[Entertainment and Entertainment at the Two Sessions] Hu Mei: China films should encourage financial capital to intervene

Hu Mei said that behind "Mermaid", which has created a box office of more than 3 billion yuan, is the result of the joint operation of financial companies, producers and distribution companies. It reflects the industrial trend of combining film production with financial capital,"relying on capital to Promote the development of my country's films will become a new business route worthy of admiration."

Hu Mei, a representative of the National People's Congress and vice chairman of the China Television Artists Association, said at the plenary meeting of the Jiangsu delegation on the 7th that based on the current growth rate, China may become the world's largest film market in 2017.

In recent years, my country's film industry reform has made significant achievements. Figures show that my country's film production output increased from 140 in 2003 to 686 in 2015, becoming the world's film superpower, second only to India and second beyond the United States.

Hu Mei said that with the rise of China, China's film industry is also booming. From 2014 to 2015, China's box office revenue increased by 51%, showing a spurt of development in the past five years."This momentum deserves our attention and we must seize this opportunity." At current growth rates, China may become the world's largest film market in 2017.

Hu Mei believes that movies can communicate with people around the world without obstacles. At the same time, movies are also a kind of dissemination of ideology. The rise of China must seize the medium of movies.

To revitalize the China nation and realize the China Dream, we must create cultural cohesion, but "we cannot blindly pursue box office and lose the next generation." Hu Mei suggested that China's film and television management should not only be uniformly distributed but also be handled in detail for different classes: in the face of rural areas and migrant workers, free screening of films should be increased; while in the face of urban audiences, financial capital should be encouraged to intervene.

She said that behind "Mermaid", which created a box office of 3.3 billion yuan per piece, is the result of the joint operation of financial companies, producers and distribution companies. It reflects the industrial trend of combining film production with financial capital."Relying on capital to promote my country's film development will become a new business route worthy of admiration."

In addition, for films that spread positive energy and core socialist values, she suggested that we should mobilize state support, increase publicity, and strengthen the distribution theaters of artistic films."Make China films not only a large country in number, but also a quality. A truly powerful country." Hu Mei said.

The popularity of the New Year box office from this year to the present shows that my country's film market will continue to maintain a high prosperity throughout this year, and the annual box office growth rate is expected to remain above 40%. With the inertia of the movie box office market, high-quality targets in all the above links will deserve continued attention.
