The Best Entertainment Era

In an office in the Fox Tower in Century City, Los Angeles.

Chris Meledandri looked at the subordinates on the opposite side, and confirmed again: Mary, Eric, Chris. You would rather leave Fox than go to Blue Sky Studio? Bain and the others are ready to join Blue Sky .”

The three were two men and one woman. Chris Leonard was the oldest, and Marie Claire and Eric Veron were all young people under the age of thirty.

They are also the backbone of Chris Meledandri's creation of Fox Animation.

Chris Leonard took the lead and said: I know some people transfer to Blue Sky Studios to continue animation production, but I... He shook his head with a bit of helplessness: Boss, you know my situation, my family is in Los Angeles, it’s impossible to go to New York to work at Blue Sky Studios.”

Chris Meledandri could only nod. When a person reaches middle age, many realities are here, especially after having a family and children, he no longer has the capital to act willfully.

Where are you two? He looked at the two young men.

These three people are the backbone, 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 still pays more attention to it and provides the opportunity to join Blue Sky Studio.

Among the four teams of Fox Animation, Bane and his deputy have chosen to join Blue Sky.

Chris Meledandri couldn't do much, but he still won some opportunities for the backbone members who have been following him.

Eric Veron glanced at Marie Claire, saw the latter nodded slightly, and said, I don't want to go to Lantian either. Going to a new city means I have to give up everything in Los Angeles. What about the people under me? Do? They've been with me for years.

Chris Leonard and Marie Claire looked at Chris Meledandri at the same time, and Chris Meledandri said directly: I have no choice, this is the decision made by the Murdoch family, Fox Animation will be disbanded, and then a new Fox Animation will be formed based on Blue Sky Studios.

Eric Veron shook his head: Boss, I won't go to Lantian, I can always find other opportunities in Los Angeles.

Chris Meledandri looked at Marie Claire one last time: What about you?

Marie-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 Meledandri sighed. These three people and the team they lead are the backbone of Fox Animation, and they will be lost like this.

He can understand the choices of these three people, as well as the decision of the Murdoch family to intervene.

After all, for commercial companies, departments and teams that cannot generate profits are worthless.

Not only did Fox Animation fail to create value for Twentieth Century Fox, last year a Frozen Planet also brought serious losses.

In contrast to Blue Sky Studios, Ice Age performed well, and some people have begun to compare Blue Sky Studios with Pixar Studios and DreamWorks Animation Studios.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and Chris Meledandri stopped persuading him. He opened the drawer and took out three cards, put them on the desk, and said: Leaving Fox Animation, I need to find a new job. You have been engaged in animation production for many years. It is a rare talent in this area, and it is best to continue to develop in this area.”

Eric Veron smiled: Boss, we will continue to stay in this industry.

In fact, they don't blame Chris Meledandri. The boss is just the head of a certain department of Fox, who is simply unable to fight against the high-level decision-making, and also won new opportunities for them.

Chris Meledandri 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 field. And I told Ronan Anderson Nan-Anderson himself has talked a few times, this is a very thoughtful and very reliable young producer.

He looked at the three subordinates: Do you know Ronan Anderson?

I know. Chris Renard continued: The producer of Bourne Shadow and Death Comes, his Relativity Entertainment has developed rapidly in recent years, and has a production company and a distribution company under his umbrella. .”

Eric Veron and Marie Claire are typical technical executives who rarely care about things other than animation production. They have heard of Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment, but they don't know much about them.

Chris Meledandri is a nostalgic person, and he also wants his old subordinates to have a good place to go, so he contacted Ronan several times to get to know him better. At this time, he said again: Relativity Entertainment is developing very well, and it is gradually approaching the forefront among the second-tier Hollywood companies. If you want to talk to Ronan Anderson, you can call him directly.

Chris Leonard knew something about Ronan and Relativity Entertainment, and was the first to take the card on the desk and put it in his pocket.

Either way, it's an opportunity, and it's not bad to go to a mid-sized company that's growing fast.

Not only can he stay in Hollywood, but he can still continue to work in the job he likes. For a middle-aged man like him who has a family and a business, it is already a good choice.

For Chris Meledandri, Chris Leonard is still grateful. After all, the boss is a nostalgic person and has done what he can. It is impossible to ask him to do more.

Eric Veron and Marie Claire hesitated for a moment, and also put away the cards.

The three of them left Chris Meledandri's office together and walked towards the office area. The news that Fox Animation would be disbanded had already spread, and everyone was panicked.

Is Ronan Anderson and Relativity famous? Eric Veron asked Chris Leonard.

The past few years have been very powerful, and many super-best-selling movies have been released. Chris Leonard said truthfully: Ronan Anderson is known as the youngest billionaire in Hollywood.

Marie-Claire asked: What about Lionsgate?

Knowing these two colleagues and friends, Chris Leonard has never cared much about things other than his own work and interests. He couldn't help but glance at Marie-Claire and replied: There is no comparison between the two.

Eric Veron further asked: Lionsgate is much worse than Relativity Entertainment.

Chris Leonard replied: As far as I know, Relativity Entertainment's performance in recent years is several times that of Lionsgate.

Before entering the office area, Eric Veron suddenly said: People from Lionsgate Films contacted us two days ago. They are also planning to establish an animation production department and want us to join Lionsgate Films.

Marie-Claire said: Lionsgate offered us a very good offer. She asked directly: Chris, what do you think?

Compared with these two young people who are obsessed with technology, Chris Leonard has more knowledge and ideas: Let's find a place to chat.

The three of them didn't go to the office area, and turned into the lounge where there was 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 has always had a good relationship. 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, what advice do you have?

Chris Renard said very seriously: Animation production is the capital we can get the most out of, but action production has a characteristic, which is very dependent on the cooperation of a mature team, and it cannot be done by one person or a few people. So , Our greatest value now lies not only in the technology we have mastered, but also in the team of three of us and dozens of people under us.

Marie-Claire is just focused on technology, not lacking in IQ: I see what you mean.

Next, we will appease the people in the team under us and ensure the integrity of the team as much as possible. Chris Renard has obviously thought about it: The more complete the team, the more conditions we can get for dozens of people. good.

Eric Veron said: What you said is very reasonable. If we are separated and only have a single employee engaged in certain production technologies, the value will be greatly reduced, but our three teams are able to complete the production. An animated feature film.

Chris Leonard said again: We are looking for a new next home as a team, and we can definitely get better conditions.

Marie-Claire nodded: I agree.

Eric Veron then said: I agree.

The three quickly reached an offensive and defensive alliance. There is nothing to consider about this kind of thing, and cooperation will benefit both.

Chris Leonard asked: Aside from Lionsgate, have you been contacted by any other company?

Marie-Claire shook her head: Not anymore.

Eric Veron also said: No.

Chris Leonard took out the card in his hand and said, There is also Relativity Entertainment. The boss has contacted Ronan Anderson. His recommendation should be more reliable.

Eric - Veron and Marie - Claire understand the boss's personality, agree with Chris - Leonard's statement.

What are we going to do? Marie-Claire asked.

Eric Veron also looked at Chris Leonard.

You keep in touch with Lionsgate, don't cut off contact with them, this is also an opportunity. Chris Leonard flipped over the card in his hand, and said: I will contact Ronan Anderson first, Just look at the sincerity of Relativity Entertainment.

Okay. Eric Veron agreed.

Marie-Claire had no problem either.

The three of them left the entertainment room and returned to the work area. First, they appeased the team under them and explained the situation to some extent. Anyone who is not stupid knows that the strength of unity is stronger, and it is also conducive to raising conditions for the new owner. .

After Chris Leonard finished these, he dialed the number on the card and contacted the owner of the phone.
