Chapter 520： old confused

"Last year's "Under Six Feet", I haven't asked him to settle the account, and now I'm here with me again." Tang En snorted coldly, looking bad, "Especially the meaning of this reception... Everyone understands, Is he here to compete with me, is he trying to disarm me?"

Tosca Musk lowered his voice, "Why don't I run it, the second season of "American Idol" will not be broadcast on cbs, and either abc or fox will do."

Tang En pondered for a while and shook his head, "Don't worry, give Lei Shidong some time to see his reaction."

He has just acquired properties such as Universal Pictures, USA TV Network, etc., and has not yet integrated.

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

If "American Idol" is really withdrawn from cbs, then Redstone will go crazy!

"American Idol" brought in nearly $700 million in revenue to Dunn Pictures, and the telecommunications share alone is close to $100 million. The income brought by cbs because of this program is only more or less.

It's just a trivial matter, the rebroadcast copyright of "Six Feet Under 2" is far less important to Redstone. But if Redstone's fortune is interrupted in CBS, this old guy will never give up.

Of course, now Dunn is no longer afraid.

If Lei Shidong really turned his face, then Tang En wouldn't admit it, and if it's a big deal, just do it!

In the past life, Viacom and Disney lost both.

In this life, if Dunn cooperates with Disney, will Redstone still be destroyed?

"By the way, there is one more thing." Tosca Musk's face changed slightly, "The heads of several of Hollywood's largest film companies are present, except for two."

"Who?"

Tang En's face froze, very serious.

If you don't show up at such a time, that's a complete loss of face.

"Harvey Weinstein from Miramax and John Carley from Sony Pictures," Tosca Musk replied softly.

Tang En revealed a dash of indifference.

Harvey Weinstein is reasonable, and the whole Hollywood knows that Dunn is very unpleasant to Harvey Weinstein. This fat man is Kirk Douglas's dog leg.

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

But John Carley is strange. As the chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures, he didn't come to attend Dunn's "Enthronement Reception"?

Do you despise Tang En, or do you despise the strength of "Tang En Pictures + Universal Pictures" joining forces?

Are you confused?

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

Tang En thought for a while, then waved his hand, "Call her over."

5 minutes later, Amy Pascal came over, and Dunn also ended his chat with several Warner executives such as Barry Mayer and Bruce Berman.

"Dang En, do you have something to call me?"

"Oh, Amy? Huh, no big deal, just weird, I don't seem to see Mr. John Carley."

Amy Pascal's face tightened, and she said bravely: "He is in his 70s and doesn't have enough energy."

"Really?" Dunn glanced at her, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Redstone are older than him, aren't they?"

Amy Pascal was speechless.

Tang En stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "Does he have an opinion on me? I remember... I never offended him, right?"

Amy Pascal hesitated for a moment, and said with a sullen face: "Dawn, you know, because of "Jedi Men 2", Will Smith and Sony Pictures fell out. Will even said, He won't be in Men in Black 3 again."

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

The film grossed 190 million in North America and 250 million overseas.

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 very beautiful result.

At a time when Sony was in a crisis of fake accounts and stocks plummeted, Sony urgently needed to be rescued by 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.

Dunn said without changing his face: "The "Jedi Boys 2" crew replaced Will Smith with Bruce Willis, it has nothing to do with me, right? The culprits are Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay. I kindly reminded you, don't use those two people, they are out of date!"

Amy Pascal shook her head, "John Carley thinks it's because you've crushed Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay in the industry that Will Smith is scared and doesn't want to work with them. It also directly led to a major contradiction in the crew of "Jedi Men 2", which led to the project having to replace the male lead."

Dunn almost didn't laugh, there was such an explanation.

Amy Pascal sighed: "Mr. Cali is very dissatisfied with you. He thinks that you caused the conflict between Will Smith and Sony Pictures."

Dunn sneered, "It's really justifiable! This John Carley, I think he's old and confused? After the box office failure of "Jedi Boys 2", let's see how he steps down!"

Amy Pascal looked ugly.

"what happened?"

"I'm in charge of Jedi Boys 2."

"Ah?" Dunn was a little strange, "I heard that this project was forcibly promoted by John Carley? And he specially approved the firing of Will SmithAmy Pascal Very helpless, "Maybe he is too old and doesn't have the energy to personally supervise film projects. "

Dunn said sarcastically: "You're getting old? I think it's shirk responsibility! Amy, it's not me, John Carley, whose film level is not very good, but he is the best at playing tricks. be cheated!"

"There's nothing I can do." Amy Pascal seemed to be very open. "I can become the head of Columbia Pictures because of his support."

Dunn looked at her deeply, "Amy, in my opinion, throughout Hollywood, among all female executives, your ability ranks among the top three."

Amy Pascal smiled softly, "Thank you."

"To be honest, Hollywood's oppression of women is too cruel, not only female producers, female directors, actresses, but also female executives. In contrast, the female executives of Dunn Pictures are lucky." Tang En said lightly.

Amy Pascal forced a smile.

This is the general environment, not something she can decide.

Paramount's chairman, 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, her annual income is more than $3 million.

There is no comparison with male executives.

Dunn showed a mysterious smile and told her quietly, "In the whole of Hollywood, there are only three female executives with an annual salary of more than $1 million. One is Nina Jacobson, one is Katherine Kennedy, and the other 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 with an unwilling look on her face.
