大卫·埃里森在完成派拉蒙与华纳兄弟探索合并、组建媒体巨头天舞公司后，正以盛大方式庆祝。
David Ellison is celebrating in style after completing Paramount's Warner Bros. Discovery merger, forming media giant Skydance.
周四上午，埃里森及其领导团队在纽约金融区的纽约证券交易所敲响开市钟，这距离他们在天舞公司首个工作日向员工发表讲话仅过去几天。
Ellison and his leadership team rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning in New York's Financial District, days after addressing staff on Skydance's first day.
我密切关注派拉蒙-华纳兄弟探索这桩交易近一年，其中包括：因此当周四看到埃里森一行在华尔街敲钟时，感觉这是天舞公司故事这一章节的象征性终结——尽管真正的行动才刚刚开始。
I've closely followed the Paramount-WBD saga for nearly a year including: So when I saw Ellison and company ring the bell on Wall Street, it felt like a symbolic way to close this chapter of Skydance's story — even though the real action is just beginning.
虽然天舞高管们周四沉浸在庆祝氛围中，但他们面临一系列挑战，包括约800亿美元的债务负担，以及来自Netflix、迪士尼和YouTube等流媒体强劲竞争对手的压力。
While Skydance executives were in celebration mode on Thursday, they face a litany of challenges, including a roughly $80 billion debt load and potent competition in streaming from the likes of Netflix, Disney, and YouTube.
尽管HBO Max和Paramount+合并后实力增强，但埃里森和天舞领导层仍需想办法整合旗下流媒体服务。
Although HBO Max and Paramount+ may be stronger together, Ellison and Skydance's leaders need to figure out how to integrate their streamers.
天舞股价周四上涨逾5%，但今年以来下跌30%，过去12个月市值几乎腰斩。这些损失并未阻止埃里森展现信心。
Skydance shares rose more than 5% on Thursday but are down 30% this year and have lost nearly half their value in the last 12 months. Those losses didn't stop Ellison from projecting confidence.
他在纽约证交所敲钟前对CNBC表示：“我们在所经营的每一个垂直领域都处于赢家位置。
"We are positioned to win in every single vertical that we operate in," Ellison told CNBC at the NYSE before ringing the opening bell.
通过合并派拉蒙和华纳兄弟，我们拥有了拥有顶级知识产权的最强内容引擎。”以下是我在天舞敲钟仪式上拍摄的18张照片。
"By combining Paramount and Warner Bros., we have the greatest content engine with marquee intellectual property." Here are 18 photos I took at Skydance's opening bell ceremony.
