Heads Up Hollywood

Because of the serious failure of "Jedi Men 2", Sony Pictures' board of directors quickly made adjustments, fired the original chairman of the board and CEO John Carley, and hired the famous manager Michael Linton from AOL Time Warner , Let him lead Sony Pictures back to the top.

As we all know, Disney under the leadership of Michael Eisner is the cradle of entertainment industry managers.

The same is true for Michael Linton, who worked for 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 Time Warner as CEO of AOL Europe, AOL Entertainment and Time Warner Entertainment.

Now, being poached by Sony with a lot of money to take charge of Sony Pictures is a pinnacle in life.

In contrast, Amy Pascal, who has made significant contributions to Sony Pictures, was not promoted because of her involvement in "Bad Boys 2".

You know, with the resignation of John Carley and the rise of Michael Linton, many executives of Sony Pictures are facing a major reshuffle!

Amy Pascal, as the chairman and CEO of Columbia Pictures, is also a vice president of Sony Pictures, is he qualified enough?

In fact, there is no chance.

She is just a woman.

Her annual salary...is less than half a million dollars. (Later, she became the chairman of the board of directors of Sony Pictures, with an annual salary of only 750,000 US dollars. Hollywood is very oppressive to female employees.)

To say there is no resentment would be a lie.

Until this evening, Tang En invited her to dinner.

Amy Pascal is 45 years old this year. It can be seen that her beauty is slowly losing. The weather and wrinkles on her face can no longer stimulate men's hormones.

However, after the vicissitudes of life, it is the wisdom of life.

Tang En has too many beauties, too many to play with.

What he needs more is a female helper.

Amy Pascal is without a doubt a great choice.

"Just such a casual restaurant? I thought you would invite me to your yacht." Amy Pascal was a smart person, and she had already guessed Tang En's intentions.

Tang En joked, "Yachts are for parties, and restaurants are for business talks."

Amy Pascal shook her head helplessly, "If it was twenty years ago, I would rather go to a yacht to discuss business."

Tang En knew that she was a great beauty back then, but now that she was no longer beautiful, she was in no mood to joke anymore. He called the waiter, ordered two special dishes, ordered a bottle of red wine, and said, "Annie Have you heard about Hathaway?"

"That Italian liar?" Amy Pascal blinked and said with a half-smile, "If I'm not wrong, you must be the one behind this."

Tang En rolled his eyes, "What do you mean being a ghost? I'm doing harm for the people!"

Amy Pascal said with a smile: "Yes, to eliminate harm for the people! That liar put his hand into the entertainment industry, so he should be taught a lesson. This is called maintaining the stability of the entertainment industry."

Tang En sighed, and said: "It's a pity that a person's power is limited after all. Annie is my friend, so I can know about this and find out the strangeness. However, the entertainment industry is so big, actresses With so many, how can I protect each of them by myself?"

Amy Pascal caught something in his words and glanced at him.

Tang En said again: "It's nothing more than male actors. I'm most worried about female actors. They are beautiful, but naive. They are good at what they do, and their understanding of society... may not be as good as that of a high school student. It is conceivable that if Without me, Annie would definitely be deceived, and the result... I'm afraid it would be unimaginable."

Amy Pascal was silent for a while, shook her head and said: "The general environment is like this, women... are originally accessories of men, especially in Hollywood."

"So now feminism is booming." Tang 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 I need 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. Every year, no less than 20 million US dollars will be allocated to protect and improve women's legal rights. Of course , mainly facing the entertainment industry. This will be an organization that integrates investigation, rights protection, protection, and assistance."

As a woman, as a professional woman who was severely squeezed by the Hollywood system, Amy Pascal immediately expressed a strong interest in Tang En's statement.

"You want me to be a part of this?"

Amy Pascal was very excited and very jealous.

Tang En said: "The current plan, Ms. Shirley Lansing, will be the chairman of the association, and Nina Jacobson, Katherine Kennedy, and Tosca Musk will be the vice-chairmen. Of course , if you are willing to join, the position of vice chairman is also yours. In addition, we will also absorb Natalie Portman, Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman, Sofia Copper Laura, Penelope Cruz and some other well-known women in Hollywood participated as directors."

Hearing this lineup, Amy Pascal immediately understood.

To put it bluntly, this association is a tool completely controlled by Tang En.

At first, Amy Pascal was quite surprised.

Tang En wanted to protect the rights of women in the entertainment industry, and he was the first to bear the brunt.

He is the biggest beneficiary of Hollywood's unspoken rules!

With that said, she understood.

Twain's tool, it's impossible for him to target himself, right?

Of course, anyway, it's a happy event.

The New Universal Group spends 20 million US dollars every year to protect women who are bullied in the entertainment circle, which is definitely a great deed of great merit.

Amy Pascal sighed softly and raised his glass, "Twain, let me toast you."

Tang En smiled, clinked glasses with her, and drank it down.

Amy Pascal put down her wine glass, lowered her head, and was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "To be honest, I have no excuse for refusing. It is my honor to work with Ms. Shirley Lansing."

Tang En was overjoyed, and couldn't help laughing: "Amy, to be honest, as early as five years ago, I thought of poaching you from Columbia Pictures. It's just that Tang En Pictures was too weak at that time. Fortunately, like-minded people people, always walk the same road.”

Amy Pascal glanced at him, and said lightly: "I just said that I can join this association and serve as the vice chairman. As for whether I will work for New Global..."

Tang En had already made up his mind, waved his hands, and said domineeringly: "Universal Pictures!"

"What?"

Amy Pascal's eyes widened.

Tang En smiled and said: "As long as you change jobs, the position of chairman and CEO of Universal Pictures is yours."

Amy Pascal said in surprise: "If I remember correctly...it's not Mr. Long Meyer..."

Tang En said lightly: "Barry Diller thinks that his forte is not film production, so he has already adjusted his job position."

"this……"

Amy Pascal was immersed in shock and did not recover for a long time.

The current Universal Pictures is very different from the Universal Pictures of previous years.

Many of its companies and departments have been split off to form new companies. The current Universal Pictures, like Tang En Pictures, Rose Pictures, and Marvel Pictures, is an independent film company, 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 it produces... no less than 30 films every year.

It can be said to be the most powerful film company.

If Amy Pascal jumps over, she will be the second most powerful female executive in the film and television entertainment department under Shirley Lansing.

Before she could react, Tang En said again: "Inside the New Universal Group, we are implementing an equal pay plan for equal work. This is also a major purpose of the New Universal Women's Defense Fund Association. If you join Universal Pictures, your Basic annual salary..."

"How many?"

"It's going to be $2.8 million!"

Hearing Tang En's words, Amy Pascal's face almost twisted.

That's six times her annual salary at Columbia Pictures!

The so-called equal pay for equal work means that if female employees do the same work and make the same contributions as male employees, they should be able to receive the same remuneration.

Sounds egalitarian.

However, in Hollywood, this is an unattainable fantasy.

Tang En wanted to pursue the "equal pay for equal work" plan, not only because he wanted to firmly uphold the label of a feminist on himself, but also because he had no choice but to do so.

The industry of New Global Group has gradually expanded in Silicon Valley.

Not only Netflix, Blizzard, Dolby Laboratories, but also Facebook, which 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 salary strategy.

The remuneration committee of New Universal Group is not only composed of people from the film and television entertainment department, but also includes some financial planners from Silicon Valley.

You can't just target Hollywood's female staff like a split personality, right?

If this is exposed, it will blow up the sky!

In this case, it is better to take the initiative and give up the benefits.

You can also sell a good one among the majority of female friends.

Make a good impression.

Tang En would never make a loss-making business.

Amy Pascal couldn't find a reason to refuse Tang En's offer, and nodded slightly.

Running Universal Pictures...should be more respectable than running Columbia Pictures, right?

At least the box office revenue will be much better.

Tang En asked, "Is there any trouble with your contract?"

Amy Pascal's face turned hot, she was a little embarrassed, and said: "If I resign, I won't be able to get the dividend of about 1.7 million US dollars this year."

Tang En waved his hand grandly, "Don't worry, I'll give it to you! Forget it, round it up, add another 300,000 US dollars, and it will be used as a signing fee!"

Amy Pascal nearly cried.

I wish I could finish my resignation tomorrow and join New Universal!
