On August 27, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Governance of the Chaos in the "Rice Circle", proposing ten measures such as canceling the list of star artists, optimizing and adjusting the ranking rules, and strictly managing the star brokerage company, and striking hard to solve the problem of the chaos of the "rice circle". This is the follow-up to the launch of "Qinglang· Since the special action of 'rectifying chaos in the rice circle', the Central Cyberspace Administration has once again struck a heavy blow to promote the work of controlling the chaos in the "rice circle".
Recently, the negative news in the entertainment industry has continued: actor Zheng Shuang evaded taxes, top-notch Wu Yifan was arrested on suspicion of rape, Zhao Liying's extreme fans stepped on the lead, and Li Shi was fined 870,000 yuan for publishing vulgar advertisements... All these have aggravated the chaos of the "rice circle", caused a miasma of smoke and miasma in cyberspace, and deteriorated the ecology, which has brought adverse effects to the vast number of netizens, especially young people.
Cyberspace is the common spiritual home of hundreds of millions of people. Relevant departments have a high understanding of maintaining online political security and ideological security and creating a clear cyberspace and promoting the work of controlling the chaos in the "rice circle", continuously consolidating and expanding the results of special actions, and building a clear cyberspace.
Star management is out of place, vocal guidance is not timely, and extreme fans provoke the "rice circle" chaos war
The cooperation between celebrities is a normal thing, but in recent days, some fans have used this as an excuse to set off a "rice circle" chaotic war on the Internet that envelops stars and pulls on the battlefield.
On August 22, in response to the news that Zhao Liying and Wang Yibo would cooperate in the new drama, some fans of Zhao Liying issued remarks to boycott, saying that they did not want the two to play a drama together for the second time. At the same time, a large number of accounts have changed into avatars with words such as "all fans refuse" and "refuse any form of second-in-one" to show protest.
Subsequently, the official account of Zhao Liying's Global Fan Support Association, which has 2.59 million fans, posted a long article to put forward "four opinions", saying that "rejecting the second pair is the core appeal of all fans, resolutely resisting all forms of cooperation" "Regarding online dramas, if the rumors are true, we resolutely cut and refuse all work related to this drama, including but not limited to: Amway, anti-black, accusations, etc." At the same time, some marketing numbers borrowed topics to play, created topics, and maliciously hyped up the content of the war, causing a bad impact.
In the view of Gao Yingbo, vice president of the Institute of Media and Public Affairs of the Communication University of China, for adolescents who are growing and developing, some of the wrong world outlooks, outlooks on life and values advocated by the "rice circle" thinking will have a huge destructive effect on the future life and social atmosphere of young people if they are amplified by capital and flow without guidance and change.
Under the coercion of traffic, inappropriate remarks appear frequently: "It is to be more chaotic as possible, all parties are fighting, in order to let your studio and drama side see how big the hidden dangers are" "Now I am not afraid of chaos, I am not afraid of making trouble, I am afraid that no sound will come out, the voice of any party is not important, and it is good to make things bigger" "I can get on a few hot searches and hurry up, I am not afraid of chaos, I am afraid of quiet and stagnant water." ”
Things intensified, and fans on both sides even began to verbally attack Zhao Liying and Wang Yibo, which developed into a network scolding war.
"We see that celebrities + traffic + rice circles, in today's era, can often be amplified into public opinion hot events in a short period of time." Xi Yingbo believes that including the "milk pouring incident", "fund-raising behavior", "Wu Yifan incident", etc., are all manifestations of the deep "erosion" of adolescent behavior and thinking style by the rice circle culture.
As of the evening of August 26, the site has banned 2448 related illegal accounts, including 665 permanently banned accounts and 2643 closed accounts. This is the "Qinglang· Since the special action of "chaos rectification" in the rice circle, the first fan group has been banned on a large scale due to "mutual tearing".
It is worth noting that while banning the large-scale silence of the fan group of "mutual tearing", the platform took a 15-day ban on the official account of Zhao Liying Studio, because of its "management out of place, resulting in untimely voice guidance". "Artists and agencies should also actively guide fan groups, speak out in a timely manner, and assume corresponding management responsibilities to help create a harmonious network ecological environment." Sina Weibo officially said.
From the arrest involved in the case to the investigation of tax evasion to the closure of disrespect for history, traffic stars have lost their morality one after another, and the "rice circle" is full of evil winds and evil spirits
Individual celebrities are out of place in management and do not guide in time to promote the chaos of the "rice circle", and even more use the "halo" of traffic to commit illegal crimes, constantly refreshing the lower limit of the public, aggravating or even creating the chaos of the "rice circle".
"A few days ago, the First Inspection Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Taxation Bureau has found that Zheng Shuang did not declare his personal income of 191 million yuan, evaded taxes of 45.2696 million yuan, and other underpaid taxes of 26.5207 million yuan from 2019 to 2020, and made a decision to punish Zheng Shuang for recovering taxes, collecting late fees and imposing a total of 299 million yuan in fines in accordance with the law." On August 27, the tax department announced the investigation and punishment of Zheng Shuang's tax evasion case in accordance with the law.
The shocking amount of tax evasion shows that Zheng Shuang, a traffic star with tens of millions of fans, turned a deaf ear to the state laws and regulations and the relevant orders of relevant departments, ignored the relevant requirements of strictly prohibiting the "sky-high film remuneration" and "yin and yang contracts" in the film and television industry, and evaded taxes subjectively and deliberately, seriously disrupting the order of tax collection and management.
"In the face of the legal obligation to pay taxes, everyone is equal. For public figures such as entertainment stars, they usually have a high income capacity and income level, have great social influence, and have obvious demonstration effects, so they should conscientiously fulfill their taxpayer obligations and set an example of abiding by the law. Yu Wenhao, deputy dean of the Law School of the Central University of Finance and Economics, told reporters that malicious tax evasion undermines the normal tax legal order and damages the financial foundation of the country's normal operation, and the violators should bear adverse legal consequences according to law.
In Yu Wenhao's view, the law enforcement organs' handling of malicious tax evasion in accordance with the law is the embodiment of adhering to the equality of everyone before the law, the requirement of comprehensively ruling the country according to law in terms of the observance of the law by the whole people, and the guarantee for establishing a stable and sustainable fiscal and taxation order.
Since August this year, in addition to Zheng Shuang's severe punishment for tax evasion, a number of traffic stars have been exposed for their immorality, including top star Wu Yifan arrested on suspicion of rape, and traffic actor Zhang Zhehan has been boycotted by the industry for "punching in" the Yasukuni Shrine and other bad behaviors.
In the view of Li Guangping, deputy secretary-general of the Pop Music Society of the China Music Association and music critic, the artistic accomplishment and moral quality of some traffic stars are far from reaching the basic level of a singer or actor, so it is necessary to strengthen artistic accomplishment and adhere to the moral bottom line. At the same time, Li Guangping said that whether it is a singer or a musician, it is necessary to learn basic legal knowledge and reject the vicious habits of pornography, gambling and poison.
Traffic stars are not matched, bringing negative effects to the entire industry, but also to the youth group-based "rice circle" to bring a bad impact, some "rice circles" twisted into a "strange circle" full of evil winds: insults and tearing each other, provoking confrontation, brushing the amount of control and evaluation, spending huge sums of money on celebrities to "love offerings", and even trying to raise funds to rescue idols suspected of rape.
The data shows that after Wu Yifan's information report, as of the evening of August 1, the Weibo platform alone had closed 108 related misguided over-talks, dissolved 789 illegal groups, and banned and permanently closed 990 accounts.
Cancel the list of star artists, strictly control star agencies, strictly prohibit the presentation of mutual tearing information... Multi-departmental heavy-handed rectification of chaos, the "traffic-only theory" of the bottom of the barrel
"Tax evasion, 'yin and yang contracts', and 'sky-high film remuneration' violate laws and regulations, disrupt industry order, and impact the bottom line of social fairness and justice, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has 'zero tolerance' for this." On August 27, after the announcement of Zheng Shuang's tax evasion investigation, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television said it firmly supported the tax department's decision to deal with Zheng Shuang's tax evasion case.
At the same time, a decision was made not to broadcast Zheng Shuang's TV drama "Ghost of a Lady" involved in tax evasion, requiring radio and television broadcasting institutions at all levels, radio and television video on-demand business establishments, and online audio-visual program service agencies not to invite Zheng Shuang to participate in the production of programs, and to stop broadcasting programs that Zheng Shuang had already participated in.
The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television said that it will further strengthen the standardized management of the remuneration of entertainers, strengthen industry management and team education, and resolutely and seriously pursue responsibility for entertainers and related institutions that violate laws and regulations, so as to promote the healthy development of the industry.
"It is not accidental that individual star artists have lost morality and violated the law, and the whole industry should seriously reflect on it, learn lessons from it, and take the initiative to make changes." In the view of Wang Hailin, vice president and secretary general of the China Film and Literature Society and president of the Screenwriting Working Committee of the China Television Drama Production Industry Association, the whole industry should think bitterly, say goodbye to the "only traffic theory", and find a new road.
For some time, the "only traffic theory" has been very popular, and traffic has been regarded as the only criterion for judging the quality of literary and artistic works and the influence of artists, which not only distorts the original intention of creation and publicity, but also makes literary and artistic creation lose its direction, and even breeds behaviors such as traffic fraud.
In March this year, the China Judgment Documents Network published the verdict of Cai Kunmiao, the developer of the "Star Aid" APP, who was sentenced to five years in prison in the first instance for providing programs that invaded computer information systems. The "Star Aid" APP is a program that brushes Weibo traffic, which has created an incident in which a celebrity Weibo has 100 million retweets. According to statistics, by the time of the incident, the software had users logged in with more than 190,000 control-end Weibo accounts, and the "Star Aid" APP developers had obtained more than 6 million yuan in illegal income.
Not only that, driven by the "traffic theory", the capital side relies heavily on the fan benefits brought by the "traffic star", acquiescing to or even encouraging fans to brush data, control comments, mutual tearing, etc., of which the "rice circle" has become a hotbed of economic crime, and many teenagers have been deeply affected.
"The problems brought about by the 'traffic theory' have always worried people of insight in the industry, and the traffic model has struck a blow at normal art creation, struck a blow at normal literary and art criticism, subverted the law of creation, corroded the marketing mechanism, and did all kinds of harms without any benefit." Wang Hailin said.
With the deepening of the rectification of the chaos in the "rice circle", the competent departments have drawn salaries from the bottom of the "traffic theory". On August 27, the Cyberspace Administration of China solicited opinions on the "Provisions on the Recommendation and Administration of Internet Information Service Algorithms (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)", which proposed to stipulate that algorithms should not be used to falsely like, comment, forward, and web navigation, implement traffic fraud, control hot searches, etc.; on the same day, it announced the launch of a special rectification of the prominent problems of pushing pop-up windows of The Clear Lang mobile application PUSH, prohibiting PUSH pop-ups from pushing entertainment gossip, celebrity gossip, bloody violence and other content; prior to this, a number of star-chasing applications and mini programs have been centrally removed. to meet the requirements of special rectification.
The scale of China's Internet users exceeds 1 billion, and the world's largest and most vibrant digital society is inseparable from a clear and ecological environment
"The state has made a heavy fist to rectify the chaos of the 'rice circle', and as a qu art worker, I raise my hands in favor of it and resolutely support it." Bad behaviors and phenomena such as the list of aided people, worshipping money, online violence, distorting rumors, and promoting hatred that appear in the chaos of the rice circle are harmful to many. Li Jing, deputy head of the Beijing Qu Art Troupe and a national first-class actor, said.
On August 24th, the "Self-Cultivation, Self-Discipline, Uprightness, And Determination to Forge the Soul -- Symposium on the Construction of Professional Ethics and Work Style of Literary and Art Workers of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles" was held in Beijing. A number of artists held discussions and exchanges on undesirable phenomena such as the "rice circle" culture and the "only flow theory" and the recent illegal and immoral phenomena that have appeared in the literary and art circles and entertainment circles, and issued the "Self-cultivation, Self-discipline, Uprightness, and Forged Souls -- A Proposal to the Vast Number of Literary and Art Workers".
Literature and art are the projects that forge the soul. From the development of "Qinglang · The special action of 'chaos rectification' in the rice circle, to severely punishing the immoral behavior of traffic stars according to law, and then to restricting and guiding traffic through institutional regulations, the heavy fist rectification of chaos by relevant departments is the guidance of literary and art workers and the protection of the healthy development of cultural and entertainment undertakings.
At the same time, in order to rectify the chaos in the entertainment circle and the "rice circle", it is even more in line with the attitude of being responsible for society and the people, strengthening the governance of cyberspace according to law, strengthening the construction of online content, and creating a clean and healthy network environment for the vast number of netizens, especially young people.
On August 27, the 48th Statistical Report on the Development of China's Internet Network released by the China Internet Network Information Center showed that as of June 2021, the scale of China's Internet users was 1.011 billion, and the Internet penetration rate reached 71.6%. More than 1 billion users have access to the Internet, forming the world's largest and most vibrant digital society.
From the first e-mail sent by China more than 30 years ago, unveiling the prelude to the use of the Internet, to the realization of leapfrog development of China's Internet industry today, the role of basic support, innovation-driven, integration and leadership has become more prominent, the status in the national economy and society has been significantly improved, and cyberspace is becoming more and more important to promote high-quality economic and social development.
"In this sense, all aspects must pay more attention to rectifying the chaos on the Internet, carry forward a positive, healthy, upward and benevolent network culture, and nourish people's hearts and nourish society with the core values of socialism and the achievements of human civilization." Xu Suju, a professor at the School of Marxism at Guangxi University, said that no one likes the cyberspace of black smoke and miasma, and only with abundant positive energy and high main theme can we build a spiritual home that reassures hundreds of millions of people.
