China News Service Client, Beijing, May 23 (Yuan Xiuyue) From the film and television dramas "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "You Are the One", to the drama "Teahouse" and "Comeback", Feng Yuanzheng, the captain of the actor team of the Beijing People's Art Theatre, has brought audiences many insights The role of hearts.
As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Feng Yuanzheng also always pays attention to the trends of the literary and art circles. Under the epidemic, the performance industry was greatly affected. To this end, Feng Yuanzheng put forward a proposal on restoring the performance market. He hopes that the National Art Fund will be able to subsidize the more affected private enterprises, so that they can regain their confidence.
In addition, he also recommended the introduction of a new literary and arts group title review system to incorporate the new literary group title review into the existing title review system. "If the new literary group has a professional title, it is a protection for the actors and at the same time it can limit the film remuneration." Feng Yuanzheng said in an interview with China News.

On the crisis of the performance industry: do not want the dreams of practitioners to be shattered
In fact, Feng Yuanzheng had originally prepared other proposals. However, in March, affected by the epidemic, the performance industry ushered in a wave of "cancellation." By asking friends who are performing, Feng Yuanzheng learned that many performance companies have fallen into a downturn.
According to his understanding, there are 5,000 companies with performance qualifications in Beijing, and 3,000 to 4,000 companies without performance qualifications, for a total of nearly 10,000 companies. Of the 5000 performance-qualified companies, 80% are state-owned, and the rest are all privately-owned. "They earn money when they perform, and they don't have money if they don't perform."
Feng Yuanzheng introduced that many performance companies have arranged all the performances of this year last year, and many of them have been cancelled now. If the theater is opened in the future, these performances may not be re-released because the theater has been scheduled to the end of this year. Feng Yuanzheng lamented that they are very difficult, and the salary of the staff and the rent of the office may all be problems.
Some time ago, the Department of Market Management of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued the “Guidelines on the Prevention and Control Measures for the Resumption and Opening of Theaters and other Performance Places”, which mentioned that the audience of theaters and other performance places should not exceed 30% of the number of theater seats. In the opinion of the industry, if the attendance rate is less than 30%, the performance company does not make money at all, and may have to lose money.
It was in this situation that Feng Yuanzheng put forward a proposal to restore the performance market. The National Art Fund has played an important role in prospering artistic creation, cultivating artistic talents, creating and promoting masterpieces, and promoting the healthy development of the art cause. In Feng Yuanzheng's view, under the epidemic, the country will definitely introduce relevant policies to help the performance market, but for performance companies, it may be more difficult to rise on their own, especially some private companies.
In Feng Yuanzheng's proposal, he hoped that the special affairs office would come up with a national art fund to supplement them. In addition to the subsidies on the project, each performance can also be given some subsidies, so that the practitioners can survive better. "Those who can do art and artistic performances must be very dreamy people. I don't want their dreams to be broken in this epidemic. This made me decide to make this proposal." Feng Yuanzheng said.

Talk about the new changes in the performance industry: online performances or future hot spots
After pressing the pause button for offline performances, people in the industry also started to save themselves, such as carrying out various "cloud performances", and Beijing Renyi also opened several online script readings in a row.
In this regard, Feng Yuanzheng also has his own observations. In his view, first of all, this was a helpless move, and then it became a matter of active exploration by everyone. He believes that in the future, in addition to traditional theater performances, online performances may also be a hot spot. "Online performances are not as wide as theater performances, and audiences can come from all over the world."
Recently, theaters around the country are gradually returning to business. However, how many viewers are willing to enter the theater to watch the drama is unknown. Feng Yuanzheng believes that everyone has become more cautious now. For example, on May 1 this year, many people thought that there will be retaliatory consumption, but the result did not meet expectations.
"We are also thinking that the capital theater is open, how many dared to go in, and willing to go in. If I enter the theater and see people, I may also be" stunned ". Even if the theater is really open now, there can be 30% of the audience? And the audience wears masks, and it will also have strong psychological pressure on the actors on the stage. "Feng Yuanzheng said, it really takes time for the audience to gather courage into the theater.

Talking about the new literary and artistic groups: it is recommended to introduce a new literary and artistic group title evaluation system
In recent years, new literary groups, including online writers, contracted writers, freelance writers, independent producers, independent actors, singers, and freelance art workers, are rising. At the same time, their rights and interests are also receiving much attention.
This is related to another proposal by Feng Yuanzheng. He proposed the introduction of a new literary and art group title review system, incorporating the new literary group title review into the existing title review system, breaking down barriers as soon as possible, and opening up talent channels so that they can get what they deserve Recognized.
In his view, since the new literary and art groups have been defined, in addition to their identity, they must be given some affirmation in terms of artistic achievements. If the new literary group has a job title assessment, it is also a protection for the actors, and it can also limit the pay.
"We all have job title assessments, from national first-level actors to national fourth-level actors. I am a visiting professor at Shanghai Theater Academy and Beijing Film Academy. The reason why I can be a visiting professor is because the equivalent position of a national first-level actor is a professor. But if I am a member of the new literary arts group, then the university calls me to go, he ca n’t define it for me, because there is no job title. ”Feng Yuanzheng believes that the new literary arts group ’s job title can also stipulate the lower and upper limits of the remuneration. Standardization is also protection. Many phenomena of arbitrarily lowering prices and arbitrarily increasing prices will be restrained to a certain extent.
Feng Yuanzheng once said that as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he should always study and go deep into his life. For each year's proposal, he also has his own considerations. "First of all, we must actively perform our duties, and actively participate in the research." In addition, he feels that the most important thing is to do his job first, and the focus must be on the topic of an expert.
This is why he has been paying attention to the literary and artistic circles and the National Art Fund. "If you pay attention to other things, it is not my industry, and I may say the wrong thing." In addition, he believes that the proposal must be feasible and must be marginal. (Finish)
