There has always been a contradiction between the Korean film industry and the music industry, which seems to be a natural phenomenon in South Korea, which is everywhere in the portal, but this contradiction has never been so fierce as it has been since 08.

Before 08, although there was a contradiction between the two, the general form of embodiment was the fancy beating of idols and singers in the film circle. There is no way, the gap between the combat effectiveness of the two sides is too big, Korean filmmakers are killed all the way by parades, shaved heads, etc., and it has a long history, and it existed before the recovery of South Korea. In fact, many experts believe that the history of the idol industry in South Korea began at the time of the establishment of S.M., when Lee so-man decided not to sell his own pirated records. Since then, the Korean music industry has really entered the so-called era of full commercialization, and then the government has strongly supported the Hallyu culture, and then the music industry has begun to be called together with the film industry.

So in South Korea, the level gap between the two circles is really all-round.

For example: In South Korea, TV drama actors are considered to have the same social status as ordinary businessmen, and film actors are higher than this average standard, but idol is considered to be slightly lower than this standard; in South Korea, there are three film awards, but the music award is a gold record, not to mention the Seoul Music Awards, that thing is really not a few years, and the prestige has not yet accumulated; in South Korea, Lee Chang-dong can be transformed into the Minister of Culture, Lee Soon-jae can be elected to the National Assembly, and Cha Seung-jae, a film producer, can retire and become a professor, but have you heard of Aunt In's soon-i going to be a professor？

What's more, the concept of this gap has infiltrated the hearts of every Korean, including the filmmakers themselves and the idols themselves. That's why idols have the idea of trying to act as soon as they become famous. However, this has caused even more dissatisfaction among the actors, after all, there are more monks and less porridge, what are we eating when you come?

So, Lee Hyori didn't act well, and these people said that idol had no acting skills. And Yoon Eun-hye acted well. These people are even more difficult to accept, how can you play well?

And the contradictions caused by this competitive situation finally reached an extreme in the second half of 08.

This year, the film market collapsed across the board, while the idol market exploded across the board. What should I do if the film market is sluggish? It's very simple, the actors routinely go to act in TV series, don't believe you go to see Jang Keun Suk and Moon Geun Young. What should I do about the outbreak of the idol market? It's very simple, idols routinely go to TV dramas, don't believe it, go and watch the most popular TV series "Boys Over Flowers", which is ...... Isn't it?

But that's exactly what happened. Jin Zhongming would say such shameless words so without scruples. But then again, he is not a supporter of the nobility of actors, he did this to further strengthen the authority of the committee and establish his own status. After all, if the dignity of these companies can be calmly and effectively slaughtered in front of all Koreans in this movement, it will definitely have a great deterrent effect! Ordinary people will remember this incident, and Korean artists will remember that the committee helped them get such good terms before signing the contract, and Ahn Sung-ki and his Kim Jong-ming will naturally plunder extremely high prestige!

And to put it mildly, everything An Shengji has in this circle will be inherited by him sooner or later, and everything will be his.

Yang Hyun-suk, who is transparent in his heart, of course, also understands the deep meaning of Kim Jong-ming. But he was speechless, because he knew that the actors present would support each other unconditionally. And his own strength and position are not enough to make any waves. If nothing else, the idols in YG are now stealing the show with these actors, okay? But so what? Even so, how can he accept that his artists are still grateful to Kim Jong-myung when they sign with him?

As for Song Kanghao and Xue Jingqiu next to him, they are neutral. Although their moral level is there, which makes them disgusted by this narrow professional bias, they will not stand up and say anything, after all, the overall situation is already there, and the rest is just a flat push. It's not a big deal who pushes first and who pushes later. Moreover, it is said that this matter is handled by the committee, and it is natural for people to want to pick the fruit in the end.

So Yang Xianshuo and the others left, and a consensus was quickly reached in the conference room here. After all, SidusHQ, Tree Artist, KEYEAST, and JK-CUBE have all agreed to the new contract plan, and several actors and actresses are even more unanimous, and the Directors Guild and the Film Promotion Committee have no intention of going against the trend, so the remaining companies naturally have no intention of resisting. So Ahn Sung-ki said a few words, Jung Jin-joo, the chairman of the Korean Film Promotion Committee, then pretended to say a few words, and Lim Kwon-taek said a few more words, and the matter was completely settled. In the end, everyone assigned the task, and most of them had to contact various small companies engaged in actor agency business after the meeting, asking them to accept the new contract template, anyway, they had to pinch the whole actor piece!

As for Kim Jong-myung, he went to Yeouido after the meeting ended with Ahn Sung-ki, Chung Jin-ju, and others, and set up a luxurious luncheon with fried noodles and sweet and sour pork in a small restaurant in Yeouido, and invited Lee Byung-soon, director of KBS Television, Kim Yong-sub, head of SBS Television, and several members of the nine-member MBC committee who happened to be on the television station.

The meaning is simple. That is to say, you see, we Korean filmmakers are once again united to make efforts for the progress of the Korean entertainment industry, and the general situation is so good, so do you want to join the three major TV stations, or do you want to join the team? If you feel that it is more difficult to choose, you can go back and discuss with the Broadcasting and Communications Commission, and we can wait. But then again, you have to be obedient after you move in!

Of course, Lee Byung-soon and others will not fail to understand the heart of Korean filmmakers, they slapped the table at that time and said that they would advance and retreat with Korean actors in life and death, and vowed to return the Korean entertainment industry to a bright future!

Then the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and before they even had time to move the chopsticks, everyone couldn't wait to go back and carry out relevant actions!

By the end of the day, it had only taken a day's work. Almost all the companies engaged in the actor management business in South Korea were recruited by the committee, and the few small companies that dared to pretend to be tough were immediately blacklisted and published online. Although there is an objective reason behind this efficiency that the number of actors and related companies is relatively small, but even so, the entire Korean entertainment industry is shocked by this.

Immediately, the three major television stations reported on the incident at length, and of course they praised the committee's action very deeply and fairly, and at the same time praised the advanced nature of the Korean filmmakers who took the lead in taking the lead. And. Almost all the programs have changed their stance in the TVXQ case, and they used to say that although TVXQ's contract is indeed problematic, the private morality of these three people is undoubtedly disgusting. However, now this tone is completely reversed, that is, although these three people still have to be refused, the lawsuit itself based on the contract should be said to be without any problems, and the court should make a fair judgment. At the same time, the programs of the three major TV stations all mentioned at the end that the Korean Artist Rights Self-Help Committee will fully intervene in the issue of idol's agency contract after settling the actor's management contract.

Things go back a little further. The management is really defeated. Whether it is the collapse of SidusHQ, the leader in the industry, or the strong public opinion pressure from the outside world, or even the calmness of the committee to come first and come first when it is promoted, these things are difficult for the management to bear. In addition, there are too many companies engaged in the idol industry, large and small, old and new, all of which are uneven. Therefore, on the 10th of March, at the moment when the committee began to open fire on the idol company, many small companies that could not bear the pressure actually set off a wave of surrender. They have taken the initiative to jump out to the media to express their willingness to accept the new model contract, and even willing to cooperate more deeply with the committee. For example, report the contract to the committee like the singer association reports the artist!

This made the big companies such as YG, JYP, DSP, which were still struggling to maintain the independence of the company, almost immediately give up!

To be specific, early in the morning of the 10th, the Commission officially sent the first notice to Pledis about the idol contract of this company. And this notice is not only for the other party to adopt the new contract template, but also issued a harshly worded accusation, because the company still made a year revision of some members of its new debut artist group Afterschool after the TVXQ case made waves and the committee also showed the new contract template!

This is simply a slap in the face of the committee!

Of course. Han Sung-so, the boss and president of the company, is very aggrieved, what do I think when I revise the contract, how do I think your committee can't succeed, okay? At that time, it was not normal to see that several of its artists had a good debut, and it was not normal to change the contract period while the newcomer was changing?

But then again, Han Sung-so's company has just been established, and it has neither a background nor a particularly strong backstage. Even if there is a backstage, at this time, people will go to the 45-degree angle to look at the sky, and what can he do if he is wronged? In fact, the committee was originally picking up soft persimmons this time.

So, Han Sung-so had no choice but to get up immediately, personally took Afterschool and Sun Danfei to the committee's residence on the top floor of Cube Company, and then contacted a good lawyer and the media to supervise, and revised the contracts of all artists in public.

And, after the contract revision was completed, Han Sung-so also made an unexpected drama. He first publicly apologized to the public through the media, and then backed up the contract and submitted it to An Shengji, and at the same time euphemistically expressed the hope that the committee would follow the example of the singer association to start the company's registration duties, because it would also prove the legitimacy of his company to the outside world.

This is a big gift, An Shengji naturally smiled and accepted it.

As a result, the Fair Trade Commissioner, who watched this drama float in front of him, finally couldn't sit still, and if it continued like this, it was not just a matter of becoming a spectator, or even a matter of being reduced to a laughing stock. So as soon as Han Sung-su left that morning, the Fair Trade Commission issued an official statement on its official website.

The full text is as follows:

For a long time, there have been a large number of tortious acts in Korean artist contracts, which have plagued the artist market in the form of stubborn diseases.

And we have noticed that the recent excellent performance of civil society organizations has indeed greatly improved this phenomenon. Among them, the efforts and dedication of the Artists Rights Mutual Aid Committee are particularly prominent.

Therefore, the Fair Trade Commission, as an official organization, recognizes the efforts of the Korea Artists Rights Mutual Aid Committee, an NGO, on the issue of amending the Korean artist contract, and thanks all the organizations and individuals who have contributed to this effort.

In addition, the FTC will proactively issue relevant executive orders to assist the Artist Rights Mutual Aid Committee in amending the artist contract across Korea. The specific executive order will be jointly customized by the Committee with reference to the opinions of the Artists Mutual Assistance Committee.

Well, that's what that statement translates to. You see, although the two of us are some kind of committee, it is true that you are doing a good job over there, but after all, I am an official and have an advantage. And you see, there are so many magical committees in South Korea, but there are only two committees like you and me, right? Why don't we do it together? And can your family eat such a big mess? Honestly, brothers, divide my points.

Ahn Sung-ki naturally did not discourage the powerful FTC, and he immediately responded kindly through the media: "We are very much looking forward to cooperating with the FTC, in fact, Vice Chairman Choi Min-sik and Vice Chairman Kim Jong-myung have already set off on the way to contact the FTC." It is hoped that this cooperation will serve as a model for cooperation between government agencies and NGOs. ”

This means very simply, if you don't come out of the fair trade commission, why don't you have the whole world? Come on, big brother, as long as you keep enough of my mouth, then let's go together!

Back to the topic, the Fair Trade Commissioner is an official after all, and his long-standing power is simply not comparable to that of An Shengji teachers and students.

So, after the release of this statement, and with Han Sung-so's performance before this, many small companies really couldn't hold on, and the wave of surrender swept the entire Korean entertainment industry in an instant! Before the official executive order of the Fair Trade Commission was issued, there were actually only four companies left in South Korea that had not fully surrendered, namely YG, JYP, DSP, and S.M, which still looked unchanged and had no heartbeat.
