Chapter 358 Joining

"It's roughly that."

In the huge hotel conference room, facing Eric Veron, Mary Claire, and a group of colleagues, Chris Renard detailed the meeting with Ronan and emphasized again: "I will say again the two most important points. First, Shahai Entertainment will set up an animation production department for us and give us a relatively high degree of freedom, and will only be responsible to Shahai Entertainment's top management and Ronan Anderson himself."

Eric Veron and Mary Claire looked at each other, and such conditions were quite good.

Chris Renard continued: "Secondly, after switching to Shahai Entertainment, our salary will increase to varying degrees, about 10% to 15%. We will need to discuss it carefully later."

"Good." Mary Claire, as a woman, was a little more emotional: "If we spread out to other companies, we wouldn't be treated like this."

Eric Bellon nodded gently: "The conditions are better than the Lions Gate."

Someone asked below: "What are the conditions for the Lion Gate?"

"It's okay to say anything else, but the most critical points are not very satisfying." Eric Perron said directly: "Liongate Pictures wants our three teams to join, but they don't need so many people. The overall situation of Liongate Pictures is much worse than Relativity Entertainment. It is estimated that so many of our people joining will bring huge salary and office pressure to Liongate Pictures."

He coughed and cleared his throat: "In terms of salary, they promise not to be less than what we treat at Fox."

The employees below have already started to discuss that Lionsgate Pictures does not need so many staff. If they really choose Lionsgate Pictures, it means that some people can only leave the team and then individuals find a way out, and then the treatment...

Mary Claire immediately said: "I tend to be relativistic entertainment."

"Me too!"

"Me too……"

A voice of approval sounded.

After a brief discussion, everyone quickly reached an agreement. As the leader, Chris Renard announced a temporary decision: "Our current first choice is Sand Sea Entertainment, which is under Relativity. Mary, Eric, and several representatives who have just been finalized, you..."

The ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang, and Chris Renard answered the phone with a very serious expression. After putting away the phone, he said, "The boss called me. This Wednesday, Fox will officially announce the disbandment of Fox Animation and then negotiate with us on matters related to the dismissal."

Everyone was not surprised, after all, they knew that this day would come very early.

Chris Renard continued the words just now: "You and I will discuss with Shahai Entertainment, 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 succeed. They have paid so much for Fox and were sentenced to death just because a movie failed. The Murdoch family is so heartbreaking.

I would rather buy out companies with a lot of money than give my own people another chance...

Chris Renard sighed, no longer thinking about these troubles, and someone came over at this time.

"Super Reynard." The man whispered: "The guy from Bain's group asked me to ask if I could be with us? You know, Bain and his deputy moved to the Blue Sky Studio, and the remaining colleagues could only find a way out on their own."

Chris Renard immediately said: "It should be no problem. You should say hello to them first and let them stay calm. I will talk to Shahai Entertainment about this."

According to his contact with Ronan Anderson, Ronan Anderson would not refuse, because in this case, the Fox Animation team could almost completely transfer to Shahai Entertainment.

In the cafe near the Fox Building in Century City, Navas walked out of the glass door calmly, and the disappointment flashed through his face.

"Boss?" His assistant came over.

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

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

After getting into the car, Navas recalled Ronan's polite and firm expression, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Three years ago, Lionsgate needed to consider Ronan Anderson?

But in just three years, Ronan Anderson and his Relativity Entertainment, in terms of performance and scale, have long surpassed Lionsgate Pictures, and have still left a long way off.

Navas didn't complain that Ronan didn't know how to be grateful. Lionsgate Film released films for Ronan, which was the simplest commercial cooperation. Both parties pursued profits, and Shahai Entertainment also paid tens of millions of dollars in distribution fees for this.

No one owe any favors to anyone in business.

But Navas still couldn't help but wonder, if Lionsgate hadn't released the "Human Purge Plan" back then, would it be without the troubles of today?

He thought about it carefully and always felt that Lionsgate Pictures personally picked up an extremely powerful opponent, and it was the kind that wanted to grab resources from Lionsgate Pictures.

Will such a company affect the future development of Lionsgate Pictures?

Navas was not sure, but he knew that this matter was beyond his control. Ronan Anderson and the relativity entertainment behind him were not something he could deal with, and he needed to report it quickly.

Back at Lionsgate Pictures, Navas immediately entered Frank Gusta's office and explained the situation carefully.

"You pay attention to the latest progress." Frank Gusta immediately made a decision: "Wait until I finish the financing work in the past few days, I will find time to talk to them in person. Since it is a useful talent for Lionsgate Pictures, Lionsgate Pictures also needs to express sincerity."

He is the founder and chairman of Lionsgate Pictures. He went to talk to the other party in person, and this face has already given him a lot.

In the following days, news about Navas came one after another, and several representatives of Fox Animation had several more rounds of contact with Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment.

During this period, 20th Century Fox officially announced the disbandment of Fox Animation, and those computer animation engineers had already begun to go through the resignation procedures.

Finally, Frank Gusta finished his work and took time to prepare to recruit him personally, asking Navas to contact the three representatives of Fox Animation.

In the reception room of Century City Century Hotel.

Navas introduced the two sides, and after a simple greeting between the two sides, he got to the point.

Frank Gusta looked at the two men and one women in front of him and easily identified them with Chris Renard, and said with a smile: "I believe the three have known that Lionsgate Pictures is about to set up an animation production department, and Navas has also invited the three."

Navas, who was with him, immediately smiled at the three of them.

Chris Renard said: "Yes, we are deeply honored for this. We are also very grateful to Lionsgate for giving the invitation at this moment."

With the success of animated films, Frank Gusta has seen the huge business opportunities there, so after the financing is completed, he plans to enter the field of animation production.

If he hadn't been busy with work, he would have done his job himself.

Frank Gusta said sincerely: "I want to invite three to join Lionsgate."

"Sorry." Chris Renard declined: "We have reached a franchise agreement with Shahai Entertainment."

"Three, please think carefully. Lionsgate Pictures has just completed a financing of over 100 million US dollars." Frank Gusta decided to show some strength to make the future of Lionsgate Pictures more attractive: "It is about to enter a stage of rapid development. Now joining Lionsgate Pictures, you can develop with the company, and the future is unlimited."

As a veteran billionaire, Frank Gusta is quite confident and has long been accustomed to standing at a high position to deal with things: "Three people should think about it carefully, and the decision to join Shahai Entertainment may not be correct."

Chris Renard didn't say anything, Eric Bellon and Mary Blair looked at him, and did not speak for the time being.

Frank Gusta laughed: "Three, don't regret it in the future because of temporary mistakes."

"Mr. Gusta." Mary Claire couldn't help it and said, "The choice we made ourselves has nothing to regret."

Frank Gusta frowned: "If you choose the wrong way, your life may go downhill."

Mary Claire is a computer technician and is not very good at interpersonal communication. After hearing this, he was completely dissatisfied with the tone of such a big man recruiting small characters.

I originally came here today to see the conditions offered by Lionsgate Pictures and have hope of any reason. After all, there has not been a real agreement with Shahai Entertainment.

I didn't expect this to be the situation.

"We're wrong? What's wrong?" Mary Claire said directly: "When it comes to the size of the company, Lionsgate Pictures is not as good as Ronan Anderson's Relativity Entertainment? You just raised hundreds of millions of dollars? As far as I know, Ronan Anderson successfully raised $500 million in December last year! And the Embassy Pictures under Relativity Entertainment has the ability to publish overseas!"

These are all obtained from the first-hand information provided by the other party during recent contacts with Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson.

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

With the attitude of being responsible for the future, she not only looked at it carefully, but also asked someone to inquire specifically. Only then did she realize that relativity entertainment is much more powerful than it seems from the outside.

Mary Claire continued: "We make animated movies or animated short films, of course we want the works to be seen by people all over the world. In terms of distribution capabilities, Lionsgate Pictures is much worse!"

One thing she didn't say is that distribution means the monetization ability 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 Pictures has not had a film with a box office of over 100 million in North America. What should I compare with the group-based relativity entertainment?

Mary Claire wanted to say it, but was stopped by Chris Renard.

Chris Renard said quite politely: "Mr. Gusta, thank you for your kindness. We have decided to choose Sand Sea Entertainment."
