Waits for Gates to leave, Eric and Chris and the others through the telephone, discussed just matter, pushes the door to enter Carmen Kasies's bedroom. 等盖茨离开,艾瑞克和克里斯等人通过电话,讨论了一下刚刚的事情,才推门走进卡门・凯丝的卧室。 The girl is lying on the bed reads a document, felt that Eric came, turns head to smile toward the man, said: „Quite noisy.” 女孩正趴在床上翻看一份文件,感觉到艾瑞克进来,扭头朝男人笑了下,道:“好吵。” „Is such person,” Eric walks to be sideways to lie down by Carmen Kasies, puts out a hand to open out girl's golden hair to fish out an earphone to fill in own ear, said: „What is looking at?” “就是那样一个人,”艾瑞克走过来在卡门・凯丝旁边侧身躺下,伸手拨开女孩的金发摸出一只耳机塞到自己耳朵里,道:“在看什么？” The earphone line is somewhat short, Carmen moved the body toward Eric side, said: „Fan Sizhe's representing contract.” 耳机线有些短,卡门朝艾瑞克身旁挪了挪身子,道:“范思哲的代言合约。” As Dior golden color goddess advertisement attains greatly successfully, Carmen became in the half year rising trend quickest supermodel, even has also attained recently the United States version «VOGUE» most important nine monthly publication title pages, various types represented naturally also stream. 随着迪奥金色女神广告的大获成功,卡门已经成为这半年来上升势头最快的超级名模,甚至还拿到了最近美国版《VOGUE》最重要的九月刊封面,各类型代言自然也是纷至沓来。 Eric hears Fan Sizhe's name, spoke thoughtlessly to ask: „Other female attire product lines?” 艾瑞克听到范思哲的名字,随口问道:“女装还是其他产品线？” „Female attire,” Carmen gives Eric the contract, in the vision is bringing inquiring, said: „Paul said that I can also wait actually, could attain six big female attire to represent. However, the condition that Fan Sizhe pledges is also very good.” “女装啊,”卡门把合约递给艾瑞克,目光中带着问询,道:“保罗说我其实还可以等等,或许能拿到六大的女装代言。不过,范思哲开出的条件也很不错。” So-called six big, refers to Dior, Prada, Chanel, LV, Gucci and CK these six big luxury brands, is called six big blue blood. The Fan Sizhe, Ji Fanxi, Hermes and other brand of the styles slightly were more inferior. 所谓六大,是指Dior、Prada、Chanel、LV、Gucci、CK这六大奢侈品牌,又被称为六大蓝血。范思哲、纪梵希、爱马仕等品牌的格调就稍微逊色了一些。 Eric received the contract to turn two pages conveniently, said: „Actually, this looked at your pursue is anything. Wants the style, definitely little will make some money, wants to make money, can only put down these. Is high-end brand in representing expense is parsimonious.” 艾瑞克接过合约随手翻了两页,道:“其实,这就看你的追求是什么了。想要格调呢,肯定会少赚一些钱,想要赚钱,就只能放下这些。越是高端品牌在代言费用上就越是吝啬。” „I met.” “那我就接了。” Such the expression did intentionally is saying with ease, she actually carefully looked at eye man. Is hopes at heart can make more money, but does not hope that was treated as by him only knows woman who makes money. 这么语气故作轻松地说着,她却又小心地看了眼身旁的男人。心里是希望能够赚更多钱的,但又不希望被他当做只知道赚钱的女人。 Unknowingly, she discovered that she cares about him more and more to her view. 不知不觉中,她发现自己越来越在意他对自己的看法。 Eric sizes up girl's expression, the corners of the mouth is having some smiling faces of understanding thoroughly, said: „Actually, Fan Sizhe's style is very suitable your, the common girl may unable to haunch their design exaggeration line intense design style, when the time comes you can select several to put on to me look.” 艾瑞克打量着女孩的表情,嘴角带着些许洞彻的笑容,道:“其实,范思哲的风格还是很适合你的,一般的女孩子可撑不起他们那种设计夸张线条强烈的设计风格,到时候你可以多挑几件穿给我看。” Realized that Eric has seen through own idea, she somewhat embarrassed shunts the look of man, this gently um. 意识到艾瑞克看穿了自己的想法,她有些不好意思地躲开男人的眼神,这才轻轻嗯了一声。 The look game that slightly has experienced trying to overtake each other, Eric puts out a hand to hold Carmen's cheek to change itself finally, looks that girl you do not defend rule the small complaint expression, said: „Therefore, you affirmed that knew, I must buy IMG and Elite immediately.” 小小地体验了一下你追我赶的眼神游戏,艾瑞克最后伸手托着卡门的脸蛋转向自己,看着女孩一副你不守规则似的小控诉表情,道:“所以,你肯定已经知道了,我马上就要买下IMG和Elite。” By girl's stubborn temper, Eric knows, if did not mention on own initiative, she will not ask in any event this matter. 以女孩的倔强性子,艾瑞克知道,如果自己不主动提起,她无论如何都不会问起这件事。 Heard Eric saying that her pupil sparkled, has not actually opened the mouth, but waited for that the man continued. 听到艾瑞克这么说,她眸子闪了闪,却没有开口,只是等待男人继续说下去。 Eric actually suddenly by the girl sapphire same attractive pupil attraction, put out a hand, has delimited in her long eyelash edge carefully, feels a row of soft small brush fast to sweep in his fingertip sweeps. 艾瑞克却又突然被女孩蓝宝石一样的漂亮眸子吸引,伸手过来,小心地在她长长的睫毛边缘划过,感受着一排软软的小刷子飞快地在他指尖扫啊扫。 She feigned has not cast everywhere aside under the short lip angle, was appreciating man sudden affectionate of motionlessly. Waits for Eric to receive to reach behind the back, her body to throat searching, searched searching, finally kissed on the man lip. 她佯装不满地撇了下短短的唇角,还是一动不动地体味着男人突如其来的亲昵。等艾瑞克收回手,她的身子向前探了探,又探了探,终于吻在了男人唇上。 In September conducted the season just when four big fashion weeks, the New York fashion week had finished, Carmen in a hurry flew next day London, they have not mentioned IMG and Elite matter afterward again. 九月份正值四大时装周举办时节,纽约时装周已经结束,卡门第二天就匆匆飞去了伦敦,两人随后也没有再谈起IMG和Elite的事情。 Actually, the scale of WM Corporation is very eventually small, even if Eric has simultaneously taken IMG and Elite, will not limit the development of WM Corporation. 其实,WM公司的规模终究很小,即使艾瑞克同时拿下了IMG和Elite,也不会限制到WM公司的发展。 Compares, same profession Ford, DNA and other professional model Brokerage Firm of simultaneously purchase IMG and Elite regarding Eric actually feels the pressure to multiply, these are professional model Brokerage Firm, originally continuously is suppressing by IMG and Elite firmly, now, has the Firefly system huge media resource support, they were more difficult the date of raising one's head. 相比起来,倒是同行业的Ford、DNA等模特经纪公司对于艾瑞克同时收购IMG和Elite感到压力倍增,这些同是一线的模特经纪公司,原本就一直被IMG和Elite牢牢压制着,现在,有着萤火虫体系庞大的传媒资源支持,它们就更加难有出头之日。 However, although on the media Eric simultaneously purchased two big Brokerage Firm to question inevitably, but signed the transfer of share rights contract until finally Eric and IMG and Elite shareholder, or dreaded stemming from all kinds of considerations that nobody jumped openly to oppose this matter. 不过,虽然媒体上不可避免地艾瑞克同时收购两大经纪公司质疑了一番,但直到最后艾瑞克与IMG和Elite股东签下股权转让合约,出于各种各样的考虑或忌惮,都没有人跳出来公开反对这件事。 Naturally, to avoid in the future the possible unnecessary dispute, after buying two big Brokerage Firm, Eric also quick to involves the Hollywood proxy contract to deal with. 当然,为了避免将来可能出现的不必要纠纷,买下两大经纪公司之后,艾瑞克也很快对一些涉及到好莱坞的代理合约进行了处理。 Many professional model often have Actor Brokerage Firm in Hollywood, like Diane Kruger, the recent two years, she achievement on Actor had to surpass the symptom of professional model enterprise faintly. Regarding this professional model and entertainer of Actor double thread development, two big Brokerage Firm also start to draw up the related contract, with the aim of straightening out likely has the proxy provision of conflict. 很多模特往往也都在好莱坞有着演员经纪公司,就像黛安・克鲁格,最近两年,她在演员上的成就已经隐隐有超过模特事业的苗头。对于这种模特和演员双线发展的艺人,两大经纪公司也开始拟定相关合约,以便理顺其中可能发生冲突的代理条款。 Moreover, Eric was too not worried about the dispute in this aspect actually. 而且,艾瑞克其实对于这方面的纠纷也不是太担心。 After all, only if some people look for trouble intentionally, otherwise, he does not believe that which professional model can not give a thought to own career to jump to cause trouble. In fashion Hollywood, by the Firefly system present strength, even if supermodel, Eric wish makes the opposite party go into hiding from the profession thoroughly, is absolutely easy. 毕竟,除非有人故意找麻烦,否则,他不相信有哪位模特会不顾自己的职业生涯跳出来闹事。无论是在时尚界还是好莱坞,以萤火虫体系现在的实力,哪怕是超级名模,艾瑞克想要让对方彻底从行业内销声匿迹,也绝对轻而易举。 Took two big Brokerage Firm, Eric basically had also finished at New York here business, in mid September has then flown back to Hollywood. 拿下了两大经纪公司,艾瑞克在纽约这边的事务也基本结束,九月中旬便飞回了好莱坞。 Meanwhile, once more after Eric breaks off conversation, Microsoft also quick to the Firefly system fights back, is a suspect to encroach upon Microsoft patent with the miniature music store equipment in operating system, requesting Yahoo to stop the continuation promotion of miniature music store equipment. 与此同时,再次与艾瑞克谈崩之后,微软也很快向萤火虫体系发起反击,以迷你音乐商店设备在操作系统方面涉嫌侵犯微软专利为由,要求雅虎停止迷你音乐商店设备的继续推广。 However, compared with a series of core patents that the Firefly system grasps, Microsoft mentioned the evidence of lawsuit was actually only some involves the software configuration design and so on edge patent. 不过,和萤火虫体系掌握的一系列核心专利相比,微软提起诉讼的证据却只是一些涉及到软件外形设计之类的边缘专利。 The difference between both quite load-bearing and tiles decoration in a ground of house. A house, does not have the ground and load-bearing, definitely is unable to construct smoothly, but, exterior tiles and so on decoration, actually appears immaterial. Even if inopportune, can replace at any time. 两者之间的差别就相当于一栋房子的地基承重和瓷片装饰。一栋房子,没有地基和承重,肯定是无法顺利建起来的,但是,外部瓷片之类的装饰,却显得无关紧要。即使不合时宜,也可以随时换掉。 Therefore, the Microsoft lawsuit absolutely does not have many aggressivity regarding the Firefly system. 因此,微软的诉讼对于萤火虫体系来说根本就没有多少攻击性。 On the contrary, cannot attain the core patent authorization of Firefly system, At-Home Corporation can only close own search engine tool and advertisement distribution system, the Microsoft Zune player is also doomed unable to sell smoothly. 相反,拿不到萤火虫体系的核心专利授权,At-Home公司就只能关闭自身的搜索引擎工具和广告分销系统,微软的Zune播放器也注定无法顺利发售。 Moreover, facing the Microsoft lawsuit, Firefly first has also made the response. 而且,面对微软的诉讼,萤火虫也第一时间做出了反应。 Firefly invests openly announced that will contribute five hundred million USD , to promote to the Apple Inc. owning stocks share the hand to about 30%. 萤火虫投资公开宣布,将斥资五亿美元,将手中对苹果公司地持股份额提升到30%左右。 Recent two years, although along with the return of Jobs, the management of Apple Inc. had an improvement, but overall as before unsatisfactory, the market value has not broken through 3 billion USD throughout. As a while ago NASDAQ crashed, the Apple Inc. market value once more touched 2 billion USD valley. 最近两年,虽然随着乔布斯的归来,苹果公司的经营已经有所起色,但总体而言依旧不尽人意,市值也始终没有突破30亿美元。随着前段时间的纳斯达克崩盘,苹果公司的市值更是一度再次触及20亿美元的谷底。 Therefore, when Firefly invests openly announced news, with ease from the open market once more has bought about 7% stocks, making Firefly invest to owning stocks of Apple Inc. rises to 19%. Moreover, this about 7% stocks, only spent Firefly to invest the 150 million USD fund. 因此,萤火虫投资公开宣布消息时,已经轻松地从公开市场再次吸纳了7%左右的股票,使得萤火虫投资对苹果公司的持股上升到19%。而且,这7%左右的股票,也只花掉了萤火虫投资1.5亿美元的资金。 Although after the news announced that the Apple Inc. stock price rose sharply, Jobs was actually critical situation, telephoned to Eric directly inquired that the intention of Firefly investment, and routinely to resign to threaten, requesting the Firefly investment not to meddle the management of Apple Inc.. 虽然消息宣布之后,苹果公司的股价大涨,乔布斯却是如临大敌,直接打电话给艾瑞克询问萤火虫投资的意图,并习惯性地以辞职相威胁,要求萤火虫投资不得插手苹果公司的管理。 Does not arrive at the necessary time, Eric truly does not have any to meddle the Apple Inc. thought. 不到必要时刻,艾瑞克确实没有任何插手苹果公司的念头。 However, Eric has not concealed own intention to Jobs, spoke frankly that the Firefly system needs patent support of Apple in operating system. Although is very discontented, Jobs agreed will be authorized to a series of patents of Windows system simultaneously is authorized to the Firefly electron. 不过,艾瑞克也没有对乔布斯隐瞒自己的意图,坦言萤火虫体系需要苹果在操作系统方面的专利支持。虽然很是不满,乔布斯还是同意了将授权给Windows系统的一系列专利同时授权给萤火虫电子。 Actually, Eric also has to think continues to prop up Apple according to its path development originally. Just, after careful consideration, Eric gave up this thought. Basic reason on Jobs. 其实,艾瑞克也不是没有想过继续扶植苹果按照它原本的轨迹发展。只不过,仔细考虑之后,艾瑞克还是放弃了这个念头。根本原因还是在乔布斯身上。 Person who Jobs is one has talent very much, this point is without a doubt, but, Jobs tenacious to a great extent will actually affect the smooth development of Apple. 乔布斯是一个很有才华的人,这一点毋庸置疑,但同时,乔布斯的固执却又在很大程度上会影响到苹果的顺利发展。 In the Apple historical development path originally, Jobs can be said as twice ‚departure’ Apple, one time was dismissed by Board of Directors, because a time died. But a very obvious fact is, although Jobs was Apple has built the deep foundation twice, but profit eruption of Apple, actually after Jobs ‚departure’. 苹果原本的历史发展轨迹中,乔布斯可以说是两次‘离开’苹果,一次被董事会开除,一次因为死亡。而很明显的一个事实就是,虽然乔布斯两次都为苹果打下了深厚的基础,但苹果的利润爆发,却都是在乔布斯‘离开’之后。 With once iPod series player, Apple has sold this model of product in 2001, the closeness strategy that but because Jobs adheres stubbornly to own opinions, only allows iPod to operate in the Apple operating system, therefore has wasted in vain for nearly four years. 就拿曾经的iPod系列播放器来说,苹果在2001年就发售了这款产品,但由于乔布斯固执己见的封闭性策略,只允许iPod在苹果操作系统上运行,因此白白浪费了将近四年时间。 Until 2005, Jobs was stubborn finally Board of Directors and consensus of opinion of management, announced that iPod was open to the Windows system, the sales volume of this model of product finally started to erupt. But at that time, along with the music cell phone and other popularizations of portable electronic equipment, iPod already had actually missed the best expansion opportunity, even starts to move toward the decline. 直到2005年,乔布斯最终拗不过董事会和管理层的一致意见,宣布iPod向Windows系统开放,这款产品的销量才终于开始爆发。但那个时候,随着音乐手机等便携式电子设备的普及,iPod却早已错过了最佳的扩张时机,甚至开始走向没落。 As for afterward iPhone, does not want to see difficultly, if Jobs had not passed away, by his tenacious disposition, in the trend more and more obvious situation of smartphone big screen, Apple will not make that flexible change absolutely, iPhone very likely continues to insist 3.5 inches small screen strategy. 至于后来的iPhone,不难想见,如果乔布斯没有去世,以他的固执性格,在智能手机大屏化的趋势越来越明显的情况下,苹果绝对不会做出那么灵活的改变,iPhone很可能继续坚持3.5英寸的小屏策略。 Then, in the time of smartphone rapid growth, the profession will not give the Apple four years like iPod obviously again the conversion concept. Once the Apple cell phone continues to insist that the small screen strategy, the Android system catches up, the final outcome can only be the iPhone cell phone once more like other Apple products, gradually degenerates into the high-end the small numerous electronic products. 那么,在智能手机快速发展的时代,行业显然不会像iPod那样再给苹果四年时间去转变观念。一旦苹果手机继续坚持小屏策略,安卓系统又后来居上,最终结果只能是iPhone手机再次像苹果其他产品那样,逐渐沦为高端的小众电子产品。 In the final analysis, the Jobs disposition was doomed he to move toward successfully, but was also doomed he to move toward the failure. 归根结底,乔布斯的性格注定了他会走向成功,但也注定了他会走向失败。 As Eric returns to Los Angeles, 1999 TV series in the fall files act drop also along with it pull. 随着艾瑞克返回洛杉矶,1999年度的电视剧秋季档大幕也随之拉开。 ABC TV Network this autumn principal meticulously has naturally prepared one year of «United States Idol». ABC电视网这个秋天的主打自然是精心准备了一年之久的《美国偶像》。 Then, although «Pop Idol» of United Kingdom version obtained successfully, but most starts, the high level of ABC group regarding «United States Idol» whether can adapt to the North America market environment appears is not so is confident. Some management also proposed that first quarter «United States Idol» places the summer files of June to broadcast, in this case, even if program viewing ratio failure, will not cause the too serious losses. 说起来,虽然英国版的《流行偶像》已经获得成功,但最开始,ABC集团的高层对于《美国偶像》是否能够适应北美的市场环境显得并不是那么信心十足。一些高管还提议将第一季的《美国偶像》放在六月份的夏季档播出,这样的话,即使节目收视率失败,也不会造成太严重的损失。 Eric is also clear, traditional four big public TV Station became more and more conservative, this also mainly shoulders the responsibility because of the TV Network high-level worry reception unfavorable situation actually, after all, a program failure of grade of key promotion, often means that the following two quarters some TV Network time interval's reception is low. 艾瑞克也清楚,传统的四大公共电视台已经变得越来越保守,这其实也主要是因为电视网高层担心收视失利而承担责任,毕竟,一档重点推广的节目失败,往往意味着接下来两个季度的电视网某个时段的收视低迷。 Naturally, Eric naturally cannot accept the TV Network high-level conservative strategy, but insisted that has placed the autumn files «United States Idol». Since Big Boss decides personally, the sound of opposition has also been short. 当然,艾瑞克自然不会接受电视网高层的保守策略,而是坚持将《美国偶像》放在了秋季档。既然大老板亲自拍板,反对的声音也就少了很多。 In any event, even if failed, the responsibility is also Eric I undertakes, even if must draw a management to be a scapegoat, but if must be a scapegoat for BOSS, the person who is willing such to be really will not be few. 无论如何,即使是失败了,责任也是艾瑞克本人来承担,即使要拉出来一个高管背锅,但如果要替BOSS背锅,愿意这么做的人还真不会太少。 However, this singer selected the viewing ratio performance of Reality Show actually finally to stem from the expectations of many person, even in being better also compared with Eric imagination. 不过,这部歌手选拔真人秀的收视率表现却最终出乎了很多人的预料,甚至比艾瑞克想象中的还要好。 The anthology on September 16 the first broadcast, as a result of ahead of time full propaganda, the anthology beginning broadcasting reception population broke through 19 million people. Moreover, the afterward first volume of reception data actually has not presented the traditional futures, but rises. 剧集在9月16日首播,由于提前的充分宣传,剧集开播收视人数就突破了1900万人次。而且,随后的第一集收视数据却并没有呈现传统的下跌趋势,而是一路走高。 Finally, the «United States Idol» first volume of average reception population achieves 2 2.3 million, when the first volume of viewing ratio close to ending is to reach as high as 2 6 million. 最终,《美国偶像》的第一集平均收视人数就达到2230万,首集临近结尾时的收视率更是高达2600万。 Although cannot create initially «Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?» and «Survivor» two Reality Show reception miracles, but expands in recent wired TV Network in the situation that unceasingly continues to nibble the public TV Network market share, a grade of beginning broadcasting reception population can surpass 20 million Reality TV Show, absolutely is very successful. 虽然没能创造当初《谁会成为百万富翁》和《幸存者》两部真人秀的收视奇迹,但在最近几年有线电视网不断扩张持续蚕食公共电视网市场份额的情况下,一档开播收视人数就能超过2000万的真人秀节目,绝对是非常成功的。 Meanwhile, success of «United States Idol», has made up for ABC TV Network smoothly, because 《Friends》 terminates the popularity of creating to lose. 同时,《美国偶像》的成功,也顺利弥补了ABC电视网由于《老友记》完结而造成的人气损失。 Although «Survivor» and reception result of «ER» two popular anthology also start to fall in recent years, but «Everybody Loves Raymond» and rising of «United States Idol», actually also sufficiently supports the four Major TV Networks front row the ABC reception data the position. 虽然《幸存者》和《急诊室的故事》两部热门剧集的收视成绩最近几年也开始滑落,但《人人都爱雷蒙德》和《美国偶像》的崛起,却也足以将ABC收视数据撑到四大电视网前列的位置。 Along with screening of «United States Idol», the autumn files popular anthology of entire Firefly system television platform also one after another starts to return is fooled. 随着《美国偶像》的上映,整个萤火虫体系电视平台的秋季档热门剧集也陆续开始回归上档。 Lifetime TV Station three big principal «America's Next Top Model» and «Sex and the City» and «Project Runway» is maintaining very bright eye viewing ratio. Metro Goldwyn Mayer several TV Station «Desperate Housewife» and «Beverly Lovely wife» and «Beverly Girl» and other series do well similarly. FFM TV Station «hei Family» after the new season returns, again has created viewing ratio new high. Lifetime电视台的三大主打《全美超模大赛》、《欲旺都市》、《天桥骄子》都保持着非常亮眼的收视率。米高梅旗下几家电视台的《绝望主妇》、《比弗利娇妻》和《比弗利女孩》等系列同样表现出色。FFM电视台的《黒道家族》在新一季回归之后,更是再一次创造了收视率新高。 In addition , on September 21 gets online by Showtime TV Station new opera «Shameless one» that the Firefly system anticipates finally. 此外,备受萤火虫体系期待的Showtime电视台新剧《无耻之徒》最终也在9月21日上线。 The «Shameless one» first broadcast reception population finally is 1.7 million, as a TV series collection of charge wired stage, such reception performance has also been the satisfying degree. 《无耻之徒》的首播收视人数最终为1700000,作为一部收费有线台的电视剧集,这样的收视表现也达到了让人满意的程度。 Moreover, «Shameless one» similarly also quickly becomes the focal point that Commentary discussed. 而且,《无耻之徒》同样也很快成为评论界议论的焦点。 Must know that before «Shameless one», the North America TV Station mainstream anthology, basically was responding the life of United States mainstream middle class, described the United States society proportion extremely low grass-root people condition anthology quantity to be few directly. 要知道,在《无耻之徒》之前,北美电视台的主流剧集,基本上都是在反应美国主流中产阶级的生活,直接描绘美国社会比例极低的底层民众状态的剧集数量却非常少。 Meanwhile, «Shameless one» that scarlet bare bare to floor unimportant person to survive almost does not have the values of traditional sense of right or wrong to describe , has powerful impulse regarding many people. 同时,《无耻之徒》那种赤倮倮的对底层小人物为了生存几乎毫无传统是非观念的价值观描述,对于很多人来说也有着非常强烈的冲击力。 Perhaps is this performance extremely in fierce, although Commentary regarding anthology's appraisal is primarily directly, the values that but majority of film critic displays regarding «Shameless one» are also grasping the critique manner of not mincing matter. 或许是这种表现太过于剧烈,虽然评论界对于剧集本身的评价都以正面为主,但大部分影评人对于《无耻之徒》表现出来的价值观也秉持着毫不掩饰的批判态度。
