"Batman" has begun the final stage of editing work, Simon is still busy with the later stages of the film in the morning, and the afternoon is a half-day release meeting.

Today is Monday, August 7th.

Daenerys Entertainment's summer release this year will officially come to a close after the release of the last new film, "Uncle Buck," on Friday.

Up to now, Daenerys Entertainment has released a total of 7 films this year, namely "Blue Angels of Thunder", "Metropolisians", "Sisters", "Hellman 2", "Sid Sisters", "Sisters" The Bodyguard" and "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", of which only two films of "The Bodyguard" and "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" are enough to prop up Daenerys Entertainment's annual performance, and other films that have been released are also not lacking in bright spots.

Next, including "Uncle Buck", there are 10 films related to Daenerys Entertainment waiting to be released in the second half of the year.

Among them, "Flying Innocent" and "Batman" were released by Warner Bros. Pictures, and the schedules were determined as November 17 and December 22, respectively.

8 additional films "Uncle Buck", "Sweet Sister", "Woman on the Roof", "The Angels", "Scream 2", "My Left Foot", "The Gucci Documentary" and "For "Miss Daisy Drives" is operated by the three labels of Daenerys Entertainment, and the schedule covers all five months of the second half of the year.

At the same time, because Daenerys Entertainment has established branches in major overseas ticketing countries such as the UK, France, Germany, Italy, West, Japan, and Australia, starting from the four films of "Scream" at the end of last year, Dan Nelith Entertainment's overseas distribution work has been going on without interruption.

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

Burbank.

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

Most people started to leave after get off work, and Simon and Ella Deutschman made an appointment to see the demo of "Driving for Miss Daisy" and stayed for another two hours.

conference room.

Amy noticed that Simon was in a very good mood since breakfast today. After everyone dispersed, she called out to Simon, and motioned Ella to leave first, and pulled the chair to sit at the conference table.

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

"It's like this," Amy thought for a while before saying, "Simon, Rem came to me this morning."

Simon roughly realized something and just motioned for Amy to continue.

Amy continued: "I heard news during this period that Sony originally intended to invite Bob to take the helm of Samsung Pictures after the completion of this acquisition. Because of the recent 10 movies, Sony should have given up this idea. Bao Bob means he's not asking for a raise anymore. However, he wants the company to help pay for a $3 million property he's looking at on Manhattan's Upper East Side."

Robert Rehm's contract just completed one year at the end of July, and he received the full $3 million bonus on his original contract last week.

Simon actually also paid attention to Rem's move.

If it weren't for Sony's bid for Daenerys Entertainment's 10-movie spot, perhaps Rem would have offered Simon's resignation by now.

Seeing that Simon's fingers were lightly tapping on the table, and there was no immediate response, Amy had to continue: "Simon, compared to the extra reward plan of the creators of "The Sixth Sense", which totaled 15 million US dollars, Rem's request is not Not too much, the results of his work over the past year are there for all to see."

The release of "The Sixth Sense" has entered its sixth week.

On Friday, Daenerys has recouped its first $106.13 million in box-office cut of $150.02 million in the first four weeks under a company-theatrical tiered split. According to the "Sixth Sense" global box office forecast of 600 million US dollars, the film will only be in terms of box office, at least it will bring no less than 150 million US dollars in revenue for Daenerys Entertainment.

Excluding all costs, Daenerys Entertainment will only release "The Sixth Sense" in theaters in the next year, and the net profit will not be less than 220 million US dollars, and the later videotape and TV broadcast income will be equally rich.

Comprehensive calculations show that the net profit contributed by "The Sixth Sense" to Daenerys Entertainment will not be less than $500 million during the entire profit cycle.

On the other hand, a lot of recent events are changing some of Simon's perceptions.

The billions of dollars hoarded overseas and a series of huge assets under the name of the Westeros Company that continue to increase in value have made Simon realize that although some things are not yet possible, the wealth he now has probably will not be spent in a lifetime. .

Immediately after, Daenerys Entertainment's 10 foreign-cooperative film plans aroused a frenzy in Hollywood, which made Simon understand that sometimes sharing the benefits can not only protect himself, but also gain unexpected power and more benefits from it.

The announcement of the 10-film plan instantly resolved the WGA investigation, prompting Orion to settle the arrears of "Pulp Fiction", MGM no longer mentioning the "Rain Man" lawsuit, and Sony, which was about to complete its acquisition of Columbia, voluntarily gave up Daenerys Entertainment's plan to poach people, and Simon's encounter with more eager stars than ever at last night's party means that Daenerys Entertainment and Simon's personal influence on Hollywood has suddenly increased.

Obviously, these are undoubtedly a kind of implicit power.

At the same time, 10 films, although Daenerys Entertainment only accounted for half of the investment, still

Voluntarily gave up the distribution revenue, but because of Simon's prophetic advantage, the project he selected should have been very successful, and now it means that Daenerys Entertainment has taken away nearly all the revenue that should have belonged to other Hollywood studios. half.

In addition, hearing yesterday that Steve Ross rewarded the sports car of the "Lethal Weapon" crew also made Simon realize another truth. Spending money is not just buying physical objects. Spending money on people is also a kind of 'consumption'. ', and often with unexpected returns.

So Simon and Amy discussed a bonus program for The Sixth Sense creator over breakfast today, totaling $15 million.

Among them, De Niro is 5 million US dollars. This reward can make his total salary from the project reach the top level of 10 million US dollars in Hollywood. Another producer is 2 million US dollars, and the director is 2 million US dollars. Play Cole $1 million for the small actors, and the rest of the supporting cast and film creators share the final $5 million.

Such a bonus is not much compared to the expected huge revenue of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", but it is rare for the production company to actively distribute additional bonuses after the box office sale. In the memory of Simon II, However, there are many cases of film companies trying their best to swallow up the share of the main creator after the box office sells.

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

In order to control the budget cost and prevent the film company from becoming a supporting role for the star's 'part-time job', Simon will still try his best to suppress the star's remuneration, but at the same time he plans to set more reasonable sharing plans so that the main creator can get more after the box office sells. income.

As for this matter.

Although some of Simon's ideas have begun to change, one thing has not changed. He still dislikes people who violate the contract very much.

The most fundamental reason for Daenerys Entertainment's smooth expansion in distribution network this year is the support of a series of blockbuster films. Without these chips, it is impossible for Daenerys Entertainment to attract major theater chains in North America, and it is even more impossible to quickly open up overseas.

In fact, Simon also has a positive attitude towards Robert Rem's work. Moreover, he is also a person who is very nostalgic, advocating the concept that the clothes are not as good as the new ones. If Rem can conscientiously complete his three-year contract period, Simon will definitely give him a renewal salary plan that is enough to satisfy him.

Now.

Stopped tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Simon nodded and said, "If 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 for the investment in overseas film projects, as for the name, it is called Daenerys International. You are looking for management candidates recently. Also, last year's "Scream" and other movie theaters have ended the window period, and the company will take over There will be an explosion in the video business that comes down, and Daenerys Home Entertainment will also need a dedicated person in charge."

Amy heard what Simon said, and knew that he was really annoyed. After thinking about it, she said, "Can these two things be separated for a while?"

"If it wasn't for Sony giving up voluntarily, I should have received my resignation letter by now." Simon shook his head, looked at Amy and said seriously: "I am actually a person who is very afraid of owed others, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. So , as long as I can, I will give you more. However, I also don’t like a person who overestimates his importance and asks for something he should not get.”

After saying that, without waiting for Amy to respond, Simon stood up and walked out.

It was seven o'clock when I came to the screening room of the branch and watched the demo of "Driving for Miss Daisy" with Deutschman. We had dinner together by the way. Simon didn't go back to Trousdale, Beverly Hills. The residence of the manor, but returned to the villa on the west side of Cape Dumei, Malibu.

On Monday night on the Los Angeles side, it was already Tuesday afternoon on the Melbourne side, and several major stock exchanges in Asia were basically closed.

Over the phone, Janet told Simon that the Nikkei 225 had officially topped 38,000 at the close on Tuesday afternoon local time.

Out of an abundance of caution, the two only touched on the topic.

Simon's goal is too obvious. Americans have a long history in wiretapping. It is difficult to say whether his home phone will be wiretapped. During this time, some important information was transmitted through the most primitive manual methods, with staff traveling between Melbourne and Los Angeles and New York every day.

Simon and Janet spent more than two hours on the phone, mostly discussing the vacation schedule starting next month.

After hanging up at eleven o'clock, Simon flipped through the script for another hour before resting.

The next morning saw more detailed information.

The Japanese stock market closed at 38,076 points on August 8, local time. During this period, Cersei Capital Funds 1 to 5, which were still ostensibly operated by Janet and Anthony, left the market because they did not clear their positions according to Simon's plan. Instead, it continues to maintain a net long position, and the current net asset value has reached 3.29 billion US dollars.

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

With the current growth momentum of the Japanese stock market, Simon feels that there is no problem with the Nikkei 225 hitting the 40,000-point mark this time. Of course, all this has nothing to do with him.

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

Different from stock index futures, the operation of shorting stocks and bonds is much more complicated and vulnerable.

The target company was aware of it and was countered. However, the junk bond market in North America totaling $200 billion, and the stocks of related companies with a total size of hundreds of billions of dollars, are enough for Cersei Capital, which has only $5 billion, to complete the layout without causing too many people to be alarmed.

This is actually the reason why Simon limited the scale of Cersei's capital in the first place.

With Simon's current appeal, Cersei Capital is enough to easily gather a huge sum of tens of billions of dollars if it is allowed to absorb investment, but if it does so, Cersei Capital, which is so large that it is already large enough to stir the market, will also be able to. Don't think about doing too much.

When I went to Melbourne last time, based on my own memory and the information collected by Janet, Cersei Capital has confirmed the operation plan on the North American side. Simon is only paying attention to it in general, and does not interfere in specific operations.

The Writers Guild of America investigates.

After several negotiations over a two-week period, Daenerys Entertainment finally reached an agreement with the Screenwriters Guild of America. Daenerys Entertainment admitted that it violated WGA regulations on the two scripts of "Scream" and "The Sixth Sense". , at the cost of $100,000 per script, and a total of $200,000 in fines to get the wga's understanding.

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

As for the compensation that Bruce Joy Robin was trying to obtain, because the two parties were completely voluntary during the signing of the agreement, the wga ruled that Bruce Joy Robin also had active violations and therefore did not support Bruce Joy Robin's appeal. .

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

Now, without the support of the union, even if the two sides go to court, it is completely impossible for Bruce Joy Robin to get any compensation. What's more, it's well known to spend money on lawsuits in the United States, and Bruce Joy Robin obviously doesn't have enough capital to file a lawsuit against Daenerys Entertainment, and he can only die after the wga's ruling.

Many people understand the origin of Daenerys Entertainment's 10 foreign co-production film plan, the dispute with the union is over, the attention of the entire Hollywood is turned to this matter, and the media is also paying more attention to it, because Simon belatedly No scripted projects have been announced, and some have even begun to worry about whether he will go back.
