Eric said that the exchange condition, Marcel Novares does not want immediately, even if solely only calculates in the Crédit Lyonnais S.A. hand the Metro Goldwyn Mayer 75% stocks, the 1.2 billion USD price somewhat has underestimated, Eric gives the Metro Goldwyn Mayer overall estimate value actually only then 1.2 billion USD, but in the people mouth absolutely did not have any shadow Production Studio, Eric actually directly to give the 800 million USD sky-high price. ●⌒, 艾瑞克说完互换条件,马塞尔.瓦雷诺立刻就不愿意了,哪怕单单只计算里昂信贷银行手中米高梅75%的股份,12亿美元的价格都有些低估了,艾瑞克给出米高梅的整体估值却只有12亿美元,而众人口中还完全没有任何影子的制作公司,艾瑞克却直接给出了8亿美元的天价。●⌒, Eric, this condition was too harsh, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer overall market value reluctantly is counted 1.2 billion USD, but Production Studio absolutely is actually unworthy 800 million.” 艾瑞克,这个条件太苛刻了,就算米高梅的整体市值勉强算作12亿美元,但制作公司却绝对不值8亿。” Eric has not refuted the meaning of Marcel Novares slightly, some smiled to this French man facetiously, the nod said: Naturally, if you did not agree, can discuss.” 艾瑞克丝毫没有反驳马塞尔.瓦雷诺的意思,有些戏谑地对这个法国佬笑了笑,点头道:“当然,如果你们不同意,也是可以谈的。” Marcel Novares has gawked, in the attention meeting reception room the vision of other people, cannot bear reveal the forced smile. He realized, in this regard, since Eric has opened the mouth, leeway that Metro Goldwyn Mayer has not bargained back and forth. 马塞尔.诺瓦雷愣了下,注意到会客室里其他人的目光,忍不住露出苦笑。他意识到,在这一点上,既然艾瑞克已经开口,米高梅根本就没有讨价还价的余地。 Judging from the present situation, Metro Goldwyn Mayer completely is in passive position, reason that by the plan of Production Studio Eric proposed, Hollywood several other big Film Studio definitely are glad to undertake the distribution, Metro Goldwyn Mayer can attain this opportunity, mainly because of Eric individual will, if he does not want to pay attention to Metro Goldwyn Mayer, only needed to assist Metro Goldwyn Mayer 007 series of manufactures to get rid the blackmarket agreement that because GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) brought, did not need to make these many. 从目前的情况来看,米高梅完全处于被动地位,以艾瑞克所提出的制作公司的计划,好莱坞另外几大电影公司肯定都非常乐意承担发行工作,米高梅之所以能够拿到这次机会,主要还是因为艾瑞克的个人意志,如果他不想理会米高梅,只需要协助米高梅007系列的制作就可以摆脱因为关贸总协定带来的暗盘协议,根本不用做这么多。 Thinks of these, Marcel Novares nods reluctantly: Good, Eric, I will submit this plan as soon as possible to the Board of Directors discussion.” 想到这些,马塞尔.瓦雷诺无奈地点点头:“好吧,艾瑞克,我会尽快将这份方案提交给董事会商讨的。” The matter talked about here, basically made a final decision, was just about to request the people to use the supper as Nicolas Seydoux of master to the dining room, suddenly has thought of an issue: Eric, you planned that makes Production Studio name?” 事情谈到这里,也就基本上敲定,作为主人的尼古拉斯.赛杜正要要求众人到餐厅用晚餐,突然又想到了一个问题:“艾瑞克,你打算让制作公司叫什么名字?” Eric wants not to think that somewhat is loaf blurted out: Called DreamWorks to be good.” 艾瑞克想也不想,有些偷懒地脱口而出:“就叫梦工厂好了。” DreamWorks, good name.” 梦工厂,好名字。” Yes, makes DreamWorks, very good implication.” “是啊,造梦工厂,很不错的寓意。” The people nod to echo in abundance, some Eric actually wicked interests smiled. However, new Production Studio truly and DreamWorks form in original space and time is similar, this name is actually appropriate, but. If Spielberg wants to go all out once more, certainly must be Film Studio chooses other names. 众人纷纷点头附和,艾瑞克却有些恶趣味地笑了笑。不过,新制作公司确实与原时空中的梦工厂形式非常类似,这个名字倒是非常贴切,只不过。如果斯皮尔伯格想要再次大干一把,肯定要为电影公司选择其他名字了。 Had supper in the Seydoux Family hotel, Eric has ridden in a carriage to return to the hotel, the time is 10 : 30 pm, Los Angeles that side or operating time. Eric then telephones Los Angeles Firefly Headquarters, today's matter and Firefly Pictures management has carried on a communication, and makes Michael Lynn dispatch a Firefly high level to participate in the negotiations of new Production Studio. 赛杜家族的宅邸吃过晚餐,艾瑞克乘车回到了酒店,时间已经是晚上十点半,洛杉矶那边还是工作时间。艾瑞克便打电话到洛杉矶萤火虫总部,将今天的事情与萤火虫影业管理层进行了一番沟通,并且让迈克尔.林恩派遣一位萤火虫的高层过来参与新制作公司的谈判。 A few days later, Firefly Pictures Vice Chairman rushed to Paris, is responsible for Firefly Pictures in the benefit negotiations of DreamWorks Film Studio, the Europe propaganda last station Madrid has also completed preview ceremony. Meanwhile, the Paris «Jurassic Park» Box Office data also quickly draws a charge, «Jurassic Park» has harvested 2 more than 7 million francs in the French first week, but with 《Germinal》 first week total Box Office that «Jurassic Park» competes, only then more than 6 million franc, although reduces USD. 《Germinal》 production cost only then «Jurassic Park» half, but the 100 million 60 million francs production costs are in the French movie history produce the cost highest movie as before, after the data draws a charge, French media once more in an uproar, one after another requests certainly the French Government attention native place movie. 几天后,萤火虫影业的一位副总裁赶到了巴黎,负责萤火虫影业梦工厂电影制作公司的利益谈判,欧洲宣传的最后一站西班牙马德里也完成了首映式。与此同时,巴黎的《侏罗纪公园票房数据也很快出炉,《侏罗纪公园》在法国首周就收获了2700多万法郎,而与《侏罗纪公园》打擂台的《萌芽》首周总票房只有600多万法郎,虽然折合成美元《萌芽》的制作成本只有《侏罗纪公园》的一半,但一亿60000000法郎的制作成本依旧是法国电影史上制作成本最高的影片,数据出炉之后,法国媒体当然再次一片哗然,纷纷要求法国正府关注本土电影。 But Eric is very clear, a lot in have settled down in secret, but at this time is the final stage of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) negotiations, facing insistences of some Europe country government offices, the United States federation has issued an ultimatum once more strongly, before December 15, 1993. If the negotiations of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) have not achieved as before, then the entire agreement will become invalid completely. Europe various countries are very clear, if the agreement becomes invalid really completely, then the international trade will fall into a long time confusion. This is being in the matter that economic resurgence time Europe is unable to withstand absolutely. 艾瑞克却很清楚,很多事情在暗中已经尘埃落定,而此时已经是关贸总协定谈判的最后阶段,面对欧洲一些国家正府的坚持,美国联邦再次强硬地发出了一项最后通牒,在1993年12月15日之前。如果关贸总协定的谈判依旧没有达成,那么整个协议将全部作废。欧洲各国都很清楚,如果协议真的全部作废,那么国际贸易将陷入很长一段时间的混乱。这是正处于经济复苏期的欧洲绝对无法承受的事情。 Obtains this news time, Eric was leading the «Jurassic Park» Lord create goes to Japan Tokyo, prepared the movie July 29 Japan Tokyo preview ceremony. 得到这个消息的时候,艾瑞克却已经带着《侏罗纪公园》的主创们前往日本东京,准备电影在7月29日的日本东京首映式。 Meanwhile, Chris and negotiations of Nokia group have also yielded certain result, the principal shareholders of Nokia group agreed does not involve the two-way charges for cellular phones service several other that Nokia has the company from the group is the peeling, only aims at the Nokia two-way charges for cellular phones department and Firefly continues to negotiate. After this agreement achieves. Property scale that entire negotiations involve will reduce from 1.1 billion USD to 700 million USD about. 与此同时,克里斯诺基亚集团的谈判也取得了一定的成果,诺基亚集团的主要股东同意了将诺基亚所拥有的其他几家不涉及移动通讯业务的公司从集团是剥离,只针对诺基亚的移动通讯部门与萤火虫继续谈判。这项协议达成之后。整个谈判涉及到的资产规模将从11亿美元降低到7亿美元左右。 Meanwhile, Eric also finds from Chris there, because extrusion of GSM network received the gradual approval of Europe various countries, more communication corporations started to change the research and development of GSM standard mobile phone the vision. Once other mobile communications companies promote the GSM mobile phone promptly, the time and technical superiority that the Nokia group earlier period accumulates will not exist, in this case, the Nokia aspect urgently needs the big fund to pour into, serves as the new mobile phone to the research and development as well as the marketing promotion of product, therefore, superiority of Firefly in negotiations will come more obviously. 同时,艾瑞克还从克里斯那里了解到,因为gsm网络的推出受到了欧洲各国的逐渐认可,更多的通讯公司已经开始将目光转向gsm制式移动电话的研发。一旦其他移动通讯公司及时推出gsm移动电话,诺基亚集团前期积累的时间和技术优势将不复存在,这种情况下,诺基亚方面迫切需要大笔资金注入,用作新款移动电话到研发以及公司产品的营销推广,因此,萤火虫在谈判上的优势将越来明显。 The property scale of since involving reduced 700 million USD, Eric had then confessed that Chris does not need to haggle over in fund again, what is most important is more gains the Nokia stockholder's rights share, after regarding mobile phone prospect understood that Chris also agreed with the view of Eric. 既然涉及到的资产规模已经降低到了7亿美元,艾瑞克便交代克里斯不用再在资金方面过于计较,最重要的是更多地获取诺基亚的股权份额,经过对于移动电话前景的更多了解,克里斯也同意了艾瑞克的看法。 Eric and propaganda team stops over in the Tokyo City Center Chiyoda-ku, because of the Japan economy in the 80's continual eruption, the time that at this time the Japan national self-respect most surged upward, after Eric arrived at Tokyo, can very clearly from the contact to Japanese felt that type to be ready to make trouble always wants to make anything's mood. 艾瑞克和宣传团队落脚在东京市中心的千代田区,因为日本经济在八十年代的连续爆发,此时正是日本国民自尊心最高涨的时期,艾瑞克来到东京之后,能够很清晰地从接触到的日本人身上感受到那种蠢蠢欲动总想要做点什么的情绪。 Tokyo of July is in one year the sultriest time, in addition does not have what favorable impression regarding this country, Eric is not long in the Japan stay, participates in preview ceremony, hastily left Japan, many people of team chose to remain actually, planned that travelled in Tokyo, except for facing each other across the sea several countries, Japan unusual is good, therefore the majority of westerners who maintained at the international image of West was curious to Japan, in addition Tokyo was the «Jurassic Park» propaganda finally one stood, since has completed the work, what Eric has not demanded. 七月份的东京正是一年中最闷热的时期,再加上对于这个国家没有什么好感,艾瑞克并没有在日本逗留太久,参加完首映式,就匆匆离开了日本,倒是团队的很多人选择留了下来,打算在东京旅游一番,除了隔海相望的几个国家,日本在西方的国际形象维持的非常好,因此大部分西方人都对日本非常好奇,再加上东京是《侏罗纪公园》宣传的最后一站,既然已经完成了工作,艾瑞克也没有强求什么。 Alan, you know that I once the dreams, like the migratory bird, can move in childhood throughout the year unceasingly. Seeks the temperature always placed place life.” Led several entourages to alight from the airplane at the Los Angeles international airport, Eric deeply had inspired, to said in Alan. 艾伦,你知道吗,我小时候曾经有一个梦想,就是像候鸟一样,可以一年四季地不断迁徙。寻找气温总是保持在度的地方生活。”在洛杉矶国际机场带着几位随行人员下了飞机,艾瑞克深深吸了一口气,对走在身边的艾伦说道。 Alan knows Eric eight -year-old time has moved in Los Angeles along with the father from London, asked with a smile: „Before you eight -year-old dreams?” 艾伦知道艾瑞克八岁的时候就随着父亲从伦敦搬来了洛杉矶,笑着问道:“你八岁之前的梦想?” Eric has gawked staring. The nod said: Yes, that you know that the London weather has been awful, I repugnant wet cold environment. Very repugnant.” 艾瑞克愣了愣。点头道:“是啊,那个,你知道,伦敦的天气一直非常糟糕,我讨厌湿冷的环境。非常讨厌。” Alan smiled, asks: That afterward?” 艾伦笑了笑,问道:“那后来呢?” Afterward,” Eric waved as if to hug around the beautiful sunlight: I discovered that actually Los Angeles is this kind of place, so long as here, has not needed to move.” “后来啊,”艾瑞克挥手似乎拥抱了一下周围明媚的阳光:“我才发现,其实洛杉矶就是这样一个地方,只要到了这里,就根本不用迁徙了。” It seems like you do not like the full world flying round very much,” Alan summarized with a smile. “看来你很不喜欢满世界飞来飞去,”艾伦笑着总结道。 Naturally,” Eric has smiled. “当然,”艾瑞克笑了起来。 The Eric traveling schedule has not informed too many people, goes out of the airport, picking is also several service cars that Firefly Pictures sends. Eric also discovered that Jeffrey stands by a business automobile smilingly. 艾瑞克的行程并没有通知太多人,走出机场,接机的也是萤火虫影业派来的几辆公务车。艾瑞克还发现杰弗里笑盈盈地站在一辆商务车旁。 Jeffrey, how did you come personally?” Some Eric accidents moved forward to meet somebody, hugged with Jeffrey under. 杰弗里,你怎么亲自过来了?”艾瑞克有些意外地迎了上去,与杰弗里拥抱了下。 In the afternoon is just all right, I heard that you come back today, personally came,” Jeffrey answered. “下午刚好没事,我听说你今天回来,就亲自过来了,”杰弗里解释道。 Eric made several follow him to transfer a bodyguard to act on free will on Earth, sent Alan, together boarded a car(riage) with Jeffrey. 艾瑞克让几位跟随他在地球上转了一圈的保镖自由行动,又打发走了艾伦,才与杰弗里一起上了一辆车。 What matter has?” After waiting for car to start, Eric asked Jeffrey. “是不是有什么事情?”等汽车发动之后,艾瑞克才问身旁的杰弗里 Jeffrey shook the head with a smile: Among us was so unfamiliar?” 杰弗里笑着摇了摇头:“难道我们之间已经这么生疏了吗?” Eric has gawked, immediately shakes the head. Said: Naturally is not, I am only some accidents.” 艾瑞克愣了下,随即摇头。道:“当然不是,我只是有些意外罢了。” I today truly am nothing, therefore personally will come,” Jeffrey explained again: „. A minor matter, I went to New York last week, saw two kids.” “我今天确实是没什么事情,所以才会亲自过来的,”杰弗里再一次解释道:“不过。还有一件小事,我上个星期去纽约,见到两个小家伙了。” Oh?” Eric shows the doubts expression. ?”艾瑞克露出疑惑地表情。 Kevin and Xiaxia are very adorable,” Jeffrey said one, some embarrassed apertures seem to be ordinary, asked: Eric. Emily continuously contact with Joan and Vicky is very frequent, you are also quite more than my this father and Chris contact, I want to make you help me ask when their two do marry?” 凯文夏夏都很可爱,”杰弗里说了一句,又似乎有些不好意思开口一般,问道:“艾瑞克艾米丽一直与维姬接触很频繁,你也比我这个父亲与克里斯的接触比较多,我就是想让你帮我问问,他们两个到底什么时候结婚?” It seems like cared the wedding that children was the world parents' consistent common failing, Eric has laughed in one's heart at heart, said: They did not say that planned the 30 year marries again?” 看来关心子女的婚事是全世界父母一致的通病,艾瑞克心里暗笑了下,道:“他们不是说,打算三十岁再结婚的吗?” „The 30 year......” Jeffrey curled the lip: You said that Chris now is big?” 三十岁……”杰弗里撇了撇嘴:“那你说,克里斯现在多大了?” Eric has gawked, he remembers first time sees Chris time, his is 26 years old, three years pass by now...... 艾瑞克愣了下,他记得第一次见到克里斯的时候,他26岁,现在三年过去…… 29 years old?” “29岁?” Jeffrey nodded worriedly: Moreover, I know from Emily father there, actually Emily compared with Chris greatly one year old.” 杰弗里苦恼地点了点头:“而且,我从艾米丽父亲那里知道,其实艾米丽克里斯大一岁。” Eric cannot bear show worried look, lets go saying: Jeffrey, this matter, I do not have the means to help you, but also needs your this to be the father talks incessantly personally is good, you know, usually is the children most feared the parents have talked incessantly, you said several times, perhaps couldn't they bear marry?” 艾瑞克也忍不住露出苦恼的神色,摊手说道:“杰弗里,这件事,我没办法帮你啊,还需要你这个做父亲的亲自唠叨才行,你知道,通常做儿女的最怕父母唠叨了,你多说几次,说不定他们就忍不住结婚了呢?” „Is this method accepted?” Jeffrey inquired about that asked. “这种方法行得通吗?”杰弗里探寻地问道。 Eric thought that Chris and Emily is a that will firm kind of person, this way estimate function is not big, but he cannot think of any appropriate method: I can only think of this.” 艾瑞克心想克里斯艾米丽都是那种意志坚定的一类人,这种方式估计作用不大,但他也想不到什么合适的方法:“我只能想到这个了。” I try......” Jeffrey to sigh, has not continued to discuss that again this matter, asked: With that matter of Europe Film Studio cooperation, I knew. However, you did not think us, so long as percent 30 stocks somewhat lowered, at your present sale price, but held the post of Producer enough to take away movie percent 30 advantage moistened?” “那我试试……”杰弗里叹了口气,没有再继续谈这件事,才问道:“与欧洲电影公司合作的那件事,我已经知道了。不过,你不觉得我们只要百分之三十的股份有些低了吗,以你现在的身价,只是担任制作人的话都已经足够拿走一部影片百分之三十的利润了?” I thought that this matter such does not calculate simply, Jeffrey, you think, what Metro Goldwyn Mayer currently also does have?” “我觉得这件事并不是简单地这么算的,杰弗里,你想想,米高梅现在还有什么?” The Jeffrey doubts said: 007?” 杰弗里疑惑道:“007?” Eric said with a smile: Yes, Metro Goldwyn Mayer can take the chip that gets rid on remaining 007 this now, naturally, I refer to is not this, I meant that Metro Goldwyn Mayer did not have including the square now, sold out by Kirk Kerkorian that old fogy completely even changed to the Metro Goldwyn Mayer hotel, therefore, although recently established DreamWorks Film Studio can start the cooperation with Metro Goldwyn Mayer, but manufacture, DreamWorks must rely on the Firefly resources.” 艾瑞克笑道:“是啊,米高梅现在就剩下007这个可以拿得出手的筹码了,当然,我指的不是这个,我是说,米高梅现在连片场都没有了,全部都被科克.科克里安那个老家伙卖掉甚至改成了米高梅酒店,因此,虽然新成立的梦工厂电影公司会与米高梅展开合作,但制作方面,梦工厂还是要依赖萤火虫的资源的。” Jeffrey somewhat transparent nods, he knows that Eric is the budget that the Production Studio ten movies make is eight hundred million USD, by Hollywood on average the production cost of each movie, ten movies wants to spend eight hundred million USD now is not that easy matter. But the photographic base as well as the special effect company of Firefly Pictures will definitely continue the majority of manufacture work, in this case, even if not use any approaches the operation, Firefly Pictures can also make very big sum of money in the producuction process. 杰弗里有些明了地点点头,他知道艾瑞克制作公司十部影片开出的预算是八亿美元,以好莱坞现在平均每部电影的制作成本来说,十部影片想要花出八亿美元可不是那么容易的事情。而萤火虫影业旗下的摄影基地以及特效公司肯定会承接大部分制作工作,这样的话,即使不采用任何擦边操作,萤火虫影业在制作过程中也可以赚上很大一笔钱。 Said that Stan Winston has been selected the place of digital domain new work room, plans to be located in Florida, that side has given three years of tax-free condition, the new subsidiary company plan constructs one about 20,000 square meters work room in the Florida capital,” Jeffrey also mentioned the matter in Firefly aspect quickly. “说起来,斯坦.温斯顿已经挑中了数字领域新工作室的地点,打算设在佛罗里达州,那边给出了三年时间的免税条件,新的分公司打算在佛罗里达州首府建造一个20000平米左右的工作室,”杰弗里很快又说起了萤火虫方面的事情。 Although Eric has been paying attention to the services in various Firefly Pictures aspects, but is impossible all affairs big or small to know that in addition he has given the digital domain full autonomy, therefore for the first time hears this news, but, Eric does not have what opinion, three years of tax-free measure, regarding the digital domain is also a good condition, trades to make Eric, will comply, although the development trend in special effect company develops toward the overseas area, but now, the special effect profession profit margin of North America native place is as before rich, the special effect company is in the aristocrat time, even if after the Firefly software company was established, more and more special effect. The work room establishes, cannot change this point temporarily. 艾瑞克虽然一直关注着萤火虫影业各方面的业务,但也不可能事无巨细地都能够知道,再加上他给了数字领域充分的自主权,因此还是首次听到这条消息,不过,艾瑞克也没有什么意见,三年时间的免税措施,对于数字领域来说也是一个不错的条件,换做艾瑞克,也会答应下来,虽然特效公司的发展趋势是朝海外地区发展,但现在,北美本土的特效行业利润率依旧非常丰厚,特效公司更是处于贵族时代,哪怕萤火虫软件公司成立之后,越来越多的特效。工作室成立,也暂时不能改变这一点。 This is also good, after the Firefly software was established, the Los Angeles special effect company will be definitely getting more and more, is located in Florida the subsidiary company is also a good choice,” Eric nods, smiled, said: Perhaps several years later the time, we must be located in the overseas the subsidiary company.” “这样也行,萤火虫软件成立之后,洛杉矶的特效公司肯定会越来越多,将分公司设在佛罗里达州也是一个不错的选择,”艾瑞克点头,又笑了笑,说道:“或许再过几年时间,我们就得把分公司设在国外了。” Should this necessity,” the Jeffrey doubts not say. “应该没这个必要吧,”杰弗里疑惑道。 Who knows that” Eric let go, his naturally impossible present to explain certain matters like Jeffrey.( To be continued.)( To be continued.) “谁知道呢,”艾瑞克摊了摊手,他当然不可能现在就像杰弗里解释某些事情。(未完待续。)(未完待续。)
