Chapter 357 Advantages
In a cafe near Fox Building in Century City, Ronan's first interview with Chris Renard has come to an end.
"When I met Mr. Mellerdandley, he gave a detailed introduction to your entire team." Ronan said seriously: "I have also learned about Fox Animation from the side. You have already accumulated enough technology. As long as you give enough time and funds, you will definitely be able to achieve something in the field of animation production."
Chris Renard always felt that Ronan was very sincere. Thinking of the fate of Fox animation, he said with regret: "It's a pity that Fox refused to give us time."
Luo Nan also said: "Shahai Entertainment, a subsidiary of Relativity, is responsible for the film production business, has sufficient funds and is patient enough."
Chris Renard said: "Mr. Anderson, there is one thing I need to explain in advance. I just said that I am not myself, but a team of more than 80 people. They are all members of Fox Animation and will be fired soon, but everyone's abilities are above the average level of this industry. The person with the shortest working hours have also worked at Fox Animation for two years."
"You can join Shahai Entertainment together, and I will create a separate animation production department for you." Although Ronan does not know much about computer animation technology, he knows that any movie is complete in teamwork. He said: "This department will ensure a certain degree of independence and creative freedom. Anyone, even an ordinary technician, is also a valuable asset for Shahai Entertainment."
Chris Renard rested and said, "We collectively look for a new home, and we also want to work together to fulfill our original dream."
Ronan has dealt with many computer engineers at Netflix and knows how far some of them can fight for their dreams.
"Shahai Entertainment and I, as well as the entire Relativity Entertainment, look forward to your joining." Ronan has this initial contact, and there are many specific conditions. After he reached an agreement with Chris Renard, he will leave it to Shahai Entertainment for a detailed discussion. He also said: "I am very much looking forward to the first animated feature film we collaborated on to be released worldwide."
Chris Renard felt full of sincerity and said, "I am looking forward to it too." He further said, "Mr. Anderson, I need to go back and discuss with the team. Please wait for a while."
Ronan shook hands with him: "No problem."
Chris Renard was very satisfied with the meeting and said, "Thank you very much for Mr. Anderson's invitation."
As a person with many years of experience in work, Chris Renard knows very well that this is actually a two-way choice. These people do have technical and team advantages, but they are not unique. There are not many people and teams in Hollywood who have computer animation production capabilities.
As long as you are willing to spend money, you may not be unable to find professional talents from other companies.
Shahai Entertainment needs professional talents to set up an animation production department, and they are about to be fired by Fox and need new job opportunities.
Being able to get a new job immediately after Fox fires will undoubtedly stabilize the hearts of the entire team.
Chris Renard left the cafe and hurried towards Fox Building, preparing to discuss with others.
Ronan sat in the cafe without moving. He waited patiently for a while, and Robert Li entered the cafe.
He asked the waiter for a cup of coffee first, and then asked with concern: "Have the talk been smooth?"
Ronan nodded slightly: "Overall, it's not bad. My few detailed conversations with Chris Melledandley played a role. Under his push, Chris Renard has a good impression of relativity entertainment."
"As long as we develop well, joining relativity entertainment will make people see a bright future." Robert Lee said the truth.
Ronan said: "It is for development and salary, and a good platform and treatment are more attractive."
An ideal salary is another major condition for attracting the other party to join, but it is only the first time to get in touch, and Ronan did not talk to Chris Renard in a clear conversation, but also made a hint.
There will definitely be a detailed discussion with Chris Renard later.
A salary that meets psychological expectations is a key condition for attracting people.
Luo Nan still remembers that when he first started looking for a job in his previous life, some jobs talked to applicants about platforms, development, and future. He talked about companies too much, but he didn’t talk about salary. Even if the applicants took the initiative to ask, they would say that the company would not treat employees badly.
This is actually a hooligan.
More than 90% of companies that recruit people but refuse to discuss salary clearly are rogue companies.
Many students who have just left school and formally looked for a job for the first time can easily fall into such a trap.
There is a saying that goes, no ideal, what is the difference between it and salted fish!
But without a salary, I can't even afford to buy salted fish.
Robert Li's phone was shocked. He took out and answered a phone call, whispered for a while, and hung up and said to Ronan: "Just just got the news that the people from Lionsgate Pictures met with the two technical directors of Fox Animation. What they were talking about was not very clear, but they should be invited to join Lionsgate Pictures."
Ronan asked: "Do you have the names of the two technical supervisors?"
Long ago, Ronan asked Robert Lee to focus on Fox animation. Robert Lee made a lot of preparations and had a certain degree of understanding of the important members of Fox animation. He said: "It is Mary Claire and Eric Bellon, the director of the Fox animation modeling and artistic creation team."
Ronan slowly turned the coffee cup in his hand and said, "Liongate Pictures is also interested in developing in animation production."
Robert Lee reminded: "Liongate Pictures has just received a batch of loans from Canada and is now ambitious and is said to have a development plan to catch up with DreamWorks for five to seven years."
Ronan nodded: "Don't underestimate Lionsgate Pictures."
In his previous life, Lionsgate Pictures not only caught up with DreamWorks, but also became the absolute leader among Hollywood second-tier companies, and even threatened the position of the Six Majors at one time.
Robert Lee said: "I will make people pay more attention to Lionsgate Pictures." He said with confidence: "We are much stronger now than Lionsgate Pictures."
Ronan smiled: "This is also our advantage, it is better to treat Fox Animation and a larger development platform than ordinary film companies."
This café is not far from the lobby of a hotel.
Lionsgate's senior vice president Navas is shaking hands with Eric Veron and Mary Claire.
"Two, although Lionsgate Pictures is not very famous now, it has a complete development plan." Navas said it quite well: "Lionsgate Pictures will be a large company that is comparable to DreamWorks in the future, and it can provide you with enough resources and development space."
Eric Beron said quite politely: "We believe this, too."
The politeness in this sentence was not good. Navas could naturally hear it, but the smile on his face did not change at all, and he kept sending Eric Beron and Mary Claire out of the main entrance of the hotel.
Navas did not return to the hotel, so he asked the driver to drive over and get in and return to the company.
On the way, Navas received a call.
"What? You say it again! Relativity Entertainment? Ronan Anderson's Relativity Entertainment?"
Just like celebrity gossip, Hollywood news circulated extremely quickly, Navas was a little surprised and surprised: "Are you sure it's Ronan Anderson himself? OK, I understand, you guys keep paying attention."
When Navas put down his phone, his face was not very good-looking, and he instantly thought of the politeness of Eric Veron and Mary Claire. Could it be because of the relationship between relativity entertainment?
Maybe it doesn't matter? After all, Chris Renard, the person Ronan Anderson meets.
Navas immediately rejected this idea. When talking to Eric Bellon and Mary Claire before, the two of them talked about it. The three teams that Fox Animation has determined to leave are looking for a new next home together...
For example, an animation production team requires extremely close teamwork. The more complete the team, the more beneficial it is for future development.
Navas is responsible for soliciting and understands this principle.
Sitting in the car and thinking for a while, Navas no longer had a lucky mentality and picked up the phone and dialed Ronan's number.
He and Ronan are also old acquaintances. They had dealt with each other as early as when Lionsgate released the "Human Purge Plan", and they were familiar with each other.
After calling, Navas asked the driver to turn around and return to Beverly Hills and come to a cafe.
"Long time no see, Ronan." Navas took the initiative to shake hands with Ronan.
Ronan shook his hands, invited Navas to sit down, and said, "Why have time to call me today?"
Navas didn't want to go around in circles and said directly: "I heard you are recruiting people from Fox animation?"
Since the other party received the news, Ronan did not need to deny it and said: "Yes. Shahai Entertainment has been planning to establish an animation production department since last year and has always lacked practical staff. Fox Animation's people will be cut off soon, which just meets the needs of Shahai Entertainment."
Navas frowned slightly and suddenly said: "I have been in contact with Fox Animation's Eric Beron and Mary Claire for a long time on behalf of Lionsgate Pictures."
Ronan asked back: "Liongate Pictures is also preparing to get involved in animation production?"
"That's right." Navas looked at Ronan and said, "Ronan, we are old friends. It's not good for you to intervene in the middle?"
Ronan laughed: "I have been in contact with Chris Renard for a long time, and I have been in contact with Mele Dandley, the head of Fox Animation, for a longer time. This is not a middle-aged intervention, right?"
Navas thought about the development of Relativity Entertainment in the past two years, and was somewhat lacking in confidence, so he changed his tactful way: "We have been working happily on both sides. Your "Human Purge Plan" was also released by Lionsgate Pictures, which made it a huge success. Ronan, our two companies are old friends, so there is no need to be unhappy because of this small thing."
