新中国初期美国电影在华市场的衰落

The Decline of the American Movies in China Market at the Beginning of the new China

建国前夕美国影片约占中国电影市场份额的90%。新中国成立之际为了缓解电影市场的供需矛盾、减少失业人群、稳定社会秩序,人民政府暂允各大影院放映一些影片内容不违反《共同纲领》和政府法令的西方电影。抗美援朝战争爆发后,中国观众增强了对美国的仇视、鄙视和蔑视,纷纷远离和摒弃美国影片。随着国产新片的超额出产、苏联及东欧电影的大量译制引进和发行放映部门的努力,到1951年初美国影片绝迹于中国电影市场。

The American films had accounted for about ninety percent of the Chinese film market share on the eve of the new China founding. In order to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of film market, to reduce unemployment and stable social order in the founding of new China, The people＇s government temporarily allowed the movie theaters to screen some western films whose contents did not violate the common program and the government＇s decree. After the outbreak of the Korean War, the Chinese audience had enhanced the hatred, disdain and contempt of the United States, then they, in succession, had stayed away from and abandoned the American films. Along with excess produce of the domestic new films, abundant translation introductions of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe＇s films, and the efforts of issuing and screening departments, the American films had vanished from the Chinese film market by the beginning of 1951.
