Chapter 269: Guild [1]

"Durin was kicked out?", Nasha couldn't help but ask after listening, she had been a lot more cheerful since Durin told her the truth, and occasionally a smile appeared on her face. It's just that she didn't expect Durin to be kicked out by her partner, which made Nasha feel a little confused. This guy is definitely not a good person, Nasha has confirmed that, they can kill Morris if they can kill others.

But if such a person was stabbed and kicked out of the game from the back by his partner, wouldn't he have any remedial measures, or revenge?

However, there really not, Durin stayed in his own home honestly, did not run around all day, and except for the occasional visit to the filming site, he almost isolated all commercial activities. This made Nasha a little itchy in her teeth, and she was ready to take a good breath for herself during the negotiations at the end of the month, and take revenge on Durin's bastard, but she didn't expect it to be done?!

Lady Chrissy had already transferred the news of what happened here back to the imperial capital, and John was very happy when he learned about it, which showed that it was necessary and the right choice to let Nasha go to Illian to relax, the only thing that the old man was a little unhappy about was that Nasha's mood change was very likely to have something to do with the countryman named Durin, which was the last thing the old man wanted to see.

As the first of the third generation of the George family, Nassa's role is significant. To put it mildly, her words and deeds may be the vane of the middle management cadres of the enterprise, and her joys, sorrows and sorrows are no longer her own business, but a channel for the family to the outside world. To put it mildly, Nasha, who is extremely important, is definitely the best candidate for marriage, and there is no problem with who she chooses or even marries the royal family.

But she might like a poor country ghost, and Mr. John can only sulk in his heart, and say that Chrissy has done a good job on this mission.

"Where is Durin now?", Nasha quickly changed his mind, since he couldn't take revenge on the "One Finger" at the negotiating table, but he could still do it by looking at his defeated expression. Chrissy immediately told her about Doolin's movements, and Doolin should be on the set of the film if nothing else. He now goes there almost every day, some say he's chasing Frena, others say he's covering up his failures in this way, and Durin goes once a day, no matter what people outside say.

Nasha changed into a smart outfit, grabbed a handbag and went out, and when she got into the car, she suddenly asked, "Is Durin really courting the woman Frena? she's so much older than Durin!"

Chrissy's heart thumped in a slightly disdainful tone, and she lifted her glasses up to hide the panic in her eyes, "This...... Miss, these actresses are very good at dressing up, they can make themselves look several years younger than their actual age, and I heard that Lady Frena and Durin are from the same place, it is inevitable that there will be a good feeling between fellow villagers, and it is understandable if feelings are born. ”

Nasha laughed a few times and squinted at Chrissy, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Chrissy hung her head slightly, silent, knowing she couldn't say any more.

At this time, Durin was talking to the director about filming, and once the TV station was established, it needed a lot of programs to attract everyone's attention. There is no doubt that as soon as Durin successfully fired the first shot, many imitators immediately appeared. At that time, there will be competition, but Duhrin is not very worried, when it comes to TV shows, I am afraid that no one knows more about this industry than him, but he has hundreds of years of "advanced" concepts and materials!

"I've heard from my peers that the tape specifications of the players are not the same as the tapes we use to shoot films, they are more narrow, and the material has also changed a little, and it may be more delicate than what you see in the cinema. The director took the trouble to chat with Du Lin about these things in the interval between shooting, "And the tape of the player has not yet been specially videotaped, and the current tape is converted from large tape to small tape, and the cost is higher if there is one more process." ”

"In short, it costs about twenty-two yuan to copy a tape disc suitable for player playback, and if it can be produced in large quantities, maybe the cost will be reduced. Why? Is Mr. Doolin going to convert the film and play it on those players? It's a good idea, how can you watch a movie in a movie theater as well as at home?", it is obvious that the director misunderstood what Doolin meant, and Doolin did not explain, which was a tacit acquiescence.

If a coil of tape costs 20 yuan to compress the cost is not a clerical error, then it will take at least 25 yuan to transport it from Ilian to other places, with a small cost of one dollar and three dollars more. The cost was much higher than he expected, he thought he could get it for only a dozen yuan, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. A roll of tape a week, a month is a hundred yuan of cost, which will obviously make some middle-class families afford to buy TV but look down on TV, this is not what he wants, it seems that only one period a week can be adjusted to ten days or half a month. At the same time, it is also necessary to hire some experts to conduct targeted research and improvement, reduce unnecessary processes and reduce costs, and if the cost of tape can be suppressed within ten yuan, this industry is his final say.

"If I need some scripts and some actors to shoot some musicals, who should I go to?", Durin took a cigarette and handed it to the director, who smiled and did not forget to thank Durin in his hand.

He sniffed the peculiar smell of cigarettes, and then stuffed it into his mouth, "Thank you, in fact, these things can find everything you need from the Actors Guild, the Actors Guild sounds like it only cares about the affairs of those actors, in fact, there are some screenwriters and directors who have also joined the Actors Guild, they should be called the Film Guild!"

The president of the Actors' Guild drew on the rules and regulations of the workers' union, and set a series of standards that members must follow. Among them, there are also very strict standards for remuneration, which once brought the producers and the actors' guild to the extreme. However, the struggle ended in less than a week, as they could not find anyone willing to be a supporting actor or extra.

In the face of tremendous pressure, the producers finally agreed to the standards set by the Actors Guild on remuneration, and the remuneration of extras should not be less than 1% of the actor's salary, and the remuneration of supporting roles should not be less than 1/40 of the actor's salary. This standard was quickly embraced by all the low-level and middle-level actors, and it was something that worked in their favor.

In this process, there are also some actors who have created some scripts, and some who have failed to transform into directors, and they have found their own living space in the actors' guild. A large number of low-level screenwriters and young directors have also hung up an actor for themselves to join the actors' guild, which can be regarded as finding a guarantee for themselves. As for why they didn't join the Directors Guild or the Screenwriters Guild...... That's actually another question.

Seeing that the Actors' Guild was faintly threatening the producers, those tycoons immediately established the Director's Guild, the Screenwriters' Guild and the Producers' Alliance, not wanting the Actors' Guild to be dominant. However, it was their too anxious move that forced the director and screenwriter to the Actors Guild. Now if you don't have the name of an actor in the entire film industry, you are embarrassed to go out and introduce yourself as a director or screenwriter.

It is said that the president of the Screen Actors Guild said that the Screen Actors Guild will establish a director branch and a screenwriter branch independently to meet the growing enthusiasm.

Whether you want a script or a director, as long as you contact them, you will definitely be able to buy them. Now the tycoons of the film industry have nothing to do with this group of people for the time being, and it seems that the Screen Actors Guild is going to be dominant.

But it can't be!

After listening to the director's narration, Durin knew that it was absolutely impossible, and that there was a first element in the formation of any trust, and that was that everyone had to follow his rules. For example, the George family's newspaper trust was because he had three feature syndicates in his hands, and he had a monopoly on press releases throughout the empire. You can not follow his rules of the game, you can not let him take a stake or even buy news from him.

So what do you cover? Do you still sell only the same things in the city? If you want to survive and grow, you have to get the George family to take a stake and buy their press releases.

And then there are steel tycoons, why not the trusts of the steel industry, because the whole empire is full of steel mills, which buy ore from home and from abroad, and as long as there is ore to make steel. As long as the steel is smelted, there is no need to worry about sales, no matter how powerful the steel tycoon is, he can't stop all the steel mills in the entire empire from making steel for profit, and it is impossible to stop those merchants who buy steel ingots all over the world in order to buy a little cheaper.

So no matter how powerful he is, he's just a tycoon, not a trust.

It's the same with the Actors' Guild, which seems to be amazing for a short time now, but after this painful period passes, they will know what regret is. Now those films that are being shot can't be stopped, so they take advantage. When these movies are finished, that is, when the Screen Actors Guild faces a choice.

To put it bluntly, an actor is a person who has studied acting, and people are all over the street, as long as there are enough interests to tempt, you can find people with enough talent and ability to participate in this industry. These people have been cultivated separately by the company, and they will inevitably replace those actors in the Actors Guild. When they don't have anything to eat, they realize what stupid thing they've done.

If you can't control the source and make rules, there will be no monopoly!
