Yesterday morning, at the Beijing International Club of the round table on "Cultural Forum", the State Council information Office qizheng entitled "media in the increasingly important role in China". Zhao pointed out that, in China and the world information interaction between dramatic growth in demand, the media is playing an increasingly important role. However, Zhao says, including media, Chinese and Western countries "cultural trade" deficit as high as 10-15 times, this is a must face up to reality.

The rapid development of China's media

Zhao said that in the last 20 years, China's rapid growth has attracted the attention of the world, we can say that each day a new China. If you want to actively contribute to this change, or just enjoy this change and adapt to this change, all information you need every day occurs. This includes international and China, not only affect society, also affects every community member's fate, the impact on the future of every enterprise, especially after China's accession to the WTO, China is the world's information requirements, and the world to China's information requirements, bi-directional dramatic increase in demand not only economic but also social aspects of development. "In this kind of rapid development, the Chinese media has been developed, not only in quantity, but also increasingly rich in content, international news coverage has increased. ”

Zhao, currently in China, there are a variety of newspapers, magazines, 8000 2000, television and radio channels in about 2000, nearly 10 million viewers, while nearly 1 billion Internet users.

China's media industry is still a gap between

China media to flourish, Zhao also pointed out that, compared with international counterparts, the Chinese media in the capital, business networking, business philosophy, management system and quality aspects there is also a large gap. Particular cultural trade context, on the United States and other Western countries to deficit of 5-10 times the figures presented, China books copyright trade deficit as high as 10-15 times, in addition to our massive imports of high-tech books, the publishing sector sales capacity in China, Chinese universal enough is also an important reason.

Again such as film and TV industry, like the Titanic and the Lord of the rings "in Chinese was a great benefit, while the Chinese film export are few, especially in the United States, it is difficult to be widely disseminated. Zhao believes that this is not only concerned with the cultural differences, and inadequate domestic film investment. United States large investment average close to $ 100 million, while the Chinese more important film investment is RMB 10 million.

In addition, marketing tools, as people, like Hollywood producers sometimes use 1/2 of the shooting fee to publicity, the input is only 1/10. " Sony entertainment company a leader told me that China does not lack-of-the-art resources, missing is the leading broker, you can find the factory managers to operate in a cultural field, not necessarily allow performers to operate. "Zhao says.

In addition to cultural trade deficit, in response to Western journalists about the Chinese media to the world, Zhao says, the Chinese media become the mainstream media, you need a long time and even 10-20 years. One of the major reasons are not in the language barrier, but cultural differences.

Another need is to communicate, to learn from the "Western China" and "China's external communication of information" to find a middle point.

Reverse the deficit will make a good movie

Chinese films to participate in international competition, the mere random small cost to get the three Film Festival award, and now will not work. In fact, foreign to the concerns of the Chinese film is negligible, especially in the foreign audience impact is very small.

An indisputable fact that is competitive in the audience size and the box office. I very much understand international film, I feel, in order to reverse the current Chinese film export deficit or reach and Hollywood films in the market share of the balance, that is about to shoot a competitive strength of the good work, with array fetch carrier is difficult, so we want to build your own carrier or destroyer.

We may not like Hollywood as a film hit into the 2 billion u.s. dollars, but we also invested RMB 3 million to create the same effect. The hero and the daggers in North America of the Chinese film in the international market is competitive.

A Director's success is the success of a series of products, in the same vein, China film to international film market holds, then there will be a series of tubes.

Enhance the output of a need to introduce competition

In our full-year box office, home-made movie less than half of the production value, such a situation is not only our products there is a problem in itself, but there are some objective external reasons, our products are still very difficult to enter foreign markets.

Film industry reforms from 2002 began to increase, really pushing the culture industry's progress, private capital into the industry in all aspects of the field, there are also open to foreign investors. The impact of these measures is that the culture industry structure has undergone tremendous change.

Specifically, the number of films and TV programs and TV drama production level is increased accordingly. However these policies in any legal system countries is the gradual process, we also continued awareness and development stage, also require amendment and eliminate some areas not suitable for competition.

Through the policy of constant progress, government management

Raise the level of cultural industries, in unceasing enhancement, we now can see a future where, I am full of hope.
