Chapter 672 Equal Pay for Equal Work
Because of the serious failure of "Jedi Men 2", the board of directors of Sony Pictures quickly made adjustments, dismissed the former chairman of the board and CEO John Cali, and poached the famous manager Michael Linton from AOL Time Warner, so that he could lead Sony Pictures back to the top.
As we all know, Disney, helmed by Michael Eisner, is the cradle of entertainment industry managers.
The same is true for Michael Linton, who worked at Disney in his early years and was once highly valued by Michael Eisner.
But Disney had too many talents, so he was forced to leave.
In 2000, he joined AOL and served as the CEO of AOL Europe, AOL Entertainment and Time Warner Entertainment.
Now, being poached by Sony to take charge of Sony Pictures is a pinnacle in his life.
In contrast, Amy Pascal, who has made significant contributions to Sony Pictures, was not promoted because she was implicated in "Jedi Men 2".
You know, with the resignation of John Cali and the coming of Michael Linton, many executives of Sony Pictures are facing a major reshuffle!
Amy Pascal, as the chairman and CEO of Columbia Pictures, and the vice president of Sony Pictures, is always qualified, right?
In fact, there is no chance.
She's just a woman.
Her annual salary...... It's less than $500,000. (Later, she became the chairman of the board of directors of Sony Pictures, with an annual salary of only $750,000, and Hollywood oppresses female employees.) οΌ
To say that there is no resentment must be false.
Until this evening, Don invited her to dinner.
Amy Pascal is 45 years old this year, and it can be seen that her beauty is slowly losing, and the frost and wrinkles on her face can no longer stimulate men's hormones.
However, after the precipitation of vicissitudes, it is the wisdom of life.
There are so many beauties in Don that you can't play with them.
What he needs more is a female helper.
Amy Pascal is undoubtedly a great choice.
"Just a casual restaurant, I thought you'd ask me out to your yacht. "Amy Pascal is a smart man, and she's already guessed Donn's intentions.
Donn joked, "Yachts are for parties, and restaurants are for business." β
Amy Pascal shook her head helplessly, "If it had been twenty years ago, I would have preferred to go to the yacht to talk about business." β
Don knew that she was a great beauty back then, but now that she was no longer beautiful, she was not in the mood to joke more, so she called the waiter, simply ordered two special dishes, asked for a bottle of red wine, and said, "Have you heard about Anne Hathaway?"
"The Italian liar?" said Amy Pascal, blinking, and smirking, "if I'm not mistaken, you're the one behind this." β
Don En rolled his eyes, "What do you mean by messing with ghosts? I'm here to eliminate harm for the people!"
Amy Pascal said with a smile: "Yes, eliminate harm for the people! That liar has put his hand into the entertainment industry, and he should teach him a hard lesson, which is called maintaining the stability of the entertainment industry." β
Tang En sighed and said, "It's a pity that one person's strength is limited after all. Anne is my friend, so I can know about it and find out what's wrong. However, the entertainment industry is so big and there are so many actresses, how can I protect each of them by myself?"
Amy Pascal heard what he was saying and glanced at him.
Tang En said: "Male actors are fine, what I am most worried about is actresses." They are very beautiful, but they are very naΓ―ve, they are drunk and obsessed with their knowledge, and their perception of society is ...... Probably not as good as a high school student. It is conceivable that if it weren't for me, Anne would have been deceived, and the result would be ...... I'm afraid it's unimaginable. β
Amy Pascal was silent for a moment, shook her head and said, "The environment is like this, women...... It's meant to be an appendage of men, and this is especially true of Hollywood. β
"So now feminism is booming. Don En looked disapproving, "If you don't make some efforts, how can the status of women be changed?"
Amy Pascal blinked and looked at him intently, "What do you need me to do?"
Tang En said loudly: "I plan to set up a New Global Women's Rights Protection Foundation in the name of New Global Group, and I will allocate no less than 20 million US dollars every year to protect and improve the legitimate rights and interests of women." Of course, the main face is the entertainment industry. This will be an organization that integrates investigation, rights protection, protection, and assistance. β
As a woman, as a working woman who has been severely oppressed by the Hollywood system, Amy Pascal immediately expressed a strong interest in Done's statement.
"You want me to be a part of it?"
Amy Pascal is very excited, and her eyes are hot.
"The current plan, Ms. Shirley Lansing, will be the president of the association, and Nina Jacobson, Katherine Kennedy, and Toska Musk will be the vice presidents. Of course, if you are willing to join, the position of vice chairman also has your share. In addition, we will also include some well-known Hollywood women such as Natalie Portman, Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Coppola, Penelope Cruz, etc. β
Hearing this lineup, Amy Pascal immediately understood.
This association, to put it bluntly, is a tool completely controlled by Donn.
At first, Amy Pascal was quite surprised.
Don wants to protect the rights and interests of women in the entertainment industry, and the first thing he bears the brunt of is himself.
He is the biggest beneficiary of Hollywood's unspoken rules!
As soon as she said that, she understood.
Don's tools can't always target themselves, right?
Of course, in any case, this is a happy event.
New Globe Group devotes $20 million a year to protect women who are bullied in the entertainment industry, which is definitely a great merit.
Amy Pascal sighed softly and raised her glass, "Donne, I'll toast you." β
Don smiled, clinked glasses with her, and drank it all.
Amy Pascal put down her glass, lowered her head, and was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "To be honest, I don't have any excuse to refuse. It has been a privilege to work with Ms. Shirley Lansing. β
Don was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh: "Amy, to be honest, as early as five years ago, I thought about poaching you from Columbia Pictures. It's just that the strength of Tangen Pictures was too weak at that time. Fortunately, like-minded people always have to go the same way. β
Amy Pascal glanced at him and said lightly: "I just said that I can join this association and serve as the vice president, as for whether I will work at New Universal......"
Tang En had already thought about it, waved his hand, and said domineeringly: "Universal Pictures!"
"What?"
Amy Pascal's eyes widened.
Don smiled and said, "As long as you change jobs, the position of chairman and CEO of Universal Pictures is yours." β
Amy Pascal was surprised and said, "If I'm not mistaken...... That's not Mr. Ron Meyer......"
Donn said lightly: "Barry Diller thinks that his strength is not filmmaking, and has already adjusted his position. β
"This ......"
Amy Pascal was so shocked that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
The current Universal Pictures is very different from the Universal Pictures in previous years.
Many of its companies and departments have been spun off to form new companies. The current Universal Pictures, in fact, is an independent film company like Donn Pictures, Rose Pictures, and Marvel Studios, and the distribution of films must be handed over to Universal International Distribution Pictures.
The difference is that Universal Pictures is the largest production company under the New Universal Group and produces films every year...... There will be no less than 30 units.
It can be said that it is the most powerful film company.
If Amy Pascal had jumped ship, she would have been the second-most powerful female executive in the entertainment sector under Shirley Lansing.
Before she could react, Don added: "Within the New Global Group, we are implementing an equal pay program, which is also a major tenet of the New Global Women's Protection Fund Association. If you join Universal Pictures, your base annual salary ......"
"How much?"
"It's going to be $2.8 million!"
Hearing Donn's words, Amy Pascal's face almost distorted.
That's exactly six times her annual salary at Columbia Pictures!
The so-called equal pay for equal work means that female employees should be able to receive the same remuneration package if they do the same work and make the same contribution as male employees.
Sounds egalitarian.
However, in Hollywood, this is an unattainable fantasy.
Don's desire to pursue the "equal pay for equal work" plan is not only for him to firmly establish the label of a feminist on his body, but also as a kind of helplessness.
New Globe Group's industry has gradually expanded in Silicon Valley.
Not only Netflix, Blizzard, Dolby Laboratories, but also Facebook that is about to join in!
Companies in Silicon Valley have always been equal pay for equal work!
The same group company must pursue a consistent compensation strategy.
The remuneration committee of New Globe Group is not only composed of people from the film and television entertainment department, but also some financial accountants from Silicon Valley.
You can't just target female employees in Hollywood with a split personality, right?
If this is exposed, it can blow up the sky!
In this case, it is better to take the initiative and give up the benefits.
It can also be sold to the majority of women friends.
Make a good impression.
Don never trades at a loss.
Donn's offer, Amy Pascal couldn't find a reason to refuse, and nodded lightly.
At the helm of Universal Pictures...... It should be more decent than being at the helm of Columbia Pictures, right?
At least the box office revenue, it will be much better.
Donn asked, "Is there any trouble with your contract?"
Amy Pascal's face was hot, slightly embarrassed, and said: "If I resign, I won't get the dividend of about $1.7 million this year." β
Tang En waved his hand magnificently, "Don't worry, I'll give it to you! Forget it, let's make it whole, add another $300,000, and it will be used as a signing fee!"
Amy Pascal almost cried.
I can't wait to complete my resignation tomorrow and join New Global!
