Chapter 358: Join

"That's about it."
In the huge hotel conference room, facing Eric Veron and Mary Claire, as well as a group of colleagues, Chris Leonard detailed the meeting with Ronan and emphasized again: "I'll say it again. The two most important points are that Shahai Entertainment will set up a separate animation production department for us and give us a relatively high degree of freedom. It is only responsible to the top management of Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson."
Eric Veron and Mary Claire looked at each other. Such conditions can be said to be quite good.
Chris Leonard continued: "Second, after switching to Shahai Entertainment, our salary will increase to varying degrees, about 10% to 15%, and we will discuss the details later."
"Not bad." As a woman, Mary Claire is a little bit more emotional: "If we were to decentralize to other companies, we wouldn't be treated like this."
Eric Veron nodded slightly: "The conditions are better than Lionsgate."
Someone asked below: "How about the conditions at Lionsgate?"
"Otherwise, the most critical points are not satisfactory." Eric Veron said directly: "Lionsgate wants the three teams of us to join, but it doesn't need so many people. Lionsgate The overall situation of the industry is much worse than that of Relativity Entertainment. It is estimated that the participation of so many of us will bring huge salary and office pressure to Lionsgate."
He coughed and cleared his throat: "In terms of salary, they promise not to be less than our salary in Fox."
The following employees have already discussed that Lionsgate does not need so many manpower. If you really choose Lionsgate, it means that some people can only leave the team and find a way out individually. That treatment...
Mary Claire said immediately: "I tend to relativistically."
"me too!"
"me too……"
A voice of approval sounded.
After a brief discussion, everyone quickly reached an agreement. As the leader, Chris Leonard announced a temporary decision: "Our current first choice is Shahai Entertainment under the theory of relativity. Mary, Eric, and just now Several representatives who have finalized, you..."
The phone rang suddenly, and Chris Leonard got on the phone with a serious face. After putting away the phone, he said: "The boss is calling, this Wednesday, Fox will officially announce the dissolution of Fox Animation, and then negotiate with us to dismiss. related business."
Everyone is not surprised, after all, they knew that this day would come very early.
Chris Leonard continued with what he said earlier: "You and I will discuss with Shahai Entertainment. At the same time, we will go through the relevant procedures as soon as possible. Fox has nothing to miss."
No one can guarantee that the movie will be successful. They paid so much for Fox. Just because a movie failed, they were sentenced to death. The Murdoch family is too chilling.
I would rather buy an outside company with a lot of money than give myself another chance...
Chris Leonard sighed, no longer thinking about these annoying things, someone came over at this moment.
"Director Leonard." This person whispered, "The person from Bain's team asked if he could join us? You know, Bain and his deputy transferred to the Blue Sky Studio. The remaining colleagues can only Find a way out by yourself."
Chris Leonard said immediately: "It should be okay. You should say hello to them first, let them rest and relax, I will talk to Shahai Entertainment about this."
According to his contact with Ronan Anderson, Ronan Anderson will not refuse, because in this way, the Fox Animation team can almost completely transfer to Shahai Entertainment.
At the coffee shop near the Fox Tower in Century City, Navas calmly walked out of the glass door, his disappointment flashed by.
"Boss?" His assistant came over.
Navas shook his head slightly and said, "Let's go."
The assistant did not dare to ask more, so he called the driver to drive over.
Getting into the car, Navas recalled Ronan's polite and determined attitude, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Three years ago, Lionsgate needs to consider Ronan Anderson?
But in only three years, Ronan Anderson and his Relativity Entertainment, both in terms of performance and scale, have already surpassed Lionsgate, and have also pulled a long way apart.
Navas hasn’t complained about Ronan’s gratitude. When Lionsgate released a film for Ronan, it was the simplest commercial cooperation. Both parties were pursuing profits. Shahai Entertainment also paid tens of millions of dollars for the release. fee.
No one owes favor to anyone for such business matters.
But Navas still couldn't help thinking, if Lionsgate did not release the "Human Removal Project" back then, would there be no trouble today?
He thought about it carefully, and he always felt that Lions Gate Pictures personally held up an extremely powerful opponent, or the kind that Tiger Wolf generally wants to grab resources from Lions Gate Pictures.
Will such a company affect the future development of Lionsgate?
Navas is not sure, but knows that this matter is beyond his control. Today's Ronan Anderson and the relativity entertainment behind him are not something he can handle and need to be reported quickly.
Back at Lionsgate, Navas immediately entered Frank Gusta's office and explained the situation carefully.
"You pay attention to the latest developments." Frank Gusta immediately made a decision: "When I finish processing the financing these days, I will find time to talk with them in person. Since it is a useful talent for Lionsgate, Lionsgate Karma also needs to show sincerity."
He is the founder and chairman of Lionsgate. He went to talk to each other personally, which has already given him a lot of face.
In the following days, news of Navas came over, and several representatives of Fox Animation had several rounds of contact with Ronan Anderson and the people of Shahai Entertainment.
During this period, Twentieth Century Fox officially announced the dissolution of Fox Animation, and those computer animation engineers have already begun to go through the resignation procedures.
Finally, Frank Gusta finished the work at hand and took time to prepare to solicit personally, so that Navas contacted the three representatives of Fox Animation.
In the reception room of Century Hotel, Century City.
Navas gave an introduction to both sides, and after a simple greeting from both sides, he went straight to the topic.
Frank Gusta looked at the two men and one woman in front of them, and easily distinguished that Chris Leonard was the leader, and said with a smile: "Presumably the three already know that Lionsgate is preparing to set up an animation production department. , Navas also sent an invitation to the three."
Navas, who was with him, immediately smiled at the three.
Chris Reynard said: "Yes, we are deeply honored for this. And I am very grateful to Lionsgate for the invitation at this moment."
With the success of an animated film, Frank Gusta has seen the huge business opportunities in it, so after the financing is completed, the company is planning to enter the field of animation production.
If it hadn't been for the busy work in his hands, he would have gone out himself.
Frank Gusta said sincerely: "I want to invite three people to join Lionsgate."
"Sorry." Chris Renard declined: "We have reached a franchise agreement with Shahai Entertainment."
"The three of you should think about it carefully. Lionsgate has just completed hundreds of millions of dollars in financing." Frank Gusta decided to show some strength to make Lionsgate's future more attractive: "I will enter soon. At the stage of rapid development, joining Lionsgate now can develop together with the company. The future is unlimited."
As a veteran billionaire, Frank Gusta is quite confident and has long been accustomed to dealing with things at a high position: "The three of you should think about it, the decision to join Shahai Entertainment may not be correct."
Chris Leonard didn't speak, Eric Veron and Mary Blair glanced at him, but they didn't speak temporarily.
Frank Gusta laughed: "Three, don't make a momentary mistake and regret it in the future."
"Mr. Gusta." Mary Claire couldn't help but said, "We have nothing to regret about the choices we made ourselves."
Frank Gusta frowned: "If you make a wrong choice, your life may go downhill."
Mary Claire is a computer technician who is not very good at interpersonal communication. After hearing this, she was full of dissatisfaction with the tone of such big people soliciting small roles~EbookFREE.me~.
Originally, I came here today because I wanted to see the conditions offered by Lionsgate. I saved the hope in case. After all, there is no real agreement with Shahai Entertainment.
Unexpectedly, this is the situation.
"Our choice is wrong? May I ask what went wrong?" Mary Claire said directly: "When it comes to the size of the company, Lionsgate is not as good as Ronan Anderson's Relativity Entertainment? You just raised hundreds of millions of dollars? As far as I know, Ronan Anderson successfully raised US$500 million in December last year! And the Embassy Pictures under Relativity Entertainment has overseas distribution capabilities!"
These are obtained from the first-hand information provided by Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson in recent contacts.
Among them are Relativity Entertainment and its major companies, and Lionsgate Pictures.
In an attitude of being responsible for the future, she not only read it carefully, but also asked someone to inquire about it. Only then did she know that relativity entertainment is far more powerful than it looks from the outside.
Mary Claire continued: "We make animated films or short animated films. Of course, we want our works to be seen by people all over the world. When it comes to distribution capabilities, Lionsgate is far behind!"
One thing she did not say is that distribution means the ability to realize the work, and the income of the work is directly linked to the rewards of the producers. The stronger the distribution ability, the more secure the future of these producers.
Lionsgate has not had a film with a North American box office of more than 100 million yuan. How can you compare it with the group-oriented relativity entertainment?
Mary Claire wanted to speak, but was stopped by Chris Leonard.
Chris Leonard said quite politely: "Mr. Gusta, thank you for your kindness, we have decided to choose Shahai Entertainment."
