Without a doubt, what in Actor obtains benefits is biggest is Julia Roberts, along with 《Pretty Woman》 continues to screen, Julia felt one intruded in an unprecedented world, in the new world, everyone to her is that respectful amiable, the courteous reception, regards a princess her simply. 毫无疑问,演员中获益最大的是茱莉亚罗伯茨,随着《风月》的持续上映,茱莉亚感觉自己闯入了一个前所未有的世界里,在新的世界里,每个人对她都是那么恭敬谦和,礼遇有加,简直把她当成一个公主。 When ABC records a talk-show, the entire manufacture group is gathering round her to transfer, records the process each detail, program Director earnestly asks her opinion. 在ABC录制一个脱口秀节目的时候,整个制作组都在围着她转,录制过程的每一个细节,节目导演都认真地询问她的意见。 Meanwhile, the reward rich movie film approximately, advertisement approximately, represented approximately as well as other types invites to stream, her salary drew a charge along with first weekend Box Office, rose to 5 million USD directly, this digit made many actors be able not hold a candle. 同时,报酬丰厚的电影片约、广告约、代言约以及其他各式邀约纷至沓来,她的片酬随着首周末的票房出炉,直接蹿升到500万美金,这个数字让很多男星都望尘莫及。 Al Pacino also thoroughly got rid for four years ago shadow of that failure, the whole person becomes high-spirited, very long has not related in some circles the good friend suddenly had braved recently, party meeting one after another. 阿尔帕西诺也彻底摆脱了四年前那次失败的阴影,整个人变得意气风发,很久没有联系过的一些圈中好友最近都突然冒了出来,派对聚会一个接一个。 Naturally, some people of self-satisfied some people of frustrations, started that is coordinating United Artists propaganda recent work «Road House» Richard Gere most loses without doubt. Before his manager , the tongue Can Lianhuade praised to ascend the sky «Road House» this project, simultaneously Eric having no merit to speak of new piece censuring. Although Richard Gere knows reason that his manager such makes, but he thought that has rejected invitation of Eric, can sell a Michael Ovitz favor. Therefore has chosen «Road House». 当然,有人得意就有人失意,已经开始配合着联美宣传新作《威龙杀阵》的理查基尔无疑是最失落的那个。他的经纪人之前舌灿莲花地将《威龙杀阵》这个项目夸上了天,同时将艾瑞克的新片贬的一无是处。理查基尔虽然知道他经纪人这么做的原因,但他觉得拒绝了艾瑞克的邀约,可以卖迈克尔奥维茨一个人情。所以就选择了《威龙杀阵》。 If 《Pretty Woman》 has not obtained the so huge success, even if only Box Office slightly explodes, Richard Gere will not have too the feeling, what a pity 《Pretty Woman》 has succeeded, moreover attains greatly successfully, the first week income can be as good as total Box Office of many movie. Saw that these Richard Gere are also again hard to be calm. 如果《风月》没有获得如此巨大的成功,哪怕只是票房小爆一下,理查基尔都不会有太多感觉,可惜《风月》成功了,而且是大获成功,第一周收入就抵得上很多电影的总票房。看到这些的理查基尔再也难以淡定下来。 This type was not calm makes him forget gave up 《Pretty Woman》 being more his choice, if the entertainer himself insisted that met a piece of movie to make, although after Creative Artists Agency, will wear the small shoes to it, but cannot force to stop the Actor behavior. But Richard Gere naturally put the blame in all mistakes Creative Artists Agency, he felt that he became Michael Ovitz has played with individual | the sacrificial victim of authority. 这种不淡定让他忘记了放弃《风月》更多还是他自己的选择,如果艺人本身坚持接一部电影的片约,CAA虽然之后会给其穿小鞋,但也不能强制制止演员的行为。但理查基尔还是自然而然地将所有过错归咎到了CAA身上,他感觉自己成了迈克尔奥维茨玩弄个人丨权力的牺牲品。 Headquarters of Coca Cola situated in Atlanta, one time is holding to the Columbia important conference. 可口可乐位于亚特兰大的总部,一次对哥伦比亚至关重要的会议正在举行。 In this time Coca Cola Chairman Guo Sida hand is taking «Home Alone» and some materials of 《Pretty Woman》 these two movies, place interrogations sit in Columbia Chairman Blunt Cohen of below head. 此时的可口可乐总裁郭思达手中拿着《小鬼当家》、《风月俏佳人》这两部电影的一些资料,一项项地质问坐在下首的哥伦比亚总裁布朗特科恩。 „To betting agreement, this is your first fault, naturally, by the «Home Alone» income, the Columbia stock price from beforehand 12 USD, rises present 14 USD, this fault can be merits balance the demerits.” “对赌协议,这是你的第一项失误,当然,凭借《小鬼当家》的收益,哥伦比亚的股价从之前的12美元,上涨到了现在的14美元,这项失误可以算是功过相抵。” Guo Sida said that has traded another document, then said: „But following, your erroneous behavior directly caused the Eric Williams revolutions to throw Fox, estimated according to the organization that 《Pretty Woman》 North America Box Office possibly achieved 200 million USD, overseas Box Office could surpass 50% of North America native place, the pure Box Office income can be Fox brings at least the 80 million USD profit, these should be Columbia.” 郭思达说完,换了另外一份文件,接着道:“但接下来,你的错误行为直接导致了艾瑞克威廉姆斯转投福克斯,根据机构预计,《风月》的北美票房可能达到两亿美金,海外票房可能要超过北美本土的50%,单纯票房收益就可以为福克斯带来至少8000万美元的利润,这些本来都应该是哥伦比亚的。” Blunt Cohen does not dare to refute, calmly was waiting for the Coca Cola Board of Directors final act, actually, he knew his result before. The Film Studio high level looks like the scenery, actually few people can know tremendous pressure that behind them faces. 布朗特科恩一句也不敢反驳,静静地等待着可口可乐董事会的最后决议,其实,他之前就已经知道自己的结果了。电影公司高层看起来风光,却很少人能知道他们背后面临的巨大压力。 Frequently the investments of tens of millions USD, each movie opens the result, will bring the high-level change, some people because of the huge loss, take off to leave directly, henceforth is unable to recover. Because some people the project is successful, immediately was promoted the top digit, enjoys more authorities and benefits, naturally, but must continue to be fearful and apprehensive for the following project. 动辄数千万美元的投资,每一次电影上映结果,都会带来高层的变动,有人因为巨额亏损,直接卷铺盖走人,从此一蹶不振。有人因为项目成功,顿时被提拔高位,享受更多的权力和利益,当然,还要继续为接下来的项目胆战心惊。 Blunt Cohen also knows, reason that oneself faced with the present scolded situation, Eric Williams is only a cause, or gave a pretext. What is most important was he sold to Japanese to have the opposition regarding Coca Cola Columbia. 布朗特科恩也知道,自己之所以面临现在被责难的情况,艾瑞克威廉姆斯只是一个诱因,或者说借口。最重要的还是他本人对于可口可乐将哥伦比亚卖给日本人持反对态度。 Disclosed according to some channels news that Coca Cola Board of Directors has officially decided and Japan Sony opening acquisition negotiation. In this case, this does Chairman trade does not matter, must sell to Japanese in any case quickly. 根据一些渠道透露出来的消息,可口可乐董事会已经正式决定与日本索尼开启收购谈判了。这种情况下,他这个总裁换不换都无所谓的,反正很快就要卖给日本人了。 But before him, to keep own position, has contacted with many people, wants boycott this transaction. This matter definitely cannot hide the truth from the Coca Cola high level, once has succeeded, nobody will say anything. But after the failure, must faced with the bitter fruit that the failure brings. 但他之前为了保住自己的位置,联系了很多人,想要联合抵制这次交易。这种事情肯定瞒不过可口可乐高层,一旦成功了,没有人会说什么。但失败之后,就要面临失败带来的苦果。 „... Therefore, I formally announce the Board of Directors resolution now, relieves Mr. Blunt Cohen Columbia TriStar Film Industry Group the Chairman duty, immediately becomes effective.” “…因此,我现在正式宣布董事会决议,解除布朗特科恩先生哥伦比亚－三星影业集团总裁职务,立即生效。” Guo Sida reads off the Board of Directors resolution, discussed other topics, declares the meeting adjourned, but Blunt Cohen takes Chairman, naturally was retained some dignity, had not been detained by the security is returning to Los Angeles Columbia Headquarters to pack the baggage. 郭思达读完董事会决议,又商议了一些其他话题,才宣布散会,而布朗特科恩作为总裁,当然还是被保留了一些体面的,没有被保安押着回洛杉矶哥伦比亚总部去收拾行李。 Blunt Cohen face Xiao Suo leaves, Guo Sida has not actually walked, but came to another reception room. 布朗特科恩一脸萧索地离开,郭思达却并没有走,而是来到了另外一间会客室。 „Mr. Guo Sida, hello.” Opens the door, sat the woman on sofa has stood, puts out a hand to call warmly. “郭思达先生,你好。”推开门,原本坐在沙发上的女人站了起来,热情地伸手招呼道。 Guo Sida and opposite party grasped started, say with a smile: „Made you wait for a long time, Amy.” 郭思达与对方握了一下手,笑道:“让你久等了,艾米。” „Has not related, I was also just.” “没关系,我也是才刚刚到。” This woman some time ago, including indignant left Columbia Amy Pascal. 这个女人正是不久前,含愤离开哥伦比亚的艾米帕斯卡尔。 „Before my assistant, told you my meaning, Amy, do you think what kind of?” “我的助理之前已经将我的意思跟你说了吧,艾米,你觉得怎么样？” Amy Pascal asked: „Mr. Guo Sida, I thought that I definitely do not need to return to Columbia now again, although resigned, but I heard some news, Columbia must be sold to Sony. In this case, what I also go back to make, waits for several months later, was laid off again?” 艾米帕斯卡尔问道:“郭思达先生,我觉得,我现在完全没有必要再返回哥伦比亚了,虽然辞职了,但我还是听到了一些消息,哥伦比亚要被卖给索尼了。这种情况下,我还回去做什么,等待几个月后,再次被裁员吗？” „Naturally, Amy, you are not one will have the occupation Manager person of ability very much, even if Japanese has taken over control of Columbia, does not dare to make the high-level change that goes too far. I had understood you leave the Columbia process, if beforehand Blunt Cohen listened to your suggestions, will not have that makes Columbia lose tens of millions profits to betting the agreement. But, also will not have the Eric Williams revolutions to throw Fox.” “当然不会,艾米,你是一个很有才能的职业经理人,即使日本人接管了哥伦比亚,也不敢做出太过火的高层变动。我了解过你离开哥伦比亚的经过,如果之前布朗特科恩听取了你的意见,就不会有那份让哥伦比亚失去数千万利润的对赌协议。而之后,也不会有艾瑞克威廉姆斯转投福克斯。” Amy Pascal said: „Mr. Guo Sida, says these now already not any significance. I want to know that you make me return to the Columbia real cause.” 艾米帕斯卡尔道:“郭思达先生,现在说这些已经没有任何意义了。我更想知道,你让我回到哥伦比亚的真正原因。” Guo Sida looked at Amy one, said \; „Amy, you knew that Eric Williams is right?” 郭思达看了艾米一眼,道\;“艾米,你认识艾瑞克威廉姆斯对吧？” Really so! 果然如此！ Amy Pascal calmed down firmly the guess, nodded: „Yes, but has several reasons, perhaps Eric will again not remember me now.” 艾米帕斯卡尔确定了心中的猜测,点了点头:“是的,不过只有几面之缘,或许艾瑞克现在都不会再记得我了。” „, To be how possible, if not your help, how to have the «Home Alone» Box Office miracle?” “呵,怎么可能,如果不是你的帮助,怎么会有《小鬼当家》的票房奇迹？” Although Amy Pascal has not gained any benefit, even also therefore lost the work. But Guo Sida mentioned these, she was some self-satisfied. 虽然艾米帕斯卡尔没有从中得到任何利益,甚至还因此丢掉了工作。但郭思达提起这些,她还是有些许得意。 „Mr. Guo Sida, if you want to make me convince the Eric Williams revolutions to throw Columbia, this is unlikely, all people know that Eric has signed three pieces to make with Fox this year. When next year, Columbia already in the Sony hand.” “郭思达先生,如果你想让我说服艾瑞克威廉姆斯转投哥伦比亚,这不太可能,所有人都知道,艾瑞克今年已经与福克斯签署了三部片约。而等到明年,哥伦比亚已经在索尼手中了。” Guo Sida shakes the head saying: „Naturally is not, I also allow the person to understand that contract. Actually that contract is not too strict, because Fox wanted to obtain the «Home Alone» second part distribution rights, therefore during not forbids Eric Williams and Fox cooperates, again with other Film Studio cooperates. But after Sony opening negotiations, Columbia needs some advantage good news stimulation stock prices, for example... Movie that sells greatly.” 郭思达摇头道:“当然不是,我也让人了解过那份合约。其实那份合约并不是太严密,因为福克斯原本只是想要得到《小鬼当家》的第二部发行权,所以没有禁止艾瑞克威廉姆斯与福克斯合作期间,再与其他电影公司合作。而与索尼开启谈判之后,哥伦比亚需要一些利好消息刺激股价,比如…一部大卖的电影。” „But...” “可是…” „Relax, Amy, I know that your some worries, in order to smooth cooperates with Eric Williams, Board of Directors has removed the Blunt Cohen Columbia Chairman duty.” “放心吧,艾米,我知道你的一些顾虑,为了能够顺利与艾瑞克威廉姆斯合作,董事会已经解除布朗特科恩哥伦比亚总裁职务了。” Amy Pascal is astonished however said: „Really?” 艾米帕斯卡尔讶然道:“真的？” Guo Sida nodded: „Naturally, otherwise, with the Blunt Cohen personal connection, Board of Directors is not willing to wage a war, how long he cannot sit in that position in any case. You and Eric Williams contact, can disclose this matter that to demonstrate our sincerity.” 郭思达点了点头:“当然,不然的话,以布朗特科恩的人脉,董事会也不愿意大动干戈,反正他也在那个位置上坐不了多长时间。你与艾瑞克威廉姆斯接触的时候,可以将这件事透露出来,以显示我们的诚意。” Amy Pascal thinks of an issue: „I thought that the Eric Williams shoots movie speed is quick, but one year three should be the limit? Many words, how did the quality guarantee?” 艾米帕斯卡尔又想到一个问题:“我觉得,艾瑞克威廉姆斯拍摄电影速度很快,但一年三部应该已经算是极限了吧？再多的话,质量如何保证？” „We will place summer the files his new movie, by his present fame, so long as the movie is not too rotten, attains 100 million USD Box Office in the summer files is not the major problem. And...” Guo Sida has lowered the sound slightly: „I will give enough budget, to the Fox second part movie, we even can find the person to shoot for him, so long as he manufactured to give our movie with single-hearted devotion on the line.” “我们会将他的新电影放在暑期档,以他现在的名气,只要电影不是太烂,在暑期档拿到一亿美元票房不是大问题。而且…”郭思达稍微压低了声音:“我会给出足够的预算,给福克斯的第二部影片,我们甚至可以找人替他拍出来,他只要专心制作给我们的电影就行了。” Amy Pascal has hesitated slightly a while, nodded: „I will attempt with every effort.” 艾米帕斯卡尔稍稍迟疑了一会儿,还是点了点头:“我会尽力尝试一下。”
