又一个圣诞节到来了,北美的电影市场也进入了竞争最为激烈的时刻,这个档期中最引人瞩目的电影,既不是票房下行的《美国队长》,也不是又一次掀起了魔法浪潮的《哈利波特与密室》,而是歌舞片《芝加哥》。Thisby the movie of Miramaxproduct, after«Moulin Rouge», once againdrove the temporaryrevival of musical film, 45 millionUS dollarsmovie-makingcosts, threeweekstradedto near100 millionUS dollarsNorth Americanbox offices, enabling the person who theseremembered past timesto havefeeling that returned to the so-calledgoldenage.
这部由米拉麦克斯出品的影片,继《红磨坊》之后,又一次带动了歌舞片的短暂复兴,四千五百万美元的制片成本,三周就换来了接近一亿美元的北美票房,使得那些怀旧的人有了种回到所谓的黄金年代的感觉。Ryanwill definitely not havethisfeeling, hetowhatgoldageand so onradicallynon-inductive.瑞恩肯定不会有这种感觉,他对什么黄金年代之类的根本无感。However, heaccepted the invitation of Harvey Weinstein, participatedcelebrates the partyinBeverly Hillsvillage«Chicago»in Four Seasons Hotel.
不过,他还是接受了哈维?韦恩斯坦的邀请,参加了在贝弗利山庄四季酒店举办的《芝加哥》庆祝派对。„Ryan, heard that youboughtthatgayscript.” The person of speechisHarvey Weinstein.
“瑞恩,听说你买下了那个男同性恋剧本。”说话的人是哈维?韦恩斯坦。Hestandsin the Ryanopposite, saidsomeamusing things in circle, the topicis changing tonaturallyspreadaboveverybroadscripttransactionrecently.
他站在瑞恩的对面,说着圈内的一些趣事,话题自然而然转到了最近流传很广的剧本交易上面。In the Hollywoodrange, thismatterhas no secret.
好莱坞范围内,这种事没什么秘密可言。„Right.”Ryannods, Katherine of distant place? ZeTower? Jonesis raising glasstoheredistantly, heresponded, thiscontinues saying that „1 millionUS dollars, buy outallcopyrights.”
“没错。”瑞恩点了点头,远处的凯瑟琳?泽塔?琼斯正对这边遥遥举杯,他回应了一下,这才继续说道,“一百万美元,买断所有的版权。”„Presentenvironment, althoughwas more loose, but......”
“现在的环境虽然宽松了一些,但是……”Touchedunder the cupwith the bigfatty, Ryansmiled, „is notnow, waitsagain for severalyears.”
跟大胖子碰了下杯,瑞恩笑了起来,“不是现在,再等几年。”
The presenthomosexualitymovementis getting more and more active, Harvey Weinsteinalsoknowsthis point, after nodding, changed the topic, „Ibought out that movie of copyrightto screeninChina, it is said the reputationwas notverygood, but the box officewas good.”
如今的同性恋运动越来越活跃,哈维?韦恩斯坦也知道这一点,点了点头后,换了话题,“我买断了版权的那部电影在中国上映了,据说口碑不是很好,不过票房却不错。”„Thesedo not needto care, so long asitcanbring the incomeforus......”
“这些都不用在乎,只要它能为我们带来收益……”At this point, somepeoplewalkto greet, in the hand that Ryanin the opposite partyextendsgrasped, „long time no see, Michael.”
说到这里,又有人走过来打招呼,瑞恩在对方伸过来的手上握了一下,“好久不见了,迈克尔。”„Yes, Ryan.”Michael? Douglassaidseveralflattery, „has not congratulatedyou, yourmoviesellsone after anothergreatly, the entireHollywoodis envyingyou.”
“是啊,瑞恩。”迈克尔?道格拉斯笑着说了几句恭维话,“还没有恭喜你呢,你的电影接连大卖,全好莱坞都在羡慕你呢。”„Isgood that the propaganda of Disneymakes.”
“是迪士尼的宣传做的好。”Polite, Ryanshookanotherhand that underhanded over, saidto the dark-haired woman who raised glassa moment ago,„MadameDouglas...... good, Kate, yourperformancein " Chicago » is good.”
客气了一句,瑞恩又握了下递过来的另一只手,对刚才举杯的黑发女人说道,“道格拉斯夫人……好吧,凯特,你在《芝加哥》中的演出非常棒。”„Thanks, Ryan.”Shesmilesexceptionallybrightly, „Iprepareto attack the Oscarbestsupporting actresswithher.”
“谢谢,瑞恩。”她笑得异常灿烂,“我准备用她来冲击奥斯卡最佳女配角呢。”„, Kate, are yougarnering votes?”
“哦,凯特,你这是在拉票吗?”Harvey WeinsteinandMichael? After Douglashas shaken hand, played a jokein a low voice.哈维?韦恩斯坦与迈克尔?道格拉斯握过手后,不禁低声开了句玩笑。
The surroundingseveralpeoplesmiled.
周围的几个人都笑了起来。Thissituationbasicallyis used for the human relations, nearby the surroundingpersondivergesgradually, waits was only left overthem the time, Harvey WeinsteinlookstoDouglas and his wife of going far away.
这种场合基本就是用来交际的,周围的人渐渐散去,等附近只剩下了他们两个人的时候,哈维?韦恩斯坦看向了远去的道格拉斯夫妇。„Veryintelligentsensiblewoman.”HesaidtoRyan.
“非常聪明懂事的女人。”他如此对瑞恩说道。„Comes toHollywood, canstand firmly......”Ryanto look atthat sideone, received the vision, „arrived at a positiongradually, will not definitely lack the mind.”
“来到好莱坞,能站住脚……”瑞恩看了那边一眼,就把目光收了回来,“又渐渐走到了一线的位置,肯定不会缺少头脑。”„Herrole, even ifreports the best actress, finished the nomination might be still big.”Harvey Weinsteinreturned, has takentwocups of sodasfromattendantthere, after handing overonecup , to continue saying that „wheresheknowsourgoals.”
“她的角色,就算是申报最佳女主角,获得提名的可能也很大。”哈维?韦恩斯坦转回了头来,从侍应生那里取过两杯苏打,递过来一杯后,继续说道,“她知道我们的目标在哪里。”Ryansmiles, did not haveto sayanything.瑞恩只是笑了笑,却没有在说什么。Katherine? ZeTower? Joneschoseto beMadameDouglas, but alsoatestubbornlythisestablisheddandy, theseprovedhermindsufficiently.凯瑟琳?泽塔?琼斯选择做了道格拉斯夫人,还将这个老牌花花公子吃得死死的,这些足以证明她的头脑了。„Taylor?” After the Harvey Weinsteinheadtransferredone, asked that „senttostarting, Inoticed that youledherto come intogether.”
“泰勒呢?”哈维?韦恩斯坦脑袋转了一圈后,问道,“派对开始的时候,我看到你带着她一起进来的。”„Shehasoneselfsmall group.”Ryanlooked that toplace that in the banquet hall the young girlgathered, cansee the golden hair of slimfigureandtunevolumeindistinctly, „leadsEmma? Watsonwent to the human relations, wantedto introducethiscircleherprobably.”
“她有自己的小圈子。”瑞恩看向了宴会厅中年轻女孩聚集的地方,隐约可以见到瘦高的身材和曲卷的金发,“带着艾玛?沃特森去交际了,大概想要将她介绍进这个圈子。”„Hadherrecommending, definitelyis not the issue.”
“有了她的引荐,肯定不是问题。”Harvey Weinsteinperson who followsto greetafteranother, said,„Igreeted the guest.”哈维?韦恩斯坦跟又一个走过来的人打了招呼后,说道,“我去招呼客人了。”Ryannods, arrives at the rest area, looked to be ableto seeTaylor'splace, satat a smalltable.瑞恩点了点头,走到休息区,找了个能看到泰勒的地方,坐在了一张小桌旁。By the Taylorthis lifeenvironment, the skilledinterpersonal skillsare the most basicquality, in factwithgrowing older, inunusualis splendid, when facingthese that inthis pointshedoesis not very closeperson, sheis a perfectvirtuous young woman.
以泰勒今世所处的环境,熟练的交际能力是最为基本的素质,实际上随着年龄的增大,在这一点上她做的非常出色,面对这些不是很亲密的人时,她就是个完美的淑女。LikeVictoria? Beckham is the same, without the intimatefriendintroduced,wantsto infiltrate the upper class of Hollywood is not easy, especiallylooks likeEmma? Watson'ssuchoutcomer.
如同维多利亚?贝克汉姆一样,如果没有亲近的朋友介绍,想要打入好莱坞的上流阶层并不容易,特别是像艾玛?沃特森这样的外来者。To put it bluntly, thisvanity fair , is not only wanton and luxurious living, but also is extremely snobbish.
说白了,这个名利场不但纸醉金迷,还极其势利。„Sits, Xueli.”
“坐,雪莉。”Looks at the Paramounthead, Ryanput out a handto hintunderoppositeseat, „heard that you were «Mission: Impossible3»selectnewDirector?”
看着走过来的派拉蒙负责人,瑞恩伸手示意了下对面的座位,“听说你们在为《碟中谍三》甄选新的导演?”„Yes.”
“是啊。”
After shesits down, waved to cometwocups of fruit juiceto the attendant, „replacedDirector to the choice, Paramountcould not undertake the failure that soinvestedgreatly.”
她坐下后,向侍应生招手要来了两杯果汁,“更换导演是必须的选择,派拉蒙承担不起如此大投资的失败。”Then, Xueli? Lansinglifts the cuptohere, „Ryan, toMGMinterested?”
说完,雪莉?兰辛向这边举了举杯子,“瑞恩,对米高梅有兴趣吗?”„MGM?” The Ryanknitting the browshead, understandshermeaning, „MGMdoes have the meaning of sell?”
“米高梅?”瑞恩皱了皱眉头,明白了她的意思,“米高梅有出售的意思吗?”„Almost, looked at the price.”
“差不多吧,就看价钱了。”IssawprobablyRyanis notunderstood, Xueli? Lansingexplainedsimply, John who „MGMinvests? Wu's«WindLanguage», 115 millionUS dollarsproduction costs, onlyattained40 millionUS dollarsbox office, have not sold out the peripheraltelevisionbroadcast and dvdcopyrightto the present, are countedover50 millionUS dollarspropagandareleaseexpenses, MGMthistimedefinitelymeet the huge loss.”
大概是看出瑞恩并不是非常了解,雪莉?兰辛简单的解释了下,“米高梅投资的约翰?吴的《风语者》,一亿一千五百万美元的制作成本,只拿到了四千万美元的票房,周边的电视播放和dvd版权到现在还没有卖掉,算上超过五千万美元的宣传发行费用,米高梅这次肯定会巨额亏损。”„Perhapseven, will file for bankruptcy protection.”Shealsosaid.
“甚至,说不定会就此申请破产保护。”她又说道。„Don't theyplanto start007again?”Ryanholds the chestsingle-handed, pinched the chin.
“难道他们不打算再一次启动007?”瑞恩单手抱胸,捏起了下巴。MGM is like DreamWorks, there is a unique skill of life-saving, thatis " 007 » series.
米高梅同梦工厂一样,也有救命的绝招,那就是《007》系列。„In additionJohn? WuDailaithehuge loss......”Xueli? Lansingunderstoodobviouslyvery muchcondition of MGM, „theirforeign loansreach as high as4 billionUS dollars.”
“加上约翰?吴带来的这次巨额亏损……”雪莉?兰辛显然很了解米高梅的状况,“他们的外债高达四十亿美元。”Roughlyconsideredseveralminutes, Ryanthrewopposite party'spropositionone side, since the 90'sstarting from, MGMwas the hotgoods, even if in tenyearsisso.
大致考虑了几分钟,瑞恩将对方的提议扔到了一边,从进入九十年代开始,米高梅就是烫手货,哪怕再过十年都是如此。Let alone, the purchasewordsalsomean that musttake overthathugeforeign loan.
何况,收购的话也意味着要接手那笔巨大的外债。„Shouldnot be " WindLanguage » failuremakesyougive upJohn? Wu?”Hechanged the topicsimply.
“该不会是《风语者》的失败让你们放弃了约翰?吴吧?”他干脆转了话题。„«WeOnceWereSoldier»have madeParamountloseare very big.”Xueli? Lansingsaidnaturally,„will not definitely take riskbegins usingoneto be defeatedDirector, the North Americanaudienceobviouslywas weary ofhisstyle.”
“《我们曾经是战士》已经让派拉蒙损失很大了。”雪莉?兰辛理所当然的说,“肯定不会冒险启用一个失败过的导演,北美观众明显厌倦了他的风格。”IssawprobablyRyandoes have no interestinMGM, Xueli? Lansingalsono longerproposed the topic, two peopletopicsmostlyregardingthis year'smovie.
大概是看出瑞恩对米高梅没有兴趣,雪莉?兰辛也不再提刚才的话题,两人的话题大多是围绕着今年的电影。This year the most deeply grievedbigmanufacture, isMGM«WindLanguage», pigeon? Wu'smovienot onlybox officedisastrous defeat, but alsoencountered the consistentwanton bombing of North AmericanMedia.
今年最惨痛的一部大制作,就是米高梅的《风语者》,白鸽?吴的这部电影不但票房惨败,而且遭到了北美媒体的一致狂轰滥炸。Most peopleattackedhimto manufacture«Field operationPlatoon» and «Saving Private Ryan»plotcombinationpiece, simplydid not haveownthing.
大部分人抨击他只是制作了一部《野战排》和《拯救大兵瑞恩》的情节混杂片,根本没有自己的东西。Suchattackis obviously overdone, butregardingDirectorfrom Hong Kong, oncesuffered the failureto havethissituation is too normal.
这样的抨击明显过火,但对于来自香港的导演来说,一旦遭遇失败出现这种情况太正常了。Ryanremembersindistinctly, after thismovie, is not long, hewas abandonedbyHollywoodthoroughly, wherewherewentback and forth.瑞恩隐约记得,这部电影之后没太久,他就彻底被好莱坞抛弃,从哪里来回了哪里去。Naturally, the opposite partydoes not have the value, hewill not cast the vision that pays attention toagain.
当然,对方已经没有了价值,他也不会再投去关注的目光。Hong Kongmovietide that recentlyin more than one year, Hollywoodoncecame in swarms, graduallytoendingtime, thesemoviestaffnumbersfrom Hong Kongreducedsuddenly, except forAlone? OutsideLi, Yuen Woo-pingand othersmall numbers of people, others cannot stand firmlyhere.
最近这一年多,好莱坞曾经蜂拥而来的香港电影潮,渐渐到了落幕的时候,那些来自香港的电影工作人员数量急剧减少,除了杰特?李、袁和平等少数人外,其他人在这里根本就站不住脚。Moreover the limitedthesepeople, the situationis not also good.
而且有限的这几个人,处境同样不好。
The Hong Kongmovie of Hong KongMediacrazyhypeconquersHollywood, from beginning to endstopsin the fantasy, theirdreams should also awake.
香港媒体疯狂炒作的香港电影征服好莱坞,从始至终就停在幻想当中,他们的梦也该醒了。Althoughtheirmoviesjustpresented the work of so-calledbailout, but the choicegoes northis the onlyoutlet.
他们的电影虽然刚刚出现了所谓救市之作,但选择北上才是唯一的出路。
The person in DisneyFar East Branchalsoreceived the notice of Ryan, personcontactwithHong KongHuanyafilm company, with the aim offirststartingto buy the copyright of thatmovie.
迪士尼远东分公司的人也接到了瑞恩的通知,正在跟香港寰亚影业的人接触,以便先下手买到那部电影的版权。Perhapsin the futurecanhand overto sell toMartin? Scorsese?
或许将来可以转手卖给马丁?斯科塞斯?Theseare not the things of Ryancare, the relatedthoughtflashes pastin the mind, after all the life of Hong Kongmoviedoes not haveonecentrelationswithhim.
这些都不是瑞恩关心的事情,相关的念头只是在脑海中一闪而过,毕竟香港电影的死活跟他没有一美分的关系。Actually, the Hong Kongmoviediedalsohas the advantage, at leastDisneywas short of a bigcompetitorinFar East.
其实,香港电影死掉也不是没有好处,最起码迪士尼在远东少了一大竞争对手。Hong Kong? Goes north? Ryanthinkssuddenlyby a matter that oneselfneglect, next yearwill be in 2003!
香港?北上?瑞恩忽然想到了被自己忽略掉的一件事,明年可是2003年!According to the plan, «Heath'sRevenge»will go toChinato select a scene, «Lord of the Rings3: Kingreturn»is discussingsame time the first showingwithshadow, theseare possibly suspended......
按照计划,《西斯的复仇》会去中国取景,《魔戒三:王者归来》正在跟中影谈同期首映,这些都可能被迫中断……Oppositegovernmentcould not affect, is not willing to dowiththem, iftheystilllooked like the previous generationto processlike that the viruswill definitely wreak havocagain.
对面的政府自己影响不了,也不愿与他们打交道,如果他们依然像前世那般处理,病毒肯定会再一次肆虐。Perhaps, canusesomesecretmethods, an advanced warningWorld Health Organization, iftheycanverify the intervention, eveninternationallysounds the warningpublicly, oppositewill not chooseto the publicis silent, earliertakes the effective measure, perhaps the virallarge surface areawill not eruptthoroughly.
或许,可以用些隐秘的手段,提前警告一下世界卫生组织,如果他们能查证干预,甚至在国际上公开发出警报,想必对面也不会选择对公众缄默,会更早的采取有效措施,说不定病毒不会大面积彻底爆发。Thinks ofhere, Ryantelephones, left the partydirectly, goes to the Disneyoffice buildingto look forworking overtimeGeorge, thismatteralsoonly thenhecanfeel relievedbyhimself.
想到这里,瑞恩打了个电话,直接离开了派对,去迪士尼办公大楼找加班的乔治,这种事也只有他才能让自己放心。HoldingWalt Disneyoneyear, besides the vetoextremelylimitedlosing moneyproject, Ryanhas not intervened the operation of Disney, hebringsmoreis the change in movie, as well asis centered on the movieperformance that obviouslydrives.
控股华特迪士尼一年了,除了否决极其有限的赔钱项目外,瑞恩并没有怎么干预过迪士尼的运转,他所带来的更多是电影方面的变化,以及以电影为中心显著拉动的业绩。To the maturemedia company, sells the moviegreatly, cantransformasmoreactualincomes, Jenkinsfilm company, isPixar Studio, orisMarvel Comics, mostdoes not lacksells the moviegreatly.
对于成熟的传媒公司来说,一部大卖电影,可以转化为更多实际的收益,无论是詹金斯影业,还是皮克斯工作室,亦或者是惊奇漫画,最不缺少的就是大卖电影。Butthrougha series ofmethods, Disneyhad been graspedbyhimfirmlyin the hand.
而通过一系列的手段,迪士尼已经被他牢牢握在了手中。This is also unusualoneyear, Ryanunder the encirclements of manybodyguard, crossed the Christmas, reduced the going outtimeas far as possible, terror attack that avoidspossiblybeing ableto present, the Nicolebest actresspublic relations, gave the followingteamto operatecompletely.
这也是不同寻常的一年,瑞恩在众多保镖的环绕下,渡过了圣诞节,又尽量缩减了外出时间,以避免可能会出现的恐怖袭击,就连妮可的最佳女主角公关,都完全交给了下面的团队来运作。Clue that the terror attackhas not presented that the Al-Qaida of dead endis more likeblusters, Ryanwill not be negligent, after allthatis the groupout-and-outlunatic, howeventheirAllahwill not perhaps be fully correctthemto do. rs
恐怖袭击并没有出现的端倪,穷途末路的基地组织更像是虚张声势,瑞恩却不会大意,毕竟那是群不折不扣的疯子,连他们的真主恐怕也猜不透他们会怎么做。rsS
