Chapter 420: Feasibility of the Association
Chu Qing has been in Hong Kong for a few years, and what impressed him the most was their relatively mature commercial film production line, which was the very hung Entertainers Association.
In 1993, it was led by Xu Guanwen, Cheng Long, Amei, Fa Ge and other big names, and it is also the first performing arts association in Greater China. It not only includes the film and television industry, but also covers entertainers at different levels in different fields such as music, broadcasting, opera, stage, and behind-the-scenes.
And since last year, the organization has also passed a new charter, which can attract mainland artists to join the association.
In fact, it is in the nature of a trade union, and the trade unions know that it is to protect the rights and interests of workers, and by the way, movies are shown. Therefore, since the establishment of the association, there are three main types of things: protecting the rights and interests of artists, promoting communication among artists, and organizing various charitable activities.
More typical, such as the fundraising for the flood in the mainland in 98, the parade of Liu Jialing's nude * photos in 02, and the anti-SARS concert in 03.
Chu Qing was in it, and he had specific feelings, so he felt that this was very good.
No matter how they fight and dump internally, if they really encounter incidents that cause serious harm to individuals and the whole, they can let people see that the entertainment industry is not a mess, and it can also be united, or contribute to society.
It was precisely because there was a model in front of him, and the news of catching up with Wang Bozhao was hyped up, so he inadvertently mentioned it to Feng Xiaogang, and he was quite emotional in his conversation.
Unexpectedly, Director Feng said after listening: Eh, Chen Zhiming is thinking about this thing!
Yo, Chu Qing suddenly felt very excited, and grabbed the other party to chat.
Because Uncle Ming has a political status, he is a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and he also has a relationship with the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, which is definitely different from ordinary actors. If he is willing to take the lead, it will definitely work better than others.
As a result, Feng Xiaogang poured a basin of cold water on his head, and pulled the complex shapes of the country for the girl.
It can be said that there are no non-governmental organizations in the true sense of the word on the mainland. All civil society organizations, to a greater or lesser extent, have an official color.
At present, several units related to the entertainment industry in the mainland, if they talk about coffee positions, they will naturally be the first to recommend the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
The Federation of Literary and Art Circles belongs to the orthodoxy of the state and is supported by clear provisions, and all provinces, municipalities directly under the Central Government, as well as petroleum, railway, chemical and other organs and units, must set up this institution.
What is the Filmmakers' Association, the Musicians' Association, the Writers' Association, the Artists' Association...... There are 52 such groups, all of which have something to do with culture. All are under the management of the Federation of Cultures.
Let's not say much, just by looking at the list of previous leaders, you can know how high its level is.
In addition, there are two very strange things, one is called the National Performing Arts Equipment Technology Association, and the other is called the National Performers Association.
The goods in front, Chu Qing didn't understand what he was doing after listening to it for a long time, but the one in the back understood, it was the one who sold the certificate to make money.
What certificate?
Broker certificates. Actor Qualification Certificate, Stage Stage Engineering Qualification Certificate...... It's too much, and it's not easy to make up the name?
To put it simply, you pay a tuition fee. They give you training, and the teachers are like stars, but they are all LOWBs who can't get along. When you finish the course, you will pass an exam. That's it, the most awesome thing is that they actually train and take exams as a family.
Wait until you're done again. will issue a certificate, but if the eggs are not used, they will not recognize them when they leave the village.
It's funny to think about it on your knees!
There are so many actors in China, who do you see dangling around with this actor qualification certificate all day long? The agent has a certificate, but unfortunately it is not standardized, and the company and celebrities do not hang this.
Of course, since people dare to play, it means that the background is immeasurable, if you want to grab food, destroy it in minutes.
However, these are only obstacles on the surface, and the water is deeper in the dark.
First of all, if you want to set up an entertainers association in the mainland, you have to seek approval from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
However, due to the special nature of the entertainment industry, you can't bypass the General Administration and the Film Bureau, if you throw them off and fly alone, you will be looking for death. But in this way, the competent authorities are vague, and they have to communicate well before they can approve it.
Secondly, there is the issue of membership structure.
There can be hundreds of old artists in China, strictly speaking, they are all entertainers, and it is easy to say that they are absorbed, but what do you let them do, they can't do it, right?
For example, let Chen Zhiming be the president, where will Chen Qiang go? Where to put Guo Lanying? Where to put Yuan Xuefen?
The tradition of seniority is still incomprehensible.
Again, there are the ideas of major film and television companies.
For them, celebrities are equivalent to private property, and it is up to them to decide whether they want to hold it or hide it. If you don't want to make an entertainers association, it sounds good to protect the rights and interests of artists, to put it bluntly, isn't it a rivalry?
But if you think about it, there is no conflict of principle between the two. Hong Kong companies have stricter control over artists, and there are countless bans and hiding, and there is no association to protect the calves, but it has played a good role in communication.
Because of the different rights and responsibilities, celebrities and companies have conflicts, and how to deal with them is their own business. However, if the company is involved in personal insults and injuries, then it is time for everyone to come forward.
If the bigwigs are gathered together and the articles of association are set, and the well water does not violate the river water, the companies are still more supportive. After all, sometimes, for some special fucking incidents, it's better to unite with the outside world.
In short, running an entertainers association is a thankless task; Running an entertainers' association in the mainland is not only thankless, but also full of thorns and difficulties.
…………
Tong Gang's mood was very delicate, half unhappy, half gratified.
The unhappiness is that these people are endless, and they are so blind and tossing; Fortunately, they did not directly submit it to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles for approval, but let themselves see it first.
With such affection, he glanced at it casually, and saw that it was written at the beginning:
"Dear Leaders of the Film Bureau,
Recently, because of the beating of actor Wang Bozhao, social concern and public opinion are boiling. Now, although the matter has been closed, Wang Bozhao has also received good compensation. At the same time, however, we are deeply aware that there is a lack of an effective actors' rights protection organization in the mainland to better mediate and facilitate the resolution of such disputes. We have some premature ideas, and we kindly ask you to correct them......"
"Tsk!"
Tong Gang was a little surprised, this kind of skillful writing is not like what those people wrote. Just like the joint statement of more than 40 people before, the logic, the statement, and the attitude towards the top and bottom don't make sense.
There are masters!
He became a little interested and continued to look down. The more I looked at the results, the more surprising I became.
“……”
On the other side, Fan Xiaoye was nervous, and he was still scolding his husband in his heart.
At that time, after Feng Xiaogang and Chu Qing chatted, they were quite entangled, although there were difficulties and obstacles, but the matter of the association must be good. So, they contacted Uncle Ming in the capital again, and after discussing it, they felt that they still had to do it. And it is done immediately.
Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to mention it when the beating turmoil is completely calm.
Chu Qing couldn't go back, but he had foreign aid, so he recommended Old Man Cheng. Uncle Ming also welcomes it, just need this kind of cunning and cunning, ah no, the old and steady senior to the staff officer.
In this matter, several people accused zhì within a very small range. The company only notified Wang Zhonglei. They didn't expect to hit with one blow at all, they just showed their attitude first and probed the tone.
It's just that I pity Master Fan, I'm just a little girl. You let me take on such a big historical task, a little bit of humanity, okay?
“……”
The conference room was silent, Tong Gang looked carefully, and the girl was under the scrutiny of those big bosses. I felt pain in my butt.
I have to say that Old Man Cheng knows that set of things too well, and when he comes up, he puts his posture to the lowest. I look like I'm desperate and have to beg you to do something.
He has made a political deal with the nature and scope of the association.
1. Membership is limited to those related to film and television, including directors, actors, photographers, screenwriters, editors, lighting, etc.
2. The main purpose has become to carry forward the national cultural industry development strategy, cooperate with the General Administration to promote the stability and prosperity of the film market, strengthen its own professional qualifications, and better show its cultural image to the outside world...... By the way, we will engage in cross-strait artist exchanges to protect everyone's legitimate rights and interests from being infringed upon.
3. Do not participate in the awards, do not participate in film and television production, do not participate in any audit qualifications, and do not accept the affiliation of other groups...... In short, we are filming, very honest.
4. Due to our own lack of experience and ideological realm, I sincerely ask the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the General Administration, and the Film Bureau to provide guidance, so as not to take the wrong path and take detours.
The core content is the above four points, and there is no mention of the organizational structure, position setting, and dry goods of the election process.
This room is too spacious, at least Tong Gang didn't show his disgust after reading it, and said with a smile: "Well, I have a heart, this thing is good." ”
"Hoo ......"
Fan Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief instantly, there was no way, the pressure was great.
"By the way, you guys have a look!"
Tong Ju passed the text on Jiàn, and those big names also passed it one by one, with extremely similar expressions: first frowning, then stretching, and finally calm.
They are all smart people, and they can figure out where the joints are in the blink of an eye. No, no loss, yes, you can still get an enlightened and benevolent BUFF.
"Xiao Fan, we have also noticed that there are still some small discussions in the bureau, but there are no specific ideas. Some of your things are very good, so I'll take them back first, and study them internally to see if there is a scientifically feasible way. ”
Tong Gang put away the text, glanced around again, and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone is working hard today, and we will have to communicate more in the future, all for the sake of prospering the film industry!" I still have a meeting, so I'll go first. ”
"You're so polite, you should be."
"Tong Bureau, you go slowly!"
Everyone hurriedly got up to greet him, saw him flash, and then pouted in unison, especially painful.
……
At the same time, Feng Xiaogang took Chu Qing and Zhou Xun and flew directly from Hong Kong to Gannan to prepare for the location shooting of "No Thieves in the World".
After Chu Qing completed "The World", for more than two months, he was surrounded by all kinds of bad things, and he couldn't be clean at all.
The previous way of filming a drama and cultivating for a period of time has long since disappeared. But even if he is busy, between gossip and filming, he chooses to film after all, which can make him a little more excited.
On April 9, after several days of technical preparation and life experience, the crew of "No Thieves in the World" finally started. (To be continued......)
