宽敞的餐厅中间是一张长长的橡木餐桌,餐桌对面是通透的落地窗,通过钢化玻璃制作的落地窗,尽可以将马里布海滩迷人的风景收入眼底,如果打开其中的小窗户,微微发咸的清凉海风,会像情人的手一样,轻轻拂过餐厅中的每一寸空间。
The both sides that severalpersonminutessit the table, are chattingunceasinglyanything, child who Sandyjumpsoccasionallysaidchildlanguage, will also cause the intermittentlaughter.
几个人分坐餐桌的两侧,不断说笑着什么,桑迪偶尔蹦出的童言童语,还会引起阵阵笑声。Does not needto look, knows that the atmosphere of banquetis very harmonious, obviouslydoes not holdforpuretreating with courtesy.
不用多看,也知道宴会的气氛十分融洽,明显不是为了单纯的应酬而举行。Sitsopposite ofRyanandNicole, isGeorge LucasandhisgirlfriendMyler? Hobson, the formerwas needless saying that but the latterwas the executive of Disney, shewas the president of DreamWorks Animation Studioanimationsection.
坐在瑞恩和妮可对面的,正是乔治?卢卡斯和他的女友麦勒迪?霍布森,前者不用多说,而后者是迪士尼的高管,她是梦工厂动画工作室动画部的主席。George LucasandMyler? Hobsonstarted the appointmentfrom 19 06, at that timemademanypeopleshock, the reasonwas very simple, Myler? Hobsonis a pureblack person, heavenshakingsound that although the slogan of anti-discriminateshouted, butHollywoodcanbe one of the racial discriminationmost seriouscircles.乔治?卢卡斯和麦勒迪?霍布森从06年就开始约会,当时让不少人大跌眼镜,原因很简单,麦勒迪?霍布森是一个纯正的黑人,虽然反对种族歧视的口号喊的震天响,但好莱坞可以算是种族歧视最严重的圈子之一。Is goodbecause ofMyler? Hobsonis not the black person of thatblack communityfamily backgroundin the traditional sense, shecomesgood, has had the higher education, family is also the mainstreammiddle class, perhapswith the blackskinBaixincoconut treepersondescribed that will be quite appropriate, otherwiseGeorge Lucasandhischildrenwill not accepther.
好在麦勒迪?霍布森不是传统意义上的那种黑人社区出身的黑人,她出身良好,接受过高等教育,本身的家庭也是主流中产阶层,或许用黑皮白心的椰子人来形容会比较合适,否则乔治?卢卡斯和他的儿女们也不会接受她。Naturally, likeWill? SmithorO'Heacoal is the same, trulyblack person who canstride in the mainstream, basicallyis the coconut treepeople.
当然,就像威尔?史密斯或者奥黑炭一样,真正能跨入主流的黑人,基本上都是椰子人。„The French cuisineis good,” did George LucaslookwithMyler who Nicolespoke? Hobson, saidtoRyan,„is very authentic.”
“法国菜不错,”乔治?卢卡斯看了看与妮可说话的麦勒迪?霍布森,对瑞恩说道,“很正宗。”„ThisisNicolespecially the chef who hiredfromParis.”
“这是妮可专门从巴黎聘请来的厨师。”Puts down the knife and fork, Ryanlifts the cuptoGeorge Lucas, „Ihave no specialhobbytogourmet.”
放下刀叉,瑞恩向乔治?卢卡斯举了举杯子,“我对美食方面没什么特殊爱好。”„Yes.”Saying of George Lucasapproval, „Hollywoodwas widely known,Ryan Jenkinsonlylikes the movie.”
“是啊。”乔治?卢卡斯赞同的说道,“好莱坞都在盛传,瑞恩?詹金斯只喜欢电影。”„Commercialmovie.”
“商业电影。”Ryanaddedoneintentionally, two peoplesmiled.瑞恩故意加了一句,两人都笑了起来。Afterlaughter, George Lucasalsosaid,„the commercial operationmakes the movie the entire worldmost importantcultural entertainmentway, was the businessmakes the Hollywoodmovieconquer the entire world.”
笑声过后,乔治?卢卡斯又说道,“正是商业运作才让电影成为全世界最重要的文化娱乐方式,也是商业才让好莱坞电影征服了全世界。”„Iapprove ofthis point.”Ryanputs down the knife and fork.
“我非常赞同这一点。”瑞恩放下刀叉。„Therefore......”George Lucasgesticulated a hand signal, „youinvestJames Camerononce again, wantsto create a moviemiracleagain?”
“所以……”乔治?卢卡斯比划了个手势,“你又一次投资詹姆斯?卡梅隆,想要再次创造一次电影奇迹?”„550 millionUS dollars,”George Lucassomewhat seems to be sigh with emotion, „takes a broad view at the entire world, daresperson who puts outthisgreat writerto investalsoonly thenyou, Ryan.”
“五亿五千万美元,”乔治?卢卡斯似乎有些感慨,“放眼全世界,敢于拿出这种大手笔投资的人也只有你了,瑞恩。”„BecauseIbelieve that Jameswill not disappointme.”Ryanhad not said,heandJames Cameronin the progress of «Titanic»onjointlymaking, is the biggestevident proof.
“因为我相信詹姆斯不会让我失望。”瑞恩并没有多说,他和詹姆斯?卡梅隆在《泰坦尼克号》上联手取得的成绩,就是最大的明证。„The investment of movieincreasesoneUS dollarevery time,”George Lucasas ifassociatedtooneself, „the pressure of investorandproducerwill increase the ten points, 550 millionUS dollarscrashedmanypeoplesufficiently.”
“电影的投资每增加一美元,”乔治?卢卡斯似乎联想到了自身,“投资人和制作人的压力就会增加十分,五亿五千万美元足以将很多人压垮。”„Aren't wehave survivedunder the pressure?”
“我们不是一直都在压力下生存吗?”Ryanseemsveryrelaxed, as if " Avatar » substantial investmenthas not madehimsustaintoomanypressures, „before moviescreens, wemustworry that the moviecanbe completedon time; When the moviescreens, wemustworry that the box officecansellgreatly;Under after moviefiles, but must be worried that the peripheralproductcannobody will ask.”瑞恩显得很轻松,似乎《阿凡达》的巨额投资并没有让他承担太多压力,“影片上映前,我们要担心影片能不能按时完成;影片上映时,我们要担心票房能不能大卖;影片下档后,还要担心周边产品会不会无人问津。”Inthiscircle, the pressure of investor is not smaller than the A-lister, Director and producer.
这个圈子中,投资者的压力并不比一线演员、导演和制作人小。„SuchpressureIundertook for 40years.” Did George Lucasas ifthinkjustwithFrancis? When Coppolastarts an undertaking the situation, „1969time, IandFrancoisjointlystarted the peep showfilm company, under the guidance ofhis, «500YearsLater», since thensidebypressureencirclement......”
“这样的压力我承担了四十年。”乔治?卢卡斯似乎想到了刚刚与弗朗西斯?科波拉创业时的情形,“1969年的时候,我与弗兰联合创立了西洋镜电影公司,在他的指导下,《五百年后》,从那时起身边就被压力环绕……”Heshakes the head, „resistsfrom the Directortime and bigmovie studio, tocooperatedwithershishijifukesiafterward, Ialwaysfelt that has a type of thingto pressin the shoulder.”
他摇了摇头,“从导演时代与大制片厂对抗,到后来与二十世纪福克斯合作,我始终感觉有种东西压在肩头。”„Perhapswas old,”George Lucasas ifa littleself-ridiculed,„could not sustain the pressure.”
“或许年龄大了,”乔治?卢卡斯似乎有点自嘲,“承担不了压力了。”„Said that youdo wantto retire?”WhatRyanusesis the tone of cracking a joke, seesGeorge Lucasslightly nodded, knits the brows saying that „George, Irememberyouseveralyears ago had saidtomeplannedto retire.”
“这么说你又想退休了?”瑞恩用的是开玩笑的语气,见到乔治?卢卡斯微微点了点头,皱眉说道,“乔治,我记得你几年前就对我说过准备退休了。”„Thistimereallymustretire.”George Lucasdoes not seem like chatting, „after me , the direct participationcommercialmovie, will no longer shift toexperimental filmmostenergy.”
“这次是真要退休了。”乔治?卢卡斯似乎不是在说笑,“我以后不再直接参与商业电影,会将大部分精力转向实验电影方面。”Theseare not as expectedRyan, heinvitedLucasoneto be a guest, because of Katherine? Kennedytherehears the news that George Lucaswantsto retire.
这些并不出瑞恩的预料,他邀请卢卡斯一家来做客,就是因为从凯瑟琳?肯尼迪那里听到了乔治?卢卡斯又想退休的消息。Ryanhas not continuedto extend the topic, butchanged tootheraspects, severalpeoplediscussedunder the Hollywoodcurrentsituation, discussed«HowturnsDreamWorks Animation Studioforthcoming « DespicableMy»andTo tameYourDragon » and other topics.瑞恩并没有将话题继续延伸下去,而是转到了其他方面,几个人讨论了下好莱坞目前的形势,又议论了一翻梦工厂动画工作室即将推出的《卑鄙的我》和《如何驯服你的龙》等话题。Afterward, NicolehugsSandy, leadsMyler? Hobsonvisitsothervillaplaces, RyanandGeorge Lucaswent to the study room.
随后,妮可抱起桑迪,带着麦勒迪?霍布森去别墅其他地方参观,瑞恩和乔治?卢卡斯则去了书房。„George, weweremanyyears of friend.”
“乔治,我们是多年的朋友了。”
The minutesitson the twosofas of study room, Ryandoes not transfer the circle, saiddirectly,„doesn't knowyoutobecoming the Disneyshareholdersinterested?”
分坐在书房的两张沙发上,瑞恩也不转圈子,直接说道,“不知道你对成为迪士尼股东有兴趣吗?”Thiswordsno onewill say that ‚no’, the development and prosperity of Disneywhodoes not know, especiallymay be called the terrifyingprofitability, the whole worldis also difficultto discover the secondprofitto be ablecompared withDisneyalsohighmedia group.
这种话没有人会说‘no’,迪士尼的发展和强盛谁不知道,特别是堪称恐怖的盈利能力,整个世界也难找出第二个盈利能比迪士尼还高的传媒集团。George Lucashad not replied,some of otherhisclearRyanwordshad not said that does‚pleasecontinue’hand signal.乔治?卢卡斯没有回答,他清楚瑞恩还有别的话没说,做了个‘请继续’的手势。„George, before”Ryandiscarded, tone that thesechatted, veryearnestasking, „, ifyouretired, howplannedto handleLucasfilm company.”
“乔治,”瑞恩扔掉了以前那些说笑的语气,非常认真的问道,“如果你退休,打算如何处置卢卡斯影业。”„Disney......”George Lucashad not repliedas before,instead asked that „Ryan, were youvery interestedtoLucasfilm company?”
“迪士尼……”乔治?卢卡斯依旧没有回答,反而问道,“瑞恩,你对卢卡斯影业很有兴趣?”„Ithinkperson who inthisworldhas no interestinLucasfilm companyare not many.”Ryanspreads out the hand saying that „, ifyouwantto sellLucasfilm company, pleasegive priority toDisney?”
“我想这个世界上对卢卡斯影业没有兴趣的人并不多。”瑞恩摊开手说道,“如果你想出售卢卡斯影业的话,请优先考虑迪士尼好吗?”Consideredprobablya halfminute, George Lucassaidslowly, „Ryan, I can only say, Itobecoming the shareholders of Disney am very interested, butyouunderstand,thisis not the matter that I alonecanpledge, Iam unable to giveyouanycommitment.”
大概考虑了半分钟,乔治?卢卡斯缓缓说道,“瑞恩,我只能这么说,我个人对成为迪士尼的股东还是很有兴趣的,但你明白,这不是我一个人可以承诺的事情,我也无法给你任何承诺。”Fromthesewords, Ryanlistened toGeorge Lucasexplicitlytrulysomeplans that soldLucasfilm company, nod, at a moderate pacesaying, „Ithink that the board of directors of Disney can definitely increase a memberagain.”
从这些话中,瑞恩明确听出了乔治?卢卡斯确实有出售卢卡斯影业的打算,点了点头,不紧不慢的说道,“我想迪士尼的董事会完全可以再增加一名成员。”Thistyperelated toseveral billionsUS dollarstransaction, the discreteandlong-termproofnegotiationsmust the process, no one will decide the cooperationintentionin a few words, RyanandGeorge Lucasis no exception, the Lucasfollowingattitudeis very clear, ifhesellsLucasfilm company, butin the conditionsimilarsituation, will give priority toDisney.
这种涉及数十亿美元的交易,谨慎和长期的论证谈判是必须的过程,没有人会在三言两语中就敲定合作意向,瑞恩和乔治?卢卡斯也不例外,卢卡斯后面的态度很明确,如果他出售卢卡斯影业,而在条件又差不多的情况下,会优先考虑迪士尼。Ifsomepeoplebidare much higher thanDisney, that can only say that was sorry.
如果有人出价远远高于迪士尼,那就只能说抱歉了。Naturally, somewords that Ryanraisedfaintly, George Lucaswas also interestedvery much, for examplepurchased by barterinhishandwith the Disneystockin the way of premium the Lucasfilm companystock, andintroducedinhimDisneyBoard of directors.
当然,瑞恩隐隐提起的一些话,乔治?卢卡斯也很感兴趣,比如以溢价的方式用迪士尼股票换购他手中卢卡斯影业的股票,并且将他引入到迪士尼董事会之中。In brief, two peoplehave not reached the explicitintention, ineach otheris actually interestedvery much.
总之,两人没有达成明确的意向,却对彼此都很感兴趣。ActuallyRyanis very clear, inGeorge Lucasandothershareholdersintendto sellunder the Lucasfilm companypremise, the biggesthindrancedoes not come fromLucasfilm company, butis the competitor who exteriorpossiblyhas, severalDisneycirclesridge.
其实瑞恩很清楚,在乔治?卢卡斯和其他股东有意出售卢卡斯影业的前提下,最大的阻碍并不来自卢卡斯影业本身,而是外部可能存在的竞争对手,还有几道迪士尼绕不过的坎。Lucasfilm companyhasthreebigkeyprofitprojects;first, industriallightdemon;second, «Star War»series;third, «Seizes the ValuableSurprise-attack forces»series.卢卡斯影业有三大重点盈利项目,一是工业光魔,二是《星球大战》系列,三是《夺宝奇兵》系列。
The industriallightdemonwas needlessto saycarefully,thiswas the entire worldmost powerfulmoviespecial effectcompany, did not haveone! Moreoverindustriallightdemonprofit, althoughis nottoomany, actuallystabilizesrelatively, the businessquite, has not doped many external factorslike the movie.
工业光魔不用仔细去说,这是全世界最强大的电影特效公司,没有之一!而且工业光魔盈利虽然不是太多,却相对稳定,业务也较为,没有像电影那样掺杂过多外来因素。Regarding«Seizes the ValuableSurprise-attack forces»series, Paramounthasdrivingright to speak- ParamountandLucasfilm companyjointlyproducedthis/shouldseries, simultaneouslyhasdistribution rights- considering the special characteristics of thisseries, Ryandoes not mindDisney and opposite partyshareincome.
对于《夺宝奇兵》系列,派拉蒙有着更为主动的话语权-派拉蒙与卢卡斯影业联合制作了该系列,同时拥有发行权-鉴于这个系列的特质,瑞恩也不介意迪士尼与对方分享收益。
The biggesttrouble " Star War » series that lies inLucasfilm companymostgains, even ifwill be in 2008receives the financial crisisto attack, the toyandexcludingdvd and television networkselection and broadcast«Star War»seriesand othercopyright the peripheralproducts, was still Lucasfilm companybrought231 millionUS dollarsnet profit!
最大的麻烦在于卢卡斯影业最为盈利的《星球大战》系列,哪怕是2008年受到了金融危机冲击,《星球大战》系列的玩具和不包括dvd以及电视网络点播等版权在内的周边产品,仍旧为卢卡斯影业带来了2亿3100万美元的净利润!IfDisneytakesLucasfilm company, will definitely restart " Star War » series, butershishijifukesiwill become the biggestbarrier.
如果迪士尼拿下卢卡斯影业,肯定会重启《星球大战》系列,而二十世纪福克斯就会成为最大的障碍。ershishijifukesihas " Star War: The New Hope » permanentdistribution rights, as well asotherfivestarsfought the movieafter the theater, theater and video diskcopyrightMay 2030, as well astelevision networkselection and broadcastcopyright, evenin the futurewill distribute„Star War” the complete worksvideo diskcoverall, ershishijifukesiwas the barrier that Disneycould not circle.
二十世纪福克斯拥有《星球大战:新希望》的永久发行权,以及其他五部星战电影截止到2030年5月的影院、影院后和影碟版权,以及电视网络点播版权,即便是将来发行“星球大战”全集影碟套装,二十世纪福克斯都是迪士尼绕不过去的障碍。Shares " Star War » incomewithershishijifukesi, is notcannotconsider, the issue was just byherejectedershishijifukesiandNews CorporationsucheagerlooksLucasfilm companydoes dropin the pocket of Disney?
与二十世纪福克斯分享《星球大战》的收益,不是不可以考虑,问题是刚刚被他拒绝了的二十世纪福克斯和新闻集团会这么眼巴巴的看着卢卡斯影业落进迪士尼的口袋中吗?„Lucasfilm companyshowed the unusualimagination, as well asfromhisFounderGeorge Lucasthereruns through it allspoke the ability of story. IfLucasfilm company- a world-classmovieinformation bankandDisney the creativity that uniquelyandwill never dry upin the platform, business and market operationcondensein the same place, will certainlybring the long-time, obviousandremarkabledriving influence and benefitforDisney.”
“卢卡斯影业展现了超凡的想象力、,以及从其创始人-乔治?卢卡斯那里一以贯之的讲故事的能力。如果将卢卡斯影业-一个世界级的电影资料库与迪士尼在平台、商业以及市场运作上独特且永不枯竭的创造力凝聚在一起,必将为迪士尼带来长久、可见、显著的驱动力和效益。”Thisisin the previousDisneyhighestthreepeople of groupmeetings, Robert? Eggerhad saidtoRyanwords, the chief executive officer of thisDisneylikeRyan, does not concealoneselfhopeto the Lucasfilm company.
这是前一次的迪士尼最高三人组会面中,罗伯特?艾格对瑞恩说过的话,这位迪士尼的首席执行官就像瑞恩一样,毫不掩饰自己对卢卡斯影业的渴望。Except thatcanobtainoutsideindustriallightdemonDisney'surgently neededspecial effectdepartment, the Lucasfilm companya series ofclassicalmovieimages, are an effective supplementtoDisney characterstorehouse. r1152
除去能得到工业光魔这个迪士尼急需的特效部门外,卢卡斯影业一系列的经典电影形象,都是对迪士尼人物库的一次有效补充。r1152
