#701: One were embarrassed

Eric pages of places read script that side the company is transmitting, noted Gwyneth Paltrow to collect, to avoid her continued to pester itself, conveniently several pages of papers about Heroine actor's pay pulled out to come out to hand over «Seven» in: „Does Nà, have a look, to be interested?” 艾瑞克一页页地翻看着公司那边传来的剧本,注意到格温妮丝?帕特洛又凑了过来,为了避免她继续纠缠自己,随手将《七宗罪》里关于女主角戏份的几页纸抽了出来递过去:“呐,看看,感不感兴趣？” Gwyneth Paltrow receives pleasantly surprised, excited said: „Eric, this gives me?” 格温妮丝?帕特洛惊喜地接过来,一脸兴奋地说道:“艾瑞克,这是给我的？” Eric shrugs: „If you are interested, this role gave you.” 艾瑞克耸耸肩:“如果你感兴趣的话,这个角色就给你了。” Gwyneth Paltrow no longer said that lowered the head to read several pages of script in hand hastily, but, she quick and disappointed, after Eric handed over several pages, has not continued to give her script, explained this Heroine only then in hand this few play, she has also made several movies, had understood some script general knowledge, under the computation, just knows these actor's pays added slightly less than ten minutes, moreover role how many have not displayed the leeway, was only some and daily between actor, basically after belonging a that audience looked on the role that will forget quickly. 格温妮丝?帕特洛不再多说,连忙低头翻看起了手中的几页剧本,不过,她很快又失望起来,艾瑞克递过来几页之后,就没有继续给她剧本,说明这个女主角就只有手中这寥寥几场戏,她也算是拍过了几部影片,了解了一些剧本的常识,稍微计算下,就知道这些戏份加起来都不到十分钟时间,而且角色并没有多少发挥余地,只是一些与男主角之间的日常,基本上就属于那种观众看过之后就会很快遗忘的角色。 Let alone, this script seems like a crime thriller film of low cost. 更何况,这个剧本看起来还是一部低成本的犯罪惊悚片。 In a low cost thriller film actor's pay less than ten minutes of Heroine, if other people gives this script, Gwyneth Paltrow will not be perhaps nitpicking, considered slightly following, she had self-knowledge, Paltrow Family in the Hollywood influence, can only help her receive some single-handedly Film Studio low cost manufacture Heroine at most, the movies of seven big Film Studio manufactures, her parents' personal connection basically is unable to bribe, even if were her The Godfather Spielberg. Initially also let her is a guest performer one only to reveal the small roles of several faces in «Hook». But after that time. For these years she cannot attain any role in the Spielberg's movie again. 一部低成本惊悚片里戏份不到十分钟的女主角,如果是其他人交给她这个剧本,格温妮丝?帕特洛或许不会那么挑剔,稍微考虑一下就会接下来,她还是有自知之明的,帕特洛家族在好莱坞的影响力,至多只能帮她接到一些独力电影公司的低成本制作的女主角,七大制片厂制作的影片,她父母的人脉基本上无法染指,就算是她的教父斯皮尔伯格。当初也只是让她在《****船长》里客串了一个只露了几次脸的小角色。而那次之后。这几年她也没能在斯皮尔伯格的影片里再拿到什么角色。 However, this script must come from Eric here, is much lower than anticipation of Gwyneth Paltrow. 不过,这个剧本从艾瑞克这里得来,就远远低于格温妮丝?帕特洛的预期。 By Eric in the Hollywood status, so long as helps her bring both sides together under slightly, can make her attain a a level big manufacture Heroine, even if these has Film Studio of competitive relations with Firefly, Gwyneth Paltrow did not suspect that Eric has this influence. But in the hand this script gives her feeling, like net worth trillion super rich and powerful people. Has actually pulled out one cent coin. 以艾瑞克在好莱坞的地位,只要稍微帮她牵线搭桥下,就能让她拿到一部a级大制作的女主角,即使是那些与萤火虫有竞争关系的电影公司,格温妮丝?帕特洛都不怀疑艾瑞克拥有这个影响力。而手中这个剧本给她的感觉,就像一个身家亿万的超级富豪。却掏出了一枚一美分的硬币。 Eric was reading script in hand, was contrasting in the differences with memory, shot a look at a side to take several pages of script expression thinking otherwise some Gwyneth Paltrow accidentally, can guess that probably her idea, smiled at heart. In the hand this movie is she helps itself think, if she is willing to want this role, Eric did not mind that gives her Heroine, even if has repaid, but if she cannot have a liking, Eric will not make anything again. 艾瑞克读着手中的剧本,对比着与记忆中的不同之处,无意中瞥了眼身旁拿着几页剧本表情有些不以为然的格温妮丝?帕特洛,大概能够猜测出她的想法,心里笑了笑。手中这部影片是她帮自己想起来的,如果她愿意要这个角色,艾瑞克也不介意将女主角交给她,就算是回报了,但如果她看不上,艾瑞克也不会再做什么。 In the memory the movie about Gwyneth Paltrow are many. But impressive simply does not have, even if the small hot pepper in «Iron Man». Eric also clearly knows, reason that Marvel chooses her, the main reason is two characters, cheap. In cost over hundred million big manufacture commercial films, the movie queen of 3 million USD salary, was rare, even if did not have the pure performing skill of too many Box Office rallying point to send the star, after attaining Oscar, developed the commercial film again, the salary was impossible to lower to 3 million. Perhaps this indirect has also proven the moisture content of Gwyneth Paltrow this movie queen in a big way. 记忆中关于格温妮丝?帕特洛的影片不少。但让人印象深刻的却根本没有,就算是《钢铁侠》里的小辣椒。艾瑞克也清楚地知道,漫威之所以选择她,最主要的原因还是两个字,便宜。一部成本过亿的大制作商业片里,300万美元片酬的影后,也是少见了,哪怕是没有太多票房号召力的纯演技派女星,拿到奥斯卡后再演商业片,片酬都不可能低到300万。或许这间接也证明了格温妮丝?帕特洛这个影后的水分到底有多大。 Gwyneth Paltrow does not know that Eric idea at heart, sees him to read script in hand dedicated, is tactful actually has not disturbed, is glancing through in the hand bored repeatedly several papers, how calculates under to open the mouth to further haul in the relations with Eric. 格温妮丝?帕特洛不知道艾瑞克心里的想法,见他专注地阅读着手中的剧本,倒是识趣地没有打扰,无聊地反复翻阅着手中几张纸,盘算着等下该怎么开口进一步与艾瑞克拉进关系。 After a while, her some are impatient, heard the sound of doorbell. 过了一会儿,她正有些不耐烦,就听到了门铃的响声。 Eric also had doubts to lift the wrist/skill to look at the watch, to telephoning that side new line a half hour, he thinks David Fincher, even if in Los Angeles, at least also when noon can rush, has not thought that so will be quick. 艾瑞克也疑惑地抬起手腕看了看表,离打电话去新线那边才半个多小时,他以为大卫?芬奇即使在洛杉矶,至少也会等到中午才能赶到,没想到会这么快。 Listened to the doorbell to make a sound continuously several, Eric has gained ground, looked at Gwyneth Paltrow. 听着门铃连续响了好几下,艾瑞克抬起头,看了看格温妮丝?帕特洛。 Gwyneth Paltrow sat there had doubts moment, set out hastily, said with a smile attentively: „Eric, you sit, I opened the door on the line.” 格温妮丝?帕洛特坐在那里疑惑了片刻,连忙起身,殷勤地笑道:“艾瑞克,你坐着,我去开门就行了。” Looks the back that the woman gets out of the way, Eric has pulled the corners of the mouth, set out scattered in disorder the document to tidy up the tabletop on. 看着女人走开的背影,艾瑞克扯了扯嘴角,也起身将桌面上散乱的文件收拾了一下。 ...... …… Three years ago, was selected by Fox luckily, leads in the hand from Ridley Scott and James Cameron two greatly the baton pass 《Alien》 series third guide sleeve, David Fincher planned to go all out smugly, finally welcomed was actually trough cold water of overhead. The 《Alien 3》 cost has been higher than more than two times compared with first two, the movie after North America screens, Box Office and reputation actually set the record of the series to be lowest. Moreover, during shoots, all sorts of conflicts with movie-making side, makes David Fincher realize that Hollywood is not that amusing. After 《Alien 3》 Box Office is defeated, David Fincher has to temporarily leave Hollywood , to continue shoots shoots music mv. 三年前,幸运地被福克斯挑中,从雷德利?斯科特、詹姆斯?卡梅隆两位大导手中接棒《异形》系列第三部的导筒,大卫?芬奇本来踌躇满志地计划大干一场,结果迎来的却是当头的一盆冷水。《异形3》的成本比前两部高出了两倍多,影片在北美上映之后,票房和口碑却都创下系列最低。而且,拍摄期间与制片方的种种冲突,也让大卫?芬奇意识到好莱坞不是那么好玩的。《异形3》票房失败后,大卫?芬奇不得不暂时离开好莱坞,继续回去拍摄拍摄音乐mv。 In a flash three years, although also received some pieces to make in this period, but the majority was negotiating the stage dead without a sickness, contradictory point basically centralized to movie in domination. David Fincher does not think that failure of 《Alien 3》 completely on oneself, at that time he not only did not have the final editing power, grasps including the script revision authority in the Fox hand, final Large expanse of also radically is not that appearance that he forms in one's mind at first, that experience also makes David Fincher decide, the piece that later receives makes, if cannot attain enough creation authority, he rather does not pat. 一晃三年,虽然期间也接到过一些片约,但大部分都在谈判阶段无疾而终,矛盾点基本上都集中在对电影的控制权上。大卫?芬奇并不认为《异形3》的失败完全在自己身上,当时他不但没有最终剪辑权,连剧本的修改权力都掌握在福克斯手中,最终的成片也根本就不是他最初构思的那个样子,那次经历也让大卫?芬奇打定主意,以后接到的片约,如果不能拿到足够的创作权力,那他宁愿不拍。 Original today just and lives in a Beverly Hills Manor singer discussed that manufacture of music mv, suddenly receives a strange call, said that is Eric Williams wants to see itself, David Fincher first even thought that the opposite party definitely cracks a joke, Hollywood nobody does not know Eric Williams, this is the affirmation, but he actually also affirmed that Eric Williams is almost impossible to know itself. 本来今天正与居住在比弗利山庄的一位歌星讨论音乐mv的制作,突然接到一个陌生的电话,说是艾瑞克?威廉姆斯想要见自己,大卫?芬奇第一时间甚至觉得,对方肯定是开玩笑,好莱坞没有人不知道艾瑞克?威廉姆斯,这是肯定的,但他却也肯定,艾瑞克?威廉姆斯几乎不可能知道自己。 After an exchange, he finally realized, this matter 80% real, therefore said good-bye hastily that singer, drives place that rushed to telephone to mention. 一番交流之后,他才终于意识到,这件事八成是真的,于是匆匆辞别那位歌星,开车赶到了电话里提到的地点。 Until presses the sound doorbell, the doubts of David Fincher have not dissipated, remembered recently Hollywood some rumors at heart. Heard that Eric Williams has given two newly emerged new military recruits Director the Firefly next year key movie project. Although the media tend to be discrete to the commentary of this matter. But in secret, many people were anticipating saw Firefly falls at this matter. 直到按响门铃,大卫?芬奇的疑惑都没有消散,心里想起最近好莱坞的一些传言。听说艾瑞克?威廉姆斯将萤火虫明年的重点影片项目交给了两个初出茅庐的菜鸟导演。虽然媒体对这件事的评论都趋于谨慎。但私下里,很多人都期待着看到萤火虫在这件事上栽跟头。 Then, Eric Williams found itself suddenly, definitely can also be related with the movie. 那么,艾瑞克?威廉姆斯突然找到自己,肯定也会与电影有关了。 The front door of mansion opens, wears the girl of black complete knee long skirt to appear before him, David Fincher spunks up to put out a hand toward the opposite party, for a while somewhat is actually at a loss for words, does not know how should call the opposite party. 豪宅的大门打开,一个身穿黑色齐膝长裙的女郎出现在他面前,大卫?芬奇打起精神朝对方伸出手去,却一时有些语塞,不知道该怎么称呼对方。 „Hello. I am Gwyneth Paltrow,” Gwyneth Paltrow does not know that the David Fincher status, looks the opposite party will wear the leisure of white loose long sleeve T-shirt and trunk dresses up, pours first not to reveal the contempt, the politeness shook hand with him. “你好。我是格温妮丝?帕特洛,”格温妮丝?帕特洛也不知道大卫?芬奇的身份,看着对方穿着白色宽松长袖t恤和运动裤的休闲装扮,倒也不会第一时间就表露出轻视,礼貌地与他握了握手。 „I am David Fincher, Mr. Williams make me come,”, although was saying, in the David Fincher expression somewhat is afraid, once more suspected some time ago that telephone, if that were a practical joke. Today may want to be smelly big. “我是大卫?芬奇,威廉姆斯先生让我过来的,”虽然这么说着,大卫?芬奇语气里还是有些心虚,不由地再次怀疑不久前的那个电话,万一那是个恶作剧。今天可就要糗大了。 Is good because , the reality has not disappointed him. Gwyneth Paltrow nodded, lets David Fincher, closes the front door saying: „Comes with me.” 好在,现实并没有让他失望。格温妮丝?帕特洛点了点头,将大卫?芬奇让进来,关上大门说道:“跟我来吧。” Sees David Fincher to walk, Eric stands up to move forward to meet somebody, has grasped starting with the opposite party, under hints him to be implicated in the long table of flat roof, saw that Gwyneth Paltrow must sit, Eric somewhat reluctantly has referred to the coffeepot on table: „Gwynnie, helping us make two coffee?” 看到大卫?芬奇走来,艾瑞克站起身迎了上去,与对方握了下手,示意他在露台的长桌旁坐下,看到格温妮丝?帕特洛也跟着要坐下来,艾瑞克有些无奈地指了指桌上的咖啡壶:“格温妮,帮我们冲两杯咖啡好吗？” „Oh, good,” Gwyneth Paltrow has gawked, some carry the coffeepot slightly grudgingly, carries until the revolutions to them, curled the lip. “哦,好的,”格温妮丝?帕洛特愣了下,稍微有些不情愿地端起咖啡壶,直到转身背对两人,才撇了撇嘴。 The Eric attention changes David Fincher, this time David Fincher did not have afterward middle-aged uncle's putting on weight appearance, over 30, the stature is thin, meaning of this time wear also somewhat hippie. 艾瑞克的注意力转向大卫?芬奇,此时的大卫?芬奇还没有后来中年大叔的发福模样,三十出头,身材瘦削高大,此时的穿着还有几分嬉皮士的意味。 Looks at the doubts and cautious in David Fincher expression, Eric directly hands over «Seven» script, said with a smile: „I think that you affirmed how somewhat had doubts I to find your, but, we did not say that these bored details, I have looked at 《Alien 3》, in the hand just script, thought that can make you try. Although everybody present somewhat is strange, but I think after us, definitely will be familiar, Oh, you can call me Eric.” 看着大卫?芬奇表情中的疑惑和拘谨,艾瑞克直接将《七宗罪》的剧本递过去,笑道:“我想你肯定有些疑惑我是怎么找到你的,不过,我们还是不说这些无聊的细节了,我看过《异形3》,手中刚好有一个剧本,觉得可以让你试试。虽然大家现在还有些陌生,但我想我们以后肯定会熟悉起来的,哦,你可以叫我艾瑞克。” Eric these words also make David Fincher relax, receives script, similarly smiled, has read immodestly. 艾瑞克的这番话也让大卫?芬奇放松下来,将剧本接过来,同样笑了笑,不客气地翻看了起来。 Gwyneth Paltrow rubbed gently some little time, has come up the coffee end. 格温妮丝?帕特洛磨蹭了好一会儿,才将咖啡端上来。 Eric receives the tray, said: „Gwynnie, if you departure, cannot watch the little while television anxiously again.” 艾瑞克将托盘接过来,道:“格温妮,如果你不急着离开,可以再去看会儿电视。” Gwyneth Paltrow has gawked, this time truly has not borne, is in front of Eric to curl the lip, actually amenable walks toward the villa, enters the living room, making the vigor trample a foot on the sofa, said indignantly: „Really is, the bastard, can I also steal away inadequately your script?” 格温妮丝?帕特洛愣了下,这次确实没忍住,当着艾瑞克的面撇了撇嘴,却还是顺从地朝别墅内走去,一路走进客厅,使劲儿在沙发上踹了一脚,愤愤道:“真是的,混蛋,难道我还能把你的剧本偷走不成吗？” ...... …… Eric sits in side, is drinking the coffee, processed probably a half hour of email peacefully, David Fincher has put down script, said: „Eric, I looked.” 艾瑞克坐在旁边,喝着咖啡,安静地处理了大概半个小时的电子邮件,大卫?芬奇才放下剧本,说道:“艾瑞克,我看完了。” An email that „Oh,” Eric will write just sends, switches off the mailbox contact surface, changes David Fincher: „Feels what kind of?” “哦,”艾瑞克将刚刚写好的一封电子邮件发出去,关掉邮箱界面,转向大卫?芬奇:“感觉怎么样？” „The script subject is pessimistic, but the plot structure is ingenious, perhaps, can shoots leave a very special movie.” Does not wait for Eric to reply that David Fincher restrains the expression, said seriously: „Eric, although I hope very much can, cooperate with you with Firefly, but a little, I hope that can talk clearly beforehand.” “剧本的主题悲观阴暗,但剧情结构非常巧妙,或许,能够拍摄出一部非常特别的影片。”不等艾瑞克回答,大卫?芬奇收敛起表情,郑重道:“艾瑞克,虽然我很希望能够与萤火虫、与你合作,但有一点,我希望能够事先说清楚。” „Does as you please,” hand signal that Eric has made invitation. “请便,”艾瑞克做了个请的手势。 David Fincher said: „Three years ago I and Fox that cooperation is not happy, in the entire shoots process in the dispute difference was passing continuously, I did not think that 《Alien 3》 is my work. I do not want to make this condition come one time again, therefore, if you want to look for one to carry out your will completely Director, perhaps we were very difficult to cooperate.” 大卫?芬奇说道:“三年前我与福克斯的那次合作并不算愉快,整个拍摄过程中一直都在争执分歧中度过,我也不觉得《异形3》是我的作品。我不想让这种状况再重来一次,所以,如果你只是想要找一个完全执行你个人意志的导演,恐怕我们就很难合作了。” Eric nods, said: „Can understand, Jim, Oh, is James Cameron, he did not acknowledge that «Piranha 2» are his works, you very look like actually. Then, you can say your request first.” 艾瑞克点头,道:“可以理解,吉姆,哦,也就是詹姆斯?卡梅隆,他也不承认《食人鱼2》是他的作品,你们两个倒是挺像的。那么,你可以先说说你的要求。” David Fincher has not thought actually Eric is so good to speak, but he does not dare to propose that too excessive request, he hopes from the bottom of the heart can cooperate with Eric. Considered the moment, David Fincher said: „I hope that can script carries on the authority of appropriate amendment, in the shoots process I do not hope some people gesticulate in side. Moreover, the budget of this movie, I see in the note, only then 8 million USD, this is far from enough, as a feature film, we must have enough budget invitation splendid Actor, can haunch this movie. As for...... Finally the editing power,” spoke of here, David Fincher thought one were somewhat excessive, has hesitated difficultly the moment, said: „If, if possible, I hope that can participate cuts finally.” 大卫?芬奇倒是没想到艾瑞克这么好说话,但他也不敢提出太过分的要求,从心底来说,他还是非常希望能与艾瑞克合作的。斟酌了片刻,大卫?芬奇说道:“我希望能够拥有对剧本进行适当修改的权力,拍摄的过程中我也不希望有人在旁边指手画脚。另外,还有这部影片的预算,我看到备注里只有800万美元,这远远不够,作为一部剧情片,我们必须拥有足够的预算邀请出色的演员,才能撑起这部电影。至于……最终剪辑权,”说到这里,大卫?芬奇都觉得自己有些过分了,挠头迟疑了片刻,才说道:“如果,可能的话,我希望能够参与终剪。” „, I said that my request,” Eric smiles to listen, said: „Director knows my custom with I have cooperated, if you will continue to cooperate with me in the future, this criterion will not change. First, we after the discussion, will achieve on script consistently, this stage you can propose your corrections, so long as I thought that reasonable will then accept. Since I hope that you direct this movie, I to your shoots style am the approval. Therefore, so long as determines script in the mounting phase, I excessively will not interfere Director shoots, but my request is, once determines script at first, I do not hope that Director makes the large scale revision in the shoots stage again, this, we can limit the difference in the initial mounting phase, if cannot reach the unification opinion, will not waste the both sides too much time. Moreover, budgets the aspect is not the issue, as for the editing power, this aspect I cannot make the too big concession, I retain the authority that cuts finally, but maximum limit will usually release authority to Director, this aspect you can chat with Director that I cooperate with these, what degree can be approximately clear my releasing authority to be.” “那么,我说一下我的要求,”艾瑞克微笑着听完,道:“与我合作过的导演都知道我的习惯,如果你将来继续跟我合作的话,这个准则也不会改变。首先,我们会经过讨论,在剧本上达成一致,这个阶段你可以提出自己的修改意见,只要我觉得合理便会接受。既然我希望你来执导这部影片,那我对你的拍摄风格是认可的。所以,只要在筹备阶段确定剧本,我并不会过多干涉导演的拍摄,但我的要求就是,一旦最初确定剧本,我不希望导演在拍摄阶段再进行大幅度的修改,这样,我们可以将分歧限制在初期筹备阶段,如果达不成统一意见,也不会浪费双方太多的时间。另外,预算方面并不是问题,至于剪辑权,这方面我并不能做出太大的让步,我保留终剪的权力,但通常都会最大限度地放权给导演,这方面你可以与那些跟我合作的导演聊聊,就能大致清楚我的放权能够达到什么样的程度。” Eric regarding Cameron, Roland Emmerich and the others the Director movie, basically the final editing power will feel relieved that gives them, because they are pure commercial film Director, will not have too individual will that wants to express. But regarding David Fincher, Eric has retained. The David Fincher movie individual style has been intense, previous life that «Seven» is also the result that between he and new lines gambles finally, if releases authority completely to David Fincher, finally likely is previous life David Fincher after «Seven», that very failure completely 《The Game》 that is coming by the temper.( To be continued.) 艾瑞克对于卡梅隆、罗兰?艾默里奇等人导演的影片,基本上都会将最终剪辑权放心地交给他们,因为两人都是纯粹的商业片导演,不会有太多想要表达的个人意志。但对于大卫?芬奇,艾瑞克就有所保留了。大卫?芬奇的影片个人风格一直都非常强烈,前世的那部《七宗罪》也是他和新线之间最终博弈出来的结果,如果完全放权给大卫?芬奇,结果很可能就是前世大卫?芬奇在《七宗罪》后,那部非常失败的完全由着性子来的《心理游戏》。(未完待续。)
