Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 312 Let Some People Get Rich First

After the structural meeting, there are company meetings for each department to report on the achievements and revenue of the previous year, such as the film and television company.

You need to make a report on how many movies were made last year, the revenue, and the profit.

Then the structure will also need to be adjusted and the common prosperity plan will be implemented. It is impossible to make everyone rich, but it will only make those who have worked with Fang Hong before rich first!
Since Yutu's production model is different from that of other film and television companies, it is not a director-centered system, but a collaborative production among directors, producers, screenwriters and other behind-the-scenes workers, so its system is different from that of other film and television companies.

The director will remove it first. How it is divided when the project is established depends on the negotiation with the producer.

If you want to earn more, just pay less and reduce the share, it's that simple.

In addition to the directors that Yutu is currently cooperating with, there are three major producers: Chen Zhixi, Han Jianu, and Tian Tian.

Tian Tian was born in the 80s. She later became the vice president and chief operating officer of New Classics. She has produced films and TV series such as Shameful Iron Fist, Legend of the Demon Cat, The Richest Man in Xihong City, and Hot as Hell.

He hasn't gained momentum yet. He has always been Chen Zhixi's deputy, but now he is becoming Chen Zhixi's regular employee.

The producer can enjoy the treatment of a vice president, with an annual salary of one million and 2% of the box office profits. The core behind-the-scenes staff, namely photography, art, and editing, will receive 3%.

Other non-core personnel are not divided!
With these core personnel including producer, director, photographer, art director and editor, it can be ensured that a movie can still be shot as usual even if problems arise.

Even if other people are exposed, we can still ensure the shooting by finding people with poor professional skills, because the others are just executing and do not need to be ideological.

Of course, the pay remains the same, but the share given to them is additional.

Taking "Lost in Thailand" as an example, out of the profit of about 3.76 million yuan, 5% is about 1800 million yuan distributed to the production team and the core behind-the-scenes staff.

That is to say, more than 1100 million will be distributed to those behind the scenes, which is equivalent to giving it to them for free.

The behind-the-scenes workers get more because they have to follow a movie to the end, while the producers get less because they can plan the shooting of multiple films and TV shows by themselves.

The producer must ensure the profits of the film and television, the profits of the company, and the profits of the vested interests of all behind-the-scenes creators.

If he can't guarantee it, who will follow him next time? Who will give him the project?
This system is currently in the exploratory stage and will be gradually revised later. Anyway, the core remains unchanged, which is to distribute the money and allow some people to get rich first.

After deducting taxes, Yutu already has about a 45% share of a movie, and Fang Hong has the final say on how to distribute it, including to the producers and behind-the-scenes personnel.

Fang Hong made adjustments slowly. In the end, he only needed to ensure that Yutu had a profit margin of about 20% in the film and television sector, and there was no need to ensure too much.

Because his business is constantly expanding.

Now that the market is big and the popularity of mobile Internet has also expanded the entertainment pie, Yutu will have more channels to make money in the future, including movies, television, variety shows, and investments.

No longer have to walk on thin ice like before, shooting one film at a time, and can shoot as many films as possible.

In addition, the rise of animation later on no longer relies solely on live-action films and TV series. Live-action films and TV series only need to continuously create content.

The adjustment of the film and television shares was sent to the email addresses of major internal producers and behind-the-scenes staff in the name of Chairman Fang Hong.

From now on, all profits from all future films and TV shows will be shared with the people behind the scenes at 3%.

"The principal is going to give us more money."

"I got it too, awesome!"

"If that's the case, then I can get a loan to buy a big house."

This is a conversation between Liu Yin, Li Anran and editor Tu Yiran. The three of them are very happy and excited.

How could I not be happy if I could get more money?

Tu Yiran was also born in the 80s and graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. In his previous life, he edited many movies including "Speeding Life", "The Moon Walks Alone", "The Eight Hundred", and "Knife of the Assassin", etc.

He also edited the previous film "Lost in Thailand".

This time Fang Hong wanted to give extra dividends to the key core personnel, and the news quickly spread within Yutu's internal circle.

I didn’t expect the principal to be so loyal and to really fulfill his original promise step by step to achieve common prosperity.

Most people are naturally happy and excited. Of course, some are envious, envious of the veterans who were able to get rich first.

"We have the final say in Chinese entertainment!" someone shouted.

This was their original slogan, and the principal has not forgotten them.

Some people even ran to the gate, blew on the statue of "Chang'e holding a rabbit", and then polished it.

Someone asked him what he was doing, and he said it was: "Faith"

This move not only benefited Fang Hong's core team, but also other film and television workers and behind-the-scenes personnel, benefiting dozens of people.

Because Yutu's production volume is constantly increasing, the number of core personnel will also continue to increase.

A series of rules and regulations will be adjusted for film and television matters, and Chen Zhixi will need to make the adjustments.

After that, the screenwriters also have to hold a meeting. The screenwriters have no leader and the management is relatively loose. Writing film and television or adapting novels is entirely up to them voluntarily and consciously.

Fang Hong brought someone to this meeting, Yang Yuanying, deputy director of the Film Department of Beijing Film Academy.

This is not important. His main identity is the director of the Film Critics Society. His job is to select awards and endorse films. He has the final say on whether your film is good or not.

For example, Liu Tianxian's acting is terrible, but if someone says it's good, then it's good. You ordinary people, get out of here, your opinions don't matter.

The Film Critics Society is much more senior than the Film Artists Association. The former is a national organization, a first-level society under the supervision of the General Administration, while the latter is a non-governmental organization.

The former are all experts and professors, and academic staff from colleges and universities; the latter are all celebrities, entrepreneurs from state-owned and private film and television companies, who share the spoils.

Yang Yuanying wore a pair of glasses, looking very intellectual and exuding a scholarly air.

She entered a meeting room and stood in front of it, looking at the people present, and said with a gentle smile: "Hello, everyone!"

"Hello, Teacher Yang!"

More than a dozen screenwriters attended the meeting, including Bao Jinjin, Zhang Disha, Jiao Huajing, Shao Yihui, Wen Muye, Deng Ke, Jiang Zhuoyuan, and Zhang Ji.

They also knew this person, their professor. Fang Hong was standing next to them and said, "I invited Teacher Yang to come here because I want to form a literary club. Teacher Yang will be the first president."

This made the group of people below confused and they didn't know what the principal was going to do.

"Let me tell you something. I have discussed with the principal that in order not to bury outstanding screenwriter talents, the literary association will adopt an application and recommendation system in the future.

The application system means that screenwriters with past achievements can apply to join this association. Of course, those who submit good scripts can also apply to join the association;

The recommendation system means that you can recommend classmates or alumni you know who you think are talented, but of course this requires my approval. "

The way Yang Yuanying speaks makes people feel gentle and approachable. It seems that reading more books is good for you. Sometimes Liu Tianxian also has this feeling.

As she said this, there was a buzzing sound from below.

"Those of us who have already joined Yutu don't need to apply anymore, right?" Jiao Huajing asked.

"No, not only that, some of you will become vice presidents and enjoy additional allowances." Yang Yuanying said.

That's good, I thought they were going to retake the exam.

Fang Hong did this because he wanted the group to manage itself and then absorb outstanding screenwriters on the market into the group.

“In the future, whether it’s movies or TV, Yutu will give 2% of its profits to the Literature Association, with the president taking 0.2% and all vice presidents taking 0.4%.

Regardless of whether or not a script has been written, as long as the work is produced by the literary association, the president and vice president will enjoy this treatment. "

Fang Hong paused when he said this.

There was a sudden whisper in the conference room. They had received 1% before, and now it increased by 1%.

And there are no nominal screenwriters, as long as you are at the president or vice president level you can enjoy extra dividends.

The temptation for the president and vice president is very great. They don’t have to work and can get money just by managing things.

According to this ratio, taking the profit of a film or TV show of 20 million as an example, the president can get , which is the president's alone.

There are multiple vice presidents, and they can earn an extra 40!
Their nature is different from that of producers. Producers have to follow the crew behind the scenes for several months. It is amazing for an elite to work so hard and shoot four films and TV series a year.

I can’t take more pictures now, I need to rest.

These screenwriters can sit in front of their computers and write a lot of films in a year. The films they write this year will be released the year after next, and they will still make money. It's different.

So I can’t give that much.

"The remaining 1.4%, 0.4% is used as a development fund. This development fund is to provide you with a guaranteed salary. In addition, it is for welfare. If you want to go on tours or team building, the money will be paid from this.

As long as you are a member of the literary society, you can get a guaranteed salary, regardless of your grades.

The other 1% is the share of the credited screenwriter, which means whoever wrote the script should make the money, and no one can take it away from them. "

Fang Hong probably made it clear what he said.

That is to say, their share of the script has not changed, but there is an additional reward mechanism, and that 0.4% is their salary plus benefits.

Don’t underestimate this 0% share. Jade Rabbit now releases many movies and TV shows every year. If it shows ten or eight movies, the base will be much larger.

Last year alone, Yutu’s box office revenue from movies exceeded 30 billion, which is equivalent to 2% of the money they earned as screenwriters, which is tens of millions.

The 0.4% is their future guaranteed salary, which is only to guarantee the lives of members, including new members.

We must always give people the opportunity to make mistakes and let them develop their ideas slowly, instead of simply condemning them.

As long as you come in, you will receive a salary. Five thousand is enough. The salary of 100 screenwriters is only 50, so it is completely enough.

Team building is also necessary for travel, and screenwriters also need to relax and change their minds.

This has a disadvantage, which is that it easily breeds lazy people. They can get paid just by lying down and travel, so who would want to work?

But now it is just a start-up and there is no such problem yet. We will make adjustments later to eliminate the lazy people.

There is no absolutely perfect system, it can only be improved through constant revision.

"Principal, I agree. This is very humane!" Bao Jinjin raised her hand happily.

And they are given money to go out and play, which is great!
The other people also had varying degrees of approval on their faces, feeling that the principal really cared about them.

"But we agreed that all benefits are only for members of the literary society and not for other people," said Fang Hong.

"We know this. Just tell me who will be the vice president. We have no objection to Teacher Yang being the president." Bao Jinjin said.

He is a teacher and professor at Beijing Film Academy, how could he have any objections? Fang Hong just wanted to give some benefits to such people.

This is the signboard, the influence!

Yang Yuanying looked at this group of young people and found them to be quite energetic. The screenwriters she had seen all looked old-fashioned and listless.

That's because other film and television companies exploited them too harshly and didn't take them seriously at all.

"Vice Presidents Jiao Huajing, Shao Yihui, Bao Jinjin, and Zhang Disha, you four will serve concurrently."

When Fang Hong said this, everyone else present was envious, but no one said anything because he was the first person to follow the principal.

The rest of them joined later.

"The president serves once every two years, and the vice president is also elected every two years. He can be re-elected, but it depends on the management and effectiveness of the literary society." Fang Hong's words put an end to those who are just sitting there doing nothing.

In other words, everyone has the opportunity to become vice president and become rich, but the ordinary screenwriter can forget about becoming president.

It is prepared for people of high moral character, certain literary status, and certain identity, and it supports a great figure every two years.
