Chapter 392: What Is Worrying Is Not the Scarcity but the Inequality!

"Two million investment, 160 million net profit."

"My own students can really surprise me!"

In the principal's office.

Ye Chen was amazed at this unexpected profit.

After all, at the beginning, even though Ye Chen thought that the new thing of short plays was quite interesting and optimistic.

But he didn't expect the results to be so good.

My own students are really something.

"Okay, the money has arrived, and 50% of it will be used to establish a film and television professional creation fund."

"Film and television students who have creative needs in the future can apply for this creation fund."

"No commercialization is required, as long as it is a valuable creative project, you can apply."

"No impact if there is no profit."

"If there is profit, 50% of the profit will be added to the film and television creation fund, and the other half belongs to the students."

Ye Chen spoke first to confirm the ownership of half of the funds.

The matter of the film and television creation fund was mentioned before when I invested money in students to shoot short plays.

After all, the students of my own Xingchen Academy love to toss.

It's only been more than one semester since school and they have to shoot short plays.

Then when they are in their sophomore and junior years, they may not know what they want to shoot.

Instead of the college always allocating funds to support students' creation.

It is better to directly set up a creation foundation.

Relying on the level of their own students.

In addition, there are teachers to review the application of the creation fund, and there will definitely be corresponding measures for supervision.

Ye Chen feels that the funds of this foundation will inevitably increase.

Maybe one day, his own foundation will save tens of billions of funds.

In that case, maybe one day his own students can use the money of the foundation to directly make a movie with a higher investment than Avatar.

In short.

Regarding the president's proposal to set up a film and television professional creation foundation.

The film and television teachers present naturally have no objection.

This is a good thing for the growth of film and television students.

And it can also help them explore more creative fields.

You must know that most film and television students in the college want to attract some investment for creation, and they really need to beg for money.

They even have to sign various unequal treaties.

But with this foundation for the film and television major of Xingchen College, students don’t have to go out to ask for help.

In short, this foundation has great benefits for the development of the entire Xingchen Film and Television major.

…

The Film and Television Creation Foundation was passed unanimously without any problems.

Ye Chen then talked about another issue.

It was also the main issue of today's meeting: "Next, we will talk about the distribution of money. Fifty percent will be used as a creation fund, and the remaining fifty percent will be distributed to all students who participated in the production of the short play."

"But the question is, how should it be divided?"

Hearing this, the teachers were slightly stunned.

How to divide it?

Just divide it like that?

They didn't quite understand what their principal meant.

However, Mr. Zhou, the director of the Film and Television major, guessed what the principal meant and said, "The principal means that students from all classes have participated in the production. How much money should the acting class get? How much should the directing class get? How much should the rest, such as the screenwriting class and the post-production class, get?"

After Mr. Zhou explained this, all the teachers understood.

It is definitely not possible to distribute it equally.

If you do this, most students will definitely be dissatisfied.

So a teacher said: "Why don't we refer to industry practices to distribute it."

"Actors are definitely the most important, so the acting class gets the lion's share."

"Directors are also important, and the director class can get a smaller share than the acting class."

"Post-production is also an important job, and the post-production class should also take a larger share."

"The rest will be distributed to students in the screenwriter, photographer, props and makeup classes."

What this teacher said attracted the approval of many teachers.

This is indeed an industry practice.

Actors must get the lion's share. Although directors don't earn as much as actors, they are also the second highest in income.

And post-production is also the biggest investment.

Then comes photography, logistics, props, screenwriters, etc.

In the film and television industry, it can be said that the income levels are particularly clear.

However, Ye Chen did not agree with this proposal and said calmly: "After all, the college is not a real film and television industry."

"I think if the income gap between classmates is too large, it will affect cooperation and make each other dissatisfied."

"For example, students who take photography have to work hard every day to carry the camera to shoot. Some students in the acting class who may have only filmed for one day earn several times or even dozens of times more than them. Isn't it inappropriate?"

"For example, screenwriters work hard to think of the script. They can be said to be the parents of this drama. In the end, when the money is divided, they get the least. Can they be psychologically balanced?"

"So I think that different classes can have differences according to their importance, but the difference cannot be too big."

"Otherwise, a good thing like dividing money will become a bad thing."

Ye Chen finished speaking.

A group of teachers fell into deep thought.

What the principal said seems to make sense.

The film and television industry outside is like this because of capital promotion.

Actresses and directors are the most important, and they should get the most.

For other positions, the salary is like this.

What, you think it's too little? Then get out of here.

If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will!

This is the choice of capital.

But the creative environment within the academy is completely different from the real film and television industry.

Students cooperate because of enthusiasm, not interests.

If you don’t make money, it doesn’t matter if you don’t share the money in the end.

But if you make money in the end, everyone will contribute just as much or even more.

But just because you are a student in the acting class, you can get more than ten times the money we do.

That is indeed a bit unfair.

It affects the relationship between students.

It may even cause dissatisfaction and confrontation between classes.

It will eventually affect the cooperative atmosphere within the entire film and television major.

Almost all the students in the major participated in the filming of this short play.

It is a good start for cooperation.

If there is a disagreement over the division of money, it will be a bad thing!

...

It can be said that this question really confused the teachers.

Even if they are either senior film and television teachers or have a brilliant career resume.

But they couldn’t come up with a specific solution for a while.

It’s not that other film and television academies have never invested in students like Xingchen Academy.

It’s that no student creative project in any academy can make so much money.

So how should it be divided specifically?

The teachers had no idea for a while.

They finally understood why the principal had to hold a special meeting on this issue.

However, although it is a new problem.

But as long as it is discovered, it can always be solved.

After a serious discussion for an afternoon, a group of teachers finally came up with a plan before dinner.

Performance accounts for 20%.

Screenwriter accounts for 15%.

Director accounts for 15%.

Photography accounts for 15%.

Post-production accounts for 15%.

Props and costumes account for 10%.

Logistics and coordination account for 10%.

This distribution ratio was carefully considered by the teachers.

Actors still get the most, but being an actor, or at least being a good actor, does require talent.

They get more, which is reasonable.

The following is to bring up the importance of screenwriters, which accounts for the same share as director, photography, and post-production.

Finally, there are props and costumes and logistics coordination.

There is a gap in this distribution, but the gap will not be too big.

Even if the performance class has the highest share, the overall income is only twice that of props and costumes.

The students will definitely accept it and won't be dissatisfied.

The overall share distribution is determined.

After that, how to divide it specifically for each individual is not something Ye Chen needs to consider.

Naturally, the teachers of each class will do the statistics.

The money will be divided according to the contribution.

However, Ye Chen still told the acting class teacher seriously.

There can be a gap in income between the leading and supporting roles, but the gap cannot be several times.

In the outside world, the leading actor naturally earns the most.

Some traffic stars have a higher salary than the rest of the crew combined.

It can be said that it is very common.

But in Xingchen Academy, it is better not to have such a situation. (End of this chapter)
