All of you here are smart people. What Mike medova can think of is naturally expected. Considering the impending public opinion storm, the atmosphere can't help being silent.
A moment later, Simon spoke again and said, "you guys, there's no need to put too much pressure on me. What we have to do now is to try our best to solve the problem. As for the result, leave it to God. Well, pat, you have more experience in this field. You can say it first
As Simon spoke, the others relaxed a little.
Pat Kingsley rearranged her thinking and said, "Simon, it's not suitable to respond to the New York Times article right away, but we must also participate immediately to avoid the one-sided public opinion situation."
Simon thought a little, then nodded and said, "that's it. Let's mix up the water first."
The other three followed Simon's description of "muddle up the water" with a clear expression. They could not help but feel that the metaphor was more appropriate.
The situation is clear.
Voices of doubt have emerged. Simon immediately responded, providing evidence to prove that "Lola Run" was actually made by him. Under the control of intentional people, the result is bound to usher in more doubts. But if we don't respond, the one-sided query will only bring the situation to a collapse, and we can't explain it clearly at that time.
Well, the best way is for us to stand behind the scenes and respond to those queries indirectly through the media, turning the original pure query into a controversy, or even a big media discussion about whether "Lola Run" was shot by Simon westrow or not. ".
When the controversy lasts for a period of time and the topic cools down, Simon will personally provide a series of solid enough evidence, and the storm will pass smoothly.
Now that the strategy is finalized, the next thing will be much easier. After continuing the discussion for nearly an hour, the public came up with a preliminary plan to deal with it.
The rest is execution.
If it was before the release of "Lola Run," Simon might not be able to fight back in the media.
But at this time, due to the box office explosion of "Lola Run" and the imminent release of "Butterfly Effect", wma, Orion film, and 20th century fox, backed by News Corporation, will bet enough public relations resources on him.
Moreover, even without the help of these aspects, pat Kingsley, the public relations manager Simon just hired, has no lack of media contacts.
This woman has been engaged in media PR since the 1960s. After the Reagan assassination, it was with the help of Pat Kingsley that Judy foster survived the difficult period of media bombardment and gradually resumed her acting career.
Now, with the joint efforts of several forces, even just as people were discussing the detailed response plan, several press releases trying to "join in the fun" have been stopped.
So busy until noon, after lunch, people did not leave.
North American evening papers are usually published at 2 p.m., and information has been sent back from the east coast. Pat Kingsley and others are still busy analyzing and responding. Simon took time to take Amy Pascal to the railing on the cliff in the backyard.
Leaning on the railings, facing the afternoon breeze, I enjoy looking at the blue sea under the warm spring sun. A moment later, Amy Pascal opened her eyes, looked at the relaxed young man beside her, and said, "Simon, several newspapers over there in New York have responded. It's obviously the same as we expected. Aren't you worried at all?"
The world has never been self-cleaning. Just as Michael Jackson could not get rid of his suspicion of pedophilia until he died, because he couldn't get rid of it.
Simon nodded and said, "I'm really worried. However, what should be done should continue. So, Amy, what are you thinking about? "
Amy recalled her contact with Simon in recent days. Instead of looking at the distant sea view, she leaned slightly to look at the young man beside her and said, "seriously, Simon, I haven't thought about it yet. My intuition tells me that I should promise, because you are a guy who can create miracles. But my reason dissuades me. It's crazy to make such a decision. I need to give up the position I've been fighting for seven years and start all over again. "
Simon smell speech, the same side body, seriously looked at Amy for a moment, suddenly stretched out a hand to her: "come on."
Amy didn't know why, but she couldn't help extending her right hand to meet her. Then she was held by a warm and powerful hand.
"Look, you've made a decision, haven't you?" Simon smiles, takes Amy's hand and makes a little effort. Then he releases it in Amy's surprised eyes and says, "it's just a little psychological test. Since you have made a catering response, it shows that your heart has actually agreed."
Amy looked at her slightly raised arm in bewilderment, and then looked at Simon again. Her eyes gradually brightened, and her face showed a smile. She said, "Simon, do you really have such a psychological test?"Simon, who was watched by Amy for only one second, shrugged and said, "well, I made it up."
Amy immediately laughed. The more she thought about it, the more funny she felt. Finally, she even fell on the railing, buried her face in her arms and laughed.
It took more than a minute for Amy to raise her head again. With a flush of laughter on her face, she looked at the big boy beside her and suddenly asked, "Simon, besides the basic salary, what kind of reward terms are you going to give me?"
Simon replied without a second thought, "5% of the net profit of all the projects you handle in the next two years."
Amy's eyes flashed and asked, "what about two years later?"
Simon came up with another plan in the twinkling of an eye, saying, "or 5% of Denise pictures' annual net profit will remain the same after two years."
Amy seemed to be chasing after her, and said, "what's the difference between the two?"
Simon shook his head and said, "well, I don't know, because there must be a lot of details. In the end, maybe more of the former, maybe more of the latter. "
In fact, both sides are fully aware of the distribution results of the two plans.
These are the two common salary schemes in Hollywood.
However, the former is more suitable for the ordinary senior executives of film companies. They can get the Commission as many projects as they are responsible for. Even if they leave, they can still get the share from the operation of related projects. The latter is more suitable for the head of the film company, who is in charge of the overall situation and naturally gains profits from the overall situation. Of course, once they leave, there will be no interest relationship between them.
Amy stopped questioning this time. Her eyes returned to shrewd. She thought quickly for a moment and then said, "Simon, two years is too short. I don't think it can do much. So I can sign with you for four years with a base salary of $250000, which is 5% of the annual net profit of Denise pictures. At the same time, after four years, no matter whether I leave or not, I will get an equity award equivalent to the amount of net profit sharing I obtained in the previous four years. In addition, in the past four years, I have the right to choose to leave after one month's notice in case of any change that makes me unable to continue this job. As compensation for breach of contract, I give up the salary and bonus of that year, as well as the final equity award terms. But if you voluntarily terminate the contract with me in these four years, I need to get a one-time cash compensation of US $1 million, as well as the corresponding equity award after the original four-year contract period from the net profit before termination. "
Simon listened attentively to Amy, reached over without hesitation and said, "deal."
Amy didn't expect that Simon would agree so simply, but she also quickly reached over and said with a smile, "may we have a good cooperation, boss."
After shaking hands, Simon said: "if fox needs liquidated damages, I can also help you pay."
"No," Amy said, shaking her head, "but I need a month to get in. Of course, if we can get Mr. Goldberg's understanding, it may not take a month. "
Simon thought of Amy's resignation clause, understood it and said, "no problem."
"And then," Amy said, "Simon, you have to pay me a year's base salary in advance after I'm employed."
Simon nodded again: "it's natural."
People on the other side of the villa are still busy coping with the crisis of public opinion. When the matter was settled, Simon wanted to go back. Seeing that Amy didn't return, he continued to accompany him and leaned against the railing again.
After thinking about it, Simon took the initiative to find a topic and said, "Amy, I'm very curious. Why did you suddenly agree again?"
Amy looked at the sea view again and said, "Simon, do you know what I felt the most about you in the past few days?"
"Well?"
Amy said directly: "workaholic, and a robot like workaholic. Since last Wednesday, we have been talking about work for three days, arguing for various contract details of "death is coming". Saturday's party, you try to attract me, not talk about ideal, just talk about the pros and cons, is still a kind of business workaholic tone. Until this morning, when we met again, we were still talking about work. Seriously, Simon, I've been thinking about your solicitation since Saturday night, and it's getting more and more exciting. But at the same time, I can't help thinking, is it really a right choice to work for a person like you? Simon, I don't hate workaholics. I work very hard myself, but I don't like working for a cold machine. "
"I know there's going to be a" then "in this kind of thing," Simon nodded solemnly, and then said, "and then?"
Amy laughed again, gave Simon a squint, and said, "then, just as if you had nothing to do, you used that kind of inexplicable psychological test to coax me. I found out that you are only a big boy after all. Maybe, you should still be a very interesting person."
"No, that's what it is," Simon said with a little hesitation. "Amy, although you don't like talking about work, do you think it will be helpful to let out the news that you are going to join Denise pictures as soon as possible?"Amy, looking at Simon's pretense of caution, rolled his eyes, loosened the railing and said, "let's go over there. I'll call Mr. Goldberg first. Now that the decision has been made, I can't be responsible for the rest of fox's "death is coming."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
