„Yesterday, a content shocking to betting the agreement in Columbia Film Studio Headquarters signing, relied on talent youth Eric that «Jurassic Park» and «17 Again» prominence to gambling both sides separately recently Williams and Columbia TriStar Film Industry Group.” “昨日,一份内容令人震惊的对赌协议在哥伦比亚电影公司总部签约,对赌的双方分别是最近凭借《侏罗纪公园》和《重返十七岁》声名鹊起的天才少年艾瑞克・威廉姆斯和哥伦比亚－三星影业集团。” „It is reported that Eric Williams after shoots completes «17 Again», depends upon some «Jurassic Park» royalty that the «17 Again» salary and pays in advance, has used merely 15 days of time, has written and directed 100-minute-long small cost comedy «Home Alone». Not to mention the quality of this movie how, merely by Eric the Williams 18-year-old age can complete this magnificent feat, has no qualms the talent two characters.” “据悉,艾瑞克・威廉姆斯在拍摄完成《重返十七岁》后,依靠《重返十七岁》的片酬和预支的部分《侏罗纪公园》版税,用了仅仅15天时间,自编自导了一部长达100分钟的小成本喜剧《小鬼当家》。暂且不说这部电影的质量如何,仅仅以艾瑞克・威廉姆斯18岁的年龄能完成这项壮举,就无愧天才二字。” „The «Home Alone» movie passes through one to go through many places, finally was favored by the Columbia high level consistently, according to an insider has disclosed that Columbia Chairman Blunt Mr. Cohen once initial price surely USD, wanted to sell outright «Home Alone» copyright, but Eric Williams actually refused this to make him the Hollywood youngest wealthy man's attractive offer surely sufficiently, instead proposed one both crazy and stupid to betting agreement.” “《小鬼当家》影片经过一番辗转,最终被哥伦比亚高层一致看好,据内部人士透露,哥伦比亚总裁布朗特・科恩先生曾开价一千万美金,欲买断《小鬼当家》的版权,不过艾瑞克・威廉姆斯却拒绝了这份足以让他成为好莱坞最年轻的千万富翁的诱人的报价,反而提出了一份既疯狂又愚蠢的对赌协议。” The article then in detail introduced both sides to betting the content, then analyzed Eric to win this gambling approximately possibility. The author of this article obviously is a colleague, has illustrated the Box Office data of a series of same type comedy movie, disclosed in light of «Home Alone» information that draws a conclusion very much pessimistically, Eric Williams loses this gambling approximately possibility over 80%. 文章接下来详细介绍了双方对赌内容,然后分析了艾瑞克赢得这份赌约的可能性。这篇文章的作者显然是圈内人士,列举了一系列同类型喜剧电影的票房数据,结合《小鬼当家》透露出来的信息,很悲观地得出一个结论,艾瑞克・威廉姆斯输掉这份赌约的可能性在80%以上。 Because «Home Alone» has already not had Actor of Box Office rallying point, does not belong in a big way invests the big manufacture, generally this type of comedy, quality good words, only then little partially can attain 2-3 Box Office surely, has several million Box Office majority. Therefore the «Home Alone» broken 50 million USD possibility is very low. Moreover that author eventually by a suspicion of conspiracy theory determined that Columbia not ‚permission’ «Home Alone» Box Office surpasses 50 million. 因为《小鬼当家》既没有拥有票房号召力的演员,也不属于大投资大制作,一般这种类型的喜剧,质量不错的话,也只有少部分能拿到两三千万的票房,大部分都只有几百万票房而已。所以《小鬼当家》破五千万美金的可能性很低。而且那位作者最后以一种阴谋论的猜想确定哥伦比亚也不会‘允许’《小鬼当家》的票房超过五千万。 The people most like discussing anything, one type was to surmount oneself were too many and absolutely did not have the envy mood talent, one type was the patho hero, one type was the conspiracy theory. 民众最喜欢议论什么,一种是超越自己太多而完全没有了嫉妒情绪的天才,一种是悲情英雄,一种是阴谋论。 《Los Angeles Times》 this article, fused these three factors openly or covertly more or less, the public sentiment is suddenly turbulent, originally as a result of Fox to the «17 Again» preliminary propaganda, the people have had the interest to Eric, this from the sales volume of «Jurassic Park» rise can look with steady steps. 《洛杉矶时报》这篇文章,或明或暗或多或少地将这三个因素融合了起来,一时间群情汹涌,本来由于福克斯对《重返十七岁》前期的宣传,民众已经对艾瑞克产生了兴趣,这点从《侏罗纪公园》稳步上涨的销量就可以看出来。 Now, «Home Alone» this public opinion bomb explodes suddenly, to the Eric mentioned the peak people's interest all of a sudden. The interest of people means the sales volume, means the viewing ratio, quick, Eric applied to more than ten interviews at the several days adduction. But for sometime does not have Jeff of relation, suddenly telephones, said that some people to their dining room inquired own news, Eric feels keenly, had paparazzi to start to pay attention to itself. 现在,《小鬼当家》这颗舆论炸弹突然爆开,将民众对艾瑞克的兴趣一下子提到了最高点。民众的兴趣就意味着销量,意味着收视率,很快,艾瑞克在短短几天内收到了十多份采访申请。而有段时间没有联系的杰夫,突然打电话过来,说有人向他们餐厅打听自己的消息,艾瑞克敏锐感觉到,已经有狗仔开始关注自己了。 Meanwhile, after the 《Los Angeles Times》 article publishes, Fox and Columbia very tacitly simultaneously catch up in «17 Again» and propaganda of «Home Alone». 同时,《洛杉矶时报》的文章发表之后,福克斯和哥伦比亚非常默契地同时在《重返十七岁》和《小鬼当家》的宣传上发力。 The Fox issue department is in charge of Carter although Hunt some regrets including the movie had not looked that carelessly has rejected Eric «Home Alone», but made him forget as the professionalism of occupation Manager person quickly this mood, after the Columbia high-level negotiation, has revised the propaganda plan of «17 Again», two giants caught up together, the results of producing can be imagined. 福克斯的发行部主管卡尔塔・亨特虽然有些后悔连影片都没有看就草率地拒绝了艾瑞克的《小鬼当家》,但作为职业经理人的专业素养让他很快忘记了这种情绪,与哥伦比亚高层交涉之后,重新修订了《重返十七岁》的宣传计划,两家巨头一起发力,产生的效果可想而知。 ...... …… „Annie, the situation how, have I been able to go home?” Hides Eric in Aniston alveolus sees Aniston to open the door, asked hastily, he one week had not gone home. “安妮,情况怎么样了,我可以回家吗？”躲在安妮斯顿小窝里的艾瑞克看到安妮斯顿开门进来,连忙问道,他已经一个星期没有回家了。 Aniston shook the head, places on the tea table to say the convenient bag in hand: „I drive to pass through from your family, discovered that at least 78 paparazzi also defend near your family, they do not know what luckily I open is your car(riage), otherwise they with, too will be definitely fearful.” 安妮斯顿摇了摇头,将手中的便利袋放在茶几上道:“我开车从你家经过,发现至少78个狗仔还守在你家附近,幸好他们不知道我开的是你的车,不然他们肯定会跟上来,太可怕了。” Eric sighed crazed of paparazzi, because of the two vigorous propaganda of giants' «17 Again» to «Home Alone» and, Eric in short one week of time, became has been all the rage the North America topic character, even on United Kingdom newspaper of Atlantic Ocean other shore presented the Eric relevant information. Eric previous life after all is a colleague, after receiving the Jeff call, sees the crest of wave not to be right, directly hid in the Aniston’s alveolus. Two big Film Studio were enough to his film promotion degree, then depends upon is movie's quality. Therefore Eric is also disinclined to go out to make an appearance is paparazzi provides the topic, let alone, these paparazzi erratically will write any at sixes and sevens thing. 艾瑞克感叹了一声狗仔的丧心病狂,因为两巨头对《小鬼当家》和《重返十七岁》的大力宣传,艾瑞克在短短一周时间,成了风靡北美的话题人物,甚至大西洋彼岸的英国报纸上都出现了艾瑞克的相关信息。艾瑞克前世毕竟是圈内人士,接到杰夫的电话后,见风头不对,就直接躲进了安妮斯顿的小窝里。两大电影公司对他的电影宣传程度已经足够,接下来依靠的就是电影本身的质量。所以艾瑞克也懒得外出露面为狗仔们提供话题,更何况,这些狗仔们不定会写出什么乱七八糟的东西来。 Although Eric has hidden promptly, but he as before completely has become in the face of the public the transparent person, paparazzi cannot interview him, from infancy to maturity completely unearthed his experience, United Kingdom immigrated, the report card of high school, in Jeff the experience of Italian Restaurant work, looked at Aniston with great interest, often nitpicks. 虽然艾瑞克及时躲了起来,但他依旧在公众面前完全成了透明人,狗仔们采访不到他本人,就把他的从小到大的经历全部挖掘了一遍,英国移民啊,高中的成绩单啊,在杰夫的意大利餐厅工作的经历啊,看得安妮斯顿津津有味,不时品头论足一番。 By several days of latter gossip tabloid newspaper presented him with some talent child star Drew and not well-known Actress triangle love, the article author obviously the straight tip that obtains from «17 Again» dramatic team member there, vivid that therefore the story on newspaper writes, is similar to the author personally sees, even has made Drew reason that Barrymore rehabilitation for Eric this type infinite close and inference of fact. As a result of this article, ‚some not well-known Actress’, because being jealous made Eric rest two days of sofas fully. 直到几天后一份八卦小报上出现了他与天才童星德鲁和某个不知名女演员的三角恋,文章作者显然是从《重返十七岁》剧组成员那里得到的内幕消息,因此报纸上的故事写的绘声绘色,如同笔者亲眼所见,甚至做出了德鲁・巴里摩尔之所以戒毒就是为了艾瑞克这种无限接近与事实的推断。由于这篇文章,‘某个不知名女演员’因为吃醋让艾瑞克整整睡了两天的沙发。 ...... …… Michael Claus had gone bad recently simply excitedly, because the high intensity propagandas of two big giants' to two movie and Eric, let break through 100,000 volume of week sales volumes the «Jurassic Park» sales volume rise suddenly once more, the second week of November, «Jurassic Park» at the sales volume of 250,000 book, has reached the 《The New York Times》 North America bestseller ranking first place finally, according to the present sales trend, in the year breaks through the 1 million book completely is not the issue. 迈克尔・克劳斯最近简直兴奋坏了,因为两大巨头对两部电影和艾瑞克的高烈度宣传,让本来已经突破100000册周销量的《侏罗纪公园》销量再次暴涨,11月的第二周,《侏罗纪公园》终于以25万册的销量,登上了《纽约时报》北美畅销书排行榜榜首,按照现在的销售趋势,年内突破一百万册完全不是问题。 Telephones to be fruitless after the Eric family/home repeatedly, Michael Claus through Penny Marshall understood that the Eric whereabouts, looked for the Aniston’s alveolus directly. 多次向艾瑞克家里打电话无果后,迈克尔・克劳斯通过潘妮・马歇尔才了解到了艾瑞克的行踪,直接找上了安妮斯顿的小窝。 „Hey, Michael, how did you find here?” Eric Michael Claus lets in the room, asked curiously. “嘿,迈克尔,你是怎么找到这里的？”艾瑞克将迈克尔・克劳斯让进屋里,好奇地问道。 „Added that could not find you again, I must report to the police, you hide here...... Volume......” Michael Claus was just about to say anything, saw that wore the cool night clothes Aniston that walked from the bedroom, somewhat surprisedly has closed the mouth. “还说呢,再找不到你,我就要报警了,你躲在这里……额……”迈克尔・克劳斯正要说些什么,看到穿着清凉睡衣从卧室走出来的安妮斯顿,有些惊讶地闭上了嘴巴。 „Michael, this is my girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston. Annie, this is Michael Mr. Claus, my novel Publishing House Manager.” “迈克尔,这是我女朋友,詹妮弗・安妮斯顿。安妮,这是迈克尔・克劳斯先生,我小说出版社的经理。” Michael and Aniston two people greeted, Aniston selfish walks toward the bathroom. 迈克尔与安妮斯顿两个人打了声招呼,安妮斯顿自顾自的向卫生间走去。 „Hey, Eric, is this that small Actor? I with liking a Drew point, she in 《E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial》 was really too adorable.” The Aniston form disappears, Michael cannot bear gossip get up. “嘿,艾瑞克,这就是那个小演员？我还是跟喜欢德鲁一点,她在《ET》里真是太可爱了。”安妮斯顿身影一消失,迈克尔就忍不住八卦起来。 Eric gave Michael but actually one coffee, small sound track: „Michael, if you want to drive out by Annie , to continue this topic, I do not dare to mention the Drew name now.” 艾瑞克给迈克尔倒了一杯咖啡,也小声道:“迈克尔,如果你想被安妮赶出去的话,就继续这个话题吧,连我现在都不敢提德鲁的名字。” Michael Claus felt obviously Eric is not cracking a joke, shifted the topic decisively: „This, Eric, «Jurassic Park» sells now such well, you did not think that should make persistent efforts to write a sequel?” 迈克尔・克劳斯明显感觉到艾瑞克不是在开玩笑,果断转移了话题:“这样的,艾瑞克,《侏罗纪公园》现在销售这么好,你不觉得应该再接再厉写一本续集吗？” Eric shakes the head without hesitation, «Jurassic Park» film and television copyright has taken, although was mortgaged to give has been responsible to betting the two offices of agreement, but he was not worried. Also is not willing to waste time again is to write any sequel. 艾瑞克毫不犹豫地摇头,《侏罗纪公园》的影视版权已经拿到手,虽然被抵押给了负责对赌协议的两家事务所,不过他并不担心。同时也不愿意再浪费时间是写什么续集。 „Novel is a complete story, I thought that had nothing to write, Michael.” “小说已经是一个完整的故事了,我觉得没有什么可写了,迈克尔。” Michael Claus is not discouraged, then said: „, Do you currently have other works?” 迈克尔・克劳斯也不气馁,接着道:“那么,你现在有其他作品吗？” Eric shakes the head once more, a while ago the busy gloom, completed «Home Alone» with great difficulty, and signed with Columbia to betting the agreement, Eric had a vacation to oneself directly. Moreover could not rest for several days, screened the previous week close to the movie, Eric must nonstop follow the dramatic team to propagandize the movie everywhere. Two companies reached the cooperation agreement luckily, the progress of tour propaganda is basically consistent, Eric does not need to be divided into two halves one to place east coast one oneself to place the West coast. 艾瑞克再次摇头,前段时间忙的天昏地暗,好不容易完成《小鬼当家》,并且跟哥伦比亚签署了对赌协议,艾瑞克直接给自己放了假。而且也休息不了几天,临近电影上映前一个星期,艾瑞克就要马不停蹄地跟随剧组到处宣传电影。幸好两家公司已经达成了合作协议,巡回宣传的进度基本上一致,艾瑞克才不用把自己分成两半一个放在东海岸一个放在西海岸。
