Chapter 720 Meeting

During this period, Lin Zixuan's thoughts were not all on the company, he was more attending various meetings. .

The 7th Chinese Cultural Congress and the 6th Chinese Works Congress will be held in the capital.

By then, more than 2,000 literary and artistic workers from all over the country gathered in the Great Hall of the People to discuss new directions for the development of literature and art in the new century.

Among them, there were 1,423 representatives of the Congress, and 927 representatives of the Congress.

This is a major event in the literary and artistic circles.

As vice chairman of the Beijing Writers Association, Lin Zixuan and Beijing writers all talked about it, understood everyone’s ideas, summarized them and reflected them.

At the same time, he is also a member of the China Film Association and the TV Association, and has a certain position in the film and television industry.

He listens to other people's opinions, and others will also pay attention to his ideas.

When opinions and ideas from all aspects are gathered together, they can affect the country's future relevant policies in the field of literature and art and have a guiding role.

For example, in the Writers Association, writers have proposed to increase royalties, reform the royalties, openness and marketization of publications.

The remuneration of Chinese writers has always been low, and there are restrictions on royalties. The income obtained is not proportional to fame. The income gap between traditional writers and best-selling writers is very large.

Revenue is linked to book sales, traditional literature has been hit by the cold in the market, and best-selling writers make a big profit.

A typical example is Han Han, who became popular in the past two years, a teenager who dropped out of school under the age of 20, wrote several youth novels and made millions.

This is not decided by Han Han, but the choice of the market or the choice of readers.

Most of the people who buy Han Han’s novels are teenagers. Han Han’s novels cater to their needs. If you analyze them carefully, they involve deep-seated reasons, including social change 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 chaos in the literary world.

This chaos means that in literary creation, we must maintain seriousness, not be innovative or sensational, and in order to attract readers, we will challenge the bottom line of society's value and moral bottom line without any scruples.

One of them is the nihilism of history.

Literature and history are inseparable.

Some writers do not respect the original appearance of history in their creation, cannot analyze and understand history rationally and impartially, cannot objectively describe and express history, arbitrarily tramples on history, comment on history at will, and consume history at will. These are all nihilism of history.

It is specifically manifested in three aspects: jokes, separation and subversion.

The dramas that have become popular in the 1990s are examples, and this type of film and television drama is very popular with audiences.

This creative model involves two aspects: historical reality and artistic reality.

Some people say that literature needs fiction and can replace history with imaginary details. This is artistic reality; some people think that novels with historical themes should respect history and not make up randomly. This is historical reality.

After all, it is a matter of grasping standards.

Fiction does not mean making up randomly or smearing it at will. It must be carried out on the basis of historical facts, otherwise it will be nihilism.

Most traditional writers maintain seriousness in their creations and do not like sensational best-selling writers, but there is also controversy among traditional writers.

How to grasp the scale? Should literary creation release the wings of freedom or be bound by rules and regulations?

Listening to the writers' discussion, Lin Zixuan was quite troubled.

He would rather do something to fight for the rights of writers than to discuss this theoretically.

Not only in the literary world, but also in the film and television industry, there are many problems.

At the internal meeting of the Film and Television Association, the film and television company bosses, producers and actor representatives expressed their opinions, focusing on the chaos in the management of film and television projects, wage arrears, piracy and high pay.

These problems have always existed, and the reason why they broke out in the past two years is because of lawsuits.

Domestic TV series production generally adopts a contract system, and the producer is responsible for attracting investment, filming and selling movies, and he receives commissions from the final income.

It takes half a year to a year to a year from preparation to selling a drama.

During this period, various risks are likely to arise, and the producer may transfer funds, engage in short-term investments, or put them directly into his own pocket.

Or there may be a major accident in the crew, the actor is injured, the filming is suspended, etc.

This is management chaos.

In the past, when I encountered this situation, it was often left alone. It would be better to shoot a few more movies if I had free time. Now that everyone's concept of the legal system has been strengthened, lawsuits have become a way to solve problems.

It is precisely because of the lawsuit that the matter has been exposed and attracted the attention of all sectors of society.

The biggest response was that a producer under Liu Xiaoqing's company sued Liu Xiaoqing for owing him 10 million in distribution commission, and the media conducted extensive reports.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, and various chaos have arisen behind the prosperity of the market.

There are also high pay for actors.

Objectively speaking, compared with Hollywood and Hong Kong actors, the pay for mainland actors is not high, but compared with the living standards of ordinary people, that is too high.

Fore-line actors filming movies is the lifelong income of ordinary people.

Lin Zixuan knew that this situation would become more and more serious in the future. It is normal for an actor to get a pay of hundreds of millions of dollars in a play, and it is difficult to stop the trend of high pay.

It is the market that gave birth to this trend.

With the development of the domestic economy, a large amount of funds flowed into the film and television industry, leading to a prosperous market. Celebrities are on the spot and rising film pay is expected.

As long as this situation does not change, the pay will not be reduced.

All film and television companies and celebrities are beneficiaries, so even though some producers complain about the high pay for celebrities, they are actually just talking about it. People in the circle don’t care much, just make money.

Those who care about it should be those who have not made money.

This brings up a problem, which is the phenomenon of tax evasion in the film and television industry. It is easy to find loopholes by checking the actors’ tax payment status from the actors’ pay.

The financial management of film and television companies is complicated.

For example, it may take several years for a TV series to recover costs from filming to recovering costs. It does not mean that if the TV station sells it, it will send money, and the TV station will also default on it.

This has allowed film and television companies to have loopholes in concealing income and tax evasion.

It mainly depends on whether the tax department is willing to check it, and every check is accurate.

Lin Zixuan focused on anti-pirated versions. He was preparing to join forces with a group of heavyweight directors and actors to propose anti-pirated versions proposals to clarify the harm of piracy to this industry.

I hope to attract the attention of the above and formulate corresponding laws and regulations in the next few years.

In addition to sorting out opinions from all parties, he also has one important thing.

At the Cultural and Works Congress and the Works Congress, a new leadership body will be elected. Lin Zixuan has the opportunity to join the presidium of the Chinese Writers Association this time and become one of the leaders of the Writers Association. (To be continued...)
