Chapter 289 The Entertainment Industry's Red and Black List
A new official has three things to do when he takes office. The first thing Qi Tongwei did after taking office was to target bad artists and boy bands.
Putting aside other things, the first ones to feel the power of this fire were the Korean boy bands.
China is their favorite place to visit. The money they pay is really too much, many times more than in their own country.
Moreover, they are much more popular in China than in their own country, and some people even regard them as a belief.
If they leave the Chinese market, their income will drop sharply.
Qi Tongwei actually understands that the problem does not only occur in Korean idol groups, those are just external factors.
The most important factor is internal factors. Many people lack cultural confidence and national confidence. Influenced by marketing accounts, they always think that things from outside are good, which is in line with the saying that outsiders are better at chanting.
It is under such circumstances that Korean boy bands became popular.
He knows clearly that cultural confidence and national confidence cannot be cultivated in a day, and for now, foreign film and television works and celebrities must be banned.
As soon as Qi Tongwei's order came out, the effect was immediately apparent. All the performances that had been preliminarily agreed upon were stopped, and future cooperation was also suspended indefinitely.
This shocked and frightened South Korean economic companies. More than half of their revenue came from China. If the Chinese market was completely closed, they would suffer huge losses.
Qi Tongwei's move undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to South Korea's entertainment industry.
These idol groups used to thrive in the Chinese market, but now they have suddenly lost their most important source of income, putting many brokerage companies in trouble.
Faced with this situation, South Korean economic companies began to call on China to open up its market, saying that doing so would be unfair competition and affect the relationship between the two sides.
Qi Tongwei's actions have also created a wave of public opinion in the country. Many people oppose his actions and believe that he has affected bilateral relations.
In the face of criticism, Qi Tongwei instructed the Propaganda Department to respond, saying that China's market is open to the whole world and it has always adhered to reform and opening up and foreign cultural exchanges.
As long as the three views are consistent, China welcomes excellent works from any country to enter the Chinese market. As for the reason why the Korean boy group terminated the contract, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is not clear.
Please ask Korean economic companies to consult the specific contract termination unit. This has nothing to do with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television does not have any explicit regulations prohibiting the invitation of Korean idol groups to perform. They can only contact major TV stations privately, but the effect will be in vain.
It is impossible for major TV stations to bring up Qi Tongwei, and their responses are all routine.
Some TV stations gave very good answers, saying that there is no so-called ban, it’s just that Korean male idol groups do not conform to our station’s aesthetic and style.
Look, aren’t your Korean girl groups still active on our stages?
Therefore, there is no such thing as a ban.
Faced with such an explanation, South Korea has no choice but to seek a reciprocal ban within its own country.
Qi Tongwei did not make any comments on this, he just wanted to achieve his goal.
Anyway, as long as he remains in this position, these idol groups will never be able to enter the Chinese market.
Qi Tongwei has taken a lot of actions. Not long after the contract template was issued, he set up a red and black list of celebrity artists.
Those stars who have a good reputation, excellent professional skills, are keen on charity, and have both moral integrity and artistic excellence are on the red list.
Those who are on the red list will receive strong support from the country, and artists on the red list will be given priority in large-scale events and outstanding projects.
Artists who have poor professional skills, lose artistic ethics and morals, or engage in illegal behavior will be included in the blacklist of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
For any star who has been on the blacklist for three consecutive months or has committed a crime, all works in which he or she has played the main role will be removed from the shelves.
Major television stations and online platforms are not allowed to allow them to perform on stage.
The year they are banned from performing is determined based on the severity of their mistakes or violations, with the most severe punishment being a lifetime ban.
As soon as this announcement came out, the entire entertainment industry became solemn and many people became obedient instantly.
"Minister, this is the first blacklist we have compiled. Please take a look." Li Chengyang handed Qi Tongwei a list with specific reasons attached.
Without waiting for Qi Tongwei to ask, he explained: "The red list is more difficult to select, and we are still screening."
Qi Tongwei nodded, took the list and started to read it. He found that there were many reasons for those who were on the list, the most serious of which was that they were unclear about their stance and were interested in living a simple life.
After reading it, Qi Tongwei said to Li Chengyang: "As public figures, celebrities must always be careful about their words and actions.
They must never be treated as ordinary people. Once they violate the law, violate public order and good morals, or even hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, they must be dealt with.
Fighting, drunk driving, and even prostitution and other illegal acts may be allowed to continue after being banned for a few years.
But traitors and traitors must be killed with one blow, and those who hurt the feelings of the Chinese people must not be allowed to continue to be active on the screen. "
Li Chengyang was thinking the same thing, so he immediately replied, "Yes, Minister Qi."
"How did you find out this?" Qi Tongwei asked curiously after putting down the information.
"I think we'll need an Internet expert to investigate cases in the future, so I transferred Du Jing over here," Li Chengyang explained.
Qi Tongwei suddenly remembered the tomboy who always had a lollipop in her mouth, and nodded unconsciously. He felt that her skills were impeccable and it was not difficult for her to get this information.
“We need to find a way to get the paparazzi or the media to expose these things, and then make a list without letting people associate it with hackers.”
Qi Tongwei is not a person who sticks to rules, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Du Jing's behavior.
But we cannot let everyone know that there are hackers in the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, as this will be detrimental to future investigations.
"Minister, what should we do with these people?" Li Chengyang asked carefully because some of them had special identities.
"Anyone with problematic stances and who stands against the people will be directly banned, in all aspects. We must resolutely safeguard the unity and territorial integrity of the country." Qi Tongwei said without hesitation, his tone firm and resolute.
After saying that, Qi Tongwei continued: “It seems that there are quite a lot of traitors.
Tell the technical staff to check all the stars in the entertainment industry, and if they find any stars with problematic positions or insulting heroes and scientific researchers, they will be banned.”
"Yes, Minister Qi." Li Chengyang agreed immediately.
"This matter must be taken seriously. Celebrities are different from ordinary people. They have a strong guiding role and the influence they bring is incomparable to that of ordinary people.
There are some young audiences whose minds are not yet developed, and they may be influenced by so-called idols and eventually embark on the path of treason, so this matter is more urgent than tax evasion." Qi Tongwei solemnly warned.
"Yes, Minister Qi, how should we deal with those pro-American elements?" Li Chengyang asked in a low voice.
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, "As long as they are not openly opposing the country or making insulting remarks about China, I will record them for now and deal with them later.
However, they must not be invited to any future large-scale events, and no domestic awards may be given to them.”
Qi Tongwei knew that it was impossible to ban such people. At present, China's development was still some distance away from that of the Ugly Country, which still regarded itself as a world leader.
Many people in China also regard the Ugly Country as a beacon in their hearts and yearn for freedom, especially in the entertainment industry.
If they were all dealt with, it would become a real political incident, which would only have a subtle influence. Of course, this is also because the country's development is not as good as the other.
He believes that as long as development is maintained, most of these people will repent, and as for those stubborn elements, they will eventually be eliminated by history.
