Richard Lovette is crisis of confidence busy being thrown into confusion of aa possible bitter experience, beyond several kilometers, similarly is located in Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters of century city not to be peaceful. 理查德・洛维特为aa可能遭遇的信任危机忙的手忙脚乱,就在几公里外,同样位于世纪城的米高梅总部也不得安宁。 007 series will choose the news issue of actor one hour, outside Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters gathered one group of movie fans, holds all kinds of slogans to protest that Metro Goldwyn Mayer replaces Pierce Brosnan's decision. Reporters of another group from major media also waits for outside the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters front door, hopes that can receive more news. In order to avoid having any accident, Amy Pascal has to send outside the building to keep the order the company majority of securities. 007系列将重新挑选男主角的消息发布才一个多小时,米高梅总部外就已经聚集了一群影迷,举着各种各样的标语抗议米高梅撤换皮尔斯・布鲁斯南的决定。另外一拨来自各大媒体的记者也守候在米高梅总部大门外,希望能够获得更多消息。为了避免发生什么意外,艾米・帕斯卡尔不得不将公司大部分保安都派到大楼外面维持秩序。 In the recent several weeks because «Casino Royale» Box Office receives the Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock price that gains across the board greatly, along with the announcement of news, suddenly starts to fall. Because continuously to purchasing e! The purchase of entertainment TV Station, invests the «The Lord of the Rings» trilogy as well as then possibly with the equity transaction that the rainbow media carry out, the fund gradually intense Metro Goldwyn Mayer launched the new round debt finance program, at this time the stock price fell suddenly, absolutely is not the good news. 最近几周因为《皇家赌场》票房大收而一路飘红的米高梅股价,随着消息的公布,也突然开始下跌。由于连续对收购e！娱乐电视台的收购、投资《魔戒》三部曲以及接下来可能与彩虹传媒进行的股权交易,资金逐渐紧张的米高梅已经启动新一轮的债务融资计划,这个时候公司股价突然下跌,绝对不是什么好消息。 Metro Goldwyn Mayer several high-level cell phones come from all parties' telephone to be hit to explode in one hour that the news announced directly, a company Board of Directors director has even caught up with Los Angeles from the New York launching, and requested to convene urgent Board of Directors to discuss, discussed matter that replaced Bruce. 米高梅几位高层的手机在消息公布的一个小时里就被来自各方的电话被直接打爆,公司董事会的一位董事甚至已经从纽约起飞赶来洛杉矶,并要求召开紧急董事会议,重新讨论撤换布鲁斯南的事情。 Metro Goldwyn Mayer completes the previous stock to issue additionally, the Drew ownership percentage fell 33.5%, the Limited owning stocks share also falls to 8.4%. Initially together participated to French Vivendi group owning stocks share of Metro Goldwyn Mayer purchase is 16.8%, Europe several movie funds owned stocks 15.1%, other about 26% stocks completely circulate the stock. Because came from Europe similarly, other Vivendi and several movie funds naturally held one group, although was doomed unable to obtain the domination to Metro Goldwyn Mayer, but the Metro Goldwyn Mayer management was impossible to neglect the opposite party influence completely. 米高梅完成上次股票增发,德鲁的持股比例已经降到了33.5%,ltd的持股份额也滑落到8.4%。当初共同参与对米高梅收购的法国威望迪集团持股份额为16.8%,欧洲几家电影基金持股15.1%,其余26%左右的股票则全部都是流通股。由于同样来自欧洲,威望迪和其他几家电影基金自然抱成了一团,虽然注定无法获得对米高梅的控制权,但米高梅管理层也不可能完全忽视对方的影响力。 Has caught up with Los Angeles that named Pierre from New York director in Truk, is Vivendi and several movie funds in the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Board of Directors spokesman. The Metro Goldwyn Mayer Board of Directors altogether seven people, except for four according to the outside single-handedly director of United States Securities and Exchange Commission stipulation invitation, other three people, one are Drew, one is Amy Pascal, another, is Pierre Truk, the opposite party is CEO of Vivendi advertisement media industry giant Havas Group United States subsidiary company. 已经从纽约赶来洛杉矶的那位名叫皮埃尔・特鲁克的董事,便是威望迪和几家电影基金在米高梅董事会的代言人。米高梅董事会一共七人,除了四位按照美国证券交易委员会规定聘请的外部独力董事,其他三人,一个是德鲁,一个是艾米・帕斯卡尔,另外一个,便是皮埃尔・特鲁克,对方是威望迪旗下广告传媒业巨头哈瓦斯集团美国分公司的eo。 A Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters corridor end, stands Amy near window Pascal hung Richard Lovette's telephone, in the expression brought to feel relieved, gave the assistant the cell phone, told that she helped the telephone that oneself met possibly again to force one's way into, shoved open the conference room door to walk. 米高梅总部一条走廊尽头,站在窗边的艾米・帕斯卡尔挂掉了理查德・洛维特的电话,表情中带着些如释重负,将手机交给助理,吩咐她帮自己接一下可能再打进来的电话,就推开会议室房门走了进去。 In conference room, Drew and Frank Makasso as well as John Calley three people with Peter Jackson was discussing the electing corner/horn of «The Lord of the Rings» trilogy plans. 会议室里,德鲁、弗兰克・马卡索以及约翰・卡利三人正在与彼得・杰克逊讨论着《魔戒》三部曲的选角计划。 In the two years Peter Jackson only directed a low cost thriller film to be used to practice acquiring a skill, the majority of energy placed the arrangements of «The Lord of the Rings» series as before, he not only has completed the movie earlier period all endured the scenery work, but, in the first half of this year, he specially had also practised in Australian Subsidiary company of digital domain for three months, has understood the CG Special Effects production process in detail. Now, the entire «The Lord of the Rings» trilogy can say that has installed in Peter completely in Jackson mind, so long as attains the budget formally to start to manufacture, he has 100% confidence to be able Towle King's legendary epic poem perfectly presents on the big silver screen. 这两年彼得・杰克逊只执导了一部低成本惊悚片用来练手,大部分精力依旧放在《魔戒》系列的筹备上,他不但已经完成了电影前期的所有堪景工作,而且,今年上半年,他还专门在数字领域的澳洲分公司实习了三个月时间,详细了解了g特效的制作流程。现在,整个《魔戒》三部曲可以说已经完全装在了彼得・杰克逊的脑海里,只要拿到预算正式开始制作,他就有100的信心可以将托尔・金的这部传奇史诗完美呈现在大银幕上。 Saw that Amy Pascal walks, Peter Jackson has stopped, he knows certainly that Metro Goldwyn Mayer today what happened. 看到艾米・帕斯卡尔走进来,彼得・杰克逊不由停顿了下,他当然知道米高梅今天发生了什么事情。 Frank Makasso and John Calley looks as if by prior agreement, initially had completed to the purchase of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, considered that this established film giants possibly rises under the support of Firefly Group, their two have not chosen to leave the company, now also proved accuracy that they initially chose. Today this matter also really sufficing unexpected, they to the present too have not been able to believe that Eric will decide to give up Bruce. Although closed down the cell phone, but in their present mind is also lingering the ringtone continuously. 弗兰克・马卡索和约翰・卡利更是不约而同地望过来,当初完成了对米高梅的收购,考虑到这家老牌电影巨头在萤火虫集团的扶持下可能重新崛起,他们两个并没有选择离开公司,现在也证明他们当初选择的正确性。只是,今天这件事还真够让人猝不及防的,他们到现在还不太敢相信艾瑞克会真的决定放弃布鲁斯南。虽然已经将手机关机,但他们两人现在脑海里还萦绕着连续不断的电话铃声。 Although Drew also looks up, on the face does not have several other people of worry looks, so long as this is the decision of Eric, even if Metro Goldwyn Mayer went out of business, she does not matter. However, the girl on own initiative asked: „Amy, who is this time?” 德鲁虽然也抬头看过来,脸上却是丝毫没有其他几人的担忧神色,只要这是艾瑞克的决定,哪怕米高梅倒闭了,她也无所谓。不过,丫头还是主动问道:“艾米,这次又是谁？” „Richard Lovette,” Amy was replying, sat down by the girl , to continue saying: „Just Richard suggested me, this matter is Bruce manager Zerk Kozmann independently decides probably, Richard has dismissed Kozmann. Drew, they want to chat.” “理查德・洛维特,”艾米回答着,在丫头旁边坐下,继续道:“刚刚理查暗示我,这件事好像是布鲁斯南的经纪人瑞克・科兹曼自作主张,理查已经把科兹曼解雇了。德鲁,他们想重新谈谈。” Although also heard some rumors, but because Richard Lovette's concealing with every effort, Hollywood also nobody in detail knows that Zerk Kozmann rejects 007 salary contracts secretly the long and short of the story. The Drew nature Amy said that Richard Lovette ‚suggested that’ treats as excuse, actually this perhaps is also Richard Lovette desired. 虽然也听到了一些风声,但由于理查德・洛维特的尽力掩饰,好莱坞还没有人详细知道瑞克・科兹曼私自拒绝007片酬合约的来龙去脉。德鲁自然将艾米所说理查德・洛维特的‘暗示’当做一种托词,其实这或许也是理查德・洛维特希望看到的。 However, Drew does not care about these obviously, but said: „They want to refuse to reject, wants to discuss discussed that this is playing tricks on us?” 不过,德鲁显然也不关心这些,只是道:“他们想拒绝就拒绝,想重新谈就重新谈,这是在戏弄我们吗？” „Drew, I thought that perhaps some these really misunderstanding, properly speaking Pierce did not agree salary that Eric starts out, is impossible simply to reject,” Amy continues to persuade: „Moreover, gives up Bruce not having any advantage to us, we must carry on the debt to finance immediately, that side Morgan Stanley had also telephoned, they thought that if replaces Bruce, may dampen the investment enthusiasm of market to Metro Goldwyn Mayer bond.” “德鲁,我觉得,这其中或许真的有些误会,按理说皮尔斯就算不同意艾瑞克开出的片酬,也不可能那么干脆地拒绝,”艾米继续劝说道:“而且,放弃布鲁斯南对我们没有任何好处,我们马上就要进行债务融资了,摩根士丹利那边也已经打了电话过来,他们觉得,如果撤换布鲁斯南,可能会影响市场对米高梅债券的投资积极性。” The girl eyes winked two, lets go saying: „Or, you and Eric discussed that I am only puppet Oh.” 丫头眼睛眨了两下,摊手道:“要不,你和艾瑞克商量吧,我只是个傀儡哦。” ...... …… „Now the hearsay, Bruce as if completely does not know the circumstances of the matter to the salary condition that you pledge. In the morning you meet, Amy telephones, said is that side aa hopes that can chat.” The Firefly Burbank Headquarters dining room, time is at noon, Kelly and Eric sit together is having the lunch, mentioned the matter that this morning had while convenient. “现在有一个传闻,布鲁斯南似乎对你开出的片酬条件完全不知情。上午你开会的时候,艾米又打电话过来,说是aa那边希望能重新谈谈。”萤火虫伯班克总部的餐厅,时间已经是中午,凯莉与艾瑞克坐在一起吃着午餐,顺便说起了这一上午发生的事情。 Eric finished eating Italy surface, gains ground saying: „You believe that Bruce does know nothing really?” 艾瑞克吃完一口意大利面,抬头道:“你相信布鲁斯南真的毫不知情吗？” Kelly thinks that said: „I thought that even if real, that side aa will also pass on the vacation this matter. After all, conceals such important matter to the customer, aa will meet greatly troublesome, which star meeting without is willing to make manager that likes making a decision without authorization help itself handle the business. However, I thought that aa manager should to not conceal these to Bruce stupid, this is the 70 million USD contract.” 凯莉想了想,道:“我觉得,就算是真的,aa那边也会把这件事传成假的。毕竟,对客户隐瞒这么重要的事情,aa可是会遇到大麻烦的,没有哪个明星会愿意让喜欢擅作主张的经纪人帮自己打理事务。不过,我觉得,aa的经纪人应该不会蠢到向布鲁斯南隐瞒这些,这可是7000万美元的合约呢。” „Therefore?” “所以呢？” „Therefore, this very possible is the false news that aa spreads, but wants to recall this matter finds an excuse.” “所以,这很可能是aa放出的假消息,只是想要为挽回这件事找一个借口。” Eric smiles, has not said anything, has changed a topic, said: „, My new personal assistant, did you select the candidate?” 艾瑞克笑笑,没有说什么,换了个话题,道:“那么,我的新任贴身助理,你挑好人选了吗？” Kelly also wants to ask that actually Eric is anything planned at heart, look at him to shift the topic, has saying: „Is very appropriate, but I thought that should not deliver to side your this good-for-nothing her.” 凯莉其实还想问问艾瑞克心里到底是什么打算,看他转移话题,也只好道:“有一个很合适啊,不过我又觉得,不该把她送到你这个坏家伙身边呢。” „Oh, it seems like you want to do this matter.” Eric teased one, looks that Kelly transfers the red cheek instantaneously, said with a smile: „You say Carolyn?” “哦,看来你更愿意自己做这件事。”艾瑞克调侃了一句,看着凯莉瞬间转红的脸蛋,笑道:“你是说卡洛琳吧？” Kelly nods, said: „I and Carolyn have discussed that she also very wants. However, Eric, Carolyn may really be a good girl, do not injure her.” 凯莉点点头,道:“我和卡洛琳谈过,她也挺愿意的。不过,艾瑞克,卡洛琳可真是个好女孩呢,你不要伤害她。” Eric thinks that felt one have not been able to guarantee, therefore said: „Or, changes individual?” 艾瑞克想了想,感觉自己还真不敢保证,于是道:“要不,换个人？” Kelly white Eric, actually softens the sound track: „Eric, I can look, Carolyn anticipated very much can follow side you. Therefore, if you do not want such to do, chatted with her personally, preferably, had better be able make her change a work, you understand what I said was any meaning.” 凯莉白了艾瑞克一眼,却又柔声道:“艾瑞克,我看得出来,卡洛琳很期待能跟在你身边的。所以,如果你不想这么做,还是亲自和她谈谈吧,最好,最好能让她换一份工作,你明白我说的是什么意思。” Eric has hesitated , the expression nodded seriously: „Good, I will find next time over the two days.” 艾瑞克迟疑了下,表情郑重地点了点头:“好吧,我这两天会抽一下时间。” Was saying, the Eric cell phone has made a sound, after the connection greeted, listening to the opposite to say several, the Eric corners of the mouth are bringing light sneering, said: „Amy, you thought now is ten years ago, these manager can rush in the age of Film Studio management office casually...... Good, if they have the sincerity, was divided into the contract do not think, yesterday's four pieces made, 60 million USD, will sign tomorrow morning, no matter I Pierce did not know the circumstances of the matter, even if real, that was also his fault, this was the last opportunity...... Pierre Truk? I do not know this person, is not interested, you sent to be good him casually, I must go to San Francisco in the afternoon, this, did not have other matters, do not hit again to me.” 这么说着,艾瑞克的手机响了起来,接通后打了声招呼,听对面说了几句,艾瑞克嘴角带着淡淡的冷笑,道:“艾米,你觉得现在还是十年前,那些经纪人可以随便闯进电影公司高管办公室的年代了吗……好吧,如果他们真的有诚意,分成合约就不要想了,还是昨天的四部片约,6000万美元,明天早上签约,我不管皮尔斯是不是真的不知情,就算是真的,那也是他自己的失误,这是最后一次机会……皮埃尔・特鲁克？我不认识这个人,也不感兴趣,你们随便把他打发走就好了,我下午要去旧金山,就这样,没有其他事情,不要再打给我。” Kelly looks at Eric to hang the power failure words, throws the cell phone casually in side, cannot bear remind: „Eric, Pierre Truk is the spokesman of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Europe shareholder.” 凯莉看着艾瑞克挂掉电话,随便将手机丢在旁边,忍不住提醒道:“艾瑞克,皮埃尔・特鲁克是米高梅欧洲股东的代言人。” „I know.” “我知道啊。” Kelly has gawked, said: „You also......” 凯莉愣了下,道:“那你还……” „Indifferent person, disguised not to know,” Eric shrugged, is looking at the Kelly stunned expression, sighed unusually, said: „Perhaps, everybody present thought that I such did have somewhat acted willfully, right?” “无所谓的人,就假装不知道好了,”艾瑞克耸耸肩,望着凯莉错愕的表情,少有地叹了口气,道:“或许,大家现在都觉得我这么做有些一意孤行了,对吗？” Kelly notes in the Eric expression light desolate, the subconsciousness shook the head, but gently has selected immediately under. 凯莉注意到艾瑞克表情中淡淡的落寞,下意识摇了摇头,但随即又轻轻点了下头。 Eric shook the head, said: „All matters that has from today's this, you, Amy, periphery many people, even these media, firmly fell in the Hollywood existing regular shackles, everybody as if thought that «Casino Royale» Box Office is so good, as actor, Bruce, even if attains the 100 million USD salary, as if should be, but I never believe that I Bruce value pricetag unconsciously. Hollywood most does not lack is Actor, even if I start out the big square time the fixed weekly salary to recruit 007 now, the person who wants to obtain this work can also arrange from Malibu to Burbank goes. Therefore, starting today, no, should be starting from yesterday, I will tell all people slowly, does not have anything is natural. If wants a naturalness, that returned to the big square time to be good, at that time, all people also thought that Actor took the fixed weekly salary to be natural.” 艾瑞克只是又摇了摇头,道:“从今天这发生的一切事情来看,你啊,艾米啊,还有周围很多很多人,甚至那些媒体,都已经牢牢陷在好莱坞现有的规则桎梏中去了,大家似乎都觉得,《皇家赌场》票房这么好,作为男主角,布鲁斯南哪怕拿到一亿美元片酬,似乎都是应该的,但我从来就不这么认为,我更不觉的布鲁斯南值这个价码。好莱坞最不缺的就是演员,哪怕我现在开出大片场时代的固定周薪来招募007,想要获得这份工作的人也可以从马里布一直排到伯班克去。所以,从今天开始,不,应该是从昨天开始,我会慢慢告诉所有人,没有什么是理所当然的。如果想要一个理所当然,那就回到大片场时代好了,那个时候,所有人也都觉得演员拿固定周薪是理所当然的。” Kelly is looking at expression more and more firm Eric peacefully, understood gradually something, said in a soft voice: „But, this is very difficult.” 凯莉安静地望着语气越来越坚定的艾瑞克,渐渐明白了一些事情,轻声道:“可是,这很难的。” „You looked that” Eric put down the tableware, the palm in airborne empty has delimited, said: „Now I had half Hollywood, in the future I also can definitely have entire Hollywood, since this, that does not have any difficultly.” “你看啊,”艾瑞克放下餐具,手掌在空中虚划了一下,道:“现在我已经拥有了半个好莱坞,将来我也肯定能拥有整个好莱坞,既然这样,那就没什么难的了。” ...... …… „!” aa Headquarters, Richard Lovette was almost stamps one's foot had obloquied continuously several, pounded the cell phone in hand maliciously on the floor, the components of disruption splashed everywhere, deeply inspired, he also roars immediately: „Peter, helping me take a new cell phone.” “法克,法克,法克！”aa总部,理查德・洛维特几乎是跳着脚连续大骂了几声,狠狠将手中的手机砸在地板上,碎裂的零件到处飞溅,深吸了口气,他立刻又咆哮道:“彼得,帮我拿部新手机来。” An assistant opens door gingerly, handed over a new cell phone to come. 一位助理战战兢兢地推开门,递了一部新手机过来。 Richard Lovette received the cell phone, pressed several to press a key, pounded conveniently on the ground, loudly exclaimed to the door: „Peter, you can get the hell out, Eric, Oh, no, my this whole life does not want to hear this name again, that anyone, you can also get lost, the live person, helping me take a cell phone of belt address book.” 理查德・洛维特接过手机,按了几下按键,随手又砸在地上,冲着房门大吼道:“彼得,你可以滚蛋了,艾瑞克,哦,不,我这辈子都不想再听到这个名字,那个谁,你也可以滚了,还有活人吗,帮我拿一部带通讯录的手机来。” After dozens seconds, in Richard when Lovette cannot help tramples toward the office gate , the door finally once more opens, a whole face panic-stricken girl shoves open the door, in the hand is taking a cell phone: „Mr. Lovette, gives you.” 几十秒后,就在理查德・洛维特忍不住要往办公室门上踹去时,房门终于再次打开,一个满脸惊恐的女郎推开房门,手里拿着一部手机:“洛维特先生,给,给你。” Richard Lovette has seized the cell phone, opens the address book, speedily found one string of numbers, dials, the intonation fell several degrees immediately, the incomparable warm feelings said: „Hey, Tera, is I...... Haha, today truly meets some troublesome, this time is quite anxious, you must help me, I remember that you knew Pierre Truk, is Metro Goldwyn Mayer that director...... Naturally, about Pierce and Metro Goldwyn Mayer contract...... I know that this matter is Williams personally decided that but must give a try, I heard Pierre has caught up with Los Angeles, can help to relate, I want the airplane after him see above one side opposite party...... That many thanks, Oh, Lena has wanted to go to opening party of «RMS Titanic» exhibition hall, does not have the issue, does not have the issue absolutely, I make the person deliver several tickets to your family in this afternoon, that this. Naturally, I also owe you a favor, the next generation will not forget, good good, I definitely meet this whole life, haha.” 理查德・洛维特一把夺过手机,打开通讯录,迅速找到一串号码,拨通,声调立刻降了几度,无比热络道:“嘿,泰瑞,是我……哈哈,今天确实遇到些麻烦,这次比较急,你一定得帮我,我记得你认识皮埃尔・特鲁克,就是米高梅的那个董事……当然,关于皮尔斯与米高梅的合约……我知道这件事是威廉姆斯亲自决定的,但总要试试看,我听说皮埃尔已经赶来洛杉矶了,能不能帮忙联系一下,我想在他下飞机后就见上对方一面……那就多谢了,哦,丽娜想去《泰坦尼克号》展览馆的开幕派对,没问题,绝对没问题,我今天下午就让人送几张票到你家里,那就这样。当然,我还欠你一个人情,下辈子都不会忘,好吧好吧,我肯定会这辈子还的,哈哈。” Has smiled several frank, hangs the power failure words, Richard Lovette dials company partner David O'Connor's cell phone, lowers the sound saying: „Waiter, we had to trouble, now does not have the time to explain that many, you must do, immediately arranges the person to relate various newspaper offices, in today's evening news, must present Bruce to recall the contract claimed intentionally to article that the Metro Goldwyn Mayer salary condition knew nothing about, the more better, understood...... That this, I must hurry to the airport, is defending him, is supplying him, is coaxing him, delays the time as far as possible.”( To be continued.) 爽朗地笑了几声,挂掉电话,理查德・洛维特又拨通公司合伙人大卫・奥康纳的手机,压低声音道:“伙计,我们有麻烦了,现在没时间解释那么多,你要做的,就是立刻安排人联系各家报社,今天的晚报上,必须出现布鲁斯南为了挽回合约故意声称对米高梅片酬条件毫不知情的文章,越多越好,明白了吗……那就这样,我现在要赶去机场,还有,守着他,供着他,哄着他,尽可能地拖时间。”(未完待续。)
