The time that on January 18, the Golden Globe Award evening banquet conducted exactly was on Sunday. 1月18日,金球奖晚宴举办的时间恰好是星期天。 Eric has still not attended the presentation ceremony, but after the presentation ceremony ended, rushes to a Beverly Hills Manor manor, participates celebration party that Miramax conducts. 艾瑞克依然没有出席颁奖典礼,只是在颁奖典礼结束后,赶往比弗利山庄的一处庄园,参加米拉麦克斯举办的庆功派对。 „9 : 30, how did you come?” “已经九点半了啊,你怎么才过来？” Eric just got out, Elizabeth and Julia together welcomed. Elizabeth puts out a hand wanting side greasy Julia toward Eric to tow, has not forgotten to express own disaffection. 艾瑞克刚刚下车,伊丽莎白和茱莉亚就一起迎了过来。伊丽莎白伸手把想要往艾瑞克身边腻的茱莉亚拖开,还不忘表达自己的不满。 „I and Tim Burton supper,” Eric has complied with one, looks that kept off by Elizabeth in other at the same time expression suffering from injustice Julia intentionally, said: „Always do not bully her.” “我和蒂姆・伯顿约了晚餐,”艾瑞克应了一句,看着被伊丽莎白故意挡在另外一边表情委屈的茱莉亚,道:“你不要总是欺负她。” „My where has to bully her, you want to notice that she is in front of these many people to rub on you?” Elizabeth lifted the chin to hint the crowd in not far away lawn, then said: „Is Tim Burton, concerned with that «Sleepy Hollow»?” “我哪有欺负她,你难道想看到她当着这么多人的面蹭你身上？”伊丽莎白抬了抬下巴示意不远处草坪上的人群,接着道:“蒂姆・伯顿,和那部《断头谷》有关吗？” Eric nods: „Yes, discussed matter that some movies arrange.” 艾瑞克点头:“是啊,谈一些电影筹备的事情。” Elizabeth envies: „Had been robbed a good movie by you, that script I have also looked, now thinks, but also is really good.” 伊丽莎白羡慕道:“又被你抢走了一部好电影,那个剧本我也看过呢,现在想想,还真是不错。” „This is uncertain, before movie opens, who knows that the result will be what kind.” “这可不一定,电影上映之前,谁知道结果会怎么样。” „You give Fox.” “那你让给福克斯吧。” „Does not let.” “不让。” „Bastard,” Elizabeth must lift the hand to pinch subconsciously. “混蛋,”伊丽莎白下意识就要抬手掐过来。 Eric smiles the shunt, waits for Elizabeth to receive to reach behind the back, asked: „Was result what kind, won several prizes?” 艾瑞克笑着闪开了一些,等伊丽莎白收回手,才问道:“结果怎么样,拿了几个奖？” „«United Kingdom Patient», the plot class best picture, best Director, the best male Lord, the best female matches, best dubbing in music,” Elizabeth somewhat slightly happily sent out a long string award item name immediately, said: „«Mind Backstop» changes the screenwriter book best. That side TV series, «Dark Angel hei Angel» has also attained several nominations, but failed completely, actually «hei Family» won four awards.” “《英国病人》,剧情类最佳影片,最佳导演,最佳男主,最佳女配,最佳配乐,”伊丽莎白立刻有些小得意地报出了一长串奖项名字,又道:“还有《心灵捕手》的最佳改编剧本。电视剧那边,《末世黒天使》也拿到了几个提名,只是全部落空了,倒是《黒道家族》获得了四项大奖。” Eric hear of Elizabeth said that actually some doubts: „I think that Harvey will stress public relations «Mind Backstop», why «United Kingdom Patient», Harvey they?” 艾瑞克听伊丽莎白说完,却有些疑惑:“我以为哈维会侧重公关《心灵捕手》呢,为什么还是《英国病人》,哈维他们呢？” „Harvey with Robert Redford discussed that a movie,” Elizabeth was explaining, the expression somewhat was similarly regrettable, said: „Actually we also want to give up «United Kingdom Patient», fully operation «Mind Backstop». From the beginning, Miramax already invested many public relations resources on «United Kingdom Patient», is impossible to change the goal immediately. Moreover, do you know «As Good as It Gets»?” “哈维正在和罗伯特・雷德福谈一部电影,”伊丽莎白解释着,表情同样有些遗憾,道:“其实我们也想放弃《英国病人》,全力运作《心灵捕手》的。只是,从一开始,米拉麦克斯就已经在《英国病人》身上投入了很多公关资源,不可能立刻更改目标。而且,你知道《尽善尽美》吧？” Eric nods, «As Good as It Gets» is a feature film that Sony Film Industry issues at the end of the year, Jack Nickel and Helen Hunt act the leading role. The movie narrated that a disposition eccentric disagreeable writer gradually changes under the influence of personal maidservant to person's story to the situation. Jack Nickel and Helen Hunt have very splendid performance in this movie. 艾瑞克点头,《尽善尽美》是索尼影业年底发布的一部剧情片,杰克・尼克尔森和海伦・亨特主演。影片讲述一个性格孤僻乖戾的作家在身边人的影响下逐渐改变对人对事态度的故事。杰克・尼克尔森和海伦・亨特在这部影片里都有着非常精彩的表演。 The «As Good as It Gets» Box Office curve and «Mind Backstop» is similar, is high reputation long-line Box Office, in December screens now, Box Office has achieved 8 more than 7 million USD, single week Box Office also placed surely USD about, appears compared with «Mind Backstop» competitive, movie North America total Box Office even possibly rushes to 150 million USD. 《尽善尽美》的票房曲线和《心灵捕手》差不多,都是高口碑长线票房,12月份上映到现在,累计票房已经达到8700多万美元,单周票房还保持在千万美元左右,比《心灵捕手》还显得后劲十足,电影北美总票房甚至可能冲到1.5亿美元。 However, the production cost of this movie is 50 million USD, is the big manufacture, the rate of return is unable compares by far with «Mind Backstop». 不过,这部电影的制作成本是5000万美元,已经算是大制作,回报率远远无法与《心灵捕手》相比。 Elizabeth continues saying: „«As Good as It Gets» Box Office and reputation are stronger than «Mind Backstop», but cannot compare pure literary «United Kingdom Patient». Sony Film Industry this year in a complete mess that on the commercial film is defeated, has this kind of highlight with great difficulty, they the investment in award item public relations spare no effort similarly. If Miramax then supports «Mind Backstop» clashes mysterious, or the dispersion energy simultaneously gives dual attention to «United Kingdom Patient», we possibly have achieved nothing, therefore, can only continue fully to support «United Kingdom Patient» now, this can guarantee that exceeds «As Good as It Gets», as for «Mind Backstop», can only meet one's fate with resignation.” 伊丽莎白继续道:“《尽善尽美》的票房和口碑都要比《心灵捕手》强一些,但比不上纯文艺的《英国病人》。索尼影业今年在商业片上失败的一塌糊涂,好不容易有这样一个亮点,他们在奖项公关方面的投入同样不遗余力。如果米拉麦克斯转而支持《心灵捕手》冲奥,或者分散精力同时兼顾《英国病人》,那我们可能一无所获,所以,现在就只能继续全力支持《英国病人》,这样才能确保胜过《尽善尽美》,至于《心灵捕手》,就只能听天由命了。” Was saying, three people have arrived in the lawn that the person's shadow has swayed. 这么说着,三人就已经走到了人影攒动的草坪上。 Eric smiles 11 is greeting with the guests of approach, Harvey Weinstein and famous Director and Actor Robert Redford also comes out from the villa, Robert side Redford also with a 30 -year-old middle-aged person, somewhat looks familiar, Eric has thought, recalls to mind this is Creative Artists Agency current Chairman Richard Lovette. 艾瑞克微笑着与迎上来的宾客们11打着招呼,哈维・韦恩斯坦和著名导演兼演员罗伯特・雷德福也从别墅里出来,罗伯特・雷德福身旁还跟着一个三十多岁的中年人,有些面熟,艾瑞克想了下,才记起这是CAA的现任总裁理查德・洛维特。 Eric and Harvey hugged, turns around with Robert Redford as well as Richard Lovette shakes hand. 艾瑞克与哈维拥抱了下,转身和罗伯特・雷德福以及理查德・洛维特握手。 Robert acting with constraint that somewhat Redford displays, Richard Lovette is warm, has shaken hand with Eric, has not forgotten to seize the chance a name card to fill. 罗伯特・雷德福表现的有些矜持,理查德・洛维特却非常热情,与艾瑞克握过手,还不忘趁机将一张名片塞过来。 Fires off greeting, the guest who with gathering exchanged greetings, under the Elizabeth look hints, Eric and Harvey several people entered in the villa together. 打完招呼,和聚拢过来的宾客寒暄了一阵,在伊丽莎白的眼神示意下,艾瑞克和哈维几人一起走进了别墅里。 Comes to a reception room, Eric saw that Elizabeth Julia drove out wants with eagerly, sits down on the sofa reluctantly with a smile, looks to Harvey and Robert Redford and Richard Lovette several people, said: „Liz just said that you were discussing a movie?” 来到一间会客室,艾瑞克看到伊丽莎白把眼巴巴地想要跟进来的茱莉亚赶了出去,无奈地笑着在沙发上坐下,望向哈维、罗伯特・雷德福和理查德・洛维特几人,道:“莉兹刚刚说你们在谈一部影片？” Harvey several people nod, when Elizabeth carries tray champagne to walk personally, distributes after several people sits down by Eric, Harvey said: „Eric, is that «Horse Language», Robert wants to reorganize the movie it, our discussed is this matter.” 哈维几人点点头,等伊丽莎白亲自端着一托盘香槟走进来,分发给几人后在艾瑞克旁边坐下,哈维说道:“艾瑞克,是那部《马语者》,罗伯特想要把它改编成电影,我们正在谈的就是这件事。” «Horse Language» is United Kingdom writer Nicolas a novel that Evans writes. The daughter silk lost a leg in an accident, mother Annie to cure daughter the psychological trauma that because the accident has, bringing in the accident to fortunately survive actually a state serious Ma Qianli to rush about similarly, seeks for one it is said to understand with horse exchange the story of rule by people good horses. 《马语者》是英国作家尼古拉斯・埃文斯撰写的一部小说。女儿克瑞丝在一次事故中失去了一条腿,母亲安妮为了治好女儿因为事故产生的心理创伤,带着事故中同样幸存下来却伤情严重的一匹马千里奔波,寻找一位据说懂得与马交流的人治好马匹的故事。 Although the result of novel is unsatisfactory, but the whole actually warmly cures. 小说的结局虽然不如人意,但整体却非常温馨治愈。 Since 1995 has published, this novel had translated into the 30 many writing, the global sales volume surpassed the 10 million book. 自从1995年出版以来,这部小说已经被译成了三十多种文字,全球销量超过1000万册。 Reason that Eric knows these information, half are this life experience, he very much has paid attention to several big bestseller rankings the information, with the aim of momentarily buying in the memory valuable books copyright. Other half, then from previous life, because of original «Horse Language», daughter silk is acting named Scarlet Johnson. 艾瑞克之所以知道这些信息,一半是今生的经历,他一直都很关注几大畅销书排行榜的信息,以便随时买下记忆中有价值的书籍版权。另一半,则是来自前世,因为原版的《马语者》,女儿克瑞丝的扮演着名叫斯嘉丽・约翰逊。 Eric hear of Harvey said that actually looked at Creative Artists Agency Chairman Richard Lovette. 艾瑞克听哈维这么说,却是看了眼CAA的总裁理查德・洛维特。 «Horse Language» as a world-class bestseller, Richard Lovette appears here, not difficult to imagine, this should be a Creative Artists Agency pack project very much obviously. 《马语者》作为一部世界级的畅销书,理查德・洛维特又出现在这里,不难想象,这很显然应该是CAA的一个打包项目。 Today after previous time Pierce Brosnan salary event, Richard Lovette first time sees Eric. The previous event makes is in chaotic situation, afterward Pierce Brosnan has thought through all, because although by Richard Lovette stirred muddily the truth, is unable to look for the trouble of Creative Artists Agency, but quick has also terminated the broker contract with Creative Artists Agency, now invested William Morris Agency. 今天还是上次皮尔斯・布鲁斯南片酬事件之后,理查德・洛维特第一次见到艾瑞克。上次事件闹得鸡飞狗跳,事后皮尔斯・布鲁斯南想通了一切,虽然因为被理查德・洛维特搅浑了真相,无法找CAA的麻烦,但也很快与CAA解除了经纪合约,现在已经投入到了WMA旗下。 Entire item matter to Richard the trauma that Lovette creates is nothing less than heavy, at present initiates the instigator of entire item matter to sit in oneself opposite, Richard Lovette slightly has not actually displayed the resentment in heart to read, he is a very realistic person, notes Eric to look, but shows the smile, adds on own initiative: „Mr. Williams, «Horse Language» had the world-class influence, in the art in the trade, this is one has the potential project.” 整件事给理查德・洛维特造成的心理阴影不可谓不重,眼下引发整件事的始作俑者就坐在自己对面,理查德・洛维特却丝毫没有表现出心中的怨念,他是一个很现实的人,注意到艾瑞克看过来,只是露出微笑,主动补充道:“威廉姆斯先生,《马语者》已经拥有了世界级的影响力,无论是在艺术上还是商业上,这都是一个非常有潜力的项目。” Eric nods, said: „Although has not read attentively, but I also know probably «Horse Language» content, this truly is a very outstanding novel, but wants to reorganize the movie, the difficulty will be very big, because of overall, the novel plot is primarily is warmly light, therefore, Bob, how you do plan to do?” 艾瑞克点点头,道:“虽然没有细读,但我大概也知道《马语者》的内容,这确实是一部非常优秀的小说,但想要改编成电影,难度却会很大,因为整体上,小说情节都以温馨平淡为主,所以,鲍勃,你打算怎么做？” Robert Redford listens to this young people to inquire itself at present, many feelings somewhat are at heart strange. 罗伯特・雷德福听着眼前这个年轻人询问自己,心里多少感觉有些古怪。 61-year-old Robert Redford already made a name for oneself in Hollywood, and has very high status, he not only obtained Oscar best Director, but also in recent years the founder of influence bigger and bigger Sundance Film Festival. 今年61岁的罗伯特・雷德福在好莱坞早已功成名就,而且有着很高的地位,他不但已经获得了奥斯卡最佳导演,而且还是最近几年影响力越来越大的圣丹斯电影节的创始人。 However, thinks that Eric creation a series of Box Office miracle, Robert Redford's does not adapt also quickly feels relaxed, Eric last year «Casino Royale» Box Office, added also to be much more than this whole life shoots movie Box Office. 不过,想想艾瑞克创造的一系列票房奇迹,罗伯特・雷德福心里的一丝不适应也很快释然,艾瑞克去年的一部《皇家赌场》票房,就比他这辈子拍摄的电影票房加起来还要多得多。 Reorganized under the train of thought that Robert Redford said: „Eric, wants to tell this story not to be truly easy, I plan to place male leading character Tom the portray of script with emphasis Polk and Annie and in relational transformation between silk mother and daughter, this can avoid the entire movie tends to be light. Tom round Polk is an unruly person, at first, Annie through the telephone communication he, the hope has been helped, but he rejected without hesitation. Annie spared no efforts to rush to his farm from afar, stemming from take pity on this little girl, as well as to the favorable impression of Annie this strong woman heart of hearts, Tom complied to help to treat that wound horse. Finally, that horse has stood, the little girl has also untied her heart knot, but Tom and Annie regrettably are actually not able to arrive at the same place.” 整理了下思绪,罗伯特・雷德福说道:“艾瑞克,想要讲好这个故事确实不容易,我计划将剧本的刻画重点放在男主人公汤姆・波克与安妮和克瑞丝母女之间的关系转变上,这样可以避免整部电影趋于平淡。汤姆发・波克是一个桀骜不驯的人,最初,安妮通过电话联系他,希望得到帮助,但他毫不犹豫地拒绝了。安妮不辞辛苦千里迢迢地赶到了他的农场,出于对这小女孩的怜惜,以及对安妮这个坚强女人内心深处的好感,汤姆答应帮忙治疗那匹伤马。最后,那匹马重新站了起来,小女孩也解开了自己的心结,但汤姆和安妮却遗憾地无法走到一起。” Eric looks that opposite Harvey and Elizabeth reveal the approval the expression, commended nods, then asked: „, Bob, you planned how much money with comes shoots this movie?” 艾瑞克看着对面的哈维和身旁的伊丽莎白都露出认可的表情,也赞许地点点头,接着问道:“那么,鲍勃,你打算用多少钱来拍摄这部电影？” Robert Redford has hesitated, looks to Richard Lovette. 罗伯特・雷德福迟疑了下,看向身旁的理查德・洛维特。 Richard Lovette said: „Mr. Williams, «Horse Language» author Mr. Evans requests the investment of this project not to be lower than 50 million USD.” 理查德・洛维特道:“威廉姆斯先生,《马语者》的作者埃文斯先生要求这个项目的投资不得低于5000万美元。” „50 million USD.” “5000万美元啊。” Eric has duplicated one, is stroking gently the drinking glass in hand. 艾瑞克重复了一句,摩挲着手中的玻璃杯。 He can look, Richard Lovette's these words retained, the final production cost of movie may be higher. 他能够看得出来,理查德・洛维特的这番话还是有所保留的,影片的最终制作成本可能还要高一些。 Although «Horse Language» is the bestseller recent, some media even also compare favorably with «Love has gone and only good memory has left in the dream» and «Thorn Bird» and other famous work it, but in fact, «Horse Language» has not been this classical degree. But the superiority of this novel is also very distinct, it just published for three years, is at the popularity most prosperous time. 《马语者》虽然是最近几年的畅销书,一些媒体甚至还把它与《廊桥遗梦》、《荆棘鸟》等名著相媲美,但实际上,《马语者》还远没有达到这种经典程度。但这部小说的优势也很明显,它才刚刚出版三年时间,正处在人气最为鼎盛的时刻。 As Hollywood top Director, Robert Redford is also very small the possibility that this movie racket pounds. 作为好莱坞的顶级导演,罗伯特・雷德福把这部影片拍砸的可能性也很小。 If the budget of movie can control in 30 million USD, absolutely is the project that is worth making. But the cost surpasses 50 million, regarding a feature film of leaning literary arts, somewhat was dangerous. Achievement of the literary film in trade is eventually limited, like «Dances with Wolves» and phenomenon level movies of «Forrest Gump» these award item Box Office double harvests, the Hollywood 35 years may not present one, in the Eric memory does not have any relation of «Horse Language» and Oscar, even if this time is operated by Weinstein Brothers, will have the superiority on future Oscar, but the cost surpasses 50 million USD, the prospective profit of movie is also very limited. 如果电影的预算能够控制在3000万美元以内,绝对是一个值得一做的项目。但成本超过5000万,对于一部偏文艺的剧情片来说,就有些危险了。文艺片在商业上的作为终究有限,像《与狼共舞》、《阿甘正传》这些奖项票房双丰收的现象级电影,好莱坞35年都不一定会出现一部,艾瑞克记忆中也没有《马语者》与奥斯卡的任何联系,即使这次由韦恩斯坦兄弟操作,会在未来的奥斯卡上取得优势,但成本超过5000万美元,影片的盈利前景也很有限。 Elizabeth or Weinstein, even also includes Richard Lovette and Robert Redford, hopes that in movie judges with the aid of vision of Eric the prospect of this project. 无论是伊丽莎白还是韦恩斯坦,甚至还包括理查德・洛维特和罗伯特・雷德福,都希望借助艾瑞克在电影方面的眼光评判一下这个项目的前景。 Saw that Eric hesitated some little time had not spoken, several people of moods were disturbed. 眼看艾瑞克沉吟了好一会儿都没有说话,几人的心情都忐忑起来。 Eric notes four people to look at itself eagerly, thinks, has not expressed the idea of innermost feelings directly, but has not looked at script on the grounds of oneself, changed the topic superficially. 艾瑞克注意到四个人眼巴巴地望着自己,想了想,还是没有直接表示出自己内心的想法,只是以自己没有看过剧本为由,轻描淡写地岔开了话题。 After celebration party conclusion, Eric and Elizabeth two females hurry back to them together in the mansion that Beverly Hills top. 庆功派对结束之后,艾瑞克和伊丽莎白两女一起赶回她们在比弗利山顶的豪宅。 Elizabeth starts the vehicle, looks at the back row already greasily in Eric Julia, curls the lip discontentedly. Eric little drives, Julia is not suitable to drive in Eric front condition, she can only. 伊丽莎白发动车子,看着后排已经腻在艾瑞克身上的茱莉亚,不满地撇撇嘴。艾瑞克很少开车,茱莉亚在艾瑞克面前的状态根本就不适合开车,她就只能自己来。 Waits for the vehicle to go steadily in Beverly Hills, Elizabeth impatiently asked: „Eric, you thought that «Horse Language» is what kind of?” 等车子平稳地行驶在比弗利山道上,伊丽莎白才迫不及待地问道:“艾瑞克,你到底觉得《马语者》怎么样啊？” Eric is hugging the Julia's slender waist, is feeling girl cat rubs gently on oneself, said: „Does good, the cost was too high, could not owe, but do not want to gain too.” 艾瑞克搂着茱莉亚的细腰,感受着女郎猫似的在自己身上磨蹭,道:“做不做都行,成本过高了,亏不了,但也别想赚太多。” Elizabeth said: „Harvey said that the global Box Office prospect of this project at least has 200 million, if can attain Oscar, the late recording tape and television transmission power income will also be very substantial.” 伊丽莎白道:“哈维说,这个项目的全球票房前景至少有2亿,如果能够拿到奥斯卡,后期的录像带和电视转播权收入也会很丰厚。” „You should also clearly recognize that a reality, Liz, the audience of literary film is eventually limited. In my opinion, regarding the literary film, the 50 million USD production cost, is the investment limit, the high words, recoup the cost the possibility to be very low, do not say that gained.” “你们也应该认清一个现实啊,莉兹,文艺片的受众终究是有限的。在我看来,对于文艺片来说,5000万美元的制作成本,就已经是投资极限,再高的话,收回成本的可能性很低,更不要说盈利了。” Elizabeth has hesitated, said: „For these years but, Harvey did good, Fox cannot always limit him in small cost literary film.” 伊丽莎白迟疑了下,道:“可是,哈维这几年做的还是不错的,福克斯也不能总是把他限制在小成本文艺片方面。” „Issue left Harvey here, I did not deny the Harvey ability, but he possibly received recent years the big manufacture commercial film successful stimulation, thinks that the big investment will have the high repayment, but this rule was not suitable at the literary film. I remember that initially had chatted this matter with you, if Harvey start favors invests the big manufacture greatly to the prize piece, almost arrived at Fox and Miramax separates from each other.” “问题就出在哈维这里了,我不否认哈维的能力,但他可能是受到最近几年大制作商业片成功的刺激,认为大投资才会有高回报,但这种规则在文艺片上根本就不适用。我记得当初就和你聊过这件事,如果哈维开始倾向于大投资大制作的冲奖片,差不多就到了福克斯和米拉麦克斯分道扬镳的时候了。”
