Has not known how long, in office deep attachment quan an inexplicable warm dark aura, the Kelly Haynes stance quiet and refined was also sitting in the desk opposite, in the hand takes the pencil basis the memory to help Eric supplement the collection of music scores a moment ago, occasionally replied issue that the opposite man asked. <\;=, 不知道过了多久,办公室里还缱绻着一丝莫名的暖昧气息,凯莉.海恩斯姿态娴静地坐在办公桌对面,手里拿着铅笔根据刚才记忆帮艾瑞克补充着曲谱,偶尔回答一下对面男人提出的问题。≤, Regarding Eric on 《Los Angeles Times》 discovered in the morning Ron Perelman buys up the Firefly Group bond the matter, the conclusion that Katzenberg or New York Chris gives does not need to worry that held Buffett of similar viewpoint also specially to give Eric to hand over a detailed personal letter, attempt has made him feel at ease. 对于艾瑞克上午在《洛杉矶时报》上发现罗恩.佩雷尔曼买进萤火虫集团债券的事情,无论是卡森伯格还是纽约克里斯给出的结论都是无需担忧,持同样观点的巴菲特还专门给艾瑞克递过来了一封详细的亲笔信,试图让他安心。 Because has many precedents, the Ron Perelman thoughts are not difficult to guess that this The Wolf of Wall Street is very possible to want with the aid of the wind that Firefly domestic reform Animation Department causes to dial, makes use to unite other creditors to move into Firefly Board of Directors, gains the director quota, participates in the management and management decision of group. 因为有着很多先例,罗恩.佩雷尔曼的心思并不难猜测,这位华尔街之狼很可能是想要借助萤火虫内部改革动画部门所引起的这次风拨,趁势联合其他债权人入驻萤火虫董事会,获取董事名额,参与集团的经营和管理决策。 If longer-term considered that this is also only the first step of Ron Perelman plan. 如果更长远一些考虑,这也只是罗恩.佩雷尔曼计划的第一步。 After entering Firefly Board of Directors successfully, Ron Perelman needs to wait for is Firefly management bitter experience difficult position that moment. 成功进驻萤火虫董事会之后,罗恩.佩雷尔曼需要等待的就是萤火虫经营遭遇困境的那一刻。 The film and television media are always the risk very high profession, although Hollywood fluctuates after hundred years, as before is that several big Film Studio. But in fact, these Film Studio masters do not know that has replaced many, each Film Studio because of the movie unfavorable situation bitter experience bankruptcy predicament, the original masters possibly initiative or is forced to give it to next. 影视传媒从来都是风险非常高的行业,虽然好莱坞历经百年起伏,依旧是那几大电影公司。但实际上,这些电影公司的主人已经不知道更换了多少遍,每一次电影公司因为影片失利遭遇破产窘境,原主人都可能主动或者被迫将其转让给下一家。 After current bond issuance completes, Firefly Group debt will achieve 10 billion USD, according to various interest computation formulas of different bond, the aggregate amount estimate that repays finally in 15 billion USD about. According to the bond time limit of average ten-year, Firefly Group the average every year debt disbursement needs 1.5 billion USD afterward. Naturally, this is only the gross data . Moreover, although looked like this digit has even surpassed the Firefly beforehand several years of profits for the year. But in fact, grows according to Firefly Group every year market value and earning anticipated, as well as the complex tax affairs reduce the system, this expenditure will not become the burden of Firefly Group. 目前的这笔债券发行完成之后,萤火虫集团的累计债务将达到100亿美元,根据不同债券的各种利息计算公式,最终偿还的总金额预计在150亿美元左右。按照平均十年期的债券时限,萤火虫集团随后平均每年的债务支出就需要15亿美元。当然,这只是理论数据,而且,虽然看起来这笔数字甚至超过了萤火虫之前几年的年利润。但实际上,根据萤火虫集团每年的市值和营收增长预期,以及复杂的税务减免体系,这笔开支并不会成为萤火虫集团的负担。 However. All these premise, that is the Firefly operating results continuously upkeep. 但是。这一切都有一个前提,那就是萤火虫的经营业绩一直保持良好状态。 However, in the ideas of all industry sources, a media group centered on film and television service. To maintain stable performance level is almost impossible. Perhaps in the future 1-2 years the failures of several big manufacture movie or TV series, possibly cause the finance of Firefly Group to become serious . Moreover, the domino effect that in the situation in railway engine underpowered, forms will also create other services the low. And therefore forms the vicious circle. 不过,在所有行业人士的观念里,一家以影视业务为核心的传媒集团。想要一直保持稳定的业绩水平几乎是不可能的。或许将来一两年内几部大制作影片或者电视剧的失败,都可能造成萤火虫集团的财务吃紧,而且,在‘火车头’动力不足的情况下,形成的多米诺效应也会造成其他业务的低迷。并且因此形成恶性循环。 Ron Perelman waited for that is that time of future. 罗恩.佩雷尔曼等待的,便是未来的那个时刻。 Once Firefly Group bitter experience difficult position, the creditor can flaunt is protecting own fund security the banner, trades the committee and Firefly Board of Directors to the federation proposed that the debt transfers shares of stock the request, is turned into the Firefly Group master by this by the creditor. 一旦萤火虫集团遭遇困境,债权人就可以打着保护自身资金安全的旗号,向联邦交易委员会和萤火虫董事会提出债转股要求,以此由债权人变成萤火虫集团的主人。 In the original space and time, carries huge debt Metro Goldwyn Mayer more than once to pace back and forth by the edge that the creditor changes from guest to host. 原时空中,身负巨额债务的米高梅就不止一次地徘徊在被债权人反客为主的边缘。 From the Buffett personal letter, this vision sharp investment big shot analyzes Ron Perelman to attempt to launch this attack, biggest depending on likely is unites Disney's Hand-Drawn Animation Department to exert pressure to the Firefly shareholder together. Buffett indicated that if were he has not seen that night material, huge profit that because «The Lion King» anticipated will create. He will judge Eric not to count at all costs to preserve absolutely safe of Disney Hand-Drawn Animation Department, but this also possibly coerces to join the Board of Directors chip for the creditor. 来自巴菲特的亲笔信里,这位目光犀利的投资大亨分析罗恩.佩雷尔曼企图发动这次攻击,最大的倚仗很可能就是联合迪斯尼的手绘动画部门共同向萤火虫股东施压。巴菲特表示,如果是他自己没有看到那天晚上的资料,因为《狮子王》预期将创造的巨额利润。他就会判断艾瑞克将不计一切代价保全迪斯尼手绘动画部门的万无一失,而这也可能为债权人要挟加入董事会的筹码。 However, since Eric had every reason determination to reform Disney Animation Department, the coercing chip that Ron Perelman depends on does not establish from the beginning. Buffett also sincere in words indicated that even if has other conditions, Berkshire Hathaway steadfastly will also stand this side Eric, and can provide help maximum limit. 不过,既然艾瑞克已经拥有充分的理由决心改革迪斯尼动画部门,罗恩.佩雷尔曼所倚仗的要挟筹码从一开始就不成立了。巴菲特还言辞恳切地表示,即使发生其他状况,伯克希尔.哈撒韦也会坚定不移地站在艾瑞克这一边,并可以提供最大限度的帮助。 Read several documents, Eric looks up to Kelly, asked: Buffett believed you to look?” 将几份文件读了一遍,艾瑞克抬头看向凯莉,问道:“巴菲特的信你看过了吗?” Kelly shook the head, the doubts said: How?” 凯莉摇了摇头,疑惑道:“怎么了?” You have a look first.” Eric has handed over the Buffett personal letter. “你先看看。”艾瑞克巴菲特的亲笔信递了过来。 Kelly read the content on letter paper rapidly, ponders the moment, said: I thought that does not have the issue, Buffett said very reasonable.” 凯莉迅速将信纸上的内容读了一遍,思考片刻,道:“我觉得没有问题啊,巴菲特说的很有道理。” I do not refer to this. You look at last.” “我不是指这个。你看最后一段。” Kelly last will read, the attractive eyebrow is slightly pressed, thinks, said: Buffett promised that Berkshire Hathaway will stand Firefly firmly, as if no any issue, I thought that this is very good matter.” 凯莉将最后一段读了一遍,好看的眉毛微微蹙起,想了想,还是说道:“巴菲特许诺伯克希尔.哈撒韦会坚定地站在萤火虫这边,似乎也没什么问题啊,我觉得这是很好的事情。” Will pursue the maximization of profit to turn into the Basic Instinct individuality according to Buffett that type. You did not think that this promise was too generous?” “按照巴菲特那种已经将追求利润最大化变成本能的个性。你不觉得这份许诺太慷慨了些吗?” Kelly smiled, said: Eric, you were terribly suspicious and fearful, I thought actually Mr. Buffett such does, more possible settles on your ability, wants to draw Berkshire Hathaway to work as the successor you, hehe.” 凯莉笑了笑,道:“艾瑞克,你太疑神疑鬼了,我倒是觉得巴菲特先生这么做,更可能是看中你的能力,想要把你拉去伯克希尔.哈撒韦当接班人呢,呵呵。” Listened to Kelly the joke, Eric also to smile, no longer intertwined this issue. 听着凯莉的这个玩笑,艾瑞克也跟着笑了起来,不再纠结这个问题。 Glanced over several materials completely again fast, Eric has thought suddenly this morning was put the matter of pigeon by Peter Schneider, gained ground to ask: At today's high-level regular meeting did you see Peter Schneider?” 将几份资料全部重新快速浏览了一遍,艾瑞克突然想到今天早上被彼得.施耐德放鸽子的事情,抬头问道:“今天的高层例会上你看到彼得.施耐德了吗?” Kelly said: No, he and Roy Disney shouldn't arrive at you?” 凯莉道:“没有啊,他和罗伊.迪斯尼两人不是应该到你这边了吗?” Eric knit the brows, said quickly: Kelly, helping me inquire their whereabouts?” 艾瑞克皱了皱眉,很快说道:“凯莉,帮我打听一下他们两个人的行踪?” Kelly notes Eric suddenly becomes the serious look, said: Now?” 凯莉注意到艾瑞克突然变得严肃的神色,道:“现在吗?” Yes, now, immediately.” “是的,现在,马上。” Kelly nodded, puts out the mobile phone and address book, turns looks is starting to telephone. 凯莉点了点头,拿出移动电话和通讯簿,翻找着开始打起了电话。 Eric takes a pen, has written Firefly Group and Disney Animation Department, Ron Perelman, Chris, Buffett, David West wait/etc. information on a scratch paper fast, and connects with his commonly used line the relevant word, has formed a standing net quickly. 艾瑞克则拿起一支笔,快速地在一张草稿纸上写出了萤火虫集团迪斯尼动画部门罗恩.佩雷尔曼克里斯巴菲特大卫.韦斯特等等信息,并且将相关词汇用他常用的线条连接起来,很快形成了一张网。 This standing net middle blank, had filled in another word by Eric quickly. 这张网中间的空白处,很快被艾瑞克填上了另外一个单词。 How long, Kelly then has not put down the telephone, said to Eric: Personal call of their cannot make a connection, I only inquired that Peter Schneider and Roy Disney went to New York, the special details are not quite clear.” 并没有过多久,凯莉便放下了电话,对艾瑞克道:“他们两个本人的私人电话打不通,我只打听到彼得.施耐德罗伊.迪斯尼去了纽约,具体情况不太清楚。” Eric hears New York, understood basically, said: Did not need to look up, they definitely were see Ron Perelman.” 艾瑞克听到纽约,基本是就已经明白了过来,道:“不用查了,他们肯定是去见罗恩.佩雷尔曼了。” Kelly thinks immediately these two management see the Ron Perelman intention, asked: That present what to do?” 凯莉立刻就想到这两位高管去见罗恩.佩雷尔曼的意图,问道:“那现在怎么办?” The Eric smiling face becomes somewhat mysterious. Said: This actually a good opportunity of titing for fat.” 艾瑞克笑容变得有些神秘。道:“这倒是一个以牙还牙的好时机。” Kelly is somewhat bewildered, Eric continues saying: Tomorrow is the 《Charlie's Angels》 premiere?” 凯莉有些莫名其妙,艾瑞克就继续说道:“明天是《霹雳娇娃》的首映礼吧?” Kelly recalled under the Eric schedule, asked: You did not say that did not plan participated?” 凯莉回忆了下艾瑞克的日程表,问道:“你不是说不打算去参加了吗?” Goes, must go. Moreover everybody goes together,” Eric has patted the tabletop gently, said: That three still in Los Angeles old man, New York Chris, making him also fly tomorrow. Un, Katzenberg and Michael Lynn......” “去,一定要去。而且大家一起去,”艾瑞克轻轻拍了拍桌面,道:“那三个还在洛杉矶老头子,还有纽约克里斯,让他明天也飞过来。嗯,还有卡森伯格迈克尔.林恩……” Thinks that Eric has not continued a adding people. 想了想,艾瑞克没有继续加人。 Several people who just mentioned are the Firefly Group close related benefit community. The Buffett three people of shareholder status needless saying that Chris absolutely is also trustworthy, Katzenberg is Firefly next CEO, if he is untrusty, Eric does not need to continue to play in Hollywood. Although final Michael Lynn will soon leave job, but he similarly is the Firefly Group young shareholder. 刚刚提到的几个人都是与萤火虫集团紧密相关的利益共同体。巴菲特三人的股东身份自不必说,克里斯也绝对值得信任,卡森伯格萤火虫的下一任ceo,如果连他都不能信任,艾瑞克也没必要继续在好莱坞玩下去了。最后的迈克尔.林恩虽然即将离职,但他同样是萤火虫集团的小股东。 As for other high levels, Eric cancelled temporarily has informed their thoughts, the person who something that after all in the heart figured out knew the fewer the better. 至于其他高层,艾瑞克暂时打消了告知他们的念头,毕竟心中盘算的某件事知道的人越少越好。 Oh. Probably also has an insider. 。好像还有一个知情人。 The initial that article about 2D Animation profession analysis, Eric requested the assistant office different staff members to collect the different information specially separately, the final compiling work was Kelly is completed personally, therefore also only then she happily sneaked a peek at evidence chain complete picture. Moreover, Kelly takes the status of Eric first assistant, is their present intimate relations, Eric does not want to exclude her. 当初的那份关于2d动画行业分析的文章,艾瑞克特意要求助理办公室不同的职员分别搜集不同信息,最后的汇总工作是凯莉亲自完成的,因此也只有她一个人得意窥见‘证据链’的全貌。而且,无论是凯莉作为艾瑞克第一助理的身份,还是两人现在的亲密关系,艾瑞克都不想将她排斥在外。 Eric looked at eye front Kelly Haynes, said with a smile: You together will also come, to watch the movie tomorrow, everybody chats together.” 艾瑞克看了眼面前的凯莉.海恩斯,笑道:“你明天也一起来,看完电影,大家一起聊聊。” Kelly also realized at this time. Tomorrow only will not look absolutely a movie is so simple, definitely also has any matter soon to occur. However, Eric this trust without hesitation also lets in her entire person heart warm. 凯莉此时也意识到。明天绝对不是只看一场电影那么简单,肯定还有什么事情即将发生。不过,艾瑞克这份毫不犹豫的信任也让她整个人心中暖洋洋的。 „Do I inform them first?” “那我先去通知他们?” Eric shakes the head, said: These telephones are I hit personally. You helped to prepare several opening ceremony invitations to be OK. Moreover, tomorrow do not forget to send a vehicle to meet Buffett they, has Buffett, three old man definitely do not hate to spend, if they ride the rental car to appear outside red carpet, I may unable to throw this person.” 艾瑞克摇头,道:“这些电话还是我亲自来打吧。你帮忙准备几张首映礼邀请函就可以了。另外,明天别忘了派车去接巴菲特他们,有巴菲特在,三个老头子肯定不舍得花钱,万一他们坐出租车出现在红毯外,我可丢不起这个人。” Hehe. Good.” “呵呵。好吧。” ...... …… «The Lion King» after experiencing the first weekend three days 4 more than 6 million USD breaking the record Box Office, the first week seven days, total Box Office has reached 69 million USD astonishing altitudes. Corresponds, only production cost achieves 6 more than 3 million USD western «JAG» first week Box Office, only then over pitiful 10 million, Warner this originally hits is ambushing the «The Lion King» goal big manufacture movie not only cannot complete own mission, instead fell after «The Lion King» «True Lies» and «Star Trek Generations» and «Saving Private Ryan», thoroughly became this fiery summer files cannon fodder work. 狮子王》在经历了首周末三天4600多万美元的破纪录票房后,首周七天,总票房累计达到了6900万美元的惊人高度。相对应的,仅制作成本就达到6300多万美元的西部片《执法悍将》首周票房只有可怜的1000万出头,华纳这部原本打着狙击《狮子王》目的大制作影片不但没能完成自己的‘使命’,反而落在了《狮子王》以外的《真实的谎言》、《星际迷航7》和《拯救大兵瑞恩》之后,彻底成为这个火热暑期档的炮灰作品。 Facing surpassing the direct loss of 70 million USD, to the shareholder a confession, Warner involves «JAG» Director, Producer as well as the corresponding several management have become after Paramount «Beverly Hills Cop 3», Hollywood dismissal season second batch of bad luck eggs. 面对超过7000万美元的直接损失,为了给股东一个交代,华纳牵扯到《执法悍将》的导演制作人以及相应的几名高管成了继派拉蒙比弗利山警探3》之后,好莱坞‘开除季’的第二批倒霉蛋。 Eric have not expected before «Waterworld», Kevin Costner experienced being quietly throws miserably, «Mission: Impossible» first of this space and time entered the later period to manufacture, Eric has watched the preview in detail, his Ethan Hunt as well as Brian De Palma the shoots achievement to Kevin Costner version is very satisfied. 艾瑞克自己也没有料到在《未来水世界》之前,凯文.科斯特纳就已经经历了一次悄无声息的惨扑,这一时空的《碟中谍》首部已经进入了后期制作,艾瑞克详细看过样片,他对凯文.科斯特纳版的伊桑.亨特以及布莱恩.德.帕尔马拍摄成果还是非常满意的。 Therefore, can point of Eric only worry after «JAG», is only «Waterworld» therefore Huang Diao, if no this movie catching up, that Flower Films must certainly facing the Kevin Costner lion opens the mouth in the «Mission: Impossible» sequel greatly. 因此,艾瑞克在《执法悍将》之后唯一担心的一点,只是《未来水世界》会不会因此黄掉,要是没有这部影片‘发力’,那花朵影业肯定要在《碟中谍》续集上面对凯文.科斯特纳的狮子大开口了。 July previous the day, update 《Charlie's Angels》 of Eric leadership has held the grand premiere in Los Angeles in secret. 七月份的前一天,艾瑞克暗中主导的新版《霹雳娇娃》洛杉矶举办了盛大的首映礼。 Metro Goldwyn Mayer after experiencing 1988 《Rain Man》, already continuously quiet six years, in this period majority of year release movie over ten, the Box Office broken hundred million movies were not one do not have.

Regarding this movie, Eric has put enough thoughts, from script to Actor, personally assigns to the producers by Eric according to the memory from Director, to the movie manufacture the participation of progress and final editing also goes far beyond other movies. 相对于米高梅高层、里昂信贷银行以及梦工厂制片公司的欧洲各大股东或紧张或忧虑或期待的各样心思,艾瑞克的心情反而是比较轻松的。对于这部影片,艾瑞克已经花了足够的心思,从剧本演员,从导演到制片人都由艾瑞克根据记忆亲自指定,对影片制作进度和最终剪辑的参与也远远超过其他电影。 From update 《Charlie's Angels》 several preview effects, the movie person and ordinary viewers who participated in the preview has given enough high praise, if this movie were still defeated, that can only say that the heaven did not bless Metro Goldwyn Mayer. 从新版《霹雳娇娃》的几次试映效果来看,参与试映的影片人和普通观众都给予了足够的好评,如果这部影片仍然失败,那只能说苍天不佑米高梅了。 Since as for Eric, rebirth he experienced so many glory, although he has not changed arrives to start to anticipate to be defeated, but will not be defeated absolutely frightened. 至于艾瑞克自己,重生以来他已经经历了如此多的荣耀,虽然他并没有变太到开始期待失败,但也绝对不会恐惧失败。 Although this has not participated in the plan of premiere, but since changes the thoughts to appear at the scene, Eric also fulfilled duty to fulfill responsibility makes fully the stance.
