Chapter 318

"Dongchang needs people like you."

This sentence originated from Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Chamber in the TV series "the best in the world", once swept the whole country of the great heaven.

The same applies to Hollywood.

Chris meledand is the founder of the animation department of fox pictures. Although the animation works produced in recent years have caused a huge loss to Fox pictures, it can be called a great loss, but we can not deny the contribution of the animation department of fox pictures.

In 1989, the Simpsons came from the animation department of fox pictures. As soon as it came out, it was loved by countless children and became a trump in the field of American animation in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Sony Columbia Pictures.

Amy Pascal, who has just assumed the post of president of Sony Columbus pictures, held the company's executive meeting for the first time after learning that melender was swept out by Fox pictures.

"There is no doubt that melender is an animation genius!"

Amy Pascal solemnly said: "Pixar Animation, DreamWorks Animation and water world animation have risen one after another. Even blue sky studio has achieved good results in the Oscar Animation Awards. But what about Sony Columbia? "

"We have made almost no achievements in the cinema animation market!"

"So I think it's an opportunity. Solicit meledande and meledande's team, and form our Columbus animation team on this basis, so that we can share a piece of cake in the animation film market. "

Solicit?

As soon as the voice fell, several senior executives gave out disdainful laughter on the spot.

James Jackson, vice president, said, "President Pascal, are you kidding? You say melender is a genius in the field of animation, so I ask you, why did fox dismiss him? Why did the entire animation department and team be abolished? "

(Note: James Jackson, the vice president, went to court in 2004 because of the "domestic abuse" scandal, with an indemnity of 829000 US dollars.)

"I agree with the vice president of Jackson. Melender and his team, in just four years, made Fox Film lose more than $150 million. The box office market failed miserably, and the Oscars failed. What do we want him to do? " Roy, President of home entertainment, scoffed.

"Secondment!"

"Yes."

"We are not a garbage station. Why do we want so much garbage swept out?"

Hollywood has a tradition of chasing winners.

When you are successful, the directors and production companies will surround you and praise you. But when you are in a low ebb, mire and failure, there are not too many people who want to trample you to death.

At this moment, a large majority of Sony Columbia executives present opposed the proposal of President Amy Pascal.

"Do you really think this proposal is totally unnecessary?"

Amy Pascal, with an ugly face, asked again.

"Pascal, although you are the president of Sony Columbia Pictures, do you want to ignore everyone's opinions? I believe that the board of directors of the group will not support you! " James Jackson, vice president, said in a low voice.

No face!

Yes, as a vice president, Jackson did not pay attention to the new president Pascal at all!

Why?

Because President Amy Pascal is a woman!

In Hollywood's major film companies, with 95% of male executives, the situation of female executives is quite conceivable.

At the same time, when Pascal was appointed president of Columbia Pictures in 1999, she seemed to lack certain qualities as a leader of the film company. Even speculation about when she will be fired by Sony's boss once became a hot topic in Hollywood.

Now Amy Pascal is nominally the head of Sony Columbia Pictures. In fact, she has no control at all. Many people are against her.

"Hum!"

Pascal snorted coldly: "remember! You must remember this meeting today. Because of your stupidity, we Columbia company missed a talent, an opportunity to let us return to the animated film market. You will be ashamed of your stupidity one day. "

After that, she also ignored the reaction of the public, called a "break up" and left the scene angrily.

.......

As the saying goes: someone step on, someone hold!

Fox pictures will melender and his team, abandoned my shoes, as if nothing else; Columbus pictures missed melender because of internal contradictions.

But... In Hollywood, there are still several film companies chasing them.

"Ha ha!"

"We don't even have a second tier film company that's chasing us," melender said. When they recruit me and my team, what space do I have? "

I'm sorry!

Although melender is a complete failure at present, he still has his own pride. He doesn't look up to those third - and fourth tier film companies.

He wants to go to the company, which has only six giants from beginning to end.

"I'll learn from Jeffrey carsenberg, and one day I'll take revenge on Fox pictures!"

Therefore, he does not have many choices.

Disney group was excluded first. People have Pixar Animation in hand. What do you need meledand for?

Paramount group is the second choice, but they and DreamWorks are engaged in a hot, extremely close, solicit melender, is not to add to the blockbuster DreamWorks Animation?

It's like you're chasing a girl, but you hook up with another girl, and you're flirting with her. What do you want both parties to think?

...

After eliminating multiple choices, there is only one most suitable object left: Universal Pictures.

However, Universal Pictures is now negotiating with Vivendi group of France about the acquisition. Where can we afford to meet him?

"Is there really no way out?" Melender was in a bit of a hurry.

Of course, the hundreds of people who were swept out by Fox together with melender were extremely anxious.

Even in the United States, a favorite job is not so easy to find, even in a very popular industry, just like the college entrance examination, with tens of millions of people running through a single wooden bridge.

At this time.

Zhuke's Wald pictures, it's here!

Melerdander himself and his team are excited.

Water world animation company well-known, far and near, is known as "two piglets" and "SpongeBob SquarePants". Recently, the "general mobilization of the sea" has been sold and known further.

"Chief, let's go!"

"Yes, I heard that water world animation will be listed in the US stock market in the near future. After we join in, we will definitely not lack funds."

Melender was persuaded.

Meanwhile, Zucker is looking forward to it.

"Little yellow man", "mean me", "pet secret"... Are all world-famous animated films. How can a thief like Zhu Ke not be moved?

The second watch is on.
