Five consecutive hits in the DC Cinematic Universe have cemented Daenerys Entertainment's grip on the franchise.

Terry Semel is here today with no intention of fighting for control, but he's not just accompanying Simon to check on the production progress of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises and Suicide Squad.

Ending the topic of the actor of "Suicide Squad", Terry Semel said: "Simon, don't you think the advancement of the DC movie universe can be accelerated?"

This is already an old-fashioned question.

Daenerys Entertainment has also created super hits such as "Jurassic Park" and "The Lion King" in addition to the DC movie universe project, but Warners has not had such good luck. In recent years, the film business has largely been It all depends on the support of the interests generated by the dc movie universe.

This year's two "Superman" and "Cyborg", next year's two "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" and "Suicide Squad", such a speed of advancement has made Simon feel a little rushed. Historically, starting with Tim Burton's first "Batman", Warner Bros. only released 4 Batman movies ten years before the millennium.

Simon couldn't possibly agree to Warner's proposal to speed up the DC Cinematic Universe again, and Terry Semel knew that Simon couldn't possibly agree to it.

After some routine wrangling, it was past five o'clock in the afternoon.

After sending Terry Semel off, Simon did not leave work as usual, and rushed to the administrative district office to continue discussing with Amy Daenerys Entertainment's employee compensation incentive plan at the end of the year.

After the merger of mca, although a large layoff was initially carried out, after the expansion in the past two years, the entire Daenerys Entertainment Group, excluding subsidiaries such as Blockbuster with a shareholding ratio of less than 50%, employees The total scale has also rapidly expanded to 21,000 people.

As the revenue and profit of the entire group continue to reach new highs in the coming year, Daenerys Entertainment once again planned a generous year-end dividend plan this year, but the total dividend scale for employees below the non-core management level will be Reaching $500 million, on average each employee is equivalent to an additional half-year salary incentive.

In addition, the remuneration packages of core management such as Amy Pascal, Robert Iger, Nancy Brill, etc. are also calculated separately, which are naturally more generous.

The average salary of Daenerys Entertainment’s employees was originally the highest in the entire Hollywood. With the news of this generous dividend plan, the resumes received for recruitment positions in various departments of the group skyrocketed several times in a short period of time.

In Simon's office in Office Building No. 1, Administrative District.

Amy Pascal and Simon discussed the dividend plan that the personnel department had initially determined, but they couldn't help thinking about their own affairs.

Starting from the entry in March 1987, the initial 4-year term to the extended 3-year contract, a total of 7 years, has witnessed the rise of Daenerys Entertainment Group step by step, and Amy will also receive a very terrifying return. .

I will not talk about the past 6 years, but this year, according to some preliminary statistics from the financial department, even if the employees are given generous cash dividends, the net profit of Daenerys Entertainment Group this year will reach the terrifying level of 2 billion US dollars.

Among them, only one "Jurassic Park" at the end of last year brought more than 600 million US dollars of pre-tax net income to Daenerys Entertainment in terms of local release, overseas distribution and peripheral sales in 1993. The film, television, game, music, publishing, cinema, retail, theme park and other businesses of the company are all in a thriving state driven by the powerful locomotive of the film department.

According to the net profit of 2 billion US dollars, Amy Pascal can get a 5% net profit dividend and the equivalent stock in the future, which means an annual income of up to 200 million US dollars.

In the whole world, there is probably no professional manager with a higher salary than her.

Moreover, this is only one year's income in 1993.

Amy's stock awards for the past six years have not been cashed.

Her own boss has personally promised that she can cash out her stock award at a price of 30% of Daenerys Entertainment's IPO valuation. When all the 7-year stock rewards of the contract expire next year, and Daenerys Entertainment successfully completes the IPO, Amy feels that she will definitely be able to occupy next year's "Forbes" rich list as a billionaire. A very nice location.

$1 billion.

Every time I think about it, Amy feels like a dream.

The heads of traditional big Hollywood studios, such as Steve Ross, who has passed away, or Lou Vasalman, who retired after selling mca, have never been able to accumulate such a wealth of money in Hollywood all their lives. The net worth of her, at this stage, the executives at the same level as her in Hollywood may not have earned as much income throughout their career as she has earned this year.

It took more than an hour to get a general understanding of the reward plan of each department under the collective, Simon remembered one thing, and said to Amy: "Remind everyone when cashing out the dividend, this money is best used to subscribe for the company's stock, ipo There will definitely be good returns in the future.”

Internal subscription before a company goes public is also a practice.

Almost no one is optimistic about the prospect of Daenerys Entertainment's IPO. The price of internal subscription is definitely lower than the issue price. As long as the stock can be obtained, it will be an additional income directly after the listing.

Amy nodded with a smile, and joked again:

"Boss, can I also subscribe?"

The pencil in Simon's hand turned around and said, "As long as you have some spare money after paying taxes, of course you can."

The stock dividends that Amy will cash out next year also need to pay personal income tax. According to the scale of her income, it is estimated that it is not enough to drain all the cash in her hands, and may need to make up for it through loans.

Of course Amy knew her problem, shrugged regretfully, and said, "It seems that I have no chance."

This is really just a joke.

Although there will definitely be a certain share of subscription from the top executives down to the employees, but Amy has no intention of taking such a small advantage of the stock worth several million dollars at most. After all, the total amount of internal subscriptions at that time is fixed. Instead of taking all the benefits through loans, it is better to distribute your subscription shares to company employees, so that you can get more potential benefits.

Thinking of this, Simon's unintentional pen-turning action just now made Amy notice a series of pencil-drawn letters on the document paper in front of him, and asked curiously, "What is that?"

Simon didn't hide it, held up the folder and showed it to Amy.

Amy subconsciously said: "Westerosian (Westeros)."

"Yeah, Westeros," Simon nodded, flattening the document again, and said, "I've been thinking about this recently."

Linked to the annual dividend plan of Daenerys Entertainment still in hand, Amy quickly understood the meaning of the word Simon.

The Westeros system has risen like a miracle over the years, and it is now at the level of a chaebol empire. However, this young man in front of him was not satisfied, and even planned to create a new economy alone, and everyone in this economy formed a class of its own, a class called 'westerosian'.

Thinking of this, Amy couldn't help being a little excited.

Because she is also one of the important creators of this new economy, a typical Westeros.

"Understood?" Simon smiled and looked at Amy's increasingly bright eyes, asked softly, and then continued: "So, this time the dividend plan is just the beginning, next, all the Westeros system will be Companies will push for higher salaries and benefit plans, and I want all the people who work for the Westeros system to have the best life possible. Of course, this is only the most basic. The key lies in the cultural awareness of the entire system. Construction, I hope that in the future any member of the Westeros system can be proud to be a 'westerosian', I hope that everyone outside the Westerosian system will take becoming a 'westerosian' as their life goal, I hope 'westerosian' will eventually become a powerful being that can control the world."

For many days to come, Amy continued to haunt the word 'westerosian' and Simon's words that day, and in the more distant days became a witness to Simon's words being fulfilled one by one.

The week leading up to Christmas passed quickly in an increasingly festive atmosphere.

From December 10th to December 16th, "The Lion King" remained strong. The fourth week of its release, the box office drop narrowed to 23%, with a revenue of 25.63 million US dollars and a cumulative box office of 181.29 million US dollars, ranking second only to the annual list. "Superman" in the summer.

In its third week of release, "Mission Impossible" ranked second in the weekly box office list, with a weekly drop of 25%, with a revenue of 21.99 million US dollars, and a cumulative box office of 97.68 million US dollars, which is about to break 100 million.

The third place on the list, "Skinny Daddy", fell directly to $8.23 million in a single week, with a weekly decline of 27%, with a cumulative box office of $56.22 million.

Clint Eastwood and Kevin Costner's new film "Perfect World" ranked fourth, down 21% in a single week, taking in $5.39 million and a cumulative box office of $22.31 million.

The fourth place is basically some old films before Thanksgiving.

Among them, "Gronimo", which was released at the same time as "The Lion King" by Columbia Pictures, only had $1.62 million at the box office in a single week, ranking seventh on the list.

"Schindler's List", which opened on December 10, earned $1.19 million with 25 screens, ranking ninth on the list, with an average of $47,600 in a single week.

December 17, a new week.

In order to avoid the December 24th "Cyberbones", the North American theater chain released seven new films this week, three of which were large-scale commercial films.

Disney's "Nuns Are Crazy 2" can be said to be the most watched one, with 1,938 screens.

Warner Bros. produced the comedy "Forget About Friends" starring veteran actor Jack Lemmon, with 1,672 screens.

MGM produced "Philadelphia Story," starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, with 1,317 screens.

Among the other four small-scale screening films, there is also a "In the Name of the Father" by Gaomen Pictures. This feature film starring Daniel Day-Lewis has 13 screens.

As the flagship of Disney's end-of-year schedule, "Nuns Are Crazy 2" has high expectations.

Too bad it didn't work out.

After the opening of "Nuns Are Crazy 2", both word of mouth and box office failed to show the potential of the first film. This small blockbuster with a production budget of 38 million US dollars made only 7.56 million US dollars in the first weekend and three days. Not even half of what Disney expected.

Considering that the real blockbuster "Cyborg" will be intercepted next, the film's total North American box office potential is very high.

Probably only around $30 million, not enough for Disney to recoup its costs.

Moreover, the overseas box office potential of black comedies is limited. "Nuns Are Crazy 2" failed at the North American box office, and basically there will be no overseas revenue. Disney's total budget for the production and publicity of this project has reached 55 million US dollars, which is now destined to be Ended up with a loss.

Warner Bros. comedy "Forget About Friends" is destined to be just a foil for the end of the year.

However, MGM's "Philadelphia Story" became the only one of the new films this week to earn more than $10 million in its first weekend due to its excellent media reputation after its release and the addition of Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. 's video.

Because of the weak performance of the new film market, the benefits of entering the Christmas audience to increase the box office volume and rebound almost all fell on a few heavyweight films in the Thanksgiving period.

Therefore, from December 17th to December 24th, "The Lion King" continued to hold the top position of the box office list with a weekly box office decline of 11%. In the fifth week of its release, it made another 28.39 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office reached 209.68 million. 10,000 US dollars, officially breaking the 200 million US dollar mark, and became the second domestic box office to exceed 200 million US dollars in 1993. At the same time, it is steadily advancing towards the 300 million US dollar box office.

Daenerys and Paramount's "Mission Impossible" also achieved a 16% reverse decline this week. The box office rebounded to $25.53 million in the fourth week of its release, and the cumulative box office exceeded the $100 million mark, reaching 123.21 million Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

MGM's "Philadelphia Story" ranked third on the list, with $13.67 million in seven days in its first week.

Considering the long-term nature of the film's award-winning nature and its budget of $26 million, the $13.67 million opening week is also a good one.

Disney's "Nuns Are Crazy 2" took in $11.21 million in its first week and seven days, ranking fourth, and the defeat is set.

The fifth place is Fox Film's "Skinny Daddy" starring Robin Williams, which has the highest decline this week, reaching 25%, and the box office rebounded to the 10 million US dollar mark, reaching 10.32 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office increased to At $66.54 million, considering that there will be a good harvest in a single week of Christmas next week, the possibility of the film entering the billion-dollar club increases again.

In terms of other new films, Warner Bros.' "Forget About Friends" earned only $4.61 million in the first week, which is basically the end of the next two weeks.

Although Gaomen Pictures' "In the Name of the Father" once again encountered the sniping of traditional paper media in word of mouth, the comprehensive score of the media is still as high as 8.6 points.

Moreover, with the six nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Screenplay in the new Golden Globe Awards on December 20, "Because of the Father The fame of "Fame" has greatly increased. Relying on the proficient genre film promotion strategy of the Gaomen Films team, the film's first-week exhibition average reached 29,000 US dollars, and the income was 380,000 US dollars.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to "Schindler's List", which is almost a smash hit in the awards season, Daenerys Entertainment's "The Lion King" also won the new Golden Globe as an animated film. Nominated for Best Picture in the Musical Comedy category.
