Chapter 199: Like a Fishbone Stuck in the Throat (Part 2)

4pm

Honghong and Beckinsale came to the square of the General Affairs Department. At this time, the square of the General Affairs Department was already crowded with people. The crowd was not as excited as in the morning. It was heard that the General Affairs Department had sent a secretary to clearly reply to the unemployed people in the film and television district, and measures would be introduced today to solve their problems.

The two were very worried now, because the problems in the film and television district could not be calmed down. The evidence of crimes that were constantly being dug up had led to the arrest of nearly 3,000 people, and 238 companies and studios of all sizes had been closed down.

These companies were involved in multiple crimes, especially economic crimes. A total of nearly 2 billion in tax evasion had been found, which was an extremely terrifying number.

And this number was still rising. The Action Department was fully committed to investigating everything in the film and television district, and had no intention of letting everything return to peace. The most difficult thing at the moment was the work of the practitioners in the film and television district, as well as the affairs of the surrounding companies related to the film and television district. This area was particularly important for the city.

Although many citizens will only discuss some things after dinner, without the entertainment content provided by the film and television district, it is unacceptable for most people after work.

Many people hope that the current situation will calm down. The practitioners in these film and television districts are also in a state of worry and joy, because now it is tantamount to a major reshuffle of the film and television district. Many of them have the opportunity to fill the vacancies in the upper layer, which is indeed happy, but at the same time, they can't continue to live in the film and television district without income.

Some people who can't stand it have left the film and television district, but most people are still insisting, because if they leave at this time, if the situation calms down, there will be a large number of practitioners in the entire film and television district.

Now hundreds of famous stars have been arrested, and some other stars who are fine naturally cannot live in peace. They are questioned by Sections 5 and 7 every day.

Beckinsale still clearly remembers that when Alfa started to check the film and television area many years ago, the scene at that time was somewhat similar to the current one, but in the end, everything stopped abruptly when the investigation reached a certain level. At that time, many people felt that the Operations Department was just making a lot of noise but doing little, so after handing over some insignificant things, the entire film and television area really returned to peace.

But now it is completely different. Honghong looked worried. The two of them were in a business restaurant opposite the General Affairs Department. There were few people in the restaurant now, and the two of them planned to wait for the results here.

Honghong had called Gary Locke before, and Gary Locke also made it clear that he was already drawing up a plan.

"How much did Jiang Hao participate?"

Beckinsale asked, and Honghong smiled.

"I probably know 70% to 80%. As for whether that idiot was involved, I can't guarantee that."

Beckinsale nodded. Now hundreds of congressmen in the film and television district have been arrested. Many of them have participated in dirty activities during their term of office. Beckinsale also knows it well. She has repeatedly reminded many congressmen to keep themselves clean, but unfortunately no one listens. In this film and television district full of decadence and material desires, Beckinsale is considered a clear stream among the congressmen.

So in this investigation, Beckinsale was only called for questioning, and there was no evidence or report that Beckinsale had participated in the crime in the film and television district.

"The era of using obedience to capital in exchange for some power is completely over."

Honghong sighed helplessly. She naturally knew that Beckinsale had been a leader and a servant in these years. A long time ago, when Beckinsale was established in the film and television district, it was indeed the early days after he became a congressman and the president of the Film and Television Association that the power in his hands played a certain role.

The film and television district was much cleaner than it is now, and Beckinsale was quite strict in managing the actors, but ugly things still happened from time to time, because this place is very expensive, and everything starts to deteriorate as long as it is related to money.

Few people can keep their bottom line, especially those who have finally climbed up, and the capital of the whole city is constantly squeezing into the film and television district, because this is a place where investment can have long-term returns, and culture and art are like this.

Under the constant squeeze of capital, Beckinsale gradually realized that the power in her hands was slipping away bit by bit. She wanted to introduce some policies and it was difficult to move forward. If she wanted to implement them, she could only compromise with capital.

Compromise with capital has a price. Capital is no longer a tool under the hands of power, but has become the master of power. Only after meeting some requirements of capital will they push power to execute some things.

Over the years, Beckinsale has checked everything well, allowing the entire film and television district to flourish, but the disadvantage is that capital has been completely out of control.

Under the light of capital, all ugliness will be buried, and everyone is drawn into the vortex of capital. Honghong was the same in the early years. She could only coexist peacefully with everyone. Everyone knew what they could and could not do. Over time, the film and television district became like this.

Honghong knew about the story of the poor actress who committed suicide before. She was just a small tool of capital. When the incident happened, the operation department had already investigated, but all the evidence pointed out that the actress had depression before and was under too much work pressure, so she committed suicide.

But now it's different. If one point is broken, a series of things will come. The business department continues to announce the details of this case. Many things are outrageous. And Niya also threatened that all the bastards related to this case will not last for a hundred years. Don't think about getting out of jail.

Because this shocking case has covered up some cases of equally bad nature, it has not formed a bigger storm now, because compared with this vicious incident, other cases are not too evil.

Many retired people have also been implicated. Nowadays, people are being summoned to the public security management center every day. Some of them are people who were injured in the film and television area and finally left. They are all testifying to some things.

"What do you think will happen?"

Honghong asked, and Beckinsale smiled.

"Everyone has nothing to do now, and I don't know what will happen. After this big reshuffle, I will start over, and so will you."

At this time, the crowd began to stir. The two realized something and hurriedly got up and headed to the square. Sure enough, they soon saw the Business Department using a light and shadow generator to create a stage, and Le Xiao, the secretary of Department 13, also boarded the stage. , Locke Jiahui also followed, the two of them were still discussing something.

Gu Tai

Everyone looked at Le Xiao with anticipation. The uneasiness on the faces of many practitioners in the film and television area disappeared at this time, which surprised Honghong and Beckinsale who had just arrived on the sidelines.

Some people are already talking about it, because it seems that this matter will be left to the secretary of Section 13, Le Xiao. She has solved many problems in the city many times before. People in the city speak very highly of Le Xiao. High.

"First of all, thank you all for being here today. I'll keep it short."

Le Xiao spoke, and everyone listened attentively. She scratched her head, and Locke sighed, then nodded.

"I think now everyone can set up their own and publish some works in the name of individuals or studios. As for investment, I think we can solicit it from people in the city."

Le Xiao's words shocked everyone present, and she continued immediately.

"Many of us have relevant professional qualification certificates. As long as we have these qualifications, whether we want to set up a personal studio or a small company, Division 1 will immediately approve it and open a green channel for everyone."

Le Xiao saw that everyone present was silent, and was a little confused for a moment. Le Xiao looked at the plan she had just discussed with Locke Jiahui, and she said hurriedly.

"As for the programs produced by everyone, whether they are short films, small theaters, or all light and shadow things, they can be played unconditionally on the website produced by the business department and a special video channel. The business department only charges a part of the management fee, but We will strictly review the content you shoot, and as for paying, it depends on your own ability. If you can turn the things you shoot into money, then naturally you don’t need to work part-time. ”

As soon as Le Xiao finished speaking, the crowd became excited. Many people couldn't believe that they could do this. In this way, everyone is fair and does not need to be linked to some large companies. They can freely shoot what they want. Shoot something.

"As for the working model including some fees, of course it is the same as before. What you have to do now is to put your creativity up, and then draw up a share ratio yourself, and attract some individuals or companies who are willing to invest. Work production The right is in your hands, but I hope you can remember that our review is very strict. "

Le Xiao said with a smile, and everyone cheered happily for a while. This may be difficult for many people, but it is also an opportunity to show themselves. Many people immediately looked at the people around them. People and some familiar people immediately hugged each other and planned to set up their own studio.

At this moment, Beckinsale on the sidelines was shocked. Although some people were still scared or a little reluctant, most people were happy.

"Okay, everyone, it's getting late. We still have things to do. You can start on your own, no matter when. It's the Chinese New Year. I hope everyone will work harder. After all, everyone wants to see some programs during the Chinese New Year. Also, I will talk to some businessmen in the area as soon as possible. I also need your help in preparing for the New Year program in the area. Once the talks are completed, I will directly contact all the businessmen who want to take advantage of the New Year to prepare some activities. Gather them together and let them publish their needs, and everyone can rely on their own strength to grab the orders. The same is true for some advertisers. If advertisers want to shoot advertisements, they can bid on the Xingxingke website starting from today. As long as you meet the qualifications and can pass the advertiser, you can take orders on your own. Finally, I have to say, please prepare your financial statements truthfully and do not evade taxes. The management fee we charge is only per month. Just enough to keep the website running. As for labor, we will work with the film and television council members to form a review team. We will also have a complete review mechanism before tomorrow, and we will tell you then."

The crowd began to surge, and many people turned around and ran away. They wanted to return to the film and television area as soon as possible and then start preparing, because this seemed unbelievable to many people.

Although there was such a model in Bright City in the past, it did not have large capital. For many people, this was difficult to implement. But it is different now. As long as your creativity is attractive enough, you will definitely be able to attract a lot of investment. Yes, and it can be invested by individuals, which means that as long as you attract enough people, you will still have the funds to shoot some works.

Such a solution shocked Beckinsale. She did not disagree, because she had thought a long time ago that if you want the film and television area to develop in a better direction, capital cannot determine the direction of creators. , but obviously this is impossible.

At this moment, Beckinsale was extremely excited. Honghong also felt that the entire film and television area was about to undergo extremely significant changes. Once this was really done, it would be difficult for capital to control the creators.

Soon several members of the General Affairs Department came over, hoping that Beckinsale would go in first to discuss something, and Honghong also followed.

"Ms. Honghong, you cannot participate in such a meeting. You can wait in the lounge."

Honghong was a little unhappy, but Locke Jiahui and Le Xiao happened to come over at this time.

"Let Honghong also participate. There are some things that I think it would be better for everyone to discuss carefully. After all, this strategy that is full of expectations can be further improved. Thank you, Secretary Le Xiao."

Beckinsale stretched out her hand, and Le Xiao took it with a smile. Honghong looked at Le Xiao. She knew very well that a series of changes in the city started when this secretary came to power. Although the city has become a bit strange now, it is still It's full of surprises.

The four of them entered the General Affairs Department and went directly to Locke's private rest area.

"From today on, you have to consider building a real film and television entertainment association, not one controlled by businessmen."

Locke whispered, Honghong looked a little surprised, and Beckinsale laughed.

"I'll be ready for anything."

Things began to ferment in the city. Another shocking move by Le Xiao made the whole city boil. Many people immediately expressed their desire to invest in some filming and were looking forward to the website of Xingxingke going online as soon as possible.

"You idiot, let me do it temporarily, and I will make you a big-headed monster!"

Leng Rui held the phone angrily, and on the other side of the phone was Le Xiao with a playful smile.

"Do you want to tire me out?"

"Xiao Leng, please do me a favor and take some time to get it done. It will be done in a few days."
