Although the majority of thoughts also place on 《Friends》, but Eric has not put down the matter of oneself company and movie. Returns to Los Angeles third day, Eric then with Jeffrey and Robert together, arrives at them for the new address of Firefly Film Studio choice. 虽然大部分心思还放在《老友记》上面,但艾瑞克也并没有放下自己公司和电影的事情。回到洛杉矶的第三天,艾瑞克便与杰弗里和罗伯特一起,来到他们为萤火虫电影公司选择的新地址。 „Eric, do you look what kind of here?” Three people got down a business automobile, Robert Shay have then pointed are approaching by highway seven buildings to say. “艾瑞克,你看这里怎么样？”三个人下了一辆商务车,罗伯特.谢伊便指着靠近高速公路旁的一栋七层建筑说道。 Eric raised head to size up, this office building outward appearance was the silver, has been full of the metal sense of reality, Los Angeles besides City Center, the high-rise constructions of other places were not many, therefore Burbank this seven office building also compared to conform to the Eric psychological expectation. However a moment later, Eric has referred to behind stream of vehicles such as the highway of shuttle: „Robert, can this place close to the highway, the wife quarrel?” 艾瑞克仰头打量了一番,这栋办公楼外观呈银色,充满了金属质感,洛杉矶除了市中心之外,其他地方的高层建筑并不多,因此伯班克这座七层的办公楼也比较符合艾瑞克的心理预期。不过片刻之后,艾瑞克还是指了指身后的车流如梭的高速公路:“罗伯特,这地方临近高速公路,会不会太太吵？” „,” Robert Shay will not shake the head saying: „Before I and Jeffrey, had visited each, inside sound-insulated is good, if closes the window, cannot hear outside car sound. Moreover, you looked that north this building that place we can also take together, altogether has probably 10000 flat scales, if the need, we can inner some construct several office buildings in the future again, such does not need to be worried about the issue of noise.” “不会,”罗伯特.谢伊摇头道:“我和杰弗里之前已经参观过每一层,里面的隔音非常好,如果关上窗户的话,根本听不到外面的汽车声。而且,你看,这栋楼北面的那块地我们也可以一起拿下来,总共有大概10000平尺,如果将来需要,我们可以再靠里面的一些再修建几栋办公楼,那样的话就更加不用担心噪音的问题。” Eric trades the area that consider as finished Robert Shay said subconsciously, this place general idea occupies a land area about 1000 square meters, on the map that in the assistant hands over looks, is the rectangular condition, the north and south have about 400 meters, the thing is less than 300 meters. 艾瑞克下意识换算了一下罗伯特.谢伊所说的面积,这块地大概占地1000平方米左右,在助理递过来的地图上看,呈长方形状态,南北有400米左右,东西不到300米。 „Since this, why from the beginning not place construction office building in road far point?” Eric looks at the map, gains ground to ask. “既然这样,为什么一开始没有在里公路远一点的地方建造办公楼呢？”艾瑞克看完地图,抬起头问道。 „Had the real estate company of this place is plans to construct a small commercial district here, what a pity after the year before last stock disaster, the funding chain break of that company, with enough time is only good this ceiling. Therefore, Eric, if we overall take over now. I think to Firefly, is a quite good investment.” “原本拥有这块地的房地产公司是打算在这里建造一个小型商务区的,可惜前年的股灾之后,那家公司的资金链断裂,只来得及把这栋楼盖好。所以,艾瑞克,如果我们现在全盘接手的话。我觉得对萤火虫来说,还是一笔比较好的投资的。” Eric heard these words somewhat to be excited. Buys here, Firefly also had the first real estate, what was more important, before the Eric rebirth, the real estate was the investment that made money, even if the North America housing market experienced several times such as the turbulence of sub-prime loan crisis, but the overall also presented the increasing stance. 艾瑞克听到这句话就有些心动了。买下这里,萤火虫也算是有了第一笔不动产,更重要的是,一直到艾瑞克重生之前,房地产都是一项非常赚钱的投资,哪怕北美房产市场经历了几次诸如次贷危机的动荡,但总体也呈现攀升姿态。 „If takes completely, how much money needs?” Eric asked finally. “如果全部拿下,需要多少钱？”艾瑞克最后问道。 „20 million.” Robert Shay said that seems afraid Eric to dislike expensively, Robert Shay also said: „Eric, this price is absolutely acceptable, you have a look at all around, could not discover such big land parcel in Burbank absolutely . Moreover the transportation so was developed, side was the highway.” “2000万。”罗伯特.谢伊道,似乎害怕艾瑞克嫌贵,罗伯特.谢伊又说道:“艾瑞克,这个价格绝对可以接受的,你看看四周,在伯班克绝对找不出这么大的地块了,而且交通还这么发达,旁边就是高速公路。” Eric smiled, turns head to ask that another side Jeffrey said: „Jeffrey, your opinion?” 艾瑞克笑了笑,扭头问另一边的杰弗里道:“杰弗里,你的意见呢？” „I think with Robert is the same. I also suggested that takes this place completely, here absolutely very suitable Firefly new Headquarters, I and Robert adjust checked repeatedly. Here surrounding area in five kilometers, contained Disney Headquarters, the Warner square, the Universal cinema city, several other Film Studio branches, moreover side is a small park,” Jeffrey was saying has referred to near the guide hill, said: „Eric, you look there. Crosses that hillside, is the DC's symbol.” “我跟罗伯特想的一样。我也建议把这块地全部拿下,这里绝对非常适合萤火虫的新总部,我和罗伯特反复调查过了。这里方圆五公里之内,包含了迪斯尼总部,华纳片场,环球影城,还有其他好几家电影公司的分部,而且旁边还是一个小公园,”杰弗里说着又指了指南边的山丘,道:“艾瑞克,你看那里。越过那个山坡,就是d的标志。” Eric looks following the Jeffrey vision. The gentle slope that Jeffrey refers to be extending of Beverly Hills, but he has not seen the famous Hollywood sign. 艾瑞克顺着杰弗里的目光望去。杰弗里所指的缓坡应该算是贝弗利山的延伸,不过他并没有看到大名鼎鼎的好莱坞标志牌。 „Was blocked by the hillside. However there,” Jeffrey explained: „Heard that hillside once all people were famous Howard. Hughes, but does not know that which real estate company hand now fell to.” “被山坡挡住了。不过就在那里,”杰弗里解释道:“听说那个山坡曾经的所有人可是大名鼎鼎的霍华德.休斯,只不过现在就不知道落到哪家地产公司手中了。” Looking that Eric yearns for once more wear a look to that piece of hillside. 艾瑞克再次面带向往的望向那片山坡。 Saw that Eric somewhat is in a daze slightly, Jeffrey and Robert one on the left and other on the right stand side him, looked at the past. 看到艾瑞克微微有些发愣,杰弗里和罗伯特一左一右地站在他身旁,也跟着望过去。 Howard. Hughes, the man of Hollywood a little ambition, perhaps was yearning slightly becomes second Howard. Hughes. 霍华德.休斯啊,好莱坞稍微有点野心的男人,或许都向往着成为第二个霍华德.休斯。 „Was good, here,” after a while, Eric recovers, opened the mouth to do directly had decided: „We go to have a look.” “好了,就这里吧,”过了一会儿,艾瑞克才回过神来,直接开口做了决定:“我们进去看看。” Robert Shay looks the happy expression to follow by Eric, this place is his friend said that facilitates this transaction, Robert Shay, although cannot attain any sales commission, but can actually make that New York realtor owe a favor. Naturally, the 20 million USD price does not have what moisture content, Robert Shay is also the Firefly shareholder, impossible to suffer a loss by oneself. Actually this place has such good geographical position, does not lack the buyer, even price also possibly in high, but can pay the complete fund like Firefly one time does not have, but the seller is urgently needed this sum of money to solve own financial crisis. 罗伯特.谢伊面露喜色地跟在艾瑞克旁边,这块地是他一个朋友介绍来的,促成这笔交易,罗伯特.谢伊虽然不能拿到什么回扣,但却能让那个纽约的地产商欠自己一份人情。当然,2000万美元的价格也没有什么水分,罗伯特.谢伊也是萤火虫的股东,不可能让自己吃亏。其实这块地拥有这么好的地理位置,也并不缺少买家,甚至价钱还可能在高一点,但像萤火虫这样能够一次性支付全部款项的却一个也没有,而卖家却急需这笔钱解决自己的财务危机。 Several people strolled, sits down the rest on a piece of lawn bench, Jeffrey asks: „Eric, the 《Friends》 banquet haven't you planned to participate in the evening?” 几个人逛了一圈,在一片草坪边的长椅上坐下休息,杰弗里才问道:“艾瑞克,晚上《老友记》的庆祝晚宴你还不打算参加吗？” Robert Shay also throws the attention look. 罗伯特.谢伊也投过来关注的眼神。 Eric shakes the head, immediately nodded, saw the expression that two people confuse, explained hastily with a smile: „I will go, delays again, Murdoch will definitely see anything.” 艾瑞克摇摇头,随即又点了点头,看到两个人迷惑的表情,连忙笑着解释道:“我会去的,再拖延下去,默多克肯定会看出点什么了。” Jeffrey said with a smile: „Haha, you stayed away for these days, it is estimated that the Fox some people by unbearable that you frighten, they definitely heard that now three big TV Station planned to rob the 《Friends》 following anthology the news” 杰弗里笑道:“哈哈,你这几天避而不见,估计福克斯一干人都被你吓的够呛,他们现在肯定听说三大电视台打算抢夺《老友记》接下来剧集的消息了” Eric looks up the Los Angeles deep blue sky, a face said with ease: „If they are slightly calm, will not produce worried like this, but, under the present situation, I estimated that is impossible Rupert Murdoch maintains calm.” 艾瑞克抬头望着洛杉矶碧蓝的天空,一脸轻松地说道:“如果他们稍微冷静一点,就不会产生这样的担忧了,不过,现在的形势下,我估计连鲁伯特.默多克都不可能保持冷静。” „Why is this?” Robert Shay asked curiously, but Jeffrey has also shown a not too clear expression. “这是为什么？”罗伯特.谢伊好奇地问道,而杰弗里也露出了个不太明白的表情。 Eric explained: „If three big TV Station want truncation Hu, Fox will definitely not be resigned, that then definitely has a lawsuit to hit, in this period 《Friends》 definitely could not broadcast. This lawsuit under normal conditions one dozen is one year or so, three big TV Station can tidy up Fox TV Station with these days actually calmly, suppresses its tendency of rising. But finally we also because 《Friends》 cannot broadcast took advantage of opportunity, when the lawsuit has fired off, all settle down, who knows that three big TV Station can also cash just started to our commitments.” 艾瑞克解释道:“如果三大电视台想要截胡,福克斯肯定不会甘心,那接下来肯定有一场官司要打,期间《老友记》肯定播不下去了。这种官司通常情况下一打就是一年半载,三大电视台倒是可以用这段时间从容地收拾福克斯电视台,将其崛起的势头打压下去。但最后我们也会因为《老友记》不能播放受到顺势,等官司打完了,一切尘埃落定,谁知道三大电视台还会不会兑现刚开始对我们的承诺呢。” After Robert Shay hear, suggested: „That is motionless in the first quarter. The later broadcast power to other TV Station, I makes people estimate, at three big TV Station scales. The advertising expenditure that we can attain is divided at least can also enhance over 10%.” 罗伯特.谢伊听完后建议道:“那就不动第一季。把之后的播放权给其他电视台,我让人估算过,以三大电视台的规模。我们可以拿到的广告费分成至少还可以提高10%以上。” Eric turns head to look that said to Robert Shay: „Why Robert, we do not put the vision long-term. Even if has attained high point share, we are in the position of board game piece, therefore, since there is a such good opportunity, why not to direction diligently one of the player.” 艾瑞克扭头看向罗伯特.谢伊道:“罗伯特,我们为什么不把目光放的长远一点呢。就算拿到了高一点的分成,我们还是处于棋子的位置,所以,既然有这么好的一个机会,为什么不向玩家的方向努力一把呢。” Robert Shay has gawked staring, reveals a forced smile quickly, emits a thought at heart: Was is old, was the ambition of this boy is too big? 罗伯特.谢伊愣了愣,很快露出一丝苦笑,心里不由冒出一个念头:是自己老了呢,还是这个男孩的野心太大了？ On coastal road. The purple Lamborghini ghost was being pressed the speed shuttle obviously in the stream of vehicles, sits puts on Aniston of white beam formal clothes often to put out the vanity mirron to size up on the copilot own makeup to accommodate. 沿海公路上。紫色的兰博基尼鬼怪明显被压着速度穿梭在车流中,坐在副驾驶上穿着白色束腰礼服的安妮斯顿不时拿出化妆镜打量一下自己的妆容。 „Eric, you help me have a look, does the makeup on my face have the issue?” little girl has sized up, reorganized slanting bangs before the volume, has turned head to ask Eric. “艾瑞克,你帮我看看,我脸上的妆有没有问题？”小丨妞打量了一番,又整理了一下额前的斜刘海,才扭过头问艾瑞克。 Eric holds the steering wheel to look at little girl, has turned head quickly: „Good, is very attractive. However, Jenny, your formal clothes are elect?” 艾瑞克扶着方向盘望了望小丨妞,很快扭过头:“不错,很漂亮。不过,简妮,你的礼服是自己选的吗？” „Yes. Very attractive?” If in the car(riage), Aniston definitely will not stand up demonstrates to Eric again. “是啊。很漂亮吧？”如果不是在车里,安妮斯顿肯定会站起身再向艾瑞克展示一番。 Eric endured some little time, saying: „Tomorrow I telephone to Kapoor. Let him help you look for a good point stylist, but you now the big star, must study well study dresses up himself.” 艾瑞克忍了好一会儿,才道:“明天我给卡普尔打个电话。让他帮你找一个好点的造型师,你现在可是大明星了,要好好学学装扮自己。” „Ehm,” Aniston hears the Eric mouth to emit the glossary of that big star, obviously enjoys. But little girl is not silly, understands quickly that some did not ask self-confidently: „You said...... Does my dressing up have the issue?” “嗯啊,”安妮斯顿听到艾瑞克嘴里冒出那个大明星的词汇,显然非常受用。但小丨妞也不傻,很快明白过来,有些不自信地问道:“你是说……我的装扮有问题？” Eric nodded gently, said with as far as possible temperate expression: „Actually does not have any issue, but. This formal clothes are quite suitable to attend the presentation ceremony to walk red carpet, is not quite suitable to participate in party.” 艾瑞克轻轻点了点头,用尽量温和的语气说道:“其实也没什么问题,只不过。这套礼服比较适合出席颁奖典礼走红毯,不太适合参加派对。” „...... It seems like. Probably, is not truly good. Eric, turns around quickly, I must go back to replace,” little girl lowered the head has pondered over one carefully own formal clothes, saw obviously the long dragging place skirt pendulum, immediately must ask to entrain the arm of Eric. “哇……貌似。好像确实是啊,不行。艾瑞克,快掉头,我要回去换掉,”小丨妞低头仔细琢磨了一番自己的礼服,看到明显过长的拖地裙摆,随即就要伸手过来就要拽艾瑞克的胳膊。 „Feeds, do not make, I drive.” “喂喂喂,别闹,我开车呢。” Aniston has taken back the small hand hastily, said as before: „Turns around quickly, I must go back to change the clothes, this is my first time participates in party with you together, I do not want to be ridiculed.” 安妮斯顿连忙收回了小手,依旧道:“快掉头啊,我要回去换衣服,这可是我第一次跟你一起参加派对呢,我可不想被人嘲笑。” Eric has knocked the watch on wrist: „, Goes back to come without enough time now again, certainly must be late.” 艾瑞克敲了敲腕上的手表:“来不及了,现在回去再过来,肯定要迟到了。” „......” Aniston does not lay down the small head depressed, immediately bitterly gains ground to stare at Eric: „You definitely from the beginning found that problem is right, that comes time why didn't remind me?” “唔……”安妮斯顿郁闷地埋下小脑袋,随即又恨恨地抬起头盯着艾瑞克:“你肯定一开始就发现问题了对不对,那来的时候为什么不提醒我？” „I had not responded at that time, the sensation of brightness you were attractive.” “我当时也没反应过来啊,光觉得你漂亮了。” „Snort, that present what to do?” “哼,那现在怎么办？” Eric looked at the guidepost of out of the window, said: „Has means actually, here leaves the Virginia villa to be very near, if you want, we can go to her there to have a look to have the appropriate formal clothes, I have her family's key.” 艾瑞克看了看窗外的路标,才道:“倒是有个办法,这里离维吉尼娅的别墅挺近的,如果你愿意,我们可以去她那里看看有没有合适的礼服,我有她家里的钥匙。” „No, I rather was ridiculed.” little girl crosses the head immediately. “不,我宁愿被嘲笑。”小丨妞立刻偏过脑袋。 Eric shrugs reluctantly: „Then on consider as finished, so long as you are more careful on party, should not be tripped by the skirt pendulum on the line.” 艾瑞克无奈地耸耸肩:“那就算了,只要你在派对上小心一些,不要被裙摆绊倒就行。” 《Friends》 celebration party has not chosen any hotel, but in the Murdoch family is located in a Malibu manor. 《老友记》的庆祝派对并没有选择任何一家酒店,而是在默多克家族位于马里布的一座庄园里。 sports car arrives at manor entrance, Eric gives the waiter the key, pulls Aniston to walk toward the manor. 跑车来到庄园门口,艾瑞克将钥匙交给侍者,挽着安妮斯顿向庄园里走去。 Obtains the news that Eric arrives, Rupert Murdoch and Barry Diller that arrives at ahead of time simultaneously welcomed. 得到艾瑞克到达的消息,鲁伯特.默多克和已经提前到达的巴里.迪勒同时迎了出来。 Eric somewhat is also astonished however saw, Elizabeth that several days do not see pulled Old Murdoch to welcome unexpectedly together, although the girl on the face was hanging the smiling face of virtuous young woman, but Eric actually saw from the Elizabeth face light did not prefer. ( to be continued ) 艾瑞克还有些讶然地看到,才几天不见的伊丽莎白竟然挽着老默多克一起迎了出来,女郎虽然脸上挂着很淑女的笑容,不过艾瑞克却从伊丽莎白脸上看出了淡淡不情愿。(未完待续)
