After receiving the memo from Alan, the two went to the meeting room together. Eric asked in a low voice: "How is that happening?"

Alan also lowered his voice: "It ’s all done. The candidates for Director Renny Harlin and Heroine Geena Davis have been revealed to Bruce Evans, but we also succeeded in making him realize that someone is very fancy with script of" Cutthroat Island ". Do n’t rush, I ’m in a stalemate with the staff we sent out. Updates are quick and quick, and there are other people who are beginning to inquire about script of "Cutthroat Island", who should be Robert. "

Eric nodded at ease, pushed open the door of the meeting room, and the two walked in together.

The main topic of this meeting today is a summary of the one-year work of Firefly.

From the beginning of the year to the present, only Ghost and Sleeping with the Enemy films have been produced by Firefly Inc., but the achievements in the film distribution are very dazzling. These are "Ghost", "Sleeping with the Enemy", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and 《The Silence of the Lambs》. All four films have achieved Box Office 100 million. In addition, Firefly also released several independent Production Studio small production films in the off-season of the film, which also brought small profits.

Although the holiday season at the end of the year has just begun, the total North America local Box Office has exceeded 5billion USD in 1990, but the total Box Office achieved by Firefly this year is only a little more than 600 million, accounting for 12% of the local Box Office share. Although this figure is much worse than the Box Office score obtained by Eric last year, if you think about it carefully, you will find a huge difference. This year's score was obtained under the independent release of Firefly. Last year, Eric's Almost all of the films are distributed by the seven major agents. Even if the profits are very strong, it is just a pure production company.

After a year of integration with the new line, Firefly has already had the prototype of the big Film Studio with complete production distribution channels like the Seventh Congress, although it still has a gap with the old seventh Film Studio in terms of heritage. But the share of Box Office has exceeded 10% of Paramount Pictures. As for Metro Goldwyn Mayer, it is far behind, ranking sixth among all Film Studio in Hollywood.

In terms of TV production, the 《Friends》, independently produced by Firefly, still leads the way in autumn ratings. "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" this variety show is well received.

"X-Files", which was broadcast simultaneously with 《Friends》 in September, also received an average number of 17 million viewers. Although this result is much worse than 《Friends》, the main audience of "X-Files" is concentrated among young people aged 16 to 30, not All age comedy like 《Friends》, so this result is also very good.

Not to mention. Because of the very concentrated viewing age, "X-Files" is more favored by advertising companies. Advertising revenue is more than 20% higher than the TV series with the same viewing rate.

In addition, the company has made considerable progress in the video tape and overseas distribution business. The video tape distribution department has established cooperation with video tape rental giant PepsiCo. Through the overseas distribution operations of several films such as "Ghost", Firefly has also established its own branches in several major ticket warehouse countries such as Britain, France and Australia.

Business development means a lot of capital investment. Therefore, the net profit of the first three quarters of Firefly is only 100 million more than 60 million. After Carloyn Elliot finished the financial report, Eric announced to face all employees of Firefly. The total amount reaches the dividend plan of 20 million USD.

In a low cheer, only Robert Shay frowned slightly. This dividend plan Robert was also known in advance. After the proposal was proposed, Robert Shay expressed opposition, but Eric used its Chairman power to pass the plan. .

At this time, when I heard the announcement of Eric again, Robert Shay still felt very uncomfortable. He felt that Eric was too generous,

After all, the 20 million USD is taken out, which means that his shareholder dividends will be reduced by 5 million USD. In order to produce "Ghost Detective". Robert Shay financed 30 million USD by collateralizing his assets. Now that the movie has failed, he has to use his dividend at the end of the year to repay the debt, so. 5 million USD is also a very large loss for Robert Shay.

Thinking about it, Robert suddenly heard Eric continue to say: "Now, we start the next issue, regarding the dismissal of Mr. Robert Shay ’s Firefly CEO position."

In an instant, Robert Shay almost thought that he had heard it wrong, but when he saw the strange atmosphere of the meeting room quieting down and the strange eyes of all the executives looking at him. Robert Shay first felt a coolness between his backs, and then there was extreme anger. He suddenly stood up and pointed at Eric and shouted: "Eric Williams, do you know what you are doing?"

Eric did not answer immediately, but looked at the others in the meeting room: "You go out first, I will talk with Robert alone."

The voice fell, and everyone in the meeting room, including Robert Shay's subordinates, all stood up quietly and walked out of the office.

Robert Shay waved his arms excitedly and sneered: "I don't need to talk to you alone, there is nothing you can't hear, hello, Michael, Hardy, Reinas, you stay."

The original subordinates such as Michael Lynn named by Robert Shay stopped temporarily, looked at Eric and Robert, Michael Lynn sighed, and said: "Robert, please talk to Eric."

After that, several people walked out of the office.

Robert Shay sees the reactions of several lineages in his eyes and instantly realizes that Eric has already begun to deploy this matter, which makes him feel a fool of frustration and anger, if Eric is not a tall and strong young Young man, Robert Shay has almost rushed towards each other.

But he still growled: "I tell you, you will not succeed, you will pay the price, I am a shareholder of Firefly, I own a quarter of the shares, so you want to drive me away, Do n’t even think about it. "

After Robert Shay paused briefly, Eric interjected: "About the Firefly shares, I will recover it at a reasonable price, and I will not let you lose. In addition, I will also share the profit this year. Full payment to you. "(To be continued.) Xh118
