Chapter 781 第781章 Microsoft is not always deficient opens up territory to develop the earth ambition.... ≦.... ≦ 微软从来都不缺乏开疆拓土的野心。…≦。…≦ Beyond the operating system, Microsoft once ambitiously had gotten involved in the MSN web portal service, x waves of Games Console services, compel the ng search engine service wait/etc.. 在操作系统之外,曾经的微软一度野心勃勃地涉足过msn门户网站业务,x波游戏机业务,逼ng搜索引擎业务等等。 Just, after relying on always on the great strength of slow others many racket ‚, after knowing, sleep’. 只不过,凭借着总是慢上别人很多拍的强大‘后知后觉’。 These projects, has not succeeded. 这些项目,一个都没成功。 Service online centered on MSN, loses money 13 billion USD, finally lets it go \; x waves of Games Console ten years lose money 3 billion, burnt the game ecology chain reluctantly, will pursue the ps footsteps are actually never \; Compels ng search engine aggregate deficit 10 billion, has not had the feeling in front of formidable Google completely. Other needless to say in the cell phone service, the dull service and failure in motion public relations application, even, when web portal will soon be on the decline, Microsoft could not once have seen clearly the situation to want by 46 billion USD to purchase Yahoo, ‚lucky’ bumps into the fellow who another could not see clearly the situation, this avoids a tribulation. 以msn为核心的在线服务,前后亏损130亿美元,最后不了了之\;x波游戏机十年亏损30亿,勉强烧出了游戏生态链,追赶ps的脚步却是遥遥无期\;逼ng搜索引擎累计亏损百亿,在强大的谷歌面前完全没有存在感。其他在手机业务、平板业务和移动社交应用方面的失败自不必说,甚至,在门户网站即将日薄西山的时候,微软还一度看不清形势地想要以460亿美元收购雅虎,‘幸运’地碰上了另外一个更加看不清形势的家伙,这才躲过一劫。 At this time, at the Vanity Fair party scene, Eric listens to the front door schoolmate to discuss Microsoft to march the intention of Hollywood faintly, at heart actually only then the mood of several points of watching the fun, good, we cannot look down on the person, if others did not succeed carefully. 此时,在名利场派对现场,艾瑞克听着大门同学半遮半掩地谈论微软进军好莱坞的意向,心里却只有几分看热闹的情绪,好吧,咱也不能太小瞧人,万一人家不小心成功了呢。 However, in the surface, Eric actually slightly knits the brows, disguises to admonish to say sincerely: „Bill, the Microsoft functional center should in it, I not think that you make the movie are anything are good to choose.” 不过,表面上,艾瑞克却是微微皱眉,假装诚恳地规劝道:“比尔,微软的业务中心应该在it吧,我可不觉得你们做电影是什么好选择。” „How does not try to know that” Bill Gates is actually quite self-confident, said: „Let alone, isn't Firefly stretches across it and media two big professions?” “不试试怎么知道呢,”比尔・盖茨却是相当自信,道:“更何况,萤火虫不也是横跨it和传媒两大行业吗？” Eric knows Firefly that front door schoolmate said at this time refers to the entire Firefly business empire territory, shakes the head, said: „This is different, Firefly Group and Firefly investment may be has distinguished right from wrong.” 艾瑞克知道大门同学此时说的萤火虫是指整个萤火虫商业帝国版图,摇摇头,道:“这可不一样,萤火虫集团和萤火虫投资可一直都是泾渭分明的。” Bill Gates smiles, carries front drinking glass small mouth to drink the champagne, he does not believe Eric this words. 比尔・盖茨笑笑,端起面前的玻璃杯小口喝着香槟,他是不相信艾瑞克这种话的。 Marches Hollywood, absolutely is not the result that Microsoft is prompted by a sudden impulse, the result that this is after is analyzing Firefly to have invested several big high tech company development paths obtains in detail. 进军好莱坞,也绝对不是微软心血来潮的结果,这是在详细分析了萤火虫投资旗下几大高科技公司发展轨迹后得出的结果。 With Yahoo, if no entire Firefly Group spare no effort supports on the content and marketing resources, this Internet company is impossible so rapidly to develop, brand of Yahoo in 《Charlie's Angels》 first part implants, already became the success marketing case that many companies studied to imitate. 就拿雅虎来说,如果没有整个萤火虫集团在内容和营销资源上不遗余力地支持,这家网络公司绝不可能如此迅速地发展起来,雅虎在《霹雳娇娃》第一部中的品牌植入,早已成为很多公司研究效仿的成功营销案例。 According to the statistics, Firefly invests Yahoo, AOL, Cisco as well as Nokia situated in overseas and other brands, does not calculate the obvious rigid advertisement, these brands were mentioned the number of times sum total to be over 300 times in the Firefly huge media channel network every month. This type makes the people have these brands subtly even is they live inalienable part of marketing effects, is most terrorist. 根据统计,萤火虫投资旗下雅虎、美国在线、思科以及位于海外的诺基亚等品牌,不计算明显的硬性广告,这些品牌每个月在萤火虫庞大的传媒渠道网络中被提及地次数合计超过300次之多。这种潜移默化地让民众产生一种这些品牌甚至是他们生活中不可分割一部分的营销效果,才是最为恐怖的。 On the other hand, although last year of Jeff Yahoo three giants Locker dug Microsoft to be responsible for the web portal operation, MSN web portal service that but Microsoft brought out after one year of development, although there is an improvement, but the MSN content deficient short board also quickly has actually highlighted. This aspect, Firefly Group extremely several big allies definitely will not provide any content support to Microsoft, although can also with Time Warner and other groups, but will be under the control of others eventually, while a golden opportunity of Microsoft series operating system rivers and lakes, makes use to march Hollywood, gets involved in the media profession, has become a good choice. 另一方面,虽然去年将雅虎三巨头之一的杰夫・洛克挖到了微软负责门户网站运营业务,但微软推出的msn门户网站业务经过一年的发展,虽然有所起色,但msn内容匮乏的短板却也很快凸显了出来。这方面,萤火虫集团极其几大盟友肯定是不会对微软提供任何内容支持的,虽然也可以和时代华纳等集团,但终究会受制于人,趁着微软一统操作系统江湖的大好时机,趁势进军好莱坞,涉足传媒行业,也就成了一个不错的选择。 Regarding Spielberg is head the investment of Film Studio, is only Microsoft steps into the media profession first. 对于斯皮尔伯格为首的制片厂的投资,也只是微软踏入传媒行业的第一步而已。 From last year Jeff Locker leaves Yahoo to start, between both sides has had the faint fissure, this time is only the surface is maintaining friendly. 从去年杰夫・洛克出走雅虎开始,双方之间就已经产生了隐隐的裂痕,此时只是表面保持着和气而已。 Chatted several politely, Bill Gates then sets out to get out of the way. 客气地聊了几句,比尔・盖茨便起身走开。 Eric made the attendant add one liquor water to oneself, sat considered that in the bar Microsoft entered the Hollywood possible consequence. Although does not favor Microsoft to get involved in the media profession at heart the prospect, Eric will actually not despise the opposite party, by the Microsoft strength, if Bill Gates determined marches the media profession, definitely will affect itself regarding the future layout. 艾瑞克让侍应生给自己添了一杯酒水,坐在吧台边考虑起微软杀入好莱坞的可能后果。虽然心里并不看好微软涉足传媒行业的前景,艾瑞克却不会轻视对方,以微软的实力,如果比尔・盖茨铁了心进军传媒行业,肯定会影响到自己对于未来的布局。 By the situation of present media profession, Microsoft except for cooperated to help new big Film Studio with Spielberg and the others, another two latent does not stabilize the goal to annex, separately is Columbia in Sony hand, as well as of CBS four big TV Station. 以眼下传媒行业的局势,微软除了与斯皮尔伯格等人合作成全新的大制片厂,还有另外两个潜在的不稳定目标可以吞并,分别是索尼手中的哥伦比亚,以及四大电视台之一cbs。 «Godzilla» project that Eric has been paying attention to Sony Film Industry in secret manufacture, although the movie has not begun shooting officially, but the definite Godzilla image was similar to previous life some only weak chicken Tyrannosaurus Rex, looking from this, «Godzilla» of this edition has taken the old route. If next year «Godzilla» is similar to previous life such bitter experience failure, Sony continues to manage the Columbia confidence to be attacked again, this is other people will also take over the Columbia Film Industry golden opportunity. 艾瑞克一直暗中关注着索尼影业正在制作的《哥斯拉》项目,虽然影片还没有正式开拍,但已经确定的哥斯拉形象却与前世的某只弱鸡霸王龙非常类似,从这点看,这一版本的《哥斯拉》还是走上了老路。如果明年《哥斯拉》如同前世那样遭遇失败,索尼继续经营哥伦比亚的信心将再次受到打击,这也将是其他人接手哥伦比亚影业的大好机会。 This opportunity Eric is planned to leave Metro Goldwyn Mayer, but, along with Microsoft joins to bother, when the time comes does not remove the opposite party to insert a possibility horizontally. 这个机会艾瑞克本来是打算留给米高梅的,不过,随着微软的加入搅局,到时候也不排除对方会横插一手的可能性。 Another unstable goal is CBS, initially bid after Viacom Paramount is defeated, Barry Diller initiated last year once more to the purchase of CBS TV Station, when Barry Diller almost with the CBS management and major stockholder came to an arrangement about the purchase condition, is responsible for the purchase case providing the fund Comcast suddenly to stop this project, caused Barry the motion of Diller return media profession suffered setbacks once more, CBS also therefore once again returned to treat sells the condition. 另一个不稳定目标就是cbs,当初与维亚康姆竞购派拉蒙失败后,巴里・迪勒去年再次发起了对cbs电视台的收购,只不过,在巴里・迪勒几乎与cbs管理层和大股东谈妥收购条件的时候,负责为收购案提供资金的康卡斯特突然叫停了这一项目,导致巴里・迪勒回归传媒行业的行动再次受挫,cbs也因此又一次回归到了待售状态。 Very obviously, in cooperated after Spielberg and the others establishes big Film Studio, if Microsoft wants to go a step further, Columbia Film Industry and CBS without doubt will become the best goals, when the time comes, both sides will engage in hand-to-hand combat unavoidably once more. 很显然,在与斯皮尔伯格等人合作成立大制片厂后,微软如果想要更进一步,哥伦比亚影业和cbs无疑会成为最佳目标,到时候,双方难免再次短兵相接。 Eric was pondering over countermeasure, Elizabeth and Julia holds the hand to walk together, two female wear design exactly the same suspenders formal clothes, the color was actually one black one white, strange feeling that somewhat the lover installed actually. 艾瑞克正琢磨着应对之策,伊丽莎白和茱莉亚手挽着手一同走了过来,两女穿着款式一模一样的吊带礼服,颜色却是一黑一白,倒是有几分情侣装的怪异感觉。 Arrives at the Eric near, the cat that the Julia looks like sees the master, the eye must rub toward Eric side bright and intelligent, actually held on by Elizabeth: „Hey, you now are my girlfriend, such collects toward other man on, I do not have the face.” 走到艾瑞克近前,茱莉亚像看到主人的小猫,眼睛水汪汪地就要往艾瑞克身边蹭,却被伊丽莎白一把拉住:“嘿,你现在可是我女朋友,这么往别的男人身上凑,我多没面子。” But Eric smiles, Elizabeth outward completely is one is now half real , half fake the cabinet condition, although the people know that she relates with her dim daylight younger sister, Elizabeth actually frequently flagrantly and Julia leaves double enters right, but also drew Fox Julia thoroughly, at this time in shoots Miramax responsible «Shakespeare in Love». 艾瑞克无奈笑笑,伊丽莎白现在对外完全是一副半真半假出柜状态,虽然众人都知道她和自己的暧妹关系,伊丽莎白却又经常明目张胆地和茱莉亚出双入对,还将茱莉亚彻底拉到了福克斯旗下,此时正在拍摄米拉麦克斯负责的《莎翁情史》。 For this matter, Murdoch also specially telephones to Eric, inquired that what's the matter, Eric does not know how should say, can only be perfunctory carelessly. Murdoch also worries, not only for this daughter, because, old man eldest son Lachlan, somewhat the tendency unclear trend, 25 years old finished girlfriends not to have, instead like ‚attractively’ professional model fooling around together with one crowd, um, are the male molds, this actually was also last year Lachlan Murdoch was sent to return to one of the Australian reasons by Old Murdoch 为了这件事,默多克还特意打电话给艾瑞克,询问到底是怎么回事,艾瑞克也不知道该怎么说,只能胡乱敷衍。默多克也是发愁,并不只是为这个女儿,因为,老头子的长子拉克兰,也有几分性向不明的趋势,25岁了却连个女朋友都没有,反而喜欢与一群‘漂亮’模特厮混,嗯,是男模,这其实也是去年拉克兰・默多克被老默多克打发回澳洲老家的原因之一 Racket near oneself left hand, Eric said to Julia: „Do not manage her, sits here.” 拍拍自己左手边,艾瑞克对茱莉亚道:“别理她,来坐这里。” Julia casts off Elizabeth, sat left Eric on the seat, Elizabeth stared their one eyes, actually sat down right Eric. 茱莉亚甩开伊丽莎白,坐到了艾瑞克左边位子上,伊丽莎白瞪了两人一眼,却在艾瑞克右边坐下。 Eric beckoning lets the attendant to two female preparation liquor water, nearby Julia without scruple has actually pasted, has wielded the left hand toward Eric, said: „Eric, you look, attractive?” 艾瑞克招手让侍应生给两女准备酒水,旁边的茱莉亚却毫无顾忌地贴了过来,朝艾瑞克挥了挥左手,道:“艾瑞克,你看,漂亮吗？” Eric attractive one, is that only ♥4 rose gold ring, he has not thought actually Julia will publicize the belt to come out, must know, but on ring mark ‚Williams’ symbol. 艾瑞克漂亮一眼,是那只红心4玫瑰金戒指,他倒是没想到茱莉亚会公开带出来,要知道,戒指身上可是纹着‘威廉姆斯’徽记的。 Eric initially made the person make one set according to playing cards serial number, at this time has actually only then Virginia and Joanna, Julia and Elizabeth, Drew, as well as Nicole and Famke, these seven women keep side Eric as before, other women are together some time, or Eric felt that senseless drops on own initiative, either the relations cool naturally, respectively leaves, the surplus 30 seven rings, then peacefully lie down in the Cliff Peak Manor safe cabinet. 艾瑞克当初让人按照扑克牌编号做了一整套,此时拥有的却只有维吉尼娅和乔安娜,茱莉亚和伊丽莎白,德鲁,以及妮可和法米克,这七个女人是依旧留在艾瑞克身边的,其他女人相处一段时间,或者艾瑞克感觉无趣主动放手,或者关系自然而然地冷却,都各自离开,剩余的三十七枚戒指,便安安静静地躺在尖角庄园的保险柜里。 The thoughts precipitate, is short of initial several years of frivolous of recklessly, Eric now has given rather the woman a bankcard, no longer easily took the ring, for these years, had the woman of this set of ring, as before was only seven. 心思沉淀下来,少了最初几年的肆意轻狂,艾瑞克现在宁愿交给女人一张银行卡,也不再轻易将戒指拿出来,这几年,拥有这套戒指的女人,依旧只是七个。 Seized the Julia's small hand to appreciate the moment, Eric nods with a smile: „Is very attractive,” also asked Elizabeth: „Your?” 捉住茱莉亚的小手欣赏了片刻,艾瑞克笑着点点头:“很漂亮,”又问身旁的伊丽莎白:“你的呢？” Elizabeth lifted the hand to hint, then said: „Now this is I and Julia's lover ring Oh, has not related with you. Hehe, just black eyebrow coloring onamot Moore also asked that which I am buy.” 伊丽莎白抬手示意了下,然后道:“现在这可是我和茱莉亚的情侣戒指哦,跟你可没关系。呵呵,刚刚黛咪・摩尔还问我是哪买的呢。” The Eric doubts said: „Black eyebrow coloring onamot Moore?” 艾瑞克疑惑道:“黛咪・摩尔？” Elizabeth thinks that Eric does not know black eyebrow coloring onamot who Moore is, explained: „Bruce Willis's wife, a very intelligent woman.” 伊丽莎白以为艾瑞克不知道黛咪・摩尔是谁,解释道:“布鲁斯・威利斯的妻子啊,很聪明的一个女人。” „Oh,” Eric has complied with one, changed the topic, asked: „You were were not being responsible for the «Star Pre-war Biography» arrangement recently, situation how?” “哦,”艾瑞克应了一声,转了话题,问道:“你最近不是在负责《星战前传》筹备吗,情况怎么样了？” Before 《Star Wars》 , the news that passes on had not broken, as one generation of United States memory, each news of movie almost can cause to discuss. Although Eric fights the series not to catch cold to star, was actually being affected by the innumerable news. 《星球大战》前传的消息一直都没有断过,作为一代美国人的记忆,影片的每一条消息几乎都能引起热议。艾瑞克虽然对星战系列不太感冒,却也被数不清的消息影响着。 Hears Eric to mention this matter, the Elizabeth complexion immediately becomes depressed Uzbekistan , Belgium, said: „Not to mention, George Lucas told us last week suddenly, beginning shooting of movie could postpone six months again, that side also disclosed that wants to conduct the release negotiations.” 听到艾瑞克提起这件事,伊丽莎白脸色立刻变得郁闷乌比,道:“别提了,乔治・卢卡斯上个星期突然告诉我们,影片的开拍可能要再推迟半年时间,那边还透露想要重新进行发行谈判。” Eric has almost thought immediately the front door schoolmate who just left, the opportunity caught up with the coincidence. 艾瑞克几乎立刻就想到了刚刚离开的大门同学,时机赶得太巧合了。 „Knows that is what reason?” “知道是什么原因吗？” Elizabeth turned head to inspect the moment in the hall, possibly had not found the person's shadow, the revolutions turns round, said: „You were just not with Bill Gates chatted, was he.” 伊丽莎白扭头在大厅里巡视了片刻,可能是没找到人影,转回身,道:“你刚刚不是在和比尔・盖茨聊天吗,就是他啊。” „Said that Spielberg also wants George does Lucas pull closer in forthcoming Film Studio?” “这么说,斯皮尔伯格还想把乔治・卢卡斯拉近即将成立的制片厂里？” Elizabeth also obviously heard related news, even are possibly more than Eric, the nod said: „Yes, I guessed that their goals should be Industrial Light & Magic, because the movie planned cooperates when special effect and digital domain, I am also leading another producer and Stan chatted, finally last week, Lucas told the news that I the movie possibly postponed to begin shooting, has cancelled with the digital domain cooperation intention.” 伊丽莎白也显然听到了相关消息,甚至可能还比艾瑞克多一些,点头道:“是啊,我猜测,他们的目标应该是工业光魔,因为影片原本打算在特效方面与数字领域合作的,我还带着另外一个制片人与斯坦谈了谈,结果上个星期,卢卡斯告诉我影片可能推迟开拍的消息时,也取消了与数字领域的合作意向。” Eric sips liquor, has knit the brows slightly. 艾瑞克抿了一口酒,微微皱眉。 Although Industrial Light & Magic cast off by the digital domain for these years by far, but this special effect work room has the deep special effect inside story eventually, these years were abandoned by the digital domain, because mainly the mainstream special effect big piece chooses the digital domain to carry on the special effect manufacture, not having enough project to carry on the technical research and development and accumulation, Industrial Light & Magic was abandoned is almost the inevitable matter. 虽然工业光魔这几年被数字领域远远甩开,但这家特效工作室终究有着深厚的特效底蕴,这些年被数字领域抛开,主要还是因为主流的特效大片都选择数字领域进行特效制作,没有了足够的项目进行技术研发和积累,工业光魔被抛开几乎是必然的事情。 But just like once «The Lord of the Rings» trilogy haunched Vita numerical code to be the same, if the special effect of «Star Pre-war Biography» trilogy fully single-handedly were completed by Industrial Light & Magic, although the producuction process will be definitely rougher, the cost absolutely will be also higher, but relied on three special effect big pieces the experiences, the special effect standard of Industrial Light & Magic will catch up quickly, this regarding the digital domain was not the good deed. 但正如曾经的《魔戒》三部曲撑起了维塔数码一样,如果《星战前传》三部曲的特效全部由工业光魔独力完成,虽然制作过程肯定会坎坷一些,成本也绝对会更高,但凭借三部特效大片的历练,工业光魔的特效水准将很快赶上来,这对于数字领域可不是什么好事。 What is more helpless, this matter is very difficult to prevent. Because to special effect are getting more and more along with the demand of Hollywood movie, the digital domain scale is huge, is impossible to swallow all special effect services. 更让人无奈的是,这种事情还很难阻止。因为随着好莱坞电影对特效的需求越来越多,数字领域规模再庞大,也不可能吞下所有特效业务。 Although did not have the participation of Katzenberg, but Spielberg and David Guffin and George Lucas, in addition the Microsoft advanced technology and financial support, the brand-new big Film Studio strength cannot be underestimated absolutely. It seems like that Firefly must spunk up to deal is good. 虽然没有了卡森伯格的参与,但斯皮尔伯格、大卫・格芬与乔治・卢卡斯,再加上微软雄厚的技术和资金支持,全新的大制片厂实力绝对不容小觑。看来,萤火虫还是要打起精神应对才行啊。 „Eric, the «RMS Titanic» situation how, I heard that recently just heated bamboo strips for writing material, has the production cost achieved 120 million USD Oh?” Elizabeth also asked Firefly here matter, in the expression has the care, routine region some small taking pleasure in others'misfortunes. “艾瑞克,《泰坦尼克号》的情况怎么样了,我听说最近刚刚杀青,制作成本已经达到1.2亿美元了哦？”伊丽莎白也问起了萤火虫这边的事情,语气里有着关心,又习惯性地带着些许小小的幸灾乐祸。 „Probably, wants to complete the later period, the total cost needs 200 million USD,” Eric shrugs, is good because , after obtaining the promise of Eric full financial support, Cameron this time does not have the dragging time finally, recently has carried out thoroughly the shoots work of movie, later manufactures has quickly launched. “大概,想要完成后期,总成本需要2亿美元,”艾瑞克耸耸肩,好在,得到艾瑞克充分资金支持的许诺后,卡梅隆这次总算没有拖期,最近一段时间彻底完成了影片的拍摄工作,后期制作已经迅速展开。 „200 million USD, Tsk Tsk, the late announcement cost, at least wants seven hundred million USD global Box Office to return to the book in addition,” Elizabeth shakes the head, said: „Cameron movie Box Office should better also on 500,000,000-600,000,000 USD.” “2亿美元,啧啧,加上后期的宣发成本,至少要七亿美元全球票房才能回本啊,”伊丽莎白摇摇头,道:“卡梅隆的电影票房最好也就五六亿美元。” „Yes, I was also worried that” Eric smiles, looks to Elizabeth: „Or, Fox helps me share some costs to be what kind, our manufacture budget are 150 million, you take 50 million again to me.” “是啊,我也很担心,”艾瑞克笑笑,看向伊丽莎白:“要不,福克斯帮我分担一些成本怎么样,我们的制作预算原本是1.5亿,你们再拿五千万给我。” „200 million USD, Tsk Tsk, the late announcement cost, at least wants seven hundred million USD global Box Office to return to the book in addition,” Elizabeth shakes the head, said: „Cameron movie Box Office should better also on 500,000,000-600,000,000 USD.” “2亿美元,啧啧,加上后期的宣发成本,至少要七亿美元全球票房才能回本啊,”伊丽莎白摇摇头,道:“卡梅隆的电影票房最好也就五六亿美元。” „Yes, I was also worried that” Eric smiles, looks to Elizabeth: „Or, Fox helps me share some costs to be what kind, our manufacture budget are 150 million, you take 50 million again to me.”( To be continued.) “是啊,我也很担心,”艾瑞克笑笑,看向伊丽莎白:“要不,福克斯帮我分担一些成本怎么样,我们的制作预算原本是1.5亿,你们再拿五千万给我。”(未完待续。)
