After purchasing Disney, Firefly Pictures had own music department, the music department scale of but to several other big Film Studio, from Disney there obtaining wants to be smaller, Eric initially only selected Record Company to ignore for New Territories that to distribute that single established 收购迪斯尼之后,萤火虫影业本来就已经拥有了自己的音乐部门,只不过相对于其他几大电影公司,从迪斯尼那里获得的音乐部门规模要小很多,艾瑞克当初只为了发行那首单曲而成立的新界点唱片公司更是可以忽略不计 At present a Firefly Pictures prosperity, the corporate income as well as the profit are make several other big be jealous, can see future crossing over besides Eric this, perhaps Firefly other management will be the same to Katzenberg, approval expansion Firefly Pictures music department. 眼下萤火虫影业一片欣欣向荣,公司收入以及利润更是让其他几大眼红不已,除了艾瑞克这个能够看到未来的穿越者之外,或许萤火虫的其他所有高管都会向卡森伯格一样,赞成扩张萤火虫影业的音乐部门。 Heard Katzenberg just words, Eric has not attacked his enthusiasm, said: „Jeffrey, Geffen Records does not suit us, moreover we should place in the purchase of TV Network at present all resources and energy, wants to eat too many things, often will have food stuck in the throat.” 听到卡森伯格刚刚的话,艾瑞克也没有打击他的积极性,道:“杰弗瑞,格芬唱片公司并不适合我们,而且我们眼下应该把所有的资源和精力放在电视网的收购上,一口气想要吃太多东西,往往会被噎住的。” Katzenberg understands certainly that this truth, the surface nods, at heart actually slightly unstated criticism, although too did not know about the New York investment company, but he is also very clear this Boss energy scattered, it is said in the «Jurassic Park» propaganda process, this also impulsively went to Finland to acquire a mobile phone company. 卡森伯格当然明白这个道理,表面点头,心里却微微腹诽,虽然对纽约的投资公司不太了解,但他也很清楚自己这个老板精力到底有多分散,据说在《侏罗纪公园》宣传过程中,这位还心血来潮地跑到芬兰收购了一家移动电话公司。 To be honest, Katzenberg before hearing this matter, where even does not know Finnish this small country specifically. 说实话,卡森伯格在听说这件事之前,甚至都不知道芬兰这个小国家具体在什么地方。 At this time passes the rush hour, sent off David Geffen, Eric had not returned to the thought of office, because in watching the «Interview with the Vampire» process has thought network music platform and so on matter, Eric the plan goes back to inquire the relevant information immediately. 此时已经过了下班时间,送走了大卫.格芬,艾瑞克也没有返回办公室的念头,因为在观看《夜访吸血鬼》的过程中想到了网络音乐平台之类的事情,艾瑞克本打算立刻回去查询一下相关信息。 However, thinks they leave, in the office also the troop person stays there, Eric taishou has referred to the position of conference room, asked: „Jeffrey, they what's the matter?” 不过,想到两人离开的时候,办公室里还有一大群人留在那里,艾瑞克抬手指了指会议室的位置,问道:“杰弗瑞,他们是怎么回事？” If only staff working overtime of Firefly, Eric did not think actually has any strange, but he actually remembers that Neil Jordan and Cruise and the others have not left in the conference room. 如果只是萤火虫的员工加班,艾瑞克倒是不觉得有什么奇怪,但他却记得尼尔.乔丹和克鲁斯等人也在会议室里没有离开。 Katzenberg explained: „Company has arranged a small cocktail party for them, is celebrates the filmmaking to complete. In a nearby hotel, in the evening David Geffen definitely also will make an appearance.” 卡森伯格解释道:“公司为他们安排了一个小型的酒会,算是庆祝电影制作完成。就在附近的一家酒店里,晚上大卫.格芬肯定还会露面的。” The westerners hold university dormitory buddy of party in the Eric memory to dine together to be the same, the reason is all kinds, Eric has not been surprised, the meaning of also not having participated, after Katzenberg said goodbye, Eric then returned to Malibu. 西方人举行派对和艾瑞克记忆中大学宿舍哥们聚餐一样,理由五花八门,艾瑞克并没有感到意外,也没有参加的意思,与卡森伯格告别之后,艾瑞克便返回了马里布。 Eric not in Los Angeles. Drew will often not live here, in Cliff Peak Manor not too many people besides some basic attendants. 艾瑞克不在洛杉矶的时候。德鲁往往也不会住在这里,尖角庄园里除了一些基本的维护人员外并没有太多人。 Alone carries the suitcase to enter the villa spacious lonesome and quiet hall. Eric cannot bear deeply inspired. 独自拎着行李箱走进别墅空旷幽静的大厅。艾瑞克忍不住深深吸了一口气。 Here is his state, a state of person. 这里才是他的国度,一个人的国度。 Eric likes enjoying the lonely person, a person admits the bedroom the baggage peacefully, telephoned to select one to go, has had the supper, the Los Angeles weather thorough was dark, Eric entered in the study room, turned on the computer, starts some thoughts of reorganizing thinks in the afternoon. 艾瑞克是非常喜欢享受孤独的人,一个人安静地将行李放进卧室,打电话点了一份外卖,吃过晚餐,洛杉矶的天色彻底黑暗下来,艾瑞克钻进书房里,打开电脑,开始整理下午想到的一些念头。 Yahoo web portal under investment that Eric spares no effort. The content is abundant. Eric had even found an online music share website in the website table of contents, this lets his unusual surprise. 雅虎门户网站在艾瑞克不遗余力的投入下。内容非常丰富。艾瑞克甚至在网站目录里找到了一个在线音乐分享网站,这让他非常诧异。 Because of Western strict copyright protection system, this named ‚Internet underground music archive’ in the website only then few more than 100 first music shares, Eric actually found the thing that oneself have been interested. What the Internet underground music archive website uses is the MP2 audio format, does not need to think that this definitely is the MP3 predecessor. 因为西方严格的版权保护制度,这家名叫‘互联网地下音乐档案’的网站里只有寥寥100多首音乐分享,艾瑞克却从中找到了自己感兴趣的东西。互联网地下音乐档案网站使用的是mp2音频格式,不用想,这肯定是mp3的前身。 Some data compilations that will inquire the documents, Eric opens the mailbox. Head Steve Mitnick that starts to give writes mail. 将查询到的一些资料整理成文档,艾瑞克打开邮箱。开始给的负责人史蒂夫.米特尼克写邮件。 Through these days network exchange, Eric to the browser some head quite profound understanding of companies, Yahoo and three companies, Eric had decided that to Yahoo web portal and online mailbox served two companies to merge before 1995, but Steve Mitnick that head this that he selected so far has not met. 通过这段时间的网络交流,艾瑞克对浏览器公司、雅虎和三家公司的负责人都有比较深刻的了解,艾瑞克已经决定在1995年之前对雅虎门户网站和在线邮箱服务两家公司进行合并,而他选中的负责人正是这位到目前为止还没有见过面的史蒂夫.米特尼克。 Sent the mail, Eric stands to stretch oneself, arrives by the bookshelf to put out a novel at will. Also made pot coffee to oneself, switches off the dome light of study room, sat read under the window desk lamp peacefully. 发送完邮件,艾瑞克站起来伸了个懒腰,走到书架旁随意拿出了一本小说。又给自己冲了一壶咖啡,关掉书房的顶灯,坐在窗边的台灯下安静地读了起来。 In the study room sound-insulated is good, the ocean waves sound cannot pass on, occasionally gains ground, can actually see that the Malibu shore lights shine upon the lower berth a sea level of silver scale light. 书房里隔音非常好,海浪声并不能传进来,偶尔抬头,却可以看到马里布岸边灯火映照下铺着一层银色鳞光的海面。 Has not known how long, in the computer sound box has transmitted a prompt sound. Eric sets out to arrive by the desk, turns on the monitor, saw that Steve Mitnick had the reply. 不知道过了多久,电脑音箱里传来了一声提示音。艾瑞克起身来到书桌旁,打开显示器,看到史蒂夫.米特尼克已经有了回信。 Steve Mitnick is very low regarding the MP2 audio format appraisal, in technical expression that in the mail big pile of Eric could not understand. 史蒂夫.米特尼克对于mp2音频格式评价很低,在邮件中了一大堆艾瑞克听不懂的专业术语。 However, finally they decide that buys the MP2 audio format the patent to make the technical change. 不过,最后两人还是商定买下mp2音频格式的专利进行技术改进。 End, Eric has remembered the instant messenger software that initially they chatted suddenly, initially Steve Mitnick said that three months can complete to him, at this time is almost three months. 末了,艾瑞克突然想起当初两人聊起的即时通讯软件,当初史蒂夫.米特尼克说给他三个月就能完成,此时差不多已经是三个月。 However, after asking, the opposite party jumped the ticket as usual, said that was also some details needs to improve, this words Eric in the development process had experienced one time, has not felt the accident, looked in the smooth utilization effect face, Eric had not urged that in any case this matter was not too rapid, was being tossed about by the opposite party. 不过,问出之后,对方照例跳票,说是还有一些细节需要改进,这种话艾瑞克在的开发过程中就已经经历过一次,也没有感觉到意外,看在流畅的运用效果面子上,艾瑞克并没有催促,反正这件事并不是太急促,就由着对方折腾好了。 Finishes talking the matter, Eric sets out to plan to read a meeting book to sleep again, suddenly discovered that Drew sits cross-legged to sit on his behind sofa, is holding a book to look with total concentration again. 谈完事情,艾瑞克起身打算再读一会书就去睡觉,突然发现德鲁盘腿坐在他身后的沙发上,正聚精会神地捧着一本书再看。 Sees Eric to stand, small girl puts aside in the hand conveniently is the books throws toward Eric. 看到艾瑞克站起来,小妮子随手丢开手中是书本朝艾瑞克扑过来。 The soft small body holds to fill with, Eric fell in the leather chair. 软软的小身子抱个满怀,艾瑞克又跌坐回了皮椅里。 Eric puts out a hand body that holds in the arms the girl to move heedlessly, asked: „When comes back, frightens me to jump.” 艾瑞克伸手搂住丫头乱动的身躯,问道:“什么时候回来的,吓我一跳。” Drew sits on the Eric leg, routinely is rubbing randomly, said grinningly: „Before ten minutes, look at you in busily, has not disturbed you.” 德鲁坐在艾瑞克腿上,习惯性地乱蹭着,笑嘻嘻道:“十分钟之前,看你在忙,就没打扰你嘛。” „Oh, my family girl suddenly changed sensible, these days what wasn't I in insane in Los Angeles?” “哦,我家丫头突然变懂事了,我不在洛杉矶这段时间都在疯什么？” „Not insane, others have been forming Flower Films Oh, I have rented a three office building in the Venice beach, is very near to the Playa Vista Firefly base, what kind of?” “才没有疯,人家一直在组建花朵影业哦,我在威尼斯海滩租了一栋三层的办公楼,离普雷亚维斯塔的萤火虫基地很近,怎么样？” After 20th Century Fox purchases TG, Drew has attained 42 million USD by 30% stocks. Eric according to own arrangement, had sold to Drew at a symbolic price Flower Films. 二十世纪福克斯收购tg之后,德鲁凭借30%的股份拿到了4200万美元。艾瑞克根据自己的安排,将花朵影业以一个象征性的价钱卖给了德鲁。 „Good, can using the resources of movie studio base, be nearby better than Firefly Headquarters, Burbank Headquarters left Playa Vista to be too far.” “不错啊,可以就近利用摄影棚基地的资源,比萤火虫总部好很多,伯班克的总部就离普雷亚维斯塔太远了。” „Hehe, you guess that I did dig to hold the post of Flower Films whom?” “呵呵,还有呢,你猜我把谁挖来担任花朵影业了？” „Michael Eisner?” Eric represses laughter to show surprised expression intentionally. Has patted on the girl leg gently under: „Can complete, I already looked that he is not pleasing to the eyes. Since falls to your hand, that well tidies up him.” “迈克尔.艾斯纳？”艾瑞克忍着笑故意露出惊讶的表情。在丫头腿上轻轻拍了下:“做得好,我早就看他不顺眼了。既然落到你手中,那就好好收拾他。” A small joke dissatisfaction of Drew over Eric, made an effort to turn | the waist slightly: „I have made the big effort, is not good, guesses again!” 德鲁对艾瑞克的小玩笑一阵不满,使劲地扭了扭小丨腰:“我花了好大力气呢,不行,再猜！” „Anything prompts does not have, how you make me guess.” “什么提示都没有,你让我怎么猜啊。” Drew said: „Is woman Oh, you know.” 德鲁道:“是个女人哦,你们认识的。” Women? 女人？ Eric thinks that is astonished however said: „Isn't Paula Wagner?” 艾瑞克想了想,讶然道:“不会是宝拉.瓦格纳？” Eric can think that with the supervisor who the Flower Films strength matches is Cruise &\; Wagner Production Studio Paula Wagner. He planned that makes Nicole dig the Cruise corner, has not thought that actually acted swiftly to get there first by small girl. 艾瑞克能够想到与花朵影业实力相匹配的管理人就是克鲁斯&\;瓦格纳制作公司的宝拉.瓦格纳了。他本打算让妮可去挖克鲁斯的墙角的,没想到却被小妮子捷足先登了。 However. Expression that is in a daze from Drew short, Eric realized that definitely guessed mistakenly. 不过。从德鲁短暂发愣的表情中,艾瑞克意识到,肯定是猜错了。 Drew also quickly thinks that Paula Wagner status, some disdain said: „It is not, her which point is worth me making the big effort to dig.” 德鲁也很快想到宝拉.瓦格纳的身份,有些不屑地说道:“才不是,她哪一点值得我花大力气去挖啊。” Eric then thinks, although Paula Wagner and Tom Cruise ahead of time several years of independence gateway, but has not actually produced «Mission: Impossible» such splendid work. In the two years Cruise Production Studio even can only say that the non- worried thoughts are not hot, achievement any highlight, as if truly has not been worth the girl digging the person: „Was good, do not hit riddle, who you told me directly are.” 艾瑞克这才想到,虽然宝拉.瓦格纳和汤姆.克鲁斯提前几年自立门户,但却没有出品《碟中谍》那样的出色作品。这两年克鲁斯的制作公司甚至只能说不愠不火,业绩没有任何亮点,似乎确实不值得丫头去挖人:“好了,别打哑谜了,你直接告诉我是谁。” „Is Amy Pascal Oh.” “是艾米.帕斯卡尔哦。” Eric really somewhat was then startled, although Amy Pascal is only Columbia Vice Chairman. But because even if Peter Guber cannot do fishy, by Amy Pascal that Columbia did in Hollywood many years of qualifications, changed job to any other big Film Studio continues to hold the post of a Vice Chairman duty is very matters easily, has not thought that will be flickered by small girl to anything no Flower Films. 艾瑞克这下是真的有些吃惊了,艾米.帕斯卡尔虽然只是哥伦比亚的一个副总裁。但即使因为彼得.古柏将哥伦比亚搞的乌烟瘴气干不下去了,以艾米.帕斯卡尔在好莱坞多年的资历,跳槽到其他任何一家大电影公司继续担任一个副总裁的职务都是很轻易的事情,没想到会被小妮子忽悠到什么都没有的花朵影业里。 However, they are really also predestined friends, in the original space and time, the 《Charlie's Angels》 series with the support of Amy Pascal can smooth shoots. 不过,两人还真是有缘,原时空中,《霹雳娇娃》系列就是在艾米.帕斯卡尔的支持下才能顺利拍摄的。 „Said. How do you deceive in Amy your this what also no Shell?” “说说。你怎么把艾米骗到你这家什么都还没有的空壳公司里的？” „I promise her three years later, letting her hold the post of Columbia.” “我答应她三年之后,让她担任哥伦比亚的。” „Oh...... This saying said was also too big?” “哦……啊,这话说的也太大了点？” small girl blinked innocently: „You let me Flower Films independent, doesn't want to make me annex big Film Studio?” 小妮子无辜地眨了眨眼睛:“你让我把花朵影业独立出来,难道不是想让我吞并一家大电影公司吗？” „That is Columbia, I to the goal that you do select am Metro Goldwyn Mayer?” “那可是哥伦比亚啊,我给你挑的目标是米高梅？” Must know, even if two years later Sony realized that Peter Guber played Columbia wanted to leave remnantly, when by the fast trend of escalation of Hollywood industry, the selling price will not compare absolutely initially purchased Columbia from the capitalization lowered many. 要知道,即使两年后索尼意识到彼得.古柏把哥伦比亚玩残了想要抽身,以好莱坞产业的快速上升趋势,售价绝对不会比当初从全资收购哥伦比亚时低多少。 Eric to dodge the monopoly, making small girl bring Flower Films to leave Firefly, had aimed at Metro Goldwyn Mayer. To huge Columbia, declining Metro Goldwyn Mayer Film Industry can take with ten hundred million USD with ease. 艾瑞克为了规避垄断,让小妮子带着花朵影业离开萤火虫,本来是瞄准了米高梅。相对于庞大的哥伦比亚,破落的米高梅影业用十多亿美元就可以轻松拿下。 „Metro Goldwyn Mayer is too rotten, I do not want,” Drew is swinging the small head discontentedly, then starts to shift the topic: „Eric, in my present also 40 million, you thought that I do start shoots to be good from that movie?” “米高梅太烂啦,我才不要,”德鲁不满地摇着小脑袋,然后开始转移话题:“艾瑞克,我现在手里还有40000000呢,你觉得我从那部影片开始拍摄好呢？” Eric felt that small girl shifts the topic the intention, no longer pesters, in any case, draws Amy Pascal, only then the advantage does not have the fault, as for the promise of girl, it is estimated that Eric can consider, Amy Pascal can consider similarly, since the opposite party chooses from Columbia changes job to help Drew, then she affirmed that had own idea. 艾瑞克感觉到小妮子转移话题的意图,也不再纠缠,反正,把艾米.帕斯卡尔拉过来,只有好处没有坏处,至于丫头的许诺,估计艾瑞克能够考虑到的,艾米.帕斯卡尔同样能够考虑到,既然对方选择从哥伦比亚跳槽来帮德鲁,那么她肯定已经有自己的想法。 In the past was so long, Eric had almost even forgotten initially Drew had collected many copyright, so asked that small girl set out from Eric, runs up to by the bookshelf to discover a folder to give him: „Nà, here.” 过去了这么久,艾瑞克甚至都差不多忘记了当初德鲁搜罗了多少版权,如此问了一句,小妮子才从艾瑞克身上起身,跑到书架旁找出一个文件夹过来递给他:“呐,都在这里了。” Eric just about to reads, the girl pushed on Eric, was good is big because of the leather chair enough, the girl was also that petite, by in together did not appear crowded. 艾瑞克刚要翻看,丫头又挤在了艾瑞克身上,好在皮椅够大,丫头也是那种娇小型的,靠在一起并不显得拥挤。 Eric held on the leather chair foot to support floor to move moving toward the desk, took a pencil to come, opens the folder, they looked together to a copyright material list. 艾瑞克拉住皮椅脚撑着地板朝书桌挪了挪,拿了一支铅笔过来,翻开文件夹,两人一起看向一张版权资料列表。 Initially Eric had written much, because of the midway news revelation, had been snatched, some copyright also along with it letting it go, the name on present list is not too many. 当初艾瑞克写了不少,但因为中途消息泄露,被人抢去了一些,还有一些版权也随之不了了之,眼下的列表上的名字并不是太多。 Besides has given to the DreamWorks 《Charlie's Angels》 series, Eric will have most business potential several copyright to display. 除了已经转让给梦工厂的《霹雳娇娃》系列外,艾瑞克将最具商业潜力的几部版权罗列了出来。 «Mission: Impossible» and «The Bourne Identity» and «Forrest Gump» and «The Lord of the Rings»...... 《碟中谍》、《谍影重重》、《阿甘正传》、《魔戒》…… Sees «The Lord of the Rings» time, Eric discovered with amazement that small girl including «The Silmarillion» brought Tolkien's all work copyright, this actually good deed. 看到《魔戒》的时候,艾瑞克惊讶地发现,小妮子将托尔金包括《精灵宝钻》在内的所有作品版权都拿了过来,这倒是一件好事。 In the memory, «The Lord of the Rings» copyright was Miramax Weinstein Brothers attains in the early 90's at first, went through one to fall in the new informer, finally with the efforts of Peter Jackson, appeared on the big silver screen, the entire process has used the entire ten years. 记忆中,《魔戒》最初版权是米拉麦克斯的韦恩斯坦兄弟在九十年代初拿到的,辗转一番落到了新线手中,最终才在彼得.杰克逊的努力下,出现在大银幕上,整个过程用了整整十年时间。 However, because the new line a series of concealment income and buckles sent to be divided into and other behaviors to anger the copyright people of «The Lord of the Rings» series, after shoots ended «The Hobbit», because initially Weinstein Brothers had not attained «The Silmarillion» copyright, finally this series has reached a deadlock. Although «The Silmarillion» copyright all people have given a series of pompous reasons, but, looks like in Eric, the interest distribution had not discussed eventually gathers together. 不过,因为新线一系列隐匿收入、扣发分成等行为惹怒了《魔戒》系列的版权人,在拍摄完《霍比特人》之后,因为当初韦恩斯坦兄弟并没有拿到《精灵宝钻》的版权,最终这个系列搁浅了下来。虽然《精灵宝钻》的版权所有人给出了一系列冠冕堂皇的理由,不过,在艾瑞克看来,终究还是利益分配没有谈拢而已。 Besides these four business potential huge copyright, Eric also saw «The Shawshank Redemption» original novel copyright, although this movie may be called the absolute classics, but cannot be the Box Office big piece, can only bring to attack Oscar to use. 除了这四部商业潜力巨大的版权,艾瑞克还看到了《肖申克的救赎》原版小说的版权,虽然这部电影堪称绝对的经典,但并不能算是票房大片,只能拿来冲击奥斯卡用。 Beside these, several other copyright do not have what anticipation, was Eric the brains storm wants to come out completely at that time. 这些之外,另外几部版权都没有什么看点,完全是艾瑞克当时头脑风暴想出来的。 They by were discussing a while together, Eric thought that only depended on the potential that these copyright brought, wanted to take Columbia, was definitely insufficient. 两人靠在一起商议了一会儿,艾瑞克觉得,仅凭这些版权所带来的潜力,想要拿下哥伦比亚,肯定是不够的。 Has pondered over a while, associates to arrive at Sony, Eric thinks in the original space and time quickly Sony work of «Spider-Man» turning over, now «Spider-Man» as well as other Marvel famous Superhero film and television reorganization power also in these not popular small Film Studio hand, if can take these, then not only will increase the Flower Films chip, but also wanders about destitute Superhero copyright outside to take these ahead of time, in the future will purchase Marvel, did not need to brave these small companies to sit the risk of starting price to take back copyright again.) 琢磨了一会儿,联想到索尼,艾瑞克很快想到原时空中索尼的翻身之作《蜘蛛侠》,现在《蜘蛛侠》以及漫威其他一些著名超级英雄的影视改编权还在那些不入流的小电影公司手中,如果能够将这些拿下来,那么不但会增加花朵影业的筹码,而且提前将这些流落在外的超级英雄版权拿到手,将来收购漫威,就不用再冒着那些小公司坐地起价的风险去收回版权了。)
