Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to make such a movie. If it is severely deleted, the artistry of the movie may not be guaranteed." Gong Li said with some worry.

The censorship situation in Hong Kong is endless, but how strict the censorship system in the mainland is, as a student who has starred in three movies, Gong Li still knows something, even films like The Last Emperor and Red Sorghum. When it was released, everything was cut, not to mention the silent lamb. The episode of Hannibal’s escape from prison would never be shown bloody on the screen.

"Well, yes, it is really not easy for such a film to pass the review." Qiao Feng nodded.

Before the Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Hong Kong government's regulations on film supervision were quite loose. As I took power on the mainland, the relationship between China and Hong Kong gradually became tense.

In 1953, the Hong Kong government ordered the deportation of more than 20 left-wing film workers. This incident led the Hong Kong government to formulate a stricter electronic censorship ordinance that year, which was led by the Director of the Information Department responsible for government propaganda and news affairs. The film censorship has thus become institutionalized.

However, the censorship work at this time was only carried out under an "executive order", and there was no formal legal basis, that is, the rule of man rather than the rule of law. This is actually quite ironic when talking about democracy in Hong Kong.

Therefore, the Hong Kong government often bans movies that may offend our party because of its relationship with mainland China.For example, Tang Shuxuan's "Goodbye China" produced in Hong Kong in 1973 was banned for describing the content of intellectual youths fleeing to Hong Kong. The Taiwanese film "Empress Queen" directed by Bai Jingrui was officially screened in Hong Kong in 1981. The Hong Kong government’s announcement of a screening ban reflects the serious problem of the Hong Kong government’s "political influence on the censorship".

In general, the Hong Kong Checkpoint at this time is actually the same as the big scissors that has been practiced in China, that is, the film is in line with political correctness. It does not mean that your film is good. You have to conform to the three views and will not cause What non-essential influence will do.

Although it is not as strict as the mainland Scissors, it is not easy to pass the trial in Hong Kong that is too bloody and explicit. It has always been the focus of the electronic prosecution office and the target of deletion.

"However, although the current censorship system is very difficult to pass, it will not be long before the Hong Kong government will introduce a new film censorship system. At that time, this film will definitely be fine." Qiao Feng said.

Gong Li blinked his eyes, wondering why Qiao Feng was so determined and said.

"You haven't stayed in Hong Kong for a long time, so you don't know. In fact, the previous film censorship system was illegal and was carried out without a legal basis." Qiao Feng explained.

"Ah, how is it possible?" Gong Li exclaimed, covering his mouth.

"Nothing is impossible. Of course, everyone has never thought about this. It wasn't until the Asian Wall Street Journal publicly revealed this secret in March last year that everyone knew that the film censorship system that has been followed for so many years turned out to be The illegal ones caused a lot of shock and sensation at the time." Qiao Feng continued to explain.

"After the report came out, the Executive Council of the Hong Kong Government and the Legislative Council quickly set up a task force to review the newly drafted "Film Censorship Bill." Recently, there have been frequent news that I am afraid that the new film censorship system will be released. At that time, film production had certain specifications, and film production was also based on evidence. There was no need to worry about the difficulty of stepping on the line to pass the trial."

"Hey, I don't know when there will be a reasonable film censorship system in China." Gong Li said with some envy.

She has a lot of understanding of European and American film censorship systems. Many countries in Europe and America have mature film censorship grading systems. For example, the United States divides movies into five levels according to age groups, g, pg, pg13, r, nc17 .

G level is the general level, pg is the counseling level, and 13 is the special counseling level. Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by their parents.

These three levels are all considered popular levels, and they are also the level that ordinary movies are most likely to win.

And the remaining R grade,

According to the content of the film, the age group suitable for viewing is defined and divided. Its original intention is to protect children and young people. However, in most countries, such a film classification system has no legal effect, but it is binding within the industry. It only serves as a reminder to the audience, but gives the audience the right to choose, and the audience protects themselves.

With a system to rely on, filmmakers will naturally have a more relaxed environment to make the films they want to make. If you want to make the first three levels, then reduce the exposure, love, blood, etc. in the film. Taste, love, then let go of production, anyway, there are special groups of people.

This is naturally a very good system for filmmakers, but in Qiao Feng’s opinion, let alone the present, it is impossible for the mainland to open up film censorship and have a rating system.

Because if there is a system, isn’t it just telling everyone that there is a system to rely on? What if someone produces a movie that matches the system’s classification, but the country does not allow it to be released for various reasons? What should I do? Your own face? This must be impossible.

The mainland will not let this happen, and the rights of cultural propaganda will definitely be firmly held in the hands of the state, so that it can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. Whether the film is good or not is the final decision. , Not by the system.

This has its disadvantages, but it also has its advantages. After all, many issues are very sensitive to politics, and they have absolute censorship rights for what they can and cannot say. For those who seem to have no problem, but for some reasons, such as political reasons, I don’t want Let the film that is released, you can just find an excuse to play it back, or cut it with big scissors.

Film and television censorship has always been a hot topic in the society in the original space-time, and it will appear in two days.When it comes to censorship, the next topic is classification.These two issues seem to be the same issue to some extent. Many people in the industry, such as certain directors, often call for the replacement of film censorship with film classification systems, but there has been no follow-up.

In Qiao Feng's view, this is very understandable, and it is normal not to engage in classification, because no matter how civilized and diverse the thinking of ordinary Chinese people has been.

But what this country still implements is a top-down unified system of culture and ideas.This system determines that it is almost impossible to implement a hierarchical system in China.
