The Film Industry Promotion Law will be officially implemented on March 1. Recently, Yin Hong, a professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at Tsinghua University, revealed at a symposium that the "Film Industry Promotion Law" imposes a penalty period on actors involved in drugs and pornography, and actors may return to the screen after correcting them.

In this regard, the reporter further learned from Professor Yin Hong that the "Film Industry Promotion Law" punishes actors involved in drugs and pornography, but it is unlikely that they will be banned for life. If such actors want to return to the screen,"at least for a long time not to commit another crime, realize their mistakes, and restore their public image." In addition, if an actor is involved in drugs or pornography twice, he will be punished more severely.

At present, the "Film Industry Promotion Law" only provides in principle, and specific details are still under discussion. They will involve many aspects such as national, individual and social morality. Due to the many details discussed, the release time cannot be determined.

After being corrected for pornography and drugs, you can return to the screen or introduce a disciplinary committee mechanism.

Reporter: You mentioned before that actors will be punished after being involved in pornography and drugs. So what is the specific punishment for such actors in the current Film Industry Promotion Law?

Yin Hong: There are no specific regulations yet, and specific regulations will have to be dealt with in future implementation rules. It makes some principles on artists 'moral and social norms and behaviors, but has no details. Therefore, there will definitely be detailed requirements for implementation in the future.

Reporter: Will the future rules be recommendatory provisions or mandatory provisions?

Yin Hong: There are mandatory regulations, but there are currently no specific regulations and operating rules. For example, there is no specific time for punishment for specific punishment rules.

Reporter: After the "Film Industry Promotion Law" comes out, will there be a lifelong ban on actors involved in pornography and drugs?

Yin Hong: It's difficult for me to judge this. It depends on the results of everyone's discussion. But I don't think it's very good under normal circumstances. For example, some people who commit a criminal act can resume their employment after they are deprived of their political rights and after their sentences have passed.

Reporter: You mentioned before that if an actor corrects his pornographic and drug-related behavior, it is still possible to make a movie again. What are the criteria for judging this correction?

Yin Hong: At least he won't make it again for a long time. He also realizes his mistake and also wants to restore his public image. This is also the practice abroad. Some foreign performing stars and sports stars will also do something that violates social morality. After being punished, they will take public welfare actions. They no longer committed crimes during the punishment period, admitted their mistakes, and would take some public welfare actions to restore their image, which may cause him to return to his original artistic work.

Reporter: After correcting, if an actor is involved in drugs or pornography twice, will the punishment be more serious?

Yin Hong: Of course, the whole world is the same. If you commit a repeat or repeat offense, the punishment will definitely be more serious. In the future, there may be a mechanism such as a disciplinary committee to judge whether it is more serious and how to deal with it. In foreign countries, it is usually discussed by the disciplinary committee within the industry, including the judgment of the importance and severity of the matter.

The "Film Law" is about to be promulgated soon, and the detailed rules are being discussed to cover national issues and personal ethics.

Reporter: Are the specific detailed rules of the "Film Industry Promotion Law" already under discussion?

Yin Hong: Many detailed rules are under discussion. Many regulations in it (the Film Industry Promotion Law) require detailed rules, such as review procedures and review standards. Although there are already major principles, these principles all require detailed rules, including how to implement them, as well as punishment for market irregularities, who is the subject, who will punish, who will provide evidence, and who will judge. Now it is only stipulated that this should be done, but there are no specific details that need to be gradually discussed and improved one by one. It may take a long time for all the details to be implemented.

Reporter: When will the specific details be available?

Yin Hong: This depends on the specific circumstances of the discussion. There is no specific determination in terms of time. This depends on whether everyone's opinions are consistent during the discussion. If everyone's opinions differ greatly, the discussion time will be longer.

Reporter: You mentioned that there will be different penalties based on different circumstances. What are the different circumstances in general?

Yin Hong: These detailed rules have not been discussed yet, so it is difficult for me to talk about these things now, but they will definitely be involved. There are not only major issues of the country, but also issues of personal morality, and issues of social morality, which must be dealt with according to the severity of the situation.
