Chapter 457 Level
In early July, Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang drove to the Capital Airport, and Li An came from Xiangjiang.
"Is this twenty-five percent too high?" Feng Xiaogang said worriedly.
"This is the capped proportion. With this proportion, they will not feel that 10% is high." Lin Zixuan responded.
"We originally wanted to make a movie when we opened a company, but we didn't expect to become an exploiting capitalist." Feng Xiaogang sighed.
The two talked about the establishment of the brokerage department of Haomeng Company.
In the past, an actor would only be appointed as an assistant after he became famous. There was no long-term plan, everyone had a good relationship and was not at a clear level.
Hollywood agency companies are very professional, and they will divide the actors and directors into clear ranks and arrange services according to the rank.
A big Hollywood star will have a huge team to help him manage all the affairs, and new actors are often led by the same low-level agent along with other actors.
This is the level gap.
Lin Zixuan simply divides the actors in the company into first-tier, second-tier, third-tier and new actors to be trained.
New actors are currently unable to create value for the company, and the company also has to pay him a salary to ensure his daily life. Their main job is to play supporting roles in the crew and hone their acting skills.
The third-tier actors have acted in several TV series, but they have not left too much impression on the audience.
The second-tier actors have become familiar with the audience, but they have not become famous works and are half-red but not purple.
Front-line actors are recognized by the audience, have representative works and advertising endorsements, and can create considerable benefits for the company.
There are also super first-line actors on it, and currently only Ge You is at this level, but Ge You is the boss of the company and is not included.
The brokerage department of Good Dream Company will provide different services according to this division.
For example, front-line actors have special assistants, the company is equipped with vehicles, and have the right to prioritize the roles in the company's new dramas, regularly appear in newspapers and TV, and maintain popularity.
At the same time, the company will make a commission of 15% from the actors' income.
The commission for second- and third-tier actors is 10%, and new actors do not receive commission.
A high commission means a high status and high income, which is the same as national taxes. People with high income also have high personal income tax.
Besides, high commissions are due to high-quality services, and enjoying privileges requires corresponding price.
As for the commission mentioned at 25% is the standard for a top-tier actor.
The treatment of super first-line actors is that there will be a large-scale film every year, with advertising revenue of tens of millions every year, and you will receive dividends from the company at the end of the year, attend company meetings, and have the right to make suggestions.
There are too few super first-line actors in China, just a benchmark, and the actors in the company are encouraged to continue to work hard.
Sometimes, only by dividing levels can it be motivated, but it can also bring some problems.
After Xu Jinglei became popular, the media would report gossip about Haomeng Company, such as the dispute over the company's number one sister.
The earliest actor signed by Haomeng Company was Liu Bei. Liu Bei was well-known to the audience for "Party A and Party B". He then starred in many film and television dramas and performed well in "A Sigh".
She is a very stable actor, not only her acting state is stable, but her mentality is also stable.
Liu Bei, Lin Zixuan, Ge You and others are all good friends. This is a friendship that we got together in the early days. Everyone often gathers to have dinner, drinks tea and plays mahjong at home.
She is a veteran actor in Good Dream Company, so her status needs to be said.
However, Liu Bei has always been low-key and quietly acts her own drama. The media doesn’t pay much attention to it, and she doesn’t care much.
Later, Yu Feihong joined the Good Dream Company for her role in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival because of "Spring in Small Town". The media regarded Yu Feihong as the number one sister of Good Dream Company.
This is just a publicity stunt, and there is no such name within Haomeng Company.
Now Xu Jinglei has become an idol of young people and is in full swing.
The media is catching up with the strife, or imagined by themselves, reporting that the two quarreled with their roles and treated in the company, and fought for the position of the No. 1 sister.
This is entertainment gossip, and readers like to watch the news that actresses are fighting each other.
When reporters report, they use words like "guess" and "speak" and it is difficult to sue them.
In fact, not to mention that their relationship is good, even if they have an average relationship, they don’t have the time to quarrel. If they don’t even have this little cultivation, then the actor’s achievements will be limited.
Think about it, they all learn to perform, and controlling emotions is a compulsory course, so how can they get angry easily?
But such reports reflect a problem. With more actors in a film and television company, there will inevitably be situations of intrigue.
Especially after the levels are divided, the incentive effect is present, which may also lead to vicious competition.
At this time, there are not many contracted actors at Haomeng Company. This situation is not obvious and it will be difficult to say in the future.
Lin Zixuan has no good solution, so he can only create a relatively fair atmosphere while strengthening management.
Moreover, when choosing a contracted actor, morality must be strictly controlled, especially the comments of teachers in the school.
Lin Zixuan likes actors who know how to work hard, value feelings, and are responsible. Such actors are worth cultivating and can continue with the company, rather than leaving after becoming famous.
Between talent and morality, he will choose an actor with good moral character.
"You have a little high demand. Young actors nowadays are not like us. Who would be willing to be a supporting actor for a few years? They are determined to be famous and complain that they have no chance if they suffer a little. If they really give him a chance, can he act well?" Feng Xiaogang complained, "If you want me to say that you should suppress them for a few years and practice hard."
"Then you will be hated by them, saying that you will suppress the newcomers by relying on your qualifications." Lin Zixuan joked.
"You said it is true. We have just made a name for ourselves and are not qualified to suppress others. I am often suppressed by others. Who should I ask for to complain to?" Feng Xiaogang said speechlessly.
This is the truth. Although Haomeng Company has developed very quickly, it is only turbulent among domestic private film and television companies.
Compared with the upcoming Huaying Group and the big Hollywood film companies, it is not enough.
However, no one can tell what happened in the future. When they first set up a company, they only thought about being able to make movies, but now they have become capitalists who exploit actors and have to work with Li An to make movies.
"When we can suppress others at will, we will become a domineering person in the circle." Lin Zixuan joked.
"Forget it, everyone is calling for the landlords and bullies. I want to live a few more years." Feng Xiaogang shook his head and said.
The two of them were chatting and joking and arrived at the Capital Airport.
Li An came here in a low-key manner and did not notify the media. In two days, Haomeng Company and Li An will hold a press conference to announce the official launch of the shooting plan for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". (To be continued.)
