In 1984 started a 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 series of frequency manufacture to accumulate considerable amount of fixed movie fans on according to every year, when Firefly announced pathfinder Wes of 《A Nightmare on Elm Street》 series. After Craven will return to shoots series end, immediately has aroused the interests of massive movie fan. 1984年开始就以每年一部的频率制作的《猛鬼街》系列积累了相当数量的固定影迷,当萤火虫宣布《猛鬼街》系列的开创者韦斯.克雷文将回归拍摄系列终结篇后,顿时引起了大量影迷的关注。 On November 1, Halloween on the same day, «Death of Freddy» screened in the North America more than 1200 theaters, the first Wednesday day has taken 13 million USD Box Office, obtained the suitable high praise. Although the movie Box Office will stay in 50 million USD about finally probably, the production cost of but to 15 million not arriving, Firefly can slightly gain one in the North America native place. 11月1日,万圣节当天,《弗莱迪之死》在北美1200多家影院上映,首周三天就拿下了1300万美元的票房,同时也获得了相当的好评。虽然影片最终票房大概会停留在5000万美元左右,但相对于1500万不到的制作成本,萤火虫还是能够在北美本土就小赚一笔。 Except for Firefly at the end of the year running schedule's small grand opening, Disney that movie-making cost reaches as high as 4 8 million USD «Billy Bathgate» such as Eric imagination such, announced that postponed following year summer files, the reason that Disney gave was to favor the Box Office prospect of movie, hoping the movie can display own commercial value fully. But some people of industry knowledge snort contemptuously to this view slightly. 除了萤火虫年底档期的小小开门红,迪斯尼那部制片成本高达4800万美元的《义胆风云》如艾瑞克想象的那样,宣布延期到了次年的暑期档,迪斯尼给出的理由是看好影片的票房前景,希望影片能够更充分地发挥自身的商业价值。但稍微有些行业知识的人都对这种说法嗤之以鼻。 Although after the movie postpones, when the Lord create closely examines faced with the reporter either keeps mouth shut, either talked nonsense. But afterward «Hollywood Reporter» to the interview of «Billy Bathgate» once Heroine candidate Nicole Kidman as if disclosed some inside stories to the public. Nicole has not made any appraisal to the movie actually, but said ambiguous a sentence good friend did not suggest she meets this movie. 虽然影片延期后,主创们面临记者追问时要么三缄其口,要么胡说八道。但随后《好莱坞报道者》对《义胆风云》曾经的女主角候选人妮可.基德曼的采访却似乎向公众透露了一些内幕。妮可倒是没有对影片做任何评价,只是模棱两可地说了句一个好朋友不建议她接这部电影。 Nicole as Eric ‚the sex scandal girlfriend’ one, most people can guess correctly that in Nicole mouth to be able effortlessly easily about her chip select who ‚good friend’ is. News. The large and small media a heat fries immediately, directly belonged to the rotten piece ranks «Billy Bathgate», the Disney's resolution became does not affect. 妮可作为艾瑞克的‘绯闻女友’之一,大部分人都能毫不费力地猜出妮可口中的那个能够轻易左右她选片的‘好朋友’是谁。消息一出。大大小小的媒体顿时一阵热炒,直接将《义胆风云》归属到了烂片的行列,迪斯尼的分辨也变得毫无作用。 However. This disturbance has not actually had the too tremendous influence to the Disney's stock price, from Firefly announced that purchases Disney to start publicly, several months the Disney's stock has been climbing up slowly, in early November, the Disney's market value has achieved 4 700 million USD, three months grew 34%. 不过。这阵风波却没有对迪斯尼的股价造成太大的影响,从萤火虫宣布公开收购迪斯尼开始,几个月来迪斯尼的股票一直在慢慢爬上,11月初,迪斯尼的市值已经达到47亿美元,三个月时间增长了34%。 In Wall Street and Hollywood , etc. in all parties' close attention, on November 4. Bid for the Disney's Viacom group to make the offer of 4.9 billion USD with Firefly to Disney officially. 在华尔街和好莱坞等各方的密切关注中,11月4日。与萤火虫竞购迪斯尼的维亚康姆集团正式向迪斯尼做出了49亿美元的报价。 On this day just on Monday, before then Firefly obtained some news. Eric arrives at Firefly Headquarters long time ago, with purchase team discussion countermeasure. 这天刚好是周一,在此之前萤火虫就已经得到了一些消息。艾瑞克早早就来到萤火虫总部,与收购团队商讨对策。 These three months of Redstone fund raising, except for carry on crosscut saw to negotiate with the Disney's management and Disney shareholder, Firefly has taken 4% Disney stocks at the high price one after another. At present the owning stocks share in hand has achieved 15%, becomes the Disney's second major stockholder. 雷石东筹资的这三个月时间,除了与迪斯尼的管理层和迪斯尼股东进行拉锯式谈判,萤火虫陆续又以高价拿下了4%的迪斯尼股票。目前手中的持股份额达到了15%,成为迪斯尼的第二大股东。 If purchases refuses to compromise for a long time, Firefly can request to reelect Disney's Board of Directors at the next shareholders'meeting as before, thus meddles the Disney's management, even further captures the Disney's domination. 如果收购长时间僵持不下,萤火虫依旧可以在下一次股东大会上要求重新选举迪斯尼的董事会,从而插手迪斯尼的管理,甚至进一步夺取迪斯尼的控制权。 Moreover, even if worst case scenario appears, Firefly in this purchase fights is defeated, by the Disney present stock price, the stock in Firefly leverage hand. Also can earn no less than the 300 million USD profit. 而且,哪怕最坏的情况出现,萤火虫在这次收购战中落败,以迪斯尼现在的股价,萤火虫套现手中的股份。也能赚取不少于3亿美元的利润。 After Eric arrives at the conference room, head Bernie Sanders of Morgan Stanley team first spoke: „According to the information that we obtained, Summer Redstone has stripped the theater service in hand. Fund that Viacom raises at present in 5 billion USD about. Moreover, the Viacom group also grasps Blockbuster few stocks, Redstone is lobbying Blockbuster, attempts to gain the financial support of opposite party, if successful, the chip in Viacom hand will not be less than 7 billion USD.” 艾瑞克到达会议室后,摩根士丹利团队的负责人伯尼.桑德斯首先发言道:“根据我们得到的情报,萨默.雷石东已经剥离了手中的影院业务。维亚康姆目前筹集到的资金在50亿美元左右。另外,维亚康姆集团还掌握着百视达的少量股份,雷石东正在游说百视达,企图获取对方的资金支持,如果成功,维亚康姆手中的筹码将不会少于70亿美元。” Eric is listening at the same time. At the same time front opens the material about Blockbuster Corporation. 艾瑞克一边听着。一边翻开面前关于百视达公司的资料。 Blockbuster is the North America biggest recording tape rents the company, has over 2000 branch stores. Importantly is, Blockbuster is similar as one to the recording tape of retail merchant rents the company, in the hand is grasping the huge cash flow, this lets a point that Eric most worries about. 百视达是北美最大的录像带租赁公司,拥有超过2000家分店。最重要地是,百视达作为一家类似于零售商的录像带租赁公司,手中掌握着庞大的现金流,这是让艾瑞克最担忧的一点。 In the memory, Redstone and Barry Diller at 1994 that malicious purchase war, after were merged Blockbuster, again in the property mortgage way has attained 10 billion USD funds, finally has annexed Paramount. 记忆中,雷石东与巴里.迪勒在1994年的那场恶意收购战,就是并购百视达之后,再以资产抵押方式拿到了100亿美元资金,最终吞并了派拉蒙。 Thinks of these, Eric asked: „Can Bernie, have this possibility, Viacom in the fund with hand purchases Blockbuster first, then by Blockbuster as the mortgage, attains many funds to join the purchase.” 想到这些,艾瑞克问道:“伯尼,会不会有这种可能,维亚康姆先用手中的资金收购百视达,再以百视达作为抵押,拿到更多的资金加入收购。” Bernie Sanders has pondered the moment, shakes the head saying: „Although at this time a very effective method, but the possibility is extremely low. Blockbuster exchanged ownerships after 1987, at every year has increased the speed rapid expansions of 500 shops, the yearly rate of market value surpasses 30%, so long as the shareholder in the stock the hand maintained, less than three years can double, in this situation was impossible to sell.” 伯尼.桑德斯思考了片刻,摇头道:“虽然这时一个非常行之有效的方法,但可能性极低。百视达从1987年易主之后,一直以每年新增500家门店的速度快速扩张,市值的年增长率超过30%,股东只要将手中股份保持下去,不到三年就能翻一番,这种情况下是不可能出售的。” Eric felt relieved slightly, although he has not known for several years later, why Viacom can purchase Blockbuster, but analysis of Bernie Sanders actually also right. 艾瑞克稍微放下心来,虽然他还不知道几年后,维亚康姆为什么能够收购百视达,但伯尼.桑德斯的分析却也没错。 „That Viacom, although Redstone currently is having the Viacom domination, but should the Viacom shareholder not make Redstone act in a self-serving manner?” “那维亚康姆内部呢,虽然雷石东目前掌握着维亚康姆的控制权,但维亚康姆的股东应该不会让雷石东为所欲为吧？” Bernie Sanders nods: Fund that „Redstone possibly raises surpasses 7 billion USD, but when surpasses 6 billion after the Disney's purchase offer, Redstone will encounter the Viacom internal resistance to be getting bigger and bigger. Once the offer breaks through the psychological limits of other shareholders, Viacom will even present the internal strife, at that time we can win this purchase easily. However this limit is many, we are unknown.” 伯尼.桑德斯点点头:“雷石东可能筹集到的资金超过70亿美元,但当对迪斯尼的收购报价超过60亿之后,雷石东受到维亚康姆内部的阻力将会越来越大。一旦报价突破其他股东的心理极限,维亚康姆甚至会出现内讧,那时我们就能够轻易赢得这次收购。不过这个极限是多少,我们不得而知。” The conference room resounded a low discussion sound, Eric fast has also been thinking whether had the method to make Redstone withdraw from this competition on own initiative. But a moment later, Eric disappointedly discovered that this situation seems to be impossible. Redstone is one typical alone | cuts the tyrant, individual will is firm, will not listen to the opinions of other people, let alone now both sides or competitors. 会议室响起了一阵低低的议论声,艾瑞克也快速思索着是否有方法让雷石东主动退出这场竞争。但片刻之后,艾瑞克就失望地发现这种情况似乎不可能。雷石东是一个典型的独丨裁暴君,个人意志坚定,根本不会听从其他人的意见,更何况现在双方还是竞争对手。 Several years ago purchases Viacom maliciously time, in the Redstone acting willfully geostatic pressure their all, will then increase to 3.4 billion to the offer of Viacom from 2 250 million USD. After the purchase is completed. Faced with resisting of Viacom management, Redstone does not hesitate to pay the high quota the compensation for removal, has replaced the senior management of Viacom completely. Disposition that thus it can be seen it acts alone arbitrarily. 几年前恶意收购维亚康姆的时候,雷石东便一意孤行地压上了自己的一切,将对维亚康姆的报价从22.5亿美元一路增加到了34亿。收购完成后。面临维亚康姆管理层的抵制,雷石东不惜付出高额的遣散费,将维亚康姆的高层管理全部撤换了一遍。由此可见其蛮横独行的性格。 Once this kind of person has made the decision, the probability that only if oneself to the dead end, made concessions on own initiative basically is zero. 这样一个人一旦做出了决定,除非自身到了穷途末路,主动退让的几率基本为零。 The same day of Viacom offer, Firefly increased to 5 billion USD the price, attention who the 100 million USD difference, let this purchase merely guessed that this was only probe between Firefly and a Viacom. 维亚康姆报价的当天,萤火虫紧接着将价格增加到了50亿美元,仅仅一亿美元的差额,让这次收购的关注者都猜测这只是萤火虫与维亚康姆之间的一次试探。 Following one week of time, both sides as if did not have any sound. But only participation person knows by oneself. These days Viacom and Firefly purchase team and contact in Disney aspect becomes more frequent. 接下来一周时间,双方似乎都没有了什么动静。但只有亲身参与其中的人才知道。这段时间维亚康姆和萤火虫的收购团队与迪斯尼方面的接触变得更加频繁。 Meanwhile, many people realized. The next two months of feeling grateful Christmas files will have the decisive effect to this purchase, this mainly because the Disney's management had not given up lobbying the shareholder jointly to resist this purchase the thought that if these two months, the Disney's achievement has had a new look. Also or Firefly presents the major accident, the Disney management likely once more won the suitable shareholder's support. 同时,很多人都意识到。未来两个月的感恩圣诞档将对这次收购产生决定性作用,这主要还是因为迪斯尼的管理层一直没有放弃游说股东共同抵制这次收购的念头,如果这两个月时间,迪斯尼的业绩有所改观。又或者萤火虫出现重大变故,迪斯尼管理层很可能再次赢得相当股东的支持。 Although the Box Office total amount of running schedule is lower than the summer files at the end of the year, the intense degree of but competing is not weak. 虽然年底档期的票房总额远低于暑期档,但竞争的激烈程度却丝毫不弱。 On November 22, the first week of holiday files, was headed by Fox «Home Alone 3» at the end of the year, including Disney's «Beauty and the Beast», Firefly «Dumb and Dumber», Paramount «The Addams Family» as well as Universal «An American Tail 2: Fievel Goes West» five new pieces simultaneously massively screened. 11月22日,年底假日档的第一周,以福克斯的《小鬼当家3》为首,包括迪斯尼的《美女与野兽》,萤火虫的《阿呆与阿瓜》,派拉蒙的《亚当斯一家》以及环球的《美国鼠谭2》在内五部新片同时大规模上映。 Although the midfeather one year has not developed the sequel, but the «Home Alone 3» tendencies do not reduce. The first weekend three days have taken 2 more than 7 million Box Office in more than 2500 theaters, won the weekend three days of Box Office championships unsuspensefully. This result makes Eric somewhat accidental, had not actually regretted that gives the sequel right of exploitation to Fox. After all. The cost of this sequel surpasses 50 million USD, the Fox profit space is not big. 虽然中间间隔了一年没有开发续集,但《小鬼当家3》势头丝毫不减。首周末三天就在2500多家影院拿下了2700多万票房,毫无悬念地夺得了周末三天票房冠军。这个成绩让艾瑞克有些意外,却也没有后悔将续集开发权转让给福克斯。毕竟。这一部续集的成本超过5000万美元,福克斯的盈利空间并不大。 After pursuing «Home Alone 3» tightly the one who is Paramount «The Addams Family», this family singularly varied comedy has attained 24 million USD Box Office in more than 2400 theaters. 紧追《小鬼当家3》之后的是派拉蒙的《亚当斯一家》,这部家庭奇幻喜剧在2400多家影院拿到了2400万美元的票房。 The Firefly road comedy «Dumb and Dumber» rows in third, Eric are this movie have arranged 1900 theaters, first weekend Box Office just achieved 20 million. 萤火虫的公路喜剧《阿呆与阿瓜》排在了第三位,艾瑞克为这部电影安排了1900家影院,首周末票房刚刚达到2000万。 Although this result is inferior to the first two works, but before «Home Alone» and «The Addams Family» passed, made or TV series accumulated the massive fame. But «Dumb and Dumber» completely is a brand-new work, without any popularity accumulation. The progress that in addition movie very low cost, makes instead were paid more attention. 虽然这个成绩远不如前两部作品,但《小鬼当家》和《亚当斯一家》都已经通过前作或者电视剧积累了大量名气。而《阿呆与阿瓜》完全是一部全新的作品,没有任何人气积累。再加上影片非常低的成本,取得的成绩反而更加受人关注。 The same day that the first weekend result draws a charge, Hollywood Film Studio started to study this movie, attempts to find this comedy the success essential factor to imitate. They had also found the key quickly, is actor Jim Carrey of movie. However after knowing contract content that Jim Carrey and TG sign, most people broke the thoughts. 首周末成绩出炉的当天,好莱坞电影公司就已经纷纷开始对这部电影进行研究,企图找到这部喜剧的成功要素加以模仿。他们也很快找到了关键,便是电影的男主角金.凯瑞。不过当得知金.凯瑞与tg签署的合约内容之后,大部分人都断了心思。 Except for these three movies, Disney's «Beauty and the Beast», although obtained the good reputation, but is restricted in less than 1000 to screen the scale, Box Office was only listed at fifth, even fell behind Universal Pictures has screened one week of «Cape Fear», this movie was Martin Scorsese directs, Robert De Niro acted the leading role. 除了这三部电影,迪斯尼的《美女与野兽》虽然获得了不错的口碑,但限于不到1000家上映规模,票房只排在了第五位,甚至落后于环球影业已经上映了一周的《恐怖角》,这部电影为马丁.斯科塞斯执导,罗伯特.德尼罗主演。 As for Universal another with Spielberg's Abe Forest Film Industry jointly develop «An American Tail 2: Fievel Goes West», has only harvested 3 400,000 USD pitiful Box Office in 1700 theaters, becomes first Box Office of running schedule is dud at the end of the year. 至于环球另外一部与斯皮尔伯格的安倍林影业共同开发的《美国鼠谭2》,在1700家影院只收获了340万美元的可怜票房,成为年底档期的首部票房哑弹。 Facing with the petty action that struggling as well as the Disney of management Viacom often makes, during Eric entire Thanksgiving, has not rested, even is Jeffrey and the others together eats including the Thanksgiving supper. 面对与维亚康姆的明争暗斗以及迪斯尼管理层不时搞出来的小动作,艾瑞克整个感恩节期间都没有休息,甚至连感恩节晚餐都是和杰弗里等人一起吃的。 Eric to the conservative Box Office estimate of «Dumb and Dumber» is about 80 million, so long as can achieve this result, Eric is then well satisfied, after all, the vulgar comedy has not cultivated enough audience community in Hollywood before then. Some potential completely broken hundred million hopes that but this movie displays, Eric no longer was extremely worried about following «The Heat» Box Office. 艾瑞克原本对《阿呆与阿瓜》的保守票房估计为8000万左右,只要能达到这个成绩,艾瑞克便心满意足,毕竟,在此之前低俗喜剧还没有在好莱坞培育出足够的观众群体。但这部电影所表现出来的潜力完全有破亿的希望,连带着艾瑞克不再对接下来的《辣手警花》票房太过担心。 However, «Dumb and Dumber», although makes the clear eye progress, was actually attacked by Disney's, «Dumb and Dumber» screens the second day, Disney then accuses the vulgar style and Disney's of this movie manages the mentality to be incompatible, if two companies merge, this vulgar comedy will tarnish the Disney health upward brand image without doubt. 不过,《阿呆与阿瓜》虽然取得了亮眼的成绩,却受到了迪斯尼的攻击,《阿呆与阿瓜》上映第二天,迪斯尼便指责这部电影的低俗风格与迪斯尼的经营思路格格不入,如果两家公司合并的话,这种低俗喜剧无疑会损害迪斯尼健康向上的品牌形象。 Facing Disney some accusations of pestering endlessly. Eric made the person make the strong counter-attack directly. After indicating completes the purchase, Disney becomes the brand of Firefly, a subsidiary company. But is not Firefly is primarily Disney, therefore the accusation of Disney current management completely is nonsensical talk, the work that among the different subsidiary companies develops will not affect each other, after all, Touchstone Film Industry of Disney has also produced considerable amount of R-rated movies in recent years. 面对迪斯尼有些胡搅蛮缠的指责。艾瑞克直接让人做出了强硬的回击。表示完成收购之后,迪斯尼将成为萤火虫旗下的一个品牌,一个子公司。而并不是萤火虫以迪斯尼为主,因此迪斯尼现任管理层的指责完全是无稽之谈,不同子公司之间开发的作品并不会影响彼此,毕竟,迪斯尼旗下的试金石影业近几年也制作了相当数量的r级电影。 Experienced the Thanksgiving running schedule of all around time, «Home Alone 3» Box Office has achieved 80 million USD, because is the Christmas files. Fox estimated that the movie following response can attain the same level Box Office amount as before, because the «Home Alone 3» same types compete. Around «Beauty and the Beast» Box Office, only then over 30 million USD, this movie, although the reputation is good, but on Box Office will actually be doomed not to have the too great achievement. But «Dumb and Dumber» Box Office actually achieved 6 5 million, Box Office broken hundred million absolutely did not have any suspense. 经历了四周时间的感恩节档期,《小鬼当家3》票房累计达到了8000万美元,因为接下来就是圣诞档。福克斯估计影片后续反应依旧能拿到同等的票房数额,因为《小鬼当家3》的同类型竞争。《美女与野兽》四周票房只有3000万美元出头,这部电影虽然口碑不错,但票房上却注定不会有太大作为。而《阿呆与阿瓜》票房却达到了6500万,票房破亿完全没有任何悬念。 Spielberg is doomed the ridge that is Hollywood anybody cannot circle past. When most people will focus on Firefly and in the Disney's movie, was placed the great expectations by Sony Film Industry «Hook» decides the release date boldly in December 6. 斯皮尔伯格注定是好莱坞任何人都绕不过去的一道坎儿。在大部分人都将注意力放在了萤火虫与迪斯尼的影片上时,被索尼影业寄予厚望的《霍克船长》大胆地将上映日期定在了12月6日。 Although script of this movie under the participation of Eric, has made the large scale revision, increases the actor's pay of small female celestial Nicole has played, but cannot save the reputation of movie as before, screened first two weeks to welcome a hiss on the media, Sony Film Industry estimated first week Box Office of movie will surpass 40 million USD, but in fact, the movie first week has only attained 17 million. Although along with Christmas day approaching, week Box Office increases, does not have any week to break the 30 million USD critical junction. This spent the big manufacture of 70 million USD to be doomed by consuming Spielberg's individual reputation recoups the cost. 这部电影的剧本虽然在艾瑞克的参与下,进行了大幅度的修改,增加了妮可饰演的小仙女的戏份,但依旧没能挽救电影的口碑,上映前两周在媒体上迎来了一片嘘声,索尼影业原本预计电影的首周票房会超过4000万美元,但实际上,影片首周只拿到了1700万。虽然随着圣诞节的临近,周票房有所增加,却也没有任何一周突破3000万美元的大关。这部耗资7000万美元的大制作注定要凭借消耗斯皮尔伯格的个人口碑来收回成本了。 Appears more common with «Dances with Wolves» that «Hook» simultaneously screens. Although after small scale movie, reputation full house, when movie four hours of long also kept off the majority of audiences in out of the door. 与《霍克船长》同时上映的《与狼共舞》就显得更加不起眼。虽然小规模电影后口碑爆棚,但影片四个小时的时长也将大部分观众挡在了门外。 On December 20, the first week of Christmas files, Firefly «The Heat» and Disney's «Father of the Bride» simultaneously screened in 1900 theaters. «Father of the Bride» turns the shooting as one, what propaganda key dependence is original Elizabeth. Fame that Taylor accumulates, but original, although is a classical work. Also has actually been separated by with the present for 40 years, the influence to be already not much left. Therefore this movie first week only has also attained 1440 ten thousand Box Office. 12月20日,圣诞档的第一周,萤火虫的《辣手警花》和迪斯尼的《新岳父大人》同时在1900家影院上映。《新岳父大人》作为一部翻拍片,宣传重点依靠的是原版伊丽莎白.泰勒积累下来的名气,但原版虽然是一部经典作品。与现在却也已经相隔了40年时间,影响力早已所剩无几。因而这部电影首周也只拿到了1440多万票房。 Compares in the «Father of the Bride» old-fashioned person comedy style, same walks «The Heat» of vulgar comedy route with «Dumb and Dumber» to letting the large audiences at present one bright, although the movie is not quite good because of film critic there reputation, but the first weekend three days as before have actually attained 21 million USD Box Office. Nicole plays the female detective and Rosie O'Donnell who boorish fat policewoman serious actually somewhat dull sprouts teams up mutually, entering the audience in movie theater brought for 100 minutes not to urinate the laughter view shade journey. But subversion performance of Nicole in «The Heat» even made many people's in «Hook» Nicole to the small female celestial that played have the interest, unknowingly has led «Hook» Box Office, but accepted to interview the movie fan also to express that majority of liked performance of Nicole in «The Heat». 相比于《新岳父大人》的老派喜剧风格,和《阿呆与阿瓜》一样走低俗喜剧路线的《辣手警花》到让大量观众眼前一亮,虽然影片在影评人那里的口碑不太好,但首周末三天却依旧拿到了2100万美元的票房。妮可饰演的一本正经却有些呆萌的女探员和罗茜.奥唐纳的粗野胖女警相互搭档,给走进电影院的观众带来了100分钟毫无尿点的爆笑观影旅程。而妮可在《辣手警花》中的颠覆表演甚至让不少人对《霍克船长》里妮可饰演的小仙女产生了兴趣,不知不觉带动了《霍克船长》的票房,不过大部分接受采访影迷也表示更喜欢妮可在《辣手警花》中的表演。 1991 last day quick in the past, along with the new year arrival, the Hollywood major Film Studio 1991 total Box Office statistics also one after another drew a charge, simultaneously as if also suggested final contention that mountain rain wanted. 1991年的最后一天很快过去,随着新年的到来,好莱坞各大电影公司1991年度的总票房统计也陆续出炉,同时似乎也暗示了一场山雨欲来的最终角逐。 Although some movies are still opening, Box Office and audience who reputation but defers to the movie accumulate, the majority is screening final Box Office of movie to count sketchily. Because of the reason of war, compared in 1990, in 1991 North America year total Box Office had 4 800 million USD. 虽然部分电影还在上映,但按照电影已经积累的票房和观众口碑,大部分在上映电影的最终票房都可以粗略地统计出来。因为战争的缘故,相比于1990年,1991年北美年度总票房只有48亿美元。 Time Warner sits quietly as before big brother Hollywood status, the whole year shows 21 movies, Box Office achieves 750 million USD, the market share is 15.6%. 时代华纳依旧稳坐好莱坞大哥的地位,全年上映21部影片,累计票房达到7.5亿美元,市场份额为15.6%。 Even if not willing to acknowledge, but all people can see that the Firefly name appeared on the second seat dazzlingly, by «Terminator 2: Judgement Day», «Toy Story», «Death of Freddy» and «Dumb and Dumber» as well as «The Heat» these five movies, Firefly then attained has amounted to 6. 600 million USD Box Office, grabbed the North America 13.7 market shares. 即使不愿意承认,但所有人都能够看到,萤火虫的名字非常刺眼地出现在了第二名的位子上,凭借《终结者2》,《玩具总动员》,《弗莱迪之死》、《阿呆与阿瓜》以及《辣手警花》这五部影片,萤火虫便拿到了总计6.6亿美元的票房,占据了北美13.7的市场份额。 Because detained the note the majority of resources on «Cutthroat Island», the Disney whole year has only distributed 12 movies, the «Cutthroat Island» Box Office disastrous defeat that most placed the great expectations, causing Disney whole year Box Office only to have 380 million USD. The market share fell for five years lowest 7%. 因为将大部分资源押注在了《割喉岛》上,迪斯尼全年只发行了12部影片,最寄予厚望的《割喉岛》票房惨败,导致迪斯尼全年票房仅有3.8亿美元。市场份额滑落到了五年内最低的7%。 Because moreover, reached as high as the debt of 2 billion USD needs to pay the interest and matured principal, Disney had the loss of 120 million USD. By the stimulation of this data. Since Disney stock price five months first time falling. 不仅如此,因为高达20亿美元的负债需要支付利息和到期本金,迪斯尼出现了1.2亿美元的亏损。受此数据的刺激。迪斯尼股价五个多月以来的首次下跌。 Had a Disney shareholder of ray of hope to lose heart to the Disney management finally thoroughly, starts seriously to treat the purchase of Firefly and Viacom. 原本对迪斯尼管理层持有一线希望的迪斯尼股东终于彻底死心,开始认真对待萤火虫与维亚康姆的收购。 „Sorry, Mr. Buss, is very regrettable we unable to reach the agreement, hope to have the opportunity cooperation next time,” Eric will stand in the Cliff Peak Manor parking lot, will say goodbye with the front two middle-aged people again. “抱歉,巴斯先生,很遗憾我们没能达成协议,希望下次有机会合作,”艾瑞克站在尖角庄园的停车场,与面前的两个中年人再次告别。 Is preparing two who boards to depart to distinguish named Sid Bass and Roy Disney. Sid Bass is has the Disney stock many Bass Family current helmsmen, Roy Disney needless to say. Disney Family person, Walt Disney nephew. 正准备上车离去的两人分别名叫希德.巴斯和罗伊.迪斯尼。希德.巴斯便是拥有迪斯尼股份最多的巴斯家族现任掌舵人,罗伊.迪斯尼自不必说。迪斯尼家族的人,华特.迪斯尼的侄子。 „Hopes,” Sid Bass deeply looked at Eric again, sneaked in own silver car. The Roy Disney lip moves, as if wanted to say anything, actually also finally got up car. “但愿吧,”希德.巴斯再一次深深看了眼艾瑞克,钻进了自己的银色轿车。罗伊.迪斯尼嘴唇动了动,似乎想要说什么,却也最终跟着上了轿车。 Waits for opposite party car to leave Cliff Peak Manor, has stood in Eric Chris peacefully cannot bear say: „Eric, I thought the condition that the opposite party put forward was good, if you complied, Viacom again could not create to threaten to us.” 等对方的汽车离开尖角庄园,一直安静地站在艾瑞克身边的克里斯忍不住道:“艾瑞克,我觉得对方提出的条件还不错,如果你答应的话,维亚康姆就再也对我们造成不了威胁了。” The visiting of Sid Bass and Roy Disney, has represented Disney's a large part of shareholders, hopes in the stock by hand. After receiving in exchange Firefly and Disney merge the corporation stock, but is not a cash. 希德.巴斯和罗伊.迪斯尼的这次的拜访,代表了迪斯尼的很大一部分股东,希望以手中的股份。换取萤火虫与迪斯尼合并后的公司股份,而不是一笔现金。 So long as Eric agreed that some shareholder meetings of Disney join up. Helps Firefly complete the purchase, but Eric has chosen the rejection as before. 只要艾瑞克同意,迪士尼的这部分股东会联合起来。帮助萤火虫完成收购,但艾瑞克依旧选择了拒绝。 Heard the Chris words, Eric looked at eye another side Bernie Sanders: „Does Pawnee, you think?” 听到克里斯的话,艾瑞克看了眼另一边的伯尼.桑德斯:“波尼,你觉得呢？” Bernie Sanders shrugs, said: „I recommended the person, actually Sid Bass related my time. I have not reported anything to hope. I know that you had decided already on the attention.” 波尼.桑德斯耸耸肩,说道:“我只是引荐人,其实希德.巴斯联系我的时候。我就没报什么希望。我知道你心里早就打定了注意。” Eric smiled, having their round trip to walk. Said: „You should hear, Barry Diller must leave job from Fox in February.” 艾瑞克笑了笑,带着两人往回走。说道:“你们应该听说了吧,巴里.迪勒二月份就要从福克斯离职了。” They also nod, these days they quite watch the Hollywood news. 两人同时点点头,这段时间他们都相当关注好莱坞的消息。 The news that Barry Diller will soon leave job has created very big vibration in Hollywood, in the past Murdoch as an outcomer, his main energy placed the newspaper industry management of Australian and in United Kingdom as before. If not the assistance of Barry Diller, Murdoch is impossible to enter the Hollywood mainstream circle, but the development of Fox TV Network is out of the question. Therefore, Barry Diller suddenly the inside story that leaves job from Fox also becomes the object who many people guessed. Eric meets Elizabeth during the Christmas day, asked this issue, the girl has not concealed to her. 巴里.迪勒即将离职的消息在好莱坞造成了很大的震动,当年默多克作为一个外来者,他的主要精力依旧放在澳洲和英国的报业经营上。如果不是巴里.迪勒的辅助,默多克根本不可能进入好莱坞的主流圈子,而福克斯电视网的发展更是无从谈起。因此,巴里.迪勒突然从福克斯离职的内幕也就成了很多人猜测的对象。艾瑞克在圣诞节期间遇到伊丽莎白,问起了这个问题,女郎也没有对她隐瞒。 Eric said: Person who „Barry Diller is one has the talent, Fox these years rising, Barry Diller occupied the majority of merit. Mr. Murdoch has also carried on detaining, but probably was in September of last year, Barry Diller said to Murdoch that he does not want to be the worker again, he wants to become a master, you know how Murdoch replied?” 艾瑞克道:“巴里.迪勒是一个非常有才华的人,福克斯这些年来的崛起,巴里.迪勒占据了大部分功劳。默多克先生也进行了挽留,不过大概是去年九月份吧,巴里.迪勒对默多克说,他不想再做打工者了,他想成为主人,你们知道默多克是怎么回答的吗？” Chris and Bernie show the curious look. 克里斯和伯尼都露出好奇的神色。 Eric does not keep guessing, said: „Murdoch said that Fox can only have a master.” 艾瑞克也不卖关子,道:“默多克说,福克斯只能有一个主人。” Chris they were silent. 克里斯两人都沉默了下来。 Eric also said: „ Firefly is also same, can only have a master. Murdoch can definitely realize that departure of Barry Diller will have very tremendous influence to the development of Fox, but he slightly has not actually considered the second choice, even if this choice cannot affect him the control to Fox. 艾瑞克又道:“萤火虫也一样,只能有一个主人。默多克肯定能意识到巴里.迪勒的离开会对福克斯的发展造成很大影响,但他却丝毫没有考虑第二种选择,即使这种选择丝毫不会影响到他对福克斯的控制。 Many investors always give enterprise all people to instill into one type unable to keep everything for oneself the idea that the share interest can develop, actually this is only they want to capture the one excuse of enterprise domination, but the stock receiving in exchange development funds in selling hand, often do not have too the person of choice. 很多投资者总是给企业所有人灌输一种不能吃独食、分享利益才能发展的观念,其实这只是他们想要夺取企业控制权的一种借口而已,而出让手中的股份换取发展资金的,往往也只是没有太多选择的人。 If there is a sufficient fund, I want initially Microsoft and Oracle, the Cisco owner, will not choose listing financing. But after most people succeed, is goes all out to increase holds the stock in hand, attempts the purpose of serving controls stock. Firefly is quite lucky, I currently just have enough fund to walk one to be completely different from the paths of other pioneers, although difficult, the price of paying are also many, but I thought that this is worth. I will not choose absolutely am relatively relaxed and actually am the Firefly future leave the numerous hidden troubles that road. ” ( to be continued ) 如果有充足的资金,我想当初无论是微软、甲骨文、还是思科的所有者,都不会选择上市融资。而大部分人成功之后,也都是拼命地想要增持手中的股份,企图达到重新控股的目的。萤火虫比较幸运,我现在刚好有足够的资金走一条完全不同于其他创业者的道路,虽然难一点,付出的代价也多一点,但我觉得这是值得的。我绝对不会选择相对轻松、却为萤火虫的未来埋下重重隐患的那一条路。”(未完待续) ps: The web server collapse, yeah, before was also only the client side, now including master station this, upload late, sorry. ps:网站服务器崩溃,哎,以前还只是客户端,现在连主站都这样,上传晚了,抱歉。
