The superstar is here

Chapter 375
When Fang Xudong and his team were secretly preparing for the "Supercar" program, Chen Ziang was not idle, and he and Li Qiuting started the tour with seven regular guests.

When Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting were discussing who to look for first, they didn't go to whoever was closest first, but to go to the captain and the only regular female guest first.

There are two captain candidates, both actors who have been famous for several years.

One of them is Li Qiuting's familiarity, but the other party is busy filming now, in the film and television city.

The other Li Qiuting is not very familiar with and has never worked with, but with her contacts in the film and television industry, it is not difficult to find him.

This actor, whom Li Qiuting is not familiar with, is in his hometown in Northeast China and has no acting recently.

Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting's first stop was to fly to Bingcheng.

Bingcheng, known as Huining Mansion in ancient times, has a long history. It is the birthplace of the Jin and Qing dynasties, and it is also a city that has never had a city wall.As early as 22000 years ago, in the late Paleolithic Age, there were already human activities here.About 5000 years ago, the Bingcheng area entered the Neolithic Age.About 3000 years ago, in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties, Bingcheng entered the Bronze Age and belonged to the distribution area of ​​Baijinbao Culture, the earliest ancient civilization in the Longjiang area.

The captain candidate that Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting wanted to meet was Jiang Yilang.

He is young, humorous, and at the same time, he is not lacking in arrogance and aura. The media and friends in the circle say that he is a very intelligent person and has talents in all aspects.

The day before meeting Jiang Yilang, Chen Ziang asked his assistant to send him the content of the program.

Before Jiang Yilang and his manager could reply, Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting came running over.

The meeting place for everyone is outside, in a teahouse.

Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting originally arrived in the morning, but they only met at night.

Because Jiang Yilang said that his manager was not in Bingcheng, so he could only fly over in the afternoon.

The two parties did not meet until Jiang Yilang's agent arrived.

"Qiu Ting, long time no see." Jiang Yilang greeted Li Qiuting first, both of them are celebrities in the film and television industry.

"That's right, isn't Ichiro getting moldy from rest?" Li Qiuting said with a smile.

These two, in terms of popularity in the film and television industry, Li Qiuting is even better, having won the Best Actress twice.

Jiang Yilang barely won Best Actor once.

When the two of them had finished exchanging pleasantries, Chen Ziang finally said, "Brother Jiang is in a good state of mind now, shouldn't you reappear in the world and let everyone see your majesty?"

Jiang Yilang smiled, everyone likes to hear good things.

This Chen Ziang is not bad.

In fact, Jiang Yilang didn't know Chen Ziang, and he hadn't even watched the popular "The Masked Singer".

But his manager knew about it, otherwise he wouldn't have flown over here today to talk about the announcement.

But when we talked, it was as expected.

Jiang Yilang's agent, Lu Weiting, doesn't care about the ratings of "Supercar", only the appearance fee.

"Ichiro's current salary is worse than that of Qiu Ting, but 500 million is still there." Lu Weiting laughed.

Li Qiuting on the side was very calm. All agents were like this, asking for a lot of money, no matter if it was a movie, a TV series, or a variety show.

"This is not a movie, but a program that provides exposure opportunities and popularity for film and television actors." Chen Ziang explained: "With such a salary, film and television actors have no other opportunities and channels to maintain popularity and exposure except through movies. "

"Ichiro doesn't have an important role in a big movie this year, but he still has a role in an ordinary role. If you turn it down because of recording your program, it will be a big loss." Lu Weiting said.

Chen Ziang had no choice but to continue: "This program is expected to have ten to twelve episodes, and each episode will be recorded for as short as two days or as long as three days. The total recording time is about one month. It is still an entertainment program with a playful attitude. Brother Jiang is going to act in a TV series now, about 20 for an episode. Our program team gave Brother Jiang a price of 300 million, which is not too low. It is already the top price in the variety show market."

In the current variety show market, appearance fees are not as cheating and deformed as in the film and television industry, which is quite normal.

Artists earn popularity in variety shows, and get some appearance fees by the way, everyone is very happy.

"That's why variety shows can't develop and are not popular in foreign countries. You should know the reason." Lu Weiting looked down on the variety show market.

If Jiang Yilang didn't have many schedules this year, she wouldn't even want to come and talk about this announcement.

Chen Ziang looked at Li Qiuting.

Li Qiuting had no choice but to say: "The film and television industry is not easy to deal with now, and the salary is being suppressed. Now I accept the film according to last year's salary, and it is difficult to get a few satisfactory ones."

Indeed, actors' "sky-high remuneration" has always been a hot topic of public concern.At the beginning of this year, the four associations, including the TV Production Committee of the Federation of Radio, Film and Television Social Organizations of China, jointly issued the "Opinions on the Proportion of Production Costs of TV Dramas and Online Dramas", which restricted the remuneration of actors and required that the total remuneration of all actors should not exceed the total production cost. 40% of the cost, of which, the main actors do not exceed 70% of the total film remuneration.

China's film and television industry urgently needs to establish a good development mechanism. However, it is not enough to only limit the remuneration of actors.It is necessary to formulate reasonable industry conventions through relevant parties, so as to alleviate the adverse effects of high film remuneration and restore a healthy market environment.

In order to really change the unbalanced market development, firstly, we must increase the supply of talents, and secondly, we must change the current business model, transforming from fan economy to content economy and creative economy.

Last year, Chen Ziang discussed this topic with Guan Tongtong, and the restrictions came out early this year.

Then, a survey conducted by the China Youth Daily Social Survey Center and the Questionnaire Network among 2001 respondents showed that 95.5% of the respondents believed that the current actor's salary was too high, and 83.2% of the respondents believed that the actor's "sky-high salary" was too high. "The phenomenon is unreasonable. 84.4% of the respondents support the regulations on salary restrictions jointly issued by the four associations. 63.8% of the respondents believed that specific relevant policies should be formulated for the signing rules of actors' remuneration; 61.7% of the respondents believed that industry associations should formulate conventions and abide by them; 50.6% of the respondents believe that the domestic market should be purified and a good development mechanism should be established.

Chen Ziang would not look for those fresh meat with exorbitant salaries, like in the fifth season of "Running Man" in his previous life, Lu Han's entire season's salary was exposed, 4000 million!

Later, it turned out that it was useless. The quality of the fifth season of the show was not good, the ratings plummeted, and the show crew and sponsors all fainted from crying.

This is not to say that Luhan has no effect at all, he can certainly bring in some traffic, but compared to the sky-high salary, wouldn’t the effect be better if the program team spends this money on the program team’s design talents?
"Ichiro rarely appears on variety shows... 800 million!" Lu Weiting said, "It's fun for us to lower our value."
