After best original song nomination announcement, what then announced was the best movie dubbing in music nomination.
«RMS Titanic» failed in the best original song nomination, Eric realized, if the Golden Globe Award appraisal committee must obey the wishes of certain people to suppress this movie really desirably, only in best movie dubbing in music, symbolically will possibly give a nomination.
However, after Mira Sorvino read five nomination movies one after another, Eric as before has not heard the «RMS Titanic» name.
The finger several on strikes in the glass gently several, the Eric corners of the mouth brings back, the anger smiles to mutter extremely: „Does not need to do such certainly.”
Some interest is wanings, Eric gives Virginia bosom Kevin suddenly, puts out a hand with a blank new year's card, lowers the head to fill in the card.
In the living room, the sound in television is continuing as before, the women realized that Eric at this time mood somewhat agitated, carefully is maintaining peaceful, does not disturb him.
In the television, the NBC directors and two honored guests continue to announce the long nomination list, often said several joke active atmosphere.
The nomination accident that two should be easiest to attain fails, Eric thought that the Golden Globe Award appraisal committee this time very possible is a nomination did not plan to «RMS Titanic», has not held anything to anticipate again, grasped the pencil to trace the colored body English in the new year's card patiently, attempt is making itself recently the somewhat agitated mood tranquil.
After best foreign language film nomination announcement, the director inserted funny dialog carries on one to tease to the nomination movie, Mira Sorvino put out a list once more, was reading to the microphone: „Then, obtains the movie of Golden Globe Award best screenwriter nomination to have, Tom Stoke Parde, Mark Norman, «Shakespeare in Love» \; Terrence Malick, «Red Alert» \; Ethan Cohen and Joel Cohen, «Ice Blood Violent» \; Occupies «Elegant demeanor that Suddie, Glistens» as well as...... James Cameron, «RMS Titanic».”
Feels the stop that in the television Mira Sorvino makes intentionally, Eric had gained ground.
Hears the «RMS Titanic» name, not far away small girl said immediately excitedly: „Eric, we attained to nominate.”
The Eric slight bow, in the expression is having the doubts, intention that not too clear Golden Globe Award such makes, two nominations were only the accident, the Golden Globe Award appraisal committee are affected a moment ago, «RMS Titanic» did then as before hopefully win the best picture and other core award of the nominations?
In the heart has some anticipations, Eric to listen to the complete field nomination release conference peacefully, the anticipation that raises quietly actually quickly fails.
Then, he does not have to hear any phrase about «RMS Titanic» again. «RMS Titanic» halts in a slightly awkward best screenwriter nomination finally merely, other aspects have achieved nothing.
Under normal conditions, Oscar and in the Golden Globe Award this at least surface vigorously maintains own credibility the movie award item, relatively is fair in the nomination stage, if were in the past, the «RMS Titanic» quality was placed there, even if Golden Globe Award wanted to suppress under the influences of certain people desirably, needs to think over risk of credibility loss, therefore brought.
However, Eric watches the nomination release conference, understands approximately that this year's situation and past had greatly are very different.
According to regularly view, this year absolutely will be a Oscar bumper year, moreover can be the super bumper year.
Only can look from the Golden Globe Award nomination list, «Elegant demeanor these four movies that « Shakespeare in Love» and «Red Alert» and «Ice Blood Violent» and Glistens » are nominated to be over five on average, the performance is exceptionally strong, other such as «Sweetheart Mister» and «Book Grandmaster» and «Madame Beslon» and other movie also quite bright eyes.
In this situation, the Golden Globe Award appraisal committee can be said as ‚secure’, these many outstanding movies arrange at front, even if «RMS Titanic» attains the nomination, the Golden Globe Award appraisal committee does not think this kind of pure commercial big piece to be able under the outstanding heroes observe the situation attain the award item, since «RMS Titanic» simply does not have to hope to attain the award item, does not give it to nominate at this time, will not exist will lose the credibility in the future the risk.
Even, Eric also realizes this best screenwriter trick, if «RMS Titanic» attains the best original song and best movie dubbing in music nomination, by the movie in the strength that this dubbing in music shows, can struggle with other movies high under. These two nominations fail, only gives the best screenwriter nomination that does not get the advantage merely, this person of wishes let «RMS Titanic» obviously 100% return empty-handed, does not give the hope that the movie breaks through tiny bit.
„Eric......”
Notes the Eric quiet hour somewhat to be as if long, his Virginia has called one gently.
„I am all right,” Eric recovers, looks at the woman kind look, smiled, suddenly also thought aloud slightly said in a low voice: „I am engaging in introspection, Hollywood was Film Studio, too many.”
Virginia the firmness that does not note in the Eric look to flash through, asked: „How many do you think appropriate?”
„Four big, or three big,” Eric shrugs slightly: „Are less, or is one of us, is always not thinking others' bowl breaks to pieces, was quite eaten to select by oneself.”
Virginia also feels certain strong mood in Eric expression at this time, has smiled, said: „That, is how possible.”
Will say anything, the glass several on cell phones vibrate, Eric looked at the number, is Los Angeles Katzenberg hits.
Eric takes up the cell phone, has hinted toward the women, sets out saying: „I answer a telephone.”
Eric and Katzenberg, in telephone discussed when influence that the Golden Globe Award nomination probably brings, Los Angeles Beverly Hills Manor, in a mansion, just watched the television direct transmission Michael the Eisner mood is actually very happy.
Hollywood similarly is a commercial trade, market like battlefield, competitions between several big Film Studio, although is insufficient to produce life and death stirs up row of resistances, but among all parties, actually is also the natural old enemy, can when the competitor places near the cliff pushes up opposite party, all people will not be lenient.
This time operates the «RMS Titanic» Golden Globe Award nomination the matter, Michael Eisner has participated similarly, but he will again actually not violate for several years ago such mistake, no longer believes any loose temporary alliance, but hides in promotes secretly in secret. Others participate, everybody has a tacit understanding, nobody participates, Michael Eisner does not matter, promoter but who, behind this time attacks on own initiative, actually really many.
Although for these years, on with the relations of Eric had relaxed outwardly, but he absolutely will not actually forget that in the past was expelled the Disney's past events, along with recent Firefly strength of step by step, Michael Eisner thought that if had not been forced to leave Disney in the past, at present all these status and glory of Firefly in Hollywood industry, possibly is his.
After all, in the two years, development of Universal in Film Industry service can say is next to Firefly, this summer the files, the Universal Box Office total amount even also appeared counter- ultra, he thought that this enough has proven own strength.
However, Michael Eisner had also realized the development of Universal Pictures entered to a bottleneck stage.
In recent years, along with the rapid expansion of global film market, Hollywood increasingly realizes the powerful advantage and rich profit of big manufacture special effect movie in global release, but, entire Hollywood, has enough strength to manufacture over three special effect big pieces besides Firefly every year the inside story, other six big, if no Firefly digit domain special effect technical support, only if drastically reduces the request to movie special effect quality, otherwise is impossible to complete these.
Warner or Universal and Paramount, use all resources, every year also can only manufacture one to two principal special effect probably ‚heavy case bomb’ movie, limiting condition and fund too in a big way have not been connected, mainly CG Special Effects technology.
The digital domain develops today, except for Los Angeles this, but also has set up two subsidiary companies in Florida and Australia, chief staff scale already over 00 people . Moreover, talented person next, so long as is willing to spend the high price, the special effect master of most top can also dig.
But the number domain compares in other Hollywood special effect work rooms, biggest superiority actually technical accumulation in CG Special Effects aspect, Eric Williams was in the lead in other colleague several years in the past, the great writer puts into the research and development of computer CG Special Effects technology, at this time, the digital domain in the special effect software and large-scale render farm scale in exaggeration technology even hardware, the main point is before other colleagues two to three years, meanwhile disparity, has not actually won over a popular actor from another company by offering higher pay with the big investment can pull closer.
Even if in the heart resists and Firefly cooperates, but Universal when manufacturing «The Mummy 2», has to give the digital domain the massive very difficult special effect scene, several other big Film Studio have the more or less dependence to the digital domain. Also this dependence, instead has provided the opportunity of more technical research and development and accumulation for the digital domain, urging it industry in the colleague remote to abandon.
At this time, several other big Film Studio had discovered actually may be called the brutal fact: If Firefly cuts off the external cooperation of figure domain, without a doubt, they will be very then difficult to remake to make special effect in the next few years sufficiently with the film that Firefly contends with.
Surpasses 20 billion USD Firefly Group regarding the year turnover, even if «RMS Titanic» owes completely, in the economic aspect, will not have any substantive influence to this company merely. But a lot are not the simple money can measure.
The total investment of «RMS Titanic» manufacture and release achieves 2.6 500 million USD, may be called unprecedented in the Hollywood movie history, the movie project of so huge scale, once is defeated, to Firefly Group up and down the confidence attack in filmmaking is actually unquantifiable.
Michael Eisner anticipated that is this result.
Although Eric has the absolute domination to Firefly, but he is eventually impossible completely to disregard the wishes of other management and shareholders acts willfully, such will only make Firefly Group fall into the turbulence. When the «RMS Titanic» like this super big project bitter experience failure, the Firefly shareholder and management inevitably to the filmmaking and release strategy recent reconsider, but the result of this reconsideration surely will be the future a long time, Firefly will tend to be conservative in filmmaking.
At the Firefly digit domain 00 people of staff scales, simultaneously supports four to the manufactures of six special effect movies sufficiently, once the Firefly filmmaking scale tends to be conservative because of the Box Office failure of «RMS Titanic», the digital domain must depend upon to accept the exterior order to guarantee that more than 2000 staff are insufficient the safe to do, then, at least over the next several years, Firefly will cut off the possibility of figure domain external cooperation not to exist, the pace of development of Firefly Film Industry service will slow down, has given other Film Studio enough time, will pursue the Firefly footsteps in the filmmaking and special effect technology accumulation, will wait for Firefly Group from «RMS Titanic». In the failure restores, perhaps, everybody's starting line will differ will again not be far.
Has pushed Firefly on Golden Globe Award in secret, Michael Eisner did not plan the matter that continues to make anything to add something superfluous and ruin the effect, now the almost entire profession in singing fades «RMS Titanic», even including Firefly Group, did not report to this non- movie too in a big way expected that the failure of «RMS Titanic» was almost inevitable, he started to consider the development plan of next year Universal at this time.
The «The Mummy 3» manufacture difficulties are somewhat big, the first two continual successes, cause largely to rise to the salary of movie lead from the producer, immediately starts the manufacture, trades the corner/horn compression budget, will be the enhancement budget invitation former staff, Universal will take very big risk, therefore, Michael Eisner decided scorpion King Da movie that will start the «The Mummy» series grows, this was long before, he saw when this project the inspiration.
Is combing various mentalities in mind, unknowingly already close to ten o'clock, Michael Eisner wife Jane Breckenridge starts to urge the husband to rest, Michael Eisner two years ago after heart four heavy bridging surgeries that is shocking but not dangerous, good that although restores, but the heart not good person also most abstains from stay up late, this aspect Jane looks to his husband is very tight.
Michael Eisner hears wife's urging, sets out to walk toward the bedroom from the living room sofa, is calculating at heart actually, tomorrow will make George Lucas will have the supper together, chats matter that Universal Pictures and Industrial Light & Magic will cooperate.
Although has the great support of Microsoft, Michael Eisner actually does not favor secure Berlin Film Industry that Spielberg several people cooperate, Universal therefore is also competing for peaceful Berlin Film Industry movie distribution rights is not too positive, but, Michael Eisner actually very much regards as important the Industrial Light & Magic prospects for development, although this special effect company cast off by the digital domain is a little far, but as the established special effect giant, Industrial Light & Magic also finally possibly pursues the figure domain same industry company, Michael Eisner is very clear, only then Industrial Light & Magic develops, keeps pace with the digital domain, everybody can avoid having a stranglehold by Firefly suddenly.( To be continued.)
