Chapter 739 第739章 While gap that the release conference starts, Eric Amy? Other Metro Goldwyn Mayer shareholders who Pascal as well as attended this release conference convene, communicated about issuing additionally the tentative plan of stock, Amy? Pascal and the others naturally do not have any comment, although after the conformity is completed, Metro Goldwyn Mayer seems like prosperous, but the funding chain actually stretches very tightly. 趁着发布会开始的间隙,艾瑞克将艾米?帕斯卡尔以及参加这次发布会的其他米高梅股东召集起来,沟通了关于增发股票的设想,艾米?帕斯卡尔等人自然没有任何意见,虽然整合完成后,米高梅看似欣欣向荣,但资金链却绷得非常紧。 The capital and interest that the 1.7 billion USD huge debt, expires every year are no less than 200 million USD, reason that initially Kerkorian sold Metro Goldwyn Mayer repeatedly, another reason, for through the sell, kept carrying on the debt recombination, to achieve to cut the disbursement the goal. 17亿美元的巨额债务,每年到期的本金和利息就不少于两亿美元,当初科克里安之所以反复将米高梅卖来卖去,另外一个原因,也是为了通过出售,不停进行债务重组,以达到削减支出的目的。 After this transaction, Kerkorian had been expelled Hollywood thoroughly, but new Metro Goldwyn Mayer is certainly impossible to play this capital game again, these principal and interest disbursements are impossible to save. If can issue additionally 20% stocks, the financial situation in company will restore to the normal operation level, has the sufficient fund to repair the manufacture and distribution system of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, and opens «The Lord of the Rings» and other manufactures of big series. 这次交易之后,科克里安被彻底赶出了好莱坞,而新的米高梅当然不可能再玩这种资本游戏,这些本息支出也就不可能省却。如果能够增发20%的股票,公司的财务状况将恢复到正常运营水平,同时也拥有充足的资金修复米高梅的制作和发行系统,并开启《魔戒》等大系列的制作。 Discussed that this matter, the staff inform the release conference to start, the people leave the restroom in abundance, enters the release conference hall. 商量完这件事,工作人员通知发布会开始,众人纷纷离开休息室,走进发布会大厅。 Besides is creating in the anxious shoots 《Charlie's Angels》 series Lord, new company «007» and «Mission: Impossible» and «Night at the Museum» and «Resident Evil» and other big series of leads of arrive in full today completely, the scene star light is radiant, but, they are actually doomed today are not the leads, reporter actually all attention centralized on the Metro Goldwyn Mayer shareholder and high level. 除了正在紧张拍摄的《霹雳娇娃》系列主创外,新公司旗下《007》、《碟中谍》、《博物馆奇妙夜》、《生化危机》等几大系列的主角今天全部到齐,现场可谓星光璀璨,不过,今天他们却注定不是主角,现场的记者却将所有注意力都集中在米高梅的股东和高层身上。 As CEO of new company, Amy? Pascal came to power high-spirited, has spent for more than ten minutes, introduced the approximate survey of new company, simultaneously recently in a series of media the matter of concern about the Metro Goldwyn Mayer purchase conformity process had carried on the unification reply. 作为新公司的eo,艾米?帕斯卡尔意气风发地上台,花了十多分钟时间,介绍了新公司的大致概况,同时就最近关于米高梅收购整合过程中一系列媒体关注的问题进行了统一回答。 Was invited more than 100 reporters of attendance patiently to wait for after Metro Goldwyn Mayer several management speeches had finished the inquiry link, the looks of some people more than once fell, in has sat quietly Eric on honored guest seat. 受邀出席的100多名现场记者本来都耐心地等待着米高梅几位高管发言结束后的提问环节,有些人的眼神已经不止一次落在了安坐在嘉宾席上的艾瑞克。 However. When Amy announced finally when Metro Goldwyn Mayer will issue additionally the stock, all reporters spunk up immediately. 不过。当艾米最后宣布米高梅将增发股票时,现场所有记者立刻打起精神。 In the forecast of recent media, many people thought. Metro Goldwyn Mayer will carry on the privatization with the Firefly same choice, this also conforms to the Eric Williams consistent style. Let alone Metro Goldwyn Mayer current, only then 12% circulation stocks, choose the privatization difficulty to be also low, therefore, this with the majority of media guessed that the widely divergent news, lets present all media reporters to seethe with excitement, in abundance Metro Goldwyn Mayer or is more direct, Eric Williams makes this decision the intention. 在最近媒体的预测中,很多人都觉得。米高梅会和萤火虫一样选择进行私有化,这也符合艾瑞克?威廉姆斯的一贯风格。更何况米高梅当前只有12%的流通股,选择私有化的难度也非常低,因此,这条与大部分媒体人猜测大相径庭的消息,让在场所有媒体记者都沸腾起来,纷纷米高梅或者更直接一些,艾瑞克?威廉姆斯做出这份决定的意图。 What a pity, Amy? After the speech had ended. Is the position change Metro Goldwyn Mayer Chairman Frank? Makasso comes to power once more, introduced the Metro Goldwyn Mayer next few years movie-making plan, and will invite the star honored guest to come to power to carry on the simple interaction. 可惜,艾米?发言结束后。职位变更为米高梅总裁的弗兰克?马卡索再次上台,介绍了米高梅未来几年的制片计划,并邀请现场明星嘉宾上台进行简单的互动。 So crossed for enough a half hour, the free inquiry link that the media anticipate finally arrives. 如此过了足足半个小时,媒体人期待的自由提问环节才终于到来。 When Eric, Drew, Amy as well as Frank? Makasso and John? After Calley several people sit to several chairs on stage on, the director announced that inquired the link to start, under the stage all reporters whish one have raised the hand completely. 当艾瑞克、德鲁、艾米以及弗兰克?马卡索、约翰?卡利几人坐到台上的几张椅子上之后,主持人宣布提问环节开始,台下所有记者哗的一下全部举起了手。 Director optional point a reporter, this is big wave brown hair is leading the woman of non- frame eye, received the microphone, has not asked all person issues of concern immediately, but aims at Eric the spear point. Said: „Mr. Williams, I am the 《The New York Times》 reporter, according to public news. Firefly Group has disinvested from Metro Goldwyn Mayer completely, then, which status do you today sit by and standpoint here?” 主持人随意点了一个记者,这是个一头大波浪棕发带着无边框眼睛的女士,接过话筒,却是没有立刻问出所有人关心的问题,而是将矛头指向艾瑞克。道:“威廉姆斯先生,我是《纽约时报》的记者,根据公开消息。萤火虫集团已经完全从米高梅撤资,那么,您今天是以哪种身份和立场坐在这里呢？” Eric smiled, he already expected that will possibly be asked this issue . Moreover, the reason of deeper level, many people are well aware actually. 艾瑞克笑了笑,他早就预料到了可能会被问到这个问题,而且,更深层次的原因,其实很多人都心知肚明。 However, the meaning that Eric has not avoided, is smiling replying: „If you take a reason. I should be the Metro Goldwyn Mayer shareholder representative. The Firefly investment company of my is the first major stockholder of Limited group, the Limited group is the Metro Goldwyn Mayer third major stockholder. Currently has 10% stocks, is this.” 不过,艾瑞克也没有回避的意思,微笑着答道:“如果你们一定要一个理由的话。我应该算是米高梅的股东代表吧。我个人旗下的萤火虫投资公司是ltd集团的第一大股东,ltd集团是米高梅的第三大股东。目前拥有10%的股份,就是这样。” That 《The New York Times》 press woman closely examined one: „Mr. Williams. Why you this matter complication, will use the Firefly Group capital to operate this matter directly, isn't simpler?” 那位《纽约时报》的女记者追问了一句:“威廉姆斯先生。请问你为何会将这件事复杂化,直接动用萤火虫集团的资本操作这件事,不是更加简单吗？” Although the North America major industry oligarchs have the monopoly practice, but the management of any enterprise publicly will not discuss the monopoly practice of company, will monopolize the intention not to acknowledge that because of any these words, in the future may become the evidence of company bitter experience anti- monopoly investigation. 虽然北美很多大型企业寡头都存在垄断行为,但任何一家企业的高管都不会公开谈论公司的垄断行为,甚至连垄断意图都不会承认,因为任何这些言辞,将来都可能成为公司遭遇反垄断调查的证据。 The Eric also clear rule, did certainly intentionally to hesitate the moment, said: „Internal system of Firefly Group already enough huge, if continues to expand, will appear very extremely fat, this regarding the healthy development of company will be very disadvantageous. Therefore, Metro Goldwyn Mayer completely single-handedly with the Firefly Group system beyond. Both sides in the future possible competition, can avoid Firefly Group losing the enterprise, has proud and idle mood.” 艾瑞克当然也清楚其中的规则,故作沉吟了片刻,道:“萤火虫集团的内部体系已经足够庞大,如果继续扩张,将会显得非常臃肿,这对于公司的健康发展是非常不利的。所以,米高梅才会完全独力与萤火虫集团体系之外。双方未来可能的竞争,也可以避免萤火虫集团失去进取心,产生骄傲和懈怠情绪。” This half real , half fake reply makes reporter unable to pick up any problem, the following quizzer has to direct the Metro Goldwyn Mayer forthcoming stock to issue additionally the topic on. 这种半真半假的回答让记者挑不出任何毛病,接下来的提问者只好将话题引到米高梅即将进行的股票增发上。 „Mr. Williams, why Metro Goldwyn Mayer will decide to issue additionally the stock, but doesn't carry on the privatization?” “威廉姆斯先生,请问米高梅为什么会决定增发股票,而不是进行私有化？” The Eric current individual wealth accumulated to let the situation that the person praised to the heavens, in the next few years along with the eruption of Internet tide, his individual wealth will stare dumbfounded, therefore, he no longer pursued the growth of wealth now, but was expands the influence and controlling force that these wealth brought. 艾瑞克当前的个人财富已经积累到了让人叹为观止的地步,未来几年随着互联网浪潮的爆发,他的个人财富将更加瞠目结舌,因此,他现在已经不再追求财富的快速增长,而是扩大这些财富带来的影响力和控制力。 Like Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Eric indirectly has controlled the Metro Goldwyn Mayer 10% stocks through Limited, can actually control this company completely, at the same time, because only has few stocks, the resistance from outside will also lower a lot. To turn into own kingdom Hollywood, in the future Eric similarly will also use similar method, gradually invades other media groups. 就像米高梅,艾瑞克只是间接地通过ltd控制了米高梅10%的股份,却可以完完全全操控这家公司,与此同时,因为只持有少量的股份,来自外界的阻力也会低得多。想要将好莱坞变成自己一个人的王国,未来艾瑞克也同样会采用类似的方法,逐渐入侵其他传媒集团。 Naturally, these words definitely cannot say, that will make many people uneasy whether sitting or standing absolutely. 当然,这些话肯定不能说出来的,那绝对会让很多人都坐立不安。 Therefore, facing this issue, Eric replied: „Each enterprise should have oneself development path single-handedly, therefore, I did not think that this is any issue. Reason that issues additionally the stock, to let Metro Goldwyn Mayer can a better development, you just see in the next few years, Metro Goldwyn Mayer then while continuing shoots «007» and «Mission: Impossible» and other series. Starts the manufacture of Tolkien epic poem work «The Lord of the Rings» series big movie, these need the big fund.” 因此,面对这个问题,艾瑞克只是答道:“每一家企业都应该拥有自己独力的发展道路,所以,我并不觉得这是什么问题。之所以增发股票,是为了让米高梅未来几年能够更好的发展下去,你们刚刚已经看到了,米高梅接下来将在继续拍摄《007》、《碟中谍》等系列的同时。开启托尔金史诗巨著《魔戒》系列大电影的制作,这些都需要大笔的资金。” „Mr. Williams, «007 GoldenEye» have alternated the painted eggshell of 《Charlie's Angels》 series similarly. The movie fans extremely have paid attention, whether Metro Goldwyn Mayer will let «007» and 《Charlie's Angels》 in the future presents occurring together?” “威廉姆斯先生,《007之黄金眼》同样穿插了《霹雳娇娃》系列的彩蛋。影迷们一直都非常关注,米高梅将来是否会让《007》和《霹雳娇娃》出现交集呢？” Hears this issue. Eric smiled, gives nearby Amy the microphone? Pascal, said: „Makes Amy explain this issue to everybody.” 听到这个问题。艾瑞克笑了笑,将话筒交给附近的艾米?帕斯卡尔,道:“还是让艾米给大家解释这个问题吧。” Amy? Pascal and the others dried in the sun some little time, they naturally not because Eric attracts all attention to have discontentedly, but losing at heart is unavoidable. 艾米?帕斯卡尔等人被晾了好一会儿,他们当然不会因为艾瑞克吸引所有关注度而有所不满,但心里的失落是在所难免的。 Sees Eric to hand over on own initiative the microphone, Amy knows that he reporter at suggestion scene, has also made a grateful look toward Eric, then picks up the microphone saying: „This issue. The company has carried on the detailed discussion, our plans, are the use in the future probably ten years, builds one to belong to the Metro Goldwyn Mayer movie agent universe alone, alternates the Metro Goldwyn Mayer «007» series, the 《Charlie's Angels》 series and other agent movie series of «Mission: Impossible» series as well as future possibly development. Soon , can everybody see James? Bond and Charlie's Angels as well as Eason? Hunt simultaneously appears in the middle of a silver screen.” 见艾瑞克主动将话筒递过来,艾米知道他也是在暗示现场的记者,朝艾瑞克做了个感激的眼神,然后拿起话筒道:“这个问题。公司内部已经进行了详细的商讨,我们的计划,是利用未来大概十年时间,打造一个独属于米高梅的电影特工宇宙,将米高梅旗下《007》系列、《霹雳娇娃》系列、《碟中谍》系列以及未来可能开发的其他特工电影系列进行穿插。不久之后,大家就能看到詹姆斯?邦德、查理的天使们以及伊森?亨特同时出现在一张银幕当中。” Agent movie universe?! 特工电影宇宙？！ Other agent movie series? 其他特工电影系列？ James? Bond, Charlie's Angels and Eason Hunt simultaneously appear in the middle of a big silver screen. 詹姆斯?邦德、查理的天使和伊森亨特同时出现在一块大银幕当中。 ...... …… The reporter presented short silence, digests Amy at heart? Pascal just words, were quick to respond immediately that the scene seethed with excitement immediately once more. 现场记者出现了短暂的寂静,心里纷纷消化起艾米?帕斯卡尔刚刚的话语,随即很快就反应过来,现场顿时再次沸腾。 《Charlie's Angels》 and «Mission: Impossible» without doubt is recent the most irritable agent movie, 007 series of popularity like thunder reverberating in one's ears. B movie that in the past perhaps some wickedly did alternated some movies. But did not have super big laminated form to become the case of overlapping anthology, must know, this type overlapping, not only involves movie copyright. Moreover acts the leading role related whether is willing to play, is a very major problem. Is 007 series possibly presents occurring together with the 《Charlie's Angels》 series, has made many movie fans extremely anticipate, Metro Goldwyn Mayer wants to build one ambitiously so-called ‚agent movie universe’, but thinks that lets scene part is the reporter of movie movie fan is similarly excited. 《霹雳娇娃》和《碟中谍》无疑是最近几年最火爆的特工电影,007系列的知名度更是如雷贯耳。以往或许有一些恶搞的b级片将一些影片进行穿插。但却还没有超级大片形成交叉剧集的案例,要知道,这种交叉不仅涉及到电影版权。而且相关主演是否愿意出演,更是一个非常大的问题。仅仅是007系列和《霹雳娇娃》系列可能出现交集,就已经让很多影迷万分期待,米高梅野心勃勃地想要打造一个所谓的‘特工电影宇宙’,只是想想,就让现场一部分同样是电影影迷的记者激动不已。 The after silence of moment, flashing light shines once more crazily, the impatient reporter abandons the rule, inquired loudly. 片刻的寂静之后,闪光灯再次疯狂亮起,迫不及待的记者纷纷抛开规则,大声提问起来。 „Ms. Pascal. Please in detail explain that ‚agent movie universe’ does plan?” “帕斯卡尔女士。请详细解释一下‘特工电影宇宙’计划好吗？” „Ms. Pascal, Metro Goldwyn Mayer and Pierce? Three have Heroine in Bruce, Kevin Costner and 《Charlie's Angels》 discussed this issue?” “帕斯卡尔女士,米高梅与皮尔斯?布鲁斯南、凯文?科斯特纳和《霹雳娇娃》中的三位女主角讨论过这个问题吗？” „Metro Goldwyn Mayer was not worried that this plan can affect 007 series of brands?” “难道米高梅不担心这一计划会影响到007系列的品牌吗？” „......” “……” A scene chaos. Until the staff keep the order loudly, all people once more are then quiet. 现场一阵纷乱。直到工作人员大声维持秩序,所有人这才再次平静下来。 Then all people start to closely examine Amy about ‚agent movie universe’ matter. Eric will also fall to oneself issue advanced Amy and the others, is glad to gaze at all of scene idly. 接下来所有人都开始追问艾米关于‘特工电影宇宙’的事情。艾瑞克也将落到自己身上的问题推到了艾米等人身上,乐得清闲地注视着现场的一切。 ‚Agent movie universe’, without a doubt, was the Eric basis afterward that a series of ‚Marvel Cinematic Universe’ and „d movie universe” and „monster movie universe” and so on derivation came. previous life 007, 《Charlie's Angels》 and «Mission: Impossible» and other series divide to belong to different Film Studio, wants to appear overlapping, radically is impossible. ‘特工电影宇宙’,毫无疑问,是艾瑞克根据后来那一系列‘漫威电影宇宙’、“d电影宇宙”、“怪兽电影宇宙”之类衍生而来。前世的007、《霹雳娇娃》、《碟中谍》等系列都分属于不同的电影公司,想要出现交叉,根本就是不可能的。 But this space and time is different, Eric few days ago accidentally realized that in these original space and times famous agent movie, along with the conformity of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, will belong to Film Studio completely, has produced the movie that completes besides these three, including copyright of «The Bourne Identity» series in the Flower Films hand, builds belongs to the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent movie universe alone, the feasibility is actually very big. 但这一时空却不同,艾瑞克前些日子偶然意识到,这些原时空中大名鼎鼎的特工电影,随着米高梅的整合,将全部归属于一家电影公司,除了这三部已经制作完成的影片外,连《谍影重重》系列的版权都在花朵影业手中,那么,打造独属于米高梅的特工电影宇宙,可行性却是非常大的。 Although the backgrounds of several series are various, but this is not the issue. 虽然几个系列的背景各不相同,但这丝毫不是问题。 Except for quite alternative «The Bourne Identity», several other agent big pieces, its plot core nothing else but four characters: Saves the world. 除了比较另类的《谍影重重》,其他几部特工大片,其剧情核心无外乎四个字:拯救世界。 So long as according to this subject, creates a complete world background, places under this story background to manufacture several big series completely, first starts from the single movie, and ultimately forms occurring together, jointly copes with some big villain, completes to save the world the duty, the entire story was completed. 只要按照这个主题,创造出一个完整的世界背景,将几大系列全部放在这一故事背景下进行制作,先从单人电影开始,并最终形成交集,共同对付某一大反派,完成拯救世界的任务,整个故事就完成了。 Meanwhile, overlapping of several big agent movies, will bring more widespread topic and influence for these series, in all these behind, naturally is a huger economic efficiency. 同时,几大特工电影的交叉,也将为这几个系列带来更加广泛的话题度和影响力,在所有这些背后,当然是更加庞大的经济效益。 Really, when Metro Goldwyn Mayer after release conference announced that will unite 007 series, the 《Charlie's Angels》 series and «Mission: Impossible» series build the independent agent movie universe, next day, the media of North America and even world start to seethe with excitement. 果然,当米高梅在发布会上宣布将联合007系列、《霹雳娇娃》系列和《碟中谍》系列打造单独的特工电影宇宙后,第二天,北美乃至全世界的媒体都开始为之沸腾起来。 „James? Bond, Charlie's Angels and Eason Hunt, several big silver screen agent heroes appear in the middle of the same silver screen, has saying that imagines merely, the impulsion of I intense entering movie theater. Hopes Metro Goldwyn Mayer to be able this series to build really completely.” “詹姆斯?邦德、查理的天使和伊森亨特,几大银幕特工英雄出现在同一张银幕当中,不得不说,仅仅只是想象一下,我都有一种强烈的走进电影院的冲动。但愿米高梅真的能够将这个系列完完全全打造出来。” „I suspect the feasibility of this plan, along with the Box Office successes of three big movie series, Pierce? Bruce, Kevin Costner as well as the Charlie's Angels groups, the salary has achieved surely the rank, if builds up five people, merely is only the salary disbursement, will be a very terrifying digit, will be very difficult to imagine, will have the overlapping, complete movie budget really will go to the how terrifying situation. Perhaps, in the future when screens, movie global Box Office must achieve 1 billion USD, can recoup the cost.” “我非常怀疑这个计划的可行性,随着三大电影系列的票房成功,皮尔斯?布鲁斯南、凯文?科斯特纳以及霹雳娇娃三人组,片酬都已经达到千万级别,如果将五个人集结起来,仅仅只是片酬支出,都将是一个非常恐怖的数字,很难想象,真的产生交叉,完整的电影预算将达到多麽恐怖的地步。或许,将来上映时,影片全球票房要达到10亿美元,才能够收回成本吧。” „This without doubt is a very stupid idea, does not know whether really Eric Williams had become confused the brains by own success, the agent movie universe, three potential infinite big piece alternations, does not pay attention to slightly, ruins three series reputation on the possibility. Perhaps this is only one that Metro Goldwyn Mayer throws laughs uproariously. After all, they will soon implement the stock to issue additionally the plan.” “这无疑是一个非常愚蠢的想法,真不知道艾瑞克?威廉姆斯是否已经被自己的成功冲昏了头脑,特工电影宇宙,将三部潜力无限的大片穿插,稍不注意,就可能将三个系列口碑同时毁掉。或许这只是米高梅抛出来的一个噱头吧。毕竟,他们即将实施股票增发方案了。” „......” “……” Media in abundance report at the same time, on the plate of Yahoo Internet forum specially opening is also discussion sound one piece, but, to media various different insights, the movie fans unified has actually had the anticipation to the movie. Following, the «007 GoldenEye» Box Office trends of being screened presented the large scale rise, the audience to seek for the movie with other series of possible overlapping painted eggshells, enters the movie theater in abundance once more, arrives the third week, the organization forecast that «007 GoldenEye» Box Office will soon fall below 20 million USD, but along with this news, the new week, «GoldenEye» Box Office has actually attained million USD Box Office.( To be continued.) 媒体纷纷报道的同时,雅虎网络论坛专门开启的板块上也是议论声一片,不过,相对于媒体人各种各样不同的见地,影迷们却是非常统一地对电影产生了期待。随之而来的,是正在上映的《007之黄金眼》的票房走势出现了大幅度上升,观众为了寻找影片与其他系列可能的交叉彩蛋,纷纷再次走进电影院,来到第三周,原本机构预测,《007之黄金眼》的票房即将滑落到2000万美元以下,但随着这条消息,新的一周,《黄金眼》的票房却拿到了00万美元票房。(未完待续。)
