Four days later.

After Yang Ming and Su Su played a round, they returned to Yanjing.

After all, Yanjing has too many things waiting for Yang Ming, but he also promised Su Su that when he is done, he will accompany her to relax.

In the past few days, the matter between him and Hou Zhengde has gradually subsided.

The main reason is that Sister Zhu was too ruthless, and suddenly opened up Hou Zhengde's old past, making the other party very passive.

Sister Zhu also inquired about Yang Ming and did not continue to shoot.

The other party is also a well-known old-timer in the industry, no matter how reasonable Yang Ming is, it is not good to behave aggressively.

However, Yang Ming's cautious eyes are not so easy to forget how the other party targeted him.

After Yang Ming returned to Yanjing, he didn't immediately ask about the crew, anyway, Cai Gaoyuan was there, and he reported the progress to him every day, and he didn't care about such a little time.

He made a phone call to Li Dongyang and learned that the other party and the old dean had also returned to Yanjing.

Immediately make an appointment to meet the old dean tomorrow, he has something to ask for the other party's opinion.

Last time on the phone, Tao Lao had already very clearly reminded Yang Ming that his body might not be able to hold on, and hoped that Yang Ming would be fully prepared.

In case Hou Zhengde really wins the election by then, it will really not be too good news for Yang Ming.

Yang Ming naturally thought of Li Dongyang.

Li Lao is also a respected old-timer in the film industry, coupled with the fact that he was born in the army, he has always maintained the resolute and straightforward character of a soldier, and has won the respect of many people.

Since filming a few years ago, Li Dongyang announced his retirement from the film industry.

This time, due to physical factors, Tao Lao's two positions as the president of the Film Association and the chairman of the judges of the Golden Dragon Award will change, and Li Dongyang is also a little excited.

And Tao Lao also hopes to let Li Dongyang take over his work.

Nothing else is guaranteed.

At least Li Dongyang will definitely let him put 10,000 hearts at ease in terms of fairness and justice.

It's just that because Li Dongyang was born in the military art troupe, he was not born in an academy, which made the film industry question Li Lao's ability to a certain extent.

Even if Li Lao makes several classic works, this will not play a decisive role in the academy that occupies most of the film industry.

Hou Zhengde, who competes with Li Dongyang, is also not bad.

In the past few days, in his spare time, Yang Ming thought about it again and again, and felt that since Mr. Li Dongyang had the intention to run, then he had to help the other party and come up with some dry goods.

The various trade union systems he had discussed with Tao Lao before were the best reliance he had prepared for Mr. Li Dongyang.

The various trade union systems in the film industry are suggestions put forward by Yang Ming with reference to the unusually perfect trade union system in Hollywood in his previous life.

Since there are no similar unions in Hollywood today, when he proposed it, Tao Lao was very interested, thinking that once these unions were established, it would be a major change in the Chinese film industry.

Now, Yang Ming wants to better transplant those Hollywood unions in the past life to the present world.

Some things are indeed very beautiful, but whether they can adapt to today's Chinese film industry, Yang Ming really doesn't have full confidence.

So, he was very cautious.

Is Hollywood union good?

In the past life, many ordinary movie fans would think that it was good, very noble, and could perfectly protect the rights and interests of most filmmakers, especially for filmmakers at the bottom, which is undoubtedly the gospel, but many people in the industry are disdainful of this.

Because they are very aware of the so-called union in Hollywood, which is the existence of taking meat from the mouths of major film companies.

As for the so-called slogan of cracking down on the exchange of roles through physical trade, it is even more cynical.

What about liars!

Although Yang Ming was an unpopular star in his previous life, he also learned a lot of useful information from all aspects.

Scandals like those in the entertainment industry that exchange roles through various unspoken rules abound in China, and this situation also exists in Hollywood, but it is relatively not so rampant.

The world is as black as a crow.

He doesn't blindly think that as long as it's abroad, it's heaven everywhere.

This is a very naïve idea.

He once remembered that a well-known Hollywood action actor broke the news that the **** of actors and directors in Hollywood did exist, but the number was very small and the proportion was relatively low.

However, one thing that Yang Ming admires more about the Hollywood union is that the cost of exchanging the role through the unspoken rules is very high.

It is so high that most people dare not risk their lives easily.

In Hollywood, a film can easily cost tens of millions of dollars, and there are even dozens of companies investing in it, and the first requirement for directors is that they must make a profit. In addition, the reputation of the director is also very important in Hollywood, if a director affects the quality of the film in order to trade with an actor, he will be held accountable, or fired by the company, and no investor will trust the director anymore.

Directors, producers, and even investors do not have absolute power. The procedure for selecting actors: first of all, there must be a script, and then a working group composed of producers and directors will subdivide the roles according to the script, summarize the image, temperament, age, and degree of consistency with the characters in the play for each important role, and then hand it over to a professional agency for selecting actors.

This organization took these materials directly to the Actors' Guild and asked the staff of the Actors' Guild to notify all eligible members. Finally, all the actors who are interested in the role are gathered in an examination room, and the sketch is performed on the spot for testing. The examiners are made up of the director, the producer and the professional organization that selects the actors. In the end, only the actor who agrees on the three parties can be selected, and as long as one party does not agree, the actor cannot get the role.

From this, you can see the role of the actors' union.

It is impossible to set up an actors' union to make the entertainment industry full of light, without the slightest darkness.

No matter which country's entertainment industry, it is impossible to do this.

But if there is an actor union, at least the actors and vulnerable groups who have been treated unfairly can have a platform for them to find fairness and justice.

This is the purpose of Yang Ming's suggestion to Tao Lao to establish various trade unions in this world.

Because the number of entertainers is the largest, the actors' union is the top priority.

Actors have to pay dues every year, and the actors' union gives actors insurance, provides job opportunities, and protects various rights and interests. If an actor finds out that the examiner has a private deal with some actors, he can file a complaint with the actors' union, which is very powerful and can immediately send a lawyer to fight a lawsuit with the film company to which the relevant director and producer belongs. If the evidence is true, the film company will fire the director involved.

This is the duty and power of the actors' union.

It can be said that if the details of the actors' union are really to be made public, it is estimated that the entire entertainment industry will explode now.

The vast majority of film companies will unite to jointly target the establishment of actors' unions and strangle this union system in the cradle.

Therefore, after Yang Ming put forward this suggestion to Tao Lao, Tao Lao was almost taken aback at that time, and then repeatedly instructed Yang Ming not to leak this matter.

If you really want to be heard by the outside world, it will definitely set off stormy waves next.

Whether it is Yang Ming or Oriental DreamWorks, they will be submerged by the monstrous waves.

A year has passed.

Tao Lao gradually realized the Hall of Fame and the Avenue of Stars that Yang Ming originally proposed.

However, there has been no news about the trade union system.

It can be seen that even Tao Lao has no bottom in his heart.

The point is that his body is not enough to support him to take this plan out and carry it out.

After all, the establishment of major film unions is also a subversion for film associations.

He can't help but be careless.

Yang Ming has no complaints about this, he is not a hairy young man, plus the age of his previous life, he can be regarded as a person who has lived to be fifty years old.

Naturally, it won't be so uncontrollable.

He knows very well that there are too many people who touch the interests of such reforms, and many of them are predator-level people.

None of these people are easy to match, and when they join forces, they will definitely change the rules of the game for the entire industry.

However, Yang Ming feels that he has seen the hope of change in the film industry.

The government's high-level attention to cultural export, especially in recent years, has increased support for the cultural industry, hoping that the film and television industry can drive the export of local culture to the outside world.

However, in the film and television industry, except for Oriental DreamWorks, most other film and television companies are embarrassed.

This made the top level of the government can't help but want to reform.

This is yesterday after Yang Ming and Minister Guo slightly revealed the plan for the reform of the film union on the phone, Minister Guo also vaguely expressed the wishes of the high-level.

That's support.

Absolutely.

In fact, Tao Lao also got angry with Minister Guo about this matter, and Minister Guo knew some of the content of the major trade unions in the film.

Therefore, when he heard Yang Ming's meaning from the phone, he also told Yang Ming a little inside information.

With Minister Guo's cryptic disclosure, Yang Ming's grasp is naturally much greater.

Now his only thing is to think about how to better transplant the major trade union systems in Hollywood in his previous life.

The Screen Actors Guild is even more of a top priority.

The core of the trade union should be rights and interests!

Yang Ming thought for a moment and typed on the newly created document on his laptop.

The role of trade unions is to protect the rights and interests of their members, and their goals are set in common with certain commonalities, such as working hours, rest time arrangements, minimum wages and pay ranges, overtime pay, travel pay standards, etc.

In addition, the trade union is not only an organization that fights for the rights and interests of its members on behalf of the producer, but also a collective organization that provides services and communication platforms for members.

For example, the Directors Guild Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, etc.!

These awards can be used as the vane of the annual Golden Dragon Award selection.

Whether in art or business, the cake can be made bigger, so that more filmmakers have a greater chance of getting honors.

In addition, the union will also introduce health insurance and retirement plans to solve the worries of filmmakers.

In addition to the core of rights, the weapon of the trade unions is the strike.

The union organizes regular negotiations with the Federation of Film & Television Producers on issues related to the rights of its members, such as a higher basic salary package and a share of the new distribution channels. If negotiations break down, unions can use strikes as a weapon of protest.

Writing this, Yang Ming felt that his teeth were sore.

How did he feel like he was doing evil.

In the future, these will not lift stones to hit themselves in the foot, right?

The more you think about it, the more likely it becomes.

After all, he is also the owner of Oriental DreamWorks, which is simply snatching money from his own pocket.

But he thought it was still necessary.

The money is inexhaustible, and the proportion of profits generated by Oriental DreamWorks in his business territory has slowly declined.

And even in his opinion.

With WeChat and Phoenix TV in hand, it is enough.

And then again, there were so many unions in Hollywood in the previous life, and I didn't look at the major Hollywood movie giants!

But either way, strikes are a double-edged sword.

If it is used well, it will have great positive significance for safeguarding the rights and interests of filmmakers.

From now on, for filmmakers at the bottom, they are no longer a vulnerable group to be bullied.

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. Especially for newcomers and low-level workers, the union provides a basic guarantee.

Yang Ming carefully recalled in his mind the various trade union systems in Hollywood in his previous life.

The trade union system is not flawless, and there are many impersonal flaws.

Now he just wants to fix these defects, but he can't fix all the defects in place.

Therefore, when he gets the information ready, he will hand it over to Mr. Li Dongyang tomorrow and let him be responsible for improving and revising.

He was typing and thinking.

If Hou Zhengde knew what he was doing now, would he jump off the building in anger?

Let's be honest.

Yang Ming really thought about it with a little caution and took the initiative to establish the trade union system, just to make Hou Zhengde's dream come to naught.

He couldn't wait to see what kind of expression the other party would look like when Mr. Li Dongyang took out the details of the trade union proposal.

However, the bigger reason comes from Yang Ming's deep dream.

In his previous life, he was upside down in the entertainment industry, suffering all kinds of eyes, and he was very clear about the lives of people at the bottom of the film industry.

It was completely dark, and there was no ray of hope in sight.

It is this pain, which is deeply imprinted in his bones, that will make him want to establish a perfect trade union system in this world.

Maybe this union system won't make the entire entertainment industry bright everywhere.

But at least let all the people who are at the bottom of the film industry see a glimmer of light that breaks the darkness.

As long as there is hope, the dream will not be shattered.

In this life, Yang Ming has realized most of his dreams in his previous life, and now his biggest dream is to pass on this hope, so that everyone at the bottom of the film industry can feel the possibility of realizing their dreams.

The next day, he got up early, printed out the materials he had written overnight, took him out and drove to the old dean's side alone.

When he arrived, Mr. Li Dongyang had not yet arrived.

Under the greeting of the old dean, he started to eat breakfast first, and the old dean was quite curious to put on reading glasses and look at the information brought by Yang Ming.

After a while, the old dean took off his reading glasses and said earnestly: "You kid is going to poke a big hole in this day!"
