Along with the stimulation of a series of advantage good news, before the Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock price 10.5 USD from summer files rose 13.7 USD after media release conference. ¥ f, 随着一系列利好消息的刺激,米高梅的股价已经由暑期档之前的10.5美元一路涨到了媒体发布会之后的13.7美元。¥f, Completes the conformity of three companies, the new Metro Goldwyn Mayer total capital stock achieves 3.6 500 million stocks, when the stock price achieves 13.7 USD, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer market value breaks through 5 billion USD smoothly. Therefore, the following 70 million stock issues additionally the plan, will be Metro Goldwyn Mayer will bring about 1 billion USD cash, by this fund, Metro Goldwyn Mayer will thoroughly also get rid has pestered in debt shadow, will step onto the benign development the path. 完成三家公司的整合,新米高梅的总股本达到3.65亿股,当股价达到13.7美元时,米高梅的市值顺利突破50亿美元。因此,接下来的7000万股增发计划,将为米高梅带来10亿美元左右的现金,凭借这笔资金,米高梅也将彻底摆脱一直纠缠在身上的债务阴影,走上良性发展的道路。 The stock issues additionally the matters concerned to complete in the following several months by the Metro Goldwyn Mayer high level, after media release conference, Eric branched out part of energy, start is the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent movie universe prepares. 股票增发事宜将由米高梅高层在接下来几个月内完成,媒体发布会之后,艾瑞克分出了一部分精力,开始为米高梅特工电影宇宙进行筹划。 Charlie's Angels and Mission: Impossible are the agent movies of recent two years of rising, although is by the established TV series reorganization, but joins the agent movie universe, has not received too the sound of opposition, instead has caused sound of the anticipation among the movie fan. 霹雳娇娃和碟中谍都是最近两年崛起的特工电影,虽然都是由老牌电视剧改编,但加入特工电影宇宙,并没有收到太多反对的声音,反而在影迷当中引起了一片期待之声。 Eric makes 007 series join this plan actually, has stirred the controversy. Focal point of majority of dispute, lies in this plan may dilute 007 series of name effects. The media also specially interviewed for this reason have successively held 007 actors, first 007 actor Shane Connelly openly expressed that to opposition of this plan, claimed that Metro Goldwyn Mayer this was acting unreasonably. 倒是艾瑞克让007系列加入这一计划,引起了一些争议。大部分争议的焦点,都在于这个计划可能会稀释007系列的品牌效应。媒体为此还特意采访了历任007的扮演者,首任007的扮演者肖恩康纳利更是公开表示对这个计划的反对,声称米高梅这是在乱来。 Eric closes with a smile regarding the sounds of these oppositions. 艾瑞克对于这些反对的声音都只是一笑置之。 So far, 007 series of original works novels, besides Casino Royale, other had been patted completely before 1987. 到目前为止,007系列的原著小说,除了一部皇家赌场外,其他的已经全部都在1987年之前被拍完了。 Moreover, even if before 1987 these series of works, had not much to do with the Ian Fleming's novel, just to prove own blood relationship. 007 series of almost every volume of titles, are accustomed to contact farfetched with Ian Fleming, or is the Ian Fleming's pet name. Is the Ian Fleming's taking vacation hut name, or is a few words in Ian Fleming novel. 而且,即使1987年之前的那些系列作品,很多也都跟伊恩弗莱明的小说没有太大关系,只不过为了证明自己的血统。007系列几乎每一集的标题,都习惯于牵强附会地与伊恩弗莱明联系起来,或者是伊恩弗莱明的宠物名字。或者是伊恩弗莱明的度假小屋名字,又或者是伊恩弗莱明小说里的一句话。 What somewhat satirized was. In 007 series only attained global to surpass 10 USD Box Office backdrop murderous intentions, this title that continued makes, completely has not actually related with Ian Fleming, instead Metro Goldwyn Mayer screenwriter team obtained the name at that time. 有些讽刺的是。007系列中唯一一部拿到了全球超过10美元票房的天幕杀机,这部续作的标题,却与伊恩弗莱明完全没有关系,反而是当时米高梅编剧团队自己取得名字。 It looks like in Eric, this type farfetched almost does not need, 007 series of biggest superiority, are actually its dozens years in the popularity in the global range having. As for Box Office rallying point, from previous 007 Licence to Kill North America, only then 34 million USD can see. 007 series of Box Office rallying points are actually not high, if you cannot make a story, even if the fame is big, the audience will not show respect for somebody's ability in the same old way. 在艾瑞克看来,这种牵强附会几乎完全没有必要,007系列最大的优势,其实就是它几十年时间在全球范围内产生的知名度。至于票房号召力,从上一部007之杀人执照北美只有3400万美元就可以看出。007系列的票房号召力其实并没有那么高,如果你不能把一个故事拍好,即使名气再大,观众照样不会买账。 Reason that Eric has the agent movie universe idea, actually is also received the original space and time the 007 influences of Daniel Craig edition. 艾瑞克之所以产生特工电影宇宙的想法,其实也是受到原时空中丹尼尔克雷格版本的007的影响。 In the original space and time, around the new century 007 series, Casino Royale without doubt is the reputation and Box Office very splendid one. 原时空中,新世纪前后的007系列,皇家赌场无疑是口碑和票房都非常出色的一部。 Although 007 series like flaunting their blood relationship, but the majority of times, are accustomed to each collection build a brand-new story, often also therefore completely discard the popularity that the beforehand some roles accumulate. This has saying that is a very regrettable waste. 007系列虽然喜欢标榜自己的血统,但大部分时候,都习惯于每集打造一个全新的故事,往往也因此将之前一些角色积累的知名度完全丢弃。这不得不说是一种非常遗憾的浪费。 007 of Daniel Craig edition actually took another road, looks like in Eric, the emergence of this road is also accidental. 丹尼尔克雷格版本的007却走出了另外一条路,在艾瑞克看来,这条路的出现也非常偶然。 After Casino Royale attains to be successful greatly. Metro Goldwyn Mayer started sequel manufacture impatiently, what is awful, in the process of sequel manufacture, has just caught up with 2008 Hollywood screenwriter big strike, did not have the means to past such, convened famous screenwriter to build a brand-new story anthology, but, manufactured the team only to be able based on Casino Royale, pieced together fragmentarily. Created a plot Casino Royale sequel, was the quantum crisis. 皇家赌场大获成功之后。米高梅迫不及待地开启了续集制作,但糟糕的是,续集制作的过程中,刚好赶上了2008年的好莱坞编剧大罢工,根本没办法向以往那样,召集大牌编剧打造一部全新的故事剧集,无奈之下,制作团队只能在皇家赌场的基础上,零零碎碎拼拼凑凑。创造出了一部情节紧接着皇家赌场的续集,也就是量子危机。 Has not looked at the Casino Royale audience. Even will unable to understand the plot that this continues makes. Therefore can want to see, Metro Goldwyn Mayer did not hold anything to expect regarding this sequel. But surprisingly, this makes many audiences somewhat unable to feel the brains the sequel, has actually created before makes equally matched close 600 million USD global Box Office. 没有看过皇家赌场的观众。甚至会看不懂这部续作的情节。因此可以想见,原本米高梅对于这部续集是根本不抱什么期望的。但让人惊讶的是,这部让很多观众有些摸不着头脑的续集,却创造了与前作不相上下的接近6亿美元的全球票房。 Therefore, starts from the quantum crisis, Metro Goldwyn Mayer as if straightened out. Their no longer each volume totally gets rid of volume one story, no longer exhaustively seeks for a big villain for each volume of Bond, for no longer the so-called blood relationship forcefully relates the story and Ian Fleming, but broke out of past various fetters, built one to pass through several sequels the hideaway story master lines. 于是,从量子危机开始,米高梅仿佛开窍了。他们不再每一集都完全摆脱上集的故事,也不再绞尽脑汁地为每一集的邦德都寻找一个大反派,更不再为了所谓的血统强行将故事与伊恩弗莱明联系起来,而是摆脱以往的各种束缚,打造了一个贯穿几部续集的隐藏故事主线。 Under this change, afterward backdrop murderous intention, created a 007 historical peak, global Box Office has achieved 1.1 billion USD. Although afterward spirit party a piece of difference commented, has actually attained global close 900 million USD Box Office. 在这种改变之下,随后的天幕杀机,更是创造了007历史上的一个巅峰,全球票房达到11亿美元。后来的幽灵党虽然一片差评,却也拿到了全球接近9亿美元的票房。 Receives Daniel Craig 007 series of inspirations, Eric then plans the memory Pierce Brosnan following several picking a lucky day to perish, tomorrow's empire and other movies to reduce, abandons the world to seek for the villain repertoire, takes spirit party organization as ultimate Boss, drags into during Charlie's Angels and Eason Hunt this big background story setting completely, creates a complete agent movie universe. 受到丹尼尔克雷格007系列的启发,艾瑞克便计划将记忆中皮尔斯布鲁斯南后续的几部择日而亡、明日帝国等影片砍掉,抛开全世界寻找反派套路,以幽灵党这个组织为终极波ss,将查理的天使、伊森亨特全部拉入这个大背景故事设定当中,创造一个完整的特工电影宇宙。 But the beginning of this story, Eric is set at Ian Fleming not to be moved the novel of big silver screen only, Casino Royale. GoldenEye that screened also becomes 007 with the movie that old enemy Soviet Union last has contacted. 而这个故事的开端,艾瑞克便设定为伊恩弗莱明唯一没有被搬上大银幕的小说,皇家赌场。正在上映的黄金眼也将成为007与宿敌苏联最后一部有所联系的影片。 Naturally, during idea story master line, Metro Goldwyn Mayer must solve another problem, that has pestered 007 series of dozens years of lawsuits. 当然,在构思故事主线的同时,米高梅还必须解决另外一个问题,那就是纠缠了007系列几十年的一场官司。 30 many years ago, spirit party villain organization that in the Ian Fleming novel presents, has referred to setting in another writer of fiction Kevin Mike Guerro novel actually, in the past after experiencing the long lawsuit, copyright of spirit party was sentenced to Kevin Mike Guerro. 三十多年前,伊恩弗莱明小说中出现的幽灵党这个反派组织,其实是参照了另外一位小说家凯文麦克格罗瑞小说中的设定,当年经历了漫长的官司后,幽灵党的版权被判给了凯文麦克格罗瑞。 Wants the ultimate villain who spirit party is set at the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent movie universe, Metro Goldwyn Mayer to solve this copyright problem. 想要将幽灵党设定为米高梅特工电影宇宙的终极反派,米高梅必须解决这一版权问题。 Naturally, perhaps before, Metro Goldwyn Mayer is not willing to pull out several million USD copyright expenses. But at this time, related to the issue of money, regarding present Metro Goldwyn Mayer is not the major problem. Kevin Mike Guerro is also alive at this time. 2 million USD copyright expense that the opposite party starts out, looks like in Eric also can definitely accept, after all. The spirit party appeared before this 007 series of six movies, although after initial ruling. Metro Goldwyn Mayer these years again have not used, but the fame also complete value price of spirit party. 当然,或许以前,米高梅是不愿意掏数百万美元版权费用的。但此时,涉及到钱的问题,对于现在的米高梅来说已经不是大问题。凯文麦克格罗瑞此时还在世。对方开出的200万美元的版权费用,在艾瑞克看来也完全可以接受,毕竟。幽灵党已经出现在了此前007系列的六部影片当中,虽然在当初的判决之后。米高梅这些年都没有再用,但幽灵党的名气也完全值这个价钱。 Entire in August, colleague who Eric is busy with the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent movie universe, found time to go to San Francisco Silicon Valley. 整个八月份,艾瑞克在忙于米高梅特工电影宇宙的同事,也抽空前往了一趟旧金山硅谷。 After the arrangement, is responsible for researching and developing the Firefly Electronic Co. of 3 player and electronic reading officially establishes. Meanwhile, the Firefly electron also signed the request to develop the secret agreement of micro hard disk with hard disk manufacturer Seagate Technology. 经过筹备,负责研发3播放器和电子阅读器的萤火虫电子公司正式成立。同时,萤火虫电子也与硬盘厂商希捷公司签署了委托开发微硬盘的秘密协议。 Because of company not official product, therefore, the Firefly electron has only set up the electronic products R &\; D center in Silicon Valley at this time. Meanwhile. The Yahoo stockholder's rights reward plan carries out thoroughly, besides Jeff Locke and other management of leaving job, the Yahoo management basically maintains the working order. p3 and electrical-insulating cardboard book R &\; D center sets up at the same time, the Yahoo aspect also opened has built the network music store and network E-book store plan. 因为公司并没有正式的产品,因此,萤火虫电子此时只在硅谷设立了电子产品研发中心。同时。雅虎的股权奖励方案彻底落实,除了杰夫洛克等寥寥几位离职的高管外,雅虎的管理层基本保持完整状态。p3和电纸书研发中心设立的同时,雅虎方面也同时开启了打造网络音乐商店和网络电子书商店计划。 The development of micro hard disk at least also takes one year, Eric regarding setting up in the R &\; D center greatest anticipation of Silicon Valley, is not they puts out the end product as soon as possible, but seizes the chance in United States as well as the overseas registration covers complete patent copyright of 3 player all technologies. the technique content of p3 player is not actually high, so long as has attained the majority of patents ahead of time, then in the future will not be, Eric that who wants to produce can produce can also rely on this superiority. Has the absolute initiative in the network music time. 微硬盘的开发至少也需要一年时间,艾瑞克对于设立在硅谷的研发中心最大的期待,并不是他们尽快拿出成品,而是趁机在美国以及海外注册涵盖3播放器所有技术的完整专利版权。p3播放器的技术含量其实并不算高,但只要提前拿到了大部分专利,那么将来就不是谁想生产就能生产的了,艾瑞克也可以凭借这一优势。在网络音乐时代掌握绝对的主动权。 Returned to Los Angeles from San Francisco, the Firefly aspect also spreads the news, Wachowski Brothers has completed them to make the manufacture of Bound for the Director place neodymium of practicing acquiring a skill. 从旧金山返回洛杉矶,萤火虫方面也传来了消息,沃卓斯基兄弟完成了他们用于练手的导演处钕作惊世狂花的制作。 Eric hears the phone call that Katzenberg makes on the airplane. Therefore the airplane after the Santa Monica airport, rushes to not the far Playa Vista Firefly cinema city directly, entered the projection room with Katzenberg, Wachowski Brothers and the others. 艾瑞克在飞机上听到卡森伯格打来的电话。于是在圣莫妮卡机场下飞机后,直接就赶往不远的普雷亚维斯塔萤火虫影城,和卡森伯格、沃卓斯基兄弟等人一起钻进了放映室。 Bound narrated the homosexuality girl who a pair wants to get rid of the current life, designs from the Mafia old big hand swindles 2 million USD, therefore provokes the story that in the Mafia fights. 惊世狂花讲述一对想要摆脱当前生活的同性恋女孩,设计从黑手党老大手中骗取200万美元并因此挑起黑手党内斗的故事。 If rips the homosexuality and female Lord movie these coats, this is actually typical black Bang Pian, naturally, because officially the female same level element, making this movie many several points of flavor. 如果剥去同性恋、女主影片这些外衣,这其实就是一部典型的黑榜片,当然,也正式因为女同等元素,让这部影片多了几分韵味。 In the projection room, Eric watches the movie. Nodded satisfied, said to Katzenberg: „According to the quality of this movie. Operates to the new line independently, can perhaps recoup 4 500,000 USD production costs on Box Office merely. You always will again not suspect their strengths now.” 放映室里,艾瑞克看完影片。满意地点了点头,对身旁的卡森伯格道:“按照这部电影的质量。放手给新线进行运营,或许仅仅在票房上就能收回450万美元的制作成本。你现在总不会再怀疑他们俩的实力了吧。” Made these many years movies, Katzenberg has not certainly lacked the vision, nodded, says with a smile: „Naturally, I somewhat anticipated to them now.” 做了这么多年的电影,卡森伯格当然也不缺眼光,点了点头,笑道:“当然,我现在已经对他们两个有些期待了。” They exchanged several in a low voice, the captions on silver screen walked, showed indoor light to shine, Eric set out to say to Wachowski Brothers that the expression collected disturbedly: „You prepare, I hope that you can bring the dramatic team to hurry to Sydney as soon as possible, the majority of preparatory work has been completed, you only need to start shoots as soon as possible on the line.” 两人低声交流了几句,银幕上的字幕走完,放映室内灯光亮起,艾瑞克起身对表情忐忑地凑过来的沃卓斯基兄弟道:“你们准备一下吧,我希望你们能够尽快带着剧组赶去悉尼,大部分准备工作都已经完成了,你们只需要尽快开始拍摄就行。” Wachowski Brothers has gawked staring, this responded that Andy Wachowski said: „Eric, said that we passed” 沃卓斯基兄弟愣了愣,这才反应过来,安迪沃卓斯基道:“艾瑞克,这么说,我们通过了” „Yes,” Eric nodded, said: „But, I can the entire journey pay attention to the manufacture of The Matrix, therefore, hopes that you will not disappoint me.” “是啊,”艾瑞克点了点头,又道:“不过,我会全程关注黑客帝国的制作的,所以,希望你们不会让我失望。” „Naturally, Andy Wachowski will not have rubbed rubbing hands absolutely” excitedly. “当然,绝对不会,”安迪沃卓斯基兴奋地搓了搓手。 Chatted a while detail, Wachowski Brothers hastily left, Katzenberg brought Eric to come to the office together, mentioned another matter: „Eric, according to digital domain current scale, even if supported Firefly and Metro Goldwyn Mayer two filmmaking merely somewhat were strenuous, we also had many other Film Studio orders, Stan also discussed with me yesterday that hopes can continue to expand the digital domain staff scale.” 聊了一会儿细节,沃卓斯基兄弟匆匆离开,卡森伯格带着艾瑞克一起来到办公室,谈起了另外一件事:“艾瑞克,按照数字领域当前的规模,即使仅仅支撑萤火虫和米高梅两家的电影制作就已经有些吃力了,我们还有很多其他电影公司的订单,斯坦昨天还跟我商量,希望能够继续扩大数字领域的员工规模。” After Metro Goldwyn Mayer takes the stock rail, two companies every year the CG Special Effects movie of product will be no less than 5, according to each movie, even if 500 people of special effect teams, will need 2500 people. Meanwhile, the application of CG Special Effects is also getting more and more widespread, even if not the movie of principal special effect, needs the special effect company to process many scene, therefore, for these years could be said as the golden age of special effect company. So long as you have enough technology, will not lack the project, but like digital domain profession jumbo, live moistens. 在米高梅走上正轨之后,两家公司每年出品的g特效电影将不少于5部,按照每部影片哪怕500人的特效团队,就需要2500人。同时,g特效的应用也越来越广泛,即使不是主打特效的电影,也需要特效公司处理很多镜头,因此,这几年可以说是特效公司的黄金时代。只要你拥有足够的技术,根本就不会缺少项目,而像数字领域这种行业巨无霸,活的更是滋润。 Just, Eric is clear, auspicious day also remaining several years of special effect company, when the new century approaches, joins special effect software development along with other further development as well as software giants of computer technology the ranks, the special effect company will be quick from the aristocrat profession reduces to the common people social stratum, at this time is taking the special effect master of high salary, will reduce when the time comes also for the technical labor. 只不过,艾瑞克却清楚,特效公司的好日子也就剩下几年时间,当新世纪来临,随着计算机技术的进一步发展以及其他软件巨头加入特效软件开发的行列,特效公司将很快从贵族行业沦落到平民阶层,此时拿着高薪的特效师,到时候也会沦落为技术民工。 Eric has planned the next few years, in the time of special effect movie most peak, carries on the listing leverage the digital domain. But at this time, is to the future considered that he is impossible to continue to expand the investment to the digital domain. 艾瑞克已经计划未来几年,在特效电影最巅峰的时刻,将数字领域进行上市套现。而此时,处于对未来考虑,他也不可能继续扩大对数字领域的投入。 Remembers soon in Australian shoots The Matrix, Eric will say: „Continues to expand in the United States native place on consider as finished, if possible, we will should better because of the overseas establishment subsidiary company, the special effect company will not consume the large amounts of society's resources, instead can create very huge tax revenue, I think that Canada, Australia or New Zealand will welcome, we can set up the subsidiary company in these countries, and will request the tax preference to them.” 想起即将在澳大利亚拍摄的黑客帝国,艾瑞克道:“在美国本土继续扩张就算了,如果可能的话,我们最好在海外创立分公司,特效公司不会消耗大量的社会资源,反而能够创造非常庞大的税收,我想无论是加拿大、澳大利亚还是新西兰都会非常欢迎的,我们可以在这些国家设立分公司,并向他们要求税收优惠。” „This good means that Katzenberg to nod actually”, said: „That, you thought that which country we are at to set up the subsidiary company more appropriate” “这倒是一个好办法,”卡森伯格点了点头,道:“那,你觉得我们在哪个国家设立分公司更合适一些” Eric thinks of New Zealand immediately, Vita numerical code that previous life and digital domain shares the honor has stemmed from this country. 艾瑞克立刻就想到了新西兰,前世与数字领域齐名的维塔数码就出自这个国家。 However, Vita work room has established at this time, was Peter Jackson a few years ago establishes for shoots his movies and several little friends, although the scale was very small, but was also fully equipped. Although Eric will feel relieved that gives Peter Jackson the The Lord of the Rings series, will not actually prop up one with the special effect company that Firefly has nothing to do with. 不过,维塔工作室此时已经成立,是彼得杰克逊前些年为了拍摄他个人的电影和几个小伙伴创立的,虽然规模很小,但也五脏俱全。虽然艾瑞克会放心地将魔戒系列交给彼得杰克逊,却不会扶植一个与萤火虫无关的特效公司。 Considers the moment, Eric saying: „Elects in Australian and New Zealand these two countries, The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings and other movies in these two national shoots, this can save many energy. Un, I can think with the Fox that side communication, after all, the News Corp foundation in Australia, we can be more preferential to Australian mansion gain through them.” 考虑片刻,艾瑞克道:“就在澳大利亚和新西兰这两个国家选吧,黑客帝国、魔戒等影片都将在这两个国家拍摄,这样可以就地节省很多精力。嗯,我会与福克斯那边沟通以为,毕竟,新闻集团的根基就在澳大利亚,我们可以通过他们向澳洲正府获取更多优惠。” Saying, Eric looked at the watch, to getting off work also to have two hours, therefore said to Katzenberg: „Since this, I go to that side Fox to have a look now, you are busy first.” To be continued. 说着,艾瑞克看了看表,离下班还有两个多小时,于是对卡森伯格道:“既然这样,我现在就去福克斯那边看看,你先忙吧。”未完待续。
