Chapter 183: Movie Classification [One Update]
Under the dual pressure of public opinion and media opinion, the inclusion of the new "Film Censorship Bill" into the film classification system has become an inevitable trend, and the Hong Kong film industry, which has been silent on this matter, seems calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent. The question now facing all Hong Kong filmmakers is no longer whether to implement a film classification system, but how to establish grading standards.
Many people tend to think the same way as Mecca, the plan formulated within the industry is always more in line with the reality of Hong Kong films than the plan formulated by laymen, and this should be done by the Hong Kong Film Society, whose members, directors, screenwriters, actors and all kinds of behind-the-scenes personnel, have connections in every corner of the Hong Kong film industry, but there is only one type of person missing: the boss of the Hong Kong film company.
The people standing at the top of the pyramid don't speak, and it's useless for the people below to toss around, and the only person who is qualified to gather all the film company bosses together to discuss the film classification plan is Lin Youlun in Hong Kong.
As the actual controller of Jiayi Cinema Line, Hong Kong's large and small film companies have to give Lin Youlun face, and as for the film companies that are close to Xinbao Cinema Line, they can be ignored directly.
Lin Youlun also took the lead, and called the bosses of all Hong Kong film companies together for a meeting, saying that he wanted everyone to discuss it together, but in fact, the meeting had not yet started, and he had already come up with a very complete film classification plan, and this plan was in Shao Yifu's hands at this time.
Lam Youlun divided Hong Kong films into three levels, with Class I being released to people of any age; Class II is subdivided into two tiers, with Class II.A being released for people of any age. However, the relevant promotional materials of the film should indicate that it is "not suitable for children to watch", and Class II.B is released to people of any age, but minors must watch it under the guidance of their guardians; Class III is released to people who are at least eighteen years old.
This plan was sent to Shao Yifu a week ago, and he has been carrying it with him for the past few days, taking it out from time to time to look at it, and then pondering it carefully. Today, I happened to take the same car with Lin Youlun to the venue, on the way. Shao Yifu naturally talked about it.
President Ronald Reagan of the United States has publicly complained that the American film classification system is too complicated, saying that he tried to use the classification system to clarify the classification of entertainment, only to find that it would take another dictionary to understand the system. I find it not so easy for you to figure out this plan. Because it's so detailed. Shao Yifu looked at Lin Youlun quietly, with a taste of pondering and temptation in his eyes.
Lin Youlun shrugged, "Only a little more detailed." The plan can be convincing enough. ”
"Convince the bosses of other studios?"
"Convince the Hong Kong government and the public."
The leisurely look on Shao Yifu's face suddenly disappeared, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Youlun with a deep gaze, "Are you so sure that other film companies will definitely accept this plan?" ”
"I put forward the plan, as long as Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess have no opinions, the attitude of other film companies is not within the scope of my consideration." Lin Youlun pursed his lips, and then said: "Taking a step back, the Hong Kong government is not ready to implement a film classification system, and Jiayi Cinema Line does not need to reach a consensus with all film companies to make such classification regulations, right?" ”
The pair of eyes behind Shaw's lenses. The sensitive and sophisticated expression came back to life a little, staring at me aggressively. Every time his eyes flashed with this light, Lin Youlun felt that they had passed through his flesh and skin, all the way to his heart.
After a long time, Shao Yifu sighed softly: "Lin Sheng has good means!" ”
"I still need a lot of help from Uncle Six."
Lin Youlun's posture was very low. The two looked at each other, and they had vaguely reached a tacit understanding.
