Chapter 1050 Banning Order for Bad Artists
In recent years, Zhang Ran has been working hard to promote the industrialization of Chinese films. He always believes that completing the industrialization of films can solve many problems faced by Chinese films. Only by completing the industrialization of Chinese films can it be truly possible to set sail and go to the world. To this end, he established a special effects company, a film academy, a century film capital, an actor, director, and other corresponding film guilds.
Finishing guarantee is the most core link of the Hollywood film industry, and it can also be said to be the patron saint of the entire film industry. Zhang Ran has been working hard to promote the Finishing guarantee system in China, but it has never been pushed forward. Century Peak has made mandatory regulations on its film and television dramas, and each drama must be signed. Except for Ning Hao and others who understand Zhang Ran’s painstaking efforts, most people do not understand it, and even say behind the scenes that Zhang Ran does not understand China’s national conditions and mechanically copy the Hollywood system. If Century Peak had not been strong enough and had the best platform and resources, many directors might have gone to other companies long ago.
Even if the peak of the century is like this, it will be even more difficult for other companies. Since the domestic film and television industry has been very popular in recent years, there are very few excellent directors and too much capital has poured in, these hot money is chasing well-known directors and also domestic production companies that are still in semi-handicrafts and semi-industrials. Facing investors who are stupid and have a lot of money, why should producers spend money to ask a monk to recite the curse of Tang? Since investors do not have this demand, the guarantee system for film completion has not been promoted in China.
The situation is different now. Once the country begins to ban bad artists, then the film, variety shows and advertisements related to these artists will either be suspended or adjusted. Investors spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. If they cannot be broadcast normally, they will lose all their money.
The ban on the artist with bad deeds is to hang the sword of Damocles above his head, and the producer will be under great pressure. In order to ensure his own interests, he will definitely write it in the contract when signing a contract with the artist. If an artist violates the law and affects the release or broadcast of film and television works, he will have to refund the pay and bear the crew's losses.
But this method works for small profits of millions or tens of millions, and the other party can afford to lose, but it is difficult to work for large productions with investments of hundreds of millions. How can the other party afford to lose hundreds of millions of yuan?
If an insurance company intervenes and has a film guarantee system, the risk of the production company will be greatly reduced. After the producer signs a film guarantee agreement with the insurance company, the insurance company must ensure that the film is completed smoothly. If the filming cannot be completed on time, the insurance company will lose money. In order to ensure its own interests and not lose money, the insurance company will intervene from the preparation stage of the film, conduct a certain background check on the main creator and sign a detailed agreement with it. During the filming period, the insurance company will also track the crew's progress every day, find problems as early as possible, and even take over the production of the film at critical moments. For example, Robert Downey Jr., for a while, no insurance company is willing to provide him with insurance because of drug abuse. Woody Allen originally wanted to let him star in his own movie, but because the insurance company did not insure, he could only be replaced by someone else.
In the past, the producers were unwilling to spend money in vain and were unwilling to let insurance companies intervene, but once the country banned bad artists, there would be no better choice for the producers. Small-cost film and television dramas may not still cost this money, but for large productions with investments of over 100 million yuan, there is no better choice than guarantee for ending films.
In fact, Zhang Ran did not particularly agree with the General Administration's practice of banning bad artists through administrative orders, and felt that it was suspected of abuse of public power. However, banning bad artists can force the film guarantee system to complete the film, thereby accelerating the industrialization of Chinese films. Then he would definitely support banning.
Thinking that the guarantee of the film finally had the opportunity to advance, Zhang Ran was in a good mood and opened his Weibo and wrote: "Celebrities are public figures, and their words and deeds have a great social impact. Especially the impact on teenagers is a huge, because teenagers always like to regard celebrities as role models or idols and their behavior as their own code of conduct. Ning not only did not express repentance to his drug use, but instead said arrogantly that he did not regret at all. What's the point of regret? I think it's too terrible, there is no bottom limit!"
After Zhang Ran’s Weibo was posted, it was soon watched by netizens. There were hundreds of replies in less than a minute, and the number of replies was increasing rapidly. They all supported Zhang Ran’s words, thinking that Ning Caishen’s remarks were too much.
Ning Caishen quickly responded: "Who hasn't made any mistakes in his life? Doing something wrong, saying that regrets is useful? If you are a man, just remember and try to breathe. If you don't sprain your ankle in the same place in the future. Is this kind of acting that shouldn't be like this? In addition to satisfying the movie expectations of strangers, is there any other meaning?"
Zhang Ran responded on Weibo: "When Ning was arrested, he apologized and expressed regret. That's because he was afraid, felt that he was finished, and quickly admitted his mistake, and wanted to get public forgiveness. But after he came out, he found that he had not had much invitation, and the economic losses were not large, but even had a growth trend. He felt that I had no loss of yarn, so why would I admit it? Let's put it this way, if "Dragon Gate Escort 2" was banned because of this, and other companies were chasing Ning, you don't regret it after seeing him! I think CCTV and various satellite TV stations should limit drug addicts. Only by making them feel pain can they recognize the mistake and change their past mistakes!"
Most netizens agreed with Zhang Ran's point of view, thinking that it was because the public was too tolerant of artists who made mistakes that Ning Caishen was so fearless. They all said: "It's right. Ke Zhendong was arrested for taking drugs, and fans entered on Weibo to watch Ke Zhendong cheering, and even began to call for big and mahjong legality, which was completely ruined; Ning Caishen was arrested for taking drugs and cried bitterly, but he expressed no regrets as soon as he was out! The country should really take care of these people!"
"The General Administration should come out at this time and permanently ban this idiot, cut off his financial path, make him proud and make him hype!"
"Ning Caishen's attitude was so disgusting. He said that he read Weibo comments after being released. More than 20,000 out of 40,000 were persuading him to write the script of "Dragon Gate Escort 2". He thought it was okay to take drugs. Anyway, he had fans who supported him and made money, so he said arrogantly that he did not regret it. These words are really easy to induce teenagers and should be banned."
"Every year, there are countless police officers who died on the public security front due to drug prevention, drug dealers undercover, retaliation, etc. They are not allowed to die after death or be exposed to face, and they are afraid that they will affect their families. Most of them will not know who they are. No one will worry about how their widowed wives and parents will live after the hero dies. When celebrities take drugs, brainless fans jump out and shout, Come on! For these drug-abused star artists, they will have zero tolerance and will be dark for the rest of their lives!"
On Ning Caishen’s Weibo, netizens were also full of criticism. In less than an hour, netizens cursed more than 40,000. Netizens also launched the topic of #banning Ning Caishen# on Weibo and quickly topped the hot search list.
Ning Caishen is not without fans. Ning Caishen himself said it. After he came out, he found that there were more than 40,000 comments on Weibo, and most of them were asking about "Dragon Gate Escort 2". Naturally, many fans defended Ning Caishen on Weibo and called out a cry.
"I support Ning Caishen. There is nothing wrong with living a free life. What's wrong with sucking it? Ning Caishen threw your child into a well, or killed your whole family? In this chaotic era, what's wrong with living out of yourself?"
"What else do you want? It's his business that he doesn't regret it himself. He has not instigated others to take drugs, has not promoted the good of taking drugs, and has confessed his guilt and punished him. Why can't he express his opinions freely? What's wrong with him to tell the truth? What are you all worried about!"
"What does it have to do with you if you take drugs? If you have any brain problems, just worry about it. Just write a good script. What is the other person's business? Are you crazy? Isn't it?"
Some fans even went to Zhang Ran’s Weibo to question: “You hate drug addicts so much, why do your company still use Robert Downey Jr., don’t say you don’t know that he is taking drugs! Robert Downey Jr. was arrested for forced drug rehabilitation, and escaped from the drug rehabilitation center. Later, he went to prison and was sentenced to death. He shouted to fight and kill Ning Caishen, and was so tolerant to Robert Downey Jr., are you too double standards, right?”
Zhang Ran responded to this: "Robert Downey Jr. was taking drugs back then, not now. It took him five years from the complete rehabilitation of drugs in 2003 to the release of "Iron Man" in 2008. At first, the public questioned him. Through his own efforts, he gradually eliminated the public's bad impression and regained recognition. And so far, some of Robert Downey Jr.'s rights are still deprived, compared to the right to vote, jury, etc. It has been ten years since then, and these rights have not been restored.
Re: Robert Downey Jr. has been working hard to repay his debts to society and want to restore his rights, but he still has not succeeded. To restore these rights, it is necessary to prove that he has not been involved in the crimes convicted for more than ten years. Robert Downey Jr. has been punished enough and has been making up for his mistakes. He has changed his past mistakes. Of course we can forgive him! If Ning Caishen and other artists really change, we can also forgive him. But the premise is that they must prove that they have changed!"
Two days later, CCTV's "Focus Interview" specially made a special topic, criticizing Ning Caishen's remarks by name. "Focus Interview" commented: "Whether a person is 'regret' depends largely on whether he is 'fear' in his heart. Not regretting it is often because he is not afraid. Not afraid, first of all, because he doesn't care about the evil consequences he planted. Especially public figures with great influence and high attention, if they say that they admit their mistakes, come out and don't regret it, even talk about drug rehabilitation today, and take drugs tomorrow, this kind of evil consequences is particularly great. If you are not afraid of this and do not regret it, then it will become hopeless? Not afraid, it may also be because you are indulged in. This kind of indulgence is even more terrible!"
After the broadcast of "Focus Interview", Ning Caishen finally realized that things were getting bigger and was so scared that he deleted the inappropriate remarks and changed his Weibo account to Heigala.
However, what should come soon. On the evening of August 19, the well-known drama critic Li Xingwen broke the news on Weibo: "The General Administration has issued a notice that any TV series that is involved in the production of directors, screenwriters, actors and other main creators with bad records should be carefully considered." Then a media called several satellite TV stations to confirm that the news was true. However, the General Administration did not convey instructions in the form of documents, and only issued them to each satellite TV station in the form of oral notification on the same day, just to convey the spirit; as for when to be implemented, there was no clear notice.
On August 24, 2014, the General Administration officially issued a notice on "banning bad artists" - "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Production and Communication of Radio, Television Programs, Film, TV Series and Online Audio-Visual Programs". Moral issues such as "drug use", "prostitution" were clearly named, and cheating were not mentioned; in addition to TV series, movies, TV programs, online dramas, micro-films, etc. that "bad artists" participated in the production of them were also required to suspend broadcasts.
The ban order for bad artists has been officially released, and the country has made a foregone conclusion on bad artists!
Chapter completed!
