Chapter 585 (1/2)

The box office sales of DC movie universe's five consecutive projects have strengthened Denise Entertainment's control over the series.

Terry Semel didn't plan to fight for control here today, but he didn't just accompany Simon to check the production progress of Batman: the rise of the dark knight and suicide squad.

”Don't you think, Simon, that the universe of DC movies can be speeded up?” Terry Semel said at the end of his talk about the hero of suicide squad

It's a question of the same old tune.

Besides the DC movie universe project, danilisi entertainment has also created super blockbusters such as Jurassic Park and Lion King, but Warner is not so lucky. In recent years, its movie business has largely relied on the profits generated by DC movie universe.

This year's two Superman and steel, next year's two Batman: the rise of the dark knight and the suicide squad have made Simon feel a little hasty. In history, Warner only released four big Batman movies ten years before the millennium, starting with Tim Burton's first Batman.

Simon can't agree with Warner's proposal to speed up the universe of DC movies again, and Terry Semel knows Simon can't agree.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing off Terry Semel, Simon didn't leave work as usual, and rushed to the district office to continue to discuss with Amy about the end of the year employee compensation scheme of danielis entertainment.

After the merger of MCA, although there was a big layoff at the beginning, after the expansion in the last two years, the total staff size of the entire danilisi entertainment group, not counting the subsidiary with a shareholding ratio of less than 50%, such as blockbuster, has rapidly expanded to 21000.

With the coming year, the group's revenue and profits continue to reach new highs. Danielis entertainment once again plans a big year-end bonus plan this year. Only for employees below the non core management level, the total bonus scale will reach US $500 million. On average, each employee will get an additional salary reward of up to half a year.

In addition, Amy Pascal, Robert egger, Nancy Brill and other core management pay plans have another calculation, which is naturally more generous.

The average salary of Denise Entertainment's employees is the highest in Hollywood. With the news of the big dividend plan, the resumes received by the recruitment positions of the group's departments have soared several times in a short time.

In Simon's office in district one.

Amy Pascal and Simon are discussing the initial dividend plan of the personnel department, but they can't help thinking about their own affairs.

Starting from March 1987, the initial four-year term to the extended three-year contract, a total of seven years, has witnessed the rise of Denise entertainment group step by step, and Amy herself will get a very terrible return.

Not to mention the past six years, but this year, according to the preliminary statistics of the financial department, even if the employees are given a large amount of cash dividends, the net profit scale of danilisi entertainment group this year will reach a terrible level of $2 billion.

Just at the end of last year, the Jurassic Park brought more than 600 million US dollars of pre tax net income to Denise entertainment in terms of local release, overseas distribution and peripheral sales in 1993. The film, television, games, music, publishing, cinema, retail, theme park and other businesses of the whole group are the powerful locomotive of the film department They are all in a state of prosperity.

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

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 have not been cashed in the past six years.

Her boss has personally promised that she can cash in her stock award at 30% of the IPO valuation of Denise entertainment. By the end of next year's contract, all the seven-year stock awards will be realized, and Denise entertainment has successfully completed its IPO. Amy feels that she will certainly be able to occupy a very good position in next year's Forbes rich list as a $1 billion rich person.

A billion dollars.

Every time she thought about it, Amy felt like she was in a dream.

The leaders of traditional Hollywood film companies, such as Steve Ross, who has passed away, or Lou wassalman, who retired after selling MCA, have been struggling in Hollywood all their lives and have not been able to accumulate such wealth. At this stage, the executives of the same level as her in Hollywood may not earn as much as her in this year .

It took more than an hour to get a general understanding of the reward schemes of various departments under the collective. Simon remembered one thing and said to Amy, ”when cashing in the dividend, please remind us that this money is best used to subscribe for the company's shares. After the IPO, we can definitely get good profits.”The internal subscription before the listing is also a convention.

Now almost no one is not optimistic about the IPO prospect of danielis entertainment. The internal subscription price is certainly lower than the issue price. As long as you can get the stock, it will be an additional income directly after the listing.

Amy nodded with a smile and joked, ”boss, can I subscribe, too?”

Simon turned his pencil around and said, ”as long as you have spare money after paying taxes, of course you can.”

Amy needs to pay personal income tax for the stock dividends she cashes next year. According to the scale of her income, it is estimated that it is not enough to drain all the cash in her hands, and it may need to be made up by loans.

Amy, of course, knew her problem. She shrugged regretfully and said, ”I don't think I have a chance.”

It's really just a joke.

Although there will be a certain amount of shares that can be subscribed by all the executives and employees, Amy has no plan to take advantage of the shares worth millions of dollars at most. After all, there is a certain amount of internal subscription at that time. Instead of taking up all the benefits through loans, it's better to distribute your subscription share to the company's employees, so that you can get more potential benefits.

With this in mind, Simon just inadvertently turned his pen so that Amy noticed a string of pencil letters on the paper in front of him and said curiously, ”what's that?”

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

Amy said subconsciously, ”westerosian.”

”Yes, the Westeros,” Simon nodded, flattening the file, and said, ”I've been thinking about it lately.”
