"Titanic" was released in Xiangjiang on December 18th. A few days later, the pirated CD came to the mainland.

Pirate hawkers are selling around. The vcd version costs six yuan and the dvd version costs eight to ten yuan. Relatively speaking, the dvd version has higher quality, no watermark, and the picture and sound are clearer.

DVD players gradually emerged in the second half of 1996, and by 1997, they had become the standard for ordinary families in big cities.

The DVD disc has a larger storage capacity. It can store several movies in a disc. Pirates will produce collections, such as a movie collection or martial arts collection of a certain star, etc.

This kind of pirated CD can attract everyone to buy it, which is more cost-effective, and you can watch several movies for ten yuan.

Video halls emerged around universities in Beijing. Every night, the boss would erect a board at the entrance of the video hall with the video to be screened tonight.

It is usually screened all night, and can be screened about eight movies overnight, and the fee is about three to five yuan.

If you enter the video hall after twelve o'clock in the evening, you will only charge one or two yuan, and sometimes you will also play erotic videos.

In an era when Internet cafes were not blooming everywhere, video halls were relatively cheap entertainment places for college students.

It can be seen from this that there is no one to care about how rampant piracy is in China. Hawkers blatantly, and some people openly open stores to sell pirated CDs, not only films and TV shows, but also games.

Hollywood film companies have a deep understanding of piracy in China.

They took some anti-theft measures, such as the copy of the movies they gave to the General Administration for review was often marked with watermarks or intentionally sabotage them, so that even if they were pirated, they were just gun versions.

A leader of a general bureau suggested that I can't see clearly your video, and whether there is any clearer one.

Hollywood film companies directly rejected it, mainly because they could not think of a better way to prevent piracy. Pirates in China have reached a point of omnipresence.

"Titanic" first entered the country through pirated versions.

Interestingly, at the beginning, the people of China were not very interested in this film, thinking that it was a vulgar Western romance film, with male and female leading actors being pretentious, and the whole film was unremarkable and had no novelty.

Everyone doesn’t like watching it very much, even professionals in the film and television industry have this opinion.

They criticized the acting skills of the male and female actors in the film as nothing. The only thing that interested everyone was the naked scene of the heroine. Many people watched this film because of this.

This is mainly influenced by the American media. "Titanic" was criticized in a tide when it was released in the United States.

Domestic media directly copied the reports from American media, which affected everyone's judgment.

At this time, Hollywood Film Company was selling this video to Hua Film Company and wanted to be released in the country.

Cameron's "The True Lies" won a box office of 100 million yuan in China, and they wanted to replicate this success.

Huaying Company intends to introduce "Titanic". The two sides are in negotiations. There are two focuses of the negotiations, one is the share ratio of the box office, and the other is the issue of deletion of the exposed lenses in the movie.

For Hollywood blockbusters introduced, according to convention, the box office share ratio is 13%. If the box office exceeds five million, the share ratio will gradually increase, and 17% will be topped off.

In terms of "The True Lies", Hollywood film companies can only take 17 million from the box office of 100 million yuan.

They think this share ratio is too low, so they recommend increasing it to 20%.

The exposed shots in the film are also the focus of debate between the two sides.

According to the management regulations of the Film Bureau, such shots are not allowed to appear in films released in China. Representatives of Hollywood Film Company believe that cutting them will destroy the integrity of the plot and the artistic nature of the film.

At this time, both the Chinese government and the people were not enthusiastic about this Hollywood blockbuster.

The turn of public opinion began with the 14 Oscar nominations for "Titanic", and the "Titanic", which blessed the Oscar halo, began to be sought after by domestic media.

In the Beijing Women's Prison, Lin Xiaoling took crew members and actors into the filming.

Although I obtained the filming permit in prison, it was not indefinitely. The prison only gave the crew fifteen days.

The scenes of the prison include the daily life of the prisoner, the scenes of the female prisoner Taolan being notified to be released from prison and reunited with her family after being notified of parole, and the scenes of Taolan leaving the prison.

Through these scenes, the character of female criminal Tao Lan was portrayed.

What was her life in prison like, what was she like after receiving the notice, and what expressions did she have when she left the prison?

Seventeen years of prison life have made Tao Lan familiar with everything in prison, and she feels safe in this environment.

When she suddenly received a notice of leaving the prison, she felt not first of all joy, but fear. Compared with the prison, the outside world was even more unfamiliar and helpless.

However, while she was frightened, she still had a little expectation, looking forward to being able to reunite with her family.

This subtle changes in the heart must be expressed through the actor's expressions and eyes. It can be said that in this film, Liu Lin's performance is extremely important.

Although Xu Jinglei has many scenes, her performance is not difficult.

She was a young policeman, so enthusiastic because she was young. Seeing that no one came to pick Taolan up and was released from prison, she offered to send Taolan home and participate in the family reunion process.

Because of the documentary style, actors should try not to perform and maintain a lifelike state.

The scenes in the prison were filmed very slowly, and Lin Xiaoling wanted to truly show the prison life of a female prisoner and the impact of the prison on the prisoners.

The filming of the day ended and the crew finished work.

Lin Xiaoling and Xu Jinglei drove on the road, and the atmosphere of New Year in Beijing became stronger and stronger. They were discussing follow-up plans.

"You don't really plan to take pictures on New Year's Eve, are you? But it's New Year." Xu Jinglei said depressedly.

"It's true. Take a picture of what happened on New Year's Eve. The entire capital city is the background of the film. You two will continue to act. Don't care about the camera or the people around you." Lin Xiaoling said, "Let's try not to stop this part, just go through it."

In the script, there are a long scenes from leaving prison to returning home, showing Tao Lan's discomfort with the outside world. This is a stretched journey home.

"You said it lightly, you can't pass it once, there will definitely be an accident." Xu Jinglei shook her head and said.

"It's better to have an accident. You will perform on the spot. If I don't shout to stop, you will continue to perform." Lin Xiaoling said, "Besides, you are wearing police uniforms. Who dares to mess with you? The masses don't know whether it is true or not."

The two of them returned to their rented apartment and they had to move home in a few days. During the Chinese New Year, they always had to live at home to live.
