The time since December, the third week that 《Scream》 screens, although Thanksgiving in the past, but relies on it the popularity in young people community, the movie has harvested 1356 ten thousand USD Box Office as before, three weeks of Box Office achieves 5211 ten thousand USD. 时间进入12月份,《惊声尖叫》上映的第三周,虽然感恩节过去,但凭借其在青少年群体中的受欢迎程度,影片依旧收获了1356万美元票房,三周累计票房达到5211万美元。 On the other hand, Firefly this release «Bad Boys», although the first week has harvested 4257 ten thousand USD Box Office, delighted, because maintains over 40% Box Office decline ranges consecutively for two weeks, movie third week Box Office falls to 15.6 million USD , compared with 《Scream》 did not have the too big superiority, by the 《Scream》 about 20% weak week decline range curve, this low cost thriller film even possibly realizes Box Office instead to surpass to «Bad Boys» in the fourth week. 相对来说,萤火虫本部发行的《绝地战警》,虽然首周收割了4257万美元票房,让人喜出望外,但因为连续两周保持40%以上的票房跌幅,影片第三周票房滑落到1560万美元,和《惊声尖叫》相比已经不存在太大优势,以《惊声尖叫》20%左右的微弱周跌幅曲线,这部低成本惊悚片甚至可能在第四周对《绝地战警》实现票房反超。 However, although the Box Office curve is entirely different, but two movies North America Box Office broken hundred million will not have the suspense in the next several weeks, does not surpass 20 million as two production costs similarly, even manufactures and release total cost about the movie in 30 million, North America Box Office broken hundred million, these two movies without a doubt were at the end of 1995 the Box Office dark horse of running schedule, but several other movies that same time showed that three weeks of Box Office only in 30 million USD, corresponding Film Studio, even if were insufficient to lose money, the profit that got is unable by far with 《Scream》 and compared with «Bad Boys». 不过,虽然票房曲线大不相同,但两部影片未来几周北美票房破亿已经毫无悬念,作为两部制作成本同样不超过2000万,甚至制作和发行总成本都在3000万左右的电影,北美票房破亿,这两部影片毫无疑问是1995年年底档期的票房黑马,而同期上映的其他几部影片,三周票房都只在3000万美元以内,相应的电影公司哪怕不至于亏损,获得的利润也远远无法和《惊声尖叫》与《绝地战警》相比。 The accident success of 《Scream》, issues additionally to the stock of Metro Goldwyn Mayer December plans to play very obvious promoter action. 《惊声尖叫》的意外成功,对米高梅12月份的股票增发计划起到了非常明显的促进作用。 In recent years, North America several big Film Studio, basically have completed the transformation and conformity to media group, even if Columbia and Universal, the back has the large-scale multinational group to be the backing, the business scope also involves the aspects outside movie. But struggled more than ten years of Metro Goldwyn Mayer in the business difficulty and debt morass, the operations is limited in the pure filmmaking and release as before, if after conforming with Flower Films and DreamWorks Studios several big series of movie copyright the strength increased, Metro Goldwyn Mayer wanted to issue additionally the stock, it is estimated that could not find including the investment bank of contract service. 最近几年,北美的几大电影公司,基本上已经完成了向传媒集团的转化和整合,即使是哥伦比亚和环球,背后都拥有大型跨国集团做后盾,业务范围也涉及到电影以外的方方面面。而在经营困境和债务泥淖中挣扎了十多年的米高梅,公司业务依旧被局限在单纯的电影制作和发行方面,如果不是在整合了花朵影业和梦工厂制作公司的几大系列电影版权后实力大增,米高梅想要增发股票,估计连承接业务的投行都找不到。 However, as well as just Box Office greatly attained successful 《Scream》 , etc. a series of greatly to sell movie copyright to be the backing by 《Charlie's Angels》 and «007» and «Mission: Impossible» and «Night at the Museum» and «Resident Evil», the stock of Metro Goldwyn Mayer December issues additionally exceptionally smoothly, amounts to the issuing additionally plan of 70 million stock stock, was snapped up within one week of official release. 不过,凭借《霹雳娇娃》、《007》、《碟中谍》、《博物馆奇妙夜》、《生化危机》以及刚刚票房大获成功的《惊声尖叫》等一系列大卖电影版权做后盾,米高梅12月份的股票增发异常顺利,总计7000万股股票的增发计划,在正式发行的一周之内就被认购一空。 Under normal conditions, a company in implementing the stock has issued additionally in the process, the stock price often presents the downward trend, because receives the 《Scream》 Box Office successful advantage to stimulate, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock price not only has not fallen, instead the counter potential in one week rose 6%, each price achieves 15.8 USD, after completing issues additionally , the Metro Goldwyn Mayer total capital stock to be 4. The 3.5 billion stock, the market value sets new high again, achieves 68.7 300 million USD. By this time issued additionally 1 billion USD large amount of money that took friendly, Metro Goldwyn Mayer totally gets rid of the fund scarce present situation, the 1.7 billion USD huge debt was unable to create again too in a big way threatens, the company formally entered the benign development orbit. 通常情况下,一家公司在实行股票增发过过程中,股价往往会呈现下行趋势,但因为受到《惊声尖叫》票房成功的利好刺激,米高梅的股价不但没有下跌,反而在一周内逆势上扬了6%,每股价格达到15.8美元,完成增发后米高梅总股本达到4.35亿股,市值更是再创新高,达到68.73亿美元。凭借此次增发融取的10亿美元巨资,米高梅完全摆脱了资金紧缺的现状,17亿美元的巨额债务也无法再对其造成太大威胁,公司正式进入良性发展轨道。 Burbank, Firefly Group Headquarters. 伯班克,萤火虫集团总部。 Kelly Haynes has knocked the Eric office door, walked. 凯莉・海恩斯敲了敲艾瑞克办公室门,走了进来。 „Eric, this is «Sex and the City» that side New York just passed on chooses the corner/horn material, they compressed eight candidate.” “艾瑞克,这是纽约那边刚刚传过来的《欲旺都市》选角资料,他们已经将候选人压缩到了八个。” Eric hints Kelly to sit down, lowers the head to open several Actor materials in hand. 艾瑞克示意凯莉坐下,低头翻开手中的几份演员资料。 Candace Bushnell did not agree that Elizabeth after Hulley holds the post of Heroine, Eric will then choose the corner/horn power to release the AE TV Network program department. 坎迪斯・布什奈尔不同意伊丽莎白・赫利担任女主角后,艾瑞克便将选角权下放到了AE电视网的节目制作部门。 However, in choosing the process of corner/horn, Eric conveniently has joined the screen test list original several Heroine, at this time opens the screen test result of that side New York transmitting, Eric discovered Heroine who with amazement the dramatic team gives in Brad Xiao's two candidates, Sarah Jessica Parker was elected as before, another candidate is makes Eric accidental, Mary Louise Parker, single poisonous mother in original space and time. 不过,在选角的过程中,艾瑞克还是随手将原版的几位女主角加入了试镜名单,此时翻开纽约那边传来的试镜结果,艾瑞克惊讶地发现剧组给出的女主角卡莉・布拉德肖的两个候选人中,莎拉・杰西卡・帕克依旧当选,另外一个候选人更是让艾瑞克意外,玛丽・路易斯・帕克,原时空中的单身毒妈。 Only looks at the name merely, the person who does not know even possibly thinks that they are the sisters, Eric actually know two people simply do not have any relations. 仅仅只看名字,不知道的人甚至可能会以为她们是姐妹,艾瑞克却知道两个人根本没有任何关系。 In the character of role form appraises on column, Mary Louise the evaluation of Parker writes: Has many years of Broadway stage shows to experience, the performing skill is skillful, the vision is astute and cunning, actually many characters and styles, agree with Heroine the status of Brad Xiao Doushi woman of letters. 在角色表格的人物评价栏上,玛丽・路易斯・帕克的评语写着:拥有多年的百老汇舞台表演经历,演技纯熟,目光精明而狡黠,却又不乏风情,非常契合女主角卡莉・布拉德肖都市女作家的身份。 Because of the anthology the relations of type as well as age, Eric is much stronger than «Sex and the City» to the impression of «Single Poisonous Mother», Mary Louise the role of Parker in «Single Poisonous Mother» just likes regarding does not have the moral integrity yeanling that below struggles to seek livehood in the wolf insect tiger leopard, in Eric memory more is also only in the opposite party shiny black pure clear pupil that a series of dull sprouts the innocent small look. 因为剧集类型以及年代的关系,艾瑞克对《单身毒妈》的印象要比《欲旺都市》强得多,玛丽・路易斯・帕克在《单身毒妈》里的角色犹如一只在狼虫虎豹围绕下挣扎求生的没节操小绵羊,艾瑞克记忆里更多的也只是对方黑亮纯澈的眸子里那一连串呆萌无辜的小眼神。 Sits notes his corners of the mouth to show the strange smile in Eric opposite Kelly bewilderedly, said curiously: „Eric, how?” 坐在艾瑞克对面的凯莉注意到他嘴角莫名其妙地露出奇怪的微笑,好奇道:“艾瑞克,怎么了？” „, No,” Eric shook the head, in Mary Louise in the material of Parker has drawn a fork. “啊,没有,”艾瑞克摇了摇头,在玛丽・路易斯・帕克的资料上画了个叉。 Although between Sarah Jessica Parker and Mary Louise Parker two females, the latter makes Eric look like has to feel some. Because is too profound to the «Single Poisonous Mother» memory, Eric is not really able Mary Louise Parker substitutes on «Sex and the City» Heroine, let alone original Heroine appeared in the final candidate list, Eric no longer handles the matter that adds something superfluous and ruins the effect. 虽然在莎拉・杰西卡・帕克和玛丽・路易斯・帕克两女之间,还是后者让艾瑞克看起来更有感觉一些。但因为对《单身毒妈》记忆太深刻,艾瑞克实在无法将玛丽・路易斯・帕克代入到《欲旺都市》女主角身上,更何况原版女主角已经出现在了最终候选人名单里,艾瑞克不再做画蛇添足的事情。 Had determined this matter, Eric flipped several other candidates, this time has not discovered the acquaintance actually again. 确定了这件事,艾瑞克翻了翻其他几位候选人,这次倒是没有再发现熟人。 Arrives at the material to Kelly, Eric said: „Heroine chooses Sarah Jessica Parker, other three Heroine I do not manage, making Annie they decide.” 将资料抵给凯莉,艾瑞克道:“女主角选莎拉・杰西卡・帕克,其他三位女主角我就不管了,让安妮她们自己决定。” The Kelly doubts said: „Eric, does not need a look at the screen test recording tape, can deliver probably tomorrow?” 凯莉疑惑道:“艾瑞克,不需要看看试镜录像带吗,大概明天就能送过来？” Eric shakes the head: „Does not use, since they compressed eight candidate, these people definitely are very appropriate.” 艾瑞克摇头:“不用,既然他们已经将候选人压缩到了八个,这些人肯定都是非常合适的。” „Good, I first exited.” “好的,那我先出去了。” Kelly has tidied up the material, will leave, Eric stopped by calling out her: „Was right, Drew holds party in Cliff Peak Manor tonight, celebrates the stock to issue additionally as well as the Box Office success of 《Scream》 smoothly, can you come?” 凯莉将资料收拾了一下,正要离开,艾瑞克叫住她:“对了,德鲁今晚在尖角庄园举行派对,庆祝一下股票顺利增发以及《惊声尖叫》的票房成功,你要过来吗？” Kelly stops the footsteps, turns around to shake the head, said: „Tonight is not perhaps good, I complied with Nina to lead her to watch the movie.” 凯莉停下脚步,转身摇了摇头,道:“今晚恐怕不行,我答应了妮娜要带她去看电影。” „Oh, that consider as finished, I did not delay you to make good Mama.” “哦,那算了,我就不耽误你做个好妈妈了。” „Words that hehe, being all right, I returned to the office.” “呵呵,没事的话,我回办公室了。” Kelly smiled, leaves the Eric office, but, but also is less than five minutes, she transferred. 凯莉笑了笑,离开艾瑞克的办公室,不过,还不到五分钟,她又转了回来。 „Eric, that side the new line telephones, said that has completed with that «Rumble in the Bronx» English-language version of Jiahe cooperation, you initially specially had raised, now can look?” “艾瑞克,新线那边打电话过来,说是与嘉禾合作的那部《红番区》英文版本已经完成了,你当初特意提过的,现在要看吗？” Eric nodded, has a look at the watch, said to Kelly: „Makes them prepare, my three o'clock pass by.” 艾瑞克点了点头,看看手表,对凯莉道:“让他们准备一下,我叁点钟过去。” „Good.” Kelly nods, withdrew from the office. “好的。”凯莉点点头,退出了办公室。 Eric finished some work in hand, close to three o'clock, set out to arrive by the filing cabinet of office to turn out script, then left the projection room of office toward office building to walk. 艾瑞克忙完了手中的一些工作,临近叁点钟,起身走到办公室的文件柜旁翻出了一个剧本,然后离开办公室朝办公楼的放映室走去。 Experienced several years of development, new line Film Studio originally already completely integrated into the Firefly system. However, under the arrangement of Eric, the team of new line was insisting the movie-making strategy as before originally, has not cut off Jiahe Film Studio some cooperation of ocean opposite shore. 经历了几年的发展,原本的新线电影公司早已完全融入到了萤火虫体系当中。不过,在艾瑞克的安排下,新线的团队依旧在坚持原本的制片策略,同时也没有断绝与大洋对岸的嘉禾电影公司的一些合作。 «Rumble in the Bronx» is Jiahe tries to infiltrate the film of North America market again, mainly carries on the investment manufacture by Jiahe, the new line participated in some investments as well as carries on the related assistance in the shoots processes, and has attained the North America distribution rights of movie. This movie had manufactured to complete last year, and has widely screened in the Asian region, but, the release of North America actually decided in next year Easter running schedule. 《红番区》是嘉禾再一次试图打入北美市场的电影作品,主要由嘉禾进行投资制作,新线只是参与了少部分投资以及在拍摄过程中进行相关协助,并拿到了影片的北美发行权。这部电影去年就已经制作完成,并且已经在亚洲地区广泛上映,不过,北美的发行却是定在了明年的复活节档期。 Although previous life «Rumble in the Bronx» more than 30 million USD North America Box Office reduces the Hong Kong dollar to surpass 200 million, making Jiahe delighted, but, Eric actually does not care, what he settles on is only the preheating effect of «Rumble in the Bronx» on actor North America popularity. 虽然前世《红番区》3000多万美元的北美票房折合成港币超过两亿,让嘉禾喜出望外,不过,艾瑞克却不是太在意,他看中的只是《红番区》对男主角北美人气的预热作用。 At this time, another script in Eric hand is he plans the key point. 此时,艾瑞克手中的另外一个剧本才是他计划中的重点。 This is Ross script that Lamanna's screenwriter writes, although Ross Lamanna appears the legal proceeding, but this script in the original space and time is actually famous, because it called «Rush Hour». 这是一个名叫罗斯・拉曼纳的编剧写的剧本,虽然罗斯・拉曼纳显得籍籍无名,但这个剧本在原时空中却是大名鼎鼎,因为它叫《尖峰时刻》。 This time «Rush Hour» script also has hackneyed stuff, but simple double lead crime movement type piece, «Bad Boys» as well as past that «Beverly Hills Cop» and «Lethal Weapon» with screened and other series were similar, even did not have 100% determination use Asian including the leads, the plot differed with original similarly somewhat far. 此时的《尖峰时刻》剧本还只是有一个老套而简单的双主角犯罪动作类型片,与正在上映的《绝地战警》以及以往的《比弗利山警探》、《致命武器》等系列非常类似,甚至连主角都没有100确定使用亚裔,剧情同样与原版相差有些远。 However, Eric settles on is also only this script approximate story outline, as for the detailed plot, will revise according to own meaning in the future and that's the end. 不过,艾瑞克看中的也只是这个剧本的大致故事梗概,至于详细的剧情,将来按照自己的意思进行修改就是了。 These also being worth mentioning small interlude, «Rush Hour» screenwriter Ross Lamanna has also written another script, named «RMS Titanic», revolves the story of that steamship similarly. Naturally, this script and Cameron have not been relating in the shoots project completely, had Film Studio to be interested in this script, but, after Firefly emits the Cameron version «RMS Titanic» project, Ross Lamanna's script also asked about on thorough nobody. 这其中还有一个值得一提的小插曲,《尖峰时刻》的编剧罗斯・拉曼纳还写过另外一个剧本,名叫《泰坦尼克号》,同样是围绕那艘大船的故事。当然,这个剧本与卡梅隆正在拍摄的项目完全没有关系,原本还有电影公司对这个剧本感兴趣,不过,在萤火虫放出卡梅隆版《泰坦尼克号》的项目后,罗斯・拉曼纳的这个剧本也就彻底无人问津了。 Comes to the projection room in Headquarters building, besides the head in new line, Eric also saw several Asian faces, but has not seen the actor. 来到总部大楼的放映室,除了新线方面的负责人,艾瑞克还看到了几个亚裔面孔,只是没有看到男主角。 „Mr. Williams, I reported to you, this was «Rumble in the Bronx» producer Johnny Li, actor Jack manager Chen.” Sees Eric to walk, the head of new line introduced several people to Eric. “威廉姆斯先生,我向你介绍一下,这位是《红番区》的制片人乔尼・李,还有男主角杰克的经纪人陈。”看到艾瑞克走来,新线的负责人向艾瑞克介绍起几人来。 „Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, hello, welcome to Los Angeles,” Eric and opposite party have grasped starting, then said: „, We first watch the movie.” “李先生,陈先生,你们好,欢迎来到洛杉矶,”艾瑞克与对方握了下手,然后道:“那么,我们还是先看电影吧。” Producer surnamed Li said warmly: „Naturally, Mr. Williams, believes that definitely will not disappoint you.” 姓李的制片人热情地说道:“当然,威廉姆斯先生,相信肯定不会让你失望的。” The people have not chatted too, together entered the projection room. 众人并没有聊太多,一起走进了放映室。 Eric previous life had watched this movie, naturally is the national language version, at this time after reading translates specially the English edition, the lines understood that the aspect does not certainly have any problem, in the originally with memory compares, instead thinks very interesting. 艾瑞克前世就已经看过这部电影,当然是国语版的,此时看着特别翻译后的英文版,台词理解方面当然不存在任何问题,与记忆中的原本比较起来,反而觉得非常有趣。 The movie broadcasts, the head who Eric listens to the new line patiently introduced the issuance plan, but nods, the meaning of not having meddled. But has given the manager of head as well as actor of new line «Rush Hour» script in hand separatedly. 电影播放完,艾瑞克耐心地听新线的负责人介绍了一下发行计划,只是点点头,并没有插手的意思。而是将手中的《尖峰时刻》剧本分开递给了新线的负责人以及男主角的经纪人。 „This is script that I accidentally see, I thought that this story revises slightly, very suitable Jack. Detailed corrections I have written on script, but, I think, if shoots, Jack becomes has certainly many individual ideas, therefore, Mr. Chen, you can take to discuss with him, if interested, we can sign immediately.” “这是我偶然看到的一个剧本,我觉得这个故事稍微修改一下,非常适合杰克。详细的修改意见我已经写在剧本上了,不过,我想如果拍摄的话,杰克成一定有很多个人想法,所以,陈先生,你可以拿回去和他讨论一下,如果感兴趣的话,我们可以立刻签约。” Although has attained several pages of script similarly, but the producers in Jiahe actually discovered that Eric has not mentioned their meanings, looks manager that Jack has become, thinks that he immediately has not opened the mouth. 虽然同样拿到了几页剧本,但嘉禾的制片人却发现艾瑞克没有提及他们的意思,看了看杰克成的经纪人,想了想,他还是没有立刻开口。 However, manager that Jack becomes hears the Eric words, is actually a face delighted, said: „Mr. Williams, you were said that if Jack wanted, we can sign immediately?” 不过,杰克成的经纪人听到艾瑞克的话,却是一脸地喜出望外,道:“威廉姆斯先生,你是说如果杰克愿意,我们可以立刻签约？” „Naturally,” Eric is smiling the nod: „If all smooth, I hope that the movie can screen at the end of next year.” “当然,”艾瑞克微笑着点头:“如果一切顺利的话,我希望影片能够在明年年底上映。” Mr. Chen also asked: „That, Mr. Williams, does not know that this movie is manufactures by the new line, is by Firefly this manufacture?” 陈先生又问道:“那,威廉姆斯先生,不知道这部影片是由新线制作,还是由萤火虫本部制作？” Eric said: „New line, but, Mr. Chen, the several trade marks of Firefly, the new line, Firefly or Disney, the difference is only the movie manufacture type is different, therefore, you do not need to worry that completely the movie by the new line manufacture, will encounter any difference to treat.” 艾瑞克道:“新线,不过,陈先生,萤火虫旗下的几家厂牌,无论是新线、萤火虫还是迪斯尼,区别只是影片制作类型不同而已,所以,你完全不用担心影片由新线制作,会遭到任何区别对待。” Although hopes to cooperate at heart, Mr. Chen continues to ask: „Mr. Williams, Jack salary?” 虽然心里非常希望合作,陈先生还是继续问道:“威廉姆斯先生,杰克的片酬？” „Hehe, you and new lines discussed that” Eric smiled, said. “呵呵,你们和新线这边讨论吧,”艾瑞克笑了笑,说道。 Although Arien has also thought makes the opposite party one breath sign three low price pieces to make, but also carefully considers, does not need to do such damages, after all, win-win is the best approaches to cooperation. 虽然艾瑞也想过让对方一口气签下三部低价片约,但也仔细考虑一下,还是没必要做的这么损,毕竟,双赢才是最佳的合作方式。 Watches the movie time close to five o'clock, discussed approximately «Rush Hour» matter, Eric has given the new clew team the following work, goes by car to return to Cliff Peak Manor in a hurry. 看完电影的时候已经临近五点钟,大致谈了一下《尖峰时刻》的事情,艾瑞克将后续工作交给了新线团队,匆匆坐车返回尖角庄园。 《Scream》 enters the fourth week, harvests 106 50,000 USD Box Office once more, total Box Office has achieved 6 more than 2 million, along with the arrival of following Christmas running schedule, believes that the movie Box Office will also present the rebound of certain extent, North America Box Office broken hundred million are only the time issues. 《惊声尖叫》进入第四周,再次收获1065万美元票房,总票房累计已经达到6200多万,随着接下来圣诞档期的到来,相信影片的票房还会出现一定程度的反弹,北美票房破亿只是时间问题。 In addition the Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock issues additionally smooth implementation of plan, therefore, the girl has entangled Eric one, was allowed to be in Cliff Peak Manor Metro Goldwyn Mayer a period of time excellent situation conducts celebration party. 再加上米高梅股票增发计划的顺利实行,因此,丫头缠了艾瑞克一阵,就被允许在尖角庄园为米高梅最近一段时间的大好局面举办庆功派对。 Eric returned to Cliff Peak Manor, the time to pass six o'clock, in the manor started to have the guest to arrive one after another. 艾瑞克回到尖角庄园,时间已经过了六点钟,庄园里已经陆续开始有宾客到来。
