Leads Meyer to arrive at two buildings, Eric shoves open a guest room door, leaned being sideways toward Meyer, said: „Nà, you lived here over the two days, in the bathroom cabinet should have the brand-new washing apparatus, but also lacks anything, you bought.” 带着梅耶尔来到二楼,艾瑞克推开一间客房房门,朝梅耶尔侧了侧身,说道:“呐,这两天你就住这里吧,浴室柜子里应该有全新的洗漱用具,还缺什么,你就得自己去买了。” Meyer the suitcase was walking two steps toward the room, this is a very spacious bedroom, the bright white repair, has the independent flat roof and bathroom, bed, wardrobe and desk and other furniture styles are succinct, obviously is having also the fine expensive aura, on the desk also has a current very rare 21 inches LCD display computer. 梅耶尔拉着行李箱朝房间里走了两步,这是一间非常宽敞的卧室,明亮的白色装修,有着单独的露台和浴室,大床、衣橱和书桌等家具样式都非常简洁,却又明显带着精致的昂贵气息,书桌上还有一台当前很少见的21英寸液晶显示屏电脑。 Sized up, Meyer had turned around, sees Eric to stand in the entrance, the meaning , the expression, suddenly does not know that should say anything. 四下打量了一番,梅耶尔转过身,见艾瑞克站在门口,并没有进来的意思,表情顿了下,突然间不知道该说什么。 Eric notes the Meyer expression change, said with a smile: „That this, I went to building Shangshufang, you at will. A building has the library and amusement room, the basement is the home theatre, wanted to stroll the words that to drive that car(riage) that Carter they left behind to be OK.” 艾瑞克注意到梅耶尔的表情变化,笑道:“那就这样,我去楼上书房了,你自己随意。一楼有图书馆和娱乐室,地下室是家庭影院,想要出去逛逛的话开卡特他们留下的那辆车就可以了。” Meyer sees Eric to leave, finally had found a topic, said: „Eric, does that need me to help you prepare the supper?” 梅耶尔见艾瑞克要离开,终于找到了一个话题,道:“艾瑞克,那,需要我帮你准备晚餐吗？” „Oh, in the intersection Garden Hotel has a Minjiang River dining room, you telephone to subscribe the position, in the evening we go to there to eat.” “哦,街口花园酒店里有一家岷江餐厅,你打电话订一下位置吧,晚上我们去那里吃就可以。” Meyer does not know that the reservation telephone of Minjiang River dining room, had not asked that this minor matter she can handle, therefore nods. 梅耶尔并不知道岷江餐厅的订餐电话,却也没有多问,这种小事她还是能搞定的,于是点点头。 Looks at Eric to leave, the form disappears in the opposite stairway, Meyer closes the door, stood was staying same place a while, opened own suitcase, started to tidy up. 望着艾瑞克离开,身影消失在对面的楼梯口,梅耶尔关上房门,站在原地呆了一会儿,才打开自己的行李箱,开始收拾起来。 Eric does not have to reorganize any baggage, the girl in good order, in this set of mansion that his all in secret arrange has the daily necessities of his complete set, even if the pencil on study room desk according to his personally is familiar with place, here is almost his another family/home. 艾瑞克却没有去整理什么行李,丫头将他私下里的一切都布置的井井有条,这套豪宅里有着他全套的生活用品,哪怕是书房办公桌上的铅笔都是按照他的个人习惯摆放的,这里差不多就是他的另一个家。 Places good Meyer, Eric to arrive at the studios in three buildings. 安置好梅耶尔,艾瑞克就来到三楼的书房。 Turns on the computer, the Yahoo Browser icon on Eric click monitor tabletop, gets the website of Google search engine in the address column skilled. 打开电脑,艾瑞克点击显示器桌面上的雅虎浏览器图标,熟练地在地址栏里打上谷歌搜索引擎的网址。 The familiar search engine page jumped immediately, besides the homepage search, other picture, mailbox, map as well as the special Yahoo main page direct bus, measured compared with the version with initial , the official Google search engine has made some trimmings, but the overall change was not big. 熟悉的搜索引擎页面立刻跳了出来,除了网页搜索,还有另外的图片、邮箱、地图以及专门的雅虎主页直通车,与当初的内测版相比,正式的谷歌搜索引擎做了一些微调,但整体变化不大。 The Yahoo current service center of gravity also places the web portal aspect, although the interior had determined that will take search engine as the next few years focus, the independent Google search engine that but Yahoo temporarily not too on a grand scale to promoted promotes. After all, Yahoo forthcoming IPO, what is principal is the concept of Internet media. 雅虎目前的业务重心还放在门户网站方面,虽然内部已经确定将会把搜索引擎作为未来几年的业务重点,但雅虎暂时并没有太大张旗鼓地对已经推出的单独的谷歌搜索引擎进行推广。毕竟,雅虎即将到来的IPO,主打的还是互联网传媒的概念。 Clicked on the search frame above row of button, Eric directly landed his work mailbox through the browser, found the new week of Box Office data report. 在搜索框上方一排按钮上点击了一番,艾瑞克就直接通过浏览器登陆了他的工作邮箱,找到新一周的票房数据报表。 On June 12 by June 18, the second week that «The Day After Tomorrow» screened, the movie to the first week, the overall Box Office decline range was 43%, one week of Box Office is 6369 ten thousand USD, Box Office was 1. 7.5 billion USD, temporarily was 1998 North America movie Box Office list second, first for «Austin Powers 2» that the Easter running schedule screened, this did the movie Box Office to frame wickedly finally in 1.8 600 million USD. 6月12日到6月18日,《后天》上映的第二周,影片相对于首周,整体票房跌幅为43%,一周票房为6369万美元,累计票房达到1.75亿美元,暂时名列1998年度北美电影票房榜第二名,第一名为复活节档期上映的《王牌大贱谍2》,这部恶搞影片最终票房定格在1.86亿美元。 In addition, because basically realized the synchronization of majority of overseas ticket warehouse country to screen, overseas Box Office of «The Day After Tomorrow» two weeks of time also has been 2. 2.6 billion USD, without a doubt, «The Day After Tomorrow» is overseas Box Office will occupy the Hollywood big piece of big end. 此外,由于基本上实现了大部分海外票仓国家的同步上映,《后天》两周时间的海外票房累计也达到了2.26亿美元,毫无疑问,《后天》将又是一部海外票房占大头的好莱坞大片。 In light of first two weeks of Box Office data, Firefly release department forecasting «The Day After Tomorrow» North America Box Office probably in 230 million to 250 million USD, overseas Box Office in 400 million to 500 million USD, the global Box Office whole anticipates in 600 million to 700 million USD about. 结合前两周的票房数据,萤火虫发行部门给预测《后天》的北美票房大概会在2.3亿到2.5亿美元之间,海外票房在4亿到5亿美元之间,全球票房整体预期在6亿到7亿美元左右。 Although cannot be the eruption, but without a doubt, «The Day After Tomorrow» can be said as global sells absolutely greatly, calculates according to the manufacture budget as well as the release budget of 50 million of USD movie 120 million USD, is only global Box Office, «The Day After Tomorrow» can take back the 100 million USD above net profit. 虽然不能算是爆发,但毫无疑问,《后天》绝对可以说是全球大卖,按照影片1.2亿美元的制作预算以及5000万美元的发行预算来计算,只是全球票房,《后天》就能够收回一亿美元以上的净利润。 Today swept in the Box Office data report the Box Office information of other movies, the Eric attention changed «The Matrix 2» that screens officially. 扫了眼票房数据报表中其他影片的票房信息,艾瑞克的注意力就转向今天正式上映的《黑客帝国2》。 Although manufactured Quan Mai the «The Matrix» sequel, but Firefly was retaining the development authority of «The Matrix» series peripheral commodity as before. 虽然将《黑客帝国》的续集制作权卖了出去,但萤火虫依旧保留着《黑客帝国》系列周边商品的开发权力。 To the cyclical long recording tape and television transmission power operation, the peripheral product of movie has the benefit actually almost to screen with the movie carries on same time. 相对于周期漫长的录像带和电视转播权运营,电影的周边产品产生效益却几乎是与影片上映同期进行的。 «The Matrix 2» screen, how regardless of the result, definitely to bring a wave of sales peak to the related peripheral product. «The Matrix» series peripheral, although is not so rich like the animated film or «Jurassic Park» and other movies, but some income, Firefly gains is relaxed, almost does not need to invest any marketing resources. 《黑客帝国2》上映,不论结果如何,肯定会给相关周边产品带来一波销售高峰。《黑客帝国》系列的周边虽然不像动画电影或者《侏罗纪公园》等影片那么丰厚,但这部分收入,萤火虫赚的却非常轻松,几乎不用投入任何营销资源。 Although Eric has not exhorted specially, the assistant office will reorganize the good «The Matrix 2» relevant information has sent to his electronic mail. 虽然艾瑞克没有特别嘱咐,助理办公室还是将已经整理好的《黑客帝国2》相关信息发到了他的电子邮箱中。 Eric opens the mail, first saw the «The Matrix 2» late show 9 950,000 USD Box Office data message. 艾瑞克打开邮件,第一眼就看到了《黑客帝国2》午夜场995万美元的票房数据信息。 Close 10 million USD late show Box Office, broke the North America late show Box Office record once more, last year Eric «Casino Royale», late show Box Office also 5 million USD. 接近1000万美元的午夜场票房,再次打破了北美的午夜场票房记录,去年艾瑞克的《007之皇家赌场》,午夜场票房也才500万美元而已。 However, Eric has not felt is too accidental, 007 series became a popular movie culture mark, although the popularity is high, but not too dying loyal movie fan, therefore is willing to stay up late to watch the audience in late show not to be many. 不过,艾瑞克也没有感觉太意外,007系列已经成为一种大众电影文化符号,虽然知名度非常高,但并没有太多死忠影迷,因此肯熬夜观看午夜场的观众不会太多。 But the «The Matrix» series are different, movie first part shocking makes this series carry in the shrine directly, gathered the massive dying loyal movie fans, late show Box Office slight increases is not difficult to understand. 但《黑客帝国》系列却不同,影片第一部的惊艳直接让这个系列被捧上神坛,聚集了大量死忠影迷,午夜场票房高企也就不难理解。 However, the «The Matrix 2» late show breaks the record, there is a factor of North America film market natural increase. Did not say «Star Pre-war Biography» that at the end of the year will soon screen, even if were half a month later «Charlie's Angels 3», might break this record once more. 不过,《黑客帝国2》午夜场破纪录,也有北美电影市场自然增长的因素。不说年底即将上映的《星战前传》,哪怕是半个月后的《霹雳娇娃3》,都有可能再次刷新这一纪录。 Looks the illustration that under the late show data has adhered to stick cohere, Eric changes the commentary of movie, this is the matter that he compares to care about. 看了眼午夜场数据下面附着的注解,艾瑞克就转向影片的评论,这才是他比较关心的事情。 In the mail has first listed the high praise of «The Matrix 2». 邮件里首先列出了《黑客帝国2》的好评。 „I like this movie very much, and recommends to everybody sincerely. Just, this movie has actually lacked can move my thing in first part.” «New York Observer» “我很喜欢这部影片,并且非常诚恳地向大家推荐。只不过,这部影片却已经缺少了一些在第一部里能够打动我的东西。”《纽约观察家》 „Compared with first part, the Wachowski Brothers skill is maturer.” «Sharon» “与第一部相比,沃卓斯基兄弟的功力更加成熟。”《沙龙》 „You do not need to understand that the «The Matrix» series the deep level connotations, can enjoy this movie with ease.” «Hollywood Reporter» “你不必理解《黑客帝国》系列的深层次内涵,就可以非常轻松地享受这部电影。”《好莱坞报道者》 „Although has added some brand-new elements, but the movie no longer has made people feel that like first part is shocking and excited.” 《Variety》. “虽然加入了一些全新的元素,但影片已经不再像第一部那样让人感到惊艳和兴奋。”《综艺》。 Although is the high praise, but Eric actually obviously feels that the appraisal of many media and film critic to «The Matrix 2» can only be the approvals, but from these spoken languages, cannot be absolutely first part such high praise like the tide. This view also conformed to the memory of Eric to edition as well as initially he had looked at the senses after Wachowski Brothers two sequel script. 虽然是好评,但艾瑞克却明显感觉到,很多媒体和影评人对《黑客帝国2》的评价都只能算是认可,但从这些言语中,绝对不能算是第一部那样的好评如潮。这种论调也符合艾瑞克对曾经版本的记忆以及当初他看过沃卓斯基兄弟两部续集剧本后的感官。 Looks at the high praise information that Eric slightly crosses the brief negative assessment of following a series of excerpt, had found a long commentary, carefully read. 将好评信息看完,艾瑞克略过下面一连串摘抄的简略负面评价,找到了一段较长的评论,仔细读了起来。 „Considered that «The Matrix» series that good openings, you definitely maintain the similar anticipation to the sequel, right?” “考虑到《黑客帝国》系列那么好的开局,你肯定会对续集保持同样的期待,对吧？” „But, many people probably wanted disappointedly, at least, I was this feeling. In this sequel, in the first part movie the splendid idea and highlight were diluted, even can say that has left behind very bad part. Although the movie as before cool vigor is superficially full, but in fact has been inferior to first part, some ambiguous obscure methodologies that Wachowski Brothers joins desirably, are in my opinion mysterious. I feel to this movie in all really disappointed, all as if deviated the track, only leaves behind one pile of repeated so-called irritable movement scenes.” “不过,很多人或许要失望了,至少,我个人是这种感觉。在这部续集里,第一部影片中很多出色的想法和亮点都被冲淡了,甚至可以说留下了很糟糕的一部分。虽然影片表面上看起来依旧酷劲十足,但实际上已经远不如第一部,沃卓斯基兄弟刻意加入的一些含糊的晦涩的哲学思考,在我看来也只是在故弄玄虚。我真的对这部影片里的一切都感到失望,一切似乎都偏离了轨道,只留下一堆反反复复的所谓的火爆的动作场景。” „first part forever becomes a movie special effect milestone, it forever changed the special effect movie, simultaneously it also brings to us has been able to ponder many years about the real and illusory philosophy proposition. However, this sequel actually obviously starts the class in the vulgarness, considered that this is the series that two volumes pat continually, I will be very difficult to imagine third become any appearance, may give us a more awful conclusion. If you are the bean noodles of «The Matrix» series, you will certainly not hope to see this situation occurrence. However, thinks initially Firefly Group to avoid carrying on shoots according to Wachowski Brothers established two sequel script, even does not hesitate the manufacture power sell of movie, I am very difficult to hold anything to anticipate to third again.” “第一部将永远成为一个电影特效里程碑,它永远改变了特效电影,同时它也给我们带来了一个可以思考很多年的关于真实与虚幻的哲学命题。不过,这部续集却明显开始流于庸俗,考虑到这是一个两集连拍的系列,我很难想象第三部会成为什么样子,或许会给我们一个更加糟糕的收尾吧。如果你是《黑客帝国》系列的粉丝,你一定不会希望看到这种情况发生。不过,想想当初萤火虫集团为了避免按照沃卓斯基兄弟既定的两部续集剧本进行拍摄,甚至不惜将影片的制作权出售,我就很难再对第三部抱有什么期待。” A North America film critic quite specialized point, is basically will not carry on the play to pass to the audience ahead of time. 北美的影评人比较专业的一点,就是基本上不会给观众进行提前剧透。 Eric reads off this commentary, although cannot see the plot analysis of this film critic to this sequel, but thinks when one initially saw the Wachowski Brothers script feeling, can guess that approximately the opposite party is any mood. 艾瑞克读完这篇评论,虽然看不到这位影评人对这部续集的剧情分析,但想想自己当初看到沃卓斯基兄弟剧本时的感觉,也大致能够猜测出对方是什么心情。 Mail ending, after statistics, synthesis grading of «The Matrix 2», only then 7.3, this grading is inferior to first part 8.7. 邮件的结尾,经过统计,《黑客帝国2》的综合评分只有7.3,这个评分远不如第一部的8.7。 Compared with the excellent situation of first part creation, 7.3 grading, can only calculate that passes an examination reluctantly. 和第一部创造的大好局面相比,7.3的评分,更是只能算勉强及格。 Front the mail will look that Eric puts out of one's mind the «The Matrix 2» matter, is those words, since is the water that sprinkles, pays attention again is also useless. 将面前的这份邮件看完,艾瑞克就将《黑客帝国2》的事情放在脑后,还是那句话,既然已经是泼出去的水,再多关注也是无益。 Initially got rid 300 million USD of «The Matrix» sequel manufacture power receives Eric to throw into the clover fund directly, even if according to the clover fund stock holding overall 16 billion USD value scales, initially that sum of money also turned more than one time, next year will dump the stock when one after another, income possibly over 1 billion USD that 300 million USD brought. 当初出手《黑客帝国》续集制作权的3亿美元收入艾瑞克直接就投进了三叶草基金,哪怕按照三叶草基金持有股票整体160亿美元的价值规模,当初那笔钱也已经翻了一倍多,明年陆续抛售股票时,那3亿美元带来的收益可能会超过10亿美元。 Berlin Film Industry for two «The Matrix» sequels, invested has exceeded the 600 million USD capital, even if «The Matrix 2» global Box Office achieves 1 billion USD, «The Matrix 3» Box Office is as before splendid, but considered that the large amount investment of earlier period, these two sequels absolutely are impossible to achieve 1 billion USD to the profit that peaceful Berlin Film Industry brings. 安柏林影业为了两部《黑客帝国》续集,已经投入了超过6亿美元的本金,即使《黑客帝国2》全球票房达到10亿美元,《黑客帝国3》的票房依旧出色,但考虑到前期的巨额投入,这两部续集给安柏林影业带来的利润也绝对不可能达到10亿美元。 Switches off the «The Matrix 2» mail page, Eric continues in the inspection mailbox has not read the mail, quick saw a good news that Katzenberg reports personally. 关掉《黑客帝国2》的邮件页面,艾瑞克继续检查工作邮箱里的未读邮件,很快就看到了卡森伯格亲自发过来的一条好消息。 Has rubbed for enough one year, Cameron planned to start the manufacture of «Spider-Man» finally. 磨了足足一年时间,卡梅隆终于打算启动《蜘蛛侠》的制作了。 Katzenberg in the mail expressed that he yesterday afternoon just with Cameron as well as Jon Randall has chatted the general detail, end has also cracked a joke asked that Eric must choose «Spider-Man» Heroine personally. 卡森伯格在邮件中表示他昨天下午刚刚和卡梅隆以及乔恩・兰道聊过大概的细节,末了还开玩笑地问艾瑞克还要不要亲自挑选《蜘蛛侠》女主角。 Although is far away from Los Angeles, Eric has been paying attention to the «Iron Man» thick scissors progress, he and Joss Wei Deng almost every day through the telephone or the email discussed that the editing details of some movies, it is expected that Eric returns to Los Angeles, the «Iron Man» first edition of thick scissors must complete, soon will be in the most important special effect manufacture stage. 虽然远离洛杉矶,艾瑞克一直关注着《钢铁侠》的粗剪进度,他和乔斯・韦登几乎每天都会通过电话或者电子邮件谈一些影片的剪辑细节,预计艾瑞克回到洛杉矶,《钢铁侠》的第一版粗剪就要完成,即将进入最重要的特效制作阶段。 Compared with «Iron Man», the promotion of item of «Spider-Man» arrives slowly make the blood boil, if Cameron drags to be too long, Eric also has to trade Director, his impossible to ignore «Spider-Man» delays the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe advancement. 与《钢铁侠》相比,《蜘蛛侠》的项目推进慢到让人发指,如果卡梅隆真的拖太久,艾瑞克也就不得不换导演,他不可能放任《蜘蛛侠》拖延整个漫威电影宇宙的进程。 Is good because, Cameron finally must begin to manufacture now. 好在,卡梅隆现在终于要着手制作了。 So long as the project is in substantive manufacture stage, again which even if Cameron not possibly delays slow to go. 只要项目进入实质性的制作阶段,卡梅隆即使再拖延也不可能慢到哪去。 Is thinking these, Eric has taken up the cell phone, has dialed directly in the Los Angeles Cameron telephone. 想着这些,艾瑞克已经拿起了手机,直接拨通了远在洛杉矶的卡梅隆的电话。 The telephone puts through quickly, the Cameron person in the Firefly cinema city, exchanged greetings several, they chatted the «Spider-Man» matter, from script to the special effect again to acting the leading role in the candidate, chatted for one hour, Eric hung the power failure words. 电话很快接通,卡梅隆人就在萤火虫影城,寒暄了几句,两人就聊起了《蜘蛛侠》的事情,从剧本到特效再到主演人选,足足聊了一个小时,艾瑞克才挂掉电话。 In the plan according to Cameron words, «Spider-Man» completes to choose the corner/horn to endure the scenery and other earlier arrangements in the second half of the year, at the beginning of next year can begin shooting, most late also only needed to wait by 2000 summer to screen, this progress still in the Eric toleration range. 按照卡梅隆话语里的计划,《蜘蛛侠》下半年完成选角堪景等前期筹备,明年年初就能开拍,最晚也只需要等到2000年暑期就能上映,这种进度依然在艾瑞克的忍受范围内。 Had ended and telephone conversation of Cameron, has processed a while work mail, out of the window weather unknowingly dark. 结束了和卡梅隆的通话,又处理了一会儿工作邮件,窗外天色不知不觉就暗了下来。 Flew everywhere for a half month, the biological clock of Eric also started somewhat chaotic, when noted the time, passes evening's seven o'clock. 到处飞了半个多月,艾瑞克的生物钟也开始有些混乱,注意到时间时,已经过了晚上七点钟。 Switched off the computer, Eric left the room, started becomes in the dark villa appears very peaceful, went to three buildings to two building ring-like corridors, saw that the light in downstairs small living room was shining, walked along the staircase, Meyer sat on the small living room sofa somewhat absent-mindedly watches the television obviously. 关掉电脑,艾瑞克就离开了房间,开始变得幽暗的别墅里显得很安静,下了三楼到二楼环形走廊,看到楼下小客厅里的灯光亮着,沿着楼梯走下去,梅耶尔坐在小客厅沙发上明显有些心不在焉地看电视。 The television sound is very small, Eric cannot put the light footsteps, Meyer feels some people to approach quickly, has turned head, smiled shyly, said: „Eric, I just am thinking when shouted you are appropriate.” 电视机声音很小,艾瑞克没有可以放轻脚步,梅耶尔很快就感受到有人靠近,扭过头,腼腆地笑了笑,道:“艾瑞克,我正想着什么时候喊你合适呢。” „Hungry, we walk,” Eric was saying, waits for Meyer to stand up, sees an appearance of her still light grey career suit, said: „Can you change clothes?” “饿了吧,我们走吧,”艾瑞克说着,等梅耶尔站起身,见她依然一副浅灰色职业套装的模样,道:“你要不要换套衣服？” „Good,” Meyer nods, said: „You wait a bit.” “好啊,”梅耶尔点头,道:“那你稍等一下。” Eric enters the small living room, sits down on sofa, waited for 56 minutes, Meyer to change one set of very gorgeous flame complete knee one-piece dress to go downstairs patiently. 艾瑞克走进小客厅,在沙发上坐下,耐心地等了56分钟,梅耶尔就换了一套非常艳丽的火红色齐膝连衣裙下楼。 The majority of women are very difficult to haunch the red clothing, but this clothes put in Meyer, made the somewhat shy girl suddenly many several points of work place capable woman aura. 大部分女人都很难撑起红色衣物,但这套衣服穿着梅耶尔身上,却让原本还有些青涩的女郎陡然多了几分职场女强人气息。 Eric could not bear looked at several, to praise sighed: „Is very attractive.” 艾瑞克忍不住多看了几眼,赞叹道:“很漂亮。” „Thanks,” hears Eric these words, led several points of disturbed Meyer to relax, said: „That, we walk.” “谢谢,”听到艾瑞克这句话,原本带着几分忐忑的梅耶尔放松下来,道:“那,我们走吧。”
