弹性定义、权益博弈、模糊边界——从中外合拍协议看合拍片现象

Elastic Definition,Interest Game and Fuzzy Boundary: Co-productions in the Perspective of China-Foreign Film Co-production Agreements

合拍片不只是影视机构或个人之间的纯艺术和商业行为,政府通过政策调控的影响力也是非常大的。改革开放以来,中国政府与外国政府先后签订了十一份合拍协议,并于1979年成立了"中国电影合作制片公司"。通过中外合拍协议以及中国电影合作制片公司的运作,可以从文化政策的角度透视当前中外合拍中存在的诸多问题,这包括关于合拍片定义的弹性、合拍协议背后的利益博弈以及文化政策在管理方面的模糊边界等问题。

Co-productions are not simply artistic or commercial behavior among film and television agen- cies or individuals, but also practices highly regulated and influenced by governmental policies. Since the re- form and opening up, Chinese government has signed eleven film co-production agreements with foreign govern- ments. China Film Co-production Corporation was also founded in 1979. By analyzing China-foreign film co- production agreements and the operation of China Film Co-production Corporation from the angle of cultural pol- icies, we can find many problems in co-productions, including elastic definition of a co-production, interest game behind co-production agreements and fuzzy boundary in cultural policy management.
