Eric on that night party with Matthew Perry mentioned 《Ted》, he does not have the moral integrity to destroy the childhood to this completely the movie not anything scruples, instead showed the enormous interest. Both sides fit in easily, therefore, after symbolically the screen test, the 《Ted》 actor so is definite. 艾瑞克在当天晚上的派对上与马修・派瑞谈起了《泰迪熊》,他对这部完全无节操毁童年的电影并没有什么顾忌,反而表现出了极大的兴趣。双方一拍即合,于是,经过象征性地试镜,《泰迪熊》的男主角就这么确定下来。 Has decided the 《Ted》 actor, Eric personally responsible «The Lord of the Rings» and «Iron Man» and «The Fast and the Furious» and «Desperate Housewife» and other projects basically has been ready. When rushes to New York to accompany the women and children cross Christmas day, the project in hand, only remaining «Ring» Heroine are unresolved. 敲定了《泰迪熊》的男主角,艾瑞克亲自负责的《魔戒》、《钢铁侠》、《速度与激情》、《绝望主妇》等项目基本上都已经准备就绪。赶往纽约陪女人和孩子们过圣诞节时,手中的项目,就只剩下一部《午夜凶铃》女主角还悬而未决。 The majority of Western country immerses when Christmas day coming joyful, the Southeast Asia area is undergoing devastation of financial storm as before. 大部分西方国家都沉浸在圣诞节即将来临的喜悦中时,东南亚地区依旧在经受着金融风暴的摧残。 Used has resisted fully half a month later, South Korea also eventually gave up to the won protection, afterward short two weeks of time, the won exchanged the USD exchange rate to fly straight, once fell 1756 : 1 proportion, achieved terror 73% to one month ago maximum decline range. 倾尽全力抵抗了半个月之后,韩国也最终放弃了对韩元的守护,随后的短短两周时间,韩元兑美元汇率飞流直下,一度跌到了1756:1的比例,相对于一个月前的最高跌幅达到恐怖的73%。 Long Island, Eath Hampton. 长岛,东汉普顿。 Because two kids almost reached the school age, Joanna and Virginia no longer shift about between Eath Hampton and Southampton, at present Eath Hampton is constructing a brand-new elementary school, will wait for next year Kevin and Hawaii reach five years old, this institute will not count the cost construction the private school also almost to straighten out completely, just will make two kids enter a school. Before then, Joanna and Virginia unanimously decided that lets Kevin and Hawaii accepts the preschool education at home. 因为两个小家伙差不多到了上学年龄,乔安娜和维吉尼娅都不再在东汉普顿和南安普顿之间搬来搬去,眼下东汉普顿正在修建一所全新的小学,等明年凯文和夏威夷满五岁,这所完全不计成本建造的私立学校也差不多步入正轨,刚好让两个小家伙入学。在此之前,乔安娜和维吉尼娅一致决定让凯文和夏威夷在家里接受学前教育。 The time is on December 20, Eric flew from Los Angeles yesterday. 时间已经是12月20号,艾瑞克昨天才从洛杉矶飞了过来。 Chris also specially catches up with Eath Hampton to celebrate the Christmas day this year together. Has had the breakfast, Chris from their family/home since the Eath Hampton manor came and Eric chats the Southeast Asia matter. 克里斯一家今年也特意赶来东汉普顿一起过圣诞节。吃过早餐,克里斯就从他们家在东汉普顿的庄园过来和艾瑞克聊起了东南亚的事情。 For these days the east coast had just had a heavy snow, although welcomed the cloudless day, the sunlight did not have what temperature. 这几天东海岸刚刚下了一场大雪,虽然已经迎来了晴天,阳光却丝毫没有什么温度。 Eric and Chris have not actually hidden to go to the study room, but sits near the backyard swimming pool by the round table, is feeling the winter soft weak sunlight, but can also see that a not far away big girl is leading three kids in the pile snowman, that is Eva Pacula and Kevin, Hawaii as well as Emma. 艾瑞克和克里斯却都没有躲去书房,而是坐在后院游泳池边圆桌旁,感受着冬季绵软无力的阳光,还能看到不远处一个大女孩带着三个小家伙在堆雪人,那是爱娃・帕库拉和凯文、夏威夷以及艾玛。 „Apollo fund Mike of Typler does not know that cries loudly not to have in secret, he and other in the currencies chose in the Thai bhat, Indonesian rupiah has done spatially, this time will actually detain to pour the won not to fall suddenly, it is said that has owed 1.2 billion USD, the larger part of preliminary income has basically filled. Does not dare 100% determination won trends the funds also to rude awakening, but they are lucky, at least has not detained wrong. Falls suddenly 73%, almost all people have not thought that the won will fall in a short time is so ruthless, many people when the won exchanges USD 1500 : 1 start to finalize, if not you insisted that at that time I also planned such to do actually, but, such has not done luckily, now the fund in our account approached 800 million, finally after the settlement, except various expenses, the profit at least also has 450 million USD.” “阿波罗基金的迈克・泰普勒也不知道私下里大哭一场没有,他在泰铢、印尼盾等货币上都选择了做空,这次却押注了韩元不会暴跌,据说亏了12亿美元,前期收益的一大半基本上都填了进去。很多不敢100确定韩元走向的基金也后悔莫及,不过他们还算幸运,至少没有押错。暴跌73%啊,几乎所有人都没有想到韩元会在短时间内跌这么狠,很多人在韩元兑美元1500:1时就开始交割,如果不是你坚持,那时候我其实也打算这么做了,不过,也幸好没有这么做,现在我们账户上的资金已经接近8亿,最终结算后,除去各种费用,盈利至少也有4.5亿美元。” The Chris expression quite excitedly was saying, Eric actually also somewhat is at heart surprised, he thinks the rebirth the memory will not add on too big busy in this financial crisis, but the fact also has actually exceeded his anticipation. 克里斯语气颇为兴奋地说着,艾瑞克心里其实也有几分惊讶,他原本以为重生的记忆在这次金融危机中并不会帮上太大的忙,但事实却也超过了他自己的预期。 With won, when the Chris choice 1500 : 1 finalizes to USD in the won, at this time the won depreciation scope probably was 50%. When 1.1 billion USD dead end that the Firefly investment establishes, according to finalizing the fund that a won exchange rate, can recoup is 5. About 500 million USD, except the 300 million USD capital, the profit has 250 million USD. 就拿韩元来说,如果克里斯选择在韩元对美元1500:1时交割,这时韩元的贬值幅度大概是50%。萤火虫投资建立的11亿美元空头,按照交割时韩元汇率,能够收回的资金为5.5亿美元左右,除去3亿美元本金,盈利只有2.5亿美元。 But under insistence of Eric, Chris waited till the won to fall below 1700 points to start patiently to finalize, at this time, the value 1.1 billion USD won dead end cash, fell 300 million USD. After the dead end contract finalizes, the accounting income of Firefly investment approaches 800 million USD, profit after except capital were more than entire one time when 50% the won decline range. 但在艾瑞克的坚持下,克里斯耐心地等到了韩元跌破1700点才开始交割,这时候,原本价值11亿美元的韩元空头头寸,已经跌到了3亿美元。空头合约交割之后,萤火虫投资的账面收益就接近8亿美元,除去本金后的利润比韩元跌幅在50%时多了整整一倍。 In the entire Southeast Asia financial storm, Firefly invests the 700 million USD capital, in the entire process rose in value 1.8 billion USD, this similarly far ultra Eric initial anticipation. However, a large part of reason is the fund of Firefly investment is also few, the reason of ship passable tone. If quantum fund these changes the financial storm pattern sufficiently the large fund, wants to receive like this high repayment definitely is impossible. 整个东南亚金融风暴中,萤火虫投资7亿美元的本金,整个过程中增值到了18亿美元,这同样远超艾瑞克当初的预期。不过,这其中很大一部分原因也是萤火虫投资投入的资金很少,船小好调头的缘故。如果是量子基金这些足以改变金融风暴格局的大型基金,想要获得这样的高回报肯定是不可能的。 Was chatting, the twin carried pot hot coffee to come, they stopped the dialog temporarily, Eric glanced in twin's fair necks subconsciously, noted on silver necklace to hang ‚E’ character, this should be younger sister. 正聊着,双胞胎端了一壶热咖啡过来,两人暂时停止了对话,艾瑞克下意识瞟了眼双胞胎白皙的颈间,注意到银色项链上挂着‘E’字,这应该是妹妹伊芙。 When leaves, Chris carried her just to pour on coffee to them, said: „Eric, you did not think own woman were many?” 等伊芙离开,克里斯才端起她刚刚给两人倒上的咖啡,道:“艾瑞克,你不觉得自己身边的女人多了些吗？” „This is the dreams of my two lifetime,” Eric also with a smile carries the coffee, has referred to not far away Eva Pacula: „That does not only calculate.” “这可是我两辈子的梦想啊,”艾瑞克也笑着端起咖啡,又指了指不远处的爱娃・帕库拉:“那只可不算。” Chris actually looks at the back that left, said: „Said, other consider as finished.” 克里斯却是看了眼伊芙离开的背影,道:“这么说,其他的都算了。” „Yes,” Eric not mince nods, the acquisitive instinct also good incorrigbility of man, although had not eaten twin's meaning, plan that Eric has not actually surrendered something submissively. “是啊,”艾瑞克毫不掩饰地点头,无论是男人的占有欲也好劣根性也罢,虽然一直都没有吃掉双胞胎的意思,艾瑞克却也没有拱手让人的打算。 Chris partly teased asked the sentence, again has not continued this topic, said: „Said that next weekend Manhattan will have a fund Manager person to get together, can you pass to have a look together?” 克里斯只是半调侃地问了句,就没有再继续这个话题,道:“说起来,下周末曼哈顿有一个基金经理人聚会,你要一起过去看看吗？” „This you went to be good, I and they did not have any common language,” Eric shook the head, he truly did not have any interest to this community. “这个你自己去就行了,我和他们可没什么共同语言,”艾瑞克摇头,他对这个群体确实没什么兴趣。 „But rope Ross will also go,” in the Chris expression is bringing instigation: „My previous time runs into him, he added that likes you very much to his several evaluations, hopes that has the opportunity to be able with you to chat.” “可是索罗斯也会去啊,”克里斯语气里却带着怂恿:“我上次遇到他,他还说很喜欢你对他的那几句评语,希望有机会能和你聊聊呢。” The Eric doubts said: „What evaluation, I do not remember that I and he have met?” 艾瑞克疑惑道:“什么评语,我可不记得我和他见过面吧？” „Probably is, several classical Chinese, he spoke thoughtlessly to propose one at that time, I have not questioned in detail.” “好像是,几句古汉语,他当时只是随口提了一句,我也没有细问。” Eric then thinks that it is estimated that after is he initially read rope Ross that «Finance Alchemy», in ‚world that on that book flyleaf writes is the furnace, the good fortune is the labor \; The Yin-Yang is the carbon, the myriad things for copper’, he thought in these two words at that time with «Peng Bird Tax» described rope Ross is appropriate in being shifty of international money market. 艾瑞克这才想起来,估计是他当初阅读索罗斯那本《金融炼金术》之后,在那本书扉页上写的‘天地为炉兮,造化为工\;阴阳为碳兮,万物为铜’,他当时觉得用《鹏鸟赋》中这两句话来形容索罗斯在国际金融市场的翻云覆雨非常贴切。 Eric remembers that writes that several words «Finance Alchemy» gives Katzenberg, wants to come this matter to pass to Somalian Ross ear from Katzenberg here. The Katzenberg book is the New York person, will come back frequently, rope Ross it is said also makes friends broadly, the opportunity that their two meet is very big. 艾瑞克记得将写着那几句话的《金融炼金术》送给卡森伯格了,想来这件事应该是从卡森伯格这里传到索罗斯耳中的。卡森伯格本就是纽约人,经常会回来,索罗斯据说也交游广阔,他们两个遇上的机会还是很大的。 „I almost thought that” Eric nods, he also was very actually curious to Somalian Ross, therefore said: „Next weekend words, if there is an opportunity, then had a look on the past.” “我差不多想起来了,”艾瑞克点点头,他对索罗斯其实也挺好奇的,于是道:“下周末的话,如果有机会,那就过去看看。” They were chatting, the Eric cell phone has made a sound, looked at getting down electricity to show that could not bear smile, just remembered Katzenberg, he telephoned. 两人正聊着,艾瑞克的手机响了,看了下来电显示,忍不住笑了下,刚刚想起卡森伯格,他就打电话过来了。 Held up the cell phone to hint toward Chris, Eric has not shunted, by has pressed down the connection key on the chairback. 举起手机朝克里斯示意了下,艾瑞克也没有躲开,靠在椅背上就按下了接通键。 Exchanged greetings two, Eric asked: „Jeffrey, should the Los Angeles that side around 6 : 00 am, what urgent matter have?” 寒暄了两句,艾瑞克就问道:“杰弗瑞,洛杉矶那边应该还是早上六点多吧,有什么急事吗？” „......” “……” Telephone another side Katzenberg said several anything, Eric shakes the head, said: „I have looked on some newspaper in the morning the movie criticism, the «Rush Hour 2» reputation as if do not have «Galaxy Corps» am so good, has not seen the Box Office information actually, should your side come out?” 电话另一边的卡森伯格说了几句什么,艾瑞克摇头,道:“我早上看过了一些报纸上影评,《尖峰时刻2》的口碑似乎没有《星河战队》那么好,倒是还没有看到票房信息,你那边应该出来了吧？” Yesterday was on December 19, on Friday, was the beginning of Christmas running schedule, Firefly Group new line Film Industry «Rush Hour 2» and Sony Film Industry «Galaxy Corps» massively screened yesterday. 昨天是12月19号,周五,也是圣诞档期的开端,萤火虫集团旗下新线影业的《尖峰时刻2》和索尼影业的《星河战队》就在昨天大规模上映。 The Los Angeles time zone compared with New York late three hours, New York now is around 9 : 00 am, that side Los Angeles just now passes 6 : 00 am, has not been the work hours. When Eric like last year «RMS Titanic» screens has not given special attention to the Box Office information, in this case, the Los Angeles Firefly release department will send yesterday's one-day Box Office information after going to work probably to the Eric electronic mail. 洛杉矶的时区比纽约晚了三个小时,纽约现在已经是上午九点多,洛杉矶那边才刚过早上六点,远没有到上班时间。艾瑞克也没有像去年《泰坦尼克号》上映时那样特别关注票房信息,这种情况下,洛杉矶的萤火虫发行部门大概会在上班之后才会把昨日的单日票房信息发送到艾瑞克的电子邮箱里。 When Eric has the breakfast had looked at some «Rush Hour 2» and «Galaxy Corps» movie criticism actually, generally speaking, «Rush Hour 2» can only be passes an examination in movie criticism reputation reluctantly, «Galaxy Corps» is much better, the quality synthetic evaluation has exceeded 7 points. 艾瑞克吃早餐时倒是已经看过了一些《尖峰时刻2》和《星河战队》的影评,总体来说,《尖峰时刻2》在影评口碑方面只能算是勉强及格,《星河战队》却好得多,综合评价超过了7分。 Listens to Katzenberg to call to mention «Rush Hour 2» specially, the Eric book thinks that this movie Box Office possibly must be in unfavorable situation, he had some preparations ahead of time, but, said along with Katzenberg several anything, Eric relaxes immediately: „First date 2 3.1 million USD, won't you make a mistake?” 听卡森伯格特意打电话过来提起《尖峰时刻2》,艾瑞克本以为这部影片票房可能也要失利了,他已经提前有了些心理准备,只是,随着卡森伯格又说了几句什么,艾瑞克立刻直起腰:“首日2310万美元,你们不会弄错了吧？” „......” “……” „How many that «Galaxy Corps» first date was Box Office?” “那《星河战队》的首日票房是多少？” „......” “……” Eric listens to Katzenberg to send out some digit patiently, often nods, chatted several, this hangs the power failure words, the look somewhat is complex. 艾瑞克耐心地听卡森伯格报出一些数字,不时地点点头,又聊了几句,这才挂掉电话,神色却有些复杂。 Chris sat in side listened to a general idea, but curiously asked: „What 2 3.1 million USD?” 克里斯坐在旁边已经听出了一个大概,但还是好奇地问道:“什么2310万美元？” „«Rush Hour 2», should you look at first part?” “《尖峰时刻2》,你应该看过第一部吧？” „Un, very interesting movie,” Chris nods, but, was influenced by what one sees and hears was so long, Chris about Hollywood very much knew that just said with amazement said: „You said that first date Box Office of this movie was 2 3.1 million USD?” “嗯,很有意思的电影,”克里斯点头,不过,耳濡目染了这么久,克里斯对好莱坞还是很了解的,刚说完就惊讶道:“你是说,这部电影的首日票房是2310万美元？” In the impression of Chris, «Rush Hour» can only be in the movement comedy movie of low cost. first part Box Office as if also good, but sequel first date Box Office achieved 2 3.1 million to be unexpected. Must know that according to the first date Box Office data, the «Rush Hour 2» weekend three Tianbao bottoms also had 60 million USD Box Office, first week Box Office likely surpassed 80 million. 克里斯的印象中,《尖峰时刻》只能算是一部中低成本的动作喜剧片。第一部的票房似乎也不错,但续集首日票房达到2310万就出乎预料了。要知道,按照首日票房数据,《尖峰时刻2》首周末三天保底也有6000万美元票房,首周票房很可能超过8000万。 In Hollywood, first week Box Office can surpass 80 million USD, basically is super big manufactures in seven big Film Studio hands, because these movies are having many announcement and marketing resources. The heavy pound movie of Firefly Christmas running schedule should be «Jurassic Park 3» is right, although «Rush Hour 2» were also favored, but cannot achieve «Jurassic Park 3» absolutely was taken seriously the degree, if expected beforehand «Rush Hour 2» Box Office so will be splendid, Firefly will definitely not place «Jurassic Park 3» this movie, because this definitely will create internal competition. 在好莱坞,首周票房能够超过8000万美元的,基本上都是七大电影公司手中的超级大制作,因为这些影片拥有着更多的宣发和营销资源。萤火虫圣诞档期的重磅影片应该是《侏罗纪公园3》才对,《尖峰时刻2》虽然也被非常看好,但绝对达不到《侏罗纪公园3》的被重视程度,如果事先预料到《尖峰时刻2》的票房会如此出色,萤火虫肯定不会把这部影片放在《侏罗纪公园3》,因为这肯定会造成内部竞争。 Eric looks at the Chris surprised expression, nods, said: „Everybody has not thought that the best Box Office estimate of new line in the weekend to «Rush Hour 2» is 30 million USD, in other words, one-day Box Office should in 10 million USD about. But the actual number is actually anticipated more than two times. Actually Sony Film Industry «Galaxy Corps», somewhat conforms to our anticipated to «Rush Hour 2», I think this movie returns to suppress «Rush Hour 2», but in fact, its first date Box Office only then 8 300,000 USD, do not arrive at «Rush Hour 2» half.” 艾瑞克看着克里斯惊讶的表情,点点头,道:“大家都没想到,新线对《尖峰时刻2》首周末最好的票房预估是3000万美元,也就是说,单日票房应该在1000万美元左右。但实际数字却是预期的两倍多。倒是索尼影业的《星河战队》,有些符合我们对《尖峰时刻2》的预期,我原本以为这部电影回压制《尖峰时刻2》,但实际上,它的首日票房只有830万美元,不到《尖峰时刻2》的一半。” Chris said: „This way, next week's «Jurassic Park 3» should come under some influences?” 克里斯道:“这样看来,下周的《侏罗纪公园3》应该会受到一些影响吧？” „Will be definitely influential,” Eric smiles bitterly the nod saying: „Said, I did not determine «Jurassic Park 3» first week Box Office can achieve 80 million USD, this after all was third, now the situation will be worse. Originally, the «Rush Hour 2» first week anticipated is about 50 million USD, like this second week Box Office will fall to 30 million USD, that not will produce anything to affect to «Jurassic Park 3». But now, «Rush Hour 2» first weeks, if surpasses 80 million USD, next week Box Office decline range according to 40% calculates that has 50 million USD as before, this was almost one-fourth of North America single week Box Office total amount.” “肯定会有影响啊,”艾瑞克苦笑着点头道:“说真的,我原本都不确定《侏罗纪公园3》首周票房能不能达到8000万美元,这毕竟是第三部了,现在情况可能会更糟一些。原本,《尖峰时刻2》的首周预期是5000万美元左右,这样第二周票房就会滑落到3000万美元以内,那就不会对《侏罗纪公园3》产生什么影响。但现在,《尖峰时刻2》首周如果超过8000万美元,次周票房跌幅按照四成来算,依旧有5000万美元,这差不多是北美单周票房总额的1了。” Chris hear of Eric said that said: „No matter what, this always good deed.” 克里斯听艾瑞克说完,道:“不管怎样,这总是一件好事。” „Yes, in any case, as Boss, I am affirmed hopes Firefly movie Box Office the higher the better.” “是啊,反正,作为老板,我是肯定希望萤火虫旗下电影票房越高越好的。” Arien may also only be able such saying that but, actually once more decides at heart the development brand-new movie running schedule, at least must avoid the movie in Firefly system being affected mutually. 艾瑞可也只能这么说道,只是,心里却再次打定主意拓展全新的电影档期,至少也要避免萤火虫体系内的影片相互受到影响。 However, this matter said simply, implements , the matter that needs to measure will be more complex. Which movies should place slightly some unpopular running schedules, which movies should adjust the best running schedule to use the biggest Box Office potential, these are not a matter of easy decision. 不过,这种事说起来简单,真的实施起来,需要权衡的事情却会更加复杂。哪些影片该放在稍微冷门些的档期,哪些影片该调到最好的档期发挥最大的票房潜力,这些都不是一件容易决定的事情。 After all, Eric majority of times , can only know some movies the approximate Box Office prospects . Moreover, deviates track originally along with the Hollywood development path more and more, some boosts that the Eric previous life memory brings gradually is also weakened. 毕竟,艾瑞克大部分时候,也只能知道一些影片的大致票房前景,而且,随着好莱坞发展轨迹越来越偏离原本的轨道,艾瑞克前世记忆带来的一些助力也将逐渐被削弱。 Chris can also feel the depression in Eric expression. 克里斯也能感觉到艾瑞克表情中的郁闷。 He actually also clear, if wants two of Firefly «Jurassic Park 3» in «Rush Hour 2» and chooses one, Firefly definitely favors «Jurassic Park 3», because as special effect big piece, «Jurassic Park 3» overseas Box Office prospect far ultra North America native places, even if slightly worn out in the North America native place Box Office performance, but the global Box Office amount of space occupied can as before the relaxed crush majority of Hollywood heavy pound big piece. 他其实也清楚,如果要萤火虫在《尖峰时刻2》和《侏罗纪公园3》中二选一,萤火虫肯定更加倾向于《侏罗纪公园3》,因为作为特效大片,《侏罗纪公园3》的海外票房前景远超北美本土,即使在北美本土票房表现稍微疲软一些,但全球票房体量依旧能够轻松碾压大部分好莱坞重磅大片。 «Rush Hour 2» are different, the Box Office big end of this series actually is only restricted in North America, the overseas Box Office performance to the North America native place, can only be general . Moreover, the income of «Rush Hour» series in peripheral derivative, are unable place on a par with the «Jurassic Park» series. 《尖峰时刻2》却不一样,这个系列的票房大头却仅限于北美,海外票房表现相对于北美本土来说,就只能算是一般,而且,《尖峰时刻》系列在周边衍生品方面的收益,就更是无法与《侏罗纪公园》系列相提并论。
