After several long-distance conference calls, Firefly Group starts to carry out ‚RealD that’ Eric draws up methodically and ‚4200’ plan. 经过几次远程视频会议,萤火虫集团开始有条不紊地执行艾瑞克拟定的‘RealD’和‘4200’计划。 Core of RealD plan is development expertise aims at the RealD projection system as well as the ordinary movie transformation IMAX of 3 D movie DMR technology, therefore wants to realize, the difficulty is not too big, after all, the 3 D movie or the IMAX technology, has developed for dozens years, Firefly needs to do, many had the technology to unify, and carries on the further research and development promotion, to achieve the Eric demand. RealD计划的核心是开发专门针对3D电影的RealD放映系统以及普通电影转制IMAX的DMR技术,因此想要实现,难度并不是太大,毕竟,无论是3D电影还是IMAX技术,都已经发展了几十年时间,萤火虫需要做的,就是把很多已有技术结合起来,并进行进一步的研发提升,以达到艾瑞克的需求。 However, ‚4200’ plan carried out is not that easy, what Eric wanted was while Firefly can supply 3 D and IMAX movie source, basically achieved completes in the global range synchronously the construction work of 4000 3 D theater transformations as well as 200 IMAX theaters. After all, the corresponding theater constructs, actually cannot attain the movie source, the movie manufacture is completed, actually could not find the showing theater, will be a very awkward aspect. 不过,‘4200’计划执行起来就不是那么容易了,艾瑞克要的是在萤火虫能够供给3D和IMAX片源的同时,基本上达到同步完成全球范围内4000家3D影院改造以及200家IMAX影院的建设工作。毕竟,无论是相应影院建设起来,却拿不到片源,还是影片制作完成,却找不到放映影院,都将是一种非常尴尬的局面。 To realize synchronization in this time, the performer who needs to plan has formidable overall plan ability. Naturally, as the global biggest media group, is the execution formidable superintendent who Firefly most does not lack, finally, Katzenberg decides to be in command personally, is responsible for ‚4200’ the advancement of plan. 想要实现这种时间上的同步,就需要计划的执行者拥有非常强大的统筹能力。当然,作为全球最大的传媒集团,萤火虫旗下最不缺的就是执行力强大的管理者,最终,卡森伯格决定亲自挂帅,负责‘4200’计划的进程。 Staff quantity of Firefly Group in global range over 120,000, as Boss, has made the general orientation decision-making, Eric has not needed excessively to participate in these miniature matters again, he needs to wait for that is the final outcome. If entire group several thousand management as well as 100,000 staff cannot bring the thing that wants to him, then this company affirmed the major problem. Naturally, the reality is, Firefly Group is more splendid than the operation condition of Hollywood any media group. 萤火虫集团在全球范围内的员工数量已经超过120000,作为老板,做出了大方向的决策,艾瑞克也就不需要再过多参与这些具体而微的事情,他需要等待的,就是最终结果。如果整个集团数千名管理层以及100000员工都不能给他带来想要的东西,那么这家公司内部肯定出了大问题。当然,现实是,萤火虫集团比好莱坞任何一家传媒集团的运营状况都要出色。 Deployed that these two plans, Eric also on building that concentrates on the spice girl combining, simultaneously starts to write «Gravity» script, because has been ahead of time for more than ten years, original script definitely cannot use. 部署完这两份计划,艾瑞克也将精力转向辣妹组合的打造上,同时开始撰写《地心引力》的剧本,由于提前了十多年,原版的剧本肯定是不能用了。 In Simon five members who under managing of fuller, the spice girl combines had determined completely. 在西蒙・富勒的操持下,辣妹组合的五位成员已经全部确定。 Original spice girl combination, but prosperous was less than two years, because all kinds of internal contradictions disintegrate gradually, Eric is not clear has any dispute, but the postscript will not use candidate originally. Meanwhile, Simon fuller also and brand-new five combined the member to sign stricter five years of time contract, this, at least five years, the brand-new spice girl combined cannot present the possibility of fission. 原来的辣妹组合,只是红火了不到两年,就因为各种各样的内部矛盾逐渐分崩离析,艾瑞克不清楚其中到底有什么纠葛,但也不会再启用原本的人选。同时,西蒙・富勒也和全新的五位组合成员签署了更加严格的五年期合约,这样,至少五年内,全新的辣妹组合不会出现分裂的可能性。 Eric finds the time to build the spice girl to combine specially, mainly will land North America to prepare for next year Fireflyer player. 艾瑞克特意抽出时间打造辣妹组合,主要还是为了明年Fireflyer播放器登陆北美做准备。 The Firefly electron has been ahead of time with several members who the spice girl combines signs the intention contract that the brand represented, so long as the spice girl combines to rise, the Fireflyer player when the Europe listing, the spice girl will combine next year also becomes this brand in the Europe spokesman. Meanwhile, the spice girl combines can also be Fireflyer provides a number of most popular digital music copyright in the promotion of Europe. 萤火虫电子已经提前与辣妹组合的几位成员签署了品牌代言的意向合约,只要辣妹组合崛起,Fireflyer播放器明年在欧洲上市时,辣妹组合也将成为这一品牌在欧洲的代言人。同时,辣妹组合也可以为Fireflyer在欧洲的推广提供一批最热门的数字音乐版权。 Although the Firefly electron expanded 4 50,000 stages the moon/month capacity of Fireflyer player in July, under promotion that but in the entire Firefly system spared no effort, Fireflyer was getting more and more broad in the North America being all the rage degree, the monthly outputs of 4 50,000 stages are unable to meet the need of North America market as before. Except that Amazon was insisting throughout 299 USD selling prices, the selling prices of major entity retail merchants still maintain above 300 USD. 虽然萤火虫电子7月份将Fireflyer播放器的月产能扩充到了45万台,但在整个萤火虫体系不遗余力的推广下,Fireflyer在北美的风靡程度越来越广,45万台的月产量依旧无法满足北美市场的需求。除了亚马逊始终坚持着299美元的销售价格,各大实体零售商的销售价格依然维持在300美元以上。 Formally issues from April now, less than six months, the sales volume of Fireflyer player approached the 1.5 million stage. Firefly electron management estimated that after Malaysia assembles the factory officially puts into service, the Fireflyer player in North America in 1997 the sales volume with ease will achieve above the 3 million stage. 从4月份正式发布到现在,不到半年时间,Fireflyer播放器的销量就已经接近150万台。萤火虫电子管理层预计,马来西亚组装工厂正式投入运营后,Fireflyer播放器在北美的1997年销量将轻松达到300万台以上。 Even if according to the primitive fixed prices of 299 USD, the year sales volume of 3 million stage, will make the Firefly electron issue that the year turnover after first product breaks through 900 million USD. 哪怕按照299美元的原始定价,300万台的年销量,就将使得萤火虫电子发布第一款产品后的年营业额突破9亿美元。 Forbes United States enterprise 500 strong basic thresholds also only then about 2 billion USD, so long as wants, the Firefly electron can be accepted this list next year with ease, realizes the innumerable companies from the foundation to the goal that withering away is unable to hope to attain. But achieves this goal, regarding the Firefly electron, is only a beginning. 福布斯美国企业500强的入门门槛也就只有20亿美元左右,只要愿意,萤火虫电子明年就可以轻松入围这一榜单,实现无数公司从创建到消亡都无法企及的目标。但达到这一目标,对于萤火虫电子来说,也只是一个起点。 Stayed for several days in the villa of London Kensington garden avenue, decides in detail with Los Angeles that side two plans, Eric has moved to situated in London western suburbs pinery Film Studio nearby pinery small town, has rented a movie studio in pinery Film Studio while convenient, on the one hand is «Wann ABC e» MV shoots makes the rehearsal, on the other hand, is starts to ponder over «Gravity» shoots. 在伦敦肯辛顿花园大街的别墅住了几天,与洛杉矶那边详细地商定好两份方案,艾瑞克就搬到了位于伦敦西郊松林制片厂旁边的松林小镇,顺便在松林制片厂内租下了一栋摄影棚,一方面为《Wannabe》的MV拍摄做排演,另一方面,就是开始琢磨《地心引力》的拍摄。 Actually, these two matters calculate strictly that is a matter, Eric decided shoots mirror «Wann ABC e» MV, stemming from the interest, afterward because of the busy work schedule, Eric once planned to give up this idea completely, gives other people «Wann ABC e» MV. 其实,这两件事严格算来,还是一件事,艾瑞克原本打定主意拍摄一镜到底的《Wannabe》@MV,完全是出于兴趣,后来因为忙碌的工作日程,艾瑞克一度打算放弃这个想法,将《Wannabe》@MV交给其他人。 However, after producing manufactures the «Gravity» thought that Eric decided that takes up the camera to go forth to battle personally shoots this mirror long shot photo MV, this can ponder over long shot photo the transporting mirror technique, composition rule and other technical details of carefully, in order to is handier when shoots «Gravity». 不过,在产生制作《地心引力》的念头后,艾瑞克又决定拿起摄影机亲自上阵拍摄这部一镜到底的长镜头MV,这样可以仔细琢磨一下长镜头的运镜手法、构图规则等技术细节,以便在拍摄《地心引力》时更加得心应手。 Regarding the photographer candidate of this movie, Eric naturally also has thought Eyman Nour originally Lu Baez, but, after finding the several movies of opposite party have looked, Eric has cancelled this thought. 对于这部电影的摄影师人选,艾瑞克自然也想过原本的艾曼努尔・卢贝兹基,不过,找到对方的几部电影看过之后,艾瑞克就打消了这个念头。 Eyman Nour Lu Baez also enters the Hollywood shortly after ordinary photographer now, participates in several movie scene standards of shoots being fair, fully has not achieved several 20 years later that master standards. Now looks for him, even might as well Eric. 艾曼努尔・卢贝兹基现在还只是进入好莱坞没多久的普通摄影师,参与拍摄的几部电影镜头水准都中规中矩,完全没有达到十几20年后的那种大师级水准。现在找他,甚至还不如艾瑞克自己来。 Eric also truly planned one come, this is some of his moral nature small wicked interests. 艾瑞克也确实打算自己来,这算是他心底一些小小的恶趣味。 Through initial «The Others» and last year «My Heart Will Go On», Eric obtained Oscar best Original Script and best original song two young metal statues, attains ‚Director best screenwriter’ smoothly and ‚Director best song and poem person’ these two titles. Since this , to continue, attains one again ‚a Director best photographer’ title actually also good. 通过当初的《小岛惊魂》和去年的《我心永恒》,艾瑞克已经获得了奥斯卡最佳原创剧本和最佳原创歌曲两个小金人,顺利拿到‘导演届最好的编剧’和‘导演届最好的词曲人’这两个头衔。既然这样,继续下去,再拿到一个‘导演届最好的摄影师’头衔其实也不错。 Eric does not crave regarding Oscar, but, ‚game’ plays such one is very interesting. 艾瑞克对于奥斯卡并不热衷,不过,把这样一个‘游戏’玩下去还是很有意思的。 Except that best Heroine and best supporting actress basically do not have anything to hope that other majority of award items, Eric thought one can try, he just 27 years old, in the future he will not plan to put down the guide sleeve this year thoroughly. 除了最佳女主角和最佳女配角基本上没什么希望,其他大部分奖项,艾瑞克觉得自己都可以试试,他今年才刚刚27岁,未来他也不打算彻底放下导筒。 Established such one to be full of the wicked interest goal, in the future also many can give itself the advance driving force. 立下这样一个充满了恶趣味的目标,将来也多少能给自己一些前进的动力。 Before Eric comes Europe, has given Simon that «Wann ABC e» fuller, the spice girl combines at present has practiced adeptly this song incomparable. Eric has also chosen one to be used in the shoots this song MV club in London, but, rehearsed ahead of time can only carry on the movie studio, otherwise definitely wantonly will be surrounded. 艾瑞克来欧洲之前,就把那首《Wannabe》交给了西蒙・富勒,眼下辣妹组合已经将这首歌练得娴熟无比。艾瑞克也已经在伦敦选好了一家用于拍摄这首歌MV的俱乐部,只不过,提前排演就只能在摄影棚内进行了,否则肯定会被人大肆围观。 Meanwhile, after a United Kingdom key industrial city Birmingham visited the car assembly shop, Eric settled on the model of high accuracy assembly robot of German Kukka Robot Company. 与此同时,在去了一趟英国的工业重镇伯明翰参观了汽车装配车间后,艾瑞克就看中了德国库卡机器人公司的一款高精度装配机器人。 Knew that Eric Williams must use robot shoots that oneself company produces his next movie, Kukka Corporation appears very earnest, expressed willingness that free is the robot that Eric provides two him to need, and re-equipping work that is responsible for Eric needing. The condition is Eric below movie in the propaganda process, must mention the name of Kukka Corporation. 得知艾瑞克・威廉姆斯要使用自家公司生产的机器人拍摄他的下一部电影,库卡公司显得非常热切,表示愿意免费为艾瑞克提供两台他所需要的机器人,并负责艾瑞克所需要的改装工作。条件是艾瑞克的下部影片在宣传过程中,必须提到库卡公司的名字。 That robot each value that Eric settles on achieves 1 million USD, if this type of precision instrument is not familiar constructs, re-equips also to trouble voluntarily layer on layer. Since Kukka Corporation is willing to provide free, gives enough support in the scrap build, Eric naturally cannot reject. Moreover, in the future in the film promotion process, the «Gravity» shoots way definitely is a topic of not being able to shunt, when the time comes only needs while convenient to mention the name of Kukka Corporation, is not any important matter. 艾瑞克看中的那款机器人每台价值达到100万美元,这种精密仪器如果不熟悉构造,自行改装起来也麻烦重重。既然库卡公司愿意免费提供,又在设备改装上给予足够的支持,艾瑞克自然不会拒绝。而且,未来电影宣传过程中,《地心引力》的拍摄方式肯定是一个躲不开的话题,到时候只需要顺带提一下库卡公司的名字,并不算什么大事。 Kukka robot company in Germany sends pinery Film Studio two high accuracy robots, rents in the movie studio that installs after Eric, the Eric majority of time soak in the movie studio, are «Wann ABC e» MV shoots carry on the background, the engineer who while send specially with Kukka robot company studies the re-equipping work of robot together and studies the operating procedure. 德国的库卡机器人公司把两台高精度机器人送来松林制片厂,在艾瑞克租赁的摄影棚内安装好以后,艾瑞克的大部分时间就都泡在摄影棚里,一边为《Wannabe》的MV拍摄进行布景,一边和库卡机器人公司专门派来的工程师一起研究机器人的改装工作并学习操作方法。 Returns to London, especially Eric moves to after city pinery Film Studio lives, Carolyn recent several days have been happy, because she not only can every night go home to go, but, um, although she will not mention to anybody absolutely, but, Eric of thrust build-up no longer everywhere ran finally does not have the shadow, she can every day see him on time. 回到伦敦,特别是艾瑞克从城内搬到松林制片厂居住后,卡洛琳最近几天的心情就一直非常好,因为她不但可以每天晚上都回家去住,而且,嗯,虽然她绝对不会对任何人提起,但,进入工作状态的艾瑞克终于不再到处跑得没影子了,她可以每天都准时见到他。 Toward noon, Carolyn and Melanie leave them the office together in pinery Film Studio, arrives in the Film Studio northwest corner movie studio, plans and Eric has the lunch together, discussed the matters in some work while convenient. 临近中午,卡洛琳和梅兰妮一起离开她们在松林制片厂内的办公室,来到制片厂西北角一件摄影棚内,打算和艾瑞克一起吃午餐,顺便谈一些工作方面的事情。 This is one 60 meters in length 50 meters in width large-scale movie studio, internal area close 3000 square meters, the ceiling also wants to be higher than other movie studios, appears very spacious. 这是一栋长60米宽50米的大型摄影棚,内部面积接近3000平米,顶棚也比其他摄影棚要高一些,显得非常宽敞。 In the movie studio, some staff are carrying on the background according to that club pattern of Eric choice. Carolyn has sized up, understands that these backgrounds must complete immediately. Eric has raised, he planned that rehearses with one week of time, then rushes to the London city to carry on shoots, even if shoots in city is not quite smooth, entire process not over two weeks. 摄影棚内,一些工作人员正在按照艾瑞克选择的那家俱乐部格局进行着布景。卡洛琳四下打量了一番,明白这些布景马上就要完成了。艾瑞克提过,他打算用一周时间来排演,然后再赶到伦敦城内进行拍摄,即使城内的拍摄不太顺利,整个过程也不会超过两个星期。 Two weeks, does not know for two weeks later, how long Eric will also stay in United Kingdom, Carolyn hopes at heart this date can the longer the better. 两个星期啊,也不知道两个星期后,艾瑞克还会在英国呆多久,卡洛琳心里是非常希望这个日期能越长越好的。 Bypasses the exterior background to continue toward to walk, quick arrives at another to separate a probably 300-400 square meters region specially. 绕过外部的布景去继续往里走,很快就来到另外一块专门隔出来大概三四百平米的区域。 In the ground is placing two very striking red-orange robots, the solid foundation imposition on a rail track vehicle, is three meters many mechanical arm peak, has installed a small DV camera, another plan must hold Actor to perform, but has not re-equipped with enough time, in the peak is fixing stuffed dummy professional model. 地面上摆放着两台非常醒目的橘红色机器人,坚实的底座安放在一台滑轨车上,长达三米多的机械臂顶端,一台安装了一个小型的DV摄像机,另外一台计划是要托着演员进行表演的,只是还没来得及改装,顶端上固定着一个假人模特。 That named Bryan Kelaisidun engineer who Eric and Kukka Corporation sends is standing in the surrounding together, in a manpower takes one to control remotely PDA, is operating two robot seculars manually. 艾瑞克和库卡公司派来的那位名叫布莱恩・克莱斯顿的工程师正一起站在外围,一人手里拿着一台遥控PDA,正在手工操纵两台机器人缓慢运动着。 Carolyn and Melanie stand by surrounding several staff peacefully, has not disturbed, to wait for Eric and Bryan Kelaisidun finally shut-down operation, they walk to go forward, stand in Eric behind, watch the content that just DV camera shoots got down through the computer screen together. 卡洛琳和梅兰妮安静地站在外围几个工作人员旁边,没有打扰,等艾瑞克和布莱恩・克莱斯顿终于停止操作,她们才走上前,站在艾瑞克身后,一起通过电脑屏幕观看刚刚DV摄像机拍摄下来的内容。 If disregards mechanical arm in picture, the stuffed dummy professional model path appears has one's wish, absolutely does not have the high and low about fetter, truly a little feeling of outer space float, but also is so little, this perhaps is the stuffed dummy body stiff reason, or is Eric their operations is not quite adept. 如果无视画面中的机械臂,假人模特的运动轨迹显得随心所欲,完全没有上下左右的束缚,确实有一点太空漂浮的感觉,但也只有那么一点点,这或许是假人肢体僵硬的缘故,又或者是艾瑞克两人的操作还不太娴熟。 „If can change into puts on the honorable person of spacesuits to be OK, the stuffed dummy looked like too stiff.” Eric has playbacked carefully several, muttered. “如果能换成穿着宇航服的真人就可以了,假人看起来太僵硬了。”艾瑞克仔细回放了几遍,就喃喃自语道。 Bryan Kelaisidun have a relish is also appreciating the picture in computer screen, hears saying: „Eric, if you need, I can take steps to re-equip immediately, only requires two days of time.” 布莱恩・克莱斯顿也饶有兴致地欣赏着电脑屏幕里的画面,闻言道:“艾瑞克,如果你需要的话,我可以立刻着手进行改装,只需要两天时间就可以。” Eric shakes the head with a smile, said: „Thank you, Bryan, but, I must consider how should re-equip.” 艾瑞克笑着摇摇头,道:“谢谢你了,布莱恩,不过,我还要考虑一下该怎么改装。” „Naturally, Eric, this does not worry,” Bryan Kelaisidun is smiling nod. “当然,艾瑞克,这并不着急,”布莱恩・克莱斯顿微笑着点点头。 Eric has playbacked the picture one side, turns head to look to Melanie and Carolyn, he just noted two girls to come. 艾瑞克又将画面回放了一边,就扭头看向梅兰妮和卡洛琳,他刚刚就注意到两个女孩过来了。 „You in the afternoon with looking for one spacesuits come, does not need real, can sets in stuffed dummy model.” “你们下午与找一套宇航服过来,不需要是真的,能套在假人身上的模型就可以。” „Good,” Melanie nods, has knocked the watch in wrist/skill, said: „, Eric, already to lunchtime.” “好的,”梅兰妮点点头,又敲了敲手腕上的手表,道:“还有,艾瑞克,已经到午餐时间了。” „Un, we eat meal first,” Eric was saying, looked in Carolyn to hold a small box, asked with a smile: „Weren't you will have prepared the lunch to me?” “嗯,那我们先去吃饭吧,”艾瑞克说着,看了眼卡洛琳手里捧着一个小盒子,笑着问道:“你们不会是已经给我准备好午餐了吧？” „,” Carolyn does not shake the head, has demonstrated toward Eric the bosom box, said: „This is the music cell phone prototype that Nokia Corporation sends in the morning.” “不是呢,”卡洛琳摇头,把怀里的盒子朝艾瑞克展示了下,说道:“这是诺基亚公司上午送来的音乐手机样机。” Eric saw that on the box is printing the Nokia trademark, nods, said: „We go to the dining room, has a look while convenient.” 艾瑞克看到盒子上印着诺基亚的商标,点点头,道:“我们去餐厅吧,顺便看看。” Eric said that also greeted with other periphery several staff, everybody then leaves to have the lunch, Bryan Kelaisidun not with Eric they together, but has greeted, left with other staff. 艾瑞克说完,又和周围其他几个工作人员打了声招呼,大家便都离开去吃午餐,布莱恩・克莱斯顿也没有和艾瑞克他们一起,只是打过招呼,就和其他工作人员一起离开了。 Eric is bringing Carolyn and Melanie played the Film Studio internal dining room, has ordered the lunch, disassembles the box that Carolyn brings. 艾瑞克带着卡洛琳和梅兰妮一起到了制片厂内部一家餐厅,点了午餐,才将卡洛琳带来的盒子拆开。 „I had read material ahead of time,” Carolyn looks that Eric opens the box to put out the prototype to hold appreciatively, explained on own initiative to Eric in side: „These two models of prototypes, has used the flash storage medium, but the capacity is only 64 M, can save 10 songs probably, this is also the universal capacity of present flash memory chip. What another use is the miniature hard disk, the most new product of Seagate Technology, the capacity achieves 2 G. In the material that Nokia gives said that they the large-scale production flash will not save the medium temporarily the music cell phone, is only as the technical accumulation. Uses the music cell phone of miniature hard disk to meet to the type of market, in January of next year, they formally will issue that is similar to the plan of second-generation Fireflyer player, is divided into the 1 G capacity and 2 G capacity two types, the selling price probably is 600 USD and 700 USD.” “我已经提前看过资料了,”卡洛琳看着艾瑞克打开盒子拿出样机把玩起来,主动在旁边给艾瑞克讲解道:“这两款样机,一款使用了闪存存储介质,不过容量只有64M,大概能存储10首歌,这也是现在闪存存储芯片的普遍容量。另外一款使用的是微型硬盘,希捷公司的最新产品,容量达到2G。诺基亚给的资料上说,他们暂时不会大规模生产闪存存储媒介的音乐手机,只是作为技术积累。使用微型硬盘的音乐手机才会是面向市场的机型,明年一月份,他们就会正式发布,和第二代Fireflyer播放器的计划类似,分为1G容量和2G容量两种,售价大概为600美元和700美元。”
