Zhang Ran smiled and said unhurriedly: "As far as I know, there are two more effective models for the management of extras, the first model is the American model, which establishes an actors' union to ensure the rights and interests of extras. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The Actors' Guild needs to pay dues, but the actors registered in the Guild have a minimum wage, and the crew must have insurance, so it will be more expensive for actors to use the Actors' Guild. But if you want to finance a film through pre-sale, you have to hire actors from the Screen Actors Guild, because if you don't hire members of the Screen Actors Guild, the insurance company won't cover it. The employment of non-union members means that the crew has signed a separate employment agreement with the actors, and this employment agreement is not a general union agreement recognized by the insurance company. For this kind of agreement, the insurance company does not know the basic situation of the actor, and he does not dare to insure. Therefore, the insurance company only recognizes the agreement between the crew and the trade union, and only recognizes the union actors. Zhang Ran looked at Cai Fuchao and paused: "The United States guarantees the rights and interests of actors through the cooperation between insurance companies and actors' unions. ”

Cai Fuchao knew that the nature of China and the United States was different, and it was difficult to set up a trade union like the United States in China, and it was unrealistic to apply the American way, so he said "um" and asked, "What about the second one?"

Zhang Ran continued: "The second is the Hengdian model, and Hengdian also has an actors' guild, but because it is completely for the extras and crew, the guild is a public welfare. The Hengdian Actors Guild is affiliated to the Hengdian Film and Television Group, which registers and establishes an actor pool for each extra. All the crews who go to Hengdian to film will be provided by the guild as extras, and pay a deposit of two or three million. The wages of the extras are uniformly paid by the guild, and once the crew maliciously defaults on the wages of the extras, they will be directly deducted from the deposit. The remuneration of extras who join the Guild is paid by the Actors Guild on a regular basis. After the extras finish work on the same day, the group leader fills in the salary slip and asks the assistant director or production director to sign it, and then goes to the guild to receive the money with the salary slip.

Although Hengdian does not meet the American standard, every extras will be insured, but Hengdian's practice has largely put an end to the phenomenon of extras being deducted from their salaries, and the treatment is better than in many places in China. Once the extras go on strike, the crew will lose a lot of money, so the director does not dare to anger the extras easily. ”

After listening to Zhang Ran's words, Cai Fuchao realized that Hengdian's approach would not work in Beiping, the Hengdian Film and Television Base was built by Hengdian Group, they have jurisdiction over the base, and they can require the crew to pay a deposit, otherwise they will not let you shoot, but the film and television base in Beiping is too scattered, and it belongs to different companies, Huairou has an actors' union, but they have no jurisdiction over the film and television base, it is impossible to force the crew to use guild actors, let alone force the crew to pay a deposit, without the protection of these two articles, the actors' guild is useless.

Cai Fuchao looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Neither of these two methods is suitable for Beiping, you must have a third plan, right?"

Zhang Ran replied: "I think it can be led by the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and unite several units such as China Film, Xingmei, and Bayi Factory to become a joint, non-profit actors' guild, using the Hengdian model, you have to come to our bases to film, of course, but you must use extras registered by the guild, and you must pay a deposit in advance." This will greatly reduce the amount of fraud and exploitation of extras. I believe that it is a good thing for all film and television bases, after all, if people are making trouble every day like "Zhu Xian", then who will want to film in Beiping in the future?

In addition to climate, prices, and other factors, the most important point is that Hengdian is the most standardized management of all film and television cities in China, and the functional elements of the filming base are very complete, and the supporting facilities are very perfect, forming a film and television industry chain. ”

Wang Wentao felt that it was best to have a superior to take care of it, and he could be relieved, so he applauded: "Mr. Zhang, you are worthy of being a professional, and seeing the problem is in-depth!"

Director Wu, director of the sub-bureau, also said: "We have received many reports from extras, claiming that they were beaten and deducted from their pay, but the extras have no contract with the group leader, there is no evidence, and in the end, they often can't file a case." With Mr. Zhang's method, that kind of black group leader can't take the play, and he can't deceive people, it's really a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle!"

Zhang Ran smiled and waved his hand and said: "Century Peak has acquired Xiangshan Film and Television City, how to manage the extras, more or less know a little!"

Cai Fuchao led slightly, Zhang Ran is really a very knowledgeable young man, and he has a deep view and understanding of the film and television industry, he should have thought about these things just now, otherwise it would be impossible to say it so easily!

Suddenly, Cai Fuchao somewhat understood why Zhang Ran built his film and television base in the south.

In Beiping City, there are enterprises directly under the General Administration of China Film, and there are too many government departments, and many things here will not go according to his wishes, and in the south, he can see the chain according to his own wishes like Hengdian, build a base, with Zhang Ran's ability and energy, that base may not be comparable to Hengdian after picking it up, it is really possible to build an Oriental Hollywood!

This kid has such a big heart!

Cai Fuchao stared at Zhang Ran for a few seconds, and when the base was really built, it would be ten years, and he was already retired at that time, he nodded slightly and said, "Your suggestion is good, I will put it forward at the meeting of the municipal party committee as soon as possible." As if remembering something, he asked: "Just now you said that the American crew and extras have insurance, so what about our domestic situation?"

Zhang Ran sighed and said: "The crew is a temporary organization, and the crew will break up after filming, the domestic crew is relatively chaotic in management, and there are no corresponding laws, regulations or clauses to require, some large crews have done a better job in this regard, and will buy insurance for the main actors and staff of the crew." In April this year, the pyrotechnic engineer was injured and died during the filming of "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment", and in this accident, the crew compensated 500,000 yuan due to insurance in advance. Some small crews are not doing very well in this regard, especially some small actors who are not famous, in order to go to the play, don't say that they don't buy insurance, but they are willing to pay for them. As for extras, there is basically no insurance in China! Only extras who follow the group, in some large crews, will have an insurance policy based on the entire crew, and extras who are paid for filming on a daily basis have no insurance. If there are casualties, judging from the current practice, you can only resign yourself to fate and look at the conscience of the crew boss. ”

Cai Fuchao frowned, looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Didn't your crew buy it either?"

Zhang Ran said: "I didn't have it before, but I bought it since April this year." In April, the covered bridge built by "My Captain, My Regiment" collapsed, and nearly 50 extras were crushed by heavy objects because they couldn't dodge, and the crew did not buy insurance for the extras, and finally paid more than 1 million. Many people are discussing this matter, and our company has made a decision to buy insurance for the extras, but they all buy group accident insurance for the crew, because the extras are all temporarily pulled by the group leader, and the extras who come every day may be different, and it is relatively troublesome to get insurance. But when the actors' union is established, and when the Chinese film industry is done, I think the extras will be able to get insurance alone!"

Cai Fuchao laughed: "I heard people say that you and the peak of the century are the benchmark of Chinese films, and this is really not wrong at all!"

Zhang Ran thought to himself, I don't want to be this leader, in fact, I just want to be a beautiful man who shoots quietly, but now in the situation of Chinese films, someone must rush forward, and no one else rushes, so I can only rush! So, when you become the director of the General Administration in two years, the censorship of domestic film and television works will be relaxed a little! He laughed at himself: "No way, there is no hero at the time, so that the vertical son will become famous!"

Three months later, the Beiping City Film Association Actors Working Committee was established in Beijing, and at the inaugural meeting, the trade union signed a cooperation agreement with several film and television base companies such as China Film and Bayi Factory, and directly connected with the base.

Under the guidance of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the Actors' Union is a joint, non-profit social organization registered by the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and registered by the Civil Affairs Bureau. The municipal government hopes that through the management of the extras market, it can make positive and beneficial explorations for promoting the development of the film and television cultural industry in the capital and even the whole country.

After the inaugural meeting, Cai Fuchao grabbed Gao Jun who came to attend the conference and asked: "What about Zhang Ran, he is the honorary president of the actors' union, he didn't come to the conference when it was established, and he couldn't get through on the phone, where did he go?"

Gao Jun shook his head helplessly: "Experience life, he is going to play a role in his new play, that character is a demoman, and as a result, he really went to the mine to be a demoman!"

Cai Fuchao's jaw almost fell, and he went to the mine to be a demoman, what was this kid thinking?

On a mine in the mountain city of Yongchuan, Zhang Ran was planting explosives with his bodyguard and driver, Chen Hao. In the mines, they use pseudonyms, and they are called brothers, and no one in the mine knows their true identity.

Zhang Ran and Chen Hao had been in the mine for more than two months, and at the moment their faces were covered with dust, and their chins were glowing with blue and black, and they looked almost no different from other absentees, the only difference was that their eyes were shining like opals.

Zhang Ran plugged in the detonator, then plugged it, and then began to wiring the wires, pulling the wires far away.

After the wiring was completed, Chen Hao picked up the detonator and whispered to Zhang Ran: "You go back, or I will detonate!"

Zhang Ran lowered his voice and said: "I'm going to play the demoman, it's the last day today, why don't you let me blow it up once!"

Chen Hao disagreed: "This is too dangerous, I am responsible for your safety, there were still people injured two days ago, let me come!"

"No, I've got to blow it up! Zhang Ran also knew that Chen Hao was worried about his safety, but after living in the mine for so long, if he didn't bomb it once, he couldn't say anything.

When Chen Hao saw Zhang Ran say this, he could only hand over the detonator to Zhang Ran, stepped aside, observed, and said, "It's still a little closer here, retreat a little more!"

After retreating a full hundred meters, Chen Hao observed the situation at the blasting point from a distance, and shouted: "Blast ready!"

"Three, two, one!

Zhang Ran immediately pressed the red button in his hand.

With a loud bang, the whole world shook and the gravel flew in dust.

It took a full five minutes for the smoke and dust to clear away, and the huge limestone on the hillside was blasted into countless pieces.

Zhang Ran jumped up, howled twice like a wolf, raised his hands and shouted: "Michael Bay, do you see it? This is the real explosion!"
