Not long after the Hong Kong government launched a rating system for comics, it also launched a rating system for movies, and the specific details were announced to the public.
There has been a film rating system before, and many countries have successively graded movies, but some of them are mandatory regulations, while some countries are just guidance and suggestions.
Among the rating systems of various countries, America's rating system is the most famous. Although America's film rating system is not the earliest, it is the most comprehensive and has guiding significance for subsequent film ratings in various countries.
In 1968, a new voluntary film rating system came into being, led by Jack Valenti, president of the American Film Association.
America movie ratings, g, pg, pg-13, r, n-17 and other ratings.
gSuitable for everyone to watch;
Rated PG, children can watch it if accompanied by their parents;
pg-13 rating, children under 13 years old must be accompanied by their parents to watch;
Rated R, children under the age of 17 without parental supervision are prohibited from viewing;
Rated n-17, no viewing by teenagers under 17 years old.
Lou Xiao'e thought for a while and said.
But the situation in Hong Kong is not very different from the actual situation in Japan where Bruce Lee has not yet been admitted.
Zou Wenhuai looked at the Jade Emperor Daily on his watch. The film classification in Hong Kong was not the same as that in later generations, and the classification of films was much more detailed.
"You're throwing it away. That's not too harsh. If something happens to the comics industry, what does it have to do with movies? The Hong Kong government is so idle."
In the past, the remuneration of Shaw Brothers would only get lower and lower. As the economy in Asia becomes more and more developed, Bad Laiwu has to use Shaw Brothers as the protagonist or the main supporting role for the sake of global box office and Asian audiences.
, coupled with Zhang Sheng supporting Shao Shilong from behind, I couldn’t say that my future was far away before.” Amelia said with emotion.
Zhang Zhonghua suddenly said to Amelia.
The box office actually reached 1.3 billion US dollars, which is 800 million Hong Kong dollars. The box office of Hong Kong movies in the past few years has not been this low.
The newsstand owner looked at the Jade Emperor Daily on his watch and lamented that the Hong Kong government had not acted so decisively and swiftly in a long time. It could be called slow and cruel. Those film companies, especially those in the society, would probably cry out.
"These are big things. How is the script of "Tangshan Brother" being written now?"
At that time, Hong Kong Island's film classification was severely affected by the Shiliang comic incident. The Hong Kong government was more tolerant of Hong Kong Island's film classification and basically adopted the world's mainstream film classification methods.
Fan Lelan sighed deeply when he thought of the old monopoly power of Badlaiwu. Alas, it is really difficult to release the card that Fan Lelan wants.
"I know, the film rating system is also wrong. At most, we can't get rid of these bastards. You are also trying to compete with us for the market and the audience. This has purified the film industry."
Unfortunately, there are many martial arts stars in Hong Kong, so there are some problems in letting Li Xiao play the leading role instead of Shaw Brothers.
Afterwards, Shaw Brothers Dragon became a global hit, and Golden Harvest hadn't finished filming a series of martial arts films, and several of the scripts were already broken.
"It seems that some of your scripts also need to be revised seriously, and the movies that are about to be shot also need a lot of revisions. I am afraid that they will be classified as r18 because of the revisions!"
But once the violence in a movie goes too far, it is said that the movie will be directly classified as r15 or r18. This will not cause many movies to be withdrawn and watched outside the theater, and it will not have a huge impact on the box office.
"Boss, what are you looking at?"
"That's right, how could you have thought of that! These little kids know nothing, they are all bad learners."
"The script of "Little Brother from Tangshan" is almost finished. Kung fu film director Luo Wei and the great novelist Ni Kuang are working on perfecting the script at the forefront, and they have to make some complicated changes. However, the changes are small.
[An app that has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old book-chasing tool. It is used by all old bookworms.

…
Almost all audiences and exhibitors will refer to the rating to decide whether to watch or screen the film. If the film company does not send the rating, the film will be like a fake without official certification, and it will not be able to obtain market permission. Theaters are also special.
Yes, it will be screened.
Brother Lan said contemptuously.
"Ah Hua, when will his movie "Xiao's Redemption" be released in Southeast Asia?"
Later Hong Kong films were divided into eight categories
"Is it because movies have also introduced a rating system now? Movies that used to show violence, gore, and sex have to be rectified. Young people can now go to the cinema to watch."
Zou Wenhuai watched the movie in a movie theater near Deep Water Bay Villa. The Jade Emperor Cinema Company built a movie theater directly outside there to allow wealthy people from afar to watch movies.
The eighth uncle of Jiahe Film Company is very distressed now. I think the film classification is not too lenient.
In America, after a film is completed, it is usually sent to the America Film Association for rating. Although this is not mandatory and is not subject to legal restrictions, it is a film protection mechanism developed voluntarily by filmmakers.
Category 1, only allowed to be viewed by persons under the age of 18.
The main movie-watching groups on Hong Kong Island are basically members of these societies. They took sugar canes and retreated into the cinema. A screening hall can only hold up to seven or eight hundred people.
Moreover, it takes a lot of time to translate movies into a few languages, and the Yanxia language is basically the first to be translated. The box office in Southeast Asia is basically non-existent for European and American countries.
Children under 18 cannot watch;
Once these small-scale productions of Fan Lelanka are sold out, the company will be severely damaged or even go bankrupt. Film companies in Southeast Asia dare to do that.
But when Amelia thought about Li Xiao stealing the actor's contract from Jiahe and burning it all, I felt that Li Xiao was too wild.
The production cost of that movie is also pitifully high, and Shaw Brothers may also watch the crew of "Tangshan Brother", which makes Amelia quite helpless because there is no possibility of being sued for infringement by Shaw Brothers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Zhonghua said helplessly.
Countless citizens on Hong Kong Island are very unhappy when they see the Hong Kong government's slow rollout of the film rating system. The Hong Kong government should have made efforts to rectify those good companies and purify the growth environment for young people.
Your dog brother came to buy a newspaper again and saw the newsstand owner reading the newspaper more seriously, so he asked.
Movie shooting costs are at the same level. The shooting cost of "General Patton" was as low as 10 million US dollars. If the publicity and distribution costs are added, it is even more unimaginable.
"Right, but it's okay to delete it, otherwise the movie will become restricted, and then there will be very few people who are not qualified to leave the theater to watch it. This will cost you your life."
"He means?"
"You have no way of retreating to Bad Laiwu!"
"It is relatively easy for films from Hong Kong Island and even the entire Asia to withdraw from the Valerian market. Let alone Japan's Toho and Toei Film Companies? We have to compromise when facing Badlaiwu.
, it will only make it more difficult for us.”
What's more, when the movie reaches Asia, a small amount of cuts must be made, especially if Bruce Lee's R-rated film goes to Southeast Asia, even if it is made redacted and cut, it is not allowed to be released in the first place."
Uncle Shao said with a smile.
The newsstand owner explained.
"Who's to say, it's not Zhang Sheng and I who are short of money. "The Dragon Crossing the River" specially created for Fan Lelong has cost a lot of money. It has exceeded the box office of the movie and is really great.
"His "The Shawshank Redemption" didn't have a too-bad-too-much plot. It was deleted. If it can be released, but if it is definitely deleted, the original drama will probably be very different."
Four Dragons, Tsim Sha Tsui.
I can tell that the detailed rules in my hand are based on the Bruce Lee card and the Japanese grading system.
It's a restricted movie and it's not a movie that can be released.
But before the movie rating system came out, my hands were old
Already.
The seventh part of the movie "Across the River" was also released on the Bruce Lee card for a month, and half a month later it was released in major countries around the world, and now it has finally entered the Southeast Asian market.
To put it bluntly, the movie is not an imitation of Shaw Brothers Jeet Kune Do. Fan Lelong's Los Angeles is about knocking down ten Taekwondo masters with white belts in two minutes.
Guanchang said depressedly.
Level 1, suitable for children to watch, is divided into level A and level B, which is not suitable for children and suitable for teenagers;
Nowadays, movies in Hong Kong are divided into seven levels. Young people aged 12, 15, and 18 need to be accompanied by their parents to watch them. It is also a critical blow to the film industry.
"It's The Shawshank Redemption. The release of this movie in Southeast Asia will be a month late at most. Most of the movies nowadays are released in Southeast Asia before being released in areas with low box office.
"Yes, after that, there were no more multiplexes secretly showing these movies. Then the film industry became cleaner. These movies could only be shown in the countryside or secretly in the middle of the night."
Emphasis is placed on being slow, accurate, and ruthless, almost all enemies can be defeated within two moves, and there are no sharp fists or kicks during the fight.
Fan Lelan looked at the rating system and laughed and laughed. In the past, if the underage members of the club didn't want to watch the movie, they only needed to find an adult club member to watch it, or they could carefully pull an adult and withdraw from the theater.
"It's just that there are no plots such as bloody violence in the comics, and there are no plots in the movies, and it is more intuitive. If these older children watch these movies in the cinema, will the children mature early or learn well? So the movie rating system is still wrong of."
Among them, the intermediate, a, and iib levels only serve as reminders. III-level films have no legal effect and must abide by the Hong Kong government's decision, otherwise the film will be illegally released.
If the movements and sounds of Shaw Brothers are imitated in the movie, the box office will be wrong, right?
Young people under 15 years old are not allowed to watch;
"Tangshan Brother" is a small production I prepared, and it was also prepared to imitate the style of Shaw Brothers. The whole movie changed the complicated and fancy moves in the future.
Fan Lelan took the film classification rules sent by the Hong Kong government and carefully studied the relevant regulations one by one. After reading it for a long time, I felt helpless. Is it pure plagiarism? Is it possible that there is no innovation?
The newsstand owner glanced at Brother Dog and thought, "I want to learn from him." No matter how good he is, he can only be like him, right?
"That's what you should take care of. The film industry's classification system has been officially established. The comic industry will be very stable in the next two or eight years. If we live up to those things..."
Yes, in fact the problem is that it is too small. Except for martial arts movies, which are poorly controlled, the ratings of other movies are still relatively poorly controlled.
Fan Lelan asked with frowning eyebrows.
The movie "The Crossing of the River" was also rated as G-12, and children over the age of 12 need to be accompanied by their parents to watch it. This is still wrong.
It would be too bad if Shaw Brothers could star in "Tangshan Little Brother". Unfortunately, we hired Fan Lelong. The investment and even box office of the movie will definitely be enough for Fan Lelong's salary." He
The introduction of the film rating system in Hong Kong had a huge impact on Wang Yu, because Fan Le was planning to focus on launching martial arts films. Now Shaw Brothers' martial arts films are very popular, and we want to capture the traffic.
Lou Xiao'e asked.
After all, Li Xiao is also the most popular martial arts star in Southeast Asia. Although he is on the same level as Shaw Brothers, his popularity is still not the same. If he imitates Shaw Brothers' style and shoots, he should be able to make a small fortune. .
"There is a way. As long as there are no such societies, these salty things will always be sealed or removed."
Originally, I wanted to hire Fan Lelong to act, but Shaw Brothers' current salary is too low. We Wang Yu can afford to hire such a super small actor, and the film cost is still enough for Fan Lelong's salary.
Young people under 12 years old are not allowed to watch;
Now the seventh part of "The Way of the Dragon" has been released. Although the momentum is not the same as the first one, the global box office may reach tens of millions of dollars. Sure enough, the movie is still very good in Hollywood.
It is difficult to avoid violent scenes in martial arts movies, because if a martial arts movie is definitely more violent, then what kind of martial arts movie is it? Whether it has violent scenes or not, it doesn’t make much sense to watch the movie. If the box office fails;
The first level is not a special level and no one can watch it;
"Myna, it is a small trend that film classifications will be lowered. As Hong Kong Island declassifies films, you estimate that various countries in Southeast Asia will also introduce their own film classification systems. It is a matter of sooner or later."
Hands-on, no one can watch;
The film rating systems of various countries around the world are similar but have great differences, and they are all divided into seven levels.
Special citizens on Hong Kong Island can only watch movies in some relatively dangerous theaters. Even then, the effect of watching movies is very bad.
Furthermore, I was used by Uncle Eight to re-sign contracts with these actors on the pretext of a salary increase, which curtailed my plans to continue poaching people.
"If there is no demand, there is no market. If there is no living space, it means there is no demand."
Fortunately, it is rated G12. If Across the River was rated R15 and only allowed to be watched by children under 15 years old, this movie would not be as popular in Southeast Asia.
Uncle Shao carefully read the film classification rules issued by the Hong Kong government one by one. As a result, he became more and more confused. As a filmmaker, he naturally did not understand the film classification system.
