Chapter 193 Don't Suffer From that Loss (Third Update!)
Eating at a banquet outside is a gathering of a large group of people.
At noon the next day, Yin Jun and Wei Xiaofan gathered in Aunt Zhang's apartment again, eating in a more leisurely manner than yesterday, talking about Wei Xiaofan's precautions for going to Treasure Island.
"Brother Wei, remember to bring Sister Ling with you when you discuss the contract with the people from Baodao tomorrow." Yin Jun told him, "When it's time for negotiation, you don't need to say a word, just let Sister Ling talk to them. If they ask you directly, just say that you have entrusted Sister Ling with full authority because you signed the agent contract."
Although it has long been decided that Wei Xiaofan will go to Baodao to film, the specific contract has not been signed yet.
Before, it was because Wei Xiaofan wanted to perform "Bao Qingtian" and didn't have time. Now that he is free, Baodao CTS meant to get the contract done as soon as possible, so that he could go to Baodao to familiarize himself with the environment and start filming earlier.
While the popularity of "Bao Qingtian" has not dissipated, the filming and broadcasting of "Legend of Bao Zheng" can earn a lot of money.
Wei Xiaofan nodded, and said with some doubts: "Why are you so serious? Like the contract model and cooperation model we have in Jiashi, isn't it good? I am very satisfied with their conditions, and there is no need to add anything gone."
What Wei Xiaofan was talking about was the remuneration offered by Baodao CTS, which has increased by more than 50% compared to what he was at Jiashi. He is also one of the best in the TV drama business in the Asian Chinese circle.
"It's not about the salary, but about the details." Yin Jun smiled, "Brother Wei, don't you know? The people of Baodao are actually very xenophobic. Our actors in Xiangjiang used to suffer from the details a lot of the time. Mingli’s remuneration is not bad, but it is completely different in terms of working hours, work intensity, overtime pay, accommodation, car use, meal allowance, etc. If you don’t agree in advance, you will suffer a disadvantage. We are not afraid, but we will not do this kind of discriminatory loss."
The situation Yin Jun said was really aimed at the Xiangjiang actors by the people of Baodao.
When people from Baodao came to Xiangjiang to make TV and movies, Xiangjiang was a little more tolerant. They were originally from the same clan, so the general staff and celebrities were treated similarly.
But Baodao people are different from outsiders.
Xiangjiang used to make movies and TV shows, and they definitely treated them differently.
People in Baodao can eat box lunches worth 50 yuan, while people in Xiangjiang can only eat 30 yuan.
People in Baodao can live in 3-star hotels, but people in Xiangjiang can only live in 2-star hotels.
When Baodao people work overtime, they can get subsidies and drinks and other subsidies, and the level of Xiangjiang is lower.
...
Do these look familiar?
That's right!
No matter if you are from Baodao or from Xiangjiang, when you enter the mainland to make TV dramas and movies in the future, this is how you treat mainland actors and staff.
It's just that the Baodao people and Xiangjiang people at that time were ten times more harsh on the mainland actors and staff. Relatively speaking, the differential treatment between them was relatively good.
But this is the case. Many of the stars of Xiangjiang who go to Baodao to film are not used to it. This is also an important reason why the movies and TV dramas in Baodao have not been popular. They are so xenophobic. Where can there be good people willing to go Where are they?
Xiangjiang has a much more tolerant heart, so talents such as Xu Ke from Vietnam, Yang Ziqiong from Malaysia, Lin Qingxia from Baodao, Yukari Oshima from Japan, Li Lianjie from the mainland...etc. Xiangjiang film industry dominated the Asian market in the 1990s and made great contributions.
Yin Jun doesn't like to get used to their bad habits. Correcting the Baodao people is the first step, and correcting the Xiangjiang people is the second step.
When I set up a film and television company by myself and go to the Mainland to shoot movies and TV shows, no one should act like "I am from a developed area" to me, and treat me equally to the greatest extent.
Hearing what Yin Jun said, Wei Xiaofan nodded again.
They are all from the mainland, and they know very well that there are many constraints for foreigners living in the local area.
Even though most of the people in Xiangjiang are from the mainland, they have lived here for decades and have been somewhat out of touch with the mainland, so there is inevitably some estrangement.
Because of these barriers, those of you who are new from the mainland often have to put in a lot of effort to succeed in Xiangjiang, and it is far less easy for Hong Kong locals to get opportunities.
Now that he is going to film in Baodao, a completely unfamiliar place, he naturally needs to think more about it.
I would rather be more fussy when negotiating, and I don’t want to go to Baodao to be caught blind, and to be useless in filming.
As Yin Jun said, no matter how tiring the ordinary hard work is, you have to admit it, but this kind of treatment that is obviously discriminatory cannot be recognized.
"I asked, the filming intensity on Baodao is not too high, and they are relatively gentle, not as tough as Xiangjiang." Yin Jun said, "After you get there, if there is a suitable advertisement, you can still do it. Yes. But there are also a lot of horny elder brothers on Baodao, Brother Wei, remember to screen them carefully, so as not to cause trouble when you go home in the future."
"I know." Wei Xiaofan nodded.
"Also, before the filming in Baodao is over, you don't want to go back to the mainland, otherwise it will be troublesome to go to Baodao again." Yin Jun reminded, "After signing the contract, you should go to Baodao to familiarize yourself with the environment and try to get the TV series as soon as possible." Finished."
"Hehe, you don't need to tell me I will do this." Wei Xiaofan laughed, "They plan to shoot this movie for half a year. Let me see, as long as you get familiar with it, it will take four months at most. I should be able to shoot it in May. Back to Huajing."
At present, the mainland and Baodao have not been connected very much, and it is far less lively than the economic exchanges in the future.
Wei Xiaofan went to Baodao for a trip, and it's okay to go back to the mainland. Anyway, the mainland has been reformed and opened up now, and overseas Chinese are also very welcome.
What's more, Wei Xiaofan is now holding Xiangjiang's ID card, and returning to the mainland with a lot of money, the mainland can only welcome him.
But if Wei Xiaofan went back to the mainland first, and then went to Baodao, Baodao would definitely not let him go, and then it would be of no benefit to Wei Xiaofan's filming.
It is what Wei Xiaofan cares about the most that he can finish filming the TV series earlier and then return to his hometown.
To this end, everything else can be compromised.
After eating and leaving, Yin Jun didn't tell Wei Xiaofan that he had another plan.
As the number of affairs in his hands increased, if he did it by himself, he would definitely not be able to do it perfectly.
After the Spring Festival next year, Yin Jun will try to set up a company.
This company will be responsible for Yin Jun's film and television business and take care of some chores for Yin Jun.
Although the scale of the company will not be very large at first, the meaning of such a company to Yin Jun is different.
This means that Yin Jun has officially started his business.
And when Wei Xiaofan came back from Baodao and returned to the mainland via Xiangjiang, Yin Jun would give him the position of vice chairman of the company.
Even if it's just a false job, the meaning is different if you hang there and go back to the mainland.
At least it will be much more convenient for Wei Xiaofan to do things in the mainland - running the single gang and having a company behind him are not the same thing at all.
This is the maximum that Yin Jun can help Wei Xiaofan. Besides, Wei Xiaofan can only rely on himself in the mainland.
Back home, Yin Jun just washed up briefly, then sat on the table again, took a pen and began to write a novel.
Speaking of it, Yin Jun did not agree to Lin Zhengying to supervise the production of "The Prodigal Boy", saying that he was very busy, it was really not an evasion.
Because he is planning his own overseas novel writing recently.
It has been almost 9 months since I came to Xiangjiang. Yin Jun’s biggest job is to strengthen his memory, so that all the important things in his mind can be converted into words on paper to help him remember these future memories.
Now that he has been busy, he has almost done a lot of work, and most of the important information in Yin Jun's mind has been written down.
The more than 200 large notebooks in the safe are Yin Jun's spoils these days.
Of course, most of these notebooks are not future memories. Yin Jun's future memories are very concise, and others will be confused and difficult to understand.
Most of these are movie and TV scripts and variety show planning.
Yin Jun's memory of novels is actually relatively shallow.
Just like the difference between the book of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the TV series, he can remember the TV series or movies adapted from the novel, but he can't remember the actual content of the novel.
Especially for famous foreign novels, he is even more so.
Yin Jun watched the "Harry Potter" series of movies several times, but he couldn't get into the state after reading the complicated Harry Potter books for a long time.
To put it bluntly, it is still a reason for understanding and cultural atmosphere.
He is not British, and reading books written by British people, even translated books, does not seem to have a sense of substitution.
It would be different if it was changed to a movie. The various plots, relationships, contexts, etc. shown in the movie are very clear.
Although movies cannot restore the essence of books very well, good movies can at least capture 70% to 80% of the flavor.
In November, Yin Jun was seriously writing some scripts adapted from foreign novels.
And now, Yin Jun started to write novels slowly based on these scripts.
The foreign movies that Yin Jun watches are all in original English. After watching the first two times, there are naturally Chinese subtitles. In order to understand the charm of these movies more deeply, Yin Jun chooses not to watch Chinese subtitles. Listen to the original version directly, watch English subtitles.
Such a good habit has helped Yin Jun to write English books directly.
At least he can restore the dialogues of the characters in the script in more reliable English.
As long as these aspects are resolved, there is still no problem with Yin Jun's previous accumulation and recent hard study, and slowly writing and revising the description of the matter.
At the beginning, Yin Jun took a book that impressed him the most and had to be written earlier.
its name is
"Jurassic Park."
