Chapter 221 Boycott was rejected
"How is it? What do other people think of Director Liu's proposal?" Li Yuye, now the head of the Li family and a member of the CPPCC, asked.
"Vulgar artists should be boycotted, and vulgar works should be banned. However, Mr. Liu, the two female artists you mentioned may be a bit exaggerated just because of their daily attire. Teacher Yang's latest peacock dance has indeed caused a stir. Controversial, but there are also audiences who appreciate her dance. As for Xia Haoyang? I'm sorry, Director Liu, which of his works is problematic and which one is vulgar? I'm not very clear." President Deng of Friendship Brothers Film and Television was the first to speak out. .
"What you wear in daily life can also bring bad guidance to the audience. This is not just an exaggeration, but a reflection of social trends."
"You are right. Inappropriate clothing in daily life will also guide the audience's orientation. But the problem is that such clothing does not violate the law. If it does not violate the law, your boycott and ban have no legal basis." Chiyo Records Ruya Mr. Wang said softly.
"Teacher Yang's dance has indeed caused controversy, but in the West, whether it is sculpture or oil painting, nude appearances in human body art are common. The famous sculpture David and the sculpture The Thinker also have such nude appearances in movies and TV series. It cannot be said that if Westerners are naked, then it is art, and our Chinese artists are vulgar. Is this a double standard?" Mr. Wang continued.
"As for Xia Haoyang? I don't understand even more. If you are talking about the side dance music of the girl groups a few years ago, these are not Xia Haoyang's works." Mr. Wang spoke up for Xia Haoyang.
"I agree with Mr. Wang's statement. Artistic expression can have its own way. We cannot do it just because Westerners do it. It is art and Chinese people are vulgar. The boycott of Teacher Yang's peacock dance is unreasonable. The clothes of two female artists in their daily lives We can warn or demand changes, but boycotting and banning people just because they wear exaggerated clothing is too serious.”
"As for Xia Haoyang? There is no reason to boycott. Netizens are saying that people use knives to kill people but doctors also use knives to save people. Why should the crime be blamed on the knife? K-pop created by Xia Haoyang is just a type of pop music. Some people Some people like it, some people don’t like it, it’s reasonable to exist, and there is no reason to force a boycott.” said the capable Mr. Chen of Xiangjiang Dongzheng Records.
Three people in a row objected, causing everyone to discuss it quietly. Seeing this situation, the head of the Li family suggested: "Then we should stick to the old rules and vote, and those who agree to boycott will raise their hands?"
In the small group of 48 people, only Mr. Guan and Director Liu raised their hands.
"Okay, two people. Raise your hands if you disagree with the boycott?"
Without any hesitation, the other forty-six people all raised their hands.
"The result is obvious. This proposal was not passed. Do you have any new proposals? Also put them forward and everyone will vote by a show of hands?"
In the end, the entertainment industry's proposal was that all film and television or music companies issue a joint statement to eliminate yin and yang contracts for artists, actively pay taxes in accordance with the law, and improve artists' professional skills and ideological and moral construction, which was unanimously approved by everyone. The so-called four common customs in the entertainment industry are just jokes among netizens.
However, after the Two Sessions, the state issued a series of documents requiring rectification of the artistic ethics of artists in the entertainment industry, with zero tolerance for artists who break the law and commit crimes, and will also impose certain requirements and regulations on artists with bad reputations such as big names and other bad reputations. Generally speaking, They are all positive and benign, but they have no impact on Xia Haoyang.
Although the proposal to boycott the four major vulgarities was not approved, Director Liu still expressed his boycott of vulgar artists in the entertainment industry and banned their works on the official Weibo of Yancheng TV Station. This is also the second public boycott of artists in the entertainment industry after publicly declaring a boycott of Xia Haoyang in 2023. This time, netizens were more teasing Yancheng TV, and did not criticize Xia Haoyang three years ago.
In the director's office of Yancheng TV station, Deng Sijia played the title song "no9" from the latest album of Xia Haoyang girl group Tara on a loop. Unknowingly, Deng Sijia became accustomed to listening to Tara's music and became a fan of Tara's music. She has also been silently paying attention to Xia Haoyang's news. When she heard a knock on the door, she habitually turned off the music.
"Come in."
Her assistant, handsome Xiao Wang, walked in and said, "Sister Deng, Director Liu asked you to go to his office."
"Okay, got it."
Deng Sijia composed herself, closed her eyes and rested for two minutes, then left her room and went to Director Liu's office.
"Liu Tai, are you looking for me?"
"Xiao Deng, come on, sit down."
"Thank you Liu Tai."
"Xiao Deng, the position of station director is not easy to sit in. It is very hot. Director Wang suggested that I take over. To be honest, I am very scared. In the past few years, our Yancheng TV station has dropped in terms of advertising expenses and program audience ratings. That’s great, do you think there’s any way to improve the ratings of our show?”
"Young people are more accustomed to using devices such as mobile phones or tablets to browse various programs on the Internet. The ratings of our traditional TV media programs are declining. Liu Tai, this should be a normal and objective law of development." Deng Sijia answered neither humble nor overbearing.
"So traditional TV stations like us also need to seek innovation and change. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Deng Sijia shook her head slightly. She really couldn't find any way to increase the TV station's ratings.
"This year I became the director of Yancheng TV Station. Now I need to handle the ratings of the entire station. Xiao Deng, do you think you can create a new program to increase the ratings?"
"I don't have any great ideas right now, but Liu Tai, let me go back and think about it. If I have any good suggestions, I will report them to you."
"Okay, if that's the case, then you can go back to work. If you have any good ideas, come to me at any time. I will fully support you."
"Okay, thank you Liu Tai, I'm going out then."
In any case, Liu Tai is really good to Deng Sijia. Ever since Deng Sijia joined Yancheng TV Station, Liu Tai has favored her and can be called a guide. Deng Sijia is also very grateful to Liu Tai. She has always been conscientious and tried her best to repay Liu Tai's trust. In the past few years, Deng Sijia has also produced some new programs, but the ratings were okay at first, but gradually declined. Whether it is "I Am the Creator" or "Pop Songs", the creativity and production of the programs are actually very good. But the ratings just can't go up.
In particular, the ratings of "Popular Songs" are less than one-tenth of the same type of program "New Song Arena" on Xinan Satellite TV. This is not a problem with the production of the program. For example, last week's "New Song Arena" Tara presented the new album's title song " No9" ranked first in the country in terms of ratings during the same time period, even surpassing CCTV's programs, and not far behind prime time ratings. So can improving ratings just be done by changing programs? Deng Sijia let out a long sigh, and a slightly fat figure of a man appeared in her mind - Xia Haoyang.
