With this document, it means that the film can be released in theaters in the mainland.

Good Dream Company held a press conference to announce that "Infernal Affairs" will be released in the mainland and Hong Kong at the same time on October 1.

This is the first gang-themed film introduced from the mainland, which has attracted much media attention.

In the past, Cheng Long's movies entered mainland theaters, and there were also gang and crime plots, but they were mainly kung fu comedies, which could not be regarded as gang films.

How to define, what the standard is, is there a unified statement.

This is a concern of the media and filmmakers.

Hong Kong filmmakers are confused about the censorship system in the mainland, they either don't want to understand, or they can't find a way, and it's quite normal for them to run into a wall.

In fact, even mainland filmmakers don't dare to say what is inside.

Everyone is speculating, first of all, the Film Censorship Committee, those dozens of members come from all walks of life in society, have different positions, and it is difficult to unify opinions.

Taking "Infernal Affairs" as an example, the members of the public security department felt that a high-ranking police officer was beaten to death by gang members and thrown downstairs, which was really arrogant.

So many undercover gangs in the police station have not been discovered, and the political trial of the police station is too childish and unorganized.

The second is the attitude of the General Administration, and the review committee is responsible for putting forward opinions, which are ultimately checked by the General Administration.

Including the theme of the movie must be positive, no ideological mistakes, negative and vulgar, no bloody violence, no exposed shots, etc.

These have clear provisions, but there is a certain room for flexibility in the scale, which can be discussed with the General Administration.

Finally, there are some uncertainties.

For example, "Titanic", because of the attention of national leaders, it has been almost cut.

Lin Zixuan has been in the circle for so many years, dealing with the General Bureau, and knows these basic rules, and many things can be discussed and fought for.

The reason why the Film Bureau banned the film is nothing more than two reasons.

One is that the film is controversial, and the other is that the film company or director has a bad attitude.

Even if it needs to be revised, there is room for discussion, and there is no fixed standard for art, and it cannot be bound by rules and regulations.

You think that this actress is scantily clad and immoral, and I think this is art, showing the sensitive and rich inner world of the actress.

In addition to correcting the attitude and striving hard, it is also necessary to see whether the leading group of the Film Bureau is open-minded and courageous.

When encountering a conservative leadership team, it is difficult for a film like "Infernal Affairs" to pass.

In Lin Zixuan's view, there are both reform and conservative forces in the current film bureau.

The "Several Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of the Film Industry" issued last year is a clear proof of the reform, and at the same time, there is considerable resistance to the implementation of this document.

The cinema chain alone affects the interests of too many people.

The State Administration also plans to delegate the right to censor film and television dramas to the film bureaus of various provinces and cities, so that in the future, film and television dramas produced in Shanghai will not have to be brought to the capital, and will be directly censored locally.

This is even more difficult to implement, rights are a good thing, and no one wants to let go.

Returning to "Infernal Affairs", the cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong in the film industry is a general trend.

The Film Bureau banned the screening of "Shaolin Football", and if "Infernal Affairs" is banned again, it will send a negative signal and make Xiangjiang filmmakers lose confidence in entering the mainland.

This is not the outcome that the Directorate wants to see.

How to grasp the scale, release different signals, and balance the relationship between all parties is an issue that the CFDA needs to consider, and there are too many factors involved in film censorship in the mainland.

Especially films that are sensitive to the subject matter.

"Infernal Affairs is a film invested by Good Dream Company and co-produced with Heung Kong Film Company, we respect the different censorship systems of the two places, strictly demand ourselves, and everything is for the audience." Faced with reporters' questions about censorship, Yu Dong said in a deep voice, "We believe that the cooperation between filmmakers from the mainland and Hong Kong can achieve a win-win situation." ”

"Mr. Yu, what is your box office expectation for "Infernal Affairs"?" A reporter asked.

"Of course, the more the merrier." Yu Dong said with a smile, "We think this is a movie with quality assurance, star appeal, and high market expectations, and the box office is worth looking forward to." ”

"Mr. Yu, what is the difference between the mainland and Hong Kong versions? The release of "Infernal Affairs" in the mainland shows that Hong Kong's police and gangster films will enter the mainland film market in a big way? Meng Jing asked.

Yu Dong looked at Meng Jing, who had been interviewed by Meng Jing a few days ago.

The female journalist, who has a keen eye for entertainment news, is writing a story about Good Dreams.

"There is not much difference between the two versions, except that a few violent scenes have been deleted, which does not affect the integrity of the plot." Yu Dong responded, "I think not only police films, but also other types of films in Hong Kong can also enter the mainland market, and Good Dream has always been willing to cooperate with Hong Kong filmmakers on the premise of mutual respect and tolerance." ”

For this point, some Xiangjiang filmmakers do not recognize, and Good Dream Company is notoriously difficult to work with.

However, the release of "Infernal Affairs" in the mainland gave them hope and gave them an opportunity to make money.

There are also filmmakers who perceive the energy of Good Dream Company in the mainland film and television industry, and the comparison between "Shaolin Football" and "Infernal Affairs" is very revealing.

They have a consensus in their hearts that the best way to develop in the mainland is to cooperate with Haomeng.

One is professionalism, Haomeng cooperated with Li Yu to shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", co-invested with Western film companies, and the staff has experience in international cooperation.

There is also a lot of energy, which ensures that the release of the movie will not be too much trouble.

got the release permit, and the promotion of "Infernal Affairs" in the mainland was immediately launched, and Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei came to the mainland to meet and communicate with fans.

In addition to publicity, Good Dreams also has to deal with piracy.

There are also pirated copies in Hong Kong, and it is interesting that the film companies in Hong Kong discussed with the pirates that no pirated DVDs should appear in Hong Kong two weeks before the film was released.

For this, the film company paid the pirate a sum of money as compensation, which was a covert deal.

There are forces behind the film companies in Xiangjiang, and relatively speaking, pirates are only small players, and they dare not agree.

If the pirate wants to make money, what should they do, so they will ship the pirated video discs to the mainland and make money from the mainlanders.

Xiangjiang is not a small place, and this operation method is feasible to ensure the box office of Xiangjiang films, so the mainland has become a dumping ground for pirated films.

It is conceivable that once "Infernal Affairs" is released, pirated discs will appear in major cities in the mainland.

Lin Zixuan couldn't control the cinema line in Xiangjiang, so he could only start from the mainland.

"My Sassy Girlfriend" is a relatively successful anti-piracy attempt, this time the company invested 5 million to jointly crack down on piracy in more than a dozen major cities across the country.
