Negotiated to encounter in the film and television copyright aspect two people of novel. 艾瑞克并没有在版税分成上面纠缠,拿了一个新人普遍的7%的版税分成。只是在小说的影视版权方面两个人谈判交锋了一番。 By the Michael employed ten years of vicious visions, can certainly see great potential of this novel in film and television reorganization. In addition Eric not above the royalty is divided raises any objection, this makes Michael think that Eric is very young is very good to coax, therefore proposed Night Elf and Eric share film and television copyright, and plan that the film and television copyright plenary powers junction is acted by Night Elf Publishing House. 以迈克尔从业十余年的老辣眼光,当然看得出这部小说在影视改编方面的巨大潜力。加上艾瑞克并没有在版税分成上面提出任何异议,这让迈克尔觉得艾瑞克很年轻很好忽悠,因此提出了夜色精灵与艾瑞克共享影视版权,并且影视版权全权交由夜色精灵出版社代理的方案。 Listens to the plan that Michael proposed patiently, Eric refused to say categorically: „This is impossible, Mr. Claus.” 耐心地听完迈克尔提出的方案,艾瑞克斩钉截铁地拒绝道:“这不可能,克劳斯先生。” Michael Claus stares, as if somewhat cannot respond regarding the Eric such decisive rejection, has adjusted the mood, Michael Claus then said: „Eric, listening to me saying that you know, I just had sold to 20th Century Fox our Publishing House novel, that was over a million reorganization expenses. If were discussed by that author, perhaps linked 50 ten thousand USD unable to attain, this was the superiority of Publishing House proxy......” 迈克尔・克劳斯一愣,似乎对于艾瑞克这样果断的拒绝有些反应不过来,调整了一下情绪,迈克尔・克劳斯接着道:“艾瑞克,听我说,你知道的,我刚刚将我们出版社的一部小说卖给了二十世纪福克斯,那可是上百万的改编费用。而如果由那位作者自己去谈的话,或许连50万美金都拿不到,这就是出版社代理的优势……” The following two people also discussed more than ten minutes, Michael the Claus tongue Can Lianhuade wants to coax Eric to accept own condition, and reduced Publishing House on own initiative in film and television copyright above share. 接下来两个人又谈了十多分钟,迈克尔・克劳斯舌灿莲花地想要忽悠艾瑞克接受自己的条件,并且主动降低了出版社在影视版权上面的分成。 Finally, Michael Claus discovered disappointedly that this kid where is a youth of making a debut, walks into the social more than ten years of slippery customers like him simply, although curved circles to various of publishing circle is not too familiar, but can actually realize keenly seems like in the liberal condition the hidden profound and abstruse principles. 最后,迈克尔・克劳斯失望地发现,这个小家伙哪里是一个初出茅庐的愣头青啊,简直是像他一样走入社会十多年的老油条,虽然对出版界的各种弯弯绕绕不是太熟悉,不过却能敏锐地察觉一些看似优渥的条件里面暗藏的玄机。 Those who make Michael surprised is, this young people not like this ages young people impulsive, even if had discovered the trap does not have to refer to straightforwardly, or simply warm-blooded above one pats two powder, but the trace place suggested one understood snare. 更让迈克尔惊讶的是,这个年轻人一点也不像这个年龄段年轻人那样冲动,即使发现了陷阱也没有直截了当地指出来,或者干脆热血上头一拍两散,而是不着痕迹地暗示自己明白了其中的圈套。 Finally, Michael smiled bitterly is giving up meddling the plan of «Jurassic Park» film and television copyright. 最终,迈克尔苦笑着放弃了插手《侏罗纪公园》影视版权的计划。 The following negotiations naturally open access, two people have signed the cooperation agreement quickly. 接下来的谈判自然畅通无阻,两个人很快签订了合作协议。 „Cooperation is happy, Eric, believes that you will not regret gives me to operate «Jurassic Park».” After signing the contract, Michael turned into that to have the books makings, let the person uncle, if washed the spring breeze, as if when just negotiated on face astute with cunning was the illusion is the same. “合作愉快,艾瑞克,相信你不会后悔将《侏罗纪公园》交给我来操作的。”签完合约之后,迈克尔又变成了那个带着书卷气质,让人如沐春风的大叔,似乎刚刚谈判时脸上的精明和狡黠都是幻觉一样。 „Cooperation is happy, Michael, I also hope such.” “合作愉快,迈克尔,我也希望那样。” Two people shook hand, sits down respectively, chatted several, Eric as if careless said: „Michael, do you have the personal connection in these Film Studio?” 两个人握了握手,各自坐下,又聊了几句,艾瑞克似乎漫不经心道:“迈克尔,你在那些电影公司里有人脉吗？” Michael Claus raised the eyebrow: „Naturally, otherwise do I recommend my Publishing House that novel to 20th Century Fox? Person who actually I have the understanding in other Film Studio, you know, I when Simon Shuster Publishing House, once was responsible for after a period of time with cooperation of Film Studio in books copyright aspect. Therefore, Eric, gives Night Elf «Jurassic Park» film and television copyright, I can recommend the novel to the Six Great Film Studios producer directly.” 迈克尔・克劳斯挑了挑眉:“当然,要不然我怎么将我出版社那本小说推荐给二十世纪福克斯呢？其实我在其他一些电影公司也有认识的人,你知道,我在西蒙舒斯特出版社的时候,曾经负责过一段时间与电影公司在图书版权方面的合作。所以,艾瑞克,将《侏罗纪公园》的影视版权交给夜色精灵吧,我可以直接将小说推荐给六大电影公司的制片人。” Eric shook the head saying: „This issue we do not discuss, Michael, «Jurassic Park» film and television copyright I will not resign tiny bit. However, I am completing script now, if possible, I hope that you can help me recommend.” 艾瑞克摇了摇头道:“这个问题我们还是不要谈了,迈克尔,《侏罗纪公园》的影视版权我是不会让出一分一毫的。但是,我现在正在完成一个剧本,如果可以的话,我希望你能帮我推荐一下。” Michael hope that Claus just ignited extinguishes once again, hears script that Eric said that is not interested, but stems from the politeness patiently saying: „Can say the script approximate plot?” 迈克尔・克劳斯刚刚燃起的希望再度熄灭,听到艾瑞克所说的剧本,并不是太感兴趣,不过出于礼貌还是耐心道:“可以说说剧本的大致情节吗？” „Is this,” Eric reorganized the train of thought: „18 years ago, 17-year-old Mike O'Donnell will soon participate regarding other people says a very important basketball game since birth, so long as because he does well, will obtain the admittance qualifications of ivy league, and is supplementing the rich scholarship. However, before the competition, his girlfriend told him to be pregnant suddenly, therefore, on the way of the competition, Mike discarded the basketball in hand to turn around to leave the athletic field resolutely, chose to shoulder own responsibility. 18 years later, passing glory and scenery go with the wind, Mike has become a middle-aged person of enterprise failure, soon will come simultaneously to the end with the wife Scarlet's marriage......” “是这样的,”艾瑞克整理了一下思绪道:“18年前,17岁的麦克奥唐纳即将参加对于他人生来说很重要的一场篮球比赛,因为只要他表现出色,就会获得常青藤盟校的入学资格,并附带着丰厚的奖学金。但是,比赛之前,他的女朋友突然告诉他自己怀孕了,于是,比赛途中,麦克毅然扔掉了手中的篮球转身离开赛场,选择了担负起自己的责任。18年后,过往的荣耀和风光随风而去,麦克成了一个事业失败的中年人,同时与妻子斯嘉丽的婚姻也即将走到尽头……” Eric has not spoken too many details, but narrated the story briefly, after he hears Mr. and Mrs. Runkle's quarrel, quick has thought «17 Again», must realize own plan, this movie is appropriate. A 17 years old of young human body Inner Tibet the middle-aged uncle's soul, this is customizing for Eric simply. 艾瑞克并没有讲太多细节,只是将故事简要叙述了一遍,他听到朗克尔夫妇的争吵之后,很快就想到了《重返十七岁》,要实现自己的计划,这部电影再合适不过了。一个17岁年轻人体内藏着中年大叔的灵魂,这简直是为艾瑞克量身定做的啊。 Micheal Klaus eye of audit more comes to be approximately bright, he very much favored Eric this young people, has not actually thought that attained «Jurassic Park» this novel, Eric has given immediately his another pleasant surprise. 旁听的迈克尔克劳斯眼睛越来约亮,他本来就很看好艾瑞克这个年轻人,却没想到才拿到《侏罗纪公园》这部小说,艾瑞克立刻就给了他另外一个惊喜。 Passes through Back to the Future or changes body kind of movie, these years just emerged, are not in flood like the later generation, therefore want the movie quality to be good, usually can obtain good Box Office. 穿越过去回到未来或者变身这类电影,这些年才刚刚兴起,不像后世那么泛滥,所以只要电影质量不错,通常都能取得不错的票房。 Did not say that 1985 year Box Office champion «Back to the Future», this year, two this kind of movies has obtained good Box Office merely, one was April «of Returns 18 Years old of», another screened for two weeks, has recouped the cost, finally Box Office possible hundred million «Big», this movie also caused Penny Marshall became in the North America shade history first Box Office hundred million female Director. 不说1985年的年度票房冠军《回到未来》,仅仅是今年,就有两部此类电影已经取得了不错的票房,一部是四月份的《重返18岁》,另一部是才上映两周,就已经收回成本,最终票房可能过亿的《飞越未来》,这部电影也使得潘妮・马歇尔成为北美影史上第一位票房过亿的女导演。 „This is good script, Eric. But you did not think that these year of this crossing over space and time type movies were too many? Let alone you are only one do not have the fame new person.” In order to attain the negotiations initiative, Michael naturally must act bashful slightly, just made him have a frustration about the «Jurassic Park» film and television copyright above negotiations. “这是个不错的剧本,艾瑞克。但你不觉得这些年这种穿越时空类型的电影已经太多了吗？何况你只是一个毫无名气的新人。”为了拿到谈判的主动权,迈克尔当然要稍微拿捏一下,刚刚关于《侏罗纪公园》影视版权上面的谈判让他有一种挫败感。 Eric shows a faint smile, naturally could see that Michael is coquettish, stretches out five fingers straightforwardly: „50% commissions!” 艾瑞克微微一笑,当然看得出迈克尔在故作姿态,直接了当地伸出五根手指:“五成佣金！” „What?” Michael is somewhat unbelievable, this fellow suddenly so is natural, won't be will misunderstand? “什么？”迈克尔有些难以置信,这家伙怎么突然那么大方,不会是自己听错了吧？ Eric repeatedly said: „Michael, you have not misunderstood, if script sells successfully, I can 50% of script payment for published piece be the commission to you! However, do I have a condition?” 艾瑞克重复道:“迈克尔,你没听错,如果剧本成功卖出去,我可以给你剧本稿酬的五成作为佣金！不过,我有一个条件？” The lunch that really the world has not eaten without paying, Michael hears the Eric last few words, relaxed slightly, the matter as if returned to the original track to come up, opposite that astute kid. 果然天下没有白吃的午餐,迈克尔听到艾瑞克最后一句话,微微松了一口气,事情似乎回到原来的轨道上来了,对面还是那个精明的小家伙。 „Said that looks?” “说说看？” „I must work as the actor of this movie, is Mike of youthful days O'Donnell.” “我要当这部电影的男主角,也就是青年时期的麦克・奥唐纳。” „This is impossible.” Michael subconscious tunnel: „Not necessarily has the decision movie character authority Director, do not say your new person screenwriter.” “这不可能。”迈克尔下意识地道:“连导演都不一定有决定电影角色的权力,更不要说你一个新人编剧了。” „In the remote East, the idiom, is called to plan matters in the person, the heaven disposes.” Eric said: „If you do not attempt, how to know that impossible, let alone, along with «Leap In the future» screening of, this possibility will become greatly.” “在遥远的东方,有一句成语,叫做谋事在人,成事在天。”艾瑞克说道:“如果你不尝试一下,如何知道不可能的,更何况,随着《飞跃未来》的上映,这种可能性会变得更大。” Michael Claus somewhat cannot make a turn: „What relations does this have with «Big»?” 迈克尔・克劳斯有些转不过弯:“这跟《飞越未来》有什么关系？” Eric mixed front just hot coffee but actually to say with the soupspoon careless: „I thought that this movie very possible Box Office hundred million, in this case, regarding a same type, moreover perhaps script enough outstanding script, some people will consider that my condition is uncertain.” 艾瑞克漫不经心地用汤匙搅动着面前刚刚倒的热咖啡道:“我觉得,这部电影很可能票房过亿,如果这样的话,对于一部同类型,而且剧本足够优秀的剧本,也许会有人考虑我的条件也不一定呢。” Michael Claus has not watched «Big» this movie, but has believed Eric words, said: „Good, Eric, I can try, but commission......” 迈克尔・克劳斯并没有看过《飞越未来》这部电影,不过还是相信了艾瑞克的话,说道:“好吧,艾瑞克,我可以试试,不过佣金方面……” „Michael, you were too greedy, you want to take are more than my this original author!” “迈克尔,你太贪心了,难道你想拿的比我这个原作者还多！” Michael also touches nose with the index finger, unusual embarrassment: „You have not said is so serious, if you have worked as the actor, even if the new person, salary also about 500,000, but script I thought that can attain 200,000 to be good.” 迈克尔也不由用食指摸了摸鼻子,少有的不好意思:“没你说的那么严重吧,而且如果你当了男主角,就算是新人,片酬也在500000左右呢,而剧本我觉得能拿到200000就不错了。” Although said that Michael Claus again has not actually raised the commission matter, when outside the coffee shop said goodbye, Michael Claus said suddenly: „Actually, Eric, I have an misconception, you truly suit the role of your script actor. Because, just discussed contract time, I thought that is the contemporaries is negotiating completely, but is not a 18-year-old high-school student.” 虽然这么说,迈克尔・克劳斯却并没有再提佣金方面事情,在咖啡店外告别的时候,迈克尔・克劳斯突然说道:“其实,艾瑞克,我有一种错觉,你确实适合你那个剧本男主角的角色。因为,刚刚谈合约的时候,我就觉得完全是和同龄人在谈判,而不是一个18岁的高中生。” Eric smiles: „Do not care about these details, Michael, two days I have given you script, hopes that you can bring the news to me.” 艾瑞克嘿嘿一笑:“不要在意这些细节,迈克尔,过两天我将剧本交给你,希望你能给我带来好消息。”
