Why didn't Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao attend the Spring Festival Gala later?

Many of Peisi Chen's sketches premiered on CCTV. Due to the national background and too much emphasis on economic benefits, CCTV repeatedly uses works created by others for profit (people call them "ratings"). CCTV thought that no actor would sue them. Generally speaking, on the eve of the live broadcast of the Spring Festival gala, the literary and art department of CCTV will find an actor or copyright owner to "pay the bill" and pay about 2,000 yuan. The future right to use a work will be owned by CCTV. So far, no actor has raised any objection to this. As a result, Peisi Chen sued CCTV.

Attachment: When Peisi Chen of Huaxi Dushi Bao answered our hotline, many viewers strongly urged him to return to CCTV Spring Festival Evening. Every time I heard these words, Peisi Chen calmly explained: "Busy with the balcony, the performance contract has been signed in May, and I can't spare time for the program." But when he put down the phone, there was a trace of unspeakable disappointment in his eyes, and he said gently, "I am taking the market-oriented road, which is different from CCTV."

News replay: In 2000, Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao won the case against China International Television Corporation. The court ruled that the defendant immediately stopped the infringement, apologized in the newspaper, and compensated him for economic losses of 333,293 yuan. The reason is that the company released the VCD discs of the sketches they performed in previous Spring Festival Galas without permission, including 8 sketches such as Eating Noodles, Making a Movie, The Police and the Thief, The Leading Role and Supporting Role, The Police and the Brother-in-law.

How is the execution of the court's judgment today? How does the lawsuit affect them? Do they regret it? Yesterday, Peisi Chen accepted an exclusive interview with this newspaper.

330 thousand dare not take it

Q: Has the court awarded 330,000 yuan to sue CCTV arrived?

(hereinafter referred to as "Chen"): They (China International Television Corporation) have infringed upon the rights so far and refused to execute the court decision. I dare not take that 30 thousand or 30 thousand, because there are armed police at the door. There is a couplet in Wuhou Temple, "What's going on in the world is unfinished, why not let it go?" . If you can't do it, let it go. I don't want to delay others, they are busy with national and world affairs. For personal benefit, I won't go on forever. It is meaningless for the media to say that people in their fifties are still speculating. There is a saying that "if you cross a bridge, you must cross it." If the whole society thinks stealing is inappropriate, no one will steal; Everyone thinks it's stealing if you don't take it for nothing. Which TV station doesn't steal programs now?

A lawsuit without regrets.

Q: Some people say that you are the first person to fire CCTV Spring Festival Evening?

Chen: I'm not. I'm just fighting for legal rights with Zhu Shimao. We have a normal working contract relationship with them, and both sides must do what they should do!

Q: Did you repent after the lawsuit?

Chen: No, Zhu Shimao and I expected it from the day we went to court, and we never regretted it. It is legitimate for a person to fight for his legitimate rights and interests. If he can't protect himself, he shouldn't live in the world. I don't go to the Spring Festival Gala, and I don't perform skits. This is not my only artistic creation field and space. I can live well without it.

Lao Mao is shooting a TV series.

Q: Have the living conditions of you and Zhu Shimao changed since the lawsuit?

Chen: Great changes have taken place in our life, but it has little to do with the lawsuit. If we go to Shang Yan, it won't be like this. It is very difficult to give yourself a climb now, that is, to do drama. Lao Mao is also doing TV dramas.

I respect you for letting you come!

Q: When you first attended the Spring Festival Gala, what was the situation in the group? What about now?

Chen: In the first half of the Spring Festival Gala, the director greeted him: "There is a program this year! Tell me what you think, and I'll ask the director to call you! " I remember that in the process of making Noodles, the director, several screenwriters, Jiang Kun, Ma Ji and many others discussed it together and finished a work together. One year, I insisted on playing donkey and let Lao Mao play farmer. Neither the director nor the actors agreed that the audience could not see my face. But I'm one-track-minded, and I blush with everyone. At that time, everyone was very enthusiastic, and there was only one purpose, and that was art!

The current censorship system and creative atmosphere are different from the original. Now the Spring Festival Gala has become a popular place, and the relationship between supply and demand is different. It's not that you finish a work with them, but that your arrival is respected!

There is no Spring Festival Gala anymore.

Q: There was a media survey before, and many viewers hoped to see your cooperation with Zhu Shimao again at the Spring Festival Evening. Have you ever thought about it?

Chen: Thank you! But I won't do it again. I haven't touched the Spring Festival Gala now, and I don't know anything. As long as the infringement problem is not solved, I will ignore the Spring Festival Gala for one day.

There are too many things behind the scenes.

Q: Why do you think that the Spring Festival Gala has changed from being loved by the national audience to being controversial now?

Chen: There are many factors. Some people say there are too many things behind the scenes. I don't understand these behind-the-scenes things. I can only swear to Lao Mao with my conscience: "We didn't!" Then someone said, "Just the two of you."

In addition, there are too many large-scale parties, the demand for programs is too great, and the talent pool is insufficient. There are only a few people for decades. Young actors have bad manners. When they become famous, they will inevitably take part in commercial activities and have no time to create and produce good works.

Spring Festival Evening "Prosperity leads to Decline"

Q: How can the Spring Festival Gala restore its former glory?

Chen: Prosperity leads to decline. When a thing is prosperous to the extreme, its attention reaches to the extreme, and it will inevitably decline. Once it decays, it will only be replaced by something new.
