Has packed off Frank Wells, Eric Fox TV Station Chairman William. Bell welcomed the office. 送走了弗兰克.威尔斯,艾瑞克又将福克斯电视台的总裁威廉.贝尔迎进了办公室。 „William, is the Fox TV Station achievement what kind of these days?” Eric sits down on the office sofa, urgently has not been inquiring William. Bell's purpose in coming, but chatted the Fox TV Station present situation. “威廉,这段时间福克斯电视台的业绩怎么样？”艾瑞克在办公室沙发上坐下,并没有急着询问威廉.贝尔的来意,而是聊起了福克斯电视台的现状。 Hears this issue, William. Bell somewhat is slightly excited, although the Fox TV Station member is Barry Diller, but as the second in command, because of the 《Friends》 reason, the Fox TV Station rising tendency is strong, therefore William. Bell also crosses these days is elated with success, he saw three big TV Station total Manager rank management some feelings of not being able to gain ground, even if now facing three big TV Station Chairman, William. Bell can also chin up and chest out. 听到这个问题,威廉.贝尔微微有些兴奋,虽然福克斯电视台的一把手是巴里.迪勒,不过作为二把手,因为《老友记》的缘故,福克斯电视台崛起势头强劲,因此威廉.贝尔这段时间也过得春风得意,原本他见到三大电视台的总经理级别高管都有些抬不起头的感觉,现在即使面对三大电视台主席,威廉.贝尔也可以昂首挺胸。 „Is good, Eric, the 《Friends》 first quarter big result, the average reception population had achieved 2 8 million couple days ago, but the first quarter average reception population has also reached 2 3 million scales, without a doubt is this year's TV series reception champion. Although 《Friends》 has broadcast, but the Fox TV Station fixed reception crowd has also achieved 11 million, was right, our also animated cartoon obtains very good result, named «Simpson», the average reception is the 13 million people, the company renewed a subscription the second quarter......” “非常好,艾瑞克,前几天《老友记》第一季的大结局,平均收视人数达到了2800万,而第一季的平均收视人数也达到了2300万的规模,毫无疑问将是今年的电视剧收视冠军。虽然《老友记》已经播完,但福克斯电视台的固定收视人群也达到了1100万,对了,我们还有一部动画片获得很不错的成绩,名叫《辛普森一家》,平均收视达到1300万人次,公司已经续订了第二季了……” Eric is listening patiently, often nods to echo, waits for William. Bell said that Eric asked: „, William, what matter do you ask me to have today?” 艾瑞克耐心地听着,不时点头附和一下,等威廉.贝尔说完,艾瑞克才问道:“那么,威廉,你今天找我来有什么事情吗？” William. Bell said: „«Who Wants To become 1 million» Wealthy man two grades of programs about «X-Files» and, Mr. Diller wants to start the manufactures of these two grades of programs as soon as possible, was right, Eric, I remember that originally planned «X-Files» do not manufacture the first volume this month, why didn't have the sound now?” 威廉.贝尔道:“是关于《x档案》和《谁想成为1000000富翁》两档节目的,迪勒先生想要尽快启动这两档节目的制作,对了,艾瑞克,我记得原计划《x档案》不是要在这个月制作第一集吗,为什么现在还没动静？” On the Eric face has also shown the helpless look. Although he planned truly is this, but plans forever unable to keep up with the change, because of Firefly and attaching great importance to of Fox two companies «X-Files». Two producers who two companies send out will have the difference in many aspects, must make to Eric here frequently can make the decision. Therefore has also created the dragging of arrangement progress. 艾瑞克脸上也露出了无奈的神色。虽然他原本的计划确实是这样,不过计划永远都赶不上变化,因为萤火虫和福克斯两家公司对《x档案》的重视。两家公司派出的两个制片人在很多方面都会发生分歧,经常要闹到艾瑞克这里才能做决定。因此也造成了筹备进度的拖延。 In addition «X-Files», although the present has determined the actor, but Heroine does not have any clue as before. It is estimated that can starting be good in January of next year. However, Eric does not worry, just Firefly the end of the year finance starts somewhat intense, therefore and other 《Running Out of Time》 and 《Friends》 after share of end of this month to the account, start the manufacture of «X-Files» again are also very good means. 再加上《x档案》虽然现在已经确定了男主角,不过女主角依旧没有任何头绪。估计能在明年一月份开机就不错了。不过,艾瑞克也不着急,刚好萤火虫年底的财政开始有些紧张,因此等《暗战》和《老友记》在这个月底的分成到账之后,再启动《x档案》的制作也是一个很好的办法。 As for «Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?», this grade of program is quite simple, Eric does not worry. Moreover as before is the issue of fund, although this grade of program is simple, but also wants several million investments, half want Firefly to come. Because of the Cisco matter, Eric preliminary 10 million USD will have delimited in the investment company account of Chris Hansson host, now Firefly and new line common activity fund does not surpass 10 million USD, distributes the «An Affair to Remember» recording tape and 《Scent of a Woman》 needs this sum of money. Therefore all must wait till at the end of the month that grand total 100 million 17 million shares of 《Running Out of Time》 and 《Friends》 said to the account again. 至于《谁会成为百万富翁》,这档节目相当简单,艾瑞克一点也不着急。而且依旧是资金的问题,虽然这档节目非常简单,但也要几百万的投入,其中一半是要萤火虫来出的。因为思科的事情,艾瑞克将前期的1000万美元已经划到了克里斯.汉森主持的投资公司账户上,现在萤火虫与新线共同的活动资金不超过1000万美元,发行《金玉盟》的录像带和《闻香识女人》都需要这笔钱。所以一切还要等到月底《暗战》和《老友记》的那笔总计一亿17000000的分成到账再说。 Eric does not evade, own difficulty to William. Bell said that said: „William, you look. Firefly does not have money now, therefore us that some funds cannot invest promptly, said again. «X-Files» is in September of next year the first broadcast, now the time is ample. As for «Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?», definitely is the beautiful play of March spring the files together promotes, this grade of program one month of arrangement added on the propaganda to be enough.” 艾瑞克也不避讳,将自己的难处向威廉.贝尔说了一遍,才道:“威廉,你看。萤火虫现在没钱了,所以我们这边的那部分资金不能及时地投入进去,再说了。《x档案》是明年九月份首播的,现在时间非常宽裕。至于《谁会成为百万富翁》,也肯定是和三月份的美剧春季档一起推出,这档节目一个月的时间筹备加上宣传已经足够了。” Being well-founded that „but......” Eric said that in addition on the opposite party is having one ‚Boss’ status, William. Bell does not know how should reach an agreement, he is not even clear, why Barry Diller did not run by oneself, the expression so is strong and urgent. “可是……”艾瑞克说的有理有据,再加上对方身上带着一层‘老板’的身份,威廉.贝尔也不知道该怎么说好,他甚至不明白,巴里.迪勒为什么非让自己跑来一趟,语气还那么的强硬和迫切。 „Eric. Truly speaking, this time is Mr. Diller makes me come.” William. A Bell confidential appearance: „I thought that possibly has 《Friends》 to begin broadcasting by that matter that three big TV Station rob before. Mr. Diller was worried that the matter will have the accident.” “艾瑞克。说实在的,这次是迪勒先生让我来的。”威廉.贝尔一副推心置腹的模样:“我觉得,可能有《老友记》开播被三大电视台抢夺的那件事在前。迪勒先生担心事情会发生变故。” Eric said with a smile: „This worry is completely unnecessary, William, Firefly had the Fox 10% stocks now, how I possibly do not have the standpoint to give others' situation the television program, said again our contract has signed, you are also worried about anything.” 艾瑞克笑道:“这种担心完全是多余的,威廉,萤火虫现在可是拥有了福克斯10%的股份,我怎么可能没立场到将电视节目交给别人的地步,再说了我们合约都签了,你还担心什么呢。” William. Bell also thinks actually at heart, has to say finally: „Eric, you call to explain to Mr. Diller personally, otherwise I do not have the means to go back to confess.” 威廉.贝尔其实心里也是这么想的,最后只好道:“艾瑞克,要不,你打电话亲自跟迪勒先生解释一下,要不然我没办法回去交代。” „Good good, my this hits.” Eric shrugs reluctantly, produced for several points to sympathize to this overcautious Chairman, truly speaking, although took office in Fox such film and television industry giant, but the head had a strong boss, truly was a very vexed matter, Eric estimated Disney Chairman Frank Wells that just left with present William. Bell situation is similar. Michael Eisner and Barry Diller are that very strong person. “好吧好吧,我这就打。”艾瑞克无奈地耸耸肩,对这个谨小慎微的总裁还产生了几分同情,说实在的,虽然就职于福克斯这样的影视业巨头,但头上拥有一位强势的上司,确实是一件非常窝囊的事情,艾瑞克估计刚刚离开的迪斯尼总裁弗兰克.威尔斯跟眼前的威廉.贝尔处境差不多。迈克尔.艾斯纳和巴里.迪勒都是那种非常强势的人。 Barry Diller receives the Eric call time, in the expression is bringing obviously surprisedly, hears matter that Eric said that Barry Diller of telephone that head realized one have possibly made a mistake, but, since the matter occurred, he has to agree calmly the view of Eric, in a tone with kindly urged Eric to finally arrange «X-Files» as soon as possible, has made the telephone call. 巴里.迪勒接到艾瑞克电话的时候,语气里明显带着惊讶,听到艾瑞克说的事情,电话那头的巴里.迪勒意识到自己可能犯了一个错误,不过,既然事情已经发生了,他不得不若无其事地同意艾瑞克的说法,最后又语带关切地催促一番艾瑞克尽快为筹备《x档案》,才挂了电话。 Has packed off feeling relieved William. Bell, is 10 : 00 am. 送走了如释重负的威廉.贝尔,已经是上午十点。 Alan knocked the door of office to walk, saw that by the kindergarten classes for six and seven year olds chair seemed pondering anything's Eric, said in a soft voice: „Eric, that side the Fox square screen test affirmation started, do you also want to participate?” 艾伦敲了敲办公室的门走了进来,看到靠在大班椅上仿佛在思考什么的艾瑞克,轻声道:“艾瑞克,福克斯片场那边的试镜肯定已经开始了,你还要参加吗？” Eric shook the head, but immediately nodded, said: „Goes, was right, Alan, do you have to feel somewhat strangely?” 艾瑞克摇了摇头,但又立刻点了点头,道:“还是去吧,对了,艾伦,你有没有感觉到有些奇怪？” „Which aspect?” Alan follows to go out of office side Eric, asked. “哪方面的？”艾伦跟在艾瑞克身边走出办公室,问道。 Eric has rubbed temple(s), said: „Perhaps was I was too tired these days, nerve tight reason. However, I always felt that there some are not right.” 艾瑞克揉了揉额角,道:“或许是我这段时间太累了,神经紧绷的缘故吧。不过,我总是感觉那里有些不对。” Alan, suggested: „Or, Eric, do you go back to rest for day?” 艾伦顿了顿,建议道:“要不,艾瑞克,你回去休息一天吧？” „Does not use,” Eric shook the head: „If can select Heroine directly, can omit including the third round interview, tossed about in any case these many days.” “不用了,”艾瑞克摇了摇头:“要是能直接选出女主角,连第三轮面试都可以省去,反正已经折腾这么多天了。” They silent arrive at the parking lot, the driver in company greeted with Eric, run to open the vehicle door for Eric earnestly, Eric expressed gratitude, just got in the car(riage), suddenly shrank, enhances the sound saying: „I thought!” 两人一路沉默地来到停车场,公司的司机跟艾瑞克打了声招呼,跑下来殷切地替艾瑞克打开车门,艾瑞克道了声谢,刚刚钻进车里,突然又缩了回来,提高声音道:“我想到了！” Alan and driver one face is looking at Eric strangely. 艾伦和司机都一脸奇怪地望着艾瑞克。 Eric also realized that own malpractice, said: „We boarded to say.” 艾瑞克也意识到自己的失态,说道:“我们上车说吧。” After car starts, Eric to sitting the assistant on copilot said the next two Chairman purpose in coming, said afterward: „Alan, do you have the discovery, today they walk in together, appeared too anxious?” 汽车发动之后,艾瑞克才对坐在副驾驶上的助理说了下两位总裁的来意,随后道:“艾伦,你有没有发现,今天他们一起找上门,显得太急切了？” „Anxious?” Alan has pondered over, said with a smile: „This matter , if one's turn on me, I will also worry, Eric, I think that you need to rest.” “急切？”艾伦琢磨了一下,笑道:“这种事情要是轮到我身上,我也会着急的,艾瑞克,我想你还是需要休息。” Eric shrugs, has not spoken again, but, his feeling has not dissipated as before, how actually did not know. 艾瑞克耸耸肩,没再说话,不过,他心里那种感觉依旧没有消散,却不知道到底怎么了。 ...... …… Eric arrives at the Fox square time, in a screen test situated in small movie studio started. Eric pushed the door to enter the screen test room directly, the appraisal committee Xi Changzhuo most central position was emptying, Eric and people greeted, gratefully sat down in the middle that position. 艾瑞克到达福克斯片场的时候,位于一个小型摄影棚里的试镜已经开始了。艾瑞克直接推门进入了试镜房间,评委席长桌最中央的位置空着,艾瑞克与众人打了声招呼,毫不客气的在中间那个位置上坐下。 „This young lady, please continue,” sits on the chair, an assistant gives him the screen test Actor material, Eric to standing in room center, because his sudden arrival, but some girls of feeling helpless nodded. “这位小姐,请继续吧,”在椅子上坐好,一位助理将试镜演员资料递给他,艾瑞克才对站在房间中央,因为他的突然到来而有些不知所措的女郎点了点头。 The woman, continued to start the somewhat jerky performance. 那女人顿了顿,继续开始了有些生涩的表演。 Although the person of screen test are many, but the screen test carries on is not quick, one hour is also only 78 appearances. 虽然试镜的人很多,但试镜进行的并不算快,一个小时也只有78个的样子。 After another facial color somewhat hale and hearty woman goes out of the room, sits left side of Eric, producer David Greenwalt from Fox said: „This named Sharon. Stone's Actor is very good, not only the performance experience is enough, but also the appearance has also achieved Heroine pill. Scar Li's request.” 又一位面色有些硬朗的女人走出房间之后,坐在艾瑞克左侧,来自福克斯的制片人大卫.格林沃特说道:“这位名叫莎朗.斯通的演员很不错,不但演艺经验足够,而且外貌也达到了女主角丹娜.斯卡丽的要求。” David said that inquired looks at toward right side Eric, actually sees Eric to lower the head on the paper to write to paint pictures absent-mindedly, just Sharon. After Stone enters the gate, David had discovered Eric is somewhat absent-minded, even has not seen the performance of opposite party. 大卫说完,询问地看向右边的艾瑞克,却见艾瑞克心不在焉地低头在纸上写写画画着,刚刚莎朗.斯通走进门之后,大卫就发现了艾瑞克有些心不在焉,甚至都没怎么看对方的表演。 The Eric right man is Hans. Whittle, had participated in the manufacture of 《Cocoon》 series, therefore was dug to be the producer in «X-Files» series Firefly aspect, sees Eric not to make noise, on the paper that Hans curiously toward Eric written looked at one. 艾瑞克右侧的男人叫汉斯.惠特尔,曾经参与过《魔茧》系列的制作,因此才被挖来担任《x档案》系列萤火虫方面的制片人,见艾瑞克没出声,汉斯好奇地朝艾瑞克正在书写的纸张上看了一眼。 „Basic Instinct, what is this?” Hans. Whittle asked curiously. “本能,这是什么意思？”汉斯.惠特尔好奇地问道。 Eric gains ground, saw that they are staring at themselves, explained: „Anything, I just had not remembered good script, somewhat was distracted.” 艾瑞克抬起头,看到两人都盯着自己,才解释道:“没什么,我刚刚想起了一个不错的剧本,才有些走神了。” Two producers somewhat are both surprised and admire, has not thought that under Eric this condition can find out script. However, they had not forgotten the matter that several people done, teased several, Hans then asked: „Eric, you thought just Sharon. Is Stone what kind of?” 两位制片人都有些惊讶和佩服,没想到艾瑞克这种状况下都能想出剧本来。不过,他们也没有忘记几人正在做的事情,调侃了几句,汉斯便问道:“艾瑞克,你觉得刚刚的莎朗.斯通怎么样？” Eric shook the head: „It is not good.” 艾瑞克摇了摇头:“不行。” The David Greenwalt unwilling heart pursues asks: „Eric, I thought that Sharon. Stone echoes your request completely, the performing skill is enough, the age is appropriate, moreover in the makings also tallies with your setting, is not why good , do we place third round alternative her?” ( to be continued ) 大卫.格林沃特不甘心地追问道:“艾瑞克,我觉得,莎朗.斯通完全附和你的要求啊,演技足够,年龄合适,而且气质上也与你的设定相符,为什么不行呢,要不,我们把她放在第三轮备选？”(未完待续)
