Called me Amy to be good, I very «Jurassic Park» that liked you writing, do I want to ask, «Jurassic Park» movie copyright also in your hands?” 艾米・帕斯卡尔笑道:“谢谢你,艾瑞克。叫我艾米就好,我很喜欢你写的《侏罗纪公园》,我想问一下,《侏罗纪公园》的电影版权还在你手中吗？” Eric carries a shoulder-pole load the eyebrow: „Naturally.” 艾瑞克挑挑眉:“当然。” These days is getting bigger and bigger along with the «Jurassic Park» fame, many Film Studio have related the movie copyright matter, but was rejected by Eric completely. In having enough strength gains the suitable benefit before oneself, Eric has not sold the plan of «Jurassic Park» movie reorganization power. 这段时间随着《侏罗纪公园》名气越来越大,已经有不少电影公司联系过电影版权的事情,不过全部都被艾瑞克拒绝了。在有足够实力为自己争取到相当利益之前,艾瑞克并没有卖出《侏罗纪公园》电影改编权的打算。 „, Does not know that you are willing sold to Columbia the «Jurassic Park» movie reorganization power, can we pay a very good price?” “那么,不知道你愿不愿意把《侏罗纪公园》的电影改编权卖给哥伦比亚,我们会出一个很不错的价格的？” Eric said: „The topic that Amy, we discuss today is not this . Moreover, the present special effect technology is not quite mature, I temporarily not the plan that «Jurassic Park» movie copyright sells.” 艾瑞克道:“艾米,我们今天讨论的话题并不是这个吧,而且,现在的特效技术还不太成熟,我暂时没有将《侏罗纪公园》电影版权卖出的打算。” „That is really regrettable, good, said that the «Home Alone» matter, Jeffrey appreciates to this movie very much, by me the understanding Jeffrey, he is very insightful. Right, heard that you planned makes 20th Century Fox distribute this movie, finally how?” “那真是遗憾,好吧,说说《小鬼当家》的事情吧,杰弗里对这部电影很赞赏,以我对杰弗里的了解,他还是很有眼光的。对了,听说你原本打算让二十世纪福克斯发行这部电影,结果怎么样了？” Eric shrugs, tells the facts: „The 20th Century Fox issue department is in charge of Carter Mr. Hunt had not looked including the movie that rejected.” 艾瑞克耸了耸肩,实话实说道:“二十世纪福克斯的发行部主管卡尔塔・亨特先生连影片都没有看,就拒绝了。” „Carter Hunt, I knows him, a very arrogant fellow.” Amy Pascal said with a smile: „, I thought that we first have a look at your movie.” “卡尔塔・亨特,我知道他,一个很自大的家伙。”艾米・帕斯卡尔笑道:“那么,我觉得,我们还是先看看你的那部电影吧。” Eric nodded, Amy Pascal is bringing Eric and Jeffrey they go to a Columbia Film Studio Headquarters screening hall directly, gives the projectionist the copy, Eric and other two sits on the dermis chair together. 艾瑞克点了点头,艾米・帕斯卡尔带着艾瑞克和杰弗里两人直接来到哥伦比亚电影公司总部的一间放映厅,将拷贝交给放映员,艾瑞克和另外两人一起坐在真皮座椅上。 „Appearance that Eric, you do not anticipate probably very much?” Before the movie shows starts, Amy Pascal accidentally sees the Eric expression, teased. “艾瑞克,你好像并不是很期待的样子啊？”电影放映开始前,艾米・帕斯卡尔偶然看到艾瑞克的表情,调侃道。 But Eric said with a smile: „Amy, you know that film is I manufactures from beginning to end, in my mind thinks of each scene of movie, moreover I had looked at many. However, believes that you will not be disappointed.” 艾瑞克无奈笑道:“艾米,你知道,片子从头到尾都是我制作的,我脑海里装着电影的每一个镜头,而且我已经看过好多遍了。不过,相信你不会失望的。” Screening hall light dark, Amy Pascal nodded, takes back the vision, simultaneously spreads at heart a mood of turning to any doctor one can find when critically ill, Columbia Film Studio lacks the good movie project not to be false now, the situation how but reduce to a high-school student manufactured the movie that does not let off, thought of these, Amy Pascal sighed one in the darkness lightly. 放映厅灯光暗了下来,艾米・帕斯卡尔点了点头,收回目光,同时心里蔓延出一种病急乱投医的情绪,哥伦比亚电影公司现在缺少好的电影项目不假,但自己怎么沦落到连一个高中生制作的电影都不放过的地步了,想到这些,艾米・帕斯卡尔在黑暗中轻叹了一声。 As one of the Columbia senior management, Amy Pascal is familiar with the Columbia condition. Columbia Film Studio these two years achievement non- worried thoughts are not hot, if not many years accumulates the copyright income that the formidable film and television play database has brought, the company definitely will face the huge loss. 作为哥伦比亚的高层管理之一,艾米・帕斯卡尔对哥伦比亚的境况了如指掌。哥伦比亚电影公司这两年的业绩不愠不火,如果不是多年积累了强大的影视剧片库带来的版权收益,公司肯定会面临巨额亏损。 Compares in progressing day by day Disney with 20th Century Fox, as well as latter Barry Diller time as before prosperous Paramount, Columbia is similar to an old person same appears the lethargic, in 1984 attained North America year Box Office list second «Ghostbusters», Columbia has not crushed into the Box Office list consecutively for a three years of movie first ten, if as expected, does not have this year as before. This regarding established film giants, simply is one shame. 相比于蒸蒸日上的迪斯尼和二十世纪福克斯,以及后巴里・迪勒时代依旧鼎盛的派拉蒙,哥伦比亚如同一个年迈的老人一样显得暮气沉沉,1984年拿到北美年度票房榜第二位的《捉鬼敢死队》之后,哥伦比亚已经连续三年没有一部电影挤进票房榜前十,不出意外的话,今年依旧没有。这对于一家老牌电影巨头来说,简直就是一种耻辱。 Columbia parent company Coca Cola lost seriously in last year stock disaster, if the Columbia so non- worried thoughts were not as before hot, cannot bring the profit to the parent company, likely sold out, in fact Japan Sony Financial Group has released to purchase the Columbia Film Studio signal. 哥伦比亚的母公司可口可乐在去年的股灾中损失惨重,如果哥伦比亚依旧这么不愠不火,不能给母公司带来利润的话,很可能被卖掉,事实上日本的索尼财团已经释放出了收购哥伦比亚电影公司的信号。 Amy Pascal does to Eric had understood that this boy high school just graduated, in this several months, has published science fiction «Jurassic Park», writing script «17 Again» is picked by 20th Century Fox, and startled broke all person eyeballs to play the actor, if were not these corona in addition holds, perhaps Amy Pascal also Carter with 20th Century Fox Hunt was the same, did not spare a glance to Eric this movie. 艾米・帕斯卡尔对艾瑞克做过一些了解,这个男孩高中刚刚毕业,在这短短几个月里,发表了科幻小说《侏罗纪公园》,撰写的剧本《重返十七岁》被二十世纪福克斯相中,并且惊破所有人眼球地出演了男主角,如果不是这些光环的加持,或许艾米・帕斯卡尔也同二十世纪福克斯的卡尔塔・亨特一样,对艾瑞克这部电影不屑一顾。 «17 Again» script Columbia Film Studio also had received, company several producers are also interested in this movie, but Eric additional that play the condition of actor to let nowadays invest discrete Columbia to be hard to accept, finally has to give up. 《重返十七岁》的剧本原本哥伦比亚电影公司也收到过,公司几个制片人对这部电影也很感兴趣,只是艾瑞克附加的那个自己出演男主角的条件让现今投资谨慎的哥伦比亚难以接受,最终不得不放弃。 Heard that is Barry Diller I have authorized the plan of «17 Again» personally, contrasts a next present to sit that mediocre Blunt on Columbia Chairman seat Mr. Cohen, Amy Pascal sighed, the company present condition, cannot cut off the relations with that Chairman deficient boldness disposition conservatively. 听说是巴里・迪勒本人亲自批准了《重返十七岁》的计划,对比一下现在坐在哥伦比亚总裁位子上的那位平庸的布朗特・科恩先生,艾米・帕斯卡尔叹了一口气,公司现在的状况,与那位总裁缺乏魄力性格保守脱不了关系。 Along with the broadcast of «Home Alone», full of beauty and significance plot as well as Stewart the Runkle person little rascal big performance of quick Amy the Pascal scattered in disorder train of thought drew on the movie screen. 随着《小鬼当家》的播放,妙趣横生的情节以及斯图尔特・朗克尔人小鬼大的表演很快将艾米・帕斯卡尔散乱的思绪拉到了电影屏幕上。 The movie broadcasts, Amy Pascal at heart except for surprised surprised, she entirely does not believe that this splendid comedy movie is this 18-year-old youth manufactures at present. 电影播放完,艾米・帕斯卡尔心里除了惊讶还是惊讶,她完全不相信这部出色的喜剧电影是眼前这个只有18岁的少年制作的。 Amy on the Pascal face brings to stand up excitedly to Eric said: „Eric, can you wait a bit here? I telephone.” 艾米・帕斯卡尔脸上带着兴奋站起身对艾瑞克道:“艾瑞克,你可以在这里稍等一下吗？我去打个电话。” From Amy in the Pascal expression, Eric cannot know that the accident, the matter has succeeded the larger part. 从艾米・帕斯卡尔的表情中,艾瑞克知道不出意外,事情已经成功了一大半。 Within a half hour, including Columbia Corporation Chairman Blunt the Cohen 78 Columbia Film Studio management gathered together in the screening hall, watched «Home Alone» once more. 半个小时之后,包括哥伦比亚公司总裁布朗特・科恩在内的78名哥伦比亚电影公司高管一起聚在了放映厅里,再次观看了《小鬼当家》。 Watches the movie in the atmosphere cheerfully once more, already close to rush hour, meaning that but all people eagerly have not left. After the movie shows larger part, Columbia these high levels started to discuss in a whisper. 在欢快地气氛中再次看完电影,已经临近下班时间,不过所有人都没有急于离开的意思。电影放映一大半之后,哥伦比亚的这些高层就已经开始交头接耳地商议起来。 In the Columbia Film Studio Chairman office, Eric and Jeffrey sit in 60-year-old Blunt together the Cohen opposite, after the assistant has carried the coffee, Blunt Cohen sipped several coffee leisurely, opens the mouth saying: „Eric, to be honest, we favor the «Home Alone» potential very much, therefore planned that sells outright «Home Alone» all copyright by USD price a surely, do you think what kind of?” 哥伦比亚电影公司总裁办公室里,艾瑞克与杰弗里一起坐在60多岁的布朗特・科恩对面,助理端上了咖啡之后,布朗特・科恩优哉游哉地啜了几口咖啡,才开口道:“艾瑞克,说实话,我们很看好《小鬼当家》的潜力,所以打算以一千万美金的价格买断《小鬼当家》的所有版权,你觉得怎么样？” Hears a surely USD price, sits in nearby Jeffrey Hansson is having the joyful expression immediately. The 1 million cost turned ten times in an instant, if he estimate nods to comply immediately. 听到一千万美元的价格,坐在旁边的杰弗里・汉森顿时带着欣喜的表情。一百万的成本转眼间就翻了十倍,如果是他的话估计会立刻点头答应下来。 Blunt Cohen notes Jeffrey the Hansson expression, shows a satisfactory smile, company to this movie Box Office estimate in 50 million USD about, moreover this movie is very easy to be able the shoots sequel, the peripheral copyright tap potential is also very big, therefore after discussing, decided looks like directly by them the high price sells outright movie all copyright completely, after the initial price, naturally must bargain back and forth, therefore the Columbia Corporation high level has determined 1200 million USD selling outright upper limits. 布朗特・科恩注意到杰弗里・汉森的表情,露出一个满意的微笑,公司对这部电影票房预估在五千万美元左右,而且这部电影很容易就能拍摄续集,周边版权的挖掘潜力也很大,所以在商议一番之后,直接决定以一个他们看起来较高的价格完全将影片所有版权买断,开价之后自然要讨价还价的,所以哥伦比亚公司高层已经确定了1200百万美元的买断上限。 USD wants to sell outright «Home Alone» surely, when you I am a fool? Eric unstated criticism, but does business is this, sits the starting price, renders back the money. 一千万美元就想买断《小鬼当家》,你当我是冤大头么？艾瑞克腹诽了一句,不过做生意就是这样,坐地起价,就地还钱。 „Mr. Cohen, thinks that your Box Office value to the «Home Alone» had one to estimate initially? Can I know this digit?” “科恩先生,想必你们对《小鬼当家》的票房价值已经有了一个初步的预估了吧？我可以知道这个数字吗？” Eric has not complied immediately, Blunt Cohen is somewhat disappointed, but said: „Naturally, we thought that if announcement is appropriate, «Home Alone» North America Box Office should in three surely USD about. According to the convention, you as movie-making side, share that can attain about 20%, therefore, Eric, a surely USD selling outright price is very reasonable. You manufacture the cost of this movie should not over 2 million, therefore, Eric, what you do hesitate? So long as complies, you can become the youngest wealthy man surely immediately.” 艾瑞克没有立即答应下来,布朗特・科恩有些失望,不过还是道:“当然,我们觉得,如果宣发得当的话,《小鬼当家》的北美票房应该在三千万美元左右。按照惯例,你作为制片方,能拿到的分成在20左右,所以,艾瑞克,一千万美金的买断价格还是很合理的。你制作这部电影的成本应该不会超过2000000吧,所以,艾瑞克,你还犹豫什么？只要答应下来,你立刻就能成为最年轻的千万富翁。”
