Sits in nearby Jeffrey Hansson thought one should help to open the mouth to bargain back and forth, but has not opened the mouth, Eric said: „Sorry, Mr. Cohen, I did not plan the way to selling outright sells out «Home Alone», did we chat are divided into the agreement?” 坐在旁边的杰弗里・汉森觉得自己应该帮忙开口讨价还价一番,不过还没有开口,艾瑞克已经说道:“对不起,科恩先生,我不打算以买断的方式卖掉《小鬼当家》,我们还是谈谈分成协议吧？” Blunt Cohen frown micro pressed, shows the disgruntled look: „Eric, if divided, I can only give you 18%.” 布朗特・科恩双眉微蹙,露出不悦的神色:“艾瑞克,如果分成的话,我只能给你18。” „Mr. Cohen, just didn't you say 20%?” Jeffrey said in the side rebuttal. “科恩先生,刚刚你不是还说20吗？”杰弗里在旁边反驳道。 Blunt Cohen said lightly: „That that I just said is only in the average situation, if we distribute «Home Alone», then the announcement cost definitely is much higher than the movie-making cost, 18% were very reasonable.” 布朗特・科恩淡淡道:“我刚刚说的那只是平均的情况下,如果我们来发行《小鬼当家》,那么宣发成本肯定远远高于制片成本,18已经很合理了。” Jeffrey is just about to argue, Eric blocked side somewhat impulsive Jeffrey saying: „Good, Mr. Cohen, but, I have another plan, how do we sign one to betting the agreement?” 杰弗里正要争辩,艾瑞克挡住了身边有些冲动的杰弗里道:“好吧,科恩先生,不过,我还有另外一个方案,我们签署一份对赌协议如何？” Although to betting the agreement is very common in the film and television circle, but Blunt in do Cohen or heart laugh at one, what qualifications the secret passage you have to sign with Columbia to betting the agreement? However he engrossing hinted Eric saying that he wants to listen what this kid can start out to betting the condition actually. 虽然对赌协议在影视圈很普遍,但布朗特・科恩还是心中嗤笑一声,暗道你有什么资格跟哥伦比亚签署对赌协议？不过他还是饶有兴趣地示意艾瑞克说下去,他倒是想听听这个小家伙能开出什么样的对赌条件。 Eric as if had not seen that Blunt ridicule that on the Cohen face not minces, is with smile on the face saying: „50 million USD is the lower limit, in Columbia guarantee the premise of publicity and under institute line number, if «Home Alone» Box Office is lower than 50 million USD, I offer «Home Alone» all copyright to Columbia Film Studio free of charge.” 艾瑞克仿佛没有看到布朗特・科恩脸上毫不掩饰的嘲弄,面带微笑道:“五千万美金为底限,在哥伦比亚保证宣传力度和院线场次的前提下,如果《小鬼当家》的票房低于五千万美金,我将《小鬼当家》所有版权免费赠送给哥伦比亚电影公司。” These words said that even if were sees storm Blunt Cohen also somewhat changed countenance, their Box Office estimate to the «Home Alone» probably was also about 50 million USD, if signed really to betting the agreement, so long as when the time comes made a petty action, the movie Box Office control in 50 million USD was a very simple matter. Blunt Cohen thinks Eric stupid at the same time, has to admire the boldness of this young people. 这些话说完,即使是见惯了风浪的布朗特・科恩也有些动容,他们对《小鬼当家》的票房预估大概也就是五千万美金左右,如果真的签署了对赌协议,到时候只要做点小动作,将电影票房控制在五千万美金之内是一件很简单的事情。布朗特・科恩觉得艾瑞克愚蠢的同时,又不得不佩服这个年轻人的魄力。 But Jeffrey Hansson stands up suddenly, in the sound brings to say to Eric unbelievable seriously: „Eric, were you insane?” 而杰弗里・汉森猛然站起身,声音中带着难以置信地对艾瑞克严肃道:“艾瑞克,你疯了？” Eric set out to pat the shoulder of Jeffrey, hinted him to sit down, then said: „If Box Office in 50 million to 100 million USD, I wants 20% shares, if Box Office surpasses 100 million USD, then, increases surely USD Box Office every time, my share proportion increases 1%.” 艾瑞克起身拍了拍杰弗里的肩膀,示意他坐下,接着道:“如果票房在五千万到一亿美金之内,我要20的分成,而如果票房超过一亿美金,那么,每增加一千万美金的票房,我的分成比例增加1。” Eric said that then no longer opened the mouth, carries the coffee to drink self-poise. Nearby Jeffrey Hansson sweeps to sweep off between two people with the vision uneasyly whether sitting or standing, he somewhat worried that Blunt Cohen will comply with Eric this absurd agreement directly, such USD selling outright expense malingered surely. Surely USD, many person for a lifetime varying definite opinions that much money. 艾瑞克说完,便不再开口,端起咖啡镇定自若地喝了起来。旁边的杰弗里・汉森坐立不安地用目光在两个人之间扫来扫去,他有些担心布朗特・科恩会直接答应艾瑞克这个荒唐的协议,那样一千万美金的买断费用就泡汤了。一千万美金啊,多少人一辈子都不一定见过那么多钱。 It is a pity that Blunt Cohen truly is a deficient boldness hierarch, hesitant enough five minutes, finally said: „Eric, this matter I need to meet to discuss well, tomorrow gives you to answer the line?” 遗憾的是,布朗特・科恩确实是一个缺乏魄力的掌权者,犹豫了足足五分钟,最终还是道:“艾瑞克,这件事我需要开会好好商议一下,明天给你答复行吗？” Eric nodded, sets out directly with Blunt Cohen said goodbye. 艾瑞克点了点头,直接起身与布朗特・科恩告辞。 Arrives at the parking lot, Jeffrey has not taken own car, but sneaked in the Eric copilot. 来到停车场,杰弗里没有取自己的汽车,而是钻进了艾瑞克的副驾驶。 „Eric, you were really too impulsive. USD, did not have surely in an instant, you have a look these years, although the comedy movie generally can obtain good Box Office, but the dark horse is very few, tomorrow our direct selection will sell outright the agreement, could strive in the price again? Listens my, young people, sometimes person for a lifetime only then such 1-2 opportunities, will miss never will again have, had surely USD, you can continue the shoots movie, can handle a lot.” “艾瑞克,你真是太冲动了。一千万美金啊,转眼就没有了,你看看这些年来,虽然喜剧电影普遍能取得不错的票房,但黑马少之又少,明天我们还是直接选择买断协议吧,或许可以在价格上再争取一下？听我的,年轻人,有时候人一辈子都只有那么一两次机会,错过了就永远不会再有了,有了一千万美金,你可以继续拍摄电影,可以做很多事情。” Eric actually immerses in the pleasant sensation at this time, in giving Columbia Film Studio digging a pit, blood from top to bottom as if slightly seethes with excitement, previous life «Home Alone» Box Office was included Guinness World Records, now «Home Alone» and previous life of this duplication are similarly splendid, he does not believe from the start by the release ability of Columbia this established giant, «Home Alone» Box Office will be worse than previous life many, therefore just started him not to know how to gain the maximum benefit for oneself. 艾瑞克此时却沉浸在给哥伦比亚电影公司挖坑的快感之中,浑身上下的血液仿佛都微微沸腾,前世《小鬼当家》的票房可是被计入了吉尼斯纪录,现在这部复制的《小鬼当家》与前世同样出色,他压根就不相信以哥伦比亚这个老牌巨头的发行能力,《小鬼当家》的票房会比前世差多少,所以刚开始他还不知道如何为自己争取最大利益。 According to the normal share negotiations, this small cost movie are most also can only attain 20% that Box Office is divided into, in Blunt Cohen hears Eric to want the bamboo slip to be divided into the agreement, parsimoniously said 20% that is divided to reduce to 18% times, the Eric miraculous glow dodges, remembered has been able to let be divided into the method of fluctuation to the gambling. 按照正常的分成谈判,他这部小成本电影最多也只能拿到票房分成的20,在布朗特・科恩听到艾瑞克想要签分成协议,吝啬地将本来说的20分成降低到18的时候,艾瑞克灵光一闪,才想起了能让分成浮动的方法对赌。 In the cinema world, to betting Box Office the matter is very universal, because of under normal conditions, this is a win-win matter, both sides can during the evade risk, gains the biggest benefit for oneself. 电影圈里,对赌票房的事情是很普遍的,因为通常情况下,这是一件双赢的事情,双方都能在规避风险的同时,为自己争取到最大的利益。 If calculates according to previous life «Home Alone» final 280 million USD North America Box Office, signs after betting the agreement, Eric can attain 38% shares finally, is higher than these powerful movie-making side 35% shares. Moreover, after Blunt Cohen hears him to propose that response, Columbia Film Studio the proper preparation jumped the pit. 如果按照前世《小鬼当家》的最终2.8亿美元北美票房来算,签署对赌协议之后,艾瑞克最终能拿到38%的分成,比那些实力强大的制片方35%的分成还要高。而且,根据布朗特・科恩听到他提议后的反应来看,哥伦比亚电影公司已经妥妥的准备跳坑了。 „Hey, Eric, I said these many, do you have are listening to me to speak?” Jeffrey Hansson discovered having a parched mouth that one talk incessantly, Eric sat on the seat instead is distracted. Patted on the Eric shoulder gently two, Eric responded. “嘿,艾瑞克,我说了这么多,你到底有没有在听我说话啊？”杰弗里・汉森发现自己唠叨的口干舌燥,艾瑞克坐在座位上反而走神了。轻轻在艾瑞克肩膀上拍了两下,艾瑞克才反应过来。 „Was good, Jeffrey, I know that you are good to me, but you think, several months ago, my what did not have, to put together one also how, secretly tells you innermost thoughts, I thought that «Home Alone» Box Office likely broken 200 million, you think, according to betting agreement that I proposed, how many such words can I attain to be divided?” “好了,杰弗里,我知道你是对我好,可是你想想,几个月前,我本来就什么都没有,拼一把又如何,偷偷告诉你一点心里话,我觉得,《小鬼当家》的票房很可能破两亿,你想想,按照我提出的对赌协议,那样的话我能拿到多少分成？” Jeffrey by one type the vision that looks at the paranoea patient is staring Eric. 杰弗里以一种看妄想症患者的目光瞪着艾瑞克。 Eric said with a smile deprecatingly: „Jeffrey, has a confidence point to be good to me, if the success, you as the producer of enrolling, when the time comes I definitely to you rich drawing bonus, you have been able to redeem Oh Firefly Film Studio from bank there, therefore, help me now what kind of?” 艾瑞克不以为意地笑道:“杰弗里,对我有信心一点好不好,如果真的成功了,你作为挂名的制片人,到时候我肯定会给你一份丰厚的分红的,你可以将萤火虫电影公司从银行那里赎回来哦,所以,现在帮我个忙怎么样？” Jeffrey has a dream wants to redeem with wife together foundation Film Studio, but he has not taken seriously the Eric words, saw with own eyes that was unable to persuade Eric to change an attitude, must ask: „Good, does Eric, what busy need me to manage?” 杰弗里做梦都想赎回与妻子共同创建的电影公司,不过他并没有把艾瑞克的话当真,眼见已经无法劝说艾瑞克回心转意,只得问道:“好吧,艾瑞克,需要我办什么忙？” „Helps me relate Law Office and a public accounting firm, will not have the accident, Columbia will definitely comply with the agreement that I will propose, when the time comes I the operational practice that will need the person to help me supervise and audit the agreement, if will present the dispute, will also want some people to help me bring a lawsuit.” “帮我联系一家律师事务所和一家会计事务所,不出意外,哥伦比亚肯定会答应我提出的协议,到时候我需要人帮我监督和审计协议的执行情况,如果出现纠纷,还要有人帮我打官司。” Jeffrey said: „These do not have the issue, but, Eric, do you currently have money? Even if the casual please two such team need the money.” 杰弗里道:“这些都没问题,不过,艾瑞克,你现在还有钱吗？哪怕是随便请两个这样的团队都需要一大笔钱。” „Naturally has,” Eric opens the car front Chu box, pulls out a «Jurassic Park» novel from inside: „I make the mortgage by the «Jurassic Park» following royalty and movie copyright, by the «Jurassic Park» present sales figure, this different thing low value 1 million USD does not have the issue. If to betting were defeated, takes «Jurassic Park» settles a debt, believes that these offices will not reject.” “当然有,”艾瑞克打开汽车前面的储物箱,从里面掏出一本《侏罗纪公园》的小说:“我以《侏罗纪公园》的后续版税和电影版权作抵押,以《侏罗纪公园》现在的销售情况,这两样东西低值一百万美金还是没问题的。如果对赌真的失败了,就拿《侏罗纪公园》抵账,相信那些事务所不会拒绝的。” „Eric, you may really be...... Crazy!” “艾瑞克,你可真是……疯狂！” „Any great talent, has the crazy attribute.” “凡是伟大的天才,都带有疯狂的属性。” The Jeffrey booth lets go: „Good, you not only crazy but also arrogant, Aristotle is unable to prevent you.” 杰弗里摊摊手:“好吧,你不但疯狂而且自大,亚里士多德都无法阻止你了。” „Aristotle is very busy, these words were Stendhal say.” “亚里士多德很忙,这句话是司汤达说的。” „......” “……” Jeffrey agrees to help to relate office finally as soon as possible, at the same time, in the Columbia Film Studio conference room, several high levels were discussing Eric proposed to betting condition. 杰弗里最后同意尽快帮忙联系事务所,与此同时,哥伦比亚电影公司的会议室里,几名高层正在商议艾瑞克提出的对赌条件。 „Was good, probably is this, everybody publishes own view.” Blunt Cohen to betting the condition that Eric said narrated, looked at the several management of downward head, was waiting for the people expressed the opinion. “好了,大概就是这样,大家发表一下自己的看法。”布朗特・科恩将艾瑞克所说的对赌条件叙述了一遍,看向下首的几位高管,等待着众人发表意见。 Blunt after Cohen said that the majority of management in conference room somewhat are unbelievable, should say that boy is crazy stupidly? 布朗特・科恩说完之后,会议室里的大部分高管都有些难以置信,该说那个男孩疯狂呢还是愚蠢呢？ Finally, management Lester of issue department Reed said: „Mr. Cohen, this is a good opportunity, promises him. According to our estimates, the Box Office potential of this movie is highest also on 50 million, signed after betting the agreement, so long as operated slightly, limited Box Office in 50 million USD is very easy matter, moreover our USD selling outright expense did not use surely.” 最后,发行部的一位高管莱斯特・里德率先道:“科恩先生,这是个好机会,答应他吧。按照我们的预估,这部电影的票房潜力最高也就五千万,签署了对赌协议之后,只要稍微操作一下,将票房限制在五千万美金之内是很容易的事情,而且我们连一千万美金的买断费用都不用出。” Lester Reed said that other people also echo. 莱斯特・里德说完,其他人也跟着附和起来。
