Because of the reason of Eric urging, short one week, that side Los Angeles spread the good news specially, the Firefly TV series department to take «ER» smoothly. 因为艾瑞克特意叮嘱的缘故,短短一个星期时间,洛杉矶那边就传来了好消息,萤火虫电视剧部门顺利拿下了《急诊室的故事》。 In the memory, «ER» disclosed when a series of level and trivial medical practice scene that pulls to absorb the will of the people the power to make the Eric impression very profound, he also clear remembering initially first time saw this beautiful play feeling, originally Eric regarding this medical play not any interest, but after a volume, Eric firmly was then attracted the attention by this story, afterward once started , it can hardly stop to read the majority of anthology, Eric also had found afterward similarly popular «Grey's Anatomy», that thick palace that but the 《Grey's Anatomy》 first volume released. Fights the shoddy imitations of some tastes as well as details to «ER» enables Eric only to sigh that this is any ghost. 记忆中,《急诊室的故事》在一系列平实而琐碎的医疗工作镜头中所透露出来的那种牵摄人心的感染力让艾瑞克印象非常深刻,他还清晰的记得当初第一次看到这部美剧时的感受,原本艾瑞克对于这种医疗剧没有任何兴趣,但一集过后,艾瑞克便被这个故事牢牢吸引住了注意力,随后一发不可收拾地看完了大部分剧集,随后艾瑞克还找到了同样热门的《实习医生格蕾》,但《格蕾》第一集就释放出的那种浓浓的宫。斗味以及一些细节对《急诊室的故事》的拙劣模仿让艾瑞克只能感叹这是什么鬼。 Naturally, at that time the reason of Eric age will possibly have such difference, «ER» a series of leads were the 30-40 years old adults, was on the other hand easier to let cross Eric of 30 year-old to produce the resonance at that time, but the «Grey» lead was actually one crowd just went out of the intern of medical school, object-oriented was also the young people community. 当然,也可能是当时艾瑞克年龄的缘故才会产生这样的差异,《急诊室的故事》一系列主角都是三四十岁的成年人,相对来说更容易让那个时候已经过了而立之年的艾瑞克产生共鸣,而《格雷》的主角却是一群刚刚走出医学院的实习生,面向对象也是青年人群体。 Because of the difference in habits and customs and time zone, North America four big public TV Network, although covers very comprehensively, but daytime time, usually will act according to the different local arrangement different television programs, distributes in child TV Station of North America major cities is so. 因为生活习惯和时区的差异,北美四大公共电视网虽然覆盖非常全面,但白天的时候,通常都会根据不同地区安排不同的电视节目,分布在北美各大城市的子电视台更是如此。 Four big TV Station main viewing ratio competition time intervals are each time zone 7 : 00 pm to three hours of prime time that ten hit the mark, sometimes in these three hours, long respectively are 22 minutes of comedy class programs, sometimes other long 43 minutes of plot class TV series programs as well as type Reality TV Show mutually mix to broadcast. 四大电视台主要的收视率竞争时段便是各个时区晚间七点到十点中的三个小时黄金时段,这三个小时里,时长分别为22分钟的喜剧类节目、时长43分钟的剧情类电视剧节目以及其他类型的真人秀节目相互混合播出。 Under normal conditions, so long as public TV Station has 12 grades of high viewing ratio programs to attract the audience, that because of the reception inertia reason, can guarantee that TV Station basic reception crowd, this is also the 90's NBC TV Station continuously leads several other big TV Station entire ten years of reasons by 《Friends》, but after 《Friends》, because the high viewing ratio program temporary shortage, NBC also rapidly fell behind other TV Network. Finally the NBC major stockholder has to comply with the media group conformity the general trend, merges NBC and Universal Pictures. 通常情况下,一个公共电视台只要有12档高收视率节目吸引观众,那么因为收视惯性的缘故,就可以保证电视台的基本收视人群,这也是九十年代nbc电视台凭借一部《老友记》就连续领先其他几大电视台整整十年的原因,而《老友记》之后,因为高收视率节目青黄不接,nbc也迅速落在了其他电视网后面。最终nbc的大股东不得不顺应传媒集团整合的大趋势,将nbc与环球影业进行合并。 Although covers entire North America also to have the management of more than 200 child TV Network is not that easy matter, but will bring back the 《Friends》 broadcast power next year, has «ER». Develops several grades of good Reality TV Show again, simultaneously with Firefly Pictures rich film and television content resources coordination, so long as the TV Network operator is not an idiot, although is insufficient to cast off several other big TV Station by far, but is in the leading position absolutely not to have the issue. Will not present in the original space and time ABC TV Station becomes the situation that the Disney group implicates. 虽然一个覆盖整个北美并且拥有200多个子电视网的经营并不是那么容易的事情,但明年拿回《老友记》播放权,拥有《急诊室的故事》。再开发几档不错的真人秀节目,同时在萤火虫影业丰富的影视内容资源配合下,只要电视网的经营者不是蠢货,虽不至于将其他几大电视台远远甩开,但占据领先地位绝对没有问题。更加不会出现原时空中abc电视台成为迪斯尼集团拖累的情形。 At the end of September after «Jurassic Park» Box Office breaks the record stimulation media stock rises largely, because Viacom has completed to the annexation of Blockbuster chain store, the two buyers of Paramount communication quickened the purchase step as if by prior agreement largely, some time of early October, almost can sees the related news every day in newspaper and TV news. 九月底《侏罗纪公园》票房打破纪录刺激传媒股大幅上扬之后,又因为维亚康姆完成了对百视达连锁店的吞并,派拉蒙通讯的两个竞购者不约而同地大幅加快了收购步伐,十月初的一段时间,几乎每天都可以在报纸和电视新闻节目中看到相关消息。 However, afterward a occurrence of matter, completely broke the both sides evenly matched state of equilibrium. 不过,随后一件事情的发生,彻底打破了双方势均力敌的平衡状态。 A QVC major stockholder Paramount communication buyers besides Barry Diller, Comcast and telematics two communication equipment operators' support, but on October 11, at &\; t( United States telephoned telegram company) suddenly announced the merger and acquisition to telematics company. Major stockholder and Chairman John Malone of telematics is the Barry Diller biggest supporter. But Comcast regarding purchasing the Paramount communication is not too warm-hearted, this sudden merger and acquisition case, means that behind Barry Diller the biggest support vanished. 派拉蒙通讯的竞购者之一qvc大股东除了巴里.迪勒之外,还有康卡斯特和远程通讯两家通讯设备运营商的支持,但十月11日,at&\;t（美国电话电报公司）突然宣布了对远程通讯公司的并购。远程通讯的大股东兼董事长约翰.马龙本来是巴里.迪勒的最大支持者。而康卡斯特对于收购派拉蒙通讯一直都不是太热心,这场突如其来的并购案,意味着巴里.迪勒背后最大的支持消失了。 Did not have the financial support of telematics, Barry Diller to be defeated rapidly with the competition of Redstone. 没有了远程通讯的资金支持,巴里.迪勒在与雷石东的竞争中迅速败阵下来。 On October 23, experiences has been final bidding of one week of time, Viacom Chairman Redstone and Paramount communication Chairman Martin Davis in Los Angeles Hollywood Paramount Headquarters, formally announced that Viacom acquired the Paramount communication group at 11 billion USD sky-high prices. 十月23日,经历了长达一周时间的最后竞标,维亚康姆的董事长雷石东与派拉蒙通讯主丨席马丁.戴维斯在洛杉矶好莱坞的派拉蒙总部,正式宣布维亚康姆以110亿美元的天价收购派拉蒙通讯集团。 In the Eric eye, although Paramount communication besides Paramount Pictures, several TV Station and music company as well as Publishing House, but the value is not higher than Disney many. Redstone takes this company by the unprecedented fool stance. Except for proving own 70 years old of also treasured sword not old beside, cannot gain too many advantage. 在艾瑞克眼里,虽然派拉蒙通讯旗下除了派拉蒙影业外,还有几家电视台、音乐公司以及一家出版社,但价值并不比迪斯尼高多少。雷石东以一往无前的冤大头姿态拿下这家公司。除了证明自己70岁还宝刀未老之外,并不能获得太多的好处。 Naturally, this is not the matter of Eric care, after all. Although many detail Eric are not quite clear, but this bid result Eric actually early just knows, therefore he pays attention is another person, Barry Diller. 当然,这并不是艾瑞克关心的事情,毕竟。虽然很多细节艾瑞克不太清楚,但这场竞购的结局艾瑞克却早就知道了,所以他关注的一直都是另外一个人,巴里.迪勒。 In the bedroom in Eath Hampton villa, Eric is hugging a kid, looks that packs the baggage for oneself peacefully Joanna. Said: „New York was getting more and more cold, or returns to Los Angeles with me together?” 东汉普顿别墅的卧室里,艾瑞克一手抱着一个小家伙,看着安静为自己收拾行李的乔安娜。道:“纽约越来越冷了,要不跟我一起回洛杉矶吧？” Joanna folds to force in the suitcase Eric trousers carefully, said in a soft voice: „Vicky has not come back, moreover I do not want to go to Los Angeles.” 乔安娜将艾瑞克的一条长裤仔细叠好塞进行李箱里,轻声道:“维姬还没有回来呢,而且我也不想去洛杉矶。” Eric like demanding Joanna these slightly insisted that said: „That Thanksgiving time I come to cross with you together.” 艾瑞克并不像强求乔安娜这些小坚持,道:“那感恩节的时候我过来和你们一起过。” „Good,” on the Joanna face has hung up the gentle smiling face, immediately also said: „Your last year time came, that side...... Can they be discontented?” “好啊,”乔安娜脸上挂起了温柔的笑容,随即又说道:“你去年的时候就过来了,那边……她们会不会不满？” „, They will not have married, majority of must go home to cross Thanksgiving with the family member together,” Eric shook the head, has remembered small girl, said: „That, I meant that you minded Drew comes together, she and can her parents' relations poor?” “不会的,她们又没有结婚,大部分都要回家和家人一起过感恩节的,”艾瑞克摇了摇头,又想起了小妮子,道:“那个,我是说,你介意德鲁一起来吗,她和她父母的关系可不怎么好？” „Has not related, leading her to come together.” “没关系啊,带她一起来好了。” Although does not like the small girl disagreeable disposition at heart, but in front of Joanna again Eric will actually not display, or since the acquaintance, Eric little has felt any negative mood from Joanna, perhaps this is also Eric subconsciously likes staying in this woman reason. 虽然心里不太喜欢小妮子的乖戾性格,但乔安娜却不会再艾瑞克面前表现出来,或者说,自从相识以来,艾瑞克一直都很少从乔安娜身上感受到什么负面情绪,或许这也是艾瑞克下意识就更喜欢呆在这个女人身边的缘故。 Tidied up to give nearby maid the Eric baggage personally, Joanna received Hawaii from the Eric bosom: „Now, do not delay are too late.” 亲自将艾瑞克的行李收拾好交给旁边的女佣,乔安娜才从艾瑞克怀里接过夏威夷:“你现在就出发吧,不要耽误太晚了。” „Has not related,” Eric has rubbed the bosom son chubby small face: „Is the airplane of company, my this Boss has the authority to make them wait a while.” “没关系的,”艾瑞克蹭了蹭怀里儿子胖乎乎地小脸:“是公司的飞机,我这个老板还是有权力让他们等一会儿的。” ...... …… Arrives at Los Angeles time is west the time at noon on October 24 12 : 00 pm, Eric has alit from the airplane, without contacting with other people, goes by car toward approximately good Sunset Boulevard hotel goes, Barry Diller was waiting for itself in the hotel. 到达洛杉矶的时候已经是西部时间10月24日中午12点,艾瑞克下了飞机,没有联系其他人,就坐车朝约好的日落大道酒店而去,巴里.迪勒已经在酒店里等着自己。 Although every day can see Barry Diller when television these days, but sees me at this time. The disappointment that Eric can feel on Barry Diller to send out that is hard to conceal. 虽然这段时间每天都能够在电视上见到巴里.迪勒,但此时看到本人时。艾瑞克还是能够感受到巴里.迪勒身上散发的那种难以掩饰的失望。 They are away from the hotel room gate to stand, has greeted with Barry Diller, Eric looks at front this just 50 years old already the middle-aged person of baldheaded and white hair, said: „Barry. You definitely have not had the lunch, or do we go to the dining room?” 两人隔着酒店房间门而站,与巴里.迪勒打过招呼,艾瑞克看着面前这个刚刚50岁就已经秃顶兼白发的中年人,道:“巴里。你肯定没有吃午餐吧,要不我们去餐厅？” „Good, I wear the coat,” Barry Diller turned around to enter the room, a quick wear black coat walked. “好吧,我去穿上外套,”巴里.迪勒转身走进了房间,很快穿着一件黑色外套走了出来。 They get to the elevator entrance together. Eric presses down the key, glanced expression as if as before somewhat absent-minded Barry Diller, comforts saying: „I thought that you are completely disappointed, believe me, if you take Paramount by 110 USD, that is a disaster.” 两人一起走到电梯门口。艾瑞克按下按键,瞟了眼神情似乎依旧有些恍惚的巴里.迪勒,安慰道:“我觉得你完全没有必要失望,相信我,如果你以110美元拿下派拉蒙,那才是一场灾难。” „Lost lost, Eric, I was not that type do not dare to face the person of failure, was only...... Good, has bustled about for one year. Discovered suddenly own all work have done without charge, you should be able to realize that this feeling,” Barry Diller realized suddenly, Eric this Chenggong Road mark may be called the strange young people have not experienced this failure, self-ridicules smiled, said: „Disappointed always unavoidable, after a period of time.” “输了就是输了,艾瑞克,我可不是那种不敢面对失败的人,只是……好吧,忙碌了一年。突然之间发现自己所有工作都白做了,你应该能够体会到这种感受,”巴里.迪勒突然意识到,艾瑞克这个成功路迹堪称诡异的年轻人还没有经历过这种失败,自嘲地笑了笑,道:“失望总是难免的,过段时间就会好了。” They arrive at the dining room in hotel together, at this time dining time, but the person who can Sunset Boulevard this luxury hotel move in again is also not the unsuccessful generation, saw that Eric and Barry Diller they appear together. Cannot help but talked in whispers, but also some people came to greet on own initiative. 两人一起走到酒店的餐厅,此时正是用餐时间,而能够再日落大道这家豪华酒店入住的人也都不是碌碌无为之辈,看到艾瑞克和巴里.迪勒两人一起出现。都不由自主地窃窃私语起来,还有人主动过来打招呼。 Dealt with several faces to be ripe the person, but could not name the character, Eric and Barry Diller chose a position by the window to sit. 应付了几个脸熟但叫不出名字的人,艾瑞克和巴里.迪勒挑选了一个靠窗的位置坐了下来。 „Barry, what do you want to eat?” Eric received menu from the attendant hand: „I treat. You must know that I little asked the person to eat meal.” “巴里,你要吃什么？”艾瑞克从侍应生手中接过菜单:“我请客。你要知道,我可是很少请人吃饭的。” Barry Diller smiled, the optional point Italy surface, has given back to the attendant the menu. 巴里.迪勒笑了笑,随意点了一份意大利面,就将菜单还给了侍应生。 Eric has not forced, oneself have selected Italy surface similarly, wanted one bottle of being eaten with red wines. 艾瑞克也没有勉强,自己同样点了一份意大利面,又要了一瓶佐餐红酒。 After waiting for the attendant immediately. Eric said: „Barry, I just had not comforted you, when Paramount in my opinion, most only value Firefly purchase the Disney Film Industry price, I can make a bet with you, in less than five years, Redstone will definitely regret.” 等侍应生立刻之后。艾瑞克道:“巴里,我刚刚并没有安慰你,派拉蒙在我看来,最多只值萤火虫收购迪斯尼影业时的价格,我可以跟你打个赌,用不了五年,雷石东肯定就会后悔的。” Eric remembers the Redstone disposition, said with a smile: „Naturally, Redstone definitely regretting this mood hangs on the face.” 艾瑞克想起雷石东的性格,又笑道:“当然,雷石东肯定是不会将后悔这种情绪挂在脸上的。” „This is different, Eric,” Barry Diller shook the head, said: „Like your Firefly, I thinks that Firefly in you, the value certainly be higher, I who anybody imagines am also same, although Paramount CEO is not my first work, but I felt that is actually my enterprise true start place, before this in William Morris and ABC TV Station can only be an experience. If I have 11 billion USD now, I definitely without hesitation will snatch from Redstone there Paramount, what a pity, I do not have.” “这不一样,艾瑞克,”巴里.迪勒摇了摇头,道:“就像你的萤火虫,我想萤火虫在你心里,价值肯定要比任何人想象的都要高,我也一样,虽然派拉蒙ceo并不是我的第一份工作,但我感觉那却是我事业真正起步的地方,此前在威廉.莫里斯和abc电视台只能算是一种历练。如果我现在拥有110亿美元的话,我肯定会毫不犹豫将派拉蒙从雷石东那里抢过来,可惜,我没有。” They were chatting at will, the lunch was carried quickly, flew for several hours in the space, Eric has only drunk one bottle of water, at this time has been big and hungry, therefore took up the tableware to eat gratefully. 两人随意聊着,午餐很快被端了上来,在天上飞了几个小时,艾瑞克只喝了一瓶水,此时已经饥肠辘辘,于是拿起餐具毫不客气地吃了起来。 When Barry Diller as if found were young the aura from the Eric movement, the mood relaxed, has taken up the tableware. Two people both are not that type eat meal person leisurely, solved front lunch like a whirlwind that sweeps away scattered clouds, Barry Diller has drunk red wine, said: „Eric, although eats meal like this very carefree, but I suggested after you, eats meal as far as possible slowly, must know, when I am young with you, finally was almost tossed about many years by the gastric disease.” 巴里.迪勒似乎从艾瑞克动作里找到了一丝自己年轻时的气息,心情放松了一些,也拿起了餐具。两个人都不是那种吃饭慢条斯理的人,风卷残云地解决到面前的午餐,巴里.迪勒喝了一口红酒,道:“艾瑞克,虽然这样吃饭非常畅快,不过我还是建议你以后尽量吃饭慢一点,要知道,我年轻时和你差不多,结果被胃病折腾了好多年了。” Eric nods with a smile, carries nearby red wine to hint toward Barry Diller, they drank some red wines, Eric finally on own initiative have opened the mouth saying: „Barry, what to do then do you plan?” 艾瑞克笑着点点头,端起旁边的红酒朝巴里.迪勒示意了下,两人又喝了一些红酒,艾瑞克才终于主动开口道:“巴里,接下来你打算怎么办？” Barry Diller looked on out of the window street the bustling stream of vehicles crowd, remembers on the lunar New Year's Day section time media to be far away from the appraisal of Hollywood regarding him, suddenly is somewhat confused. 巴里.迪勒看了看窗外街道上熙熙攘攘的车流人群,想起年初一段时间媒体上对于他已经远离好莱坞的评价,突然有些迷茫。 Although because of managing QVC this shopping TV Station, but left the Hollywood circle short, but Barry Diller had not given at heart actually up re-entering the Hollywood thought. Just, originally smugly takeover plan, because a series of accidents fail when success seemed within reach, Barry Diller also finally realized that he wants to re-enter Hollywood, as if as before was not that easy matter. 虽然因为经营qvc这家购物电视台而短暂地离开了好莱坞圈子,但巴里.迪勒心里却一直都没有放弃重回好莱坞念头。只不过,原本踌躇满志地收购计划因为一系列变故功败垂成,巴里.迪勒也终于意识到,自己想要重回好莱坞,似乎依旧不是那么容易的事情了。 However, this once scolded the zha temporary Hollywood big shot, Barry Diller also has own pride, he can see the Eric intention from Firefly Pictures these days layout very much easily, but, since initially had decided no longer to be an employee, Barry Diller this mental firm person such easily will certainly not renege on a promise. 不过,这位曾经叱咤一时的好莱坞大亨,巴里.迪勒也有着自己的骄傲,他能够很轻易地从萤火虫影业这段时间的布局看出艾瑞克的意图,只不过,既然当初已经决定不再做一个雇员,巴里.迪勒这种心智坚定的人当然不会这么轻易出尔反尔。 „Eric, I withdraw in the Fox TV Network news to discover Jeffrey from Firefly Pictures as if in the leading role, if I guess right, perhaps next year or will be later, will you make him take over the Michael Lynn position?” “艾瑞克,我从萤火虫影业撤出福克斯电视网的新闻里发现杰弗瑞似乎在起着主导作用,如果我猜的没错的话,或许明年或者再晚一些,你就会让他来接任迈克尔.林恩的位置了吧？” This point does not have anything to be good to conceal, Eric nods, indicated to acknowledge. 这一点也没什么好隐瞒地,艾瑞克点点头,表示承认。 Barry Diller then slightly shrugs, in expression is bringing once more some, but with self-ridiculing: „You must know that in the ABC time or the Paramount time, Jeffrey is my assistant, you thought that such words, can I also go back?” 巴里.迪勒这才轻微地耸耸肩,表情里再次带着一些无奈和自嘲:“那你要知道,无论是在abc时期还是派拉蒙时期,杰弗瑞一直都是我的副手,你觉得这样的话,我还能够回去吗？” „Barry, I plan to purchase TV Network, you know that my meaning, I want to make you govern this TV Network.” “巴里,我打算收购一家电视网,你知道我的意思,我想让你掌管这家电视网。” „But you will not make TV Network maintain the absolute nature single-handedly, this TV Network must belong to controlling of Firefly Headquarters as before, right?” “但你不会让电视网保持绝对的独力性,这家电视网依旧要归属萤火虫总部的辖制,对吧？” Eric nods, if after purchasing TV Network, both sides as before maintain the respective service single-handedly, then with not having the purchase also has anything to distinguish. Eric purchases the TV Network main purpose is to maximum limit use the TV Network channel to display the maximum benefit of Firefly film and television resources. 艾瑞克点点头,如果收购电视网之后,双方依旧保持各自的业务独力,那跟没有收购还有什么区别。艾瑞克收购电视网的主要目的就是为了最大限度地利用电视网的渠道发挥萤火虫影视资源的利益最大化。 „Barry, although TV Network cannot maintain absolute single-handedly, but I can promise you that Jeffrey will not meddle the supervisory work of TV Network excessively, I excessively will not interfere, you know that this aspect my prestige has been good.” “巴里,虽然电视网不能保持绝对的独力,但我可以向你保证,杰弗瑞不会过度插手电视网的管理工作,就连我个人都不会过度干涉,你知道,这方面我个人的信誉一直非常不错的。” Barry Diller shakes the head as before, said: „Eric, invalid, you should know the Jeffrey disposition, if I join Firefly, exchange on this seat can let me and Jeffrey felt that is uncomfortable.”( To be continued.) 巴里.迪勒依旧摇头,道:“艾瑞克,行不通的,你应该知道杰弗瑞的性格,我如果加入萤火虫,这种位子上的对调会让我和杰弗瑞都感觉非常不舒服。”(未完待续。)
