Chapter 580: Co-optation? [The previous chapter has been unsealed]

For the sake of human nature and seclusion of good sentences,

The words are not shocking, and the death is endless!

Du Fu's words are simply suitable for use at the moment.

As soon as Gao Fei's words came out, Han Li was stunned.

Seeing this, Gao Fei repeated it with a smile again, and said proudly:

"I've taken the Hong Kong Circle into account!"

Han Li came back to her senses and asked in disbelief:

"How is that possible? Has the sun risen in the west? ”

has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and Han Li knows the difficulty of this matter better than anyone else.

It was only after Gao Fei opened her mouth to explain that she realized that the "co-optation" that Gao Fei said was a little different from what she imagined.

……

It is said that with the gradual improvement of the domestic economy, a large amount of hot money began to pour into the entertainment industry under the leadership of Internet giants.

If you have to divide it into a time period, then 2014 is a landmark node.

For this reason, Goofy once made a simple division in private:

Before 2000: The era of domestic entertainment and wilderness;

2000-2014: The era of the rise of domestic entertainment;

2014-present: The era of domestic entertainment explosion.

What makes Goofy quite proud is that he has participated in all three eras.

Even the most critical era of the outbreak of domestic entertainment is the curtain he opened single-handedly.

This is not Gao Fei's own bragging, but a consensus gradually formed after private exchanges among colleagues in the industry.

And the reason why they think so is mainly because the box office of Chinese movies has skyrocketed since "Thai Embarrassment".

It can be said that it was the sentence "Thai Embarrassment" that directly raised the box office of Chinese films to the level of one billion.

The movies before "Thai Embarrassment" had a high box office as long as they exceeded 100 million.

But after "Thai Embarrassment", the future high-grossing movies are basically one billion.

Many viewers may not be impressed when they hear it, thinking that it is nothing.

But what they don't know is that the real significance of the 1.3 billion movie box office of "Thai Embarrassment" is not in the circle, but outside the circle.

Because it is the super high box office of "Thai Embarrassment" that allows capital outside the circle to see the potential and ...... of the film and television industry Profitable.

As a result, a large amount of capital hot money poured in, which created a prosperity in the post-entertainment industry.

To put it mildly, from this point of view, everyone in the circle owes Gao Fei a favor.

After all, there is no money, even if there are good actors, directors, and teams, it is still for nothing.

However, there is actually another view in the industry.

Because the release of "Thai Embarrassment" and the listing of Zhou Yi Film and Television were almost at the same time.

Therefore, a considerable number of people in the industry believe that Zhou Yi's listing marks the beginning of a new era in the entertainment industry.

What's that...... O(∩_∩)O haha~ It's hard to say anything about this statement.

I can only thank my colleagues in the industry for their love.

By the way, there is another point that is also recognized in the circle.

Everyone thinks that the main reason for the decline of Huayi Brothers is because they missed the third era of domestic entertainment.

This has made many insiders a little pity, after all, their start is too perfect!

……

However, there are pros and cons to everything.

As the entertainment industry enters a new era, the influx of a large amount of hot money has also directly led to the emergence of chaos such as "sky-high salaries".

Although from the actor's point of view, Goofy should wish that the higher the salary, the better.

But from the beginning, he still firmly believed that the "sky-high salary" was chaos.

The reason why I say this is not because of how high and bright Gao Fei is, but precisely to protect his own interests.

The short-term sky-high salary seems to make the stars make a lot of money.

But under this model, what is overdrawn is the reputation and vitality of the actors themselves, and even the reputation and vitality of the film and television industry!

Why?

At the root of this is the imbalance between benefits and risks.

Therefore, in the internal salary restructuring of Zhou Yi Film and Television, Gao Fei deliberately converted the actor's salary into an investment.

While this may seem like the same thing, it makes the whole project model healthier and more resilient.

But then again, with the sky-high salary, the news frequently appears in the newspapers.

made the profession of actor begin to become magical in the minds of the public.

But what many viewers don't know is that sometimes the gap between actors and actors is bigger than that between people and dogs.

is also from Chinese opera and Beiying, some people can get 100 million for a play, but some people can't even get 1/10,000.

For this part of the people, being an actor can only be regarded as an ordinary profession.

Zhou Yi once did a very interesting investigation internally, and found that aside from those "corners" with names and surnames, the average monthly salary of ordinary actors is only about 5,000 yuan.

The behind-the-scenes staff of the crew may be a little higher, with 1~20,000.

But such income is also unstable, and basically follows the project.

After the end of a project, it is equivalent to losing your job, and if the connection is not good, it is common to have no income for a month or two.

And this is the focus of Gao Fei Neng's acquisition of the Hong Kong circle.

……

Speaking of the "co-optation" in Gao Fei's mouth and the "co-optation" that Han Li thought were actually not the same thing.

The biggest difference is the different positioning of the Hong Kong circle.

Han Li's view of the Hong Kong circle is actually the impression in most people's eyes.

What "Four Heavenly Kings", "Double Monday", "Manyu Qingxia" and the like.

The director is a demigod and a ghost, and the Hong Kong star is full of halos.

In their eyes, only these top existences in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry are qualified to represent the Hong Kong circle.

even thinks that "they" are the Hong Kong circle!

But Goofy sees things from a different perspective than others.

In his opinion, although these directors and Hong Kong stars were brilliant enough in the past, the biggest wealth in the Hong Kong circle is not them.

After all, Hong Kong stars are all products of the times, and what really puts them on the cloud is actually countless mature film and television behind-the-scenes.

For example, martial arts with constant casualties, such as racking brain-racking props, such as whimsical screenwriters.

To put it bluntly, in addition to the fact that the mainland has always been self-contained because of the existence of the three major film and television schools, the film and television circles of Southeast Asian countries actually have the blood of the Hong Kong circle.

For example, Korean films started by imitating Hong Kong films in their early years.

Therefore, in today's stick movies, you can often see a lot of familiar charm.

But later, after the decline of Hong Kong films, the stick began to turn his head and learn Hollywood.

In the end, under the fusion of the two, there is today's distinctive stick movie.

Therefore, the reason why the "Hong Kong Circle" can be called the "Hong Kong Circle" is not just as simple as those directors and Hong Kong stars on the surface.

It is because of the special opportunities of the times that Xiangjiang has a complete film and television system early.

If it weren't for this, Hong Kong films would not have swept Southeast Asia back then, and they would have been called "Oriental Hollywood" internationally.

To be honest, if you talk about the wide range of radiation and the number of countries involved, there was only Xiangjiang in addition to Hollywood.

As for old Europe, the birthplace of cinema, it took a diametrically opposite path to Hollywood because of the influence of the New Wave.

In the end, the more confused I became, and gradually I couldn't even go out of the country.

It's like a pre-millennium mainland movie.

Except for the scenery at the three major film festivals, there is not much presence in the eyes of the people of all countries!

Therefore, in Gao Fei's view, the biggest wealth in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry after 30 years of glory is actually that group of senior behind-the-scenes.

So this time, Gao Fei took advantage of this policy to create a welfare protection plan specifically for the film and television behind-the-scenes.

To put it simply, as long as you are a member of the Xiong'an Guild and participate in the guild project, then the crew needs to pay a guarantee for the behind-the-scenes staff in proportion to the salary at the same time.

Formally, it can be regarded as a variant of the pension in the mainland's five insurances and one housing fund.

It's just that Gao Fei can't compare this with national policies, and at best it can only be regarded as a welfare treatment within the industry association.

Therefore, it can only be listed under the name of "Easy Pay" and entrusted to manage and operate on its behalf.

In fact, if it weren't for the preferential account sharing given above, it would not be easy to get those film and television companies that joined the guild to agree to this condition this time.

After all, this has nothing to do with more money and less money, it is purely the essence of capital that is cold-blooded and stingy.

……

"It's as simple as that?"

After listening to Gao Fei's explanation, Han Li's eyes immediately widened and said:

"That's too easy, isn't it? What about their arrogance? ”

Hearing this, Gao Fei just smiled casually and said:

"It's simple, but you want to be complicated."

"Besides, can arrogance be eaten? They are all adults, and being able to make money is the key! ”

It's just that although Gao Fei said it lightly, things are naturally not as simple as he said.

Otherwise, before him, someone would have incorporated the Hong Kong circle.

There are actually two main reasons for the vast majority of film and television scenes in the Hong Kong circle to join the Xiong'an Association:

First, of course, is the welfare guarantee.

After all, for freelance work such as behind the scenes of film and television, this kind of welfare guarantee is still rare.

You must know that I don't know how many Hong Kong stars will inevitably be poor when they are old, let alone behind their scenes.

So it's always good for them to have an extra layer of protection!

And the second reason is actually very realistic.

Because the Xiong'an Association has now nearly included nine out of ten film and television companies in the Chinese film and television industry.

Therefore, under the double temptation of better welfare protection and more job opportunities, the wall foot accumulated for many years in the Hong Kong circle has been hollowed out by Gao Fei!

It's just that......

Just when Gao Fei was quite proud of this achievement, Han Li asked with some hesitation in his mind:

"Boss, but...... Wouldn't that be too much? Is it necessary for us to dig up so many people? ”

Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately shook his head helplessly.

"What's more? I'm too little! ”

"Fortunately, there is also Xiangjiang, an experience pack that can explode gold coins."

"Otherwise, it will be a problem for the domestic film and television industry to maintain the current development speed."

Gao Fei just got a report from the Bureau of Statistics.

According to the report, although the total box office of the Chinese film market reached an unprecedented 45 billion last year, it increased by 48.7% compared with the box office in 2014.

But at the same time, there will be a gap of at least 200,000 Chinese film and television talents.

In other words, once this talent gap cannot be filled, let alone continue to grow by 48.7%, it will be good to be able to stand still next year.

And once such a situation occurs, it is undoubtedly a great pity for the film and television industry.

Because we are not short of money and IP resources, and there is no shortage of market.

If you slow down your development just because you don't have enough manpower, you're wasting the golden time that the times have given you!

Speaking of this, Gao Fei immediately rubbed the corners of his eyes a little tiredly, and sighed helplessly:

"No way, who let our domestic talent incubation mechanism not keep up with the development speed of the film and television industry!"

"The Bureau of Statistics expects that there will be such a big talent gap next year, I believe no one expected it."

"Now we can only find a way to see if we can make up for it, or make full use of the existing human resources."

Although Goofy himself is not obligated to solve this problem, no one asks him to solve it.

But he is a member of the film and television industry after all.

As the saying goes, "one is prosperous, and one is lost".

If the Chinese film and television industry can develop better, Zhouyi Film and Television will naturally benefit from it.

By the way, from this point of view, it can actually explain why there are frequent crossover directors in the circle.

The root cause is the shortage of film and television talents.

So to put it more offensively, Gao Fei has always felt that the three major film and television schools in China are a little incompetent.

No, it can't be said that they are incompetent, it can only be said that their pattern is too small.

The eyes are always on the glamorous side, thus forgetting what the foundation of the film and television industry is.

These film and television academies have not seen that behind the rapid development of the domestic film industry, the problem of talent shortage will be a serious problem that will be difficult to bypass in the future.

Because including directors, screenwriters, and publicity, all aspects of the Huaxia film and television industry chain need a large number of talents.

However, our film and television schools are unable to cultivate the talents needed by the market.

Whether in terms of quality or quantity, it is far from being able to meet the needs of the film and television industry!

It can be said that once this problem is not solved, then the "ceiling" of the film and television industry will be considered lowered!

It's a bit of black humor.

When Gao Fei worked hard to broaden the boundaries of domestic films and improve the quality of films, he looked back and found that the basic ladder was not long enough.

So I can only look at the audience from afar, wasting the time in vain!

But what is helpless is that although the shortage of talents is very urgent, it is not urgent.

It will take a long time and enough effort to improve the quality of talent in the industry.

However, to Gao Fei's surprise, Han Li disagreed with his opinion.

I saw her pouting casually, and said speechlessly:

"It's really not to blame the three major universities!"

"After all, when they established the school, they said that their goal was to train film artists."

"From the very beginning, everyone's positioning is different, so naturally the goods are not right!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh.

That's exactly what I mean!

The three major colleges and universities are taking the artistic route, but what Gao Fei and the market want is a large number of industrialized talents.

In this way, waiting for the three major film and television schools to solve the problem is tantamount to seeking fish from the wood.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei suddenly sighed helplessly.

It seems that the industrialization of film depends on the film and television industry itself!!

——————————————

PS: It's too tiring to check the information, it's more troublesome than writing a paper, and I won't be more serious next time.

In 2014, the total box office of national films was 29.639 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36.15%

In 2015, the box office of Chinese films reached 44.069 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 48.7%

In 2016, the total box office of national films was 45.712 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.73%

In 2017, the total box office of films in China was 55.911 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.45%

In 2018, the national box office exceeded 60.9 billion yuan, an increase of 9.06% over the same period last year

[15/16/17/18, in fact, the number of screens increased in the past four years is roughly the same, all around 9,000]

With the same growth rate of the screen, the reason why the total box office of the national film in 2016 only increased by a mere 3.73% should be because of the talent gap!

Suddenly I feel that the data is still quite interesting sometimes!
