Chapter 1051 Cause for Concern
As soon as the blocking order of the General Administration came out, the industry was shocked. Under the ban of the General Administration, the works of artists such as Ning Caishen, Chapter 1051 Concern, Ke Zhendong and other artists have been affected, involving a number of film and television companies, including Guangguang Media, Huace Film and Television, Xinli Shares and other listed companies or companies to be listed, in addition, many brands endorsed by these artists have also been affected.
Film and television dramas, variety shows and advertisements related to these artists were either suspended or adjusted. Ning Caishen's "Dragon Gate Dart Game" was once rumored to be the most profitable and fastest TV series, and the "Dragon Gate Dart Game 2" that is being prepared for filming may face adjustments; The TV series "Turning Hands into Clouds and Covering Hands for Rain" starring Zhang Mo as the second male lead is likely to be hidden indefinitely; Chapter 1051 After the accident attracted attention, the advertisements for his endorsement were quickly replaced by his father Cheng Long; and Ke Zhendong, who was a popular male star born in the 90s, not only faced high claims from dozens of advertising brands endorsed by him, but also the two upcoming movies "My Rival in Love is Superman" and " Small Times 4 also had to be urgently adjusted.
The blocking order issued by the General Administration has caused huge controversy on the Internet, with some people supporting and some opposing it.
Supporters believe: "Since you are a public figure, you should be clean and set a good example for the public." If you can't do it, block it, support it! The domestic entertainment industry should be well organized, otherwise foreign artists should come to occupy the Chinese market. ”
"It's a matter of image. Everyone makes mistakes, and if you know you'll be caught doing it, you're responsible for the mistakes you make. If the public watches a group of drug addicts and prostitutes jumping around on the screen all day long, how can you embarrass those minors whose values have not yet been fully established?"
"Supporting the decision of the General Administration, giving our people an entertainment stage to spread positive energy, and removing the male and female scum from the entertainment industry, we applaud and praise it, it is long overdue. ”
"The most important thing to do with drugs should be blocked, it's terrible to look at those comments of brain-dead fans, saying that in order to see his idol plan to commit a crime to accompany him, he said that he would support it if he killed someone, it's really brain-dead fans every year, there are a lot of them this year, and the garbage of the stick country should also be banned, and there are those pro-Japanese Taiwanese garbage acting and singing!"
At the same time, there are many people who question and oppose the ban order of the General Administration, and they think: "People who are not guilty and know that they can change their mistakes should be given a chance." Moreover, their correction of mistakes can also be used as a typical case to warn more people not to repeat their mistakes. Moreover, whether to hire them or not is a market behavior, which should be left to the market to choose, and a one-size-fits-all approach to administration may not achieve the best results. ”
"Drug addicts, as well as bad celebrities, should be banned. But it should not be blocked by the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, but should be boycotted by the people, and it should be the spontaneous behavior of media organizations. Just as the media should consciously block violent and pornographic content during viewing hours when children are likely to watch, and consciously block advertisements for sexual reproduction during food and beverage hours. Therefore, the Bureau's ban on bad stars is not completely in line with the law, and the act of banning bad stars should become the industry's ethics for the media. ”
"Many people usually scold the General Administration, and that's because he has banned cartoons and American dramas, which is what he wants to watch. If the target of the ban is hated by him, then many people will jump and applaud. That's it this time, you see how many people support it. This is really in line with the old saying, what kind of people there is, what kind of government there is!"
Before the ban order came out, Zhang Ran was calling on the state to restrict drug artists. Now that the state has really issued a ban order, it has naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people. The intellectuals pointed the finger at Zhang Ran, sneered at him on the Internet, and even scolded him, saying that he was a lackey of the government and an enemy of freedom.
Zhang Ran posted a long Weibo in response: "Some people believe in liberalism, and as long as it is related to the government, it is wrong in their eyes, and in their eyes, capital is a harmless white lotus to humans and animals." Many people say that the ban on bad artists should be decided by the market, but what I want to say is that it is a pipe dream to restrict or ban these people by relying on the market.
A few years ago, Mo Shaocong was detained for drug use, but instead of being banned, he caused capital to chase. Before taking drugs, Mo Shaocong was an out-of-fashion star, with a salary of only more than 100,000 yuan, but after the drug abuse incident was exposed, his salary rose to one million. Guo Meimei was scolded by Wanmin, the market should ban her, but not only did she not, "Jia Ren" magazine also made a blockbuster for her on the cover, and many TV stations also invited her to be on the show. This is the reality! If there is no sword of Damocles hanging over your head, it is purely a dream to rely on market regulation and industry to ban these people!
There are many people who talk about the law, saying that it is illegal to ban bad artists, but what I want to say is that some industries are special. In the United States, for example, foreigners are not allowed to form television networks. Another example is the presumption of innocence is the consensus of the legal community, but the SEC implements the presumption of guilt for the stock market. Once the SEC suspects you of insider trading, then you must prove your innocence, and if you can't produce evidence, then you are guilty.
In February 2008, Lee Kwok-po, chairman and chief executive of the Bank of East Asia, was fined US$8 million for his involvement in the Dow Jones insider trading case in the United States, and was forced to resign as a member of the Hong Kong SAR government. Li Guobao was suspected of insider trading because he was flying from Hong Kong, and one of the passengers on the plane with him was arrested in the United States a few days after that. The SEC found that Li Guobao had also been in contact with the stocks and funds involved in the insider trading case, so they asked Li Guobao to prove that he and the people involved in the case did not communicate on the plane, but this could not be proved at all, and finally Li Guobao had to resign from the relevant position under pressure and seek an out-of-court settlement, and was fined $8 million by the SEC.
Isn't that fair? But that's what the United States does. Because the stock market crash in 1929 almost brought down the United States, the Americans suffered a big loss, and they learned from the pain, knowing that only in this way could the safety of the stock market be guaranteed. Due to the extremely strict supervision of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, cashing out and manipulating stock prices have almost disappeared in the US stock market, and almost all investments in the US stock market are held for a long time, and no one dares to sell or buy a large number of short-term sales.
The film and television industry is not an ordinary industry, it has a great influence among young people, and it is very necessary to ban bad artists. Of course, it is not good to rely on administrative orders to ban them, and the ban on bad artists should be written into the law and supervised through the law. Now there are various problems in the domestic entertainment industry, we have regulatory agencies, but we can't manage them, the regulations have not kept up, and we can't punish them accordingly. "Film Law" has been shouted for so many years, and there is still no film. I think the "Film Law" should be promulgated as soon as possible, because the Chinese film market needs a law, and a law is needed to provide legal protection for the healthy development of the Chinese film industry. ”
After Zhang Ran's Weibo was released, it won the support of a large number of netizens, and at the same time, it was severely criticized by the public knowledge, who shouted that Zhang Ran was the enemy of freedom, and refuted Zhang Ran's long Weibo from all angles.
However, Zhang Ran didn't pay attention to these people anymore, and now the ban order of the General Administration has come out, and the ban means that the investment in film and television dramas has been lost, and there is no hope of recovering the cost. Investors who have suffered a big loss will definitely find ways to protect their interests. In this case, the completion guarantee will come into their field of vision!
Of course, Zhang Ran also understands that this will take some time, because in the documents issued by the General Administration, one of the words used more for bad artists is "suspended", "suspended broadcast", "suspended screening", etc., and there is no specific start and end. Since there is no time limit, the production company will have the illusion that there is room to operate, and maybe a few months will pass. In this case, they still won't choose the film to guarantee. Only when they understand that banning bad artists is a long-term process, and they will choose to guarantee the completion of the film when they have no other choice.
Three days later, the movie "Monster Hunt" held a press conference in Lin'an, attracting hundreds of media outlets.
"Monster Hunt" is a fantasy film directed by the famous producer Jiang Ziqiang and Xu Chengyi, the father of "Shrek", who returned to China to direct it, written by "Storm" director Yuan Jinlin, gathered the strongest behind-the-scenes team of Chinese films, and created visual effects by Tiangong Chongcai Lin'an Branch, which was originally scheduled to be released in 2015 Chinese New Year. However, due to the arrest of Ke Zhendong, the actor of the movie, who took drugs, the General Administration issued a ban order on drug-addicted artists, and "Monster Hunt" was implicated, and now the future is uncertain.
The industry and the media are very concerned about the "Monster Hunt" press conference, and want to know what choice Jiang Ziqiang will make.
The press conference began quickly, and Jiang Ziqiang and a man of more than 30 years appeared on the stage.
Jiang Ziqiang smiled and introduced: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Zhou Pengfei, the president of Tiemen Completion Company. Many people may not know the company Iron Gate Film, nor do they know Mr. Zhou, but after today, I believe that Iron Gate Finish and Mr. Zhou will be known to everyone in the entertainment industry. Jiang Ziqiang turned his head to Zhou Pengfei and said, "Mr. Zhou, you should still talk about this matter!"
Zhou Pengfei smiled at Jiang Ziqiang, looked at the black and oppressive reporters in the audience, and said slowly: "Friends from the media, good afternoon, I am Zhou Pengfei, the CEO of Tiemen Film, which is a film completion guarantee company jointly invested and established by Century Summit and Chinese People's Insurance Company, established in 2011. I came here today because Jiang invested in the film "Monster Hunt" and our company has a guarantee agreement for the completion of the film. The filming of "Monster Hunt" has been completed and post-production is underway, but due to Ke Zhendong's drug use and being banned by the General Administration, the film cannot be delivered to the normal distributor, and as a guarantee company, this responsibility can only be borne by us. Next, "Monster Hunt" will look for an actor who can replace Ke Zhendong and reshoot his scenes. The female lead Bai Baihe will not be affected, but she will participate in this remake, and the story line will continue according to the original script, and the entire remake fee will be borne by our company!"
Jiang Ziqiang looked at Zhou Pengfei, who was talking eloquently, and was very glad that "Monster Hunt" had purchased the guarantee service for the completion of the film. When Jiang Ziqiang came into contact with the guarantee of the completion of the film relatively early, when he invested in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", because the film cooperated with a Hollywood company, according to Hollywood rules, he had to guarantee the completion of the film. Jiang Ziqiang was very reluctant, but finally bought it. Unexpectedly, Michelle Yeoh injured her foot during filming, resulting in a two-month shutdown of work, and the expenses of those two months were eventually compensated by the insurance company.
When "Monster Hunt" was being prepared, Jiang Ziqiang was surveying the scenery in Lin'an and learned that there was also a film guarantee company in China, and it was jointly invested and established by Century Summit and Chinese People's Insurance Co., Ltd. "Monster Hunt" is very expensive, and in order to ensure the smooth completion of the movie, he bought a guarantee for the completion of the film. Fortunately, I bought the film with a guarantee, otherwise the loss this time would have been great!
The completion guarantee is a new thing in China, and many of the reporters present have never heard of it and don't know what the completion guarantee is. After hearing that the remake of "Monster Hunt" would be borne by Iron Gate, the reporters were stunned!
Early the next morning, almost all the media in the country were reporting on this matter, not only the entertainment version, but also the financial sector was also discussing, and the guarantee for the completion of the film, as well as the completion of the iron door film, immediately became a hot topic of discussion in the industry.
