A Study Of China Film Management System

Film has undergone a history of more than 100 years in China and experienced wars, suppression and reform, which contribute to its development and refinement both in pattern and connotation. Film is not only one type of entertainment, but also a vivid and deep-going picture of the reality and society. Thus the social notions, thoughts and experience covered in films have exceeded the screen, together with newspaper, books and etc., passing on social information ad fulfilling the content of freedom of speech. During the process, the cultural, educational and commercial functions of film are more and more obvious.Film itself is embodied with unique communicational function for calling on people's sense of identity and is very persuasive. Through mass media, the influence of film is widened and it plays a more and more important role in our daily life. The government and law system in any nation will always keep an eye on changes of the whole social system, therefore many countries cannot turn a deaf ear to the influential medium. As for China, we have always paid great attention to film management. We attend to improve its educational function and social influence aiming to promote the social stability and form harmonious culture. However the current management has its defects. Firstly, the management is trivial and not systematical. Secondly, it is general and casual. Lastly it stresses on the educational function and devalues the economic benefit. As we join in WTO and the globalization is coming, our film industry is facing the international challenge and its institutional defects. Therefore how to improve our competitiveness for dealing with these challenges is our priority.This article considers film and news, literature, art and etc. as the same kind for freedom of speech, puts it under the perspective of information dissemination and analyze it as a communication method in the process of film making. In this way, management system can be viewed as an intervention to information transformation in films, and thereafter the time, scope and degree of the intervention can be elements of the analysis. Compared to the managements in America and South Korea, the system in China showed precensoring character and the intervention is relatively early, wide and deep and is obvious management of individual.After the comparison, this article attempts to put forward some proposals of operability to improve management system in China. American has made great achievements in the world's film industry and here the article will learn from its classification and self-government system. Surely, the copy of one's system cannot help us ensure the legality and rationality, so the article apply South Korea's experience to analyze the possible methods for our system transition. Combing the quota system with its marketization and classification can be an example for management system transition in China and therefore China can finally establish rational system constructing with quota system, marketization and classification.
