Beverly Hills Manor Morton dining room. 比弗利山庄莫顿餐厅。 Roland Emmerich sits in Columbia Film Studio CEO Bill Chanique opposite, somewhat silent is dealing with front beef steak, was neglected the vision that the surrounding guest often looks by oneself as far as possible, why he even somewhat regrets to choose the dining room that this Hollywood filmmaker gathers to dine today. 罗兰・艾默里奇坐在哥伦比亚电影公司CEO比尔・米查尼克对面,有些沉默地应付着面前的牛排,尽量让自己忽略周围客人不时望过来的目光,他甚至有些后悔今天为什么要选择这家好莱坞影人聚集的餐厅用餐。 This is the second week that «Godzilla» screens, had been approved by the media crazily for one week, in the morning the first week Box Office data of movie draws a charge, Roland Emmerich does not have any feeling of relaxing at heart. In the afternoon a person drove to run up to the Fernando valley some theaters to look secretly, to last Friday also calculates that irritable booking rate, was only one week of time, the majority showed in the «Godzilla» shade hall appears empty, how many he does not even dare to imagine movie week of Box Office decline range to have, 60% , 70%, or was worse? 这已经是《哥斯拉》上映的第二周,被媒体狂批了一周,上午影片的首周票房数据出炉,罗兰・艾默里奇心里丝毫没有任何松口气的感觉。下午一个人开车偷偷跑到费尔南多谷的一些影院看了看,相对于上周五还算火爆的上座率,只是一周时间,大部分放映《哥斯拉》的影厅内都显得空荡荡的,他甚至不敢想象影片这周票房跌幅会有多少,六成,七成,又或者更糟？ Without a doubt, «Godzilla» becomes his enterprise previous time very serious Waterloo. 毫无疑问,《哥斯拉》将成为他事业上一次非常惨重的滑铁卢。 After many years of accumulation, Roland Emmerich had tens of millions USD net worth, even, only depends on the «Godzilla» 20 million USD salary and following Box Office is divided, even if he chooses to retire now, can guarantee that does not need to worry about food or clothing for a lifetime. 经过多年的积累,罗兰・艾默里奇已经拥有了数千万美元的身家,甚至,仅凭《哥斯拉》2000万美元的片酬和接下来的票房分成,即使他现在选择退休,也可以保证一辈子衣食无忧。 But in Hollywood this Vanity Fair, a person whether succeeds was unable to limit in money category by far, most people regard as important the success in enterprise as well as in Hollywood the status and influence, all people want to climb up a higher position. 但在好莱坞这个名利场,一个人是否成功已经远远不能局限在金钱范畴上,大部分人都更看重事业上的成功以及自身在好莱坞的地位和影响力,所有人都想要爬上更高的位置。 Hollywood wants is slightly some human spirits stars, basically has the net worth of enough supporting own abundantly even luxuriously lives, but these people as in the enterprise will jolt under the pressure of fluctuating to have all kinds of spirits as well as the physiological issues. Because regarding the majority of Hollywood celebrities, got rid by Hollywood suddenly, did not have following of magnesium lamp, did not have praise of being a focus of public attention, this sense of being lost and lonely absolutely compared with lose all money to make people be hard suddenly to accept. 好莱坞只要是稍微有些人气的明星,基本上都拥有足够支撑自身富足甚至奢华生活的身家,但这些人依旧会在事业颠簸起伏的压力下生出各种各样的精神以及生理问题。因为对于大部分好莱坞名流来说,突然被好莱坞抛弃,没有了镁光灯的追随,没有了万众瞩目的追捧,这种失落感绝对要比突然失去所有金钱更加让人难以接受。 Roland although Emmerich knows that merely is only a failure, is unable to create the ruinous attack to his enterprise absolutely, but this also definitely means that in the next few years, only if he manufactures once more with «Independence Day» and «Deep Impact» quality suitable movie, otherwise, he is absolutely impossible to enjoy «Godzilla» again screens the beforehand that all sorts of rich treatments, to the force domination of movie manufacture, the 20 million USD Director salary of field top, waits for these. 罗兰・艾默里奇虽然知道,仅仅只是一次失败,绝对无法对他的事业造成毁灭性的打击,但这也肯定意味着,未来几年,除非他再次制作出与《独力日》、《天地大冲撞》质量相当的影片,否则,他绝对不可能再享受到《哥斯拉》上映之前的那种种丰厚待遇,对影片制作的强力控制权,业界顶级的2000万美元导演片酬,等等这些。 Even, if before «Godzilla», he does not need to appear tonight personally here with Bill Chanique discussed that following contract issue, these before the matter that needed his manager to act. 甚至,如果在《哥斯拉》之前,他今晚根本不用亲自出现在这里与比尔・米查尼克讨论后续的合约问题,这些在以前只是需要他经纪人出面的事情。 If can come again one time. 如果能够重来一次。 This thought raises, Roland Emmerich self-ridiculed immediately shook the head. 这个念头升起,罗兰・艾默里奇立刻自嘲地摇了摇头。 Suddenly remembered Firefly just to announce a while ago the «The Day After Tomorrow» Director candidate, this project should belong his. Firefly will perhaps not start out the 20 million USD Director salary, but in both sides cooperated continuously «Deep Impact» and in the «Independence Day» situation, Firefly is impossible to be too parsimonious, he believes that responds with a poem to draw bonus through the stop plate, oneself attain with the «Independence Day» suitable 30 million USD gross income is not difficult. 突然想起萤火虫前段时间刚刚公布《后天》的导演人选,这个项目本来应该属于他的。萤火虫或许不会开出2000万美元的导演片酬,但在双方连续合作了《天地大冲撞》和《独力日》的情况下,萤火虫也不可能太吝啬,他相信通过固定片酬和分红,自己拿到与《独力日》相当的3000万美元总收入还是不难的。 Present «Godzilla» based on 20 million salary, North America 15% Box Office is divided, can perhaps guarantee that as before he attains 30 million USD, but because «Godzilla» reputation and Box Office disastrous defeat on in pairs, his below movie is unable to attain the so rich reward absolutely again, his popularity of «Godzilla» to the harm that causes is unquantifiable. 眼下的《哥斯拉》在2000万片酬的基础上,北美15%的票房分成,或许依旧能够保证他拿到3000万美元,但由于《哥斯拉》口碑和票房上的双双惨败,他下部影片绝对无法再拿到如此丰厚的报酬,《哥斯拉》对他的人气造成的损害更是难以估量。 Compares in Roland Emmerich faint repenting, Bill Chanique's mood is more agitated. 相比于罗兰・艾默里奇隐隐的自怨自艾,比尔・米查尼克的心情更加烦躁。 «Godzilla» this project was initially Sony Film Industry from top to bottom thrust, according to the truth, the project failed, the responsibility should not blame to his head in any event. 《哥斯拉》这个项目是当初索尼影业自上而下力推下来的,按道理来说,项目失败,责任无论如何都不应该怪到他头上来。 However, this obvious reasonable deduction, will not occur on Sony this kind of management social class distinct date obviously is really on the group. «Godzilla», the nature will be if successful happy, everybody holds the glee feast together. But now it failed, group Chairman Idei Nobuyuki naturally cannot have any mistake. Sony United States subsidiary company CEO, his subordinate boss Howard Stringer will not stand to shoulder the responsibility similarly, one layer upon layer presses, this pot can only by Bill Chanique this most direct Film Industry service head carries. 但是,这种显而易见的合理推论,显然不会真的发生在索尼这样一个管理层阶级分明的日系集团身上。《哥斯拉》如果成功,自然皆大欢喜,大家一起开庆功宴。但现在它失败了,集团董事长出井伸之自然不会有什么过错。索尼美国分公司CEO,他的直属上司霍华德・斯特林格同样不会站出来承担责任,一层层压下来,这个锅只能由比尔・米查尼克这个最直接的电影业务负责人来背。 Is good because, Sony high and low clear matter what's the matter, although needs him to be a scapegoat, but will not have any substantiality penalty, this is also only makes the person feel better some places. 好在,索尼上下都清楚事情是怎么回事,虽然需要他来背锅,但并不会有什么实质性惩罚,这也算是唯一让人好受一些的地方。 However, at present has another very thorny matter to fall on him as before, is Sony Film Industry and Roland Emmerich contract. 不过,眼下却依旧有另外一件非常棘手的事情落到了他身上,就是索尼影业与罗兰・艾默里奇的合约。 Initially because the company high-level was confident, Sony disposable with Roland Emmerich has signed the contract of trilogy. 当初由于公司高层信心十足,索尼一次性与罗兰・艾默里奇签署了三部曲的合约。 «Godzilla» opens picture one week of time Box Office to decline, the following two sequels definitely are out of the question. 《哥斯拉》开画一周时间票房一路走低,接下来两部续集肯定无从谈起。 However, Sony and Roland the Emmerich contract is impossible to expire automatically. 不过,索尼与罗兰・艾默里奇的合约却不可能自动失效。 In contract signature process, both sides on discussing solution that once the sequel is unable to start, the result of discussion is, if the «Godzilla» sequel is unable to start, Roland Emmerich has the right to choose two to direct from the other projects of Sony Film Industry willfully. 合约签署过程中,双方就讨论过一旦续集无法启动的解决方案,商议的结果是,如果《哥斯拉》续集无法启动,罗兰・艾默里奇有权从索尼影业旗下的其他项目中任意挑选两部进行执导。 Toho absorbed the Godzilla series during 40 years to pat 22 especially, nobody can expect, introduced Hollywood after Godzilla, but patted one to be difficult to work. Therefore, initially no one had cared this collateral term. 东宝的特摄哥斯拉系列40年间足足拍了22部,没有人能料到,将哥斯拉引入好莱坞之后,只是拍了一部就再难进行下去。因此,当初谁也没有将这份附属条款放在心上。 But at present, «Godzilla» total investment 220 million USD, according to the current condition, movie North America can take back 150 million is the expectation, not to mention at first anticipation of 300 million USD. From the dreary Box Office performance of Japan, the overseas market similarly is also less optimistic, this project had determined that will bring to Sony Film Industry owes greatly. As directly causes Producer and Director of project failure, the Sony high level Roland the heart that Emmerich chokes to death had, is not naturally willingly fulfills that collateral term again. 但眼下,《哥斯拉》总投资2.2亿美元,按照目前的状况,影片北美能够收回1.5亿都算是奢望,更不必说最初3亿美元的预期。从日本的惨淡票房表现来看,海外市场也同样不容乐观,这个项目已经确定会给索尼影业带来巨亏。作为直接导致项目失败的制作人兼导演,索尼高层把罗兰・艾默里奇掐死的心都有了,自然不甘心再履行那份附属条款。 Solves this contract problem sticky business, naturally fell Bill on Chanique. 解决这份合约问题的苦差事,自然落到了比尔・米查尼克身上。 Which Director Hollywood does not have not to encounter the failure, even if had created just Cameron of Box Office miracle, initial that «The Abyss» also let the toothache that Fox compensated. But no one determined that which day these Director will stage a comeback, has mingled among for dozens years in Hollywood, Bill Chanique naturally understands this truth, therefore he does not want with Roland Emmerich tears to pieces the facial skin. 好莱坞没有哪个导演没有遭遇过失败,哪怕是刚刚创造了票房奇迹的卡梅隆,当初的那部《深渊》也让福克斯赔的牙疼。但谁也不确定这些导演会在哪天东山再起,在好莱坞混迹了几十年,比尔・米查尼克自然明白这个道理,所以他也不想和罗兰・艾默里奇撕破脸皮。 Until the supper approaches the last act, has fermented Bill of excuse repeatedly Chanique mentioned the subject: „Roland, I remember that Firefly disaster piece series at least five, «Deep Impact» and that «Independence Day» Box Office you direct is splendid, Williams should hope that very much you continue to cooperate with Firefly?” 直到晚餐临近尾声,反复酝酿了一番说辞的比尔・米查尼克才谈起正题:“罗兰,我记得萤火虫的灾难片系列至少有五部,你执导的《天地大冲撞》和《独力日》票房都非常出色,威廉姆斯应该会很希望你继续与萤火虫合作的吧？” Roland Emmerich hear of Bill in Chanique said a word places on the seat of honor him, the mood slightly has not actually improved. Eric had certainly said welcome him to go back at all times, but, Roland Emmerich also has own self-respect, he initially gave up the sound cooperation relations with Firefly for the salary of high quota, at present the project failed, he is naturally impossible to put down the honor to return to Firefly to go immediately again. 罗兰・艾默里奇听比尔・米查尼克言语里将他放在主位上,心情却丝毫没有变好。艾瑞克当然说过随时欢迎他回去,但是,罗兰・艾默里奇也有着自己的自尊,他当初为了高额的片酬放弃与萤火虫的良好合作关系,眼下项目失败了,他自然不可能立刻放下脸面再返回萤火虫去。 Roland Emmerich very clear Bill Chanique his goal, he has not grabbed the meaning that collateral term does not let go today actually forcefully. Both sides cannot cooperate willingly, he project that takes over from Sony definitely is unable the revolution to be free forcefully, this condition will only affect the quality of movie. The project is defeated once more, filthy rich Sony also loses some money, but screws up two movies again continuously, he estimated that really can only retire early. 罗兰・艾默里奇很清楚比尔・米查尼克今天约自己的目的,他其实也没有强行抓着那份附属条款不松手的意思。双方不能心甘情愿地合作,他强行从索尼接手的项目也肯定无法运转自如,这种状态只会影响到电影的质量。项目再次失败,财大气粗的索尼也只是损失一些金钱,但再连续搞砸两部电影,他估计就真的只能提前退休了。 Puts down the tableware, Roland Emmerich has scratched the corners of the mouth with the napkin, gains ground saying: „Bill, supper thank you, therefore, you directly said Sony here idea.” 放下餐具,罗兰・艾默里奇用餐巾擦了擦嘴角,抬头道:“比尔,谢谢你的晚餐,所以,你还是直接说说索尼这边的想法吧。” Roland the Emmerich manner lets Bill Chanique relaxed, said: „Is this, Roland, we were arranging a project recently, story about United States single-handedly war, named «Patriot», the Director candidate had not determined, if you are interested, this movie can direct by you.” 罗兰・艾默里奇的态度让比尔・米查尼克松了一口气,道:“是这样的,罗兰,我们最近正在筹备一个项目,一个关于美国独力战争的故事,名叫《爱国者》,导演人选还没有确定,如果你感兴趣的话,这部电影可以由你来执导。” „I have not contacted the movie of war theme,” Roland Emmerich was saying, suddenly realizes anything, asked keenly: „Was the lead candidate of movie decided?” “我可从来没有接触过战争题材的影片,”罗兰・艾默里奇说着,突然意识到什么,敏锐地问道:“电影的主角人选确定了吗？” Bill Chanique has not thought that Roland rapidness that such Emmerich can respond, is the Tanzania moon's orbit: „We are relating, the appropriate candidate has two, Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner.” 比尔・米查尼克没想到罗兰・艾默里奇会反应的这么快,顿了顿,还是坦白道:“我们正在联系,合适的人选有两个,梅尔・吉布森和凯文・科斯特纳。” The atmosphere between both sides falls into once more silent. 双方之间的气氛再次陷入沉默。 Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner, these two is not only Hollywood A level superstar, but, they also separately rely on «Braveheart» and «Dances with Wolves» such war type movie have won the nomination or the award of Oscar best Director. 梅尔・吉布森,凯文・科斯特纳,这两人不但都是好莱坞的A级巨星,而且,他们也都分别凭借《勇敢的心》和《与狼共舞》这样的战争类型影片获得过奥斯卡最佳导演的提名或者奖项。 Regardless of these two people any hold the post of the «Patriot» actor, Roland Emmerich to the project largely will be weakened as controlling force of Director, even, even if no this Director, the project can also work obviously smoothly. 这两个人无论任何一个担任《爱国者》的男主角,罗兰・艾默里奇作为导演对项目的控制力都将被大幅削弱,甚至,哪怕没有他这个导演,项目显然也能顺利进行下去。 Roland Emmerich can feel that Sony forces in the type movie that this kind of he does not excel at completely to hold the post of Director him, is more like lets him hold the post of one not to cause serious adverse effects ‚vase’ to the entire movie. This arrangement to was one type insults the Hollywood position with him simply. 罗兰・艾默里奇能够感觉到,索尼把他塞进这样一个他完全不擅长的类型影片里担任导演,更像是让他担任一个对整部影片不会造成太大影响的‘花瓶’。这种安排对与他在好莱坞的咖位来说简直就是一种侮辱了。 Carried the red wine on tabletop to fill one, tranquil under mood, Roland Emmerich asked: „That, if we do terminate the contract directly?” 端起桌面上的红酒灌了一口,平静了下情绪,罗兰・艾默里奇问道:“那,如果我们直接解除合约呢？” „1 million USD,” Bill Chanique has considered obviously also this possibility, but, said some the compensation amounts of being perfunctory, on his face somewhat could not hang, added: „This was the maximum amount that I can take responsibility, if you hope that this, I can chat with Howard, perhaps can also enhance some again.” “100万美元,”比尔・米查尼克显然也已经考虑过这种可能性,不过,说出这个有些敷衍的补偿金额,他自己脸上都有些挂不住,补充道:“这是我能做主的最高金额了,如果你希望这样的话,我可以与霍华德谈谈,或许还能再提高一些。” How many enhances again can enhance? 再提高又能提高多少？ Roland Emmerich is thinking, somewhat is at heart puzzled. 罗兰・艾默里奇这么想着,心里有些纠结。 The solution that Sony gives was very clear. 索尼给出的解决方案已经很明确。 He holds the post of «Patriot» Director, this movie has Mel Gibson or Kevin Costner supports the field, the movie quality and Box Office should guarantee that has completed this movie, both sides can also take advantage of opportunity to uncover that collateral term. Can want to see, accepts this Director work the words, the salary that he can attain will not be absolutely high, 20 million USD Box Office was divided and so on definitely wants not to think, even if were maintains him the 8 million USD fixed Director salary before «Godzilla» is not the too easy matter. 他来担任《爱国者》的导演,这部影片有着梅尔・吉布森或者凯文・科斯特纳撑场,影片质量和票房应该都有所保证,完成了这部电影,双方也可以顺势将那份附属条款揭过去。可以想见,接受这份导演工作的话,他能拿到的片酬绝对不会太高,2000万美元啊票房分成啊之类肯定是想都别想了,哪怕是维持他在《哥斯拉》之前800万美元固定导演片酬都不是太容易的事情。 But if he wants to terminate the contract immediately, actually can only attain a symbolic compensation. 但如果他想要立刻解除合约,却又只能拿到一笔象征性的补偿。 Moreover, lost this contract, in situation that in «Godzilla» just encountered the failure, the next 1-2 years, other Hollywood Film Studio definitely again easily will not cooperate with him, this is not because he directs the ability the issue, but will be the «Godzilla» one-sided difference comments definitely under the Box Office rallying point of movie to him will have very bad influence. The first solution that Sony gives, to use Mel actually Gibson or Kevin the Costner influence, reduces this influence as far as possible. 而且,失去了这份合约,在《哥斯拉》刚刚遭遇失败的情况下,未来一两年时间,好莱坞其他电影公司也肯定不会再轻易与他合作,这并不是因为他个人执导能力的问题,而是《哥斯拉》一边倒的差评肯定会对他下部电影的票房号召力造成非常恶劣的影响。索尼给出的第一种解决方案,其实也是为了利用梅尔・吉布森或者凯文・科斯特纳的影响力,尽可能地降低这种影响。 Obviously, Sony definitely hopes that he can the automatic selection terminate an agreement, but is not willing to pay too many compensatory payments, will therefore put out such one solution that makes people be hard to choose. 显然,索尼肯定是更希望他能自动选择解约,但同时又不愿意支付太多的补偿金,所以才会拿出这样一份让人难以抉择的解决方案。 Sony also concluded he will not adopt the lawsuit and so on radical measures solve this matter, after all, had just screwed up others' big manufacture, then sues others, after that who also dares to work with you again. 索尼也料定他不会采取诉讼之类的激烈手段解决这件事,毕竟,刚刚搞砸了别人的一部大制作,转而又起诉别人,那以后谁还敢再跟你合作。 Finally, Roland Emmerich said: „Bill, gives me to select time, I consider.” 最终,罗兰・艾默里奇说道:“比尔,给我点时间,我考虑一下吧。” Roland Emmerich has not mentioned the matter that terminates an agreement again, Bill Chanique just knows he has decided to accept the «Patriot» Director position, but suddenly could not have persisted in the haughty manner to comply immediately. Bill Chanique did not urge that can handle this matter, both sides have not had anything too obviously is not happy, he was satisfied. 罗兰・艾默里奇没有再提起解约的事情,比尔・米查尼克就知道他已经决定接受《爱国者》导演的位置,只是一时间还放不下架子立刻答应下来。比尔・米查尼克也不催促,能够将这件事搞定,双方没有发生什么太明显的不愉快,他就已经非常满足。 They have not continued to chat anything's interest again, Bill Chanique is just about beckoning to make the attendant pay up, the dining room other presented some tumults at the same time, male two females never in the booth of distant place walk, has caused other guest warm feelings greeting sounds. 两人都没有再继续聊什么的兴致,比尔・米查尼克正要招手让侍应生过来结账,餐厅另外一边出现了一些骚动,一男两女从不远处的卡座里走出来,引起了其他客人热络的招呼声。 Roland Emmerich hears back sound, turned head to look at the past, exactly to Eric vision. 罗兰・艾默里奇听到背后的动静,也跟着扭头看过去,恰好对上艾瑞克的目光。 From the «Casino Royale» screening only remaining two weeks of time, preliminary propaganda work Eric can also be lazy, but to this final moment, as Director, he must certainly participate in the movie propagandizing suitably. Today is leading the girl and Amy Pascal dines together, mainly then discusses this matter. 距离《007之皇家赌场》的上映只剩下两周时间,前期的宣传工作艾瑞克还可以偷懒,但到了这最后关头,作为导演,他肯定还是要适当参与影片宣传的。今天带着丫头与艾米・帕斯卡尔一起用餐,主要便是讨论这件事情。 The politeness was responding to the greeting sound of surrounding person, Eric was pulling the girl and Amy Pascal walked together outward, has not thought that will meet Roland exactly Emmerich, the footsteps have also stopped. 礼貌地回应着周围人的招呼声,艾瑞克正挽着丫头与艾米・帕斯卡尔一起往外走,没想到会恰好遇到罗兰・艾默里奇,脚步也不由停顿了一下。 Recently this days, Eric should be absolutely Roland one of people Emmerich most does not want to bump into. 最近这段日子,艾瑞克绝对应该算是罗兰・艾默里奇最不想碰到的人之一。 With «Deep Impact» and that «Independence Day» two movies Firefly cooperates, advanced the super big Director ranks him, urged Sony to win over him has started out that large amount salary contract. 正是与萤火虫合作的《天地大冲撞》和《独力日》两部影片,才将他推到了超级大导演的行列,也促使索尼为了拉拢他而开出了那份巨额片酬合约。 Initially gave up the cooperation with Firefly for the Sony Film Industry rich reward, Roland Emmerich somewhat felt sorry, at this time, «Godzilla» reputation and a Box Office gloom, facing Eric, Roland Emmerich thought at heart embarrassedly. 当初为了索尼影业的丰厚报酬放弃与萤火虫的合作,罗兰・艾默里奇本就有些过意不去,此时,《哥斯拉》口碑和票房一片惨淡,面对艾瑞克,罗兰・艾默里奇心里就更觉难堪。 „Good evening, Eric,”, although does not feel better at heart, Roland Emmerich on own initiative first opens the mouth to greet with Eric, is only somewhat is suddenly scruple, does not know that should set out. “晚上好,艾瑞克,”虽然心里不好受,罗兰・艾默里奇还是主动先开口与艾瑞克打起了招呼,只是一时间有些迟疑,不知道该不该起身。 „In the evening, Roland, Oh, Bill.” “晚上和,罗兰,哦,还有比尔。” Eric from Roland in the Emmerich expression also sees his present condition at heart, surroundings many Hollywood colleagues, if he stops the footsteps at this time specially, that tomorrow's Hollywood definitely will have the new piece to appear. Does not want to let Roland Emmerich is too embarrassed, Eric in a soft voice nodded with them, both sides on brushing. 艾瑞克从罗兰・艾默里奇的表情中也看出他现在的心里状况,周围很多好莱坞圈内人,如果他此时特意停下脚步,那明天好莱坞肯定会有新段子出现。不想让罗兰・艾默里奇太难堪,艾瑞克只是轻声与两人点了点头,双方就擦身而过。 Roland Emmerich to the response of Eric not only feeling relaxed and somewhat is depressed, with Bill Chanique has looked at each other one, they do not have the thought of immediately having paid up, at this time leaves, if meets in the parking lot again, that really does not know that should say any good. 罗兰・艾默里奇对艾瑞克的反应既感觉轻松又有些发堵,与比尔・米查尼克对视了一眼,两人都没有了立刻结账的念头,此时离开,万一再在停车场遇到,那实在是不知道该说什么好。 The parking lot outside dining room, the girl hangs on Eric as before, grinningly with Amy Pascal said: „Hehe, Amy, just did you have to note the Roland expression, was really too interesting.” 餐厅外的停车场,丫头依旧挂在艾瑞克身上,笑嘻嘻地与艾米・帕斯卡尔道:“呵呵,艾米,刚刚你有没有注意到罗兰的表情,真是太有意思了。” Amy Pascal smiled, has not echoed the words of girl. 艾米・帕斯卡尔只是笑了笑,没有附和丫头的话。 „Was good, do not take pleasure in others'misfortunes,” Eric has knocked on the girl forehead, also to Amy Pascal said: „About E! The purchase plan of entertainment, you discussed as soon as possible, had better be able put out the result before the end of the month.” “好了,不要幸灾乐祸了,”艾瑞克在丫头脑门上敲了下,又对艾米・帕斯卡尔道:“关于E！娱乐的收购方案,你这边尽快谈吧,最好能够在月底之前拿出结果。” „Eric, the Warner wired that side sees us also to be suddenly driving to this transaction, as if no longer eagerly sold the stock. They possibly guess correctly you to E! The entertainment was interested.” “艾瑞克,华纳有线那边见我们突然又对这笔交易主动起来,似乎不再急于卖出股份了。他们可能猜出你对E!娱乐感兴趣了。” The twin drove Land Rover of girl, Eric boarding, has not been relying on anxiously near the vehicle door said: „I read some materials recently, the rainbow media of foundation wired company as if have the meaning of sell, you can simultaneously contact with them, Bravo TV Station and E in rainbow media hand! The nature of entertainment is similar.” 双胞胎将丫头的路虎开了过来,艾瑞克没有急着上车,倚在车门边道:“我最近看了一些资料,基础有线公司旗下的彩虹传媒似乎也有出售的意思,你可以同时和他们接触一下,彩虹传媒手中的Bravo电视台与E!娱乐的性质差不多。” „I also noted this matter,” Amy Pascal nodded, said: „But, the foundation wired company should not sell too many stocks . Moreover, General Electric is also interested in the rainbow media, their these years have been expanding own cable TV service.” “我也注意到了这件事,”艾米・帕斯卡尔点头,道:“不过,基础有线公司应该不会出售太多股份,而且,通用电气也对彩虹传媒感兴趣,他们这些年一直在扩张自身的有线电视业务。” „Foundation wired company definitely knows where with cooperates has the potential, if possible, we do not need to seek too many stocks one time, only needed to attain the operation power on the line. Moreover, your main energy must place E! On the entertainment, the rainbow media as the alternative plan,” think that Eric also said: „But, I guess next week after «Batman And Robin» screens, Warner should very much be willing to drop out E as soon as possible! The stockholder's rights burden of entertainment. The Time Warner this year's loss expands again, Terry the Semel CEO position could change players.” “基础有线公司肯定知道与哪边合作更有潜力,如果可能的话,我们也并不需要一次性谋求太多股份,只需要拿到运营权就行了。而且,你的主要精力还是要放在E!娱乐上面,彩虹传媒作为备选方案,”想了想,艾瑞克又道:“不过,我猜下周《蝙蝠侠与罗宾》上映之后,华纳应该就很愿意尽快抛下E！娱乐的股权包袱。时代华纳今年的亏损再扩大下去,特里・塞梅尔的CEO位置可能就要换人了。” Amy Pascal realizes the meaning in Eric words immediately, pursues asks: „Eric, don't you favor «Batman And Robin»?” 艾米・帕斯卡尔立刻意识到艾瑞克话里的含义,追问道:“艾瑞克,你不看好《蝙蝠侠与罗宾》吗？” „I have not looked at «Batman And Robin» Large expanse , was unable to be too definite. However, under your attention, should discover slightly that Warner covered solid «Batman And Robin», until now, except for preview, with movie content related substantive news few pity, did not have the public preview movie criticism.” “我没看过《蝙蝠侠与罗宾》的成片,还不敢太确定。不过,你们稍微注意下,就应该发现,华纳把《蝙蝠侠与罗宾》捂得太严实了,到现在为止,除了预告片,与影片内容相关的实质性消息都少的可怜,也没有公开的试映影评。” Amy Pascal has combed under the information in mind, discovers the fact really so. 艾米・帕斯卡尔梳理了下脑海中的信息,发现事实果然如此。 Warner in the content of screening beforehand strict blockade movie, perhaps to maintain the mystery of movie, but has another possibility, that is their quality to the movie does not have the confidence, worried that the reputation reveals ahead of time, will affect opening of movie to draw Box Office. 华纳在上映之前严密封锁电影的内容,或许是为了保持电影的神秘感,但更有另外一种可能,那就是他们对影片的质量没有信心,担忧口碑提前泄露,会影响到电影的开画票房。
