Chapter 298: Changeable
The statistics and analysis of the numbers thrown out by Oriental DreamWorks at the press conference were directly cited by reporters from major media outlets.
Suddenly, these real statistics, as well as materials about the current situation of kung fu movies, were immediately announced by the media.
This time, it was like an atomic bomb exploding, which directly caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry.
Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang, as the two most influential celebrities in this accusation and attack on Oriental DreamWorks, immediately caught fire and were blocked by many reporters, asking about the authenticity of the number and materials.
At this time, Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang were completely panicked.
They really haven't counted whether the number jù is true or not, but the material analysis about the kung fu industry chain is genuine, without any moisture.
Zhou Qiangsheng is the most influential kung fu film director in the film industry, although he is old and no longer shoots movies, but several martial arts stars he has brought out are still active on the screens of various films and television.
This old man can be said to be a big brother in kung fu movies in the film industry, which is not an exaggeration at all.
With the influence and connections accumulated over the years, coupled with the help and care of several disciples, the old man currently directly or indirectly controls 80% of the number of people in the martial arts industry in the film industry.
The other 20% of the martial artists, even if they have nothing to do with the old man Zhou Qiangsheng, are still influenced and controlled by him.
In addition, one of the most important industrial chains is the rental of props.
The vast majority of the share of this industry is in the hands of Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang, two masters and apprentices, and they can reap a large amount of benefits every year, but no one notices.
Others didn't pay attention, how could Yang Ming not notice?
In this world, when filming "Smiling Proud Jianghu" this time, Yang Ming didn't pay attention at first, so he asked Lao Chai to be responsible for recruiting some stand-ins and martial artists to play difficult action scenes.
Then, Lao Chai brought someone over, and proudly quoted various conditions and cooperation prices to Yang Ming, at that time, Yang Ming was angry and ready to refuse the other party directly, but was stopped by Lao Chai.
Afterwards, after listening to Lao Chai's analysis, Yang Ming knew that the martial arts in this life had changed a lot compared with the previous life.
Because he was in a hurry about the filming progress, Yang Ming didn't care about anything this time, even if he rented ancient costumes and props and various weapons later, the other party still quoted a high price, but Yang Ming still accepted it silently and didn't say anything.
Although Yang Ming was very unhappy at that time, he still endured it for the sake of the smooth shooting, and there will be a day when this account will be counted in the future.
I just didn't expect this day to come so early.
Yang Ming didn't pay attention to the identity behind him in the media at first, but he accidentally learned that these people had a certain relationship with the stand-ins and martial artists who negotiated during the filming of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", as well as the people who rented props, so Yang Ming decided to start.
Even, Yang Ming still has a bigger hole card in his hand.
When the number and materials of Oriental DreamWorks were revealed, the entertainment industry was immediately shocked by many people.
Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang are now blocked by the reporters and have been hiding, and their master and apprentice don't know what to say to the reporters, because the number and materials given by Oriental DreamWorks are so detailed that they don't have any reaction, and they are blinded all of a sudden.
However, there are still some people in the entertainment industry who remain skeptical about the authenticity of this number and materials.
Because, the statistics about the current situation of kung fu movies are not the official numbers, who will be fine, to count the market share of kung fu movies a few years ago.
So, these people remain suspicious of logarithms.
However, these numbers are very well counted, and soon a reporter went to find the official number of the total box office of the film market a few years ago, and then the lover counted the total box office of all kung fu movies that year.
Then, in comparison, the number jù provided by Oriental DreamWorks is basically without any error.
At this time, the reporters turned their attention to another material about the kung fu film industry chain, preparing to verify the authenticity of this material.
"I can prove the authenticity of the materials provided by Oriental DreamWorks, because I have come into contact with those kung fu industry chains that have formed a monopoly nature, they are greedy, unreasonable, and fierce, as long as they are not satisfied with their wishes, they can push the signed contracts for various reasons, because they know that we can't hire anyone else except them. ”
Just as the reporters were about to investigate the authenticity of the kung fu film industry chain, a well-known director took the initiative to find the media and disclose the details.
Among them, Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang's master and apprentice control zhì's martial arts, it can be said that in kung fu film and television, they are calling for wind and rain, being rampant and domineering, and doing whatever they want, and no one dares to object to question the decisions and conditions of their master and apprentice.
The practices and treaties are outrageously harsh.
When this well-known director stood up and said it, several directors immediately exposed the domineering and savagery of Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang's master and apprentice.
All of a sudden, the master and apprentice have become the shape that everyone shouts and beats in the entertainment industry, which makes people have to sigh at the fickleness.
Now everyone in the entertainment industry has to admire Yang Ming's fierce counterattack, completely regardless of life and death, regardless of any unspoken rules, as long as this kid is caught with real evidence, he will be out all of a sudden, either you die, or I live, and I will not leave a way out for myself.
It's like playing poker stud, you win or lose.
The previous news persecution incident of "Huaxia Film and Television", and the current kung fu film industry chain incident, Yang Ming's method is the same, first to obtain real evidence, and then directly and comprehensively exposed, ignoring the unspoken rules of the industry, and desperately fighting with opponents.
Yang Ming's approach and style have certainly achieved the desired effect, but also attracted the attention of some people in the entertainment industry, because Yang Ming, a person who breaks the rules, is something they don't like very much and is not welcome.
However, Yang Ming didn't know this, he spent the past two days with his family, playing and shopping in Yanjing, and preparing for the upcoming Spring Festival.
Su Su also followed Yang Ming to get busy, she is now the prospective daughter-in-law of the Yang family, this time Su Su returned to Fuzhou, the parents of the two sides have already met, and it can be regarded as setting a name for the two of them, just after graduation, the two can get married.
Now, Susukor is the most popular person in the family.
There are still four or five days to go for the Chinese New Year, but today Yang Ming is going to report to the national TV station to prepare for the rehearsal.
Although he thinks that he doesn't need a rehearsal, but the rules are like this, and Yang Ming doesn't have any way, but fortunately, now that everything has been arranged, he doesn't need to worry too much.
However, there is still one thing that Yang Ming needs to pay attention to again.
The entertainment industry is changing three times a day, because of the problems of the kung fu film industry chain, Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang's master and apprentice can be said to have ruined their reputations, but those industrial chains are still in their hands, and there is no change for the time being.
This result was not what Yang Ming wanted.
The next day, a media news report instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the entertainment industry, and this time, the influence is no longer limited to the entertainment industry, and more people have become interested and indignant in this news report.
"A martial artist who has been in the industry for 20 years, fortunately for half his life, he is still worried about his livelihood, he is sick, there is no guarantee, and he has to continue to endure the exploitation and harsh criticism of the company. ”
In this report, an ordinary person is introduced in detail, because he has no skills, he has no choice but to enter the martial arts industry, for a meager salary, he has been working for more than ten years, but the money he earns is not enough for him to accumulate a disease because he often does difficult shots.
No welfare, no insurance, no security, no personnel.
However, according to the investigation, the money given by the cooperative crew according to the contract is enough to pay the various treatments of the martial artists, but now the salaries that the martial artists get in their hands have shrunk, and the shrinkage is very great.
So where did all the shrinking money go?
The answer is obvious, it was fished out by Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang.
When this result came out, it directly attracted the attention of the relevant departments of labor and social security in Huaxia, and the nature of the matter suddenly changed, and this involved the most basic issue of safeguarding human rights in Huaxia.
In layman's terms, that is, Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang's apprentices broke the law.
Soon, the master and apprentice were summoned by the court, because the evidence was conclusive, and the best outcome was to pay an astronomical fine, and there was even a high possibility that they would be imprisoned.
This result surprised everyone in the entertainment industry, and the gaze that looked at Yang Ming changed again.
He put people in prison again.
Last time, Meng Yuanhua, the editor-in-chief of "Huaxia Film and Television", was almost convicted because of Yang Ming, but he also spent a lot of money to get rid of his guilt.
Now it's the turn of Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang's master and apprentice.
This Yang Ming is simply a hedgehog, whoever touches it is unlucky, and for a while, the criticism and accusations against Yang Ming by various media have suddenly decreased a lot.
Those people were not afraid of Yang Ming, but they were a little frightened by Yang Ming's character.
Yang Ming didn't care about this, when he learned the news that Zhou Qiangsheng and Liu Qiang were summoned by the court, he knew that the general situation had been decided, and immediately made a phone call to Liu Xinsheng.
"Brother Liu, things are going according to plan, tell Sù Lao Zheng, this time we will recruit 20 martial artists first, and we must have experienced martial artists. ”
"You can rest assured, Yang Ming. ”
Obviously, Yang Ming's biggest hole card this time is this Lao Zheng, this martial artist named Lao Zheng was met by Yang Ming when he was filming "Smiling Proud Jianghu", after getting acquainted with it, he inadvertently chatted, and Yang Ming also knew the other party's situation and the somewhat miserable treatment of other martial artists.
Therefore, Yang Ming formulated this plan, and now it seems that this plan can be regarded as a great success.
As soon as the plan was successful, Yang Ming immediately asked Liu Xinsheng to inform Lao Zheng to contact the martial artist according to the plan and join Oriental DreamWorks.
In this way, when Oriental DreamWorks shoots its own kung fu movies in the future, it will no longer need to find martial artists from other companies, and when its own martial arts team grows, it can also be exported.
This is the intention of Yang Ming from the beginning.
