This fellow, to other woman that warm feelings, even is hard to solve with own cousin, actually in the appearance that oneself complete is not interested, this may be really exasperating. 这件事实可真是让人沮丧,梅耶尔甚至都有些想要落荒而逃,同时也不免对艾瑞克生出了几分浅浅的怨念。这个家伙,对别的女人那么热络,甚至还和自己的表妹纠缠不清,却对自己完全一副不感兴趣的模样,这可真气人。 Eric has no time to pay attention to the small thoughts of female assistant, with the tonight's party lead, five girl 11 hugs that the spice girl combines extends the congratulation, the guest who then and other walk greeted, exchanged greetings some little time, was idle. 艾瑞克无暇理会女助理的小心思,率先与今晚派对的主角,辣妹组合的五个女孩11拥抱表示祝贺,然后又和其他走过来的客人打招呼,寒暄了好一会儿,才算空闲下来。 By self-service dinner table, Simon fuller and a Eric person took one cup of champagne, has lifted raising glass toward Eric, Simon fuller said: „Eric, I had considered carefully that singer who you mentioned in the afternoon selected Reality TV Show, thought that the feasibility was high. However, if conducts in the United Kingdom native place, was the scale too small, why we directly has not manufactured in North America?” 自助餐桌旁,西蒙・富勒和艾瑞克一人取了一杯香槟,朝艾瑞克举了举杯,西蒙・富勒道:“艾瑞克,我仔细考虑过你下午提起的那个歌手选拔真人秀节目,觉得可行性非常高。不过,如果只是在英国本土举办,规模是不是太小了一些,为什么我们不直接在北美制作呢？” „I definitely will bring this grade of Reality Show to North America, but, now ABC «Survivor» or Fox «Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?», viewing ratio also good, for these years two TV Network also introduced other Reality TV Show, therefore that side not the deficient this type of program, Eric sips champagne, said with a smile temporarily”: „Moreover, I do not want to give NBC or CBS this grade of Reality Show, therefore plans United Kingdom to do now. You can also obtain enough time to carry on the polish to the program form.” “我肯定会把这档真人秀带到北美的,不过,现在无论是ABC的《幸存者》还是Fox的《谁会成为百万富翁》,收视率都还不错,这几年两家电视网也引入了一些其他的真人秀节目,所以那边暂时也不缺乏这种类型的节目,”艾瑞克抿了一口香槟,笑着道:“而且,我又不想把这档真人秀让给NBC或者CBS,所以就打算现在英国这边做起来。你也可以得到足够的时间对节目形式进行打磨。” Simon fuller nods, said: „But, said, this type of music Reality TV Show, should not have the means to build the popularity too high singer, because we, if must give dual attention to the reception effect, is unlikely maintains the absolute fairness, some outstanding players ahead of time will possibly be eliminated, these people were solid ‚loser’ the title, wants to pack not so to be easy again.” 西蒙・富勒点点头,又道:“不过,说真的,这种类型的音乐真人秀节目,应该没办法打造出人气太高的歌手,因为我们如果要兼顾收视效果,就不太可能保持绝对的公正性,一些出色的选手很可能会被提前淘汰掉,这些人坐实了‘失败者’的头衔,再想包装起来就不那么容易了。” Eric said: „If you, first several should be able to choose several good seedlings attentively. Right, this time you should better pay great attention to player's song creation ability, initially when chose the spice girl to combine I forgot to remind your this point, their several, the art or technique of singing and dance foundation of basic skills were good, but the creation ability was barely satisfactory, is good can also find splendid enough Producer to write the song because of them for them now.” 艾瑞克道:“如果你用心一点,前几届应该还是可以挑选出几个好苗子的。对了,这次你最好注重一下选手本身的歌曲创作能力,当初在选择辣妹组合的时候我就忘记提醒你这一点了,她们几个,唱功和舞蹈功底都不错,但本身的创作能力却差强人意,好在她们现在也能够找到足够出色的制作人替她们写歌了。” Simon fuller also approves nod. 西蒙・富勒也认可地点头。 After past, any in the singer or the combination that the music world prominence, basically itself has the good creative music ability. 无论是从前还是以后,凡是在音乐界声名鹊起的歌手或组合,基本上本身都有着不错的音乐创作能力。 However, later along with the decline of entire phonograph record profession, itself creates the ability outstanding singer to be getting more and more evident, because the decline of profession definitely will cause the resources to wither, Record Company also little meets again especially organizes a team to go to packing these to have the singer who a good throat or the good leather bag actually completely not to have created the ability. 不过,以后随着整个唱片行业的衰落,本身创作能力出众的歌手会越来越凸显,因为行业的衰落肯定会导致资源萎缩,唱片公司也就很少再会专门组织一个团队去包装那些只有一副好嗓子或好皮囊却完全没有创作能力的歌手。 Eric and Simon? The fuller was chatting, has swept around the eye at will, exactly 007 series of female producer Barbara who noted not far away? Bullock looks to approach itself, Barbara? Bullock opposite stands to wear the tall and slender woman of lavender dew back evening dress, who Eric has not recognized the opposite party is, but feels Barbara? Bullock looks to his look is having some meanings of praying for rescue, therefore with Simon? The fuller greeted one, Eric walked. 艾瑞克和西蒙?富勒聊着,随意地扫了眼四周,恰好注意到不远处的007系列女制片人芭芭拉?布洛克里望向自己,芭芭拉?布洛克里对面站着一个身穿淡紫色露背晚礼服的高挑女人,艾瑞克没认出对方是谁,只是感觉芭芭拉?布洛克里望向自己的眼神里带着些求救的意思,于是和西蒙?富勒招呼了一声,艾瑞克走了过去。 Barbara? Bullock is a standard single person. Eric also thinks this was entangled by the female lily, when entered, discovered that stood in her opposite woman is the black eyebrow coloring rice? Mole. 芭芭拉?布洛克里是个标准的单身主义者。艾瑞克原本还以为她这是被女百合缠上了,待到走进,才发现站在她对面的女人是黛米?摩尔。 Black eyebrow coloring rice? Does the mole note Barbara? Bullock expression change, has turned around to see Eric, on the face shows the pleasantly surprised expression immediately, puts out a hand: „Oh, Eric, I just added that must greet with you, but saw that you were chatting with the fuller mister.” 黛米?摩尔注意到芭芭拉?布洛克里的表情变化,转过身看到艾瑞克,脸上立刻露出惊喜的表情,伸手过来:“噢,艾瑞克,我刚刚还说要和你打声招呼呢,只是看到你在和富勒先生聊天。” Sees the black eyebrow coloring rice? The mole extended both hands to oneself, Eric has to smile was hugging with the opposite party, felt the woman entire body not minced matter has pasted the post toward oneself on, has loved dearly Bruce at heart unavoidably? The Willis three seconds, pitiful Old Bu spreads on such wife, the head did not know green several chapters, but they should be now play respectively various. 见黛米?摩尔向自己伸出双手,艾瑞克只好微笑着与对方拥抱了下,感觉女人整个身体都毫不掩饰的朝自己身上贴了贴,心里不免心疼了布鲁斯?威利斯三秒钟,可怜的老布摊上这样一媳妇,头上不知道绿了几回了,不过两人现在应该算是各玩各的了。 „That, black eyebrow coloring rice, you how in London?” Although they are not ripe, but has seen on some party several, Eric, although does not like the opposite party, unfamiliar of too but not having displayed, after letting loose the opposite party, Eric asked politely. “那么,黛米,你怎么会在伦敦？”两人虽然不熟,但在一些派对上还是见过几面,艾瑞克虽然不喜欢对方,但也没有表现的太生疏,放开对方后,艾瑞克客气地问道。 „I am in a London shoots movie, named «Notting Hill»,” black eyebrow coloring rice? Has the mole referred to resting of not far away? Grant , to continue saying: „Actor rests, narrated that occurred in the love story of Notting Hill area.” “我正在伦敦拍摄一部电影呢,名叫《诺丁山》,”黛米?摩尔指了指不远处的休?格兰特,继续道:“男主角是休,讲述一个发生在诺丁山区的爱情故事。” Eric thinks immediately that Julia initially because of the Seagram purchase PolyGram, the «Notting Hill» distribution rights belonged to Universal, therefore gave up this script, has not thought that finally fell on the black eyebrow coloring rice unexpectedly? On mole. 艾瑞克立刻想起来,茱莉亚当初因为西格拉姆收购宝丽金,《诺丁山》的发行权归于环球,于是放弃了这个剧本,没想到最终竟然落在了黛米?摩尔身上。 „«Notting Hill», I know exactly this script, very good story,” Eric commended one politely. “《诺丁山啊》,我恰好知道这个剧本,很不错的故事,”艾瑞克客气地称赞了一句。 By «Four do successes of Wedding And Funeral», rest? Grant is promoted the Box Office star successfully, in addition because of the change of history, he successfully evades the scandal that should have, rests? Grant for these years could be said as very popular English warm male. 凭借《四个婚礼和一个葬礼》的成功,休?格兰特成功晋级票房明星,再加上因为历史的改变,他成功躲过了本应该发生的丑闻,休?格兰特这几年可以说是非常受欢迎的英式暖男。 After Julia withdraws, PolyGram has Film Industry as if related Hollywood established sweet elder sister Meg? Is Ryan, only Meg? Ryan met to pat Warner 《You've Got Mail》. Finally chooses the popularity to be well below the Julia's black eyebrow coloring rice? The mole holds the post of Heroine, probably also stemming from resting? The self-confidence of Grant popularity. 茱莉亚退出之后,宝丽金影业似乎联系了好莱坞老牌甜姐梅格?瑞恩,只是梅格?瑞恩接拍了华纳的《电子情书》。最终选择人气远远不如茱莉亚的黛米?摩尔担任女主角,大概也是出于对休?格兰特人气的自信。 Remembers 《You've Got Mail》, Eric also somewhat is unavoidably helpless, 《You've Got Mail》 is the product that Warner and AOL cooperate, clearly, both sides already started to exchange flattery and favors. Because with difference of Firefly in development route, AOL has not even mentioned the 《You've Got Mail》 matter with Firefly, this matter also becomes the recent media has one of the conflict evidence to AOL and major stockholder Firefly investment. 想起《电子情书》,艾瑞克不免又有些无奈,《电子情书》算是华纳与美国在线合作的产物,很明显,双方早就开始拉拉扯扯了。因为与萤火虫在发展路线上的分歧,美国在线甚至都没有和萤火虫提起过《电子情书》的事情,这件事也成为最近媒体对美国在线与大股东萤火虫投资产生争端的证据之一。 „Has not thought really that this was really surprises people,” heard Eric to know «Notting Hill» script, the black eyebrow coloring rice? Mole at heart really somewhat surprised, this is only an ordinary movie of less than three surely USD production costs, but, she thinks whose quickly one were received this opportunity from hand, immediately also felt relaxed, but in the heart somewhat envied Julia? The intimate relation of Roberts and Eric, looked that were also unavoidably many to the Eric look several points of earnest: „Can Eric, ask you to dance a dance?” Was saying, black eyebrow coloring rice? The mole also smiled toward Meyer of Eric aware attire small vase, said: „This young lady will definitely not mind that I borrow Eric a while, right?” “真没想到,这真是太让人意外了,”听到艾瑞克知道《诺丁山》的剧本,黛米?摩尔心里真的有些惊讶,这只是一个不到三千万美元制作成本的普通爱情片而已,不过,她很快想到自己是从谁手中接过这次机会的,随即也就释然,只是心中有些羡慕茱莉亚?罗伯茨与艾瑞克的亲密关系,看向艾瑞克的眼神里不免又多了几分热切:“艾瑞克,可以请你跳支舞吗？”这么说着,黛米?摩尔还朝艾瑞克身边自觉装小花瓶的梅耶尔笑了笑,道:“这位小姐肯定不会介意我借走艾瑞克一会儿的,对吗？” The Meyer politeness nods, in heart spits the trough I to mind secretly usefully? 梅耶尔礼貌地点点头,心中暗暗吐槽我介意有用吗？ Eric actually smiles, the rejection said: „Sorry, the black eyebrow coloring rice, my something must discuss with Barbara.” 艾瑞克却只是笑笑,拒绝道:“抱歉,黛米,我有些事情要和芭芭拉谈。” „Oh, has not related, I can wait a while,” black eyebrow coloring rice? The mole has not displayed to lose, has not given up, lifted the hand saying: „You chatted first.” “哦,没关系,我可以等一会儿的,”黛米?摩尔没有表现出失落,也没有放弃,抬了抬手道:“那你们先聊吧。” Waits for the black eyebrow coloring rice? The mole gets out of the way, Eric asked that Barbara said: „How was just?” 等黛米?摩尔走开,艾瑞克才问芭芭拉道:“刚刚是怎么了？” „What does not have,” Barbara? Bullock shakes the head, says with a smile: „«Bond 19» were was not choosing the corner/horn recently, she also participated.” “没什么,”芭芭拉?布洛克里摇摇头,笑道:“《邦德19》最近不是在选角吗,她也参加了。” Eric nods, understood anything approximately, said: „Mentioned this, just also some reporters asked me, perhaps looked at the present situation, «Bond 19» does not have the means this year starting?” 艾瑞克点点头,大致明白了什么,道:“说起这个,刚刚还有记者问我呢,看现在的情况,《邦德19》今年恐怕是没办法开机了吧？” Barbara? On Bullock face is having some small complaints, said: „Yes, your this fellow is so high the previous Box Office belt, now washes one's hands, our pressure is very big.” 芭芭拉?布洛克里脸上带着些小埋怨,道:“是啊,你这家伙把上一部的票房带那么高,现在又甩手不管,我们压力可是很大呢。” Eric refuted with a smile: „I may not have each edition of script that no matter, you hand over I may earnestly look.” 艾瑞克笑着反驳道:“我可没有不管啊,你们递过来的每一版剧本我可都认真看过的。” «Bond 19» planned to screen in next year summer files, but after «Casino Royale» global explodes greatly, facing the excellent situation of agent movie universe, treasures with prudently, was only «Bond 19» script that Metro Goldwyn Mayer all people display, Metro Goldwyn Mayer fully has polished for one year, in addition, because in «Bond 19» three big series of leads of will build up completely, the related Actor contract also spent very big time is makes a final decision. 《邦德19》原本计划在明年暑期档上映,但《皇家赌场》全球大爆后,面对特工电影宇宙的大好局面,米高梅所有人都表现的非常珍惜和慎重,只是《邦德19》的剧本,米高梅就整整打磨了一年,此外,由于《邦德19》中三大系列的主角会全部集结,相关演员的合约也费了很大一番功夫才算敲定。 From the present situation, screening of «Bond 19» could retard fully for one year. However, the big pieces of 007 this amounts of space occupied, the manufacture gap amount to for three years, pours is not anything, the reputation that nobody to catch up with the running schedule just set up the entire agent movie universe screws up. 从现在的情况来看,《邦德19》的上映可能要整整推后一年。不过,007这种体量的大片,制作间隔达到三年,倒也不算什么,没有人会为了赶档期将整个特工电影宇宙刚刚树立起来的口碑搞砸。
