The last big manufacture movie of the end of May is gold/metal «Chu Men World» that Kerry acts the leading role, and is distributed by the Paramount Pictures manufacture. Then is Firefly Pictures «The Day After Tomorrow», therefore, Eric to gold/metal movie quite pays attention. 五月底的最后一部大制作影片是金・凯瑞主演的《楚门的世界》,由派拉蒙影业制作和发行。接下来就将是萤火虫影业的《后天》,因此,艾瑞克对金・瑞凯的这部影片颇为关注。 Although has the failure of «Cable TV Repairman», in recent years, gold/metal Kerry steadily sits in Hollywood in a position, even if deviation literary arts «Chu Men World», gold/metal Kerry has attained a 12 million USD salary as before, because this high salary scratch coat, «Chu Men World» was also piled a big manufacture of 60 million USD cost. 虽然有着《有线电视修理工》的失败,最近几年,金・凯瑞在好莱坞还是稳稳坐在一线的位置上,即使是偏向文艺的《楚门的世界》,金・凯瑞依旧拿到了1200万美元的一线片酬,由于这种高片酬打底,《楚门的世界》也被堆成了一部6000万美元成本的大制作。 On Monday, flies to the New York airplane. 周一,飞往纽约的飞机上。 Eric relaxes sits, in the porthole was reading the last weekend Box Office report in hand. 艾瑞克放松地坐在舷窗边看着手中的上周末票房报告。 «Chu Men World» weekend three days of Box Office 3119 ten thousand USD, «Patriot» performance with beforehand two weeks of «Lethal Weapon 4» and quite, it is expected that first week Box Office similarly in 50 million USD about. 《楚门的世界》首周末三天票房3119万美元,与之前两周的《致命武器4》和《爱国者》表现相当,预计首周票房同样在5000万美元左右。 So long as can maintain a good Box Office curve, Paramount can slightly gain one. As for other «Lethal Weapon 4» and «Patriot», «The Day After Tomorrow» that because the single week average 40% high and low decline ranges, will soon have screened to this Friday cannot pose any threat. 只要能保持一个不错的票房曲线,派拉蒙还是能够小赚一笔。至于另外《致命武器4》和《爱国者》,由于单周平均40%上下的跌幅,已经对本周五即将上映的《后天》形不成任何威胁。 «The Day After Tomorrow» of update by Michael directs, Eric had already looked Large expanse, because is script that he writes personally, with Roland compared with the Emmerich edition, the update no longer looks like original to be so dilatory in plot . Moreover, pays great attention to the visual feeling explodes Bei Jiang the entire North America bitter experience frozen picture to pat has shock. In addition this is Firefly Group this summer the files only heavy case bomb, has centralized the company majority of marketing resources, no one suspected that this special effect big piece will become the exploding funds of ignition entire summer files. 新版的《后天》由迈克尔・贝执导,艾瑞克早就看过成片,由于是他亲自写的剧本,与罗兰・艾默里奇版本相比,新版在剧情方面不再像原版那么拖沓,而且,注重视觉感受的爆炸贝将整个北美遭遇冰封的画面拍的更具震撼性。再加上这是萤火虫集团今年暑期档唯一一部重磅炸弹,集中了公司大部分营销资源,谁也不怀疑,这部特效大片会成为点燃整个暑期档的爆款。 Boeing 767 that 4 : 00 pm, Eric takes lands on Long Island central MacArthur Airport, as usual Carolyn and Meyer sends Manhattan, Eric to hurry to Eath Hampton. He plans to treat two weeks of time in New York, one week is used to handle the official business, one week accompanies the women and children. 下午四点,艾瑞克乘坐的波音767降落在长岛中部的麦克阿瑟机场,照例将卡洛琳和梅耶尔打发到曼哈顿,艾瑞克则赶去东汉普顿。他计划在纽约待两周时间,一周用来处理公事,一周陪女人和孩子们。 However, although wants to rest first, but next day, Chris in a hurry has caught up from Manhattan. 不过,虽然想要先休息一下,但第二天,克里斯就匆匆从曼哈顿赶了过来。 In the morning, in the lawn of manor, the weather is good today. 上午,庄园的草坪上,今天天气还算不错。 Chris arrives at the backyard lawn under the influence of Joanna, saw that Eric is leading three children to make the insect specimen, the enthusiasm that Kevin and Emma play, Hawaii is obviously absent-minded. Saw that mother brings Chris to come, Hawaii sets out immediately, greeted sweetly: „Good morning, Uncle Chris, do you want to discuss the matter with Papa?” 克里斯在乔安娜的引领下来到后院草坪,就看到艾瑞克正带着三个孩子在做昆虫标本,凯文和爱玛玩的兴致勃勃,夏威夷明显心不在焉。看到母亲带着克里斯过来,夏威夷立刻起身,甜甜地打招呼:“上午好,克里斯叔叔,你要和爸爸谈事情吗？” The young misses are shining the eye, spoke frankly ‚Uncle Chris on difference you quickly my Papa carried off’ and so on words. 小姑娘忽闪着眼睛,就差直说‘克里斯叔叔你快把我爸爸带走吧’之类的话。 On the Chris face is having the smile, shakes the head seriously: „No, I am accompany you to make the insect specimen together.” 克里斯脸上带着微笑,一本正经地摇头:“不,我是过来陪你们一起做昆虫标本的。” Hears this reply, Hawaii knit the brows, is very worried, how these Sirs can bored to this degree, what is more hateful, but must draw in itself. 听到这个回答,夏威夷皱了皱眉,很是苦恼,这些大人怎么能无聊到这种程度,更可恶的是,还非要拉上自己。 Eric puts down the tool in hand, set out to hug with Chris, said to Joanna: „Joan, you accompany them to play.” 艾瑞克放下手中的工具,起身与克里斯拥抱了下,对乔安娜道:“琼,你陪他们玩吧。” Joanna nods, looks that Eric and Chris leave, sat down in Eric just position, favors to drown traces not the law-abiding daughter, said: „Xiaxia, you have complied with Mama, must be together with Papa well, always do not display is so impatient.” 乔安娜点点头,看着艾瑞克和克里斯离开,才在艾瑞克刚刚的位置上坐下,宠溺地摸了摸不安分的女儿,道:“夏夏,你答应过妈妈的,要和爸爸好好相处,不要总是表现的这么不耐烦。” „But, Mama, these matters may really be bored, can I go back to read now?” “可是,妈妈,这些事情可真是无聊呢,我现在可以回去看书了吗？” Joanna shakes the head, said: „Not, I and have greeted, she will not come to help you attend class this week, your books I also received, Oh, Steve delivered your small keyboard. You have frightened your Papa, therefore, at least this week, obedient.” 乔安娜摇摇头,道:“不可以,我和曼妮打过招呼,她这个星期都不会过来帮你上课了,你的那些书本我也收起来了,哦,还有史蒂夫送你的小键盘。你已经把你爸爸吓到了,所以,至少这一周,乖乖的。” „Wú.” “唔。” Just reached five years old to have the fine little girl of double attractive big eye worriedly snort|hum the sound, lay in reluctantly fully is on the tabletop of manual stage prop, suddenly felt the life to be senseless. 刚满五岁有着双漂亮大眼睛的精致小女孩苦恼地哼了声,懒懒地趴在满是手工道具的桌面上,顿觉人生无趣。 Another side, Chris follows Eric to return to the villa living room together, sits down in the sofa, with a smile asked: „This time comes back to have is surprised once more?” 另一边,克里斯跟随艾瑞克一起回到别墅客厅,在沙发坐下,就笑着问道:“这次回来有没有再次大吃一惊？” „If you are refer to noticing that a five -year-old little girl is holding with great interest, Eric that «Differential topology» read” shrugged, is smiling bitterly the nod: „Truly so, if not Xiaxia that tutor to me explained that anything is the differential topology, I do not know own daughter was reading anything. Although, good, even if she explained that I do not know that now that is anything.” “如果你是指看到一个五岁的小女孩捧着一本《微分拓扑学》读的津津有味的话,”艾瑞克耸耸肩,苦笑着点头:“确实如此,如果不是夏夏的那个家庭教师给我解释什么是微分拓扑学,我根本就不知道自己女儿在读什么。虽然,好吧,就算她解释了,我现在还是不知道那是什么。” „Haha,” Chris could not bear smile, after a while, said: „After real anticipation sees Xiaxia to grow up the appearance. Un, perhaps I should make Daniel many be together with Xiaxia now, in the future is good to marry the going home time wife.” “哈哈,”克里斯忍不住笑了起来,过了一会儿,才说道:“真期待看到夏夏长大后的样子。嗯,或许我现在就该让丹尼尔多和夏夏相处,将来好娶回家当儿媳妇。” Eric still reluctantly smiled, he anticipated certainly that his child can be intelligent, but now somewhat is seemingly excessive. 艾瑞克依然无奈地笑了笑,他当然期待自己的孩子能够非常聪明,但现在貌似有些过头了。 Chatted several, they changed the subject quickly. 谈笑几句,两人很快就转向了正题。 „Is counted our owning stocks originally, in the first half of the year the buying up of Firefly investment and clover fund, we have the proportion of AOL stock now altogether are 35.7%, at present the AOL circulation stock basically has been swept by the major investment fund cleanly, our ownership percentages are impossible to increase again. These days, I have been contacting with AOL other shareholders, but the result cannot be good. Steve the result that Kyes makes is obvious to all, the majority of shareholders favor the development strategy of existing management.” “算上我们原本的持股,上半年萤火虫投资、三叶草基金的买进,我们现在持有美国在线股份的比例一共是35.7%,目前美国在线的流通股基本上已经被各大投资基金扫干净了,我们的持股比例不可能再增加。这段时间,我一直在和美国在线的其他股东联系,但结果并不能算是太好。史蒂夫・凯斯做出的成绩是有目共睹的,大部分股东都更加倾向于现有管理层的发展策略。” From the establishment, AOL on has been financing to various types of investment companies, until initially the Firefly investment join, the AOL share was basically stabilized. The present situation is, including Steve AOL stock sum total that Kyes AOL management, has already less than 10%, except for Firefly this major stockholder, other stockholder's rights centralized in major investment fund hands. 从成立开始,美国在线就一直在向各种投资公司进行融资,直到当初萤火虫投资入局,美国在线的股权结构才算基本稳定下来。现在的情况是,包括史蒂夫・凯斯在内的美国在线管理层,持有的美国在线股份合计已经不到10%,除了萤火虫这个大股东,其他股权都集中在各大投资基金手中。 According to yesterday's closing price, the AOL current market value has achieved 39 600 million USD, compared with the beginning of the year, the market value increased 1.77 times. In other words, now AOL every 1% stock, value on close 400 million USD, even if the major investment fund are willing to continue to transfer the AOL stock, Firefly is impossible to take enough fund to buy up again on a large scale. 按照昨天的收盘价,美国在线目前的市值已经达到396亿美元,与年初相比,市值增加了1.77倍。也就是说,现在美国在线每1的股份,价值就接近4亿美元,即使各大投资基金愿意继续转让美国在线的股份,萤火虫也不可能再拿出足够的资金大举买入。 The finger is rapping on the sofa arm rest gently, Eric has considered a while, asked: „If we lay cards on the table now, how many captures the AOL domination the possibility is?” 手指轻轻在沙发扶手上敲击着,艾瑞克考虑了一会儿,问道:“如果我们现在摊牌,夺取美国在线控制权的可能性是多少？” Chris thinks that said: „50%, currently had AOL to annex the Time Warner rumor to spread, if the news confirmed that the possibilities of here unfavorable situation are bigger, many people are glad to see AOL to annex Time Warner.” 克里斯想了想,说道:“50%吧,现在已经有美国在线兼并时代华纳的风声传出,如果消息确认,我们这边的失利的可能性更大一些,很多人都是非常乐意看到美国在线兼并时代华纳。” Although is the AOL first major stockholder, is having 35.7% stockholder's rights, but, in a AOL situation excellent situation, Firefly wants to initiate the shareholder vote, will have the management to chase off the stage, the possibility of failure is truly big. Because the AOL majority of shareholders are the institutional investors . Moreover the quantity are not many, wants to twist a rope to revolt against Firefly to invest this major stockholder, is easy. 虽然是美国在线的第一大股东,掌握着35.7%的股权,不过,在美国在线形势一片大好的情况下,萤火虫想要发起股东投票,将现有管理层赶下台,失败的可能性确实很大。因为美国在线大部分股东都是机构投资者,而且数量并不算多,想要拧起一股绳来反抗萤火虫投资这个大股东,也非常容易。 Naturally, Firefly also has own Assassin's mace, that with underselling the way of stock threatens other east stations oneself. AOL stock that the Firefly system has, once undersells on a large scale, pounds to crash the AOL stock price sufficiently. 当然,萤火虫也不是没有自己的杀手锏,那就是用抛售股票的方式威胁其他股东站在自己这边。萤火虫体系持有的美国在线股票,一旦大举抛售,足以将美国在线的股价砸到崩盘。 However, Eric is will not use this method unless it is absolutely essential absolutely, such does to anybody does not have the advantage, even likely the chain-react, triggers the fluctuations of entire NASDAQ market. 不过,不到万不得已,艾瑞克是绝对不会用这种方法的,这么做对任何人都没有好处,甚至可能产生连锁反应,引起整个纳斯达克市场的震荡。 The NASDAQ index approached 2000 points now, this looked like as if leaves once 5000 top digits is very far, but in fact, this stock index has filled the bubble ingredient. 纳斯达克指数现在已经接近2000点,这看起来似乎离曾经的5000点高位还有很远,但实际上,这一股票指数已经充满了泡沫成分。 With NASDAQ market most typical Microsoft, in 1995, the NASDAQ index maintained, when about 1000 : 00, Microsoft market value only then more than 40 billion USD, but now, the NASDAQ index rises to 2000 points, the Microsoft recent market value broke through 250 billion, compared for three years ago rose suddenly more than six times. 就拿纳斯达克市场最具代表性的微软来说,1995年,纳斯达克指数维持在1000点左右的时候,微软的市值只有400多亿美元,但现在,纳斯达克指数涨到2000点,微软最近的市值已经突破2500亿,相比三年前暴涨了六倍多。 If Firefly investment to let the AOL shareholder submits, pounds the plate AOL stock. As the lead star stock of NASDAQ market, Eric was worried very much the AOL stock price falls becomes the blasting fuse that the entire NASDAQ market crashes ahead of time, once so, that Firefly must face possibly was being hostile to of entire Wall Street. 如果萤火虫投资为了让美国在线股东屈服,真的砸盘美国在线股票。作为纳斯达克市场的领头明星股,艾瑞克很担心美国在线股价下跌会成为整个纳斯达克市场提前崩盘的导火索,一旦如此,那萤火虫要面临的可能就是整个华尔街的敌视了。 Why as for insisted that makes AOL take the Network Service Provider development route, Eric had discussed with Chris in detail. 至于为何坚持让美国在线走网络服务提供商的发展路线,艾瑞克已经详细和克里斯讨论过。 The AOL subscriber grows in recent years is rapid, it is expected that to 2000 around, the AOL wide band installment user will achieve 20 million, this data goes far beyond AT-T, Verizon and other traditional network service operators. 美国在线的用户数量最近几年增长非常迅速,预计到2000年前后,美国在线的宽带安装用户将达到2000万,这一数据远远超过AT-T、Verizon等几家传统的网络服务运营商。 Therefore , the Internet foundation service is the AOL basis. So long as can have the 20 million user, according to each month 30 USD average fees standards, these users is AOL will bring 7 200 million USD stable earnings every year. 所以说,互联网基础服务才是美国在线的根本。只要能够拥有2000万用户,按照每月30美元的平均资费标准来说,这些用户每年就将为美国在线带来72亿美元的稳定营收。 Under this excellent situation, if can go a step further, annexes a traditional telecom operator, further strengthens own field status, and develops other foundation services, even if the Internet bubble will burst in the future, AOL can also sit quietly Diaoyutai. 这种大好局面下,如果能够更进一步,吞并一家传统的电信运营商,进一步巩固自身的业界地位,并拓展其他基础服务业务,即使将来互联网泡沫破裂,美国在线也可以稳坐钓鱼台。 However, according to Steve Kyes's development idea, builds the United States biggest Internet media giant AOL, this is equal to completely in the sacrificethesubstance for the shadow. 但是,按照史蒂夫・凯斯的发展思路,将美国在线打造成美国最大的互联网传媒巨头,这等于完全是在舍本逐末。 Once history has also proven this point, when the Internet bubble burst, the Internet media empire bubble that AOL piled up unravelled rapidly. Various human affairs and financial crises and interior that the bubble burst brings regarding foundation network service does not take seriously as well as joint strangling to death of several big traditional giants, the AOL 20 million network users also rapidly flows to several other. Finally, when Time Warner AOL sells once more, this maximum market value achieves 180 billion USD Internet giants, sells into servitude the price on only remaining pitiful 40 hundred million USD. 曾经的历史也证明了这一点,当互联网泡沫破裂,美国在线堆积起来的互联网传媒帝国泡影迅速灰飞烟灭。泡沫破裂带来的各种人事和财务危机、内部对于基础网络服务的不重视以及几大传统巨头的联合绞杀,美国在线的20000000网络用户也迅速流向其他几家。最终,当时代华纳将美国在线再次卖出时,这家最高市值达到1800亿美元的互联网巨头,卖身价格就只剩下可怜的40多亿美元。 Actually, Eric thought that once that transaction, the AOL shareholder was very lucky, they when this stock price peak, transformed ‚AOL Time Warner’ the stock in hand stock, therefore, when AOL vanished into thin air, they were having actually also the Time Warner stock, was insufficient to be penniless. As for the original Time Warner shareholder, hehe. 其实,艾瑞克觉得,曾经的那次交易,美国在线的股东还是非常幸运的,他们在这家公司股价最高点时,将手中的股票转换成了‘美国在线-时代华纳’的股票,因此,当美国在线烟消云散,他们其实还拥有着时代华纳的股份,不至于两手空空。至于原时代华纳的股东,呵呵。 Then, if this time AOL purchases the transaction of Time Warner still to achieve, the proportion of even if according to 55 opening, when the time comes, owning stocks of Firefly investment to Time Warner will approach 18%, this also absolutely is new ‚AOL Time Warner’ the first major stockholder, conforms to Eric similarly to the ambition that entire Hollywood expands. 说起来,这一次如果美国在线收购时代华纳的交易依然能够达成,哪怕按照55开的比例,到时候,萤火虫投资对时代华纳的持股将接近18%,这也绝对是新的‘美国在线-时代华纳’的第一大股东,同样也符合艾瑞克向整个好莱坞扩张的野心。 However, abandons into the opportunity of United States first Internet service provider, received exchange for the Time Warner group 18% stocks, saw that absolutely is the business that owes greatly, Eric in any event does not want to see this expansion. 不过,抛弃成为美国第一大互联网服务提供商的机会,换取时代华纳集团18%的股份,怎么看都绝对是一笔大亏的生意,艾瑞克无论如何都不想看到这种扩张。 „50% 50%,” finally, Eric said: „That side Time Warner already very frequently with the AOL high-level contact, therefore, we must put out to make a decision as soon as possible, cannot such delay.” “50%就50%吧,”最后,艾瑞克说道:“时代华纳那边已经非常频繁地在和美国在线高层接触,所以,我们必须尽快拿出决断出来,不能这么拖延下去。” Chris nods, said: „, Eric, succeeded was very no doubt good, but, if were defeated, how you did plan to do?” 克里斯点点头,又道:“那么,艾瑞克,成功了固然很好,不过,如果失败了,你打算怎么做？” Eric this time does not have to be too scruple actually, said: „If failed, we from now on gradually will withdraw, can sell out many stocks to sell out many.” 艾瑞克这次倒是没有太多迟疑,道:“如果失败,那我们就从现在开始逐渐退出,能卖掉多少股票就卖掉多少。” Chris naturally knows that the meaning of Eric, the NASDAQ market sooner or later has one day of crashing, once the stock market crashes, AOL these NASDAQ market star stocks definitely bear the brunt. Firefly can only before this date arrives, sells more stock leverage fund as far as possible. 克里斯自然知道艾瑞克的意思,纳斯达克市场迟早有崩盘的一天,一旦股市崩盘,美国在线这些纳斯达克市场明星股肯定首当其冲。萤火虫只能在这个日期到来之前,尽可能地卖出更多股票套现资金。 As for becoming in the future new AOL Time Warner shareholder, Eric is not interested. 至于成为将来新的美国在线-时代华纳的股东,艾瑞克是一点都不感兴趣。 Once the NASDAQ market crashes, Time Warner thoroughly becomes a rotten mire. Even if calculates according to 50 billion USD the Time Warner market value, attains 18% stocks, the value is also only 9 billion USD. Even if now, the Firefly system to the value that AOL 35.7% own stocks, has gone far beyond this digit. Let alone, 18% stocks, is not enough to capture the Time Warner domination. 一旦纳斯达克市场崩盘,时代华纳就彻底成为一个烂泥潭。就算把时代华纳的市值按照500亿美元来计算,拿到18%的股份,价值也就只有90亿美元。哪怕是现在,萤火虫体系对美国在线35.7%持股的价值,就已经远远超过了这个数字。更何况,18%的股份,也不足以夺取时代华纳的控制权。 They unknowingly chatted morning time, has the lunch, Chris hastily has left, starts to prepare for the plan laying cards on the table of end of this month, when the time comes, Eric also will again possibly catch up with New York. 两人不知不觉聊了一上午时间,吃过午餐,克里斯就匆匆离开,开始为计划在这个月月底的摊牌做准备,到时候,艾瑞克可能还会再赶来纽约。 Eric treats, when Eath Hampton prevents oneself daughter cloud to become a ghost, one week of working day quickly in the past. 艾瑞克待在东汉普顿阻止自家女儿化云成精的时候,一周的工作日很快过去。 On June 5, on Friday, this summer files first part special effect big piece «The Day After Tomorrow» also got online in the North America 3370 screens officially. 6月5日,周五,今年暑期档第一部特效大片《后天》正式在北美3370块荧幕同时上线。 The movie first date closed 23 500,000 USD, Eric has revised carefully script adds on Michael the visual special effect that excelled, making the movie the reputation also similarly gain across the board, the majority of media have given about 8 points appraisals, surpassed once Roland Emmerich edition. 影片首日报收2350万美元,艾瑞克精心修改过的剧本加上迈克尔・贝擅长的视觉特效,让影片的口碑也同样飘红,大部分媒体都给了8分左右的评价,远超过曾经的罗兰・艾默里奇版本。 After first date 23 500,000 USD grand openings, the movie first weekend three days take 737 50,000 USD Box Office at one fell swoop, become summer files first part cause the view shade upsurge the exploding funds movie. According to the first weekend three days of Box Office data, Michael also unsuspensefully obtaining own first part first week Box Office broken hundred million movies. 继首日2350万美元的开门红之后,影片首周末三天一举拿下7375万美元票房,成为暑期档第一部引起观影热潮的爆款影片。按照首周末三天的票房数据,迈克尔・贝也毫无悬念地将取得自己的第一部首周票房破亿影片。
