The development of film company
电影公司的发展Becausealthough the achievement of formercompanywent up, Adrianhas also carried onstrikingthroughFerntocertainpeople, but the youngsomepeoplewere always holding the mentalitycoming and going to work of drifting along. This is actually very normal, naturally, askingthemto packto leave is also very normal, the company that anywantedto developwill not allowto have the situation of thishaving more hands than needed.
虽然因为之前公司的业绩有所上升,阿德里安也通过拉弗恩对某些人进行过敲打,但始终有一小部分人抱着混日子的心态上下班。这其实很正常,当然,请他们打包走人也很正常,任何一家想要发展的公司都不会允许出现这种人浮于事的情况。Thenexpandseachdepartment, Adrianhas all givenFernthese, hehas only put forwardtworequests. Firstas soon as possiblesignsseveralquiteoutstandingscreenwriters, saidhonestlythatedits the departmentthatseveralscreenwritersalsoto arriveto helpto revise the level of adjustmentnow, butwhatAdrianneedisthattype the talented person who gives the idea and stipulationcanwrite the script.
接下来就是扩大各个部门了,阿德里安把这些全交给了拉弗恩,他只提了两个要求。第一个就是尽快签下几个比较出色的编剧,坦白的说,编审部门现在那几个编剧也就到帮忙修改调整的水平,而阿德里安需要的是那种给出构思和规定就能写出剧本的人才。Severalmovies that twomovies that heproducesnowas well asthenmustproduce, allscriptsareheare completed. Thisdid not have, the movie that maywith the lapse of time, probablyproducewill be only getting more and more, does the scriptmakehimwrite? That side the screenwritertrade unionhas stored more than tensynopses of play.
他现在制作的两部电影以及接下来要制作的几部电影,所有的剧本都是他自己一个人完成的。这本来也没有,可随着时间的推移,要制作的电影只会越来越多,难道剧本都让他一个人来写吗?编剧工会那边都已经存放了十多个剧本大纲了。Ferndid not have the opinionactually, Adriansold to the matter of thatseveralfilm companiesheto know that the script, ifedited the unit to have the screenwriterto helpthisbigbosscompile the scripts of severalsmallcosthighbox offices, the developmenttocompanywithout doubtwasveryhuge. Howeverregardinganotherrequest of Adrian, hewas puzzled.
拉弗恩倒是对此没意见,阿德里安将剧本卖给那几家电影公司的事情他都是知道的,如果编审部能有编剧帮这位大老板多编写几个小成本高票房的剧本的话,对公司的发展无疑是非常巨大的。不过对于阿德里安的另外一个要求,他就不解了。„Tenablesoap operaproduction unit?”In the Adrianoffice, Fern not clearasking, „why?”
“成立电视剧制作部门?”在阿德里安的办公室中,拉弗恩不明白的问道,“为什么?”„Naturallypreparedfor the manufacturesoap opera, Laver,”Adrianshrugged, „youthink that whatIwill make?”
“当然是为制作电视剧做准备了,拉弗,”阿德里安耸了耸肩,“你以为我会做什么?”„But...... Oursituationsjusthadto be goodto install, does not needsuchsharplycrosswiseto expand, Ide?” The Fern'stactfulremindersaidthathehas the opposing opinionobviously.
“可是……我们的情况才刚刚有所好装,不用这么急着横向扩展吧,艾德?”拉弗恩委婉的提醒道,他显然是持反对意见的。„Iknowyourworry, Laver, butdoes not needto be worriedthat”Adrianhas not felt unhappy, heknows that Laveris worried aboutanything, „Ihad not said that must establish the completedepartmentimmediately, had not said that must see the workimmediately. Ineedyouto set up the framefirst, recruiting the manpowerto carry onwearing, builds a quitespecializedteam, waits for the timeto arrivecanstartto manufacture. Itoyourenoughtimeandfund, naturally, thisdo not represent to spend freelyat will.”
“我知道你的顾虑,拉弗,不过不用担心,”阿德里安也没感到不快,他知道拉弗恩在担心什么,“我并没有说要马上就要建立起完整的部门,也没有说要立即就要见到作品。我需要你先搭起框架,招募人手进行磨合,打造一支比较专业的团队,等时间一到就能开始进行制作。我会给你足够的时间和资金,当然,这并不代表可以随意挥霍。”„Icanknow that whatmeaning the timedoes arriveis?”Fernthinks, returnsto say.
“我可以知道时间一到是什么意思吗?”拉弗恩想了想后回道。„Stillremembers that myhow manydaystothatmatter that youdid say? Mygoalandnot only onmanufacturemovie.”Adrianshows a faint smile, beforehismanydisclosedsome and matter of Chrowder'stenableentertainmentmediacompanytoFern, Fernis a smart person is also very able, after the film companydoesto be big, heis the ceoonly candidate.
“还记得我几天跟你说的那件事吗?我的目标并不仅仅只在制作电影上面。”阿德里安微微一笑,之前他多少透露了些和克劳德成立的娱乐传媒公司的事情给拉弗恩,拉弗恩是个聪明人也很有能力,电影公司做大之后他是ceo的不二人选。Fernshows the look that understands clearly: „Iunderstood, Ide, Iwill comply.”
拉弗恩露出了然的神色:“我明白了,艾德,我会照做的。”„Thatthis,”Adriannodded, has thought ofanything, „was right, canmakethemgive the television networkto mailto take a look that the method of beltpracticesto produce the soap opera, ifsettled onby the opposite party is really not the misdemeanor.”
“那就这样吧,”阿德里安点了点头,跟着又想到了什么,“对了,可以让他们给电视网邮寄试看带的方法来练习制作电视剧,如果真的被对方看中的话也不是什么坏事。”USmajortelevision networkfewinvestto make the soap opera, generallyis the film and televisionproduction companyinitiativemakes20to40minutes of imageto give the head of television network, if the opposite partythought that will havevaluebuyingto make the film and televisioncompanymanufacture a seasonto come outagainaccording to the contentarrangementbroadcastrunning schedule. Naturally, if the viewing ratiohas not been the proportion that theywantto be ablereducingwithout hesitation.
美国各大电视网很少有自己投资做电视剧的,一般都是影视制作公司先制作出20到40分钟的影像交给电视网的负责人,如果对方觉得有价值就会买下让影视公司制作一季出来再根据内容安排播放档期。当然,如果收视率没有达到他们想要的比例则会毫不犹豫的砍掉。Thereforewith the manufacturetook a look that the way of beltmakes the teamwearing inpractice might also as wellbe a method, meanwhilecanexercise the script of screenwriterbeautifulplayfrom5to6 people responsible fortakingthisopportunitygenerally, because is always oneweekbroadcastsonevolume, thereforesplendidbeautifulplayeachcollectionwill have the anticipation, oris the suspenseoris the comedy, in addition must act according to the opinionadjustmentplot of audience, thereforeto the screenwriterqualityis a verybigtest. If there is television networkto settle onto buy can also increase the corporate income, an artillerywill be luckyconsiderablywill also increase the companypopularity, thismatterwhy not?
所以用制作试看带的方式来让团队磨合练习也未尝不是一种方法,同时还可以借这个机会锻炼编剧美剧的剧本一般都由5到6个人负责,因为向来是一周播一集,所以出色的美剧每集都会有看点,或者是悬疑或者是搞笑,加上还要根据观众的意见调整剧情,所以对编剧素质是个很大的考验。而且如果有电视网看中买下还可以增加公司收入,一炮走红的话还会大大增加公司知名度,这种事情何乐而不为呢?„Iknew.”Fernnodded.
“我知道了。”拉弗恩点了点头。Adrianhereis handling the matter of film company, that sideChrowderhas not been idling, the acentertainmentmediacompanywas foundedquickly. Althoughthisnamereallyenoughawful, tooktheiropeningletter, butAdrianhas not haggled overanything, the name of companyis only a mark, not having the influence, the nameagainmake a big impressionalsouselessly.阿德里安这边处理着电影公司的事情,克劳德那边也没闲着,ac娱乐传媒公司很快就建立起来了。虽然这个名字实在有够糟糕,就取了两人的开头字母,但阿德里安并没有计较什么,公司的名字只是个符号而已,没有影响力,名字再让人印象深刻也没用。AlthoughAdrianhas entrusted withChrowderplenary powers of Corporation, does not mean that hewill not care about the development. Chrowderdoes not needhimto help, builtnot to say the companyquicklyinitially, but alsodugseveraltalented persongodfathersnot to be shortfromownfather'scompanyfor this reasonon the telephoneaccusesAdrianto complainthat said that they did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. After Adrianhear, smiles, heknows that the godfatheris only some are not willingly, generallyeachfatherhopes the soncaninherithismantle, buteachwisefatheralsoknows the sonneedseventuallyisfoundationownenterprise.
虽然阿德里安赋予了克劳德公司的全权,并不意味着他就不会关心发展。只是克劳德根本不需要他帮忙,很快将公司初步搭建起来不说,还从自己父亲的公司里挖来好几个人才教父为此没少在电话上指责阿德里安抱怨,说他们两个是不知天高地厚。阿德里安听后也只是笑笑,他知道教父只是有些不甘心而已,大凡每个父亲都会希望儿子能继承自己的衣钵,而每个明智的父亲也知道儿子需要的终究是开创属于自己的事业。Even if the young peoplerush to the vigorto be full, even ifChrowderabilityis outstanding, but something are notthatquicklycanbe solved, for example the purchasepublishes the company and broker. The formerfortunately, after waiting for the newmediacompanyto wear, looks foroneto operate not muchpublicationcompanyto negotiatedirectlyto be OK\;Howeverlatter, after the purchase, mustreorganizeaccording to the system of caaandtrains the manager, suchworkis notseveraldayscanbe completed.
即使年轻人闯劲十足,即使克劳德能力出众,可有些事情也不是那么快可以解决的,比如收购出版公司和经纪人公司。前者还好,等新的传媒公司磨合完毕之后直接找一家经营得不怎么样的出版公司进行谈判就可以了\;但是后者,收购之后还得按照caa的制度重新改组并对经纪人进行培训,这样的工作可不是几天就能完成的。Adrianonthiscannot help, can only doopened2 millioncheckstoDennis, thenmakeshimrestwell for a halfyear. Althoughweekendbox office of «Memento»secondweeknotlikepeople's desires, afterincreasing to more than 1000theatersNorth Americantotalbox office about 21 million, butthisdoes not mean that the box officewill slidein light of this.
在这上面阿德里安也帮不上什么忙,唯一能做的就是给丹尼斯开了张2000000的支票,然后让他好好休息半年。虽然《记忆碎片》第二周的周末票房不怎么如人意,在增加到1000多家影院后北美总票房才21000000左右,但这并不意味着票房会就此下滑到底。Because the «Memento»clue and detailare too many, wantingonetimecompletelyto understandis not an easymatter, RogerAlbertalsoacknowledgedthis. Thisindirectlyhas created the movieto the people the impression that is difficultto understand, thusaffected the box office. Butalsothese and storyhas the person who the periodclue and detailwill maketheselike unable to bearwatchesrepeatedly, thereforetobehindwill have leda group ofpeopleto enter the theater, therefore, believes that the «Memento»box office is not too farwith the «Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels»difference, isinstituteline may obtain the comparison.
因为《记忆碎片》的线索和细节太多,想要一次就全部看懂可不是件容易的事情,就连罗杰艾伯特也承认这点。这就间接的给人们造成了电影很难懂的印象,从而影响了票房。但也正是这些和故事有着紧密联系线索和细节会让那些喜欢的人忍不住反复观看,于是到了后面又会带动一批人进影院,所以,相信《记忆碎片》的票房不会和《两杆大烟枪》差太远,就是院线方面可能会分得比较多。ThereforeAdriangivesDennisoneis the previous4times of red package, even if the finalbox officedoes not haveanythingto relatenot much, Chrowdermaliciouslyhas gainedonein the petroleum futureforhim, moreoverthesefundsallhave not investedinto the newmediacompany, comesnot to needthese manytwoto comehimalso to temporarily the fundinvestintootherplace, for examplebuys inMicrosoftandvariousCiscoseveral millionstocks.
所以阿德里安还是给丹尼斯一个是上次4倍的红包,就算最后票房不怎么样也没什么关系,克劳德可是在石油期货中为他狠狠赚了一笔,而且这些资金也没有全部投入到新建立的传媒公司当中去,一来暂时不需要这么多二来他还要将资金投入到别的地方去,比如吸纳微软和思科各几百万的股票。Healsowantsto own stocks, although the stocks of thesetwocompanieslikejustdid not go on the marketand a cabbageprice, but the developmentraging tide of itindustryhas not approached, comparesthesebigcompanies is very still cheap. But the issueistheirpresentmarket valuesalso several millioncompanies, canswallow5 millionto be very goodrespectively. Howeverthishas not related, do not looknowonly thentrivial5 million, so long asdoes not have the accident8yearslaterwill riseover a hundredtimes.
本来他还想持股更多的,虽然这两家公司的股票不像刚上市那样和大白菜一个价格,但it业的发展狂潮还没有来临,相比那些大公司依然还很便宜。可问题在于它们现在的市值也都才几千万的公司,能各吃进5000000已经很不错了。不过这也没关系,别看现在只有区区5000000,只要不出意外8年之后将翻上上百倍。Good, the topicreturns to Dennis, because the brokersuddenly was unable the smooth operation, thereforeAdriansimplymakeshimrestthe first half of the year, opposite partyafterMay of last yearwithhehas been busytwomoviesonnearby the coordination, trulythiswellrelaxes. Let alone, the Adrianfollowingseveralmoviesdo not needhisparticipation.
好了,话题回到丹尼斯身上,因为经纪人公司一时间还无法顺利运作,所以阿德里安干脆的让他休息上半年,从去年5月份以来对方就跟前跟后的配合他忙着两部电影,也确实该好好放松一下。更何况,阿德里安接下来的几部电影不需要他的参与。SaidfranklythatAdrianwantsto arrange a roleforhimvery much, evenalsowantsto makehimcontinueto play the actor of belowmovie. Ifhecansurpass the standard the displayperforming skill, under the operationcanletstart the fame that gets upagainslightlyabsolutelyto bring it up a levelnow, thusadvances into an actor. Thismovierelates toexpansion of Adrianplan, does not presentanypossiblemistakepossibly, althoughDennisbecause in the performance of «Memento»bycontinuouslyhigh praise, but because extremelyalsohad been denounced youngbysomemovie critics, thereforeAdrianthinks it over to begin using„same group”troops.
坦率的说,阿德里安很想为他安排个角色,甚至还想让他继续出演下部电影的男主角。如果他能超水准的发挥演技的话,再稍微操作下绝对能让现在初步建立起来的名气更上一层楼,从而跻身一线演员。只是这部电影关系到阿德里安计划的展开,不容许出现任何可能的错误,丹尼斯虽然因为在《记忆碎片》的演出而受到一直的好评,可因为太过年轻也被部分影评人有所诟病,所以阿德里安想来想去只好启用“原班”人马。Indifferent, somearemovieallowshimto participatein any case, when the time comesselectsseveralgoodpointshas been OK, saidagainthatthistime is also to a hesmalltest. By officetallBeiyilooks that Adrian of ceilingsois thinking. Unknowingly his corners of the mouthhave curled upwards, because the reason of movie critichehas rememberedinCate of London. ComparestheseEuropeancritics in Berlin International Film Festival, UScertainmovie criticsmustbe slightly more unkindtoher, such as„just like the blockhead was the same” the words and expressionsis the quitegoodview, but also17-year-oldCatewill be unavoidably unhappy.
无所谓,反正有的是电影让他参与,到时候挑几个好点的就可以了,再说,这次也算是对他一个小小的考验吧。靠在办公室高背椅上看着天花板的阿德里安如此想着。不知不觉中他的嘴角翘了起来,因为影评人的缘故他想起了远在伦敦的凯特。相比柏林电影节上的那些欧洲评论家,美国某些影评人对她要稍微刻薄许多,诸如“宛如木头一样”的词语已经是相当好的说法了,还只有17岁的凯特难免会怏怏不乐。„Hi, dear, did youjustget out of bed?”DialedAdrian of telephoneto look at the time on wall.
“嗨,亲爱的,你刚刚起床吗?”拨通电话的阿德里安看了看墙壁上的时间。„Hey, Ide, how are you? Unexpectedlygavemeatthis time the telephone.”That side the telephonetransmitshits the softsound of yawn, Adrian can definitely , in the mindoutlinedCateto hold the quiltonlyto put onappearance of underpantslazycrawlingonbed.
“嘿,艾德,你好吗?居然在这个时候给我电话。”电话那边传来打着哈欠的软绵绵的声音,阿德里安完全能在脑海勾勒出凯特抱着被子只穿着底裤慵懒的爬在床上的模样。„BecauseIthinkyounow.”Adriansaidwith a smilethat„quarrelledyouto sleep?”
“因为我现在想你了。”阿德里安笑着说道,“吵到你睡觉了?”„Naturallydoes not have,”Catehas chortled, sighed: „Ifyoucanappearin the frontnoware good.”
“当然没有,”凯特咯咯笑了起来,跟着却叹了口气:“要是你现在能出现在面前就好了。”Isperceivedprobablylow in herexpression, shechanged the topicimmediately: „Was right, Imet a veryinterestingmatterin the schoolcouple days ago......”
大概是觉察到自己语气里的低落,她随即改变了话题:“对了,我前几天在学校里遇见了一件很有趣的事情……”Theysuchinchatting, as ifhave unable to saytopic that after for a long time, is reluctant to partto hang up the telephone. Then, Adriansaton the chairboth handsbuildsin the same placehad ponderedseveralseconds, the corners of the mouthhave raked out a happy expression.
两人就这么在聊开了,仿佛有着说不完的话题,许久之后才依依不舍挂上电话机。接下来,阿德里安坐在椅子上双手搭在一起思考了几秒钟,嘴角勾出了一丝笑意。In any case...... Onehave been restingrecently, that...... Hehas pressed downon the desk some button of telephone: „Ms.Jennison, subscribesformetroublesomeopensgoes to the airplane ticket of London, the quicker the better, thanks!”
反正……自己最近一直在休息,那么……他按下了办公桌上电话的某个按钮:“詹尼森女士,麻烦为我订张去伦敦的机票,越快越好,谢谢!”
