Several of the people present are smart people, and what Mike Medova can think of, everyone naturally expects it. Considering the upcoming public turmoil, the atmosphere could not help but go silent.

After a while, Simon was the first to speak, pulling everyone back from their thoughts to reality, saying: "Everyone, there is no need to be too stressed. What we need to do now is to try our best to solve the problem. As for the result, leave it to God. . Well, Pat, you're more experienced in this, so go ahead."

As Simon spoke, everyone else relaxed a little.

Pat Kingsley rearranged her thoughts and said, "Simon, although it is not suitable to respond to the New York Times article immediately, we must also participate immediately to avoid the following one-sided public opinion. situation."

Simon thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's it, let's muddy the water first."

The other three followed Simon's description of "turbulent water", and they also showed clear expressions, and they couldn't help but feel that this analogy seemed more appropriate.

The current situation is clear.

Questioning voices have emerged. Simon responded immediately and provided evidence that "Lola Run" was indeed filmed by him. Under the manipulation of people with intentions, the result was destined to usher in more doubts. But if you don't respond, the one-sided questioning will only make the situation collapse, and you will not be able to explain it at that time.

Then, the best way is to stand behind the scenes and respond to those doubts indirectly through the media, turning the original pure doubts into disputes, or even a debate about whether "Lola Run" is Simon West. Lowe's media discussion. When the controversy lasted for a period of time and the topic cooled down, Simon personally came forward to provide a series of sufficiently solid evidence, and the storm would pass through peacefully.

Now that the strategy is finalized, the next thing will be much easier. After continuing to discuss for nearly an hour, everyone came up with a preliminary response plan.

All that's left is execution.

If it was before the release of "Lola Run", Simon might not be able to fight back in the media.

But at this time, due to the box office explosion of "Lola Run" and the release of "Butterfly Effect", whether it is WMA, Orion Pictures, or 20th Century Fox, which is backed by the behemoth News Corporation, will Bet enough PR resources on him.

And, even without the help of these aspects, Simon's newly hired PR manager, Pat Kingsley, has no shortage of media connections.

This woman has been in the media public relations profession since the 1960s. After the assassination of Reagan, it was with the help of Pat Kingsley that Jodie Foster survived the difficult period of being bombarded by the media and gradually resumed her acting career. .

Now, with the joint efforts of several forces, even just when everyone was discussing the detailed response plan, several press releases that tried to "join in the fun" were stopped.

It was so busy until noon, and after lunch, everyone did not leave.

The evening news in North America is usually released at two o'clock in the afternoon, and information has been sent back from the East Coast, and Pat Kingsley and others are still busy analyzing and responding. Simon took the time to bring Amy Pascal to the railing on the edge of the cliff in the backyard.

Leaning on the railing, facing the warm afternoon wind, I enjoy looking at the blue sea under the warm spring sun. After a while, Amy Pascal opened her slightly squinted eyes, looked at the relaxed young man beside her, and said, "Simon, several newspapers in New York have already responded, and things are obviously what we expected. Also, aren't you worried at all?"

The world has never been self-cleaning. Just like Michael Jackson couldn't clear his pedophile suspicion even when he died, because he couldn't clear it.

Simon nodded: "I'm really worried. However, what should be done has to continue. So, Amy, how are you thinking?"

Amy recalled the contact with Simon in the past few days. She stopped looking at the seascape in the distance, turned slightly sideways, looked at the young man beside her, and said, "Seriously, Simon, I haven't thought about it clearly. My intuition is Tell me, I should say yes, because you're a man capable of doing miracles. But my sanity discourages me, it's crazy to make such a decision, I need to give up the position I fought for seven years to get, Start from scratch."

When Simon heard the words, he also turned sideways, looked at Amy seriously for a moment, and suddenly stretched out a hand to her: "Come."

Amy was a little confused, but she involuntarily reached out her right hand to meet her, and was immediately held by a warm and powerful hand.

"Look, you've already made a decision, haven't you?" Simon smiled, held Amy's hand slightly, and released it in Amy's somewhat surprised eyes, saying, "Just now, a psychology student The test, since you have made a catering response, it shows that your heart has actually agreed."

Amy looked at her slightly raised arm in confusion, then looked at Simon again, her eyes gradually brightened, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Simon, is there really such a psychological test?"

Simon was stared at by Amy for only a second, then shrugged and said, "Well, I made it up."

Amy suddenly laughed, and the more she thought about it, the more amusing she became, and finally she even fell on the railing, burying her face in her arms and laughing.

After more than a minute like this, Amy raised her head again, her face still flushed with the flush accumulated after laughing, and looked at the big boy beside her, there was

Su suddenly asked: "Simon, besides the basic salary, what kind of reward terms do you plan to give me?"

Simon replied without hesitation: "You will handle 5% of the net profit of all projects in the next two years."

Amy's eyes flashed, and she asked, "What about two years later?"

Simon gave another plan in a blink of an eye, saying: "Or, 5% of Daenerys Pictures' annual net profit will remain the same two years later."

Amy seemed to be chasing after him, and said, "Is there any difference between the two?"

Simon shook his head and said, "This, I don't know either, because there must be a lot of details involved. In the end, maybe there are more of the former and maybe more of the latter."

In fact, both parties are well aware of the distribution results of the two programs.

These are two common compensation schemes in Hollywood.

However, the former is more suitable for ordinary senior executives of film companies. As many projects as they are responsible for, they will get as much commission. Even if they leave their jobs, they can still get a share from the operation of related projects. The latter is more suitable for the head of the film company, who is in charge of the overall situation and naturally benefits from the overall situation. Of course, once resignation, the two sides will have no interest relationship.

Amy stopped questioning this time, her eyes regained her shrewdness, she thought for a moment, and said, "Simon, two years is too short, I don't think it can do much. So, I can sign with you for four years, with a basic salary of 250,000 yuan. US dollars, 5% of Daenerys Pictures' annual net profit. At the same time, after four years, whether I leave or not, I will receive an equity award equal to the amount of net profit I have received in the previous four years. In addition, here In four years, if something happens that makes it impossible for me to continue this job, I have the right to choose to leave after one month's advance notice. As compensation for breach of contract, I forfeit the salary and bonus for the year, as well as the final equity award clause. But if you voluntarily terminate the contract with me during these four years, I will need to receive a one-time cash compensation of $1 million, as well as the corresponding equity awards after the original four-year contract period after the net profit obtained before the termination of the contract."

Simon listened intently to Amy's words, and reached out without hesitation: "Deal."

Amy didn't expect Simon to agree so simply, but she also quickly reached out and said with a smile, "May we have a good cooperation, boss."

After shaking hands, Simon said again: "If Fox needs liquidated damages, I can also pay for you."

"No," Amy shook her head and said, "However, it will take a month for me to start the job. Of course, if I can get Mr. Goldberg's understanding, it may not take a month."

Simon thought of the resignation clause that Amy had just proposed, understood it, and said, "No problem."

"Also," Amy said again, "Simon, after I join, you must pay me a year's basic salary in advance."

Simon nodded again: "It's natural."

The people at the villa are still busy dealing with this crisis of public opinion. When the matter was settled, Simon wanted to go back, but seeing that Amy did not return, he continued to accompany him and leaned against the railing again.

After thinking about it, Simon took the initiative to find another topic and said, "Amy, I'm curious, why did you suddenly agree again?"

Amy looked at the distant seascape again with great enjoyment, and said, "Simon, do you know what your biggest feeling was for me in the past few days?"

"Um?"

Amy said directly: "A workaholic, and a workaholic like a robot. Starting last Wednesday, for three whole days, we have been talking about work and fighting for the various contract details of "Death is Coming". Saturday. 's party, you're trying to woo me, not ideals, just pros and cons, still a businesslike, workaholic tone. Until this morning, when we met again, we were still talking about work. Seriously, Simon, that Saturday night I've been thinking about your offer since then, and I'm getting more and more excited. But at the same time, I can't help but wonder, is it really the right choice to work for someone like you? Simon, I'm not disgusted with workaholics , I myself worked very hard, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am now. But I don't like working on a cold machine."

"I understand that there must be a 'then' for this kind of thing," Simon nodded solemnly before continuing: "Then what?"

Amy laughed again, squinted Simon, and said, "Then, you just used that inexplicable psychological test to coax me as if you had nothing to do, and I found out that you are just a big boy after all, maybe, you should still be a very good one. Interesting person."

"It's not supposed to, it's the truth, you'll understand after getting along for a long time," Simon answered without modesty, hesitated, and then cautiously said: "Amy, although you don't like talking about work, but you don't think so. Do you think that if you can get out the news that you are about to join Daenerys Pictures as soon as possible, it will definitely help this incident?"

Amy looked at Simon's pretending to be careful, rolled her eyes, let go of the railing and said, "Let's go over there, I'll call Mr. Goldberg first. Now that a decision has been made, Fox's side I definitely can't be in charge of the rest of "Death Is Coming"."
