Behind the star’s blessing video for the fraud head directory： as long as it’s not bad money？
BEIJING, Beijing, November 19 (Liu Yue) A birthday party and a VCR brought a group of "old opera bones" to the forefront.
Recently, the topic of "Many stars gave birth to Bai Yingcang, the son of Bai Suocheng, the four families in northern Myanmar" triggered a hot discussion on the Internet. In the online video, a birthday VCR was played on the big screen of the banquet hall, and a group of stars and online celebrity shouted birthday greetings to the camera, including many well-known entertainers such as Ceng Zhiwei, Du Xudong and Hou Yaohua.
On the evening of November 17th, Du Xudong recorded a video to apologize to the public. He said that the matter originated from a friend’s entrustment a long time ago, and at that time, due to his feelings, he recorded this video. He apologized to the audience, saying that he didn’t verify the identity and background of this person, and now he deeply blames himself for the consequences.
On November 18th, another video of an actor apologizing for this incident was posted on the hot search. Cao Chali, a Hong Kong actor, posted a video on his personal account, apologizing for the birthday celebration of the telecom fraud leader in North Myanmar. Cao Chali said that he was persuaded by his agent to take the job, and he didn’t know the specific use of the video in advance. "In order to live and eat, there is no way to make some money. I hope everyone will forgive my behavior. "

Is it illegal for a star to "celebrate his birthday" as a fraud leader?
White should be pale, who is it?
According to many media reports, Bai Yingcang, the son of Bai Suocheng, one of the four families in northern Myanmar, is the general manager of Yum! Brands (Yum! Casino) and the founder of Cangsheng Science and Technology Fraud Park.
Who are Du Xudong and Cao Chali?
Du Xudong, an actor from the mainland of China, is a national first-class actor. He has appeared in many well-known TV series, such as Da Zhai Men, Da Song Xing Guan, Imperial Doctor Xilaile and Romance of the New Three Kingdoms. Cao Chali, a Hong Kong actor in China, once participated in 82 Tenants and never to lose.
"We must find out in the end." "How many innocent people have they killed and celebrated his birthday?" "Even if the two sides don’t know each other, it is hard to convince the public without punishment" … … Some people questioned Du Xudong’s words: How can a fraud leader, a well-known actor and an irrelevant identity be linked together based on "mutual affection"? Some people also expressed sympathy for Cao Chali: an old man always has to provide for the aged and live, and he dared to admit his mistake and stood up and admitted that he had received money.
There are also netizens’ concerns: Are they breaking the law?
"First of all, if the video content only includes birthday wishes, and the star does not know in advance the illegal and criminal acts that others may constitute, then the recording behavior and the recording content itself do not violate the law." Wu Zikun, a lawyer at Beijing Xingquan Law Firm, said.
"If the content of the video recorded by the star does not belong to or has obviously exceeded the scope of birthday wishes, and the individual or enterprise that obtained the video commits illegal and criminal acts, then the specific situation of the video recorded by the star should be analyzed, that is, whether the star knows the illegal and criminal acts of the video recording object, whether the recorded content is substantially related to the illegal and criminal acts, etc., and it needs corresponding evidence to support it, so as to judge whether the behavior recorded by the star is suspected of constituting a joint crime."
At the same time, Wu Zikan emphasized that stars, as a group with high social influence and a large number of fans, need to maintain a stricter sense of social responsibility, and should cherish their feathers, instead of taking illegality as the standard to measure their behavior.
"Although the above-mentioned act of recording a blessing video to the criminal subject may not be illegal in itself, with the fermentation of the situation, it is bound to have a serious negative impact on the public image of the star. Therefore, stars should strictly grasp and be cautious when recording any video, audio and other materials. This is not only responsible for their own public image, but also for the social impact that their actions may cause. "

"As long as the money is not bad, the star can send blessings to your mother."
"Can I find Du Xudong to record a video? How much does he quote? "
“1500。”
"Can he read my mother’s name?"
"yes."
The above conversation took place between the reporter and the customer service of an e-commerce platform shop named "Huayang Media". On the front page of the store, there are photos of many famous artists such as YiBo, Chyi Chin and Tang Guoqiang, and the slogan "Senior brokers record with the stars themselves" is hung. During the exchange, the customer service told reporters that as long as the money is in place, you can immediately customize the recorded copy specific to the name of the person and arrange the star shooting.
"Huayang Media" is not a case. In the major e-commerce platforms, you only need to search with the keyword "star blessing", and many businesses that provide such services come into view. It can be described as countless and varied.
"It is a relatively complete industrial chain for the dead stars to shoot all kinds of blessing videos. Many times, it is recorded and produced in batches through intermediary companies, and it is very likely that the stars themselves don’t know ‘ Blessing ’ The object. " An industry insider revealed to reporters.
He said that in general, this kind of blessing has a fixed template, and there are many words to add money. If the consumer budget is sufficient, the star can also sing. "Who doesn’t want to earn this money? It’s simple and easy. Especially in recent years, the entertainment circle is not easy to mix, and many established artists rely on this to make a living. "

Make a living or make a fortune from it? Wang Qi (a pseudonym), who is mainly engaged in artist brokerage, gave the reporter a different answer.
"How much is it to record a video in Du Xudong?"
"Twenty thousand."
"It’s too expensive."
"Expensive is expensive, safe. We are all on the front line, and they can’t find it. "
Wang Qi told reporters that as long as "not bad money", everything is easy to talk about. Compared with e-commerce stores, Wang Qi’s business premium is serious, but he plausibly said: "As long as it is not bad, I can fight for it."
As if to prove his credibility, Wang Qi dumped a series of "cases" for reporters, including VCRs of wedding wishes recorded by famous artists such as Guo Donglin, Song Xiaobao, Sun Nan, Wu Qixian, Jeff Chang Shin-Che and Guan Xiaotong.
"They all recorded wedding blessing videos for me. There are more than one hundred, so I won’t send them to you one by one."

In Wang Qikou’s mouth, stars can record wedding wishes, birthday wishes, product blessing videos, company wishes, corporate wishes and so on. The specific price should be determined according to the recorded content. Wang Qi, who is full of rivers and lakes, gave reporters a list of artists, covering the old, middle-aged and young, including film and television songs, and even big names and well-known hosts in the cross talk circle. The lineup is comparable to a luxury party.
"Can I take the idle fish (third-party trading platform)?"
"No, WeChat or Alipay."
"Stars record wedding blessing videos for each other, which only represents their good wishes for their marriage life, but does not mean authorizing them to use their own portraits, voices and other personality rights. If the other party uses the video recorded by the star to carry out commercial propaganda and promotion for his own business without the authorization of the star, it may violate the relevant provisions of the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and be suspected of infringing on the personality rights such as the portrait rights and voice rights of the star. " Wu Zikan explained.
He also pointed out that "the behavior of customizing fees and selling star videos is actually the sales behavior of goods and services. Even if the seller requests to pay through WeChat, Alipay, etc., it should also declare and pay the corresponding taxes according to Chinese laws. If the seller has hidden income, underreporting and underpayment, etc., it may involve tax evasion."
Well-known star teams rumored to record such videos.
For the list of artists given by Wang Qi, Zhongxin.com contacted the staff of Guan Xiaotong and JC-T in Wang Qi’s quotation.
"This actually someone will believe it? It’s too fake. " JC-T’s staff responded to the reporter: "It’s too outrageous. We also let the legal affairs check it out."
Guan Xiaotong’s agent Huo Dongjie bluntly said: "It’s completely false, and this kind of thing has never existed. We will not open such windows and channels. "
He recalled that a few years ago, Guan Xiaotong was invited to settle in a platform, and he could quote others to record videos, but the team refused after the evaluation. "It is impossible to make money by this thing. We are actors, and our main business is to complete our own performing arts work."
Search for all kinds of businesses with "star blessing" on the e-commerce platform.
Regarding the "Guan Xiaotong Wedding Blessing" video provided by Wang Qi, Huo Dongjie said, "It can only be the staff, relatives and friends around me, saying that Xiao Tong needs to record a video to bless him, and we also know that it may be recorded for him, but even so, we will not collect money."
"Generally, it will only be put at weddings and will not be used elsewhere. This is something that everyone in the industry basically knows. This is completely fraud. " Huo Dongjie suspects that these videos, which rely on "human feelings" to help the stars record, were intercepted and preserved by people with a heart and used as gimmicks to swindle. It is also possible for people who receive blessings to use this as a "case" to sell dog meat to cheat money.
"If he cheated others of the relevant expenses, and if he didn’t achieve this goal, others would come to him, and we would also sue him through legal channels. Because you haven’t got any authorization from me, taking this thing to make a profit and make a profit is definitely an infringement. "
Wu Zikan confirmed Huo Dongjie’s statement: "The reason why a star becomes a star is based on its own high popularity and outstanding commercial value. Therefore, in addition to the close groups such as relatives and friends of the stars, there are indeed many people who don’t know the stars themselves and want to get the videos and other materials taken by the stars themselves through various channels. In this case, it is difficult for the stars to guarantee that they can master the identity of everyone who gets the videos. "
"In this transaction, if the consumer is deceived by the seller who sells the star video, he can’t get the agreed ‘ Commodity ’ At this time, the seller’s behavior may be suspected of violating the relevant provisions including Article 224 of the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), which may constitute contract fraud and other civil torts that infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Consumers can consider safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests by complaining to consumer associations, industrial and commercial departments, or filing civil lawsuits and reporting cases to public security organs according to actual conditions.
