directors-guild-of-ame Japanese Ca, American Film Directors Union, referred to as dga..

Ye Sumang never expected that this famous director union, which has been fighting with major Hollywood production companies, was just in such a small building full of "ancient charm".

However, Ye Sumang did not dare to underestimate this place. After all, James Cameron, Spielberg and other major directors also belong to this director union that seems to be down but is actually extremely huge.

"**oss, it's here. You'll go and help you handle all the business later." Saiwen invited Ye Sumang to a sofa to rest, and immediately walked towards the front desk.

While Saiwen was going to handle the business, Ye Sumang did not do it on the sofa, but was attracted by the work content of the director's union on an LED screen next to him.

"Safety issues, shooting time, as well as health insurance, pension, minimum salary..." Ye Sumang became more and more surprised the more he looked at it. The various things included were even stipulated that the director could not accept salary lower than the contract, otherwise it would be cleared by the union.

Although this is mainly because some of the interests of the association are on the director, looking at Linlin's articles about the director's protection interests, it seems a bit insignificant to the director's union.

However, the content here still made Ye Sumang frown slightly.

Because he suddenly discovered that the conflict between the production company and the director union was really true. Han Bing and Liehuo, and even spent a lot of money every year to apply for account checks of major production companies to ensure the director's profit. This "spirit" made Ye Sumang, the boss of the production company, feel extremely conflicted.

Ahem...

Just as Ye Sumang was still thinking about the pros and cons, a light cough recalled Ye Sumang's thoughts.

"**oss, this is Mr. David, one of the directors of the union. I heard that you are very interested in the director's union, so he came here to introduce you."

"Ye, the winner of the two best foreign language films, is also the youngest winner of this award. My name is David, the director of the Director's Union. I am very happy that you are interested in our union. Believe me, in our union, your work benefits will be the greatest..." David extended out enthusiastically and introduced it endlessly, but when he said that, he suddenly remembered the identity of the man opposite, and his mouth suddenly closed again.

Yes, he is the real controller of a famous Hollywood company. If you film for yourself, who else dares to undermine the interests of his boss?

Saiwen, who was standing beside him, couldn't help laughing, which made David's face even more awkward. Ye Sumang just smiled, and then he quickly saved David's siege.

"Wow, it sounds great. I have read a lot of content just now. This has indeed played a great role in protecting our directors. However, the membership fee is too expensive, and it costs more than 4,600 US dollars. I heard that the staff union only sells 380 US dollars a year."

"Hahaha, there is no way. The people in the Directors Association are much less than those in the Actors Association. Besides, there is one price and one protection, right?" David smiled and looked at Ye Sumang: "Don't mind having lunch together."

"Of course." Ye Sumang accepted happily, and did not forget Sain on the side. The group soon arrived at the director's union's restaurant.

Very simple American food, a simple steak and a fruit salad are all the contents of lunch. During this period, Ye Sumang also asked David for the responsibilities of the director union with David. As he listened more and more, Ye Sumang's distinction between the domestic director association and the Hollywood director union is becoming more and more obvious.

The biggest difference is the degree of execution of the contract.

If Ye Sumang, as a producer, wants to seek a director from a director union to film, then he must sign a contract with the director and the director union. Then, in order to ensure the execution of the contract, the director union will rule out whether special members come to the crew to supervise the producer or producer. They will spare no effort to deal with any contractual content.

This alone is very different from the domestic director association.

Although the domestic directors' association also has the obligation to protect the director, it actually does not have much right. Just like the last time, Ye Sumang just signed the name once and it was done. As for whether the subsequent directors have obtained their own rights, Ye Sumang doesn't know, and maybe even the China Directors' Association itself doesn't know.

One has paid the money and worked hard to do his best, and the other has become a purely contact between directors. The gap can be imagined.

"Ye, in fact, there are many directors from Oriental, but you are very different from them. I can't tell what the specific difference is, but you give me a special feeling." David wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and said with a smile.

The conversation just now gave him a new understanding of this overly young director and big capitalist who sat in front of him. He was not as young and frivolous as he imagined, nor was he arrogant, but approachable and even had great wisdom that could not be seen through.

This young man didn't talk much, but as long as he reads his words, he will definitely ask questions about the idea. David has not experienced this situation, but his partner is extraordinary. However, when he thinks about the identity of this oriental man, David is a little calmer. If there is no extraordinary, how could he create such a big family business?

"It's special." Ye Sumang shrugged, not caring about David's comments. Instead, he was more interested in this union. Ye Sumang was very interested in joining, but he still needed a change in the contract.

I mentioned my thoughts to David, which made the supervisor a little embarrassed.

"Ye, it's not that I don't want to agree. I think your proposal makes sense, but it's not something I can decide by myself. I'll also look back and discuss with the rest of the union. Look at what I think, I will answer you within a week."

"Of course, I look forward to the final result." Ye Sumang shook his hand with David with a smile.

In fact, with his own film company, Ye Sumang is likely to never help other film companies film in his life, and the director union is naturally dispensable to him, and he often stands on the opposite side. However, Ye Sumang has a very good appreciation for this advanced system, and as the saying goes, "Only by knowing yourself and others can you win a hundred battles." Although Ye Sumang is not prepared to deduct certain directors, it is better to consider the problem from more perspectives.

The proposal of Ye Sumang and the Directors Union came to an answer soon, and the other party finally agreed to Ye Sumang's affairs.

In fact, this also stems from Ye Sumang's lack of excessive demands. There is only one thing. When Ye Sumang was filming for his own company, he did not need the intervention of the director's union. It was just that. After all, he had to find someone to supervise the filming for himself and also had to share some of the profits. Although Ye Sumang was rich, he was not so flirted with. Even if the other party didn't share much, Ye Sumang was unhappy to bear such unnecessary losses.

After Ye Sumang paid the membership fee for one year, he officially became a member of the director's union.

I signed a contract and obtained a certificate, which was considered an identity certificate. It can be seen that China is not the only one who is in this certificate and that certificate, but the same is true for the United States.

After visiting the director's union, Ye Sumang went to the photographers' union and the performer's union. He roughly learned that the responsibilities of these unions are actually similar, but the rights and interests they are protected are slightly different.

For example, the actors' union protects the rights of actors mostly just diet and break time regulations, while the director's work is more focused on protecting copyright. At the same time, Ye Sumang has also communicated with many actors and directors, and his understanding of Hollywood is becoming more and more profound.

This also made Ye Sumang feel very moved. Sometimes it is really impossible to read books. Only by truly going in and having face-to-face communication can you get the most real feedback. Many of the things you get from the books come with the author's personal opinions, which obviously leads to a misunderstanding for readers.

After digesting the message for a few more days, Ye Sumang finally visited the screenwriter's union.

It’s not that he doesn’t pay attention to the screenwriter’s union, but that Ye Sumang himself went with his purpose. After all, as the big boss of a production company and a director, seeking good scripts is a hobby for Ye Sumang.

However, it is obviously not that easy to catch "treasure" in the sea. This time, the screenwriter union trip made Ye Sumang a little disappointed. At least a few screenwriters I have met either have no desires or just talk big. Some people look down on Ye Sumang, and some are naked money. This kind of sentient beings makes Ye Sumang feel very good and completely destroyed.

"Damn it, these bastards, these damn book writers, **oss, don't worry, our company also has a dedicated screenwriter team, and they will definitely come up with a satisfactory script for you."

Sitting in the car, Sain shouted in dissatisfaction.

After all, it was so annoying that the assistant was the assistant. In the mind of the assistant, Ye Sumang was his God of Wealth, the greatest and most capable god of wealth creation. However, in the eyes of those writers, Ye Sumang was just a well-known director, as if his script would be buried in his hands.

You should know that my boss has won the title of Best Foreign Language Film twice, these short-sighted guys.

Ye Sumang smiled indifferently, and the hint of grudge in his heart slowly dissipated with Saiwen's complaint. It's true that his achievements in the United States are only a little famous, which makes Ye Sumang feel as if he has returned to the stage of starting a business, making him very motivated and motivated!

This feeling is really wonderful. Isn’t it just to meet this new challenge when I come to Hollywood? Now I look down on me and use my grades to slap them in the face. But when I succeed, those little fish and shrimps that used to be can only look up to their existence.

Just as Ye Sumang was considering how to choose his starting point, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Ye Sumang picked it up and looked at it, and a bright smile appeared on his face. The official fiancée, Liu Yifei, was called.
