A few days ago, the "Law on the Promotion of the Film Industry (draft)" was submitted for consideration again, and the second draft added content on the protection of minors. If a draft review suggests that the film shown may cause physical or psychological discomfort to the audience, it shall be prompted. The second draft adjusts this to: the legal person or other organization that makes the film shall place the logo of the film public release license obtained at the beginning of the film; if the film showing may cause physical or psychological discomfort to the audience such as minors, it shall be prompted.
original title: prompt in time and try to manage at different levels according to media reports, the Law for the Promotion of the Film Industry, known as the "first Law of Chinese Film", was drafted in 2003. In October last year, the Law on the Promotion of the Film Industry (draft) was published for the first time, and the standing Committee of the National people's Congress deliberated the draft for the first time. A few days ago, the draft was once again submitted to the standing Committee of the National people's Congress for deliberation. compared with the first review of the draft, the new film practitioners in the second trial should be both virtuous and artistic, with a maximum fine of 500000 yuan for creating false transactions to mislead the audience, and shall not promote terrorism and extremism. Cancel the "Film production license" and other contents. No rules, no square. If the Film Industry Promotion Law (draft) can be published as soon as possible, it will certainly guide the development of the film industry in a more healthy and orderly manner. This is naturally a great good thing loved by the broad audience. in the content reported by the media, we can see that compared with the first review of the manuscript, the second review of the draft has increased the content of the protection of minors. After reviewing the draft, it is suggested that if the film shown may cause physical or psychological discomfort to the audience, it should be prompted. The second draft adjusts this to: the legal person or other organization that makes the film shall place the logo of the film public release license obtained at the beginning of the film; if the film showing may cause physical or psychological discomfort to the audience such as minors, it shall be prompted. it is really embarrassing to take a minor to the cinema and encounter the scene of "unsuitable for children". I believe that most people have experienced this situation. Now, the regulation of "if the film screening may cause physical or psychological discomfort to the audience, such as minors, should be prompted", it is believed that it will ease this embarrassment to some extent. However, what kind of scenes will cause physical or psychological discomfort to the audience such as minors? To what extent of discomfort need to be stated in advance? What is the difference between this hint and the earlier "unsuitable for children" hint? We didn't find the answer. This makes people have to re-ask an old question: can the film classification system solve this problem more thoroughly? find out that movie rating is a concept that provides audiences with the suitability of a film for children and adults. In some places, the film classification system may have the legal effect of forcing minors to refuse to watch certain films; in others, although there is no legal effect, cinemas still enforce film classification restrictions. For a long time, the discussion about the implementation of film classification system has never stopped. In international practice, the film classification system actually has two meanings: one is to expand the expression space of film creation, and the other is to guide the underage audience. Of course, any "convention" should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Domestic films have their own growth and development environment, but this environment does not mean that the reasonable and legal consumption requirements of all audiences are completely the same. Since the audience's consumption requirements are not consistent, then, we can start from the most basic classification to guide the audience to watch the movie in advance. Of course, this practice will not contradict the film censorship system, nor will it lead to the proliferation of pornographic and violent films. A relevant person from the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television once said: "the reason why it has not been implemented is that it is difficult to meet the grading requirements in view of China's current level of economic and cultural development and the level of film management. In other words, the management can not keep up, and the grading system is out of the question. For example, in the past, Chinese movies tried 'unsuitable for children', but then stopped. Because the management can't keep up. It is impossible to do so, as in the United States, if minors under the age of 18 enter the cinema without their parents, their parents will be severely punished. Our situation here is that not only cannot management be implemented, but on the contrary, 'unsuitable for children' has become a target of hype. Therefore, at present, the primary problem of Chinese films is not film classification, but to improve the film system, standardize the film market, and improve the level of management. " This is true, but since the level of management can not keep up, it would be better to exercise strict supervision and improve the level of management, which is not contradictory to film classification. It is believed that the management level of Chinese films will be significantly improved as a result of the gradual implementation and implementation of the classification system.
