Lee Jong Suk and Jun Ji Hyun will gradually fade away. Which one do you choose, patriotism or idols?

Although the "Korean Restriction Order" is a fake imperial decree, it still caused a big uproar. TV dramas changed roles, advertisements changed spokespersons, and program footage was cut. Regardless of whether this is a spontaneous action of the people, it has already set off a huge wave in the entertainment industry. This may fundamentally mean that your second master, Bigbang, professor, and Lee Min Ho are getting farther and farther away from you. From now on, you can only live a life of looking for resources everywhere.

What changes will happen if the ban on Korean culture is really implemented?

The script will be mainly adapted from novels, and the standards for radio and television review may be lowered as a result

If someone expects that after the ban on Korean films, domestic creators will stop importing Korean culture and embark on a path of independent innovation, then you are too optimistic about the current situation. Because even if there is no Korea, there are still Europe and the United States, and there are many choices. In short, it will not have much impact on innovation, and in the short term, the number of bad films will definitely increase.

When there are no ready-made works to imitate and excellent screenwriters are rare, the shortcut of novel adaptation will be trampled by countless directors. Obviously, novel remakes are already very successful. No matter which one is taken out, "The Princess Weiyoung", "The Journey of Flower" or "Love O2O", they all claim to have set a new high in ratings. This is a good business opportunity, but fans of the original novels must be mentally prepared. After all, the producers and investors will not consider who is closer to the protagonist. What they consider is how to ensure that their pockets will not be empty without South Korea, their partner in making money together.

When the script is no longer original, it is undoubtedly more difficult to guarantee the quality of the TV series. The quality of the adaptation determines whether the ratings of the finished product will hit a new low. In addition, the strict review standards make it more difficult for low-quality adaptations to pass the review. In this way, it is difficult to guarantee the output quantity. Faced with this contradictory and unavoidable fact, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has to lower the review standards. This means that you have to finish the road you have chosen even if you have to kneel down.

The SARFT has committed many crimes in the past two years, such as the fact that Empress Wu was edited into a "big-headed Wu" due to the costume issue. Of course, the SARFT explained it immediately, saying that it was the public who said that such images affected the values ​​of young people, so where did you put adults? Not to mention the ban on films like To Live.

But if you look closely, you will find some subtle changes. At the beginning of this year, six online dramas including "Prince Consort" were ordered to make rectifications, and the popular "Soul Ferry 2" was also reported to be banned. It can be seen that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television took ruthless measures at that time. However, this year "Soul Ferry 3" has been successfully completed, and many online dramas have also been successfully broadcast. This further confirms what was mentioned above, that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will have to lower the review standards.

The phenomenon of skyrocketing pay for domestic stars is serious, and variety shows may be slightly reduced as a result

Since we are talking about entertainment, it is inevitable that we will talk about the variety shows that have sprung up in the past two years. Among these variety shows, more than half are linked to South Korea. The three giants, "Running Man", "Go Fighting" and "I Am a Singer", are all imported from South Korea. At present, they will be affected to some extent. For example, the members of "Planet Alliance" and "Go! Pretty Girls" have been replaced. Faced with such a severe situation, coupled with the previous entertainment restrictions, variety shows are already treading on thin ice.

In addition to these, another reason why variety shows may be reduced is the difficult-to-regulate pay. Although there have been rumors of a "salary cap" before, it has not been very effective. Jiang Jinfu even had a dispute with Tangren because of this. The sky-high pay in China has been rehashed countless times. Huang Zhilei once said at a press conference that the pay in China can be said to be a hundred times that of South Korea. The most obvious comparison is that of Liu Zaishi and Deng Chao, who are both captains of "Running Man" and "Running Man". Although Liu Zaishi has a foundation and acting skills in South Korea, his pay is still difficult to compare.

However, as Jackie Chan said, the market trend is that it depends on both parties. The pay of stars is already difficult to control. When the activities of Korean stars are restricted, fans will need more support. At this time, there will naturally be people flocking to young and handsome domestic stars or any valuable stars, so there is no hope of reducing their pay.

Combining the above two points, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will definitely make adjustments to variety shows, but the extent of the adjustments is difficult to estimate, so we still need to wait and see.

How to face the ban on Korean products

After all this talk, why do we need to restrict Korea? Let’s not talk about it from a political perspective. The current entertainment industry has a serious trend of Koreanization. More and more people are crazy about Korea. This brainwashing tendency misleads the public’s aesthetics and will affect the development of our country’s cultural entertainment to a certain extent. But is there really nothing worth learning from Korea’s cultural and entertainment industry?

Let's talk about Korean dramas first. In many people's eyes, Korean dramas are equal to brain-dead. But Korean actors are not only good-looking. Take Lee Jong Suk for example. Whether it's "Doctor Stranger" or "I Hear Your Voice" or "W Two Worlds", each work has a different character. Whether it's the lines, eyes and expressions, the performance is really on point. On the other hand, the domestic young actors have a blank face when they are cold, stare when they need acting skills, and frown at the last big move. The domineering president will only say "You are my woman". In martial arts dramas, they are either the star of destiny or the power of the wild. Every few days, there will be a number lady. I can only say that I don't like people with blank faces. People are responsible.

Unlike Hollywood blockbusters, most Korean movies have low investment and high returns, such as the recent "Train to Busan". But the audience buys it. The audience does not choose Korean movies for excitement, but for the delicate and realistic ones. Moreover, the creative freedom of Korean movies is terrible. A sensitive movie like "The Attorney" would have been banned ten thousand times in China.

In any case, the restriction on Korean films may be an opportunity for the domestic film and television industry to reform itself, but opportunities are always accompanied by risks. Only with appropriate freedom can good works be produced, while absolute restrictions will only backfire.
