Chapter 720: Meeting
During these days, Lin Zixuan's mind was not all on the company, he was more involved in various meetings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The 7th Cultural Congress and the 6th Writers' Congress will be held in Beijing.
At that time, more than 2,000 literary and art workers from all over the country will gather in the Great Hall of the People to discuss the new direction for the development of literature and art in the new century.
It has 1,423 delegates to the Chinese Congress and 927 delegates to the Congress.
This is a big event in the literary and artistic world.
As the vice chairman of the Beijing Writers Association, Lin Zixuan communicated with the writers in the capital, understood everyone's ideas, and summarized these ideas and reflected them.
At the same time, he is also a member of the Chinese Film Association and the Television Association, and has a certain status in the film and television industry.
He listens to other people's opinions, and others value his ideas.
When the opinions and ideas of all parties are brought together, they can influence the relevant policies of the country in the field of literature and art in the future, and have a guiding role.
For example, in the writers' association, writers proposed to increase remuneration, royalty reform, and open and market-oriented publishing.
The remuneration of Chinese writers has always been low, and there are restrictions on royalties, and the income obtained is not proportional to fame, and the income gap between traditional writers and best-selling authors is very large.
Revenues are linked to book sales, traditional literature is cold in the market, and best-selling authors make a lot of money.
A typical example is Han Han, who has become popular in the past two years, a dropout boy who is less than twenty years old, has written several youth novels and earned millions.
This is not Han Han's decision, but the choice of the market or the choice of the reader.
Most of the people who buy Han Han's novels are teenagers, and Han Han's novels cater to their needs, and if you analyze them carefully, they involve deep-seated reasons, including social changes and market operations.
In other words, it was this era that created Han Han.
Traditional writers are naturally dissatisfied with this, and some people propose to rectify the chaos in the literary world.
This chaos refers to the need to maintain seriousness in literary creation, not to be unconventional and sensational, and to challenge the bottom line of social values and morality without scruples in order to attract readers.
One of them is historical nihilism.
Literature and history are inseparable.
Some writers do not respect history as it is, fail to analyze and understand history rationally and fairly, cannot objectively describe and express history, trample on history at will, comment on history at will, and wantonly consume history.
It is manifested in three aspects: banter, fragmentation and subversion.
This is exemplified by the historical dramas that became popular in the 90s, and such film and television dramas are very popular with audiences.
This mode of creation involves two aspects: historical truth and artistic truth.
Some people say that literature needs fiction and that history can be replaced by imaginary details, which is artistic truth; Some people also believe that the creation of novels with historical themes should respect history and not make things up, which is historical truth.
In the final analysis, it is a matter of grasping the scale.
Fiction is not the same as making up nonsense and smearing at will, it must be carried out on the basis of historical facts, otherwise it is nihilism.
Most traditional writers have maintained a serious approach to their work, and are not accustomed to the sensationalism of best-selling authors, although there is also controversy within traditional writers.
How to grasp the scale? Should literary creation be free or bound by rules and regulations?
Listening to the discussion of the writers, Lin Zixuan had a headache.
He prefers to do something to fight for the rights of writers rather than this kind of theoretical discussion.
Not only in the literary world, but also in the film and television industry, there are many problems.
At an internal meeting of the Film and Television Association, film and television company CEOs, producers and actors' representatives expressed their views, focusing on the confusion in the management of film and television projects, unpaid wages, piracy and high salaries.
These problems have always existed, and the reason why they broke out in the past two years is because of lawsuits.
The production of domestic TV dramas generally adopts a contract system, and the producer is responsible for attracting investment, filming and selling films, and he receives a commission from the final income.
It takes half a year to a year for a drama to be prepared to be sold.
During this period, it is easy to generate various risks, and the producer may transfer the funds away, engage in short-term investment, or directly put them into his own pocket.
Or there is a major accident in the crew, the actors are injured, the filming is suspended, etc.
That's management chaos.
In the past, when this situation was encountered, it was often over, and it was better to shoot a few more dramas if there was that idle time, but now everyone's concept of the legal system has been strengthened, and litigation has become a way to solve the problem.
It is precisely because of the lawsuit that the matter has been exposed and attracted the attention of all walks of life.
The biggest reaction was a production manager under Liu Xiaoqing's company, who sued Liu Xiaoqing for owing him 10 million in distribution commissions, and the media reported extensively.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, and all kinds of chaos have been created behind the market boom.
There is also a high salary for actors.
Objectively speaking, compared with Hollywood and Xiangjiang actors, the salary of mainland actors is not high, but compared with the living standards of ordinary people, it is too high.
A first-line actor filming a drama is the income of ordinary people for a lifetime.
Lin Zixuan knows that this situation will become more and more intense in the future, it is normal for actors to get hundreds of millions of salaries for a play, and it is difficult to stop the trend of high salaries.
It was the market that gave birth to this trend.
With the development of the domestic economy, a large amount of capital has flowed into the film and television industry, resulting in a boom in the market.
As long as this situation does not change, the salary will not be reduced.
All film and television companies and celebrities, everyone is a beneficiary, so don't look at some producers complaining about the high salary of stars, in fact, it is just talking, people in the circle don't care too much, it's good to make money.
It should be those who don't make any money.
This has brought about a problem, that is, the phenomenon of tax evasion in the film and television industry, and it is easy to find loopholes by checking the tax payment status of actors from the actor's salary.
The financial management of film and television companies is complicated.
For example, for a TV series, it may take several years from preparation to recovery of costs, not that the TV station will send money over if it is sold, and the TV station will also be in arrears.
This has given film and television companies a loophole to exploit in concealing income and evading taxes.
It mainly depends on whether the tax department is willing to check, and one check is accurate.
Lin Zixuan focused on anti-piracy, and he planned to unite a group of heavyweight directors and actors to put forward an anti-piracy bill to clarify the harm of piracy to the industry.
It is hoped that the above attention will be paid to the corresponding laws and regulations in the next few years.
In addition to collating the opinions of all parties, he has one more important thing.
At the Cultural Congress and the Writers' Congress, a new leadership body will be elected, and Lin Zixuan has the opportunity to enter the presidium of the Chinese Writers' Association and become one of the leaders of the Writers' Association.
