Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 638

"Mr. Chen, there is another situation that I need to report to you." Chang Hongsong said.

"What's the situation?" Chen Hao frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Two senior team leaders in the company came to me directly, saying that they wanted to set up a special effects company by themselves after the contract expired." Chang Hongsong said.

"What's the reason?" Chen Hao asked.

"They said that they don't want to be restrained, and at the same time they want to venture out and be their own boss." Chang Hongsong replied.

"Do you think this is what they really think?" Chen Hao asked, "Or have they been poached again?"

"It should be true. After all, we have been following me since the Xiangjiang period. Before that, our idea was to study in Xiangjiang for a few years. After the technology matured, we would return to the mainland to start our own business. But we didn't expect their idea to still exist.

And through this incident, I feel that there are still some people who use Haotian special effects as a springboard and go out to start a company after they have completed their studies, and they will definitely not be eliminated in the future. "Chang Hongsong replied.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, most of them are looking for a job with peace of mind, but there must be a lot of people who want to start their own businesses.

"Then what do you decide to do?" Chen Hao asked.

"I think they are all old people in the company, and they came to talk on their own initiative, so it's not good to refuse." Chang Hongsong said, "I want to agree to let them leave, but I want to buy shares in their special effects company and let them go out and make money. Scattered leaves, but it is inseparable from Haotian special effects."

Chen Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This idea is interesting."

"It is indisputable that Haotian Special Effects has become the leader in the industry, but this does not mean that it can always monopolize the industry. There will definitely be competitors in the future. Naturally, we will try our best to retain talents.

But if you really can't keep them, you can reach an agreement with them, help them set up a company, and even help them contact some jobs, so as to firmly control them by Haotian Special Effects.

Facing competitors in this way, Haotian Special Effects is no longer just one person, but an alliance, with both strength and power, it can stand firm. "Chang Hongsong laughed.

"Hahaha, that's a good idea." Chen Hao nodded, "Since you've thought it all over, I support your decision."

"Thank you Mr. Chen!" Chang Hongsong heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Finally, the matter of being poached has been dealt with.

After Chen Hao ended his phone call with Chang Hongsong, he was naturally busy with the promotion of "Pacific Rim".

But good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

As soon as Chen Hao and Chang Hongsong discussed the solution, the matter of Haotian's special effects being poached was exposed.

"Brilliant! The two top executives of Haotian Special Effects and 20 technical backbones collectively jumped ship!" --- Sohu Entertainment Report
"BASE FX and Chengtian Entertainment took action and poached 22 high-level and technical talents from Haotian Special Effects!" --- New Wolf Entertainment
"A total of 22 people from the project teams of "Kung Fu Panda" and "Pacific Rim" quit! Haotian Special Effects is about to be disbanded?" --- Netease Entertainment
"Haotian Special Effects was poached by BASE FX and Chengtian Entertainment, and the Mainland Special Effects will be three pillars?!" --- Qiandu Entertainment
……

The matter about Haotian's special effects being poached instantly became popular in the media and the Internet, attracting the attention of countless people.

After all, the exposure rate of Haotian Special Effects during this period is too high. The success of "Kung Fu Panda" and "Pacific Rim" directly made Haotian Special Effects a world-class special effects company.

Coupled with the hype of the media, and the explosive box office of "Kung Fu Panda" with a global box office of 6.31 million US dollars, Haotian special effects can be said to have become the pride of China!
Now the news that Haotian Special Effects has been poached, and may even be disbanded, has naturally attracted countless eyeballs.

Huayi.

"Haha, I thought about poaching people before, but I didn't expect someone to do it already." The king watched the media reports and couldn't help laughing.

Dawang had the idea of ​​doing special effects before, because the role of special effects in movies has already begun to show.

The key is that Haotian has done it, how can I, Huayi, fall behind?

However, Xiao Wang persuaded him to quit with reasons such as the cycle being too long, talent shortage, and slow money coming in.

But after seeing the global box office of "Kung Fu Panda", the king's eyes are red. After all, it is 6 million, and it is US dollars. Who can not be jealous.

So the idea of ​​doing special effects popped up again.

"This is how the big tree attracts the wind. If one family monopolizes, it will definitely attract everyone's siege." Xiao Wang also gloated.

"Let's not talk about this first." The king waved his hand, then frowned, "What do you think about special effects?"

Xiao Wang was silent when he heard the words. There were many reasons for objecting before, but after seeing "Kung Fu Panda", he was also tempted.

And now that Huayi has raised funds again, there is no shortage of money for the time being, and BASE FX and Chengtian Entertainment have also taken the lead in recruiting people. If a "Kung Fu Panda" is produced, it will be enough to last for several years.

"How about we do it too?" Xiao Wang said.

"That's it." The king immediately said, "The company will set up a special effects department. You can find the people, and I will find the money."

"Okay!" Xiao Wang nodded when he heard the words, "I don't know how that boy Chen Hao will feel if he is poached again."

The king shook his head when he heard the words, this younger brother, after all, is a bit small.

Chengtian.

"I didn't expect Mr. Wu to move so fast!" Wang Jinhua looked at Wu Kebo and sighed.

"Soldiers are expensive and fast!" Wu Kebo laughed, "And the special effects are indeed very promising. You can only blame Haotian for wanting to eat alone. By the way, the press conference should have started, right?"

Wang Jinhua nodded upon hearing this.

Today is the day when MOREVFX was officially established. Originally, Xu Jian wanted to keep a low profile, but Chengtian Entertainment wanted to make a big splash, obviously to save Haotian's face.

Xu Jian had no choice but to agree, after all, he was the patron.

In addition to the 10 technical backbones brought by Xu Jian and him, MOREVFX also has 20 special effects and animation talents recruited by Chengtian Entertainment itself. The entire studio has a scale of 31 people.

Apparently Chengtian Entertainment has long planned to set up a special effects studio, and has already made preparations.

And Xu Jian and 10 technical backbones have participated in the production of "Kung Fu Panda" and "Pacific Rim", and their business ability is not to be said. Today's opening also indicates that it is officially competing with Haotian.

At the same time, MOREVFX also announced that it will spend 6000 million yuan to produce a 3D animation film, which is expected to be officially released in 2011.

Even the investment is 500 million more than "Kung Fu Panda", the intention to force Haotian's special effects is too obvious!

"Mr. Xu, can your new animation compare with "Kung Fu Panda"?"

"We have experience in producing "Kung Fu Panda" and "Pacific Rim", and the animated films we produce can only be said to be as effective as "Kung Fu Panda". You can wait and see." Xu Jian said confidently.

This is also his greatest reliance. After all, he has real kung fu and hard power, and he speaks hard.

Now let's see how the work is coming out and how the box office is doing!

On the other side, Haotian issued a statement. The departure of 22 people including Li Kai and Xu Jian was just a normal turnover of the company. They have a bright future.

At the same time, Haotian Special Effects also announced the company's next plan. Haotian Special Effects will start the production of 4 animated films at the same time.

In addition to "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Despicable Me" released years ago, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" and "Kung Fu Panda 2" have also been added!
The production cost of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is 6000 million yuan, and the production cost of "Kung Fu Panda 2" has risen to 9000 million yuan!

Adding in the 8000 million of "How to Train Your Dragon" and the 7000 million of "Despicable Me", Haotian special effects invested 3 million at once!

At the same time, it invested 3 million yuan to produce 4 animation films to show the strong financial resources and profound heritage of Haotian Special Effects, which also made the media crazy.

Coupled with the company's personal connections, the media shifted the focus of their reports to Haotian Special Effects' huge and astonishing four major production plans!

In the interior of Haotian Special Effects, Chang Hongsong directly announced that he would reward the "Kung Fu Panda" project team with 500 million yuan. While the project team was boiling, the small turmoil within the company also disappeared invisible.

However, the new contract has to be negotiated slowly, but the storm of being poached has finally been resolved.
