| The world today is experiencing unprecedented changes.The world's multipolarization,economic globalization,and cultural diversity are accelerating.Therefore,China's ideological field is also facing many challenges from domestic and foreign countries.Adhering to the guiding position of Marxism in China's ideological field in the complicated world requires the people to carry out the publicity and indoctrination of socialist ideology through various channels and methods,and constantly promote the popularization of Marxism and make people identify and support the party's theory,guidelines,and policies in ideology and consciousness,contributing to the socialist modernization.As an important part of the ideological publicity of the Communist Party of China,the film and television field,a popular entertainment medium of the people,was used to promote and popularize Marxism as early as the founding of the People's Republic of China,which provides us rich experience that can be used for the reference of the popularization of Marxism.This article first introduces the historical background of the CPC's use of film screenings to promote the popularization of Marxism.During this period,in order to consolidate the new government and carry out the socialist revolution and construction,it was necessary to help the people shape the Marxist ideology.Watching movies in this period is a popular entertainment activity that the people like to see.It is a powerful weapon for Marxist publicity and popularization among the masses.Therefore,Mao Zedong put forward the thought that "literature serves the people" on Lenin and Stalin's ideas that "movie is the most important art form" and "movie is a propaganda tool to inspire the masses." Guided by Mao Zedong's literary and artistic policies,The film screening work in New China learned from the Soviet Union's experience and model of socialist education of the people through the film industry.Secondly,in order to realize the role of film screening in political and cultural publicityand ideological indoctrination to the masses,it is necessary to carry out pre-screening publicity of films in a planned and organized manner.The distribution of film publicity staff during this period was very extensive,with both professional film staff and amateur film attendants spreading over all sides.Film proponents often use traditional and modern media forms such as radio,slides,newspapers and magazines,as well as tangible and intangible publicity methods such as environmental arrangements in key places,targeted organization of audiences,and critical film recommendations to promote the films flexibly.Film screening is the critical part of using films to promote the popularization of Marxism.During this period,the CPC continuously expanded its film projection network,and film projection units,including urban cinemas and rural projection teams.Most of the films screened during this period contained the output of Marxist ideology,such as strong patriotism,clear class ideas,prominent socialist ideas,and the popularization of materialist ideas.In addition to the orientation of film content to popular Marxist values,film projection units have also adopted flexible and effective screening activities such as competitions for film projection and film exhibitions that combine political work,and narrative interpretations.All they did were to promote the effectiveness of popularizing Marxist values.The process of the CPC's promotion of Marxism through film screenings was not accomplished overnight,but was a complex and dynamic interactive process.This paper mainly explores and analyzes the effect of film screening on the popularization of Marxism during this period with the four major groups of workers,farmers,students,and women.Workers under the background of "industrialization" changed their impression of the Soviet Union from "unfamiliar" to "familiar" after watching movies,from "shallow" to "deep" patriotic feelings,from "ignore" to "renovation" in technological production;the farmers in the "collectivist" environment have a beautiful vision for the socialist new China,have the ambivalence of "going alone" or "joining the society",agricultural production from "blind" to "science" after watching the film;students in "patriotism" environment had a cult of "voting" volunteers,and their attitudes toward labor and learning have also changed to a certain degree,from "ignoring" to "raising" to join the Young Pioneers after watching the film;women under the theme of "emancipation" changed their concept of marriage from "feudal" to "free",labor production changed from "spontaneous" to "conscious",and political participation changed from "passive" to "active".Finally,this paper explores the inspirations of the contemporary revelation of the CPC's use of film screening to promote the popularization of Marxism in the early days of New China.First,the film and television industry must adhere to the unification of politics andartistry.Film and television is an important carrier of Marxist popularization.The guiding position of the industry is to develop the art of film and television on the basis of firm political principles.Second,film and television workers should pay attention to the promotion of ideology and professionalism.Film and television workers must not only improve their ideological and political level but also pay attention to improving their business capabilities,and consciously promote the popularization of Marxism in daily practice.Third,literature and art propaganda should pay attention to the combination of popularization and modernization,that is,focusing on the use of emerging mass media for propaganda,flexibly grasping people's favorite forms of propaganda and combining Marxist epochal characteristics for publicity.Therefore,learning from the experience of the Chinese Communist Party during the early period of the New China to promote the popularization of Marxism through film screening,and learning from its lessons and deficiencies,so that Socialist literature and art can effectively serve the popularization of Marxism. |
