消息一出,原本对福克斯在三大电视台的觊觎之下能否保住《老友记》持悲观态度的大部分媒体态度立刻发生了180度大转变,纷纷开始表示看好福克斯电视网的发展前景。Not to mentionMurdochdisclosedFirefly that will carry out a closercooperationwithFoxTV Network, onlypreserved《Friends》thisgrade of heatto broadcastplayTV serieswithFoxTV Network, Fox, so long ascanseize the opportunity, the manufacturemore excellenttelevision programtotrain the faithfulaudiencecommunity, thenitis situated the fourthpositionto be impregnablein the North Americavideoland, eventhroughseveralyears of developmentwith concentration, surpassedthreebigTV Stationis notimpossible. Comes under the influence of thisadvantagegoodnews, the FoxTV Networkinsufficient1 billionUSDmarket valueincreasedrapidly.
且不说默多克透露出来的萤火虫将与福克斯电视网进行更加密切的合作,仅凭着福克斯电视网保住了《老友记》这档热播剧系列剧这一条,福克斯只要能够抓住机会,制作更加精良的电视节目以培养忠实观众群体,那么它在北美电视业排行第四的位置将牢不可破,甚至通过几年的潜心发展,超过原本三大电视台都不是不可能。受到这个利好消息的影响,福克斯电视网原本不足十亿美元的市值迅速攀升。
The stock transfer of TV Networkin one single daycannotbe completed, after FoxTV Networkspreads the news, threebigTV Stationnot onlyhave not given uprobbing《Friends》, the contactwithEricis instead more frequent.电视网的股份转让不是一朝一夕能够完成的,福克斯电视网放出消息之后,三大电视台不但没有放弃抢夺《老友记》,与艾瑞克的接触反而更加频繁起来。Andbecause of1985with the merger of metropolisbroadcasting company, consecutivelyseveralyears of lossABC that butwantsto stand up from failureurgentlyalsohas pledged finally even the condition of buying stock, but, ABCTV StationCEOTom Murphy was only under the Board of Directors3%stock transferauthorizations, althoughthis3%stockvaluesaretwotimes of FoxTV Station10%stocksalsomany, butEricdoes not haveanyheart movement, becauseattainsthis3%stocks, has lost moneyaccording toABCuntilby the history of Disneymerger and acquisition, the followingseveralyearsare impossibleto receiveanydraw bonus.

其中因为1985年与大都会广播公司的合并案,连续几年的亏损而最迫切想要翻身的abc最后甚至也开出了入股的条件,不过,abc电视台的ceo汤姆.墨菲只得到了董事会3%的股份转让授权,虽然这3%的股份价值是福克斯电视台10%股份的两倍还多,但艾瑞克丝毫没有任何的心动,因为拿到这3%的股份,按照abc一直亏损下去直到被迪斯尼并购的历史来看,接下来好几年都不可能收到任何分红。反而会消耗掉萤火虫一大笔资金。而且,这3%的股份也不可能为艾瑞克带来多少话语权。因此在蓬勃发展的fox和泥足深陷的abc之间,只要智商稍微正常一点。都知道该做出怎样的选择。

九月十日晚上,在《老友记》观众们的欢笑声以及其他电视公司的密切关注下。《老友记》迎来了第二周的播放。两个小时之后,尼尔森第一时间地发布了收视率统计数据,《老友记》第三、四集平均收视人数为2460万,最高收视依旧达到2900万。ThreebigTV Stationseethisdata, startedto analyzeto the 《Friends》successessential factor, finallydiscoveredthatthisTV seriesbesides the humorouscharmingplot and lines, the reason that canattain the first broadcastsuperelevationviewing ratio.

三大电视台看到这个数据,也开始对《老友记》的成功要素进行起了分析,最后发现,这部电视剧除了幽默风趣的剧情和台词之外,能够拿到首播超高收视率的原因。最重要的就是前两集由艾瑞克亲自进行导演。当然,或许以前也有电影导演转入电视剧的制作,但肯定是那些电影导演事业步入低估,实在没办法的时候,在名气如日中天的情况下,没有哪一个电影导演会‘自甘堕丨落’的去拍电视剧,因此,前几部电影都取得了巨大成功的艾瑞克亲自导演电视剧,这个噱头引起了观众强烈的好奇心,他们很想看看艾瑞克这位取得了一系列票房奇迹的导演会制作出什么样的电视剧来。而《老友记》本身的质量也达到了观众心中的预期。于是综合起来,才有了这部情景喜剧现在的火爆。Understoodthese, threebigTV Stationalmostsimultaneouslystartto get rid.

Burtonwait/etc.theseHollywoodbigDirectorreceive the high priceto invite, threebigTV Stationevenstart out, so long ascanhang a nameinsomeanthology, is willingto payover a millionsalaries the conditions.
明白了这些,三大电视台几乎同时开始出手。一时间史蒂文.斯皮尔伯格,弗朗西斯.科波拉,马丁.斯科塞斯,蒂姆.伯顿等等这些好莱坞大导演纷纷接到高价邀请,三大电视台甚至开出只要能在一些剧集上挂一个名字,就愿意支付上百万薪酬的条件。Underformidablemoneyoffensive, althoughmajority ofDirectorhas rejectedout ofall sorts ofscruples, butalsohas the personto attempt, but the resultis good.

The audienceswill think subconsciouslythisTV seriesscaleis not high, viewing ratiocorrespondingwill not be good.
在强大的金钱攻势下,虽然大部分导演出于种种顾忌都拒绝了,但也不是没有人进行尝试,而结果非常不错。挂着好莱坞大导演名头的一些美剧收视率都超出了收视预期。因此在接下来几年时间,邀请知名电影导演执导美剧的前12集。迅速形成了一股风潮。一部美剧开播,如果宣传的时候没有好莱坞知名导演坐镇挂名。观众下意识就会觉得这部电视剧的档次不高,收视率相应的也就不会多好。Naturally, matter that theseafterwardhad.
当然,这些都是后来发生的事情。
After secondweek《Friends》broadcasts, the person with high aspirationsdiscoveredthatin the television program outside FoxTV Station, the newsabout《Friends》almostcompletelyvanished, theselikewith the entertainmenttalk-show that at the current eventhot spotcarries onto tease, the directorsas ifhad not heard《Friends》 is the same.
第二周《老友记》播出之后,有心人就发现,福克斯电视台以外的电视节目里,关于《老友记》的消息差不多完全消失了,就连那些喜欢拿时事热点进行调侃的娱乐脱口秀节目上,主持人都仿佛没有听说过《老友记》一样。Clearly, thisisthreebigTV Stationregardingonestatement that the Ericrejectiontheywin overcontinuously.
很明显,这是三大电视台对于艾瑞克连续的拒绝他们拉拢的一种表态。Butthistype‚forcing out’actuallycould not causeanydamageto《Friends》, don't forget, FoxTV Stationbehindwas standingNews Corp, canpropagandizeto the television mediathisTV seriesfrom the papermediaall-around.

But a reputationdissemination of thisageTV series, newspapermagazineinalsooccupied the mainboost.
但这种‘封杀’却已经对《老友记》造成不了任何伤害,别忘了,福克斯电视台身后可是站着新闻集团,可以从纸质媒体到电视媒体全方位地对这部电视剧进行宣传。而三大电视台虽然控制了北美大部分电视媒体,但现在他们都还是单纯的电视网,没有被传媒集团兼并,因此对报纸杂志涉足却少之又少。而这个年代一部电视剧的口碑传播,报纸杂志在其中也占据了主要的助力。Although the Foxcompetitorshad not forgottenonnewspaper that inoneselfcanaffectpublishes the attackto《Friends》, such asattacksin《Friends》becomes| the persontopicare too manydoes not suitbroadcastinpublicTV Station, buthas not actually had any tremendousinfluence. Becausequiteheavyweightnewspapermaintainsto《Friends》 the praiseis having the manner of in addition.福克斯的竞争对手们虽然没有忘记在自己所能影响到的报纸上发表一些对《老友记》的攻击,诸如抨击《老友记》里成丨人话题太多不适合在公共电视台播出,但却都没有造成什么大的影响。因为比较重量级的报纸对《老友记》都保持着赞誉有加的态度。Ericsitsinofficenowreads《Los Angeles Times》publication a news about 《Friends》.艾瑞克现在就坐在办公室里阅读《洛杉矶时报》发表的一篇关于《老友记》的新闻。
„ According todisclosure of Nielsondataanalyst, the 《Friends》secondweekbroadcasthas rejected about 70%not to stabilize the audience, finally the averagereceptionpopulation of thisSituation comedy placed 22 millionabout, without a doubtbecomes the TV serieskind of viewing ratioKing of this year.
“根据尼尔森数据分析员的透露,《老友记》第二周的播放已经剔除了70%左右的不稳定观众,最终这部情景喜剧的平均收视人数将保持在2200万左右,毫无疑问将成为本年度的电视剧类收视率王者。It is reported that the advertizing revenue of 《Friends》eachcollectionhas achieved3 millionUSDon average, therefore, thisTV serieswill bringto exceed the 70 millionUSDincome. Althoughweare unable to knowFireflyandbetweenFoxTV Station the concreteshareplan, butbyEric Williamsstrongstylealways, the 《Friends》advertisementis divideddefinitelywill meet the fieldhigheststandard, calculatedbythisthatthisTV seriesis the first runbroadcast of FoxcanbemerelyFireflybringsnear30 millionUSDincome.
有消息透露,《老友记》平均每集的广告收入已经达到了300万美元,因此,这部电视剧将带来超过7000万美元的收入。虽然我们无从知晓萤火虫与福克斯电视台之间具体的分成方案,但以艾瑞克.威廉姆斯一向的强势风格,《老友记》的广告分成肯定会达到业界的最高水准,以此推算,这部电视剧仅仅是福克斯的首轮播放就可以为萤火虫带来将近3000万美元的收入。Whatis more surprising, 《Friends》copyrightisFireflymonopolizes, the income that then, thisSituation comedyfollowingbroadcastpowertransfer and recording taperelease, bringswill be over threetimes of first runbroadcastadvertizing revenue, buttotal investmentactuallyinsufficient5 millionUSD of thisSituation comedy, Eric WilliamsthisstirredinHollywood the windstirred the rain‚mixesboy’to the common peopleto provehe not only can blossom in radiant splendorinmovie, canaccomplish a task with easein the TV seriesdomainas before.
更加令人惊讶的是,《老友记》的版权为萤火虫独占,那么,这部情景喜剧后续的播放权转让和录像带发行,带来的收入将是首轮播放广告收入的三倍以上,但这部情景喜剧的总投资却不足500万美元,艾瑞克.威廉姆斯这个在好莱坞搅风搅雨的‘混小子’向世人证明了他不但可以在电影方面大放异彩,在电视剧领域依旧可以游刃有余。Forms in one's mindthisarticletime, the authorhas been thinkingthatEric Williamsnextstepmustreach the musicdomain the tentacle, becauseinhisDirectorseveralmovies, dubs in music a columnobviouslyto hang the Eric Williamsname, in《Running Out of Time》 the public vehicle met with that«SpeechlessSentiment», does not know that intoxicatesmanymovie fans, the picture that Tom CruiseandBrooke Shieldswalk arm in armmutuallyalsobecause ofcontrasting of thisdubbing in music, was calledthis yearmostonly the beautifulmoviesceneby the media. MajorRecord CompanyCEO, have a look atnowthreebigTV Stationin an extremely difficult situation, learns from another's mistakes, why before no longerotherpeopleget rid, sends out the invitationtoEric Williams? ”
构思这篇文章的时候,笔者就一直在想,艾瑞克.威廉姆斯下一步是不是要将触手伸向音乐领域,因为他导演的几部电影中,配乐一栏都明显挂着艾瑞克.威廉姆斯的名字,《暗战》中公车邂逅那一段的《无言的情》,不知道让多少影迷如痴如醉,汤姆.克鲁斯和波姬.小丝相互依偎的画面也因为这段配乐的烘托,被媒体称为今年最唯美的电影镜头。各大唱片公司的ceo们,看看现在狼狈不堪的三大电视台,前车之鉴,为什么不再其他人出手之前,率先向艾瑞克.威廉姆斯发出邀请呢？”Read off《Los Angeles Times》thisarticle, Erichas thought deeply about the moment, initially when shoots《Pretty Woman》, becauserememberedfamouspopularorchestraRoxetteto combine a song, Ericproduced the trainedsingerto meddle the plan of recording industry.

Even if after is, because ofemerging of Internet age, the recording industrydeclinesthoroughly, songcopyright that butRecord Companyhas is also onecanbring the long-termincomein the intellectual property protectionverystrictwest the great wealth.
读完《洛杉矶时报》这篇文章,艾瑞克思索了片刻,当初拍摄《风月俏佳人》时,因为想起著名的流行乐队罗克塞特组合一首歌,艾瑞克就产生过培养歌手插手唱片业的打算。九十年代是全世界唱片业最后的辉煌年代,唱片公司只要有几个当家的歌手,利润丝毫不亚于电影公司或者电视台。哪怕是以后因为网络时代的兴起,唱片业彻底衰退,但唱片公司拥有的歌曲版权在知识产权保护非常严格的西方也是一笔可以带来长期收入的巨大财富。Wroteto paint picturesseveralinmemorandum, Ericwas just aboutto glance throughnextnewspaper, the officegateis sounded: „Mr. Williams, MissMurdochcame.”
在身旁的备忘录上写写画画了几笔,艾瑞克正要翻阅下一份报纸,办公室门被敲响:“威廉姆斯先生,默多克小姐来了。”Ericspoke thoughtlesslyto comply withone, wore the bluewhiteinteractionlight colorcheckshirt and dark-coloredjeans, carried on the armElisabeth Murdoch of dark bluewomansatchelthenhurriedlyto rush, sat downin the Ericoppositevery muchimmodestly, thatcarelessappearance, as ifEricthatevening'sstrongkissslightlyhas not had the influencetoheras before.艾瑞克随口应了一声,穿着蓝白相间淡色格子衬衫和深色牛仔裤,挎着一个深蓝色女士挎包的伊丽莎白.默多克便风风火火地闯了进来,很不客气地在艾瑞克对面坐下,依旧那副大大咧咧的模样,似乎艾瑞克那个晚上的强吻丝毫没有对她造成影响。Picksto placeon the knee the satchel, Elizabethlooked in front ofEricthat《Los Angeles Times》title, disdainshas cast aside the smallmouth: „Cannot think that yoursuchnarcissism, unexpectedlysecretlyhidesin the officelooks atothersto flatteryourarticle.”
将挎包摘下来放在膝盖上,伊丽莎白看了一眼艾瑞克面前那份《洛杉矶时报》的标题,不屑的撇了撇小嘴:“想不到你这么自恋,竟然偷偷躲在办公室里看别人吹捧你的文章。”Erichas not cared about the satire in girlexpression, ifhemerelyismovieDirector, naturallycanbe engrossed in reading sacred books and oblivious to what happening in the world, makes the movieon the line.

( to be continued )艾瑞克没在意女郎语气里的讽刺,如果他仅仅是一个电影导演的话,当然可以两耳不闻窗外事,把电影拍好就行。但他同时还是一家电影公司的董事长,对业界消息保持足够的关注是必须的。因为这段时间太忙的缘故,艾瑞克只能让助理帮自己整理一些比较重要的新闻,每天来到公司在处理事务之前,匆匆地看一些。(未完待续)
