China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 639 Meetings and Limitations on Remuneration

The National Film Working Conference was held in Beijing on the afternoon of the next day.

There were hundreds of people participating in the meeting.

Leaders emphasized that movies are a form of cultural entertainment that is deeply loved by the people. The strength of movies directly reflects the comprehensive national strength, leads the development direction of our country's culture, and is an important carrier to demonstrate the confidence of Chinese culture.

During his speech, he praised films and film and television companies that have performed well, while also criticizing existing problems.

"There is still a big gap between the quality of creation and the audience's expectations. Our country produces a lot of movies every year, but there are only a few good ones. Some filmmakers take third-rate scripts, randomly find some actors, shoot a few actions, and read a few An awkward line, some fifty-cent special effects, and then most of the energy and cost were spent on publicity and hype. There was a lot of enthusiasm before the release, but there was disappointment after the release. As a carrier of cultural dissemination, movies are bringing In addition to economic benefits, there must also be social benefits. As a filmmaker, you need to study scripts with concentration, be brave in innovation, improve professionalism, and produce more realistic-themed works. Bring a higher level of spiritual and cultural life to the people. Enjoy it." The leader's words were merciless.

In the past year, although China's movie box office continued to rank first in the world, there were many movies with poor reputations.

It can be said that behind the brilliant achievements, there are many problems.

"Industry governance and market regulations are still relatively extensive. If Chinese films want to thrive, they cannot do without a positive and healthy industry atmosphere. For example, the issue of increased remuneration. Sky-high remuneration will inevitably compress the cost of film production, eventually leading to a decline in quality, but the industry In the atmosphere of 'money worship', artists will be impetuous and profit-seeking, which will restrict the development of Chinese films." The second fire was burned on industry governance and market regulations, and once again slashed the sky-high price Remuneration'.

Then two more issues were pointed out, both of which are very obvious problems existing in the current film industry and are also the most important ones.

Asking questions is naturally relatively simple, but what about solving problems?

This is quite noisy!

For film and television companies, they are naturally eager to reduce actors' pay. Compression of actors' pay means a reduction in investment when the production level is the same.The compression of actors' remuneration also means that with the same scale of investment, more money can be spent on film production.

But for actors, who wants their salary to be reduced?
Shouldn’t the market’s affairs be left to the market?
Isn't it just because of market demand that I get such a high salary?

There are also many cheap actors with good acting skills on the market, so you can definitely look for them!
For Li Hao, he also has his own needs, which is to relax more restrictions, regulate the market, open up more channels, and combat piracy.

This is actually a game, or a negotiation, where all parties compromise with each other and finally get conditions acceptable to everyone.

The entire meeting lasted for three full days.

During the past three days, Li Hao also found some people to hold private meetings.

Some things are not suitable to be discussed on the table. After all, they are naked interests.

Is it difficult to combat piracy on the Internet?
It's not difficult at all!

It's nothing more than Baidu and others conniving and causing trouble.

Otherwise, if the webpage cannot be opened, who can watch the pirated version?
Of course, in addition to private discussions, leaders must go to cross-department associations to increase work in this area.

After three days, some results were finally achieved.

What Li Hao wanted has basically been realized. The next step is to see how to implement it.

If we fail to achieve this level of practice, everything will be in vain.

Regarding actor remuneration, a certain consensus has been reached. Actor remuneration should not exceed 5000 million per film, actor remuneration should not account for more than 35% of the film production cost, and starring remuneration should not exceed 60% of the total remuneration.Compared with the previous one, actors' remuneration should not exceed 40%, a decrease of 5%, while starring remuneration should not exceed 60% of the total remuneration, compared with 70% before, a decrease of 10%!

Moreover, penalties have been added, that is, a fine of twice the amount exceeding the remuneration.

There is no doubt that this is a tight curse for film and television companies and actors.For a movie with a production cost of 3 million, the actors' remuneration will be around 1 million, while the lead actor's remuneration will not exceed 6000 million, other actors will receive 4000 million, and the remaining 2 million will be used to make the movie.

The actor representatives were naturally dissatisfied, but the big bosses reached a consensus and there was nothing they could do.

I can only go shopping and have fun to vent my dissatisfaction.

After all, this time, it was much stricter than before.

It’s not just a contract, it will also strengthen the control over accounts. It is no longer possible to have a Yin-Yang contract.

There are also box office dividends, which have also been blocked.

If you want to play some tricks in the future, it won't be that easy, and the risks will be much greater.

"Alas, we people have the least status. We are treated like pigs and allowed to be slaughtered and cut for our flesh." Yang Mi couldn't help complaining. She only felt that the actor's salary was not more than 5000 million per film, which was simply targeted at her.

She was willing to star in some movies before, wasn't it just because the other party could give her a high salary?

"Power, I'm the one who suffered the heavy losses, okay?" Hu Ge said angrily: "I don't have a variety show."

He is now the highest paid person.

Now the salary can be said to be cut in half.

Tong Liya looked indifferent. She had decided to stop acting anyway. She no longer cared about whether the salary was high or low. It had nothing to do with her.

Reba and Naza are different. Their single-film remuneration is not that high, but the problematic actors' remuneration accounts for no more than 35% of the production cost, and the main actors' remuneration does not account for more than 60% of the total remuneration. For them, this is also Heavy bleeding.

It can be said that any star will be affected by this rule.

On the contrary, the supporting roles and veteran actors are not affected, and even benefit.

"Okay, okay, everyone, don't pour out your bitterness. Think about your income. The income of those academicians in a lifetime is not as good as your income in a year. You should be content." Li Hao said.

This is a kind of game. According to the North American side, the employer has achieved a comprehensive victory.

There is no way around it. The high salaries of these celebrities have made them disliked by everyone under the media publicity in recent years, which is very negative.

If there is a limit on celebrity remuneration, once it is reported, most people will definitely applaud.

All I can say is that the boss of the film and television company is cunning and has made plans in advance.

To be honest, he couldn't stand this.

The market and technology must be in line with Hollywood. When it comes to investment, it depends on the country's own conditions. When it comes to actors' remuneration, they sadly attribute the poor quality of movies to the high remuneration of actors.

As for financial reports, there are either small profits or losses every year. However, the company is still running well and there is no sign of bankruptcy.

You must know that according to statistics released by the state, the gross profit of the film and television industry has been above 25% over the years.
