Yam Tat-wah was stabbed. Who should guarantee the safety of the star？
Special feature of 1905 film network "peace,Thank you all. "
,
On July 22nd, Yam Tat-wah, an artist, made her first voice in Weibo after being stabbed for attending a commercial activity in Guangzhou Zhongshan Torch Development Zone. Reality is more magical than the script. No one ever thought that an ordinary business activity three days ago made the artist who was over 60 years old face the worry of his life.
After the incident, Weibo’s topic # Yam Tat-wah was attacked # has reached 2.3 billion, with 393,000 discussions. The personal safety of artists, the responsibility of mental patients and the mistakes of on-site security have become the focus of people’s topics.
According to Beijing Daily and other media reports, on July 22nd, Huo Wenxi, a senior manager of his brokerage company, King Entertainment, visited the hospital at noon, and announced that Yam Tat-wah’s condition was getting better now, and decided not to pursue the perpetrator after learning that he was suffering from mental illness. This matter may come to an end, but the sword of Damocles on the artist’s personal safety is still hanging high.
Whether the crew is filming, holding concerts, or taking part in roadshows, Shang Yan and other activities, artists’ safety problems often occur. From the early days when Ham and Selina were burned while filming TV series, to the injuries caused by falling off a horse while filming in Andy Lau, and then to the stabbing incident in Yam Tat-wah, such accidents never stopped.
Andy Lau fell off his horse because of work.
In which workplaces are artists vulnerable to personal safety threats, and which factors pose the greatest threat to them?
In this regard, Xiao Dianjun interviewed event companies, security companies, artist brokers, insurance companies and other related personnel. Through combing, it is not difficult to find that in the four most common workplaces where artists appear,The personal safety level from high to low is crew > concert > roadshow > Shang Yan..
The biggest threat to the personal safety of artists may come from the crazy stalking fan and the scalper party with chaotic rhythm.
Yam Tat-wah was stabbed, whose fault was it?
On the morning of July 20th, a video of Yam Tat-wah being stabbed in a business activity went viral on the Internet, causing a tsunami of public opinion. Ten hours later, the official Weibo of Zhongshan Public Security Bureau issued a briefing.
According to the report, after diagnosis by the Development Zone Hospital, Mr. Yam Tat-wah had a wound on his right abdomen with a width of 2 cm and a depth of 3 cm, and his organs were not injured. After treatment by the hospital, he was not life-threatening and the injury was stable. The psychiatrists of the Third People’s Hospital of Zhongshan City conducted mental examination and preliminary medical diagnosis on the suspect, and it was found that Chen Mou had mental disorder (paranoid schizophrenia, commonly known as "paranoia").
At present, the details of the case are still under investigation.
"How did you bring the knife in, how did you bring it to the stage, and what was the security guard doing?" "There are so many people at the scene, why don’t you stab others if they have mental problems?" … … Accompanied by the notification, many netizens asked questions.
"I watched this video and I was shocked." Zhao Ran (a pseudonym), the vice president of a security service company in Beijing who is mainly responsible for large-scale security activities, has six years’ experience. When talking about this matter, he still reveals an incredible tone.
In her view, there are two obvious mistakes made by on-site security personnel:First of all, the security response is too slow. When Yam Tat-wah was stabbed for the first time, the security should immediately come forward to control; Secondly, the short knife was brought to the scene and there was a loophole in the security check..
"Have you ever found that when this man came to power, he made a fake gesture of shaking hands? Just before Yam Tat-wah shook hands with him, he stabbed each other with a knife from his pocket. I think this shows that he was awake at that time, and he knew what he had to do to get to Yam Tat-wah more accurately. " Zhao Ran has his own judgment on the mental state of the criminal suspect when committing a crime.
"According to the provisions of the criminal law, a mental patient who causes harmful results when he can’t identify or control his behavior and is confirmed by legal procedures shall not bear criminal responsibility; If you commit a crime when you are mentally normal, you still have to bear criminal responsibility. Therefore, it depends on the mental state of the actor at that time, but the suspect of civil liability must bear it. " Lawyer Tao Yonghong of a law firm in Beijing told Xiao Dianjun.
In addition, he also believes that "the organizer has the obligation of security in the event. From this incident, it can be seen that the organizer has loopholes in security and should bear corresponding responsibilities. The security company shall bear the corresponding responsibilities in accordance with the terms of the contract. "
From this point of view, regardless of whether Yam Tat-wah investigated the criminal suspect’s responsibility. The organizers of this event and the security personnel at the scene have an unshirkable responsibility for the stabbing of Yam Tat-wah.
Personal Safety Levels of Artists in Four Scenes
Cast > Concert > Roadshow > Shang Yan
As the People’s Daily official Wei said, "A sharp knife stabbed Yam Tat-wah and also stabbed the public’s worries." In which work scenes are public figures such as artists vulnerable to personal safety threats?
Filming, concerts, roadshows and Shang Yan are the main sources of artists’ income, and it is easiest for ordinary audiences to see the true meaning of love beans in the above four scenes. In the high-frequency work scene, it is undoubtedly of practical significance to discuss the personal safety threat of artists.
First of all, when filming, in order to ensure that the plot content will not be leaked, artists basically do not contact with the outside world except for media visits and location shooting. In the acquaintance environment, the threat to the personal safety of artists mainly comes from filming itself.
In terms of shooting, when there is an action scene with high risk factor, it will be completed by a professional body double. When shooting other explosion scenes, it is generally operated by professionals, so the probability of danger is relatively small, and it is the safest among the four.
In the remaining three scenes, the artist’s personal bodyguard, the security forces arranged by the activists and the public security police constitute the three security walls on the scene. No matter how many cities, according to the relevant laws and regulations, concerts need to be reported to the public security organs. After approval, there will be public security forces to maintain the order of activities on the spot.
Jacky Cheung concert
In recent years, there is a saying on the Internet that Jacky Cheung is a criminal nemesis. Because in its past concerts, criminals have been caught seven times. This also shows from the side that the participation of public security forces makes the safety work of the concert more rigorous.
In terms of roadshows and Shang Yan, first-tier cities such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen are different from other cities. This also means that roadshows and Shang Yan in small cities may only be composed of the artists’ bodyguards (if any) and the security forces at the scene.
"Beijing, Wuhan, Shanghai and other places are still relatively strict. If the number of such activities exceeds a certain number, the public security organs are not allowed to enter again, not only to ensure the safety of the audience, but also to ensure the safety of artists." Fang Qifeng, vice president of Power Media, who has held roadshows for films such as TV and TV, said so.
According to its introduction, in their roadshow activities, the first-line artists will each be equipped with four bodyguards, requiring security personnel to hold security certificates, with a height of more than 180 cm, while other artists will use general security. Generally, there are 4 stickers for a campus roadshow, and 20 male students are used for security in the venue.
In campus roadshows, due to the high quality of students in general, there are few unexpected situations in past roadshows. The only time there was a situation, He Jiong was chased by enthusiastic students in a campus flash mob. Because of the better route planning, he quickly got on the bus and left safely.
"The most troublesome thing is the activities in the business district or square. There are many people and the personnel composition is complicated, which is difficult to control." Years of practical experience have made Fang Qifeng feel deeply.
Li Xian, the male host of "Dear, Loving", has become the "current boyfriend" in the hearts of countless drama-chasing girls. On July 19th, in order to further increase the popularity of TV series, a fan meeting was held in a shopping mall in Tianjin. Because the number of people on the scene exceeded the safe range, the event was forced to cancel.
The meeting between Andy and Li Xian was cancelled due to security problems.
It is self-evident that Shang Yan conducted in this environment poses a potential threat to the personal safety of artists. On the whole, among the four scenes with the highest frequency of artists, the security levels from low to high are Shang Yan, roadshows, concerts and crews in squares with large traffic or shopping malls.
Stalking fan and scalpers are the biggest personal safety threats to artists.
"The security ratio of ordinary activities can be controlled at 3% to 5%, that is, when there are 100 spectators, the security configuration is 3 to 5 people, but it depends on the actual situation. How can traffic artists come safely?" This is a summary of Zhao Ran’s years of work experience.
In concerts and other activities with important influence or the participation of artists, in addition to the guarantee of artists, the security of fixed positions in the venue and the public security forces, when the activities involve the government, the armed police and the security bureau will also participate.
"There are many fans who are irrational and crazy. Security is generally a boy. No matter whether you touch her or not, she will frame you for sexual harassment, and then all kinds of rogues, alarms and crying. The ultimate goal is to let me in and I will ignore it." In her opinion, crazy fans are the most threatening to the personal safety of artists attending various activities.
The same is true. The crazy behavior of fans in idolize has caused psychological or physical harm to artists.In 2013, while promoting the film, a naked male fan suddenly jumped on Cecilia Han. In 2016, when Liu Yifei held a meeting for film promotion, he was tackled by a crazy male fan. In the same year, Lu Han met stalking fan who followed the car and didn’t follow the car, which almost caused a car accident.
Liu Yifei was thrown down by fans while promoting the film.
"There were times when fans were out of control, but fortunately, they were not accidentally hurt because the staff closely protected the artists." Meimei (pseudonym), who has many years of experience as a film and television artist agent, said this when recalling past experiences. Lele (a pseudonym), who used to be the agent of an action star in China, also encountered the same problem. From a certain point of view, when danger comes, it is more likely that brokers and other related staff will rush out to protect artists first.
In addition, the chaotic scalper party is also a big threat to the personal safety of stars. At the concert and other scenes, the security company will also divide some security forces to deal with scalpers.
"Because of our strict inspection, the fake tickets and fake certificates they sell can’t get in, so they will make trouble with their fans and make a fuss." The chaotic scalper party, while attracting the attention of security personnel, will certainly reduce the number of security personnel who maintain the personal safety of artists.
Concert security
The existence of "black security" also poses a certain threat to the artist. It is reported that security companies are managed by public security organs, and they are divided into one, two and three levels according to their qualifications. An unqualified security company is "black security". The security industry has a special qualification certificate called security certificate, and people with criminal record can’t take the exam.
For activity companies, when looking for security companies, the lack of professional docking will also leave hidden dangers for activities. Some activity companies admit that after cooperating with a number of security companies, they can determine which one is more formal, safe and secure.
How can artists avoid personal safety risks in advance?
With the continuous sinking of the performance market, it is normal for many artists to go deep into the third-and fourth-tier cities to seek gold.
"When undertaking activities, including film promotion, we must choose venues with high safety factors, and remote places can pick them up, but we must carefully weigh the rights and interests in advance, because remote areas cannot save the occurrence of zero hidden dangers." In the face of how to weigh income and personal safety, agent Meimei gave her own judgment standard.
According to its introduction, when an artist needs to attend the event site, the agent or staff will check the security issues with the activity party in advance and allocate appropriate police personnel according to the size of the venue. In the process of taking the show and Shang Yan, insurance is an essential part of contract negotiation.
"Organizers generally insure accident insurance for stars, which is mainly used for accident compensation and reimbursement of unexpected medical expenses. However, the general insurance coverage is limited, usually several million or 120 million, which may conform to the provisions of the contract between the two parties, but may not be worthy of the star’s worth. Therefore, it is best for stars to have their own insurance all the year round. "Li Yanpeng, senior director of Mingya Insurance, told Xiao Dianjun.
Backstage security of performing arts activities
When artists attend Shang Yan and concerts, the most common insurances purchased by the organizers are group accident insurance and public liability insurance. In Yam Tat-wah’s assassination, if the organizer buys the above insurance, the group accident insurance is most likely to take effect. In the past accidents, Ham’s burns while filming were covered by the crew insurance, while Jolin Tsai’s concert stage collapse was covered by the group accident insurance.
In addition, he also said that when artists sign contracts with Shang Yan, they should not only pay attention to insurance matters, but also pay attention to the security configuration at the scene and whether there is an emergency rescue plan.
Security during Yam Tat-wah’s hospitalization.
In the video of Yam Tat-wah’s assassination, it can be seen that the organizer lacks sufficient emergency plan. In terms of how to go and which hospital to go to, the injured need to ask themselves.
After this incident, in a short period of time, artists will definitely raise their awareness of safety when attending Shang Yan, concerts and filming. In a longer period of time, no one can predict whether the next "Yam Tat-wah" will appear.
