Ensure that epidemic support funds are allocated in the first half of the year to help enterprises resume business and stabilize employment. help cinemas make good use of the existing combined policies and effectively enjoy preferential policies such as taxes, social security, special subsidies, and so on. Increase efforts to coordinate the national and cinema management levels, and increase the supply of films. After the end of the epidemic, a rich source of films should be provided as soon as possible to restore the film screening market. With regard to film publicity and distribution enterprises, considering that many distribution enterprises in Shanghai are the leading enterprises of film distribution in the country, and the suspension of the distribution of many films during the Spring Festival this year has led to great losses in early investment, the special funds for Shanghai film development will be included in the publicity subsidies. Shanghai distribution enterprises, which are greatly affected by the epidemic, will be given one-off subsidies and support after comprehensive evaluation.
