Before Don could speak, Penelope Cruz playfully hooked the corners of his mouth and said in a soft tone: "Man, it's greed!"

When the two first met three years ago, Penelope Cruz was so restrained in front of Don that he was nervous to speak, and he was cautious to accompany him.

Today, three years later, she has long been reborn, her temperament and demeanor are a little detached, and she is like Nicole Kidman, with a bit of a big star style and full of confidence.

Don took her hand and walked to the office area in the back.

"What?"

"Go to the bedroom. ”

"What are you doing in the bedroom?"

Don was amused and angry, "What are you talking about going to the bedroom? We haven't seen each other in over three months." ”

Penelope Cruz pursed her lips and smiled, pulling the hair from her ears, "Call my sister too?"

"Huh?" Don was a little surprised, "It's not necessary, right? ”

"No, how long have we known each other? Besides, if you really want to be nice to me, be nice to my sister. Penelope Cruz's eyes flickered, and his soft voice was like a warbler's cry.

Don pulled her to the bedroom, feeling a little emotional: "You are so good to Monica." ”

"She's my sister, isn't that normal?"

"It's not normal, even if it's a sister, you can't share a man, right?"

"Poof!"

Penelope Cruz smiled coquettishly, and the flowers trembled.

"Laughing at what?"

"You're still a man, aren't you?"

Tang En had a black line in his head, and said angrily: "I'm not a man, if I'm not a man, who is still a man?"

Penelope Cruz knew that he was speechless, and quickly explained, "I mean...... You're not your average man. Ordinary men, of course, can't share, and neither can their own sisters. ”

Tang En shook his head and said, "The reason is not good!"

Penelope Cruz pursed her lips and said: "Women can't share men with each other because of jealousy, because of the uniqueness of love." You're my good friend, but not my boyfriend, and there's no love entanglement. Besides, who would dare to be jealous of a man like you?

Seeing that Tang En was silent, she added: "You have so many women, instead of giving up opportunities to those messy women, it is better to create opportunities for my sister, this is called competition for favor, do you understand? Forget it, you don't understand women's minds at all." ”

Don almost understood, no longer too entangled, in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Then call Monica over?"

"Okay!"

"Will it be too late?"

"How come?" Penelope Cruz's eyes widened and he immediately shook his head, "We can flirt slowly and wait for her slowly." Besides, didn't you say you hurt that Australian model? I'll wash it up, let's try it?"

Don En laughed and said, "You're not afraid of getting hurt?"

Penelope Cruz gave him a coquettish look, "Okay, let's call, call my sister, don't waste time!"

……

2003 is definitely the year of the rise of New Globe Group!

As of December 25th, on the North American box office list of Hollywood movies, New Globe Group's movies can be called dominant!

Pixar's "Finding Nemo," $340 million;

Warner Bros.'s The Matrix 2, $280 million;

Don Films' Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, $260 million;

Universal's "The Impostor," $240 million;

Rose Pictures' "Gone Girl," $230 million;

Twentieth Century Fox's X-Men 2, $210 million;

Marvel Studios' Daredevil, $210 million;

Marvel Studios' "Ant-Man," $200 million;

……

In addition, "Castle Adventure", "National Treasure", "Pentium Era", "Fast and Furious", and "American Pie 3: American Wedding" have also exceeded $100 million at the North American box office.

So far, of the 38 films released by New Globe Group this year, the total North American box office has reached $3.14 billion!

What is this concept?

At this time, the total box office in North America in 2003 was 9.23 billion US dollars.

New Universal Group occupies more than one-third of the North American box office market share!

As for the total global box office...... This year, New Globe Group received a total of $8.75 billion.

There is no doubt that this is the highest annual box office record in Hollywood's history.

As for the second place...... It was the new global group last year, which reached $7.63 billion.

At the beginning of the year, the Entertainment Division's revenue target was $9.5 billion.

At that time, when Don En proposed it, it also caused a lot of controversy, thinking that this amount was too large and difficult to achieve.

However, it now seems that this goal has been set...... It's too low!

This year, the film and television entertainment department has a revenue of 4.2 billion US dollars at the box office of the film market alone!

In addition, the home entertainment business generated revenue of $3.93 billion, the music business revenue of $1.95 billion, and the television business revenue of $2.27 billion......

The year-end summary has been completed, and the total revenue of the film and television entertainment department this year has reached $12.35 billion!

That's 30% more than the expected $9.5 billion!

The pre-tax profit reached a terrifying $3.06 billion!

Among them, the business with the highest profit margin is the business of Global TV, "American Idol", "Truth or Dare", "Wisdom and Bravery", "The Bachelor", "Flyover", "Universal Supermodel Competition", "The Walking Dead" These TV shows are really a weapon to attract money.

With just over 600 employees, Universal Television has created a value of $2.27 billion and a pre-tax profit of $1.42 billion!

Universal Music Group has 7,000 employees worldwide, generates a value of $1.95 billion, and a pre-tax profit of $450 million, which is not bad.

Doug Morris, the head of Universal Music, has already said that this year's music business is still in a turbulent period of consolidation, with too much spending. After the integration of part of the business of EMI Records acquired this year, next year's output value and profit will be significantly improved.

In contrast, the profit margin of film, the blockbuster industry of the film and entertainment department, is far less high than that of television and music.

The box office of movies and the revenue of home entertainment reached 8.13 billion US dollars, but this part of the section has a total of more than 38,000 employees around the world.

The output value is 8.13 billion US dollars, and the pre-tax profit is only 1.19 billion US dollars.

Of course, this also has to do with the common practice of film companies.

When making a movie, if it generates profits, it is often necessary to give a large part of the dividends to the union, to the creative team, and to the relevant foundations, which is the rule of Hollywood.

There are some big-name directors and celebrities, and they will even list them separately in the contract, asking for dividends.

In order to reduce this part of the dividend expenditure, film companies usually have such a system, that is, the salary of the company's management is spent in the film revenue.

In other words, the basic salaries of a series of executives of New Globe Group, such as Done Walker, Barry Diller, Robert Iger, Bill McNick, Shirley Lansing, etc., are deducted from the film revenue, not from the group's total revenue.

This naturally reduces the profit of the film business, and thus reduces a lot of proportional dividend expenses.

For another example, if Netflix wants to fight a subsidy war, it will also obtain subsidies from the film business. The movie needs to be promoted, and advertising on Netflix will naturally be borne by the movie.

For example, donations to the Women's Rights Protection Foundation, political donations to Schwarzenegger, expenses for various official activities, and expenses for company planes and cars are also endorsed by the film business.

For all these reasons, it is normal for the film business to have a low profit margin.

In fact, everyone knows that the money-making power of movies is much stronger than that of music and TV!

Otherwise, Legendary Pictures would not have been so prosperous.

However, squeezing movie profits is the practice of film companies!

Lowering the profit margin of the film business is beneficial to the company's overall revenue.

"Hahahaha!"

At the year-end summary meeting of New Globe Group, Bill McNick, the head of the film and television entertainment department, laughed the happiest and most unscrupulous.

Raise your eyebrows!

He knew that Don had great ambitions, and had high expectations for the Interactive Entertainment Department, the Television Media Department, and the Tourism and Consumer Goods Department, and spared no effort to squeeze the resources of the Film and Entertainment Department to promote the growth of other departments.

But so what?

The Film & Entertainment Department is the golden sign of New Universal!

The annual revenue is 12.35 billion US dollars, and the profit is 3.06 billion US dollars!

Crowning the new world!

As soon as such data came out, the heads of other departments immediately lowered their momentum.

Joyfully!

"Bill, you don't have to be so excited. Everyone knows what is going on in the film and television entertainment department, it is the direct jurisdiction of Donn!" "Barry Diller wants to maintain order in the company and balance the power of various departments, and it is impossible to let Bill McNick's family dominate.

"yes, so what?" Bill McNick shook his head and smug, "Even if Don En is the biggest hero of the film and television entertainment department, I can be regarded as the second hero, right? Enough, haha, enough!"

Listening to his tone, it seems that as the second hero of the film and television entertainment department, he is also much more glorious than the first hero of several other major departments.

The data is the proof!

Barry Diller was displeased: "The foundation of the New Globe Group was originally the film and television entertainment business. It is completely reasonable for the film and television entertainment department to have such a performance. Bill, calm down!"

He's not mad at Bill McNick.

The main thing is to balance the mentality of several other department heads.

After all, compared with the film and television entertainment department, the performance of several other departments is too different!

Jeff Zucker's TV Media Department is doing well, and with the booming development of the STA TV network this year and the steady success of the USA TV Network, the performance of the TV Media Department is also reasonable.

STA had revenues of $2.25 billion and profits of $970 million, while USA networks had revenues of $3.28 billion and profits of $460 million.

The total revenue of $5.63 billion is slightly higher than the target of $5 billion at the beginning of the year, but it is still not comparable to the data of the film and television entertainment department that exceeds 30%.

As for the interactive entertainment department......

Well, in the conference room, Kevin Turner couldn't hold his head up in shame. (https:)
