“嗨,潘妮,最近怎么样?”与杰弗里和詹姆斯聊了一阵,艾瑞克又开始在其他宾客当中应酬起来。Penny Marshallhintedtotwoguests, the opposite partyhad the meaningful glanceto turn aroundto leavevery much: „The old style, receivedbigpile of scriptto invite, but was not satisfied, thereforedecided the restsome time. Inotlikeyou, suchquicklynonstopshootssecond partmovie.”潘妮马歇尔向身旁两个客人示意了一下,对方很有眼色地转身离开:“还是老样子,接到了一大堆剧本邀约,不过都不怎么满意,所以决定休息一段时间。我可不像你,这么快就马不停蹄地拍摄第二部电影。”Ericsaid with a smile: „Mythisalsohas no recourse, that manypeoplewaitto look atmyjoke, Inaturallymustreadtothemthink. «17 Again»Box Officealready70 millionUSD?

“好了,你们就不要再相互恭维了,我听得都有些反胃。”詹姆斯布鲁克斯突然插了进来:“艾瑞克,我有件事要跟潘妮商议一下…”„Naturallydoes not have the issue,”Ericnodded, turns aroundto walktowardotherpeople.
“当然没问题,”艾瑞克点了点头,转身向其他人走去。
The cocktail partywill soon finishtime, Erichas blockedKapoor that wantsto depart: „Kapoor, comeswithme, has a matter to withyoudiscuss.”
酒会即将结束的时候,艾瑞克拦住了想要离去的卡普尔:“卡普尔,跟我来一下好吗,有件事情要跟你商量。”Kapoornodded, arrives attwobuildingstudioswithErictogether.

The placeby the window, oncehad been madebyEricby the piano of returning goods.卡普尔点了点头,跟着艾瑞克一起来到二楼书房。书房里显得有些散乱,占据一面墙壁的写字板上,当初的剪报已经被清理掉,此时密密麻麻地贴满了艾瑞克手绘的《风月俏佳人》的分镜头。靠窗的地方,曾经被退货的钢琴又被艾瑞克弄了回来。Kapoortothisroomdifferentscattered in disorderstylesomesurprise, othervillaaspects is very obviously neat, suddenlywill come here personto have a feeling of being incompatible.卡普尔显然对这个房间迥异的散乱风格有些诧异,别墅其他方面都很整洁,突然来到这里的人都会产生一种格格不入的感觉。Severalfolders of Ericon the deskforces in the bookshelf, explained: „Hereisplace that Icreate, the sanitation engineerdoes not permit, thereforeis somewhat chaotic.”艾瑞克将书桌上几个文件夹塞进书架,解释道:“这里是我创作的地方,清洁工是不允许进来的,所以有些乱。”„Doesn't Drewlivehere?”
“德鲁不是住在这里吗?”Ericextracts a chairto giveKapoor: „Girldoes not havethisself-consciousness, Ioccasionallyreorganize.”艾瑞克抽出一张椅子递给卡普尔:“丫头可没这个自觉性,也就我自己偶尔整理一下。”„Youcannotfavorher.”Kapoorsmiles the suggestionto say.
“你不能太宠着她了。”卡普尔微笑着建议道。Ericshrugshad not repliedthatforces in onebox of magnetic tape the tape recorder, presses down the broadcastkey: „Kapoor, welisten tothisfirst.”艾瑞克耸了耸肩没有回答,将一盒磁带塞进录音机里,按下播放键:“卡普尔,我们先听听这个。”Kapoorknows that Ericwill not be aimless, listenedwithEric.卡普尔知道艾瑞克不会无的放矢,和艾瑞克一起听了起来。
The accompaniment of lively rhythmresounds, spreads the extremelyinfluentialsinging soundquickly.
节奏明快的伴奏响起,很快传出极富感染力的歌声。* It.must.have. been.love,

After severalminutes, the songbroadcastsquickly, Ericasked: „Kapoor, do youthinkwhat kind of?”
几分钟后,歌曲很快播放完,艾瑞克才问道:“卡普尔,你觉得怎么样?”Kapoortold the facts: „ThisaspectIunderstood that is nottoomany, inthissongpoweris very strong, the voice of femalesingeralsohas the paroxysm. Eric, do welisten tothisdoing?”卡普尔实话实说道:“这方面我懂得不是太多,这首歌感染力里很强,女歌手的嗓音也极具爆发性。艾瑞克,我们听这个干什么?”„Iplanned that takes the 《Pretty Woman》interludewiththissong. Howeverthisis not main, Kapoor, have youthought the United Talent Agencyfuture?”
“我打算用这首歌作为《风月俏佳人》的插曲。不过这不是主要的,卡普尔,你想过UTA的未来吗?”Kapoornodded: „Naturallyhas thought that wehave signedAl Pacino, ifyour《Pretty Woman》canobtain the success, in additionJulia Roberts, so long asthere aretwosuperstarto support the field, ourBrokerage Firmcanstand firmin the field, United Talent Agency is very after all small, ourstepscannotbe too anxious.”卡普尔点了点头:“当然想过,我们已经签下了阿尔帕西诺,如果你的《风月俏佳人》能取得成功的话,再加上茱莉亚罗伯茨,只要有两位巨星撑场,我们的经纪公司就能在业界站稳脚跟了,UTA毕竟还很小,我们的步伐不能太急。”Ericsaid: „Youhave not thoughtdevelopstootheraspects?”艾瑞克道:“难道你就没有想过向其他方面发展?”„Youweresay...”Kapoorlooked at a tape recorder: „Singer?”
“你是说…”卡普尔看了一眼录音机:“歌手?”Ericnodded: „Actor of moviesandtelevisiontwocirclesbasicallyhad been carved upbytheselarge and smallBrokerage Firm. Wewantto expandinthisaspect, can only carry onto win over a popular actor from another company by offering higher payandtrainslowly. However the music worldactuallytogetherlocates|female, toohas not taken seriouslythisserviceincludingCreative Artists Agencythesegiantspresent, thisis a good opportunity that wetry another method.”艾瑞克点了点头:“电影和电视两个圈子的演员基本上已经被那些大大小小的经纪公司瓜分完毕了。我们想要在这方面壮大,只能慢慢地进行挖角和培养。不过音乐界却还是一块处丨女地,连CAA这些巨头们现在都还不太重视这一块的业务,这是我们另辟蹊径的一个好机会。”In the 90'sorgolden age of recording industry, Eric, whenprepares the 《Pretty Woman》interlude, looks forin the movieafter an effortfamousthat《It Must Have Been Love》, discovered that the singerRoxettecombinationhas not gone out ofSwedennow.
九十年代还是唱片业的黄金时代,艾瑞克在准备《风月俏佳人》插曲的时候,经过一番努力才找电影里著名的那首《It.must.have.been.love》,发现演唱者罗克塞特组合现在还没有走出瑞典。
The previous lifeRoxettecombinationhas enlivenedfully for more than tenyears, afterNorth Americamakes a debut, firstsingle of thiscombinationissuetosweep away the stanceto win the champions of 24nationalmusicsinglelists. HowthispotentialstockEricpossiblylets off.前世罗克塞特组合整整活跃了十多年时间,在北美出道后,这个组合发布的第一首单曲就以横扫姿态拿下了24个国家音乐单曲榜的冠军。这种潜力股艾瑞克怎么可能放过。„Thatsong that Kapoor, wejustheard, the singeris the Roxettecombination of Swedencrest of wavevigor, how manypeoplesuchreaches the notice boardfirst place the songnot to listensufficientlynow, thereforethisis our opportunity, do youunderstand?”
“卡普尔,我们刚刚听到的那首歌,演唱者是瑞典风头正劲的罗克塞特组合,这样一首足以登上公告牌榜首的歌曲现在还没有多少人听过,所以这是我们的一个机会,你明白吗?”Kapoorsaid: „It seems like, ImustrunpersonallySweden.”卡普尔道:“看来,我要亲自跑一趟瑞典了。”„Naturally, the quicker the better, sincethissongIcan unable to find, otherRecord Company will quickly also note, after allthey the visioninthisaspectare more specialized than me, leaveourtimenot to be many.”
“当然,越快越好,这首歌既然我都能找得到,其他唱片公司也很快会注意到,毕竟他们在这方面的眼光比我要专业,留给我们的时间不多。”„Eric, do youwantto establishRecord Company?”
“艾瑞克,你要成立唱片公司吗?”Ericshook the head: „NowestablishedRecord Companyalsotooearly, mycurrentcenter of gravityat the movie, after taking the Roxettebrokercontract, the concreteoperator schemaalsoneedsyouto try to find out.”艾瑞克摇了摇头:“现在成立唱片公司还太早了,我目前的重心还是在电影上,拿下罗克塞特的经纪合约之后,具体的操作模式还需要你自己摸索。”
The Kapoornodindicatedto understandthattheyalsodiscussedsomedetails, the opposite partyset outto say goodbye.卡普尔点头表示明白,两人又商议了一些细节,对方才起身告辞。Packed offKapoor, Micheal Klaushas collectedquickly: „Eric, sowas long, «Resident Evil»had not finished, aren't youalways the quickringer?”
送走了卡普尔,迈克尔克劳斯很快凑了上来:“艾瑞克,都已经这么久了,《生化危机》还没有写完吗,你不一向都是快枪手吗?”
Last glossaryjust a invitedfemaleattendanthears, the girlcasts a sidelong glancesubconsciouslyEricbelow, wantsto smiledoes not dareto smile, the smallfacetwistsslightly, carries the trayto be thrown into confusionwalkstoward the kitchen.
最后一个词汇刚好被请来的一个女侍应生听到,那女孩下意识瞟了一眼艾瑞克的下面,想笑又不敢笑,小脸微微扭曲,端着托盘手忙脚乱地向厨房走去。
A Ericfaceis depressed: „Michael, youcannotpay attention to a pointin a moment, ifjustthatgirlunknowinglyyousaid that disclosed that has not knownhowthesegossiptabloid newspaperwill arrangeme.”艾瑞克一脸郁闷:“迈克尔,你说话就不能注意一点,如果刚刚那女孩不经意把你说的话透露出去,还不知道那些八卦小报会怎么编排我呢。”Micheal Klausdid not have the sincerityto grinto sayvery much the soundwas sorry, carvedas before, butdoes not abandonclosely examined«Resident Evil».迈克尔克劳斯很没诚意地咧嘴道了声抱歉,依旧锲而不舍地追问《生化危机》。„Was good, takes away.”Ericlooked for the draft, givesMichael: „Contract was the same withbefore, youdid wellhave sentsignwelltome.”
“好了,拿去吧。”艾瑞克将稿子找了出来,交给迈克尔:“合同还跟以前一样,你弄好了送来给我签约就好。”Was saying, Drewhas bravedsuddenly, the manuscript that seesMichaelglance through, was shoutingthrew: „Feeds, Eric, Ihave not looked.”
正说着,德鲁突然冒了出来,看到迈克尔正在翻阅的书稿,叫嚷着扑了过来:“喂喂,艾瑞克,我还没看完呢。”MichaelextendsarmseveralTaiji Tuishouto cut the watermelon, the smallclaw that the parrygirlextends, has forced in the manuscript the package, does not pay attention toDrewanti-| discussed that said: „Eric, Ifirstwalked, bye.”迈克尔伸出手臂几下太极推手切西瓜,挡开丫头伸过来的小爪子,将书稿塞进了包里,不理会德鲁的抗丨议,说道:“艾瑞克,那我就先走了,再见。”Then, Michaelcarriespackageto have no more to do with walk, probablybehind the smalldemonstaris pursuing.
说完,迈克尔拎起包拔腿就走,好像后面有一只小魔星在追赶似的。„Was good, cannotdeliberately create trouble.”Erichas knockedon the Drewforehead: „The matter that youskip classesIhave not done accountswithyou, secretlygivesmytelephone messageto erase the principalunexpectedly.”
“好了,不许胡闹。”艾瑞克在德鲁脑门上敲了一下:“你逃课的事情我还没跟你算账呢,竟然还偷偷把校长给我的电话留言删掉。”Drewdid not haveimposing manner of making threatening gesturesinstantaneously, turned into a cleverlittle girl, at the back ofboth hands, butinlookcunningas before: „Sorry, Eric, Ido not dare.”德鲁瞬间没有了张牙舞爪的气势,又变成了一个乖巧的小女孩,背着双手,只不过眼神里的狡黠依旧:“对不起,艾瑞克,我再也不敢了。”In the Ericlookis bringingdignifiedly: „Drew, did youtouchthesethings?”艾瑞克眼神里带着凝重:“德鲁,你是不是又碰那些东西了?”Drewshakes the headhastily: „Does not have, does not have, Iledseveralschoolmatesto go to the rosebowlto lookto compete, Eric, Ihad pledgedthatno longerbumpedthesethingsabsolutely.”德鲁连忙摇头:“没,真的没有,我只是带着几个同学去玫瑰碗看比赛了,艾瑞克,我发过誓,绝对不再碰那些东西。”Relaxed, Erichugged the girlin the bosomhas heldhugging, rememberedDrewjust the words, suddenlycould not bearlaugh in spite of trying not tohas been clapping a palm of the handon the girlsmallbuttocks: „YourprincipalsItelephonesomewhatare when no wonder breathless, youdo not learn, but alsoyourschooltheseobedientfemalesteaching people bad things.”
松了一口气,艾瑞克将丫头搂在怀里抱了抱,想起德鲁刚刚话,突然忍不住失笑着在丫头小臀上拍了一巴掌:“怪不得你们校长给我打电话时有些气急败坏,你自己不学好,还把你们学校那些乖乖女给教坏了。”Drewyingwarnedone, has arched the archin the Ericbosom, lifted the smallface saying: „Eric, my severalfemaleschoolmatesveryattractiveOh, wantmeto introduce that knewtoyou, locates|female, Ihave inspectedspecially.”德鲁嘤咛一声,在艾瑞克怀里拱了拱,抬起小脸道:“艾瑞克,我那几个女同学都很漂亮哦,要不要我介绍给你认识,都还是处丨女呢,我特意检查过。”„Volume...”
“额…”In the Ericmindappearscertainpictures, ininstantaneouswinddisorderly: „Has deliberately created trouble, hurriesto sleep, began schoolcannotgo outbefore.”艾瑞克脑海里浮现出某些画面,瞬间风中凌乱:“太胡闹了,赶紧睡觉去,开学之前不许出门。”„Snort, is really overbearing, was careful that Iconsideryouto detain the young girl.”
“哼,真霸道,小心我告你圈禁少女。”
