In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's three sons Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's brothers fought against each other, and the internal struggle continued.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to separate and annihilate them. Yuan Tan was destroyed. Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi fled to the Liaodong prefect Gongsun Kang to hide.

Cao Cao accepted the suggestion of a counselor Guo Jiazhi, but did not lead his army to trek to attack Liaodong. Instead, he waited for the change and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

Sure enough, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi later had an internal fight with Gongsun Kang for seizing power, and were beheaded by him and presented their heads with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao eliminated the enemy, pacified Liaodong, and consolidated his own rear without taking a bow and arrow.

The current situation in Hong Kong's film industry is similar to the Three Kingdoms period.

Jiahe, Xinyi City has a strong fortune, conquered the city and expanded greatly, and pursued those stars and directors for Cao Cao.

Film companies, theaters, and star directors are Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Gongsun Kang. They are small in wealth and have little strength and are united because of the heavy pressure from the outside world.

If Jiahe and Xinyi City suspend expansion, they will lose the heavy pressure from the outside world, and then the loose alliance composed of film companies, cinemas, stars and directors will inevitably disintegrate.

The reason is very simple. There is a dispute over interests between film companies, cinemas, stars, directors.

As a film company, of course I hope that the lower the director’s pay, the better, and the higher the share you get from the theater, the better.

As for celebrities and directors, of course, hope that their pay will be better; while theaters hope that they can earn a little more box office share.

The contradictions between them are already difficult to reconcile. Not to mention that the three parties are not a whole, but are composed of many individuals.

Each individual has his own demands.

For example, there are more than a dozen film companies, and each hopes to invite stars with box office appeal and hopes to show their own movies in popular schedules... In this way, competition is inevitable.

Who among celebrities and directors is unwilling to participate in the production of good movies? However, the number of good movies is limited after all. Therefore, with too many monks and too few porridges, it is inevitable that they will rob scripts, characters, and compete with each other.

In addition, the theaters are also composed of many small and medium-sized theater owners, and their competition is also fierce. Because a movie is limited by cost, the number of copies printed is limited.

However, those small and medium-sized theaters are as numerous as a big deal. When the new film is released, whoever releases first and whoever releases later will inevitably compete for it.

So the internal conflicts between them are also very fierce.

If Jiahe and Xinyi City try hard to put pressure on them and make them feel the crisis of survival, they will temporarily abandon their grudges, unite and unite to the outside world.

However, once Jiahe and Xinyi City suspend the suppression, they will lose external pressure and the internal strife between them will destroy their alliance.

Then take the opportunity to separate and annihilate them, and you can capture them all in one place.

This is the suggestion Guo Jia gave to Cao Cao, "If it is urgent, it will be stalemate, and if it is slow, then it will cause a struggle."

Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia are not fools. They were all realized by Xia Tian's slight trick.

"Oh, why didn't we think of this before?" Zou Wenhuai slapped his forehead and said.

Mai Jia also looked at Xia Tian admirably. He didn't expect that he was so smart and powerful at a young age.

"The two are confused by the authorities, and I am the bystander." Xia Tian smiled modestly, "In my opinion, the two have grown a lot recently. It is better to temporarily delay the expansion and consolidate the rear first to avoid indigestion and fire in the backyard."

"It makes sense." Mai Jia and Zou Wenhuai nodded.

They have waving their money these days, and have signed many people, and bought several cinemas.

But signing someone and buying a cinema does not mean that you can get along once and for all and you will be safe.

Now that the incident is so fierce outside, the people in the company will inevitably be affected. I am worried that after signing this long-term contract, I will sell myself as a slave.

Under this emotion, who still has the energy to work hard?

In addition, those cinemas that have been acquired may not be as consistent as they are, and they have to make some rectifications.

"Come on, drink tea, drink tea." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"please!"

"please!"

Mai Jia and Zou Wenhuai were given the guidance of Xia Tian, ​​and they were also enlightened. Victory was in sight, so naturally they felt better. They smiled and started drinking tea with Xia Tian.

...

"Mr. Mai, Mr. Zou, I have some immature suggestions. Whether you listen or not is all about you." Xia Tian put down the teacup and said with a smile.

"Mr. Xia, please speak!" Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia put down their teacups and listened attentively.

I just heard Xia Tian’s idea so good, but now neither of them dares to underestimate Xia Tian’s wisdom.

"I suggest that when you invest in filming, you will adopt the model of pay and dividends with your employees." Xia Tian smiled slightly.

"Money pay plus dividends?" Mai Jia and Zou Wenhuai were stunned, "Mr. Xia, is this system your company is now implementing?"

"Not bad." Xia Tian nodded, "Our company's pay is not high, but with the dividends, it can reach a huge amount of millions. So although our company signs long-term contracts, no star feels unhappy."

"That's true!" Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia both smiled and nodded.

Summer Tianxia Film Corporation implements long-term contracts, but after signing so many stars, they are not as embarrassed as they do.

"On the one hand, the increase in dividends of filming reduces the cost of filming.

No matter how big a star was before, even Cheng Long, it was only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. Now the second-tier stars are at this price, and the first-tier stars are even more than one million.

In this way, if there are three or four stars in a movie, the pay will be enough for a movie.

Of course, it is not a good thing for us to increase the pay of celebrities so quickly. But suppressing the pay of celebrities will probably also cause their rebound.

At that time, if you beat it and end, it will be a lose-lose ending. I'm right? "Xia Tian explained.

Mai Jia and Zou Wenhuai nodded.

They are producers, so of course they hope that the lower the pay for celebrities, the better. However, of course, celebrities are not willing to be bullied. If the pay is too low, they will stop acting directly, or they will act randomly at that time, which will make everyone die and make life difficult.

"If part of the pay is converted into dividends, it will solve the problems of both parties.

As the stars’ pay is reduced, the cost of filming is reduced.

The same funds were able to make two movies before, but now they can make three movies. The utilization rate of funds increased, so naturally it will make more money.

Moreover, when the cost is reduced, the risk is reduced, which is also beneficial to the film company.

When it comes to celebrity pay and dividends, it seems that they make less money, but it is different if they add dividends.

Movies nowadays make money, and these celebrities are not stupid. They know which one makes more money.

If they ask them to reduce their pay for dividends, they will definitely be happy.

Moreover, if celebrities participate in dividend distribution, they will be more attentive when shooting movies. Otherwise, the box office will be bleak and he will suffer losses himself.

Therefore, the bonus will be more than one hit. Do you think this is a good suggestion? "Xia Tian smiled.

When Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia heard this, they also nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Xia, you are still smart." Both of them sighed.

Why didn't they expect such a good system before?

"Oh, it's not that I'm smart. This system was not created by me, and Hollywood has already existed." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled.

"Then why no one was willing to do this before?" Zou Wenhuai asked in confusion.

"That's all Hong Kong filmmakers are too smart. They are serious filming and they try every means to avoid giving all the pay. If they change to a bonus, who can still hope that the dividend will be in time!" Xia Tian said with a lip.

Hong Kong film companies have the habit of arrears of pay. I won’t mention the bag companies. Most of them are scammers. Don’t expect to receive a full pay when filming for them.

Even the big company is not clean. Jiahe also owes a salary and never gives the dividends he promised. In the end, it ended up with disagreement and the host and the guest turned into enemies.

As the saying goes, people do not believe but do not stand! If a film company does not care about credibility, how can it win the trust of celebrities and directors?

Without the most basic trust, this system that is beneficial to both parties will naturally not be implemented.

Therefore, there are gains and losses. Some things that seem to be smart and take advantage of others are actually harmful to one's credibility and the gain is not worth the loss.

The reason why Hollywood can implement this system is that the law is perfect, which eliminates the possibility of film companies being cheated; the second is that the unions from all walks of life in Hollywood are strong and can uphold justice for celebrities, directors and screenwriters.

However, whether it is the union or the law, it is not something that can be intervened in the summer now.

The only thing he could do was to keep himself clean and set an example, and to persuade Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia to learn from him, to be a person who stands on the city gate and speaks with confidence.

Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia turned pale when they heard Xia Tian say this. To be honest, they had been owed the actors’ pay before. According to Xia Tian, ​​they were quite unkind.

"There were many small companies in Hong Kong before, and there was no credibility at all. It hurt everyone's hearts and made the environment in the Hong Kong film industry smell bad.

Nowadays, the only three of us are left in the Hong Kong film industry. The three of us have great wealth, so of course we don’t have to play those tricks. So I think this system should not be difficult to implement. "Xia Tianxiao said.

Although he knew that Jiahe and Xinyi City were also owed money, they are allies now. In front of them, of course they cannot blame him for his mistakes, they can only stop at the right time.

Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia are both smart and should not be difficult to make a choice.

It is because they are greedy for a moment and offended all their employees, and they will break up with each other; it is better to be kind and share the profits of their employees to achieve a win-win situation. I believe they will make their own choices.

Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia were originally a little worried because they had done some bad things, so they were determined to implement the strategy of pay and dividends, and the employees would not buy it.

After all, I have hurt others' hearts before, and it is not easy to win others' trust.
