The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 142 A Good Boss in China Entertainment Industry (Two in One)

As a time traveler, Wang Wei is very aware of how much "learning" is involved in his success.

Of course, the level of directing that has been honed in two lifetimes and is still improving is an important part of success.

Gold finger is another important part.

However, Wang Wei never felt that he could rely on Goldfinger for everything.

What if one day, this salted fish system disappears?

So, the key is to rely on your own ability.

Not just Wang Wei's own ability.

——If you want to further improve the quality of the videos you shoot, it is not just his own business.

Making movies is always a team job. Wang Wei not only needs to make himself outstanding, but also makes his subordinates more capable.

Otherwise, it's useless to exhaust him alone.

What's more, after finally getting to his current position, he still wants to enjoy life, and doesn't want to devote all his limited time to unlimited work.

The new "common halo" is of course a sharp weapon to maximize the ability of employees, but the number is too small.

——Only when the record is broken can there be a lottery draw, and only by a lottery draw can a chance be drawn, and after being drawn, it will only be reserved for groundbreaking projects to add support.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that constant pressure to squeeze the potential of employees is the normal choice.

only……

Even if there is real progress, it is impossible for the squeezed party to be without complaints.

It's simple, not everyone wants to pursue progress.

As a boss, of course, I hope that every employee can count as ten; but many people feel that lying down is worse than being comfortable, and fishing is worse than working.

At this stage, "daring to be angry but not to speak out" is entirely because of Wang Wei's accumulated prestige.

At any rate, he was a low-level worker. It is not difficult for Wang Wei to understand this, so he did not immerse himself in the seemingly effective squeeze, but chose the opportunity to resort to a timeless and always effective big move—— raise!
——Salary is the source of motivation in the workplace!

The principle of what you get for what you pay for is the same in the workplace, even more extreme.

What did Mr. Ma say?

There are two things when an employee leaves, the money is not in place, and the heart is wronged.

——A large part of the reason for "feeling wronged" is actually "not enough money".

When Wang Wei was a migrant worker, the most annoying thing was the SB boss above. He talked about values, culture and ideas when he met everyone, but he kept his mouth shut and didn’t talk about money.

We have achieved the freedom to eat a long time ago, okay, who the hell still needs you to feed the spiritual food of Northwest Wind and Dabing every day?
What's even more funny is that this kind of SB boss also likes to talk about "wolf competition" like Huawei.

MMP, the essence of wolf nature is to divide the meat of wolves, not to paint cakes to drive wolves away.

You don't give anything here, just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Well, now that he is the boss, Wang Wei refuses to be the person he hates the most.

He encourages competition, but when inspiring people to forge ahead, at least give money, meat, and enough!
In this regard, Boss Ren is his role model—what is talent?If you pay more money, even if you are not a talent, you will become a talent.

Of course, he needs to spend some effort to convince Mr. Wang.

As the big steward of Dunhuang's money bag, Lao Wang was born to be at odds with words like "salary increase", or in other words, he was at odds with all the words that were to be handed out for real value red bills.

"What? Salary increase? You have money to burn!"

He looked aggrieved, as if he was defending his chastity in front of bullies.

Wang Weiya said with hot eyes: "Let's be reasonable. Dunhuang is making a lot of progress in promoting projects, but the supporting treatment of employees has obviously failed to keep up with the pace."

"They're being put under increasing pressure and it's not uncommon for them to work more than [-] hours a day, and there are even more days where they're working more than [-] hours."

"Don't forget, the old man said that at any time, while moving forward quickly, those low-level employees should not be forgotten. We need to share weal and woe, and we should also share happiness..."

In the end, Wang Wei also moved out the old man who was most admired by Lao Wang's classmate.

——Although he deeply suspected that the old man's habit of pouring chicken soup was actually formed when he didn't have enough money when he started his business in the early days, so he could only rely on chicken soup to fool young people.

Lao Wang immediately retorted: "But isn't the whole industry like this?"

He said this with confidence.

As hot money began to pour into the Chinese entertainment industry, not only Dunhuang, but the entire industry has indeed become radical in terms of project advancement, but the practitioners will not "explode" immediately, and everyone's work will naturally follow. The burden has increased.

Lao Wang is confident that Dunhuang's treatment is definitely not the bottom of the circle, so why do you need a bicycle?

Wang Wei shook his head: "It's still different. Other companies don't require difficult film and game linkage, and they don't keep 'tossing' employees to squeeze their potential..."

"You can't make the horse run, but also let the horse not eat grass. This kind of boss can't survive three episodes in a TV series."

"Especially when everyone knows we made a lot of money."

Old Wang stared, feeling that he had been dissed.

Well, he understands the truth.

However, a boss who is not stingy is still called a qualified boss?
However, his objection was too weak amidst the voices of approval within Dunhuang.

Wang Wei, the largest shareholder, has taken the initiative to turn his back on the water. As the vested interests, Xu Daoxing, Zhou Lin and others, will they still object with brains?

Salary increase proposal, get!

Of course, the salary increase is not as simple as Wang Wei waving his hand, and everyone in Dunhuang gets a salary increase.

The salary system of various types of work in the Chinese entertainment industry is inherently complicated, and salary increases cannot be generalized.

for example--

The top treatment that the industry can give to non-investors is to own part of the copyright of the film—compared with dividends, owning part of the copyright rights is equivalent to owning a long-term meal ticket, which can continuously bring in profits;
Of course, this kind of treatment is only a very small number of very few.

At least, Wang Wei, as a producer or director, cannot obtain such qualifications, and naturally he is not included in the "salary increase" plan.

The next best thing is the share of movie box office revenue, more precisely, the advance box office share;
In other words, regardless of whether the income and expenditure are in balance, as long as the film has earned money, regardless of whether it has reached a surplus, it can start to get a proportional share.

——There is no doubt that this method of sharing accounts is quite risky for the film company. The top producers or directors who can be negotiated are all top-notch producers or directors, and not every movie can be negotiated. Not considered for inclusion in the "salary increase" package.

Next is the relatively mainstream split method based on the break-even point;
Specifically, it is to negotiate a contract with the director and other main creators by paying less upfront salary but promising a more generous post-box office share, but the premise of the share is that the film company recovers production and marketing costs.

The sharing contract that Wang Wei obtained before is similar to this one.Once the film sells well, the amount of account sharing will be considerable.

In the case of Wang Wei, this has finally been included in the "salary increase" plan-in simple terms, directors or producers who cooperate with Dunhuang can negotiate, and the specific proportion of accounts will be subject to actual negotiations.

The bigger breakthrough is that some high-level and outstanding behind-the-scenes creative personnel such as screenwriters, photographers, and editors have also been included in the scope of box office accounting!
You must know that according to the negotiation and coordination between the Chinese film behind-the-scenes personnel association and the management, the sharing plan that these types of work can obtain is at best a certain percentage of net income sharing.

——Under the accounting system in the industry, net income is often a castle in the air.

In comparison, Dunhuang has a lot of salary increase plans!
Of course, the criteria for "high-level and outstanding contributions" still need to be refined in the future.

And the salary increase plan has not fallen behind for other low-level employees——

In addition to the fixed salary at the forefront of the industry, Dunhuang proposed the "big red envelope plan".

To put it bluntly, it is similar to dividends. After the film reaches a balance of payments, bonuses will be given to employees who are eligible for dividends;

Many crews have this habit, but in general, whether or not to send red envelopes depends entirely on the mood of investors; if they are in a good mood, the red envelopes will be larger; if they are in a bad mood, there will be no red envelopes, no matter how small they are.

Dunhuang is equivalent to formulating a clear text standard, as long as the standard is met, there must be a red envelope.

Although compared to the above-mentioned share, the bonus-type red envelope does not look high, but if compared with peers, it is very competitive - referring to Dunhuang's previous standards, it can easily reach two to three times the fixed salary. Contemplated……

This is destined not to be a salary increase plan that can be finalized in a short period of time. Massive details can only be introduced after accounting and planning by professionals.

However, just the word of the wind leaked out, and the results were immediate!
——How many people in Dunhuang were squeezed by Wang Wei before, so busy that they were about to ascend to immortality, muttering "the boss is not human" every day, I have to leave...

Now when I hear that a "substantial salary increase" plan is brewing, it's so sweet, help me up, I can fight for another 500 years!
Although, certainly not everyone can get a substantial salary increase, but the company at least provides opportunities——

Work may be really tiring, but after you are tired, you can see the rewards and realize that you are still worth some money.

Well, it doesn't have to be great, it's simply worth the money.

Not to mention how the mental outlook of the employees has changed, Wang Wei, who was previously known as the "evil boss", instantly became what they said...the "unique good boss" in the Chinese entertainment industry!
Tsk, the magic of money!

……

If it is said that the box office of "Charlotte" was a big hit, and many people in the circle watched the excitement of Dunhuang's "female director support plan", then the rumor of "substantial salary increase" quietly spread from Dunhuang deeply stirred the circle. inner heart.

An undefeated leader, a platform with a clear rising momentum, and a very humane and generous treatment... There is nothing more in line with the expectations of insiders.

Especially for many middle- and lower-level practitioners, their level is not bad, but the platform they work on has locked their remuneration and basically locked their future.

If you change jobs to Dunhuang, what kind of treatment will you have?

In just a few days, this question has unknowingly taken root in the minds of many people.

Director Kim Jae-ku, who was preparing to form a permanent professional director team, was almost knocked out by a pie falling from the sky.

——Although China Entertainment’s film industry is well-developed, talents in all aspects can be provided at any time like machine parts, but each director has a different style. of.

For example, Dunhuang's existing behind-the-scenes production team is basically Wang Weiyong's handy team.

After Kim Jae-ku won the title of "Billion Director", he is also eligible to form a permanent director team.

He didn't dare to think of big players in the industry, but he still hoped to recruit some high-level talents as much as possible-the reason was the same as Wang Wei hoped, the ability of the team members was strong, and the ability of the director was relatively easy.

Then, after the news of Dunhuang's substantial salary increase spread, he found that his solicitation work suddenly became very simple.

Many talents who he felt had no hope of recruiting took the initiative to contact him, such as the photographer who was on the phone——

This is his old friend who knows everything, but he is much better than before. He is a well-known photographer in the circle.

"...It's true. With your level, if you join the crew of Dunhuang, you have a great chance to get a share of the box office." Jin Zaiku said into the phone.

The old friend's breathing was heavy, and he couldn't help but feel his heart beat.

But what he cares most about is——

"How much conscience can Dunhuang have?"

Jin Zaiku nodded secretly, this is a very real question.

After all, having a share and actually getting the share are two different things.

Everyone in the industry knows that film and television companies are notorious for their arrears.

The main reason is that there are too many hands-on opportunities-the statistics of movie box office and follow-up peripheral income are basically a black box, which involves a lot of operations. Apart from the production and distribution companies handled, sometimes even the theaters can't tell clearly.

In this case, it's okay to say that the remuneration is clearly marked, but as for the box office share?
Whether you can get it depends not only on the agreement, but also on the strength and status of the two parties.If you don't have enough means to ensure that the other party will not cheat you in this regard, you can only hope for the conscience of the other party's company.

As weak individuals, facing the powerful Dunhuang, it is hard to say that they have the ability to restrain each other.

So, the question comes back—does Dunhuang have a conscience?
Jin Zaiku didn't guarantee it, he could only say——

"You should know that Dunhuang's reputation in this area has always been good, otherwise you wouldn't call me to ask me, right?"

If it is really a company that cheats people every day, the so-called "salary increase" is just a joke, so what else to consider?
"That's what I said, but if you can bear it with small money, you may not be able to bear it with big money..."

Jin Zaiku laughed: "What is small money? What is big money?"

There was a pause on the phone: "...not much, tens of millions of yuan, even if you are in arrears for a month, you don't need to transfer it for investment or anything. The interest from the bank alone is enough to pay several employees. Isn't that Small money."

"Heh..." Jin Zaiku laughed, "Let's put it this way, if you are familiar with Dunhuang, you will know that this is really a small amount of money."

"It's not that hundreds of millions of yuan are not considered money, but that with such calculations, Dunhuang has already earned more money."

"..."

The other party was obviously overwhelmed by Jin Zaiku's strong confidence in Dunhuang.

It was difficult for him to understand Jin Zaiku's confidence, but he clearly understood the attitude of his old friend——

This is a thick thigh, just hug it.

Of course, this is not a matter of one or two sentences, and the two then agreed to meet and discuss in detail.

After hanging up the phone, Jin Zaiku stroked the new script "People on the Journey" sent by the company, thinking——

"Charlotte" hasn't been released yet, and the new film is being continued for me. With such a super-efficient Dunhuang, why not do it? As for paying for a small amount of money and ruining my reputation?

He has answered more than one call like this today.

I thought it would be good to have a good director team before the new film started shooting;
Now, it is estimated that before "Charlotte" is released, his permanent director team will be formed.

can only say--

This is really a world where money rules!

……

　After I found out that it was updated today, I only coded [-] words this month. Well, this scum is really too salty~~~
