《重返十七岁》的试片会很成功,不论是二十世纪福克斯的高层,还是院线商代表,一致看好这部青春校园喜剧。感恩-圣诞档期间,如果艾瑞克没有出现的话,二十世纪福克斯本来只在12月23日圣诞节期间,发行一部哈里森・福特和西格妮・韦弗两位巨星参演的喜剧《打工女郎》。Nowhad«17 Again», in November of issuance plan the Thanksgivingrunning schedulejusthad not been filledbythismovie. After the discussion, the «17 Again»determinationscreened on November18, Ericwas very satisfiedtothisshow time, sawin the movierunning schedulematerial that from20th Century Foxthere, Ericdiscoveredentire in November, memory the movie in highBox Officedid not have, simplyentered the villageto customizefor«17 Again»quietly. Butinmovie that in Decembershows, previous lifecrushed into 1988merely the North AmericaBox Officelistfirsttenhad《Rain Man》, 《Twins》and«The Naked Gun»three.
现在有了《重返十七岁》,原本并没有发行计划的11月感恩节档期也刚好由这部电影填充。经过讨论,《重返十七岁》确定在11月18日上映,艾瑞克对这个上映时间很满意,从二十世纪福克斯那里看到的电影档期资料里,艾瑞克发现整个十一月,一部记忆里的高票房的电影都没有,简直就是为《重返十七岁》悄悄进村量身定做的。而十二月上映的电影里,仅仅前世挤进1988年北美票房榜前十的就有《雨人》、《龙兄鼠弟》和《白头神探》三部。Toward noon, James before BrooksleadsEricto arriveone over 40years old to wear the middle-agedperson of eye, finally. Thisis the 20th Century Foxissue departmentis in charge ofCarterHunt, introducedmutually, JamesBrooksleftthem the space, althoughheis now goodto the Ericsense, buttheyare neither relative nor kinafter all, hewill not waste the favorto help the Ericsmallcostmoviesay.
临近中午,詹姆斯・布鲁克斯终于领着艾瑞克来到一个40多岁戴着眼睛的中年人身前。这是二十世纪福克斯的发行部主管卡尔塔・亨特,相互介绍了一下,詹姆斯・布鲁克斯就将空间留给了两人,他虽然现在对艾瑞克感官不错,但毕竟两人非亲非故,他不会浪费人情帮艾瑞克的小成本电影说项。„Hello, Mr.Carter.”EricandCartershook hand, the opposite partyalsovery muchpolitelypraisedperforming skill of Ericin«17 Again».
“你好,卡尔塔先生。”艾瑞克与卡尔塔握了握手,对方也很客气地夸奖了一句艾瑞克在《重返十七岁》里的演技。However, afterEricexplainedownintention, Carterwantsnot to refuse saying: „Sorry, Eric, the companythis year'sissuance planhas filled, is impossibleto fill a smallcostmovieagaintemporarily, thereforeI can only be sorry.”
不过,在艾瑞克说明了自己的意图之后,卡尔塔想都没想就拒绝道:“对不起,艾瑞克,公司今年的发行计划已经满了,不可能再临时塞进来一部小成本电影,所以我只能抱歉了。”
The reason of thisshirkingis very forced, if Spielbergrecommendsownmovie, it is estimated thatCarterHuntweeps and wailsto throwto hold the thighdirectly.
这种推脱的理由很牵强,如果是斯皮尔伯格推荐自己的电影,估计卡尔塔・亨特直接就哭着喊着扑上去抱大腿了。AlthoughCarterrejectionsimple of , butEricstrugglesvia: „Mr.Carter, can wehave a look atmymovieto sayfirstagainthatIjusthave brought the copy, youonlyneedto spend for onehourto look, Ipledged that thisis a verygoodmovie.”
虽然卡尔塔拒绝的很干脆,不过艾瑞克还是争取道:“卡尔塔先生,我们能不能先看看我的电影再说,我刚好把拷贝带来了,你只需要花一个多小时看一下,我发誓这是一部很棒的电影。”Cartershook the headonce more, sells the small company of oneselfmovietohim is almost theseexcuses, especiallyis recent, becauseclose to the popularrunning schedule, does not haveFilm Studio of distribution circuitto do everything possibleto the movie that hesells himselfto produce, hehas also looked atseveralconcerned aboutsomefavors, basicallydoes not havemanycommercial values, thereforeimpossibleto waste the timein a smallcostcomedy of 18 -year-old youthnow: „Eric, youknowthatmypresentworkis very busy, immediately must arrange the «17 Again»distribution, in the afternoon must go toHeadquartersto meet, therefore, can only be sorry.”卡尔塔再次摇了摇头,很多向他推销自己电影的小公司几乎都是这些说辞,特别是最近,因为临近热门档期,很多没有自己发行渠道的电影公司都想方设法向他推销自己制作的电影,他也碍于一些人情看过几部,基本上都没有多少商业价值,所以现在更不可能在一个18岁少年的小成本喜剧上浪费时间:“艾瑞克,你知道,我现在的工作很忙,马上还要安排《重返十七岁》发行工作,下午还要去总部开会,所以,只能抱歉了。”Person who Ericis not easyto give up, was thick the facial skinto requestseveral, Carterdid not find an excuseto turn aroundto leavefinallypatiently.艾瑞克并不是那么容易放弃的人,厚着脸皮请求了几句,卡尔塔终于不耐烦地找了个借口转身离开。„Eric, is the resultwhat kind of?”Incrowd that returns to itselfto know, PennyMarshallasked.
“艾瑞克,结果怎么样?”回到自己认识的人群中,潘妮・马歇尔问道。Ericis smiling bitterlyshaking the head, Penny the Marshallcomfortpatted the shoulder of Eric saying: „Do not be discouraged, Eric. The moviereleasealsoneeds the cost, the announcementcosts of manymovieare even higher than the movie-makingcost, onceBox Officeis not ideal, the headneedsto shoulder the responsibility, thereforeyoushouldunderstandCarter. Youproducedyourmovie to spenda lot ofmoney, whenhas been busy atthese days, Icanhelpyouintroduce that recording tapeissuing company, after «17 Again»screened, byyourfame, distributed the recording tapesomewhat to recoupsomefundsdirectly. MoreoverIthought that youshouldtakeenergyto useonscreenwriterandActor, yourtalentis good, walksconscientiously, wouldoneas.”艾瑞克苦笑着摇了摇头,潘妮・马歇尔安慰地拍了拍艾瑞克的肩膀道:“别灰心,艾瑞克。电影发行也是需要成本的,很多电影的宣发成本甚至比制片成本还要高,一旦票房不理想,负责人是需要承担责任的,所以你应该理解卡尔塔。你制作自己的电影应该花了不少钱吧,等忙过了这段时间,我可以帮你介绍家录像带发行公司,《重返十七岁》上映后,以你的名气,直接发行录像带多多少少能收回一些资金。而且我觉得你应该把精力多用在编剧和演员上,你的天赋不错,脚踏实地走下去,总会有一番作为的。”„Thank you, Penny.”Ericexpressed gratitude, actuallysomeslightlysendat heartpainstakingly, everybodyas ifhas regarded the experimental film of oneselfthisnew military recruits«Home Alone», hewantsto tie upthose presentreallycompletelyon the seat, forcefullyputs«Home Alone». What a pitythisthoughtoperatesto needGodheto help.
“谢谢你,潘妮。”艾瑞克道了声谢,心里却有些微微发苦,大家似乎都把《小鬼当家》当成了自己这个菜鸟的实验电影了,他真想将在场的人全部绑在座位上,强行把《小鬼当家》放一遍。可惜这个念头操作起来需要上帝他老人家帮忙。Somewhatdepressedwent home, since20th Century Foxherehas been hopeless, then can only attempttootherFilm Studio.
有些沮丧地回到家,既然二十世纪福克斯这里已经没戏了,那么只能向其他电影公司尝试一下。Rolling up of Anistonkittyin the living roomsofa, watches the BBCsoap operabored, seesEricto open the door, searches the smallheadto ask: „Eric, is the situationwhat kind of?”安妮斯顿猫咪似的蜷缩在客厅沙发里,无聊地看着BBC的肥皂剧,见到艾瑞克开门进来,探着小脑袋问道:“艾瑞克,情况怎么样?”Ericwalksto hold the bosomAniston, strokes gentlyherback saying: „20th Century Foxhas rejected, buthas not related, Iwill tryotherFilm Studio.”艾瑞克走过来将安妮斯顿抱进怀里,摩挲着她的后背道:“二十世纪福克斯拒绝了,不过没关系,我会尝试一下其他电影公司。”Anistonfelt that in the Ericexpressionis bringinglightdejected, grasps the waist of boyfriendto lift the elegantfacecomfort saying: „Has not related, Eric, «Home Alone»is so splendid, theyrejecteddefinitelyaretheirlosses, Ibelieve after and other«Home Alone»screened, theywill certainly regrettoday'sactions.”安妮斯顿感觉到艾瑞克语气里带着淡淡的颓然,抱住男友的腰抬起俏脸安慰道:“没关系,艾瑞克,《小鬼当家》那么出色,他们拒绝了肯定是他们的损失,我相信等《小鬼当家》上映之后,他们一定会后悔今天的所作所为的。”„Oh, the treasure, yourwordsmay the reallywarmheart.”Erichas pinched the Aniston’scheek.
“哦,宝贝,你的话可真暖心。”艾瑞克捏了捏安妮斯顿的脸蛋。Theykissedunrestrainedlyinone, after a while, the ringtonehas rung, after several, Ericpushedto resistinAnistonnot to would ratherlet loose the girl.
两人情不自禁地吻在了一起,过了一会儿,电话铃声响了起来,好几声之后,艾瑞克才在安妮斯顿地推攘下不情愿放开女孩。„Hello, hereisWilliams.”
“喂,这里是威廉姆斯家。”„......”
“……”„Does Jeffrey, hello, whatmatterhave?”
“杰弗里,你好,有什么事情吗?”„......”
“……”Ericis hearing the sound in telephone, suddenlyhas shouldered the eyebrow, Anistonknows that thisis the boyfriendwas happy when has the movement that has collectedcuriously, buthas not actually heard clearlyJeffreyHanssontelephonesaidanything.艾瑞克听着电话里的声音,突然挑起了眉毛,安妮斯顿知道这是男友高兴时才有的动作,好奇地凑了过来,不过却没有听清杰弗里・汉森电话里说什么。Ericnodsto echoseveral, has made the telephone call, huggedAnistonin the bosomtransferredseveral.艾瑞克点着头附和了几句,挂了电话,一把将安妮斯顿搂在怀里转了几圈。„Hehe, Eric, Iwas a little dizzy, putsmeto get downquickly, iswhatgoodnews?”
“呵呵,艾瑞克,我有点晕了,快放我下来,是什么好消息啊?”EricreturnsonAniston the sofa, said: „Jeffreyjustbumps into a ColumbiaFilm Studiofriendin the morning, mentioned«Home Alone», hisfriendis interestedinthismovievery much. Jeffrey said that ifIhave not signed the agreementwith20th Century Fox, cantake awayto try.”艾瑞克将安妮斯顿放回沙发上,道:“杰弗里上午刚好碰到哥伦比亚电影公司的一个朋友,说起了《小鬼当家》,他那位朋友对这部电影很感兴趣。杰弗里说如果我没有跟二十世纪福克斯签下协议的话,可以拿去试试。”„ColumbiaFilm Studio? Wasthat......”Anistonhas made a freeStatue of Libertyposture.
“哥伦比亚电影公司?就是那个……”安妮斯顿做了一个自由女神像的姿势。„Right, isthat.”Ericnodded.
“没错,就是那个。”艾瑞克点了点头。
......
……„Amyismy wife'sgood friend, was able, over the 30yearis the Columbiahigh level, my wifehadtwomoviesisshehelpsto draw the investmentanddistributes.

“艾米是我妻子的好朋友,非常有能力,才三十岁出头就已经是哥伦比亚的高层了,我妻子有两部电影就是她帮忙拉来了投资并且发行的。昨天我碰到她,刚好说起了你,她好像知道你,然后我就跟她说了《小鬼当家》的事情。”一家咖啡厅里,杰弗里・汉森将事情的经过说了一遍。SitssaidinoppositeEriccuriously: „Amy, youweresaid that the opposite partywas a woman?”
坐在对面的艾瑞克好奇道:“艾米,你是说对方是一个女人?”„Naturally.”
“当然。”
The Ericheartsaid that sowill not be skillful, associatestoColumbiaFilm Studioagain, Ericasks: „That, what is the Amyfull name?”艾瑞克心说不会这么巧吧,再联想到哥伦比亚电影公司,艾瑞克不由问道:“那个,艾米的全名是什么?”„AmyPascal.”

果然是她,或许前世九十年代,将派拉蒙再次从低谷带入巅峰的好莱坞第一位女掌门雪莉・兰辛曝光率更高一点,但艾米・帕斯卡尔的成就并不比雪莉・兰辛差多少,这个女强人统治哥伦比亚电影公司的时间比雪莉・兰辛还要长。EricalsochattedseveralwithJeffrey, agreementtime differencetwominutes of time, AmyPascalcatches upin a hurry, onemetersixseveralheight, wears a blacksmallwestern-style clothing, the brownlong hair, the five sensesare fine, has the makings.艾瑞克又与杰弗里聊了几句,约定时间差两分钟的时候,艾米・帕斯卡尔匆匆赶来,一米六几的身高,穿着一身黑色的小西装,棕色长发,五官精致,非常有气质。Has greetedmutually, threepeoplesattogether.
相互打过招呼,三个人一起坐了下来。
