In fact, the focus of film censorship is not to avoid the censorship minefield according to the six dragon standards

The "pushing" and "delaying" of films have long been common things, but public statements always cause some speculation because of their concise and concise possible meaning of "words are endless", which is often clear and reasonable, so that it becomes more and more bizarre later. As the "eternal opposite", the censors are always treated separately

Original title: film censorship failed? Six standards teach you how to accurately avoid policy minefields

From shooting to distribution, a film is always closely connected with a word - film censorship

The film "Fang Hua", which was withdrawn on November 11, announced that it would be re filed on December 15. Since Feng Xiaogang's film "I'm not Pan Jinlian" was pushed from the National Day file last year to be released on November 18, many films in this year's National Day file have been withdrawn, which undoubtedly provoked the sensitive nerve of "censorship"

"Pushing files" and "delaying" have long been common. But public speeches always cause some speculation because of their concise and concise possible meaning of "words are endless", which is often so clear that it becomes more and more bizarre later. As the "eternal opposite", the censors are always treated separately

With the development of film, the shackles of film censorship have gradually exceeded its original intention to protect people's thoughts. So which scenes can't pass the censorship? How do directors and producers grasp this standard when shooting? The author then combs the six standards of film censorship one by one

< Strong>1. Theme: do not deviate from national conditions < /p > Standard: the theme of a film should promote the correct value orientation and should not be too far away from the national conditions. Even the positive and negative elements inevitably involved in commercial films must not have the theme that evil can prevail over right

Example: Zhao Baohua, a member of the film review committee, named films such as "breathless", "driverless", "no man's land" as violating this principle

director Er Dongsheng's" eavesdropping on the wind and cloud "originally wanted to tell the story of several policemen eavesdropping on the corruption of financial intelligence, but none of the mainland investors dared to vote. Later, the Independent Commission against corruption was added to the script, which successfully turned the theme into anti-corruption. As a result, the film was successfully screened.

< strong > 2. Bloody: no close-up

standard: what kind of bloody scenes are within the scope of the scale? The film Bureau will also have difficulties in the review, but there will be some vague standards, such as it is best to take panoramic shots without bloody close-up shots.

example: Feng Chao's" desperate island "has many mechanisms, such as the highly rotating fans on the ground and the actors hanging in the air, but the film itself does not positively show the mutilation of limbs, a large amount of plasma and other images.

director: Gao Qunshu set up many torture and bloody scenes in the sound of the wind, but he avoided the risk through the plot setting," this is to show the will of heroes ". Many Hong Kong or Hollywood B-rated films suffered in China because they did not improve the spirit of the scene, but only did technical or visual display.

< strong > 3. Ghost play: only ghosts in your heart < /p >

standard: in fact, no ghost has become the consensus of all mainland horror films, but" ghost "is an excellent tool to create a terrorist atmosphere. Therefore, all horror film directors have mastered a routine - only ghosts in their hearts.

example: painted skin is a traditional ghost story in Liaozhai, but when it was finally brought to the big screen, the ghost became a fox demon. All films that claim to have ghosts, such as capital 81, actually ended up with the spiritual problems of the protagonist, and the ghost is just a phantom.

director: Luo Zhiliang, the director of" barren Village apartment ", said that there are no real ghosts in his films. He just believes that lonely people are the most terrifying in their hearts. It is the most terrifying to hear something at home alone, but it is not terrifying when you really see it.

< strong > 4. Police involved: the details of the crime must be blurred < /p >

standards: China's police related works need to obtain the approval of the Ministry of public security before being examined by the film Bureau before they can be filmed and shown. The examination of police related plays will be detailed to which region and time period the case occurred, and even whether the means of handling the case comply with domestic conditions.

example: Zhao Ningyu, member of the China Film Theory Working Committee, once revealed," a film is ready to be approved, and as a result, several people from the region involved in the subject matter have come to Beijing, and ×× The Committee protested that such shooting is an insult to us. "

Director: Gao Qunshu's "strong west wind" tells the story of four detectives who go deep into no man's land to arrest fugitive criminals. We should not expose too many means of committing crimes, not show the killing process in detail, and try to show bright things. These are all points that we should pay attention to

< strong > 5. Eroticism: only take facial expressions < /p >

standard: it is basic for a family to watch a movie without revealing three points, which is something that domestic directors all know. In addition, don't shoot the passion drama as an action drama, show the process less, or present the results in a hazy way.

example: in Er Dongsheng's" disciples ", erotic scenes are shot with two fixed seats, only taking close-up pictures of the faces of actors and actresses. The erotic scenes in the controversial" lust, caution "were also cut completely when they were released in the mainland.

director: Luo Zhiliang believes that the erotic scenes in the film are not exposed for the sake of exposure. I agree with Feng Xiaogang's explanation of Shu Qi's hot spring washing scene in if you are the one, which is a body symbol that washes away the sins of the past in an atonement way.

6. Explosion: it can't explode anywhere

standard: in action films, explosion scenes have always been one of the selling points. However, Chinese films can never be as bloody and hearty as Hollywood films. In addition to investment restrictions, domestic films do not blow up wherever they want.

example: when" spy 3 "was introduced to the mainland, the car chasing scenes on Nanjing Road in Shanghai were deleted, and the scenes of fighting in Shanghai in" Transformers 2 "were also cut off. After the introduction, all the scenes involving the Oriental Pearl TV Tower were cut off.

director: Chen Musheng, director of" city alert ", said:" it is difficult to shoot in Hong Kong because many streets are difficult to lend, but there are no restrictions on specific blasting sites. In the mainland, some places cannot shoot explosion scenes, and those landmark buildings have special meanings. "

< Strong> those deleted shots
