The private car stops outside Hilton Hotel, Eric and Elizabeth were welcoming the crowded magnesium lamp, hotel security entered the hotel at the guard of bodyguard and under quickly. 座驾在希尔顿酒店外停下,艾瑞克和伊丽莎白迎着密集的镁光灯,在保镖和酒店保安的护卫下快走进酒店。 Just went to the hotel lobby, Eric hears the ear to broadcast the warm greeting sound: „Eric, has not thought really you can come.” 刚刚来到酒店大厅,艾瑞克就听到耳边传来热情的招呼声音:“艾瑞克,真没想到你会过来。” Goes following the prestige, what speech is Nicolas Cage, side Cage also with Hollywood star Meg Ryan, as well as another tall black person, three people was just chatting evidently. 循声望去,说话的是尼古拉斯・凯奇,凯奇身边还跟着好莱坞女星梅格・瑞恩,以及另外一个身材高大的黑人,看样子三人刚刚正在聊天。 As that black person has turned around, Eric then recognizes the opposite party is Richard Parsons, one of the Hollywood unusual African management, Richard Parsons holds the post of Time Warner group Vice Chairman as well as Warner Bros. Production Studio BSP at present \; Saw that three people walk together toward here, Eric also brings Elizabeth to move forward to meet somebody, 11 greeted: „Good evening, Nick, Richard, Oh, Ms. Ryan, you may be really attractive tonight.” 随着那位黑人转过身,艾瑞克这才认出对方是理查德・帕森斯,好莱坞少有的非洲裔高管之一,理查德・帕森斯目前担任时代华纳集团副总裁以及华纳兄弟制作公司bsp\;看到三人一起朝这边走来,艾瑞克也带着伊丽莎白迎上去,11打招呼道:“晚上好,尼克,理查,哦,还有瑞恩女士,你今晚可真漂亮。” Except that personal friendship quite good Cage, another two everybody can only be the understanding, Elizabeth also and three people have greeted, Eric asked: „Therefore, what everybody was just chatting?” 除了私交比较好的凯奇,另外两位大家只能算是认识,伊丽莎白也和三人打过招呼,艾瑞克才问道:“所以,大家刚刚在聊什么？” „We also just arrived,” Cage said these words, the expression, with a smile again has not opened the mouth, but the trace glanced Richard Parsons. “我们也只是刚到,”凯奇说出这句话,语气顿了顿,就笑着没再开口,只是不着痕迹地瞟了眼理查德・帕森斯。 Actually, Cage, Meg Ryan as well as the Warner Bros. leader crowds together this time, the topic is obvious, definitely is Easter running schedule «City of of that Angel». 其实,凯奇,梅格・瑞恩以及华纳兄弟的掌门人这个时间凑在一起,话题显而易见,肯定是复活节档期的那部《天使之城》。 Richard Parsons does not have the meaning of what taboo, said with a smile frank: „We were just chatting company «City of of that Angel». Eric, regretted really we cannot achieve the cooperation in film promotion and Firefly, but you also know that in Warner, this matter is not I decides.” 理查德・帕森斯却丝毫没有什么避讳的意思,爽朗地笑道:“我们刚刚在聊公司的那部《天使之城》。艾瑞克,真遗憾我们没能在电影宣传方面与萤火虫达成合作,不过你也知道,在华纳内部,这种事情并不是我一个人说了算的。” „Has not related, we would the partnership opportunity,” Eric also shows the regrettable expression, shook the head. “没关系,我们总会有合作机会的,”艾瑞克也露出遗憾的表情,摇了摇头。 Also chatted several at will, Eric then brings Elizabeth to walk toward the elevator. 又随意聊了几句,艾瑞克便带着伊丽莎白朝电梯走去。 The excuse also has Richard of matter Parsons deeply sees the form that Eric they left, this smiling face genially once more with Cage and Meg Ryan chatted. 借口还有事情的理查德・帕森斯则深深地看了眼艾瑞克两人离开的身影,这才笑容和煦地再次与凯奇和梅格・瑞恩聊了起来。 The elevator door just closed, Elizabeth said on some gossip: „Eric, you thought that Terry after Semel the contract period will finish next year, can he also continue to defend the Time Warner CEO position?” 电梯门刚刚合上,伊丽莎白就有些八卦地说道:“艾瑞克,你觉得特里・塞梅尔明年合约期结束之后,他还能继续守住时代华纳eo的位置吗？” Eric somewhat lost is also thinking anything, listens to the Elizabeth words, shakes the head saying: „Possibility is not big.” 艾瑞克也有些出神地想着什么,听伊丽莎白的话,摇头道:“可能性不大。” These years, Time Warner, initially Time Warner group founder Steve Ross remains takes Terry Semel for the old minister is a department, early helmsman Gerald of time company arranges in order the article is a department, Turner broadcasting company founder Ted Turner is a department, a series of heavyweight shareholders who in addition initially in the group expansion merger and acquisition process said that entire Time Warner is the mountain top stands in great numbers. 这些年,时代华纳内部,当初时代华纳集团创始人史蒂夫・罗斯留下来的以特里・塞梅尔为的老臣为一系,早期时代公司的掌舵人杰拉尔德・列文为一系,特纳广播公司创始人泰德・特纳为一系,再加上当初集团扩张并购过程中引入的一系列重量级股东,整个时代华纳内部可谓是山头林立。 As Steve one of the Ross designated heirs, Terry Semel initially as before experienced a power struggle, this attains the Time Warner group Chairman and CEO throne. However, these year of Time Warner achievements are tepid, Steve the influence that Ross leaves behind is also getting more and more weak, Terry Semel wants after this term had ended continues fingers and palm Time Warner, basically is unlikely. 作为史蒂夫・罗斯的指定继承人之一,特里・塞梅尔当初依旧经历了一番权力斗争,这才拿到时代华纳集团董事长兼eo的宝座。不过,这些年时代华纳的业绩不温不火,史蒂夫・罗斯遗留下来的影响力也越来越弱,特里・塞梅尔想要在这一届任期结束后继续指掌时代华纳,基本上不太可能。 Just saw Richard Parsons, Eric thought faintly that previous life that had the world-shaking Time Warner and in the AOL merger process, this name presented the number of times in reportage is frequent. According to understanding of Eric present Time Warner, Richard Parsons is Gerald arranges in order a backbone of article department. 刚刚看到理查德・帕森斯,艾瑞克隐隐想起来,前世那起震惊世界的时代华纳与美国在线合并案过程中,这个名字出现在新闻报道中的次数非常频繁。根据艾瑞克对现在时代华纳的了解,理查德・帕森斯是杰拉尔德・列文一系的骨干。 Although Eric personally with Steve Kyes has discussed several times, but he has not always given up building an ambition of Internet media group AOL, Chris started the layout to capture the AOL initiative now. 艾瑞克虽然亲自与史蒂夫・凯斯谈过几次,但他始终都没有放弃将美国在线打造成一家互联网传媒集团的野心,克里斯现在已经开始布局夺取美国在线的主动权。 On the other hand, AOL wants to purchase Time Warner, a palm of the hand definitely claps not loud, Time Warner definitely also some people on own initiative will facilitate this merger and acquisition. Then, sees Richard Parsons, unifies the information in memory, Eric also approximately can determine that which side Time Warner supports the influence of this merger and acquisition to be. 另一方面,美国在线想要收购时代华纳,一个巴掌肯定是拍不响的,时代华纳内部肯定也有人会主动促成这起并购。那么,看到理查德・帕森斯,结合记忆中的信息,艾瑞克也大致能够确定时代华纳内部支持这起并购的势力属于哪一方。 Terry after Semel leaves office, Steve influence of Ross to Time Warner will dissipate thoroughly. 特里・塞梅尔下台后,史蒂夫・罗斯对时代华纳的影响力将彻底消散。 Then, is controlling Ted of Time Warner profit richest cable TV service a Turner department, will become in Time Warner influence biggest gang of troops. Ted although Turner these years at the semiretirement condition, have not met after the wedding comfortable Time Warner to hold the post of the real power duty, so long as want, he can definitely support one to favor his company Chairman and BSP \; Compares, Gerald arranges in order article one is to win the Time Warner domination the possibility to be very low, then, they, if regrets under the inhabitants unwillingly, can only try another method. Facilitates AOL and merges of Time Warner these two big giants, without doubt can expand oneself in a short time in the Time Warner internal influence, thus earns the young shareholder's support that the massive hands grasp the voting rights. 那么,控制着时代华纳利润最丰厚的有线电视业务的泰德・特纳一系,将成为时代华纳内部势力最大的一股人马。泰德・特纳这些年虽然已经处在半退休状态,不会亲自在时代华纳内部担任实权职务,但只要愿意,他肯定能够扶持一个倾向于自己的公司董事长和bsp\;相比起来,杰拉尔德・列文一系想要获得时代华纳控制权的可能性很低,那么,他们如果不甘心屈居人下,就只能另辟蹊径。促成美国在线与时代华纳这两大巨头的合并,无疑能够短时间内扩大自身在时代华纳内部的影响力,从而获得大量手握投票权的小股东的支持。 Naturally, now Steve Kyes should still in secret seek for the merge goal, perhaps, can give him to create some barriers in this aspect. 当然,现在史蒂夫・凯斯应该还在私下里寻找合并目标,或许,可以在这方面给他制造一些障碍。 The prompt sound that the elevator door opens pulls back the reality from the ponder Eric, smiled to girl, Eric lifted under the arm to make Elizabeth pull itself, walked toward the banquet hall. 电梯门打开的提示音把艾瑞克从沉思中拉回现实,对身旁的女郎笑了笑,艾瑞克抬了下手臂让伊丽莎白挽住自己,向宴会厅走去。 This matter, definitely needs to calculate in detail. 这件事情,肯定还是需要详细盘算一下。 However, forthcoming Easter, could becomes the good opportunity of attacking Time Warner interior row of article departments. 不过,即将到来的复活节,或许能够成为打击时代华纳内部列文一系的好机会。 After all, although cannot cooperate with Firefly, result that the basic reason or the Time Warner internal struggle cause. But the decision-making is in unfavorable situation this hat, certainly must detain on the head biggest that person, Richard Parsons takes the direct head in Warner Bros. Corporation, without doubt is the best taking the rap candidate. 毕竟,虽然没能与萤火虫合作,根本原因还是时代华纳内部斗争导致的结果。但决策失利这顶帽子,肯定还是要扣到脑袋最大的那个人身上,理查德・帕森斯作为华纳兄弟公司的直接负责人,无疑就是最好的背黑锅人选。 Naturally, must achieve this goal, but also needs a very important premise, that is the Firefly system ‚Easter movie meal’ the Box Office result can obvious Time Warner «City of Angel». 当然,要达成这一目的,还需要一个很重要的前提,那就是萤火虫体系的‘复活节电影套餐’票房成绩能够明显过时代华纳的《天使之城》。 Thinks of here, Eric could not bear swung regrettably, although the propagandas of three companies to three movies spared no effort, but «Austin Powers 2», were «Species» or «The Wedding Singer», Eric, although did not remember the Box Office data of three movies, potential that but they greatly have not exploded obviously. 想到这里,艾瑞克就又忍不住遗憾地摇了下头,虽然三家公司对三部影片的宣传可谓不遗余力,但无论是《王牌大贱谍2》,还是《异种》或者《婚礼歌手》,艾瑞克虽然并不记得三部电影的票房数据,但它们也明显都没有大爆的潜质。 It seems like can only try to find other solutions. 看来只能想其他办法了。 Refused to go to the media area to accept photograph and interview, Eric brings Elizabeth directly to enter the banquet hall. What Eric they come is quite late, therefore, in the banquet hall the present has been fully occupied, naturally has one to treat with courtesy unavoidably. 拒绝了去媒体区接受拍照和采访,艾瑞克带着伊丽莎白直接进入了宴会厅。艾瑞克两人来的算是比较晚的,因此,宴会厅内现在已经是人满为患,自然有免不了一场应酬。 However, Eric and Elizabeth are not hosts, but greeted the guest who one batch have approached to meet face to face, they walked toward Weinstein Brothers of approach. 不过,艾瑞克和伊丽莎白也不是东道主,只是招呼了一批主动上前打照面的宾客,两人就朝迎上来的韦恩斯坦兄弟走去。 „Eric, gives you to introduce that several people,” have greeted, Harvey Weinstein does not forget to seize every opportunity, 11 gave Eric to recommend his side several people. “艾瑞克,给你介绍几个人,”打过招呼,哈维・韦恩斯坦也不忘见缝插针,11给艾瑞克引荐了他身边的几个人。 Mainly «United Kingdom Patient» and hosts of «Mind Backstop» two movies create, «United Kingdom Patient» Director Anthony Minguela, actor Ralph Ins, two Heroine Christine Scott Thomas and Juliet Binoche, «Mind Backstop» here motor pamphlet good base friend. 主要还是《英国病人》和《心灵捕手》两部电影的主创,《英国病人》的导演安东尼・明格拉,男主角拉尔夫・费因斯,两位女主角克里斯汀・斯科特・托马斯和朱丽叶・比诺什,还有《心灵捕手》这边的马达小本好基友。 Eric to these people naturally is very familiar, but the majority is also only first meeting. 艾瑞克对这些人自然是非常熟悉的,但大部分也都只是第一次见面。 Everybody chatted one, these people naturally are skilled in suavely, realized that Eric and some Harvey probably proper business must discuss, quickly respectively diverges. 大家聊了一阵,这些人自然都精于世故,意识到艾瑞克和哈维或许有正事要谈,都很快各自散去。 When the people leave, Elizabeth also runs and boudoir honey of appearance greets, Eric has drunk red wine in hand, does not have urgently to chat the m TV Station matter, spoke thoughtlessly to ask: „Harvey, arrangement of «Horse Language» how?” 等众人都离开,伊丽莎白也跑去和一个到场的闺蜜打招呼,艾瑞克喝了一口手中的红酒,也没有急着聊起m电视台的事情,随口问道:“哈维,《马语者》的筹备怎么样了？” Hears Eric to bring up this topic, Harvey expression many are somewhat unusual. 听到艾瑞克提起这个话题,哈维的表情多少有些异样。 Elizabeth had discussed with him Fox opened the artistic film not to get the strategy of 50 million USD budget regarding Miramax. 伊丽莎白已经和他谈过了福克斯对于米拉麦克斯开艺术片不得过5ooo万美元预算的策略。 In bone as a merchant, although also approves this mentality at heart, but Harvey to this decision some contradictions, after all, Miramax for these years the profit contribution to Fox almost occupied its Film Industry service unavoidably half, in his heart naturally also exists to continue the Miramax show strong thought. 骨子里作为一个商人,虽然心里也认可这种思路,但哈维难免还是对这一决定有些抵触,毕竟,米拉麦克斯这几年对福克斯的利润贡献几乎占到其电影业务的一半,他心中自然也存在继续将米拉麦克斯展壮大的念头。 „Robert holds the post of Director and actor personally, Heroine has decided that was just Christine. Other roles were carrying on the screen test recently, it is expected that in May can begin shooting.” “罗伯特亲自担任导演和男主角,还有,女主角已经定下来了,就是刚刚的克里斯汀。其他角色最近正在进行试镜,预计五月份就能开拍。” male & female leads has not changed, remembered few days ago that time met by chance, the Eric corners of the mouth showed the smile, but does not know that daughter's role can also be Scarlet Johnson. He has not planned to mix this matter, immediately chatted the m TV Station next show strategy with Harvey. 男女主角都没有变,想起前些日子的那次偶遇,艾瑞克嘴角露出微笑,只是不知道女儿的角色还会不会是斯嘉丽・约翰逊。他也没打算掺和这件事,随即与哈维聊起了m电视台的下一步展策略。 However, although Eric does not plan to mix the «Horse Language» electing corner/horn, but always cannot block the matter to walk on own initiative. 不过,虽然艾瑞克不打算掺和《马语者》的选角,但也总是挡不住事情会主动找上门。 Next afternoon, Firefly cinema city. 第二天下午,萤火虫影城。 Although in shoots «Iron Man», Eric had not stopped actually to the arrangement of «Gravity», he and «Gravity» two lead Jodie Foster and George Clooney has actually had the communication these days. 虽然在拍摄《钢铁侠》,艾瑞克其实一直都没有停止对《地心引力》的筹备,他和《地心引力》的两位主角朱迪・福斯特和乔治・克鲁尼这段时间其实一直都有沟通。 In the evening must attend the Oscar presentation ceremony, exactly, this institute lets Jodie Foster and Eric hold the post of the best script presenting guest of honor together, they have bumped surface ahead of time, in the afternoon together arrives in the Firefly cinema city «Gravity» movie studio discusses the shoots detail of movie. 晚上要参加奥斯卡颁奖典礼,恰好,这次学院让朱迪・福斯特和艾瑞克一起担任最佳剧本的颁奖嘉宾,两人提前碰了一次面,下午就一起来到萤火虫影城《地心引力》摄影棚内讨论影片的拍摄细节。 «Batman And Robin that» Box Office disastrous defeat last year participated performance, George Clooney to this time participated performance the «Gravity» opportunity exceptionally attaches great importance, hears the news also similarly to catch up. 去年参演的《蝙蝠侠与罗宾》票房惨败,乔治・克鲁尼对这次参演《地心引力》的机会异常重视,听到消息也同样赶了过来。 Three people are studying the shoots technique of beginning long shot photo in the movie studio, Eric saw that Melanie came to say Miranda, but the son led a friend to come the Firefly cinema city. 三人正在摄影棚内研究开场长镜头的拍摄手法,艾瑞克就看到梅兰妮进来说米兰达・可儿带着一个朋友来萤火虫影城了。 Greeted to Jodie and George, Eric leaves the movie studio, looks Miranda that throws, but the son as well as follows in her Scarlet Johnson, Eric puts out a hand to resist the small body of this girl, kept a serious look said: „Nà, explained to me first, what day today is, don't you need to go to school?” 向朱迪和乔治打了声招呼,艾瑞克离开摄影棚,看着扑过来的米兰达・可儿以及跟在她身边的斯嘉丽・约翰逊,艾瑞克伸手抵住这妮子的小身子,表情严肃道:“呐,先给我解释一下,今天是星期几,难道你不需要上学吗？” „Today the screen test that attended a movie, I accompanied her to ask for leave together,” Miranda not timid Eric did intentionally the serious expression, entangled the winding to circle has held in the arms his arm, said grinningly: „Moreover, do not think that I do not know Oh, initially Drew frequently played hooky, you have not managed.” “斯嘉今天参加一部电影的试镜呢,我就陪她一起请假了,”米兰达丝毫不怯艾瑞克故作严肃的表情,缠缠绕绕地就搂住了他的胳膊,笑嘻嘻道:“而且,别以为我不知道哦,当初德鲁就经常逃学,你也没管过。” Eric shakes the head reluctantly, oneself also are really not qualified ‚guardian’, plays hooky this matter regarding the child, does not have any too profound feeling completely. 艾瑞克无奈地摇摇头,自己还真不是什么合格的‘家长’,对于孩子逃学这种事情,完全没什么太深刻的感觉。 Has not led two girls to enter the «Gravity» movie studio, Eric has referred to the direction of administrative area, walks in the cinema city office toward oneself, said: „Comes with me, first said that at this time ran to do?” 没有带两个女孩进《地心引力》摄影棚,艾瑞克指了指行政区的方向,朝自己在影城的办公室走去,道:“跟我来吧,先说说,这个时候跑来干什么？” Miranda, but the son looks at constrained Scarlet who an expression has disguised the clever girl Johnson, hugged the arm of Eric to shake shaking, said: „Eric, is this, can you help and Mr. Weinstein greet, she wants the role in that «Horse Language» very much.” 米兰达・可儿看了眼表情拘束假装乖女孩的斯嘉丽・约翰逊,搂着艾瑞克的手臂晃了晃,道:“艾瑞克,是这样的,你能不能帮斯嘉和韦恩斯坦先生打声招呼,她很想要那部《马语者》里的角色。” Eric knit the brows, looks to Scarlet Johnson, does not know that who this matter is raises: „Who helps your screen test, is the effect what kind of?” 艾瑞克皱了皱眉,看向斯嘉丽・约翰逊,不知道这件事到底是谁提出来的:“谁帮你试镜的,效果怎么样？” „Today is the screen test that Mr. Weinstein and Mr. Redford they personally manage, they, um, said that my performance is very outstanding.” “今天是韦恩斯坦先生和雷德福先生他们亲自主持的试镜,他们,嗯,说我的表现很出色。” Eric pursues asks: „Other people, but also who participates in the screen test?” 艾瑞克追问道:“其他人呢,还有谁参加试镜的？” „, Other I too had not known that” Scarlet Johnson shook the head, said: „But, one is Kirsten Dunst, she several years ago takes the Golden Globe Award supporting actress to nominate.” “还有,其他我不太认识,”斯嘉丽・约翰逊摇了摇头,道:“不过,有一个是克尔斯滕・邓斯特,她几年前拿过金球奖女配角提名。” Eric nods, has understood aspect approximately. 艾瑞克点点头,大致了解了局面。 According to the Harvey movie-making mentality, he will favor performing skill more splendid Kirsten obviously Dunst, in this case, Scarlet Johnson wants to attain this role the possibility is very low again. 按照哈维的制片思路,他显然会更加倾向于演技更加出色的克尔斯滕・邓斯特,这样的话,斯嘉丽・约翰逊再想拿到这个角色的可能性就很低了。 Eric has not said anything again, leading two girls to come to oneself office, making the secretary make several coffee, then depended on the desk following leather chair, pondered gazes at opposite two to start the cautious girl under his sizing up gradually. 艾瑞克没有再说什么,带着两个女孩来到自己办公室,让秘书冲了几杯咖啡,然后靠在办公桌后面的皮椅上,玩味地注视着对面两个在他的打量下逐渐开始拘谨的女孩。 Eric very much has tolerated to woman, but this toleration also absolutely has the bottom line. 艾瑞克对身边的女人一直都是很纵容的,但这种纵容也绝对不是没有底线。 The women, Eric most favors naturally is Drew, although said somewhat improper, but he also basically this girl, when the daughter treats, is good because , the girl is also intelligent enough, knows that anything should make anything should not do, but the present Miranda apparently did not have intelligently to this situation. One can give this girl all her wish all, but this does not mean that he will endure demanding everything that this girl does not control. 女人当中,艾瑞克最宠的自然是德鲁,虽然说起来有些不妥,但他也基本上把这丫头当女儿对待,好在,丫头也足够聪明,知道什么该做什么不该做,但眼前的米兰达显然还没有聪明到这种地步。自己给得起这妮子她所有想要的一切,但这并不意味着他会忍受这妮子毫无节制的予取予求。 If not knew Scarlet Johnson, Miranda this second-rate therefore leads a completely strange person to him in front, as for was used, Eric is also disinclined to go into seriously, but he actually did not plan, whatever these matters continue the show to get down. 如果不是自己原本就认识斯嘉丽・约翰逊,米兰达这次等于是将一个完全陌生的人带到他面前,至于到底是不是被利用,艾瑞克也懒得深究,但他却不打算任由这些事情继续展下去。 The finger knocked several on the tabletop, Eric has looked up to Miranda, but son: „Therefore, what interest you now probably also to going to school, have not thought, what makes?” 手指在桌面上敲了几下,艾瑞克抬头看向米兰达・可儿:“所以,你现在大概也对上学没什么兴趣了,想过以后做什么吗？” Scarlet Johnson has been paying attention to the Eric expression, listening to him such to ask that glanced eye Miranda secretly. 斯嘉丽・约翰逊一直关注着艾瑞克的表情,听他这么问,偷偷瞟了眼身旁的米兰达。 Miranda, but the son also felt on the Eric unusual mood, this time actually very intelligent say|way: „Eric, you make me make anything, I make anything.”( To be continued.) 米兰达・可儿也感受到了艾瑞克身上的异样情绪,这次倒是很聪明道:“艾瑞克,你让我做什么,我就做什么。”(未完待续。) : Visit website :访问网站
