Where is the capital of Australia? 澳大利亚的首都是哪里？ Possibly the 80% person first responses are Sydney. 可能80的人第一反应是悉尼。 A simpler issue is often easier to answer wrong. 越简单的问题往往越容易答错啊。 Therefore, under the remaining that some people 10% slightly will hesitate, has remembered another city of Australia, Melbourne. 于是,剩下那部分人里又有10会稍微迟疑下,想起了澳大利亚的另外一个城市,墨尔本。 However, these two answers are wrong, the capital of Australia is Canberra, has the feeling in the majority of person heart is not the too strong city. 不过,这两个答案都是错的,澳大利亚的首都是堪培拉,一个在大部分人心中存在感都不是太强的城市。 Returns after Mexico, Eric stayed for one week in Los Angeles, once more leaves to fly to the Australia of Southern Hemisphere. 从墨西哥返回后,艾瑞克在洛杉矶停留了一个星期,就再次动身飞往南半球的澳大利亚。 The «RMS Titanic» absence summer the files have not been able to change, remaining two movie «The Matrix» and «The Rock» absolutely makes no mistake, «The Rock» is John Wu Zhidao, the shoots place is also leaving Los Angeles not far San Francisco, the company follows up this movie to be convenient, does not have the too big problem. 《泰坦尼克号》缺席暑期档已经无法改变,剩下的两部影片《黑客帝国》和《勇闯夺命岛》就绝对不容有失,《勇闯夺命岛》是约翰・吴执导的,拍摄地点也在离洛杉矶不远的旧金山,公司跟进这部影片非常方便,也不存在太大问题。 However, «The Matrix» was different, although believes the Wachowski Brothers ability, but their after all new person Director. Let alone, this movie entire journey in Sydney shoots, and has full authority and responsibility for later the special effect by Australian Subsidiary company of digital domain, the entire producuction process of movie is far away from Los Angeles, Eric then decides to hurry to personally, examines the manufacture progress of movie. 不过,《黑客帝国》却不同了,虽然相信沃卓斯基兄弟的能力,但两人毕竟还是新人导演。更何况,这部电影全程都在悉尼拍摄,并且由数字领域的澳大利亚分公司全权负责后期特效,电影的整个制作过程都远离洛杉矶,艾瑞克便决定亲自赶去一趟,查看电影的制作进度。 Compared trip dragging in lots of people in Mexico, Eric goes to Sydney to travel light. 相比于墨西哥之行的兴师动众,艾瑞克前往悉尼就轻车简从了许多。 Besides «The Matrix», other Eric also matters must process, could treat 1-2 weeks of time in Australia, Kelly takes single Mama, did not suit the colleague, Eric has then adjusted two assistants from the assistant office, added on four bodyguards again, one line of seven people flew to Australia. 除了《黑客帝国》外,艾瑞克还有其他一些事情要处理,可能要在澳洲待上一两周时间,凯莉作为单亲妈妈,并不适合同行,艾瑞克便从助理办公室里调了两名助理,再加上四名保镖,一行七人飞往澳大利亚。 The shoots work of «The Matrix» completed shoots at the end of last year, Wachowski Brothers has manufactured three -and-a-half hour of thick scissors versions , the main late special effect work also started. 《黑客帝国》的拍摄工作在去年年底就完成了拍摄,沃卓斯基兄弟已经制作出了三个半小时的粗剪版,主要的后期特效工作也已经开始。 Headquarters of digital domain Australia Subsidiary company in Sydney City Center Camperdown area, close to University of Sydney, because has the United States Headquarters full technical support, in addition in the Australian powerful News Corp coordination, the Australian Subsidiary company development is rapid, at this time had over 200 staff, presently is mainly responsible for the late special effect work of «The Matrix». 数字领域澳洲分公司的总部在悉尼市中心坎珀当区,临近悉尼大学,因为有着美国总部充分的技术支持,再加上在澳洲实力雄厚的新闻集团配合,澳洲分公司发展非常迅速,此时已经拥有了超过200名员工,当前主要负责《黑客帝国》的后期特效工作。 Eric stays in a hotel near University of Sydney, to digital domain subsidiary company, be only less than one kilometer distance, facilitates nearby works. 艾瑞克下榻在悉尼大学附近的一家酒店,离数字领域分公司只有不到一公里的距离,方便就近工作。 Although is completely because of the personal traveling schedule of work reason, Eric just under the airplane, as before received welcome of Sydney mansion congressman, and will invite Eric to attend a next evening charitable cocktail party. As the News Corp supreme headquarters, is responsible for some News Corp newspaper publication services in Australia at this time Murdoch eldest son Lachlan Murdoch also the airplane under Eric soon telephones, inviting him to participate in personal party. 虽然是完全因为工作原因的私人行程,艾瑞克刚刚下飞机,依旧受到了悉尼市正府一位议员的迎接,并邀请艾瑞克参加第二天晚上的一个慈善酒会。作为新闻集团的大本营,此时在澳大利亚负责新闻集团部分报纸出版业务的默多克长子拉克兰・默多克也在艾瑞克下飞机不久就打电话过来,邀请他参加一个私人派对。 Because needs but actually the reason of time difference, is adding on continual treating with courtesy, Eric three days of time cannot afterward the thrust build-up. 因为需要倒时差的缘故,在加上连续的应酬,艾瑞克随后三天时间都没能进入工作状态。 Fourth day early morning, but also is having some hangovers dizziness, the Eric hotel door was then sounded. 第四天一大早,还带着些许宿醉的眩晕,艾瑞克酒店房门便被人敲响。 Opens the door, «The Matrix» producer Robert Cott stands in out of the door, because is unable Qiao Silver digs to Firefly is responsible for the «The Matrix» project, the company has selected Robert finally Cott, a 40-year-old middle-aged person, before he is , the producer in Disney system, started to hold the post of the work of producer from the 80's middle ten days, was the experience is rich. 打开门,《黑客帝国》的制片人罗伯特・科特站在门外,因为无法将乔・西尔沃挖到萤火虫负责《黑客帝国》项目,公司最终选中了罗伯特・科特,一个40多岁的中年人,他原本是前迪斯尼体系内的制片人,从八十年代中旬就开始担任制片人的工作,也算是经验丰富。 Looks at the hair disorderly whole face tired look Eric, Robert on Cott face is somewhat surprised, said scruple: „Sorry, Eric, I do not know that you are still resting.” 看着头发凌乱满脸倦色的艾瑞克,罗伯特・科特脸上有些惊讶,迟疑道:“抱歉,艾瑞克,我不知道你还在休息。” Eric only wears trousers at this time, the light the upper body, the image somewhat is even sloppy, hears word lifted the empty wrist/skill subconsciously, in the discovery wrist/skill did not have the trail of watch, does not know that conveniently where last night lost went, must ask that Robert Cott said: „Now several : 00?” 艾瑞克此时只穿着一条长裤,光着上身,形象甚至有些邋遢,闻言下意识抬了抬空荡荡的手腕,却发现手腕上没有了手表的踪迹,也不知道昨晚随手丢哪里去了,只得问罗伯特・科特道:“现在几点了？” „9 : 30,” Robert Cott replied: „You had said today's nine o'clock will go to that side the special effect company, passed the time, I come to have a look.” “九点半,”罗伯特・科特答道:“你说过今天九点钟会去特效公司那边,过了时间,我才过来看看。” „Oh, sorry,” Eric shook under the head, said: „Last night had gotten drunk, that side you go first, I, um, 10 : 30 in the past.” “哦,抱歉,”艾瑞克又晃了下脑袋,道:“昨晚被人灌醉了,你先去那边吧,我,嗯,十点半过去。” „Good,” Robert Cott nods, said: „Does Eric, need me to help you call the room service?” “好的,”罗伯特・科特点点头,又道:“艾瑞克,需要我帮你叫客房服务吗？” The Eric rejection said: „Does not use, I took a bath probably, have a breakfast on the line.” 艾瑞克拒绝道:“不用,我大概洗个澡,吃点早餐就行了。” Robert Cott um, no longer said anything, said goodbye to leave. 罗伯特・科特嗯了一声,不再说什么,告辞离开。 Eric closes the door, took off clothes to sneak in bathroom, has put the hot water, will soak in the bathtub, the spreading out body, recalled some last night matters comfortably. 艾瑞克关上房门,脱掉身上的衣服就钻进了裕室,放了热水,将自己泡进浴缸里,舒服地伸展开身体,回忆起了一些昨晚的事情。 Last night on invitation what he attended is Lachlan Murdoch party that was held in the Sydney suburbs Murdoch family manor. 昨晚他应邀出席的是拉克兰・默多克在悉尼市郊默多克家族庄园里举行的派对。 Eric and Murdoch two son Lachlan and James have several reasons, perhaps is the Murdoch work is too negligent to teach busily, these two can be said as the standard playboys, last year Lachlan Murdoch came the Australian supreme headquarters to be responsible for the News Corp publication service by the Old Murdoch placement, at press conference that but is making an appearance for the first time, Lachlan Murdoch by being dumbfounded that reporter several words asked that did not have the response capability. Here had been controlled Australia of over 70% media channels by News Corp, the reporter is cunning must to Crown Prince News Corp the master face, thus it can be seen Lachlan the performance of Murdoch is awful, this matter also lets Old Murdoch is very disappointed. 艾瑞克与默多克的两个儿子拉克兰和詹姆斯都有着几面之缘,或许是默多克工作太忙疏于管教,这两人可以说是标准的纨绔子弟,去年拉克兰・默多克被老默多克安置来澳洲大本营负责新闻集团的出版业务,但在首次露面的记者会上,拉克兰・默多克就被记者几句话问的哑口无言,毫无应对能力。这里可是被新闻集团控制了70%以上媒体渠道的澳洲啊,记者再刁钻也不可能不给新闻集团太子爷面子,由此可见拉克兰・默多克的表现有多么糟糕,这件事也让老默多克很是失望。 In addition, Eric can also feel these two fellows not to like itself clearly. Because their two are almost with themselves same age . Moreover, the expectations of Old Murdoch to two sons is very big, this can also want to see, a father of hoping that a son will grow up to be successful will drive with the contemporaries absolutely two wearies children, Eric without doubt is the best flaunting object, but often hears oneself old man to talk over, they ‚the child of others family/home’ resentment to Eric this read can also be imagined. 此外,艾瑞克也能够清楚地感受到这两个家伙并不喜欢自己。因为他们两个差不多算是与自己同龄,而且,老默多克对两个儿子的期望还是很大的,这也就可以想见,一个望子成龙的父亲绝对会拿同龄人激励一下自己两个惫懒的孩子,艾瑞克无疑是最好的标榜对象,而经常听到自家老头念叨,他们对艾瑞克这个‘别人家的孩子’怨念也就可想而知。 Receives entertainment party that the Old Murdoch injunction conducts obviously, but, last night Lachlan Murdoch invited troop contemporaries, the enthusiasm at least in the surface showing is incomparable, regardless of the men and women as if receive exhorts specially go forward to Eric to propose a toast in turn. 明显是受到老默多克嘱咐举办的招待派对,不过,昨晚拉克兰・默多克却是请了一大群同龄人,至少表面上表现的热情无比,无论男女都似乎受到特别嘱咐似的轮流上前向艾瑞克敬酒。 Finally, Eric only remembers one are supported by the arm in the car(riage) by the bodyguard. 最后,艾瑞克只记得自己是被保镖搀扶进车里的。 Recalled last night situation, Eric is laughing in spite of trying not to shaking the head, did not have to be angry actually, after all, Murdoch these two sons were more good-for-nothing, in the future Elizabeth inherits the entire News Corp opportunity to be bigger, Eric looked forward to them to deliberately create trouble actually. 回忆着昨晚的情形,艾瑞克失笑着摇了摇头,倒是没有太生气,毕竟,默多克这两个儿子越不成器,将来伊丽莎白继承整个新闻集团的机会才越大,艾瑞克倒是巴不得他们更胡闹一些。 Has taken a bath, Eric wears the clothes to go to downstairs dining room, he brings Australia of Peter two assistants Ritchie waited here. 洗过澡,艾瑞克穿好衣服来到楼下餐厅,他带来澳洲的两个助理之一彼得・里奇已经等在这里。 Eric has ordered a breakfast, when the attendant leaves, Peter Ritchie walked, reported the two days work, said: „Mr. Williams, I have related Kate Blanchette's manager, but, has not seen her, her manager said that Miss Blanchette is in Brisbane shoots TV series.” 艾瑞克点了一份早餐,等侍应生离开,彼得・里奇就走了过来,汇报起了自己这两天的工作,道:“威廉姆斯先生,我已经联系到了凯特・布兰切特的经纪人,不过,并没有见到她本人,她的经纪人说布兰切特小姐正在布里斯班拍摄一部电视剧。” Eric interrupts the words of assistant, doubts said: „Brisbane?” 艾瑞克打断助理的话,疑惑道:“布里斯班？” Peter Ritchie is understanding, explains: „Brisbane is the capital of Australian northern Queensland, is next to the Australian third largest city of Sydney and Melbourne, to the Sydney probably more than 700 kilometers.” 彼得・里奇会意,解释道:“布里斯班是澳大利亚北部昆士兰州的首府,仅次于悉尼和墨尔本的澳洲第三大城市,离悉尼大概700多公里。” Eric nods, hints Peter Ritchie continues. 艾瑞克点头,示意彼得・里奇继续。 Peter Ritchie said: „Miss Blanchette's manager is warm-hearted to our invitations, he said that will make Miss Blanchette hurry back as soon as possible, sees one side with you personally.” 彼得・里奇道:“布兰切特小姐的经纪人对我们的邀约非常热心,他表示会尽快让布兰切特小姐赶回来一趟,亲自与您见一面。” Eric also asked: „That several pages of script did you give them?” 艾瑞克又问道:“那几页剧本你交给他们了吗？” „Has given Miss Blanchette's manager.” “已经交给布兰切特小姐的经纪人了。” Eric nods, said: „You continue with them maintain relation, my time are not much, if within one week cannot see the person, then on consider as finished.” 艾瑞克点点头,说道:“你继续与他们保持联系吧,我时间不多,如果一星期之内见不到人,那就算了。” Peter Ritchie said: „I knew, Mr. Williams, other matters?” 彼得・里奇道:“我知道了,威廉姆斯先生,还有其他事情吗？” „Did not have, um, that side Shane how?” Eric also asked that Shane was the name of another assistant he brought. “没有了,嗯,肖恩那边怎么样了？”艾瑞克又问道,肖恩是他带来的另外一个助理的名字。 Peter Ritchie said: „He has related the Commonwealth of Australia science and industrial research organization ( csiro ), but, we just looked up, the WIFI technology of CSIRO research and development in the North America application patent, perhaps, we have not needed to purchase from them.” 彼得・里奇道:“他已经联系上澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）了,不过,我们刚刚查到,CSIRO研发的WIFI技术还没有在北美申请专利,或许,我们并不需要向他们购买。” Eric catches up to come to Australia, besides the business in movie, another important matter, ahead of time buys the patent of WIFI technology at this time just presented that this partial monopoly has by an Australian name very long engineering research organization. 艾瑞克赶来澳洲,除了电影方面的事务外,还有另外一件重要的事情,就是提前买下此时刚刚出现的WIFI技术的专利权,这部分专利是由澳大利亚一个名字很长的技术研究组织持有的。 In the original space and time, the Australian mansion relied on merely to global counts the 1 billion stage to use the electronic installation of WIFI technology to charge the patent authorization fee, every year can obtain about 1 billion USD income. However, at this time, the Internet just emerged, will not have too many people to realize that the true value of WIFI technology, gives Eric ‚has grabbed to leak’ the opportunity exactly. 原时空中,澳洲正府仅仅凭借向全球数十亿台使用了WIFI技术的电子设备收取专利授权费用,每年就能获得将近10亿美元的进账。不过,此时,互联网才刚刚兴起,并不会有太多人意识到WIFI技术的真正价值,恰好给了艾瑞克‘捡漏’的机会。 So long as can attain the WIFI technological patent, except for large amount patent authorization expense that the future can foresee, what is more important, but can also make his hand Cisco, Yahoo, AOL and other companies in obtain the initiative and priority in the wireless network technology. 只要能够拿到WIFI技术专利,除了未来可以预见的巨额专利授权费用,更重要的是,还可以让他手中的思科、雅虎、美国在线等公司在无线网络技术上取得主动权和优先权。 Eric also understands that Peter Ritchie just the meaning in words, the WIFI technology North America application patent, Firefly definitely cannot the one cent not be colored again, so long as attains the related technical data, can in the North America application patent, appropriate to oneself the technology ahead of time. The technique that this type seizes other people technical achievement is common in various trades and occupations. 艾瑞克也明白彼得・里奇刚刚话里的意思,WIFI技术没有再北美申请专利,萤火虫完全可以一分钱不花,只要拿到相关的技术资料,就可以提前在北美申请专利,将技术据为己有。这种抢占他人技术成果的手法在各行各业都屡见不鲜。 However, Eric shook the head unquestioning, because actually moral sense of justice and so on, but is the WIFI technology future application definitely is around the world. Now even if seized the patent in North America ahead of time, when the time comes can definitely wrangle in the court with CSIRO, do not say the overseas. 不过,艾瑞克毫不迟疑地摇了摇头,倒不是因为道德正义感之类,而是WIFI技术将来的应用肯定是全世界范围内的。现在即使在北美提前抢占了专利权,到时候肯定会与CSIRO在法庭上扯皮一番,更不要说海外了。 „This necessity, has not bought the WIFI patent also to have more than enough how much money.” “没有这种必要,买下WIFI的专利权也用不了多少钱。” Dominating of WIFI technology at least also takes ten years, at present except for Eric, some impossible people to see the broad prospects of this technology, now wants to sell outright this patented technology completely, has more than enough including 10 million USD. WIFI技术的大行其道至少还需要十年时间,眼下除了艾瑞克,不可能有人看到这项技术的广阔前景,现在想要完全买断这项专利技术,连1000万美元都用不了。 The attendants carried on the Eric breakfast quickly, Eric sent Peter Ritchie, has had the breakfast, left the hotel to go by car to rush to figure domain Australia Subsidiary company Headquarters. 侍应生很快就艾瑞克的早餐端了上来,艾瑞克打发走彼得・里奇,吃过早餐,离开酒店坐车赶往数字领域澳洲分公司总部。 «The Matrix» starts from the shoots stage, Eric has been paying close attention to the Wachowski Brothers shoots progress through email and other methods, because has Robert Cott this experienced producer assists, the entire shoots process, the two brothers have not met actually greatly are too troublesome. 《黑客帝国》从拍摄阶段开始,艾瑞克就一直通过电子邮件等手段密切地关注着沃卓斯基兄弟的拍摄进度,因为有着罗伯特・科特这个经验丰富的制片人协助,整个拍摄过程,兄弟两人倒是没有遇到太大麻烦。 Following several days, Eric continuously and «The Matrix» several hosts create the post production and further editing work of discussion movie. 接下来几天,艾瑞克一直和《黑客帝国》几位主创讨论电影的后期制作和进一步的剪辑工作。 Although has the remote control instruction as well as Robert of Eric Cott's short distance supervision, Wachowski Brothers stole skillfully in the gasser toward film many individual wills. 虽然有着艾瑞克的遥控指导以及罗伯特・科特的近距离监督,沃卓斯基兄弟还是非常偷巧地往片子里加塞了很多个人意志。 Reason that the movie in original space and time attains greatly successfully, besides the real and illusory this bold and novel idea, Wachowski Brothers also played through the profound methodology that the movie shows adds the finishing touch the function, therefore, Eric has not rejected the Wachowski Brothers gasser enters in the movie ‚smuggled goods’ completely, is only according to the edition in memory, has carried on the deletion suitably, seeks for an appropriate balance between the commercial element and the methodologies movie. 原时空中的电影之所以大获成功,除了真实与虚幻这种大胆而新奇的构思外,沃卓斯基兄弟通过电影展现出来的深刻哲学思考也起到了画龙点睛作用,因此,艾瑞克并没有全部剔除沃卓斯基兄弟加塞进影片内的‘私货’,只是根据记忆中的版本,适当的进行了删减,在电影的商业元素和哲学思考间寻找一个恰当的平衡。 original «The Matrix», after shocking of first part, afterward two because both excessive releasing authority of Time Warner, making Wachowski Brothers indulge in oneself completely lets the shoots idea that the person Yunshan fog circles, even makes the movie very obscure, this caused movie reputation one to be inferior to one, Box Office also after second part rose largely, failed in the most important termination bitter experience. 原版的《黑客帝国》,在第一部的惊艳之后,随后两部都因为时代华纳的过度放权,让沃卓斯基兄弟完全沉溺于自身让人云山雾绕的拍摄理念,甚至使得电影变得非常晦涩,这才造成了电影口碑都一部不如一部,票房也在第二部的大幅上扬后,在最重要的完结篇遭遇失败。 When Eric is busy with «The Matrix» in Sydney later, Brisbane Australian mainland northern several hundred kilometers away, Kate Blanchette just completed a day of shoots work, goes out of the square, her manager Ron Rather arrives in front of the vehicle her, hints her to board. 艾瑞克在悉尼忙于《黑客帝国》后期时,澳洲大陆北部数百公里外的布里斯班,凯特・布兰切特刚刚完成一天的拍摄工作,走出片场,她的经纪人罗恩・拉瑟就将车子开到她面前,示意她上车。 Kate Blanchette pinched the woman's handbag in hand, the subconsciousness was looking at all around, even somewhat had a guilty conscience sneaked in car. 凯特・布兰切特捏着手中的坤包,下意识看了看四周,甚至有些做贼心虚地钻进了轿车里。 They have not spoken immediately, drive to two blocks outside, stops outside a cafe, got out, enters the cafe, to ordering two coffee, by the window has sat down on the seat, Kate Blanchette suddenly could not bear smile: „Ron, how I felt that what misdemeanor we do do to be the same in the premeditation probably?” 两人都没有立刻说话,开车一直到两条街区外,在一家咖啡厅外停下,下了车,走进咖啡厅,一直到点了两杯咖啡,在靠窗的位子上坐下,凯特・布兰切特才突然忍不住笑了起来:“罗恩,我怎么感觉我们好像在预谋做什么坏事一样？” Ron Rather could not bear smile, he to the present also thought that some were not real, three days ago, said that Eric the young people of Williams assistant found him suddenly, indicated that Eric Williams intended to invite Kate to play 007 Bond girl roles, Ron the Rather's first response was, the opposite party was a swindler. 罗恩・拉瑟也忍不住笑了起来,他到现在还觉得有些不真实,三天前,一个自称艾瑞克・威廉姆斯助理的年轻人突然找到他,表示艾瑞克・威廉姆斯有意邀请凯特出演007邦女郎的角色,罗恩・拉瑟的第一反应就是,对方是个骗子。 After all, although he Actress under very clear name is having very splendid performing skill, but in any event, impossible her and Eric the Williams new piece relates. 毕竟,他虽然很清楚自己名下的这位女演员拥有着非常出色的演技,但无论如何,都不可能将她和艾瑞克・威廉姆斯新片联系起来。 „I also think now inconceivable, but, this absolutely is all person long-awaited good opportunities, was not right, Kate, this matter haven't you told others?” “我现在也觉得不可思议呢,不过,这绝对是所有人梦寐以求的好机会,不是吗,对了,凯特,这件事你没有告诉别人吧？” Kate Blanchette shakes the head, says with a smile: „Naturally does not have, I do not want to be regarded the lunatic who has the daydream.” 凯特・布兰切特摇头,笑道:“当然没有,我可不想被人当成做白日梦的疯子。”
