Last March, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued the "Regulations on the Management of VOD Cinema", which caused a thousand waves, and the private VOD cinema was finally renamed. But today's visit found that some video-on-demand cinemas are too different from traditional cinemas. Coffee shops, Internet cafes, and party halls dare to set up a piece of white cloth in private rooms and call themselves "cinemas". The copyright of the film source and the internal environment are mixed. Many people are still carrying out black-box operations with luck.
Enter "private cinema" in the public comment, and you will see a lot, but when you really go to the place and go in to see it, it is not as beautiful, luxurious, comfortable and free as you think.
There are Internet cafes and seats for light coffee and meals in the hall, and the three cinemas on the side are "private cinemas".
In the private room, there is a computer on each side of the sofa that is not spacious. One can surf the Internet, and the other is used to order movies. Pull down the projection cloth and you can watch the movie.
"Ten yuan an hour, charged by time, from 165438+ 7 pm, as long as 5 1 yuan, you can watch movies or play games." The staff said that there are members of Tencent video website in the Internet cafe, so "as long as the video website has movies, you can watch them".
As a customer, the governor asked if he could bring his own copy of the film. The other party said, "Actually, it's impossible, but you can copy them in the computer with a USB flash drive at night."
Some party halls have also started the business of private cinemas. Across the country, some coffee shops, tea shops, billiards halls and KTV have started private cinema business. Claiming to be "cinemas", most shops are actually "cross-border operations". Watching movies is one of the entertainment items, and it is not a ticket fee, but a private room fee or a duration fee like KTV. Some businesses have played the "edge ball". "We copy the latest movies to the USB flash drive, and the cinema will see them next week, so it is ok to bring your own USB flash drive to watch movies."
Because the Regulations on the Administration of Video-on-Demand Cinema and the Regulations on the Administration of Video-on-Demand Cinema have no supporting regulatory rules, how to supervise these fake cinemas suspected of piracy is a difficult problem.
2065438+September 2006, the operator of Meng Hui Film and Television Tea Bar was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 10 month and fined 5000 yuan by the court for "the crime of infringing copyright". This is the first case in China that was directly imprisoned for "illegal recording in cinemas", which also sounded the alarm for the operators in the industry.
The on-demand cinema is regarded as a useful supplement to the traditional cinema, and it is also called the second cinema. What is on demand at the cinema? First, after the new film is downloaded, it will enter the "second round" screening of the on-demand cinema; The second is a classic film; The third kind is a film that has obtained a release license, but has not yet been released in a traditional cinema.
At present, the final income of many movies mainly depends on the box office. After the establishment of the on-demand cinema, both new and old movies have an additional channel to be released, which can extend the film release cycle and get more income.
According to the "Regulations on the Management of Video-on-Demand Cinema and Video-on-Demand Cinema", video-on-demand cinemas must join video-on-demand cinemas and obtain a film projection business license, and video-on-demand cinemas must obtain a film distribution business license.
On the copyright issue, the on-demand cinema is responsible for providing films to the on-demand cinema under its jurisdiction, and the on-demand cinema is not allowed to show films outside the distribution scope of the on-demand cinema it joins; Movies shown in and distributed by a video-on-demand cinema shall obtain a film distribution license according to law, and films distributed by a video-on-demand cinema shall obtain the authorization of the copyright owner according to law to be shown in the video-on-demand cinema.
From Mr. Wang's point of view, it is not difficult to find that after compliance, in addition to the industrial and commercial business license, the screening license and fire permit alone will block many small on-demand cinemas. Many shops with irregular site selection and without the support of genuine film sources will face the fate of being shut down.
Standardized on-demand cinemas such as bird watching will surely become the mainstream cinemas in the future, and will also become the best choice for more private cinemas, with standard backstage management systems and professional operation teams. Bird watching will help you end more questions about private cinemas in the future!
