Prism is an in-depth reporting column under Penguin News, and the questions of the interview and report focus on the financial field, so before the interview, they communicated with Cao Yifang in advance about the specific content, obviously they believe that what Cao Yifang is doing now can gain insight into the trends of the entire entertainment industry, not just a display of personal talent.

The hostess heard Cao Fangfang's understatement and told the truth, and couldn't help but wonder: "Fortunately, I have a few friends who are entertained, and I visited them by phone before interviewing you...... Most of them have interviewed many well-known artists, and I learned from them. ”

Cao Fang was very interested: "What do you say?"

"Yuji usually has interview cheats, actors and big names have their own tempers, many people are not very good at interviewing, and some have taboos in the chat process, two of them have done your exclusive interview, they told me that there is no other difficulty in interviewing Cao Yifang, as long as he makes an appointment, he must know everything, say everything, and can talk from all over the world, there are no taboos. ”

Speaking of this, the hostess covered her mouth and smiled: "His problem is not that he doesn't say much, but that he talks too much." ”

The interview host spoke very comfortably, and Cao Fang joked with her, pretending to be angry: "Did I say too much and didn't have time to record? That's okay, that's all for today......

After saying that, he got up, and the hostess hurriedly pulled him: "Don't make trouble!"

"Okay. Cao Fangfu sat down again, changed to a more comfortable position and collapsed in the chair.

The hostess frowned and smiled, "Do you usually like to joke so much?"

"When the work at hand is over......" Cao Yifang rubbed his forehead: "I was very busy a while ago, how can I have any leisure, I have taken leave to leave the set in the past two days, and I am in a better mood...... That's not a fuss, knowing that you're a serious reporting column, you go on. ”

"Well......" The interview host smiled and adjusted his state, looked at the manuscript, and continued to ask about the topic just now: "If I understand correctly, you mean that if you only think about making money, you can't write a script." ”

"Yes, because it's so inefficient. ”

Cao Fangfang said for a while, from the birth to the sale of a script, and even the question of continuing to revise on the set, "Do you know Tian Anbang?"

"I know that Mr. Tian is an old lady in domestic screenwriters, and his works are equal to ......"

"He has a female apprentice who is now helping me with script revisions, and during the preparation period, I found out that she also has a side job, which seems to be called ...... Online eating broadcasts?"

The hostess was surprised: "Big stomach?"

"Yes, I thought she liked to eat very much, but then she told me that it was really difficult to make money writing scripts, and there was no way. ”

"Won't it?"

That's it, screenwriters are really having a hard time, especially some screenwriters whose writing content is not commercial enough, they can't sell it, they can't even sell it, some of them sell it, they can't collect money, and some companies cheat the author's outline and operate it themselves, step by step. ”

Cao Fang said narcissistically: "You see that I have a good reputation, right? But this script has never been favored before, and Mr. Miao also likes my binding nature with the script, he thinks that the drama I starred in, at least it will not be unsold, so he is willing to take over the script......"

Talking about the difficulties of domestic screenwriters, he turned back to the differences between actors and screenwriters.

"Don't talk about low-level artists, let's talk about a little famous star actor, if I say that this is the most profitable profession in China in addition to entrepreneurship, no one should object, right?"

The hostess nodded, and then worried: "Aren't you afraid of being scolded when you say that?"

"Facts, why are you scolding me. ”

Cao Yifang smiled disapprehantly: "A popular star, if the brokerage company is not black, the after-tax income can reach 20 million to 30 million a year, but it takes more time and brainpower, and the screenwriter who needs to keep learning and charging is very good, and it is very good to have millions of dollars a year, and they are all the top ...... in the industry."

"If it weren't for the success of the pretender, I might really be reluctant to write anymore, time-consuming and thankless, and the risk of failure is also high, why don't I honestly film to make money?"

The hostess thought she had gotten what Cao Fang wanted to say, "So...... Are you doing it for your dreams?"

"Nope. Cao Fangfang suddenly became serious: "I'm here to make more money." ”

……

Cao Fangfang ran a few more activities next, and by the way, he really stood up for Xie Yu's real estate in Changsha, and he was embarrassed to ask for money.

This interview report came out in the evening, and originally there were not many news readers in this column, but due to the unprecedented interviews with stars in the entertainment industry, and Cao Fangfang's popularity remained high, and many seemingly sensitive topics were involved in the discussion, the number of retweets was extremely high.

"Making more money, which means that I have to keep making good dramas so that I can maintain my worth, right? The content industry in the entertainment industry is really bad, good content will always be scarce, even if there are not so many film and television companies that don't like me, I choose at random in the entire market, and I can't pick out a few good scripts a year, and even fewer are suitable for me. ”

"I just happened to be able to write a script, and I certainly won't write it myself forever...... It depends, but if I have this ability, I will be particularly confident, and I can get rid of the dilemma of actors being selected in the market and get rid of commodity attributes. ”

"You ask me if the celebrity's salary is inflated and reasonable? Let me tell you a little bit, what is reasonable. ”

"Supply and demand determine the price, I know this, I saw everyone scolding some domestic actors on the Internet for their sky-high salaries, but they didn't even understand what they were scolding? Everyone found a reason, for example, the sky-high salary squeezes the space for good actors, and also occupies the production cost of film and television dramas, so these actors who get sky-high salaries are to blame for bad movies. ”

"I'm a high salary now, but it's not a sky-high salary. ”

"In fact, the sky-high salary in the industry is basically gone...... This is also determined by supply and demand, as far as I know, the salaries of many traffic stars have plummeted, and they either maintain a high price and do not take on the show, or they will reduce the price to take the show. ”

"I watched a financial program before and listed several sets of data ......"

"Weibo certified artists, there are only a few hundred people in China, of course, not counting those Internet celebrities and the like, they are artists, and Hanguo has a population of only 20 million, he has nearly 2,000 artists, and there are some famous ones. ”

"There is also a data on the number of movies per capita, 0.08 in Hanguo, whether we are more than five or four in China, about 50 times that of others......"

"It means that there are too few of us and too few stars. ”

"I guess I'm going to be scolded when I say that, haha. ”

"But in fact, that's it, there are too few stars, too scarce, and the market price will be very high. ”

"I have also thought about it, digging out the roots, how can this be? Chinese stars are very busy, compared with film and television companies, compared with those cheap artists in Hanguo, we have a relatively greater right to speak, in the final analysis, the content industry of film and television companies is underdeveloped. ”

"If you are easy to produce good works, you can make stars, this star has a high salary, you don't need him, anyway, you have a good movie, a hit TV series, and you have become popular with several stars at once. ”

"But we are not like this, film and television companies release several movies and TV series a year, they themselves are completely unsure, the box office ratings are not sure, and they must rely on stars to resist, in this way, which stars have more advantages from previous years' data, everyone will rush to use whom, as long as your offer is not high enough to be completely unprofitable, they will be willing to bid. ”

The interviewer asked: Now that the policy restricts salaries, then film and television companies can increase production costs, and won't sophisticated film and television dramas improve their star-making capabilities? In this way, can they benchmark against Hanguo's film and television companies?

Cao Fangfang: "Isn't this the cause of the reversal? The key is that this is not the logic of capital...... Suppose that a film and television company produced a bad movie, and they gave 60% of the funds to the stars, and the profits were still 20%, but now the remuneration is restricted, and the stars take less, for example, 40% of the production costs, and the producers can have 40% of the profits for the same quality, how can they use this money to improve the production level? Of course, it is better to increase profits. ”

The interviewer asked: There will be well-made dramas in the market, which will force these companies to progress.

Cao Yifang: "There have been well-made film and television dramas in the past, but why do many companies that specialize in producing bad movies make far more money than companies with unique ingenuity?"

Interviewer: I don't know.

Cao Fangfang: "This is the market, we need time. ”

There's a whole chunk of discord in the middle that has actually been removed.

Interviewer: Then why do you say that the sky-high salaries of traffic stars are getting lower and lower?

Cao Fangfang: "There are no policy restrictions, and they don't have much money to take." In fact, this is a bubble, don't blame them, blame the capital for flocking, especially the hot money brought in by Internet companies, there is no idea, they first analyze from the data, the traffic stars bring the box office, ratings, so I gave a high salary, but later found out that something was wrong, these buddies couldn't take it, it turned out that a lot of data on the Internet was partially fanatically painted, and it couldn't be converted into content traffic at all, and the investors lost a lot of money, so the capital withdrew from the film and television industry in the past two years, and the bubble slowly melted, so they naturally didn't have such a high salary. ”

……

As soon as this report came out, many media maliciously cropped the content and released sensational headlines.

"If it's popular, it's floating, Cao Yifang washes the floor with a high salary for celebrities"

"Cao Fangfang: The high salary of celebrities is because there are too few stars, and the supply exceeds demand"

Many netizens don't say that they haven't seen the original text, even if they do, they ...... I don't have the patience to read it, and I don't understand it after reading it.

[Shameless!Never watch your TV series again!]

[Resist the high salary of celebrities, start from resisting Cao's side]

[Can I go to you! Tens of millions a year is still reasonable?! How many people know about scientists ...... the country?

[I can't accept it, I can't understand it, I only have 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year of hard work, and celebrities can earn a thousand times more income than me by filming some scenes casually and receiving some advertising? ]
