#92: Butchers fat sheep anything most had the love
Listens toAmy Pascalto rephrase in own words that Coca ColaCEOGuo Sida'scondition, Eric not excitedisimpossible, heeven thought that whatbig holeinthishasto wait for itself, otherwise may presentthisspaceto fall the meat pie the good deed?
听完艾米帕斯卡尔转述可口可乐CEO郭思达的条件,艾瑞克不心动是不可能的,他甚至觉得,这里面是不是有什么大坑等着自己,不然怎么可能会出现这种天上掉馅饼的好事呢?Providesenoughbudget funds, does not meddle the manufacture of moviecompletely, evencanprovide the teamto help itselfproduceanothermovieto deal with the Foxcontract, moreover, he can still attainnativepercent30, overseas10%Box Officeis divided.
提供足够的预算资金,完全不插手电影的制作,甚至可以提供团队帮自己制作另外一部电影应付福克斯的合约,而且之后,他依然能够拿到本土百分之三十,海外10的票房分成。Thiscondition is a little simply crazed, Spielbergis impossibleto attain such excellenttreatment.
这种条件简直有点丧心病狂嘛,斯皮尔伯格都不可能拿到这么优厚的待遇。„Amy, Columbiapledgesthisconditionto makemehave a notthird dimension. Youknowthatprevioustimemycooperationwith the Columbia is not too happy, thereforeIam very difficultto believe that thesewill haveanything... Trick?”
“艾米,哥伦比亚开出这种条件让我有一种不真实感。你知道,上次我跟哥伦比亚的合作并不算太愉快,因此我很难相信这其中是不是会存在什么…猫腻儿?”Amysternsay|way: „Eric, believesme, tofacilitatethiscooperation, preventingsomepeopleto obstruct, Board of Directorshas removed the duty of originalChairmanMr. Blunt Cohenspecially. Thisexpressed the Columbiasinceritysufficiently.”艾米正色道:“艾瑞克,相信我,为了促成这次合作,防止有人从中阻挠,董事会特意解除了原总裁布朗特科恩先生的职务。这足以表达哥伦比亚的诚意。”Ericshakes the headas before, Blunt Cohengets the hell outto leave, althoughmakeshimveryhappy, butactuallyandbeing insufficientmakeshimbelieve that Columbiaisbecause oneselfsuchdoes: „Ineedonetruely, canconvincemyreason?”艾瑞克依旧摇头,布朗特科恩滚蛋走人虽然让他很高兴,但却并不足以让他相信哥伦比亚是因为自己才这么做的:“我需要一个真正的,能够说服我的原因?”Amyhas hesitated, explainedin detail: „BecauseColumbiais conducting the acquisition negotiationwithJapanSony, needs the salemovieexcitingstock price, butyouareat presentsafestthat. Threemovies that youparticipate inhave made the astonishingBox Officeprogress, under the continualaccumulation of thisBox Officerallying point, the audiencehas formedcertainviewshadeinertia, yournextmovieopens, manypeoplemeetroutineto favorentering the movie theaterlook. So long asyourfollowingmoviemaintains the beforehandstandard, the non-swordwalks the slant, attainsbrokenhundred millionBox Officeonce moreis the matter in reason.”艾米沉吟了下,详细地解释道:“因为哥伦比亚正在跟日本索尼进行收购谈判,需要热卖电影刺激股价,而你是目前最稳妥的那一个。你参与的三部电影都取得了惊人的票房成绩,在这种票房号召力的连续积累下,观众已经形成了一定的观影惯性,你下一部电影上映的时候,很多人会习惯性倾向于走进电影院看一看。只要你接下来的电影保持之前的水准,不剑走偏锋,再次拿到破亿票房是情理之中的事情。”Saw that Ericrevealsexpression that understands clearlygradually, Amythensaid: „Therefore, do not think that Columbiawill do the business that loses money, thisis a win-wincooperation. Eric, the «Home Alone»beforehandsale, pushed up14USDtop digitsfrom12USD the Columbiastock price. The market valuerushes to25from2.2 billionUSD. 600 millionUSD.”
看到艾瑞克渐渐露出了然的神情,艾米接着说道:“所以,不要以为哥伦比亚会做亏本的生意,这是一次双赢的合作。艾瑞克,《小鬼当家》之前的热卖,将哥伦比亚的股价从12美元推上了14美元的高位。市值从22亿美元冲到25.6亿美元。”Ericconsider as finished, in other words, because of the beforehand«Home Alone»advantage, the Columbiamarket valueincreased360 million.艾瑞克算了一下,也就是说,因为之前《小鬼当家》的利好,哥伦比亚市值增加了3.6亿。Normally, althoughthisgrowthfills people with enthusiasm, butshareholdersnotbecause the stock pricewill increasetwoUSDwantonlyto dump the stock, whatafter alltheywill settle onwill be the long-termbenefit, the mainincomewill beevery yearprofitdraws bonus. Meanwhile, oncecomes across the movieto investfailure, the stock priceonce morewill also drop.
正常情况下,这种增长虽然振奋人心,但股东们也不会因为股票价格增加了两美元就大肆抛售股票,毕竟他们看中的是长远的利益,主要收益是每年的利润分红。同时,一旦遇到电影投资失败,股价也会再次回落。ButafterSonydecidesto purchaseColumbia, the situationis different, each point of growth of stock pricecantransformas the realitybill. The Columbiashareholderswill not calculateanynet assetswithJapanese, words that wantsto buy, the stock priceismany, musttakemanyas the standard, but must have the premium of certain proportion.
但在索尼决定收购哥伦比亚之后,情况就不一样了,股价的每一分增长都会转化为实际的钞票。哥伦比亚的股东们可不会跟日本人计算什么净资产,想要买的话,股价是多少,就要以多少为标准,还得有一定比例的溢价。Remembersprevious life, SonypurchasesColumbia, has spentnear5 billionUSD, thishas been a superfoolabsolutely, because ofColumbiaactual assets2 billionUSD. Butthispurchaseachieves for oneyear, the Columbiastock priceonce moredropsto the normal level, the market valuedirect evaporation2.7 billion, having madeSonyBoard of Directorswant to cry but have no tears.
记得前世,索尼收购哥伦比亚,花了将近五十亿美元,这绝对是当了一次超级冤大头,因为哥伦比亚的实际资产连二十亿美元都不到。而这项收购达成才一年时间,哥伦比亚的股价就再次回落到正常水平,市值直接蒸发了2700000000,让索尼董事会欲哭无泪。Regardless ofprevious lifethis life, Ericto the Japaneseanythingfavorable impression, thistype of exerciseknifehas not butchered the action of fatsheep, howcannot be countedone.
无论前世今生,艾瑞克都对日本人没什么好感,这种操刀子宰肥羊的举动,怎么能不算上自己一个呢。Naturally, in the surfacemustship outoneto feel embarrassed the appearance, ownbenefitisfirst.
当然,表面上还是要装出一副为难样子的,自己的利益才是第一位。„Amy, if so, Iam gladto cooperatewithColumbiavery muchonce more, but, Ihad signed the cooperation agreements of threemovieswithFoxbefore. Formeprovides the ringersecondary rolesmanufacturemovieto deal withFoxas forColumbia that you said that Iwill definitely not comply, thisconcernsmyprestige, many peoplequestionedatmyage, canmanufacture the issue of firstseveralmovie.”
“艾米,如果是这样的话,我很乐意再次与哥伦比亚合作,但是,我之前跟福克斯签署过三部电影的合作协议。至于你说的哥伦比亚为我提供枪手班底制作电影应付福克斯,我肯定不会答应的,这关乎我个人的声誉,本来就有不少人质疑以我的年龄,能不能制作出前几部电影的问题。”HearsEricto relent, Amyasked: „Eric, were youhad the plan?”
听到艾瑞克松口,艾米问道:“艾瑞克,你心里是不是已经有计划了?”Ericshows a faint smile: „Estimated that youalsoobtained the specific content of thatcontract, thereforeasks for the beforehandpricetag, although the native placewas dividedcompared withFoxhas been short of5%, the price of buttoColumbiapaying, thisprice was very as before reasonable.”Amycheeksslight fever, EricandFoxcontractspecificprovision, althoughis not the content of strictsecurity, buthas not disclosedto the outside, definitelywas the commercialspyhas played the role.艾瑞克微微一笑:“估计你们也已经得到了那份合约的具体内容了,所以才开出之前的价码,虽然本土分成比福克斯少了5,但相对于哥伦比亚付出的代价,这个价格依旧很合理。”艾米脸颊微热,艾瑞克与福克斯的合约具体条款虽然不属于严格保密的内容,但也没有对外透露过,其中肯定是商业间谍发挥了作用。Ericdoes not have the interest of gossipthismatter , to continue saying: „SincecontractcontentColumbiaknew, youshouldbe clear, Foxthatcontractmainlytoobtain the distribution rights of «Home Alone»sequel, formulatedfor this reasonspeciallyhas aimed at the detailprovision of thatmovie. Butactuallydoes not caretoanothertwomovies, therefore...”艾瑞克也没有八卦这种事情的兴趣,继续道:“既然合约内容哥伦比亚已经知道了,那你们应该清楚,福克斯那份合约主要还是为了得到《小鬼当家》续集的发行权,为此专门制定了很多针对那部电影的细节条款。但对另外两部电影却并不是太在意,所以…”Amy Pascalinserts the tastesexcitedly: „Therefore, yournextmoviedoes not giveFoxto distributehas not related, so long as before the end of the year, gave the Foxthreeworksto be good, right?”艾米帕斯卡尔兴奋地插口道:“所以,你的下一部电影就算不交给福克斯来发行也没关系,只要年底之前交给福克斯三部作品就行了,对吗?”Ericnodded, shook the head: „Althoughthisdoes not violate the agreement, butFoxis not goodto send. Foxhas been setto decidemynextmoviein the summerfiles . Moreover, because the Foxthis year'smovieissuance planare not many, therefore, onceIwithdraw, Foxwas equal towithdrawing fromsummerfilesBox Officeto competedirectly, thiswill makeFoxloselittle several million, manyover a hundred millionUSDprofits.”艾瑞克点了点头,又摇了摇头:“虽然这样不违反协议,但福克斯并不是那么好打发的。福克斯已经预定把我的下一部电影定在暑期档,而且,因为福克斯今年的电影发行计划不多,所以,一旦我退出,福克斯等于直接退出了暑期档的票房争夺,这会让福克斯损失少则几千万,多则上亿美元的利润。”Amy Pascalfrownedworriedly, althoughsixbiggiantsnot onlyhave the competitionandhas the cooperation, butColumbiais impossibleto put outenoughchipto makeFoxgive up that bigprofit. Casts a sidelong glance the oppositeboy艾米帕斯卡尔苦恼地皱起眉头,六大巨头虽然既有竞争又有合作,但哥伦比亚不可能拿出足够的筹码让福克斯放弃那么大一笔利润。瞟了一眼对面的男孩Ericalsohas no alternativeshrugs, hecannot find outanymeanstemporarily . Moreover, this year'ssummerfilesmoviewas saturated, especiallybigmanufacturemovie. AlthoughEriccanspellactually, directs a movieto giveFoxagain, perhapsthismatterotherscannot accomplish, person who hasGoldfingerregarding this typedoes not have the issue.艾瑞克也无可奈何地耸耸肩,他暂时也想不出什么办法,而且,今年的暑期档影片已经饱和了,特别是大制作电影方面。虽然艾瑞克倒是可以拼一下,再执导一部电影给福克斯,这种事情别人或许办不到,对于他这种有金手指的人却没问题。However, in this case, thatisfaces the extra«Batman» of movieandMay, shakeswith《Indiana Jones》 of Junehardly, attains in Julydifficultlyinadequately, do oneselfcompetewithoneself? Thisis doomedto create the mutually woundedresult.
不过,这样的话,那是将额外的这部电影与五月的《蝙蝠侠》对垒呢,还是与六月的《夺宝奇兵》硬撼呢,难不成拿到七月份,自己跟自己竞争?这样都注定会造成两败俱伤的结果。Meanwhile, hedoes not give up that excellentcondition that gives upColumbiapledging. Even ifcalculatesaccording tolower partmovieNorth America200 millionUSDBox Office, share that heattains, will be only less than FoxsurelyUSD, butColumbiais actually willingto bethreeUSDproduction costspayssurely.
但同时,他又不舍得放弃哥伦比亚开出的那么优厚的条件。哪怕是按照下部电影北美两亿美元的票房来算,他拿到的分成,也只会比福克斯少一千万美元,而哥伦比亚却愿意为三千万美元的制作成本买单。Let alonehe is not more confidenttohisbelowmovie, so long asalthoughcaninviteTom CruiseandTom Hanks, in additiontheirBox Officerallying point, brokenhundred milliondefinitelydo not have the issue. Butcanattainmanyspecifically, absolutelydoes not haveprevious lifeBox Officeto make the reference, because ofhisnextmovie, does not come from the previous lifeHollywoodmovie.
更何况他对自己的下部电影并不是那么充满信心,虽然只要能邀请到汤姆克鲁斯和汤姆汉克斯,再加上自己的票房号召力,破亿肯定没问题。但具体能够拿到多少,却完全没有前世的票房做参考,因为他下一部电影,并不是来自前世好莱坞的电影。„Amy, givesmeseveraldays of time, Ineedto communicatewithMr. Barry Dillerfirst. Ifcansecure the understanding of Foxto be best, if not really ableto achieve the reconciliation, in any case, Ido not calculateviolates the agreement.”
“艾米,给我几天时间,我需要先跟巴里迪勒先生沟通一下。如果能取得福克斯的谅解最好,如果实在无法达成和解,反正,我也不算违反协议。”„WhatneedsColumbiato make?”Amy Pascalasked.
“需要哥伦比亚做点什么吗?”艾米帕斯卡尔问道。Ericshows neither approval nor disapproval: „What can Columbiamake? Difficultto be inadequateyouto go to the Mr. Barry Dilleroffice, saidtohim: Hey, wemustnegotiatewithJapanese, needssomechips, how the movieunderWilliamsgivesus?”艾瑞克不置可否:“哥伦比亚能做什么?难不成你去巴里迪勒先生的办公室,对他说:嘿,我们要跟日本人谈判,需要些筹码,把威廉姆斯下部电影让给我们如何?”„This...”Amyshook the headwith a smile: „The words that good, Iand othergoodnews, to needto help, cancontact withmedirectly.”
“这…”艾米笑着摇了摇头:“好吧,我等你的好消息,需要帮助的话,可以直接联系我。”Theyhave left behind the respectivecontact method, bids farewell. After Ericgoes home, has dialed the telephone of Barry Dillerofficedirectly, was actually informedby the assistant of opposite party, Barry Dillerwent toEuropeto travel on official business, fourdayslatercame back. AlthoughthatassistantleftEric the Barry Dillertemporarycontact method, hedirectlyhas not actually hitto the opposite party, buthas booked a fourdays later meeting.
两人留下了各自的联系方式,才分手告别。艾瑞克回家之后,直接拨通了巴里迪勒办公室的电话,却被对方的助理告知,巴里迪勒去欧洲出差了,四天之后才回来。虽然那位助理将巴里迪勒的临时联系方式留给了艾瑞克,他却并没有直接打给对方,而是预约了四天后的一次会面。Qing that after allthismatterwas very difficultto sayin the telephone, theywere separated byten thousandli (0.5 km), if the communicationwere not smooth, has broken offnoisilyon the gain does not equal the loss.
毕竟这件事在电话里很难说的清,两人相隔万里,万一沟通不顺利,闹掰了就得不偿失了。
