Xue Ziqian nodded silently, he agreed with Liang Dong's statement. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He is not an outsider, even if he is an out-of-fashion singer, he has no fame, no endorsement, no commercial performance, he is also a member of the circle, and he understands the situation in the circle. From his point of view, the recent soaring value of newcomers is indeed a bit exaggerated, as long as they are good-looking, whether they have masterpieces or not, whether they have strength or not, they can be worth more than 100 million, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit abnormal.

The entertainment industry is also an industry, and every industry has certain standards. Although the entertainment industry is not like other industries, the standards are obvious, but there are rules that everyone must follow.

Worth is one of them, according to normal circumstances, the value of celebrities will not be too exaggerated. Whether it's a movie or a TV series, it's an abnormal thing for a star to be worth more than 50% of the cost.

The entertainment industry is to fight for stars and fame, and it is normal for stars to occupy the lion's share. However, it is impossible for any one to be fully supported by stars. In addition to the stars, there are directors, screenwriters, shooting, photography, lighting, recording studios, post-production, etc., and they have to own the remaining 50% of the rights.

Only when every penny is spent where it should be used can a qualified work be made.

What about now? The Chinese entertainment industry is obviously abnormal, the value of celebrities is getting higher and higher, and some newcomer stars even dare to offer more than 100 million yuan.

Whether it's a movie or a TV series, what is the total investment in a normal work? Taking a movie as an example, an investment of more than 100 million yuan is barely a blockbuster, and an investment of more than 200 million yuan is a blockbuster.

What is a blockbuster? A big star, a big director, a big production, and the three add up to be considered a blockbuster. If calculated according to the so-called value, if you invest 200 million in a blockbuster, the popular newcomer star will take half of the total investment.

Remember, this is only the salary of new stars, blockbusters can't have only one star, at least two or three well-known stars. doesn't need too much, even if only three top stars participate, the total worth is more than 300 million.

With an investment of 200 million, the star is worth 300 million, and the movie does not need to be filmed, and the investor has to post 100 million upside down. How can there be such a good thing in the world, even if the investors are willing, the big directors are not willing.

The bigger the production, the lower the star's salary. Because big directors have their own connections, they can use favors in exchange for stars to participate, and they only need to pay a small salary.

The movie doesn't say much, and the TV series is even more exaggerated. The investment in the TV series is only more than 100 million, and the value of the newcomer star alone is more than 100 million, how can the TV series be filmed?

After paying the star's salary, the director may not even have 10 million in his hands. How can the director invite other actors to play the role, how can he have the money to pay the salary in the later stage, and no one is willing to work without a salary.

Why is the quality of film and television works getting worse and worse, the sky-high salary is definitely the biggest factor.

"Teacher, one of the reasons for the sky-high salary should be related to variety shows, right?" Xue Ziqian asked in a low voice, he had his own understanding of the sky-high salary.

To Xue Ziqian's surprise, Liang Dong actually nodded: "You're right, in addition to the promotion of black hands, variety shows are one of the reasons for the sky-high salary." The shooting of variety shows is simple, there is no need for a rigorous plot, and the shooting cycle is short, and it can be filmed in two or three days. Unlike TV dramas, TV dramas have audiences, and variety shows are suitable for all ages, which has a great role in promoting the popularity of stars. But you didn't pay attention to one thing, variety shows are just one factor, and the most fundamental reason for the sky-high salary is still the huge black funds hidden in the entertainment industry!"

"Is it black money?" Xue Ziqian was still a little puzzled: "But teacher, black funds can't be used easily, once they are noticed by the upper echelons, it will not be good for the black hand or the star." There is also a strong backing behind celebrities, why do they agree to participate in money laundering?"

The total output value of the entertainment industry is large enough, and more and more capital is entering the entertainment industry, including many bigwigs. The reason why newcomers can come out is that there must be some forces pushing them, why don't those forces come forward to protect the stars?

Regarding this question, Liang Dong just smiled coldly and spit out two words: "Without him, interests! What is the reason why capital enters the entertainment industry? Is it to praise a certain star or for fun? No, they are also for profit. As long as there is interest, there is no problem with whomever you work with. Even if there is a mistake, the company can pretend to be deaf and dumb and push the star out of the blame. Sacrificing a newcomer, they use resources to push another newcomer. For companies, as long as they have resources and interests, they can make stars endlessly. ”

After a pause, Liang Dong said faintly: "Do you remember what I said? What is a star? A star is just a tool." ”

Xue Ziqian was dumbfounded, he didn't agree with the statement that celebrities were just tools, but he couldn't find a reason to refute them. Combined with his own experience, isn't a star a tool for the company?

If you are used to it, you can continue to use it, and if you are not used to it, you will be directly blocked and refrigerated, and there is no emotion to talk about.

Liang Dong didn't care how much his words affected Xue Ziqian, he continued: "And do you know what the composition of black capital is? It is the gray income of the entire Huaguo between black and white. Do you still remember the suicide of a college entrance examination student who boiled over some time ago?"

Xue Ziqian was indeed shocked, but he understood that Liang Dong was telling him another side of the circle, a world he had never been exposed to. Since he wants to enter the entertainment industry from the beginning, there are certain things he must understand. Know that you should prepare early, so that you will not panic when you encounter something.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he replied softly: "I know, it seems that it is a senior high school student, who was cheated out of 10,000 yuan by a scammer after the college entrance examination, and did something stupid after he couldn't think about it!

Liang Dong nodded: "Yes, that 10,000 yuan is naturally black funds." Extending from the college entrance examination student incident, one of the sources of black funds is fraud. Do you still remember the major incident that happened after the college entrance examination students? The Baodao fraud gang was arrested, and the fraudsters and funds were exposed. On the one hand, Treasure Island alone has tens of billions of funds defrauded every year. These funds cannot be circulated in the country, and must be shipped through certain channels!"

"Teacher, even if it is fraudulent funds, the funds can actually circulate in China, so why transfer the funds abroad?" Xue Ziqian was puzzled, fraud is not a bank robbery, the robbed coins will be numbered, and they will be exposed if they are used casually.

Fraudulent funds can be laundered in China, and after a few turnovers, the funds can be used, as if there is no need to spend a lot of money to transfer out of the country.

"What do you think the purpose of fraud is? A small number of people are really trying to make money, but most of them are organized and planned, not to satisfy their own selfish desires, but to make money for the start-up of something. For example, supporting unrest and unrest, paying salaries for cents, and bribing certain people in power, this is their plan. In order to achieve their goals, they must launder the black funds before they can be used normally!" Liang Dong patiently explained.

"Lying on the body of the motherland and sucking blood, after sucking blood, they will disturb the motherland, they are too dark!" Xue Ziqian said indignantly, he was sprayed by the navy, and he hated the navy.

"If it's not black, why should I call them black hands? Taizong I was famous, but unfortunately he was not tough enough on the issue of the treasure island, which caused the current situation!" Liang Dong sighed inexplicably.

"Shhh...... Teacher, do you mean ......" Xue Ziqian was shocked, and he was about to blurt out a sentence.

"Shut up!" Before Xue Ziqian could say it, Liang Dong snorted and blocked all the words he wanted to say: "Don't talk nonsense about these words, especially those related to Treasure Island, otherwise we will be in trouble!"

Xue Ziqian covered his mouth and quickly nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing that Xue Ziqian understood what he meant, Liang Dong breathed a sigh of relief: "Continue to talk about the sources of black funds, in addition to fraud, there are also illegal transactions, buying funds, etc., I don't need to say that you should also understand those things, I will focus on the last one for you, charity! Especially private charity! Last year, Huaguo's charitable donations reached 110 billion. Under normal circumstances, it is best to donate to public welfare charitable organizations for charity. Because it is a public charity, the public has the right to ask the charitable organization to disclose the use of the charity. However, in July 2011, a public welfare charity incident broke out, which almost destroyed the credibility of public welfare and charitable organizations. 12 years later, private charitable organizations have sprung up, and those private charitable organizations have almost taken up half of the domestic donations, that is, more than 50 billion!"

The other Xue Ziqian all agreed that he had different views on charitable donations: "Teacher, charitable donations are not black funds, right?"

Liang Dong glanced at Xue Ziqian: "Donations used for charity are naturally not black funds, but what about some funds that are not used for charitable donations? What about those funds that are deliberately hidden and used for other purposes?"

Liang Dong said word by word: "The so-called private charitable organizations have no obligation to disclose the purpose of donations. How and where the donations are used will not be known to outsiders. Donations may become books for children in mountainous areas, a school building, weapons to attack the motherland, or even machetes brandished at the public!"

"Probably not!" Xue Ziqian muttered, he couldn't accept these statements a little. Living in peace, it was hard for him to imagine the swords and swords hidden around him.

"Nothing is impossible, competition between great powers is everywhere, and they will do anything to crush each other. What's more, there are villains around you, and those villains are even more vicious than you think. There is a sentence that I agree with, the reason why we can't see the darkness is not because the world is already bright, but because someone is trying their best to block the darkness from what we can't see!" Speaking of this, Liang Dong was silent, and he thought of the group of young people who were carrying the weight forward.

"It doesn't matter if you can't figure out some things, you will slowly understand them in the future! Now I can only give you a number, all of them add up, there are more than 100 billion funds in China every year that cannot flow normally, and they are all black funds. If you want to use those funds, the black hand must be whitewashed through some means, and the entertainment industry is the most important tool!"
