Chapter 1446: ‘Complaints’ that Can Be Put Into Action
There are no official personnel at the scene today, but there are many people with close connections. Chen Hao did not mean to vent his anger behind his words. He just said it on the table to represent his attitude. We can form a unified opinion and work together to do what we should do. What about the support we should get?
Should we also provide the necessary support?
The most obvious person, everyone's attention is on San Ye. No matter how you claim to be just a director now, the source of everyone's respect for you lies in your past identity and the invisible power you hold in your hands now.
Han San Ye secretly thought that Chen Hao was very smart. He would become a veteran after being in the arena for a long time. This seemingly fierce bombardment was exactly the best weapon for Chen Hao to get off to a good start today, and it was also the best way for him to establish his image as a leader.
Thinking in his heart, he did not pause on the surface and responded in a very relaxed manner: "In the future, an opposing mutual supervision system will be formed. If similar products receive negative feedback from most of the audience in the market, the inspection system will be activated to conduct a comprehensive review of the entire review process. Shoddy products will definitely be prevented from appearing in the market."
Thunderous applause rang out at the scene. Not only was San Ye's words meaningful, but there were also some unspoken things that made everyone more satisfied. Shoddy, there is nothing else besides these four words. Some small privileges that should exist still exist. If the human society is really cold and strictly follows the rules and regulations and does not allow any discounts, then it is meaningless. The theme of today's meeting is not to make everyone uncomfortable. More importantly, this is the first time, the first step of a long march, and it must be the first step that everyone feels comfortable with.
Only with a good start can some reforms be slowly implemented. If anyone is foolish enough to think that everything can be done in one size fits all, black is black and white is white, then I can only say that you are too young, young man. Utopia can only be in dreams. Being able to curb those things that dig the foundation of the industry to a certain extent and remove those things that are deeply hated is the ultimate that generations of conscientious people in the industry have achieved.
People who dream of changing the world will never be able to change the world.
Only with the heart that I want to add a little brilliance to this world, do it bit by bit, and over time you will find that even if you don’t change the world, this world has become more exciting because of your existence.
With such a start, the atmosphere on the scene was completely effective, and everyone began to speak. A meeting that everyone thought would be suspended for two hours lasted for more than eight hours, from morning to dark. Everyone who ate the lunch box at noon was very comfortable. All the people in the venue received calls from outside. Everyone consciously avoided the media and only revealed some of the situations here to their friends around them.
When more than two people know something, it can no longer be called a secret. It is only natural that it will be spread out and known by more people. The media waiting outside realized that something big was going to happen when they saw that the meeting was not over yet. After getting the news, they gathered in large numbers and reported to the senior executives of their media, hoping to find various relationships and expect to have the opportunity to enter the venue. At the very least, they also asked the industry insiders to be interviewed.
Several media inside were also invited to the rest area. If you want to wait, wait here and don't disturb the people inside.
The heated discussion is not just talking about some empty words. After chatting for more than an hour in the morning, everyone began to finalize the "rules" one by one. From this moment on, it is called speaking with substance and not talking nonsense. For example, when discussing the real box office of the movie, the speaker should talk about this matter, not about other things, not specifically referring to a certain person or company, and there is no need to talk about what happened in the past.
Stupid people always dwell on the past, and wise people always look forward.
Little Cannon: "Nothing to say, what is true is true, what is false is false, there is no need to falsify, it can bring a little publicity effect, but everyone rushing to imitate will damage the atmosphere of the entire industry. My opinion is very simple, strangle it, strictly formulate rules, and no one is allowed to violate them."
Zhang Yimou also said: "With these works of Chen Hao there, the inflated box office value is greatly discounted. I think this matter is not difficult to implement, everyone can express their opinions."
Chen Kaige nodded: "I also think there is no problem, from investors to distributors to theaters, the circle is so small, you can deceive the audience, but you can't deceive us. If everyone agrees, it will be implemented. If anyone violates it If you have committed a crime, there is no need for any punishment, we can just expose it directly. "
In the past ten years, these big directors have been a little uncomfortable. Since Xu Zheng started the crazy box office of new directors, all new directors have set the box office at 500 million or 600 million. Deng Chao, Huang Bo, Chen Sicheng and others, and Wu Jing came out and swept the box office directly. Before "Youth", Xiao Gangpao, as the originator of New Year's films, his film works did not even enter the top 20 in the box office. Among these new directors' high-grossing works, there are the trendsetters of the times. They do have the strength and opportunities, but there are still some works that falsely report the box office to hype, brush up the film reviews and reputation, let the media blow the whistle, and let the audience pay the bill.
The old directors were all a bit angry, and they were deeply resented and powerless. When Chen Hao came out again, they all had the idea of retiring if they couldn't do it anymore. In today's meeting, they were all unhappy, and the industry If I really want to make great progress, then I don't feel like I'm done with it yet and I can still try harder.
At their age, they have experienced so many things, they can lose, they can be photographed on the beach, but they don't want to be pushed away by some insults. To use Guo Degang's words, I love cross talk and I want it to be good.
These people have been in this industry all their lives. They also love movies and music, and they also want them to be better. They don’t want the younger generations to be unable to face the dark sides from the moment they enter the industry. Only by giving them more sunshine can they have more success. A good space allows them to create better works.
Luo Dayou made the first statement for the music scene: "Now is the Internet age, and music copyrights are guaranteed to a certain extent, but we should not ask for excessive prices, and major Internet companies and music platforms should not gouging prices. The top group of people When an album is released, there will be no lack of market and no lack of revenue, so don’t use raising the price as a gimmick.”
He is worthy of being the big brother in the music industry. If he doesn't speak, he will be shocked when he does. He has touched the interests of a small number of people, but he is concerned about the interests of the majority. In the past, even if he had the courage and strength to speak out. , and maybe no one would accept his words. It was different today. When they were in the right mood and wanted to shout out all the injustices in their hearts, Jay Chou and Pu Shu both spoke one after another.
I’m not asking for lower prices, saying that big names should lower their prices to protect the market. I’m just saying that you shouldn’t let websites or platforms deliberately raise prices to promote their products. To be honest, if you have the ability to release an album, the music platform will package you with 100 million, then It's up to you. In addition, even if someone promises to pay you a high income tax, don't destroy the normal state of the market.
For a director like Wong Kar-wai who is not too affected by the high salaries of celebrities, he also expressed his emotions: "Actors' salaries can be high, but the upper limit is not enough. If you think you have the ability, just use the box office share as your salary. Chen Hao has already done this for us. If you have set a role model and feel that you have the strength and popularity as an actor, then you should tie yourself to your work, and you will be both prosperous and deprived."
It is in the interests of most people and has obvious benefits for the development of the entire industry. Things that seemed a bit scary and incredible when mentioned in the past were successfully finalized at today's meeting.
No one will think that this meeting is nonsense. There are so many pillars in the industry. Not only do they have this strength and appeal, but they also represent many interest groups. Under the general trend, even though some people have deep feelings in their hearts. Xiao Jiujiu will not show it, not to mention that all suggestions are placed on a scale called "relative fairness". If you don't agree, does it mean that you feel that you can't compete with others in a public screen environment?
Zheng Xiaolong: "There have always been reports in the media that the salary of TV drama actors is too high, which can easily reach tens of millions or hundreds of millions. I hope the media can guide us correctly. We calculate it based on the salary of a single episode. The absolute core protagonist price of 600,000 per episode is me. I think it's acceptable. Eighty episodes is close to 50 million, but with the media promotion, it becomes 50, 60, or hundreds of millions for a certain TV series. This is not objective. "
Andy Lau: "I'm going to tell you about a phenomenon I've seen. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I heard that some actors didn't say their lines at all when they were filming. They said some modal particles or simply said some nonsense. Yes, you just don’t say the lines, it’s all done by dubbing later.”
Jiang Wen knocked on the table: "It does happen. I can understand the need for dubbing due to accent problems or other reasons, but it's hard for me to imagine that if I faced such a rival actor, I would be preparing for an emotional explosion. As for the scene, the other person's conversation with me was like this - ah, uh, uh, uh, uh, hey." At this point, he spread his hands with a look of disgust and disdain.
If the content of this meeting is spread to the outside, the first thing you will realize is that these old guys are going to kill you. Many issues will actually have an impact on some companies, but under this general trend, everyone is in a fair environment. , the reasons I used to talk to the outside world in the past are no longer tenable - if I don’t tell my artists this, other companies will do the same. If a popular artist is so focused on memorizing lines and preparing for it, it’s better to let him have more exposure.
Part of the conference is aimed at the most popular artists at the moment. No matter you are an actor, a singer or a variety show star, you can be a fresh star or a actress, but one thing must be understood. This circle is not for you to circle. No place with money will give you such soil again.
It only took me a whole morning to refresh, and I didn’t feel the passage of time at all. Many old smokers had forgotten about smoking. You can imagine how attractive the things discussed on the spot were.
High-end lunch boxes, hot drinks, iced tea, and plenty of after-dinner fruits have been arranged. There are a lot of celebrities and a lot of big shots, and they are eating box lunches in the corridor or in the rest area. This scene is even better than backstage at the Spring Festival Gala. If you want to shock, if a few photos are leaked, they will immediately become the headlines tomorrow.
First of all, the level of celebrities in the Spring Festival Gala is not as good as here. It can be said that all the people here together, not counting the official, have the power to control most of the entertainment industry. The celebrities are either super gods or ancient gods.
Look at Ge You and Andy Lau standing on the window sill to eat lunch, with mineral water and lunch boxes on the windowsill. Isn't the scene more exciting than the two people's rivalry in A World Without Thieves?
Look at Wang Zhongjun and Yang Shoucheng sitting side by side on the sofa, eating lunch boxes and chatting. Can you see that scene?
There are also many people who sit directly on plastic stools, with a plastic stool placed in front of them, bending over, and water and lunch boxes are placed on the plastic stool.
No one picks the dining environment. Smoking is allowed in the corridor. What if you haven't eaten yet? Everyone lights up their cigarettes first. In the morning, one person speaks at the meeting and a bunch of people listen. Everyone talks about the core part, and there is no discussion. At this time, people get together with people around and chat very enthusiastically, and talk about topics that were not discussed in the morning.
This scene was reported to the higher-ups. Compared to the Z-X conference entertainment industry panel discussion, the atmosphere here is more pure. Some of the things that everyone finalized in the morning were also submitted to the higher-ups in written form. They are all practical stuff. Even people who don't know much about this industry will applaud after reading them. There are very few formulaic things in it, and they are all what we can see in front of us. If this thing is announced to the people, it is estimated that all the audiences who pay attention to the entertainment industry across the country will applaud. There are many things in it that they don't understand, but the things that they can understand are the most favorite as the audience. The finalized topics are based on the needs of the audience as the first demand, creating a better atmosphere for the audience, so that they can listen to music more at ease, watch movies more at ease, and chase dramas at home more comfortably.
Eating is to fill the stomach, as long as you are not hungry. No one really wants to eat here. Everyone returned to the meeting room, some returned to their seats, some sat on the sofas around, and some who like to smoke were still chatting in the corridor. The fruit was cut and brought up. There was no time to stipulate when the afternoon meeting would start. Everyone now has a lot of things to discuss with others, so let everyone chat enough first.
Chen Hao received several messages on his phone. Some people who were qualified to attend the meeting were unable to come for some reasons. After learning about what happened in the morning, they all expressed regret for not being able to attend. Those near Yanjing rushed over as quickly as possible. Such a grand event, even if they could not speak on the spot, they could not miss it. Everyone firmly believed in one fact - today was destined to be recorded in the history of the Chinese art world, whether it was fifty or a hundred years later, it was qualified to be taken out and exposed.
Someone had already specially invited official photographers. At the end of the night, there would be a group photo stage. Not to mention the group photos of three or five people or ten or eight people, the group photo that must be taken by all will become a "historical" witness in the long river of Chinese history, and it is also qualified enough to rise from the art world to the national level.
Before one o'clock, there were follow-up news from online media.
Early in the morning, major media outlets published the news about this meeting. Although there was no specific content, it was enough to occupy the headlines. The photos of various big names captured were enough to make this news rich enough to be clicked and viewed by millions of people.
At noon, some bits and pieces of information about the meeting began to seep out. The media that got the news were all in a frenzy. They didn't bother to wait to verify the truth of the matter and began to tentatively release the news. This release was incredible. Unexpectedly, there were so many people waiting to pay attention to this matter. When a piece of news was released, there were usually only dozens or hundreds of comments and replies. Now there are thousands of replies in an instant. You must know that there are so many online media platforms nowadays, and the channels for people to receive news are also different. More than 90% of them just read without commenting. The fact that there are such comments and replies shows how high the attention of this news is.
Resist shoddy work.
Most of those who "leaked" the news brought out this uncontroversial topic, but the difference was that they revealed their own understanding of the scope of shoddy production. Many TV series in the past were named, such as the Fire Phoenix in the Special Forces series. The TV station and the producer were all named. You have a little influence and shamelessly split a TV series with only 30 or 40 episodes of real content into twice as many episodes. An episode is less than 30 minutes long, with the first five minutes reviewing the previous plot and the last ten minutes summarizing the later plot. Such shameless behavior is also considered "shoddy". No matter at which level, you present such things to the audience, which is shameless and must be boycotted and sanctioned.
Fire Phoenix is still good, and there are a large number of dramas that can't even be named, and they don't even have the qualifications to be stepped on by the big guys, especially those war dramas, which are more disgusting than looking at the former Ultraman from a modern perspective.
No matter how cold the weather is, the reporters from the media don't care. All the parking spaces outside the venue are filled with cars. When a traffic police comes, they drive away, go around and drive back. Before driving away, a reporter and a photographer will get out of the car, carrying equipment. This circle may take five minutes or twenty minutes, but no matter how long it takes, they dare not gamble. What if the big names come out at this time? If they miss the first-hand information of such news, they will definitely lose their jobs, with no room for maneuver.
