headline. 感觉这个圣诞节很美好的,不只是梅斯纳尔,《洛杉矶时报》主编怀特先生也一样,他上午时候还发愁,应该用什么样的新闻,来当作今天报纸头条。 Tonight as scheduled Victoria's secret supermodel angel walks the show to be very appealing, but other newspapers will definitely also work as the headline with it, absolutely does not have the characteristics ; President Clinton goes UN Headquarters to salute, then runs up to the news that Brazil takes vacation, at best can only place the political plate headline. 今晚如期举办的维多利亚的秘密超模天使走秀很吸引人,可其他报纸肯定也会用它当头条,完全没有特色可言;克林顿总统前去联合国总部慰问完,接着便跑到巴西度假的消息,充其量只能放在政治板块头条。 Before every year will have Christmas a time the sales upsurge, the editor writes it to write to spit quickly, changed last year article can use directly, the consumer was not definitely convinced. 至于每年都会发生一次的圣诞节前销售热潮,编辑写它都快写吐了,把去年的文章改一改就能直接用,消费者肯定不买账。

have the news to report, in addition must consider to repeat the degree, best is the exclusive report. 拿什么当报纸头条,是怀特每天都要忧虑很久的事情,他不怕战乱纷争、自然灾害,但是怕没有消息可以报道,另外还要考虑到重复程度,最好是独家新闻。 The innumerable examples

soap opera attraction audience reason, news sector immediate is not insufficient, occupied a large part of factors. 无数例子可以证明,干他们这一行的跟在别人屁股后面走,最后绝对不会有好结果,当年abc电视台之所以那么落魄,除了没有精彩的电视剧吸引观众这个原因以外,新闻版块即时度不够,也在其中占了很大一部分因素。 News Corporation is because wants to attain the heavyweight exclusive report urgently, therefore makes „interception gate that” the future created a stir event, do not look at the media group sight, actually the day does not feel better probably, the exterior competition was too fierce. 新闻集团就是因为急迫地想要拿到重量级独家新闻,所以才闹出了未来轰动一时的“窃听门”事件,别看传媒集团好像都风风光光,其实日子也不好过,外部竞争太激烈了。 The «Los Angeles Times» this year performance drops slightly, the sales volume and income compared with the same time of the year, reduced about 6%. 《洛杉矶时报》今年业绩小幅下滑,销量和收益跟往年同期相比,都减少了百分之六左右。 Editor-in-chief White cannot even attain Times this year- the stockholder's rights and cash prize of kyemon group, on the past few

怀特主编今年甚至没能拿到时报-镜报集团的股权和现金奖励,在前些天的年末董事会上,被董事会主席狠狠批评了一顿,他如今迫切希望找到一些重量级新闻,来在董事会成员心目中,证明自己的价值依然存在。 The «Los Angeles Times» quantity issued is next to «New York Times», the Washington Post, the master is mainly California Financial group, and between Morgan Financial groups also has the relations of being unable to put things clearly, he does not want to lose such good work...... 《洛杉矶时报》发行量仅次于《纽约时报》、《华盛顿邮报》,老东家主要是加利福尼亚财团,跟摩根财团之间也有说不清道不明的关系,他可不想丢掉这么好的工作…… At this moment, 2 : 00 pm ten points. 此时此刻,下午 2 点十分。 The place is located in the Los Angeles urban district gold section, close to the government the Los Angeles Times headquarters building in library and city hall, free photographer Messner just went to its front square, this building is very old, after more than 60 years of years, had not conducted the overhaul in this period, seemingly has the traces left by time. 地点位于洛杉矶市区黄金地段,靠近政府图书馆和市政厅的洛杉矶时报总部大楼,自由摄影师梅斯纳尔刚刚来到它前面的广场上,这栋大楼已经很老了,历经六十多年岁月,期间没有进行过大修,看上去带有沧桑感。 He is protecting oneself camera carefully, usually does not care about this thing, but has to care now, valued at tens of thousands US dollars, to the rich and powerful people are not anything, may to master Messner, be a great sum of money, enough went to other countries to go through an unforgettable vacation, in addition can rent a quite nice house. 他小心护着自己的照相机,平时不怎么在乎这东西,但是现在不得不在乎,价值好几万美元,对富豪们来说不算什么,可对师梅斯纳尔而言,已经是一笔巨款,足够去其他国家度过一个难忘的假期,另外还能租套比较像样的房子。 Comes on here road, he sits in the taxi considers for quite a while, now has set firm resolve, raises the price that oneself previously said. 来这里的路上,他坐在出租车里考虑半天,现在已经下定决心,提高自己先前所说的价格。 Listens to «Los Angeles Times» from the telephone edits, is eager to attain picture in the hand, Messner thinks that their values, thought aloud by far incessantly at this moment inflated saying: „Come on, you can......” 从电话里听出《洛杉矶时报》编辑,多么急切地想要拿到自己手里的照片,梅斯纳尔由此认为它们的价值远远不止如此,此刻自言自语打气说:“加油,你可以的……” ...... …… Editor-in-chief White saunters the half of the day in the office, smoked a cigar, to drink more than one cup of coffee, did not have , said oneself had explosive exclusive report that person about Han Xuan to come, cannot repress moving restlessly in innermost feelings, was called to inquire the opposite party by own assistant again, was very afraid he to sell to other newspaper offices the thing. 怀特主编在办公室转悠半天,抽了根雪茄、喝一杯多咖啡,却一直没等到说自己有关于韩宣的劲爆独家新闻的那个人前来,按耐不住内心里的躁动,让自己助手再次打了个电话询问对方,深怕他把东西卖给其他报社。 The free-lance writers attain the news, generally will relate with several companies, chooses to bid the highest buyer. 自由记者们拿到新闻,一般都会跟好几家公司进行联系,从中挑选出价最高的买方。 They are not the company staff, like this does to be fair, whenever therefore presents the flash news, various media companies will send out the public relations immediately, goes to discuss the price with the seller, strives to attain the related information. 他们并不属于公司正式员工,这样干合情合理,因此每当出现大新闻,各家传媒公司就会立马派出公关,前去跟卖家商谈价格,争取拿到相关资料。 The western nation does very well in copyright protection this aspect, if there are other media companies to try to reprint, must pay to all rights reserved side reasonable expense. 西方国家在版权保护这方面做得非常好,如果有其他传媒公司试图转载,必须支付给版权所有方合理的费用。 Important news value not poor. 重要消息价值不菲。 In Britain, the royal family member is the key point that the free-lance writers photograph surreptitiously, the dog young photographed surreptitiously Princess Diana to surpass initially for ten years, by the copyright royalty of her picture, gained 14 race cars and three villas. 在英国,王室成员是自由记者们偷拍的重点,有一位狗仔当初偷拍戴安娜王妃超过十年,靠她照片的版权费,赚到了十四辆跑车和三栋别墅。 Knew that Princess Diana the late time, the fellow cried William, Harry to be fierce at the funeral, simply might be called rending, because his source of income cut off like this. 得知戴安娜王妃去世时候,那家伙在葬礼上哭得比威廉、哈里都厉害,简直堪称撕心裂肺,因为他的财路就这样断绝了。 Now is dejected, changes professions to be the wealthy man, people often see that free-lance writer, stands before the scene of the princess former residence being in a daze, in the hand the association/will takes a camera, is called „princess most unreasoning passion protector”. 如今心灰意冷,改行做富家翁,人们时常看见那位自由记者,站在王妃故居前发呆的场面,手里总会拿着个相机,被戏称为“王妃最痴情的守护者”。 Do not think the photograph to be relaxed, competition of the free-lance writers is also very fierce, side Michael Jackson, is following dozens reporters year to year, he what happened, these reporters will rush to pat, because mostly is not the exclusive reason, therefore cannot sell the too high price. 别以为拍照轻轻松松,自由记者们的竞争也很激烈,迈克尔-杰克逊身边,常年跟随着几十位记者,他发生什么事,那些记者们都会抢着拍,因为大多不是独家的缘故,所以卖不出太高的价格。 Also there is a reporter to try with patting Han Xuan, what a pity does too well about his privacy protection, the track time will grow is warned. 也有记者试图跟拍韩宣,可惜关于他的隐私保护做得太好,跟踪时间长了就会受到警告。 Although has not been in the situation of playing rough, but the law stands side him, usually will pursue them with 50 meters ban, by the court signature ban, prohibiting them from entering in the Han Xuan surrounding 50 meters scopes, will otherwise face the imprisonment and fine of similar harassment crime. 虽然没有到动粗的地步,但法律站在他身边,通常会用五十米禁令驱逐他们,由法院签署禁令,禁止他们进入韩宣周围五十米范围以内,不然将面临类似骚扰罪的监禁和罚款。 Some really reporters therefore were sentenced for two years to imprison, at that time he prepared to photograph surreptitiously Han Xuan to go to bathroom, therefore no one sympathizes, can only laugh. 真有记者因此被判两年监禁,当时他准备偷拍韩宣上厕所,所以没人同情,只会笑话。 Even if some people still do not lose heart, should still feel especially tired, because Han Xuan often runs everywhere . Moreover the area of house universal big arrives fearfully, cannot pat anything with the long burnt lens, in addition has the bodyguard to inspect, the life is peaceful, the heavyweight news are not many, gradually no one again with patting him, wanted to attain the Han Xuan explosive news, all depending on luck...... 即使有人依然不死心,也会感觉到格外累,因为韩宣动不动就到处跑,而且房子的面积普遍大到可怕,用长焦镜头都拍不到什么,再加上有保镖巡视,日子安安稳稳,重量级新闻不多,久而久之就没人再跟拍他了,想要拿到韩宣的劲爆新闻,全凭运气…… Sits on the white sofa of hall rest area, editor-in-chief White more wants more not to feel right, the price that the opposite party demanded was too low, could not bear think that possibly is deceiving itself. 坐在大厅休息区的白色沙发上,怀特主编越想越觉得不对劲,对方索要的价钱太低,忍不住认为可能是在骗自己。 If really has Han Xuan „racial discrimination” the picture, he believes even initial price three and 4 million US dollars, will still have other competitors to snatch insanely, tries to attain this news the copyright, after his liquor , the picture that drives is inferior to this importance, but can also sell for about 500,000 US dollars lowly. 如果真有韩宣“种族歧视”的照片,他相信即使开价三、四百万美元,也会有其他竞争对手们疯抢,试图拿到这条新闻的版权,他酒后驾车的照片不如这条重要,但最低也能卖到五十万美元左右。 Feared that loses the time, to fear finally has been come to naught to like, editor-in-chief White is frowning at this moment, inquired that sat said in an opposite subordinate: „You determined that he does want 40,000 US dollars? So will be why low?” 怕耽误时间、怕最后得到一场空欢喜,怀特主编此刻皱着眉头,询问坐在对面的一位下属说:“你确定他只要四万美元吗？为什么会这么低？” „ I am not clear, but he truly is like this to I said right, knew that Messner, he will take some scenery photos to sell to our newspaper office for a long time frequently, this is the first time that tried to sell the news. “我也不清楚,但他确实是这样跟我说的没错,认识梅斯纳尔好久了,他经常会拍一些风景照卖给我们报社,这是第一次试图出售新闻。 Possibly was not clear that these news the true values, except for the expert, the layman rarely understand this aspect, let alone his head is a little insufficient, usually like the fool, waited to meet you to know. ” 可能并不清楚那些消息的真正价值吧,除了内行人,外行人很少懂这方面,何况他脑袋有点不够用,平时就像个傻瓜,等见面你就知道了。” The staff of speech, has the relativeness with editor-in-chief White, in the company no one knows, calculates goes through the motions comes. 说话的这位员工,跟怀特主编存在亲戚关系,公司里没人知道,算走后门才进来的。 Hears here, editor-in-chief White had the wishful thinking, discovered that during as if had big operating space, perhaps might seize the chance for oneself to fish one. 听到这里,怀特主编不由动起了小心思,发现当中似乎存在很大的操作空间,也许有可能趁机为自己捞一笔。 After the consideration ends, he then said: „Later your let alone words, making me come to discuss with him, again which called to ask him to......” 考虑完之后,他接着开口说:“待会儿你别说话,让我来跟他谈,再打个电话问问他到哪了……” Please remember this book first round domain name:.
