„I take several months to terminate in my hand the existing service.” Carolyn almost does not have anything to hesitate, just like Eric said that the Firefly present development potential everyone can see, chief financial officers in Boss and between big company of young public accounting firm, the smart people know that which should choose. “我需要几个月时间来完结掉我手中现有的业务。”卡洛琳几乎没有什么迟疑,正如艾瑞克所说的,萤火虫现在的发展潜力谁都可以看得出,一家小型的会计事务所的老板和一家大公司的财务总监之间,聪明人都知道应该选择哪一个。 „Naturally does not have the issue.” Eric said that the company several departments are the Robert subordinate are operating now, Eric not appropriate person, therefore has not said anything. However Eric has to pay more attention to the finance of company, with also calculates that familiar Carloyn Elliot inserts to this seat comes up is the best choice. As for Robert Shay, Eric believes that he wants enough intelligently, not to oppose his decision-making. “当然没问题。”艾瑞克说道,公司现在好几个部门都是罗伯特的手下在运作,艾瑞克自己并没有合适的人,因此也没说什么。不过艾瑞克就不得不更加关注公司的财务,将与自己还算熟悉的卡洛琳.艾略特插到这个位子上来是最好的选择。至于罗伯特.谢伊,艾瑞克相信他只要足够聪明,就不会反对自己的这个决策。 Two people chatted a while, walks toward the office under staff's notice together. 两个人聊了一会儿,在工作人员的通知下一起向办公室走去。 The time of conference is not long, the issue of discussion is about the financial problem of Firefly and new line, as well as next year development project. When Carloyn Elliot reported Firefly finance, the Robert Shay complexion is splendid, because the new line has distributed 67 movies including «Fierce Ghost Street 5» this year, but the gross revenue is actually inferior to the «Home Alone» first part odd change. Moreover according to beforehand contract, Robert Shay, although had the Firefly 15% stocks, actually can only listen to Carolyn to read that successive profit data eagerly, actually cannot attain the one cent. 会议的时间并不长,讨论的问题大致就是萤火虫和新线的财务问题,以及明年的发展规划。在卡洛琳.艾略特报告萤火虫财务的时候,罗伯特.谢伊的脸色非常精彩,因为新线今年发行了包括《猛鬼街5》在内的67部影片,但总收益却不及《小鬼当家》第一部的零头。而且根据事先的合约,罗伯特.谢伊虽然拥有了萤火虫15%的股份,却只能眼巴巴地听着卡洛琳念出那一连利润数据,却不能从中拿到一分钱。 In this period Eric also announced will appoint Carloyn Elliot is the matter of corporate finance director, although Robert Shay was difficult to cover is not feeling well, has not refuted. 期间艾瑞克也宣布了将任命卡洛琳.艾略特为公司财务总监的事情,罗伯特.谢伊虽然难掩不爽,却没有反驳。 The conference opened the entire afternoon, after finishing, Eric stopped by calling out Robert Shay that wants to leave, asked: „Robert. Matter preparation that «An Affair to Remember» recording tape distributes how?” 会议开了整整一个下午,结束之后,艾瑞克叫住了想要离开的罗伯特.谢伊,问道:“罗伯特。《金玉盟》录像带发行的事情准备的怎么样了？” „I have had custom-made the first batch of 100,000 box recording tape, Eric, you think really «An Affair to Remember» can depend upon the «Sleepless in Seattle» influence again selling well?” The Robert Shay doubts asked. “我已经定制了首批10万盒录像带,艾瑞克,你真的认为《金玉盟》能够依靠《西雅图夜未眠》的影响重新热销吗？”罗伯特.谢伊疑惑地问道。 Eric definitely nodded: „Naturally. Robert, the 100,000 box were too few. First at least must manufacture the 300,000 box, you pay attention to as far as possible this matter.” 艾瑞克肯定地点了点头:“当然。罗伯特,10万盒太少了。首批至少要制作30万盒,你尽量注意一下这件事。” Robert Shay swinging likely is rattle-drum: „Eric, this too has take risked, I thought that the 100,000 box has sufficed many, moreover this has spent 1 million, we must certainly spend a sum of money to propagandize in the future. If the recording tape real sale, we made the factory produce in a hurry on the line again.” 罗伯特.谢伊头摇的像是拨浪鼓似的:“艾瑞克,这太冒险了,我觉得10万盒已经够多了,而且这已经花掉了100万,我们将来肯定还要拿出一笔钱进行宣传。如果录像带真的热卖的话,我们再让工厂赶制就行了。” „If cannot catch up,” Eric asked back: „Robert. Believes me, manufactures the 300,000 box then to spread the goods to get down, tells these dealers, after can sell first, pays money. Must guarantee on channel that we can touch has the «An Affair to Remember» recording tape.” “万一赶不上呢,”艾瑞克反问道:“罗伯特。相信我,制作30万盒然后铺货下去,告诉那些经销商,可以先销售后付款。要确保我们能够触及的渠道上都有《金玉盟》的录像带。” „This......” Robert somewhat is as before scruple, 30 many years ago old movies in his opinion, after the stimulation of «Sleepless in Seattle», can sell the 100,000 box to be good, Eric makes him produce the 300,000 box directly, but also adopts such sales method, this in Robert looks like with throws into the water money directly almost. “这……”罗伯特依旧有些迟疑,一部三十多年前的老电影在他看来,经过《西雅图夜未眠》的刺激,能够卖出10万盒就已经非常不错了,艾瑞克却直接让他生产30万盒,还采取那样的销售手段,这在罗伯特看来跟直接把钱扔进水里差不多。 Eric thinks. Said: „Robert, these does time listen my? If showed afterward I have made a mistake, I in one year do not meddle anything that the company manages.” 艾瑞克想了想。说道:“罗伯特,这一次听我的好吗？如果事后证明我错了,那我一年内不插手公司经营上的任何事情。” Robert heard Eric saying that immediately is excited. He most fears is Eric manages to gesticulate to the company, as a result of the ages prejudice, Robert did not think that Eric is managing the Film Studio aspect to have any ability, but relies on several movies to obtain continuously successful had the present wealth and status. Since this, that should make the movie honestly, but is not the management to company says this and that what may make his helpless is, Eric has the company 85% stocks. 罗伯特听到艾瑞克这么说立刻心动了。他最怕的就是艾瑞克对公司经营指手画脚,出于年龄段偏见,罗伯特一点也不觉得艾瑞克在经营电影公司方面有什么才能,只是凭借几部电影连续获得成功才拥有了现在的财富和地位。既然这样,那就应该老老实实地去拍电影,而不是对公司的经营说三道四,可让他无奈的是,艾瑞克却拥有公司85%的股份。 Some Eric this promises, even if orally. Robert Shay thought that can also bet, the 300,000 box recording tape cost also has 3 million. Changes him to Firefly one year ‚absolute control power’, looks like in Robert is worth: „Good. Eric, I will implement as soon as possible according to your plan.” 有艾瑞克这个许诺,即使是口头上的。罗伯特.谢伊觉得也可以赌一把,30万盒录像带成本也只有300万而已。换来他对萤火虫一年的‘绝对控制权’,在罗伯特看来非常值得:“好吧。艾瑞克,我会按照你的方案尽快实施下去。” Eric looks at Robert Shay to leave, smiled, thought that this method could continue, with such ‚bait’ urges Robert to go according to own will to work. 艾瑞克看着罗伯特.谢伊离开,笑了笑,心想这种方法或许可以持续下去,用这样的‘诱饵’驱使罗伯特去按照自己的意志去做事。 Tidied up, Eric left the office preparation to drive to go home, just went out of the office building, 30 -year-old brown hair Caucasian females have blocked him on three gaits. 收拾了一下,艾瑞克离开了办公室准备开车回家,刚刚走出办公楼,一个三十多岁的棕发白人女子就三两步走过来拦住了他。 Waits for Eric to stop the footsteps, the woman earnestly introduces: „Mr. Williams, I am Shalisa. Cody, do you still remember me? We have seen.” 等艾瑞克停下脚步,女人才殷切地介绍道:“威廉姆斯先生,我是谢丽莎.科迪,你还记得我吗？我们见过的。” Eric truly quickly has forgotten initially to have casual acquaintance Shalisa in New York. Cody, but, he actually must know that follows in this woman behind that man, Brad Pitt. 艾瑞克确实已经快忘记当初在纽约有过一面之缘的谢丽莎.科迪了,不过,他却不可能不认识跟在这女人身后的那名男子,布拉德.皮特。 Just, to Shalisa. The earnestness of Cody, Brad Pitt appeared awkward, he definitely opposed evidently own manager walked on own initiative. 只不过,相对于谢丽莎.科迪的殷切,布拉德.皮特就显得尴尬了许多,看样子他肯定是反对自己经纪人主动找上门的。 „Hello, Ms. Cody, met.” Eric smiles was shaking hand with the opposite party, thought at heart this matter is very interesting, he thinks after that matter, will not see Brad Pitt. “你好,科迪女士,又见面了。”艾瑞克微笑着与对方握了握手,心里觉得这件事还挺有趣的,原本他以为那件事之后,再也不会见到布拉德.皮特了。 Shalisa. Cody sees Eric to remember itself, on face shows the smiling face immediately, has to say what this woman maintains is really very good, Eric cannot determine opposite party many years. 谢丽莎.科迪见艾瑞克想起自己,脸上顿时露出笑容,不得不说这个女人保养的真是非常好,艾瑞克都不能确定对方到底多少岁。 „Mr. Williams, but also remembers that you initially did invite? I brought my team to join uta.” “威廉姆斯先生,还记得你当初的邀请吗？我已经带着我的团队加入uta了。” Eric recalled, remembers really has matter such, he saw at that time Shalisa can bring Brad Pitt to run to apologize on own initiative, thought that this woman will cultivate the behavior, therefore spoke thoughtlessly the sentence, but, Eric looked at front two, asked: „When matter?” 艾瑞克回忆了一下,想起确实有这么一回事,他当时见到谢丽莎能够带着布拉德.皮特主动跑来道歉,觉得这个女人非常会做人,于是随口说了句,不过,艾瑞克看了看面前的两人,还是问道:“什么时候的事情？” „...... One week ago,” Shalisa replied, said that saw Eric not to show other look, the woman hastily also said: „Can Mr. Williams, invite you to have a supper together?” “一个……一个星期以前,”谢丽莎回答道,说完见艾瑞克没有露出别的神色,女人才连忙又说道:“威廉姆斯先生,可以邀请你一起吃个晚餐吗？” Eric looked at Shalisa. Cody, glanced a woman behind reluctantly to bring polite smile Brad Pitt, remembered the opposite party to find own goal quickly: „Ms. Cody, won't Mr. Pitt participate in the screen test of «X-Files» actor?” 艾瑞克看了看谢丽莎.科迪,又瞟了眼女人身后勉强带着礼貌微笑的布拉德.皮特,很快想起对方找到自己的目的:“科迪女士,皮特先生不会是参加了《x档案》男主角的试镜了吧？” Sees the matter to be exposed by Eric, Shalisa. Cody smiled slightly awkwardly, immediately said: Screen test that „Mr. Williams, Brad participates in the afternoon, what a pity in the afternoon you just not there. Therefore I personally catch up, wants to chat with you.” 见事情被艾瑞克点破,谢丽莎.科迪略微尴尬地笑了笑,随即道:“威廉姆斯先生,布拉德下午参加的试镜,可惜下午你刚好不在那里。所以我才亲自赶来,想跟你聊聊。” „Good,” Eric looked at woman behind Brad Pitt of: „Mr. Pitt, you did not use, went back and other news.” “那好吧,”艾瑞克看了眼女人身后的布拉德.皮特:“皮特先生,你就不用去了,回去等消息吧。” Brad Pitt hears these words, the complexion immediately becomes somewhat embarrassed, Shalisa. Cody realized that Eric does not like behind Brad as before, has toward standing signaled with the eyes after behind man. 布拉德.皮特听到这句话,脸色顿时变得有些难堪,谢丽莎.科迪意识到艾瑞克依旧不喜欢身后的布拉德,只好朝站在身后的男人使了个眼色。 „That...... I went back first,” Brad Pitt opens the mouth at this time finally: „Mr. Williams, again...... Bye.” “那……我先回去了,”布拉德.皮特此时终于开口:“威廉姆斯先生,再……再见。” Eric toward opposite party slight bow, waits for Brad Pitt alone to drive to leave, Eric opens own vehicle door, to Shalisa. Cody said: „Ms. Cody, please board.” 艾瑞克只是朝对方微微点了点头,等布拉德.皮特独自开车离开,艾瑞克才打开自己的车门,对谢丽莎.科迪道:“科迪女士,请上车吧。” „Oh, thanks,” woman sneaked in the copilot hastily. “哦,谢谢,”女人连忙钻进了副驾驶。 In a dining room, ordered food, Shalisa. Cody extremely anxiously said: „Mr. Williams, Peter's performing skill is actually good, the words that does not believe you can have a look at Peter to participate in the recording tape of «X-Files» screen test. He had not met any good opportunity.” 一家餐厅里,点完菜,谢丽莎.科迪就急不可待地说道:“威廉姆斯先生,其实皮特的演技非常好,不信的话你可以去看看皮特参加《x档案》试镜的录像带。他就是一直没有遇到什么好机会。” Eric knows certainly that the Brad Pitt performing skill is very good, the performance award and nomination that the opposite party wins are more than Tom Cruise. However, the person who this how, the Hollywood performing skill splendidly actually cannot raise one's head is countless, but opportunity only then that many. 艾瑞克当然知道布拉德.皮特的演技很好,对方获得的表演奖项和提名比汤姆.克鲁斯还多。不过,这又如何,好莱坞演技出色却出不了头的人不计其数,但机会只有那么多。 However, looks at the present woman, the Eric corners of the mouth appears the smiling face of pondering: „Ms. Cody, do you under have Brad Pitt Actor?” 不过,看着眼前的女人,艾瑞克嘴角浮现出玩味的笑容:“科迪女士,你手下只有布拉德.皮特一个演员吗？” Shalisa. Cody does not know that Eric such will ask why suddenly, shakes the head saying: „No, 45.” 谢丽莎.科迪不知道艾瑞克为什么会突然这么问,还是摇头道:“不,还有45个。” Eric shrugs: „Oh, you may suffice really to Brad.” 艾瑞克耸耸肩:“哦,那你对布拉德可真够好的。” Shalisa. The Cody complexion somewhat blushes immediately slightly, she listens certainly to the Eric offscreen voice, but, manager and under Actor that matter, actually does not have anything difficult, she also heard that 40-50 years old music Producer raises handful of red a 12-year-old little girl personally, but also moved | to teach own wife, that girl called anything probably. 谢丽莎.科迪脸色顿时微微有些发红,她当然听出艾瑞克的画外音,不过,经纪人和手下演员那点事,其实也没什么难以启齿的,她还听说一位四五十岁的音乐制作人亲手将一个12岁的小女孩带大捧红,还调丨教成了自己的妻子,那个女孩好像叫席琳什么的。 Has adjusted the mentality, Shalisa. In the Cody expression is having the light request: „Can Mr. Williams, give Peter an opportunity? He will definitely not disappoint you.” 调整了一下心态,谢丽莎.科迪语气里带着淡淡的请求:“威廉姆斯先生,可以给皮特一个机会吗？他肯定不会让你失望的。” Eric looks at the present woman, fast is calculating at heart, has this to go all out manager to help Brad Pitt take care, although opposite party 26 years old, but the male Actor charming male Actor warranty fairly is particularly long, that Brad Pitt sooner or later will be over very possible Hollywood, this will be Eric is not willing to see the matter. 艾瑞克看着眼前的女人,心里也在快速盘算着,有这个卖力地经纪人帮布拉德.皮特张罗,虽然对方已经26岁,不过男演员尤其是帅气的男演员保质期相当长,那布拉德.皮特早晚还是很可能好莱坞出头,这是艾瑞克非常不愿意见到地事情。 Since this, gives Brad Pitt the «X-Files» actor, to him, only then the fault does not have the advantage. Because «X-Files» is the same with 《Friends》, is very fixed role image TV series, ten season eight seasons develops, Actor wants to change the silver screen image almost not big possibility, steps onto the possibility of big silver screen to be uncertainer. previous life 《Friends》 six act the leading role, the successful transition big silver screen, has a Aniston person. Moreover the price that Aniston pays is also big, to big silver screen reforming, for does not let audience mental association to ‚Rachel. Many roles that Green’, Aniston receives collapse. 既然这样,将《x档案》男主角交给布拉德.皮特,对他只有坏处没有好处。因为《x档案》和《老友记》一样,都是非常固定角色形象的电视剧,十季八季的演下来,演员想要改变银幕形象几乎没有多大可能,重新走上大银幕的可能性就更加渺茫。前世《老友记》的六位主演,成功转型大银幕的,只有安妮斯顿一个人。而且安妮斯顿付出的代价也非常大,为了向大银幕转型,为了不让观众联想到‘瑞秋.格林’,安妮斯顿接到的很多角色都非常崩坏。 Although has made the decision at heart, Eric quite ‚sincere’, has thought deeply about a while, directly to Shalisa. Cody reminded: „Ms. Cody, you, if wants, once makes Mr. Pitt receive the role of «X-Files» actor, his silver screen image will possibly finalize, in the future will want to reform is very difficult. Because this TV series actor at least must sign five seasons contracts” ( to be continued ) 虽然心里做了决定,艾瑞克还是相当‘厚道’的,思索了一会儿,就直接对谢丽莎.科迪提醒道:“科迪女士,你要想好,一旦让皮特先生接下《x档案》男主角的角色,他的银幕形象很可能会定型,将来想要转型是非常艰难的。因为这部电视剧的男主角至少要签下五季的合约”(未完待续)
