#620: Greedy woman

In 1994 summer files because of «Saving Private Ryan» and fierce struggles between two evenly matched opponents of «True Lies» two movies brought unusual fiery, the third week of June, Paramount Pictures «Star Trek Generations» screened, this cost only then 35 million USD science fiction film, although reorganized from the classical science fiction beautiful play, but as if has not met the visual need of audience, the first weekend three days only attained million USD Box Office, arranged between first «True Lies» and third «Saving Private Ryan», have not displayed to be able slightly with two imposing manners of big piece fighting, marched into to screen fourth. Although «The Mummy» of week Box Office has achieved 160 million USD, but the Box Office potential also basically exhausts, lost «Saving Private Ryan» to «True Lies» and threat of. 1994年暑期档因为《拯救大兵瑞恩》、《真实的谎言》两部电影的龙争虎斗而被带的异常火热,六月的第三周,派拉蒙影业的《星际迷航7》上映,这部成本只有3500万美元的科幻片虽然改编自经典科幻美剧,但似乎并没有满足观众的视觉需求,首周末三天只拿到00万美元票房,排在第一名的《真实的谎言》和第三名《拯救大兵瑞恩》之间,丝毫没有表现出能够与两部大片争锋的气势,步入上映第四。周的《木乃伊》虽然累计票房已经达到1.6亿美元,但票房潜力也基本耗尽,失去了对《真实的谎言》和《拯救大兵瑞恩》的威胁。 Moreover, June 27 «The Lion King» will cause the possibility of impact is very small to two Live-Action Film, after all the audience difference of Live-Action Film and animated cartoon is very big, let alone «True Lies» and «Saving Private Ryan» two movies are also the R-rated pieces, the possibility of mutual influence is lower. 而且,6月27日的《狮子王》会对两部真人电影造成冲击的可能性也很小,毕竟真人电影和动画片的受众区别很大,更何况《真实的谎言》和《拯救大兵瑞恩》两部电影还都是r级片,相互影响的可能性就更低。 Eric initially was also worried that Warner spends western «JAG» that 63 million USD builds becomes «True Lies» and «Saving Private Ryan» harvests the hindrance of Box Office, good reputation that but exposes to the «The Lion King» small scale preview, «JAG», although has also conducted the preview, but entire movie criticism appears silent, under this condition, so long as the people of some general knowledge know slightly what happened, the «JAG» reputation is not definitely ideal, but film critic under the Warner public relations, has not disclosed this news before large-scale screening, therefore. Eric also firmly calmed down has hesitated some uncertain guess. «JAG» should not be new piece that because the butterfly effect produces. But should throw the street in the original space and time silently. In this case, Eric did not have any to worry, Firefly after «True Lies» second week weekend Box Office drew a charge, lively has held the glee feast in Beverly Hills Manor Susnet Tower Hotel. 艾瑞克当初还担心华纳耗资6300万美元打造的西部片《执法悍将》会成为《真实的谎言》和《拯救大兵瑞恩》收割票房的阻碍,但相对于《狮子王》小规模试映展露出的良好口碑,《执法悍将》虽然也举办了试映,但整个影评界都显得无声无息,这种状况下,只要稍微有些常识的人都知道发生了什么事情,《执法悍将》的口碑肯定非常不理想,只不过影评人在华纳的公关下,并没有在大规模上映之前透露这个消息,因此。艾瑞克也确定了心中一直犹疑不定的某个猜测。《执法悍将》应该不是因为蝴蝶效应产生的新片。而应该是在原时空中无声无息地扑街了。这种情况下,艾瑞克就没有了任何担忧,萤火虫在《真实的谎言》第二周周末票房出炉之后,就热热闹闹地在比弗利山庄日落塔酒店举办了庆功宴。 Because the interview work of Victoria’s Secret angel terminates to around 6 : 00 pm, Eric directly rushes to Susnet Tower Hotel from Playa Vista. 因为维密天使的面试工作一直到下午六点多才完结,艾瑞克就直接从普雷亚维斯塔赶往日落塔酒店。 During «True Lies» is in as before screens, therefore this glee feast appears quite the high-sounding talk, not only spread red carpet, but also invited large quantities of reporters. In order to continue to drum up support for Box Office of movie. 《真实的谎言》依旧处于上映之中,所以这次庆功宴显得颇为高调,不但铺了红毯,还邀请了大批的记者。以便继续为电影的票房造势。 Eric embarked somewhat was late, has also met trafficking jams on the road, arrives at Susnet Tower Hotel already 7 : 15, accepts the media reporter who the invitation comes to think will not have the star to appear again, had planned to leave, sees the appearance of Eric, has welled up altogether completely. Is good receives the reporters who the invitation comes to obey the custom because of these, in addition regarding Eric now the status scruples, has not inquired about any sensitive issue. 艾瑞克本来出发就已经有些迟了,在路上还遇到了堵车,到达日落塔酒店已经七点一刻,接受邀请前来的媒体记者本来以为不会再有明星出现了,本来已经打算离开,看到艾瑞克的出现,一股脑地全部涌了上来。好在这些受到邀请前来的记者都非常守规矩,再加上对于艾瑞克现在身份的顾忌,并没有询问什么敏感的问题。 Eric accepted the interview to enter the hotel patiently, Firefly some management and «True Lies» dramatic team members welcomed. 艾瑞克耐心地接受完采访走进酒店,萤火虫的一些高管和《真实的谎言》剧组成员就已经迎了出来。 11 have greeted with the people. Before Eric arrives at the Cameron body, just about to teases several on «Saving Private Ryan». Sees Cameron Linda Hamilton, then has not pulled to this topic, but exchanged greetings warmly several, everybody together walks toward the banquet hall. 与众人11打过招呼。艾瑞克来到卡梅隆身前,刚要就《拯救大兵瑞恩》调侃几句。看到卡梅隆身边的琳达.汉密尔顿,便没有扯到这个话题上,只是热情地寒暄了几句,大家就一起朝宴会厅走去。 Bustled about a day of work, Eric did not have too many mental efforts to treat with courtesy other people, has dealt with several with the guest who some said something to smooth things over on own initiative, before Eric then arrived at Mr. and Mrs. Cameron the body, to Linda Hamilton said: „Linda, can lend me Jim one, can our something discuss?” 忙碌了一天的工作,艾瑞克也没有太多心力去应酬他人,与一些主动搭讪的宾客应付了几句,艾瑞克便来到卡梅隆夫妇身前,对琳达.汉密尔顿道:“琳达,可以把吉姆借给我一下吗,我们有些事情要谈？” „Naturally does not have the issue,” Linda Hamilton has lifted raising glass toward Eric, walks toward other places refreshedly. “当然没问题,”琳达.汉密尔顿朝艾瑞克举了举杯,爽快地朝其他地方走去。 Eric can see that Cameron and Linda Hamilton did not have the initial chummy vigor, in the memory they have delayed to 1997 reluctantly marry, but the marriage also only maintained for one -and-a-half years to pat two to disperse, but Eric actually does not know that Cameron this time can also meet Suzy Amis this with the woman who his disposition most agreed with. 艾瑞克能够看得出卡梅隆与琳达.汉密尔顿已经没有了当初的热乎劲儿,记忆中两人一直拖延到1997年才勉强结婚,但婚姻也只维持了一年半就一拍两散了,只不过艾瑞克却不知道卡梅隆这次还能不能遇到苏茜.艾米斯这个与他性格最为契合的女人。 Cameron looks at the back that Linda Hamilton leaves following the Eric vision, has sighed with emotion one bewilderedly: „Woman!” 卡梅隆顺着艾瑞克的目光看着琳达.汉密尔顿离开的背影,莫名其妙地感慨了一句:“女人啊！” Eric can hear Cameron this feeling absolutely incessantly to a Linda Hamilton person, said with a smile: „Won't you receive to attack really?” 艾瑞克听得出卡梅隆这句感慨绝对不止冲着琳达.汉密尔顿一个人,笑道:“你不会真的受到打击了吧？” „Naturally does not have,” Cameron denied immediately, but hesitant under said: „I watched that movie, Kathryn have shot was truly good.” “当然没有,”卡梅隆立刻否认,但犹豫了下还是说道:“我去看了那部电影,凯瑟琳拍的确实很棒。” „Was good, did not say her,” Eric has patted under the shoulder of Cameron: „Since this time lost, that will win next time is, therefore, when you do plan to start to arrange «RMS Titanic»?” “好了,不说她了,”艾瑞克拍了下卡梅隆的肩膀:“既然这次输了,那下次赢回来就是,所以,你打算什么时候开始筹备《泰坦尼克号》？” Cameron thinks that said: „I and Linda plan to go to Hawaii to take vacation next month, at the end of the year can start to arrange. However, Eric, I thought that 70 million is definitely insufficient, therefore this time we might as well enhance the movie-making cost to 100 million USD directly, like this can I also arrange the fund well?” 卡梅隆想了想,道:“我和琳达打算下个月去夏威夷度假,年底就可以开始筹备。不过,艾瑞克,我觉得,7000万肯定是不够的,所以这次我们不如直接把制片成本提高到一亿美元吧,这样我也可以更好地安排资金？” Eric is holding the chin, disguised hesitant a while, ‚pushing someone take on a difficult job’ said: „This I can promise you, you also the quick custom each time has made in any case the movie to burn down that much money, but, only then 100 million USD, this time cannot exceed expenditures absolutely, you should know that Firefly Group now is not I, if exceeds expenditures, these shareholders will jump to gesticulate absolutely.” 艾瑞克托着下巴,假装犹豫了一会儿,才‘勉为其难’道:“这个我可以答应你,反正你也已经快习惯每次拍电影都烧掉那么多钱了,不过,只有一亿美元,这次绝对不能超支,你应该知道萤火虫集团现在已经不是我一个人的了,如果超支的话,那些股东绝对会跳出来指手画脚一番。” The production cost that Cameron figures out in private is 150 million USD, the cost of which movie but Hollywood did not have to be so high, he thought that he raises, Eric will reject absolutely at the scene, even possible to reduce this project, Cameron recently already has had more and more ideas to the manufacture of «RMS Titanic», the project was chopped this matter is he is absolutely undesired. Therefore, Cameron is calculating at heart, first mentioned 100 million USD the cost with Eric, behind...... The matter person, patted to half does not have money, except for continue supplement, but can also have any means that cannot let the project rotten tail. 卡梅隆私下盘算的制作成本是1.5亿美元,不过好莱坞还没有过哪部电影的成本这么高,他觉得自己提出来,艾瑞克绝对会当场拒绝,甚至可能将这个项目砍掉,卡梅隆最近已经对《泰坦尼克号》的制作产生了越来越多的想法,项目被砍这件事是他绝对不希望看到的。因此,卡梅隆心里盘算着,先与艾瑞克将成本提到1亿美元,后面……事不由人啊,拍到一半没钱了,除了继续追加,还能有什么办法,总不能让项目烂尾吧。 Therefore, Eric said that Cameron very refreshedly ‚complying’, but also pats the chest to vow solemnly that guarantees saying: „Does not have the issue absolutely, Eric, this time I ensure cannot exceed expenditures again, otherwise my one cent Director salary does not want.” 因此,艾瑞克这么说,卡梅隆很爽快地‘答应’了下来,还拍着胸口信誓旦旦地保证道:“绝对没问题,艾瑞克,这次我保证绝不会再超支,否则我一分钱导演片酬都不要了。” Two not good fellows are holding respective small planning. Quickly and discussed the concrete plan of project seriously. And also teamed up Jon Landau to draw Cameron Producer together. 两个无良的家伙抱着各自的小算计。很快又一本正经地讨论起了项目的具体计划。并且还将卡梅隆的制作人搭档乔恩.兰道一起拉了过来。 Eric and Cameron discussed this matter time. Nobody was not tactful to disturb, but, discussed that «RMS Titanic» topic, just separated, Eric saw that men and women walked toward him. 艾瑞克与卡梅隆讨论这件事的时候。一直都没有人不识趣地过来打扰,不过,讨论完《泰坦尼克号》的话题,刚刚分开,艾瑞克就看到一对男女朝他走了过来。 Eric have a relish sized up several lip angles to lead a tall and slender girl of mole, knows that this absolutely was not the coincidence, but, he took back the look quickly. A middle-aged man of Royal Court woman side that face full beard welcomed, to a woman, Eric regards as important this personal appearance and Harvey Weinstein has several phase splitting alike Fatty, Joel Silver. 艾瑞克饶有兴致地打量了几眼唇角带着一颗美人痣的高挑女郎,知道这绝对不是什么巧合,不过,他很快收回眼神。朝女人身旁那个一脸大胡子的中年男人迎了过去,相对于一个女人,艾瑞克更看重这个身形与哈维.韦恩斯坦有几分相像的胖子,乔.西尔沃。 Although in Hollywood, Jerry Bruckheimer and Jon Landau these Producer reputations is more resounding, but discussed the status, at least before the new century, in the Producer circle absolutely nobody can surmount Joel Silver, the Silver production company in his hand has participated in the «Lethal Weapon» series and «Die Hard» series and «The Matrix» series as well as «Swordfish» and «V for Vendetta» successively and other development of well-known movement big movies. In the mid-80's, Joel Silver also once was one of the Disney CEO important candidates. Although cannot win Michael Eisner finally, but also sufficiently proves this person in the Hollywood strong strength. 虽然在好莱坞,杰瑞.布鲁克海默、乔恩.兰道这些制作人的名声更加响亮一些,但论起地位,至少在新世纪以前,制作人圈子里绝对没有人能够超越乔.西尔沃,他手中的西尔沃制片公司先后参与过《致命武器》系列、《虎胆龙威》系列、《黑客帝国》系列以及《剑鱼行动》、《v字仇杀队》等多部知名动作大电影的开发,而且。八十年代中期,乔.西尔沃还曾经是迪斯尼eo的重要候选人之一。虽然最后没能争得过迈克尔.艾斯纳,但也足以证明这个人在好莱坞的超强实力。 „Qiao, good evening, long time no see,” Eric moves forward to meet somebody on own initiative, puts out a hand toward Joel Silver, greeted warmly. “乔,晚上好,很久不见了,”艾瑞克主动迎上去,朝乔.西尔沃伸出手,热情地招呼道。 Joel Silver and Eric shook hand, haha said with a smile: „Good evening, Eric, congratulated your Firefly to be also many this year two Box Office bombs.” 乔.西尔沃与艾瑞克握了握手,哈哈笑着说道:“晚上好,艾瑞克,恭喜你的萤火虫今年又多了两部票房炸弹。” Eric loosens the big hand of opposite party, took one cup of champagne from waiter there, asked: „Were you, what movie busy at recently?” 艾瑞克松开对方的大手,从侍者那里取了一杯香槟,问道:“你呢,最近在忙什么电影？” Joel Silver then suddenly remembers, has referred to mole girl, said: „My Production Studio was making a gun battle piece recently, this is my Heroine, Miss Cindy Crawford.” 乔.西尔沃这才突然想起似的,指了指身旁的美人痣女郎,道:“我的制作公司最近在做一部枪战片,这是我的女主角,辛迪.克劳馥小姐。” Eric has lifted raising glass toward Cindy Crawford, said with a smile: „Congratulates you, Miss Crawford, Qiao's movie will make you become famous overnight absolutely.” 艾瑞克朝辛迪.克劳馥举了举杯,微笑道:“恭喜你,克劳馥小姐,乔的影片绝对会让你一举成名的。” „Thank you, Mr. Williams,” Cindy Crawford had set aside has grasped the right hand of stem glass, sees Eric slightly not with the meaning that shake hand, could not have the trace to trade the cup, was always she of people vision focal point thinks that playboy in Eric this legend definitely without hesitation will throw, but Eric let her first time try the unwilling frustration including Joel Silver somewhat desolate response. “谢谢你,威廉姆斯先生,”辛迪.克劳馥本已经腾出了手持高脚杯的右手,见艾瑞克丝毫没有与自己握手的意思,只得不着痕迹地将杯子换了回来,从来都是众人目光焦点的她本以为艾瑞克这个传说中的花花公子肯定会毫不犹豫地扑上来,但艾瑞克包括身旁乔.西尔沃都有些冷淡的反应让她第一次尝试到了不甘的挫败感。 Eric said the words that made her frustrate without hesitation: „Can Miss Crawford, let me and Qiao chats alone?” 紧接着,艾瑞克毫不犹豫地说出了更加令她挫败的话语:“克劳馥小姐,能让我和乔单独聊聊吗？” Cindy Crawford is constraining the anger in heart, as before is maintaining the charming smile, said: „Good, does not have the issue.” 辛迪.克劳馥压抑着心中的怒意,依旧保持着迷人的微笑,道:“好的,没问题。” Waits for Cindy Crawford to leave, Joel Silver cracks a joke saying: „Eric, does not need to set at the air/Qi with a woman of being nothing to speak, your Catwalk could not find enough attractive beautiful woman, I heard in the Firefly cinema city to gather world most top a number of professional model today, enough let your pinkeye.” 等辛迪.克劳馥离开,乔.西尔沃才开玩笑道:“艾瑞克,没必要跟一个不值一提的女人置气吧,你那个走秀又不是找不到足够的漂亮美人儿,我可是听说萤火虫影城里今天聚集了全世界最顶级的一批模特,足够让你挑花眼了。” The Eric booth lets go, did not mind that teasing of Joel Silver, said with a smile: „I am young people, plays some temperament frequently. Moreover this woman, since has attained Heroine of big manufacture movie, has not been willing to drop Victoria’s Secret the opportunity of spokesman, this appeared somewhat greedy, I did not like the too greedy woman.” 艾瑞克摊摊手,也不介意乔.西尔沃的调侃,笑道:“我可是年轻人,经常耍些脾气才是真的的吧。而且这个女人既然已经拿到了一部大制作电影的女主角,还不愿意放手维密的代言人的机会,这就显得有些贪心了,我可不喜欢太贪心的女人。” Joel Silver smiled impartially, Hollywood has too many people to hope that actually Eric was only young and impetuous young people, but no one thinks that naively this can be the fact. Thinks that in the Joel Silver vision is bringing some cunningly, said: „Eric, the movie that or said manufacture my, if you can convince me, I can kick immediately that young girl.” 乔.西尔沃不置可否地笑了笑,好莱坞倒是有太多人都希望艾瑞克只是一个年轻气盛的年轻人了,但谁也不会天真地认为这会是事实。想了想,乔.西尔沃目光中带着些狡黠,说道:“艾瑞克,要不说说我正在制作的这部影片,如果你能够说服我,我可以立刻把那个小妞儿踢掉。” Even if Joel Silver anything did not say that Eric also knows what Cindy Crawford will soon participate performance is which movie. 即使乔.西尔沃什么都不说,艾瑞克也知道辛迪.克劳馥即将参演的是哪部电影。 If not calculate that other is a guest performer beyond the movie that the nature participates performance, that named «Fair Game» movie is the only movie that Cindy Crawford plays the lead, naturally, is last. Because «Fair Game» narrated a very chaotic and inopportune story, a female attorney has discovered the KGB spy ship accidentally, Soviet Union KGB Agent to eliminate the evidence, started a series of assassinations to the female attorney, without a trace that in the entire process the United States violence department as if vanishes, detective who whatever completely the female attorney and accidentally are involved by one crowd of KGB Agent in the United States national territory pursued is similar to the stray cur, several times were nearly killed. If before is Soviet Union disintegrates, the movie of this theme perhaps can also cause some reactions, but now is in 1994, after Soviet Union disintegration, the Soviet power disintegrates, Russia falls into the economical cold winter, the people do not have enough to eat to be in a precarious state, relative, self-confidence also unprecedented upsurge of United States national, in this situation saw that such runs counter with ‚main melody’ completely even the plot somewhat incredible movie, the fate of movie can be imagined. 如果不算其他客串性质参演的影片外,那部名叫《对抗性游戏》的电影算是辛迪.克劳馥主演的唯一一部电影,当然,也是最后一部。因为《对抗性游戏》讲述了一个非常混乱而且不合时宜的故事,一个女律师无意中发现了克格勃的间谍船,苏联克格勃特工为了消灭证据,对女律师发动了一系列刺杀,整个过程中美国的暴力部门似乎消失的无影无踪,完全任由女律师和一个偶然卷入的警探被一群克格勃特工在美国自己国土上被追的如同丧家之犬,几次险些丧命。如果是苏联解体之前,这种题材的影片或许还能够引起一些反响,但现在已经是1994年,苏联解体之后,苏维埃正权土崩瓦解,俄罗斯陷入经济寒冬,民众食不果腹朝不保夕,相对的,美国国民的自信心也空前高涨,这种情况下看到这样一部完全与‘主旋律’背道而驰甚至剧情有些荒诞的影片,电影的下场可想而知。 Joel Silver sees Eric not to oppose, therefore narrated to Eric the «Fair Game» plot, he wants certainly to obtain some directions from Eric here, but after saying, Eric actually shrugs, without any appraisal, instead said to Joel Silver: „Qiao, produces this movie, Tathagata Firefly, I do not give you equality of treatment when Warner, moreover I must manufacture my «The Matrix» movie version immediately, this project can also give you to be responsible.” 乔.西尔沃见艾瑞克没有反对,于是将《对抗性游戏》的剧情向艾瑞克讲述了一番,他当然是想要从艾瑞克这里得到些许指点,但说完之后,艾瑞克却只是耸耸肩,没有任何评价,反而对乔.西尔沃道:“乔,制作完这部电影,不如来萤火虫吧,我给你在华纳时的同等待遇,而且我马上就要制作我那部《黑客帝国》的电影版,这个项目也可以交给你负责。” Eric these words stem from the sincerity completely, Joel Silver most excels is the manufacture is similar to «Die Hard» and «Lethal Weapon» like this big cost action movie, with had been embraced into the subordinates also to be good at Jerry Bruckheimer of CG Special Effects movie just by Firefly forming supplementarily, expands along with the Firefly strength unceasingly, Eric is impossible completely maintains own strength kisses for the condition to the project, bosses around splendid Producer to be inevitable. 艾瑞克这番话完全是出自真心的,乔.西尔沃最擅长的就是制作如同《虎胆龙威》、《致命武器》这样的大成本动作片,与已经被萤火虫揽入麾下并且擅长g特效电影的杰瑞.布鲁克海默刚好形成互补,随着萤火虫的实力不断扩张,艾瑞克也不可能一直对旗下的项目完全保持亲力亲为的状态,笼络更多出色的制作人是必然的。 Joel Silver hears Eric these words actually to stare, the probe said: „Eric, don't you favor this movie?” 乔.西尔沃听到艾瑞克这句话却是一愣,试探道:“艾瑞克,难道你不看好这部影片吗？” Eric asked: „What degree has your side manufactured?” 艾瑞克问道:“你那边已经制作到什么程度了？” Joel Silver said: „Began shooting, the smooth words, the summer files will screen next year.” 乔.西尔沃道:“已经开拍了,顺利的话,明年暑期档上映。” If the opposite party project is also at the preliminary mounting phase, has not invested too many funds, Eric to express bosses around the Joel Silver sincerity, joint will tell the opposite party fiercely in detail, advising politely him to reduce this project decisively, but since the movie began shooting, the big fund affirmation has spent, then a lot are unable to reverse, Eric also can only let go toward the Joel Silver booth, said: „If you believe that I, manufacture the fund to make Warner leave as far as possible . Moreover, if you want to join Firefly, I welcome at all times, «The Matrix» will start in the second half of next year, before then, so long as you come, the project momentarily is your.” 如果对方项目还处于初步筹备阶段,并没有投入太多资金,艾瑞克为了表示一下笼络乔.西尔沃的诚意,将其中的关节厉害详细告诉对方,奉劝他果断砍掉这个项目,但既然电影已经开拍,大笔资金肯定已经花出去了,那么很多事情都无法逆转,艾瑞克也只能朝乔.西尔沃摊摊手,道:“如果你相信我的话,制作资金尽量让华纳出吧,另外,如果你想要加入萤火虫,我随时欢迎,《黑客帝国》明年下半年才会启动,在此之前,只要你过来,项目随时都是你的。” «Fair Game» is an investment surpasses the big manufacture of 50 million USD absolutely, this project has pounded, the relations of Joel Silver and Warner will definitely present the fissure, that also will be the good opportunity that Firefly will undermine a wall.( To be continued.) 《对抗性游戏》绝对是一部投资超过5000万美元的大制作,这个项目砸了,乔.西尔沃与华纳的关系肯定会出现裂痕,那也将是萤火虫挖墙脚的好机会。(未完待续。)
