Chapter 614: Management Committee
readx;
Such a good thing, those small and medium-sized film companies, naturally will not miss it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But they are also afraid that Li Mingbao's words are just polite words, and not really let them participate. With such worries, the bolder boss immediately asked: "Boss Li, do you mean that we, the small companies, have the opportunity to participate in the construction of the celebrity system?" ”
"Yes, you heard me right, I said it, it's a matter for the whole industry, of course, not only the big film companies are involved, but any company in the industry has the opportunity to participate. Of course, there is a reward to pay, and those who really want to participate must pay the price. This is not only for small and medium-sized film companies, but even for large film companies, there is also a price to pay if they want to participate, and the higher the degree of participation, the greater the price to pay. If you want to take advantage of it, but you are reluctant to invest, that kind of thing is basically impossible to happen in the celebrity system.
Of course, there is a degree to everything, and if you waste your own work in order to participate in the project, then you will not get much benefit in the end, I mean do what you can. It's fair that you can participate in as many things as you can. Li Mingbao said naturally.
"Pay the price, at what cost?" Those bosses naturally understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch, so they are not so resistant to paying the price or something. Even the big film companies have to pay the price, why do they have preferential treatment for these small companies?
In fact, this price is very big, but it is also very small, and it depends on how everyone calculates. If only a small number of film companies participate in this project, then the amount of money that each company needs to spend is definitely not a small amount.
Everyone knows that the plan of the celebrity system is to be huge. is related to the development of the entire film industry, although the number of the top stars is not very large, but the number of third-rate stars at the bottom is actually a huge number, just Hong Kong, the number of stars who meet the requirements of third-rate stars is not a small number, this is only Hong Kong, other places, the same number will not be less. To put it simply, the more developed the film industry, the more famous stars there will be in that region.
How to manage these celebrities is definitely a huge project. Anything that involves management is indispensable for financial support. Therefore, if you want to improve the star system and really make the star system work, then you must set up a management committee, and rely on this management committee to implement strict management of the stars. Of course, this strict management is not the daily life of the management star, and the management committee is also not a nanny, and the management scope of the management committee is only related to the promotion and demotion assessment of the star, or the management assessment of the new star, and it is a simple management collective that depends on the star system.
As for other things such as the life and work of the star, the management committee will not do anything, unless some behaviors of the star affect the rating of the star, then the management committee will come forward to investigate and make a practical document. To achieve absolute justice to the celebrity system.
If you want to manage so many star ratings, the number of people you need is definitely not something that a grass platform team can do well, so you must set up a professional company with the ability to count, and the price I am talking about is actually paying the price in this regard. The Management Committee is not a for-profit organization, but an impartial collective that depends on the star system for survival. How to say it, this management committee, in fact, can basically be regarded as a company with no profitability, but such a company needs to make an accurate statistics of famous stars, so the amount of money that needs to be spent is absolutely massive.
As a result, the working capital of the management committee has become a real problem. However, at the same time, the management committee cannot accept donations from a single film company or several film companies, because it is easy for these companies to control the lifeblood of the management committee and affect the fairness of the management committee's star rating.
Therefore, the operation of the management committee requires the cooperation of all companies interested in participating in the celebrity system, whether it is a large film company or a small or medium-sized film company, it is necessary to pay for the operation of the management committee. In this way, there will be no such thing as large film companies or powerful film companies controlling the management committee and affecting the rating. Li Mingbao said lightly.
"So, the reason why we small film companies can join the management board is because we need our capital to balance the funds of the big film companies? What kind of benefits does that have for us? Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, one of the owners of a small film company said angrily.
In this case, it can be regarded as finding fault. But Li Mingbao also understands what the bosses of those small film companies are worried about. Let them pay, and if they can get equal benefits, as long as they have the ability to pay, then it is not a big deal for them to pay. But if after paying the money, they still can't enjoy the preferential treatment of those big film companies, won't they be slaughtered as fat sheep for nothing? There was no money in the first place, and they were not as good as those large film companies, but now they have been exploited for no reason, and they have not been treated for any reason, so they will naturally not be satisfied.
That's not true. The cost of the management committee is actually divided into two parts, one part is the basic cost, that is, the daily expenses, the daily operation. On this issue, whether it is a small film company or a large film company, your treatment is the same, and the treatment that large film companies can get, your small film companies can also get it. And one of the most basic things about this treatment is the star system. Only companies that participate in the construction of the star system and contribute working capital to the management committee can obtain the right to recommend stars. In other words, if there are no film companies involved in the construction of the celebrity system, whether it is a large film company or a small film company, they will not have the right to recommend famous stars.
How to say this recommendation power, it is a quota. For example, if a large film company does not participate in the management committee, then even if it is actually owned by an East Asian superstar-level star in his company, but in our star system, or in this system, such a star will not appear in the system, that is, there is no official recognition from us.
Their celebrity life, or promotion and demotion, has nothing to do with our celebrity system, if it involves external cooperation, or internal cooperation, their interests and other things will not be protected by the celebrity system. Whether they gain more or die is none of our business. And our management committee will also remind those external collaborators that such celebrities or companies are not members of our management committee, and if there is a problem with all their contracts, they can only find the company concerned, not us, because they are not our partners. Li Mingbao said.
Although Li Mingbao's words are simple, everyone understands the meaning. Celebrities who are not registered in the management committee, or companies, any contracts they have outside are actually just individual company contracts, and have nothing to do with the industry as a whole. Famous stars can only be regarded as wild stars, without a formal name, and cannot participate in the competition, let alone obtain some of the benefits they should enjoy. Just like those wild models in later generations, even if their qualifications are actually higher than regular models, but their treatment is completely different from that of regular models.
If you follow Li Mingbao's thinking, then those small film companies are actually treated the same as those of large film companies in the management committee, if there is a problem with the famous stars of a large film company, the management committee will ask about it, and if a famous star of a small film company has a problem, the management committee will also ask about it. In this way, it is definitely good news for those small film companies, so that even if they work with some top companies, they are not afraid that those companies will be too much in the contract because they are protected.
In fact, Li Mingbao's management committee, to a certain extent, is the same as the industrial unions in the United States. Many categories in the film industry in the United States have their own industry unions, and if something goes wrong, they can find industry unions to solve the problem, instead of needing to go it alone.
However, companies in East Asia did not have such a union before, so even if the company did not receive protection, it was a common problem. Now that there is a management committee, although it is not possible to obtain industry protection everywhere, it is possible to protect their industry in some places where the management committee can manage it. Paying such a basic fee is definitely not a loss-making deal for those small film companies.
The boss of the small film company who asked the question just now of course understands this truth, so he said with emotion: "Mr. Li is doing this, for the entire industry, it is a matter of great merit, in the past, our film industry in East Asia, there was no such company that could stand out for itself, and when it encountered trouble, it could only fight alone, but now with the management committee, although it is impossible to cover everything, it is somewhat protective, and it will not let outsiders bully too hard." If I pay such a fee, I am definitely willing, and I believe most people will. The industry is too difficult, and now there is hope, and no one will object to such a thing. ”
