Chapter 437: Limited Salary Alliance
In Causeway Bay, Xiangjiang, there is a legend of Chen Haonan who is carrying the handle.
But there is no Kowloon Ice Room on the bustling street. The early ice room was a cold drink shop, and the Xixi Ice Room opened in Helen Building is a tea restaurant.
It was ten o'clock in the morning and the sun was shining brightly outside.
Ye Qin nestled on the sofa, exhaled a puff of smoke skillfully, the floating smoke circle gradually became larger, fainter, and finally dissipated.
There are many inconvenient places in Xiangjiang, including smoking. Liqun, Yellow Crane Tower, and Yuxi are hard to find. There are a lot of foreign brands such as Marlboro, Jianpai, Salon, and Saint Laurent.
Fortunately, there is Hua Zi.
"Crench."
The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and the old man was supported by a nurse, followed by Zeng Zhiwei and a middle-aged man.
The old one is naturally Fang Yihua.
A middle-aged man, with frivolous footsteps, blue eye sockets, and a look of indulgence due to kidney deficiency, and the information in his mind must be Chen Guoqiang.
"Sorry, Boss Ye, there is a traffic jam on the road."
"Traffic jam?"
Ye Qin raised his eyebrows and really wanted to add, are you riding a Mazda?
For Fang Yihua's sake, she didn't criticize her too much.
In fact, TVB changed hands as early as 11 years ago. This Chen Guoqiang, the "leader" of Li Paopao, the king of empty shells in Xiangjiang, spent 86 billion to buy shares of Shao Yifu.
Fang Yihua is now working for Chen Guoqiang.
The reason why he knows the details is that Li Ruigang of SMG was one of the competitors at that time.
"This is the chairman of the board of directors of TVB."
Under Fang Yihua's recommendation, Ye Qin and Ye Qin shook hands, and the latter smiled brightly: "Jiu (gou) admire your name, Mr. Ye."
Ye Qin nodded politely, and turned to the host: "Mrs. Fang, Brother Zeng said you wanted to talk to me..."
Fang Yihua didn't answer and asked instead: "He said, Boss Ye found me, what did you do when you found me?"
"The matter of sky-high salary."
...............
Ocean International Center, Ye Guangji Conference Room.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang."
"Why is Hua Ce's Zhang Zhuo here?"
"Don't talk about Zhang Zhuo, Hou Hongliang from Noon, Zhao Bin from Ciwen, Xinli, Guangguang, Huanrui, all the top names from the production company are here."
Around the oval-shaped pure white conference table, Zhang Zhao, who was staring at each other, whispered to Zhou Hui, who was confused. From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Youtu, Kiwi, Penguin, and Mango from time to time.
"Mr. Yang, isn't it the online exclusive copyright bidding for "Langya Bang", you are?"
"Today, Ye Guangji is using the excuse of "Langya Bang" to meet everyone. There is something in the circle, and I think it's okay not to talk about it."
Yang Man waved his hand, and the secretaries and clerks distributed the prepared data to everyone in the audience one by one.
Han Zhijie, the general manager of Penguin Video, looked down at the cover and called it a good guy in his heart.
"It contains detailed records of the remuneration prices and ranges of top artists, second- and third-tier actors."
Yang Man brought out a piece of data: "Now, because hot money is flowing into the film and television industry, the salaries of star actors have become irrational. They actually account for [-] to [-]% of the budget for film and television dramas and variety shows."
"In Hollywood, big names like Qin Zi only account for [-]% to [-]% of the entire production. This is a very dangerous signal. I think several platform parties should have a deep understanding."
"Indeed, we are selling our kidneys to buy drama!"
Han Zhijie sighed, "The production cost is outrageously high, the most outrageous is the star's salary, which has increased by 200% in one or two years, and the house price has not increased so much!"
"Haha."
Hearing that the house price can't beat the star's salary, everyone in the room smiled knowingly, but they are all having fun in bitterness.
Damn it, the people sitting here are either the producer or the platform, and they are all accomplices and victims of the "sky-high salary".
"What more!"
Dai Ying of the Kiwi Self-made Drama Center felt the same way, and began to complain: "It costs a lot for the producers to make their own, and it also costs a lot for the platform to buy the drama."
"Both ends are high, traffic stars are the most comfortable. If the filming is bad, we have to spend money on marketing and public relations. We didn't get anything as a co-author, and they earned all the money.
"So, why!"
Yang Man said sternly: "Why should all the risks be borne by the platform side and the producer side, so traffic stars don't have to share honor and disgrace with the market?"
"Take a film and television drama as a project. I invested, I produced, and lost money in the end, but the employees still received high salaries, and many employees did not work hard and were still dragging their feet."
"This is very inconsistent with the laws of the market!"
"It's not about blaming them You Aiteng. I think Sofu led everyone to form a copyright alliance. The copyright was reduced by 20% to 50%, and then the three of you viciously raised the price."
Zhou Hui put on a straight face, "Our platform is responsible for the loss. Stars always make money. Even if the filming fails, the salary is still the same."
"Everyone is not trying to settle accounts. This time, Ye Qin mainly asked me to take this opportunity to discuss with you. Although we have competition, we also seek cooperation. This method of burning money is a waste of money!"
Yang Man raised the "Statement" in his hand, "The top priority, we must first discuss the 'sky-high salary', which lists the practices of the United States, Neon, and Bangzi, as well as our plan for reference."
Everyone can't wait to read the information.
When I saw [It is suggested that the total film remuneration of the actors should not exceed X of the total production cost, among them, the main actors should not exceed X of the total production cost...], everyone was moved, it was really——
It's been a long time since the world's bitter traffic star.
The key point is that the instigators Penguin, Kiwi, and Youtu also regretted it. In 12 years, the maximum number of single episodes was 50, and the three of them pushed it to [-] million episodes.
Kiwi fruit alone lost 3 billion due to copyright in 23.83 years, nmp!
"Is this a salary limit for web dramas and TV dramas?"
"That's right, we want to reach an alliance internally, like the NBA and NFL, to set the industry's salary ceiling."
Yang Man changed the subject: "Of course, there will be prizes for the limited ones, extra subsidies, contract bonuses..."
"Is this pre-tax or post-tax? I suggest pre-tax!"
Hou Hongliang said frankly: "If star A agrees with us for a remuneration of 5000 million yuan, then in addition to paying star A 5000 million yuan, the company also needs to bear an additional tax of more than 2000 million yuan. Why should the producer pay for this money!"
"Isn't this in line with the laws of the market?"
Zhang Zhuowei said: "I think all the producers present here will have this dilemma. Some investors, by name, want to find this little fresh meat. If they don't find it, they won't invest. Only his management team dared to sit on the ground and raise the price."
"This, how should we deal with it?"
...............
"Hey, Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, I heard that Ye Guangji called all the people in the circle today, and Hua Yi is here?"
Liu Tao shook the red wine in the glass, slightly raised his little finger, and his ecstatic orchid finger fit the reputation of "Tao Ji" in the circle.
Wang Zhongjun shook his head, "Gossip, want to form an alliance, suppress sky-high salary, meddle in other people's business, purely against the free market."
"Yo, Salary Limit Alliance!"
Liu Tao raised his eyebrows, "It's quite ignorant of current affairs."
"That's right, star making is different now!"
Wang Zhonglei smacked his lips, savoring the taste of the wine, "It's no longer like before, you have to rely on making a movie to become popular, now you can use various methods to become popular, and after there is traffic, it will drive the movie to become popular. What a great thing, " "Little Times" is not like that."
"Low risk, high return, short production cycle, fast payback time."
"Yes, traffic + IP + marketing!"
Liu Tao smiled and said: "Ari asked us to cultivate and support traffic stars, like Yang Tianbao, Da Hei Niu, and Zheng Kai, all of whom have good traffic."
Wang Zhongjun stroked his chin, showing greedy eyes, "But the quantity and quality are not as good as Ye Guangji, Guangnan's, Hu Ge, Li Yifeng, Bai Yu, Ma Han, Guan Hu's "Old Paoer", there are four of them." Two, at least one or two hundred million more."
"Mr. Wang, it's hard to find a star with acting skills, but it's not hard to find a star with sky-high prices."
Liu Tao has a well-thought-out plan to drive up star remuneration, which is nothing more than manipulating the Internet trolls, falsifying Internet data, manipulating Internet public opinion, and falsifying box office data.
As the manager of Yang Tianbao and Da Hei Niu, he personally operated this method and tried it repeatedly.
"I think there are a few good seedlings, Chu Yuxun, Rong Xinda's Yang Yang, Li Qin, exo's Zhang Yixing, Huang Zitao..."
Buzz, buzz.
Wang Zhonglei stared at the phone screen with a solemn expression: "Brother, Ye Guangji suddenly came up with a star valuation mechanism, he wants to learn from Neon and Hollywood, and set the commercial value of stars and actors!"
