Recently, the National Film Administration, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, and the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission issued the "Notice on Deepening the Work of Supporting the Military in the Film Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), deploying the deepening of the work of supporting the military in the film industry. The Notice puts forward guidance requirements from the aspects of overall support for key topic films, optimization of military distribution and screening modes, and encouragement of organizing military friendly film viewing activities. Good rain knows the season, it will happen in spring. ”As a frontline military filmmaker, I deeply feel that these measures benefit the military and the people. At the right time, they are important measures to promote military civilian cooperation and the prosperity of the film industry. This is a beneficial measure to promote the creation and production of military themed films and TV shows. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there have been earth shaking changes in the modernization of national defense and the military. But we must soberly see that compared to the turbulent achievements of building a strong military, the heroic practice of building a strong military, and the enthusiastic training and preparation for war, there are still few excellent film and television works that can depict the era of building a strong country and a strong military with the posture of a "center forward". The practice of strengthening the military urgently requires us to focus on the changes of the times, technology, and war, and strive to become "secretaries of the times". Compared to the traditional military film and television creation model, the current military themed film and television creation has a heavy political burden, high entry barriers, and large capital investment, which presents significant challenges and difficulties. Therefore, we must adhere to the principle of "military civilian integration and complementary advantages", actively attract talents and forces from both inside and outside the country, borrow ships to go out to sea, and set up platforms to sing opera; Military civilian cooperation, win-win and mutually beneficial. The Notice clearly requires close military civilian cooperation, strengthened departmental linkage, provided support for film creation and shooting resources, and launched more high-quality films with profound ideas, exquisite art, and excellent production. Light and shadow shape history, inspiring immense power. This will undoubtedly inject strong confidence and motivation into the literary and artistic creation of military films and television for the centenary of the founding of the army, as well as into the excellent talents and resources in places interested in military film and television creation. This is good news for serving the military and promoting the work of supporting the army. For many years, film art has vividly recorded the achievements and glory of the People's Army, depicting magnificent and touching screen poems, shaping heroic images full of flesh and blood, and inspiring generation after generation of heroic officers and soldiers to fight bravely. Huang Jiguang watched the Soviet film "Ordinary Soldier" in a tunnel on the Korean battlefield and eventually became a hero in the style of the protagonist Matrosov; A flower wreath under the high mountain not only inspired officers and soldiers, but also became a collective memory for several generations. A movie ticket, a trickle of military intelligence. ”The author recently learned from the naval unit that grassroots officers and soldiers who are "at home on the sea and guests on the shore" have been performing military training missions at sea for many years and are very eager to see the latest released movies. Some grassroots troops and cinemas have signed annual and seasonal movie viewing contracts to ensure that officers and soldiers can see the latest films in the first time, which is widely welcomed. The notice emphasizes the optimization of the military's distribution and screening mode. Widely carry out red themed film screening activities in martyrs' cemeteries, memorial facilities, special care hospitals, glorious hospitals, etc. where conditions permit, encourage cinemas to set up ticket purchasing special channels, and provide voucher discount ticket purchasing services. These measures have a very positive significance in enriching the cultural life of military camps, promoting the construction of a strong military culture, and creating a social atmosphere that respects the military profession and retired soldiers. This is a positive exploration of optimizing the distribution and screening mode of movies. As is well known, in recent years, due to the diversification of communication methods and channels in the era of all media, the film industry is facing unprecedented challenges. The screening and distribution of films must keep pace with the times, take the initiative, actively expand screening and distribution channels, and achieve maximum communication efficiency. The military and related groups are a relatively stable audience with an undeniable audience base. The Notice requires copyright holders and cinema lines to organize preferential viewing activities for military personnel and retired soldiers, encourage the provision of condolence viewing services for task forces carrying out major military operations, and encourage film regulatory departments in various provinces, regions, and cities to provide appropriate subsidies to cinemas based on the viewing situation of local military personnel and retired soldiers. These measures not only benefit the military but also the people, and can play a positive role in increasing the number of moviegoers and improving movie box office performance. It is a mutually beneficial and beneficial measure. Of course, we must also be aware that even the best measures must be implemented in order to take root. For example, for creating contemporary military themed films and TV shows, the military should provide more guidance and support, and military civilian cooperation must be closer; Copyright holders and cinema lines should organize and carry out more military friendly movie watching activities, provide more condolence and movie watching services for the task forces carrying out major military operations, and the film regulatory departments of various provinces, regions, and cities should provide appropriate subsidies to cinemas' military friendly movie watching activities in a timely manner according to the actual situation. Only when these related supporting measures are perfected and mature, can good things be done well, satisfying both the military and the civilian sectors, and enabling the film industry to deepen and sustain its support for the military.
