Cosma Empire

"Du Lin was kicked out?" Nasha couldn't help asking after hearing this. Since Du Lin told her the truth, she has become a lot more cheerful, with occasional smiles on her face. It's just that she didn't expect Du Lin to be kicked out by her partner, which made Nasha feel a little confused. This guy is definitely not a good person. Nasha has confirmed this. If they can kill Morris, they can kill others.

But it was such a person who was stabbed in the back by his partner and kicked out. Didn't he have any remedial measures, or revenge?

But really no, Du Lin stayed at his home obediently, and did not run around all day long. Except for the occasional visit to the filming site, he almost cut off all commercial activities. This made Nasha's teeth itch a little. She was planning to take a good breath for herself during the negotiations at the end of the month and take revenge on that bastard Du Lin. She didn't expect it to be impossible? !

Ms. Chris has sent the news of what happened here back to the Imperial Capital. John was very happy when he learned about it. This shows that it is necessary and the right choice for Nasha to go to Illian to relax. The only old man who is a little upset is Nasha. The change in his mood is most likely related to that countryman named Du Lin, which is the last thing the old man wants to see.

As the first member of the third generation of the George family, Nasha plays a pivotal role. At a young age, her words and deeds may be the weathervane of the middle management cadres of the enterprise. Her emotions are no longer her own business, but a channel for the family to communicate with the outside world. On a bigger scale, Nasha, who is extremely important, is definitely the best candidate for a marriage, no matter who she chooses or even marrying the royal family, there is no problem.

But she might like a poor countryman. Mr. John could only sulk in his heart, and said that Chris did a good job on this task.

"Where is Du Lin now?" Nasha quickly changed his mind. Since he couldn't avenge "One Finger" fiercely at the negotiating table, he could still do it seeing his failed expression. Chris immediately told her about Du Lin's movements. If there is no accident at this time, Du Lin should visit the filming scene. He now goes there almost every day. Some people say that he is pursuing Frena, and some people say that he uses this method to cover up his failure. No matter what people outside say, Du Lin has to go there once a day.

Nasha changed into a smart set of clothes, grabbed a handbag and went out. When she got into the car, she suddenly asked, "Is Du Lin really pursuing that woman, Frena? She is so much older than Du Lin. many!"

The slightly contemptuous tone made Chris's heart thump, come here come, Miss really likes Du Lin, right? She supported the legs of her glasses and lifted them up to hide the panic in her eyes, "This...Miss, these actresses are very good at dressing up, they can make themselves look several years younger than their actual age, and I heard that Fu Ms. Leina and Du Lin both came from the same place, so it is inevitable that there will be a kind of affection among fellow villagers, and it is actually understandable if feelings develop."

Nasha chuckled a few times,

Leaning at Chris, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Chris lowered her head slightly and remained silent. She knew she couldn't speak anymore.

At this time, Du Lin was discussing with the director about shooting issues. Once the TV station was established, a large number of programs would be needed to attract everyone's attention. There is no doubt that as long as Du Lin successfully fires the first shot, many imitators will appear immediately. At that time, there will be competition, but Du Lin is not very worried. When it comes to TV programs, no one knows this industry better than him. He has hundreds of years of "advanced" concepts and materials!

"I heard from my colleagues that the tape specifications of the player are different from the tapes we use for shooting movies. They are thinner and narrower, and the material has also changed. It may be more delicate than the picture seen in the cinema." The director took the trouble. I chatted with Du Lin about these things during the shooting interval, "Moreover, there is no special video equipment for the tape of the player. Now the tape is converted from a large tape to a small tape. There is an extra process, and the cost is even higher. Taller."

"In short, it costs about 22 yuan to copy a tape reel suitable for playing on a player. If it can be produced in large quantities, the cost may be reduced. What? Is Mr. Du Lin planning to convert this movie into a different format? It can also be played on those players? This is a good idea. Watching a movie in a movie theater is not as comfortable as watching a movie at home?" Obviously, the director misunderstood Du Lin's meaning, and Du Lin didn't explain it, so it was acquiescence.

If a piece of adhesive tape costs 20 yuan to reduce the cost and is not a clerical error, then the transportation from Irian to other places will cost 1 yuan less and 3 yuan more, and it will cost at least 25 yuan to the customer. The cost was much higher than he had expected. He thought it would only cost a dozen yuan, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. A roll of tape a week costs 100 yuan a month. This will obviously make some middle-class families afford TV but can’t watch TV. This is not what he wants. It seems that one issue per week can only be adjusted to one period every ten days. Or half a month. At the same time, it is also necessary to hire some experts to carry out targeted research and improvement, reduce unnecessary processes and reduce costs. If the cost of tape can be suppressed within ten yuan, he has the final say in this industry.

"If I need some scripts and some actors to shoot some musicals, who should I turn to?" Du Lin took a cigarette and handed it to the director. The director received it with a smile and did not forget to thank Du Lin.

He sniffed the unique smell of cigarettes before stuffing it into his mouth, "Thank you, actually you can find everything you need from the Actors Guild. Some screenwriters and directors have also joined the Actors Guild, they should be called the Film Guild!"

When the actor's guild was born, it was very powerful, and soon the cheap actors on the market disappeared. The chairman of the actor's guild referred to the rules and regulations of the workers' union, and formulated a series of standards that members must abide by. Among them, there are also very strict standards on remuneration, which once brought the producers and the actor's guild to the extreme of struggle. But the struggle was over in less than a week, because they couldn't find anyone willing to do supporting roles and extras.

In the face of enormous pressure, the producer finally agreed to the Actors Guild’s standards for remuneration. The remuneration for extras should not be less than one percent of the leading actor’s remuneration, and the supporting role’s remuneration should not be lower than one-fortieth of the leading actor’s remuneration. . This standard was quickly embraced by all the lower and middle actors, and it was to their advantage.

In the process, some actors themselves also created some scripts, and some directors who failed to transform, all found their own living space in the actor's guild. A large number of low-level screenwriters and small directors have also assigned themselves the status of an actor to join the actor's guild, which can be regarded as finding a guarantee for themselves. As for why they didn't join the directors' guild or the screenwriters' guild... that's actually another question.

Seeing that the actor's guild was looming a threat to the producers, those tycoons immediately established the director's guild, screenwriter's guild, and producer's union, not wanting the actors' guild to be the only one. However, it was their overly anxious actions that forced the director and screenwriter to the actor's guild. Now if the entire film industry does not have the name of an actor, they are ashamed to go out and introduce themselves as a director or screenwriter.

It is said that the chairman of the actor's guild claimed that the actor's guild will independently establish a director's branch and a screenwriter's branch to satisfy everyone's growing enthusiasm.

Whether you want a script or a director, as long as you contact them, you can definitely buy it. Now the tycoons in the film industry have nothing to do with this group of people for the time being. It seems that the actor union is about to dominate.

However, it is impossible!

After listening to the director's narration, Du Lin knew that it was absolutely impossible. The formation of any trust has the first element, that is, everyone must abide by his rules. For example, the Newspaper Trust of the George family, because he has three feature syndicates in his hands, monopolizing the press releases of the entire empire. You don't have to follow his rules of the game, you don't have to let him buy shares or even buy news from him.

So what do you report? Will there still be sales if you only report the same things in the city? To survive and prosper, you have to get the George family a stake and buy their press releases.

Another example is the steel tycoon, why not the trust of the steel industry? Because the entire empire is full of steel mills, these steel mills buy ore from the country, buy ore from abroad, as long as there is ore, they can smelt steel. As long as the steel is smelted, there is no need to worry about sales. No matter how powerful the steel tycoon is, he can't stop all the steel factories in the entire empire from making steel for profit, and it is impossible to stop those merchants from buying steel ingots all over the world in order to buy a little cheaper. .

So no matter how powerful he is, he is just a tycoon, not a trust.

The same is true for the Actors Guild. It seems that the momentum is amazing in a short period of time, but after this painful period passes, they will know what regret is. Now those movies that are pitching can't be stopped, so they take advantage. When these films are finished, that is when the Actors Guild will face a decision.

To put it bluntly, an actor is a person who has studied acting. People are everywhere. As long as there are enough temptations, you can find people with enough talent and ability to participate in this industry. After these people have been individually trained by the company, they will inevitably replace the actors in the actor's guild. They didn't realize what a stupid thing they had done until they had nothing to eat.

If you can't control the source and formulate rules, there will be no monopoly!
