Recently, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a notice that attracted widespread attention from netizens. The notice mentioned the chaos in the entertainment industry in recent years, and clearly pointed out the undesirable tendencies such as resolutely preventing star chasing and speculation, excessive entertainment, and high-priced film pay. Regarding the high pay for actors, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has stated that it will strictly control and encourage actors to participate in public welfare programs with social responsibility and zero pay. After the announcement, netizens applauded.
In recent years, the mainland entertainment industry has been chaotic. The most discussed issue is the star price. In the past few years, CCTV News specifically reported on the issue of star pay. At the same time, a chart about star pay was exposed. On this list, popular actors' pay is clearly marked, and a play is lower than the quoted price and people simply won't accept it. There are even people who can earn hundreds of millions of dollars for a play. Can you believe that? After the star price of
was exposed by CCTV, it immediately aroused heated discussions throughout the network, and everyone called on relevant units to reduce the actors' pay. However, the appeal of netizens has not been responded, and the problem of sky-high remuneration still exists. For example, the popular actress Angelababy once received an astronomical salary of 80 million yuan in a play, but she herself bluntly said "I am worth the price." Why is
Angelababy so emboldened? Behind this is her popularity and traffic. With this blessing, she herself can have a good income even without serious acting. In 2016, Angelababy was exposed to use a stand-in during the filming of the TV series "The Lonely Beauty", and the lines were also dubbed, and with the existence of technology such as cutouts, she only needed to perform a few close-up scenes for a lead actor to easily get 80 million. Take it, it's so easy to take the money. Behind the sky-high pay of
, it also reflects the chaos of the current showbiz. Some film and television production companies do not look at the actors' acting skills, but only look at your popularity. As long as you have traffic and popularity, I will use you to make film and television dramas. As for whether you can act or speak lines, I don't care, anyway, there will be a later stage. It is precisely the existence of this phenomenon that has disrupted the market order of the film and television industry, making the issue of sky-high prices a mess.
The SARFT is also looking at the sky-high pay for actors. Before, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television had issued a "salary limit order", which I thought would have an effect, but I never wanted to get worse. In February of this year, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a "salary limit order" again, stipulating that the total pay of all actors shall not exceed 40% of the production cost, and the pay of the lead actors shall not exceed 70% of the total pay. After the release of the
"salary limit order", the problem of actors’ sky-high pay has been eased, but it has not been resolved. Because many actors have stopped filming, but have gone to record variety shows. The pay for being a guest on variety shows is also very high. How to regulate this income also needs to be solved urgently.
No, this notice issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television not long ago is aimed at star guests who record variety shows. It is hoped that the directors and producers of variety shows will strictly control the guest pay. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has made repeated orders for the sky-high pay for actors. After the announcement of this notice, the chaos of sky-high pay will be controlled.
