LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

These years Hollywood, although is getting more and more formidable, but in my opinion, Hollywood is also losing own creativity, high budget the horror film and comedy movie of heavy case bomb movie low cost, more and more likely are the commodities in assembly line. Naturally, no one is able to deny that this assembly line pattern in the trade is very successful. Meanwhile, the industrialization of Hollywood also causes these alternatives highly, rough, counter- traditional movie existing space getting smaller, but this type of movie has big market demand actually. My lion gate Film Studio dedicated is the manufactures and distributions of these movies.” “这些年来好莱坞虽然越来越强大,但在我看来,好莱坞也正在失去自己的创造性,无论是高预算的重磅炸弹电影还是低成本的恐怖片和喜剧片,都越来越像是流水线上的商品。当然,谁也无法否认这种流水线模式在商业上都是非常成功的。但同时,好莱坞的这种高度工业化也使得那些另类的、粗糙的、反传统的影片生存空间越来越小,但这种类型影片其实是有着很大的市场需求的。我的狮门电影公司专注的便是这些电影的制作和发行工作。” In Susnet Tower Hotel banquet hall, simple after one exchanged greetings, Frank Gustad started to speak with confidence oneself to the development project of lion gate Film Studio. 日落塔酒店的宴会厅里,简单的一番寒暄之后,弗兰克・古斯塔开始侃侃而谈自己对狮门电影公司的发展规划。 After short surprised, Eric also restores as usual, but have a relish listens to Frank Gustad expresses his viewpoint, occasionally discussed several with the opposite party. 短暂的惊讶之后,艾瑞克也恢复如常,只是饶有兴致地听弗兰克・古斯塔发表自己的观点,偶尔与对方讨论几句。 Chatted a while, feels this youth as if not to show the too strong interest to own Film Studio at present, Frank Gustad conceals the disappointment in heart, the politeness is saying goodbye to leave. 聊了一会儿,感受到眼前这个青年似乎并没有对自己的电影公司表现出太浓烈的兴趣,弗兰克・古斯塔掩饰着心中的失望,礼貌地告辞离开。 Waits for Frank Gustad walks away, girl asked: Eric, do you think what kind of?” 弗兰克・古斯塔走远,丫头才问道:“艾瑞克,你觉得怎么样啊?” The Eric nod approval said: Has the person of idea very much, if develops according to his mentality, that company in his hand might gain a footing in Hollywood very much.” 艾瑞克点头认可道:“很有想法的一个人,如果按照他的思路发展下去,他手里的那家公司很有可能会在好莱坞拥有一席之地。” I also thought so that just I led him and Amy, John they have chatted, everybody thought that his mentality is good. Therefore, Eric, we buy this Film Studio to be what kind, such Metro Goldwyn Mayer had one and new line and Miramax such subsidiary company. You did not say that we need to expand the Metro Goldwyn Mayer production unit.” “我也是这么觉得呢,刚刚我带他和艾米约翰他们聊过,大家都觉得他的思路非常不错。所以,艾瑞克,我们买下这家电影公司怎么样,这样米高梅就拥有一家和新线、米拉麦克斯那样的子公司了。你不是也说我们需要扩大米高梅的制作部门嘛。” Eric was recalling the lion gate once development process, wants not to shake the head saying: „It is not good.” 艾瑞克回忆着狮门曾经的发展历程,想也不想就摇头道:“不行。” Once historical, lion gate Film Industry completely according to Frank Gustad just said alternative and rough, counter- tradition the mentality step by step growth is the Hollywood promising youth. 曾经的历史上,狮门影业完全就是按照弗兰克・古斯塔刚刚所说的‘另类、粗糙、反传统’的思路一步步成长为好莱坞的后起之秀。 However, the rising process of lion gate has actually been full of the intense dispute. 不过,狮门的崛起过程却充满了强烈争议。 «Violates from Anger of early counter- religion Superstitious», to afterward was banned reflects «that Not to be possible by the global majorities of countries Cancellation», arrives to create again with «Fahrenheit 9/11» of Bush Administration intense opposition, the so-called counter- tradition of lion gate, completely establishes in offending the majority of mainstream value view crowd foundation. 从早期反宗教的《怒犯天条》,到后来被全球大部分国家禁映的《不可撤销》,再到造成与布什政府激烈对立的《华氏911》,狮门的所谓反传统,完全是建立在得罪大部分主流价值观人群基础上的。 If the lion gate is one throughout maintains single-handedly the condition small company, all pressure that but can also facing distributing these dispute movies creates with the unusual hoodlum stance. 如果狮门是一家始终保持独力状态的小公司,还可以用非常光棍地姿态面对发行这些争议影片带来的各方压力。 But if Metro Goldwyn Mayer incorporates it, when the time comes, these pressure ten times of hundred times of places will enlarge to Metro Goldwyn Mayer this parent company on. It can be said that such lion gate, regarding big Film Studio, completely is one indefinite tense bomb. 但如果米高梅将其收编,到时候,这些压力就会十倍百倍地放大到米高梅这个母公司身上。可以说,这样的狮门,对于大制片厂来说,完全是一颗‘不定时炸弹’。 Naturally, after incorporating, under the control of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, the lion gate perhaps can also give up these extremely in sword walking the slant the filmmaking release mentality. If so, lion gate also lost its special characteristics, has the too great development very much difficultly again. 当然,收编之后,在米高梅的控制下,狮门或许也可以放弃这些太过于剑走偏锋的电影制作发行思路。但这样的话,狮门也就失去了它本身的特质,很难再有太大发展。 The girls will oppose never that any decision of Eric, heard him to deny own idea without hesitation, did not ask the reason, said: This, then on consider as finished.” 丫头是从来不会反对艾瑞克的任何决定的,听到他毫不犹豫地否定了自己的想法,也不问原因,就道:“这样啊,那就算了。” Eric looks that girl held sipping of one cup of orange juice cat to sip, smiles is helping her reorganize some formal clothes pectoral girdles of sliding, said: Lion gate small company could depart from the classics and betray principle like this, but Metro Goldwyn Mayer actually cannot such do, cannot to ignore own subsidiary company such do. However, the cooperation actually yes, we can these business potentials be good, but does not suit the alternative movie that we distribute to give like this small company.” 艾瑞克看着身旁丫头捧着一杯橙汁小猫似的啜啊啜,微笑着帮她整理了一下有些下滑的礼服肩带,道:“狮门这样的小公司或许可以离经叛道一些,但米高梅却不能这么做,也不能放任自己的子公司这么做。不过,合作却是可以的,我们可以把那些商业潜力不错但又不适合我们自己发行的另类影片交给这样的小公司。” In the memory, «Fahrenheit 9/11» in the face of the Disney high-level opposition, was given by Weinstein Brothers to the lion gate Film Industry release. 记忆中,《华氏911》就是在迪斯尼高层的反对下,被韦恩斯坦兄弟转让给了狮门影业发行。 This movie has created the documentary film Box Office record of global 200 million USD, but the majority of profits belong to Disney actually as before, in the meantime, Disney has not actually taken the political risk that this movie creates. 这部影片创造了全球两亿美元的纪录片票房纪录,但大部分利润其实依旧归迪斯尼所有,同时,迪斯尼却并没有承担这部影片造成的政治风险。 Meets lion gate Film Industry Boss Frank Gustad is only a very common interlude, in Eric afterward chat from girl there knows that the opposite party is her previous time for e! When the entertainment child channel goes to Washington, by way of the Clinton introduction, Frank Gustad is one of the Clinton campaign fund supporters. 遇到狮门影业老板弗兰克・古斯塔只是一个很不起眼的插曲,艾瑞克后来的聊天里从丫头那里知道对方是她上次为了e!娱乐子频道去华盛顿时,经由克林顿介绍的,弗兰克・古斯塔是克林顿的竞选资金支持者之一。 Celebrates the second day after party, the Eric thoughts change shift to the transformation of «Gravity» astronaut hard helmet in once more. 庆祝派对后的第二天,艾瑞克的心思变再次转移到《地心引力》宇航员头盔的改造上。 Eric only planned the coverglass demolition, replenishes later through CG Special Effects. 艾瑞克原本只打算将玻璃罩拆除,后期通过g特效添补上去。 But in the transformation process, Eric discovered once more that the coverglass is in -line in the hard helmet, if demolishes the coverglass, later will want is very as before tedious the g coverglass inserting hard helmet. In the reality can also disassemble the coverglass surrounding part, wraps the coverglass, but later in special effect process, actually impossible also disassembling the hard helmet in picture, goes in the g model sets directly, the picture engagement edge is very easy to present the slight defect. 但在改造过程中,艾瑞克再次发现,玻璃罩是内嵌在头盔内的,如果只是拆除玻璃罩,后期想要将g玻璃罩嵌入头盔依旧会很繁琐。现实中还可以将玻璃罩周围的部件拆开,把玻璃罩套进去,但后期特效过程中,却不可能将画面中的头盔也‘拆开’,直接将g模型套进去,画面衔接边缘很容易出现瑕疵。 To solve this problem, Eric and Robert around Byron's also demolishes coverglass several seal parts, carries on g modeling processing to the coverglass surrounding part, forms a complete g module with the g coverglass together. 为了解决这个问题,艾瑞克罗伯特・拜伦将玻璃罩周围的几个密封部件也拆除掉,对玻璃罩周围的部件进行g建模处理,与g玻璃罩一起形成一个完整的g模块。 These work sound to be very troublesome, but in fact, dismantles the hard helmet, installs the sensor, conducts the g modeling test, these work with the digital domain formidable technical support, only used two days of time basically to handle. 这些工作听起来很麻烦,但实际上,将头盔拆解,安装传感器,进行g建模测试,这些工作在数字领域强大的技术支持下,只用了两天时间就基本搞定。 Since the working day, «Gravity» shoots has not delayed completely makes a fresh start, after short wearing, Jodie Foster and George Clooney adapted to the new equipment quickly. 进入工作日,《地心引力》的拍摄完全没有耽搁地重新开始,经过短暂的磨合,朱迪福斯特乔治克鲁尼很快就适应了新的设备。 Eric is almost engrossed in reading sacred books and oblivious to what happening in the world for shoots «Gravity». However, regarding the North America media and general publics, these days and Firefly system related news were really many. 艾瑞克为了拍摄地心引力》几乎是两耳不闻窗外事。不过,对于北美媒体和普通民众来说,这段时间与萤火虫体系有关的新闻实在是多了一些。 The new week just started, the Firefly investment and AOL Board of Directors holds the press conference, announced that various AOL major stockholders will invest to buy up Firefly to invest 16 500,000 stock stocks by 4 billion USD prices together, occupies 10% of AOL total capital stock. 新的一周刚刚开始,萤火虫投资和美国在线董事会就召开新闻发布会,宣布美国在线各大股东将以40亿美元的价格共同出资买入萤火虫投资1650万股股票,占据美国在线总股本的10%。 Meanwhile, John Mark also announced at this release conference Morgan Stanley will have exclusive selling rights in the Firefly investment hand the plans of another 247 50,000 stock stocks. 同时,约翰马克也在这次发布会上也公布了摩根士丹利将包销萤火虫投资手中另外2475万股股票的计划。 After two plans are completed, the ownership percentage of Firefly investment to AOL will reduce to 7.6%, and other increasing of original AOL shareholder holds the behavior along with the Pioneer Group, Goldman Sachs, when the time comes, the Firefly investment will withdraw from the AOL major stockholder first five ranks. 两份计划完成之后,萤火虫投资对美国在线的持股比例将会降低到7.6%,随着先锋集团、高盛等原美国在线股东的增持行为,到时候,萤火虫投资将会退出美国在线大股东前五名的行列。 Chris also openly indicated at the release conference, after reducing 25% AOL stocks, the Firefly investment within next one year, will not have again any reduces the plan of AOL stock. 克里斯在发布会上也公开表示,减持25%的美国在线股份之后,萤火虫投资在未来一年之内,不会再有任何减持美国在线股票的计划。 Although many Wall Street analyst's the stock to Morgan Stanley has exclusive selling rights the plan to have the reservation, thinks that the AOL stock price is high, the investment risk is very big. However, nobody will actually suspect whether powerful Morgan Stanley can digest this value 6 billion USD stock sale contract. 虽然很多华尔街分析师对摩根士丹利的这份股票包销计划持保留态度,认为美国在线股价偏高,投资风险很大。不过,却没有人会怀疑实力雄厚的摩根士丹利是否能够消化掉这笔价值60亿美元的股票销售合约。 Therefore, the stimulation of this release conference to AOL stock price also appears gets quick results. 因此,这场发布会对美国在线股价的刺激也显得立竿见影。 Along with convention of release conference, covers on AOL over half a month the Firefly investment reducing shadow dissipates finally. The AOL stock price rebounded on the powerful in Monday same day once more 5.6%, the stock odd-numbered days turnover broke through 1 billion USD, the AOL market value also at one fell swoop breaks through 46 billion USD critical junctions, the entire NASDAQ index presented obvious rising under the powerful rebound of AOL stock price. 随着发布会的召开,笼罩在美国在线身上大半个月的萤火虫投资减持阴影终于消散。美国在线股价在周一当天就再次强势反弹5.6%,股票单日成交量突破10亿美元,美国在线市值也一举冲破460亿美元大关,整个纳斯达克指数都在美国在线股价的强势反弹下出现了明显的上扬。 On the other hand, many people also note, once successfully completes to occupy reducing of AOL 25% stock shares, this transaction will give Firefly to invest to bring 10 billion USD cashes. 另一方面,很多人也注意到,一旦顺利完成占据美国在线25%股票份额的减持,这笔交易将给萤火虫投资带来100亿美元的现金。 As a pure equity investment company, even if considered that the reducing cost as well as the later period reach as high as 20% capital interest taxes, the cash reserve that the Firefly investment will have in the future will also be an impressive degree. 作为一家纯粹的股权投资公司,即使考虑到减持成本以及后期高达20%的资本利得税,萤火虫投资未来将持有的现金储备也会达到一个让人惊叹的程度。 Must know, even if among the world 500 strong business tycoons, has near 10 billion USD to control the cash reserve the company to be also few freely. 要知道,哪怕是世界500强的企业巨头当中,拥有近百亿美元可自由支配现金储备的公司也寥寥无几。 In cash flow rich Walmart with many person impressions, the cash flow of retail profession naturally is very huge, but this time Walmart year turnover just broke through 100 billion USD, because the cost of human resources disbursements of itself huge purchasing costs as well as over a million staff need to consume a lot of cashes, cash reserve in fact 5 billion USD that Walmart maintains. 就拿很多人印象中现金流量丰厚的沃尔玛来说,零售行业的现金流自然是非常庞大,但此时的沃尔玛年营业额才刚刚突破1000亿美元,由于本身庞大的进货成本以及上百万员工的人力资源成本支出都需要消耗大量现金,沃尔玛保持的现金储备实际上连50亿美元都不到。 Compares, cash reserve that in the Firefly investment hand has, has the business tycoon of same level scale cash reserve to have the gold content compared with other, because the ratio of debt to net worth of Firefly investment is 0, without any debt, all subsidiary business conditions is also good, does not need to reserve the emergency fund, means that the Firefly investment can defer to own wish to control this huge fund completely at will. 相比起来,萤火虫投资手中持有的现金储备,比其他拥有同等规模现金储备的企业巨头更具含金量,因为萤火虫投资的负债率是0,没有任何负债,旗下的所有子公司经营状况也都非常良好,不需要预留应急资金,也就意味着萤火虫投资可以完全按照自身的意愿随意支配这笔庞大的资金。 When as big as small on own initiative is helping Firefly invest as gossip tabloid newspaper various aspect media as Wall Street specialized economy magazine how offering advice should spend this sum of money, on Wednesday, the Los Angeles century city, Metro Goldwyn Mayer also to the outside announced the 《Charlie's Angels》 series three people of groups and companies sign another two agent movie universe sequels the news. 当大到华尔街专业经济杂志小到八卦小报的各方面媒体都在主动帮萤火虫投资‘出主意’该怎么花这笔钱时,周三,洛杉矶世纪城,米高梅也对外宣布了《霹雳娇娃》系列三人组与公司签署另外两部特工电影宇宙续集的消息。 Many people to last year 007 series of actor the salary conflict between Pierce Brosnan and Metro Goldwyn Mayer had a vivid memory, no one has thought that once more will blow possibly a 《Charlie's Angels》 series of salary disturbance, such quietly without interest settled down, simply has not caused the mighty waves in many person imagination. 很多人都对去年007系列男主角皮尔斯・布鲁斯南与米高梅之间的片酬争端记忆犹新,谁也没有想到,原本可能会再次刮起一场片酬风波的《霹雳娇娃》系列,就这么悄声无息地尘埃落定,根本没有引起很多人想象中的波澜。 Although Metro Goldwyn Mayer does not have the announcement detailed employment term, but the Hollywood specialized media can also expect that according to Eric Williams disposition, if three people of the salary conditions of group starting out are too high, Metro Goldwyn Mayer is in any event impossible to agree. 虽然米高梅没有公布详细的合约条款,但好莱坞的专业媒体也能够预料到,按照艾瑞克威廉姆斯的性格,如果三人组开出的片酬条件太高,米高梅无论如何都不可能同意。 Therefore, most people guessed that in this salary negotiations, the 《Charlie's Angels》 three people of group affirmations has made making concessions on own initiative. 因此,大部分人都猜测,在这次片酬谈判中,《霹雳娇娃》三人组肯定主动做出了退让。 Some well-informed media even inquired certain details that on «Charlie's Angels 3» celebration party had, was only, related to Eric Williams, these gossip news definitely cannot ascend splendidly in the publication. 一些消息灵通的媒体人甚至打听到了《霹雳娇娃3》庆功派对上发生的某些细节,只是,涉及到艾瑞克威廉姆斯,这些八卦消息肯定是不能堂而皇之地登在报刊上的。 However, in any event, the 《Charlie's Angels》 series stepped over the Hollywood trilogy spell smoothly, this is actually a fact. 不过,无论如何,《霹雳娇娃》系列顺利迈过了好莱坞三部曲魔咒,这却已经是一个不争的事实。 After double week broken 200 million USD, under the «Scorpion King» pressure, the weekend three days of Box Office decline ranges of «Charlie's Angels 3» third weeks locks in 46% finally, receives 2811 ten thousand USD again, Box Office is 2. 3.2 billion USD. 双周破两亿美元之后,在《蝎子王》的压力下,《霹雳娇娃3》第三周的周末三天票房跌幅最终锁定在46%,再收2811万美元,累计票房达到2.32亿美元 After «Scorpion King», the entire summer files, except for the «File» movie version of the end of July, do not have any heavyweight big manufacture to screen again, the reputation as well as the Box Office trend of therefore, according to «Charlie's Angels 3» showing, this movie North America Box Office will break the 300 million USD critical junction to be relaxed. 《蝎子王》之后,整个暑期档,除了七月底的《档案》电影版,再也没有任何一部重量级大制作上映,因此,按照《霹雳娇娃3》展现出来的口碑以及票房走势,这部影片北美票房突破3亿美元大关将会非常轻松。 North America Box Office points to 300 million USD, global is hopeful to attack 1 billion USD critical junction, three Heroine completed the supplementary contract, the movie stepped over the trilogy spell successfully...... This a series of advantage good news, are similar to cardiotonics, the force is stimulating the Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock price. 北美票房直指3亿美元,全球有望冲击10亿美元大关,三位女主角完成续约,影片成功迈过三部曲魔咒……这一系列利好消息,如同一针针强心剂,强力刺激着米高梅的股价。 The third week that entire «Charlie's Angels 3» screen, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock price almost rises along with Box Office of this movie together rapidly. For several days, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer market value was highest rushed to 25 300 million USD, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer general shareholders has naturally been wild with joy, when with initially just completed the purchase conformity is less than compared with 5 billion USD market values, they in the short more than three years, have harvested over 400% repayments from the Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock. 整个《霹雳娇娃3》上映的第三周,米高梅股价几乎随着这部影片的票房一起迅速上扬。短短几天时间,米高梅市值最高已经冲到了253亿美元,米高梅的广大股东自然是欣喜若狂,与当初刚刚完成收购整合时不到50亿美元的市值相比,他们在短短三年多时间,就从米高梅股票上收获了超过400%的回报。 In this piece focuses attention on, many media also suddenly discovered that exceeds 25 billion USD market values to calculate according to Metro Goldwyn Mayer, has Metro Goldwyn Mayer 33.56% share stocks Drew Barrymore, this age under 25-year-old girl, individual sale price in unknowingly, unexpectedly has achieved 8 500 million USD. 在这一片瞩目中,很多媒体也突然发现,按照米高梅超过250亿美元的市值来算,持有米高梅33.56%份额股票的德鲁巴里摩尔,这个年龄不到25岁的女孩,个人身价在不知不觉中,竟然已经达到了85亿美元 8 500 million USD, even if unable to register the global rich and powerful people list first ten lists, but this wealth, can make this young girl the world richest female absolutely. 85亿美元,即使无法登录全球富豪榜前十的榜单,但这笔财富,绝对能够让这个年轻女孩成为全世界最富有的女性。 When envies the exclamation, question sound naturally also inevitable. 羡慕惊叹之余,质疑声自然也不可避免。 Even if Firefly Group is having the pivotal status in the North America media profession, but on North America many media appeared questioned the girl net worth wealth valid review article variously. Pursues the equality again, but all people are clear, this entire world as before is only a male power society. If a male creates such miracle, perhaps obtains more acclaimed, but too outstanding female, almost inevitably by all kinds of conjecturing and question. 即使萤火虫集团北美传媒行业拥有着举足轻重的地位,但北美很多媒体上还是出现了各种各样质疑丫头身家财富合法性的评论文章。无论是再追求平等,但所有人都清楚,这整个世界依旧只是一个男权社会。如果一个男性创造出这样的奇迹,或许得到的更多都只是赞叹,但太出色的女性,几乎不可避免地会遭到各种各样的猜度和质疑。 The Firefly cinema city, the time unknowingly again arrived at Friday. 萤火虫影城,时间不知不觉已经再次来到了周五。 The time is the night falls, the cinema city majority of staff have gotten off work, in the dining room on steamship, Elizabeth and Eric opposite sit, in the hand holds the menu to turn careless, on the Elizabeth mouth is actually not the bountiful person: 8 500 million USD, our family/home probably also these many years, you give her these many, did not fear that the one day of this girl does get angry with you suddenly, what asks a handsome boy to marry air/Qi your?” 时间已经是夜幕降临,影城大部分员工都已下班,大船上的餐厅里,伊丽莎白艾瑞克对面而坐,手里捧着菜单漫不经心地翻着,伊丽莎白嘴上却是不饶人:“85亿美元呢,我们家大概也就这么多年,你给她这么多,难道就不怕有一天这妮子突然和你翻脸,找个小白脸嫁掉气你什么的?” Eric selects the attendant who several dishes will have repressed laughter to send with a smile, said: Words that actually, you want, I can also give you these many.” 艾瑞克笑着点了几道菜将忍着笑的侍应生打发走,道:“其实,你想要的话,我也可以给你这么多啊。”
