On July 20, in response to online comments about "Film and TV Hurricane employees accompanying their bosses to play the role of relaxed white people", Film and TV Hurricane MediaStorm issued an article in response, calling such interpretations "too vicious" and clarifying that the company pays taxes in compliance with laws and regulations, pays full social security insurance and one fund for employees, does not take up rest days for filming and has independent bonuses, and employee benefits continue to improve. At the same time, it emphasized that it produces a large amount of program content that promotes intangible cultural heritage and China. Founder Tim said, "I am proud to be Chinese, and I have been doing my part to build the motherland."
Recently, Film and TV Hurricane launched an AI practical course priced at 49 yuan. Sales exceeded 100,000 copies on the first day of launch, and the estimated single-day revenue exceeded 4.9 million yuan. However, it also received dozens of negative reviews focusing on "template-based operations without freedom" and "generated effects not meeting expectations".
In addition, in a live broadcast event, founder Tim said that he was considering stopping the Q&A program. "Because I found that most of our public opinions started from the Q&A program. Because it is essentially a way to communicate and have fun with everyone. But if you want everyone to find this program interesting, then you must play it a little bit more. Everyone should understand, but it is easy to be sliced. The Q&A program is our most sliced program, but the slices are out of context and become weird."
Tim said that it was originally only for our audience, but many times it was delivered to people who were not our audience, and only 10% of the information was conveyed, so there was no way to avoid misunderstandings. "I have always felt that the problem of marketing accounts is quite big now, and it seems to be getting bigger and bigger. There is no way to protect rights. If you close one account, another one will come out. We cannot call it rumor making, but it is actually no different from fabrication."
