Regarding the Metro Goldwyn Mayer purchase case, the Flower Films initial offer is 1.5 billion USD, Crédit Lyonnais S.A. actually hopes that the stock in hand can sell 1.8 billion USD. Crédit Lyonnais S.A. has decided thoroughly gets rid of Hollywood, after the transaction had finished, not again with Hollywood anything benefit dispute, therefore, both sides negotiated mainly drew the foothold continuously strongly in the final bargain price. 对于米高梅的收购案,花朵影业最初的报价为15亿美元,里昂信贷银行却希望手中的股份能够卖到18亿美元。里昂信贷银行已经打定主意彻底摆脱好莱坞,交易结束后就不会再与好莱坞什么利益纠葛,因此,双方谈判的主要拉据点一直都集中在最终的交易价格上。 Both sides negotiated starting from early June, to the end of July, reason that cannot reach the agreement throughout, was mainly because Crédit Lyonnais S.A. was waiting for that the «007 GoldenEye» Box Office results, this movie has the participation of Eric, they anticipated to Box Office of movie. After although just, «007 GoldenEye» screened, obtained the unanimous good marks, but Box Office has not presented explodes the trend greatly, especially with the «Night at the Museum» contrast, was makes Crédit Lyonnais S.A. not have too much energy. 双方从六月初开始谈判,一直到七月底,之所以始终都没能达成协议,主要是因为里昂信贷银行在等待《007之黄金眼》的票房结果,这部影片有着艾瑞克的参与,他们对影片的票房还是非常期待的。只不过,虽然《007之黄金眼》上映后获得了一致好评,但票房并没有呈现大爆趋势,特别是与《博物馆奇妙夜》对比,更是让里昂信贷银行没有了太多底气。 After «007 GoldenEye» weekend Box Office draw a charge, both sides draw back respectively one step, reached the final intention of 1.6 billion USD, naturally, after the transaction is closed, Flower Films will undertake the 1.7 billion USD debt that Metro Goldwyn Mayer leaves behind, the complete transaction achieves 3.3 billion USD. 《007之黄金眼》首周末票房出炉后,双方各退一步,达成了16亿美元的最终意向,当然,交易完成之后,花朵影业将承担米高梅遗留下来的17亿美元债务,全部交易金额达到33亿美元。 The second day that the transaction decides, the 《Los Angeles Times》 front page presented a very interesting cartoon. 交易敲定的第二天,《洛杉矶时报》头版就出现了一张很有意思的漫画。 Giant Firefly of personification, the head wears a floret, is similar to Tyrannosaurus Rex in «The Lost World: Jurassic Park» horizontal has printed ‚d’ easily accomplished the street of symbol, the construction that street both sides collapse is hanging the Warner, Paramount, Universal, Columbia and other company in the striking trademarks. 一只拟人化的巨型萤火虫,头上戴着一朵小花,如同《侏罗纪公园2》中的霸王龙般摧枯拉朽地横趟过印着‘d’标志的街道,街道两旁倒塌的建筑上挂着华纳、派拉蒙、环球、哥伦比亚等公司的醒目商标。 Under this cartoon, 《Los Angeles Times》 gave «Firefly To invade the Hollywood» rampant title. 在这张漫画之下,《洛杉矶时报》给出了《萤火虫入侵好莱坞》的嚣张标题。 „Seven years ago, «Home Alone» appears, at the 1 million USD ultra low cost, harvests to surpass 500 million USD Box Office around the world, entire Hollywood looks askance.” “七年前,《小鬼当家》横空出世,以100万美元的超低成本,世界范围内收割超过5亿美元票房,整个好莱坞为之侧目。” „Perhaps nobody thinks. Seven years later today, that built the «Home Alone» youth in the past, at impressive speed. Has founded own media empire. Meanwhile, the territory of this emerging empire almost expands at the naked eye obvious speed crazily. After annexes the new line, Disney and ABC continuously, this only as if never Firefly of meeting, beyond own system, ‚planter’ a brilliant flower.” “但或许没有人会想到。七年后的今天,当年那个一手打造《小鬼当家》的青年,以让人惊叹的速度。建立了自己的传媒帝国。同时,这个新兴帝国的版图几乎以肉眼可见的速度疯狂扩张。在连续吞并新线、迪斯尼、ab之后,这只似乎永远不会的萤火虫,又在自身体系之外,‘种植’了一朵光彩夺目的花儿。” „Before the Metro Goldwyn Mayer purchase case, we can see, Flower Films at the end of last year, first part movie «Mission: Impossible» that promoted, on according to 70 million USD cost. Obtained global near 500 million USD bright eye result.” “在米高梅收购案之前,我们就可以看到,花朵影业在去年年底,推出的第一部影片《碟中谍》,就以7000万美元的成本。获得了全球将近5亿美元的亮眼成绩。” „This summer files, two movie «Forrest Gump» and of «Night at the Museum» Flower Films manufacture, so far, obtained 190 million USD and 130 million USD North America Box Office separately, although the Box Office potential of two movies by far are also not limited to this, but the summer files opens from May 26 now, ten weeks of total Box Office that North America summer files passed 16. 800 million USD, Flower Films this newborn soon small beast in unknowingly has swallowed 19% market shares.” “这个暑期档,花朵影业制作的两部影片《阿甘正传》和《博物馆奇妙夜》,截至目前为止,已经分别获得1.9亿美元和1.3亿美元的北美票房,虽然两部影片的票房潜力还远远不止于此,但从5月26号暑期档开启到现在,北美暑期档已经过去的十周总票房累计16.8亿美元,花朵影业这只初生不久的小兽就已经在不知不觉中吞噬了19%的市场份额。” „If we expand some vision, can discover, Firefly Group release three movie «The Lost World: Jurassic Park» and «Independence Day» and «Toy Story 2». Similarly accumulated 6. 900 million USD native place Box Office, the Box Office potential of these movies had not been dug similarly completely completely. But two company Box Office sum totals occupied entire summer files ten weeks of Box Office 61%, only leaves the market share that other Hollywood colleagues 40% do not arrive. Let the person praise to the heavens.” “如果我们将目光扩大一些,就可以发现,萤火虫集团发行的三部影片《侏罗纪公园2》、《独力日》和《玩具总动员2》。同样已经累计了6.9亿美元本土票房,这几部影片的票房潜力同样没有被完全挖尽。但两家公司票房总和却已经占据了整个暑期档十周票房的61%,只留给好莱坞所有其他同行40%不到的市场份额。让人叹为观止。” „Does not want to see difficultly, when Eric the flower that Williams props up personally has completed to the merger and acquisition conformity of Metro Goldwyn Mayer and DreamWorks, in the «Mission: Impossible» series by the hand and «007» series, the 《Charlie's Angels》 series and «Night at the Museum» series and «Resident Evil» series and other large quantities of profit rich movie project, it will be at least quick in the Film Industry service, achieves with Firefly Group situation side by side, we almost can see the next few years, other Hollywood Film Studio dreary circumstances.” “不难想见,当艾瑞克・威廉姆斯亲自扶植起来的这朵花儿完成了对米高梅、梦工厂的并购整合,凭借手中《碟中谍》系列、《007》系列、《霹雳娇娃》系列、《博物馆奇妙夜》系列、《生化危机》系列等一大批盈利丰厚的电影项目,至少,它将很快在电影业务上,达到与萤火虫集团比肩的地步,我们几乎可以看到未来几年,好莱坞其他电影公司的惨淡境遇。” Although the article on 《Los Angeles Times》 slightly obviously exaggerates, but has aroused the interests of many person. 虽然《洛杉矶时报》上的文章略显夸张,但还是引起了很多人的关注。 Hollywood seven big Film Studio have the respective filmmaking and release system. And. A lot of resources are, for example the institute line resources of Paramount these Film Studio are in sole possession. Therefore. Firefly and Flower Films want to monopolize the entire Hollywood film market completely, only if eats completely seven big Film Studio. Otherwise, impossible every year to achieve so astonishing market share absolutely. This year reason that will be attained 60% market shares by two Film Studio, looks like in many people , can only sum up the luck, Firefly and Flower Films luck is good, but the Warner and other company in the luck are too bad, has not presented the movie that Box Office explodes greatly. 好莱坞七大电影公司都有着各自的电影制作和发行体系。而且。很多资源都是这些电影公司所独有的,比如派拉蒙旗下的院线资源。所以。萤火虫和花朵影业想要完全垄断整个好莱坞电影市场,除非将七大电影公司全部吃下来。否则,绝对不可能每年都达到如此惊人的市场份额。今年之所以会被两家电影公司拿到60%的市场份额,在很多人看来,也只能归结到运气,萤火虫和花朵影业的运气太好,而华纳等公司的运气太差,没有出现票房大爆的影片。 However, for all that Flower Films purchased the Metro Goldwyn Mayer action to cause the vigilance of several other big Film Studio. Warner, Universal, Paramount and high levels in Columbia several companies understand that wants to prevent the expansion of Flower Films, the best means that do not count at all costs to stir the yellow this transaction. 不过,虽然如此,花朵影业收购米高梅的举动还是引起了另外几大电影公司的警惕。华纳、环球、派拉蒙、哥伦比亚几家公司的高层都明白,想要阻止花朵影业的扩张,最好的办法,就是不计一切代价搅黄这次交易。 However, the wishes are good, the reality is actually, several other major and medium, is willing to work as this person who takes the lead without any. 但是,愿望是美好的,现实却是,其他几大中,没有任何一家愿意当这个出头鸟。 After all, wants to stir the yellow this transaction, not only needs to pay the high price, will also offend dead Firefly thoroughly, although everyone knows that this will be in ‚sacrifice now, investment in the future’, but has the sacrifice now this courage Hollywood management, but did not have. 毕竟,想要搅黄这次交易,不但需要支付高昂的代价,还会将萤火虫彻底得罪死,虽然谁都知道这是在‘牺牲现在、投资未来’,但拥有牺牲现在这种勇气的好莱坞高管,可是一个都没有。 As for the union, is consider as finished. Several that waits for the thoughts to vary came to an arrangement about the condition of union, perhaps Flower Films has grown into a lofty tree. 至于联合,还是算了吧。等心思各异的几家谈妥联合的条件,或许花朵影业已经长成一棵参天大树了。 Although in secret, some people take advantage of the resources in hand to play some small tricks, even if the intention cannot prevent this purchase, must make Flower Films pay more prices, these small tricks often easily were actually melted by the opposite party. After all, in this capital society, the capital is the ultimate strength, Firefly now without doubt is the Hollywood capital most abundant media group. 虽然私下里,也有人利用手中的资源玩弄一些小伎俩,意图即使不能阻止这次收购,也要让花朵影业支付更多代价,这些小伎俩却往往都被对方轻易化解掉。毕竟,在这个资本社会,资本就是终极力量,萤火虫现在无疑是好莱坞资本最雄厚的传媒集团。 Los Angeles. 洛杉矶。 In the Drew Beverly mansion, girl stands in the living room hung all over by the clothes rack of dinner jacket to change the clothes, the small mouth also kept talking endlessly: „Does not know how really they think, makes the person look up my tax unexpectedly, ha, this method was already outmoded, my tax affairs bill may be whiter than Natasha, where will find out any issue. Ahem. If makes me know that who behind does, must teach his absolutely maliciously.” 德鲁的比弗利豪宅内,丫头站在客厅的挂满了小礼服的衣架旁换着衣服,小嘴还不停喋喋不休道:“真不知道他们是怎么想的,竟然让人来查我的税,哈,这种方法早就老掉牙了,我的税务账单可比娜塔莎还白呢,哪里会查出什么问题。哼哼。要是让我知道背后是谁做的,绝对要狠狠教训他一顿。” The time is at the end of July, Flower Films in the beforehand two weeks. Has signed the purchase agreement with Crédit Lyonnais S.A. and DreamWorks movie-making one after another. The Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock in Crédit Lyonnais S.A. hand selects the method of cash purchase, but under strong impulse of Eric. Used cash to add the stock to the merger and acquisition of DreamWorks the way, the bargain price was 1 billion USD, before participated in Metro Goldwyn Mayer merger and acquisition Vivendi investment 300 million, obtained in the Firefly hand the DreamWorks 30% stocks, other after DreamWorks Europe shareholders holds the stock was exchanged as the merge , the stockholder's rights of company. 时间已经是七月底,花朵影业在之前两周内。与里昂信贷银行和梦工厂制片陆续签署了收购协议。里昂信贷银行手中的米高梅股份采用现金收购的方式,而在艾瑞克的强力推动下。对梦工厂的并购采用了现金加股票的方式,交易价格为十亿美元,之前参与了米高梅并购的威望迪出资3亿,获得萤火虫手中梦工厂30%的股份,梦工厂其他的欧洲股东所持股份则被兑换为合并后公司的股权。 After the conformity is completed, for the convenient stockholder's rights operation, the new company was still primarily the Metro Goldwyn Mayer group, Flower Films and DreamWorks as well as will have 007 copyright United Artists in the next few months. Gradually the conformity is the Metro Goldwyn Mayer production unit, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer trade mark will be mainly used in the movie distributing in the future. 整合完成之后,为了方便股权操作,新公司仍以米高梅集团为主,花朵影业和梦工厂以及拥有007版权的联美将在未来几个月。逐渐整合为米高梅的制作部门,米高梅的厂牌未来将主要用于电影发行。 The brand-new Metro Goldwyn Mayer group, Drew as the first major stockholder, owns stocks personally 40%, the Vivendi group owns stocks Billy is 20%, the Limited group owns stocks 10%, the DreamWorks original Europe shareholder owns stocks 18%, surplus 12% for circulation stock. 全新的米高梅集团,德鲁作为第一大股东,个人持股40%,威望迪集团持股比利为20%,ltd集团持股10%,梦工厂原欧洲股东持股18%,剩余12%为流通股。 Eric sits on the living room sofa, was waiting for Drew changes the clothes, then hurries to attend the new Metro Goldwyn Mayer first press conference together. 艾瑞克坐在客厅沙发上,等待着德鲁换好衣服,然后一起赶去参加新米高梅的第一场新闻发布会。 The Eric corners of the mouth are listening to talking endlessly of Drew with a smile. In the hand is reading the balance sheet of new company. 艾瑞克嘴角含笑地听着德鲁的喋喋不休。手里翻看着新公司的资产负债表。 After completing the conformity, looks like in Eric, brand-new Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Most valuable without doubt is that several big piece copyright, in addition, is the Metro Goldwyn Mayer huge database. 完成整合之后,在艾瑞克看来,全新的米高梅。最值钱的无疑是那几部大片的版权,除此之外,就是米高梅的庞大片库。 Although in the 80's Kerkorian and Theder in that transaction of Turner, before Metro Goldwyn Mayer lost 1948 movie copyright, but other after 1948 database had more than 4000 film and television plays as before, has also ranked among the best in entire Hollywood, in original space and time, to strive for the Metro Goldwyn Mayer database promoted own high-definition blue light form, Sony has been the fool in 2004 once more. Therefore has pulled out 5 billion USD, obviously the gold content of Metro Goldwyn Mayer database. 虽然八十年代科克里安与特德・特纳的那次交易中,米高梅失去了1948年以前的电影版权,但剩余的1948年以后的片库中依旧拥有4000多部影视剧,在整个好莱坞也是数一数二了,原时空中,为了争取米高梅片库推广自身的高清蓝光格式,索尼在2004年再次做了冤大头。为此掏出了50亿美元,可见米高梅片库的含金量。 Just. These year of Metro Goldwyn Mayer have struggled in difficult position, enough energy has not gone to these database resources realizations. Only can carries on the extension authorization to the exterior recording tape distributor and wired TV Station, has saying that is a regret, since now accepted this resources, Eric to ignore situation will certainly not continue. 只不过。这些年米高梅一直挣扎在困境当中,没有足够的精力去将这些片库资源变现。只能向外部录像带发行商和有线电视台进行粗放型的授权,不得不说是一种遗憾,现在既然接受了这份资源,艾瑞克当然不会放任这种情况继续下去。 Eric was considering how should manage the Metro Goldwyn Mayer huge database resources, heard the girl saying that own tax affairs bill was whiter than Natasha, this could not bear look up one, the twin wore the simple black T-shirt and laundering jeans, helped Drew select the clothes peacefully, the cheek and arm that revealed were bringing Slav beautiful woman unique astonishing white of actually. 艾瑞克正考虑着该如何经营米高梅庞大的片库资源,听到丫头说自己的税务账单比娜塔莎还白,这才忍不住抬头看了一眼,双胞胎穿着简单的黑色t恤和水洗牛仔裤,安静地帮德鲁挑着衣服,露出的脸蛋和手臂倒是带着斯拉夫美女特有的惊人白析。 Noted the Eric look, Drew the lip angle, said: „Eric, they do not put on time whiter Oh of clothes.” 注意到艾瑞克的眼神,德鲁咧了咧唇角,道:“艾瑞克,她们不穿衣服的时候更白哦。” Along with the Drew words, on twin cheeks appears the light crimson, somewhat embarrassed glanced Eric one. 随着德鲁的话,双胞胎脸颊上现出淡淡的绯红,有些不好意思地瞟了艾瑞克一眼。 Eric smiled, the line of sight changes the small body that in the Drew only wear depends on, although celebrates the 20 th birthday, but in recent years, because swore off the statures of initial these abuse girls almost not to change again, 1 meter 63 small fellow, the bright and clean white and tender flesh, petite was having the sex appeal, was attractive. 艾瑞克笑了笑,视线又转向德鲁只穿着内依的小身子,虽然已经过了20岁生日,但这些年来,因为戒掉了当初的那些恶习丫头的身材几乎没有再改变过,1米63的小个子,光洁白嫩的肌肤,娇小中带着肉感,誘惑十足。 Feels Eric to fall on oneself look, the girl loses a small look toward Eric, suggested: „Eric, currently also has time Oh.” 感受到艾瑞克落在自己身上的眼神,丫头朝艾瑞克丢来一个小眼神,暗示道:“艾瑞克,现在还有时间哦。” „Changes the clothes quickly, do not rub gently again, we must be earlier.” “快换衣服吧,不要再磨蹭了,我们总要早一些到的。” „That on vehicle.” “那就在车上。” „Do not make.” “别闹。” „Hehe......” “呵呵……” „Said a proper business,” Eric expression stern, said: „Although your financial any issue, but owning stocks in new company was always not conspicuous. I plan Metro Goldwyn Mayer to issue additionally 20% stocks again, um, probably is the 70 million stock, by the current stock price, can take about 1 billion USD fund friendly, when the time comes, you and Limited owning stocks puts together, as before placed about 40%, we will not lose the controlling force to the company, but can also make the company next few years development have a ampler fund, do you think what kind of?” “说件正事,”艾瑞克表情正色了一些,道:“虽然你的财务没有任何问题,但在新公司的持股总是太显眼了一些。我计划米高梅再增发20%的股份,嗯,大概是7000万股,以当前的股价,可以融取10亿美元左右的资金,到时候,你和ltd的持股加在一起,依旧保持在40%左右,我们不会失去对公司的控制力,还可以让公司未来几年的发展拥有更加宽裕的资金,你觉得怎么样？” The girls have chosen a pink dinner jacket finally, after putting on, butterfly threw, has rubbed rubbing on Eric, greasy sound track: „Eric, these matters you do not need to ask me, all my are your, you decide well.” 丫头最终挑选了一件粉红色小礼服,穿好之后蝴蝶似的扑了过来,在艾瑞克身上蹭了蹭,腻声道:“艾瑞克,这些事情你根本不用问我呢,我的一切都是你的,你决定就好。” „, I am one do not excel for the person who others make the decision actually,” Eric holds in the arms the waist of girl, such said. “呵,其实我是一个不太擅长替别人做决定的人,”艾瑞克搂住丫头的腰肢,这么说道。 „But I am not others, Eric, if no you, I possibly died now.” “可我不是别人啊,艾瑞克,如果没有你,我现在可能已经死了。” Eric feels is pasting the small body on oneself, cracks a joke saying: „Volume, how this lines looked like the soap opera more and more, Aiya, the neck, do not force too tightly, in my will did not have your name.” 艾瑞克感受着贴在自己身上的小身子,开玩笑道:“额,这台词怎么越来越像肥皂剧了,哎呀,脖子,别勒太紧,我遗嘱里可没你的名字。” „, I cannot die with you.” “唔,我会和你一起死掉的。” „Was this soap opera second volume starts?” “这是肥皂剧第二集开始了吗？” „Wa~wū, I am earnest.” “哇呜,我是认真的。” „Good good, time arrived, we hurry.” “好吧好吧,时间到了,我们赶紧过去吧。” Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters situated in century city, although the initial square had sold out by Kerkorian in the 80's, but the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters building is also retaining, as establishment more than 50 years established Film Studio, although started to decline, but the Headquarters building situated in Venice beach are more than office building style of Flower Films. 米高梅的总部位于世纪城,虽然当初的片场已经在八十年代被科克里安卖掉,但米高梅的总部大楼还保留着,作为成立半个多世纪的老牌电影公司,虽然已经开始没落,但总部大楼还是比花朵影业位于威尼斯海滩的办公楼气派很多。 Flower Films and DreamWorks have not moved to here the office at this time, but the press conference arranges in a Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters most spacious meeting hall. 花朵影业和梦工厂此时还没有将办公室搬到这里,不过新闻发布会还是安排在米高梅总部最宽敞的一间会议大厅内。 When Eric and Drew ride in a carriage to arrive at Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters, in the square outside building has been filled with the reporter, notes their private car, swarms in abundance. The security team of company also hastily clears the way for them. 艾瑞克和德鲁乘车到达米高梅总部时,大楼外的广场上已经挤满了记者,注意到两人的座驾,纷纷蜂拥上来。公司的保安团队也连忙为两人开道。 „Mr. Williams, will Firefly purchase Metro Goldwyn Mayer in the future?” “威廉姆斯先生,请问萤火虫未来会收购米高梅吗？” „Eric, Drew, do you have the plan of marriage?” “艾瑞克,德鲁,你们有结婚的打算吗？” „Eric, why you will strip the Firefly system Metro Goldwyn Mayer completely, cares about the anti-monopoly restriction?” “艾瑞克,你为什么会将米高梅完全剥离出萤火虫体系,是顾及到垄断限制吗？” „Can Metro Goldwyn Mayer with Firefly such crazy expansion?” “米高梅会和萤火虫那样疯狂扩张吗？” „ Eric, do you plan to solve the Metro Goldwyn Mayer debt problem? „ “艾瑞克,你打算怎么解决米高梅的债务问题？“ In one dazzling flashing lights and reporters inquired crazily, Eric was hugging the waist of girl, under the guard of security, went through the crowd difficultly, vanished in the building. 在一片刺眼的闪光灯和记者疯狂的提问中,艾瑞克搂着丫头的腰肢,在安保的护卫下,艰难地穿过人群,消失在大楼内。 Enters the building, Amy Pascal, Frank Makasso and other company management teams as well as will soon participate in some superstar of this release conference to welcome, under the instruction of Eric, the management in Firefly Group aspect has not attended this release conference. 走进大楼,艾米・帕斯卡尔,弗兰克・马卡索等公司高管团队以及即将参加这次发布会的一些巨星纷纷迎了上来,在艾瑞克的吩咐下,萤火虫集团方面的高管并没有出席这次发布会。 Has greeted with the people, everybody arrives at the release conference scene together, at this time the staff are still carrying on some final equipment debuggings.
