Analysis of the causes of the 5 major deformities in the film and television industry
Nowadays, there are some deformed chaos in the mainland film and television industry, which are growing wantonly in this entertainment industry, which has a serious impact on practitioners.
First of all, the non-standard market environment has brought reverse selection pressure to actors. For the sake of commercial interests, investors shoot a large number of low-cost and fast-payback inferior film and television works, and actors facing economic pressure can only choose between these works and lose their choice.
Second, some investors have exaggerated their power and arbitrarily interfered in their creation, which has further deteriorated the environment. They take advantage of money to micromanage the production process, but often do not understand the laws of the industry, and as a result, the quality of film and television works is unsustainable.
Thirdly, there is an imbalance in income distribution within the film and television industry. The huge income disparities between stars and ordinary actors, directors and other creative personnel, and the lack of reasonable allocation, have hit the enthusiasm of practitioners to a certain extent.
Finally, the left and right of the network of people also make the actors often feel embarrassed. It is not easy to refuse invitations from acquaintances and even celebrity peers, even if the quality of the work is worrying, it is difficult to categorically refuse.
If these aberrations are not addressed, they will only get worse. Therefore, it is necessary to deeply analyze their root causes, which is also the first step in cracking it.
The actor can't help himself and is helpless behind his back
Behind these deformed chaos in the film and television industry, there are countless actors' helplessness and unspeakable secrets.
When the outside world criticizes them for often appearing in inferior works, these actors are not as calm on the inside as they appear on the surface. They know they are in trouble, but they are powerless to get out of it.
Take Xiaohuadan Guo Xiaoting as an example, her acting skills should be promising, but there are few opportunities. Because she didn't have enough popularity to support her, she could only go around one low-quality work after another in order to seek performance opportunities, and even then, most of the days were unemployed.
Another example is the popular Xiaohua Mao Xiaotong, she also bluntly said that before she became popular, she had to star in many unspeakable inferior film and television works, and those lines embarrassed her.
However, at that time she did not have the capital to refuse.
It can be seen that whether it is a small star or a big star, these actors don't really want to be forced to star in low-quality works, but they lack the right to choose, so they can only help themselves.
If they have a choice, they must also hope to appear in some higher-quality and more touching film and television works.
Therefore, before condemning these actors who frequently act in bad movies, we also need to put ourselves in their shoes and feel their helplessness. This helps us to think more holistically when analyzing the problems of this industry.
The root of the problem lies in a lack of artistry
Behind all kinds of deformities and chaos in the film and television industry, there is a common root hidden - that is, the artistry of film and television works has not been given due attention.
We need to realize that film and television, as an entertainment product, has its own artistic attributes. Whether a work is excellent or not has nothing to do with its commercial income, but whether it has a high degree of artistry.
However, in the current environment with a high degree of marketization, investors, producers and even actors do not put this point at the height it should be, but put commercial interests first.
This makes it difficult to produce works with real artistic value, and a large number of low-quality commercial films are produced.
If we fail to face up to the artistic attributes of film and television works and let them regain their dominant position in this industry, it will be difficult to fundamentally solve the above-mentioned deformities and chaos.
Therefore, in order to improve the situation, attaching importance to art and respecting creation is the basic direction that every practitioner must correct. This is the fundamental way out of this predicament.
The way to solve it: the industry attaches great importance to artistry
In order to alleviate or even cure the deformity and chaos in the film and television industry, the only way for the industry to attach importance to artistry and the laws of creation is to do so.
First and foremost, it is the largest investor in power and money. They need to change the business perspective of only seeking quick returns, truly respect the laws of film and television creation, and give the production team full creative autonomy without excessive interference.
Noon Sunshine Pictures is a prime example. In the company's productions, business and art are best united, and behind it is the values of creation and artistry that have been formed within the company.
This has achieved their brand effect of "the product must be a high-quality product".
At the same time, the actors should also adhere to their own artistic pursuits and choose their works carefully. Stars such as Wu Jing and Andy Lau have invested in and starred in masterpieces such as "The Wandering Earth" and "Crazy Stone" through their influence, and have also shown a positive attitude of looking forward to self-worth through acting.
If practitioners in every link from top to bottom can establish respect for art and pay attention to the intrinsic quality of each work, then the direction of the overall development of the film and television industry can be gradually reversed, and the market environment will be purified.
It's a step-by-step process that requires a concerted effort in the industry.
Whether the situation can change is in the audience
Although the change in the industry environment is very important, whether the deformity and chaos in the film and television industry can be fundamentally reversed depends to a large extent on the awakening and progress of the audience.
If the audience's aesthetic taste is not improved, and they still mainly consume low-quality fast-food film and television content, then the industrial chain will only produce more homogeneous works under the constraints of market rules.
This is a paradox.
On the contrary, if the audience shows a thirst for high-quality film and television works, and supports the production of these works by choosing to subscribe and pay, the market will inevitably respond by providing more excellent content products.
Behind the upgrading of domestic theaters in recent years, it is the result of the maturity of audience selection.
Therefore, the key to the development direction of the film and television industry depends on the choice of the audience. This requires every audience to improve their own aesthetic ability, learn to judge and appreciate high-quality works, and guide the entire market with their own way of watching movies.
In this way, the common progress of practitioners and the audience is the necessary condition for the situation to be fundamentally reversed. It's a two-way process that requires both to work together.
