Really vented anger to oneself on, Lester Reed sighed woefully at heart. But in this case, he does not dare to refute, otherwise definitely will make a clean sweep. 果然迁怒到自己身上了,莱斯特・里德心里哀叹一声。但这种情况下,他也不敢反驳,不然肯定会被扫地出门。 „Mr. Cohen, we could try...... Is trying with Eric Williams negotiated, signed to be divided into the agreement.” “科恩先生,我们或许可以试着……试着与艾瑞克・威廉姆斯谈判,重新签署分成协议。” „Is this means that you find out?” Blunt Cohen laughs at one: „If you are Eric Williams, you will agree to sign the agreement?” “这就是你想出的办法？”布朗特・科恩嗤笑一声:“如果你是艾瑞克・威廉姆斯,你会同意重新签署协议吗？” Lester Reed braces oneself saying: „Eric Williams should know that according to the present Box Office trend, regarding the investment by far Columbia that he is more , is very unfair, therefore......” 莱斯特・里德硬着头皮道:“艾瑞克・威廉姆斯应该知道,按照现在的票房趋势,对于投入远远比他多的哥伦比亚来说,是很不公平的,所以……” Does not wait for Lester Reed said that Blunt Cohen pounds on the table to exclaim directly: „Has sufficed, fair, when do you see this world to have fair? What I want is the countermeasure, can be Columbia gains more benefits the countermeasures, but does not indulge in fantasy.” 不等莱斯特・里德说完,布朗特・科恩直接拍桌子吼道:“够了,公平,你什么时候见过这世界有公平？我要的是对策,一个可以为哥伦比亚争取更多利益的对策,而不是异想天开。” Lester Reed lowered the head silent, no longer said a word. Blunt Cohen looked at other people, finally falls on sitting in meeting table end Amy on Pascal. Initially in the conference room had Amy a Pascal person to Eric Williams on betting the agreement had the opposing opinion, this made in his heart ignite a hope. 莱斯特・里德沉默地低下头,不再言语。布朗特・科恩看了看其他人,最后落在坐在会议桌末尾的艾米・帕斯卡尔身上。当初会议室里只有艾米・帕斯卡尔一个人对艾瑞克・威廉姆斯的对赌协议持反对意见,这让他心中燃起一丝希望。 Blunt Cohen has relaxed the expression slightly to Amy Pascal said: „Amy, what great idea do you have?” 布朗特・科恩稍微缓和了一下语气对艾米・帕斯卡尔道:“艾米,你有什么好主意吗？” Although Blunt hasty words and stern countenance of Cohen in conference room, Amy Pascal somewhat is absent-minded, she to Blunt Cohen already disappointed, the attitude is conservative, the deficient boldness, the suspicion is oversuspicious, encounters a difficulty calmly, does not have a style of superior, does not know how Coca Cola selects this mediocre Chairman. Amy Pascal even thought that perhaps he should trade one to work. 虽然布朗特・科恩在会议室里疾言厉色,艾米・帕斯卡尔却有些心不在焉,她心里对布朗特・科恩已经失望透顶,作风保守,缺乏魄力,猜忌多疑,遇事毫不冷静,丝毫没有一个上位者的风范,不知道可口可乐是怎么选中这个平庸的总裁的。艾米・帕斯卡尔甚至觉得,自己或许应该换一份工作了。 However, hears Blunt Cohen inquired itself, Amy Pascal reorganized the train of thought that opened the mouth saying: „Mr. Cohen, about that to betting agreement, I do not have the slight means. Even if under we directly make the movie force the files now, is impossible to obtain «Home Alone» copyright again free, instead will face Eric Williams reaches as high as the claims of over a hundred million USD.” 不过,听到布朗特・科恩询问自己,艾米・帕斯卡尔还是整理了一下思绪,开口道:“科恩先生,关于那份对赌协议,我也没有丝毫办法。哪怕我们现在直接让电影强制下档,也不可能再免费获得《小鬼当家》的版权,反而会面临艾瑞克・威廉姆斯高达上亿美元的索赔。” Said here, Amy Pascal, to the people an opportunity of thinking, did not wait for Blunt Cohen opened the mouth once more, then said: „Therefore, we should do now, bosses around Eric with every effort Williams, earnestly to betting the agreement carries out that to demonstrate the Columbia sincerity. «Home Alone» Box Office surpasses 50 million USD is the affirmation, therefore other overseas as well as peripheral copyright will return to Eric on Williams. Let alone «Home Alone» will definitely manufacture the sequel, our time maintains the good cooperation stance, when the manufacture sequel, I believe that by Eric the astuteness of Williams, will definitely continue to cooperate with us, I thought that this is gains more benefits for Columbia the only methods.” 说道这里,艾米・帕斯卡尔顿了一下,给众人一个思索的机会,不等布朗特・科恩再次开口,接着道:“所以,我们现在应该做的,是尽力笼络艾瑞克・威廉姆斯,认真地将那份对赌协议执行下去,以显示哥伦比亚的诚意。《小鬼当家》票房超过五千万美元是肯定的,因此海外以及其他周边版权都将回到艾瑞克・威廉姆斯手上。更何况《小鬼当家》肯定会制作续集,我们这次保持良好的合作姿态,在制作续集的时候,我相信以艾瑞克・威廉姆斯的精明,肯定会继续与我们合作,我觉得,这是为哥伦比亚争取更多利益的唯一方法。” Amy Pascal said that in conference room other high levels cannot bear nod, Blunt although Cohen somewhat approves Amy viewpoint of Pascal, but remembers Amy Pascal and Jeffrey Hansson and Eric Williams possibly is friend's relations, the oversuspicious disposition makes him feel that Amy the suggestion of Pascal somewhat is partial to Eric. 艾米・帕斯卡尔说完,会议室里其他高层都忍不住点了点头,布朗特・科恩虽然有些认同艾米・帕斯卡尔的观点,不过想起艾米・帕斯卡尔与杰弗里・汉森和艾瑞克・威廉姆斯可能是朋友的关系,多疑的性格又让他觉得艾米・帕斯卡尔的建议有些偏向艾瑞克。 Therefore Blunt Cohen cannot bear opens the mouth to say once more: „Amy, you are the Columbia staff, must consider for the company as far as possible, always do not turn toward the bystander. If can find out the means to overthrow that to betting the agreement, gains more benefits for us, I am promoted to you immediately.” 于是布朗特・科恩忍不住再次开口道:“艾米,你是哥伦比亚的员工,要尽量为公司着想,不要总向着外人。如果能想出办法推翻那份对赌协议,为我们争取更多的利益,我立刻给你升职。” As if the several weeks ago scenes reappear, her trying hard works, does one's best to draw the high-quality movie project for the company, does one's best to supply ideas for the company, finally, was kicked the «Home Alone» team first, she thought that she needs to avoid suspicion, not complaint. Then because oneself is that erroneous decision only opponent is requested to speak, she proposed again thinks the reasonable suggestion, was questioned once again. 仿佛几周前的情景再现,她努力工作,尽心尽力为公司拉来优质的电影项目,尽心尽力为公司出谋划策,结果呢,先是被踢出了《小鬼当家》的项目组,她觉得自己需要避嫌,并无怨言。接着又因为自己是那次错误决策唯一的反对者而被要求发言,她再次提出了自认为合理的建议,却又一次受到质疑。 This lets Amy Pascal thinks somewhat coldly, the strong grievance direct impact forehead, she felt that the nose turns sour slightly, in the eye some type of liquid is hard to suppress to well up, the woman is the water does, she is only a woman. 这让艾米・帕斯卡尔觉得有些冷,强烈的委屈情绪直冲脑门,她感觉鼻子微微发酸,眼睛里某种液体难以抑制地涌出来,女人是水做的,她到底只是个女人。 Stands up suddenly, because the following chair her sudden movement was knocked in the place, sends out works as a bang. 猛然站起身,后面的椅子因为她突然的动作被撞翻在地,发出哐当一声巨响。 „Mr. Cohen, I resign!” “科恩先生,我辞职！” The cold female voice resounds in the conference room, spoke these words, Amy Pascal has not reorganized front document like the previous time, but turned around to leave the office directly. 冷冽的女声在会议室里响起,说完这句话,艾米・帕斯卡尔没有像上次那样整理面前的文件,而是直接转身离开了办公室。 „Went too far, went too far, she thinks that who she is?” Because the «Home Alone» matter is at Blunt of critical point Cohen has not reconsidered the wrong meaning completely, pounds on the table to erupt once more, turns around to say to behind assistant: „Notice security, makes that bitch get the hell out to me immediately, do not make me see her in Columbia Headquarters again.” “太过分了,真实太过分了,她以为她是谁？”因为《小鬼当家》的事情本来就处在临界点的布朗特・科恩完全没有反思自己错误的意思,再次拍桌子爆发出来,转身对身后的助理道:“通知保安,立刻让那个碧池给我滚蛋,不要让我再在哥伦比亚总部里看到她。” „Good, Mr. Cohen.” The assistants pinch the throat to comply in a soft voice, sets out to leave the conference room cautiously. “好的,科恩先生。”助理捏着嗓子轻声答应着,小心翼翼地起身离开会议室。 Has drunk coffee, has stabilized the mood, Blunt Cohen cold sound track: „Was good, continue, spunks up to me, otherwise I did not mind that today signs several dismissal documents again.” 喝了一口咖啡,稳定了一下情绪,布朗特・科恩冷声道:“好了,继续,都给我打起精神来,不然我不介意今天再签署几份解雇文件。” Although in the management many people thought that just Amy the suggestion of Pascal is most correct, after all can sit to this conference room in quite able occupation Manager person. However, Blunt Cohen fell into the middle of the mood of some hysteria thoroughly, at this time no one will take the dismissed risk, supports Amy suggestion of Pascal. 虽然高管里好多人都觉得,刚刚艾米・帕斯卡尔的建议才是最正确的,毕竟能坐到这间会议室里的都相当有能力的职业经理人。不过,布朗特・科恩已经彻底陷入某种歇斯底里的情绪当中,这时候谁也不会冒着被解雇的风险,去支持艾米・帕斯卡尔的建议。 Therefore, the management can only brace oneself to discuss, after several hours of discussion, the people discussed a countermeasure finally. 因此,高管们只能硬着头皮探讨起来,经过数个小时的商议,众人终于商讨出了一条对策。 As soon as the conference ended, Blunt Cohen said to the assistant impatiently: „Helps me relate Disney's Michael Mr. Eisner, I asked him to eat meal in the evening, said that some important matters discussed that about «Home Alone».” 会议一结束,布朗特・科恩迫不及待地对助理道:“帮我联系迪斯尼的迈克尔・艾斯纳先生,我晚上请他吃饭,就说有重要的事情商议,关于《小鬼当家》的。” „Good, Mr. Cohen.” The assistants felt that Blunt on Cohen that vicious tendencies after the conference vanished unexpectedly, relaxed at heart, so is no longer gingerly. “好的,科恩先生。”助理感觉布朗特・科恩身上那份戾气经过会议后竟然消失了,心里也松了一口气,不再那么战战兢兢。 ...... …… Next morning, «Home Alone» 27.55 million USD first week Box Office passes through newspaper to disclose that lets receive the massive attention Eric once more becomes the focal point of public opinion, if before the movie opens, many news about Eric is also only two big giants to propagandize the movie concocts, then now completely is the spontaneous action of media. 第二天早上,《小鬼当家》2755万美元的首周票房一经报纸披露出来,让本来就受到大量关注的艾瑞克再次成为舆论的焦点,如果电影上映之前,关于艾瑞克的很多新闻还只是两大巨头为了宣传电影炮制出来的话,那么现在完全就是媒体的自发行为。 In this case, the day before late at night returned to Los Angeles Eric, sleep woke up, discovered before did not have the main house gate that paparazzi wandered, has piled up with the reporter, good , can only with the pile be able to describe that the quantities of these people, crash-bang a piece, in the hand was taking various type long gun/spear short artillery. 这种情况下,前一天深夜才回到洛杉矶的艾瑞克,一觉醒来,发现本来已经没有狗仔转悠的家门前,已经堆满了记者,不错,也只能用堆才能形容这些人的数量,哗啦啦的一片,手里拿着各式长枪短炮。 Because of Columbia unintentional concealment, Eric does not have first to obtain the Box Office information about «Home Alone». But saw the flash of these reporters, Eric just knows, «Home Alone» Box Office explodes greatly. 因为哥伦比亚有意无意的隐瞒,艾瑞克没有第一时间得到关于《小鬼当家》的票房信息。但看到这些记者的一瞬间,艾瑞克就知道,《小鬼当家》的票房大爆了。 Although very grateful these reporters in this method ‚notice’, the desire that but Eric has not had to do with the reporter, has had the breakfast, touched the garage directly, planned to drive to run out of surrounding of reporter, went to Columbia Headquarters to find out the situation. 虽然很感激这些记者以这种方法‘通知’自己,不过艾瑞克还是没有与记者打交道的欲望,吃过早饭,直接摸进了车库,打算开车冲出记者的包围,去哥伦比亚总部了解一下情况。 However, obviously previous life Eric has not met so ‚scenery’ the way that the time, therefore deals with presented the mistake, car just left home, directly had been encircled watertight by one group of reporters, several reporters even crawled his car engine to cover, asked loudly, while was striking with force to driver seat on Eric unscrupulously. The reporters of other directions also crazily strike the vehicle door to shout all kinds of issues loudly. 不过,显然啊前世艾瑞克没有遇到过如此‘风光’的时刻,因此应对的方式出现了错误,汽车刚出家门,就直接被一堆记者围了个水泄不通,几个记者甚至爬到了他汽车的引擎盖上,一边大声发问,一边肆无忌惮地对着驾驶座上的艾瑞克猛拍。其他方向的记者也疯狂地敲打着车门大声喊着各式各样的问题。 „Mr. Eric, to «Home Alone» first week 27.55 million USD how your Box Office to see?” “艾瑞克先生,请问你对《小鬼当家》首周2755万美元的票房怎么看？” „Mr. Williams, you thought that «Home Alone» will surpass 《E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial》?” “威廉姆斯先生,你觉得《小鬼当家》会超过《ET》吗？” „Eric, according to betting agreement, you soon become the Hollywood youngest trillion rich and powerful people, after you had this sum of money, what will make?” “艾瑞克,根据对赌协议,你即将成为好莱坞最年轻的亿万富豪,你拥有了这笔钱之后,会做什么呢？” „Mr. Eric, I am the 《Los Angeles Times》 reporter, can make an interview to you?” “艾瑞克先生,我是《洛杉矶时报》的记者,可以给你做个专访吗？” „Eric......” “艾瑞克……” „......” “……” As if 10,000 character duck keeps shouting in own ear, although Eric hears 27.55 million USD first week Box Office to be somewhat excited, but more is actually anxious and restless, gathered round the car reporter to be too many, he does not dare to brace oneself to step on the accelerator, in front of car that fat Caucasian reporter is eager to try obviously, ‚sought the collision intersection toward’ numerous | trivial appearance. 仿佛一万字鸭子在自己耳边不停地叫嚷着,艾瑞克虽然听到2755万美元的首周票房有些兴奋,但更多的却是紧张和不安,围着汽车的记者太多了,他也不敢硬着头皮踩油门,汽车前面那个胖胖的白人记者明显跃跃欲试,一副‘求碰撞求交往’的猥丨琐模样。
