Chapter 47: Polite thief, red director

“Is it over already?”

Seeing that the variety show "Dreaming of Performing Arts Circle" ended after six episodes, Han Xue had a feeling that it was not enough.

"I haven't seen enough yet. This is my first time watching such a realistic variety show. It's so touching."

Han Xue sighed.

Wei Jun chuckled and said, "The more exciting things are all happening in real life. Are you still worried that there won't be anything to watch?"

"Real life is too fragmented and not as exciting as what we see on the show."

Han Xue said.

Wei Jun said calmly: "Don't worry, reality will only be more exciting.

I've received news that the higher-ups are starting to clean up the entertainment industry. Xiaoyanzi is just the beginning, far from the end."

This world rectification movement came many years early.

It is hard to say whether it is the butterfly effect caused by Wei Jun.

But it's not a bad thing.

Anyway, the higher-ups are rectifying the atmosphere in the entertainment industry, and they are targeting those artists who violate the law and discipline, which has nothing to do with him.

After Han Xue heard the inside information revealed by Wei Jun, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"It seems like there's a chance for actors like me who quietly film."

"Your opportunity wasn't given to you by the higher-ups. It was this director who took a liking to you."

Wei Jun boasted, "Since you filmed my play, you will definitely have a chance."

Han Xue chuckled and said, "Director Wei, please don't talk nonsense. I'm already married."

Wei Jun and Han Xue looked at each other, and suddenly felt a little agitated.

Han Xue's husband is a businessman, not a soldier, and she is not a military dependent.

So it’s not illegal.

Director Wei has a bottom line as a person. He will definitely not touch any military dependents.

Just touch it and you'll go in.

But the merchant's wife's words... ahem...

Wei Jun suddenly coughed lightly.

Han Xue also sensed some of the subtle ambiguity in the villa. Her pretty face flushed, and she quickly changed the subject: "Is Director Wei serious this time? He wants to clean up the entertainment industry?"

“Yes, seriously.

Maybe it’s because of me that the higher-ups have noticed some of the chaos in the entertainment industry, and it has reached a point where they have to take it seriously.

Although other industries may not be much stronger than the entertainment industry, the entertainment industry has a great influence.

Using the entertainment industry as a warning is also more likely to serve as a warning to others."

Wei Jundao.

Wei Jun never thought that the entertainment industry was the dirtiest industry in the world.

Apart from anything else, the original accumulation of money in the business world is much dirtier than that in the entertainment industry.

The behind-the-scenes dealings in official circles are far beyond the reach of the entertainment industry.

Even academic corruption in the academic circle is much more profound than the inside stories involved in the entertainment industry.

But each of these areas is more challenging than the last.

Even if we allow the higher-ups to investigate, they may not be able to dig too deep.

In comparison, people in the entertainment industry are much easier to bully.

“Xiao Yanzi has been banned, as has Gao Xiaosong, who comes from a prominent family.

Drug abuse is a red line. Any practitioner who has come into contact with drugs will basically find it impossible to find a job in the industry again.

The tax authorities are investigating issues like hidden contracts and tax evasion in the entertainment industry, and a significant number of celebrities have already been implicated. However, because so many people are involved, the authorities don't want to single out the issue, so they haven't exposed it.

Wei Jundao.

It was actually the same in the previous life.

Fan Bingbing was killed as a warning to the monkeys.

But Fan Bingbing is not the only one who evades taxes in the entertainment industry.

Apart from Fan Bingbing, other celebrities paid back taxes worth tens of billions of yuan, which shows that tax evasion is widespread in the entertainment industry.

Wei Jun does not sympathize with Fan Bingbing, but he does say that if the standards are the same, then if someone is banned just for tax evasion, then it really shouldn't be just Fan Bingbing who is banned.

Everyone should be treated equally.

But if that happens, half of the entertainment industry will probably be replaced.

Although it's not a big deal, it would cause too much noise.

The higher-ups obviously knew what was going on. Although they made Fan Bingbing an example, there was actually no official announcement to ban her.

Later, when Xiaoyanzi got into trouble, she was directly removed from the cast list of "My Fair Princess", but Fan Bingbing's name was still there.

It can be seen that in the eyes of the above, what Xiaoyanzi did was much more serious than what Fan Bingbing did.

This is true.

Han Xue took a deep breath when she heard Wei Jun briefly talk about the current situation in the entertainment industry.

She knew that the entertainment industry had been a bit turbulent recently, but she didn't expect it to be this serious.

"Director Wei, what's the purpose of this rectification?" Han Xue asked. "What should actors like me who don't have much presence pay attention to in the future?"

Han Xue wants to become famous.

She really has a dream of becoming a star.

So you see, the real third-generation reds like Ma Yuan are so low-key that they are almost untraceable.

Not only did Han Xue continue to act, she even appeared on more than a dozen variety shows a year.

If she didn't want to be famous, she wouldn't have to work so hard.

Now that big moves have begun, she is naturally not afraid.

In this regard, Wei Jun has the most say, and she did not ask the wrong person.

Wei Jun thought about his conversations with the higher-ups over the past few days, organized his words, and said to Han Xue, "Actually, their message is quite simple: just get the entertainment industry back on track."

"Back on track?" Han Xue didn't quite understand. "Director Wei, could you please explain it in more detail?"

Wei Jun explained: “Premier Zhou said that art must be approved by the people.

The people's choices and preferences are the direction of artistic development and the direction that celebrities should strive for.

But over the past few years, the entertainment industry has gone astray.”

Han Xue seemed to be lost in thought.

Wei Jun continued, "After capital began to invade the entertainment industry, the works and stars produced by the entertainment industry no longer served the public and no longer satisfied the people's spiritual entertainment needs.

The entertainment industry has begun to serve capital. The people are not only no longer the breadwinners, but have become the leeks to be harvested by capital.

This is certainly not something that can be allowed.

To put it bluntly, China is a country where the broad masses of people are the masters of the country.

Neither capital nor celebrities can be above the people.

The current entertainment industry has a tendency to become detached from the people. The higher-ups didn't notice this before, but after I produced the show "Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry," they realized this and realized that the entertainment industry has actually produced many evil dragons.

“So the dragon slaying began.”

Han Xue looked at Wei Jun with a look of astonishment.

She just thought that the higher-ups wanted to clean up the atmosphere in the entertainment industry.

I never expected that Mr. Wei would raise his goal so high.

She instantly felt her own shallowness.

"I'm getting better."

Han Xue said admiringly.

Wei Jun: “…”

He suspected that the young woman was flirting with him, but he had no evidence.

"In that case, I have to be careful with my words and actions in the entertainment industry and be a low-key actor."

Han Xue said.

Wei Jun nodded.

Han Xue glanced at Wei Jun and suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, "Director Wei, are you in the attack group?"

"Of course I'm not here anymore. Is there anyone in the entertainment industry who is more positive than me?" Wei Jun said righteously.

Han Xue almost laughed out loud: "Director Wei, do you think I haven't heard of your reputation? Your reputation as a romantic and talented man is well-known across Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau."

Wei Jun was not ashamed, but instead flirted back: "Since Teacher Han has heard of my reputation and dared to invite me to his home, shouldn't I think about it more?"

"Don't think too much about it. I just trust you won't do anything stupid."

Han Xue's face flushed slightly. "Besides, we are cracking down on this now. Director Wei, you will definitely not commit crimes in defiance of the law."

"In fact, this is not a crime against the wind."

Wei Jun said: "Jackie Chan's romantic life is well known to the world, but it does not affect his status.

Compared to Jackie Chan, I am still behind the scenes and will never appear on stage again."

Wei Junke never thought of becoming an actor.

If you can be a big boss at the top of the food chain, why should you lower your status for no reason?

Besides, the entertainment industry’s requirements for directors are much lower than those for actors.

Some things may seem like a big deal to an actor, but to a director, they are nothing.

"The red line in the entertainment industry is still breaking the law, and moral corruption comes second.

However, the world holds celebrities like you to the highest standards of moral character. For people like me working behind the scenes, as long as we don't have a major impact, it's fine."

Wei Jun explained.

He also told the truth.

To put it bluntly, a director, a behind-the-scenes worker, is no different from a rich person.

In this society, is it a big deal if a rich man has a mistress?

People have long been accustomed to it.

Just keep a low profile.

How many billionaires can remain chaste?

But if you cause too much negative impact, you will definitely be in trouble.

Otherwise, it is just a moral issue and cannot affect the rich.

Han Xue thought about it and thought it was indeed the case. She complained, "It's really unfair. We celebrities are supposed to listen to your directors, but we are actually subject to more restrictions."

"Nonsense, anyone can be a star, all they need is a good look. But can anyone be a director?" Wei Jun said.

Actually, it is also...

After all, Guo Xiaowu is a director.

However, in this world, "Tiny Times" was snatched away by Wei Jun, so the chaotic situation of "there are directors in every field" has not yet appeared.

Judging from the current regulatory efforts in the entertainment industry, it will be unlikely to happen again in the future.

Wei Jun originally wanted to continue to have an in-depth chat with Han Xue, but at this moment his phone rang.
