Chapter 285 Return to China

The strength of the US trade union is well known. Since the US government cannot use taxpayers' money to set cases such as "How to determine script plagiarism, how to determine screenwriters' stratification, how to determine whether actors play big names when filming," and so on, so once the case is filed with court, the union's hard regulations will become law. For example, in American movies, the screenwriter's signature will not exceed three, because the screenwriter is divided into box office, and only screenwriters who have created more than 30% of the creation have the right to sign, because a script cannot have 120% of the creation. Then, should the director modify the script sign be signed by the screenwriter's union, and whether he can get this stratification, just look at the meeting minutes submitted to the screenwriter's union after the filming of the film is completed, and the shooting situation of the scene record. These judgments have been implemented by the screenwriter's union. In this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that the provisions of the trade union are legal.

The union that also has great power is the producers' meeting, the American Actors' Union, and the American Television and Radio Actors' Federation. Some of the income of the people under these three major unions will be taken away by the union after their work is over. Although this number is not large, it can ensure that the union makes up for the losses of the artists' losses when manipulating the strike. In 2008, the couple of the American Actors' Union and the producers' meeting caused a strike that shocked the world. At that time, Shao Yingxiong was still thinking that the actors' losses on strike were quite large. The daily income of the actors named was astronomical. How dare they spread the money into the sea? What's more, the producers offended?

In fact, all this is because the Actors Union gave compensation to the actors participating in the strike. In order to confront the producers, the Actors Union in Hollywood did not hesitate to protest in such a near-breaking manner, which shows its authority in the minds of the actors. Reagan is the president of the Actors Union who was born as the president of the Actors Union. It is not an exaggeration to say that the President of the Actors Union is the emperor of the Hollywood actor industry.

According to statistics from the Hollywood Actors Union, no more than 5% of their 120,000 members earn more than $100,000 per year. The Hollywood Actors Union pays for a strike even though it is also an astronomical figure, but more often they only pay for the lower-level actors who earn less than $50,000 or $30,000 per year.

This is why actors listen to the union and do not listen to the government and producers. The main reason why Detroit, the city of automobiles, went bankrupt in the future, isn’t the union raising wages with the big bosses with the money paid by workers? The US union will also become arrogant and conceited after its power is great, and finally it will be a situation of dispersal.

When listening to Harry Sloan talk about these, Shao Yingxiong asked curiously: "What is the proportion of Chinese in the Actors' Union?"

Harry Sloan said: "Forget it, but I have the documents counted by the Hollywood actors. You wait and I'll find them for you."

In a moment, Harry Sloan found the document. It clearly marked the proportion of each race in the Hollywood union. Sure enough, the United States is a society that speaks by data.

Shao Yingxiong was shocked when he looked at the data. There were not many people in the United States who were tracking the movie plate. The Hollywood Actors Union had only 53,000 actors, and the remaining number belonged to the Federation of TV and Radio Actors. Even among the 53,000 people, only 11,900 were from black and yellow people, among which the highest proportion were African-Actors...

Immigration from other countries such as South Korea and India, but the actual number of registered people is only about 700. Most of these 700 people are at the bottom of Hollywood and live a life of playing supporting roles, and they cannot make any important roles. Among these people, except for Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Liu Yuling, the majority of them will not earn more than US$30,000 in annual income.

Most of the time, they can only make guest appearances in various American dramas, such as Zhou Xun's husband, otherwise why did Mr. Zhou take on his job endlessly? The one who was on the edge was to ask many directors to take care of him, rather than always having thanks and tenderness on his lips when he was with Li Daqi?

This time, Shao Yingxiong understood that in all the worlds, as long as there is a place called the entertainment circle, there is a pyramid. The people on the top are eating wildly and eating braised vegetables at the bottom. The middle class lives a little rich in food and clothing but cannot compare with the middle class in other industries. This is also the reason for the deformity of this industry, because it allows various events that exceed the bottom line to occur. With these events, there will be some hype, and this is a mess.

After watching all this, Shao Yingxiong also listened to Harry Sloan's analysis and added his own thoughts, he asked back: "Are they a little bit far away from contacting me? Instead of integrating their own strength, they merged the Actors Union and the Federation of TV and Radio Actors to strengthen themselves, and prayed for external forces when they came up, which was not in line with the American principle of service."

He also understood that his identity could not be hidden for long in the United States. As long as someone investigated the background of Chairman MGM, Zhongying would definitely surface like a giant. At that time, in the eyes of outsiders, they saw no longer Shao Yingxiong, but a man with bright red flags floating behind him. This man is likely to represent a special meaning.

The key is that the actors will want to send actors to China. It is not reliable at all. Actors who go to China are different from models who go to China. The model industry has basically been occupied by Russian women who are outstanding in their youth and turn into bucket-waisted aunts when they are old. What can actors play in China? The mainstream of the film and television industry in China is definitely still Chinese. Even if there are too many anti-Japanese dramas, ghost-zi began to have a platform to enter the Chinese entertainment industry. That is only in the anti-Japanese drama sector. The two or three ghost-zi who became famous are just in the circle. It is quite embarrassing to let the audience call their names directly.

This is completely unreliable.

It also shows that Harry Sloan's analysis is very reasonable, probably because he wanted to use himself as a bridge.

For the US Trade Union, who can open up overseas markets when the Producers Association and the US Actors Union are constantly fighting openly and secretly in 2008 will become more transcendent in Hollywood and have stronger dominance. This is their purpose.

After Shao Yingxiong and Harry Sloan talked, he called the third master when there was no one in the office and explained everything on the phone.

The third master took the phone and said, "See, but don't agree to anything, don't refuse..."

This is to wait for someone to play the game, and the third master wants to take action.

"Shao, this is not something I can decide. Have you finished your work in Hollywood? If you finish your work, wouldn't you say you would come back to rest for a while a while to improve your acting skills? I thought about it. It's right for young people to be motivated. You will come back after the meeting with the actors. At that time, you will act in your drama. Anyway, you will have a movie in China to promote it. Do domestic movie fans have not seen you for a long time. In addition, your hero Hua Yi has a lot of things. You cannot handle it. Do you have to comfort your family for a while? "

When Shao Yingxiong heard this, he meant: "San Master, did you let me hide?"

"Why are you saying so badly? You are also a human being. If you are a human being, you have a home. What's wrong with going home? You don't know what the hell will do with American actors, let alone they can't ask for someone as soon as they meet, right? Besides, I can't settle some things alone. Come back first, I'm talking about them."

The third master hung up the phone. Shao Yingxiong squinted his eyes and felt that this was a bit messy.

Hollywood movies have entered China, but we have big shots. They drink so much. That's it. Isn't it equivalent to making a lot of money by limiting the number of movies introduced?

Shao Yingxiong was a little confused about this problem. After thinking about it for a long time in the office, he looked at the traffic flowing under the entire high-rise building and then he understood it vaguely!

It turns out that everything domestic radio, television, film, Zhongying and China are just protecting our own movies!

People in this circle in China know one thing, that is, in the past ten years, we have been on the small screen with the pace of getting rid of Hong Kong and Taiwan routines. Everyone is tired of watching the routine dramas of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and we have our own things that are right. Later, the film market also began to leave Hong Kong and Taiwan. Under the leadership of a group of filmmakers such as Feng Xiaogang, the film industry finally had our own original things. At this time, we can say that our things finally had a day to make a comeback.

But what are we facing at this time? It is the large-scale intrusion of Qiong Yao dramas, TVB dramas, Baodao idol dramas, American dramas, and Korean dramas. Many of these things are not introduced, but come in from unofficial channels. Once there are too many of these things, imitation will inevitably become a trend, because people like to watch them, then assimilation will appear.

Following the trend is a trend in this circle. If anyone follows the trend, he will make money every time. Who has enough money? He makes money without effort and brains. There are so many American and Korean dramas that are hot, who can’t grab money? At that time, our own things will be gone! Then the road of these ten years will be completely in vain!

Maybe there will be a day to take off Korean and American TV series!

This is a congestion. It is better not to let them in if they expect to waste their efforts.

Shao Yingxiong sighed, feeling quite helpless about this. Even if you are blocked, at least you are blocked completely, right? Are you talking about how to block the Internet society now? It is better to be so obvious than to lose it... Shao Yingxiong felt that he really wanted to stand up and speak without a pain in his back. He would not be confused about such a simple principle. If he did this, he would definitely not know the reason. Forget it, he would not do anything about his own affairs. If he did not do it, he would return to China. If he did not say less, he would not take care of it.

The next day, Shao Yingxiong met with the representative of the American Actors Union. After polite greetings, the media asked for any request, but only understood and contacted major performing arts companies to conduct the most basic investigation. If there are any people from the Actors Union who violated the regulations while filming at MGM, and if there are any actors who do not cooperate, you can complain. The Actors Union is the most severe and can punish fines and banned acting.

Why did Shao Yingxiong feel so familiar when he heard this? Isn’t this the legendary ban? Together, you Americans also play this game?

While he agreed casually and praised him, he saw that the American Actors Union was not very natural and seemed to have nothing to say when he spoke. After a few serious topics, he actually talked about the movie with Shao Yingxiong. Isn't this nonsense? It's not like this to have a relationship.

When he finally got through this meeting, Harry Sloan laughed wildly next to him, and the laughter made people feel scared.

"Old Harry, why are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at a group of idiots who staged a scene where I don't know where to start. If I were a member of the actors, if I wanted to win over you at this time, I would definitely give you some awards, and I would have to do some performance awards. I don't tell you that this is what you put in your hand under the shady curtain and let you think about it yourself. People as smart as you always have a day to figure it out, and when you figure it out, you can only thank them. Now, when you see these guys, you're just like guarding thieves, you're afraid that they will design a complete set for you to drill, which is thankless."

Shao Yingxiong glared at Old Harry and asked jokingly: "It's a good thing that you are not my enemy."

"I don't want to be your enemy. You can think of any tricks in your mind."

Before leaving the United States, Shao Yingxiong went to the crew of "007". Jude Law and Nolan were in the process of running-in. Every time they filmed a scene, they had to communicate for a long time before. Shao Yingxiong watched the crew without saying anything, allowing the two to perform after the exchange. From the perspective of effect, Nolan is really a good director. Every point is very accurate. When to confuse the audience and when to show attracting points, the details may be flawed, but within the overall storyline, the control is very rigorous.

After leaving the crew of "007", Shao Yingxiong took a day off and went to see Stallone and asked about the promotion date and other matters. At that time, Stallone was wondering, isn't Shao Yingxiong not working in Hollywood at the moment? "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" rumored that he wanted to invite the MGM chairman to act. Could this kid not take on such A-level films? Is he going to leave Hollywood?

Shao Yingxiong had no way to explain, so he quickly left after the chat ended.

Can he say that the higher-ups let him hide?

Even if you kill this, you can't say it, so Shao Yingxiong did not give any answer to Stallone's confusing gaze.
