At noon, the movie criticism of North America aspect about «RMS Titanic» transmits Venice one after another. 中午时分,北美方面关于《泰坦尼克号》的影评陆续传来威尼斯。 Compares in Europe, Eric as well as the Firefly high level settles on the appraisal of North America media to this movie, after all, «RMS Titanic» often screen compared with the overseas market in the North America market, it Box Office performance in the North America market, is affecting to a great extent also the overseas market. 相比于欧洲,艾瑞克以及萤火虫高层都更加看中北美媒体对这部电影的评价,毕竟,《泰坦尼克号》在北美市场往往要比海外市场率先上映,其在北美市场的票房表现,很大程度上也影响着海外市场。 However, that side North America the media commentary about «RMS Titanic» is not similarly optimistic. 不过,北美那边关于《泰坦尼克号》的媒体评论同样并不乐观。 Although many «Today United States», 《The New York Times》 and «Hollywood Reporter» and other newspaper praise profusely to the movie, 《The New York Times》 even also highly praises this movie is ‚endures to compare the «Gone with the Wind» masterpiece’. But similarly, 《Los Angeles Times》 and «The Washington Post» and other newspaper also not mince criticize this movie is a story mediocre plot long rotten piece, whether 《Los Angeles Times》 even also publicly questions this movie real value 215 million USD. 虽然不乏《今日美国》、《纽约时报》、《好莱坞报道者》等报纸对电影大加称赞,《纽约时报》甚至还盛赞这部影片为‘堪比《乱世佳人》的杰作’。但同样,《洛杉矶时报》、《华盛顿邮报》等报纸也毫不掩饰地批评这部电影为一部故事平庸情节冗长的烂片,《洛杉矶时报》甚至还公开质疑这部影片是否真的价值2.15亿美元。 Eric only remembers that previous life «RMS Titanic» screens the later infinite scenery, regarding this movie in the screening beforehand bitter experience, only remains at the Cameron rough manufacture stage approximately, that is the result of media report, screened the beforehand reputation as for «RMS Titanic», Eric really does not understand. 艾瑞克只记得前世《泰坦尼克号》上映之后的无限风光,对于这部影片在上映之前的遭遇,大致也只停留在卡梅隆的坎坷制作阶段,那还是媒体报道的结果,至于《泰坦尼克号》上映之前的口碑,艾瑞克就不甚了解了。 Therefore, at this time looks that the movie simultaneously presents the reputation of polarization in Europe and North America, he unavoidably is also disturbed. 因此,此时看着影片在欧洲和北美同时出现两极分化的口碑,他也不免忐忑起来。 In the Eric memory has the movie of many reputation polarization, this type of movie often common traits, that by novel, cartoon and other original work reorganization of bean noodles movies . Moreover, Box Office of similar movie basically has under the force propaganda of Film Studio, earlier Box Office slight increases but the stamina serious insufficient characteristics. 艾瑞克记忆中有着很多口碑两极分化的电影,这种类型的电影往往有一个共同特点,那就是以小说、漫画等原创作品改编的粉丝型电影,而且,类似影片的票房基本上都有着在电影公司的强力宣传下,前期票房高企但后劲严重不足的特点。 «RMS Titanic» absolutely is not the bean noodles movie in any event, then, under the current polarization reputation, the prospect is hard the expectation. 《泰坦尼克号》无论如何都绝对算不上粉丝型电影,那么,在当前的两极分化口碑下,前景就更加难于预料。 After all, the bean noodles movie can also by the popularity that the original work accumulates, in picture most recent several weeks of harvest big Box Office, even if the stamina is insufficient, total Box Office will not be often disappointing. But «RMS Titanic» did not have this superiority, it is impossible to attain high Box Office of similar bean noodles movie in the screening most recent several weeks, once late reputation as before polarization, in situation that then the stamina is insufficient, Box Office absolutely be drearier than the bean noodles movie. 毕竟,粉丝型电影还可以凭借原作积累的人气,在开画前几周收获大笔票房,即使后劲不足,总票房往往也不会太差劲。但《泰坦尼克号》却没有了这种优势,它在上映前几周不可能拿到类似粉丝型电影的高票房,一旦后期的口碑依旧两极分化,那么后劲不足的情况下,累计票房绝对要比粉丝型电影惨淡很多。 Next day, Peter Ritchie shows the questionnaire of number that dozens ordinary movie fan audiences to deliver to front of Eric movie, in these questionnaires, the majority of audiences have given the positive appraisal to «RMS Titanic», but also some audiences complained that the movie is long the preliminary upholstery slightly to be extremely fat and other issues. 第二天,彼得・里奇将影片展映场次那几十位普通影迷观众的调查问卷送到艾瑞克面前,这些调查问卷中,大部分观众都对《泰坦尼克号》给与了积极的评价,但也有少量观众抱怨影片过于漫长前期铺垫略显臃肿等问题。 On July 29, in the afternoon. 7月29日,下午。 Eric will soon take the airplanes of seven o'clock to fly to London in the evening, this is the last brief meeting of «RMS Titanic» dramatic team. 艾瑞克即将乘坐晚上七点钟的飞机飞往伦敦,这是《泰坦尼克号》剧组的最后一次碰头会。 The movie determined that will screen in December 20 of Christmas files, the public propaganda announced this date, does not have the possibility that changes once more. At this time, Eric, Katzenberg and James Cameron as well as several other middle management of Firefly Group accompanying sit in the living room in magnificent island hotel Eric anteroom together. 影片确定将在圣诞档的12月20日上映,公开的宣传已经公布了这一日期,不存在再次更改的可能性。此时,艾瑞克、卡森伯格、詹姆斯・卡梅隆以及萤火虫集团随行的其他几位中层管理一起坐在丽都岛酒店艾瑞克套房的客厅里。 „The present situation is not too truly good, but, I hope that you according to the established announcement strategy, stressed on facing the propaganda of youth audience community.” Was saying these, Eric looked at other Katzenberg as well as several management, thinks some details in derivation space and time, adds: „Also a little, how regardless of the outside appraises «RMS Titanic», but I do not hope that Firefly presents itself to open the sound of oneself stage, if makes me discover that which management expressed anything to the media carelessly, he waited to pack the thing to leave. My words ended, what opinion does everybody have?” “现在的情况确实不算太好,不过,我希望你们按照既定的宣发策略,侧重于面向年轻观众群体的宣传。”说着这些,艾瑞克看了看卡森伯格以及其他几位高管,想起原时空中的一些细节,补充道:“还有一点,无论外界如何评价《泰坦尼克号》,但我不希望萤火虫内部出现自己拆自己台的声音,如果让我发现有哪位高管胡乱对媒体表达什么,那他就等着收拾东西走人吧。我的话完了,大家还有什么意见？” „Mr. Williams, is this,” a release department high pipeline: „Yesterday I received the call of Japan Toho international management, they hope that can sell outright the «RMS Titanic» Japan distribution rights ahead of time, including theater release and recording tape, DVD peripheral.” “威廉姆斯先生,是这样的,”发行部门一位高管道:“昨天我接到了日本东宝国际一位高管的电话,他们希望能够提前买断《泰坦尼克号》的日本发行权,包括影院发行和录像带、DVD等周边。” Eric selects the eyebrow slightly, that management thinks that Eric does not know Toho international, said: „Toho international is one of the Japan several big main distributors.” 艾瑞克微微挑眉,那位高管以为艾瑞克不知道东宝国际,又道:“东宝国际是日本几大主要发行商之一。” „This I know that” Eric nods, even if in his present heart is somewhat disturbed, but has not sold the distribution rights like previous life Fox absolutely ahead of time the meaning, but, Eric curiously asked: „Their initial price how many?” “这个我知道,”艾瑞克点点头,即使他现在心中有些忐忑,但也绝对没有像前世福克斯那样提前卖出发行权的意思,不过,艾瑞克还是好奇地问道:“他们开价多少？” „3 billion Japanese Yen,” that management looked down a memorandum, said: „Probably is 25 million USD.” “30亿日元,”那位高管低头看了眼备忘录,道:“大概是2500万美金。” Katzenberg hears the offer of opposite party, starts to calculate at heart fast, because of the «The Terminator» series, Cameron has very high popularity in Japan, it is estimated that this is also Toho international ahead of time settles on one of the «RMS Titanic» reasons . Moreover, the superelevation budget as well as the current wind of «RMS Titanic» comment the polarization the condition, is the primary cause that Japanese gets rid , the opposite party must bet obviously, and will determine Firefly likely to accept this ‚gambling approximately’. 卡森伯格听到对方的报价,心里就开始快速盘算,因为《终结者》系列,卡梅隆在日本有着非常高的人气,估计这也是东宝国际提前看中《泰坦尼克号》的原因之一,另外,《泰坦尼克号》的超高预算以及当前风评两极分化的状况,也是日本人出手的主要原因,对方明显是要赌一把,并且判定萤火虫很可能会接受这份‘赌约’。 The 25 million USD affirmation is only the preliminary offer, the Japanese psychological price should in 30 million USD about. Because sells outright the comprehensive distribution rights in Japan aspect, then, according to the 30 million price expectation, Japanese regarding native Box Office anticipated should in 60 million USD about, only by doing so, be able to guarantee that later recoups the cost completely and realizes the profit. 2500万美元肯定只是初步报价,日本人的心理价位应该在3000万美元左右。因为是买断日本方面的全面发行权,那么,按照3000万的预期价格,日本人对于本土票房的预期应该在6000万美元左右,只有这样,才可以保证后期完全收回成本并实现盈利。 60 million USD Japan Box Office, although is unable to reach initially the «Jurassic Park» 120 million USD altitude, but surpassed the Hollywood big manufacture movie absolutely in the Japan average Box Office value. 6000万美元的日本票房,虽然无法达到当初《侏罗纪公园》1.2亿美元的高度,但绝对超过好莱坞大制作电影在日本的平均票房数值了。 Moreover, regarding the Hollywood issuing company, is divided into the proportion according to 35% overseas, wants to take back 30 million USD Box Office in Japan, actually needs probably 100 million USD Japan Box Office, naturally, this point has not calculated Japan aspect the recording tape and other incomes, but the peripheral copyright operation cycle of this overseas market, even is longer than the United States native place, if the computing time cost, disposable the Japan distribution rights will sell completely, is very cost-effective. 而且,对于好莱坞发行公司来说,按照35%的海外分成比例,想要在日本收回3000万美元票房,却需要大概1亿美元的日本票房,当然,这一点并没有算进日本方面的录像带等收益,但这海外市场的周边版权运营周期,甚至比美国本土都还要漫长,如果计算时间成本,一次性将全部日本发行权卖出,还是非常划算的。 Clears off the mentality fast, Katzenberg said: „Eric, I thought that could consider, we should be able to talk about 30 million USD finally.” 快速理清思路,卡森伯格道:“艾瑞克,我觉得,或许可以考虑一下,我们最终应该能谈到3000万美元左右。” „No, after” short silence, Eric then shakes the head, said: „Does not sell, everybody, if there are other aspects to contact, wants to sell outright the «RMS Titanic» distribution rights, same rejection.” “不,”短暂的沉默后,艾瑞克便摇头,道:“不卖,大家,如果有其他方面接触,想要买断《泰坦尼克号》发行权的话,一律拒绝。” Sees the people puzzled puzzled vision, the Eric booth lets go, the hoodlum said very much: „This, perhaps you want to explain, but I do not know how should explain, does not sell. Since were in this situation, regardless of the victory and loss, everybody is imposing.” 见众人一脸疑惑不解的目光,艾瑞克摊摊手,很光棍地说道:“就这样,或许你们想要解释,但我不知道该怎么解释,就是不卖。既然已经到了这一地步,无论输赢,大家都轰轰烈烈一场吧。” Several other management somewhat are in a daze, the Cameron expression that has been silent slightly is excited, Katzenberg is smiling bitterly shaking the head, saw rarely Eric is so childish willful side, young people. 其他几位高管都有些发愣,一直沉默不语的卡梅隆表情略显激动,卡森伯格则苦笑着摇了摇头,难得看到艾瑞克如此孩子气般任性的一面,到底还是年轻人啊。 However, truly, since to present this situation, wanted to depend upon sells the distribution rights to recoup the cost ahead of time, is impossible, instead will only bring in some fellows of taking advantage, as well as media under this behavior further looks to fade. 不过,确实,既然已经到了现在这种地步,想要依靠提前贩售发行权收回成本,根本就不可能,反而只会引来一些趁火打劫的家伙,以及在这种行为下媒体的进一步看衰。 Then, regardless of the result, to be how imposing. 那么,无论结局如何,都轰轰烈烈一场吧。 In any case, Firefly Group also sufficiently undertakes this failure, this failure can also according to the plan, reform the company slightly radical movie-making strategy, when the time comes, thinks that Eric will not oppose again. 反正,萤火虫集团也足以承担这种失败,这次失败也可以按照计划,对公司略显激进的制片策略进行改革,到时候,想必艾瑞克也不会再反对了。 After afternoon conference, Eric flies to London, Katzenberg goes to Paris, Cameron will also be bringing the «RMS Titanic» dramatic team as well as the Firefly release department staff tomorrow returns to Los Angeles, starts to arrange the official propaganda work of «RMS Titanic». 下午的会议之后,艾瑞克飞往伦敦,卡森伯格前往巴黎,卡梅隆明天也将带着《泰坦尼克号》剧组以及萤火虫发行部门工作人员返回洛杉矶,开始筹备《泰坦尼克号》的正式宣传工作。 In the evening seven o'clock take off in Venice, after two hours, the personal commerce machine then lands on the London Heathrow Airport, under Eric has the last batch to accompany the airplane, the first feeling is cold. 傍晚七点钟在威尼斯起飞,两个小时后,私人商务机便在伦敦希斯罗机场降落,艾瑞克带着最后一批随从下飞机,第一感觉就是冷。 Venice is also as warm as in spring at this time, but end of August or early September London, night the temperature fell about 10 degrees, 007 series of producer Barbara Bullock and Michael Will abdicates the brother and sister to come to pick together, the people exchanged greetings several, then together drove to go to Heathrow Airport not far pinery Film Studio. 威尼斯此时还温暖如春,但八月底九月初的伦敦,夜晚气温已经降到了10度左右,007系列的制片人芭芭拉・布洛克里和迈克尔・威尔逊兄妹一起过来接机,众人寒暄几句,便一起开车前往离希斯罗机场并不远的松林制片厂。 Mentioned 007 series, besides building the Bullock Family of this legendary agent movie series, has to mention pinery Film Studio situated in United Kingdom London northwestern suburbs. 说起007系列,除了打造这一传奇特工电影系列的布洛克里家族,就不得不提及位于英国伦敦西北郊外的松林制片厂。 first part «Dr.» started from 1963, the indoor scene plays of 007 major part sequels almost in pinery Film Studio shoots. 007 series also once became the pinery Film Studio come income support, caused it since the television profession rose as well as Europe the movie decline and other factor of under the impacts can preserve as before. Because of the great significance of 007 series to Film Studio, in pinery Film Studio besides the symbolic 007 special-purpose movie studios, by the constructions of 007 element names, several main roads in campus also basically by 007 series of contract, separately was called ‚Bullock main road’ and ‚007 main roads’ and ‚the Goldfinger main road’. 从1963年第一部《诺博士》开始,007大部分续集的内景戏几乎都在松林制片厂拍摄。007系列也一度成为松林制片厂的主要收入支撑,使其在电视行业崛起以及欧洲电影衰落等因素的冲击下依旧能够保存至今。因为007系列对制片厂的重大意义,松林制片厂内除了标志性的007专用摄影棚外,还有很多以007元素命名的建筑,园区内的几条主干道也基本上被007系列承包,分别叫‘布洛克里大道’、‘007大道’和‘金手指大道’。 That night settled on the close neighbor pinery Film Studio eastern small town, next morning, Bullock brother and sister will then bring Eric to enter the Film Studio campus, today does not have shoots to plan, Eric mainly first is familiar with next next two months of shoots locations. 当天晚上在紧邻松林制片厂东部的小镇上安顿下来,第二天上午,布洛克里兄妹便带着艾瑞克进入制片厂园区,今天并没有拍摄计划,艾瑞克主要是先熟悉一下未来两个月的拍摄场地。 Brought Eric to walk in this about 30 hectares campus, has inspected several background that was «Casino Royale» arranges ahead of time, the Barbara Bullock inside lane: „The next two months, London here temperature will be getting more and more cold, therefore we that water the actor's pay arrangement Bond and in Vesper's three days later, Eric, we that side the passing water tank had a look at first.” 带着艾瑞克在这座30公顷左右的园区内走了一遍,检查了几处为《皇家赌场》提前安排的布景,芭芭拉・布洛克里道:“未来两个月,伦敦这边的气温会越来越冷,所以我们把邦德和维斯珀的那场水中戏份安排在了三天后,艾瑞克,我们先过去水箱那边看看吧。” Pinery Film Studio has the Europe biggest underwater photography facility, the whole can hold 1200 tons water, this similarly was initially for 007 series, but constructs specially. 松林制片厂有着欧洲最大的水下摄影设施,整体可以容纳1200吨水,这同样是当初为了007系列而专门建造的。 Eric retained in original Bond and Vesper's underwater/submarine bidding farewell actor's pay after Venice that building collapsing, but, this play definitely impossible shoots in the Venice city, but moved the underwater photography base in pinery Film Studio. 艾瑞克保留了原版中邦德和维斯珀在威尼斯那栋建筑垮塌后的水下诀别戏份,不过,这场戏肯定不可能在威尼斯城内拍摄,而是挪到了松林制片厂内的水下摄影基地。 Eric nods, arrives in a movie studio along with Bullock brother and sister together. 艾瑞克点点头,随着布洛克里兄妹一起来到一栋摄影棚内。 At first sight, in the movie studio just likes a giant indoor natatorium, but is in effect it is not so, if simply constructs an indoor basin, from all over the world any Film Studio can complete. The pinery Film Studio underwater photography base biggest superiority with its is having one set of perfect underwater/submarine shoots equipment as well as the plan. 乍看之下,摄影棚内犹如一个巨大的室内游泳馆,但其实不然,如果只是简单地建造一个室内水池,世界各地任何一家制片厂都可以完成。松林制片厂的水下摄影基地最大的优势就在与其拥有一整套完善的水下拍摄设备以及方案。 The people who has made the movie know, aquatic shoots underwater/submarine shoots, so long as in any case moistens sails upstream, the shoots difficulty will increase considerably, like initially Cameron «The Abyss» as well as Kevin Costner «Waterworld», just manufactured «RMS Titanic» that completes, reason that these movies spend greatly, very important reason is because involved with water related shoots. 做过电影的人都知道,无论是水上拍摄还是水下拍摄,反正只要沾上水,拍摄难度都会大大增加,就像当初卡梅隆的《深渊》以及凯文・科斯特纳的《未来水世界》,还有刚刚制作完成的《泰坦尼克号》,这些影片之所以都耗资巨大,很重要一个原因就是因为涉及到了与水相关的拍摄。 Although the dramatic team is still resting today, but the underwater/submarine movie studio as before several «Casino Royale» staff in bustling about, Eric were also seeing his serving as a tool photographer Nickel Frank is putting on the diver's suit whole body to stand by the basin puts on the person of diver's suit to discuss anything dripping wet with another similarly. 虽然今天剧组还在休息,但水下摄影棚内部依旧有几位《皇家赌场》的工作人员在忙碌着,艾瑞克还看到了他的御用摄影师尼克尔・弗兰克正穿着潜水衣浑身湿淋淋地站在水池旁与另外一个同样穿潜水衣的人讨论着什么。 Saw that Eric and Bullock brother and sister appear, the people open the mouth to greet, Nickel also had another person to walk, after having greeted, introduced: „Eric, this is David Reyes, pinery Film Studio underwater/submarine photographer.” 看到艾瑞克和布洛克里兄妹出现,众人都开口打招呼,尼克尔还带着另外一人走了过来,打过招呼后,介绍道:“艾瑞克,这位是大卫・瑞斯,松林制片厂的水下摄影师。” „Hello, Mr. Reyes, could trouble you in the next few days.” Eric smiled is putting out a hand to grasp grasping with the opposite party, Nickel after these years experiences, although is one of the Hollywood most top photographers, but has not actually stepped in underwater/submarine shoots, therefore, this shoots must depend upon the specialty underwater/submarine photographer in pinery Film Studio to assist to a great extent. “你好,瑞斯先生,未来几天可能要麻烦你了。”艾瑞克微笑着伸手与对方握了握,尼克尔经过这些年的历练,虽然已经是好莱坞最顶级的摄影师之一,但却没有涉足过水下拍摄,因此,这次拍摄很大程度上还要依靠松林制片厂内的专业水下摄影师协助。 David Reyes and Eric shake hand, similarly smiles was saying: „Mr. Williams, can cooperate with you are my being honored.” 大卫・瑞斯与艾瑞克握着手,同样微笑着说道:“威廉姆斯先生,能与你合作是我的荣幸。” Eric arrives at the basin, puts out a hand to try the water temperature, said: „Now the temperature is quite low, how many are here water temperature probably?” 艾瑞克走到水池边,伸手试了试水温,道:“现在温度比较低,这里的水温大概是多少？” „About 20 degrees, with room temperature quite,” David Reyes explained on own initiative: „But, during shoots, we can open the lukewarm water circulatory system, water temperature control in a more suitable temperature.” “20度左右吧,与室温相当,”大卫・瑞斯主动解释道:“不过,拍摄期间,我们可以开启温水循环系统,将水温控制在更加适宜的温度上。” Narrows the eye to look toward under water, Eric has not seen bottom of the water tank, asked: „Water depth?” 眯起眼睛朝水底望了望,艾瑞克没有看到水箱底部,又问道:“水深呢？” „Here is the profundal zone, the water depth is six meters,” David Sidong: „Because of that iron basket over two meters, to avoid putting on the help, therefore, «Casino Royale» underwater/submarine background mainly in some regions.” “这边是深水区,水深为六米,”大卫・瑞斯道:“因为那个铁笼子就超过两米,为了避免穿帮,所以,《皇家赌场》的水下布景主要在这部分区域。” They chatted several, Nickel said: „Eric, we have done well the underwater/submarine background, can you get down to have a look?” 两人聊了几句,尼克尔道:“艾瑞克,我们已经弄好了水下布景,你要下去看看吗？” Eric nods, David Reyes brings Eric to go to change among the clothes on own initiative, after changing the diver's suit, Nickel and David Reyes also illustrated with him, three people then slowly launch. 艾瑞克点点头,大卫・瑞斯主动带着艾瑞克前往换衣间,换上潜水衣之后,尼克尔和大卫・瑞斯又和他解说了一番,三人这才缓缓下水。 The surrounding piece raids icy coldly, the Eric physical quality is good, therefore, after the moment, then slowly adapts. 周围一片冰凉袭来,艾瑞克的身体素质不错,因此,片刻后便缓缓适应过来。 Although looks at a profundity on the water surface, but sneaks in the water, in addition some lights, approximately can see the surrounding scene. 虽然在水面上望下去一片幽深,但潜入水中,再加上些许灯光,大致就已经能够看到周围的场景。 The surrounding background collapses after Venice that building the wreckage establishment, arrives at the arrange scenic area, all around is scattering very lifelike remnant of destroyed building everywhere, under water just liked has a building just to sink. 周围的布景是按照威尼斯那栋建筑坍塌后的残骸设置的,来到布景区,四周到处散落着非常逼真的断壁残垣,犹如真的有一栋建筑刚刚沉入水底。 Nickel and David Reyes brought Eric to transfer for several minutes under water, then dived the water surface, discussed some details, Eric being just about let David Switzerland brought to test under launching the underwater camera the shoots effect, his assistant Peter Ritchie never the distant place walked, took the cell phone to hint toward Eric under. 尼克尔和大卫・瑞斯带着艾瑞克在水底转了几分钟,然后潜出水面,一起讨论了一些细节,艾瑞克正要让大卫・瑞士将水下摄影机拿来测试一下水下拍摄效果,他的助理彼得・里奇从不远处走过来,拿着手机朝艾瑞克示意了下。 „Everybody waits a bit, I could answer a telephone,” Eric was saying, near the ladder following pond except for the basin, received the big towel that staff hand over to scratch simply has brushed on water-damaged, to Peter Ritchie walks. “大家稍等,我可能要接个电话,”艾瑞克说着,顺着池边的梯子除了水池,接过一个工作人员递过来的大毛巾简单擦了擦身上的水渍,就向彼得・里奇走去。
