Confronting Hollywood is a global issue. How to deal with the strong invasion of Hollywood movies is an issue that most countries and regions in the world must seriously consider when exhibiting local movies. The most common method is the quota system, that is, legislation to force cinemas to screen local movies that must not be less than the specified number of days each year. 1?

The quota system restricts Hollywood movies in the field of market circulation and opens up living space for local movies. In the field of production, many countries also have support and subsidy policies specifically for local movie shooting.

Specifically for different countries, the policy details of quota or subsidies vary, but most of them have built a mechanism that can operate effectively and is basically accepted by domestic filmmakers, domestic audiences and Hollywood. Compared with the simple and crude national film protection month, such protection measures will not seriously violate the principle of free competition in the market economy, nor will they brutally infringe on the audience's right to choose to watch movies.

The movie quota system, called "" in English, refers to a government that passes legislation to force domestic cinemas to screen local movies that must not be less than the specified number of days each year. This is currently a common method for many countries to fight against Hollywood.

The UK first implemented a film quota system in 1927, and the most famous film quota system was South Korea. South Korea's film quota system is also known as the domestic film voluntary release system. Since 1996, the South Korean government has stipulated that every hall in every cinema in the country must screen Korean films for more than 146 days a year.

In France, in addition to the strict quota system, the government has also formulated many policies to support the shooting of local films. The banks can enjoy corresponding funding from the beginning of script creation to filming of local films. The funding mainly comes from the commission of theater income, and a part comes from the national special reward fund.

In addition, France will also impose special taxes on the box office of Hollywood movies, which will be used to cultivate local French film talents and support local film creation.

To a certain extent, just like insisting on not grading movies, the domestic protection month is simple and crude, and can be regarded as a time-saving and labor-saving method for large scissors.

The most critical point is that whether it is the quota system for the screening side or the support and subsidies for the production side, these specific policies to protect local films are clearly stipulated in most countries through legislation.

As for the big scissors, they directly publicly declared that they had never set up a domestic protection month

The Dark Knight Rises has received some treatment in the Chinese market. Duke is powerless, and compared with the Chinese market, the chaotic North America has already involved too much energy and has no time to pay too much attention to overseas situations.

After Monday, the Dark Knight Rises ushered in a working day. The box office on that day fell sharply by 50% compared to Sunday, closing at $22.14 million.

After this period of fermentation, the impact of the shooting on the rise of the Dark Knight has become increasingly obvious.

"If the current situation continues."

Sitting in the reception room of the eye-shaped villa, Pani Kellis, the public relations expert, frowned, "The North American box office trend of the Dark Knight Rises is not optimistic."

"So, we have to find a way to divert the attention of the media and the public." Duke rubbed his forehead with a headache. "If a sensational piece could be released at this time, the pressure on us and the Dark Knight Rises would be much less."

Pani Kellis looked through the window and looked at the manor gate, "Didn't Tina go to see Li Peisi?"

Duke nodded slightly, "I hope Tina can bring some good news."

Like all the wealthy people, Duke has a good relationship with the Los Angeles authorities, especially the Los Angeles County Sheriff. Tina Fee went to downtown Los Angeles to meet County Sheriff Li Pace early this morning. It is said that James Holmes' case has made some unexpected progress. Before the next case briefing, Li Pace will be the first to disclose some relevant information to Duke.

In this way, Duke and Warner Bros. will have more time to prepare.

At about noon, Tina Fe rushed Malibu and entered the reception room before she sat down, she said, "During the police interrogation, James Holmes claimed that last year's Van Diesel's car accident was not an accident, but a carefully planned murder, and he was the one who directly committed it!"

"What?" Pany Kellis seemed unable to believe such news. Vin Diesel died of murder?"

Compared to Pani Kellis, Duke seems more calm. Since Li Peisi revealed this news to Tina Fei, he must be very sure.

He nodded slightly, signaling that he knew, then stood up and walked to the window, looked outside, his brain flew.

Why did James Holmes attack Van Diesel?

This person's thinking is obviously a bit problematic, which can be seen from his imitation of the clown's behavior. If we speculate on this, it is not a strange thing.

The question is, James Holmes pursues a sensational effect like a clown, why did Van Diesel still silently until now? This is obviously inconsistent with his behavior at Santa Monica Commercial Plaza.

Duke told Tina Fey and Pani Kellis about this idea.

Pany Kellis is already seventy years old and has experienced more things. He just thought about it and said, "There is another possibility that James Holmes is just an implementer, not a planner."

Tina Fee added, "It may also be hiring. If it is hiring, it can explain why James Holmes, an unemployed person, has a large amount of money to buy weapons and ammunition."

Sitting on his own sand, Duke couldn't help but gently tap the sand's armrest.

"If it is hired, who is the hiring person?"

Tina Fei's words made all the three people in the reception room think.

Five minutes later, Duke slowly spoke, "Whoever is the biggest beneficiary will be the greatest."

Tina Fee and Pani Kellis looked at each other and couldn't help but think of a name. Is it really possible?

This is just a speculation. Duke will not make any statement in this regard. He thought for a while and said, "I informed Warner people of the case and prepared the Warner media. When the police officially announced the news, it is best to let Vin Diesel die of murder to dilute the public pressure facing the rise of the Dark Knight."

Tina Fei nodded slightly.

Duke reminded again, "You stay in touch with Li Pace and can use all the resources we can use to put pressure on the Los Angeles police to continue their investigation of James Holmes."

The laws of this country are indeed perfect and have so-called judicial independence. However, the distance between fairness, openness and justice is as far as the earth is to the zenith star, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff will be affected too much.

Even Vin Diesel's murder is incomplete and it is not impossible.

Today, the focus of the media across the United States is still on the shooting of Santa Monica Commercial Plaza. However, compared with the previous few days, there were also reflection voices in the media. The positions of these voices are relatively fair, and what they say is not unreasonable in Duke's opinion.

The gunshots under the screen sounded again in the theaters in the United States. There was no man to turn the tide, and no heroes fell from the sky.

Some are just scattered popcorn, panicked crowds and harsh sirens.

The puzzling and indignant violence once again put the topic of "Whether the movie should be reviewed and it gave birth to violence" to the table. This is not the first time that people have engaged in criminal acts because of movies or imitation of movies: groups commit crimes according to Italian missions, American youth John Hinckley assassinated Reagan for Judy Foster, and born murderer brings worship of imitators

To this day, tragedy is no longer simply murder, attack and explosion, but rather challenging social order by creating public chaos. This ideological anti-civilization and anarchy tendency is about to emerge.

Under the display of spectacular violence in Hollywood, imitating violence on the screen has become a gradual escalating normal. So, are the many elemental media, communication, audience, and epistemology involved in narratives all to blame?

In today's mass communication, violence is often entertained, overwhelmed and aestheticized. Although there is still no sufficient evidence to prove that violent shots on movies or TV are related to violent tendencies, it is certain that a person is ready to commit crimes and may be affected by the movies and push the criminal sentiment to a critical point, leading to atrocities.

Many people in Hollywood have also come forward to express their opinions.

Harvey Weinstein made a serious suggestion in the face of the camera that Hollywood movies should sit down and review the impact of violence in Hollywood movies on people and the roles played by filmmakers in it.

And the media, with the New York Post as the media, supports this view Our current movies are surrounded by blood and violence, and Hollywood should pay for it.

On the other hand, Time magazine stood up to support Batman, believing that this innocent movie was just a baptism of a coincidence and tragedy. Don’t blame Batman. The criminal always grabs something at will to defend his distorted behavior.

The relevant psychologist also said, "A young man who watched a violent movie and felt very cool would kill people. This statement does not hold true, and the motive for crime is insufficient. Something must have happened in his life that prompted him to commit crimes, but we don't know yet."

Should movies be responsible for violent crimes? Should movies really be criticized like this? Even Harvey Weinstein, who calls for the reduction of visual violence, expressed doubts. He knew that violent aesthetics are often inseparable from creation, style and excitement. "I have produced many violent movies. Sometimes I suddenly feel like 'I can't do this anymore, please cut these scenes'. But you know, you have to respect the director's creation, which is indeed a difficult problem."

This difficult problem, this unbalanced situation is like all the paradoxes in the world, and it is hard to come to a conclusion.

As a result, a debate about whether film violence is guilty has exploded across the United States. (To be continued.)
