Chapter 510: I propose, total ban!
"It seems that it won't be over for a while today."
Wang Changtian whispered to Lin Nan on the side. The expressions of that group of leaders above were simply serious to the extreme.
Lin Nan nodded subconsciously; of course he could see it.
The bureau has been at the center of the storm these few days, and the internet is cursing.
Saying that when they should act, they never act; when they shouldn't act, they seal this and ban that, kill scripts and delete films, never soft-handed.
Actually, everyone has a number in their hearts:
When the malignant stubborn diseases of the entertainment circle accumulate day by day, and public resentment is about to break through the critical point, the above will definitely make a response.
Maybe, it is today?
There are nine people sitting on the podium, several of whom hold deputy bureau titles, and Director Tong, who sits in the middle, spoke first:
"The film and television industry is an industry standing under the spotlight. All practitioners should have served as role models, spreading positive energy to the general public, and playing a positive and upward leading role."
"But over these years, many of our film and television practitioners, actors, artists, directors, etc., as public figures with huge social influence, have never led by example."
Instead, they are constantly involved in black, yellow, prostitution, drugs... testing the law, and becoming more and more unscrupulous, becoming more and more intensified... the film and television culture industry is a disaster area..."
Coming up with this kind of tone, everyone in the conference hall felt a thud in their hearts, and they had a number in their hearts.
Today's topic, or the direct fuse, is Gao Hu's matter.
"...... This kind of high-frequency illegal and criminal behavior of public figures has caused serious adverse effects and negative guidance to the public, so that public opinion is in an uproar, and the broad masses are indignant......"
"More and more people are resisting, condemning, disgusted...... they think that the film and television culture industry is a place where filth is hidden and tumors are everywhere."
Tong Gang stopped here to catch his breath.
At this moment in the conference hall, there was only the sound of swallowing saliva; it was quiet enough to make people afraid.
Lin Nan observed that the expressions on everyone's faces were very solemn.
As for whether the inner heart is indignant, or terrified, or wandering outside, this is unknown.
In short, 99% of them are veterans of meetings. But today, not one of them wants to hide!
"...... Those sitting here are representatives of the entire film and television culture industry; today calling everyone over is to discuss how to deal with this kind of 'stubborn disease' and 'tumor' in the industry...... can no longer be handled lightly!"
Alright, a sentence "can no longer be handled lightly" made everyone instantly perk up.
Above, is this going to move the knife?
The low but noisy sounds in the field gradually sounded, the association side the most.
"Lin Nan, are we afraid we will have to speak in a while?"
Wang Zhonglei on the right asked abruptly. Many people around pricked up their ears, preparing to listen to what Lin Nan would say.
"Illegal and criminal, naturally have legal punishment."
Wang Zhonglei on the right suddenly popped out this sentence, the implication of which remains to be considered.
"How can it be our turn to speak first. Look, the first row of national-level, major association presidents, vice presidents, secretaries, they come first."
Lin Nan said with an indifferent tone, actually a bit nervous in his heart.
Sure enough, it was La Peikang who spoke first.
"China Film proposes to deal with illegal and undisciplined public figures strictly and severely, and appropriately restrict the performing arts career of this type of person..."
Following La Peikang's lead, plus the naming by the leaders, the statement speeches of everyone at the scene officially began.
"Public figures are also people; people will not make mistakes. Even if they violate laws and commit crimes, there is legal sanction. Besides, the film and television industry has no similar punishment system; why restrict others? And why restrict personal work and career?"
Alright, the Performance Association was quite fierce, directly refuting La Peikang.
"Shanghai Film supports increasing the intensity of punishment, but opposes continuing to target individual behavior after public figures accept legal sanctions."
"Xi'an Film supports Chairman La's suggestion."
……
"The Film Association's meaning is that as long as it is a person, they should be given at least one chance to reform. But punishment must also exist, alarm bells ringing long."
"Hold more meetings, study more, let other practitioners take it as a warning. The same goes for actors and artists who have made mistakes; learn from the past and be warned for the future."
Damn, hearing this, Lin Nan wanted to laugh.
The speech of the Screenwriter Association can really be interesting, one set after another, stinking like fart.
Oh, Lin Nan remembered, it seems there are not a few "looking for inspiration" among screenwriters!
On the association side, one by one stood up to speak and then sat down.
At first glance, they all sounded high-sounding, but if you analyze it carefully, it is no different from handling it lightly.
How to "increase the intensity of punishment" and "deal with it strictly and severely"? To expand and explain in detail, that is another topic!
"What is Lin Dao's attitude?" Wang Zhonglei on the side asked abruptly.
Many people around pricked up their ears, preparing to listen to what Lin Nan would say.
"Me? I'll talk when it's my turn."
"I still feel that it is better to treat each case on its merits; it should not be implicated. What does Lin Dao think?" Wang Zhonglei's mask came out again.
"Is this Huayi's point of view? Hehe." Lin Nan smiled softly.
Today's big meeting, so far, the heaviest words were spoken by La Peikang, but it was only "appropriately restrict the performing arts career."
Lin Nan noticed that the expressions of several people on the podium seemed even more solemn than at the beginning.
On the director team side, it continued.
Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong, and others embraced the association;
Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jia Zhangke, and some academy factions were ambiguous;
The vast majority of people like Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, Wang Xiaoshuai were basically in an attitude of not offending anyone, supporting giving public figures a chance to turn over a new leaf.
It was Jiang Wen, who usually laughs and scolds, who was rarely very serious this time.
He chose to support La Peikang, and it seems he also struggled in his heart.
Actor representatives, one by one, are old rivers and lakes, and the wording is very cautious: listen to the leaders.
……
Approaching noon, more than half of the people had spoken.
The deepest feeling this big meeting gave Lin Nan today was: no one wants to be a villain! No one wants to offend people! No one wants to go against the circle!
There are too many things involved in this.
The film and television entertainment circle is like a big net, capturing human feelings, connections, interests, channels, cakes... all in one net, 99% of people are bound by it, and are willing to be bound.
Finally, it was the film and television company team, which is also the last and most important part of the people.
"Private film and television companies are the most important link in the industry; can you talk about it."
Tong Gang's voice was a bit hoarse; it is estimated that he was in a bad mood right now.
La Peikang turned his head and glanced at Lin Nan; the meaning was very clear: be cautious, don't be "too radical" like before.
Lin Nan was also very helpless; he really had a stomach full of complaints, and couldn't help but spit it out.
La Peikang is destined to be disappointed.
Wang Changtian didn't act as the first bird, Bona actually competed with Huayi for the first place.
However, Fatty Yu still didn't compete with Wang Zhonglei, and the latter was tacitly allowed to speak first.
"Artists who violate laws and commit crimes should accept legal sanctions. They will also carry this stain, which cannot be washed away. But in my view, this is not a reason to interfere with their future professional work.
The audience can choose not to accept them, boycott them, and the market will naturally eliminate them. But official interference might indeed be a bit unreasonable..."
Wang Zhonglei's words, at first glance, seem to have no problem, but in fact, it is not.
There is a kind of "sharp weapon" called draft, and there is a phenomenon called public opinion.
Capital can manipulate public opinion, brainwash the public, and whether the audience boycotts the artists who committed crimes can be completely swayed.
A story is compiled, a persona is established, drafts are sent everywhere, and it is the image of a prodigal son returning, and popularity might even be higher!
"Bona, agrees with Wang Zong's point of view."
"Wang Zong's words make sense, Orange Sky supports."
"Starry Sky supports..."
"Hairun supports..."
"Alibaba supports..."
"Wanda supports..."
……
Lin Nan rubbed his hands on his face, very cold, and woke up a bit.
The situation at the scene made him feel very powerless; so "united"?
Just when Wang Changtian was about to stand up, Lin Nan pulled his left hand, and the former instantly understood, letting Lin Nan go first.
"I propose, total ban!"
Lin Nan's voice spread throughout the entire conference hall, like a bomb thrown in, exploding.
Hundreds of people at the scene looked at him in unison; the vast majority were expressions of disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.
Wang Changtian, Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, Ye Ning... Ning Hao around, were all dumbfounded.
La Peikang revealed a hint of a helpless smile, gently shaking his head.
Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou, and others were all very shocked, but responded with smiles.
Tong Gang above looked left and right, raised his head, and looked at Lin Nan.
"Hmm? You are still the most radical one today, explain in detail."
Lin Nan didn't stand on ceremony either, cleared his throat.
"Black, yellow, prostitution, drugs... these types of public figures, all count as artists with stains. Ordinary people violating laws and committing crimes have to accept sanctions, and public figures are the same.
But compared to ordinary people, they have big differences. Enjoying the spotlight, earning salaries that ordinary people can't imagine earning in several lifetimes!
After committing a crime, still want to come back to live a life of luxury, earning a lot of money, why? The responsibility as a public figure was not fulfilled, but they don't want to let go of the benefits..."
"Lin Dao, your statement is too much, why beat them to death with one stick?" Wang Zhonglei interrupted Lin Nan's words.
"Haha, I didn't beat them to death with one stick? The society is so big, there are all walks of life, why do these people only have the film and television entertainment circle in their eyes?
Don't mention passion; since they love this profession, they wouldn't trample on this industry. They love that it's easy to make money in the circle, right!"
Lin Nan sternly retorted to Wang Zhonglei, and the latter was speechless for a moment.
He continued to supplement:
"Not to mention other universities' art majors, just the Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Shanghai Theatre Academy, Beijing Dance Academy, these schools have countless students struggling at the bottom, seeking progress but having no door, no opportunity. The circle is the same.
We have never lacked young people and industry insiders with talent, virtue, and potential; why let these artists with stains occupy the position, harm the entire industry, and affect the reputation?
No one else is targeting them; they are targeting themselves. The film and television culture industry is very special and has a positive guidance responsibility for society. This place is not suitable for artists with stains; leave this industry, they can develop in other industries."
……
"Artists with stains?"
Huayi, Bona, Enlight, StarMe, Huace, New Classics, Hairun...
Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei... Jia Zhangke, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Li Shaohong...
Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo...
Subsequently, Old Wang seemed to have made a very difficult decision and glared at Lin Nan fiercely.
"Enlight, supports Lin Dao Nan's proposal."
"That, I and Bad Monkey, support Lin Nan." 【510-11
Lin Nan and Ning Hao both have their own companies and were arranged to the film and television company side; the director identity instead became secondary.
On the left is Wang Changtian, on the right is Wang Zhonglei; this is Lin Nan's position, in the second row on the right, while Ning Hao is on the very edge, further away.
"Director Tong is here."
Wang Changtian said softly, only to see Tong Gang walking in with eight people behind him, sitting on the podium above.
The conference hall, which was originally a bit noisy, instantly quieted down.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 510 =====
"Huayi opposes."
"Bona opposes."
……
"Wanda... whatever."
……
Although a portion of the people felt that change was needed, they couldn't accept Lin Nan's point of view for the time being and chose to remain silent.
But the chorus of opposition on the floor was more uniform, more numerous, and louder than the support for Wang Zhonglei just moments ago, accounting for almost seventy percent.
"I've been screwed by you today. This has offended the entire film and television industry! Cutting off people's livelihoods..."
Wang Changtian kept muttering to himself on the side.
"Lin Dao, you went too far today. You are also a member of this circle. Can you guarantee that your own people will be absolutely foolproof in the future?"
"I can guarantee it!"
Lin Nan glanced at Yu Dong, not being polite.
The floor had completely descended into chaos, all because of Lin Nan's words: "Total ban!"
If someone else had said this, everyone would have just taken it as a joke because their weight wouldn't be significant, but it was different when Lin Nan said it.
He is a top-tier director in the mainland, internationally renowned, and owns a top-tier film and television company; he is also capital. His voice and influence in the industry are too great.
If the authorities really adopted his suggestion, the film and television industry would have to change. This is flipping the table!
Lin Nan saw La Peikang turn his head; he was shaking it.
At this moment, after Tong Gang above had discussed it with the few people to his left and right, he finally spoke again.
"Quiet."
"The view of the vast majority of people today is that, outside of legal sanctions, we should increase the intensity of industry penalties and handle things strictly and severely. After this, the General Administration will carefully consider..."
Lin Nan was stunned; Wang Changtian and Ning Hao were also sighing.
In Tong Gang's words, not a single word was mentioned about Lin Nan and his "total ban" suggestion. He only spoke of the view of the vast majority—that is, giving people another chance, the whole "turn over a new leaf and start over" routine!
What the hell?
At this moment, Lin Nan felt as if the people around him were mocking him. That feeling of powerlessness and frustration was truly unpleasant!
"It's almost noon. Let's end it here for today. Meeting adjourned."
