The Barry Diller expression is very light, but Eric realized that this topic will discuss to be doomed not to have any result again. 巴里.迪勒的语气很平淡,但艾瑞克意识到,这个话题再谈下去已经注定不会再有什么结果。 Although the Eric feeling is somewhat regrettable, but more was actually a pity that by the Barry Diller ability, manages QVC this scale is less than 1 billion USD infomercial company absolutely is unable give full play to his ability, let alone Eric is very clearer, soon, along with the emergence of electronic commerce, the infomercial way will get rid quickly. 虽然艾瑞克感觉有些遗憾,但更多的却是可惜,以巴里.迪勒的才能,经营qv这家规模不到10亿美元的电视购物公司绝对无法充分发挥他的才能,更何况艾瑞克很清楚,用不了几年,随着电子商务的出现,电视购物方式将很快被抛弃。 Barry Diller let go this opportunity, then wants to return to Hollywood again, the hope is uncertain. 巴里.迪勒放弃了这次机会,那么再想要重新返回好莱坞,希望可谓渺茫。 The goal has not been achieved, Eric does not have anxiously departure, they were chatting other matters at will, until afternoon three o'clock time, the mobile phone that Eric carried along has rung. 目的没有达到,艾瑞克也没有急着离开,两人随意聊着一些其他事情,直到下午三点钟的时候,艾瑞克随身携带的移动电话才响了起来。 After the connection, Eric listened to opposite to say some words, then quickly made the telephone call. 接通之后,艾瑞克听着对面说了一些话,便很快挂掉了电话。 Eric answers the telephone time has not been evading Barry Diller, therefore, after he hangs the power failure words, Barry Diller said: „Jeffrey hits?” 艾瑞克接电话的时候并没有避着巴里.迪勒,因此,他挂掉电话之后,巴里.迪勒就说道:“杰弗瑞打来的吧？” Eric nods with a smile, Barry Diller was paid attention these days massively, although the Paramount purchase case settles down, but Barry Diller attention immediately has not actually vanished. They meet with for several hours the time, the news passed to that side many people. 艾瑞克笑着点点头,巴里.迪勒这段时间受到了大量关注,虽然派拉蒙收购案尘埃落定,但巴里.迪勒身上的关注度却并没有立刻消失。两人会面短短几个小时时间,消息就已经传到了很多人那边。 Although both sides know that Jeffrey Katzenberg telephones definitely is probes Eric to contact the Barry Diller intention, but Eric explained: „Jeffrey said that the movie of company just completed has cut finally, asked that I do want to watch Large expanse of?” 虽然双方都知道杰弗瑞.卡森伯格打电话过来肯定是试探艾瑞克接触巴里.迪勒的意图,但艾瑞克还是解释道:“杰弗瑞说公司的一部电影刚刚完成了终剪,问我要不要看一下成片？” „You go to Burbank, the rest of the time just suffice to watch a movie.” Barry Diller said with a smile that immediately added one: „The Jeffrey disposition somewhat is irritable, is similar to Michael, this point disposition very gentle Frank Wells just can form supplementarily with him. You must know that Michael wields Disney's that several years, Frank is Michael and buffer between Disney administrative personnel. Whenever after these administrative personnel were obloquied by Michael, Frank will act to comfort the mood of these people. I too did not know about Mr. Hansson. If makes Jeffrey hold the post of CEO, I suggested that you should better make Frank continue to be the Jeffrey assistant.” “那你去伯班克吧,剩下的时间刚好够看完一部影片。”巴里.迪勒笑着说道,随即又加了一句:“杰弗瑞的性格还是有些急躁,和迈克尔差不多,这一点性格非常平和的弗兰克.威尔斯刚好能够与他形成互补。你要知道,迈克尔执掌迪斯尼的那几年,弗兰克一直都是迈克尔与迪斯尼管理人员之间的缓冲剂。每当那些管理人员被迈克尔大骂一顿之后,弗兰克就会出面安抚那些人的情绪。我对汉森先生不太了解。所以如果让杰弗瑞担任eo的话,我建议你最好让弗兰克继续做杰弗瑞的副手。” Eric gets up to wear the coat, put out a hand to grasp with Barry Diller: „Suggestion thank you, Barry, I will give careful consideration to this matter.” 艾瑞克起身穿好外套,伸手与巴里.迪勒握了一下:“谢谢你的建议,巴里,我会慎重考虑这件事的。” Barry Diller delivers Eric to leave the hotel personally, they just went out of the hotel front door, had been encircled by reporter of one crowd of coming, inquired intention that two people meet with. 巴里.迪勒亲自送艾瑞克离开酒店,两人刚刚走出酒店大门,就被一群闻讯而来的记者围了过来,纷纷询问两个人会面的意图。 Since Barry Diller has not complied with own invitation. Eric does not plan to cause complications, anything had not said that sneaked in own private car under the guard of bodyguard. 既然巴里.迪勒没有答应自己的邀请。艾瑞克也不打算节外生枝,什么也没有说,就在保镖的护卫下钻进了自己的座驾。 Arrives at Firefly Headquarters, Eric discovered that Katzenberg leads one line to wait for itself in the hall personally. In the telephone, the excuse of Katzenberg is invites Eric to watch «Interview with the Vampire» Large expanse, at this time, «Interview with the Vampire» Director Neil Jordan and original author Anne Rice as well as Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst , etc. acted the leading role appears here, in addition also has the cooperation to develop this movie David Geffen Production Studio David Geffen. 来到萤火虫总部,艾瑞克发现卡森伯格亲自带着一行人在大厅里等着自己。在电话里,卡森伯格的借口是邀请艾瑞克过来观看《夜访吸血鬼》的成片,此时,《夜访吸血鬼》的导演尼尔.乔丹、原创作者安妮.莱斯以及汤姆.克鲁斯、克尔斯滕.邓斯特等主演都出现在了这里,此外还有合作开发这部影片的大卫格芬制作公司的大卫.格芬。 11 have greeted with the people, although Katzenberg conceals is very good, Eric can see in his expression the hidden doubts and inquired about. 与众人11打过招呼,虽然卡森伯格掩饰的很好,艾瑞克还是能够看得出他表情中暗藏的疑惑和探寻。 After exchanged greetings simply. The group walk in the middle toward the elevator the Eric crowding around, because the population are too many, the people have been divided into two groups very much on own initiative. Has given Eric, Katzenberg and David Geffen three people an elevator. 简单地寒暄过后。一行人将艾瑞克簇拥在中间朝电梯走去,因为人数太多,众人很自觉地分成了两拨。将一部电梯让给了艾瑞克、卡森伯格和大卫.格芬三人。 Entered the elevator, Eric and David Geffen chatted several, inquired why Katzenberg has not seen Michael Lynn and the others. 走进电梯,艾瑞克与大卫.格芬聊了几句,才询问卡森伯格为什么没有看到迈克尔.林恩等人。 „They in Playa Vista,” Katzenberg replied one, said calmly: „Eric, how do you come back today suddenly?” “他们都在普拉亚维斯塔,”卡森伯格回答了一句,又若无其事道:“艾瑞克,你今天怎么突然回来了？” Eric explained: „I and Barry are good friends, he cannot snatch Paramount from the Redstone hand, I ahead of time came back to comfort him.” 艾瑞克解释道:“我和巴里是好朋友,他没能从雷石东手中抢过派拉蒙,我就提前回来安慰一下他了。” Katzenberg nods, the whole person as if relaxed. As the Barry Diller former subordinate, after Barry Diller purchases Paramount to be defeated. Katzenberg also calls to send regards. But he actually does not believe that Eric just came back from New York specially for this matter, is relative to itself. The relations of Eric and Barry Diller want to be paler, if expressed that the comfort only needed a telephone to be enough. 卡森伯格点点头,整个人似乎松了一口气。作为巴里.迪勒的老部下,在巴里.迪勒收购派拉蒙失败之后。卡森伯格也打电话过去问候过。但他却不相信艾瑞克专门从纽约刚回来只是为了这件事,相对于自己。艾瑞克与巴里.迪勒的关系要淡很多,要是表示安慰的话只需要一个电话就足够了。 Katzenberg can also guess reason that Eric and Barry Diller meet with, at this time Eric, since said that but did not acknowledge goal that they meet with, that means that two people have not come to an arrangement about certain matters, moreover that does not need to discuss again, he therefore also felt relieved. 卡森伯格也能够猜测出艾瑞克与巴里.迪勒会面的缘由,此时艾瑞克既然这么说,而不是承认两人会面的目的,那就意味着两个人并没有谈妥某些事情,而且还是没有必要再谈下去的那种,他因此也就放下心来。 To be honest, Katzenberg did not think that Michael Eisner ability many, in the late 80's the Disney successful movie was completed under his leadership. But if compared with Barry Diller, Katzenberg feels ashamed of one's inferiority willingly, how therefore Katzenberg is very difficult to imagine Barry Diller also to join Firefly Pictures they to coexist, making the Firefly Pictures CEO position that he will give up soon succeeding in obtaining, Katzenberg definitely not want, he struggled these many years to be hopeful to reach a position of big Film Studio leader, how possibly easily to give up. But makes Barry Diller hold the post of own subordinate, Katzenberg thought that this situation is hard to imagine. 说心里话,卡森伯格并不觉得迈克尔.艾斯纳比自己能力强多少,八十年代末迪斯尼很多成功的影片都是在他的主导下完成的。但如果与巴里.迪勒相比,卡森伯格心甘情愿地自愧不如,因此卡森伯格很难想象巴里.迪勒也加入萤火虫影业两人该如何共处,让他放弃即将到手的萤火虫影业eo位置,卡森伯格肯定是不愿意的,他奋斗了这么多年才有望登顶一家大电影公司掌门人的位置,怎么可能轻易放弃。但让巴里.迪勒担任自己的下属,卡森伯格觉得这种情形更加难以想象。 Puts down to the anxiety of this matter, Katzenberg also becomes talkative, chats something that recently had. Stands other one side is bald David Geffen also keenly felt similarly in Eric the atmosphere suddenly becomes very relaxed, echoed what others say. 放下对这件事的忧虑,卡森伯格也就变得健谈起来,聊起了最近发生的一些事情。站在艾瑞克另外一边同样是光头的大卫.格芬也敏锐地感觉到气氛突然变得很轻松,也跟着随声附和。 Three people are merry come to the projection room, prepares to broadcast the gap that while the projectionist, Eric gathers to sit in own left hand Katzenberg ear asked in a low voice: „Jeffrey, David was extremely probably warm, what matter has to occur?” 三人有说有笑地一路来到放映室,趁着放映员准备播放的间隙,艾瑞克才凑到坐在自己左手边的卡森伯格耳边低声问道:“杰弗瑞,大卫好像太过热情了一些,有什么事情发生吗？” David Geffen sits right Eric, Katzenberg lowers the sound saying: „Geffen Records must be separated from Time Warner immediately.” 大卫.格芬就坐在艾瑞克右边,卡森伯格压低声音道:“格芬唱片公司马上就要脱离时代华纳了。” The screening hall did not discuss that the place of matter, Katzenberg spoke these words, once more sat straight the body, he believes that these words enough Eric understood information that he wanted. 放映厅并不是谈事情的地方,卡森伯格说完这句话,就再次坐直了身体,他相信这句话就已经足够艾瑞克明白了他想要的信息。 Eric comprehends certainly Katzenberg these words the intention, the present was in 1993, in historical development according to original space and time. Tomorrow David Geffen, Steven Speilberg and Katzenberg jointly will establish DreamWorks Film Studio. 艾瑞克当然领会到卡森伯格这句话的意图,现在是1993年,按照原时空中的历史发展。明天大卫.格芬、史蒂文.斯皮尔伯格和卡森伯格就会联合创立梦工厂电影公司。 However, now the history had very big deviation, Katzenberg not, because leaves Disney with the Michael Eisner contradictory intensification. Spielberg does not have, because «Jurassic Park» attains greatly has the solo flying successfully the intention, had David Geffen some contradictions of Record Company because of death as well as with Time Warner of Steve Ross. But has been separated from the Time Warner group. 不过,现在历史发生了很大的偏差,卡森伯格并没有因为与迈克尔.艾斯纳矛盾激化而离开迪斯尼。斯皮尔伯格也没有因为《侏罗纪公园》的大获成功而产生单飞的意图,只有大卫.格芬的唱片公司因为史蒂夫.罗斯的去世以及与时代华纳的一些矛盾。而脱离了时代华纳集团。 Although Geffen Records cannot compare with the Columbia phonograph record and Universal phonograph record these world-class phonograph record giants, but in the original space and time establishes DreamWorks, brings David Geffen that own music company is joining is among three people net worth richest one. 虽然格芬唱片公司并不能与哥伦比亚唱片、环球唱片这些世界级的唱片巨头相比,但在原时空中成立梦工厂时,带着自己的音乐公司加入的大卫.格芬是三个人当中身家最丰厚的一个。 Since did not have DreamWorks now, David Geffen is to seek for a close collaborator for own Record Company obviously once more, this time seven big middle, except for master Time Warner that was just separated from, Firefly Pictures without doubt is the best choice. 既然现在没有了梦工厂,大卫.格芬明显是想要再次为自己的唱片公司寻找一个紧密的合作者,此时的七大当中,除了刚刚脱离的老东家时代华纳,萤火虫影业无疑是最好的选择。 After «Home Alone» starts to obtain to be successful step by step, Eric also has after a period of time thinks. To develop Firefly related to the media giants of all media entertainment professions, Record Company naturally also within his plan. 从《小鬼当家》开始一步步获得成功之后,艾瑞克也有过一段时间想。想要将萤火虫发展成涉及所有媒体娱乐行业的传媒巨头,唱片公司当然也在他的计划之内。 However, after these years experience and precipitation, Eric was also calm gradually. 不过,经过这几年的历练和沉淀,艾瑞克也逐渐冷静了下来。 Initially with Elizabeth referred to Yahoo had said when like Eric he will not step in paper media such, Eric discovered that the domain expansion of Firefly to the music domain similarly was not the good choice. The new millennium later the paper media of rapid decline are the same, phonograph record profession originally already, because in the 80's compared with the emergence of black rubber phonograph record inexpensive magnetic tape, but experienced a decline under the threat of pirating industry, after the next few years Internet age will arrive, the emergence of network music download, thoroughly the phonograph record profession will infiltrate The Abyss. 就像艾瑞克当初与伊丽莎白谈及雅虎时说过他不会涉足纸质媒体那样,艾瑞克发现将萤火虫的版图扩张到音乐领域同样不是什么好的选择。和新千年之后迅速衰落的纸质媒体一样,唱片行业本来就已经因为八十年代比黑胶唱片廉价许多的磁带的出现,而在盗版产业的威胁下经历了一番衰退,在未来几年网络时代到来之后,网络音乐下载的出现,将会彻底把唱片行业打入深渊。 Now although also has several years to the further decline of phonograph record profession. But if Firefly must step in the music domain on a grand scale, when that possible situation, under the competitions of traditional several big phonograph record giants. Firefly using the development of several years time, just stood firm, the recording industry cold winter arrives immediately, that is the gain does not equal the loss. 现在虽然离唱片行业的进一步衰落还有几年时间。但如果萤火虫要大张旗鼓地涉足音乐领域,那可能出现的情形时,在传统几大唱片巨头的竞争下。萤火虫利用数年时间的发展,刚刚站稳脚跟,唱片业寒冬随即到来,那才是得不偿失。 Eric watches the «Interview with the Vampire» mood and westerner looks at the feeling of «Journey to the West» perhaps almost, without the precipitation of cultural base , is very difficult to produce too many resonances to this type of movie. In the entire view shade process, Eric absent-mindedly was pondering Record Company matter that Katzenberg just mentioned. 艾瑞克观看《夜访吸血鬼》的心情与西方人看《西游记》的感觉或许差不多,没有文化基础的沉淀,也就很难对这种类型的影片产生太多的共鸣。整个观影过程中,艾瑞克都心不在焉地思考着卡森伯格刚刚提及的唱片公司的事情。 The movie broadcasts completes, some Eric machineries in other people along with screening hall applaud together, but. He final thought is actually, at this time enters the music release domain with it. Might as well Apple such in inverse image space and time, uses the network as well as the hardware build charge platform. That is Internet age music industry the say|way of profit. 电影播放完成,艾瑞克有些机械地随着放映厅里的其他人一起鼓掌,不过。他心里最后的念头却是,此时与其进军音乐发行领域。还不如像原时空中的苹果那样,利用网络以及硬件搭建收费平台。那才是网络时代音乐产业的盈利之道。 Light in the screening hall shines, people in the screening hall discussed in a low voice that Eric was pondering over the thought of just having, a female voice resounded in the ear. 放映厅内的灯光亮起,放映厅里的众人纷纷低声议论起来,艾瑞克正在琢磨着刚刚产生的念头,一个女声在耳边响起。 „Mr. Williams, you thought that the movie is what kind of?” “威廉姆斯先生,你觉得电影怎么样？” Eric gains ground, saw that about 50 years old wear a black clothed, cut * Anne Rice of head to collect with Anna Wintour that a while ago met similarly on own initiative. 艾瑞克抬起头,看到50岁左右穿着一袭黑衣,剪着与前段时间遇到的安娜.温图尔相似*头的安妮.莱斯主动凑了过来。 Eric could see from the Anne Rice expression that she regarding Large expanse is satisfied, but Eric just did not have the intention to watch Large expanse , can only echo to say according to the memory: „Is very good, especially the performance of Kirsten, gives my feeling to resemble in her 12-year-old body to hide a 35 year soul.” 艾瑞克从安妮.莱斯的表情中看得出,她对于成片非常满意,不过艾瑞克刚刚却没有用心观看成片,只能根据记忆附和道:“很棒,特别是克尔斯滕的表演,给我的感觉好像她12岁的身躯里藏着一个三十五岁的灵魂。” Anne Rice saw Eric sits is in a daze here, somewhat is at heart discontented, hears Eric these words, just mood vanishes immediately does not see, immediately revealed one to find the feeling of friend, will wave to sit in not far away Kirsten Dunst move comes, has held hugging affectionate, said: „Mr. Williams, was really too skillful, I also had this feeling.” 安妮.莱斯本来看到艾瑞克坐在这里发呆,心里还有些不满,听到艾瑞克这句话,刚刚的情绪立刻消失不见,随即露出一副找到知己的感觉,挥手将坐在不远处的克尔斯滕.邓斯特招过来,亲昵地抱了抱,说道:“威廉姆斯先生,真是太巧了,我也有这种感觉。” Can, this words be you said unfortunately. 能不巧嘛,这句话本来就是你说的。 Eric had underestimated secretly, in the surface actually maintains composure saying: „, Ms. Rice, you are also to this movie satisfied, right?” 艾瑞克暗暗低估了一句,表面上却不动声色道:“那么,莱斯女士,你也对这部电影感到满意,对吧？” „Yes, I also worried Mr. Cruise cannot be competent this role, but, his performance stems from my expectation by far.” “是的,我原本还担心克鲁斯先生不能胜任这个角色,不过,他的表演远远出乎我的预料。” „Since this, Ms. Rice, why you do not write a movie criticism personally,” Eric following the expression of this woman, said: „Like this is helpful regarding the propaganda of movie, can make you more bean noodles be able to see this movie.” “既然这样,莱斯女士,为什么你不亲自写一篇影评呢,”艾瑞克顺着这个女人的语气,说道:“这样对于电影的宣传非常有帮助的,也可以让你更多的粉丝能够看到这部电影。” Anne Rice is almost equal in the status of vampire theme to the love story with Joan Aunt Yao, the role that so long as this well-known author the voice support on the media, plays personally is not inferior to the results that over a million USD advertisements produce. 安妮.莱斯在吸血鬼题材的地位几乎相当于言情小说之与琼瑶阿姨,只要这位知名作者亲自在媒体上发声支持,起到的作用不亚于上百万美元广告产生的效果。 Anne Rice had not promised immediately that is only said ambiguous: „I will express my real view for this movie.” 安妮.莱斯没有立刻许诺,却只是模棱两可地说道:“我会为这部影片发表自己的真实看法的。” Anne Rice spoke these words, the Kirsten Dunst small hand is walking toward the screening hall outside on pulling, but also in a low voice was often chatting anything with Lolita. 安妮.莱斯说完这句话,就拉着克尔斯滕.邓斯特的小手朝放映厅外走去,还不时地低声与洛丽塔聊着什么。 The people were also quick the shift a conference room, the several hosts of movie have created film critic that the Firefly producer and managers as well as several invitations of announcement Department came to start to express their view but actually, by revised some movie details. 众人也很快转移倒了一间会议室,电影的几位主创、萤火虫的制片人、宣发部门的主管以及几位特邀前来的影评人开始发表自己的看法,以对影片一些细节进行修改。 Although most people one face anticipated that Eric throughout has not actually expressed own view, is those words, fellow of this soul from West cannot produce too to feel to the vampire movie much that proposed the revision to suggest rashly, perhaps instead will work just the opposite. 虽然大部分人都一脸期待,艾瑞克却始终都没有发表自己的看法,还是那句话,他这个灵魂来自西方的家伙根本就对吸血鬼电影产生不出太多感觉,贸然提出修改建议,或许反而会适得其反。 The conference is held to a half hour of time, David Geffen received a call, therefore said goodbye to the people, Eric and Katzenberg also taking advantage of delivering the David Geffen opportunity left the conference room. 会议进行到半个小时的时候,大卫.格芬接到了一个电话,于是向众人告辞,艾瑞克和卡森伯格也借着送大卫.格芬的机会离开了会议室。 The parking lot in Firefly campus open-air, three people left the office building, together walks toward the parking lot, David Geffen as if very much at will asks: „Mr. Williams, does Firefly Pictures have to the phonograph record industry growth intention?” 萤火虫园区的停车场是露天的,三个人出了办公楼,一起朝停车场走去的时候,大卫.格芬似乎很随意地问道:“威廉姆斯先生,萤火虫影业有向唱片行业发展的意图吗？” „Sorry, David, this aspect I have not considered, but, the main energy of Firefly next stage will place the TV Network aspect, even if must march the recording industry, must wait till for several years later.” “抱歉,大卫,这方面我还没有考虑过,不过,萤火虫下一阶段的主要精力会放在电视网方面,即使要进军唱片业,也要等到几年之后了。” David Geffen Oh, expression not too big change, although wants to approach Firefly Pictures this full of vitality lofty tree, but David Geffen also has other roads to walk, Eric performance is not earnest, he again has not said anything. 大卫.格芬哦了一声,表情并没有太大的变化,虽然想要傍上萤火虫影业这颗生机勃勃的参天大树,但大卫.格芬也不是没有其他的路可走,艾瑞克表现的不热切,他也就没有再说什么。 After waiting for David Geffen to leave, Katzenberg regrettably said: „Eric, actually, I thought that this is a good opportunity.”( To be continued.) 等大卫.格芬离开之后,卡森伯格才遗憾地说道:“艾瑞克,其实,我觉得这是一个不错的机会。”(未完待续。)
