The Crown Prince of Huayu!

After finishing the filming of "The World of Cultivation" and leaving the crew, there were already complaints online about the high pay of celebrities.

There's no way, the contrast is just too strong.

Think about ordinary people. They work very hard and only make a few thousand yuan a month. They may not earn a million yuan in their entire life.

Let's look at the celebrities. Not to mention Wu Yifan and Lu Han, who have no representative works but are famous, even Yang Shuo, who many people don't know, an actor who was not even on the list of second-tier stars, turned out to have a pay of up to 60 to 70 million.

It would be strange if netizens didn’t go crazy.

Under such circumstances, the rumor of a salary cap order that suddenly spread online naturally gained support from the entire network.

In an apartment in the community next to Beijing Film Academy.

The big messy bed.

After the heavy breathing subsided.

"I'm already like this, and you still come to torment me."

Tong Liya, who has always been weak, pinched Han Jiadong's waist hard for a rare occasion.

The other hand stroked her slightly protruding belly, and her flushed face was filled with the glow of motherhood.

After more than two months of hard work during the filming of Wolf Warrior 2, the fruits have finally come.

"I'm already very restrained, okay?"

Han Jiadong hugged her in his arms: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

He is now familiar with this kind of thing.

Of course, this is not because he has any special hobby.

At the beginning, it may be a taste of something new.

But this time, it was simply because Yaya was about to leave the capital and return to her hometown to prepare for giving birth.

As her belly grew bigger and the weather became hotter, she had to stay in the capital, and she would not be able to hide her pregnancy.

Thinking that he would not have much time to accompany her after she returned to her hometown, Han Jiadong rushed over to accompany her as soon as he finished filming "The World of Cultivation".

"What do your family members say?"

Han Jiadong also put his hand on her belly.

Tong Liya covered his big hand with her small hand: "At first she was a little angry, but when she heard me say that the child would take my last name, she didn't say anything."

Han Jiadong was not surprised by her parents' reaction.

Given her family's preference for boys over girls, her parents believed that the death of her son was essentially the end of the family line.

Now my daughter is pregnant before getting married, and she also said that the child will take her surname in the future. What she means is very clear.

This undoubtedly rekindled her parents' hope of continuing the Tong family's lineage.

"Thanks a lot."

Han Jiadong felt a little distressed.

"I don't feel bitter. This is my own choice."

Tong Liya looked calm and smiled slightly. After leaning on Han Jiadong's arms for a while, she suddenly asked, "I saw online that there is going to be a salary cap order. Is that true?"

“Well, it should be available before the end of this year.”

Han Jiadong did not hide anything and briefly told her about the specific restrictions.

Tong Liya frowned after hearing this, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Although I am now the boss of a company and this salary cap is a good thing for me, I still think it is not good."

"Oh why?"

Han Jiadong showed some interest.

Tong Liya said: "Because I think how much an actor gets should be determined by the market, and there should be no human intervention. Since someone dares to pay such a high salary, it means that they are indeed worth that price.

Just like Nazha from my company, as long as she is the lead actress in a drama, it will be easier to attract investment and sell at a high price, so people will rush to offer her a high price.

But if the salary cap is implemented, her pay will plummet several times, which is unfair to her."

She glanced at Han Jiadong and continued, "And have you ever thought about where the money that the actors don't get will go in the end?"

Han Jiadong suddenly realized that he had thought that the actors got paid too easily, but he never thought that those bosses were eating even more lavishly.

If a salary cap is really introduced, the big piece of meat cut from the actors will eventually be fed into the mouths of capitalists who eat even more unsightly.

Although it is easy for actors to make money, they are still considered working people and have put in some effort.

In comparison, it is no longer a question of whether the boss has made efforts or not. In the current environment, most bosses in the entertainment industry are living like emperors. Not only do they make a lot of money, but they also choose concubines every night. What's even more abominable is that they come up with yin-yang contracts to exploit their workers.

From this perspective, the salary cap order is simply helping unscrupulous bosses to further exploit their workers.

Han Jiadong's original intention was not to suppress the actors' pay, but to use it to spur the actors, so that they would no longer be content with the status quo and stimulate their ambition.

After hearing what Tong Liya said, he suddenly hesitated.

"Do you have any good ideas to limit the actors' pay, so that they don't live too comfortably, and the capitalists don't take all the benefits?"

Han Jiadong asked the person in his arms with a slight headache.

"What good solution do I have?"

Tong Liya said weakly: "I can only take care of myself at most. If it really happens, I will use other methods to compensate Nazha and the others for what does not belong to me."

Han Jiadong rubbed her head and said, "Are you stupid? Do you think the money is too much?"

"Anyway, I have you to help me earn money, and the money you've helped me earn is enough, I can't spend it all in this lifetime."

"Okay, as long as you're happy, but don't try to make a yin-yang contract. It's against the law."

"Uh……"

Tong Liya obviously hadn't considered this, and said hesitantly: "I'll see when the time comes. If it really doesn't work, I can donate it in their name, right?"

Donated?

Han Jiadong's eyes lit up. This was a good idea.

The problem that had been bothering him just now, now gave rise to a lot of ideas in his mind, making him unable to help but happily hug Tong Liya and give her a big kiss.

the next day.

After his father came back from get off work, Han Jiadong went into the study with him and told his father all the problems mentioned by Tong Liya.

"What do you think? Give up the salary cap order?"

Han Sanpin asked, and then reminded: "It's too late to give up now. The proposal has been passed, and only some details have not been perfected."

Han Jiadong shook his head: "No, the salary cap will continue."

"Then what do we do about the problem you just mentioned where all the benefits go to the capitalists?"

"It's easy to solve. The actors' salaries are based on the salary cap, but the contracts we negotiate with major companies are not subject to any restrictions. We can negotiate as high as we can. The companies will still support the salaries according to the contracts."

"Ok?"

Han Sanpin was obviously confused: "What about the extra part?"

Han Jiadong already had a rough plan in his mind, and he spoke in an orderly manner after hearing this.

"We can set up a special organization to manage this part of the funds. In theory, this part of the money still belongs to the actors, but whether they can get it and how much they can get depends on their own abilities..."

"Wait! Set up a special organization?"

Han Sanpin interrupted Han Jiadong. You know, after a lot of hot money poured into the entertainment industry, the pay of actors has generally risen to a very exaggerated figure. Not to mention those popular stars who get hundreds of millions of dollars in pay, even those not-so-top stars like Yang Shuo, Wang Qianyuan, and Du Chun have already received more than 50 million in pay.

And how many actors like this are there in the entire entertainment industry?

Once the salary cap is implemented, how much can these stars, many of whom are not even second-tier, get from the astronomical pay?

By then, the amount of money that will belong to the institution will probably be hundreds of millions or even billions every year!
What is this concept?
It is impossible for these big companies in the entertainment industry to have such high profits, let alone such high liquidity.

Once this organization is established, one can imagine how many people will be jealous.

Han Jiadong naturally thought of this when he proposed this.

"It's up to you to decide how to set it up, but it would be best if it were a non-governmental organization, and then have the members who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame participate in it."

As for the official...

Han Jiadong really has no hope for them now.

If they were allowed to get involved, one can imagine how much corruption would breed.

Such a huge number is enough to make everyone above my dad excited, and by then even my dad might not be qualified to intervene.

When my father retires, will I still have a chance to implement the strategies I formulated?
Han Sanpin thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about your plan first. How are the actors going to get their money back?"

Han Jiadong drank some water to moisten his throat before continuing, "It's very simple. Improve your level. Every time you upgrade a level, you can get back the corresponding upper limit amount from the institution.

For example, Lu Han is now less than a second-tier star. If he negotiates a film salary of 100 million yuan, he can only get 1 million of it, and the rest will be deposited in the agency.

If he is promoted to the second line the following year, he will be able to get 9 million from it. When he enters the Hall of Fame, he will be able to get all the money he has in the organization.

In addition, the organization will take out one-tenth of this money every year and donate it in the name of the actor.

Taking Lu Han’s example again, the amount to be donated in the first year is 9.9 million, and in the second year one-tenth of the remaining 89.1 million will be used for donation.

Of course, these are without considering tax deductions, and the specific proportions can be discussed later. "

Wait for him to finish.

“It sounds like all the problems have been solved.”

Han Sanpin rubbed his head with a headache. His son's proposal was undoubtedly better than simply introducing a salary cap order.

Having both the stick and the date will undoubtedly give actors more motivation to make progress.

It won’t be a waste of money for the capitalists.

At the same time, charitable donations can also improve the entertainment industry’s declining reputation.

It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.

But it will obviously greatly increase the workload and difficulty of implementation.

However, Han Sanpin finally agreed and said that he would bring it up for discussion at the meeting tomorrow.

Then he asked about Han Jiadong's future plans.

"Your three-year term of stay will expire this year. What are you going to do?"

Han Jiadong smiled and said, "After you made your comeback, Shanghai Film Studio came to look for me. Since I didn't go back then, I have no reason to go back now."

After he transferred Jia Mi's shares to Liu Yifei, he no longer invested in any company.

Of course, that doesn't mean he has never tried to do business.

However, the companies he invested in are not under the jurisdiction of his father.

Most of them are related to the Internet.

For example, Pinxixi, which was newly established last year, and a small game company called Mihoyo.

With his strong support, the company launched a game called Honkai Impact 3rd at the beginning of this year.

Han Sanpin sighed and said, "I am almost old. I may retire or be retired at any time."

What this means is that one still hopes Han Jiadong can develop within the system.

But not to mention the companies he invested in, even his own problems with women, Han Jiadong would not seek trouble for himself.

"I don't care. As long as these policies can be implemented normally, it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. Besides, doesn't my sister work in a state-owned enterprise now? She's a big fan of officials, so let her work hard."

……

……

After sending Tong Liya back to her hometown, Han Jiadong was invited to attend this year's Cannes Film Festival as the chairman of the jury.

Unfortunately, there are really no outstanding domestic films this year, so Han Jiadong has no chance to favor films from his own country.

During this period, many people wanted to pursue him, including Quentin's ex-girlfriend, Sofia Coppola, who won the Golden Lion Award.

However, her work this time was just above the passing line in Han Jiadong's opinion. How could Han Jiadong possibly give her the important award she wanted, such as Best Director?
There's no way I could even give her a consolation prize!
It's not that she holds a grudge, it's just that she really doesn't have the ability.

Others who wanted to take the back door were also rejected by Han Jiadong without exception.

In the end, this year's Cannes Film Festival came to a successful conclusion with the anti-AIDS film "120 Beats Per Minute" winning the Palme d'Or for Best Film.

After returning from the Cannes Film Festival, I thought that if nothing unexpected happens, the Golden Horse Awards will also be completely lost next year... No! It should be said that it is over.

Han Jiadong felt that he should do something.

Of course, it is not about saving the Golden Horse Awards.

Instead, they plan to let mainland actors grab some of the prizes while the Golden Horse Awards still have some value.

If you don't pull it out, you won't have a chance.

Moreover, mainland actors are indeed in urgent need of honors now.

This movie, like "120 Beats Per Minute", which just won the Palme d'Or, is also about disease.

——"Dying to Survive".

It was with this movie that Hara Tokisou Buninomi shot to fame.

The box office reached over 9 billion, and it is a masterpiece with a Douban score of .

Judging from the standards of a newcomer, it is undoubtedly a perfect answer.

But if we judge by the standards for winning awards, there are actually quite a few flaws.

The shots, the pictures, the rhythm, the music...

None of them are top-notch.

That is why it failed in the competition for the best film at major film festivals such as the Golden Rooster, Golden Horse, and Hundred Flowers.

It is only because the audience is more tolerant of new directors, and the plot is so good that it covers up those problems, that it has gained such a high reputation.

After the news that Han Jiadong would direct an award-winning film was released, the entire entertainment industry immediately became agitated.

Originally, under the temptation of the Hall of Fame, many stars have been trying their best to win the award.

Recently, there have been reports that the salary cap will be linked to the actor's rating. How can these stars sit still?
Plus Han Jiadong's own appeal is great enough...

Within minutes of the news spreading, Han Jiadong's phone was flooded with calls.

Women with special relationships, including Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, called Han Jiadong.
