As the Christmas season approached, the rest of Europe's football leagues had entered the winter break, and the Premier League began its busiest time of the year, with many teams playing a game every two or three days.

In his previous life, Ronan could be regarded as half a fan, and he was obsessed with it for a while when he was in school, but after graduation, as he was busy with work, football was also left behind.

But the craziest time he watched football was around 2000.

For the 1999 treble winner Manchester United, it can be regarded as understanding, such as the black wind twins, such as the golden four midfielders, such as Peter Schmeichel, who created one of the Danish fairy tales.

Well, and the Ferguson brand hair dryer.

Ronan chatted with Alan Albert, a die-hard fan of Manchester United, and he could also talk about it.

Influenced by Alan Albert, Danny Donald is also a fan of Manchester United, just not as obsessed with the former.

The common topic of Manchester United, coupled with the fact that there was no one like Albert Hoffman in between, quickly brought Ronan closer to the two.

In addition to football, I would also talk about film releases, and I got a lot of useful information.

PolyGram Pictures' distribution team, most of which are based overseas, has a dedicated person in charge of each region, and after several years of development, through the channel of Polygram Records, it has deep ties with local media, television stations, film companies and video companies.

If these people follow Alan Albert and Danny Donald to Embassy Pictures, with a few tweaks, the entire channel could be put to use.

At Old Trafford, Ronan booked a well-located box to watch Manchester United's Christmas clash with Alan Albert and Danny Donald.

Wow –

The pitch erupted in cheers as blacks dressed in red rushed to the corner to celebrate the goal.

"York is still so good!" Alan Albert looked extremely excited.

Football is arguably one of the most important pastimes for the British.

Ronan remembers that an old man next door to his nemesis said something like "football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death".

Danny Donald is also excited: "York and Cole are guaranteed to win. ”

That's right. Ronan did not blindly agree, but said: "But without the support of the golden four midfielders, the power of these two will be greatly reduced." ”

The game restarted, the pace slowed down slightly, and the three of them discussed.

Ronan is not a professional fan, but he has his own opinion: "I think the reason why Manchester United have been at their peak in the past two years is precisely because the golden four midfielders have entered the peak of their careers. ”

Alan Albert said: "But when we won the treble last season, all four didn't play together in a lot of games. ”

"As long as the four can make sure that three people are on the field at the same time, they can change the game. Ronan stuck to his point: "All four have the ability to change the tempo of the game. Giggs's sharp break, Scholes's cruising forward, David Beckham's runs and long balls, Keane's back inserts and long-range shots can all break the deadlock on the pitch. ”

Alan Albert thought about it, and it seemed like it was indeed the case.

Ronan continued: "There is no doubt about the strength of Manchester United's midfield, but if two people are absent at the same time, it may affect the normal operation of Manchester United, maybe there is no problem playing in the Premier League, but the Champions League is ......"

Danny Ronald interjected and asked: "Do you think Manchester United can't defend the Champions League this year?"

Ronan smiled: "There is a possibility of defending the title, but it is too difficult." ”

Last season was the pinnacle of this Manchester United team, strength and luck forged the treble, who would have thought that the Champions League final was down by one goal in the first 90 minutes, and scored two goals in stoppage time to overtake?

And then there's the strange Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a striker who doesn't score much in the starting line-up and comes off the bench.

How did Manchester United get eliminated from the Champions League this season? Ronan thought for a long time, vaguely impressed, Redondo knocked the ball past Scholes with his heel, and Raul followed up with an empty goal?

I can't remember.

Wow –

There was another round of cheers on the pitch and Manchester United scored again.

Scimitar, see the full moon scimitar again!

It was David Beckham who scored the goal with his trademark banana goal.

Ronan followed Alan Albert and Danny Donald to stand up and applaud, and Victoria was also seen in front left.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely intelligent woman, who was originally the most inconspicuous of the hot girl group, but became the most successful of the hot girls with her brain.

In the previous life, there were a lot of jokes about Victoria and Beckham on the Internet, and it is said that Victoria's original favorite star was Wang Laoji, but for the sake of the future, he finally hooked up with Beckham.

If Victoria chooses Wang Laoji, will the brother-in-law make a bigger fuss?

The sports circle and the entertainment industry have a lot in common, no matter how unbearable the private morality is, as long as you can make achievements in your own work, there will still be countless people to support you.

Wang Laoji, and the copper-headed iron arm that engaged in friends' wives, aren't they all typical in this regard?

There are countless examples of this in Hollywood.

Ronan continued to chat with the two men and discuss the game, which was the absolute hegemon of the Premier League in this era, and finally won by four goals.

After watching the ball game, the three of them had dinner together, and Ronan talked to the two about joining the embassy studio.

Universal Pictures has issued an internal notice that after the New Year, most PolyGram Pictures employees who are basically useless to Universal Pictures will begin to be dismissed, as will Alan Albert and Danny Donald's distribution department.

Ronan's work for such a long time finally worked, and compared to when they were in London, the two also seriously discussed with him the possibility of joining Embassy Pictures, and asked Ronan in detail about the future plans of Embassy Pictures and even Relativity Entertainment.

At this time, if you want to impress people, you definitely need sincerity, one is to let Alan Albert and Danny Donald see the possibility of the future development of Relativity Entertainment Group, the second is to provide stable and comfortable jobs, and the third is related treatment.

"If the two of them can join Embassy Pictures, their annual salaries at Polygram Pictures will be doubled. Ronan will not be vague about the treatment, he was a part-time worker in his previous life, and he has a first-hand experience of the importance of salary, saying: "Allen's annual salary is $800,000, Danny's is $500,000, and it will be adjusted accordingly with the company's salary increase in the future." ”

Alan Albert and Danny Donald looked at each other, and at least in terms of salary, Ronan Anderson was more sincere than Albert Hoffman of DreamWorks.

"What about the others?" Alan Albert asked directly.

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to ask, Ronan knew that success was gradually approaching, and as a poacher, what he was worried about was never that the other party asked for treatment, not that he didn't talk about treatment at all.

If you are not interested, you will not talk about it.

Ronan said: "According to the performance of overseas issuance, the two have corresponding annual awards. ”

Alan Albert and Danny Donald didn't speak, and there wasn't much appeal in that regard, after all, it could only be classified as ordinary treatment.

Ronan had already prepared: "In addition, I have prepared an option award for the two of you. It's not a share-based award, it's a bonus: "I've set up a $3 million award fund for both of you, and as long as you have worked at Embassy Pictures for five years, you can share the award fund according to your position and performance." ”

Hearing this, both Alan Albert and Danny Donald were moved, and it was a huge reward for the two now.

This is not a random condition, now Relativity Entertainment and its two companies are on the right track, Ronan in order to motivate the management, is also formulating corresponding incentives, except for Mary, George and Robert will have a small number of equity option awards, everyone else will also have similar incentive fund terms, which will be officially implemented after the New Year.

If you want the horses to run, you must give them grass.

Of course, there will also be a non-compete agreement on this new job contract to prevent other companies from poaching people.

In the future, the company's system and channels will be sound, and the lack of people in a certain position will not have a particularly big impact, but at this stage, if important personnel are poached, it will inevitably drag down the operation of the entire company.

The two of them talked to Alan Albert and Danny Donald all the way around midnight before the two sides came to an end.

"Ronan Anderson is really sincere. Danny Donald entered Alan Albert's room to discuss what had just happened: "The Universal Pictures notice will be issued soon, we have to make a decision as soon as possible, and if a member of the distribution team leaves on their own, we will also be affected. ”

Without the publishing team below, the value of both of them would definitely be greatly diminished.

Alan Albert hasn't given up on DreamWorks yet: "Has there been no news from Albert Hoffman?"

"Nope. Danny Donald shook his head: "It's been almost a week, and I haven't been in touch with us again." ”

He raised his voice slightly: "Alan, DreamWorks is not sincere enough! This is very obvious! DreamWorks is indeed big, but from Albert Hoffman's attitude towards us in the cold, can't you see it? Even if we join DreamWorks, once they take control of the overseas distribution channels, we will probably be marginalized!"

Alan Albert sighed lightly and said, "DreamWorks' platform is bigger. ”

Danny Donald reminded: "Albert Hoffman is no longer reaching out to us, should we reaching out to him? ”

Someone came to dig them up, met with them, mentioned some conditions that were not very good, and then there was no news, which is difficult to make people feel sincere.

Alan Albert thought for a while and said, "Let's wait another day, you call the people below one by one, stabilize them first, if there is no news the day after tomorrow, we will choose Embassy Pictures!"

Tom Cruise and people inside the church have also been persuading him to join Embassy Pictures in the past two days, and DreamWorks can't offer conditions much higher than those of Embassy Pictures, so it's better to cooperate with Embassy Pictures.
