Entertainment Empire System

This matter is actually not an easy matter. Everyone knows that if it were an easy matter, then everyone would discuss what to do together.

What's more, after so many years, the last time everyone made a fuss, the theater chain made some concessions and the share was increased to 42%. This was already considered a big victory.

But the situation is different. The last time was the last time, and this time is this time. Who doesn’t know that the entertainment industry is one of the most profitable industries?

In particular, movies are the most profitable industry in the entertainment industry. Therefore, everyone will stare at this big cake.

Therefore, what we are discussing together is how to strive for greater benefits. If we don’t strive for it, the movie that we have worked so hard to shoot will have 58% of it taken away by people from the theater. No one will see this. It just continued like that.

Even Brother Chen Kai, who has always been relatively fat and aloof, has already stood up at this time. It can be seen that this matter has reached a point where it must be resolved.

Of course, Brother Chen Kai and Ye Ming were not very good at dealing with each other. Although the relationship between the two men was somewhat eased later on, they were not to the point where they could just smile and forget their grudges.

Moreover, Brother Chen Kai is also a very noble person. He looks down on Zhang Yimou, a director with a background in photography, and thinks that he is a great international director with an orthodox background and a good foundation.

Later, although Zhang Yimou did achieve better results than him, everyone in the entertainment industry knew that he looked down on Lao Zhang, and the two of them tried their best to avoid seeing each other.

Although everyone is maintaining harmony on the surface, everyone knows that the two of them are competing with each other?

Even Zhang Yimou, who is at the national master level, is looked down upon by Brother Chen Kai from the bottom of his heart, let alone Ye Ming, which makes Brother Chen Kai even look down on him.

Therefore, at this time, Brother Chen Kai felt that if he took the initiative to ask Ye Ming, then this matter might be worse.

Therefore, at this time, Brother Chen Kai looked at Mr. Tang, and the meaning was very obvious, that is, you should be responsible for this matter.

As for Mr. Tang, he is actually an outsider, a producer, but he doesn't mix well in the industry.

Mr. Tang’s mother is the one who likes investing in movies the most. However, in the past two years, Mr. Tang has occasionally participated in some activities in the entertainment industry.

He is half of the entertainment industry, but he is only half of the entertainment industry. It is normal to say that he does not have a good understanding of the entertainment industry.

Therefore, in such a situation, it is normal for Mr. Tang to stand up and say something.

At this moment, Mr. Tang immediately said: "Mr. Ye, we also know about this, but you see, for the movies we invest in, we work hard to shoot the movies, from choosing the subject matter, recruiting the actors, creating the crew, to shooting It took a lot of hard work to complete, edit and dubbing, etc., but our share is only 42%. This is disproportionate to our efforts.

Therefore, I think that although things are a little more difficult, we still have to find ways to gain enough benefits for us.

If this does not increase our share, we will suffer even more losses in the future. We cannot stop doing things just because they are difficult. "

Ye Ming was not angry. Mr. Tang was a layman, so it was normal for him to say such things.

Although he can be regarded as a member of half of the circle, in fact he is at most the employer. The landlords and wealthy people who pay for it are people from the Tang family.

Therefore, it is normal for Mr. Tang to say something like this on such a matter. Businessmen value profits over separation. This matter does not seem to be a big deal to people in the entertainment industry.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "So Mr. Tang, what do you think we should do better? Many big guys in the circle are here, including management and directors, so it is relatively complete. .

So as we sit here, what kind of charter can we come up with?

Of course, everyone expresses his or her own opinion, Mr. Tang might as well express his own opinion. "

Mr. Tang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would still ask himself questions.

Because in fact, he didn't take such a thing seriously. How to increase the share was not something he considered. He was just here to watch the fun.

He is the investor and the one who gets the money. How to make money seems to him to be the director's business.

Therefore, he was just standing up for Brother Chen Kai.

But since Ye Ming said that he had already asked this question, Mr. Tang is not a fool.

Although he said that he did not expect Ye Ming to ask such a question in such a situation, he was still stunned and said: "A direct showdown, simply negotiate with the other side, otherwise, we will go on strike directly.

The Americans do this all the time, and basically every strike will yield some good results.

We think we should also be able to adopt such a method. Otherwise, those theater chains will think that we are easy to bully? "

This is what Mr. Tang thinks. He has also studied abroad and is quite optimistic about some of the practices of the Americans.

Therefore, since today I am saying that I have thought of such a problem, I will say it directly. Mr. Tang simply did not consider what the consequences would be once this matter was implemented.

In his opinion, this method has been used in the United States and even South Korea, so it can also be tried in China.

These words made the people present speechless for a while. It takes a lot of people who don't know much about the Chinese entertainment industry to say such things.

After all, in a situation like this, you have to know how to adapt to local conditions, right? But Mr. Tang seems to have forgotten this.

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This is simply impossible. One is that we don't have a writers union, and there is no one to organize such a thing. American screenwriters have a very high status in the entertainment industry. It is even said that screenwriters can decide some actors. candidate.

But in China, screenwriters are third-class citizens in the entertainment industry. Producers and directors have no problem reprimanding screenwriters as much as they want, or changing screenwriters as they please.

The Chinese entertainment industry may not be as good as Hollywood, but there are just so many people. There are many screenwriters, but if you are disobedient, I can replace you with an obedient screenwriter. In China, unless you are a top screenwriter, you generally don’t have any say.

Also, unless the screenwriter himself is a director or producer, the screenwriter's status in the Chinese entertainment industry is that of a third-class citizen.

Whether you believe it or not, this is a fact. Even some second-tier movie stars make more money than top-level screenwriters. This is a fact that no one can deny.

Therefore, there is no need to think about a strike or anything like that. We can't organize a strike by writers and actors or anything like that.

Believe it or not, even if you have the ability to make actors and writers go on strike, you just said here that there will definitely be more writers and actors over there who will step up to take your place.

Therefore, when it comes to an issue like this, there is no need to think about a strike, because it is impossible on our side.

Therefore, it is more practical for us to choose another method. "

Ye Ming's words made Mr. Tang speechless. They were really the same as what Ye Ming said. Under such a situation, it seemed impossible to threaten the theaters with a strike.

There are not many other places in China, but there are just a lot of people. No one can deny this.

At this point, the same is true in the entertainment industry. If you don't want to do it, there are many people who are willing to do it.

Ye Ming's words left Mr. Tang speechless. He didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but that didn't mean he wasn't a successful businessman. Profit was the most attractive thing. As long as he was rich, what kind of screenwriter would he be? Can't find the casting director?

Zhang Yimou glanced at it and was unwilling to continue the silence, so he took over the conversation and said: "In fact, we are here to discuss how to deal with this matter.

Ye Ming, before you come, apart from what Mr. Tang said, we have other options. One is to negotiate with the theaters through the leaders, and the other is for us to come forward and negotiate with them in person.

Another thing is that we use some connections to directly ask the people above to intervene administratively.

These three methods are the more effective methods we have considered at present.

However, these three methods all have certain drawbacks. Therefore, when it comes to a problem like this, it is quite troublesome for a few of us to discuss how to deal with it.

You came at the right time. Take a look at these three methods, which one is more suitable for the current situation. "

With so many people together, no matter what the situation is, we can always think of some more useful ways.

After all, the Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang, and most of the people in the entertainment industry are here. Therefore, it is relatively normal to think of some useful methods that are suitable for our national conditions.

Ye Ming thought for a while and then said: "I think direct negotiation is the most impossible. Everyone is a stakeholder in this kind of thing. Therefore, the possibility of direct negotiation collapsing is very high. of.

Moreover, once the talks break down, under such a situation, there will no longer be any room for relaxation.

Therefore, I think direct negotiation is the most undesirable on this matter.

Therefore, it is actually better for us to use the other two methods. After all, there can be room for moderation among us. "

Feng Xiaogang immediately followed up and said: "Yes, what did I say? In fact, I also think that direct negotiation is impossible. The theaters over there are either billionaires or members of the national team." , you said that if we go to negotiate, will they be willing to negotiate?

I also think direct negotiations are impossible. Who is willing to give up the benefits he talks about so easily?

Ye Ming's view is actually the same as mine. Ye Zi, tell me, how can we handle this matter better? Should we let the people above act as middlemen, or should we use our connections to directly ask the people above to take care of us poor filmmakers? "

Traps, these are all traps, Ye Ming can see this, after coming in, this is a complete set. Everyone has already discussed it and is just waiting to jump in.

But think about it, he is also a filmmaker and has to contribute to this matter. Therefore, Ye Ming frowned and then said: "You guys, just wait to dig a hole for me. You are doing this." Do you think it's interesting?

However, don’t say you haven’t discussed what you think is better. "

Yes, is it interesting to do this? But Ye Ming's next question also indicated that Ye Ming would stand on the side of the filmmakers.

At this time, Zhang Yimou laughed and said: "I said Ye Ming would be on our side, right?

Ye Ming, actually we think it is better to find a middleman, but some people think that it is more direct to let the people above give orders.

As for the specifics, no one can convince anyone. Therefore, we thought about finding someone to come up with ideas, and we just found you.

If you hadn't disappeared in the past few days, I would have found you long ago. What do you think we can do more appropriately? "

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "It is better to give orders directly. After all, we still have to look at the meaning of the higher-ups. Of course, if we want the higher-ups to give orders, the leaders will not help us in vain.

I think it would be better if we make a relatively powerful movie, so that people above us have to pay attention to us, have to help us, and make those theater chains have to bow their heads. "

In fact, Brother Chen Kai also preferred to let the people above him give orders directly, that is, Mr. Tang, the second-hand man, insisted on watching the fun, but he almost made a fool of himself.

Fortunately, he is not a member of the circle. He is at least half of it, so there is no shame in it.

At this time, Brother Chen Kai said: "General movie box office, I'm afraid it may not attract the attention of the higher-ups, so it must be a big hit?"

Ye Ming nodded and said: "That's right, we want to make a big hit at the box office. I have a book here called [Dimensional World Approaching]. It is a very good book and can have signs of a big hit.

You might as well take a look and see if it's possible to make it together. "[The approaching dimension] is an idea that Ye Ming recently thought of. Who knows if those mysterious two-dimensional worlds will approach.

If Ye Ming can bring out the super card, there is no guarantee that people from the dimensional world will invade in large numbers. If Ximen Fu can come over, can’t others come over? It is very necessary to give the people on earth a small size.

Only people on earth are used to the term dimensional world. Even if the dimensional world is really approaching in the future, it will not be a big deal.

Some things may sound scary, but in reality it’s no big deal if you get used to them.
