Veteran actor Jiang Houren criticized the chaos in the entertainment industry and called for the establishment of a license system

[Reporter Li Shaoling/Taipei Report] 71-year-old veteran actor Jiang Houren fired! The former chairman of the Taipei Performing Arts Union, he posted a thousand-word article on Facebook today (5th) with the title "The Importance of Performing Arts Licenses", criticizing a series of scandals in Taiwan's entertainment industry in recent years, ranging from communist licking, desertion to sexual assault, all due to the government's historical "incompetence" and " He did not do anything" and allowed the orchards to grow wildly. He went all out to criticize the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Bell Awards for "gold and jade, but failure among them." He directly named the Minister of Culture Li Yuan: "You have a salary and a salary, and the people are rich and generous. The people are easy to abuse, but the heaven is hard to bully!" The artillery fire was extremely fierce.

Jiang Houren revealed the old inside story of the entertainment industry, revealing that Ge Xiangting founded the Actors Guild, and even Soong Chuyu allocated real estate to support it. Unexpectedly, after the second term Ke Junxiong took over, the "Golden Dragon Awards" lost funds, sold the real estate, and the union became a "shellless snail". Later, he even wanted to use his position as political capital. Jiang Houren recalled that at that time, no one dared to stand in the way of making money, so he had no choice but to take over the chairmanship "in spite of the threats from the underworld". He then pushed for the name to be changed to the "Performing Arts Union" and included people behind the scenes to fight for labor and health insurance. He also recruited Yu Tian, ​​Zhang Fei, Zhu Geliang and others to take charge of the singer and host committees respectively.

Unfortunately, when he pushed for a "license system" and required artists to obtain a license for employment, the competent authorities were perfunctory and delayed by saying that "a democratic society should not force management." Seeing that the entertainment industry has become the law of the jungle, "the streets are full of 'barley' and everyone is a 'trick'", he couldn't help but criticize Taiwan's entertainment industry as having no data and rules and turning it into a special industry: "How many actors are there in Taiwan? How many directors? What is the average educational level? What is the income? Haha, I can give you a bubble gum for the answer!"

Jiang Houren’s girlfriend Tong Xin, who is 24 years younger, also left a supportive message below, offering support from a rational perspective. Tongxin believes that "certificate care can only control the threshold, but cannot control people's hearts." It is obviously not enough to issue an extra piece of paper. He also points out that a truly mature system requires a complete set of supporting facilities, including occupational disaster retirement statistics, safety regulations, and a punishment and restitution mechanism for sexual harassment and bullying. "Instead of relying on public opinion to block today, and tomorrow to rely on traffic to revive."

She summed up more succinctly, "The value of the system is not that it can create saints, but that it can help society function well without waiting for everyone to be a saint." The couple sang together, one with firepower and the other with rational analysis, which immediately aroused heated discussions in the community.
