Thinks that this possibility, relates Paramount situation in imminent danger again, Martin Davis is also again hard to suppress anger at heart, pats the tableware on the tabletop accuses saying: „Eric, I have wasted for one week in Kauai Island, you cannot like this casually lose to the answer that my so is perfunctory.” 想到这种可能,再联系派拉蒙岌岌可危的局势,马丁.戴维斯再也难以压制心里的愤怒,将餐具拍在桌面上指责道:“艾瑞克,我在考艾岛浪费了一个多星期时间,你不能就这样随便丢给我一个如此敷衍的答案。” Eric first is somewhat accidental, immediately coldly smiled, said: „Martin, you have made a mistake any matter, I am not your subordinate, please do not speak to me with this expression. Moreover, from the beginning, I have not promised anything to you.” 艾瑞克先是有些意外,随即冷冷地笑了笑,道:“马丁,你是不是搞错了什么事情,我可不是你的下属,请不要用这种语气对我说话。而且,从一开始,我就没有对你许诺过任何事情。” „You......” Martin Davis stared Eric just to say anything, suddenly thinks of the current situation: „Good, Eric, what do you want?” “你……”马丁.戴维斯瞪着艾瑞克刚刚要说什么,突然又想到目前的形势:“好吧,艾瑞克,你到底想要什么？” Eric shook the head gently: „It is not I wants anything, but is you wants anything, Martin, you want to defend Paramount, but the present situation is actually, achievement that because Paramount other shareholders recent the company keep falling, but wants the stock leverage in hand. Therefore, must cancel these people to sell the thought of company, what Paramount most needs was one makes the person be full of the confidence advantage good news to the company prospect, but solely was not the cooperation of 12 movies.” 艾瑞克轻轻摇了摇头:“不是我想要什么,而是你想要什么,马丁,你想要守住派拉蒙,但现在的情况却是,派拉蒙的其他股东因为最近几年公司不停滑落的业绩,而想要将手中的股份套现。所以,要打消那些人出售公司的念头,派拉蒙最需要的是一个让人对公司前景充满了信心的利好消息,而不单单是12部电影的合作。” „Advantage good news?” “利好消息？” „Yes, for example, Firefly Pictures buys stock Paramount,” Eric not minces matter oneself destination to say. “是的,比如,萤火虫影业入股派拉蒙,”艾瑞克毫不掩饰自己目的地说道。 These words made Martin Davis fall into silent, by the excellent performance of Firefly in movie, Martin Davis knows that this proposition really has very big help to the Paramount current situation, but on the other hand. Martin Davis produces a territory by the vigilance that the bystander encroaches upon. 这句话让马丁.戴维斯陷入了沉默,以萤火虫在电影方面的出色表现,马丁.戴维斯知道,这个提议确实对派拉蒙目前的局势有很大的帮助,但另外一方面。马丁.戴维斯又产生一种领地被外人侵犯的警惕。 Considered the moment, Martin Davis to probe was saying: „Eric, if Firefly and Paramount exchange stock forms the cooperation alliance. I can promise you.” 考虑了片刻,马丁.戴维斯才试探着说道:“艾瑞克,如果是萤火虫与派拉蒙互换股份形成合作联盟的话。我可以答应你。” „Sorry, Martin, Firefly has not introduced the plan of external stakeholder at present, I meant that to pay the cash the way, acquires Paramount some stockholder's rights.” “抱歉,马丁,萤火虫目前还没有引入外部股东的打算,我是说以支付现金的方式,收购派拉蒙的部分股权。” Martin Davis almost wants to shake the head immediately, actually suppressed impulsive, asked again: „How many stocks do you plan to purchase?” 马丁.戴维斯几乎立刻就想要摇头,却抑制住了冲动,再次问道:“你打算购买多少股份？” „Are not many. 20%,” Eric has given a figure. “不多。20%,”艾瑞克给出了一个数字。 Martin Davis almost scolded to make noise. Aren't 20% many? 马丁.戴维斯差点骂出声来。20还不多？ „Eric, you know that I am impossible to promise you . Moreover, you grasped Firefly Pictures now. Phrases the Paramount 20% stocks again, the federation trades the committee not to authorize easily.” “艾瑞克,你知道我不可能答应你,而且,你现在已经掌握了萤火虫影业。再收购派拉蒙20的股份,联邦交易委员会也不会那么轻易批准的。” „Martin, why said is so absolute, all can discuss.” “马丁,何必说的这么绝对呢,一切都是可以谈的。” The Eric expression has not changed slightly, but Martin Davis does not have the thought of discussing, if with Firefly exchange stock, let alone 20%, even if are more, Martin Davis is also glad to comply. After all, grasps Disney, Pixar and digital domain and other Firefly Pictures of a series of premium asset is being any capital forces greedy investment objective. 艾瑞克语气丝毫没有变化,但马丁.戴维斯却没有了谈下去的念头,如果是与萤火虫互换股份的话,别说20,哪怕更多一些,马丁.戴维斯也很乐意答应下来。毕竟,掌握着迪斯尼、皮克斯、数字领域等一系列优质资产的萤火虫影业是任何资本势力都眼馋的投资目标。 But the way of cash purchase he will not agree how, because sells this stock. Was equal to that has given Firefly Paramount a large part of authorities, but oneself has not actually attained any diverts the Firefly chip. Although after selling the Paramount 20% stocks, he as before is the biggest shareholder, but also differs with the Firefly owning stocks disparity not many, so long as Firefly wants, even momentarily possibly unites other shareholders to chase off the stage him. 但现金收购的方式他如何都不会同意,因为出售这笔股份。等于将派拉蒙很大一部分权力交给了萤火虫,而自身却没有拿到任何牵制萤火虫的筹码。虽然出售派拉蒙20股份之后,他依旧是最大股东,但与萤火虫的持股差距也相差不多,萤火虫只要愿意,甚至随时都可能联合其他股东将他赶下台。 „Eric. Since you such do not have the sincerity, I thought that we do not need to discuss again.” Martin Davis was saying, sets out directly. “艾瑞克。既然你这么没有诚意,我觉得我们没有必要再谈下去了。”马丁.戴维斯说着,直接直起身。 Eric has also shown regrettable look: „That can only say was sorry, Martin, I think that this to Paramount can be an opportunity.” 艾瑞克也露出了遗憾的神色:“那只能说抱歉了,马丁,我以为这对派拉蒙会是一次机会。” Martin Davis almost cannot bear nonsense of Eric, he only saw this is the Firefly opportunity, this youth absolutely did not have this age young people proper naivete, instead looked like one after the worldly person of humans affair, wholeheartedly was only thinking taking advantage. 马丁.戴维斯差点受不了艾瑞克的胡扯,他可是只看到了这是萤火虫的机会,这个青年完全没有他这个年龄年轻人应有的稚气,反而像一个历经世事的人精,一心只想着趁火打劫。 Packed off Martin Davis, Eric returned to tent, Alan noted here situation, followed. 送走了马丁.戴维斯,艾瑞克回到帐篷里,艾伦注意到这边的情况,也跟了进来。 „I also think when you again and Paramount cooperation,” Alan remember Martin Davis leaves the disappointed expression, said with a smile. “我还以为你会再和派拉蒙合作呢,”艾伦想起马丁.戴维斯离开时的失望表情,笑着说道。 Eric is having front lunch, said ambiguously: „To cooperate, the condition that what a pity I give he does not comply.” 艾瑞克吃着面前的午餐,含糊地说道:“是想合作来着,可惜我给出的条件他不答应。” Alan can think that Eric has certainly started out one condition that makes people be hard to accept, he is not interested, instead asked: „Eric, in Paramount these movie projects, you could not have had a liking for really?” 艾伦能够想到艾瑞克一定是开出了一个让人难以接受的条件,他对此并不是太感兴趣,反而问道:“艾瑞克,派拉蒙的那些电影项目里,真的没有你看得上的吗？” „«Twister» this rank truly does not have, as for «Hot Shots» this rank, definitely does not need to waste the time.” “《龙卷风》这个级别的确实一个都没有,至于《反斗神鹰》这个级别的,完全没有必要浪费时间。” Alan has shown a face amazed look, by the «Twister» Box Office trend, global Box Office of this movie at least is also 600 million ranks, Eric this request also was too as if high, but he also quickly realized, if not the movie of this rank, Firefly definitely does not need to cooperate with the opposite party, cooperates to develop «Hot Shots» this rank again the movie, can only have the competition with the movie of Firefly same scale. 艾伦露出了一脸惊诧的神色,以《龙卷风》的票房走势,这部电影的全球票房至少也是600000000级别的,艾瑞克这个要求似乎也太高了一些,不过他也很快意识到,如果不是这种级别的影片,萤火虫完全没有必要与对方合作,再合作开发《反斗神鹰》这种级别的电影,只会与萤火虫同档次的影片产生竞争。 Eric has not cared about the Alan expression , to continue saying: „The Paramount current situation, mainly Martin Davis create, he does not understand the movie obviously, firmly is actually dominating the Paramount power, causing the professionals to become the puppet, in these hands was grasping Director or the producer of high-quality project often most repugnant cooperated with this layman.” 艾瑞克没有在意艾伦的表情,继续说道:“派拉蒙目前的情形,主要还是马丁.戴维斯自己造成的,他明明不懂电影,却牢牢把持着派拉蒙的大权,导致专业人才都成了傀儡,那些手中掌握着优质项目的导演或者制片人往往最讨厌的就是与这种外行人合作。” „Is willing to feel relieved that gives Boss of occupation Manager person not to be many authority,” Alan said with a smile that simultaneously intent has referred to looking at Eric. “肯放心地将权力交给职业经理人的老板可不多,”艾伦笑着说道,同时意有所指地看了看艾瑞克。 „Therefore I admire Murdoch, he can adeptly between releasing authority and control seeks for balanced, if initially he bound the hands and feet of Barry Diller like Martin Davis, that present will not have 20th Century Fox Film Studio and Fox TV Network. When Barry Diller wants to change from guest to host, Murdoch then without hesitation separates from each other with the opposite party. Therefore , although the media frequently make a comparison Murdoch and Redstone, but the Murdoch achievement will actually be doomed to surmount with Martin Davis attitude similar Redstone,” Eric will say these, looks assistant who has been lost in thought that will say with a smile: „Alan, did you follow in my side already four years?” “所以我还是非常佩服默多克的,他就能够娴熟地在放权和掌控之间寻找到一个平衡,如果当初他像马丁.戴维斯那样束缚住巴里.迪勒的手脚,那现在也就不会有二十世纪福克斯电影公司和福克斯电视网。而当巴里.迪勒想要反客为主时,默多克便毫不犹豫地与对方分道扬镳。所以说,虽然媒体常常将默多克和雷石东做对比,但默多克的成就却注定会超越与马丁.戴维斯作风相似的雷石东,”艾瑞克说完这些,看了看陷入沉思的助理,笑道:“艾伦,你跟在我身边已经四年了吧？” „Also misses for five months the full four years, that is shoots 《Pretty Woman》 time, I am your Director assistant, afterward Mr. Hansson said that temporarily had not found the appropriate person, good that I make, lets me hold the post of your secretary assistant temporarily, unknowingly to the present,” the Alan expression somewhat sobbed, initially he just relied on the «Home Alone» budding company to Firefly this responds to rush is becoming the Director goal. “还差五个月才满四年,那还是拍摄《风月俏佳人》的时候,我本来是你的导演助理,后来汉森先生说暂时没有找到合适的人,我又做的不错,就让我暂时担任你的秘书助理,不知不觉就到了现在,”艾伦的语气有些唏嘘,当初他到萤火虫这家刚刚凭借《小鬼当家》崭露头角的公司应聘本来是奔着成为导演的目标去的。 „Do you have to pass to be the departments?” “你有想过去担任部门主管吗？” Alan remembers recently Eric always with the topic that he will talk about some will not mention in the past, as well as the vague probe, understood the intention of Eric finally. Regarding the proposition of Eric, Alan is certainly excited, follows in the Eric side, although the wage is very high, actually also limited his development: „I have certainly thought that Eric, do you currently have the appropriate secretary assistant candidate?” 艾伦想起最近艾瑞克总是与他聊一些以往不会提及的话题,以及若有若无的试探,终于明白了艾瑞克的用意。对于艾瑞克的提议,艾伦当然非常心动,跟在艾瑞克身边虽然薪水很高,却也限制住了他的发展:“我当然想过,艾瑞克,你现在有合适的秘书助理人选吗？” „Temporarily did not have, but......” Eric as if thinks of anything, has smiled: „Your next if certainly female, moreover is attractive, has the makings, the ability is outstanding.” “暂时还没有,不过……”艾瑞克似乎想到什么,笑了起来:“不过你的下一任一定要是个女的,而且要漂亮,有气质,能力出众。” „This is not good to look,” Alan has smiled, suddenly has thought of a form of person: „Has a very good ready-made candidate actually.” “这可不好找,”艾伦跟着笑了起来,突然想到了一个人的身影:“不过倒是有一个很好的现成人选。” „consider as finished,” Eric understands what immediately Alan finger is who: „Liz complies, does not do for a long time, her status places there. I do not put you to get down in any case immediately, slowly looks and that's the end.” “还是算了吧,”艾瑞克立刻就明白艾伦指的是谁:“莉兹就算答应,也做不长久的,她的身份放在那里。反正我也不会立刻放你下去,慢慢找就是了。” Alan nodded, will leave, asked: „Was right, Mr. Davis left, do I also want to continue to pay attention to the Paramount matter?” 艾伦点了点头,正要离开,又问道:“对了,戴维斯先生离开了,我还要继续关注派拉蒙的事情吗？” „Naturally, this regarding Hollywood after all is an important matter.” “当然,这对于好莱坞毕竟是一件大事。” ...... …… Reason that returning empty-handed of Martin Davis has not stemmed from the anticipation of too many person, Barry Diller has not hurried to Hawaii , because guessed that this result, he is clear to the Paramount situation, knows that Martin Davis cannot pay Columbia such price absolutely, but Eric will not be that probably and person. 马丁.戴维斯的空手而归并没有出乎太多人的意料,巴里.迪勒之所以没有赶去夏威夷,就是因为猜测到了这种结果,他对派拉蒙的情况非常清楚,知道马丁.戴维斯绝对付不起哥伦比亚那样的代价,而艾瑞克也不会是那么好像与的人。 However, because Redstone exposed to the public purchased the intention of Paramount, Paramount receives has not possibly dropped with the stock price that Firefly cooperated to stimulate to rise, instead had continually the tendency of rise. Although Barry Diller has not been clear about the purchase intention of public QVC, a series of movements that but he makes these clearly have actually indicated their goal. 不过,因为雷石东对外公开了收购派拉蒙的意向,派拉蒙受到可能与萤火虫合作刺激而上扬的股价并没有回落,反而出现了持续上涨的势头。虽然巴里.迪勒没有明确公开qvc的收购意向,但他做出的一系列动作却将这些明确地表明了自己的目的。 Eric is watching the Hollywood situation silently at the same time, «Jurassic Park» shoots is carrying on as before methodically, returns to Los Angeles Martin Davis one after another with Eric through several telephones, has not actually reached any agreement. 艾瑞克默默关注着好莱坞局势的同时,《侏罗纪公园》的拍摄依旧在有条不紊地进行着,回到洛杉矶的马丁.戴维斯陆续又与艾瑞克通过几次电话,却没有达成任何协议。 Along with July the past, North America summer files formally reached the last act, Firefly summer the two big pieces of files were in the conclusion stage, but «Sister Act» that side Disney, Bowei distributed actually had some conditions, because Eric favored the reason of this movie, Disney intensified the release effort, but this movie and «The Mask» same level screening scale, first week Box Office actually be only «The Mask» half, knew this news time, Eric almost think that this movie deviated track originally. However, the second week, «Sister Act» Box Office not only does not have such largely to fall, instead presented the rebound because of the fermentation of reputation such as the Firefly management worries, although scope, only then not worthy of mentioning 2%, but compares in the decline range that these next week frequently cut in two at the waist, this result has made many people be overjoyed. Although limited to the theme of black person comedy, the overseas will not have the good showing, the Box Office trend of but by it displaying, even also possibly surpasses «The Mask» in North America. 随着七月份过去,北美暑期档正式进入尾声,萤火虫暑期档的两部大片已经进入了收尾阶段,而迪斯尼那边,博伟发行的《修女也疯狂》却出了一些状况,因为艾瑞克看好这部电影的缘故,迪斯尼加大了发行力度,不过这部电影与《变相怪杰》同等的上映规模,首周票房却只有《变相怪杰》的一半,得知这个消息的时候,艾瑞克自己都差点以为这部电影偏离了原本的轨道。不过,第二周,《修女也疯狂》的票房不但没有如萤火虫高管担忧的那样大幅下跌,反而因为口碑的发酵而出现了反弹,虽然幅度只有微不足道的2%,但相比于那些次周动辄腰斩的跌幅,这个成绩已经让很多人大喜过望。虽然限于黑人喜剧的题材,海外不会有太好的表现,但以其表现出来的票房走势,在北美甚至还可能超过《变相怪杰》。 Hence, was summer files, Firefly Pictures takes the North America whole year to estimate that merely total Box Office 10%, many media started to forecast whether Firefly will surmount Warner this year. ( to be continued ) 至此,仅仅是一个暑期档,萤火虫影业就拿下了北美全年预计总票房的10,很多媒体已经开始预测萤火虫是否会在今年超越华纳。(未完待续)
