Entertainment Empire System
Chapter 1,300 Rights and Responsibilities
Time has turned green onion into gray hair, and wasted time has turned yesterday into quicksand. And today, who plucked the strings of time and let tears fall on the Zhiya of time.
Of course Ye Ming doesn't care about Universal. With less than 5 million in investment, they won't pay much attention to this movie. Moreover, Universal is a company in the entertainment industry, and at least on the surface it will follow the rules of the entertainment industry.
As long as Universal wants to work in Hollywood, it will at least follow the rules of the entertainment industry. If they follow the rules of the entertainment industry, then Ye Ming will not be afraid of anything. As for whether there are any tricks secretly planned, it's hard to say.
In fact, Ye Ming is not afraid of what they do secretly.
After all, it is said that on such an issue, Ye Ming is not without people behind him. But what Ye Ming cares about most now is indeed Madoff. This guy is simply an old fox. The biggest Ponzi scheme of this century was created by this guy. You can imagine how high this guy's IQ is, but his emotional intelligence will definitely put aside love. Go to a few streets in Instein.
Anyway, no matter how much attention is paid to Tang people like this, they cannot be overestimated. George didn't feel any pain about this, because he didn't know what kind of person Madoff was. On a question like this, Madoff's disguise could still deceive some people.
Therefore, George didn't care much about Ye Ming's words and said easily: "Isn't Madoff not involved in the movie?
A financial person doesn't just want to launder money. He is not alone in Hollywood. He just manages money and doesn't care about anything else. Don't worry, I will help you pay attention to this. By the way, let's change the contract thing. The company has decided to give you a B-level contract. This is the company's emphasis on you. In the Chinese entertainment industry, the only actors who are higher than you are Cheng Long and Li Lianjie. "
Ye Ming knew that his contract would be replaced by a second-tier contract sooner or later. This was related to his changes in the entertainment industry. Although Ye Ming was said to be influential in the past, he had never acted as a leading actor after all.
This time, although it is said to be a money laundering movie made by the guy from Universal, there is no doubt that this Fast and Furious is a top-notch production.
Therefore, in a contract like this, William Morris is not willing to give it to Ye Ming, but Innovation will be given to Ye Ming. This is to win over Ye Ming.
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and said: "Why is it a B-level contract? Isn't it an A-level contract? What I got this time is a top-level production. In Hollywood, 50 million should be considered a top-level production movie, right? Why wasn't it given to me? An A-level contract."
From Ye Ming's point of view, he should actually be offered a first-tier contract with the Creative Artist Agency this time, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would just be offered a B-level contract.
George rolled his eyes at Ye Ming and said, "Boss Ye, forget it. This Hollywood has Hollywood rules. We have a complete calculation method for what level of contract an actor should be given. How about it?" It is not up to one person to decide what kind of contract to give, it is decided by the company.
An investment of 50 million is indeed considered a top-notch production in Hollywood, and although you have begun to receive invitations to star in top-tier Hollywood movies, you have not actually starred in it at this time.
After you finish playing The Fast and the Furious, if your next movie is of the same level, then you don’t need to tell us that our company will switch you to a top-notch production. On this point, the company will still No one can be an exception. "
Although George still said that he was very similar to the artist who made Ye Ming an A-level contract, because if Ye Ming's contract became an A-level contract, then as an agent, George's own commissions and other things would be very high. Many.
Therefore, in such a matter, Ye Ming's interests are actually the same as George's interests, and there is no conflict between the two.
But at this time, it doesn’t mean that you want an A-level contract or it must be an A-level contract. Now Ye Ming is given a B-level contract because Ye Ming has already reached this point. A B-level contract is in line with Ye Ming's status. Therefore, without Ye Ming saying anything, the people from Innovation Company naturally said that they would change the contract.
At this time, Ye Ming said without thinking: "Is it because the first movie I received was a top-level production, and the company was afraid that my performance would not be stable? If the second one is also a top-level production, Does that mean my value is expressed in the starring role?"
George nodded very firmly and said: "It's almost like this. In fact, many stars in Hollywood are like this. They received the starring position of their first top-level production. At this time, It starts to swell. If the first top-level film cannot get enough box office, they will soon be pushed back to the second tier. This is not uncommon in Hollywood.
Therefore, the company will not give Yanyan a contract promotion casually. Only if your first film is a top-level production, and the box office of this top-level production cannot be a loss, the best box office is to make money, and with the development of surrounding areas, you can be sure that the actor really has A-level value, so If so, the company will give you an A-level contract.
Therefore, when it comes to an issue like this, no matter what it is, the parent company also needs to look at the stability of an actor. The company wants actors with stable performance, not disposable paper cups. You should understand the company's difficulties. "
A-level contracts are indeed not that easy to get. After hearing this, Ye Ming was also very helpless, but the actual situation is indeed like this. On this issue, Ye Ming said helplessly: "Can Guaranteeing box office is quite difficult. It seems that not many stars in Hollywood can get A-level contracts. Isn't there a reason for this?"
George also nodded and said: "An A-level contract must have A-level treatment. The company will take care of it in terms of publicity and other aspects. Therefore, at this time, almost all second- and third-tier stars will I was hoping to get a contract like this.
If you can get an A-level contract, then such a thing will also guarantee your career. At least within two or three years.
You don't have to worry that your career will not develop at this time. The company will give a lot of help, whether in movies or awards. You know, whether it’s the Golden Globes or the Oscars, there are always people above us. "
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and said: "Does it mean that Oscars can also be operated behind closed doors? If it is determined by default, will it be exposed?" If this is really the case, then this matter will be a relatively big scandal. .
George laughed and said: "The Oscar will not be determined by default. This is too troublesome. After all, it is impossible for so many judges to handle it all. But there are many judges who are related to our company. A little influence on the Oscar will be No problem. You will understand this when you get an A-level contract."
In Hollywood, it is not impossible for independent films to win awards, but they are rare. Unless it is a truly extraordinary and truly artistically produced independently produced film, it is possible to break the monopoly of the Big Eight in Hollywood. Generally speaking, the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars can only be won by films with a background and company.
Therefore, regarding a question like this, no matter how it is said that Ye Ming has begun to get involved in this circle, he needs to understand some of the unspoken rules of this circle.
For example, the contract issue this time is something that Ye Ming has never encountered before. In the past, lawyers would naturally handle everything, but this time, Ye Ming has to choose his own future path. Keep going like this.
Ye Ming pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Balance, I will pay attention to things like this. If you don't sign an A-level contract, I won't sign it. Wait until the next movie. When this happens, I will let innovation He came to deliver the contract to me in person."
Speaking of this, Ye Ming was full of confidence. He entered Hollywood just to have a better development. It seems that it is not impossible for Ye Ming to go to Hollywood and become an A-level star. And sometimes, what is missing is just an opportunity.
Now Ye Ming's opportunity has come. Fast and Furious, although not many people are optimistic about this movie, and even investors Madoff have no interest in it. But at this time, Ye Ming did believe that this was a very good movie, and he was confident that it would do well at the box office.
But Ye Ming has such confidence, it is impossible for them to have such confidence. Universal's own evaluation department believes that Fast and Furious has no audience. But in fact, when it comes to such a problem, almost everyone does it this way.
If you do this, more people will be able to help Hollywood bear the risks of film investment. Hollywood is so big, but there are very few movies that can actually make money at the box office every year.
If you mean making money by turning it into peripheral products or something, then basically many Hollywood movies survive based on this. This is also the means of survival for most Hollywood movies.
Therefore, if Ye Ming himself has such great confidence, it is impossible for others to have such great confidence. George thinks that Ye Ming is arrogant. It is not wrong that Ye Ming has a background, but if he says that without good works, it is impossible for Chuangxin to give an A-level contract. In this regard, as Chuangxin's agent, he is Very clear.
Back at the company, Sister Fang Fang immediately came to the door and said: "Boss, this time we have signed such a contract with Universal to invest in their movie, and this is your first Hollywood movie in which you play the leading role. I think so It’s time to give it a good publicity.”
In fact, many reporters were waiting for this news. Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "There is no need to specially find reporters to hold a press conference. The company cooperates with Universal. This can be used for publicity to ensure that our brilliant film and television has continuous news happening in the entertainment industry. "
In the entertainment industry, news means exposure. If there is enough exposure, there will be more opportunities to perform. Moreover, when it comes to an issue like this, more people actually want to expose it as soon as possible. But when it comes to a problem like this, some things are not that simple.
Sister Fang Fang was also very curious and said: "This is a good opportunity to promote yourself. Now our Chinese actors want to open a top-notch film in Hollywood and star in it. This is almost impossible. Why not Let’s spread the word.”
Yes, it is almost said that very few Chinese stars can star in top-level Hollywood movies. Even Cheng Long focused his main energy on China.
Therefore, Ye Ming's signing of Fast and Furious at this time is a very good publicity opportunity. Sister Fang Fang actually didn't understand why Ye Ming didn't want to publicize this matter?
Ye Ming said with a smile: "I want to know that if we publicize this matter, it will be very beneficial to me, but don't forget, now is the time of Super Girl. If it is my news, we will If there is a large-scale hype, it will have a certain impact on Super Girl.
Even if I don’t tell you about the news about the separate documents, if our company doesn’t hype it, reporters will help hype it up. Therefore, we don’t have to worry about it, otherwise, it will steal Super Girl’s limelight. Besides, By the time Supergirl is over, Fast and Furious has almost started filming. In this case, we have plenty of time to hype up. "
Ye Ming is not only an actor, but also a boss. Therefore, such an issue makes Ye Ming a special existence among actors. But since this is the case, then Ye Ming, as the boss, is You must assume certain responsibilities.
For example, this time, if he hypes up his own news, he will definitely compete with Supergirl for the limelight. Therefore, for one reason, he cannot hype it up, which can be considered a sacrifice.
While enjoying the benefits brought by a powerful position, one must also assume certain responsibilities. (To be continued)
