As it turns out, there's nothing the authorities can't handle; it just depends on whether they want to or not.
With a few documents and statements, the entertainment industry was completely shut down.
First, a thorough investigation was conducted on entertainment companies and celebrities regarding their dual contracts and tax issues, followed by collective physical and urine tests.
Those with tax issues will be sent for questioning, those with problematic urine tests will be sent to drug rehabilitation centers, and subsequently, the authorities will issue a nationwide ban, ensuring they never return.
After this round of operations, another wave of websites collapsed, and the list of banned websites released by the official accounts was so long that it was impossible to scroll through it all.
The people were utterly stunned.
I had thought they wouldn't stand up to scrutiny, but I never imagined they would be this vulnerable.
Each one of them is truly "tortured"!
Is this the kind of filthy bastard they've been genuinely supporting all these years?
After the swift and decisive action, the authorities have now turned their attention to exorbitant actor salaries.
The document states that the exorbitant salaries in the entertainment industry are a pathological and abnormal social phenomenon.
This extreme imbalance between effort and reward overturns the public's perception of "effort and struggle".
It mocks and attacks correct values, and has an extremely negative impact on the values of minors, and must be curbed.
In the past, children dreamed of becoming scientists, astronauts, teachers, doctors, or soldiers who defended their country...
Nowadays, kids want to be internet celebrities, stars, get plastic surgery to take shortcuts, and make big money in the entertainment industry.
After all, who would want to study diligently and work hard when faced with the temptation of earning 2.08 million a day?
Even if you work hard and diligently for a lifetime, you still won't earn as much as a star's salary for a single film.
If this continues, the young people of this country will be ruined.
Therefore, after observation and consideration, and referring to Qi An's previous practices, the above-mentioned authorities made the following regulations.
In a production, the total remuneration of all actors cannot exceed one-tenth of the total investment, and tax issues must be open and transparent, with dual contracts prohibited.
Before appearing on screen, actors must provide proof of passing tax and urine tests, and write a guarantee that they will compensate for any losses caused by their own actions.
Actors must disclose their marital status truthfully and are prohibited from creating personas to deceive fans.
As leaders with a huge fan base, celebrities must be more strict with themselves. If they break the law or commit serious moral transgressions, they should be banned and never allowed to make a comeback.
This applies not only to actors, but also to directors who engage in misconduct, such as using their position to sexually harass actors. Once discovered, they will be permanently removed from the industry.
In addition, each artist must undergo regular assessments by the Performing Arts Association, ranging from political background, tax and urine tests, and marital status to professional skills.
If the first two items are problematic, the person cannot be found.
Cheating or deceiving fans constitutes a moral failing and will result in a public ban.
His professional skills are lacking, his acting and dialogue delivery are really terrible, and all he has to do is look good. His career is on hold, so he should take a training course first and come back after passing the exam.
Working people all have skills and performance requirements, so why shouldn't actors use them?
By the way, the judges of the Performing Arts Association are a group of veteran artists who are recognized for their virtue and talent, and Zhuang Sheng is an exception.
She was voted in by netizens.
What a joke! How could such a moment of identifying demons and monsters be complete without our director, Zhuang Sheng, the "Demon-Revealing Mirror"?
There is another reason.
Someone compiled Zhuang Sheng's experiences from childhood to adulthood and posted them online, gaining millions of followers overnight.
The reason is simple: after Qi An made the revelation, those who hated her to death investigated Zhuang Sheng thoroughly, hoping to find something to use against her.
After receiving the investigation results, they were shocked, then helpless, and finally gave up in anger and embarrassment, resorting to fabricating rumors out of thin air.
Good heavens, how can there be such a monotonous and boring person!
Damn, I'm still a lifelong single!
It's such a waste that it makes it impossible to write anything about her; it's a complete misuse of that beautiful, story-filled face.
The detective's investigation focused on a girl from a poor background who studied diligently from a young age and how she strived for her dream of becoming a director.
This is so good it could be used as an inspirational documentary.
They wanted to ruin her, not promote her or gain her fans.
After those people fell from power, a private investigator who was in charge of the investigation became a fan of Zhuang Sheng after learning about her, and published the investigation results online.
It showed everyone what a real-life "dream chaser" is and what "a childlike heart" truly means.
Even official media outlets shared her story, praising her for staying true to her original aspirations and being a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.
Coupled with several memorable casting moments that served as a "truth serum," netizens unanimously agree that she is the perfect "entertainment industry watchdog."
As a result, Zhuang Sheng became the only young judge in the Performing Arts Association, sitting on equal footing with a group of veteran artists.
Qi An, who just wanted to lie down and didn't want to work: "..."
Thank you, thank you so much!
As a result, acting has become a normal profession. Although the income is still much higher than that of ordinary people, the moral and professional requirements are higher, and the threshold has also become higher.
At the very least, it's not like any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get plastic surgery and participate in some low-quality TV show to dance around.
Fu Gui joked, "Sister An'an, netizens have been having too many scandals lately, so they don't like celebrities anymore. They've switched to you. You're now a role model in the entertainment industry, a symbol of courage."
Qi An lazily sprawled on the bed: "You're quite self-aware. You're right to be my fan. Even if the entertainment industry collapses, I will never collapse."
Fu Gui slumped down beside her, proudly saying, "That's right, Fu Gui, I'm your number one fan."
Qi An patted her head dismissively: "Good girl."
Ata, who was in seclusion in the void, suddenly sneezed: "..."
After the major purge, the entertainment industry has finally calmed down.
The remaining people, while not necessarily perfect or outstanding, are at least law-abiding and morally upright normal people.
An actor must first perfect himself before he can portray someone else.
Having witnessed so much sordid stuff, the public has stopped having a positive view of this industry and is now holding them to higher standards.
Several idols with terrible acting skills but whose careers haven't collapsed yet—their fans dare not say anything more…
"Our older brother/sister has already worked so hard!" "He's already making progress!" "As long as he's respected, he'll stand the test of time!" "Our brother even cut his hand but didn't cry or ask for leave, he's so dedicated!"...
She no longer feels sorry for her brother or sister so easily.
It's heartbreaking to see them having so much money to spend yet still having to be suspended by wires, wearing cotton-padded coats in the summer and thin gauze in the winter while filming.
It's heartbreaking to see them living in mansions and driving luxury cars, yet they're subjected to online condemnation simply because they lack education and say a few wrong things.
Fans who had regained their senses left messages for their idols.
[Bro, listen to me, let's take a class to practice acting and lines. Don't come out yet, it'll be embarrassing if we fail the exam, and other fans will laugh at us.]
[Sis, maybe you should spend less time livestreaming and more time reading. I don't expect you to be an erudite scholar, but you should at least know some basic common sense. Your idiotic remarks in that last interview were simply unbearable to watch.]
[Brother, please, let's pay our taxes, and not sleep around. I don't expect you to become a huge star, I just hope for a steady, long-term relationship.]
[Sis, stop all you do is release announcements and outshine everyone else. That's not fashionable anymore. Get moving! Director Zhuang's new movie is in pre-production, so get your act together!]
The previously superficial atmosphere in the industry has finally disappeared. Actors no longer feel superior and have begun to focus on honing their skills.
Qi An is finally going to film Zhuang Sheng's last movie.
