, Actor of the series After the Rain, criticized the producers’ dishonesty in paying the actors’ wages and said: “The producers are taking advantage of the conditions of inflation and high prices, and that’s why actors of my age and my husband Mahmoud Pak Niat prefer not to work instead of wanting to.” Let’s work and not get paid.
According to Artmag, Mahvash Sabrkon, in an interview explaining her current situation, said: I have not been working for a while because the payment of wages by radio and television producers is so painful that I have given her the gift of work.
The actor of the movie Tashrifat (Mehdi Fakhimzadeh, 1985) continued: During the Corona period, I worked on the series Shadows of Rana, which was done in June 2021, in the heat of 50 degrees Celsius in Gorgan, but we are still involved in the unpaid salary. For this reason, during this period, I have not accepted the suggested works, especially in the county.
She added: I decided to go towards better work and cinema and home shows.
Actor in the movie “On the way to the storm” (Masoud Jafari Jozani 1988), In response to the question: Has she been invited to work by cinema and home shows during this time, he said: I had a movie offer, but when I talked about the payment, they did not call me. I also had the series Dance on the Glass on the home show network; We signed a contract, I had done make-up and clothes and other works, but when it came to the sequences of me and Mr. Zanjanpour, the work project fell asleep due to financial reasons and we were told that the director took the money.
Sabrkon continued: The work was no longer recorded and apparently they edited and broadcast what was filmed.
The producer must have a rich wallet
The actress of the television series After the Rain (Saeed Soltani 1998), while explaining the management gaps in the production of television works, noted: The producers blame IRIB for payment problems and delays, but this is not our first time and we have been working for years. Pak Niat and I believe that the producer should have a big wallet, give us money and when his wallet is empty, fill it with the money he gets from IRIB.
She added: Based on this, not everyone can become a producer, that is, when he calls himself a producer, his account must be full. The producers are abusing the conditions of inflation and high prices, and for example, they are very late in the final installments. When we worked on the series My Daughter Narges and it ended in September 2018; We came, and two years later, with a lot of running, complaining and following up, I was able to revive my 40 million creditors, or for the same series of Rana’s Shadows as I said, I have 20 million creditors and I have to run and run constantly to get my right.
The actor of the TV series Prophet Joseph (PBUH) made by Farajollah Salahshoor in 2008, said: That’s why people of my age and Pak Niat prefer not to work, instead of wanting to work and not get paid.
When the level of work goes down, the audience’s taste also goes down
Sabrkon clarified: We know that the country’s economic problems spread to the radio and television, and this organization definitely has its problems, but why do the elders of the radio and television give a producer 3 jobs at the same time to hurt him?
She added: With this condition, when the party takes three jobs, it injures and leaves. this is not right. Because actors and agents are bothered in this situation…
The actress of the movie Ghazal (Mojtabi Rai 1995) continued: Today in the most remote villages of ours, they follow painful Turkish serials and they like them because the colors and pictures are beautiful. It may not have content in our opinion, but it is satisfying for some people. This change in taste happened bit by bit and reached a point where it is very difficult to change today.
This old actress, emphasizing the harmful effects of changing people’s taste, said: At one time, we were working on the TV series Prophet Joseph (pbuh), and at the same time, we were working on prestigious series such as Dar Chashm-e Baad and Mokhtarnameh was produced and special works were done, but people watched because their taste was such that they welcomed good works.
The actor of the TV series The Fifth Sun (Alireza Afkhami 2009), emphasized: When Prophet Joseph (pbuh) was broadcast, the streets were really quiet, but when the level of work goes down, the audience’s taste also drops.
It hurts me that television will fail
Mahvash Sabrkon, explaining the reason for the popular stories of the home show network, said: When such good texts are used on platforms today and people like them, it proves that a good story and script is not a transcendental matter. These are our own writers, but because they are enticed and well paid, they put in the time and deliver a good product.
She added: It is clear that these texts are not given to IRIB that do not pay for them.
The actress of Dokhtarm Narges series (Bagher Piran 2020) stated: Maybe in the home show, there are low grade works and half of them are not good, but the other half are good; Personally, I like and follow the works of this media. The beginning of these stories was with Shahrazad series, which changed people’s taste. It will take a long time to recover the spoiled taste and bring the audience back to television.
This artist said: “My heart hurts and it’s a pity that television as a national media will fail.”
She said: Today, a special group has taken it over in home television channels, while many of my colleagues who worked in television series are unemployed and stay at home today, the poor works that are broadcasted on radio and television. was, in combination with satellite productions at first and then home show productions, caused a sharp drop in television audience.
