After Christinaleaves, Ericlies downin the bathtubsits in repose with eyes closed, was ponderingjustmatter, has had at heart unknowinglysomeideas.克里斯蒂娜离开后,艾瑞克躺在浴缸里闭目养神,思考着刚刚的事情,心里不知不觉产生了一些想法。Changedclothes, the whole bodywent downstairscomfortably.
换了身衣服,浑身舒爽地下了楼。
The Los Angelesweather of Decemberwas short, passedseveno'clock, the outdoorsaretwilightonepiece, butin the villahall was actually brilliantly illuminated, the person's shadowswayed.
十二月的洛杉矶天色较短,过了七点钟,户外已经是暮色一片,不过别墅大厅内却是灯火通明,人影攒动。partyalreadystarted.派对早已开始。Notes the appearance of Eric, manypeoplecome upto greetin abundance, the Ericsmileis dealing with. After a while, Drewbrings30 -year-old brunetteto walk, encirclesrecognizesDrewas well as the status of hersidewomaninseveralpeople that sideEricchatted, knows that severalpeoplepossiblyhad the proper business to discuss, was tactfulleaves.
注意到艾瑞克的出现,不少人纷纷上来打招呼,艾瑞克微笑应付着。过了一会儿,德鲁带着一个三十多岁的棕发女人走过来,围在艾瑞克身旁闲聊的几人认出德鲁以及她身旁女人的身份,知道几人可能有正事要谈,都识趣地离开。DrewbrunettenamedBarbaraBullock, the currentleader of 007series of secretfamilies.德鲁身旁的棕发女人名叫芭芭拉・布洛克里,007系列幕后家族的现任掌门人。Since1961first part007movie«Dr.»has startedto manufacture, the domination of 007series of movieshas controlledinBullockFamilyhand. The majority ofaudiencesare accustomed tocontactwithMetro Goldwyn Mayer007series, butin fact, beforethe 80's, 007andhad not much to do with Metro Goldwyn Mayer, copyright of thisserieshas also belonged toYiangproduction company that BullockFamilycontrolled, in the 70's, Yiangproduction companypartnerHarrySzazandBullock of family relationshipsevered, 50%corporation stocksin the handhad sold toUnited ArtistsCorporation, afterwardUnited Artistsbecause«Heaven’s Gate»went bankrupt, was purchasedbyMetro Goldwyn Mayer, afterwardMetro Goldwyn Mayerhad007series of halfcopyright.
自从1961第一部007电影《诺博士》开始制作以来,007系列电影的控制权一直掌控在布洛克里家族手中。大部分观众习惯于将007系列与米高梅联系起来,但实际上,在80年代以前,007与米高梅并没有太大关系,这个系列的版权也一直归属布洛克里家族控制的伊昂制片公司,七十年代,伊昂制片公司的合伙人哈利・萨兹曼与布洛克里家族关系破裂,将手中一半的公司股份卖给了联美公司,后来联美又因为《天堂之门》破产,被米高梅收购,随后米高梅才拥有了007系列的一半版权。However, althoughMetro Goldwyn MayerandYiangproduction company both sides notto007series of absolute controlpower, buttheseyears, becausehas struggledin the business difficulty, Metro Goldwyn Mayerneedsto open007series to maintain the companyto operatecontinuously, thereforein007series, as of Metro Goldwyn MayersevenbigFilm Studioinsteadare in the weak position, the moviefirmlyis controlledtoall sorts oflinks of releasebyBullockFamilyfromscript.
不过,虽然米高梅和伊昂制片公司双方谁都没有对007系列的绝对控制权,但这些年因为一直挣扎在经营困境中,米高梅需要连续开启007系列以维持公司运营,因此在007系列上,作为七大电影公司之一的米高梅反而处于弱势地位,电影从剧本到发行的种种环节都被布洛克里家族牢牢掌控。BullockFamilycan be said ascompletelydepends upon007seriesisto live, presentBarbaraBullockthis yearprobably is about 35 years old, butfrom20 years old, thiswomanstartsto hold the post ofassistantDirectorin007series of producuction processes, afterwardachieves the position of producerfromassistantDirector and assistantproducer, afterher fatherKobeBullockretires, with motherdifferentfathereachMichaelWillabdicatesgrasps007series of manufacturestogetherthoroughly, moreoverthisfor more than 10 years, shealsoonlymakesthismovieseries.
布洛克里家族可以说是完全依靠007系列为生的,眼前的芭芭拉・布洛克里今年大概35岁左右,但从20岁起,这个女人就开始在007系列的制作过程中担任助理导演,随后从助理导演、助理制片人一路做到制片人的位置,并且在她父亲科比・布洛克里退休之后,和自己同母异父的各个迈克尔・威尔逊一起彻底掌握007系列的制作,而且这十多年来,她也只做这一个电影系列。Naturally, BullockFamily'sstrongstatusin007seriesalong withmerger and acquisitionconformity of recentoneyear of Metro Goldwyn Mayeralsoalong withitvanishing into thin air.
当然,布洛克里家族在007系列中的强势地位随着最近一年时间米高梅的并购整合也随之烟消云散。Before then30manyyears, 007series, althoughhas the multipletrough, a 17007loss that butso farscreened, had not made moneycompletely, thishas also createdMetro Goldwyn Mayerto007series of intensedependences, has tomakeall sorts ofcompromisestoBullockFamily.
在此之前三十多年时间,007系列虽然有过多次低谷,但到目前为止已经上映的17部007没有一部亏损,全部都赚了钱,这也造成了米高梅对007系列的强烈依赖,不得不对布洛克里家族做出种种妥协。Buthasa series ofsalebigpiececopyrightalong with the presentMetro Goldwyn Mayerhand, thisdependencedid not exist, Metro Goldwyn Mayerdoes not need to launchthisproject, butmakesall sorts ofcompromisestoBullockFamily, insteadinEricproposed when conforms«007»and«Mission: Impossible»as well as《Charlie's Angels》and otherseriesbuilt the Metro Goldwyn Mayeragentmovieuniverse, althoughBullockFamilyin the heartall kindsdoes not hope, understood what has to doneagreed withthisplan.
但随着现在米高梅手中拥有一系列热卖大片版权,这种依赖性已经不存在了,米高梅不需要在为了启动这个项目而向布洛克里家族做出种种妥协,反而在艾瑞克提出整合《007》、《碟中谍》以及《霹雳娇娃》等系列打造米高梅特工电影宇宙时,布洛克里家族虽然心中万般不愿,还是非常识时务地同意了这个计划。Althoughtook carry back the initiative, butErichas not actually kicked out of the way the meaning of BullockFamily, after alltheycansay that the energy of most lifetimeuses, inhas builtin007series, the movie-makingexperiencedefinitelyratiobegins using the completelystrangeproducer to enrichtoomany, twofemalesarrived at the front, Ericwindvery muchripehuggedwithBarbaraBullock, said: „Good evening, Barbara, youare really attractivetonight.”
虽然将主动权拿了回来,不过艾瑞克却并没有踢开布洛克里家族的意思,毕竟他们可以说将大半辈子的精力都用在了打造007系列上,制片经验肯定比启用完全陌生的制片人要丰富太多,两女走到面前,艾瑞克很熟络地与芭芭拉・布洛克里拥抱了下,道:“晚上好,芭芭拉,你今晚真漂亮。”BarbaraBullockhas heldEricgently, after letting loosehim, said with a smile, said: „Thank you, Eric, thisvilla is really with is the same, I who everybodysaidhopenowone can also havethis kind ofhouse.”
芭芭拉・布洛克里轻轻抱了抱艾瑞克,放开他后微笑道,道:“谢谢你,艾瑞克,这栋别墅真是和大家说的一样,我现在都希望自己也能够有这样一栋房子了。”„After you, cancomefrequentlyvisiting, was right, howto have seenMichael?”
“那你以后可以经常过来拜访,对了,怎么没见迈克尔?”WhatEricfingerisBarbaraBullockelder brotherMichaelwithmotherdifferentfatherWill, BarbaraBullockexplained: „Hehandled the matters of somecompaniesinUnited Kingdomrecently.”艾瑞克指的是芭芭拉・布洛克里同母异父的哥哥迈克尔・威尔逊,芭芭拉・布洛克里解释道:“他最近在英国处理一些公司的事情。”Exchanged greetingsseveral, nearbyDrewhas referred tonot far awayrest area, said: „Eric, wego to that sideto discuss.”
寒暄了几句,旁边的德鲁指了指不远处的休息区,道:“艾瑞克,我们去那边谈吧。”Ericnods, frompassing byin the attendanttraytookonecup of champagne, sits downon the sofa in cornerwithtwofemalestogether.艾瑞克点点头,从路过的侍应生托盘里取了一杯香槟,跟着两女一起在角落里的沙发上坐下。„Eric, hearsyouto planto directnextpersonally007, Ihave gone badsimplyhappily, personallyinquired aboutthismatterincludingPapa, after”threepeoplesit down, BarbaraBullockshiftsin the topic007seriesimmediately, said: „But, Ihave looked atfirst draftscript, Ithoughtthatcomparedin the past, even ifwere that summerjustscreened, this007stylechangesweresomewhatbig?”
“艾瑞克,听到你打算亲自执导下一部007,我简直高兴坏了,连爸爸都亲自过问了这件事呢,”三人坐下后,芭芭拉・布洛克里立刻就将话题转移到了007系列中,道:“不过,我看过了初稿剧本,我觉得,相比于以往,哪怕是暑期刚刚上映的那部,这部007的风格变化是不是有些大了?”Ericaskedat a moderate pace: „Barbara, cansayis more concrete?”艾瑞克不紧不慢地问道:“芭芭拉,可以说的更具体一些吗?”BarbaraBullockinside lane: „Likethisscript, IalwaysfeltthatBond in thissequelhasin the direction of movementdauntless mandevelops, Pierce'smakingsshouldgentrysome . Moreover, in recent years, wecansee, SilvesterStallone, Bruce Willisas well asArnold the representatives of Schwarzeneggerthesedauntless manmoviesare going down hill, 007series of dauntless manroutesare not a wisechoice.”
芭芭拉・布洛克里道:“就像这次剧本里,我总感觉,这部续集里的邦德有朝着动作硬汉的方向发展,皮尔斯的气质应该更绅士一些,而且,最近几年,我们都可以看到,西尔维斯特・史泰龙,布鲁斯・威利斯以及阿诺・施瓦辛格这些硬汉电影的代表都在走下坡路,007系列硬汉路线并不是一个明智的选择。”„Yourmeaningis, weshouldcontinueto maintainPierce Brosnan'sperformancestylein«GoldenEye», right?”
“你的意思是,我们应该继续维持皮尔斯・布鲁斯南在《黄金眼》里的表演风格,是吗?”BarbaraBullocknods, said: „«GoldenEye»is very successful, therefore, Ithought that thisdoes not havewhatimproper.”
芭芭拉・布洛克里点头,道:“《黄金眼》很成功,所以,我觉得这样并没有什么不妥。”Ericlooks at the looknot to move asideis staring atownBarbaraBullock, was tastingjustwords, understood the opposite partyintention. In the final analysis, BarbaraBullockwantsto obtainas beforeto007series of manydomination.艾瑞克望着眼神丝毫不躲闪地盯着自己的芭芭拉・布洛克里,回味着刚刚的话,明白了对方的意图。归根结底,芭芭拉・布洛克里依旧只是想要获得对007系列更多的控制权。„IfIhave not remembered incorrectly, «GoldenEye»globalBox Officeshouldbeabout350 millionnow, the mainticketwarehousecountryhas screenedprobably, then the futuredigitwill not havetoomanychanges. 350 millionUSDglobalBox Office, to the 70 millionUSDproduction cost, makes certainly money, manufacturesfairaccording tothismentality, futureseveralwill bring the goodprofittousas before. However, doesn't Barbara, youwantto make007go a step further?”
“如果我没记错,《黄金眼》的全球票房现在应该是3.5亿左右吧,主要票仓国家大概都已经上映了,那么未来的数字都不会发生太多的变化。3.5亿美元的全球票房,相对于7000万美元的制作成本,当然是非常赚钱的,按照这种思路中规中矩地制作下去,未来几部依旧会给我们带来不错的利润。但是,芭芭拉,难道你就不想让007更进一步吗?”BarbaraBullockhas nippedlip, stubbornsay|way: „Only ifcanknow in advance the resultahead of time, otherwisenobodyknowsone are going forwardorretrocedes.”
芭芭拉・布洛克里咬了下嘴唇,倔强道:“除非能够提前预知结果,否则没有人知道自己是在前进还是后退。”HearsBarbaraBullockto havewith the trend that Ericrefutes, bylifts the chininEricDrew, just about tosaysanything, felt that Erichas patted the racketonownhand back, is peaceful.
听到芭芭拉・布洛克里有与艾瑞克硬顶的趋势,靠在艾瑞克身旁的德鲁抬起下巴,刚要说什么,感觉艾瑞克在自己手背上拍了拍,又安静下来。„Inothersinadvance, if before youdo not pause, is actually a backlash.”Ericcomfortssmall girl, the boothlets gotoBarbaraBullocksaid: „Therefore, wedo not discussthesebewilderedlifephilosophy. Chattedsomerealissue, the changeaboutscriptstyle, in a deeperlevel, I have not wantedto build the intention of dauntless manmovie the Bondseries, Iwanted the Bondmoldwas more vivid, heshouldbe injured, will be defeated, even, will burst into tears, butwas notafterone after anotheris fighting the explosionpursued the car(riage), gentryappearance that as before a clothingneatfine dustdoes not dye.”
“在别人都在前进的时候,如果你停步不前,其实就是一种后退。”艾瑞克安抚住小妮子,摊摊手对芭芭拉・布洛克里说道:“所以,我们还是不要讨论这些莫名其妙的人生哲理了。聊一些更实际的问题吧,关于剧本风格的改变,更深层次上,我并没有想要将邦德系列打造成硬汉电影的意图,我只是想要将邦德塑造的更加有血有肉一些,他应该会受伤,会失败,甚至,会流泪,而不是在一连串打斗爆炸追车后,依旧一副衣衫整齐纤尘不染的绅士模样。”„ButBondshouldbe a gentleman, the audiencewill not mindthesedetails that you said that theyonlyhope that canseebyownblood boilingthing.”
“但邦德本就应该是一位绅士,观众也不会介意你说的这些细节的,他们只希望能够看到让自己热血沸腾的东西。”„Along with the development of special effecttechnology, canmake the personblood boilingmovie more and more, audience'srequestwill be also getting more and more harsh, at this time, ifyoucannot the Bondmoldhassoulsome, the audiencewill be wearyquickly, thenabandonsthisseries.”
“随着特效技术的发展,能够让人热血沸腾的电影会越来越多,观众的要求也将越来越苛刻,这个时候,如果你不能将邦德塑造的更具灵魂一些,观众将会很快厌倦,然后抛弃这个系列。”„......”
“……”BarbaraBullockalsowantsto sayanything, actuallyput out a handto blockbyEric, said: „Like thissaid that Barbara, IcanpromisetoyouexplicitlythatBullockFamilyhas continuedin the authority that in007seriesenjoys, profit sharing that youenjoyedin the pastwill not change. Ifyouwant, you can also hold the post of007series of Producer, but, all thesepremisesare007seriesmustserve the overallbenefit of Metro Goldwyn Mayerdevelopment, ifyouwantedto control007series of completeauthoritiestoformersuchas beforefirmly, Icantellyounow, did not havethispossibility. Moreover, presentMetro Goldwyn Mayer, will not be making the compromisetoYiangProduction Studio, nowweleave007, can the goodsurvival, YiangProduction Studiobe pennilessas before.”
芭芭拉・布洛克里还想说什么,却被艾瑞克伸手拦住,道:“这样说吧,芭芭拉,我可以向你明确许诺,布洛克里家族在007系列中享有的权力会一直持续下去,你们以往享有的利益分成也不会改变。如果你愿意,你也可以一直担任007系列的制作人,但是,这一切的前提是007系列必须符合米高梅发展的整体利益,如果你们依旧想要向以前那样牢牢地掌控住007系列全部的权力,我现在就可以告诉你,没有这种可能。而且,现在的米高梅,是不会在对伊昂制作公司做出妥协的,现在我们离开007,依旧可以良好的生存下去,伊昂制作公司却将一文不名。”Hears the Ericmore and moreseriousexpression, in the BarbaraBullockhearthasintenseanger, butthisair/Qivanishesquickly.
听到艾瑞克越来越严肃的语气,芭芭拉・布洛克里心中生出一股强烈的怒意,但这股气很快又消失殆尽。Ericleaves the time that BarbaraBullockconsiderspatiently, sips the champagne in hand, takes a look at the surroundingguest, the line of sightunknowinglyis seizing a pinksmallformto shakein the surroundings, smiled, wavedtowardChristina, the girlflutteredimmediately.艾瑞克耐心的留给芭芭拉・布洛克里考虑的时间,抿着手中的香槟,四下打量着周围的宾客,视线不经意捉到一个粉色的小身影在周围晃悠,笑了笑,朝克里斯蒂娜挥了挥手,女孩立刻飘了过来。„Hi, Drew,”Christinaarrives atsideseveralpeople, greetedwithDrewcleverlyfirst, makingEricnot know whether to laugh or cry, it seems likegirlinthisgirlheavyweight must be higher thanseveralpointscompared withhim.
“嗨,德鲁,”克里斯蒂娜来到几人身边,却是乖巧地先与德鲁打招呼,让艾瑞克哭笑不得,看来丫头在这妮子心里的重量级比他还要高出几分。Drewactuallyat willnodded, Erichas patted itselfanother side , the Christinashapesatconstrained, is taking a look atBarbaraBullock on diagonally oppositesofacuriously.德鲁却只是随意地点了点头,艾瑞克拍了拍自己另一边,克里斯蒂娜形态拘束地坐了下来,好奇地打量着斜对面沙发上的芭芭拉・布洛克里。„Eric,”a moment later, BarbaraBullockopens the mouthonce more, in the expression seemed to be manymeaning of severalpoints of compromise, said: „007seriesaremyPapalifetimepainstaking care, Ionlyhope, in any event, youryoucantreatitcautiously.”
“艾瑞克,”片刻之后,芭芭拉・布洛克里再次开口,语气里似乎多了几分妥协的意味,道:“007系列是我爸爸一生的心血,我只希望,无论如何,你你能够非常慎重地对待它。”„Naturally, if not likethisseries, Iwill not direct a sequelmoviepersonally,”Erichear of BarbaraBullocksaidthatknows the opposite partyhas not plannedto seekanydominationagain, the guaranteesaidthat said that hehas patted the thin and smallshoulder of Christina, said: „Was right, Barbara, Irecentlyidea, um, firstreportedtoyou, thiswasChristinaAguilera, Christy, thiswasMs.BarbaraBullock, youhave watchedall007series of movies, wastheirfamilyis responsible formanufacturing.”
“当然,如果不是非常喜欢这个系列,我是不会亲自执导一部续集影片的,”艾瑞克听芭芭拉・布洛克里这么说,知道对方已经不打算再寻求什么控制权,跟着保证道,说完,他拍了拍身旁克里斯蒂娜的瘦小的肩膀,道:“对了,芭芭拉,我最近有一个想法,嗯,先向你介绍一下,这是克里斯蒂娜・阿奎莱拉,克里斯蒂,这位是芭芭拉・布洛克里女士,你看过的所有007系列电影,都是他们家族负责制作的。”„Seesyouvery muchhappily, Ms.Bullock, Ilikes007seriesvery much,”, althoughdoes not understand that Ericiswhatintent, Christinaissets outto shake handwithBarbaraBullockcleverly, simultaneouslydoes not forgetslightlyto think highly.
“很高兴见到你,布洛克里女士,我很喜欢007系列呢,”虽然不明白艾瑞克是何意,克里斯蒂娜还是非常乖巧地起身与芭芭拉・布洛克里握握手,同时不忘小小地恭维一下。„Hello, Christy,”BarbaraBullockis havingsomedoubtssimilarly, evenfelt that someare not wonderful, in additioncompromise that butjustmade, the expressionalsoappearedabsent-minded.
“你好,克里斯蒂,”芭芭拉・布洛克里同样带着些许疑惑,甚至感觉有些不妙,再加上刚刚无奈做出的妥协,语气也显得心不在焉。„Isthis, 《Charlie's Angels》seriessecond partincarrying onlater, thenalsoremainingone, after the trilogy, althoughwill have the alternation, but the angelsmustenter the renewaltimeprobably, thisis the early timealready the establishedstrategy, butat present, Ithought that Christinacouldtake one of the next generationangelsuccessors.”
“是这样的,《霹雳娇娃》系列第二部已经在进行后期了,接下来还剩下一部,三部曲之后,虽然会有穿插,但天使们大概就要进入更新换代期,这是早期已经既定的策略,而眼前,我觉得克里斯蒂娜或许可以作为下一代的天使继承人之一。”
The Ericvoicefalls, the eye of Christinahas shoneimmediately, the Drewgrinninglyprobe headlooked at the small girlto be the same, BarbaraBullockwas actually confused.艾瑞克话音落下,克里斯蒂娜的眼睛顿时亮了起来,德鲁则笑嘻嘻地探头看了小丫头一样,芭芭拉・布洛克里却更是一头雾水。Erichas not sold the lawsuit, said: „Since007and《Charlie's Angels》, «Mission: Impossible»will presentvariousoverlapping, therefore, youthoughtthat007series of historicallyyoungestBond girl, thisdoes laugh uproariouslywhat kind of?”艾瑞克并没有卖官司,道:“既然007和《霹雳娇娃》,《碟中谍》会出现各种交叉,所以,你们觉得,007系列历史上年龄最小的邦女郎,这个噱头怎么样?”„?”
“啊?”„Wow!”
“哇哦!”„Real?”
“真的吗?”Looks atthreefemalevariousresponses, Erichas tapped the smallhead of Christina, toDrewandBarbaraBullockinside lane: „Naturallyreal, moreoverthisisIpasses through the result of thinking.”
看着三女各不相同的反应,艾瑞克拍了拍克里斯蒂娜的小脑袋,对德鲁和芭芭拉・布洛克里道:“当然是真的,而且这是我经过深思熟虑的结果。”
Since the originalspace and timehaslaughing uproariously of oldestBond girl, then, this, whycannothavelaughing uproariously of youngestBond girl, this timeChristinaalsoless than16 years old, adds the bodyafterthisvolume of Bond girlcorona, in the futurewill add onothersingle layerCharlie's Angelsstatusagain, thereforeevencanbesomelink, canconnectwellseveralmovieseriestaking advantage ofthis.
既然原时空中有着年龄最大邦女郎的噱头,那么,这一世,为什么不能有年龄最小邦女郎的噱头呢,此时的克里斯蒂娜还不满16岁,经过这一集邦女郎的光环加身,未来再加上另外一重查理的天使的身份,因此甚至可以作为某种纽带,借此也可以更好地将几部电影系列串联起来。Drew is maintainingtoEric the absolute trust, althoughin the eyeflashes throughsomemeaningunclearsmalllooks, looked that alsomakes the small girlhaveto plantto the Christinaexpression to shrink the impulsion of neck, but, Drewanythinghad not saidfinally.德鲁是对艾瑞克保持着绝对信任的,虽然眼中闪过一些意味不明的小眼神,看向克里斯蒂娜的表情也让小丫头有种想要缩脖子的冲动,不过,德鲁最终还是什么都没有说。ActuallyBarbaraBuluoKerryis maintaining very cautiousmanner, said: „Eric, ifsuch, originalscriptmaydefinitelyneedto overthrowto rewrite.”
倒是芭芭拉・布洛克里保持着非常谨慎的态度,道:“艾瑞克,如果这样的吧,原来的剧本可就完全需要推翻重写了。”„No, will not be troublesome, aren't wehave been betrayingBondto find a more reasonableexcuseforVesperfinally?”Ericwas saying, has tapped the smallhead of Christina, said: „Youlookedthatthisdid not have, inoriginalscript, tosave the kidnappedboyfriend, thisreason was really tooforced, now, shehas a blood younger sisterto be kidnapped, thenthereforebetrayedBond, thisreason seemed to be more reasonable.”( To be continued.)
“不,不会那么麻烦的,我们不是一直在为维斯珀最终背叛邦德找一个更加合理的理由吗?”艾瑞克说着,又拍了拍克里斯蒂娜的小脑袋,道:“你看,这不是有了吗,原版剧本里,为了拯救自己被绑架的男友,这个理由实在是太牵强了,现在,她有一个亲妹妹被绑架,然后因此背叛邦德,这个理由似乎更加合理了。”(未完待续。)
