Chapter 874: Who hired Vin Diesel to kill
How to deal with the strong invasion of Hollywood films is a serious issue for most countries and regions in the world to consider when developing local films, and the most common method is the quota system, that is, legislation to force theaters to screen no less than the specified number of days of local films every year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The quota system is to restrict Hollywood films in the field of market circulation and open up living space for local films, and in the field of production, many countries also have support and subsidy policies specifically for local film shooting.
Specific to different countries, the details of the quota or subsidy policies vary, but most of them have built a mechanism that can operate effectively through legislation and is basically accepted by domestic filmmakers, domestic audiences and Hollywood.
Britain began to implement the film quota system as early as 1927, and the film quota system is most famous in South Korea, South Korea's film quota system is also known as the compulsory screening system of domestic films, since 1996, the South Korean government has legislated that every theater in the country must show Korean films for more than 146 days per year.
In France, in addition to the strict quota system, the government has also formulated a lot of policies to support local film shooting, and local films can enjoy corresponding subsidies from the beginning of script creation, to filming and distribution, and the funding mainly comes from the theater's income. There is also a part of it from the state-specific award fund.
In addition, France will also impose a special tax on the box office of Hollywood films to cultivate local French film talents and support local film creation.
To a certain extent, just like insisting that movies are not classified, Domestic Protection Month can be described as simple and crude. It can be called a time-saving and labor-saving method of large scissors.
And the most critical point is that whether it is the quota system for the screening side or the support and subsidy for the production side, these specific policies for the protection of local films are clearly stipulated through legislation in most countries.
As for the big scissors, it directly and publicly declared that it has never set up a domestic protection month......
Some of the treatment that "The Dark Knight Rises" received in the Chinese market, Duke can't do anything about it, and compared to the Chinese market. Now that the chaos of North America has taken him too much energy, he simply has no time to pay too much attention to the situation overseas.
After the clock ticked to Monday, "The Dark Knight Rises" ushered in its first working day, and the box office on that day plummeted by more than 50% from Sunday, to $22.14 million.
After this period of fermentation, the impact of the shooting on "The Dark Knight Rises" has become more and more obvious.
"If the current situation continues."
Sitting in the living room of the Eye-Shaped Villa, Pani? Kelis, a public relations expert, frowned, "The North American box office trend of "The Dark Knight Rises" is not optimistic. ”
"So. We need to find a way to divert the attention of the media and the public. Duke rubbed his forehead with a headache, "If there is a sensational incident at this time." The pressure on us and The Dark Knight Rises will be a lot less. ”
Pani? Kelis looked through the window to the gate of the manor, "Didn't Tina go to see Lipez?" ”。
Duke nodded slightly, "Hopefully Tina will bring some good news." ”
Like all super-rich, Duke has a good relationship with Los Angeles authorities, especially the Los Angeles County Police Department. Tina? Faye went to downtown Los Angeles early this morning to meet with County Police Chief Lee Pace, it is said that James? There have been some unexpected developments in Holmes' case, and Riskes will be the first to share some relevant information with Duke before the next briefing.
That way, Duke and Warner Bros. will have more time to prepare.
Wait until about noon. Tina? Faye hurried back to Malibu and before he could sit down in the reception room, he said, "During the police interrogation, James? Holmes claimed that last year Van ? Diesel's car accident was not an accident, but a well-planned murder, and he was the one who carried it out directly! ”
"What?" Pani? Kelis couldn't seem to believe the news, "Fan? Diesel died in murder? ”
Compared to Pani? Kelis, Duke appeared calmer, and Lipes since to Tina? When Fei revealed this news, she must have a great deal of confidence.
He nodded slightly, signaling that he understood, then stood up and walked to the window, looking out, his brain spinning.
James? Why did Holmes do Van? Diesel to do it?
There is clearly something wrong with this man's thinking, as evidenced by his imitation of the Joker, and it is not surprising to speculate.
The question is, James? Holmes is after the sensational effect of the Joker, to kill Van ? The reason why Diesel has been quiet until now is obviously inconsistent with his behavior at Santa Monica Mall.
Duke told Tina about the idea? Faye and Pani? Kelis.
Pani? Kelis was seventy years old and had been through a lot more, but after thinking about it, he said, "Then there's another possibility, James?" Holmes was a doer, not a planner. ”
Tina? Fei added, "It's also possible that it's a hire, and if it's a hire, that would explain James? Holmes, an unemployed person, why did he have a large amount of money to buy weapons and ammunition. ”
Sitting back on his couch, Duke tapped the armrest of the couch gently.
"If so, who is the hirer?"
Tina? Fei's words made the three people in the reception room fall into thought.
After a full five minutes, Duke slowly spoke, "Whoever benefits the most is the one who has the greatest chances." ”
Tina? Faye and Pani? Kelis glanced at each other and couldn't help but think of a name, but is it really possible?
This is just speculation, Duke will not be silent on this side, he thought for a while and said, "Inform Warner's people of the progress of the case, let Warner's media prepare, and wait for the police to officially announce the news, it is best to let Fan?" Diesel's death in murder dilutes the current public opinion pressure on The Dark Knight Rises. ”
Tina? Fei nodded slightly.
Duke then advised, "You keep in touch with Lipez, and you can use all the resources at our disposal to put pressure on the Los Angeles police to make them against James? Holmes' investigation continues. ”
The laws of this country are indeed perfect, and there is also the so-called independence of the judiciary, but it is far enough from the earth to the zenith star that it is fair and open, and the Los Angeles County Police Department will be affected too much.
Or even Fan? It is not impossible that Diesel's murder will end up in the end.
Today, the focus of the national media is still on the Santa Monica Mall shooting, but compared with the previous few days, there are also reflective voices in the media, and these voices are relatively fair, and what they say is not unreasonable in Duke's view.
The sound of gunfire under the screen once again echoes in the theaters of America, and there is no superman to turn the tide, and no superhero falls from the sky.
Yes, just scattered popcorn, panicked crowds and blaring sirens.
This is not the first time that people have committed crimes because of movies or imitations of films: groups committed crimes in imitation of "Italian Mission", and the young American John ? Hinckley for Judy? Foster's assassination of Reagan, "Born to Kill Maniac" brings the cult of imitators......
Today, the tragedy is no longer simply murder, assault and explosion, but to challenge the social order by creating public chaos, and this ideological anti-civilization and anarchic tendency is about to emerge.
With Hollywood's spectacle of violence becoming an escalating norm of escalating on-screen violence, are all the elements involved in the narrative – medium, communication, audience, epistemology – to blame?
In today's mass communication, violence is often entertained, rampant, and aestheticized, and although there is still not enough evidence to prove that violent scenes in movies or television are linked to violent tendencies, it is certain that a person is ready to commit crimes, and when watching these films, they may be influenced by the movies to push criminal emotions to a critical point, leading to the commission of atrocities.
In this regard, many people in Hollywood have also stood up and expressed their opinions.
Harvey? Weinstein seriously advocated that Hollywood filmmakers should sit down and examine the impact of violence on people in Hollywood films and the role filmmakers play in them.
And the media led by the New York Post supported this view that Hollywood should pay for the fact that our films are now surrounded by gore and violence.
Time magazine, on the other hand, stood up for Batman, arguing that the innocent film was just a baptism of coincidence tragedy - don't blame Batman, criminals always grab something at random to justify their twisted behavior.
And the relevant psychiatrist also said, "The statement that a young person who watches a violent movie and kills people when he thinks it is cool is not valid, and the motive for committing the crime is insufficient." Something must have happened in his life that prompted him to sin, but we don't know yet. ”
Should movies be held accountable for violent crimes? Is cinema really to be blamed as such? Even Harvey, who called for a reduction in visual violence? Weinstein is confused, knowing that the aesthetics of violence are often inextricably linked to creation, style and brilliance: "I've overseen a lot of violent films, and sometimes I suddenly think, 'I can't do this anymore, please cut these scenes.'" But you know, you have to respect the director's creation, and that's a difficult question. ”
This difficult question, this unbalanced situation, like all the paradoxes in the world, is difficult to come to a conclusion.
As a result, a debate about the guilt of film violence erupted across the United States. (To be continued.) )
