非常感谢银色流星帮忙翻译了这么多！！ 这篇独家报导就是为了让大家看看，其实对他们AEG来说，迈迈是死是活根本不重要，他们不会亏本！还有更多的赚，所以他们只顾压榨他，也许让他永远躺下就是AEG和SONY的初衷，他们一开始就欺骗他！迈为此付出了生命的代价！
A week after Michael Jackson's death, organizers of what would have been a 50-show run at the O2 Arena in London have made significant strides straightening out what one touring executive called "the biggest mess in the history of our business."

Jackson's legal and financial affairs will be sorted out during the course of months, if not years. But AEG Live, the promoter of his London shows, isn't waiting to try to recoup its estimated $30 million-$50 million investment in what would have been the highest-grossing arena engagement.

AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips says the company is in better shape than many believe. Besides a claim on nonappearance insurance, if there is one, AEG owns video and audio footage of Jackson's rehearsals, according to its contract with the singer. "People have speculated that this is going to bankrupt our company," he says. "The truth is it isn't."
所有翻译都集中到这里了，大家看起来更方便
MJ离世后一周，原定在伦敦O2 舞台举行50场演唱会的组织者们取得了显著的发展，被一位演出公司董事称为：它是我们这个行业最大的迷团。
MJ的法律和金融事务如果不是几年才能完成，那将会在几个月之内， 但AEG演出公司--他的伦敦演唱会的演出商，并不是等着收回可能是历史上最高票房中的3千万到5千万的投资。
AEG公司CEO兰迪说AEG的状况要比很多人想象的好，除了在保险单中的申明，age拥有mj排练的视频和音像制品底片，根据和这名歌手的协议”人们猜测这会导致这个公司破产“他说到”事实上不是这样“。

AEG演出公司组织的02伦敦演唱会门票售出8千5百万美元， 根据AEG的说法，成本费大概在2千3百万至2千5百万之间，也有其它说法成本接近3千万美元。有人估计过mj在演出中预付款最多1到2千万美元。
但Philip说mj的部分预付来自AEG为他偿还的债务，以及mj的住房和生活安排，这些支出是100%可以从保险金里扣除的，philip说道。
我们已经有保险金到位，用于支付我们绝大部分的硬件成本，而不是利润损失”，菲利普说，“在和供应商的协商这方面，有许多诉讼正在进行当中。我要说，这部份（硬钱成本）大约在2000万美元到2500万美元之间。这是由保险经纪Robertson Taylor经手的，而且我确信，既然是Lloyds，那就是多载体。”

但是如果其保险政策不发挥作用的话，AEG很有可能会失去它相当一部分的投资—而那取决于杰克逊的死因。一个保险业人士说：“如果是早先已经有的病症，或是和药物以及酒精有关的症状，即使杰克逊已经通过了医疗体检，一个正规的取消声明的政策也将不会包含它。”洛杉矶的验尸机构说，要确定杰克逊的死因还需要进一步的调查，而这需要6到8个星期。
菲利普说，那些说杰克逊绝没有做过体检的人是不对的，而AEG一向都坚称说他做过。“他绝对、百分之一百做过一次将近5个小时的体检”，他说，“承运人带来的医生都是他们从纽约精挑细选出来的，而他做了一系列的全身检查。我们当然对实际的体检报告从未得知，因为这是患者和医生之间的需要保密的医疗信息。但我们被告知，他出色地通过了体检。”

如果杰克逊完成这些表演，ＡＥＧ本将会赚得高额的收入，它们包括：餐饮销售；相关商品销售的一部分，这部分总量将会高达１５００万美元；以及ＡＥＧ　ＬＩＶＥ要向其母公司交代清楚的租赁费。菲利普拒绝透露他和杰克逊交易的具体条款，但是他说，对于ＡＥＧ，这比大部分95%-5%的超级巨星得到的要好。
菲利普说，ＡＥＧ仍然可以从彩排的影像以及音像制品获得收入，这些制品是在和杰克逊签订的的条约下拥有的。“我们拥有它的知识产权，”他说，“我们有责任，也有信托上的义务，在原条约下把这份产业最大可能的转化为现金，因为这部分利润绝大部分将会归于那份产业。

ＡＥＧ也面临着要为某些杰克逊的日期预定Ｏ２体育馆的压力。“那是最艰巨的任务，”菲利普说，“我们将预约满２０１０年的日期，因为体育馆需求量太大了。事实上，７月和８月是欧洲一年之中最慢的２个月，所以２７天之中，也许会有１０天已经被预定了。”

但是那些损失“和我们拥有的知识产权的价值相比，也许根本就微不足道，”菲利普说。杰克逊财产执行人出现后，将会安排放出这些东西。菲利普称这个影像可以说是“21世纪最引人注目的视频，因为你在谈论一个巨星，音乐这方面，他比这个宇宙中任何其他人都要闪亮。”
这份影像包括杰克逊死的那一周里星期二和星期四晚上的彩排。“在星期二晚上，他的表演让我全身为之颤动，”菲利普说，“这使我意识到，首先作为一个已经身心疲惫的娱乐监督，我为什么要这样做？有人问我是否还会这样做，我的答案是：‘当然会。’在你的一生之中，能有多少次机会接触这么一个伟大的人呢？”

有传闻流传说，AEG将会通过使用杰克逊华丽的舞台道具，搞一个致敬演出，目的是进一步减少它们的损失。菲利普说，AEG已经接到有兴趣的艺人的电话。 “我们有对于一个体育馆来说最宏伟的舞台设施，而那都是杰克逊的意思，也是像Kenny Ortega导演和监制的那样，”他说，“这对于那些没处发泄真实情感又正在寻找一个地方的粉丝来说，也许是一个结束。”
据报道，银行里从超过75万张门票中获得的8500万美元，将会通过演唱会事业中最大的偿还借款计划，回到公众手里。转售市场上的很大一部分票，通过正式和非正式的渠道，使得这个过程及其复杂，而且可能费用浩大。

在7月1号，买了票的歌迷就可以直接去MichaelJacksonLive.com这个网站，了解退票相关事宜。这些事宜将会由授权的售票机构负责，包括主要的售票公司Ticketmaster，英国的经销商Viagogo以及Seatwave。如果不愿意退票，歌迷会得到由杰克逊设计的演唱会纪念门票，这些门票通过一个光栅的过程印刷制成，使得它们有一个3D外观的效果。

菲利普说，他的下一步行动是“尽量回忆星期四那天，在杰克逊死去的那家医院里，我的脑海中所遗留的信息，并把这些信息告诉杰克逊的孩子和其母亲。这首先只是一个微小的补偿。但是我们明年有一连串的演出，而我们的事业也将会继续走下去。”

More than $85 million worth of tickets had been sold for the O2, which is operated by AEG Live parent AEG. Production costs ran between $23 million and $25 million, according to AEG, although other industry sources say the cost was closer to $30 million. And some have estimated that Jackson's advance on the shows could have been as high as $10 million-$20 million.

But Phillips says part of Jackson's advance came in the form of AEG paying certain of Jackson’s obligations, as well as Jackson’s housing and living arrangements. Such expenses are "100% recoupable" if insurance pays off, Phillips says.

"We had insurance in place to cover the majority of our hard costs but not lost profits," Phillips says. "There is a lot of litigation going on in terms of negotiations with vendors. I would say the number [in hard costs] is somewhere probably between $20 million [and] $25 million. It was done out of insurance brokerage Robertson Taylor, and I'm sure since it was Lloyds it was multiple carriers."

But AEG stands to lose a substantial part of its investment if its insurance policy won't come into play—and that could depend on the cause of Jackson's death. "If it was a pre-existing condition or drug- or alcohol-related, a normal cancelation policy would not cover that even if he had passed a medical exam," an insurance industry source says. The Los Angeles County coroner's office said that determining the cause of death will require further tests that will take six to eight weeks.

此生只爱MJ

Phillips says talk that Jackson never had a physical, as AEG said he did, is incorrect. "He absolutely, 100% had a close to five-hour physical," he says. "The carriers flew in a doctor of their choice from New York and he did an extensive battery of tests. We were obviously never privy to the actual medical reports, because this was confidential medical information between the doctor and the patient. However, we were told that he passed with flying colors."

Had Jackson performed these shows, AEG would have made significant revenue on food and beverage sales, a percentage of merchandise sales that could have totaled up to $15 million and the rental fee that AEG Live would account for to its corporate parent. Phillips declines to release terms of the deal with Jackson, but he says it was better for AEG than the 95%-5% split most superstars receive.
菲利普说，那些说杰克逊绝没有做过体检的人是不对的，而AEG一向都坚称说他做过。“他绝对、百分之一百做过一次将近5个小时的体检”，他说，“承运人带来的医生都是他们从纽约精挑细选出来的，而他做了一系列的全身检查。我们当然对实际的体检报告从未得知，因为这是患者和医生之间的需要保密的医疗信息。但我们被告知，他出色地通过了体检。”

Phillips says AEG can still generate revenue from its audio and video footage of the rehearsals, which it owns under its contract with Jackson. "We own the intellectual property," he says. "It is our responsibility and fiduciary duty to the estate to monetize as much of these assets as we can under the original contract, because the majority of the profit would go to
the estate."

AEG is also under pressure to book the O2 for some of Jackson's dates. That's "the toughest hit," Phillips says. "We'll fill in the 2010 dates because the arena's in such demand. The truth is, July and August are the slowest months of the year in Europe, so maybe 10 of those 27 dates would have been filled anyway."

But those losses "probably [are] minuscule in comparison to the value of the intellectual property we own," Phillips says. Arrangements for a release will be made after an executor for Jackson's estate emerges. Phillips calls the video "some of the most compelling footage in the 21st century, because you're talking about a star whose light shined brighter than anything else in the universe when it comes to music."

菲利普说，ＡＥＧ仍然可以从彩排的影像以及音像制品获得收入，这些制品是在和杰克逊签订的的条约下拥有的。“我们拥有它的知识产权，”他说，“我们有责任，也有信托上的义务，在原条约下把这份产业最大可能的转化为现金，因为这部分利润绝大部分将会归于那份产业。

The footage includes the Tuesday and Wednesday night rehearsals from the week of Jackson's death. "On Tuesday night he performed and gave me goose bumps," Phillips says. "It made me realize, jaded entertainment executive that I am, why I do this in the first place. I was asked if I would do this again and the answer is, ‘Hell yes.' How many times in one's career are you able to touch greatness?"

Rumors are circulating that AEG could further mitigate its losses by creating a tribute show that uses Jackson's elaborate stage production, and Phillips says AEG is already receiving calls from interested artists. "We have the most breathtaking production ever created for an arena, and it's all Michael Jackson's vision as directed and executed by Kenny Ortega," he
says. "It would be some closure for fans who have nowhere to really express their emotion and are looking for a place."

这份影像包括杰克逊死的那一周里星期二和星期四晚上的彩排。“在星期二晚上，他的表演让我全身为之颤动，”菲利普说，“这使我意识到，首先作为一个已经身心疲惫的娱乐监督，我为什么要这样做？有人问我是否还会这样做，我的答案是：‘当然会。’在你的一生之中，能有多少次机会接触这么一个伟大的人呢？”

The $85 million reportedly in the bank from ticket sales of more than 750,000 will go back to the public in the biggest refund program the concert business has ever seen. The large number of tickets on the resale market, through official and unofficial channels, make the process particularly complex, and perhaps expensive.

On July 1, fans who purchased tickets were directed to MichaelJacksonLive.com for information about how to receive refunds. They'll be processed by authorized ticketing agencies, including primary ticketing company Ticketmaster and U.K. reseller Viagogo as well as Seatwave. In lieu of a refund, fans can receive souvenir tickets designed by Jackson and printed with a lenticular process that gives them a 3-D look.

Phillips says his next move "is to try to get the images out of my mind of that Thursday I spent at the hospital when Michael died, and telling his kids and his mom. A little healing first. But we have a bunch of tours next year and our business will go on."
