Chapter 356: Offensive and defensive alliance

In an office in the Fox Tower, Century City, Los Angeles.
Chris Meldandeli looked at the subordinates opposite and confirmed again: "Mary, Eric, Chris. Would you rather leave Fox than go to the Blue Sky Studio? Bain and the others are ready to join Blue Sky. ."
The three are two men and one woman. Chris Leonard is the oldest, and Mary Claire and Eric Veron are young men under thirty.
They are also a group of backbone forces after Chris Mailer Dandeli created Fox Animation.
Chris Reynard said first: "I know some people have moved to Blue Sky Studio to continue animation production, but I..." He shook his head somewhat helplessly: "Boss, you know my situation, my family is in Los Angeles, it’s impossible to go to New York to work in Blue Sky Studio."
Chris Mailer Dandeli can only nod his head. When people reach middle age, a lot of reality lies here, especially when they have a family and children, they no longer have the capital to be willful.
"Where are you two?" He looked at the two young men.
These three people are backbones, and each of them has a small team. It is impossible for people in the team to stay, but as the leader of the team, Fox will still pay more attention to it and provide the opportunity to join Blue Sky Studio.
Among the four teams of Fox Animation, Bain and his deputy have chosen to join Blue Sky.
Chris Mailer Dandeli couldn't do much, but he won some opportunities for the key members who have been following him.
Eric Veron glanced at Mary Claire, nodded slightly when he saw the latter, and said: "I don't want to go to the blue sky. Going to a new city means that I have to give up everything in Los Angeles. What about the people under me? Do? They have followed me for years."
Chris Leonard and Mary Claire looked at Chris Mailer Dandeli at the same time, and Chris Mailer Dandeli said directly: "I can't help it. This is a decision made by the Murdoch family. Fox Animation will be disbanded, and then a new Fox Animation will be formed based on Blue Sky Studio."
Eric Veron shook his head: "Boss, I won't go to the blue sky. I can always find other opportunities in Los Angeles."
Chris Mailer Dandley looked at Mary Claire last: "How about you?"
Mary Claire pushed up her thick black-rimmed glasses and said: "I don't want to go to a competitor's company as a loser."
Chris Mailer Dandeli sighed. These three people and the team they led, the backbone of Fox Animation, are about to be lost.
He can understand the choice of these three, and also understand the decision of the Murdoch family to intervene.
After all, for a commercial company, departments and teams that cannot create profits are worthless.
Not only did Fox Animation fail to create value for Fox in the 20th century, last year's "Frozen Planet" also caused serious losses.
On the other hand, Blue Sky Studio, "Ice Age" performed well. Someone has already compared Blue Sky Studio with Pixar Studios and DreamWorks Animation Studios.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and Chris Mehler Dandeli no longer persuaded him, opened the drawer, took out three cards, put them at the desk, and said,
Leaving Fox Animation, you need to find a new job. They are rare talents in this field, and it is best to continue to develop in this field."
Eric Veron smiled: "Boss, we will continue to stay in this industry."
In fact, they don't blame Chris Mailer Dandley, the boss is just the head of a certain department of Fox, who is unable to fight against high-level decisions, and also won new opportunities for them.
Chris Mailer Dandeli nodded slightly and continued: "This is the contact information of Ronan Anderson, the boss of Relativity Entertainment. His company is preparing to set up an animation production department and needs talents in this area. And I and Luo Nan Anderson himself has talked a few times, and this is a very thoughtful and reliable young producer."
He looked at the three subordinates: "You know Ronan Anderson, right?"
"I know." Chris Leonard said: "The producer of "The Bourne" and "Reaper Is Coming", his Relativity Entertainment has developed rapidly in recent years, and he has a production company and a distribution company. ."
Eric Veron and Mary Claire are typical technical directors who rarely care about anything other than animation production. They have also heard of Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment, but they don't understand them very well.
Chris Mailer Dandeli is a nostalgic person and wants a good place for his old men, so he contacted Ronan several times to deepen his understanding. He added at this time: "Relativity Entertainment has a very good momentum of development. It has gradually approached the forefront in Hollywood second-tier companies. If you are interested in talking with Ronan Anderson, you can call him directly."
Chris Leonard knew a little bit about Ronan and Relativity Entertainment, and was the first to take the card from the desk and put it in his pocket.
In any case, this is an opportunity, and it is not bad to go to a rapidly growing mid-range company.
It is a good choice for a middle-aged man like him who can stay in Hollywood and continue to do the work he likes.
For Chris Mailer Dandeli, Chris Leonard is still grateful, the boss is a nostalgic person after all, and he has done what he can do, it is impossible to ask him to do more.
Eric Veron and Mary Claire hesitated, and put away the cards.
The three left Chris Mailer Dandeli's office together and walked towards the office area. The news that Fox Animation was about to disband had already spread, and everyone was panicked.
"Are Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment well-known?" Eric Veron asked Chris Leonard.
"The past few years have been very powerful, with many super hit movies released." Chris Leonard told the truth: "Ronan Anderson is known as the youngest billionaire in Hollywood."
Mary Claire asked, "What about Lionsgate?"
Chris Leonard knew these two colleagues and friends, and had never cared much about things other than his job and interests. He couldn't help but glance at Mary Claire and replied: "The two are completely incomparable."
Eric Veron further asked: "Lionsgate is much worse than Relativity Entertainment."
Chris Leonard replied: "As far as I know, the performance of Relativity Entertainment in recent years is several times that of Lionsgate."
Before entering the office area, Eric Veron said suddenly: "People from Lionsgate, they contacted us two days ago. They are also planning to establish an animation production department and want us to join Lionsgate."
Mary Claire said: "Lionsgate has offered us very good conditions." She asked directly: "Chris, what do you think?"
Compared to these two young people who are obsessed with technology, Chris Leonard is more knowledgeable and thinks more: "Let's find a place to chat."
The three of them didn't go to the office area, and turned into a lounge with no one next to them.
"Mary, Eric, it is a foregone conclusion that we will leave Fox." Chris Leonard has known the two for many years and the relationship has been good. He said directly: "We need to find a new job, and some companies may take the initiative to contact us. , But I think we should not separate."
Eric Veron said: "Chris, your experience and experience are far beyond ours. Any suggestions?"
Chris Reynard said very seriously: "Animation production is our best asset, but action production has a characteristic, which is very dependent on the cooperation of a mature team, and it cannot be done by one or a few people. So , Our greatest value now lies not only in the technology we master, but also in the team of three of us and dozens of people."
Mary Claire is only focused on technology and does not lack IQ: "I understand what you mean."
"Next, we will appease the people under our team and try our best to ensure the integrity of the team." Chris Leonard obviously has already considered: "The more complete the team, the more conditions we can achieve. it is good."
Eric Veron said: "What you said is very reasonable. If we are separated, just a single employee engaged in certain production techniques, the value will be greatly reduced, but our three teams get together, UU Reading www.uukanshu .com has the ability to produce an animated feature film."
Chris Leonard added: "We are looking for a new home as a team, and we can definitely get better conditions."
Mary Claire nodded: "I agree."
Eric Veron then said: "I agree too."
The three quickly reached an offensive and defensive alliance, and there was nothing to consider about this kind of thing.
Chris Reynard asked: "Apart from Lionsgate, are there any other companies contacting you?"
Mary Claire shook her head: "No more."
Eric Veron also said, "No."
Chris Leonard took out the card in his hand and said: "There is also this relativity entertainment. The boss has contacted Ronan Anderson. His recommendation should be more reliable."
Eric Veron and Mary Claire understand what the boss is and agree with Chris Leonard.
"What are we going to do?" Mary Claire asked.
Eric Veron also looked at Chris Renard.
"You keep in touch with Lionsgate. Don't break contact with them. This is also an opportunity." Chris Leonard flipped the card in his hand and said: "I will contact Ronan Anderson first. Look at the sincerity of Relativity Entertainment."
"Good." Eric Veron agreed.
Mary Claire also had no objection.
The three of them left the recreation room and returned to the work area. They first comforted their team and explained the situation. As long as anyone with a stupid head knows that the strength of the unity is stronger, it is also conducive to setting conditions for the new owner. .
Chris Leonard finished this, dialed the phone on the card, and contacted the owner of the phone.
