PS: Thanks to the Scarlet Sword Emperor, Yun Ai Flying in the Wind, jqker1988, (Scarecrow) Several classmates voted for the precious monthly tickets, and the first was sent to !!

Directors-guild-of-america, American Film Directors Guild, abbreviated as DGA.

Ye Sumang never expected that this famous director's union, which has been fighting with major Hollywood production companies, would only be in such a small building full of 'ancient charm'.

However, Ye Sumang didn't dare to underestimate this, after all, James. Cameron, Spielberg and other big directors also belong to this seemingly down-and-out, but actually huge, director's union.

"BOSS, this is it, you are here later, I will help you handle all the business." After Severn invited Ye Sumang to a sofa to rest, he immediately walked towards the front desk.

While Saiwen went to handle the business, Ye Sumang did not do it on the sofa anymore, but was attracted by the work content of the director's union on an LED screen on the side.

"Safety issues, filming time, schedule, as well as health insurance, pension, minimum salary, ........." Ye Sumang was more and more surprised the more he looked at it, it included a lot of variety, and even stipulated that the director could not accept a salary lower than the contract, otherwise he would be cleared by the union.

Although this article is mainly because some of the interests of the association will be on the director's body, looking at the general article about the protection of the director's interests, the payment of the director's union seems to be a little insignificant.

However, the content of this still made Ye Sumang frown slightly.

Because he suddenly discovered that the contradiction between the production company and the director's union can really be described as a real cheap and busy buying, cold and fire, and even spend a lot of money every year to apply for the audit of major production companies to ensure the director's income, this 'spirit' makes Ye Sumang, who is the owner of the production company and a film director, feel extremely contradictory.

Ahem......

Just when Ye Sumang was still thinking about the pros and cons. A light cough called back Ye Sumang's thoughts.

"BOSS, this is Mr. David, one of the directors of the guild, I heard that you are very interested in the director's guild, and he came here to help you introduce."

Ye, a two-time winner of Best Foreign Language Film, is also the youngest winner of this award. My name is David, the director of the directors' union, and I am very happy that you are interested in our union, and believe me, in our union, the interests of your work will be ...... to the fullest. David stretched out his hand enthusiastically and introduced it endlessly, but when he said that, he suddenly remembered the identity of the man opposite, and his mouth suddenly closed again.

Oh, yes. is the real controller of a well-known Hollywood company, filming for himself, who else dares to hack the interests of his own boss!?

Saiwen on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made David's face even more embarrassed, so that Ye Sumang only pursed his lips and smiled, and then he was very clever to relieve David.

"Wow, that sounds great, I watched a lot of it just now. This really plays a great role in protecting us directors. However, the entrance fee is too expensive, it costs more than $4,600, but I heard that the Screen Actors Guild only sells $380 a year. ”

"Haha, there's no way, there are a lot fewer people in the Directors Guild than in the Actors Guild, and there's a price and a kind of protection, isn't it?" David smiled and glanced at Ye Sumang: "I don't mind having lunch together." ”

"Of course." Ye Sumang gladly accepted. At the same time, he didn't forget Saiwen on the side, and the group soon arrived at the restaurant of the director's union.

It's very simple American-style food, a simple steak, and a fruit salad are all the contents of lunch, and during this time, Ye Sumang and Davy believed in inquiring about the responsibilities of the director's union. As he listens more and more correctly, Ye Sumang's distinction between the domestic directors' association and the Hollywood directors' union is becoming more and more obvious.

The biggest difference is the execution of the contract.

If Ye Sumang, as a producer, wants to seek a director from the director's union to film, then he must sign a contract with the director and the director's union, and then in order to ensure the implementation of the contract, the director's union will also exclude special members from coming to the crew to supervise the producer Whether there is a breach of contract, they will spare no effort to manage everything that involves the content of the contract.

This alone is very different from the domestic directors' association.

Although the domestic directors association also has the obligation to protect the director, it actually does not have much rights, just like the last time, Ye Sumang only signed his name once and it was over, as for whether the follow-up directors obtained their own rights and interests, Ye Sumang didn't know, maybe even the Huaxia Directors Association itself didn't know.

One received money and did his best, and the other purely became a liaison between directors, and the gap can be imagined.

"Ye, in fact, there are many directors from the East in the director's union, but you are very different from them, I can't tell you exactly what is different, but you give me a special feeling." David wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and said with a smile.

The conversation just now gave him a new understanding of this young and excessively big director and big capitalist sitting in front of him, he was not young and frivolous as he imagined, nor was he arrogant, but he was approachable, and even made people have great wisdom that they couldn't see through.

This young man doesn't talk much, but as long as he looks at it, he will inevitably ask on the point, this situation David has not experienced, but the objects are extraordinary, but at this time, thinking about the identity of this Oriental, David is a little calm, if there is no outstanding place, how can he create such a big family business.

"Special is special." Ye Sumang shrugged his shoulders, not caring about David's evaluation, but more interested in this union, Ye Sumang was very interested in being able to join, but he still needed a change in the contract.

Bringing up his thoughts to David, which made the director a little embarrassed.

"Ye, it's not that I don't want to agree, I think your proposal is also very reasonable, but this is not something I can decide alone, I have to go back and discuss it with the rest of the union, you see how it is, I will give you an answer within a week."

"Of course. I'm looking forward to the end result. Ye Sumang smiled and shook David's hand.

In fact, with his own film company, Ye Sumang is likely not to help other film companies shoot for the rest of his life, and the director's union is naturally dispensable for himself, and often even stands on the opposite side, but Ye Sumang appreciates this advanced system very much, and as the saying goes, 'knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated'. Although Ye Sumang is not ready to detain some directors, it is better to be able to consider the problem from more angles.

It didn't take long for Ye Sumang's proposal and the director's union to have an answer, and the other party finally agreed to Ye Sumang's matter.

In fact, this also stems from the fact that Ye Sumang has no excessive requirements, there is only one, when Ye Sumang is filming for his own company, he does not need the intervention of the director's union, that is just that, after all, he has to find someone to supervise himself when he is filming, and he has to share part of the profits. Although Ye Sumang is rich, he is not such a loser, even if the other party does not take much, but Ye Sumang is not willing to bear this kind of senseless loss.

And after Ye Sumang paid his dues for one year, he officially became a member of the directors' union.

signed a contract, and at the same time got a certificate, which is considered a proof of identity, which shows that this certificate is not only for China, but also for the United States.

After visiting the director's union. Ye Sumang went to the photographers' union and the actors' union again. It is generally understood that the responsibilities of these unions are actually the same, but the rights and interests they protect are slightly different.

For example, most of the rights and interests of actors are only diet, rest time regulations, etc., while the director's work is more focused on the protection of copyright, and Ye Sumang has also communicated with many actors and directors. My understanding of Hollywood is also getting deeper and deeper.

This also made Ye Sumang very emotional, sometimes it is really not enough to just read a book, only by really walking in and going to face-to-face communication can there be the most real feedback. And what you get from the books, many of them carry the author's personal opinions, which will obviously introduce a misunderstanding to the reader.

After digesting the information for a few more days, Ye Sumang Zuihou went to visit the screenwriters' union.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to the screenwriters' union, but Ye Sumang himself goes with a purpose, after all, as a big boss of a production company and a director, seeking haode scripts is a hobby for Ye Sumang.

However, it is obviously not so easy to fish for 'Jane' in a haystack, this time the trip to the screenwriters' union made Ye Sumang a little disappointed, at least a few screenwriters I have seen, either they don't want anything, or they only talk about it, and they look down on Ye Sumang in their eyes, and they also have a naked desire for money.

"Damn, these bastards, these damn book writers, BOSS, don't worry, our company also has a special team of screenwriters, and they will definitely come up with a satisfactory script for you."

Sitting in the car, Saiwen shouted very dissatisfied.

In the eyes of the assistant, Ye Sumang is his own God of Wealth, the greatest god who can create wealth, but in the eyes of that group of screenwriters, Ye Sumang is just a well-known director, as if his script will be buried in his hands.

You must know that his boss still holds two Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, these short-sighted guys.

Ye Sumang smiled indifferently, and the trace of mustard in his heart slowly dissipated with Saiwen's complaint, it is indeed true, his achievements in the United States are only a little famous, which makes Ye Sumang feel as if he has returned to the stage where he started his own business, making him very motivated and motivated!

This feeling is really wonderful, didn't I come to Hollywood to meet this new challenge, and now I look down on me, so I slap them in the face with good grades, but when I become famous, those former small fish and shrimp can only look up to their own existence.

Just when Ye Sumang was thinking about how to choose his start, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, Ye Sumang picked it up and looked at it, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, the official fiancée who called, Liu Yifei.

But as he pressed the call button, Ye Sumang's face darkened in the first second he answered the call...... (To be continued......)
