Chapter 2172: Remuneration in the entertainment industry
The entertainment industry actually needs people like Feng Xiaogang who can speak out directly. Some of the current trends in the entertainment industry are actually not very good.
For example, if a singer, especially a first-line singer, performs one commercial performance and sings two or three songs, the two or three hundred thousand is very high, and he is not a superstar. If he is like the king of heaven and the queen of heaven, such as Na Ying,
, Don’t even think about negotiating with someone if you don’t have millions. How much it will cost depends on the scale of the event and the favor.
If it is a large-scale event, at least one that has an impact at the provincial level, the price may be appropriately lowered. If it is a national-level event, it is possible to do it for free.
For example, the promotion of the Olympic Games, the party to celebrate the success of the Olympic bid, singing, and being able to pay some travel expenses is a huge honor.
Even if this is the case, there will be many people waiting in line to get on. Therefore, in this case, sometimes price is not an issue, it just depends on the size of the event.
If you are talking about a small city like a rural enterprise, the price is hard to say, it will definitely be very high.
And you may not be able to invite them. Of course, spending money does not count. The son of a rich man can invite the king and queen when he gets married. These are all invited by spending money.
No celebrity can live with money. Of course, if you hire a big celebrity and find an acquaintance, the price will definitely be appropriate and cheaper.
For example, if there is an event held in Ye Ming's hometown, and a big star needs to be invited back, if Ye Ming comes forward to invite it, then he will pay an appropriate fee, and this matter will be considered a fool.
But in fact, no matter what it is, the entertainment industry today is a very impetuous entertainment industry.
At this point, some conscientious and responsible seniors in the entertainment industry feel very sad.
Uncle Dao Ming also followed up and said: "Yes, look at the young actors nowadays. They fall and get injured while filming. I wish that everyone in the world would know how wronged these young actors are.
Wearing single clothes while filming in the middle of winter has become a hot topic in the news? Come on, you are an actor. Wearing summer clothes in winter and winter clothes in summer is not a very normal thing for an actor.
?
This is the job of an actor. What's there to show off at this time? There are also some people who don't read the script at all, just read the numbers directly and dub them later. You say this kind of actor, are you an actor?
What should you do if you ask the actors who are opposite you? Do you mean to ask them to read the numbers along with you? Anyway, some things in the entertainment industry nowadays are quite disdainful.
I think it’s not a big deal to straighten things out now. This is not just based on this incident as a starting point to let everyone understand that filming is your job, and if you do your job well, there is nothing worth showing off."
Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said with a disapproving look: "The wind is so strong, let's do it first. What I mean is to give it a try. I can't say what the specific effect will be."
This is Ye Ming's attitude, and it is still the same. There is no problem in doing it, but he cannot guarantee the specifics. This is because Ye Ming believes that the general trend in the entertainment industry has actually begun to change as it is now, so in the future
It would be even worse. Later, the cutout girl and so on took tens of millions of dollars in salary and felt at ease.
Therefore, Ye Ming has no hope for this.
It's just like the five-yuan movie tickets back then. I can't say it's not good, but the situation is wrong. Teacher Zhao Guoqing really came up with the five-yuan movie tickets so that people can afford to watch movies.
But it was inappropriate to target the entire environment at that time. Therefore, it was actually doomed to fail and be forgotten.
Therefore, at a time like this, some changes may not be as simple as we take them for granted.
Ye Ming thought for a while and then said: "By the way, you came to this party for this reason, right? If you are here just for Sun Li's lawsuit, there is no need for you, Mr. Chen, to have such a thing."
Party?"
Uncle Dao Ming thought for a while and then said: "Actually, on the one hand, it is for this. This matter also needs your support and everyone's support. The more people support it, then we will succeed on such an issue.
The greater the hope. Another point is the issue of equal pay for equal work.
This point was mentioned once by people in the entertainment industry a few years ago, but in the end it was met with loud thunder and little rain. This time, I wonder if I should mention it again.
Nowadays, some people in our entertainment industry basically cannot be considered to have equal pay for equal work. They are both actors, and their acting skills and reputations are not much different, but the salary in Hong Kong is higher, while the salary for mainland artists is lower. This has been the case from the beginning.
This is still the case. In the past, our box office was not that high, so it may not be appropriate to mention it. Now that the box office in the Mainland is also developing rapidly, I think we should mention it."
Faced with such a thing, Ye Ming pondered for a moment, and then said: "As for Teacher Chen, I am not saying that it is a bit thankless for my efforts. This kind of thing is actually determined by the market, right?
It’s not that we can decide by just shouting a few slogans and talking about equal pay for equal work. You say that the variety of actors in the Mainland is not high enough. Damn it, it is determined by the relationship between supply and demand. As the box office of our Mainland movies is increasing,
If it is high, then the box office of mainland movie actors will definitely be higher and higher. Do you believe that in the near future, the salary of mainland actors will definitely be so high that it will surprise you. The salary of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists is slightly
Now it's a little higher.
But in the near future, when our mainland box office market booms, the salaries of mainland actors will definitely rise.
By then, those people just now should be the ones who envy us. Not to mention movie actors, even actors in TV series can earn hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars for a movie. Let’s take a look at it then.
, I feel that actors’ pay should be lowered, instead of talking about equal pay for equal work.”
Uncle Dao Ming didn't say anything in such a situation, but Feng Xiaogang interjected: "Yi Zi, aren't you talking nonsense? The actors in the TV series, the salary for one movie, it costs hundreds of thousands or millions to rob a bank in Egypt.
How could you?
If that's the case, doesn't it mean he can't take away tens of millions if there are millions in one episode? Is it normal to have two to thirty million?
Just tell me, investing 30 million in a movie now is considered a big investment, right?
If you say that an actor in a TV series can earn tens of millions per movie, this is almost impossible."
But Ye Ming said very seriously: "Director Feng, under such circumstances, don't believe that it was determined by market relations.
Then you old-timers won’t think that our mainland actors’ salaries are low. The salary for a movie is tens of millions, and the salary for an actor in a TV series is tens of millions. These are all normal things for the right actors.
.
Of course, the kind of titles I'm talking about are basically the most popular actors. They are the top-notch actors in movies and TV series. There is a market for them.
So it's normal for people to have high salaries. When the time comes, you won't think that mainland film and television actors have low box office and low pay. By then, I guess you old-timers will try your best to educate those young actors.
Got paid.
This is a paradox. Nowadays, the salary of mainland actors is relatively low, but that is temporary. When our market develops, our titles will be so high that it will scare you.
I estimate that you will not accept this situation at that time, at least not in a short period of time, so it makes no sense for him to mention this now. These are all determined by the supply and demand relationship in the market.
You said that if you invite more than a dozen celebrities to a party, of course the performance company and the performer want to make money, right?
The invited singer must rely on his new fame to sell tickets. If the singer cannot sell tickets based on his fame, then what kind of performance will he do?
People also want to make money, right? Therefore, they must find celebrities and singers who can attract people and have traffic. Only in this way can they make money. If they find some that are not famous and cannot attract audiences, people will not buy them at all.
Tickets, how much money does that eye makeup make, and what is this concert going to do?
It's simply impossible to do it, right?
Therefore, these proposals to provide equal pay for equal work are unnecessary. I think it is not necessary at least for the time being.
The entertainment industry is actually determined by the relationship between supply and demand. This is basically the case. In fact, whether a singer is popular depends on whether he can make money by performing his own concerts. If he can make money, he is relatively popular.
If a singer cannot make money, he or she is basically a washed-up singer or a newcomer.
Later, there was a relatively popular singer who released a relatively popular song, My Skateboard Shoes, which was also a hit at the time. As a result, he held a concert, and oh, it was really miserable. Three or four audiences came.
There were seven security guards, and two security guards watched each audience member to prevent the audience from running away.
Such a situation actually means that the market positioning is not accurate. If an Internet celebrity singer like this goes to parties and performs on his own, and goes to parties with some small singers, etc. on the Internet, and participates in commercial performances to make money on his own,
I dare not say that I will make a lot of money, but at least I will make a lot of money so that I can live a comfortable life. This is no problem.
But he said that if I couldn't see myself clearly, it would be inappropriate if I had to hold a casino concert or something like that. There was also an old singer from Baodao. Anyway, you are a singer-songwriter, so I can't say that I was.
Lao Huang is a singer-songwriter, but a lyricist.
This guy Lao Huang actually wanted to hold a solo concert in the Bird's Nest. In fact, he overestimated his appeal and ended up losing money. His wife even sold her house so that he could pay off the debt.
This is a bloody lesson. Therefore, whether a singer is Zhang Hong and whether he is popular depends on whether his concerts can make money. If he can make money, he is a popular singer. If he cannot make money,
Basically, you have to recognize yourself and walk on your own. It doesn't matter if you compete with other singers. You can still make money. Although you can't make a lot of money, you can't treat yourself badly.
Feng Xiaogang also said from the side: "Old Chen, in fact, you told me about this, and I also told you that there is no chance, you know? What is the relationship between supply and demand? The market determines everything, right?
Just like when I photographed Party A and Party B, how many people didn’t like it, but in the end I made money, right?
Of course, if I don’t make money, I’ll go back and just be my artist. But if I make money, I’ll slowly start to shift to directing, right?
The market decides everything, what about you? If you can’t see it, you can’t see it, and I can’t see it either, but he can’t help it. For example, in my movie, what do you think determines which actors to hire?
Of course it's his market appeal. This excludes some human factors. With the market appeal, I will hire whoever is suitable for the role. These are actually the two conditions for me to choose actors.
What are you talking about about equal pay for equal work? I don’t know if this guy Ye Zi’s talk of tens of millions in future salary is nonsense. Maybe sometimes our movie box office will really start to get bigger. By then, the salary of our mainland movies, TV series
Actors' salaries may really be as great as Ye Zi said, but who knows.
Looking at it now, don’t worry about it. In fact, you are going against the will of heaven and it is impossible to achieve it. Your first question has already offended people, and the second question will basically offend more people.
.
I advise you not to do that."
As for Feng Xiaogang, sometimes he is relatively good and can understand the market. In fact, sometimes he uses the little fresh meat that he opposes to what Ye Ming said, and Xiaohua's salary will get higher and higher.
However, when what Ye Ming said was very reasonable, Feng Xiaogang was able to accept it, at least no longer firmly opposed to Ye Ming's statement. This is also rare. A person who can reach his status in the entertainment industry is definitely not
