Therefore, helping me favor Metro Goldwyn Mayer, how do not manage others to think, always do not make me decide. If who dares to have any thoughts, you like former such, carried the jar to knock his head.” “其实啊,人这一辈子,想要找到一个可以毫无保留托付一切的人可是很难的,大部分人一辈子都不可能遇上。”艾瑞克认真地说着,凑过来在丫头小嘴上啄了下,道:“我比较幸运,恰好遇到了一个。所以,帮我看好米高梅,不要管别人怎么想,也不要总是让我来决定。如果谁敢动什么心思,你就像以前那样,拎起瓶子敲他脑袋。” „Oh,” girl nods, light snort|hum several, the body seemed to be softer, completely has pasted on Eric, the small hand does not stroke gently law-abidingly in Eric, said in a soft voice: „Eric, I suddenly want to do in the car(riage).” “嗯嗯,”丫头点着头,轻哼了几声,身子似乎更软了一些,完全贴在艾瑞克身上,小手也不安分地在艾瑞克摩挲起来,轻声道:“艾瑞克,我突然想在车里做了呢。” „Volume,” Eric holds in the arms the small waist that girl pastes, felt that the looks like is hugging a suddenly cat with emotions, said: „This, we were discussing the proper business probably. Moreover, I very like this car(riage), do not smear. You know that my recent cleanliness was probably getting more and more serious.” “额,”艾瑞克搂住丫头贴过来的小腰,感觉像抱着一只突然动情的小猫,道:“这个,我们好像在谈正事啊。而且,我还是挺喜欢这辆车的,别弄脏了。你知道,我最近的洁癖好像越来越严重了。” The girls giggle smile, actually pays no attention, puts out a hand to pull the Eric shirt, but also told that the twin the vehicle opens to nearby 405 high-speed. 丫头咯咯笑着,却是不理,伸手过来扯艾瑞克的衬衫,还吩咐双胞胎将车子开向附近的405高速。 ...... …… Century city, aa Headquarters. 世纪城,aa总部。 Richard Lovette had been waiting for anxiously Pierre news of Truk, this also possibly urges Eric to change the mind the last chance. 理查德・洛维特一直在焦急的等待着皮埃尔・特鲁克的消息,这也是可能促使艾瑞克改变主意的最后机会。 Except for star brokerage operation, in initially Michael under the development of Ovitz, since the 80's, aa started to be responsible for the advertisement business of many family/home big enterprise, was similar to the film and television pack contract, these advertisement projects provided to seek for the spokesman, relation advertisement company, manufacture advertisement and other start-to-finish services for the product of enterprise on the whole. 除了明星经纪业务,在当初迈克尔・奥维茨的拓展下,从八十年代开始,aa就开始负责很多家大企业的广告事务,与影视打包合约类似,这些广告项目大体上就是为企业的产品提供寻找代言人、联系广告公司、制作广告等一条龙服务。 Pierre Havas Group that Truk governs, exactly is one of the global maximum advertisement media companies. Richard Lovette blocks Pierre at the Los Angeles international airport Truk, had promised a cooperation, hopes that Pierre Truk helps to lobby the Metro Goldwyn Mayer change decision, Pierre the Truk book to prevent Metro Goldwyn Mayer replaces Bruce to come, has not thought that also has this unexpected benefit, both sides naturally fit in easily. 皮埃尔・特鲁克掌管的哈瓦斯集团,恰好就是全球最大的广告传媒公司之一。理查德・洛维特在洛杉矶国际机场拦下皮埃尔・特鲁克,许诺了一番合作,希望皮埃尔・特鲁克帮忙游说米高梅改变决定,皮埃尔・特鲁克本就是为了阻止米高梅撤换布鲁斯南而来,没想到还有这种意外收获,双方自然一拍即合。 Also could not bear look at the watch, immediately is eight o'clock. 又忍不住看了看手表,马上就已经是八点钟。 Richard Lovette was considering called to inquire on own initiative, the cell phone ring tone has made a sound finally. 理查德・洛维特正考虑着是不是主动打电话过去询问一下,手机铃声终于响了起来。 Has met without hesitation, Richard Lovette hears the sound of clear opposite party, has not taken advantage of opportunity to exchange greetings unusually several, directly soars the subject saying: „Pierre, finally how?” 毫不犹豫地接了起来,理查德・洛维特听清楚对方的声音,少有地没有顺势寒暄几句,直奔主题道:“皮埃尔,结果怎么样了？” „......” “……” Is enduring patiently forcefully and other opposite party said that last hopes to be disillusioned, Richard Lovette subconsciousness makes to lose the modeling of anti-tank grenade, does not have in that only brand- the new cell phone the hand to throw finally again. Takes back the arm slowly, Richard Lovette covers that cell phone in the palm, holds their palms together, stands behind the desk makes the posture that vertical has achieved Buddhahood, how calculates rapidly should then with Pierce Brosnan. 强行忍耐着的等对方说完,最后一丝希望破灭,理查德・洛维特下意识又做出丢手雷的造型,却终是没有再将手中那只全新的手机丢出去。缓缓收回手臂,理查德・洛维特将那只手机捂在掌心,双手合十,站在办公桌后面做了个立地成佛的姿势,迅速盘算着接下来该怎么与皮尔斯・布鲁斯南。 The office gate was knocked two, David O'Connor pushes the door to come, sees Richard Lovette's posture, has gawked, said: „Richard, could not block probably, Pierre said that if did not have the news, he plans to go back today first. You how?” 办公室门被敲了两下,大卫・奥康纳推门进来,看到理查德・洛维特的姿势,愣了下,说道:“理查,大概是拦不住了,皮尔说如果还没有消息,他今天打算先回去。你这边怎么样了？” Richard Lovette exhales the one breath slowly, shook the head, said: „Under I can discuss with Pierre personally.” 理查德・洛维特缓缓呼出一口气,摇了摇头,道:“等下我会和皮尔亲自谈。” David O'Connor understood immediately the result of matter, has not said anything again, nods, has drawn back. 大卫・奥康纳立刻明白了事情的结果,没再说什么,点点头,退了出去。 Has consumed for day in aa Headquarters, looked at the dim light of night of out of the window, Pierce Brosnan increasingly had been realizing anything, waited for David O'Connor left, he looked that to defended in own public relations Manager Sarah throughout Lyndall, asked: „Sarah, should I give Pascal or Williams personally telephone?” 在aa总部耗了一天,望着窗外的夜色,皮尔斯・布鲁斯南心里逐渐意识到了一些什么,等大卫・奥康纳离开,他看向始终守在自己身边的公关经理莎拉・林德尔特,问道:“莎拉,我是不是应该亲自给帕斯卡尔或者威廉姆斯打个电话？” Sarah Lyndall moral nature had to pity looked at eye this throughout by the customer of being kept in the dark. 莎拉・林德尔特心底带着些怜悯地看了眼自己这位始终被蒙在鼓里的客户。 If must make this phone call, this morning is the best opportunity. Now, Richard Lovette affirmed that has arranged all, even if makes the phone call, no helps. 如果真要打这个电话,今天上午才是最佳时机。现在,理查德・洛维特肯定已经安排好了一切,就算将电话打出去,也于事无补。 Although defends side Bruce, but she today is actually maintaining to the relation of outside, from the present situation, matter likely imagination is more awful, perhaps, oneself also similarly must lose this customer. Is good because, David O'Connor had promised that gives her to introduce four with the Bruce same customer, even if lost Bruce, does not calculate was a pity that has that excerpt, David O'Connor does not dare to renege on a promise absolutely. 虽然守在布鲁斯南身边,但她今天其实一直都保持着对外界的联系,从现在的情况来看,事情很可能比想象中的还要糟糕,或许,自己也同样要丢掉这个客户了吧。好在,大卫・奥康纳已经许诺给她介绍四个与布鲁斯南咖位相同的客户,即使失去了布鲁斯南,也不算太可惜,有那段录音在,大卫・奥康纳也绝对不敢反悔。 Just wants to comfort Bruce several at will, the office door was shoved open, Richard Lovette walked, the complexion is dignified, pats Bruce shoulder that the racket has stood up to make him sit down, oneself also pulled a chair to sit facing each other with him, said: „Pierre, I performed the maximum effort, Metro Goldwyn Mayer complied to sign with you again.” 正想随意安慰布鲁斯南几句,办公室房门被推开,理查德・洛维特走了进来,脸色凝重,拍了拍站起身的布鲁斯南肩膀让他坐下,自己也拉了张椅子与他相对而坐,道:“皮尔,我尽了自己最大的努力,米高梅已经答应重新和你签约。” Bruce did not have happily, responds with enough time that Richard what Lovette said is signs, but did not negotiate: „Richard, was your meaning, is yesterday's condition?” 布鲁斯南还没来得及高兴,就反应过来,理查德・洛维特说的是重新签约,而不是重新谈判:“理查,你的意思是,还是昨天的条件？” Although said that but Bruce actually suddenly discovered that until now, he does not know what salary condition as before yesterday Eric had pledged to him. Yesterday Zerk Kozmann had not told him the details, this morning, knew one suddenly by 007 dramatic team dismissals, he rushed to the first response of aa Headquarters to fight with the fists on Zerk Kozmann's face, they naturally will not have anything to exchange. Although he had looked in the Yahoo main page the announcement of Metro Goldwyn Mayer issue, but this announcement will definitely not involve tall Mei and his detailed salary provision, but disclosed one generally ‚over a hundred million USD pack contracts’ concept. 虽然这么说,但布鲁斯南却突然发现,到现在为止,他依旧不知道昨天艾瑞克到底给他开出了什么样的片酬条件。昨天瑞克・科兹曼就没有告诉他详情,今天上午,得知自己突然被007剧组开除,他冲到aa总部的第一反应就是一拳打在瑞克・科兹曼的脸上,两人自然也不会有什么交流。虽然他已经看过雅虎主页上米高梅发布的公告,但这种公告肯定不会涉及高梅与他的详细片酬条款,只是透露了一个笼统的‘上亿美元打包合约’概念。 Richard Lovette shook the head, said: „No, Pierre, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer present condition is, two 007 main stories, each 20 million USD, two agent movie universe overlapping collections, each 10 million USD, four pack contracts, altogether are 60 million USD.” 理查德・洛维特摇了摇头,道:“不,皮尔,米高梅现在的条件是,两部007正传,每部2000万美元,两部特工电影宇宙交叉集,每部1000万美元,四部打包合约,一共是6000万美元。” Bruce listens, the complexion is somewhat cloudy clearly uncertain, few days ago, Zerk Kozmann gave back to him to analyze, by the «Casino Royale» present Box Office tendency, he at least can attain each 40 million USD salary in the sequel. Now, four pieces make 60 million USD, on average 15 million, initially anticipated half. 布鲁斯南听完,脸色有些阴晴不定,前些日子,瑞克・科兹曼还给他分析,以《皇家赌场》现在的票房势头,他至少能够在续集中拿到每部4000万美元的片酬。现在,四部片约6000万美元,平均才1500万,还不到当初预期的一半。 In the imagination should the value 100 million 60 million USD contract turn into present 60 million, Bruce has imputed to Zerk Kozmann as well as aa all these naturally. He also realized that he definitely also completely lost any leeway of bargaining. 想象中应该价值1亿6000万美元的合约变成了现在的6000万,布鲁斯南自然而然地将这一切归罪到瑞克・科兹曼以及aa身上。他同时意识到,自己肯定也已经完全失去了任何讨价还价的余地。 Constrains the anger that the moral nature is welling up once more, Bruce bears the last temper to ask: „Yahoo announced that did not say 100 million USD, why few these many?” 压抑着心底再次涌出来的怒意,布鲁斯南耐着最后一丝性子问道:“雅虎公告上不是说一亿美元吗,为什么少这么多？” Richard Lovette shakes the head, explained patiently: „Did not have no 100 million USD contract, Metro Goldwyn Mayer to exaggerate, the condition that yesterday Williams gave was four 70 million USD, a similar share plan, you know that Williams was an obstinate bastard, we have rejected his one time, now wants to sign, he will definitely pull down your salary. Therefore, was divided into the plan to cancel, he only......” 理查德・洛维特摇头,耐心地解释道:“本来就没有什么一亿美元的合约,米高梅夸大其词而已,昨天威廉姆斯给出的条件是四部7000万美元,还有一个类似的分成方案,你知道的,威廉姆斯就是一个刚愎自用的混蛋,我们拒绝了他一次,现在想要重新签约,他肯定会压低你的片酬。所以,分成方案取消了,他只……” „No, is not right,” has not waited for Richard Lovette said that Bruce again could not bear, rubs to stand, was pointing at Richard Lovette said: „It is not ‚we’, is ‚you’, is your bastards, made a decision without authorization to reject the Metro Goldwyn Mayer contract, makes to present this situation, was you, was your bastards has screwed up all.” “不,不对,”没等理查德・洛维特说完,布鲁斯南就再也忍不住,蹭地站了起来,指着理查德・洛维特道:“不是‘我们’,是‘你们’,是你们这些混蛋,擅作主张拒绝了米高梅的合约,才闹到现在这种地步,是你们,都是你们这些混蛋搞砸了一切。” Richard Lovette sets out along with Bruce South station, an appearance of good nature, said as before: „Pierre, you are calmer.” 理查德・洛维特随着布鲁斯南站起身,依旧一副好脾气的模样,道:“皮尔,你冷静一些。” „Calm? Why is my his mother calm?” Bruce is staring Richard Lovette, enhanced the sound once again, simultaneously worked on behind chair to make an effort toward not far away window to pound, the hard armored glass has not disrupted, on the window some ornaments actually together fell along with the chair, send out the Pā Pā chaotic sound: „This is your mistakes, you must to me a confession, otherwise, I hold the media to come up the matter that your bastards handle completely.” “冷静？我他妈为什么还要冷静？”布鲁斯南瞪着理查德・洛维特,又一次提高了声音,同时抓起身后的椅子用力朝不远处的窗户砸了过去,坚硬的钢化玻璃没有碎裂,窗台上一些摆设却随着椅子一起落下,发出噼噼啪啪的乱响:“这都是你们的错,你们必须给我一个交代,不然的话,我会把你们这些混蛋做的事情全部都捅到媒体上去。” Although Bruce appeared to explode the sign, Richard Lovette as far as possible does not tear to pieces the facial skin with him , to continue to comfort saying: „Pierre, like this, I do not acknowledge that some of our matters have not possibly completed, but, you no help like this, you know that Metro Goldwyn Mayer has only given us evening's time, if you will reject this contract tomorrow morning as before, means that you will lose this role thoroughly. You think that 60 million USD, how many Hollywood can gain to the 60 million USD star for a lifetime some?” 虽然布鲁斯南已经出现爆走迹象,理查德・洛维特还是尽可能地不与他撕破脸皮,继续安抚道:“皮尔,不要这样,我承认,我们可能有些事情没有做好,但是,你这样于事无补,你知道吗,米高梅只给了我们一晚上的时间,如果你明天早上依旧拒绝这份合约,也就意味着你会彻底失去这个角色。你想想,6000万美元,好莱坞一辈子能赚到6000万美元的明星又有多少？” „100 million, this sum of money at least should be 100 million, you actually did to lose 40 million to me.” “一亿,这笔钱本来至少应该是一亿的,你们却给我搞丢了4000万。” „Never has 100 million, 70 million. Williams several years ago claimed that must suppress the Hollywood Star salary, he such does now. I have almost used aa all personal connections today, makes him give up replacing your decision, but has been short of 10 million USD.” “从来没有一亿,7000万。威廉姆斯几年前就声称要压制好莱坞明星片酬,他现在就是这么做的。我今天几乎动用了aa所有人脉,才让他放弃撤换你的决定,只是少了1000万美元而已。” „In any event, I do not countersign such contract . Moreover, I will announce tomorrow the matter that aa will handle that you will wait to bring ruin and shame upon oneself.” “无论如何,我是不会签这样的合约的,而且,我明天就会将aa做的事情公布出来,你们就等着身败名裂吧。” The referred to eyebrow stared to scold one, Richard Lovette has also had some spunks, said loudly: „Reality, Pierre, if gave up Bond, you think that also some people are willing to spend 20 million USD to invite you, no, is absolutely impossible. Your image had been finalized, the audience is very difficult in accepting you in 007 beside roles. Also, you know that «The Lion King 2», that animated film had the «Finding Nemo» same global 1 billion USD Box Office potential, because joint forcing out of Firefly and Fox, its Box Office has «Finding Nemo» 50% many. Therefore, what is more serious, cares about the Firefly pressure, majority of Film Studio again rashly will not even invite your participating performance movie, you were equal to being finished at the Hollywood enterprise.” 被指眉瞪眼地骂了一通,理查德・洛维特也生出了一些怒意,大声道:“现实一点吧,皮尔,如果放弃了邦德,你以为还会有人肯花2000万美元请你吧,不,绝对不可能。你形象本来就已经被定型了,观众很难在接受你在007之外的角色。还有,你知道《狮子王2》吧,那部动画电影本来拥有《海底总动员》一样全球10亿美元的票房潜力,但因为萤火虫和福克斯的联合封杀,它的票房只有《海底总动员》一半多点。所以,更严重的是,顾及到萤火虫的压力,大部分电影公司甚至都不会再冒然邀请你参演电影,你在好莱坞的事业就等于完蛋了。” „I must end, I will also tow aa one, I must sue you.” “就算我要完了,我也会把aa一起拖下去,我还要起诉你们。” „Ha, sues us? You know that what now outside on newspaper is? ‚Pierce Brosnan to recall 007 contracts, claimed knows nothing intentionally to the Metro Goldwyn Mayer salary condition’. Everybody present thinks that you pretend to be kept in the dark intentionally, if you sue again, will only be regarded a breathless joke.” “哈,起诉我们？你知道现在外面报纸上都是什么吗？‘皮尔斯・布鲁斯南为了挽回007合约,故意声称对米高梅片酬条件毫不知情’。大家现在都以为你是故意装作被蒙在鼓里的,如果你再起诉,只会被人当成一个气急败坏的笑话。” Bruce, suddenly has gone forward to hold Richard Lovette's collar, fiercely the opposite party according to arriving on wall: „You do is right, is this definitely you do?” 布鲁斯南顿了下,突然上前一把抓住理查德・洛维特的衣领,猛地将对方按到墙上:“你做的对不对,这肯定是你做的？” „Lets loose, your this lunatic.” Richard although Lovette was pressed on the wall, appearance, loudly brandishes the arm to exclaim as before a righteously: „I to help you recalls contract, this almost must kneel down to the Los Angeles 10 million people all day completely, you thought that I have the time to handle these bored matters, this is only Metro Goldwyn Mayer is demonstrating to you.” “放开,你这个疯子。”理查德・洛维特虽然被摁在墙上,依旧一副理直气壮地模样,挥舞着手臂大吼道:“我为了帮你挽回合约,这一整天差点要给洛杉矶10000000人全部都跪下了,你觉得我有时间去做这些无聊的事情吗,这只是米高梅在向你示威而已。” Richard in the expression that Lovette shouts oneself hoarse also had the grievance that was hard to conceal, Bruce to stare at the opposite party to look for several seconds, the fist that originally held up has put gradually, was not willingly like this lets loose the opposite party, they have refused to budge the moment, has hidden in nearby Sarah carefully Lyndall probed to propose: „Richard, is inferior to this, Metro Goldwyn Mayer only has not pulled down the 10 million USD salary, perhaps, aa can give up in this contract on own initiative 10% pulling out becomes, makes up for Pierre's loss.” 理查德・洛维特声嘶力竭的表情中还带着难以掩饰的委屈,布鲁斯南盯着对方看了几秒,本来已经举起的拳头逐渐放了下来,却不甘心就这样放开对方,两人僵持了片刻,一直小心地躲在旁边的莎拉・林德尔特试探着提议道:“理查,不如这样,米高梅不是只压低了1000万美元片酬吗,或许,aa可以主动放弃这份合约中10%的抽成,算是弥补皮尔的损失。” Richard that collar still tight seized Lovette tried hard to puff, sweeps Bruce, in the eye as if was also bringing thickly was not willingly, crossed some little time, said: „Good, I agreed.” 衣领依然被紧紧揪住的理查德・洛维特努力喘着粗气,扫了眼布鲁斯南,眼中似乎还带着浓浓的不甘心,过了好一会儿,才道:“好吧,我同意。” Bruce sees Richard Lovette opens the mouth, finally loosens his collar, coldly that but the pent-up anger has not disappeared said: „You should not take the one cent, Sarah, we walk first.” 布鲁斯南见理查德・洛维特开口,终于松开他的衣领,不过还是余怒未消的冷冷道:“你们本来就不该拿一分钱,莎拉,我们先走吧。” Throws down these words, south Bruce does not return leaves the office. Sarah Lyndall happily toward Richard Lovette raised up a hand to direct wielding, then followed quickly. 丢下这句话,布鲁斯南头也不回地离开办公室。莎拉・林德尔特得意地朝理查德・洛维特竖起一根手指挥了挥,然后快步跟了出去。 „Inexpensive. People.” “贱.人。” Is looking at Sarah form that Lyndall leaves, Richard Lovette scolded the sentence maliciously, the body following the wall slide base to the floor on, tears the neckband, entrains to throw that crooked tie in side, relaxed with a sense of relief. 望着莎拉・林德尔特离开的身影,理查德・洛维特狠狠地骂了句,身体顺着墙壁滑坐到地板上,扯开领口,将那条歪歪斜斜的领带拽下来丢在旁边,如释重负地松了口气。 After the moment, David O'Connor walked, looks to sit in lower part of wall Richard Lovette, walks to squat down before him, pulls out the cigarette case in pocket to extract one to hand over, puts out the cigarette lighter to help him select on, this asked: „Handled?” 片刻后,大卫・奥康纳走了进来,看着坐在墙根的理查德・洛维特,走过来在他面前蹲下,掏出口袋里的烟盒抽出一根递过来,又拿出打火机帮他点上,这才问道:“搞定了？” Richard Lovette one breath takes away the less than half cigarette, nods, sweeps near eye piece place in confusion, suddenly in a low voice cursed one: „deserves death Hollywood.”( To be continued.) 理查德・洛维特一口气抽掉小半支香烟,点点头,扫了眼窗边的一地狼藉,突然低声咒骂了一句:“该死的好莱坞。”(未完待续。)
