The strength of the trade union in the United States is well known, because it is impossible for the government of the United States to use taxpayers' money to set cases such as 'how to determine the plagiarism of the script, how to determine the layering of screenwriters, how to determine whether the actor has a specific impact on the crew because of playing a big name when filming', so once the case is brought to court, the hard rules of the union will become law. For example, script plagiarism, in the United States movie, the screenwriter's signature will not exceed three, because the screenwriter is divided into box office, and only the screenwriter who has created more than 30% has the right to authorship, because a script cannot have 120% of the creation, then, whether the director should sign the screenwriter when he modifies the script, and whether he can get this layer, it all depends on the minutes of the meeting submitted to the screenwriters' union after the filming of the film, and the shooting of the scene notes. It is not an exaggeration to say that the rules of the trade unions are law.

The unions that also have great power are the producers' break, the Actors Union of the United States, and the Television and Radio Actors Federation of the United States, and the people under these three unions will be taken away by the union after the end of their work, although this number is not large, but this can ensure that the union can make up for the loss of artists when they manipulate the strike. In 2008, the United States Actors Union and the producer broke off and made an awkward strike that shocked the world. What's more, it's the producer who offends?

In fact, this qiē is because the actors' union compensated the actors who participated in the strike, and the actors' union in Hollywood in the United States confronted the producers. did not hesitate to protest in this almost broken off way, which shows its authority in the eyes of actors. Reagan is the president of the United States Actors Guild. It is not an exaggeration to say that the chairman of the Screen Actors Guild is the emperor of the Hollywood actor industry.

According to the statistics of the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, their 120,000 members earn no more than 5% of their annual income of more than $100,000, only 2.2% of $100,000 is between $199999, and actors with more than $200,000 make up 1.6%.

That's why actors listen to the union. Ignoring the reasons of the government and the producers, isn't the main reason for the bankruptcy of Detroit, the automobile city, in the future, that the union will take the money paid by the workers to get a raise with the big bosses? After the power of the United States trade union is great, there will also be arrogance and conceit, and in the end, it will directly break up in two pieces.

While listening to Harry Sloane talk about this. Shao Yingying asked curiously: "What is the proportion of Chinese in the actors' union?" ”

Harry Sloan said: "I forgot, but I have a text from the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, you wait, I'll find it for you." ”

After a few moments, Harry Sloan found the copy. It clearly marks the proportion of each race in the Hollywood union. Sure enough, 米国 is a society that relies on numbers to speak.

Shao Yingying looked at the number jù, and was shocked, there are not many people in the United States who have a movie on the plate, the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild has only 53,000 actors, and the rest belong to the Television and Radio Actors Association, and even among these 53,000, only 11,900 are from blacks and yellows, and the highest proportion of them are African-American actors. That's about 14.8 percent, and Latinos make up only 4.9 percent. Only 2.6 percent of the cast are from Pacific and Asian descent.

Even if this 2.6% also includes immigrants from island countries, South Korea, India and other countries, although the Chinese still account for the majority of the 2.6%, the actual number of registered people is only about 700, and the vast majority of these 700 people are at the bottom of Hollywood and live a life of improvised performances, and important roles cannot be earned at all. Except for five or six people named Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Liu Yu, most of them will not have an annual income of more than $30,000.

More often, they can only make cameos in various American dramas, such as Zhou Xun's husband, otherwise why would Zhou Gongzi keep giving him work, and what is on the edge is to ask many directors to take care of him, instead of always having gratitude and tenderness on his lips when he is with Li Daqi?

This time, Shao Yingying understood that in all the realms of the world, as long as there is a place called the showbiz, there is a pyramid, and the people at the top eat sea plugs, and eat bran vegetables at the bottom, and the middle level lives a life that is slightly rich but cannot be compared with the middle level of other industries. This is also the reason for the deformity of this industry, because it allows all kinds of events to appear beyond the bottom line, and with these events there is a hype point, which is why there is a chaotic situation.

After reading this qiē, and after listening to Harry Sloan's analysis and adding his own thoughts, Shao Yingying asked rhetorically, "Isn't it a bit reluctant for them to contact me?" If you don't integrate your own strength first, you will merge the actors' union and the TV and radio actors' federation to strengthen yourself, and you will come up and pray for external forces, which is not in line with the principle of doing things in the United States. ”

He also understands that his identity can't be hidden for a long time in the United States, as long as someone investigates the background of Chairman MGM, Zhongying will definitely surface like a behemoth, at that time, in the eyes of outsiders, what they see is not Shao Yingying, but a man with a bright red flag floating behind him, this man is likely to represent some special meaning.

The key is that the actors' union wants to send actors to Huaxia is not reliable at all, the actors who go to Huaxia are not the same as the models who go to Huaxia, the modeling industry has basically been occupied by Russian women who have excellent demeanor when they are young and become bucket waist aunts when they are old, and what can actors play when they go to Huaxia? The mainstream of the Chinese film and television industry must still be Chinese, even if there are many anti-Japanese dramas, and the ghosts have begun to have a platform to enter the Chinese entertainment industry, it is only on the board of anti-Japanese dramas, and the two or three ghosts who became famous are only in the circle, and it is quite difficult for you to let the audience call out their names directly.

It's just a completely unreliable thing.

At the same time, it also shows that Harry Sloan's analysis is very reasonable, and it is estimated that he wants to use himself as a bridge.

For the trade unions of the United States. Whoever can open up overseas markets first in 2008 when the Zuò People Association and the Actors Guild of the United States are constantly fighting openly and secretly, will become more transcendent in Hollywood, and the dominance will be stronger. That's what they're for.

After Shao Yingying finished talking with Harry Sloan, he called the third master when there was no one in the office, and explained everything on the phone.

The third master took the phone and said, "See, but don't promise anything, and don't refuse......"

This is to wait for others to play cards, and the third master wants to be preemptive.

"Shao, this is not something I can decide. Are you done with things in Hollywood? If you're done, didn't you say a few days ago that you would come back to rest for a while and improve your acting skills? I thought about it for a moment. It's right that young people are self-motivated, and you'll come back when you're done talking to the actors' union. When the time comes, you will perform your drama, anyway, you will soon have a movie in China to come back to promote it, and domestic fans have not seen you for a long time. Other than that. Your hero Huayi also has a mess. If you can't deal with it, do you have to appease the old and young in the family for a few days? ”

Shao Yingying heard what he meant: "Third master, you let me hide?" ”

"Why are you saying so ugly, you are also a human being, you have a home if you are a human being, go home and see what's wrong? You don't know what the actors union is looking for you, not to mention that they can't ask for someone as soon as they meet, right? Besides, there are some things that I can't settle alone. Come back first, come back and talk. ”

The third master hung up the phone. Shao Yingying squinted his eyes, but felt that this matter was a bit messy.

Hollywood movies have entered China, but let's take the lion's share, they drink thin, that's it, and restricting the number of imported films is not equivalent to making a lot of money?

Shao Yingying couldn't figure out this question, and after thinking about it in the office for a long time, he watched the traffic under the entire high-rise building shuttling, and he faintly figured it out!

It turns out that domestic radio and television and films, Zhongying and Huaxia are just protecting our own films!

People in this circle in China know one thing, that is, in the past ten years, we have walked on the small screen to break away from the routines of Hong Kong and Taiwan, everyone is tired of watching those routine dramas of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and we have our own down-to-earth things; Later, the film market also began to leave Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the film industry, under the leadership of Feng Xiaogang and a group of other filmmakers, finally had our own original flavor, and at this time, we can say that our own things have finally come to an end.

But what are we facing at this time? It is the large-scale incursion of American dramas and Korean dramas after Qiong Yao dramas, TVB dramas, and Baodao idol dramas, many of these things are not imported films, but come in from unofficial channels, once there are more of these things, imitation is bound to become a trend, because people like to watch it, then, assimilation will appear.

Following the trend is a trend in this circle, if anyone follows the trend accurately, making money is also a quasi-earning, who has enough money for this thing? makes money effortlessly and brainlessly, and there are so many American dramas and Korean dramas that are hot in the market, who wouldn't grab money? When the time comes, our own stuff will be gone! Then the road of the past ten years can be regarded as completely in vain!

Maybe there will be days of getting rid of South Korea and American dramas!

This is a blockage, and it is expected that the efforts will be in vain, so it is better not to let them in.

Shao Yingying sighed, feeling quite helpless about this, you are blocked, at least it is completely blocked, isn't it? How can the current network society be blocked? It is so obvious that blocking is not as good as dredging...... Shao Yingying felt that what he thought was really a bit of a standing and talking without backache, such a simple truth would not be incomprehensible, and there must be a reason why he didn't know what he did. Forget it, if you are not in your position, you will not seek its own government, let us return to China, talk less and care less.

The next day, Shao Yingying met with the representatives of the United States Actors Union, and after the polite greetings, any requests from the media were only understood to contact the major performing arts companies, and to do the most basic investigation, if there are no actors from the actors' union who violated the regulations when MGM was filming, and whether there were any uncooperative actors, if so, they could complain, and the actors' union could impose fines and bans on performances in the most severe way.

Why is Shao Yingying so familiar when he hears this, isn't this the legendary ban? Co-authored with your old beauty also playing this set?

He casually agreed, and while praising it, he looked at the treatment of the United States Actors Guild unnaturally, and seemed to have nothing to say when he spoke. Isn't that? The relationship is not pulled like this.

When the meeting was finally over, Harry Sloan laughed wildly next to him, and the laughter made people panic.

"Old Harry, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at a bunch of stupid people who staged a scene where I don't know where to start, if I were the Actors Guild, if I wanted to win you over at this time, I would definitely give you some award, and it would have to be an acting award, and I wouldn't tell you that this was stuffed into your hands under the shady scenes, so that you could think for yourself. There will always be a day when people as smart as you will figure it out, and when you figure it out, you can only thank them. Now it's good, you see that these guys are like thieves, and I'm afraid that they will design a complete set for you to drill, which is thankless. ”

Shao Yingying glared at old Harry and asked jokingly, "Thanks to you, you're not my enemy." ”

"I don't want to be your enemy, in your mind, you can come up with a trick in your mind."

Before leaving the United States, Shao Yingying went to the crew of "007" to visit the class, Jude Law and Nolan are in the run-in, the two of them have to communicate for a long time before filming each scene, Shao Yingying watched from the crew, and did not speak, let these two play after the exchange, from the perspective of effect, Nolan is really a good director, every point is very accurate, when to confuse the audience, when to come up with attraction points, there may be flaws in the details, but within the overall framework of the story, The control zhì is very rigorous.

came out of the crew of "007", Shao Yingying went to meet Stallone after a day of rest, and asked about the promotion date and other matters. At that time, Stallone was still wondering, isn't Shao Yingying currently unemployed in Hollywood? "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is rumored to invite the chairman of MGM to act, didn't this kid take this kind of A-grade film, this is leaving Hollywood?

Shao Yingying couldn't explain it, so he quickly left after chatting about the ending.

Can he say that he was hiding?

This can't be said even if he is killed, so Shao Yingying did not give any answer to Stallone's puzzled gaze.

After staying in the United States for another three days and arranging the affairs of "The Hangover 2", Shao Yingying flew back to China, and this time, he was finally able to find the feeling of facing the audience on the stage...... (To be continued......)
