Peter Ritchie thinks that said: „Other Hollywood Film Studio openly took a stand were not many, but Universal openly indicated that this morning must hold the glee feast in the weekend for the fat man professor, in addition, media on unusual is active, this that this matter displayed was our for three years loses the leading power of running schedule after all for the first time to June.,” 彼得里奇想了想,道:“好莱坞其他电影公司对此公开表态的并不多,不过环球今天上午就已经公开表示要在周末为肥佬教授举行庆功宴,此外,媒体方面就这件事表现的非常活跃,这毕竟是我们三年来首次失去对六月份档期的主导权。,” Starting from 1993 Jurassic Park, Firefly by the fixed summer files trilogy strategy, was almost dominating North America firmly in June most popular one month of running schedule, during this period, the movies of other Film Studio products have almost not won any week Box Office champion. 从1993年的侏罗纪公园开始,萤火虫凭借固定的暑期档三部曲策略,几乎牢牢把持着北美六月份最热门的一个月档期,在这期间,其他电影公司出品的影片几乎没有拿到过任何一个周票房冠军。 Because of Firefly summer the files movie continual powerful Box Office performance, Hollywood even the running schedule will have treated as the Firefly private plot in June, several other big Film Studio almost will transfer in June the running schedule the principal movie subconsciously. 因为萤火虫暑期档影片连续的强势票房表现,好莱坞甚至已经将六月份档期当做了萤火虫的自留地,其他几大电影公司几乎会下意识地将自家主打影片调离六月档期。 But this year, 3 animated films that because RMS Titanic and Firefly excel at simultaneously absent summer the files, creates the movie of Firefly principal release, only then two, Universal, Paramount and other Film Studio also start to attempt to hasten to ground the debarkation to be the Firefly golden running schedule. 但今年,因为泰坦尼克号和萤火虫擅长的3动画电影同时缺席暑期档,造成萤火虫主打发行的影片只有两部,环球、派拉蒙等电影公司也都开始尝试抢滩登陆原本属于萤火虫的黄金档期。 Although Firefly has a movie to absent, but several years of Firefly powerful gave other Film Studio to cast very deep shadow at heart in the past. Therefore can want to see, when the Universal black person comedy fat man teaches suppresses Firefly The Rock to win in June the summer files Box Office championship accidentally, the moods of other Hollywood several big Film Studio management meet cheer. Although they openly will not take a stand rashly, but by the period of Hollywood and media circles, these people definitely will express Yu Qi who the other recent years saves through the media channel. 虽然萤火虫有一部影片缺席,但以往几年萤火虫的强势还是给其他电影公司留下了很深的心里阴影。因此可以想见,当环球的黑人喜剧肥佬教授意外压制萤火虫的勇闯夺命岛夺得六月份暑期档票房冠军,好莱坞其他几大电影公司高管的心情会是多么欢呼雀跃。虽然他们不会贸然公开表态,但以好莱坞与传媒界的紧密联系,这些人肯定会通过媒体渠道抒发余下最近几年积攒的郁气。 Is accustomed to by the media bone in the disposition of trimming one's sails, Eric almost can imagine that is more recent the entertainment story on day United States native place newspaper to be able lively. 以媒体骨子里习惯于见风使舵的性格,艾瑞克差不多能够想象到最近一些日子美国本土报纸上的娱乐新闻会有多热闹。 Eric actually specially does not care, just like that Duan dialog was the same in Los Angeles Katzenberg and Frank Wells couple days ago, on the one hand, Firefly is not the listed company, Eric also has the absolute holding power of company, does not need to be worried about and shareholder level from blaming of the capital market. On the other hand, by the itself ample capital strength, the funding chain of Firefly filmmaking as well as release system is completely self-sufficient, does not need to depend upon exterior financing. Therefore, this movie Box Office does not reach the anticipated condition not to have any substantive effect to Firefly, most was only year Film Industry service earning compares will present the shrinkage in the past, but by the extreme uncertainty of film market, this achievement fluctuating was almost any big Film Studio is hard to avoid, at this time occurred on Firefly, actually also not completely was a misdemeanor, at least, can let be suppressed several years of Hollywood colleagues Shu one breaths, reduced to Firefly the hostility and vigilance. 艾瑞克对此却并不是特别在意,正如远在洛杉矶的卡森伯格与弗兰克威尔斯前几天那段对话一样,一方面,萤火虫并不是上市公司,艾瑞克又拥有公司的绝对控股权,不必担心来自资本市场和股东层面的诘难。另外一方面,凭借本身雄厚的资金实力,萤火虫电影制作以及发行体系的资金链完全自给自足,并不需要依靠外部融资。因此,这种电影票房不达预期的状况并不会对萤火虫造成什么实质性影响,最多只是年度电影业务营收方面相比以往会出现缩水,而以电影市场的极度不确定性,这种业绩起伏几乎是任何一家大电影公司都难以避免的,此时发生在萤火虫身上,其实也并不完全是一件坏事,至少,可以让被压制了几年的好莱坞同行们舒一口气,降低一些对萤火虫的敌意与戒心。 In the strange tale with Peter a while, Eric signed in several necessary documents, sends the assistant to leave. 和彼得里奇谈了一会儿,艾瑞克在几份必要的文件上签了字,就打发助理离开。 Leaves the study room to go to downstairs living room, Miranda sees Eric from the building, immediately sets out to welcome, sat a Caucasian female on side single-seat sofa has also stood, the woman wears the white women shirt and black complete knee tight skirt, height one meter about seven, brown hair, the appearance is common, in the look is actually passing the light astuteness. 离开书房来到楼下客厅,米兰达见艾瑞克从楼上下来,立刻起身迎了过来,原本坐在旁边单人沙发上的一个白人女子也站了起来,女人穿着白色女式衬衫和黑色齐膝筒裙,身高一米七左右,一头棕发,样貌一般,眼神中却透着淡淡的精明。 „Eric, this is Claire Weitzman,” Miranda pulls the arm introduction of Eric to say affectionate. “艾瑞克,这就是克莱尔威茨曼,”米兰达亲昵地挽着艾瑞克的手臂介绍道。 Eric signals by nodding the opposite party to sit down, asks: „Are you an intern?” 艾瑞克点头示意对方重新坐下,问道:“你是实习生吧？” „Yes, Mr. Williams, I left school from University of Southern California last year, just since year.” “是的,威廉姆斯先生,我去年从南加大退学,刚刚进入年时间。” The honesty that the United States university student midway discontinuing studies proportion about 50%, Claire will say, Eric does not feel strange, since Claire goes study in the colleges to guess that she perhaps is the children of level, but University of Southern California the North America famous rich person dependent's school, Claire was sent to hold the post of the assistant in Miranda, definitely is not the pure accident, after all, the level definitely knows that through Miranda, can obtain with the opportunity that contact, this estimate is any manager long-awaited personal connection resources. 美国大学生中途辍学比例将近50,克莱尔说的坦诚,艾瑞克也不感到奇怪,只是从克莱尔就读院校上猜测她或许是层的子女,南加大可是北美著名的富人子弟学校,克莱尔被派来担任米兰达的助理,也肯定不是纯粹的意外,毕竟,层肯定知道,通过米兰达,就可以得到与自己接触的机会,这估计是任何一个经纪人都梦寐以求的人脉资源。 Eric is disinclined to pay attention curved circles, said: „Miranda did not have matter here, you accompany her to go to Florida to transfer the revolutions, then returns to Los Angeles.” 艾瑞克懒得理会这其中的弯弯绕绕,道:“米兰达在这边已经没有事情了,你陪她去弗罗里达转转,然后再回洛杉矶吧。” Claire smiles the nod saying: „Naturally does not have the issue, Mr. Williams, this is my work.” 克莱尔微笑着点头道:“当然没问题,威廉姆斯先生,这是我的工作。” Pastes shows the joyful expression on Eric Miranda face, then becomes pitiful, shook the arm of Eric gently, said: „Eric, I, my present successive met the Los Angeles airplane ticket money unable to afford.” 贴在艾瑞克身旁的米兰达脸上露出欣喜的表情,转而又变得可怜兮兮,轻轻晃了晃艾瑞克的手臂,道:“艾瑞克,我,我现在连会洛杉矶的机票钱都买不起了呢。” Eric puts out a hand with a smile, in the girl installed on the pitiful cheek to pinch pinching, pulled out the wallet, wants to write a check to give the girl, Miranda already curious cat lay, took a look toward the Eric wallet in inquisitively. 艾瑞克笑着伸手在女孩装可怜的脸蛋上捏了捏,掏出钱包,本想写张支票给女孩,米兰达已经好奇小猫似的趴过来,探头探脑地朝艾瑞克钱包里瞅。 „, This, black, the black, I have heard, Eric, can I use this black credit card?” “哇,这个,黑色的,黑色的,我听说过呢,艾瑞克,我可以用这张黑色的信用卡吗？” Although famous transporting passed black gold card to 1999 distribute, but actually, the top credit cards of many bank were the black. 虽然大名鼎鼎的运通黑金卡要到1999年才发行,但其实,很多银行的顶级信用卡都是黑色的。 Eric does not collect the hobby, in wallet, only then 34 the credit cards of United States main banks, see the girl to search a small head face heart movement appearance, Eric smiles, the steel writing brush case, extracted that Citigroup black card to give the girl, said: „Nà, cannot spend, to play randomly returns to Los Angeles to go on the little darling some time.” 艾瑞克不是收集癖,钱包里只有34张美国主要银行的信用卡,见女孩探着小脑袋一脸心动的模样,艾瑞克笑笑,将钢笔插了回去,抽出那张花旗黑卡递给女孩,道:“呐,不许乱花,玩一段时间就乖乖回洛杉矶去。” „I know that” the Miranda whole face received that credit card joyfully, honk the powder lip has kissed one above, realizes improper, holds in the arms the neck of Eric to kiss on his face hastily, said: „Eric, you are really a good person.” “我知道啦,”米兰达满脸喜悦地接过那张信用卡,嘟起粉唇在上面亲了一口,意识到不妥,又连忙搂住艾瑞克的脖子在他脸上亲了亲,道:“艾瑞克,你真是好人。” Eric full forehead heavy line, does not have to think an own infinite black card has changed the good person card unexpectedly, owed. 艾瑞克满脑门黑线,没想到自己一张无限黑卡竟然换了张好人卡,太亏了。 Puts out a hand almost to ride Miranda on his both legs to hug, Eric said: „Looks for Peter, making him call my accountant is authorized. Also, later cannot such praise the person.” 伸手将几乎骑到他双腿上的米兰达抱开,艾瑞克道:“去找彼得吧,让他打电话给我的会计师授权一下。还有,以后不许这么夸人。” Sent to entangle the small spirit of person, Eric continues to put into the shoots work of Casino Royale. 打发走缠人的小妖精,艾瑞克继续投入了皇家赌场的拍摄工作。 However, in Hollywood, because The Rock Box Office does not reach the media that anticipated causes to discuss, not, because the outflow of time passes slowly, instead became the start that wind dials. 不过,在好莱坞,因为勇闯夺命岛票房不达预期引起的媒体议论,并没有因为时间的流失慢慢过去,反而成为了一场风拨的开始。 After The Rock first weekend Box Office does not beat the fat man to teach the news that draws a charge, the North America majority of media are seethe with excitement one piece, although they also realized that this celebration victory seethes with excitement is very unreasonable, but Firefly continue wrest away in June the running schedule three years later, for the first time the news of Box Office unfavorable situation, eventually is a flash news, is not even inferior to some United States large-scale financial group suddenly bankruptcy regarding the attraction of general publics the news, therefore, to seek the eyeball behind influence really wants to celebrate, in brief, the news of majority of media to The Rock Box Office unfavorable situation presents the manner of taking pleasure in others'misfortunes. 勇闯夺命岛首周末票房不敌肥佬教授的消息出炉后,北美的大部分媒体可谓是沸腾一片,虽然他们也意识到这种庆祝胜利般的沸腾很没道理,但萤火虫在持续霸占六月档期三年之后,首度票房失利的消息,终究是一个大新闻,对于普通民众的吸引力甚至不亚于美国某家大型财团突然破产倒闭的消息,因此,无论是为了博取眼球还是背后势力真的想要庆祝一下,总之,大部分媒体对勇闯夺命岛票房失利的消息都呈现出幸灾乐祸的态度。 Such noisy one week, on June 21, Universal has manufactured two years of heavyweight movie The Mummy 2 to get online in the entire US more than 3300 silver screens officially, simultaneously screens also has the trump card special representative who Hollywood first 20 million USD salary movie star Jim Carrey of Sony manufacture acts the leading role. 这么吵吵闹闹了一周,6月21号,环球制作了两年的重量级影片木乃伊2在全美3300多块银幕正式上线,同时上映的还有索尼制作的好莱坞首个2000万美元片酬影星金凯瑞主演的王牌特派员。 Before does propaganda that popularity as well as blots out the sky, The Mummy 2 by strong incomparable tendency, short one week of time has harvested 8429 ten thousand USD Box Office in North America, captures is the week Box Office champion at the same time with ease, similarly attained so far position 1996 to show the movie to open the picture best result. 凭借前作累计的人气以及铺天盖地的宣传,木乃伊2以强劲无比的势头,短短一周时间在北美收割了8429万美元票房,轻松夺取当周票房冠军的同时,同样拿到了到目前位置1996年度所有上映影片开画最好成绩。 Meanwhile, The Rock just like Firefly estimate such, although the young people audience community are not many, because of perfect movie quality, next week, only then the Box Office decline range, harvests 3217 ten thousand USD Box Office once more, situated in week Box Office ranking second. 与此同时,勇闯夺命岛正如萤火虫预计的那样,虽然青少年受众群体不多,但因为过硬的影片质量,次周只有的票房跌幅,再次收获3217万美元票房,位居周票房排行榜第二位。 Sony places the great expectations trump card special representative Box Office actually to be lower than the field anticipated, the screening scales of first week more than 2600 silver screens, only harvest 2996 ten thousand USD Box Office, is listed at third, because the Jim Carrey 20 million USD salary greatly enhanced the manufacture budget of movie, the total cost of this movie achieves 60 million USD, low reputation that but displays by the movie, Jim Carrey got rid of initially the first part movie after that contract, possibly was he held the post of the movie actor, first North America Box Office is after also hard broken hundred million movies. 索尼寄予厚望的王牌特派员票房却远低于业界预期,首周2600多块银幕的上映规模,只收获2996万美元票房,排在第三位,因为金凯瑞2000万美元的片酬大幅提高了影片的制作预算,这部电影的总成本达到6000万美元,但以影片表现出来的低迷口碑来看,金凯瑞摆脱当初那份合约后的第一部电影,可能也是他担任电影男主角之后首部北美票房难以破亿的影片。 The afterward fat man teaches also as expected ends up to turn out 39 Box Office decline ranges, week Box Office 274 50,000 USD, are situated fourth. 随后的肥佬教授也不出所料地落得39的票房跌幅,周票房2745万美元,排行第四名。 Screens the fourth week the The Matrix Box Office decline range to achieve 46, has crushed into the week Box Office fifth position by 20 180,000 USD week Box Office, in the meantime, after all around screening, The Matrix North America Box Office breaks through 200 million USD with ease, achieves the 200 million 54 ten thousand USD positions. 上映第四周的黑客帝国票房跌幅达到46,以2018万美元的周票房挤进了周票房第五的位置,同时,经过四周的上映,黑客帝国北美票房轻松突破2亿美元,达到2亿54万美元的位置。 Because of congenitally deficient of The Rock, although it showed the proper strength in next week, but total Box Office of this movie only will frame finally also about the 130 million USD sector. 因为勇闯夺命岛的先天不足,虽然它在次周表现出了应有的实力,但这部影片的总票房最终也只会定格在1.3亿美元左右的区间上。 Therefore, although around The Matrix Box Office broke through 200 million USD, but the media have not let off as before ridicule the Firefly opportunity, but in abundance started the contrast the Firefly this year's Box Office result and last year. 因此,虽然黑客帝国四周票房突破了2亿美元,但媒体依旧没有放过揶揄萤火虫的机会,而是纷纷将萤火虫今年的票房成绩与去年做起了对比。 Firefly last year three movie The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Independence Day of as well as Toy Story 2 summer files, North America Box Office, achieved 800 million 1 more than 1 million USD merely. But proceeds again for several years, Firefly summer files Box Office also placed this level. 萤火虫去年暑期档的三部影片侏罗纪公园2、独力日以及玩具总动员2,仅仅北美票房,累计就达到8亿1100多万美元。而再往前几年,萤火虫暑期档的票房也都维持在这种水平。 But this year, all as if develop rapidly after a sudden turn. 但今年,一切似乎急转直下。 Although The Matrix Box Office broke through 200 million USD, The Rock anticipated Box Office is also doomed this movie to be in the later period Firefly brings the good profit. 虽然黑客帝国票房突破了两亿美元,勇闯夺命岛的预期票房也注定这部影片在后期能够为萤火虫带来不错的盈利。 But by The Matrix anticipated 240 million, The Rock anticipated 130 million USD Box Office, this summer total Box Office of files these two movies has 370 million, to last year 8. The 1.1 billion USD summer files result, the Firefly this year's Box Office result fell 54 largely. 但以黑客帝国预期2.4亿,勇闯夺命岛预期1.3亿美元的票房来看,今年暑期档这两部影片的总票房只有3.7亿,相对于去年8.11亿美元的暑期档成绩,萤火虫今年的票房成绩大幅滑落了54。 The heavyweight movie always has the fire front effect in big Film Studio, because of The Matrix and The Rock is underpowered, can want to see, Firefly over the next year, will compare in various profitability data of last year will also shrink to surpass 50, in addition almost must march into the expected losses that the Waterworld footsteps RMS Titanic brought, Firefly can this year like last year, realized over 2 billion USD year operation profit, completely will be an unknown. 重量级影片在大电影公司从来都有着火车头效应,因为黑客帝国和勇闯夺命岛的动力不足,可以想见,萤火虫在未来一年内,相比于去年的各种盈利数据也将缩水超过50,再加上几乎要步入未来水世界后尘的泰坦尼克号所带来的预期亏损,萤火虫今年能够像去年那样,实现超过20亿美元的年运营利润,将完全是一个未知数。 Even, to Firefly more pessimistic media, this summer the Box Office unfavorable situation of files treats as Firefly to will certainly move toward the decline Firefly the signal. 甚至,一些对萤火虫更加悲观的媒体,将萤火虫今年暑期档的票房失利当做萤火虫必将走向衰落的信号。 In this case, the last week of June, Sound of the Desert of Paramount release, gave Firefly to come one to make up the blade once more perfectly. 这种情况下,六月的最后一周,派拉蒙发行的风中奇缘,再次给萤火虫来了一记完美补刀。 On June 28, Paramount Pictures initially by 2.5 billion USD the Disney Hand-Drawn Animation work room that purchased from the Firefly hand, is the present Paramount animation, has promoted first part 2 Hand-Drawn Animation movie Sound of the Desert. 6月28日,派拉蒙影业当初以25亿美元从萤火虫手中收购的迪斯尼手绘动画工作室,也就是现在的派拉蒙动画,推出了旗下的第一部2手绘动画影片风中奇缘。 Although to the Firefly time, the production cost of this 2 animated film almost doubled, because the Paramount animation one mind wants to give the master a perfect revenge, work room several heads put in the massive energy for this animated cartoon, in the Sound of the Desert movie mass ratio original space and time also wanted on strong many, the movie earlier period merely was only movie Box Office, achieved 590 ten thousand USD. 虽然相对于萤火虫时期,这部2动画电影的制作成本几乎增加了一倍,但因为派拉蒙动画上下一心地想要给老东家一记完美复仇,工作室几位负责人都为这部动画片投入了大量精力,风中奇缘的影片质量比原时空中还要强上许多,影片前期仅仅只是电影票房,就累计达到590万美元。 Although the Sound of the Desert first week cannot duplicate in the past the The Lion King 6 6 million USD Box Office miracles, but its first week 5 1 million USD, 5690 ten thousand USD Box Office result, as before have surpassed the majority of Box Office organization anticipated, will screen first week powerful incomparable The Mummy 2 to throw off in the place, the The Mummy 2 next week Box Office decline range achieves 49, Box Office has 4 1.72 million USD. 风中奇缘首周虽然没能复制当年狮子王6600万美元的票房奇迹,但其第一周5100万美元,累计5690万美元的票房成绩,依旧超过了大部分票房机构预期,甚至将上映首周强势无比的木乃伊2掀翻在地,木乃伊2次周票房跌幅达到49,累计票房只有4172万美元。 It is well known, the Box Office curve of animated film is always good at long-line, Sound of the Desert first week Box Office achieves 5 1 million USD, so long as in the next several weeks the time will maintain 30 within Box Office decline ranges, total Box Office even can touch the 200 million USD critical junction. Afterward, the Sound of the Desert next week 26 Box Office decline ranges, the question did not confirm this point. 众所周知,动画电影的票房曲线从来都善于走长线,风中奇缘首周票房就达到5100万美元,只要未来几周时间保持30以内的票房跌幅,总票房甚至可以触及2亿美元大关。随后,风中奇缘次周26的票房跌幅,毫不疑问地证实了这一点。 In this case, all people completely have disregarded Final Destination that Firefly new line Film Studio and Sound of the Desert same week screened, the bloody terrorist piece of this style alternative such as the summer files first week of forest has attained 1 more than 3 million USD Box Office in the powerhouse, next week decline range was only then 24, Box Office even possibly close 60 million USD, at its 20 million USD cost, in addition overseas Box Office, Final Destination without a doubt is new line this year after Seven another gained the movie greatly. 这种情况下,所有人都完全无视了萤火虫旗下新线电影公司与风中奇缘同一周上映的死神来了,这部风格另类的血腥恐怖片在强者如林的暑期档首周拿到了1300多万美元的票房,次周跌幅更是只有24,累计票房甚至可能接近6000万美元,以其2000万美元的成本来说,再加上海外票房,死神来了毫无疑问是新线旗下今年继七宗罪之后又一部大赚影片。 Naturally, these majority of media are the selectivity disregard, because of the Box Office success of Sound of the Desert, the media starts to shift the spear point, directly aimed at Firefly to abandon the Hand-Drawn Animation behavior in the past. 当然,这些大部分媒体都是选择性无视的,因为风中奇缘的票房成功,媒体开始转移矛头,直接指向当年萤火虫抛弃手绘动画的行为。 Firefly initially sold the inside story of Hand-Drawn Animation work room until now also only then few people know, Firefly is certainly impossible to explain at this time. 萤火虫当初出售手绘动画工作室的内情至今也只有很少一部分人知晓,萤火虫此时当然也不可能进行解释。 Outside is shortly getting more and more lively, the group also has to start to carry on sedan chair to counter-attack. 眼看外面越来越热闹,集团内部也不得不开始进行舆伦反击。 The Matrix Box Office breaks through 200 million USD, is worth celebrating well, to let this movie obtains higher North America Box Office, Firefly arranged Wachowski Brothers to land the b TV Station talk-show. 恰好黑客帝国票房突破两亿美元,值得好好庆祝一下,又为了让这部影片取得更高一些的北美票房,萤火虫安排了沃卓斯基兄弟登陆b电视台的脱口秀节目。 But this talk show, truly has actually brought a trouble to Firefly 而这次脱口秀,却真正地给萤火虫带来了一场麻烦
