car accelerates to sail to the road, Eric recalled that just situation, somewhat sighed with emotion: „Cannot think really that besides several big TV Station, collected including hbo this type of wired stage, but, what condition did Michael Eisner send for is?” 汽车加速驶向公路,艾瑞克回想起刚刚的情况,有些感慨道:“真想不到,除了几大电视台之外,连hbo这种有线台都凑上来了,不过,迈克尔.艾斯纳派人来是什么状况？” 《Friends》 makes the proud progress, as the Eric assistant, in addition was just pursued the superiority feeling that stops up to have by one group of people, Alan also slightly somewhat is at heart excited, hears the Eric issue, thinks saying: „I thought that Mr. Eisner should act for ABC.” 《老友记》取得骄人的成绩,作为艾瑞克的助理,再加上刚刚被一群人追堵而产生的优越感,艾伦心里也微微有些激动,听到艾瑞克问题,想了想道:“我觉得,艾斯纳先生应该是替abc出面的。” Eric remembered previous life Disney to purchase the ABC TV Station matter instantaneously, when although Eric recorded not clear previous life Disney to purchase ABC, but to the present definitely also many years, Michael Eisner can the present act for ABC? 艾瑞克瞬间就想起了前世迪斯尼收购abc电视台的事情,不过,虽然艾瑞克记不清楚前世迪斯尼什么时候收购abc的,但离现在肯定还有好多年时间,迈克尔.艾斯纳怎么会现在就替abc出面？ Noted the Eric doubts expression from the rear view mirror, Alan explained on own initiative: „Relations between Disney and ABC are always very close, I have watched the Disney's animated cartoon in ABC TV Station in childhood.” 从后视镜上注意到了艾瑞克疑惑的表情,艾伦主动解释道:“迪斯尼与abc之间的关系一向是非常紧密的,我小时候就一直在abc电视台看迪斯尼的动画片。” Eric some suddenly, said immediately: „Alan, you helped me reorganize material between Disney and ABC over the two days come out.” Thinks, added one: „Reorganizes to me several other big TV Station and Hollywood seven big between relations.” 艾瑞克有些恍然,随即道:“艾伦,这两天你帮我整理出一份迪斯尼和abc之间的资料出来吧。”想了想,又加了一句:“把其他几大电视台与好莱坞七大之间的关系都给我整理一份。” „Does not have the issue, but this probably takes about one week.” Alan has turned head to say. “没问题,不过这可能需要一个星期左右。”艾伦扭过头道。 „It is not anxious, you do slowly, what is most important is accurate.” “不急,你慢慢做,最重要的是要准确。” „I understand, Eric, do we go now?” Alan also asked that in front of the bystander, Alan always called Eric is Mr. Williams. However said the Eric name in secret, this was Eric has urged specially, Alan after all already quick 30 year, compared with Eric this body big almost ten years old. If called in secret also seriously, will feel that including Eric was irritable. “我明白,艾瑞克,现在我们去哪？”艾伦又问道,在外人面前的时候,艾伦一向称呼艾瑞克为威廉姆斯先生。不过私下里却直呼艾瑞克的名字,这是艾瑞克特意叮嘱过的,艾伦毕竟已经快三十岁了,比艾瑞克这具身体大了差不多十岁。如果私下里称呼也一本正经的,连艾瑞克自己都会感觉到非常别扭。 Eric wants not to want directly saying: „Goes home, now is evening. Any matter eagerly for a while, does not need to disturb others now. I go back they to call to call one with Jeffrey well.” 艾瑞克想也不想就直接道:“回家,现在已经是晚上了。什么事都不急于一时,没必要现在去打扰别人。我回去跟杰弗里他们打电话招呼一声就好。” Returns to the Beverly Hills mansion. Alan and driver help Eric move in the villa the baggage together, small girl that waits for Eric to come back did not wait for the bystander to leave, plunges one bunch of baggage to start to look for the gift. Eric favored to drown has knocked several on the small girl forehead, delivered Alan and driver leaves. 回到贝弗利山豪宅。艾伦和司机一起帮艾瑞克将行李搬进别墅,一直等着艾瑞克回来的小妮子不等外人离开,就扑向一堆行李开始找礼物。艾瑞克宠溺地在小妮子脑门上敲了几下,才送艾伦和司机离开。 „About these days arrangement, if the invitation about Fox aspect, finds the excuse to help me turn down, other TV Station have the contact to see on the arrangement time.” Stands in the villa entrance, Eric said to Alan near the car(riage) like this. “关于这几天的安排,如果是关于福克斯方面的邀请的话,找借口帮我推掉,其他电视台有接触的话就安排时间见一下。”站在别墅门口,艾瑞克在车边这样对艾伦说道。 Alan also knows. Eric this is must wait for a better price in several big TV Station, but has doubts asks: „Eric, personally what to do if Murdoch does walk in?” 艾伦也知道。艾瑞克这是要在几大电视台之间待价而沽,不过还是疑惑地问道:“艾瑞克,要是默多克亲自找上门怎么办？” „He,” Eric will not say self-confidently: „Before dispatched the private plane to go to Venice to meet my several petty actions personally, Fox for the following negotiations sincerity, moreover did as before appears somewhat anxious. If Old Murdoch cannot bear visits personally, I immodestly maliciously butchered certainly a blade to say again.” “他不会的,”艾瑞克自信地说道:“之前派遣私人飞机亲自去威尼斯接我那几个小动作,福克斯只是在为后面的谈判表达诚意,而且那么做依旧显得有些急切了。老默多克要是忍不住亲自上门,那我当然就不客气地狠狠宰上一刀再说了。” „Eric, do you have the plan are 《Friends》 trade TV Station?” Alan smiled asks, but after opening the mouth, somewhat regretted, this issue is somewhat sensitive. “艾瑞克,你有打算为《老友记》换一家电视台吗？”艾伦笑了笑才问道,不过开口之后就有些后悔了,这个问题有些敏感。 Eric is certainly impossible to tell Alan his plan. Although Alan always compares to fulfill duty to fulfill responsibility, but difficult insurance not to receive the benefit tempts | is puzzled, but disclosed something. Wants a person to maintain loyal, most important is try not to give the opposite party sufficiently betrayal the chip. If the match knew his some plans through Alan. Then, Eric will be very difficult to gain the biggest benefit again. 艾瑞克当然不可能告诉艾伦他的打算。虽然艾伦一向都比较尽职尽责,不过也难保不会受到利益的诱丨惑而将一些事情透露出去。想要一个人保持忠诚,最重要的就是尽可能不要给予对方足以背叛的筹码。如果对手通过艾伦知道了他的一些打算。那么,艾瑞克将很难再从中获取最大的利益。 However, he also from the Alan expression noticed that the opposite party does not have a mind to ask this issue, said with a smile: „This must certainly look at all parties' offer, we must certainly choose price highest that.” 不过,他也从艾伦的表情中看到对方并不是有心问出这个问题的,微笑道:“这个肯定是要看各方的报价了,我们肯定要选择价钱最高的那个。” Alan nodded, had not asked again that said goodbye to leave quickly. 艾伦点了点头,没有再多问,很快告辞离开了。 Returns to the villa, the telephone in living room had been answered by Drew, therefore Eric has to just draw a charge that morning like the 《Friends》 reception result. Has made the phone calls of 1-2 hours once more continuously. This Rupert Murdoch also personally made the phone call, inviting Eric to have the lunch tomorrow together. Eric found several excuses to reject the opposite party casually. 回到别墅,客厅里的电话已经被德鲁接了起来,于是艾瑞克不得不像《老友记》收视结果刚刚出炉那个早上一样。再次连续打了一两个小时的电话。这一次鲁伯特.默多克也亲自打来了电话,邀请艾瑞克明天一起共进午餐。艾瑞克随便找了几个理由拒绝了对方。 He plans at least first to contact to set the example with several other big TV Station, making Fox feel enough sense of urgency. Then discussed the transaction, this can the maximum benefit. Although such earnest of several other big TV Station performance, but Eric had not planned from the beginning is 《Friends》 replaces the plan of TV Station. 他打算至少先跟其他几大电视台接触一下做做样子,让福克斯感到足够的紧迫感。然后再谈交易,这样才能利益最大化。虽然其他几大电视台表现的如此热切,但艾瑞克一开始就没有打算为《老友记》更换电视台的打算。 Compares in ‚young’ Fox, several other big TV Station are more like already hoary-headed old man, even if the opposite party puts down the figure and Eric cooperates, unavoidable meeting ‚taking advantage of own seniority’. But Fox was different, Eric knows that previous life Fox used for short more than ten years to develop with three big TV Station shoulder to shoulder North America videoland giants. But except for Eric, even if News Corp helmsman Murdoch is impossible to know these, impossible to have enough confidence to the Fox TV Network prospect, in this case, the importance of 《Friends》 to Fox is out of the ordinary. 相比于‘年纪轻轻’的福克斯,其他几大电视台更像是已经白发苍苍的老头子,即使对方放下身段与艾瑞克进行合作,也难免会‘倚老卖老’一番。而福克斯就不同了,艾瑞克可是知道前世福克斯用了短短十多年时间就发展成了与三大电视台并肩的北美电视业巨头。但除了艾瑞克自己,哪怕是新闻集团的掌舵人默多克都不可能知道这些,同时也不可能对福克斯电视网的前景有足够的信心,这种情况下,《老友记》对福克斯的重要性就非比寻常。 Next day, the first matter that Eric does, is goes to the 《Friends》 dramatic team to search the class, at noon, under being a go-between of Michael Eisner, with catches up with Los Angeles ABC TV Station Vice Chairman to eat meal specially together, in the evening was drawn to see a NBC management by Robert Shay, on the morning of September 7, was drawn to play a morning golf by Manager of CBS Los Angeles branch. 第二天,艾瑞克做的第一件事,就是前往《老友记》的剧组探班,中午的时候,在迈克尔.艾斯纳的牵线之下,与专门赶来洛杉矶的abc电视台一位副总裁一起吃了饭,晚上被罗伯特.谢伊拉去见了nbc的一位高管,9月7号上午,又被cbs洛杉矶分部的经理拉去打了一上午的高尔夫球。 Has saying that three big TV Station pricetags very generous, the fixed-price sells outright the anthology the matter to raise has not raised, the condition that pledges directly is to participate in the TV series advertisement is divided, in material that in Eric knows, the share proportion that the opposite party starts out is quite high. Meanwhile, three big TV Station disclosed wants section of Hu Fox, takes 《Friends》 in the first quarter the meaning of following anthology. 不得不说,三大电视台价码都非常的慷慨,一口价买断剧集的事情提都没提,直接开出的条件就是参与电视剧的广告分成,而且在艾瑞克所知的资料中,对方开出的分成比例都相当高。同时,三大电视台都透露了想要截胡福克斯,拿下《老友记》第一季接下来剧集的意思。 Through these contacts, Eric also discovered that three big TV Station definitely were before reached some agreements, even has also possibly formed a loose alliance. But this ‚alliance’ actually frail gust can blow off, three big TV Station are quite keen competition relations, although will have the cooperation, but is similar among each one is impossible to allow that other two bribe their ace program to be the same, at 《Friends》 this matter, is holding the respective thoughts, because at the 《Friends》 viewing ratio, places any TV Station, will be doomed becomes the trump card. 通过这些接触,艾瑞克也发现,三大电视台肯定是之前达成了一些共识,甚至还可能形成了一个松散的联盟。但这个‘联盟’却脆弱的一阵风就可以吹散,三大电视台相互之间都是比较激烈的竞争关系,虽然会有合作,但就如同各自之间不可能容许其他两家染指自己的王牌节目一样,在《老友记》这件事上,也是抱着各自的心思,因为以《老友记》的收视率,放在任何一家电视台,都注定会成为王牌。 Although three TV Station this types achieved in the manner consistently, the manner of actually respectively attacking, caused Eric not to receive the too tremendous pressure to implement the tentative plan in oneself heart smoothly. After all, if the North America three big television giants exert pressure to him together, he definitely cannot do without considering simultaneously to offend three TV Station consequences. ( to be continued ) 三家电视台这种虽然在态度上达成了一致,却各自出击的态度,也导致了艾瑞克没有受到太大的压力就可以顺利实施自己心中的设想。毕竟,如果北美三大电视巨头一起向他施压,他肯定不可不考虑同时得罪三家电视台的后果。(未完待续)
