在艾瑞克的强烈坚持下,与高通的注资谈判最终赶在1月21日金球奖颁奖典礼的当天正式敲定。
The Qualcommshareholder and managementalsounderstands that is earlierandpowerfulFireflyreaches the agreement, topromoting the CDMAtechnologyis more advantageous, thereforenotbecause of the Fireflyurgentmanner, butlionbigstart to talk, but the requestachieves the previousday of Qualcommstock priceto determine the Fireflyfinalcapitalquotaaccording to the transaction.高通的股东和管理层也明白越早与实力雄厚的萤火虫达成协议,对推广cdma技术越有利,因此并没有因为萤火虫紧迫的态度而狮子大开口,只是要求按照交易达成前一天的高通股价确定萤火虫的最终注资额度。
After the news that FireflyandQualcommcontactspreads, inQualcommstock priceshortoneweekrises sharply21%, achieveseach.8USD, the Fireflyinvestmentneedsto be the 10 millionstockstock that finally the Qualcommdirection detectionissues additionallypays238 millionUSD, thispriceis far fromexceeding the Ericwithstandingrange, therefore, hepersonallyrushes toSan DiegofromLos Angelesvery early in the morning.萤火虫与高通接触的消息传出后,高通股价短短一星期内大涨21%,达到每股.8美元,萤火虫投资最终需要为高通定向增发的1000万股股票支付2.38亿美元,这个价格远远没有超过艾瑞克的承受范围,于是,他一大早就亲自从洛杉矶赶到圣迭戈。In the morningholds the signing ceremony, Eric, Chris and QualcommIrvineJacoband otherhigh levelsthensneak in the conference roomdiscussionnextstepplan.
上午举行完签字仪式,艾瑞克、克里斯与高通的欧文・雅各布等高层便钻进会议室里讨论下一步的计划。Discussedin detailCDMAequipmentplant constructionplanaftertelecom operator the lobbystrategyas well asQualcomm, isafternoonfiveo'clock.
详细讨论完对电信运营商的游说策略以及高通cdma设备工厂建造计划后,已经是下午五点钟。ChrisandIrvineJacobtheyagreed on the tomorrow'smeetingtimewithVerizonCEObefore this, after theirafternoonconferencesended, impatientlymountedflew to the New YorkVerizonHeadquartersairplane.

拿下高通,艾瑞克在已经开始崛起的高新技术产业中再次布下了一枚重要棋子。Inoriginalspace and time, Qualcomm, althoughcompared withhadCisco, Yahoo of timeand other high-tech corporationsto wantobscuremanyat the height of power, butin fact, Qualcomm is actually intheseenterprisesinside storydeepestone, becauseithas almost monopolizedentireonegeneration of two-way charges for cellular phonestechnologies, that day that even if the bitter experiencedeclinesreallycarelessly, canrespond the proverb of thatbrokenshipalso3000nails, the authorizedexpenses of several thousandpatentsin the dependencehandhasmerely, canfish for the bigprofitevery yearsteadily.
原时空中,高通虽然比曾经拥有过自己如日中天时刻的思科、雅虎等高科技企业要默默无闻的多,但实际上,高通却是这些企业中底蕴最深厚的一个,因为它几乎完全垄断了整整一代的移动通讯技术,哪怕真的不慎遭遇没落的那一天,也能应着那句破船还有3000钉的老话,仅仅依靠手中持有的数千份专利的授权费用,每年都能稳稳地捞取大笔利润。Thinks ofthese, the Erictrain of thoughtchangesCisco, Yahoo, NokiaandAOL that severalcompaniesFireflyinvestshave. Ifaccording tohistorical developmentadvancementoriginally, except forCisco, remainingthreecompaniesgraduallywill declineinsomefutureyears.
想到这些,艾瑞克思绪不由地转向萤火虫投资旗下已经拥有的思科、雅虎、诺基亚和美国在线几家公司。如果按照原本的历史发展进程,除了思科,剩下三家公司将在未来一些年里逐渐没落。WhyEriclookswill come the relatedNokialoudlydeclinefrom now on the article, thesehigh-tech corporationsindeveloping process.

Hecanmakethesecompanieswalkon the correctpath.艾瑞克看过后来有关诺基亚为何轰然衰落的文章,这些高科技企业在发展过程中。既不缺少资金,也不缺少技术,其衰落的根本原因还是在企业发展方向上出现了重大失误。只要能够保持对手中这些公司足够的控制力,凭借重生者的优势,艾瑞克自信至少在未来20年内。他能够让这些公司走在正确的道路上。BlackRolls-Roycespeeds along the Pacific Rimhighway between Los AngelesandSan Diego, the setting suncreakiesin the sea level of distant place, dyes the grandred-orangeall in field of vision.
黑色劳斯莱斯飞驰在洛杉矶与圣迭戈之间的环太平洋高速公路上,夕阳在远方的海平面上摇摇欲坠,将视野内的一切染成壮丽的橘红色。In the compartment, Ericall the waymaintains the stance that closes/obsctructseyeis pondering, sitshas not then disturbedinnearbyKelly, in glances throughto beginpeacefully a document.
车厢里,艾瑞克一路上保持着闭目沉思的姿态,坐在旁边的凯莉便没有打扰,安静地翻阅着手里的一份文件。Has not knownhow long, noted the Ericopening eyesstiffbody, Kellygains groundto asksuddenly: „Eric, how?”
不知道过了多久,注意到艾瑞克突然睁开眼挺直身体,凯莉抬起头问道:“艾瑞克,怎么了?”Ericturns headto ask that Kellysaid: „Iremember that couple days agosaw a merger and acquisitionplan that the Ciscohigh levelsubmits, do youstillremember?”艾瑞克扭头问凯莉道:“我记得前几天看到思科高层提交的一份并购方案,你还记得吗?”Kellynods: „Un. That sideplanmergesoneto be located in the network switchingcompany in Seattle, the price of preliminary talkis1.9 billionUSD, withway of splitoffmerger and acquisition.”凯莉点头:“嗯。那边打算并购一家位于西雅图的网络交换机公司,初步谈判的价格是19亿美元,采用换股并购的方式。”„After thistransaction, how manyour is the ownership percentage?”
“这次交易之后我们的持股比例是多少?”Kellyhas thought deeply about the moment, said: „Ciscocurrentstock valueisabout16billionUSD, after the merger and acquisition, over18billion, ourownership percentagesfrom%will drop to20.5%.”凯莉思索了片刻,道:“思科当前的股票市值为160亿美元左右,并购之后将会超过180亿,我们的持股比例从%降至20.5%。”Ericshook the head, although the ownership percentagedrops to20.5%, Fireflyas beforeis the Ciscofirstmajor stockholder, but the controlling forcewill be also getting more and more weak, althoughprevious lifeCiscois maintaining the powerfulprofessionstatus. Ericwill not meddle the business managementdesirably, buthealsorealized that cannotcontinuationmakeFireflyinvest the Ciscorights in handto be dilutedagain, even ifthisdilutedstockin the futureas beforeis an enormous wealth.艾瑞克摇了摇头,虽然持股比例降至20.5%,萤火虫依旧是思科第一大股东,但控制力也将越来越弱,虽然前世思科一直保持着强势的行业地位。艾瑞克也不会刻意插手企业管理,但他也意识到不能再继续让萤火虫投资手中的思科权益被稀释下去,即使这笔被稀释后的股份将来依旧是一笔巨额财富。
„ Cannotfallagain, no. Not onlycannotfallagain, we must increaseonce morehold the Ciscostock, youwill relateChristomorrow, making the Ciscomanagementchange the way of thismerger and acquisition, transforms the cashto add the owning stocksway and ensure ourstockscannotbe dilutedagain. Moreoveryoudiscussedagainincreasesholds the plan. Had better be ableourownership percentages as pull-upas30%. „
“不能再降了,不。不但不能再降,我们还要再次增持思科股份,你明天联系克里斯,让思科管理层改变这次并购的方式,转换成现金加持股方式,确保我们的股份不能再次被稀释。另外你们再讨论一份增持方案。最好能够将我们的持股比例拉升到30%。“
The Kellydoubtssaid: „Eric, youare not the planned investmenttelecommunicationindustry, according toVerizon and Sprintcurrentscale, inthemanycomplies with the investment of Firefly, fund that needsover1billionUSD. Ifsaidaccording toyouCiscoownership percentage as pull-upas30%, considered that the premiumfactor, veryprobablyneedsto invest2billionUSDfund, moreovernotnecessarilyhas the investment institutionto be willingto transfer the stock in hand.”凯莉疑惑道:“艾瑞克,你不是计划投资电信产业吗,按照ve日zon和sp日nt当前的规模,它们之中的任何一个答应萤火虫的投资,需要的资金都将超过10亿美元。如果按照你说的将思科持股比例拉升到30%,考虑到溢价因素,很可能需要投入20亿美元资金,而且还不一定有投资机构愿意转让手中的股份。”Ericat heartgenerous, 2billionUSD, areseveraltimes of Fireflyinitial investmentCiscoamount, but can only attain the stock that 10%do not arrive at this time, it seems like, ‚pickedleaked’ the auspicious day to never to return. Butconsidered that Ciscofuturevalue, the investment at this timesupplementingis worthabsolutely.艾瑞克心里不由慷慨了一句,20亿美元啊,是萤火虫最初投资思科金额的十几倍,但此时只能拿到10%不到的股份,看来以后‘捡漏’的好日子就要一去不复返了。但考虑到思科将来的价值,此时追加的投资绝对是值得的。Firefly Groupjustexperienced a profitrichfiscal year, the Ericsegmentum anteriusday are too manyin the feelingmoney, now discovered that to continueto expand, the fund in handisby farinsufficient.

Likecold war era'swar, occasionallyhasseveralsurprise-attack forcesto fight several campaigns of defeating a numerically superior enemy, ifhas been thinkingdefeating the enemy by a surprise attack, finallyonlypossiblycollapses completely.萤火虫集团刚刚经历了一个盈利丰厚的财年,艾瑞克前段日子还在感慨钱太多,现在发现,如果想要继续扩张下去,手里的资金还是远远不够。以往艾瑞克也不是没有产生过一些大笔投资的念头,但总是下意识觉得受益不够高而有些抗拒,不过,他此时也产生一种豁然开朗的感觉,一直想着要‘捡漏’,绝对不是正确的投资思维,而是投机。就像冷兵器时代的战争,偶尔出几次奇兵打几场以少胜多的战役还可以,如果一直想着出奇制胜,最终只可能一败涂地。„The profit of Firefly Groupshouldbe ableto deal withtheseplans, even if insufficient, Iwill also consider that carries onfinancingfromotherchannels, youdoby all meansand that's the end.”
“萤火虫集团的盈利应该能够应付这些计划,即使不够,我也会考虑从其他渠道进行融资的,你们只管做就是了。”Kellynodded, the instruction of Ericin the memorandum, looked atout of the window, immediatelymustenter the Los Angelesurban district, asked: „Eric, the Golden Globe Awardpresentation ceremonyshouldstart, do youwantto go toHilton Hotel?”凯莉点了点头,将艾瑞克的吩咐记在备忘录里,看了看窗外,马上就要进入洛杉矶市区,问道:“艾瑞克,金球奖颁奖典礼应该已经开始了,你要去希尔顿酒店吗?”Out of the windowis the dim light of nightis dim, Ericlooked at the watch, 7 : 30.

窗外已经是夜色朦胧,艾瑞克看了看手表,七点半。以他的身份,就算这个时候赶过去,也不会被拦在宴会厅外,但实在没有这个必要。看了看身旁一身黑色西装套裙散发着知性气息的女助理,艾瑞克笑着问道:“我就不去凑热闹了,妮娜今天在寄宿学校吗?”Kellycomplexiononered, noddedgently.凯莉脸色一红,轻轻点了点头。„Wefind a placeto have the supperfirst, thengoes toyourthere.”
“那我们先找个地方吃晚餐,然后去你那里。”

女助理捏了捏衣角。脸颊粉润,声若蚊蝇:“还是,直接去我那里吧,在外面吃很容易被人碰到……”„Does not have the issue, listensyour.”
“没问题,听你的。”

“毫无疑问,也无关电影,这只是又一次男性的胜利。《勇敢的心》这样一部充斥着虚构史实的自以为是影片,完全战胜了比它要出色十倍百倍的《拯救大兵瑞恩》,理由仅仅只是因为《拯救大兵瑞恩》的导演是女人,也再一次证明了好莱坞根深蒂固的性别歧视。在那里,只要你是女人,哪怕你做到了男人都不一定能做到的事情,你依旧得不到认可。最后,我只想很无力的问一句,难道真的一直要这样下去吗?”
The second day that the Golden Globe Awardpresentation ceremonyended, on《Los Angeles Times》 a well-knownfemalecommentatordeliveredthis kind ofwordsto stir uprow of commentariesinindividualcolumn, andobtained the massivemediaone-sideddiscussionaboutsexual discrimination, many were also mixing with the question and discussion of variousGolden Globe Awardbehind-the-scenes plotting.

Somemanyfilm criticfavorculturalsympathymore intense«Saving Private Ryan», becausedoes not have the powerfulcompetitor, TomHanksobtains the best actor is almost the matter of being settled. Before presentation ceremony, most people'sdiscussionfocal pointgathersat the ownerships of best picturesandinbestDirectorthesetwonominations.
虽然很多专业影评人都清楚,《勇敢的心》和《拯救大兵瑞恩》两部影片在艺术上可以说是不分伯仲,但本能地。还是有很多影评人倾向于文化认同感更加强烈的《拯救大兵瑞恩》,因为没有实力强大的竞争者,汤姆・汉克斯获得最佳男主角几乎是板上钉钉的事情。颁奖典礼之前,大部分人的讨论焦点都聚集在最佳影片和最佳导演这两项提名的归属上。After«Saving Private Ryan»has achieved nothing, in some people heartssympathyoriginallychanges intodisappointed and questionin abundance, because of the DirectorKathrynsexreason. Manyfeministswere also angryto the Golden Globe Awardappraisal committeeexpressed the protest, evenappealed that the Hollywoodstardo not attend the Golden Globe Awardpresentation ceremonyagain.
在《拯救大兵瑞恩》一无所获之后,一些人心中原本的认同感纷纷化为失望和质疑,因为导演凯瑟琳的性别原因。很多女权主义者也愤怒向金球奖评审委员会表达了抗议,甚至呼吁好莱坞女星不要再参加金球奖颁奖典礼。Regarding the question of media, the Golden Globe Awardappraisal committeemanytime was the same with the past, had the manner of not responding tocompletely, thistypealmostwill occurto the question of award itemevery year, mustnot haveto maketo the beyond redemptionsituation, did not respondis the bestprocessing mode, respondedinsteadhas appearedafraid, thusmadegreatly the matter.
对于媒体的质疑,金球奖评审委员会和以往很多次一样,完全采取不回应的态度,这种对奖项的质疑几乎每年都会发生,要没有闹到不可收拾的地步,不回应就是最好的处理方式,回应了反而会显得心虚,从而将事情闹得更大。Afterwardseveraldays, the 67 th Oscarprizenominationlistwas announcedthat«Braveheart»has causeddiscussion of mediaonce again, the focal point of thisdispute is actually centralized, inMel the Gibsonbest actornominateson, onGolden Globe Award the best actornomination of «Braveheart», has letmanyfilm criticunstated criticism, thinks that Mel the performance of Gibson can only beseveral, toobtaining the award nominationalsohasa large part ofdistances, the majority ofmediathoughtthatOscarwill not awardMellikeGolden Globe Award the Gibsonbest actornominates, but the factletsmanypeople, ifate together the flyto be ordinary. film criticoriginallybecause the Golden Globe Awardunfairangerhas not sentto thank, at this timehas aimed atOscar the muzzlewithout hesitation, isoneto the Oscarfairnessdiscussion.
随后几天,第67届奥斯卡奖提名名单公布,《勇敢的心》再次引起了媒体的热议,这次争议的焦点却是集中在了梅尔・吉布森的最佳男主角提名上,金球奖上《勇敢的心》的最佳男主角提名,就已经让很多影评人腹诽不已,认为梅尔・吉布森的表演只能算是几个,离获得奖项提名还有很大一部分距离,原本大部分媒体都觉得,奥斯卡不会像金球奖那样授予梅尔・吉布森最佳男主角提名,但事实却让很多人如同吃了苍蝇一般。影评人本来就因为金球奖的不公怒气还没有发谢完毕,此时毫不犹豫地将枪口对准了奥斯卡,又是一番对奥斯卡公正性的讨论。
The general publicsdo not certainly know during this, exactlyhadmanymatters, butis paying attention tothisargumentanimatedly. Along with the enhancement of topic, more and moremuchmediaalsostartto follow up, changes the patternis attracting the audienceoris reading.
普通民众当然不知道这期间到底发生了多少事情,只是津津乐道地关注着这场争论。随着话题度的提高,越来越多的媒体也开始跟进,变着花样吸引观众或者读着。Most peoplehave not noted, along withthisdiscussionupsurge, alreadyunderfilesverylong«Saving Private Ryan»afterwardoneweek of time, was selling the 670,000boxrecording tapesilently, the sales volumewas equaltobefore thistwoweeks of sum total, oneweek of timewasFireflyhas brought the 20 millionUSDrecording tapesales revenue.
大部分人都没有注意到,随着这场讨论热潮,早已下档很久的《拯救大兵瑞恩》在随后的一周时间,默默地卖出去了67万盒录像带,销量相当于此前两周的总和,一周时间就为萤火虫带来了2000万美元的录像带销售收入。Meanwhile, but alsosuddenlyhas also risen sharply60%inscreening«Braveheart»weekBox OfficefromGolden Globe Awardbeforehandmore than 7 millionUSD, achieves11 million, Box OfficeBox Officewith easebroke the 73 millionUSDcritical junction.

同时,还在上映的《勇敢的心》周票房也从金球奖之前的700多万美元突然大涨了60%,达到1100万,累计票房票房轻松突破了7300万美元大关。韦恩斯坦兄弟自然是乐开了花,小动作更加频繁。Mostpainstakinglyin the entire itemmatter, compelswithout doubtisMelGibson, the best actorhas nominated the controversy that stirs, as well as the dispute of mediaaboutHollywoodsexual discrimination, obtains the hope of bestDirectorto compresshimtoseveralinfinitelynearlyinnot having.
整件事中,最苦逼的无疑是梅尔・吉布森了,最佳男主角提名引起的争议,以及媒体关于好莱坞性别歧视的争议,将他获得最佳导演的希望无限压缩到几近于无。„Hetook the 18 millionUSDsalary, in the future must take away10%gain sharingagain. Foxdid not owehim.

“他已经拿了1800万美元的片酬,将来还要再拿走10%的利润分成。福克斯可一点都不欠他了。哈维本来还想要把他有犹太歧视倾向的事情传出去呢,被我拦下来了,哼,如果不是念着大家都是澳洲人。我才不会管呢。”BeverlyJuliaandin the Elizabethsummitmansion, Elizabethwears the neatwhiteshirt and jeans, wearssunglassesslantingly by the swimming poolsand beachchair, is readingscriptEricto saytoanotherdeck chairon.比弗利茱莉亚和伊丽莎白的山顶豪宅里,伊丽莎白穿着清爽的白色衬衫和牛仔裤,戴着墨镜斜斜地靠在游泳池旁的沙滩椅上,对另外一张躺椅上正在翻看剧本的艾瑞克说道。InEricturnedonepagescript, butnodded. Expressedoneheard.艾瑞克手里将剧本翻了一页,只是点了点头。表示自己听到了。Elizabethsomecurled the lipdiscontentedly, said: „Eric, heard that youhave begun usingtwonew personDirector, but also«The Matrix»gives, youhad not feared that screwed up?”伊丽莎白有些不满地撇了撇嘴,道:“艾瑞克,听说你又启用了两个新人导演,还把《黑客帝国》交给其中一个了,你不怕搞砸了吗?”„Is more accurate, isthree,”Ericcorrectedoneat will.
“准确一些,是三个,”艾瑞克随意纠正了一句。„Iknow certainly, that Wachowski Brothers. Specialwhattheyhave?”
“我当然知道,那个,沃卓斯基兄弟嘛,诶。他们有什么特别的吗?”ListensElizabethis becoming the thiefsmallsound, Ericsmiled, said: „Do not keep thinking, their two, Oh, three, andFireflyhave signed the optioncontracts of threemovies, at leastfiveyears, definitelywill not meet the movies of othercompanies, naturally. Only ifIrelease peopleon own initiative.”
听着伊丽莎白变得贼兮兮的小声音,艾瑞克笑了笑,道:“你就别惦记了,他们两个,哦,三个,都和萤火虫签了三部影片的选择权合约,至少五年时间,肯定是不会接其他公司的影片了,当然。除非我主动放人。”Sincedecidesto begin usingWachowski BrothersandMichael, EricshootsmovieBox Officefirewill certainly not change jobtothem the opportunity of leaving, buthas signed the Hollywoodcommonoptioncontractwiththreepeoplebeforehand, stipulated that theyat leastmustbeFireflydirectthreemovies to transferthrowother.
既然决定启用沃卓斯基兄弟和迈克尔・贝,艾瑞克当然不会给他们拍摄一部影片票房大火就跳槽走人的机会,而是事先与三人签署了好莱坞常见的选择权合约,规定他们至少要为萤火虫执导三部影片才能转投别家。Naturally.

The optioncontract that Ericgivesis not harsh, Wachowski BrothersandMichaelvery muchrefreshedlyhas signed.
当然。为了与三个在未来升值潜力不错的导演保持良好的关系,艾瑞克并没有像很多选择权合约那样提前规定低廉的导演酬劳。艾瑞克虽然主张压制好莱坞巨星的超高片酬,却也不会竭泽而渔地让电影主创们只干活拿不到应有的报酬,双赢才是一个行业得以良性循环的根本原则。艾瑞克给出的选择权合约并不苛刻,沃卓斯基兄弟和迈克尔・贝都很爽快地签了下来。ElizabethactuallythinkswhatEricsaidisthattype of traditionaloptioncontract, groanstwo. Said: „Ithought that youareMel that Gibsonsaid‚greedyJew’.”伊丽莎白却以为艾瑞克说的是那种传统的选择权合约,哼哼两声。道:“我觉得你才是梅尔・吉布森说的那种‘贪婪的犹太人’。”Ericteasedtothisracedid not mindthatshrugged saying: „Whoknows that mixestoHollywood, does not wantto become the Jew.”艾瑞克对这种种族调侃丝毫不介意,耸肩道:“谁知道呢,到好莱坞混的,不都想成为犹太人嘛。”Theywere chatting, Juliacarriedoneto cut the goodfruithors d'oeuvreto walksoftly, placednearon the Ericright handsmallround table, has pushedpushingtowardsideEricgently, withEricpressed together, has lain downon the spacioussand beachchaircomfortably.
两人正聊着,茱莉亚轻手轻脚地端着一盘切好的水果拼盘走过来,放在艾瑞克右手边的小圆桌上,轻轻将艾瑞克朝旁边推了推,和艾瑞克挤在一起,在宽大的沙滩椅上舒服地躺了下来。Elizabethdiscontentedsay|way: „Julia, myfruit tray?”伊丽莎白不满道:“茱莉亚,我的果盘呢?”

“啧啧,跟只猫似的,还是只春天的猫。”Juliadoes not pay attention, ErictracesJuliato pastewith a smilein the cheek of ownchest: „Smallkitty, calledone.”茱莉亚不理会,艾瑞克笑着摸了摸茱莉亚贴在自己胸口的脸蛋:“小猫咪,叫一声。”„Meow......”

“呕,你们恶心死我算了,”伊丽莎白做了一个干呕的动作,不耐烦地看了看艾瑞克手中的剧本,道:“你到底什么时候看完啊,到底觉得怎么样?”„Youknow that Iin the thing that oneselfare not interested, could not raiseanyspirit.”
“你知道的,我对于自己不感兴趣的东西,一直都提不起什么精神的。”„Thisscriptis very bad, Ihave made very bigeffort, but alsochecked the materials of manysmall creaturespecially.”

Ifyouwantto look, thatstoryscript that Iletpeople the Disneyanimationarrangedgivesyouone, makingyouhave a look atanythingto call the imagination.”
“说不算糟糕,但也完全没有什么让人眼前一亮的感觉。你如果想看的话,我让人把迪斯尼动画正在筹备的那个故事剧本给你一份,让你看看什么才叫想象力。”Elizabethcauses the vigor by the deck chair, said: „Sinceyoucannot have a liking forthisstory, thatalsoletsBlue Sky StudiosthatChrisWedgemakesanything, Iread the personal history of thatwork room, althoughhas made the special effect of somefamousmovies, has not actually stepped in the animationdomain, hisimpossibleratioto have resulted inPixarthatgroup of people.”伊丽莎白使劲儿靠在躺椅上,道:“既然你看不上这个故事,那还让蓝天工作室的那个克里斯・韦奇过来做什么,我看了那个工作室的履历,虽然做过一些大牌电影的特效,却还没有涉足过动画领域,他也不可能比得过皮克斯的那帮人吧。”Ericclosesscript in hand, twistsApple in fruit trayto eat, said: „Yourthisstory, although is the same, can actually makethembe usedto practice acquiring a skill, makes a short filmto come outto exercise the team.”艾瑞克将手中的剧本合上,捻起果盘里的一块苹果吃着,道:“你这个故事虽然一般般,却可以让他们用来练手,做一个短片出来锻炼一下团队。”„Youmight as wellbranch outfew peoplefromPixardirectlyagaintome, likeDisneyanimationsuch.”
“你还不如直接再从皮克斯分出一部分人给我呢,就像迪斯尼动画那样。”Ericshook the head, said: „Pixardo not keep thinking, but, thiswork roomIdo not giveyou, ourtwodivide equally, I thought that left the management10%stocks, remainingFireflyandFoxaccounted for45%respectively.”艾瑞克摇了摇头,道:“皮克斯你就别惦记了,不过,这个工作室我也不是给你的啊,我们两家平分,我都想好了,留给管理层10%的股份,剩下的萤火虫和福克斯各占45%。”„Yourtwoanimation studios!”
“你都有两家动画工作室了啊!”Ericsaid with a smile: „If notsomeanimationcreativitiesdoes not conform to the Disney'sstyle, Idid not mind that Fireflyare many a animation studio.”艾瑞克笑道:“如果不是一些动画创意不符合迪斯尼的风格,我不介意萤火虫旗下再多一家动画工作室的。”„Wa~wū, yourthisgreedyJew!”( To be continued.)
“哇呜,你这个贪婪的犹太人!”(未完待续。)
