Although Thales is the ordinary household housewife of not any opinion, is not silly, from Eric with the daughter short look exchange in, saw some clue approximately. 泰雷兹虽然是个没什么主见的普通家庭主妇,却也不傻,从艾瑞克与自己女儿短暂的眼神交流中,大致也看出了一些端倪。 However, since Eric complies face to face, she thought that this kind of great person, um, although was too younger, is actually insufficient to deceive them. 不过,艾瑞克既然当面答应下来,她就觉得,这样一个大人物,嗯,虽然太年轻了一些,却也不至于骗她们吧。 Since Eric complied with Miranda with Disney Channel to sign, Thales then asked the matter that another most cared about. 既然艾瑞克答应了米兰达可以与迪斯尼频道签约,泰雷兹便问起了另外一件自己最关心的事情。 „, Does Eric, keep the United States matter about Miranda?” “那么,艾瑞克,关于米兰达留在美国的事情？” Eric said: „But son woman, if not feel relieved, you can definitely keep United States to look after Miranda.” 艾瑞克道:“可儿女士,如果不放心的话,你完全可以留在美国照顾米兰达。” Thales shakes the head, said: „This is not good, I have my work in Brisbane, the husband and son cannot leave me. I and John meaning is, hoping Miranda can on the full-time residential school, so long as does not make a movie can stay in the school.” 泰雷兹摇头,道:“这可不行,我在布里斯班有自己的工作,丈夫和儿子也都离不开我。我和约翰的意思是,希望米兰达能够上全日制的寄宿学校,只要不拍戏就可以呆在学校里。” „Mama, I do not want on the residential school,” Eric just about to opens the mouth to nod, Miranda called, the parents may not have to discuss this matter with her ahead of time. Moreover, cracks a joke, on the words of residential school, that and is imprisoned to have anything to distinguish. “妈妈,我才不要上寄宿学校,”艾瑞克刚要开口点头,米兰达却已经叫了起来,父母可没有提前跟她商量过这件事啊。而且,开什么玩笑,上寄宿学校的话,那和坐牢有什么区别。 Thales has not actually been angry because of the resistance of daughter, said moderately: „Treasure, you now are underage, not on the residential school, I and your Papa did not feel relieved that keeps United States you.” 泰雷兹却没有因为女儿的抗拒而生气,语气温和道:“宝贝,你现在还未成年呢,不上寄宿学校,我和你爸爸都不放心把你一个人留在美国。” „Cannot look for temporary custodian, like this I can on the general-studies middle school,” Miranda say, turns head to look to Eric. “不是可以找临时监护人吗,这样我就可以上普通中学了,”米兰达说着,扭头看向艾瑞克。 Notes the vision of Miranda, Thales shakes the head immediately. 注意到米兰达的目光,泰雷兹立刻摇头。 „It is not good,” the Thales sound enhanced, thought that this response somewhat was disrespectful, probably she did not trust Eric, good, although this was the fact. “不行,”泰雷兹声音提高了一些,却又觉得这种反应有些失礼,好像她不信任艾瑞克似的,好吧,虽然这是事实。 , Thales had several points to make up for meaning, said: „You can obtain Actor this work, was very lucky, we cannot again troublesome Eric.” 顿了顿,泰雷兹带着几分弥补意味,道:“你能得到演员这份工作,已经很幸运了,我们可不能再麻烦艾瑞克。” Eric also shakes the head at this time, says with a smile: „According to the federal laws, I do not tally probably takes the condition of your temporary custodian, but I now bachelor.” 艾瑞克此时也摇头,笑道:“按照联邦法规,我大概也是不符合作为你临时监护人的条件,我现在可是单身汉。” Hears the Eric initiative rejection, Thales felt relieved that said to the daughter: „Nà, you heard.” 听到艾瑞克主动拒绝,泰雷兹放下心来,对女儿道:“吶,你听到了。” „But I do not want the residential school, if must like this, I rather...... Rather......” stammered two, Miranda, but the son has not said eventually rather returns to the words of Australia, turns head to look to Eric, said: „Eric, even if you cannot be my temporary custodian, but can you always help me look for an appropriate host family?” “可是我才不要去寄宿学校呢,如果非要这样,我宁愿……宁愿……”磕巴了两下,米兰达・可儿终究没有说出宁愿回澳洲的话,又扭头望向艾瑞克,道:“艾瑞克,哪怕你不能作为我的临时监护人,但你总可以帮我找一个合适的寄宿家庭吧？” Eric shrugs slightly, said: „This does not have the issue actually, but, needing your Papa Mama agreement be good.” 艾瑞克微微耸肩,道:“这倒是没问题,不过,必须要你爸爸妈妈同意才行。” Miranda, but the son sets out from Eric immediately, toward Thales that side greasy past, acts like a spoiled brat saying: „Mama......” 米兰达・可儿立刻从艾瑞克身旁起身,朝泰雷兹那边腻了过去,撒娇道:“妈妈……” Eric looks at Thales whole face helpless look, sets out saying: „I had a look at the supper well, you can discuss.” 艾瑞克看着泰雷兹满脸无奈的神色,起身道:“我去看看晚餐好了没有,你们可以商量一下。” Does not know how mother and daughter communicate, has the supper time, although Thales as before said must win the approval of husband, the manner actually completely softened. 不知道母女两人是如何沟通的,吃晚餐的时候,泰雷兹虽然依旧表示还要征得丈夫的同意,态度却已经完全软化下来。 Miranda, but the son also therefore appears very excited, like small magpie that only the desire achieves, chirp was chatting the matters of various being irrelevant on the dinner table with Eric, several years ago rode a horse to fall to arrive at some time ago the amusing thing of shoots «DOLLY» magazine title page in the farm of paternal grandmother family/home, to mention just a few. Although she is young, the skill that but watches a person's every mood has actually surpassed own mother, felt that Eric does not dislike her to expose the disposition of oneself bracelet, appearance that instead has a relish, desirably has not restrained. 米兰达・可儿也因此显得很兴奋,像只愿望达成的小喜鹊,在餐桌上叽叽喳喳地与艾瑞克聊着各种不着边际的事情,从几年前在奶奶家的农场骑马摔下来到不久前拍摄《DOLLY》杂志封面的趣事,不一而足。她虽然年龄不大,但察言观色的本事却是超过了自己的母亲,感觉到艾瑞克丝毫不反感她展露自己跳脱的性格,反而饶有兴致的模样,也就没有刻意收敛。 Eric has looked at many one generation of strong one generation of weak cases, personal experience has the Murdoch family. At this time but actually first time sees one generation of weak one generation of strong counter-examples, looks at Miranda, but the son having mind filled with opinion is exceptionally precocious but her mother Thales ear is very soft the appearance that anything has not insisted, pours also thinks very interesting. 艾瑞克看过很多一代强一代弱的案例,亲身经历的就有默多克家族。此时倒还是第一次看到一代弱一代强的反例,看着米兰达・可儿满腹主见异常早熟但她母亲泰雷兹却耳根子很软没什么坚持的样子,倒也觉得挺有趣。 Has had the supper, because hears Eric to mention the personal projection room in villa at the session, the girl then entangles the Eric hope to go to have a look, after Eric complies, Miranda, but the son throws mother alone in the small living room watches the television, drew Eric to leave the room. 吃过晚餐,因为席间听到艾瑞克说起别墅里的私人放映室,女孩便缠着艾瑞克希望能进去看看,艾瑞克答应后,米兰达・可儿将母亲单独丢在小客厅里看电视,拉着艾瑞克就出了房间。 Watches a movie, discovered that the time is around 10 : 00 o'clock at night. 看完一部电影,发现时间已经是深夜十点多。 The hotels of mother and daughter two housings in Burbank, nearby Firefly Group Headquarters, to the Cliff Peak Manor straight distance over 40 kilometers, at this time go back, although will not meet to traffic jams, actually also takes one hour. 母女两个居住的酒店在伯班克,萤火虫集团总部附近,离尖角庄园的直线距离就超过40公里,此时回去虽然不会遇到堵车,却也需要一个多小时。 Eric opens the mouth to keep a guest, although Thales thinks very improper, but sees the daughter to comply immediately, had not insisted. 艾瑞克开口留客,泰雷兹虽然觉得非常不妥,但见女儿立刻就答应下来,也就没有坚持。 Gives them to arrange the guest room, Eric to return to oneself bedroom, took a bath, by reads today latest project plan that brings from the cinema city about charge wired stage in the head. 给两人安排好客房,艾瑞克回到自己卧室,洗完澡,靠在床头读起今天从影城带回来的关于收费有线台的最新项目策划。 Charge wired stage that several cooperate gives a name temporarily is FFM , the first letters of Firefly-Fox-MGM three companies. If following less appropriate name, will not change. 几家合作的收费有线台暂时起名为FFM,既Firefly-Fox-MGM三家公司的首字母。如果后续没有更合适的名字,也就不会进行变更。 The HBO present subscription subscriber approached 10 million, although has not achieved in the Eric memory the user to surpass in peak condition of 30 million, but defers to the current 9.99 USD each month subscription expense, HBO year turnover already over 1 billion USD, because of this type of energy support, in the original space and time, HBO dares in the next few years, to invest the large amount of money to produce the massive outstanding self-made plays continually, and forms the positive cycle, consolidates oneself the profession status that step by step is hard to shake. HBO现在的订阅用户数量已经接近1000万,虽然没有达到艾瑞克记忆中用户超过3000万的巅峰状态,但按照当前9.99美元的每月订阅费用,HBO年营业额已经超过10亿美元,也正是因为这种底气支撑,原时空中,HBO才敢在未来几年,投入巨资持续制作大量优秀的自制剧,并形成良性循环,一步步巩固自身难以撼动的行业地位。 In this case, leaves the time that FFM TV Station pursues not to be many, the Eric initial plan was the imitation afterward the fever money strategy of emerging Internet company, spent the large amount of money manufacture to have the sensational effect and intense topical self-made play, simultaneously spared no effort to carry on the marketing promotion, took in the TV Station development earlier period sacrificed the profit completely as the method, accumulated the user group rapidly, to achieve with the goal that HBO contended with. 这种情况下,留给FFM电视台追赶的时间并不多,艾瑞克最初的计划是模仿后来新兴互联网公司的烧钱策略,斥巨资制作具有轰动效果和强烈话题性的自制剧,同时不遗余力进行营销推广,在电视台发展前期以完全牺牲利润为手段,迅速积累用户群,以达到和HBO抗衡的目的。 But in several company leaders discussed in the process repeatedly, the short board of Eric this plan revealed quickly. 但在几家公司掌门人反复讨论过程中,艾瑞克这份计划的短板很快显露出来。 Telematics that charge wired stage that three big companies plan to take over, the subscriber is only 1.5 million, probably is only HBO one-seventh, by this type of pitiful audience base number, the program of TV Station broadcast is splendid, in a short time is impossible to create too big social effect. 三大公司计划接手的远程通讯旗下那家收费有线台,用户数量只有150万,大概只是HBO的1,以这种可怜的观众基数,电视台播放的节目再出色,短时间内也不可能造成太大的社会效应。 After all, collects fees the wired stage and foundation wired stage is different, like Lifetime TV Station, although the initial viewing ratio was similarly horrible to look, majority of program audiences only then 1 million even 100,000 ranks, but it has 340 million total user base numbers, «America's Next Top Model» and «Project Runway» appeared, the audience wanted to watch, only needed to take up the remote control to change the stage on the line, therefore the viewing ratio soars immediately. 毕竟,收费有线台与基础有线台不同,就像Lifetime电视台,虽然当初的收视率同样惨不忍睹,大部分节目观众人数只有1000000甚至100000级别,但它却有着340000000的总用户基数,《全美超模大赛》和《天桥骄子》横空出世,观众想要收看,只需要拿起遥控器换台就行,于是收视率立刻就直线上升。 Collects fees the wired stage to subscribe the user usually actually only then several million that many, even if HBO, now subscribes the users not to surpass 10 million, because of the soaring subscription expense and hardware condition limit, the subscriber was impossible saying that grew grows, subscription user who under normal conditions, this need long-term accumulation process, HBO current this 10 million did not arrive, also has managed more than 20 years of results. 收费有线台订阅用户通常却只有几百万那么多,哪怕是HBO,现在订阅用户都还没有超过1000万,因为高昂的订阅费用和硬件条件限制,用户数量也不可能说增长就增长,通常情况下,这需要一个长期积累过程,HBO当前这1000万不到的订阅用户,也是经营了20多年的结果。 Since the FFM first goal many expands the subscriber as far as possible, experienced Murdoch put forward a simple and crude actually very practical proposal quickly, the merger and acquisition! 既然FFM第一步目标是尽可能多地扩大用户数量,经验丰富的默多克很快提出了一条简单粗暴却又非常实用的建议,并购！ Has covered entire US Fox TV Network, was News Corp in the 80's the results of many crazy merger and acquisitions. 已经覆盖了全美的Fox电视网,就是新闻集团八十年代多起疯狂并购的结果。 Besides HBO, entire North America, the broadcast content similar small charge wired stage also has. 除了HBO,整个北美,播放内容类似的小型收费有线台还有很多。 These 23 charge wired stages basically are the subsidiary companies of cable television operator, by parent company convenient channel resources, these charge wired stage dependence relatively inexpensive subscription prices, can obtain one cup of thick soup from the payment television market. 这些23线的收费有线台基本上都是有线电视运营商旗下的子公司,凭借母公司便利的渠道资源,这些收费有线台依靠相对低廉的订阅价格,也能从付费电视市场分得一杯羹。 Although the charge price is low, but in these TV Station hands grasps eventually is the high-quality payment user. Purchases several one time, merges, the user speed absolutely most start to propose the way that to want Eric more rapid. 虽然收费价格较低,但这些电视台手中掌握的终究是优质的付费用户。一次性收购几家,进行合并,用户累计速度绝对要比艾瑞克最开始提出的方式要迅速许多。 Was reading the material in hand, Eric took up the remote control to turn on the bed opposite wall hanging television conveniently, wants operator C ABC levision who had a look in the document to mention named ‚single-handedly movie channel’ what TV Station was, C ABC levision has intended to sell this to have the charge wired stages of 900,000 users, but offered actually reaches as high as 3. 1.5 billion USD, negotiations time certainly took a crosscut saw. 读着手中的资料,艾瑞克随手拿起遥控器打开大床对面的壁挂电视,想要看看文件中提到的运营商Cablevision旗下名叫‘独力电影频道’的电视台是什么样,Cablevision已经有意出售这家拥有900000用户的收费有线台,不过报价却高达3.15亿美元,谈判的时候肯定要一番拉锯了。 Found single-handedly the movie channel, a movie plot that Eric glanced several at will broadcast, on insipid shaking the head, in television picture, two not too attractive golden hair younger sister bare upper body expression empty boasting under the hormicidal mania pursued rushes on ahead to dash about wildly, this obviously was an ultra low cost frightened movie. Eric looked what several can probably guess correctly the plot to walk is the 《Scream》 pattern. 找到独力电影频道,艾瑞克随意瞟了几眼正在播放的一部影片情节,就索然无味的摇了摇头,电视画面中,两个并不算太漂亮的金发妹子倮着上身表情浮夸地在杀人狂追赶下夺路狂奔,这明显是一部超低成本惊悚电影。艾瑞克只是看几眼就大概能猜出剧情走的是《惊声尖叫》模式。 The Hollywood rotten piece proportion is very high, because the huge market suspends here, single-handedly Production Studio gathers up dozens over a million USD to follow some shoots movies, even if cannot get up the institute line, but distributes a round recording tape first, then to such as independent film channel these TV Station sell telecast power, the overseas copyright sales can also take back, numerous stroke , the profit is very good. 好莱坞的烂片比例还是非常高的,因为庞大的市场摆在这里,独力制作公司凑上几十上百万美元跟风拍摄一些影片,即使上不了院线,但先发行一轮录像带,再向诸如独立电影频道这些电视台出售播映权,海外版权贩售也能收回一点,林林总总一划拉,利润还是很不错的。 Lost the interest, Eric has been planning to change the stage, heard any sound to transmit. 失去了兴趣,艾瑞克正打算换台,就听到了什么声音传来。 Thump 咚咚咚 Eric has gawked staring, resounds until sound once more, he determined that this is not own illusion. 艾瑞克愣了愣,直到声音再次响起,他才确定这不是自己的幻觉。 Looked at the watch, unknowingly already 11 : 30. 看了看表,不知不觉已经11点半。 Found sand beach trousers to put from nearby cabinet, Eric walks to open the door, each driving start to talk, looks in peacefully the corridor is doing intentionally manipulates Miranda of finger charmingly, but son. 从旁边柜子里找到一条沙滩裤穿上,艾瑞克走去打开门,每部主动开口,安静地看着走廊里正故作娇羞地摆弄手指的米兰达・可儿。 Sized up one only to put on Eric of sand beach trousers, the girl cheek flood ruddily, has not actually flinched, blows up the brave gas channel: „Eric, I cannot fall asleep, can chat with you?” 打量了一眼只穿着沙滩裤的艾瑞克,女孩脸蛋泛起红润,却没有退缩,鼓起勇气道:“艾瑞克,我睡不着,能和你聊聊天吗？” Eric said with a smile: „If your Mama knows that you midnight secretly run away with me ‚chat’, definitely will grasp crazily.” 艾瑞克笑道:“如果你妈妈知道你半夜偷偷跑来跟我‘聊天’,肯定会抓狂的。” „My Mama usually sleeps soundly, does not know that” Miranda is saying, the body faced forward to push pushing, Eric has had to make way, the girl walked gratefully. “我妈妈通常都睡得很沉,才不会知道呢,”米兰达说着,身子朝前挤了挤,艾瑞克不得不让开了一些,女孩毫不客气地走了进来。 Eric just with enough time had not changed stage, Miranda enters the bedroom, hears the squeal in television, looked at several toward the television screen, the girl turns the head harness slightly cunningly saying: „Eric, you liked watching this movie.” 艾瑞克刚刚还没来得及换台,米兰达走进卧室,就听到电视机里的尖叫声,朝电视屏幕看了几眼,女孩扭头带着点小狡黠地说道:“艾瑞克,原来你喜欢看这种电影啊。” Eric is disinclined to explain with her closes conveniently, arrives at the bedside, the material that will read a moment ago admits in the drawer that the belt locks, although likes being together with all kinds of women, Eric silly to completely will not actually garrison to the woman. 艾瑞克懒得和她解释,顺手关上门,走到床边,将刚才阅读的资料放进带锁的抽屉里,虽然喜欢和各种各样的女人相处,艾瑞克却也不会傻到对女人完全不设防。 Locks the drawer, before Eric takes up on the headstock rests, whiles away the time with a Stephen King horror fiction, relies on the head, looks toward the girl who is shaking in the bedroom curiously. 将抽屉锁上,艾瑞克拿起床头柜上睡前消遣用的一部斯蒂芬金恐怖小说,倚在床头,朝正在卧室里好奇晃悠的女孩看去。 Miranda henceforth is actually barefoot, has not put on including the sock, the footsteps lithe looks like cat, the body actually also will only wear thin woolen sweater and jeans originally, the filament thin dress material the growth good body will have wrapped will send exquisite. 米兰达从此却是光着脚丫子,连袜子都没有穿,脚步轻盈的像只猫,身上却还穿着原本的薄毛衣和牛仔裤,纤薄的衣料将已经发育不错的身体包裹的玲珑有致。 Lay has sized up a while in the north window late at night the lights of Malibu urban district, Miranda low voice Tsk Tsk several, turned around to walk toward Eric, the movement naturally sat down on the sides of the bed very much, hefts the small body to try to feel that said: „Eric, is this bed so why big?” 趴在北边的窗边打量了一会儿深夜马里布市区的灯火,米兰达小声啧啧了几句,转身朝艾瑞克走来,动作很是自然地在床沿上坐下,掂了掂小身子试试感觉,道:“艾瑞克,这张床为什么这么大？” Eric gained ground to glance her one eyes, ‚threat’ said: „This can rest many women.” 艾瑞克抬头瞟了她一眼,‘恐吓’道:“这样可以睡很多女人。” Miranda smiled, climbs up the bed boldly directly, lies side Eric, is supine the cheek, said: „Do you want to drive away me?” 米兰达笑了笑,更加大胆地直接爬上床,趴在艾瑞克身边,仰起脸蛋,道:“你是不是想把我赶走？” Eric this time simply is disinclined to gain ground, flipped through one page of books careless, asked back: „Why said?” 艾瑞克这次干脆懒得抬头,漫不经心地翻了一页书,反问道:“为什么这么说？” „Hehe, you know.” “呵呵,你自己知道啦。” Eric said: „If I think, you were lost now.” 艾瑞克道:“如果我想的话,你现在已经被丢出去了。” Miranda, but the son has smiled, passed the moment, she said: „Eric, I want to take a bath.” 米兰达・可儿又笑了起来,过了片刻,她才说道:“艾瑞克,我想洗澡。” Eric wants to know that but actually this small spirit can turn over any cheap trick to come, the nod said: „Un, goes, bathroom in that side.” 艾瑞克倒想知道这小妖精能倒腾出什么幺蛾子来,点头道:“嗯,去吧,裕室就在那边。” „But I do not have the night clothes.” “可是我没有睡衣呢。” „You can put on my.” “你可以穿我的。” „You have not worn night clothes obviously,” Miranda was saying, but also puts out a hand, in the Eric front has selected gently , the fingertip is cool. “你明明也没有穿睡衣啊,”米兰达说着,还伸手在艾瑞克胸前轻轻点了下,指尖凉凉的。 Eric fishes that white shirt that the daytime wears: „Nà, waits to put on this.” 艾瑞克捞起自己白天穿的那件白色衬衫:“呐,等下穿这个吧。” Miranda, but the son receives, with shook two in the hand, gains ground to have a look at Eric, sees a he indifferent appearance, the small nose wrinkled the wrinkle slightly, gets out of bed toward bathroom walks. 米兰达・可儿接过来,拿在手里晃了两下,抬头看看艾瑞克,见他一副无所谓的模样,小鼻子微微皱了皱,就下床朝裕室走去。 Eric hears the bathroom gate closed sound, looked up the eye, shrugged. 艾瑞克听到裕室门被关上的声音,抬头看了眼,耸耸肩。 These years experienced too many women, are also various to his manner, the behavior of Miranda does not make him feel extremely accidentally, some only small spirit of past years may such diligently entangles him. 这些年经历了太多女人,对他的态度也各种各样,米兰达的行为并不让他感觉太过意外,当年的某只小妖精可就是这么孜孜不倦地缠上他的。 Remembers Drew, Eric unknowingly recalls the rebirth these years experiences. 想起德鲁,艾瑞克不知不觉回忆起重生这些年的经历。 Walks step by step, Eric had forgotten the side has presented many women, his mentality also step by step changes, from most starts the spirit that to fly upwards, to the present game life. 一步步走来,艾瑞克已经忘记了身边出现过多少个女人,他的心态也一步步变化,从最开始的意气飞扬,到现在的游戏人生。 Before always hopes that embraced each women of liking in the side, now this thoughts gradually are pale. 以前总是希望把每一个喜欢的女人都揽在身边,现在这种心思却渐渐淡去。 Eric discovered own not suitable playboy founder Hugh Hefner that type to have the day that woman very surrounds every time, in his bone even is a quite lonely person, likes peacefully, does not need to be many in woman frequently, 1-2 on the line, he do not like the appearance accompanying together, the thoughts were pale, respectively leaves. 艾瑞克发现自己并不适合花花公子创始人休・海夫纳那种每时每刻都有很女人环绕的日子,他骨子里甚至是一个比较冷清的人,喜欢安静,经常在身边的女人不需要多,一两个就行,他也不喜欢长相厮守,心思淡了,就各自离开。 Perhaps, Drew most understands own that person, although the girl wishes one could greasily every time side him, such has not actually done, but a young housewife helps him handle all in life likely. 或许,德鲁才是最了解自己的那个人吧,丫头虽然恨不得每时每刻都腻在他身边,却从来没有这么做,只是像个小管家婆似地帮他打理着生活中的一切。
