According to the company's contract, each signed artist will be provided with an assistant at the company's expense. This is standard and also the minimum configuration.
Higher-level artists will also be assigned a dedicated manager, as well as a personal vehicle and driver-cum-bodyguard.
If you want to be more advanced, it is an exclusive team. In addition to the above-mentioned personnel, professionals such as media, planners, lawyers, nutritionists, financial planners, makeup artists, and external spokespersons will also be included in the team according to your own needs.
.
However, at this level, artists usually set up their own studios and organize their own teams at their own expense. The people arranged by the company are still more satisfactory than those hired by their own money.
Because Zhang Yimou had a public official position in mainland China, it was inconvenient for the League of Friendship to send an assistant to follow him every day. Even if he sent one, Zhang Yimou would not dare to use it.
It's only 1987. A young man who has just worked in a state-owned film studio has a personal assistant by his side at all times. Who are you pretending to be?
Zhang Yimou didn't care whether he had an assistant or not, but Youlian gave him a monthly discount on the fee, which made him feel very embarrassed.
"Dahai, you see, although I signed a contract with the company, I have never made any contribution to the company. The company not only gives me a monthly subsidy, but also discounts the assistant's salary to me. I think this is a bit inappropriate, right?
"
Artists contracted with Youlian receive a monthly salary, which is not much, only 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. Artists naturally do not take this money seriously. If they really expect to live on it, then this artist's life will be too miserable.
Got it!
Zhang Yimou has a public official position and is not completely considered a member of Youlian Brokerage Company, so his salary is halved. However, the monthly income of 500 Hong Kong dollars is still a huge sum of money for Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou has won many domestic and foreign awards, so his salary level has risen rapidly. Now his monthly salary, bonus, and travel allowance can earn him just over one hundred yuan, which is equivalent to about two hundred Hong Kong dollars.
Yuan, less than half of the salary paid to him by Youlian.
As for the assistant's salary, it is even higher.
Youlian hires a full-time assistant from Xiangjiang. Even if he is a newbie, his monthly salary is at least 3,000 Hong Kong dollars. This does not include various bonuses and subsidies.
As long as it is only HK$500 per month, Zhang Yimou can barely accept it because he has worked on a film crew in Hong Kong and knows the per capita income level of Hong Kong's film and television industry.
But he really doesn't dare to take the 3,000 Hong Kong dollars per month. Judging from the domestic income, this money is too much.
The key is that he believed that he had not made any contribution to the company and would not be rewarded for his merits, so Zhang Yimou had no choice but to go directly to Sun Dahai to talk about the matter.
Just as Sun Dahai was about to say something, Gao Yi came over with a phone. Sun Dahai stood up and asked Zhang Yimou to wait for a while, and then continued talking to him after he finished the phone call.
The call was from Zhou Tao. Sun Dahai found an empty office and chatted with him for more than ten minutes before walking back to the conference room.
This was the result of a long conversation between the two of them and an appointment for an interview tomorrow afternoon. Sun Dahai's eldest brother had a hot hand.
Sun Dahai was very satisfied with Zhou Tao's kindness. Although he felt that the land on Baijia Road was a bit small, it was still better than nothing.
As for the two existing villas above, Sun Dahai decided to postpone the reconstruction without even thinking about it. Due to the limited area, the houses in Xiangjiang were too exquisitely designed, which Sun Dahai didn't like.
Sun Dahai really wanted to buy a piece of land in Taipingshan to build his own house. Grandma promised to live in Xiangjiang permanently in two years, so she couldn't even have her own house by then.
Sun Dahai has already thought about taking advantage of this stock market crash to buy a suitable piece of land. Rich businessmen in Hong Kong will basically buy stocks. People with a strong gambling habit will also use loans or financial leverage to speculate in stocks.
This stock market crash happened very suddenly, the decline was very violent, and the magnitude was quite large, so many rich people will definitely be trapped in it. Those rich people who lack financial strength or have loopholes in financial management will not be able to bear it anymore.
When the situation arises, you need to sell your assets to save your life.
Sun Dahai has already said hello to several banks with good relationships. He will not be stingy in offering benefits to anyone who can facilitate relevant transactions or obtain accurate information in this regard.
Sun Dahai had already planned in advance. Now he will acquire the land and spend a year building his own villa. He will be able to move in in the first half of the next year.
When Jiang Xiuping came to Xiangjiang to apply for permanent residence, she was able to move into a new house. She would not be able to come here until after graduation in July, and then she would not have to book a hotel room.
Now that Zhou Tao has brought benefits to his door, of course Sun Dahai will accept it. The land in Taiping Mountain is a scarce resource, and if he can get it now, Sun Dahai will never let it go.
As for the price, although it is more affordable to buy now, it is not the main factor. Sun Dahai is not short of the money, and he has no intention of using the land to make the difference.
This is Taipingshan's land! From now on, Sun Dahai will use it as a favor, and the potential income will be many times greater than simply earning the price difference.
Sun Dahai was in a good mood and returned to the conference room with a smile.
Facing Zhang Yimou's question just now, he replied nonchalantly: "Uncle Zhang, you can take the money with confidence. If you still feel uneasy, let's do this. We will add a clause to your contract that every two years,
We need to collaborate on at least one project.
If you have a suitable script, let Youlian invest in co-production. If you don’t have a suitable script, I will let Youlian be responsible for finding projects. What do you think?"
Zhang Yimou thought about it seriously and said: "That's okay. But I can help you shoot the project in Xiangjiang. If you let me be the director, forget it.
Xiangjiang's movies are very commercial and mature (routine-based), and their first goal is to get box office.
I'm afraid that the film I produce won't conform to that formula. Then the audience won't approve of it and the box office will be miserable. That would be bad."
Zhang Yimou is still very self-aware.
In his previous life, Zhang Yimou made several commercial films before the 1980s and 1990s, but they basically all ended in failure.
From the patchwork plot of "Codename Jaguar", to the top-heavy "Shake to Grandma's Bridge" with pale characters, and that film that pursues photography skills to attract viewers with underdeveloped vestibular nerves
"If you have something to say, tell it well" that I vomited...
Thinking of this, Sun Dahai couldn't help but shudder. Forget it, it's better not to let him mess with the script here in Xiangjiang. He really can't control commercial movies now.
Sun Dahai decided to let Zhang Yimou continue to make his literary films now. When the blockbuster era of the 21st century comes, he will be invested in making commercial films.
