Eric sits the straight body to say slightly: „Mr. Eisner, please say.” 艾瑞克微微坐直身体道:“艾斯纳先生,请说。” Michael Eisner that the preparation opens the mouth actually produces hesitation that a crack micro could not be observed. In process that two people just chatted, not only Eric is good to his sense, similarly, impression of Michael Eisner to Eric is also good, he felt that he not likely was talking and immature young people, instead likely was chat between contemporaries. 准备开口的迈克尔艾斯纳却产生了一隙微不可察的迟疑。两个人刚刚聊天的过程中,不但艾瑞克对他的感官非常好,同样的,迈克尔艾斯纳对艾瑞克的印象也不错,他感觉自己不像是在跟一个稚嫩的年轻人在交谈,反而像是同龄人之间的聊天。 Remembers Eric in such a short time to make the so astonishing progress, Michael Eisner somewhat suspected one accept the Columbia condition, forming a partnership pit Eric these perhaps is not the great idea. This young people are 18 years old, the future is limitless, if because of this matter, becomes enemies with Eric, the probability that in the future both sides will cooperate will be definitely uncertain. 想起艾瑞克在这么短时间内取得如此惊人的成绩,迈克尔艾斯纳有些怀疑自己接受哥伦比亚的条件,合伙坑艾瑞克这一把或许并不是什么好主意。这个年轻人才18岁,前途不可限量,如果因为这次事情,与艾瑞克结仇,将来双方合作的几率肯定渺茫。 As superior, Michael Eisner without a doubt is a resolute person. Thinks the condition that Blunt Cohen pledges, Michael Eisner sets firm resolve once more. 作为一个上位者,迈克尔艾斯纳毫无疑问是一个果决的人。想想布朗特科恩开出的条件,迈克尔艾斯纳再次下定决心。 The success of «Home Alone» completely is a different number, at present can this young people also obtain the so dazzling success again not to mention, even if after him, as before splendid, Michael Eisner thought that in the face of enough benefit, both sides are likely cooperate, once was the matches of mortal enemy can make peace once more, let alone pit Eric mainly Columbia? 《小鬼当家》的成功完全就是一个异数,眼前这个年轻人还能不能再取得如此耀眼的成功暂且不说,即使他以后依旧出色,迈克尔艾斯纳觉得在足够利益面前,双方还是很可能合作的,很多曾经是死敌的对手都能再次言和,何况坑艾瑞克的主要还是哥伦比亚呢？ „Eric, the overseas distribution rights of Disney to «Home Alone» is interested very much, Disney principal to the movie of young people, we have the superiority in release of this kind of movie compared with other Film Studio. If gives Disney to distribute «Home Alone», I believe that the overseas can certainly obtain compared with a North America more splendid result.” “艾瑞克,迪斯尼对《小鬼当家》的海外发行权很感兴趣,迪斯尼主打的就是面向青少年的电影,我们在这类电影的发行方面比其他电影公司更有优势。如果将《小鬼当家》交给迪斯尼来发行,我相信海外一定能取得比北美更加出色的成绩的。” Eric asked calmly: „Mr. Eisner, can I know the Disney's offer?” 艾瑞克不动声色地问道:“艾斯纳先生,我可以知道迪斯尼的报价吗？” „12% overseas Box Office are divided, do you think what kind of?” “12%的海外票房分成,你觉得怎么样？” The Eric look moves slightly, asked back: „, Doesn't Disney want to sell outright?” 艾瑞克神色微微一动,反问道:“难道,迪斯尼不想买断么？” Michael Eisner shook the head, says with a smile: „Eric, you rather sign with Columbia to betting the agreement, is not willing to accept to sell outright. Therefore I did not waste the time in this aspect.” 迈克尔艾斯纳摇了摇头,笑道:“艾瑞克,你宁愿跟哥伦比亚签署对赌协议,都不愿意接受买断。所以我就不在这方面浪费时间了。” Eric nodded: „If so, this price is actually very reasonable. Columbia only started out 8% overseas to be divided to me.” 艾瑞克点了点头:“如果是这样的话,这个价格却是很合理。哥伦比亚只给我开出了8%的海外分成。” „Therefore , Disney has sincerity very much, hopes after us, can cooperate.” Michael Eisner smiles was then saying: „That, Eric, if you agree, I want to sign the license agreement as soon as possible, the overseas of movie screen am not easy like North America, after signing the agreement, at least requires one week of time to make the movie successively present externally in the theater. At the «Home Alone» present irritable degree, late a day screens, total Box Office possibly loses several million USD.” “所以说,迪斯尼是很有诚意的,希望我们以后还能够合作。”迈克尔艾斯纳微笑着接着道:“那么,艾瑞克,如果你同意的话,我想尽快签署授权协议,电影的海外上映可不像北美那么容易,签署协议后,至少要一周时间才能让电影陆续出现在国外影院里。以《小鬼当家》现在的火爆程度,晚一天上映,总票房可能损失几百万美元。” Opposite calmly listens to the Eric mind of Michael Eisner lobby the rapid analysis a series of clues, the corners of the mouth to bring back the smiling face that wipes to understand clearly suddenly, he somewhat is gradually transparent to the Columbia acrobatics, although is not quite wise, but, is very effective, does not pay attention possibly to fall into the trap slightly. 对面静静听着迈克尔艾斯纳游说的艾瑞克脑海中快速分析着一系列线索,嘴角突然勾起一抹了然的笑容,他渐渐对哥伦比亚的把戏有些明了,虽然不太高明,不过,却很有效,稍不注意就可能掉进陷阱里。 To understand these, Eric relaxes at heart finally, takes up front coffee cup, is stroking gently the exquisite ceramics gently, gains ground asks to Michael Eisner: „Mr. Eisner, if I agree, when we do sign?” 想明白了这些,艾瑞克心里终于放松下来,拿起面前的咖啡杯,轻轻摩挲着细腻的陶瓷,抬头向迈克尔艾斯纳问道:“艾斯纳先生,如果我同意的话,我们什么时候签约呢？” Although Michael Eisner notes the Eric expression to be somewhat unusual, but hears his words is one happy, said: „Naturally the quicker the better, I make the person draft the agreement as soon as possible, this afternoon can sign.” 迈克尔艾斯纳虽然注意到艾瑞克的表情有些异样,不过听到他的话还是一喜,道:“当然是越快越好,我让人尽快起草协议,今天下午就可以签约。” Puts down the coffee cup, Eric fixes the eyes on Michael Eisner saying: „, Mr. Eisner, are you watch the matter this appearance.” 放下咖啡杯,艾瑞克紧盯着迈克尔艾斯纳道:“那么,艾斯纳先生,你看事情是不是这个样子的。” „Un?” Michael Eisner is somewhat bewildered. “嗯？”迈克尔艾斯纳有些莫名其妙。 Eric said: „Columbia is not resigned to betting agreement, therefore had found you, starts out condition that certain has kept you from rejecting. Perhaps because of benefit, because perhaps you and Mr. Blunt Cohen are the good friends, therefore you agreed. Because does not know when you can convince me. For safety's sake, Columbia compresses the screening silver screen of second week to 1500, for this reason during not hesitating pays then screens , the condition of extra 100 silver screen.” 艾瑞克道:“哥伦比亚不甘心对赌协议,于是找到了你,开出了某些让你无法拒绝的条件。或许因为利益,或许因为你和布朗特科恩先生是好朋友,于是你同意了。因为不知道你何时能够说服我。为了保险起见,哥伦比亚将第二周的上映银幕压缩到1500块,为此不惜付出接下来上映期间额外100块银幕的条件。” Michael Eisner is listening to the Eric words, first is stunned, then reveals a forced smile, underestimated the present young people. 迈克尔艾斯纳听着艾瑞克的话,先是愕然,接下来露出一个苦笑,还是小看眼前的年轻人了。 Eric is very satisfied to the response of Michael Eisner , to continue saying: „Reason that pays such price, Columbia to retard «Home Alone» Box Office is the 50 million USD deadline, wins many lobby time for you. Because our to betting agreement, if finally in Box Office 50 million USD, «Home Alone» all copyright belong to Columbia, now Box Office has not achieved 50 million USD, «Home Alone» other copyright also belongs to betting the content. If I have signed the license agreement with Disney rashly, is I breaks a contract, Columbia can violate the gambling to make content on the grounds of me righteously, tears to betting the agreement, you said I said right?” 艾瑞克对迈克尔艾斯纳的反应很满意,继续道:“之所以付出这样的代价,哥伦比亚就是为了延迟《小鬼当家》票房达到5000万美元的期限,为你争取更多的游说时间。因为我们的对赌协议,如果最终票房5000万美元以内,《小鬼当家》所有版权归属哥伦比亚,现在票房还没有达到5000万美元,《小鬼当家》的其他所有版权都还属于对赌内容。如果我贸然跟迪斯尼签署了授权协议,那么就是我率先违约,哥伦比亚就可以理直气壮地以我违反赌约内容为由,撕毁对赌协议,你说我说的对吗？” If the entire item matter has nothing to do with oneself, by the Michael Eisner disposition, hears the splendid analysis of Eric, definitely will directly clap the hands and shout praise. Now, Michael Eisner can only show an awkward smiling face. 如果整件事与自己无关,以迈克尔艾斯纳的性格,听到艾瑞克的精彩分析,肯定会直接拍手叫好。现在,迈克尔艾斯纳只能露出一个略带尴尬的笑容。 Eric stands up: „I think will that we have not continued to discuss, Mr. Eisner.” 艾瑞克站起身:“我想我们没有继续谈下去的必要了吧,艾斯纳先生。” Michael Eisner also sets out saying: „Truly has not needed, Eric, but I must say that before chatted with you are very happy, hopes, we can have the opportunity cooperation.” 迈克尔艾斯纳也跟着起身道:“确实没有必要了,艾瑞克,但我还是要说,之前跟你聊天很愉快,希望以后我们能有机会合作。” „Perhaps.” Eric nodded, since the opposite party does not have pit to arrive at itself, Eric will not get angry with film giants face to face: „Can Mr. Eisner, what condition tell me Columbia to pledge to you?” “或许吧。”艾瑞克点了点头,既然对方没有坑到自己,艾瑞克也不会与一个电影巨头当面翻脸:“艾斯纳先生,能告诉我哥伦比亚给你开出什么条件吗？” Michael Eisner shook the head: „Eric, this is business secret.” 迈克尔艾斯纳摇了摇头:“艾瑞克,这是商业机密。” Eric shows neither approval nor disapproval, said: „That, can Mr. Eisner, make the driver deliver me to go back?” 艾瑞克不置可否,道:“那么,艾斯纳先生,可以让司机送我回去吗？” „Naturally does not have the issue,” Michael Eisner waved to not far away assistant, has exhorted several. “当然没问题,”迈克尔艾斯纳向不远处的助理招了招手,嘱咐了几句。 Eric just went out of Hilton Hotel, waited to encircle outside more than ten reporters rapidly, they had understood that through various types of channels Eric was just meeting with Disney Chairman Michael Eisner, therefore anticipated very much can interview their meeting content. 艾瑞克刚刚走出希尔顿酒店,等在外面的十多个记者迅速围了过来,他们已经通过各种渠道了解到艾瑞克刚刚在与迪士尼总裁迈克尔艾斯纳会面,于是很期待能采访到两人的会面内容。 Sees the reporter to throw, the Hilton's security rapid has protected Eric, the Michael Eisner driver is just about to protect Eric to walk toward the parking lot, Eric actually stopped. 看到记者扑过来,希尔顿的保安迅速将艾瑞克保护了起来,迈克尔艾斯纳的司机正要护着艾瑞克向停车场走去,艾瑞克却停了下来。 The reporters were separated by the security, thinks disappointedly Eric not making a sound will leave once more, has not thought that Eric actually stops the footsteps, the reporters holds up camera and sound recording hastily. 记者们被保安隔开,本来失望地以为艾瑞克会再次不声不响离开,没想到艾瑞克却停下脚步,记者们连忙举起相机和录音器。 „Eric, what did you and Mr. Michael Eisner chat?” “艾瑞克,请问你和迈克尔艾斯纳先生聊了些什么？” „Is related with «Home Alone»?” “跟《小鬼当家》有关么？” „Eric, your current two films to young people audience, with Disney the management objective agrees with very much, can you join Disney?” “艾瑞克,你目前的两部电影作品都是面向青少年观众的,与迪士尼的的经营宗旨很契合,你是不是要加入迪士尼了？” „Eric...” “艾瑞克…” „...” “…” Eric had not replied that the issue of reporters, both hands press, hint the people peaceful, then said: „Did everybody listen to me to say several?” 艾瑞克没有回答记者们的问题,双手压了压,示意众人安静,然后道:“大家听我说几句好吗？” Since Eric is willing to open the mouth on own initiative, reporters are quickly peaceful. 既然艾瑞克肯主动开口,记者们很快安静下来。 „Just Mr. Eisner asked me to eat meal, we truly chatted something, as for the specific content, not convenient disclosed to everybody here. However we chat happily, perhaps in the future will have much the possibility of cooperation.” “刚刚艾斯纳先生请我吃饭,我们确实聊了一些事情,至于具体内容,在这里不方便向大家透露。不过我们聊得很愉快,或许将来有合作的可能性。” Saw with own eyes that the reporters have not obtained the thing of wish, moves restlessly once more, Eric said hastily: „Everybody should not be anxious, actually, I want to make everybody help me issue a statement.” 眼见记者们没有得到想要的东西,再次躁动起来,艾瑞克连忙道:“大家不要急,其实,我是想让大家帮我发表一个声明。” Some reporters doubts, but several intelligent reporters felt keenly the Eric following words is a heavy pound news, spunks up hastily, lifts sound recording in hand before. 记者们都有些疑惑,不过几个聪明的记者敏锐地感觉到了艾瑞克接下来的话将是一条重磅新闻,连忙打起精神,将手中的录音器举得更加靠前。 „First, I thanked the Columbia Film Studio help to distribute my movie «Home Alone» very much. However...” “首先,我很感谢哥伦比亚电影公司帮忙发行我的电影《小鬼当家》。但是…” The Eric facial color becomes serious: „I must say, that because signed before to betting agreement, I obtain will be divided anticipated will be much higher than Columbia Corporation, but that will be I should obtain, I will have a clear conscience. Moreover, if then conscientiously implements agreement, Columbia will obtain near 50 million USD North America Box Office as before is divided, this occupies the Columbia whole year Box Office profit 50% result sufficiently many to admire. Therefore, I warned certain people seriously, please receive your greedy, do not resort to certain inferior methods to attempt to tear again to betting the agreement, and strict continued to distribute «Home Alone» according to the agreement content. If the Columbia aspect violates once more to betting the agreement, I did not mind that | on sees with your court. Although I am very in your eyes small and weak, but I believe that in the face of federal law, we are equal. If you thought that «Home Alone» and success of «17 Again» is also not enough to prove anything, our below movies see, all has been said that puts best into it.” 艾瑞克的面色变得严肃起来:“我要说,因为之前签署的那份对赌协议,我获得的分成预期将远远高于哥伦比亚公司,但那都是我应该得到的,我问心无愧。而且,接下来如果认真履行协议,哥伦比亚依旧会获得将近5000万美元的北美票房分成,这份占去哥伦比亚全年票房利润的一半的成绩足以让很多人艳羡。所以,我郑重警告某些人,请收起你的贪婪,不要再耍某些低劣的手段企图撕毁对赌协议,并严格按照协议内容继续发行《小鬼当家》。如果哥伦比亚方面再次违反对赌协议,我不介意与你们法庭丨上见。虽然我在你们眼里还很弱小,但我相信在联邦法律面前,我们是平等的。如果你们觉得《小鬼当家》和《重返十七岁》的成功还不足以证明什么,那么,我们下部电影见,言尽于此,好自为之。” The Eric words just said that a surrounding reporter piece loudly. 艾瑞克话刚刚说完,周围的记者一片轰然。 „Eric, can say is more concrete?” “艾瑞克,能说的具体一些吗？” „Eric, your below movie had to plan, can say the theme?” “艾瑞克,你下部电影已经有计划了,可以说说题材吗？” „Eric, do you and meeting of Mr. Michael Eisner, attempt to tear up the agreement to be concerned with Columbia?” “艾瑞克,你与迈克尔艾斯纳先生的会面,与哥伦比亚企图撕毁协议有关吗？” „Eric...” “艾瑞克…” „...” “…” Eric said that in creating an uproar sound, under escorting of security, arrived at the parking lot to seat car silent directly. 艾瑞克说完,在哄闹声中,沉默地在保安的护送下,直接来到停车场坐进了轿车。
