The forum on "Opportunities and Challenges: A Dialogue on Chinese Film Policy" continued, but the people at the scene were already messy, and of course there were some people who were very relaxed and happy, such as Director Wang.

At the beginning, the director of the Department of Policies and Regulations, he was criticized by the two literary and art directors, and the two who were engaged in policy research also listed all kinds of bad policies, which made him a little discouraged, as if he was accusing them of not doing personnel in the Department of Policies and Regulations all these years, and they had not done anything practical.

In fact, this is not the case, they study and compare the excellent systems of various countries around the world over and over again every day, but they are very helpless to find that if they want to copy foreign systems, then they directly deny domestic laws, and some of them even deny the provisions of the Supreme Court.

So how can such a policy be formulated? So a lot of things are saying that what is foreign may not be applicable to China, which is completely different.

"Some people will still not accept what I just said, they will think that foreign countries are open, and they allow criticism. I still say the same thing, if you have the ability to go to the United States to criticize capitalism, if you have the ability to criticize their judges for life, if you have the ability to criticize the Jews, if you have the ability to criticize homosexuality in the United States, if you have the ability to criticize marijuana, if you have the ability, if you have the ability, you can go to the United Kingdom to criticize the monarchy......

There are many things that cannot be criticized in the United States, why do you not think that this is a restriction or backwardness in the United States, and when it comes to China, there are some things that cannot be criticized blindly, and you think that this is a restriction and backwardness?

Why do you have two sets of standards for the same thing, the same law, in your mind? What kind of psychology is the psychology of the United States and the West that is right, and China's backwardness? ”

In the face of He Fang's questioning, the audience was speechless for the time being, but He Fang did not continue to criticize, because it was meaningless to say too much.

"Before I came, I thought that this film policy dialogue was helping the General Administration to implement some detailed rules, but when I got here, I realized that it was a comprehensive critique of China's film policy, which made me feel very incomprehensible.

In my opinion, whether it is the market size of Chinese films, or the industrial infrastructure, technical capabilities, scientific and technological level, and modern management of domestic films, everything has been qualitatively improved.

From the billions of annual box office market growth in 09 to more than 50 billion in the annual box office market in 14 years, this does not depend on the growth of good film policies? In the past, we went to the cinema to watch movies, what was the seat of the cinema and the viewing environment? And now? Does this depend on the development of the market and the benefits of policies?

In the past, when we made a movie, even a camera was the second and third generation machines eliminated by Europe and the United States, but now the equipment and special effects companies we use are on par with Hollywood, is this not because of the development of the market and policy changes?

In the past, our industry chaos such as theater management, box office false reports, fake publicity and distribution, and artists without talent and morality has now been improved, isn't this a change in policy? Isn't this what modern management is?

So, no matter what dimension we look at, we're all making progress and changing. However, in the midst of this progress and change, literary and artistic films can't share the cake, and then they jump out to say that the policy system has developed them.

I just want to say, if you don't keep pace with the times and don't improve your creativity and technology when making literary films, why do you blame the constantly improving market and policies? You are lagging behind, and you still have the opinion that the pace of the industry is moving forward too fast? ”

He Fang's series of rhetorical questions directly said that other people didn't know how to answer, but Director W, who had just been dizzy, also clarified his thoughts and immediately asked questions.

"The development of films in recent years is only for the development of commercial films, what we mean is that the policy should not only focus on commercial films, but forget about literary films. Commercial films and literary films are like two legs of human beings, and the practice of only developing one leg and discarding the other leg is not conducive to the development of the overall film. ”

"What is that system for the development of literary films? Is it a blaming moderation policy? When commercial films were developing, what was the big difference between the current censorship policy? No. Commercial films do not complain about policies, but practice internal skills, tell the story of the movie well, and do a good job in quality, and the same can make a good movie. "Who refutes.

"No, Director He, don't change your concept. Commercial films rely on commercial elements to make money, while literary films rely on criticism, and the policy is not allowed to criticize, so how can literary films develop? This is like not allowing commercial films to use special effects and stars, so how can commercial films develop? Director W retorted.

"You mean that you eat by criticism, and if the policy restricts you from criticizing, you will not be able to survive? Then I would like to ask if my "Single Zoo" has been criticized? Have you criticized my "Scorching Sun"? Why did my film not only win awards but also pass domestic censorship?

Obviously, you can both do what you say and pass the censorship, but instead of thinking about making some movies that can both pass the censorship and criticism, you always think about using the policy liberalization to make some extreme movies. Over the years, how many of the three major film festivals have won awards for criticizing European regimes?

They themselves don't allow these kinds of films to win awards, so they just let you criticize. Do you really think that they are hundreds or thousands of times more perfect than us? The backward monarchy still exists in Europe, but they shout to the whole world every day that everyone is equal and has universal values, why don't they criticize their unequal aristocracy and monarchy? Why do they still have a royal family, and a knighthood?

Everyone can understand that the criticism they advocate is to let countries other than the United States and the West criticize themselves for being bad, and then they come to praise themselves as beautiful, and then you are still playing this one by one. ”

He Fang glanced at everyone contemptuously, meaning that you are all brainless people, and you still claim to be sober and elite.

"Director He, since you say so, then you tell me how to shoot literary films to criticize us?" Director A asked indignantly.

"Is it hard? Didn't I say it just now, why don't you criticize the so-called false Western universal values? Why not criticize the monarchies of the West? Why not criticize the legal gangster system in the West, as well as their pornography legal system?

How many young men and girls have been shot and killed by gangsters and abducted into brothels in the United States and the West over the years? Another example is to criticize the capitalist system, how do capitalists stink of wine and meat? It can also be criticized for being just a foreigner or an immigrant in the West, a second- or third-class citizen in a foreign country, and treating his compatriots with a condescending face as soon as he returns to China......

If you want to criticize, there are so many materials for criticism, why don't you criticize it? But you have to bite the system and criticize it vigorously? If you don't criticize the system, you're not criticizing, right?

It's like you have rice, corn, and wheat in front of you, and you only know how to eat wheat, and you'd rather starve to death than eat a bite of rice and corn? I have said so much here to make just one point.

That is, you are complaining that the system restricts your criticism, and in fact, in the United States and the West, which you think are the most advanced, there are also systems that limit their criticism. This shows that there are restrictions not only in China, but in every country.

The other is that if you want to criticize, you can, it's not impossible, but don't hold on to a system to criticize, there are a lot of materials to criticize in addition to the system, but I haven't seen you criticize. ”

After He Fang finished speaking, the host didn't know how to answer, and at this time, Director Wang slowly picked up the microphone.

"I'll say two words." Director Wang's opening made everyone look at him.

"I agree with what Director W said just now, that is, the two legs of the film must be taken care of, literature and commerce. However, I agree more with Director He's words, it's not that he doesn't take care of literary films, but that we can't do a lot of what you ask for.

Every year, our Department of Policies and Regulations studies the laws and regulations of developed countries around the world and countries with excellent film and television development, and there are no less than 100 seminars every year, all of which are discussing how to reform and how to make policies that are conducive to the future development of our films.

As Director He Fang said, some laws and regulations cannot be copied, because our system is different and cannot be copied. For example, if you insist on moving something from a duck to a chicken, isn't that nondescript.

We can also understand the anxiety, anxiety, and even dissatisfaction of some literary film directors, but we can't change the system just because we want to solve your dissatisfaction, right? Now that we've talked about it today, I'm going to tell you a few words of sincerity.

As he said, if gangster movies were allowed in our films, people from the police department would definitely come to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to question us. How dissatisfied are we with their police department, and how low is their work to promote their inaction in society and around the world?

The point is that there is some factual basis, but many stories are fictional, which is the act of maliciously smearing the police. You tell me that if you are making a movie seriously, and you have won countless box office awards, but the people of the whole country are constantly criticizing you and insulting you, what do you think about it?

You criticize for your own honor and medals, but what about others? Are the people in the police system coming to arrest you without any care? Surely not, right? Therefore, everyone has to follow the rules in doing things.

Like Director He Fang's previous filming of "Operation Mekong", he also had to talk about the rules and apply to the police department if he could shoot it, and the police department allowed him to shoot it. Why apply?

Because China, China's crime rate is 15.24 per 100,000 people, compared to 379.4 per 100,000 people in the United States, and the crime rate in China is only 4% of that in the United States. However, if we report this crime news every day and make this kind of crime movie, then what we will see on the news and movie screen every year is an overwhelming crime, and it will make people feel that China's law and order are very poor.

But what about the facts? In fact, the United States is 250 times worse than we are, so why doesn't the world feel that the United States is dangerous? It's their propaganda media such as news and movies that control the number of reports so that people don't see those cases.

That's why we don't allow you to shoot those criminal things every day, it's not that you can't shoot it, you can shoot it, but you have to control a certain amount, and you have to catch typical shots. ”

Director Wang is also bitter, and it is not easy for him, because everyone does not understand their intentions, and only knows that scolding them is politically correct, so what prestige do they have to speak of?

Many people in the audience who didn't understand before heard Director Wang say this, and finally understood why the policy system is like this, it is indeed not that the people above do not act as everyone thinks, but that ordinary people do not understand many things.

Why are ordinary people so easily incited? That's because they don't understand the actual situation at all, and then they are provoked and say, 'Someone doesn't do something', and then ordinary people follow and scold.
