The debate has spread from within the industry to the media, and from the media to the whole society. There has been a long-lost craze about movies in society.

And at this moment, China Film announced as a matter of course:

"The ban was lifted, and the release of imported films resumed.

"Star Wars Episodes: The Phantom Menace" is set for November 20. The film is directed by George Lucas, starring Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, etc., and is a member of the famous Hollywood film series "Star Wars......

"Sky Trap" is scheduled for December 15, and the crime action blockbuster Balabala starring Sean Connery and Katherine Zeta-Jones ......"

Another heat wave among the masses.

"I've been waiting for Star Wars, but I didn't introduce it for a long time, so I had to buy pirated discs to watch it. Now that it's released again, I'm not interested in watching it. ”

"Why was the ban suddenly lifted?"

"What? Is the introduction of films banned?"

"If the negotiation is successful, the ban will naturally have to be lifted. No way, obey the overall situation. ”

............

Early this morning.

Xu Fei ate, stood at the door and prepared to go downstairs, and Zhang Li tied a scarf for him.

"Why are you so excited?"

"Am I excited?"

"I don't see it yet, and when you go to spray people, you're always happy. ”

Well?

He rubbed his nose, am I so perverted?

Teacher Xu kissed goodbye and turned around to leave, when a voice came from the back room: "Oops, I'm cramping!"

The two ran in in a hurry, Xiao Xu lay on his side on the bed, depressed and painful, one leg wanted to curl up but didn't dare to curl up, wanted to stretch but didn't dare to stretch......

"Why do you have cramps again? quite often. ”

"Lack of calcium, why don't you go to see a doctor?"

"Well, I'll go with you today. ”

The two of them skillfully handled it, and returned to the door, and Teacher Xu kissed goodbye again: "Don't work hard, be careful with your stomach." ”

"Got it!"

Zhang Li also has it, but it is more than four months away.

Xiao Xu's stomach is already obvious, and he is reluctant to go to work at home, so he instructs by phone. After a while, my parents came over and moved to that small building in a single courtyard.

Film Bureau, Conference Room.

Today is a seminar organized by the Film Bureau, which is relatively large-scale, and there are production units, provincial companies, critics, and reporters. "New Film and Television" is also among them.

Before it started, the representatives of the two studios talked in a whisper: "What else is there to drive? ”

"That's it, we're going to change it now, and if we don't let it change, we're going to die. ”

"No way, it's not like some people, huh! look at their virtue!"

One person went to the side of Nunuzui, where there were several representatives of the provincial company, who didn't care at all, and didn't look worried.

"People are making money, and there is a place to protect them, which is much better than us!"

The two muttered hatefully, "It's best to be a hundred and die together!"

As he was talking, someone suddenly greeted: "Mr. Xu!"

The voice landed, and half of them stood up, "Mr. Xu!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, please take a seat. ”

Xu Fei arched his hand, and immediately the stars and moons arched, and some people rolled their eyes, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

After a while, Tong Gang showed up and presided over the meeting.

"We're all here, let's get started. I won't talk about the opening remarks, the debate has been boiling over the past few days, and the content of today's meeting will be reported, and everyone has a number in their hearts. ”

After he finished speaking, he leaned back, and he was also in the right place, because in the face of such a great change as joining the WTO, the vast majority of people had no experience.

“......”

After a short silence, an old gentleman who looked to be 70 years old took the lead in speaking: "Let me say a few words, I have been engaged in the compilation of foreign film information for a long time, and I still know some about Hollywood." ”

This is Shao Mujun, born in 28 years, who studies film theory and translation.

"We don't have a shortage of movies as mouthpieces, but we only have a handful of films that are commodities that can make profits for investors.

In the 80s, the total annual income of theaters across the country was 2.2 billion to 2.6 billion, and the average ticket price at that time was 3 cents. How much is the ticket price this year? It's already 15 or 25 yuan in Beijing, right?

But the national box office revenue is declining year by year, and this year should be the bottom, maybe only 800 million.

So what's going on in Hollywood?

Disney, for example, had 22 films last year, grossed $662 million and earned $1.9 billion. and the Yongle Company in the magic capital, with a box office of 180 million.

Disney and Yongle are both big factories in the two countries, but the gap is so huge.

In such an environment, WTO accession and opening up will undoubtedly bring about a devastating blow. We don't even have a unified understanding of movies now, how can we compete with others?

What exactly is Chinese cinema?

The audience thinks it's leisure, the government thinks it's a propaganda tool, and the creators think it's art. Three cars and three strands, how can you go together?"

The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and he slapped the table and said: "I think the most serious problem facing Chinese films is that ordinary people forget to watch movies.

Once this leisure habit is gone, Chinese cinema is dead!"

Yo!

Xu Fei sounds interesting, this is true at all times, once the audience loses the habit, the movie will die.

"Cinema is the cultural fortress of a country, and in a high-tech era, what an indescribable feeling it is to not have a film of your own country.

I believe we can get up, we Chinese love to watch movies. So my point of view is that Chinese cinema will die first and then come back to life. But how long to die, it's hard for me to say.

In the previous film reform, it was good to break the local monopoly, but it turned out to be a main theme project. The state paid → to watch the distribution at all levels →→ order to watch the award after the filming was completed, and it suddenly regressed, and it became a distribution promoted by administrative power. ”

The old man is old, and he dares to say anything: "As a result, the local forces are still strong, except for a few production units, most of them still follow tradition."

I think the current stubborn disease is still being distributed at all levels, and it must be broken!"

was accused in person, and the provincial company quit.

"Teacher Shao, I think you are too extreme. There are many problems in Chinese films, and they are all kinds of problems, not only us? It seems that we are some heinous sinners who hinder development. ”

"Yes, we support reform, and we don't say we won't reform. It's just that the 500,000 army is hurting the muscles and bones, you have to be slow or slow, don't keep staring at us and talking about things. ”

"Humph!"

The studio couldn't help but be furious, and said coldly: "When it comes to reform in 92, everyone is in the same boat, and we also say that we should slow down." Now that years have passed, what are you still pretending to be stupid here?

The situation is in front of us, change or die, we follow the arrangement!"

"Yo, you're not right. Production and distribution are two systems, not the same. I applaud you for daring to be the first in the world, but we'd better slow down. ”

"No matter how slow Hollywood is, you will be happy when domestic movies are destroyed?"

"The distribution system can't take on the responsibility of production! Throw yourself away? You can't make movies that the audience loves to watch, so what do we care?"

"It's just that you can't pull out the?"

The situation is more complicated than in 92, like a person who is about to die is forcibly renewed, and he can't die, and he can't live, so he hangs like this.

Whose responsibility is it? No one dares to hold them accountable.

"Don't quarrel, we're studying the problem today. ”

Tong Gang maintained order, looking at the frosted eggplants in the room, inexplicably irritable and gave birth to a sense of powerlessness.

"Xiao Xu, you can talk about it. ”
