Hollywood Hunter

The final stage of editing has already begun. Simon is still busy in the latter part of the film in the morning, and in the afternoon is a continuous half-day release conference.

Today is Monday, August 7.

After the release of the last new film on Friday, Daenerys Entertainment's summer distribution will officially close.

As of now, Daenerys Entertainment has released a total of 7 films this year, namely,,,,,, and, of which only two movies are enough to support Daenerys Entertainment's annual performance, and others have been released. There is no shortage of highlights in the film.

Next, counting, there are 10 more films related to Daenerys Entertainment waiting to be released in the second half of the year.

The sum of them is issued by Warner Bros. Pictures, and the dates are determined as November 17 and December 22, respectively.

The other 8 movies,,,,,, and are operated by three brands under Daenerys Entertainment, and the schedule covers all five months in the second half of the year.

At the same time, because Daenerys Entertainment has set up branches in major overseas ticket warehouse countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, West, Japan, and Australia, starting from the four films at the end of last year, Daenerys Entertainment’s overseas The distribution work has been carried out continuously.

The focus of the overseas distribution in the second half of the year will be on the three films in the summer.

Burbank.

Daenerys Entertainment Division, at five o'clock in the afternoon, the four-hour meeting ended.

Most people started to leave after get off work, Simon and Ella Doiqiman agreed to look at the sample, and stay two more hours.

Conference room.

Amy noticed that Simon had been in a very good mood since breakfast today. After everyone dispersed, he called on Simon to tell Ella to leave first, took the chair and sat down at the conference table.

Simon knew Amy had something to talk about, and he sat down again and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"That's it," Amy pondered a little, and said, "Simon, Rem called me this morning."

Simon was roughly aware of what, and just motioned Amy to continue.

Amy went on: "The news I heard during this time, Sony originally intended to invite Bob to take charge of Samsung Pictures after the completion of this acquisition. Because of the recent 10 movies, Sony should have dispelled this idea. Bao Bo means that he no longer asks for a salary increase. However, he hopes the company will help pay for a property he fancy in Manhattan’s Upper East Side for $3 million."

Robert Rem’s contract was just one year old at the end of July, and he received the full $3 million bonus from the original contract last week.

Simon is actually concerned about Rem's move.

If it weren’t for Sony’s 10 movie titles for Daenerys Entertainment, Rem might have resigned to Simon.

Seeing Simon's fingers tapping lightly on the table, there was no immediate response, and Amy had to continue: "Simon, compared to the extra reward plan of $15 million that you created, Rem's request is not excessive. The results of the work over the past year are obvious to all."

The release of has entered the sixth week.

Last Friday, according to the company's and theater's ladder share plan, Daenerys Entertainment has recovered the first $10.613 million box office share from the total box office of $150.02 million in the first four weeks.According to the global box office forecast of 600 million US dollars, this movie is only at the box office, at least it can also bring Da Ni Lisi entertainment not less than 150 million US dollars in share income.

Excluding all costs, Daenerys Entertainment will only pass the theater screening in the next year, and the net profit will not be less than 220 million US dollars. The later video and television broadcasts are also rich in revenue.

According to a comprehensive calculation, the net profit contributed to Daenerys Entertainment will not be less than 500 million US dollars throughout the entire profit cycle.

On the other hand, many things that have happened recently are changing some of Simon's ideas.

The accumulation of billions of dollars of overseas funds and a series of huge assets that continue to increase in value under Westeros made Simon realize that,

Immediately afterwards, Daenerys Entertainment's 10 foreign cooperation movie plans triggered a feverish pursuit of Hollywood, making Simon understand that sometimes sharing the benefits can not only protect themselves, but also obtain unexpected power and more benefits from it.

The 10 movie plans were announced, which immediately resolved Ga’s investigation, prompting Orion to settle the arrears, MGM no longer mentioned the lawsuit, about to complete the acquisition of Colombia’s Sony initiative to give up from Daenerys Entertainment. The plan, as well as Simon’s encounter with more eager stars than the past at the party last night, meant that Daenerys Entertainment and Simon’s personal influence on Hollywood had increased dramatically.

Obviously, these are undoubtedly an implicit power.

At the same time, although Daenerys Entertainment only accounted for half of the investment in the 10 films, it also actively gave up the proceeds of distribution. However, because of Simon’s prophetic advantage, the project he selected should have been very successful. Now it is equal to Daenerys. Entertainment split up nearly half of the revenue that should have been attributed to other Hollywood studios.

In addition, yesterday I heard that Steve Rose rewarded the sports car of the crew, and Simon also realized another reason. Spending money is not just buying real things, spending money on people, it is also a kind of consumption, and it is often available. Unexpected return.

Therefore, Simon discussed with Amy a major additional incentive plan at breakfast today, totaling $15 million.

Among them, De Niro is 5 million US dollars. This award can make his total salary from the project reach the top 10 million US dollars in Hollywood. The other producer is 2 million US dollars, the director is 2 million US dollars, playing Cole The small actor of 1 million US dollars, the remaining supporting actors and the film creator share the last 5 million US dollars.

Such a bonus is not much relative to the expected huge income, but it is rare for the production company to voluntarily distribute additional bonuses after the box office sale. In the memory of Simon II, there are many film companies. After the box-office sale, find ways to engulf the main case should be scored.

Hollywood's current first-line star pay has begun to reach the tens of millions of dollars.

In order to control budget costs and prevent the film company from becoming a supporting role for the star's "work", Simon will still try to suppress the star's pay, but at the same time also plans to set up a more reasonable share plan, so that the main creator can get more after the box office sale income.

As for the matter before me.

Although some of Simon's ideas began to change, but one thing hasn't changed, he still doesn't like people who break the contract very much.

The most fundamental reason for Daenerys Entertainment's smooth expansion in the distribution network this year is the support of a series of blockbuster films.Without these chips, Daenerys Entertainment cannot make North American theaters rush, nor can it quickly open up overseas.

Simon actually holds a positive attitude towards Robert Rem's work, and he is still a person who misses old feelings, advocating the notion that clothes are not as good as new people.If Rem can work diligently to complete his three-year contract period, Simon will definitely give him a renewal compensation plan that is satisfactory to him.

right now.

Stopping tapping the finger on the desktop lightly, Simon nodded and said, "Since he wants it, give it to him. In addition, I plan to integrate various overseas branches into a unified subsidiary, responsible for the operation of the overseas distribution network. As well as the investment in overseas movie projects, as for the name, Daenerys International, you recently looked for candidates for management. Also, last year’s waiting period for several movie theaters has ended, and the company’s next video tape business will appear An explosion, Daenerys family entertainment also needs a dedicated person in charge."

Amy heard Simon say this, knowing he was really annoyed, and thought about it, said: "Can these two things be separated?"

"If it weren't for Sony to give up, I should have received the resignation letter now." Simon shook his head and looked at Amy seriously: "I am actually a person who is very afraid of owing others, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. So As long as I can, I will give you some more. However, I don’t like a person who overestimates their importance and asks for something they should not get."

Having said this, Simon would stand up and walk out before waiting for Amy to respond.

Came to the screening room of the branch, and the sample that I watched with Deichman was already at seven o'clock. By the way, I had dinner together. Simon did not go back to the residence of the Trasdale Manor in Beverly Hills, but returned. To the villa on the west side of Malibu Dume Point.

On Monday night in Los Angeles, it was already Tuesday afternoon in Melbourne. Several major stock exchanges in Asia basically closed.

Calling over, Janet told Simon that the Nikkei 225 index officially broke through 38,000 points at the close of local time on Tuesday afternoon.

Out of caution, the two of them just clicked on the topic.

Simon's goal is too obvious. Americans have a long history of eavesdropping. It is difficult to say whether his home phone will be eavesdropped.During this time, some important information was transmitted through the most primitive manual method. Every day, staff traveled between Melbourne and Los Angeles and New York.

Simon and Janet made a phone congee for more than two hours, mainly to discuss the vacation schedule starting next month.

At eleven o'clock, Simon hung up the phone and read the script for another hour before resting.

I saw more detailed information the next morning.

The Japanese stock market was fixed at 38076 at the close of August 8 local time. During this time, Cersei Capital No. 1 to No. 5 Fund, which was apparently operated by Janet and Anthony, did not clear the market as Simon did. Instead, it continues to maintain its net long position, and its current net asset value has reached $3.29 billion.

Because of the strict confidentiality measures of all parties, the news that the funds 1 to 5 have changed owners has not been leaked at all.

Given the current growth momentum of the Japanese stock market, Simon feels that the Nikkei 225 index will hit the 40,000 point mark this time. There is no problem. Of course, it has nothing to do with him.

According to the established plan, Cersei Capital Nos. 6 to 10 have recently begun to establish short contracts for junk bond-related companies in North American stock and bond markets.

Unlike stock index futures, the operation of shorting stocks and bonds is much more complicated, and it is also susceptible to countermeasures by the target company.However, the junk bond market in North America totaling US$200 billion, as well as related company shares with a total size of hundreds of billions of dollars, is enough for Cersei Capital, which has only US$5 billion in capital, to complete the layout without causing too many people to be alert.

This is actually the reason why Simon initially restricted Cersei's capital scale.

With Simon’s current appeal, Cersei Capital can easily gather a huge sum of tens of billions of dollars if investment is liberalized, but if it does so, it will be large enough to disturb the market. Don't think about doing too much.

Last time I went to Melbourne, combined with my memory and the data collected by Janet, Cersei Capital has confirmed the operation plan on the North American side. Simon is only paying attention to it and not intervening in specific operations.

The American Screenwriters Union investigated the matter.

After several negotiations over two weeks, Daenerys Entertainment finally reached an agreement with the American Screenwriters Union. Daenerys Entertainment admitted to violating the ga regulations with the two scripts at a cost of $100,000 per script. Pay a fine of $200,000 to gain GA's understanding.

Everyone knows that this is just Daenerys Entertainment giving Ga a step.

As for the compensation that Bruce Joy Robin tried to fight for, because the two parties were completely voluntary during the signing of the agreement, Ga ruled that Bruce Joy Robin also had active violations, so he did not support Bruce Joy Robin’s claim. .

The agreement signed by the two parties did not violate the relevant federal regulations. The key to this dispute is the attitude of the union.

Now, without the support of the union, even if both parties go to court, Bruce Joy Robin is completely impossible to get any compensation.What's more, it is well known to spend money in the United States, and Bruce Joy Robin apparently does not have enough capital to file a lawsuit against Daenerys Entertainment, and he can only stand up after the verdict.

Many people understand the origin of Daenerys Entertainment’s 10 foreign cooperative film projects, and the dispute with the union is over. The attention of the entire Hollywood has turned to this matter. The media has also paid more attention to this because Simon is delayed No selected script project was announced, and some people have even begun to worry about whether he will regret it.
