Behind Zheng Shuang's huge compensation case: the spirit of contract and the reflection of fan culture in the entertainment industry
After nearly two years of long waiting, Zhang Fan finally waited for the civil judgment of the Jiangxi Provincial High People's Court at the end of 2022. This verdict is not only a safeguard of his personal rights and interests, but also an important defense of the spirit of contract in the entertainment industry. The judgment requires Zheng Shuang's Cool Bear Studio and Jiujiang Herd Effect Studio, which is 100% controlled by Zheng Shuang, to refund a total of 120 million yuan in service fees from Shanghui Film and Television, the producer of "Top Secret". This figure has undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the entertainment industry and has aroused widespread attention and discussion.
Looking back on the whole incident, we have to mention the TV series "Top Secret" starring Zheng Shuang. As a highly anticipated spy war drama, the play is in trouble because of a series of controversial behaviors of the starring Zheng Shuang. As an investor in the show, Zhang Fan had to face huge economic losses and public opinion pressure after the Zheng Shuang incident broke out. He chose to defend his rights and interests through legal means, which is undoubtedly a difficult but correct decision.
In this case, we see the importance of the spirit of contract in the entertainment industry. The spirit of contract is the foundation of the business society and the key to the normal operation of the entertainment industry. When a celebrity or studio breaks the contract, it not only damages their own reputation, but also negatively affects the industry as a whole. Therefore, we must have zero tolerance for non-compliance. The judgment of the Jiangxi Provincial High People's Court is undoubtedly a strong defense of this spirit of contract, and a warning to other potential defaulters.
However, this case also gives us a glimpse of the other side of fan culture. In the process of chasing stars, fans often have extreme admiration and trust for their favorite stars. This emotion is positive and healthy in most cases, but when there is controversy or negative press about a celebrity, the reaction of fans tends to become extreme and irrational. In this case, Zhang Fan revealed that since he entered the second-instance trial procedure, he often received calls from Zheng Shuang's fans, in addition to insulting and accusing. This behavior not only violates Zhang Fan's personal rights and interests, but also exposes some problems in fan culture.
First of all, fans should respect the rights and interests of others. Whether celebrities or ordinary people, everyone should be treated equally and with respect. When there is controversy among celebrities, fans should remain calm and reasonable, and express their opinions and demands through legal channels, instead of taking irrational behaviors such as abuse and accusations.
Secondly, fans should establish the right values. Star-chasing is a form of entertainment and should not exceed a certain boundary. Fans should understand that celebrities are also ordinary people, and they also make mistakes and mistakes. Therefore, in the process of chasing stars, fans should maintain a rational and objective attitude, and do not over-mythologize and worship stars. At the same time, fans should also pay attention to their own life and growth, and don't invest too much energy and time in chasing stars.
Returning to the case itself, we can see Zhang Fan's efforts and persistence in the process of protecting his rights and interests. He not only recovered huge financial losses through legal channels, but also set a good example for the entire entertainment industry. His deeds tell us that no matter how great the difficulties and pressures we face, as long as we adhere to justice and truth, we will definitely be able to win the final victory.
At the same time, we should also see the responsibility and consequences borne by Zheng Shuang and his studio in this case. As public figures and business entities, they should strictly abide by the spirit of the contract and business ethics, and must not violate the contract for any reason or excuse. Otherwise, they will face legal sanctions and social condemnation.
In general, this Zheng Shuang's huge compensation case is not only an important defense of the spirit of contract in the entertainment industry, but also a deep reflection on fan culture. We should learn lessons from this case, strengthen the construction of the rule of law and morality in the entertainment industry, and promote the healthy development of fan culture. At the same time, we should also pay attention to and support those who have the courage to defend their rights and interests, uphold justice and truth, and jointly create a fair, just and harmonious social environment.
