The third chapter 第三章 First() 第一步() Although somebody sets has been possible be called „great” the goal for oneself, the words that but must make are not easy. Man who since old times can attract the woman, did not have money is to have the power and influence or the two all has. 虽然某人为自己定下了堪称“伟大”的目标,但是要做起来的话却并不容易。自古能吸引女人的男人,不是拥有金钱就是拥有权势或者二者皆有。 Thinks to look, if Adrian can control Hollywood, and whom wants to hold becomes the big star can make whom the big star, how these once made the stars who he admires possibly( not throw) bosom( to deliver) hug. Only depends on him that several million net worth is absolutely is now insufficient, therefore the behavior of circle money is imperative. 想想看,如果阿德里安能掌控好莱坞,并且想捧谁成为大明星就能让谁成为大明星的话,那些曾让他心仪的女星们怎么可能不(投)怀(送)抱。只是仅凭他现在那几百万的身家是绝对不够用的,因此圈钱的行为势在必行。 How if trades to be the average person naturally to encircle money worries, may regarding this rebirth actually be the relatively simple matter. Novel that Bai Qianshi reads online bestows, he really has also taken down the method of many circle money. For example before asked Chrowder to help to cook up Japanese Yen. 如果换做普通人当然会为如何圈钱而发愁,可对于他这种重生者来说却是相对简单的事情。拜前世在网上看的小说所赐,他还真记下了不少圈钱的方法。比如之前拜托克劳德帮忙炒日元。 Knows to turn over to know that must do not to be easy. The previous generation he is a young director, has enough opinion at the movie, but must not understand in finance side actually anything, although these making money ways through checking the material can find many relevant information in the network, but wants to utilize the actual operation not to be impossible. 只是知道归知道,要做起来却并不容易。前世他不过是个小导演,在电影上是有足够的见解,可要在金融方面却什么都不懂,那些赚钱方式虽然在网络上通过查资料能找到不少相关信息,但想要运用到实际操作上来根本不可能。 Therefore he wants taking advantage of the words of this opportunity circle money, then the side must need one to be able in the finance side to help his person. 因此他想要借这个机会圈钱的话,那么身边必须需要一个能在金融方面帮到他的人。 Although around each playboys one crowd of packs of scoundrels, the friend but who also many that types can open heart, for example by Crowe Derohan Reese who Adrian convinced. They two relations are quite close, particularly their fathers are not only the same graduates of Harvard, when the fraternity also has a tacit pair of partner, simultaneously opposite party child's godfather. After the Adrian parents died, Mr. and Mrs. Rowen Reese also helped Adrian be many. 虽然每个纨绔子弟周围都有一群狐朋狗友,但也不乏那种可以交心的朋友,比如被阿德里安说服的克劳德罗恩里斯。他们两家的关系相当密切,尤其是两人的父亲不仅是哈佛的同一届毕业生,在兄弟会的时候也是非常具有默契的一对搭档,同时还是对方孩子的教父。阿德里安父母遇难后,罗恩里斯夫妇也帮了阿德里安不少忙。 If must in Chinese describe that Adrian and Chrowder, sends small or puts on the friend of split-seat pants is the most appropriate adjective. In brief, these two people together make trouble from infancy to maturity bully others to pick up the woman together, even if after Chrowder graduates, was called back the company to help by the father, still will pull out the time and Adrian gets together once for a while. But after the Adrian parents died, once had accompanied side him for a long time, finding the way to make him come out of the difficult position. 如果要用中文来形容阿德里安和克劳德的话,发小或者穿开裆裤的朋友是最贴切的形容词。总之,这两个人从小到大都一起捣蛋一起欺负别人一起泡女人,即使克劳德毕业后被父亲叫回公司去帮忙,依然会抽时间和阿德里安时不时聚会。而阿德里安父母遇难后也曾在他身边陪伴了许久,想办法让他走出困境。 Although before present Adrian is not that playboys, may inherit original that Adrian all sentiment and memory he has the type natural warm feelings to Chrowder. Moreover according to the beforehand memory, this fellow's talent in commercial is not the general splendor, therefore Adrian has first thought of him. 虽然现在的阿德里安已经不是以前的那个纨绔子弟了,可继承了原来那个阿德里安所有感情和记忆的他对克劳德还是有种类天然的亲切感的。而且根据以前的记忆,这个家伙在商业方面的天赋可不是一般的出色,所以阿德里安第一时间想到了他。 To convince Chrowder made him take too many talking, was useful 6 million US dollars are not fortunately many according to the Assassin's mace of memory formulation, but can make him display oneself ability the opportunity to be few heartily, moreover Adrian also said that even if screwed up him not to have anything to lose. In addition the opposite party is he plays the big friend since childhood, has handled finally the first step. 只是为了说服克劳德让他费了太多的口舌,还好根据记忆制定的杀手锏还是有用的6000000美元不算多,但能让他尽情展现自己能力的机会却很少,而且阿德里安也说了,就算搞砸了他也没什么什么损失。加上对方还是他从小玩到大的朋友,总算是搞定了第一步。 However on the other hand, Chrowder, if simple agreed that bewildered the plan that almost it can be said that is full of loopholes perhaps, that Adrian wants under the careful consideration he to have other thoughts. 不过话又说回来,克劳德要是简简单单就同意那莫名其妙的几乎可以说是漏洞百出的计划,那阿德里安恐怕要仔细考虑下他是不是有别的心思。 „Since went out the first step, then second step should also hurry to step is.” After handling the most essential opening, returning to Adrian of villa to be busy rapidly. “既然走出了第一步,那么第二步也应该赶紧迈出去才是。”在搞定了最为关键的开局后,回到别墅的阿德里安迅速忙了起来。 From February 1990 to May 1990, entire three months in he basically stays in the middle of the villa, except for going to the inferior screenwriter trade union as well as the chart floating astronomy did not have the portal not to have the convenience quick search engine. 从1990年2月到1990年5月,整整三个月的时间里他基本上都呆在别墅当中,除了去了次编剧公会以及图飘天文学更没有门户网站没有方便快捷的搜索引擎。 This made Adrian have to prepare the massive books and dictionaries, spent at least one week of time to study the use typewriter, then started the work of transcription script. 这让阿德里安不得不准备了大量的书籍和词典,又花了至少一周的时间来学习和熟悉使用打字机,然后才开始了抄写剧本的工作。 Second step naturally enters Hollywood to establish own influence with the movie, although he and cinema world least bit relations do not have, how may already set Adrian of goal to be able not to plan, starts from the screenwriter without doubt is simplest. 第二步自然是进入好莱坞用电影来建立自己的影响力,虽然他和电影圈半点关系也没有,可早已定下目标的阿德里安怎么会没有计划,从编剧入手无疑是最简单的。 If most starts to set own goal also some indefinite feelings, when he starts to recall to lift heavy objects carefully read before one's death once has analyzed these scripts had the astonishing discovery the time, so long as spending is long enough, he basically can had read the script complete turns, moreover very clear. 如果说最开始定下自己的目标还有些不确定的感觉的话,当他开始仔细回忆起重生前曾阅读过分析过的那些剧本时却有了惊人的发现只要花的时间足够长,他基本上能将曾经读过的剧本完整的翻出来,而且非常的清晰。 This perhaps after his rebirth the memory fusion reorganization is related, who knows? But the gift of this God lets the chip in his hand without doubt even more enough. Since therefore these three months his one breath stay up till dawn has at least completed six complete scripts, meanwhile has the programs of ten scripts, then following...... 这或许和他重生后记忆融合重组有关,谁知道呢？但这份上帝的礼物无疑让他手中的筹码越发的足够。所以这三个月以来他日夜不停的一口气至少完成了六个完整的剧本,同时还有十个剧本的大纲,那么接下来…… After Bertrand Ewen stops the car(riage), carefully observed under all around, after the determination is here, muttered in a low voice the sentence walks toward the goal villa immediately. Puts out a hand according to making a sound din-dong the doorbell, several minutes later the gate will be hit to come, a look average middle-aged woman appears, in the front had the doubts to take a look under him: „Whom do you look for?” 伯特兰厄温停好车后仔细观察了下四周,确定是这里后低声咕哝了句随即向目标别墅走去。伸手按响叮咚的门铃,过了几分钟门被咔嚓打了来开来,一位相貌平平的中年妇女出现在面前带着疑惑打量了下他:“请问你找谁？” „Does Adrian Cauville mister live here? I am global film company Bertrand Ewen of editing unit, we have an appointment.” Asking of Bertrand politeness, cannot bear continue to mutter at heart. Lives in such villa actually to write the script for the film company, present rich man already bored to this degree? “请问阿德里安科威尔先生住这里吗？我是环球电影公司的编审部的伯特兰厄温,我们有个约会。”伯特兰礼貌的问道,心里忍不住继续咕哝起来。住着这样的别墅却为电影公司写剧本,现在的有钱人已经无聊到这种程度了吗？ „Please enter, Mr. Adrian waited for you to be very long.” The women showed being suddenly enlighted expression to let. “请进,阿德里安先生已经等你们很久了。”妇女露出个恍然大悟的表情让了开来。 Bertrand nodded toward in walks, simultaneously at heart some doubts, probably what that „you” she use is plural number „you”, what's all this about? 伯特兰点了点头往里走去,同时心里有些疑惑,那个“你”她好像用的是复数“你们”,这是怎么回事？ He understood quickly, four men who because in the living room in villa sits have three him to know, Warner, Fox as well as the colleagues of Disney three film companies. 他很快就明白了过来,因为别墅的客厅里坐着的四个男人有三个他都认识,华纳、福克斯以及迪斯尼三家电影公司的同行。 What's wrong, does this Cauville mister want to wait for a better price? This is the Bertrand's first thought that but has thrown immediately. Although the opposite party looks like very young, may likely not be the person of being short of money. 怎么,这位科威尔先生想要待价而沽？这是伯特兰的第一个念头,不过随即就抛了出去。虽然对方看起来很年轻,可怎么也不像是缺钱的人。 Has not waited for him to find out a reason why to come, of Disney editing unit the assistant who called Billy Edie raised hand to call grinningly: „Hey, on you, Bertrand, came quickly.” 没等他想出个所以然来,迪斯尼编审部的那位叫比利伊迪的助理已经举手笑嘻嘻的招呼了起来:“嘿,就等你了,伯特兰,快过来吧。” Was saying also has exchanged a look with the two, three person shrugging of as if by prior agreement, making Bertrand be confused. On I? What meaning? 说着还和其他两人交换了个眼神,三个人不约而同的耸耸肩,让伯特兰一头雾水。就等我了？什么意思？ „Can explain, Cauville mister?” In does after that young people introduced oneself, sits on sofa Bertrand like this asks, „I think that you should simultaneously make us to come today?” “可以解释一下吗,科威尔先生？”在和那个年轻人做了自我介绍后,坐在沙发上的伯特兰这样问道,“我想你应该是同时约我们今天过来吧？” „, Naturally,” young people have smiled, „is this, I sprout up the fantasy these days has written several scripts, wants to have a look to make money, therefore mails to company, then everybody asked me to discuss.” “哦,当然,”年轻人笑了起来,“是这样,我这段时间突发奇想的写了几个剧本,想看看能不能赚些钱,于是寄到各位的公司,然后各位就过来找我商谈了。” „Several...... Several scripts?!” Bertrand is somewhat dumbfounded, the subconsciousness has turned the head to look that travels together to three, they three shrugging as if by prior agreement, take „you understood” the expression once more. “几……几个剧本？！”伯特兰有些目瞪口呆,下意识转过头看向三位同行,他们三个再次不约而同的耸耸肩,带上了一副“你明白了吧”的表情。 Bertrand thought suddenly his head some are insufficient, is very obvious, the meaning of this Adrian Cauville mister is, he gave several big companies simultaneously respectively to send the different screenplays, but several big companies also immediately sent for contacting to want with him to buy the script! 伯特兰忽然觉得自己的脑袋有些不够用了,很显然,这位阿德里安科威尔先生的意思是,他给几个大公司同时分别寄去了不同的电影剧本,而几家大公司也随即派人和他接触想要买下剧本！ Cracks a joke, even if the Hollywood top screenwriters is impossible simultaneously to make several big companies satisfy, only if were writes very much long time ago. Billy but who formerly comes they several manner, this truly should be the opposite party wrote recently. This...... Too inconceivable. 开什么玩笑,就算是好莱坞顶尖的编剧也不可能同时让几家大公司都满意,除非是很早就写好了的。可是从先来的比利他们几个的态度来看,这确实应该是对方最近写的。这……太不可思议了。 Bertrand has read the script, this is called «10 Things I Hate About You» is very relaxed campus comedy story, although somewhat promotes the plot the technique comparison hackneyed stuff to be possible the whole quite to be interesting. In the US, most does not use the movie that is worried about to lose money except for the romantic drama is the youth campus play, so long as the script looks for the directors as well as several youth pretty actors who a head has not entered the water splendidly again, the movie box office will not be generally bad, sometimes even also greatly will gain. 伯特兰是看过剧本的,这个叫做《我恨你的十件事》是个非常轻松的校园喜剧故事,虽然有些推动剧情的手法比较老套可整体却相当有意思。在美国,最不用担心亏本的电影除了浪漫爱情剧就是青春校园剧,只要剧本出色再选个脑袋没有进水的导演以及几个青春靓丽的演员,电影票房一般都不会很差,有时候甚至还会大赚。 For this reason, edited the managers of unit once to urge him while letting him came, took this script as far as possible. 正因如此,编审部的经理在让他过来的同时曾叮嘱他,尽量拿下这个剧本。 „This is too astonishing, Cauville mister,” Bertrand recovers immediately, glanced Sequerra Jephson and Fox's of Bani Jacklin Billy as well as Warner, „to be honest, your this narrated that the story of campus youth is very splendid.” “这太让人吃惊,科威尔先生,”伯特兰顿时回过神来,跟着瞟了眼比利以及华纳的塞克拉杰夫森和福克斯的巴尼杰克林,“老实说,你这个讲述校园青春的故事很出色。” That three micro cannot be observed shook the head in turn, Bertrand again was startled, aren't these four scripts unexpectedly the similar stories? This also...... Too exaggerated. 那三位微不可察的依次摇了摇头,伯特兰不由再吃了一惊,这四个剧本居然都不是同类型的故事？这也……太夸张了点吧。 However he restrained his mood immediately, has executed a look to that three people, slight bow of Billy they understood clearly immediately. Since Cauville mister chooses simultaneously and several companies negotiates, then they must have must collaborate to carry on some suppressions in the price, this situation is very normal, let alone the opposite party is a new person. 不过他随即克制住了自己的情绪,对那三人施了个眼神,比利他们随即了然的微微点了点头。既然科威尔先生选择同时和几家公司谈判的话,那么他们少不得要联手在价格上进行一些压制,这种情况很正常,更何况对方还是个新人。 Although the opposite party has given the different company different scripts, moreover seems like not short of money to spend, perhaps could not reduce many, but can press for one point is a point. 虽然对方给了不同公司不同的剧本,而且看起来又不缺钱花,恐怕压低不了多少,但能压一分是一分。 „Thank your praise, Mr. Ewen,” Adrian on sofa smiled was saying that „we entered the subject.” “感谢你的夸奖,厄温先生,”沙发上的阿德里安微笑着说道,“我们还是进入正题吧。” „Naturally,” after has been exchanging the look rapidly, Bertrand took the lead the tone, „, although your script was very splendid, may after all you be the new person, moreover was not the professional screenwriter, therefore I most can only pay 35,000 US dollars.” “当然,”在迅速交换了眼神后,伯特兰率先开了口气,“虽然你的剧本很出色,可毕竟你是新人而且也不是职业编剧,所以我最多只能出35000美元。” Nearby Billy has pulled out the corners of the mouth, but immediately echoes with Sequerra as well as Fox of Bani Warner was saying: „Yes, Cauville mister, this price is very fair.” 旁边的比利不由抽了抽嘴角,但随即和华纳的塞克拉以及福克斯巴尼附和着说道:“是的,科威尔先生,这个价格很公平。” „Right?” Front Adrian brow wrinkled slightly, „seemed too low.” “是吗？”面前的阿德里安眉头微微皱了下,“似乎太低了点。” However he has shown immediately smile: „Has not related, this.” 不过他马上又露出了微笑:“没关系,就这样吧。” Four people were shocked, particularly Bertrand, reason that presses most to accept a lower status the price from the beginning to facilitate following bargaining. Has not thought that the opposite party has readily agreed unexpectedly, he wants to make anything. 四个人不由愣住了,尤其是伯特兰,之所以一开始就把价格压到最低就是为了方便接下来的讨价还价。没想到对方居然一口答应了下来,他想做什么。 Adrian revealed the truth immediately, he has placed on two folders the tea table: „Was right, if convenient, please help me have a look at these two scripts to be what kind of?” 阿德里安随即揭开了谜底,他将两个文件夹放在了茶几上:“对了,如果方便的话,请帮我看看这两个剧本怎么样？”
