#587: Some of your how much money

Chapter 588 第588章 «Waterworld» is similar to aquatic «Mad Max», similarly after is the civilization collapses the spent clay world, but establishes after the nuclear war of exhaustion of resources, establishes in the land is submerged by the sea remote in the future. +, 《未来水世界》类似于一部水上的《疯狂的麦克斯》,同样是文明崩溃之后的废土世界,只不过一个设置在资源枯竭的核战争之后,一个设置在陆地被海洋淹没的遥远未来。+, Actually becomes Box Office dud «Cutthroat Island» to the huge investment, «Waterworld» global 200 million many Box Office do not calculate that is too failed. 相对于投资巨大却成为票房哑弹的《割喉岛》,《未来水世界》全球两亿多的票房并不算是太失败。 However the manufacture circumstances of this movie are actually similar to «RMS Titanic» , because a series of overspending condition in shoots process makes the investor be unable to back down, to avoid the initial investment throws away carelessly to continue to infuse the fund for the dramatic team, «Waterworld» finally the production cost 1. 7.5 billion USD, the announcement expense always invests in addition surpasses 200 million USD, before is «RMS Titanic» , a cost highest movie. 不过这部影片的制作境遇却与《泰坦尼克号》类似,都是因为拍摄过程中的一系列超支状况让投资商骑虎难下,为了避免前期投资打水漂不得不持续为剧组注入资金,《未来水世界》最终制作成本1.75亿美元,加上宣发费用总投入超过两亿美元,是《泰坦尼克号》之前成本最高的一部电影。 But the result actually days of two movies badly leave, «RMS Titanic» has created an unprecedented Box Office record, although «Waterworld» global Box Office 200 million are many, but to the substantial investment, gave the movie-making side to cause the large amount loss as before. 只不过两部电影的结局却天差地别,《泰坦尼克号》创造了一个史无前例的票房纪录,《未来水世界》虽然全球票房两亿多,但相对于巨额投资,依旧给制片方造成了巨额的亏损。 From an observer perspective, Eric likes the story setting of «Waterworld» merely, if this movie can take «Mad Max» that type of low cost manufacture route, Eric will win this project absolutely without hesitation. But now he as Firefly Pictures Boss, in can expect in the situation of this movie prospect, Eric is will not move this project absolutely. 仅仅从一个旁观者角度来说,艾瑞克还是非常喜欢《未来水世界》的故事设定,如果这部影片能够走《疯狂的麦克斯》那种低成本制作路线,艾瑞克绝对会毫不犹豫地拿下这个项目。但现在他作为萤火虫影业的老板,在能够预料到这部影片未来前景的情况下,艾瑞克是绝对不会触碰这个项目的。 Moreover, in Kevin Costner has intended in the situation of «Waterworld» playing the «Mission: Impossible» series, Eric hopes that «Waterworld» can make same mistakes over again, like this them can have the initiative in the «Mission: Impossible» sequel salary negotiations. 而且,在凯文.科斯特纳已经有意在《未来水世界》之前出演《碟中谍》系列的情况下,艾瑞克就更希望《未来水世界》能够重蹈覆辙,这样在《碟中谍》续集片酬谈判上他们这边就能够掌握主动权。 Amy and Drew can feel clearly Eric reads «Waterworld» script time is somewhat absent-minded. Drew knows that Eric looked script time will frequently have this condition. But this will not affect him regarding a judgment of script. Amy Pascal thought that Eric this type absent-minded perhaps is because does not favor to this movie. 艾米和德鲁都能够清晰地感觉到艾瑞克翻看《未来水世界》剧本的时候有些心不在焉。德鲁知道艾瑞克看剧本的时候经常会出现这种状况。但这并不会影响到他对于一个剧本的判断。艾米.帕斯卡尔则觉得艾瑞克这种心不在焉或许是因为对这部影片不太看好。 Really, when Eric turns script fast, the expression has not seen the script excitement, said to Amy: „The matter of this project have you discussed with Kevin Costner?” 果然,艾瑞克快速翻完剧本,表情没有丝毫看到好剧本时的兴奋,对艾米道:“这个项目的事情你跟凯文.科斯特纳谈过吗？” Amy shakes the head saying: „Did not have, I am when with the Kevin Costner that side, because «Mission: Impossible» negotiates, inquired that Kevin Costner individual Production Studio is relating this project, the Brokerage Firm ma plan of Kevin Costner gives big Film Studio this project pack sales promotion.” 艾米摇头道:“还没有,我是在与凯文.科斯特纳那边因为《碟中谍》进行谈判的时候,打听到凯文.科斯特纳个人的制作公司正在联系这个项目,凯文.科斯特纳的经纪公司ma打算将这个项目打包推销给大制片厂。” After Eric hears ‚pack’ this word, knits the brows slightly, although now Hollywood aa, ma and im three Brokerage Firm the confrontation among three forces. That article that because he initially published, another two companies imitated the aa pack strategy, three years ago let Spielberg's Director godship greatly harmed «Hook» is the aa pack project. 艾瑞克听到‘打包’这个词后微微皱眉,虽然现在好莱坞aa、ma和im三家经纪公司三足鼎立。但因为他当初发表的那篇文章,另外两家公司都模仿起了aa的打包策略,三年前让斯皮尔伯格的导演神格大受损害的《霍克船长》就是aa的打包项目。 Several years ago initially enters Hollywood, Eric according to the memory thought that the Brokerage Firm pack strategy causes the authority over expansion of manager, simultaneously lets the salary and filmmaking cost of star is getting higher and higher, along with placing Hollywood is getting more and more long, Eric also knows about of Brokerage Firm this pack strategy is deeper, the Brokerage Firm Film Studio of pack strategy to the harm that causes is not limited to this by far, the personnel of pack project movie dramatic team according to the Brokerage Firm recommendation, although can be accommodating. But leeway of choice often is not big, this also caused a Lord of movie project to create often not the suitable this movie. Finally creates the failure of movie, Spielberg's «Hook» is the most classical example. 几年前初入好莱坞,艾瑞克只是根据记忆觉得经纪公司的打包策略使经纪人的权力过度膨胀,同时让明星的片酬和电影制作成本越来越高,随着身处好莱坞越来越久,艾瑞克也对经纪公司这种打包策略了解更深,经纪公司的打包策略对电影公司造成的危害远远不止于此,打包项目电影剧组的主创人员都是根据经纪公司推荐的,虽然可以变通。但选择的余地往往不大,这也就造成了一个电影项目的主创往往并不适合这部影片。最终造成电影的失败,斯皮尔伯格的《霍克船长》就是最经典的例子。 Failure of substantial investment is to the Film Studio biggest harm, is getting bigger and bigger along with the movie investment scale, the influence that this harm has is also getting more and more serious. 巨额投资的失败才是对电影公司最大的损害,随着电影投资规模越来越大,这种损害造成的影响也就越来越严重。 Like «Waterworld» in hand, the movie that if wants shoots this aquatic spent clay style, without a doubt, most suitable Director by «Mad Max» George Miller of series becoming famous overnight, «Waterworld» in original space and time from the clothing to the background completely was to the imitation of «Mad Max», finally only imitated an outer covering. 就像手中的《未来水世界》一样,如果想要拍摄这部水上废土风格的电影,毫无疑问,最适合的导演是凭借凭借《疯狂的麦克斯》系列一举成名的乔治.米勒,原时空中的《未来水世界》从服装到布景完全就是对《疯狂的麦克斯》的模仿,结果就是只模仿到了一个外壳。 In the Eric memory Director of this movie is actually Kevin Reynolds, moreover movie shoots delays finally, Kevin Reynolds is incapable of controlling the aspect, in addition had a premonition that «Waterworld» could end, throws up one's job directly does not do. Can want to see, if most started to choose right Director, the «Waterworld» result will not be definitely dreary. 艾瑞克记忆里这部影片的导演却是凯文.雷诺兹,而且影片拍摄拖延到最后,凯文.雷诺兹无力掌控局面,再加上预感到《未来水世界》可能要完,直接撂挑子不干了。可以想见,如果最开始选对了导演,《未来水世界》的结局肯定不会那么惨淡。 „Since is the pack project, we do not participate, Flower Films cannot present any failure now,” Eric gives Amy script, said: „When this matter has not happened, arranges «Mission: Impossible» with single-hearted devotion.” “既然是打包项目,我们就不要参与了,花朵影业现在可不能出现任何失败,”艾瑞克将剧本递给艾米,又说道:“就当这件事没有发生过,专心筹备《碟中谍》吧。” Amy hears ‚failure’ this word, raised the eyebrow, thought slightly Eric really does not favor this project. However, she also quickly realizes other meanings in Eric words, shows a smile of understanding clearly. 艾米听到‘失败’这个单词,微微挑了挑眉,心想艾瑞克果然不看好这个项目。不过,她也很快意识到艾瑞克话里的其他意思,露出一个了然的微笑。 If the «Waterworld» failure, that can definitely be the «Mission: Impossible» sequel saves a big salary. 如果《未来水世界》失败,那肯定能够为《碟中谍》续集节省一大笔片酬。 Looked at the time, soon to 12 o'clock, Kevin Costner immediately must come, Amy hastily forces in «Waterworld» script the package. 看了看时间,即将到12点钟,凯文.科斯特纳马上就要过来,艾米连忙将《未来水世界》的剧本塞进包里。 Kevin Costner brought manager to go to the dining room quickly, although knows that initially «Dances with Wolves» that matter was Eric operates in the back, was about several years passes, the matter also desalinated, after all, Hollywood was a gambling house, everybody decided to buy to the hand, recognized the gambling to concede, if took to heart to a success or failure, that impossible to survive radically in Hollywood. 凯文.科斯特纳很快带着经纪人来到了餐厅,虽然知道当初《与狼共舞》那件事是艾瑞克在背后操纵,不过几年过去,事情也已经淡化,毕竟,好莱坞就是一场赌局,大家买定离手,认赌服输,如果对一场成败耿耿于怀,那根本就不可能在好莱坞生存下去。 Both sides have decided «Mission: Impossible» various details using the lunchtime finally, although recommends some Brian De Palma this horror film Director anxieties to Eric, but does not have to arrive to suspect the Eric vision in the people of sitting silly. 双方利用午餐时间最终敲定了《碟中谍》的各种细节,虽然对艾瑞克推荐布莱恩.德.帕尔马这个恐怖片导演有些疑虑,但在坐的人都没有傻到去怀疑艾瑞克的眼光。 Considered that the Kevin Costner age, regarding «Mission: Impossible» of this space and time, Eric also only plans to manufacture three, after all, after three, only if Kevin Costner reduces the salary on own initiative, otherwise at the acting the leading role salary increase scope of Hollywood series movie , to continue Film Studio to be equal to that again was giving the star to work. 考虑到凯文.科斯特纳的年龄,对于这一时空的《碟中谍》,艾瑞克也只打算制作三部,毕竟,三部之后,除非凯文.科斯特纳主动降低片酬,否则以好莱坞系列电影的主演片酬涨幅,再继续下去电影公司就等于在给明星打工了。 However, so long as copyright of «Mission: Impossible» series in hand. After the trilogy. Puts aside ten years eight years. Waits for influence of Kevin Costner to this series to desalinate, this project can restart as before once more, can hit dozen of mood sign anything while convenient. 不过,只要《碟中谍》系列的版权在手。三部曲之后。搁置个十年八年。等凯文.科斯特纳对这个系列上的影响力淡化,这个项目依旧可以再次重启,顺便还可以打打情怀牌什么的。 Because of the manufacture of Kevin Costner eagerly «Waterworld», running schedule card unusual is anxious, «Mission: Impossible» after deciding a series of hosts has created, fast was in the manufacture stage, Columbia had also determined that placed the end of the year the running schedules of «Mission: Impossible» series. 因为凯文.科斯特纳急于《未来水世界》的制作,档期卡的非常紧张,《碟中谍》在敲定了一系列主创之后,就快速进入了制作阶段,哥伦比亚也同时确定将《碟中谍》系列的档期放在年底。 Arranges «Mission: Impossible», Eric while paying attention to the ABC acquisition negotiation. Also concentrated on a series of soon manufacturing as well as since the late movie on. 安排好《碟中谍》,艾瑞克在关注ab收购谈判的同时。又将大部分精力放在了一系列即将制作以及进入后期的电影上面。 Summer in the middle of the files three movies, «The Lion King» has completed, but another two movie Kathryn Bigelow «Saving Private Ryan» and Cameron «True Lies» was in the final editing stage, Eric had felt relieved regarding Cameron, therefore excessively has not intervened «True Lies». Before «Saving Private Ryan» filmed, Eric had looked at the Kathryn shoots massive scene, and is satisfied, the most important Normandy landing operation with the top special effect technical support of digital domain, appears compared with original shocks. But the Kathryn Director style and original differ very in a big way, therefore Eric has to frequently appear in the editing room. Therefore also often causes seeking vengeance of Kathryn, the woman actually because of the Eric meddling editing. More is complained Eric does not trust, in the expression also will occasionally have the small hidden bitterness that some she has not been realizing. 暑期档三部电影当中,《狮子王》已经完成,而另外两部影片凯瑟琳.毕格罗的《拯救大兵瑞恩》和卡梅隆的《真实的谎言》都进入了最后剪辑阶段,艾瑞克对于卡梅隆非常放心,因此并没有过多干预《真实的谎言》。在《拯救大兵瑞恩》封镜之前,艾瑞克就已经看过了凯瑟琳拍摄的大量镜头,并且非常满意,最重要的诺曼底登陆战在数字领域的顶尖特效技术支持下,比原版显得更加震撼。只不过凯瑟琳的导演风格与原版相差很大,因此艾瑞克不得不经常出现在剪辑室里。因此还不时引起凯瑟琳的报怨,女人倒不是因为艾瑞克的插手剪辑。更多的却是埋怨艾瑞克的不信任,语气里偶尔还会带着些她自己都没意识到的小幽怨。 These are the movie that Firefly will soon show, Eric also must pay attention to «The Lost World: Jurassic Park» and «Independence Day» arrangement condition, these two movie estimates in the second half of the year starting, because Eric does not plan to continue the Director «Jurassic Park» series again, therefore the choice of Director has spent a big time. 这些都是萤火虫即将上映的影片,艾瑞克同时还要关注《侏罗纪公园2》和《独力日》的筹备状况,这两部影片预计将在下半年开机,因为艾瑞克不打算再继续导演《侏罗纪公园》系列,因此导演的选择费了好大的一番功夫。 Except for the movie of Firefly this unit, was in finally the work stage with «Men in Black» that Columbia cooperated, running schedule similarly in summer, another movie «Jumanji», because the special effect resilience was quite big, was placed the end of the year. 除了萤火虫本部的影片,与哥伦比亚合作的《黑衣人》也进入了最后之作阶段,档期同样在暑期,另外一部影片《勇敢者的游戏》因为特效工程量比较大,则被放在了年底。 DreamWorks that side 《Charlie's Angels》 also almost completes the final manufacture, DreamWorks has planned to start three movies this year, this year can complete for three years ten plans, therefore, Eric also has to branch out enough energy for that side, found time to choose another two works, has written the «Resident Evil» story program, gave screenwriter to complete script. Meanwhile he was also the «007» sequels that Metro Goldwyn Mayer will soon start has supplied ideas, since Sophie already went to Ireland along with the «Braveheart» dramatic team, Eric then deferred to the normal order to give the ideas of «007 GoldenEye», but Famke Janssen wanted certainly shoots «File» during «GoldenEye» shoots, Eric has not given her the villain female main role. 梦工厂那边的《霹雳娇娃》也差不多完成了最后的制作,梦工厂今年计划启动三部影片,这年才能够完成三年十部的计划,因此,艾瑞克也不得不为那边分出足够的精力,抽空挑选了另外两部作品,又写出了《生化危机》的故事大纲,交给编剧们去完成剧本。同时他还为米高梅即将启动的《007》续集出谋划策了一番,既然苏菲已经随着《勇敢的心》剧组去了爱尔兰,艾瑞克便按照正常的顺序给出了《007之黄金眼》的构思,只不过法米克.詹森在《黄金眼》拍摄期间肯定要拍摄《档案》,艾瑞克就没有将反派女主的角色给她。 In the trivial matters of these night and day, the time arrived in March quickly, this year's Oscar was arranged in March 21, must be early more than past several years. 在这些连轴转的琐事之间,时间很快来到了三月份,今年的奥斯卡被安排在了3月21日,比以往几年都要早很多。 However, in early March, Hollywood most pays attention instead is not forthcoming Oscar, people another matter captured the attention. 不过,三月初,好莱坞最关注的反而不是即将举行的奥斯卡,人们都另外一件事吸引了目光。 Yesterday evening because the «Independence Day» matter and Roland Emmerich chatted to be very late, in addition a period of time rushing about, Eric the plan today has a long lazy sleep, but the time just eight o'clock, Eric hurriedly rushed in Elizabeth of bedroom to make an effort to push to awake. 昨天晚上因为《独力日》的事情与罗兰.艾默里奇聊到了很晚,再加上最近一段时间的奔波,艾瑞克本打算今天睡个懒觉,但时间才刚刚八点钟,艾瑞克就被风风火火闯进卧室的伊丽莎白使劲推醒。 „Eric, is quick, you look at this issue of «Forbes» magazine, newspaper......” the Elizabeth expression somewhat is rapid, but also is bringing slightly some excited. “艾瑞克,快起来啊,你看这一期的《福布斯》杂志,还有报纸……”伊丽莎白的语气有些急促,还带着些小兴奋。 Eric woke blurry, puts out a hand to hug the girl before the body has rubbed rubbing, said: „Do not quarrel, I rest the little while again.” 艾瑞克迷迷糊糊地醒了过来,伸手将女郎搂在身前蹭了蹭,道:“别吵,我再睡会儿。” „You now are the federal richest family, but also rests!” Elizabeth has hit several on Eric. “你现在是联邦首富啦,还睡！”伊丽莎白在艾瑞克身上打了几下。 Eric heard «Forbes» time just knows what happened, the Forbes rich and powerful people list about latest issue, Eric and Steve Forbes had discussed in telephone several times, finally has determined a digit, although these time as before was not the Eric real sale price, but actually purchased the negotiations of ABC TV Network to be most advantageous to this Firefly Pictures. 艾瑞克听到《福布斯》的时候就知道发生了什么事情,关于最新一期的福布斯富豪榜,艾瑞克与史提夫.福布斯在电话里商议过好几次,最终才确定了一个数字,虽然这一次依旧不是艾瑞克的真实身价,但却对这次萤火虫影业收购ab电视网的谈判最有利。 „19 700 million, cannot think that you had these much money, and has been higher than entire 10 billion USD compared with second Warren Buffett.” Elizabeth sees Eric to depend on the bed to compare, has to lie in his side said. “197亿呀,想不到你有这么多钱了,而且比第二名的沃伦.巴菲特高出了整整100亿美元。”伊丽莎白见艾瑞克赖在床上比起来,只好趴在他身边说道。 „This above digit do you also believe?” Eric has leaned the body, said. “这上面的数字你也信？”艾瑞克侧过身体,说道。 Elizabeth has gawked staring, said: „What meaning?” 伊丽莎白愣了愣,道:“什么意思？” Eric said: „This digit is I and Steve Forbes reaches an agreement, therefore is inaccurate, you blindly have also created a disturbance, helping me make the breakfast.” 艾瑞克道:“这个数字是我和史提夫.福布斯商量好的,所以并不准确,你也跟着瞎起哄了,帮我做早餐去。” „Breakfast has completed,” Elizabeth was saying, made an effort to push Eric: „You said that some of your how much money?” “早餐已经做好了啊,”伊丽莎白说着,使劲推了推艾瑞克:“那你说,你到底有多少钱？” Eric saw with own eyes that definitely cannot continue to rest, opened in front of that «Forbes» magazine of eye brings Elizabeth, looked, said: „You looked that above did not say, because of the eruption of film and television industry, in the middle of these 19 700 million USD properties, 190 USD belongs to Firefly Pictures, has 700 million USD other properties. If, only then these many, you thought that Chris can also play the evil intention to purchase Limited now?” 艾瑞克眼见肯定不能继续睡下去,睁开眼睛将伊丽莎白面前的那份《福布斯》杂志拿过来,看了看,道:“你看,上面不是说了,因为影视产业的爆发,这197亿美元的资产当中,190美元都属于萤火虫影业,只有7亿美元的其他资产。如果真的只有这么多,你觉得克里斯现在还能够玩恶意收购ltd吗？” Elizabeth purchases the Limited matter to hear regarding New York Chris actually, if Firefly invests to the public attracts the fund, then must certainly set up Board of Directors, but the Firefly investment company such had not actually done, this also means that the money of Firefly investment company should be Eric majority. At present Chris in New York to purchase Limited, has started out over 2 billion USD price, even if this is a leveraged buyout, not having enough fund, Chris not to dare such to play absolutely, hears Eric saying that Elizabeth came the interest, have a relish asked: „You said that some of your how much money?” 伊丽莎白对于纽约克里斯收购ltd的事情倒是有所耳闻,如果萤火虫投资向公众吸引资金的话,那么肯定要设立董事会,但萤火虫投资公司却一直都没有这么做,这也就意味着,萤火虫投资公司的钱大部分都应该是艾瑞克的。眼下克里斯在纽约为了收购ltd,已经开出了超过20亿美元的价格,即使这是一起杠杆收购,没有足够的资金,克里斯也绝对不敢这么玩儿,听到艾瑞克这么说,伊丽莎白来了兴致,饶有兴致地问道:“那你说说,你到底有多少钱啊？” Elizabeth purchases the Limited matter to hear regarding New York Chris actually, if Firefly invests to the public attracts the fund, then must certainly set up Board of Directors, but the Firefly investment company such had not actually done, this also means that the money of Firefly investment company should be Eric majority.
