开完香槟,派对正式开始。作为一个加上周边录像带等收入,可以为福克斯带来上亿美元利润的电影项目,即使福克斯现任总裁巴里迪勒也不得不亲自出席《风月》的庆功会。Moreoverbesides the 《Pretty Woman》dramatic teammembers, Foxalsoinviteddozenslarge and smallstarsto cometo support, the partyscenewas the star lightis radiant.

而且除了《风月》剧组成员外,福克斯还邀请了数十位大大小小的明星前来捧场,派对现场可谓是星光璀璨。不过毕竟现场有不少大人物在,上百人的宴会厅里秩序井然,嘉宾们三五成群地聚集在一起,谈论着自己的话题。„Eric, the matter of Super Bowlpreview, the announcementdepartmenttrulywastooconservative, Iguaranteedyourbelowmoviedistributedtime, Foxwill coordinate fullyyou.”
“艾瑞克,超级碗预告片的事情,宣发部门确实是太保守了,我保证你的下部电影发行的时候,福克斯会全力配合你。”

别下次啊,这次也可以计入宣发,给我报销了的。
The Ericunstated criticism, on the faceis having the smileat heart: „Mr. Diller, thismatterdo not raiseagain. The 1.5 millionUSDSuper Bowladvertising expenditureis a verybigdisbursement, Foxis truly more conservativeindisputable.”艾瑞克心里腹诽着,脸上却带着微笑:“迪勒先生,这件事就不要再提了。150万美元的超级碗广告费确实是一项很大的支出,福克斯保守一些也无可厚非。”Barry Dillerhehesmiles, reallyhas not raisedagain.巴里迪勒呵呵一笑,果然没有再提。Thisold fox!
这个老狐狸!
The topicwas shiftedto the Ericnextmovieatagain, after 《Pretty Woman》, although the Ericnextmoviehas not seenincluding the shadow, naturallywas decidedbyFoxin the summerfiles.
话题再次被转移到艾瑞克的下一部电影上,《风月》之后,艾瑞克的下一部电影虽然连影子都还没见,就理所当然地被福克斯定在了暑期档。
This year'ssummerfilesbigpartial cloudscollection, Warner«Batman», Paramount《Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade》, Columbia《Ghostbusters II》, theseare doomedare the Box Officewealthy and powerful families.
今年的暑期档可谓大片云集,华纳的《蝙蝠侠》,派拉蒙的《夺宝奇兵3》,哥伦比亚的《捉鬼敢死队2》,这些注定是票房大户。ButbecauseFoxtoo the attentionwill shiftto the development of TV Networkabovemuch, causingmovie, the movietotal of manufacturereleaseto have more than tenthis year, is situatedinsixDalifirst from the bottom.
而福克斯因为将太多注意力转移到电视网的发展上面,导致今年电影方面,制作发行的电影总数只有十多部,在六大里排行倒数第一。Fordoes not twist the aspectto set the baseinFilm Industry, Foxis doomed to fullysupport the Ericmovie, especially after 《Pretty Woman》attainsto be successfulgreatly.
为了不在电影业绩方面垫底,福克斯注定必须全力支持艾瑞克的电影,特别是《风月》大获成功之后。Butsummer the filesbigpieceengages in factional strife, wantsto obtainhighBox Officeis not the tooeasymatter. Ericis impossiblealready the «Home Alone»sequel that stokes upfameattainssummer the filesto fightwiththesebigpieces, ponderedlong time, had decided before , has had a thought.
而暑期档大片倾轧,想要获得高票房不是太容易的事情。艾瑞克不可能将已经打响名气的《小鬼当家》续集拿到暑期档跟这些大片争锋,思考了良久,才决定了之前产生过的一个念头。„Nextmoviehad the preliminaryplotprogram, Iplanto inviteTom HanksandTom Cruise. Thisis a matchplay of twoman.”
“下一部电影已经有了初步的剧情大纲,我打算邀请汤姆汉克斯和汤姆克鲁斯。这将是一部两个男人的对手戏。”
The Barry Dillereyenarrows the eyesslightly, if successful, onlydepends onTwo Tomsto add on the EricBox Officerallying point, thismovieBox Officeguarantees a minimumat leastin100 millionUSD. In additionthe end of the year«Home Alone2», oneyear of threesell the moviegreatly, achievement of Foxinmovieagainalsobeyond reproach, he can also feel relieved that developedTV Network.巴里迪勒眼睛微微眯起,如果成功的话,仅凭两个汤姆加上艾瑞克的票房号召力,这部电影票房保底至少在一亿美元。加上年底的《小鬼当家2》,一年有三部大卖电影,福克斯在电影方面的业绩就再也无可指责,他也可以放心地去发展电视网了。„Eric, ifmustinviteTwo Toms, the salaries of twopeoplewere no less than10 millionUSD? How many are yourestimated cost?”
“艾瑞克,如果要邀请两个汤姆的话,两个人的片酬就不少于1000万美元了吧?你的预算成本是多少?”Erichas thought: „Shouldnot surpass30 million, thisis a feature film, does not havewhatmagnificent scene, does not needanyspecial effect, totallydepends on the individualdisplay of twoactors, therefore the budget of 30 millionUSDwas very loose, greatlypossiblycannot all spendvery much.”艾瑞克想了一下:“应该不超过3000万,这是一部剧情片,没有什么大场面,也不需要任何特效,完全靠两位男主角的个人发挥,所以3000万美元的预算已经很宽松了,很大可能花不完。”„Heard that youjustdid spendmoneyto buyJobsthatwork room?”
“听说你刚刚花了一大笔钱买下了乔布斯的那个工作室?”AlthoughBarry Dillerissuesomedo not look for the boundary, Ericimmediatelyunderstood the meaning of Barry Diller. Foxwantsto butt in the movieinvestment.
虽然巴里迪勒的问题有些不找边际,艾瑞克还是立刻明白了巴里迪勒的意思。福克斯还是想在电影投资上插一脚。„Right, ImadePixarmanufacturefilm titleLOGOformyFilm Studiobefore, after having looked, is satisfied. Heard that Pixaris bogged down in difficulties to get rid, justI am interestedin the animated film, took advantage of opportunityto buy. However the cycle of animated filmis very long, the 3 Danimationis at the fumblestage, therefore the first partanimated filmdoes not know when mustbe ableto manufacture.”
“没错,我之前让皮克斯替我的电影公司制作了一个片头LOGO,看过之后非常满意。听说皮克斯陷入困境想要出手,刚好我又对动画电影很感兴趣,就顺势买下来了。不过动画电影的周期很长,3D动画又处在摸索阶段,所以第一部动画电影不知道要什么时候才能制作出来了。”Ericdisregardson the Barry Dillerface the lighthelplessness, in any case, youbeat around the bush, Ialsoplayed the driftingtoyou.艾瑞克无视巴里迪勒脸上淡淡的无奈,反正,你拐弯抹角,我也给你玩漂移。Listens to the presentsmallfoxto talk nonsenseone, Barry Dillerhasto bring to light the topic: „Eric, Imeant, ifunder you filmmakingfund shortage, Foxcanbe responsible forsomeinvestments, this can also reduce the risk. Moreoveryoucould rest assured that Foxnot the investment fund and announcementcostlinks the shareagreement that wesignedbeforemaintainsinvariable.”
听着眼前的小狐狸胡扯一通,巴里迪勒只好将话题挑明:“艾瑞克,我是说,如果你下部电影制作资金紧张的话,福克斯可以负责部分投资,这样也可以降低风险。而且你放心,福克斯不会将投资资金与宣发成本联系在一起,我们之前签署的分成协议保持不变。”Barry Diller the matterto put it bluntly, Eric not gooddirectto reject, naturallyhewill not surrender something submissivelythisownbenefit. The matter that Barry Dillercanthink, Eric can also certainlywantto obtain, ifinvitedTwo Tomsto be successful, onlydepended on the Box Officerallying points of threepeople, the moviewas impossibleto be defeated.巴里迪勒将事情说白了,艾瑞克也不好直接拒绝,当然他也不会将本属于自己的利益拱手让人。巴里迪勒能够想到的事情,艾瑞克当然也能想得到,如果邀请两个汤姆成功的话,仅凭三个人的票房号召力,电影都不可能失败。FinallyEric can only be perfunctory saying: „Does not have the issue, Mr. Diller, ifneeds the foreign investment, Foxdefinitelyis my firstchoice.”
最后艾瑞克只能敷衍道:“没问题,迪勒先生,如果需要外部投资的话,福克斯肯定是我的第一选择。”Barry Dilleralsosawbeing perfunctory of Eric, understands that Foxwantsinto the capital the possibilityalmostto bezero. Buthewill not adoptanyduskto incurlikeformerColumbia, both sidesnow are also at the honeymoons of cooperation, althoughaccording to the beforehandhierarchical layering of protocol, Ericgainsare more than Fox, butFoxalsomakes the huge profit that otherenoughpeopleadmired.巴里迪勒也看出了艾瑞克的敷衍,明白福克斯想要入资的可能性几乎为零。但他也不会像之前哥伦比亚那样采取什么昏招,双方现在还处在合作的蜜月期,虽然按照之前的协议分层,艾瑞克赚的比福克斯多一点,但福克斯也从中攫取了足够其他人艳羡的巨额利润。Alsotalked about other topics, twotalented peopleseparatetreat with courtesyotherpeoplerespectively. Barry Dillerjustgot out of the way, Ericfeelsmanyvisioninstantaneouscentralizedononeself.
又聊了一些其他话题,两个人才分开各自应酬其他人。巴里迪勒刚刚走开,艾瑞克就感觉好多道目光瞬间集中在自己身上。Good, the misses, surrender, whosetodayfirstsays something to smooth things over, the lower partmoviegivesyou a role. In the Ericmindemits the thought that somewhatdeliberately creates trouble, the feeling of simultaneouslyenjoyingthistypefocus attention on. In the final analysisheis a worldling, if no a vanity, but alsosuchtosses aboutto do.
好吧,姑娘们,投怀送抱吧,谁今天第一个过来搭讪,下部电影给你们个角色。艾瑞克脑海中冒出一个有些胡闹的念头,同时非常享受这种被人瞩目的感觉。说到底他还是一个俗人,要是没点虚荣心,还这么折腾干什么。Quickhewelcomedfirstsaying something to smooth things over.
很快他就迎来了第一个搭讪者。Bald, heighteightchi (0.33 m), robust, howon the facebringsto seedreadfulsmiling, whatmostlyingtroughis... Heis a male.
光头,身长八尺,虎背熊腰,脸上带着怎么看都猥琐的笑,最卧槽的是…丫是个男的。„Eric, youcame backfinally, Iwantto know how youactuallythink, Julia'sthesepiece, Ithoughtseveralgood, was actually givento overrulebyyou?”
“艾瑞克,你终于回来了,我想知道你到底是怎么想的,茱莉亚的那些片约里,我觉得好几个都不错,却都被你给否决了?”Decidesto indulgeonewith great difficultytime, Ericwas drawnreluctantlybyKapoorone side.
好不容易决定放纵一次啊,艾瑞克无奈地被卡普尔拉到一旁。„Kapoor, don't youhaveonetypebypersonmisconceptionin deep sorrow?”
“卡普尔,你就没有一种被人万箭穿心的错觉?”„Un?”
“嗯?”„Do youhave a looktowardall around?”
“你往四周看看?”
The Kapoordoubtshave sweptone, discovered that surroundingseveralare not good atconcealing the mood the beautiful girlvisionto stare athimbad.卡普尔疑惑地扫了一眼,发现周围几个不太善于掩饰情绪的漂亮女孩目光不善地盯着他。AlthoughKapooris a workaholic, butworldly wisdom is skilled, otherwisecould not makemanagerthisoccupation, shrugged: „Sorry, Eric, delayedyouto hunt for|is colorful. Butthismatteryoudo not explainwithme, Iam not steadfast.”卡普尔虽然是工作狂,但人情世故还是很精通的,不然也做不了经纪人这份职业,耸了耸肩:“抱歉,艾瑞克,耽误你猎丨艳了。可这件事你不跟我说明白,我就不踏实。”Ericalsovery muchwantsto explainwithhim, previous lifeJuliacompares the successfulmovie, majority is the lovecomedies, justhad shot《Pretty Woman》, in a short timemakesthis type ofmovienot to be definitely inappropriateagain, thereforecannottaketemporarilylater generationthesemovies. Hethought that mostsuitsJulia'sisthatmakesJuliaobtain the Golden Globe Awardnomination《Steel Magnolias》, thatis a Box Officereputationdouble harvestmovie.艾瑞克也很想跟他说明白,前世茱莉亚比较成功的电影,大部分都是爱情喜剧,刚刚拍了《风月》,短时间内再拍这种类型的电影肯定不合适,因此暂时不能将后世那些电影拿出来。他觉得最适合茱莉亚的是那部让茱莉亚获得金球奖提名的《钢木兰》,那是一部票房口碑双丰收的电影。What a pitybeforehandinquires, SamsungFilm Industryhas not launchedthisprojectnow, eitherdid not haveby the butterfly effectfan, eitherhas not startedto prepare for showing.
可惜之前查询了一下,三星影业现在并没有启动这个项目,要么是被蝴蝶效应扇没了,要么就是还没有开始筹拍。Heis impossibleto writeonce morescript. The beforehandthreemovies, hewas100%had determinedoriginalscripthas not appearednow, orappearedhave also been little significancein the situationwithhismovie, satisfiedlybroughtto use. Nowthismovieheis unwarrantable.
他也不可能再次将剧本写出来。之前的三部电影,他都是100确定了原剧本现在还没有出现,或者出现了也跟他的电影没多大关系的情况下,才心安理得地拿来用的。现在这部电影他却不能保证。„Kapoor, waitsagain for severaldays, Iplanned that Writers Guild of Americahas a look athasanythingto registergoodscript, selectsonetoJulia.”
“卡普尔,再等几天,我打算去编剧工会看看有没有什么注册过的好剧本,给茱莉亚挑一个。”
The Kapoorcorners of the mouthhave pulled outpulling out: „Eric, youknow that Writers Guild of Americahasmanyregistrationscript, tens of thousands of! Ifelt that probablywas sayingImustgo toSan Franciscoto washseveraltonsgold, thatmatterpossibility?”卡普尔嘴角抽了抽:“艾瑞克,你知道编剧工会有多少注册剧本吗,成千上万啊!我感觉好像在说我要去旧金山淘几吨黄金,那种事情可能吗?”Knows where the goldis burying, washedto be certainly easy. Ericwantsto look up《Steel Magnolias》screenwriterto have the scriptregistration.
知道金子在哪里埋着,淘起来当然容易了。艾瑞克只是想去查一下《钢木兰》的编剧有没有将剧本注册而已。„Believesme, Kapoor, patient, Imeet your answerquickly.”
“相信我,卡普尔,耐心一点,我很快会你一个答复的。”Ericalso decided that ifcould not find《Steel Magnolias》, thatfrom the memoryinBox Officequitehigh the movieselectsonetoJulia, in any caseby the Juliapresentfame, so long as the imageis appropriate, the Juliaindividualalsohas the intention of participating performance, not having the dramatic teamto rejecther, believe manyProduction Studio, even ifwill enhance the budgetalsoto refuse to balkfor this reason.艾瑞克也打定了主意,如果找不到《钢木兰》的话,那就从记忆里票房比较高的电影里给茱莉亚挑一个,反正以茱莉亚现在的名气,只要形象合适,茱莉亚个人又有参演的意向,没有剧组会拒绝她,相信很多制作公司哪怕为此提高预算也在所不惜。
