Kapoor Sid complies, both sides start to discuss that purchase plan, looks like in Eric, Sid Brokerage Firm most valuable is also only Kapoor Sid I. 卡普尔希德答应下来,双方开始商讨起了收购方案,在艾瑞克看来,希德经纪公司最有价值的也只是卡普尔希德本人。 Although Kapoor is not Creative Artists Agency initiates one of the five people of groups, but the ability is not worse than them many. In the company other 78 manager and more than 20 not popular Actor basically do not have any value, at least before Eric purchases does not have any value. 卡普尔虽然不是CAA创始五人小组之一,但能力并不比他们差多少。公司里剩余的78个经纪人和20多个不入流的演员基本上没什么价值,至少在艾瑞克收购之前没什么价值。 Sid Brokerage Firm has first-class Actor, because of the Michael Ovitz reason, several well-known Actor insisted after some time, has to choose to leave. Finally remains , is really because could not find a better outlet, after all, Kapoor is very able, although Actor over under is very difficult under the Creative Artists Agency shadow, actually also can always , in some alone | sets up in the movie or TV series receives the role. 希德经纪公司不是没有过一流的演员,但因为迈克尔奥维茨的缘故,几个知名演员坚持一段时间后不得不选择离开。最后留下来的,也实在是因为找不到更好的出路,毕竟,卡普尔还是很有能力的,手下的演员虽然在CAA的阴影下很难出头,却也总能在一些独丨立电影或者电视剧里接到角色。 „Eric, 1 million USD, I am very difficult to accept...” Some Kapoor discontented Eric initial prices, in Creative Artists Agency, his yearly salary incessantly 1 million USD. “艾瑞克,一百万美元,我很难接受…”卡普尔有些不满艾瑞克的开价,在CAA的时候,他的年薪都不止一百万美元。 Eric said unhurriedly: „Kapoor, your Brokerage Firm valuable is also only that more than 20 Actor broker contract, these do not have many significances to me. If I want, Actor of that rank I momentarily can find several hundred.” 艾瑞克不慌不忙道:“卡普尔,你的经纪公司有价值的也只是那20多个演员的经纪合约,这些对我没有多少意义。如果我愿意,那种等级的演员我随时能找到几百个。” Kapoor refuted: „Eric, they are very splendid Actor, has made these many year of manager, my vision will definitely not miss, they lack the opportunity.” 卡普尔反驳道:“艾瑞克,他们都是很出色的演员,做了这么多年经纪人,我的眼光肯定不会差,他们只是缺少机会而已。” „All lacks the opportunity in Actor that the Hollywood floor struggles, Kapoor, that 1 million can say that is I gives you completely, moreover gave back to you to leave behind 10% stockholder's rights, believed for several years later you will certainly discover one took advantage, as for them, I can give, was their long-awaited opportunities.” “所有在好莱坞底层挣扎的演员都只是缺少机会,卡普尔,那一百万可以说完全是我给你个人的,而且还给你留下了10％的股权,相信几年后你一定会发现自己占了大便宜,至于他们,我可以给予的,就是他们梦寐以求的机会。” Kapoor knows what Eric said is fact, sighed, slight bow. 卡普尔知道艾瑞克说的是事实,叹了口气,微微点了点头。 Since came to an arrangement, both sides signed the contract quickly, Brokerage Firm have changed the master, the name must certainly revise, Eric not good used ‚to unite elite Brokerage Firm’ very much this name, the abbreviation was United Talent Agency, namely previous life and Creative Artists Agency, William Morris Agency and other one of the giant compound Hollywood 5 Great Brokerage Firms departments, previous life United Talent Agency was tenable in 1991. 既然已经谈妥,双方很快签订了合约,经纪公司换了主人,名字肯定要修改,艾瑞克很无良地用了‘联合精英经纪公司’这个名字,缩写为UTA,即前世与CAA,WMA等巨头并列的好莱坞五大经纪公司之一,不过前世的UTA在1991年才成立。 Finished these matters already to noon, had the lunch, Eric has followed Kapoor Sid to arrive at business location of Sid Brokerage Firm situated in Burbank, Kapoor Sid here has only rented several offices, appeared very poor. 忙完这些事情已经到了中午,吃过午餐,艾瑞克就跟随卡普尔希德来到希德经纪公司位于伯班克的办公地点,卡普尔希德只在这里租了几间办公室,显得很寒酸。 However at this time in the office has actually been filled with the person, they also knew today regarding this Brokerage Firm, is a special day. 不过此时办公室里却挤满了人,他们也知道了今天对于这家经纪公司来说,是一个特殊日子。 Eric sees these to look the anticipation manager and Actor, suddenly remembers an issue, but nodded to the people, was drawing Jeffrey and Kapoor entered an independent office, asked: „Kapoor, how many now does pulling out of your Brokerage Firm become is?” 艾瑞克看到这些面露期待的经纪人和演员,突然想起一个问题,只是对众人点了点头,便拉着杰弗里和卡普尔进入了一间单独的办公室,问道:“卡普尔,现在你经纪公司的抽成是多少？” „6%.” “6吧。” „Are so few?” Eric is somewhat surprised: „Isn't 10%?” “这么少？”艾瑞克有些惊讶:“不是10吗？” Jeffrey inserts the tastes: „Before that Eric, you said is very long.” 杰弗里插口道:“艾瑞克,你说的那是很久以前了。” Kapoor also explained: „Since... After Creative Artists Agency to compete to break away from this convention, share of Brokerage Firm is getting more and more low. Especially our these small Brokerage Firm, receive 10% shares not to be impossible. Now has the energy to receive 10% to pull out, only then Creative Artists Agency and William Morris Agency two, after Creative Artists Agency rises, besides pulling out to become Jiaodi of these big stars, restored 10% shares to these two third-class young stars.” 卡普尔也跟着解释道:“自从…CAA为了竞争打破了这个惯例之后,经纪公司的分成越来越低。特别是我们这些小型的经纪公司,收10的分成根本不可能。现在有底气收10抽成的,只有CAA和WMA两家,CAA崛起之后,除了那些大牌明星的抽成较低外,对那些二三流的小明星又恢复了10的分成。” Eric considers the moment, said: „Revises the agreement, enhances to pull out to 10%.” 艾瑞克思虑片刻,道:“修改协议吧,提高抽成到10。” „Eric, is this somewhat improper?” Kapoor has not replied, Jeffrey could not bear the opposition say. “艾瑞克,这样有些不妥吧？”卡普尔还没有答话,杰弗里已经忍不住反对道。 Eric explained: The words that „now does not revise, wait for Brokerage Firm to develop, enhances to pull out to affect again is bigger, therefore... Did anyone of you announce?” 艾瑞克解释道:“现在不修改的话,等经纪公司发展起来,再提高抽成影响更大,所以…你们谁来宣布？” Jeffrey and Kapoor have looked at each other one, changes Eric the vision as if by prior agreement. 杰弗里和卡普尔对视了一眼,不约而同将目光转向艾瑞克。 „Volume, good, this unprincipled person I does.” “额,好吧,这个坏人我来做。” ... … „Does not need me to introduce that everybody definitely knows who I was. Now I formally announced that into this Brokerage Firm new host, the company changes name is United Talent Agency. My next movie in the new year starting, so long as your image is appropriate, and through the screen test, will obtain the first role in movie. «Home Alone» as we all know, Stewart Runkle and Matthew Perry of these people legal proceeding, now became the stars of wielding great power with great arrogance, other can only play the TV series supporting role because also has participated performance «Home Alone», marches the big silver screen smoothly.” “不用我介绍,大家肯定都知道我是谁了。现在我正式宣布成为这家经纪公司的新主人,公司改名为UTA。我的下一部影片新年后开机,只要你们形象合适并且通过试镜,将优先获得影片里的角色。《小鬼当家》大家都知道,原本籍籍无名的斯图尔特朗克尔和马修派瑞这些人,现在都已经成为了炙手可热的明星,其他一些原本只能演电视剧的配角也因为参演了《小鬼当家》,顺利进军大银幕。” Saw the joy at present in people expression not mincing, Eric knows the upholstery has sufficed, then a thread of conversation revolution, said: „But, I am a capitalist, is not the philanthropist. I gave you in the past the opportunity that was difficult to have, needs to receive the repayment. Therefore, the company Actor contract needs to revise, pulls out to enhance to 10%, if some people thought that is hard to accept, can choose to terminate an agreement to leave.” 看到眼前众人表情里毫不掩饰的欣喜,艾瑞克知道铺垫够了,接着话锋一转,道:“但是,我是资本家,不是慈善家。我给予你们以往很难获得的机会,同时也需要收到回报。所以,原本公司演员的合约需要重新修改,抽成提高到10,如果有人觉得难以接受的话,可以选择解约离开。” Eric said that turns around to return to office once more, considers the time to the people, he believes that wants these person of intelligence quotients to be normal, will not choose in this time leaves. 艾瑞克说完转身再次回到办公室,给众人一些考虑时间,他相信只要这些人智商正常,都不会选择在这个时间离开。 In the office, Jeffrey and Kapoor were discussing the arrangement of 《Pretty Woman》. 办公室里,杰弗里和卡普尔已经在讨论起了《风月俏佳人》的筹备。 „Eric, Jeffrey said that you do want to invite Sophie Marceau to make Heroine?” Kapoor asked. “艾瑞克,杰弗里说你想要邀请苏菲玛索做女主角？”卡普尔问道。 Eric nodded: „Yes, has the issue?” 艾瑞克点了点头:“是啊,有问题吗？” Kapoor said: „If you want to begin shooting in the new year, I urged you to change players. Because must go to the Europe development, these days I watch that side news very much, Sophie Marceau in the shoots Andrzej Żuławski new piece, at the progress of Andre shoots movie, your 《Pretty Woman》 has screened, he may not heat bamboo strips for writing material.” 卡普尔道:“如果你想在过完新年开拍的话,我劝你还是换人吧。因为本来要去欧洲发展,这段时间我很关注那边的消息,苏菲玛索正在拍摄安德烈佐拉斯基的新片,以安德烈拍摄电影的进度,就算你的《风月俏佳人》上映了,他都不一定能杀青。” Eric recalled, calculates according to the time that Sophie estimated was jokingly called by some audiences in shoots that for 《My Nights Are More Beautiful Than Your Days》 of extraterrestrial movie. The name is very beautiful, the content somewhat is actually unintelligible, but also truly is the Żuławski consistent style. 艾瑞克回忆了一下,按照时间来算,苏菲估计在拍摄那部被有些观众戏称为外星电影的《我的夜晚比你的白天更美》。名字很美,内容却有些不知所云,不过也确实是佐拉斯基一贯的风格。 „That uses Julia Roberts, Kapoor, I hope that you can make Julia's manager personally.” “那就用茱莉亚罗伯茨吧,卡普尔,我希望你能亲自做茱莉亚的经纪人。” Jeffrey urged again: „Eric, you should know that your this movie cannot be defeated, now many people wait to look at your joke, therefore...” 杰弗里再次劝道:“艾瑞克,你应该知道,你这部电影不能失败,现在很多人都等着看你的笑话,所以还是…” „Jeffrey, I know your meaning, but,” Eric smiled, said: „Haven't you looked on these newspaper to say? By fame that my first two movies accumulate, even if the new movie cranks up lump of excrement, can make money. Therefore, so long as the movie quality does not have issue, wants to be defeated is very difficult, why not then we took advantage that this opportunity does hold an own star?” “杰弗里,我知道你的意思,不过,”艾瑞克笑了笑,道:“难道你没看那些报纸上说吗？以我前两部电影积累的名气,哪怕新电影拍成一坨屎,都能够赚到钱。所以,只要电影质量没问题,想失败都很难,那么我们何不趁这个机会捧出一个自己的女星呢？” „If that Julia Roberts doesn't develop well?” “万一那个茱莉亚罗伯茨演不好呢？” In the Eric smiling face is bringing the dim daylight of difference dark |: „Relax, I meet after the wedding the self-modulation | to teach her.” 艾瑞克笑容里带着异样的暧丨昧:“放心,我会亲自调丨教她的。” ... … Does not leave Eric to expect, Brokerage Firm these Actor choices have not left, accepts the new contract plan that Eric proposed. 不出艾瑞克所料,经纪公司这些演员没有一个选择离开的,都接受了艾瑞克提出的新的合约方案。 Handled these matters, Eric has been planning to drive to go home, Jeffrey walked to sit on the copilot: „Eric, my car(riage) sent to maintain, did you deliver me a regulation?” 处理完了这些事情,艾瑞克正打算开车回家,杰弗里走上来坐在了副驾驶上:“艾瑞克,我的车送去保养了,你送我一程吧？” „Does not have the issue.” “没问题。” Goes by car to start off, Jeffrey asked kindly: „Eric, you and... Drew what's the matter, I looked on today newspaper said that yesterday she looked for you, probably her mother did Ildiko also go to your family?” 驱车上路,杰弗里关切地问道:“艾瑞克,你和…德鲁到底是怎么回事,我今天看报纸上说,昨天她又去找你了,好像她母亲艾迪科也去你家了？” Eric has not concealed to Jeffrey, the matter that will have said yesterday carefully. 艾瑞克对杰弗里并没有隐瞒,将昨天发生的事情细细地说了一遍。 „This... Also good, Drew is talent good Actor, but, can you make her live in your family? You do not have any blood relationship with her, continuously such words, in addition the hype of media, even if the Drew mother does not ask you to trouble, the child will protect the association also to act, Drew after all will be only 13 years old.” “这样…也好,德鲁是个天赋不错的演员,只是,你难道要让她一直住在你家里吗？你跟她没有任何血缘关系,一直这样的话,再加上媒体舆论的炒作,哪怕德鲁的母亲不找你麻烦,儿童保护协会也会出面的,德鲁毕竟才13岁。” „Relax, this point I am also clear, I have planned to deliver Drew the residential school.” “放心,这一点我也清楚,我已经打算送德鲁去寄宿学校了。” „This is good,” Jeffrey nodded: „Eric, you will not have really... Lolita complex?” “这就好,”杰弗里点了点头:“艾瑞克,你不会真的有…洛丽塔情结吧？” Is stabilizing the car sudden deceleration that marches forward, following Chevrolet pasted somewhat is near, Eric this stop opposite party almost follows, does not attend to the car(riage) incoming vehicle on street toward, in Chevrolet that Caucasian Fatty stretches out the head to start to obloquy from the glass. 正在稳定行进的汽车突然一个减速,后面一辆雪佛兰本来贴的就有些近,艾瑞克这一停顿对方差点追尾,不顾马路上的车来车往,雪佛兰里那个白人胖子从车窗伸出脑袋就开始大骂起来。 The Eric stability mind operation steering wheel casts off following Chevrolet: „Jeffrey, you look at Drew except for the age, that point image Lolita?” 艾瑞克稳定心神操纵方向盘甩开后面的雪佛兰:“杰弗里,你看德鲁除了年龄,那一点像洛丽塔了？” That obviously is a spirit, at least has practiced 500 years of small fox. 那明明是一只妖精啊,至少修炼了500年的小狐狸。 „In brief, you must pay attention to discretion.” Jeffrey as if had recognized Eric Lolita favors. “总之,你自己要注意分寸。”杰弗里仿佛已经认定了艾瑞克的洛丽塔倾向。
