A piece silent, «The Lion King» some Director Roger Allers unwilling hearts asked as before: „Mr. Williams, you just really said that can be Disney Animation Department trades new Boss?” 一片沉默中,《狮子王》的导演罗杰.爱勒斯依旧有些不甘心地问道:“威廉姆斯先生,你刚刚真的是说,要为迪斯尼动画部门换一个新老板吗？” „It is not Disney Animation Department,” Eric aggravated ‚Disney’ pronunciation, said: „Is more accurate, I planned that the Hand-Drawn Animation Department overall sell, Disney this brand belongs to Firefly, nobody can take away. ●⌒,” “不是迪斯尼动画部门,”艾瑞克加重了‘迪斯尼’的发音,道:“确切一些,我打算将手绘动画部门整体出售,迪斯尼这个品牌属于萤火虫,没有人可以拿走。●⌒,” Silence in the middle of again, Peter Schneider suddenly feels an intense sense of crisis, if Eric Disney Animation Department does not care, before he and Roy Disney, these matters that handles, but also there is any significance, what is more important, lost Disney Animation Department this depending on, they...... 再一次的沉默当中,彼得.施耐德突然感到一种强烈的危机感,如果艾瑞克连迪斯尼动画部门都不在乎了,那他和罗伊.迪斯尼之前做的那些事情,还有什么意义,更重要的是,失去了迪斯尼动画部门这个倚仗,他们两个人…… Worry in heart changes into fear gradually, Peter Schneider stands up from the seat suddenly, points at Eric to exclaim loudly: „No, you, Eric Williams, you will not sell out Disney Animation Department absolutely, you want to force us to yield, we will be will not yield absolutely, cannot absolutely.” 心中的担忧逐渐化为恐惧,彼得.施耐德突然从座位上站起身,指着艾瑞克大声吼道:“不,你不会的,艾瑞克.威廉姆斯,你绝对不会把迪斯尼动画部门卖掉的,你只是想要强迫我们让步而已,我们是绝对不会让步的,绝对不会。” Eric unemotionally is looking at Peter Schneider of some hysterias, said to female assistant: „Kelly, goes to shout the security.” 艾瑞克面无表情地望着有些歇斯底里的彼得.施耐德,对身旁的女助理道:“凯莉,去把保安喊进来。” Kelly looked at Peter Schneider, set out to go out of the conference room. 凯莉看了眼彼得.施耐德,起身走出了会议室。 After Kelly leaves, Eric said to Peter Schneider: „Either sits down to continue this conference, either exits to me, or I make the security throw you.” 凯莉离开后,艾瑞克对彼得.施耐德道:“要么坐下继续这场会议,要么给我出去,或者我让保安把你扔出去。” The Peter Schneider complexion clenched teeth embarrassedly, has refused to compromise for several seconds, sat dejected. 彼得.施耐德脸色难堪至极地咬了咬牙,僵持了几秒钟,还是颓然坐了下来。 To the malpractice of Peter Schneider, in the heart of Roy Disney is more shocking, but, thinks that saw storm Roy Disney to understand was at this time, was calm on exceed, he thought similarly that perhaps Eric wanted to force blustering of Animation Department concessions, has thought. Roy Disney asked: „Mr. Williams, you thought that didn't have Animation Department Disney also to be Disney?” 相对于彼得.施耐德的失态,罗伊.迪斯尼的心中更加震惊,不过,自认为见惯了风浪的罗伊.迪斯尼明白越是这种时候,就越要镇定,他同样觉得,艾瑞克或许只是想要强迫动画部门让步的虚张声势,思索了一番。罗伊.迪斯尼才问道:“威廉姆斯先生,你觉得没有了动画部门的迪斯尼还能算是迪斯尼吗？” Eric sighed suddenly, for a long time, these people have not made clear his thoughts: „Disney will forever have Animation Department. But will not adopt the Hand-Drawn Animation way manufacture animated film again. Moreover, Disney will preserve situated in Canada, Australia and other cartoon work rooms, continuation is Disney Channel provides the television animation. Just, the Disney's animated film, will change the 3D figure manufacture comprehensively.” 艾瑞克突然叹了口气,这么长时间了,这些人还是没有搞清楚他的心思:“迪斯尼永远都会有动画部门的。只不过不会再采取手绘动画的方式制作动画电影了。而且,迪斯尼将保存位于加拿大、澳大利亚等几个卡通工作室,继续为迪斯尼频道提供电视动画。只不过,迪斯尼的动画电影,将全面转向3d数字制作。” Roy Disney hears Eric to say afterward plan calmly. Thump, in the surface actually as before calmly in more than ten toward the conference room personally has hinted at heart, said: „Therefore, you plan us, is the Hand-Drawn Animation Department more than 700 people completely packs to sell out, hehe, even if you do not plan to continue to preserve Hand-Drawn Animation Department, you think that our being resigned will make you regard the chip to sell out?” 罗伊.迪斯尼听到艾瑞克语气平静地说出随后的计划。心里咯噔一下,表面上却依旧镇定地朝会议室里十多个人示意了下,道:“所以,你打算把我们,也就是手绘动画部门的700多人全部打包卖掉,呵呵,即使你真的不打算继续保存手绘动画部门,难道你以为,我们会甘心让你当成筹码卖掉吗？” Roy Disney these words give to fall into a dejected people shot immediately, all Animation Department management flashing eyes look to Eric. As if so long as Eric said any improper words, they will not resign immediately dry, making Animation Department turn into a good for nothing spatial shell. 罗伊.迪斯尼的这句话立刻给陷入颓然的众人一记强心针,所有动画部门管理层都目光炯炯地看向艾瑞克。仿佛艾瑞克只要说出什么不妥话,他们立刻就会辞职不干,让动画部门变成一个毫无价值的空壳子。 Hand-Drawn Animation and computer animation has very big difference, the manufacture of computer animation not only needs the skilled digital animator, contains the tools software and the technical support department massive technological patent, therefore the digital animator wants to change job is actually not that easy matter. But Hand-Drawn Animation in the final analysis is a technique content not too high industry, an animator trains for several years to participate in the manufacture of Hand-Drawn Animation, even if left the original company, the Hand-Drawn Animation master can also continue own occupation without a hitch. 手绘动画与电脑动画有着很大的不同,电脑动画的制作不但需要熟练的数字动画师,还有包含大量技术专利的工具软件和技术支持部门,所以数字动画师想要跳槽却不是那么容易的事情。但手绘动画说到底是一个技术含量并不算太高的产业,一个动画师训练几年就可以参与到手绘动画的制作,而且即使离开了原公司,手绘动画师也可以毫无障碍地继续自己的职业。 Eric is certainly clear these, looks to fix the eyes on own more than ten eyes. Eric smiled, is stroking gently the folder on tabletop, said: „Everybody did not need to probe again mutually, abrogated the decision of Disney Hand-Drawn Animation Department to obtain beyond the Firefly system Warren Buffett, Tom Murphy and agreements of David West these three directors. Therefore currently this resolution will again not have any accident.” 艾瑞克当然清楚这些,看着紧盯自己的十多双眼睛。艾瑞克笑了笑,摩挲着桌面上的文件夹,道:“大家不用再相互试探了,裁撤迪斯尼手绘动画部门的决定已经得到了萤火虫体系外沃伦.巴菲特、汤姆.墨菲和大卫.韦斯特这三位董事的同意。所以现在这份决议不会再有任何意外。” In the conference room presents a show to be frozen again, but, does not have anybody anger to the situation of slamming a door going to finally, glares angrily including Peter Schneider that was just in an uncontrollable rage is staring Eric. 会议室里再次出现一阵骚冻,不过,最终却没有任何人愤怒到摔门而去的地步,连刚刚怒不可遏的彼得.施耐德都只是怒目圆睁地瞪着艾瑞克。 Eric waited for patiently the people are once more peaceful , to continue saying: „, Said first fault that you resign on own initiative. You can all leave. Turns into a not any value Animation Department the spatial shell, this will not cause any harm to Firefly. But then, we come up with the most complete hypothesis, you found one completely to agree that you initially to the new employer of rich condition Firefly proposed, average monthly salary over ten thousand, brand-new work campus anything. Then, this negotiations at least need six months, six months later, you will need all from the beginning to start as before, form a new animation department, starts to make the development project, seeks for the appropriate animation project, this will be six months. The earlier preparation of animation project, how long everybody really clearly needs this time, moreover is indefinite, perhaps, leaves from you to the first part animation on own initiative starts the producuction process, is two years later, the fabrication time at least takes two years, your new Animation Department put out the first part animated film, perhaps is four years later. Does not need to suspect, if you remember that is very good, should remember clearly that from Michael Eisner decided how long promoted Animation Department has used to the «The Little Mermaid» release, five years, I also helped you reduce for one year. Therefore, according to salary condition that you put forward, entire Animation Department at least needs to spend 100 million USD to be able every year to maintain the operation, four years were four hundred million USD, enough produced five big manufacture movies. At that time, animated film that you put out if has not achieved «The Lion King» this shocking effect, thinks to wait for patiently four years invested in the new master heart of big fund to be any ideas, you should be clear, «The Lion King» was an accident, the average standard of Disney Animation Department, should be «Aladdin» and «Beauty and the Beast» these movies. Therefore, they 90% may be disappointed, is reduces the Animation Department disbursement, the budget reduces, the animated film quality was affected, immediately is a common vicious circle.” 艾瑞克耐心地等待众人再次安静下来,继续说道:“那么,先说说你们主动辞职的坏处吧。你们可以全部离开。把动画部门变成一个没有任何价值的空壳子,这对萤火虫根本不会造成任何损害。但接下来,我们做一个最圆满的假设,你们找到了一个完全同意你们当初向萤火虫提出的丰厚条件的新雇主,平均月薪过万啊、崭新的工作园区啊什么的。那么,这份谈判至少需要半年时间,半年之后,你们依旧需要一切从头开始,组建一个新的动画制作部门,开始做发展规划,寻找合适的动画项目,这将又是半年时间。紧接着,动画项目的前期筹划,这个时间大家都很清楚需要多久,而且非常不确定,或许,从你们主动离开到第一部动画开始制作过程,已经是两年以后,制作时间至少需要两年,那么,你们的新动画部门拿出第一部动画电影,或许已经是四年以后。不用怀疑,如果你们记忆里很好的话,应该清楚记得,从迈克尔.艾斯纳决定振兴动画部门到《小美人鱼》发行用了多久,五年,我还帮你们缩短了一年时间。所以,按照你们提出的薪酬条件,整个动画部门每年至少需要花掉一亿美元才能维持运作,四年时间就是四亿美元,足够制作五部大制作影片了。那时候,你们拿出的动画电影如果没有达到《狮子王》这种惊艳效果的话,想想耐心等待了四年又投入了大笔资金的新东家心中会是什么想法吧,你们都应该清楚,《狮子王》是一个意外,迪斯尼动画部门的平均水准,应该是《阿拉丁》、《美女与野兽》这些影片。所以,他们90的可能会非常非常失望,然后就是缩减动画部门支出,预算减少,动画电影质量受到影响,随即就是一个常见的恶性循环。” Said here, Eric suspended, what response as if waiting for the conference room the arrogance in the people who will not have will present, but, Eric also affirmed that they will not have any excited response again, because he just said completely will be the facts. In original space and time. After Katzenberg left the Disney independence gateway, poached a group of people to establish the DreamWorks animation from the Disney animation, established the first part «The Prince of Egypt» release from the DreamWorks animation has just used the entire four years, moreover «The Prince of Egypt» Box Office was also tepid. DreamWorks second part animated film «Shrek» pushed the origin to pass the entire three years. If not «Shrek» Box Office explodes luckily greatly, seven years only completed the DreamWorks animations of two animated films definitely only to close to disband to end. 说完这里,艾瑞克暂停了一下,似乎在等待会议室里气焰全无的众人会出现什么样的反应,不过,艾瑞克也非常肯定他们不会再产生什么激动的反应,因为他刚刚说的全部都是事实。原时空中。卡森伯格离开了迪斯尼自立门户后,就是从迪斯尼动画挖走了一批人成立了梦工厂动画,从梦工厂动画成立到第一部《埃及王子》发行刚好用了整整四年时间,而且《埃及王子》的票房也不温不火。梦工厂的第二部动画电影《怪物史莱克》推出则又过去了整整三年。如果不是《怪物史莱克》幸运地票房大爆,七年时间只完成了两部动画电影的梦工厂动画肯定只能以关门散伙收场。 Waited for a while, Eric to pat under the palm gently, said: „Sorry, forgave me to look like words many villains a moment ago. Oh, is not right, my today's role probably is words many villains, but, I must add a point, the words that you change job, belong actively violate the labor contract, because originally «The Lion King» Box Office succeeded the year's end that and should have to draw bonus did not have, this year-end bonus should be equal to most people over a half year wages.” 等了一会儿,艾瑞克轻轻拍了下手掌,道:“抱歉,原谅我刚才像一个话多的反派。哦,不对,我今天的角色好像就是一个话多的反派,不过,我还要补充一点,你们跳槽的话,属于主动违反劳工合约,原本因为《狮子王》票房成功而本该产生的年终分红也没有了,这笔年终奖应该相当于大部分人半年以上的工资。” Sits dry asks Eric nearby Roger Allers expression: „Mr. Williams, we can know why you insisted can cancel the 2D Animation manufacture?” 坐在艾瑞克附近的罗杰.爱勒斯语气干涩地问道:“威廉姆斯先生,我们可以知道你为什么坚持要取消2d动画制作吗？” „Replaces the artificial spinner like the steam spinner. The electrically operated spinner replaces the steam spinner to be the same, this is the inevitable trend of technology development. The 3D Animation movie has too many superiority, naturally, this point can only show by the time, if several years later you discovered that actually I am wrong, then you can in ridicule me heartily. But now, I insisted that own judgment, I also give everybody enough time to transform. But recently these matters made me realize that everybody does what is right quite well.” “就像蒸汽纺织机代替人工纺织机。电动纺织机又代替蒸汽纺织机一样,这是技术发展的必然趋势。3d动画电影有着太多的优势,当然,这一点只能由时间来证明,如果几年后你们发现其实我是错的,那么你们可以尽情地在来嘲笑我。但现在,我坚持自己的判断,我也给过大家足够的时间来转变。但最近这些事情让我意识到,大家还是各行其是比较好。” Roger Allers looked at being silent Roy Disney and Peter Schneider, sighed. Has not said anything again. 罗杰.爱勒斯看了眼沉默不语的罗伊.迪斯尼和彼得.施耐德,叹了口气。没有再说什么。 Eric will certainly not take to give these people to look that exhaustive material that sees nobody to ask anything again , to continue saying: „Now, we again chat the advantage of Animation Department pack sell. First, even if you left, belongs in your hands that your «The Lion King» profit draws bonus can provide as before. Next, you can the unified and new master carry on the treatment to negotiate, believes the treatment that obtains definitely reached an agreement compared with your each one a lot. Once more, you can carry off Animation Department to arrange to be in the manufacture stage well immediately several 2D Animation projects. I have a look, Oh, «Sound of the Desert» and «Mulan» also has 《Tarzan》, these are very good creativities. Moreover, you can also carry off «The Lion King» and «Beauty and the Beast» and sequels of «Aladdin» these 2D Animation movies manufacture copyright, these very big degree will reduce you to devote the time of result.” 艾瑞克当然不会将那份详尽的资料拿出来给这些人看,见没人再问什么,就继续道:“现在,我们再谈谈将动画部门打包出售的好处。首先,即使你们离开了,属于你们的那份《狮子王》利润分红依旧会发放的你们手中。其次,你们可以统一与新东家进行待遇谈判,相信获得的待遇肯定比你们各自去谈好得多。再次,你们可以带走动画部门已经筹备好可以立刻进入制作阶段的几部2d动画项目。我看看,哦,《风中奇缘》、《木兰》还有《泰山》,这些都是非常棒的创意。而且,你们还可以带走《狮子王》、《美女与野兽》和《阿拉丁》这几部2d动画电影的续集制作版权,这些都将很大程度缩短你们拿出成绩的时间。” A piece is astonished the vision in however, Roger Allers asked with expression an unbelievable: „Mr. Williams, you determined that doesn't crack a joke again?” 一片讶然的目光中,罗杰.爱勒斯用一种难以置信地语气问道:“威廉姆斯先生,你确定不是再开玩笑吗？” If Eric decided resolutely sells Disney Animation Department to make the people feel he is not normal, making them bring «The Lion King» copyright leaves, immediately gave people thoroughly him already insane feeling. 如果艾瑞克毅然决定出售迪斯尼动画部门已经让众人感觉他不正常了的话,让他们带着《狮子王》的版权离开,顿时给人一种他已经彻底疯了的感觉。 Eric naturally not insane, but explained calmly: „I have not certainly cracked a joke, but, you can carry off, but «The Lion King» these movie very pure sequels manufacture copyright, your new employers only have to use these copyright manufacture sequels, and distributes the authority of profit through the movie, « The Lion King " and other movie of cartoon vivid and peripheral development and other authorities belong to Firefly as before.” 艾瑞克当然没有疯,而是非常冷静地解释道:“我当然没有开玩笑,不过,你们能够带走的,只是《狮子王》这几部影片非常单纯的续集制作版权,你们的新雇主只拥有利用这些版权制作续集并且通过电影发行盈利的权力,《狮子王》等影片的卡通形象、周边开发等权力依旧属于萤火虫。” Although in the original space and time «The Lion King» global Box Office surpasses nine hundred million USD, the sequel had been distributed the recording tape as before directly. 虽然原时空中《狮子王》全球票房超过九亿美元,续集依旧被直接发行了录像带。 However, Eric believes if now attained the sequel to manufacture copyright, even if did not have peripheral and other development authorities, under the stimulation of «The Lion King» global nine hundred million USD Box Office, other Film Studio will develop the sequel big movie absolutely without hesitation. At that time, Firefly can sell through the influence that these sequel movies brought as before greatly peripheral. 不过,艾瑞克相信现在如果拿到了续集制作版权,哪怕没有周边等开发权力,在《狮子王》全球九亿美元票房的刺激下,其他电影公司绝对会毫不犹豫地开发续集大电影。那个时候,萤火虫依旧可以通过这些续集电影带来的影响力大卖周边。 By the trend that «The Lion King» present global Box Office erupts, Roger Allers can also realize Eric this condition harsh and tempts the place of goods coexisting, simultaneously he started cannot help but to ponder over the «The Lion King» sequel the plot. 以《狮子王》现在的全球票房爆发的趋势,罗杰.爱勒斯也能够体会到艾瑞克这个条件的苛刻和诱货并存之处,同时他心里已经开始不由自主地琢磨《狮子王》续集的剧情。 „That, finally, after the Animation Department pack sells is successful, you can the total transaction 5% as the reward, this point any precedent, have not been Firefly is resigned for you as the one compensatory payment of this transaction chip.” “那么,最后一点,在动画部门打包出售成功之后,你们可以得到总交易金额的5%作为奖励,这一点没有任何先例,算是萤火虫为你们甘心作为这笔交易筹码的一种补偿金。” If Eric proposed first this condition, definitely will cause the intense repugnance, but, the people do not have too to resist the psychology now. Silent long time Peter Schneider said: „Mr. Williams, 5% makes up...... The bonus were too few.” 如果艾瑞克最先提出这项条件,肯定会引起强烈的反感,不过,现在众人却没有了太多抗拒心理。已经沉默良久的彼得.施耐德道:“威廉姆斯先生,5%的补……奖金太少了。” „The Animation Department staff average yearly salary probably is five ten thousand USD, if this Animation Department sells to 1 billion USD, the compensation of your on average possession will be seven ten thousand USD, will be equal to 16 months of wages, in addition the reward of «The Lion King» will draw bonus, everyone will be equal to the acquired beforehand two years of wage on average.” Eric explained that the corners of the mouth hung are sneering to look to Peter Schneider, said: „Moreover, Mr. Schneider, you, Mr. Roy Disney, in this reward list, this is not the last resolution that this conference I must announce, from now on, you were dismissed!” “动画部门的员工平均年薪大概是五万美元,如果这次动画部门卖到10亿美元,你们平均拿到的补偿将是七万美元,相当于16个月的工资,加上《狮子王》的奖励分红,每个人平均相当于获得以前两年的薪水。”艾瑞克解释完,嘴角挂着冷笑看向彼得.施耐德,道:“而且,施耐德先生,你,还有罗伊.迪斯尼先生,并不在这份奖励名单之列,这也是这次会议我要宣布的最后一项决议,从现在开始,你们被解雇了！” ...... …… After Firefly Group will pack sold the Hand-Drawn Animation Department news on the same day the conference, rapidly has detonated entire Hollywood. And obtained the official confirmation on next day 《Los Angeles Times》, Firefly one month later, will carry on public bidding in the form of public auction. 萤火虫集团将打包出售手绘动画部门的消息当天会议之后,就迅速引爆了整个好莱坞。并且在第二天的《洛杉矶时报》上得到了正式的确认,萤火虫将在一个月后,以公开拍卖的形式进行公开竞标。 Firefly responded to the Firefly creditor alliance to move into the request of group Board of Directors by the unprecedented hardline attitude. 紧接着,萤火虫以前所未有的强硬姿态回应了萤火虫债权人联盟入驻集团董事会的要求。 In issued continuously Firefly Group in the first half of 1994 wealth report, in the second half of the year profit anticipated as well as with Condé Nast Publications after the large amount transaction of paper intermediary property 1.52 billion USD, the Firefly Group spokesman openly said that the fund that including will soon sell Hand-Drawn Animation Department that brings, Firefly Group at the end of 1994 the anticipated not operational free cash flow will not be lower than 3 billion USD, this fully explained the Firefly Group outstanding operation and financial status. 在连续发布萤火虫集团1994年上半年财报,下半年盈利预期以及与康泰纳仕集团关于纸媒资产15.2亿美元的巨额交易后,萤火虫集团发言人公开表示,包括即将出售的手绘动画部门带来的资金,萤火虫集团1994年年底预期的非经营性自由现金流将不低于30亿美元,这足以说明萤火虫集团优秀的运营和财务状态。 Firefly Group meets discloses the related operation and financial information to the creditor regularly, but does not need the creditor director to participate in company's management, if the creditor's rights organization worries about the investment security as before, Firefly Group is willing to start the bond buy-back measure ahead of time.( To be continued.) 萤火虫集团会定期向债权人透露相关的运营和财务信息,但并不需要债权人董事参与公司的管理,如果债权机构依旧担忧投资安全,萤火虫集团非常愿意提前启动债券回购措施。(未完待续。)
