Chapter Seventy-Five: The Adjustment of the DreamWorks Group

When ATV was established, Wang Jie also began to make some adjustments to DreamWorks according to the plan that had already been drawn up. Wang Jie took advantage of the gap between the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" to set aside a day to convene Mecca, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, Cheng Long, Teddy Robin, Shi Nansheng, Le Yiling, Liang Shuyi, the senior executives of the DreamWorks Group for a half-day meeting.

The time passed to April 1st, and on this day, all the employees of Jiayi TV and each of the contracted artists of DreamWorks Agency received a notice of issuance.

First of all, on the side of Jiayi TV, the notice of each employee reads: Jiayi TV Station has been starting from April 2, and the basic salary of actors in the dragon set is 40 yuan for 8 hours a day, plus two meals of two meat and one vegetarian lunch at noon and night. If you work overtime in addition to this, then the pay for one hour is 8 Hong Kong dollars, and less than an hour will be counted as one hour. Moreover, the dragon set actors are subdivided into group special actors: 40 yuan a day (calculated as eight hours), overtime is calculated as 8 yuan per hour, and less than one hour beyond the time is counted as one hour. Follow-up actors: 50 yuan a day (calculated as eight hours), overtime is calculated as 10 yuan per hour, and less than one hour beyond the time is counted as one hour. Special actors: subdivided into small, medium, and large, 50~100 yuan a day (calculated as eight hours), overtime is calculated as 10~20 yuan per hour, and less than one hour is counted as one hour.

In addition to the first-level trick is to implement a fixed one-day salary plus overtime salary, the second-level actors have joined the company for less than 5 years, and have not played the main supporting role in TV dramas with ratings of more than 30%, their basic salary is 500 per month, and 50 Hong Kong dollars per episode of a play. The third level is for those who have joined the company for less than 10 years and have not played a major supporting role in a TV series with ratings of more than 50%, with a basic salary of 800 yuan a month and 100 Hong Kong dollars per episode.

Next up are the stars. The first grade is in TV dramas with ratings of more than 20%, who have played more than 5 major supporting roles, or stars who have debuted for more than five years and starred in 20 TV series with roles of speaking for more than 60 minutes, with a basic salary of 1000 and 200 yuan per episode. In addition, if the comprehensive evaluation of the TV series filmed meets the standard, there is a year-end bonus of 10,000 yuan that can be obtained. The second grade is in TV dramas with ratings of more than 20%, who have played the protagonist more than 3 times, or who have debuted for more than ten years and starred in 10 TV series with ratings of more than 20% and stars who have spoken for more than 60 minutes, with a basic salary of 1500 a month and 300 yuan per episode. Under the same evaluation conditions, the year-end bonus is 2-30,000 Hong Kong dollars. The third grade is those who have starred in more than 5 leading roles in ratings of more than 30%, or who have debuted for more than 10 years and played an important supporting role in 20 TV series with ratings of more than 20%, with a basic salary of 2,000 a month and a minimum of 500 yuan for one episode, and after passing the evaluation, the year-end bonus can reach 5-60,000 Hong Kong dollars. The fourth-tier stars have played the leading role more than 3 times in the ratings of more than 50%, or have debuted for more than 20 years and played an important supporting role in 30 TV dramas with ratings of more than 30%. Their basic salary is 3,000 a month, 800 yuan per episode, and after passing the evaluation, they can get a year-end bonus of 8-10,000 Hong Kong dollars. The fifth grade, that is, the top star, is usually the protagonist who has reached more than 50% of the ratings and more than 6 TV series. Their basic salary is 4,000 a month, 2,000 yuan per episode, and a year-end bonus of 16-300,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In addition to the actors, there is also the salary scale of the staff. The lowest level is a fixed salary of 2,000 per month for ordinary staff and 13 months' salary for a year, but if there is overtime, overtime pay should be given as appropriate. Section chiefs, directors, general agents, and general directors are 3,000, and they receive 14 months' salaries a year. The third level is the level of deputy department manager, deputy director, senior agent, producer, and senior director, with a monthly salary of 4,000 and 15 months of salary a year. The fourth level is the manager, director, and senior producer level, with a monthly salary of 6,000 and 20 months' salary a year. The fifth grade is Liang Shuyi alone, her salary is temporarily confidential and has not been announced. In addition to these fixed salaries and additional salaries, the staff will also have various grades of rewards according to their work results, such as supervising an excellent TV series, and the crew will have rewards.

The category of TV drama screenwriters is listed separately. Because they will merge with the DreamWorks screenwriting department led by Huang Baiming and manage it in a unified manner, it turns out that Wang Jie stipulated that in addition to the corresponding script fees, the film screenwriters of DreamWorks Pictures also have a share of 0.1%~5% of the box office profits, all of which are on par with Hollywood. After the TV screenwriter was officially merged into the screenwriting department of DreamWorks, the basic salary was 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if a TV series with more than 20% of the ratings was created, 2 months' salary would be added, if it was more than 30%, 6 months' salary would be added, and 50% would be added 12 months' salary. There is no upper limit on this salary increase reward, and it will be issued as it is if there are a few parts. However, the plot of the script must emphasize logic, entertainment, durability, etc., and must not be impetuous to catch up with the script. Since screenwriting is a very boring job, it's not like you can write a good script in a week or two, three or five weeks. Therefore, each screenwriter has a three-year period, and if he does not produce a TV series that passes the review for three years, the employment contract will be terminated.

The notice finally wrote: From now on, all contracted employees of Jiayi TV, including actors, will renew their work contracts. The length of the contract will be changed to 10 years. The scope of the contract is only an integrated brokerage contract in the entertainment industry such as television, short dramas, and so on. Songs and movies are explained separately. If you do not sign this contract, you will be deemed to have given up the above benefits and will automatically resign from Jiayi TV. ”

Secondly, DreamWorks Brokerage has also made some changes. At this time, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is quite weird, except for DreamWorks, there is no entertainment agency in the real sense, artists are either signed in film companies or record companies, only very big names are signed by no one, and naturally someone comes to the door to invite. DreamWorks Economics divides its artists into three grades, namely A, B, and C. The profit sharing between DreamWorks Brokerage and C coffee (celebrities and artists) is generally five to five. Celebrities and agents are also open, advertising revenue companies can account for 80% of the profits, and celebrities only account for 20% of the profits. The profit sharing between B coffee (celebrities and artists) is generally three-seven. Celebrities and agents are seventy-three open, advertising revenue companies account for 50% of profits, and celebrities account for 70% of profits. The profit sharing between A coffee (celebrities and artists) is generally 19 kai. Celebrities and agents are 91 open, advertising revenue companies account for 10% of profits, and celebrities account for 90% of profits.

The contract period between DreamWorks Brokerage and its artists is generally 10 to 15 years, and the liquidated damages are different according to the number of years, but Wang Jie referred to the CAA system to design a betrayal cost suitable for the social situation in Xiangjiang.
