Chapter 304 DreamWorks Four Tigers
Because Su Chen is really in a hurry, he has to go to Boston to attend the AIESEC exchange meeting, right now, there are only two days, and the day after tomorrow is the day of the exchange meeting, he doesn't have so much time to go around in circles with these two people.

He went on to say: "I just established DreamWorks Group, 20th Century Fox merged into DreamWorks, Mr. Ryder still serves as the president of the film company, and Mr. Diller serves as the president of the TV network I plan to form."

"So if the two of you are willing to join the DreamWorks Group, I will give you the same treatment. Each of you will have 6% of the shares, and the decision-making power will be greatly delegated to you."

"I don't have that much time to stay in New York, I hope you two can give me an answer as soon as possible."

After hearing Su Chen's words, Tom Rothman and Chris Wedge couldn't help but look at each other.

This mysterious oriental man is really direct enough.

As soon as they met, they directly revealed that they were eager for talents, and they were willing to give 6% of the shares. You must know that one of these two people is drawing animation for Disney, and the other is only working for Samuel Goldwyn Films .

I was really confused by Su Chen's series of operations.

Completely blindfolded.

After a long time, Chris Wedge asked, "I have a question."

"Please say."

"What does Mr. Su think of the animation film industry?" Chris Wedge had to ask this clearly. He didn't want this guy to get hot headed, and then he followed his head and ran here, but ended up dying within a few days. Get fired.

Hearing this question, Su Chen knew that Chris Wedge seemed to be interested.

Su Chen also looked serious: "To be honest, although Disney's 3D animation is very brilliant now, I think Disney's [-]D animation will be eliminated sooner or later, and the future may be [-]D animation.

Since I can't compete with Disney's 3D animation now, I'm going to get ready to do [-]D animation first, which is why I want to acquire Lucas' computer animation department. "

"Mr. Su, what do you think 3D animation should look like?" Chris Wedge then asked.

Su Chen said: "I think that 3D animation is not limited by time, space, place, conditions, and objects. It uses various forms of expression to concentrate, simplify, and visualize complex and abstract program content, scientific principles, and abstract concepts. , expressed in vivid form.”

"Witch, you must know more about this than me, because you have a master's degree in computer graphics, and you know better than me how to do 3D animation. I hope you can serve as the vice chairman of DreamWorks Animation and the computer Animation studio director and producer."

Chris Wedge couldn't help pondering, because what Su Chen said he really had an idea, otherwise he wouldn't have created Blue Sky Studio together later.

But in this time and space, Blue Sky Studio no longer exists, only Su Chen's DreamWorks Animation.

Tom Rothman thought about it for a while, and asked, "I don't know what kind of independent searchlight company you are talking about, Mr. Su?"

“Specializing in British films, comedies and horror films, as well as non-English-language films, and occasionally involved in film financing, it needs to have its own distribution channels.

Rather than pre-ordering films through the company's distribution arm, of course, this is not because the company cannot provide such help, but the two lines must be separated.

We need to do what is good for the film, not order it because we owe the exhibitor a blockbuster.It is important to maintain our own independent marketing and domestic distribution, because our films need to be treated independently. "

Su Chen said: "Different from Miramax selling international copyrights, we will do the opposite. Searchlight will be integrated into Fox's international business. We will travel all over the world to sell the value of these films to people."

"Secondly, we must adhere to commercial principles. Due to competitive pressure, other companies allow the cost of dedicated films to rise, but we must not do so."

After listening to Su Chen's comments, Tom Rothman asked, "How many people are there in the company now?"

"No, buddy, this independent company has only an empty shell now. If you are willing to join the company, you need to set up the structure." Su Chen said.

He has so many companies now, if every company has to do it himself, wouldn't he be exhausted?

It is necessary to delegate power and do what a superior person should do.

Originally, I thought that these two people would need to think about it for a long time, but I didn't expect that it would only take a moment. Tom Rothman said: "Mr. Su, I am willing to take charge of this business."

Because he is not yet an executive of the Samuel Goldwyn film company, that is, a small employee, suddenly there is such an opportunity in front of him, he naturally has to find a way to seize it.

"Okay, welcome to join DreamWorks Group, buddy, I have to say, thank you for choosing our company." Su Chen held out his hand with a smile.

Tom Rothman also smiled: "Thank you boss for the opportunity. I have to say that I am overwhelmed by boss's charisma."

Maybe his current state is the same as when Lao Cai first went to see Lao Ma. Although I don't know what you are talking about, I feel that you are very awesome.

Clara's briefcase has already prepared documents, and since Tom Rothman is willing to join, that would be the best.

After signing the documents, DreamWorks added another member of the team.

After all, working for others is always part-time work, but if you work for yourself, it must feel different.

Su Chen said: "Although I gave you only 6% of the shares in the early stage, I can promise you that I will increase your ability in the future. The one sitting next to me is Mr. Clara. He is a barrister. Guys, I hope we can take 20th Century Fox further."

"When I heard this, I suddenly looked forward to a share increase." Diller said with a smile.

Because it's not just shares, he also has a salary, and it's not low. Sometimes money is far more practical than dreams.

Chris Wedge said: "If it's what Mr. Su said, I can also join DreamWorks Animation, but I need to resign before I can join the job."

"Everything is as I told you." Su Chen said: "Because I still have a lot of things, so you don't have to ask me everything, and at the same time, I don't limit your performance. I believe in one sentence, professional things It is more appropriate to leave it to professional people to handle it.”

"Okay, Mr. Su, I will join the job as soon as possible." Chris Wedge also came to the spirit, and being able to do what he likes is a temptation for many people.

Clara produced the document for him to sign.

"You are welcome to join DreamWorks." Su Chen shook hands with them in turn: "Whether it is the film department or the animation department, or the TV network has become an independent company, the structure is dominated by you. I believe in your ability, and there is no need to ask me report.

I'm still in college in Boston, so give me a call if there's anything you guys can't handle. "

It is impossible for him to stare at these departments every day, or is it a waste of money?
But it just means that he doesn't have time to stare at it now, and it doesn't mean that he will be the shopkeeper in the future.

Alan Ladd Jr. organized a simple reception, and everyone got to know each other very quickly, because except for Su Chen, everyone was equal, each responsible for a department, and there was no conflict of interest.

After encouraging everyone, they went back to each house to find their mothers.

Although I also registered with a record company, there is no need to make such a fuss now, and it is not because of too much money.

Might as well use that little money to do something more meaningful.

The trip to Hollywood is almost over, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him in Boston.

……

In the evening, as soon as I got back to the hotel, the phone in the room rang.

Su Chen grabbed the phone: "Hello..."

"Boss, it's me." Tang Wanru's long-lost voice came from the phone: "There is something that I must report to you immediately..."
