Chapter 11 第11章 Novel manuscript() 小说稿() „, Mr. Adrian, we do not think that such condition was just good,” Boehlandt is comes prepared obviously, he very earnestly very sincere looks at Adrian, „you have the talent, Mr. Adrian, this no one will deny. But what similarly cannot deny, you in this trade is a new person, we must handle matters according to the stipulation.” “不不不,阿德里安先生,我们认为这样的条件刚刚好,”伯兰特显然是有备而来的,他很认真很诚恳的看着阿德里安,“你非常有才华,阿德里安先生,这点谁也不会否认。但同样不能否认的是,你在这行当中还是个新人,我们必须按规定办事。” „?” Adrian selected eyebrow impartially, both hands has intersected in one. “哦？”阿德里安不置可否的挑了挑眉,双手交叉在了一起。 „Even if after is the movie opens, has the splendid box office, we impossible to give you in the script a higher price,” Boehlandt has given a hand signal, maintains is being still earnest and sincere, „, because these two prices of scripts write a play regarding a new person at present, was quite liberal. As for hands in a writing by a set time, I think that what this does not have to need to discuss, right?” “即便是电影上映后有着出色的票房,我们也不可能在剧本上给你更高的价格,”伯兰特做了个手势,依然保持着认真和诚恳,“因为目前这两个剧本的价格对于一位新人编剧来说,已经是相当的优渥了。至于限期交稿,我想这不存在什么需要讨论的,对吗？” „I want to remind one, Mr. Boehlandt, the price of script is not I decides.” Adrian smiles is spreading out the hand. “我想提醒一句,伯兰特先生,剧本的价格并不是我定的。”阿德里安微笑着摊开手。 Ejected these two script latter four companies immediately to launch intense competition in him, because before , that four valuable script, they did not have to keep prices down and thought of share, the price that started out naturally also successively rose. 在他抛出这两个剧本后四家公司立即展开了激烈的争夺,因为之前那四个颇具价值的剧本,他们已经没有了压价和分享的念头,开出的价格自然也是节节攀升。 What earliest gives up is Warner, because the scripts in their hand are «Bodyguard», according to their professional judgments, «Startled Sound Scream» and «American Pie», although has not the small anticipation, benefit that but brings not necessarily compared with «Bodyguard» high many \; Then the one who gives up is Fox, they think the Adrian script, although is good, but global lifted slightly high the price with Disney \; Disney insisted finally, although they manufactured was the family photo type movies, but also had special manufactures the touchstone film company of g level above movie, but has still not spelled round the world. 最早放弃的是华纳,因为他们手中的剧本是《保镖》,根据他们的专业人士判断,《惊声尖叫》和《美国派》虽然都有不小的看点,但带来的利益并不一定比《保镖》高多少\;然后放弃的是福克斯,他们觉得阿德里安的剧本虽然不错,可环球和迪斯尼把价格抬得稍微高了点\;迪斯尼坚持到了最后,他们虽然制作的都是合家欢类型的电影,可旗下也有专门制作g级以上电影的试金石电影公司,只是依然没有拼过环球。 „Please I affront, Mr. Boehlandt, you have not seen my potential obviously,” Adrian continued, „I think, when you pondered how again must attain these two scripts, has not thought that present I will acquire a small film company and started the director.” “请恕我冒犯,伯兰特先生,你们显然还没有看到我的潜力,”阿德里安继续说了起来,“我想,在你们再思考要怎么拿到这两个剧本的时候,并没有想到现在的我会收购一家小电影公司并做起了导演。” „This is two matters, Mr. Adrian.” Saying that Boehlandt shows neither approval nor disapproval. “这是两码事,阿德里安先生。”伯兰特不置可否的说道。 „, I did not mean that” Adrian shaking the head of however, „I have the leeway of choice leisurely. I believe that Disney or Fox, Warner can be willing in this above to make the concession, if they want also to be able only to invest, but is manufactured by me, after all nobody understands own script compared with me.” “不不不,我的意思是说,”阿德里安施施然的摇了摇头,“我还有选择的余地。我相信迪斯尼又或者福克斯、华纳都会愿意在这上面做出让步,如果他们愿意的话还可以只投资而由我来制作,毕竟没人比我更了解自己的剧本。” „Such does is not quite as if appropriate, Cauville mister.” Although Boehlandt's expression does not have anything to change, but changes in name this point to see his disaffection as well as thinking otherwise from him. “这么做似乎不太合适,科威尔先生。”伯兰特的表情虽然没什么变化,但从他改变称呼这一点上可以看出他的不满以及不以为然。 „Indeed so.” Those who stem from him to anticipate, Adrian had not denied. “的确如此。”出乎他意料的是,阿德里安并没有否认。 „Is inferior to this, after” Adrian has sipped a coffee , to continue saying that „round the world can have the only property rights of sequel script, but the concrete price should after first screens discussed again. If really could not talk about the same place, round the world can find other people to compile the sequel script to be natural in addition, the definition of having no meeting of minds must discuss specifically. You think what kind, Mr. Boehlandt?” “不如这样吧,”阿德里安呷了口咖啡后继续说道,“环球可以拥有续集剧本的唯一所有权,但具体价格应该在第一部上映之后再进行商议。如果实在谈不到一起,环球可以另找其他人编写续集剧本当然,谈不拢的定义必须具体商议。你觉得怎么样,伯兰特先生？” Boehlandt somewhat is in a daze, he cannot think that Adrian will propose such condition, the only property rights, he unexpectedly also has also handed over in the compilation power of sequel oneself hand! Although defines specifically must discuss, but round the world must want to renege on a promise really asks other screenwriter to write the script in addition the words is also very simple matter. 伯兰特有些发呆,他怎么也想不到阿德里安会提出这样的条件,唯一所有权也就算了,他居然还把续集的编写权交到自己手上！虽然具体定义还要商量,可环球要真想反悔另找别的编剧写剧本的话也是非常简单的事情。 „I think that this is an acceptable condition.” No matter what first complied to say again, oneself has not suffered a loss, must discuss in any case specifically, did not need to be worried that can have problems. This is Boehlandt's idea. “我认为这是个可以接受的条件。”不管怎样先答应下来再说,自己这边并没有吃亏,反正还要具体商议的,不用担心会出什么问题。这就是伯兰特的想法。 „You can rest for several days in London, Attorney Wilson will come to discuss the detail with you quickly.” Adrian rubbish, achieves consistent evacuation Boehlandt to leave. “你可以在伦敦休息几天,威尔逊律师会很快过来和你商谈细节的。”阿德里安也没有废话,达成一致后送伯兰特离开了。 Looked like global has taken very big advantage probably, but Adrian do not think. He is very clear, although are acquires the film company is the director, may still be only wishes of some talents they definitely to the beforehand actions has the understanding in the global eye to the wealthy family juniors who the film industry plays. In addition Adrian is a new person, therefore they will want first to purchase the sequel with the similar price the script, maximum benefit this is the way things should be. 看起来环球好像占了很大的便宜,可阿德里安自己并不这么认为。他很清楚,虽然自己又是收购电影公司又是做导演,可在环球的眼中依然只是个有些才华的想要到电影行业玩玩的富家子弟他们肯定对自己以前的所作所为有了解。加上阿德里安还是个新人,所以他们才会想要用同样的价格优先购买续集的剧本,利益最大化这是人之常情。 Such being the case, Adrian simply has given them a bigger cake, instead during his plan the script in money that makes is only the petty profit, the leading role and several big film companies hit to relate, said again he is not interested in the compilation of sequel. Script that is most difficult to compile in Hollywood is not the original is not the reorganization, what is most difficult to compile is the sequel of sale movie. 既然如此,阿德里安干脆的给了他们一份更大的蛋糕,反正在他的计划当中剧本赚的钱只是蝇头小利,主要作用还是和几大电影公司打好关系,再说他对续集的编写也不感兴趣。在好莱坞最难编写的剧本不是原创也不是改编,最难编写的是热卖电影的续集。 The script of sequel not only need consider the movie selling point, but must consider and previous volume of relation, once presents the big mechanical damage logically, even if by the visual effect attraction audience, will still be denounced. What is more important is the sequel movie is very easy to create aesthetically weary, thus makes the selling point decrease progressively, for example «Startled Sound Scream» third, has on the standard from the script, but the audiences knew nothing but are the different mask killers came out to look for Sinti's trouble, in addition the screenwriter is unable to jump out the frame that most starts completely, naturally could not compare first. 续集的剧本不仅要考虑到电影卖点,还要考虑到和前一集的联系,一旦在逻辑上出现较大的硬伤,即便是靠视觉效果吸引观众,依然还是会被诟病。更重要的是续集电影很容易造成审美疲劳从而让卖点递减,比如《惊声尖叫》第三部,就从剧本而言还是有着中上水准的,可观众们已经知道无非就是不同的面具杀手出来找辛蒂的麻烦,加上编剧无法完全跳出最开始的框架,自然也就比不上第一部了。 «American Pie» is also so, although left 6 and 7, may arrive behind basically reduced to various types erotic as well as the discussion officer is the selling point. Therefore, sequel script can not touch on slightly does not touch on slightly, in the plan of Adrian, maintains the talented image is also very important. 《美国派》也是如此,虽然出了6、7部,可到了后面基本上已经沦落到各种情色以及讨论官为卖点。所以,续集剧本能不沾边就不沾边,在阿德里安的计划当中,保持才华横溢的形象也是非常重要的。 „What issue has?” After packing off Boehlandt comes back, Adrian saw Katherine to stand in the small table of negotiations was gazing at itself with the curious vision a moment ago. “有什么问题吗？”在送走伯兰特回来后,阿德里安看见凯瑟琳站在刚才谈判的小桌边用好奇的目光注视着自己。 „Anything, has not been only...... Somewhat accidental.” Katherine has given the meaning unclear hand signal, „has not thought that you besides is a director is a screenwriter.” “没什么,只是……有些意外。”凯瑟琳做了个意味不明的手势,“没想到你除了是个导演之外还是个编剧。” „The matter that you do not know also has, Miss Kate Beckinsale Miss,” Adrian smiled, „I think that you looked script time definitely has not noted the name of screenwriter therefore sometimes drawing a conclusion easily.” “你不知道的事情还有很多,贝琴萨小姐,”阿德里安笑了笑,“我想你看剧本的时候肯定没有注意到编剧的名字所以有时候不要轻易的下结论。” „Is very regrettable, who you give my script not to indicate the screenwriter are.” Katherine light snort|hum, tone leaves. “很遗憾,你给我的剧本并没有注明编剧是谁。”凯瑟琳轻哼一声,调头离开。 Looks at her back, the shrugging arm that Adrian cannot help laughing, remembers that Joseph said that she is only 17 years old, leading a rude and unreasonable individuality young girl quite to be really appealing. Why does not know, he always thought that she looks like looks familiar very much, why this is also his one to her interested reason. But Adrian has not gone to recall carefully, such using energy time and energy. 看着她的背影,阿德里安哑然失笑的耸了耸肩膀,记得约瑟夫说她只有17岁,带点泼辣个性的少女果然比较吸引人。不知道为什么,他总觉得她看起来很眼熟,这也是为什么他对她充满兴趣的原因之一。但阿德里安并没有去仔细回忆,那样太费劲时间和精力了。 Does not need to think that many, succeeded in obtaining said again. Adrian is pinching the finger gently. 不用想那么多,到手了再说。阿德里安轻轻捏着手指。 Thump knocking on a door sound, Adrian does not lift before the typewriter was bustling about said sound „waiting a bit”, then knocked to stand getting up half step to get to the entrance one. 咚咚咚的敲门声响了起来,在打字机前忙碌着的阿德里安头也不抬的说了声“稍等”,然后噼里啪啦的将一段敲完了才站了起来快步走到了门口。 „What matter has, Miss Kate Beckinsale Miss?” Adrian ships out an appearance of accident. “有什么事吗,贝琴萨小姐？”阿德里安装出一副意外的模样。 „Your assistant, Mr. Hargis, because there is a matter, will ask me the tomorrow's arrangements as well as other things brings to you, hopes that you have looked and proposed after the opinion, took the past again.” Katherine raised hand the document, she wears spacious showing solicitude for and tight-fitting jeans, even if could not resist the youth aura under the slightly dim light.. “你的助理,哈吉斯先生,因为有事,拜托我将明天的安排以及一些其他的东西给你拿过来,希望你看过并提出意见之后再拿过去。”凯瑟琳扬了扬手中的文件,她穿着宽大的体恤和紧身牛仔裤,即使在略显昏暗的灯光下也抵挡不了青春的气息。。 „Good, come.” Hand signal that Adrian has made invitation, „what can drink?” “好吧,请进。”阿德里安做了个请的手势,“要喝点什么吗？” „Does not use, thanks.” Katherine's smiling face somewhat reluctantly, that look obviously was saying: Helps, if not need to revise made me take the past, I also had the matter. “不用,谢谢。”凯瑟琳的笑容有些勉强,那眼神明显是在说:帮帮忙,如果没有需要修改的就让我拿过去,我还有事呢。 „Good, please sit down a while.” Adrian has not spoken, achieved by the desk lamp to take up the document to look. “好吧,请坐一会儿。”阿德里安也没多说话,做到台灯旁边拿起文件看了起来。 To look at all around that sat down Katherine who is bored to death in the opposite, saw with own eyes that Adrian invested the document not to have any special expression, her attention shifted on these drafts on typewriter. 在对面坐下的凯瑟琳百无聊赖的看了看四周,眼见阿德里安投入到了文件当中没有什么特别的表示,她的注意力转移到了打字机上的那些稿子上面去了。 Carefully after looking at several lines, her facial expression becomes is astonished, naturally took the draft on table. The content of draft is the fragment of novel, is two different novels, may attract Katherine. 仔细看几行后她的神情变得讶异起来,自然而然的将桌上的稿子拿了起来。稿子的内容都是小说的片段,还是两篇不同的小说,可还是吸引住了凯瑟琳。 „What is the parent substance? Control! The parent substance is the dreamland world of computer operation, his establishment to control humanity. In order to turn into such thing the person!” Murphys was saying has held up a battery, in his sound is bringing ice-cold of one metal, pierced Andrew's heart easily. “什么是母体？控制！母体是电脑操纵的梦境世界,他的建立就是为了控制人类。以便将人变成这样的东西！”墨菲斯说着举起了一节电池,他的声音里带着一种金属的冰冷,轻而易举的刺穿了安德鲁的心扉。 „No, I do not believe that this is impossible!” Andrew held the head to yell. “不,我不信,这不可能！”安德鲁抱着脑袋大叫了起来。 „Yes, it is not very intelligible, Niaux, but the fact is so.” Saying that Murphys is relentless. “是的,它不是很易理解,尼奥,但事实就是如此。”墨菲斯毫不留情的说道。 „Let alone, has put me to exit, puts me to exit!” Niaux has shouted demented. “别说了,放我出去,放我出去！”尼奥癫狂的大喊了起来。 The flash, the surrounding scenery vanished completely, Andrew appears in that narrow and small cabin. His fierce has overshot from the chair, was shouting „do not come” staggers along to rush to the corner, then kneels on the ground several wants to vomit. 只是一瞬间,周围的景物全部消失了,安德鲁又出现在那狭小的舱室里面。他猛的从椅子上冲了起来,大喊着“别过来”的跌跌撞撞冲到角落里,然后跪在地上几欲呕吐。 „Feels what kind of?” The Adrian sound sound, Katherine got down jumped, hurries to place on the table the draft. “感觉怎么样？”阿德里安的声音响了起来,凯瑟琳下了一跳,赶紧将稿子放在了桌上。 „Do not be anxious,” sees she such childish movement, Adrian smiled, „I only want to know your view.” “别紧张,”看到她这样孩子气的动作,阿德里安不由笑了笑,“我只想知道你的看法。” Katherine observed his several seconds carefully, thought after does not crack a joke, coughs saying: „Um...... Is this your novel?” 凯瑟琳小心的观察了他几秒钟,觉得不是开玩笑后才干咳道:“嗯……这是你的小说？” „Yes, this is two science fictions.” Adrian nods, saw with own eyes that she somewhat is puzzled, simply took the draft to explain: „This novel about mourning corpse, the general content was to say some town of some biological company west US conducted the viral experiment, after viral divulging, infects the mourning corpse the normal person, the municipal government has sent out the special tactical squad to investigate, then has caused a series of accidents, this was the unit...... Is pursues the stimulation and reading pleasant sensation popular novel \; But this is also so, in comparison slightly somewhat will be serious, in the ai battery that the future people who will narrate will become oneself have designed, all day will immerse in the virtual world is unknown, but some people will always suspect all these, will then struggle from the virtual world, revelation world the truth of step by step!” “是的,这是两部科幻小说。”阿德里安点点头,眼见她还有些不解,干脆拿过稿子解释了起来:“这一部是关于丧尸的小说,大概内容是说某生物公司在美国西部的某个镇进行病毒试验,病毒泄漏后将正常人感染成了丧尸,市政府派出特殊战术小队进行调查,然后引发了一系列的事故,这是部……算是追求刺激和阅读快感的流行小说\;而这一部虽然也是如此,相比之下还是稍微有些严肃,讲述的在未来人们成了自己设计的ai的电池,整天沉浸在虚拟世界里不得而知,但是总有人会怀疑这一切,然后从虚拟世界挣扎出来,一步步的揭开世界的真相！”
