(Observation of the Two Sessions) From actor remuneration to Internet celebrity live broadcasts

  China News Service, Beijing, March 10 (Reporter Li Aiping) During the two sessions, from actor remuneration to online celebrity live broadcasts, such down-to-earth "hot topics" are also the focus of attention of delegates and committee members.

They also suggested that more stringent regulations and supervision should be used to end the chaos of "sky-high pay" and vulgar "Internet celebrities".

  As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Shi Lei was called a "big proponent" at the National Two Sessions, and put forward more than 10 heavy proposals. Among them, "Proposal on Further Regulating Actors' Remuneration and Promoting the Healthy Development of the Film and Television Industry" is one of his values. proposals.

  Shi Lei told reporters that since the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television requested to quickly formulate an industry self-discipline convention to boycott "sky-high remuneration" in 2016, the actor industry can be said to have a feasible operating standard, but there is still a phenomenon of excessively high actor remuneration.

  Shi Lei noticed that the current reality is that not only the remuneration of first-line actors is tens of millions of yuan (RMB, the same below), but even the remuneration of some second- and third-tier actors and even newcomers have also skyrocketed. Harmony and stability bring challenges.

  "According to industry insiders, the just-aired "The World", as well as the sequels of "Celebrating More Than Years", "The Son-in-law" and "The Swordsman in the Snow" which are in preparation, cost 500 to 600 million yuan at every turn." "Because the total cost of The cost is high, and even if the actors' remuneration accounts for 40%, the absolute amount will reach 200 million to 250 million yuan, which is still ridiculously high." Shi Lei said.

  In view of this, Shi Lei suggested that the relevant state departments can regulate the drama series, implement the upper limit on the remuneration of the leading actors in variety shows, and suggest that the remuneration standard and dynamic evaluation mechanism of actors with industry credibility should be established.

  However, Shi Lei also emphasized, "The real dilemma of the current industry is that the actor's quotation is inflated, it is easy to get on and off, and the industry lacks a recognized reference standard. Actors' time and energy are spent on operating explicit data such as the number of fans, and they are unwilling to take good care of them. Study the script and hone your acting skills."

  To this end, he suggested that the Chinese Actors Association initiate a self-discipline convention, and evaluate the "professional titles" for actors with reference to the years of entry, awards, and reputation of works in the past three years, and hold regular ratings to meet the needs of dynamic adjustment of remuneration.

  At the National Two Sessions, the reporter also noticed that Ma Chunyu, a representative of the National People's Congress, brought a report titled "Proposal on Strengthening Supervision of Live Broadcasting Platforms and Internet Anchors by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television".

  Ma Chunyu told reporters that in recent years, the surging webcasts have gone from "shooting short films and having fun with pictures", to later "traffic for rankings, popularity for rewards", and now livestreaming with goods, the network The live broadcast is getting more and more popular, blooming everywhere, and it has become popular with a large number of Internet celebrities, and more and more people have joined the live broadcast.

  During the survey, Ma Chunyu noticed that almost all the live broadcast platform experience samples do not have mandatory real-name authentication requirements, and only need to register through mobile phone numbers, emails, etc. or third-party accounts such as WeChat, QQ, Weibo, etc. to log in.

  "This means that the youth mode on major live broadcast platforms will hardly work. Entering a password can extend the usage time, no real-name authentication is required, and it is difficult for teenagers to give rewards and refunds, which almost declares that such live broadcast platforms are open to teenagers. the door." Ma Chunyu told reporters.

  Ma Chunyu suggested that the relevant state departments can limit the number of live broadcast platforms, strictly review and approve, and limit the price and quantity of each person on the platform to set a daily gift value limit; strictly review the live broadcast content, and encourage whistleblowers to report illegal content and foul vulgar broadcasters. Permanent title.

  Ma Chunyu emphasized: The state should stipulate that people under the age of 20 cannot live broadcast, and the live broadcast platform is bound to the ID card; the online live broadcast time cannot be arranged within the legal working hours; the registration number is associated with the ID number to form an effective control (the already blocked number cannot be applied for repeatedly); To log in to the live broadcast platform, real-name authentication is required.

  Another "Suggestions on the State Administration of Taxation on Strengthening the Tax Administration of Live Streaming Platforms and Online Hosts" brought by Ma Chunyu is also related to live broadcasting.

  "On many live broadcast platforms, it is not uncommon for online anchors to evade taxes." Ma Chunyu suggested that the State Administration of Taxation should establish a supervision system for the income and tax deduction of live broadcast platforms and anchors. As long as it is a live broadcast platform registered with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, its name All collection accounts under the account must be connected to the supervision system of the tax bureau, and tax will be collected by automatic tax deduction.

  "Platforms and streamers who do not truthfully report their livestreaming income accounts to the supervisory system and evade tax by deceptive methods, once found, will not only be severely fined, but also permanently banned, and the registrant will never be able to register new accounts again." Ma Chunyu suggested.
