The 11th Congress of the Chinese Filmmakers Association has just concluded, and there is overwhelming talk on the Internet: Chen Daoming was elected as the new chairman of the China Film Association.
The more conservative media discussed Chen Daoming’s life experience and career achievements, and they barely covered eight generations of his ancestors.
The more radical one used an eight-fold lens to look at the participants of this Film Association Conference: seating arrangements, facial expression details, and attitudes toward others. I wanted them to immediately discover the pros and cons of everyone here, and dig out the hot topics. .
The comment area is also lively. Some netizens are praising Chen Daoming, and some are curious about why most of the president and vice presidents of this term are actors we are familiar with? More netizens looked confused and asked naively in the comment area:
Is the chairman of the China Film Association awesome? What level is it? What real power does it have? Is this playing Yu Zeshi?
To answer these questions, we actually have to start with the "China Films Association". The official name of the "China Films Association" is actually the "China Filmmakers Association". As for whether it is awesome or not, it is actually very awesome.
Because this association was established in July 1949, three months before the founding of New China, it, like the "Chinese Dramatists Association", is one of the earliest people's organizations after the founding of New China.
In fact, before the "Red Revolution Movement", the two biggest achievements of the China Film Association were the establishment of the China Film Publishing House in 1956 and the creation of the film "Hundred Flowers Award" in 1962. Then it was suspended for 12 years and was not resumed until 1978. Association activities.
At this time, the functions of the China Film Association were slowly revealed. In 1981, the film "Golden Rooster Award" was added. That is to say, among the three most valuable awards for Chinese films, in addition to the "Huabiao Award" issued by the government, other " The "Hundred Flowers Award" and "Golden Rooster Award", regardless of whether they are expert comments or audience comments, are all organized by this association, which alone is very impressive.
Then the creation, production, distribution, screening, training of leading film figures, incentives, etc. of Chinese films are all handled by this association for liaison, coordination and service management. Basically, Chinese films are controlled by this association In the hand, it’s not too exaggerated.
As for some netizens asking what level is the chairman of the "China Film Association"?
First of all, we have to understand the "China Filmmakers Association". It is not a government agency. It belongs to a social people's group. In a broad sense, it is a social organization or mass group voluntarily formed by Chinese citizens. The
group is essentially a non-governmental organization. Its funding sources generally come from membership dues, social sponsorships and other legal income. As long as it does not violate the party constitution and national conditions and regulations, the government will not interfere much.
But large associations are different. They are almost quasi-governmental organizations. For example, the "Chinese Writers Association" is a "ministerial"-level people's organization and is an institutional mass organization managed by the central government.
Its main tasks, organizational structure, and leadership positions are directly determined by the executive agency, the National Committee. Many association leaders are established, and associations perform some government functions to a large extent.
The "Chinese Filmmakers Association" does not belong to the central committee. Its highest authority is the National Congress of the China Filmmakers Association. Its parent unit is the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. The "China Filmmakers Association" is one of the 14 national associations affiliated to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. This The association is run by the party, has organs, funds and state allocations, so it is considered a quasi-governmental organization. The most important members of the
association are 32 group members. These members are the backbone of the association. Members are elected by the association's national congress.
Although there is no clear government establishment level for the positions of chairman, vice chairman, secretary-general, etc., like many central enterprises, this level is also established by convention, and there will be special requirements for elected group members.
The reason why Chen Daoming was elected as the chairman of the Film Association is that he took the road of establishment from the beginning. He was first rated as a national first-class actor.We often see the word
, but we don’t understand the meaning behind it. National first-class actor is not only the highest professional title for an actor, but also enjoys special subsidies from the State Council. The professional title level is senior.
then became a member of the 3rd National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference as an industry representative, and later became a national representative of the "Federation of Literary and Art Circles", a "film performing artist" of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and a "four batch" talent of the Central Propaganda Department. His path to advancement Almost all are on the road to preparation.
So this time he was elected as the chairman of the Film Association. It’s really not surprising. Where are the achievements and job qualifications in the industry, who would you choose if you don’t choose him?
Let’s take a look at the vice presidents of this year’s Film Association. Yu Dong, Andy Lau, Wu Jing, Huang Bo, and Huang Xiaoming are all people who understand the rules.
Market traffic is certainly important, but under China’s national conditions, the path to compilation is still the safest. This is why Zhang Yixing, who had a good relationship with Huang Bo and Sun Honglei some time ago, also started to associate with theaters.
Logically speaking, returning artists like Zhang Yixing are following the path of idols, but because of his predecessors like Huang Bo and Huang Lei, they helped him choose a very safe path in acting, and his future is stable. ah!
