Chapter 141: A Good Boss in the Chinese Entertainment Circle (2-in-1)
As a traverser, Wang Wei knows very well how much "borrowing" there is in his success.
Of course, the level of directing that has been honed in two lifetimes and continues to improve is an important part of success.
Gold finger is another important part.
However, Wang Wei never felt that he could count on Goldfinger for everything.
What if one day, this salted fish tongzi disappears?
Therefore, the key is to rely on your own ability.
It's not just Wang Wei's own ability.
- If he wants to further improve the quality of the films he shoots, it is not just his own business.
Making movies is always a teamwork, and Wang Wei not only makes his abilities outstanding, but also makes his subordinates more capable.
Otherwise, it would be useless to exhaust him alone.
What's more, he finally mixed up with his current status, and he still wants to enjoy his life and doesn't want to devote all his limited time to unlimited work.
The new "common halo" is of course a weapon to give full play to the best ability of employees, but the number is too small.
- Only those who break the record will have a chance to draw, and the lottery will only be left to add to the groundbreaking project.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that constant pressure and squeezing the potential of employees is the regular choice.
It's just that......
Even if there is tangible progress, it is impossible for the oppressed side to be without complaints.
Quite simply, not all people want to improve.
Of course, the boss hopes that every employee can be one as ten; But many people are more comfortable than lying down, and work is better than fishing.
At this stage, "dare to be angry but dare not speak" is entirely because of Wang Wei's prestige.
After all, he has also worked as a low-level worker, and it is not difficult for Wang Wei to understand this, so he did not immerse himself in the seemingly fruitful squeezing, but chose the opportunity to sacrifice a timeless and effective move - a salary increase!
——Salary is the source of motivation in the workplace!
The principle that you get what you pay for is the same in the workplace, if not more extreme.
What did Mr. Ma say?
The departure of employees is two things, the money is not in place, and the heart is wronged.
- A large part of the reason for "grievances" is actually "money is not in place".
When Wang Wei was a part-time worker, the most annoying thing was the SB boss above, who talked about values and talked about culture and ideas when he met people, but he didn't talk about money when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth.
We have already achieved the freedom to eat, okay, who needs you to feed the northwest wind and the spiritual food of the flatbread every day?
What's even funnier is that this kind of SB boss also likes to learn from Huawei to talk about "wolf competition".
MMP, the essence of wolf nature is to divide the meat of the wolf, not to draw bread to drive the wolf.
You don't give anything here, just horn horn, white prostitution wolf nature?
Well, now that he has become the boss, Wang Wei refuses to be the person he hates the most.
He encourages competition, but when urging people to forge ahead, at least give money, meat, and enough!
In this regard, Boss Ren is his role model - what is talent? If you give too much money, you will become a talent if you are not a talent.
Of course, he needs to spend some effort to convince Lao Wang.
As the big steward of Dunhuang's money bag, Lao Wang was born to clash with words like "salary increase", or rather, he was against all the words of red bills that wanted to be distributed with real value.
"What? Raise? You've got the money to burn! ”
He looked aggrieved and disobedient, as if he was defending his chastity in front of bullies.
Wang Wei's eyes said: "Let's be reasonable, Dunhuang is now promoting the pace of the project, but the supporting treatment of employees has obviously failed to keep up with the pace." ”
"They are under increasing pressure, and it's not uncommon for them to work more than ten hours a day, and even more and more days are working more than ten hours."
"Don't forget, the old man said that no matter when, while moving forward quickly, we should not forget those low-level employees, who need to share weal and woe, but also share blessings......"
In the end, Wang Wei also moved out the old man whom Lao Wang's classmates admired the most.
Although he deeply suspected that the old man's habit of pouring chicken soup was actually developed when he started his business in the early days, when he didn't have enough money, he could only rely on chicken soup to fool young people.
Lao Wang immediately retorted: "But, isn't the whole industry like this? ”
He said this with confidence.
As hot money began to pour into the Chinese entertainment circle, not only Dunhuang, but the entire industry has indeed become radical in the promotion of projects, but practitioners will not immediately "explode", and the subsequent increase in everyone's work burden will naturally increase.
Lao Wang is confident that Dunhuang's treatment is definitely not the bottom of the circle, what more bicycles?
Wang Wei shook his head: "It's still different." Other companies don't require difficult movie and game collaborations, nor do they keep 'tossing' their employees to squeeze their potential......"
"You can't ask the horses to run again, and the horses don't eat grass, this kind of boss can't survive three episodes in the TV series."
"Especially when everybody knows we're making a lot of money."
Lao Wang glared, feeling that he had been dissed.
Well, he understands everything.
However, if the boss who doesn't pick the door, is it still called a qualified boss?
However, his opposition was too weak in the voice of approval within Dunhuang.
Wang Wei, the largest shareholder, has taken the initiative to oppose the water, as vested interests Xu Daoxing, Zhou Lin and others, will they still oppose it in their brains?
Offer a raise, get!
Of course, the salary increase is not as simple as Wang Wei's wave of his hand and the salary of everyone in Dunhuang will be raised.
The salary system of various types of work in the entertainment industry is inherently complex and abnormal, and salary increases cannot be generalized.
For example—
The top treatment that the industry can give to non-investors is owning part of the copyright of the film - compared with dividends, owning part of the copyright rights is equivalent to owning a long-term meal ticket, which can bring a steady stream of income;
Of course, this kind of treatment is only a very small minority of the very few.
At least, Wang Wei's status as a producer or director cannot obtain this qualification, so naturally he will not be included in the "salary increase" plan.
The second level is the share of the box office revenue of the movie, or more precisely, the share of the early box office;
In other words, regardless of whether the income and expenditure are offset or not, as long as the film has income, regardless of whether it has reached a surplus, it can start to get a proportional share.
- There is no doubt that this kind of account sharing method is quite risky for film companies, and the top big-name producers or directors who can talk about it are the top big-name producers or directors, and they can't negotiate every film, and they basically don't consider including the "salary increase" plan.
Next is the relatively mainstream break-even point-based sharing method;
Specifically, it is to negotiate contracts with directors and other creators by paying less upfront salaries but promising more generous post-box office sharing, but the premise of the sharing is that the film company recovers the production and marketing costs.
The sharing contract that Wang Wei obtained before is similar to this one. Once the film is a big hit, the amount of money to be shared will be considerable.
There is an example of Wang Wei, which was finally included in the "salary increase" plan - in short, directors or producers who cooperate with Dunhuang can negotiate, and the specific proportion of account sharing is subject to the actual negotiation.
An even bigger breakthrough is that some high-level screenwriters, photographers, editors and other behind-the-scenes creative personnel with outstanding contributions have also been included in the scope of box office sharing!
You must know that according to the negotiation and coordination between the Chinese Film Behind-the-Scenes Association and the employer, the sharing plan that these types of work can obtain is, at best, a certain percentage of the net income share.
- Under the accounting system in the industry, net income is often in the air.
In comparison, Dunhuang's salary increase plan is really much!
Of course, the evaluation criteria of "high level and outstanding contribution" still need to be refined.
And the salary increase plan has not fallen behind for other low-level employees -
In addition to the industry's leading fixed salary, Dunhuang proposed the "Big Red Envelope Plan".
To put it bluntly, it is similar to dividends, after the film reaches breakeven, employees who are eligible for dividends will be given bonuses;
Many crews have this habit, but under normal circumstances, whether to send red envelopes or not depends on the mood of investors; If you are in a good mood, the red envelope is bigger; I'm in a bad mood, and I don't even have a small red envelope.
Dunhuang is equivalent to formulating a clear standard, as long as the standard is reached, there must be a red envelope.
Although compared to the above-mentioned sharing, the bonus red envelope does not look high, but if compared with peers, it is very competitive - referring to Dunhuang's previous standards, it is conceivable to easily reach two to three times the fixed salary......
This is not destined to be a salary increase plan that can be finalized in a short period of time, and a large number of details can only be introduced after the accounting and planning of professionals.
However, just the news was revealed, and the results were immediate!
——How many people in Dunhuang were squeezed by Wang Wei before, so busy that they were about to ascend to immortality, muttering every day that "the boss is not a person", Lao Tzu is leaving......
Now as soon as I hear that the plan of "substantial salary increase" is brewing, it is really fragrant, help me up, Lao Tzu can fight for another 500 years!
Although, certainly not everyone can get a big salary increase, but the company at least provides an opportunity -
Work may be tiring, but when you are tired, you can see the harvest and realize that you can still have some value.
Well, it doesn't need to be great, it's just simply worth a little money.
Not to mention how the mental outlook of employees has been renewed, Wang Wei, who was previously known as the "evil boss", instantly became their mouth...... "The only good boss" in the entertainment industry!
Tsk, the magic of money!
……
If it is said that the box office explosion of "Charlotte" and Dunhuang's "Female Director Support Plan", many people in the circle are watching the excitement, and the rumors of "substantial salary increase" quietly spread in Dunhuang have deeply stirred the hearts of the people in the circle.
A leader who has not tasted defeat, a platform with obvious rising momentum, and a very humane preferential treatment...... There is nothing more in line with the expectations of insiders.
Especially for many middle- and lower-level practitioners, their level is not bad, but the platform where they are located has locked their treatment and basically locked their future.
If you jump to Dunhuang, what kind of treatment will you have?
In just a few days, this question has taken root in the minds of many people unconsciously.
Director Kim Jae-ku, who was preparing to form a permanent professional director team, was almost knocked out by a pie falling from the sky.
——Although China Entertainment has a well-developed film industry, and talents from all walks of life can be provided at any time like machine parts, each director's style is different, and when forming a crew, they still prefer their own subordinates who are more familiar with and use them easily.
For example, the existing behind-the-scenes production team in Dunhuang is basically Wang Wei's handy team.
And Kim Jae-ku is also qualified to form a permanent director team after winning the title of "billion director".
He didn't dare to think about the big names in the industry, but he still wanted to recruit some high-level talents as much as possible - for the same reason that Wang Wei hoped, the team members were more capable and the director could be relatively easy.
Then, after the news of Dunhuang's drastic salary increase spread, he found that his recruitment work suddenly became very simple.
Many talents he felt had no hope of recruiting, and they took the initiative to contact him, such as the photographer who was on the phone-
This is his old friend who knows the roots, but he is much better than before, and he is a well-known photographer in the circle.
“…… It's true, with your level, if you join the crew in Dunhuang, you have a good chance to get a share of the box office. Kim Jae-ku said into the phone.
The old friend's breathing was heavy, and he obviously couldn't help but be moved.
But his main concern is-
"How much conscience can Dunhuang have?"
Kim Jae-ku nodded secretly, this is a very real problem.
After all, having a share and getting a share are two different things.
Everyone in the industry knows that film and television companies are notorious in arrears.
The main reason is that there are too many opportunities to do it - the statistics of the movie box office and subsequent peripheral income are simply a black box, which involves a lot of operations, except for the production and distribution companies that handle it, sometimes even the theater chain is not clear.
In this case, it's okay to say that the salary with a clear price is okay, as for the box office share?
Whether or not you can get it depends not only on the agreement, but also on the strength and status of the two sides. If you don't have enough means to ensure that the other party doesn't cheat you in this regard, then you can only hope for the conscience of the other company.
As weak individuals, it is difficult to say that they have the ability to restrain each other in the face of the powerful Dunhuang.
So, the question comes back to - does Dunhuang have a conscience?
Kim Jaeko didn't have a packing ticket either, he could only say-
"You should know that Dunhuang's reputation in this regard has always been okay, otherwise you wouldn't have called me to ask me, right?"
If it is really a company that pits people every day, and the so-called "salary increase" is just a joke, what else to consider?
"That's what I said, but I can bear it in the face of small money, but I may not be able to bear it in the face of big money......"
Kim Jae-ku smiled: "What is small money? What is Big Money? ”
There was a pause on the phone: "...... No more, millions of yuan, a month in arrears, no need to divert investment or anything, the interest of the bank alone is enough to pay wages to several employees, this is not a small amount of money. ”
"Heh......" Kim Jae-ku laughed, "Let's put it this way, if you are familiar with Dunhuang, you will know that this is really a small amount of money." ”
"It's not that millions of yuan are not money, but that with such a calculation, Dunhuang has already earned more money."
“……”
The other party was obviously suppressed by Jin Zaiku's strong confidence in Dunhuang.
It was difficult for him to understand where Kim Jae-ku's confidence was, but he clearly understood the attitude of his old friend-
It's a thick thigh, just hold it.
Of course, this is not a matter of one or two sentences, and the two then agreed to meet and discuss in detail.
Hanging up the phone, Kim Jae-Kumo held the new script "People in Embarrassment" sent by the company, and thought-
"Charlotte" hasn't been released yet, and the new film will be continued for me, with this kind of ultra-efficient Dunhuang, why can't you, as for deducting the rope for a little money, ruining your reputation?
He has received more than one such call today.
thought it would be good to be able to form a good director team before the new film started filming;
Now, it is estimated that "Charlotte" has not yet been released, and his permanent director team has taken shape.
It can only be said that-
It's a world where money reigns!
……
After finding out that today's change, this month only 100,000 words, well, the scum is really a bit too much salted fish~~~
