Chapter 91 Graded Emissary
"I love Hong Kong cinema and I don't want it to become a cancer in society step by step. I deeply regret the homicide some time ago. But why this is happening, I want everyone here to reflect on it, including me, of course. My contract with the cinema chain is to prohibit minors from entering, why would the victim enter the cinema? To say a thousand things and ten thousand, it is that the Hong Kong film industry lacks a system, a system that can be implemented strongly. ”
Li Yihua slapped the table angrily, and his eyes swept the bosses coldly. Ignoring the cannibalistic gaze of those bosses, he continued.
"I asked the company's employees to collect the movies that have been released in the past few years, and pornography, violence, horror, etc. account for two-thirds of the films. These data represent that minors suffer from these devastation every day, affecting their immature psychology. In recent years, with the horror escalation of horror films. and people's blind pursuit of excitement are the reasons why some horror movies are becoming more and more popular. At the same time, directors have to rack their brains and use more horror factors to attract attention, so the film classification is already imminent. Movies are mass consumer culture, which can imperceptibly affect the public, a good movie can teach people to improve, and bad movies can also destroy a person's life. Have you ever wondered why the crime rate in Hong Kong remains high, and the juvenile crime rate has steadily increased this year? The answer is obvious, it is those movies that harm others and benefit themselves. ”
Li Yihua did not prepare a draft, and talked eloquently with feelings, which shows that he has been thinking about such things for more than a day or two.
"Many production companies only want the box office in front of them, shoddy production, and follow the trend of whatever theme is popular, and art is expensive in creation, not imitation. Blindly following the herd shows not only a lack of self-confidence on the part of creators, but also a lack of creativity. We can ignore all of this, but the film classification system, I think, should be resolutely enforced. This is not only for the protection of minors, but also for the development of Hong Kong films. If it is not controlled, in the long run, have you ever thought about it, when the audience loses interest in watching the movie, the disaster is very serious"
"Papapa" Uncle Shao was the first to applaud, but he didn't expect Li Yihua to be so direct.
Then Mecca and Zou Wenhuai also applauded, and those movie bosses who couldn't get along with him also applauded with the public.
"Ah Hua, what you said is so good, I didn't expect you to think so far." Uncle Shao praised that Li Yihua's performance today was beyond his expectations.
"Sixth uncle, you are polite, you are Taishan Beidou in the circle, and you have an axe in front of you!" In front of Uncle Shao Liu, Li Yihua didn't dare to hold it up at all.
"So if you say that the movie will lose money when it is made, then who will still invest in this way, and how will the company develop?" The attractive boss looked at Li Yihua, who was in the limelight, and said very unconvinced.
"The box office of a movie is directly proportional to its quality, and making a good movie makes no less money than a bad movie. The two films made by our company are both small-cost investments, but we strictly pay attention to quality, and the box office of the movies is not the same. Another example is Fengyue films, in order to pass the electrical inspection, everyone is just cautious to play the side ball, and they don't dare to shoot too explicitly, the audience is actually very unpleasant, but after the implementation of the film classification system, the shooting scale can be relaxed, so that more audiences can be attracted to enter the venue, and the box office will not only not decrease, but also increase. Li Yihua patiently explained.
Uncle Shao Liu clapped his hands, took out a document, and said indifferently, "This is a document sent by the Hong Kong political axe yesterday, let's pass it on and take a look." ”
"The proposal for the Film Censorship Bill! According to recent public opinion, the Film Management Office has decided to implement a film classification system, with the goal of not only protecting children and young people, but also giving adults the opportunity to watch more films that depict the reality of the world...... Now it is up to the Hong Kong filmmakers to formulate the relevant rules, and then the political axe will review them, and jointly maintain the implementation of the Hong Kong film industry."
After about half an hour, the boss of the film company realized that the new "Draft Film Censorship Bill" has become the general trend to include the film classification system, and now the question facing all Hong Kong filmmakers is no longer whether to implement a film classification system, but how to establish the classification standard.
"That's why I'm bringing everyone together, just to figure out how to come up with a film rating system? The plans formulated within the industry are always more in line with the reality of Hong Kong films than those formulated by laymen. Although he was already an old man, Uncle Shao's voice was still loud, which woke up the pensive crowd.
Zou Wenhuai took over the topic and said with a smile: "Hollywood films already have a mature film classification system, we can learn from it, introduce some good systems, and plan the existing Hong Kong system." ”
"Scale is very important, and if it is not properly restricted, the impact will be very large, and then the gains will outweigh the losses. Therefore, we should discuss and formulate the most appropriate system. Mecca was not left behind, and quickly put forward his own opinion.
After the three bosses spoke, most of the film companies began to discuss it on the basis of their own interests. Everyone else is worried about the adverse effects of the film classification system, Li Yihua returned to his seat and leisurely drank tea, his goal was film classification, and now that the goal has been achieved, no matter what the outcome of the discussion is, it must be better than the current disorderly and chaotic scene
Hong Kong filmmakers have taken the lead in implementing film classification regardless of their own interests, and let us express our high respect for them. -------Ta Kung Pao
I believe that the film classification system is imperative and beneficial to both creators and audiences. Some time ago, I wanted to call for the classification of Hong Kong films, film classification is highly responsible for both the creator and the audience, and after the film is classified, the audience who is not suitable for a certain movie can be protected. -------- "Sing Tao Newspaper"
What level is suitable for what age audience, but it takes a process of adaptation. I hope everyone is not blindly optimistic, the film classification needs to be implemented, not the form. -------------- Ming Pao
Some media published Li Yihua's speech on the whole page the next day, which was praised by all filmmakers with conscience, and the title of "grading messenger" was also named on Li Yihua's head.
Li Yihua never imagined that his speech would cause such a big reaction, and he was also called the "grading messenger". Li Yihua never imagined that he would prompt the classification system of Hong Kong films to be drafted four years in advance, which he never dared to imagine before. It seems that he has changed history again, with the film classification system, he believes that Hong Kong films can enter health earlier.
