The person in charge of the TV drama department of the General Administration: the proposed three-level standard in the graded system research.

A person in charge of the TV drama department of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television once told the media that the classification of TV dramas in China has entered the research stage of studying the TV grading system of more than a dozen countries and regions abroad, and not only will be considered to set aside time periods, there may also be special channels.

Tian Jin, deputy director of the State Administration of Press, publication, Radio, Film and Television, recently responded to the deletion and revision of the TV series "the Legend of Wu Meiniang" and "back to the Story" because it received many complaints from viewers after it was broadcast, reflecting some problems such as pictures that are not conducive to the healthy growth of minors. The State Administration of Press, publication, Radio, Film and Television found that there was indeed a problem that the play had not been modified and ordered investment institutions and production institutions to broadcast it after revision in accordance with the law.

the Legend of Wu Mei Niang has been re-cut, and public attention only focuses on the appropriateness of overexposed costumes, but it reflects the bad tendency of vulgar hype of TV dramas in our country. At present, TV series publicity often uses "large-scale" shots as gimmicks to attract attention, and many pictures walk on the edge of laws and policies, which need to be regulated urgently. Experts pointed out that China's law on TV series pornographic images is too vague, the law should be amended as soon as possible to clearly define its meaning, so as to put an end to the phenomenon of TV dramas playing on the sidelines.

not long ago, the TV series "the Legend of Wu Meiniang" was suspended for "technical reasons". After the re-broadcast, all the scenes below the chest were deleted, which was ridiculed as "the Legend of Wu Big head" by netizens. According to the SARFT's response, the clip of the play "back to the Furnace" is not just because of costumes, but some of them are "pictures that are not conducive to the healthy growth of minors." Before the show was broadcast, a group of leading actors and actresses in the petal bath "lingering" stills have been exposed, widely circulated on the Internet.

coincidentally, another TV series about Wu Zetian a few years ago was also controversial because of its excessive scale. In the play, only in the first two episodes, nude scenes, sex scenes, incest and other plots are involved, which is criticized by many people as no different from porn.

these two TV dramas are just a microcosm of the current situation of TV dramas. The reporter searched some popular TV series on the Internet, and the words such as "large scale", "heavy taste" and "passionate play" quickly came into view. Nowadays, in the promotion of TV dramas, many crew use this as a gimmick, turning the large-scale scenes in the play into promotional films or posters to attract the attention of the audience. In many TV dramas, such pictures appear frequently, most of which are not due to the needs of the plot.

Chen Xinxin, director of the Media Law and Information Law Research Office of the Institute of Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the so-called "large scale" is a popular term in society for TV dramas involving pornography or human exposure, and is not a proper term used in legal norms. The law of our country restricts the so-called "large-scale" plot of TV series, mainly in order to protect the physical and mental health of minors and maintain social morality.

Tian Jin said that after the revision and broadcast of "the Legend of Wu Mei Niang", it has actually been recognized by the broad audience. "our literary works, films, and TV dramas should all carry forward China's core values, convey truth, goodness and beauty, and transmit positive energy." Tian Jin said.

law. Experts point out that the current phenomenon of frequently playing porn in TV dramas is closely related to the vagueness of relevant laws and regulations in our country.

the regulations on the administration of radio and television in China stipulate that television stations are prohibited from producing or broadcasting programs that promote obscenity, or other content prohibited by laws or administrative regulations. The regulations on the management of the content of TV dramas issued by the State Administration of Press, publication, Radio, Film and Television points out that TV dramas shall not contain contents that promote obscenity, endanger social morality, infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of minors, or harm their physical and mental health.

"at present, the relevant laws of our country only prohibit obscene pictures and do not define the meaning of obscene content in the regulation of pornographic content of TV dramas. However, there is great fuzziness in the definition of obscenity in judicial interpretation. " Chen Xinxin said, for example, that a judicial interpretation issued by the Supreme people's Court and the Supreme people's Procuratorate defines obscenity as a specific description of sexual behavior or the explicit promotion of pornography; at the same time, it also stipulates that electronic literature and artistic works with artistic value containing pornographic content are not regarded as obscene materials. "this means that there are large-scale pictures or plots, but TV dramas with artistic value do not belong to the category of obscenity." Chen Xinxin said.

Chen Xinxin said that according to the interim regulations on the content censorship of TV dramas, TV dramas should be deleted and revised under the following circumstances, and those with serious problems should not be released or broadcast: showing and displaying abnormal sexual relations and sexual behavior. such as incest, sexual perversion, sexual abuse and sexual violence. Longer or more sensual sex scenes, kissing, caressing, bathing and similar indirect expressions or hints related to sexual behavior; lines and pictures with obvious sexual flirtation, sexual harassment, sexual insult or similar effects; vulgar and dirty pictures, lines and songs that are offensive to the public; exposure of male and female sexual organs and unnecessary display of other secret parts of men and women Pictures, lines, background music, sound effects, etc., which are not acceptable to minors.

Chen Xinxin said that although these regulations are further refined in operation, there are still some differences in understanding, such as the meaning of "other secret parts of men and women" and the definition criteria of "unnecessary". So as to leave an opportunity for some TV dramas to play the edge ball. Although the law cannot be accurate in the use of all descriptive languages, it should use as few vague words as possible.

experts point out that in view of the current situation of TV dramas in our country, in addition to perfecting relevant laws and regulations, it is also necessary to establish a grading system in line with the actual situation of our country.

"from a legal point of view, protecting the physical and mental health of minors and the right of adults to view erotic cultural works are the goals that the law needs to achieve. The TV series censorship standard currently implemented in our country does not fully consider the balance between the two, and many TV stations do not distinguish between adults and minors, which results in the two 'equal treatment' when watching works involving romantic content. Content censorship standards can only be equal and harmonious. " Chen Xinxin said that the adoption of a TV series content grading system, supplemented by a clear distinction between broadcast time and channels, is the key to resolving the contradiction.

Chen Xinxin believes that judging from the experience of other countries and regions, we can adopt legislation or trade associations to establish a grading system through industry self-discipline standards. At present, the administrative color of trade associations in China is strong, and the system of industry autonomy and self-discipline has not yet been formed. Therefore, it is suggested that the administrative department should establish the classification and classification standard of TV drama content with Chinese characteristics as soon as possible by the way of departmental regulation and legislation.

the relevant responsible person of the TV play Department of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television once told the media that the classification of TV dramas in China has entered the stage of data research on the TV classification system of more than a dozen countries and regions outside China, and not only will be considered to set aside time periods, there may also be special channels. The grading system of Chinese TV series will refer to the standards of developed countries, that is, TV dramas that are not suitable for minors, TV dramas that need parental guidance and TV dramas that are suitable for all viewers. Scientific, meticulous and reasonable underlining is the most difficult thing for TV series to grade.
