Hearing his words, everyone's spirits were lifted, could it be that the legendary salary limit order is finally about to be introduced?

"Everyone talked a lot about this issue in the morning, and it really touched on the key point of the film industry.

To shoot a movie, it takes a huge investment, equipment, venues, personnel, logistics, etc., all need to spend a lot of money, it can be said that making a movie is a matter of burning money, if you can't make money, then what do you want to do with movies?

Such a situation will only make investors stay away from film investment, or continue to reduce costs, such as only shooting comedies, romance films, and ethical films that can be completed at a low cost, which is very harmful to the long-term development of the Chinese film industry, and has reached the point where it cannot be ignored and solved. ”

Xu Anshun looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him very seriously, and understood that this topic really made everyone very concerned.

"When we make movies now, it is necessary to burn money, which everyone understands, but where this money is burned is very particular.

Burning on technology, equipment, and post-production can make the quality of the film better, and the box office will be higher later, which is definitely a good thing.

But if all the money is spent on the actor's salary and not enough in other aspects, then the effect can be imagined.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and I believe that all investors and directors have felt it. ”

Many people in the audience showed a helpless wry smile, and this was indeed the case.

For a movie, the actor's salary accounts for half of the investment, how much of the rest can be invested in the shooting?

Xu Anshun raised a document beside him and said, "I have an investigation report here, which counts the use of investment and funds in Huaxia films over the past 20 years, and I see a very terrifying fact from it.

That is, after so many years, the proportion of actors' salaries in investment costs has increased significantly, and together with the cost of special effects, it has become the majority of investment costs, while the proportion of investment in other aspects has decreased compared with before.

What does this mean? It shows that although the production cost of films has increased dramatically in the past period of time, and all investors have increased their investment in this area, there is not much that is actually used in the filming itself, and even less than before.

Everyone should know very well what this will lead to.

We must take action to let the funds for complaints be put more into technical equipment and more on the production of special effects, otherwise Huaxia films will fall into a dead loop, let alone go out. ”

Everyone was staring at Xu Anshun, expecting him to come up with his own solution.

Xu Anshun glanced at Lin Qirong, who was sitting nearby, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Many people have suggested that we should introduce a salary limit order, thinking that this can effectively solve the problem of excessive costs, quickly reduce the cost of film production, and revitalize funds.

But we should also see that actors use their labor, acting skills and popularity to contribute to the movie, and they should get a certain amount of remuneration, and they can't be one-size-fits-all, which will greatly reduce their enthusiasm.

So it's not a solution. ”

Everyone in the audience looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Xu Anshun's gourd, was it another flicker, and mud?

Again and again, again and again, we have seen a lot of such things.

"To make a good movie, funding is a must, and the way to do this is nothing more than open source and throttling. ”

Xu Anshun smiled, "Needless to say, it is difficult for investors to be willing to invest more without seeing profits."

The key is to throttle, and here I have some points to watch and comment.

The first is to standardize crew management and financial management, which everyone should know, I won't say more, there is a good crew for everyone to learn, and everyone can consider it for themselves.

The second is how to balance the relationship between actors' salaries and production costs.

At present, I have an immature opinion, which will continue to be improved in the future, and everyone is welcome to put forward their own suggestions. ”

All eyes were on him.

"My idea is to classify all the current actors, comprehensively evaluate the actors according to their popularity, box office appeal, acting skills, acting qualifications, honors, etc., and divide the actors into super first-line actors, first-line actors and other levels, so that the entire actor can return to normal, rather than directly determining everything by popularity.

For each level of actors, we will set the upper and lower limits of the salary, and the value of each actor will fluctuate within the corresponding range, not too high or too low.

Of course, these restrictions are only for actors below the second line, and the value of first-line actors and above varies from person to person, and they cannot be simply restricted, and their salary is also the largest expense of the crew.

Therefore, first-line actors and super first-line actors will adopt the model of basic salary plus commission.

They will have a base salary, which is the minimum income they can participate in filming, and then there will be a sharing standard for each level, and the actors can get a percentage of the final income.

The advantage of this is to reduce the upfront investment cost, and pay the actor's salary after the box office comes out, so that the crew can invest more money in filming.

In this way, what kind of movie you can make depends on your own ability. ”

"...... Uproar"

There was an uproar in the audience, and Xu Anshun's words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, making different groups of people have different opinions.

"Sharing seems to be a fairly mature model in the United States, but only those superstars are eligible to participate in the sharing, because those blockbusters are very high at the box office, even if it is a percentage of a few percent, they can get a lot more than just a salary.

This can indeed greatly reduce the upfront cost, the actor is no longer the same as before, only get paid, the box office of the movie has nothing to do with him, the dedicated actor is fine, and the undedicated actor will be helpless if he doesn't play well with the money.

When actors also become investors in movies, the quality of the movie box office directly determines their returns, so it is rare to take money and do nothing.

And those actors who only have popularity and no acting skills have no market, because if they make bad movies and hit the street at the box office, they can't get much money at all. ”

This measure has certain disadvantages, but it has more benefits, which made many of the participants present excited.

Xu Anshun is now the head of the competent department, and if he is determined to push this thing forward, then Huaxia films will usher in earth-shaking changes.

It seems that you can really look forward to it.

Xu Anshun knew that his words would cause a huge dispute, and he understood this when Lin Qirong brought it up with him.

But he still decided to do it, because he didn't want to be in this position and watch Chinese movies fall into a dead loop like this, watching the box office shine, but the development has become deformed.

This is not what a Chinese movie should look like.

"We encourage people to be bold and shoot other genres, sci-fi, disaster, apocalypse, war, superhero blockbusters, etc., rather than focusing on comedies and romances. ”

Xu Anshun continued, "If Chinese films want to develop, and people want to see more and better movies, we must try more themes.

And these are all huge investments that must be made, especially the post-production special effects are a big money-burner, which is also an important reason why everyone is afraid to challenge these themes.

Reform is imperative, and we welcome your own views to improve these new reform measures.

Because you are the key figures in Huaxia Films, we look forward to your support. ”

This concludes the afternoon forum, but the resulting wave has only just begun, spreading from the venue to the outside world.

The media reporters who came here sent the news out as quickly as possible.

Lin Qirong threw out many questions, the establishment of the Fengtai Award, and Xu Anshun's disguised salary limit order......... All of them are big news, and after they are released, they quickly attract the attention and discussion of the whole society.

With the exception of a small number of people whose interests have been damaged, most people are optimistic about these things.

"The new official took office with three fires, and the first fire really hit the key point of the film industry, this Xu Anshun has a lot of ideas. ”

"Lin Qirong is really bold, he dared to poke this hole open, and he also achieved such a result, which is really likable.

This is responsibility, a responsibility that cannot be seen in any artist. ”

"Can we expect to see more and more good movies in the future? To be honest, it's not that we don't support domestic movies, but we really can't support them, embarrassing acting skills, five-cent special effects, and the comparison of Hollywood blockbusters, I can't watch it at all.

If there can really be an excellent domestic movie, I will be the first to support it. ”

"Me too. ”

There is a lot of public opinion in the outside world, and everyone who participated in the meeting cannot stay out of it.

All night, everyone was in groups of three or five to discuss what happened today.

Compared with the audience, what happened today does have a huge impact on everyone, and if the things that Xu Anshun said can really happen, then they will get huge benefits from it.

"I seem to hear the footsteps of Chinese film spring coming. ”

"Now that the main problem is solved, we can boldly invest in the films we want to make.

In the future, excellent movies will be able to make money, and excellent actors can get more opportunities and rewards.

Everything is getting better. ”

On the second day, witnessed by all the guests, the Preparatory Committee of the Huaxia Film Art Association was officially established, and representatives of all parties will work together to prepare an association composed of all filmmakers and made up by the filmmakers themselves.

The "Fengtai Award" will also officially start preparations.

Suggestions or opinions were handed over to Xu Anshun, and after he returned, he would organize personnel to conduct research and discussion, and prepare to implement a new policy.

The future of Chinese films seems to be brighter all of a sudden.

When he walked out of the venue, Lin Qirong breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything is getting better, isn't it?
