"I think the most effective way to solve this problem is to change it at the institutional level," Thomas has an in-depth study of the Hong Kong film market, and he believes that the primary factor restricting the development of Hong Kong films is the market, followed by the film censorship system.

In Thomas's view, Hong Kong's film censorship ordinance, which was enacted in 1953, was carried out without a legal basis, and the film censorship led by successive directors of information was in fact only an implementation of an "executive order".

"Mr. Thomas means a film classification system?" Lin Youlun's eyebrows were tightly locked, his lips were tightly closed, and his heart was seriously considering Thomas's proposal.

Thomas is a big advocate of the film classification system, "It is unreasonable to let adults and children watch the same things, the classification system is not only a respect for the freedom of choice of adult audiences, but also a guarantee of the creative freedom of creators, and it is also a gospel for the film industry." ”

There are not many differences between Lam and Thomas, and he is hesitant about how to promote the early birth of Hong Kong's film classification system.

The film classification system in any country did not exist from the beginning, but was driven by some opportunity, in the United States, because of Elizabeth? Taylor's foul language in the film "Desire" caused social unrest, which prompted the birth of the American film classification system, and if you want to implement the film classification system in Hong Kong, you also need an opportunity. Lin Lingdong's "Dragon and Tiger" was deleted by the "Electric Inspection Department" is just an example, and it obviously cannot attract the attention of the entire industry, especially the competition between various film companies, and it is necessary to promote this matter from within the industry. It's difficult.

"The Hong Kong filmmakers I have spoken with have not realized that Hong Kong's electrical inspection system is illegal, in your Chinese words, it is only separated by a layer of window paper, but no one has ever thought of piercing it!" From the perspective of a bystander, Thomas believes that it is not difficult to solve the problem, and only needs to find an influential newspaper to poke the matter out. Any system that lacks a legal basis will inevitably be violently attacked by the society and people in the legal circles, as long as a certain public opinion climate is formed. Furthermore, the implementation of the film classification system can gain the support of the society and the public.

Lin Youlun showed deep wrinkles on his forehead, thinking deeply about who should pierce this layer of window paper.

This matter certainly cannot be brought up by him first. Otherwise, others will suspect that he has ulterior motives, and if he wants to speak, he can only wait until the media and public opinion are almost discussed. Then stand up and make the final word.

Thomas lifted his glasses and smiled, "I know the editor-in-chief of the Asian Wall Street Journal. ”

Lin Youlun's eyes lit up, and it was a wonderful idea for an English-language newspaper to attack the film censorship system first!

Zou Wenhuai stood by the window, silently raised his gaze, frowned slightly, and stared at the sunset at the back of the western sky.

He Guanchang pushed the door and walked in, Zou Wenhuai turned around, and his deep gaze stayed on He Guanchang for a moment. Then he handed the newspaper in his hand to He Guanchang. Seeing that this was an English newspaper, He Guanchang was even more puzzled in his heart, and glanced at Zou Wenhuai, as if he wanted to see the answer from his face.

"The newspaper was published yesterday, and I only saw it today. There is a very interesting article above. ”

Zou Wenhuai's tone of voice was very relaxed, but He Guanchang saw a solemnity in his eyes, he spread out the newspaper, quickly read the article that Zou Wenhuai said, and then raised his head in surprise.

"Is this true?"

"I asked somebody, according to the laws of Hong Kong. There is indeed a big problem with the film censorship system. Zou Wenhuai nodded.

He Guanchang's eyes widened, staring at the newspaper in his hand, and said to himself: "The system that has been implemented for more than 30 years is actually illegal...... he stood there and muttered silently. …,
