The two notification criticisms will undoubtedly add a little shadow to the film and television industry. However, in fact, there are more than two film and television companies affected by factors such as epidemics.

In the first half of this year, Wanda Film and Television had a net loss of 581 million yuan in the first half of the year, a year -on -year decrease of 190.98%. Wanda Film and Television said that in the first half of the year, the number of theaters was suspended in the number of cinemas in the country in the first half of the year.

Under the prevention and control of the epidemic, the film and television industry is full of uncertainty. At the same time, this uncertainty also eliminates investors' confidence in film and television projects, affecting the flow of funds in the entire industry. Under this "dark moment", the possibility of the performance trailer of the film and television company and the final real performance is also unavoidable.

How to eliminate the "cold" industry?

Three years of epidemic, the project is put on hold, lacks funds, no one watchs the theater, and the industry practitioners are discouraged. The film and television industry is now a wolf borrowing, and it is full of waste. Everyone is looking forward to a day of recovery in this industry, but the question is how to promote the industry to recover?

On August 15 this year, at the 12th Beijing International Film Festival China Film Investment and Financing Summit, Rao Shuguang, president of the Chinese Film Review Society, once said, "In the first two years of the epidemic, the Chinese film box office ranked first in the world. But this year, the box office of the American film has surpassed nearly 10 billion yuan in China. From a positive perspective, the fundamentals of the film market are still there, and 'lack of money' and 'lack of sources' is the problem that needs to be solved. "

Since March this year, a new round of epidemic has affected 28 provinces. As a gathering contact service industry, the film industry is facing the test of life and death again. Especially since March, there have been many cinemas across the country have suspended business, and the operating rate is even less than 50%.

In this context, nearly 20 provinces and cities including Gansu Province, Chongqing, Guangdong, Guangdong, Hunan Province, Shandong Province, Yunnan Province, Heilongjiang Province, Anhui Province, etc. On the one hand, the "National Film Bureau's strict grasp of the cinema epidemic situation strictly grasped the cinema epidemic situation "Notice of Prevention and Control" requires a series of policies to help enterprises, including tax cuts, rents and exemption, consumer vouchers issuance, promotional activities, employment support, financial support, optimization of the operating environment, etc. After the difficulty, many of the assistance policies have tilted to the film industry, especially theaters.

Of course, the support of the policy is just one aspect, and the entire industry still needs to inflow the investment. However, whether it is policy support or the confidence of investors, it is necessary to have content that can impress and attract the audience. Only in this way, the entire film industry is likely to "return to life."

Also ignoring, in the increasingly harsh public opinion environment, some people with ulterior motives, in order to traffic, slander the high -quality movies, making the space for film practitioners in exerting creative capabilities.

For example, after the movie "Hidden Dust Smoke" was released, countless people were moved by the rough and real characters, and the emotions of implicit and implicit life. After reading it, some people evaluated it " is love". In this environment where everyone spit out film and television dramas from the public's real life, the film seemed so grounded. The explosion of this movie makes people see that domestic movies still have the strength and sincerity of "standing up".

But it is such a rare work, but there are many people who have a big tart to the traffic. It is said that the directors are "bad hearts" and "their hearts can be babble", as if they do not let this work go into the abyss.

Not long ago, Disney's former CEO Bob Igel said the epidemic left "permanent scar" to the cinema business. The senior media executive said at the VOX media code conference held in Bifeli Hills, California, saying, "As far as the number of viewers is concerned, I think the movie will never return to the level before the epidemic."

Whether domestic movies will also be as said, it is unknown at this time. However, it is clear that in the current cold winter of film and television, in addition to policy support, restoring investment confidence and creating space for high -quality content is still the "cold air" that the industry needs to break through.
