Show business advocacy group set up one after another fight director than anyone else play the system vulnerable

Rights organization set up one after another, directing the system vulnerable than anyone else play fight

Reporters Wu Xiaodong

Past two years, the mainland's film and television industry organizations have been on stage to itself vulnerable groups, "rights" has become the industry organizations mention the key words. Following the director, screenwriter, producer, set up one after another, after their trade association, recently, the two organizations announced the formation of actors, the former Radio and Television of China Association of TV actor Committee, which is the China Television Artists Association, actor working committees. Two organizations have claimed to actors' self-discipline, rights "for the purpose, to provide for the actors to speak platform.

"Industry-wide are working for the actor '?

Seven million start-up, two to three million can not stop. This is the moment that the actor episode of the paycheck. Rounds with a play, and then turning several times or even 10 times the fee of the phenomenon, is now everywhere. 2006 with the "Wulin" popular "Tong dispensers" Yan Ni, 3 years for a single set fee rose from 2,000 yuan to 15 million records, turned over a full 74 times. Hong Kong actor Nicholas Tse filming 30 episodes of "JX", actually came to 900 million yuan of the total fee to refresh the record of China's TV star paycheck. Industry exclaimed: "actor paycheck faster than house prices rose too!"

China Radio and Television Association TV writers working committee chairman said the high house, "one actor Lianshu now prices are a lot of money."

Side is the actor earned pours; the other side is made parties to live frugally to save money, inevitably compromising the quality of television.

According to a senior producer said, the mainland is now a TV series on average, a single set of production costs 80 million to 90 million yuan, but the actor's paycheck on the line accounted for 50%. "In the U.S., Japan and South Korea, actors fee accounted for 30% of the total investment has been considered very high." The producer believes that the mainland most of the TV series crudely, the reason is because the proportion of spending too much on the actors fee, resulting in less than the total investment, the survival of the entire chain of movies and television industries are affected.

Earlier establishment of producers, directors, writers associations, invariably regard the "rights" and "improve treatment" in the first place. And front-line actors than writers a set of first-line income of only $ 100,000, less front-line director, is $ 80,000. But a TV series, writers are usually for one year, six months of work the director, actors only two or three months schedule. No wonder the film industry have mixed feelings, "the industry are working for the actor."

Rights or to maintain strong

10 days, hold high the "rights to use legal means for the actors' banner, the two actors" home "have been listed, but in public view, although the threshold of two different organizations, but the distinctive characteristics of elite actors membership, how to look TV actors like China are the biggest names in the club.

The first incumbent president to Andrew as co-actor in the TV sector unions, including nearly 300 actors. Although the actor as co-vice chairman Xu Mingzhe union has stressed that the actors were "old age", but "won the Golden Eagle Award, won smashing prize, a social influence" and other membership requirements, or sparked heated debate on the micro-Bo: "Since the trade unions, why should the threshold, who will protect the common interests of the actors?"

Prior to the establishment of the actors in the drama While broad agreement that "any person engaged in the TV show can join the industry," but now, its organizational structure where the net is also Li Youbin, Bao-Guo Chen, Zhang Guoli and other big names.

While writers, directors and other industry committee opinion is the greatest "actors acting fee of problems" in the hope Actors Guild can make a difference, but the two actors who give the organization responsible answer was coincide: "paycheck is the market behavior , not in the constitution of the association within the constraints. "

"TV investment are many, the public, there are private, and actor to the price investors are willing to give, 周瑜打黄盖, willing to fight is willing to endure." Wide agreement in the drama actor Tang Guoqiang, said committee chairman. The CTV Association Xu Mingzhe said: "This is market-determined."

The problem of high fee for the actor, star of Mr. Z's first-line view is: the film side willing to give, that he has full grasp of the body from the actor to double the return. Is unreasonable to take the individual actor's acting fee to compression of other aspects of the production costs, "This is very abnormal, whether you like him a good actor, Zheng Buxi quality can not be regarded, which actually is a systemic problem , is a screenwriter in the center of the foreign system, and now we control center producer, and television actor is more central system. "

Although the two actors in the organization is set up to have a "self," one says, but am not optimistic about the industry. According to a producer of anonymity said the actor collective price tag double agent hold together behind the price increases saying, "These actors are organized in the biggest names in television circles of groups with vested interests, so that they can limit high-fee, in fact, they limit themselves to themselves, it is not possible. "worried about the producers, actors organization is likely to become big-league circles," in fact maintain the biggest names in the cast is strong. "

"Non-famous actor" is even more rights

"You see now are some of the situations on the tip of the pyramid, in fact, most of the actors of the fee is very low, even the staff do not like." Z Mr. example, a movie cost 10 million yuan, two biggest names took a $ 5 million, the rest of the twenty or thirty actors, took a total of 200,000 possible. "But if you do not have these actors, this movie can see it?"

"Non-famous actor," the situation is very difficult, especially in a small number of newly recruited walk-on actor, the show is finished only money, if the previous one or two big names to get very high, their income can imagine the.

Another is to shoot a movie but can not get their due reward, as first-line film and television actor, Z President admits that he quite lucky to encounter such a situation is still relatively small, but after a lot of actors filming a movie, took only to the first money, and the remaining three were unable to get the money one point, the crew have disbanded, only eat Yaba Kui.

With a few strong performers compared to the biggest names, and countless ordinary actor to a certain extent, is also vulnerable, often encounter a variety of industry unspoken rules.

In this connection, two actors did the organization have announced the cast for the rights of ordinary measures. Tang said: "First of association set up a legal advisory group to help those who need the typical rights of performers, followed by the just-graduated students from the Academy of Performing Arts, the Association will consider how to help, recommend them to help them safeguard their rights, teach them self-discipline. "And Andrew also revealed that, as co-actors in the relevant trade unions will set up a fund for supporting the old, weak, supporting the new. But these measures also have lip.

Previously there have been news broke, a former sports champion street performers. Then why actors do not face such a dilemma? In fact, in film and television industry, a lot of shiny celebrities are "unemployed" - no units can rely on, file management, and job classification are difficult questions.

"Now the young actor became popular relatively easy, but some old actors how to do? They play when the play does not move how be protected? How to solve the actors 'Old Men' status, the actors in the filming process in case of casualties, how to remedy? These are the co-actor, as the duty of trade unions in the future. "Xu Mingzhe said.
