#616: Boss

Eric heard small girl saying that lifted the arm to knock one on the girl forehead as usual, recent matter these many, he may not have the thoughts to deal with the woman, let alone was two exactly the same women. 艾瑞克听到小妮子这么说,照例抬起手臂在丫头脑门上敲了一记,最近的事情这么多,他可没有心思去应付女人,更何况还是两个一模一样的女人。 Is around 8 : 00 pm, returns to the villa, sending the twin to prepare the supper, Eric has inspected fax, took out that side Firefly Headquarters to draw up other news releases as well as several materials that tomorrow must issue. 已经是晚上八点多,回到别墅,打发双胞胎去准备晚餐,艾瑞克检查了一下传真,取出了萤火虫总部那边已经拟定好明天要发布的新闻稿以及其他几份资料。 Although in the conference room Eric performance is confident, but in his heart is impossible not to have the anxiety. Paramount and Universal two heavyweight movies simultaneously choose before «Saving Private Ryan» screen, the goal wants in this summer files to the Firefly blow to the head, once the «Saving Private Ryan» unfavorable situation, under person with high aspirations's sedan chair guidance, the following two movies definitely also will be greatly affected. 虽然在会议室艾瑞克表现的信心十足,但他心中也不可能全无忧虑。派拉蒙和环球两部重量级影片同时选择在《拯救大兵瑞恩》之前上映,目的就是想要在这个暑期档给萤火虫当头一棒,一旦《拯救大兵瑞恩》失利,在有心人的舆伦引导下,后续的两部影片肯定也会受到很大的影响。 One side Eric places the news release, first read the Paramount «Beverly Hills Cop» series first two Box Office materials, in 1984 extrusion «Beverly Hills Cop» in obtained 230 million USD North America Box Office at the 15 million USD cost at that time, and has won the past Box Office champion, following «Beverly Hills Cop 2» also obtained 150 million USD native Box Office. Newest «Beverly Hills Cop 3» is Viacom purchases the work of Paramount later ambition, although is one does not have the black person comedy of special effect and magnificent scene, but Paramount has spent the 50 million USD production cost as before, the investment cost is equal to more than two times of same type movie. Has the referential second part sequel Box Office curve as well as recent the Hollywood Box Office growth rate according to the comparison, the Firefly internal data analysis department estimated that the «Beverly Hills Cop 3» first showing, the Thursday two days will add on first weekend three days of total Box Office to surpass 50 million USD on Wednesday. 艾瑞克将新闻稿放在一边,首先翻看起了派拉蒙《比弗利山警探》系列前两部的票房资料,1984年推出的《比弗利山警探》在当时以1500万美元的成本获得了2.3亿美元的北美票房,并且拿下了当年的票房冠军,后续的《比弗利山警探2》也获得了1.5亿美元的本土票房。最新的一部《比弗利山警探3》可谓是维亚康姆收购派拉蒙之后的野心之作,虽然是一部没有特效和大场面的黑人喜剧,但派拉蒙依旧花掉了5000万美元的制作成本,投资额相当于同类型影片的两倍多。根据比较有参考性的第二部续集票房曲线以及最近几年好莱坞票房的增长幅度,萤火虫内部的数据分析部门预计,《比弗利山警探3》首映周三、周四两天加上首周末三天的总票房将超过5000万美元。 Meanwhile. Universal «The Mummy» high is not only lower than «Beverly Hills Cop 3» in the announcement momentum. This is similar to the risk piece of 《Indiana Jones》 series, although the total investment is only 60 million USD. But this is mainly because Nicole used the form as well as the dramatic team that the salary has bought stock goes to the Moroccan shoots substantial saving of North Africa the expenditure, if did not have the measures of these two cost reductions, the «The Mummy» production cost will not be lower than 80 million similarly. Synthesizes reputation that the Universal announcement pattern, the preview as well as the preview accumulate, forecast first weekend three days of Box Office that the department gives achieves 50 million USD. 与此同时。环球的《木乃伊》在宣发声势上比《比弗利山警探3》只高不低。这部类似于《夺宝奇兵》系列的冒险片虽然总投资只有6000万美元。但这主要是由于妮可采用了片酬入股的形式以及剧组远赴北非的摩洛哥拍摄大幅度节省了开支,如果没有这两项降低成本的措施,《木乃伊》的制作成本同样不会低于8000万。综合环球的宣发模式、预告片以及试映积累的口碑,预测部门给出的首周末三天票房就达到5000万美元。 Although two have both used next week decline range generally big saturated release strategy, but defers to «Beverly Hills Cop 3» and «The Mummy» next week 40% decline range computations, if the data in hand does not have the too sweeping change, leaves «Saving Private Ryan» first weekend three days of Box Office are most also only then about 35 million, first week seven days of Box Office have 50 million USD probably. 虽然两家都使用了次周跌幅普遍较大的饱和发行策略,但按照《比弗利山警探3》和《木乃伊》次周40%的跌幅计算,如果手中的数据不发生太大变化的话,留给《拯救大兵瑞恩》的首周末三天票房最多也只有3500万左右,首周七天的票房大概也只有5000万美元。 Meanwhile. After on June 10 «True Lies» screened, four heavyweight movies built up, in addition must carve up a Box Office cannon fodder movie, although single week Box Office will attack new high, but four movies shared, «True Lies» first week Box Office also will possibly be limited in 50 million USD. 同时。6月10日《真实的谎言》上映之后,四部重量级电影集结,加上要瓜分一份票房的炮灰影片,虽然单周票房将冲击新高,但四部影片分摊下来,《真实的谎言》首周票房很可能也将被限制在5000万美元以内。 The following two weeks are Paramount «Star Trek Generations» and Warner «JAG» as well as Firefly «The Lion King». 接下来两周就是派拉蒙的《星际迷航7》、华纳的《执法悍将》以及萤火虫本身的《狮子王》。 «Star Trek Generations» and «JAG» is very big variable, Eric to some «Star Trek Generations» actually fragmentary impressions, since does not have the special memory, explained that the threat of this movie is not big. 《星际迷航7》和《执法悍将》都是很大的变数,艾瑞克对《星际迷航7》倒是有些零星印象,既然没有特别的记忆,说明这部影片的威胁不大。 Warner Film Industry receives the Clint Eastwood 《No Mercy》 Box Office award item double harvest the advantage to stimulate, the overall local ruffian who this summer the files do not attend to the western is soft. The counter potential has promoted two western writings, except for «JAG». Another is this summer files opening work «Maverick», is acted the leading role by Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster two big. 华纳影业受到克林特.伊斯特伍德《不可饶恕》票房奖项双丰收的利好刺激,今年暑期档不顾西部片的整体痞软。逆势推出了两部西部片大作,除了《执法悍将》。另外一部就是今年暑期档的开幕作品《赌侠马华力》,由梅尔.吉布森和朱迪.福斯特两位大咖主演。 However, after this movie on May 20 screened, the first weekend has only attained 13 million USD Box Office, was lower than Warner Film Industry anticipated, withdrew from competition of summer files Box Office. 不过,这部影片5月20日上映之后,首周末只拿到了1300万美元的票房,远低于华纳影业的预期,同时也退出了暑期档票房的争夺。 «JAG» similarly was Kevin Costner last year the shoots western, by Kevin Costner in the reputation that on «Dances with Wolves» accumulated, how no one can determine the «JAG» result can. 《执法悍将》同样是一部凯文.科斯特纳去年拍摄的西部片,以凯文.科斯特纳在《与狼共舞》上积累的口碑,谁也不能确定《执法悍将》的结果会如何。 Eric absolutely does not have any memory to this movie, then possibility, only then two types, one type was this movie threw in the original space and time silently, another type, this was one brand-new movie that came under the butterfly effect influence to have. Eric hopes actually the result is the former, but looks June 24 golden running schedule that the manufacture budget as well as Warner of «JAG» 63 million USD give, Eric thought that latter's possibility is perhaps bigger. 艾瑞克对这部影片完全没有任何记忆,那么可能性只有两种,一种是这部影片在原时空中无声无息的扑了,另外一种,这是一部受到蝴蝶效应影响产生的全新影片。艾瑞克倒是非常希望结果是前者,但看着《执法悍将》6300万美元的制作预算以及华纳给出的6月24日的黄金档期,艾瑞克又觉得,后者的可能性或许更大一些。 After all, Film Studio after many years of experience accumulations, before the movie opens, almost can the quality and Box Office prospect of movie makes the detailed appraisal. Although will be mistaken frequently, but this appraisal is similar to the weather predict that accurate not any guarantee, but in the general orientation presents the probability of deviation not to be big. 毕竟,电影公司经过多年的经验积累,在电影上映之前,差不多就能够对影片的质量和票房前景做出详细的评估。虽然经常会看走眼,但这种评估就如同天气预报,精确性没有任何保证,但大方向上出现偏差的几率也不大。 If the «JAG» Box Office result can be joined to its production cost and running schedule arrangement, then «The Lion King» Box Office will come under the uncertain influence similarly. 如果《执法悍将》的票房成绩真的能够配得上它的制作成本和档期安排,那么《狮子王》的票房同样将受到不可预测的影响。 These years by platform that Eric gives, originally very astute Drew, even if have not repaired nine tails, but 78 definitely had, but, the girl are also getting fewer and fewer side Eric displays astute side. Regarding the current situation, she was certainly well aware, looks at Eric to knit the brows the appearance of ponder, small girl has rubbed docilely, said: „Eric, or do I «Mission: Impossible» and «Night at the Museum» distribution rights, these copyright give back to Firefly?” 这些年凭借艾瑞克给予的平台,本来就很精明的德鲁即使没有修出九条尾巴,但78条肯定是有了,只不过,丫头也越来越少在艾瑞克身边表现出自己精明的一面。对于目前的情形,她当然心知肚明,看艾瑞克皱眉沉思的模样,小妮子温顺地蹭了过来,道:“艾瑞克,要不我把《碟中谍》和《博物馆奇妙夜》的发行权,还有那些版权都还给萤火虫吧？” The Drew sound broke the ponder of Eric, read data analysis material in the hand, Eric to is swayed by personal gains and losses to self-ridicule smiled, in his hand has that many ‚good sign’, even if this game lost , is also impossible to affect are too many, stages a comeback is. Hugs to kiss that white and tender cheek small girl, Eric says with a smile: „Naturally is not good, these may be our little strongboxes, who must not give. Right, «Forrest Gump» preparation how?” 德鲁的声音打破了艾瑞克的沉思,看了眼手中的数据分析资料,艾瑞克对刚才的患得患失自嘲地笑了笑,他手中有那么多‘好牌’,哪怕这一局真的输了,也不可能影响太多,卷土重来就是。将小妮子抱过来亲了亲那张白嫩的脸蛋,艾瑞克笑道:“当然不行,这些可都是我们的小金库,谁要都不给。对了,《阿甘正传》准备的怎么样了？” small girl shrinks in the Eric bosom, said: „The Hanks salary came to an arrangement, 8 million USD. However he hopes that we can provide enough Oscar public relations resources in the future. Moreover. The Godfather also very likes this script. Last week I and Amy was a guest to his family/home, he helped to invite Robert Zemeckis specially, Robert complied to take over this project.” 小妮子缩在艾瑞克怀里,道:“汉克斯的片酬已经谈妥了,800万美元。不过他希望我们将来能够提供足够的奥斯卡公关资源。另外。教父也挺喜欢这个剧本的。上个星期我和艾米到他家做客,他特意帮忙邀请了罗伯特.泽米基斯,罗伯特已经答应接手这个项目了。” Reason that Tom Hanks signs the «Saving Private Ryan» salary is 10 million, Eric knows him from falling the salary, very greatly possibly treated as «Forrest Gump» flushed Ao Pian, Hanks 40 years old , was immediately more urgent regarding the hope of Oscar movie king. If not «Saving Private Ryan», Hanks estimated that can be similar to original space and time such. Meets to pat «Philadelphia». Although the history presented the deviation, but by him the excellent performance in «Saving Private Ryan», as well as following «Forrest Gump», repeats the miracle that consecutively two obtain the Oscar movie king is not a impossible matter. 汤姆.汉克斯签署《拯救大兵瑞恩》的片酬是1000万,艾瑞克知道他之所以自降片酬,很大可能是将《阿甘正传》当做了冲奥片,汉克斯马上就40岁,对于奥斯卡影帝的希求也更加迫切起来。如果不是《拯救大兵瑞恩》,汉克斯估计会如同原时空那样。接拍《费城故事》。虽然历史出现了偏差,但以他在《拯救大兵瑞恩》里的出色表现,以及接下来的《阿甘正传》,重演连续两届获得奥斯卡影帝的奇迹并不是一件不可能的事情。 Hears Director Robert Zemeckis is Spielberg helps to bring both sides together, Eric is also curious, asked: „What movie was Steven preparing recently?” 听到导演罗伯特.泽米基斯是斯皮尔伯格帮忙牵线搭桥,艾瑞克也好奇起来,问道:“史蒂文最近在准备什么影片？” „No, The Godfather has held the post of Producer of several movies, heard that he and David Geffen plans to establish new Film Studio, like United Artists such that initially Chaplin coordinated, is only responsible for the movie-making not involving the release.” Drew spoke of here, but also was swinging the head. Said: „I thought that this plan radically invalid, do not make the release, do not receive seven big diversions.” “没有,教父只是担任了几部影片的制作人,听说他与大卫.格芬计划成立一家新的制片厂,就像当初卓别林牵头的联美那样,只负责制片不涉及发行。”德鲁说到这里,还摇着脑袋。道:“不过我觉得这个计划根本就行不通嘛,不自己做发行,还不是要受到七大的牵制。” The Eric book thinks that this space and time «Jurassic Park» falls to own hand, Katzenberg honestly is also treating in Disney, Spielberg should not want the independence gateway, listening to Drew this not saying that he realized, this matter should be filthy rich David Geffen leads, David Geffen was having own phonograph record and production company, the net worth surpasses 2 billion USD, last year was separated from Time Warner, Eric has refused him to ally Firefly, it is estimated that David Geffen produced afterward has established the big Film Studio thought. 艾瑞克本以为这个时空《侏罗纪公园》落到自己手中,卡森伯格也老实地在迪斯尼待着,斯皮尔伯格应该不会想要自立门户了,听德鲁这不说,他才意识到,这件事应该是财大气粗的大卫.格芬从中主导,大卫.格芬拥有着自己的唱片和制片公司,身家超过20亿美元,去年脱离了时代华纳,艾瑞克又拒绝了他加盟萤火虫,估计大卫.格芬随后就产生了成立大制片厂的念头。 Remembers the small girl final several words, Eric asks: „Won't you be in front of Steven to say?” 想起小妮子最后几句话,艾瑞克问道:“你不会当着史蒂文的面这么说了吧？” Drew hee hee shakes the head with a smile, said: „I am not the fool, The Godfather want to go all out in high spirits, I said that this words do not bring upon oneself dully.”, 德鲁嘻嘻笑着摇头,道:“我又不是傻瓜,教父兴冲冲地想要大干一番,我说这种话不是自找没趣嘛。”、 Eric smiled, although small girl in recent years and Spielberg's related to be intimate with much, but truly has not arrived to say this words situation. 艾瑞克笑了笑,虽然小妮子最近几年与斯皮尔伯格的关系亲近了不少,但也确实还没有到说这种话的地步。 Although made up a while to think in the car(riage) that Eric had the supper that the twin has prepared, has rested quickly. 虽然在车里补了一会儿觉,艾瑞克吃过双胞胎准备的晚餐,还是很快休息了下来。 Next day, day also not bright, Eric was then awakened by rapid ringtone. 第二天,天还没有亮,艾瑞克便被一阵急促的电话铃声惊醒。 Touches the microphone to place near ear murkily, the Katzenberg excited sound passed on immediately: „The news that Eric, that side the company just obtained, you can imagine, 1.72 million USD, has 1.72 million USD, haha.” 昏昏沉沉地摸过话筒放在耳边,卡森伯格兴奋的声音立刻就传了过来:“艾瑞克,公司那边刚刚得到的消息,你能想象吗,172万美元,只有172万美元,哈哈。” Eric looked under the wrist watch, but also is less than four o'clock, sighed under Katzenberg this lunatic darkly, the workaholic does not need to sleep, is so energetic. 艾瑞克看了下腕表,还不到四点钟,暗叹了下卡森伯格这疯子,工作狂难道就不需要睡觉了吗,这么精神。 Got out of bed softly, helping small girl in sleep draw Bo Tan, Eric took the cordless telephone to go out of the bedroom, although has realized anything, Eric also asked: „What 1.72 million USD?” 轻手轻脚地下了床,帮睡梦中的小妮子拉了拉薄毯,艾瑞克拿着无绳电话走出了卧室,虽然已经意识到了什么,艾瑞克还是又问了一遍:“什么172万美元？” „Naturally was «Beverly Hills Cop 3» first date Box Office, merely 1.72 million USD, only then it is expected that 30% of 6 million USD first date, Paramount hopes that this sequel can attack 200 million Box Office, now looks like, total Box Office not necessarily had 50 million USD, so long as «The Mummy» could not go out of the «Jurassic Park» Box Office curve, our ‚Ryan’ the Box Office potential will not be suppressed.” “当然是《比弗利山警探3》的首日票房,仅仅172万美元,只有预计中600万美元首日的30%,派拉蒙原本希望这部续集能够冲击两亿票房,现在看来,总票房都不一定有5000万美元,只要《木乃伊》走不出《侏罗纪公园》的票房曲线,我们的‘瑞恩’票房潜力就不会被压制。” Hears the confirmation of Katzenberg, the Eric instantaneous sleepiness does not have, why has understood also that side Katzenberg such energetic reason, hears telephone another faint sounds of people, Eric asks: „Jeffrey, you now not in company?” 听到卡森伯格的确认,艾瑞克也瞬间睡意全无,同时也理解了卡森伯格那边为什么这么精神的原因,听到电话另外一头隐隐的人声,艾瑞克问道:“杰弗瑞,你现在不会是在公司吧？” „On road that naturally, Michael also in catching up, I inform your, you have other work today, did not use, had any matter I to be able the earliest possible time to call you,” Katzenberg said these, said: „Paramount also wanted to cover this news, on-duty Manager of data department spends for two hours to attain the exact data, we are relating the media to further expand this news influence now, although the morning paper was somewhat late, but the ABC morning news will pay attention to this news with emphasis, today in the evening news of main cities will also present the special movie criticism article, even if «Beverly Hills Cop 3» is only the temporary unfavorable situation, we must make it not have any opportunity of make a comeback.” “当然,迈克尔也在赶来的路上,我只是通知你一下,你今天还有其他工作,就不用过来了,有什么事情我会第一时间打电话给你,”卡森伯格说完这些,又道:“派拉蒙本来还想要掩盖这条消息,数据部门的值班经理花了两个多小时才拿到确切数据,我们现在正在联系媒体将这条新闻的影响力进一步扩大,虽然早报已经有些迟了,但ab的早间新闻将会重点关注这条讯息,今天主要城市的晚报上也会出现专门的影评文章,哪怕《比弗利山警探3》只是暂时的失利,我们也要让它没有任何翻盘的机会。” Hangs the power failure words, Eric was relaxed immediately, such that just like Katzenberg just said that even if «Beverly Hills Cop 3» is only the temporary Box Office unfavorable situation, afterward one-sided difference will comment will also make this movie absolutely not have any opportunity of turning over, although at this matter Universal and Paramount will have faintly jointly aim at the Firefly intention, but Eric believes that that side Universal definitely also will be doing the same work. After dawn, on the media will present the massive «Beverly Hills Cop 3» negative news, but «Beverly Hills Cop 3» date 1.72 million USD dreary Box Office, lets Paramount not any rebuttal excuse. 挂掉电话,艾瑞克的心情顿时轻松了下来,正如卡森伯格刚刚说的那样,即使《比弗利山警探3》只是暂时的票房失利,随后的一边倒差评也会让这部电影完全没有任何翻身的机会,虽然这件事上环球和派拉蒙隐隐有联合针对萤火虫的意图,但艾瑞克相信,环球那边肯定也在做着相同的工作。天亮之后,媒体上将会出现大量《比弗利山警探3》的负面消息,而《比弗利山警探3》首日172万美元的惨淡票房,也让派拉蒙没有任何的反驳借口。 Once the United States home is in unfavorable situation, as reputation threw the street black person comedy, overseas Box Office do not anticipate. Although Hollywood in the comprehensive statistics the Box Office income of movie only accounts for 30% of gross income at present, other peripheral reach as high as 70%, but that also in a movie quality good situation, once the «Beverly Hills Cop 3» Box Office reputation throws the street in pairs, forms the domino effect, then this movie will be also abegging in the recording tape and television relay market. Calculates according to «Beverly Hills Cop 3» 50 million USD North America Box Office that this manufacture and cost of capital close 100 million USD comedy movie possibly gives Paramount to bring finally is not lower than the loss of 50 million USD. Regarding wants ambitiously, in Hollywood brings skills into full play Redstone, this unfavorable situation sufficed the old man anxiety some time. 美国国内一旦失利,作为一部口碑扑街了的黑人喜剧,海外票房就更不要期待了。虽然好莱坞目前综合统计中电影的票房收入只占总收入的30%,其他周边高达70%,但那也是在一部电影质量不错的情况下,一旦《比弗利山警探3》票房口碑双双扑街,形成多米诺效应,那么这部电影在录像带和电视转播市场上也将无人问津。按照《比弗利山警探3》5000万美元的北美票房来算,这部制作和发行成本接近一亿美元的喜剧片最终可能给派拉蒙带来不低于5000万美元的损失。对于正雄心勃勃想要在好莱坞大展拳脚的雷石东来说,这次失利够老头子肉疼一段时间了。 Then on only remaining «The Mummy», merely only then this movie, even if «The Mummy» slightly explodes, not will again form the suppressed function to «Saving Private Ryan», so long as «Saving Private Ryan» will display the normal Box Office standard, under the guidance of Firefly, can forms the benign competitive relations on the reputation and Box Office with afterward «True Lies». The unfavorable situation of «Beverly Hills Cop 3» was similar to a chess the match suddenly loses an important board game piece, Firefly once more won the initiative immediately. 接下来就只剩下《木乃伊》,仅仅只有这一部电影,哪怕《木乃伊》小爆一下,也不会再对《拯救大兵瑞恩》形成压制作用,《拯救大兵瑞恩》只要发挥正常的票房水准,在萤火虫的引导下,就能够在口碑和票房上与随后的《真实的谎言》形成良性竞争关系。《比弗利山警探3》的失利就如同一盘棋中对手突然失掉了一个重要的棋子,萤火虫这边立刻就再次获得了主动权。 Excited, also does not have the thought that any has rested to doze off again after waking up early, Eric wore the clothes to go downstairs ahead of time, arrives in own underground study room to process some yesterday's emails, after out of the window flood was white, left the study room, planned to exercise. 心情激动之下,也就没有了任何睡回笼觉的念头,艾瑞克穿好衣服提前下了楼,来到自己的地下书房里处理了一些昨天累计的电子邮件,等窗外泛白后就离开书房,打算锻炼身体。 The automatic valve of study room just opened, Eric saw that the twin goes down the staircase shoulder to shoulder. 书房的自动门刚刚打开,艾瑞克就看到双胞胎并肩走下楼梯。 The two sisters wear exactly the same black vest and shorts, serves as a mirror showing the slender waist and longleg that Slav girl unique fairness , the golden hair grips ponytail, the oval face is fine, even if the blue eye has not drawn the eye shadow also appears very big, the nose and mouth are very petite, among the thin eyebrow thin lips is bringing a different kind clarity. 姐妹俩穿着一模一样的黑色背心和短裤,更加反衬出纤腰和长腿那种斯拉夫女孩特有的白皙,金发扎成马尾,鹅蛋脸精致圆润,蓝色的眼睛即使没有画眼影也显得很大,鼻子和嘴巴却很娇小,细眉薄唇之间带着一种别样的清纯。 Saw after that leaf of automatic valve opens, sudden Eric, the twin stopped the footsteps as if by prior agreement, shouts with one voice: „Boss.”( To be continued.) 看到那扇自动门打开后突然出现的艾瑞克,双胞胎不约而同地停下了脚步,齐声喊道:“老板。”(未完待续。)
