#599: Voluntary

Has met too many about the charitable broken matter, regardless of previous life this life, Eric is dull to this topic interest pleasure, Tom Murphy also felt Eric the mood, therefore shifted other topics, said: „Eric, I heard that the «Jurassic Park» sequel has been arranging, don't you plan to continue to hold the post of Director really?” 遇见过太多关于慈善的破事,无论前世今生,艾瑞克对这个话题都兴味索然,汤姆.墨菲也感受到了艾瑞克的这种情绪,于是转移了其他话题,说道:“艾瑞克,我听说《侏罗纪公园》续集已经在筹备了,你真的不打算继续担任导演吗？” Since became the Firefly shareholder, «Jurassic Park» this involving the number counted the USD benefit by 1 billion the movie project also has become the Buffett attention object, heard the old friend to mention this matter, Buffett also echoed saying: „Eric, the «Jurassic Park» such important project, I thought that you personally control to finally well, I think that anybody does not hope saw this movie the sequel presents the mistake.” 既然已经成为萤火虫的股东,《侏罗纪公园》这种涉及到数以十亿计美元利益的电影项目也成了巴菲特的关注对象,听到老友提起这件事,巴菲特也跟着附和道:“艾瑞克,《侏罗纪公园》这么重要的项目,我觉得,你最后还是亲自掌控为好,我想任何人都不希望看到这部影片的续集出现差池的。” Eric also expected that Firefly introduces other shareholder meetings to have this situation, but, after his inverse image space and time Michael Eisner such does not purchase ABC, carries out individual will obstinately forcefully, eventually causes profit ABC to fall into the loss quickly once more. 艾瑞克也预料到萤火虫引入其他股东会出现这种情形,不过,他也不像原时空中迈克尔.艾斯纳那样收购ab之后刚愎自用地强行推行个人意志,最终导致原本盈利的ab很快再次陷入亏损。 Firefly development until now degree, Eric knew that absolutely is not he can control, therefore deals with the relations with the shareholder and management became important. Therefore, hears the suggestions of two old man, Eric explains patiently: „I will hold the post of the «Jurassic Park» sequel as before Producer, moreover on the Director candidate I also very prudent consideration, to guarantee absolutely safe of this project. However, then at least one year, I will place ABC content production more energy, although ABC had obtained the North America market share first good achievements last year, but I discovered after «Growing Pains» terminates, ABC several years had not presented the TV series of any phenomenon level.” 萤火虫发展到如今的程度,艾瑞克自知绝对不是他一个人能够掌控的了的,所以与股东和管理层处理好关系已经变得至关重要。因此,听到两个老头子的建议,艾瑞克耐心解释道:“我个人依旧会担任《侏罗纪公园》续集的制作人,而且在导演人选上我也会非常慎重的考虑,以确保这个项目的万无一失。不过,接下来至少一年时间里,我会将更多的精力放在ab的内容制作方面,虽然ab去年取得了北美市场份额第一的好成绩,但我发现在《成长的烦恼》完结之后,ab已经好几年没有出现过任何一部现象级的系列剧了。” Hears the plan of Eric, nod that Tom Murphy understands, said: „I heard that Firefly has taken back 《Friends》 copyright?” 听到艾瑞克的计划,汤姆.墨菲理解的点点头,说道:“我听说萤火虫已经收回《老友记》的版权了吧？” „Yes.” Eric noted Tom Murphy to continue anything, then said: „But, «File» and «1 million Wealthy man» two grades of programs initially were Firefly and Fox together developed to share copyright. These two grades of programs could not take carry back.” “是的。”艾瑞克注意到汤姆.墨菲想要继续说什么,接着道:“不过,《档案》和《1000000富翁》两档节目当初是萤火虫与福克斯一起开发共享版权的。这两档节目是拿不回来了。” „Probably also «Buffy the Vampire Slayer», heard that this TV series has caused very big reaction in the young people community.” Buffett inserts the tastes suddenly, was saying also slightly shook the head, in the expression is having some regrets, said: „Eric, you were generous to Fox TV Network.” “好像还有一部《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》,听说这部电视剧在青少年群体中引起了很大的反响。”巴菲特突然插口道,说着还微微摇了摇头,表情中带着些遗憾,道:“艾瑞克,你对福克斯电视网过于慷慨了。” „Because at that time Firefly and Fox were the partners,” Eric was perfunctory at will, said: „But, except for 《Friends》. I am ABC choose good TV series, at present has been manufacturing, next month can see to test broadcasting the collection.” “因为那时候萤火虫和福克斯是合作伙伴啊,”艾瑞克随意敷衍着,道:“不过,除了《老友记》。我已经又为ab挑选出了一部不错的电视剧,目前已经在制作了,下个月就能够看到试播集。” „Oh,” Tom Murphy came the interest, pursues asks: „What type TV series is?” “哦,”汤姆.墨菲来了兴致,追问道:“是什么类型的电视剧？” „A medical play,” Eric said: „Named «ER», if you are interested, I will make the person deliver a story program tomorrow to you.” “一部医疗剧,”艾瑞克道:“名叫《急诊室的故事》,如果你感兴趣的话,我让人明天送一份故事大纲给你。” „This does not use but actually,” Tom Murphy shakes the head: „I anticipated that can the earliest possible time see to test broadcasting the collection.” “这倒不用,”汤姆.墨菲摇摇头:“我还是更期待能够第一时间看到试播集。” „Does not have the issue, after completing, I can the earliest possible time invite your. Warren, if interested, you when the time comes can also come to see together.” “没问题,完成之后我会第一时间邀请你的。沃伦,如果有兴趣的话,你到时候也可以一起来看看。” „If can find the time. I will come,” Buffett said: „Moreover, Eric, since «1 million Wealthy man» cannot take carry back, why you no longer do form in one's mind grade of similar Reality Show?” “如果能够抽出时间的话。我会过来的,”巴菲特道:“另外,艾瑞克,既然《1000000富翁》拿不回来,那你为什么不再构思一档类似的真人秀呢？” Eric said with a smile: „Had, Firefly bought Reality Show to form in one's mind from a United Kingdom program Producer hand last month, named «Survivor», is improving at present still the specific detail of program, it is expected that in the fall the files can also promote with 《Friends》 and «ER».” 艾瑞克笑道:“已经有了,萤火虫上个月从一个英国节目制作人手中买下了一个真人秀构思,名叫《幸存者》,目前还在完善节目的具体细节,预计秋季档可以和《老友记》、《急诊室的故事》同时推出。” Although famous Reality TV Show «Survivor» in original space and time promoted in CBS TV Station until 2000. But in fact presented the idea in 1994, but had not been accepted by North America TV Network. 大名鼎鼎的真人秀节目《幸存者》虽然在原时空中直到2000年才在bs电视台推出。但实际上早在1994年就已经出现了构思,只不过一直没有被北美电视网采纳。 Many audiences discovered that the major TV Station always customs of United States rescreen or the purchase already in the television programs of other countries. Therefore frequently takes this point to tease the United States person deficient creativity, but the fact is not true. 很多观众都发现美国的各大电视台总是习惯翻拍或者购买已经在其他国家的电视节目。于是就经常拿这一点来调侃美国人缺乏创意,但事实并非如此。 United States several Major TV Network. Every week usually promotes during the day and prime time amounts to more than 90 hours of television programs, but these most important is the value is also highest, actually be only every night three hours( Sunday are four hours) each week amount to 22 hours of prime time programs, because program public TV Network each area often respectively has various program arrangements during the day, attached TV Station also acts according to own situation arrangement program to list. But the daily prime time, is actually hundreds of child TV Network of main TV Network as well as on all fronts broadcasts, this also means that the prime time each program must undergo strict screening to broadcast finally, after all, a grade of television program, once establishes, is impossible to broadcast 12 volumes because the viewing ratio accepts a lower status reduces immediately, because of contract and other factor limits, even if the viewing ratio throws the street, after that also needs to broadcast six volumes of reservation, can stop broadcasting, once this is the situation appears, TV Network because the failure of this grade of program will lose the large amount advertising expenditure. Therefore, from belonging to English cultural circle introduction had proven the television program of its reception potential, undoubtedly most has one procedure of safeguard. 美国的几大电视网。每周通常推出日间和黄金时间总计90多个小时的电视节目,但这其中最重要的也是价值最高的,却只有每天晚上三个小时（星期天为四个小时）每周总计22个小时的黄金时段节目,因为日间节目公共电视网各个地区往往各有各的节目安排,附属电视台也根据自身的情况安排节目列表。但每天的黄金时段,却是主要电视网以及旗下数以百计的子电视网全线联播,这也就意味着黄金时段的每一个节目都必须经过严格的筛选才能最终播出,毕竟,一档电视节目一旦确立,不可能播放12集就因为收视率太低就立刻砍掉,因为合同等因素限制,即使收视率非常扑街,那也需要播放预订的六集之后才能够停播,而一旦这是情况出现,电视网就会因为这档节目的失败损失巨额的广告费。因此,从同属于英语文化圈引进已经证明了其收视潜力的电视节目,无疑是最具保障的一种做法。 Eric collection program creativity time, «Survivor» inventor Charlie Parsons sells this own creativity to United Kingdom and United States major TV Station, but, was rejected without exception completely, Eric had discovered after this creativity, making the Firefly TV series production unit sell outright this grade of program creativity copyright secretly completely. 艾瑞克搜集节目创意的时候,《幸存者》的创作人查理.帕森斯正在向英国和美国的各大电视台推销这个自己的创意,不过,无一例外全部都被拒绝,艾瑞克发现了这个创意之后,让萤火虫的电视剧制作部门秘密地将这档节目创意版权完全买断了下来。 However, in program form and Eric memory of Charlie Parsons idea compares very roughly, Eric has been making the Firefly production unit continue to improve this project recently. 不过,查理.帕森斯构思的节目形式与艾瑞克记忆中的相比非常粗糙,艾瑞克最近一直在让萤火虫的制作部门继续完善这个项目。 Buffett and Tom Murphy hear of Eric said simply the general idea of «Survivor», Buffett thought this grade of program is very interesting, has worked dozens years of Tom Murphy actually to see in the videoland «Survivor» subverts the traditional idea, commended again and again. 巴菲特和汤姆.墨菲听艾瑞克简单说了一下《幸存者》的大概构思,巴菲特只是觉得这档节目挺有意思,已经在电视业工作几十年的汤姆.墨菲却从中看出了《幸存者》颠覆传统的构思,连连称赞。 Eric has not displayed too many self-satisfacations to the commendation of Tom Murphy actually, after all, in this world most does not lack is the creativity, let alone the «Survivor» program creativity definitely also underwent the verification of original ABC production unit, was not thrown in some corner accidentally at will. Reason that Tom Murphy so. What are more is Eric creates corona in addition that a series of success programs have created to hold personally, like any movie project that he settles on now, will receive attaching great importance to of Hollywood with competing to be the same. 艾瑞克倒是没有对汤姆.墨菲的称赞表现出太多的得意,毕竟,这个世界上最不缺的就是创意,更何况《幸存者》的节目创意肯定也经过了原ab制作部门的审核,然后毫不意外地被随意丢到了某个角落里。汤姆.墨菲之所以如此。更多的是艾瑞克个人创造了一系列成功节目所造成的光环加持,就像他现在看中的任何电影项目,都会受到好莱坞的重视和争夺一样。 „Warren. Tom, a matter. I want to notify you ahead of time,” has drunk under several champagne moistened the throat, Eric said to Buffett and Tom Murphy: „I planned that strips completely newspaper and magazine of company.” “沃伦。汤姆,还有一件事情。我想提前跟你们打个招呼,”喝了几口香槟润了下喉咙,艾瑞克对巴菲特和汤姆.墨菲道:“我打算把公司旗下的报纸和杂志全部剥离出来。” Buffett hears these words, immediately frowned slightly, Tom Murphy asked: „Eric, why must such do, these newspaper continually are gaining in recent years, I could not see that it is necessary that anything must strip. Moreover these can newspaper happen to expand the Firefly media influence?” 巴菲特听到这句话,立刻微微皱起了眉头,汤姆.墨菲则问道:“艾瑞克,为什么要这么做呢,这些报纸最近几年都在持续盈利,我看不出有什么要剥离出去的必要。而且这些报纸正好可以扩大萤火虫的媒体影响力？” According to the historical process, the Internet upsurge will enter the explosion stroke next year, although the present paper media are still in very important status in the media industry, but Eric actually clearly remembers that along with rising of Internet new media, these paper media will quickly turn into the phoenix that falls the wool, the value is the straight line falls, was in the world 500 strong traditional paper media groups basically unable to escape the property large shrinkage in 20th century beginning the destiny. 按照历史进程,互联网热潮将在明年进入爆发期,虽然眼下的纸质媒体还在传媒业占据着非常重要的地位,但艾瑞克却清楚地记得,随着互联网新媒体的崛起,这些纸质媒体很快将变成落毛的凤凰,价值更是直线滑落,很多原本处于世界500强的传统纸质媒体集团在二十世纪初基本上都逃不脱资产大幅缩水的命运。 Now official paper media most valuable time, Eric naturally must seize the chance to leverage: „Tom, I did not deny these newspaper values. However, the Firefly management center of gravity on these, Firefly will not have managed in the future places the movie and television service with emphasis grows in the industry extremely. Therefore I planned that strips these properties,” was saying Eric looks to Buffett: „Warren, I know that you have regarded as important the newspaper service very much, if Berkshire is interested in these properties, perhaps we can find the time to chat, I will give a quite reasonable price.” 现在正式纸质媒体最值钱的时候,艾瑞克当然要趁机套现出来:“汤姆,我并不否认这些报纸的价值。不过,萤火虫的经营重心并不在这些上面,萤火虫将来会一直将经营重点放在电影和电视业务极其衍生产业上。所以我才打算将这些资产剥离出来,”说着艾瑞克又看向巴菲特:“沃伦,我知道你一直很看重报纸业务,如果伯克希尔对这些资产感兴趣的话,或许我们可以找时间谈谈,我会给出一个比较合理的价格的。” This is one is willing to hit one to be willing to suffer, Eric supplements to say at heart, if Buffett will discover in the future one by pit, that could not complain about itself. 这可是一个愿打一个愿挨啊,艾瑞克心里补充说道,如果巴菲特将来发现自己被坑了,那也怨不得自己。 Berkshire Hathaway has including «The Washington Post» many newspaper stocks. Buffett because of the newspaper boy energy of childhood, was maintaining to the strong investment interest of newspaper profession. 伯克希尔.哈撒韦旗下拥有包括《华盛顿邮报》等多家报纸的股份。巴菲特因为儿时的报童精力,一直都保持着对报纸行业的浓厚投资兴趣。 However. Buffett is very clear, that several newspaper properties of original metropolis company do not have 1 billion USD unable to take absolutely. But Buffett had own plan to ten hundred million USD funds that leveraged from this transaction, he planned other mansion employee insurance company stock total revenue pouches of Berkshire, in the Berkshire short-term was impossible to collect ten hundred million USD to buy these newspaper again. 不过。巴菲特很清楚,原大都会公司旗下的那几家报纸资产没有十亿美元是绝对拿不下来的。但巴菲特已经对从这次交易中套现出来的十多亿美元资金有了自己的打算,他计划将伯克希尔旗下的正府雇员保险公司其余股份全部收入囊中,伯克希尔短期内根本不可能再筹集十多亿美元买下这些报纸。 Moreover, although the Eric expression is sincere, Buffett keenly felt that some differences, this makes him also discrete: „Eric, if you can wait for one year, Berkshire did not mind that takes these newspaper, the fund that but now, Berkshire re-steams through this purchase had other uses, I could not have put out enough cash.” 而且,虽然艾瑞克的表情非常真诚,巴菲特还是敏锐地感觉到了一些异样,这让他也变得谨慎起来:“艾瑞克,如果你能够等一年时间的话,伯克希尔不介意拿下这些报纸,但现在,伯克希尔通过这次收购回笼的资金已经有其他用途,我还拿不出足够的现金来。” „Has not related,” a Eric as before very honest younger generation appearance: „Firefly at present to the demand of fund is not that intense, therefore Berkshire can definitely pay for this acquisition charges with the stock.” “没关系,”艾瑞克依旧一副非常坦诚的晚辈模样:“萤火虫目前对资金的需求并不是那么强烈,所以伯克希尔完全可以用股票支付这笔收购费用。” At present the Berkshire Hathaway stock price is two ten thousand USD about, although this is the North America highest stock price, but Eric actually knows that the next several years, the Berkshire stock price will rise steadily to 20 ten thousand USD astonishing prices, even if at this time sells 1 billion USD these newspaper, more than ten years later again hands over is 10 billion. 目前伯克希尔.哈撒韦的股票价格是两万美元左右,虽然这已经是北美最高的股价了,但艾瑞克却知道,未来十几年,伯克希尔的股票价格将持续上涨到20万美元的惊人价位上,此时哪怕将这些报纸卖出十亿美元,十多年后就再转手就是一百亿。 Always hears Eric to mention that in Buffett that in stock sell and transfer do not lift a finger to help this plan, immediately from discretely becomes vigilant, shakes the head saying: „Eric, Berkshire will not use the stock merger and acquisition purchase company, perhaps you can relate other media groups.” 从来在股票出售和转让上都一毛不拔的巴菲特听到艾瑞克提到这个方案,立刻从谨慎变为警惕,摇头道:“艾瑞克,伯克希尔是不会采用股票并购方式收购公司的,或许你可以去联系一下其他传媒集团。” Eric shakes the head regrettably: „Good, if Berkshire has the wish of taking over, can call me at any time.” 艾瑞克遗憾地摇摇头:“那好吧,如果伯克希尔有接手的意愿,可以随时给我打电话。” „My meeting,” Buffett nods, then has referred to not far away, said: „Eric, I saw an old friend, I must say good bye now.” “我会的,”巴菲特点点头,然后指了指不远处,道:“艾瑞克,我看到了一个老朋友,失陪了。” Buffett said that but also signaled with the eyes toward starting to speak but hesitating Tom Murphy, Tom Murphy has then swallowed the words that wanted to speak, got out of the way with Warren Buffett together. 巴菲特说完,还朝欲言又止的汤姆.墨菲使了个眼色,汤姆.墨菲便咽下了想要说的话,跟着沃伦.巴菲特一起走开。 Gazes after two old man to leave, Eric looked at the watch, is a afternoon o'clock, looked at all around, found the Jeffrey form, walked. 目送两个老头子离开,艾瑞克看了看手表,已经是下午一点钟,看了看四周,找到杰弗里的身影,走了过去。 Sees Eric to enter, just toward Eric lifted raising glass with a middle-aged person who Jeffrey spoke, the politeness got out of the way. 看到艾瑞克走进,刚刚与杰弗里说话的一个中年人朝艾瑞克举了举杯,礼貌地走开了。 Jeffrey asked: „Was Eric, what just chatting with them?” 杰弗里问道:“艾瑞克,刚刚在跟他们聊什么？” „Some programs matter,” Eric said: „Jeffrey, today is the birthdays of two kids, I must go to Eath Hampton, do you also together come?” “一些节目制作上的事情,”艾瑞克道:“杰弗里,今天是两个小家伙的生日,我要去东汉普顿了,你也一起来吧？” Jeffrey shook the head, smiles the rejection saying: „Unconscious two kid one year old, I under and others made the secretary help to select the different birthday present to send to them, does not celebrate a birthday party is the matters of your young people, I do not pass.” 杰弗里摇了摇头,笑着拒绝道:“不知不觉两个小家伙都一岁了啊,我等下让秘书帮忙挑两样生日礼物给他们送去,不过生日派对是你们年轻人的事情,我就不过去了。” Eric said: „Together goes, Chris and Emily will also pass today, perhaps you can also with they chat the wedding and so on matter.” 艾瑞克道:“还是一起去吧,克里斯和艾米丽今天也会过去,或许你还可以跟他们聊聊婚礼之类的事情。” „Their two,” on the Jeffrey face show the helpless look, but has considered, said: „Good.” “他们两个啊,”杰弗里脸上露出无奈的神色,不过考虑了下,还是说道:“那好吧。” „I go they to greet with Katzenberg, the helicopter should in rooftop, you be able to pass now first.” “我去跟卡森伯格他们打声招呼,直升机现在应该已经在天台上了,你可以先过去。” ...... …… Long Island Eath Hampton school of traces of spring of April abundant, to the person a full of vitality feeling, the helicopter falls in the Eath Hampton seaside manor lawn slowly, Eric supported by the arm Jeffrey to alight from the airplane, had confessed pilot several, the helicopter left once more. 四月份的长岛东汉普顿一派春意盎然,给人一种生机勃勃的感觉,直升机在东汉普顿的临海庄园草坪上缓缓落下,艾瑞克搀扶着杰弗里下了飞机,交代了飞行员几句,直升机再次离开。 Joanna and Virginia also led a troop person to welcome at this time, before two women telephoned to Eric mentioned two kid year of birthday party the time, hopes that can invite some guests to come, Eric can also realize that two thoughts of women, they do not hope two kids maintained the unknown illegitimate child conditions, Eric has not wanted pair of children's a status to the thoughts that kept secret, therefore then complied. 乔安娜和维吉尼娅这时也带着一大群人迎了上来,之前两个女人打电话给艾瑞克说起两个小家伙周岁生日派对的时候,希望能够邀请一些宾客来,艾瑞克也能够体会到两个女人的心思,她们不希望两个小家伙一直保持不为人知的私生子状态,艾瑞克也从来没有想要对一对儿女的身份秘而不宣的心思,于是便答应了下来。 At this time walks more than ten people, besides holding Joanna and Virginia of two kids, Chris as well as Emily, Eric also saw Elizabeth and Drew, but two females leave by far. Moreover, Eric also saw Virginia elder brother Michael Madsen, depends on the tall and slender woman in Michael Madsen 30 year, Joanna younger sister Ewa Pacula, person Eric some in addition too have not known.( To be continued.) 此时走过来的足足有十多人,除了抱着两个小家伙的乔安娜和维吉尼娅,克里斯以及艾米丽,艾瑞克还看到了伊丽莎白和德鲁,不过两女离得远远的。另外,艾瑞克还看到了维吉尼娅的哥哥迈克尔.马德森,还有依在迈克尔.马德森身边一个三十岁左右的高挑女人,还有乔安娜的妹妹爱娃.帕库拉,除此之外的一些人艾瑞克就不太认识了。(未完待续。)
