After Yi Feiyang and the Paramount representative negotiated the sharing contract, the next submission before the movie's release, as well as the classification, were all handed over to Paramount's people.

After all, the theater line is theirs. What grade can they be arranged for, how much popularity and box office can they earn. In this regard, the emperor is not in a hurry, Paramount should be more concerned than Dream Film.

It is said that in the United States, there is a very strict film classification system. When a play is about to be released, it will be arranged for review. The place for review belongs to the "Electronic Inspection Department" of the American Film Association.

In fact, at the beginning of the century, the censorship system in the United States had no standards, and it was purely "wild way". At the time, US officials believed that the film was purely commercial and not protected by the Constitution's "free speech". Therefore, the films of that era were subject to censorship by the local axe department, and the federal government axed and ignored those issues. Each state and municipal axe has issued regulations to censor films. What wild mules, wild horses, and wild king eight films have all appeared, violence is rampant, pornography is unlimited, and the chaotic results of the film market can be imagined ...

In 1952, the Federal Supreme Court held that films should also enjoy the right to "freedom of speech", so the censorship of films by local governments has lost its legal basis. However, the Supreme Court still reserves the right to censor the "silver-foul" content in the film. This ethical requirement for censorship has made American movies more restrictive for pornography and more lenient for violence and other content.

After the disappearance of the US political axe's censorship system for films, in the face of social criticism of film content, film censorship has become a self-regulatory act within the film industry. It was not until 1968 that the American Film Institute began to develop a film rating system that standardized film censorship explicitly. So far, this movie rating system has been in place for nearly 40 years.

This time, the three films shot by Yi Feiyang's Fantasy Films, "Live Buried", "Terror Cruises", and "Ghost Record", were respectively arranged at different levels according to the "Film Classification Review Requirements" of the American Film Association.

"Buried Alive" and "Terror Cruise" all belong to the PG-13 level: special tutoring level, and it is recommended for children after the age of 13 to watch.

Yi Feiyang tampered with the content of "The Grudge", and the new "Ghost Record" covered with the coat of "Ghost Record" was arranged into r-level: restricted level, it is recommended to watch over 17 years old.

Originally, according to the content of super-horror, "Ghost Shadow" was scheduled to be nc-17, that is, under 17 years old (including 17 years old) is forbidden to watch, but Paramount is an old member of the Film Association. With the back door, the Film Censorship Association has eased the way.

In fact, "review through the back door" is common in the US film review process.

You know, the American Film Institute is a non-governmental organization with ambiguous relations with political axe. Its main members include: Warner, Universal, Disney, Century Fox, Paramount, Sony, etc. These major movie companies control 95% of the United States Movie business. The parent company or group of these movie companies owns more than 90% of all American media. As a result, the American Film Institute's rating system is often a loss for reading producers outside of major movie studios. In other words, reading-produced films are vulnerable to ratings. An unsatisfactory rating can lead to the loss of reading movies, and the monopoly of large companies will not be challenged.

Of course, reading movies can also not participate in the rating, because the rating is voluntary. However, if you do n't participate in the grading, you can only show in a few theaters. The survey shows that more than 80% of the theaters have formed alliances with the American Film Institute, adhere to the rating system, and reject unrated movies. The reason is simple. The main income of the theater system depends on the big movie companies.

In the United States, some people have compared the film lenses of reading films with those of large companies, and found that almost the same lenses are classified as nc-17 if they are from reading films. If they are from large companies, they are classified as nc-17. Divided into r levels.

But one of these scenes is exceptional, that is, "Lust. Caution" filmed by the previous Chinese director Li Press.

The producer of Li An's "Lust Ring" is the president of "Focus" Film Company. This company was founded in 2004 and has a very low qualification. Therefore, will the nc-17 rating be a warning to this "smaller generation"? We cannot guess. However, Focus Movies is affiliated with Universal Pictures, and Universal is an important member of the American Film Association. Will the rating system operate on its own?

After "Lust Ring" was graded, the producer quickly expressed acceptance of the result and did not even require re-grading after modification. It was a little strange, and it should be said to be "clear": who made Li Press not a blonde American Guy, but Chinese with black hair and black eyes!

Compared to Li Jian, a former director of the Chinese People's Congress, and Yi Feiyang, respectively, as the producer and director of three plays, luck is very good. At least that "Ghost Record" looks at Paramount's face and is divided into r-levels, not pit father's nc-17.

Of course, this is also because although Yi Feiyang is a Chinese, his popularity is still not enough. Although he has broken through the 200 million "Witch Blair", it belongs to the "second-hand trafficker". The movie he has actually filmed has not seen any skill yet, so Being valued by the American film industry, he will not be seen as a "threat" to American films.

Today, the review and grading of the three films of Fantasy Films has been quickly completed under the "interference" of Paramount.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Just waiting for the Halloween season to be released on time.

Here at Fantasy Films, we are brave enough to swear by our promises.

After all, it is the first shot of the company's establishment. If it can make a big splash, that's fine.

What's more, it is a triple combo. If you can hit the bull's eye with a cannon, it will be a big hit, so how can the people in Dream Studio not be excited? !!

In contrast, Paramount Corporation, which arranges the release of theaters, looks very bland, and can even be said to be cold.

In fact, Paramount, a film industry boss, simply looks down on this big shit movie company owned by Yi Feiyang, and will not put all its theater lines on "Buried Alive", "Terror Cruise" and "Ghost Shadow" "Record" on three small films.

Paramount just pulled out one-tenth of the main theater line to give these three rehearsals, and the rest all invested more, the director was more arrogant, and the overall feeling of "moonlight panic 7" ".

"Moonlight" is a well-known series of horror movies for Halloween. The audience is fixed and the investment risk is small. Emperor Film Company is relatively well-known. It is definitely a wise choice to help the show.

In other words, Yi Feiyang accidentally became the "brother of the same teacher" with Emperor Gate Pictures, competing with Paramount Cinemas.

However, from the beginning, the starting point of Dream Movies was a little lower. Three dramas each had only one tenth of the share; and Emperor Gate's "Moonlight" occupied seven tenths.

Although Paramount's movie theaters don't have a lot of movie productions, it is enough for Yi Feiyang.

Gold will always shine.

It's a bitch and a horse, so you have to pull it out!

Yi Feiyang has confidence in the three films he shot. He believes that as soon as the film is released, it will definitely change the thinking of Paramount executives. Unless they are a bunch of fools who don't want to make money ...

...

Ideals are beautiful, and reality is cruel.

I have to say that Yi Feiyang overestimated the potential of his three plays, or that the word-of-mouth and box office of the three plays in the previous life had affected his judgment of the effect after the release too much.

November 1, 1998.

Western Halloween.

This night, the group of monsters danced on the big screen, and the group of ghosts roared.

Basically, the small movie companies all gathered in this devil and wolf, and what zombies, werewolves, vampires, and cold-faced killers wearing white masks all jumped out and performed their killing stunts on the screen. Opening the intestines and breaking the belly, blood flying across ...

"Moneylight Panic 7", "Scream of Shock 2", and "Ghost Baby Soul 4", these films have a fixed audience, causing young people to flock.

And Yi Feiyang once produced "Witch Blair", now the sequel is released, but also with the mystery and horror that has not yet extinguished, has attracted many young audiences.

In contrast, Yi Feiyang's three plays are hard-pressed.

"Terror Cruises" and "Buried Alive" had less than 20% attendance!

In other words, in a movie hall with a hundred seats, only twenty people chose to watch the two plays.

The slow pace of the film, the images are not bloody enough, and there is no visual impact, which is the biggest criticism of the audience.

"Damn, it's Halloween tonight, and let us watch such a dull movie!"

"We want blood, we need violence, we want flesh and blood! Don't bury this shit alive, and there are repeated cruise stories!"

"Is there anything wrong? Is this a horror movie? How can I watch it without being surprised? Although I only watched the beginning, I can be sure that this is absolutely a bad movie!"

...

"That China Yi is really hopeless. I thought he was so good. I made such a bad movie!"

"Ha, Erdao trafficker is Erdao trafficker! Take a look, what shit fantasy film works is simply rubbish!"

"The Chinese are not suitable for making movies. That China Yi is also an upstart. Look at the present, the original shape is revealed!"

...

It can be said that many young people who have been fed up with blood have an appetite. It is difficult to accept Yi Feiyang's "Live Buried" and "Terror Cruise" during the Halloween season.

After the end of the premiere, as the director of the bunny Bill and the fat Jack, the brother can not help crying.

Too bullying!

This is the first time people have filmed a movie, they have been scolded so miserably!

Whoohoo!

In contrast, Yi Feiyang directed the "Ghost Shadow Record", which incorporated the content of "The Grudge", but received unexpected effects when it premiered.

(The reason for not updating too much is that the old man at home is sick and needs to take care of it. There is also a draft, so please understand!)
