The Best Entertainment Era

That's about it.

In the huge hotel conference room, facing Eric Veron and Marie Claire, as well as a group of colleagues, Chris Leonard talked about the meeting with Ronan in detail, and emphasized again: I will say it again The two most important points are, first, Sandsea Entertainment will set up an animation production department for us, and will give us a relatively high degree of freedom, and will only be responsible to the top management of Sandsea Entertainment and Ronan Anderson himself.”

Eric Veron and Marie Claire looked at each other, such conditions can be said to be quite good.

Chris Leonard continued: Secondly, after switching to Sandsea Entertainment, our salary will increase to varying degrees, about 10% to 15%. The details will be discussed later.

Not bad. As a woman, Marie-Claire was a little more emotional: If we split up and went to other companies, we wouldn't be treated like this.

Eric Veron nodded slightly: Better than Lionsgate's conditions.

Someone below asked: How about the conditions of Lions Gate?

It's okay to talk about other things. The most critical points are not satisfactory. Eric Veron said directly: Lionsgate wants our three teams 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, so it is estimated that so many of us joining will bring huge salary and office pressure to Lionsgate.”

He coughed and cleared his throat: In terms of salary, they guarantee that it will not be lower than our salary at Fox.

The employees below have already discussed that Lionsgate does not need so many people. If they really choose Lionsgate, it means that some people can only leave the team and find a way out by themselves. The treatment...

Marie-Claire immediately said: I'm leaning towards the relativity sand sea entertainment.

Me too!

Me too……

A voice of approval sounded.

After a brief discussion, everyone quickly reached a consensus. Chris Leonard, as the leader, announced a tentative decision: Our current first choice is Sand Sea Entertainment under Theory of Relativity. Mary, Eric, and just now The finalized representatives, you...

The phone rang suddenly, and Chris Leonard answered the phone with a very 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 was not surprised, after all, they knew that this day would come.

Chris Leonard continued what he said just now: You and I will discuss with Sandsea Entertainment together, and 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 a success. They paid so much for Fox, and they were sentenced to death just because a movie failed. The Murdoch family is too chilling.

I would rather pay a lot of money to buy an outside company than give my own another chance...

Chris Leonard sighed and stopped thinking about these troublesome things, someone came over at this time.

Director Leonard. The man said in a low voice: The people in Bain's team, please ask, can you come with us? You know, Bain and his deputy transferred to Blue Sky Studio, and the rest of the colleagues can Find your own way.

Chris Leonard immediately said: It should be fine, you can say hello to them first, let them be calm, I will talk to Shahai Entertainment about it.

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.

In the coffee shop near the Fox Building in Century City, Navas walked out of the glass door calmly, with disappointment flashing across his face.

Boss? His assistant came over.

Navas shook his head lightly and said, Let's go.

The assistant didn't dare to ask more questions, so he quickly called the driver to drive over.

in the car,

Navas recalled Ronan's polite and determined demeanor, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Three years ago, Lionsgate needed to consider Ronan Anderson?

But in just three years, Ronan Anderson and his Theory of Relativity Entertainment have already surpassed Lionsgate Films in terms of performance and scale, and have fallen a long way.

Navas didn't complain that Ronan didn't know how to be grateful. Lionsgate released the film for Ronan at the beginning. It was the simplest business cooperation. Both parties pursued profits. Sandsea Entertainment also paid tens of millions of dollars for the distribution fee.

No one owes anyone a favor in this kind of business.

But Navas still couldn't help thinking, if Lionsgate hadn't released The Purge, would there be no troubles today?

After thinking about it carefully, he always felt that Lionsgate Films had personally picked up an extremely strong opponent, and it was the kind that tigers and wolves wanted to snatch resources from Lionsgate Films.

Will such a company affect the future development of Lionsgate?

Navas can't be sure, but he 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 he needs to report it quickly.

Back at Lionsgate, Navas immediately went into Frank Gusta's office and explained the situation in detail.

You pay attention to the latest developments. Frank Gusta made a decision immediately: After I have dealt with the financing work in the past few days, I will find time to talk to them in person. Since they are useful talents for Lionsgate, Lionsgate The industry also needs to show sincerity.”

He is the founder and chairman of Lionsgate Films, so going to talk to the other party in person is already a great deal of face.

In the next few days, news of Navas came in one after another. Several representatives of Fox Animation had several rounds of contact with Ronan Anderson and people from 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 handling the work at hand, took time to prepare to solicit in person, and asked Navas to contact the three representatives of Fox Animation.

In the reception room of the Century Hotel in Century City.

Navas made an introduction for the two sides, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, they got straight to the point.

Frank Gusta looked at the two men and one woman in front of him, and easily identified Chris Leonard as the leader, and said with a smile: I think the three already know that Lionsgate is planning to set up an animation production department. , Navas also sent invitations to the three.

Navas, who was by the side, immediately smiled at the three of them.

Chris Leonard said: Yes, we are deeply honored for this. And very grateful to Lionsgate for extending the invitation at this moment.

With the success of one animated film after another, Frank Gusta has seen the huge business opportunities in it, so after the financing is completed, the company plans to enter the field of animation production.

If it wasn't for the busy work in his hands, he would have already done it himself.

Frank Gusta said with sincerity: I would like to invite three of you to join Lionsgate.

Sorry. Chris Leonard declined, We have reached a franchise agreement with Sandsea Entertainment.

The three of you should think about it again. Lionsgate has just completed hundreds of millions of dollars in financing. Frank Gusta decided to show a little bit of strength in order to make the future of Lionsgate more attractive: I'm about to enter In the stage of rapid development, now joining Lionsgate Films, can develop together with the company, the future is limitless.

As a veteran billionaire, Frank Gusta is quite confident and has long been used to handling things from a high position: The three of you should think about it again, the decision to join Sandsea Entertainment may not be the right one.

Chris Leonard did not speak, Eric Veron and Mary Blair glanced at him, and did not speak for a while.

Frank Gusta laughed: Three, don't regret it in the future because of a momentary mistake.

Mr. Gusta. Marie-Claire couldn't help it, and said, We have made our own choices, and there is nothing to regret.

Frank Gusta frowned: If you make a wrong choice, your life may go downhill.

Marie-Claire is a computer technician, and she is not very good at interpersonal communication. After hearing this, she is full of dissatisfaction with the tone of such a big man soliciting a small role.

Originally, I came here today to see the conditions offered by Lionsgate Films, hoping that it might happen. After all, I haven't really reached an agreement with Shahai Entertainment.

Did not expect this situation.

Is our choice wrong? Where did we go wrong? Marie-Claire said directly: In terms of company size, Lionsgate is not as good as Ronan Anderson's Relativity Entertainment, right? 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 Embassy Pictures, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, has overseas distribution capabilities!

These are obtained from the first-hand information provided by Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson in the recent contact.

Among them are Relativity Entertainment and its major companies, as well as Lionsgate Pictures.

With 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 stronger than it looks from the outside.

Marie-Claire continued: We make animated films or animated short films, of course we want the work to be seen by people all over the world, and when it comes to distribution capabilities, Lionsgate is far behind!

One thing she didn't say is that the distribution means the liquidity of the work, and the income of the work is directly linked to the rewards of the production staff. The stronger the distribution ability, the more secure the future of these production staff.

Lionsgate has not had a movie with a box office of over 100 million in North America so far. How can it be compared with the already grouped Relativity Entertainment?

Marie-Claire wanted to speak, but was stopped by Chris Leonard.

Chris Leonard said very politely: Mr. Gusta, thank you for your kindness, we have decided to choose Sandsea Entertainment.
