”艾伦脸上的调侃更多了一些。 Eric looked at the watch, nod said: „Good, my this in the past.” 艾瑞克看了看手表,点头道:“好吧,我这就过去。” „She in downstairs you,” Alan finally said that turned around to leave. “她在楼下等你,”艾伦最后说了一句,就转身离开了。 Eric had set today's traveling schedule, he decided that the Museum Island of Berlin looks, returning to the bedroom to change shoes, tidied up simply, Eric then went out of the room. 艾瑞克本来就已经定下了今天的行程,他决定到柏林的博物馆岛去看一看,回到卧室换了一双鞋子,简单地收拾了一下,艾瑞克便走出了房间。 Sits reads magazine Carolyn to come the facial color to be usual in the hotel downstairs hall very much, when sees Eric appears, girl's cheek cannot bear red, making Eric have the impulsion that one type wants to pinch, truly speaking, this thought circled in his mind more than one. 坐在酒店楼下大厅里翻看着一份杂志的卡洛琳很来已经面色如常,不过,看到艾瑞克出现时,女孩的脸蛋还是忍不住红了一下,让艾瑞克产生一种想要捏一捏的冲动,说实在的,这种念头在他的脑海里已经盘旋了不止一遍了。 „We walk,”, although thought at heart is very evil, Eric has not actually displayed, the politeness after the girl greeted, then leads her outward to walk. “我们走吧,”虽然心里的念头很邪恶,艾瑞克却没有表现出来,很礼貌地与女孩打了声招呼之后,便带着她朝外走去。 This time Berlin is not considered as that too lively, because the cold war was divided the reason of West and East Berlin, the then Berlin majority of regions were controlled by Soviet Union, but the capital of Germany has also moved to the western Bonn. However, in 1990 thing Germany merged, all people unanimously decided that has moved back to Berlin the capital city once more, but by the abundant economic strength of West German accumulation, the infrastructure construction of Berlin was rapid. 此时的柏林并不算是太繁华,因为冷战被分割成东西柏林的缘故,当时的柏林大部分区域都被苏联控制,而德国的首都也搬到了西部的波恩。不过,在1990年东西德国合并之后,所有人一致决定,将都城再次搬回了柏林,而凭借西德积累的雄厚经济实力,柏林的基础设施建设非常迅速。 The mass transit system of Berlin is developed, or the mass transit system of entire Germany is developed, two people both have not driven, walks toward the underground station shoulder to shoulder, the Eric also only simple region two bodyguards followed, took the subway to arrive at the Berlin famous Museum Island quickly. 柏林的公共交通系统非常发达,或者说整个德国的公共交通系统都非常发达,两个人都没有开车,并肩朝地铁站走去,艾瑞克也只简单地带了两名保镖跟随,很快乘坐地铁来到了柏林著名的博物馆岛。 The egg could not bear red, making Eric have the impulsion that one type wanted to pinch, truly speaking, this thought circled in his mind more than one. 蛋还是忍不住红了一下,让艾瑞克产生一种想要捏一捏的冲动,说实在的,这种念头在他的脑海里已经盘旋了不止一遍了。 „We walk,”, although thought at heart is very evil, Eric has not actually displayed, the politeness after the girl greeted, then leads her outward to walk. “我们走吧,”虽然心里的念头很邪恶,艾瑞克却没有表现出来,很礼貌地与女孩打了声招呼之后,便带着她朝外走去。 This time Berlin is not considered as that too lively, because the cold war was divided the reason of West and East Berlin, the then Berlin majority of regions were controlled by Soviet Union, but the capital of Germany has also moved to the western Bonn.
