On November 18, Eric flies the New York second day, «Home Alone» and «17 Again» welcomes the first showing officially, the «Home Alone» opening picture silver screen is 1000, but «17 Again» operates the picture silver screen is actually 1279, are more than «Home Alone» more than 200, Fox has been possible not to betting the scruples of agreement, therefore just started to use fully. 11月18号,艾瑞克飞来纽约的第二天,《小鬼当家》和《重返十七岁》正式迎来首映,《小鬼当家》的开画银幕为1000块,而《重返十七岁》开画银幕却是1279块,比《小鬼当家》还多了200多块,福克斯可没有对赌协议的顾忌,因此刚开始就倾尽全力。 Simultaneously screens also has the Universal Pictures animation 《The Land Before Time》 1395 silver screens, as well as Disney Bowei international distribution 952 silver screens of animation 《Oliver & Company》. 同时上映的还有环球影业的动画《小脚板走天涯》的1395块银幕,以及迪斯尼旗下博伟国际发行的动画《奥丽华历险记》的952块银幕。 Three also screen to the movie of child, this point makes the media think that Eric won to the possibility of gambling is lower, but Eric does not have to worry that these two animation earlier periods may create certain Box Office extrusion to «Home Alone», but definitely are unable compare later with «Home Alone» in the endurance, previous life «Home Alone» consecutively for 10 weeks of Box Office in 10 million above. 三部面向儿童的电影同时上映,这一点让媒体觉得艾瑞克赢得对赌的可能性更低,但艾瑞克却没有过于担忧,这两部动画前期或许会对《小鬼当家》造成一定的票房挤压,但后期在持久力上肯定无法与《小鬼当家》相比,前世《小鬼当家》可是连续10周票房都在1000万以上。 Participates in two preview ceremony, Eric and dramatic team people return to the hotel the time, is around 11 : 00 pm. This age did not have the later generation that advanced Box Office statistical system, therefore can only wait till next week, can know «Home Alone» and «17 Again» Box Office data. 参加完两场首映式,艾瑞克和剧组众人回到酒店的时候,已经是晚上11点多。这个年代还没有后世那么先进的票房统计系统,所以只能等到下周,才能得知《小鬼当家》和《重返十七岁》的票房数据。 Returns to the room, Eric to take a bath, is planning to sleep, the telephone bell has rung suddenly. Such late telephones had Aniston. 回到房间,艾瑞克洗了个澡,正打算睡觉,电话铃突然响了起来。这么晚打电话过来的只有安妮斯顿了。 „Hi, Eric, did you rest?” In the Aniston expression has slightly excitedly to ask. “嗨,艾瑞克,你睡了吗？”安妮斯顿语气里带着点小兴奋地问道。 Eric sits on the bed, scratches the wet hair to say with the towel: „Did not have, just took a bath, did Annie, what happy matter come across?” 艾瑞克坐在床上,用毛巾擦着湿漉漉的头发道:“还没,刚洗完澡,安妮,遇到什么高兴的事情了？” „Do you go ahead and guess?” “你猜猜看？” Eric teased: „Oh, I knew, you have definitely been pregnant, felt relieved that I will be responsible.” 艾瑞克调侃道:“哦,我知道了,你肯定怀孕了,放心我会负责的。” „Bah, your this big color | the wolf, just knows thinks these dirty matters.” Aniston held the microphone to spit one: „I just looked at «Home Alone», has met very interesting matter Oh.” “呸,你这个大色丨狼,就知道想那些龌龊的事情。”安妮斯顿捧着话筒啐了一口:“我刚刚去看《小鬼当家》了,遇到了一件很有意思的事情哦。” Eric said with a smile: „Said that looks?” 艾瑞克微笑道:“说说看？” „Is this, I come out from the movie theater, just sees a 5 or 6-year-old young boy, screams must look at Kevin, child's parents did not agree that said just had looked, the result young boy lying down ground has made a tearful scene. Some people noticed that this scene was mistaken that to the parents is a slave trader, has beaten savagely to the pitiful young parents that has recompensed the police, most afterward several police vehicles, are really too amusing, haha.” “是这样的,我从电影院出来,刚好看到一个五六岁的小男孩,大声嚷嚷着要看凯文,那孩子的父母不同意,说是刚刚看过了,结果小男孩躺地上哭闹了起来。有人看到这情景误以为那对父母是人贩子,把那对可怜的年轻父母暴打了一顿,还报了警,最后来了好几辆警车,真是太好玩了,哈哈。” Aniston regards a view shade interesting rumor on the way to say this matter to the Eric hear, but Eric actually saw that means. Also chatted several with Aniston, made the telephone call, Eric has lain on the bed, somewhat was slightly excited. 安妮斯顿只是把这件事当成观影途中的一段趣闻讲给艾瑞克听,而艾瑞克却从中看出更多意味来。又与安妮斯顿聊了几句,挂了电话,艾瑞克躺在床上,微微有些兴奋。 Because the matter deferred to the previous life path to occur as before. Reason that previous life «Home Alone» can obtain that astonishing Box Office , because a big wave bear child is restless is watching «Home Alone» repeatedly repeatedly, and in the imitation piece Kevin every action and every movement, finally promoted the movie to attain the astonishing Box Office result. 因为事情依旧按照前世的轨迹发生了。前世《小鬼当家》之所以能取得那么惊人的票房,就是因为一大波熊孩子闹腾着一遍一遍地反复观看《小鬼当家》,并且争相模仿片中凯文的一举一动,最终推动影片拿到了惊人的票房成绩。 The matter truly such as such of Eric guess, the movie opens first day, «Home Alone» and another two animation Box Office basically similar, but disseminates in the children's mouth along with the «Home Alone» reputation at an exceptional pace, next day, «Home Alone» the same day Box Office turned one time directly, third day one-day Box Office considerably grows once more, some popular theater entrances had the situation of lining up. 事情确实如艾瑞克猜测的那样,电影上映的第一天,《小鬼当家》和另外两部动画票房基本都差不多,但随着《小鬼当家》的口碑在儿童们口中以惊人的速度传播,第二天,《小鬼当家》的当日票房直接翻了一倍,第三天单日票房再次大幅度增长,一些热门影院门口已经出现了排队的情况。 After all, when the animated cartoon can look that but Kevin of person little rascal greatly ancient spirit demon momentarily cannot meet, the majority of children fantasized that too quick grows up quickly, can handle many present undoable matters. «Home Alone» this movie at child's angle of view, realizes the matter that in the majority of child reality has wanted to handle is undoable, not to dare to handle or unable to achieve. 毕竟,动画片什么时候都能看,而人小鬼大古灵精怪的凯文可不是随时能遇到的,大部分孩子都幻想过快快长大,能做很多现在不能做的事情。《小鬼当家》这部电影以孩子的视角,实现了大部分孩子现实中想做却不能做、不敢做或者做不到的事情。 In the middle of the North America children's community blew one to imitate the Kevin unrest rapidly, on San Francisco newspaper even reported a real «Home Alone» event, after a nine -year-old boy has looked at «Home Alone», when family prepared Hawaii to take vacation, secretly will lock in the room. 北美的儿童群体当中迅速刮起了一股模仿凯文的风潮,旧金山一家报纸上甚至报道了一起真实的《小鬼当家》事件,一个九岁的男孩看过《小鬼当家》后,在全家准备去夏威夷度假的时候,偷偷将自己锁在了房间里。 But has six children's parents suddenly really not to discover that this matter, after family flies Hawaii, discovered that the boy disappears. The boy parents have to give up taking vacation from Hawaii fly back to San Francisco, simultaneously the boy has resulted in the complete mess the family/home neighborhood, is ready in full battle array ‚fool’ whole face anxious parents who truly oncoming, what a pity waits. 而拥有六个孩子的父母竟然真的没有发现这件事,全家飞到夏威夷之后,才发现男孩不见了。男孩父母不得不放弃度假从夏威夷飞回旧金山,同时男孩已经将家里弄得一团糟,严阵以待‘笨贼’的来临,可惜等来的确实满脸焦急的父母。 One week later, movie first week Box Office counts finally, although before all sorts of irritable signs have made the person have certain preparation, but «Home Alone» astonishing 27.55 million USD first week Box Office startled broke the eyeballs of all people. 一周之后,电影首周票房终于统计出来,虽然之前的种种火爆迹象已经让人有了一定的心理准备,但《小鬼当家》惊人的2755万美元首周票房还是惊破了所有人的眼球。 Perhaps 2000 ten thousand USD Box Office are unable to compare with the later generation first week Box Office broken hundred million big pieces, but this age, this result was direct to explode in the past few years all high Box Office movies, even had not made so shocking opening progress including Spielberg's 《E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial》 in the past, can surpass «Home Alone» also had George Lucas 《Star Wars》 series, but the 《Star Wars》 production cost was actually the «Home Alone» 100 times! 2000多万美元的票房或许与后世首周票房破亿的大片无法相比,但这个年代,这份成绩直接完爆近几年来所有高票房电影,甚至连斯皮尔伯格的《ET》当年都没有取得如此惊艳的开局成绩,能超过《小鬼当家》的也只有乔治・卢卡斯的《星球大战》系列了,但《星球大战》的制作成本却是《小鬼当家》的100多倍！ Meanwhile, «17 Again» also to have obtained second by 13.12 million good achievements. Separately only have attained 7.12 million and 3.98 million Box Office with 《The Land Before Time》 and 《Oliver & Company》 of two animated cartoons «Home Alone» competition, is much lower than two big Film Studio required values, without a doubt, Box Office of two animations by miserable that very «Home Alone» suppresses, Universal and Disney high level sighed «Home Alone» Box Office goes against heaven's will at the same time, somewhat envies the Columbia good luck. 同时,《重返十七岁》也以13120000的好成绩取得了第二名。与《小鬼当家》竞争的《小脚板走天涯》和《奥丽华历险记》两部动画片则分别只拿到了7120000和3980000的票房,远远低于两大电影公司的预期值,毫无疑问,两部动画的票房都被《小鬼当家》压制的很惨,环球和迪斯尼高层感叹《小鬼当家》票房太逆天的同时,又有些羡慕哥伦比亚的好运气。 The Columbia luck is truly good, but saw that first week Box Office Columbia Chairman Blunt Cohen is not happy, even several times have not borne fall the teacup in hand. 哥伦比亚运气确实很好,但看到首周票房的哥伦比亚总裁布朗特・科恩心情却一点也不好,甚至好几次都没忍住将手里的茶杯摔了出去。 According to the first week Box Office data, after Columbia re-evaluates, obtains «Home Alone» North America Box Office definitely in 200 million USD above, even likely surpasses 300 million USD. Blunt in the Cohen heart incomparably lamented, if initially persisted in selling outright the «Home Alone» copyright plan, but does not sign any dog | the fart to betting agreement, then Columbia will get several billions USD profits by this movie this year. 根据首周票房数据,哥伦比亚重新评估后得出《小鬼当家》的北美票房肯定在两亿美元以上,甚至很可能超过三亿美元。布朗特・科恩心中无比悔恨,如果当初坚持买断《小鬼当家》版权的方案,而不是签署什么狗丨屁的对赌协议的话,那么今年哥伦比亚凭借这部电影将获得数亿美元的利润。 But now, according to betting agreement, if «Home Alone» Box Office 300 million USD, Columbia will pay share of 120 million USD to give Eric, oneself can only obtain 45 million USD, subtracts the cost of capital many, perhaps only compared with the Eric 120 million USD odd change that Columbia gain. 而现在,根据对赌协议,如果《小鬼当家》票房三亿美元的话,哥伦比亚将支付1.2亿美元的分成给艾瑞克,自身只能获得4500万美元,减去发行成本,哥伦比亚自己赚的或许只比艾瑞克1.2亿美元的零头多点。 Blunt in the Cohen heart has produced repeatedly tears the thought of agreement, but, that to betting the agreement content entire US all knows now, if tears up the agreement rashly, Columbia was hard to win the lawsuit not saying that will also become the entire US laughingstock, this Chairman definitely will also be regarded the scapegoat to make a clean sweep. 布朗特・科恩心中已经多次产生撕毁协议的念头,不过,那份对赌协议内容现在全美皆知,如果贸然撕毁协议,哥伦比亚难以打赢官司不说,还会成为全美的笑柄,他这个总裁也肯定会被当成替罪羊扫地出门。 „It is not good, must find way to recall the loss, must......” Blunt Cohen was muttering, the assistant knocked on a door saying: „Mr. Cohen, the person were in attendance, can meet.” “不行,必须想办法挽回损失,必须……”布朗特・科恩正喃喃自语着,助理敲门进来道:“科恩先生,人都到齐了,可以开会了。” Blunt Cohen has rubbed temples, sets out to move toward the conference room. 布朗特・科恩揉了揉太阳穴,起身走向会议室。 After own position sits down, Blunt Cohen directly asked Lester of responsible «Home Alone» project Reed: „Lester, data analysis how?” 在自己的位置上坐下后,布朗特・科恩直接问负责《小鬼当家》项目的莱斯特・里德:“莱斯特,数据分析的怎么样了？” Lester Reed wanted tonight to follow the «Home Alone» dramatic team comes back by the flight, but a Headquarters emergency call, making him be ahead of time the half of the day to return to Los Angeles compared with other people. Arrives at Columbia Headquarters, knew after «Home Alone» first week Box Office, Lester Basic Instinct thought that some are not wonderful. 莱斯特・里德本来要今天深夜才会跟随《小鬼当家》剧组乘班机回来,不过总部一个紧急电话,让他比其他人提前了半天回到洛杉矶。来到哥伦比亚总部,得知《小鬼当家》首周票房之后,莱斯特本能地觉得有些不妙。 Looked at unemotionally Blunt afraid Cohen, what the decision decides to accept to betting the agreement is Blunt Cohen, but was he first responded this agreement in initially the conference. According to Blunt the Cohen obstinate disposition, ten have eight | nine to vent anger oneself. 心虚地看了面无表情的布朗特・科恩一眼,拍板决定接受对赌协议的是布朗特・科恩,但却是他在当初会议上首先响应这份协议的。按照布朗特・科恩刚愎自用的性格,十有八丨九会迁怒自己。 „Mr. Cohen, according to the analysis of data department, according to betting agreement, we most can only attain about 50 million USD share, is divided into the peak value probably in 225 million USD, this is the data curve.” “科恩先生,按照数据部门的分析,依照对赌协议,我们最多只能拿到5000万美元左右的分成,分成峰值大概在2.25亿美元,这是数据曲线。” Blunt Cohen received the analysis document, looked on one to represent the red parabola of Columbia profit, the green curve that as well as was divided into that rises on behalf of Eric, the temples cannot bear jump once more two. 布朗特・科恩接过分析文件,看了一眼上面代表着哥伦比亚盈利的红色抛物线,以及代表艾瑞克分成的那条一路上扬的绿色曲线,太阳穴再次忍不住跳了两下。 Bang 砰 Another teacup by Blunt Cohen falls on the padauk teak floor, sends out a dull thumping sound, in the conference room other people slightly shake, the subconsciousness lowered the head becomes keeps silent. 又一个茶杯被布朗特・科恩摔在红木地板上,发出一声闷响,会议室里其他人都微微一震,下意识低下头变得噤若寒蝉。 Generally, 50 million USD Box Office was divided has been able to make in many Film Studio high-level dreams smile to awake, even if after all were six big giants, Box Office of this time whole year gained in the best situation also 1-2 about hundred million. 一般情况下,五千万美元的票房分成已经能让很多电影公司高层梦里笑醒了,毕竟即使是六大巨头,这个时代全年的票房盈利最好的情况下也就一两个亿左右。 But with a 100 million multi- USD profit contrast that Eric probably obtains, Blunt Cohen should some all exhilarations be instantaneous. 但与艾瑞克可能获得的一亿多美元利润一对比,布朗特・科恩本该有的所有兴奋感瞬间荡然无存。 „, To betting the agreement is you are responsible for signing, now what to do?” Blunt Cohen coldly took a fast look around people, finally the vision fell on Lester on Reed. “那么,对赌协议是你负责签署的,现在怎么办？”布朗特・科恩冷冷地扫视了众人一圈,最后目光落在了莱斯特・里德身上。
