In a café near the Fox Tower in Century City, Ronan's first interview with Chris Renard has come to an end.

"When I met with Mr. Meledandri, he gave a detailed account of your entire team. Ronan said seriously: "I have also learned about Fox Animation from the side, you have enough technical accumulation, as long as you give enough time and money, you will definitely be able to make some achievements in the field of animation production." ”

Chris Renard has always felt that Ronan is very sincere, and when he thought of the fate of Fox Animation, he said with regret: "It's a pity that Fox won't give us any more time." ”

Ronan added: "Shahai Entertainment, a subsidiary of Relativity, is in charge of the film production business, with sufficient funds and enough patience. ”

Chris Renard said: "Mr. Anderson, one thing I need to explain in advance, as I said earlier, I am not representing myself, but a team of more than 80 people, all of whom are members of Fox Animation, and will soon be fired, but everyone's ability is above the average level in this industry, and the shortest person has 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 doesn't know much about computer animation technology, he knows that any film is a complete teamwork, and said: "This department will ensure a certain degree of independence and creative freedom, and any person, even an ordinary technician, is a valuable asset to Shahai Entertainment." ”

Chris Renard put his mind at ease and said: "We are collectively looking for a new home, and we also want to stick to our original dream together. ”

Ronan had worked with many computer engineers at Netflix and knew how far some of them could go for their dreams.

"Me and Shahai Entertainment, as well as the entire Relativity Entertainment, are looking forward to your joining. "Ronan is in initial contact, and many specific conditions will be handed over to Shahai Entertainment for detailed discussion after he and Chris Renard reach an agreement. He added: "I'm really looking forward to the global release of our first animated feature film. ”

Chris Renard felt the sincerity and said, "I'm looking forward to it as well. He further said, "Mr. Anderson, I need to go back and talk to the team, and I ask you to wait a while. ”

Ronan shook his hand: "No problem. ”

Chris Renard was very pleased with the meeting and said: "Thank you very much Mr. Anderson for the invitation. ”

As a person with many years of experience, Chris Renard knows very well that this is actually a two-way choice, they do have technical and team advantages, but they are not unique, and Hollywood has the ability to produce computer animation.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you may not be able to recruit professionals from other companies.

Shahai Entertainment is in need of professionals to set up an animation production department, and these people are about to be fired by Fox and need new job opportunities.

Being able to get a new job done immediately after Fox's dismissal will undoubtedly stabilize the hearts and minds of the entire team.

Chris Renard walked out of the café and hurried towards the Fox Building, ready to consult with the others.

Ronan sat in the café and waited patiently for a while, and Robert Lee entered the café.

He first asked the waiter for a cup of coffee, and then asked with concern, "Did the conversation go well?"

Ronan nodded lightly: "Overall it's not bad, I've had a few detailed conversations with Chris Meledandley that have helped a lot, and with his push, Chris Renard has a good impression of relativity entertainment." ”

"As long as we develop well, joining Relativity Entertainment can make people see the future is limitless. "Robert Lee told the truth.

Ronan said: "I came out to work for development and salary, and a good platform and treatment are more attractive. ”

A more ideal salary is another big condition to attract the other party to join, but it is only the first contact, Ronan did not talk to Chris Renard, but also hinted.

Later on, there will definitely be a separate talk with Chris Renard's side in detail.

A salary that meets psychological expectations is the key to attracting people.

Ronan still remembers that when he first started looking for a job in his previous life, some jobs talked to the applicant about the platform, development, the future, and how great the company was, but he didn't talk about the salary, even if the candidate took the initiative to ask, he would say that the company would not treat the employee badly.

It's all hooliganism.

More than ninety percent of companies that recruit but refuse to explicitly negotiate compensation are rogue companies.

Many students who have just stepped out of school and are looking for a job for the first time can easily fall into such a trap.

There is a good saying, there is no ideal, what is the difference between it and salted fish!

But without wages, even salted fish cannot be bought.

Robert Lee's phone vibrate, he took it out and answered the phone, whispered for a while, hung up and said to Ronan: "I just got the news that the people from Lionsgate met with the two technical directors of Fox Animation, and it is not very clear what to talk about, but it should be an invitation to join Lionsgate." ”

Ronan asked, "Do you have the names of the two technical directors?"

A long time ago, Ronan asked Robert Lee to keep an eye on Fox Animation, and Robert Lee did a lot of preparation and had a certain level of understanding of the important members of Fox Animation, and then said: "It's Mary Claire and Eric Peron, the heads of the Fox Animation Modeling and Art Creation team. ”

Ronan slowly turned the coffee cup in his hand and said, "Lionsgate is also interested in developing animation production. ”

Robert Lee reminded: "Lionsgate has just secured a loan from Canada and is now ambitious, reportedly with a five- to seven-year development plan to catch up with DreamWorks. ”

Ronan nodded: "Don't underestimate Lionsgate. ”

In the previous life, Lionsgate not only caught up with DreamWorks, but also became the absolute leader among Hollywood's second-tier companies, and even threatened the status of the Big Six at one time.

Robert Lee said, "I'm going to get people to pay more attention to Lionsgate. He spoke with confidence: "Our current strength is much stronger than Lionsgate." ”

Ronan smiled: "This is also our advantage, better treatment than Fox Animation, and a bigger development platform than ordinary film companies." ”

Not very far from this café in the lobby of a hotel.

Keylor Navas, senior vice president of Lionsgate, is shaking hands with Eric Peron and Mary Claire.

"Two, although Lionsgate is not very famous now, it has a sound development plan. Navas put it quite eloquently: "Lionsgate will be a big company comparable to DreamWorks in the future, and it will provide you with enough resources and space to grow." ”

Eric Peron said quite politely: "We believe that too. ”

The politeness in these words was not well disguised, and Navas could naturally hear it, but the smile on his face did not change at all, and he kept sending Eric Peron and Marie Claire out of the main entrance of the hotel.

Navas didn't go back to the hotel, just asked the driver to drive over, got in the car and returned to the company.

Halfway through, Navas received a phone call.

"What? You say it again! Relativistic entertainment? Ronan Anderson's relativistic entertainment?"

Like celebrity gossip, news circulates so quickly in Hollywood that Navas was a little surprised, a little surprised: "Are you sure it's Ronan Anderson himself? ”

Putting down the phone, Navas's face was not very good-looking, and he instantly thought of the politeness of Eric Perón and Mary Claire, is it because of the relationship between Relativity Entertainment?

Maybe not? After all, Ronan Anderson met Chris Renard.

Navas immediately vetoed the idea again, having previously spoken to Eric Perón and Marie Claire, who had spoken about the three teams that Fox Animation had now confirmed to leave in search of a new home......

Like an animation production team, it requires extremely close teamwork, and the more complete the team, the better it is for future development.

Navas is in charge of solicitation and understands this.

Sitting in the car and thinking for a while, Navas no longer had a chance mentality, picked up the phone and dialed Ronan's number.

He and Ronan are also old acquaintances, having dealt with Lions Rock as early as when they released "Human Removal Project", and the two sides are also familiar with each other.

After making the call, Navas told the driver to turn around and head back to Beverly Hills and into a café.

"Long time no see, Ronan. Navas took the initiative to shake Ronan's hand.

Ronan shook hands, invited Navas to sit down, and said, "Why do you have time to call me today?"

Navas didn't want to go around in circles, and said directly: "I heard that you are recruiting people from Fox Animation?"

Now that the other party has received the news, Ronan has no need to deny it, and said, "Yes." Shahai Entertainment has been planning to establish an animation production department since last year, and there has been a lack of practical manpower, and the people of Fox Animation are about to be laid off, which is just in line with the needs of Shahai Entertainment. ”

Navas frowned slightly, and suddenly said, "I've been in contact with Fox Animation's Eric Peron and Mary Claire on behalf of Lionsgate for a long time. ”

Ronan asked rhetorically, "Lionsgate is also ready to get involved in animation?"

"That's right. Navas looked at Ronan and said, "Ronan, we're old friends, it's not good for you to meddle in the middle, okay?"

Ronan laughed: "I've been in contact with Chris Renard for a long time, and I've been in contact with Meledandley, the head of Fox Animation, even longer, so it's not an intermediate intervention, is it?"

Thinking of the development of Relativity Entertainment in the past two years, Navas was somewhat lacking in confidence, so he changed his tactful way: "We have been working together happily, and your "Human Eradication Project" was also distributed by Lionsgate, which was a huge success. Ronan, our two companies are old friends, and there is no need to be unhappy because of this little thing. ”

Ronan could hear that Navas wanted him to take the initiative to take a step back, but how could he take the initiative to back down in this kind of thing? He said calmly: "I have promised Chris Renard that if something suddenly happens, he will break his promise, and I can't be untrustworthy." My company and I have always been grateful for Lionsgate's release of Project Human Clearance, but we also paid the full cost of the distribution. ”
