Afterward several days, «Braveheart» is getting higher and higher in Hollywood attention, after knowing Mel Gibson does not have first to accept the condition that Firefly Pictures put forward, several other big Film Studio have studied «Braveheart» script, then started to contact Mel Gibson suddenly. ¤ 随后几天,《勇敢的心》在好莱坞的关注度越来越高,当得知梅尔.吉布森并没有第一时间接受萤火虫影业提出的条件后,其他几大电影公司研究了一番《勇敢的心》的剧本,然后一拥而上地开始接触梅尔.吉布森。¤ Because «Braveheart» and 30 year ago that sensational epic poem piece of «Ben-Hur» with belonging, plot has the places of many equally good results from different methods, what coincidence is, «Ben-Hur» screenwriter named Lew Wallace, but «Braveheart» screenwriter is Randall Wallace, both surname is just same, after incorrectly relayed an erroneous message, some people even started «Braveheart» compare with Hollywood second part «Ben-Hur». 因为《勇敢的心》和三十年前那部轰动一时的《宾虚》同属于史诗片,剧情方面更是有很多异曲同工之处,更加巧合的是,《宾虚》的编剧名叫卢.华莱士,而《勇敢的心》编剧是兰道.华莱士,两者姓氏刚好相同,经过一些以讹传讹,有人甚至已经开始将《勇敢的心》比作好莱坞第二部《宾虚》。 In 1960 screening «Ben-Hur» obtained more than 70 million USD Box Office in then 50 cents price situations, average 4 USD about the price computations at 1993, was equal to at this time the five. 600 million USD. In entertainment form more and more diverse immediately, 5. 600 million USD North America native place Box Office Hollywood several big Film Studio cannot think that temporarily, even if has 5. 600 million USD half, makes Hollywood all Film Studio sufficiently crazy. 1960年上映的《宾虚》在当时50美分的票价情况下获得了7000多万美元的票房,以1993年平均4美元左右的票价计算,相当于此时的5.6亿美元。在娱乐形式越来越多样化的当下,5.6亿美元的北美本土票房好莱坞几大电影公司暂时还是不敢想的,但哪怕只有5.6亿美元的一半,也足以让好莱坞所有电影公司为之疯狂。 Eric has not thought that the matter will develop afterward situation, perhaps is receives the media to add the stimulation that Hollywood jointly hounds, the Mel Gibson self-confidence inflates, proposed to the negotiations personnel who the Firefly movie-making department sends such as enhances the salary and is divided into and increases the investment as well as the movie absolute control power and other series of severe conditions. The investment surpasses the big manufacture of 50 million USD mainly to make money, Oscar improving on perfection in profit foundation, in the original space and time «Braveheart» Box Office did not have what splendidly place. Eric only then the brain burnt out will accept the Mel Gibson condition. Negotiated in the fruitless situation. Eric simply gave up to keeping up of this project. 艾瑞克也没有想到事情会发展到随后的地步,或许是受到媒体加好莱坞联合追捧的刺激,梅尔.吉布森自信心膨胀,对萤火虫制片部门派去的谈判人员提出了诸如提高片酬和分成、增加投资以及影片绝对控制权等一系列苛刻条件。投资超过5000万美元的大制作主要还是为了赚钱的,奥斯卡只是在利润基础上的锦上添花,原时空中《勇敢的心》票房本就没有什么出色地地方。艾瑞克只有脑子烧坏了才会答应梅尔.吉布森的条件。谈判无果的情况下。艾瑞克干脆放弃了对这个项目的跟进。 As for Sophie that side, was knowing that the same day of news exposition, Eric once more telephoned she, told the Sophie matter to present the accident very much honestly. Sophie also very much simply expressed own angry, but also ridiculed Eric, but in the expression has meaning that several points of sentiment | the world is acting like a spoiled brat throughout. 至于苏菲那边,在得知消息暴露的当天,艾瑞克就再次打电话她,很坦诚地告诉苏菲事情出现了变故。苏菲也很干脆地表示了自己的气恼,还将艾瑞克嘲笑了一番,只不过语气里却始终带着几分情丨人间撒娇的意味。 Although «Braveheart» regarding other Film Studio is together the sweetie pie, but regarding Eric is actually only a nonchalant interlude, the matter that he must pay attention to was really too many. 虽然《勇敢的心》对于其他电影公司来说是一块香饽饽,但对于艾瑞克却只是不经意的一道插曲,他要关注的事情实在是太多了。 In early August. Kathryn Bigelow arranges long time «Saving Private Ryan» personally in Ireland official starting, although Eric cannot go in person Europe, actually as before is maintaining to this movie the attention, every other day will explore the shoots issue with a Kathryn telephone. 八月上旬。凯瑟琳.毕格罗亲自筹备良久的《拯救大兵瑞恩》在爱尔兰正式开机,虽然艾瑞克不能亲赴欧洲,却依旧对这部影片保持着关注,三天两头就会与凯瑟琳通一次电话探讨拍摄问题。 Meanwhile, «True Lies» also starts shoots in Washington, some movie quality absolutely guarantees of Cameron, Eric only when he will burn money will be too ruthless the routine business to strike, naturally, will be basically useless. 与此同时,《真实的谎言》也在华盛顿开始拍摄,卡梅隆的电影质量绝对有保证,艾瑞克只会在他烧钱太狠的时候例行公事地敲打一下,当然,基本上没什么用。 In addition, continuously has also been completed the larger part by the Katzenberg personally responsible 2D Animation piece «The Lion King» manufacture progress. If although carries on rushing a job, at the end of the year can also screen. But Eric actually insisted that has placed next year this movie. 此外,一直由卡森伯格亲自负责的2d动画片《狮子王》制作进度也完成了一大半。虽然如果进行一番赶工的话,年底也可以上映。但艾瑞克却坚持将这部影片放在了明年。 These were in the plan in 1994 summer the principal movie of files, at the end of the year «Ace Ventura 2» and of «Interview with the Vampire» and Quentin running schedule «Pulp Fiction» methodically was manufacturing. 这些都是计划中1994年暑期档的主打影片,年底档期的《神探飞机头2》、《夜访吸血鬼》和昆汀的《低俗小说》都在有条不紊地制作着。 In addition, «Jurassic Park» second part has been included in the manufacture plan of Firefly naturally, after Roland Emmerich completes «Deep Impact», starts to arrange «Independence Day», Eric must often pay attention to with the surplus several movies of Sony Film Industry cooperation, DreamWorks Film Studio that finally newly established, 《Charlie's Angels》 has determined three Heroine as well as Director, and started the screen test work of secondary Actor. 除此之外,《侏罗纪公园》的第二部理所当然地列入了萤火虫的制作计划,罗兰.艾默里奇完成《天地大冲撞》之后,也开始筹备起了《独力日》,艾瑞克还要不时关注一下与索尼影业合作的剩余几部影片,最后就是刚刚成立的梦工厂电影公司,《霹雳娇娃》已经确定了三位女主角以及导演,并且开始了次要演员的试镜工作。 Although 90% work do not need Eric own strength to kiss are, but these projects equal, the total investment surpasses 1 billion USD, needs the Eric attention the matter to pile up to make him the foot not moisten personally as before every day busily. 虽然这其中90的工作都不需要艾瑞克亲力亲为,但这些项目合计起来,总投资超过十亿美元,需要艾瑞克亲自关注的事情堆积起来依旧让他每天忙碌地脚不沾地。 Beside movie, Murdoch after several days of considerations, has no other choice in the removing stock plan that complied with Firefly Pictures to propose the majority of conditions, both sides started to wrangle on some details finally, it is expected that in mid September can complete the complete equity transaction, to not direct the person informer as far as possible, this matter carried on unusual was low-key, Murdoch and Eric personally have not participated in the negotiations. 电影之外,默多克经过几天的考虑,还是不得已答应了萤火虫影业提出的撤股方案中大部分条件,双方开始就最后一些细节进行扯皮,预计九月中旬就可以完成全部股权交易,为了尽量不引人耳目,这件事情进行的非常低调,默多克和艾瑞克都没有亲自参与谈判。 Sits in the Firefly Pictures Headquarters office, Eric at this time actually and telephones in Chris of Northern Europe. 坐在萤火虫影业总部的办公室里,艾瑞克此时却在与远在北欧的克里斯通电话。 After one month of negotiations, the Nokia purchase case was in the conclusion stage, Chris has attained the Nokia two-way charges for cellular phones department 51% stocks by 420 million USD smoothly, has realized the absolute holding. Although the premium surpasses 20%, but looks like in Eric, this transaction absolutely is the cabbage is not good. 经过一个月的谈判,诺基亚的收购案已经进入了收尾阶段,克里斯以4.2亿美元顺利拿到了诺基亚移动通讯部门51%的股份,实现了绝对控股。虽然溢价超过20%,但在艾瑞克看来,这笔交易绝对是白菜的不行。 Eric is taking the microphone and Chris was discussing sets up the matter that the company realizes to avoid taxes in Ireland, the gate of office was shoved open suddenly, Eric gains ground, saw that the Elizabeth eye rushed red, meanwhile has to stretch Drew of small face, Tina Fey is shrinking the neck to follow in two females behind, notes Eric to look to oneself, Tina Fey has pushed the pushing eye toward Eric, is suggesting anything likely. 艾瑞克正拿着话筒与克里斯谈着在爱尔兰设立公司实现避税的事情,办公室的门突然被人推开,艾瑞克抬起头,看到伊丽莎白眼睛红红地闯了进来,同时还有绷着小脸的德鲁,蒂娜.菲缩着脖子跟在两女身后,注意到艾瑞克看向自己,蒂娜.菲朝艾瑞克挤了挤眼睛,像是在暗示什么。 Actually, even without the suggestion, looks before Elizabeth and Drew arrive at oneself desk, one on the left and other on the right mutually leaves the distant setting air/Qi appearance, Eric almost can think that what happened. 其实,即使不用暗示,看着伊丽莎白和德鲁走到自己办公桌前,一左一右相互离得远远的置气模样,艾瑞克差不多就能够想到发生了什么事情。 Said with Chris several made the telephone call in a hurry, Eric has not opened the mouth, Elizabeth suffering from injustice was pointing at Drew, said: „Eric, you told her, did you have with my Papa have discussed the TG's matter.” 与克里斯说了几句匆匆挂了电话,艾瑞克还没开口,伊丽莎白就委屈地指着德鲁,说道:“艾瑞克,你告诉她,你有没有跟我爸爸谈过tg的事情。” Eric just nodded, the Drew indignation did not say: „I also know to discuss, but Eric had not accepted your Papa condition at that time, you deceive my.” 艾瑞克刚刚点头,德鲁就不忿地说道:“我也知道谈过,可艾瑞克那个时候可没有答应你爸爸的条件,你骗我的。” Elizabeth has pulled out sniffing suffering from injustice, looks suddenly to Eric: „You tacitly approved obviously.” 伊丽莎白委屈地抽了抽鼻子,猛然看向艾瑞克:“你明明默认了的。” After that morning, small girl vanished continuously for several days, Eric has also thought that matter has solved, has not thought that they were actually make evidently stiffly. 那天早上之后,小妮子连续消失了几天,艾瑞克还以为那件事已经解决了呢,没想到看样子两人却是闹得更僵了。 Must say that then that telephone conversation, Eric had already not agreed that had not opposed, understands right, at this time looks that the opposite two eyes closely are staring at themselves. Eric not good deviation any one side. Only can set out to draw two females to move toward on the sofa of receiving callers area to sit down together. Said: „What situation you now are, first said?” 要说当时的那次通话,艾瑞克既没有同意也没有反对,怎么理解都没错,此时看着对面两双眼睛都紧紧盯着自己。艾瑞克不好偏向任何一边。只能起身拉着两女一起走向会客区的沙发上坐下。道:“你们现在是什么情况,先说说吧？” Drew is supine the small face to complain immediately righteously: „She refuses stubbornly to acknowledge that has deceived me.” 德鲁立刻仰着小脸理直气壮地告状:“她死不承认骗了我。” „Why saying that I deceive you, Eric tacitly approved obviously,” Elizabeth also excited. “凭什么说我骗你,艾瑞克明明默认了的,”伊丽莎白也激动了起来。 „Your this dead swindler,” Drew has ridiculed one. “你这个死骗子,”德鲁又揶揄了一句。 Perhaps puts in great inconvenience at heart, Elizabeth cannot bear again, one jumps to throw toward Drew. 或许是心里委屈至极,伊丽莎白再也忍不住,噌地一下跳起来朝德鲁扑去。 Eric sees that goes forward to separate two females hastily, looks that two females were separated by oneself have not forgotten to stretch out the small claw to grasp to the opposite party. Eric somewhat does not know whether to laugh or cry said: „Fights, cannot grasp toward cheek on, is my.” 艾瑞克见状连忙上前隔开两女,看着两女被自己隔开还不忘伸出小爪子抓向对方。艾瑞克有些哭笑不得地说道:“打架可以,不许往脸蛋上抓,都是我的。” These words just fell, Elizabeth opened Little Bai tooth to nip on the Eric arm, small girl is not glad immediately, oneself did not hate to nip, why you first end opening, therefore also worked on the Eric arm to gnaw. 这句话刚落,伊丽莎白张开小白牙就咬在了艾瑞克手臂上,小妮子立刻不乐意了,自己都舍不得咬呢,凭什么你先下口,于是也抓起艾瑞克手臂啃了上去。 In the office exudes a as if very pitiful cry, after a while, Eric sits on the sofa again. The shirt sleeve pulls, looks at one on the left and other on the right on two arms the red crescent moon. Sighed, side disregards Tina Fey that covers mouth to laugh at secretly as before, looked to sitting in the opposite already honestly many two females: „Good, this matter is my fault, at that time had not talked clearly, have not made, defers to the plan that I and Rupert reached an agreement at that time, opinion?” 办公室里发出一声似乎非常凄惨的叫声,过了一会儿,艾瑞克再一次坐在沙发上。衬衫袖子挽起,看着一左一右两条胳膊上红红的月牙。叹了口气,无视旁边依旧捂着嘴窃笑的蒂娜.菲,望向坐在对面已经老实了许多的两女:“好吧,这件事算是我的失误,当时没说清楚,你们也别闹了,就按照我和鲁伯特当时商量好的方案,还有意见吗？” Drew curled the lip, turns too small head not to speak. 德鲁只是撇了撇嘴,扭过小脑袋不说话。 Elizabeth shook the head, some compunctions are looking on the Eric arm red tooth seal, suddenly has dangled the head, she somewhat was afraid, actually she also realized that this matter is family/home old man pit oneself, but faces small girl to clamp the question of rifle sling stick, strive to excel Elizabeth is always more impossible to acknowledge one have lain, but is the daughter, cannot aim at the father the spear point, therefore such has refused to compromise, towed for several days to run up to front of Eric finally ‚confrontation’. 伊丽莎白摇了摇头,有些内疚地望着艾瑞克手臂上红红的牙印,突然又垂下了脑袋,她心里本来就有些心虚,其实她也意识到,这件事是自己家老头坑了自己,但面对小妮子夹枪带棒的诘问,一向好强的伊丽莎白就更不可能承认自己撒谎了,但做女儿的,也不能将矛头指向父亲吧,于是就这么僵持了下来,拖了几天最终不得不跑到艾瑞克面前‘对质’。 „Since does not have the opinion, that this, Drew, Tina, you first go back, I and Liz discussed something.” “既然没意见,那就这样,德鲁,蒂娜,你们俩先回去吧,我和莉兹谈些事情。” small girl light snort|hum, stands up indignantly outward walks, although Tina Fey at heart somewhat small does not abandon, but quickly followed. 小妮子轻哼了一声,愤愤不平地站起身朝外走去,蒂娜.菲虽然心里有些小小的不舍,但还是很快跟了上去。 The office gate just closed, Elizabeth such as the housefly said on the sound in a low voice: „Eric, sorry, I do not know my Papa to be able like this.” 办公室门刚刚合上,伊丽莎白就声如蚊蝇地低声道:“艾瑞克,对不起,我不知道我爸爸会这样。” „consider as finished, this matter I can do accounts with your Papa slowly,” looks that Elizabeth gains ground suddenly, Eric added one with a smile: „You could rest assured that absolutely is not doing accounts on physical strength.” “算了,这件事我会和你爸爸慢慢算账的,”看着伊丽莎白突然抬起头,艾瑞克笑着又加了一句:“你放心,绝对不是体力上的算账。” Before Elizabeth remembers Eric, quickly has asked own that question, has smiled, no longer asked favor for oneself that not good father, arrived at their this Pyramid top layer capital social stratum in any case, flew into a rage, was unlikely achieving to let the situation that the opposite party lost everything, has spoken haltingly, Elizabeth was looking at the arm of Eric, asked weakly: „You...... Hasn't hurt sorely?” 伊丽莎白很快想起艾瑞克以前问过自己的那个问题,笑了一下,却也不再为自己那个无良父亲求情,反正到了他们这种金字塔顶层的资本阶层,就算急了眼,也不太可能达到让对方倾家荡产的地步,嗫嚅了下,伊丽莎白望着艾瑞克的手臂,弱弱地问道:“你……还疼不疼？” Eric put out a hand to rub rubbing in a tooth seal, said with a smile: „Has been all right, waits for me to get rabies vaccine.” 艾瑞克伸手在一个牙印上揉了揉,笑道:“没事了,等下我去打一针狂犬疫苗。” Elizabeth threw has smiled one, wanted to look for the thing to throw to Eric, on the sofa of office has not actually held the pillow, can only give a Eric supercilious look: „You drew back from Fox TV Network, was plans to purchase TV Network?” 伊丽莎白扑哧地笑了一声,想要找东西扔向艾瑞克,办公室的沙发上却没有抱枕,只能给艾瑞克一个白眼:“你从福克斯电视网退出来了,是打算收购电视网吧？” „Un, this plan had already been decided that promotes Fox TV Network, but avoids the legal trouble.” “嗯,这个计划早就确定了,推出福克斯电视网,只是避免法律上的麻烦。” Firefly maintains the stock at Fox TV Network, the relational association of both sides is closer, Firefly withdraws at this time, although Elizabeth in the heart some do not abandon, but also knows that reason, somewhat loses said: „Now TG also has dispersed, that said that we later what related does not have?” 萤火虫在福克斯电视网保持股份,双方的关系总会更加密切一些,萤火虫此时撤出,伊丽莎白虽然心中有些不舍,但也知道这其中的缘由,有些失落地说道:“现在tg也散了,那岂不是说,我们以后就什么关系都没有了？” Eric said with a smile: „What's wrong, can you fling me?” 艾瑞克笑道:“怎么,你要甩了我啊？” Some Elizabeth vision hidden bitterness: „Your that many women, heard that you went to that recently frequently to Spanish sisters there, but also serves a need to care about me?” 伊丽莎白目光有些幽怨:“你那么多女人,听说你最近经常去那对西班牙姐妹那里,还用得着在乎我么？” Eric said without hesitation: „Naturally, I care about my each woman.” 艾瑞克毫不犹豫地说道:“当然,我在乎我的每一个女人。” The Elizabeth heartbeat as if sped up several points, actually refuses to admit being inferior said: „Your these words may be really shameless enough.” 伊丽莎白心跳似乎加快了几分,却不甘示弱地说道:“你这句话可真够无耻的。” „I did not deny that you know in any case.” Eric shrugs: „You, Drew said that you will go to 20th Century Fox to hold the post of Vice Chairman, what makes specifically?” “我就不否认了,反正你们都知道了。”艾瑞克耸了耸肩:“你呢,德鲁说你会去二十世纪福克斯担任副总裁,具体做什么？” „Film Studio the result not has been ideal for these years, Papa makes me be in charge of the movie-making, but also continues to hold a concurrent post of TG's CEO.” “电影公司这边成绩这几年一直不太理想,爸爸让我主管制片,还继续兼任tg的ceo。” Speaking of TG, Eric remembered has pestered that on TG greatly troublesome, asked: „That side Jim Carrey reached an agreement?” 说到tg,艾瑞克想起一直纠缠在tg身上的那个大麻烦,问道:“金.凯瑞那边谈好了吗？” „Un, came to an arrangement, he has signed three pieces to make once more, salary in addition 5% gain sharing of 15 million USD.” “嗯,已经谈妥了,他已经再次签了三部片约,1500万美元的片酬外加5%的利润分成。” Hollywood more and more top superstar started to request the movie to be divided into the treatment for these years, Eric is not accidental regarding this pricetag, if other superstar, although Film Studio the meeting is willing to give similar high price, but will not sign three absolutely one time. But the Jim Carrey Box Office rallying point is stable, although started to reach the peak from «The Mask», but the present is in the prosperous time of enterprise in the two years as before, in addition the Jim Carrey movie cost has been low, signs such price, Fox will not take on the too big risk. 好莱坞这几年已经越来越多的顶级巨星开始要求影片分成待遇,艾瑞克对于这个价码也不意外,如果是其他一线巨星,电影公司虽然会愿意给出类似的高价,但绝对不会一次性签署三部。但金.凯瑞的票房号召力非常稳定,虽然从《变相怪杰》开始就已经达到了巅峰,但这两年现在依旧处于事业的鼎盛时期,再加上金.凯瑞的电影成本一直比较低,签署这样的价格,福克斯并不会担太大的风险。 Eric is thinking these matters, asked: „I have not heard the «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» matter for a long time, do you plan such to arrange this TV series?” 艾瑞克想着这些事情,又问道:“我好久没有听到《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》的事情了,你们打算这么安排这部电视剧？” „On September 28 the first broadcast, Elizabeth thinks probably”, nodded: „Truly was on September 28, because this was a vampire movie of theme quite young audiences, although also some people thought that can divide at the youth campus singularly varied play, proposed that before 《Friends》 did derived set, but the final outcome decided that before «X-Files» did derived set, this was safer, Eric, you thought how many receptions this TV series can attain?” “大概九月28日首播吧,”伊丽莎白想了想,又点了点头:“确实是九月28日,因为这是一部题材比较小众的吸血鬼电影,虽然也有一些人觉得可以划分到青春校园奇幻剧上,提议用《老友记》做前导集,但最终结果还是决定用《x档案》做前导集,这样更稳妥一些,艾瑞克,你觉得这部电视剧能够拿到多少收视？” original «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» can form one to pursue the play unrest in the Time Warner scale very small wb TV Station broadcast, at this time places has covered entire US Fox TV Station, has the audience foundation that «X-Files» trains, the viewing ratio and «X-Files» should not be the issue impartially. 原版的《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》在时代华纳旗下规模很小的wb电视台播放都能形成一股追剧风潮,此时放在已经覆盖全美的福克斯电视台,又拥有《x档案》培养出来的观众基础,收视率与《x档案》持平应该不是问题。 But Eric does not dare to vouch, said: „Joss Whedon script is very splendid, if in your shoots process has not changed like the movie version randomly, the viewing ratio should have the safeguard, as for can be any degree, I do not dare to say.” 但艾瑞克也不敢打包票,道:“乔斯.韦登的剧本是非常出色的,如果你们拍摄的过程中没有像电影版那样乱改的话,收视率应该有保障,至于能够达到什么程度,我就不敢说了。” Elizabeth hears in the Eric expression is indefinite, does not have heart on too, TV series of high viewing ratio that does not appear after all, four big TV Station every day three hours of prime times, except some variety shows and holiday special programs outside, TV series that the average every week must broadcast no less than ten, but support viewing ratio often only then such 12. 伊丽莎白听到艾瑞克语气里的不确定,也没有太心上,高收视率的电视剧毕竟不是那么出现的,四大电视台每天三个小时的黄金时段,除去一些综艺节目和节日特别节目外,平均每周要播放的电视剧不少于十部,但支撑收视率的往往只有那么12部。 Abandons this matter, Elizabeth asks: „You just said that something must talk to me, is what?” 抛开这件事,伊丽莎白问道:“你刚刚说有事情要跟我谈,是什么？” „What does not have, casually chatted, for a long time has not gone to your there, tonight is what kind of?” “没什么啊,就是随便聊聊天,好久没去你那里了,今晚怎么样？” „Julia is not at home,” Elizabeth just blurted out these words, had realized immediately deficiency, the complexion becomes glowing red, does not dare to look at the Eric look again.( To be continued please search the floating astronomy, the novel is better to renew is quicker! “茱莉亚不在家啊,”伊丽莎白刚刚脱口而出这句话,立刻就意识到了其中的不妥之处,脸色变得红彤彤的,不敢再去看艾瑞克的眼神。(未完待续请搜索飄天文學,小说更好更新更快!
