Chapter 574: An Opportunity to Leverage the Rules of the Film and Television Industry

An open space on the outskirts of Detroit. Usually, there are basically no people here, but today is an exception.

Xu Ang's convoy stopped here, this is his solo action after being separated from Thompson Jr.

"Such a good land is actually deserted, Lao Mei is too reckless, if it were left in our hometown, it would have been planted."

Li Ke looked out of the car. Like the rest of the team, he was very curious about Xu Ang's land. You must know that Xu Ang wants to spend money to buy all the land that can be seen here, and build a manor for Xu Ang to have a place to stay in the city of cars.

No one would doubt the vision of his boss, because that was the prestige that Xu Ang had successfully built up time and time again.

To put it simply, Xu Ang's personality in Li Ke's mind is a genius with sharp vision.

May I ask, is there anything special about the land that such a genius favors?

Regardless of whether other people believe it or not, Li Ke does not believe it anyway.

As one of the first people who followed Xu Ang, Li Ke knew his boss far better than others.

Little Thompson only thought that Xu Ang had randomly chosen a suitable place in terms of distance, and he couldn't find fault with the reasons Xu Ang said, so he felt that Xu Ang really thought so.

However, Li Ke didn't think so.

On the contrary, the more casual Xu Ang looked, and the more he found no flaws in the reasons, the more Li Ke thought the matter was unusual.

Otherwise, why did Xu Ang explain something that could be settled in one sentence?

Even Xu Ang himself didn't know that he did a little too much, and those who knew him saw his flaws.

Of course, this is harmless and will not affect the outcome of the matter.

Even because of Li Ke's appearance of being interested in the wasteland outside, Xu Ang discovered the mistake he had made, and Xu Ang secretly reminded himself that he would never make the same mistake again in the future .

"Laomei has a vast land and few people. Their land area is about the same size as ours, but how many people are they, and how many people are we? Every share of our land has to be used, but they have room to waste. Think about it It's also annoying."

Xu Ang looked at the land dotted with green outside the car window, and compared the location of the treasure marked on the treasure map in his heart, he was able to talk to Li Ke and the others.

To say that green has no special meaning here.

Green represents health, hope, and life.

Green is a color of positive energy.

So Lao Mei prefers green, just like Chinese people prefer red.

After all, the national conditions are different, and the customs are also different. In China, green is not only the color of love, it may also be the old king next door, so the Chinese people really do not like green as much as other people's beauty.

American:"???"

something is wrong with you.

The three little sisters lay on the window of the car and looked outside. They didn't know what the elder brother brought them here for.

"hide and seek?"

Xiaoxiao asked her brother.

Xu Ang shook his head: "It's not hide and seek, my brother bought all this land and used it to build a house."

After getting the answer, the three little sisters chatted together, and then opened their small bags together, took out the tools for building the house from inside, and said to Xu Ang in unison: : "My sister helped my brother build a house."

Looking at the toy shovels, toy hoes, and toy kegs in the hands of the little sisters, Xu Ang wanted to ask, "What kind of mess are you putting in your bags?"

Not getting a positive answer from their elder brother, the three little sisters were so angry that they ignored their elder brother.

They even took out the tools, but the elder brother didn't agree, did he look down on the younger sister?

Building a house is so fun, the elder brother won't let the younger sister participate in it, cheapskate, drink cold water.

Those who would say that Xu Ang was stingy would be able to understand the three puppies. No one would say that Xu Ang was stingy, but they would say that Xu Ang was arrogant.

For example, the mainland actors who participated in "Infernal Affairs", who dare to say that Xu Ang is stingy, who are they in a hurry with.

"In the past, we filmed with them, and we had the same number of roles. No one had better food, no one was treated better, and the salary we got was even a fraction of theirs." Uncle Daoming took the script and walked to Xu Ang during the break, I was very emotional, "It's better to join Xiaoxiao Media, the work is not aggrieved, it's worth it."

Is it worth it?

Everyone can see how the mainland film and television professionals were treated before Xu Ang appeared, and how everyone was treated after he established Xiaoxiao Media.

Don't think that the cooperation with Long Wu of Hong Kong Island to make "Infernal Affairs" is just as simple as co-production of a movie, and don't think that the cooperation between Xiaoxiao Media and Long Wu this time is purely for political correctness, Xu Ang will not act So simple.

In this cooperation, he raised the treatment of mainland film and television professionals to the same standard as his counterparts in Hong Kong Island. On the surface, he treats everyone equally, does not bully anyone and does not allow anyone to bully. Superficial people will think that Xu Ang is the cost of the film. It was raised, it was an act of spending money to save face, but anyone who really hangs around in the film and television industry can understand what kind of impact he will have by doing so.

"The whole industry in the mainland is watching us, we can't mess things up."

This is what Uncle Daoming said to his company colleagues including Zhao Xiaodai and Yang Xiaomi before he came.

Young artists may not understand the significance of this incident, and they may not be able to see through Xu Ang's thoughts, but old people in the circle like Uncle Daoming are different.

"As long as we don't lose the chain of this movie, the treatment of mainland film and television professionals will be inevitable in the future."

get improved. We will no longer work harder, suffer more anger, and get paid even less than a fraction of a person's income. "

Uncle Daoming explained the secret with one word, and let Zhao Xiaodai and others who were still ignorant know the mystery.

Mainland film and television professionals with the largest market, the most employees, and the best prospects in the three places on both sides of the strait pay more, but they belong to the side that is ruthlessly squeezed and suppressed by the capital of Hong Kong Island and Dawan Bay. This cannot be justified anyway.

In the past, no one from the mainland went to fight with Hong Kong and Taiwan capital, and the artists could only bear it even if they felt aggrieved.

Now there is Xu Ang who can compete with Hong Kong Island and Dawan Capital, and Xiaoxiao Media who does not bow to Hong Kong and Taiwan capital, and the backs of mainland film and television professionals. At least the artists of Xiaoxiao Media are much more assertive.

However, this is not enough.

Wanting to change the rules in the industry requires an opportunity. The filming of "Infernal Affairs" and Xu Ang's practice of treating film and television professionals from Hong Kong Island and mainland China equally are the opportunities that everyone has been waiting for.

This time, if Uncle Daoming and the others work hard, the filming of "Infernal Affairs" will not fail. After "Infernal Affairs" is released, as long as the box office is strong, there will be a reason to leverage certain rules in the industry. Uncle Daoming said that colleagues in the mainland are watching them, and this is also why.

If you miss this opportunity, you may not really have to wait for the little fresh meat surnamed Ke in "Monster Hunt" like the original time and space. The crew had no choice but to let Jing Boran be the male lead. This made many people realize: it turns out that mainland actors can also make movies that sell well at the box office.

Afterwards, mainland artists really had a chance to make their mark, and the Hong Kong circle and the Bay Area gradually lost their market.
