Chapter 520: Old Fool

"I haven't settled accounts with him about "Six Feet Under" last year, and now I'm coming with me again. Tang En snorted coldly, his face unkind, "Especially the significance of this drinking party...... Everybody understands that he's here to fight me, is he trying to give me a fight?"

Tosca Musk lowered his voice, "Or I can run it, the second season of "American Idol" will not be broadcast on CBS, it can be changed to ABC or FOX." ”

Tang En groaned and shook his head, "Don't be in a hurry, give Lei Shidong a while to see his reaction." ”

He has just acquired assets such as Universal Pictures and USA Television Network, and has not yet integrated.

The most important thing right now is to stabilize the overall situation and avoid management turmoil.

If "American Idol" is really removed from CBS, then Lei Shidong will have to go crazy!

"American Idol" brought nearly $700 million in revenue to Down Pictures, and BS only brought a lot more because of this show.

Shotime is just a trivial matter, and the rebroadcast copyright of "Six Feet Under 2" is far less important to Lei Shidong. But if Lei Shidong's financial route is interrupted in CBS, this old guy will definitely not give up.

Of course, Don is no longer afraid.

If Lei Shidong really turned his face, then Tang En would not admit it, so he would do it anyway!

In his previous life, Viacom and Disney were both defeated.

In this life, if Don and Disney cooperate, they can't destroy Lei Shidong?

"By the way, one more thing. Tosca Musk's face changed slightly, "The heads of several of Hollywood's biggest studios were present, except for two." ”

"Who?"

Don En's face was pale and very serious.

If you don't show up at this time, you will completely lose face.

"Harvey Weinstein of Miramax and John Kali of Sony Pictures. Tosca Musk replied softly.

Don En groaned slightly.

Harvey Weinstein is reasonable, and the whole of Hollywood knows that Donn is very unpleasant to Harvey Weinstein, and this fat man is Kirk Douglas's dogleg.

Even if he came, Don En would definitely not give him a good face.

But John Cali is strange, as the chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures, he didn't come to Donn's "enthronement reception"?

Do you look down on Donn, or do you look down on the strength of "Down Pictures + Universal Pictures"?

Old foolish, right?

"But Ms. Pascal, the head of Columbia Pictures, is here, and she apologized to me just now. Tosca Musk said slowly.

Tang En thought for a moment and waved his hand, "Call her over." ”

Five minutes later, Amy Pascal came over, and Don ended his greetings with Barry Meyer, Bruce Berman and several other Warner executives.

"Don, do you have something to do with me?"

"Oh, Amy, it's not a big deal, it's just weird, I don't seem to see Mr. John Cali. ”

Amy Pascal's face tightened, and he said stiffly: "He is in his 70s and does not have enough energy. ”

"Really?" Donn glanced at her, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Lei Shidong are both older than him, right?"

Amy Pascal was speechless.

Don didn't beat around the bush anymore, and asked directly: "Does he have an opinion about me?" I remember...... I've never offended him, have I?"

Amy Pascal hesitated for a moment and said with a bitter face: "Donn, you know, because of "Jedi Men 2", Will Smith and Sony Pictures fell out. Will even said that he would not appear in "Men in Black 3" again. ”

"Men in Black 2" produced by Sony Pictures will be released on July 3 and will be released tomorrow, and it will begin to move to the videotape and DVD markets to recoup funds as soon as possible.

This film has a North American box office of 190 million and an overseas box office of 250 million.

The total investment is 140 million, and the total box office is 440 million.

This result may not be eye-catching, but for Sony Pictures, it is already a beautiful result.

At a time when Sony was mired in a false account crisis and its stock plummeted, Sony urgently needed to be rescued through the entertainment industry.

But at this time, Sony Pictures and Will Smith had a conflict, and even refused to star in "Men in Black 3", which shows the depth of the contradiction.

Don said with an unchanged face: "The crew of "Jedi Men 2" replaced Will Smith with Bruce Willis, it has nothing to do with me, right? The culprits are Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay. And I've kindly reminded you a long time ago, don't use those two people, they're outdated!"

Amy Pascal shook her head, "John Cali thinks that it was because you suppressed Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay in the industry that Will Smith was afraid and didn't want to work with the two of them. also directly led to a major conflict in the crew of "Jedi Men 2", which led to the project having to change the actor. ”

Don almost didn't laugh out loud, there was such an explanation.

Amy Pascal sighed and said, "Mr. Cali is very unhappy with you, he thinks that you are the one who caused the conflict between Will Smith and Sony Pictures. ”

Don sneered, "It's really reasonable! This John Cali, I think he's an old fool, right? After the box office fiasco of "Jedi Men 2", see how he steps down!"

Amy Pascal's face was ugly.

"What's going on?"

"I'm in charge of Jedi Men 2. ”

"Huh?" Donn was a little surprised, "I heard that John Cali forced this project in the first place, and that he specifically approved the dismissal of Will Smith. ”

Amy Pascal was helpless, "Maybe he's too old to oversee the film project himself." ”

Don said sarcastically: "Old, I think it's a shirk of responsibility! Amy, it's not me who said, John Cali, the movie level is not very good, but the scheming is a top trick, you are fooled!"

"There's no way around it. Amy Pascal seemed to be very open-minded, "I can become the head of Columbia Pictures, because of his support." ”

Don looked at her deeply, "Amy, in my opinion, in the whole of Hollywood, among all female executives, you are in the top three. ”

Amy Pascal smiled softly, "Thank you." ”

"To be honest, Hollywood's oppression of women is so cruel, not only female producers, female directors, actresses, but also female executives. In contrast, female executives at Down Pictures are lucky. Don said lightly.

Amy Pascal barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

It's the big picture, it's not something she can decide.

Paramount's chairman of the board of directors and CEO, Shirley Lansing, has an annual salary of $850,000.

Amy Pascal's annual salary is only $500,000, and even if you include performance bonuses, she earns more than $3 million a year.

There is no comparison with male executives.

Don smiled mysteriously and whispered to her, "In the whole of Hollywood, there are only three female managers with an annual salary of more than $1 million." One is Nina Jacobson, one is Katherine Kennedy, one is Tosca Musk, they have one thing in common, do you know what it is?"

"It's all your subordinates. ”

Amy Pascal bit her lip, her face unwilling. ()
