Chapter 313 The East Factory Needs Talents Like You!

"The East Factory needs talents like you."

This sentence originating from the TV series "No. 1 in the world", the director of the East Factory, Cao Zhengchun, was once popular in the north and south of the Great Celestial Dynasty.

The same applies to Hollywood.

Chris Melardand is the founder of the animation department of Fox Pictures. Although the animation works produced in recent years have caused Fox Pictures to form huge losses, it can be called a big loss, but it cannot be denied that Fox Pictures has made huge losses. Contributions of the industry animation department.

In 1989, the animation work "The Simpsons" came from the animation department of Fox Pictures. Once it came out, it was loved by countless children and became the ace drama in the American animation field in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Sony Columbia Pictures.

Amy Pascal, who just took up the post of president of Sony Columbus Pictures, convened a company executive meeting for the first time after learning that Meledand was kicked out of Fox Pictures.

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

Amy Pascal said solemnly: "Pixar Animation, DreamWorks Animation, Water World Animation have risen one after another, and even Blue Sky Studio has achieved good results in the Oscar animation awards. But what about us Sony Columbia?"

"We are almost completely useless in the cinema animation market!"

"So, I think it's an opportunity. To recruit Meledand, recruit Meledand's team, and build our animation team in Columbus based on that, so we can get a piece of the pie in the animated film market."

Solicit?

As soon as the words fell, several executives laughed disdainfully on the spot.

Vice President James Jackson, curled his lips: "President Pascal, are you kidding me? You said that Melodand is a genius in the animation field, so I ask you, why did Fox Pictures fire him? Animation department and team?"

(Note: Vice President James Jackson was sued in court in 2004 for a "domestic abuse" scandal and paid $829,000 in damages.)

"I agree with VP Jackson. Melodand and his team have cost Fox Studios over $150 million in just 4 years. The box office market has failed miserably, and the Oscars have failed. Let's just ask, we want to What is he doing here?" Royle, president of the home entertainment department, sneered.

"Seconded!"

"Agree."

"We are not a garbage station. Why do we need so much garbage that has been swept out of the house?"

It's a tradition that Hollywood chases winners.

When you are successful, directors and production companies will revolve around you, and they will praise you, but when you fall into a low point, a quagmire, and a failure, there are not too many people who want to trample you to death.

At this moment, most of the Sony Columbia executives present were opposed to the proposal of President Amy Pascal.

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

Amy Pascal looked extremely ugly, and asked another question.

"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!" Vice President James Jackson said solemnly.

Made me look bad!

That's right, Jackson, as the vice president, completely ignored the new president Pascal!

Why?

Because President Amy Pascal is a woman!

In the major Hollywood studios, male executives account for 95% of the situation, the situation of female executives is completely conceivable.

Meanwhile, when Pascal was named president of Columbia Pictures in 1999, it seemed to the outside world that she lacked something of a studio leader. Even guessing when she will be fired by the Sony boss has become a hot topic in Hollywood for a time.

The current Amy Pascal is nominally the head of Sony Columbia Pictures, but in fact has no power at all, and many people oppose her.

"Humph!"

Pascal snorted coldly: "Remember! You must remember this meeting today. Just because of your stupidity, our Columbia company missed a talent, an opportunity that would allow us to return to the animation film market. You... .One day, I will be ashamed for today's stupidity~"

After speaking, she ignored everyone's reaction, shouted "dismiss the meeting", and left the venue angrily.

......

As the saying goes: if someone steps on it, someone will hold it!

Fox Films dismissed Meledand and his team as if it were a piece of cake; Columbus Films missed Meledand because of internal conflicts.

But... Hollywood as a whole, there are still several studios chasing them.

"Ha ha!"

Meledand laughed at himself: "The film company that is chasing us doesn't even have a second-tier film company. They recruited me and my team, what room do I have?"

sorry!

Although Meledand is a complete loser at present, he still has his own pride, and he despises those third- and fourth-tier film companies.

He wants to go to the company, and there are only six companies from the beginning to the end.

"I'll learn from Jeffrey Katzenberg and get my revenge on Fox someday!"

Therefore, there are not many objects for him to choose from.

The Disney Group was first ruled out. They have Pixar animations in their hands, why do they need Meledand?

Paramount Group is the second choice, but they are getting hot with DreamWorks, very close, and recruiting Meledand, isn't it adding to DreamWorks Animation?

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

...

After eliminating multiple options, there is only one most suitable object - Universal Pictures.

However, Universal Pictures is currently negotiating acquisitions with the French Vivendi Group. Where can I expect to see him Meledand?

"Is there really nothing that can be done?" Meledand was a little anxious.

Of course, the team of hundreds of people who were swept out by Fox along with Meledande were even more anxious.

Even in the United States, a dream job is not so easy to find, and even an extremely sought-after industry is like the college entrance examination.

Just at this time.

Zucker's Wald Pictures is here!

Meledand himself and his team were a little excited.

The Water World Animation Company is already famous for its two TV series "Peppa Pig" and "SpongeBob SquarePants". Recently, "Finding Nemo" has become a big hit, and its popularity has been further improved.

"Boss, let's go!"

"Yes, I heard that Water World Animation will be listed on the US stock market soon. After we join in, we will definitely not be short of funds."

Everyone persuaded Meledand.

At the same time, Zucker is also looking forward to it.

"Minions", "Despicable Me", "The Secret Life of Pets"... are all world-famous animated films. Chicken thieves like classmate Zhu Ke, how can you not be moved?

" "The second is sent.
