Chapter 347: Generous Tang boss

The special effects production of the film, generally speaking, 80% is solved by the computer in the later stage, and 20% is the establishment of the three-dimensional model.

The creation of the digital field is because James Cameron was dissatisfied with the production level of 3D models of Industrial Light and Magic at the beginning, which did not meet his conception of the "Titanic" ship, and this special effects company was established. engage.

Therefore, in terms of 3D technology research and development, the strength in the digital field is beyond the reach of even Industrial Light and Magic.

The special effects department in the digital field is world-renowned and very comprehensive, ranging from API-based dynamics plug-ins, implicit surface models of fluid particles, to small batch OTLs, all of which are very accurate and beautiful.

In particular, a large-scale, high-efficiency fluid dynamics calculation software based on a closed-flow container field independently developed in the digital field has a great effect on the special effects production of large scenes, and its efficiency can even be three times higher than that of ILM.

And the pictures of animated movies, usually the whole screen are special effects shots, which complement each other.

James Cameron is an artist. He is interested in making movies, holding art exhibitions, and sailing at sea. He is not in the mood to manage the company.

This also led to a perfect start in the digital field, but because the big boss was not doing his job properly and lacked sufficient channel support in business competition, he soon lost in the wave of special effects in Hollywood.

It's not about technology, it's about people!

Without the business provided by the film company, no matter how high the level of the digital field is, there can be no source of profit.

Now, Dunn intends to take over the digital field, which is of course in line with James Cameron's ideas!

Did he start this special effects company to make money?

Bullshit.

The industry doesn't make money at all.

In order to manage the company, in power?

Bullshit.

The management of the digital realm, he was never involved.

Cameron has only one idea for the digital field - that is, when he is making a movie, he can have a company that makes special effects exactly as he wants!

Based on his friendship with Dunn, is the digital domain in Dunn's hands different from his?

He and Dunn were originally the biggest partners.

And let Dunn take over the digital field, he also saved a lot of trouble.

Tang En will not cheat friends, at least not in terms of money. He made a lot of money and directly offered a high price of 20 million US dollars to the digital field!

You know, the digital field is only the third-largest special effects company in Hollywood.

The second-ranked Pacific Digital Imaging Studio was acquired by DreamWorks Animation last year for a total amount of only 17 million US dollars.

Dunn's offer of 20 million US dollars is definitely full of sincerity!

James Cameron will naturally not care about the price difference of several million. The "Unsinkable" directed by him has a 10% global box office dividend, which will be a huge sum of money.

But the other two founders of the digital space, Stan Winston and Scott Ross, were very excited.

Tang En, really is the big boss!

Luxurious!

...

A week later, Toska Musk was called to Dunn's office again.

This time, the situation was obviously different. Even the little secretary, Ella Fisher, secretly winked at her, which was obviously a good thing.

"Tosca, sit down."

Dunn was very easy-going, picked up a thick stack of documents from his desk, walked to the sofa opposite Tosca Musk and sat down, and pushed the documents over.

"What is this?" Tosca Musk was slightly startled.

Tang En said lightly: "In the past few days, I have discussed with several senior management of the company, and we agreed that...you are the person we need!"

Of course this is his side of the word.

According to Bill McNick, the attitude towards Tosca Musk is: either give up early and decisively, or increase support.

A person as assertive as she is, with such a strong subjective initiative in her work, is the backbone of her work, but if she doesn't use it well... it is very likely to be a pack of explosives.

Obviously, Dunn cast a vote of confidence.

The reason why Dunn wants to remove Tony Grammer, the head of the starz TV network, is not because he is too lacking in opinion?

Tosca Musk is independent, autonomous, open-minded and strong-minded, and is worthy of Dunn's trust.

More importantly, the more female executives in Dunn Pictures, the more support Dunn has for feminism.

This is the unification of macro strategy.

Hearing Dunn's words, Tosca Musk immediately woke up, this was a very formal "organization" conversation, and he immediately sat upright and listened attentively.

Tang En said: "This is a document for Tang En Pictures to acquire the remaining 50% equity of Siliwood Animation. The price is 35 million US dollars. You can take a look. If there is no problem, you can sign it. Oh, by the way, on your brother's side, you too It's up to you to explain clearly."

When Siliwood Animation was founded, Dunn Pictures invested $30 million, accounting for 50% of the shares; Elon Musk invested $20 million in his sister, accounting for 40% of the shares.

Tosca Musk, as manager, holds 10% of the management stock.

It's less than a year now, and Dunn has raised the price of a company worth 50 million US dollars to 70 million US dollars, showing enough extravagance.

Of course, there is domineering!

This is obviously a transaction negotiated by the two parties. Dunn determined the price unilaterally, prepared the documents, and only waited for the other party's confirmation.

There is no room for bargaining!

Tosca Musk took the document, glanced at it briefly, and smiled: "My brother would definitely be very happy if he knew that I made so much money for him."

"So...are you alright?"

"Of course, the price is very fair! Unfortunately, I have no management shares."

Tang En waved his hand and said, "Tang En Films is still in the stage of strategic development, and has not undergone shareholding reform, but I will keep in mind the employees who have contributed to the company. You don't have to worry about this."

Tosca Musk smiled tenderly: "I know, this transaction has already proved the boss's atmosphere."

Tang En pointed at her with a smile and shook his head, "There are two more things I want to tell you. First, I have completed the acquisition in the digital field and I am in the process of signing a contract. I hope you will take over this as the vice president of Tang En Pictures. case, and then take the post-acquisition digital realm and put it into Slimwood Animation.”

Tosca Musk was stunned.

Dunn's words are too informative!

"In the digital field, the acquisition has been completed? It has reached the stage of signing the contract? Too fast! It's only been a week!"

Tang En said angrily: "If you offer $20 million to the digital field, you can close the acquisition within half a month!"

Tosca Musk pouted, "Sure enough, he's a big boss, rich! But...what's the matter with the vice president? Am I...promoted?"

Tang En smiled and said, "Why, not satisfied?"

"No, no, it's too unexpected!" Tosca Musk even forgot his excitement, and his face was full of surprise.

Whether it is qualifications or experience, she is obviously not qualified for the position of vice president of Dunn Pictures.

The president of Dunn Pictures is Bill McNick, and the vice president is West Cotton. They are both former 20th Century Fox executives and have had outstanding performance in the past.

But she...was too young.

Tang En pondered: "I gave you this position mainly to show the importance I attach to the animation industry. Of course, it is also related to the pattern you showed when we talked last time. I appreciate your strategic thinking."

Tosca Musk said tentatively: "You want to... let me be in charge of the strategic business of Dunn Pictures? Isn't this Mr. Cotton in charge?"

Dunn said: "The focus of your work, of course, is still Hollywood animation. With additional tasks, I hope you can have a good relationship with Viacom when handing over "Fantastic Four"."

Tosca Musk understood immediately, his eyes lit up, "So...Is my thinking correct last time?"

Dunn smiled and nodded, "Not only me, Bill also agrees."

Tosca Musk pursed his lips and smiled very happily.

This feeling of being affirmed by leaders and realizing self-worth is really better than dating.

Dunn went on to say: "According to your idea, "Fantastic Four" can be transferred to Nickelodeon Channel at a low price, it just so happens that "American Idol" produced by Dick Clark Television Production Company under Dunn Pictures is also the partner. Viacom's cbs. I hope you can be in charge of these two businesses and establish enough friendship with Viacom...that is, Mr. Redstone."

Tosca Musk smiled playfully, "Don't you want me to use my body to please that old man?"

Dunn frowned, "Tosca, this joke is not funny at all! You are the professional elite I focus on training, not a third-rate actor! In fact, even actors, I will not force them to do this kind of thing. thing."

"Okay, I apologize." Tosca Musk raised his hands~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then said with a smile, "I know what you mean, establishing a good relationship with Redstone... It's all an illusion. , that old guy, has more life experience than the two of us combined, it's hard to please him, our strategy is to be paralyzed."

"Yes, numb!"

Dunn affirmed her statement, "With the screening of "Spider-Man", the sta TV network has entered the attention of family audiences, and then, your first task is to paralyze Redstone and let him not stop in the short term. Get your hands on the sta TV network!"

"short term?"

"At least until September!"

"September?"

Tosca Musk's delicate brows frowned slightly, "In 4 months, it's very easy to deal with. But... Dunn, you are sure that the sta TV network will be able to compete in these short months. The strength of the sho TV network?"

"cannot!"

"what?"

Tang En smiled slightly and sold out, "But I have a secret weapon that can instantly increase explosive power."

Tosca Musk blinked, "Is it "Band of Brothers"?"

Tang En rolled his eyes and said angrily, "You have a lot of news!"

"A TV series... can change the landscape of cable TV?" Tosca Musk obviously didn't believe it and looked suspicious.

Tang En waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about it. Your task is to do public relations for Lei Shidong for me as a vice president!"

"no problem!"

Tosca Musk took a deep breath and answered neatly, then blinked his eyes with a half-smile, "What about my big animated movie? How much are you going to invest in me?"

"$80 million!"

"what?"

Tosca Musk stared at Dunn in a daze, and finally was speechless.

Boss Tang, how lavish!
