#622: Always has too many accidents to occur

Chapter 6 第6章 Eric plans the first Victoria’s Secret Catwalk arrangement in fashion capital New York, to coordinate his intense work schedule, the initial arrangement of program places Los Angeles. ↑, 艾瑞克打算将第一次维密走秀安排在时尚之都纽约,不过为了配合他个人紧张的工作日程,节目的初期编排都放在洛杉矶。↑, Had designated initially after Catwalk list, the Victoria’s Secret angels of these new promote must under the request of Eric participates for at least one month model the body plan custom-made, and has maintained Catwalk to finish the stature. Because looks like in Eric, in these stature hot angel supermodels to memory, present majority of professional model is accustomed to as before maintaining the thin stature, this stature at the fashion show can certainly demonstrate the design concepts of these name brand fashions well, but in wearing on time looked like does not raise the eye. 初步选定了走秀名单后,这些新晋的维密天使们还要在艾瑞克的要求下参与至少一个月的定制塑身计划,并且将身材一直维持到走秀结束。因为在艾瑞克看来,相对于记忆中那些身材火辣的天使超模,眼下的大部分模特依旧习惯于保持瘦削的身材,在时装秀上这种身材当然能够更好地展示那些名牌时装的设计理念,但身着内依时看起来就不那么养眼了。 In five spokesmen besides plan will sign the special contract, the wage in other professional model entire big show processes are not high, majority of professional model reward in 50,000 USD about. Although this sum of money is used to invite majority of top professional model to participate in Catwalk is very rich, but if the operating time of this show is four months, under normal conditions some people will not accept. 除了计划中的五个代言人会签署特别合约外,其他模特整个大秀过程中的薪水都不高,大部分模特的报酬都在5万美元左右。虽然这笔钱用来邀请大部分顶级模特参与一场走秀都是非常丰厚的,但如果这场秀的工作时间长达四个月,通常情况下都不会有人接受。 This also most starts Cindy Crawford, the primary cause that the Naomi Campbell two popularity supermodels have not complied with, their daily wage have achieved above 10,000 USD, is not willing to be only on Catwalk is not merely difficult to understand four months of waste. Eric now is impossible to arrive for them to narrate idly personally one holds the post of the advantage that the Victoria’s Secret spokesman will gain, regarding other professional model, Eric manner similarly so, contract on pendulum there, if some people could not notice that they will become in tens of thousands of professional model communities that 40 advantage, similarly can choose the rejection, but, selected 40 professional model ultimately very much intelligently accepted this contract, and started the next step plan according to the arrangement. 这也是最开始辛迪.克劳馥,娜奥米.坎贝尔两位人气超模没有答应下来的主要原因,她们的日薪已经达到了一万美元以上,不愿意将四个月时间浪费在仅仅只是一场走秀上也就不难理解。艾瑞克现在也不可能闲到去亲自为两人讲述一番担任维密代言人将获得的好处,对于其他模特,艾瑞克的态度同样如此,合约就摆在那里,如果有人看不到她们将成为成千上万模特群体中那40个的好处的话,同样可以选择拒绝,不过,被选中的40位模特最终都很聪明地接受了这份合约,并且根据安排开始了下一步的计划。 Meanwhile, Boston Yahoo Headquarters of West coast, after being one month of wrangling negotiations, Yahoo also finally had the result with the cooperation negotiations of Microsoft finally. 与此同时,西海岸的波士顿雅虎总部,经过长达一个月的扯皮谈判,雅虎终于与微软的合作谈判也终于有了结果。 „Within five years, Yahoo Browser any vanguard technology achievement must first utilize in the Windows platform, the edition renewals of other operation system platforms must Windows three months later.” In the telephone, is in Boston Chris to narrate the approximate content of agreement to Eric: „In addition, Yahoo must in five years, open the complete browser patent authorization to Microsoft. Only if Microsoft agreed that otherwise Yahoo can not transfer any browser software technique patent to other third parties......” “五年之内,雅虎浏览器的任何先进技术成果都必须优先运用在windos平台上,其他操作系统平台的版本更新必须在windos三个月之后。”电话中,身在波士顿的克里斯向艾瑞克讲述着协议的大致内容:“此外,雅虎必须在五年内,向微软开放全部的浏览器专利授权。除非微软同意,否则雅虎不得向其他第三方转让任何浏览器软件技术专利……” Eric by the leather chair of office, is listening to narration of Chris, said with a smile: „It seems like Microsoft has really placed on majority of thoughts the browser, this just conforms to the result that we initially discussed.” 艾瑞克靠在办公室的皮椅上,听着克里斯的讲述,笑道:“看来微软果然将大部分心思都放在了浏览器上,这刚好符合我们当初商议的结果。” Opposite Chris also nods saying: „Yes. Microsoft also hoped to obtain some authorities on Yahoo Mail, when we make the concession after the negotiations of browser, Microsoft also gave up these ideas.” 对面的克里斯也点头道:“是啊。微软本来还希望在雅虎邮箱上获得一些权力,不过,当我们在浏览器的谈判上做出让步之后,微软也放弃了这些想法。” It looks like in Eric, can attract large quantities of user coherency very high electronic mail absolutely compared with browser software important many: „They definitely thought that in any case five years later Yahoo is Microsoft, so long as at this time can make the new generation window obtain to surpass other operating systems using the bundle of Yahoo Browser the superiority, these are not worthy of mentioning. Moreover, other?” 在艾瑞克看来,能够吸引大批用户粘性很高的电子邮箱绝对要比浏览器软件重要的多:“他们肯定觉得,反正五年之后雅虎就是微软的了,此时只要能够利用雅虎浏览器的捆绑让新一代视窗系统获得超过其他操作系统的优势,这些都是微不足道的。另外,其他的呢？” Chris continues saying: „Except for the cooperation in browser software, most important is 30% buying stockholder's rights. Microsoft will provide debt financing of 100 million USD to Yahoo, this obtains Yahoo five years later 30% buying stockholder's rights, the effective date of this agreement was in July, 1999, afterward Microsoft three months of consideration time, decided whether started the Yahoo Internet company 30% stockholder's rights acquires, three months later, if Microsoft has not drawn up the viable purchase plan, then regarded as Microsoft automatically gives up this buying the stockholder's rights. Nà, probably was these, the detailed contract had more than 100 pages. I already fax to your assistant office, if your inspiration joke, can read.” 克里斯继续道:“除了浏览器软件方面的合作,最重要的就是30%的购股权。微软将向雅虎提供一亿美元的债务融资,以此获得雅虎五年之后30%的购股权,这份协议的生效日期是1999年7月,随后微软将有三个月的考虑时间,决定是否启动对雅虎网络公司30%的股权进行收购,三个月之后,如果微软没有拿出具有可行性的收购方案,则视为微软自动放弃这份购股权。呐,大概就是这些了,详细的合约有100多页。我已经传真到了你的助理办公室,如果你感兴趣话,可以读一下。” Chris said that in the final expression was having some happy expressions, his naturally clear Eric cannot find any time to read this kind of specialized very strong contract now. 克里斯说道最后的语气里已经带着些许笑意,他当然清楚艾瑞克现在根本抽不出任何时间阅读这样一份专业性很强的合约。 Eric is also smiling bitterly shaking the head. Said: „I just started the screen test work of «Resident Evil» in the morning, now the front puts one pile of materials to process, in the evening must attend the «The Lion King» premiere, you thought that I do have the time to look?” 艾瑞克也苦笑着摇了摇头。道:“我上午刚刚参加完《生化危机》的试镜工作,现在面前放着一堆材料要处理,晚上还要参加《狮子王》的首映礼,你觉得我有时间看吗？” „You make the attorney verify this agreement as soon as possible, if no issue, I next Monday and Microsoft official signature document.” Telephone another side Chris expression said specialized: „Moreover, after Ian they already impatiently wants and other agreement signatures to complete , to promote the script language and instant messenger software, to Microsoft one big was pleasantly surprised.” “那你尽快让律师将这份协议审核一下,如果没有问题,我下周一与微软正式签署文件。”电话另一边的克里斯语气专业地说道:“另外,伊恩他们已经迫不及待地想要等这份协议签署完成之后,推出脚本语言和即时通讯软件,给微软一个大大的惊喜了。” „Naturally, I will give you to answer as soon as possible.” “当然,我会尽快给你答复。” Eric nods, they also chatted several in the telephone, Eric has made the telephone call, simultaneously in the heart also dropped a big stone, this agreement is signed, then also indicates that Microsoft will not jump to disturb in the technical standard of browser software, this will play very big promoter action regarding the promotion of Internet. Naturally, this contract already does not have not to be impossible to limit Microsoft to step in the Internet service, although the responses in many domain is slow, but Eric believe in the next few years along with the eruption of Internet industry, even if Microsoft in the hand will be having the Yahoo buying stockholder's rights, will enter the stadium to compete for ` domain ` absolutely ahead of time. However, so long as the interconnection did not have ‚entrance’ the technical standard conflict did not have, the competitions in other aspects, Eric believes that by own forward-looking vision, Microsoft was absolutely impossible to take the Yahoo anything advantage. 艾瑞克点头,两人在电话里又聊了几句,艾瑞克就挂了电话,同时心中也落下了一块大石头,这份协议签订,那么也将预示着微软不会在浏览器软件的技术标准上跳出来捣乱,这对于互联网的推广将起到很大的促进作用。当然,这份合约既没有也不可能限制微软涉足互联网服务,虽然在很多领域上的反应都非常迟钝,但艾瑞克相信未来几年随着互联网产业的爆发,微软即使手中掌握着雅虎的购股权,也绝对会提前入场争夺‘地盘‘。不过,只要互联无‘入口’的技术标准争端没有了,其他方面的竞争,艾瑞克相信以自己的前瞻性眼光,微软绝对不可能占到雅虎什么便宜。 The busy work always makes the time fast pass, in an instant to the evening, Eric has changed the clothes in the restroom directly, rides in a carriage to drive toward the Hollywood guo big theater. 忙碌的工作总是让时间飞快流逝,转眼间已经到了傍晚,艾瑞克直接在休息室里换好衣服,就乘车朝好莱坞的中囯大剧院驶去。 Although has made has rescinded the decision of Disney Hand-Drawn Animation project, but in the work of 2D Animation peak regarding the original space and time, Eric will certainly not neglect, therefore requests to attend this premiere specially. 虽然已经做出了取消迪斯尼手绘动画项目的决定,但对于原时空中2d动画巅峰之作,艾瑞克当然不会忽视,因此特意要求参加这次首映礼。 «The Lion King» starting from first two weeks, has carried on the point of small scale to reflect, currently merely has several points to reflect Box Office of theater to surpass 3 million USD in North America, in the meantime, Firefly also invested the large amount announcement fund to carry on the advertisement promotion, the premiere was appears mammoth. 《狮子王》从前两周开始,就已经进行着小规模的点映,目前在北美仅仅只有十几家点映影院的票房就已经超过了300万美元,同时,萤火虫也投入了巨额的宣发资金进行广告推广,首映礼更是显得声势浩大。 Before Eric arrives at guo big theater gate, premiere entrance ceremony started, Eric such has not deferred to the order to step red carpet to other honored guests, but after gets out, under staff's guidance, has stepped onto red carpet directly, and the coincidence walked with «The Lion King» Director Roger Allers in one. 艾瑞克到达中囯大剧院门前时,首映礼的入场式已经开始,艾瑞克并没有向其他嘉宾那样按照顺序踏上红毯,而是下车之后在工作人员的引导下,直接走上了红毯,并且很巧合地与《狮子王》的导演罗杰.爱勒斯走在了一起。 The surroundings everywhere are warm movie fan, they arrive at the interview area together, the selective reply several issues, Eric was just about to leave. A stature slightly chubby reporter sound recording will reach Eric suddenly diligently, shouts loudly: „Mr. Williams, heard that you planned after «The Lion King», closes down Hand-Drawn Animation Department of Disney animation studio. This matter real?” 周围到处都是热情的影迷,两人一起走到采访区,选择性的回答了几个问题,艾瑞克正要离开。一个身材微胖的记者突然努力将录音器伸向艾瑞克,大声喊道:“威廉姆斯先生,听说你打算在《狮子王》之后,关停迪斯尼动画工作室的手绘动画部门。这件事是真的吗？” Eric has gawked, looked at eye Roger Allers. The original interest abundant Roger Allers complexion somewhat is also unusual. Eric does not know that this is the arrangement of person with high aspirations, but, this matter is eventually impossible to conceal too for a long time, therefore the nod said: „Yes.” 艾瑞克愣了下,看了眼身旁的罗杰.爱勒斯。本来兴致盎然的罗杰.爱勒斯脸色也有些异样。艾瑞克不知道这是不是有心人的安排,不过,这件事终究不可能隐瞒太久,于是点头道:“是的。” This reply made other reporters seethe with excitement completely. That reporter who just asked said again loudly: „That, is this means that Firefly is attempting to suppress the Disney brand the influence?” 这个回答让其他记者全部沸腾了起来。刚刚发问的那位记者再次大声道:“那么,这是不是意味着,萤火虫正在企图压制迪斯尼品牌的影响力？” Eric has not answered this somewhat caustic issue immediately, but visits to ask: „I do not know why you will ask such ignorant issue, you thought that the Disney brand and Disney Hand-Drawn Animation is coordinated?” 艾瑞克没有立刻回答这个有些尖刻的问题,而是访问道:“我不知道你为什么会问出这样无知的问题,难道你觉得,迪斯尼品牌与迪斯尼手绘动画是对等的吗？” That reporter replied: „Disney's brand image represents is Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, these are the traditional 2D Hand-Drawn Animation images, if has cancelled Disney's Hand-Drawn Animation Department, doesn't mean disappearance of Disney's core value?” 那位记者答道:“迪斯尼的品牌形象代表就是米老鼠和唐老鸭,这些都是传统的2d手绘动画形象,如果取消了迪斯尼的手绘动画部门,难道不意味着迪斯尼的核心价值观的消失吗？” „I do not believe that” Eric shakes the head saying: „Technology grows is inevitable. Therefore, substitutes 2D Animation with more advanced 3D Animation technology, like initially substituted black-and-white movie such with the color motion picture, in my opinion, this will be a trend of being doomed, Firefly will never try to suppress any brand, Disney forever will maintain the use outstanding work will bring the happy core value to the audience.” “我并不这么认为,”艾瑞克摇头道:“技术成长是必然的。所以,用更加先进的3d动画技术来替代2d动画,就像当初用彩色电影替代黑白电影那样,在我看来,这是一种注定的趋势,萤火虫永远不会试图压制旗下的任何品牌,迪斯尼将永远保持利用优秀的作品给观众带来欢乐的核心价值观。” That reporter has not thought such sharp that in the situation that Eric does not prepare can reply as before, a god, had been robbed the inquiry opportunity by other reporters slightly: „Mr. Williams, according to the preview performance and splendid reputation of «The Lion King». If «The Lion King» Box Office is splendid, you will also insist on this decision?” 那位记者没想到艾瑞克毫无准备的情况下依旧能够回答的如此犀利,稍微一愣神,就被其他记者抢走了提问机会:“威廉姆斯先生,根据《狮子王》的试映表现和出色口碑。如果《狮子王》的票房非常出色,你还会坚持这个决定吗？” Eric nodded: „I will continue to insist.” 艾瑞克点了点头:“我会继续坚持。” Spoke these words, Eric no longer pays attention to other reporters' inquiries, walks toward the theater in directly. 说完这句话,艾瑞克就不再理会其他记者的提问,径直朝剧院内走去。 Initially Eric personally selected «The Lion King» from the alternative project of Disney animation studio. Therefore, Katzenberg personally has been responsible for this project, therefore he also attended preview ceremony today. Heard outside some tumults from staff there, Katzenberg immediately welcomed from theater. 当初艾瑞克亲自从迪斯尼动画工作室的备选项目中挑中了《狮子王》。因此,卡森伯格一直都是亲自负责这个项目的,因此今天他也出席了首映式。从工作人员那里听到外面的一些骚动,卡森伯格就立刻从剧院里迎了出来。 „Eric, what happened?” Katzenberg and Roger Allers greeted, then asked that Eric said. “艾瑞克,发生了什么事情？”卡森伯格与罗杰.爱勒斯打了声招呼,然后问艾瑞克道。 Eric waves to hint Roger Allers to enter the arena ahead of time. Then arrives at a corner with Katzenberg, just matter will say, shakes the head to say with a smile: „It seems like some people are not willingly.” 艾瑞克挥手示意罗杰.爱勒斯提前进场。然后与卡森伯格来到一个角落,将刚刚的事情说了一遍,摇头笑道:“看来有些人还是不甘心呢。” Katzenberg silent moment, then said: „Eric, reflects the data investigation of stage according to us at point as well as at present the «The Lion King» first showing scale, most people thought that «The Lion King» first week Box Office likely surpasses 40 million USD, this will break in the past the Box Office records of Disney all animated films. When the time comes if you also persist in cancelling Hand-Drawn Animation Department, definitely will have many people discontented.” 卡森伯格沉默了片刻,然后说道:“艾瑞克,根据我们在点映阶段的数据调查以及目前《狮子王》首映规模,大部分人都觉得,《狮子王》的首周票房很可能超过4000万美元,这将打破以往迪斯尼所有动画电影的票房纪录。到时候如果你还坚持取消手绘动画部门的话,肯定会有很多人不满的。” „I have done to you have analyzed in detail, won't you oppose me?” “我已经给你做过详细的分析了,你不会也反对我吧？” Katzenberg shook the head with a smile, Eric makes this decision the intention, the majority of Firefly high level approves, but, the people are often affected by the benefit that the front will come, like this time, if «The Lion King» first week Box Office will achieve 40 million USD, that will create a brand-new 2D Hand-Drawn Animation record, in this case, Eric must continue such to do, definitely will bring a series of influences. 卡森伯格笑着摇了摇头,艾瑞克做出这个决定的意图,大部分萤火虫高层都是认可的,只不过,人们往往会被面前突然而来的利益所影响,就像这次,如果《狮子王》的首周票房真的达到4000万美元,那将创造一个全新的2d手绘动画纪录,这种情况下,艾瑞克还要继续这么做,肯定会带来一连串的影响。 „Eric, if you think if necessary, I and Michael will hold specially a conference, discussed this matter. «The Lion King» is the project that initially you personally decided that in other words, this project, even if Box Office attains greatly successfully, the biggest merit also on you, straightens out the cause and effect of this matter, definitely will not have the too major problem.” “艾瑞克,如果你觉得有必要的话,我和迈克尔会专门召开一个会议,讨论一下这件事。《狮子王》是当初你亲自决定的项目,也就是说,这个项目即使票房大获成功,最大的功劳也在你身上,将这件事的前因后果理顺,肯定就不会有太大问题了。” Eric nodded, adds: „Moreover, that side the media also paid attention, the bond issuance work of Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank has carried on the larger part, I did not think to present any accident at this time.” 艾瑞克点了点头,又补充道:“另外,媒体那边也注意一下,摩根士丹利和德意志银行的债券发行工作已经进行了一大半,我可不想这个时候出现什么变故。” „I know, if not really good, we can after bond issuance finished, closes down Hand-Drawn Animation Department not to be late again.” “我知道,如果实在不行,我们可以在债券发行结束之后,再关停手绘动画部门也不迟。” Chatted this matter, the Eric talent and Katzenberg enters in the theater hall shoulder to shoulder. 聊完这件事,艾瑞克才与卡森伯格并肩走进影院大厅内。 However, the media have not planned to let off this explosive topic obviously easily, especially something have stemmed from the expectation of Eric greatly. 不过,媒体显然没有打算轻易放过这个爆炸性的话题,特别是有些事情大大出乎了艾瑞克的预料。 Although Eric remembers that «The Lion King» showed for the first time has obtained North America 300 million USD Box Office, but the concrete Box Office curve, he as before initially «Aladdin» and «Beauty and the Beast» these Hand-Drawn Animation screening paths analyzed according to Disney, it is expected that «The Lion King» will be the same with other 2D Hand-Drawn Animation, goes out of one is a half year of long-line Box Office curve. 艾瑞克虽然记得《狮子王》首次放映就取得了北美3亿美元的票房,但具体的票房曲线,他依旧是按照迪斯尼当初《阿拉丁》、《美女与野兽》这些手绘动画的上映轨迹进行分析,预计《狮子王》将和其他2d手绘动画一样,走出一个长达半年的长线票房曲线。 But, the fact is, reported after next day many newspaper Eric will soon cancel Disney Hand-Drawn Animation Department, a Saturday news, once more has detonated the media of North America and even world. 但,事实是,在第二天很多报纸报道了艾瑞克即将取消迪斯尼手绘动画部门之后,周六的一条消息,再次将北美乃至全世界的媒体都引爆了起来。 Because «The Lion King» first date Box Office stemmed from the anticipation of all people greatly, 15.6 million USD. 因为《狮子王》的首日票房大大出乎所有人的意料,1560万美元。 A while ago this data with «The Mummy» and that «Saving Private Ryan» screened and other movies, is not too conspicuous. However, if compares with same type movie, can be startled absolutely the chins of many person. The 2D Animation piece of Disney product, what before this Box Office is highest is two years ago «Aladdin», North America Box Office 220 million USD. However, Aladdin first weekend Box Office actually also only then trivial 19 million, the attention, is first weekend three days of Box Office 19 million, but «Aladdin» during 1992 Thanksgiving, first date Box Office that screened massively, had more than 6 million. This also means that «The Lion King» first date Box Office, not only almost overtook the «Aladdin» first weeks, and has achieved «Aladdin» date Box Office more than two times. All people realized that «The Lion King» becomes in the North America Box Office history first part will possibly surpass the 300 million USD animated film. 这个数据与前段时间上映的《木乃伊》、《拯救大兵瑞恩》等电影来说,并不算太显眼。但是,如果与同类型电影比较的话,绝对会惊掉很多人的下巴。迪斯尼出品的2d动画片,此前票房最高的是两年前的《阿拉丁》,北美票房2.2亿美元。但是,阿拉丁的首周末票房却也只有区区1900万,注意,是首周末三天票房1900万,而《阿拉丁》在1992年感恩节期间,大规模上映的首日票房,却只有600多万。这也就意味着,《狮子王》的首日票房,不但差点追上了《阿拉丁》首周,并且达到了《阿拉丁》首日票房的两倍多。所有人都意识到,《狮子王》很可能会成为北美票房历史上第一部超过3亿美元的动画电影。 But Eric in this case, actually must the Disney's Hand-Drawn Animation Department closure!( To be continued.) 而艾瑞克在这种情况下,却要将迪斯尼的手绘动画部门关闭！(未完待续。)
