„!?” Lester has not expected Eric to ask Amy suddenly Pascal: „Pascal...... Ms. Pascal she resigned.” “啊！？”莱斯特没料到艾瑞克会突然问起艾米・帕斯卡尔:“帕斯卡尔……帕斯卡尔女士她辞职了。” Eric said puzzled: „Resignation, why?” 艾瑞克不解道:“辞职,为什么？” The Lester brain revolved rapidly for several seconds, said: „I not am quite clear, possibly is the company has not arranged her to participate in " Home Alone » project, she is somewhat discontented, resigns.” 莱斯特大脑飞转了几秒钟,才道:“我也不太清楚,可能是公司没有安排她参与《小鬼当家》项目,她有些不满,才辞职的。” Eric from the look of Lester twinkle saw that he is lying, has not actually seen through an affair, said wear a look of disappointedly: „This is really a regrettable matter, since this, then I said goodbye.” 艾瑞克从莱斯特闪烁的眼神中看出他在说谎,却没有拆穿,面带失望道:“这真是件遗憾的事情,既然这样,那么我就告辞了。” Until Eric enters the elevator, Lester knocks on a door to enter Blunt Cohen office. 直到艾瑞克走进电梯,莱斯特才敲门走进布朗特・科恩的办公室。 Blunt the appearance when Cohen did not have just to have entertained Eric is radiant with smiles, the frown tight wrinkle is taking a document, but vision focal distance obviously not above. 布朗特・科恩已经没有了刚刚招待艾瑞克时笑容可掬的模样,双眉紧皱地拿着一份文件,不过目光焦距显然不在上面。 „Mr. Cohen, this is the thing that you want.” Places Blunt the folder in hand in front of Cohen, Lester has hesitated, said: „Just I bumped into Eric Williams outside, he asked Amy Pascal.” “科恩先生,这是你要的东西。”将手中的文件夹放在布朗特・科恩面前,莱斯特迟疑了一下,还是道:“刚刚我在外面碰到艾瑞克·威廉姆斯了,他问起了艾米・帕斯卡尔。” Blunt Cohen raised the head suddenly, look is staring at Lester sharply: „How did you say?” 布朗特・科恩猛然抬起头,眼神锐利地盯着莱斯特:“你怎么说的？” Lester saw that Blunt the Cohen vision wants to draw back subconsciously one step, steady metacenter shintoism: „I told him, because Amy the discontented company has not allowed her to participate in " Home Alone » project, resigned.” 莱斯特看到布朗特・科恩的目光下意识想要退一步,稳了稳心神道:“我告诉他,艾米因为不满公司没有让她参与《小鬼当家》项目,才辞职的。” Blunt Cohen is silent is staring at Lester, Lester then said: „I thought, Eric Williams and Amy Pascal is not very ripe, will otherwise not ask that my Amy Pascal office in, he definitely in secret will look for the Amy expression of gratitude. Therefore he should not look for the words that Amy tried to prove me to speak.” 布朗特・科恩沉默不语地盯着莱斯特,莱斯特接着道:“我觉得,艾瑞克·威廉姆斯和艾米・帕斯卡尔不是很熟,要不然就不会问我艾米・帕斯卡尔的办公室在哪了,他肯定会私下里去找艾米道谢。所以他应该不会去找艾米求证我说的话的。” „Did you think?” Blunt Cohen expression not any lax. “你觉得？”布朗特・科恩表情没有任何松懈。 The Lester scalp somewhat tingles with numbness, how bad luck matter criticizes the sound always to be met by oneself: „Mr. Cohen, even if were seen through an affair did not have anything, instead meets Eric to produce discontentedly to us, this regarding realizing some plan help, he is discontented with us, is easier to accept the Disney's condition.” 莱斯特头皮有些发麻,暗骂了声怎么倒霉的事情总是被自己遇上:“科恩先生,哪怕被拆穿了也没什么,反而会艾瑞克对我们产生不满,这对于实现计划还是有些帮助的,他对我们不满,就更容易接受迪斯尼的条件。” Blunt Cohen thinks that truly is this, slightly relaxed, waved saying: „Was good, you exit first.” 布朗特・科恩想想确实是这样,才稍微松了一口气,挥了挥手道:“好了,你先出去吧。” ...... …… Drives to go on the Hollywood main road, Eric was pondering today in all sorts that Columbia meets, he can affirm, Columbia not willing, because to betting agreement gets too many interests, started certain motions, now two clues, one is the compensation document in hand, one is Amy Pascal. 开车行驶在好莱坞大道上,艾瑞克思考着今天在哥伦比亚所遇到的种种,他可以肯定,哥伦比亚不甘心因为对赌协议自己获得太多利益,已经开始了某些行动,现在有两个线索,一个是手中的补偿文件,一个是艾米・帕斯卡尔。 Stopped car in leaving home a very far parking lot, the Eric walk has stolen into the family/home from the back door, arrived at two buildings to look toward outside, before the gate , many reporters stayed as before. 将汽车停在离家很远的一处停车场,艾瑞克步行从后门溜进了家里,来到二楼往外面看了看,门前依旧有不少记者停留。 Outside reporter found that Eric suddenly appears in two building windows, holds up camera shoots to get up directly. It seems like needs to move as soon as possible, Eric is thinking at heart, then quickly self-ridicules smiled, moved the Beverly Hills village including Runkle Family/Home, Eric discovered own present unexpectedly only then fragmentary several hundred USD, how a poor character. 外面记者发现艾瑞克突然出现在二楼窗口,直接举起相机拍摄起来。看来需要尽快搬家了,艾瑞克心里这么想着,接着很快自嘲地笑了笑,连朗克尔家都搬去贝弗利山庄了,艾瑞克才发现自己现在竟然只有零零碎碎几百美元,怎一个穷字了得。 Somewhat lost, telephone has been ringing suddenly. 正有些出神,身后的电话突然响了起来。 Eric picks up the microphone: „Williams, are you?” 艾瑞克拿起话筒:“威廉姆斯家,请问你是？” „Mr. Eric Williams? I am Michael the Mr. Eisner assistant, Mr. Eisner wants to invite you to have the lunch, does not know that Mr. Eric has had free time?” “艾瑞克·威廉姆斯先生吗？我是迈克尔・艾斯纳先生的助理,艾斯纳先生想邀请您共进午餐,不知道艾瑞克先生有没有空？” Disney Chairman Michael Eisner, why the Eric not strange opposite party knows that own contact method, is only the purposes in coming of some curious opposite party. 迪斯尼总裁迈克尔・艾斯纳,艾瑞克不奇怪对方为什么知道自己的联系方式,只是有些好奇对方的来意。 „, I can know that is what matter?” “请问,我可以知道是什么事情吗？” The opposite party said: „About Mr. Williams your «Home Alone» matter, Disney is interested in «Home Alone» overseas copyright.” 对方道:“是关于威廉姆斯先生您的《小鬼当家》的事情,迪斯尼对《小鬼当家》的海外版权感兴趣。” The condition that since Columbia pledges is disappointing, Eric does not mind with other company cooperation: „Good, where meets?” 既然哥伦比亚开出的条件让人失望,艾瑞克也不介意跟其他公司合作:“好吧,在什么地方见面？” „We will send for meeting you, quick.” “我们会派人来接您,很快就到。” Eric has made the telephone call, lowered the head to ponder a while, picked up the phone once more, hit to Jeffrey Hansson: „Jeffrey, I am Eric.” 艾瑞克挂了电话,低头沉思了一会儿,再次拿起电话,打给了杰弗里・汉森:“杰弗里,我是艾瑞克。” Jeffrey the Hansson tone is somewhat excited: „Heh, Eric, «Home Alone» first week Box Office was really too astonishing, I also called you in the morning extend the congratulation, what a pity nobody answered.” 杰弗里・汉森的语气有些兴奋:“嘿,艾瑞克,《小鬼当家》首周票房真是太惊人了,我上午还打电话给你表示祝贺,可惜没人接听。” „Oh, excuse me, at that time I discussed something in Columbia Corporation.” “哦,不好意思,那时我在哥伦比亚公司商议一些事情。” „Has not related, Eric, what matter do you ask me to have?” “没关系,艾瑞克,你找我有什么事情吗？” Eric said: „I go to Columbia and Blunt today Cohen discussed «when Home Alone» following screening plan, discovered that the places of many fishy, I felt that Columbia is possibly fermenting any plot. But I listen to Lester Reed said, Amy resigned suddenly, I think that you can contact with her.......” 艾瑞克道:“我今天去哥伦比亚与布朗特・科恩商议《小鬼当家》接下来的上映计划时,发现很多蹊跷的地方,我感觉哥伦比亚可能在酝酿着什么阴谋。而我听莱斯特・里德说,艾米突然辞职了,我想你能不能联系一下她……。” Opposite Jeffrey Hansson has hesitated evil ways: „Eric, this matter, I thought that relates Amy to be also useless, even if Amy resigned, will not disclose the Columbia business secret by her disposition. You can me tell that which unusual matters does have? You know, I mingled among the Hollywood also more than 20 years, could help your staff officer.” 对面的杰弗里・汉森迟疑了一下道:“艾瑞克,这件事,我觉得联系艾米也没有用,艾米即使辞职了,以她的性格也不会透露哥伦比亚的商业机密的。你可以跟我说一下有哪些反常的事情吗？你知道,我混迹好莱坞也有20多年了,或许可以帮你参谋一下。” Eric sees unable to count on that Amy Pascal, has to say the morning matter carefully. 艾瑞克见指望不上艾米・帕斯卡尔,只好将上午的事情细细说了一遍。 The Jeffrey hear has hesitated for two minutes, said: „Makes the attorney have a look at that compensation agreement, I thought that very possible issue to leave here. If no, I could not see other issues temporarily, Eric, you can also remember other details?” 杰弗里听完沉吟了两分钟,道:“让律师看看那份补偿协议,我觉得很可能问题出在这里。如果没有的话,我暂时也看不出其他问题了,艾瑞克,你还能想起一些其他细节吗？” „Other details?” Eric was thinking aloud, remembered just telephone saying: „Was right, in I call before you, Disney's Michael Eisner invited me to have the lunch suddenly, said that was interested in «Home Alone» overseas copyright.” “其他细节？”艾瑞克自言自语着,想起刚刚的电话说道:“对了,就在我跟你打电话之前,迪斯尼的迈克尔・艾斯纳突然邀请我共进午餐,说是对《小鬼当家》的海外版权感兴趣。” „Michael Eisner.......” Jeffrey read one this name, the sound somewhat is suddenly loud, then said: „Michael Eisner with Blunt Cohen is the friend, Eric, waits for you to be surely discrete, do not comply with Michael Eisner anything. The «Home Alone» overseas that Columbia starts out are divided into very lowly, Disney's Michael because Eisner this matter contacts with you, must say that among these two does not have any relations, on the imperial capital does not believe.” “迈克尔・艾斯纳……。”杰弗里念了一遍这个名字,声音突然有些大,接着道:“迈克尔・艾斯纳跟布朗特・科恩是朋友,艾瑞克,等下你千万要谨慎,不要答应迈克尔・艾斯纳任何事情。哥伦比亚开出的《小鬼当家》海外分成很低,紧接着迪斯尼的迈克尔・艾斯纳就因为这件事联系你,要说这两者之间没有任何关系,上帝都不相信。” Eric listens to the Jeffrey injunction, the corner of the eye split vision to cast aside proficient out of the door to come silver car suddenly, therefore said: „Jeffrey, Michael Eisner sent to meet my car.” 艾瑞克听着杰弗里的嘱咐,眼角余光突然撇到家门外开来一辆银色轿车,于是道:“杰弗里,迈克尔・艾斯纳派来接我的轿车到了。” „That goes, Eric, remember, the opposite party said again give an exaggerated account of things, does not need to comply with anything.” “那就去吧,艾瑞克,记住,对方说的再天花乱坠,也不用答应任何事情。” The Eric nod is complying, made the telephone call to go down the building. After the opposite party indicates the status, the car driver and another man push the reporter, protected Eric to seat car. 艾瑞克点头答应着,挂了电话走下楼。向对方表明身份后,轿车司机和另外一个男子挤开记者,护着艾瑞克坐进了轿车。 Half childhood, Eric saw Michael in Hilton Hotel Eisner, this time Michael Eisner over 40 years old, when maturity. By this age fingers and palm six big Disney, inevitable appears somewhat high-spirited, has not actually evolved afterward Disney tyrant, way one treats people is also very compatible. 半个小时候,艾瑞克在希尔顿酒店见到了迈克尔・艾斯纳,此时的迈克尔・艾斯纳才40多岁,正值壮年。以这个年纪指掌六大之一的迪斯尼,无可避免显得有些意气风发,却还没有进化成后来的迪斯尼暴君,待人接物也很亲和。 „Somewhat envies you, Eric. When I was 18 years old, but also to test into Denison University was pleased with oneself, you have actually achieved many people for a lifetime the altitude that was hard to hope to attain.” In Schilt hotel dining room, Michael Eisner and Eric two people have not said the subject eagerly, but chatted at will. “真有些羡慕你啊,艾瑞克。我18岁的时候,还在为考上丹尼森大学而沾沾自喜,你却已经达到了很多人一辈子都难以企及的高度。”希尔特饭店餐厅里,迈克尔・艾斯纳和艾瑞克两个人并没有急于说正题,而是随意闲聊了起来。 „Actually I am prepared to gain admission to the California university, Mr. Eisner, what a pity in the family/home left some accidents, has to take the path that relies on one's own effort to revive, fortunately the luck is quite good.” “其实我本来是准备考加州大学的,艾斯纳先生,可惜家里出了一些变故,不得不走上自力更生的道路,所幸运气比较好。” Michael Eisner shook the head, said: „No, absolutely is not luck, Eric, although we first meeting, but I have actually understood your fact. Person who if one does not have the talent, even if the lucky goddess cares for again, he will not achieve the so astonishing achievement. You are I have seen one of the most outstanding young people.” 迈克尔・艾斯纳摇了摇头,道:“不,绝对不是运气,艾瑞克,虽然我们才第一次见面,不过我却了解过你的事迹。如果是一个没有才华的人,即使是幸运女神再眷顾,他也不会取得如此惊人成就的。你是我见过的最出色的年轻人之一。” „Praise thank you, Mr. Eisner. You are also one of people I most admire, few personally in your this age on fingers and palm film giants.” “谢谢你的夸奖,艾斯纳先生。你也是我最佩服的人之一,没有几个人在您这个年纪就指掌一家电影巨头的。” Michael Eisner enjoys thinking highly of Eric obviously very much, said with a smile: „Since I am one of them, I can know, Eric, which do you most admire?” 迈克尔・艾斯纳显然很享受艾瑞克的恭维,笑道:“既然我是其中之一,我可以知道,艾瑞克,你最佩服哪一个吗？” Eric thinks, said: „Most admires should be Howard Hughes.” 艾瑞克想了想,道:“最佩服的应该是霍华德・休斯吧。” „Oh,” Michael Eisner nodded, said: „That truly is a legendary character, said, Eric, among you two also some similarities. Perhaps reason that you compared with him splendidly, he can achieve that great achievement, must give credit to most probably inheriting father's large amount inheritance. But you have not actually depended upon anybody, now quickly became the youngest billionaires.” “哦,”迈克尔・艾斯纳点了点头,道:“那确实是一个传奇般的人物,说起来,艾瑞克,你们两个之间还有些相似之处呢。或许你比他更出色一点,他之所以能取得那么大的成就,大半要归功于继承父亲的巨额遗产。而你却没有依靠任何人,现在已经快成为最年轻的亿万富翁了。” Eric is listening to Michael the praise of Eisner somewhat blushes however smiled, if were not the rebirth, he perhaps should now in the company crude movie studio, shoots certain healthy products and so on television advertisement. 艾瑞克听着迈克尔・艾斯纳的夸奖有些赧然地笑了笑,如果不是重生了,他现在或许应该在公司简陋的摄影棚里,拍摄某些保健品之类的电视广告。 If neglects Michael Eisner arbitrary despotic disposition, he truly is one has the person of charisma. Lunch two people eat the table to chat, the atmosphere is quite happy. If not give Jeffrey ahead of time Hansson has made that phone call, lets Eric to Michael Eisner produces vigilantly, Eric at this time perhaps with Michael Eisner became the intergenerational activity. 如果忽略迈克尔・艾斯纳独断专横的性格,他确实是一个极具人格魅力的人。一顿午餐两个人边吃表聊,气氛相当愉快。如果不是提前给杰弗里・汉森打了那个电话,让艾瑞克对迈克尔・艾斯纳产生警惕的话,艾瑞克此时或许就会跟迈克尔・艾斯纳成为忘年交了。 When the waiter removes the tableware, Michael Eisner said: „Was good, Eric, we chat the proper business.” 等侍者撤下餐具,迈克尔・艾斯纳道:“好了,艾瑞克,我们聊聊正事吧。”
