Chapter 283 (1/2)
”Batman” has begun the final stage of editing work, Simon is still busy in the late morning of the film, the afternoon is a half day release meeting.
Today is Monday, August 7th.
After the release of Uncle buck, the last new film on Friday, Denise Entertainment's summer release this year will officially end.
Up to now, Denise entertainment has released a total of 7 films this year, namely ”Thunderbolt Blue Angel”, ”metropolitan”, ”sisters”, ”ghost 2”, ”Sid sisters”, ”bodyguard” and ”the sixth sense”. Among them, only the two films ”bodyguard” and ”the sixth sense” are enough to support Denise Entertainment's annual performance There are also highlights in the films that have been shown.
Next, including uncle buck, there are still 10 films related to Denise entertainment waiting to be released in the second half of the year.
Among them, ”flying over innocence” and ”Batman” are released by Warner Bros., and the schedule is set for November 17 and December 22 respectively.
The other eight films, uncle buck, sweet sister, woman on the roof, angel miracle, scream 2, my left foot, gucci documentary and driving for Miss Daisy, are run by three brands of danielis entertainment, covering all five months in the second half of the year.
At the same time, because Denise entertainment has set up branches in major overseas ticket warehouse countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan and Australia, the overseas distribution of Denise entertainment has been continuously going on since the end of last year's four films ”scream”.
Overseas distribution in the second half of the year will focus on three summer films.
Burbank.
Denise entertainment division, 5 p.m., the end of a four hour meeting.
Most of the people started to leave from work. Simon and Ella doichman made an appointment to watch the sample of ”driving for Miss Daisy” and stayed for another two hours.
In the conference room.
Amy felt that Simon had been in a good mood since breakfast today. When the crowd dispersed, she called for Simon and motioned to Ella to leave first. She pulled the chair and sat down 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?”
”Well,” said Amy, after a little deliberation, ”Simon, REM came to see me this morning.”
Simon is generally aware of something and just signals Amy to continue.
Amy then said: ”I've heard that Sony intended to invite Bob to take charge of Samsung pictures after the acquisition, because Sony should have given up the idea about the recent 10 films. According to Bob, he doesn't ask for a raise any more. But he wants the company to help pay for a property he's interested in on the upper east side of Manhattan for $3 million
Robert REM's contract was just one year old at the end of July, and he received the full bonus of $3 million from the original contract last week.
Simon is also concerned about REM's actions.
If it wasn't for Sony's bid for 10 Movie spots for danelis entertainment, maybe REM would have resigned from Simon now.
Seeing Simon's fingers tapping on the table without giving an immediate response, Amy had to continue: ”Simon, compared with the $15 million bonus scheme for the creators of sixth sense, REM's demands are not excessive. His achievements in this year's work are obvious to all.”
The sixth sense is in its sixth week.
Last Friday, according to the company's step-by-step share plan with the cinema, danelis entertainment has recovered its first $106.13 million share of the $150.02 million box office from the previous four weeks. According to the global box office forecast of $600 million for sixth sense, the movie will only take part in the box office next, at least it will bring more than $150 million in share revenue for daenerys entertainment.
In addition to all costs, danielis entertainment will make a net profit of no less than US $220 million in the next year only through the release of ”sixth sense”, and the later video and TV broadcasting revenue will also be huge.
Based on the comprehensive calculation, the net profit contributed by sixth sense to Denise entertainment will not be less than $500 million in the whole profit cycle.
On the other hand, many recent events are changing Simon's ideas.
With billions of dollars of money hoarded overseas and a series of continuously increasing assets in the name of Westeros, Simon realized that although some things can't be implemented for the time being, the wealth he has now probably won't be spent all his life.
Then, Denise Entertainment's plan of 10 foreign films attracted Hollywood's enthusiastic pursuit, which made Simon understand that sometimes sharing benefits can not only protect himself, but also obtain unexpected power and more benefits.
The announcement of the 10 Movie plans instantly resolved WGA's investigation and prompted Orion to settle the delinquent share of ”vulgar novel”. MGM stopped mentioning the lawsuit of ”Rain Man”. Sony, which is about to complete its acquisition of Columbia, voluntarily gave up the plan to poach people from Denise entertainment. Last night at the party, Simon met with more eager stars than ever before It's about Danielle Reese entertainment and Simon's growing influence on Hollywood.Obviously, these are a kind of recessive power.
At the same time, although only half of the 10 films were invested by danielis entertainment, it also voluntarily gave up the income from distribution. But because of Simon's advantage of foresight, the project he selected should have been very successful. Now danielis entertainment has taken away nearly half of the income from other Hollywood studios.
In addition, yesterday's news that Steve Roth rewarded the ”lethal weapon” crew with sports cars also made Simon realize another truth: spending money is not just about buying physical objects, but also about spending money on people. It's also a kind of ”consumption”, and it can often get unexpected returns.
So Simon and Amy discussed an extra incentive plan for sixth sense at breakfast today, totaling $15 million.
Among them, De Niro is US $5 million. This award can make his total salary from the project reach the top US $10 million level in Hollywood. The other producers, directors and actors who play Cole are US $2 million, US $1 million, and the other supporting actors and film creators share the last US $5 million.
