1995 Thanksgiving exactly was on November 23, Eric returned to Los Angeles one week later, at the end of the year the running schedule formally enters the feeling grateful week. 1995年的感恩节恰好是11月23日,艾瑞克返回洛杉矶的一周后,年底档期正式进入感恩周。 On November 17, except for as in screening gold/metal outside Kerry comedy movie, Firefly «Bad Boys» and Metro Goldwyn Mayer 《Scream》 screens officially. In addition, new piece that this week shows also has Warner «Good deed Doubling» and Sony «White House Sentiment Reason», only listens to the name to distinguish this is the love comedy movie that two caught up with does for the occasion over the holidays. 11月17日,除了依旧在上映的金・凯瑞喜剧片外,萤火虫的《绝地战警》和米高梅的《惊声尖叫》正式上映。除此之外,本周上映的新片还有华纳的《好事成双》和索尼的《白宫情缘》,只听名字就能分辨出这是两部赶在节日期间应景的爱情喜剧片。 Close to the end of the year, various Firefly Group summary plan forecasts and so on conference emerges one after another incessantly, as a business scope related to movie, television, paradise, music as well as consumable and other domain media groups, movie department, although is exposure lead highest that but grabbed the share of entire group operation income to fall about 20%, after Eric returned to Los Angeles, started to be busy with processing these months of accumulations the numerous and diverse company affairs, therefore did not care to screening of these two low cost movies, but after screening first date, has read the Box Office data of next two movie at will, on this matter. Lost in one side. 临近年末,萤火虫集团各种总结规划展望之类的会议层出不穷,作为一家业务范围涉及电影、电视、乐园、音乐以及消费品等多种领域的传媒集团,电影部门虽然是曝光率最高的那一个,但占据整个集团运营收入的份额已经降到了20%左右,艾瑞克返回洛杉矶后就开始忙于处理这几个月积累的繁杂公司事务,因此对这两部低成本影片的上映并不是太放在心上,只是在上映首日之后,随意翻看了下两部影片的票房数据,就将这件事。丢在了一边。 However, is different from the Eric confident light response, the media actually stem from the expectations of all people regarding the attention of two movies. 不过,与艾瑞克胸有成竹的平淡反应不同,媒体对于两部电影的关注却出乎所有人的预料。 By the popularity of directing second Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show bringing, has the full announcement support of Firefly Group, Michael movie place neodymium made «Bad Boys» has gone beyond the expectations of all people. This manufacture budget only then 19 million USD crime action movies, the first Wednesday day have attained 26 600,000 USD Box Office, gold/metal who will screen the second week Kerry comedy pushed the champion title. 凭借执导第二届维密大秀带来的人气,又有着萤火虫集团的全力宣发支持,迈克尔・贝的电影处钕作《绝地战警》超出了所有人的预料。这部制作预算只有1900万美元的犯罪动作片,首周三天就拿到了2660万美元的票房,将上映第二周的金・凯瑞喜剧挤下了冠军宝座。 The double male Lord partner type crime movement class movie these years had been almost shot rottenly, not to mention «Beverly Hills Cop» and «Lethal Weapon» and other popular series, these obscure similar movies are countless, the idea that this type of piece can use basically has consumed completely, lays out any fresh idea very much difficultly again. 双男主搭档类型的犯罪动作类电影这些年差不多已经被拍烂了,且不说《比弗利山警探》、《致命武器》等热门系列,那些默默无闻的类似影片更是不计其数,这种类型片能用的构思基本上已经消耗殆尽,很难再拍出什么新意。 However, while obtaining splendid Box Office, «Bad Boys» actually unusual received the commendations of many media. Although in this movie two disposition contrast obvious actors exchange the status the plot are some small innovations, but media and film critic centralized commendation is actually Michael shoots style. 不过,在取得出色票房的同时,《绝地战警》却反常地受到了很多媒体的称赞。虽然这部影片里两个性格反差明显的男主角互换身份的情节算是一些小创新,但媒体和影评人集中称赞的却是迈克尔・贝的拍摄风格。 „Dazzling pursuing car(riage) scene and swift and fierce editing style and irritable movement scene, Michael by MTV Director of visual win, has made the visual impact feeling of 50 million USD big manufacture 19 million USD low cost crime action movies worthily. Although the plot has not been separated from type piece the pattern, actually as before is one can satisfy the popcorn movie of audience visual enjoyment.” “炫目的追车镜头、凌厉的剪辑风格、火爆的动作场面,迈克尔・贝不愧是以视觉取胜的MTV导演,将1900万美元的低成本犯罪动作片拍出了5000万美元大制作的视觉冲击感。虽然剧情并没有脱离类型片的窠臼,却依旧是一部非常能够满足观众视觉享受的爆米花影片。” „Slow motion just right, is full of the visual impact the wide-angle scene, nowhere is not having the special sense of beauty, does as Director place neodymium, Michael without a doubt has turned in a satisfied answer paper to the movie-making side and audience.” “恰到好处的慢镜头,充满视觉震撼力的广角场面,无处不带着特别的美感,作为一部导演处钕作,迈克尔・贝毫无疑问地给制片方和观众交上了一份满意的答卷。” „......” “……” Has saying that Michael control to scene vision sense splendid to pinnacle, but, Eric sees on the media these commentaries time, actually cannot bear smile to make noise. 不得不说,迈克尔・贝对镜头视觉感官的掌控出色到了极致,不过,艾瑞克看到媒体上这些评论的时候,却是忍不住笑出声来。 As one ‚seasoned person’, Eric memory most profound is previous life Michael by ‚three broad-ax that’ film critic criticizes repeatedly the shoots technique. 作为一个‘过来人’,艾瑞克记忆最深刻的就是前世迈克尔・贝被影评人反复批评的‘三板斧’拍摄手法。 But at this time the media praise Michael majority of viewpoints, was afterward they repeatedly was used to criticize Michael exactly place. Majority of Director has the intense individual style, regarding film critic, many Director shoots techniques, they often from the beginning likes or repugnant, little has Michael this, from liking turning repugnantly, changes again loathes extremely. 而此时媒体赞扬迈克尔・贝的大部分观点,也恰恰就是后来他们反复用来批评迈克尔・贝的地方。大部分导演都有强烈的个人风格,对于影评人来说,很多导演的拍摄手法,他们往往一开始就喜欢或者讨厌,很少有迈克尔・贝这样,从喜欢变成讨厌,再化作极度厌恶的。 However, so long as can bring the rich profit for movie-making side, the viewpoint of film critic, who cares. 不过,只要能够为制片方带来丰厚的利润,那么,影评人的观点,呵,谁在乎呢。 Because one of the «Bad Boys» leads no longer is Will Smith, but changed into another black person Rap singer, therefore, after these time does not have «Bad Boys», because of Will Smith falls into the awkward position that the sequel is unable to start by other movie reputation big quakes. 因为《绝地战警》的主角之一不再是威尔・史密斯,而是换成了另外一位黑人Rap歌手,因此,这一次也就不存在《绝地战警》之后,因为威尔・史密斯凭借其他电影名声大震而陷入续集无法启动的尴尬境地。 After «Bad Boys» weekend three days of Box Office draws a charge, the Firefly movie-making department starts with Michael discussed the development plan of sequel. 在《绝地战警》首周末三天票房出炉之后,萤火虫的制片部门就开始与迈克尔・贝讨论续集的开发计划。 On the other hand, Flower Films manufacture and by Metro Goldwyn Mayer release 《Scream》, because has conforms with the announcement support that later Metro Goldwyn Mayer spares no effort completely, first weekend three days of Box Office has achieved 121 50,000 USD, but, this data only occupies third in the week Box Office ranking, falls behind gold/metal Kerry's comedy 21 350,000 USD near 8 million USD disparity, as the frightened horror film of gasser in Thanksgiving family photo running schedule, this result was good, but looks like does not have what special place. 另一方面,花朵影业制作并由米高梅发行的《惊声尖叫》,因为有着完全整合之后的米高梅不遗余力的宣发支持,首周末三天票房达到了1215万美元,不过,这个数据只在周票房排行榜上占据第三名,落后于金・凯瑞的喜剧2135万美元将近800万美元的差距,作为加塞在感恩节合家欢档期里的惊悚恐怖片,这份成绩已经非常不错,但看起来也没有什么特殊的地方。 film critic regarding the commentary of 《Scream》 is also the polarization, some people think that this movie is fascinating in the establishment of suspense atmosphere, but also many people thought similarly this movie was one has used numerous horror film old stem hodgepodge. 影评人对于《惊声尖叫》的评论也是两极分化,有人认为这部影片在悬疑气氛的设置上非常引人入胜,但同样也有很多人觉得这部电影就是一部采用了众多恐怖片老梗的大杂烩。 Although Eric suggested in secret Drew can be 《Scream》 makes the release independently, but why his not too clear this movie will succeed. 艾瑞克虽然私下里暗示德鲁可以放手为《惊声尖叫》做发行,但他也不太清楚这部电影到底为什么会成功。 After first weekend three days 121 50,000 USD Box Office, the following working day, 《Scream》 has harvested more than 6 million USD Box Office once more, first week total Box Office achieves 18.63 million. 继首周末三天1215万美元票房之后,接下来的工作日,《惊声尖叫》再次收获了600多万美元票房,首周总票房达到18630000。 Therefore, after first week showing, unified the reputation of first week Box Office data and movie and other data, Film Studio makes several to screen the total Box Office estimate of new piece approximately. 于是,经过首周的放映,结合首周票房数据和电影的口碑等各项数据,电影公司大致做出了几部上映新片的总票房预估。 Because eventually is only a popcorn movie, is a black person comedy, although directs second Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to let Michael reputation big quake, but the majority of organizations have given the forecast of 100 million USD North America total Box Office to «Bad Boys». Compares about manufacture and announcement cost in 30 million USD, Firefly will obtain without a doubt very strong gain on North America Box Office merely. 因为终究只是一部爆米花影片,又是一部黑人喜剧,虽然执导第二届维密大秀让迈克尔・贝名声大震,但大部分机构都对《绝地战警》给出了1亿美元北美总票房的预测。相比于3000万美元左右的制作和宣发成本,毫无疑问,萤火虫仅仅在北美票房上就将获得非常丰厚的盈利。 As for 《Scream》, according to first week Box Office and reputation of polarization this movie, the total Box Office data forecast that the organization gives, only then 50 million USD, and estimated that next week Box Office decline range in 30% to 50%, the total Box Office digit is much lower than in the Eric memory to surpass the 100 million USD Box Office data. 至于《惊声尖叫》,按照这部影片的首周票房和两极分化的口碑,机构给出的总票房数据预测只有5000万美元,并预计次周票房跌幅将在30%到50%之间,总票房数字更是远远低于艾瑞克记忆中超过一亿美元票房的数据。 When Eric has doubts this is the butterfly effect that the because oneself rebirth brings, the time arrives the next week. 正当艾瑞克疑惑这是不是因为自己重生所带来的蝴蝶效应时,时间来到下一周。 gold/metal Kerry's comedy movie, Firefly «Bad Boys» even Sony and two of Warner release have not created any spray the love comedy movie, deferred to the normal Box Office trend in forecast to present the corresponding Box Office decline range, but 《Scream》 weekend three days of Box Office made people be the accident. 金・凯瑞的喜剧片,萤火虫的《绝地战警》甚至索尼和华纳发行的两部没有激起什么浪花的爱情喜剧片,都按照预测中的正常票房走势出现了相应的票房跌幅,但《惊声尖叫》的次周末三天票房却让人大为意外。 Although has «Money Train» and «Club» and other Box Office is not prominent occupies the new piece of many market share to be fooled as before, but 《Scream》 actually stems from all people to expect the place, Box Office not only has not fallen, instead presented the rebound, although this counter decline range weak 7%, but three days of Box Office achieves 1 3.1 million USD as before. But this counter falls the trend chart that stems from all people to expect to indicate that total Box Office of this movie will go far beyond the 50 million USD digit of media originally predict that even possibly with «Bad Boys» quite. 虽然有着《金钱列车》、《俱乐部》等几部票房不突出却依旧占据了不少市场份额的新片上档,但《惊声尖叫》却出乎所有人预料地,票房不但没有下跌,反而出现了反弹,虽然这个逆跌幅度只有微弱的7%,但三天票房依旧达到1310万美元。而这个出乎所有人预料的逆跌走势图更是预示着,这部电影的总票房将远远超过媒体原本预测的5000万美元数字,甚至可能与《绝地战警》相当。 Media or Hollywood Film Studio, regarding the response of Box Office dark horse always extraordinary fast, after all, the media want the news, but Film Studio wants the market. 无论是媒体还是好莱坞电影公司,对于票房黑马的反应总是出奇迅捷的,毕竟,媒体想要新闻,而电影公司想要市场。 Therefore, afterward several days, the 《Scream》 mysterious Box Office trend reason was unearthed quickly. 因此,随后几天,《惊声尖叫》的神奇票房走势原因很快被挖掘了出来。 Reason as if also simple extraordinary. 原因似乎也简单的出奇。 The young people audience who „accepts the visit said that the surrounding schoolmate good friend was discussing this movie, they thought that this frightened bloody terrifying movie is exciting. Meanwhile, movie story occurred in high-school student community setting, made them feel the substitution feeling. The boy who accepts the visit said: They have been weary of Bruce Willis, Mel the performances of Gibson these silver screen movement dauntless men, what they want to see is suits them to live the movie that even if a horror film.” “接受访问的青少年观众纷纷表示,周围的同学好友都在讨论这部电影,他们觉得这部惊悚血腥的恐怖电影非常刺激。同时,影片故事发生在高中生群体这一设定,也让他们充满了代入感。一个接受访问的男孩更是表示:他们已经厌倦了布鲁斯・威利斯、梅尔・吉布森这些银幕动作硬汉的表演,他们想看到的是更加切合他们生活的电影,哪怕是一部恐怖片。” „Hollywood divides into unified youth audience community 18 to 34 years old audience frequently, through view shade upsurge that 《Scream》 causes, we should discover that this age division rule probably must change since then. A University of Southern California professor said that reason that 《Scream》 was held by the heat, the reason of deeper level, should be came under the influence of baby boom echo time, United States after the Second World War, started the first baby boom, the average has surpassed the child birth of 10 million every year, but the group of babies of past years, grew up in 60-70 ages grow up and get married and begin a career, after the 70's, gave United States to bring a baby boom once more, because this baby boom came under the influence of first baby boom, therefore was called the baby boom echo time. But according to the estimate, the baby who in the 70's was born, the total number of people have achieved the greatness of 60 million, these ages are in the young people between 16 to 25 years old, without doubt will become a number of independent movie customer segments. The success of 《Scream》, without a doubt, very big degree is because it caters to the view shade demand of young people this revised is in the rebel time accidentally.” “好莱坞经常将18到34岁的观众划为一个统一的年轻观众群体,通过《惊声尖叫》引发的观影热潮,我们应该发现,这种年龄划分规则或许要从此改变。南加大一位教授表示,《惊声尖叫》之所以受到热捧,更深层次的原因,应该是受到了婴儿潮回声期的影响,美国在第二次世界大战后,开始了第一次婴儿潮,平均每年超过1000万的孩子出生,而当年的这批婴儿,在六七十年代长大纷纷长大成人并成家立业,在七十年代后,再次给美国带来了一次婴儿潮,这次婴儿潮因为是受到了第一次婴儿潮的影响,因此被称为婴儿潮回声期。而根据估计,七十年代出生的婴儿,总人数达到了6000万之巨,这些年龄处于16到25岁之间的青少年,无疑将成为一批单独的电影消费群体。《惊声尖叫》的成功,毫无疑问,很大程度是因为它无意中迎合了这批正处于叛逆期的青少年的观影需求。” The Beverly Hills top, binds Elizabeth of white bathrobe to sit on early morning flat roof, reads off in the hand to analyze the 《Scream》 Box Office success reason 《Los Angeles Times》, looks up to sitting in opposite Eric: „Hello, I somewhat regretted suddenly.” 比弗利山顶,裹着一件白色浴袍的伊丽莎白坐在清晨露台上,读完手中分析《惊声尖叫》票房成功原因的《洛杉矶时报》,抬头看向坐在对面的艾瑞克:“喂,我突然有些后悔了。” In Eric does not lift, drinks to begin the coffee, looks at newspaper asked: „How?” 艾瑞克头也不抬,喝着手里的咖啡,边看报纸边问道:“怎么了？” „«Final Destination» should also be a young people movie, I somewhat regretted traded that «Austin Powers» suddenly with you, truly speaking, this script I more looked am more rotten.” “《死神来了》应该也算是一部青少年电影吧,我突然有些后悔跟你换那部《王牌大贱谍》了,说实在的,这个剧本我越看越烂呢。” Eric smiled, said: „Yes, I also think very rotten, therefore trades with you.” 艾瑞克笑了笑,道:“是啊,我也觉得非常烂,所以才跟你换啊。” „Your this bastard,” Elizabeth stared his one eyes, the probe said: „You, started to manufacture?” “你这个混蛋,”伊丽莎白瞪了他一眼,试探道:“那你这边,开始制作了吗？” „New line planned that screened in next year summer files, choosing the corner/horn to start, now you want to trade to be possible late,” Eric gained ground, says with a smile: „Therefore, you honestly manufacture this rotten piece, but, no one had said that the rotten piece does not make money.” “新线打算在明年暑期档上映,选角已经开始了,现在你想换回来可晚了啊,”艾瑞克抬起头,笑道:“所以,你还是老老实实地制作这部烂片吧,不过,谁也没说烂片不赚钱啊。” „Yeah, your just knows is helping her, casual low cost horror film can attain such high Box Office, did not say that helps me select several script.” “哎,你就知道帮着她,随便一部低成本恐怖片都能拿到这么高的票房,也不说帮我挑几个剧本。” Eric shakes the head, said: „This time may not relate with me, but script Drew select, I have not meddled.” 艾瑞克摇头,道:“这次可真跟我没关系啊,剧本可是德鲁自己挑的,我一点都没有插手。” „She...... Look that snort|hum......” Elizabeth does not believe obviously. “她……哼……”伊丽莎白一副明显不相信的神色。 Eric shrugs: „Fact is this, you inquired casually just knows, the girl may be more astute than you, 500,000 USD, sells outright that screenwriter five script one time. I regret for that screenwriter, if did not seek after that 500,000 USD to sign the pack contract, after this movie, his casual script can buy a set of good mansion in Beverly Hills Manor, now, can only defend that 500,000 USD to buy a small apartment at the foot of the hill.” 艾瑞克耸耸肩:“事实就是这样,你随便打听一下就知道了,丫头可比你精明呢,50万美元,一次性买断那个编剧五部剧本。我都替那个编剧感到后悔啊,如果不是贪图那50万美元签署了个打包合约,这部电影之后,他随便一个剧本就能在比弗利山庄买套不错的豪宅,现在,就只能守着那50万美元在山脚下买套小公寓了。” On the Elizabeth face shows the cunning small expression, said: „Eric, you were suggesting that I dig that screenwriter, the 500,000 USD contract, the penalty wants to come not to be many.” 伊丽莎白脸上露出狡黠的小表情,说道:“艾瑞克,你是在暗示我把那个编剧挖过来吗,50万美元的合约,违约金想来也不会太多呢。” Eric just also cracked a joke, 《Scream》 attains greatly successfully, Kevin Williamson naturally can obtain drawing bonus that Metro Goldwyn Mayer distributes in private, the income of finally succeeding in obtaining definitely goes far beyond 500,000 USD. Moreover, any screenwriter is impossible to guarantee that own play Basic Instinct suffices to obtain successfully, the probability that the horror film can Box Office explode greatly is the low pity, even if there is Film Studio to be willing to pay a penalty to help Kevin Williamson terminates the contract, the opposite party wants to be slightly more intelligent, is impossible to comply. 艾瑞克刚刚也只是开个玩笑,《惊声尖叫》大获成功,凯文・威廉姆森自然会获得米高梅私下派发的分红,最终到手的收入肯定还是远远超过50万美元。而且,任何编剧都不可能保证自己的剧本能够一直获得成功,恐怖片能够票房大爆的几率更是低的可怜,哪怕有电影公司愿意支付一笔违约金帮助凯文・威廉姆森解除合约,对方只要稍微聪明一些,也不可能答应。 Glanced Elizabeth, Eric said: „You can try, so long as is not spiteful, can dig to calculate your skill.” 瞟了眼伊丽莎白,艾瑞克道:“你可以去试试啊,只要不是赌气,能挖过来算你本事。” After all stayed for several years in the movie circle, Elizabeth also understands rule, hears word sighed, said: „It seems like I must select some young people movie script recently, um, Eric, what were you busy at recently?” 毕竟已经在电影圈子里呆了几年时间,伊丽莎白也明白其中的规则,闻言叹了口气,又道:“看来我最近也要挑一些青少年电影剧本了,嗯,艾瑞克,你最近在忙什么？” „Meets, will discuss the company next year departmental budget and development project.” “开会,商量公司明年的部门预算和发展规划。” Elizabeth blinked, knows one do not facilitate to inquire these, but asked curiously: „How many can Firefly this year's business income achieve probably?” 伊丽莎白眨了眨眼睛,知道自己不方便打听这些,只是好奇地问到:“萤火虫今年的营业收入大概能达到多少？” „24 billion about, compared with originally anticipated good.” “240亿左右吧,比原本的预期好一点。” „Wow, but also...... Good. Was my family's two times, you said that the expression of this saying may be really exasperating,” Elizabeth two, could not bear, asked: „According to past 11% net profit rates, Firefly this year the net profit was almost 2.6 billion USD.” “哇哦,还……好一点。都是我家的两倍了,你说这话的语气可真气人,”伊丽莎白吧啦了两句,又忍不住,问道:“按照以往11%的净利率,萤火虫今年纯利润差不多就是26亿美元了呢。” „Un, but, sold Animation Department and late spare money of paper intermediary property last year, probably is 1 250 million USD.” “嗯,不过,还有去年出售动画部门和纸媒资产的后期余款,大概是12.5亿美元。” „Tsk Tsk,” Elizabeth envied to pound the mouth, worked on the silver knife in nearby early dinner place, has brandished under: „Nà, cannot move, robs.” “啧啧,”伊丽莎白羡慕地砸了砸嘴,抓起旁边的早餐盘里的银制小刀,挥舞了下:“呐,不许动,抢劫。” Eric turned one page front newspaper, haunched the right hand on tabletop to shake shaking with a smile: „I surrender, queen Sir, but the broad daylight is too easy to be caught, or goes to the bedroom, do I deliver you several 10 billion?” 艾瑞克将面前的报纸翻了一页,笑着撑起桌面上的右手晃了晃:“我投降,女王大人,不过光天化日太容易被抓到,要不去卧室,我送你几百亿？” „,” Elizabeth has gawked staring, immediately the complexion blushed spat one, set out their tableware to tidy up the round table on simply, held to walk toward the villa in the hand, said: „I shouted Julia to get out of bed, oh, was you are used, lazy to become Mao.” “啊呸,”伊丽莎白愣了愣,随即脸色羞红地啐了一口,起身将圆桌上两人的餐具简单收拾了下,托在手里朝别墅走去,道:“我去喊茱莉亚起床,唉,都是你惯的,都懒成猫了。” Eric sees the form that Elizabeth leaves, said: „She is you stays together obviously, became I am used.” 艾瑞克看着伊丽莎白离开的身影,道:“她明明是和你住在一起啊,怎么成我惯得了。” Elizabeth does not return, expression cunning and unreasonable say|way: „Blames you in any case.” 伊丽莎白头也不回,语气刁蛮道:“反正都怪你。” „Volume, good.” “额,好吧。”
