The home of the old dean of the Yenching Film Academy.

Although the Spring Festival had just passed at this time, the temperature was cold, but after looking at the materials brought by Yang Ming, the old dean seemed to feel his blood boiling, and pulled Yang Ming to the courtyard, not feeling a little cold.

The old dean has been engaged in film teaching for decades, and he has seen the ups and downs of Chinese films in great detail.

Yang Ming now comes up with a proposal to establish major professional trade unions in the film, which is simply earth-shattering for the Chinese film industry.

Once realized, the entire Chinese film industry will change for it.

It is precisely because of this that the old dean's heart is full of worries.

The old dean who has seen too many storms, no one knows better than him how big the turbulent waves will be if this material in his hand is exposed, and Yang Ming, who made this suggestion, will definitely be on the cusp.

If you are not careful, it is the result of the shipwreckage and the death of people.

Therefore, before Li Dongyang came, he had to determine whether Yang Ming really did this.

"Hmm!" Yang Ming nodded indifferently, as if he didn't take this matter to heart, nor did he take into account the situation he was about to face, and said with a smile: "Actually, old dean, don't worry too much, I didn't fire the first shot." ”

Hearing this, the old dean's heart was relieved, but he was tensed by Yang Ming's next sentence.

"But when the time comes, I'll cheer it on. Yang Ming said slowly.

Although his tone was light, his eyes were full of firm conviction.

Obviously, Yang Ming has already made a decision on this matter.

Just when the old dean was about to speak and ask, Li Dongyang arrived.

"Call me here, what the hell is going on? and call me here, is it good feng shui here?"

As soon as he entered the door, Li Dongyang joked with a smile.

It's a pity that the old dean didn't have the heart to joke with Li Dongyang today, he stuffed the materials in his hand into the other party's hand, and said: "You take a look first, and then say, after reading it, if you can still laugh, I will take out my 20-year-old bottle of Moutai." ”

Li Dongyang looked at the old dean and Yang Ming quite curiously.

He felt that the expressions of the two seemed to be indescribably solemn.

It's as if something big is about to happen.

So, he couldn't help but take the materials, go back to the living room of the house, sit down, and slowly look through them.

The weather outside was still quite cold, Yang Ming and the old dean said a few words, but they still returned to the house, the old lady also made a pot of tea for the three of them, Yang Ming quickly took it over and poured tea for a few people.

After a long time.

Li Dongyang, who had already finished reading the information, raised his head and rubbed his eyes, it was really a little difficult to read so many words in such a short time.

He didn't speak immediately, but first looked at Yang Ming carefully, then sighed heavily, stretched out his hand and nodded at Yang Ming, and sighed: "Good boy!"

Yang Ming saw Li Dongyang's reaction like this, and he also expected it, so he nodded with a chuckle and accepted it.

Seeing Yang Ming's rather complacent appearance, Li Dongyang couldn't help but laugh angrily, and said, "What's the matter? Now that you kid has made such an explosives bag, do you want me to light the fire and ask me, an old man, to help you fight the thunder?"

This old man was born in the military, and although he did civilian work back then, his personality is no different from those soldiers.

Without waiting for Yang Ming to speak, the old dean couldn't help but start to fight for his disciples.

"Okay, you are a ruffian, you have played hooligans to us, if you say now that you will not participate in the selection of the president of the film association, then I will not say a word, and immediately give this material to the old guy surnamed Wu, you don't want to light the fire, some people want to pull this fuse. The old dean hurriedly poured a sip of tea, couldn't wait to put down the teacup, pointed at Li Dongyang and scolded with a smile.

The surname Wu in his mouth is also another respected old-timer in the film industry.

At the same time, he is also a candidate who intends to run for the president of the Film Association.

When Yang Ming heard this, he quietly gave a thumbs up for the old dean, what he said was too powerful, but he didn't show any inner thoughts on his face, but said: "Old Li, don't worry, although this is an explosive bag, it won't let you charge alone." ”

"Oh, who else is going to charge with me?" Li Dongyang couldn't help but be interested when he heard Yang Ming say this.

Yang Ming's finger gestured upward: "The high-level officials have already known about this plan, although they have not made a clear statement, but they have also revealed the meaning of support very vaguely. ”

He and Minister Guo have passed the qi and are naturally full of confidence.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he really wouldn't dare to take the initiative to come out and shout for this matter.

It's so hateful.

If one is not careful, it will provoke the anger of the public and be attacked by the group.

The two old men went to Yang Ming's wedding, and they naturally witnessed the relationship between Yang Ming and Minister Guo.

At this moment, hearing Yang Ming say this, they all nodded thoughtfully.

Especially the old dean.

My heart suddenly seemed to be a lot lighter.

Yang Ming is the talent he values the most, not only is it now the signboard of Yenching Film Academy's external recruitment, but also the cooperation on popcorn online has given Yenching Film Academy a head start.

No matter what, the old dean didn't want Yang Ming to end up in the film industry as a shipwreck.

Now that I heard that there is a guarantee from the government, then this matter has half the chance of success.

"Elder Li, not long ago I talked to Tao Lao on the phone, his body really can't stand it, he needs to recuperate for a long time, and he can't work hard for the film industry; and the ideal successor in his mind is you! That's why I choose to hand over this material to you, he believes that only your uprightness will ensure the implementation of this reform. ”

Yang Ming slowly said what he meant on the phone last time he talked to Tao Lao.

Actually, he thinks so too.

Compared with Tao Lao's expectations in the film industry, Li Dongyang may be a little worse in terms of fame and popularity.

But in terms of personal moral quality, Li Dongyang is one of the best in the entire industry.

Especially Li Dongyang, who had a military career when he was young, has a more upright and upright personality.

This is also well-known in the industry.

Maybe Li Dongyang is not the best candidate to take over the old class, but he is indeed the most suitable candidate.

Li Dongyang heard the meaning of Tao Lao asking him to convey from Yang Ming's mouth, and his expression was suddenly for a while, and he fell into deep thought.

It took him a moment before he came to his senses.

looked up at Yang Ming and the old dean, and couldn't help but point at Yang Ming and smiled: "You kid is pouring me ecstasy soup again!"

- Hahaha!

Yang Ming and the old dean couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Seeing Li Dongyang's appearance, both of them knew that Li Dongyang must have agreed.

Next, the three of them began to discuss the material in hand.

Yang Ming is also very happy to see the second elder check and fill in the gaps.

After all, this material was transplanted from him according to the major trade union systems in Hollywood in his previous life, and although it has also been modified by him, it is not as clear as the two old men in front of him who have many years of experience in the Chinese film industry in the present world.

"Isn't the threshold a bit too high?"

"I also have this idea, although after joining the club, there is a better guarantee for actors and artists, but if the threshold is set too high, the price is still too high for the people at the bottom!"

"Then should we divide this membership fee into several levels? Divide different fee standards according to annual income! For those with more income, the membership fee should be set higher, and if the income is less, the membership fee will naturally be reduced, so as not to let the membership fee become a heavy burden for the low-level filmmakers, otherwise we will do bad things with good intentions. ”

......

In the living room of the old dean's house, the three of them enthusiastically discussed the materials brought by Yang Ming.

After listening to it for a while, the old lady also became interested and joined the discussion.

She was also a well-known actor in the film industry back then, and she also had the honorary title of a national first-class actor.

Li Dongyang flipped through the page of materials, and when he saw the suggestions on the distribution of interests written by Yang Ming above, he suddenly laughed: "To be honest, if this material wasn't handed over to me by you personally, I can't believe that it was written by your kid." ”

"Increase the right of actors to share in the income of film re-screenings. It's like a movie company grabbing money in its pocket!"

Yang Ming shrugged his shoulders freely when he heard this: "Money can't be made, besides, as long as we make the cake bigger, the film company will only make more, not less." ”

The old dean also nodded approvingly: "That's true, if you want to make the cake bigger, then the basic skills of our Chinese films must be very solid, and we must have enough funds to ensure the cultivation of talents, which is a good thing." ”

According to Yang Ming's suggestion in the material, with the continuous emergence of new distribution channels, such as DVDs, the Internet, streaming media and new media, the re-screening bonus must be included in the key work of the trade union and the major film companies.

This suggestion will very clearly touch the interests of film companies and well-known producers.

I feel like my head is big when I think about it.

Before the change, the old dean and Li Dongyang didn't dare to think about it.

In the face of major film giants, actors and artists, as individuals, are definitely in a weak position.

If you want to get additional benefits, you can't even think about it.

But if there is the intervention of the unions, then the impact will certainly be different.

"Let's not put forward this proposal first, otherwise the opposition will be too loud, let's set up the union first!" Li Dongyang said thoughtfully, since he decided to run for the president of the Film Association, at this time he has already taken on the role and considered the problem in the position of the president.

"Yes, you can't get fat in one bite, and you may choke. The old dean thought deeply and agreed.

Another focus of the discussion that followed.

That's the problem of strikes.

Trade unions are not government and have no law enforcement powers.

After all, this is a civil organization, and if it wants to confront the major film giants, it is obviously in a weak position.

The only way to do this was to strike and compromise with the studios.

When this question was mentioned, Li Dongyang and the old dean both looked at Yang Ming, this suggestion was made by Yang Ming in the materials, and they wanted to hear Yang Ming's thoughts.

Oriental DreamWorks has become a giant in the Chinese film industry, and it has been recognized by countless industry insiders that this is a thing that is about to become a fact.

And Yang Ming, as the owner of Oriental DreamWorks, must have his unique opinions on this issue.

Or in the eyes of the old dean and Li Dongyang, isn't Yang Ming writing like this to make trouble for his own company?

If he didn't know Yang Ming's identity, Li Dongyang wouldn't believe that it was written by Yang Ming.

It is precisely because of this that Li Dongyang quietly dispelled the idea of whether Yang Ming's support was hidden for other purposes in his heart.

Yang Ming was able to write this proposal, and it was obviously a very selfless filmmaker.

Definitely won't do anything that breaks the rules.

"It's a double-edged sword. Yang Ming's expression was very solemn.

Strikes are inherently a hurtful thing for unions and film companies.

"The existence of trade unions is a good thing for the rights and interests of film workers. Through solidarity action, filmmakers were able to break free from the "deed of sale" of the big studio era and win more bargaining opportunities for themselves. Then the trade union organizes a strike of its members as the only means of influence!"

"But for the entire Chinese film industry, if the union is too strong, it will bring some negative consequences. The unions' increasing demands on investors have prompted capital to find cheaper labor, including seeking to work with people who are not unionized in China or to make films overseas in areas where the unions are weak. ”

"We must be cautious about this issue and must come up with measures that are sufficient to balance both sides!"

The trade union system is like a double-edged sword, once established, it will profoundly affect the future trend of the Chinese film industry.

Therefore, Yang Ming does not want the trade union system in this world to become a cancer in the development of the Chinese film industry in the future, so he Yang Ming will not be able to atone for his crimes.

Li Dongyang and the old dean couldn't help but become cautious when they saw Yang Ming's solemn and solemn expression.

Indeed it is.

If the trade union is really too strong, not only will it not become a catalyst for the rapid development of the Chinese film industry, but it will become a poison and a cancer that hinders the Chinese film industry.

Yang Ming assumed several disputes between Hollywood unions and film companies in his previous life.

If this happens, how to deal with it?

Hearing these words, Li Dongyang, who intended to campaign, turned even more grim.

"We can't stop our efforts to move forward because we are afraid of potholes on the road!" Li Dongyang said seriously, "Xiao Yang, don't worry, I will take this material back and study it carefully, in short, we must be cautious and cautious about the establishment of the trade union, and we can't take too big a step, first pull up the framework, at the beginning, we must first do a good job of safeguarding the rights and interests of actors and artists, and take other things slowly." ”

"Hmm!" Yang Ming nodded, "Anyway, this matter will be handed over to Elder Li in the future, I am a little soldier, and I will be there with the rumors." ”

After the discussion, it was already noon, and Yang Ming had lunch at the old dean before leaving.

Li Dongyang knew that Yang Ming had a lot of things, so he didn't let Yang Ming continue to stay and discuss, and he stayed to discuss with the old dean again.

Yang Ming did not go home, but went to the company first.

Cai Gaoyuan has called him several times to ask about the preparation of the crew, and he wants not to ask again, it is estimated that Lao Cai has the mind to jump off the building.

When Yang Ming returned to the company and officially took over, the work progress of the crew accelerated sharply.

Filming is imminent.
